Transcript

[A]

Whoa.

[B]

Benny, what are you doing? Making biscuits.

[A]

We're just finishing up.

[C]

We started.

[A]

It's an hour and 15 minutes after our start time.

[C]

Well, I've been running all your freaking errands, Ryan.

[A]

What errands?

[C]

They're your errands.

[A]

Your name was on the sheet.

[D]

Fair. Fair.

[C]

I do not have much of an argument after that.

[A]

I tried to get him to put my name and he's like, no, let's just put. Let's just put the president. I was like, they're all equal here. It's. It could be me. He goes, wow, let's just have Ben do it. And I was like, who said that? This guy from the title company.

[C]

Oh, bro, I was at the title company and I was at the bank and then they sent me to the courthouse.

[A]

Jesus.

[C]

I was all over the place.

[D]

Ben's only facing 10 days jail time. He was at court.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

Damn.

[B]

I.

[C]

Yeah. I didn't even know that you guys were rolling. What's going on? What are you talking about?

[A]

You.

[B]

I wasn't per se yelling your name, but I was going.

[D]

Action.

[A]

Well, I was just about to start telling this story about this guy. His mom died as he was born, you know. Really, really sad. This is back in 1856 and he didn't have a dad, so monks adopted him. So he moved up to the top of this mountain in. In a country that I can't find.

[B]

Is this a guy who's never seen a woman?

[A]

He lived 82 years of life.

[B]

Insane.

[A]

Never even set eyes on a woman.

[B]

I know like what a. You know, a female was.

[A]

He's a monk, dude. It's not like he's up there watching movies.

[D]

So was he jerking off gay then? Cuz you got to have some kind of.

[B]

Honestly, I would say no, because I don't think they're. I. I don't think they're really allowed to.

[D]

Sexual attraction, you know, inside, like his own thoughts. You gotta have some kind of asexual, possibly. Yeah, more of like a thing that. Do you develop from your like, surroundings or would you just be born that way?

[B]

You roll a good point.

[A]

Yeah. If you're up there.

[D]

Did he die?

[B]

Yeah, I think he's.

[D]

And he never saw.

[B]

Never saw.

[C]

So he never found out.

[A]

Pretty tough.

[C]

I would like to know how many less problems that guy.

[A]

Probably at least a couple, actually.

[B]

Well, think. Yeah. Being a monk and not knowing what women are, he probably didn't have any problems.

[C]

Okay, hold on. What about the rest of the monks? Did none of them communicate like at all?

[B]

That's kind of what I was wondering.

[A]

No, I think they talked, but they're all just men.

[C]

Knew that.

[B]

I think women exist. He heard wise tales. Real stories. Yeah, but.

[A]

Yeah, like, there was. There's no women allowed in the monastery, so he never saw. I mean, I feel like he got it. He had to have seen a picture or something. How could he go his whole life?

[C]

I don't know. I'm trying to. I'm trying to even wrap my head around what's going on.

[A]

So it happens when you show up a little late to the podcast, you know, you're a little. That's pretty behind.

[B]

All right, so what are we doing tonight?

[D]

Tonight, I. Ryan, I'll let you do the talking.

[B]

You know, you guys all looked at me like you had no clue. Like, we haven't had a plan.

[D]

I'm just hoping this plan.

[A]

It was a hard launch. That's what caught me off guard.

[D]

It really was.

[A]

No, actually, I was done.

[B]

To be done talking about monks.

[A]

Me, too. Tonight we're gonna go to the cities, Mike. We're gonna visit our friends Twin six. So we had them on the podcast, actually, probably, I don't know, a month or two ago, and they have their first headlining concert at a club in Minneapolis. So we're going to take the Sprinter down. I'm pretty excited.

[D]

We got VIP table.

[B]

Yeah, VIP table. Like, kind of doing it big. And it'll be really fun, and hopefully we have a little bit of an in. But guess what I'm most excited about. Mark and Tint surprised us with three subwoofers in the Sprinter van. And it obviously bumps, and I just think it's going to bring the level of drunkness, like, way up. Like, in a good way and a bad way.

[A]

It's almost impossible not to.

[B]

That's what I mean.

[C]

We needed.

[B]

We, like, turned it up, and it was just like. It was too good. It's like, all you need is a beer.

[D]

I'm a little worried about getting too larried up and walking around downtown Minneapolis. It's a rough place.

[C]

I would be lying if I said I wasn't slightly concerned. Okay.

[D]

Yeah, I'm not. I shouldn't say worried. I'm just a little concerned. Like, I don't know if I'll be getting all rowdy. I'm gonna be like, the girls, they.

[A]

Were like, oh, let's get this hotel. It's in, like, this place, and it's a name brand and all this stuff, and our hotel is really nice. And I was like, I Don't want us to have to run across Minneapolis at 2:30am so I bought us the closest hotel. It's a Motel 7. It's right there, right across from the venue.

[D]

Is it really?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Motel 7. Oh, I was gonna say, dude, it's.

[A]

Really nice, but I just picked the closest one to the venue. It's like a block.

[C]

So me and. Me and Mike, are we shacking up? You and Ken?

[B]

For sure.

[D]

You guys got a king.

[B]

Yeah. Did we get Evan and Nikki their own room?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

That's very nice of Ken to do.

[A]

So, but they needed their.

[B]

They needed it. Yeah.

[D]

Well, yeah.

[C]

I'm not jacking up with Evan. No chance I would sleep in the hall before I slept in that room.

[D]

Dude, I think Ken actually booked the room. Just you two.

[B]

You and, like, us to.

[D]

No, no, no. Ken and Ben together. That's what he said.

[A]

You guys will be in, like, the sweet.

[C]

Huh?

[A]

You'll be in like a sweet, sweet lover.

[C]

Where are you going?

[A]

Well, I'm saying that Ken's not gonna stay in, like.

[C]

Yeah, no, I tell you why. Kenny booking himself the normal room. Like, he booked everyone else. I tell you that much.

[B]

That's like his bonus for doing the booking every time. He's like, no, it's just off on.

[C]

Putting me and CJ Mostly in the shittiest spots.

[B]

I mean, you guys act like you stay in the Motel Sevens.

[C]

Oh, it's not that. It's just the. It's just the. The plane tickets, main tickets, and everything else.

[A]

Well, I will let you know. We're going to Florida next week for something we'll probably talk about later. But I did the liberty of moving you two from the back row of the plane. I moved you up to the exit rows in all the seats.

[C]

See, that's what I'm saying, though.

[D]

Why were we there in the car.

[C]

In the back of the plane?

[A]

Because you just buy main cabin tickets.

[B]

That's what I'm wondering.

[C]

He's too smart for that. I know. He ain't just buying main cabin tickets. I know he can choose Kenny.

[B]

I'm convinced that he just buys tickets and then you get put.

[A]

I mean, I was in, like, the mid. I was in a middle seat in, like, row 29. And you guys were in, like, the back seats in row 38. And I was like, well, this sucks. So I moved us up to the exit rows. I gave myself the window seat because I put. I did it.

[C]

So it is me, Ken and Micah.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

One room. Yeah. But Tint just dropped out so you.

[C]

We gonna talk about?

[A]

You won't have to do four in a week.

