Transcript

We would never stage something like that.

[Gavin]

I felt fine, but I was nervous. Holy crap, you guys got me going.

[CJ]

God, I said so many dumb things on this podcast.

[Mike]

It'd be hilarious if this cat wins ten grand.

[CJ]

Mike's cat is the. What is it?

[Mike]

Yeah. America's favorite pet.

[CJ]

You're either the guy that calls the cops or the guy that actually does something about it. You can't be bothered.

[Ryan]

[Ryan]

[CJ]

Well, have you guys gotten any papers served to you yet?

[Dalton]

All for trespassing?

[CJ]

Well, he said he was gonna sue us, I guess. Just Dalton.

[Ryan]

Just Dalton.

[CJ]

Dalton more specific.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think we're in the clear.

[Dalton]

Oh, good.

[CJ]

Yeah, because Dalton was the one pointing the camera at him.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I was. So. I was actually thinking about that this morning. Cj so what's that look like? Somebody has to serve if you better get a lawyer.

[CJ]

That's what it sounds like.

[Ryan]

You're getting sued. Somebody has to serve papers.

[Dalton]

Can't they do it, like, really creatively? Like, I feel like they normally don't just, like, knock on your door. Like, you think it's like somebody delivering flowers or something like that. And then they hand you the thing, go, you've been served, dude.

[Ryan]

Talk just a switch up. Like you think somebody's giving you something good, and then you get served with papers.

[CJ]

Dalton's got flowers coming to his house.

[Mike]

Let's say, what's the least amount of money that you can sue someone for it? I'm not saying sue someone over, but, like, if I wanted to sue cj, what would it cost me out of pocket? Minimum.

[CJ]

It could drain. Like, if I went and got a lawyer.

[Mike]

Right.

[CJ]

The lawyers could just run up a bill over the course of two years, three years. Like, it could just never settle. And then you'd end up just, you know, throwing the money and time.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

And it just. The only real winner would be the lawyers.

[Ryan]

It's like all legal jargon, too, where, like, you hop on the phone with them and then they explain to you in legal terms what you're being like, what's going on?

[Mike]

And they.

[Ryan]

They would basically just, like in legal terms, do a 45 minute spiel about how they're not. They're suing you for anything and you're just.

[CJ]

You just hang more confused than ever.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but. But you, you know, you want to get ahead of it in case they do think of something. Right. You know, so that's what. What we're here for.

[CJ]

So it's a good thing you called me. Actually. It's a real good thing you called me. That's what they'll say. But. So if you guys aren't familiar with what we're talking about, our neighbor threatened to sue Dalton.

[Dalton]

Actually, better not.

[CJ]

I mean, really, just Dalton's the only one that's in that should be worried. Dalton, he just here trying to do his job, gets sued.

[Ryan]

I don't know exactly what it.

[CJ]

Before pointing the camera at him.

[Ryan]

Point the camera at him.

[CJ]

It's not actually against the law, which I think soda.

[Ryan]

It is crazy.

[CJ]

And we blurred his face.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we did blur his face, but yeah, it's. What? One. There has to be one side of consent in Minnesota when there's a camera involved. So, like, if it was secretive filming, like if Ken was filming us right now with like, meta glasses on and. Or let me. Actually, this will make more sense. If Mike was filming us right now with his meta glasses on and didn't tell us, and then we said, you know something that we shouldn't have, and Mike posted it.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Live stream.

[Ryan]

Live stream.

[Dalton]

He knew.

[CJ]

He knew we were filming.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

That's why I said, put the camera down or I'm gonna sue you or punch your teeth out.

[Mike]

But moral of the story, we were all pretty surprised to see the comments that maybe thought it was fake.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Because we wouldn't.

[Dalton]

Yeah, that's for one.

[Mike]

We would never stage something like that. That would be so beyond cheat.

[CJ]

And then the cops came, like, the real cops.

[Ryan]

I think that's super illegal.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So there's that. But moral of the Story is we were. We were riding on our neighbor's land a little bit, and boy, did he come out 11 out of 10 mad, swearing up a storm, so, so angry that we thought he was joking at first, which didn't help the situation.

[Ryan]

He was, you keep grinning, I'm gonna knock your teeth out.

[Mike]

I'm not, again, trying to correct you, but it was really interesting how he threatened without actually legal. Like. Like it wasn't a legally binding threat. Yeah, he's like, if you keep smirking, you ain't gonna have any teeth left, which is. I think I'm gonna use that line. Not actually, but it's a good line.

[Dalton]

I gotta. I gotta give him credit. Way he premeditated that.

[Ryan]

He was like.

[Dalton]

I can't say a threat. He just. He just got lucky on his wording.

[Ryan]

Well, I mean, you know that guy's a psychopath when he's. He's good at, like, dancing around the laws of threatening people.

[CJ]

I think he just got lucky. You should have just been like, do it. And then he wouldn't have done. Like, you can't threaten to assault somebody and then call the cops. That's like two opposite ends of the spectrum. Like, you're either. You're either the guy that calls the cops or the guy that actually does something about it. You can't be bothered. So he kind of showed he's just the guy who calls the cops. And it was just. It was just weak. But I would be worried because that guy seems like a psycho. I'd be more worried about him shooting you.

[Ryan]

That's what I was worried about. Like, he's trying to dsk. So he was so mad. If I would have, like, fought it with fire at all. Yeah, it would have just escalated it. But I thought about. I thought about being like, I know this is going to help nothing, but you need to relax. You need to chill out here.

[Dalton]

That would have went well.

[CJ]

We're leaving. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What the fuck? He just keep going.

[Ryan]

He just kept going. And I apologized like, five times and was like, dude, we get off my property. Yeah, we're leaving mostly on ours. And 2. Didn't think it was that big of a deal. Thought we were chill. Guess not. And yeah, the dude was not going to back down.

[CJ]

It is interesting, too, because he's actually a renter. So, like, is it actually his property, like. Or would it be more so the guy who owns it?

[Dalton]

I need a renter like that, bro that cares.

[CJ]

I mean, I understand it doesn't Matter whether he owns or rents it. Like, we shouldn't have been on his. His snow, basically. And, like, I feel. I feel like part of the reason why we even kind of circled over there, Obviously we were hitting that snow drift, which was on our land. But there's something about when there's snow covering the ground in cormorant, it gives you. It's a little different than if it was just grass.

[Ryan]

Like, you would never.

[CJ]

You would never circle the dirt bike or a quad on his grass. But something about it being snow. Part of the trails around here, you have to go across people's driveways, like, kind of through their front lawns. And. Yeah, we weren't trying to cause any damage at all.

[Ryan]

And I mean, we weren't.

[CJ]

And we didn't.

[Ryan]

And we didn't.

[CJ]

We didn't at all. But, yeah, I. You don't want to have a beef with your neighbor.

[Dalton]

Yeah. Of all people. Someone that you see every day?

[CJ]

Pretty much, yeah.

[Mike]

It's just so, so weird you say that, though, because I've never seen the dude in my life. I've actually never laid eyes on that crazy man in all four years of him living there.

[Dalton]

Yeah, I've seen activity in the yard. I should say.

[CJ]

I had never met him either, but, you guys, someone had met him when they were riding dirt bikes and I guess, like, him and his grandkids or. I didn't really get the story straight. Or maybe it was like the. The mom or the wife. Yeah, no, I just came and watched or something.

[Ryan]

No, so we were. We were working on the track. We were doing something over there, like, on the land, and I just saw, like, cars out front of their house, and I was just like, it seems like a good time to go and, like, introduce myself and, like, get ahead of any problems of, like, hey, if, you know, you got any complaints or.

[Dalton]

Issues, like, call us, not the cops.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'm trying to just be a good neighbor and be like, hey, you know, this is what we're doing, but we're trying to be respectful of obviously, like, when it gets dark out or late and not be noisy. Not be noisy. And. Yeah, so I went over there and was just, you know, introduced myself and his, like, wife and must have been kids or daughter, whatever. Grandkids. Yeah, they were all like, oh, we. We love it. Like, all our kids are fans. Like, it's all. It's good entertainment or something like that.

[CJ]

Okay.

[Ryan]

So I thought it was. I thought it was chill. And that was, like, kind of the only. Only interaction that we'd ever had.

[CJ]

And if you would have just came over nice and be like, hey, like, you know, whatever.

[Dalton]

Even sternly.

[CJ]

I'm so sorry. You know, we didn't. And we. Either way, we said, I'm sorry, you know, like.

[Ryan]

Well, yeah. Because we.

[CJ]

Misunderstanding.

[Ryan]

This is a nice guy. Let's now you actually have like a. Yeah. You know, face to the neighbor or even like, like.

[CJ]

So at the end, we went and moved the Ken van and the smart car because we were kind of standing over there and we realized, like, I mean, it's kind of in their sight. Let's be good neighbors and move this junk, you know, even. And. And let's just say before this whole interaction, this crazy blow up, if they would have just been like, hey, do you guys think you could move. It's like kind of in our. We would have moved it right down in there. Because we're not trying to be bad neighbors. We're not trying to. That's not the thing. But then it's like he comes and he blows up on us, calls the fucking cops, which was. I mean, you know, the cops were like, I mean, yeah, you guys can't go on the land. And it seems like, you know what you did. So what? Like, just don't do that again. And then, you know, obviously at that point, we're kind of like, now we got a little bit of a beef. But also, I'd be cool with squashing, like, if he came over and was like, I'm sorry. I'd be like, dude, it's all good. Like, could it be like. He could be. He could even be like, I was having a bad day and. And you know, I. I would say, hey, but, you know, we were on your land and I. I get it. At the same time, he blew up so much that it then gave us the right to put a little fun. Poke a little fun at him with the. With the sign.

