Transcript

[A]

You guys aren't allowed back at that Broadway Square for a year.

[B]

It's like, at the end of the summer, like, where did the girls go? As soon as the boat was out of the water, though, they just stopped hanging out with you.

[A]

This is my 63rd get time.

[C]

All the women at the same bar were just flocking through that.

[D]

And he got struck by lightning in the same weekend. No.

[E]

I almost want to pick up right at the 4th of July here. Kenjamin.

[A]

Yeah, that's. That's where we start.

[E]

I mean, Henjamin, we gave you a lot of power by giving you the world's smallest pontoon. I mean, that thing is an absolute magnet.

[C]

Took a lot of responsibility. Almost flipped that thing over.

[D]

I'm.

[E]

I'm glad that you understand the responsibility that you now hold.

[C]

All the women at the sandbar were just flocking through that thing.

[A]

Yeah. I want to know. Like, Ryan and I weren't there. I want to know how it started. You know, you troll, you.

[B]

How it started. Ken showed up. Yeah. And the rest happened.

[D]

Really?

[B]

Yeah. That was about it. It was like the first domino that. That sent the rest falling.

[E]

It's like, Ken shows up. All these guys on their big, long, expensive pontoons are kind of like, what's. What's going on here?

[D]

And then, like, why is this guy so little?

[E]

All of a sudden, they're like, oh, this guy needs some help anchoring down. So everyone's helping them because everyone wants to get around this thing.

[D]

Oh, wow.

[E]

Next thing you know, the guys leave their wife stay.

[C]

And then. That is a very accurate description.

[E]

And then. And then. And then. Not only was it. Was it wife's, but then, like, these younger girls start coming on.

[B]

Yeah. My girlfriend. My girlfriend actually ended up over there for a little bit. That was pretty disturbing.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

That was the scary part. I did notice there was a couple women on there that were taken. So there was a good point.

[B]

But I was like, what am I going to say? You know, like, I gave. I gave him the present.

[C]

You know, you're just dealing with the repercussions at that point.

[B]

Exactly. Right? Yeah.

[E]

So Ken's got all these girls on. One girl's kissing them and stuff.

[D]

Really?

[E]

Oh, it was. Wow.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

It was pretty awesome.

[C]

You missed the event.

[D]

Yeah, dude. I. I had to keep my girlfriend on a different lake.

[E]

Like, look at this, dude. It was so many people. He couldn't even get. There was no room for him on, like, it was time to go. And they were all still on his pontoon. And then Right here. It starts like almost tipping and I get nervous cuz it's like three, four feet of water. I was worried someone's gonna get pinned underneath it if it did tip. So I'm trying to combat it. I'm help. Help.

[C]

Maybe two of the girls like bailed. Yeah, they just jumped in the water and Nothing was like a 45 degree. They just bailed.

[D]

Wow. Did you get them back?

[E]

They tried hopping back on.

[C]

We had to limit the capacity.

[E]

Like no more girls. No more girls.

[B]

Yeah. Greta was actually pretty upset with you, Ken.

[C]

For what?

[B]

Well, that you would put her life in danger like that with a pontoon.

[C]

I mean it's just kind of assumed at that point.

[B]

Yeah, you assume risk when you're hopping on that thing.

[E]

Yeah. You don't know if you're going to have a great time, get drunk or.

[A]

Fall off or fall in love or.

[E]

Do fall in love.

[B]

It was funny though when we pulled up, you know, Ken was kind of mingling with some of the other pontoons and obviously very quickly the wives were, you know, really eyeing up the mom chaser. And then the tides seem to have turned real quick for the husbands to immediately start not liking Ken. Oh, like it was like. Did you notice that too?

[E]

Yeah, they're counting that like people that.

[B]

Were like kind of, kind of boys with, at the sandbar. And then Ken shows up in this thing and then they, they really flipped on.

[E]

They weren't too sure about it. Yeah, they've like, I mean they're still paying loans for their big pontoons. Ken pulls up on a tiny pontoon. $3,000 pontoon. Every chick on the sandbar is on it.

[C]

I, I did have to keep it away later in the weekend just so we didn't have issues with some of those people.

[D]

That's what I was gonna say. Like small town, you know, there's only so many guys, only so many gals. It's kind of like a whole, you know, that you got to play chess when you're talking to ladies like that. And you had all of the, all the pieces, whatever the little chess dice thing are called. They're all in your, in your court.

[E]

It's amazing.

[A]

I just love the idea of Ken maybe having a bigger pontoon being like, dude, think of how many girls you could fit on this. And then like that being the whole reason. Yeah, he's just alone on this like huge 26 foot pontoon.

[C]

I think it just needs to be wider.

[A]

Yeah, I just doesn't have to be.

[C]

Any longer, just wider.

[A]

I, I Just it's built with, you know, full size pontoon, so it. The capacity is there, but the top heaviness is a serious problem.

[D]

Like.

[E]

Yeah, teeters.

[D]

Did your chair hold up?

[C]

It did hold up that time, so.

[E]

Even had a girl sitting in his lap.

[C]

Wow.

[E]

Didn't break.

[B]

Dude, that would have actually been really bad if it did break.

[E]

It was so packed on. I don't know if they would have been able to fall backwards. Pack like sardines.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

So it was just.

[D]

It's amazing. I feel like you guys really nailed it with this gift for Ken. You know, after years of it, it only took.

[C]

I don't even know how many toilet related gifts before you finally.

[B]

I mean, they haven't all been toilet related.

[C]

Yeah, there's been a more than your fair share.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'd say the majority of them have been toilet related, but I wouldn't say all of them. Ken, don't forget about the earrings that I gave you.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Well, you initially gave me fake ones.

[B]

But I did get you real ones.

[D]

Where are those? I forgot about that.

[C]

I think they're in my bathroom somewhere.

[D]

Are your ears still.

[C]

No, I took them out and then they just closed up after.

[D]

I feel really dumb. But when did you get your ears pierced?

[C]

When everyone else got the. Oh, you don't. You never had to go through the piercing phase?

[D]

No, cuz I ran really fast. But you also. That's right.

[C]

To do the nipple.

[E]

How did you.

[B]

How did. Yeah, how did that come to be?

[D]

There's so many things that happen.

[B]

Did you opt out a nipple?

[C]

I opted out a nipple initially.

[B]

And then you ended up getting it eventually.

[C]

I forget what it was that made me get my nipple pierced, but yeah.

[D]

Why don't you wear those?

[B]

Wait, so you had your ears pierced initially?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

And then you eventually got your nipple?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

How did you not get out of that? Oh, it was parking in front of the garage door, wasn't it?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, and then Ryan had to back in. And if Ryan backed the trailer in, Ryan's back the trailer in.

[D]

And that was for the ears.

[A]

Right.

[D]

Or that.

[B]

That was the nipple.

[C]

That was the nipple.

[D]

Got it. What was the ears?

[A]

What was the ears?

[D]

Because how do you not remember you got your ears pierced?

[C]

This was like three years ago.

