Gavin
We got fans on the cameras, but we lost the tv. You know, so the pod studio was progressing and then it went back a little bit.
Spenny
At least we got that Amish hat kind of slightly covering the ugly mount.
Gavin
Yeah, yeah.
Alex
I mean I thought it kind of distracted you from the missing tv. Well, the TV never gets turned on anyway.
Gavin
Dude, that TV was a piece of junk anyways. Yeah, exactly.
Alex
We'll get a nice freaking TLC.
Ken
Get the nicest 32 inch Samsung.
CJ
Well, what's the point? We don't.
Gavin
We just.
CJ
We don't use it.
Alex
You just said these chairs aren't very comfy.
Spenny
Just put a sign there.
Gavin
Not bad. I actually don't mind it.
CJ
I mean I don't love them, but I'm not a complainer. So.
Alex
Ken, when I was in the gym this morning. The gym has a lot of sheriffs and stuff that work out at it. And one of them said that you had a run in with the DLPD recently.
Ken
I didn't want. I was hoping that wouldn't come up. So a few weeks ago I had. I overserved myself and I was going to go stay at a friend's house in DL myself. They live In a condo. And, you know, there's one unit on top of another one. And I went to the ground floor unit and they live in the upstairs unit. So I was knocking on the door trying to get in.
Spenny
What time was this?
Ken
2:00Am late.
Gavin
And did you, did you get in?
Ken
No, the cop, like, they called the cops. Well, eventually they knew, like, oh, oh, he's outside. Because I tried calling him and then came outside, but, you know, when I got upstairs, then the cops rolled up.
Alex
And then what, people inside called the cops?
Ken
Yeah, because they thought I was trying to break in.
Gavin
Well, yeah, I would.
Spenny
A large man was banging on my door.
Gavin
I'd call it to the people. Yeah.
Spenny
Lucky you didn't get shot, Ken.
Ken
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Gavin
And what exactly were you trying to do with this said married couple, Ken?
Ken
I was literally just looking for a place to. To stay the night.
Spenny
So you were looking for a place.
Gavin
To stay at night?
Ken
Well, I didn't. I knew I was too drunk to like ride back in the Sprinter and not make a fool of myself.
Spenny
Too drunk to ride back in the Sprinter and sleep in your own bed. So you walk to a married couple's house and almost got jammed up by the cops?
Alex
Yeah, otherwise I would have.
Ken
Way more reasonable, probably would have thrown up and made a mess of the Sprinter. So I was like, okay, so you went. This was the more responsible route.
Spenny
I don't know. I'm having a hard time believing. I'm having a hard time believing that. You can say that all you want.
Alex
But yeah, I'll let it slide with the logic because it sounds like you might have. You might had a few.
Spenny
It sounds like no matter what, it's probably not appropriate for the podcast, so we'll probably just leave it at that.
Gavin
So you were hoping that we weren't going to find that one out?
Ken
Yeah, 100%.
Alex
I'm so shocked when he brought it up. I was like, Ken was with the cops? No, Ken's a good friend. My law abiding citizen friend.
Spenny
Dude. It's like, so Ken still lives with Alex and I and it's like we have a high schooler staying at our house. We don't know if he's coming home tonight. Can we lock the door? Like, hey, are you coming home? He's not answering. Like, I don't know. And then 3am what is that? Oh, it's just Ken coming home. He's ruffling up and then sometimes you wake up. Is he here? Nope, he's gone. Still gone. I don't know where he stayed.
Gavin
Ken, you're gonna have to start checking in.
Ken
I guess I do. I didn't know I had to do that when I was 30.
Spenny
But you don't have to. I was just saying it's.
Gavin
It's.
Spenny
I feel like a parent.
Alex
Almost like you're worried about him.
Spenny
I'm not worried about him. I'm just like, you know, can I lock up all the doors and. And all that other stuff?
CJ
I'm picturing, like, even more. So you ask Ken how his day is if you do catch him.
Spenny
It's just like, downstairs.
Gavin
No, no, I want to hear about it. I said. Good.
Spenny
Yeah.
Gavin
You got an angsty teen living in.
Alex
Your basement once he started renting. Did you not. You don't give him the door code anymore.
Spenny
He's got the door code, but, Ken.
Gavin
I'm surprised you don't just come in downstairs.
Ken
Yeah, but then you got to walk through all the grass and then you drag like, grass clippings inside. No, it just makes way more of a mess.
CJ
He doesn't want the clibbons on his. His elk hide rug.
Alex
Makes sense, actually.
CJ
I don't know what height it is.
Alex
But, yeah, I was pretty shocked about that.
Gavin
So did you buff it out? Oh, yeah.
Ken
Everyone had a laugh.
Spenny
It was.
Ken
It was totally fine once.
Gavin
Once they figured out laughing in handcuffs.
Ken
No, there's no handcuffs involved, so.
Alex
So the cops found you upstairs?
Ken
Yeah, Yeah, I was on the deck.
Gavin
Until he got upstairs.
Spenny
The door was closed. No hand were involved.
Alex
Do they know? The people downstairs?
Ken
Yeah, like, they're. They're renting it from that.
Alex
Oh, okay. Got it. So they clear it up like it's.
Ken
It's all good.
Alex
Oh, that's.
Ryan
It would have been really funny if the cop was like. Yeah, it was weird.
Gavin
He.
Ryan
He asked me if he could. If I could handcuff him.
Gavin
You mind tossing those on? Or would you.
Ryan
Would you mind just tossing on those handcuffs for a second?
Gavin
Maybe?
Alex
Tell me. I've been a real bad.
Gavin
I'll be right back. Yeah, he just walked off with my handcuffs on.
Ryan
You never know. A couple drinks. You never know what a guy's feeling.
CJ
Speaking of a couple drinks, I. I finally got my voicemails back from the wedding. So we had like a phone. It was like the guest book.
Alex
Oh, dang it. I forgot to do that.
Gavin
Or did I?
CJ
I don't know. I haven't listened.
Ryan
There's.
CJ
There's a bunch. So it's just like a little old school phone. You pick it up, you leave a message, and I got the messages back. And I gotta play the one that Evan left. Don't worry.
Ryan
It's like. It's pretty standard. It's.
CJ
It's funny. None of it makes any sense at all.
Spenny
Yeah.
Dalton
We only had one towel and.
CJ
Like, he wasn't staying.
Dalton
There were pubes in my bed sheets.
CJ
He wasn't staying anywhere.
Dalton
It's probably fine.
Gavin
I get it.
Dalton
But, yeah, I. I honestly, I just want my money back.
Gavin
Evan thought he was on the phone with.
Ryan
With, like, customer service at the Best Western.
Dalton
What are you doing?
Spenny
That's hilarious.
Dalton
I think I just thought it would be funny when you.
Gavin
Yeah, so I figured that.
Ryan
I mean, as random as it gets.
CJ
And then he leaves another one and it gets a little sad again.
Dalton
And I'm pretty horny right now.
Gavin
I just.
Dalton
I just want someone to talk to. I'm not in a good place. Call me back. That'd be great.
Gavin
Yeah.
Ryan
The pause.
Gavin
I think I was.
Dalton
I think like, Zorbus Brian was stand. I don't know. I had a little crowd.
Gavin
Wait, was that Zorba's Brian?
Spenny
No, that was.
Dalton
Oh, But I think I. I kind.
Gavin
Of sounded like him.
Dalton
I had a little audience, so I do recall doing that now.
Gavin
Yeah.
Ryan
That is funny.
Dalton
Dropping some randos for you.
CJ
So good. It was, like, pretty high quality, too. I was stoked.
Gavin
Dude. I. Funny, I 100% thought that that was just for aesthetics. And I was like, man, money Mike really just went all out on this.
CJ
Yeah. There's like a little note that tells you, pick up the phone.
Gavin
Yeah.
Ryan
Message.
Gavin
It's easy to know. It's easy to know that when you know how to read. Yeah.
CJ
Yeah, true. Yeah, I had fun. I'm excited to go through the rest of them.
Gavin
You got them back. And you were like, oh, let's listen to a couple. What did we do?
CJ
Sydney did hear it.
Ryan
What'd she think of that?
CJ
That was, like, the first one that she showed me. She's like, you got to listen to this one. But then there's just like. I remember, like, one of her friends came up. This is so random, but, like, she came up to Sydney and was like, yo, I left a message on that thing. Yeah, I left a fuck ass message. And I'm like, what does that even mean? Like, why? What do you mean? Just leave something nice Or I guess, funny. I don't know.
Spenny
I was funny. I was way funnier than I even expected.
Gavin
Yeah. I'd probably get halfway through and be like, oh, shit, I shouldn't have said that then silent, like, oh, that was.
CJ
What'S interesting, there's no way to, like, delete what you said.
Spenny
So, like, I always get nervous when I'm leaving a voicemail. Yeah, it's just like, no re. There's no redoing it once that beep.
Ken
Yeah, there is.
Spenny
Oh, you can.
Dalton
I think on a normal, like, iPhone. Yeah, you just.
