Transcript

[Ryan]

This might actually be the best invention I have ever seen.

[Ben]

Ev. Don't say ever, but go on ever.

[Ryan]

Snowplow, but for your hitch. And you just drive in reverse.

[Ben]

And the person doing it right now is in a Ford like Explorer. And they look kind of goofy, but it does.

[Ryan]

It does.

[Ben]

But their driveway isn't super big and it's actually working.

[CJ]

But what is the benefit to having on the rear and then having to drive in reverse?

[Ryan]

Because.

[Ben]

Right.

[CJ]

You don't.

[Ryan]

It's. It's on a Ford Explorer right now. I can't see this car with a front snowplow. So it's like making the best of having.

[CJ]

Oh, it's a hitch.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

So no, like, cutting or installing really needed. You just pop it in.

[Ryan]

That's crazy, actually.

[Ben]

Wow. Us Minnesotan Midwesterners are pumped about that, man.

[Ryan]

The future is here and we just had a snow day.

[Jamie]

You want to know what I'm pumped about? Yeah.

[Ben]

Starting a podcast. Number 58.

[Jamie]

Not only that, but getting a official Jamie cam. Cut to Jamie.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Jamie]

Wave to the people. A little thumbs up. Big Ken's got his own mic, his own camera.

[Ryan]

Ken.

[Jamie]

Now that's so officially a part of the podcast. We've been reading you guys comments and, I mean, we've been wanting to do it for a while, but the budget was really tight with all the ads that Ryan was doing, so.

[CJ]

So they finally paid off.

[Jamie]

They finally paid off. Yeah, no, we. We. We put the money to use and got a mic and a camera.

[Ken]

We finally read enough bluechew ads.

[CJ]

Yep.

[Jamie]

Yep.

[CJ]

So speaking of, dude, that scared me.

[Jamie]

You wanna know what's crazy is the other day, I was actually just sitting with Ryan. It was just me and him on the couch watching.

[Ryan]

He tried getting you to take one.

[Jamie]

Well, he goes like, hey, I'd look. Next thing I know, he's hitting me with an ad.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[Jamie]

No camera, nothing. Just reading him right to me. I was like, bro, dude, it's just me and you. Like, you don't gotta do this right now.

[Ryan]

Like dudes in autopilot.

[Ben]

That's so funny. I mean, yeah. I look over. Have you played fishing class yet? And then you're like, no. Why? And then just full 60 second spiel.

[Ryan]

Bro. Ryan, can. Can we be honest here?

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So you keep wearing these shirts.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And I know you go out of your way.

[Jamie]

No.

[CJ]

You don't think they're funny.

[Jamie]

That's.

[Ryan]

Okay, let me finish.

[Ben]

Okay.

[Ryan]

I don't understand any of them.

[Ben]

Oh, come on.

[Ryan]

Like the last one, the Ill. And like, Illinois. That's what it was.

[Ben]

I never even saw that one. Oh, wow.

[CJ]

Technically, I think you say it's Illinois, but.

[Ryan]

Okay, so what. What is this?

[Ben]

Can we get a read on that?

[Ryan]

Every single podcast, Ryan wears a different shirt. And each shirt is like kind of a meme shirt or is like, supposed to be funny, but supposed to be.

[Jamie]

You would download a crappy JPEG of a monkey some dork paid $2 million for.

[Ben]

Oh. Oh. It's a hit on, like, NFTs and stuff like that.

[CJ]

But this is the font and setup of, like, in the early 2000s, mid 2000s, when they trying to say you wouldn't steal.

[Ben]

Like, There's a pirate DVD.

[CJ]

Yeah, it was pirate. It was for pirating DVDs, and it was basically saying, like, you wouldn't steal a pair of shoes. And it was like, copy or stealing? Copywriting. Copyright infringement is stealing.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[CJ]

And it was just kind of like the whole thing trying to tell the Internet that copyright is a thing, which.

[Ben]

Everyone took as a total joke.

[CJ]

Yeah, it just turned into a big meme, but apparently not big enough for you to understand it.

[Ryan]

I guess I was just too young for it, honestly.

[CJ]

This. This one takes a little bit of thought. I have another one down there that's a dog locked in a car and it says, I love hot dogs.

[Ben]

Pretty easy to understand, too.

[Ryan]

Have you guys ever seen the Spotify show on Netflix? It's like the start of Spotify, basically. Well, it shows, like, basically the whole story of how Spotify started and then where they are now. Before Spotify came into the market, it was basically all pirating.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And this guy was like, basically just pirating all of his music and stuff. And he was like, I think there's like a market for this. And then it just shows, like, music. Yeah, for illegal music.

[Ben]

A market for, like, having songs on your phone at all times or access to. I don't know.

[CJ]

You guys remember having to buy songs for like A$25. Like, new ones would be a dollar.

[Jamie]

Well, they used to be 99.

[Ryan]

And then they got sent.

[Jamie]

No, it was a $29. Yeah, but I remember when they added that extra technically $0.30 onto it as a kid, I was like, that hurts. That. That's too much.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's kind of.

[Ryan]

When you like, that is too much.

[Jamie]

And then you had to find alternative ways, like Limewire. You had to resort to stealing. Yeah, no, Limewire was long gone.

[Ben]

Yeah, it was a little.

[Jamie]

I use it a bit like that was long gone. Prior to them changing the rate of buying a song on Apple Music. But dude, listening to itunes or just music in general and when you had to pay individually for the song, it was like you would really put a lot of thought into it at least. I was like, do I really like this song? Yeah, well I like this song. In a week, like a year you put a lot of thought and you're like 99 cents for the song. And now things are different. Debate.

[Ben]

Thank you.

[Jamie]

The best they've ever been. The most balanced with obviously you pay.

[Ryan]

Do you think it's more lucrative now? Like the artists are making more money now?

[Jamie]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Ben]

They have to be because I'm downloading.

[Jamie]

A lot more than 10 songs a month and like that'd be technically $10 back in the day of 99 cent songs.

[CJ]

They aren't.

[Ken]

But no, there's no way they're not making money streaming.

[Ryan]

They should be.

[Ken]

They are.

[Jamie]

But they used to do CDs prior to that and that had to have been lucrative.

[Ben]

CDs?

[Jamie]

Yeah, CDs.

[Ryan]

Records before that.

[Ben]

Ben.

[CJ]

There was records?

[Jamie]

Yep.

[CJ]

Somewhere in between that there was like.

[Ryan]

There was tracks I guess with, with.

[Ben]

CD sales you gotta buy the whole.

[Jamie]

It was like otherwise you just had to listen to the radio and you know, you hope for that song to come on. But I mean realistically I would imagine that you're. And they're still probably making a shit ton of money. Probably less money a day. Don't quote me because I really don't know. But that's what I would imagine.

[CJ]

So back in 1980, artists were making around like $15 billion off of the eight track vinyl and cassettes.

[Ben]

Wow.

[CJ]

It goes through a dip up until about the 1990s when cassette comes in and takes it over and brings it back up. Then CD kind of starts filling this chart and then Napster peaks it in like 1999 at $22.7 billion of revenue. And this is not adjusted for inflation. I don't believe so. And then after that it steeply declines to 2015 where streaming starts to pull a little bit of money back. But they're still not even close to they were prior.

[Ryan]

Dude.

[Jamie]

So I actually had Napster as a kid prior to having itunes. Cuz I didn't have a ipod or a Zoom. So Zoom was Microsoft's version of an ipod.

[Ryan]

Zoon.

[Jamie]

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom. Zoom like Zoom Zoon. Oh, it was a Zoom.

[Ken]

It's Zune, like Dune with a Z.

[Jamie]

Okay, well it was a Zune so I, I Didn't have one, so I didn't know how to even pronounce it. But anyways, I. I'm pretty sure Napster went with Zune. But you could also use Limewire, which was like a pretty iconic illegal downloading website for. For music. It was all free, but it would poison your computer with viruses. Napster wouldn't do that. And it was free, so you could listen to the music and download songs to your computer and all this stuff and even music videos for free. But if you wanted to put them onto your Zune or your ipod or whatever the hell you were going to connect it to, then you had to pay. Like, I think it was 15 bucks a month, which is quite a bit of money back in like the early 2000.

[Ryan]

Yeah, like, I was unlimited.

[Jamie]

It was unlimited. So as a kid that didn't have either of them, I would go, like, I would go skateboard in the morning. I remember this as a kid, I'd go skateboard out in my driveway and then I would go downstairs and I would hop on the computer and I would watch music videos and listen to music and play Runescape.

[CJ]

Runescape was so lit.

[Ben]

That's awesome.

[Ryan]

Okay, how were companies like Napster like, Operating?

[Jamie]

They got sued.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Jamie]

So it did catch up to them.

[Ryan]

So it did.

[Jamie]

And then I believe that same guy who created Napster teamed up with Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook. Am I wrong?

[CJ]

Really? I'm not 100% certain.

[Jamie]

I. I think they had some kind of run in. Maybe. We got to double check that. Ken, is that true?

[Ken]

J. Kenny, I'm actually looking at something else.

[Jamie]

Ken was the guy that created Napser and Mark Zuckerberg the creator of Facebook. Did they have some. There was an interaction, I thought even in the. In the movie on Mark Zuckerberg, they meet and I thought they did some kind of business together.

