Yeah, the GoPro looks like trash.

[CJ]

Mine's like if I big ball on the podcast in like a short amount of time, they're gonna forget that I was taking all the money before. No, I never believe that for the case but I really haven't seen any money from the podcast. But I just. I don't believe Ryan's the type of gu to steal it. That's all. I don't know where it's going, but.

[Mike]

It goes into the collective fund of Seaboy's team investments.

[CJ]

Yeah, like you could tell me I bought three more fake Lamborghinis and I'd be like, if I could find three.

[Mike]

More fake Lamborghinis, I'd probably buy them. I thought about getting us all gold Life Wide Open podcast chains that be lit custom. At least we'd have something something to show for.

[Ken]

Where is the lifewide open the gold.

[CJ]

Life wide open chain down on the window sill.

[Ken]

Oh, I kind of like that, dude. I like that. I've never worn a necklace before and I started rocking that for two days and I kind of liked it.

[Mike]

I love mine.

[CJ]

Oh, you really haven't worn.

[Ken]

I've never worn a necklace. The only the last necklace I wore was one of those puka necklaces like back when I was seven years old.

[Mike]

Is that the shark tooth one?

[Ken]

It's like the one that's super uncomfortable. Dalton wears it.

[CJ]

I was going to say I'm pretty sure.

[Ken]

I just don't know why. I don't know why.

[CJ]

And we can't say anything. Ryan adopted the chain gang Later. We all like chains. We like wearing one chain at a time. No more. Dalton wears two. I don't know. He's pull it off.

[Ryan]

You pull it off. Is there a limit on how many dudes in your group crew can have a chain?

[CJ]

Wonder that because it's not like the Mohawk.

[Mike]

I think so.

[CJ]

You know, like one Mohawk, everyone.

[Ken]

Not everyone could rock the Mohawk and nobody would question it. It's not like that.

[Evan]

No one person rocks a Mohawk. And everyone questions if there's.

[Ryan]

If we already roll in a crew, all of us wearing seaboys. Life wide open gear. If all of us had Mohawks, I think it would be. It'd be a lot.

[CJ]

Well, just our life would be a bit. At that point, it'd be a lot.

[Ryan]

It'd be like. It'd be like, it's already kind of like, who are these guys walking in if they don't already know us? But then it's like, who are these guys?

[Mike]

Why they a punk band? They don't look very punk.

[Ken]

Yeah. Like, everyone dresses the same, looks the same. Still very. Just like normal white guys. Everyone has Mohawks.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

C.J.

[Ken]

Wants us to start rocking the Mohawks so he can. He can just accept, like, the full head of hair. Dude, if you would actually go hard with a Mohawk. Oh, dude, I met somebody that had that. Cj.

[Ryan]

A Mohawk or a receding hairline?

[Mike]

Both.

[Ken]

It was a receding hairline into a super clean Mohawk. Yeah, it actually went hard.

[Mike]

Would you do, like, the Mr. T style where it's kind of flat?

[Ken]

Yeah, it's like a flat.

[Ryan]

I.

[Ken]

The guy that I saw had the flat. But I think if you're going Mohawk, like, you have to go a full, you know, quarter pipe bike up. Oh, yeah.

[CJ]

See, that's. Well, what throws me off the most is when. Because I did this back in, like, elementary football. But anyway, Buzz cut. Buzz cut. And then the top is like. That's pretty much a buzz cut.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah, but, mister. Yeah, I guess you're right.

[Ken]

What about flat tops? You think flat tops will ever come back around? Like, you know, mullets were kind of. You know, the wave mullets were cool. And then. And then nobody had them. And now they're back in.

[Mike]

Exactly. So have Mohawks ever been cool or, like, they never got mullet?

[Ryan]

I think Mohawk is always kind of a punk thing, you know, But I'd say probably the 90s was the biggest.

[Mike]

Mohawk era or another, like, 10 years Green Day thing.

[Ken]

To your point, though, Mohawks, cool.

[CJ]

The flat top, like, honestly, I'd rather have blue hair than have a flat top like a state flat tops.

[Ryan]

Just lame.

[CJ]

Because I don't want to look like a state trooper.

[Ken]

I don't know if you could, Mike.

[CJ]

Yeah, I don't know if I could either, but let's say I could. Still wouldn't want to do it.

[Evan]

I think you have the hair for it.

[CJ]

I don't want to look like a safe build.

[Ryan]

They all kind of have the same build.

[Ken]

Yeah. I don't think that could really be in your deck of car.

[CJ]

That wasn't. All right.

[Ken]

I know the greatest flat top. Cool.

[CJ]

I'm gonna go bald. I'm gonna Nair my whole head. You happy now?

[Mike]

Nair. Freaking hurts.

[CJ]

Really? I've never actually used it.

[Mike]

Yeah, no. Jake and I used it when we were going through puberty.

[Ryan]

Never.

[Mike]

It was rough.

[CJ]

I've heard it hurt.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

I used to. Yeah. At that age was like, oh, yeah. N. It's funny to pull pranks on or use whatever. It takes your hair off. Oh, that's wild.

[Ken]

Oh, yeah.

[CJ]

Does it hurt? I don't know.

[Ken]

Put it in somebody's shampoo.

[CJ]

Yeah. But then, like, well, I don't know. I don't know anyone who's ever done that. But, like, in real life, it hurts.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

No, it burns. Jake used to just use a little, like, torch, and then he would just burn off all of his chest hair, which is the most savage.

[Ken]

See him do that, though.

[CJ]

I've done it to him.

[Mike]

Yeah. Hey, you would, like, sit down and be like, burn my nipple hair off.

[Ryan]

It wouldn't take much. It wouldn't take.

[CJ]

It was just the nipple hair. But, like, man, did that stink.

[Ken]

We did something pretty big today, guys.

[CJ]

Gave a tour of the shop, set.

[Ken]

Up a retirement fund. Here's the catch.

[CJ]

Yeah, no, let's string it along a little bit. That's pretty exciting news here, setting up a 401k.

[Mike]

That's one of my favorite things to tell people when they go, like, so, are you guys, like, getting paid, you know, stuff? Because people still have that question. If you don't follow them, they go like, susie, your job. Do you work other jobs? And I go, yeah, yeah, We. We have, like, a retirement plan. A 401k. Obviously, this is now the new plan we just set up. But previously we had Roths or whatever the frick.

[Ken]

Yep. But, like, that's programs and whatever. But it's official. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we had to set up our 401k plan, start planning for the future. Kids putting that money aside, and they said, so what name would you guys like to put on your retirement fund? And we can name it and. And just keep in mind, like, it'll be printed out on. On the statements, you know, for all your employees and yourselves for forever. And we looked at each other. I went, I feel like this is the perfect time, boys.

[CJ]

He said, I assume you guys could just call it the C Boys TV Retirement Plan. But anything. Anything works.

[Ken]

I was like, let's name it the C Man Account.

[Ryan]

CNN Retirement Fund.

[CJ]

Too good.

[Ken]

It's too good.

[Ryan]

It's perfect.

[CJ]

I just love it because now when people ask us that question, which we get a lot.

[Ken]

We've been getting that since, like, the day we started calling ourselves Sea Boys, or whenever people started calling us the Sea Boys, they're like, what happens when you get. Are you gonna become the Sea Man? And they always. My favorite part is they always think that they're the first people to say yes. They always think that they're, like, on something new.

[Mike]

And you hate to shoot them down sometimes because it comes from a good place. If they think that they've, like, have thought of something really funny.

[Ken]

Most time it doesn't come from that good of a place.

[CJ]

Yeah, but I also get where you. Yeah, like.

[Mike]

But you hate to just be like, oh, yeah, I've heard that a million times.

[Ken]

Yeah. So now. And it's always like an awkward rebuttal. It's like, what do you say? Back to it? So now it's like, actually, yeah, we have a retirement fund.

[Ryan]

You know, what's named our retirement fund is actually named that.

[Mike]

So does that. Oh, you know, we talked about earlier, it was like, when will you guys become the seamen?

[CJ]

That's 55.

[Mike]

65.

[Ken]

55. There we go. There is. There's the hard day. We've actually talked about that on this podcast before. Like, when are we going to change the YouTube channel name?

[CJ]

And it will be that. Oh, that'd be kind of fun, too. I think when we pull the retirement.

[Ryan]

Fund, that's when we'll change the name.

[CJ]

Yeah. And let's say across the board, you're right. But it is kind of funny, too, to think of. There's a certain age limit again, he said 55, but then 65. So, like, someone's going to pull it first. Right. We don't have to all pull at the same day at the same time. Right. So someone's going to be C Men before they can.

[Evan]

I am the oldest.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah, that's true also. But you don't have to be just.

[Ken]

For the record, Evan. Evan will be the first seaman.

[CJ]

I mean, if he pulls, it'll be.

[Ken]

The first seaman, right?

[CJ]

Because you don't have to pull it at 65, do you? Like, what if.

[Ken]

He'S going to be. He's going to be looking at it just like, can you imagine? Just like, give me, give me, give me.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Trying to get it before tab box opens up.

[CJ]

Like, I just love this shit. I'm going to wait till 69.

[Mike]

You never know.

[CJ]

Yeah, that's. That's exciting though. Like it really. It was like a very informative meeting for me. Like, I'm not too knowledgeable on investing and, and 401ks definitely. And I walked away like shit. Yeah, man. We got 401k. We got retirement, bro.

[Ryan]

I was so bored during that. I was so bored I couldn't even sit still.

[Mike]

I was like, once you get so much information thrown at you, it just kind of all starts to sound like.

[Ryan]

I was in school again.

[Ken]

Yeah. There's nothing like, like exciting about it at all. Yeah, nothing at all. Except for the fact that it's got a cool name.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

That's the only thing.

[CJ]

Well, no, about the cool name and the fact that we get to retire one day with money.

[Mike]

It's a good time. Glad we're getting done around here. Fridays have become that.

[CJ]

Yeah. Speaking of getting done, man, I feel like I've been letting you guys down a little bit. I live in Fargo, an hour away and I, I've been struggling, dude. I like, some days I get up early, some days I don't. And when I don't, it really hurts me. Obviously, like that hour drive, like that's not like my full excuse but like run a couple errands or you know, try to have a normal half hour morning routine. But like, I just feel like I. I'm getting here too late some days and I'm working on it. And today got up at 7:30.

[Ken]

Whoa.

[CJ]

Yeah. Which is earlier than normal.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

You know, fed the cat, put away laundry, put away dishes.

[Ken]

I still forget you have a cat.

[CJ]

Yeah. You know, and I have, I've been trying to have. Because you guys know how. Especially when I stay here, no morning routine at all. Like, actually that's what I started to evaluate in the last like couple of weeks. Literally no morning routine. Like, no. No even thought for breakfast, no even really thought for coffee. The only thought for coffee is like sick. Would that give me energy? But it's not like I should sit down and have. So anyway, I just did that and Then, like, I washed my Bronco, got gas, I went, Dropped off some parts at Red river, went to the bank. Like, I was right there. Yeah, I went and checked out my Subaru, which is done. You guys. Stupid.

