Ben
Gotta just feel like the ultimate edge.
Ken
I want you to be my brother in law Ken. If we wouldn't burn it down on the first night, it'd be a good time. It would probably be burnt down.
Ben
I feel like we haven't really toasted many Airbnbs.
Ken
Just my house.
Ryan
Yeah.
Ken
Now I'm on to hopefully finding a new redneck gal.
Evan
I thought you were going to say bigger things.
Ken
Dude. Let's set up a double date. Ken.
Gavin
The girls don't show up, you guys still run it. You don't like heavies?
Ken
I'm over it man.
Gavin
What are you into?

Gavin
Dude, so like, I think we should talk about Ken's a sleep farter.
Ben
Well, that doesn't surprise me one bit.
Liz
Well, I mean, I also think we should talk about that, but I don't know if we should open with that.
Ryan
Am I a sleep farter?
Gavin
Well, according to Micah, he said your ass is so loose you can't even hold them in when you're not pushing.
Ryan
Well, I was. How late in the night was this?
Liz
I don't know.
Evan
Why does that matter?
Ryan
Yeah, I was still consciously pushing those out.
Liz
Oh, yeah, yeah. No, it was like 1:30.
Ryan
And yeah, I was conscious and you did it.
Liz
And then I was like, you know, just had to say something because it's always funny. Funny. No, I did. I was like, oh, no. Or no? I just said, oh. And then you just go, it's too late now.
Ben
I just can't quite wrap my mind around the fact that. That Ken decided to sleep with Evan and Micah.
Gavin
Are you going to run this false narrative?
Ryan
So my. My conscious decision?
Gavin
Sleeping with them? No, I'm in the G.
Ben
Oh, yeah.
Gavin
I got voted out of the house.
Ben
You know, I was gonna put in the garage. This dude smells so bad.
Evan
You're saying you're in the garage, but, like, it's a pretty dope garage.
Gavin
Oh, no, it's Liz. Twice as nice as my garage.
Ryan
Your own ac. You got a giant couch.
Evan
Damn near a living room.
Ben
Got a koi pond.
Evan
It's like a private living room with a pretty big.
Liz
There's a pool table. I'm pretty sure there's even a map.
Ryan
You tried to take that pool table down.
Evan
I don't know why you took that. Because you're supposed to be in a bed.
Gavin
Oh, I took it because there was a big greasy fella in my bed.
Evan
So then who's sleeping in the master?
Ryan
Ryan?
Gavin
You?
Evan
That's a king size bed. You didn't want to double up?
Ryan
Well, I knew Ryan was going to have to get up earlier than me to do some work, so I consciously said, hey, you can take this bed.
Evan
And Ken's name is also on the Airbnb, so I'm trying to keep my.
Ryan
Airbnb rating high so I can get all these places.
Ben
Do you. Do you have a pretty good rating?
Ryan
I still got like a 4.9 star.
Ben
That's pretty good.
Gavin
Out of five or ten.
Ryan
Five.
Gavin
Okay.
Ben
I feel like we haven't really toasted many Airbnbs.
Ken
Just my house.
Ryan
Yeah. Did we toast?
Ben
What do we do at your house?
Ken
Evan just went into the wall.
Ryan
I broke a chair in yours too.
Gavin
Oh, you mean the family cabin.
Ben
Yep. Yep, that's right. Oh, my.
Gavin
Because that chair was a Yamaha.
Ken
Damn right.
Gavin
Can we move this starfish off the table? I don't know why it's there. It might be a candle holder, but I don't like it looking at you.
Evan
Cheeto for you.
Gavin
Get rid of that remote, too. I don't Know why it's pointing at Ken?
Evan
Yeah, he's not a tv.
Gavin
A transvestite?
Evan
I didn't. Okay, maybe then point it back at him.
Liz
No, no.
Ben
Television.
Liz
Like our channel.
Ben
I don't know.
Evan
A Tevas.
Liz
Tevas. A Tevas Television.
Gavin
Oh, television. I forgot what TV stand for.
Ben
Well, if you guys haven't picked up, we are currently in our Airbnb in Florida right now. We got six of us on the pod. I don't think we've ever had six on the podcast before. Well, besides for Ken sitting behind the board, I take that back. But in front of the. In front of the cameras, not on the front side.
Gavin
This coach is too deep for a short fella.
Ben
Yeah.
Evan
You want a little booster? We could grab a phone book.
Gavin
Yeah, do we. Do they even make phone books anymore?
Ryan
You want, like, a booster seat?
Ben
Yeah, they make phone books to, like, sell neighbors.
Gavin
I'm gonna have to sit on a pile of laptops. We don't have phone books anymore.
Evan
Grab a couple MacBook airs.
Ken
Dude, I freaking love Florida. It's pretty hot out here. You know, I don't know if I could live here full time, but it's a good place. A good place.
Ben
I can see you getting a double wide out in Florida.
Ken
All a man needs, a heavy. A double wide.
Ben
I said that to somebody yesterday. I go. They go, how do you like Florida? I was like, oh, we like it. Well, how's Gavin like Florida? I was like, I think he likes it. I was like, yeah, actually, now that you say that, I could. I could see him getting a double wide here. And they go, he probably just needs a single.
Liz
I know. The last thing you need is getting your roof ripped off by a hurricane.
Ken
Dude, seriously, man.
Micah
Freaking.
Ken
Hey. I mean, I have enough Hondas. I'd probably be able to trot off onto the out of there, but I.
Gavin
Kind of just got inspired. Gav, I think you should own a double wide or, you know, at least a single wide in every state or everybody.
Ken
That's a good idea right there.
Ryan
Get some good deals on single wide.
Gavin
You know, I'll talk to the rest of the guys, but I bet we can work something out. You probably park a double wide out back by the track. Yeah. If you want one in Minnesota, we could probably help you with that one. You're on your own for the other 51 or however many states.
Ken
49, bro.
Ben
What about this? What about this 52?
Gavin
Well, if you count Puerto Rico or how. I don't know how that works out. 50 states. There's a Couple odd ones.
Ryan
Puerto Rico is not a state.
Gavin
But we own it. That's what I'm saying. It's 50. It's.
Ben
Nobody says that though.
Liz
No, it's like how Uranus isn't a state anymore.
Ryan
How many stars are on the flag?
Gavin
Fifty.
Ken
Fifty.
Gavin
Nifty. United States. Thirteen original colonies.
Ben
Tell all about it one by one to give it a nip.
Gavin
Yeah, but anyways, there's two extras, but. Yeah, I didn't.
Ben
What about this? What about this? We get a double wide and we put it out the track. Okay. Gavin, you can stay there when you come and visit.
Ken
Perfect.
Liz
Cody, my snowmobile over it.
Ben
Heaven is going to be the sole, like the full time resident there.
Ken
So what's that look like?
Gavin
Bunk beds for sure.
Ken
Three bedroom.
Ryan
No, no, Single bedroom.
Ken
Single bed.
Ben
No, no, no. Two bedrooms. But you're sharing living quarters.
Gavin
Like a studio. Double wide. It kind of looks like a school bus. It's just wide open.
Evan
Dude.
Ken
If we wouldn't burn it down on the first night, it'd be a good time. But we'd probably be burnt down.
Liz
I personally don't think that's a horrible idea. And keep in mind, you don't have to live with Evan when you're here, which that's long as you want or as short as you want.
Ken
Sounds like a deal to me, man.
Ben
Yeah, we've actually been kind of trying to figure out, you know, something that we could pop up like on one of our properties. But if you could like buy an Amazon pop up house or like something like that, I feel like we're getting to that day and age where you can. You should be able to order a house online.
Ken
100.
Ryan
I see them all the time on Alibaba. Like it's. It's a. Hello, pasta.
Liz
Do more. Do more.
Gavin
Wait, Ken, try that one more time in English. What'd you say?
Ryan
She says like, hello, basa. Let me see if I can find the video.
Gavin
You're asking for a kielbasa, like the Polish sausage.
Ben
Oh, yeah. I've never seen this.
Evan
Like, you hold your mic towards it.
Liz
Keep in mind she's speaking English.
Ben
Oh, yes. Yeah.
Evan
Dude, that's the most Japanese music.
Ben
Yeah. Okay, so how do we get one of those I've ever heard? Can you order one, Ken?
Ryan
Yeah, she says, like, we ship worldwide, everything.
Ben
How much is it?
Ryan
I. I never gotten that bad.
Ben
Tap on the link.
Gavin
They had like a 24 by 32 for like 6 grand.
Evan
That's really good.
Gavin
I mean, you gotta understand all the expensive things of the house are More than just the walls and the roof. It's the foundation, the toilet and the utility.
Liz
The five inch straight pipe, do you need that?
Gavin
Well, I don't know. Do you need water to survive? Do I need somewhere to put my shit?
Ken
Run a crick down there, man. You're good to go.
