Episode Overview

This week, the CboysTV crew dives into a characteristically wide-ranging conversation that spans car culture debates, personal finance fails, wild party histories, running into legal troubles over parking tickets, and behind-the-scenes tales from their attempts at small business. The guys mix candid reflection with their signature humor, exploring both hard-won lessons and ongoing misadventures—from $100k regrets and business flops to why Ben once nearly went to jail over a seemingly trivial sum.

00:22 – 03:13

• Discussion about popular creators (like Nelk) receiving backlash for infrequent uploads or overhyped videos.

2. Electric vs Gas Cars, and Car Stereotypes

03:13 – 05:18; 08:15 – 11:16

• Ben drove Ken’s Tesla Plaid for a few days, which made his usual supercars feel “legit slow.”
• The group jokes that owning a Tesla shouldn’t be anyone’s only car, poking fun at both Teslas and Broncos as "girl cars," but admitting their off-road and mudding capability is impressive.
• Quote: “I'd rather get in the ring with Mike Tyson and have him punch me in the balls 45 times than be seen driving this car.” —Evan (04:02, as retold by Ben)
• Passionate takes on Broncos, pickups, and supercar practicality—and the obsessive pride of Corvette culture.

3. Mike’s $100k Regret and Gold Wing Adventures

05:54 – 08:17

• Mike buys a Honda Gold Wing and the guys have fun at its expense, calling it “the lamest motorcycle ever made.”
• Mike plans to let Evan take it on an off-road adventure but is challenged to own the choice and “be proud” of the Gold Wing.
• Running Joke: Suggesting Mike updates his Instagram bio to “Gold Wing Mike.” (07:50)

18:14 – 21:55

• Frustration over lost payments and slow communication by mail, whether it’s for HOAs, tenants, or big company bills.

5. Parking Tickets & Accidental Jail Time

14:31 – 17:52

• Cut to a (not so) cautionary tale: a friend’s brother got arrested and spent a weekend in jail due to unpaid parking tickets, shocking the group.
• Reflection on how easily minor legal oversights can turn serious—and relate this to their own college days.
• Quote: "I'd be like, someone get over here with the $55 that I owe and let me stay out of jail for the weekend." —Ryan (17:09)

6. Failed First Businesses & Door-to-Door Hustle

41:42 – 48:33

• Ben and Mike recount their ill-fated T-shirt printing and sales business, including awkward door-to-door hustling and a cringe-inducing visit to a "heat transfer warehouse."
• The sting of a massive spelling error (“formed in 17ft” instead of “formed in ’17”) dooms their first big shirt order, forcing them to eat the cost.
• Quote: "There's nothing worse than making a spelling error on the computer that comes to life on a T-shirt with cured ink." —Mike (48:24)

26:51 – 34:33

• The team debates car loans and spending beyond your means, mocking the idea of 20- or 30-year loans for a Lamborghini.

9. Behind the Scenes: Tours, Cribs, & Fame

23:23 – 27:09

Transcript

[Ryan]

I'd be like, someone get over here with the $55 that I owe and let me stay out of jail for the weekend.

[Ben]

Turns out they weren't the guys.

[CJ]

Next person shows up.

[Ben]

Oh, wait, who is this?

[CJ]

But if Alex pepper sprays Mike, that's a funny deal.

[Ben]

Now we got a part. Oh, that's. Gosh, that's funny. Boys make the community. Wet.

[CJ]

Elk is getting some backlash. Not really backlash. They just get a lot of hate nowadays because they don't post much.

[Ben]

What are they saying?

[CJ]

Well, they just, like, posted the. Just like a real, like, smashing the tv. And you read the comments, just didn't on. And then same with, like, their Bachelor. You read the comments on that they're getting on.

[Ryan]

It never went well for them. I felt like even though it got.

[CJ]

Tons of views, I think for one, people don't, like, just, like, acting. Like, you don't really watch YouTube to watch some kind of person act. And then for two, it's like they hyped it up for a month, and then you drop it. And no matter what, no matter if it was, like, the best thing ever, when you hype something up, it's hard to live up to, in my opinion.

[Ryan]

It's true.

[CJ]

Even with, like, whistling's cybertruck vid, like, it was a really good vid, but I was expecting to be insane. It wasn't necessarily insane. It was an amazing video, and it deserves 20 million views. But I thought he was going to do something really, really, really, really crazy with it.

[Mike]

That's when I started feeling really critical of, like, I felt like an average YouTube viewer, where I was like, damn, I was expecting more.

[CJ]

No, it was an amazing video. It was amazing and it was awesome. But, like, you know, when you talk about working on something for so long, it's tough to live up to because, like, I'm like, okay, you know, I don't know. It's just. Yeah, they're getting on kind of a little bit in their comments.

[Ben]

I see.

[Ryan]

I. I do got to admit, he proved me wrong. I was one of the guys who saw the frame break off, and I was like, not, like, overly worked up about it, but I was like, well, yeah, because, like, it dropped and it fell and then it cracked it and then the pole broke it off the rest of the way. And then they literally bent the frame on that Ford and then bent it back and it never broke off.

[CJ]

That's why Ford's the best.

[Ryan]

Just stock Ford Raptor, dude.

[Ben]

The.

[Mike]

The Ford lore in the crew, people are going to Hear that and be like, these guys got to be sponsored by Ford.

[CJ]

Just love them. I drove good truck.

[Ben]

I drove Ken's Tesla plaid the last couple days.

[Ryan]

Oh, you've been driving it?

[Ben]

I drove it for like two days.

[Ryan]

Cuz Ken can't sell it for anything.

[Ben]

He can't sell it? Yeah, he's trying to sell it. It's the. It's the Model X. It's plaid. After driving it for two days, I hopped in our GTR. The 1200 horsepower GTR. It legit felt slow.

[Ryan]

I feel that driving my Corvette, I'm like, this is slower than my Hummer.

[Ben]

Cuz it's just so easy to go so fast, dude. And like the crazy part about it is it just feels. Everything about the Tesla just like feels like you're living in the future and it just makes sense, right? And then you go back to a normal vehicle and you're like, oh, this is kind of just like dumb.

[Ryan]

I can't believe you came around to electric cars.

[Ben]

But then I got done driving it and I was just like, ah. As cool as this is, as fast as this is, just not sure if I'm ready to go.

[Ryan]

E. I just can't go back on my word.

[Ben]

I've said and I've said too much, dude. I like, Ken was going to give me a steal of a deal, so. And he still might. And I still might do it. So I might be looking back and like, I should have maybe just said.

[CJ]

Nothing, but I think it's an awesome car. But dude, it just looks so lame. It's damn near minivan. I'm not driving around a minivan. I don't care how fast it is.

[Mike]

Having a Tesla is fine, but as long as it's not your only car.

[Ryan]

Just as in like, you have to have something that like Ben.

[Mike]

If Ben bought. Yes. If you bought the plaid from Ken and that was your only car. Tough look, brother.

[CJ]

What are you saying about Ken?

[Mike]

He's got a Bronco.

[Ben]

Well, if you ask Evan, that is arguably worse on every Gosh.

[Mike]

He really must. Evan hate.

[Ben]

I don't know if he's ever told you that to your face. Yeah, he must be being nice. I was driving Ken's. I. I was driving it from like the farm to the shop and I was giving Evan a ride. That's what it was. So he was in there with me and I was like, I was like, dude, this is like a. This is a really nice car. Right? The fit and finish is all super nice. And he was like, dude, I would Legit. Rather get in the ring with Mike Tyson and have him punch me in the balls 45 times then be seen driving this car.

[Ryan]

Man, that boy's got an opinion.

[CJ]

I kind of. I. I kind of feel the same about broncos. Not. Not to even close to that extent, but, like, just get a pickup. Like, I just don't really see why. Like, to me, the only time I would buy a Bronco or a Jeep like Wrangler is for my girlfriend.

[Ben]

I.

[CJ]

That's just how I feel on him. Like, it just. And my dad drives like a Jeep Wrangler and like, I kind of tell him like, it's of kind. Kind of a girl car. Like, it just is. It's just kind of a girl car. I think it's a cool girl car. Like, I think if Alex drove a Bronco, my girlfriend, I'd be like, damn, like, that's a badass car for a chick. I'm glad that you and Ken like them, but to me, to me, it's just like, why not just buy a.

[Mike]

The only thing I'll say, well, why.

[CJ]

Not have a pickup?

[Mike]

It's a tough argument or whatever and you're just.

[CJ]

You could do less with it.

[Mike]

Me, like, saying this would pretty much disagree with you. I love everything about it. Really? Everything. Besides that it's not a pickup. I'd go as far as to say as I regret buying it versus buying a brand new Raptor.

[Ben]

Well, you could have.

[CJ]

You'd have. Still. You still have the off road capability with a Raptor pickup, but then you'd have a bed.

[Ryan]

You should buy my Cybertruck. And then you and Ken can have the same rigs.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah, dude.

[Mike]

Oh, that would actually be interesting. I think about it. I don't know, dude. I'm just. I still am losing sleep over that black Cummins.