[C]

We're gonna talk about the last time that Ken had to sleep in a room with Micah.

[A]

Oh, man, I want to so bad.

[B]

Can we just talk about it?

[C]

Get my dad on here. He wants to talk about it.

[B]

He's laughing. We think it's pretty damn funny. No, let me just tell the story.

[D]

Okay, if you want.

[C]

Yeah. This is fantastic.

[B]

But how many times can you piss yourself while you're drunk? And you have, like, a piss yourself while you're drunk problem? Like, actually, like, how many times would you say?

[C]

Twice. I would say twice more than twice.

[B]

Three.

[A]

Three.

[B]

I'm on three.

[A]

Three.

[B]

I'm on three.

[C]

Well, to be fair, you didn't piss yourself.

[D]

You just peed on the floor or. And the bench or whatever.

[B]

No, I go, well, that's what I mean. It just in general, pissing anywhere other than the toilet or somewhere safe outside. But Ken's rolling in now. We're in Vegas, and we. Like, this was a couple months ago.

[D]

There was, like, three days.

[B]

Yeah, it was a couple. And so, like, eventually, I get so bored of gambling that I just split off and I went to the CVS, bought some of them cut waters that are like 12 and a half percent. Two of them. I'm already, like, two deep. Drink two more. That's a. And then had some shots with a shot with some subs. That's it. But they're. They're really strong. And I just was kind of, like, just wandering around, people watching, doing mica things.

[C]

Pop up a picture of what you were wearing when you were doing it too.

[B]

And I was wearing a goofy outfit, but, yeah, I was running into a couple subs. And that's kind of what originally, like, got the fire going.

[D]

Because five drinks made you, like, that mean.

[B]

I'd been drinking before, but, like, keep in mind, it's like having a drink at dinner all the way until probably at this time, it was 11:30.

[C]

Okay. At any point, could somebody have slipped something in your drink?

[A]

Maybe? That's what I'm trying to.

[D]

The heck's trying to drink.

[B]

Yeah, I know that.

[C]

On the side of the street, the record with the homeless, though, and he's.

[B]

Like, maybe something out with them. Well, you were a little bit with them.

[C]

No, I was in there. People watching.

[B]

I wasn't even speaking to them. I was, like, taking Snapchats of them.

[C]

From the corner, so they weren't even hanging out.

[A]

You looked like you fit in. You were the perfect balance.

[C]

Weren't people giving you money?

[B]

Money? No.

[C]

Sorry, Ryan, where are we? The perfect balance of what you were.

[A]

The perfect balance of, like, looked like you belonged in Vegas and homeless. You just blended in everywhere.

[B]

Is this story getting twisted? Weren't people giving you money?

[C]

You told me, you said I was sitting on the side of the street.

[B]

And people were giving me money. Like, people. Like, I looked like people could have walked up and given me money, but.

[A]

But you looked fresh. You looked like it. You weren't quite so far gone that they could maybe save you with that $5 y.

[B]

And then I guess, basically, I, I, I, you know, cut out there, kind of blacked. And Evan wakes me up in the hallway shortly, not far from my room. But, like, why am I in the hallway, man? Come on.

[E]

You're on the right floor, but the wrong side of the hotel.

[B]

Yeah, like, I. I didn't make it to the room, and I.

[A]

Did you have a room key?

[B]

I was. Yeah, I had a room key. My wall.

[A]

So you literally just were like. Brain was like, what?

[B]

Yeah, and then. That's the worst thing.

[D]

Went to bed there.

[B]

Did you trip?

[C]

Did you.

[B]

I'd like to imagine that I tripped and down. Yeah, no, that, like, that's the thing. It's like, why was I like, yeah, I can't do her going to bed. So anyway, he wakes me up and he was like, what are you doing, man? And then you hit the room. Thank God. All went. All Went well. Hit the bed. All was well. And then. But like, I'm only telling this story under one condition. Like, you can't play the video because it's really embarrassing.

[C]

Oh, that's fair. But I don't think we didn't show the video.

[B]

Yeah, wieners.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

But basically, middle of the night, Ken wakes up to the sound of a heavy stream, and he's like.

[E]

It sounded like there's a water leak somewhere in the room.

[B]

You know, he's kind of like, what?

[C]

The pitch dark in there.

[E]

Lights are off, blinds are closed.

[B]

Starts recording before the lights are on. Flicks the lights on. It's your worst nightmare. I'm just pissing on the floor.

[A]

But not. Not just any way.

[D]

You were.

[C]

Yeah, you were, like, doing one of.

[E]

Hands were on the back.

[C]

The old tripod.

[B]

Yeah, tripoding with my head.

[C]

The old tripod.

[D]

It's probably because you had a boner or something.

[B]

I think I had a leg. A little morning wood and. Yeah. But the worst part was it was just a lot. It was like the full.

[A]

It was a Full.

[B]

No, but the best capacity. Oh yeah, the best part, the funniest.

[E]

Thing was you said, it's okay. Ryan said he'd take care of it.

[B]

But no, it was, it was like less friendly because Ken goes, micah, what are you doing? And then I kind of like look back at him with angry eyes. Not much anger in my voice.

[D]

But you get mad at him for telling you to stop pissing on the floor? Almost.

[B]

Ryan was taking care of it. Why did I say that?

[C]

Because you two are getting so close.

[D]

I don't know. Do you typically clean up?

[B]

Yeah. Does he? But that's the thing. Does he typically clean up anything that I do? In a sense, like, not really. And I was just like. I thought Ryan was taking care of it. So then whenever, let's say Jason over here getting, getting a real kick out of the story, I go, you should have seen the look on Ryan on my face when I found out Ryan wasn't taking care of. And then like, yeah, luckily the next day was our like last day there. But like I did my best to clean it up. Stinky.

[C]

Did you?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean you do like put towels on it and like put water on it. That's about it.

[C]

Honestly, that's the least of Vegas hotels.

[B]

That was the worst part. I was doing it more for a courtesy of us being in the room. I did not want it to smell. That's so embarrassing.

[A]

I gotta give Ken credit. He was like freaking Steven Spielberg.

[C]

Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

[A]

Here's the stream. In his sleep, wakes up before he's even turned on the light is recording and then reaches over, turns on the light and perfectly gets Micah in frame. Peeing, gives good commentary. Micah, what are you doing? Because you were shocked. And keeps the phone right there on him the whole time.

[E]

The only thing I'm mad about is I didn't record longer cuz he had a few other lines that was just complete nonsense.

[A]

Yeah, you should have had him all the way till he fall asleep.

[B]

Yeah, honestly. True. I thought you're going to say I'm mad that I didn't record him longer cuz he just kept peeing.

[A]

Was amazing.

[B]

What'd you do?

[C]

Go back to sleep?

[E]

Yeah, I was like, it, it's 5:00am, I'm going back to bed.

[C]

What you do then, Mike?

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

He, he, then I don't over on that other part.

[E]

He plopped face first on the bed, like halfway, halfway down it, and then just fell asleep.

[A]

Do you even remember doing that?

[B]

No.

[A]

Like you were an autopilot.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

So the next morning, we obviously wake up to the video.

[B]

Incredible.

