[Gavin]

What is that boy doing with theing hammer work?

[Mike]

Evan?

[Gavin]

He does.

[Ryan]

He's pretending to be a construction worker.

[Mike]

No, no, no. Don't do that.

[Gavin]

Halloween is over.

[Mike]

He was going to hang some new signage.

[Evan]

Halloween is over ev. But you're still wearing those shoes.

[Mike]

Yeah. Put them up on the table. What are you going hunting?

[Ken]

Yeah. They're a little loud, but are they not super sick, bro?

[Mike]

I think Evan dope. Besides for one pair of shoes in the last five years, he only wears purple, red, orange, bright colored shoes.

[Evan]

But yet when I wear my white huck boots, he calls those Cheeto.

[Gavin]

They're white for cheetah. Little ankle rubber boots that like terrible.

[Ryan]

What's not Cheeto about neon orange DCs?

[Gavin]

Oh, these are built for performance.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

What are you doing?

[Mike]

What do I do?

[Gavin]

Literally any. You can't think that I want.

[Evan]

You can't skate in them though.

[Gavin]

I definitely could skate in these.

[Dalton]

We wouldn't want to scuff them.

[Gavin]

It's made specially for kickflip.

[Dalton]

Oh yeah. You had to buy the specific shoes for the kickflips.

[Ken]

Ben, you trying to challenge Evan to a game of skate?

[Evan]

It'd be pretty even. Evan's been skateboarding for the last 18 years of his life.

[Gavin]

Dude, we did have a heater match of scoot the other day. Me, Mike and Nick.

[Ken]

Pretty fun.

[Evan]

Oh yeah.

[Gavin]

And guess who won.

[Evan]

Mike.

[Gavin]

No, he can't Scooter.

[Dalton]

Are you kidding me?

[Ken]

But that's not true because remember when you guys were trying to do the 360 to the tail whip to the bar spin? I was the only one that could do it. So I can scooter. But anyway, I did lose.

[Evan]

Yeah. So we built a skate park in Ken's new merch bay. You guys will be seeing it in one of the upcoming videos two weeks from now. But it's basically like the best thing ever. And everyone absolutely loves it.

[Mike]

Ken, everyone. You love it too?

[Ryan]

No.

[Mike]

You didn't buy a pair of roller.

[Ryan]

Blades just like in the way it.

[Gavin]

Like isn't though we really looked at it. We were talking With Nick, you can literally fully function short of like, getting the pallet jack into, like two shelves. Like, you could run the entire operation as is.

[Ryan]

You are wildly delusional if you think that, bro.

[Gavin]

Everything is still in there.

[Ken]

Can I think you're wildly delusional? I think Ken's wildly, wildly delusional.

[Gavin]

The only thing the ramps are in front of is overflow, extra stuff, and all my sweatshirts.

[Ken]

Cuz all your sweatshirts. Lies.

[Ryan]

We have more sweatshirts coming in and.

[Mike]

There'S two boxes that aren't covered up.

[Ryan]

Moving the. The ramps.

[Dalton]

I just think it's probably only fair after, like, how much extra room you took up in here, we get to use some of your merch bait. Like, we built this giant warehouse and, like, you're the only one who gets to be in it.

[Evan]

Yeah. Seems selfish.

[Mike]

Valid.

[Dalton]

Yeah, sorry.

[Ryan]

I'm trying to improve efficiency in operation.

[Evan]

Well, you need to just start skating.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Think how much more efficient you could be if you had little wheels running around.

[Mike]

You drop in, be picking shirts, picking sweatshirts, hats. You'd be moving much faster than walking or running. I don't know if you're really a runner skating. You're basically just standing on the board.

[Evan]

Oh, my gosh, dude.

[Ken]

Okay, so I saw this Instagram reel. These guys have like a kind of like a Overlander workshop Tacoma. They build Tacomas and stuff. But anyway, they made this joke video of all of their workers wearing Heelys, and they're like, the efficiencies off the charts. They're like, they made. It looked like a legitimate Heelys ad. And then they sold and had so many requests for Heelys that they called Heelys and they're like, yo, we just sold like a thousand pairs of your shoes. We're going to need a brand deal right now. Like, they just made it as a joke, but everyone, like, actually was working very efficiently because they're just cruising around the shop.

[Evan]

I started getting those, like, Healy or I saw it on Instagram. I was like, damn it, now I'm getting served Healy ads.

[Ken]

But it wasn't even.

[Evan]

No, I know, I know.

[Ken]

I just thought that was funny. You really could work really efficiently in the merch Bay with Heelys on.

[Mike]

You got to wonder how successful Heelys is in today's age. You know, 20, 24. Obviously the big boom had to been 2003. Yeah, 2003. Is that when they came out? When did he come out? Can we find that out? Like, how long have they been in business? Because honestly, they've kind of stood the test of time for what they are.

[Ryan]

I want to say I got a pair of heelys in, what, 2005?

[Ken]

Man.

[Mike]

Ken, I would have loved to see you healing.

[Gavin]

I don't think they were ever overly popular. They've always just. They have stayed relevant.

[Mike]

Yeah, they were always such a hassle to wear because they were so heavy and clunky and generally like, for me, I'd only get one pair of shoes. So I was like, you want Heelys? Well, what are you gonna wear at gym? Oh, I can wear them. They're just fine. But they're heavier.

[Dalton]

And plastic bottoms they make.

[Gavin]

You got to keep the wheels in your pocket.

[Ryan]

I remember, like when I got Heelys, they. They made me take the wheels out at school. Oh, this is too dangerous.

[Dalton]

We can't have this giant teen.

[Gavin]

Dude, they were protecting.

[Ryan]

You walk out the front door, pop the wheels back in, and you're good to go.

[Mike]

The first Healeys were released in 2000.

[Ken]

Okay. Dude, it was kind of like soap.

[Gavin]

See, when soaps came out, it was first.

[Mike]

Their popularity declined after 2009.

[Ryan]

Soaps were in the 90s.

[Ken]

Heelys were kind of like ebikes. Now you know how like ebikes are taking a hit. Cuz kids are like riding them around. They're like doing wheelies. I remember even in the mall, if you wore Heely, they'd be like, yeah, don't do that, man. And I'm like, what?

[Dalton]

This probably comes as a surprise to nobody, but my mom wouldn't let me have Heelys. She knew I wasn't coordinated enough for him.

[Mike]

Really?

[Evan]

I have a video to show you guys of the last time I healed.

[Mike]

Oh my gosh, this was so funny. Airport 1. Who took this, me or Ken?

[Evan]

How do I get on there?

[Dalton]

You gotta go to Samsung's 55 inch Crystal UHD TV.

[Gavin]

All right, well, I'm about to surf this TV if you don't get it figured out.

[Dalton]

That old bit never made it, dude.

[Gavin]

Yeah, that was a stupid.

[Evan]

You're a stupid bit. You dumb dude. Dumb.

[Mike]

Oh, my gosh, he's healing nice. Oh, wipes into the freaking wall. This was in 2020. Hence the masks. Is when we were flying to pick up our very first fake Lamborghini.

[Evan]

Yeah. So I had this great idea that I should just bring Heelys to the airport. Right? Or wear Heelys through the airport. Honestly, I was just like cooking and I was focusing on the video and the classic Heelys. My wheels got stuck right at the bottom. You can see like the little metal grate there and I just face planted nothing in. In like that. The bridge is like very structurally sound. So like when I hit the wall.

[Mike]

The whole thing, it was like started shaking.

[Evan]

Yeah, it was like. You can't imagine how loud it was. And it was like backed up traffic in there. Everyone turned around and looked at me as I'm on the ground and my wheels are like still probably turning heels.

[Mike]

Yeah, it was pretty.

[Evan]

That was the last time I wore. Wore Heelys. Oh, no, no. I wore them on the. When we had the treadmill, remember that.

[Dalton]

Sounds like you fell then too, silly.

[Evan]

I did.

[Ken]

Well, enough about Heelys. You guys tell me, why were there so many Kenzorbas last night?

[Evan]

You missed.

[Mike]

You missed out on Halloween, dude.

[Ken]

I promised Sydney that I come into town because like our streets, a big trick or treating street. Guess how many trick or treaters we had?

[Gavin]

300?

[Ken]

No, but 175. Whoa.

[Dalton]

I was gonna guess like 42.

[Ryan]

I'm surprised you counted.

[Ken]

It was a lot of kids, dude. It was just like one after another. I'm glad I bought like I. Money Mike, the candy. I bought a lot of candy.