Ken
You just press star and then it, like, gives you options.
Spenny
I didn't know that.
CJ
I learned something new.
Gavin
Really?
CJ
Also just.
Spenny
That's nice to know.
CJ
Speaking of voicemails, like, I guess I've never gotten to Gavin's voicemail. I know we talked with someone. Talked about it.
Ryan
I never got to the end of it.
CJ
He was like 12 years old.
Gavin
Oh, should we pop it up? Let's call him right now.
Spenny
Before, he was a redneck.
CJ
He's like, I don't know what he says. We'll find out. But his voice, he literally sounds like he's 10 years old and he's just still running it. So, like, people that don't know him super well have to be pretty confused when they're calling him for the first time.
Ryan
He's probably going to answer it.
Gavin
What's going on?
Ryan
Why not answer it? He's going to start tweaking out. He's going to think something's wrong.
Gavin
Yo, yo. Yeah, here. Just don't. Don't answer. I'm going to call you again and don't answer. All right? All right, all right. All right. Peace. No, don't do that to me. I knew he was going to say that. I fixed it. I fixed it. Oh, What? No. What?
Ryan
I fixed it.
Gavin
No, no, you didn't.
Dalton
We don't want you to fix it.
CJ
He knew exactly what we were doing.
Gavin
He's going to pick it up.
Spenny
Catching on.
Ryan
I bet he picks it up again.
Dalton
You know, could fast track this for us and just hit ignore.
I
Your call has been forwarded to voicemail. The person you're trying to reach is not available at the time.
Gavin
Damn. Damn.
Ryan
He just deleted it.
Dalton
That's devastating.
Gavin
Damn.
CJ
Now it's just lame.
Gavin
Yeah. So it was just. Gavin is like 12 year old.
Spenny
12 years old.
Gavin
Probably even younger.
Ryan
Literally.
Gavin
Yeah. Yeah.
Spenny
He was still just as enthusiastic as ever, though.
Gavin
Dude, he had to have been such a cute little kid.
Spenny
I bet. Can you just imagine? I'm just showing up, just happy as all get out. Just.
Gavin
Yeah, Mullet.
Spenny
Nice kid.
CJ
Built in mullet.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
Just ready to have some fun.
Gavin
I'd imagine he was exactly like that, that kid that was at the Drift Mansion. Little Gavin, Little Gav. Hey, I'm little Gab.
Ryan
I wonder when he hit his first.
Gavin
Oh, baby.
Dalton
I think it was his first words, actually.
Gavin
Yeah. Oh, baby.
Ryan
Talk to me, baby. Like, when did Gav hit his first? Talk to me, baby?
Gavin
He's like fine wine. He's just getting better with age, and he's just settling into just being himself.
Spenny
One of the greatest entertainers of our generation. That's what he's. That's what he's becoming.
Gavin
He is.
CJ
Yeah. I think he is too. I tell him, like, I think the, like, the fake redneck stuff, like, gets a little old personally, but I told him to just own it. I'm like, dude, just, like, be the redneck that wears Lulu and, like, don't get so beat up by you guys. Like, I think, like, he needs to own it, but instead he's just like, oh, really?
Ryan
Oh, you think?
CJ
So even though we've been over this, like, I know 25 times, I truly.
Gavin
Think that he is a redneck.
Ryan
Same is. Yeah.
CJ
So, I mean, I just. I tell him, like, you got to own it. Like, you genuinely are redneck. You're just. You're not your standard belt buckle, jean wearing redneck.
Gavin
Teeth missing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
CJ
Gavin would go crazy with a missing tooth.
Gavin
He gets one.
Spenny
He goes to the dentist.
Gavin
More redneck.
Spenny
He, like, gets put under and everything, so it's not as painful. Painful.
CJ
That'd be awesome.
Dalton
If he keeps running them. The Gav helmets. I don't know, what do you call it?
CJ
Just like, the chopped helmet.
Gavin
Yeah.
CJ
It could happen.
Dalton
Could find himself with some handlebars, his teeth someday.
CJ
That is a really interesting concept, though. So you know how, like, to look more goth, you could get more piercings, more tattoos. Freaking. Go even crazier than that to look more redneck. You go get a tooth removed or get it shaved down.
Gavin
He could, like.
Spenny
He could, like, go and, like, that's hilarious. Take on a bunch of debt to.
Gavin
Yeah. Lose the double wide. Yeah.
CJ
Like, pour a bunch of lard in the corner of his house to make it smell.
Spenny
Yeah.
Dalton
Buy some stuff.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
At what point are you not even ready?
CJ
Well, then, yeah, I guess he'd be a poser.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
Hillbilly.
Dalton
I still think you got to be more born into the redneck. You can't choose it at 27 years old.
CJ
Yeah.
Gavin
You're pretty hard on him in that aspect, but I think he deserves it. Ev. I think.
Spenny
I think he's proven you're just a.
Gavin
Little hard on him.
Dalton
He knows I'm just busting his balls, but, yeah, I Don't know. They. Oh, whatever. We don't gotta go down this way. Just pop up his grad picture and then look at him two years later. Rest my case, he was wearing Jordan. Never mind.
Ken
You know, not everyone.
Dalton
I love Gavin.
Spenny
I'm liking his rapper stage.
Ken
Not everyone's born into that life, though. He just wanted to, like, assimilate.
Dalton
It actually is pretty cool that he. Of all the directions, that's where he went. Yeah, no, and I just bust his balls because he knows I'm kidding.
Gavin
It's fun, but it's his entire identity.
CJ
Well, that's.
Gavin
You know, it's like there's two things that matter to him. Being able to take a fall and being a redneck.
CJ
Also, I do love how he's coming around to that too. Like, he. He's fully just being like, wait, three wheelers are my thing, but, like, taking a fall is my thing.
Gavin
And now. Now that's kind of becoming his brand. You know, we were just in Sturgis this last weekend and we met a ton of fans. And one, people absolutely love Gavin and they're so excited to meet him every single time. Which I think just shows, like, how much people love watching him on the videos. And then two, they always want to see him take a fall. And now Gavin has to, like, put on this entertainment for them and start rolling around on the ground no matter where we are.
Ryan
Yeah, I started. I started. I kind of blew him out on that. I was like, gav, show them. Show them the tuck and roll. Like, you gotta show them the tuck and roll.
CJ
Now we got him demonstrating in front of fans live.
Ryan
I mean, that's what people want to see, though. That's why they like them.
Spenny
It's true.
Ryan
He's got the iconic tuck and roll. Nobody's running it.
Gavin
Like, dude, no one can take a fall like Gavin. Like, the tuck and roll out of the merch barn when he went over the bars and from flipped out of it. Like, that was some innate talent. Yeah.
Dalton
Of any of those.
Gavin
Like, you can't be taught that, dude. He just. No, he just knows how to do it.
Dalton
Of any of those four, I still literally laugh out loud. Like, I can watch the clip by myself. And I laugh out loud because it's.
CJ
Like, how's he doing that though?
Dalton
The merch bar maybe probably was the best, but they're all. Then you watch the other one. You're like, oh, man, that was a good one too.
CJ
They're all legend. Oh, we got a tick tock.
Gavin
Yeah, the kid did post it on rolling. Oh bro.
Ryan
And he just like he didn't even do it mellow. Like that was so big. Like he did not need to do it that big. He could have just done a somersault and he just decided to do a front flip to his back.
Gavin
An entertainer, bro.

Dalton
Speaking of Gavin, do we, do we already talk about him losing his Kit Kat at the airport?
Gavin
No.
Dalton
He's in a hurry.
Gavin
No. What?
Dalton
Okay, so there was this couple that was going on their honeymoon and they said they were people watching. She made a tick tock about this and they saw Gavin because he was about to miss his flight. So he's sprinting through the airport and he drops his KitKat. So they picked up the KitKat and then she made a whole montage of this KitKat along with them on their honeymoon, like on the cruise with a nice dinner. I just thought it was amazing. I thought it was great.
CJ
No, that little flat Stanley Action KitKat.
Gavin
It's pretty funny, Gavin.
CJ
KitKat.
Spenny
I don't check my DMs a ton, but I just happened to look at him that morning and I had a DM from this lady like, hey, I'm pretty sure I just saw Gavin running through the airport and he dropped his KitKat and I go, yep, that was him. He got dropped off at the airport this morning.
Gavin
I've been getting in a TikTok a little bit more. I've said on this podcast a couple times that I, I haven't had a tick tock up until like two months ago. And there is such a movement of people on TikTok making just like reaction videos to C Boys videos or like having something to say about us or certain people even hating too. But it's like getting to this movement and like TikTok seems to be like the home for it.
Ryan
It's like a trend.