[C]

And all of us. All of us in pretty much disbelief of what we were witnessing. And then, honestly, for the longest time, we were just. We were going to keep it a secret. Just keep it kind of hush hush.

[B]

No, I just didn't want to. I just didn't want to have the video surface for whatever reason, like, because keep in mind, blurring is a thing. I just don't want that.

[C]

Honestly, I don't blame you there. Yeah, I wouldn't blame you there one bit.

[A]

Oh, maybe just put up a picture of your face when you realize what you're doing.

[B]

Yeah, there you go.

[C]

That. It is slightly. I mean, I wouldn't say slightly. It is pretty concerning that you can get that blackout drunk and piss the bed on the bed standing up. Standing up and not remember it.

[B]

I. Yeah, I'd say so. Yeah.

[C]

One time I was.

[D]

I wouldn't say that's concerning at all.

[A]

I think I know what's.

[B]

Yeah, I can't, like, disagree with that.

[C]

But are you gonna say one time I was younger and my friends, my good friends.

[A]

Oh, no. Does Jason know this story or is he already.

[B]

Yeah, no, he knows.

[C]

I don't think he knows.

[B]

Well, he hasn't heard the backstory, maybe. Keep in mind, I've never done this. Doesn't help my case much.

[C]

There's this alcohol. It's called Ice Hole Plum. If anyone is of age and has drank it, they know the pain that I'm about to say. I finished the entire bottle and I.

[A]

You were a bit of a lightweight.

[C]

I was a bit of a lightweight and I was in no position to do so. But my friends who were older, experienced, slightly older, said that it'd be okay. Everything would be coerced.

[B]

You in? Yeah.

[C]

So I finished this bottle of Ice Hole Plum, go to bed, wake up in the middle of the night, projectile vomit all over my room, Ice hole plum, vomit everywhere. So I come to. This is what made me think of it is like, I was so drunk and I did that, but I still remember doing it and then trying to clean it up afterwards where, like, I just, you know, it's. It's crazy that you were, like, so blacked out you don't remember doing it. But I clean it up and, like, I'm trying to clean my comforter and my walls and, like, all that. It's like, disgusting. Right? And. And then my dad comes into my room the next morning and he goes, what happened? I go, I had some bad orange juice.

[B]

Do you Remember that, dad, you told him orange juice.

[C]

Bad.

[D]

Orange juice.

[B]

Yeah, bad.

[C]

I don't think he bought it. I don't think you bought it. But yeah, that was. That was definitely the last time that I've ever drank. Ice hole Plum. And honestly, I just like. That scarred me so much.

[B]

I just.

[C]

I feel like never want to get that drunk. But it's amazing that you just continue to.

[B]

Well, I've said it before. There's. There's definitely like. I'm not denying like getting blackout, but there's. There's things to it. Some people get angry, some people get mopey, some people cry. Some people fight. Some people, I mean, you know, there's just like different things. And for me it's just like pissing the bed. No, I'm not, I'm not. Yeah. Yeah, I'm still like a. I guess I'm a drunk pisser. But it. For me it's just like memories just aren't being formed.

[A]

Damn.

[B]

Yeah, it's unfortunate.

[A]

Speaking of memories being formed, you guys remember. Oh man, this was a while back. We were over at. At Dave's land and we were in a field and we were trying to remember the name of a song. The song goes by the name of Chill Bill.

[B]

Beautiful segue, by the way.

[A]

I have, you know, taken a note out of your guys's handbook. I'm watching you buy investable things such as houses or water trucks. Water trucks, stuff like that. And I found this site called Royalty Exchange where I was actually able to purchase some of the producers rights to the song Chill Bill.

[B]

Shut up. What?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Wait, what?

[D]

Yeah, always some kind of gimmick with.

[C]

Wait for how much?

[A]

Well, that was the thing. There ended up being a little auction and did. It did get a little more pricey than I was expecting.

[B]

I mean, yeah, but to be expected. Banger.

[A]

Yeah, but it does make money year over year.

[B]

What?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

How much money in the song?

[C]

How much?

[A]

$8,000.

[C]

You shut up, dude. Shut up.

[B]

That's dope.

[A]

It makes thirteen hundred dollars a year though.

[B]

That's dope.

[C]

Really?

[B]

Now we. Now we just got a pump. Chill Bill. I mean, you do your thing.

[C]

Well, yeah. So Ryan can make all the money from the videos then. Yeah, I bet he would like that, wouldn't he?

[A]

I gotta make it a fraction of a penny every time that copywritten video plays.

[C]

You actually bought it for eight grand and it makes 1300 bucks a year?

[A]

It did last year. No return.

[B]

This is. This is just for you or like.

[A]

So everybody out there.

[B]

Yeah. I love the idea of, like, yeah, like, stock investing in a song. I did not know that was a thing.

[A]

And it was actually pretty cheap. There's some that are really expensive.

[B]

Yeah, I'm sure. And also some that are probably cheaper than eight grand. Mm.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Well, they must not have too much faith in it. They're selling it, though.

[B]

That's what I want.

[D]

They're like, let's cash out now.

[A]

It's kind of like the.

[B]

Once this.

[A]

You know, if you were a producer, like, this guy had to be like a freaking third or fifth producer on it. Like, he just had a tiny little part, so he's like, well, I can get my cash out of it instead of just waiting for it to build up.

[C]

So how much percentage do you own?

[A]

I'm. I'm not actually sure on that.

[C]

Is this a real contract?

[B]

It's got to be really small.

[A]

Yeah. Well, to be fair, the deal has not quite settled yet, but it should be by the end of the day and for sure by the time this podcast has gone live.

[C]

What other songs?

[B]

I'm all for it. That's.

[C]

Every time we hop in, the Sprinter, Ryan's going to be like, oh, my God.

[A]

Hey, can we play Chill Bill?

[C]

Can you just give me a. Give me a little riff of Chill Bill so it refreshes my memory.

[A]

Rob Stone. Two damn phones, Babylon and crack the.

[C]

Code used to sip on Styrofoam.

[A]

So stream Chill Bill.

[B]

Wow, that's dope.

[D]

No, it's copyrighted.

[A]

I can't uncopyright it.

[B]

I love that.

[C]

Okay, cool.

[B]

That's a really cool piece of information. I feel like I might find myself doing something along those lines. Probably just buy another water truck, though.

[C]

Some of us buy water trucks. Some of us buy stock and chill stock and chill pills.

[A]

I figured it kind of fit, though, you know, it was like a song that. Meaning.

[B]

No, I. I love that. That's why I love when CJ's like. And you pick Chill Bill. But I mean, like. Yeah, like, I love that.

[D]

That has to be in, like, what. Our third or fourth video. It's the fat kid rides to.

[B]

Yep.

[D]

For burrito or something.

[B]

It was just such a. It was such a genuine interaction. Like, put it up.

[A]

Can't.

[B]

Can't copyright. Oh, what's the. But. But it was such a genuine interaction. So when he pulls up riding and then, like, Ryan pulls up, and then you're like, yo, what's the song? That's like.

[D]

It drove a bunch of comments.

[C]

Yeah, we still get comments about it.

[B]

Yeah. And then People commented and content. Content for years and years because they all knew the song. Wow.

