• Live Purchase: After issue with his eBay account, Micah uses Ben's card and places the $1,000 deposit on a $125,000 Viper. The crew is simultaneously nervous and stoked.

  • CJ: "Dude, what we need to do is obviously you should go get that thing. I think you should film picking it up..." [27:42]

  • Ken: "He comes up and he shows me a picture...you can see the 55 mile per hour sign, like, in front of my car. And then he goes, I clocked you at 55 here, and it's a 30. And I'm like, looking back, I'm like, right there." [11:54]
• Getting Caught Red-Handed: Ken gets an extra ticket for windshield tint (3%!), but avoids tickets for side windows thanks to some wry luck.
  • Ken: "He was like, how dark? And I go, three. Take a guess. And he was like, five. And I was like, three." [13:04]
• Discussion:
  • Strategies for dealing with cops—admit and accept responsibility (“I messed up”), don't feign ignorance.
  • Most of the group agrees: honesty is usually your best shot at a lighter ticket.
  • The saga of Ken's window tint prescription—earned by actual eye injury (from Ben smashing his face with a birthday cake).
    • CJ: "Ken then went to the optometrist, and they gave him a window tint prescription because his eyeball is slightly messed up now..." [15:37]

[06:19–10:08, 31:40–33:38]

[19:01–23:52, 25:17–26:38]

• Investing: Micah makes his first stock market moves; the hosts commiserate about timing the market, recent volatility, and lessons learned (CJ hit the panic button and sold all his stock after watching his $40k in gains evaporate, only for the market to bounce).
  • CJ: “The thing with the stock market, Mike, is that you don’t want to time it, you just want to have time in it.” [20:02]

[38:04–43:30]

• The crew recounts the hilarity and stress when Ken, trying to avoid a semi, lightly backs the rental car into another vehicle.
  • CJ: “It was going to hit us, and he was not slowing down at all. So Ken throws this thing in reverse and starts backing up...next thing you know, Ken just backs into this lady.” [39:08]

  • CJ: “Ken's strong. Yeah, strong like an ox.” [58:24]

• Spring Projects: Off-roading and jet-skiing season is almost here, but Minnesota’s weather is still wild (“We got more snow last week than all winter”).
• Footwear: Ben and the crew pitch their new MUK boots, with jokes about the crew’s tendency to wear the worst possible shoes for muddy conditions.

Transcript

[Ken]

The bank will give you money for just about anything.

[Ben]

Everyone else has to just be like the most animated version of themselves when anything happens.

[CJ]

And it was going to hit us and he was not slowing down at all.

[Ken]

I haven't got a speeding ticket in eight years.

[Mike]

All right, let's do it.

[Ken]

Congratulations.

[Evan]

Let's go.

[Ken]

Congratulations.

[CJ]

Oh, my. Big moment. It's nerve wracking making a big purchase like that.

[Ben]

I'm bad at selling for a profit. I've only sold one car for a profit.

[Mike]

Yeah. It's something I learned the hard way that that's actually just not usually the case.

[Ben]

That's just cars.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you shouldn't expect that ever. You shouldn't buy a car, really. Ever expecting to sell it for more.

[Ken]

Mike was just showing us a Viper. That is sick. That we're trying to convince him to buy. As good friends should.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

But I was gonna ask you, Mike, what is, like, what. What's the story with the Viper? Like, why is that the car? The ever elusive Viper.

[Mike]

My dad was a big mopar guy. I grew up a big mopar guy. We didn't have subscriptions of very many magazines. I think he just got it because he worked at the mopar dealership. But we had, like, the Viper magazine. So I would just flip through it and instead of, you know, like, car and drive, you're looking at all these different cars. I'm just looking at Vipers.

[Ken]

Straight Vipers.

[Mike]

Vipers. He's got, like, little replicas of vipers. Unfortunately for him, never owned a Viper. But then that was kind of where that came from. I'm like, well, I should get one.

[Evan]

And.

[Mike]

And then as time went on, people on social media started treating vipers like there were some sort of holy grail. Not the holy grail by any means, but they're like, oh, Z06 is. Those are sick. But did you see his Viper? So that's rare. That's the goal behind it. Yeah. They're going up in price. So that's the downside. And I really think I got to make it happen this summer before they keep going up.

[CJ]

That is a downside for you, Mike, because you only like buying things that are going down in value.

[Mike]

Right. So you mentioned, like, dude, dude, it feels insane to me to get, like, a loan on a supercar. It's crazy that the bank will give you that. Like, hey, I want this sports car.

[Ken]

The bank will give you money for just about anything as long as you're.

[Ben]

Willing to pay for it.

[Mike]

It's crazy.

[Ken]

Like, they're in the business of giving people money.

[Mike]

That's true.

[Ken]

Money.

[Mike]

Money.

[Ken]

Mike doesn't even know what a bank is. I convinced my girlfriend that Mike didn't believe in banks for the longest time. I think she believed it for a couple years, actually. And that Mike would just put his money underneath his bed, which isn't that crazy of like a. It's not that foreign of a concept.

[Ben]

Right?

[Evan]

Because we were up in Mike's office sl bedroom in the old shop, and he.

[Mike]

You had what, like, 1100 bucks in cash?

[Evan]

Yeah, I was gonna say like a bunch of tip money, basically. And we're like, oh, yeah, Mike, he doesn't put his money in the bank.

[Ken]

Trust the banking system. Your mom doesn't trust the banking system?

[Ben]

My mom doesn't trust anything.

[Evan]

Your mom doesn't trust the.

[Mike]

I didn't know that.

[Ben]

I try and, like, listen to her for a little bit, and then she starts saying, like, all these why? Wild conspiracies. And just like, I. I feel bad, but I'm gonna tune you out for a little bit.

[Mike]

I. I think she does have. Still has some sort of compass. Like, some of the stuff she says I agree with. Do you as well, or do you think everything she says is crazy?

[Ben]

No, there's like. For every 10 things, there's like, the one that's like, okay, I. I gotta take you with a grain of salt right now.

[Ken]

I will always have your mom one bad.

[Ben]

Yeah. But it's always like, the one that's always just completely out of left field.

[Mike]

I don't want to have him catch a straight here. But like, Uncle Buck, he.

[CJ]

He's.

[Mike]

He's also very accurate on a lot of things.

[Ken]

And I'm catching a straight Uncle.

[Ben]

Your uncle and my mom are pretty much the same on the same wavelength.

[Ken]

What conspiracy theorist would that be?

[CJ]

They're almost like doomsday prepping. Yeah, I'd say Buck is almost like Doomsday Prep 100%.

[Ken]

Yeah. Uncle Buck also kind of doesn't believe in. In the bank system.

[Mike]

Really?

[Ken]

And so he. Yeah, he has a bunch of money in silver.

[Mike]

Silver.

[Ken]

Yeah. So he lost a bet to me and he paid me 500 bucks or a thousand bucks in silver, which is pretty sick because it stopped me from, like, ever using. Like, I just have the silver in my safe now.

[Evan]

What the hell are you going to do? Like, molded into a frickin. What do they make? Silver?

[CJ]

What do you know?

[Ken]

I think they know it's like silver coins. So, like, if the banks did fall, I would have Silver got some shekels.

[Evan]

Yeah, shekels takes.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Evan]

For good.

[Ken]

I don't know how far it could get me, but it could give me, I guess, a little bit.

[Ben]

Do you buy that online? Do you have to go somewhere for that or. Like, where does even get this?

[Ken]

Yeah, I think you can buy silver online, actually, but it comes in like crates because silver is not light.

[CJ]

It's got to be expensive. Got to.

[Ken]

Yeah, that's a depreciating asset right there. Like you're spending a thousand bucks on silver, but it costs you 200 bucks to ship it.

[Evan]

It's like the immediately worth 800 Robin Hood or like Coinbase or whatever. It's like the same thing. Yeah.

[Ben]

Gas fees on crypto.

[Evan]

Mike, though, if you pull off. If you pull off that Viper, what do we.

[CJ]

I think you got to buy it right now.

[Ken]

Right now.

[Evan]

Oh, it's on ebay, dude. Just add to cart.

[Mike]

Deposit of $1,000 is required.

[Ken]

Done.

[Ben]

You need to take a loan with my credit card or.

[Ken]

There you go, Ken.

[Mike]

Loaning deposits are non refundable.

[Evan]

The podcast could put up $1,000.

[Mike]

Yeah, luckily your deposit, this isn't that.

[Evan]

You have to pay back.

[Ken]

Does the podcast have $1,000 to put up?

[Evan]

Yeah, just. It's all tied up. Yeah, well, assets and investments right now.

[Mike]

Yeah. It's ironic that I've literally thought that I've looked at every Gen 5 Viper for sale right now, but he finds. Dude, send me one that I haven't seen.

[Ken]

It's insane. I swear, Ken has some like back alley entrance to these apps.

[Ben]

Just got Cargurus and Auto Tempest. That's like the two to look at because they have everything.

[Ken]

Mike, I think you should buy positive.

[Mike]

$1,000 is required. Is non refundable. That's not the end of the world.

[Ben]

Trump changed for money.

[Mike]

Damn. Out of worse. No press buy it now.

[Evan]

Yeah, just press buy it now.

[CJ]

I'd do that at 125. Yeah, at least. Click. That'd be a good video. And then we go and get it. Pick it up.

[Ben]

There's a make an offer option on there.

[Mike]

Not on this one. I was hoping for that.

[Ken]

Come on, Mike. The podcast needs a thumbnail. For real. Mike buys a Viper live on the podcast.

[Mike]

Your account, it's been highly tested and buying. What? I don't bid on anything. Currently, your account has reached the limit for bidding and buying.