[Ryan]

How mad do you think that sign made him?

[CJ]

I mean, it's gotta. We moved the sign. Now. It was only up for like a day. A day or two. But, like, I would truly hate to, like, cause him to be mad every morning when he has to get up and drive and has to see this.

[Dalton]

Sign that reminds me go about his.

[CJ]

Life, you know, like, it's not really what I'm trying to do. So.

[Dalton]

Yeah. And if the family is fans, I feel for them too. Like, you know, whether it was a bad day, whether he's always like, that sucks to, you know.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

I mean, beyond that end of it.

[CJ]

There'S one thing for sure. We're never going to step foot on his snow again.

[Ryan]

Or. He got that. He got that across.

[CJ]

Like, we fully know better now.

[Mike]

I don't even think I'm going to look at it. Yeah.

[Dalton]

Looking that way, I don't even want to smell.

[Ryan]

You don't even want to be downwind from it.

[Mike]

I know we've mentioned this before, but his. His property is sandwiched between our shop, pit bike track in our main track.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I mean, both sides.

[CJ]

Maybe we could build, like a wall along the edge, but then make the wall pretty so, like, we paint it as if we were never there. There's no motocross track. The sun shining, and, like, you know, it's like this blue and. Really?

[Ryan]

Yeah. You were looking through it.

[CJ]

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So then it's like. And then the wall is tall enough where sound doesn't get past, like, an interstate barrier. Yeah. So it's like, just like that. But then we paint the insides to make it pretty for them.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I wonder what they like.

[CJ]

A dark dome.

[Ryan]

I wonder if we can get that off of, like, a government auction, Some interstate.

[Ken]

Maybe, like, make him pay for it, too.

[CJ]

And a bad neighbor. Ken, now you're being a bad neighbor.

[Dalton]

Have you seen where the guy, his HOA got mad at him for having a boat in his driveway, so he put up a fence, covered the boat, and then painted the boat on the fence. So you just see the top of the boat and then the rest of the fence is painted with the rest of the boat on the trailer.

[Ryan]

No.

[CJ]

You can have a fence, but you can't have a boat.

[Dalton]

Yes.

[CJ]

That's funny.

[Dalton]

You can't see your boat from the street, apparently.

[Mike]

I've seen pages like that. Just HOA owners getting owned.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, It's a classic hoa. But, you know, they say you can choose a lot of things in life, but you can't pick your neighbors or your family or the people that marry into your family.

[Dalton]

Sometimes you get lucky, though. You know, it's not all bad.

[Mike]

It's not all bad.

[Ryan]

It is.

[Mike]

And you can't pick your family either. You know, that's true. Like, what if they're weird?

[Ryan]

Your family?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I feel like everyone's got, like, weird family in some way.

[Mike]

I agree. I think it'd be weird if you didn't have.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think that's the thing. It's like, more weird to have, like, a totally normal kind of boring, too.

[CJ]

If you had, like a Super not weird family.

[Ryan]

I mean, depends how weird they are.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

I feel like there's fun weird and weird weird. You know, like, you want. You guys have a fun, weird family.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

You got a lot of things going on over there that are very unique, but they're all good and fun. You guys have a great time.

[Ryan]

We do. We do.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I mean, our. Our family is definitely, definitely unique. Like, our Thanksgivings and Christmas gatherings are really entertaining.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Grandparents a large reason of that. But yeah. I feel like if you have, like, beef, like siblings, why is it when you get older, like, siblings just, like, start to beef? Is it because, like.

[Mike]

But when you say older, like, what age are we talking?

[Ryan]

I don't know. I feel like it's just like, so common for, like. I feel like siblings to have, like, problems.

[Mike]

For me, it was like, you know, let's say 10 years old until 16. We just for no reason. And then I turned, let's say 18. And I'm like, huh, what were. Why do we even dislike each other?

[Ryan]

No, I feel like it's like when they're like, 50.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And like, like they're like, more set in their ways, I feel like. And like, I think politics is probably a big reason.

[CJ]

I agree with that.

[Ryan]

And I don't know, I mean, you just see irritants and money.

[CJ]

I think at that you start, like, getting there. It's like, okay, like, eventually we're going to be inheriting this, and it's like, well, it's not fair if he gets that and that. And, you know, like, I think that drives a lot of families apart. And like, that happens to a lot of people in the area. Whereas, like, their parents bought this little lake house in 1970 for $15,000, and now it's worth $2 million. And the family is, you know, fighting stuff like that. They.

[Mike]

Yeah. When they can't decide what to do.

[CJ]

And then they're like, well, I get. This weekend, you get that. And then it just that. But you're. You're not taking care of as much as me. And like, that happens all the time.

[Dalton]

It's just easy for it to get messy.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Like when it's. Or like when my grandpa passed, he has three kids, so my dad's went to me and my sister. The other third went to his daughter. The other third went to his son. Like, they have. They could not be more opposite in political views, and they don't really get along that well.

[CJ]

Cut it up.

[Mike]

But it was just money, so.

[CJ]

So right.

[Mike]

Versus. Yeah.

[CJ]

I think that's the way to do it, though. But obviously, there's situations where it gets more unique.

[Mike]

I'm just glad none of our parents were like, you need to. You need to be a chiropractor, and if you're not, we're going to be sad and disappointed.

[CJ]

Well, they were trying for Ben, but.

[Ryan]

They were well, too.

[CJ]

They realized he's having a lot of trouble just reading, writing, math.

[Ryan]

Let's. Let's. We got realistic here. We got to look in the mirror and be realistic with this one.

[CJ]

Yeah, they started getting them in equipment and stuff, you know, like, shovels. Getting them ready for.

[Ryan]

Yeah, let's see how he does with dirt. Yeah, let's start more.

[CJ]

Started building jumps.

[Dalton]

They're like, okay, we might be on to something here.

[Ryan]

That's a big thing, too, of, like, parent pressure. Like, I see that with, like, friends that parents just, like, kind of pressure them into it.

[Mike]

Fun.

[Ryan]

No, I feel like it always puts.

[CJ]

Them into a worse situation, too, because, like, they pressure them, and then they end up, like, kind of going into something that they're just trying to, you know, make their parents happy or whatever, and they end up going to something that's maybe not right for them. And then it's like, no, you know, they kind of like, you take that road, and once you get far enough down the road, you're kind of. I mean, you. Obviously, you can always change and, like. But it's like, to go back versus if they would have just kind of let them figure it out at age 20, you know?

[Dalton]

Yeah. I think we were all super lucky to have, like, supportive. Like, they all at least let it happen. They maybe gave us some guidance.

[Mike]

Exactly.

[Dalton]

Which maybe some of it we should have listened to. They were. When we were young, and they're like, maybe you guys could swear a little less. We're like, no, we're gonna keep swearing. We're gonna swear more, Ma. And maybe looking back, you know, maybe they were right about a couple things, but I think them letting us figure it out as we went was.

[CJ]

Was good because they could have easily put a kibosh to all this and been like. I mean, not really, though. At the same time, like, I guess. I guess, like, one parent could be like, I don't want you being in the videos. But also, like, I don't know. We just aren't really like that. We've always just kind of done what we wanted. I feel like. Like, I didn't have to ask my parents, like, hey, can I drop out of college? It was like I was already paying for it myself. I just one day went over there, dropped out and you know, pretty soon wasn't going. Oh yeah, no, I don't go to school anymore.

[Dalton]

Did you, did you tell them before or did you drop and tell them?

[CJ]

I mean, they okay. You know, I was kind of that okay. I don't know. Yeah, they, they were like, well, maybe you go back. And I was like, yeah, we'll see.

[Ryan]

I think that, like, everyone listening right now has a friend or can think of somebody who's like. Parents were super, super strict on them maybe in high school, and then as soon as they, like, got off the leash, they just went wild. And then they just turned into just absolute idiots.

[Dalton]

It's so tough because I think you got to, like, balance it. Like, I get. I get being scared, like, what your kid is out doing, and you want to, like, help, but it comes to a point where if you keep the leash too tight, they run away.

[CJ]

Yeah. And I feel like it's situational, though. Some people. Some kids are just so dumb. Like, I mean, we're.

[Dalton]

And also bad friends. We're lucky to have dumb, good friends.

[CJ]

Yeah, we're all.

[Dalton]

We're doing a lot of stuff we shouldn't have been, but we were on the right track, as David has said. Well, these guys aren't doing drugs, as we're, like, crashing things and wrecking his property and whatnot.

[CJ]

Also, though, we never really caused real problems or trouble. Like, we kind of knew how to get around. And, like, yeah, we were doing dumb stuff, but, like, it was like. Like they are somewhat logical at the same time. And like, you know, some people just literally are so dumb. Like, they probably do need the guidance. And maybe those guys should listen to their parents. But, you know, there's a fine line. There really is. Like, you could be so far left, like, doing drugs and shit and that you're way out of it.