[C]

Damn, Ryan, dude, Congratulations.

[B]

Big purchase.

[C]

Congratulations. Congrats, man. That's pretty cool.

[D]

Yeah, I like it.

[C]

Ryan, I think you should keep buying them.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

We. We could go shopping for more.

[D]

What else is on there? Just out of curiosity, you know, like.

[A]

Here'S Glee's profit participation. This one's lifer rights. It. It's listed for 1.3 million, but it earned 120,000 in the last year.

[B]

Wow.

[D]

I didn't even like a thing.

[B]

Yeah, they needed.

[D]

It's really interesting.

[C]

So would it be diminishing though, year after year? Possibly.

[D]

Unless it's a timeless song.

[A]

Unless I start a TikTok campaign. That chill bill then goes famous, everybody starts streaming it. Boom, I'm rich.

[D]

Not that might not happen if Montana has anything to say about it.

[A]

Montana?

[D]

Yeah. The Montana governor banned TikTok.

[B]

What? Yeah.

[D]

Well, at least they will. They. Their legislature. I don't know. You know. All I know is that they passed a bill and they're banning TikTok. And if like, I guess there's like fines up to $10,000 a day and so you can use it, but now it's like going to some other thing because it's deemed unconstitutional. So it's just like they pass it, but it's not in effect.

[B]

I did hear about that. Not particularly Montana, but states were going to try to do that and they were like, how do you do that?

[C]

How do you like, would you be.

[D]

Able to ban kind of like North Korea or whatever or China? How like when you're in. In their country, like certain websites you can't have access to. Like would they have that in cross the border Montana all of a sudden?

[B]

TikTok don't work countrywide. I kind of get it. But yeah, that's the thing like statewide that really sucks.

[D]

I don't really use TikTok, but like imagine your avid user would suck. But I guess there are supposedly trying to protect them from the Chinese.

[A]

It'll really suck. That last couple hours driving to I'm dealing.

[B]

I just really. I don't want political at all with it. But it's like the crazy thing is is that there is some concern with China that is Chinese owned. But a lot of news that. That I get or that people get is from TikTok and it. It's basically explaining the news that our government doesn't want us to hear. Very simple, straightforward things happening in our country that you don't really see anywhere else. That I'm only seeing on TikTok and a little bit of Instagram because I follow certain pages. The rest is just throttled. So it's actually the US government not wanting us to use it as a free platform. It's not really. Yeah, make sure you get your tin full of hats on, guys.

[A]

That's interesting. That's how you use TikTok, Mike. I don't use it for that at all.

[B]

No, I mean, I don't use it for that. Yeah, like, I don't have any. That's what I mean. You guys remember like the. The Palestine, whatever, Ohio. I don't know the actual name, but you know that big train derailment, like, it wasn't talked about on mainstream media at all. And then there was all these, like, there was like train derailments and like, like huge, huge chicken farms and a cow farm all going up in flames around the country. Do you guys know that? I didn't know that until you did.

[D]

Yeah, well, I heard about it.

[B]

I didn't know that until really I saw it on TikTok and people are ranting and raving and they're like, yes, I'm just giving you information you need to know. But other than that, there's nothing. All I gotta say is, don't watch the news.

[A]

Bad shit happens every day. I just pay attention to the funny stuff.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

So if there's all this stuff going on on TikTok and the government doesn't want it because you can share all this information and they're not sure if it's misinformation or whatever it is, how come 95% of our TikToks get taken down if they got.

[B]

Oh, that's because they're too dangerous.

[C]

Loose parameters of what's allowed.

[D]

Yeah. Doing a wheelie on your bike.

[A]

Ye.

[B]

For the record, I'm so glad they finally, like, changed that.

[C]

Did they?

[A]

Yeah, everything I post on our TikTok, it's taken.

[B]

But, like, how much have you been posting lately? A little less.

[A]

Pretty much quit because it's so fucking annoying. So I'm just saying you make an edit.

[B]

They did, they did change that a little bit for the better. Like, luckily I just posted it like just a throwback video of Jake's Mustang. And I was like, this is gonna get taken down. And then I was like, oh, yeah, no, it doesn't really get taken down anymore. And also, I just love if you say performed by professionals, then they just like put the little disclaimer in there. So that has changed. But.

[A]

Or they just still get throttled and they don't get angry. Yeah.

[B]

You could be riding a Coleman and rev it up a little too high, and they'd be like, whoa, that's dangerous.

[C]

I don't.

[D]

I just have a hard time thinking that China's got anything to gain from having my information. You know what I'm saying?

[B]

Well, that's kind of how I feel, too.

[D]

But I guess having masses. Maybe they can compile data and have an idea, but I don't know. So anyways, dude.

[A]

Mike, have you been feeling sick lately?

[B]

I am sick, dude.

[A]

Okay, So I don't.

[D]

The toilet paper.

[A]

Is that what that's for?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

No, it is. Well, I've only blown my nose once.

[D]

And he's actually taking a shit on the floor.

[C]

He's eyeing up the table.

[B]

We're getting tripod spots twisted already. Like, I'm the. I'm the drunk piss guy. I guess now. And now I'm.

[A]

Be careful.

[D]

Next. You never know when he's gonna start peeing, especially after a few drinks.

[B]

Yeah, no, Ben was. It was tough. Like, when. When we get sick. It really is tough because we run on. On all cylinders pretty much at all times. We've mentioned. Luckily, we've been able to take, like, a day or two off, a weekend here and there. But Ben was sick editing last week's video, and I felt really bad.

[C]

You were, like, brutal, dude. I went through a roll and a half of toilet paper blowing my nose.

[B]

And. And now when you said that, I was like, holy crap. And now I get it.

[A]

I mean, we definitely all have been a little bit under the weather lately, but, dude, the air quality from Canada being on fire every summer.

[D]

Yeah. Why?

[C]

It's not summer. It's not summer. How is there a forest fire already? What's going on?

[A]

I don't really know. And it's actually always really pissed me off. I'm sorry. Canadians love y'. All.

[B]

Doesn't, like, every year at this time, though.

[C]

It happens in, like, August.

[B]

Oh, it happens, like, after dry. Oh, no, no.

[D]

What are you talking about?

[B]

Two times. Two times. We get that early. We get that early season when there's.

[A]

Not snow on the ground. Canada's on fire is what I equate it to. Every time when I'm supposed to be out getting tan, enjoying the sun, it's like there's this gloomy haze. I took a video. I'll put it up, of me driving to work, and it literally can't even see across the lake. It's so Smoky. And we're a long ways away from the fires.

[B]

That's the crazy part.

[D]

But we are right below Canada.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

The one.

[B]

There's, like, one cool thing I can chalk it up as. When it's super smoky like that and the sun is blazing, you can stare straight at the sun and it's just.

[A]

This perfect, like, orange.

[B]

Orange circle. It's so dope.

[D]

Yeah, Mike. Mike goes out and sees how long he can stare at.

[A]

See.

[C]

What is he doing out there?

[B]

CJ's gonna. He's gonna be the death of me.

[C]

He's gonna.

[B]

So worried about rumors being spread about him, and he spread so many rumors about me. I swear to God, if there's any rumors about me, 75 of them wait.