[D]

@ this point, I feel like I should remember too. So many things happen around.

[C]

Here. I don't remember what we did last.

[B]

Is. I'm trying to think too. I can't remember that.

Problem. I think ears pierced Ken was my favorite version of you.

Weeks? It was like a summer.

[A]

Abroad. It was like a month and a.

[B]

Half. Oh, eight.

[D]

Weeks.

[B]

Really? Ken was gone for eight weeks, and then he came back and the dude didn't know anything. It was like he went to Mars or one of those planets that, like, you know, has.

[D]

A. A dark.

[B]

Side? No, like a shorter day. And then it's like one day. There is. Is like seven years here. Yeah, it was, like, stellar going on right now. It was like ken experienced, like, five days in Europe, and it was like 17 lifetimes here. He came back. You didn't know a single thing.

[E]

Of what was going.

[C]

On. You guys get all these inside jokes going. If you're not a part of.

[B]

The. You're still not a part of the inside.

[C]

Jokes. So then you just like, oh, what the fuck is.

[B]

That? I feel like never really did recover from.

[D]

Europe. That one did put you just that eight weeks behind because we met so many new.

[C]

People. You guys started the chicken coop when. When I was.

[D]

Gone. It was when we started kind of all really hanging out and probably started, like, boozing and hanging out with girls and stuff like that. So so much changed before.

[A]

That. It was just growing.

[D]

Down. Hanging out at.

[A]

J. Hanging.

[E]

Out.

[B]

Yeah. So was Ken gone when we started, like, hanging out with girls? Way back in the day, Ryan had this boat that it was just like a straight up sausage fest for, like, the first three years of going on it. Right. It was just like, probably 18 dudes every single weekend.

[D]

Right. It was lit. It was so.

[B]

Fun. And then you made a friend and she would bring her friends over, right? Yeah, I remember that. Because you weren't wheeling all of them. I know.

[D]

That. Oh, for.

[B]

Sure. Any of them, Actually, now I think about it, it quickly turned from, like, just all sausages to a pretty solid.

[D]

Ratio.

[B]

Yeah. If I remember correctly, I remember.

[D]

We'D pull up with all the guys on the lake, and they'd be like, damn, you guys brought all the.

[A]

Girls. And I used to literally say that about you. I would just be like, man, I love having Ryan as a friend because he's got a boat and it's always full of girls.

[E]

Man. Well, I can't even, like the.

[B]

Weird. But the weirdest thing, the weirdest thing that we realized, and I still don't quite understand this is like, at the end of the summer, like, where did the girls go? Like, as soon as the boat was out. As soon as the boat was out of the water, though, they just stopped hanging out with.

[A]

You. A lot of.

[B]

Them. What was up with that? Can you might experience this. This is about to be a brutal awakening for.

[D]

Ken. Learn from my mistakes, lock a couple down, and also get something to do in the.

[C]

Winter. We just got a trailer at.

[B]

South, so we named Ryan's boat the SS Gold.

[D]

Digger. We even put a gold sticker on the back of it that said.

[B]

SS Gold Digger, which is what you.

[A]

Do when you name a boat. I need a.

[D]

Decal. I have a great picture of me next to it on my Instagram.

[E]

Actually. My God. Like, your mom was.

[D]

Proud. I would say she was the opposite of.

[E]

Proud. I remember she wanted to take it.

[B]

Off. I think he was pretty proud. I think there is looking out and seeing Ryan with 12 chicks on the.

[D]

Boat. He probably knew. He's like, none of these chicks even want to talk to my kid. But at least they're on the boat, you know? Yeah, I do remember that. I was thinking back this weekend because we hosted a ton of people throughout the weekend, and Sunday night came around. I go, I'm exhausted. And then I remembered being, like, 18, and that's how it was every weekend. I go, man, my mom had to hate.

[B]

That. Yeah, but we never.

[D]

Drank. Like, oh.

[B]

Yeah. We were just, like, straight chilling. That's true. Doing it for the good.

[E]

Time. Still make a mess Though and.

[D]

All. Yeah, it's just like the cleaning up and stuff like.

[E]

That. It gets just kind of trashed like pretty quickly when you have so many people over eating, drinking, whatever.

[D]

And. Yeah. Go through so.

[E]

Much. It's like a tornado just goes through and they're.

[B]

Gone. Yeah, that was.

[E]

Ryan's. Always fun.

[B]

Though. Ryan's parents house. Like our entire childhood though, that was the go to spot. Like every friend group has like the go to spot and ours kind of bounced around. But most of it was at your parents.

[D]

House. Yeah, we would.

[B]

Just. Yeah, we probably left just a trail every time we'd.

[D]

Leave. My God. Yeah. Used to come over and. So Ben doesn't have unhealthy food at home and that's why he's so healthy. But he would come over and then eat all my like sugared cereal and stuff like.

She's just laughing, just out loud, like, kind of hysterically laughing. Was, like, laughing. And he's like, what's so funny? And then she's like, I don't know. It's just funny. Like, if you know, you know Mike, then it's funny. He's like, am I being recorded right now? And I was like, look him in the eyes. I'm like, no, no. And then he's like, oh, I just didn't know if I was gonna make it up on YouTube or not. Like, he was in a good mood, but yeah. And again, he didn't seem like he knew much. He's like, I'm just supposed to let you know I don't know what it's about, but you guys aren't allowed back at that Broadway Square for a.

[E]

Year. So all of us are just you probably assuming all of.

[A]

Us. Assuming all of us. At the very least, Evan and I. Which is fine. We don't really do.

[E]

Anything. The Broadway.

[D]

Square. I wasn't there, by the.

[A]

Way. You.

[D]

Weren'T? I was. I was driving the truck around, running hot.

[B]

Laps. All right. Probably good you're in this one. Nope, that's not how it works. One falls, we all.

[D]

Fall. Yeah. I mean, you're.

[C]

Right. This is when an alias comes in.

[E]

Handy.

[B]

Alias. What are you.

[D]

Gonna.

[B]

Holy. I'm.

[D]

Grant.

[B]

Wow. I never thought of.

[D]

That. Maybe it could be that it was because you were associated with that lady who was then destroying the flowers, even though you did.

[A]

Not. And that actually could be. So maybe I should get more information about.

[E]

It.

[B]

Yeah. Maybe that was her.

[C]

Girlfriend. I was talking to one of the guys who does, like, maintenance for the city of Fargo, and he was saying they've been trying to, like, catch that lady vandalizing all the downtown flower pots for, like, a.

[D]

While. No way. We had it on.

[C]

Video. It's on.

[D]

Video. Nice.

[E]

Bro. They should.

[D]

Be. Thank you. And we're getting freaking trespassed, I guess.

[B]

Wow. Thanking.

[A]

Us. That would be really funny if it was just me, and it was because I was giving her a.

[D]

Ride. So.

[B]

What? We can't walk on that side of the street or, like, that.

[A]

Side. That's what I asked him. I'm like. I mean, we were just on the sidewalk, and he's like, the sidewalks. Fair game, as far as I know. But they put an ice skating rink up there in the winter, and I'm just imagining going on, like, a nice, fun ice skating.