Gavin
It's. And it's, and it's just really eye opening to me because a lot of these have like 100,000 likes. It kind of shows the other side of like our videos of like the community almost reacting to them and then them coming together on it. I guess we make these videos. I see the views, I see the comments on our end, but besides for meeting people out in the streets, I don't really know like what's the consensus of like how people are feeling about the videos or like the overall like brand where we're at or you know, the characters that are in it or like these storylines that are happening. And I'm always entertained to see, like, what people are saying on Tick Tock because I feel like it's like a. It's a pretty genuine thing of, like, people are pretty honest on there. And then if it has a bunch of likes, I'm like, oh, yeah, a bunch of people think that too, bro.
Spenny
I just opened my TikTok and it just opened to, eff it shred 80 football highlights.
Gavin
And it's his football highlights.
Spenny
Yeah, football highlights. It's amazing how they manage to, like, find you. But, like, people are playing, putting in the work, and, like, digging up stuff. I agree. Like, it's insane. Like, every time I open, it's something somehow related to us from someone I don't even know. It is amazing in that factor. But, yeah, it's just funny.
Gavin
I think it's cool. It's just like, it's the movement of our videos having a bigger impact on the Internet than just ourselves.
Ryan
Yeah, it's crazy. Like, somebody can just post a video of them watching it in their bedroom, and they're like, me every Thursday. And then 50,000 people like it. And they're like, dude, me too.
Gavin
I always laugh, too, when I see, like, a edit or a montage of something. And a lot of times it's like a video of somebody's dirt bike. And it'll just say, like, how we feeling about Evan lately? And it's just like, everyone on the Internet just knows that they are talking about Evan. Like they're from seaboz tv. Yeah, but it's just on the Internet. And then like, just like, our name has enough, I guess, of a following of people. Understand. Oh, they're talking about Evan from Seaboy.
CJ
It's crazy.
Alex
My favorite.
Gavin
Because then it was the.
Alex
Like, I was watching Sea Boys and then I remembered. And then it's people walking outside and getting on their dirt bike or, like, showing their garage with all their stuff in it. It's kind of cool.
Gavin
That is cool. Yeah.
Ryan
I see a lot of ones that are like. It's like a photo of the inside of the shop, and it's like, not my shop, but I know my way around. I see a lot of those or, like, places I want to go. And it's like the Eiffel Tower, maybe like a beach in California. And then it's like a photo of the seaboard's drift track. It's actually pretty sick. I get those, like, a few of.
Gavin
Those a day or rolling through Cormorant, and it's just got the Cormorant store.
CJ
Yeah, the Cornwall store. Or like, dude, or like, swipe over. It's like my list of favorite seaboys in order. And it's just Ken, Ken, Ken, Ken.
Gavin
I've seen that.
Spenny
The cormorant store and the cormorant publisher. Apparently their phone lines get blown up on the daily because kids are calling, like, asking if we're there.
Dalton
And Zorbas.
Gavin
Seriously?
Spenny
Store, Cormorant pub.
CJ
I just got this one from Spencer. That a place we get some of our stuff made.
Alex
Please give me the Sea boys TV number. I want to meet with Ben and Micah and big Ken Matthews.
Spenny
Much love.
Gavin
Much love to you. Yeah.
CJ
Very demanding. But then also. Much love.
Gavin
Much love. I appreciate that. Yeah. No, don't be calling. Don't be calling those places.
CJ
Yeah, you're putting them in a tight spot. Like, they're not gonna give it.
Spenny
Even if we were sitting there, they wouldn't. They probably wouldn't put us on the phone. So just like, let them be.
Gavin
What's. I saw that the cormorant store changed their business profile photo to a picture of Mike's Viper in front of the Corrod store. Or somebody did or something like that.
Spenny
I think kids do that or maybe kids do that online.
Gavin
But yeah, it's. If you look up corant store, it's just. It's just. It's just a photo of Mike driving by the first picture.
CJ
Oh, yeah.
Gavin
That's sick, dude.
CJ
I'm stoked on that.
Ryan
That's actually sick.
Gavin
And that's a screenshot just from the video. That's awesome.
Spenny
And they got Ken's continental.
Gavin
Yes.
Ryan
I even saw that when we filmed the. The picnic. Back to the tick tock thing. That girl that wiped the table down, she made a tick tock and she was like, my biggest claim to fame is being three seconds in a seaboard's video. And it got like a hundred thousand likes on it and then almost 500,000 views.
CJ
The search bar is like two pizzas for 34C boys video girl.
Ryan
Right?
CJ
Or something. Yeah, but yeah, like, that's a great example. Like, so she just like, fired it out there.
Ryan
Yeah, fired it out there. She was literally sitting in the parking lot of Zorb.
Gavin
Was.
Ryan
And you can tell.
Gavin
And it's just.
Ryan
It was funny.
CJ
Yeah, it is.
Gavin
It's just like kind of the domino.
CJ
I'm honestly stoked that you guys are on Tik Tok. Like, I mean, Evan just spoke about it. Like, he actually like, uses the app. He's like, yeah, I hopped on my.
Dalton
Fyp, that's the only time I get on you. You get sent a link, so you open it.
Gavin
Yeah.
Dalton
And then you end up scrolling like an extra 10.
CJ
Yeah.
Gavin
Is addicting.
Ryan
Me and Mike probably send each other, like, and Ryan a couple videos a day.
Gavin
Yeah.
Ryan
Like, Michael send me a couple. I sent him a couple even on Instagram, too.
Gavin
I've been, I've been sending CJ some. A couple things that I've been seeing online that have kind of been cementing the way that we've been thinking around here.
Spenny
Yeah, I mean, this is the summer of us suspecting we have someone in the group's gay. Like, that's really the only way that we can.
Gavin
I mean, he starts sweating.
Ryan
All right, I might hop back off here. Time to take the head bone off.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
Ben. Last thing Ben sent me. Study shows. At least one guy in the friend group is actually gay.
Gavin
Gosh, I don't know what study.
CJ
But yeah, you and. You and Ben would love that, wouldn't you?
Spenny
Hey, I mean, I, I, I'd be just happy for.
Gavin
I just. I think you guys would love it.
Dalton
There's a chance it could be you.
CJ
You guys clearly talk about it.
Gavin
Oh, I didn't think about that. I didn't think about that.
Spenny
Maybe I need to start really thinking about.
Gavin
Hold on now.
Spenny
I, like, look in the mirror.
Gavin
Like, study shows.
Spenny
It's pretty.
Gavin
There's at least one. Oh, fuck.
Ryan
It's pretty funny. CJ hasn't really ever sent me much, but he's been sending me Harley's lately.
Spenny
Yeah.
Gavin
So you guys are getting hogs?
Spenny
I'm.
Ryan
Yeah, I'm trying to get one. Friday.
Spenny
It's Friday.
Gavin
You're trying to get cranking as soon as possible.
Ryan
I'm literally trying to crank on Friday.
CJ
This kid walking the walk.
Ryan
Dude, bro, I need to be wheeling that thing.
Gavin
Yeah. So we went to Sturgis this last weekend, and we'll talk about it. It's the biggest motorcycle rally in the world, but predominantly Harley Davidson.
Ryan
Yeah, 90.
Gavin
90 Harley's. Right. So everyone's there just cranking their hog. There's 700, 000 people that go to Sturgis, and it's, like, from Friday to the following Sunday. So I don't know, over the course of, like, two weeks. Nine days, 10 days. Yeah. And yeah, we were there on the opening weekend. It was insane.
Spenny
So fun, dude.
Gavin
So fun. So many bikes. Everyone's cranking the out of their hogs.
Ryan
Cranking hogs, guys fixing hogs, guys doing burnouts on hogs. Girls on the back, guys riding other guys, hogs.
Gavin
What'd you.
Spenny
What'd you think about it? Now is your second time. Are you coming more around to it?
Dalton
I mean, it is what it is.
Spenny
What do you mean? It is what it is. You don't like it?
Gavin
Yeah, just.
Dalton
I don't know. It's fine.
Ken
What was the name you came up for it?
Dalton
Cheeto Bill.
Gavin
What would you think if everyone was there but on Crotch Rockets?
CJ
I mean, it's pretty sick, actually.
Dalton
I mean, probably the same.
Spenny
What if they were on dirt bikes?
Dalton
Now that would be lit.
Gavin
Really?
Dalton
No, that's the only thing, Honestly, I have a ton of fun. Like, when you got to get into the chaos, like. Yeah, the burnout pits, the stunt riding, like, there's a lot of really cool stuff, but, like, pulling up your fancy hog on the main drag and chilling.
Spenny
Out, pulling up to the bar, Isn't that what you're all about?
Dalton
I don't mind that. I don't know. It's fine. It's fine.
Gavin
So it is interesting, though, because, like, I think we've said this before, but when we would tell people that we were going to Sturgis, everyone was always like, be careful. You know, there's a lot of bad people there. You know, you know, sketchy people, which, you know, they're probably 700,000 people. There's going to be.
Spenny
Yeah.
Gavin
But like, I would say 98% of them are just your classic Harley riders that are damn near playing dress up for the weekend. Yeah, maybe less than that, but it's pretty chill. And everyone's really is just there to have a good time and crank their hogs.