[Ryan]

I'm not the.

[Jamie]

Or does he pass up on.

[CJ]

You are the person.

[Jamie]

You're Jamie, so look it up.

[Ben]

He just asked you not to call him Jamie, though.

[Jamie]

You're Kenny, so look it up.

[CJ]

My mom listens to this podcast, unfortunately, and she is going to actually probably call me immediately and freak out.

[Ben]

I was going to tell that story. That's really funny.

[CJ]

No, this is a different story.

[Ben]

Oh, up.

[Ryan]

Mike. You've only been a part of the family for a couple months, buddy. You can't just be hopping on Ryan stories like this.

[Ben]

This is a story about. Of Ryan.

[Ken]

It's been going on for years.

[Ben]

It's not even a story. Basically. I just remember when Ryan Was like, dude, my. I've been like, been charging 10 bucks a month to my mom's Napster for Napster for like three, four or five years.

[CJ]

The most recent.

[Jamie]

Have to be a lot more than five years, bro.

[CJ]

1999 or nineteen nine. 99amonth. Every month. And the last one that I have on my phone is 2020. But they've been coming through more than that. Can't figure out how to cancel it. You go on your bill. Yeah, you go on your bill and it's like not there. And then we go, can we cancel this? And then every week or every month we get.

[Jamie]

That's like, on your phone. I'm pretty sure the guy was a con artist, dude.

[CJ]

Some guy probably somewhere is just like, picked up that bank account number and is just getting to my. 10 bucks a month.

[Ken]

You've had that since you were in high school?

[Ben]

Yeah. Like, so.

[CJ]

Ringtones.

[Jamie]

It's still going?

[CJ]

No, it looks like it ended last year.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Wow.

[Jamie]

And okay. Fell off.

[Ryan]

When do you think you started that? Let's just say it was going for at least 10 to 15 years.

[CJ]

I would say no. I mean, probably when I was like 14. So I'd say, yeah, good. Like seven years of Napster and I don't remember using it ever.

[Ben]

That's insane. So I still. I mean, they are. Clearly we're getting their monthly rate, but, like, I don't get how they. Like, that was the peak of paying music artists. Yeah, Like Napster.

[CJ]

Napster did pay. Did people, though.

[Ben]

I guess they must.

[Jamie]

That seems like Napster came. That chart. Looks like Napster came in and then took it all down. Yeah, because I think a lot of the artists sued him because they were like, you stole our music and gave.

[Ryan]

It away for free.

[Ken]

This is it. This is in present tense. But Napster pays an average of 1.9 cents per stream.

[CJ]

Shit. Figure out what it is now. I bet you 1.9.

[Jamie]

So that's what they were making. I don't think they were paying.

[Ryan]

How much is a stream per Spotify? That's.

[CJ]

I feel like it's got to be way less than a penny. Yeah, Napster was giving it to him.

[Ryan]

Good.

[Ken]

Dude, even if they're paying 10 bucks a month at 1.9 cents a song, how do they still make money?

[Jamie]

That's what I'm saying is like, how does Apple iTunes make money? Because I'm downloading like 100 songs a month and I'm paying 7.99.

[Ryan]

I'm sure it's just like anything like, you probably lose money on the people that download a bunch. And then you make money on the people, like, average consumption of music. You're probably not downloading that much music.

[Ben]

So you're still like, downloading it to your phone.

[Jamie]

Or it's just worth it to keep up with the other brands or sites or apps.

[Ben]

It is.

[Jamie]

Keep people buying iPhones, whatever.

[CJ]

But say, think about it, dude. If they were paying $0.01. And think how many streams did, like, Lil Baby have this year? He had, you know, like 20 billion streams. Do the math on that. That's still, what, like a couple hundred million dollars off of just streaming.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Or it's their stock price. Like when Spotify picked up Joe Rogan's podcast for a hundred million dollars, their stock price went up. Don't quote me on this, but I think it was like $2 billion worth, like. Like their overall worth.

[Jamie]

So it.

[Ryan]

Maybe it's just that, like, where they. It's kind of a wash on the actual streaming side of things.

[CJ]

I bet they're still making money on the streaming.

[Jamie]

This.

[Ken]

This website's actually saying Napster pays the most out of all the platforms. It says they pay.

[Ryan]

They're just working.

[Ken]

$15.82 per thousand streams, $16 CPM per thousand.

[Jamie]

Pretty damn good.

[Ken]

Apple Music pays 783. Spotify is.

[Ryan]

We start uploading our videos.

[Jamie]

60 cents.

[Ben]

YouTube is 60 cents per thousand views, I guess, man, that makes myself 16 bucks per thousand views. And if you had a song, keep in mind, it'd have to blow up on freaking Napster. 16 bucks. Yeah.

[Jamie]

What up, guys?

[CJ]

Go listen to this podcast on Napster.

[Ryan]

Napster. A hell of a plug there, Ryan.

[Jamie]

You just gave me ptsd. I thought you're going in the advert.

[CJ]

I put on my podcast.

[Jamie]

I was like, what the hell? Is there an ad placed within my headphones?

[CJ]

We're about running up to that point, so let's just run it here.

[Ryan]

Ryan starts running ads in our headphones.

[Ben]

This is just like. I mean, I know we don't really care too much about this, but Megan Thee Stallion just came out and said that basically that Tory Lane shot at her, which is. This happened in like 2020, but it blew my mind. He basically, like, they came home from the club and. Because Megan Thee Stallion's a pretty big deal.

[Ryan]

No, no, no. I think he shot her and he shot her foot.

[Ben]

There were bullet fragments in her foot. That means there. There was. There's no bullet holes in her foot. There's a big difference. Yeah, I mean, it's still bad they got home from the club and like, she was like insulting him and wanted him, like, open the door up and you know, maybe being a. And then just. And then. But then he just like shot the door.

[Ryan]

No.

[Ben]

And just said dance, bitch. And shot five times. And yeah, he said dance, bitch. And then like insane. And then he. Apparently he paid her a million dollars or offered her a million dollars to not say anything.

[Ryan]

I think in the latest Drake song, he says something about Meg the stallion, like, capping.

[Jamie]

What's the line?

[Ryan]

Exactly.

[Ken]

Drake raps this bitch lie about getting shots, but she's still a stallion.

[Ryan]

Oh, wow.

[Ben]

Drake is so weird.

[Ryan]

Thank you.

[Ben]

Awesome.

[CJ]

But did you see his thing that he bought a diamond necklace that has like 42 engagement diamonds and it's for the 42 times he wanted to propose.

[Ben]

42 times.

[Ryan]

Oddly specific. Just oddly high.

[Jamie]

Kept track, all that.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

That's what I think. After 10, you'd be like, yeah, you know, I was. Felt like I was in love, but it just.

[Ben]

And bought different rings every single time.

[CJ]

I think he probably just wanted a really expensive necklace.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And wanted some reasoning behind it.

[CJ]

Wanted a good story so people would talk about it.

[Ryan]

Makes a little bit more sense. You guys think Drake is overhyped?

[Jamie]

I. I think that his songs are slightly, at least for my taste in music. They're a little slow and like, kind of just too like lovey dovey and. And just a little bit soft like you're trying to get in your feels almost. Which I don't really want to do. But I do think that he's a legend in the fact that everyone else loves him. And clearly I think he's like, got to be one of the highest earning artists.

[Ryan]

Have you guys seen Drake's plane?

[Ben]

I was just going to bring that.

[Ryan]

A charter, like full on 747 Boeing. Yeah.

[Jamie]

Commercial plane for like 300 passengers. Probably outfitted in just for him.

[Ryan]

A personal jet.

[Ben]

And I was going to bring it up because now he's not. He was the only musical artist to have a plane that size.

[Jamie]

I'm pretty sure they gave it to him.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think Boeing gave that to him. Which at the time I remember when I saw that, I was like, man, why would they do that? But now every time I think of Blake. Drake.

[Jamie]

Don't even remember Blake.

[Ryan]

Now every time I think of Drake, I'm like, man, I know that he's like, big deal. But then I think of his plane. I'm like, who else just gets gifted a Boeing 747 that isn't like the greatest of all times in the eyes of, like, the masses. Because nobody else has has that. Nobody else has been gifted something like that. So maybe it's just like me conforming to the rest of society thinking that way. But I'm like, yeah, no, he is probably a goat because of that.

[Ken]

It was a gift from the Canadian air cargo carrier. Cargo jet. It was used, so it was like 100 million. It's a seven.

[Jamie]

They just gave it to him.

[Ben]

Yeah, I forgot that it was a gift. That's insane because I was just going to say DJ Khaled just posted a video of him, like, plane shopping for basically same size plane as Drake. I'm like, yeah, that's now someone else did it. However, he's got to buy that shit.

[Jamie]

Dude, I saw that video and I thought to myself, and I'm not even throwing shade, that plane has to cost so much money. So much frigging money. How does he have money to pay for that on top of all the other useless shit he's probably paying for?

[Ben]

If there's anybody, no offense to him, streaming money, it's got to be DJ Khaled because he just like slapped the DJ Khaled on that. Slap the DJ Khaled on that.