Gavin
Run a crick. Oh, I saved so much money on my Teemu house, I dug a crick through my property.
Evan
Do you.
Gavin
I rerouted the lake.
Ben
Do you think that the environmentalist would have a problem if we just built it over a crick and just have the right down in.
Gavin
The crazy thing is people would have a problem with that, but it's probably the most environmentally friendly thing you could do.
Ryan
Yeah, you're not digging into the earth. You're not doing anything else.
Gavin
You're just kind of.
Ryan
You're just taking what's. What's in nature and you're just reusing it.
Evan
I'm pretty sure they do that in like third world countries. And then the water source is polluted and then they can't drink the water. So that's why Mr. Beast goes there and makes wells.
Ben
Well, we could send Mr. Beast to Corm.
Evan
Have him build a house for. Build a house for Gavin.
Gavin
We've always wanted to collab with Mr. Beast. So I have to poison the water.
Ben
Saving. Saving a small village.
Evan
That's true. You'd be able to get the title.
Ken
Not bad, man.
Ben
Wasn't Elon Musk living in a like.
Ryan
A popup, like a tiny house to come.
Ben
Tiny house, Ken.
Evan
That's what you should do, bro.
Ryan
Like for your new house pop up thing.
Evan
It should literally just like. I mean, you love Elon, you love efficiency.
Ryan
Realistically, it's all you need.
Evan
You go to Zorbas every night after work to close. All you're doing is sleeping. It's just. You just get a little twin size bed, small box and like a nice toilet and you're set.
Ken
Yeah.
Evan
What you don't eat at home?
Ryan
Just a. Just a bedroom and bathroom.
Gavin
Has anyone put a one of those pickup bed campers in a cyber truck yet?
Ryan
Not that I've seen.
Gavin
Maybe you should just consider that.
Ryan
Maybe just do that. Just get somewhere to charge the truck.
Gavin
And you don't have to drive home. You just stay, stay, stay right in the parking lot.
Ben
Ken, what if you built a tree house?
Ryan
I did cut down most of the trees there.
Ben
Okay. That would make it tough to make.
Liz
Firewood for the one tree you have left to make a tree house. Not firewood, sorry, lumber. Gosh speaking of lumber. Ken's gonna be a lumberjack soon.
Ryan
Oh, my gosh.
Ben
I think he's retiring from being a lumberjack.
Ryan
I don't need to do that again. That was, that was rough.
Ben
That was, that was solely because of your own actions.
Gavin
And I still can't get over that you chopped at that tree for like an hour and a half. But there's like so many people in this world that like swing acts like that for like 12 hours a day, forever. And you act like it was the most cruel and unusual punishment you've ever.
Ryan
This was a very undersized ax for what, what we were using it for.
Evan
If it would have been bigger, you'd have been heavier and you'd have been even more tired.
Ryan
I would have got through the tree twice as fast.
Gavin
I think aim was your problem.
Ryan
I, I, I know aim was my problem.
Ben
And I do not think the axe was the issue.
Ryan
I just don't swing an axe ever.
Ben
We found that out.
Ken
Come on, Ken. How are you going to get firewood for my sister, man?
Ben
Oh, oh.
Ken
What are you going to do?
Ryan
Tell me you were just saying that.
Ken
Dude, I'm giving you the chance right now, man.
Ryan
I mean, even though she's engaged.
Gavin
Don't tell anybody that you have permission to give.
Ben
Don't tell anybody that somebody going to tell her that.
Ryan
What are you trying to say here?
Ken
I want you to be my brother in law, Ken.
Gavin
What's your current brother in law like?
Ken
Cool, but not Ken.
Ben
Kevin.
Evan
That's what honor.
Ben
Ken, what is your Thanksgiving like when you have to sit across the table from this guy? I love him. When you have gone public, you have gone public with saying hundreds of thousands. I wish somebody else was dating my sister.
Ryan
Are you gonna object at this wedding, dude?
Ken
I might have to. You want to show up with me, put you on a 250 yard and it'll be over. Rolling up on that.
Ben
I think Gavin's just living vicariously.
Ryan
What are you talking about, Gav? As much as, as much crap as we give you for not being a true redneck, I think you are trying to be a true redneck.
Evan
There is no more of a redneck.
Ken
Move, dude, I don't want that. No, thank you.
Evan
He's given like, I mean, what an honor, Ken. A redneck like Gavin giving you permission to date his sister, like that's like.
Ryan
As good as it gets.
Ken
But damn right, Ken. It's all you, man. Just make the right moves. Learn how to swing an axe, man.
Ben
That's a very selfless move of You, Gavin.
Gavin
The only thing more valuable than that's a 12 valve.
Ryan
I don't got one of those. I might have to find one.
Ben
Gavin barely has one of those.
Ken
Do I even have one anymore?
Ben
Yeah.
Evan
Why didn't you drive that thing home? Just out of curiosity? After we did the wheels, I was.
Ken
Wanting to drive home, but I got so banged up, man, My freaking shins were killing me. My shoulder was bad. It was time to fly home. There was no driving 13 hours home.
Ben
Yeah. How you doing, dude?
Ken
I'm back to life. Somehow I came out of that tumble pretty darn good.
Ryan
I mean, I see your body still, like, you still got some scars from that.
Gavin
You still got arms, legs.
Ken
Arms, legs. Back is still holding up great. The only thing that really happened is my shin took a heck of a freaking hit. I don't know what happened, but.
Gavin
You don't know what happened.
Ken
I mean.
Gavin
Or you went end over end and rammed him into the steering wheel.
Ken
Exactly what happened. But, yeah, freaking A. Besides, that came out pretty darn well.
Ben
Yeah, that was. That was pretty insane. Yesterday, I watched Gavin hit this jump in a. In a bone stock van three times.
Ken
Bone stock.
Ben
Can we pop up some video of it?
Ken
I got some on my phone.
Ryan
You so. So, Gav. The. The rules were you had to hit this jump one time in a. However many laps. He did.
Ken
Yep.
Ryan
And you did three times in a row.
Ken
I'm not going to lie. I hit it the first time, and it was so much fun. We'll pop.
Ben
We can put.
Evan
Was it, though?
Ben
Was it? Or are you just that much of an entertainer, dude?
Ken
No, I was so ecstatic, dude. We were 50ft in the air, probably.
Gavin
No, not 50ft.
Ryan
We probably maybe five in.
Ben
Holy. You hit your head hard, huh?
Ken
No, we traveled about 50ft. We weren't 50ft high. That went probably about.
Gavin
But you got to add that the jump is the shorter route, so you are. As long as you don't wreck your unit or yourself, you're actually going faster. So there is incentive 100.
Ken
And I had a slower van, so I was like, all right, let's get the boys pumped up here.
Liz
You did say you were gonna jump it three times. And we're like, you know, you don't have to. Yeah, I'm putting on a show. And then you did, dude, with no harness, too.
Ken
That's probably the scariest part about going in the air that big is coming down with a three point harness, which is just a seatbelt and no roll cage. There's no.
Evan
I mean, not much precaution it's really dangerous, honestly.
Ken
It is kind of dangerous.
Evan
Does not get enough credit, in my opinion.
Ken
Somehow nobody ever gets hurt. Mainly probably because they're putting the right guys.
Evan
They are. That's why.
Ken
Right?
Evan
Oh, dude. Everyone's, like, preparing their cars and stuff. I walk over to the van, guys.
Liz
It's like, all business.
Evan
It's a whole different crew. It's a whole different vibe. It'd be like. Like you're out at recess, and then you, like, go around the side of the building to hang with the other guys. Like, you're, like, leaning up on, like, the wall, like, smoking a cigarette. Everyone's doing something.
Ryan
I was standing over by Jake's van for a little bit, and he's just, like, hacking away at the windows of the skateboard.
Gavin
Dude, you gotta do what you got over there.
Ryan
Well, you might have.
Gavin
Or did I just run up and blow one of his windows out with my skateboard? Then very nice lady next to us goes, you just shot glass into my van.
Ben
Really? Like her real van? Like her.
Ryan
No, no, the van Pre van.
Evan
Is that girl racing?
Gavin
No, I think her husband was okay.
Evan
I was like, holy crap, that's crazy.
Gavin
Shout out to her. She was very nice.
Ben
A woman can't do a V. No, I just.
Evan
I just didn't notice that she was out there. I was like, man, that's crazy.
Ben
Yeah, it definitely is a different. Different type of man to do that. Evan was pretty insulted that he didn't get asked to do the van pre.
Gavin
I don't want to say I was insulted. I just think I should be there.
Ken
You definitely should.
Gavin
I think I belong there, honestly.
Ken
We'll get you in the next one.
Gavin
Do you have that control Gaff?
Ken
I mean, I'm buddies with Jim. We can figure something out.
Gavin
Yeah, you buff. Buff it out real good.
Evan
You're 100% in. After that statement of for sure you.
