Welcome back to another podcast by the Life Wide Open fellas. Why did I say it like that?
B
I don't know if anybody has ever referred to.
A
Yeah, we're the Sea Boys on the.
B
Other channel over here with the Life Wide Open fellas.
A
This is actually our 50th podcast. No way. Yeah way. So, I mean, like, it's over the hill. Wait, also, I mean, quick question right into it is over the hill 50 or 40?
C
I feel like over the hill would be 54.
A
Oh, okay. That's.
D
Well, that.
C
That's 52.
A
Yeah, I guess you're like.
C
That's one year, you know, of posting.
A
Wait, what?
D
No, no, over the hill. It's like a statement about age.
A
It's 10.
C
I thought you were talking about podcast. No, they always say if you do 10 podcasts, then you're like, actually doing podcasts because most podcasts don't last 10.
A
Yeah.
C
So maybe. I thought you were.
A
No, you. We just. I was talking about age and I just. I remember.
B
I remember two different pages.
A
There's been. I've been to a couple different birthday parties. Where? Over the hill. It's a 40 over the hill. Like, my dad's 40th birthday was an over the hill party. And I was like, eh, well, I'd say 50. Yeah, it just seems too young. And short, man, at that point, he seemed really young to be over the hill. I know that's like, technically the top, but I'm 50 to me is that.
B
Life expectancies are getting longer and longer, so, like, they just keep bumping it up.
A
Yeah.
B
I heard the other day that somebody projected that by, like, at our age right now, we could live to like 140.
C
That's awesome.
D
What?
B
Yeah, I don't know. It definitely was not a reputable, like, a credible source.
D
Is this, like, when you gotta be.
C
Doing all the pulling out all the stops?
D
There's no way I'm making it to 140, dude.
A
And do you.
D
There's no.
A
I don't think I want to. Because we would be on the cusp of, like, where we'd have to, like, pull out all the stops to get to even past 100. Where, like, maybe people another 50 years. 140 might be still oldest frick. But like, a hundred might not be. But, like, by the time if we hit 100, we'd be crusty as hell, dude.
C
Well, I'm already on the right track. I've been pulling out all the stops lately.
A
Yeah, you have some cryotherapy?
C
No, it's it's hyperbaric.
A
Sorry, Hyperbaric.
C
That too.
B
Yeah. How is that going? And explain what it is exactly.
A
Yeah. And genuine opinion on it.
D
Yeah.
C
I'm gonna give my genuine. So hyperbaric chamber. Joe Rogan's probably talked about this. I don't know. It's basically. It's literally a chamber. I'll pop it up. I took a video of it today. It's like five seconds, but you'll get the gist of it. So if you're watching on video, you can watch that. But you hop in this. This tube. It's like this glass tube, and it's like lock shot. It's basically like a cellar. When you walk in there, I feel like I'm in Stranger Things or like, some kind of show where they're like.
D
Yeah, it sounds like they're gonna freeze you.
C
Creating people in, like, you know, like, with superpowers. Because you walk in, it's, like, kind of dark, and there's just people quiet. You're in this, like, blue.
A
Yeah. Never. Based on, like, pictures I've seen, it doesn't look like a friendly atmosphere, per se.
C
No, it's fine. But yeah. Yeah, if you're classy but claustrophobic person, you would freak out. Like, my mom could not do it. I was telling her about it. So, anyways, hyperbaric chamber, it's basically a pressurized.
A
They.
C
They increase the pressure and increase oxygen in there. Whereas, like. So it'll be 100% oxygen inside that chamber, which is obviously good for your health because the more oxygen is probably better for your brain, your heart, and.
D
You'Re just breathing it normal.
B
Like, you're just sitting. Yeah.
C
You're not really supposed to huff or anything like that. You know, like, breathe heavy. Hold up.
B
You're wearing a. Like a special suit.
C
You can't. No, it's not really a special suit. It's just, like, all cotton uniform. They don't want you. I don't know why.
B
Okay. Okay.
C
It's basically just a gown.
B
I wasn't sure if you were just in this, like, glass tube, naked.
C
Everyone's looking at me. I'm like, come on. So if you were outside right now, or probably even in here, the. It's 21 oxygen outside.
A
Yeah.
C
So you're not breathing in pure oxygen. Where they're inside that chamber. They pump it in and increase pressure. I'm not sure why the pressure helps.
B
But force it in.
D
I don't know.
C
I'm not entirely sure. But, you know, when you're increasing your Oxygen intake, It goes through your blood.
D
Your.
C
Your blood cells carry it to all the different parts of your body, which can help and be good for, like, healing. It's. It's supposed to help for, like, concussions. They didn't know if it would help for me because it's like more of a post concussion. Like, my problem is like, post. But like, if you were like someone new that had it.
A
Yeah.
C
Apparently they say that they have seen benefits. Don't quote. I mean, I. I haven't seen any benefits, but I'm a whole different situation.
B
How many have you done?
C
7.
B
When do they usually start seeing any kind of.
C
The dude, literally, like, has been taught, like, the doctor there, like, he's like, curious about me because I'm more of like a different case. And he always talks to me. He's like, how? How? Like, have you seen anything? Yada, yada. I'm like, I hate to tell you this.
A
Yeah.
B
It's like, is it tough to just.
C
Be like, nah, no, I'm not. And he just kind of told me, like, like, it's kind of. It's expensive to do.
A
That was my next question.
C
So it costs. So in order to do it 10 times, I've paid $2,000.
A
Okay.
C
Which to me is expensive. And on top of that, I have to drive an hour to go do it. Yeah. So I have to drive an hour, then I have to change, get in the tube, sit in the tube for an hour, and then get out of it, change, drive back. So it's like a three and a half hour deal for me, which kind of also interrupts my whole day. But no, it hasn't been helping me at all. But the other people that go there, besides for concussion people are like older people. And I. I think it's just ultimately maybe better for your house. Yeah, I mean, like, I'm sure it's.
A
Good for you, you know, injury.
C
Our grandpa, actually, he suffered like, some burns on his back. His house burnt down last November and his whole back, his whole back was like, third or maybe was it fourth? There's a couple fourths. Like, it was really, really bad. And he didn't want to do surgeries. Like, he's just stubborn that way. But also he made the right choice.
B
Like, would not do skin grafts, wouldn't do anything. And they said if you don't do skin grafts, your skin will not grow back and you're guaranteed to get infection. Because he wanted to go. He wanted to leave the hospital and not come back. And they were like, we can't let you down. And he was like, I'm not doing that. I'm figuring out another way.
C
Ben was in the hospital with him. Yeah, it was super uncomfortable. I was at the house and he was sitting in the hospital, and Ben was like, just texting me, and I was like, what's going on? What's going on? He's like, I don't know. He's kind of like, grandpa's arguing with them.
B
They want to operate, but they want.
C
To help him, and he's not letting anyone touch him. And he's like, it's so awkward right now.
B
He was like. They were like, they. They sent four different doctors in and they were like, if you leave, you will get infected and you need skin grafts. Your skin will not grow back. And he was like, I don't care.
C
No, he.
B
Just leave it.
C
He does not fuck with traditional doctors.
A
I get.
C
He just doesn't, you know?
B
Right.
A
So I get that there's a lot.
C
Of people like that, though.
B
No, I shouldn't. I shouldn't say. He said. He was saying, I don't care. He was saying, you're wrong. I guarantee it will grow back and I'm going to be okay.
A
Okay.
B
But he was like, I should say. He was saying, I don't care what you say. I'm going to do what I want to do. So, like, which is. I mean, I wasn't surprised, but I was just like, watching four different doctors come in and. And they were in, like, disbelief. I can't. I'm sure nobody ever told him that, like, told a doctor that, like, third degree burns on their back, that they're leaving tonight. So anyway, he. He left and then he got his own hyperbaric chamber.
C
He didn't get a hyper. No, he didn't get a ch. So I don't think his is quite as. I would just imagine it's not quite to the degree of the ones I'm going to like. His was like. Like a tent, some kind of oxygen tent. So basically, I think you could pop it up in your own house. And I'm not sure exactly how it worked, but it was like. I think it was like $10,000, which. Yeah, I've seen it.
B
It's.
C
It's basically. It's obviously not the same as that cham.
D
But.
C
But it has. His back has now healed. He. It has been one year. His. His back is healed. I think there's maybe like a couple. Obviously there's some scars and stuff, but, like, they want to like, do skin Grass off of his legs, his butt, like all these spots and put them on his, like, you know, pretty. A very serious surgery. And he wouldn't let him do it because he thought he could, you know, he basically heal naturally and obviously doing a couple of the other things. There's other things that he was doing to help that, but which ultimately proved them all wrong and saved him probably.
D
You know, a lot of pain.
C
A lot of pain. And also like, surgery is pretty abrasive. I know I'm not a doctor, but.
A
Right.
C
If you don't. You typically don't want to get surgery.
D
If you don't have to.
C
If you don't have to. Yeah. Surgery is kind of like that last step. So it's like, especially older, they knock you out.
B
Yeah. Yeah, it is.