[CJ]

What one?

[Mike]

I just love it. I think that's what I got to be in. But also, I'm really torn.

[Ben]

Talking about, like the one that we gave away.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Why?

[CJ]

I just want another from the guy.

[Mike]

Well, I mean, I don't need to do that. There's plenty of black. All black Dodge Rain.

[CJ]

He'll drive it from.

[Ben]

Where'd he.

[CJ]

Where's he live again?

[Ben]

Pennsylvania.

[CJ]

From. Pennsylvania. That's not very far from Ohio. You just bought a Honda Gold Wing. Ohio paid for him to deliver it.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah. Money Mike just. He just copped a fresh. Fresh rig. Fresh whip.

[CJ]

It's just a typical Friday.

[Ben]

I'm trying to think of. I'm trying to think of the word. I would use to describe it? Well, it's a Honda Gold Wing, so let's just. Let's just get into the nitty gritty.

[Mike]

And it's like. It's like dark magenta. It's like fuchsia purple.

[Ben]

Yeah, it's about the lamest motorcycle ever made.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I don't think.

[Mike]

I'm trying to think. Yeah, I was like, for my case, I was trying to think of more.

[CJ]

Lame motorcycles, but I mean, trikes, the ones where they have the two wheels in the front, but maybe then you're doing that.

[Ryan]

You don't have the. The physical ability to ride a motorcycle.

[CJ]

So honestly, I sat on the. On the Gold Wing comfy. There's nothing cool about it, but holy. I could probably ride that thing the far going back a hundred times in one sitting. It's like a couch, bro. It's like a couch. And I mean, you could just. The suspension was. Was compressing a pretty fair amount. A substantial amount to the point where I thought it was maybe blowing out, but then is five years old. Then I realized, no, it's just like this for comfort.

[Ryan]

Plush.

[CJ]

It's like this for comfort. I bet you could ride that thing off road and not even feel a bump.

[Mike]

I'm excited. I'm excited to log some miles. But then I did ask Luke who I bought it from. I was like, dude, how. Like, what's the farthest you've ever driven this? And then you're like, I haven't.

[CJ]

Yeah, he's in the collection.

[Ryan]

Farthest I drove it is from Ohio home or to you guys?

[CJ]

He just put it on the trailer and.

[Mike]

Yeah, no, I. I don't know. It's got 100,000 miles. I'll see what I can do on it, dude. But I really do. I kind of like, I was like, just going to kind of hand it over to Evan eventually and have him off road it, but then Ben's like, nah, you're doing it.

[Ben]

That's your Gold Wing now, dude, don't be letting Evan ride your Gold Wing.

[Mike]

You let Evan ride all kinds of stuff of ours.

[Ben]

Ours? Yeah, that's your mine.

[Mike]

Yeah, true. But, like, why can't I let Evan ride my bike?

[CJ]

You want him to break it?

[Ben]

Kind of. I think that's your Gold Wing, Mike.

[Mike]

I know it's my Gold Wing.

[Ben]

You should be proud of it.

[Mike]

CJ just said it's the lamest bike ever made.

[CJ]

No, but it rides nice.

[Ryan]

I change your Instagram bio to Gold Wing, Mike.

[Mike]

Goldwing Mic. Gosh, there's so many Good.

[CJ]

What you should do is put your bio as every vehicle. You own it. I don't know if there's enough space because, you know, some people are like.

[Mike]

No, I'll do that.

[CJ]

2012 Duramax. And then it's like 2017 Mustang 5.0. Like, you could just list, like. I mean, there probably isn't enough room in your bio for.

[Mike]

I don't think there is. Literally, if I were to actually.

[CJ]

Holy, dude, that'd be hilarious.

[Mike]

Actually list everything. I don't think I could fit it.

[Ben]

But he's got his truck.

[CJ]

Someone sees them, they're like, holy. Who is this guy? They get down to the water truck.

[Ben]

Big wrench was giving us ideas of something that we could do with this motor that we just pulled out of this lawnmower. And he was like, what if we used it for the motor of. Of Mike's water truck?

[Mike]

Wait.

[Ben]

And I was like, well, big wrench, Mike's water truck doesn't run. So what are we gonna do? Just put it in the middle of the track and just hope that this motor pumps water like 400 yards.

[Mike]

Oh, use it as a pump motor. Yeah, we're going to put a lawnmower mower.

[Ben]

And he was like, well, we could maybe, like, put a new motor into the water truck. And I was like, how much time do you think you've got down there right now?

[CJ]

We got to pick and choose our priority here.

[Mike]

Yeah, I love the idea, but, yeah, water trucks kind of just hanging out in the field.

[Ben]

Yeah, it hasn't gotten much use.

[Mike]

Not this year.

[Ben]

Well, dude, it's been raining so much this summer. I don't remember a year that we've ever had this much rain, which is wild. It's always just last winter, we didn't have a single snowstorm.

[Ryan]

Do you guys believe in the Farmer's Almanac?

[Ben]

Yeah. What's that thing saying for this cold and wet?

[CJ]

Oh, damn it. Wait, that'd be good in the winter.

[Ben]

That'd be good for us.

[CJ]

Do you hate to go back in the conversation, but I do want to just say one thing. I know I said some negative things about the Bronco, but God damn, you guys proved. Proved how good they are when you were ripping out in the field. And that. That mudding that. When I saw that, I was like, damn. Like, that's jump better. And they look. They look cool when they were ripping like that.

[Mike]

Like, I'm still pulling mud out of that thing.

[Ben]

I'm still pulling mud off of mine from when I built it and jumped it on my Raptor, I still have mud in places.

[Mike]

It's just like. And I tell. I'm not being like, oh, this is why you don't mud your stuff. Like, no, if you want to have, like, if you want to go mudding, just get, like, separate stuff that you care less about because it will never be the same for what an hour of. Of ripping, you should have mudding.

[Ryan]

This is the nice thing. I found this video of a. A Jeep. And this is if you drive a big car, you get to be the big car on the road, which Jeeps and Broncos are really good at. We have a new Samsung tv. It's currently letting us down. Check this out, dude. It's kind of like when the tire flipped off, but I love that they just ran right into them and it.

[Mike]

Didn'T do anything happen, dude.

[CJ]

That's why having tires stick outside your fenders is good.

[Ryan]

Probably could be argued that that's why it's really bad.

[CJ]

But.

[Ryan]

But yeah, I agree. You know, I mean, this guy definitely won in the scenario.

[Ben]

You know what's funny? I saw a video on Instagram this week of have you guys ever seen, like, that. That cyber truck that's actually a Baja truck?

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah. He.

[Mike]

He clipped a guy's Corvette, dude.

[Ben]

He clipped a Corvette tire and. But no coming down, and it didn't mess the Corvette up at all.

[Mike]

Makes no sense.

[Ryan]

So what?

[Ben]

Dude? Makes zero sense. He was, like, coming down the road, and this Corvette might have maybe merged in him or he merged into the Corvette, but I don't know if the Corvette had, like, the wheel turned just the slightest bit, but it, like, jumped off the wheel and it maybe scuffed up the side of the Corvette a little bit.

[CJ]

What?

[Ben]

Yeah, there's, like, a picture of the Corvette and afterwards and was like, oh, this is all that happened to it. And it was just like maybe a little.

[Ryan]

Did he have it on video?

[Ben]

Yeah. So that's like, the thing is the. The video is on the other side of the car. So you just see from, like, this side, and it hit it like this, if that makes sense. So filming here and it. So you can't really see, like, what it did, but made no sense to me. Made no sense to me. So it's funny that you brought that up about the. Maybe there is something to be said about having a little bit of poke. Just the right amount. Well, the right amount. Like, state troopers are like, the moment you're talking, this is the perfect amount of poke.

[Mike]

Like the scenario you're talking about. Is, like, completely the opposite. But I think it still did save him because it was just his tire that went up on him.

[Ben]

Yeah. But I thought the whole thing is a wild situation. Like, it's like. Like this lame Corvette. And I bet the Corvette.

[Ryan]

Come on, man. Got put lame in front of it.

[Ben]

It was like.

[Mike]

It was lame.

[Ben]

You know, the guy was probably just like, very, very confused to see this fake cyber truck jumping off the side of his car.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Speaking about Corvettes, Ryan sent this video about to bring this up in the Snapchat group chat the other day of this guy hopping out of his Corvette. He's walking into Target or whatever, and he's just kitted out.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Ben]

I noticed it, and I saw Corvette merch. Yep, yep, Corvette merch. And I noticed it, and I saw CJ had commented on it, too. But back when I first got my C8, we went into Cormorant, and I found this guy driving a Corvette. And, like, my whole stick was, like. I was, like, kitted out in Corvette.

[CJ]

Like the stereotypical Corvette owner.

