Transcript

[Ben]

Crepes.

[Ken]

Grapes.

[Mike]

Grapes.

[Ben]

Frick. Crepes would be good right now. I think he said gripes.

[Ken]

You want to be in my interview, Ben? Oh, okay. Well, I'm going around interviewing guys that wear shirts too small for them because they don't work out, but they still want to look jacked.

[Ben]

I feel like Ryan's ads is when you wake up at 2am and George Lopez is popping up. You know, you always got to wonder if you should be buying something from a guy that rolls up on a Segway.

[Ken]

That's true. They are bad news.

[Evan]

Did you know the guy that invented the Segway died because he drove it off the Grand Canyon? What? We should fact check this. That is the story I heard.

[Ken]

No, on accident.

[Evan]

As far as I know, he didn't leave a note.

[Ryan]

Dude, when you search up, how did the inventor. That's the first thing that comes up. Okay. Jimmy Held Zinn didn't invent the Segway, but he was the company's owner when he tumbled off a cliff while riding an altering Segway.

[Ben]

Oh, that's not a good look. Okay, so it wasn't the Grand Canyon, at least.

[Mike]

Dude, he was about it.

[Evan]

Close enough.

[Mike]

He was about it. He was riding his Segway Saturday around the Grand Canyon and fell in. That's on that note, man, that's tough.

[Evan]

Derailed us there.

[Ben]

Life's just about finding new places to scroll. Instagram reels.

[Ryan]

You have to be like, top 10.

[CJ]

All time for, like, wet mornings.

[Ben]

Like you. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, definitely. You get woken up by absurd amount of water. Hey, top. Dead top.

[Ken]

That's my boy, Mike.

[Mike]

Wet Mike.

[Ryan]

Well, if you look at, like, where I bought my Hummer, he. He's got a big sign. He's got his own dedicated shop. It's got an office. It's got a bathroom, it's got a workspace.

[Ben]

It's got a stupid clientele.

[Mike]

Nah, dude, Ryan just put wheels on his Hummer, bro, and it looks flipping amazing. What do you mean?

[Ben]

How's it going? He's wearing a Hummer sweatshirt. He's clearly pretty proud. Pretty.

[Mike]

Okay, well, he'll pop a picture up right here. He put like, big old black wheels on it, and they're like 13, five wide. Looks amazing.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's a good rig now. I mean, I don't know.

[Ben]

I guess just needed wheels. All the problems before he put the.

[Mike]

Wheels on and the rear stopped, the rear suspension stopped leaking.

[Ken]

The brakes started working the brakes.

[Ben]

Still the motor stopped knocking.

[Ryan]

Motor knocks a little.

[Mike]

You didn't have sizzlers. Fix the brakes.

[Ryan]

No, it was. He wanted to put a whole new system in. It was going to be, like, 1200 bucks.

[Ken]

That's 12% of the vehicle.

[Ryan]

Yeah, precisely. And I know you guys love to just belittle me for buying this cheap car because I don't have as nice a stuff as you.

[Ben]

Oh, we're not. We're not.

[Ryan]

You literally put on the Snapchat polishing a turd. Like, it's just. I don't know, dude. I saved so much money driving this car for the five months that I have to drive it. It does just fine. I drive nowhere. I don't need to spend all the money on another car. I'm going to next year. I'm going to buy a nice.

[Ben]

No, no, no, no. But that's not the point.

[Mike]

Point.

[Ben]

That's. We're not belittling you. We're just. We're just talking.

[Mike]

I know.

[Ben]

It's just funny. Funny. No, it's just funny. It's not funny to me. Broken, though. It's just like, nobody literally have not.

[Ryan]

Not driven it, like, one time because it was broken. Driven it. I've driven it every day getting home. Right.

[Ken]

And I'm gonna. I can't completely agree with that, but I. I do want to say we're not making funny because it's. Because it's not expensive or it's not nice or whatever. It's just more so funny that, like, you got it and just, like, has caused so many problems. I think it's, like. And it's not, like, major issues, obviously, so it's, like, kind of funny to, like. It's also funny. Hummer.

[Ryan]

I think that's why I got it.

[Mike]

I'm just wondering because CJ really wanted a Hummer, too. And at one point on H2, I'm like, I wanted.

[Ken]

Exactly.

[Mike]

Lesson learned. But I was like, would he be getting the flack? I. I don't know if he'd have cool homes.

[Ken]

Depends if mine was breaking like his, I suppose.

[Mike]

And. And knowing you, it wouldn't. You would have spent 25k on a minty, minty one.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

And I rode in. I rode in one like that, and I still was like, this thing seems like it's going to give me a lot of trouble. So I didn't.

[Mike]

Oh, he was going to. Ryan was going to sell it to Siege.

[Ben]

No, not him.

[Ryan]

Dude, I was so close.

[Ben]

I've never met somebody who hates dealing and talking to people more than Ken, who's in customer service. Dude, I'll give you some credit there, Ken. Do great with the customers and maybe not so great with, with our immediate friends that are trying to get a hold of you.

[Mike]

I don't think it'd be that crazy for Ken to have a business.

[Ken]

I, I don't either. I think it'd be worth it for that matter.

[Ryan]

He could have his government name phone and then his, his Ken phone.

[Ben]

But I'm also thinking two phones and.

[Ryan]

Walking around with like, you know, the people that like set their phones down. There's two of them, they're walking around holding two phones, pulling them both out. Be a real businessman.

[Ben]

It's pretty ball, but I'm scrolling on both hands.

[Mike]

I'm also thinking, even if we have.

[Ken]

Reddit accounts for everything, you imagine Ken akimbo scrolling.

[Ben]

Yeah, I can see it.

[Ryan]

He's got Twitter up on one and read it up on the other, taking.

[Mike]

In all the information.

[Ryan]

Ken like starts getting like the lizard eyes where they go out because he's looking at both of them.

[Ben]

Taking strolls to a whole other level.

[Ryan]

But I did want to give you credit. Can you do a damn good job with customer service and if you have ever ordered something you've dealt with with Ken personally and I hope you've had a good experience.

[Ken]

All right, Nikki, last question for you. I'll let you go. Is it true the rumors about, you know, the hog? Is it true or is it. Is it not? Because there's a lot of people at home wondering. It's a tough situation I'm putting you in.

[Hudson]

I know.

[Mike]

I think the picture you saw was.

[Ken]

A little.

[Ben]

Embellished, you know. But I'm still giving you credit.

[Ken]

He's average.

[Ryan]

Was the picture in wide angle?

[Mike]

I had the angle perfect.

[Evan]

It was Snapchat. You can't even wide angle that I'll defend myself There can be given.

[Ben]

Can you given the angle I took it at and everything made it people a little more.

[Ken]

Explain this.

[Ryan]

Evan's hog reveal.

[Evan]

Baby carrot now only fans dropping 2025. Stay tuned, would you?

[Ken]

I could see you having that.

[Hudson]

He begs me to all the time.

[Ben]

Really?

[Evan]

Really?

[Ben]

Why?

[Mike]

I don't think they shouldn't say beg. Beg you to.

[Evan]

But I have definitely had the conversation about it.

[Ken]

Yeah, I feel like make a bag.

[Evan]

It's a no brainer in my head.

[Ben]

And it's, you know, dude, it's all a hustle.

[Evan]

It's not like you just gotta like put out the most hardcore porn. It's just a game.

[Ben]

No self picture.

[Evan]

Just tease your feet.

[Ken]

Nutscapes and Nikki turns it down then. Or you don't want to? Nikki, obviously.

[Mike]

If you have rather sell pictures of my feet.

[Ken]

Right.

[Ryan]

That Evan Speed ain't worth nothing.

[Ben]

Ev did a solo.

[Ken]

Yeah, he's just solo on.

[Evan]

Would you be fine if I. I mean, I feel like it's probably more dudes would be on there buying content than women anyways.

[Mike]

What are you gonna do? Sit there and jerk off and let me get my lotion real quick?

[Evan]

I'll fucking jerk off with Cheesemans if that's what the people want. I'll invite Waffles over.

[Ben]

We'll get weird.

[Ryan]

Oh, it.

[Ken]

I ain't going to college, but I turned it down.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah.

[Ken]

I turned it down just to do this. Just to grind from the rap.

[Ryan]

So you had an opportunity to do the drumming thing.

[Ken]

Scholarship and everything where at? I think it was like in Jacksonville.

[Grandpa Ron]

Yeah.

[Ken]

A big. A big band in Jacksonville. It was a big college, though. And they offered me like 15. Some like 10 million or something like that. 5 million. Something like that.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Ben]

But not $5 million.

[Mike]

Pay you $5 million to play the drum?

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Are we doing here?

[Ryan]

Like, are we doing here?

[Ken]

I was so younger, like, wait, wait, wait. I didn't know what it was. Are you sure they average you $5 million to play?

[Ben]

Turned it. I was.

[Ken]

I was like, so younger, like.

[Evan]

Like.

[Ken]

He squints. I was so younger, like, I didn't know what's going on.

[Mike]

I was so younger.

[Ken]

Dude.

[Ben]

Dude. When he cracks a smile and kind of laughs. Turned it down. I love, like, Dude. I didn't think he was gonna question me on this.

[Mike]

I love the interviewers. We doing here.

[Ryan]

Dude, how hard do you have to shred in a marching band for $5 million?

[Ben]

How much money you gotta have in count to not know if it was 15.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Or 5 million? You should start by trying to fit into your T shirt.

[Ryan]

But you're down to a medium because.

[Ben]

No.

[Ryan]

How much?

[Ken]

He's more down to a large. But you're looking great. Damn near, what, 50 pounds now?

[Hudson]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Two pounds away. My goal is like. My goal is 1 7. So I was 225. My goal is 175. Just to say I actually lost 50.

[Ken]

That's crazy.

[Ben]

177 last Friday.

[Hudson]

Yeah.

[Ben]

That's actually insane. What are you doing to lose £50? I basically.

[Ryan]

So what I do is quit jerking off. Yeah.

[Ken]

You kidding me?

[Nikki]

Knocks. All the people had my back last video.

[Ben]

So me and Cody go to the gym every morning. I'll like, run.

[Mike]

Yeah. It's not considered. It's not considered jerking off if you have help.

[Ken]

Nuxo feel in my back. Last video. What do you mean by that?

[Ben]

What does that mean?

[Ryan]

I saw this video on Instagram today and made me think of our boy Mike since, I mean, we haven't made fun of him in about 45 seconds.

[Ken]

What's the first thing that you think of when, like, he says something like this? What is. What are you envisioning? Yeah, what are you.

[Ryan]

What are you. What are you picturing in your brain?

[Mike]

Yeah. Something to do with driving or, like.

[Ben]

No.

[Mike]

Unreliability in general.

[Ryan]

You know, it could really be anything.

[Ken]

Reliability in general.

[Ryan]

In general.

[Ben]

Self awareness. Mike.

[Ryan]

My caption in the group chat to this was Mike on a casual drive to Fargo.

[Ken]

It's yellow, too.

[Ryan]

I mean, he wrecked really bad, I hope. Okay, but what happened?

[Ben]

Fortunate to be from Canada, that's for sure.

[Ken]

I live in, like, the most beautiful.

[Ben]

Place in the world.

[Ken]

It's not tropical, but it's tits deep snow, so it's not.

[Ryan]

It's all right.

[Ben]

That should be Rebel Stoke slogan. Where do you get yesterday? I can go to Revelstoke.

[Ken]

Let me tell you, it's been a tough time for me. It's been a trying time.

[Ben]

Oh, really?

[Ken]

Well, you start talking on vapors, you got half the population now. That's going to disagree with you. They're not going to want to hear that shit.

[Ben]

No.

[Ken]

And then the other half thinks it's. It's awesome. They think it's funny. So now it's like, I got one half just like, hell, yeah, cj, that was so funny. And then the other half, like, I really think CJ needs to get off the podcast. He's just. He's not that good on it anymore.

[Ben]

Yada, yada.

[Ken]

I'm like, jesus. So, like, is there kind of funny.

[Ryan]

Is there anything you'd like to say to the vapers out there?

[Ken]

Hey, man, I. I know it's tough to hear, but I'm just looking out for you, Ken. I'm just looking out for you, man.

[Nikki]

Oh, don't look. Look at Evan.

[Ben]

Don't look at me, bro.

[Ken]

Ken, you can't deflect onto someone that's not even here. Yeah, Ken, he's one of your robot dick brothers. Jesus. You take your own dick out now.

[Ben]

Ken hates the robo dick story more.

[Mike]

Than anything else, mostly because it involves his two least favorite things. Dicks and robots making fun of vaping.

[Ken]

Yeah. Yeah. Do things.

[Ben]

He's passionate.

[Ken]

So I've. I've recently Inquired even more haters after that story went viral.

[Ben]

So do you guys, like, clean up on the girls being DJs? We just do our job.

[Ken]

Dude. Crashing never hurt anybody. It's what? It's coming to a dead stop that hurts you.

[Ben]

You gotta roll, baby.

[Ken]

That's what I'm saying. Okay. Crashing never hurt nobody.

[Ryan]

Please be careful.

[Ben]

We probably won't, but hell yeah. All right, I want to do a bit where I pop up YouTubers cars. Now, we've all watched the videos of them being built or them doing anything with them on the Internet and then ask you guys what you rate them. 1 to 10. All right. Also, I want to say when I was going through and trying to narrow down just a couple of cars to do, bro, so many YouTubers have so many unique and cool cars these days, and it was really difficult. But all right, first one up, Stradman's Lamborghini Aventador Pirelli edition with Liberty Walk wide body kit, Rosa Cantus paint and white pinstriping. The paint job is one of three painted in this color in the world. And it's got a custom all white and pink interior. The story behind it was it was in an accident with a police car before he bought it, and now it's a salvage title that he completed, completely rebuilt. Oh, so pretty cool.

[Ken]

But with his dad, I think, too.

[Ben]

Or he finished it on the day that his dad passed away. So he kind of. It's in memory of his dad, but. All right. Okay, Mike. One out of ten.

[Mike]

9.9.

[Ben]

CJ.

[Ken]

I'd have to say ten.

[Jimmy]

Right.

[Ryan]

See, I think you can put a kit in that color in that wing on a heavy modified Lambo like that. So I think it all works together pretty well. But it seems to be a bit overstated for me. I'm going to play Devil's Avocado 8.2. So still, it's very loud and I think it works.

[Ken]

For a YouTuber, it looks amazing. I guess the only bad part about Aventadors in general is the interior is very outdated. Like the screen and all that. Have you noticed that?

[Ben]

Yeah, I think most Lambos are.

[Ken]

I think it's even worse like. And that's a more expensive Lamborghini.

[Mike]

If I had to guess, it would just be. I remember when I saw Bugatti interior and someone explained that they try to keep it timeless. Yeah, I would say they're playing in on that.

[Ben]

Which is.

[Ken]

If you look at it, it's not.

[Ben]

Just, oh, it, I don't know.

[Ken]

But they just haven't changed it.

[Ryan]

I don't think all the things. My favorite part is a full custom interior. Like that's what makes. That's what to me sets it apart.

[Ken]

His white dash, I guess is like problematic because this, it reflects onto the, the windshield. Windshield.

[Ryan]

So.

[Ken]

So. And I guess it's kind of hard to see.

[Mike]

Everything about it is perfect. So loud. It looks like one of the fastest cars you'd ever see on the road. The only reason I took it, the one tick off was because it, it's pink. I. I love that it's painted, but I would do it like any other color besides pink. But it still looks beautiful.

[Ben]

I mean you're really never going to see a wide body Aventador like this. But you're really never going to see a pink wide body with white wheels, white interior, big ass wing, very true. Loud exhaust. Everything about it.

[Mike]

One of a kind for sure.

[Ben]

It's. It's such a YouTuber car. It's so over the top. It's ridiculous. I think he absolutely killed it on it. Here's like a side shot of it that I think is really shows like the angles of it, how sharp it is. I love that it's such a big convertible. The Spider, I'm actually not sure. I think it's on static suspension. It's got a front lift on it, I believe. But a lot of these cars are on airbags. But people that have airbags or install shops that install a lot of airbags or, or static suspension on cars, they always say that airbags are kind of a pain in the butt and they never are as good as you would want them to be.

[Ryan]

Doesn't work very well on my Hummer.

[Ben]

Ryan knows firsthand. Such a beautiful car. I'd give this a 9.5.

[Grandpa Ron]

Nice.

[Ken]

I love that car. I gotta stay with 10.

[Ben]

Shaking it up a little bit here. Whistle and Diesel's 2022AMG G63, otherwise known as a G wagon. This thing, it's got bigger turbos on it, pushing 1,000 horsepower. Akrapovic exhaust, lift kit and 33 inch tires.

[Mike]

I'd give this one a 9.5.

[Ken]

Dude, I hate to say it, but 10, I love it.

[Mike]

Really?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

I like that because this is the coolest G wagon I've ever seen.

[Ben]

This is more of like a. More of a stock car. You know, obviously it's got the little cosmetic changes to it and it's faster, but overall you're gonna look at it and it mostly looks stock.

[Ken]

I think it's beautiful.

[Ben]

Right?

[Ryan]

Well, it's sweet because he modified it but it still works like he's jumping it right there. Like you could have went and you could have modified it either lower or put such a big lift on it that it becomes unfunctional. So where he nailed it was it's fast AF and it sounds pretty solid but yet you can do stuff like that with it. So I mean yeah, I, I'd give it like in the nines.

[Ben]

It really is a great looking car. And I think the coolest part about it is that he really showed how capable it is.

[Ryan]

My only beef is the exhaust sounds kind of tinny which I know people are eh on but I think it.

[Ben]

It just for a 9. $9,000 exhaust.

[Ryan]

Exactly. I would have expected to, but it's loud and it's sweet.

[Mike]

I guess what I find most interesting is that after he uploaded this video, I like G Wagons. But then a video of Whistle and Diesel basically destroying this thing made me like them 10 times more. I went what? I mean obviously tested it and showed what, what it can do. But I was like I want one.

[Ken]

That'S a nice ass car and it's.

[Mike]

Badass what it can do. I mean the suspension, I don't even know. It's got to weigh a bunch, whatever. Whoever built the suspension for that deserves an award.

[Ken]

I feel like it's hard to have a luxury vehicle that's a luxury like bougie vehicle but it's still badass in my opinion. And that's because of like maybe the, the red but also just the overall look of it. It's just a badass vehicle. I like it a lot.

[Ben]

$300,000 vehicle and that's obviously with dealer markup and I think he bought it in the worst possible time. But that is a lot of money for basically a glorified Jeep. But as he proved, it's a lot, it's a lot better than a Jeep. I just want to play the clip of him jumping it for anyone that hasn't seen it. God, that is such a 91ft.

[Ken]

Imagine if you would have rolled that thing.

[Evan]

Dude.

[Mike]

No one there that day was expecting.

[Ryan]

To see that much of a boot. Dude, I have been to those sand dunes and I have tried to jump them. Well I have jumped them in a side by side with side by side bog and we probably went not even that far and it was terrifying. So I can't imagine doing it in like an 8,000 pound car.

[Nikki]

I think the thing about that video that really makes it stand out is 99% of people who own G wagons will never take that thing off the pavement. And he's just full sending it.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And it actually held up, which is cool.

[Ben]

All right. The next car is TJ Hunt's 2020 C8 Corvette. Twin turbo, 1500 horsepower, with a fully custom street hunter wide body kit, which is his own wide body kit. So the thing is like completely one of one insanely fast. And personally, I think it looks amazing. This is my favorite wide body kit on any of the C8s. What do you guys think? 1 out of 10?

[Mike]

9.9 for me.

[Ryan]

I hope you picked uglier YouTuber cars because I feel like we're giving all these.

[Ken]

I'm giving this a seven, dude.

[Ben]

Okay, seven.

[Ken]

Maybe a seven and a half. Reason why I'm saying that I honestly don't think it looks that good with the wide body kit. The rear is too wide compared to the front. It looks too wide. It's not proportionate. And there's often times where I see a wide body kit get thrown on a vehicle and it's just like too much like Stratman's look good. This is too wide in my personal opinion. And I don't really like the wing either. Just kind of looks. Doesn't look right to me. I'd rather just have a factory one.

[Ryan]

The thing I do like about it is it isn't a bolt on kit. You know, it doesn't have the bolts holding it on. I don't know how it's fastened. It probably has bolts.

[Ben]

But I like it from the backside.

[Ryan]

Yeah, from.

[Ben]

But you don't. You don't see the rivets.

[Ryan]

Yeah, exactly. Because I think that's the one thing that can sometimes make body kits look cheesy, is it looks like they are bolted onto the outside of a car. Which they are okay with that.

[Ben]

I agree that it does look a little bit cheaper. This one looks a little bit more factory.

[Ken]

When I saw it at sema, I thought it looked kind of homemade, personally.

[Ben]

Really, I got nothing in person.

[Ken]

I'm just saying I thought it seemed kind of homemade. Like it just. It looks wonky to me.

[Mike]

I think one thing that it could maybe change. Let's say the rear fenders weren't as wide and this was a Z06. I know that would change a lot, but the fenders are already wider on that. I think that would look tasteful, but I think it looks incredible. I. The color is like amazing for me, but still would change it. The wheels, though, the silver, like three piece, whatever. Hre wheels. Unreal.