A
It's an interesting, like, well, stigma around. Not really a surgery, just stuck. So it's like when you get injured. I'm not like always bummed if I get injured, but I'm bummed if I have to get surgery. You know, you're like, okay, they put you in a cast or whatever, you limp around or this and that. But if you have to get surgery, it's this whole other ordeal. But I'm just surprised that if they would have been like, you should get skin grafts, but like kind of one of those.
C
You need to go to the mate. They wanted to like, fly him there. That.
B
Send them to the burn unit.
A
Wow.
B
And helicopter him there. And he wanted to go home. We're going to helicopter you to the burn unit. And they said, no, no, I'm going to drive home.
D
Was he not. Was he just chilling through the pain or what?
B
I. Because like, I was in a lot of tolerance of.
C
No, he was more. More than most and he had a lot of pride.
B
Yeah. He wasn't.
D
Rides a hell of a drug, that's for sure.
C
No, he's doing it and he was right. So you got to give it to him. No, I'm. I'm very happy that it went that way.
B
Obviously, that's just to give a little situation, though.
A
Yeah.
B
Not saying that everyone that has that should follow that or like take any of the advice.
C
It's different for everyone with every situation. But so anyways, he had one of those tents and he said that he thought that really helped his back, like it and just, you know, obviously if you're have an injured part on your body and you increase oxygen flow to it, it's going to help.
D
Yeah, makes sense.
C
You know, oxygen is good.
B
Another thing too, is he Had Covid like two weeks prior to his house burning down. And like at post Covid, you have like extreme, extreme brain fog. I don't know if you guys remember that or if you had that too, but it's just like one of the posts.
A
I got it all the time.
C
I was going to say, yeah, we're all.
B
His. His like was super bad, pretty noticeable. And he said that that also helped him with the brain fog and like kind of just like his cognitive.
C
Oh yeah, that was another thing that people go there if they recently had Covid. They did mention that to me.
D
Interesting.
C
Yeah.
A
But moral of the story is, well, let's say we're all rolling up on 80 and we're slowing down a lot. CJ is going to be like, I'm just. Man, you guys are like, what? We'll figure it out when we get old and CJ's just leaps and bounds ahead of us.
D
I have actually started to probably have something to do with Ken, but my health has become. I've become much more thankful for it each time. I am not sick. It's kind of like the same on a really mini scale when you get like a really stuffy nose and you can't breathe out of it and then you can finally start to breathe out of it and you're like, oh my gosh, this is the greatest feeling ever. And then you just start taking it for granted and then you can't breathe through your nose again. You're like, this sucks.
A
Yeah.
D
Just trying to like the classic just trying to be thankful for my health 24 7. Because dude, if you don't, if you.
C
Don'T got your health, you really don't have a whole lot. Like that's probably your number one thing.
A
It's weird because I'm like, I get more consciously thankful of it when people around me are sick. I'm like, hahaha, you know, someone's hurt or sick, but you're just like, dang. Yeah. It makes you think. Even if someone legitimately has a stuffy nose, you're like, thank God I don't have a stuffy nose.
C
Yeah, so.
A
So Ryan, what's your shirt say? I see you got a new meme shirt on. It has a golf cart. I like that.
D
I do.
A
I actually asked you that because I now I can read it.
C
I only go golfing to practice drunk driving. Damn, that's a mint card on there.
A
That is a mint.
B
That's a quality cart.
A
That's a proper Yamaha, I think.
D
Yeah, dude, I've got Like a whole stack in my locker down there of good.
A
I like shirts.
D
And for those of you I their keep. Keep your eye out for them on there.
A
And for those of you wondering, that is a joke. Yeah.
D
Yeah, it's definitely a joke. Don't.
C
Yeah, you can't get a DUI on a golf course.
A
Speaking of, I guess new merch. We have a merch shop coming up this Thursday. So that's the 27th Thursday at 7, going live. We got a bunch of hunting stuff, a bunch of Halloween, I don't know, fall type theme stuff. And we're also dope giveaway, giving away a 1000 sportsman camo one. Like a utilitarian four wheeler. Yeah. This is I guess in two day. If you're watching this right now or listening, you now know what the giveaway is before everyone else.
C
Yeah. One of the benefits of listening to the podcast. But this is kind of like the one time a year that we do like it's not all hunting theme, so if you're not a hunter, it doesn't matter. But there's like a. A portion of this drop that is very hunting themed. Obviously if you look at Mike's outfit right now, and I'm not a hunter, but I think it's like some of the coolest hunting gear. Like all these guys are big hunters.
B
Mike's about to climb into the deer stand.
C
Yeah.
B
Also if you order it right after the drop or super early, we'll have it to you by deer opener.
A
Correct. Yeah, we got a. Shaking his boots.
B
Yeah, well, we. We're gonna go. Hopefully.
A
Hopefully. But yeah, it's gonna be cool. It is really interesting. I'm sure there'll be some comments. I mean, not that this really matters, but there'll be some comments about, oh, you guys don't hunt. You guys don't really fish. We don't spend a lot of our time doing that. We're still somewhat passionate about it. Somewhat. Some of us more than others. But we can't do that stuff on YouTube. Like YouTube just doesn't like it. And we talked about this.
C
Yeah.
D
A few podcasts ago. So it really sucks. That's why we can't show that.
C
Honestly, I think like a pheasant hunting video would be lit and also even like a deer hunt or even like you could go on some crazy hunts. It would be extremely entertaining. Like it would be very much so worth the time because it would be such an awesome story and video and also a lot of fun too.
D
But we could go hunting. Sasquatch.
B
I Don't even.
C
I don't think we'd get anything, but get anything.
B
Yeah, dude, that would, that'd be a really sweet video to go like elk hunting or moose hunting in Alaska or something like that. I was actually just put ourselves balls deep in it. I was talking to a guy at the bar the other day that loves fishing and he was asking us all about like, oh, have you ever been to Alaska? Like you got to go to Alaska and go salmon fishing and halibut fishing and like fly fishing in the river. And I was thinking, well, we could probably do that for a video. Right? Like you do.
C
You can do fishing.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that would be a fun video. Go up to Alaska. I bet we have like a stuff a lot of people listening from Alaska.
D
Fishing plug.
B
Yeah, that'd be a.
A
That'd be a good. That would be definitely like something. The peak place to go.
D
I think Mike and I did it in Michigan and we like went out on like a big.
A
It was yacht boat.
D
Like a big 40 foot boat.
A
So fun.
D
Caught like 30 pound salmon.
A
Yeah. And I mean you're out there, it felt like you're in the ocean, you're in the great lake. But like it was, that was so fun. And so like, I mean, I know we've got invited out, you know, we're busy. It's hard to make stuff like that happen. Especially when you don't know, planning a fishing trip. Like we don't know exactly how that's going to pan out. Like we know how a riding trip is probably going to pan out. But anyways, someone invited to do it us to do it in the Hamptons.
C
Oh, oh yeah. We're kind of.
A
Yeah. Yeah.
B
That would kind of be like 50% fishing and then just 50% living the new York gym lifestyle.
C
So buddy, that also eating at the finest restaurants.
A
Who knows what goes on in the Hamptons?
D
Really?
B
I have no idea. It seems like New York gym.
A
I saw this like someone just like a, A meme or a rant or something. Someone was like, dude, east coast people are built different, think different, act different. Everyone in the Midwest is kind of on the same page. And then we meet people like out west that are kind of the same, but then like, you know, Boston people in New York people like, they're, they're very different from us.
B
Dude.
D
I've.
B
I've never really had that much desire to travel or go and see like different places. No, not even to the. Yeah to the east, but like Europe or like South America or like anything like that every time somebody mentions studying abroad or something, I'm like, ah, that just doesn't really sound that fun. But now, I don't know what flipped, but maybe it's just like, wanting to experience different cultures, to be more, like, educated on different people, you know, I think we're so. Well, I'm so used to just, like, living in our small little cormorant and kind of experiencing, like, the same thing. And obviously we've traveled, but, like, we really haven't traveled outside the United States or really outside. Like, just going west.
D
West of the Mississippi.
B
Yeah, we've never gone east at all. Haven't been able to travel outside the country. But, like, even experiencing different places, like, to our neighbors up north in Canada, I don't know. That'd be fun.
D
So excited that we can go back to Canada.
A
Yeah.
D
To revel soak. I'm stoked for that.
B
But I think we should go to Europe. Like, that'd be a fun trip. Like, the whole crew went to Europe.
C
What would be like, a good spot to go to?
A
Mean, like, Greece, Paris, London, Venice.
B
Somebody needs to buy a Porsche and we can go to Germany.
D
That seems like a big chem thing to do.
A
It kind of does, doesn't it?
D
Like, Ken, delivery of your Porsche.
A
I. I think I'd feel pretty comfortable traveling, like, a way abroad like that with you guys. But I think back in the day, it was a desire. But, dude, going into a different culture where a lot of people speak a different language, some speak English, that it was intimidating. First and foremost, it was intimidating. So much so that I wouldn't do it. But now we've been through a lot.
D
Where'd you translate?
B
What?
A
I didn't go anywhere. I just, like, I remember one time this. No, I'm saying, what have I automatic. No, I didn't go anywhere because it was such an intimidating thing. Like, I mean, even my grandpa, he's been in Norway a billion times, and he's like, you should go. And I'm like, it's intimidating. Like, most of them don't speak English. Some do. Yeah, I know, but, like, you got to find the ones that speak your own language just to, like, accomplish something. It's intimidating.