[Mike]

You'd always rather. As like a parent or anyone, you'd rather get a call that your kids doing shitties in the parking lot than doing drugs in the park.

[CJ]

For sure.

[Mike]

But I mean, the one thing I would say is, like. And they do always tell you this in school. Parents tell you this. You are who you are with. And so it's like the parents could be really dialed, and they're like, what happened? What happened to our kid? You got to look at their friends. And I'm not saying you can't. You can't just be like, you can't hang out with them. You can hang out with them. You can try. But it's like you almost want the. The kid to realize it. Like, if they're hanging out with shady whatever people, they're gonna be like that to an extent at least.

[CJ]

Also, if you tell someone you can't do this, it just makes them want to do it more. But a lot of times, speaking of the shitties in the parking lot. Imagine when we have kids, like, like they're gonna be doing shit like that for sure. Because I'm sure they'll be able to go back and watch the videos. Or who knows, we'll probably still be making videos.

[Dalton]

They'll be like, look, it worked for you.

[CJ]

Making videos when they're driving. I mean, 16 years, so. But yeah, you're going to have to be like, you can't do that. Like, you know, yeah, it's going to.

[Dalton]

Be tough because I understand why you.

[CJ]

Did it, but, like, you can't do it there. You got to do it in better spots. Spots where you're not going to get caught.

[Ryan]

I think that is, like, just part of parenting, though, where you just try and teach your kid to not be a fucking idiot.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like you said, like, some kids are just so stupid.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like, maybe focus less on, like. Like be such a strict. Tell them what to do and. Telling them what to do. Yeah.

[CJ]

How to navigate.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, that's much more important. Like making them, I guess, smarter, street smarter, Think straight.

[Dalton]

It's funny, you can tell that kids are on our brain now that Justin and Megan had the baby. I'll let them. He can be the one to debut that to the world. I don't think he has yet, but, I mean, he did.

[Ryan]

He posted about it this morning.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

But yeah, it's funny. You can tell we're all thinking about the future and stuff like that. Have you guys seen those videos like Mr. Beast does where he says, like, hi, me in five years and hi, me in 10 years? I feel like we should do one of those.

[CJ]

Yeah, I'd love to think.

[Dalton]

I think about that a lot today with things that we do year by year. Even the way that we just talked about parenting. But none of us are parents. We don't know.

[CJ]

Right.

[Ryan]

We.

[Dalton]

We have an idea of what we think's good. But, like, it'd be really interesting. It will be really interesting when we have a 10 year old and we're going back and you could come back and listen to this moment. Be like, fuck, did we think we knew it all. We don't know anything.

[Ryan]

That's why I think about that too. Of like, God, I should really just say less because I'm going to look back in the future and just be like, man, you were dumb.

[Dalton]

Yeah, but I think that's part of. Part of growing, I guess.

[CJ]

And also, like, I think that too. I'm like, God, I said so many dumb things on this podcast. And, like, things I don't really agree with now that I said three years ago or whatever. But also that's just kind of part of. Of growing and then also having to be in the public eye, like us, you know, like, like, it's our job to do this, and like, you're going to change with time and then not agree with certain things. But you can't hold something to me. I said two years ago, like, don't hold me to it, because it's like.

[Ryan]

Thinking out loud a lot of times. Like, you. We're kind of working out, like, on this podcast what we're thinking, and maybe we haven't worked it through entirely before going public with it yet, or it.

[CJ]

Hasn'T played out enough, where now it's like, okay, part of the beauty of it. I don't want to do that.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So, I mean, for a lot of people, you know, you might be saying, but you're saying it to your closest homies, and it really doesn't go much farther than that. And they can't really hold you to it because there wasn't like, video evidence of, like, didn't you say this? But on this, it's like, no, you said this. And to be exact, you said it word for word, like this.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Back to you.

[Mike]

I think about that, like, as someone who does, you know, we do it so we. We know that it's on there forever. But I don't think about it like that. I. I hate to call the podcast disposable because it's not that I want what we say to have value and to last and be worth listening to two years. But I also completely agree, like, not just for us, for anyone. If you said it five years ago, I'm not going to hold you to that.

[CJ]

You grow, you change, but, like, learn.

[Mike]

I would say most people do. I mean, they'll, like, you've seen it. They're like, yeah, we. They said that. That was eight years ago. They said that we can still cancel them.

[CJ]

I mean, some stuff, though, like, you can hold, like, some stuff holds up. Like, some stuff that we said two years ago was really good and other stuff not. So, like, it's. It's a subjective matter.

[Ryan]

Ryan, when you say, like, making a video for ourselves in the future, I think about even a week ago.

[Dalton]

Oh, yeah, dude.

[Ryan]

If I were to, like, look back on a video a week ago, I might have been in a much better mood, a better state of mind. A lot of things have happened in the last seven days that hadn't happened at that point. And be like, you know, this is what's going on right now. And you can put it into perspective of like, oh, you were, like, really happy. That was before, like, all these things.

[Dalton]

The bad thing or the good.

[Ryan]

But then look at it like, is what happened really matter, like, in the last week, like, in the scale of things? Like, why don't you just go back to having a good attitude or being in a good mood like you were a week ago from that video.

[Dalton]

It's so true. Thinking, like, macro versus micro. I believe that's the term. Like, when you look at events really close, they all seem really big, but you can. And at the end of the year, it's so easy to look back at your year of things that we did, and you go, oh, look at all those cool things. But you forget about all the little bad things do. And then you get at the start of the year, now we only have 60 days to look back on, and you go, all right, look at all the good things. But all those bad things seem like they're still close behind you. And there's all this future out there where you still gotta do the good things, that sometimes it becomes difficult.

[Ryan]

And it's something about like a year end, like just a cap on the top of the marker that is just like, all right, that's that year. There it is. And then you look back at it. But, like, at the beginning of the year, when you're thinking about, like, the future, maybe it seems like you got to do it all over a lot. Scary. I feel. I feel that for sure.

[Mike]

And it is. It's. I think it's unfortunate. The business world trains you to think like that, you know, like a real philosophical person or a nomadic person. They're like, time is just a social, you know, which it is to an extent. But, like, if you don't. If you're not a business owner, then maybe it's a lot easier to think like that, you know?

[Dalton]

What's even with life? Yeah, school, ending, holiday, shit like that. Like, just life has cycles, winter.

[Mike]

It's hilarious. We, like, think now in, like, Q1, Q2. All right, what's our Q3 looking like?

[Ryan]

Well, I think we just have, like, so many plans. Like, we have to be, like, planned.

[Mike]

Well, that too.

[Ryan]

But what we're doing for the next six months, just because of, like, our schedule. Right?

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Sometimes it feels so, like, monotonous. Monotonous, Is that the word? Like, when we're sitting here looking like, okay, so for Q3 and then the end of the year, this Year. Like, I'm like, geez Louise. Then we're already at the beginning, and we're doing this all over again. Like, it's just gets to be, like, a lot of. Feels like it never ends on the hamster wheel. Yeah, it's just like this hamster wheel of, like, different things, but, like, the same grind almost.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So, Ryan, I guess going back to, like, the video aspect of it, like, looking back at it, like, if you were having a bad day and you look back and you're like, oh, man, you were pretty miserable back then, but it was maybe just a bad.

[Dalton]

Just one day.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Yeah, I think about that a lot. That was like, my New Year's resolution was trying to enjoy when CJ Said about, like, oh, yeah, it seems like you just skipped through all these things. So try to enjoy the. Enjoy the little moments. Enjoy the little things. God, that's got to be up there on top 10. Lamest. Lamest new Year's resolutions ever. But it was. It was just, like, enjoyed the process of it all. I was thinking about that today, actually. I'm. I'm gonna drive. I'm gonna take my vet out on the road, and it's 20 degrees. The tires aren't supposed to be below 45. There's salt on the road. There's icy patches. Like, by many people's standards, it would be a bad idea.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I. I would go as far to say it's probably a bad idea.

[CJ]

But, yeah, yeah, I'd do it. Dude, if I had a sports car, I would have it out right now.

[Dalton]

And that's what I was thinking. Just, like, looking back on the last time, I feel like I have lived so much trying to not make any mistakes that I kind of missed out on the whole point of it. Like, if I couldn't drive it this summer, if something happened, the road disappeared, or I'd be like, damn, I really wish I would have gotten that moment. It doesn't mean be an idiot, but I'm like, I should. I should try to make a mistake. That's okay.

[CJ]

You can drive that thing with the salt, with rain, with a little bit of gravel, it's not going to cause that much damage, and the next guy won't care and won't even notice.

[Dalton]

I ain't gonna tell him.

[CJ]

Well, they just won't.

[Ryan]

I mean, it makes no difference, dude.

[CJ]

Like, mostly, like, supercars, too. People don't even look at them before they buy them. They call. Like, you can kind of just tell. And they just. I think when you guys that buy these things, don't really even test drive or anything, Decide they want it, and they have it at their house a week later after they wired the cash.

[Dalton]

I was telling dalton that I said, it's way harder to sell your subaru Than it is to sell a Ben's Lamborghini. I go, ben's lamborghini? The guy just wired the money, and it showed up at his door.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Every guy going, yeah.