Ben
Want to do it.
Gavin
100%, bro. You know how hard it is for me. I traveled all the way to Florida for, like, three, four days, and I literally don't get to jump in, like.
Evan
Drive, crash, or break.
Gavin
Well, no, but Ben and Mike get to raise Gavin, Jake, everyone's doing fun shit. And just on the sidelines watching these guys do crazy things, I'm like, man, I want to get in the mix.
Ben
It's got to just feel like the ultimate edge.
Gavin
Oh, yeah. And when it comes.
Liz
Oh, yeah, you did say it. You're like, dude, I gotta get in one of the next Cletus races or something. Get that itch Scratched.
Gavin
Yeah. No. And I. Is it fair to say both Ben and Mike, after racing it, like, you're probably more excited about doing a second one than you were to do the first one.
Ben
Yeah, I was actually. I was extremely nervous to do the first one. Everyone I talked to said, you know, there's really nothing to be that nervous about, but I don't know, I was just like, pretty much just reminded time after time also in the same conversation with these same people that I'm a terrible driver.
Liz
Yeah.
Evan
Seen the unicorn crash?
Ben
Yeah. Dude, it was insane. Pretty much every single person I met or talked to, like, hey, how's it going? I'm Ben. Hey.
Evan
Yeah.
Ben
Somewhere in that conversation the unicorn crash came up or. Or like seeing an old friend of like, dude, how you doing, man? I'm gonna stay out of your way. Like, I'm like, oh my God. Word is spread. It was definitely more fun than nerve wracking. Like, after. After doing it, I understand why people race. Like, I was trying to think yesterday, like, if I've actually been in like a sanctioned race before, you know, that's like legit against other competitors. Not for our YouTube video.
Evan
I don't.
Ben
I don't know if I ever have. So I was like, pretty. That's why I was pretty nervous going. Going into it. Yeah. Cuz I've never really done that. And then after doing it, I was like, oh, I get why people do this. It's like the thrill of. Of almost like impressing yourself of like, oh, I did better than I thought I was gonna do. Or I could hang with these guys and just like, you're so close to like first place and you're just like, I could. I feel like I can get there. I can get there. And that's when. When the race ended, I was just like, damn, I want to do it again because I feel like I can get to first.
Liz
Yeah.
Ryan
Both of you guys did so much better than I think any of us expected.
Ben
I think. Yeah, that was pretty much like the overwhelming response after the race. They were like, didn't expect that.
Ryan
Just. Just the fact that you qualified first.
Liz
Was like, that was crazy.
Ben
Still not sure about how that one happened.
Gavin
It was a great Cletus.
Evan
Maybe Cletus threw us a bone. I think he or you were just that fast.
Liz
He came up to me and went like, ben qualified first. How do you do that? And I was like, yeah. And I'm like, I don't know. You tell me.
Ben
Evan still. Evan still is denying that I. That could even be possible.
Gavin
I mean, there's a kidney bean in the track, and you guys were there. I did do the kidney bean, but it's only one lap. You guys run 3 laps or 5?
Ken
3.
Ben
I did the Kidney Bean 3 times and 5 laps. The lap that said that was my fastest was the kidney bean lap.
Gavin
I don't even know if that's humanly possible. I'm just saying, like, the oval is clearly.
Ben
I don't know. But you think that they would just toss it out.
Evan
Yeah, Ben was following other people, too. They also missed the kidney being.
Gavin
I mean, I was unbelievably hyped and proud of you for how it went. It just simply doesn't make that qualifying time doesn't make sense, that's all.
Ryan
I just don't get how you qualified second in your heat, but first overall.
Ben
Yeah, there's a lot of things that don't make sense, but there's a lot of things that aren't adding up.
Liz
Can we get it? Like what? What do we do overall? Sixth.
Gavin
Seven.
Liz
Seven.
Ben
Seven, I think.
Liz
Not bad.
Ryan
Seven three, but I don't remember.
Liz
I got a little funny story to tell. One of the dads that works at the Freedom Factory, his son was a big fan. Not sure how old he was, but let's say he's 10.
Gavin
Shout out to him.
Liz
Yeah, duty. He was so funny. And early in the morning, he's like, hey, I got you and Ben on the race. And I was like, you might want to reconsider. But honestly, I appreciate that so much. And all day he's rooting us on like crazy. Micah, you better win all this. And then at the end of the race, he was so hyped on how well we did, and he's like, I think you did well because, you know, the. Is it the transceiver transmitter and spawn receiver race, whatever that. That they talk to you in? He's like, I kissed your race before I gave it to you. And I was like, all right, I appreciate that. You know, trying to give us good luck. And then he's like, walking away. He's like. And I farted on everyone else's. That's funniest thing I've heard all day. And I'm like, man, you really did want us to win all those other pink eye.
Ben
Yeah, they get, like, earaches. Anybody else have an ear infection today?
Ken
You guys killed it.
Liz
Thanks, guys.
Gavin
Thanks, Cletus.
Liz
Thank you, Cletus.
Ken
Thanks, Cleat.
Micah

Evan
Gav, can we talk about how you don't you're not with your girlfriend anymore or. No.
Ken
Let's run.
Ryan
Are you ready?
Ben
Actually, you don't have to go.
Gavin
So are you ready for piled up half an NBA basketball?
Ben
Don't, don't, don't, don't.
Evan
I feel like you owe it to the audience because you met this gal on the show and now, you know, you guys have gone your separate ways, but you had a pretty good run.
Ken
Had a great run.
Evan
Like longer than anyone expected. Nothing. It's just like. It's like, you know, you look at these game shows, these love shows, you don't think that the people are actually going to, you know, kindle a relationship from it. And I mean, you.
Gavin
You.
Evan
How long was it? Seven months.
Ken
Seven months. I found love. I mean, I. You guys did help me find love. It just wasn't the right fit.
Evan
She was a nice girl, though.
Ken
She was an awesome girl, but just didn't like three wheelers quite as much as I thought she did.
Ben
It's always a three wheeler, Gav.
Ryan
I remember you bringing up that you were trying to thicken her up, but she wasn't getting thick fast enough.
Ken
I don't think she liked that part either.
Ben
I can't imagine why.
Evan
Just mashed potatoes. That's it.
Gavin
You can see Gav adding three extra sticks of butter to like every meal. Food that doesn't even deserve butter.
Ken
Dude, she was freaking awesome. It just wasn't, you know, just didn't completely go together all the way.
Evan
So was it?
Ken
Now I'm on to hopefully finding a new redneck gal.
Evan
I thought you were going to say bigger things.
Ken
And that too.
Ben
Not better, but just bigger things.
Ken
Definitely not better.
Gavin
Dude, honestly, her loss. Where else is she going to find a half ass redneck with a twike and a 12 valve?
Ken
She's not. I mean, you can't find that, right?
Gavin
One of a kind guy.
Evan
Not with all those NBA players she's hanging around, I'll tell you that.
Ryan
Yeah, like you always say, she ain't a lady unless she's 280.
Ken
Damn right. Thank you, Ken. I'm gonna keep that in the back of my head, brother.
Ben
She traded in the 12 valve for a Range Rover. A Rolls Royce.
Gavin
Whack, bro.
Ken
Whack is right. Whack is right. What's that about?
Ben
Yeah, what's up with her?
Ken
I don't know, man. I don't know.
Ben
Must I be thinking with that?
Ken
No, I mean, what the heck's that about? 12 valves forever. Can't beat them. It's the best motor ever made.
Gavin
If they're the best, why are they so slow?
Ben
Bro, yours couldn't even do a burnout.
Evan
Yeah, dude, wait for someone to give.
Ken
Me a hard time about that. I don't know. I don't got anything to say about that. Besides, that's the 1989 model. So there is those Things came extra dog. Like, dude, that's just a freaking dog I have.
Ben
What if you. What if you saw her, like, start dating another guy, but he had a 12, 24.
Ken
Second genuine burnout.
Liz
That reminds me of. That reminds me of real.
Ben
He's got four wheelers of real bros.
Ken
Can you imagine?
Liz
Dude, that reminds me of real.
Ben
You were close, but not quite. It's all right.
Ken
It's how she goes sometimes, man. I'm sure we'll help. Yeah, you guys will probably help me find love again, right?
Evan
Was it. Was it mutual?
Ken
It was definitely pretty mutual. Yeah. It's kind of just like, definitely pretty.
Gavin
Those are contradicting.
Ken
It was mutual.
Evan
Were you crying, dude?
Gavin
I was.
Ken
I wasn't crying. I was upset, though.
Evan
Yeah.
Ken
Yeah.
Ryan
Something that kind of, like, was a slow burn, or is it kind of like a sheesh can get it.
Ken
Let's go into it.
Evan
Like, did you have trouble sleeping for the next week?
Ken
Dude, I was definitely upset about.
Gavin
How much weight did you lose?
Evan
Trouble eating. A lot of trouble eating.