[Ben]

We're in the. We're in the New Balance shoes, the jeans shorts, and then a Corvette shirt. Right. Corvette hat and then the classic glasses. Poppable pick here.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And you have to wear that. Yeah, you have to do that when you're rolling around in the Corvette. Right. So I see this guy in C5, and I go up and I start pressing him like, hey, man, like, where's your Corvette merch? And he goes, I usually always wear it if I'm driving it. Like today, I just wasn't like. He was kind of, like, a little bit serious, a little bit flustered. Right. Because I was, like, pressing him on it. I was like, hey, I don't want to be. I don't want. I don't want to see you again if you're driving this car without Corvette merch on it. And he was like, you won't. You won't. And it was that guy in your video, and he sure enough was wearing the Corvette merch.

[Ryan]

I know he pulled. He pulled up right next to mine. We nosed up together. Corvette parking only over at the grocery store. And then we chatted for a little bit. We talked specs, we talked options.

[CJ]

So the manual.

[Ben]

How stock is yours? Oh, bone stock.

[Ryan]

We're both bone stock.

[Ben]

Tent.

[CJ]

No.

[Ben]

Yeah. Oh, you know a tent on it.

[Ryan]

Yeah. No tent. He kept it cherry, but he was going to buy. He had some. Something else he was gonna buy, but then he couldn't. But he found it with the torch. Red Interior, so he's pretty proud of that. But really nice guy, obviously wearing his Corvette merch.

[Ben]

I just thought it was funny. I was just like, I bet that dude thinks about that conversation of being pressed every time he pulls that Corvette shirt off and hops in his. Yeah. He looks around. He's like, I'm safe.

[Ryan]

Never goes anywhere without it.

[CJ]

I usually never go anywhere without the hat.

[Ben]

Yeah. At least the hat. Yeah. You know, he's got the hat sitting on the dash. That's so funny, that guy.

[Mike]

He's. He's.

[Ben]

He's a great dude.

[Ryan]

So I was hanging out with my college buddies this weekend. We talked about lots of random things. One of them I'm still working on is the top 100 songs of all time. But we talked about if any of us had went to jail or gotten arrested. None of us had, but we started.

[CJ]

Like, just us or.

[Ryan]

But amongst your crew, amongst the group of, like, you know, those guys. Like, hey, have any of you guys ever gotten arrested?

[CJ]

Keep in mind.

[Ryan]

No, no. I'm sure it probably did stem from that, but keep in mind they're doctors. And one of them texted. He's all, dude, I've been in the hospital for, like, 12 days straight. And my. My response was, oh, no, what happened? And he goes, just been working a lot. And I go, oh, yeah, I forget. I have smart friends that work in the hospital. So we went down this rabbit hole of, like, you know, people getting arrested. So he told this story about one of our mutual friends's younger brother got arrested on a Saturday morning. He's wearing a onesie, headed to a darty at college. Right. Gets pulled over, gets arrested, spends the entire weekend in jail. And I go, oh, no, that sucks. You know, waiting to hear the. You know, he was underage and had, you know, booze in the car. He might have had a Dewey, whatever, parking tickets. Had, like, a certain amount of und. Parking tickets that he didn't paid or hadn't paid. And he had a warrant out. Got arrested on a Saturday morning for unpaid parking tickets.

[CJ]

They were looking for him, or they just stopped him and realized that they.

[Ryan]

Stopped him, realized he had a warrant out.

[Ben]

Wow.

[Ryan]

Put him in the clink for the whole weekend.

[Ben]

I've never heard of that.

[Ryan]

I know. I didn't even know it was real.

[Mike]

Well, you know, that makes it kind of wild because that, I guess, could happen to Jake.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Like, Jake, he. He prided himself in getting parking tickets and not paying them. It don't matter.

[Ben]

It was such a flex.

[Mike]

Yeah, it was. And he had. I mean, I like, a lot. Like 37 or something. Like, that's a lot of parking tickets. Because some people are tripping about having, like, two.

[Ryan]

Well, yeah, because they're like 25 bucks. And you're in college. Adding all that up. Ridiculous.

[Mike]

What was.

[CJ]

Jake had that turf and money. He wasn't scared.

[Ben]

What was the thing that he did? He was always driving one of Dave's cars. Yeah.

[CJ]

So, like, never was traced back to him. So it didn't go on to his student account. So, like, in theory, it was just, like, maybe under days, probably hot.

[Ben]

Yeah. I hope he's not rolling around.

[Ryan]

Can you imagine, dude? Dave gets arrested for Jake's parking tickets, goes to jail. Oh, man, that would not be good for Jake.

[Mike]

It's just wild to think that that is possible.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I know. I couldn't believe.

[Ben]

How many parking tickets was it, you know?

[Ryan]

Yeah, apparently it wasn't that many. It was just the fact that he hadn't paid them. He was, like, a senior and he just got some parking tickets at some point through his collegiate career, and then he moved, so all the, like, notices were going to his other house. Never got him. Yeah. And I was like, damn, you can't pay out of that on the spot.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I'd be like, someone get over here with the $55 that I owe and let me stay out of jail for the weekend. Wow, that's pretty crazy.

[Mike]

I'll never understand, like, the government's lack of ability to just reach out. You know, they have all of our information on everything. So if you're, like, missing something, you know how, like, if you order a part from somewhere and, like, you. You put in an invalid address, they'll, like, call you one, two, three times. But, hey, sorry, you just put that order in. You know, they just need to get your correct information. But the government's just like, we'll just fire a letter out to that address that I think that might be right. And then maybe they'll fire another one out in a month or something. And then you're like, I wasn't getting those. And they're like, damn, well, you could have got arrested.

[CJ]

Yeah, I agree, dude. It's crazy to mail important information. Like, when you mail something important, it's like, it's so delayed. Like, just one of our storage units that we have. It's in, like, a. What do they call that? An hoa. So, like, everyone has to chip in to, like, pay to get it plowed and whatnot.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Oh, have we not been paying that.

[CJ]

Well, we get a bunch of. Of just basically fan mail here. And the. The deuce thing was in the fan mail.

[Ryan]

Oh.

[CJ]

So never got it. And then he sent another one. You know, it was just delayed. You know, there's just so much letters. By the time it came across my desk, I received both of them at, like, the same time, and I just went and wrote it. But then I.

[Mike]

Like.

[CJ]

Like, the guy had called me, and he was like, yo, like, what's going on? And I was like, I literally just actually mailed you a check. But, like, I just got it. Like, I'm sorry. Like, if you would have just called me, I would have got it done at the spot. But, like, just goes to show, like, especially if it was actually something super important, it's just not that it's kind of outdated.

[Ryan]

Okay?

[CJ]

Like, why don't you just email something with a. With a fucking link?

[Ben]

I mean, literally, this morning, I sent off a $10,000 check to our H Vac, the company that does all of our heating and plumbing. I was like, well, this seems, like, hopefully pretty unsafe.

[CJ]

Same with, like, your taxes. Like, when you write a check for your taxes, it's like. It's just like, well, I hope this makes it, because if it doesn't, that's. I'm going to have some repercussions.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

You know, like, they're going to think I went delinquent. I think I paid it, you know, so you have to keep an eye, make sure it goes out.

[Ben]

This one's kind of on me, but I have a tenant that sends my check for my rental to this shop. Oh, terrible. It's $1,000 a month. No idea where the last $3,000.

[Ryan]

No.

[Mike]

Still haven't found them. I figured that, like, Ken will.

[Ben]

Ken, every once in a while, will walk in and, like, throw me down, and I have one for. From, like, maybe May. And I'm like, all right, now where's the last three months?

[Ryan]

That sucks.

[CJ]

Well, that's basically what happened with the HOA stuff.

[Ryan]

I would like to say I got Ken headphones this time, and I would. There's a tripod right there for his camera.

[Ben]

Oh, now we got him a tripod. All right, we're one step closer.

[Ryan]

He's using the camera downstairs right now.

[CJ]

That's fair.

[Ben]

We got done with the last podcast, and I was like, ryan, seriously, I was kind of joking, but we. We really got to do something.

[Mike]

And then you verbatim said, I am going order you a camera. Ken, where's that camera, brother?

[Ben]

Well, we Got another one. We have. We do, yeah.

[Ryan]

Somebody's working with it.

[CJ]

So that's.

[Ken]

We got. We got the budget for the tripod.

[CJ]

I like to see the Samsung TV dude finally got that piece of fire TV out of here.

[Ryan]

And honestly, because of all these expenses, we probably need to cut through an ad right about now. That's fair.

[CJ]

That's fair. It's justified.

[Ryan]

So you guys talk about things getting lost in the mail. I ordered a new laptop. Geez, the podcast has really been spending money this week.

[Ben]

Oh, my. Wow. We're not gonna get paid for the next four years.

[Ryan]

So I ordered a laptop and it was supposed to come on Monday. I'm stoked, obviously, because, you know, get your new laptop. It's out for delivery and everything. And I work all day and I'm just gonna get it at the end of the day. So I walk down at 5 o' clock ready to open up my new laptop. Not here. Like, what the heck? That's weird. You know, our UPS guys are our friends now. I figured I wouldn't need to sign for it or somebody else would. And I look at it and it says, it's back on the truck. And there was an address change requested. And I was like, that's really weird. So I look into it and, you know, don't really think much of it, honestly. But I just messaged Apple and said, hey, my computer's out for delivery. It didn't like, can we get delivered again? And the support guy goes, oh, no. You said you're on a business trip so you wouldn't be able to receive it. So we sent it to the other address and I'm like, business trip? I never said anything like that. Turns out someone somehow intercepted my package, changed the address, and shipped it to, like, the hood in South Minneapolis.

