[Ryan]

Hey, y'.

[Ben]

All. As a growing family, my husband and.

[Ryan]

I love game night.

[Ben]

Especially when it's Wayfair edition.

[Mike]

Let's do it.

[Marketing Voice]

You gotta name as many Wayfair furniture.

[Evan]

And decor categories as you can.

[Mike]

Ready? Go.

[Ben]

Sofas, bar stools, beds, ottomans, outdoor seating, bookshelves, kitchen tables, garden sheds, uh, mid century modern lamps. Time.

[Evan]

Nice.

[Mike]

You got nine out of a lot. Not too bad. Keep practicing by visiting wayfair.com which can shop every style for every home.

[Ben]

Wayfair.

[Ryan]

Every style, every home.

[Evan]

I wouldn't do that when we're sitting on a podcast.

[Ryan]

Yeah, dude, nobody's using the Christmas gifts I got them.

[Mike]

Ryan, if it makes you feel better, my hat is not in the garbage.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, no, it is. It's still sitting on your little garbage chair over there with the rest of the stuff. It's like a flat spot that just accumulates garbage.

[Mike]

Cj, I heard about what happened at your parents office the other day.

[Ryan]

What happened?

[Mike]

Like, a freaking furnace backfired.

[Ryan]

Yep, a furnace backfired, but it, like.

[Mike]

Got, like, super sooty in there.

[Ryan]

What the.

[Ken]

How does that even happen?

[Ryan]

Hold on. We got to wait until he's done chewing. But that's crazy.

[Ben]

I kept like, why is C.J. not talking?

[Ryan]

You imagine, dude, you're just sitting in your office, you hear furnace go like a car, you know? Yeah, I put a backfire tune. I put a burble tune on my furnace.

[Mike]

How many nuts did you put in your mouth?

[Ryan]

I had to eat them all. Brought the whole jar.

[Mike]

Making peanut butter.

[Ryan]

Great start.

[Mike]

He's making peanut butter in there. He like, how can you possibly be chewing them?

[Ben]

Like, I looked at your hand. I looked down at your hand, and there was like, seven at top.

[Evan]

They're freaking cashews, man. I don't know. Give me a second.

[Ben]

Dude, we.

[Mike]

We have.

[Ryan]

We're almost done. The podcast is done.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

What are we at, Ken?

[Evan]

So what happened was my parents are on vacation. They literally never go on vacation. I'm not kidding you. Growing up, I went on one vacation ever in my life. And I'm not. I'm not acting like, oh, poor me only went on one vacation, but, like, we just never went anywhere. Like, my dad likes just working. He's a chiropractor. They're in the same clinic that my great grandpa practice in. So, I mean, I don't know how old this building is.

[Mike]

Probably like 1920s.

[Ken]

No, I'd say.

[Evan]

Aggressive. It's probably like 60 to 70 years old. I'd say. Yeah. Anyways, the first vacation since like 2008, I guess. The first day they're gone, the furnace freaking backfired and like fired. Sooted up the whole office.

[Ryan]

So it, it put soot in whatever.

[Evan]

Yeah, basically like it should have been going out, but. But then it started feeding it in. And it did that for like an oil burning furnace?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Oh, it did that for like, I don't even know.

[Ken]

So like the exhaust vent broke or something?

[Evan]

Yeah, I mean, to the point where someone saw black soot coming out of like something in the building and they thought it was on fire. So the fire department had to like break the door and like go in there.

[Ben]

Oh, really?

[Ryan]

Oh, you're poor parents. Yeah.

[Evan]

So first day they're. They're gone or whatever, they get a call from the fire department and you know, all this crap's going on. And I wish they would have called me because I would have gone and like, helped. But I guess like, my dad is pretty, like, chill. Like, I think he thought, oh, it's, it's fine. Like, it's no big deal. And he's like a big do it yourselfer guy. So he would never want to hire someone or even have anyone else do something. He's like, doesn't want to pay for it and also just think, so not do it. Right.

[Ryan]

He's pretty talented at.

[Evan]

Yeah, he can do any.

[Mike]

You can do it.

[Evan]

He's like, remodeled their house and so he tackled the cleanup and well, so they get there and the whole office was like sooted up and.

[Ryan]

Do you have any pictures? Like, I'm trying to describe, trying to feel how bad it is. Like, is the whole thing black?

[Evan]

No, it wasn't that bad, but I guess it just smelt terrible and was pretty inconvenience and they had to, you know, clean it and spend like a long time cleaning it. I was sitting there trying to help him, but they're like, no, no, no, no, the frick. But it's not that great of a story, I guess. But that's what happened. Yeah.

[Ben]

Well, I'm just glad it didn't burn down. Like, I mean, yeah, obviously that would.

[Evan]

Have sucked, but for your grandpa. Yeah. Well, right. No kidding. So my, my grandpa and my dad, I guess, practice in the same clinic and my grandpa's like. How old is grandpa now?

[Mike]

80. Yeah.

[Evan]

He only works a few days a week just because he wants to stay busy and he likes doing it, but. Yeah. So like, would have sucked if the whole clinic burned down because he lost his house, what, three years ago.

[Ryan]

Yeah. To a fire have you ever talked with your parents about like the Instagram chiropractors? You know, the ones that are like kind of buffed up dudes and they get some girl in just like the tightest yoga pants and like no outfit and then they come in there and.

[Evan]

Yeah, I don't think my dad is aware of that. He doesn't have an Instagram and if.

[Ryan]

He did, he wouldn't be watching that.

[Evan]

I've never asked them but my opinion on it. I think it's kind of a bad look for. That's what I was wondering profession. You know, I don't even know if those guys are real chiropractors, but like, I see some of the views these guys are getting, especially on YouTube. I mean, I can't blame them. I'm sure if I was a chiropractor I'd be doing the same thing. But. But like, they're probably making more money off YouTube than being a chiropractor. And, and like, it's just like they're sitting in LA and they got all these like Instagram models or whatever. I'm sure they come to you an adjustment and then they're like, hey, like, is it cool we, you know, film where we make YouTubes and Instagrams, Tik toks, all this? But like, this girl's got just a hinder on her and then they're like, you know, she's wearing yoga pants and they're doing this stuff.

[Ryan]

Not at all like what a normal adjustment is. Like, like that. I don't, I don't even know what.

[Mike]

I think they are. They're doing adjustments, but somewhat normal. It's just less.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's what I mean. Like your, your parents aren't like, okay, strip down to your workout clothes here.

[Evan]

I think those girls, you know, I think those girls show up like that and then they just take advantage of the moment.

[Ben]

I just love when they take it one step further. And then I, I get the. Those videos, but they edit farts over them.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh my gosh.

[Ben]

And like, I just can't help but laugh.

[Evan]

Yeah. I don't know, I guess like a.

[Ryan]

Fart still gets you.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Evan]

As someone who comes from a family of chiropractors, I think it's kind of like a bad look, but also like, I guess they are Cairos and they're.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I mean, it's their thing.

[Evan]

Probably spreading, I guess, somewhat of a.

[Mike]

I don't know, it's hard to say. I think that, like, I think it's maybe, maybe people think about it too is like, oh, I just go to them to get my neck cracked. When like, that's really not all, like, going and getting an adjustment does doesn't just like crack your bones. And like the videos I see, like, they just have a mic like right on the neck and it's just like.

[Evan]

Well, it is fun to watch. I mean, the crack does like kind of feel. I don't know. There's something like it gives you a little bit of dopamine when you hear it and whatever. I'm sure there's a lot of relief. But the truth of the matter is, if I was a chiropractor, being what I know, I would still pro. I'd be a YouTuber in the end because I'd be freaking doing that.

[Ryan]

Like, be like Cleats brother doing dentist and YouTube.

[Evan]

Yeah. Does he make videos of his dentistry?

[Ryan]

I think so. It's like really randomly sprinkled in throughout it.

[Evan]

Yeah, I'd just be exploiting the freaking yoga pants models and yeah, taking advantage of the system get Getting tens of millions of views.

[Ben]

You guys see Cleat finally hard park. The spark is pretty impressed. Basically, he just has this little Chevy spark and he has to come into his parking lot at 60 and park it perfectly in this spot with like one inch of air. It took him 101 tries. Man, was it interesting to watch.

[Mike]

Yeah, I did see it. I would have piled that thing up so many times.

[Ben]

So many.

[Mike]

Oh, it would have been so bad.

[Evan]

I would have parked it in the building.

[Mike]

Yeah, I would have parked that thing right up in the office.

[Ryan]

Honestly, when he did it right, it looked so easy. I go, like, why didn't he just do that every other time? But like, all the mistakes, dude, it looks so chaotic.

[Mike]

A lot of it's just luck, right?