[Ken]

Oh, have Evan do it then. Evan's got. Evan's got like the best. Yeah, he's got the best ebay account you can Get. He doesn't believe in Amazon.

[CJ]

Why don't you just message the guy and then just do it off ebay?

[Mike]

That's probably a better idea.

[CJ]

I just get a hold of him and just say, hey, give me a call. Let's do this off ebay. I can. I can, you know, send you a thousand bucks or whatever, but let's. Let's meet up and I want the car. Just tell them you want to buy it.

[Ken]

Where's it at?

[Mike]

Ohio.

[CJ]

Can you drive it back from there? It's probably not.

[Mike]

I probably would. I probably would.

[Evan]

I will say my favorite part, my favorite miles in my vet. We're driving at home, so it's so fun.

[Mike]

I was literally just going to ask you that. I'm like, I like the idea of purchasing a vehicle and then driving it home, permitting, it's not like the middle of winter, whatever. Because you immediately get to know. You're forced into getting to know all the things you probably are gonna love and you might not like about it.

[CJ]

Mostly, hopefully love also.

[Evan]

Like, we drive these roads every day. Like, even in the new car, it's not gonna feel that special. But you start in this new foreign place, it's like downloading a DLC to a new part of the video game. Like, it's just. You're so excited. You're in a new place. You're trying to find the first gas station to stop to like. It's so fun. It is. The best part is my favorite part about buying that car was picking it up in Texas.

[Mike]

So the Cummins that I bought a while back, it's actually.

[CJ]

You haven't even got that one yet. You have two cars here.

[Mike]

I know.

[CJ]

Two new vehicles.

[Mike]

That's not a reason not to.

[CJ]

No, it's not. It's not.

[Mike]

Especially when you're Mike full send diesel where Dalton's truck is. So I was asking him when Dalton's truck would be done. I'm like, you should just take it back with Dalton's truck. And then he said, oh, we won't have room. We're taking another truck. And so then I'm like, I might just fly out there and drive back.

[Evan]

Where's that, though?

[Mike]

Pennsylvania.

[Ken]

It's probably, what, 24 hour drive?

[CJ]

Yeah, it was two days of driving.

[Mike]

It was 20 hours.

[Evan]

20. That sucks.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

There is a point where it kind of goes like, do I want to drive from Penny?

[Mike]

Yeah. I would be, like, mobbing with them on their way here with Dalton's truck.

[Evan]

Oh, that's true.

[Mike]

Probably the worst thing talking about one.

[CJ]

Of those guys drive it.

[Mike]

That's true. They just have to take another guy.

[Ben]

That get it shipped too, for probably a thousand bucks.

[Ken]

This guy, he knows, dude, he knows everything.

[Mike]

Like, I knew I could get it shipped, obviously, but for a thousand bucks, the guys.

[Ken]

Ken knows.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

By the time you. You buy a flight and pay for the fuel.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

No, that's what I'm getting is I couldn't even do that for that. Not even close.

[Ken]

Ken is just in the business of shipping things.

[CJ]

Is.

[Ken]

He's shipping packages. He ships. He's shipping. He's shipping the boys like he does all of our travel advis misery. And then he's shipping our vehicles every which way.

[CJ]

I just had him ship the TEMU Typhoon today.

[Ben]

Yeah, that one's gonna be a little bit of work. I don't think we're gonna get it here by the time the ice comes off.

[CJ]

Oh, really?

[Ben]

The problem is the width, but we're. We're working on it.

[Mike]

Oh, we want. Do we want it for the ice?

[CJ]

I mean, we just want it in general. It'll be fine.

[Ken]

Yeah. The Timu Typhoon that we bought, we. We had our buddy Wamilton fix it, but the dude has so little confidence in the TEU Typhoon that he won't test drive it.

[CJ]

Yeah, he doesn't really.

[Ken]

He won't even put it in the water and test drive it for us because he's like, I don't want to be responsible for breaking it, like, if it sinks.

[CJ]

Which honestly, you can't blame the guy. It's literally held together by door hinges.

[Mike]

And two by sinking. Makes sense. But the whole braking thing, it's like if he blew up both motors simultaneously, we'd be like, all right.

[CJ]

I don't think he's worried about that.

[Mike]

Yeah. Okay. It's just the torque thinking, the torque ripping it apart. Oh. Like it might actually work. So that the. I could see that two by fours that hold the rear of the jet skis on could break.

[Ben]

I'm just a little concerned at how this thing's put together. Just having this thing go across the country on a trailer might make it fall apart.

[CJ]

Well, it's got to get here somehow.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

It did make it from South Carolina to Florida, which isn't that far. But one of the subs. You might even be listening right now. Came through heavy and drove it down on the shittiest trailer I think I've ever seen. I can't believe it made it that far. Please tell me that they're not transporting it Back on that same trailer?

[Ben]

No, no, he was saying he'll. He'll put the trailer on a flatbed.

[Ken]

Okay, good. Yeah. Okay.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I told the dude this trailer is a piece of garbage. I don't trust that it'll make it.

[Ken]

I don't think it would make it down the road at this point. That thing is so rickety.

[Ben]

I mean, it's also wide.

[Ken]

Cj, you're going to be pretty proud of me.

[CJ]

What'd you do?

[Ken]

I got a speeding ticket.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah, I saw that sucker.

[Ben]

How fast?

[Ken]

Make you pretty happy?

[CJ]

Yeah, I mean, you were due for it.

[Ken]

I was due for it. I haven't got a speeding ticket in eight years.

[CJ]

Eight years.

[Evan]

Gotten a speeding tick in eight years.

[Ken]

Well, because I drive pretty good, Ryan.

[Evan]

What happened the other day then?

[Ken]

Honestly, I got got. I got got, dude. And it's not an excuse. I mean, I was speeding, but I was coming off Highway 10 in Audubon.

[Evan]

Yep, dangerous spot.

[Ken]

And then there's like that, I don't know, 300 yards where it's a 30 and then it goes to the 55.

[Ben]

Oh, they just made that a 30 like a year ago.

[Ken]

Yeah, kind of whack. Cuz, like, I was just speeding up into 55. Like, you turn and like, it's not long enough where you, like, really think about, like, going through slow. At 30, you kind of just turn and then you just speed up. And then by the time you. You get to the 55, you're like at 55.

[Evan]

Yep.

[Ken]

And I just impressive, because I think.

[Mike]

Most of us would be. Most of us would be at about 65, 70.

[Ken]

I just sped up and got to the 55 and was just driving normal. Next thing I know, a cop's behind me. I pull over and I'm like, oh, dude, I'm getting go for tint. My tint is insane on the urus. And 0%, he comes up and he shows me a picture. He must have took a photo of. I don't even know what this was, but he shows me a picture of the back of my car. And then you can see the 55 mile per hour sign, like, in front of my car. So you see the 55, my car. And then he goes, I clocked you at 55 here, and it's a 30. And I'm like, looking back, I'm like, right there.

[Evan]

What?

[Mike]

Right here?

[Ken]

And he's like, yeah. And I'm like, I don't even. What do you even say? 55 and a 30.

[CJ]

I'll tell you what, you Said, dude, write the ticket.

[Ken]

No, I. I didn't even argue it. I was just like, yeah, they like it. That is me in that photo that you're showing me right now. So I did it. Clearly I was doing it.

[Ben]

They just made that a 30, like within the last 12 months, though. And you don't even think about it because we've lived around here for so long, them changing that speed limit doesn't even register in my mind.

[Ken]

Well, it should now because they're posted up and.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

So then he starts tearing my car apart and was like, you got tint on it? And I was like. Or he was like, this is dark tint. How dark is it? I was like, I don't know. It was on there when I bought it. Which I knew is dark. I knew it was dark. I didn't know it was this dark. It's 3%. 3%.

[Mike]

Okay, that actually makes sense. I was kind of joking when I said zero percent. Like, that's dark.

[Ken]

I was just got the opportunity. He puts his reader on and like the reader was on the inside of the window so I could see it. My jaw just dropped. He's like, how dark? And I go, three. Take a guess. And he was like, five. And I was like, three.

[Evan]

Oh, my gosh.

[CJ]

That's funny.

[Ken]

I was like. I was like, holy.

[CJ]

So he was being nice.

[Ken]

I mean, yeah, he was a nice, nice guy.

[CJ]

Did he give you a tin ticket or no?

[Ken]

Yeah, he gave me a windshield tin ticket.

[Mike]

Oh, wow.

[Ken]

And then he came back and was like, you know, I'm not going to give you a window for the sides tin ticket, but I am going to give you for the windshield. And I was like, oh, good. Understand. And. And then he was like, but can't do anything about the speeding. And that just gives me my ticket. I was like, bro, not even like.

[CJ]

So you got down to a 55 and a 30.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

So that's 25 over.

[Ken]

Yeah, it is 25 over.

[Evan]

Ryan, is that a mate? Like, that's a major speeding ticket, right? Like, you start getting up in those numbers.

[Ken]

I don't know, it's. Dude, not a minor.

[Evan]

What's 25 over in a 55?

[Ken]

80.

[Evan]

80 and a 55 is pretty fast. But it's like right at. In this little zone here, like, you're just speeding up a little early.

[Mike]

That's tough.

[Ken]

It's tough.

[Evan]

25 over.

[Ben]

Tough. Look.

[Mike]

Yeah, I thought your rear view, your rear view mirror was like super high tech. Trying to dim it down or something because I'm like, dude, I cannot see out of this. I look back, I'm like, oh, it's just that dark.

[Ken]

It's just that dark. Yeah.

[Mike]

It's insane. Yeah.