[B]

Date. Oh, and you get.

[A]

Tackled.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Wanted. Mike's going around, like, wearing a.

[E]

Mask. So we can't go there, and we can't go to.

[A]

Ndsu. Yeah. And something tells me the same thing would happen if we went there. That happens when we go to ndsu.

[E]

Nothing.

[B]

Yeah. So, Mike, we.

[E]

Haven'T. You should go take a picture and post it. Just like, standing posted up at.

[B]

Broadway Square in a.

[E]

Wonderful. Have a mustache on. Be like, you can't catch.

[D]

Me. Oh, my.

[B]

Gosh. Over yours. That's like Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports got banned from all NFL games or maybe just the super bowl, but he snuck into the super bowl wearing a mustache like the most obvious fake.

[E]

Mustache. I think that's.

[D]

Hilarious. It is kind of funny because, like, downtown Fargo is riddled with crime, like, everywhere. I mean, real crime, like murders, stabbings, drug.

[B]

Use. I'd imagine that their problem was probably riding it over that little wooden bench. But also, what's the wooden bench there for? These things are pretty much just glorified mountain.

[D]

Bikes. Like, yeah, we didn't damage.

[B]

It. Like, there's no.

[A]

Damage. I thought it was from. Was when we rode over that. Which the best part about that is when we pulled up to that area, Evan was like, dude, I don't like this. I want to.

[B]

Go. Never.

[A]

Does. And then I'm just like, you wuss, we're fine. And then we just got to ride over this thing once or twice. He's like, we're out in the open, and he was, like, so sketched. And then we end up getting in trouble. Even though I told him about it and he thought it was fun, he.

[B]

Probably. Oh, I was going to say, does he know about this? Because we should bring them back and, like, have, like, a sign that just says, I am Evan Chef. And just be like, yo, we're just doing, like, a bunch of photos of us, like, around town here and have him do this right on the corner there and then call him.

[A]

In. No good. But probably.

[D]

Fine. Yeah, probably.

[B]

Fine. I'd say that one's probably all.

[D]

Right. I feel bad because it's not really that funny to be like, oh, we got. We apparently pissed off somebody. Some giant statewide billion dollar corporation decided that we were upsetting their flow of their unit there. It is kind of funny that Sydney was like, it's so funny that my boyfriend is being charged with.

[B]

Trespassing. She liked that.

[D]

Huh? Bad boy.

[A]

Baby. And I'm just like, cut it.

[D]

Out. You're like, stop laughing. The cop hasn't left.

[A]

Yet. That's usually how I have. Good luck with officers. Just be very straightforward and no jokes, no sarcasm. They don't want not.

[D]

To. Like, they don't.

[A]

Like. Typical.

[B]

Micah. That's probably pretty tough for you then.

[A]

Mike. Dude, cops do not like sarcasm. That's for.

[D]

Sure. I mean, I don't think I like.

[B]

Sarcasm. Most people.

[D]

Do. I mean, like, I don't know if this is groundbreaking information, but, like, we don't really like the.

[C]

Sarcasm. Sometimes that has to be so tough for you because you are, like, probably one of the most sarcastic.

[D]

People. That's.

[A]

True. But it is tough because sarcasm, it's like, a little bit of comedy, too. So if someone Says something and then I'm sarcastic back and I get a room full of laughs. Then does feed the.

[B]

Fly. How often is it followed up with laughs and not followed up with us just.

[A]

Going. I would say, like, over half the.

[B]

Time. Probably just different.

[A]

Crowd. Because if you guys are on the same page and I'm sarcastic to you as a whole, well, obviously that's not gonna go well for.

[D]

Me. I think it also depends on the situation, too. We're annoyed, then. Then it's no good. But, like, if it's a funny scenario. Yeah, then we're gonna laugh. I don't want to relay the news on this one because I feel like it doesn't need to be said, but you guys hear about.

[B]

Sketch. I.

[A]

Did.

[D]

Did. I think it should be like, I did. It's.

[E]

Okay. I did. Yeah, I.

[D]

Did. Everybody does things they're not proud of. His just came to.

[E]

Light. Feel bad for the guy, man. He's had a weird.

[D]

Blowup. What a whirlwind of, like, the last, I mean, what, six months of his.

[E]

Life? Yeah. I mean, it hasn't been strange. Like, the. He's definitely a very different.

[A]

Individual.

[E]

Yeah. Not saying in a bad way, but it's like, there's so.

[A]

Many. And his apology showed that it was size to sketch. It was funny, but it was.

[E]

Heartfelt. But, yeah, he was funny in his apology. I like that he.

[A]

Wasn'T. It's like, in a sense, he wasn't intentionally being funny or sarcastic. He was just, like, being.

[D]

Sketch. I know I was kind of, because I saw there was a video, and apology videos never hit. Like, I've never watched one where I'm like, nice. I now feel apologized to. And then when he walks in, he goes, gotta address the elephant in the room. I got a haircut. I just burst out laughing, dude. I was like, God. And I. I feel bad that I don't even know if we should call it an apology video, because. Is it, like. I mean, he did apologize, but does he need.

[B]

To?

[D]

Right? I don't.

[A]

Know.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I guess that's kind of where I'm maybe a little bit.

[E]

Confused. Do anything.

[B]

Wrong? That's right. Like, I was. I was curious, like, what. What the video was or, like, what he was doing that he, like, had to apologize about it.

[E]

For. But I think you gotta just look it.

[B]

Up. Honestly, man, I was less surprised that he had, like, a gay leak than I was that he could drop bars the way that he does. Like, the way that he freestyles. That one was, like, made me like that one, I actually had to like sit up out of my seat and been like, where did this come.

[E]

From? Are we able to pull that.

[D]

Up? Yeah, can.

[A]

We? I did a little more research on that and it sounds like he wasn't freestyling. Those were pre written and I'm like, here's still here is the kicker. Pre written or freestyle, the man's got flow, which is really hard to.

[D]

Do. Trust me. If you started hearing me try to.

[A]

Rap. Yeah, if I gave you like the most like a notebook paper of the most fire bars or myself, I.

[E]

Just wouldn't bail that you'd probably be the best at.

[D]

It. Yeah, for.

[A]

Sure. I don't think someone would go like he's got it. And then when I heard the one, you know, one minute rap from Sketch, I was like, he's got.

[B]

It. I'm not sure if any of us could actually maybe pick up like a rap.

[D]

Career. Imagine if Ken, Ken, you start.

[C]

Rapping. Maybe I don't have the flow.

[A]

For it, but yeah, let's. Let's listen to this. It's so.

[D]

Good. Who's this.

[B]

With? Metro.

[A]

Booman.

[E]

Really? Wow, that was really.

[D]

Good. That was.

[E]

Actually. That was.

[D]

Insane. Some people are just so talented in all these random parts of life. Like he, he just was born to be a star or an entertainer. Exactly.