B
Couldn't you guys see Mike backpacking around Europe?
D
Yeah, dude, absolutely.
A
I wasn't, like, that close to doing it, but at one point, it was like, kind of in that transition of not knowing what I was going to do and not making into the guard. I was like, I almost signed up to go be, like, a ski bum. You know, work at. In Switzerland, though.
C
Oh, wow. Whoa.
B
Yeah. And then he looked up what's their main language? He saw Swiss or what?
C
Yeah. Swedish.
D
German. German.
A
German.
D
I don't know, dude. I think you would have figured it out. That would have been cool.
C
I could totally.
A
And that's the beautiful thing about all of this. Like, there's no reason. There's no true reason to be intimidated because you would figure it out.
C
I mean, we got to go some more places this winter. I love that.
B
We gotta just Oktoberfest, Germany.
C
I think we already missed that.
B
But next year.
C
Yeah, that'd be lit.
D
Yeah, we'll plan it.
C
It seems like those videos are always pretty lit.
B
Everyone's in a good mood and, like, excited. And that's the thing of, like, experiencing something new. You never know what you're gonna get into.
A
Nope. It's very true.
B
Especially with our group. Yeah, exactly.
D
Ev, where do you want to go?
A
Amsterdam. Amsterdam.
B
We know why Ev wants to go to Amsterdam. The hookers.
C
Yeah, that'd be a bonus. Oh, I thought he was doing it for the legal. It's legal marijuana, I think.
A
You don't have to call them.
C
That's what I was going to say. That's what I was going to say. I was like. I mean, dude, Amsterdam is a place.
B
That has the red light district, right?
D
Yeah.
B
Where, like, the girls are just, like, in the window. That's crazy, dude. Europe's a different place. I think mushrooms are legal in. In Amsterdam, too.
C
Really?
A
Yeah. I'm assuming a lot of things are.
D
Then back to the U.S. i want to trigger somebody right now.
C
What.
D
What do you guys think is the worst state? Where's this the worst place to live?
C
California.
D
You're saying California. Okay.
B
I was going to go with Seattle, Washington.
C
Oh, never mind.
B
Yeah, Seattle, Washington.
C
I just remembered. Holy.
B
I take that back.
D
I was just going to attack someone. Just go, like, Arkansas. I know.
B
Arkansas.
D
Sick you've been Arkansas.
B
You ever seen Ozarks?
D
That's Missouri.
B
No, shoot.
A
I'm pretty sure it's Missouri.
B
Yeah, I think you might be right.
C
I feel like Arkansas would probably be like people like us.
D
Yeah.
A
I was just going to say.
D
I would not. I would not suggest. I'm going to go a little farther west. Like Dickinson, North Dakota, being like, you got to go to Dickinson. You got to see it. Also trigger all the people in Dickinson.
B
But, like, I don't think anyone in Dickinson is like, you gotta come to Dickinson.
A
Yeah, true. That'd be a good prank. Tell someone how good Dickinson is. And send them there. Yeah, there's tons of stuff to do.
B
I mean, that's the other thing, too, about traveling and going places. Even if it sucks, we come home and we just have something to talk about, how much it sucks. And, like, going to Seattle. I'm happy that we went to Seattle. The fact that I didn't die or get mugged. That place was every single corner that we turned. But now that we're home to laugh about it, it's funny because I've talked to so many people about how shitty Seattle is, and most of the time they agree, but if they don't, I'm very passionate to change their mind.
C
One of my buddies, Ben. Ben from another Ben that. From high school. I actually saw him last weekend. And the last time I had spoke to him was almost like eight months prior to now. Eight months ago. And he told me he was thinking about moving. I go where? He goes.
D
Yeah.
C
I was thinking about Seattle. I just, like, bit my tongue. Was just like.
D
But also Seattle part of it. And it was fucking sweet. Like, not downtown Seattle, bad news bears. But we were legitimately. We landed in seattle and went 45 minutes that way.
B
Yeah. But we also came in on a private jet and we took.
C
I think we were at a different spot then in Seattle, though. You're not.
B
You're right. I'm just thinking of, like, the actual.
C
Sounds like saying Fargo versus, like, Cormorant. Yeah. Anyway, so. So he said that to me and I just bit my tongue. I was like, you know, And I was. I was kind of like, man, maybe he's, like, changed. And then I saw him last weekend. It just doesn't seem like the type of place he like. I see him last weekend and I saw that he went on a trip just recently to Seattle. I go, hey, how was your trip to Seattle? He goes, man, that place is a shit over. I was like, so you're not moving there? And he goes, no way. That place has got to be the worst city in the world.
A
He.
C
He was on the same page. I go, dude, I literally bit my tongue when you told me that.
B
Whatever.
C
The last time we talked. And it was really funny because then we both bonded over. I was telling him stories, and he was basically the same exact story. Homeless drug doers. You're, like, outnumbered by the homeless over there.
B
But anyways, he recently went there, though.
C
Yeah, Literally like two weeks ago.
B
Because we went kind of like post Covid.
A
Right.
B
When it was, you know, shitty.
D
Right. Yeah.
B
I was wondering if it got any.
C
Better, but no, well, get that place under control.
B
Anyways, we should do a tour. Before we move on from this topic, we should do a tour east this year.
D
I would love to. I would love to take.
B
I don't know where we go for a beat.
A
Nothing.
D
Dude, I feel like there's some pretty cool places we could go east. We could hit the Carolinas. You could go. I'd like to see New York. Probably not gonna drive the 40 foot RV with a 40 foot trailer through.
C
We go up to Kramer.
D
But it'd be cool to see New York. Like, it'd be cool to see like some different type of stuff and probably end up doing some different things. And then we can just end her back down in Florida and then stay in Florida forever.
B
That's not a bad idea.
D
Not forever.
A
Not forever. I think the worst part is I've. I have like some weird bucket list to go to Maine.
D
But yeah, Maine would be sweet.
A
Why? Why I gotta be way over there? Because Maine is like sort of Midwest vibes, sort of up vibes. And they have the ocean, they get snow, they have terrain. It's just. It's an interesting state to me.
D
I think it's cool.
A
Way up. It's like the northern version of Florida. I mean, horrible comparison, but, you know, it's just like. Just because they're so different. But I want to go to Maine. But like, it's so out of the way, there's no reason to drive to Maine. Yeah. But along the lines of our great state of Minnesota, dude, Young Gravy has been killing it lately. And he. If you guys didn't know this, I didn't know for a while, but then when I found it out, I was obviously stoked because it's always fun to hear creators and musicians and whatnot from your state. And Young Gravy is like from Rochester, Minnesota.
D
Yeah.
A
Just been killing it lately. I mean, among many artists. But like, I mean, he's banging Addison Raymond. Yeah. Song after song after song.
C
I don't. That's what I saw.
B
I was like, they're dating, dude.
A
Yeah, I think that's a thing about social.
B
I think that was just like a social play.
C
They dating. They were kissing and stuff.
A
I mean, still, I think it's a publicity stunt.
D
I hate the Tik Tok people. And the, the. The media always goes when two people are together, like Young Gravy and Addison Ray's mom, they go, they're dating.
C
They were dating.
D
No, man, they're no, they're. They're.
A
No.
D
They're hanging out.
E
Maybe not even.
C
Yeah, I think they were dating.
B
Dude, cj, what is your proof other.
C
Than walk up to her and go, I'm pretty sure.
B
Why?
C
Why?
D
Is going on a date dating? Or what? Do you qualify as dating? Does he go, hey, Addison, Ray's mom, will you be my girlfriend? Like that.
C
They were, like, doing, like. Like interviews and stuff together.
D
That's what I mean, publicity. They're just. Maybe they were hooking up. Maybe they're giving a little smooch at the VMAs or wherever the frick they were. But I just don't like the term dating. It makes it way too dramatic.
B
The thing about Young Gravy is he has. That's.
A
Attack you there.
C
He.
B
He has made himself the MILF hunter of the Internet, and now he just has that title.
A
He's locked in. He's locked.
C
Yeah, he's.
B
He's locked in. But, like, every interview I've ever seen with him or like, any video on. On Instagram or Tik Tok that's gone viral, is him making some kind of mob comment. So now I wonder. I wonder if he. If that's how he's been his thing or now he's just locked into it.
D
I think it has been for a long time.
A
Yeah.
D
Like, at least the past couple years he's been in the moms, but it's definitely peaked now.
A
Maybe it's a Midwest thing, I don't know. But, dude, whenever. When anyone else is around him, like, as far as guys or competition don't stand a chance, he's like 6 5, got a super low voice, and then just like all the blonde hair, and he's like, I'm a rapper. Like, how could any mom say no? That's your type, huh, Mike? Did I mention that I wanted to fuck Young Gravy?
B
I don't know. That's kind of how it came. That's kind of how it was coming off.
C
I don't know of a whole lot of moms, but it depends what group of moms are hanging out.