[Ken]

The guy that had my car before me had to have been. I don't know, he had to have been some kind of celebrity or something that didn't want anybody knowing who was in it, which is kind of nice. Like, when I'm in there and, like, somebody is, like, maybe sitting there looking at you at a stoplight, and it's kind of awkward and. Well, I don't think it's that awkward, but Greta hates it. And she's like, can they see us right now?

[Evan]

I'm like, no, no, trust me.

[Ken]

No, they cannot. Is pitch dark in there.

[Ben]

Might have had an eye condition.

[CJ]

Ken has a window tint prescription.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Thanks to you, Ben.

[Ben]

I've got light sensitivity because of you.

[CJ]

Thanks to Ben.

[Ken]

You should be thanking him, Ken. You should be thanking me.

[Ben]

10 tickets anymore, actually, I haven't got a window. Window tint ticket since you did that.

[Mike]

So you don't even need to walk on wood, though.

[CJ]

Can you for clarification, Ken Matthews, he got so many window tin tickets that after Ben smashed him in the face with his birthday cake on his birthday, and the candle went to his eye.

[Ken]

All right, blow it out.

[CJ]

All right. That was too much.

[Evan]

No, I'm not.

[Mike]

Okay.

[CJ]

Two days later.

[Ben]

It's pretty. Yeah.

[CJ]

Damn, bro. Okay.

[Ben]

Can you see that?

[CJ]

Ken then went to the optometrist, and they gave him a window tint prescription because his eyeball is slightly messed up now, and he now can legally have illegal tint on his car, only on.

[Ben]

The sides, not on the windshield, which is, like, the most important part. But yeah.

[Ken]

What?

[CJ]

Don't be complaining, Ken. All of us would love to be able to have.

[Mike]

Well, it was interesting because we were all trying to, you know, find a way to finagle our way into getting that signature on, like, a tint right off. And then Ken just so happened to actually become injured.

[CJ]

Ken earned it.

[Mike]

Yeah, exactly like he earned it. So it's like if there's anyone that's gonna have it, when some.

[Ben]

You lose some.

[Evan]

That.

[Ben]

That just came out as a dub on my side.

[CJ]

Yeah. I mean, normally, though, like my advice, when you get caught red handed speeding and you're clearly speeding, it's just best to be like, yeah, I know. Shouldn't have done that. I'm. I'm an idiot. And then they normally lighten up at that point, and then we'll sometimes let you go off the tint and then sometimes even knock it down. Yeah, like my last one, the guy knocked it down. I think I was going, like, 80 or something in a 55. And he knocked it down to, like, not as much or maybe it was higher. I don't know. I got the ticket in there.

[Mike]

Whenever I get caught speeding, I tell them, they're like, you know how fast you were going? And then I, like, make it sound like I'm guessing and then guess the exact amount that I was going 88.

[Ken]

If he would have asked that, I would have been like, where? Like, I didn't even.

[Evan]

Yeah, I didn't even really know.

[Ken]

Didn't even register.

[Evan]

Mistake.

[CJ]

The ticket I got before my last one, the guy came up just all, like, mad. And because he came up all mad, I just decided to just like. I was just like, it. I don't even care. And then he was like, you're going pretty fast, weren't you? I was like, was I. You know, I did that, and I kind of put a stupid look on my face, which made him even more mad. Oh, no. And then he was like, you had been going well above 80. I got you at 80. I was like, that doesn't make sense. No, I don't think so. And, like, just was going back and forth and. And then I, like, caught him going back on his words, and. And I was just like, see, that's.

[Evan]

Why I think they loosen up. They loosen up when you're just like, yep, I messed up. Then they're like, okay, I'm not going to deal with some guy who thinks he's a lawyer and going to try to talk his way out of this ticket.

[Mike]

Like.

[Evan]

Like, if you just. And I think that's the right thing to do. If you're like, I have made a mistake or committed a crime technically, and by going too fast, you're just like.

[Ken]

Yeah, I did it.

[Evan]

You're not. Be like, oh, no, my speedometer was off. Or your reader is inaccurate. You know, just like, just trying to lie to get your way out of it. If you just, like, accept responsibility for something like that, I feel like then they loosen up.

[Ken]

Yeah, I got. Got in 4k, straight up.

[Evan]

I love. He showed.

[Ken]

You showed me a picture. I was like, God, I look stupid driving right now with that little. The fucking white wheels with the 55. Right?

[Evan]

Get that picture.

[Ken]

Yeah, that guy's an idiot.

[Evan]

Sorry, Mike, you buy the Viper yet?

[Mike]

I forgot my wallet at the farm.

[Evan]

And put in your credit card.

[Mike]

Yeah, I guess my credit card. You need to link it to prove that you're verified of age to buy this item.

[Ken]

You want use mine?

[Mike]

Sure, do it. Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to obviously use it to buy anything else, so.

[Evan]

Good. Add the Viper to cart.

[Mike]

So. Yeah, that's. Dude, it's hilarious. Has anyone bought a car on ebay? I know. It's actually a pretty reputable.

[Ben]

Yeah, I bought my. My WRX on ebay.

[Evan]

You had a wrx?

[Mike]

That's right. I read. Yeah. Red wrx.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

All right. Anyway, I'll. I'll get back to you guys.

[Evan]

You guys been buying the dip?

[Mike]

I've actually bought stocks for the first time in my entire life.

[Ken]

Nice, Mike.

[CJ]

You bought at the dip, right?

[Ken]

There you go, Mike.

[Evan]

Mike.

[CJ]

Worked out pretty good and.

[Mike]

Huh. Yeah, it worked great.

[CJ]

As of right now, they might drop again.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

So don't feel too good.

[Ken]

Yeah. Kind of wild. Dude, I've been watching just like a lot of different YouTube, like finance videos about people just talking about where we're at right now with the economy. And I just keep thinking like, man, is this how it felt in like 08? I was just too young to even know what was going on back then.

[Mike]

Right.

[Ken]

But just like, I guess the way people have been looking at it.

[CJ]

But I don't know if this is as bad as 08.

[Ken]

No, 8 was, I think like a.

[CJ]

The housing market crash.

[Ken]

50% loss in the S and P.

[Ben]

It feels more like the 2020. The market's more like 2020 than 08, I think. At least it seems very parallel to 2020.

[CJ]

The thing is, though, is like, so it just rocketed up today because Trump pushed the tariffs back another 90 days for every other country other than China. And so, yeah, I mean, that puts us out three months. So end of summer, roughly, we're gonna. We're gonna have more of an answer, which will either send them all the way back down again or send them up. The thing with the stock market, Mike, is that you don't want to time it, you just want to have time in it. That's what they say. It's not about timing the market. It's about just having time in it.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's if anything I'm aware of. It's just literally that I plan to, like, leave it in there for the next five years or whatever.

[CJ]

The nice thing about you being late to the game on buying stocks is that you came late at the perfect time because you just saved yourself like a year or maybe even two. Any in terms of your buying price.

[Ben]

Any gains you could have had in the last year would have been basically reset back to where they were 12 months ago.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's a good point.

[CJ]

Worked out. Good job, Mike. Job.

[Ken]

My good things come to those who put it off. Yeah.

[Mike]

Is really. It was a lack of knowledge, and it's just like. It is interesting how that can just go on and on. I don't know. I just put my first couple thousand in the stock market, and hopefully now.

[Evan]

You'Re buying a Viper, dude.

[Ken]

I'd say it went pretty good, Mike.

[Mike]

Big return.

[Ken]

The other day, we were sitting in Big Wrench's garage, and it's when everything started going down. And CJ Opens up his phone and goes, ken, how do I sell all. How do I sell everything?

[Mike]

Like, serious. Because when you.

[Ken]

I did sell everything.

[Mike]

Yeah. And when you told me you sold everything of all the things that you worked up to get, I didn't quite understand it. I was like, so he sold everything? Like that. Was that the right thing to do? I don't know.

[Ben]

You sold everything and then he bought it back?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Did you sell again?

[CJ]

No. I don't know, like, how much I can really say, but I've been, like, buying stocks for probably three, maybe four years and just, you know, slow and steady. Had quite a bit of money in there. Probably two months ago, I was up, like, 40 grand. Like, if you would have just gone to my gain loss statements. So I was doing really well in the stock market, but I just, you know, been buying at good times over time and all of that. I had watched in probably a week go down and down and down and down and down. And I was like, even this was the dip prior to. Once it really started tanking. But basically, I was like, I'm even. This is probably going to keep going lower because, like, the. Everyone's. This was before even any tariffs had, like, been set. I don't know. I just was off the cbd, and I was a little nervous, and I just was like, ken, how do I sell all. I sold all of my stocks in one moment there. And then they freaking rocketed up the next day, which was so stupid.

[Ken]

And we're sitting there.

[CJ]

Yeah. Everyone's laughing at me. Everyone's laughing at me.

[Ken]

And then, dude, Evan loves this story the most. Yeah. Evan should tell the story better, dude. He loved that moment when he goes, you guys see the stock market today? Evan doesn't even have stock. He doesn't give.

[CJ]

He now cares.

[Ken]

He just cares that cj.

[CJ]

Yeah. So. But then it ended up Going back down again to actually even more past when I sold.

[Ken]

Yeah, I mean, in. In hindsight, it was the right move after seeing what it did, keep going down. But that would assume that you bought at, like the lowest point and then it goes back up. But, like, the thing is, is you just never know.

[CJ]

Yeah, I mean, never know. I don't think it was the right move for me because then I started, like, nibbling back in. So I basically, like, sold at a spot. It went up, and then it went back down and I bought some more. And then, like, it would have been as if I never sold. And then it went down more again. But then I kept buying. I was telling Mike, I was like, bro, now is the time to start buying. And now, you know, we are. Now we up. Now we up. This guy's getting a fucking Viper.