[B]

Yeah. I think about that a lot actually. Of like, you know, there's so many different Disney stars or Nickelodeon stars that are now like mega, mega music stars.

[A]

Man. That's always blown my mind. Maybe it.

[B]

Shouldn'T. Yeah, but maybe it shouldn't. I just wonder like right place, right time and that you don't actually have to be that talented. I wonder that like how much does being a musician actually require like talent with singing and obviously they have some talent if they're able to perform live. But like how much of that is taught, you know, like versus just innate talent of like you're like, you were just born to be a.

[A]

Superstar. Well, that's what I wonder. It's like you could be the best actor in the world and be like, I just don't have a singing voice. But for people on Disney, they're just like, oh yeah, I'm a really good actor and I can sing too. Ariane for example. And like people are just like, wow, no one could ever sing like Mariah Carey until she came about. And she didn't come out of the woodwork. She was this huge childhood teenage star and then just happen to become. Just blows my.

[B]

Mind. I think being a musician would be probably, like, the coolest thing ever. Like, the coolest job ever. Like, being able to, you know, perform in front of 100,000 people live like that. Like, I was at a Morgan Wallen concert a couple weeks ago, and, dude, it's just insane. Like, every single song that he has, every. Every person in this entire stadium. So he sold that US Bank Stadium, like, 100,000 people or something like that, and every single person in there was just, like, worshiping him. Like, knew every single word of the song. And it's just like, God, that's just got to be such a crazy.

[D]

Feeling. I was. When you said that, like, oh, these actors and singers. And I was like, what would you rather be a singer or an actor? And I thought at first I was like, I think I'd rather be an actor. You know, you get to, like, do cool things, whatever. And then I was like, no, there's got to be nothing cooler than going up on stage and, like, everybody.

[B]

There being about you singing for sure, your song back. The thing about actors, though, is, like, they're fake.

[E]

Yeah. You're.

[B]

Not. Like, you.

[D]

Don'T. You're not playing or you're.

[B]

Playing. Yeah. You like the character that they play, but, like, they don't really know.

[A]

You. Unless you're Tom.

[D]

Cruise. Yeah. Then you are.

[B]

Just. Yeah, yeah. He's kind of an.

[A]

Anomaly. I agree with that.

[D]

Though. I kind of even felt the energy of a crowd when we did boat ramp watching. Dude, the energy around that boat ramp was just electric, positive energy. It was a lot. Even from the dock, just watching it really.

[B]

Was. That was. That was a beautiful moment. We got 100 people and we took them boat ramp watching our last video, if you haven't seen it, 90% of the people loved it. Cops showed up. They even loved it. Yeah, they didn't say, but they. They were like. They were like, what you guys are doing is, like, it's not illegal, and you guys are good to keep doing it. Just don't, like, turn a hundred people into something bad. Yeah, exactly. Turn it into, like, a riot or do something with that. Because you kind of have, like, control over, like, aund. You know, you're the. You have the say over a hundred people of what we're doing. And in that case, it was just cheering on, people backing their boats into the.

[D]

Water. Yeah. Which was.

[A]

Nice. So.

[D]

Nice. Yeah, they were super nice. I was terrified when they started walking.

[A]

Down. I was seeking my man Ryan out.

[B]

Heavily. Yeah, I made me very happy, I.

[D]

Bet. Dude, I'm standing on the dock, holding the camera, whatever. And I just hear him come down and goes, which one of you is Ryan? I'm like, God dang.

[A]

It. I was like, why were, why was. Were they looking for you specifically because you were the one who sent the emails.

[E]

Out. Because the.

[D]

Bus. The bus. I had organized the buses and sent the email. So I'm sure anyone they ask, they go like, who's. Who do you think's in charge? And so is.

[E]

Ryan. I was nervous going into it a little bit. I was like, is this like, we're not starting a riot, but could they flip it and somehow make it that way and like, actually bring us to jail for the weekend? Like, I know it wouldn't be a big crime, but like, I was like, God, it's Saturday. I don't want to knock it out till.

[D]

Monday. I really don't want to.

[E]

Do. When I saw him walking down, I'm like, oh, here we go. Yeah, we'll see how this goes. I mean, I was along for the ride, but then when they're just like, which one use Ryan? I was like, oh, thank.

[D]

God. I did organize like that event. So it probably would have been me. I guess I got all the people.

[B]

There. Thanks for saying that.

[D]

Publicly. You're welcome. Like, to get 100 people somewhere is a lot harder than you think, not finding people because thankfully everybody at home is great and comes out and they actually are super respectful and nice, which is helpful, but getting the right amount because like, you send out like 600 emails and then 200 people right off the bat are like, I'll be there. And then throughout the week they go, my cat sick. My car broke down, I got to walk my dog. And then you like, whittle down. So on Wednesday night, I had gone from 120 people saying yes because I knew there was going to be less people than that to like, I probably got 85 people who dropped out on me. I was down to like 20 people that were confirmed to show up. And I was tweaking. So then I sent out a bunch more emails and we had one empty seat on the.

[B]

Bus. Yeah, dude, that couldn't have been any.

[D]

Better. I was really, really proud of.

[B]

That. Yeah, that was really. I was pretty proud of that too. I. I haven't told you that too, but I was. I couldn't believe we had two buses and they were each perfectly full. Yeah, perfectly full. I couldn't believe.

[A]

It. Yeah, I love that. Cuz I was like, should I ride the Sprinter? You know, I'm going to Ride with everyone else. And then me and. Oh yeah, Grandpa.

[D]

Ron's. Oh.

[A]

Yeah. And grandpa came chatting it up with everyone. That was so awesome. And then when he came back and he's like, this is before we left. Everyone's kind of, you know, antsy.

[B]

Just what should we.

[A]

Do? We'll just chill out. And then grandparon goes around and talks to every single person.

[B]

There.

[A]

Yeah. He's like, I think I talked to everyone. And I'm like, there's a hundred people here. That's.

[B]

Crazy. That's.

[E]

Awesome.

[D]

Dude. Grandpa Ron, man, that guy is a special, special.

[B]

Dude. We didn't get it on video, but one of the guys opened the door up and grandparents standing there and he goes, why don't you go get a life. And grandparent go, why don't you go yourself?

[E]

Yeah. He did tell him that wasn't on camera.

[D]

Though. What? Dude, how can you look at him and say that out of all.

[B]

The kids, go get a life. That he could be like, I've already, I've lived three lives already. What are you talking.

[D]

About? Because I'm Grandpa.

[B]

Ron. I thought that was so funny though. That was the.

[D]

Best. I know. Grandpa Ron was actually the only guy I couldn't control. Everybody else was saying, listening to me and whatever. And I'd be like, grandpa, I can't. You can't touch the.

[A]

Cars.

[D]

Yeah. As they're coming.

[B]

By. I had to tell him that too. What was up with that? Dude just kept patting the cars. I was like, bro, keep your hands down.

[D]

Grandpa. I look over, he's in the middle of the boat ramp, like unhooking a.

[B]

Trail. No, he's helping him.