[Evan]

Full size, big ones.

[Ken]

No, I should have done that. But I was just like dumping.

[Dalton]

Oh, really?

[Ken]

Yeah, like take it all.

[Dalton]

You know they're gonna be back next year.

[Ken]

Yeah, so I did remember that. But by the time that you guys surprise Ken with the Kens, I was like, oh, dang. Like I would have missed it.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Well, here's the deal. I mean, we all thought about what we wanted to be for Halloween. Wanted to dress up as our favorite YouTuber. Turns out the whole town did too.

[Ryan]

It was very weird walking in, walking into the local restaurant and seeing just everyone is wearing the exact same thing.

[Dalton]

Looking right at you.

[Ken]

So we got a custom cowboy hat, no can do shirts. We got fake beards. We got black cowboy hats, black jeans, cowboy boots if you have them.

[Evan]

Yeah, it was a full Ken fit.

[Mike]

It was so funny.

[Evan]

The only thing Ken has said is it was very weird.

[Ryan]

It was.

[Evan]

It's the only thing he said about it the entire time.

[Ken]

But it was funny, right?

[Evan]

What do you mean weird?

[Ryan]

Funny.

[Mike]

But once he got liquored up though, he bought the whole bar a drink. He bought everyone a shot. A yag shot with Red Bull in it. So that's pretty good. Like, those are expensive. How much was the bill?

[Ryan]

Just guess how much the bar tab was.

[Mike]

2,000.

[Ryan]

Not even close.

[Ken]

Yeah, I was like, what?

[Evan]

Thousand seven hundred was like 200.

[Mike]

What's not.

[Gavin]

30 shots?

[Mike]

You buy five shots. Half the time, it's 100 bucks.

[Dalton]

Yeah, you must have gotten a bulk discount.

[Ken]

20 bucks a shot. I mean. I mean, if you're top shelf, homie, I love it. But, I mean, I'm going to hang out with this guy.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[Dalton]

Like, I for sure bought five shots.

[Ryan]

They want to get rid of the liquor.

[Evan]

The hell is wrong?

[Mike]

He was giving a deal, probably to you. That's what happened is you got a deal, but that's pretty awesome. 200 bucks. Everyone got a shot.

[Dalton]

Ken was the other Ken's tab.

[Mike]

They mistook Ken for another Ken. Some other guy's like, $2,000.

[Dalton]

What?

[Mike]

They're like, yeah, you're Ken Matthews, right? No, I dressed up as. I'm takes the beard. Oh, we have a problem.

[Evan]

I myself was also dressed up as Ken as the rest of the guys here.

[Ken]

Nice.

[Evan]

Did you guys have any moms just, like, clinging to you a lot?

[Mike]

Yeah, a mom came up to me and was, like, talking to me like she knew me. And I was like, do I know you? And she's like, yeah. Remember we met this summer over around the corner there? And I was like, you got the wrong guy. She's like, you don't remember me? And I was like, no, I don't. I was like, I'm not Ken.

[Dalton]

I kind of like, same thing. Like, yeah, this girl walked home, was like, oh, it's so good to see you. Like, I miss you. You should call me.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

She was like, we haven't talked in so long. And then I was like, do I play it off as Ken and go, oh, I'm sorry. I just get so many fake phone prank phone calls. I never answer them. And I. Then I just had to come clean. I was like, I'm sorry. I'm not him.

[Ken]

I just love when you guys would point at someone else who wasn't Ken but looked like Ken, and then said, that's the Ken you're looking for.

[Dalton]

Sure.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So who is this?

[Evan]

So this mom was real confused.

[Mike]

She obviously has a pass with you.

[Dalton]

She's trying to figure out which Ken is Ken. She goes, that's Ken.

[Evan]

And then she starts talking to me as if I'm Ken. She goes, hey, you remember Dylan from this summer? That's my son. Or arson.

[Mike]

This is little Dylan.

[Evan]

He's already got a beard.

[Mike]

Ken's like, that's not my kid.

[Ryan]

You guys aren't lake people, so you wouldn't know her, but she's. She's on the lake.

[Evan]

Okay. And then our buddy Gavin was at the bar. And there was this other. In Colorado.

[Dalton]

This guy looks so much like Ken. Dude.

[Evan]

This other guy dressed up as Ken.

[Dalton]

Look at his. His smile. When he gets this smile right here. That's the most Ken face I've ever like. I'm tripping out, dude, just looking at you.

[Ken]

The only thing not Ken about him was when Gavin goes to say, hi, I'm Ken, he goes, hey, I'm Ken.

[Evan]

And we're like, well, it's something about the way Ken looks, but he's got more doppelgangers out there than anyone else. And I'll get tagged in at least one Ken look like a week on Instagram or just sent it, like, over text and like, hey, look at this guy. Doesn't he look like Ken? I'm just like, man, there's a lot of Kens out there. Yeah. But anyway, so back to what really matters.

[Dalton]

Oh, no, dude, I hate myself. I thought I was so cool. I was afraid I was a sophomore in college. You know, you think you're cool back then. Turns out you look.

[Gavin]

There's no fucking way you thought you were cool when you looked in the mirror.

[Dalton]

Yep, I look like a really. The fact that I'm leaning on Justin makes us look like gay strippers, bro.

[Mike]

There's another one, though, of you and Mike.

[Evan]

Yeah, hey, pop up the one of you and Mike.

[Dalton]

I don't know if I want to. I think it's just going to say 404 file not found my dude.

[Mike]

You got it. There it is.

[Dalton]

I. This is why I delete all the pictures of me. Yep, there it is. That's what I thought. I looked cool.

[Mike]

I'm confused. So, Ryan, were you guys. What is going on there, bro? Zoom in on that.

[Dalton]

I don't. I don't know if we can.

[Evan]

Dude, Ryan, the crazy part is we were friends with you and we didn't stop you from going out in public. Like, yeah, I don't think we were with.

[Dalton]

Left unsupervised at college. It's so bad. This is like.

[Mike]

See why I'm glad you're a couple there?

[Dalton]

Yeah, it's bad. This is why I'm glad that you guys made fun of me so I don't do things like this anymore.

[Ken]

That's super.

[Dalton]

Like. Yeah, find some good friends that will make fun of you so you don't look like an idiot continuously.

[Mike]

Why'd you wear glasses to a Halloween party?

[Dalton]

I did my pride in have contact.

[Gavin]

Maybe he wanted to see.

[Ken]

You can see contacts. This is why Ryan's journey Ryan's journey has been amazing because you're an advocate for Lasik, because you got Lasik. But anyway, Ryan would wear you. He would wear his contacts at night and, hey, I sleep in my contacts sometimes. It's not good for you. But if you do it day in and day out, like Ryan did, he. You had your. Just a nasty, nasty whatever.

[Dalton]

You get like an infection.

[Ken]

Obviously it's not pink eye, but, like, your eye was just f. So you had to wear glasses, and you were bombed. You're like, dude.

[Ryan]

And then you would wear glasses for two weeks, and then you would just start the cycle over again.

[Dalton]

Yeah, no, I wouldn't take my contacts out for, like, they were monthly contacts, and I would take them out when I put new contacts in a month later.

[Mike]

Dude, that is so bad for your eyes, probably.

[Dalton]

But they never hurt until I got, like, the infection thing, which always happened when I started taking them out, like when I started messing with them but.

[Gavin]

Then hurt or anything. I remember your eye gets rotten.

[Ken]

I remember reading about that. You. It like, shields you from whatever's going on your eye, and you take it out and then your eyes like, oh, yeah, fudge.

[Dalton]

Yeah. It's like having a band aid on. And then, like, your eye gets all weak underneath.

[Gavin]

My eyes are, like, getting sensitive just thinking about it.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Evan]

I got a picture of Mike I'm looking for here. You guys remember his eyes were pink eye.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

That's when you guys came up and gave me a shopping cart.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Classic.

[Gavin]

Dude, Mike fell down the stairs, bro.

[Mike]

Double pink eyed up.

[Ken]

That's not real, but I don't know.

[Gavin]

If you remember that, Mike, I fell.

[Ken]

Down the stairs, bro.

[Gavin]

Yeah, Like a long set of basement stairs, like, longer than normal hardwood and piled up in the bottom like a.

[Ken]

Broken lawn chair because I couldn't see or. Why did you.

[Gavin]

Why did you lost your balance?