[Ryan]

That's going to be.

[Ken]

What color did you end up painting it?

[CJ]

Yellow, but better. Yellow.

[Ken]

Perfect.

[CJ]

That's all I can say. The color, everything about it. So sick. The color is my favorite part. Seems insane.

[Ryan]

Are you bringing it tomorrow?

[CJ]

No, not.

[Ryan]

Not ready yet.

[CJ]

It's not quite yet. There's like a few other kinks to work out, but it basically. Like, I could show you pictures, but I. I just want to see it.

[Ryan]

We're going to a car show tomorrow morning, but that. That doesn't matter. Okay, keep going.

[CJ]

Yeah, but do that. You know, pay him and stop the liquor store.

[Ken]

How much was it?

[CJ]

I can't disclose that. Yeah, it's getting to the point where it's just like, embarrassing when you see it. You'll be like, sick. Oh, it's a show car. But, dude, I don't even want to disclose that. Like, it. I really don't.

[Ryan]

Are you gonna be able to drive the.

[CJ]

Yeah, that's what I. I asked them that. I asked them that. I was like, so, like, I'm still gonna be able to drive this? Because they were like, so, yeah, you got a place for storage and stuff? And I was like, well, it's like only August. I'm still gonna drive it. And they're like, well, yeah, just making.

[Mike]

Sure it's gonna be like, parked in a garage.

[CJ]

Yeah, they're like, oh, yeah, don't drive that.

[Mike]

Winter.

[CJ]

So that's a whole other thing. But do all this stuff. Couple other small errands in between, and next thing you know, I don't make it to the lake until 1:00. And I'm not joking. I was like drilling the whole way. Yeah, no, I didn't stop for food. I didn't stop for coffee. And I'm just like, dude, this sucks. But that was mostly like an errand thing. But I'm just like, just trying to get here in time. Got here in time for the 401k meeting. Here we are on a podcast, and when we're done with that, it's going to be 6:00.

[Ryan]

My morning looked like this every Friday. I can't sleep in, so I woke up at like 6:30.

[CJ]

Oh, that's right.

[Ryan]

In bed.

[Ken]

C.J.

[CJ]

Gets done editing videos and then wakes up early as heck.

[Ken]

Weird.

[CJ]

I think he would sleep like a.

[Ryan]

Program from the Day before. So anyways, I got up and I was just like sitting there and I started making some coffee. It was warming up the sauna and I was looking out the window and it was just glass. And then I saw my jet ski sitting down on the lift. I was like kind of eyeballing. I'm like, you know who hops on their jet ski at 8 in the morning and does a hot lap around the lake? Nobody. So I hopped on my jet ski and I did a full hot lap around the lake. I held it pinned and just did a full hot lap. I even took a little video. It's just terrible video. Doesn't matter. I'm not even going to show it. But it was pretty fun.

[CJ]

He's like, dad, you better not show it. That's about a 16 minute long video.

[Ryan]

Yeah, no, I just took a little snippet but. But yeah, that's what I did this morning. And then I came here and we did a bunch of meetings. But that was the most fun part of my day. And then I took my GTR out, took it for a hot lap around the, the area and yeah, it's been pretty fun day when checked out the drift track. The drift track, 95% done now. It's got the asphalt down. It's insane. I'm so excited to have you guys see this thing. It's fucking huge.

[Mike]

It is huge.

[Ryan]

It's. It's way bigger than any drift track I've been on. Like I go and I stand down it. I'm looking around like when you're sitting at the.

[Ken]

Or when you're standing at like the back side of it looking all the way out, like it just keeps going.

[Ryan]

It's nuts. It looks like, like you could take a picture and it looks like a dream drift track. It does because like you got the tree features and well that's my favorite.

[CJ]

Thing to your point is there's features. There's plenty of drift tracks that just are. They're well laid out drift tracks. But it has trees which is that, you know, that adds to it. But it has like three sections where you actually have to drift around full blown small forests. And then it has the burnout pad, the flat, the flat pad. And then it has a bank, has a literal bank, like a giant ass.

[Ken]

Berm that's asphalted, meant for like grinding potentially.

[CJ]

And you can like drift shit, drift it up.

[Ken]

But like I just pictured, I didn't even do that. I just picture the Miata like coming in hot and just like grinding the.

[Ryan]

It's going to be so sick.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Cars that you don't really care as much about. Yeah. That are tougher.

[CJ]

No, but yeah, just like. Yeah, the whole idea. And then we like. I can just see it again. This drift track's not just for drifting. Like we're gonna like have jumps set into the embankment.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I was thinking that like you could literally jump a raptor off of the bank.

[Ken]

True.

[CJ]

Yeah. But I mean, I just most excited for that, that it'd be a.

[Ryan]

Probably a hard landing. But like there's so many things that are going to happen here. The drift path, it's gonna be insane. But to go back slightly on my story, this is where I was going with the Jet Ski thing. When I was buzzing on the Jet Ski, just solo, I had to put a sweatshirt on because it was kind of cold.

[Ken]

I thought to myself, I was like.

[Ryan]

Just imagine you're one of these like people that live on the lake having coffee with your wife and just I come buzzing past her. Like I was really close to the docks too. I was just like, there's like.

[Mike]

On your jet ski.

[Ryan]

No, but just like imagine, just be like, what the hell? That, that's one of those seaboys. Like what do they do.

[Ken]

By himself.

[Ryan]

And does a full like what? You know, it's kind of funny if you think about it.

[CJ]

I. I've been, I have been thinking a lot about the whole like, oh, it must be so fun to just off all day, you know, you guys have fun.

[Ryan]

It was like the one time I've ever done.

[CJ]

I know. But then it's like, it's stuff like that, that. And I'm totally cool with this. Our Snap, like Snapchat is so fun. It's so fun to post snippets of the day and stuff that we don't make on videos. Evan's story the other day of when we were kind of gearing up our quads to. For the next video. Like it was just like me and Spenny and Dalton and Ryan just like riding quads around, like doing quad stuff. But it was like a good three minute long story. And everyone's just like, damn, these guys really don't do anything.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Just based on that. I mean, that's not actually true, but like, just based on that story.

[Ken]

Like, I woke up this morning and I haven't been staying at my house this last week. I've been at Greta's. Her like parents are out of town, so we've been watching her dogs.

[Mike]

Nice. Staying at your girlfriend's. Yeah.

[CJ]

Nice.

[Ken]

And yeah, it was like my first time being home in a while, but, like, my first time, like, having a little bit of time and just, like, walking around my house and just, like, putting stuff away that I've just been, like, walking over for the last, like, two months.

[Mike]

It's the best feeling. Takes three minutes. Why have I been doing this?

[Ken]

Dude, Straight up. And I, like, got my, like, house cleaned up for, like, the first time in a long time. I, like, was, like, walking out and I was like, damn, this looks good. Just do that a long time ago.

[CJ]

And. And you know what's interesting about that? Everyone is a culprit. Oh, everyone, Everyone.

[Ken]

I still do it with my office here, too. Like, I have. I'm looking at, like, three paintings right now that would take legit four minutes to hang up, and they have been leaning up against that wall for straight up. Two years.

[CJ]

Yeah. Well, then on another tangent, I thought about that too. Like, I'm trying to hang my play button up, like, out outside my office in the farm. But I know for a fact that I'm stupid enough that it's going to take me, like, 35 minutes to hang versus just five.

[Ryan]

Got to find.

[CJ]

But no, yeah, you make a good point. Like, I could walk in your office and subconsciously be like, damn, dude, this shit's been sitting there for so long. And then vice versa. You could walk into mine and say the same thing. Well, maybe worse.

[Ken]

Yeah, I just don't really care that much. I'm just busy. Everyone's busy with other shit. It's like, I don't. I don't really want to hang stuff up.

[CJ]

And prioritizing, I'm like, too. I'm too ADHD to, like, let myself take my mind off of it. You know, as soon as I let myself, like, I hang up one picture and I'm like, sick. This is kind of fun. And then next thing, you just throw out all the things you actually need to do out the window.

[Ken]

Dude, somebody's got a vacuum. These stairs.

[Mike]

I bought a vacuum.

[Ken]

Dude, somebody's got a vacuum.

[CJ]

It's been in the box down by the door for two weeks.

[Ken]

But, Ken, this one might be on you, brother, because I know where all those, like, little mulch chips are coming from. There. There's straight up a trail into your office. And then your office is like, a grenade went off in there.

[Evan]

Yeah, I paper shredded for like, an afternoon. And then. And then you just kind of made a mess.

[Ken]

And it's because you don't clean up your office. And then Pretty soon, every. All the paper shreds in your office just get everywhere else that you walk. Because how did get onto your shoes? And then. Yeah, you can just tell where Ken walks around here.

[CJ]

That was pretty funny. I did. And that's another thing. Like, it feels like something I should. It takes me legitimately four minutes, like you said. But I've been vacuuming at the shop because it still feels new when I vacuum. It sucks up a bunch of rocks and a bunch of hair, and I'm.

[Mike]

The best noise ever in the vacuum.

[CJ]

It really is. And then those stairs that your dad put in at the shop are just the most plush, wide, perfectly carpeted things ever. So I've been trying to keep them vacuum and.

[Ken]

Yeah. Shoes for a little bit.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Lasted about a week.

[Ryan]

I still, like. I try not to walk out on the wet gravel and then track it.

[CJ]

That's.

[Ryan]

I always use that little thing and, like, try to get my shoes clean.

[CJ]

So we're on gravel. We. We spent all our money on a drift track.

[Ryan]

It's true.

[CJ]

Our driveways are still gravel. We're building a new merch shop. You know what the biggest enemy of our merch shop is? I want you guys to think about this dust. And right now, obviously, full construction mode. It's very dusty in there. But seriously, you guys, like, every time we open the garage door, we risk, you know, getting dust in there. Is there a system. Is there a system that we can.

[Mike]

We could pick up the merch barn and put it somewhere else.

[Ryan]

I think we're just going to front some money. We're just going to have to front the money for the asphalt. That's the only. That's the only way.

[CJ]

What if we did this for, like.

[Evan]

Forklifts and all that stuff? It's going to have to be paved a little more than. Right.

[CJ]

Yeah. That is kind of what I'm getting.

[Ken]

So lame spending money on, like, a driveway. It's like, enough spending money on, like, the merch building.

[Ryan]

Let's make the driveway a little curvy. Then it can be a feature.

[Ken]

No, that. That is what this guy was just like. We're trying to put in a fucking.

[Ryan]

Trying to get to the shop now.