[Jamie]

When I saw that, all I'm saying is I was like, wow, I had no idea these guys were making this type of money. Yeah, because like, that kind of money is ridiculous to buy the jet. Like, let's say that that jet is 100 million. It's a fuck ton of money, but you got to pay to maintain it, store it, fuel it, fly it. You got to have people to fly it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, like, I mean, it's just.

[Jamie]

That would be a nightmare in my opinion.

[Ryan]

I guess it just goes back to, man, these guys got to be making so much money where it's so easy to justify it because, yeah, it's a headache, but, like, when they got that much money, it ain't a headache for it. I think there is something to be said about, like, DJ Khaled's probably like, I'm the greatest producer of all time. I ain't renting shit. I need myself $100 million jet.

[Ben]

True, dude. So speaking of planes and also renting stuff, like, we got hit up by this.

[CJ]

I don't know, just some dude.

[Ben]

I heard you talking about it too, Ryan. Just some dude that was like, hey, I don't know if he owns it or works for, but this yacht chartering company, basically like renting yachts and went to the page and looked they have 114 pages of rentable yachts and sailboats, and there's 24 on each page. So they have like almost 3,000 yachts around the world that you can rent.

[Jamie]

So what do you say to us?

[Ben]

Got to get you guys in for seven days. And I mean, I'm sure like for.

[Jamie]

Free or we're paying.

[Ben]

Probably not for free.

[CJ]

Okay, look at, look at the top result. They sort by most expensive to least expensive.

[Ben]

This is assuming for seven days. I think they're all kind of just.

[Jamie]

Around what's it gonna cost? Which I already know.

[Ben]

I, I have no interest at $945,000. So basically almost a million.

[Ryan]

Ryan ain't doing it, paying for that. Right, Your ads, Ryan. And they ain't paying for even 1% of it. So we don't even spend a minute.

[Jamie]

On that fucking boat.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Jamie]

Not even a minute.

[Ryan]

So we can look at it. Maybe then that one just.

[Ben]

That one doesn't even look real. Like you look at it and it looks like just. It doesn't look real.

[Jamie]

So this dude just hit us up, was like, hey, do you want to basically pay to.

[Ben]

I mean, no, I can read you the email. It's pretty short lived and boring.

[CJ]

But go to the 114th page and then that's probably more what the ones that.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Jamie]

Pontoon. So 21 foot pontoon.

[Ben]

Actually not nearly as bad as you'd think.

[CJ]

But I went all the way to.

[Ben]

The last page and then looked for the cheapest one. It's $1350 for assuming seven days. And it's a dinghy.

[Jamie]

1300 bucks.

[Ken]

Seven days.

[CJ]

Darn near.

[Jamie]

It's a Lund fishing boat.

[Ryan]

It's with a 90 horse on the back.

[Ben]

It's like a two. Like a two little bedroom, like little mini yacht. Yeah. I was like, for 1350 bucks.

[Ryan]

Mini yacht. Hold up. Pull up the photo. Pull up the photo.

[Jamie]

A mini yacht.

[CJ]

It does all say plus expensive.

[Jamie]

A pontoon. Oh, so then with a fishing boat on it.

[Ben]

But that's what I was wondering.

[Ryan]

Mini yacht. It's a house boat on a pontoon. Dude.

[CJ]

Evan and I had a great idea when we were searching up houseboats.

[Jamie]

I was curious, do we want to. I was just about to actually say this. Do we want to spoil it? Because some people like to steal our ideas.

[Ben]

You can't steal it because it's ours.

[CJ]

Okay, well, Evan and I were talking about how expensive it is, leaving me out.

[Jamie]

I was a part of this too.

[CJ]

Evan and I and cj, we're talking about how expensive it is to live around here.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[CJ]

And Evan said I should just get, like, a houseboat type of deal, and I could park that out in front of the boys, his house really live on.

[Ben]

Love that.

[Ryan]

Genius.

[Jamie]

And I was like, yeah, sandbar. You could move around and be lit.

[Ryan]

It'd be great.

[CJ]

And then he brought up a couple stories of ones he'd seen up on bigger lakes, all that. And he goes, you know what?

[Ryan]

We could.

[CJ]

We could build one for here. And then what did you say? You go, well, we could just buy a skid fish house and drag it on, and then you could live in that, right.

[Jamie]

On a flat pontoon.

[CJ]

On a flat barrels. And I said, what about one better. You take an RV or like a towable RV and you back it onto the pontoon. You build a little deck around it. So then from the water, you got a houseboat.

[Ben]

Right.

[Ryan]

This is brilliant.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And then you.

[Jamie]

Brilliant.

[Ryan]

I can't believe you guys came up with this.

[CJ]

You peter on over to the shore.

[Ryan]

No, no offense.

[CJ]

You peter on over to the shore, and then you put it up, back the truck down, hook up, go out into the woods for the weekend. Sunday comes around back, right on, you're back on the lake.

[Ryan]

Is that legal? Maybe.

[Ben]

Yeah. Like, what if all you had to.

[Jamie]

Do is register it as a pontoon?

[Ben]

Yeah. Bolt the tires down or, like, strap the tires to the pond. Yeah, it's all. It's all part of it.

[Jamie]

So I guess mine's tippy. Yeah, it does sound a little tippy, but it does sound pretty lit. Being right at the sandbar, you're all, you know, doing whatever you do there. You maybe a little. You're a little bit trashed. And then you're like, I can't go home. I'm gonna sleep right there. Within your own house. We go and park it right on the pond, on the track. Evan lives on the motocross track on the water.

[Ben]

That doesn't sound.

[Ryan]

The three.

[Jamie]

That sounds pretty late.

[Ryan]

We start taxing Evan.

[Jamie]

Do I really think we're going. Going to put a trailer home on a pontoon and. And have Evan live in it?

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Jamie]

Well, but what I did have an idea for was that we should do like a 24 hour or maybe 48 hour. God, I hate houseboat challenge. So we either rent one or we go somewhere that has one that actually. And we go and park that out on the water, middle of summer, and it's all of us, and. And I'm sure one of us will leave because they will be so Goddamn mad by the end of 10 hours of it.

[Ryan]

That actually kind of sounds nice.

[Jamie]

It'd be like the igloo challenge, which no one actually folded on that tr.

[Ryan]

Well, but to date, that was my. One of my least favorite. Actually, no, that was my least favorite video we've ever filmed and made. The 24 hour igloo challenge. I think that to do it properly, that kind of idea, you'd have to do it on like straight up, the smallest boat possible.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah, like.

[Ryan]

Like whatever. Make this suck.

[Jamie]

I want room to like bring the pinball machine with.

[Ryan]

I. I don't doubt that for a second. I know that you guys couldn't bear to leave.

[Jamie]

I think it would be awesome. How about we don't try to make it this big suffering thing. How about we just go and have a good time?

[Ben]

But then it's like, what. What do we put the time limit at is like 48 hours.

[Jamie]

If we're having good time. Why do you gotta leave? We're having fun. Why are you leaving?

[Ryan]

Our girlfriends are like, the video is over four days ago. We're just. We're really just trying to challenge ourselves.

[Jamie]

We're tubing.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

If it had like, you know, if it was like a yacht and has jet skis hanging off the side and shit, like, I mean, that would be considered leaving.

[Jamie]

I'm not going to lie, man, this thing is going to be far from a yacht. Far from a yacht. If we have a small window air for air conditioner, we're going to be living very large.

[CJ]

Okay. The video is titled, like surviving 72 hours on a Boat. And then the boat is like fricking. It's got jet skis strapped to it and it's got like a full live in bar and bedroom, like old staff.

[Jamie]

Yeah. This is terrible. I want to get off.

[Ben]

Count down the time.

[Jamie]

You want to know something, Ben? You said that the 24 hours in the igloo was the worst video that we filmed to date. For one, I thought that was a lot of fun. And for two, you want to know. I mean, this is a pretty bold statement because I'd really have to look through the probably 400 videos. I don't even know where we're at. But this R6 quad swap that we're currently working on that we weren't even able to drop this week because it. Everything has been such a headache. That is. This is actually my least favorite video as of right now. I know we're probably a third through. It is my least favorite video we've Made.

[Ben]

And that's the fun thing, bro.

[CJ]

I, banshee not having fun are the worst two videos I think we've ever made in our YouTube career.

[Jamie]

It's not our worst video. Worst time making.

[CJ]

Worst time making.

[Jamie]

It's going to be a legendary video when it's done. But it's like, we've just spent so much time, you know, we're all kind of sitting around trying to figure out, like, how to, oh, how do we make this work, whatever. And it's just so much time to ultimately be cut down into. Probably, like, we. We spent five days filming so far, and we probably have four minutes of a video just due to, like, the slow process of building this thing. And it has been extremely boring. I told Alex. She asked me how my day was. I said it was boring. She asked me how my day was again. The next day. I said it was boring. She asked me how it was. I said boring. And honestly, I have not had a boring day in a very, very. I don't even. I don't know if I have had a boring day in six, seven years. Like, straight up.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, no, I. I know what you're saying. When I think back to filming that video, just, like, the different emotions that I got from it weren't like, I'm bored, or like, this sucks. Like, I was anxious, and I'm not an anxious person. Very rarely do I, like, tweak on something. But the fact of, like, being underneath that much snow and, like, on the.

[CJ]

Lake and the on ice was a nice new twist, but there was just.