[Ryan]

I.

[Mike]

That's my favorite part.

[Ryan]

I love that silver wheels are coming back. My, like, dream is a black. Either matte black or just black car. And then get some really nice polished wheels. Kind of like Mike has on a Subaru the same color.

[Ben]

We already kind of got that with your homer, right?

[Ryan]

That's true. Yeah, kind of. But I mean, yeah, just I think that's such a cool look that went away for a while that I think now should come back.

[Ken]

I agree with that.

[Ben]

I think that TJ ran into a lot of problems with the twin turbo kit on this because the ECU is so hard to unlock or do anything or actually maybe, like, maybe they didn't even unlock it. But it's so hard to do Anything with the C8 platform.

[Ken]

You want to know what's even crazier, though, is Amelia Hartford. She already twin turbo.

[Ben]

Her.

[Ken]

Her fucking Z06.

[Ben]

Yeah. How does it work?

[Ken]

They don't have a tune yet, but she slapped them on, started it up, revved it. I was like, mind blowing. That. That'll be a crazy car. A Z06C8 twin turbo.

[Mike]

Unreal.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Yeah. It sounds like a Ferrari. Yeah, a twin turbo Ferrari. But yeah.

[Ben]

The only turn off to this car is it's now for sale, and it is for sale for $250,000 for a Corvette.

[Ken]

That's not even a Z06.

[Ben]

It's a lot of money.

[Ken]

No way.

[Ben]

A lot of money.

[Ken]

No one's going to buy that for 250.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I don't know somebody who's maybe a big TJ fan and watch the whole build. Have you guys seen the. The video of the guy proposing on the baseball?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

What was he doing there?

[Ben]

Ken, pop up this video I just sent you.

[Ken]

What was he doing there?

[Ben]

Was that.

[Ken]

I could not believe that, dude.

[Ben]

I. I could not believe it either.

[Ken]

Also, I don't know why you'd go down to do that. I know you're not a player, bro.

[Mike]

It would have been better if he.

[Ryan]

Was like, that's not your field.

[Ben]

Well, how did he think this was gonna end here? Play it.

[Ken]

Dude, he gets rocked, bro.

[Ryan]

Oh. Oh, my gosh.

[Ken]

Bro, that. That guy got whiplash. 100.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I mean, and then they bounce, like when they land on the ground.

[Ken]

Shitty way to start off a marriage, man.

[Mike]

Yeah. Like, literally getting arrested.

[Ken]

That's all on him, too. Like, they don't even get to enjoy this moment because now he's just like, he's got seats. Everything's been spoiled.

[Ryan]

Doesn't Even remember that he did it.

[Ken]

He's gonna be locked in a, in a jail cell.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Go back and play the hit again, bro.

[Ken]

That guy, dude, that guy.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Ken]

Yeah. Madden 2023 hit stick the title dodger.

[Ryan]

Oh, that was head to head. That's like.

[Ken]

Shoulder to head.

[Ryan]

Oh, dude, I don't know.

[Ken]

Dude, he clunked his ass.

[Ben]

You can tell that, that.

[Ken]

Oh, dude, that dude, he crunched his ass.

[Ben]

He seems just like a little bit too power hungry.

[Grandpa Ron]

Like.

[Mike]

I agree.

[Ken]

And he was pretty chill.

[Ryan]

Yeah. This guy wasn't doing anything.

[Ben]

You know what I love about you, Steve, is is everyone always dreams of getting to where you're at. Right. Where you get the money and you can buy all these cars.

[Hudson]

Sure.

[Ben]

But you drive them and you treat them exactly how everyone would always dream that.

[Hudson]

Sure.

[Ben]

And that's like my favorite part is that you're like, you're actually mobbing these things down the street like, like a 18 year old kid would.

[CJ]

I've gotten, as I've gotten older, I've gotten a lot smart. Like, I'm not, I'm not speeding. I'm speeding in the right areas.

[Ben]

Like that's what my buddy C.J.

[Ken]

Says.

[Ben]

That's what C.J.

[Mike]

Said.

[Ben]

He only gets one ticket every three weeks.

[CJ]

Oh, well, I was going to say I used to get a ticket, two to three tickets a year. I have, I've had well over 35, 40 tickets. I've had none in the last three years. And it's because you just kind of like you're like, there's a right place and a wrong place to speed. Like I don't want to speed. Where there's a lot of intersections, crossroads, homes. But like there's plenty of stretches that, that don't have any of that. And they're, they're very unlikely to probably be patrolled. So like those are the ones that I'm going 100, 120, 150 plus on.

[Ken]

Allegedly.

[CJ]

Yeah, allegedly. In Mexico. And then there's certain highways that, that have like long stretches like, you know, that it's not possible to patrol.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

And so that's where I really try to get my aggression out.

[Ben]

I saw the video of you doing 200 in your poo car.

[Ken]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[CJ]

211 miles an hour. I can't disclose where, but yes.

[Ryan]

What does that feel like?

[CJ]

Scary. Well, not scary like the problem was I hit it and then there was a curve way up ahead.

[Ken]

Right.

[CJ]

And then so I start braking, but you're like, you can't hard brake at that speed?

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

So like, the curve got taken at like 130, 140. So it's kind of.

[Ryan]

You kind of forget.

[CJ]

You just don't realize how quickly it comes up. That's what she said. And it's like it's so far ahead where I breaked cautiously. But, like, I'm like, oh, my gosh. Like, I needed to break even earlier. And then. And that was one that I texted the crew. That was when I went to 11 and I'm going around the curve and there was. The Senna was right behind me. And that's when I'm like, all right, guys, like, we need to chill a little bit more than that on the highway, like, and I was leading the cruise.

[Ben]

Everyone's like, what the fuck is that supposed to mean? Aren't you leading?

[CJ]

We need to chill a little bit more than that. Like, it's. It's just not worth it. Maybe we'll just go at 130, 140. But I don't know about this 211 shit.

[Ryan]

But it is tough because you got a Bugatti. It's almost like you have to.

[Ben]

You guys follow, like, what's going on with the football draft at all or anything negative.

[Ken]

I saw there's some guy, he's like a real stud. He's got a bunch of chicks around him.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, we're supposed to go first round and didn't. Oh, yeah, he was supposed to go like, early first round and just straight up did not get looking like a.

[Ken]

Young Hugh Hefner over there. Except one of those. It must have been his mom, but I. I'm assuming they're mostly his sisters, but just looks weird.

[Mike]

Was he kissing any of them?

[Ken]

All of them, kind of.

[Ben]

Was he? I'm just kidding.

[Ken]

He wasn't.

[Ryan]

But yeah. Three hot sisters, plus his girlfriend. But then there was a whole scandal.

[Ben]

Oh, no. He had his hot sisters?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Why were they with them on the couch?

[Ryan]

And it's like, him, girlfriend, three good looking sisters.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Ryan]

So barstool, of course, did a whole write up and all that. But the dad, when he. They like, were hugging or something like that. Maybe there's a different guy because that guy got drafted, kissed him on the lips.

[Ken]

No.

[Ryan]

Oh, the dad goes to hug the girlfriend, hugs the girlfriend, and then gives her two pats on the butt.

[Evan]

Television.

[Mike]

I heard something about this. That was like two years ago.

[Ryan]

Oh, that was two years ago.

[Mike]

I don't know, but I. I remember seeing like a clip of a dad being at the. I think they Were at a game, by the way, the dad was like, last night. Yeah, yeah, right. But I've just heard that happening before.

[Ken]

That's tough.

[Ryan]

You gotta have like a father, son conversation. Or son, father conversation. Like, listen, dad, next time I'm on espn, you can't be slapping.

[Ken]

It's not gonna happen again after that upro.

[Mike]

That's. That's almost one of those things that you're just like, seriously, just at least don't do it on live.

[Ben]

Dad, if you're gonna slap my girlfriend's ass, just don't do it on live tv.

[Ken]

I'm not sure what sport it was, but the guy scores a touchdown and then it like, goes up to the people in the box and is like, everyone's hugging, high fiving and like, the dad, like, kind of like, moved his hand over and like, grazed the girl's ass.

[Ben]

It was like completely out of the way.

[Ken]

And it was all caught on camera. I was like, God damn, that's awesome.

[Ben]

Yeah, I thought that's what I remember talking about Ryan, but ready.

[Ryan]

Like, you.

[Ken]

Threw that in there.

[Ben]

Dude, that was just.

[Ken]

That was an accident. That was an accident for sure.

[Mike]

I.

[Ken]

She had a dumper, too.

[Mike]

It was like half an accident, but it was too firm.

[Grandpa Ron]

Yeah.

[Ben]

It's so unnecessary.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Maybe he was just thinking he was out on the field because his son just got drafted. And when you're playing football, you slap each other on the ass, you know? So maybe he, like, had some flashbacks to his old days.

[Ben]

In the write up, it goes, that is no accident whatsoever. Not once, but twice.

[Ken]

The one would been weird. I feel like the two is like the good job.

[Mike]

It was just the fact that he, like. He didn't come from the top, like, tried to get a little waist. He came from down under.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he did kind of go underneath it.

[Ken]

There's no way that wasn't an accident. But, yeah, it is weird. That's a very unfortunate event, so. Because that's going to overshadow him getting drafted. Like, come on, dad.

[Ryan]

That's what the whole article's about now.

[Ken]

Everyone forgot. No, I'm known as the dude.

[Ben]

I'm.

[Ken]

I'm the new guy now. Everyone knows me as the dude with the dad who slaps my girlfriend's ass.

[Mike]

Dude, I think.

[Ken]

What about the jets player, the quarterback?

[Ben]

Zach Wilson.

[Ken]

Zach Wilson. Last year there was a whole scandal because his girl, like.

[Ben]

Well, I mean, he was hooking up with his mom's best friend.

[Ken]

Strange stuff, man. All that just comes to light. It's unfortunate that I think the biggest moment though.

[Ben]

Yeah, but I. I think within like.

[Ken]

His team definitely gave him some respect for sure.

[Ben]

I mean they were probably.

[Ken]

Damn.

[Ben]

I don't know if how well that worked out for him though. Evan's like, what's wrong with being a rat? Oh my God. Evan moves to New York.

[Mike]

Evan. Evan shares Evans. Evan shares a few video ideas with people he maybe shouldn't have. That didn't ruin a whole lot. And now he's forever known as a knock.

[Ryan]

We should pull up a clip of cart narcs. That shit's funny.

[Mike]

Yeah. Look at you, Ken.

[Ryan]

Jiminy.

[Ken]

See it's. I think it's kind of funny being a narc. If it's like light hearted like this, like there's really no consequence.

[Mike]

Well, that's kind of why I use this as an example because it truly is like one of those things. Unless you're physically incapable and handicapped. Just put your cart back. Weep, skeep, wheedle. A deep deep. Agent Cameron here with the cart narcs. It's not where the carts go that doesn't win.

[Ken]

That's not where the cards go.

[Mike]

No, but they're people.

[Ben]

They pay people. Okay man, let me explain.

[Mike]

We hear this all the time.

[Ben]

Oh, listen buddy, listen.

[Mike]

I get what you're saying.

[Ben]

Thank you. I get what you're saying.

[Ken]

But.

[Ben]

But there's no.

[Mike]

I don't really care.

[Ben]

You don't care.

[Ken]

This seems fake.

[Mike]

Well now ma', am, when you go to the sure.

[Ken]

This seems something kind of.

[Ben]

But this doesn't seem fake at all.

[Mike]

Do you pee on the seat when you use a public restroom?

[Ben]

Cuz they pay people to clean.

[Mike]

That's the same idea.

[Ben]

Ah, gotcha.

[Jimmy]

Then he put some magnets my life.

[Ryan]

That's why.

[Mike]

And don't listen to music while you're in your car. That's not safe and it's against you.

[Ben]

What kind of car was that? What do we got here?

[Mike]

He puts these magnets on their car. They back your car here for you madam.

[Ben]

Right now.

[Mike]

I will if you take your card back. Would you like to do that for me?

[Hudson]

Knock it off.

[Jimmy]

Knock what off?

[Mike]

Being a responsible person.

[Ken]

My stuff.

[Ben]

That's okay.

[Mike]

It's for you. See, he's got her phone number on it.

[Ben]

You bother me right now. I mean it.

[Grandpa Ron]

But you're bothering.

[Mike]

People are blocking the spot. Do you understand the correlation? Man, you're starting this.

[Ben]

Back the off, man.

[Mike]

All I did was ask you.

[Ben]

But ma', am, what's your the alone?

[Ken]

I made it.

[Mike]

I got more.

[Ryan]

Get the away from me.

[Ken]

This guy is awesome.

[Mike]

You're starting and people just.

[Ben]

He's got to be in Florida.

[Mike]

It is gotta be in Canada.

[Ryan]

It's in Naples, Florida.

[Ben]

Oh yeah.

[Mike]

Like a big old sour purpose me. Did you see her what she did with her car? See now reacting.

[Ben]

You're falling for her tricks.

[Mike]

They give you one right there.

[Ben]

Talking about.

[Mike]

That's what I'm talking about is the car.

[Ken]

Dude just got him slap.

[Ben]

Holy crap.

[Ken]

Why doesn't she just drive away?

[Mike]

That's my favorite part. So many people are like, I'm in.

[Ben]

A hurry, I gotta go.

[Mike]

And they're like, okay, just put your cart back.

[Ben]

Two minutes.

[Ryan]

Oh my God. This lady's going intense.

[Ben]

They pay people.

[Evan]

I told you the analogy.

[Mike]

Do you throw trash on the ground? Because they pay people to pick that up too.

[Ben]

No, they don't pay people to pick it up.

[Mike]

Then what a garbageman for?

[Ben]

Shut the up, dude. Man. He had to have just. Just unlocked something.

[Ryan]

Just hidden in this lady.

[Mike]

Yeah, but I think that's what I mean. Like he. He unlocks that out of a lot of people.

[Ken]

This guy must have been like a former cart boy that had to go.

[Ryan]

Out and get him.

[Ben]

Yeah, you know. You know what I love most about this guy is that he's acting very Karen ish by going up and basically telling people, you know, but then card away and then he brings the Karen out of not being a Karen. It's like two Karens going at each other and. And then pretty soon he looks pretty normal. What he said wasn't even out of line. The way that he came up kind of reminds me of that. That police officer that isn't a police officer that gets like super heated. Yeah. But it's not his job, you know, so he's kind of got like the same like, it's not my job, but I'm. I'm going to just.

[Ryan]

I'm going to do it anyway.

[Ken]

We should do this for a bit. The nice thing is a hilarious bit, dude.

[Ryan]

He's got a playful attitude with it, which is kind of what helps.

[Ken]

It doesn't sound like he's going to be very playful.

[Mike]

I like what Ben said. Him telling them to put their cart back is a Karen move, but he's not a Karen. He just very civil about it and just like pushes back lightly. But he's not a Karen.

[Ken]

Do this. This would be a great bit.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This would be good.

[Ken]

When you put a magnet on someone's car, can you get in trouble though? I feel like I'd be fucking pissed. Well, we know Ken would be pissed if someone put a car.

[Ben]

But if.

[Ken]

If someone did that on, like, my gtr, I'd be like, don't fucking touch my car.

[Ben]

Yeah, I wonder if Cart Narcs was a thing before he was recording it.

[Ken]

Let's go to the climate.

[Ben]

I wonder if he used to just do it without making a video of it, just for the love of the game. And then he was like, man, I should. I should make content out of this. Or if he was like, this would be pretty funny, and then started doing it, you know, like, what came first? The chicken or the egg here?

[Ryan]

The cart or the narc?

[Mike]

You know, it's amazing.

[Ken]

You got to order some of these.

[Mike]

So Ken just skipped forward six minutes into the video, and this guy's just getting like, he's. Yeah, I'm. I'm trying to de. Escalate, but.

[Ken]

No, you're making the situation.

[Ben]

No, you.

[Ken]

You're escalating it by just not turning around.

[Mike]

I'll happy to leave.

[Jimmy]

I don't want to make her. I don't want to make your job any harder.

[Ken]

Just go ahead and walk away.

[Ben]

I Will that be great. Thank you, sir.

[Mike]

Appreciate that. Thank you.

[Ken]

Damn, this is dinged up too.

[Ben]

You sure you don't want this?

[Ryan]

Okay. He is more of an I remember dude.

[Mike]

Why.

[Ben]

Why is this the most Cali guy ever?

[Ken]

Look at his post.

[Ben]

Kelly lives in California.

[Ken]

It does do him kind of dirty, though, because it's like you catch someone at the wrong time having a bad day, and then 1 million people watch. They look freak out. Yeah, exactly. You know, it is. It is kind of that. Like, we talked about it on a couple podcasts back, you just. You're like, pushing someone's buttons to hopefully get them to freak out at you.

[Ryan]

And then they finally do something that you want. Yeah, you know, Ev.

[Mike]

I.

[Ryan]

There's a lot of good qualities that you have, but I wouldn't say that your money spending is. Is one of your terrible, terrible, terrible.

[Evan]

Yeah, no, I know. I probably should get a financial advisor, but it's kind of like going to the doctor. Like, I'm a little hurt. I don't want to go in and hear bad news.

[Ryan]

They're only going to tell you things you're not going to like to hear, I'll tell you that much.

[Evan]

Yeah, I'm not. Not trying to hear it.

[Ken]

You'd have to have, like, a full lifestyle change, I think.

[Mike]

Not really, but I think if they were to inform you that you need A lifestyle change. Like, you'd be like, oh, you're no longer my financial advisor.

[Ryan]

Different one that tells them to spend money.

[Evan]

Yeah. Where's the. Where's the advisor that tells me to head to Vegas once a month?

[Ryan]

Can we do have a little history of throwing you the most legendary birthday parties ever? Like, when I look back at people's birthdays, I think Ken's are the most notable because I don't think I've thrown you a birthday party when you turn 21, 22, and 23. I don't know about 24. But those three years, the cops came to your birthday party every time Ken has bangers.

[Ben]

They.

[Nikki]

They were like the peak birthday years. Those were the best.

[Ken]

I feel like people, without even your consent or asking, they just set you up for this extreme birthday party.

[Nikki]

And then the closer I get to 30, it's just been a slow decline. And 27, that was a low point.

[Ken]

With the cake smash by Ben.

[Nikki]

That was.

[Ben]

That was bad.

[Ken]

The candle to the eye.

[Nikki]

And this year, not drinking.

[Ken]

That was just beautiful. That was a. So is that part of the reason why you're not drinking? You're like, I don't want to be drunk on my birthday and have my guard down in case Ben comes out with another cake again?

[Nikki]

No. So it's kind of like a few other people. They did dry January, and I was like, ah, I'm starting it late, but whatever, I'll just go into February. So then I get the full, like 30 days, one month thing. And it's been nice. Just happens to be overlaps my birthday.

[Ken]

You seem like you've been in a better mood. And also I like, visibly. You look healthier too.

[Ryan]

I'm very, very proud of you.

[Nikki]

Very proud of you. My apple watch notified me this week that my resting heart rate has been lower for the last 30 days.

[Ken]

I'm sure feel good.

[Ryan]

Says, okay, this is a sticky one.

[Ben]

Oh, we can't mention any names here because we've got to stay anonymous. But what would happen or how can I solve this issue if I potentially. My best friend's ex girlfriend and I haven't told him about it. Yo, we're gonna.

[Ryan]

That actually goes back.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Punch him in the face. Next one.

[Ryan]

He'S gonna get punched.

[Mike]

To be honest, every situation is.

[Ken]

That's a different situation.

[Mike]

We don't know what his friends like, if he's a hothead or if he's a chiller.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

And, like, what their relationship was like. Like, how long have they been broken up for? Is a Big thing like has as he moved on from her. I mean, definitely hate to say it, man, but not that, not a bro move, but I mean, there's nothing wrong with being sorry about it and, and coming clean for sure. You know, I.

[Ben]

This is going to be a lot better coming from you because that otherwise she's going to hold.

[Ken]

Yeah, that's true.

[Ryan]

Somebody else figures out from somebody.

[Ken]

It'll probably come out. Yeah. Unless you're lucky. So then, I mean, if you, if you don't say anything and then it comes out, definitely much worse than just coming clean. But if it's like a lot of time has passed, man, that is a stink, man. If he's got an inkling that you did it and you did and he's gonna like, it'll just never be the same. So you'd be better off just coming clean.

[Ryan]

Godspeed, brother.

[Grandpa Ron]

Yep.

[Ben]

What's the worst injury you've had?

[Hudson]

Broken femur. At, man. What was I 12 years old? Was pretty gnarly, but when I broke my ankle and my tailbone in 2017 and then was hospitalized for two weeks because I lost 60% of my blood.

[Mike]

Whoa.