Ken
I still cooked up a steak that night.
Evan
You are handling it pretty well. Do you have any advice to any of the listeners that are potentially going through a hard breakup right now? Because I'm sure there's. There's plenty. Out of, you know, the 100 and whatever, 150, 000 listings.
Ken
My biggest advice would probably be get in the freaking gym, focus on yourself, and just have fun, man. That's really all I'm doing right now is just keep having fun, have fun down here.
Gavin
That was not the advice I was expecting. He's like, grab a three wheeler, get out in the woods, hang out with the boys. But you're hitting the gym now.
Ken
Well, dude, that. I mean, how the heck am I still walking? I've pretty much. Yeah, I'd say that's due to me staying in the gym and keep on working out.
Evan
You can't just only hit trees.
Gavin
You kind of finally are admitting that you're human because for years it was. You could eat any fall with no repercussion. But now you know, you couldn't even drive home, dude.
Ken
I couldn't.
Gavin
You needed to fly.
Ken
I know.
Gavin
Bad. And now you're. And now you're in the gym, right?
Ken
I'm getting a little bit older, but I'm just staying on top of it. I'm still walking. Great. The body feels awesome.
Ryan
Are you delusional on how you feel? Because you were saying, we were asking, like, are you feeling good? And you're like, so good, baby. As you're like hobbling up the stairs.
Ken
I was still feeling so good.
Liz
Ken, that was great.
Ben
How you doing, Gav? So good. He go, how are you?
Ken
Are you good, Gav?
Liz
Oh, yeah, baby. 100. And I go a hundred percent. And you go 70, maybe 30.
Gavin
When you walk down that flight of stairs, you had two hands on the same railing and you had to go one step at a time.
Ken
Too many times have I had a freaking. I hate that you guys don't have a bathroom upstairs, because that really hurts.
Ben
We'll put one in just when you.
Evan
Come over, when you're freaking injured and you don't have to walk down the stairs in the middle of the night every time, man drinking.
Ken
So, like the last last two days, I'm there. It's just hobbling stairs every time, every time.
Gavin
At the very least, I'll get you a five gallon bucket with the lid and the seat and, you know, we'll make do.
Ken
Make a shitter in there.
Evan
I thought you said you didn't want that, Evan.
Gavin
I didn't want what?
Evan
Remember when we were talking about earlier and I said, perfect. You said, where am I supposed to put my shit?
Liz
And then he said, five gallon bucket.
Evan
You said, no, I'm not doing that.
Gavin
Well, I mean, I don't want to be shitting in a five gallon bucket, but, like, if Gavin wants us to build another bathroom on the second story of our shop, like, let's just meet in the middle and buy him a bucket.
Ryan
Backs all jammed up. Don't want to go down the stairs and.
Micah
Yeah, yeah.
Gavin
Or if, like, if I was on the injured reserve, I had a blowout leg or something. Like, I'd probably run a bucket for.
Evan
Ken would be up in his office, and then you'd walk by and you'd see him shitting in a bug and you're like, ken, what are you doing? Oh, I just didn't want to go downstairs.
Gavin
I just see us all eating lunch and Ken doesn't really address any of us. He just walks out the door carrying a five gallon bucket.
Ryan
Go dump it in the ditch.
Ben
I went to the ditch.
Evan
That's what Gavin's gonna ride in. Don't do that.
Gavin
Have fun down there, Gavin.
Ben
That's fun.
Liz
I still just imagine like, you're about to go wash your car and you like, grab a bucket to start loading up with soap and water and a sponge and you're like, damn, whoever washed their car before this was really filthy.
Ben
Why was there corn on their car around his truck?
Liz
You're rinsing it out.
Ryan
Ah, this water sh. Smells a little bit.
Liz
Yeah.
Ben
Have you guys been seeing, like, all the clips of the streamer? Vitali going crazy?
Evan
Yeah, dude.
Liz
Wait, really?
Ken
What's he doing?
Ben
You guys know who Vitali is?
Liz
Yeah, I haven't really, like, kind of heard about him in. In a minute here and there, but.
Ben
Well, he started. He started streaming and, like, I think he does, like, 24 hour streams. Like. Like things that will make a man go crazy. Honestly, can you imagine your entire life being filmed at all times and you not being. And you not being mentally. All right, like, where that could go. I've just been, like, seeing these clips of him just, like, going berserk and, like, firing his cameraman and, like, just being so weird. I was wondering if you guys are getting those too.
Evan
No, not really. But we did talk about this in the past. We gotta bring this clip back up. Remember when he has the. The child predator and then he freaking invites him over and they have the fake broken chair and he sits down to.
Ben
They just did that. They just did that to another one, but they filled the chair up with water. So you sit down in the chair and he got soaked. Yeah.
Evan
That is so funny.
Gavin
I think I said the exact, exact thing last time, but I'll say it again. Like, I am so for that.
Evan
Yeah, dude, I don't feel bad for the person at all.
Gavin
I saw one the other day where they got the dude to strip all the way down naked and was in the bubble bath before they came in to confront them. So you have five grown men and a camera crew, and you're in a bubble bath naked, and they start interrogating you. Like, what are you doing? I'm just hanging out.
Evan
Just hanging out.
Ken
Like something you guys would do to me.
Ben
Not the best timing on that, though, G. And you're so into. Yeah, you're not so with your sister, though.
Gavin
Oh, God.
Evan
Sorry, sorry.
Gavin
Shout out.
Ken
Dude, no, don't be saying that.
Evan
It's a redneck thing. Redneck joke. Sorry. Redneck joke.
Ben
You would imagine it would be a.
Evan
Really funny, really funny prank.
Gavin
Why?
Ben
I don't know. You shout her out and Gavin said, do not be saying they don't be.
Gavin
That's. That's why I shouted her out. Just to fire Gav up a little bit. I noticed this true love, you know, it's kind of one of those brotherly things.
Ryan
I poke a gap, get so defensive about her sometimes.
Ken
Not true love. I mean, I love her as a sister, of course, but.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, like a redneck sister.
Ken
Ken no, no, just a sister, man. Just normal, average sister.
Evan
Stepsister.
Liz
Cj.
Ben
She's a step sister.
Evan
I mean, what?
Ken
She is. That's it, man. I don't know, dude.
Micah
Everybody.
Ken
I don't know. Freaking A. She keeps getting weird messages, though, from people. From her. People are looking up her tanning company now from the last video we made a year and a half ago.
Ryan
Still.
CJ
Still.
Gavin
And shout out her tanning company, tinted.
Ryan
By Lex and Lou.
Ken
Plug him.
Ben
Wait, and What?
Ken
No, just saying good job on Ken. Spray tan. And yes. Yeah, nothing too crazy, but great job on. Came a couple people asking for a number here and there. That piss you off sometimes? No, actually, no, it doesn't.
Gavin
It's fair if it pisses you off. What's important is the reason why it pisses you off.
Ken
It doesn't piss me off. It's just. I want to make sure that she finds the right man.
Gavin
I thought you said she was engaged.
Ken
He might be the right man, but he might be.
Ryan
Or he is.
Ken
Ken, we're waiting to see if you step up to the plate or not, man.
Ryan
You know, I'm not stepping on a little man's territory right now. So.
Ben
Right now, what are you waiting for?
Ryan
You know, it's. It's your sister. I'll let you do whatever you want with her, okay? Step. Step sister?
Ken
No, bro, no. Definitely not, man.
Ben
Oh, dude, I would love to just sit down with her fiance and you.
Evan
Yeah, we should do like an interview.
Ben
And just be a fly on the wall for that conversation.
Ken
It sucks because he is a fan, too. I mean. Yeah, it's not. It does feel bad.
Gavin
Oh, he's a fan.
Ken
He's a fan.
Gavin
Thanks, brother.
Liz
Appreciate it.
Ryan
Oh, yeah, man isn't like a firefighter.
Evan
Wow. What a noble job. And you're just out here, just drag him through the mud, just throwing shade at him. Yeah.
Ken
Sorry, Lexi.
Ben
Dude, this just sucks so much.
Ken
Like, dude, I was so close to being his best man, too, until we dropped the last podcast.
Gavin
No way. You got kicked out because of that or off the list?
Ken
I wasn't invited yet, but, yeah, I'm not on the list now. They have me freaking greeting people in the parking lot or whatever, bro.
Gavin
My sister put me as a greeter, too. I just got drunk.
Ken
There we go. I'm going to do this. Whack is.
Ryan
You're not even probably showing up drunk.
Evan
No.
Ken
Nothing. Just nothing.
Ben
Wow.
Ken
Right?
Ben
Who would have thought?
Ken
I don't know, man. It's all right, though. Ken, step up to the plate, man.
Ryan
So you're you're giving me the green light.
Ken
Go for it, man.
Liz
I mean, at least, you know, he's not an ax murderer.
Evan
Damn right about true, dude.