[Ken]

Now that the drift tracks done, we're laying out a quarter mile drag strip. Very difficult being that I don't even think we have a quarter mile strip of land. Yeah. Because we got, like, our building over here and then the driveway that comes in. Like, can you have a drag strip that has, like a building halfway through?

[Mike]

Yeah, that's like, right through.

[Ryan]

Goes off track and do a quarter through the building.

[Evan]

I don't know if we can do a quarter, but I think it'll easily be an 8th mile drag.

[CJ]

Wait, are you thinking, like, from the mailbox?

[Ken]

Yeah, I think we go just, like, right there and we straight through, though.

[Ryan]

It'd be sick.

[CJ]

It'll be so legit.

[Ken]

And obviously maybe put up, like, the little wall barricades.

[Mike]

The problem is, either way you go, the building is right in probably that second to third shift area where everybody spins out and crashes.

[CJ]

That's true.

[Mike]

That's where our building is.

[CJ]

Yeah, I think. And obviously that's like a. That's a huge point, actually.

[Evan]

Not only that, that's, like, where everyone parks.

[CJ]

Yes. I was gonna say, but if we.

[Ken]

Were to make like, a no parking.

[CJ]

Yes. If we were actually to build it there, we'd put signs up to say, if you park here, you get your nipple pierce. Like, no big deal.

[Ryan]

It's true, dude.

[CJ]

I love that idea. I actually love that. Having the straightaway be, like, straight through the whole, like, right next to the shop again.

[Ryan]

Hilarious. I'm down to get that rule in action.

[Mike]

Oh, man, I'm gonna have to start running again.

[Ryan]

Never got it. You still got a fresh nipple.

[CJ]

The funny thing is, dude, Ryan's gonna, like, run and be like, dude, I'm gonna be the fat, you know, best stamina ever. And then we'll just make a different challenge that has nothing to do with why.

[Ken]

Why running?

[Ryan]

I'll just go, either you or Evan.

[Ken]

Well, that's true. I actually got. I got him beat there. I can float. Yeah, his belly might weigh him down.

[CJ]

Speaking of, like, head to head action, there is that big hot dog. Oh, Monday. Live stream. Live stream. Yesterday.

[Mike]

Yesterday.

[Ryan]

At this point, you have it marked in your calendar, Mike, of course.

[Ken]

What? So who is it?

[CJ]

Joey Chestnut.

[Ken]

What are they doing?

[CJ]

I don't know.

[Ken]

Is he, like, really?

[Ryan]

I think they're having, like, a kobayash hot dog.

[CJ]

You know his name. What is it?

[Ken]

Hot dog eater. Right.

[Ryan]

That's the same name as our kit that's on the. Our Varys kamikaze kit on the gtr.

[CJ]

No, I know it is.

[Ryan]

Oh, I thought you said kamikaze.

[Mike]

That's a badass.

[CJ]

I did, I did, but I. Kobayashi. So yeah, they're head to head. Just those two. The cool part about that is I don't know. Honestly, I've never even heard of Kobayashi until he's the runner up. Yeah, I know. So I feel bad.

[Ken]

That's like, sucks, dude. You take second place in the hot.

[CJ]

Nobody knows.

[Ken]

Nobody knows.

[Evan]

So is Joey Chestnut just banned From Nathan's or is he just like, what was the deal?

[CJ]

I thought it was. Yeah, pretty much just Nathan's.

[Mike]

Do you have your computer?

[Ken]

Perhaps he's a privateer now.

[CJ]

Sure.

[Mike]

That's.

[CJ]

I think he dropping the ball. What do we even pay you for, man?

[Evan]

You don't.

[Mike]

I think what he did is he was like, listen, I can compete in this Nathan's thing, or I can catch a bag and then do this one off versus Kobayashi guy. That could touch him.

[Ken]

Is it Netflix?

[Mike]

Yeah, it's a Netflix special.

[CJ]

Netflix special.

[Mike]

God, it's pretty sick.

[Ken]

So pretty cool. Netflix is dabbling into the live.

[Mike]

The live event.

[Ken]

So they did like Joe Rogan, Tom Brady.

[Ryan]

Oh, Joe Brady Rose live. Yeah, Joe. Joe Rogan was live.

[Ken]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Mike]

Oh, really?

[Ken]

Yeah. Brady Rose, Jake Paul, Mike Tyson fight. That's. That's the first boxing live event. I want to say.

[CJ]

Yeah, I'd like to. Wow.

[Ken]

Wow. Netflix is like, what else should we do? How about.

[Ryan]

What a powerhouse.

[Ken]

What do people do more than watching a couple guys eat hot dogs?

[Mike]

Nothing.

[Ken]

Literally nothing better.

[CJ]

So I'd like to think, like, basically I just want you guys to like, make a guess on who's gonna win. And I like to think that most people watching this right now might not have seen that live. And it's probably out there. So I obviously have my vote on Joey Chestnut.

[Mike]

I was gonna ask. I'm just gonna listen to whatever you said. I'm going with like the frickin Shannon Sharp.

[Ryan]

I'm gonna. Yeah, I'm gonna go with Kobayashi. Because the reason why I'm going that way is just because I think Joey Chestnut, you know, he's been, you know, he's the. He's the champ. And I think he's been the champ for a long time. I think that, you know, he's not getting up on those early mornings to train like Kobayashi. You know, Kobayashi's probably getting up at 6am and slamming the hot dogs, you know, Whereas Joey Chestnut, sitting there in his silk underwear with the silk sheets in his mansion AC blasting.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Kobayashi, he's still hungry and he's feeding himself hot dogs to try. Yeah. Because he wants to be number one.

[Ken]

I was trying to do a little bit of research. Maybe that's not fair, but I wanted to see like, how many.

[Mike]

Is there, like ESPN stats on these?

[Ken]

Yeah. How many hot dogs Joey Chestnut ate last year?

[CJ]

What was it, 59, 50?

[Evan]

Is this a thing you can bet on?

[CJ]

I'm sure, bro. Get your book.

[Ryan]

Should we go to Vegas Yeah.

[Ken]

What are the stats so over under here? I don't know. I feel like he got a ride with the goat.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Mr. Chestnut.

[CJ]

But going back to what C.J. said, what does training actually look like? Actually, like, how do you train your stomach, your gag reflex, your taste buds? Yeah, you gotta Wonder to eat 60 hot dogs.

[Ryan]

I'd imagine you need to be somewhat in shape.

[Mike]

I think it's just an innate talent. Just like Steve will do. It could drink a whole bottle of vodka. I think it's just.

[Ryan]

But there's got to be so much.

[Ken]

Will to an extent.

[Mike]

That's what I mean.

[Ryan]

He says he can't do that anymore.

[Mike]

Really?

[Ryan]

He couldn' I think back then. Back then, he was hungry.

[Ken]

Steve, he just believed he could do.

[Ryan]

Anything, and he just wanted it. Steve, there's a huge difference between someone who wants it and someone who, like, he doesn't want it as bad. That's. That's honestly a huge difference.

[Evan]

So as of recording, Joey chestnut is minus 600.

[CJ]

Really?

[Mike]

So he's the favorite?

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Interesting.

[Ryan]

Let's go. Let's go to Vegas. I'll put some money.

[CJ]

Me not knowing what Kobe, how betting works. You're like, he's minus 600. I'm like, oh, damn, that's not good. He's negative.

[Mike]

No.

[CJ]

What does that mean?

[Ryan]

That means, like, you have. He's like, if you put money on him, like, you're not gonna get as big of a return.

[CJ]

So if I put a thousand bucks on him to win, I get 400.

[Ken]

So you would. Yeah, you would.

[Ryan]

You get 400.

[Ken]

Or if you put. If you put 600 down, you would win a hundred back. So 700.

[Evan]

But if you put a hundred dollars on kobayashi, you'd get 350.

[CJ]

I'm learning.

[Mike]

There you go. I mean, sounds like cj's got the money line.

[Ryan]

I'm down to go on Kobayashi.

[Mike]

I was looking and speaking of Vegas, quickly, I was looking into the sphere. The UFC fight there, it's like, two weeks, and I was like, it'd be cool to go. Like, you know, it's gonna be this, like, legendary event. And so I looked at seats in the very last row, and they're like 700 bucks. And I'm like, okay, it's about what I expected, but honestly, not that bad. And then quickly as you start advancing down, they start getting way more expensive. And the floor seats, like, probably where, like, Kyle and, like, friends of the UFC will sit, they were like, $46,000 per seat. And I have a hard time believing that. Many people that sit there are actually paying for those seats.

[Ken]

Dana White said he isn't giving a single ticket out really for that one.

[Ryan]

He's not a small venue.

[Evan]

The sphere is a one off event. They're not doing it again because ever MGM dispute.

[Ken]

Yeah, that kind of makes sense.

[Mike]

Well then we gotta go.

[CJ]

Seat wise it's actually that much smaller.

[Ken]

Mexican to go because it's the Mexican or what?

[Mike]

Sorry.

[CJ]

Anyway, Mexican Independence Day.

[Mike]

Mexican Independence Day. Yeah.

[CJ]

So seat wise it's. It seats so much smaller than a stadium.

[Ken]

It's not that much smaller.

[Evan]

I think it's still like around 20,000 or something.

[Ken]

I mean just look it up.

[CJ]

Damn. That's crazy though. Let's say you like Kyle from Nalcore, someone that got like tickets to every fight for free. You know he's there, he's posting about it. Oh by the way, your ticket's 46 grand.

[Mike]

That's pretty nuts. I mean they'll probably be like, well.

[Ken]

I got the last.

[CJ]

Yeah, I would look at it that way too but like you know, maybe.

[Mike]

They would got the last 300 grand worth of seats anyway. 18 to 20,000 people there.

[Evan]

It's gonna be an interesting venue to have it in because you know every other fight has people competing completely around the ring and this one, you know, I'm assuming it's gonna just be people on one side.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Evan]

So weird.

[Ken]

I'm very intrigued to see how they do that and then how they project it up onto the screen, up onto the bubble above. Like is it gonna just might be.

[Ryan]

Trippy for the fighters. Dude.

[Mike]

So I was kind of thinking like think if your corner you're kind of.

[Ryan]

Seeing yourself move and like kind of.

[Mike]

Yeah, there's something going on. Unless they like black screen the bottom of it for that reason. Could happen, you know like how they do for a home team and like the football games when the screens behind they just put up a black screen so you can't doesn't distract you.

[Ken]

What if they had like a live streamed like GoPro360 on one of the guys heads and then that was like. So you were watching it like as he was fighting. Did get knocked off seeing what he was seeing.

[Mike]

That'd be pretty cool.

[Ken]

But it's like just like a little.

[CJ]

I mean if it wasn't legit that'd be awesome. For real. That'd be like the coolest recreation ever.

[Ken]

Could be the future. Or you're wearing like a contact.

[CJ]

You ever played Wii boxing? It'd be just like that.