[Hudson]

Yeah, I got, I got.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Hudson]

What happened? Yeah, I got dispatched from one small town hospital, diagnosed with a broken tailbone and a broken ankle. And like, they didn't even give me crutches or anything. They just like straight off the hospital bed into the back seat of the truck. And Nikki and Hudson was like newborn, like, not very old at all. She drives me up over this mountain pass and we're trying to get home and I'm just like laying in the. Laying in the back seat of the truck, just excruciating pain. Hudson's crying. She's. I said newborn, but I think maybe she's like a year. She's just like, she's crying, just, just doing baby stuff. I'm freaking out because my stomach hurts so bad and I haven't like pissed in 22 hours or something and my stomach starts getting super, super hard and I'm just like, I'm just begging Nikki, like, just drive faster. Like we need to get to the next town anyway. This is a two hour drive between towns.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Hudson]

It got so bad that I told her, like, we need more help than this, you know, like, so she calls my physical trainer and she's like, what do I do? And he got us like the hotline to the front desk at ER at the hospital in Kamloops. Called the front desk, they dispatched an ambulance to meet us at the front of the Hospital. Because that's the quickest way to get yourself in.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Hudson]

So they ripped me out of the back seat of the truck, put me onto the. The gurney, in through ER Right to the trauma unit. And, you know, I get diagnosed, and they. They're doing all these scans, and I was like, I'm gonna say, 100 mils away from, like, my bladder bursting and just going full septic. And so then they started running blood tests, and I was, like, 60% low on red blood cells. I was internally bleeding inside so bad that I was just, like. My stomach was just filling up with fluid, and I was just, like, pretty much just driving around dead.

[Ben]

Holy.

[Hudson]

And that was in 2017. I was hitting a freestyle ramp at Kyle Demello's house and was just doing a whip, and I whipped really hard in my hand, for whatever reason, came off of the bars, and I grabbed back on, and I tried to straighten the bike out and just wasn't coming back straight. So I bailed and just went 90ft to my feet and just crumpled and landed on the bike. Drove the foot peg through my ass and broke my tailbone. Broke my right ankle. And, yeah, I guess that was. I'm gonna say that's the gnarliest one.

[Ben]

That is insane. After that, weren't you, like, man kind of dirt bikes a little bit.

[Hudson]

But then I was like, I love dirt bikes. Three months later, I was back riding ramps again. Six months later, I went double golds at Winterx. So it was like.

[Ben]

So you didn't let it slow you down too much?

[Hudson]

No, but it slowed me down. Now that ankle is pooched.

[Ben]

Oh, really?

[Hudson]

Yeah.

[Ben]

That seems to kind of be the general saying. For most athletes that are performing at a. At a high level, injuries rarely slow.

[Hudson]

Them down, Especially until you get 35 like me. And then you're like, yeah, I wake up in the morning like, oh, there's that 2017 ankle injury or the tailbone. Like, any more than two hours on the airplane, I'm just like, oh, my gosh, this sucks. I need to stand up.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Not very often.

[Hudson]

I'm gonna be that guy that packs around an inflatable donut.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah.

[Hudson]

Yeah. To sit on. Just like, if I'm flying to Japan or Australia or something. That's me. That's my steez.

[Ben]

Dude.

[Mike]

Really?

[Hudson]

Yeah. I'd probably have, like, rubber ducks or something on something rad.

[Ryan]

Look at the. Look at the operator. Operator.

[Mike]

The one more time shirt.

[Ryan]

Dude. This guy went straight for the spin property. Ow.

[Nikki]

Dude, I don't think that was the one where I hurt myself because there's four different videos on that.

[Ben]

How many times did you get bucked off that bullet?

[Nikki]

It was three.

[Ken]

You know how it is when you get knocked down, you gotta get back up.

[Ben]

He's never get back.

[Mike]

He's never been a quitter.

[Ben]

This guy's middle name is Perseverance Ken Perseverance Matthews.

[Mike]

Dude, if he's not careful, we're gonna replace his last name with something else too.

[Ben]

Multiple times.

[Ken]

I didn't know that you wrote it multiple times.

[Nikki]

You pay 30 bucks. It's like 10 bucks a time.

[Ken]

Wait, there's like a time limit. Gets all up. You're like, so get back on.

[Mike]

What was going through your head when you handed him 30 instead of 10?

[Ben]

I don't.

[Nikki]

I don't remember how much it cost. I just know it was like you get to ride like three times.

[Ryan]

No, Ken, it was that one when you up your knee. My favorite part is this guy in the back though. The guy far left. Look at this guy. Look at him dance.

[Ben]

There it is. Do you feel like you almost become like a slave to the lifestyle that you create?

[Jimmy]

And I have friends that are more successful that are. And then you go and you see them and you're like, hey, dude, like, like off camera. Like not even on and off camera and not even YouTubers alone, but just like professional in very high. Other elements of any type of world. And you're like, hey, dude, what's up? And they're just like, hey, dude, what's up? I'm like, dude, like, it's been so long, Howard. And it's like, yeah, man.

[Hudson]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You just tell there's a lot Wayne.

[Jimmy]

And you're like, dude, the soul is gone out of them. And there's some that have friends with some that have like realized that fix it, come back and like, dude, like, it's too thin. Like I, like, I'm not. Like the body's there, but like the inside that wanted it. It's like just gutted. And it's like that eight year old perspective ripped. Ripped out of them. Like, how much of a slave to the game do you need to take to have that? Because there just a fact. Unless you have a billion dollars that was given to you and you don't, you can't have. You can't have both.

[Ryan]

No, you can't work.

[Ben]

No, you have.

[Jimmy]

There is a, like, if we want to call it a slave to the job, like there is that to a certain degree. And again, everyone loves what they do. I don't think you get that to that success level if you don't truly love it and you're like, well, this is what I want to do anyway. But when it's all you're doing, like 130 hours a week, whatever, how many hours are on the weekend? And you never stop and you never, like, take that for yourself or the family or find the other things that recharge you. Yeah. It's like you, like, what's the point?

[Ken]

Right?

[Mike]

Sometimes it takes someone else driving your car, your bike, your whatever to be like, oh, I do love that. That is cool. I forgot I made it that cool.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Kind of feel that way too. When some other guy starts test driving your chick, you know, start wondering.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh, man, I really shouldn't have given that up.

[Ben]

You got the jaw drop from Ken on that one.

[Ryan]

I haven't had that problem, but good. Well, geez, Ken was alone.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

That is a good thing to have. You said it like you, you have had that problem.

[Ryan]

Well, eventually one. I mean, at some point I did in my life.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Who hasn't, though? Ben. Ben hasn't.

[Ben]

Yeah, no, I have.

[Ken]

Oh, never mind. I have.

[Ben]

That's how me and my ex girlfriend broke up.

[Ken]

Oh, someone else was test driving her.

[Ben]

Yeah, he didn't even.

[Ken]

He wasn't even selling the car. They were just getting test drives.

[Mike]

Oh, no.

[Ben]

Yeah. Do you guys look at Americans, like, man, those guys are idiots. Like, like, do Canadians.

[Evan]

You gotta think about it in the.

[Mike]

Limelight, in the camera, you need to be polarizing. You gotta be like one or the other.

[Ken]

Gotta be one or the other. Otherwise you're nothing.

[Mike]

I think I made a mistake. So I don't think it was worth it for me to get my nipple pierced.

[Ben]

I was going to say is this.

[Mike]

And like, and, and I'll hear it from you guys. But like, I already know. I know the whole story. Like, I know, I know that I didn't react good enough. The whole, like, everything about me getting my nipple pierced was bullshit. Like, it didn't even make. And it didn't make it in the year end recap. Which I get. Yeah, I get that. But it didn't make it in that. And then also, like, I didn't do it during the summer, so no one, like, saw it in person. The reason that I got it was parking in front of the door. Like, total.

[Ken]

It's total.

[Ben]

It's barely. We had to like, cut it up to make it even at all interesting.

[Mike]

I remember even at the time being like, should I just. You Know, lay down and be like.

[Ryan]

I'm not doing it.

[Mike]

I'll do it for a better reason.

[Ken]

But you could have probably said that. But also at the same time, we were staying so true, right?

[Ben]

Like, this rule.

[Mike]

I was like, kind of like, I think it's dumb. I'll still do it. And then I was like, I'm gonna be a badass and not make a noise. And then it was just like, he pokes a needle through my nipple. And then everyone's like, ha, you got it.

[Ken]

There was something cool about, like, how you were so tough about it, but it definitely.

[Mike]

That's the only cool thing I have to say.

[Ken]

The only positive about you being so, like, tough and not even flinching about it was that it was different than everyone else absolutely screaming their lungs out.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

It was like a good conspiracy comparison to.

[Grandpa Ron]

Right.

[Ben]

But no, at the end of the day, like, when we were making the year end recap, we had all these different ones. There was what, six of them and, well, five. There's five of them. Ryan didn't have his, and we were like, man, I feel like this is just like, kind of getting repetitive and.

[Mike]

And if there was anyone to cut.

[Ben]

Out mics, and I'll just take pride.

[Mike]

In that, then I'll take pride in that.

[Ben]

I remember just being like, damn, he's gonna watch this and be like, hour.

[Ryan]

And 45 minute long video. I couldn't get three seconds for his nipple getting pierced.

[Mike]

All right.

[Ryan]

Even though that unfortunately had to be redacted, is there anything else that happened that night that you're feel comfortable talking about?

[Ben]

Oh, yeah, like getting punched in the face. All right, do you want to start this little segment here with you two? Yeah.

[Ryan]

Should we separate you or is.

[Nikki]

We're good.

[Ken]

Ken, you want to switch spots with Mike just to make sure there's no more physical altercation?

[Ben]

Hold the bag.

[Ken]

Jake's gonna need the safe place. He's the one getting assaulted.

[Ben]

Well, I don't know if. I don't know if Jake is in the right here.

[Ken]

No.

[Ben]

Jake deserves to be protected.

[Nikki]

Like, I have one coming back.

[Ken]

Come on, say what happened.

[Nikki]

Get to the story.

[Ben]

Well, Jake hooked up with Micah's ex girlfriend. Jake then told Micah, and then Micah punched him in the face.

[Mike]

That is the very short version of it. That's actually.

[Ken]

That's rightfully so.

[Mike]

That's how Jake tells the story on when he tells people. Yeah, but no, it was. This is all premeditated with the both of us.

[Ben]

But you told him to.

[Ryan]

You planned on it.

[Ben]

No, I didn't plan.

[Nikki]

Back up.

[Mike]

He was very nervous to tell me that information.

[Ben]

So.

[Mike]

Yeah, I think so. But then you. You told me he called you, and you're like, do you think he's going to care? And you're like, I don't know. I don't. Maybe.

[Ben]

Well, so Jake, after it happened, Jake called me. It was like, dude, I got to get this off my chest. I hooked. I hooked up with Mike's girlfriend last night. Ex girlfriend. Yeah, man, do you think he's going to be mad? And I laugh and I go, man, dude, you got no boundaries, do you?

[Ryan]

Four time champions now. I wanted to get you a trophy.

[Nikki]

He's got three on his belt. Army.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Grandpa Ron]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And. And I go, to answer your question, though, no, he won't be mad. Dude, Mike never gets mad. And. And I think it's water under the fridge. He's not gonna be mad. And then you called me a couple days later, bro, dude, I told Mike, and he punched me in the face. And I was like, no way.

[Ryan]

Dude, I'm not gonna lie. When I told him, I was just.

[Nikki]

Stunned at what happened. We were just, like, looking at each other.

[Ben]

I mean, he was not what happened.

[Ken]

You have every right to be mad.

[Ben]

Mike gets punched. I'd be mad for the sake of the story.

[Mike]

I wish that would have been. There would have been no words exchanged. I just punch. But then later on, you're like, you're seriously not mad. And we were hanging, we were drinking. We were like, just. Just, like, hanging out all night. And then it'd be like, dude, well, like, do you, like, not want to, like, punch me right now? Like, are you not mad? And then I'll be like, I mean, I'd punch you, but, like, not because of that, but it would be fun. And you're like, all right, how about. You know, just one of those, like, moments where he's like, how about you punch me in the face, we'll call it even. And then I'm like, let's do it. I've never punched anybody in the face before. Let's try it out.

[Nikki]

Feel good?

[Mike]

So then you're like, well, don't make it like a light punch either. You know, Punch me.

[Ben]

Like, do it right.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Easily the hardest I've ever punched anyone. Also, the only time I have, as far as I remember, but commade connection to those big ass cheekbones you got there.

[Ken]

Yeah, right on the cheek.

[Mike]

Yeah, right there.

[Ken]

You went for kind of the knockout.

[Ben]

Well, the next morning, I woke up.

[Ryan]

Why does my, like, why Is my.

[Ben]

Jaw hurt sore and, like, out of place?

[Ryan]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. And granted, like, we were very laried.

[Ben]

At the time, so I was like trying to just reconnect the dots and I go, oh, yeah, Mike punched me in the face last night. And then Jake's pissed. He's like, what the.

[Mike]

Yeah, I'm gonna punch him back.

[Ken]

Yeah, you go and beat his ass.

[Ben]

Now he just forgot about everything. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Say now that you're even. Like, I don't know if we're even. Does that open the door again?

[Ken]

I'd say you're even. Honestly, like, that's. That was some water under the bridge.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

You know, squash the beef once again. Four time champions, huh?

[Ryan]

Yeah, we got that, dogs. Dude, how many, like, rings do Jordan and Pippen have? Like, you guys are freaking.

[Ken]

That's what they're gonna talk about in the, like, local bar scene.

[Ben]

Championship duos.

[Ryan]

It's like Tom Brady and Gronk and Mike and Jake.

[Ken]

Well, I mean, at least there's not that. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty. No line to begin with.

[Ben]

We really don't have a line here.

[Mike]

That's why it's like, after he told me if our friendship is like, here, it went down to here and then back up to there.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

It's unfazed.

[Nikki]

That's good.

[Ken]

Yeah, that's good.

[Ryan]

Sign of true friendship.

[Mike]

Right? And Ben, you know me well. I don't get mad.

[Ben]

I was. That's why I was so surprised when Jake was like, dude, he punched me in the face. I was like, what?

[Ken]

I. I don't think Mike would ever get physical. Like, no matter how mad you are. I just.

[Mike]

No, you're right. You're right about that too. Like, I. I don't think I would ever get physical physically.

[Ken]

You just, like, be like, you're an idiot and just walk away.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

Or I might have the meanest words ever that I can conjure up. But that's, like, about it. And that would only happen. Yeah, it might be worse.

[Ryan]

Might be worse.

[Ben]

Might go back to his bullying.

[Mike]

I just started bullying the shit out of Jake.

[Ryan]

Today we're taking an IQ test to figure out which one of us has the highest iq.

[Ken]

Oh, my gosh.

[Mike]

I love this. I love this.

[Ryan]

It's tough to, like, rank one through five. But who do you think is going to be the smartest and who you think is going to be the worst?

[Ben]

I think C.J. is going to think that he's going to be the smartest.

[Ken]

I don't think that at all. Right. Now.

[Ben]

But I think Ryan's gonna be the smartest. Let's go. And I think Mike's gonna be the worst. Or me. Or keep in mind me.

[Ken]

I think Ken's gonna be the smartest.

[Ryan]

That's what I was thinking, too.

[Grandpa Ron]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I got faith in Ken.

[Ken]

When it comes to standardized testing. I think Ken will be the best.

[Ben]

You know?

[Ken]

And then I think Ryan.

[Ben]

I think Ken is almost too smart for his own good. It almost kind of sets him back a little bit. Can't apply it.

[Nikki]

Oh, God.

[Ben]

All right, dude, let's.

[Mike]

Let's do it.

[Ben]

Gosh, I have such a terrible feeling about this, Dude. This is literally hurting my brain.

[Jimmy]

Dude.

[Ben]

I. I want to throw up right now.

[Mike]

Do it. It'll make you feel better.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Ken]

I might have just up.

[Mike]

I. Well, I had to guess on the last three. I got my results. I don't know if it's.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I mean, already, let's.

[Ken]

I probably got the worst.

[Mike]

How should we.

[Ken]

How do we do it?

[Ryan]

Not very.

[Ken]

Maybe to reveal.

[Ben]

Can we.

[Ryan]

Can we cut this bit?

[Mike]

Ryan, can you imagine? They're like. You're. You're joking, right?

[Ben]

I guarantee I did worse.

[Ken]

All right, I'll go first.

[Mike]

All right. All right.

[Ken]

Which. I'm probably the worst. I got 102. Okay.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Ken]

One on two.

[Mike]

Yeah, it was. Hey. I'm trying not to react right now.

[Ryan]

I know, because I don't want to give mine away, but you're reacting.

[Ben]

97.

[Ryan]

I got a 97. It was a high stress environment.

[Ken]

I guessed on a bunch, which probably penalized mine. I would have been better off. I probably have, like, a 110.

[Ben]

Would you get Mike?

[Mike]

I got a 110.

[Ben]

No. No way.

[Ken]

Show me it. Let me see that.

[Ryan]

There ain't no way.

[Ken]

Let me see it.

[Ben]

Cam, what'd you get?

[Ken]

Let me see it.

[Nikki]

I got 100.

[Mike]

Pulling it up.

[Ken]

I got. What?

[Ben]

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

[Evan]

No way.

[Ben]

Hey, I got a 102. Wait, you guys got the worst score.

[Nikki]

Ryan got the worst score.

[Ken]

You're the only two with actual college degree.

[Ben]

Mike got a 110.

[Mike]

You guys are so lucky that I don't talk shit.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Mike]

You know, like, I. I just. I'm not a rub it in your face type of fellow, dude.

[Ben]

Mike cut a 110.

[Ryan]

Holy shit.

[Ben]

I got a 97.

[Ryan]

My parents paid for private school, dude. They got to be fucking kicking themselves right now. How did I do so bad?

[Ken]

I'm honestly shocked. I am shocked by these results.

[Ryan]

I had this whole thing planned to be like. Yeah, well, just because your IQ is lower doesn't mean you don't have creative smarts and stuff like that. Completely blew it out of the water.

[Mike]

Okay, so this is just at a first Google search. I go, what Is an average IQ in general? An IQ is defined with a medium, okay, of 100 scores above one average. Scores above 130 are labeled as above average or very superior, while scores under 70.

[Ben]

Okay.

[Mike]

Be considered below average or labeled as borderline impaired. Most people have an average IQ between 85 and 115.

[Ben]

So like, yeah, mine said I'm in the 55 percentile. So I'm just. I'm too smarter than average, which I'm stoked about.

[Ryan]

I guess I'm above average being slightly below average, dude.

[Nikki]

I'm just painfully average.

[Ken]

Ken, what the frick, man? I. I don't think we could have had literally the vice versa flipped around. What was yours again, Ken?

[CJ]

100.

[Ken]

You had a hundred?

[Ryan]

Yeah, right on the nut.

[Nikki]

That is exactly average. 50th percentile, dude.

[Ben]

I literally said Ryan's the smartest and Mike's the the dumbest. No offense, Mike. I think the complete opposite.

[Evan]

What's your prediction?

[Ben]

I know it's good. If the camera's out, it's either really good or really bad.

[Mike]

Equally as likely.

[Ben]

I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt that it's been a long day and I'm gonna say 92.

[Evan]

I wish.

[Ben]

Oh, what. What the. This thing is has to be broken. No offense. No way. Evan's the smartest. Sea Boy, man.

[Grandpa Ron]

Holy.

[Ben]

Followed up by Mike. What a plot twist.

[Evan]

The test is reversed. I'm sure of it.

[Ben]

Are we sure that this is the right way? Like, are we sure that higher score is good? Damn, dude. Respect. Sorry for doubting you.

[Evan]

What can I say, Benny?

[Ben]

What's up with the fight outside your door that one night?

[Ken]

There's a fight, so we get moved to the new room. Maybe it wasn't that nice of a hotel. We moved a new room and we're sleeping. All of a sudden she wakes me. She's like, get down, get down. She thought there was gonna be like, gunfire.

[Ben]

Holy crap. She really trusts this place.

[Ken]

I'm like, what the. And there's this whole commotion and we're on the bottom floor, so I like walk out. I got my contacts in, none of that. I go and open up the blinds. There's like these two frat looking college kids and a dad and the girl. They're freaking out at these other two dudes. And then there's like the security, the hotel security trying to like, you know, some like inter, like stop them. And the police ended up coming. But this like frat kid, like this college kid. And then there's like. So there was a dad and a mom too. And I feel like they were like the girlfriend's parents. Parents. I'm like, dude, I really hope this kid. I hope this, I hope this kid wasn't on vacation with his girlfriend's family because he had to have looked terrible. No, hopefully not. But anyways, the fucking frat kid picks up this security guard's walkie talkie and like threw it at the ground, like spiked it. And the security guards like, you're fucking asshole. It was such a, such a mess. Meanwhile, Alex is like, I'm like, baby, these guys are. They don't got guns. We don't gotta worry about nothing. And I'm standing there in my boxers just like from here to like not far at all. Like they could very clearly see me.

[Ben]

I'm just watching.

[Ken]

And the cops come and like they're like trying to hold like they're detaining like the. Oh my God, the frat looking cage. The other guys were kind of. They pull them off this way. And the mom is like, he's a criminal justice major. He's a criminal justice major. And it was the funniest.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

You know who else was a criminal justice major?

[Mike]

Who?

[Ben]

The guy that, the guy that murdered the four students. He was a criminal justice. Yeah, yeah.

[Ken]

And I thought that was funny because I was like, oh, yeah, he's. Never mind, guys, you got to let him off. He's a criminal justice major. He's drunk, throwing walkie talkies, picking a fight.

[Ben]

And I just thought it was fun.