[A]

For CJ tonight to be up on stage with twin sick and go. My friend. Mike stares at the song and then the crowd goes wild.

[D]

That reminds me of that episode of Billy and Mandy. Remember the one kid on there, and he's like. He just stares at the sun. His eyes are all burnt out.

[B]

Yeah, that sounds, like, stupid.

[D]

I don't know. That's not.

[C]

I would say if. If CJ's gonna take a rumor and run, I would give him that all day to take.

[B]

I wouldn't.

[D]

What other rumors have I ever spread about that?

[C]

I.

[B]

On the floor.

[D]

When I. I didn't. I said I was cracking a joke. He might take a. On the floor. Just talk about you.

[B]

But I think, like, that. I think that it was said three times within this podcast. Could be said two more times tonight, one more time tomorrow.

[D]

Mike, that's all old news. You pissing on everything. It's just come to light now. You brought yourself to light on.

[B]

I did. I never.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

So I guess I'll just catch you when you do. If you do.

[D]

Yeah. If I pee.

[B]

No, no, no. If you tell people.

[D]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[B]

I know you can tell people that I pee because that's not a rumor.

[D]

You just aired it out to the whole world.

[B]

No, that's the thing. I'm not talking about that because I did. Like, that's not a rumor.

[D]

I'm confused as to what this rumor.

[B]

So, like, I mean, we had a very, very, very intense conversation about this. Like, cracking jokes around the wrong people sometimes if it doesn't even sound like you're maybe joking. Like, people.

[D]

People don't. Yeah. Pick up on.

[B]

Can get picked up as Mike shits on floors. And that's not a big deal, for the record. Like, that's funny.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

You can't have Mike go Over to your house?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, really? Well, why not? He seems like such a good kid. Well, yeah. Last time I had him over, he had one non alcoholic bush light on my carpet.

[D]

Mike goes over somewhere and they're like, they got this massive litter box and he's like, you guys have cats? No, no, we just, you know, we've heard about you.

[A]

No, he's a litter box new dog that they like, put a fence up so he can only be on the hard surface flooring.

[C]

When Mike gets orders a drink at the bar, they bring him toilet paper with it.

[B]

I love that. Like, they're serving me a shot. No pissing. No pissing.

[C]

Dude. Some kid was telling us the other day that his high school, there's somebody that identifies as. As a cat or something. So they have a litter box in the classroom. Really?

[D]

Yeah, a furry.

[A]

That's awesome.

[C]

Is that true or not?

[B]

It's.

[C]

Is that true?

[D]

That's. Yeah, supposedly it's in West Fargo.

[B]

Oh, locally?

[C]

Yeah, I've heard it a couple, actually.

[A]

I feel like if that type of stuff was common when you two were in school, you two would have done it just to be a nuisance.

[B]

So this is. Yeah, this is like this. This is the tweet. It just said. It just said, can I see a movie? I want a movie where a 90s bully comes, goes into a school in 2023 and that's just the movie. Wow. I mean, they have to have a great movie. I saw it and I go, oh, that'd be so funny.

[D]

I don't think those kids would be able to take it.

[B]

I don't think they would either.

[D]

I mean, you'd be thrown out of school so quick.

[B]

Yeah, that's the thing. The bully would be like kicked out in like a day. But.

[C]

Oh, you're saying, like the entertaining, the art would be the bully bullying.

[D]

Like, it'd be too easy for him.

[B]

Yes. And I'm not like getting off to him bullying. It's just the whole.

[A]

That's good because he's a child.

[B]

The whole scenario. Of. Of. Yeah. Of him, like that means. Well, what Ryan just said, he's like, if you guys. We're in high school right now, you guys were 16.

[D]

Oh, I'd be playing pranks.

[B]

Yeah. Holy.

[A]

That person. Be a cat and teach. You go, I identify as a dog.

[C]

You think times are that different in the last five years, even though. Yeah, but granted, there wasn't, I guess, kids identifying as cats when we were in high school, but you ever have.

[A]

Anybody wear a tail or Anything like that.

[B]

What I think I'd say changed.

[A]

I think I. I've seen that. Not.

[D]

I thought it was just style, like kind of like that goth girl.

[C]

Also, you know what I wear like the ears and.

[B]

Yeah, you know what?

[C]

I was like a clip on tail, like belt and.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Not like. Yeah like cat.

[B]

Not like a butt plug or anything.

[D]

Jesus. Well, like if they're not like. Well if they're wearing a skirt then it might be, but.

[B]

So another thing that I saw was that this whatever school was implementing clear backpacks. Clear backpacks, yeah. And then I was like, Ben had that in his school like actually like six, seven years ago. Yeah.

[C]

Oh, did you guys not. You guys didn't know that?

[B]

No, we didn't. But I think they got rid of.

[C]

It after a year.

[B]

You're right. It would only lasted a year. But just interesting. So like if you have anything that you shouldn't have, you know, people can see it. I wouldn't like wearing a clear backpack either. But like also, what could you really have in your backpack at school that. Yeah, realistic. You know, realistically.

[D]

Unless you're like maybe have a medical condition or like, like you're a girl and you got tampons in there. Whatever. You know, I can see how that makes maybe be embarrassing.

[B]

You have like, if you like.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Extra weird condoms, magazines.

[B]

Nothing like inappropriate. But if you just had like weird like. I don't know. Other than that. I like anime. I don't know. I'm not making fun of anime, but like it could happen. Your anime is showing.

[C]

Oh, it's on the outside. You're walking down the hallway and everyone's just pointing in.

[B]

Anime showing.

[C]

Okay, I'm sorry.

[B]

So obviously you guys saw this because we were all kind of stoked about it. I was really stoked about it. But TMG gave us a little shout out the shirt for today. Dude, I was like. I got goosebumps when I heard it because I've been watching those guys since. Since the vine days. Yeah, Cody Co. I mean and especially Cody.

[D]

Noel too.

[C]

But.

[B]

But Noel was the one to give us the like the shout out.

[D]

They go into like great depth about Ken.

[C]

I was kind of surprised by that.

[B]

I don't know.

[D]

Yeah, they were I guess like analyzing his. His actions and behavior. Did you watch it, Ken?

[E]

I can see the gear spinning. You trying to come up with some.

[D]

Yeah, I just made that up.

[E]

Your pause was way too long.

[B]

Yeah, it was, it was, it was. It's just cool because like those guys, I mean I got. I Posted that on my story and a lot of people were responding and they were like, just dope you big names in the. And I was like, well, you know what's cool is like, I've never thought of us as a big name in YouTube, especially in podcasting, but I just. It's cool to like, finally get some recognition. Get some recognition. And in my head think of ourselves as a force to be reckoned with within the genre for sure. And it's just like trying to be humble about it. But it was just so cool to hear them shout that out and I would just love to meet those guys. So.

[C]

So a lot of people, like, hit you up.

[B]

Yeah, a lot of people. And mostly like a lot of our friends too. Like a lot of subscribers. But a lot of our friends were just like, yo, this is so sick.

[C]

When I woke up to just a DM or something, like, cool that you guys got shouted out on tmg. And I go, oh, yeah, what did this?

[B]

Oh yeah.