[Ken]

Yeah, that'd Be sweet. I'm going to the Sphere for Eagles concert at the end of the month. What?

[Ryan]

Oh, nice.

[Ken]

Yep. Really? Yeah. Greta's dad is like, a fan.

[CJ]

Hotel California is gonna.

[Ryan]

Ken, we're going.

[Mike]

Oh, my God, dude. Honestly, I'm kind of jealous. Can we come?

[Ken]

Yeah, I'm sure you guys can go.

[Mike]

I feel like I. I just. There were so many things we skipped over here to skirt around to the drift track. Seeing it skirt was so exciting. It actually sent. It was the crew that put the drift track together normally does highways. They were like, we don't do driveways or parking lots. We do highway. So they're like, this is kind of a unique job for us. But that's how much asphalt they laid. They needed the highway crew and the highway machinery to get it laid down.

[Ken]

It's pretty sick.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

I was even happier to see that they banged it out in one day.

[CJ]

One day. Like, keep in mind, not. Not like one. Like. Yeah, you guys, if you could be here early.

[Mike]

Early.

[CJ]

And we're gonna be here till evening. Dude. Eight hours.

[Mike]

Yeah, seven to five.

[Ryan]

Crazy. Asphalt was cool.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

I guess a little longer than eight hours, but still, they had the whole thing laid in one work day.

[Ken]

Dude, that was so hot. It wasn't even that hot out, but, like, can you imagine when it's like 95 degrees out and you're laying a.

[Mike]

Mile of asphalt and it's 7pm Friday.

[Ken]

But no, just like, oh, my God, Ryan, you said it, dude.

[Mike]

95 degrees, 7pm Fry.

[CJ]

Hell yeah.

[Mike]

DJF Glowrilla.

[Ken]

No.

[CJ]

So it was. It was 32 days. It would.

[Mike]

It would just be so. It would be awful. And it smells asphalty.

[CJ]

The smell was actually quite aggressive. Like, and then I said to my. In my head, I was like, if I did this all day, the whole asphalt smell would really throw me off a lot.

[Ken]

I think you probably just get used to it.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Like anything.

[Ken]

It's like being a dairy farmer.

[CJ]

One of my favorite part was it sprinkled a little bit. And then I walked outside of the shop and there was, like, water all over the track that was just, like, staying there. Kind of like it was beating on top of a car, but it didn't disappear. And the sun was shining down on it, and it was like, blinding. Like, this is black asphalt, but it was shining off of it. And I, like, couldn't even look at it. I was like, the track is lit.

[Evan]

So, Ben, like, off topic. But I don't know how much your tickets are costing, but when I'm in Vegas, the cheapest Eagles tickets are $2,300.

[CJ]

Whoa. Sounds about right.

[Ryan]

I wouldn't be surprised.

[CJ]

Oh, my God.

[Mike]

Wait until you're going to the Eagles, Ken.

[Evan]

No, like, I was just looking at ticket prices because I was like, oh, like, how much are these? And it was $2,300 is the cheapest ticket there.

[CJ]

But maybe he got them a while ago.

[Ken]

I better start listening to the Eagles and appreciate.

[CJ]

No, you really should. Yeah. Yeah, bro.

[Mike]

Dude, a Hotel California is going to be spiritual, though, which I.

[CJ]

Even when I. When I said that too, I was like, of course. I said, oh, you better enjoy Hotel California. It's the only song I know about the. From the Eagles.

[Ken]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to brush up.

[Mike]

On it on the Eagles.

[Ken]

I'm gonna be like, they standing there and he's gonna like, look over. I mean.

[CJ]

Without getting copyrighted, we're gonna check out a few really quick here. Take it easy.

[Mike]

Life in the fast lane. That's sick.

[Ryan]

A lot of good songs.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

No, I mean, they're the Eagles. Tequila Sunrise. I mean, someone's gonna be like, how did you not know this Eagle song? But there's not a. Not a ton.

[Evan]

I feel like for the sphere, it's about the music, but it's more so about the visuals.

[CJ]

Right.

[Evan]

Because the way that venue.

[CJ]

And then why else would they hire you too, if that wasn't the case?

[Mike]

What's up with you, too?

[Ken]

I kind of.

[Mike]

Are they like an industry? Industry plant. You know, they have a whole Apple music thing. Everybody's phone wonder that they're the first people to ever play who even.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I've never even listened to one of their songs.

[Mike]

Must be Matilda, probably.

[Ken]

I won't be surprised.

[CJ]

What is a YouTube song? Like, legit. Name a YouTube song right now.

[Mike]

I can't. But they're. They're probably pretty. Pretty popular.

[CJ]

I mean, I don't disagree with that.

[Evan]

But I think it's like older people.

[CJ]

Like, I'm going with it right now. Even before I read this. YouTube is an industry plant. I mean, that's an opinion, not a fact.

[Mike]

But and just putting it this way, that generally, anybody from that era, I would at least recognize one of their top songs. I. I don't recognize any of their top five.

[Ken]

You two.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah. Don't Stop Believing.

[Ken]

No, that's Journey.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah, sorry. Sweet Child of Mine.

[Ken]

That's. No, that's not.

[Evan]

Also not YouTube.

[CJ]

Welcome to the jungle.

[Evan]

That's also not you too.

[CJ]

Damn, dude, these guys suck.

[Ryan]

Welcome to the Jungle's lit.

[Ken]

Yes, it is.

[CJ]

I didn't recognize any of them. Sorry. You too. But you suck.

[Ryan]

Guns and Roses, dude.

[Ken]

So when you said Sweet Child of Mine, it brought back, like, a super bad memory. My brother was playing in sixth grade. He was in sixth grade, so I was, like, a wheeling. And he was playing the guitar in his cafeteria for the talent show. Right.

[Mike]

Sick.

[Ken]

And I was there running through the cafeteria. I hit a wet spot, slipped, hit my head, got a super bad concussion. Like, threw up.

[Mike]

Whoa.

[Ken]

Bad, bad, bad concussion. I just remember he was playing Sweet Child of Mine.

[Mike]

So you're, like, laying on the ground having, like, your war movie moment? Yeah.

[Ken]

Yeah. Oh, God, I hate that song.

[CJ]

Like, kind of a funny visual. But I also feel really bad for.

[Mike]

You, the fact that you got hurt.

[Ken]

Thanks.

[CJ]

It kind of makes me wish when I got a concussion in middle school that I would have had Sweet Child of Mine being live played by my brother.

[Ken]

I don't think it made the moment any sicker.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

How'd you get a concussion, dude?

[CJ]

I was like. There was this patch of ice just down the angled sidewalk, and we didn't really have recess anymore, but we get to go out for lunch. And I was, like, sliding, and then people would slide down it, and I'm like, dude, I bet I could slide while doing a 360.

[Mike]

So you just show you to do.

[Ken]

I think I still see you do.

[CJ]

That while, like, spinning a 360, which is very possible, very easy. But I slid, did a 180 and went.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, you went forward, not back.

[CJ]

Yep, forward. And just domed my head on the concrete. And my goose egg was so big. And I remember a bunch of, like, girls came up to me, and they were like, oh, my gosh, you need to get taken care of. You need to go to the doctor. We need to bring you to the school. Nurse this and that. And I was just like, oh, that was a badass. They're like, no, you literally have a horn growing out of your head instantly. And then that was like, when I. I guess I, like, learned what a concussion was. Was when they were like, you. You didn't even talk normal. Oh, you just, like, gibberish. Like, oh, I'm fine.

[Ken]

That's why CJ can't spell.

[CJ]

I can spell. We started this podcast with you wondering how to spell trillions.

[Ken]

I know, I suck it. I'm kidding. I'm joking.

[CJ]

Sorry, sorry.

[Ken]

Our. Our boy Spenny, he was on the last podcast, Shout Out Spenny, but he, like, cracked something in his elbow riding dirt. Bike.

[Mike]

Two weeks ago, mountain biking, of all things.

[Ken]

Oh, mountain biking.

[Mike]

Stupid dangerous sport. If you mountain bike, dude, are you trying to kill yourself?

[Ken]

It got, like, weirdly infected. So it got, like. It swelled up. His elbow. I bet you can probably see it in the last podcast.

[Mike]

No, it was two ago, and it wasn't as bad then.

[Ken]

It wasn't as bad, but it was, like, kind of swollen, right? And it basically, like, spread throughout his entire forearm and, like, even up a little bit.

[Mike]

But it was like he had, like, the Popeye arm.

[Ken]

The whole thing was swollen, like, damn near double.

[CJ]

The practice before he made that mountain bike crash, and then we, like. We didn't make him do anything, but we did all the trials. He's like, well, I'm here. Like, of course I got to do it. And we're like, yeah, whatever you feel, man. He did all that. Then he went to Nashville, raced his championship enduro race, did all that, had a weekend, then took first back here. Yeah, go. First go. And then came back here and had to do, like. Didn't have to, but did more stuff with us. And his elbow just kept growing bad.

[Ken]

He was just like, I think I'm going to just, like, go in after. And it was, like, the most Canadian kind of way to go about it. And I don't know if this is just how, like, the Canadians look at health care, but he was just like, I think I might, like, just go into the er. And I was like, right now? He was like, yeah, maybe, like, in a little bit, I might just go into the er. And I was like, that is kind of what the ER is there for. But I've never really heard of somebody just, like, so casual. At my convenience, I'm gonna just go into the er. Usually it's like, in America, you're just.

[Mike]

Like, if I'm not dying, I'm not going in, dude.

[Ken]

Yeah, but those Canadians are just, like, free health care. It. We got nothing else to do. Let's.

[CJ]

I guess I know. No idea how that part worked, to be honest. Now that. That makes sense, because he actually did that for two days before he did it. He's just like, yeah, dude, it's keep. It keeps getting bigger. Like, do you guys have a hospital around here? And like, yeah, yeah. I mean, we're not that out there. And then I was like, yeah, they're open pretty late. He's like, yeah, I might just go into the error. And I was like, you don't have to go into the er. We could just call tomorrow and get her Properly drained out. And then the next day came, and then we did wine night. And he's like, yeah, I really got to get this taken care of before.

[Ken]

I could not have helped it at all.

[Mike]

No.

[Ken]

Speaking of which, how funny was it when that table came up in wine night, like, sandwiched Ken and Evan? I kind of avoided that. And you kind of avoided it in the back.

[CJ]

That was in the back.

[Ken]

But, like, Ken Evans head at the ceiling of the limo and the table squishing.

[Ryan]

That was the most jackass thing, I think, that's ever happened on our channel.

[Evan]

Well, I was trying to protect the bottle of wine.

[CJ]

That was actually really funny, too, because I guess I was right next to Ken. Ken had that big, like, who knew they sold gowns of wine? Ken had the big jug of wine. Like, you could have just, like, chucked that anyway.