[D]

Out. Like, oh my goodness, this guy.

[B]

Dude. It always amazes me how respectful our fans.

[D]

Are. I.

[B]

Know. Like, they are like some of like the most well behaved people I've ever seen out in.

[A]

Public.

[B]

Yeah. And which is hard to believe. I even have a hard time believing that, saying that out loud. But they are just like well mannered.

[E]

Kids. Like they'll like get in line and like patiently wait to like talk to you or get a.

[B]

Picture. Yeah.

[D]

Like. Yeah. Instead of like.

[A]

Everyone.

[E]

Yeah. Going.

[D]

Nuts. It makes doing stuff like that.

[E]

Easy.

[D]

Yeah. Which is good because then we'll keep doing it. Maybe not 100 people at the boat ramp again, being at the.

[E]

Police. That one's probably.

[D]

Done. That one's done. But if we need another 100.

[A]

People.

[B]

Yeah. I don't know how we would one up that one. Maybe a.

[D]

Thousand.

[B]

Yeah. See, I don't think thousand people the boat ramp. But we're gonna have to go to a bigger.

[D]

Boat. I don't think it makes it any better. Imagine us at Havasu or something like.

[B]

That. Yeah, well, if we did that.

[D]

We would need fight down.

[B]

There. Yeah, we need, like, full on, like, grandstand stadium.

[D]

Seating. I feel like it is just the most universal thing. Like, even I was nervous pulling the boat up and there was no one around. You know, like, when people are just in the boat with.

[B]

You. Dude, every time I go to the boat ramp now, I pray that nobody recognizes me as, like, the guy that puts people on blast at boat.

[D]

Ramps. Oh.

[B]

Man. Because I know if I mess up, phones coming out, they're going to be looking around like. You guys seeing.

[E]

This?

[B]

Yeah. About to go viral on this.

[A]

Idiot. Whenever I pull up to the boat ramp, I just. I don't know where the confidence comes from, but I just tell myself I got this. And I wish I could apply that to other things. But boat ramp now, like, I'm not the best backer upper, but if you tell yourself you got it, you're better.

[B]

Off. Something else I thought was funny that we didn't get on video was the one lady that was really upset with us. For some reason, she kept calling us assholes. And her daughter kept, like, grabbing her and pulling her back and be like, mom, no, no. But when they're driving away, none of the cameras captured it. But, like, a bunch of people heard it. The daughter goes, mom, no. Those are the sea boys. Mom, you're gonna go viral. Mom, you're gonna be a meme. Mom, stop. Mom, no. And she's like. She, like, can't help herself at that point. The daughter's like, no, mom, you're gonna be a.

[E]

Meme. I feel bad about that.

[B]

One. Yeah, yeah, that one's.

[D]

Tough. I think that's something that, like, our generation of people understand that if you're gonna freak out in public, you're gonna be a meme. But just other people, they didn't grow up with that. The older.

[E]

Generation. It was interesting just how so many people, like, loved it. Like, they just played into it. They'd back in. Or they'd mess up. Or they'd mess up. And then eventually they'd get it right and they'd hop out and everyone be cheering. They bow.

[C]

And.

[E]

Yeah. You know, they'd play into it and made it fun. But then some people, like that lady, for instance, just flipped the switch and went the other direction with it and was just pissed. So, yeah, I mean, it really Just comes down to perspective. It's true how you want to take it. It was kind of their.

[B]

Choice. Yeah, we saw both ends of.

[D]

It. Yeah, exactly. And one thing that also I don't think was on camera is when those people pulled out, their pontoon was, like, kind of off the trailer. Happens a lot with.

[B]

Pontoons. I guess they got.

[D]

It. Yeah. We sent a bunch more people over, and then we pushed the pontoon back on the trailer and helped them out. So we were being slightly useful.

[A]

There. Your dad was, like, the flagman. Everyone else was cheering, heckling, and your dad just, like, helping people when the falls.

[D]

Off. Oh. Oh, that was.

[B]

Awesome. That was. That was so.

[E]

Good. So speaking of Fourth of July activities, you guys ever see that thing in Alaska when they just drive cars off the.

[D]

Cliff? Oh.

[B]

Yeah. So bad.

[E]

Yeah. Like, what the frick, dude? That's the coolest, like, thing that you do in your town.

[B]

Ever. It.

[E]

Sounds. It seems like something we do.

[A]

Here. I.

[B]

Know. I wish we had a big enough.

[A]

Hill. I guess I can't speak for everyone, but I do have that, you know, on the list. On the bucket list. It's a lot to go to Alaska just for that. And, you know, it is your 4th of July. But, like, I want to go. That looks fun. They. They said they went for an.

[B]

Hour and a half this year of launching.

[A]

Cars. Oh, really.

[B]

Fun. Has that ever gone bad? Like, has a car not died launching off and then it catches some speed and it rips into the audience or something? Because, like, the audience is, like, right, right.

[D]

There. Did you see the one of it hitting the water this year? It's never hit the water before, and a car hit the water for the first time, which is because the water's there, that if a car somehow was to survive that it would then it just drive and hit this.

[E]

Pond. I bet you a Ford Raptor, like, in 20 years, once they start jumping the Ford Raptors off, bro, those things are going to be taking it. They're just going to keep.

[B]

Going. I wonder how they started.

[E]

This. The real winner is whoever gets to take these to the.

[D]

Scrapyard. No.

[E]

Kidding. Damn. So then that was.

[D]

Close. Wait for the pan. Like, I was like, oh, maybe the camera guy's there. No, fucking everybody's right.

[E]

There. That was really.

[A]

Close. So, like, that was one of their farthest.

[B]

Ever. But, dude, those are our people right there. Yeah, A bunch of people that are willing to just sit right behind a little pond that that's their formal.

[D]

Protection. And so here's a thing of 2017-2024. So the river is.

[E]

Moving.

[D]

Oh. And pushing people closer. But also, the crowd has, like, expanded.

[E]

Significantly. There's quite a bit more people, more and more popular. That's.

[D]

Crazy. So that town actually doesn't get dark because it's in Alaska. That's why they do that instead of.

[E]

Fireworks. Oh, that makes so much.

[D]

Sense. But honestly, yeah, I would love to go. It's tough because just the fourth of July is, like, the most special holiday in central.

[A]

Minnesota.

[D]

Yeah. And you got to be.

[A]

Here. Those are people. And that is a very cool event, but it's tough to tell other, you know, your friends and family. Oh, I won't be here for the fourth. I'm going to Alaska to watch cars.

[B]

Fly. Yeah, I could actually see you doing that.

[A]

Mike. Well, yeah, I would do it, but still hard to.

[D]

Explain. We could send you and ken with a.

[A]

GoPro. I'm down. I am super.

[D]

Down. Ken's gonna be like, put my.

[C]

Pontoon. GoPro.

[A]

3. Yeah, we take a GoPro 3. It's all we.

[E]

Got. 720p.

[B]

Baby. What's up with all the fireworks that you guys were watching this weekend? I wasn't there, but they looked.