[Mike]

All right, so we're. We're ready. It says price 125,000. Deposit 1,000 buyers responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping.

[Ben]

Do you want to negotiate at all or you just willing to pay?

[Mike]

Should I sent him a message there? Yeah, There was no, like, number, so I don't know if it's a private seller or not.

[Evan]

Really Annoying. Yeah, you can't just call.

[Mike]

Yeah, I really would love to talk to him.

[CJ]

I'm pretty sure if you deposit that thousand, it'll at least be held in escrow by ebay. So you're good.

[Mike]

All right, let's do it.

[CJ]

Do it, Mike.

[Ken]

Let's go, Mike.

[CJ]

Mike's cam.

[Evan]

Viper.

[Ken]

Let's go. Viper.

[CJ]

Mike, What a moment. What a moment.

[Ken]

Live. I love it.

[Mike]

You've committed to buy this item. Pay now. The next option. Buy another, buy two it.

[CJ]

Mike, wait.

[Evan]

You still got Ben's card in there? Dude, just pay now.

[Mike]

I don't think that would work. It would break it, man. My heart is beating really fast, as you can imagine. Is it?

[Evan]

Oh, that's so exciting.

[CJ]

It's nerve wracking making a big purchase like that.

[Mike]

Almost the biggest besides a house.

[Evan]

Oh, my gosh, Mike. Now I'm looking at it and it looks even cooler.

[CJ]

Viper.

[Mike]

What?

[CJ]

Viper. Mike, this is the most anticipated because you bought it.

[Evan]

That's what I mean. He just.

[Mike]

It says sold. So like, basically, I think if I were to say I don't want it anymore, the thousand dollars would disappear. It's not fundable. I gotta go.

[Ken]

Yeah, bro, get out of here.

[CJ]

Go get that thing.

[Ken]

Go get that thing and drive it.

[CJ]

Back tomorrow a little bit.

[Ben]

Time to hop off flight to go get it.

[Mike]

I need to get a loan if.

[Ken]

Money Mike wants to.

[Mike]

Yeah, I'm. This is a genuine question. We're very financial podcast here. Like, is it in my best interest to get a loan?

[Ken]

No.

[CJ]

Well, how much money you got?

[Ben]

I mean, how much do you want to put down on it is the biggest question.

[CJ]

Depends. You got a lot of big purchases coming up. You got your wedding, you got your house remodel, you just bought a truck, was paid off. Right now, like to get a vehicle loan, it's around like six and a half percent. It is more in your favor to pay for it all. But if you do need that money to, like, do other things, you're better off getting a loan. And maybe you just use that loan.

[Ken]

For six months a little bit.

[CJ]

Six months. Just so you don't put yourself in a pickle and then you. You kill the loan six months, a year later.

[Mike]

That's what I should do, I think.

[CJ]

So let's say you took the 125 grand and you kept in a high yield interest savings account that you're going to get right now, like three and a half percent. So that's half of the six. So I mean, if that makes you feel any better. But generally, like, that's how I would decide whether I would do.

[Ken]

Yeah. If you can take that money and make more than 6%.

[Mike]

Right, whatever.

[CJ]

@ not much.

[Ken]

Risk. So, yeah, I mean, you could put it in a high yield savings account, and then you're making three and a half, four percent. It's like four. Then.

[CJ]

Essentially. Not in a pickle.

[Ken]

Then.

[Mike]

Essentially. So it cuts your rate in.

[CJ]

Half. Yeah, well, in a sense, like.

[Evan]

You would be doing it, but pull up your heart rate. I'm intrigued on.

[Mike]

That. Yeah, I am too. It's not like crazy crazy, but I can definitely feel my, like my. My armpits are.

[Evan]

Sweating. I love that feeling, dude. The feeling of just making an impulse expensive purchase. Oh, there's Nothing like.

[Mike]

It. 94 beats per minute.

[CJ]

Now. He's cool as a.

[Mike]

Cucumber. Yeah, that's pretty.

[CJ]

Chill. Not really. I guess.

[Mike]

That'S. That's like a little bit high for sitting, I.

[CJ]

Guess.

[Evan]

Sitting. What's your standard.

[Mike]

Resting? I do it really low, actually. I mean, like, that's what I.

[Evan]

Mean. 30.

[Ben]

Above. What's your.

[CJ]

Siege? I'm checking right now for.

[Ken]

Us. Congratulations.

[CJ]

Congratulations. My big.

[Ken]

Money. I'm so glad that we caught it on the podcast. That's. That's.

[Mike]

Sick. Maybe you guys know the feeling when you're like, I think this is the one. Yeah, the.

[Ken]

One. This is the.

[Mike]

One.

[CJ]

Yeah. No, I feel.

[Ken]

That. It's a great feeling, actually. And then you just like can't stop thinking about.

[Mike]

It. I. I don't think I'll ever stop. I.

[Ken]

Know. It's the best feeling ever, bro. I'm stoked for you.

[CJ]

Bro. Dude, what we need to do is obviously you should go get that thing. I think you should film picking it up. I think that obviously someone goes with to film you ride and drive.

[Evan]

That thing back, bring it straight to.

[Mike]

End. Super down. Super down. Yeah, I actually. Okay, so nth moto. I mean, I think I maybe mentioned this, but they. They only modify vipers and they build them like crazy, like 2800 horsepower and stuff like.

[Ken]

That. And they have rear wheel drive.

[Mike]

Cars. Messed up.

[Ken]

Dude. It's.

[CJ]

Crazy. I don't think they have traction control, do they? The one the older ones didn't.

[Ben]

Like the 90s and early 2000s, I don't think they have.

[Mike]

It. So, yeah, it's still a death trap, but just not quite as much. But I just wonder like if I. I would love to take it there and get something done. But I could see them being like, bro, if you're not trying to do 1800 to the wheels, get out of.

[Evan]

Here. They just want at Texas 2K the 300 or 3300 rear wheel horsepower. King Bro, who's driving a 3000 horsepower.

[CJ]

Car? How many cylinders is.

[Ken]

It?

[CJ]

Ten. It's a V10. That's.

[Ken]

Right. Is it actually aspirated? Yeah, it is. So not that those ones are those.

[Mike]

Supercharged. So the big turbo, I think usually twin turbo. The biggest flex is to have a viper ACR with twin turbos with rolling analog.

[CJ]

And. Mike, is that a T top? Is that a T top then? So it's just full hard top. The top doesn't remove.

[Evan]

Okay. Does it have side exit.

[Ben]

Exhaust? So what. What's your first mod going to be that.

[Mike]

Wang? Well, I was just going to say. Oh, yeah. So it doesn't. Well, you guys have seen it popped up here. It has everything I want besides the big wing. And you know I love big wings. Can't lie about.

[Ken]

That. So.

[Mike]

Good. So, yeah, I'll definitely be doing that. It's just a matter of when. But other than that, it's like I don't really. Well, I'll do wheels too. Wheels. Yeah, you're.

[Ken]

Right. All right. You can't. You can't have a bigger wing on your drift car.

[Mike]

That. No, that will be first. But then probably exhaust. You got to let that V10 arc.

[CJ]

Dude. This really is a special moment because you've been talking about wanting a Viper. Like your dream car has always been a Viper. And I think it's pretty. You know, the story behind it, as you already told earlier, is pretty.

[Mike]

Deep. Yeah. It hasn't been fully unwavered. Like there's been times that I'm like, this is never gonna happen. There's been times where I'm just like, I should just get a gtr. This I love Donna gtr. Like it'll be so much easier. There's so many more out there. Dream come true.

[CJ]

Mike. In a fast, fast car. This is your first fast.

[Mike]

Car. My 8.4 liter.

[Ken]

Dude. I can already see his face on the shifts.

[Mike]

Already. That's actually what's funny too is that they're. They're all just six speed manuals. So like I don't have any.

[CJ]

Fancy. It's a driver's car.

[Evan]

Man. Yeah, it is a driver's.

[Ken]

Car. That's pretty sweet. The.

[Mike]

Manual.

[Ken]

Yeah. Not. Not many like really fast cars like that are manual.

[CJ]

Anymore.

[Mike]

Yeah. Really. At.

[Ken]

All. It's kind of hard to come.

[Mike]

By. And if they, and if they are, they have like, you know, the ZR1 manual that had a seven speed. So it's kind of like a.

[Evan]

Newer. Yeah, yeah. Just your classic six.

[Mike]

Speed. I wonder if it rev matches. It's a 2013, so it's 12 year old.

[CJ]

Car. Doubt.

[Ben]

It. Might have been before they started doing.

[Ken]

That.

[Evan]

Yeah. Can you even get like a Lamborghini manual.

[CJ]

Anymore? No. Yeah, they stopped doing those after the Gallardos. They were pretty rare in the Gallardo even.

[Ben]

Honestly. Maybe some of those race car only ones like.

[CJ]

Tracks. No, they don't do.

[Evan]

This. Is it here yet? Dude, I'm so excited. Holy. I can't believe you just did that. I can't believe you just bought a Viper live on.

[Mike]

Air. I can't.

[Evan]

Either. Yo, Dalton. Dude, Mike just bought a.

[Mike]

Viper.

[Ben]

What?

[CJ]

Yeah. How sick is that.

[Ken]

Viper? Mike, I went to the bathroom for five.

[CJ]

Minutes.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Surprise. And pack your bag because you and Mike are hopping on a plane tonight at.

[Ben]

6. You guys are going to.

[Ken]

Ohio. Wait, wait, wait. We're going tonight? Yeah. You didn't have anything.

[CJ]

Planned? We're kidding. We're.

[Mike]

Kidding. I don't think we can get a flight that.

[CJ]

Early. But maybe this weekend, 5am tomorrow. Let me.