[Ben]

Yeah, I agree. It's like that. That to me was a dude perfect scenario. You know, just like do it until you make it and then that's your golden clip. Like, if he shows people that clip, I'd be like, whoa. And then he'd be like, that was my 101st try.

[Evan]

Still though, he's quite a driver. I mean, there's no doubt Cletus is a hell of a driver. So, like, you still got to get it in that vicinity. But yeah, I agree. Maybe like 10 to 5% of that was luck back in the day.

[Ryan]

Dude, with the tc.

[Mike]

Yeah, right.

[Ryan]

I feel like I probably could have gotten it close a couple times.

[Mike]

Yeah, maybe you gotta bust the TC out and do something with it.

[Ben]

I. I Kind of thought, I do.

[Ryan]

It's just sitting in the barn.

[Ben]

I think it'd be a lot of fun to do, like, some side challenges like that. Like, 105 tries realistically, your balls deep in it at that point. But yeah, just some stuff like, can you hard park the tc? It'd be very entertaining to watch.

[Mike]

Yeah, it kind of came from, like, the know if you guys would have even seen this, but, like, Bryson DeChambeau, he's a professional golfer. He's kind of a YouTube golfer now.

[Ben]

He kind of start. Yeah.

[Mike]

So, like, he was doing, like, this trick shot thing where he was going over his house, and his house was like a mansion made out of glass. So it made it, like, really enticing to see, like, could he go over his house onto his practice green on the other side and make a hole in one day?

[Ben]

One. One shot. Day two. Two shots.

[Mike]

30 days or something like that. And then a bunch of things, like, came after that. But it's a cool concept.

[Ryan]

Have you guys seen the guys that did it to meme Bryson?

[Mike]

Oh, like, over barn.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's just over, like, their house. It is so funny. Watch this.

[Evan]

Okay, shot number one here, except I want the stakes to be a little bit higher. I work better under pressure.

[Ben]

At the front of his house, bro.

[Evan]

His window.

[Ben]

Okay. So if you know how to golf, this is not stressful at all. But if you're me.

[Mike]

Clips it in, it's funny.

[Evan]

These break a window. Yeah, he broke his window.

[Ryan]

He just ends up whacking the house a bunch of times.

[Mike]

We'll have to check the whole cam on that one to see if it's good.

[Evan]

There's no chance, buddy.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And so then they end up doing it to the point where they get a literal excavator in there, and they have the whole, like, freaking 20ft wide.

[Evan]

And that's.

[Ryan]

I think he eventually did it.

[Evan]

That's actually a really, really good idea.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Rich got a hole in one the other day. That's pretty cool.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Mike]

Yeah, man. Yeah. He's had a. He's had a good week. Yeah.

[Ryan]

What a lucky week for him, dumping.

[Evan]

A dozer before we.

[Ben]

Before we go in on him for the dozer.

[Mike]

Dude, I don't know if I want to give Rich the satisfaction of us celebrating his hole in one, because this is exactly what he wants. Well, so me and Rich kind of got this. Rich is our buddy that builds our tracks, and every time he's up here, like, we. We go and play golf. He really likes to go off. I Like, to golf, we're both pretty bad, and so, like, we got pretty high stakes where we, like, put up money, but it's like. It's basically just like a race to last place. Like, we both. It's like, who's worse that day? And so after he got this hole in one, he sends it to me. I watch it. I don't even congratulate him to give him the satisfaction of it.

[Ben]

Right.

[Mike]

Super jealous. Obviously. It's every golfer's dream. So the fact that we're sitting here on our podcast talking about it, like, I'm not sure I can partake in this. I'll tell you.

[Ben]

Congrats, Rich. But no, that's fair. Basically. Then he sends me this video, like, of when you clip the snake to the. To your homie shirt.

[Mike]

Ken's been trying to do this for years.

[Ben]

Just a classic prank.

[Ken]

Never works out for me.

[Mike]

A pretty easy prank to pull off.

[Ken]

I don't quite have the touch to get it on the shirt without them noticing.

[Ryan]

Ken.

[Evan]

Ken goes to, like, just clip it on. Boom. Pats him on the back.

[Mike]

Sorry.

[Ben]

Well, anyway, Rich did it, and he, let's say, got it perfect. And, dude, it's just. It's just flawless.

[Ryan]

This.

[Ben]

His friend is so scared.

[Ryan]

Thought that was Rich.

[Mike]

Oh, Ricky.

[Ryan]

Dude.

[Mike]

This dude is fully convinced that this snake is just chasing him.

[Ben]

Is that even a thing?

[Ryan]

Snakes chasing.

[Ben]

Swinging his club at it. I'm like, rich, why'd you tell him it was fake? He's like, dude, because he was so scared I would.

[Evan]

Yeah, I just let it play out.

[Ryan]

He just kept. Keeps running.

[Ben]

Then he calls me the other day and was like, hey, so how does it work when, like, Instagram's just, like, viral media? Instagram hit me up. They have 12 million followers. They want to use my video. I'm like, oh, yeah, you won't get any money from that. They just want to post your video in one of their compilations.

[Mike]

And what is he. Was he, like, stoked on that?

[Ben]

I don't know. I think he understood, but I was like, it's just like when supercar Blondie reaches out. Can we use your clip? It's not special.

[Mike]

Yeah. Rich screenshots, like, this chick's, like, totally into me. Yeah.

[Ben]

But that. Thought that was pretty funny. Might have to get one of those.

[Ryan]

That carries some weight, though, with the. With the older crowd. Sometimes, like, it does. Like, I think we got something on there. And I had a lot of guys be like, I saw Super Clar Bondi posted your guys's stuff.

[Mike]

Yeah, I guess, I don't know, it's kind of cool. It's like the same thing of like being on Chive.

[Ben]

We mentioned that. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I still think Jive is cool.

[Ben]

I mean because they. Dude, every single bar we've ever walked into, ever that plays Chive, we're on.

[Evan]

Yeah, ever. I remember when we first started playing on Chive TV. This has been like 2021 maybe. I was sitting in the, you know, just at Zorba's at our local bar and it was like Sunday, eating pizza, you know, all the locals are there. We start playing on the TV and you know, kind of everyone's hanging out. Like, I'm not kidding, everyone starts watching and when it was done, I'm not kidding you, they all clapped and like, oh my God. Congratulated. Congrat. Like as if we had then made it. If we're just like, oh, thanks. Yeah, that's so funny.

[Mike]

They thought it was a crowd.

[Evan]

I don't know why. Got over a billion views on YouTube, but something about being supercar blondie posts.

[Mike]

You different forms of achievements.

[Ryan]

I think there's something about it being on the TV in a place that this seems really legit.

[Evan]

Like no one clicked to play it, it just came on. Yeah, I agree. That's cool. And yeah, makes sense. We got so many clips, dude, like so many clips. Like you can just, I mean they.

[Mike]

Could just play like our year end recap.

[Evan]

Yeah, they really could.

[Mike]

And it would just be a full two hour video that they could just play on repeat.

[Ken]

Seems like some of those videos that they play are, you know, slightly shortened down. Full videos.

[Ben]

That's what I get the most kick out of. Yeah, I mean sometimes it's really quick and then other times it's just like full bits that they run with captions.

[Mike]

Which makes no like make no sense unless you have like the volume on.

[Ryan]

You're.

[Mike]

You're watching us do a hot dog eating competition.

[Ryan]

You're just like, wait, what, what are these guys doing?

[Mike]

Yeah, I don't know, it's. It is kind of crazy though. Like our 2023 year end recap. Yeah, yeah, 2023 has like 20 million views or something like that. Cuz it's so easy to just throw on the TV and just, just watch an extreme dopamine hit every 30 seconds.

[Evan]

What is in interesting about that to me is so it's titled best of Seabo TV 2023. It's our most viewed video with 20 million views. So that means that it's reaching a lot of new People who don't know who we are. Yeah. So like if you were to think about like let's say crotch rocket in the dunes got 20 million views. It makes sense. It's like everyone kind of knows what a crotch rocket is. It's self explanatory. But there is nothing self explanatory about best of Seabo TV 2023 to someone who has never heard of Seabo TV.

[Ryan]

Whatever am I going to get here.

[Mike]

Yeah, really doesn't make a lot of sense.

[Evan]

I don't know if it's the. I think often times obviously with that it's the thumbnail. But also uh, just the analytics in the back end are so, so good that YouTube is just pushing it so much because it's obviously getting a lot of watch time and, and, and people are liking it so like they just keep sending it and that's, that's. I mean that's about as prime of an example of like the back end analytics is making that video because like there's really no reason for a new person to like like no one's search like searching out that's never heard of us before. Best of C Boys TV versus like crotch rockets or snowmobiles or dirt bikes, you know.

[Ben]

So I'm sure we can look at this. But like that video has had to accredit us a ton of subs.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, it's a lot. It's like 80,000.