B
Okay, all right, all right, picture this. The complete opposite. Shorter, dark hair, no beard, no beard, but a little bit of facial hair. An absolute hog. And his name is Evan.
C
I was going to say. You kind of sound like you're describing Evan.
B
And what is he rap?
A
Does he rap?
B
Well, he can't rap, but he can ride wheels. He can ride basically anything that he puts his leg over. Evan loves moms, too. All right, so winners coming up. And I don't know why I was just Thinking about taking a snowmobile trip this winter. And then I started reflecting on all the other snowmobile trips that we've taken over the years and kind of how it's just like evolved into. I don't want to say the only reason we take snowmobile trips is to film videos, but basically over the last couple winters it has been. So I was thinking, man, what is it like to even go on a trip without filming it? And I was thinking about the time in West Yellowstone and you rented that sled from.
A
I thought we talked about this.
C
No, we haven't never told this story on the podcast.
A
I don't think we got stoned.
B
Yeah, I don't think we ever have.
C
I totally forgot about it until now. The last time I heard this story was when it was happening and we were in the college house.
B
This was a wild thing in the fact that we never like picked up the camera to explain what was happening.
D
It was a different time.
B
It was a different time and we were.
A
I think I. Well, I didn't film any of it because I was terrified.
B
So now we have the podcast to reflect on it. But anyway, okay, just, just, I don't.
C
Know, start, start from, start from the.
B
Top of renting the sled.
A
So we go to West Yellowstone all the time to ride sleds. That's where we always go. We didn't have sleds. So you want a cheap rental, right? You want the cheapest possible. If you go out there for a three day trip and rent an 800, you're. You're a thousand in just on rental. So we like hooked up with high mark rentals.
D
I can only drop their name then.
A
I dropped the name only because there's new owners now and there's, there's nothing wrong with the company. It's a great rental company. So like.
C
Well, did you get screwed over to them?
D
To be honest, it's up for debate.
C
Tell the story.
A
Tell us mostly them. And then I just got tangled up in it, but rented a sled from them. They said, you know, bring it back at six and it was pretty loose because they gave it. I got insurance, but I think they gave it to us for free. You know, rent like, I don't know, or maybe it was like something cheap. But it was like definitely a deal.
C
Okay, so you kind of like, we're.
A
We'Re filming a video here and they got it.
C
We're gonna give you a little promo.
B
Yeah, yeah, we did.
A
In the beginning of the video we walked up and we're at high Mark, look at all these sleds.
C
This is great.
A
It was all good.
C
So they were kind of already giving.
A
And then we rode one day, and they were like, wow, how many days you ride? I'm like, three. But we're gonna go to this expo because that was when Ben races snow bike in West Yellowstone, which is also pretty cool. Dropped it off too late. Like, we were all kind of, like, it was getting dark, but we were like, well, it's our last day. You need to get your rental back, Micah. And I was like, I think they'll understand.
B
Yeah, you have to have it back to them by, like, before they all.
A
Kick it and basically brought it back, pulled it into their fence area with all the other sleds. Took the key out, but put it in the dash, you know, so it wasn't at least in there. But that's all I did. And then I texted the owner or whoever was helping me, and I said, drop the sled off. Sorry for having it late. I definitely felt bad even at that point. Like, it didn't. Nothing felt off, but I felt bad for bringing it back late. But other than that, things seem fine. You'd think they'd have cameras, at least one camera out front watching their $100,000 worth of sleds just in the front yard. And then fast forward to.
D
Yeah, a little backstory on this is whenever we would go on a snowmobiling trip, basically whenever we got to the edge of Fargo, which is the city nearest us. Michael would not have service for the next days until he got back because he had Sprint, some WI fi at.
A
The hotel, and that's it. But you can even really get calls on WI Fi. I don't know before.
D
So he basically was. Cell phone list.
C
They were trying to get a hold.
A
Of you, get home, get some calls. He goes, where's my sled?
C
I'm sure they thought you ran off with it. Just totally.
A
They probably.
B
Yeah. And then you weren't answering. Where are you calling? Yeah. They're like, this dude just took it.
A
Yeah. And I said, I'm back home in Fargo. He goes, that's a problem. Where's my sled? You take it with you? And I was, like, so confused, you know, didn't even know what to say. And I was just like, dude, no.
B
Did we accidentally load up the rest?
A
Yeah. I'm like, wait, Sorry. This is. Got a. Where is your sled? That's what I'm wondering. Where's the sled? And you didn't drop it off? Yeah, I Dropped it off. I swear I dropped it off. You know, getting a little panicky. And I was like, I swear I pulled it in. I really apologize for bringing it late. I apologize for not, like, hiding the keys better. Or tracking someone down in person or something. And they were just pressing me and pressing me. And then I'm like, okay, well, we got insurance on it. Did it get stolen? I don't know. We're talking to the police. And I'm like, okay, good.
B
Yeah. And anyone else ever. Did anyone else ever hit you up, like police or.
A
No, no police, no nothing. So then I said, at this point, I'm like, I don't know what else to tell you, but I don't have your snowmobile, and I didn't do anything with your snowmobile besides bring it back to your property. And then he's like, oh, talking to the police. I'm like, good.
D
Figure it out.
C
Good.
A
We'll get this.
C
They're being real dicks to you. Yeah.
A
And because I was. It was a true misunderstand. Standing. And basically someone that night, since it was like an expo weekend, there's a big event going on. Someone must have drunkenly that night wandered in there. Take somehow, you know, started how many?
C
I know, like in the front.
A
Yeah. I'd say there was about 20. And then the back, there's probably 30.
C
And only yours got taken.
D
But the keys were out of the other ones.
A
Yeah. And the keys must have been nowhere to be seen. But then the fact that he goes up to that one and, like, somehow finds the keys because everyone.
C
Are you sure you didn't leave that shit in the ignition, Mike?
A
I couldn't tell you for sure. For sure. But. So basically someone stole it. I don't know if that. I don't know if it happened. No, because we have a. We have video footage of me dropping it off too. So I sent him that too.
B
There was a bar right next to it too.
A
Like.
B
Yeah, they were neighbors with the local, like, hooligans bar.
A
So basically, someone stole it, but they found it piled up at the bottom of one of the popular riding mountain.
C
You know, like probably ghost road, that thing.
A
Something like that.
B
It was like out in the woods.
A
Yeah.
B
So somebody stole it and then just drove the woods.
C
Or they took it for a little hit it, and then in the day when piled it.
D
True.
A
And the way I found that out was like I called again and was like, hey.
D
Because they never reach back out.
C
They weren't.
D
And Mike is like calling and being like, yo, did we find the sled yet. Like, do I got to pay you still?
A
And I was like, I'll still pay the deductible. Like, I feel horrible about this. And then the dude. Before I even preface all that, the dude just goes, whoever answered the phone goes, oh, see, but you're the kid.
D
Who stole the sled.
A
Crashed the sled at the bottom of two, tops. And I go, nope, nope, that. Not me. I mean, I'm the dude. Yeah, I'm who you think I am, but I'm not. I didn't do what you thought I did. And so then I kind of found. I was like, someone stole it and crashed at the bottom of two, tops. What on planet Earth? And how did I get tangled up in this? And why aren't the police involved? And why am I getting, like, kind of pegged for this?
C
Hey, Mike, you should call them back this year and say, hey, Micah, think I could? See, boys, think I should borrow another sled. It'll be in the video. So, like, maybe we could exchange that for no payment. Fuck off.
A
It's. No. There's different owners now, but it's like, it's always been a really popular rental company in West Yellowstone. And nothing bad about them because they always have the cool sleds. That's why we went there in the first place. But it was a giant miscommunication. Like, what are the odds that. Yeah, like, that I rent a sled off of a. Maybe a good word from. From us and someone else. And then, well. Oh, yeah. And then Sam.
C
Yeah.
B
And then. And then one of my. Well, actually, a bunch of my buddies went out the next week. Like, the week after. They were asking, where should we rent? And I was like, oh, hi, Mark. Rental. No, no, they didn't ask me that. They didn ask me that. They just watched the video, and then they saw us promoting that, and then they go to Highmark Rentals, rent a bunch of sleds, and then they go, hey, yeah, C Boy sent us. And the guy was like, all right. Those guys, they owe me money. He crashed my sled. All this shit. And then they come back, and then I was talking, hey, how was the trip? And they were like, yo, you guys really did the dirty. And I'm like, no, they think that, but it's just funny. I bet a bunch of people went and rented because we promoted a couple times. That wasn't the first time that we'd worked with them. And then they were just like, no, Those kids, they're like, what?
D
Man, that was a mess. That Was just one of those. One of those mistakes you make being, like 19.
A
Yeah.
D
You know, going out there by yourself and making deals and I mean, also, honestly, there really wasn't much of a mistake really, where you went wrong.
C
That sounds like something that could happen.
A
It's just loud.
D
Exactly.
A
Yeah. Yeah. Just a small lack of thinking in the now.
D
Yeah.
A
You know, there's always a lot going on in our lives, and it. It kind of the. Takes the edge off of thinking in the now.