Ben
Dude.
Liz
Although, one time when you guys went to the Vikings game or something. Remember when Ken did. You know the arcade game, the punching game? You got a one.
Ryan
Oh, yeah, that was in Nashville.
Liz
Nashville, yeah. Like, that's more impressive than getting a 9, 9, 9, 9.
Evan
That's so hard to do, is punch as hard as you can and then just. Just graze it.
Ryan
I think I, like, backed up, and then there was, like, somebody behind me.
Liz
Oh, yeah, you elbowed them.
Ryan
And I think I, like, elbowed them and then kind of like just barely tap the thing.
Gavin
I always say I've broke zero bones, but I do have this broken pinky, and one time I fractured my foot, but I feel like those don't count. I've never had a cast. I've never been jammed up. I also fractured my hand on one of those punching bag machines because I had too many Mountain Dews and missed the bag and punched the machine rock solid. We'll pull the pickup. But my hand was five times the size of a normal hand.
Ben
I've met a couple people that have done that. Like, I think that's more common than you would think.
Ryan
I think those have been removed from a lot of places for that reason.
Evan
Yeah.
Ben
I don't believe it.
Gavin
I think I might have googled it or whatever. Like, because every game, there's a trick to it. So I'm like, how do you get the high score?
Liz
Mark Robert did a. I think you.
Gavin
Just got to be like, I don't even know who that is.
Liz
I know.
Gavin
But either way, you want to hit the bag thin to maximize the pendulum effect, because it's how hard it swings in.
Ryan
You want to hit it on the lowest, low side of it.
Gavin
Hit the low side. Like, you want to barely catch the bag on the bottom. You want to maximize the swing. So if you punch the bag in the middle, as opposed to punching it at the very bottom, it's going to.
Ryan
Get the most speed as it's swinging up.
Gavin
Yes. So you want to aim for the bottom of the bag. So when I did it, I was actually had a plan.
Ryan
Well, you just missed by a little bit.
Gavin
I think I closed the wrong eye. That was my problem. I need to close my left eye when I'm punching. I think I closed my right.
Ben
I don't know. Hey, why is that a thing? Do you close an eye?
Liz
I mean, maybe when you're seeing double.
Gavin
You gotta square up somehow.
Ben
Oh, yeah, I suppose.
Liz
And those mountain dudes were strong. Yeah, it's like there's a sensor, and just however fast the sensor is, like, closed is, so the more velocity you have. But punching the machine's way funnier.
Ben
If I were to bet on who was sitting on this couch that could punch the hardest, I would have to put all my money on Gavin.
Liz
Oh, yeah.
Ryan
100%, actually.
Ken
It's all about technique, and I can't. I was at the bar a couple weeks ago, and these guys are throwing haymakers on this thing. They look over at me.
Gavin
We're talking about a real punch to the nose, Gav.
Ken
Oh, punch the. No, I mean, yeah, but I. Dude, I went on that machine, and I did terrible. These guys are all hyping me up. Dude, you're gonna kill it. You're gonna kill us. Like, I got a bump shoulder. I really can't do this. I go up there and punch, like, a 600. Some girl goes up and does a seven. I was like, oh, God.
Evan
Did you step into it?
Ken
I tried to do everything I could, man.
Evan
You stepped into it, dude.
Ken
I'm not good at technique or anything like that. I kind of just go and raw dog it. That's kind of just how I do everything. And it was. It didn't work on that one.
Ben
Yeah, I think. I think Greta did better than you can. Well, I mean, everyone did.
Ryan
Every single person did better. You can't do. You cannot do any worse than I did, man.
Gavin
You could miss and break your hand.
Ben
I love walking in there and seeing one of those machines, though. And then, like, looking around of, like, who's with our crew? And like, all right, let's. Let's square up, dude. I remember the girls are, like, getting loose like, they're about to do some damage.
Liz
I remember when we were in Wyoming, they had a kickball version of one. Like, you'd kick it as hard as you could. That was kind of fun. Also could end badly.
Ben
Remember it? We fest a couple of years ago when people used to, like, paint bowling balls as soccer balls.
Gavin
That is. That's messed up.
Ryan
That is like. Like, that is messed up. I was gonna say. I was gonna say something else.
Ben
Yeah, it is, Ken. Then what? You just sit there and watch people break their foot. Like, what kind of enjoyment is that?
Gavin
I wouldn't want to be the one responsible for planting it. But say I saw the guy plant it. I might shelter at a safe distance the other way just to watch, because that's pretty funny. It's Very bad. But pretty funny.
Ben
I do believe that, Evan, because literally today you said, nothing makes me happier than seeing other people having problems.
Gavin
That is taken so out of context.
Ben
No, it's not out of context at all. A bird shit on Mike's hat.
Evan
And then you flung it on me.
Ben
And then you were crying, laughing, and then you followed up me going, man, you're an. To you going, nothing makes me happier than other people's problems.
Liz
There's a pun. There's a pun in there.
Gavin
Remember you say the pun. I can't remember what I said.
Liz
Remember either. Something. You know, you're like, ah. You know, I. I love when bad happens to people.
Evan
Bad happens to other people. That's how he said it.
Gavin
Exactly.
Evan
And it was because he had other.
Gavin
People and he had a bird pooped on his head. Like, I don't want bad things to happen to other people. But when a bird poops on one of my best friend's heads, like, I'll be like, oh, it's awesome. When bad happens to good people or whatever. I don't know.
Ben
And then.
Ryan
And then I capitalize on their. Their misery.
Ben
And then I was flinging. Or I had Mike's hat and I was like holding it over Evan's head and he was like, oh, get that out of here.
Gavin
Get that out of here.
Ben
And he smacks it. And then the lands on CJ.
Gavin
It was shirtless.
Ben
And CJ's like, Dude, what the heck? And then Evan's like, great. Now I have to act like I feel bad.
Evan
Dude.
Gavin
Just the hot Florida sun. CJ sitting there shirtless, kind of lathered up. He's got bird shit smeared in the sweat.
Evan
Oh, well, it was funny.
Ken
Dude, you were way sorry when I crashed that 250R and pooped myself. To have what?
Evan
You showed me that video like three times.
Ben
We did get to the bottom of it. You did poop yourself. Yeah, a little bit.
Ken
Little squirt stained. Sorry. Dude. That was a high impact from a 250 R. You can't blame me on that one. Dude.
Evan
How is that possible? Like, did you just have it?
Gavin
You.
Evan
You needed to go to the restroom, but you're like, no, I need to.
Ben
Ride this three wheeler.
Evan
Like, you just hit hard enough that it just somehow came out of nowhere.
Gavin
100 the terminal velocity. He came down so hard his whole body and all the in it was Moving at like 70 miles an hour down. His body stopped the didn't.
Ken
There you go.
Liz
And your cheeks are.
Evan
Don't just rip.
Ben
No. I think he just sneezed. Oh, he ripped out of his hinder. Man. We are out of pocket.
Gavin
Track a window.
Ben
Do something about being in Florida. I swear. Brings out just, like, the worst behavior in us or like the worst manners maybe.
Liz
Right. Well. And it's something about like, just a bunch of dudes standing in a bnb, you know, like everyone just. Everybody just gets a little raunchy, I guess.
Ken
We get raunchy?
Gavin
Yeah.
Evan
What do you mean?
Liz
He just. He literally farted. And Evan could not even control his composure one bit. We're losing control.
Ryan
Everywhere. It doesn't matter what state we're in.
Gavin
But it sounded like someone just tore open a heavy duty burlap sack. Did you guys hear that?
Ben
Yeah.
Liz
No, I'm just saying we could be in a BNB in Nebraska and we'd be laughing at the same shit. It doesn't matter if we're in Florida.
Ben
Yeah. I guess the whole, like, calling it BNB is kind of making me uncomfortable. Maybe bnb. The bnb, baby.
Liz
I suppose because you were thinking it was a bed and breakfast, which would be weird if we all went to that.
Ben
Can you imagine if Ken booked us an Airbnb and the host stayed with us and made us breakfast? That'd be amazing. Breakfast. But, like, was just kind of always just there.
Evan
They wouldn't like it.
Ryan
We saved $13 by letting the host stay with us for the night. It's totally going to be worth it.
Ben
Dude, that's weird, man.
Evan
Isn't that an option?
Ryan
No, not. Not for this one, but who would want it? I think you got to, like, rent out, like, single rooms.
Liz
It could be like a good horror movie scenario or, like, comedy movie scenario. If you end up he's just some crazy dude that ends up taking on the wildest night ever.
Ryan
I forget who it was, but they were saying they flew into a city. They had rented a single room in a house, which was, like, because it was cheap. And they. They showed up and all he wanted to do is go to bed. And their kids were just being absolute terrorists the whole night.
Ben
Know if you could say that, Ken.
Evan
Were they part of what group were they with or.
Ryan
Neighborhood.