[Ryan]

Like, parts to it where it was, like, evoking new emotions out of myself that I didn't even know existed. And I was like, I just want this to be over. I. I'm, like, thinking of the worst possible options, and, like, I'm in such a negative headspace.

[Jamie]

You were.

[Ryan]

I was just like. And I hate. I hate being, like, that person or having that, like, mentality on something. I was just like, I just need to, like, start over. This is just not good. I need to get out of this place. And we couldn't. And that's like, well, you could have laughed. I could have. I could have. But, like, that wouldn't have been good.

[Jamie]

I would have got wrapped pink.

[Ryan]

Right? And it still did, which is ridiculous. Still so stupid. But, dude, I have so much respect for creators that do these challenges for, like, 48 hours or 50 hours just to, like, meet the title and thumbnail, to like, make it look good.

[Jamie]

Most of them aren't, like, life Risking, though, like, I will say, but if things did go wrong, it would have been bad.

[Ryan]

I felt like that igloo challenge was like, kind of like life risking.

[Jamie]

That was. But most other YouTubers don't have life, life risking challenges.

[Ben]

Right.

[Ryan]

And the whole time I just thought, this is not worth it. And it's a waste of our, like, waste of our time. But mostly, like, I hate that we're even risking this because, like, the igloo could have collapsed pretty much at any given point. It would have been bad. It would have been really bad.

[Jamie]

But it didn't.

[Ryan]

You're right, it didn't.

[Jamie]

And alas, it stayed up for another week or two. Even we drove Razor afterwards.

[Ryan]

Afterwards, we knew that. But like, in the time I was like, this is so stupid. Like, just for like a short term gain. I don't know. That's just kind of like my mentality in the moment. So that's why I look back at it and think, like, the suck wasn't worth it.

[Jamie]

I. I can respect your mentality of not looking for a short term gain because I'm the same way. I'm all about just it. Like this, this YouTube game or whatever else kind of career you're doing is a marathon, not a sprint. And I feel that. And I think about that every day when we're planning and just navigating our path. But I didn't feel that way in that moment. Yeah, I was thinking, like, if this shit fell right now, it'd be really bad. But I felt pretty comfortable in there. And it was a little scary and I was cold, but for the most part, it was exhilarating. And I like the camaraderie of it and I thought it was really fun. I honestly had a good time. I would do it again, but I just know there's really no point in doing it again because it's like, we can't make a video doing it again and do it better because that was like top of the line. We had a fucking Nintendo Switch, a keg, we had a bar, we had steak. Like, it was pretty awesome. It was legendary, man. It was legendary. It was such a fun time.

[Ryan]

But that's why I, like, it was.

[Jamie]

All built by us.

[Ben]

Yeah, that was sick too. I love the idea you just had with the houseboat thing because it's like, we can't do the igloo again. Like, we could make it bigger and better, stronger, but it's like, what's the transition? And I love that.

[Jamie]

So how do you feel about instead of being Freezing. Being very, very hot.

[Ryan]

I can deal with that.

[CJ]

And mosquitoes.

[Jamie]

Mosquitoes, big bugs, and possibly the boat sinking.

[Ryan]

I can always put on a life jacket. Veggie.

[Jamie]

A life jacket for, like, 48 hours.

[Ryan]

I would do some of those things. Honestly, like, some things that we do actually kind of tweak me out where, like, I reflect back on. I'm like, man, I was pretty tweaked out on that. Thank God nothing went wrong. But, like, I tried to play it cool. And then afterwards I was, yeah, we've.

[Ben]

Talked about that before. Where it's like, certain things trip Ryan out that don't trip you out. Certain things don't trip Evan out that trip me out. And just like, it's so funny because we always go, dude, are you seriously tripping out about this right now? And you do this. You're tripping about this and you do that?

[Jamie]

No, I'd agree with that.

[Ryan]

I think it's how much time I have to, like, really think about it.

[CJ]

I feel like the amount of time that you're immersed in, the stress is what gets to you. You can deal with, like, the little bursts of it, but if it's just like a constant looming thing, then that's when, like, being stuck in an igloo, stuff like that, that's when it gets to you.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Evans is really random. He'll like, Evan, drive a spiked R6, 100 miles an hour, lay the thing down, rev limit, dual wheelie. But, like, if the gas tank doesn't have the right thread bolt in it, he's like, this is ridiculous.

[Jamie]

He does his little throw him up.

[CJ]

Yeah, but it just. That's. That's the way it goes. I have things that stress me out for no reason. And I. To go back on that would say that making these videos has been the worst for me because I get stressed about, one, not feeling like we're all utilizing our time. And two, being worried that it's not going to get done. And then three, that when it gets done, it's not going to work. And all those things add up to me and then come out in a negative way.

[Ryan]

I'd say.

[Ben]

Very well said. It's like those emotions come out when you have to worry about, okay, the time frame of it getting done. And then, like, when everybody feels the same way. Kind of like you're Googling shit, but.

[Jamie]

Then you, like, I don't even know Instagram.

[Ben]

Yeah, no, actually, like, that happens, but also, like. And then maybe there's too many hands in the kitchen at the time. And you're just, like, sitting there staring at it, and nothing's getting solved. That is where.

[CJ]

That's what just gets, like. Gets you all worked. It gets me all worked up.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

It's so stressful, dude.

[Ryan]

When we have off time, though, man, I love just doing nothing, like, just.

[Jamie]

Chilling, which is nice to see you.

[CJ]

Come around to, because there was many years I remember we would not, like, if we were just chilling, like, maybe a year and a half ago, you would, like, stress out. You're like, we should be doing something. There's something we could be doing, right? I'm like, dude, it's okay.

[Ryan]

Just to be fair, we should have been doing something. Probably we should have been doing something.

[CJ]

But you can't always do something.

[Ryan]

But on, like, a Sunday, when me and Greta are just chilling, and she's like, let's do this, let's do this, let's do that. Let's go for a walk or, like.

[Jamie]

Go and work out.

[Ryan]

I'm like, no, no, no, no.

[CJ]

I've been doing things.

[Ben]

No, I don't want to do that.

[Ryan]

I don't want to do any of that.

[Ben]

I want to.

[Ryan]

I want to chill.

[Ben]

Now that you said that, I think I'm the opposite. It's, like, still really?

[CJ]

Yeah, you've always just had a wild amount of energy.

[Ben]

Like a. Like, on a Sunday, I'm like, yeah.

[Jamie]

What can we do?

[Ben]

What is there something to do? There's got to be something to do. But I still like to chill.

[Jamie]

See, you are a ball of energy, Mike. You're up early in the morning.

[Ben]

One of those two of those might have been lies.

[CJ]

No, I feel the. The same way then with the laundry. And I feel so bad because, like, I'll get home from a day here. And I've spent all day talking with you guys. My best friends love it. It's great. But I spent all day talking and doing things, you know, being in the car, driving, being outside. I'm, like, active and socially active. And then I get home, and I'm like, I cannot wait to just watch TV and just. Just unwind a little bit. But she's been cooped up, working at home all day. The only social interaction she gets is with, like, her coworkers on Zoom. And then I'm just like. She's like, hey, how was your day? And I asked all these questions, and I'm just, like, completely burnt out. And I feel really bad. I feel like that's a hard thing for people who live different lifestyles, you know?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think Both sides are very relatable.

[CJ]

It's like a tough balance.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Totally switching things up. We've been thinking about going into the new year and changing things up around this, the podcast studio here, like doing something different either with the desk or completely getting rid of the desk. We're thinking about just going with couches. Just like kind of making the environment the podcast studio just like a little bit more chill. Yeah. A little bit like more open and free. Less like desky and set up, but.

[Jamie]

Also more spread out. Where Evan sitting on the couch right now, which you guys can't see if you're watching on YouTube. He would be on camera in a sense.

[Ryan]

It'd be like very.

[Jamie]

I kind of like the spread outness. But obviously we haven't made our mind up yet, but we are going to be changing the set. I don't know what we're going to do with this sweet, like, table that we had made. It's really cool, but we definitely got.

[CJ]

Our use worth but 57 podcast 58.

[Ben]

I wouldn't be mad about sitting on a couch while talking to you guys. This is great, but if I can lean back.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I think the thing about the podcast table is it is nice, but it does feel like a little, I don't want to say formal, but if it's in more of like a relaxed setting, like it might be a little bit more like flowing and easygoing almost and like less intimidating if we have like guests or like our friends just sit down just because like being up in Minnesota, as you guys have seen, like, there's very few guests that we can have on here just because like the lack of people that come on. But we're like, we have so many friends that have like interesting stories or just honestly shoot the shit with us. Funny that we're like, do you should come on our podcast and let's just have a good time and like chop it up and then they sit down and it's like feels formal.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You got the lights, you got the cameras. And it's harder to have a conversation versus just sitting on the couch or sitting down in the shop just shooting the shit. So we're trying to think of like, how do we, you know, continue to make these programs but bring on just like our friends to just have conversations with.

[Jamie]

Yeah, it's just like what we were so before this, we were sitting down, eating, and me, Ben, Evan and our boy Fast was downstairs and we were having this, this really funny, awesome conversation. We're like, damn, this would have been great on the podcast. But, like, you don't ever get into some. Sometimes you don't get into those. Either way, we need more cameras around the room, you know, like, what do you think, Jamie?