[C]

I was like, God, do I even want to watch it?

[B]

Yeah, I was a little worried right away. And then I. That was. I was like, I asked, well, what was it? And they're like. I mean, they just kind of like touched on your channel. I was like, okay, good.

[D]

They respected it.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

You can tell Cody wants like, wanted to crack a joke or.

[B]

Or he'd never heard of it.

[D]

Yeah, he was like the Sea Boys.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

It's honestly, it's best if I feel like you stay out of most like comedians mouths. I feel like most of the time.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Most of the time.

[C]

Most of the time, like comedians don't like speak highly or have much, I guess, positive things to say because that's not made fun. That's not as funny as like ragging on someone. Yeah. But Cody co is like known for that. Like, do you guys remember back? I don't think he does it much anymore.

[D]

I think he kind of.

[C]

Yeah, he just used to like find a channel and just go all in on it. It makes like an entire reaction video to it.

[B]

So that's why.

[A]

That's why he did ruin Russ for me. I can't listen to Russ.

[B]

He.

[C]

You know what?

[B]

Noel and Cody did ruin Russ for me as well. We were so lit on him. Russ the rapper uploaded a song every week on SoundCloud.

[A]

Still does.

[B]

Still didn't know that. Yeah, Uploads a week a song every week. And then Cody and Noel did a video on him that kind of is just laughable. And we stopped listening to him after that. Dude, he's incredible musician. Incredible.

[C]

But every time I hear a Russ song now, I'm like, damn, he's still doing this. I kind of thought he was a meme, though.

[A]

No, he's pretty big.

[C]

Yeah, he is.

[D]

He is.

[C]

I, like, I hate that. Like, that's, like, relatively respectful.

[D]

Yeah, he's honestly got some pretty good music. Alex, my girlfriend listens to him all the time, but it's not really the type of music I'd probably listen to.

[B]

But it's good.

[D]

But, yeah, it's good music. It's got great, like, melody to it and sounds nice.

[C]

How about kombucha? Like, when he did, like, the whole kombucha, like, the kombucha founder, he did that whole video on that guy.

[B]

That guy. Actually, there's a few guys that can take the joke well with Cody, particularly Cody and Noel, and they respond back, and they end up doing, like, a video together. And I think the kombucha guy did.

[C]

Yeah, he did. I feel like that's the only way that you could come back from something like that. Like, you get completely roasted and then you just go and do a video with whoever roasted. Because, you know, like, I. I have a hard time believing that any of. I guess what Cody co says, like, in the videos, like, he's probably not gonna go up to their face and, like, say that, like, in, like, a malicious intent, I was gonna say.

[A]

I don't think it's all just vicious with it. I think it's just trying. It's. It's comedy.

[C]

It's comedy. Yeah, exactly. Like, I don't.

[D]

And it's pretty easy to make fun of people, though. Sorry.

[A]

Yeah, it is.

[B]

No, the few people that have done that with him seem to have only, like, furthered their brand.

[D]

Some.

[B]

Some. Yeah. Not everyone.

[C]

What about the vape kid that.

[B]

Yeah, he did a video with him. Maddie Smokes.

[C]

Maddie smokes. Maddie, what the is up?

[D]

That was funny.

[A]

I still think of that sometimes when.

[B]

Like, that's what I mean. Cody doing a video on him because Maddie smokes was going somewhere, but maybe not everywhere on YouTube. And he, like, now is kind of, like, big. Just from Cody's videos.

[C]

Yeah, I'd imagine it's like he's.

[B]

He's kind of like a meme, but also kind of a little celeb.

[C]

Maddie Smokes co is like the Joe Rogan of putting people on, but, like, just roasting them and giving a platform.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

Either you die from it or you could or you live.

[D]

I don't know if they could really hurt our brand. Like, they could make fun of us, but all the people that would watch probably wouldn't really watch us to begin with.

[B]

Nothing we couldn't handle.

[A]

That was not a challenge.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

If you go back pretty far, it'd be. But you can make. It just goes to show, you can make fun of literally anyone and anything. It's, like, pretty easy. You know, all it is is just like, picking something, like, we could make fun of them, you know, like.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

I think that's kind of why also he stopped. It's just spreading negativity, which I can respect stopping, you know?

[A]

Yeah. I thought it was cool when they talked about, like, basically what we've just done, because it's what we like to do. And they're like, this is what it takes to be a successful YouTuber. You got to be extreme. You got to do all the things that. You got to take something extreme and then turn it up a little bit more, and that's what will make you successful. And we never really looked at it that just like, yeah, we like shifter carts. What can we do with it? That's even more out of the box, and that's how we got here.

[B]

I don't look at what we do as, like, insane. It's just what we do. Yeah.

[D]

Most people think we're crazy, though.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You know, I mean, you look at most of the ideas, but.

[D]

Yeah, I think. I think.

[C]

I guess what they were probably saying, though, is, like, for the new creator that wants to make YouTube videos, like, for that part, you got people out doing the crazy stuff, so, like, your barrier to entry is much higher where you can't necessarily just, like, do the things that you maybe used to be able to do.

[A]

Ten, five years ago, 100, like, 10 years ago, Lamborghini in the snow. Eight million views.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Now maybe a mil, maybe 3,000.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. I. I mean, that is kind of the truth, too, where it's like, you just have to be more creative.

[B]

Yeah. Now.

[C]

Which is, I guess, good for the viewer.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You know it. Because it gives the viewer, like, the best kind of entertainment versus you just being able to produce. And then it's like, well, this is what we got. We're gonna watch it. I think there's probably, like, a certain level to it that you probably don't want to go past due to, I guess, like, putting your life at risk. But, like, you can always spend more money, you can get more creative, or you can do more dangerous shit. So I guess there is, like, you know, not Just like, doing more dangerous shit, which is what we try and do.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And that.

[C]

Which is what we try not to.

[B]

That list of three things is, like, really important.

[D]

So, Mike, you're picking up an FMX ramp this weekend?

[B]

I am. Right after this. I gotta leave, actually. Take your truck. Ben, I'm so sorry.

[A]

That's fine. Who's gonna be hitting that?

[B]

Me and Ev.

[C]

The two riders.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Mike, you're gonna go to X Games one of these years, man.

[B]

You keep at this rate, there's no.

[D]

Way Mike's gonna be in best trick.

[B]

Like I'm saying, there's no way. I'm not sure.

[D]

You can't. You gotta stay positive, Mike, I thought.

[A]

You were saying he was just, like, gonna go and be in the crowd.

[C]

Oh, he could do that.

[D]

He's done that. But he's. He's gonna be out there. I mean, at the rate you're progressing, Mike.

[B]

But not Evan.

[D]

I don't think Evan. You're just like his lungs from the vape.

[C]

I just.

[D]

I worry about him. They might. They might stop him. Like, when they do a physical, like, hey, is this guy good to come through it? They'll listen to him breathing. They're like, this guy looks like he's. There's something wrong with him. We're gonna have to protect his. Himself from himself.

[B]

Dude. I'll take it.

[D]

So you'll be out there?

[B]

Yeah, because you're the X Games. But yeah, after this, the cool thing is, like, FMX ramps are, like, kind of disposable. Like, it is what it is. But the one we're picking up.