[A]

Insane. It was.

[E]

Dope. This dude over on the lake who's got money coming out his ears and is for the people spent, like, 80 grand on.

[D]

Fireworks. Yeah. I never heard a real number, but every time I heard the number, it was higher and higher and.

[E]

Higher. I heard from the source, not. Not directly him, but a family member. That was 80. I would believe in just.

[B]

Fireworks. But then you had to talk about people, money on.

[E]

Fire. Yeah, I know. And that's what I was wondering while we were watching it. So these things are blowing up is the best fireworks I've ever seen. But I was like, I'm enjoying this, but I wonder, would you enjoy it even more if you paid for it? I feel like you would. You'd have.

[D]

To. So we do a very small fireworks show. I mean, it's pretty decent, but we do a good firework show for our family. But compared to that, it's very small. And I have way more fun doing it than everybody else. Like, I. Because, you know, you bought it, and you look at the box. That doesn't tell you anything. And then you go, oh, is this one gonna be good? And then you ring them, you string them all together, and you're, like, planning it. So that's the fun part of it. And then you get to light it off and hope that people enjoy.

[A]

It. And then also I mean, I'd like to think when you hear cheers, just like if you were entertaining or singing, if you hear cheers for the. Whatever firework just went off, you're like, nice.

[D]

Nice. I did.

[E]

That. It's got to feel good, too. Like, all these people came, they're getting a free show that they're enjoying. You got 80 grand fireworks. Takes a while for them to go through it. So, I mean, midway through the show, I mean, sometimes I start looking around, I'm looking away, I'm missing fireworks, but I'm like, there's going to be plenty.

[D]

More.

[E]

Yeah. I wouldn't be doing that if I was the guy who paid for.

[B]

It. Right. You'd be walking around making sure.

[E]

That everyone is watching, freaking. I did set a camera on a.

[C]

Tripod. Lake association spent more money on like the community fireworks show, and it was significantly.

[E]

Worse.

[D]

Really? Maybe they're just pocket.

[E]

Cash. They did not spend more than.

[D]

That.

[C]

No. The Pelican Lake association spent like.

[A]

100. Oh.

[B]

Yeah. Well.

[E]

They. They messed up too. They had a.

[A]

Misfire.

[E]

Really?

[D]

Yeah. Oh.

[B]

Wow. A bunch of.

[E]

People. I don't know. It went wrong. There's a bunch of people out waiting to watch.

[C]

It. And then it was supposed to start at 10:30. Some dude just pushed the button at.

[D]

10. Oh.

[B]

Really? How do you do.

[C]

That? It just messed.

[B]

Up. How do you that one.

[E]

Up? Like one.

[B]

Button. Like, it doesn't even have like a safety switch. Like the red button, like the classic in the movies, like, flip up the switch and hit the.

[C]

Button. The one on Core was like, literally a looking. Like a remote kind of looking thing with just one button on.

[D]

It. Yeah. I have a video of the guy on Cormont lighting off, but his. I mean, I don't know. This is a pretty complex.

[B]

System.

[E]

What?

[B]

Wow. But there's no way they're lighting them off from our.

[D]

Boat.

[B]

Yeah. No.

[C]

Way.

[E]

Yeah. Isn't that.

[D]

Crazy? And then here he just watch. He like starts button mashing it. And then it was like finale time.

[A]

What? I love that he.

[E]

Just. But did he even know what he was doing or is he just pressing.

[D]

Button? I mean, I think he probably.

[B]

Knows. That's.

[D]

Insane. It.

[B]

Was. So this is coming from three barges on the.

[D]

Water.

[E]

Yeah. Fireworks are getting way more.

[B]

Advanced. This guy's just straight up button.

[D]

Mashing.

[E]

Yeah. I think that I love Mortal.

[D]

Kombat. I'm sure that was like part of the end, you know, like you have a system that goes through. But Yeah, I mean, at the end, at least for the finale, maybe.

[E]

He was just trying to make sure all of them cleared. So he was just button mashing. Yeah.

[D]

That'S. That's the press all. And just buddy on Pelican. Press that half an hour early.

[E]

Somehow. I don't.

[D]

Know. People are pretty disappointed.

[C]

Early. And half of them didn't go off or something, but they sent out, like, an apology.

[D]

Email. I mean, I guess accidents.

[B]

Happen. So did you guys get charged for that or is it a volunteer.

[E]

Base? I bought a phone.

[B]

Book. Oh, that's where it goes. Oh, good. You did finally buy a phone.

[E]

Book. Phone.

[B]

Book. 80.

[E]

Bucks.

[D]

Good. 80 phone book. You ever, like, call someone out of it just because you should just.

[E]

Call? Just figured. Never really chatted with you.

[B]

Before. Are you guys.

[D]

In. Bought this stupid phone.

[E]

Book. I think so. No, I don't. Like, under an alias name. I didn't want our names in.

[D]

It. I mean, should. It's damn near. You should put that thing up on the wall. 80.

[A]

Bucks. 80 bucks for a phone.

[B]

Book? Because I don't know if I would want, like, my neighbors having my phone number and, like, being able to call me if they have a.

[E]

Problem. Yeah, well, they have ours.

[B]

Now. You don't have a little phone book? I'll buy two if you keep my name and number out of.

[E]

It. Tried.

[D]

That. Yeah. It didn't go so well. I remember that story. Oh, that's funny. But, yeah, the fireworks definitely lit. Of course. Like any fireworks, there's barges on fire. There was crazy going.

[B]

On. Ryan, to answer your question, if there's. If I have a neighborhood directory. Yeah, I do. So I moved into this house last year. I very quickly kind of got thrown into, like, the neighborhood HOA drama. Oh, like within. Like, interesting within. Okay, so there's, like, group chats in it. Email texting, but, like, on email. So on email, they were like, kind of like a couple of the neighbors are, like, going at each other. I can't remember exactly what the problem was, but it had to be, like, voted on by, like, the board of the neighborhood. Right. Of the hoa. And there was, like, a. Just a disagreement of it, but they all found out that I had a podcast and that I was, like, kind of talking about the HOA drama. So, like, and I never said anything bad about any of them individually, but, like, one person found out about the podcast, listened to, like, the one of me, like. Like, basically just, like, spreading the neighborhood drama. And then pretty much the whole neighborhood then found out about it. And this year, now that you say that, that's. This is what Reminded me of it. I have it, dude. I think they kicked me out of the chat. I think they don't want me knowing about, like, what's going on in the neighborhood. I haven't heard.

[A]

Anything. That's a good.

[B]

Thing.

[E]

Yeah. Do you.

[B]

Care? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't care. I do not care one.

[D]

Bit. Let them handle.

[B]

It. Yeah, they can handle it. And, you know, I pay my fees and I have not voted. And I always tell my neighbor, that's my boy. I always say, hey, you let me know if there's anything I need to vote on, but until then, I'm staying out of.

[D]

It. Yeah. Yeah. Because your neighbor is. Is a fantastic dude. So, you know, like, it wasn't.