[Dalton]

Oh, my gosh. Well, this. There's a boost tube. Isn't the same color as the other one?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Slightly faded red. What's up with that? You know?

[Mike]

And they're like, can you. Can you take off two grand?

[Dalton]

Which is a large percentage of the price.

[Mike]

Exactly. Dude. I have a love hate relationship with that, too. Because we were out in the field the other day. I got my broncos stuck pulling that trailer, pulling the sorry sign out there. And then I was like, well, it's already dirty now. Might as well just go hoon it. And I'm hauling ass through the puddle, Just having the time of my life. But then I get back to the shop. The power wash sucks. Whatever. Everyone knows about that. The. The fender is, like, half off. I had to, like, pop that back on. Yeah, The. The carbon fiber thing I put on has, like, three cracks in it. I don't know. That sucks. But then I'm just like, why'd I do that? Because when I was doing it, I was like, I'm not even hurting this thing one bit. I'm having fun.

[CJ]

Yeah. That is pretty wild.

[Mike]

Regretted. Yeah.

[Dalton]

Well, it's because we were hitting that puddle at, like, 60 miles an hour. Like, we were ripping into it. So, like, the water just pushed your fender.

[Mike]

I never saw that.

[CJ]

I didn't. I didn't.

[Dalton]

Yeah. Play it. It was. It was freaking fun.

[Mike]

Pretty epic, actually.

[Dalton]

I took mine down because I'm gonna try to lemon my hummer. So I took it off.

[Mike]

I was wondering what happened there.

[Ken]

I just never posted mine because that was a rental car and don't want anyone seeing that.

[Ryan]

Dude, I forgot to change a heart, Ken.

[Ken]

Yeah, I still did it, but it's not like I'm gonna publicly, like, oh, look what I did with this rental car.

[CJ]

Aren't you were the rental abuser.

[Dalton]

Yeah. Aren't you on record saying the fastest car is a rental car?

[Ken]

It is. It always is.

[Dalton]

That was actually.

[Mike]

We were hauling.

[CJ]

We really were going fast.

[Ken]

Mike, you hit that, like, pro. Like, Ryan was absolutely cooking when he did that. And you were.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

It's just as fast if not fast.

[Mike]

Maybe a little too fast.

[Ryan]

Can I feel like we didn't take advantage of you having your rental cyber truck.

[Mike]

He was whipping it a little, but that's so sweet.

[Dalton]

These are the best. These are the best shots I've seen of it.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Ice blew into it.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

So much velocity.

[Mike]

Ryan was. Yeah, it was super fun, but, you know, stuff like that.

[Dalton]

I should have hit it over there, but it was tough because those cars were in the middle.

[Mike]

Good times.

[Ryan]

Was Dalton doing it in my raptor?

[Mike]

No. Yeah, actually, he was pretty courteous. I said, dude, like, Dalton, let's go. It's so fun. Rip it. And he's like. He, like, laughs at me. He's like, I'm not ripping my boss's truck through the puddle.

[Dalton]

One of the guys here has a brain cell.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Just idled through it.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Mike]

He didn't do anything.

[CJ]

He is considered. When he drives any of our vehicles, like, you know, it's in good hands.

[Ryan]

I guess I asked because he spent, like, three hours cleaning my truck that night. I didn't. I didn't ask him to. That's what I thought was like.

[CJ]

He just likes doing.

[Ryan]

So I was like, what. What are you hiding from me right now?

[Mike]

Right. So I said the same thing. He's, like, detailing the crap out of it. I'm like, at this rate, you should have taken it through the puddle.

[Ryan]

That's what I thought. And not that he was, like, hooning it.

[Dalton]

It was out and about there. But I mean, no, he wasn't.

[Mike]

It wasn't even.

[Dalton]

I don't think he went over 10 miles an hour.

[CJ]

Wouldn't have been the first time someone around here beat.

[Ryan]

Yup.

[CJ]

The shit out of your. Your bike.

[Ryan]

It really is. My raptor's. Kind of just been. Just hoed around, honestly.

[Dalton]

Hold around.

[Mike]

Yeah. I mean, Ken.

[Ken]

Well, I mean, it was my raptor last year, and now it's your raptor. So kind of just like, kind of gets passed around a little bit.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

One of our guys, one of our warehouse guys is driving it right now. He's like, oh, yeah. Delivering furniture for one of his buddies.

[CJ]

Everyone just in that thing. I need a truck.

[Mike]

The worst. Worst driver.

[Ryan]

Yeah. After two weeks ago, he put it in the ditch. Oh, really? Yeah.

[CJ]

How do you fucking put the thing in the ditch?

[Ryan]

That's a good question. I think he was on his phone.

[Mike]

It was.

[CJ]

When you're on your phone, how do you manage to put it in the ditch?

[Ken]

I don't unintentionally swerve in there.

[CJ]

That's pretty dangerous, dude. Yeah, you should not be on your phone driving.

[Dalton]

Yeah, you should be on your fidget spinners.

[Ryan]

You should be on your exactly right, Ryan.

[CJ]

Spin it.

[Dalton]

Didn't even have an urge to grab a phone. If you're bad at texting and driving, just get a fidget spinner.

[Dalton]

And not bad at the skill. Bad at doing it.

[Ryan]

Bad at doing it right.

[Dalton]

But maybe if you're bad at it as well, you should do it.

[CJ]

We should.

[Ryan]

Can we get fidget spinners? Can we bring them back?

[CJ]

Yeah, I'd like to sell them that.

[Mike]

We could get fidget spinners very easily.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we should do that.

[Mike]

Sick custom one.

[Ryan]

We should do that for sure.

[CJ]

People would buy those for sure.

[Dalton]

Tanner fox make like $20 million off of pop sockets.

[Ryan]

Pop sockets Fidget Spinners.

[CJ]

I don't know.

[Mike]

He made, like, multiple videos alone just on fidget spinners.

[Ryan]

That was such a different time.

[Mike]

Shamelessly watched. Just an air compressor to a fidget spinner until it blows up. Whoa.

[Ryan]

Still pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty good concept. We should sell fidget spinners. Imagine.

[CJ]

Might have missed the train, but I'm so down.

[Ryan]

We just, like. We order. We order, like, 100,000 fidget spinners, and we sell, like, 35 of them. We're like, oh, I thought people were making millions off these things.

[Dalton]

Switch gears a little bit. We have our friend Angela in the audience, and she's here to help us. A little prank that I set up, I put out on our story, our Life Wide Open podcast, Instagram story. And I said, give me your friend's name and number and a reason that we should prank them. And I feel like guys love pranking their friends more than anything in the entire world. We have, like, 100,000 people that follow us over there. 150. I bet we got 5,000 DMs. All I did was just scroll through some of the most appalling pranks that I've ever read in my life. The amount of guys that said, call my buddy and say that his girlfriend is pregnant. Hundreds, would you say?

[Ryan]

Most safety concern for us.

[Mike]

Most of the responses you got, did they give reasons?

[Dalton]

A lot of people gave great reasons.

[Mike]

Yeah, I saw. Got a few that were just like, you should prank call my friend.

[Dalton]

And then I'm like, there were some.

[Mike]

Give me a reason. Mostly because we're all right at improv. You guys are pretty good at it, but having the reason always, it makes it one way and two. Juicier.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Because you know, something personal about them or something.

[Ryan]

Man, I love this idea, and I love that there's so many savage friends out there. And, like, in our situation, like, we just do these things. Like, we. We just, like, go forward with the actual prank itself. So, like, I'm glad that we're able to be, like, an outlet facilitator. A facilitator for friends that want to be really savage. I think it's a great idea.

[CJ]

Funny.

[Dalton]

Should we prank one of our friends first?

[Ryan]

I think we got to start with Gavin.

[Dalton]

I think we do.

[Ryan]

I think we got to start with Gavin. So we have our friend Angela here. Angela is going to act as if she's working for the North Dakota Department of Health, and she's going to be informing Gavin that he may have contracted an STD from a previous partner.

[CJ]

I think you go with two of them. Gonorrhea and syphilis.

[Angela]

Is that the preference?

[CJ]

I'd say, yeah. That sounds bad.

[Dalton]

Just be like, do whatever your heart desires. Just really get him going. I just feel like Gavin's the best guy to prank because, you know he's gonna be like, oh, oh, no.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you. He wears his emotions on his sleeve, shoulder. One of the two, probably both of them for Gavin. So, yeah, I think he. I think he'll give a pretty good.

[CJ]

Also, he's a single guy, and, like, he spends a lot of time up here, so it is believable. He's gonna be like, oh, I'm ready.

[Dalton]

Okay, we expose him.

[Ryan]

Ready? End it with the.

[Angela]

To my son, quick.

[Ryan]

Also, I. I hate to do this.

[CJ]

Is this. Is this Gavin Carlson from Shred 80?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah. Yes, it is, actually. And, oh, my kids are huge fans. Huge fans. I know this is kind of awkward.

[Ryan]

I mean, weird when she does that. Then put me on and I'll. I'll act as if your son, and then I'll mess with him a little bit. Oh, my God.

[Gavin]

Hello?

[Angela]

Good afternoon. Is this Gavin?

[CJ]

Who's this?