[Dalton]

Gosh, I got to find this pink eye. Mic pick.

[Gavin]

Dude, it's crazy that you, like, scroll through your camera, roll on the television screen. I could not do.

[Dalton]

These are all. Yeah, my life's a little more boring than yours, Evan.

[Mike]

Okay, here we go. I'm getting.

[Dalton]

Oh, here we go.

[Mike]

Here we go. I got it. I got it, I got it. Oh, my gosh. Who's ready? Who's ready for it?

[Dalton]

Me, bro. Michael, bro.

[Ken]

That was tough, dude.

[Gavin]

Check out that KTM in the back.

[Dalton]

This one was mine.

[Mike]

Holy shit, you guys. What were you doing to get that pink eye?

[Ken]

Well.

[Evan]

I think we know.

[Mike]

Swipe back to the picture of them together.

[Dalton]

[Mike]

Oh man, Bro Mike, that one was tough.

[Dalton]

I remember we were parading you around Duluth too.

[Gavin]

I do like the Ron Diaz you guys are running there. Classic high school beverage.

[Dalton]

I love Ron Diaz.

[Ken]

Ooh.

[Evan]

I mean, what was it?

[Mike]

Edward?

[Evan]

Ron Hands.

[Dalton]

Yeah, Jake and I tape a Ron.

[Evan]

Bottle to your hand.

[Ken]

That's like, yeah, that's messed up.

[Dalton]

We did it like three nights.

[Gavin]

You do that on Friday, you're not going to till like Monday.

[Evan]

I don't care if I don't leave this chair till Monday.

[Ryan]

Ryan, I gotta say, this is might be your worst Halloween costume.

[Mike]

Oh, my God.

[Gavin]

It can't get better and. Or it wasn't even. I'm leaving.

[Evan]

Great.

[Mike]

No.

[Ken]

Evan.

[Evan]

Torny.

[Dalton]

Oh, darn it.

[Evan]

What were you doing?

[Dalton]

Not sure. Not sure?

[Gavin]

No. We need an explanation.

[Evan]

The most disturbing part is that's at Dave's.

[Ken]

That's what I thought.

[Mike]

Jake's dad's. Yeah.

[Gavin]

Who's close with us?

[Evan]

You got a little holster here, Ken.

[Dalton]

Huh?

[Evan]

Of Ryan Vota's that you've been holding out.

[Dalton]

Got a revolver loaded back there, Justin.

[Ryan]

Just searches by face and it just knows.

[Gavin]

Yeah, man, I kind of try this.

[Ryan]

Oh, here's another one.

[Dalton]

Okay, that one's a lit. It's pretty bad. But I'm just college fat.

[Gavin]

I would say I probably drank 40 the least.

[Dalton]

I probably drink 42 bush lights that weekend.

[Evan]

Ryan, you haven't been that thin in years.

[Dalton]

I know.

[Gavin]

That was the least disturbing one.

[Dalton]

Yeah, for sure.

[Gavin]

That was fine.

[Ryan]

So I never tried to like, question your guys pranks, but I was looking at my Delta app last night. Are you sending me to South Africa?

[Mike]

How do you know that?

[Ryan]

Somebody booked me a Delta One flight next summer to South Africa.

[Ken]

294 days until check in.

[Mike]

Holy.

[Ken]

That's about as many. We have a flight number? We have an itinerary.

[Mike]

Well, Ken, you always find a way to just spoil a good vid, huh?

[Ryan]

Like I was like, this can't be them.

[Mike]

Pack your bags, buddy.

[Gavin]

You only got 294 days to get ready.

[Evan]

What's your question?

[Ryan]

Is it real or did my Delta get hacked?

[Mike]

Let's just say it got hacked.

[Dalton]

Just make sure you keep that week clear.

[Evan]

Is that why you texted us in the group chat and said, hey, I haven't been left out of any scheduling plans, but what do we have going on at the end of August 2025?

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's exactly what it was.

[Ken]

We just wanted to send you to the home grounds of where Elon Musk was raised.

[Evan]

All I got to say, Ken, is.

[Mike]

Pack your GoPro, get a couple extra batteries.

[Ryan]

Also, a person. I have no idea who they are.

[Gavin]

You're traveling with a person?

[Ryan]

Yeah. No idea who this person is.

[Gavin]

Well, what's his name?

[Evan]

Randy Komra.

[Ken]

Oh.

[Dalton]

My God. This is insane.

[Gavin]

That's not the guy that we Rode fucking motorcycles with. Is it?

[Evan]

No. That was nervous.

[Ryan]

I looked it up. That's only a $9,000 flight.

[Mike]

Holy crap.

[Evan]

At least you could do is say thank you.

[Ryan]

Thanks.

[Mike]

It's almost a 24 hour flight. It's 21.

[Dalton]

Do we want to investigate this?

[Evan]

Like me and CJ's revenge. We put Ken on a flight with no reclining seat next to the bathroom, which is where he puts us every time middle and we send them on a 21 hour flight and then you. When he gets there, he has to hop back.

[Mike]

You can't change your seat. You can't change your seat.

[Ryan]

Like I called Delta and they're like, yep, it's legit.

[Mike]

Yeah, it is legit. It's paid for.

[Gavin]

He's going by himself.

[Ken]

I don't have to go with him?

[Mike]

No, he's got a GoPro.

[Ken]

I, I just.

[Gavin]

Well, your name's not all year.

[Ken]

Miriam. Okay. What the fuck's going on? Yeah, I'm trying to like feed in. I'm trying to like nine thousand dollar flight for Ken. I'll be married video bit.

[Mike]

If you ask me.

[Ken]

I want to go to South Africa with a freaking GoPro.

[Evan]

Mike. It's not funny.

[Dalton]

You want to go to South Africa?

[Evan]

That's the issue, Mike.

[Gavin]

They got casinos in South Africa.

[Ryan]

They do, they do.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

So you're good.

[Ken]

Rich was just in South Africa and he.

[Mike]

Rich didn't get paid by those guys.

[Evan]

He ain't going anywhere that there's casinos.

[Gavin]

Staying in a hut.

[Mike]

What you need is like one bug nets. That's one thing I'll tell you.

[Evan]

Our buddy Rich built some tracks in South Africa and yeah, he got ripped off. 30 grand or something.

[Ken]

It's like, yeah, $22,000 that they just didn't pay him. But luckily his stay there was cheap, but still like, you know, he's like, I'm able to get like a hotel by the beach for five nights for like, you know, 400 total.

[Ryan]

But you said he won gambling there too, so not a total loss, but.

[Ken]

Oh yeah, that's. It's just interesting, you know, the exchan range rate. He, dude, he just like, he calls me like every other day and has just great stories and he's like, dude, I was like betting, you know, in equivalent for me, like $5 a bet. And then I won probably $5,000. And people were flocking to me like I was Dan Bilzerian, just some high roller. And I was like, wow, that's pretty cool.

[Evan]

That's how C.J. feels when his prize picks Hit.

[Mike]

I haven't really hit on like a big one yet. Yeah. Yeah. I've really gotten into sports betting lately, actually. Like, I really enjoy it.

[Ken]

So Alex was just calling it fantasy.

[Mike]

But it was actually, no, it's just like. So like in Minnesota you can just do pick six. So like, there's many different apps that you can play it on, so I'm not gonna shout them out. It's honestly super addicting, but it's super fun and you don't have to bet that much money to win a lot. And it just makes any game super interesting. Like last night I was just glued to the tv. He's like freaking w. I could have won two grand, you know.

[Dalton]

Really?

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Evan]

You know, would you have to bet? Bet to it?

[Mike]

You can do different things. Like the harder and the more unlikely that the bet is going to hit, the bigger the payout. So you could bet less and still have a large payout.

[Evan]

Like a fifty.

[Mike]

I had a hundred dollars.

[Evan]

A hundred bucks to two.

[Mike]

Yeah, I've had some that were like a hundred for like 32. 3200.

[Evan]

But our buddy Jake has also gotten into sports betting and he's, he's been like firing and winning and it's hard to say with that kid because, you know, he's not telling us about the losses like anyone.

[Ken]

Nobody ever does.

[Evan]

Yeah, he just texted us the other day and sends us a screenshot of a 5K bet. And the payout was like 355,000. And he goes, who wants to go in on this with me?

[Dalton]

Can you imagine?

[Evan]

Actually, that'd be crazy. Yeah, that'd be insane.

[Dalton]

Like that's, that's life changing money right there.

[Ken]

What the hell is a parlay?