[Ben]

Holy.

[Evan]

That's like another point that you can make to like people that are maybe new on YouTube or they're trying to get more views. It's like is anyone like searching out the topic or like the, the type of video you're making?

[Ryan]

I feel like less and less.

[Evan]

Well yeah, but you got to think about that like when you're making your video like if it's super niche or like not something that anyone would be searching, how are you going to get many views?

[Ben]

That is very true. Not as a non known channel but.

[Ryan]

It is interesting too cuz there is those weird niche things like can't remember who was talking about it but they were like oh I really like Lego YouTube. And he like showed me this Lego YouTuber. Lego something you'd search.

[Evan]

You'd search.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's a huge brand but he's got like tens of millions of views on every Lego video. And I'm like man, I can't believe that. But it's just not my thing.

[Mike]

There's riches in the niches.

[Ryan]

There you go.

[Evan]

And I'm not saying that you shouldn't be in, in these niches. I'm just saying some people are just like, it's something that would not be searched in general. Like, it's just not a thing.

[Ryan]

Yeah, no, I see what you're saying.

[Evan]

You got to play off things that are already established and have a following.

[Mike]

The videos that I've been watching on YouTube are just so bizarre. I don't know, really, if you guys are on, like, the same account.

[Ryan]

I started my own.

[Mike]

Did you?

[Ryan]

I got 100 subs, by the way. Subscribe to me, Ryan Iwerks.

[Mike]

You got a profile pic?

[Ben]

I do.

[Ryan]

It's. It's me.

[Mike]

Nice. No, I don't know. Like, I haven't been watching that much YouTube lately. Like, traditional YouTube, like, as in, like, creators. I just watch like, like ancient Roman history videos that are like 30 minutes long that I can just pop on, put in my sauna, and just sit there and just watch and not really learn something. Yeah, I don't know.

[Ryan]

What's something you've learned? It's a good piece of information you've taken home from this.

[Mike]

Gosh, that's a good question. Probably nothing. Honestly, nothing useful.

[Ryan]

Sometimes it is nice. I like watching TV. Alondra and I watched. Or YouTube. Alondra and I watched travel YouTube one day for like, two hours. And at the end of it, it was like the same, like, hi, my name's Joe and this is Jeanette, and we are going to the most expensive hotel in Dubai. And I was at, like, the fifth video. I was like, we can't YouTube anymore because I can't deal with any more YouTube voice. You know how people kind of put on that? Like, some people. Some people do. Yeah. And I think it's a detriment.

[Ben]

I did the same thing last night. I, I just crushed a couple just standard YouTuber videos, like, calling for his dude who built building an underground garage.

[Evan]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, that's super cool.

[Ben]

I watched a dude perfect video.

[Mike]

Just random.

[Ben]

And then classic Mr. Beast.

[Ryan]

And then I put together a good film, though.

[Ben]

And after, you know, like, that was probably a good hour and a half of YouTube. And I was like, man, it's nice to just sit back and just watch.

[Ryan]

Like, just take something in.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Ah, man, there's just so much good stuff. But I, I, I've said it before. I love, like, sharing an account. I guess we're. We're on the Seabo account and just feeding our algorithm. Like, we have so much random videos because we align, we watch the same things, and then Also, like, I'm searching up a tutorial on how to draw this certain thing in Illustrator, and Ben's searching up how to install Robo supercharger on a. You know.

[Mike]

Yeah, I can always tell, like, what you guys are doing. You know, we don't. Especially Mike being, like, in another shop. You know, I don't really know what you do most of the days and. But I can tell, like, kind of what you're up to by, like, what our YouTube search history is.

[Ben]

Yep.

[Ryan]

If it's literally those cartoons that you watch, those occasionally pop up.

[Mike]

Well, Kill Tony is always at the.

[Ryan]

Kill Tony.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

That is literally my most watched thing.

[Mike]

Every time I walk into Mike's office, he has two podcasts going at the one time. Mike.

[Evan]

Mike.

[Mike]

Mike can consume content. You know, he's. His brain operates so fast. One podcast isn't enough for him. Right. So he pops two. While two of them working. Yeah, while he's working. Right. So he's working over here and then he's got one Kill Tony podcast over here and then he's got your bad friends podcast over here.

[Ryan]

Yeah. TikTok scrolling, like on his phone automatically.

[Ben]

Dude, I saw a thing. It's. They. They marketed it for when you're on the treadmill.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Ben]

But it's a. I'm going to get.

[Ryan]

A launder, one of those.

[Ben]

It's a scroller for your tik tok and you, you have it in your hand and you press the button and scrolls.

[Ryan]

So then you just press a button, you're on the treadmill. You don't have to swipe.

[Ben]

In this day and age, I don't even think it's the craziest thing because.

[Ryan]

No, it's a great idea.

[Ben]

It depends on, like, what kind of like, TikTok. Let's say your tiktoks are very shallow and, like, not educational. Then like, what a dumb thing. Just like scroll, scroll, scroll.

[Mike]

I feel like they all are.

[Ben]

They're not. However, if you're. If you're taking in some information, your. Your tik toks a little more on the long form side of things. I could get it, I could see it.

[Ryan]

I like, understand it with Alondra. Like, she's got different creators that she's following. She's got girls doing kitchen remodel. She's got girls that are working out like people that she follows. And I'm looking forward to the next kitchen update and she just waits for it to come by in her feet, you know, and like, so that's. She like uses It I think in the right way where mine is just.

[Ken]

Nonsense still, I think that is, that is a new low in products for sale.

[Ryan]

Really.

[Ken]

That is just the epitome of lazy.

[Evan]

So lazy.

[Mike]

Your phone to scroll it, bro. We started this workout challenge, Ken, and Ken is a new man no more. I would have thought that you would be the first person to buy that.

[Ken]

No, so lazy. You can't even just use your finger to scroll. You have to push a button to scroll.

[Ryan]

That is just a new.

[Evan]

Well, you are on a treadmill.

[Ryan]

You're on the treadmill, you're like walking. You're trying to get a little movement and you want the screen to stay in one place still.

[Ken]

You can still use your finger to swipe.

[Evan]

It's kind of weird when you're like.

[Ryan]

You'Re walking and you slip.

[Evan]

Yeah, I don't know. I, I, I agree with what you're saying.

[Ken]

I feel like on a treadmill, short form, like TikToks are not something that would entertain me. Like I would want a longer form video where you can like actually look at.

[Evan]

I think TikTok kind of has a little bit of a bad rep. Very similar to how people who don't watch YouTube maybe look at it. They think like, oh, it's just all cat videos or like little like silly clips, like, which is kind of how it started. Because if you're not someone who uses YouTube, like that's maybe how you would get sent a clip before Instagram Reels. And TikTok. And I think TikTok is very similar now to how YouTube is where you're following someone more closely. It all just depends on your algorithm. But yeah, I mean if you're doing what what you're saying, Ken, just like bullshit content is getting some junk. Just fucking. You're just gambling almost.

[Ryan]

But the nice thing about to your point where you're like, I think a longer form thing is, would be better is when you're on the treadmill, most of the time you hate it. So like you're able to just continually get something new where like if you sit down to watch even, you know, a podcast or something longer, there might be this lull where then you focus back in on. You're like, oh man, I really hate the fact that I'm walking my 12, 3:30 right now. And you know them with the tick tock.

[Evan]

He's like, we mean 12.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Ben]

Ryan knows about the 123 30. I mean 12 incline, 3 speed, 30 minutes.

[Ryan]

30 minutes.

[Evan]

Okay. I was gonna say like hot girl workout walking On. On a treadmill seems kind of weird, like a waste of time, but. But if you're doing that, that makes sense that it would be very hard.

[Ryan]

Then 12, 3, 30 is a bad workout.

[Ken]

Get it in the winter. Just because it's like, it's. You can be kind of miserable to walk around in the winter, Ryan.

[Mike]

So I could see that getting clipped right there.

[Ryan]

Bet 12, 3, 30, bad workout.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And then it just goes into just like a dude.

[Evan]

When I'm on the treadmill, he's run.

[Mike]

As fast as he can.

[Evan]

I mean, it's like, if I spend five minutes on there running fast, like, I'm pretty gassed. Like, I'm not really concerned about, like, how am I gonna scroll for five minutes. You know, they say that.

[Ben]

I would say most treadmill runners, like, literally almost all of them spend more than five.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

You're probably on there for a real.

[Marketing Voice]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

At least 10, obviously, me being such a big workout guy. Now we're a couple weeks into the challenge. I know. So much information. So believe this, but they say in the gym today. Yeah.

[Evan]

You listened how that feel.

[Ryan]

You wanted to be like me.

[Mike]

Dude, you.

[Ryan]

You put on the same shirt as me.

[Evan]

Ryan starts telling you what to do in the gym.