[Angela]

Is this Gavin Carlson? Gavin, my name is Rita, and I work with the Minnesota State Department of Health. Do you have a moment? Say this is an urgent matter. Do you have a moment, Gavin?

[Gavin]

No, sorry, you're breaking up. What is this about?

[Angela]

My name is Rita, and I work with the Minnesota State Department of Health. We are attempting to control the spread of a sexually transmitted disease in our area. Your name has been given to us from several individuals as we've been conducting interviews of sexual activity. I need to ask you a few questions. Can you please inform me of your last 60 days of sexual activity?

[Ken]

He just hung up.

[CJ]

Oh, I think you call him back again and. And say that just one individual, don't say several.

[Angela]

Got it.

[CJ]

But that was really good. That was really good. I think. Call him back. Call him back. He's like, now he's on the run.

[Dalton]

He's on the run.

[Angela]

Gavin. Hi, this is Rita calling back. I must have lost you there. Can you hear me?

[Gavin]

I can hear you.

[Angela]

Wonderful. Do you have a moment so I can ask you a few questions?

[Gavin]

What is this about?

[Angela]

It's a sexually transmitted disease that's spreading in our area, and we've been given your name as someone who's potentially been infected. Okay, So I just need to know a few things. Firstly, what do you need to know? Have you noticed any abnormalities in your genital area as far as lesions, burning while you urinate, itchy irritation, anything like that?

[H]

No.

[Angela]

No. Okay, good. Good. That's good. Have you been with anyone who. Which you share a direct relation with in the last 30 days?

[Gavin]

No.

[CJ]

Okay.

[Angela]

Have you engaged in any fellatio or cunnilingus in the last 30 days in the state of Minnesota?

[Gavin]

No.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Angela]

That does not eliminate you from the propensity to have this disease. We are also working with the Colorado State Department of. May be contacting you as well.

[Gavin]

What's the disease?

[Angela]

It is herpes with potential for. Also gonorrhea. There's several different cases here we're working on. We're just trying to narrow it down right now.

[Gavin]

Okay.

[Angela]

Okay. So just keep your phone on you so that the Colorado State Department of Health can also reach you. And I do have one more question here. This is a little awkward because, you know, the context of the conversation is a little bit uncomfortable, so bear with me here, but is this Gavin Carlson from Shred80?

[Gavin]

No.

[Angela]

Oh, this isn't Three Wheeler. Gavin, is that you? Okay. My son's just a huge fan of his, so I thought if you were him, I wanted you to say hi to him quick. He's at work with me. I'm sorry about that.

[Gavin]

No, it's okay. Sorry. Bye.

[Angela]

Bye.

[CJ]

He couldn't get off the phone quick enough. No, no, no. This is not Gavin. Car from SH80.

[Mike]

That's not me. Okay, bye.

[Dalton]

I feel like we should call him back now on our number.

[CJ]

No, no, let him sit. Let him sit.

[Ken]

He's going to be tweaking.

[Dalton]

Oh, my gosh.

[CJ]

Dude. He's probably like, you know, he's.

[Angela]

He's sweating.

[Dalton]

Calling anybody?

[Mike]

No, that's not me. Pie.

[CJ]

That was so good, Angelo.

[Ryan]

That was so good.

[CJ]

He was trying to play dumb and. No, no. Nope.

[Mike]

You had me convinced.

[Ryan]

That was so good.

[Angela]

I stammered a little. I'm glad.

[CJ]

That was great. That was great. Great. Oh, man. The best part was the.

[Ryan]

Was the.

[CJ]

My son's a fan. No, no, no.

[Dalton]

Oh, you missed.

[Ryan]

Oh, this isn't three wheeler Gavin. No. First time that he's ever not claimed being a three wheeler guy.

[CJ]

Oh, good job, Angela. Good job. That's great.

[Ryan]

Nice.

[Dalton]

I feel like we should call him and just.

[Ryan]

Should I call him and just be like, dude, I just got a call from.

[Dalton]

Oh, man.

[Ryan]

We continue to visit the Department of Health.

[CJ]

I think you say this girl like a girl's name, but we'll just beep it and then it makes it more believable. Yeah, Yeah, I like that.

[Ryan]

I'll text them and just be like, yo, I just got a call. Can I call you for a sec? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll just call him and just be like, yo, I just got a call.

[Angela]

From the Minnesota State Department of Health.

[Ryan]

Should I just say that and then just be like, what was that about? And see if he tells us?

[Dalton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Gavin]

Okay. What the heck, bro? Heck.

[Ryan]

What up?

[Gavin]

Did you just.

[Mike]

What?

[Gavin]

What's up? I just got a weird phone call from freaking some lady in Minnesota. And that was weird. I was. I was actually going to call you and tell you I got a weird call, bro.

[Ryan]

That's. I literally just got the same call and she was asking for your contact. What was that about?

[Gavin]

I don't know. She was just asked like. I didn't even think it was like a real lady. And then she was freaking about sexual STD or something. I don't know. It was weird.

[Ryan]

Regarding what?

[Gavin]

But then just asking if I'd hooked up with anybody in the last 30 days in Minnesota and stuff like that. It was well over two months ago that I hooked up. I used the condom and I felt fine.

[Ryan]

So what'd she say? It was.

[Gavin]

She just asked a couple questions and then she's like, okay. And then she ended it so weird with saying, oh, and then, can I have you just say hi to my son? I was like, these are kind of inappropriate. And then I just hung up after that. She's like, are you three Wheeler Gavin?

[Dalton]

Oh.

[Gavin]

So she just wanted me to say, shut up. Yes.

[Ryan]

What?

[Gavin]

What is right, bro?

[Ryan]

So it was so weird because, yeah.

[Gavin]

I just said no. I just said no. And I didn't say hi to him. I was like, no, I gotta go.

[Ryan]

Oh, that was kind of a dick move.

[Gavin]

What the frig? It was a weird situation, bro.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, she called me and was like, hi. So we've been contacted by someone that, you know, tested positive for. I don't even know what she said. Gonorrhea, maybe. And. Yeah, is that bad?

[Gavin]

I don't think gonorrhea is that bad, but I. Like, I said I used a condom.

[Ryan]

Is it not bad?

[Gavin]

Gonorrhea is bad, but I don't think I have gonorrhea.

[Ryan]

What do you mean you don't think?

[Gavin]

I guarantee I don't. I think I would feel some type of weird way. I think my pee would burn. I felt 100% normal.

[Ryan]

Itchy?

[Gavin]

No itchy at all or it's nothing? Are you playing a prank now?

[Ryan]

I'm just asking. I'm just asking because she just Called me. She called me. It was like somebody tested positive and they had told me that they were, like, hooking up with someone that was coming to film with you. So she had my contact information and I was like, okay. Well, yeah, I mean, it was probably so. She was asking if I could connect her with you.

[Gavin]

Why would she not have already had my number? Like, why would she know my name and stuff? I don't know why. That doesn't make sense.

[Ryan]

I gave it to her, okay? I mean, are you in trouble or what?

[Gavin]

No, why would I be in any trouble? What are you talking about?

[Ryan]

Why you sound so nervous then?

[Gavin]

You're making me nervous. What the freak, dude? You just gave her my number and it didn't even, like, look official or anything. I don't even know why I answered and talked to her.

[Ryan]

What'd she say?

[Gavin]

Okay. It was the stupidest thing ever. What?

[CJ]

Okay, I can't.

[Ryan]

Are you messing with me?

[Dalton]

No.

[Gavin]

Are you messing with me?

[Ryan]

No. Go into depth. Like, what did she say?

[Gavin]

She just said she worked with the Minnesota State Department of Health. So that made her sound official. It was just weird as freak, though.

[Ryan]

Have you got checked lately?

[Gavin]

No.

[Ryan]

What about.

[Gavin]

Are you being dead after you messing with me?

[Ryan]

Well, have you gotten checked? Are you?

[Gavin]

No, I don't ever get. I've never gotten checked. I've always. No.

[Ryan]

Well, that might be a problem, bro. Bro.

[CJ]

For what?

[Gavin]

I told you I used a condom.

[Ryan]

What about that other chick that you were telling me about?

[Gavin]

Dude, blowjobs. What about. I'm not freaking raw dogging chicks, though. I hate you guys.

[CJ]

You guys are all so stupid.

[Gavin]

That's not even fun.

[CJ]

How nervous are you? Gavin.

[Angela]

Gavin, hi, it's me.

[Gavin]

I did not like that. What the hell you guys here?

[Ryan]

Gavin, I got Rita on the phone here.

[Angela]

Gavin, hi, it's me.

[Ryan]

Rita.

[Gavin]

No, I hate that.

[Angela]

I'm gonna ask you to go ahead and pursue the use of Saran Wrap full body and go get tested.

[Ryan]

Gavin, you're an dude. You wouldn't say hi to her, son.

[CJ]

Bro.

[Gavin]

It did not feel like the right circumstances.

[CJ]

Hey.

[Ryan]

Hey, what's up, dude? It's me. Three wheeler, Gav.

[Mike]

Yeah, we said that was the only time you've ever not claimed to be three wheeler gas.

[CJ]

Now you'll be gonorrhea. Gav.

[Gavin]

Dude, I was just watching the new video, literally about to comment and then I got that freaking phone call. Scared the out of me. The new video was beautiful though. I was laughing my ass off.