[Gavin]

Multiple bets that you gotta, gotta be literally anything.

[Ryan]

So like one could be the Vikings win and the Patriots win and then and like stack them together and you know, whatever the odds add up to be like, it's can be ridiculous.

[Gavin]

It could be anything. It's like who wins the coin toss in multiple soccer game.

[Ken]

Yeah, it could be multiple. I think like how many bathroom breaks is Drew Brees taken during halftime?

[Gavin]

Literally anything.

[Mike]

I think you should get into sports betting, Evan.

[Gavin]

I play a little bit of DraftKings, but I just do the fantasy one.

[Evan]

Maybe it's just because I'm getting older, but dude, sports betting is becoming wildly popular.

[Mike]

Yeah, well, it's because of these apps, dude. And it's honestly, it is a little dangerous. It's so freaking easy to add money and just bet. It's not like putting 100 bucks down on a blackjack hand where you're like okay, 100 bucks. And they do these like bonuses. I've been playing off of like 2, 300 bucks, just going up and down for a while. Just because I bet like a hundred dollar hands, you get a little bonus payouts and shit. It makes it pretty easy to just keep going.

[Dalton]

That's what I always try to do is find the ones where it's like you get your money back.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

But I was talking with a buddy last night and he made a good point. He goes, what happens if you win? You, you bet 25 bucks, you win 80 bucks, 100 bucks. He goes, you pulling that money out? And I go, no, he's gonna keep playing. He goes, that's how they get you.

[Mike]

Yeah, exactly.

[Dalton]

Definitely fun.

[Mike]

Definitely could be a problem though. You gotta be careful, that's for sure.

[Ryan]

They really have in the last what, five, ten years made sports betting so much more accessible to so many people.

[Dalton]

Yeah, yeah. Like every thing, every pre game is sponsored by a different company and stuff like that.

[Mike]

It's a full on business. I mean every. There's so many different apps being made. Obviously Paul made his better.

[Gavin]

I'm pretty sure that there is a channel that is just dedicated to fantasy.

[Ken]

I feel like there's gotta be multiple. Yeah. People just so into it.

[Gavin]

Like a 24 around the schedule, just.

[Ken]

Oh I TV got it.

[Gavin]

I don't know what I have a YouTube channel. No, no, like, yeah, just like a sports center. But they're literally just going through the fantasy points.

[Dalton]

And dude, back in the day I used to hate the fall when I would be in high school because like the lunch table would just be overrun with fantasy football. I never gave a about it and everybody was all anybody would talk about. I'm like damn, can we talk about.

[Evan]

Anything else like politics now?

[Dalton]

Oh great. Yeah. I mean if people are talking about politics, I'm like, see ya.

[Evan]

So why is it that sports betting isn't legal in Minnesota?

[Ryan]

Because in Minnesota gambling is basically exclusively run by the Native American tribes. They just aren't on the same page with each other.

[Gavin]

You have to be a sovereign nation.

[Mike]

It's weird how you can do the pick six though legitimately.

[Ryan]

Doesn't make any sense.

[Mike]

Makes no sense.

[Dalton]

Yeah, it seems to me that they would be able to make more money with it. But like pull tabs and E tabs paid off the U.S. bank Stadium 20, 21 years early.

[Ken]

Oh my.

[Dalton]

Because of how many millions of dollars were generated off of pull tabs and Etabs in Minnesota.

[Evan]

So they want to keep it 600 million.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

In one year.

[Dalton]

So they want to keep it in Minnesota with scratch offs, with the pull tabs with the stuff that's like, super.

[Ken]

Traceable back towards stuff like that. I mean, I'm all for it. That's. I did not know that. I mean, that stadium was like, over a bill.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I think it might also, like, affect casino gambling. Cause if you're getting this sports betting itch in, you're probably not going to go to the casino too.

[Mike]

Yeah, no, I agree, I agree. Like, it's been really scratching the itch for me. It's been. It's just been fun.

[Ken]

I know.

[Dalton]

But.

[Ken]

No, I agree. It has got out of hand. Like, my little cousin, he's seven, he's on his Nintendo ds. Sports betting. How is that? Yeah.

[Evan]

Really? Oh, oh, sorry, sorry. I don't know. You just said it. So convicted. I was like, holy. It is getting out of hand.

[Dalton]

He's on, like, Nintendo DS chat, you.

[Ken]

Know, and he's just using, like, coins somehow. Like he's got 79 cents in coins.

[Evan]

We were talking about this at lunch yesterday and Big Wrench was like, yeah, my. My son is like, so into sports. He knows everything about every team and every, like, category of sports. Right.

[Mike]

He plays fantasy.

[Evan]

He plays fantasy. Right. And is just, like, wildly successful at it. So we're like, oh, Big Wrench. Why don't you, like, give him a thousand bucks and see what he could do with it?

[Mike]

He said his wife wouldn't let him.

[Ken]

Make a great idea.

[Dalton]

Did you see the. Steve Hamilton's kid is doing, like, a stock.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Class where you bet. Yeah. Like a mock stock trading class. And he's just blowing them out of the water. Everybody else is either negative or maybe has like a couple hundred grand. And Steve. Steve's kid is at like, any million. Like, he's like, absolutely blowing everybody out of the water. I was like, yo, does. Does he do trading for people? Because I want in.

[Evan]

That's funny. Yeah. Me and Greta were just talking the other day, and she was like, tweaking because she couldn't get into her, like, bank account or something like that. Like a high yield savings account. And she puts, like, some money in there and she couldn't get into it, and she was freaking out. She was like, I just need to know, like, how much money is in there. I was like, well, are you, like, trying to pull it out? And she's like, no. And I was like, well, it's probably about, like, Just a tiny bit more than what you put in there. She was like, you don't think it went anywhere? I was like, where the fuck is it going to go? It's a savings account. Essentially. It's like a 4% savings account.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

You logged in, put it all on Prize Picks. No, babe, it's there. I swear it'll be back soon. I just got a hit.

[Evan]

Some people just have. Some people just have, like, no risk appetite, though. Like, financial advisors will be like, what's your risk appetite be? Like, oh, extremely high or moderate or like, none. Right. And every time I tell them, I'm just like, like, look, I'd rather have you, like, maybe do something a little bit more aggressive than, like, in 20 years, if I gave you $10,000, it'll be worth $12,000. Like, you're going to lose that damn near due inflation. Right? Yeah, but, like, so many people are just, like, insanely conservative about it.

[Ken]

There's a level of five, you know, from safest to most aggressive. And I think you should be at middle or above because, like, what's the point? You're right.

[Dalton]

And it's also dependent on your situation. Like, if you're closer to retirement, I assume you would want to risk less, but. Right. Minimal invested, you're like, okay, well, let's do something cool here.

[Evan]

High risk, high reward. But that's also like, what we do.

[Mike]

Every single day, how much money we put into a video. And then you better hope that hits works out.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Lately. Yeah.

[Dalton]

What do you think the average cost of making a YouTube video is?

[Evan]

We could probably, for us or for.

[Ken]

The top of our heads, but we could probably put that into a number if we, like, you know, sat down and. Oh, we are sitting down right now.

[Mike]

It's so hard because some videos cost multiple hundred thousand.

[Dalton]

And then the drift track, you're hoping.

[Mike]

To get it back over the course of, like, years.

[Ken]

But it's tough to put the drift track into one video. Like, you can. You totally can. But yeah, it's like some videos truly, like, cost us nothing.

[Evan]

Very rare, very rarely. Maybe like, maybe like one a year. One a year.

[Ken]

And then some videos, all three banger bits are, like, extremely expensive. And then, yeah, if you chalk up the drift track and, well, I don't.

[Mike]

Say 40 to 60 grand on average. If you were to, like, level it.

[Ken]

Out, space it out.

[Dalton]

That was what I kind of had in my head.

[Evan]

The video that I hit the tree in the unicorn. Granted, you can already say that it's been, like, paid for. I Guess in like, previous videos or used in other videos, but that video got demonetized and it made no money.

[Ken]

So there's that.

[Dalton]

Yeah, that's Corn got totaled.

[Ken]

That's actually the biggest hit we're still.

[Mike]

Trying to recoup on the unicorn.

[Evan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The unicorn.

[Mike]

That would have got us closer to maybe even. But instead, just. It was just a loss overall. We're like, what the fr.

[Gavin]

Why did it.