[Ryan]

Tough. Well, I'm going tell you what to do in the gym, because they say when you run super fast, it triggers the stress hormone in your body because your. Your body thinks you're running from something, I. E. A tiger. So, like, it. It triggers the stress hormone, which would then assuming that you're running from something in danger, it needs to preserve its energy and its fat so then it doesn't burn. Like, your fat.

[Ben]

Storage is interesting.

[Ryan]

They say there's somebody that said it. I now said, that's super.

[Evan]

Wow.

[Mike]

Makes sense if you don't think about it.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Dude is like, little side note, but last night, I was helping Dalton film with the raptor. You know, film a little promo.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You make him hobble this morning.

[Ben]

I didn't do that, actually. So much unfolded. I just was supposed to, you know, hold the camera and run through the woods with him, and it's crazy.

[Mike]

Having a hard time, are you guys? Yeah.

[Ben]

So every time I'd like film, he's. He's supposed to be, like, kind of like, he's like a scared in the woods. I'm sure once I. Once we see it, we'll understand. But anyway, he's, like, running, and he's like, yeah, all right. You just kind of run alongside me and keep him. I don't Have a light. The lights on him and he's, like, sprinting. And I was like, why. Why are you running so fast? Like, don't you need to be, like, looking around like something's chasing you? It looks like you already saw the monster and you're running and you never want to look back. So then we're still. We get more running shots and he just sprinting. He's got his, like, head down like he's trying to win 100 meter dash. And I'm like, what are you doing, bro?

[Mike]

I'm not even. I'm not even. You're not even in the frame right now.

[Ben]

I know he's just sprinting. And then he. He had to, like, fake fall, and then it didn't look believable, so I was like, we're gonna need more, man. And he, like, real fell and busted his knee.

[Mike]

Yeah, dude, he's. Yeah, we're good.

[Ben]

And then also he's like, all right, we just need a. A couple shots. I know it's late, but a couple shots of the. The raptor kind of drifting through this mud puddle. I'm like, dad, it's going to get all dirty, dude. He's like, don't worry, I'll clean it. So then I just. Literally, I went for one donut. The windows are tinted. I couldn't see him, and I just peppered him.

[Ryan]

He loves that, though.

[Ben]

And the camera with the slimiest mud you've ever seen.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I was like, well, we'll get to.

[Ryan]

See the edit, which I'm excited for.

[Mike]

He came into my office and was like, telling me. He was like, this song. The lights running through the wood. And I was just like. I just cut him off, like, halfway through. And I was like, why are you telling me this right now? I don't have any notes or, like, changes to make. Just like, I just go and make it, bro. Like, I trust you. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna be like, yeah, yeah, but what if you, like, ran backwards through the woods?

[Ben]

I think that was coming across. Like, I was not stoked on his idea. Like, he was telling me the same thing. And I was like, yeah, yeah, sometimes.

[Ryan]

I trust the vision exactly.

[Ben]

And then my favorite part is that we. Jake needed a ride. So I was like, jake, help us shoot some night rollers. And then he starts telling the plan to Jake. And Jake's like, listen, man, Jake is.

[Mike]

Like, completely checked out. Speaking of Jake, he texted me, yeah.

[Ryan]

Why is he using your rap?

[Mike]

Yeah. He was like, hey, bro, we're Going to film a video, and one of our raptors fell through. Can I take it or take yours? And I was like, yeah, of course. I didn't really ask too many questions until, like, he came over and he started telling me what he was doing with it. And I think he's like. He's, like, full on, like, off roading it, really. But I was just like, dude, like, I don't care. Like, you're my boy. But also, Ryan just cost you $30,000 by blowing your truck up.

[Ryan]

I paid 15 of it back.

[Ken]

Yeah, in a roundabout way.

[Mike]

And I was just like, oh, damn. Like, I wonder if they're gonna, like, try and break my truck to, like, get even.

[Ben]

I wondered that too. I asked him and then he. He gave, like, a very. Like, it didn't seem like it was in the plans. He's like, oh. He's like, that would be funny. But I'm not even the one driving it. Tony is. And I was like, okay. That makes Tony.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, Tony's definitely.

[Mike]

Yeah, Tony, the guy paying the bill. Yeah. He wouldn't have any kind of anim.

[Evan]

I think Tony understands how, like, mechanics in a vehicle would work. Whereas, like, I think part of the reason Jake breaks so much shit is because he's just driving it wrong.

[Mike]

He just does a lot of shit.

[Evan]

Like, he's just doing too much, too.

[Mike]

Much at all times. Like, when we used to be, when we were kids, like, jumping the driveway on snowmobiles, Jake would be doing this, like.

[Evan]

Yeah, he's just, like, on there.

[Mike]

Like, he would, like, go, like, as fast as he possibly could and then, like, let off right at the jump and still case it. But he'd be, like, doing extra work with his body, like, like humping the bars, trying to, like, get a couple extra inches of air time. And it's like, why you do. Why you working so hard? Why. Why are you doing that? Like, I'd imagine that's how it is. Like, when he's, like, hooking up with a chick. Like, he's, like, bouncing around. He's doing the most, which is doing nothing.

[Ryan]

He's in one spot, and he's just flipping all around.

[Evan]

She's like, are what. What are we doing right now?

[Mike]

He's all sweaty and he's working super.

[Evan]

Hard, but just not doing anything.

[Ben]

Well, he also. He drives, like, vehicles. Like, they're electric, which, by that I mean he, like, puts it to the floor just expecting, like, always go. Even though he forgets, sometimes it has to shift. Sometimes he's in four Sometimes he's in two, but he just doesn't. He thinks about pedal go.

[Ken]

Well, he treats the throttle like a light switch. It's fully on or fully off.

[Ryan]

My favorite thing. Part of his problem is the double kick to get the car to downshift. He used to do it in his Jeep. You're just like driving along. He's like, watch this. And he goes. And the car goes. And then he punches it for a third time. And then it goes.

[Mike]

So, like, yeah, that's a pretty good example of it where you could just do it with your foot. Boom, boom. But he goes, watch. But he wants to get the full effect. Like, he's. He's such a showman.

[Ryan]

I know.

[Evan]

It's exaggerated motion. That's what it is.

[Mike]

There it is.

[Evan]

That is what it is.

[Ryan]

But he is good at it. Like, it's.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah. You know, he's giving it some gas when his whole freaking knee is coming up to his cheek and going down. Also, he's like the type of guy that, like, as soon as he wants to do something like music all the way off, air all the way off, windows down, even middle of winter, you're like, what are you doing right now?

[Ben]

The air all the way off is really accurate.

[Evan]

Doing those.

[Mike]

It's like, bro, I can watch you try and drive recklessly in the comfort of a 72 degree car. It doesn't have to be 54 degree in here.

[Ben]

Sorry, I couldn't think straight.

[Ryan]

That boy.

[Mike]

And then his seatbelt's dinging the whole time.

[Ryan]

So he does have your raptor, then. For how long? Because your raptor's kind of been like.

[Ken]

Raptor's been a work truck.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, we actually said that in the last pod, which is funny. It's just like. Keeps getting hoed out.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it is. I was trying to think of a term that isn't so derogatory for the amount of use and abuse your raptor is getting by other people.

[Ken]

I mean, my raptor got hold out this week, too.

[Ben]

So who hold it out?

[Ken]

Dalton's been driving it all week.

[Mike]

He pulled it up to the gym. And I thought Ken was pulling up to the gym. I literally. I was like, no way.

[Ben]

In the last video, when you were chasing Evan around in the Bronco, it was so funny, dude.

[Mike]

EVs kind of been so. Kind of been a little weasel towards you lately, Ken.

[Ken]

I swear, the last beginning of the year is kind of when he really, like, flipped a switch and started.

[Ben]

I think that was his New Year's resolution.

[Ryan]

Yeah, so, yeah, because he settled this beef with Dalton. Now he's trying to get a check from Ken, too.

[Mike]

I think that is a big part of it.

[Evan]

I don't think so.

[Mike]

I think he's going for the. The big man. Ken, I think you got to do something. Like, you got to retaliate.

[Ken]

I. I saw a few comments were saying that. So it's like, yeah, what do we get for ideas? I'm always open for.

[Mike]

Well, Ken, this is usually how it goes if you want to retaliate. Maybe you come up with a couple ideas, and then one of us can help you see them through.

[Evan]

Yeah, you could, like, poop on a plate and put under his bed.

[Ken]

Oh, well, that. That just add to the poop on the plate collection under there.

[Mike]

But you could poop in Saran Wrap and throw it at him.

[Evan]

Oh, too far. Too far.

[Ryan]

Okay, okay.

[Mike]

Relapse somewhere in between.

[Ken]

I'll come up with something, but cracked my rib.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Honestly, that was still, like. I know he didn't mean to, but. Fully aggressive.