[Mike]

He knows what he's doing.

[Ken]

He's a criminal justice major. And I just kept saying that then.

[Ben]

For the rest of the day she.

[Ken]

Just making fun of college degrees, which then Alex, you know, she maybe just got annoyed at me constantly. Criminal justice major.

[Mike]

There's, there's.

[Ken]

And I almost opened the door and started cracking some jokes.

[Ben]

She's like, stop it, stop it.

[Ryan]

You know, it's fold like this.

[Ben]

He's a criminal justice major.

[Ken]

Okay?

[Mike]

There's no major that she could have.

[Ben]

You got to let him go.

[Mike]

That would have made it better, right?

[Ken]

No, Criminal justice major.

[Mike]

He's going to school to be a doctor. It'd be like, okay, he just tried.

[Ryan]

To kind of to be like, he's going for communications. Well, he obviously isn't very good at it.

[Ken]

Hey, guys, this Guy's going to college. We got to let him go.

[Ben]

He's a criminal justice have.

[Mike]

You were with me when I did this, but I got a call the other day from the. The. The Clay County Sheriff's Office, and, you know, it gave me flashbacks to, like, when I was younger, I'd get a call from the sheriff's department, and they would. You know, it'd be something that I was, like, maybe potentially involved in.

[Ryan]

Nothing crazy, like having your subwoofers too loud.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

It's like, we're.

[Mike]

Hey, you know, were you. Were you with the. The fellas that were throwing fireworks at the park?

[Ben]

You know, stuff like that.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Mike]

But anyway, flashbacks to that, but I. I'm. I'm getting a call from the Clay County Sheriff's Department. I'm like, well, I was like, dude, answer it. It's going to be. Just answer it. So I answer it.

[Evan]

It was like the jail recording. Like, press button to accept call.

[Ryan]

So then.

[Mike]

Yeah, so then it was like, press button to accept call for the jail. I'm like, okay, well, cool. Someone in jail is calling me.

[Ben]

This is so Mike would answer the phone. It was so great.

[Mike]

I got, you know, hello? And he's just like, hey, you still.

[Ben]

Are you still with dad? And I just.

[Mike]

Oh, man, did I ever want to troll him. Did I want to roll that with. You know, But I couldn't waste his minutes.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Oh, that was his. Next thing. He just goes, I just added four more minutes. You still with dad? And I was like, listen, you got the wrong number. Hang up. Call who you got to call because you only got three now.

[Ryan]

Like, someone from jail called you, and.

[Evan]

It happened so quick. Like, that quick, like you said. Are you with dad? I'm out of. I got four minutes.

[Mike]

Yeah. And I was like. And he's like, you know, assuming that. Yeah.

[Ben]

He was like, well, fudge.

[Mike]

Why did I dial the extra zero or whatever?

[Evan]

We kind of just like.

[Mike]

I was like, what was that?

[Evan]

What was that? What just happened?

[Mike]

It was just too good. I'm just, like, picturing you being in jail someone and trying to call your dad or your sister or your mom or your loved one, your significant other, and just messing up.

[Ryan]

And I work with Micah.

[Evan]

It can't be that easy to get minutes in there.

[Mike]

I mean, no.

[Evan]

Get money somehow. God knows what he had to do to get those minutes.

[Mike]

Seriously.

[Ken]

Only God knows. Not good.

[Jimmy]

So then I started filming some, like, tried to just copy what they were doing. Car reviews, this and that. And then I was like, okay, like, that's cool. But, like, I don't have any money. Let me start filming. Me and my friends, similar story. And then started filming more and more and then got a BRZ and then started filming on that and would post that, like, on Facebook forum pages. I'd get blocked on the forums that would just say everyone was talking me on the forums. And it just kind of like, started building and building and building. And then it wasn't ever, like, a moment that popped, but it was like, I eventually started uploading three times a week when I was in college, like, delegating all my time. And then, like, one summer when I had maybe like, 15, 000 subs, like, was on summer break, doubled down, started, like, uploading like, almost every day, and then started making like, three grand a.

[Ryan]

Month, four grand a month.

[Jimmy]

And then that four grand a month jumped to like, 10 GS. I'm like, well, what the. I saw the screenshots of my, like, YouTube AdSense account. I'm tripping out. And then it was like, oh, okay, I just made like, 13, 15 grand. At the end of summer, I'm gonna go back to my job. And I was in the nursing program at my school. And then nurses here make like 100 GS a year. And I'm like, I'm making more right now, allegedly, if I continue this than if I was. No nursing. And I went back to school, saw, like, the syllabus for that semester and.

[Mike]

Was like, I can't fucking keep up.

[Jimmy]

Six videos in this trip and this trip. And I was like, traveling, meeting other YouTubers all summer, and I just, like, freaked the out. And I walked out of class.

[Ryan]

And, like, what year were you in school that year? My junior year. So you were in. I mean, I wasn't like, freshman.

[Jimmy]

I was in. And I was like, 50 grand in debt. In college. In college debt. Yeah. I just walked out and I was.

[Ben]

Like, just on the chance of.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And you, at that point, you were like, I'm gonna be a YouTuber full time.

[Jimmy]

It was more. It wasn't like, I'm gonna be a YouTuber at the time because, like, it was still such a foreign concept. It wasn't like a. Like, you know, like, there's third graders are like, I want to be a.

[Ben]

YouTuber, YouTube when I grow up.

[Jimmy]

Like, that wasn't a thing then. So it was more like, I'm just doing really well now. If I slow down, I'll never know.

[Ben]

What could have been.

[Jimmy]

And that thought scared the out of me.

[Ryan]

So anyway, I Was watching Facebook, as I do sometimes, and I saw this video that's about to play, and I thought about just sending in our group chat and going at, Ben could never do this. But then I thought it'd be funnier to talk about it on the podcast. So.

[Ben]

Roll, rolled.

[Ryan]

15 seconds of the clip. Oh, my gosh.

[Ken]

Oh, my gosh.

[Evan]

Well, the brims are too big. This guy's cheating. I think my friend Ben could do this with factory hats.

[Ben]

You want me to test on me?

[Ken]

Holy shit.

[Ryan]

I just love. This is just some really odd Chinese game show, Guinness World Records thing. Like fastest hats removed.

[Evan]

This is dumb.

[Ken]

These poor women are scared drunken laborers.

[Mike]

That can do this.

[Ken]

That is true. US operators like an extension of their body. But this, this also just shows, like, I swear to God, Chinese game shows are so dangerous.

[Nikki]

So we changed our WI fi and one of the things, it shows web traffic to different websites. One of the top sites has been the Hub.

[Mike]

No, really?

[Nikki]

Not top, but, like, it's identified.

[Ryan]

Hold on.

[Ken]

Does it say what they're like, searching, like, what kind of cat.

[Nikki]

It just shows traffic.

[Ben]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. For here or your house?

[Nikki]

For here.

[Ryan]

For real.

[Ben]

Well, who's the only one that lives here? Who's the one, Mike?

[Ryan]

Or do we have a work jerker?

[Ken]

I don't.

[Ryan]

Okay, pull it up.

[Nikki]

There are three devices.

[Ben]

Oh.

[Nikki]

13 Promax, an 11 Pro Max, and a 14 Pro.

[Mike]

Neither of them are me.

[Ben]

That's not. I got on the Hub.

[Ryan]

That. Yeah, that's funny. So how many visits?

[Nikki]

It doesn't say that. It just says three clients have visited the Hub. No, just says in the last 30 days.

[Ryan]

That is interesting.

[Ben]

And keeping tabs.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Micah was so hungover in that video, he didn't wake up until two. Remember?

[Mike]

I just couldn't.

[Ken]

Our biggest YouTube video ever.

[Ryan]

Couldn't at that point for sure.

[Mike]

Which is like. That's right.

[Ben]

Honestly.

[Ken]

Yeah, I slept through it.

[Mike]

Talk about, like, living standard.

[Ben]

You slept through that? Dude, I forgot about that.

[Ken]

We couldn't get him up when you said, whatever, let's just do it right. Do it right now and then.

[Mike]

I still love sleeping. Don't get me wrong there. I don't have crippling hangovers like that anymore. Try to be a little. Because honestly, like, since I was just.

[Ben]

So bummed, like, yeah, hungover when you're babysitting. He had a two beer limit.

[Ken]

Yeah. How could he be hungover?

[Jimmy]

That's what I mean.

[Mike]

I don't hangover like that. Where you just miss.

[Ryan]

I mean, where your Internal dialogue.

[Mike]

Turns out I felt like I missed.

[Ben]

That's a new definition.

[Mike]

I felt like I missed a part of history because essentially I didn't.

[Ken]

You did.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

So I'm gonna phrase this question one way. You can take it two ways. Do you think that video did so well because you weren't there?

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

That's the first way you could take it is exactly how you all did. The second one is the second half of that video is us waking you up, and it adds a good dynamic to the storyline. When you watch, you go, wow, one of these guys was so hungover, they woke him up with a fire extinguisher at three in the afternoon. Pretty funny.

[Ken]

So true.

[Ben]

It is.

[Mike]

Never know both ways.

[Ben]

It is funny, though, when you watch that back is it opens up with us trying to wake up Micah.

[Ken]

And that's what our biggest viral video.

[Ben]

Our most viral video is us complete. That is not how, like, you're supposed to do YouTube and open up a video. And we. And I mean, it's just kind of proof. It really doesn't matter. You can do whatever you want. But every time I watch that back, I. I'm always laughing like, damn, one, Mike slept through this, and, dude, this.

[Mike]

Is how you opened it up.

[Ryan]

See what I mean? It could be option two.

[Ben]

If you guys haven't seen our last video, we took our grandpa Ron bowling, and he might have had a little bit of a slip action.

[Grandpa Ron]

I'm not gonna make the tour, let's put it that way.

[Ryan]

A bowling tour?

[Ken]

I don't think so.

[Grandpa Ron]

I'm not quite good enough for that yet.

[Ken]

I didn't. I don't know how many injuries there are in bowling. Luckily, you don't seem to be injured, but, I mean, you damn well could have been.

[Grandpa Ron]

You know, when you have a head with nothing in it, you really can't get hurt that bad.

[Ben]

So there was a lot of concerned people, obviously, in the comments, but I got reached out to by just a bunch of friends being like, yo, is your grandpa okay? And thankfully you are, But a bunch of people have been wondering, so we wanted to have you on the podcast to show that you're still kicking it and still doing all right, and. And then also just sit down and shoot the. With you.

[Grandpa Ron]

What's okay? I mean, yeah, people never thought it was really okay no matter what I do. So it's one of the. Buddy, I'm fine. It took a little bounce there on the. On the alley, but I didn't realize it was that slippery. To be honest.

[Mike]

And I.

[Grandpa Ron]

In fact, somebody asked me if it was planned well. I planned on hitting that alley and sliding on my chest forward all the way to the pins. But when I threw the ball, it kind of threw me off balance. I went on my back.

[Ben]

So it was amazing how off the cuff you were going, though. I mean, even with. With, you know, the back and forth riffs between you and cj. Like, you know, going into it, we were just like, all right, here's kind of what we're gonna do. But, you know, just feel it out and. And just, you know, do whatever you think is funny. And then you go and do that shit. Which, honestly would have been hilarious if you wouldn't have ate shit. But imagine if he would have successfully gone halfway down and thrown the ball.

[Ken]

As soon as you went walking out there, you can see me go, oh, grandpa grand. Because I legit knew what I was like, does he? What? I didn't know what you were thinking. I assumed, you know, it's slippery being that. Not that, you know, you've been through 80 years of life. You think you would know. Bowling alley is slippery.

[Grandpa Ron]

Yeah.

[Ben]

You want to put this?

[Grandpa Ron]

Okay.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

But, yeah, no, it was. It was pretty amazing how good you were at off the cuff, just doing that and just going in it. You weren't even scared or anything. Like, I was. I was telling Ben, I was like, dude, I mean, we're pretty committed to this lifestyle of, like, doing stuff like that sometimes. And you were just basically like, yeah, sure, I'll do it. And you just went in, guns ablaze it and just did perfect. You could be an actor.

[Grandpa Ron]

I've been told that. Not a good one. That's the only thing.

[Ken]

You're a great actor. Yeah, well, you'd be your own stuntman, too.

[Grandpa Ron]

Well, I don't know about that one. What kind of stunts I could do.

[Ben]

I do my own stunts.

[Grandpa Ron]

I do my own stunts is right. And I see how long that would last, but, oh, yeah, it was fun with you guys. You know, I enjoy it.

[Ken]

You're a hit.

[Ben]

You're here.

[Grandpa Ron]

Well, I know about that.

[Ken]

You gotta see every comment is about you in the comment section. Yeah, well, that's fine, normally.

[Nikki]

So, Ryan, you. You slept with Ben one night in Florida.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we had different beds, though.

[Nikki]

I had to sleep with Ben one.

[Ken]

Night in the same bed.

[Mike]

The same bed with Ben in different bed.

[Ken]

Here we go.

[Ben]

Ten loves just out. Let's hear that. Well, what the did you do, Ben? What do you mean? I don't know. I was Drunk for one story and now I'm sleeping for the other. Pretty much out of control for both, so.

[Ken]

Right.

[Ben]

What else did I do?

[Nikki]

Ryan? You've got a video when he slept with you.

[Ryan]

Oh, I do. I'll pop it up.

[Ben]

HE GIGGLES.

[Nikki]

I went to bed.

[Mike]

He.

[Nikki]

Him and Ryan kept drinking outside. And I wake up and ready to.

[Ryan]

We tore it up.

[Nikki]

It's like four or five o' clock in the morning and I wake up, He's like bolt upright, just giggling.

[Ben]

I was sitting upright.

[Ken]

Ken was probably thinking. Ken was probably thinking, this is it. He's really gonna kill me this time.

[Nikki]

And then eventually just lay back down. And then probably 30 minutes later, I wake up, you're just grabbing my ass.

[Ryan]

What?

[Ken]

What?

[Ryan]

Ben.

[Ken]

Ben.

[Nikki]

And I was like, ben, get the away.

[Mike]

I love Ken's feet when he did that.

[Ben]

I don't remember that.

[Ken]

He grabbed it like this.

[Nikki]

I was like.

[Ryan]

He was grabbing a full blown grabbing it.

[Ben]

Good hold of it. No chance. No chance, dude. There's a good chance.

[Nikki]

I had to slap you away a couple. Like, it wasn't just once, it was like two or three times.

[Mike]

Stop it.

[Ben]

It's. Stop it. Resist those cheeks, Ken.

[Ryan]

Ah, yeah. Jeez, man.

[Ben]

Did you feel violated?

[Nikki]

I felt extremely uncomfortable and violated. I don't think I slept the whole night.

[Ken]

Ken went to the police station, filed a report, but then he retracted it, right, like shortly after.

[Mike]

What were you, like, afraid of? Were you.

[CJ]

Were you.

[Mike]

Were you awake so much because you were afraid of it happening again?

[Nikki]

Just kept doing things so frequently and it's like, I'm about to fall asleep and then he just does something else.

[Mike]

Oh, what else did he do?

[Nikki]

Well, he giggled a couple times and then he grabbed my ass.

[Ben]

Just no trust.

[Nikki]

I think he was awake and then by the time.

[Ben]

I think he was away, by the.

[Nikki]

Time he finally stopped doing stuff, the sun was coming up.

[Ken]

He was just laughing.

[Ben]

Stop doing stuff. Once I finally settled down, Ken's a.

[Ken]

Victim of the night.

[Mike]

I better just go rip some coffee.

[Ben]

That's crazy.

[Mike]

Ben touches my ass again.

[Nikki]

It was an uncomfortable night.

[Ben]

I'm sorry, Ken. I actually really am. I had no control over that. And I'm sorry, I don't really have anything else.

[Nikki]

It's funny, looking back.

[Ken]

He probably thought in the moment it was terrible.

[Ben]

I did. I probably thought you were Greta. Couldn't resist those cheeks.

[Ryan]

He starts feeling in his face go, oh, Greta, you're a little hairy.

[Nikki]

Shaved lately.

[Mike]

Okay, so, Ken, what is it with you and like, just budging into the bathroom even when the Door is closed.

[Nikki]

Well, you don't always know if somebody's in there.

[Grandpa Ron]

What?

[Ben]

That's okay.

[Mike]

That's what I'm wondering.

[Nikki]

Because sometimes people leave the door shut.

[Mike]

And you're like, yes.

[Nikki]

And there's nobody in there. That's why you just lock or not.

[Jimmy]

I do not.

[Nikki]

Sometimes nobody answers.

[Ken]

How long are you doing in there, Mike?

[Ben]

Where.

[Ken]

You don't hear him knock?

[Mike]

He doesn't knock for me. I'm not going to exaggerate it. This has happened three times to me where I'm just like. And actually two other times where I was just shitting with the door open that I get. You walk up on me and go, oh, I'm like, I. Sorry. I didn't think anyone was here. But then the other three times, you.

[Ben]

Even if that's.

[Ryan]

That's so strange, I feel that's too much for me.

[Mike]

No, I.

[Ben]

With the door open, I can't stop.

[Ken]

With how many people come through here.

[Mike]

But then the other three, he, like, just, like, walks in. It's just like a swift walk up, grab the door. Oh, you look so surprised. And then I'm like, what. Why did you swiftly walk in like that?

[Ben]

How far.

[Nikki]

Why don't you lock the door?

[Ken]

Like, is he.

[Mike]

I guess I just don't. But a lot of us fair.

[Ben]

I never locked the door.

[Mike]

Just when it's closed.

[Ben]

Yeah. It's our shop. I don't feel like there's just random nerds walking in most the time.

[Ken]

Well, there is nerds, though. Yeah.

[Mike]

Usually when the door is closed, it just means. So, like, again, I'm not saying I've ever heard any knocks. And then we're at the Sugar Sean fight. We got a whole bunch of people there, and Sydney and Angelo into the bathroom. And then Sydney's like, oh, Ken just walked in on us. But, I mean, we. Whoa. And I was like, what if the door was closed at a party? There's not no one in there. Like, I just don't know how that happens.

[Ryan]

Ken, what do you have against people's privacy?

[Nikki]

I don't know.

[Ryan]

Are you trying to catch a peek?

[Nikki]

There's just got to go.

[Ben]

And what are you.

[Nikki]

Mostly.

[Ben]

What are you going to do, Ken, if somebody's sitting on the can, you have to go.

[Nikki]

It's mostly. Some people, like, just don't. They. They go out the bathroom through Evan's room, and then that door is just shut for, like, two hours.

[Mike]

It doesn't happen.

[Nikki]

That does.

[Ken]

Just sitting out there for two hours, waiting for someone to come out.

[Ryan]

Have you guys ever had any moments where you've thought to yourself, like, where's the camera? Like, in normal life, somebody randomly that you don't know, like, you look around, you're like, what is.

[Ken]

All the time? Whenever, like, some weird is happening, I'm always like, am I being set up there? Camera? I hear, like, a noise in my house at night. I'm like, yeah, someone's pranking me. No.

[Ben]

Pretty much everything weird that ever happens, I'm always like, I am the joke. And then as soon as. No offense, guys, but as soon as I realized that CJ Is also behind, not behind it, I'm like, oh, there's nothing. Because you two and Ken usually. Well, Ken can't keep it a secret, so I usually always find out before he ever tries to do anything.

[Mike]

I never actually go through with anything. The few things that I do, I don't have.

[Ben]

Honestly, you guys just aren't, like, big enough dicks to, like, pick up and. And do a prank on one of us.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's what I mean. Like, I.

[Hudson]

The.

[Jimmy]

The thoughts.

[Mike]

The thoughts enter my head, say that.

[Ken]

They'Re not big enough dicks. Well, I mean, does that make me a dick for making funny little.

[Ben]

I guess I would say, in a way. We're constantly just trying to. With. With each other, and. And usually it's for the sake. Content of. It's for the content. Yeah, I get that. Better good. Yeah. But, like, they don't have, like, the mindset of, like. I think if you can admit both.

[Mike]

Things, if it's for the better, it's. Yes. It's still maybe a mean prank, and it's for the better good.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I like the better good.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah. I don't know.

[Ryan]

I think it's greater good.

[Ken]

The greater.

[Mike]

The greater good.

[Ryan]

But I like better good. When we flew into Jackson Hole, when we went snowmobiling a couple weeks ago, the people who wrote Yellowstone nailed it. I literally looked around and I thought I was in the show because there's people walking around. First of all, you get off the plane, and it's amazing. The mountains and the nice airport. Nicest airport I've ever been.

[Ben]

Mimosas.

[Ryan]

You walk in, you walk in, and in the baggage claim, there's free mimosas.

[Ben]

That's crazy.

[Evan]

Well, not even at a bar.

[Ryan]

No, they're just. They're on a little stand, like a lemonade stand, but for free mimosas.

[Ben]

That was the best way to put it. It was a lemonade stand for free mimosas. It was the Crazy. No, they didn't check a single idiot.

[Ken]

That's awesome.

[Ben]

Yeah, it was. It was wild, dude.

[Ryan]

There was this guy on the plane who looked exactly like the one guy that tried to shut him down. The first big businessman. I'll pop up his picture here, but he's got this flowing hair. He's wearing, like a. A Montclear or whatever that brand is. Really fancy. Skiing brand. I don't even know. Puffer jacket, like, kind of adventure pants. And he's walking around.