[CJ]

That was so good.

[Ryan]

Appreciate that.

[CJ]

Your Finland vids Have been awesome too. Or icy.

[Gavin]

You're awesome. You guys are awesome. Oh, my gosh, you guys. What was the point of that? You guys scared the out of me.

[CJ]

How nervous.

[Mike]

That was the point.

[CJ]

How hard was your heart?

[Gavin]

Okay, it's beating really hard right now even, man. You guys got me really good.

[CJ]

That a pretty good rush compared to normal.

[Gavin]

That was a decent one for sure.

[Ryan]

What the hell?

[Gavin]

Especially because it was, like, weird because I was hooking up with a chick last night. So I was like, what the heck is going on?

[CJ]

You're like, I just spread more. What do you think about calling these girls or what?

[Gavin]

I didn't know what to do, man. I. I felt fine, but I was nervous. Holy crap, you guys got me going.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Gavin]

Oh, you guys are awesome.

[Ryan]

Sorry about that, bro. Well, just say hi to the podcast and we'll talk.

[Gavin]

I'll talk to you guys later.

[CJ]

Peace out.

[Ryan]

Go subscribe to Shred80y. Well, that was.

[CJ]

Oh, that was perfect.

[Ryan]

That's so good.

[CJ]

Perfect.

[Ryan]

Well, yeah, but I mean, we're a condom. That was so good. All right, Angela. Thank you. That was amazing.

[CJ]

That was actually you.

[Ryan]

You sounded like a telemarketer.

[CJ]

Yeah, that was perfect. Like, I started having super professional, super professional.

[Mike]

It was almost everybody get tested, especially Gavin. And he said that he never had been. So he probably. Now is the good time as any.

[Ryan]

Now he's going to be like, hyper, analyzing everything to.

[Dalton]

He's gonna go to the bathroom, be like, man, maybe he does pee.

[CJ]

How many times have we pranked that guy?

[Ryan]

So, dude, it's just always good.

[CJ]

It's like taking candy.

[Ryan]

Well, it's like I thought he was on to me and then I just played dumb for like, what, half a second there and then he just fell right back into it.

[Dalton]

Sucked him back in.

[Ryan]

Okay, so we got. Yeah, we got a couple other subscribers that, you know, sent us in messages from their friends. So I think we go ahead and give a couple of them a call here. I think first and foremost, we got to do Camden.

[Dalton]

All right, so the DM I got was from his buddy, and he said that they were in this restaurant called the Taco King, which is apparently their favorite restaurant in town. And he and his girlfriend, Ex girlfriend. Got in a really big fight. And apparently he's been worried he's going to get banned from the Taco King because it was such a big blow up.

[Ryan]

That's a pretty big blowout.

[Mike]

That's what he's worried about.

[Dalton]

Yeah, so what?

[Mike]

I mean, you could be like the manager There.

[CJ]

Or I think we go down the route of, like, you know, this is the. The general manager of the. Of the Taco King that he was at. And, like, you're. We're going to have to ask you. You're. You're banned from the property. And every entity that is owned under the, like, we got to come up with a name like. Like a taco umbrella and say, like, Taco Bell, Taco John's, Taco King, Dell Taco. All those are owned by the same place.

[Ryan]

Tacos RS Holdings.

[CJ]

Yep, something like that. So, like, you're not allowed on any of those properties for a year. And he's like, oh, okay. Yeah. So like, basically any, like, taco place, just stay clear of. And then just. You're going to have to make tacos from home from now on or something like that.

[Dalton]

I love it.

[CJ]

Be kind of funny.

[Dalton]

Do you want to run it?

[CJ]

I kind of want to take the Tinder one.

[Dalton]

Okay.

[Ryan]

I like that.

[CJ]

But I think that's how we do the Taco one. Unless you guys got any ideas?

[Dalton]

No, I love that.

[Ryan]

Sounds good to me. I mean, I'll call them.

[Dalton]

Perfect.

[Ryan]

Is our mic off?

[H]

Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.

[Dalton]

All right, so the next guy we're calling, his name is Ben, and apparently he just downloaded Tinder. He's been going ham on it.

[Ryan]

Okay, so we're gonna swipe in.

[Dalton]

Just swiping away.

[Ryan]

Pretty high success.

[CJ]

Or should I. Or should I go like, you've. You've reached past the swipe right limit?

[Dalton]

No, that just pops up on your screen.

[CJ]

Oh, does it?

[Dalton]

Yeah, no, I. I like what you have. That's creative. I'm calling.

[CJ]

Hello? Hello, is this Ben?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Hey, Ben Connor over at Tinder Data Analytics. How you doing?

[Mike]

Yeah, good, good.

[CJ]

Yeah, say. So we are running some numbers and your account popped up in the 99.9 percentile of swipe rights by female users.

[H]

Oh.

[CJ]

So that's pretty good. That's pretty good, man. So anyways, we're. Basically, we're trying to collect data and information just to help other guys, you know, get some swipe rights and get some chicks, basically. And, you know, my job is. Fuck, is that bad?

[Dalton]

No, I thought you were doing. You're on the right track.

[Ryan]

I thought it was good. Yeah, he just sniffed it up.

[Dalton]

All right, the next one is Sam. Apparently, his friend said that he has a lot of cows and that the cows typically get out of the fence. I thought it was kind of a dick move to call a guy and say that his Cows were out when they aren't actually out. So I think I'm going to try to maybe make it. I'm going to try to push the limits on believability here and see what we can get.

[Ryan]

You doing this one, Ryan?

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

All right, here we go.

[Gavin]

Your call has been forwarded to Voice.

[Dalton]

It's so hard to get someone on the phone these days.

[CJ]

Call my brother. He'd probably fall into it because he's having this whole issue with his truck right now. Because, like, this guy's had his truck for, like, six months, saying he's gonna put this turbo on and he hasn't done anything.

[Ryan]

What?

[CJ]

Yeah, he hasn't done anything. He hasn't been able to get his truck. It's in Wisconsin.

[Dalton]

Oh, no.

[CJ]

Yeah, it's like. It's kind of like almost. I don't know what's going on.

[Ken]

Supposedly he said it's going to be done next week.

[CJ]

Yeah, he's been saying that for months, I think. I don't know if the guys tell.

[Mike]

Him that it's not even close to dying.

[CJ]

Yeah, we could with him, but, like, the problem is that's like a real possibility right now.

[Ken]

Well, I think a couple believe it. Last month or two months ago, he was, like, gonna go down there to try and pick it up, and then they hadn't even touched it yet.

[CJ]

Yeah, that's crazy. What? We could call him and mess with him. Yeah, he'd probably answer.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

What do we say?

[Ryan]

I think you gotta be calling from the shop.

[Mike]

Just need the name from the shop. Or calling on behalf of the shop.

[CJ]

We could say we're putting a different motor in or something. So we're halfway through. Halfway through putting, you know, like.

[Dalton]

Hey.

[Ken]

Hey. Your truck. We had your truck on the lift and then the lift broke and it just fell off.

[Ryan]

That's pretty funny. Yeah, that's pretty good.

[CJ]

And then I think just be like. Yeah, so, like, you got insurance on this thing, right? And then he'll be like, yeah. And then be like, well, maybe this is a. A good opportunity to get an actual real Cummins. Because he's got a Nissan Comet with a Cummins motor in it. Like a Nissan truck with a. With a diesel Cummins motor, which is actually pretty crazy. I didn't know they made those until he got it. Which is cool. But then, like, you know, I'd be a little funny.

[Ryan]

Jab. Yeah, I'll call him.

[CJ]

He's getting a new turbo put on. Hello?

[Ryan]

What's up, man? Is this Jake?

[H]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

What's up, Jake? Hey, bro, I. I hate to be the one giving you this news, but we just had your truck up on the lift. We just started working on it and it fell off and it fell onto the passenger door.

[H]

You're serious?

[CJ]

Yeah.

[H]

Could you guys possibly send me some photos of it for Chance?

[Ryan]

It's bad, man.

[H]

Really?

[Ryan]

Yeah. So anyway, I was kind of put. Put on the job of letting you know that it's probably totaled and. Yeah, I don't know what you're going to want to do about it, but do you have insurance?

[H]

Yeah, I got it fully covered, so.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you need to get it out of the ship.

[H]

Okay. All right, well, when would you want it out?

[Ryan]

I mean, it's really holding up production. Can you do today?

[H]

I mean, I could see. I mean, I'm eight hours away. I could see what I can do.

[Ryan]

You might want to call a tow truck.

[H]

Okay, let me go my buddy that's got a trailer and I'll see what we can do.

[Ryan]

This probably isn't the time to tell you this, man, but it might be a. Honestly, it might be for the greater good.

[H]

Why is that?

[Ryan]

I mean, it might be just time to get a real Cummins.

[H]

Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Okay, well, let me make some phone calls then and I can see what I could do.

[Ryan]

How about a Jeep? You seem like a Jeep guy. Yeah.

[H]

I had one before. I don't think you can go back to the Jeep again.

[Ryan]

Why is that?

[H]

I don't know. Just wasn't a fan of it. Thing didn't last very long.

[Ryan]

Corolla.

[CJ]

Corolla.

[H]

I could around with the Corolla Civic. But you're for real? Like, you're for real off the left?