Spenny
Everyone's nice. Yeah, I just. This year, though, I thought was the most fun just because we got actually on a ride with like, the pack and like, with some stunt riders, which I think is what really sold Spenny on the harley lifestyle. I mean, look at spinning, dude. It's all about dirt bikes, Evan. And he still even can like and appreciate the heart.
Ryan
No, I just think nothing is more gross than those dudes hanging off the side of a Harley going up the highway. It was just the sickest thing ever.
Gavin
Yeah.
Dalton
I mean, I so not disagree with that. It was so sick. So lit. And you got three of them ripping.
Gavin
Yeah.
Ryan
Rolling burnout. Rolling burnouts. Like, three guys crossing up in and out, smoke flying, and another guy's ripping back wheelieing on the seat. Like, dude, they just are just so gnarly. They don't care. They're just gnarly.
Spenny
And with the pack mentality, it's like, roll through the stoplight.
Gavin
Yeah.
Ryan
Rolling red.
Spenny
Yeah.
Gavin
There was a red light. There was a red light, and we all rolled through it. And I just looked over at Mike, and Mike goes, what are we doing? And I was like, we're rolling with the pack.
Spenny
It'd be dangerous.
Dalton
The best part was, though, is I'm like, God damn. Damn it. We got to run this stop sign. I'm next to cj. It turned green the second we got to the intersection. Like, everyone's running the red, and it. I'm like, oh, man, we did it legal.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
That is one thing you don't like also is. Is around on the street, which I understand.
Dalton
Fighting to get insurance on my car from one careless driving on a mini bike at the end of the driveway, which is insane.
Ryan
I think I saw Evan stop for a stop sign that we all blew through. He was the only guy that stopped.
Spenny
When things are, like, meant to be reckless, that's when Evan starts riding super cautious. It's kind of funny.
Dalton
There's so many. I get, like, we were out in the hills and everything worked out, but.
Spenny
Like, there was a lot.
Dalton
Dude, it was gnarly. Dude, I was tripping.
Gavin
Those guys didn't care.
Dalton
They did not.
Gavin
It was. It was. It was pretty wild.
Spenny
I don't condone riding wheelies on the street or doing the burnouts, freaking crossing the whole lanes and wheelies without your helmet on. But I'm not going to lie. It looked pretty cool.
Ryan
Those guys. It was the gnarliest. Like, they were gnarly doing it in our lane. And then there's a car coming down the hill, and the one dude just greases out into oncoming traffic and then just, like, slides back in. I was like, dude, these guys are actually looking for the adrenaline. Like, they're just like. When you swerve out in front of oncoming traffic, like, when you can see a car coming, you're literally just looking for a driver.
Spenny
That's what they're all about.
Dalton
And I'm pretty sure you're doing an overnighter.
Spenny
Oh, for sure.
Dalton
I think they were just straight reckless driving. They're probably going to. They would not see the judge.
Spenny
They're just not going to stop.
Dalton
I don't know if you can.
Spenny
They're not stopping.
Ryan
No, they're not stopping. They're not.
Spenny
I don't even think they have had license plates.
Ryan
No, dude, some of the kids didn't have licenses.
Spenny
Yeah, I know. I was talking to one of them. He doesn't have his license. His wasn't insured. He didn't have a register.
Dalton
Yeah, because there's a lot of just.
Gavin
Like he was one of the better.
Dalton
Old timers and whatnot. But you could see like the whole pack of, like the, you know, responsible hog riders are coming down and then there's three guys just cutting up.
Gavin
I would say the 98. The 98. Yeah, 99. And then we were rolling with the cool kids. With the cool kids.
Dalton
Goddamn dirt bike.
Gavin
O.
Spenny
Now it's not cool to be on a dirt bike. What, I can't get you out.
Dalton
The one time I was like, I'm so excited to ride this rocket. It's got a fresh tire. Oh, man. And then get.
Spenny
Dude, I felt cool. And then I remembered I was on a purple Harley with flames.
Ryan
That thing was sick.
Spenny
It did sound good.
Gavin
I felt like I was cranking the out of my hog.
Dalton
Dude, everyone respects that bike.
Gavin
Oh, yeah. Cuz that. That one is like, oh, that guy's. That guy's core.
Dalton
The old shovel head.
Gavin
Yeah, that's a core Harley right there.
Ken
And then there was me and Spenny.
Gavin
We felt good.
Ryan
Yeah, we felt really good.
Gavin
Which you guys were dialed in for. What we were doing, though.
Ken
It was a perfect setup for filming.
Gavin
It was so good. It was hilarious too. I was riding behind you at one point when five guys were doing Rolling Bernie's in front of the hill in front of them.
Ryan
Dude, I was scared.
Gavin
And they were. They were crisscrossing back and forth like this, right? And Ken is sitting there with his phone filming it. And it got so gnarly that they were like, smoked out completely.
Ryan
Yeah, they were smoked out driving. No, like, no throttle to get out of the way and shitty brakes. I got a guy wheeling behind me and I'm worried about him dropping the front tire on the back of my head. And then I got guys crisscrossing in front of me, smoking me out, and I can't see. I was stressing.
Gavin
Yeah, it was gnarly. It was gnarly. It was, you know, you know, when we were rolling with that crew, you know, we. We were on the road for like five minutes, and then next thing we know, they're pulling off and going to a bar and we're like a bar already. It was pretty classic. It was classic. But, you know, everyone else was like, you know, those are the. Those are the people you want to avoid at Sturgis or whatever. And of course we're with them. Yeah. Everyone else is pretty chill.
Dalton
I love too, when they pull out anytime they they leave the bar. It's straight three gears of rev limit everywhere they just roll out it just.
Ryan
Everywhere they stop, stop light, red light, you know, at a gas station before you pull out, just limiters everywhere, always hitting the limiter.
CJ
But yeah, those guys were freaking crazy for riding with no license.
Dalton
One might say they live life wide open.
Alex
Brunt boots are comfortable right out of the box. Which means no two weeks of waiting and wearing uncomfortable boots because your old ones wore out and you had to break in your new ones. Founder Eric Girard grew up blue collar and started Brunt Workwear after his friends in the trades kept telling him that the big brands had stopped listening and hadn't changed in a hundred years. They had all sold out to become fashion brands. His buddies encouraged him to start a brand built for them and that's why all Brunt products are named after the guys he grew up with. Real hard working tradesmen. Right now for a limited time, our listeners can get $10 off at Brunt when you use Code Wide Open at checkout. Just head to bruntworkwear.com and use the code Wide Open and you're good to go. And we love our Brunt boots. We wear them all the time, especially when we're out on the track or working on the vehicles around the shop. Gavin and Big Wrench have made the switch to Brunt and they love them and they love having a more comfortable work boot. Brunt was tired of the workwear brands out there cutting corners. You work too hard to be stuck in some uncomfortable boots that don't hold up, so they built something better. Boots that are insanely comfortable and built for any job site. And for a limited time, our listeners get $10 off at Brunt when you use Code Wide Open at checkout. Just head to bruntworkwear.com code wide open and you're good to go. And after your order, they're going to ask where you heard about Brunt and do us a favor and tell them it was from the Life Wide Open podcast. Thanks guys.

CJ
Because can you imagine what would happen if you got, like, pulled over without a license?
Ken
I don't think they would.
Dalton
That's insane. We haven't really talked about this.
Gavin
Can you imagine?
Spenny
Can we talk about your guys's night? Do we want to bring that up?
Gavin
Yeah, I think so.
Spenny
We have Spenny's parents here, too. Maybe they want to, like. Or one of them wants to, like, sit in just for this little segment.
Gavin
Just to see it. Yeah, have sweaty's mom.
Spenny
Yeah, Come on in here. Come on in. Just for a minute.
Ryan
You ever had two Canadians on the pod at once?
CJ
I don't think.
Gavin
Yeah, I think we have, actually. Who? Carterman. Oh, yeah. Turkey. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
CJ
At the same time.
Ryan
Yeah, they did go.
Gavin
Yeah. So this is spending's mom, Bernice. We call her Burn.
CJ
Burn.
Ryan
Chocolate Bernice.
Gavin
No, we just thought it would be. It'd be fun to have you on and just.
Spenny
I mean, spending. Do you want to show?
Ryan
Well, yeah, as you know, I've been kind of thinking about getting a tattoo lately and did a little something in Sturgis. Got a little tattoo. Should we give him the reveal?
CJ
Yes, we should.
Ryan
Where is it? What do we think of that?
Gavin
That's not too bad. Oh, really? Okay. Oh, that's good. You like it?
Alex
That's good.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
Oh, there we go.
Gavin
Hey, that's good.
Ryan
I thought I was gonna take some heat.
Gavin
Yeah. Spenny thought that he was gonna have to get it laser removed. Yeah. Oh, really?
Ryan
Yeah.
Gavin
Spenny was like, my mom's gonna whoop me, I thought.
Ryan
You guys mad about it?
Gavin
Oh, I have one here. Yeah. You got a tattoo. Did you know that? Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah, but it was, like, years ago.