[Mike]

Because we were riding on the roof of the pizza. That's what it was. It was a dangerous activity that is easily replicated. Replicated. Oh, yeah. That's why they didn't like calling dirt.

[Gavin]

Bikes up under the roof.

[Mike]

That's really easy. Well, that's what they didn't like. Like, you can drift on the track and hit a tree, but it's like. It's like you're on a drift track. He's a professional. This is what you do. He is technically a professional. You don't have to be good.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You're just paid to do it.

[Ken]

And keep in mind, I'm laug. As a non professional. I've been calling myself an AM Drifter, which is an amateur. Amateur. There's AM Pro or pro am or whatever. And there's pro. Just. Mm. That's what you are.

[Evan]

It works. Yeah, yeah.

[Dalton]

Amm. Actually, my bios are all amateur professionals.

[Ken]

I love it.

[Dalton]

Or amateur professional. All right.

[Ken]

So the other day, I was at that Baby Jake concert. He sings Cigarettes on patios among many other good songs. Went there. It was super fun, super small. There's like 50 people there. So it was like, really fun. We got to meet him at the end, hang out, tell them about the channel. Ask him if we can use his songs on the channel, which would be cool. So we'll get into that. But, you know, if you see it, whatever, they always say, yes, I know, right? And then I tell them, and then.

[Evan]

I even until it gets claimed. And then they go silent.

[Ken]

Yeah, no. And then we were chatting and I was like, no, no, you need. He's like, yep. These ones on this album, all free game. I was like, no, I'm gonna need a white list of our channel.

[Ken]

But anyway, that's not the point. He gave me a vinyl and he signs it and I'm like, stoked because it's. It's cool getting a vinyl from someone that you listen to and they sign it and like, it means a lot more. And then we go to Cowboy Jacks. I'm like, pretty tuned up, chatting to a bunch of people. I like, set it right next to me it randomly, but I'm like outside on the patio and I set it in this planter. But it's like right here. I don't leave. I'm just chatting with a couple homies. They move out and other guys say hi. Other people say hi. And then I like, look over. I'm like, oh, record's gone. And then I like, start freaking out, like, kind of weird. I was like, I don't know. I just being weird. And I'm like, dude, my record's gone. I gotta go. I like, run, run around. I'm like, somebody's got it. They just took it. I know it. I like, run outside. See this one dude I know, he's like, what up? And then I'm like, dude, somebody stole my record. I'm so pissed off right now. And then this girl in their group goes, was that swan? And pulls it out What? And then I said some nasty things to her.

[Mike]

Really?

[Dalton]

Oh, my God.

[Ken]

Yeah, I just. I was just like, you thieving bitch. Oh, whoa. And then she's like, whoa, Whoa. Yeah. I was like, that's my record and you stole it. And then I'm, you know, I just like pointing fingers.

[Mike]

Geez.

[Evan]

Did you Kenner.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You don't just take someone's record.

[Evan]

Yeah, well, what a bitch, though. Icd, dude. Totally warranted. That's totally warranted.

[Ken]

One, I do agree, but two, good on her for pulling it out, but also, like, very stupid. She could have just been like this and been like, oh, my God, it's gonna be really awkward.

[Mike]

Maybe she thought someone just left.

[Dalton]

Left it there since it was sitting in a book.

[Ken]

Yeah, it could be. But keep in mind, like, I didn't leave. It was there. And my jacket was there too, but just the record, so. Didn't want your jacket Anyway. She's like, what are you gonna give me for it? And then I was like, nothing. You stole it. And I just grabbed it back and I was like, storm back inside. I was like. And then I was just stoked that I got it back because, like, all she had to do is literally not show me that she stole it.

[Mike]

Why do you like records so much? Like, I see you always are buying more.

[Ken]

I think it's like. Like, I don't have a true reason. I'm not. Like, it's superior. It sounds better.

[Mike]

It's not.

[Gavin]

We don't even have the right setup to, like, say, the whole, like, sound thing because we use, like, the digital wire stuff. So it's like, not even a real record player.

[Ken]

Yeah, I mean, like, the old school guys that would.

[Gavin]

You know what I mean? You have to have the true old school setup to, like, hear the depth.

[Ken]

Yeah. But no, it's not. It's not any better. It's just fun, like, listening to an album front to back and going like, I really like that versus just, like, randomly.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Especially lately with podcasts, I just. I'm like, dude, I don't even really. I'm not even passionate about music anymore, so I don't know.

[Gavin]

Artwork's really cool though, too.

[Ken]

Like, you get posters in there and, like, especially when it's signed.

[Mike]

It's pretty badass that they still make. Make records. Yeah.

[Dalton]

And it is kind of cool. Like, if you're hanging around your house, you, like, put on the Baby Jake record. You set the little record thing behind it and let it play.

[Ken]

Super fun.

[Ryan]

I think it makes it, like, more of an experience because it's like you're physically doing something. It's kind of a pain in the ass to skip songs and.

[Ken]

Right, Exactly.

[Ryan]

It's more of a thing.

[Ken]

Yeah. So I don't know. I just thought that was kind of funny.

[Gavin]

Who do you think ended up with your Rick and Morty painting?

[Evan]

I don't know. Somebody.

[Ken]

1 of 1. Rick and Morty painting in Vegas. And then Evan and I are just strolling around free on. And then I'm like, hey, where's that painting at?

[Gavin]

I think it was, like, a roulette table or slot machine. Whatever we were doing. You set it just to the side, Dude.

[Ken]

I. I love that. Normally I do it with just, like, you know, I'm a bird. I, like, have a leftover Dave's chicken sandwich, and I put it next to the blackjack table. I'm like, oh, that's gone.

[Gavin]

Shout out Dave's hot chicken.

[Evan]

I don't know, though, Mike. It's hard to say if you're getting them stolen from you or just leaving them behind. Like, didn't you leave your phone at the bar last weekend?

[Dalton]

Yeah, yeah, Ken stole it.

[Ken]

But exactly. Like, it's hard to say if Ken stole it or just took it. And in my opinion, he just took it and gave it to me.

[Evan]

You left.

[Ryan]

One of the bartenders came running up to me. Hey, Mike left his phone.

[Ken]

I'm always taken care of.

[Evan]

What did you say that you were.

[Gavin]

Functioning like a PS2 server that night when you got home?

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Oh, that's when he fell asleep in the chili bowl.

[Ken]

Yeah, just shoveling coleslaw into my mouth. And then Evan, like, what are you doing? And I was like, I'm like a PS2 server right now.

[Dalton]

Does that even mean.

[Ken]

I don't know. I was being funny, but, like, I still don't know.

[Gavin]

Got in a fight with the microwave.

[Ryan]

You also left your wallet behind in the merch barn, like, three days ago.

[Ken]

That I was aware of. And that was. Yeah, that was Wednesday night. So.

[Gavin]

Do you air tag that wallet?

[Ken]

Yes.

[Gavin]

Okay. So it's never.

[Ken]

I knew it was in there. I. I really appreciate Ken telling me that it was in there, but I didn't know it was in there.

[Dalton]

Speaking of music, I was listening to a song, and this guy wrote this song about. About Ford Rangers. His name's Rick Duff, and I believe it's on the Canadian version of.

[Ken]

Oh, wow.

[Dalton]

Is this America's Got or. Well, Canadian talent or.

[Ken]

Yeah. Is it the voice Canadians got?

[Dalton]

Talented.

[Mike]

That's really good Cheeto.

[Evan]

Six wheels.

[Ken]

Six wheels.

[Dalton]

Was this name dropped us.

[Evan]

Wait, wait.

[Ken]

What Are you listening to the song?

[Gavin]

I can't hear a word.

[Dalton]

I can't either.

[Evan]

Shut up.

[Gavin]

Can you put volume on the tv?

[Dalton]

Yeah, it is. It's all the way up.

[Mike]

What? Dude, that's so sick. Can I get this song?

[Dalton]

But I also love that he wrote this about a Ford Ranger. Just even.

[Alex]

Brilliant.

[Mike]

Brilliant song.

[Ken]

I love it. I love it, too.

[Mike]

Brilliant.

[Evan]

You didn't get the X, so that's good, right?

[Dalton]

Yeah. People seem stoked. Dude, it's like a concert in there.

[Evan]

Damn. That's sick.

[Ken]

He needs to come to WeFest and then we need to post this guy.

[Dalton]

Damn, Rick Duff.

[Evan]

That's dope.

[Ken]

Dude, that was cool.

[Evan]

We got name dropped because of the Ford Ranger on Canada's Got Talent. That's sick.