[Ben]

Oh, can't even be mad at the guy. Can't even be mad at the guy. Jamie.

[Jamie]

Snipe.

[CJ]

I got a couple more months of weeks of exclusivity. I think, technically, online, I am supposed to be just drinking course.

[Ben]

Well, good for you.

[Jamie]

You drink course every day.

[CJ]

I do.

[Jamie]

The only thing you drink is. Course you don't drink. Water, milk, pop, nothing.

[Ben]

My favorite I. I small call out here is because it just cracked me up.

[Jamie]

When you reach into the fridge, you.

[Ben]

Grabbed a Mountain Dew, Then you kept the door open with your forearm, grabbed a Coors, looked at them both, put them on.

[CJ]

It's time. They both look good, you know? Want to know the actual thing that was going on in my head is I recently started drinking apple crown and Mountain Dews, and I was like, I'm gonna mix up an apple crown and Mountain Dew. And then I was like, that might be a little extreme for right now. So then I grabbed a beer instead. Darn good.

[Jamie]

A lot of sugar.

[CJ]

There's a lot of sugar.

[Jamie]

You know, it is funny, though, I will say, with going back to the podcast, the amount of people that listen to it that are actually, like, you know, associates of us. I was going to say real people, acquaintances is alarming. Like, I'll go places, and now they'll be like, yeah, like, you know, your guys's issue with the mechanic, like, and if you ever get that solved, I'm like, did I tell you about this? Did you, like, well, you know, on the last podcast, I'm like, you listen to the podcast? And they're like, yeah, yeah, I listen to everyone. I'm like, oh, my. Okay. Oh, my. I got it straightened up on there.

[Ryan]

Greta's mom listened to. I don't know if it was a couple of them, but the My dad podcast.

[Ben]

Oh.

[Ryan]

And I was just thinking back, like.

[CJ]

Oh, man, we're good in that one.

[Jamie]

Don't go back any further. Yeah.

[Ryan]

So the other day, Greta's brother got held at gunpoint and robbed in the cities.

[Ben]

What?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

Jesus.

[Ryan]

Yeah, dude. On the U of M campus.

[CJ]

Oh, her little brother.

[Ben]

That is not cool. No, I was hoping you were gonna say, like, in Mexico or something.

[Ryan]

Like, no, dude, in Minneapolis.

[Ben]

No, but it's a lot more likely to happen. And I don't know, maybe not.

[Ryan]

Anyway, yeah, he was walking into his frat house just, like, Literally behind the house.

[Jamie]

It was the other frat, wasn't it?

[Ben]

Oh.

[Ryan]

And yeah, some guy was like, I hope I'm not, like, outnumber.

[Jamie]

Like.

[Ryan]

Like, they're upset that I'm, like, telling the story. I just think it's, like, crazy. And it kind of just shows, like, where everything has kind of gone to shit. But especially, you know, close to us. It didn't feel like Minnesota would, like, be like this. But yeah, he was, like, walking to his frat house, and this guy put down his window and was like, come here. And, you know, what do you do when you're in an alley? It was like a short. Like a tiny little alleyway. And he goes up to the window, and the guy pulls out a gun, points it at him, and he's like, give me your phone in your wallet. Makes him open up his phone, give the code, and then go into icloud and delete his icloud. So, like, the phone isn't trackable.

[CJ]

Gosh.

[Ryan]

And then he couldn't remember the code, so he, like, had him tell him, like, five times and was like, I'm going to sell the phone, like, I need to know the code. And then thankfully let him go. Yeah.

[CJ]

Who knew that forgetting your icloud password, which happens every time, would come in handy? So did you not take his phone?

[Ryan]

No, he took his phone. Oh, no, he took his phone. He took his wallet, took everything.

[CJ]

Oh, I thought he gave it back, his phone back to him because he couldn't figure out the code.

[Ryan]

No, no, no. The guy couldn't remember his phone code.

[Jamie]

Oh.

[Ryan]

So he asked him like, five times.

[CJ]

What a fucking idiot. Gotta be on top of this type of stuff. You're doing armed robbery in an alley.

[Ryan]

Something tells me the guys doing armed robberies and alleys aren't the smartest guys to remember codes.

[CJ]

But anyway.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Isn't that crazy?

[CJ]

In on campus or just off campus? Yeah, I mean, house is right on campus.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

That is so messed up.

[Ben]

Was it like someone his age? Our age?

[Ryan]

No, he said he was, like an older guy, and I guess, like, the cops have been watching him, and there's like, video cameras of the incident and everything, but, like, he was in an unmarked car. Didn't have license plate.

[CJ]

Oh, no plates.

[Ryan]

He's just driving around. And now he's, like, at. You know, at large, technically. Like, he's probably still doing the same shit. So when that happened, me and Greta started looking at, like, the crime reports in the cities, and, dude, that's just like, one of 50 things that happened that day, right?

[CJ]

Yeah, probably that hour.

[Jamie]

Small, I'm sure, in the scale of it. Which not to even try to minimize it, but that's crazy. Like, that's got to be pretty scarring, obviously, having a gun pointed at you. You don't know. You don't know if the guy's gonna pull the trigger.

[Ryan]

Right.

[Jamie]

And thank God he didn't, obviously.

[Ben]

I guess it's definitely gonna make him more careful. I mean, I'm not saying walking, that's no, but I'm just saying, like, I.

[Ryan]

Don'T think it's just your living, like, situation.

[Ben]

Yeah, it's the worst. But I was like, if that's what it is going to be in Minneapolis, then that's what it's going to be. And I'm just like, hopefully he's got his guard up. I don't want that to him to ever even walk over to a car that says, come here.

[CJ]

I love what you need to do, Micah. Just hopefully he learned his lesson.

[Ryan]

When Mike has a guy, a guy puts down his window, he points a gun at you and says, come here.

[Jamie]

What are you going to do?

[Ryan]

Run away?

[Jamie]

Well, Mike would have been his fault.

[CJ]

For not being out after dark and.

[Ryan]

Wearing those type of clothes at 1:30 in the afternoon. Yeah.

[CJ]

He shouldn't have been wearing those type of clothes.

[Ryan]

You know, it was in the middle of the afternoon.

[CJ]

Wow, that's actually pretty.

[Ben]

I'm not saying he, he learned his lesson. I'm just like, damn, I bet he's going to be careful walking around now. Like, not, not even like, just.

[Ryan]

What do you, what do you mean?

[Jamie]

Like, he's not rolling around without his piece or his boys, right?

[Ryan]

What do you mean, careful? It's, it's like where you live, right?

[Ben]

He's always got to be careful.

[Ryan]

How could, how, what would he have done differently?

[Ben]

I'm not saying he should have done anything differently.

[Jamie]

That's what happens when you go to college.

[Ryan]

I'm just kidding.

[Ben]

I, I, I'm not saying he should have done anything.

[Jamie]

Is what you're saying is like being.

[Ryan]

Aware of your surroundings.

[Ben]

Yeah. Just being aware that the chances of that happening are extremely higher than when he comes home to DL when he comes home.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, yeah. That's what it's just like a completely.

[Ben]

Different, like it actually. Oh, shit. That actually happened to me. I've heard this happening to people in Minneapolis, like, all the time. That happened to me.

[Ryan]

What's super annoying, I've talked to certain people that live in the cities that completely deny the Living situations being dangerous. And I don't understand what.

[Jamie]

Do they live in Minnetonka?

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Jamie]

Yeah. Well, that's why. Yeah.

[Ben]

No, no, no.

[Jamie]

City.

[CJ]

No.

[Ryan]

I think it's people that live outside that don't want to recognize what's happening in the city almost, or I think which is even more like delusional or worse, is that it's like a political stance where you don't want to admit that it is dangerous or that, like things are happening because it looks bad on your politician that you support.

[Jamie]

I'd agree with which.

[Ryan]

Which I'm like, dude, at what point is it just not worth it? Like, politics aside, put price, safety, the pride aside, like the safety of civilians, random civilians in a town, just because of like a certain policy.

[Jamie]

Right, dude, I agree.

[Ryan]

100 political agenda. I don't know.

[Ben]

It's like they don't care about the integrity of their beloved city. You know, they just like letting it go.

[Jamie]

Do you remember?

[Ryan]

I don't think they view it like that, though.

[Ben]

They don't.

[Ryan]

Well, obviously. And I mean, look at politics from either side and they'll both argue. Yeah, they'll both argue against each other. And I don't think either are probably right. But almost putting sense of like humanity aside and trying to make it something political when it shouldn't be, that no human should be put in that position. Like, dude.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Can you imagine being held at gunpoint?

[Jamie]

Was he pretty jarred from it? Was he pretty shooken up?

[Ryan]

Well, I think.

[Jamie]

How's he taking it? I mean, having someone point a gun at you and not knowing whether they're gonna pull the trigger or not. Gotta be pretty. It was pretty scary, you know, when.

[CJ]

It happened to me.

[Jamie]

Jarring.

[Ben]

Yeah, I guess. Like.

[CJ]

I was in a car.

[Ryan]

No, you didn't. They didn't really happen like that.

[Ben]

So I guess.

[CJ]

Oh, so him getting a gun pointed at him, it was different than.

[Ben]

Just doesn't. Yeah.

[Jamie]

Ryan, you're being a little. What are you talking about? In your Jeep. Yeah.