[Evan]

Yeah, well, no, I wanted to drink the wine.

[CJ]

I love why. I love that for you, and I love that you did that. We had so much wine.

[Ryan]

You could have grabbed another one.

[CJ]

You could have grabbed another one. And Ken, the whole. And I'm like, ken, dude, you. You can let go of the wine. Like, that's gonna break and stab you.

[Evan]

I don't know if you're holding it. It's not gonna break, but if you just let it fall, you're gonna get broken glass everywhere, and then you're gonna get cut.

[Ryan]

It just reminded me of a scene from, like, Jackass, the movie. Like, like, load everybody. People always go, oh, you guys like Jackass? No, no, not really. But that was. That was like. Oh, that was even the edit with the sound, I guess. That was so funny, dude.

[CJ]

I was trying to think of, like, okay, so knowing also Ryan was the driver, because the last one, you drove wild. And then we were like, dude, just, like, drive like you're trying to, like, just injure us.

[Evan]

Which there was a couple of points where I thought.

[Ken]

Is that what you told him?

[CJ]

Yeah, I told him that, drive like you're gonna injure us. And he did. And it worked. Well, no, no, it didn't work. But Evan beforehand was so terrified. I just love it. Anything out of his control. He was like, dude, things are gonna fly up. We can't have that in there because it's gonna fly up and impale us. We can't have that in here because it's gonna fly up and hit our heads. And I was like, bro, the worst that's gonna happen is the table is gonna fly up and hit you in the head.

[Ken]

Yeah. He made us throw out, like, The.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Cork screw.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

He was just like, that's gonna.

[CJ]

Yeah, that's gonna go flying and stab us in the face. And I was like, again, I love it. I'm never against safety, but I'm like, that's not gonna happen. For how many times. I hate to talk about him when he's not here like that, but for how many times he's been like, don't be a wuss. That's not gonna happen. I'm like, bro, that's not gonna happen.

[Evan]

And he was the one yelling at Ryan to drive it harder.

[CJ]

Yeah, yeah, that too.

[Mike]

From my perspective, I was not trying to kill you guys or injure you or do anything, but I was trying to drive crazy and make it entertaining. Especially from the outside of the vehicle. You get like, I hit the bump and I go, did we get some air?

[CJ]

And C.J.

[Mike]

Looks me, goes, no, but you know, keep doing it like you're doing good.

[CJ]

My boy was. You were whipping.

[Ryan]

So then you had one where I was fucking big.

[Mike]

I kept turning it. And then everybody in the back said, ah, Brian, Brian. I. I see him flying around in the rear view, but I can't really tell. I just hear screams of agony. And you look around and everybody's red. And I go, I don't know if there's blood, you know, anything like that. And then every time I come up to the jump, only one person is yelling words. Everybody's screaming, but one person is yelling words. And it's Evan. And he goes, faster, faster, faster. And I go, is he speaking for the group? Does everybody want me to go faster? Then I see the footage of the table literally sandwiching your guys heads.

[Ryan]

Damn, that was crazy. It's a good thing that table wasn't heavier.

[Mike]

I know, that's what I mean. So then I was like, damn. Okay, I think we found a nice limit.

[CJ]

[Ryan]

Oh, that was perfect.

[Mike]

Evan still said we didn't jump the limo because all four wheels weren't off the ground.

[Ryan]

I don't know if you could ever jump the limo. Like, it'd have to be a 45ft long. Ever, dude.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like, you're gonna be landing the front tires while the back still about to take off. Yeah.

[Evan]

Thing also weighs 15,000 pounds.

[Mike]

It's like that thing is.

[Evan]

There's gonna be a lot to get that thing off the ground.

[CJ]

I've gotten more airborne in the back of a bus going to school than that.

[Mike]

However, the ceiling was low.

[CJ]

Low ceiling was where we all.

[Ken]

Man. Did you guys used to have like, an alternative bus route that had like, a bumpy spot that like, the bus driver would Friday?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

And then you sit in the back on purpose and you get the big bump.

[Mike]

Dude, I had the big bump right outside Audubon that you hit with your cars, and they all scraped. That was on my bus route that's been there, dude. So every day you hit that.

[Ken]

What? I'm surprised that's there.

[Ryan]

Yeah, some bumps they can't do anything about, like, keeps forming.

[CJ]

I don't believe that. But also, I'm not saying that.

[Mike]

I told you, dude.

[CJ]

You're just the bearer of bad news.

[Evan]

They can fix it. It's just an incredible amount of money to fix. Fix it.

[Ryan]

I think it's the ground.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Evan]

So they have to, like, tear everything up, redo it.

[Mike]

I was just talking to some kids last night, and they were like, oh, we have to ride the bus because, like, our mom can't pick us up this year. And I was like, dude, are you kidding me? The bus is the best. Sometimes it'll get stuck on the way to school.

[Ryan]

Hang around with your friends.

[Mike]

Yeah, you get to hang out with your friends.

[CJ]

The bus isn't the best unless you're with your friends, which my bus was just full of a bunch of people that were my friends.

[Ken]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Mike]

I had a bunch of really bad kids on my bus. They taught me the meaning. Well, they taught me the alternative meaning of a bundle of sticks, if you're familiar with that terminology. And they said it was the fall. And they said when you're picking up sticks, call them that word. And so I did. And I got mouth in my soap or soap in my mouth.

[Ryan]

Huh?

[CJ]

Yeah. Mountain myself, dude.

[Ryan]

It's funny, though, because back when, like, you probably would have said that word, it would have probably been so much.

[Mike]

More acceptable to say it was moderately bad.

[Ken]

It was just like.

[Ryan]

It was a derogatory term.

[Mike]

But, like, I was in, like, second grade or first grade saying a swear word.

[Ryan]

You know, in elementary school, middle school, even. Like, in even high school, like, you would use, you know, the R word. Obviously the bundle of sticks word. You know, they're not obviously swear words, but they're just, like, bad words. They're, you know, nowadays it's like, that's just not cool to really say. Yeah, but isn't it weird how much you used to say that? Like, you just call your friend it, like. Like as. Like. And you could say that in the class. You could say it really anywhere. But now it's just different.

[CJ]

They used to say that, like, on Nickelodeon.

[Ryan]

Yeah, honestly, like, I get why. Why it's not cool to say. Yeah, like, especially the R word.

[Mike]

Anyway, sorry, Bad news on the bus. Dude, I wonder what those kids are doing. Yeah, I probably wouldn't recognize them, but one of them had a chipped tooth. He saw.

[Ryan]

I think he still has his chip tooth. Probably.

[CJ]

Probably bus.

[Mike]

He's fun, Tommy. A lot of bad things. It was cool.

[Ken]

I lived.

[Ryan]

Wait, you had a kid with a chipped tooth that went to your private school?

[Mike]

No, that was when I went to.

[CJ]

Okay, so bad about that.

[Ryan]

I'm just. I mean, runner.

[Ken]

We had dental coverage.

[CJ]

Not incriminated for that.

[Ryan]

No, it's just if you have your permanent teeth chipped, the only reason you have it probably chipped and not fixed because you don't have a lot of money. So if you're going to a private school, those two things that don't line up, that's why I was just like. Hold on.

[CJ]

That is very true. No, that's an oxymoron.

[Mike]

I chip my tooth. Tooth twice.

[CJ]

Chip tooth. Kid going to Private school is an ox.

[Ryan]

That wouldn't make sense. That wouldn't make sense.

[CJ]

That's true. Because the amount of money it cost to fix a chip tooth is nowhere near what it costs to go to.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I mean it. Yeah.

[Mike]

One of our friends sent us a gift. I. I'm gonna go grab it for you guys.

[Ken]

Okay. It's in a bag.

[Mike]

All right. I truly have no idea what's in this bag, but our vintage plug ec. Vintage. So shout out to him.

[CJ]

Yep, this will be good.

[Mike]

Okay. To the real biker and Sturgis men. You need to fit in.

[Ken]

Hey, speaking of which, Ken, did that girl ever call you from that watched your moped?

[CJ]

She commented on the video.

[Ken]

Really?

[CJ]

You guys see that?

[Ken]

Yeah, I gave her. I gave her his number.

[CJ]

Oh, good.

[Evan]

If she did. My phone auto blocked it.

[CJ]

Nice. That's savages. F, bro. And I respect you.

[Ryan]

She commented on the vid.

[Mike]

It appears to be a bunch.

[CJ]

I like this vintage. This is true vintage. Like 90s to early size. Thousands.

[Mike]

I'm not sure.

[Ryan]

Am I able to get one?

[Mike]

Yeah, I think he said they were for everybody, and he said he was just gonna. Oh, this one is for Evan.

[CJ]

Born to ride.

[Ryan]

Sturgis. Sturgis 94. Same year he was born.

[Mike]

Even got the authentic. Maybe not bleach stains. Oh, this one's for me.

[CJ]

Dude, these are crazy.

[Mike]

These actually are kind of sick. I didn't know what they were going to be, so it was. It was just a shot in the dark. We don't know.

[Ryan]

That's cool. That's cool. I'll take one, dude.

[Mike]

Oh, this one's cj.

[Ryan]

Why me? He literally said it's for me.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's got your name on it.

[CJ]

Look at the back.

[Mike]

That's pretty sick.

[Ken]

Oh, it's a.

[Mike]

Obviously.

[CJ]

This is for you, bro.

[Mike]

That's an extra large.

[Ryan]

I'll take it. Dude, that's awesome.

[Mike]

Oh, this one's yours, Benny.

[Ken]

Let's go.

[Mike]

Oh, this one's sick, dude. Actually, this one goes pretty hard. It's got the twin towers. Wait, this is actually quite razy. It's because they did the freedom.

[CJ]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Printed no there.

[Mike]

No, they're actual true vintage, which is kind of spiel. Anyway, now we got some real Sturgis gear.

[Ryan]

Let's go.

[Mike]

That one's actually sick.

[Ryan]

They're all sick.

[Mike]

So shout out to our vintage plot.

[Ryan]

Actually wear that.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Still need to get a Harley.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

You still buzzing on?

[CJ]

I've been pretty heavy on Facebook Marketplace.

[Ryan]

I'm just looking for you. Just looking for A deal.

[CJ]

Looking for a diner.

[Ryan]

I'm, like, scared to get one just because there's, like, this guy.

[CJ]

If anyone has worked up, will bully me if anyone has this.

[Ken]

If anyone has, like, smaller.

[CJ]

But yeah, I'm pretty worried about him, too. If anyone has a stunted Dinah under 10,000, hit me up dollars or miles. And don't f around. Okay, like, just give me. Give it to me for what it's worth. $10,000.

[Ryan]

You need one, Mike? I'd be sick, dude.

[CJ]

Yeah, I'm trying to. Like, there's a few. There's a few around here.

[Ken]

Another bike?

[CJ]

Yeah, dude, I need another bike.