[Ben]

Who's on the line for this?

[Mike]

I mean, what? Yeah, that'll buff, right?

[Ryan]

Yeah. So I then called. I called Apple. I'm like, yo, what the fuck's going on here? And they're like, I don't know. I've never seen this happen before. And I'm like, of course. Another thing that's never happened before happening to you.

[CJ]

Yeah, of course.

[Ben]

Hold on.

[Ryan]

I hate that excuse. I'll never tell anybody that.

[Ken]

I did talk to our UPS rep and he's like, with Apple products specifically, that's super cool.

[Ben]

I'm seeing. They're just like, yeah, yeah. So was that. Was that within ups?

[Ryan]

It was an Apple thing. They did it through Apple. So I looked back through my text and at like, 7pm on Friday, 95 degrees. They sent me a text and they were like, there's been an update to your order. But I figured it was just like, you know, oh, it's going to deliver a day earlier, it's going to deliver a day later.

[Ben]

What's the temperature have anything to do.

[Ryan]

With just like, oh, 7pm Friday.

[Mike]

Oh, I thought we just have to do that. So there I was, 11pm on a Sunday. 69 degrees, roughly.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

But yeah, anyway, I got it worked out with Apple. They're actually going to send that one back and then send me a fresh one.

[Ben]

Send what back?

[Ryan]

The computer. It never got delivered to that guy. I intercepted it.

[Ben]

Okay, that's good. Fuck.

[CJ]

That guy should go. Yeah, go over there.

[Ryan]

They were like, well, does he have it? And I was like, no. They're like, well, then he technically didn't steal it. And I was like, I asked the Apple guy go, what address is it going to? He sent me the address, so I.

[CJ]

Wonder how that guy got it.

[Ben]

No, maybe don't create an enemy with the podcast right now and have some guy from southern Minneapolis. Oh, Ken. Yeah. Yeah, Ken.

[Ryan]

Ken will take care of.

[Ben]

Stoked. When this guy shows up looking for Ryan, you probably will actually be pretty stoked. Like, send him with him too.

[CJ]

Yeah, Ryan's office is right there.

[Ken]

Oh, you're here for Ryan's shop tour.

[Ben]

Yeah, Ryan's shop tour, man, we've been hearing a lot of what's up with that, right? Everyone that shows up is like, hey, is Ryan here? No way.

[Mike]

Really?

[Ben]

He said to come on over for a shop tour. Really?

[CJ]

You're like the next Mark, dude.

[Mike]

It's always like, everyone. I just remember, like, last Friday, like, Fridays are.

[CJ]

I gave four tours last Friday to a T. Honestly.

[Mike]

And I know how we were, like, talking about how, like, oh, man, we don't get anything done on Fridays because.

[CJ]

These damn tours, everybody keeps showing up.

[Mike]

Yeah, I don't hate doing it. I genuinely enjoy doing it most times. But it was so funny because then you're like, are you here for so and so?

[CJ]

You're here for the 12 random person.

[Mike]

Going by another person?

[Ryan]

Did they say that I sent.

[Ben]

No.

[Ryan]

Okay, good. I was like, geez, I never tell anybody.

[Mike]

No, it was just. It was too good.

[CJ]

It was so, like, a friend of my girlfriend's dad came by and he was like, hey, like, you know, so and so these people are in town. They're really big fans.

[Ben]

They could.

[CJ]

Is there any way they could come over and get a tour? What am I going to tell them? Yeah, no, I'm.

[Ben]

Of course.

[CJ]

And that's just fine. Well, I'm expecting someone to be coming here for a tour. This kid and a guy come walking in. I'm like, oh, hey, how's it going? You know, thinking, this is them. Give them a full tour. Turns out they weren't the guys.

[Ben]

Next person shows up, oh, wait, who is?

[CJ]

You know, and then I do the thing again. And then my dad's friend came.

[Ryan]

You're like, wait, wait.

[CJ]

And before that, our aunt was here, and she wanted to see the place. So that made four on Friday. Last Friday.

[Ben]

And.

[CJ]

And that. I kind of just said, I think I'm. I'm good on the tours. Yeah, I think I'm good on the tour.

[Ben]

Okay. Who did you say that?

[Mike]

Can you imagine?

[Ben]

Can you imagine? Don't book any more tours for Friday.

[Mike]

C.J. saying that to. You know, just. Again, like, almost everyone.

[CJ]

Next time I'm gonna say, just show yourself around.

[Mike]

Nobody looks at him and goes, you know what? I think I'm good on the tours.

[Ben]

And then, oh, no, I'm good. It's like, all right, mtv, that's my crib. Now get the out. But I see J saying that maybe, like, Cribs. I don't know what that means.

[CJ]

Go check it out, dude.

[Ben]

MTV Cribs was one of the best shows.

[Mike]

Great show.

[Ben]

Yeah. Dude.

[CJ]

Did you know that they used to fake that, though?

[Ryan]

That wasn't really where the magic happen.

[CJ]

Well, sometimes not. Yeah.

[Ben]

Well, those cars. How about the cars on mt?

[CJ]

No.

[Ben]

So can you pull up, like, the craziest MTV cars?

[CJ]

But here's the deal, though. Like, you know, you're. Let's say you're a relevant rapper at that time, but maybe you weren't popping, like, you wanted people to think you were. They would, like, rent a house, rent a bunch of cars, and the house is insane. Yeah, they rent the house, and they'd rent the cars and have them all parked out and be like, yeah, this is my Lamborghini. So, like, everyone. Like, that happened more, like, quite a bit.

[Ben]

We probably figure out who did that.

[Mike]

Well, I feel like everything's.

[CJ]

I think there's a YouTube video where they expose, like, the people who did that.

[Mike]

Thank God, dude.

[CJ]

But obviously there was other people that were actually balling. Like, Shaq back in the day. He still is balling, but, like, that guy wasn't faking it because he's a basketball player. Yeah. And he was just balling at the base.

[Mike]

Now he's a EDM dj. And rapper.

[CJ]

Like he's always been famous. Why do you think he's so famous? Just because he's so big probably.

[Ben]

I mean he was good at basketball and that's who personality.

[CJ]

Yeah, he's just, he's just unique. I agree.

[Mike]

I actually just got some really good advice.

[Ryan]

What's that?

[Mike]

On financing.

[Ben]

Oh boy, here we go.

[Ken]

Money Mike's Finance.

[Mike]

If you take out a loan, you got to repay that shit.

[CJ]

Yeah, no shit.

[Mike]

That's as far as I know.

[Ben]

No, as far as the news went, bro. When. When did you find this out? Why didn't you tell us this earlier?

[Mike]

YouTube video.

[Ben]

What?

[Mike]

2009.

[Ben]

Oh my gosh. They were ahead of the. Yeah, head of the mike.

[Ken]

What if you take out another bigger loan to then repay that loan and then you just keep the cycle going.

[Ben]

Up and then, and then you start, you start a credit card to make your loan payment.

[Ryan]

Then you get the point.

[Mike]

Just watched, I just watched a movie where you. Well, I won't bore you guys with it, but the whole general idea of it was that you, you can take out like loans, but they, they can take your life, your years from you.

[Ben]

Oh, you have it in time. Yeah.

[Ryan]

In time.

[Mike]

Is that what it is?

[Ben]

Great movie.

[Mike]

Yeah, it was. No, it wasn't. That one. Is that the same when it's on.

[Ryan]

Their arm or screen?

[Mike]

Yes, that it's. Yeah, I have seen that one too, you're right. But yeah, it's just kind of like wild to think it's like they put their apartment up as like they got this crazy apartment and all this stuff and then they like put it up as collateral or the 40 years as collateral. So then they just like stole the chicks 40 years from her, gave it to someone else, whoever's compatible. And then she just turned old as hell and like died.

[Ken]

So if you sell the apartment then you get the 40 years back.

[Mike]

Yeah, but it like burned down in their insurance and do it. So she just had to give her 40 years up for nothing.

[Ryan]

Oh damn.

[CJ]

I'm in like a Lamborghini group on Facebook for like buying, selling, whatever. This guy, Lamborghini.

[Ben]

I'm not sure if you're qualified to be. I don't own, but at one point.

[CJ]

I was considering buying one anyways. I just am scrolling Facebook on a Sunday. I see this guy and he's like posts on there about trying to find a lender for like a 20 or 30 year loan for him to buy a Lamborghini.

[Ryan]

Oh man.