[Ryan]

Yes.

[H]

Let me make some phone calls. I can see what I can do.

[Ryan]

Are these. How heavy are these wheels?

[H]

Like, what do you mean? My stock wheels? Yeah, not very heavy.

[Ryan]

I think that's probably why it fell off the lift. So we're not liable for it even.

[H]

Though they're OEM wheels?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I mean, we didn't tell you to put the OEM wheels back on it.

[H]

Nah. You guys gonna be with me?

[CJ]

Why?

[H]

Like, you can't be serious.

[Ryan]

Is this funny?

[H]

No, I don't find this funny.

[Ryan]

Why would we find this funny?

[H]

I don't know. That seems like a pretty ridiculous thing to say, like, oh, we're not liable for your fucking wheels.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I mean, we're running a professional shop here.

[H]

Huh?

[Ryan]

And, dude, we told you this from the get go. Like, we don't feel comfortable working On a Nissan truck.

[H]

Nobody told me that from the get go.

[Ryan]

I feel like you could tell when you walked in, like, did. Nobody said that?

[H]

Nobody said that to me. I was there with Andrew himself and he never said a word about that.

[Ryan]

But was he making like, kind of comments about it?

[H]

No, not a single comment was made.

[Ryan]

Really?

[H]

Mm.

[Ryan]

And you thought that that was a good idea?

[H]

Thought what was a good idea?

[Ryan]

To buy. I don't know, to buy a Nissan.

[H]

Truck to a. I brought my truck to a shop that offered a service for a Nissan Titan pickup.

[Ryan]

Dude, just because we said that doesn't mean that we actually do that.

[H]

Oh, my God.

[Ryan]

Like, did you. Did you ask if, like, we'd ever worked on one the.

[H]

Andrew said he worked on his own himself.

[Ryan]

Oh, dude, he lied.

[H]

He lied?

[Ryan]

Yeah, we let Andrew go.

[H]

So he's not the owner of the business then?

[Ryan]

No. He said that?

[H]

Yes.

[Ryan]

You didn't pay for anything yet, did you?

[H]

Things paid in full.

[Ryan]

You paid Andrew in full, huh? Are you serious?

[CJ]

Dead ass.

[Ryan]

Andrew just walked in. Hold on. Andrew, this dude just paid you? He paid you in full?

[CJ]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I'm gonna let him know. I'll let him know. Hey, Andrew. Andrew wants to talk to you here.

[CJ]

Hello? Hello. You never paid me.

[H]

I have. I have the receipt that. Of the $6,000. What do you mean I never paid you?

[CJ]

I. I didn't get the money.

[H]

I have the receipt with your name on it and everything, so I don't.

[CJ]

Know why you told him that. I said I know how to work on Nissan trucks.

[H]

Oh, my God.

[CJ]

This was our first time.

[H]

Oh, my God.

[CJ]

And you still owe us half the bill because we've had your truck. We've been warehousing it this whole time. It's taking up shop space.

[H]

Oh, no, nobody's bro. This is paid $6,000. I don't know what you guys are going on about. I don't know about any of this. I went through your guys's website and everything for this service, so I have no idea what you guys are talking about unless you guys are busting my balls on this, but do you think.

[CJ]

We just take the truck then and then he. We just call it square?

[Mike]

Oh, my God.

[Ryan]

If you pay for the tow truck, we'll pay to keep the truck.

[H]

First off, I. If it truly did fall off the list, like a photo of it, and then I can make some.

[CJ]

You don't want.

[H]

I can make them. No, I want to see it.

[CJ]

It's bad.

[H]

No, I want to see it.

[Ryan]

And then we don't feel we don't feel comfortable showing photos inside of our shop.

[CJ]

Maybe we can trade the stock wheels. Like. Like the aftermarket wheels. Like, that could be part of the payment.

[H]

Aftermarket wheels. Those are literally the wheels I got from the dealership.

[CJ]

No, no, the aftermarket wheels in your. In your TikToks.

[H]

I don't have those.

[CJ]

You sold them?

[H]

Sold them.

[CJ]

Hey, Jake, this is cj. I'm just with you.

[H]

Oh, my God. Dude. I was gonna say, I'm like, oh, my God, dude.

[Ryan]

I think the most concerning part is that Jake didn't notice that it was his brother and cousin on the.

[Gavin]

Well, no, because I'm like, there was a moment.

[H]

I'm like, dude, there's no. This dude sounds kind of familiar. Hold on a minute. But I didn't put two and two together.

[Ryan]

Oh, he was.

[Mike]

You were bummed your Saturday was ruined.

[Ryan]

Yeah, sorry about that, Jake.

[H]

No, because. Yeah, go for it.

[CJ]

So you still don't have your truck back, huh?

[H]

No, I'm. I'm literally picking up this next weekend.

[CJ]

Like, you've been. You've been saying that for months, buddy. You've been saying that for months. Seven months now.

[H]

Eight, Six. But no, this is the actual projected date of it being done. Like, we're going and picking it up.

[CJ]

Okay, well, hopefully it's done. Hopefully.

[Ken]

And how many times have they said it's going to be done this next week?

[Ryan]

Oh, my God, this one.

[CJ]

Worried about you.

[H]

Yeah, no, no, this is. This is official. There's an actual. I've been getting photos of it and everything. It's actually getting done. But no, you with that news.

[Ryan]

And I'm like, sorry, Jake. Didn't mean to do that. Also, your truck is cool. I was just busting your balls.

[H]

No, it's all good.

[Ryan]

Sorry, I was just like, well, all.

[H]

That was going on, I'm like, dude, this can't be real.

[CJ]

You handled it pretty well. I can't believe you were like, oh, get a tow truck. And he's like, you got to get this thing out of the shop.

[H]

Yeah. No, I was like. I'm like, oh, well, I'll figure something out.

[Ryan]

All right, bro. Well, sorry about that.

[H]

No, you're good.

[Ryan]

Yep. Good luck.

[H]

You're good.

[CJ]

All right. You're on the podcast. So it was on the podcast. Super funny.

[H]

I'll have to definitely check this one out then.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[CJ]

All right. Later, bro.

[Ryan]

That's good. That was a good one, dude.

[Mike]

The way he was great. The way he was gonna pick up everything on a mid Saturday and drive Eight hours total truck.

[Ryan]

He's like, I can't believe that.

[Mike]

He wasn't like, no, it's not my.

[CJ]

Job to get it out of here. He was just like, oh, okay, well, I guess I'll call a tow truck.

[Ryan]

And that's why you don't let shitty shops take advantage of you folks.

[CJ]

Yeah, definitely don't.

[Ryan]

I feel like that's, like, a real thing.

[CJ]

It happens all the time.

[Ryan]

That would be like, a real conversation with just, like, a shitty, shady shop. Yeah, it would be, like, just playing, man. Yeah, your. Your. Your car fell off. It was because of the wheels that were on it. We're not liable. And also, you paid in full. And, yeah, we're not giving you anything.

[CJ]

Also, there's, like, there's shitty contractors that'll do the same thing.

[Ken]

I just can't believe he actually paid in full for that ahead of time.

[CJ]

Yeah, I don't know why he did that. But anyways, hopefully he gets it back, because if he doesn't, then, honestly, I'm down to help him out and just go down there with him and maybe we'll bring the camera with and throw some punches.

[Dalton]

They've had that for six months.

[Ryan]

Was it Andrew?

[Dalton]

Crazy Andrew.

[CJ]

And he paid.

[Ryan]

Andrew said that he'd worked on his Nissan. We should never trust a man that owns Nissan. Yeah. Should we call up Carolyn, dude? Yeah. Should we call up your mom?

[Ken]

I want to get her off the.

[Dalton]

Phone for four hours, yaps her way through the rest of it.

[Ryan]

You think she would recognize your voice?

[Ken]

100%. She would recognize it.

[Mike]

I'll call her.

[CJ]

Hi, is this Carolyn?

[Dalton]

We're here with the Liberal Dog Association.

[Ryan]

Yes, yes. Call her. Call her.

[CJ]

We had on your list that a family member of yours was part of.

[Ryan]

The liberal voted for Biden.

[CJ]

Yes. Just say, like, the liberal.

[Ryan]

Like.

[CJ]

Yeah, just say, like, a family member.

[Ryan]

Yours.

[CJ]

Bailey. So for backstory.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Bailey is Ken's family dog. And one time he came over, and he was wearing a little blue vest. And Ken's mom, who is a Republican, was through and through, constantly talking about Republican. I go, well, how do you feel about Bailey? Well, what do you mean? Well, isn't he a Democrat? He's wearing a blue vest right now. And, like, that's kind of our joke now. And it'd be funny if she thinks we put him on a list.

[Ken]

She's gonna be so pissed.

[Mike]

Never seen angry Carolyn.

[Ken]

All right, you guys ready?

[Mike]

Y.

[Ryan]

You got it, Mike.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

The Liberal Dog Association.

[Ryan]

I don't know which.

[Ken]

Mike.

[Gavin]

Mike, your call has been Forwarded to voicemail.

[Ryan]

Jeez. Oh, must have got that from you, Ken.

[Dalton]

That was weird.

[Gavin]

Maybe your call has been forwarded to voicemail.

[Ryan]

The person.