Gavin
Neighborhood Crips.
Liz
Neighborhood Terror.
Evan
Neighborhood Terrace.

Between the breaches at UnitedHealth and Ticketmaster alone, over 600 million records have been stolen.

Ben
You guys feel like it's like really dark out really soon? Yeah, more than normal.
Liz
Yeah, it's just daylight savings time.
Ben
No, I know, but it's like every year I just forget.
Evan
Yeah, it's wild, dude.
Ben
It just seems like that and it's just gone. Gone.
Ken
What time does it get?
Gavin
I don't know.
Evan
Why?
Ben
4:30.
Ken
4:30.
Evan
Dude, I don't know why, but I kind of like it.
Ben
Really?
Gavin
Yeah.
Ben
You would love Alaska.
Evan
I wouldn't like it year round, but it's just nice because it's like it gets dark and then it's kind of like, all right, well, go home, make supper, go to bed. Like it keeps you on more of a schedule. Whereas like summer, you're just running around till like 10, 11 o'clock. Then it's finally dark. It gets darker. Like 9, 30, 10. And then you're eating dinner and you're doing whatever else. So you just like, takes a while to wind down. But I don't know, I just kind of like.
Ben
Interesting point, cj. I've never thought of it that way.
Evan
Like, I'm enjoying just like, oh, it's night now. All right.
Ryan
I just really hate the fact that, you know, when I go to the shop in the morning, sun is just starting to come up. And then when I'm going home, it's like pitch blackout. Yeah. It's like you're in a tin building. You just never see the sun during the day.
Evan
But you have windows now, so that's, that's, that's a break.
Ryan
It is nicer, but it's like, you know, you're still just in a building and you go home, you like, you never actually see the sun.
Liz
I think you're on a very good point, cj. I still just am against daylight saving time. Like, it still would get dark early on December 21, the shortest day of the year. It still is like dark gets dark at 4:30. It could just get dark at 5:30. Still pretty early.
Gavin
You know, as daylight, you feel like you have to be active until it gets dark. But when it gets dark early.
Ben
Yeah, yeah.
Gavin
It just makes it okay to go. Go home, watch a little TV on the couch. Yeah, but during the summer you're never gonna do that. It's like it's still light out. We gotta keep rolling.
Evan
It's for sure lame of me to enjoy it, but I'm on that same valley.
Gavin
I enjoy it too. I didn't want.
Evan
It's just nice. Like, I don't know, it's kind of like getting a little breather.
Ken
Sucks how much film time you lose though. You mean?
Evan
Yeah, you just gotta start earlier though. That's the thing. And I like that too, because then it's like we're not starting as late. So you're just utilizing the day better.
Liz
But is there still less light?
Gavin
Yes.
Ryan
Like, I think in October we lost like 70 minutes of daylight.
Ben
You lose two minutes in the morning, two minutes at night.
Liz
We're never going to financially recover from.
Gavin
So when do you start gaining again, Ken?
Ryan
December 22nd. It starts going the 22nd.
Evan
So, I mean, we're damn near to where it's going to be. Uphill or downhill, I should say.
Ben
Man, can you imagine living in Alaska where it's dark 24, seven?
Ryan
That would suck well, it goes dark 24. Seven to being light 24.
Ben
Both of those would suck, but.
Gavin
And there's the transition in between. So, like, the actual severe 100 darks and the hundred percent. What is it smaller?
Ben
How long is it dark? It's dark for, like, 20 some days.
Liz
But even the days on either end where you have three hours of light, like, that would be annoying.
Ryan
I think it would mess with your sleep schedule so bad.
Liz
What's that?
Ryan
You could. Well, I know you don't have, you know, normal people have that.
Ben
I'd be curious, like, what the percentage of, like, depressed people are up there.
Gavin
Oh, it's through the roof. It really is.
Ben
Yeah.
Gavin
Google it.
Ben
Well, that's why drug use is so high, too, I think. I think, like, there's, like, a huge drug influx in areas like that. You ever watched what's the cop show? Like, Alaskan.
Ryan
Alaska State Troopers or something?
Gavin
There's lots of parts of Alaska, I think, that are dry to try to help with. You know, I mean, there's a lot of issues with all the day, all the night.
Ben
It's, like, dry.
Gavin
You can't drink. Alcohol is illegal in parts of Alaska.
Ben
Really?
Gavin
Maybe it has to do with the sleep schedule in the sunlight or maybe it doesn't.
Evan
But we should go to Alaska and do, like, a video or two. It's tough because, like, you can't really do a whole lot of hunt. You can't really do any hunting or they even kind of throttle fishing. But we, like, figure out a way to, like, do an Alaskan experience type of thing. Like, obviously we go, like, dog sledding. That'd be lit. But, like, I feel like you gotta, like, you know, survive off the land or just, like, do a bunch of that stuff. I think it'd be cool, maybe even snowmobiling. You do, obviously snowmobiling if there's snow up there.
Ryan
I think we could come up with like, a. Like, a challenge series where we have to, like, do so many different, like, checkpoints throughout Alaska. And I think we could do it up there pretty easy.
Evan
It could be that, like, we go to Alaska and then you go to South Africa. Polar opposite. Opposite sides of the world. But you're just there in Africa with.
Ryan
A GoPro or your GoPro 3, whatever GoPro you choose.
Evan
I think we could maybe up the quality a little bit.
Ryan
Maybe a four for if we're really feeling bougie.
Evan
Yeah, yeah.
Gavin
It would be kind of fun. You know, we've been talking about Ken going to South Africa with the GoPro what if we all took a week and we all scattered?
Evan
That'd be an insane video. Yeah. And everyone has one. GoPro.
Gavin
I mean, you show up, you show down there.
Ben
Yeah, that would be really nuts.
Evan
You have to go and make a interesting episode, but you go there, no plans. And you get randomly selected where you're going. You get sent there for like, two days. And like, you, you know, you got to make something interesting out of it. I think that'd be super hard.
Gavin
Crazy places in a hat. And you just. You pick it, you look at it like that's where you're going.
Ben
And honestly, I think make do. That's a great idea. I think it would be better, content wise, if it was like, two people like you and I went somewhere. C.J. and Ryan go somewhere. Mike and Ken go somewhere.
Gavin
You don't think me and Mike should go together?
Ben
What do you guys got? We're still in the airport. Drunk.
Ken
Or.
Liz
No, I mean, I literally give you the footage. I'm like, I have a snap of Evan doing. Trying some kickflips.
Ryan
Seven clips that are all 49 minutes long.
Gavin
Oh, the footage is corrupt.
Ben
Oh, I think that'd be really good. You could literally do it. I mean, it'd be expensive, so it'd have to be worth it.
Gavin
Keep it in the States. It'll be way more.
Ben
No, I think you could do one like, Midwest edition. Yeah, yeah. United States edition. And then we go to Europe and you do a Europe one.
Gavin
Can I sent to Tijuana?
Ken
You won't be coming back.
Ryan
You go across that border, you're not coming back here.
Gavin
It might be in my best interest.
Evan
Why would he not be coming back, Ken?
Ryan
I just feel like that area, you show up with some flashy cameras and all that, you're just that a GoPro.
Gavin
I'm bringing a GoPro.
Ryan
Even then, I feel like you start filming around there, the gangs are just gonna swipe you up and we're not gonna see you again.
Ben
I mean, I don't think Tijuana is some, like, undeveloped sketch. Like, I think you're thinking that it's, like, crazy.
Ryan
I think it's like, that's where like, one of the higher crime rates in North America.
Ben
Well, yeah, if you're, like, around in the slums or every.
Gavin
Every big city has a good part and a bad part and a medium part.
Liz
As soon as they're seeing what's up, YouTube, they're snatching you, man.
Ben
I don't disagree with you, Ken. I just don't know if it's like to that degree.
Gavin
Where would you want to go? Ben, real quick.
Ben
Where? If I.
Gavin
Where would you want to go?
Ben
You and I go somewhere.
Gavin
Okay. Me and you? Yeah, me and you.
Ryan
Gotta pick somewhere.
Gavin
You're thinking way too.
Ben
I think I would take you to Amsterdam.
Gavin
Hell yes. Red light district, dude. Let's go right now. Visit all the cafes and cafes, bars, clubs. I want to see it all.
Ryan
All the stoplights.
Gavin
Every last one.
Ben
Terrible.
Micah
I didn't really want to go with the Tijuana was dangerous. But Tijuana is the second most deadly city in the world.
Ken
Oh yeah, you're right, Ken.
Ben
Damn.
Gavin
But still good parts, right?
Ryan
Like every city. But you know, it's just if I'm going to choose the. Choose to go to a place where I feel safe, I'm not going to choose the most deadly one probably on the continent.
Gavin
Is it fair to say that sometimes playing it safe isn't as fun? True, but sometimes you gotta roll the dice, Ken.
Ryan
Well said.