D
The one part that got a little bit cloudy in the story is that you had rented it for a few days, and then we were going to stay for this expo, the snowmobile meet thing. And then we decided, screw that. We're tired. We're going home. So we to this guy, looks like we didn't bring the sled back and then dip town a day early. And then the entire day while we were driving home, he's call trying to figure out where we are, where his sled is. Micah's phone is going straight to voicemail. So he had a whole day.
B
Totally.
D
I can see the. The issue in it.
A
Classic cripe situation, man.
B
The rental market is a. Is a slippery, greasy slope. Like, can you imagine renting out a Lamborghini or like these exotic car rental places. I follow one in Vegas called royalty exotics, and they got to be the biggest because they have an insane amount of cars. But it seems like a car is getting totaled once a week.
D
Oh, my gosh.
B
Like, total. Total. And like sto.
A
One crash.
B
Like Huracan sto. So like 400, $500,000 cars.
C
Like, I'm sure idiots are renting them that have never. I mean, it could happen to anyone. But high horsepower car. And you're also in Vegas traffic. It really doesn't sound that much fun.
B
Well, no, you can go and hit Hoover dam and a bunch of different places around. And they have to kill it. Like the fleet. Yeah, they do.
C
Oh, yeah.
B
And it's not cheap. Well, actually, I. I heard the owner talking about. So just hurricane Evo. He said they'll rent out about 45 times a month.
A
Wow.
D
Damn.
A
So they're getting like more than once a day?
B
Yeah, I rent it twice.
C
And you pay for the car payment on it?
A
Yeah, that's what I've actually, one thing I have heard about exotic rentals in particular is that the insurance. I mean, this is not that surprising, but the insurance costs more than the payment of the car and more than, like, you know, oil changes and stuff.
B
The guy said that he's so afraid to make a.
A
Make a claim because they'll just drop.
B
That he'll just self. And he just mostly just self insures all these crashes because, yeah, he said if he were to make a claim, $500,000 STO crash. He was like, it would be an absolute nightmare. So he has to pay to fix it.
C
500 racks out of his pocket.
A
Well, I mean, I guess that would be a. Replace it cost.
B
He was like, it is, like, so disgusting how much. I already pay in insurance, and I don't even get to use it.
A
Terrified to make a claim.
D
I so messed up.
A
Yeah.
D
So also think of, like, being the guy that rented the car. And you're like, all right, honey, going to Vegas this week. And she's like, all right, be careful. She's worried about, like, him going to the strip club or, like, betting the farm at the. At the casino. And he calls and goes, hey, honey. And she's like, hey, how's Vegas? And he's like, oh, not so good. I crashed a car. Oh, no, that's not good. Yeah, it's a 500, 000 car. Like, what. How do you. How do you.
C
I'm sure they're off the hook.
B
They're probably off the hook.
C
Yeah. The most part. Really?
D
You think?
C
Yeah, dude, I'm sure you sign a thing or you pay the.
D
Well, actually, I mean, not that they're on the hook for the whole 500k, but, man, that's got to be an expensive deductible.
C
Like the deductible insurance would have to. Yeah, I don't know.
A
I don't.
D
Yeah, I don't know how that works.
A
Legitimate question. How does Turo work? Turo. It's like, that's a bad deal.
C
You don't want to do that.
A
So that's what I've always thought.
B
Might get so many cars you could. You don't even know if one of them.
A
And I'm not asking that question because I legitimately want to. I've always looked at that and never looked into it and been like, that.
C
Seems so you can just rent someone car. So, like, you basically, I think, rent it and then leave it at a spot and you can rent. I've seen this one video anyways, and some dude had rented his. The other guy's car on Turo, and he took it, and the guy was tracking it, and he found it at a shop. He brought it back to his shop and was taking all the good parts off and then putting like. So he would take, like, an OEM Bumper off and then put like a cheap ebay abs like crappy plastic one on and then repaint it and redo it right in the like. So he'd do mediocre work and then sell the OEM stuff. Wow. And they caught him like, on video.
D
That is a wild chop shop.
C
It's a whole nother version of chop shop.
B
Exactly. I bet that guy was doing that with. With rental cars too. From like airport.
C
And you do a Turok out, your car is going to get so messed up. Yeah.
B
You can't have any personal connection.
C
They're gonna fill a drink, then popping it. Whatever. No Canada.
B
They'll probably eat really hot wings in it, so.
A
And obviously you guys are respectful, so.
D
Dude. Well, yeah. Okay, so Ken and I can. Are considered to be respectful people. Maybe. And we rented a Tesla in Salt Lake City and we honed that thing. I mean, obviously they're fairly tough cars, but we honed that thing the entire four days that we had it.
B
But you Turoed it.
D
Yeah, we turoed it.
B
Because I know mostly most of the time when they do a Tesla rental, they can like detune it and.
D
Oh, no, this baby powered. We went up like the canyons. It was still early, like spring, so some of the roads were closed, but, like, nobody was on them. So you like ripping up to these ski resorts and it was just like open roads. Holland. So fun.
B
Another thing that the Vegas guy was saying is that they curb rash so many wheels.
A
I bet that's just.
B
Again, he started his own wheel company and has just like a. An entire warehouse full of huracan wheels. Wow.
C
Just gets them fixed. You guys. A guy fix them and then probably. Yeah, but like, yeah, I mean, it's not easy driving those cars, especially if you've never driven a lowered vehicle before. It'd be so freaking easy to tear the lip off.
D
And you're in a different city and you probably were up till 4am drinking the night before, like. And you know, it's a rental. All bad things. Definitely wouldn't rent mine out, that's for sure.
A
No, I don't think so either. That's why I was confused. I've heard like a couple videos where people like, just organically mention it. Like, yeah, I was renting my car out on Turo. I'm like, oh, you. That car? Really? I don't know. I just doesn't.
D
I guess maybe you do it once and you make the payment on it and it's like, all right, I gotta lose it.
A
There is something valid about that. Yeah, you rent it, like, once or twice or once for three days. And all sudden, your monthly payments.
D
What you got for us, Benny?
B
Ryan, I hate to out you.
A
Oh, frick.
B
And if you don't want to tell the story, it's fine, but have you ever told the story about the time that you told your mom that you were Ubering people with her car?
D
Oh, man. My mom hasn't commented on the last podcast when. When I got in a crash, when I. And I told him something else.
A
But that was you.
D
No. So my friend here.
A
I don't. I don't know this either, for the record.
D
So my freshman year of college, I loved going to concerts, and they were always down in the Cities. We'd take, like, these little weekend trips down the cities. Well, we were on college. None of us really had good cars, and I think we wanted to take, like, six people down there. And so I'm like, all right, well, nobody's gonna fit in any of our cars.
C
Whatever.
D
I'm like, like, I got it. I'll borrow my mom's car. Well, I started, like, I borrowed it for one trip and I bought it for another. And then I don't know why, but I was like, no, she. I don't know why, but then she just drew the line at that one. She's like, no, you can't take my car to the Cities again. Like, I need it, or whatever. And I was like, hey, Mom. So then I made up a story. I was like, hey, Mom, I need some extra money, but I can't use my car. So can I use your car this weekend? And I'm going to be an Uber driver for the weekend.
A
It's brilliant.
D
It's a.
A
It's a good.
C
She's not gonna, like, good tail.
A
No.
D
And so we all loaded up in her Caddy and then headed to the Cities for a concert.
B
But she said, oh, yeah.
D
She said, okay.
B
She was like, yeah, for you Ubering it.
D
She's like, yeah, you can be an Uber driver.
A
Even the. The times before, too. God bless her for letting us use that, because we rode to the concerts in luxury in the cat.
B
Yeah, it was sweet, wasn't she? Like, how'd you put 450 miles on my car in two days?
D
Probably, no. But also, I probably down all night.
A
A lot of back and forth.
D
It was kind of true. I was Ubering my friends to the cities.
A
Yeah.
B
And in a way, yeah, you should.
C
Be an Uber, Ben in your Lamborghini.
B
I think that's like.
D
It's a Bummer. All the Easy Lamborghini videos are played out now. Like you can't just like go license test in it or go bring it to your school or be pick up people in Ubers. Like that was like 10 million views five years ago.
C
Yeah.
D
And then.
A
Oh, so there's one. Maybe one thing. This is still pretty generic, but. But a buddy of mine hit me up and he like work. They equip cars, like police cars, among other like special forces cars with sirens and lights and the. And like the loudspeakers. Yeah, you know, so he hit me up and said there's a controller depending on what brand of like siren speaker is in your Lambo. Does it have a siren speaker? Yeah, yeah. Okay. He's like, you can put a little head unit thing on there and load like any sound you want to. So we have to figure that out. I haven't. He just hit me up about it. But yeah, yeah, anything. Anything you want. Like, you know, so that's where it's kind of funny that options are endless. Like, so what would be funny if you saw a Lamborghini?
D
Art noises.
A
Yeah, just fart noises are like that one or something. But yeah, it can play basically any sound we wanted to. But again, it's pretty generic. Just a Lambo making weird sounds.
B
But have ever said why it has the siren in the lights?
D
I don't think so.
B
So the guy that I bought it.
A
From, just in case you need to make any citizens arrest, you know.
C
Well, okay, well, I guess, yeah.