[Ken]

I got this Gold Wing.

[CJ]

The Gold Wing's sick. But, like, I can't stunt.

[Ryan]

Have you wrote it yet?

[CJ]

Yeah. Do we.

[Ryan]

You wrote it back to Fargo and back?

[CJ]

Well, it's not insured, so.

[Mike]

No, I wrote it on the track.

[CJ]

How was it? Dude, it's. It's like Cadillac.

[Ken]

It's insane.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah. So for those of you.

[Ken]

The Rolls Royce of motorcycles.

[CJ]

Dude, it's like. It's actually the comfiest motorcycle ever.

[Mike]

Someone told me something ever. Brandon told us me that the. The Gold Wing chassis is actually built off of a racing slash stunt. Like, I would assume more racing instead of stunt, but that's why they ride so good for their large size.

[CJ]

My. And my favorite part is that the motor, it kind of like, feels like a Honda car. Like, when I'm, like, really get into it, you know, it's like, carbureted. It's old. When I really get into it and let off, it goes like, whoa, I got a little VTEC going on here. I don't. I don't know what motor they have, but.

[Evan]

So what was your reasoning to buy.

[CJ]

That I just had money burning a hole in your pocket, and money was burning a hole in my whole outfit.

[Mike]

Not just the pocket.

[CJ]

Yeah, No. I really don't know. But luckily we're having fun. I got a gold wig now. You don't. You have electric car.

[Ken]

It's got you there, Ken.

[Evan]

He does.

[CJ]

You don't even have a motorcycle. I have. I have six.

[Evan]

I had a papio.

[Ken]

What happened to it?

[CJ]

Wait. Yeah, what happened?

[Evan]

One we gave away.

[Ken]

No, it's not.

[CJ]

No, it's not.

[Evan]

Oh, it's not.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

That shows how much he cares about motorcycles.

[Evan]

Just took insurance off of it, so.

[CJ]

Oh, well, that. I mean, that was good because I take that off.

[Ryan]

Mine too.

[Ken]

I need to take mine off, too. I haven't rode it.

[Ryan]

Like, 38 bucks a month.

[CJ]

That's Pretty funny. Yeah, I actually, like. I actually took mine off too, because I, like, ride it more like a dirt bike, but I just put it on the gold wing. 35 bucks a month to ensure that.

[Ken]

I think I personally insured the chopper and the side cart. Harley should probably take those off. The chopper doesn't exist anymore.

[Mike]

Being sitting in the barn.

[Ken]

Yeah, probably check that out.

[CJ]

Well, I guess the. The last thing is I'm getting engaged.

[Ken]

Congratulations, brother.

[Mike]

Announcing it just like that, brother. How you feel?

[CJ]

I feel, like, beyond excited.

[Mike]

You nervous?

[CJ]

Equally as nervous.

[Ryan]

You think she'll say yes?

[CJ]

Yes, I do.

[Mike]

Well, that's good.

[CJ]

I really do. I really am just, like, stressed, like. You want it to be perfect, man.

[Mike]

Yeah, of course.

[Ryan]

So you are stressing a little.

[CJ]

Yeah, I have a cold sore, which comes back when I get stressed. And then I got really stressed out for the merch drop that went live last week, and it, like, went full blown. And then I'm like, this is not what I need right now. You know, I gotta take pictures soon, and I'm worried it's gonna come back out again. But, yeah, I'm like, stress in a good way, man.

[Ryan]

I. I can never pick up on you when you're stressed. But no, to fill the. The listener or the viewer in, Mike shot us a text this morning in a group chat, and we. You still haven't asked. Keep in mind, you still haven't asked Sydney as this listening as of this moment.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

The reason we can talk about is because you will ask her tomorrow.

[CJ]

This podcast goes live Tuesday. Plan is to ask her tomorrow from.

[Ryan]

Filming this so we can do that. But you, like, told us the news and everything. I didn't know you were going to do it, but not. Not surprised at all.

[CJ]

For anyone who had bets out there as to who the first one would be, I don't think there's that many people who are betting on it, but, like, people have asked us for a long time.

[Mike]

You were definitely a favorite.

[Ken]

Is there a money line on.

[CJ]

You were definitely, like, negative 400, so I guess yes. So I'm kind of putting this out there because Jake calls me today and he's like, yo, congrats, man. Just let you know I lost money on you.

[Ryan]

Who do you think was going to do it?

[CJ]

He thought Ben was going to be the first one.

[Mike]

Yeah, I would say Ben.

[Evan]

I thought it was pretty even off.

[CJ]

Ton between you and Tony. Uncle Tony.

[Ryan]

I had my money on you, Mike.

[Ken]

Wow, there is actually money lines out there.

[CJ]

Yeah. Yeah. So that's why I was Wondering if there was like anyone else out there. It. They're going to be local, you'd think. But Jake also had his money on you. Or maybe, I don't know. But anyway, Jake lost.

[Ryan]

Can you tell us like, how we're gonna. How you're gonna do it or are you trying to keep that private?

[CJ]

I can. I'm gonna do it at. On the point, the beach where we hang out. Where the. The water skips go down where. Where the boat days go down.

[Ryan]

Perfect, dude.

[Ken]

I figured that's. That's. That is the best spot for sure.

[CJ]

The most paradise spot in my opinion in the world. And that's no other place I'd want to do it.

[Ryan]

Have you asked Randy yet?

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Okay. What'd he say?

[CJ]

He said yes.

[Ken]

He said no, but I'm still gonna say yeah.

[CJ]

I mean, how could you not be nervous? We were on the pontoon.

[Ken]

Just YouTube.

[CJ]

Yeah, let's take pontoon ride. And I asked him and he's like, of course, you know, I love you, I love her. I love you guys together. And that was, you know, kind of it. We talked about it for longer. I won't get into the nitty gritty of it, but yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

That's awesome.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Do you think she has any inkling that you're going to do it this week?

[CJ]

That's actually a great question, Ken, which I'm so worried about because, yes, she does. You guys know me. I just like, am not timely on things. So I'm like, I'll do it. I'll do it this summer. And then the summer flies by and I'm like, last week in the summer, literally the 31st is tomorrow. And I was like, I'll do it this summer.

[Ryan]

When we were talking, the reason I went on my phone is I checked the cameras to make sure she wasn't here. I was. I know I might be down, but.

[CJ]

You'Re in the guys. There's so many moving parts also. There's not like. It just is what it is. It's pretty simple. Like.

[Ken]

Yeah, you just want it to be like, special though. And you don't really want a genuine reaction.

[Mike]

You don't.

[Ken]

You don't want somebody else to it up. Yeah, yeah, I get that.

[CJ]

So I have a. I have young boy. He's shooting the photos tomorrow.

[Ken]

So what, you're gonna have him wearing a ghillie suit in the woods?

[CJ]

Yes. Could you guys tell me where that is, please?

[Ryan]

Probably.

[CJ]

I've been looking. I've been looking. I can't find it. I know we have a ghillie.

[Mike]

You happen to be walking out of the dock, and she sees Dalton crouched over in a ghillie suit.

[CJ]

Yeah. I don't know. He asked if we had a ghillie suit, and I'm like, yes, we do. And then I'm like, damn, well, you don't need that. I'm like, wait, I was telling other people. And they're like, well, if she sees.

[Ryan]

Him in Achilles suit.

[CJ]

No, but if she sees him at all, like, it's kind of gonna be weird.

[Ryan]

Well, what if he just looks like he's hanging out with the friends? Because, I mean, he is our friend. He'd be hanging out.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh, okay. Yeah. When you texted and said, like, the thing, I wasn't sure if we were.

[CJ]

All supposed right after.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I see. Okay.

[CJ]

Yeah. So, like, I'm trying to find that ghillie suit, and I wonder if it's.

[Ryan]

At our storage unit that we store the cars at. It might be on one of those racks.

[Mike]

Could be.

[CJ]

Yeah. I gotta check.

[Ryan]

It looks like it's in a sleeping bag. For reference, it's a green bag, and it looks like it's a sleeping bag, but it's not.

[Evan]

I think all the costumes and everything are in the.

[CJ]

I looked it. I gotta look for that. Yeah. It's just so many moving parts, and I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do it without, like, telling.

[Mike]

Like, giving up on your body.

[CJ]

I genuinely don't.

[Ken]

Do you have the ring?

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Here.

[CJ]

It's my bronco.

[Ken]

Get it.

[Mike]

Was it bad luck for us to see it before? Is it?

[Ryan]

I don't know. I don't know. I just want to see it.

[CJ]

I'd rather you see it on her finger.

[Mike]

All right, there you go.

[Evan]

That's fine.

[Ryan]

That's fine.

[CJ]

But next podcast, I'll steal it from her. We can show it.

[Ken]

I don't know if that's how that works.

[CJ]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Mike]

I need to take it on a media tour.

[Ken]

Yeah. Ring to work.

[CJ]

You know what's funny? I got it from the same place you guys all get your Rolexes from.

[Ryan]

They give you a deal because of it.

[CJ]

Yeah, they did.

[Ken]

Good.

[CJ]

Shout out. Gunderson's in Fargo. That's where I got it. But it was so funny. I was there, and then I worked with the same girl that I guess maybe you guys all do, but she's like, yeah, I get all the guys their Rolexes, and she's trying to sell me on a Rolex. I'm like, all right, I'm kind of.

[Mike]

Spending money on something else here today.

[Ken]

It's usually the other way around. Usually every time that we're in there, she's trying to get us on the ring, obviously.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Hasn't had the best luck with it, but.

[CJ]

No, she helped a lot. I helped out a lot on that. But it was funny because I was like, I'll come back and buy a ring, but I almost slipped up because of that. Well, not that that would have mattered because, like, you guys would talk about her, and then, oh, yeah, I stopped in there or whatever.

[Ken]

When did you get it?

[CJ]

Two months ago.

[Ken]

Oh, I've really been procrastinating. Holy.

[CJ]

Yeah. Hey, you. Where the.

[Ryan]

You keeping this thing?

[CJ]

In my office.

[Ryan]

Okay. I was gonna say it hasn't been the whole time, dude. Like, you can't be. I'm sure it's not cheap.

[CJ]

Oh, you always.

[Mike]

You talked to me before, which was good. I'm glad. I would have kind of been sad if I found out right now.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Or this morning via text. No, but once you told me, I was like, I can't wait till he does that. Because, like, you know, it's just, like, the.

[Ryan]

The.

[Mike]

A little bit of stress that we all carry now. You're like, you know, can't wait for this moment to happen. You don't want to slip up.

[Ryan]

It is pretty sick. Like, is like, you know, we're all. We're all tied. Like, we're all, like, pretty much brothers here, but you guys are legally brothers now. Like, which is sick. Like, it's pretty cool that you guys are, like, family now. Family.

[Ken]

Congrats.