[CJ]

Holy. He was getting flamed. I couldn't believe that he even had the nuts to write that. I'm like, listen to what you're writing. Listen to what you're writing, man. Type them back. What do you do? No, I didn't say shit. I don't own a Lamborghini. I don't have much grounds to stand on. I don't. Something you guys do is that common in your community? No, I mean the 30 year loan shit.

[Ben]

I've never heard of a. I've never heard of a 30 year loan, but I know that maybe it was 10 or 20. It was a long time finance like a crazy long time on like a exotic. Like that.

[CJ]

That's the dumbest I heard you could.

[Ben]

Drag, man saying that. Because I'm sure people are constantly talking to that guy about cars and he was like, yeah, people are like, I want to say financing like 15 year loans.

[CJ]

Yeah, maybe that's what it was. It might have been 20, but it was just.

[Ben]

That is crazy. It's like a house. Yeah, no, that's going to be worth nothing. But it's just a bad investment.

[CJ]

You're going to pay, you're going to pay for that thing probably like four times over in interest and all that.

[Mike]

Even I just saw real the other day. It was like this kind of hood looking chick, she. She was the saleswoman and she's selling a hellcat or whatever it was and she's like, I just got him in a Hellcat, $500 down, a thousand bucks a month for 84 months. 84 months is seven years.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's super common.

[Mike]

Hellcats or. Yeah, maybe it wasn't. I don't know what it was, but basically it was like. I don't even think it was like a $50,000.

[CJ]

Rolled off with a fucking hellcat.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I don't know. Sounds like he won to me.

[CJ]

Yeah, dude beat the shit out of that. You don't care about your credit. Like what do they got?

[Ben]

Disappeared.

[Ken]

Loan term is pretty common for a lot of cars in that price range.

[Ryan]

Interesting.

[Ken]

Even then, like that's a lot of interest to compound.

[Mike]

I don't know anything though. But I do know if you take out a loan, you gotta repay that.

[Ben]

Dude Money Mike, he's buying all that cash, two grand for that, that Gold Wing cash. 1500 bucks for that water truck cash.

[Ryan]

Because you got a line of credit.

[Mike]

That water truck was three grand.

[CJ]

Mike. Imagine if you did like a collab with Dave Ramsey, you know that financial guy, Money Mike and Dave Ramsey, some tells me.

[Mike]

Oh yeah, I think that'd be A great collab.

[Ryan]

That'd be a real showdown.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Because like Mike, I could teach him.

[Mike]

A thing or two.

[CJ]

Right.

[Mike]

And he could teach me a thing or two. Some tells me he's talked to a lot people, a lot of people financially stupider than I am.

[Ben]

So the thing about Dave Ramsey is he preaches do not live outside your means. Right? Yeah.

[Ryan]

Which makes sense.

[Ben]

Is a great message to preach. Right. And he always says, pay for everything in cash and don't have any debt. Right. Be debt free. Right. He's like big, like be debt free guy. But it just depends how you look at debt. Like if you have like a, a debt on a rental property that gives you cash flow. Right. It makes sense. Like if you make a little bit more than to cover that, but if you're taking an 84 month loan out on a vehicle that you couldn't afford in the first place, then you're just constantly, you're just setting yourself back and then you do that five times. Like it makes sense. Right? So like the message that he preaches does make sense for most people, but it's like that's not how everyone. It's like, debt is not a bad thing unless you're a fucking idiot.

[Mike]

Yeah. Being a firm believer in the like never have debt.

[Ben]

No, I think like, are you supposed.

[Ryan]

To have a water truck?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

How the fuck is $1500 water?

[Mike]

I mean, just like, honestly, straight up, how the hell are you supposed to buy a house without like having debt? I know he's not saying like buy your houses in cash and all this, but like owning a house today for 99% of people is that.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I mean, yeah. So like his big thing is like pay it off. So I don't think it's like, don't take out a loan or get in. I have heard that house is. But it's like pay it off.

[Mike]

Yeah, but like Bailin Levine, dude, he's like my favorite part. Bail Levine, YouTuber, he's young. He's like, I'm watching a video and he's like, I bought this house, cash, I saved up. And obviously he's making good money on YouTube and good friends and that. But he's like, I don't. I never have debt. And I was like, I mean, that's sick to do. But like.

[Ben]

So I think the, the reason, I. I'm assuming the reason Bailin Levine is saying that or like Danny Duncan used to say this too is like, if you don't have a lot of job security where you're not confident that, like, you're going to be producing the same income in five. In five years or in one year or next month like that, then. Yeah. You don't want to have debt, especially in, like, our line of work. Right.

[Ryan]

For sure.

[Ben]

You know, and that's. That's how you. You don't get yourself into a bad situation.

[Mike]

Into a pickle, Rick. Don't want to be in a pickle.

[Ryan]

Shifting gears a little bit. We're doing heydays this year.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Ryan]

I feel like we gotta. We've been going to heydays. I've been going. Ken and I have been going to heydays since we were legit children.

[Ken]

I was probably about 10 first time I went there.

[Mike]

Yeah, it was. That was fun. I mean, you guys have been going for a long time. Like, we've been going a lot longer than we went as a group, but I think that's the plan. Ryan. It's like. It's funny that, like, snowmobile expo in the middle of a field in kind of a very small town in Minnesota is our biggest meetup by far.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's true.

[Ben]

I saw that video that you sent in the group chat yesterday of when we're standing in the back of that truck doing the pit bike giveaway and the crowd of people and, dude, it's just so lit.

[Ryan]

It's so fun.

[Ben]

That's like, one of my favorite moments of the year every year.

[CJ]

Right.

[Ben]

Because it's like, obviously you see the numbers or the people, you know, online, right. But until they're, like, in front of you. Yeah. Then it kind of clicks of like, oh, man. Like, a lot of people are, you know, love what we're doing. And when you have, like, a crowd like that, and then you're crowd surfing and you're throwing out merch, and everyone's very like, dude, it's just like. It's like the ultimate dopamine hit.

[CJ]

Besides resumes, it's our only meetup we do.

[Ryan]

That's true, actually.

[Mike]

We're pretty.

[Ben]

Meetups for us are a little difficult, though, because, like, we have such a crew.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

It's like. It just makes everything that much harder when there's, like, six of us and the photo's got to be photos farther, and then you got signatures six times as long, and then you like, six people to talk to, and it's just.

[Mike]

Which. Even though that might sound small, it is like, that is a big deal. Like, the whole, like, because you want.

[Ben]

To give them a grab, a quick.

[Mike]

Signature from you, there's no such thing as a quick signature from all six of us. Six people.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Because if, like, if I were to meet Travis Pastrana, you know, I would want to. I would want to get a good experience. Right. So you always think, you know, with. If these people are big enough fans to want to meet you in person, you want to give them. Yeah. You want to leave them with a. A good experience and, you know, not boot them out the door when they get tours. I think. I think I'm done with tours.

[CJ]

I've never done that. But we don't. We don't do tours. We don't.

[Ben]

We don't.

[CJ]

But those are just Marcel favors.

[Ryan]

Yeah. That's why I'm really excited for it. So it'll be fun. Get everybody out there. We did move spots this year. I'll put up the map. They even put us. We got our local.

[Mike]

It's over by the. The mud pit.

[Ben]

Yep.

[Mike]

I'm excited for the new spot on.

[Ryan]

September 7th and 8th.

[Mike]

It's bigger.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Bigger spot this year. More space. We'll bring down all of, like, our different toys and different types of contraptions and how.

[Mike]

We might even bring Evan.

[Ryan]

We might. Just kidding. Evan will obviously be there.

[Mike]

I think. I think this year around, Evan and I are going to stay on Sunday.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[CJ]

We're hearing.

[Ben]

Three days isn't enough.

[Mike]

Three days, Friday, Saturday. No. Well, I mean, we would just leave Monday morning, but, like, Sunday. Is this always. We just like to be a part of the whole experience. And, like, I don't like leaving early on Sunday or, like, even midday on Sunday. Like last year, we stayed, like, all day on Sunday and we're like, dude, this is when all, like, the vendors and like, athletes and people that are still hanging, that we get to finally, like, actually hang out.

[Ryan]

Yeah. After the chaos of Saturday a little bit. I mean, I feel you.

[Mike]

And gosh dang, is Saturday chaotic. Man, talk about, like, over stimulation, you know? I mean, in a good.

[Ryan]

In a good way.

[Mike]

And we don't get over stimulated easy.

[Ryan]

Such a good time. But yeah, bring your dad, bring your mom. Walk around the event a little bit. Come see us. Be a good time. We're giving away an E Ride pro.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Pretty excited about that. There's.

[Mike]

There's always good stuff to buy.

[CJ]

See, this is why you need a pickup, Mike.

[Ben]

This is why you need a pickup.

[CJ]

You're not gonna be able to put a bike or a snowmobile or multiple bikes in the back of your Bronco.

[Ryan]

Bronco.

[Mike]

I'm not even taking that.

[Ben]

Are you going to go and hit the swaps?

[Mike]

I would love to. That's another thing is, like, when we go there for this big event, like, my favorite part was going into the swaps and buying shit. And now we don't get to do that as much, so. But then also. So Sunday is a good time for it because, like, everyone's not trying to go home with their shit.