Gavin
Anyways, where would you go, Ken? With Mike. You and Mike, you're the keys.
Evan
Just vacation.
Liz
Oh, we gotta go.
Gavin
That's lame.
Ben
No one wants to see you go drink a pina colada on the beach.
Ryan
Okay, we'll go to switch.
Evan
Honestly, I think it'd be hilarious if Ken can. Everyone else is like going some extreme place and can then like a vacation. Take the opportunity to go somewhere deep sea fishing.
Ben
But we tell him that we're going to these other places. But we just go to the same place as him and we surprise them and we're doing his vacation.
Evan
So we have more cameras.
Liz
No.
Gavin
Yeah, like you guys constantly behind the scenes people to inconvenience him.
Ben
We tell Ken, yeah, man, we're doing this huge video. But we all go just to spy on him and see what he's actually doing.
Liz
Yeah, like you monitor him or if I was with him us for like three days and then reveal yourselves.
Ben
The best content would just be sending Ken and Evan somewhere just on a plane. They don't even have to get off of it. But you just keep feeding Evan drinks.
Gavin
Dude, that's hilarious. You said that. Because me and Mike literally talked about this today. What if you just woke up on a Saturday, we're kind of bored but wanted to get drunk. So you just flew somewhere to get drunk on the plane, got drunk at the airport and they flew right back home?
Ben
Yes. I mean it sounds terrible.
Gavin
Like traveling, it's kind of fun.
Ben
Arguably the worst thing ever. Oh, it sounds like you could like sitting. I don't know why Sitting on an airplane sucks so much because you're not even doing anything.
Evan
But it just like, just uncomfortable and stinky and kind of and like dirty.
Gavin
Depends who you're sitting next to, bro.
Ryan
Well, you're never stinky one, maybe.
Ben
Yeah, Ken, that's not for any of us though. Maybe I'm sitting next to the bathroom. I can't even lean my seat back. Somebody's constantly coming in and out.
Evan
I always have like full grown sized men too. So it's like two of us are freaking. Just like rubbing elbows.
Gavin
Do you consider yourself a full grown man?
Ken
Yeah, full grown man.
Evan
But I'm talking even bigger than me. Like, normally they're bigger than me. So I'm like, these guys get the right to both armrests.
Gavin
Obese.
Ken
I don't like heavies.
Ryan
Thank you, Gav. Bro, there. There's people.
Evan
What?
Micah
What?
Liz
Dude, that really felt like out of left field.
Gavin
Gavin, did you literally just come out of the closet right there?
Ken
Kinda. I think it just happened.
Gavin
You don't like heavies?
Ken
I'm over it, man.
Gavin
What are you into?
Ben
Sisters?
Ryan
Stepsisters?
Ken
No, definitely not into that. Just kind of, you know, medium thick.
Ben
When the fuck did this happen?
Liz
People change, man.
Ken
Thank you, Mike.
Gavin
Not in five minutes.
Liz
What?
Ken
Dude, I don't know. I mean, they always used to tell me the better the falupa, the better tasting the chalupa, and it just wasn't the case, man.
Evan
Falupa.
Ken
You know, the falupa.
Evan
You mean fupa. Hey, your falupa is turning me on so hard right now, dude, that's probably.
Ken
One of the sexiest parts, is when a freaking girl's in a dress and.
Ben
Has a nice F. Bro, you are out of pocket.
Evan
Dude, a fupa out of pocket hangs over.
Ben
I don't know if we can. I don't know if we're going to.
Ryan
Quite a bit of that.
Ken
Sorry about saying that, Gavin. What?
Ben
Reel it in.
Ken
Coming back in.
Evan
No, no, leave it in. I said leave it in.
Ken
Yeah, I don't know. Just kind of happened. It's a Bruce.
Micah
Your dream girl. Like you could pick the whole world. Who is your dream girl? Don't try to be funny.
Gavin
Try to put it out there. And not Lexi. I mean, we know, but dream girl.
Ken
Dude, probably that girl on the fight last night.
Gavin
You could only see her from the waist up.
Ken
That's all you got to see.
Gavin
You're so shallow.
Ben
What was that chick's name?
Ken
Sydney. Should I say that? Yeah, Sydney.
Ryan
I mean, I feel like a lot of people learned what her name is. But just say it.
Ben
Yeah. What's her name?
Ryan
Yeah.
Ken
Sydney Thomas.
Ben
Slide into her DMs.
Ken
Did I?
Ben
Actually, yeah. I mean, I can't imagine. I mean, what, respond? No, not against you, but I. I would imagine a lot of guys are probably sliding into it, but be original.
Evan
And say, hey, do you want to ride three wheelers? Do it right now. Because that's actually like a legitimate thing. And then right now, if she does follow up, you're like, all right, let's go ride three wheelers.
Ryan
Gav, what's the worst.
Evan
You'll win her over from there. You'll win her over. Over from there.
Ryan
What's the worst thing that can happen by you doing that?
Ken
Probably nothing, right?
Liz
Could get punched.
Ken
Could get punched.
Evan
She could. She could reply, come here. Start dating him, they get married, Turns out she's crazy. That'd be the worst thing. That'd be the worst thing, that. He's locked in with her, she ends up divorcing him, taking all of his three wheelers. The only thing he's left with is a 12 valve and a little.
Ben
Don't.
Ryan
Don't tell him that.
Evan
Sorry.
Gavin
Tits like that, it would be worth the run. Beat it up while it lasts, buddy.
Ryan
I do agree.
Ben
Oh, my gosh.
Evan
I don't agree. Dude, losing all your.
Ryan
Be worth it for the three months of enjoyment.
Ben
But what you.
Evan
You lose everything, Ken.
Gavin
Only three months?
Ben
That's where your bar is, huh?
Ryan
I mean, with those tits. Yeah.
Ken
So. Yeah. What does a guy even say in a DM like that?
Evan
Yeah, I just told you what to say, dude.
Liz
I think exactly that said was actually good. But, you know, it is up to you because the first impression is always the most important. Everybody knows that.
Gavin
I'd say something.
Evan
Yeah, she doesn't even have that many Instagram.
Gavin
I'd say something crazy.
Ryan
Like 200,000 in, like 24 hours.
Gavin
You gotta catch your attention. All right, what do we set yourself apart?
Evan
375K.
Ryan
Dude, she was like, one something last night.
Gavin
Tell her you just picked up a couple gallons of canoli oil and you're not deep frying fish tonight.
Ken
She's not gonna respond to that, brother. I am not saying that.
Evan
So how Gavin discovered this girl is from. We were watching the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight, and this girl was one of, like, the ring girls who just stands behind like a robot. Just like.
Gavin
Those were not robotic tits.
Evan
It's more like this, like. And I'm like, why are you. Like, you don't have to smile the whole time. Oh, you probably do. They told you, but looks a little weird.
Ken
Look pretty cute, though. All right, so just say, hey, do you want to go red three wheelers sometime? Emoji.
Evan
No emoji, no emoji. I bet you she'll see it, dude, just because you have a lot of followers. So, like, it will raise up in the DMS and then shoot. Like, I'm sure she also has tons of rappers and all celebrities and athletes and, you know, I mean, 65 million people watch that flight, that fight. So I'm sure there's lots of other guys that think she's pretty just like you, right, that are DMing her. But you'll be in the. In the upper s. Do I have.
Ken
Any chance, you think?
Evan
Absolutely, bro. I think. I think if she meets you, then it's a lock. Like, it's. It's done. But. But getting her to meet you, that's gonna be the hardest part.
Liz
Okay.
Ben
You know, I think we gotta get Ken.
Liz
I think we get him to fire one out.
Evan
Yeah, he's talking big right now.
Liz
Yeah, he's talking big.
Ken
Not my sister. But yeah, let's do it.
Liz
Yeah. So wait.
Ken
Whoa.
Gavin
Yeah.
Evan
Enough with your sister.
Ben
Oh, yeah, yeah. You probably got dropped.
Gavin
That probably should. But, like, you just were encouraging, dude.
Evan
Your redneck not southern. So you don't need to always be thinking about your sister.
Ken
Okay, I'll remember that. Got it, got it, got it.
Gavin
Control, alt, delete all images in your head. Gav.
Ken
Gone.
Liz
All of them? Yeah.
Ben
All right, good.
Liz
You remember.
Ben
Off to a good start.
Liz
Remember what happened to SpongeBob when he did that?
Ben
Yeah, he deleted everything.
Liz
Hi. How are you?
Ken
What kind of girls does Ken like?
Ben
Let's find out.
Liz
Gavin just fired a DM to his current kind of dream girl. So we were thinking, wondering. Wondering if you would do the same.
Ryan
Who's the other chick next to her?
Liz
Yeah, there we go.
Ben
There we go, bro.
Gavin
She was pretty cute, too. Everyone was. I actually felt bad for her because everyone was clearly talking about the one on the left. I'm like the one on the right.