[Gavin]

Those people got to be so fucking confused. Why is he talking about six wheels on a Ranger? What's this guy guy doing?

[Evan]

That song was straight up written about our Ford Ranger.

[Dalton]

I know.

[Evan]

There's no other. There's no other Ford Ranger that has a Cummins motor and six wheels.

[Ken]

That was awesome. Yeah.

[Dalton]

Called Ford Ranger by Rick Duff.

[Evan]

We'll link it down below.

[Ken]

I'm putting that at the top of the playlist for the weekend.

[Evan]

Mike, he might send you a. He might send you a vinyl.

[Ken]

Let's do it. My Ford Ranger.

[Gavin]

We should get a full size Ford Ranger.

[Dalton]

Full size Ford Ranger. Question mark.

[Ryan]

Old one.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Like Buddy's truck at the truck pull. That was a Ford Ranger.

[Ken]

You're right. You're right. And those were.

[Gavin]

They didn't used to be little toy trucks.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

What happened with Ford Rangers, man? They were full size, and then they just kept getting littler.

[Mike]

Imagine they did that to a Silverado. What would you do?

[Ken]

It would be tough.

[Gavin]

I would call it an S10.

[Ken]

Okay. Which is. That's tough because, like, S10s are still cool, but they aren't.

[Dalton]

Yeah, but what if they shrunk your Silverado?

[Gavin]

I mean, I don't want a smaller truck just because I'm small. You don't need the SS or it's a Colorado. I don't know. They make it.

[Mike]

So why don't you like GMCs?

[Evan]

I just.

[Mike]

Isn't it the same thing? Pretty much.

[Gavin]

No, no, no, it is. It is. Honestly. I mean, it is. It's just as good as a Chevy, except for it's just a little more pavement princess, you know, it's. You know, for guys that wear, like, bedazzled jeans and listen to Luke Ryan or something. I don't know what they do.

[Ken]

And you know what I'm cool for?

[Gavin]

Is that a country guy? Is Luke Ryan a good guy?

[Ken]

All right, for an argument. You know what I am cool for? At least for trucks and stuff. Like, if you'd be like, hey, what's your deal with gmc? And you could just be like, it's so close, but it's not a Chevy. That, to me, is a valid argument.

[Evan]

Yeah, technically, it's.

[Dalton]

What came first, Chevy or the gmc?

[Ken]

Good question.

[Alex]

I'm sure the Chevy.

[Mike]

But isn't it just the same truck?

[Gavin]

It is, but nice.

[Mike]

Made by the same people.

[Gavin]

But GMC is like, just with some.

[Dalton]

Yeah, it's like the pretty boy version of a gm.

[Alex]

Of a Chevy.

[Ken]

Yeah. Pavement Princess. A little fancier. Don't get as much dust on it.

[Dalton]

I wonder what GMC stands for.

[Gavin]

Oh, man, I really want to say it, but I don't think I can.

[Mike]

Yeah, you can say it.

[Gavin]

Oh, yeah, it's a gay man Chevy.

[Ken]

I have a really good recipe named GMC Glizzy Mac and Cheese.

[Dalton]

Damn it.

[Evan]

Dude.

[Dalton]

We almost had it. We almost had it.

[Ken]

I didn't say hot dogs.

[Dalton]

You're right. Oh, no, you did.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

Was he trying to go a whole podcast without saying hot dog?

[Ken]

We're trying.

[Dalton]

We're just trying to go.

[Evan]

I don't think we have.

[Ken]

These guys are.

[Dalton]

We haven't since.

[Ken]

I like hot dogs, but Glizzies.

[Gavin]

What do you think about gmc? Cj?

[Mike]

I think they're fine. I think Chevy's are fine. I like Dodge. I like Ford. Raptor is obviously the best, but. Yeah, that's just. That's just my two cents on it.

[Evan]

I'm.

[Mike]

I guess I don't really partake in the whole truck. Like, Ford versus Chevy or Dodge versus GMC or Chevy or whatever, you know, they're all pretty good. You know, honestly, like, and. And we've owned one of every brand, actually. We've never had a gmc. They all have their own quirks.

[Gavin]

In any vehicle, any brand, it might suck, but it might be great.

[Mike]

I don't know. They all did the job and they all rip. They just get a little better every. Every year.

[Gavin]

Do they actually get better, though?

[Mike]

I think so.

[Gavin]

They peaked in, like, 03.

[Ken]

Yeah. Like, I think they get more bells and whistles. That makes me think they get better. Like, because I. I think I agree with you.

[Gavin]

And sometimes those bells and whistles make it more of a pain in the.

[Ken]

I do worry about it. I worry about all those electronics in 25.

[Mike]

Yeah, I agree with that. They're not. Probably not going to age very well.

[Ken]

There's just like on humans there's no way to truly know the effect until you go 25 years down.

[Mike]

Like it's basically like having a ph in your car. But like.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Imagine having to use a 25 year old cell phone right now. You'd be like this thing's a piece of junk. It's not working now. It's like being a bag. The technolog like you know, like the motor and stuff. That'll still be good, but it's like the screen. Like it might be just so slow or delayed or just like a corded.

[Ken]

Analog phone could be 25 years old or could be 3 years old. And they kind of work the same.

[Evan]

Yeah, there's not much to it.

[Mike]

Yeah, I mean I'd imagine that stuff's going to give out before or other things.

[Dalton]

Yeah, the engineers, that's what make them 12 valves. Great baby.

[Ken]

And that's a reason to keep pushing for another day to keep pushing forward and live your best life. So you can find out if these trucks are going to stand the test of time.

[Evan]

Yeah, Mike, it's really insane.

[Ken]

The reason to live, man.

[Dalton]

Yeah, you like get jammed up in a situation. Someone's robbing you at gunpoint, man. I can't die. I gotta see how these trucks last, man. The new Chevy comes out in six months, man.

[Ken]

I have a 2014 that I been. I'm a one owner vehicle on this truck. I need to see how if it makes it to 2030.

[Dalton]

Dude, I saw that Nissan drivers, CJ were rated as top 10 of the worst drivers in the United States.

[Mike]

I believe it, dude. Have you seen like the Maxima and Ultima? I mean it's a meme but like they're swerving around driving like freaking maniacs. They got their rear suspension blowing out.

[Ryan]

I remember when Ryan and I picked up Evans El Camino, we went and got lunch inch and there was an Ultima with no body panels on it.

[Dalton]

Oh, that was sick actually. Yeah, no doors, no body panels, nothing. It was like an exo cart.

[Ken]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure in like Florida and Atlanta they do a buy one, get one free on an Ultimas.

[Mike]

That's the problem, dude.

[Evan]

Mike's got a. Mike's been pretty good with the jokes today.

[Gavin]

So do you guys know when you see like something mint from like the 80s or 90s, you know like these barn finds and everything? Everything. Do you guys ever Think about just buying something today and just putting it.

[Dalton]

Away for, like, rat hole in it away.

[Gavin]

Wrap it up real good. Whether it's a dirt bike, any car, even if it's like an. Not even the highest end car.

[Ken]

It could just be a 20, 25 Yamaha snowmobile.

[Evan]

That's a great idea, dude.

[Mike]

I don't think it'll pay off.

[Ken]

No.

[Gavin]

Maybe not even truly to, like, oh, I'm gonna, like, make a bunch of money off it. Just be lit, like 30 years from now.

[Dalton]

You.

[Ryan]

Yeah, something brand new from where stuff's at today. Like, nothing is gonna last like it was 20 years ago because there's so much electronics in that, and all that shit's gonna fail.

[Dalton]

Like, but it's in the box.

[Evan]

They don't have preservatives.

[Ken]

They don't have the little silicate.

[Mike]

It would be cool, though. I saw a video of a guy who had a. Or it might have been a dealership. They had a, like, 2003 or 2001 CR250 dirt bike, brand new. It never been kicked before.

[Dalton]

Wow.

[Mike]

And some guy bought it and kicked it and, like, wrote it.

[Dalton]

I was gonna say, like, what do you do? Walk in there, kick it over?

[Mike]

I think it's sick, dude. I think it's cool though, like, seeing one fresh because, like, there's got to be very, very, very, very few fresh.

[Gavin]

I think a lot of people did it. Like, they knew in 2005 or 6, whatever it was, that the banshees were done. I still see them popping up online, like, in the crate.

[Dalton]

What are they asking for something like.