[B]

Someone close to you, Right. I'm not sure who it was, but it's.

[D]

Funny. It's funny getting drama from other groups of things that don't matter. I still get it a little bit with, like, old groups that I was in and stuff like that. And I go, what are you guys fighting over? You got nothing to fight over. Like, we got big that we could fight over every day, and we just don't because we're like, onwards and forwards, dude. We got lots of to do. And I'm like, man, I can't believe we're arguing right now about, you know, something real stupid.

[E]

It. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, we say that all the time. Like, we never have problems. It's. It's like the external people.

[D]

That.

[B]

Yeah. That we're friends with that have problems.

[D]

Yeah. You hear about the other problems. You're like, wait, what? What was going on? I did hear there was a spill here this weekend. Evan's out working on the track. But I heard someone got.

[A]

Hurt.

[D]

Oil. I heard one of Evan's friends or one of my friends that was over here, they go, yeah. Did you hear so and so got hurt while he was.

[E]

Here? He didn't get hurt, did.

[D]

He? I called. It's. Everything's all good. It was like, the way the story was told to me is that someone fell and had gotten hurt on a dirt bike. And I go, great, here we go. Just why we say no, no late night dirt biking, right. I ask Ev and he's like, no one got hurt. And I go, well, if Evan. Evan. Actually, I knew that Evan wouldn't say anything because if someone didn't leave in an ambulance, no one got hurt that night. So then I started asking around, and it was okay. He just like fell and kind of skid it out. I mean, slight Scrape. But one of the girls that was there, too, was like, yeah, he fell and, you know, like, got. Got hurt. But he was. He was.

[E]

100. What about Glenn? What about Glenn having that girl? He was, like, faking that injury. Mobility scooter on. It's only riding around the mobility scooter. He's got the chick sitting on his.

[D]

Lap.

[A]

Typical. Just kind of.

[E]

Legendary. Yeah. I don't know about the faking the injury, but. But, yeah, good for Glenn. I'm glad. I'm glad that it was. Things were able to work out over.

[B]

Here. I don't know how well they did work out, because the next day I saw Glenn and I go, hey, I saw a Snapchat of you last night. And he goes, oh, yeah, with the Mackenzie chick. I go, that's not her name. That is not her name. So that tells me how that.

[D]

Ended. Yeah, Glenn, dude. That guy is the fucking bastard.

[A]

Dude. It was, like, raining on and off. It's been raining a lot this year, but.

[B]

Thunderstorm. Evan was.

[D]

Gone. The way the Raid.

[A]

Makes. Yeah, I.

[E]

Did.

[A]

Sorry. But. No, I was putting my On. It was Sunday. It was pouring rain. And I'm like, I gotta get the Jet Ski off of your shore. And I'm like, this.

[D]

Sucks. It's just.

[A]

Raining. It's lightning. And I'm like, dude, I mean, am I gonna get struck by lightning? And Sydney's helping me, and then I'm like, whoa, your hair is just all, like, standing on.

[D]

End.

[A]

No. She's like, what? And I was like, what's wrong? And I'm like, it's crazy. You're like, I just didn't know. I'm like, your hair is, like, standing up. And then I'm like, oh, wait. And so then we just, like, run inside. Like we're running from an imaginary.

[D]

Bear. Isn't that, like, what. Yeah, it means when you're gonna.

[A]

Get the National Weather Advisory, whatever serve website is like, yes, that's when your hair starts staying on end. You gotta. They tell you to do some weird, like, get on your knees and, like, lean forward. But, like, don't get on the ground. Oh, yeah. Because the ground is really good for conducting electricity, which is always raining when it's thundering and lightning. Pretty much.

[E]

Yeah. Yeah, man. Last night it was raining cats and.

[B]

Dogs. I. I actually didn't. I don't think it was raining at my house, but I woke up and I saw Alex's.

[E]

Story.

[B]

Crazy. She was like, I'm in a.

[A]

Hurricane. When was.

[E]

That? She was worried about Ken's pontoon, actually. She was like, ken's pontoon is.

[B]

Up. Like, I don't know what she.

[E]

Was. I was sleeping. I was like, it's.

[D]

Fine. Like, what are we gonna.

[E]

Do? What was gonna happen? I was like, I mean, it'd be sitting outside in the shop or be out here in the.

[B]

Rain. Oh, she was worried that it wasn't.

[E]

Covered. I think partially. But I wasn't running out to cover.

[D]

It.

[A]

Yeah. There's.

[B]

Nothing. A T.

[A]

Shirt. There's nothing to cover. Is that too Just a cockpit and a.

[D]

Chair?

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. So I wonder why would lightning strike a human versus Strike like a big telephone.

[D]

Pole. Yeah. Or a tree or something way.

[B]

Taller. Yeah, something that would be taller.

[D]

You know, I don't.

[B]

Know. I'm.

[E]

Sure. Place, wrong.

[B]

Time. Wrong place, wrong time is.

[D]

Right. But like, my buddy Nikki, great dude, but has terrible luck with his cars. We were talking about this weekend because a drunk driver sideswiped his car while I was parked on the side of the road. And then one of his friends was like, yeah. And he got struck by lightning. He's driving down the same weekend? No, not in the same weekend. Sorry. He was driving down the road in the summer, like a couple years ago, and lightning struck his.

[B]

Car.

[E]

No.

[D]

Yeah. Fucking like shattered the windshield. Bunch of crazy.

[B]

Stuff. Did he feel it? Like what did.

[E]

It. Was it like a cool or was it just like it zapped it and he.

[D]

Didn'T? Yeah, I mean, like, I don't think he got zapped, but it like. I think I messed up his.

[C]

Car. I feel like that would just ruin any electrical component in the car. Like that thing just has to be.

[D]

Totaled. Yeah, he was just driving down the highway, like around other cars too, in.

[B]

Semis. Was it a.

[D]

Tesla? It was not a.

[B]

Tesla. But he was.

[D]

Okay. He was okay. Yes. Well, I think he is still alive.

[B]

So. Yeah, I guess. Like, how many people a year get struck by.

[D]

Lightning? We always come back to the.

[B]

Lightning. I'm always so curious by.

[D]

It. I.

[B]

Know. Because it's so common. Like, lightning is very common and people are very.

[D]

Common. It's.

[B]

True. Lightning is all over the place. People are all over the place. But how often do they.

[C]

Collide? Says in the U. S. Approximately 270 people get struck by lightning a.

[D]

Year. So like one a.

[E]

Day. 19 fatalities in 20, 22, 53.

[D]

Injuries straight up get zapped. 53 injuries out of.

[E]

200. Some 23 deaths per year on.

[C]

Average. If you get struck by it and you have a 90 chance survival.

[D]

Rate. Wow, that's like, better than.

[A]

Most. That makes honestly.

[B]

Good. What's. What's like the. You guys should decide, like, is it how big the lightning strike is or there is how old you are or what you're standing on or like.

[C]

Probably a combination of all those.