[Dalton]

Well, in that case, at that one.

[Mike]

She'S got her phone set up like Ken's. Yeah, I don't have the same number.

[Ken]

I might have helped her do that.

[Mike]

All right, so Sydney entered our cat Franklin into a America's favorite Pet competition. And I like. I'm like, okay, cool, he's in a competition. And then she's like, yeah, if he wins, he gets 10, 000 bucks.

[CJ]

That's in.

[Dalton]

Frank does.

[Mike]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Dalton]

A lot of kidding.

[Mike]

Love to set him up bank account or something, but I'm like, Geez, $10,000?

[Ryan]

Why. Why does he get $10,000?

[Mike]

Because it's like a donation based. The whole thing is essentially a charity run. So it's like. I'm sure they make way more scam. Sure.

[CJ]

People are buying the. The. You get one free vote, but you want. You can buy as many as you.

[Ken]

So how many votes have you bought personally?

[Mike]

About. I buy them when they're 2x. So I bought 120 votes for about 60 bucks.

[Ryan]

And where is your cat at on the rank?

[Mike]

So he just went into the semifinals. So there's approximately.

[Dalton]

To my knowledge, it ends March 6th.

[Mike]

Four cats left or. No, sorry, not four because he's in eight.

[Ryan]

They're all cats.

[Mike]

I don't know. He's in. He's in the semifinals. And he went to. I think there's 10 total cats in the semifinals in the entire US at least in this. And he's number eight right now.

[Ryan]

It seems like a kind of a good investment if you were to just like drop a thousand. Yeah.

[Mike]

Put some money behind it, especially on the 2x. You know, so like one time. Every voting bracket you get a 2x time. So anyway, I was like, we should just drop the link in this podcast. You can go vote for free if you want. It'd be hilarious if this cat wins ten grand.

[CJ]

Mike's cat is the. What is it? Cutest pet in America.

[Mike]

Yeah. America's favorite pet.

[CJ]

America's favorite pet.

[Ryan]

That's a crazy thing for it to win. And I've never even met this animal.

[Mike]

Right. A dog, Frank. A dog wins and a cat wins. But anyway, I was like, it's pretty selfish of me to say. Put the link in the bio.

[CJ]

No need to win.

[Ryan]

You know what you should do?

[Mike]

What?

[Ryan]

You should hire Dave Sherbrooke.

[Mike]

Oh yeah.

[Ryan]

And have him be your campaign manager. And then he'll your way to victory.

[Mike]

Exactly. He knows all about that.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

That cat will win by a landslide if Dave's involved.

[Ryan]

Throwing out.

[Mike]

So, yeah, again, it kind of makes me wonder, like, how much money I guess some of these people are pumping into. Or maybe there's such a thing as, like, Franklin doesn't even have a social media presence. So if you entered a cat that had a social media presence, they're obviously going to get a lot of votes. But here I am. Like, I put it on my Snapchat story for a week, and I put it on my Instagram story, too, and it really helped. Like, he went into first and he got first in that bracket, but how much are people paying that now?

[CJ]

It's a balancing act. Just think, these other people, they could be. You could put up $9,999, you know, and then you'd still. You'd be in the hole money back.

[Mike]

No, you got to probably pay taxes.

[CJ]

Oh, you do.

[Mike]

When you get money.

[CJ]

Grand. You're right. You're right.

[Mike]

Probably 85.

[CJ]

Balancing act. So in theory, you could just keep pumping to a certain point, but if everyone else does that, someone's gonna lose.

[Ken]

Put in five grand when it's double entries.

[Mike]

I know. I was wondering that, like, just locked in. So we'll see. We'll see. If he wins, it just would be pretty nuts.

[Dalton]

He also will be featured on the COVID of Modern Cat.

[CJ]

You need it.

[Mike]

It's pretty good.

[CJ]

I mean, he's got to win.

[Dalton]

He's got to win.

[Ryan]

And you just got another cat.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So you got two cats.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Aren't you allergic? Might.

[Mike]

Yeah, a little bit. A little bit. It's hilarious. It's like an inside joke now. Like, I'll have a little sneeze fit and be like, I think I'm allergic to cats, even though, like, I've been living with them for a long time. I think when you do live with them, if. If you're really allergic, you're not going to get over it. But if you are a little allergic, it's somewhat of an immunity thing, really. So, like, right now, my immune system's a little beaten down, I'm a little sick, and I sneeze like crazy. But then on a normal daily basis, I maybe sneeze a handful of times.

[CJ]

Dude, I'm so allergic to cats. Alex has a cat and it lives with her mom because, like, yeah, straight up, like, no way. I wouldn't be able to.

[Ryan]

Do your cats, like, hang out with you? Like, are they, like, cuddly or, like, looks like it.

[Mike]

Yeah. But they're also. They're both boy cats, so it's like, as soon as you're, like, enjoying their presence, and then, you know, five pets, you're good. And then on the sixth pet, they're like, yeah, I'm gonna bite your hand off.

[CJ]

Really?

[Dalton]

Really.

[Mike]

Not like, that aggressive.

[Ryan]

But I just don't understand cats.

[Mike]

Yeah. Dude.

[Dalton]

The biggest benefit of a cat over a dog. Cats don't bark.

[CJ]

And they also kind of take care of themselves. Like.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's the whole, like, leaving them.

[CJ]

They kind of just.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

How long can you leave it?

[Mike]

Two days, like, unattended.

[Dalton]

Won't cats eat you if you die?

[Mike]

That's what I hear.

[Ryan]

I was thinking about that last night, laying in bed. Ryan.

[Mike]

I heard they don't even wait, which I don't think. Really?

[Dalton]

They don't even wait.

[Mike]

I heard that it's, like, within hours.

[Dalton]

But it's crazy how long.

[Mike]

I don't believe it. But I do believe they eat you like any animal would. You know, like, pigs eat people.

[Ryan]

You think a golden retriever would eat you, though? I don't. I don't think a golden retriever would.

[Dalton]

Cease owner's body as soon as it begins to cool.

[Mike]

Yeah, like, that's our, you know, like, four or five hours.

[CJ]

Just no loyalty. No loyalty.

[Ken]

Most domestic kitty cats will not prey on their human owners due to the strong bond they share.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

So they do feel that.

[Ken]

But if they're hungry.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Ryan]

Do dogs do that, Ryan?

[Ken]

I'm sure some dogs are way too loyal.

[CJ]

I'd love to get a dog, honestly. I think it'd be fun.

[Ryan]

Same. It just doesn't make any sense right now.

[CJ]

So much work that goes with it, though.

[Ryan]

So hot and heavy about getting a dog.

[CJ]

Really.

[Ryan]

Yeah. But I'm just, like. It's just not. Makes no sense.

[Mike]

And both of you are so busy.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. Be just bad. And she's like, you could bring it to work with you. I'm like. I'm like. And what? Just have it follow me around all day as we go from shop to shop to filming in Fargo. And, like, it's dirty.

[Mike]

Yeah. Know. Because, like, if you brought a dog, though, like, animals don't really, like, they got it. Let's say they'd have to be barking all day to piss me off. Like, I remember back in the day, like, when I bring Luna around, like, you particularly would just get pissed.

[Ryan]

A terrible dog.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah. But, like, I'm just saying, like, the.

[Ryan]

Worst dog like it would take 30.

[Ken]

Seconds for that dog to get on my nerves.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, exactly. So like I'm saying you could have like a bad dog and I'd be like, yeah, I mean it's annoying but it's nice. It's not my problem.

[Ryan]

You could.

[Mike]

And that's as far as it would go though too.

[CJ]

But like I feel like no matter what, it's a distraction even if it's the best dog because you're like, oh, like he's not licking oil off the floor right now, is he? Or like, oh like he's not gonna like someone's about to do donuts. He's not going to be in the way. Which yeah, some dogs know how to just take care of themselves. Like the neighbor's dog waffle.

[Mike]

Honestly, it's an outside of the way. It's an outside farm dog thing. I'm not saying.

[CJ]

Yeah, inside dog has to learn to adapt. Otherwise it's just would die type of thing. Whereas like if it's going to be a pet inside, it kind of becomes a little too dependent.

[Mike]

Which tainted me. I think it'll taint me for like kids too. I like just grew up with the, the outside cats. Outside dogs.

[CJ]

Yeah, they just took care of themselves.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he just ate that squirrel hole.

[Mike]

I'm like, yeah, he'll be fine. He just licked that river. Dirty river water. I'm like, yeah, he'll be fine.

[Dalton]

Yeah, you just don't let him lick you afterwards. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, vote for Mike's cat dude.

[Mike]

Yeah, we'll see if we can get them. America's favorite pet. More importantly, 10k though.

[Ryan]

Crazy.

[CJ]

We'll put them in like a little, like a little. Maybe a high interest savings account for half of it. There we go. The other five will maybe just put into like the S P500 and I don't care.

[Mike]

Frank, I really am curious as like what type of taxes that we would pay on that.

[Ryan]

Well, you just get 1099.

[CJ]

Yeah, yeah. So you pay probably what I would.

[Mike]

Put it on a Sydney's income. That make more sense.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

All right, there we go.

[Mike]

All right. Love you Gav. Sorry to be.

[Ryan]

Yeah, love you Jake.