[Ken]

That, dude, it does remind.

[Gavin]

Not even. I don't even know if I've seen it for sale. Like, I'm on like a banshee page, and people just be like, I still got it. I still got it.

[Evan]

Revenue still don't.

[Ken]

It does remind me of. You know, everyone rolls their eyes at it, but it is true. The whole roll off the dealership lot, like, your car does lose value. Everyone goes, but why? Why does it have to. But then if you look at if someone's selling a basically brand new Ford Lightning or, you know, C3 Corvette that has 4,000 miles on it, it's worth a lot. But if it has 42 miles on it, it for some reason is worth like. Like 50 more even than those certain vehicles.

[Evan]

Maybe like a collector.

[Dalton]

But also, it's hard on things when they don't run.

[Ken]

I've just seen it, you know, they're selling a certain vehicle and they're like, 45 actual miles and people are just like foaming at the mouth, like and that price is way up there.

[Dalton]

A guy I know has a Copo Camaro, which is like the factory edition drag Camaro. Right. All it's ever done done is idle in his trailer, idle on his car lift. And he's never actually put it in gear to drive it to where he's going. He pushes it. He only lets it idle to keep the seals tight, right?

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Plastics on the seat, everything. Because it's gonna be worth a bunch of money one day. And all it is is just sitting in under a cover in his garage. Then another guy I know has one and he takes it to the trainer and drags it frequently. And I go, I don't know how much money you're gonna make on that thing, but if you bought it, you got to have more fun drag racing it. Like, he showed me a video of it wheeling. It's a stock Camaro. Well, not a stock Camaro, but it's a Camaro right off the box. That's insane wheeling.

[Ken]

Like it better make you so much money that that is your retirement plan.

[Dalton]

Yeah, I mean like I think your true enjoyment, like out of looking at something and just letting it sit there and not do what it was made to do or using it. I would use it.

[Evan]

A guy like that though, that's like putting that much time into like making sure that it stays nice. Like, is he going to sell it?

[Dalton]

Yeah, no, he's not going to sell it.

[Evan]

Like the dude's going to. I guarantee the dude dies before he like even like.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Gets to drive it or sell.

[Gavin]

Grandkids are going to be doing he behind Walmart with it.

[Dalton]

But yeah, I mean it is kind of cool cuz it literally has zero miles on it. Like the dealership drove it off the trailer, drove it into the floor and he pushed it in his trailer.

[Evan]

What year is that?

[Dalton]

It's probably like a 17 now, something like that.

[Gavin]

2017?

[Dalton]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean he hasn't done it for that long.

[Gavin]

I thought this was like a classic from like the 70s.

[Dalton]

No, it's pretty new now.

[Gavin]

I think it's more Cheeto.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

Rip the out of it. It's a new car. I thought it was like.

[Dalton]

But the thing is is back in the 70s, that car was new too, you know, so like he's really playing the long game.

[Gavin]

Yeah, no, I mean, I guess it's like what I just said, buying something nice now to keep it's.

[Dalton]

Honestly, if you're gonna hate it, it's a pretty Cheeto looking car.

[Gavin]

Oh, my God. It better not be orange.

[Mike]

It's got to be a particular car.

[Dalton]

What's wrong with orange cars? You don't like my orange car car?

[Evan]

Ryan, you are a big orange car guy.

[Ken]

Yeah, I like it. I've been thinking about getting shoes that look like your car.

[Dalton]

This one actually looks pretty sick, but I'll show you.

[Evan]

You're wearing orange shoes right now.

[Gavin]

It kind of looks like this.

[Evan]

Wait, this is the car?

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ken]

It's a pretty wild drag car.

[Alex]

She'll pop a wheelie.

[Mike]

How much should it cost?

[Dalton]

Yeah, I don't know how much it is. I don't think it's a wildly expensive car.

[Mike]

That's the thing. Like I was saying, though, like, if you're planning on making money by holding a car, it better be the right.

[Ken]

Car, which at the end of the day is kind of a gamble.

[Mike]

You never make enough money to make up for inflation and just the oper opportunity cost of, like, you could have taken that money and put it into literally a money market and not touched it and made more money. Probably. Like, you might make 20 grand. If it's like a Lamborghini Countach and you held it from the day you bought it to now, then obviously you're gonna make a million, maybe 2 million bucks. But very few cars actually go up.

[Ken]

That much at the end of the day. It's got to be a passion.

[Mike]

Even like a 69 Camaro. Like, how much something like that cost? Maybe 200 grand if it was mint. Mint?

[Dalton]

Honestly, you probably get just as much money out of a resto mod now.

[Mike]

Like, it's just. It's not a great financial move if you're trying to do it for gain.

[Ken]

9.4.

[Gavin]

I think it would be sick if you, like, tucked your evo away for the next 15 years. You never even looked at it. You just left it.

[Mike]

Well, I did that for two years now.

[Gavin]

I'm driving it, like, a long time. So long you forget you have it.

[Ken]

That's hard to do.

[Evan]

Then it'll be worth, what, 40 versus yeah, exactly 35.

[Gavin]

Again, not for the investors. Investment, for the cool factor.

[Mike]

Yeah, it is cool. I'm gonna keep it forever.

[Dalton]

At, like, this stage. It is pretty cool. Like, that's why I bought my TC back. That thing, I promise you, ain't gonna be worth nothing. But it is kind of cool, like, to have a car that was so legendary to me.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Back. My dad has a Trans Am, and it's pretty cool. But it was his High school car. He found it, bought it back. Or maybe he never even sold it. And I remember when I was younger and he showed it to me, I was like, this was like your legendary high school car that like I've heard about out for years and years and years because he finally pulled it out. Different storage. I was like, huh. I feel like that's what my kids are gonna do with that car. They're like, this is the car that you thought was cool.

[Evan]

That'll probably actually be the car that they steal and go do heaters behind Walmart in.

[Dalton]

It'll take it.

[Mike]

They'll take some lunch trays and put them in the. On the rear tires.

[Gavin]

Classic.

[Mike]

Lock the E brake and just drag it around because it's front wheel drive PC.

[Dalton]

You don't even need the lunch trays, dude. It's the TC. It'll just do, right?

[Mike]

It'll just drag it.

[Evan]

CJ's gonna do that with. With his Ford Raptor.

[Gavin]

There's something about lunch trace.

[Evan]

No, Save it for his kids.

[Gavin]

Not anymore.

[Mike]

I'm driving that thing at 250,000 miles.

[Gavin]

It really sucks that that was like a show truck and now he kind of ruined.

[Mike]

It's just fine.

[Gavin]

Is it though?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I saw your front bumpers getting a little rusty too.

[Mike]

That happened because I hit a snowbank once.

[Evan]

Your truck is starting to look more and more like mine, dude.

[Ken]

It does. It happens. Like I was driving Ben's the other day and don't talk about the tick. No, I actually wasn't going to talk.

[Dalton]

About the cam phase or not.

[Ken]

By the way, and keep in mind, this could be any truck or any vehicle ever. But Jake's Raptor, since that's pretty much all he's driven up until now. The drivetrain and the suspension just clunky.

[Gavin]

Just first gen Raptor thing.

[Ken]

Yeah, first gen Raptor things. Now it's starting to be second gen Raptor things.

[Evan]

Oh, damn it.

[Mike]

How many miles are you going to.

[Ryan]

Drive your Raptor now too?

[Gavin]

I don't know how many miles I'm going to drive it.

[Ken]

But like it's at what I could.

[Gavin]

See getting another vehicle and just, just like keeping that one around.

[Mike]

Not worth much. Yeah.

[Dalton]

God.

[Mike]

That's how I feel about my truck if it's not worth much.

[Gavin]

Not that I'm like, oh, I hoot the V6, but I think the V6 with the turbos and there's a little more technology. I think it would be a lot easier to limp that V8 first gen along forever.

[Mike]

I'd Agree with that.

[Gavin]

Like you just throw motor in it.

[Ken]

Well, and you've seen just like running Jake do it. He ran one of his Raptors up to like 255 or something.

[Gavin]

So I could see keeping that around. It's a really good truck. You guys love to say that. I hate it, but it's been a good truck.

[Ken]

Dude, I gotta tell a really funny story here just because we're on the topic of vehicles. So I got this buddy AJ that I worked with at Zorbas and. Great dude, shout out aj. He, he lost his leg to diabetes a ways back. He's really positive and, and deals with it humorously and he's always cracking jokes. And he had a WRX right when I met him and like kind of the time you guys did too. So I was like, oh, dude, that's like my dream car. That's sick. And it was an automatic. And I was like, oh, that's. It's an automatic.