[Mike]

Edit. I need. I still need a walk around video of this car. And I still need a phone call from the.

[Ken]

Guy. Mike, you gotta kick that guy in the nuts. You gotta get them.

[CJ]

Down. Yeah. Get there, and then try to get 20 grand.

[Ken]

Off. You guys see that video that Nelk just dropped on Instagram where they. They go and they try and buy. Like, in this instance, it was a golf driver. And then he's practice swinging. He hits the driver on the ground, and it sparks. And he's like, oh, I didn't see this big scratch on this, man. I'm gonna need at least 50 bucks off. And the guy's like, you just hit.

[CJ]

It. You just hit.

[Ken]

It. He's like, oh, no, this. This was there. That wasn't me. It's pretty funny, though. You go there, freaking curb the wheels, and then you hop on. You're like, oh, the wheels are.

[Mike]

Curved. That would actually be pretty.

[Evan]

Fun. The alignment's off a little.

[Mike]

Bit. I could never do that with a straight.

[Ken]

Face. Yeah. It's just you and Dalton. Yeah. But you don't tell Dalton that you're doing this. And he's just like, that would.

[Mike]

Actually. That would make it if you didn't know. And you're like, dude, what are you.

[Ken]

Doing? Where is.

[Mike]

It? It's in Ohio. So however far that is from here, that's considered.

[Ken]

Midwest. Well, let me know when you make the purchase, and we'll go get.

[CJ]

It. Gosh, Mike, you are going to have a crazy fast car for the first time.

[Mike]

Ever. Yeah, it's going to be nuts. We kind.

[Ken]

Of.

[Mike]

That. I'll be bringing my truck to that one, right? We got a truck.

[Ken]

Show. You got to bring them.

[Evan]

Both. I feel like we're going to need friends to bring all sick when.

[Ken]

We mob all of our cars down. Yeah. What are the.

[Evan]

Dates? May.

[Ken]

17Th. May 17th. We have a car show. Last truck show at the Custom Offsets warehouse in Appleton, Wisconsin. Right outside Appleton, Wisconsin. Anyway, here's the address of it, here's the dates, here's the times. If you live Honestly, within five hours, 10 hours. We're driving, like, 10 hours.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah. Pull.

[Ken]

Up. I'm so excited, dude, it's going to be so.

[Evan]

Sick. Mike's new Viper will be.

[Ken]

There. We'll bring, obviously, all the cool cars and cool trucks that we got. Dalton's rolling up with his truck that he keeps hyping up and says, supposed to be pretty sick, Mike. It's going to be.

[Mike]

Viper. Yeah. I guess if you are. Even if you live really far away, you should probably pull.

[Ken]

Up. Yeah, I think it's going to be really sick. I'm.

[CJ]

Excited. Yeah, it's going to be. Yeah, definitely come. I think there's going to be a rowdy, rowdy.

[Ken]

Meet. We haven't had a car.

[Mike]

Show.

[Ken]

Yeah. Since, what.

[CJ]

2019. Yeah.

[Evan]

Really? When we did it store, we.

[Ken]

Just had the one in. What was that?

[Mike]

2019.

[CJ]

Right.

[Ken]

Probably. I had the Corvette. No. So it have been.

[Evan]

21.

[Mike]

21.

[Ken]

Yeah. Right after CO then still four years.

[Evan]

Ago. Tom's burnout pad in the back by the propane.

[Mike]

Tank. That wasn't legit. We had to tell everyone not to burn out so that only, like, five people would do it.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Cormorant. Are we going to have a legit burnout shut.

[Ken]

Down? I think we got to figure that.

[Evan]

Out. Be pretty.

[Mike]

Sick. Make it.

[Ken]

Happen. That'd be.

[Evan]

Sick. Feel like you got to toast a set of tires on that.

[Ken]

Thing. I mean, if you're doing a. If you're doing a meetup at custom offsets, the place that sells tires. Yeah. I feel like it only makes sense to have a spot to burn them off. Just. Yeah. Toast the.

[Evan]

Tires. Holy smokes. Yeah, that's. That's.

[Ken]

Just. And you could call it holy.

[Evan]

Smokes. Just good business right there is what it.

[Mike]

Is.

[Ken]

Yeah. So, yeah, save the date. Put it in the.

[Evan]

Calendar. I'm excited for it. Like, I'm actually. I'm excited to have, like, a cool car show. Like, Appleton has cool car culture. I hope other people come with cool.

[Ben]

Cars. Nice. It's, like, right between Minneapolis and Chicago, so you can potentially get, like, both of those, like, groups of people.

[Evan]

Too. And I called up all my Corvette.

[Ken]

Buddies. Yeah. Corvette rally coming.

[Evan]

Through. Those guys got it figured out. It was like a Tuesday afternoon. They were all eating barbecue, driving around their.

[CJ]

Corvettes. Yeah, it looked pretty.

[Ken]

Fun. That's true. They did have a good thing going.

[CJ]

There. Granted, we were on our way to the racetrack in our.

[Evan]

Cars. Yeah, that was probably better. More our speed, but, you know.

[Ken]

Still. That was so funny messing with those Corvette guys. It was so stereotypical, too. You run in tint on this thing? No. No front license plate. I.

[Mike]

See.

[Evan]

Yep. Not trying to get jammed up by the.

[Ken]

Law. Makes.

[Ben]

Sense. One of the dudes had, like, a. It was a dash cam or radar detector, and he was talking about how you had to wire it in a specific way by a certain guy, Otherwise it voids the.

[Evan]

Warranty. I need to find that guy, actually, because I'm sick of having my dash cam freaking with the cord all the way down through my.

[Ken]

Thing. You guys have radar detectors, all of you guys?

[CJ]

No.

[Ken]

Yeah. Does it help.

[CJ]

You? Yeah, it actually does. Like, I wouldn't have gotten my Last two tickets, if I would have had my radar detector in my G wagon, I just left it in my truck. And that was the problem. I went a whole year without getting a ticket, which is pretty.

[Mike]

Good. The radar. With the radar detector, there is such a thing as leaning on it too hard. You know, you can do that. You always expect it. Like, if it's not going off, there's not anybody looking at you. But for the most part, yeah, like seven times out of ten, it's saving.

[CJ]

You. Like if you get a good one going.

[Mike]

Off. Yeah, you.

[CJ]

Do. But yeah, you can't be speeding in stupid spots with it still. And then think you're not going to get caught.

[Mike]

Right? And think that it's not going to go off, like they already got you. But I think it's worth it. I tell everyone that anyone that likes to speed, if you don't like to speed, there's no point.

[Evan]

Obviously. But I just got it because it has a dash.

[Mike]

Cam. Yeah, yours is nice for.

[Evan]

That. Because I was driving one day and I was like at a four way stop and I just looked right, saw a shipping truck, looked left, started driving like, blew through the stop sign at 60 miles an hour. Full box truck.

[Ken]

Just. Did it have UPS on the.

[Evan]

Side? It may have. And it was not our boy Wade or any of our UPS cronies that we like. I figured that out. But anyway, literally, I. I don't know. I don't know if I would have, like, been okay after getting hit at 60 miles an hour.

[Ken]

By. Might have straightened you out.

[Evan]

Ryan. It might have. It might have. But it might have messed me up. And then so I got a dash cam that happened to come with a radar.

[CJ]

Detector. Because you would have been okay if you would have gotten hit with your dash cam.

[Evan]

On. No, the idea would have been that when I got hit, it would have made the lawsuit a little cleaner when I'm freaking unable to tell my story of why I got.

[Ken]

Hit. Dude, if you got T boned by a ups truck at 60, it was scary. You'd probably retire off of.

[Evan]

That. Well, I wouldn't want to do that. But I'm also not trying to. Like, you know, if I was unable to tell my story and then everyone goes, oh, idiot youtuber, run stop sign and get smoked. Even though that truck was supposed to be going 0 miles an hour because there was a stop sign there. You know, you just never.

[Ken]

Know. That's how that woman feels that Ken backed into in.

[CJ]

Vegas. Yeah. Can we.

[Evan]

Talk? He been calling.

[Ben]

You? No, I actually There have been a lot of calls that I've ignored because they call like, seven times, but no, I haven't gotten any.

[CJ]

California. That was so freaking. Can I tell the story from my mind? So we're on our way to go to the dunes to go film the start cart in the dunes. And I hit a workout in the morning. I'm feeling good. I got up. I was up earlier in these guys because these guys are out late, and I eat, like, a good breakfast. I'm, like, ready to.

[Ken]

Go. It was the night that I got locked out of my hotel room. Well, that's. I'm glad that you had a good night and felt.

[Mike]

Good. Anyways, first.

[CJ]

Night. So, you know, you always have the choice. It's like you have two vehicles. Who do you hop in with? I normally look at the driver and who's riding like, okay, does this person. Has this person showered? Who's driving? Is this a reckless driver? I'm going to hop in with Ken. Safe bet he's in the rental car. He's not going to do anything too crazy. So I hop in. I think I was even eating some eggs, enjoying some. Some coffee, and next thing I know, there's this, like, semi. It was his fault. There's a semi trying to drive through, like, Las Vegas, like, cut into where our hotel is, and the dude went too far. So then he had to, like.

[Ken]

Just taking a left at it.

[Mike]

Yeah. So just imagine the F1 trillion.

[CJ]

Trying to do anything super long. He basically miscalculated it and then had to cut it super sharp. And his trailer basically was super tight in our lane, and it was going to hit us, and he was not slowing down at all. So Ken throws this thing in reverse and starts backing up. And this guy keeps creeping forward, and Ken's backing up, backing up. And next thing you know, this freaking girl behind us, she, like, stopped backing up, probably because the person behind her stopped backing up. And basically, Ken just backs into this. This.