[Ben]

Is that the one that had the cowboy hat? Yeah.

[Ryan]

And he walks out of first class and he's throwing his hair back. First of all, took a like, nine times. I don't even. There's something going on with him for sure.

[Ben]

But I was keeping an eye on this guy.

[Ryan]

I was right in front of the bathroom, and I was like, dude, what is this guy doing? But every time he'd walk up, he'd pick a new person like, what you doing? Hey. First time in Jackson, like, he was going back home to his freaking ski mansion. And I was like, man, no wonder people that live out here hate these people. They were so, so hateable. There was a guy wearing a Shaw.

[Ben]

Well, like a.

[Ryan]

Like a poncho, but like, a little bit more westerny. And he was just wearing in the airport. I'm like, dude, you flew Delta first class to Jackson Hole. You're gonna go skiing. Why do you look like you just are traversing the Oregon Trail on a horse? On a horse? Yeah.

[Ben]

When. When me and Ryan got there, they lost our baggage. So we're, like, going up and we're dealing with the people at Delta, and. And as we're standing there, there was a lady next to us that was also dealing with lost baggage from our flight. And the guy was, like, standing there, and you could tell he was getting a little hotter and hotter because then he started raising his voice. And then that's when me and started watching what was going on. The guy goes, huh? I have no clothes to wear and I'm here for five days. And the lady's like, I don't know what to tell you. And he goes, I'm from la. I don't have clothes for this anyways. And the lady's like, what's the problem then? And he's like, don't raise your voice at me. She's like, don't raise your voice at me.

[Ryan]

They're trying.

[Mike]

Me and Ryan are, like, down the.

[Ben]

Is going on. Like, these two are just yelling at each other right now. This guy just Kept bringing up that he's from California. It was the weirdest shit ever.

[Ryan]

It was like. And then not a flex right now.

[Ben]

Yeah, not a flex. And I was like, man, this is why all these Californians moving here just get such a bad rep is because obviously there's probably people that hate California and then there's people that are in love with California but want to move out of California, but bring all their politics and problems to the mountain towns. But it was interesting. We were talking to Blaine, who is one of. Well, yeah, yeah. Well, for some reason I thought you were cj. First I blacked out there. I looked over like you weren't with on the trip. You know Blaine and Jay. You know Blaine. No, but Blaine is like a full on cowboy rancher. And he was like, yeah, dude, like it's pretty much exactly how it is in the show is like all these ranch hands, you know, like we're all kind of. We're rough around the edges, real cowboys. Right? So then when we go into towns, especially Jackson, he's like, all these pretend cowboys, like will be pretend cowboys and real cowboys do not fuck with that one bit. And he was like, yeah, pretty much every time we go out we get into bar fights and everything like that. And I was like, damn, that's pretty cool to hear. Like, it's pretty cool. That's like actually how it is.

[Ryan]

I would not wear a cowboy hat in Jackson. No, I would not. I feel like it'd just be insulting.

[Evan]

I wouldn't wear a cowboy hat any.

[Ryan]

Well, okay, true. And I don't wear.

[Mike]

I effed up then. I did that.

[Ben]

Did you remember when I wore it.

[Mike]

Tucked in jeans into my cowboy boots? I remember a big ass American flag button up and then a cowboy hat and then handlebars. Oh, out downtown Jackson.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I seem to fit in pretty well with that whole look.

[Ben]

But maybe Jackson is almost more phony cowboys. It was like the outside.

[Ryan]

Oh, for sure.

[Ben]

Outskirts.

[Ryan]

Like, like drags in the places that we've went.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Pop up that video that I sent you. Man, this is. This is tough. Oh yeah. This is so tough. All right. I'm like coming into us wed. I want to do this party.

[Ryan]

I love how he just picks her right up. The guy that went famous on barstool for his wedding, the motorcycle crash.

[Ken]

He wasn't the guy that crashed.

[Ben]

It wasn't the guy getting married, was it?

[Ryan]

No, it was like his. His friend at the wedding that was pulling in. So he actually reached out to us. He said he's had the podcast sent to him a million times.

[Ken]

His watch. We should have had him on.

[Ryan]

I know. So he, I asked him to just kind of text me the story over Instagram. His first message to me was, lol. That was my wedding in the Harley that looped out. The property owner and myself got arrested that night. Everyone is good and the wife loved every minute of it. I can send you pics and behind the scenes content if you'd like. And I was like, you got arrested at your own wedding?

[Ken]

That's freaking crazy. That was a party. That's a party.

[Ben]

To think that the loop out was like the second most legendary thing to happen that night.

[Ken]

There's a quite the story and quite a bit to talk about about that wedding.

[Ben]

So this is a redneck wedding.

[Ryan]

Yeah, exactly.

[Ken]

The bride wasn't upset.

[Ryan]

No.

[Ken]

That's a wedding people be pissed to miss. Straight up. Most of the time you're like, I don't really care. I don't even really want to go. But that one, you'd be like, God.

[Ben]

Damn, I missed that.

[Ryan]

So he said he had about 26k into the wedding after lawyer fees.

[Ken]

What was the lawyer problems for?

[Ryan]

And then he also says it would not change a single thing if I had to do it over. We are wild group. Wild and reckless group of friends that like to have fun. So the lawyer came in because we got arrested for loud noise at about 2am and the cops came out for a third time and they were arresting his good buddy who was the property owner. And he said he's not letting his buddy go to jail on his wedding day without him.

[Ben]

Oh, damn. What a guy.

[Ryan]

He's like, I'm going down with the ship. So he said I had to go into and my drunk dumbass got taken to jail. We went Saturday night and got out on Tuesday night.

[Ken]

Holy.

[Ben]

Yeah, yo.

[Ken]

His wife.

[Ben]

Yeah, that was a honeymoon. His wife came and visited him. Hand up on the glass, honey, this is perfect.

[Ryan]

So he said the fire department had to come out earlier in the night because there was a huge fire that was so big, people like thought the barn or a field was burning down. So their sound system had eight 18 inch subwoofers that was heard through the neighborhood. And the Barn was on 27 acres. He says, I'll send you some vids. Love your show.

[Ben]

Holy.

[Ken]

Well, he. He listens to it or he just got it.

[Ryan]

I think he got it sent to us to it, but he heard of the channel and stuff.

[Ben]

Wow, that's awesome.

[Evan]

Hey, I kind of just want to go Party with this guy?

[Ken]

Yeah, these guys know how to party.

[Ben]

Dude, weed's legal.

[Mike]

Canada.

[Ben]

How long is that? Oh, weed's been legal since I've been smoking it.

[Ken]

So the whole 2013?

[Ryan]

What?

[Mike]

In Canada?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Weed's been legal that long? Well, for me it has been.

[Ken]

I just walk around with it everywhere.

[Ben]

Hold up, is that how that works?

[Mike]

I like that. I just love that. Yeah, it's been legal for me since I've been smoking.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Hell yeah.

[Ben]

Weed's been legal since Trudeau came and.

[Ken]

Burnt this country down.

[Evan]

Wait a minute.

[Ben]

That's gotta be one good thing.

[Evan]

One good thing.

[Ben]

Almost don't want to say it. One good thing that he's done.

[Grandpa Ron]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Weed legal.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

That's what it. Well, like, you smoke weed over drinking. I'm on and off of weed. I took like.

[Ken]

I didn't smoke weed for a whole year last year, just for my concussions. But, like, after I finally was concussion.

[Ben]

Like, symptom free, I started smoking again, so.

[Ryan]

So Canada got some pretty exciting news. There is a new self driving service. And don't worry. Yes, it is an electric video. Excuse me. An electric vehicle. It's called Sex L A and it is a self driving car.

[Jimmy]

Sex.

[Ken]

Hold on. What?

[Ryan]

Yes, it is a self driving sex positive. Robo taxi.

[Ben]

Oh, Ken's. Ken's favorite thing.

[Nikki]

That's a lot of words. Service.

[Ryan]

More accurately, a way for people to service themselves while using an automatise autonomous pod service.

[Ken]

Do we not have a camera again? Shoot. Oh, my gosh.

[Evan]

You have to service yourself in the sex car.

[Ryan]

It does say to enjoy a revolutionary masturbatory. Masturbatory experience. God, I can't read today. Sorry.

[Ben]

So hold on. You can just jerk off while it drives you.

[Evan]

Can you bring a friend?

[Ken]

That seems a little weird. You're driving around town jerking off.

[Evan]

Seems a little.

[Ken]

I'm into some weird shit, but that's just weird, dude.

[Ben]

There's got to be some law about not being able to do that, about.

[Ryan]

Jerking off as you're driving around. It's got tinted windows.

[Ben]

Comes with tinted windows.

[Ken]

What happens? You get pulled over for a window tin, you got your dick in your hand, your pants are in the back. You're like.

[Ryan]

Are you getting an accident incident?

[Ken]

Geez Louise, no.

[Ryan]

Pants are on your ankles. Is this all lotioned up?

[Ben]

Is this real?

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's a Motor Trend article.

[Ben]

Oh, okay. So it's looking.

[Evan]

That's a car.

[Ryan]

No, that's not the actual car.

[Nikki]

It's.

[Ryan]

It's down here.

[Ben]

Got a Long car right ahead of you.

[Nikki]

You know, I don't want to throw anyone's idea, like, say anyone's idea is a bad idea, but that's just a bad, dumb idea.

[Ken]

Really not into that.

[Nikki]

No, that. That's just a dumb idea.

[Ken]

Which part?

[Nikki]

The whole start to finish.

[Evan]

I mean, I think a sex car is a great idea, but a masturbation car?

[Nikki]

Sexcar, fine. A masturbation car. That's just dumb.

[Ryan]

I don't know.

[Ben]

I've definitely heard worse ideas.

[Ryan]

You ever jerk Ken while you're. While Elon's driving you home? No, but you totally.

[Ken]

Probably. Yeah, the best time to do it. You're in safe hands.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you're in safe hands. You've got the big screen right here.

[Ken]

Two different safe hands.

[Evan]

How are the roads tonight?

[Ryan]

One thing I did learn in Vegas, though, is when I'm really hungover, my internal dialogue turns off. Like, you guys have that. Where you, like, talk to yourself in your brain as you're walking around? You guys all have that? Yeah, I think I saw an Instagram thing that, like, 40% of people don't have an internal dialogue, which is really weird.

[Mike]

Seems insane.

[Hudson]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[Ryan]

What do those people do?

[Ben]

You're just saying, like, your brain works.

[Ken]

Not thinking.

[Evan]

No, in autopilot mode.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but, like, when you're walking around, are you having conversations with yourself in your head?

[Ben]

Just thinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

That's why it's hard to, like. It is hard for me to even believe that. Cuz, like, you have a point there. It is just thinking, but it's not.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you're, like, talking to yourself. Or like, all right, maybe you are sitting in the skid steer, and you're like, all right, I got to move this over there. And then you're thinking about, like, okay, well, if I do it this way, it'll work faster. Like, you're trying to form a plan. You're right. It's thinking, but you're talking with yourself. It's the talking about yourself. Not just like, I go there, but.

[Mike]

Yeah, when you're. Wait. When you're hung over, it is just.

[Ryan]

I go there, it turns off.

[Mike]

I eat this. I. I lay down.

[Ryan]

I. I was walking around, and I realized that I hadn't talked to myself in hours. And it was so peaceful. I was like, man, I'm better when I'm not talking to myself. You just, like, are just trying to survive, dude. And there's something. Something beautiful about that. So I think I'm gonna. Might try shutting off My internal dialogue.

[Ken]

It's got to be hungover more.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I don't know if I can do that. It sounds miserable. 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.

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

He lived 82 years of life.

[Mike]

Insane.

[Ryan]

Never even set eyes on a woman.

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

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

[Ken]

So was he jerking off gay then? Because you gotta have something.

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

You roll a good point.

[Hudson]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

If you're up there.

[Ken]

Did he die?

[Mike]

Yeah, I think he's.

[Ken]

And he never saw.

[Mike]

Never saw.

[Ben]

He never found out.

[Ryan]

Pretty tough.

[Ben]

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

[Mike]

Probably at least a couple, actually. Well, think. Yeah, he being a monk and not knowing what women are, you probably didn't have any problems.

[Ben]

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

[Mike]

That's kind of what I was wondering.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

Knew that he heard wise tales. Real stories. Yeah, but.

[Ryan]

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? I don't know.

[Ben]

I'm trying to. I'm trying to even wrap my head around what's going on. I thought it was funny that we were doing, like, this dry January, trying not to drink. Well, I guess I wasn't. But a couple people in the group were like, we're doing dry January. And then right after we got done golfing, everyone was like, should we go downtown? I was like, go downtown to the bars? What do you mean?

[Ken]

No, let's.

[Ben]

Let's not do that. That sounds terrible for the people that are sober or, like, trying to be sober. And then I was like, well, what if we just Go to the arcade. We go downstairs, go to the arcade. I swear, everyone that was like doing dry January was like, this sucks. She's like, what else do you do when you're sober? Feel like this is just one of.

[Ryan]

Those things, like, what else is there to do?

[Mike]

I'm a big advocate.

[Ben]

What else is there to do? Good. You can't go to the arcade.

[Ken]

There's nothing.

[Ryan]

So I. I failed Dry January. I didn't start until after Idaho, so I started on like the 15th, and then I made it, which was Wednesday.

[Ben]

I thought you were going to say the fifth or something.

[Ryan]

I mean, it was the fifth, 18th. And then I. I was like, all right, drive January here on out. And I made it Wednesday, Thursday, and then I drank on Friday. But I don't blame myself.

[Evan]

That was a good couple days.

[Ben]

Your liver.

[Ryan]

Thanks to you and my lack of self control. I blame my surroundings.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

I don't take accountability.

[Ryan]

No, absolutely not. It's not my fault, of course, that I broke.

[Ben]

If.

[Ryan]

If I had been around better people that didn't take me out to a golfing drinking establishment and then take me to a drinking games environment and then tease me with the carrot of going downtown.

[Ben]

Hold up, Ken. Are you doing dry January?

[Nikki]

Hey, Ryan. I've been doing. I've been doing dry January since the 7th when I got home from Florida, and I went through all the same places, and I still haven't had a drink since.

[Mike]

I. I impressed.

[Ken]

That might be the longest Ken's bag since he turned 21.

[Nikki]

It is. I think it is.

[Evan]

How do you feel, Ken? Do you feel good?

[Nikki]

Extremely bored.

[Ken]

Ken was one of the people in.

[Ben]

The arcade like this.

[Evan]

Have you considered.

[Nikki]

Well, then I went to the. They had a. They had a blackjack table there. And I go play blackjack. I'm like, God, I just need a drink. I just need a beer or a vodka Red Bull or something would make it so much more entertaining.

[Ben]

Look at the look in his eyes right now. He's talking about alcohol getting all passionate.

[Ryan]

See, I could quit anytime I wanted to. I just wanted it. I didn't need.

[Mike]

That's what I was gonna say is that I'm not about, like, all right, I need to take two weeks off mostly because I know I can't do it. But pause for laugh, Pause for laugh.

[Evan]

Amen.

[Mike]

But if it happens, it happens.

[Ben]

I have always respected. Did about you.

[Ryan]

Is the self awareness.

[Ben]

The self awareness is just.

[Ryan]

It's.

[Ben]

It's off the charts, man. So it's like, I'm so proud of you for that. What it.

[Mike]

What is the point of calling it Dry January if you started the 15th or you started the 7th? What?

[Evan]

Really?

[Mike]

I mean, I. It's easier to explain to people. Oh, why aren't you drinking? Yeah, Dry January. It's easy to explain, but I'm not doing.

[Ben]

Doing Dry January is exactly like having. Having a heated jacket or going to CrossFit.

[Mike]

It is.

[Ben]

You can't do Dry January and not telling everyone you're doing Dry January.

[Mike]

What about accurate?

[Evan]

No Nut November? Did that pan out for you guys?

[Mike]

Wait, pan out? Who does that?

[Evan]

I sure didn't.

[Mike]

Yeah. No, that is one of those things. I'm like, legit. Like, who does that?

[Ben]

Do people still do that?

[Evan]

I think the same thing about Dry January. They're both.

[Mike]

Like, I. I think I'm. I like, no, shave November. Like, do with that what you will. It can be your beard. Could you be your whole body? Like, that's fun. That's funny. It changes your look. Doesn't hurt anybody, but. No, not November. That hurts people.

[Ken]

Me too.

[Ben]

I was going to make a joke, but it just didn't feel right.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's fine.

[Ben]

I'm not drunk.

[Hudson]

I just pretend to be.

[Ken]

No, you're fucking drunk.

[Ryan]

I've been searching a ton for our Subaru rebuild. We're rebuilding our rally Subaru, so I've been looking at, you know, our suspension bumpers, all that stuff. I don't know how much we want to give away, but I came across this video that happened in 2017 when they released the new STI. And I have no idea how I never saw this, because for Subaru marketing, like, this is the most intense video I've ever seen for a car company. So they took this Subaru to. I think it's like the oldest bobsled run in the world or something like that.

[Mike]

Studded tires.

[Ben]

Oh, wow.

[Mike]

Oh, they're very narrow.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we need tires like that for the ice. But look how western he gets on this thing, dude. Like, it actually looks intense.

[Ben]

Holy.

[Ken]

So narrow. Oh, he's hitting snowbanks.

[Evan]

Everything.

[Mike]

Dude, those walls he's riding on, is this so. Not.

[Ken]

That thing's gotta be so.

[Grandpa Ron]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Compared to the size of a bro, this is like a death wish.

[Ryan]

Look at this one, dude. This is the last corner, which is the biggest one.

[Ben]

Oh, no.

[Ken]

It'S dented bad.

[Mike]

Yeah, dude, he went for it.

[Ryan]

He freaking, like, hit his windshield on the side of the wall.

[Mike]

Dang.

[Ben]

That was sick, dude. We should do that.

[Ryan]

I was like, how have I never seen this Piece of Subaru marketing. This is great.

[Ben]

That was sick.

[Ken]

Probably because you weren't watching TV at the time.

[Ben]

Dang, dude, I've never thought of bobsledding. We should go bobsledding.

[Ryan]

We're trying to not burn Corant down.

[Ken]

I don't know if you could say you're trying.

[Nikki]

You're working on it, you're doing your best.

[Ryan]

I would say you're darn near trying to burn Corant down.

[Ken]

He's just so pumped that you're.

[Ben]

Oh, I know, I know.

[Ken]

I'm taking all the blame for everything I.

[Evan]

From Colorado to cormorant and everything in between. Right?

[Hudson]

Yeah.

[Ken]

It's all just going to hell. Like, how do we keep it under control? Now that's.

[Evan]

There is no control.

[Ken]

He was walking, he was like, are you sure we're not brothers and something.

[Ben]

I was like, there might be a.

[Ryan]

Bloodline down there, man.

[Evan]

I. I think we got some of the same trousers.

[Nikki]

I mean, jeans.

[Ken]

Yeah. No, we're never trying not to burn it down.

[Ryan]

You two have been a little dynamic duo, like, because you're always sitting next to each other in restaurants. And I have been cackling, laughing at you too, because you two bust each other up and one of you spits out your food, your drink, whatever.

[Ken]

I'm. I'm sensing a little bit of jealousy out of Mike over there. Oh, no. Mike's all about, like, Gavin came to town and now. Yeah, and now. And now it's like he's just been chewed off to the side.

[Ben]

And. And.

[Ken]

And Evan's like, hey, Gav, come on, let's.

[Ben]

Let's go.

[Ken]

Let's go get lunch, just me and you.

[Evan]

Hey, we're just lucky that you guys already had bunk beds in my room, because me and Gav were gonna build some last night.

[Mike]

Were you?

[Ken]

Yeah, we got the guacamole and the nachos going.

[Ben]

I was like, oh, we need bunk beds.

[Ken]

Oh, wait, we got bunk beds. Did you sleep on the bunk beds last night? Just because, like, you know, we got that.

[Ben]

Well, yeah. No.

[Ken]

Yeah, we hit the sauna and stuff and then. Yep.

[Ryan]

Why are you still sleeping in a bunk bed?

[Ken]

But we've offered. We've offered to get you set up with a friggin queen size. Get you a king size bed in that room.

[Evan]

So. I mean, most bunk beds, people think is just two twin beds maybe, or something small. This is like a bigger bed. I'm not sure what the next size or 2. A full. Maybe even a queen.

[Ryan]

I don't think it's A queen.

[Ben]

It might be close.

[Ken]

It's a close queen.

[Ryan]

Close queen.

[Mike]

Hey.

[Evan]

Well, I know I'm a short fella, but I can lay sideways damn near on it.

[Ken]

Really?

[Evan]

Yeah, so it's pretty good.

[Ken]

Okay.

[Evan]

The top acts as a shelf. Like, the top bed I. I throw up there.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Nikki]

Your hat.

[Evan]

My. My hats. My. My garbage Clothes. No, not much.

[Mike]

Trash.

[Ken]

Hot Pockets.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah. Leave snacks, you know, goldfish, empty tea cans. And then also, I've. I've found out. I didn't know this, that when you're using the lower level bed, that the upper level bed is a great point for.

[Ken]

For what?