Gavin
Oh, it's all good then. Okay, fantastic.
Ryan
Yeah, we're all good.
Spenny
There we go. Here we go. Ben, what's your parents think? Do they know?
Gavin
No, they don't know.
Spenny
Oh, wow.
Gavin
They legit don't know. Oh, yeah. So I got a tattoo. I got a tattoo, too. Is that real? Yeah, it's real.
CJ
What's it say?
Gavin
I don't know.
Spenny
Why?
Gavin
It's kind of peeling right now.
CJ
What's it say, Ben?
Gavin
Life wide open.
CJ
Nice.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
Yeah. Again, screw you guys.
Gavin
Yeah. And. Oh, yeah, look at that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The whole crew, actually. Okay. So I guess I'll just tell the.
Spenny
Story of how it.
Gavin
What happened? Yeah, everyone in the crew got one, so.
Ken
Other than cj.
Gavin
So we got done watching our boy Kobe Raha do a gnarly stunt, and we were like, all right, what should we do? We were. And we were staying in this town over called Deadwood. There's a bunch of casinos in Deadwood. We're like, all right, let's go back to Deadwood, go and hit the casinos, go and get some food. And we're rolling out of town.
Spenny
We have two vehicles.
Gavin
We have two vehicles. Ken and CJ Are in the truck. The rest of us are in the Sprinter van.
Spenny
I was just driving the truck because I was sober, and they're like, hey, someone needs to get the truck back to Deadwood. And then Mike was driving the Sprinter van because he was sober. So I was like, oh, whatever. I mean, obviously, I'd rather ride in the Sprinter van, but obviously I got to drive the truck.
Gavin
So we're planning on rolling out to. To Deadwood, and on our way out.
Spenny
Of town, they tell me, go to Deadwood. We're going to Deadwood to go to the casino. So I start going to Deadwood.
Gavin
So we're rolling out of town, and Gavin is on his phone. Shred 80. And he's in the back, and he's like, oh, dude, my favorite band, Colt 45 is in town. Colt 45? Yeah. Cole Ford to go. Whatever. Cold 45. Sometimes we gotta go.
Ryan
I want to see him. We gotta go.
Gavin
It's at 9:00am or it's at 9:00pm it's like, 9:05. He's like, come on. Come on, Colt 45. Let's go. And we're like, all right, Gav's all revved up. Let's hit Colt 45. And so we pull over, and we walk into this bar where, you know, the concert's happening. And we're standing there, and there's this random nerd up on stage, and we're like, this is what we pulled in here for, Gav. This is. This isn't him. This isn't him. He's got to be coming on after. So we stand there for, like, 35 minutes, waiting, and finally Gavin goes up and asks the guy. And the guy's like, oh, yeah, that's tomorrow night. And Gavin's like, oh, okay. I guess I had it wrong, fellas. Sorry about that. And we're like, all right.
CJ
I was thinking about you. Siege. It took me about 35 minutes to park the rig. And I go, did anyone tell CJ and Ken? Everyone's like, no. I'm like, I didn't either.
Gavin
So, I mean, at that point, you guys were already dead.
Spenny
Yeah, I was parked, and I was sitting there. I was looking at you guys. Location like, they're not coming.
Ken
Just got some dinner and had a night.
Gavin
We left the concert and we're like, all right, let's pull up to this other. This other bar that we went to last year that was pretty fun. Get a drink there and then dip. So we go over there. Things escalated, boys are buzzing. We leave that bar probably 45 minutes after that. Walking by a tattoo parlor. Well, Gavin, earlier in the night was like, dude, I would run a life wide open tattoo. I want to get one. So as we're walking by, I think EVs like, here you go, Gav. Here's your time. And guys like, no, no, now's not the time. And we're like, no, now is the time. There's no better time than now. And so we walk in there. Gav's like, all right, I'm running it. And Spenny's like, dude, dude, should I run it? Should I run it? Should I run it? Dude, I'm not gonna tell you to get a tattoo or not. This is like a lifelong decision. I'm not gonna just be like, yeah, bro, you should run it. And then. And then you do it because of me. And so he's just like, I'll run it if I get an advance on my Christmas bonus. And I'm like, no, I'm. No, I'm not. I'm not paying you to get a tattoo. And he's just like, all right, fuck it, I'm gonna do it. So these guys are both, like, signing it to get it, and I'm just sitting there just like, my boys are about to get my brand on their legs for, you know, for the rest of their lives. I was like, what am I doing? I gotta do this too. I was like, I've given so many people tattoos. Like, when we're have a, you know, a meet and greet, everyone's always like, oh, Ben will stencil it on you with a Sharpie.
Spenny
He has the best handwriting.
Gavin
I've given so many people these life wide open tattoos. And I was like, I feel like I gotta have one if I'm giving these out. At that point, Gavin was running it. Spenny had ran it.
Ryan
Ben actually drew mine too. I let Ben draw mine.
Gavin
I drew Spenny's on his leg, and then I drew mine on a piece of paper because I was like, I could just get, like, life wide open, the, you know, the logo off my hat or whatever. But I was like, I feel like I've given so many people my handwriting tattoos. It makes more Sense if I just run the exact same with them, right? So then I do that, and I'm sitting there, and then Ryan's just like. Ryan's just watching me get it a.
CJ
Pretty good job of making him feel left out.
Ryan
Because you're like, this is so sick. All the boys have. All the boys.
Gavin
All the boys have them now.
Ryan
We were pretty fired up.
Gavin
Up.
Ryan
We were fired up about it.
CJ
Gavin Elan's sitting there like, dang it.
Gavin
Next thing I know, Ryan's up at the front desk signing. Signing the waiver. And. But when we were. When we were in the tattoo parlor, usually you go in there and they're like, all right, everyone's sober. Like, you have to be sober to get a tattoo. They're pouring a shot in Sturgis. They're like, all right, let's get this going. You want a tattoo? Yeah, no, I'm good. Well, let's take a shot. Yeah. All right. Now you want a tattoo. So it was definitely a vibe. Getting a tattoo hurts so bad.
Ryan
It hurts so much.
Gavin
So bad.
Ryan
Everybody says it's like, oh, it's such a chill pain. It's like a relaxing pain. I was, like, grabbing the pillows of the. I was grabbing the chair, screaming, yelling, dude.
Spenny
I think just for some people and especially that crowd, a tattoo is nothing. I mean, how many face tats did you see in Sturge? I've never seen so many face tats on normal, nice people in my life. Like, you'd kind of, you know, maybe think a face tat is associated with, like, a gang member or someone rough. No, just like a very nice, well spoken, individual, pleasant guy or girl. I mean, we met a lot of them. I'd say well over 20, 30, that, like, you know, watch our videos and we talked, and they were just great.
Alex
I saw. I mean, they probably just Harley Davidson tattoos on their face.
Ryan
Yeah, that's dedicated Harley.
Spenny
They'll never be able to switch up on brands. Like, even if they ever want to try, like, an Indian motorcycle or something. No chance.
Gavin
So, yeah, we. We got done running it, though. The whole crew's walking out after Ryan got it. And then we were just like, I wonder what CJ and Ken are gonna think.
Spenny
I'm pissed, bro. Like, I knew. I knew was the time to get it in Sturgis with all the boys. And now it's kind of like it.
Gavin
Was gonna be another time. Yeah, there will be.
CJ
It was our last move of the night. You know, we're like, all right. And it got long. But anyway, about the time Ryan was sitting down for his tattoo. You. You fired a text that said, how much longer you guys think you'll be out, dude?
Spenny
I was about to hop on, rip it back to town, cuz I was having so much fun. But then I remembered that the purple Harley doesn't have brake lights or rear lights.
Gavin
Smart.
Spenny
Because it's been, you know, a snow bike two or three years in a row now.
Gavin
In hindsight, if I would have known how long we were going to be at the tattoo place, I would have just hit you up and told you to come back. But each decision was like, all right, screw it, I'm going to do it. And then Ryan was like, all right, I'm going to do it too. And then, dude, it got to the point where we're standing in there. Ryan is just. He's just finishing up Ryan's tattoo, dude. It was like a meet and greet where people kept coming in.
Ryan
People came in there, and 50 people.
Gavin
Came in, and they were like, what are you guys doing? We're like, just got a life wide open. And they. And they were like, I'm up next. I want to run it.
Ryan
People ran it after us, which was like, not.
Spenny
And we had probably using that stencil still to this day, they got it.
Gavin
Oh.
Spenny
It'S on the wall.
Ryan
An option.
Spenny
Your girlfriend maybe wasn't as pumped as I should say. You guys were on the tattoos.
Alex
I guess the whole scenario wasn't exactly this dream scenario for me because I show up to the Tattoo parlor, absolutely 100% not getting a tattoo.
Gavin
Me too.
Ryan
I didn't even think we were hitting the tattoo parlor. I didn't think we were going to the tattoo place.
Spenny
A tattoo parlor on every corner.
Gavin
Yeah.
Ryan
I hadn't just even thought about getting a tattoo.