[Ben]

Lady. It was a light tap, I would say it was. It wasn't.

[CJ]

Like. I didn't even really know we got an accident. I thought you just slammed on the brake super hard. That's what it felt like was like. Ken slammed on the brake super hard, but everyone was like, oh, freaking out. I'm like.

[Ken]

What?

[Ben]

What? Everyone.

[Mike]

Else. Weird to even call.

[Ben]

It. Everyone else has to just be like, the most animated version of themselves when anything happens. Everyone's screaming, hooting and.

[Ken]

Hollering. Oh, yeah, dude. You know, we bust out the cameras. Yeah, we. We. Everyone in the Car hops out. They're filming, like, got an.

[CJ]

Accident. I started questioning. I was like, was it worse than it was? Because I think Evan was almost trying to just make you feel bad. He's like, that was a hard.

[Ken]

Hit. Like, he was trying to say.

[CJ]

It was a hard.

[Ben]

Hit. Okay. So the only damage was the screws from her license plate put a little imprint into the bumper on the rental car. And then I think when I pulled away, like, her. Her license plate, like, bent just a tiny little bit. And she's like, looking at it. She was like, FaceTiming her mom. Her mom was like, what? What's wrong? Your car looks fine. And it was like, at end of the day, nothing happened. But it was just.

[CJ]

Like. But she was being difficult and wanted your insurance all.

[Ben]

This. Well, it was because people kept coming out and with the camera, and then they kept like. Other people in our group kept, like, going back, like, to look at it in film. And then she starts questioning stuff. And it was just like everyone in our group just kind of made the situation 10.

[CJ]

Times. Imagine you're sitting there. She looked like she was leaving work, and someone just backs into you when you're sitting at a stoplight. And then eight people hop out of the thing, just filming you laughing, like.

[Ben]

What? That was probably the best case scenario of that whole situation. Otherwise that truck would have torn off the front end of that rental.

[CJ]

Car. Yeah, dude, that guy. What the frick was that guy.

[Ben]

Doing? He should, like, he just. That was just a street he should not have been on because it's a narrow street. That's like a one way.

[Evan]

Almost. I have been a.

[Mike]

Guy. Yeah. I mean, multiple.

[Evan]

Times. RVs, trailers, big rigs. When you guys are like, let's take her through the Chick Fil a drive through. And I'm in a 38 foot RV, everybody's in the back wasted, and I'm pulling a 32 foot trailer. You guys are, I need McDonald's. And I'm so. I'm like, all right. And then before you know it, you're in jam. You know, you're in a jama. So, like, I feel for the guy. Maybe. He definitely made a wrong.

[Ben]

Call. Like, he could have just.

[Evan]

Gone. I've never done.

[Ben]

That. He could have just gone straight, though. And he would have completely avoided that whole, like, tight neighborhood.

[Ken]

Situation. Ken knows the roads better than a local. It probably just made it worse. But we hopped out and Gavin is like, you know, starts moving this mooz in this chick, trying to get her number. Gavin is smoothing her like, should I get her number? And I'm like. I'm like.

[Evan]

Try. She's like, what, for the accident? No, for later.

[Ken]

Baby. So Gavin smooshing this chick, and she's like, hold on. Who am I exchanging information with here? This random guy that opt out or the guy that's actually.

[Evan]

Driving? Oh, my.

[Ben]

God.

[Ken]

Gosh. And then Gavin got a little jealous because then, like, we hopped back in the car, and then Ken was back there, and they were exchanging information, and then Gavin was like, all right, what are we even doing here? And then he hopped out. Gavin hopped.

[CJ]

Out. He was.

[Ken]

Mad. And then he goes, yeah, he was pretty fired up. He goes up to the chick and goes, what are we even doing here? Your car is fine. Got all this because Ken was getting their number. That's what it.

[Mike]

Was.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Wow. Yeah, I love Vegas for that. Like, just treating everyone like their.

[CJ]

NPCs. Yeah, everyone's just a.

[Mike]

Meme. Yeah. There's an NPC if they see what you're doing. Like, they just see it, and it's out their head the next.

[CJ]

Second. Hopefully in the big city. Yeah, you can do.

[Evan]

That. Except for that one girl telling stories about this car that just threw in reverse, ramped into her, and then eight guys. Clown.

[Mike]

Car. Believe.

[Ken]

It. It was like, a clown.

[Mike]

Car. This.

[Ken]

One. They were all film.

[CJ]

Filmers.

[Ben]

Apparently. This one redneck was this really sweaty.

[Evan]

Guy. Kept trying to get my number.

[Ken]

And then he came out with just a total.

[Ben]

Dick. Do you want to talk about one other little surprise, or is that saving for.

[Evan]

Later? The one that I had shipped up here? Yeah, no, that's a surprise for.

[Ben]

Later.

[Mike]

Okay. Oh, I'm glad that you just said, like, said it like that, because I caught wind that you were having Ken ship something, and I'm like, I already know too.

[CJ]

Much. Is it a.

[Evan]

Car?

[Ben]

Not. I'm not disclosing.

[Evan]

That. Do you know what it.

[Ben]

Is? I actually.

[Evan]

Don'T.

[Ben]

They. The person I connected you with kept it a secret, so.

[Evan]

You'Re. Good job.

[CJ]

Archie. So how big is.

[Mike]

It? Not only will Ken not be disclosing it, he is unable.

[Ben]

To. I did ask for slightly more information, and I just decided, you know what? It's better if he just deals with this guy directly. So I'm. I'm.

[Ken]

Disconnected. You are really growing, Ken. You are really growing as a.

[CJ]

Person, not spoiling video.

[Ken]

Bits. Yeah. A year ago, you couldn't have even helped yourself. Like, you couldn't have stopped yourself if you wanted to. Ken was the king of just ruining surprises. And look at you. The personal growth is actually.

[Ben]

Crazy. You know, sometimes you just gotta realize, you know, none of my business to be interfering in this, even after.

[Mike]

Ryan made it your business. You know, one day you'll just.

[CJ]

Wake up and realize, maybe I don't want to be a little weasel. Weasel, rat, whatever you want to call yourself.

[Ken]

Buddy. Yeah, Ken, that dude. Like, as soon as we were in my office talking about something, you look out like down the hallway and you see Ken looking through his.

[Evan]

Glass. Got like a, like.

[Mike]

Lean. Well, lean. That's what's funny, is like, he maybe spoiled some at some point, but then there's so many. We literally make jokes about how so many times he's out of the loop. So he's like, where do I stand? You know, where really do I stand? Do I tell people? Do I not? Do I act like I know when I really don't.

[Ben]

Know? There's a fine line between a need to know basis and just a knowing basis. And that line is very.

[Ken]

Fine. It's very blurry. Heard on Ken's end, this dude doesn't know what we're doing.

[Mike]

Ever. It's. It's such a funny.

[Ken]

Feeling. We got so used to not telling Ken or filling him in on any surprises. Well, in that just true. All the information, the important stuff, that even on stuff, he's a part of.

[Mike]

Everything. Yeah. It's such a weird feeling when you like, accidentally find out. Let's say you guys are planning a video bit completely around me. And if I, like, accidentally find out. Oh, you can't un. You can't put the toothpaste just back in the.

[CJ]

Tube. Imagine your job, but not knowing what you are going to be doing the next day. Like, imagine Ken's family eating dinner. Well, Ken, what do you got going on tomorrow? No.

[Mike]

Clue. Or like.

[CJ]

You'Re. No clue? No clue. Oh, that's how you'd say.

[Evan]

It. You're not doing.

[Ben]

It. I know what I'm doing from 8. 8 till.

[CJ]

11:30. Beyond that, we're gonna be doing something. I know that's for sure. I just don't know what we're gonna be.

[Ben]

Doing. My suspicion, it.

[Ken]

Is. It is crazy. Like, that is actually how we operate. The less you know, the.

[Ben]

Better. To a.

[Evan]

Point. What.

[Ben]

Point? Then there's just like straight up just not telling people.

[Ken]

Anything. And it's just like, dude, that's.

[Ben]

One thing that'd be nice to know that then finding out.

[Ken]

After. Yeah, but you find it out.

[Evan]

Eventually. Occasionally. Like, I'll miss a meeting too, and I'll hear about something. I'm like, wait, what? When did we decide.

[CJ]

This?

[Ken]

Yeah. Things. Things happen.

[Evan]

Fast. They.

[Mike]

Do. There's pros and cons to it, but I like, strive off of that feeling. I'm sure Sydney hates it, but it's like, all you'd have to tell me is like, we're going on a road trip. I know we have to plan and stuff like that. Or like, whatever. We're. We're going to do something cool. What are you doing there? I don't know, but I'm.

[Evan]

Excited.

[Ken]

Yeah. I mean, if you don't need to.

[Evan]

Know. And.

[Mike]

You. That is.

[Ken]

Excitement. Best ever. It's like you're a little.

[Mike]

Kid.

[Ken]

Yeah. In your parents care and you know that they're just taking care of.

[CJ]

You. Yeah. It's. It's. It's all going to be for your own.

[Mike]

Good.

[CJ]

Right. In one way or another. It might put you in a kind of weird situation at times, but in the long run, it's all for the greater good. It's like, honestly, like, the cheap car challenge, like, or even when Evan trolled me by getting in that fake fight, I honestly felt really good about it at the end. I was like, wow, that was like. That was really exciting. Like, I. I got got. I got got. Like, it felt good to be pranked. Like, I don't know. I don't get pranked very much. And with the cheap car challenge, like, I was mad when we get pranked, but deep down, it felt a little good. I was like, man, like, this is kind of exciting. Like, I don't know. I didn't know that was going to happen. Like, you go to bed, you're like, man, I hope no one mess with our car tonight. No one mess with it. You go to bed the next night, man, I hope no one mess with our car tonight. You wake up, some shit just happened to you. Like, you're like mad, but then you're like, oh, this is like, also so exciting. Like, you know.