[Ryan]

So, like, oh, that's when you get the deal.

[Mike]

Also, like, everything's.

[Ben]

Maybe just bring them to you.

[Ken]

It's when Mike. Money Mike can be off the leash.

[Ryan]

There's a whole.

[Ken]

All the stuff.

[Ryan]

There's a whole train of people pulling into the shop on Monday, dropping off.

[Ben]

Yeah, Mike is standing stuff. All right, what do you got next?

[Mike]

You know, it's pretty all right.

[Ben]

I'm trying to sell you these 1997 Indy 500 skis. Okay. I could probably use those someday.

[CJ]

We might have a cheap sled that we'll need to put them on.

[Ken]

I think I got space sport in the back.

[Ben]

Really?

[Mike]

Dude, I'm sponsored, bro. I don't need skis.

[CJ]

Yeah, you don't need them. Cna.

[Mike]

You know, it's actually funny. Is that, like. So our buddy Adam Peterson and his. He has a crew.

[Ben]

Yeah. I lost my appendix because of him. Yeah.

[Mike]

Really?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Oh, wow.

[Ben]

Right into that.

[Mike]

Another time. Or maybe not.

[CJ]

What?

[Mike]

I mean, I know you've told the story. I just didn't.

[Ben]

I blocked. Last time I hung out with Adam Pearson, I blacked out. Not actually blacked out, but we. Dude, the guy just boozes so hard, and I was just hanging.

[CJ]

Him and his friends were boozing. It was a special. I don't want to make it sound like he's boozing like a maniac all the time. It was just. It was a big event. He had his whole crew with them. That was boozing. Look, man, you just had to win.

[Ben]

Look, I got my appendix taken out the next day. You know, I texted him after.

[CJ]

I was just like, your appendix failed? That's what you probably should lead in.

[Mike]

And he just hits you with the deep end. Chain line. Blame it on the alcohol. I don't know. But, like, you probably could.

[Ben]

No, he's just like, sorry to hear that, man. I was like, it's all good, dude. I am not holding it against you, but my appendix will not forgive you because it's gone.

[Ryan]

What do you.

[CJ]

Well be hearing from Ben's lawyer.

[Ryan]

What are you going to do this year?

[Ben]

Probably hopefully avoid them. I'm gonna have to. I Don't have many things in my body left to give them, dude. I want to hang out, but I literally can't.

[CJ]

You got two kidneys.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You could give up a kidney.

[Ben]

Yeah, I might. Might have to. Might have to.

[Ken]

A little bit of your liver.

[Ben]

It was fun, though, dude. Gosh, so fun, dude. We were at this one, like, campground, and we. One of his buddies had a taser, and we found this old guy that was just liquored up enough that he was just taking the taser, like, anywhere on his body. I think it on his tongue, like, on his finger. Like, he was just, like, tasing himself anywhere.

[Ryan]

Do you still have that taser? Taser scare me, dude.

[CJ]

I think I do. Or I might have gave it to Alex.

[Mike]

Did I go Amazon? Tasers, like, don't even hurt.

[Ben]

They don't.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

We had it on the podcast in the past. We tased each other. Not bad.

[Mike]

Like. Yeah, especially if you're drunk. Like, they don't do much. They're not gonna stop anyone. Let's just say that.

[Ben]

Dude, I got zapped with it once.

[Mike]

It hurts.

[Ben]

It hurts.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I was like, I don't know where.

[Ben]

Like, I wasn't trying to take it.

[Mike]

It's not gonna, like, stop you from advancing.

[CJ]

Yeah. If you're robbing a house, that ain't. It ain't stopping you.

[Mike]

But anyway, I think that for a.

[Ben]

Girl, the best thing is pepper spray.

[Ryan]

How about a Glock 9?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

A gun. I don't.

[Ben]

I don't know if you might pull.

[CJ]

It on the wrong person.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I. I think that sometimes, you.

[CJ]

Know, Alex, I get her a gun. Not supposed to be home.

[Ryan]

You're blocking a night.

[CJ]

Coming home early or. Yeah, I randomly breaking in.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Mike shows up at the house, Boom, shoot some bad, bad deal. But if Alex pepper sprays Mike, that's a funny deal.

[Ben]

Now we got.

[CJ]

Like, that's, like, a good job, baby. Like, that's a funny story. Even Mike's kind of like, yeah, it's pretty funny. Yeah, but it was funny. You know, we're talking about that forever. That's the difference between pepper spraying a gun.

[Ryan]

I'm surprised Ken doesn't have that automated, like, at the ring doorbell. Like, if you ring the doorbell after 10pm.

[Ben]

That's.

[Mike]

That sounds like a lot.

[Ken]

That's a good idea. Look into that.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you should get that.

[CJ]

And I'm not. I'm not against guns.

[Ben]

I'm not against.

[CJ]

Exactly.

[Mike]

If I knew that someone had that, I would do it and then sue them.

[Ken]

No, I'm I would not like door to door salesman. Just. Nah, I don't like this guy. Pepper spray him.

[Mike]

Oh yeah. If you can choose. That's different.

[Ryan]

But ring with pepper spray.

[Ben]

Do you guys get hit with door to door salesman's often?

[CJ]

I'm never home, so I would never know.

[Ben]

Yeah, same. I was gonna say I've never gotten anyone because I'm. I'm never home. Never home. Like, my girlfriend's little brother did like pest control sales. He was knocking on like 250 doors a day.

[Ryan]

Wow. How many?

[Ben]

No, he had one of those seg. All of them. Like, dude, maybe maybe one or two sales a day. Maybe. But like, dude, I. I occasionally high rejection rate.

[Ken]

I occasionally see somebody like ring the doorbell at our house, but nobody's ever home.

[Mike]

That would be tough, dude. So I. I just thought of this today. Ben, when I was driving through Holly, Ben and I, when we had the screen printer, we were like hustling trying to get some more jobs. We made some like business cards. Yeah. We just wanted some extra money. We were already printing shirts. So we went into a bunch of different businesses. But I just remember the one we went into Davis Tire and I remember.

[Ben]

That you must have solo man. That one.

[Mike]

Yeah, we not. I mean we were together, but it was just awkward and I. I didn't even F it up. I was just like, hey guys. Yeah, like, I didn't say anything weird. I'm like, you got your crew here, so we screen print stuff and we can get your whole crew a bunch of T shirts for cheap. And obviously the more you do, cheaper they'll be. And then they're just like, what? And then we're like, well, we could print shirts for you guys. And then I'm like, I could get the art ready or like you making a new design. And then they're just like, well, we already have like this guy that does it for us. And we're like, okay, well what's. What is. What are his prices? And then they're just like, you know, we don't feel comfortable telling you that we're not gonna like just cross them over and go with you guys. And we're like, all right, all right.

[Ben]

Wow.

[Mike]

Yeah, we don't want you guys business. And then I just realized that door to door salesman shit is not for me.

[Ben]

So.

[Mike]

Yeah. So I couldn't handle like, I was fine, but like, I was just like.

[Ryan]

Out of my shop.

[Mike]

That was not fun at all. Like, like time we went to that.

[CJ]

One dealership trying to sell their race products. Same thing. Yeah, that was.

[Ben]

Yeah, that was terrible. What about the one time when we walked into heat transfer warehouse? So there's this place that, like, sells these heat transfers. And what a heat transfer is is when it's, like, on this sheet, and then you heat press it down on. Do a T shirt, right? So we were trying to figure out how to do that.

[Ryan]

So obviously.

[Ben]

So obviously we went to our local heat transfer warehouse that sells that shit, right? And we thought that it was going to just be, like a store, that storefront that sold it, right? And you walk in and buy some of it and be like, hey, all right, so how do I do this? Right? Well, we walk in and it's like, cubicles, okay? We open up and we're like, is.

[Ryan]

That like a warehouse?

[Ben]

We're like, where's the.

[CJ]

In order to get in, we, like, buzz in, right? And they, like. Like a person comes to the door and they're like.

[Ben]

So we walk. We walk in, right? Expecting this to be like a storefront where you could buy this stuff. And there's just cubicles everywhere, like, right? So cubicles only go up to, like, right here. And then you just. And then you just see heads pop up out of the cubicles, right?

[Ryan]

You 3D is standing there like this.

[Ben]

So we're standing there and we're like. And the person was like, what can I do for you? Like, why are you at, like, our office? And Mike just goes, we. We're looking for some tips on, like.

[Mike]

How to heat transfer that was said with less context. There was other words that led up to that.

[Ben]

But, yeah, we're just. We're just. We're looking for some.

[Mike]

I think I was like, yeah, and.

[Ben]

Keep in mind, there's still, like, five heads in each cubicle, like, popped up watching us. And we're just standing there. Yeah, we're looking for some tips for YouTube channel making.

[Mike]

Sure. Yeah, we're, like, making shirts, and they.

[Ben]

Are like, what do you mean, tips? And I think Mike doubled down again. You know, no tips. Nope. He transferred tips. You got tips.