[Mike]

No, I mean, he fully body slammed him. Yeah.

[Ben]

And then it just so happened that his elbow pile drove Ken's rib and crap.

[Mike]

So here's the issue is he's way too scrappy for you to beat doing any kind of physical.

[Ken]

Yeah, I know. And he just. He's a little meatball. You're never gonna win with him, so it's like, you got to do an actual prank on.

[Ben]

So this might be an intellectual battle.

[Evan]

I think also he's gonna use, like, if you're maybe going 50, he's probably gonna go 75 or 150. Yeah. So, like, it's tough to. To almost play that game with him. There's not really, like, the fun rough house. It's just like, we're.

[Mike]

We're going, you know, like, the sibling rivalry. One of the siblings is definitely going harder than the other. It's usually, like, the youngest, and then.

[Evan]

The other one ends up.

[Ken]

One of them is just trying to have fun. The other one's, like, actually like, oh, we got it. We're going to.

[Mike]

It's like he has something to prove.

[Evan]

Someone ends up crying, and it's normally Ken.

[Mike]

There was also a lot of comments in the last video that people thought that we went too far by taking Mike's motor out of his dirt bike.

[Ben]

That was cracking up at the comments.

[Evan]

I mean, you can take the motor out of it and put it back in your bike.

[Ben]

I don't know. I was serious. I don't know how.

[Mike]

I mean, you could ask Big wrench.

[Ben]

I'm going to.

[Evan]

Don't. Yeah, but he's don't like, how many other bikes.

[Ben]

That's what you said last time.

[Ken]

How many other bikes do you have available?

[Ben]

You don't just walk in to, like, Steve Hamilton's collection and say, we're going to take that motor because you have so many cars.

[Evan]

But he uses them.

[Ben]

I guarantee you he has cars that get less used than that dirt bike.

[Mike]

I doubt it.

[Ken]

When was the last time you use that dirt bike then?

[Ben]

Last summer. But that wasn't the point. That wasn't that you wrote it or.

[Ken]

Somebody else wrote it.

[Ben]

I can't believe we're doing this again. I was just trying to explain it. Like, you guys, like, don't have the leg to stand on that. You think you do. And that's what the comments were about.

[Mike]

No, I think it makes perfect sense. But anyway, Dirt bike in shop. Need motor.

[Evan]

Yep.

[Mike]

Let's take that one. All right.

[Ben]

That's fine. I got some stuff on my sleeve then. That's fine.

[Ryan]

I hope it's buying me a new Raptor because I. That's what happened to me. They went. Look four wheeler. They went motor out, new motor in.

[Mike]

But now you have.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

With an R6 in it.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And Mike, now you have a snowmobile with your dirt bike motor in it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, exactly. It would have been a dick move to take it out and not do anything.

[Ben]

Yeah, I know.

[Mike]

I just really don't see the problem. Also, you have a cooler cart with your dirt bike motor.

[Evan]

Yeah, if it makes.

[Mike]

No I better.

[Ben]

I was not like, sweating the cooler car.

[Evan]

1. If it makes you feel better, like, you can say the cooler cart's yours. And also you can say that that mini snowmobile is yours. Like, that's cool with me. I know.

[Ken]

Like something snowmobile just needs a little work on the gearing and it'll. It'll rip.

[Evan]

It's his thing. He can do what he wants with it.

[Ben]

Yes. You're not helping.

[Mike]

I don't know. It seems kind of. It like, makes sense to me.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's why. That's what's insane to me, Mike.

[Mike]

I sank my dirt bike to the bottom of the lake, dude.

[Ben]

To the bottom of the lake. Guess how deep it was.3ft deep.

[Mike]

Still in the water.

[Evan]

Pop.

[Ben]

His motor went under.

[Mike]

Cool.

[Ben]

I'll sink my dirt bike.

[Mike]

Well, luckily different.

[Evan]

He has a couple other left still.

[Ben]

If he wants to sink one, because that's a different scenario.

[Mike]

Don't be just recklessly sinking your dirt Bikes, we need those motors.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah. But I thought it was just entertaining because, like, I just never get mad. So people, like, almost didn't know how to take it.

[Ryan]

They were like, damn, they really got them this time.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I was happy a lot of people had my back, which was just nice. But it was just, it was funny because, like, I. It's so rare that an episode pans out like that. The only thing that pissed me off watching it back was when, like, I don't like. No, you don't like seeing yourself mad. It was. Honestly, the whole video was super entertaining and I was playing into it, but it was when CJ goes, hey, so like, how much fast do you think this thing is? And I just. I look so angry. I'm like, it's not slower. I just look so angry at that very moment. And I'm like, yeah, it gave me the.

[Evan]

We took your dirt bike motor, the wrenches spent a month building it, and it ended up being the exact same speed as the kids motor, just way fucking louder. Just because of the gearing. Yeah, it was crazy when you're like, dude, I'm in fifth gear the whole time. I'm starting out in fifth gear, I'm stopping in fifth gear and I'm restarting in fifth gear and I'm at the frickin rev limiter.

[Ben]

Yeah. And just, just I. Yeah. I don't know if it was faster than the stock one. But what I do like about it is that we did our research that nobody asked us to do. Now we know, we know that you can put a dirt bike motor in that snowmobile. It actually fits well. And that the gearing is an issue, but it could work.

[Mike]

I think it's pretty sweet. On the bright side, I mean, we'll probably just pull the motor out of that and put it into something else. And then you can be like, oh, look, I got a snowmobile. And whatever we end up putting it in.

[Ryan]

Do you have like a spreadsheet of your stuff?

[Ben]

I just had to do a personal financial statement. So technically. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like, it's gotta be a lot of stuff.

[Evan]

What do you value your junk at? Those kind of things?

[Ben]

I think it was like it came out to like 181,000 in junk. Yeah. And I. I valued them all pretty low.

[Ryan]

Wow, good.

[Ben]

I mean, see, in junk, I guess, like, that includes my, like, vehicles.

[Evan]

Drift car and stuff.

[Ben]

Yeah. Some of it junk, some of it not.

[Mike]

Congrats, Mike. That's pretty sick.

[Ben]

Yeah, it's pretty heavy. I just, you know, hope I get a chance to ride it all this.

[Mike]

Was there enough lines?

[Ben]

Almost not. I figured it was enough.

[Evan]

You know what you should do? Like those kids on Instagram that put like, 2017 KX 2502007 Chevy, 2500. Like, you should put all of your vehicles in your Instagram bio.

[Ben]

That would be pretty good. I have to do that just because it'd be funny. Also, there's the trend of the, like, nice car, what did it cost you? You know, you have your picture of your current supercar or whatever, and then you show all the pictures of the other cars, which I sold to get there. You sold to get there? Which I like. If you actually sold them to get there, then it's like. Then it's cool. Some. Some of them you just. It's a car you used to have that you didn't technically sell to get there. But anyway, I thought it'd be funny to do that. Like, nice car. What did it cost you? And then I, like, show all my other cars and I'm like, just kidding. I don't sell anything. It's just at the end, just a picture.

[Ryan]

We just do a special video next year, Money Mike's Vehicle Tour. Because it's just like, it's too long for ours.

[Ben]

If we. If we could come up with a good twist for it to run through them fast, I think that'd be a really funny bit.

[Mike]

Mike, I was watching Instagram the other day, and I noticed that you had come. You was. You had the top comment on this video. And it was of this kid driving through a high school parking lot, and he hit a snowbank.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God.

[Mike]

His Honda, Jetta, Accord or whatever it was. He jumped it over the snow bank. And then the next shot was like, basically a tow truck towing it away. And Mike's comment was the top comment. And it said, this would have been really funny if you actually filmed the shot, which is hilarious because, like, it was like the car coming in and it was like half of the car. And then when it hit the snow bank, you could just see, like, snow fly and then it pan down to the ground. It was like, the worst.

[Ben]

This would have been actually sick if you filmed it. And it got like 6,000 likes.

[Mike]

Yeah, I got a bunch of likes. And then I. I saw that had a bunch of replies underneath it. And I wanted. I wanted to see what these replies were. And it was like 45 people just saying, money, Mike. Really?

[Ben]

The one of them was my favorite one that made me laugh out loud. Currency, Michael.

[Ryan]

Mike, you're kind of a. Kind of like a hater on Instagram because you told me about that. The Baby Gronk.