[Ken]

Like. And then know, like, okay, now I get to get my.

[CJ]

Revenge. It gives you an opportunity now. Like, nice. Now it opens the.

[Ken]

Floodgates. That was pretty much the entire time someone would mess with us. And then Ken would just be like, what if we did this? Just something outland. Like, Ken was going aggressive on.

[CJ]

Some of the let's start their car on.

[Ken]

Fire. I think he might have said that at some point. I'm like, I'm like, oh, Ken. I forget that Ken, like, doesn't have the best touch on these situations where he's.

[CJ]

Just. He's.

[Ben]

Getting. Normally I'm the one being pranks.

[Ken]

You know, he's like, all right, how do we get our revenge? What if we duct tape the throttle so as soon as they floor it, it gets stuck wide.

[Ben]

Open? No, one of them would. One of them was going to be steal the. The head unit out of the minivan because you guys were obsessed with.

[CJ]

The scene that would have been funny. Got in there and just kicked it and broke. Why didn't no one think of.

[Ken]

That? We were gonna do it, but we. What we did in. In return, I was like, oh, they're gonna be so mad. The CD would actually put them over where it wouldn't be worth it because then they wouldn't get over it. And in hindsight, they didn't. In hindsight, they didn't get over what we did. So we should have just done that as well because then it would have been like the cherry on.

[CJ]

Top. Yeah. I mean, I had ideas of what I was going to do as well, but I mean, you guys did it and then, you know, anyway. You guys just have to watch video. I mean, we're hyping this shit.

[Evan]

Up.

[CJ]

Yeah. It's still probably another two weeks out from the first episode of it.

[Ken]

Airing. But also this week, we're not posting a video this week because we're editing the Cheap Car.

[CJ]

Challenge. There's just so much footage that you wouldn't have time to edit in the normal time frame that we.

[Ken]

Have. And we have four editors. But so don't. Don't act like we're like going light on.

[Mike]

It. Like, what is the upside to.

[Ken]

That? It's gonna be a.

[Mike]

Banger. It's just gonna. And they'll be how.

[Ken]

Long? I mean, over an.

[Ben]

Hour. I know. We were over 700 gigabytes of just.

[Ken]

Raw. It ended up about a terabyte.

[Ben]

Because what we had GoPro in every car. Sony. Sony camera in every car. And then how many other cameras do we have.

[Ken]

Rolling? So many.

[Evan]

Bro. Do we want to talk about a little addition? Careful with your mic.

[Ben]

Here. But I've been watching.

[Mike]

It. Things pretty sturdy. I mean, I would love to talk about our.

[CJ]

Little. What's that thing weigh, like 30 pounds?

[Ben]

20.

[CJ]

Holy. That's.

[Ken]

Probably. It's probably 30. It's probably.

[CJ]

30. So that's a hand carved, hand chiseled, I should say marble sculpture. It's a Greek God. The Greek God Zeus. Because he likes thunder. Is it thunder or lightning? And he's holding a lightning.

[Mike]

Bolt. He doesn't just like It. He controls.

[CJ]

It. Yeah. And as you guys know, we use lightning bolts in a lot of our designs and stuff. And then he's holding a life wide open sign, and he's got some goggles on his head. And it was sent to us. That's actually just a miniature version one of the, like, 6 foot 4, life size 1 that was sent to us by our buddies Garrett, Clay, and Mac, who help us with our merchandise. But, yeah, we'd been working with them for like a year, and so they wanted to do something nice. But anyways, the real one weighs 2600.

[Mike]

Pounds. I got to double down on that over a ton. It's literally hand carved out of a giant marble brick. We have a literal Greek God statue in the pine.

[CJ]

Bay. We'll pop some pictures and stuff up of it, but the thing was so heavy and we didn't know what it was. We had a shipment of our new MUK boots that Ben is wearing right now. You guys can get a cboystv.com they're freaking super, super awesome because, I mean, you can wear them winter, you can wear them in the spring. They're obviously water resistant, and, I mean, they're just super popular. There's tons of different brands of of muck boots, but we think ours are the.

[Ben]

Best. Like, two years.

[CJ]

Developing. We did. We spent a lot of time developing them. So anyways, they were sent to us in a shipping container, and they put their sculpture that they gifted us in the shipping container as well. And we're like, hey, we got a gift in there for you guys. You got to, like, unwrap it this and that. And we initially thought it was a sculpture of Ken. We thought they a statue of Ken. We're like, no freaking way. They had a statue made of Ken. And then we realized maybe that isn't Ken once we got to looking at it a little.

[Evan]

Closer. But it is kind of.

[Mike]

Ken. It does the beard closer to Ken than anyone else, I.

[Ken]

Think. Did you guys see the pictures of this thing as it.

[Mike]

Came? Yeah, that was really.

[Ken]

Cool. Like when it was a straight up.

[Mike]

Rock. So of course, we had a million questions, and he's like, yeah, there's a factory in China right next to the.

[Evan]

Mountain.

[Ben]

Really? A factory or it's like an.

[Mike]

Open air pit and they just chop blocks and then they bring them down to the dudes who just literally hand carve them. I still can't wrap my head around.

[Ken]

That. Yeah, I would love to see, like, a time.

[Mike]

Lapse. Yeah. Of it. That would be the most satisfying.

[Evan]

Like the little guys that make the houses on a mud and stuff. Yeah. Time lapse.

[Ken]

Videos. I think that's fake.

[Mike]

Though. Yeah. Well.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Really? Yeah. I think it came out that that was.

[CJ]

Fake. They got.

[Ken]

Exposed. But no, I thought that many.

[Mike]

Excavators. I've literally seen TikTok lives of a dude making bricks out of mud. Pretty boring. But he's on TikTok Live. So I was thinking, like, should be on TikTok.

[Evan]

Live.

[Mike]

Bang. They should. It's a commission where they sent them this design and then he just has to chisel it out. So it's like he probably just has work and more work and more work. So. I'd love to get another.

[Ken]

Statue. It's actually insane, the level of detail that they can put into a marble.

[CJ]

Stock.

[Ken]

Yeah. It makes no sense to me. That's why, like, I feel like I gotta see it. It is so hard for me to wrap my mind around it not being like machine.

[Evan]

Made. I honestly. When everyone's like, it's marble, it's marble, it's real. I was like, there's no way. Like, there's no way it's.

[Mike]

Real. I didn't even believe it either because.

[Evan]

I. You know art, when you look at it in like the frickin. I went to the place in New York where there's art. I think not at the museum.

[Ken]

Ever.

[Evan]

Smithsonian. Yes. There's. There's art stuff there, but you can't touch it in like ours. You know, you can walk right up to and touch it and like move stuff around. So it was like kind of cool to.

[CJ]

Be. The thing's gonna outlive us. It's so solid and it weighs so much that you're not gonna ever move it. One of our grandkids is going to be basically handed this thing and they're like, what do I do with this? You know, like moving it and then where do you even put it? It's.

[Ben]

Huge. Just trying to get that thing in place. We had seven guys and we were struggling. Yeah, that thing is.

[CJ]

Heavy. Kind of hurt my shoulder actually trying to move.

[Mike]

It.

[Evan]

Dude. My freaking grandpa was a hoarder. He built all these weird machines. He took all these good dirt bikes and made them useless and all these street bikes and made them dumb. Handed them down to me and then now I gotta take care of this 2600 pound station to you said it looks like one of his.

[Ken]

Buddies.

[CJ]

Yeah. Hopefully we can leave him off with like some good stuff. So that way it counters like. Yeah, I got the frickin this giant statue, but it's. It's hopefully still cool, but it's going to be.

[Ken]

This. And then the sign that's hanging up on the wall actually right behind us. Right here in between the two shipping.

[CJ]

Containers.

[Ken]

Yeah. That just about bankrupt.

[CJ]

Us. Things not going anywhere. So speaking of. Of us moving that thing. Holy, was that thing heavy. But we've been working out hard. I should say some of us have been working out hard. Kenjamin, I am so proud of you. You've been going ham and it's just cool to see how you feeling. Because I am sore, dude. Like, we've been seriously going hard in the gym for this 100 day.

[Ben]

Challenge. After the workout we did last Friday, I. I, like, didn't start feeling good until like, late yesterday and.

[CJ]

Today.

[Ken]

Dude. A week.

[Ben]

Yeah. I was.

[CJ]

Rough. Big Ken's hitting the hot tub every night. Like, I just hear the thing just open up. Ken just elegantly climbing in that thing. Pink Panther music starts.

[Ken]

Playing. You could go and get a.

[Ben]

Massage. I did go to the chiropractor earlier this week and that same.

[Mike]

Thing.

[Ben]

Right.

[Ken]

Immensely. Ken, I think you should go and get a rub and tug that.

[Mike]

Is out of left.

[CJ]

Field. Would you do it.

[Ben]

Ken?

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah. Would you.

[CJ]

Not? Well, I have a girlfriend, so no, I wouldn't. Like. So if you were getting a massage and is by some Asian masseuse and she starts working her way down and starts grabbing your. Your junk, are you. What are you gonna do? Just.

[Evan]

Nothing. I.

[CJ]

Mean. Yeah, just see where it.

[Ben]

Goes. We can take.

[Mike]

This. Yeah, but, like, that doesn't actually happen.

[CJ]

Though. I think it.

[Ken]

Does. No, it.

[CJ]

Does. I know for a fact it.

[Mike]

Does. I thought that was just a fairy.