B
So the guy that I bought it from had it as like a rally car. Like he would do like not like off road rallies, like car rallies across like the United States. And he had it wrapped like an Italian police car and had the, the lights installed in it. And the guy messaged me after I bought the car, he saw it and was like, enjoy those lights. Those were $8,000 or something like that.
A
Geez. I mean, looked all custom.
B
Yeah, it was super custom and I'm sure it was a wiring nightmare. But yeah, I basically I got the lights and I knew if I use them in a video, like we would hear about it immediately from our, you know, just local sheriffs or really any law enforcement. So I didn't. But I obviously I was so surprised when I got the car and I pressed the button underneath and it and it had the sirens. I was like, what the. Like not expecting that at all. And then come factory and then, yeah, I had a buddy reach out and was like, hey. I talked to a couple local law enforcements and they're not happy that you're just one or. Yeah, they're not happy that the Lambo has lights and if they see you using it. Actually, they said, like, if. If they see you on the road, they're gonna impound the vehicle and throw you in jail. And I was like, hold up.
C
He said, quote, I can't wait to see it.
B
If they. If they.
C
Tow truck. Yeah.
A
Whoa.
B
And they were.
C
I was like, one guy.
B
Okay, so what do I do? I was like, I'm not gonna spend eight grand to have them completely uninstalled.
A
Yeah.
B
I was like, obviously, I don't care that much about the light.
C
I didn't have them put. Not trying to play cops and robbers.
D
Yeah.
B
And I'm also not trying to use them. And so I was just like, okay. I mean, good to know. And. And obviously, I get that, because let's just say I am a total idiot, and I'm driving around pretending to pull people over.
D
That was a thing around two years ago. Some guy did it in, like, a Ford Explorer. You know, a car that looks like it could be a copy. He'd pull people over and then just never get out of the car. And people would just sit there super scary.
B
And I'm sure that they thought, they're gonna do this for a video. They're gonna, like, pretend to pull people over. Totally Makes sense. Like, I was. I wasn't too. Like, that's what I was like. Yeah, makes sense.
A
I was upset with their assumption because there's about three ways you could go about having a system like that in your car. One, where we legitimately go try to fake pull people over. That's really illegal and something we wouldn't do.
D
No.
C
2, it would be funny to do to your friend, though, would be really fun.
A
Yeah, you're right. It's. Even if it was, like, set up, it would be funny. Like, obviously, the. The person getting pulled over wouldn't know. But two, you could overuse it. You know, you got these sirens. You're. You're not using it as a police officer. You're just like, look what I can do.
B
Yeah.
A
Doing. Making all this noises and the lights. And then three, it would have been like. Let's say you didn't get threatened. You would have used it every once in a while. Maybe at a car show. Well, that's maybe parked.
D
There's a difference. You pull into a holiday gas station, and someone's like, cool car. And you'd be like, yeah, man, check this out. And then there's a difference between you and driving through town. You go, oh, I'm so sick of these red lights. I'm just gonna flip them on and drive through.
B
Oh, my gosh.
D
There's no uses.
A
Yeah. Yeah.
D
And one of them is pretty extreme and understandable why they'd be so mad. So that's why I hated the genericness behind their statement.
C
Yeah.
D
If I see that thing on the.
C
Road, they're just excited, I think.
D
I think it's in the wrong way.
B
Yeah.
C
I can understand guy, by the way.
B
Not.
C
Not.
D
Well, whoever.
B
I. So I ended up having them, like, disconnected, and so, like, I hit the buttons and everything. They can't turn on. But I think it'd be really cool to get, like, the local sheriffs involved and then slap some stickers on the side and then for, like, Thanksgiving, have the lights on, pull people over. Like the sheriff, drive the car, pull people over and, like, give them money.
A
Oh, that'd be super. Or like, turkey.
B
Yeah, like, pull people over and how.
C
Hard is it to wire them back up out.
A
Not.
B
I could. Yeah, it's not super.
C
Let's do that. Dude, we could totally do that. I feel like they'd be down to do that.
B
That'd be really awesome.
C
But the only problem is if you're. You're pulling people over that are. Obviously they're not doing anything wrong, and then also, like, maybe they are in a rush now they're getting pulled over, and they miss something, you know, but they wouldn't be my money.
B
Or you give them a hand.
D
You can do it in. This happened to my friends in Fargo. They got pulled over one day, totally random, in a work truck, and they're like, you know, they're driving a DOT work truck. They're like, oh, no. What? We do all this. They're running through the things, and it was just a cop to pull them over for thanking them for wearing their seatbelt, and they gave him a donut. That's it. There was no fines. Maybe they didn't turn their blinker on early enough. Maybe they have to have probable cause to pull you over. But, yeah, they literally pulled them over and was like, hey, guys, thanks for wearing your seatbelt today. Here's a donut.
B
Kind of cool.
C
The only thing I think about with that, like, imagine you were late to your work, and then you get pulled over just for someone to give you a. I'd be like, this is really nice, but I am now going to get in big trouble with my boss.
A
And.
C
Well, and that's my Only concern, most of the time you're like pulling people over there.
B
You know that that's a very good.
C
Maybe you just catch them like walking it, like hopping in their car right out of Walmart.
A
It's really is you just have like a dick boss. Because most would go, oh, you got pull over. You can't help that. Yeah. And you'd be like, I wasn't even speeding, whatever.
C
But there was a guy in Florida that was literally dressing up and pretending to be an officer and pulling people over. And it's all on video. And it's so freaking funny. You got to watch it. I mean, this guy was a.
D
No, no, no, no, no.
B
He was just.
C
He would dress up as a cop and he had like these cop lights on his.
D
Like it was for a funeral procession. But he. Cronies would act like they were.
E
And they'd be like, so.
B
Yeah, what is that?
A
Like it.
C
I was in tears on highway. It is so can we pull it up, please?
D
Oh my God.
C
So funny. We got to pull it up and put it on. Like. I'm not kidding you.
B
I think I've watched it like four.
C
Different times and I was in tears every time. This guy was a such a psychopath.
A
So he, he was flat out like a psychopath troll.
D
He was trolling.
B
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
C
He was just being serious and he was like playing cop. So basically his job was to run the lights and es, be the escort for like a funeral where they have to drive from wherever they were doing it to basically the grave. And there's always those lines and they have people that hold off roads and stop stuff. And he would be on a motorcycle.
B
And he would have a GoPro because.
C
He freaking for some reason thought it was awesome.
A
Gotta film it.
C
So he'd be whipping around and like swearing at people and like. So I'll pull it up.
D
But look at this dude. Look at the dude.
B
Like, I mean, that's him. That's him.
C
Oh my God.
D
Acting a full. So I'll pull up the best video. But I mean, they call him like a serial police impersonator.
C
It's so funny.
A
You guys serious?
C
Oh my gosh, dude, I'm. I'm just happy we get to watch this again.
D
Oh, man, this is such a funny video. I remember finding this and showing it to CJ and him. I was the first time this had.
C
To been a couple of years ago. You showed me this.
B
Look at this.
D
He's doing it for a Corvette rally in this one.
C
Full blown.
D
Stop pretending You're a police officer.
C
He's crying now.
B
Can you imagine thinking that this isn't gonna backfire?
C
So he's blocking the road. And he'd be doing this for like, not even just funerals, but like Corvette rallies and stuff.
E
Whoa, whoa, whoa. What?
D
Come here. Dude.
E
Dude, sit right here.
A
He's so angry.
E
Right here.
D
Stop.
A
Right here.
C
Stop.
B
Wait, is that a real cop?
A
No.
E
Go past me.
B
Go past me.
D
This is another one of the funeral procession cars. Like, but they make it look like they're cops.
A
Metro State vehicle protection Repo.
E
Take this intersection and keep this under control.
D
He's got his little Starbucks cup.
C
We gotta get to like the best, best parts here.
B
Who the knows?
E
I don't. All I know is he has a.
A
Right away.
B
There's a real cop there.
C
He's just flying. He's just flying past these people. It's going like a hundred.
D
Dude, look at this.
C
He's risking his life.
D
And my. My favorite part is, keep in mind these people that he's passing right now are in a funeral procession.
B
Doesn't cover this.
D
Those are the people hired him him for a safe and effective drive through town. He's doing that to them.
B
Yo, this guy is the classic situation of didn't get through cop school. And now he's figuring out a second. Second option.
C
They're in the funeral.
A
He's probably mad at them.
B
He is.
D
Look at him. Dude.
C
Dude.
A
On coming on a bridge with that much traffic in a semi coming.
B
Jesus, dude.
D
I love this.
C
Dude.
D
Look at all these Caddies. Freaking.
A
What the.
D
Probably the family in these cars. He's splitting lanes between them.
C
You gotta hear what he's like saying.
D
I know. When we get to the part road, he starts yelling this, this.
B
That's the pushing the road.
A
I love how he lets himself get behind and then angrily passes everybody cars.
B
He's stopping everyone. Red light, sitting there.
C
Hey, car stop.
A
He expects everyone to know what's going on.
E
I don't give a.
B
Points at it.
A
Do you not see my bike?
D
Oh my gosh.
A
Like he's constantly. Hands up. Hands. What are you doing?
E
Hey, stop your vehicle.
C
He reverses.