[Mike]

I did not double down.

[Ben]

They're like, stupid. What are you talking about? About tips? No, to. To this day, we still laugh about it. Yeah, we still go, hey, I'm looking for some tips.

[Mike]

Like, dude, yeah. Randomly, it's. You gotta love a good inside joke. You know, someone orders, like, steak tips or something.

[Ben]

Like, oh, you want. The worst part for me was that.

[CJ]

There was, like, this guy that was working there that was, like, a few years older than me that played hockey. So Like, I kind of always. You know, I was used to just upperclassmen. No, but, like, he was just, oh.

[Mike]

He went to your school.

[CJ]

Cooler than me and. But older and all this, and. And now we're, like, doing this thing. I see him in there, and then we're just. We just basically walked into his business unannounced. Like, not his business, but he was working there. He was like, what the Was that guy?

[Ben]

Dude, Pretty much.

[CJ]

And especially during that time, we were really just.

[Ben]

It.

[CJ]

No one really understood we were doing. He ought to be like, that guy is a idiot.

[Ben]

It'd be like somebody showing up to our shop, walking in and be like, hey, I'm looking to start a YouTube channel.

[CJ]

Yeah, I'm trying to be a competitor. I was wondering if you could help me out.

[Ben]

Kind of just like. If I was in that moment of, like, opening up the door, I'd maybe just. Ah, God, it's tough, because what would you do? It's kind of.

[Ryan]

You're not gonna kick them out. How do they. You know? You could have been the bosses.

[Ben]

Because straight up, the person that talked to us was probably just, like, worked in marketing. They probably didn't even know what the hell they were even selling.

[Mike]

They're really, like, straightforward about it. They're like, oh, like, what? I think you're mistaken here. Like, that's not.

[Ryan]

They're like, this is. This is a heat transfer warehouse, not tips.

[Mike]

But then I was confused. They're like, yeah, no, if you want heat transfers, go online and we'll ship them to you.

[Ben]

All right.

[Mike]

Shuffle it out the door. All right.

[Ryan]

So funny.

[Ben]

Okay.

[CJ]

Okay.

[Ryan]

I want to find, like, an about.

[Mike]

I remember.

[CJ]

You're at the wrong. You're at the wrong spot. The tip center is down that way.

[Mike]

I found all the business cards that we made, all the things that we said we could do.

[Ben]

Yeah, dude, you gotta fake it till you make it.

[Ryan]

That was a fun time.

[Mike]

That was really kind of trying to figure.

[Ryan]

I mean, not, like, fun, fun, let's do it again fun, but fun fun that it was good to have gone through.

[Ben]

So we get this screen printer, and we were trying to, like, make some bread because we didn't have other jobs, and we were broke, and so we were trying to screen print for some other people. And I knew this kid that, like, had this, like, hat brand, and I was like, yo, we can print you guys some T shirts. And I think it was like, there's like, 40 T shirts, I want to say. So Mike made up the art. We burned the screens. And we print the T shirts. And I like, send him a picture of the T shirts. And I was like, all right, they're done if you want to come and pick them up. And he was like, you guys put formed in 2017. Like 17 as in like the year with, like, the hash mark. And instead it's 17ft. So it looks like, like, formed in 17ft versus formed in 17.

[Ryan]

17. It was after instead of.

[Ben]

Yeah, it was after instead of in front or vice versa.

[Ryan]

Yeah, whatever.

[Ben]

Still stupid.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I remember responding like, oh, shoot, do you still want to buy them? And he was like, no, I mean, I prefer if you guys just fixed them. And I. I was.

[Mike]

And for us, we were like, we gotta eat all this.

[Ben]

We had to eat all the eating. We were just right back to where we started. Just did a bunch of work, like.

[Mike]

Eating the 40 shirts. But even, like, the ink, we're like, we use like half our jug of white ink for those.

[Ben]

You figured that out.

[Ryan]

God, that was funny.

[Mike]

We. I mean, I think we would have expected the same out of whoever we had, you know?

[CJ]

Can't blame the guy.

[Ben]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, it's just. Yeah, it's how it's.

[Mike]

Man, there's nothing worse than making a spelling error on the computer that comes to life on a T shirt with cured ink. Like, there's just nothing worse.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

You know, with those gambling cups we had made.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, the dice.

[CJ]

Dice rolling cups.

[Mike]

I just like. Yeah, I think I took a. I took a box of them and shoved them all up my ass. Really?

[Ken]

Yeah, they're actually in the storage unit.

[Ben]

Are they?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think we kept them.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[CJ]

We can't sell them.

[Mike]

I kept a box that are in the barn and then I. I have a box.

[Ken]

I think we threw away, like, probably half of them.

[CJ]

What did that kind of.

[Ben]

What did you say on it again?

[Mike]

Today's your lucky day. But I spelled lucky wrong.

[CJ]

So they were like these like, like custom made dice rolling cups. Yeah. So it happens.

[Ben]

It does happen to the best of us. I up in the video yesterday.

[Mike]

Well, I think that's actually like. So when you guys. Now at this point, when you make a spelling error. Also, there's a couple. I saw another one.

[Ben]

Oh, one was mine. One wash. One was.

[Mike]

It was like.

[CJ]

I saw that.

[Ben]

I saw that watching the video back to. But it was whatever.

[Mike]

But it's like when you guys make a spelling error, it's like. Honestly, it's kind of funny.

[Ben]

Dude, Just chalk it up. Chalk it up to just getting the video out in time. Yeah, because captions are the last thing that we do.

[Mike]

And if you accidentally.

[Ben]

I'm so stupid.

[CJ]

Stupid.

[Ben]

I don't know how to spell. And I really don't know how to spell when I'm under like a time crunch.

[Mike]

No. So when you like make spelling errors, that is just like actually funny. It's almost like when you accidentally add like an extra letter.

[Ben]

Well, I think it's funny when CJ makes a spelling error because I read it back how he would say certain things and I'm like, oh, no. I think he actually just spelled this how he spell wrong.

[Ryan]

What?

[Ben]

I spelled wrong?

[Mike]

No, but it just did so many things. But like, I don't have a good example. So what?

[CJ]

I spell wrong?

[Mike]

I don't know. But I'm never letting Ben live down the zoomies thing. I'm never.

[Ryan]

Where did I do.

[Ben]

Oh, I did that in the hoonicorn video.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah. So unfortunate because I so wrong. I spelled zoomies wrong. And we had like finalized our zoomies deal at the time and I was like, oh, I really hope they don't see this.

[Mike]

And at the end of the day it's just funny.

[Ben]

And.

[Mike]

But then when I do it, there's.

[Ben]

Not two M's and zoomies. But who would have known?

[Mike]

No, wait, what? No, you spelled bro.

[Ben]

Oh, no, I. I know I didn't have an.

[Mike]

Our cat is getting zoomies. Z, O, O, M, I.

[Ben]

No, no, no, no, no. That's how you spelled it. No, no, no.

[Mike]

That's how you spelled it.

[Ryan]

Zummies.

[Ben]

He had. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how Zummy. Z, U, M, M, I was it I, E, S at the end of it.

[Ryan]

Zummies.

[Ben]

Yeah, whatever, Whatever. I'll stand by it. Dude, I'm a terrible speller, but I've.

[Mike]

Never claimed you guys make spelling errors. Then it's like, like we're not like out any money.

[Ryan]

Not a plug. But like, just get Grammarly. It's free.

[Mike]

Works everywhere in Final Cut. Yeah, I have Grammarly and it doesn't.

[Ryan]

Work in Final Cut. I think you have to accept it into the thing.

[Mike]

Yeah, no, but I do use Grammarly for emails and it saves my ass.

[Ken]

It's just wild. It's 2024 and that's still not just a built in feature.

[Ryan]

I think it's just a way of just keeping things real.

[Ben]

You know, it's us idiots behind the keys.

[Ryan]

Yeah. If you see a spelling error, just read it in how Ben or CJ would say it. I think that's probably the funniest way that you could.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Or like, really take and, you know.

[Mike]

Comment on it or not. Like, it's not gonna change.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So yeah.

[Ryan]

I can't change it in post. The funniest one was when Evan was freaking laughing at Micah so hard.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And that was gibberish. You guys nailed that.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like, that was spelling.

[Ben]

Yeah. I was pretty proud of that.

[Ryan]

Dialed on, dude.

[Ben]

And that one was just a last. Like, I'm doing the final once over and I'm just like, what does he say here? And I'm like, trying to figure out what he said.

[CJ]

I straight up still to the still couldn't.

[Ben]

Dude. I do not know what he said. I don't know what he said. And so I just typed out what I thought that he said and it was, haha. He shot Kong.

[Ryan]

That boy.

[Ben]

Do you guys know who Dex Flame is? Yeah.

[Mike]

Ax Flame.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Dax.

[Ben]

Dax Flame.

[Mike]

I am very familiar with him. And he. He's.

[Ben]

You think he's funny?

[Mike]

Yes.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. No.