Ryan
The one on the right was just as good. It's not bad.
Ben
Her.
Ryan
She just wasn't blonde.
Ken
Dude, let's set up a double date. Ken.
Gavin
The girls don't show up, you guys still run it?
Ben
Yeah.
Ken
Ken. Yeah? What is your ideal version of a first date, man?
Ryan
First date? I don't know.
Gavin
Don't tell me it involves jet skis or snow skis. I don't know.
Ryan
You gotta, like, meet the girl and chat a little bit.
Gavin
I Mean, you've already met her. You're going to be sit at home.
Ryan
And watch a little Netflix.
Ken
No, you're not taking. Where are you going? Take her.
Ryan
Maybe go to topgolf or something.
Evan
There you go. Maybe not.
Gavin
No, no, you don't want.
Ben
No, no, no, no. Do not take her golfing.
Ryan
What's wrong with that?
Gavin
Unless your.
Ben
Your golf game is the.
Ryan
Yeah, my golf game is bad, but I'm not like, most people are bad at golf. Not everyone's like a high school golf pro like you were.
Gavin
I would literally put my money on any random stranger over you. Like, that's.
Ken
There's a.
Liz
There's a good video idea. Send him into a crowd of people blindfolded, and he points at one person and we ask him, and then they have to face off for a thousand bucks. And there we go.
Gavin
I think you need to find something that you really excel at, and then you turn that into the first date so you can really impress her. So, like, what are some of your impressive qualities?
Ryan
Well, ev.
Gavin
I.
Ben
Don't.
Ken
Say that. Freaking say it, bro.
Ben
Stop.
Gavin
Just.
Ryan
Just keep going up. What are you gonna say? What's the second part of this quest? What's the second part of this?
Gavin
No, nothing. Absolutely nothing. Can I. I want to know, like, if you want to impress a chick, how would you wow her? What would you show her? What's bigger than any.
Evan
I see where you're going with it.
Gavin
Okay, nuts off the table. What would you do?
Ben
Gavin, you're probably the manda to give him some recommendations. The guy that's actually, you know, playing the game, he's in the field, right? What do you even do for a first date? Yeah, like, what are you doing?
Ken
What am I doing? I'm probably taking her on a three wheeler. So we're gonna start off with a.
Ben
Nice going to family dinner.
Ken
We're gonna start off exactly. So, yeah, we're gonna start off with a nice Italian dinner or whatever and then probably go fire up a 350extra 250R and just show her what hopefully it starts.
Gavin
Italians.
Ben
Best thing to do the first date.
Ken
100% man.
Gavin
Why? Why Italian? That's heavy.
Ken
Get some wine.
Gavin
You might want to eat light, you know?
Ben
What do you mean, get her on a three wheeler?
Ken
All right, the 350. Put her on a 110. See if she's capable of figuring it out.
Gavin
Really more of a straight up youp're.
Ben
You're putting her beyond the scouting.
Ken
Oh, you kind of got it. Exactly.
Liz
I love that it's Instead of like, yo, let me teach you, and then you kind of like, sit behind her, right? Nuts to butts. No, it's like, no. I need to see how well you three wheeler.
Ben
Gavin, you. Honestly, bro, you walk the walk. Like, I believe that you actually do this.
Evan
I do, too.
Ken
Yeah, I do. Yeah.
Ben
Yeah. How do you know that you got yourself, like, a good one, then, like, off of the first date, like, what are you looking for, dude? Ken, like, what are you looking for? Like, in their riding or, like.
Ken
Yeah, definitely. Definitely a good. Good riding stance. You know, you got to see good posture. She's got to be able to get down and, you know, really ride that thing. But besides that, just have a good personality. That's what I'm. Yeah, that's the biggest thing I kind of learned from my last relationship is just, you know, find somebody that you kind of mesh really well with and can find that vibe. So that's the biggest thing. Find the vibe. And then after that, look at the posture.
Gavin
So is this a tryout or a first date?
Ken
Kind of both.
Ben
Yeah. I don't know if you're the one to send in to help Ken. That's what I just figured out. Okay.
Liz
Yeah.
Gavin
I look at Gab's first date like an NFL training camp. Like, he's on the sideline with a clipboard. No whistle.
Ken
Yeah. Referee shirt on and everything.
Ben
I think we're finding out why Gav is having a hard time at love.
Gavin
Like a college football recruiter.
Ben
Most of these girls are like, I don't want to ride a three wheeler. I. I like that you like three wheelers, but I. Why do I have to ride them, dude?
Ken
I probably gotta accept that here. Sooner or later, I'll buy her a four wheeler. Sadly or something. I don't know.
Gavin
What if all she wants to ride is you can.
Ken
What if what? She rides me.
Gavin
She doesn't want to ride machines, period. Gav, it's not how many wheels it has. She just simply isn't interested in riding anything.
Ben
Yeah, I think. Have you ever maybe just accepted that?
Ken
I mean. No.
Gavin
She'S not the one. I guess if she can't accept it, she ate the one.
Ben
Why would I?
Ken
I mean, dude, I want a girl.
Ben
That rips, I guess. Fair, right?
Evan
You know, probably start at the motocross track then.
Ken
That's a good spot, huh? They like dirt bike guys.
Ben
Yeah. No, Ken, I think maybe you too, Gavin, being that I think you need help too. I think you think that you got it handled, but I'm not sure that you Do I think we gotta, like, help you guys out and get, like, a proper wingman. There's a guy on YouTube, his name is Nick Narcina. He's like, the king of, like, hooking people up with.
Ken
With. With pretty girls.
Ben
Yeah, with two girls and kind of just wingman in them. And I talk to Nick all the time, so I. I want. I. I want to make this happen.
Evan
Dude, that's actually. Would be a really good video.
Ken
That'd be so much fun.
Evan
Holy.
Ben
Ken does the opposite of what we want. So there's no way that we could wingman him. There's no way. So we have to go, like, the outside help.
Ken
What bar would we hit?
Ben
I.
Evan
Probably a lot of them.
Ben
Yeah. No, I think you'd have to go to something, like, somewhere where there's something.
Ryan
More exotic, the norm.
Ben
Maybe the zoo.
Liz
That's funny.
Gavin
You can judge a lot of a woman by what her favorite animal is. You find a woman that likes otters or something cute. If she's into the rhinos and the bears, I'd steer clear.
Ken
Really? What's up with the rhino?
Gavin
I made everything up.
Liz
It's like, you don't have anything to stand on there.
Ben
Yeah, that's a good point. Like, if she's into snakes, probably clear spiders, for sure.
Gavin
If she's a tarantula girl. Run.
Ryan
Horses. Get.
Ken
Dude, you do get out of the room. You got to watch out for those horse girls. They are crazy.
Gavin
God damn, they're fun.
Ryan
They are crazy, though.
Ken
They are. Psych.
Gavin
That's the fun part. Dude, there's. There's literally two types of women in this world. Horse girls and everyone else. No, it's just like horse girls and nurses. They literally all end up in that category. Are they crazy, or are they going to take care of you?
Ken
What?
Ben
No, I think that's just your experience. No, horse girls and nurses are in the same category.
Gavin
No, they are not. No, no, no, no, no.
Liz
Could be.
Gavin
There's some overlap there, but. No, no, no, no. Really opposite ends of the spectrum.
Ben
I mean, from. I'm an outsider. I. I've never. I've never partaked in a horse girl or a nurse or anything like that. Like, dated. I wouldn't know. You would know. You would know much better than I would. Honestly, I'm just going off of what you've told me. Honestly, I'm just going off of everything you've ever said.
Gavin
All I know is my friend Slim says horse girls or no, nurses know how to do things. The horse girls do things.
Liz
That'S hilarious.
Ben
Okay, all right, so if you got horse girls and nurses on one on each side, right?
Gavin
A teacher nurse.
Ben
Side nurse. Hair salon or horse.
Ryan
Horse.
Ben
Okay, Marketing horse.
Ken
Dude.
Liz
Out of context. Just that little clip with marketing horse.
Gavin
I just want to throw this out there. There's a reason why I'm with a nurse.
Liz
Take care of.
Ben
Yeah, I think you need to be taken care of.
Gavin
Believe me, she takes care of me. Shout out. Nikki Jo.
Ben
You have just been such a good guy that's covering his tracks.
Evan
Covering his tracks here.
Gavin
Like a cat in a litter box.
Micah
Oh, no.
Gavin
All right.
Ben
Okay, Well, I think on that note, probably just wrap it up there then.
Evan
Our most. I was gonna say vulgar, but not really. We're just in the right vibe, you know, like, we're all, like Mike said.
Ben
We'Re all just like.
Evan
The boys are just hanging out and just. You can crack anything. Anything's funny. Everything's funny. We've just been goofing for the last two days, and that's the perfect time to sit down and run a pod, you know? Yeah, we had a day of just chilling.