[Evan]

Angling the position of your body when. When you're aggressively napping with your significant other.

[Ben]

You know, I feel like there would be multiple that.

[Ken]

Okay, that makes sense.

[Ryan]

Keep killing the bunk bed life.

[Ken]

You might have had a cheat coat, you know?

[Ben]

Like, I feel like it would get.

[Ken]

In the way a lot, though, because you couldn't even go all the.

[Evan]

Like, I'm five foot five.

[Ben]

Come on.

[Ken]

I'd be like, constantly. Yeah, I suppose Maybe it works for you, huh?

[Evan]

Yeah, no, it works. Really?

[Ken]

All positives?

[Evan]

Yeah. No negatives.

[Ben]

Really?

[Ken]

You come over, like, next time you come over to the house, you look in my room. It's just a bunk bed.

[Ryan]

Dude.

[Evan]

That'd be like, my girlfriend wanted me to buy a sex swing. I purchased a bunk bed.

[Ben]

Be kind of nice.

[Ken]

Like, you get kind of uncomfortable sleeping next to each other. Just one goes up top. You're still in the same room.

[Evan]

That's one step away from two bedrooms.

[Ken]

Yeah, but it's still not two bedrooms.

[Evan]

Slightly better.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ryan]

It is funny walking into Ev's room, and he's just got his bunk bed in there.

[Evan]

Ah, it keeps me young.

[Ken]

There is something keeping you young, Ev, that's for sure.

[Evan]

I don't know what it is.

[Ken]

I think we all need a little bit of what Evan and Gavin have.

[Ryan]

I agree.

[Ken]

Whatever you guys got going, man, honestly.

[Evan]

I don't think you guys can handle it.

[Ben]

I don't think we could either. Very few can. It's not for everybody.

[Ken]

There's a jam up left and right all the time, but these two are more ups and downs. Excuse me.

[Ben]

I'm being a de. Oh, my gosh.

[Evan]

Bag in my mouth, man.

[Ben]

We got Dumb and Dumber here.

[Ken]

They're actually the two smartest.

[Evan]

Mike is barefoot. He kind of looks like a barbarian.

[Ken]

So this is why you guys have to sleep in so long. Oh, this is what you're doing at night?

[Nikki]

Yeah, I love the snorkel, dude.

[Mike]

And it's so heavy. This four wheeler weighs like 2, 000 pounds. Four wheel drift, he says. That's all he says. And I'm like, bro, you're.

[Ben]

You had to have thought that this was a bad idea.

[Evan]

That thought never crossed my mind at that point in time, believe it or not.

[Ben]

Concerning. That is so concerning.

[Evan]

Well, I mean, nothing got broken.

[Ken]

Alright, so the first burnout, a weight flies off. I see. I think I flew in the right direction.

[Evan]

I think I thought like, oh, the loose weight already came off, so now we're good. I don't know. A Ziploc bag of some sort.

[Ken]

Switch views, switch views. Switch views.

[Mike]

No, don't do it yet.

[Evan]

The way it's gonna come out. Off into the shipping container. Smashes.

[Ken]

Oh, man.

[Mike]

Dude. So like that weight could have hit either of the cars.

[Evan]

Could hit anything.

[Ben]

Could hit anything, man. Have you really just live your life one bad decision at a time?

[Evan]

Sometimes it pays to be lucky.

[Ken]

You were literally doing a burnout within a foot of my side of my gtr. Throwing rocks all over it.

[Ben]

Go to the c. Other camera.

[Evan]

How the floor was clean.

[Ben]

Yeah, I'm sure it was. That's why the zor ball got popped.

[Evan]

I do remember the next morning, Ben goes, why is there black dust all over my white car, man? What?

[Ben]

But basically, I just couldn't believe that this is happening.

[Ken]

Is.

[Ben]

Is extremely bizarre, is it not? Yeah, no, I. Yeah, back on.

[Ken]

He's cheesing.

[Evan]

I don't even have pants on, dude.

[Ben]

We were sitting in Florida with Ryan's dad, Randy, and I don't know how it got brought up, but he was like, yeah, you know, I don't mind. I love having. I love having Mike and. And Alondra around. Yeah. Sometimes I'll come home and Mike will be parked in my garage.

[Mike]

Stuff that's very rare, I guess. Why? I don't know.

[Ben]

You imagine coming home after a long day.

[Mike]

And by the way, I don't make.

[Ken]

Your daughter's boyfriend is parking your stall.

[Ben]

First of all, you're like, what is going. Opens up? And you see Mike's Bronco sitting in your garage stall. His garage, your house.

[Mike]

His garage door is made of windows. He doesn't need to open it up to find out.

[Ben]

All right, Mike.

[Hudson]

All right.

[Ryan]

Well, he pulls in and he sees it.

[Ben]

He pulled up the driveway. He's pulling up the driveway.

[Mike]

I've never made an example executive decision to be like, this is. I'm parking in here today.

[Ben]

Mike's up his room to his door, and Mike's sleeping.

[Ken]

Mike. Mike's sleeping in his bed or on his toilet in his room.

[Mike]

Disrespectful. I don't know.

[Ben]

I feel like it's.

[Ken]

I feel like you already crossed the line a little bit parking in his spot. Yeah, I guess it's a good thing Randy's nice, because, honestly, I think if I came home and let's hypothetically say I had a daughter and her boyfriend parked in my garage spot and he was already over, I'd be like. I would literally hop in and, like, move it or I don't even know what I'd do.

[Ben]

It would just be like, I think.

[Mike]

If you were that dad and. Or Randy gave me, like, a talking to, I'd be like, yeah, like, my bad. I, you know, didn't think you'd be home.

[Ken]

Well, the last thing you'd expect to have to talk to your daughter's boyfriend. Hey, you got us quit. Quit parking.

[Mike]

I mean, dude, when he. He's like, buddy, he's gone more than he. He's probably there 40% of his time, so keep that in mind. Let's be realistic here. Still, his garage still is garage doll. That I was told by someone who lived there that he would not be there.

[Ken]

Oh, I know. It's just funny.

[Ben]

But, yeah, at the end of the.

[Mike]

Day, I. I feel it. Yeah. If he's just like, come on, dude. When it's my garage doll, what's gonna.

[Ken]

Happen to Mike now when he's older? Ken, would you be interested in doing that going on the bachelor?

[Nikki]

No.

[Ken]

What if we did our own version of the bachelor? We got just, let's say 15 girls, and we do a speed dating. Like, it's like a quick little, like. I'm not talking. Clapping, obviously. Like, that's kind of the noise I made with my mouth there. But I'm talking just, like, you know, maybe like a one minute, like, boom, boom, boom. Like, conversations, and then at the end of it, you give one girl a rose and. And go on a nice date.

[Nikki]

I could see it could be. Give me a good little bit.

[Ken]

That'd be a great bit. And you might find the love of your life.

[Ryan]

Yeah. We'll ask your little girl from Fargo. She wants to be on.

[Ken]

Instead of a rose, she gets your vape.

[Ben]

Evan goes, instead of a rose, she hits his vape, gets it. Oh, she gets the vape.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Oh, Ken must really like her to give away the vape.

[Mike]

Cherish this forever. Well, it's only 2,000 puffs. Just something real exciting. So I went to high school at a place called Holly High School. It wasn't anything to write home about. I enjoyed it. But they finally did something cool.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Mike]

Well, they painted a mirror of you in my eyes. They did something cool? No, they. You guys remember the dirt bike through the school prank? Dude, it's been done a handful of times, but do you remember just the one?

[Ryan]

Yeah, the one, the legendary one.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I looked that one up, of course, had to rewatch it after I saw this, and I was like, oh, yeah, this is just. This is the only one I remember. And then of course I'm looking on YouTube, there's like 20 other ones. So it's been done many other times. But I just got sent a nice video from my high school and they did that as their senior prank. And their. They're facing all the charges. You'd think they'd face charges.

[Ken]

They rode a scooter.

[Mike]

Well, no, I gave the buddy on the scooter some credit. We got a two stroke and he's revving it.

[Ken]

Oh, he did it.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, that's like those. You know, that's where I went to high school.

[Ben]

And I was so proud.

[Mike]

The two stroke, homie. I was so proud.

[Ken]

Holy freak. How they not get stopped?

[Mike]

Dude, I don't know.

[Ben]

Well, man, we could have a steady.

[Ryan]

Cam on this guy.

[Mike]

Yeah, somebody could have been on a one wheel following him or something. But yeah, the scooter was. You know, the scooter was that.

[Ben]

But yo, there's a GoPro footage of. Of the actual rider and. And he comes out of the school.

[Mike]

Wait, you talking about Holly?

[Ben]

Yeah, this guy. And he comes out of the school and he like grabs second and he almost hits a car.

[Ken]

Holy shit.

[Ben]

But then I guess they. They loaded up and they got caught in the parking lot.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

So what happened? They got pretty jammed up.

[Mike]

Like, basically, you know, like they didn't do anything.

[Ken]

That.

[Mike]

That's what's interesting. In a situation like this, the adults, you know, the principal, the vice principal, whoever else is in charge, they're like, we have to do something.

[Ken]

Right. Because they could have to discipline.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I mean, so you can't just ride a dirt bike through the school.

[Mike]

I agree.

[Ken]

He wasn't doing wheelies or for the record, reckless.

[Mike]

For the record. I agree. So they got iss, which is in school suspension. Okay, I'll tag that a couple times. Not. Not crazy. No, you just sit in.

[Ken]

Oh, they didn't get the cops involved. That's good then.

[Ben]

That's what I. I'd say that's a fair.

[Mike]

They threatened to, but then I was like, that's. Yeah, they threatened to. They're like, wow, we got to get the cops involved. And then it kind of pushed away from that, like it should.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And they got in trouble, you know, walk.

[Ben]

He couldn't walk.

[Jimmy]

That's right.

[Ben]

Graduation, and then anyone else involved like that, like, holding the doors, couldn't walk.

[Ryan]

I think that's kind of messed up, because that doesn't punish the kid. It only punished the parents. The parents are the only person that cares about the kid walking. I never gave a shit, but my parents wanted to see me walk. So that's a little messed up because I know that's a standard punishment, but what do you do?

[Ben]

So that was for the senior prank. That's why.

[Mike]

Yeah, I get. Yeah, that's what they called it.

[Ken]

We drove a golf cart that good. It's not really a prank. That's just, like, doing a stunt to me.

[Mike]

Either way, proud of them. Yeah, it is funny calling it like, that's our senior prank.

[Ben]

Let's just talk about what. What happened today.

[Ryan]

Let's just get.

[Ben]

Let's just get it out of the way.

[Hudson]

Out of the room.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah. So. So we've been riding for the past three days, and it's been really insane. Like, deep snow, insane mountains, steepness. Pretty much the gnarliest of the gnarly you can get into on snowmobiles, right? So we're in the. Basically the most flat, level parking lot. The easiest thing we have done the entire trip, right. I go, hey, Brett, can I borrow your snowmobile to take a thumbnail picture? And he goes, yeah, buddy, of course. Just be careful, though. The throttle has a little bit of ice in it, so it might stick. So just in case, wear this tether around your wrist. And I was like, okay.

[Evan]

All right.

[Ben]

Well, it should be fine. I'm literally just pulling it, like, three feet on flatness. I shouldn't have much to worry about here, right? And so, sure enough, I hop on it and pulling it around, and I'm like, oh, shit. I can feel a little bit of stickiness in this throttle, right? And then there was, like, a little mound. Cause I was trying to get up next to this measuring stick. Cause I thought it'd look good in the thumbnail, right? And to get up this mound, I give it a little bit more pepper. Throttle sticks wide open. Wide open. On an 850 boost, the thing pretty much rockets out from underneath me. It plows over this like landmark of a snow depth meter.

[Mike]

Right.

[Hudson]

Any snowmobiler in North America has looked at that camera and said like how much snow is in Revelstoke.

[Ben]

Yeah. Plows through this, this six inch tree that the, that the measuring stick is bolted to.

[Ryan]

Keep in mind, this ring is 15ft tall and it's buried about like 8ft, right?

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Breaks the tree clean in half. And then the sled. Luckily I had the tether on my wrist. The sled then dies after. But it would. It had gotten so much speed.

[Mike]

No, it was fully airborne.

[Ben]

It was fully airborne.

[Hudson]

I have like the perfect mental image.

[Mike]

In my brain right now.

[Hudson]

Like I'm waiting for Elon to just like pull my SD card so we could put that into the computer.

[Ken]

Dude.

[Ben]

So seriously, we need, honestly. Yeah, we need that. We need that. So yeah, we have Mike. Mike is over there taking photos. Cuz we weren't planning on.

[Mike]

Big bummer. I'm pointing, I'm pointing a camera right at you as this all happened. Pointing it at the scene with a wide angle, it would have got it all. But I'm in photo.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Big bummer. Yeah. My jaw has never been lower on the floor than seeing you do that today.

[Ben]

So I do that. The snowmobile rockets out, hits the, hits the pool, snaps it in half. I'm then laying on the ground in sheer disbelief of what just happened. And the first thing I do is like check my body. Like I'm good. I didn't get hit by the tree coming down or hit a tree in the process. Luckily I kind of bailed early.

[Mike]

Dude, you were white as a ghost.

[Ben]

Oh yeah. I was like extremely rattled. Casper 1 I was, I was worried about Brett's sled. It's like a thirty thousand dollar snowmobile.

[Ken]

And.

[Ben]

And I just launched it into a.

[Ryan]

Specifically built and also.

[Ben]

What?

[Ryan]

Brand new this week?

[Hudson]

Yeah, I mean it's like not even out of break in mode yet.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Hudson]

I'm still continually putting parts on it.

[Ben]

Which we put on a new bumper last night, which is good timing. But I'm like this the snowmobile. And then I'm like oh my God, what the did I just hit? I'm like looking over and I see two pieces of yellow laying in. I'm like, oh, I just plowed through that meter stick. And then I look up and there's like 40 people in the parking lot.

[Mike]

There's people like staring, piling out of the cabin.

[Ben]

Yeah. Then people start coming out of this cabin. So I guess to give a little reference, this Cabin in British Columbia is like one of the most legendary spots.

[Ryan]

To go to Boulder Cabin.

[Ben]

Like, everyone knows what the Boulder Cabin is if they've ridden in the area. Or like you said, checked the webcam, because there's a webcam on top of the cabin that points at this metering stick that is live 24 hours a day. So at any point you can check, hey, did they get snow? I mean, look at the metering stick. Boom.

[Hudson]

Hey, did Ben hit.

[Ben]

Why is it. Why is the metering stick all of a sudden 4ft smaller? Did we get 4ft of snow or what happened? So I'm just figuring out what happened. I'm like, oh, my God, this is insane, right? And. And I'm like, mike, turn that camera on, bro. Because Mike was just taking pictures. I was like, record, record. And Mike turns it on. I'm like, trying to figure out, like, still what's going on. Turkey comes up and he's like, you good? My slide, you good. And I'm like, I'm like looking around and then pretty soon I just see a block, swarm, block of people moving in. And nobody was like, smiling.

[Hudson]

There was a guy that was like, huh, Nice move, guys. Idiots. And I looked at him and I was like, pardon? Like my $30,000 snowmobile just ghost road into that thing. Like, you think that this was real? There would be cameras rolling everywhere. And for one, am I gonna loan you my brand new Polaris boost to just go kamikaze it through a six inch tree?

[Ben]

Like.

[Ryan]

All of them.

[Hudson]

And so I, like, looked at this guy and I was like, do you not realize the, like, severity of the situation here? Well, man, like, somebody's got to come up here and fix this thing. I was like, we got it. I have to go over there and.

[Mike]

Make sure my buddy's alive.

[Hudson]

Like, it looks like all of the blood left his face and went to.

[Ben]

His feet, like, laying on the ground.

[Hudson]

And so that guy was just like, he was so buttered because, I mean, jokingly so, like, he was probably going to wonder how much snow we got tonight because it's snowing right now. So he's like, he's going to be like, so put off by the fact that the stick is like four feet lower now.

[Ryan]

Dude, people are going to look at the camera and go, holy, there's 13ft of snow.

[Mike]

That's the best part is everyone that was outside was like, hyped on it. Whatever, you know, they. No, I mean, like, most of them that came up were like, that was crazy. And then everyone that Went into the cabin, were like, they didn't want to see us. And then was like, I'm not going into the cabin. I don't want. And I was like, I think that's where the crowd looks a little upset. And so I went in there, and then some guy's like, yeah, Turcotte's always bringing all his amateur buddies around. Across. And I was like, in that situation, it's really funny because we're the amateur, but it was.

[Ben]

I thought it was also pretty funny that there was people, like, coming up, and they're like, hey, yeah, we're subs and everything. I was like, man, these people got to think that we're just so stupid.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Like.

[Ben]

Like, they gotta be like, damn, These kids are, like, always just doing this, huh? Like, everybody. It's not fake. They're not putting on a. On a show. Like, they are this stupid, you know?

[Jimmy]

I don't know.

[Ben]

I think it was. It was just probably came off, like, refreshing for them to know.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Hudson]

But you know what, dude? The video's gonna come out, and it's like, you guys were shredding, and where we were today was like, you did a sick drop. Evan did, like, a half a backflip off a drop. Spencer hit a drop on his snow.

[Ben]

Like, like, no, I did the day.

[Mike]

Guys are like, lack of skill.

[Hudson]

That was just like, man, some things are just meant to happen. And that was like, camera was off, unfortunately. But it's just like, it is what it is that people are talking about you, you know?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

You know they say no publicity is bad publicity.

[Ryan]

No, no.

[Hudson]

That publicity is better than no publicity.

[Ben]

I knew it's so like that.

[Ryan]

It feels good to be home, though.

[Ken]

I was over at the pub earlier today, and, like, people were like, hey, where you been?

[Mike]

Really?

[Ben]

Everyone was wondering. Well, because you went. You went sober, right? For.

[Ken]

Sober for a month. Because I was on the road. Yep.

[Jimmy]

Yep.

[Ben]

You quit drinking at home.

[Ken]

Exactly.

[Ben]

Because we were on the road.

[Ken]

Exactly.

[Ben]

C.J. keeps telling us, like, yeah, ever since I quit drinking. And I'm like, you didn't quit drinking. He's like, well, at home.

[Ryan]

But he left.

[Ken]

Cutting in half. Just damn near quitting.

[Ryan]

Backstory. Evan is, like, extremely easy to spook, almost to a point where even when you're not trying to spook him, you do. Like, you're just walking up to tell him something, he kind of jolts and goes, whoa. And Ben has found that weakness in him. And now our Snapchat story, at least once a week has a spooking Evan when he's working on something.

[Evan]

That was a good one, man.

[Ken]

That one.

[Evan]

I kind of saw you sneaking up. I just flinched. I think it's my cat like reflexes. Like if you something to happen, we're an attacker instead of a pranker. I'm like ready to go. But then when I see it's Ben, I just stop. So he thinks I flinch, but I'm really ready to attack.

[Ben]

Name a Taylor Swift album.

[Nikki]

1989.

[Ryan]

Nice, Red. Nice.

[Nikki]

Evermore.

[Ben]

Okay. Yep.

[Ryan]

Holy.

[Mike]

Okay. I don't even. I'm impressed already.

[Nikki]

Fearless.

[Ben]

Damn. Nice guy, Swifty. All right. Yeah. You'll be wrong there.

[Ken]

Honestly, you prove me I legit knew none of those. I would have not been able to.

[Ben]

Say any of them. That was pretty good.

[Nikki]

I'm dry past.

[Ben]

No, honestly.

[Ken]

Honestly.

[Ryan]

But the ladies aren't.

[Ben]

You earned it on that one.

[Ryan]

Speaking of football players and boats, do you guys remember the Vikings Love Boat?

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Scandal.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Ken]

No, I mean, I. I can't imagine myself.

[Ben]

But yeah, they just got.

[Ken]

I could imagine.

[Ben]

Pretty sure they do that.

[Ken]

Some people.

[Ryan]

They just got caught.

[Ben]

I love that.

[Evan]

That.

[Mike]

That stuff goes down every weekend on lake like that. They just got caught.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Let me see this.

[Ken]

Pull up the article or I want to see the story.

[Evan]

Classic little jam up.

[Ken]

That's freaking. Nothing that won't buff off.

[Ryan]

It was back in 2005 when football was football and there was no rough in the passer, you know, and stuff like that. That on October 6, 2005, an alleged sex party occurred on Lake Minnetonka.

[Ken]

Unbelievable.

[Ryan]

Dante C. But yeah, they apparently like rented two boats and they just flew in prostitutes from Atlanta and Florida.

[Ken]

Actual prostitutes or were they just girls? They're from Atlanta.

[Ryan]

They. It was said that they were sex workers. One guy estimated there was a hundred women there.

[Ben]

Wow.

[Evan]

Women for 17 football players.

[Ben]

Two boats.

[Evan]

Pretty decent numbers.

[Ryan]

It's a pretty good. Pretty good ratio.

[Ben]

An anonymous former player of the Minnesota Vikings claim that this is not the first time that such an incident has happened. The scandal has sometimes been referred to as the Love Boat scandal.

[Ryan]

Like, it's nice to see that the Vikings can at least catch the news every once in a while.