[Ryan]

He didn't have a gun in his hand. Yeah. Yes, he had a gun.

[Jamie]

Pointed a gun at him. Is this dude stupid? Are you on camera? No. He did. He did.

[Ryan]

I blacked out. But he didn't point at you.

[Ben]

You.

[Jamie]

He pointed at us and I said, he's not gonna pull the trigger.

[Ben]

I know.

[CJ]

He won't.

[Ryan]

No, he didn't lift it up.

[CJ]

Jesus Christ.

[Jamie]

Anyway, I.

[CJ]

It doesn't matter.

[Ryan]

No, it does. It does. Did he lift it up?

[Ben]

No.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

Pointed at us. Yes. I was like, he ain't gonna shoot?

[Ryan]

No, he did.

[Ben]

I don't think he ever went like this.

[CJ]

Okay, next time when you tell the story and you go, ryan had a gun pulled on him. The guy was this close to his head. And then I have to go, oh, no. Remember, he didn't even have a gun in his hand.

[Ken]

Was Ben in the same car as everyone else?

[Jamie]

Yeah, he was in the back seat. He couldn't see. That's why he wasn't fre out.

[Ryan]

Anyway, so I do have something to.

[Jamie]

Say about the cities. This reminds me of a story that actually Ryan and I experienced together. It was last year, last fall, and him and I and our girlfriends went to a Vikings game, and we were staying in a nice hotel just across the street from stadium, and we go walking out on game day. We're sitting there waiting for, like, our Uber or something, or we were gonna go get brunch. It doesn't matter. And this guy comes up that was supposedly homeless, and he goes like, you know, hey, could I get some money? Like, I'm trying to. Trying to get back home to see my. My mama. And he was like, God, he had to been in his 50s. And, like, I don't know. I'm actually kind of a sucker. I give. I normally give people money, but it just didn't feel right. He got to me last, and I just was, like, thinking to myself, I'm like, God damn it. Like, I can't keep just doing this. And I just said, sorry, man. All I got is my card. And he literally looked at me like this.

[Ryan]

He goes.

[Jamie]

White. I just started screaming, freaking out, Whoa, wife. You'll take that. That word out. Beep it. Like, it. Actually, I actually. I haven't heard that word in a long time. He starts calling us it and, like, creates a whole scene, and we're all just like this. And he just, like, goes walking away, and we're just like. He was so nice and polite asking for the money, and he switched like this. And I was like, bro. I went from being like, God, I feel so bad telling this guy, like, no, I don't have any cash on me, like, almost swinging that guy. I'd imagine that even bigger cities are, you know, dealing with the same thing. But it's like, how do you even fix that? How do you fix that you can't give money out to people because then you create another problem. It's just, like, ultimately, it's just a societal thing.

[Ryan]

Where does Minneapolis rank in, like, the most violent cities?

[CJ]

Honestly? God, I'd have to admit it's probably not even cracking the top 15.

[Jamie]

I would imagine not, but it just.

[Ken]

Really is not as high as you think.

[Ryan]

But really I think it is.

[CJ]

I think like number one to Baltimore.

[Ken]

St. Louis, which I've actually heard. St. Louis is really bad. Memphis bunch of Milwaukee.

[CJ]

That's dang.

[Jamie]

Yeah. Have you ever heard about the Kia boys?

[Ken]

Minneapolis Evans heard about them.

[Jamie]

He was part of them for. Well, now we don't want to spill the beans, but you guys ever heard about the Kia Boys? So it's basically this group of young men in Milwaukee. They're like Wisconsin. I don't even know if I could say young men. They are boys, like young teenagers. And they figured out for some reason how to steal Kias very easily. And they steal these Kias.

[Ben]

Wondering how they got their name.

[Jamie]

Yeah, the Kia boys, they're. They're the Kia Boys. We're the Sea Boys. They're the Kia Boys.

[CJ]

Don't get a mix.

[Jamie]

Don't get like, we're the C Boys because we're the boys of Cormorant. They're the Kia boys because they steal Kias and drive them recklessly. Wreck them, roll them, go like 100 mile an hour through like a 25 mile an hour, like residential zone. They are so reckless and they have no care in the world. And this YouTuber, Tommy G, actually did a little segment. He did a video with him.

[Ben]

Check that out.

[Jamie]

He does like these documentaries where he.

[Ryan]

Goes to the hood.

[Jamie]

He's a really. I, I actually with.

[Ben]

I've seen a few of his other.

[Jamie]

He's up and coming. He did a video. So he. Anyways, he goes to Milwaukee and he does this video with them. They like start ripping these cars.

[Ryan]

How do you do a video with them? Aren't they so like his channel?

[Jamie]

Yeah. They were wearing masks.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Jamie]

They had ski masks on. Like the kids.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

And you just would have to go check it out. But he does these. He started doing these documentary type of videos, 15 minute videos, where he'll go and be with the Kia boys who are stealing Kias. Or he'll go and hang around like a. A really big drug dealer and like film drug deals and everyone's masked up and like, it's. It's like a show you would see on Vice.

[Ben]

Like, Vice.

[Jamie]

Yeah. Where like. And he's. He does a really good job because it just is very real.

[CJ]

How does he get that approved with like a drug dealer?

[Jamie]

I.

[CJ]

And that's.

[Jamie]

I don't know. I think you eventually develop a reputation. Like he keeps it real.

[Ryan]

And.

[Jamie]

And ultimately, a lot of these people, you know, you've never been on camera. You're into money and making money or whatever. A lot of people want to be like, a star, you know, they feel cool, whether their face is masked or whatever. It's just like, I guess I can. It hits them there. But anyways, he did this video on. I believe it was in New York, and the dirt bikes that are running the streets around there. And the guy who was his main form of contact clearly watches our videos because he was wearing a Seaboys TV dirt. No way. Dead ass serious. Dead ass serious. The guy that he meets up with and then brings him to go meet with all the other guys that are doing wheelies in the street is wearing a Seaboys TV dirt bike shirt. I swear to God. So sick, bro. I. And I've been watching his videos for, like, two months, and then that pops.

[Ryan]

I'm like.

[Jamie]

Like, that's pretty cool.

[Ryan]

But also, I don't know. Pop it up.

[Jamie]

I will send you the link. Ryan, you can put it on the screen. Dude was wearing a dirt bike shirt. Whoever that guy's.

[Ben]

Yeah, his name. Yeah, his name.

[Jamie]

I don't know. Can we really plug him? Can we plug him? Is he gonna get in trouble?

[Ben]

I don't know. He's trying to. Whatever, we'll plug.

[Ryan]

Fuck it.

[Ben]

Yeah, nice guy. And he's like, yeah, I had to cop that. He copped the quad one, too.

[Jamie]

Let's send him some more shit. Let's send him some shit after this. Just because he was wearing it in that video. And that's so cool. I'm gonna actually hit up Tommy G and say, yo, love what you're doing also.

[Ben]

That'd be sick. Yeah. Do you guys, like, watch, like, on that similar form of content? Like, real media right now is definitely on YouTube, I would say. Not the news. And Andrew Callahan, like, all gas, no breaks. He. He actually got, like, a company bought that whole channel from him, and he lost it. So he can't do.

[Ryan]

Why did that happen?

[Ben]

Basically, he was, like, just trying to make it. And they came to him and said, we'll fund all of this. We'll pay for you and a filmer, maybe two filmers, and we'll get you an RV and we'll pay for your gas. And I think that's about it, you know, like, fronted them $20,000 to get going and to film for the year. And then, like, something. I can't.

[Jamie]

They screwed him over in the contract. Yeah, it sounds like.

[Ben]

And then he Basically, like, give up his All Gas, no Brakes channel, which is just a fun name.

[Jamie]

That's so that happens all the time in contracts. If you don't have someone reading your contracts or if you're not reading them yourself, you're up.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

Straight up. How many stories have you heard of that?

[Ben]

He's like, just Channel five with Andrew Callahan. And, like, dude, he. He did like a full documentary on O Block. Like in Chicago.

[Jamie]

He did. Dude, like, Tommy G did one as well.

[Ben]

It's like O' Block is like a big community of apart, like, apartments. And there's like. It's like Section 8 housing, you know?

[Jamie]

Like, it's very dangerous and it's just dangerous.

[Ben]

That's where, like, Chief Keef came from. And, like, it's just dangerous in general. Like, there's like, this building is, like, against this bill. It's not quite like that, but like, dude, people, like, they're shooting all over. And he, like, went and then he took them to a Cubs baseball game and all that. Like, he just does the media covers. Pretty cool that, like, no one's covering. Like, going in there with, like, legit gang members.

[CJ]

Wow.

[Jamie]

It's a little bit ingenious. Like, it's not only going and documenting, but then taking them to, like, a normal societal event.

[Ryan]

That's some shit we do.

[Ben]

Like, he just goes to, like, all the rallies and protests, and he never says anything bad about anyone, about any side, about any certain this or that, but he just ends up clowning, like, basically everyone he interviews. Like, that's not his main goal, but it's like, it's very funny.

[Jamie]

I feel like you could do that, Mike.

[Ben]

I would love it. He's. But I'm not outgoing enough. Like, I feel outgoing, but, like, I'm not quick and witty. And he's like, he. No, I guess you're right.