[Ben]

Yeah, that one was probably my biggest hater moment in the past. He. It was a collab post with this, this other guy who purposely talks really annoying on Instagram. It's like rage bait, essentially. Like, he talks annoying so that people comment, hey, I hate your voice. So I was more like coming after him, but he's just like, I didn't know Baby Gronk was from Minnesota. And then he's like, Baby Gronk, is. Is he the king of Minnesota? Do you need to report to Baby Gronk before you enter Minnesota? And so then I just commented sending hate from mn. And then he commented immediately like, I didn't even know his collab posts on it. I don't like 14. Yeah, he commented on my engagement post, said sending happiness from Minnesota. And I was like, dang. I kind of got straight up ratioed almost. Yeah. Essentially I got Big Dog because like, he was just like, I'm gonna just kill him with kindness. And so then I was like, I deleted my comment.

[Evan]

Damn.

[Ben]

Yeah. Like, I don't need my comment on there. If he's gonna be nice, I don't need it. And then I was like, the comment was at the other guy anyway.

[Ryan]

Damn.

[Ben]

I don't even know like, what's a Baby Gronk?

[Evan]

You know, the baby is a baby. Rob Gronkowski.

[Mike]

Right.

[Evan]

It's controversial because people are saying that like the dad is like putting him in this position and he's kind of.

[Mike]

I've seen his, I've seen his Snapchat and there ain't no way that 14 year old kid is running that Snapchat the way that it is.

[Ben]

That's kind of what else I was getting at. Like, I don't think he's running it.

[Evan]

I hope the best for the kid, but he's just always going to be referred to as Baby Gronk.

[Ryan]

No, they're trying to change his name now.

[Evan]

They're trying to just Gronk, Medium Gronk.

[Ryan]

They're aging him up.

[Evan]

Yeah, but like, just have the kid focus on playing fucking football and if he gets good enough, then start doing the thing. But like you put in the carriage.

[Ben]

Before the horse here, he's got grills.

[Evan]

Yeah, I know. I'm sure the kid's getting money if.

[Mike]

Yeah, he's got to be.

[Ben]

For sure. I like that Persona. I don't like, you know, it's like, I don't respect content, but I do respect the hustle. As in, like, I don't really know what he's doing, but it's same for. I just saw a resurface of, like. You guys remember Lil Tay?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

She's, like, older now. I don't know how old, but she. She was like. She's calling out bad baby. Like, still. Keep in mind, it's been. Say she's 17. It's been almost 10 years, since she was 9. Calling out bad baby. And she's still calling out bad baby. And she's like. She won't even talk to my face. Like, just going in. And I was like, man, it's nice to see that these Internet Personas, like, can still provide entertainment. Whatever.

[Mike]

You remember Long Neck?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Or why.

[Ben]

Why?

[Mike]

Went to jail.

[Ben]

Yeah. Wide next out of the picture.

[Evan]

He was in jail. I don't know.

[Ken]

I think he's out again.

[Mike]

Ken, can you look up the new law?

[Ben]

It's.

[Mike]

It was put in place in California, but it's. It's for, like, family creators that have children in their content. I think, like, 60% of the revenue has to go into a trust for the kid. It's probably a good idea because they're looking at it like, these kids are the reason for the Family Channel's success.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And they're not obviously getting anything.

[Evan]

I think you got. It's such a weird dynamic, obviously. Like, you've seen what happens with child actors. It seems like it's kind of a 50, 50 shot if they turn out good or bad.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

I think that family content creators, the children are gonna be on that 50, 50 flip of the coin. I just saw they had, like, some kind of documentary on.

[Ben]

I watched it.

[Evan]

What is it? What was it called?

[Ben]

A Devil in the Family.

[Evan]

Yeah. And what was the YouTube channel?

[Ben]

Gosh, I already forgot. Like, I wasn't super familiar with it.

[Mike]

Oh, it was the Ruby.

[Ben]

Frank is the mom.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

What was the name?

[Ryan]

And I guess she was like, wasn't eight passengers, right?

[Evan]

Eight passengers. That's what it was. Yeah.

[Ben]

They would show some of the uncut stuff, and she's, like, filming with the kid. And then after seven years of getting a camera shoved in your face, the kids are just kind of like, I'm over this. And she's like, why are you. Why are you sad right now? You need to play into the camera.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

If you're not. If you don't. Don't look happy.

[Ryan]

Fake it.

[Ben]

And just stuff like this.

[Mike]

Raw footage.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And it was, like, very mean.

[Evan]

And like she was like abusing them as well. But then she had this, you know, she's putting all this, this videos out to the world of like this happy family. Yeah, it's super interesting. I remember there was like another situation that happened years ago where like.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Taking the kids.

[Mike]

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

[Evan]

I don't remember the channel's name but.

[Mike]

For this like documentary though, like how did they obtain all the footage? Like think did they sue? Like did the kids sue?

[Evan]

Probably a subpoena.

[Ben]

I think they ended up against the.

[Mike]

Kids sued like the mom or like.

[Evan]

No, I think that is this the law enforcement got involved and then they started investigating more than likely but and.

[Ben]

I think she ended up getting caught because the two kids that were 18 finally went forward.

[Mike]

Oh, okay.

[Ben]

But yeah, then after like she got actually like fully canceled and then she like basically joined a cult. Oh yeah, like sounds about right. Mormon spiritual cult.

[Mike]

So thing what happened to her now? Like where is she at now? I don't know.

[Ben]

I should have finished it.

[Ryan]

R which is one of the kids names. The mom and Hildebrandt had bound his arms and feet to weights on the ground that restricted his movements. They found handcuffs, wrists and ankles. They had like a safe room in the basement that was super, super scary looking.

[Ben]

And actually she originally just got canceled.

[Mike]

From when it came.

[Ben]

They're just making a video and then the son he's like yeah, parents finally gave me my bedroom back. I've been sleeping on a beanbag in the basement for seven months. And everyone's like bro, you got your bedroom taken away for seven months. It's pretty aggressive. And then from there is she just. It just went from like normal to just fully canceled. But I mean you can't make your way.

[Ryan]

It doesn't sound like we know.

[Ken]

So California law it's any content creators that have minors in at least 30% of their content must set aside 65% of the gross earnings trust account that can be accessed when the child is in considered an adult.

[Ryan]

It's kind of like what Connor Price told us about how they're you know, they started doing things to like protect these kids from basically working and man.

[Mike]

A lot of those kids are gonna make a ton of money.

[Ryan]

That's what I do want to not skip by the baby Gronk now known as Madden thing. Like if he obviously probably didn't try to start being famous and then did and then now is just working towards this character that he's built. He just said he bought a jet. But regardless it looks like, he's having a ton of fun. He's cool and he's young.

[Evan]

I don't think he's the one driving the, the ship though. I think it's. It's his dad.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

That's what the controversy is about.

[Ryan]

I hope that he. That whatever's happening. But if he truly does like it and he's having fun.

[Mike]

Hold on.

[Evan]

This kid just does look like he's having fun. I will agree with that.

[Ryan]

And this is. Is him. I just don't want it to like us come across like this kid for being different and not. And doing something and you know, whatever. Like I, I think if, if he likes it, then good. I. I hope he. It just seems to do it.

[Evan]

Dad is the one.

[Ryan]

Yeah. If that's, if that's true.

[Mike]

I think that kids like risen up chicks too. Like, that's pretty cool for a young kid, you know, fake though. You think so? For sure.

[Evan]

You think he's rising up. Livy Dunn or whoever the he makes.

[Ryan]

Dude, we are way too on the Internet. Baby girl caught rising up living. Done. Like, I mean, yeah.

[Mike]

But regardless, I guess I wasn't. I. I wasn't talking about that. I was. I more along the lines of saw videos of him like on Snapchat and a bunch of like other like little younger girls being like, I didn't know that was real or not.

[Ryan]

That's what I mean.

[Mike]

Like rising up living.

[Evan]

I just think if you're going to live this Persona, you gotta, you gotta like. It's tough to tell when a kid is actually good at a sport. And if he has like, you know, because if he's just bigger than the rest of the kids and he's playing football against some other fifth graders or however old he is, like, it's tough to tell if he's good, but like, dude, once he's in high school, that kid better be good.

[Ben]

I was gonna keep it going. I was like, speaking of risen and kids, the Rizzler is hilarious. I think he. Dude, I think the Rizzler is just genuinely funny. He's not, he's not really like playing a character. He, he's playing into it now because everyone's like, you're the Rizzler. But like, he's just a funny kid. And also, I guess I'll just say it beforehand. No hate, but big justice and whatever. Like, they're, they're just like, they're kind of one in the same. They're just not as funny. Like the Rizzler owns those guys. Yeah, he's just like, Mike has just.

[Mike]

Got his finger on the pulse. Dude.

[Ben]

Dude, I. Yeah, I do. I. I love it. I guess so. Yeah. I guess I was never really, like, hating on Baby Gronk. I just, like, was. I just didn't understand the content. I guess it's not a kind of.

[Ken]

Content I can consume. I just, I see that and it's just immediately swipe off surprising.

[Ryan]

That's a good. Actually leads to a good question, Ken. What kind of content do you consume and.