[CJ]

It was congrats, my brother, when your Brian said he's like, I love you, brother. And then I was like, in, like, the most cringy way ever. I looked him in the eyes, I was like, like, I love you too, brother.

[Ken]

Legit.

[CJ]

And then I was like, neither of.

[Ken]

You guys have had brothers.

[CJ]

Yeah. But it was. I was like, whoa. For the longest time, wanted you as my brother in law.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Obviously hoping that everything worked out, but I was like, whoa, you guys are related?

[Ken]

Me and CJ are related by choice there, though. You know, me and CJ were just. Well, I was stuck with him, but.

[CJ]

He'S still stuck, for the record.

[Ken]

That's true. Ryan is like, believe me, I didn't have a choice.

[Ryan]

It is. That is honestly, like, so cool. Like, obviously, we. We, like, used to crack jokes and stuff just because we crack jokes about literally everything. But, like, honestly, that is cool that you're now brother in law with your friend.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Like, honestly, like, I knew Ryan.

[Mike]

I make Christmas way easier.

[CJ]

I knew Ryan before, like, all you guys like Ryan.

[Ryan]

That's true.

[CJ]

Ryan is like the bread and butter to. To me with you guys. Obviously, Jake was also that. I don't know. I don't know why I have the need to shout him out, but, like, he left, so it's Brian, and that was his.

[Ryan]

Mike's. Mike's gonna shout out Jake at his wedding. Like, yo, I just want to, like.

[Ken]

Give a shout out.

[CJ]

That was really awkward.

[Ryan]

I know. I'm brother in law with Ryan. Honorary mention to Jake.

[Ken]

Straight up, though, Jake. But, like, you left, dog. Just kind of. You left, you know? So shout out Ryan.

[Mike]

Sticking with me, Ken. Dude, how wouldn't you. How are you and Evan gonna get related now? Everybody's got to be entertained.

[CJ]

Yeah. How do you. How do you feel in general, Ken?

[Evan]

I think Evan and I might have to be the odd ones out and just. Just stick.

[Ryan]

Not get married. Oh, I totally. I thought you were going a different way.

[CJ]

I think you. You and Evan should become cousins too.

[Ryan]

How could you do that?

[Evan]

Maybe you could does have a sister.

[Ryan]

She's married, though.

[Ken]

She's married.

[Mike]

Well, I can fix that, but geez, she's happily married.

[Ryan]

She also listened to this podcast, bro.

[Ken]

And we all know damn well, Ken, if she was in the room right now, you would not say that to her face.

[Mike]

I'm too nice.

[Ken]

But yeah, well, we'll probably see her and her husband at 80s.

[Mike]

Yeah. Two short days before. Now he's just like, it's gonna be fresh in their mind.

[CJ]

Dude.

[Ryan]

Honestly, she's got a great sense of humor.

[CJ]

The best part is, is that, like, so do we, and so does Ken. Ken's a dog, but he's. He's also a jokester man, but he's not our mayor.

[Ken]

Yeah, but he's more of a mom chaser, to be fair. Like, you know, like, she doesn't. Or he doesn't have much to worry about because, like, she. They don't have any kids.

[Evan]

I forgot about that.

[Ken]

Yeah. So, like, Ken's. Ken's more of a mom.

[CJ]

Ken forgot. He wasn't.

[Mike]

He was about to say something else, and then he went. I bet she listens too.

[Ryan]

Damn.

[Ken]

Oh, you were gonna say you're going straight for the source.

[CJ]

I mean, how do you buy it?

[Ken]

Go about buying a ring, dude, a.

[CJ]

Lot of work is it actually, if anyone's wondering, like, she was involved in that.

[Ryan]

She knows what it looks like already. So, you know, I think that's smart.

[CJ]

Pick some styles and then I do. Yeah. Dude, it's. It's so stressful because it's like, if you're gonna spend as much as I did on a ring, you want it to be right.

[Mike]

Yeah, exactly.

[Ken]

100. And I think that's more common than not.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

And that's what I thought it was like.

[Ken]

But the thing is, dude, which. Okay, so I made the mistake of telling Greta, like, two weeks before I gave her her moped, that I was like, hey, just make sure that you're. You're free, like, Or. No, no, I didn't say that. I was just like, hey, what are you doing next Tuesday? It was, like, so out of character for me to even ask, like, that far in advance. She was immediately red flagged.

[Mike]

So to get her name.

[Ken]

No, no, no. She didn't think that I was gonna propose.

[Mike]

Oh.

[Ken]

But, like, she just wouldn't drop it. That, like, something was happening and I was. And it just got to the point where I was just like, babe, you gotta, like, you're kind of, like, ruining this. I was like.

[CJ]

Like, where you almost told her.

[Ken]

Yeah, I was just like. I was just like, you are, like, digging way too deep into this. I was like, you're getting your hopes up. And she was like, I know it's not like a proposal, but, like, I don't know what it is. Like, is it a Tesla? And I'm like, a Tesla. Everything that you're throwing out now is gonna just make it so lame when I just come out with this, like, little moped. I'm just like, just stop. Just stop. Yeah.

[CJ]

So funny.

[Ken]

I, like, told her. I was just, like, straight up. I'm not sure if I trust you enough to go and look at rings. Because I know from, like, the second that we get walk out the door, every little move I make, you're gonna just be hounding me of, like, oh, when is it? Why are you shampooing your hair? Or like, something like that, Where I.

[Mike]

Was like, oh, you're dressed nice.

[Ken]

I kind of want it to be, like, more of a surprise.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

You know, and you know me, I love surprises.

[Mike]

Right.

[Ken]

That was my first like, little kind of feeler of like, how she would take, like, a surprise and she was just, like, hounding me.

[Mike]

It's pretty funny. It was funny that we're a little over a year out of the prank that you kind of pulled on me, but kind of on you. I'm not really sure who. The prank.

[CJ]

Yeah. You know What? That's funny.

[Ryan]

Jake, I'm glad to see you.

[Ken]

Dude.

[CJ]

Jake just rolled up looking like a short bus student. But basically, Ben, to your point, that's gonna happen.

[Ken]

We're all get hounded because. Okay, yeah, yeah. So like, when did you guys go and look at them?

[CJ]

Yeah, like two months ago.

[Ken]

Oh, two months. Okay, I got you.

[CJ]

But I just gotta say.

[Ken]

So then like every little.

[CJ]

Yeah, yeah. Where they're just like, like, guys in general don't ask questions you don't want the answer to.

[Mike]

And also.

[CJ]

But then guys in general don't ask questions anything.

[Ken]

Haven't known for eight years.

[CJ]

And girls don't want to know.

[Ryan]

I don't even know that guy over there.

[CJ]

And girls will ask questions shamelessly to the things they want the answers to, and they'll also ask questions to the things they don't. They don't want the answer to. So the questions will be asked all the time.

[Ryan]

That's gonna happen when you hang with a girl, Ben.

[CJ]

And I don't mean that, and I don't think that's a bad thing. I'm just saying it's gonna happen. So it depends. And you're obviously the king of what? Lying? Not lying. Thank you.

[Ken]

Me.

[Ryan]

Dude, just gaslight the out of her when she asked. When she asked when. When are you gonna propose to me? You say, I don't know. When are you gonna propose to me? Flip it on them. That's all you gotta do. Just like a mirror.

[CJ]

I love that so much.

[Ryan]

It's like a mirror.

[CJ]

We'll leave you with that. We'll leave you with that.

[Ryan]

That is the Ken method. You could do a class on it. The Uno reverse cards.

[Mike]

Oh, well, I'm excited for you, brother.

[CJ]

You want to get on here and say like any. Any goodbye words? All right, well, Jake just rolled in. He's gonna. He's gonna tell you guys to F off.

[Ryan]

Look pretty cool in that helmet.

[Evan]

I'm not gonna lie. I feel incredibly cool. When I put this on, I was like, damn. I knew why CJ felt like such a badass.

[Ken]

Me and Greta were watching the Sturgis video, and Greta legit goes, how come everyone's wearing those. Those helmets? And I was like, well, because you have to wear a helmet. She was like, you guys know how stupid you look, right?

[Evan]

No.

[Ken]

And I was like, excuse me? I was like, these are actually like better looking helmets than most. And she was like, that's really unfortunate.

[Evan]

What?

[Mike]

Damn.

[Ryan]

Surprise.

[Ken]

She was saying that.

[Ryan]

Me too.

[Ken]

I know. I was like. I was like, Kind of like. Like what? They're not bad. And she was like, okay. I didn't mean to like, yeah, you look cool, Jake. I think you look. Sorry about that, guys.

[Evan]

I'm not gonna lie. When I put this on, I was like, dang, I wonder where they got this, because I kind of want to order one because I think it's just, like, a vibe.

[Ken]

You know what, though? But when you did get here, Mike did say Jake looking like he just rode the short bus here.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Well, did you really? Yeah, like, right before I got here.

[Ken]

No, when you guys were pre.

[Evan]

Talking.

[Ken]

No, Mike was actually talking right before you walked in.

[Evan]

Fill me in. What was he talking?

[Ken]

Oh, he was just like, yeah, Jake. I was gonna give him a shout out at my wedding, but he left us.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah, I will say that, dude.

[CJ]

I did say short bus.

[Ryan]

No, you did say the honorary mention part, though.

[Evan]

Micah, I literally shouted you out.

[CJ]

Yeah, but I was trying to have a sentimental moment with Ryan, and I couldn't help but you shout out, jake.

[Evan]

You gave up your seat. Get out of here. This is my side now, bro. No, I will say, of all people, though, anytime Micah, like, we're all hanging out. He's introducing. He's like, yeah, this is Jake. And he left us and just makes it really awkward. I'm like, bro, you can't just go about it like that.

[CJ]

He is pretty blunt.

[Evan]

Yeah, he's just like that. He just goes and does other Micah stuff, and he's like, so, what was that about? And then I gotta go through this whole story for 30 minutes. It's with some guy I just met.

[Ryan]

What?

[CJ]

That's not an.

[Evan]

It happened last weekend.

[CJ]

But that does happen.

[Evan]

Yeah, quite often it does.

[Mike]

I just say that you're my sunglass plug. All right, guys, I gotta go to the bathroom. Appreciate you guys.

[CJ]

Appreciate you guys.

[Mike]

I'm proud of you.

[Ken]

Found out that's all he is.

[CJ]

That's all I am. It's just like, this is just my sunglasses.

[Ken]

I walked in.

[Evan]

Yeah, literally, I came in to hang out with you guys for the weekend. Like this dude. Socks, blah, blah, blah. Wearing a helmet. What else is going on? I'm glad I had this.

[Ryan]

Those things aren't protecting.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

You see the drift track?

[Evan]

Yeah, I did. Oh, my God. You guys done? We got so much to talk about. Okay, give me, like, five minutes here. We're firing the pod back up. Mike, sit down where Ryan left. Dude, he. I'm just a plug to him, so get in on this. Okay, so the drip track is done. You guys have no idea. The amount of times here.