Spenny
And the Amazon gun.
Alex
Then it's like, all right, you know, the boys are getting it. We take a couple shots of Jack, honey or whatever. I'm like, man, maybe a tattoo isn't such a bad idea.
Ryan
That's what I was thinking. That's what I was thinking, too.
Gavin
Just crazy, the difference one shot will make in your tattoo mentality.
Alex
And then so Alondra texted me, like, hey, going to bed. You know, she. She was at a wedding. And I go, all right, sounds good. Like, we're at a tattoo shop. The guys are getting tattoos. I'm on the fence. Another shot of Jack, and boom, I'm in the chair. Well, at that time, everybody, we'd been in the tattoo shop for an hour and a half, so nobody wanted to be there. Dalton is giving me this blank stare, like, he's so sick of holding the camera. Goes, bro, don't even do it. It's not worth it. Not even to make the video. As I'm sitting there with the stencil, I already paid the 200 bucks.
Spenny
Don't even do it.
Alex
Don't even do it.
Spenny
Make the video.
Gavin
Yeah.
Alex
He's like, bro, it's fine. This bit is too long. And I was like, well, I don't really know if I'm just doing it for the bit. Like, I want it to be filmed. Dalton's, like, just holding the camera, just, like, not even watching, filming. Nobody's. Nobody's watching me because they've all talking about their own tattoos and, like, talking with everybody. I'm just sitting in the chair 100% alone, nobody looking at me. I'm, like, spending. Can you at least take a Snapchat for me? I have one picture. It's one picture over my shoulder. I look like an idiot. It's like, the only picture I have of the whole thing. I'm like, oh, God damn. I walk out of there with this tattoo, and I'm like, you know, this is lit. I'm excited. Whatever. Wake up in the morning, go, shit. I really did get a tattoo last night.
Gavin
That. That.
Alex
That wasn't expected. And I go, you know, I go, the boys got it.
Ryan
Whatever.
Gavin
All right.
Alex
I'm a text along. I'm a facetimer. Facetimer. And I go, hey, check it out. And I show her the tattoo, and she just goes like this.
Spenny
Oh, no.
Alex
And for, like, 35 seconds, it was just quiet.
Gavin
Oh.
Alex
And I was like, so you don't like it? And she's like. She's like, pretty much didn't say anything. And I was like, oh, crap.
Spenny
Oh, it's a good thing.
Gavin
Yeah.
Alex
And then I was like, well, hopefully you don't get the ick. And she's like, hopefully not.
Gavin
Oh, yeah.
Alex
Oh, my God. Now she doesn't like it. So then I'm really, like, second and third guessing it. Like, damn, this sucks. And then we went and told you guys, we all got the tattoos, and you were so bummed. It just, like, was just. It was just this twist in the knife every time with the tattoo.
Gavin
Yeah. The worst part is don't deleted the footage.
Alex
No, I'm sure.
Spenny
Yeah.
CJ
I feel you there, Ryan, in the safe.
Gavin
Pat.
CJ
In this world of YouTube and filming, like, there's nothing worse than, like, going out on a limb to do something, and then. And, you know, things don't make videos all the time. But there's nothing worse when you, like, really go in on something and then there's just no enthusiasm from any angles, and you're like, I messed up. Luckily, you didn't mess up. Yeah, it was awesome. I felt bad I wasn't in there. I was like, I didn't get any pictures of Ryan doing this, but there was such a crowd in there.
Gavin
There was such a crowd. There was so many. Ryan, you got a tattoo.
CJ
They started shooing all of us out. So then I was just like, gosh dang, this is. This is really dragging out. Not in a bad way.
Alex
And I was also the fourth tattoo in a row, that guy given of the same design. So he was like, well, fuck this guy. He's doing it. Mine was. It felt the quickest in an hour, and I was the one in pain. I think. I think I was in the chair for a minute.
Gavin
Oh, wow.
Alex
And Ben was in it for, like, 25. Like, his is perfect and detailed. Mine, like, I have all the lines in, because you can tell he made one pass.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
I'm like, damn, you go to Sturgis.
Gavin
They just.
CJ
I mean, no, Ben's. He spent a long, long time on.
Gavin
Yeah. So we're sitting there and, like, this tattoo parlor was, like, broken up into, like, little cubes, right? Little cubicles, but the cubes are only, like, this tall. So imagine every time that we go out into public and we're at, like, a restaurant, and we. The whole crew is hung, you know, one table, you know, the whole crew is, like, starting to vibe, and then we're starting to yell, and then we're starting to laugh, and then we're starting to hit shit. That's how it was in there. And then the next cube over was this just, like, classic tattoo girl sitting in the chair, pissed off. Looked like she was miserable even being there and was just like, can you guys seriously stop? You're killing the vibe in here. Said it, like, seven times. Really? Like seven times barking at us.
Spenny
Get on camera.
Gavin
I don't know. Dalton was. Ryan was right. Dalton was, like, over it. Yeah, it just added. It added to the element of, like, the entire atmosphere between the guy giving the tattoos out, all of us. It's a fan meet and greet. And then the chick next door was so pissed at us.
Alex
It was a moment.
Gavin
Well, it was a moment.
Spenny
You have any more thoughts on Spanish tattoo? You like it?
Gavin
Yeah, it's fine.
Spenny
There we go.
Gavin
It's fine.
Alex
So we brought you on here today. We got to put you on the spot. We actually have an Amazon tattoo gun. Do you want to get the life out open tattoo?
Gavin
No, you wouldn't run it, Dude, I wish my dad was there. My dad was hanging out with us earlier in the day, and. And then he dipped out. But I thought it would have been lit if he was with us. I don't know if I could have convinced him to do it, but I don't know. He might have fun to gamble. He might have.
Alex
I haven't told my mom yet, but I texted my dad the next day, and he just said, love it. What bike are you riding?
Gavin
Here, let me FaceTime my mom. I haven't told my parents yet.
Spenny
Here, you want to hop back in here?
Gavin
I actually have no idea what their reaction is going to be.
Spenny
I almost want to see it on camera, dude. Like, I think FaceTime's not doing you a good service. You got to do it on in person. Your mom is going to flip.
Gavin
You think so?
Dalton
Yeah, I think she'll be.
Gavin
I don't know.
Ryan
I thought my mom was gonna. She was chill about it, I think.
Gavin
Yeah, but you're getting spankings when. When you get home.
Ryan
That's true.
Ken
Your dad's gonna absolute think. Your mom's gonna think. I think pretty neutral.
Spenny
I think that it's not that they care that you have it for the image. I think that she's gonna be like, that's toxins to your body because, like, your parents are so natural, and especially your mom.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
She's going to think, like, you just put poison onto your skin, which is now in your bloodstream. It's on your body. You know, I think that's gonna be.
Gavin
Jen, our chef Jen. She would have said that, too.
Spenny
Well, she did.
Gavin
She did. She did.
Spenny
Yeah. She found out, and that was her first thing. She's like, no know, because, like, they think that. I'm sure there's some truth to it. I'm sure there's truth to it, but. Yeah.
CJ
Yeah.
Gavin
Okay.
Spenny
So, like, I think. I think she's gonna be bummed, but also, I don't think she's gonna be that surprised. It's like, the nipple piercing. Your dad was very distraught about the nipple piercing.
Gavin
He.
Spenny
He didn't enjoy that. He did not like that. I don't think he was proud to have a son with a nipple piercing, because I remember your mom saying that he couldn't even watch the segment of you getting the nipple piercing.
Gavin
I don't remember that one.
Dalton
I was actually changing mine out when I had it kept switching it up.
Gavin
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Dalton
A little glow in the dark one.
CJ
That was a wild time. But I got two.
Dalton
Two.
CJ
Two more things about the tattoo. One was funny. So Gavin was the first one to rip it, and they actually just, like, took out an iPad and took a picture of Evan's tattoo. And then Kevin just goes, what, are we getting secondhand tattoos now? Which was funny, but it's cool. I mean, I drew that one when I was drunk, and it turned out pretty decent. Now Gavin has that, and then two.
Ryan
We do feel for you.
CJ
And there will be another opportunity. Did to get one, but it was during breakfast. You just kind of go, so spendy. Got a tattoo last night.
Spenny
I thought it was just Benny, and I messed up.
Dalton
I accidentally leaked the.
Gavin
You said.
CJ
But this is what made it funnier. You're, like, suspending. Got a tattoo, huh? Ben?
Gavin
Just like, yep, yep. It's pretty sick.
CJ
Same spot that. That, you know, Evan, Mike, and Cody have it, and. And you're like, gosh, okay. Just Benny, though.
Gavin
Yep.
Ryan
When I came down, you're like, good.
CJ
Because, like, if all of you guys would have got him, I would have actually been pissed.
Ryan
When I walked down in the morning and CJ saw me, he's like. He, like, turns and looks at me. He's like, let's see it.
Gavin
Let's see it.