[Ben]

And respect?

[Ken]

I don't even know.

[Evan]

Like, the news.

[Mike]

Ben Shapiro.

[Evan]

Ben Shapiro. Politics.

[Ken]

The politics is pretty interesting, but it's like, you can only watch so much of that in a week.

[Evan]

And then he watches. He's watching like, Chevy just released a new update on the Impala.

[Mike]

No, like, he does. You're deep in the Reddit forms. Mike is. Yeah. It's so interesting. Like, there's different sides of the Internet that you can be on. And like, just within our group, we have two people that are on polar opposite. We'll say three. Evan's kind of weird about it too, but you are, like, on like the total meme side of the Internet, right? You got your finger on the pulse of like, just social trends in the meme world, and then you're always sending, I guess, just like, things that I. I fully just don't understand. And then Ken over here is on the side of the Internet for more informative and maybe more like news and political.

[Ken]

There's so many times I'm like, trying to find something, and then it's like, there's always a Reddit thread that pops up and it's like, I'll just search through here and see what people said.

[Mike]

So, yeah, I mean, very interesting way to go about the Internet. Two different, but also different strokes for different folks.

[Ben]

Reddit's the best.

[Mike]

You think so?

[Ben]

Yeah, because it's. It's just always seems like genuine. You go on Reddit, hey, what should I do if. Should I buy this? And then people are like, just honest. It's like the best version of what Yelp is. Like, Yelp sucks ass and it's probably fake and people pay to be a part of it. And Yelp reviews are just dumb. Reddit reviews are good.

[Mike]

I had no idea that you were so passionate about Yelp reviews, Mike.

[Ken]

Yelp is all fake.

[Ben]

You remember the south park episode on it. You remember the south park episode on Yelp? Yeah, that. That was a good one.

[Evan]

What happens?

[Ben]

Like, they. They basically. They use Yelp to, like, threaten they Go in there and they're like, I'll give you a bad review. And then it turns into this whole thing. Like, they can get the restaurant to do anything they want for them as long as they give them a good Yelp review.

[Mike]

I think a lot of business owners do take that very seriously.

[Ben]

I agree. Yeah. You know, it also just hurts in general when you have five stars to get. And if you give me five and you give me five and Ryan gives me one and Ken gives me three, I'm already down to, like, 3.2 stars.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

So.

[Ben]

And then people see that, and they're like, it's not that good. Yeah.

[Ken]

Even though it's a numbers game, though, like, just because one person. Well, that's experience. Like, there's going to be 20 others be looked at, and there's also going to be 50 others that don't even do that.

[Mike]

That's why Money Mike's got to give his clients the best experience. Yeah, dude, Mike, you could be a financial advisor, but, like, it'd be like an inside joke for, like, a husband to be like, honey, I think we should hire a financial advisor.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And then the wife be like, all right, well, I don't really understand anything. So I trust you, right? What's going on with the money? And then they hire Mike. Right. And Mike is like, yeah. For this year's write offs, Steve's gonna need to buy a new snowmobile. And actually, if you buy a new dirt bike this year and then you trade it in next year on the new one, you'll save money. Okay, well, I guess Money Mike, you know we trust him, right, honey? He's like, oh, yeah, Money Mike's the best in the business.

[Ben]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mike]

You might actually have a business there.

[Ben]

Specialize in boy math. Yeah, yeah. Buying $16,000 snowmobile so you don't have to rent for the two trips that you go out.

[Ryan]

Yeah. The one trip, the three days.

[Evan]

And.

[Mike]

And Mike just has, like, you know, he's done it enough, and he's just convincing enough that, you know, maybe they're having a disagreement.

[Ben]

I know what works.

[Mike]

You know what does it? Let's go into Money Mike's. And Money Mike just lays it all out on paper. And it's just like, you know, this is definitely the better move. I think all you need, Mike, is.

[Ben]

Just a storefront and clients with really confused wives.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Don't look into it.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I just don't have time for another business, boys. You keep coming up with all these great ideas.

[Mike]

That was a pretty Good one. Between that one and the hot dog stand, you'll be booming.

[Ben]

I think I'm gonna bring the hot dog stand to the wedding, but I won't be able to man it, so that's gonna have to.

[Mike]

Dude. Yeah, you gotta do that.

[Ken]

Expanding.

[Mike]

It'll be fun.

[Ben]

So I just. Everyone.

[Mike]

Everyone at Mike's wedding shows up and there's just hot dogs to eat.

[Ryan]

Okay, that was hot dogs for dinner.

[Ben]

Aggressive hot dogs for the groom's dinner.

[Evan]

Whatever the it's called.

[Mike]

And then like after the dance. Yeah, don't worry, we got snacks coming in for those that are staying late on the dancing floor.

[Ben]

Hot dogs, mini weenies.

[Evan]

They're like the little candy weenies. Remember those. Those hot dog, little gummies, the whole.

[Ryan]

Like Mike's got a hot dog in his back pocket the whole time. You like when you go to pull out the ring, you're like, oh, sorry.

[Mike]

That'd actually be really funny. That's cool. What else do you got planned for your wedding? Like, other.

[Ben]

Other stuff. I got a. A dj. I bought a photo booth.

[Mike]

Who you got? How'd you get a dj?

[Ben]

Just hired him.

[Mike]

Is he like a normal wedding dj, though?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Is it Oreo says go?

[Ben]

No, that would have been cool.

[Ryan]

He does weddings.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Ben]

I didn't actually know that.

[Ken]

Did you buy the photo booth or just schedule the rent?

[Ben]

I bought it, Mike.

[Ken]

You bought it?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Mike, why didn't you hire Twin Sick?

[Ben]

I didn't even think about it until right now.

[Mike]

You should hit them up.

[Ben]

That would be pretty dude money.

[Mike]

Mike needs Twin Sick at his wedding. They is our boys. DJs. Go. They're killing it.

[Ben]

Well, I shouldn't even say they might go too hard. Like they would go too hard in a good way. That is. They would be like 10 times what any wedding DJ ever would be.

[Ryan]

Just because lasers fire.

[Ben]

I mean, they. They throw some good part rave parties, like basically on the nightly.

[Mike]

Yeah. So I think you should hit them up.

[Ben]

I hit up. I hit up my buddy Abe and because I wanted to have a friend do it and he's just like, I don't know if I can swing the pto. I already have another wedding that month. And I was like, ah, all right. But Twin Sec would be sick.

[Mike]

Yeah. Just make sure that they're not doing like the whole wedding dj ymca.

[Ben]

Well, no, yeah, that's. We gave them stipulations. Yeah. Like no cotton eye Joe. Like none of that.

[Evan]

So.

[Ryan]

Damn.

[Ben]

We have like. Or, you know, I guess if the people want it. Sure. I Just don't want. I just don't want them to rip the songs that everyone's like, classic.

[Mike]

I mean, worst case, you could always have Justin get up on there and plug in his.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Evan]

And then blow the speakers out. Burn the place down.

[Ben]

Another thing is. Is that we requested not to have it. Is that I'm not a big fan of the DJ at your wedding emceeing, like, your entire wedding. Basically, this dude you have, you don't know. Or chick. You don't know them. I'm not saying they're not friendly or good at it, but they're all like, all right, this is happening next, and we're announcing this. And here comes so and so. And it's like, he doesn't know these people either. So, like, it doesn't. It seems like they get way too much mic time for, you know, you can have.

[Mike]

Do it. I think you just need, like, Jeff. You should have Jeff do yours.

[Ben]

Yeah. When it comes to, like, addressing the people, it should be people that. That we know.

[Ryan]

Yeah, That I know.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

It's a really good point, actually.

[Ben]

Yeah. So it's like, nothing against the dj. Like, they're there to play music and if another.

[Ryan]

And stick to your DJ booth.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Spinny boy.

[Ben]

Stop speaking.

[Evan]

They get out of line. Mike marches up there. Yeah.

[Ben]

Oh, no, he's talking.

[Evan]

Oh, he's having a word with him. Everything changes. The whole program turns around real quick.

[Ryan]

They shake hands. He slips them a hot dog instead of money.

[Ben]

Oh, he's a hot dog.

[Mike]

Sorry. There's a couple hashtags. Sorry.

[Evan]

Finish your wedding, Mike.

[Ben]

July 25th. It's a Friday wedding. That's about all the fun stuff I have. So maybe I have to get a bouncy castle from Grandpa Ron or something.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, he would. He would bring one for sure.

[Evan]

It's Grandpa Ron's birthday today, actually.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Evan]

82.

[Ryan]

Holy.

[Mike]

I'm glad that.

[Evan]

82.

[Ben]

Cheers to more life.

[Mike]

Yeah, he. He actually called me when I was on my way here, but I had to go to the bathroom so bad I couldn't answer it because I was just like. I was frantically trying to pull over.