[Ryan]

He doesn't really come out. He's pretty quiet, outgoing. Yeah.

[Ben]

I just love very entertaining content.

[Ryan]

I have a lot of respect for people that are able to go into situations that are going to be uncomfortable.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And especially for the cameraman, too. You know, it's one of those behind the scenes things that do not get the respect that they deserve because it's.

[Jamie]

So awkward when they look at you and they're like, you're fucking filming me.

[CJ]

Yeah, you're the one.

[Jamie]

They normally have a problem with the camera guy and you got to sit there and hold that shit on them. And, like, if anyone's getting punched first, it's the cameraman for sure. Either Whack the camera or hit the cameraman.

[Ryan]

A lot of times for YouTubers that just are like a single YouTuber with a cameraman, like, Danny Duncan's a great example of it. He's probably the biggest example of it. They go around and if anyone presses the cameraman there, they get pissed and they. They cover them and like, do not touch the cameraman or my camera.

[Jamie]

It's your duty as. And I mean, you know, I don't even know who we're really speaking to, but if you're a YouTuber and you are hiring a cameraman and you're putting doing these situational vehicle or videos where the cameraman is in an opportunity to get hit, it is your duty to make sure they don't like.

[CJ]

I remember getting a goalie.

[Jamie]

Yeah. I remember when exactly Logan Paul was. Was with Jake, right. And Jake was hanging around the shady character at the time. And the guy went after Logan Paul's cameraman, and Logan Paul grabbed the fucking dude and slammed into the ground. I've seen that happen. I've seen so many people, like just defend their. Their camera guys and. Because they respect them, because you. Without them, it's not.

[Ben]

I love that.

[Ryan]

It's also a very selfless duty.

[Jamie]

It's a selfless duty. You get no fame and you're just. You're in the line of fire and.

[Ben]

It'S like easy to. You can do a hundred things right and one wrong, you know, like 100 things right. Delete the one clip you shouldn't have, like bounced this, you know, you fumble the shot. Yeah, but I love that. I love. It's also. It's just like. I love how you said protect the goalie. It's just like the goalie, in a sense. You can do 100 things right, block 100 shots, but if you miss the three, man one that matters. Yeah, that's so funny.

[CJ]

Unless you're a cameraman around here, then you get attacked because you're probably also the one playing the prank. Like when Ken threw that thing at you. No, you were a bystander. No, you were a cameraman.

[Jamie]

I will admit I slightly. I mean, it was kind of my instigation, but I was.

[Ryan]

It's different for our situation because, well, friends, right?

[CJ]

Yeah, but I see what you're saying. If you're putting someone in the line of fire.

[Jamie]

You want to know something? I haven't been able to appreciate as much just lately. And maybe it might be just due to my coming of age.

[Ben]

Soccer.

[Jamie]

No, it's when people go out and they make videos, potentially riling up someone just minding their own business. I say they go to Target and this guy is shopping, and they're. They're secretly filming them, and they very clearly instigate them to get mad. And then they make this video on him. But it's like, this guy's really witty and he's. He's quick with the comebacks, and it's very obvious that he's joking and the other guy doesn't. And they basically make the other person look bad on video. And it's very easily for me to, like, watch it and see and be like, they totally just did that guy dirty. They set him up. And, I mean, we've maybe done it a couple times too. I think it's considered punching down in the industry. It's like. Like when the joke's not on you, you kind of are punching down and, you know, whatever. But I've had a hard time appreciating that lately.

[Ben]

Interesting.

[Jamie]

You know what I'm saying?

[Ryan]

And I don't.

[Jamie]

I'm not even gonna say. I'm not gonna say YouTubers, names that do that. But there's so many that have made such a large career off of it. It's like, I. I think maybe I don't appreciate as much because they're like, I. I know how these people are living. I'm like, wow, dude, like, you're millionaire and you go around Walmart and pick on these, like, people that are just trying to get by, and then you set them up and then you make it big off of it, and it's just like, I don't know.

[Ryan]

And then you.

[CJ]

I used to cut.

[Jamie]

I used. Yeah, you can edit it and make them look bad, make you look good. And that used to be my favorite type of content, right. But now I have grown out of it because, I don't know, I just have a different look on it. I don't. I don't appreciate it as much.

[Ben]

I think there's, like, two truths to that. Like, both sides. How you said it is considered punching down in the industry? Because it is. And then there's also the side of some. It's all subjective. Sometimes it's funny. Sometimes it is funny. And like, how you said we've maybe done it a few times, because sometimes it happens when we're, like, out and about, maybe especially different when you're looking.

[Jamie]

For it or you're out, but creating.

[Ben]

A whole career off of it. Completely different. It's because then it's like they're up. They're way up. Like they're making money and they're just always like, always detriment, punching down.

[Jamie]

Like it's different if I'm making fun of you because it's kind of like, you know, we're in this together kind of thing. But it's like not really that cool if you're like clowning random people, basically just taking.

[CJ]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

That's a very grown up thing of you to say. But I mean, it's 100% something I've.

[Jamie]

Recently realized because there's just people that I've watched for a long time that I have a hard time watching.

[Ben]

And it definitely is changing people on watching on YouTube. It's shifting towards a. I like how you did this prank on people. No one got hurt, no one got upset, no one whatever.

[Jamie]

To be clear, you mentioned Danny Duncan. It's not. I'm not even talking about Danny Duncan. There's just so many other people that, that do that type of content. Danny Duncan is probably my favorite youtuber still.

[Ryan]

I think it's probably the easiest. One of the easiest types of content to make.

[Jamie]

Not though. But it, it just takes a certain type of person. You have to have balls.

[Ryan]

Yeah. No, for sure. But like, if you do, if you go up to 25 people.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

To do it, odds are that you're gonna find one person that's gonna give you such a good reaction, you're gonna go viral off of it. So it's like, it's just kind of a numbers game.

[CJ]

But there's this guy on Instagram that I have followed and I think he's really funny and he does a little bit more where he makes fun of himself. And that's kind of why it's a little funnier still. It's interacting with random people. But he goes to like a Lowe's and he's smoking weed and he goes, can I smoke this in here? And like, nobody stops him.

[Ben]

Same for.

[CJ]

Just ends up getting wicked high. And he like literally is at. He's like, can someone please kick me out? They're like, nah, man, you're good to do that in here. Just totally flipped it on.

[Jamie]

They don't want to even press them.

[CJ]

Yeah, they don't even want probably whatever.

[Jamie]

Type of city they live in.

[Ben]

It's so funny.

[Jamie]

Yeah, they're like, we got bigger problems to deal with, man. People are stealing stuff in here.

[CJ]

Yeah, they like, we don't need to stop that. I'm going to pull it up.

[Ryan]

Speaking of stealing stuff, I saw Walmart just dropped a stat that they had a billion dollars worth of stuff stolen.

[Jamie]

Last year, I believe.

[Ben]

Whoa.

[Jamie]

Yeah. And. And I heard that they were talking about potentially closing down their stores, which I thought was major cap.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, major cap.

[Ken]

Certain stores.

[Ben]

So the dumb question. Oh, maybe it feels dumb, but is Walmart worldwide or just us?

[CJ]

Worldwide, I don't know about.

[Jamie]

Yeah, I know it's America.

[Ben]

Not a lot, but there. Is it not allowed?

[Ken]

I think they tried and they kind of closed a few.

[Ben]

Can you imagine? Not allowed. But yeah, so if it's like worldwide or. But if that's just us, like, you know, put them. That's a lot of stolen. What.

[Ryan]

What is Walmart's revenue a year? Like, is a billion bucks for Walmart's revenue?

[Ben]

A lot, though.

[CJ]

Yeah, they said a billion dollars was stolen.

[Jamie]

There's. There's some cities where they have, like, laws where they don't enforce certain type of crimes. Where, like, so if it's a. If it's like, under a certain dollar amount, they don't enforce it. And I've seen videos of this. It'll be like, this guy comes in here every week and steals whatever, and he's just masked up and, like, no one can stop him. He just walks in, takes leaves. No one does anything. They just turn the other cheek. And the police don't do anything either.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Because they're like, oh, this guy just stole a bag of chips and a pop.

[Jamie]

The guy, you know, whatever. But yeah, he just walks in, walks out.

[CJ]

Wow.

[Jamie]

And I think there's a lot of cities like that. I don't know what exactly it's called. It's like a.

[Ryan]

Just like a petty crime.

[Jamie]

Yeah. They consider under a certain dollar amount maybe like a thousand bucks so they could steal.

[CJ]

Like, Wow.

[Jamie]

I don't. And don't quote me on a thousand. But like a certain amount. It was like the dude had taken. Very clearly stolen. Nothing's gonna happen to him. He does it every week.

[Ken]

But in fiscal year 2022, they did 572.8 billion.

[Ben]

Wow.

[Jamie]

So how much was stolen? Just a billion.

[Ryan]

0.5% of the revenue.

[Jamie]

That's not even a 1%.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's.

[CJ]

Yeah, it's like 1% of 1% marginal.

[Ryan]

Sorry, sorry.

[Jamie]

Not even a full percent.

[CJ]

That's.

[Jamie]

That's very marginal.

[Ken]

That's a lot still. That's a ton.