[Evan]

Catch a pass.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but they got in trouble for peeing in some lady's yard. Apparently. Yeah.

[Ken]

Wait, so how big of a boat you got to have?

[Ryan]

I believe they were on two boats.

[Ken]

And they didn't think anyone was going to notice. They're on the lake.

[Evan]

They're houseboats. Maybe they were behind closed doors.

[Ben]

Two house. Two houseboats were rented and some, but not all of the players perform sexual acts. How do they know that?

[Ryan]

In front of the crew members.

[Evan]

So they had rental.

[Ken]

Not all of them.

[Evan]

Not.

[Ken]

But some of them did. Some of them did. Not all of them, but some of them did.

[Ryan]

I don't know what's worse in that scenario, being the watcher or being the guy. I feel like it's being the watcher. Unless you went to a different part of the boat and removed yourself from the debauchery.

[Ken]

Well, it sounds like you're a worker, man. You can't go anywhere. You're trying to drive.

[Evan]

Imagine piling, piloting a boat with a hundred running around.

[Ben]

What are you doing?

[Evan]

Vikings put that on cruise control.

[Mike]

Evan wakes me up in the hallway shortly, not far from my room. But, like, why am I in the hallway, man? Come on.

[Nikki]

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

[Hudson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

Did you have a room key?

[Ben]

I was.

[Mike]

Yeah, I had a room key in my wall.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

Yeah, and then that's.

[Ken]

Just went to bed there, Trip, did you?

[Mike]

I'd like to imagine that I tripped.

[Ken]

And then just stayed down.

[Mike]

Yeah, no, that, like, that's the thing. It's like, why was I like, yeah, I can't do her going to bed. 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.

[Ben]

Oh, that's fair. But I don't think we can show the wieners. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

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

[Nikki]

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

[Ben]

You know, he's kind of like pitch dark in there.

[Nikki]

Lights are off, blinds are closed.

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

But not. Not just any way.

[Ken]

You were.

[Ben]

Yeah, you were, like, doing one of the hands. The old tripod.

[Mike]

Yeah, you're tripoding with my head.

[Ben]

The old. Tried.

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

It was A full.

[Ken]

No, but the capacity, the funny.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Ben]

The best.

[Nikki]

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

[Mike]

But no, it was. It was like, less friendly because Ken.

[Ben]

Goes, micah, what are you doing?

[Mike]

And then I kind of, like, look back at him with angry eyes. Not much anger in my voice, but.

[Ken]

You get mad at him for telling you to stop pissing on the floor?

[Ben]

Almost.

[Mike]

Ryan was taking care of it.

[Ben]

Why did I say that? Because you two are getting so close.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

I don't know.

[Ken]

Do you typically clean up?

[Mike]

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 it. 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.

[Ben]

Did you?

[Mike]

Yeah, I mean, like, put towels on it and, like, put water on it. That's about it.

[Ben]

Honestly, that's the least of Vegas hotels, I'm sure.

[Mike]

I realized 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.

[Ryan]

I got to give Ken credit. He was like, fricking Steven Spielberg.

[Ben]

Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

[Ryan]

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.

[Nikki]

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

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You should have had him all the way till he fell asleep.

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

It was amazing.

[Ben]

What'd you do, go back to sleep?

[Nikki]

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

[Ben]

What'd you do then, Mike?

[Mike]

I don't know.

[Ben]

Then I don't over on that.

[Nikki]

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

[Ryan]

Do you even remember doing that?

[Mike]

No.

[Ryan]

Like, you were on autopilot. Yeah. Damn.

[Ben]

I think it'd be really cool to show, like, your kid growing up, but I don't know if I'd want that on the Internet and on camera for those reasons. And I also know. I also know, like, the mentality that we get into to make YouTube videos, and I would not want to bring my family into that. Yeah, Like, I wouldn't.

[Ken]

There was a channel that got in trouble for that. I can't remember what it was, but it was like. It was like child abuse, basically, because they were pulling pranks and on them for videos, and it was just like. I. I don't exactly know too much, but it can get very nasty with, like, the children. YouTube.

[Mike]

But that's a good point. Like, the sometimes. Sometimes extremely stressful mindset that it takes to get ourselves moving and shape something up and putting your kids.

[Ken]

So it's like you say, like what I said, like.

[Ben]

Yeah, I mean, I just keep it.

[Ken]

Cut and dry, simple.

[Ben]

It is what it is.

[Ken]

And then next thing I know, it's like, views, views.

[Ben]

Start dipping. I'm like, we got to do something big. I got the family in front of me.

[Ken]

What.

[Ben]

What can we do to step this up?

[Ken]

All right, Jimmy, shoot some ideas.

[Ryan]

You need to break your leg during this basketball game.

[Ben]

Damn it, Jimmy. You're bringing nothing to the table.

[Mike]

That's what I'm saying.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

He's like, I'm free.

[Mike]

I don't have. We could build Legos.

[Ben]

And you're like, that's it. Legos. We did that last week. What would we do? Title hit, though.

[Ken]

What?

[Ben]

Jimmy Bill's Legos Part 3. Nobody gives a. Jimmy. Yeah.

[Ken]

I don't know. I'd still be down to do it. No, we'd have to. I'd have to check it out. Could be.

[Mike]

It could be fun, or it could be a. A lot of work. And jeopardize your whole family?

[Ken]

That, too. That one of those gambles?

[Ben]

Yeah. Hey, if I was a gambling man, which I am.

[Ken]

I. I don't know. I kind of believe in, like, the hypnotized thing maybe. Like, I guess I think it. I think it is kind of happening. But, like, Rob Dyrdek, he went to a hypnotist and got hypnotized for success.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Ken]

Like a young age.

[Ben]

Yeah. What?

[Ken]

Yeah. And he talks about all time, and I was thinking about going and seeing that guy.

[Ryan]

Hypnotized for success.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

You got hypnotized for success.

[Ben]

Like, so what? Like, what does that look like?

[Ken]

I don't Know, he just like does something and just I think tries to change your mindset or like you basically just programs you for success supposedly. And who knows if it works or not. But I mean, you definitely taking a good step in the right direction. Getting hypnotized for success. I'd do it if it was convenient. I think he's based out of la.

[Ben]

I think when he, when the hypnotist that was here, Freddie, he was talking about like, everyone's been hypnotized, whether you know it or not. But let's say you drive home and driving at night, you pull into your driveway and you're like, holy crap, I.

[Ken]

Do that all the time.

[Ryan]

I don't.

[Ben]

I. I think I just blacked out from. For the last 20 minutes, I don't even remember driving. Right. And he was like, well, that's, that's. You're technically in kind of a trance. You're hypnotized in a way, but mostly like your subconscious, it just takes over. So I wonder when you're saying that when you get hypnotized for success, you're just like. You're just telling your subconscious like, you will be successful, you will be successful. And you're subconscious, like your deep down soul is hypnotized, but you come out of it and you're just like, nice. I was hypnotized for success. I believe in it now. I believe that I'm.

[Ken]

As long as you got the attitude.

[Ben]

And it probably didn't really change much besides for the fact of like somebody just told you and you were like, nice. I trust them and now I'm good, dude.

[Ryan]

It almost. You could sum it down to. It didn't change a thing. But your attitude and your outlook on something which after having Gavin here, holy. I. C.J. and I have said it to each other, but we're like, we're gonna try to be more like Gavin and not be more.

[Ken]

I don't want.

[Ryan]

Because he's incredibly unique and you can't be like him, but just his, his good attitude and like the energy he brings to people and like, yeah, he's.

[Ken]

A positive person and he's nice to everyone and he has like, no ego. I don't know, I just liked a lot of his. A lot of traits. And I think if, if everyone could adapt a little bit of his traits, whether it's, you know, being nice to people, having a positive attitude, liking three wheelers, the world would be a better place.

[Ryan]

I think so too.

[Ben]

When we were working on the three wheelers and like, everything was going wrong. I remember Gavin was sitting there and. And our mechanic buddy was like, well, here's the issues and this and that, and just, like, basically just saying, like, how much of a pain in the ass it was gonna be. And Gavin was like, yep, yep, yep. This is gonna be fun. This is gonna be fun. And I look up at him.

[Ken]

This is gonna be.

[Ben]

What do you like? Like, what's gonna be a fun. When he goes, making this work, baby, this is gonna be a task. And I was like, damn. That kind of fired me up right there, guys.

[Ryan]

I need to hear so good.

[Ben]

No, I have no idea, dude. You guys, jelly beans.

[Mike]

I've seen them. Because.

[Evan]

Does the Easter Bunny bring those? What's that?

[Hudson]

The Easter Bunny.

[Ben]

I don't believe in the Easter Bunny.

[Ryan]

You don't?

[Mike]

No.

[Hudson]

What?

[Ken]

Yeah, man.

[Ben]

Who brings you your eggs, man. Ever since I stopped getting chocolate eggs.

[Ken]

I just stopped believing.

[Ben]

What about Santa?

[Ken]

No, I still believe in him. I get presents. I was gonna say you're close.

[Ben]

I was gonna say. I'm trying to picture what that would be like of you and her, like, getting divorced, and then you find out that your brother is married to, like, getting.

[Ken]

Yeah. Were you mad hitching up? No, I've already asked you this before.

[Grandpa Ron]

No, but I did hear something this morning or. Yeah, this morning, I think when I talked to my niece, she. You should visit with her sometimes. She'd clue you in a lot of stuff. She says her mom just died here a couple months ago. And she said one of the things my mom always told me is she remembers you talking me is when Ken, my brother, married my wife. I said, what in the fuck is wrong with him?

[Jimmy]

She.

[Grandpa Ron]

Her mother is 92, and she could still remember the day I said that, which was a good point at the time. And then after he married her, I would say, well, I'm glad he's married to her instead of me. So that was.

[Ken]

Yeah, that's what he always would say. I was just happy that he was married to her instead of me.

[Grandpa Ron]

They'd always ask me how, you know, what's that like? I mean, seeing your brother with, you know, fine with me. I mean, at least it's not me, so. But yeah.

[Mike]

So I didn't want to buy a surron from, like, a dealer. They're like 4,500 bucks. You know, they get them shipped over from China, but probably a bunch of them, and I didn't want to spend that much, so I was like, I'll just go on Alibaba, which I'M somewhat familiar with. And I. There's a whole bunch of vendors, and I picked one, and I was like, I just want to buy one. And then if the one is good, comes to my door and it checks out and it's real, then I'll buy, like, five or six more for the whole crew.

[Ryan]

So they're advertising them as real Surrons, not an Alibaba version of a Suron. Like, not a knockoff. They're advertising as real.

[Mike]

Yep. And I had made that very clear in the. In the messages. I was, like, just making sure this is real. I want it to be real. Cause I've heard of people getting not real ones, and nobody wants to pay half price for a not real one.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So I got it going, and I, like, tried to have all my checks and just made sure it was real. Made sure the battery was authentic Panasonic. And then they said two grand for the bike, 500 for shipping. Shipping is 10 days. Oh, man, 10 days. That's awesome.

[Hudson]

Perfect.

[Mike]

Wire them the money, they ship it. Okay, cool. And then after about a month, I'm like, hey. And they're like, you got to check with the shipping company. It's in customs in Mexico.

[Ryan]

Mexico now.

[Mike]

So went from, like, it went from China to Mexico. I'm like, why didn't it just go to a port in the United States? So you don't want your stuff to be in customs in Mexico because they can do whatever they want. And so that's kind of where it started. I was like, well, why is this not shipping? And they're like, you need to pay customs. Okay, that makes sense. So I hit them up, and they're like, yeah, here's. And it's like, fee, fee, fee, fee, charge, charge, charge, charge, charge to 990 bucks to clear it from customs yet, man, I just paid 500 bucks to ship this thing on top of the 2 grand. So I'm already 3500 in if I decide to pay this. I'm just still trying to feel this out. Okay. You can cash app or Venmo.

[Ryan]

And so now they're taking you out of, like, a legit.

[Mike]

Still wired it if I wanted, but I didn't want.

[Ryan]

So it's not through Alibaba or anything.

[Mike]

Like that to the shipping company now. And so I still toyed with the idea for a while and messaged the vendor back and forth. I'm just like, I think if I just pay this customs charge, they'll send it. And then I paid this Venmo to just Like a random dude. And.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. And then.

[Mike]

Okay, then they were like, sweet. Send the receipt. I did. And then they were like, cool. Now do you want to pay the customs charge for the other 10? And I'm like, what? And they're like, yeah, 9900 for the other 10. There's 11 total in the shipment. And I'm like, what?

[Ryan]

I ordered one.

[Mike]

I ordered one. Can you just ship it? No, this shipment has 11. So if you want to pay customs for the rest, then we'll ship it.

[Ryan]

But when they say, do you want to? Could you just be like, no, I just want my one bike?

[Mike]

Then that's what I said. And then they were like, okay, well, the shipments 11. So you have to still back and try it with them on that. And then I'm like, why? Why is there 11. 11 surrons. I wanted one. So I go to the vendor, and I'm just like, hey, why there? Why is there 11? And they're like, oh, well, we normally don't just ship one. We normally, like. I could read the messages, but essentially what they said, we don't Normally just ship one. We usually ship 11. Okay, to who, though? And that's what I'm like.

[Ryan]

Because they ship the 11 to.

[Mike]

Yeah, they're like, we usually only do bulk shipments.

[Ken]

You sure you're not getting hustled?

[Mike]

No, I'm not sure at all. That's the whole point of this.

[Ben]

All right, so if you pay the shipping, then for the other 10, do you get them for free?

[Mike]

Probably.

[Ben]

Do they ship. Are they shipping 11 to you, then? Or are you just. Are you just releasing? Right, that's the one. And then they're like, sweet, thanks for paying for all of them.

[Ken]

You lost me at Venmoing for the customs that ain't coming.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where I usually.

[Ken]

I don't know if that's a normal.

[Mike]

No, you're in.

[Ken]

You're at normal, Ken. Like, when you're Venmoing for customs, that ain't coming.

[Ryan]

That's what I mean.

[Mike]

They gave me, like, their wire information, but I just didn't want to call my bank and start a whole wire. And since it was under $1,000, I just did it on Venmo.

[Ryan]

But was the wire. Can you Venmo. Like, was it the shipping company, or was it like, I've. I've made customs payment for us when we have stuff come across, and it will be like, two United States Customs, like, it's a payment to them.

[Mike]

It's not even Going, not that.

[Ryan]

Okay, so it's. It's a payment to Joe Schmo?

[Mike]

Yeah, pretty much.

[Nikki]

So you've been Pedro in Mexico, and.

[Mike]

And nothing's happening.

[Nikki]

Okay, so you wired you Venmo, the mob?

[Ryan]

Basically, yeah.

[Ben]

And that's.

[Mike]

So that is where I lose most people with it, because that is where I fucked up. However, then that's why it got juicier. So it could just be like, yeah, I got scammed. I literally, like, so stupid. Like, I'm not getting my bike. But then they interject this 11. And so I asked the shipping company to send me a picture of it. And they're like, normally we don't send pictures of our shipment, but they sent me some grainy ass picture of a bunch of suron boxes. That's it. That's all I got. I asked for more. That's all I got. So I'm like, okay, if I release this, will they all be shipped to my house? And they're like, yeah, it's like, this is your shipment. Okay. And then I was like, well, if these end up at my house or at the shop, they're mine. But I still can't take a risk on. They came up with, like, $7,500 to release it all. I'm not gonna take that risk. However, then the vendor says, pay the customs charges, the bikes will get to you, and then we'll negotiate a price, a discounted price for the bikes.

[Ryan]

And I'm like, what do you mean? I'd be like, yeah, the negotiation is now they are mine.

[Ben]

You sent it to me? Yeah. No kidding. That'd be us. That'd be like us sending somebody five shirts. And then as soon as they get them, being like, sweet. You gonna pay for the other four then?

[Mike]

Yeah, pretty much. And whack. Exactly like that. And then they'd be like, well, I just ordered the one. And then we're like, well, you probably order more later, though.

[Ryan]

So you paid for the shipping on all of them. That makes, like, no sense.

[Mike]

So I don't know anything.

[Ken]

I am.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[Ken]

Are you paying for this with your own money or the company money?

[Mike]

You take a guess.

[Ben]

Company money.

[Mike]

No.

[Ken]

Thank God.

[Mike]

You guess wrong.

[Ben]

Mike, let me see the Venmo. I want to see what.

[Mike]

That's pretty funny.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So your transactions, the first transaction, was that made through Alibaba?

[Mike]

That was a wire transfer. Have all the receipts, but if it's not through Alibaba, if the invoice is not paid through Alibaba, which they Usually try not to do. It's not protected.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's why, like, people always try to get me into WhatsApp and all this other stuff, but then you're not protected. So there is a slight little bit of protection doing it through the app.

[Ben]

Oh, my gosh.

[Mike]

His name's Jason Lawrence, and it's just a big Mexican dude in a tuxedo.

[Ben]

No.

[Ken]

At least he's wearing a tuxedo. He's got class, and I love that picture.

[Ryan]

Looks like he's like, okay, Jason.

[Ben]

Wait, Mike, why did you Venmo him and say, who the hell is Jason Lawrence?

[Mike]

That was my memo. I just said, who the hell is Jason Lawrence?

[Ben]

All right, so Jason Lawrence, who received the Venmo for $990 from Micah. Here are his last Venmo transactions. Cindy Lawrence paid him for breakfast on October 9th.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Ben]

Cindy Lawrence paid him for prescription meds on September 30th. Cindy Lawrence also paid him September 28th for groceries.

[Ken]

You ain't getting that money back.

[Ben]

Car tags, new kitty supplies, pet supplies and food, dinner, Disney chores, chores, chores.

[Ken]

I'm sure he. I'm sure his Venmo hooks up with customs.

[Ben]

Up. Yeah.

[Ryan]

He asked Siri and goes, what do people do on Venmo, dude?

[Ken]

I think.

[Mike]

Yeah, no, I'm. I'm definitely not getting the money back. But, like, I guess at the end of the day, it's still up to the shipping company because they took.

[Ryan]

There is no shipping company. It's Jason Lawrence, who's a idiot.

[Ken]

He got scammed. Hold up, Mike.

[Ben]

Who did you pay the original $2,000 to?

[Mike]

To hear sale.in which is the vendor of the Suron.

[Ryan]

Okay. Heresale, dot ink. They all have weird names, so that's fine.

[Ben]

Yeah, we should get Coffeezilla involved in this one. Have we ever had any of our shipments be held in customs in Mexico?

[Ryan]

No, they always go direct to the U.S. right.

[Ben]

Because I thought.

[Ryan]

And when you get the message, it's like it is stamped like US Customs and Border Patrol. Like, it's a legit document that you fill in all the stuff from the company there. Your company here. Like, it's a pretty legit transaction. My concern. I mean, I feel bad that you lost the 900 bucks to Jason Lawrence, but I hope that you can get the 2,500 that you paid to Hearsale, Inc. Back. I hope there's enough, you know, data there that you're able to retract that wire.

[Mike]

Yeah, at this point, that would be.

[Ryan]

Great, because, I mean, Otherwise, that's a $3,500 thing. That's a suron.

[Ben]

So, Mike, what did Jason Lawrence say to. To convince you to just Venmo him? A thousand bucks.

[Mike]

I have actually never spoken with Jason Lawrence.

[Ben]

What was the. The transaction or what was like the communication between you and somebody that was like, yes, you just venmoed Jason Lawrence. 990 bucks. He will handle.

[Ryan]

He'll take care of it.

[Mike]

It was basically me just asking if I can pay through Venmo because they. They said cash app. I'm like, well, I don't use. No one uses cash app, dude.

[Ryan]

You know, they were sitting in some little stoked. They were sitting somewhere and they go, this guy's dumber than we thought. And they high fived.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Ryan]

Quick, go make a Venmo. I'll be Cindy, you be whatever the other guy.

[Ken]

I don't think it matters whether it.

[Ben]

Is real Venmo or not.

[Ryan]

That's what I mean.

[CJ]

It is.

[Nikki]

So I. I did just. Look, it is impossible to cancel or retract a wire fund once the funds have left your account.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

I was like, I already knew that. Like, that's pretty cut and dry information.

[Ben]

Well, Mike, if it makes you feel any better, I lost 2500 bucks in Vegas. And you lost just a little bit more than that on a suron.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

So life kicks you in the nuts sometimes.

[Ryan]

My parents were gone, so I'd snuck out. I believe Micah and I were hanging out and it like ended up ice storming. You know, when it rains in the winter, it gets really icy. And I was driving home at like 3:30am and it was so icy I couldn't make it up the turn to my like, turn left. You know, you kind of have to go up a little bank. So I was sitting on the side of the road, like, kind of trying to figure out what to do, how to get up to my corner or make my turn in my tc.

[Ben]

That thing could barely drive on dry roads.

[Ken]

Exactly.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And so I'm sitting there and I see these headlights coming up behind me and I go, okay, I'm not gonna do anything thing right now. I'm gonna wait it out. So, you know, he goes by me and that's everything's good, buddy comes by me. Obviously, same thing happens. Tail end of this Duramax slides down inside, swipes me right on the side of the road. And then the guy just floors it and takes off.

[Ken]

He's probably all Hamboni leaving the roadhouse.

[Ryan]

Yeah, like 3:30. So he. He was. We figured out.