[Mike]

Yes, I do. But like, dude, not really. Not a lot of people get his humor. And also there's.

[CJ]

I can't tell if he's. If he's acting, then he's funny. If he's not acting, then I don't think he's that funny.

[Ben]

No, it's. He's acting. He's acting, I feel like. But I'm just trying to figure out Bobby together. Yeah, that would go pretty funny. I'm just trying to figure out just like, what that type of humor is. It's like, extremely dry. And I'm just trying to figure out, like, the type of people that. That actually think that's funny.

[CJ]

Pop a video for him so we can reference it.

[Mike]

Yeah. And I would say, like, so his, like, skits or whatever you want to call him, his reels. Like, some of them I find very funny.

[Ben]

Some of them, like, I could see you in Sydney sending them back and forth.

[Mike]

Yeah, we enjoy them.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

But then when he was on the Bad Friends podcast, kind of more natural, but he's still kind of in character. That, to me, was very fun.

[CJ]

How do you know he's in character?

[Ben]

I don't.

[CJ]

I think that's just how he is. Cj, that's literally just kind of.

[Mike]

You're aware of people that are like that on Tick Tock and reels. Like, no one actually knows. That's their whole shtick.

[CJ]

Yeah, exactly.

[Mike]

Don't actually know if they're in character or not.

[Ben]

I mean, I respect the hustle. Obviously he's doing something right.

[Ryan]

I'm gonna play the one that has 8 million views because it's got to be the most globally funny.

[Ben]

If I ever got. If I ever saw a bear, the first thought I would have is, oh, no. And if it attacked me, I would think, oh, God. And meanwhile, the only thing the bear is thinking is, dinner time. I could really go for some donuts. I could use some donuts right now.

[CJ]

Yeah, totally fake.

[Ryan]

This is.

[Mike]

Yes. Yes.

[CJ]

You know, that. That guy, dude, he's got to be. It's 100%.

[Mike]

I don't know why you're.

[CJ]

I. Well, I watched this podcast with him and on Impulsive, and I kind of just assumed that he wasn't doing his chick. I thought there was something maybe wrong with him and, you know, or not wrong with him, but he just was a little odd.

[Ryan]

Different about it.

[CJ]

Anyways, now that clearly proves it. But you know that he was in Project X. Yeah, yeah. So you know how they kept going, like, I don't really know if they show him except for like maybe one.

[Mike]

Shot and 21 jump street.

[CJ]

But yeah, he was like the camera dude. That's like, you know, because they.

[Ben]

They video.

[CJ]

The whole movie's kind of like.

[Ryan]

He was the camera guy in Project X.

[CJ]

He shot it. Well, yeah, kind of like a home video type of vibe. Like some high schooler students.

[Mike]

What?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

That's crazy.

[CJ]

But he was an OG YouTuber, so, like, he was like one of the early YouTubers. And then, you know, Project X came out in like 2011 or 2012, and he was.

[Mike]

He was able to kind of went.

[CJ]

Into the mainstream for a little bit.

[Mike]

Now he's going back on the Bad Friends podcast. I just remember him saying he's like, yeah, I was able to live off that for like five and a half years or whatever it was, and now I got to get back into it. I'm like, that's not gonna make really odd that you, like, didn't. But also, social media Wasn't big from 2010 to 2015.

[Ben]

Was Project X a real party?

[Ryan]

No, I thought it was based.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Australian. Yeah, look it up. There's like a. I think they did a news video on it. Like an Australian high schooler did it.

[Ryan]

The guy with the nipple ring.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

In the pool, right?

[CJ]

You gotta watch that. I. I gotta watch that back.

[Ben]

Crazy movie, dude.

[CJ]

Project X was a great movie.

[Ben]

It was.

[CJ]

I wonder how many people, like, inspired to basically be bad kids, you know, because that came out when I was a ninth grader and Someone tells me.

[Mike]

Now, if you came out with that movie, it wouldn't be like, yeah, it.

[Ben]

Was just different times.

[CJ]

Different times. But I remember me and, like, my three buddies, we went to it and we had been driven there by his dad in the car and even picked up by his dad in the car. And it was like us three kind of, like, sitting there and we, like, watched it and we just, like, left. We're like, God damn. Like, we're not cool. Like, we're not cool. We gotta start partying.

[Ken]

Yeah. It says it's loosely based on a 2008 party in Australia.

[CJ]

Yeah, pull that up. They have the interviews right here.

[Ben]

Are you sorry? Yeah. Yeah, I am. You don't sound very sorry. Well, I can't be exactly blamed for anything that happened because it wasn't in the house.

[Mike]

It was out in the street, and.

[Ben]

I didn't do it.

[Mike]

Like, why don't you take your glasses off so we can see you and then apologize to your neighbors?

[Ryan]

It's kind of like, mike, dude.

[Ben]

Is that guy real? It seems.

[Ryan]

It doesn't look very real.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[CJ]

Why would they ever interview a guy with his shirt off like that? But also, there's different times maybe. I don't know.

[Ben]

Well, it's also Australia.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's Australia and reporters and news. Women and men are there. There are different. Different. They're like, a little more blunt.

[CJ]

Yeah, no, I mean, maybe it's real, but that one throws me for a loop, you know?

[Ben]

I gotta watch that movie, dude.

[CJ]

So the one dude that was in it, that's like the bad kid that kind of, like, brings everyone down and, like, gets his friend to start the party. He's, like, making, like, a YouTube video and he's trying to bring, like, Project X2 to life. Like a. Like, another one. But, like, it's not happening.

[Ryan]

Interesting.

[Ben]

Surprising that people wouldn't be down for that.

[Ken]

That guy's only 33 today.

[Ben]

Which one?

[Ken]

Australian kid.

[CJ]

Wait, so you can find him?

[Ken]

Yeah, it's. His name is Corey Worthington.

[CJ]

What's he doing?

[Ken]

There's nothing on him for a while.

[Ben]

Really?

[Ken]

He's 33.

[Ben]

He's not partying anymore.

[Ken]

So he's probably like, what, 16?

[CJ]

Had it been in high school.

[Ryan]

He's still posting reels, not pulling the views. I say, how do you. How do you show, project and then disappear?

[Ken]

Oh, he looks rough.

[CJ]

Yeah, that's what partying at the age of 16 will do to you kids.

[Ryan]

He does look a lot older than 33.

[CJ]

Yeah, he didn't age. Well, what's he doing?

[Ryan]

He's on Ninja Warrior.

[Mike]

No way.

[CJ]

What?

[Ben]

That is so random.

[Ryan]

That is random.

[Ben]

Imagine your whole career getting kickstarted off of just throwing a party.

[Ryan]

Kind of like us, dude. We do that slip and slide, never look back.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah, it's true.

[Mike]

That along with, you know, the shifter cart video that blew up.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I mean, kind of true, but.

[Mike]

No, but I'm saying, like, on YouTube, but, like, in the local area.

[Ryan]

There we go.

[Mike]

There was some news coverage, I believe.

[Ben]

Oh, that's Gosh, that's funny. Boys make the community wet.

[Ryan]

God, that's a great headline. I cannot believe. And then the guy went, those little fellas sure look like they had a great time.

[Ben]

Oh, my gosh.

[CJ]

Don't have that.

[Ben]

I do.

[Ryan]

I have it on my phone somewhere.

[CJ]

Funny.

[Ben]

Just pull up the. The headline. How many times do you think we've been on the news?

[CJ]

Pretty good number.

[Ben]

10 times, maybe. Yeah. At least for Ken's campaign. The news came out and interviewed him here, and he was like, yeah, we're gonna. You know, this will be on tonight. And, like, we're pretty. Pretty aware of, you know, a quick turnaround time, but I think I got it.

[Ken]

Oh, no, not supported.

[Mike]

You're not supported. Really? You didn't win.

[CJ]

Sorry.

[Ken]

I did three interviews for that. For that election.

[Ryan]

Wow. How many dogs do.

[Ken]

Well, I did that one beforehand.

[Ben]

My God.

[CJ]

Yeah, that one's 2017.

[Ryan]

Summer is just starting to teens build.

[Mike]

Giant slip and slide.

[CJ]

Are we supposed to read this out loud or just silently?

[Ryan]

No, I was just gonna see if there's anything.

[Ben]

I was gonna start reading it out loud, but I didn't. Realistic for not being able to read.

[CJ]

Well, yeah, if anyone's supposed to be reading, it'd be one of these.

[Mike]

The Seaboys put together this huge slippery slide for their friends and family to enjoy, but this wasn't their first go. It's their third year in a row. The group says that each year, the slip and slide path gets longer.

[Ryan]

All right, all right, we're done.

[CJ]

We're done.

[Ben]

Turn his mic off.

[Mike]

Turn mic off. Honestly.

[Ryan]

All right, we're turning off.

[Mike]

No more. No more slip and slides.

[Ryan]

Happy Tuesday, everybody. You guys have a great week. We do this every single week. Come see us at heydays, and we'll see you guys next time.

[Mike]

Subscribe, please. Peace.

[Ben]

Later.