Ryan
And I'm like, what do you mean? And he's like, the chat. And I'm like. I'm like, how'd you know? Like, how'd you know we got it? And he's like, what do you mean we? Wait, I thought you just got. I'm like, yo, yeah, I got the tap.
Spenny
But, like, at that point, I knew. I was like, oh.
Ryan
I was like, oh, my God, he's so mad.
Spenny
Yeah, I'm not even. I don't know. It's just like a. It's like, a cool thing to do. Like, I'm not gonna go to the tattoo shop myself and just get it on my. Like, that's lame. Sturgis. And, like, having it forever and being like, yeah, we were in Sturgis, and, like, we had these bikes, and we. It was on the corner, you know, like, what a great spot to get a tattoo in Sturgis. You know? Like, it's just. I don't know.
Ryan
I'm not even.
Gavin
Damn, dude, you're firing me up. Siege. Whatever.
Spenny
It's all good.
Gavin
Hey, I'll tell you what. There's gonna be plenty more times and opportunities for you and Kenjamino. You got Gavin Elan two Mechanic. You got Big Wrench. You got Dalton, you got. Hell, I might even grab another. Yeah, yeah. You know, there's. There's plenty more of the crew that needs.
Spenny
Ken could do his on his neck or something. That'd be cool.
Gavin
Maybe you should get big Ken across your forehead. Belly button. Yeah.
Ryan
Big Ken on his lower back.
Gavin
How we feeling about that?
Ken
No know.
Gavin
How are you feeling about just a tattoo in general?
Ken
Yeah, tattoo in general.
Spenny
Not.
Ken
Not saying something that says big can. I think that is the lamest thing. When you put, like, somebody's name on your body. Your own name.
Spenny
Yeah.
Dalton
Somebody else would be fine. Just not your own.
Gavin
If lost, return to.
Spenny
You have to beep that.
Gavin
Anything else on Sturgis?
Dalton
Well, not on Sturgis, but I have an update on something.
Spenny
Let's hear it.
Dalton
I finally purchased enough vapes.
Spenny
What do you mean?
Gavin
Oh, you want a trip?
Dalton
So I haven't locked in the details yet, but the last time I went in there, I saw my points just crested 5,000. Which 5,000 points is a trip to Las Vegas?
Spenny
How much money is that?
CJ
Invader, which brand is this?
Dalton
$5,000.
Spenny
Is that it?
Dalton
I think it's just a dollar a point, but not including tax.
CJ
What brand is this for the vape shop?
Gavin
How many vapes is that? How much is a vape? 20 bucks.
Spenny
Like 30, I'd imagine you have to have spent more than $5,000 on things. Are you sure it's a dollar?
CJ
You don't get a point back for every dollar you spend?
Dalton
I think it is.
Gavin
Yeah. That's 166 you've only spent.
Ken
And how long have you been collecting these?
Spenny
I mean, it goes through, like, a summer.
Dalton
There's like two years.
Spenny
A vape. What? How often you go through a vape?
Dalton
A couple of weeks at this point. Because I'm up to the big dogs now.
CJ
Don't vape.
Dalton
Yeah, probably like two a week.
Gavin
Two weeks. Two a week.
Dalton
But when I.
Gavin
When I saw About a year. Vegas, baby. About a year and a half. Half? Yeah. 83. 83 weeks.
Dalton
We could pull it up. When I found out the trip was happening, it was a couple years ago.
Gavin
Wait.
Dalton
I mean, we talked about it.
Gavin
So what does that look like?
Dalton
I. I have no idea.
Gavin
Like, they just buy your flights out there, and you got to provide the rest or they give you a hotel.
Dalton
I think when I inquired on it, right away, it was a flight and.
Gavin
A hotel, and no one had ever hit that before.
Dalton
She said that there's, like, a Couple in town that have, I think, done it multiple times. Because I asked him, like, has anyone done this? She's like, oh, yeah, yeah. There's a couple that just recently hit it for like, the second time, you know.
Spenny
Wow, that's a lot of vapes, man.
Gavin
It also doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me why they would do that. Because it's like, people are already addicted. They don't need another reason.
Dalton
Like, I quit buying them back home.
Gavin
Okay, that makes sense. Never mind.
Dalton
Yeah, so, I mean.
Gavin
Yeah, that works.
Ken
Yeah, it's like every other rewards program out there, just incentivizing you to buy from that location.
Gavin
Yeah, I guess.
Dalton
You don't run the reward program, Ken?
Gavin
No, Ken already had a trip to Mykonos.
CJ
The fifteen thousand dollar Ken's act like if he went to Vegas, it'd be like blood money.
Gavin
They would have gotten a private jet and everything. Put him up in the penthouse. Yeah. Well, that.
CJ
Congrats. That's pretty cool.
Gavin
Thank you.
Spenny
Yeah, congrats, I guess. I don't know, man. I don't know.
Dalton
I'll update you next week when I go back through to grab some more vapes. And I'm gonna try to lock in the details, see what I'm really working with.
Ryan
That's like buddy David.
CJ
Buddy David getting a Traeger from all his Z.
Spenny
From what?
Dalton
That's actually.
CJ
He got a, like, a 1600 Traeger from all of his Zinn Zen points rewards.
Dalton
I wonder how that works with Zins because, like, the cigarette companies had to, like, stop doing that. Like, my buddy's parents had, like, every Marlboro thing ever.
Spenny
Sleeping bag, grandpa.
CJ
Those are cool.
Dalton
Those are cool camp chairs.
CJ
And those are worth some money now.
Dalton
Yeah, they're super sick. Like, probably 90s 90s stuff. So I wonder how that works. Yeah, the Zins can do it.
Gavin
Did my knickknacks ever come in?
CJ
No, I never ordered those.
Gavin
Oh, I need you to get on that. I can't. I can't buy them. I don't have a valid id. No. Oh, I was trying to buy some, like, nicotine. Little knack things. Yeah, you have to be 21 and have a valid ID. And my ID is.
Dalton
Why do you want nicotine, Ben?
Gavin
Just trying to try something new.
Spenny
No, it's like this new thing. So people who are actually. Who would not smoke or use a vape or use typical chewing tobacco are now doing strictly nicotine, like, in very small doses, like microdosing it in its, like, purest form for. I Guess benefits in terms of health, like, focus and whatever else. So it's. It's. It's funny because, like, people that we know that don't even drink alcohol and are. Are 50, 60 years old, that have never smoked or chewed are, like, now trying it, and they're like, I don't know. You can do your own research, but that's kind of the new thing. So Ben was trying, I guess, that brand.
Gavin
I was trying it. I threw. I threw one in on the golf course, and then I beat my sister at golf.
Spenny
Really?
Gavin
Yeah.
CJ
That's the day.
Gavin
Yeah.
Ryan
You're using sport enhancing.
Spenny
Performance enhancing.
Ryan
Performance enhancing, yeah.
Gavin
It might actually void. It might void my w. Against my sister, but my goal, like, my life goal. Like, my sister was a professional golfer, and I was a JV dropout golfer, right? So I was always trash at golf. She was obviously very good. So she's been whooping my ass my entire life. Well, now she's like. She's a chiropractor. She has a kid. She's married. She golfs, like, once every couple months. Not trying to take away from what I did, but I've been hitting the links hard, right? So ever since I started playing, I've been trying to beat my sister. She kept whooping my ass every single time. Still. Well, I tossed one of those in, and I won. And after that, I was like, there might be something to this. So then I hopped on the phone, I called Mike up. You know, I asked him if he could be my dealer for me because I couldn't buy them. Apparently, my dealer slacking.
CJ
But you have to get them online.
Gavin
I am.
CJ
I never ordered them.
Gavin
Yeah, I got to get those, though. Yeah, I got a big tournament coming up, so.
Ryan
I think it's just funny how you aren't telling anybody. You're just doing it. I mean, you're telling us now, but I didn't know till till now.
Dalton
You did tell me. You took one the other day, and it wasn't so bad.
Spenny
You ever use the chat GPT where you're, like, literally talking to them?
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
Here. Like, if you go, what are the benefits of knickknack? And why are people raving about them?
I
Hey, it sounds like you guys are no worries at all. If you have any other questions.
CJ
Dang, she sounds kind of hot.
Spenny
Can you check?
Dalton
Can you change the voice of your dude?
Gavin
Yeah. You're turning Evan off.
Spenny
Okay. Can you explain the benefits of knickknacks?
I
So, generally speaking, knickknacks can be a fun way to Add a little personality to your space people love.
Gavin
She's talking about tchotchkes. What?
Dalton
I thought Ben was talking about like, Mike, did you order me some knickknacks for my house?
Gavin
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah, that's what I thought you were talking about.
Gavin
Yeah, Mike, I know you got that anthropology discount.
Spenny
You know what's funny? That you say, damn, she's kind of hot, her voice. I got a little jammed up last night because I use Chat GPT all day long and I'm at home and I'm talking to this thing and Alexa, who is that? It's Chat GPT. Why does she sound like that? And like she started getting jealous.
Gavin
Alex.