[D]

How much did it cost?

[B]

2,000.

[D]

Oh, that's not too bad.

[B]

Not too bad.

[C]

I can get behind that. It's a full size.

[B]

Well, full size, but it's 81 inches wide.

[D]

Is that wide?

[B]

That's, like, really wide.

[D]

So you could hit that on a snowmobile.

[B]

Then you could hit it on a snowmobile and you could. Don't even want. I don't even want to say it.

[C]

You can hit in a car.

[B]

Holy. Side by side.

[E]

Is it strong enough for a car?

[B]

It's a.

[D]

You got Ken thinking.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

The Bronco Metal, welded. Oh, gosh. But, yeah.

[C]

Would you jump your Bronco, Ken?

[B]

Holy shit.

[D]

When you get your Raptor, though, your Bronco Raptor.

[B]

The cool thing about it, yeah. Is that it's that wide and you can. You can move it as you please. So we can move it like. Let's say we, when we build the landing, can move it right up to the landing. Like, you could actually jump a car off of it.

[D]

Oh, good.

[B]

I know.

[D]

Oh, great.

[B]

Yeah, Pretty damn good. I was like, I was been talking back and forth, and Evan actually, like, kind of knows the guy from racing with him. Going down there today, taking Ben's truck, gonna pick it up.

[C]

What trailer are you using?

[B]

The flat.

[A]

That's.

[B]

The flatbed's the only thing that.

[A]

I don't think you can tow the flatbed with Ben's truck.

[B]

I don't. We're. Then, I mean, we're not fucked. Like, we'll figure it out. The rams down the Ram blew a shock.

[C]

So how big is it?

[B]

It's 81 inches wide, 22ft long, and 12ft, 8ft high.

[C]

I don't even think 81 inches wide.

[B]

Would fit on the flatbed measured.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[A]

That's good. Good job.

[E]

What's the height restriction?

[D]

Why don't you take Mark sir or something?

[B]

If I could take. I mean, I'll pay.

[A]

Yeah, absolutely.

[B]

But, like, I don't.

[A]

I don't think you should pull that trailer that far with Ben's truck.

[D]

I agree.

[A]

I don't think Ben truck is on the road.

[D]

Don't take. Don't take mine.

[B]

All right, well, I'll talk to Mark. He'll. He'll let us use it. But yeah, I do have to leave right after this because he's like, can you come in earlier? I'm like, dude, I get it's Friday, but just work with me.

[C]

Mike, I'm. I'm so proud of you, bro. Your advancement is incredible.

[A]

I agree. You become a pretty, pretty damn good rider in the last three years.

[B]

No, we're bad.

[D]

Yeah, Very bad. Yeah.

[B]

So I actually was going through the photos. You'll. Yeah.

[D]

But like I'm saying right now, you are really good.

[B]

We'll go. Like, the one thing that was like the pivot point for me was. Was looking back on that I knew I was bad was when you and Ken got out there. We were doing a bit, but you and Ken, like, dressed up as like my riding coach. And I was riding my 450, my Suzuki on like the pit bike track. And I was like, all sweaty. And you're like, get it faster. You know, just being funny. That was a joke, like, at how I was actually riding. I was riding a 450 and I just like, was hitting these tiny jumps and I was like, this is the most. I'm like, I don't know. Fast. Yeah. It was like a wake up call. I was hitting everything in first because that's all you really could do. And I was like, this is stupid. And then I never hit a track past that. And then we built the track, and then my entire world opened up. Also, having Evan, technically not even for the track stuff, wheelie stuff. Having Evan is like a trainer.

[C]

Mentor.

[D]

Well, it helps.

[B]

Yeah. Mentor.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Although I don't ride really ever anymore in, like, hitting jumps. But, like, when. Back when I did do that kind of stuff, if you had someone who already can hit the jump, perfect. You can fall right behind, you know exactly how fast to hit it at, you know, like, so it's like, you know, that helps a ton. And then your confidence gets going and.

[B]

Then, yeah, I would say having Evan here hitting all of that stuff, like, helped me.

[A]

Me.

[B]

I mean, even on the pit bike track last week, Evan, I'll hit it first, and then he hits it when you hit it. And then I was like, this. It definitely makes it a lot easier. That's like. Honestly, my biggest goal right now is, like, finishing merch drops and becoming a better rider.

[D]

So maybe.

[B]

Maybe X Games isn't out of the question. Probably silliest, but unbelievable.

[D]

You think you could make it by this August? I think if you start training harder. Mike, keep drinking those.

[A]

Get the power raids over there.

[B]

Also, wait, can I get a little side note here? Are Powerades super inferior to Gatorades or what's your guys's true opinion on that?

[C]

I just.

[B]

I'm curious.

[C]

Gatorade, but like, their own market.

[B]

Okay. Yeah. So, like, growing up, I thought they were exactly the same. Then I started to realize they Gatorade was whatever. And then since marketing. I can't believe you drink Powerades.

[A]

I always used to drink Powerade. Always. And then I just recently switched to Gatorade because I had the Gatorade light with less sugar.

[B]

And for the record, I think I.

[C]

Do you give a.

[A]

Since you started making fun of me, less sugar.

[D]

He was in the gym this morning with me.

[A]

Yeah. Where were you?

[D]

In the gym.

[C]

I was in the gym.

[B]

Oh, here, look at me. I'm the only one who didn't work out today. Jamie, how we doing?

[E]

I didn't either.

[B]

But, yeah, like, you quit drinking pop?

[A]

No, I have been trying to cut off. I've been cutting down on my pop. And I. I can't believe I'm saying it, but yesterday I had a Mountain Dew with lunch and I had, like, a sugar crash. I almost fell asleep driving home. I was so exhausted. And I have been feeling better without pop.

[B]

You've been getting up so damn Early.

[A]

I haven't. Getting up so damn early.

[D]

Good thing you got a laundry. She's helping you.

[A]

Yeah, she is. She's fixing me up good.

[C]

Yeah, I guess. To answer your question, Mike, I don't know.

[D]

I feel like.

[C]

I feel like you got Powerade drinkers and then you got Gatorade guys. But I picture Evan's a Powerade kind.

[B]

Of guy, and he's a little bit of a off brand type of guy. Yes.

[E]

Evan's more of a quick trip.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Basically, when I was, like, kind of sold on it. Like, I'm talking my whole life, I just thought they were the same. I actually, like, kind of prefer Powerade. However, I think Gatorade tastes better, which sounds silly. Anyway, I'm at the grocery store. Powerades, 32 ounces, a dollar. Gatorades, 32 ounces, two dollars.

[C]

When you're buying water trucks like you are everything else you're buying.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You got to save money somewhere cutting costs.

[B]

No, I. And I would either way, but I was like, yeah, there's no way I'm. I bought five Powerades for the price for $5. You know how much that would have cost me for Gatorades? 10.

[C]

Put that right into the water truck. Yep.

[D]

To me, I don't even think I noticed the name. Like, if I went in, I was like, for some reason craving that kind of. I would just, like, go into the gas. I see the blue one. I'm like, perfect.

[B]

It might as well.

[D]

I don't even know if I would.