[Ken]

Maybe turn Jake's mic down a little.

[Evan]

I can stand back.

[Ryan]

There you go right there.

[Evan]

The amount of times I have driven by ever since I originally pulled in.

[Ryan]

Three times a day, every time I go by.

[Ken]

Yeah, we're putting up a gate.

[Evan]

Are you. Are you, like, give me my own code, right? And it just takes hundreds, like, every time.

[Ken]

That's actually a good idea.

[Evan]

Yeah. Like a car wash. Yes. Yes. Oh, my gosh, you guys. What's up, dude? You guys got it? Get a little. What are those things that, like, when you were a kid, you go to the games in the back, right? And it shoots out coins.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

You put the money in and every time I go on the track, I'll just send you guys, like, a Snapchat or something. Like, hey, daily, like, you know, maintenance.

[Ryan]

Fees and maintenance fee.

[Evan]

You do it like a buck or whatever. 10 bucks. You guys can count. How many times.

[Ryan]

How good does it look?

[Evan]

Dude, it looks amazing.

[Ryan]

It looks unreal. It actually does. It looks better than I could have ever imagined.

[Evan]

It looks so much bigger now that has asphalt on it than when it's fucking nuts. Every time I go down there, I literally just look around and I'm like, this is huge. Like, it is massive.

[Ryan]

Like, big.

[Evan]

I literally have just looked at, like, endless places, like lines and drives. I'm just like, this could not have been any better. Also, planning layout. Kudos. It literally is, like, it's perfect. And the amount of things you guys can do on it not only is just a drift track. Think about the shifter, cards, go karts, whatever. All the stuff you can do on it.

[Ryan]

So good, dude. Jake was so excited when they were putting the asphalt down. I called him to come over. He came over so fast in his Ford Raptor that he almost rolled it. They stopped working.

[CJ]

They thought he was.

[Ryan]

They were like. They all stopped working. They are like, holy. Like, they. They're like, a couple guys are laughing.

[CJ]

I heard this from more than just cj.

[Ryan]

Like, they were like, yeah.

[CJ]

Most of the guys at the.

[Ryan]

They could.

[CJ]

Guy in the black Rap drummers rolled his. Coming in.

[Ken]

Yeah, they stopped working.

[Ryan]

Funny for us, bad for you.

[Ken]

But, like. Like, how funny would that have been? Like, yeah, he'd have crawled out. Jake was so excited. He rolled his truck in our driveway.

[Ryan]

That'd be Jake.

[Ken]

It would. You would have flipped out. And then everyone. Like, everyone would have just came off the asphalt team and been like, yeah, yeah.

[Evan]

No, literally, if I would have, like, rolled, I would have been like, What I. The first thing I did say to him was like, why are you guys waiting? What did you break down? Do I need to get some part. Why'd you stop it? I'm like, let's get this thing done.

[Ken]

Jake was gonna go and put on his blue collared shirt, which is what Dave, his dad, wears.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

And so Dave is very loud and. And he's a construction guy. He's yelling at his crew. You can hear him from a mile away. Right. The other two construction crews. Right. Are like, thanking their bosses, informants for just not being that crazy. Right.

[CJ]

Wound up.

[Ken]

When Dave leaves, it's like, holy, man, what just happened? You are refreshing.

[Ryan]

Right.

[Ken]

So me and Jake were laughing like, dude, you should go home, put on a blue shirt, come back and just start. Yeah.

[Evan]

To give it, like, better context. All these guys know who Dave is. So, like, all these contractors, like, all they have all worked together. So they all definitely knew who Dave was and they've definitely heard of. Oh, yeah, for sure.

[Ken]

We've done highway. Highway jobs.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

And so, like, if I came back with the blue shirt, it would have just topped the cake.

[Ken]

Yeah. They would have another one of these.

[Ryan]

Always watch out, out for a guy in a blue shirt.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

That's like one of their training things.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Evan]

First day, like, when blue shirt comes around, you hide.

[Ken]

It'll show up in different forms. Sometimes it'll be in a Raptor, sometimes it'll be in an airplane. Just because you see the airplane does not mean he will not land that in a cornfield and come and chew your ass.

[Evan]

So what are you.

[CJ]

Yeah, what are you gonna drift on the track?

[Evan]

Yeah, when can we drive?

[CJ]

What are you gonna drift?

[Ken]

We could drive on it as soon as today.

[CJ]

But what are you going to drift?

[Ryan]

Monday.

[Evan]

Everything Monday.

[CJ]

What are you going to drift first?

[Evan]

That's what I was thinking about you guys, like, probably the Mustang, because that's what I got.

[CJ]

But the amount of like, good answer.

[Evan]

Yeah. No, but like, I literally. We were coming up with video ideas today, and I was looking at my storyboard. 90% of the things on there were different drift builds track.

[CJ]

I was just like, come on, diversify.

[Evan]

I know, I know.

[CJ]

Yeah. I'm kidding.

[Ken]

Jake is just like a rest.

[CJ]

You gotta pick in five seconds. What are you gonna drift? Drift.

[Ryan]

Probably Miata.

[CJ]

Got it. Ben, how about you?

[Ken]

I'm a unicorn for sure.

[CJ]

Hell yeah. Ken, what are you drifting on the drift track?

[Evan]

I'd like to learn and maybe like, they get the. The. What do they call it? This. The 350 slut. Or what do they call it?

[CJ]

Wait, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Tee out. Tlt out. If you're referring to my car, I love that name.

[Evan]

No, no, like the. The one that's been around the block.

[CJ]

Yeah, that's the mission you're talking about.

[Evan]

Cody.

[CJ]

Cody.

[Ryan]

I thought you thought they were actually called that.

[Evan]

I thought there was one car that like.

[CJ]

No, that is that specific car.

[Evan]

He's close. There's something like. But it wasn't that.

[CJ]

Yeah, no, he's.

[Evan]

Yeah, they did call it the town.

[CJ]

Sled, but no, he's thinking of the right car. Yeah, it's just the missile car.

[Evan]

Yeah, right.

[CJ]

Yeah. 350 slut.

[Evan]

Can I change my answer? Can I try your lambo?

[CJ]

No. Oh, no. What? It won't drift. I'll take the front drive shaft. That was a realistic question.

[Evan]

Yeah, like I think I could do it.

[CJ]

Yeah, but like it doesn't mean you get to.

[Evan]

No, that's why I'm asking.

[CJ]

That was all wheel drive Drift.

[Evan]

Yeah, I think all wheel drive. You gotta that thing.

[Ken]

I would be so sick. It would be so sick. I think I would front drive shop.

[CJ]

And that was the day Jake hock to Ben.

[Ken]

If it was the rear wheel drive one, like all day I would do it. But yeah, here's the other. Just seems like so, so much that could go wrong.

[Evan]

Yeah, no, it definitely would be super expensive. So if you said yes, I was going to be surprised. Like I was expecting. I know.

[Ken]

It would be sick though. It would be sick. You just got to be careful with what you say because like if I committed to it like all day would have to do it. And that's why I was intrigued to see what Ken was going to say because you know we're going to clip that for the next. Next drift video.

[CJ]

Oh, for sure. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I don't think Ken's gonna fit in that car.

[CJ]

I love that. Let's buy a new 350 and then call 350 slut. Clip that. Ken's golden.

[Evan]

Get him a windshield banner and everything.

[CJ]

Like obviously Ken, I guess a year from now is like obviously gonna be a pro drifter.

[Ken]

Probably doing competitions on the weekends.

[Evan]

Oh, no shot.

[Ken]

If Ken did that, we should get him like a rear wheel converted Tesla. Like a Model 3.

[Ryan]

Is there any way to do that? There used to be a drift mode on the Tesla.

[CJ]

Turning a Tesla into drift car. Sounds like such a logistic nightmare.

[Evan]

I did see a tick tock. Ken. We gotta go try this later. Does your Tesla cyber truck have Baja Mode. Where are we going with this? Before, there was guys that put their Tesla Cyber trucks in Baja Mode and they were doing them on the drift track.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Evan]

Yeah, it like in our driveway and I hit Ben's car.

[Ryan]

It rolled backwards.

[CJ]

Because I've seen some Teslas now, which is weird. Like, just in the last two weeks at takeovers, where they can figure out their flash, whatever they changed in their ecu, they were doing takeovers.

[Evan]

I did figure out how to Carolina squad.

[CJ]

I know that's not drifting, but like, I'm saying, they were like rear wheel drive.

[Ryan]

That thing's gonna have so much body roll.

[CJ]

Yeah, we can't do that. I mean, I just want Ken to come out and just like, drive the 350 slut or whatever he was talking about.

[Evan]

Nice, Mike.

[Ryan]

That'd be badass.

[Ken]

I just want to have like a whole fleet of Miatas. Honestly. Honestly, I think it's.

[CJ]

I agree.

[Ken]

I think we just need like 5 Miata.

[CJ]

I agree.

[Ryan]

I think we need like a C6 Corvette 350Z.

[CJ]

But you might need to do a personal level on that. And then company will just do full Miata.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I agree. Realistically, they're gonna get thrashed otherwise.

[CJ]

Well, it's tough because it's like. I think. I think like, most of. Most of the guys in the crew, like, don't have the sack to like, buy their own.

[Ken]

Talk about my sack.

[CJ]

Get it bigger, bro.

[Ryan]

You know, Ken's got a sack.

[Evan]

I will say the one thing with your Miata comment. Very good idea. As far as, like, everyone having like, the same machine out there together. It's almost like little go karts and you're all on the same level.

[CJ]

Right.

[Evan]

And they're not powerful enough, I think, to get yourself crazy.

[CJ]

You don't know.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah, that's the thing.

[CJ]

You don't know. That's a tough thing, is that the next Miata is getting some crazy. It's good.

[Evan]

It's good.

[Ryan]

It's looking.

[CJ]

So then it's like the next Miata we buy is going to be like. Like a literal dried piss missile compared to.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we had to get a fresh one because our. Our first one was so haggard.

[Evan]

Cheap or clapped.

[CJ]

Yeah, haggard.

[Ryan]

That's the way I'd describe it. And. Well, this one looks just like it. It's just nicer.

[CJ]

Yeah, that's what I'm getting at.

[Ryan]

But I mean, we're gonna have two badass rigs.

[Ken]

We're putting a Mustang motor into the Miata.

[Evan]

You're putting a Coyote.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Evan]

No.

[Ryan]

No. Why would anyone do that?

[Evan]

No.

[CJ]

Sorry. Sorry.

[Mike]

Sorry dude.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

I'm nervous.

[Ryan]

That's fair.

[Ken]

I can tell. Honestly, Mike, but that is fair.

[Evan]

Anyways, thanks for letting me intrude on your guys's pod. That was.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

Ahaha.