[Ben]

Tale. No, we got a buddy.

[CJ]

That. Plenty of friends who have stories like.

[Ben]

That. Well, he was saying it's like there's like, certain ones and you gotta.

[CJ]

Like.

[Ben]

Yeah. They don't all do it a certain way.

[CJ]

And. Yeah.

[Ken]

Our. Our one. Our one buddy.

[Evan]

Called. He's been a robin.

[CJ]

Dog.

[Ken]

Yeah. I shouldn't say that. I.

[Evan]

Shouldn'T.

[Ken]

What? I.

[CJ]

Should.

[Evan]

Wow. He's been.

[Ken]

There. Yeah. He wanted to bring Ken when we were at.

[CJ]

His. Can you say this? Yeah. Now you've just exposed.

[Evan]

It. I'm gonna believe all the things out of who it is, but I can't believe.

[Ben]

That. I know. Was saying he got.

[Evan]

One. Oh, my God, another.

[Ben]

Name. Let's just bleep that one too. But he was saying he got him in, like.

[Ken]

Europe. No, I think that's just called part of culture.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Okay. That's just part of the culture. So back to the working out now, though.

[Ken]

Ken.

[CJ]

So are you liking.

[Ken]

It?

[CJ]

What. What's your thoughts? How are you feeling? Do you think you'll continue on after this challenge is.

[Ben]

Done? Yeah, Yeah, I. I definitely feel like I am definitely, like, improving on where I started at, and I. I think, yeah, like, I'll. I'm gonna steal that snap card and continue.

[CJ]

Going. Are you. Are you starting to enjoy it a little.

[Ben]

Bit? Yeah, it's. Or it's not. Like, I'm just completely dead when we're done with it. Yeah, I'm finally, like, getting some better weights and all that, and it's.

[Ken]

Like, you are putting up way more.

[CJ]

Weight. Ken's strong. Yeah, strong like an ox, but.

[Ben]

It'S like, I'm not, like, just completely dead like, the first couple times, whereas, like, I can just.

[CJ]

Moving. The thing is, is, like, the more you do it, you start to get more hooked on it, and I think you start to enjoy it more. And if you were to stop, you'll be like, dang, like, I want to get back in there. And when you hit that point, that's when you're, I think, in a really good spot, because then you'll get in there more and more and only see more and more benefits from it. But, I mean, I even read the comments, and people are comment a lot about, like, man, Big Ken is really, like, slimmed down. Like, he's looking great. And it's true, man. It really is. So, I mean, it's. It's just. It's cool to.

[Mike]

See. It's been fun. I think it's, like, just so awesome and will be really awesome to see us at the end, and then hopefully we just continue that. But, yeah, like, to your point, I never like the gym. I still don't love it, but you'd like it more the more you go, the more you like it. And then also, like, I ate, like, a lot of fried food, just, like, burgers and fries and this and that. My cholesterol was really high, actually. Really high for how, like, not overweight I was. But when you get done working out, like, you don't want to eat burgers and fries. You want to eat, like, fruits and vegetables. Because why would you want to, like. And some people work to offset that. That's fine, too. But, like, yeah, it's just, like, why would you want to eat like shit after you worked hard? Yeah, to offset that, which seems really obvious. Like, it seems super obvious, but, like, it's. It's cool. Actually feeling.

[CJ]

That. Yeah, you're feeling good. So you don't want to put shit in your body and not feel as good. That's the thing. Once you start, like, truly starting to feel better and better and better, it makes it harder to like, eat like shit and like stay up super later, you know, do things that make you feel like shit because, like, you're just like, man, like, I felt so good and I was enjoying myself when I felt a lot.

[Ken]

Better. 100 day challenge is going good.

[Mike]

Though. I like.

[CJ]

It. Yeah, Been going ham.

[Mike]

Man. How many days do we have.

[CJ]

Left? I don't.

[Ken]

Know. 50. We're probably. Probably about halfway.

[Ben]

Through. Yeah, right around.

[Ken]

Half. Yeah, everyone's been hitting it pretty hard except for one guy, the short one. Yeah. I think Evans prides himself on. On actually not stepping foot in a.

[Ben]

Gym. His training regimen's about to start. Like now all the snow is starting to melt.

[Mike]

And.

[Ben]

Right. Finally get his dirt bike out.

[Mike]

There. Yep. And if we ever get our Dozer.

[Ken]

Back. What is the status of our.

[Evan]

Dozer? You know, I was wondering on that. I made the call and got all the stuff fixed. We did some aftermarket parts, some OEM.

[Ken]

Parts. So we bought a dozer for $20,000 from our buddy Rich, who called me and was like, dude, this is my old Dozer. It's a great deal. You got to buy it. It just needs a little bit of work. And I was like, well, how much work we talking? He was like, couple grand. And I was like, all right, I take your word. You wouldn't do us wrong. We get.

[Evan]

It. The track is loosening up. We can't even really drive it because we were worried about it. So I'm like, all right. And I sent it to a local dealer because none of us know how to work on a Dozer. Neither do the wrenches. And to be fair, I told them, go through this and just tell me what needs to be done on it. I didn't say, you know, all right, give me the cheap fix. I wanted to know what was wrong with it so we don't have to pay 1200 bucks in another month to ship it back and get it fixed. So they went through the entire undercarriage, the bad blades, all the leaking hydraulics, the missing parts, and basically came up with a bill that totals 43, 570 dollars. 43.

[Mike]

Grand. You hear a number like that and you're like, don't tell me that.

[Ben]

On a twenty thousand dollar.

[Evan]

Machine. Well, there's no such thing as a free dog Or a cheap Dozer, I guess. And so I went. I went.

[CJ]

Through.

[Evan]

And. I mean, there was a lot of things that we didn't need, Such as the rollover protection. It was nine grand. I guess we just can't roll the Dozer now. You know, stuff like that. But basically, what I got us down to. I don't have the. The final bill here, but it was more in, like, the.

[CJ]

17,000.

[Evan]

Okay. And that's a mix that's not putting new tracks on it, which they recommended, because if we put on the new tracks, you have to get new sprockets and do all these different things. So we got basically the bare minimum to make it.

[Ken]

Work. Well, there we go. That's all that.

[Evan]

Matters. So that's where our Dozer.

[Ben]

Is. It's still.

[Mike]

Getting. Okay. I figured that.

[Evan]

But. But I have wondered. I'm like, huh? I hope that thing comes.

[Ben]

Soon. I. I forgot. We've known.

[Mike]

That. Pretty excited for it to dry up and get warm. It was 65 degrees today. We will be motoing soon or off roading or whatever. The track's gonna get some revamp. We have a Dozer. We have a skid steer. It's got a Harley rake. We just got, like, 8 inches of snow the other day, so that kind of threw a loop. But that's how Minnesota springs.

[Ken]

Are. Yeah, it's pretty whack. We got more snow last week than we did all.

[Mike]

Winter. Yeah. Wet, heavy snow. Yeah. That's taking, like, too long to.

[CJ]

Melt. It's all melting today, though. I bet you the ice will be off the lake this.

[Evan]

Weekend. I was gonna ask when Sunday is gonna go.

[CJ]

Off. Sunday, dude, I think.

[Ben]

Sunday. Let me check my ice report.

[Ken]

Here. We putting the jet skis.

[Ben]

In. We almost have to. I. So I did try and, like, walk out on the ice last weekend, and I made it about a foot, and I fell. No, I made it one step, and I fell right.

[Ken]

There. What are you doing walking out on.

[CJ]

The. Tell you what he was doing, he was breaking in his new bar at his.

[Ben]

Boathouse. I. I wanted to go take a look at how it looked from the water. And I thought I could still walk out there, but I.

[Ken]

Couldn'T. So what'd you.

[Evan]

Do? How deep it.

[Ben]

Was? You know, ankle.

[Ken]

Deep. Oh, I felt.

[Mike]

It. Fell.

[Ben]

Through. Yeah, I just made it one. Like, my foot went down and just went straight through.

[Ken]

It. So it was one.

[Evan]

Step. Maybe that was just snow and not.

[Mike]

Ice. He didn't know about the.

[Ken]

Slush. Nobody told Ken about the slush. I Forgot about that.

[Mike]

Meme. That. That meme stems from just all of us filming outside in the mud, snow, slush, and we just wear, like, skate shoes and Janowski's and Air Force ones and dunks, and we just never.

[Ken]

Learn. Yeah, that's why you guys got to wear muck boots like I've been.

[Mike]

Doing. That is actually Ben was the first one to get those hook boots, the muck boots. And we love them. And they actually are very functional because if you're wearing them on a seaboard's TV film day or whatever you're doing, you're gonna be covered. As long as you're not knee deep in water, you're.

[Ken]

Covered. It's true. They're actually the.

[Mike]

Best. You can even do a kickflip in.

[Ken]

Them. If you can.

[Ben]

Kickflip. I can't even.

[Ken]

Skate. Well, Ken, you might be able to if you put these.

[Evan]

Boots. Are you wearing Janowskis right.

[Ken]

Now? I.

[Mike]

Am. It's a lifestyle.

[Ben]

Product. I love the slip ons. Slip ons are the best shoes you can.

[Mike]

Buy. You heard it here.

[Evan]

First. There you.

[CJ]

Go. Okay, who wants to tie their.

[Mike]

Shoes? I used to have a pair of Velcro Janowski, so that was fun. People really roast you if you wear velcro shoes. For good reason. But I thought it was.

[Ken]

Stylish. That's a.

[CJ]

Wrap. All right, well, thanks, guys. Thank you for listening. We'll be back next week. Go to cboystv.com pick yourself up some muk boots, and we'll see you guys next.

[Mike]

Week.