[Ben]

3:30 in the morning.

[Ryan]

3:30 in the morning. I was just a young dump.

[Ken]

I remember some pictures. Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

And I'm like, oh, my God. I just got hit. Couldn't chase him down because my car wouldn't hardly move, you know?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So anyway, we're just like, oh, man, what are we gonna do? You know, I call my parents. They're pissed because I snuck out, like, this whole ordeal, and I kind of remembered. I was like, all right, it was a white truck with, like a black toolbox in the back. You know, there's like 17 people that live around here. So I go drive by the roadhouse. The next morning, There he is, 11am, sitting at the roadhouse. Big scratch down the side of his truck.

[Ken]

Was he working or drinking?

[Ryan]

Drinking.

[Ken]

Wow. Well, hold on.

[Ben]

May. Maybe he brought his truck back there in case the little rat that he hit the night before was gonna come and claim that he was on the road and he was gonna say, no, my truck never left the parking lot.

[Ryan]

Well, maybe he could have been smarter and, like, talk his way out of it. But anyway, we brought it up and he was, like, drunk. And so the guy admitted he was like, yeah, I don't remember driving home last night.

[Ben]

I hit you. Oh, no shit.

[Ryan]

Worst part is, it was his buddy's truck. His buddy was working in the oil fields, and he went, I'm going to look cool for this chick that he was taking out. So he borrowed his buddy's truck without asking.

[Ken]

My God.

[Ryan]

Banged it all up. Had to pay for my new door.

[Ken]

So what made it cash or.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we. He ended up being like, you know, this is a bad, bad situation. So we worked it out. Still live around here, I guess. I don't know what he drives now, but you.

[Hudson]

Who is it?

[Ken]

I'd like to maybe tell me off camera.

[Ryan]

I don't know. I literally don't know his name. I was pretty young.

[Ben]

Wasn't the guy that came to our shop and did the burnout Dr. Phil. Yeah, I don't think it was Dr. Phil.

[Ken]

Could have been his friend, though.

[Ryan]

Could have been.

[Ben]

Because it was like a similar truck to that, wasn't it?

[Ryan]

But yeah.

[Ben]

Anyway, man, I bet you were rattled.

[Ryan]

So I can say I've gotten hit by a drunk driver. I was super rattled, dude.

[Ben]

Getting sideswiped.

[Ryan]

And then they dip, take off because I was sitting. Like, I saw the headlights and then I kind of just like went down on my phone and wasn't paying attention. Then all of a sudden, crafty noises. Tom Brady kisses his kids though, and that's always rubbed me the wrong way.

[Ken]

Why?

[Evan]

Because you wish, like, on the lips. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe like the forehead or the cheeks. Yeah, not on the lips.

[Ben]

Like a little hug.

[Ryan]

That's. That's fine. But, like, come here, son. You don't lay in a fat one on him. That ain't it. No, there's, like, they took a really weird, like, picture. What are you. What are you thinking right now? I don't even want to say it.

[Ken]

They took.

[Ryan]

He took, like, a Instagram story, and it was like his son was sitting on his lap, but they were, like, straddling. Like how, like you and Nikki would straddle at the beach. Like, you're sitting behind her and she's sitting in front, like, laying down in between your legs.

[Evan]

Did he have a boner? Like, I would.

[Ryan]

I don't know. I didn't. Didn't ask him.

[Ken]

That was a little weird.

[Evan]

No, but it is kind of weird.

[Ryan]

We had a video that we did, like, couple years ago, and we went out into Utah and spent a night in the back country with the Godfrey, and we went to, like, this teepee. There was like, already kind of like a lean to made in the mountain. And we spent the entire day not snowmobiling, just building our stuff for the night. We had food, we had drinks, we had everything. It was super, super fun. The one of the cooler experiences, watching the sunset and the sunrise, but sleeping in a sleeping bag with all my warm clothes, all the stuff in the snow cave. I'd spent six hours digging, and it was still brutal. And I think about having spending a night after riding all day like we did today, where you're sopping wet and you're tired and you're hungry and all you want is a cheeseburger. And having to spend a night out there would be. It'd be awful.

[Ben]

That's when you could feel you're sitting.

[Mike]

In front of the fire, literally, like, drying your socks.

[Hudson]

Just. My will to survive, my will to conquer is way stronger than my will to just like. Like, okay, we're staying the night.

[Mike]

I will.

[Hudson]

Like, yeah, until I'm bleeding out my eyeballs and my fingertips wore off. I am scratching and clawing my way out of anything or everything that I can, you know?

[Ben]

Yeah, it's that fight or flight.

[Hudson]

I just. Grit, man. You can't teach grit.

[Ryan]

I just.

[Hudson]

I grew up in that sort of scenario, you know?

[Ben]

Like, you Canadians are built different.

[Hudson]

Grew up in a logging family, and it was just like, when stuff breaks down on the log Equipment, you do everything you can to get it fixed because every, every minute you lose is $100 or.

[Mike]

You know what I mean?

[Hudson]

And I feel like that's carried into my career, whether it's competing or just like riding natural terrain or just like, you know, even when I'm like going for a ride and we're out in the trees, I'm like, I'm intentionally trying to punish myself. I'm like, I think I get my snowmobile through that little like spot right there and then I'll get just wedged in there like. Well, I guess that didn't work.

[Ben]

Yeah, dude, we, I mean, we say that all the time when everything goes wrong that you can't even imagine going wrong. There's always some kind of way to fix it or make the show continue to go on.

[Hudson]

Totally.

[Ben]

Because, like, I mean, we figured it out on like all of our weird contraption vehicles. Like, we don't really show the, the process of them breaking in the videos just to keep them moving. But like, it's always such a disaster and we don't have a, any time to just be like, oh, well, we can't do it. Like, we have to post on Thursday. And we always, well, I forgot to put the chain. Yeah.

[Hudson]

Separated.

[Ben]

So there is something to be said about that. Like, like being a problem solver for anything 100 and just like, and just.

[Hudson]

Figuring it out, the will to conquer, you know, Like, I feel like that's just something that it just gets grounded.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Hudson]

Just like you just take, you just keep taking the beating, you know, and come out the other side. It's like that, that sort of like fulfillment is what I'm after like all the time. I just love that feeling of like the satisfaction of just being absolutely ground down to nothing and then coming out the other side and just like high fiving your buddy or like your group and be like, man, that was absolutely gnarly. And we're like back at the trucks, you know?

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

What does David call it? It's tight. Type 2 fun. Type 2 fun.

[Mike]

Type 2fun.

[Ryan]

It's when you're having a bad time, but you're with your buddies and then afterwards it's gonna. The top in the moment.

[Ben]

You're hated at the moment, but you look back on it.

[Ken]

It's awesome.

[Ryan]

Exactly. Type 2 fun.

[Hudson]

I go with like the Tyler Beerman. The Tyler Beerman quote. Like, that dude is gnarly on a dirt bike, but he's like, he's always just like, team never quit. You know, like, it's true though. All those top level moto dudes just get punished with injuries. And it's like, it's so cool to watch them come back and like, and rebuild and come back better, you know, it's like I try and keep that mentality in my brain. You see me in my vlogs where I'll be like, I'll be so buggered up and just say like everything that I've got, every ounce of energy to like not be stuck, come out the other side like, oh, so glad I never quit. Because if I quit, it's concreted in and I'm going to be there for hours. Yeah.

[Ken]

I remember one time when I was riding with you, grandpa. It was me, you and grandma and there was a guy at the grocery. We were driving past the grocery store and this guy was getting arrested and you and you pulled over and we watched like, like we pulled over, parked and watched. Oh, you want to watch?

[Ben]

We pulled up.

[Grandpa Ron]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

Those people take most grandparents, take them like the zoo.

[Ken]

They're like, don't turn the other way. Oh yeah, it's cool. Watch.

[Grandpa Ron]

Well, yeah. Learn not to get arrested. That's.

[Ken]

Yeah, yeah, that's true.

[Ben]

Exactly right.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

That's the underlying mess message, not the entertainment factor.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

I think you were laughing during it.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Grandpa Ron]

I've had some great experience with all these guys, all my grandkids, so a lot of people, so. But you gotta, you know, your live wide open is a perfect. You know, that's what you got to do.

[Ken]

Absolutely.

[Grandpa Ron]

You know, and help people do things and whatever.

[Ken]

I always say it, but like, I really hope that by the time I'm your age, I've lived a life like you and I'm still have energy like you. Maybe I shouldn't say lived a life like you, but just had a very fun life like you. Like that's what you've had.

[Grandpa Ron]

So you can tell he hit his head in hockey, can't you?

[Ken]

By the way.

[Ben]

But like you're in such good, you're.

[Ken]

In good condition and like you just like, you can do a lot of stuff that most people 10 years younger and you can't even do.

[Grandpa Ron]

Well, that's your fault.

[Ben]

I mean, dude, one time I was, I was skiing. I was like a little kid and I didn't want to go inside when I was skiing, so I just, I just pissed my pants.

[Ken]

Really?

[Ben]

Yeah. Rental boots.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I'll all day.

[Ben]

Yeah. What?

[Mike]

I mean, I was like a little kid. Like a little, little.

[Ken]

You just pissed your pants?

[Ben]

It Was like, how little could you have been 15? I don't know, probably like four or five.

[Ken]

No way.

[Ben]

Yeah. Of. I hate to go this direction.

[Evan]

Oh no.

[Ben]

I hate to go this direction with the podcast, which it seems like they normally do, but the other day I heard the beginning of a story of you getting your nuts cut open.

[Ryan]

What?

[Evan]

Yeah, that happened.

[Ben]

And, and I said, tell me no more, tell me no more. I gotta wait till I hear from Evan on the podcast. So I've been waiting for this moment. What's the story?

[Evan]

Okay, so funny enough, actually, this is.

[Ben]

Where the pods always go.

[Evan]

I was in sixth grade when that happened. That was a hell of a year.

[Ken]

Tough year.

[Evan]

I went deaf and blew my nuts apart.

[Hudson]

Oh, shit.

[Ben]

Okay.

[Evan]

Yes. So when we were kids, we were, we had a bike jump. We were jumping off of like a flatbed skid steer trailer over a little creek. So it was maybe 2 or 3ft tall. And we were just jumping out 5ft to get over this crick. It was kind of muddy where we were landing and my buddy had my bike, so I was just going to run and jump with my feet over the creek up onto the trailer rather than off the trailer, over the creek. So I just came running in full bar and jumped. And I wasn't gonna make it. So I thought if I got one foot up on the trailer, I could pull myself up. And that foot that got on the trailer was just covered in mud and it just slid. So I basically, yeah, just ran at a full sprint and just jumped. Did the splits. Like a 90 degree steel edge into.

[Ryan]

Like the, the thin metal on the back of a flatbed trailer.

[Evan]

Yeah, I mean, just, yeah, 90 degree angle. It's like the edge of this table.

[Ben]

Okay.

[Evan]

So I, So right away when it happened, I, I got just like a normal nutshot where you like kind of get an upset stomach, you kind of get a hot flash, whatever. And I just thought maybe I was okay, like walk it off or whatever. And my upset stomach wasn't going away after a few minutes. So I'm like, wow, I'm just gonna go to the bathroom. I might need to take a poop. Maybe that'll make my stomach feel better.

[Ben]

But even at six years old, no.

[Evan]

Sixth grade, I was like 13, 12, or however old you are then. So I. And then, you know, but evaluate myself mainly. I just was gonna go do it in private and go get in the bathroom and a relevant part of the story by walking the bathroom and the toilet just happens to be flooded to the ground and it's like, not what I need, but it's just. That doesn't matter.

[Grandpa Ron]

Did you.

[Ben]

Did she was in there an hour before?

[Evan]

No, that was somebody else. It wasn't me.

[Ken]

Okay.

[Evan]

Go in there. Toilets already blown out.

[Ken]

I knew they should come back to.

[Ben]

Bite me in the ass, so just.

[Evan]

Try to ignore that. Start. As soon as I start to pull my pants down or my underwear down, I noticed there is blood. There's a bunch of blood.

[Ben]

Sorry.

[Evan]

So I'm like, oh, my God. And, like.

[Ken]

This is what I'm talking about.

[Ben]

British Columbia.

[Mike]

All right. Okay.

[Ben]

Sorry.

[Hudson]

Sorry.

[Ryan]

No, no.

[Evan]

So I know there's blood everywhere. So, like, basically just kind of grab my sack and start. Like, starting to look down, and there's, like, a little scratch or a scuff on top.

[Ben]

Little blood?

[Evan]

Yeah, it was just like, a little abrasion. I don't really know what it was from, but I'm like, oh, this.

[Ryan]

This is trailer.

[Evan]

This is manageable, Right?

[Grandpa Ron]

All right.

[Ben]

I hate to. I hate to cut you off.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ben]

But it's just getting a little too detailed knowing that you're, like, 16 or 13 years old for the.

[Ryan]

For the sake of the story. Evan is now 18 years old.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I was 20 years anyway, so. But either way, I. I thought I found where the blood was coming from pretty real quick. No big deal. Actually, like, was just gonna rock with it. And then something just didn't feel right, and I just, like, stuck my hand down further, and I just felt, like, an open wound, which turned out to be, like, six stitches, I believe. But, yeah, then I checked again, found out that it was bad. Had to, like, go tell my parents. We're at kind of like a barbecue with a bunch of family friends and stuff. And I, like, pulled my dad aside. I was like, hey, look at this. I think it's bad. Just like, oh, my God. Get your mother. You're going to the hospital.

[Ryan]

Dad, I blew my balls out, but.

[Evan]

I think they're fine. I think everything works like they're. They're supposed to now, Dude. The. Honestly, almost the most pain, though, was I waited too long to get the stitches out, so there was a couple that were kind of grown in, and I could just. The doctor with the tweezers, he's pulling on that stitch. It's just stretching. Got your legs before it finally, like, snaps out.

[Ryan]

Like, he just.

[Ben]

Oh. Cause the sack.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Evan]

It was like if you were just plucking a pew boat, but then it's, like, ultra attached.

[Ken]

Just stretch from here to here.

[Ben]

Way out.

[Ken]

So so this might be too graphic. I don't know. But was, like, the slice bad enough where, like, a nut could have just fallen out?

[Evan]

See, that's what's weird. I think there might be, like, layers. Layers of stuff. And honestly, I think. Think it might have been a. A tear.

[Mike]

Oh.

[Evan]

Like, one ball went both ways potentially. I don't know. I don't honestly know, cuz. I mean, could you get truly cut? It's not that sharp of an edge. It's like. I kind of think it was a tear.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

But that doesn't make it sound any less painful, to be honest.

[Evan]

That was painful.

[Ken]

Oh.

[Evan]

I can't imagine if Ken would have suffered that trauma.

[Ryan]

Dude, we've never seen this type of blood loss.

[Ken]

He's way more probable for a nutshot. He's a at way or higher risk, dude.

[Mike]

So do you ever get, like, upset that, like, frat boys from the States take your lingo? Because I think your lingo is pure. I guess I'm kind of throwing it back to, like, how everyone thinks you're funny, but I think they take, like, frat boys and, like, whatever they like. They talk, like, how Canadians actually talk.

[Ben]

I think it was the Nelk boys wave, like.

[Mike]

Like, kind of transitioning.

[Ken]

For sure.

[Evan]

You could think, like, Steve's from, like, Canada.

[Ben]

Do you?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

So does that kind of piss you off that, like, all these frat boys are talking like that? Oh, it's. It's like a sense of. Of.

[Hudson]

What's the word?

[Ben]

Ryan. Ryan's my word guy.

[Ryan]

Thesaurus.

[Mike]

Like.

[Ben]

Like flattery? Yeah, like flattery.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Yeah, I guess so.

[Ben]

I would say that.

[Hudson]

Yeah.

[Evan]

I think Canadians aren't funny, man.

[Ben]

Like, American comedy, American movies, American commercials are way more funny than Canadian.

[Ryan]

Do you guys even have, like, TV and stuff up here?

[Mike]

So what. What's like. What's your Kevin from?

[Evan]

Talk Dog Talk.

[Ken]

Might not.

[Mike]

On the freaking Arctic Ocean.

[Ben]

Country up here.

[Mike]

You Canadians, pretty low risk.

[Ben]

You've done some gnarly.

[Ryan]

You really have.

[Ben]

I mean, it's definitely gotten to a point where, dude, there's no. No arguing the fact, like, we've done some crazy.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

Some. That deserves respect. So many things.

[Ken]

Who else on YouTube has, like. Like, a catalog like ours where you can scroll through and be like, holy.

[Mike]

I just.

[Ben]

None.

[Ken]

None.

[Ben]

No, there's no way.

[Ken]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

Because I'm downloading week to week to.

[Ken]

Week to week to week. Yeah, Back to back.

[Ryan]

That one Russian guy.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah, dude, I saw one today of him.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

He tried to jump between two buildings.

[Ben]

With like a 10 yard run up. Yeah, I. I gotta just pop.

[Ken]

He wasn't even wearing a helmet, bro.

[Ryan]

He wasn't?

[Ben]

No.

[Ken]

He just crawls out of the. Like the car is literally ripped off in half. Damn near. And he just crawls out the the windshield.

[Mike]

Like runs off.

[Ryan]

Dude, that was the most gnarly thing I've ever seen. Not only did he crash into a building at 15 miles an hour, he then fell four large stories to the ground.

[Ken]

How is that guy okay? Like, he does that all the time. He was in a hospital for a while. He was hospitalized. Cuz he broke his back or something? No, and he's just right back to it. He's fine.

[Ben]

The thing about everything that he does, it seems like almost half of it is like the purpose is to fail.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[Ken]

No, look like they don't know where.

[Ben]

He broke his back. He jumped into the ice. Like the car.

[Ken]

Jumped the car?

[Mike]

Yeah, the ice one. He was all right. He tried to do this huge gap into a river. That's right.

[Ben]

Or across.

[Mike]

Across the river. And he didn't even come close.

[Ryan]

Okay, look at how gnarly this is.

[Ben]

Maybe it's when he doesn't come close. Close. That's where I was like going.

[Ken]

Buildings abandoned. Or is this what it looks like in Russia?

[Ben]

God damn.

[Ryan]

Oh, like, that is violent. And then here, I'll go to the next.

[Ken]

Just the building crash was violent.

[Ryan]

Look at this, dude.

[Ben]

That's what I mean.

[Mike]

It crashed.

[Ryan]

Look at this run up. Like, dude, the homies filming got to be like, I. I know how he crawls right out.

[Ken]

He's out. No helmet, dude. Russians are built different.

[Mike]

They're cheering.

[Ryan]

He was running away from the pain there for sure. But I mean, I know how I felt watching Micah crash. And compared to that, that was like taking a spill on a tricycle. But I mean, I know how I felt watching that in the, like sick to my stomach feeling in my gut and in my core. I was like, this was awful. So I can't. This is. That's too much.

[Ben]

Let me see some other accolades of this guy. What else is he.

[Ryan]

Oh, this one's pretty crazy. And he's driving a Miata.

[Ben]

Convertible.

[Ken]

No Case, I don't think the point is to fail. I think he has to either make it or he died.

[Ryan]

Exactly what that was like, purposely fail. I was like, no, you couldn't even.

[Ken]

Get someone with a camera. Camera moving. He had to set that up on a tripod. Like, same here.

[Mike]

He has a bunch of those just jumping over.

[Ken]

That guy's built. Yeah, he's built different.

[Ben]

Let me see the. The yellow car one the only.

[Ken]

The sad thing, he's only getting 55k likes on these things. Bro.

[Ryan]

That was close. Dude.

[Mike]

The other wild thing about him, unless he's hurt, he's pretty consistent on putting content out.

[Ryan]

Yeah, this is when he broke his back.

[Ben]

Yep, yep.

[Ken]

Yeah, he goes to just flat.

[Ben]

Oh, like that is how would that have gone better?

[Ken]

Yeah, no, it's broken.

[Ryan]

I mean hopefully making it but still he did make it kind of.

[Mike]

Watch the ice one.

[Ken]

I know what you're saying Ben. As there's no easy landing to any of these as far as like. Like that you're just. Yeah, like that you're still.

[Ben]

You're still just head on collide.

[Mike]

That's a good example.

[Ken]

And who do you find to drive the other car?

[Ryan]

I know and I love how the bracing was just a two by six strapped to the roof.

[Ken]

Those old Russian cars that just.

[Ryan]

This one's crazy too.

[Ken]

From the 60s.

[Mike]

Oh my gosh.

[Ken]

We got 333, 000 views. Like what?

[Nikki]

This literally looks like he's trying to kill himself and fail.

[Ken]

He doesn't have that many videos because I'm sure they all get taken down.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's a lot of these.

[Ben]

That's the best way to put it. He's just.

[Ken]

I remember hearing about this at the time it happened. Like it was like, yeah, Ben. Ben's all gone up because you got beat up at recess.

[Ben]

Yeah, it was at recess. Yeah, I remember it. I don't really remember the context.

[Ken]

What'd you do to like why would he go after you?

[Ben]

I don't know. I'm trying to think of that. You were probably.

[Ken]

You were really small. Ben was really, really small.

[Ben]

I could have been running my mouth. But that doesn't sound like something I would do.

[Ken]

I could see it.