A
That's the siren on full blast.
D
He's shaking his head, all pissed off, dude.
C
Unbelievable.
B
Tears off.
E
Oh, this guy in a blue car.
B
Some white in a blue car.
C
He goes after I think.
A
And they have no idea what's going on at all.
E
They have no idea why or what.
C
Imagine Mike driving. This guy comes after him.
A
I'd be such. Well, I'd probably think he's a real cop to be honest. Just like everyone else. Get over they put him in the meeting.
E
Dude, you better figure it out.
D
You gotta figure it out.
C
Literally.
B
Not even.
E
Point fingers at everybody.
B
I would love to run into this guy in public.
A
Yeah. It would take 30 seconds to get him riled up.
C
You better you out of my funeral.
E
Out of my funeral. The heck.
B
Dude, you over there. Put him in timeout.
A
Literally.
D
I think this blue car is in it and he's like pissed off.
A
This guy's just continuing to drive.
E
Get the over.
D
Dude, like imagine being in that car driving to the funeral and you got this jackass ass revving the bike up like it's okay the knee. The guy in the Nissan Sentra isn't bothering me.
E
What are you doing? What the does it look like I'm doing Dumb? Get the over before you find out.
D
Stop pretending you're a police officer.
E
Listen, I know what I'm allowed to do and what I'm not allowed to do. What you need to do is figure it the out before you start talking. I'm not cutting anyone. Go ahead and pull your little phone out. Do your little Google search. Search and figure out what we're doing and what we immediately allow. Good. Then back off and give us room.
C
I'm not interfering with you at all.
E
You are. By running along.
B
You've been blocking traffic.
D
Yeah.
E
I need you to stay to the side, sir. That's what the legal law is. Go back and look it up. 316 please. 911 right now. Go ahead, call them. 9911 right now. Tell them it's on video too. Let them know. All of us it's on video. We also have your tag number, so please let me know.
D
Go. This is when he pulls on the interstate and then shuts down the entire interstate.
C
Yeah.
E
For a Corvette.
B
For a Corvette rally.
A
This guy is definitely a psychopath. I know what you're saying.
C
Now watch this. They shut down the interstate lanes.
E
Hot lanes. Hot lanes. Hot lanes.
A
True. Got it.
D
You got it.
E
Asap. Where the are you going?
B
Dude, this is some quality energy. This guy could have his own show on tv.
C
This is the best.
E
Let's get some body footage of the camp cars rates above life especially asap. Get off your bike. With the body clamber footage of the.
D
Cruiser.
A
We just shut down.
E
95.
A
He's like getting off.
E
Not a mother.
C
He's getting off to it.
E
Not a.
B
Not a can do anything about it.
A
Yeah, he's definitely getting off to it.
E
We outrank them.
A
Yeah, we Outrank them.
E
Yeah. Well, I can promise you there's cops coming right now somewhere he knows real cops coming. What is this? What event is this? This is a funeral for somebody that owned Corvette, right? God damn you. God damn right it is. Somebody that designed Cor died. I can't control the stat. Dude, you want to get to the front? Get to the front and find out who it is we need.
A
Can we hire this guy?
B
Yeah, can we hire him to just, like, out of jail and drive us.
A
Around or just do something? You should just hire him to escort us and then rile him up.
C
Gets off when he's like, we just shut down 95.
D
Not a thing we can do about it.
A
Dude. Yeah. Something tells me, well, you guys are right. I. If he ever stopped me, we wouldn't get along. Well, that guy. No, because I'd be, like, sarcastic, and he'd start to get all around.
D
Oh, man, I can't imagine.
A
That's only if. If I. Yeah, if I knew that something was fishy, I'd start to get all sarcastic with him, and I'd be.
D
Like.
A
I need to stop you. You're not even real cop. And then I'd say, two. I would never wish this upon anybody, but dude needs to get a little Fendi bendy, I think. Yeah, he's already. Yeah, he got went into jail. But, like, dude, the way he was driving at the beginning of that, he needs to get, like, reality checked. Which he did again with the penalties.
B
But Ross Creations was impersonating a police officer and handing out tickets, parking tickets, and I think he went to jail for, like, six months.
A
It was Right. That's right.
D
A long time.
B
Yeah.
C
Yeah.
A
They don't mess around with that.
C
No, no.
B
And I mean rightfully so, because, like, some weirdos, you know.
D
Exactly.
C
Have you ever thought about that when you're getting pulled over, especially, like, you're in the dark of the night, you don't see the car. It just comes up, lights behind you. It could be someone that just showed up and they had cop lights installed in their vehicle because you can't see. It's just lights behind you, comes up, kills you, takes your car or just takes your car or whatever, you know, like, especially if you're like a. A, Like a girl or something.
B
Like, I think they worry that with undercover cops.
C
Yeah. Like, if an undercut.
B
I think there's some. Some kind. I don't know.
C
You could probably call 91 1, be like, I. I think I'm being pulled over, but I'm just calling Right now to say I'm gonna keep going until an actual cop car gets behind me because.
D
Yeah, I don't know.
A
Yeah, wouldn't be so weird to even be in that situation. I've definitely heard that before. If you're getting pulled over by an unmarked, give them a ring. If you're. If you're scared, unsure about it. But like, it'd be weird to even be in that situation.
C
It's tough though, because most people panic.
D
Yeah.
A
Yeah, okay. Get over. Yeah, don't do anything wrong, dude.
B
One time I was driving the SEMA truck and every single time I drove that thing, I would get pulled over, I swear. And I was in like the middle of town and there was like two roads or like it was like a two lane road, but the curb was right up to the road. There was no shoulder, so it was like curb and then like grass. And a cop pulled me over because the truck is a walking violation or driving violation. And I was basically just waiting for like, I don't know, 50 yards to pass. And then I was gonna pull off, off the road because I didn't want to just stop right in the middle.
D
Of this two lane road on the side of.
C
Yeah, you were giving him like a safer spot. To.
B
Which I thought was pretty normal. I didn't drive for like four minutes, right. It was like maybe 15 seconds and I had my blinker on and everything. And then the guy came up. I. I don't think he was like. Had his gun out, but he was like, came up hot. And he was like, get out of the car.
A
Whoa.
B
And I was.
D
Was this in the day or at night?
B
This is at night.
C
Oh, okay.
B
And. And I like, get out. And he's like, why didn't you pull over? And I was like, oh, there was no shoulder and I didn't want to just stop in the middle of traffic.
A
And.
B
And he was like, when I pull you over, you pull over right now.
D
Or when you, when you turn on my. Or when I turn my lights.
B
When I turn on my lights, you pull over right now. Which I guess also kind of makes sense from the standpoint of them assuming. Assuming that if, if you don't pull over, you're probably switching seats or something like that.
D
Something could be going on or you're hiding. You're like pulling into a parking lot. He's like, I want to be on the side of the highway, not in some dark parking lot where, you know.
B
Yeah, yeah, it's an age old problem. Then he saw that I was like, alone and he saw like, I don't know, I was probably, I was just like, dude, I was just getting like.
C
Off the road and Ben was crying.
B
Just tow it. I don't want, I don't want it anymore.
D
It does kind of remind me, this guy being really entitled and whatever. And I definitely not good. But last night I wanted Domino's, so I tried to go to Domino's. It was closed.
A
Oof. I heard you getting all hyped up about it last night too. That's really sad to hear.
D
Yeah.
C
Yep.
D
So then my desire for hunger, my hangriness grew. I went, all right, I'm going to go to McDonald's. Go to McDonald's. The drive thru line is out into the road. And I go, wow, this. I'm one guy, I'mma go inside. So I go inside, walk up, there's tons of people, the whole restaurant's full. And I go to the door, it's locked. I'm like, what? Where's the lock? Go try the other door.
A
Locked.
D
I'm like, what the. So I'm like, well, this is weird.
C
Private party.
D
It closes at 10. It's like eight. We're good. So I knock on the window. Everybody in the restaurant, or a couple people kind of look over at me, whatever. And I'm like trying to signal to the door. And everyone's looking.
B
He accidentally locked this.
C
Yeah.
D
I'm like, like, I look like I'm trying to crazy. I look like I'm crazy out there. Send this other group of people walk up by me. I'm like, the door's locked. No, the people aren't letting me in, whatever. So I keep knocking and the, the guy is not getting through. So guy in the drive through sees me knocking, goes, oh, he must not be able to get attention. So he rolls down his window, goes, here, I'll honk. So then they get your attention. He starts honking in the drive through. Then the whole place looks at me and I'm outside going like this. I'm like, door, door. Trying to signal to it. And everyone's looking at me like this.
A
They're like, like this guy's trying to break in. Yeah.
D
And I'm like, someone.
B
The other guy started going, help, help. Pretty soon everyone in the line is honking.
D
So I'm like, what the hell? So eventually, finally some lady figures out what I'm trying to say. She goes to the door and she.
B
Goes, oh, she couldn't figure out that you wanted to get in?
D
No. And I mean, I guess I can see from their perspective, it was maybe a little weird, but yeah, there was like 25 people that could have to figure.
B
She opens it, she just cracks the door and you go. She goes, oh, what's going on? You go, I got so bad.
D
No.
B
All right.