[D]

Comment. If one of your family members has gotten struck by lightning. I wonder, like, you know, I feel like everybody's got to know someone who knows.

[B]

Someone. I guess technically I. I guess technically, Nikki. So then I technically know someone.

[C]

Saying, a park ranger got struck by lightning seven.

[B]

Times. Dude, hang it.

[E]

Up. How do they know he's not just.

[A]

Fibbing? Quit playing out in the.

[B]

Forest?

[D]

Yeah. Like, you know, he comes back and he dropped his hat in the fire and goes. He got stroked by.

[E]

Lightning.

[D]

Yeah. And then he just had to really keep living up to the. The like, hype of.

[B]

It. Yeah. Like, he was known as that guy. So then pretty soon he's like going out of his way like lightning.

[D]

Rods. The buzz starts dying down from it. You know, people kind of forget who he is. He goes, I gotta re up my hype.

[E]

Again. Wasn't Thomas Edison struck by lightning or something like that? That's Thomas.

[D]

Edison. Thomas Edison with the light.

[C]

Bulb. It was a Ben.

[D]

Franklin. That's. Why did I think Ben Franklin too. But I.

[E]

Wasn'T. Was the.

[D]

President. If you could be any old guy from.

[C]

History. Ben.

[D]

Franklin. Ben Franklin got.

[B]

Stuck. Wait, Ben.

[A]

Franklin. Ben Franklin had the.

[B]

Key. What was the kite in the key. His story isn't all this time, but like, what. Yeah, what was the key there.

[C]

For? Apparently it was like a metal wire between the kite and the.

[D]

Key. And dude, I feel like back then they were just doing.

[E]

Things. Oh.

[D]

Yeah. It was just like, it, dude, I'm a national hero. Pres. Future president. Doing all these. What did.

[B]

He. What came first, the lightning strike or.

[C]

Presidency? Okay, he did it in 1752.

[B]

To. He was the.

[C]

First. He never. He never held the office of.

[D]

President. Really? When the did I think he started doing.

[E]

That. How did he get on the $100 bill.

[C]

Then? I think he was like the treasury.

[A]

Guy. Oh, what a.

[D]

Legend. Okay, what year did you do the treasury thing.

[C]

In? Oh, no. He was the first Postmaster.

[B]

General. The hell's a postmaster general? I thought that's what you work.

[D]

In. How does that get you on the hundred dollar bill? Like, that's the best.

[A]

One. I.

[D]

Know. I was like, there's no other better.

[A]

One. And like, we obviously can't change it now. But like, yeah, you do got.

[D]

To wonder what he did to like, George Washington. Makes sense. Number. He's on the number $1.

[A]

Bill. Like, I've heard some good things about Abe Lincoln. And he's on a penny. No, I know he's on five, two, but kind.

[E]

Of. He got the.

[A]

Penny. He's a man. A.

[B]

Penny. Wait.

[A]

Wait. Those are literally garbage to.

[D]

Me. But anyway, like, I just feel like they were out there. They were just testing out the world at that.

[B]

Time. Yeah, man, what a.

[D]

Time. Mushrooms, doing whatever, you.

[B]

Know. Dude, I was telling Greta this too. I was like, man, who do you think the first person to, like, eat a watermelon was, though? Every single food or fruit had.

[D]

To have been tested by somebody sitting in your house. Second watermelon of the day, just going like, crap. Who you do you think ate the first one of these? I'm sure I don't.

[B]

Know. Wherever it was naturally, everything on earth had to have been ate at some point to see if it's edible or.

[D]

Not. How many things aren't edible? How many guys, like, truly died from eating things that aren't.

[B]

Edible? I mean, I'm sure a.

[D]

Ton.

[B]

Yeah. Throughout the years, who do you think was like, this salad is good or that's poison.

[E]

Ivy. Eating poison ivy. That'd be.

[D]

Terrible. That's a good point, dude. Also, everything looks like poison ivy. Like, when you. When you look, when you walk into the woods, I know some naturist is gonna be like, no, you can tell by this. But like, everything has three leaves. Everything looks a little.

[B]

Shiny. Dude, for all my body's concerned, everything is poison ivy, dude. I'm downwind and I got that so.

[D]

Bad. Also, lake itch, dude. I've been getting.

[A]

Leakage. Got her two times.

[D]

Already. Yeah, no.

[A]

Good. Just going back to the presidentials on the dollar bills. I really look up to Andrew Jackson because he's the only president in US history to ever make our debt deficit go.

[D]

Positive.

[A]

Really? AKA no debt. Isn't that crazy? The only president in history. I don't actually know how he did it. I just always remember.

[D]

That. And just one guy, like, back then, there was actually a chance, like, there's nothing you could.

[A]

Do. Now keep in mind he actually took it from debt and then above. And then ever since then, we've just been absolutely, man. I don't know. I still don't know how that's possible. It was right after one of the worst financial crisis in American history. The elimination of the national debt was both a personal issue for Jackson and the culmination of a political project as old as the nation.

[B]

Itself. Oh, it's.

[A]

Personal. So it's personal. But like, if someone tried to do that today, that's just not.

[C]

Possible.

[A]

No. Which also seems insane. Is it possible for our country to ever be out of debt? Like, no. And we're all just like sick. Yeah, we should be.

[E]

Good. Keep printing.

[D]

It. Yeah, that'd actually be a sick hat. Even though it is bad. Like it's a bad policy. But just print.

[B]

More.

[D]

Just. They'll print.

[B]

More. They'll print more. That's actually a pretty good. That is pretty.

[A]

Good. I haven't seen.

[D]

It. Damn. Is that a good shirt? There was someone on the boat this weekend that was wearing a signed hat that said elect that again and it was signed by Donald.

[B]

Trump. It's pretty.

[D]

Legendary. That's fucking sick. You're wearing that on the boat right now, like just in. It's just not in a glass.

[B]

Case. That's a good point. Yeah, that's a.

[D]

Flex.

[A]

Yeah. Well, at this point, if you guys know or don't know, the RA giveaway is wrapped up, which is.

[D]

Shit. That's.

[A]

Crazy. Yeah, it is. So we are working through all the entries and are excited to announce the winner. Not sure quite when that will be, but we'll keep you updated. But yeah, it's wild. I'm so excited to give this car to one of you guys. And 10 grand if you guys bought anything or just checked out the merch or whatever. We appreciate all the support. For.

[B]

Real. I'm excited to see who wins it because it's going to be such a life.

[A]

Changing.

[B]

Yeah. Car to win and then you can sell it and you'll have 150 grand cash in your bank account and you could do. You could buy a house. You buy two houses with that much money, you could buy. That'll change your family's life. That's. That's amazing. So I'm excited for that. But yeah, we're kind of going back and forth of what we should give away next between, you know, maybe another car or something. Cool. Obviously following up in R8. It's got to be cool, but. Or a built truck or something like that. So maybe leave a comment down below and we'll read them. We'll see what you guys.

[D]

Think. All right, guys, we'll see you next.

[A]

Week. Have a great.

[E]

Week. All right.

[A]

Peace.