[Jamie]

Yeah, it's a lot. Ton of stuff, but yeah, No, I don't. I believe it. Never even seen that ever.

[Ryan]

A billion dollars, like, it would fill.

[Ben]

Up like an arena of just stuff.

[Jamie]

Yeah, I mean, the bigger you get, that's just part of it.

[Ben]

But I've been like, creating a folder on Instagram like, of crazy videos, but, like, actually crazy videos. You know, people getting smoked at the. A bunch of just crazy shit.

[Jamie]

This too is West Coast. People getting hit by cars.

[Ben]

Yeah. I mean, not. Not. It's. It's not a folder of people just getting hit by cars or smoke.

[Jamie]

He watches every night before he goes.

[Ben]

To bed, as you will. Yeah, I go through all 24 videos every night.

[Jamie]

Okay. Okay, what.

[Ryan]

What's your folder here?

[Ben]

It's just crazy videos.

[Ryan]

There is a lot of explicit.

[Ben]

Yeah, obviously.

[Ryan]

Okay, where are you going with this?

[Ben]

I'm just wondering if you guys want me to show them to you.

[Ryan]

Oh, can we?

[CJ]

I feel like this is when you're young and you used to search on YouTube like crazy videos before there was.

[Ben]

I promise you these will not be what you'd find.

[CJ]

Crazy videos.

[Ben]

Dude, they are. I promise you. If this happened to you, you go, that was crazy.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God. Straight into the top floor patio door.

[Ben]

And exploded probably in their living room. Like, can you imagine that happening to you? Like, it could have started the entire.

[Ryan]

Building on fire, let alone really hurt someone.

[CJ]

Yeah, I don't. I. I hate to be this guy. I don't think it's real.

[Ben]

Really? Ah, yeah, it could be.

[Jamie]

How do you not think this is real?

[CJ]

It's too far away.

[Ben]

It just seems like too. All right.

[Jamie]

That seems real to me.

[Ben]

Like, can you imagine doing that on whatever kind of tractor that is? He's just like, yeah, I can finesse bounce it back.

[Jamie]

You only have 4, 300 likes. Don't you have a tractor? I do have a track.

[Ben]

Oh, dude, Mark, you couldn't do that.

[Jamie]

Mark, you're a farm boy.

[Ryan]

Mark.

[Jamie]

[CJ]

God damn.

[Ben]

Dude got absolutely.

[CJ]

I love the caption. If your tore up, I'm gonna stay away.

[Jamie]

Come on, Mike.

[Ryan]

Dude, the car meets when you just. Oh, did he just run over his leg?

[Ben]

Yeah. And then look at him just like kind of like walk away. All right, I'll restart it.

[Jamie]

And dude, I saw front wheel drive. Oh, hold up. That guy might have a broken.

[CJ]

Dude, so many people get run over by cars and are fine.

[Ben]

Hold on.

[Ryan]

I know he got run over by.

[CJ]

A Chevy HHR or whatever the that is.

[Jamie]

He broke his back or his neck.

[Ben]

Oh, he's back down.

[Jamie]

Yeah, he broke his back or his neck.

[Ryan]

Oh, his face. Dude, his face is.

[Jamie]

No, he broke his back or his neck. 100. Do you see the way he bended? Oh, like collarbone.

[Ben]

Yeah, he's got out of there though.

[Jamie]

His collarbone, something.

[Ben]

There's so many good ones.

[Ryan]

These, dude.

[Jamie]

Oh, this is. This is the best one.

[Ben]

That's the pants one.

[Jamie]

Let's give them dude look.

[CJ]

He looks up at the guy and the guy on the left is filming him right there. And he's like, oh.

[Ryan]

Boxers. Is that like a southern thing to do? These car meetups and donuts.

[Jamie]

Oh, my God. Evan thought that was funny.

[Ben]

Bike in half.

[CJ]

Dude. I was just telling Vast to watch out, not do this on our scooter. Oh, right in front of the cop.

[Ryan]

Oh, dude.

[Jamie]

Buddy slid on his face.

[CJ]

Dude, he had the green light too. That cop was running a red light. You're trying to warn him.

[Jamie]

Oh, my gosh. Banshee.

[Ryan]

Go figure. Oh, dude.

[CJ]

There's been so many times late at night we've been.

[Jamie]

But I told you.

[CJ]

There's been so many times late at night, we'll be buzzing home down the trail after like a long day, snowmobiling in the mountains, and we'll be just ripping like 75 dark whooped out trail. And there'll just be a corner that comes out of nowhere. And I've almost done that. And I always go, man, that really, really suck right now. Yeah.

[Ben]

Pile drive into a bunch of trees at the end of the day. Yeah, this is a.

[Jamie]

This.

[Ben]

I will end on this one. It's a four wheeler clip that most of you should have seen if you're into what a power sports. But this dude bounces this utility four wheeler.

[Ryan]

Oh, wait.

[Jamie]

Oh.

[Ben]

Oh.

[Jamie]

Does it roll on him?

[Ben]

It kind of does, but actually the dude ends up being all right.

[Jamie]

So you got to be careful with those.

[Ryan]

Those actual four wheelers.

[Jamie]

Not quads, utilities.

[CJ]

Four wheelers.

[Jamie]

Those things roll on you, you're in trouble. I mean, people die all the time.

[Ben]

Especially the.

[Jamie]

The.

[Ben]

It's the going up the hill, thinking.

[Jamie]

You can climb straight back or even sideways.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Collect.

[Ben]

It's like, I only put your bike Mike.

[Ryan]

I know, dude.

[Ben]

He's on the yz.

[Jamie]

Oh, no. And he's got a chick on there. Yeah, I already know it's gonna happen.

[Ben]

And they're having a good time now.

[Jamie]

But this poor girl, what is she doing hanging around this guy? Oh, my God.

[Ben]

But yeah, like right now he's kind of shredding.

[Jamie]

Well, clearly he knows.

[CJ]

Oh, I hate that you say right now.

[Ben]

So then they switch positions. She hops on the back. No, he's going crazy right now.

[Ryan]

He's doing the Evan, arm swing.

[Jamie]

Oh, my gosh.

[CJ]

She have her feet on the pegs. Oh, my gosh.

[Ryan]

Okay, honestly, this is insanely impressive.

[Ben]

Wait, maybe they don't crash. And I just saved it because I was really impressed.

[Jamie]

This is gonna be Mike and Sydney.

[CJ]

I was gonna say they'd be really dumb to post all this and not post.

[Jamie]

Agree. Dude, he's Same bike and everything.

[Ben]

Absolutely throwing down right now.

[Jamie]

Man, this chick has got bigger balls than him. I wouldn't want to ride on the back of that thing.

[Ryan]

Must really like this guy.

[Ben]

Well, it's whenever I think of a ride or die that I just always think of that. It's like, not that, you know, everyone wants a ride or die, but like, whatever that is. That's right.

[Jamie]

I would.

[Ryan]

I wouldn't. I wouldn't even.

[Jamie]

I wouldn't even expect anyone to do that with me.

[Ben]

Dude, can we get the bowling sound on that?

[Jamie]

Oh, gosh. How do people keep getting hit at these car meets? How do you show up at a street?

[Ryan]

They just keep happening.

[Jamie]

Yeah, I know, but how do. How are you so dumb? You're like, I'm gonna stand this close to this random amateur dude who just bought a charger last week, literally.

[Ben]

We should do like a psa, like T shirt or, you know, some fundraiser. Stop getting hit at car meets or whatever.

[Jamie]

What are those a psa?

[CJ]

Street takeovers.

[Ben]

Street takeover slideshow.

[Jamie]

I do want to go to one though.

[Ryan]

I'm not gonna lie.

[CJ]

It'd be so fun.

[Ryan]

Is that. Is that like a southern thing?

[CJ]

I think it's more of a big city thing. I think away with it. Yeah. But yeah, I think southern. Wherever a bunch of dudes have stolen hellcats seems to be a common theme.

[Ryan]

It is always the hellcats. You always see a hellcat doing it. I think it.

[CJ]

I think it's because you can buy like a 70,000 or 170,000 mile Hellcat with a salvage title for like 35 grand.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

So it's like true. How can you not?

[Jamie]

It's also kind of like the gangster car. Like if you look at like the. The hood wrappers, they're all ripping around in hellcats. It doesn't matter if it's a charger. It's mostly challenger. Mostly.

[Ryan]

Most of the time it's a. It's a charger. It's a four door. When you see somebody that gets in donut ring like that, it's always usually the hellcat charger, but it's like the.

[Jamie]

Neighborhood star drug dealer. They all like, that's when they feel like they, I don't know.

[CJ]

That's where you got it. When you got that.

[Jamie]

It seems like, it seems like that's how it is. And it also seems to be that's how it is because of the way they talk about it in the rap songs. But I, I, I'd say we've probably gone long enough today, wouldn't you guys? Yes, sir.

[CJ]

We've gone deep enough.

[Jamie]

It was a good chat. It was a good one. Yeah, this was fun.

[Ben]

Subscribe if you're not already. Drop a, like, comment, whatever you want.

[Jamie]

We're trying to get to 150 thousand.

[Ben]

Subscribers grinding for it.

[Jamie]

And we're also trying to hit 2 million subscribers on YouTube for SeattleTV, so our main channel. And we will see you guys next week.

[CJ]

Peace.