D
She comes up, she like opens the door a little bit, like, a little bit like answering the door. So no good. She says they're closed, they're not serving inside anymore. And I was like, What? It's, it's 8 o', clock, the lights on. I was like, yeah. And she tries to close the door.
B
You put your foot in there, but.
D
All she's got is the push bar. So she doesn't have any grip.
B
I gotta leverage.
D
So I grabbed the handle and open it up and she kind of goes. And they kind of like scurry. Scared of you behind.
C
There's some psycho outside.
D
I mean, like, I don't look that scary, but I had a look in my eye.
A
I was hungry, I started to get a damn MC double here.
D
Yeah. And then, so I walk in, there's no line at the register. There's a nice old lady standing, goes, hi, what can I get for you?
B
Oh, you straight up barged your way in.
A
Yeah.
D
She kind of like tried to close the door and I just grabbed the door handle.
E
Right.
B
Wasn't taking no for it.
D
I was not waiting in a, a 30 car line to order a freaking crispy Chicken sandwich at 7 o' clock at night. 8 o' clock at night when the lobby's open.
B
Sorry, we're closed. No, you're not.
D
No, that was a random lady in the restaurant. So patron, they're closed inside.
A
And she didn't understand Ryan's past. Trauma of dominoes. Not being open.
B
Exactly. That'd be Ken. If ken worked at McDonald's, he would be like, oh, we close in three hours.
D
Lock the doors.
B
Lock the doors. Is starting to wind down.
A
He starts having customers lock the doors for him.
D
So, yeah, I was, it was quite the experience. But the, the lady wouldn't like, we didn't want to let me in. And then I think she may have said something. She was like, they're, they're not, they're not going to serve you said, they're.
C
Not going to serve you.
D
I just go, it's okay, I have a permit. And I just opened.
B
No.
E
Yeah.
B
You really fed up. You pulled the permit card?
D
Yeah, I said I have a permit.
B
For what?
C
I don't know.
D
Fucking eating McDonald's when it's open.
C
I like it. Good for you, Ryan.
D
So that's my sense of being an asshole. The people behind me loved it. They thought it was funn. Normal people, they were like, oh, those. I'm glad you got us in. Whatever. But I'm sure you brought a whole.
A
Crew behind you outside.
D
Yeah, I had two other people behind me, and then another crew of kids came up. They got locked out. I went and let them in too.
B
Oh, you did?
D
Yeah.
A
Ryan's a local hero.
D
Yeah, McDonald's.
B
Next time we go in there, there's like a photo of Ryan on the wall and just blacklisted.
D
Do not let this guy in.
A
Yeah, McDonald's is just. It's turned into a meme now now, you know what I'm saying? Like, that type of behavior isn't even crazy for you to do.
C
Dude, there's some crazy Facebook videos of going down at McDonald's.
A
McDonald's.
C
Like, sometimes it's like workers fighting people. How. How hangry are you to jump the counter at McDonald's and start beating up the cashier?
D
I was not that hangry.
B
Yeah, not that hangry.
C
Like, I know, I know you weren't. But like, that's. That happened happens.
A
That's what I mean.
B
Like, it's mess up your order.
A
The interiors of McDonald's and McDonald's in general are just treated as like. It's just. It's similar to Walmart. Like kind of anything goes. You know, we walk into Walmart. Not. We're not disrespectful, but we're like. I mean, it's Walmart.
C
It has something to do with the crowd too.
B
Yeah, straight up.
C
Like, there's just no one gives a. Over there. Sorry to swear.
A
I love it, though. All right, well, the.
B
The.
A
The listeners have been asking for a little bit more of Evan, so I'm gonna give it up for the last.
D
No. Oh, no. We don't speak until we get 100. Evan doesn't get to speak 150.
C
Well, he's been on here. He's not going to speak.
B
He's like, screw you guys.
D
So when that was funny, when we hit 150,000 subs, Evan will come on. We'll get them all teed up. He'll speak again. So.
A
Okay. No, that's totally fair.
D
I think we've reached. Reached the end of the podcast. So that. That gives something people a little homework.
A
Yeah.
D
Subscribe button.
B
That's what I was just never hit one.
A
I was. I was scrubbing through the comments and.
C
And to be fair, Ryan so Alon. Ryan's girlfriend Alondra actually lives in the same apartment that Alex, my girlfriend, used to live in Indio. And I would kind of have the same thing. I would always do the order domino's or I'd go there and pick it up. More times than not, they would mess my order up.
A
Yeah.
B
And that actually would make me mad.
C
If I had them delivered. I get it and I get it back to the room and I order like Sinistics and there'd be no frosting. I'm like, how actually mad because I, like, give him a good tip.
B
And CJ goes, it would happen all the time.
C
So I was just gonna like a little piece of advice from somebody who's been there.
A
If you.
C
Whatever you get from that domino's, double check. Just double check it. I'm not saying they're all messing up, but it seemed like 50% of the time it was messed up. Maybe it was just one dude and hopefully he's not working there anymore, but.
D
Well, no one was working there yesterday.
C
Yeah, apparently not. They were probably all messing it up and they shut the place down.
A
Okay, so this is just. Just happened recently. Obviously you guys saw that we went to one of Cletus many Crown Vic races. I forget. Ours was the LA Mullets 2.4 Ken Hayes. That was fun. I didn't even realize when we went to that how many he does. He does like, it seems like he does once a month. I don't know how often they actually are. So just recently, his last one was The Ranger danger 9,000 and pretty dope. Cletus puts on some amazing live events and this one in particular was the winner of it. Got to go to the low mullets 2.4. So maybe that race is considered even better. But anyway, this Ranger Danger 9000 race.
B
Seemed like the Low Mullets is invite only. And I think correct. There's some kind of different picking for the.
A
Yeah, just one winner though of this Ranger Dangerous. I didn't think. I thought it was just the same as La Mullets. It was invite only. He's got a bunch of Rangers, everyone races it. But it's anything goes. It's just like anyone can enter. I mean, I think you have to apply. But any Ranger, it doesn't matter if it's single cab short, you bring your own Ranger.
E
I didn't know that.
C
I imagine we showed up with ours.
A
That's what I'm saying.
B
We don't run someone over.
A
I believe I looked it up. I believe there are some rules people.
C
Wouldn'T Be able to get past it.
B
Such a wide load.
A
You have to, you know, you have to have a harness, you have to have a cage and it's fine. I think that's about it.
B
We're gonna do that anyways, right?
A
So I couldn't believe that. I thought it was just another one of Cletus's races where he provided said car that actually Rangers are pretty easy to. We.
C
We got to do that.
A
So he did it. But anyway it happened and it seems like you'd think you'd take a few more like maybe the top three winners to go into the lamones, but whatever. Just the top one yet he's got. It was something like 40 Rangers in this. In this event and only one. So they're beating up their own. Like nobody's paying for this besides the people entering and yeah, they're Floridians. Yeah, I saw a couple, I saw a couple new gen Rangers in it. Any Ranger goes. Any Ranger goes.
D
More power.
A
That's what I'm saying. Saying. Yeah, up at the front, more, more power. But then keep in mind I'm seeing motor swapped Rangers like with race tires and lowered and shit. So obviously. However, again in all racing swap dually.
D
Would be pretty sweet.
B
That's frick.
C
You put like an LSX in a Ranger.
D
I think West Winter Cummins Winter Project.
A
Well that's the only thing at this point you guys have seen. Hopefully seen our Ranger video though. Do we do eat it. The only thing it's missing is some true diesel smoke. Yeah, but I mean that's beyond power stroke.
C
Swap it then.
A
Yeah, or whatever fits. To be honest. Whatever's diesel.
C
We got to do a Ford but.
A
I just thought that was so crazy.
C
You don't have to.
B
Let's send it off this winter and have that actually be sick. All right, cool.
C
Let's end it quick for retention. No, just kidding.
A
Peace out.

Date: October 25, 2022
In this milestone 50th episode, the CboysTV crew—CJ, Ben, Ryan, Ken, Evan, and Micah—riff on topics central to their lives and channel: health fads, travel dreams, small-town midwestern differences, business mishaps, internet celebrities, run-ins with questionable authorities, and some truly wild personal stories. The show’s highlight is Micah finally sharing the full, stressful account of when he was falsely accused of stealing a snowmobile—a story never previously discussed on the podcast.
The episode blends humor, candid reflection, midwestern camaraderie, and the slightly manic storytelling fans love. Listeners are treated to a grab bag of outrageous anecdotes, impromptu debates, behind-the-scenes YouTube realities, and off-the-cuff advice.

This episode is classic CboysTV—irreverent, a bit chaotic, deeply midwestern, self-deprecating, full of off-the-wall stories and group call-backs. The crew doesn’t shy away from poking fun at themselves (and, lovingly, at each other), while also offering honest insights into risk-taking, business learning curves, and the small-but-real perils of internet notoriety.
This episode delivers a quintessential CboysTV experience: you get the untold stories, personal mishaps, wild hijinx, business lessons, friendship ribbing, and a look into the realities (and risks) of being both small-town creators and “life wide open” adventurers. If you're new to the Life Wide Open podcast, this is a fantastic introduction.