[Gavin]

I didn't even know they made a WRX in an automatic.

[Ken]

They did. And like, nobody wants them. And I'm like, would you ever get a manual? And he's like, no, you idiot, I have one leg. And I was like, damn. And then, you know, he laughs because he's just, he's just good sport about it.

[Gavin]

Pick up a hand clutch probably.

[Ken]

Yeah, you could. But no, he's like, no, I'm gonna make my life easier. And they're just not because he got a new one and, and it was an automatic. And I just, I was like, yeah, I've never felt so dumb asking him if he's going to drive a three pedal car.

[Evan]

You guys know that Dalton's new Subaru is an automatic. Sorry, I didn't mean to expose you like that.

[Ken]

And then another thing that happened, we were at like, we were at the Zorba Palooza, like, big, like, thank you party for all the people that worked at Zorbas. But anyway, he's parked in the handicap spot and the workers outside, like, we get out, he's parked very close to the building in the handicap spot. He has a handicap pass, he has one leg. And we like get out. And they're like, hey. Because they suspected we were up to no good. And they're like, hey, can you actually move your car out of the handicap spot? And then as he's crutching away, like they didn't quite notice yet. And then he looks at them and goes, I have one fucking leg. And I've never seen someone with their tail in between their Legs so hard. Like asking someone with one leg to farther away. Yeah. They're like, excuse me, can you park your ricer. Not in the handicap spot. As he's crying, watching towards them.

[Dalton]

Oh my God.

[Ken]

I just never forget it.

[Dalton]

I saw Tick Tock. It's a guy or it's a girl filming. It's a truck. And goes, wow, dad, nice truck. How much did it cost you? And it pans to the front of the truck and the guy has one leg and one arm and he goes, don't even ask. Arm and a leg, classic.

[Gavin]

So Ryan actually recently started drinking Diet Mountain Dew.

[Ken]

That's right. And did you?

[Dalton]

No.

[Big Wrench]

Oh.

[Evan]

Oh.

[Gavin]

I tried to come up with something.

[Ken]

No, but I was like, what? But anyway, sorry, I know we already made fun of your Halloween costume, but when you got all excited that the, that the razor was fixed because it was out of gas. But do you not remember, man, it wasn't. The razor's always been out of gas. The. The gas gauge has always been not working. And then you like came in and you're like, I know the razor wasn't working.

[Gavin]

Yeah, you went around yesterday.

[Mike]

Everyone individually. It just was out of gas. I'm like, that's why. I jokingly was just like, oh, it was just out of gas this whole time. That's why it hasn't been.

[Evan]

Ryan said when I heard that, I just shook my head.

[Ken]

But I did.

[Evan]

Idiot.

[Dalton]

But then Dalton, just wait, just wait.

[Ken]

I did hear you driving it and it was driving good. So I was excited.

[Dalton]

I drove it back and I parked it on the slope of leaving the barn and it died. Died because it was. Didn't have any gas. I rolled to the flat spot. It starts up. I drive to the top of the shed, throw five gallons in. It drove it all the way over here, full throttle, 9,000 RPMs. Ripped, pulled out to the track. Evan saw me ripped out. It stuttered once on the road coming in and it was like 35 degrees yesterday. But today it ran like. Probably because we washed it.

[Alex]

It's probably.

[Dalton]

It probably gone again.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

I don't know. Fucking work. And I put gas in it and then it worked.

[Evan]

Well, then Ryan. Ryan thought he was a mechanic.

[Mike]

I need to.

[Evan]

He told Big Wrench and Gavin that they could take the rest of the day off.

[Mike]

I just thought it was funny because you were acting like you like, were like it was just out of gas this whole time. Like we were like, well, no, it's.

[Dalton]

Obviously had issues, but that's why. That's quite possibly why it did not work that day is that it was.

[Mike]

Out of gas for you that one day. But like every other time when we, like, drive the thing, it's a tuning issue or it's a sensor.

[Dalton]

That's because it's wet.

[Mike]

It's one of the context.

[Evan]

Our razor has not ran for the last year.

[Mike]

1 in 10 retuned.

[Ryan]

We try and drive this every single time. And everyone's like, oh, I put gas in it last time. But it's never like, oh, I filled it up. Completely true.

[Mike]

And dude, you can drive vehicles that aren't full to the brim.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Mike]

But unless it's the Unicorn, you have.

[Ryan]

No idea how much fuel is actually in there.

[Gavin]

But it's never run long enough to burn a tank up.

[Dalton]

Well, it apparently did because it was out of gas last time that I.

[Gavin]

Put it in something that actually.

[Mike]

I don't. How about we just actually get it retuned and then we see what happens?

[Dalton]

Yeah, that'd be great. They just have to go through it and find the misconnector. Because it would make sense that the connector is loose. And then when you wash it, it now isn't making the connection because it's all wet.

[Gavin]

Because sometimes it runs great and then it doesn't. Like, there's definitely, like an electric.

[Mike]

I agree it's one of the two, but either way, way, it seems like all the problems started happening with it after Mike flashed a new tune on it when we got back. Right there. That's kind of the common denominator. Also, like, they do that when they have a bad tune. It pulls timing. That's why it's pulling timing to save the engine from exploding. So the computer's trying to save it. So it cuts fuel so that way you don't blow it up because it's knocking so hard. And there's so many different factors that can come into it, Whether it's elevation, temperature, a lack of gas.

[Evan]

Lack of gas.

[Mike]

If you have bad fuel in it, there's so many different things that it.

[Gavin]

Doesn'T throw a check engine code.

[Ken]

No, that's actually the most pressure.

[Gavin]

Usually when they start missing or going to limp mode, it, like, lights up the dash.

[Mike]

And I'm not saying it is the tune. I think it's the tune or a loose connector. But we just, for some reason, don't do anything about it. We leave it for a month and then we hop in it and someone thinks like, oh, I put gas in it. It's good now. Well, it's tough because that was the Problem.

[Evan]

Who did that?

[Ken]

It like, keeps it like. You know when you bring your thing to the mechanic and you're like hoping that it makes the noise and then it doesn't make the noise.

[Gavin]

It always runs good for Big Wrench.

[Evan]

Yeah, I know.

[Gavin]

Any sense, Ben? You what? You pull up, runs like shit. Turn it off. Big Wrench gets in, runs great. You hop back in it.

[Evan]

Yeah. Big Wrench already thinks that we're so stupid, right? And so then I'm like, dude, no, there's seriously something wrong with this. And he's like, no, there's not. We'll go dragon. Private runs great.

[Gavin]

No, he's got demons.

[Ken]

We had it lined up to go to Wisconsin to get, and then it.

[Evan]

Started running good again.

[Dalton]

It's just like, Yeah, I. I said that to Gavin. I was like, we got to get this piece of out of here while we don't need it and then it can go get fixed.

[Ken]

So when we do need, we just nose goes. Who has to drive it?

[Dalton]

How much we want to bet that it runs after this? We walk out there and it runs good.

[Gavin]

I'll take the bet on the side of it not running.

[Ken]

I'm just. I'm most surprised that you. Your raptor doesn't have a tune. So you're telling me it's stock?

[Mike]

Bone stock.

[Gavin]

What about the antenna? Explain the antenna.

[Mike]

Shorty antenna. Other than that, aftermarket windshield wipers and we're good.

[Ken]

Dude, it is always fun to make jokes about.

[Gavin]

How many psi do you run in your tires?

[Mike]

34.

[Gavin]

Really?

[Ken]

Oh, wow. Very low.

[Mike]

You don't do 38 for traction?

[Ken]

Yeah, traction for sure.

[Gavin]

Dude, I just pumped my tires up to 65 for some reason. Because that's what they said.

[Ken]

For some reason.

[Gavin]

Does it shake? My tires are so cupped. Feel like when I over inflated them. Now they're just like, stop it.

[Ken]

Get some help.

[Evan]

Where do we start?

[Gavin]

Yeah, honestly. Yeah. What kind of help?

[Dalton]

I'm going to go drive the razor.

[Mike]

All right.

[Gavin]

Don't let your meatloaf.

[Ken]

Unbelievable. Love you guys.

[Evan]

Peace.

[Ken]

Subscribe.

[Evan]

Make sure you got some gas.

[Ken]

Yeah. Stay tuned for who won. The Stark.