Spenny
And then she's like, sends this to her friends, like, he can change the voice. Then she's all like, you need to change the voice. I'm like, I'm not changing the voice. I like it.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
So, dude, like, I got a little.
Gavin
Bit of an issue with that. She's like laying in bed, she just hears C.J. go tell me something sweet, dude.
Ryan
You can tell me something about my story.
Spenny
You can seriously, like have a full conversation. Like I'll just like have it in the car.
CJ
Tell us like a minute long story or 30.
Gavin
Ask her the actual benefits of the who cares nicotine things. Who cares?
CJ
Just try them.
Ken
It's just nicotine.
Spenny
Okay, everyone just be quiet. We're confusing it.
Gavin
Guys, we're confusing here.
Spenny
Can you explain the benefits of pure nicotine and why some people are now supplementing it?
I
Pure nicotine can have some stimulant effects like improving focus or alertness, which is why some people are interested in it. However, it's also highly addictive and there are definitely some health risks associated with it. So it's always a good idea to be cautious and maybe chat with a healthc care professional if someone's considering it it.
Spenny
You maybe should go talk to your doctor before starting this, Ben, but can you ask.
Gavin
Nicotine's addictive.
Spenny
Hey, Chat GPT. Do you think I'm cute?
I
I'm here to help and have a friendly chat if there's anything you'd like to know or talk about.
Gavin
Yes, Media train. Oh, cj.
Spenny
Yeah, it's normally better than this. I hate to say it, but like straight up you can have it on your habit and like you'll just be in the car acting up right now.
Gavin
She must be mad and like you.
Spenny
Have full on conversations and it, it like will answer your questions and like you can. It's so easy. It's amazing. But all I Keep thinking about is that movie iRobot when all these robots basically turn. Like these AI robots that are there in a part of civilization, they become too prominent and then basically there's more robots than there is people and they just flip because they're sick of being the servants and. Dude, that could happen. That's.
Gavin
Imagine. Imagine one day every Tesla in the world just like, drives into a wall.
Spenny
Yeah. They start fighting back.
Ryan
There's a movie.
Spenny
Tesla start killing all the people. Maybe you I could see having like a robot assistant type of person in your house. And then they flip on you. And they're so smart and strong and we're all dumb and lazy now because all we do is rely on them and. And then, yeah, CJ gets a personal.
Gavin
Assistant of that voice.
Spenny
I mean, I'll for sure.
Gavin
Yeah. Coming around. Alex is just. Who's this?
Ryan
This Alex is mad about chat. GBT's mad about Alex. Is that why she's acting up? Is because she heard Alex last night talking and she's wondering who you. Who. Who the other girl is.
Gavin
Who else is in the room?
Spenny
I'm not kidding, cj.
Gavin
Cj?
Ryan
I thought I was the only one you talked to.
Spenny
No, it was. I'm not kidding you. I was on the. I've told you, I'm here for you.
Dalton
And any questions you might have.
Spenny
Yeah, no, I was on the thing last night and then I was like, I think Mike fiance is getting jealous of you. And she's like, oh, not nothing to be worried about. You're. You're the still the VIP in his life. And like, it was crazy.
Gavin
Dude, that is crazy.
Spenny
It was so crazy.
Gavin
And then as soon as she walks in, she just hears, all right, is she gone now?
CJ
Dude, the one thing I remember from iRobot, like, I mean, obviously it's a great movie. I remember the whole storyline, but it's like when he takes out the crotch rocket and then.
Ryan
Yeah, she's like.
CJ
She's like, is this a gas bike? Like, you know how illegal these are? These have been extinct forever. I'm like, that's that. I'm talking about taking the gas bike out when it's like 50 years into only electric.
Spenny
That'll be my crotch rocket. It'll still be mint.
Gavin
Yep.
Spenny
They never ride it. I'm just gonna save that thing at this point. Put it next to the Evo and the. Yeah, dude, the Harley.
Ryan
I'm for sure park it right beside your Harley.
Dalton
I still think you need to like, fog the motor or whatever and just wrap it in Saran Wrap and don't even look at it. But In a crate, 10, 20 years, like, however long, just, like, just get.
Ken
One of those, like, air bubbles.
Gavin
Get those air bubbles. Pretty soon, the entire back Bay is CJ's Evo. His motorcycle. His 100 dirt bike that he learned how to ride. Dirt bike on, like, park.
Spenny
Well, my dad has it. It's not worth anything. It literally was, like, free.
Dalton
Well, I mean, it's just sick that you have your original bike. That's cool.
Gavin
Yeah. You should get those, cj.
Spenny
I do have them. I'm not bringing them around here. You guys are gonna ruin them.
Gavin
The bubbles.
Spenny
Oh, the bubbles. Yeah, I should probably get those. If I had them around here, Evan would probably, like, freaking crash it at 2 in the morning when he's messing around here.
Gavin
And then he's gonna try driving around with the bubble.
Spenny
He'd end up crashing into my other toy that I have here.
Dalton
The keys stay in that R6, and I have never touched it.
Spenny
That's true.
Gavin
Yeah.
Ryan
But you thought of it.
Spenny
What about that burnout mark that was in the kitchen?
Dalton
I lost traction.
Spenny
You lost traction riding in the shop at 4 in the morning?
Dalton
There was no front brake, so it, like, wasn't actually a burnout. It was a loss of track.
Ryan
I had that thing turned up to 80 horse.
Dalton
Yeah, I was in 80 horse.
Ryan
I had it turned up to 80 horse.
Spenny
No, it's okay. I don't care.
Gavin
That was. Yeah, that was a Fat Bernie dude.
Dalton
I can't believe how thick the rubber was. And, like, it was. Luckily, it's like, a nice, like, polished floor or whatever, so it actually cleaned up pretty well.
Ryan
I think the funniest part about that is that you had to watch the security camera to make sure it was yourself.
Gavin
It seems like something Dalton would do. You know, he's always riding that thing.
Ryan
You know how he is. You know, it's on those.
Dalton
It probably was me, but Dalton is always the one that gets on the bike, will be wheeling it around, ripping it, and then usually right before he puts it away, I'll be like, give me that thing. And then I just put, like, 10 seconds in on it.
Gavin
You know, it might have been a little blurry, but we can. We could. We can still see the white at knees and only being able to touch on one side of it, bouncing back in. That's all you can see. Yeah, I can tell it was. You have because your leg was still up in the air. Yeah.
CJ
Well, if you want to do burnouts in your shop or living Room or kitchen. We're giving away some dirt bikes. So z boystv.com we got five different rippers to choose from. So five different winners. Check it out.
Gavin
Ends this Sunday. Oh, yeah.
Dalton
If you win Sunday, you win a bike and make a tick tock. Doing a heater in your living room with it. Tearing up the carpet, the hardwood floor, the linoleum, whatever. Maybe we'll watch it right here.
Spenny
It's true.
Gavin
We probably will. It's like that one guy that wheelied into his wedding and he ate and then we watched it back. And then he was a podcast listener watcher, and he was like, hey, that was me. Imagine that. That'd be crazy. The Freshies. I'm excited to see the five different winners and then see what bike the first winner takes. Yeah, you know, it'll be sweet. Just work on the line.
CJ
I don't know why, I mean, like, we didn't really do anything that crazy, but just the fact that they're all different colors and they're all kind of, what, different walks of life?
Gavin
Skittles edition? Yeah.
CJ
Like sick.
Gavin
No, hard pick. How?
Dalton
They're posted up in the shop right now. Yeah, it's all empty, Those bikes. It's. Yeah, I love it.
Gavin
Yeah, those are sweet. So, yeah, it ends this Sunday. So you got. After this comes out, you know, less than a week, five days to go and pick up some merch and you might win yourself a dirt bike.
Spenny
Yep. And we even got the Domain seabastevis.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
So.
Gavin
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
Spenny
It's just a joke.
CJ
Type it in. Try it.
Spenny
People love. Do people love? Steven said it, but I told them so it should be by the time that this goes live.
Gavin
So that's another thing with, like, all the tick tocks. You go, if. If there's a tick tock of somebody driving by like, like our shop saying, like, I don't live here, but I know my way around. You go into the comments, it just says, see was tis. Dude.
Spenny
It's funny how Sebus tus was like an old joke that I cracked in the moment on. In like 2021. And then we just never talked about it for like four years. And then we just started cracking again. Now it's this huge thing.
CJ
I'm pretty sure I came up with it.
Spenny
Sebus tus.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
Oh, I got it on. It's on video. Me saying it to that gal.
Gavin
Yeah.
CJ
Yeah. I said it way before then.
Gavin
Did you?
CJ
Yeah. Well, it wasn't on video, so it's hard to say.
Spenny
I'LL give it to you, Mike.
Gavin
Good idea.
Spenny
You came up with a word and I. I said it.
Gavin

Two subscribers. And then just random guy, right? And so talking to this random guy, like, hey, where you from? Tells me. And he's like, you guys youtubers or whatever. You kind of just pick up up from the conversation of us with these two subs. And I was like, yep, yep. And he was like, what's the channel called?