[B]

Damn sports drink on it. I legit don't just buy the sports drink.

[D]

Yeah, I don't think I would notice. Seriously. I mean, now you guys made me conscious of it, but, like, obviously I know there's two, but I don't. I think I would just pick whichever one was right there. Really?

[A]

With the sippy caps.

[C]

Oh, I love that. I'm a sucker for the sick sippy cap.

[B]

So this has 50% more electrolytes than leading sports drink. Whatever. I don't know if that's true or not, but the leading sports drink has got to be Gatorade, right?

[A]

Honestly, ever since prime came to the C store, I've completely. Next. Gatorade and Powerade. I always go for Prime. Shit's good. And Logan is paying me to say that.

[C]

Yeah, he's like, why does this sound like an ad?

[A]

Right?

[B]

And also for the.

[A]

I can't say it like anything anymore.

[B]

Yeah, Logan's not paying him to say that. That's why it's funny.

[D]

He'll Send him an invoice earlier when you go.

[C]

Mike, I heard you cough. Are you sick? I thought you were about to go into it. Here we go.

[A]

No, I'd spare you guys. I do them all by my.

[B]

That would have been so funny. I like doing podcast ads, which I like, never do them because, like, you just kind of read it. I like reading the ads, and Ryan does a really good job, so.

[C]

Oh, he doesn't let anyone else do him. He gets all.

[B]

No, he would let me do them.

[C]

Territorial over him.

[A]

You can have Adam. I just.

[C]

How about you, Ken?

[D]

Ken's only done one.

[C]

Ken's done one and they never renewed. No, you did one.

[B]

Do we want to. Was it.

[C]

You did DraftKings and they never renewed.

[B]

Well, and we can't just.

[D]

Nope.

[C]

The guy that we sent the deal to or our old manager for brand deals, he asked, please don't let Ken do anymore.

[A]

And it was with DraftKings, too. That would have been a good one to lock in.

[D]

It looked like they had a gun behind.

[B]

Well, I love sports. For him. Not asking for any more. That is a bummer. But looking back on that ad.

[C]

Oh, it's hilarious.

[B]

It looks like we have. It looks like we have a gun to your head.

[C]

Yeah, so I. I edited it, and I got a couple of pretty good screenshots from it. Just pop them up here.

[D]

I'll send them.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Ryan, of. Of like, the outtakes of Ken doing it.

[A]

Did you just have to read that one?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You had a prompter.

[D]

He was reading off a prompt.

[B]

Yeah, we had a little teleprompter for a while.

[D]

I feel like we're not, like, I don't know how much.

[E]

Hey, get the. Get this done in an hour. We gotta do this. Write a script, too.

[C]

And it's like, it's not that much to that almost every week.

[B]

That's just how it is. I don't think. I don't think we're talking bad. We like doing brand deals when it makes sense.

[D]

We only pick good ones, too. Honestly, I'm not going to promote a lot.

[B]

Like Ben said, a lot of the brands we have worked with have been, like, so nice and, like, I don't know, it's just. It's like, it's kind of an honor to do it.

[C]

We've put in our time.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

We've had the. We've had to do the shitty ones.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

They pay the bills, keep the lights.

[A]

On, keep filling Micah's water truck.

[B]

That's the most expensive thing we got to deal With. All right, as we wrap up here, I just have like one light question, like how do you guys think you're gonna dress when you're 70? So I. The one thing that I can preface before you answer is that old people, let's say just 70 year old dudes, they don't wear backwards hats. And if I saw a 70 year old man wearing a backwards hat, I would think that he was cool. I think that he was cool. Yeah, that's so, that's kind of what I'm saying. So it's like if I was 70, all you got to do is like put a backwards hat on, you have a button up shirt like this or something like that. So I'm just wondering, how would you think you'll actually dress when you're 70? I know times change.

[A]

Probably in a spacesuit. Yeah, my way to Mars.

[B]

That's what I mean. To live forever. Like, times will change. But let's say you just dress exactly how you dress.

[C]

Like skinny jeans, air force ones.

[B]

Because, yeah, like, like the coolest like grandparents ever looked is like in his own grandparon shirt. But he usually wears like pleated slacks.

[D]

And he looks like he's going golfing.

[B]

Yeah, like he looks going golfing every.

[C]

Day and he's been repping his grandparon shirts every time. I gave him a bunch to give.

[D]

Out to a bunch of people.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah, that's good.

[B]

But I, I guess I shouldn't even like. Let's just say.

[A]

How do you think you, how do you think you're gonna dress?

[B]

I would like to think that I would dress the same. Just a little tame, down.

[A]

I don't know. Just trying to picture you old wearing that get up.

[B]

Yeah. And like yesterday I'm in the grocery store wearing the, the American flag slash shorts that we had like the trunks and I'm like, I couldn't wear these when I'm 70.

[D]

I feel like. No, I, I bet you old people wear what they. Around kind of like similar style of what they just always wore from their era of just living.

[C]

What do you think Ken's gonna do for his nuts? They're gonna be so big at that point.

[D]

Some kind of suspenders for them or like a little.

[C]

Yeah, possibly for the nuts.

[D]

Suspender nuts or like something to cradle that, keep them from going down. His pant legs.

[C]

Is that a thing? Because if it's not, Ken, you could start that. Suspenders for your.

[D]

What he needs is like some real compression suspended, don't even fall out by his knee.

[B]

Suspenders for your nuts. Is as real as a wiener days.

[A]

Maybe he'll get plastic surgery.

[B]

Honest.

[A]

Get his nuts. Nut. Nuts. Done.

[D]

Really?

[A]

Oh, I got it.

[D]

Would you ever consider that no job?

[B]

Actually, I don't think that's a thing. But getting your nuts, like, tucked back up has to be the equivalent of a boob reduction. You know when you hear about, oh, you got a boob production, and they're like, yeah, it was hurting my back. And then all guys are like, well, geez, why would you want to make them smaller?

[A]

That would be the same, like, health implications.

[B]

Yeah, exactly. Same vibe.

[C]

Do you have lower back problems because.

[A]

Of your nuts or hip problems?

[E]

This is the same thing we had with Evan's hog. It's you just taking one little thing and running with it.

[C]

Oh, it's not a little.

[B]

It's not a little.

[C]

It's two big things.

[D]

I feel like his nuts hang low and keep, like, a low center of gravity and, like, where they're attached. He's like, not really. Like, it's not wearing on anything besides maybe his knees.

[B]

Very valid.

[C]

Keep getting balanced.

[D]

It's almost like a counterweight.

[C]

Like, think about it and that.

[B]

But if he moves too fast, as long as he's. Things could go bad.

[D]

As long as in a. You know, within the gravitational pull of the earth, he should be okay.

[A]

Do they do the thing, you know, like on your desk where you put the balls that always keep moving? Do they do the thing where they click back and forth continuously? We should harness energy for a renewable source.

[C]

Ken's walking, and he stops, but it's not stone. And he, like, kind of like, what? You good? Oh, he's good.

[B]

He's like, that's kind of why I don't run, because, like, yeah, it's just a lot.

[E]

All right, this is a good spot to end.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

All right, we'll see you next time.

[B]

See you guys. Subscribe, Comment, and we love you.