[Evan]

He didn't say happy birthday to him?

[Mike]

No. I'm glad because I'm sure he was just calling. Just a. I don't know what he was calling about.

[Evan]

He was probably like, it's 10 o' clock and Ben hasn't called me yet to wish me happy birthday. Maybe he expects me to call him.

[Mike]

To be fair, I saw him on Wednesday, got dinner with him. People Kept coming up. When I'm with Grandpa Ron, they come up as if Grandpa Ron's one of the other Sea Boys. And this kid was like, I love your guys's videos. And. Yeah. And Grandpa Ron was like, oh, thanks. And it was just so great.

[Ryan]

God, I love Grandparon.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Where were you guys at?

[Mike]

Doolittles, dude. I'm actually fired up for Mike's wedding, though. I just want you to, like, keep Money Mike in this thing and make it, like, a spectacle. Like, if you don't. Money Mike, your wedding. What are you doing?

[Ben]

It's hard to say, like, what. Yeah, like, what the definition of that is because it can get out of hand so fast.

[Evan]

Oh, for sure.

[Ryan]

Have you noticed that things are, like, double the price just because it's a wedding? Yeah, like, when you get to, like, tent rentals and that, like, they just charge more.

[Ben]

Yeah, I remember, like, well, basically we were getting set up for the tent rental and they can put a floor in. They were going to. They quoted the. For a floor for the entire tent, and it was $18,000.

[Evan]

Holy.

[Ryan]

Put down a floor and take it away.

[Ben]

Yeah, I guess it's, you know, it's like the floor is probably the tents, you know, probably like as big as this shop. So it's. It's a lot of floor to put down and take up, but I'm just like, we'll just stand on grass like most people do when they do the tent wedding.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

For $18,000.

[Ben]

Like that.

[Mike]

That's crazy. What.

[Evan]

What is this wedding? Can you. Can you explain what is this going to cost, you know, yet?

[Mike]

I would.

[Evan]

Do you have, like, a limit that you put in place? I would not even have a budget.

[Ken]

Three bucks a square foot.

[Ben]

It's right now probably have like 40k into it and probably looking at 60 total. 65.

[Evan]

I mean, that's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. But yeah.

[Ben]

Right.

[Mike]

I think.

[Evan]

Yeah, it's like, crazy. Crazy.

[Ben]

You know what? I think the worst thing to hear is someone who's got married and then they're like. They, like. I don't even ask them. They just kind of say it. They're like, yeah. You know, after doing it all, like, man, was it an awesome day, but could have, you know, put a down payment on a house for that. Right. I've heard that kind of scenario more. More often than you think.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Oh, don't tell me that.

[Ryan]

There is a slight, like. But you've already done it. Like, you got the experience and you go, oh, okay. Well, yeah, I wish it had been spent a little less, but, like, when you haven't done something, it's like buying a stand up jet Ski or something like that. You're like, oh, I, you know, I probably didn't like to do it. I wouldn't do it again. But you had to do it once to figure out, you know.

[Ben]

Yeah, exactly. Like, I overpaid for. Yeah. For this toy or experience. And.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And it was great. But.

[Ryan]

Oh, I paid to fly first class. I wouldn't do it again. But when they brought the meal out, it was nice, you know?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

It's also like, your fiance has expensive taste and your money, Mike.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So it's a pretty gnarly combo in.

[Ryan]

That Chris Humphrey Humphreys and Kim Kardashian not having a fancy wedding.

[Ben]

Yeah, right. So that's why I really was never in the cards. I, like, I was the one saying that she's like, I don't know if she's joking, but should we just get eloped? No, that's not an option.

[Mike]

Money, Mike, doesn't get a low.

[Ben]

That's lame. So, yeah, we're gonna have a good time. I don't know. I mean, like, I think we should film it.

[Mike]

Gotta have it. Gotta recoup the money somehow.

[Ben]

Yeah. Have it be like a. Like a little David Dobrik bit or something where we're just like, having good times.

[Evan]

And at the end, I would want to do the same thing if I was one getting married. But, like, you don't have to post it. And I mean, the only reason I.

[Ben]

Wouldn'T want you, something really bad happened.

[Evan]

Yeah, but at the end of the day, I'm just saying, like, if you want to, like, just keep it private, whatever. But at the end of the day, you got footage of like that day or doing whatever, which I think is cool, Right.

[Ryan]

Especially with how good, like, if Dalton does it. Like, if you hire a wedding videographer, you're gonna get one thing, right? And if you hire Dalton, well, that's what I think. You're gonna get something else. You're gonna get like a real thing that in 20 years, 40 years, you go back and go like, oh, look, I. My grandpa or my, you know, mom talking about something, right? Like a wedding videographer's gonna walk up with a whole gimbal and go, like, you know, are you excited to see the bride? And they're gonna go, yep. Wow, I bet she's gonna be beautiful. But you're gonna get Dalton come out and go, like, what do you Think about Mike's hot dogs, you know, and, like, real things.

[Mike]

So I think it'd be like the authentic. Authentic and raw version of what you would expect to a Seaboy's wedding to be like.

[Ben]

Yes. And so I'm more interested in seeing that. Of course I'm interested in seeing the wedding video.

[Ryan]

I think you got a cover ball. You have.

[Mike]

You have, like, a videographer and photographer and stuff.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Coming. But yeah, just. Yeah. Make sure that they're just, like, not getting in the shot. Obviously, when we got D. Right. Run around. D's gonna be shirtless and suspenders. Little bow tie. Have a little bow tie on. Are you gonna have it? Is there, like, a dress code? Like a tux dress code? Like, super, super faint.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Black tie wedding now?

[Ben]

No, but it could some.

[Mike]

I never thought because everyone, like, looks a lot better. Like, it's definitely, like, a lot more formal. Right. Which is why they do it. But yeah, it's like the people that aren't about that, like, like, said, say, Evan is like, this wedding already sucks.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

This is a terrible wedding. They're making me wear a suit or a tux.

[Ben]

Exactly. Well, I just wouldn't want to put anyone in a position where they're like, I have to go buy or rent.

[Mike]

Because that's usually how it is.

[Ben]

Yeah. Tux. Because those are the guys or girls. I guess if there's a dress that don't have the dress to begin with or the tux. I don't know. I just hope we have lots of fun. And I'm not gonna drink for it because everyone that said, like, everyone says it goes by like that. So it's like, if I was drinking, it would probably go by like that.

[Mike]

You're gonna just get insanely high.

[Ben]

I'm just gonna eat a bunch of hot dogs.

[Evan]

I think that's a good move, Mike.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, I. I definitely can see the perk of it because I've seen when grooms get a little too drunk.

[Ben]

Right.

[Ryan]

And normally they always hold it together until the time when it's acceptable.

[Evan]

But you don't have time travel.

[Ben]

I'm not worried. Yeah.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I'm not worried about, like, doing anything, but it's just like, why would you want to, like.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Waste.

[Ben]

Yeah. Make the time go any faster.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You'll probably already be having a great time no matter what, dude.

[Ben]

So I'm like, four months sober now, and time moves slower. Time moves really fast. Yeah. When you're five drinks deep, time moves much faster. Your night kind of goes from 8:30 to midnight really fast. And then when you're sober.

[Ryan]

That's true.

[Ben]

Probably my thing. One of my favorite parts.

[Evan]

Like, time goes fast when you're doing something you're enjoying. But, like, if. You're like, if. No, but, like, when I was. When I'm at home and I'm. Obviously, I don't. I'm not really drinking either. But, like, I only have four hours till I need to go to bed. Like, I want to do all this stuff. Like, say it's like, Saturday. But, like, if I was at a bar or I had. I was getting. You know, for some reason, I was in a spot where I'm not drinking. It's like a social spot. Those four hours, I'm like, this cannot go any.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Any slower.

[Evan]

It's so boring. Yeah. So boring. Being sober at a bar.

[Mike]

Cj, all of Nashville.

[Evan]

Yeah. That was so. Alex, I'm sorry, but I had not. It was not fun. It was not fun. Which. I mean, I wasn't drinking.

[Mike]

It's like literal torch.

[Evan]

If you were drinking, obviously, it would have been a blast. But, like, it was. It was literally torture. Like, it was so. Like, I was just like, all right, only two more days, and then I can hop on this plane and go home. Like, I'm only 5k into this or however. I didn't even know how much guys, I. But I didn't look. But it was a lot of money. I know I'm paying for all this.

[Ben]

And Post Malone tickets. That was.

[Ryan]

Say, you did a great job. Not bringing down the vibe.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I can tell that you weren't having anything.

[Mike]

I mean, all you had to do is look at him for more than 30 seconds to realize he's miserable, though. I mean, I do that because I spend every single day with you.

[Evan]

I was doing my best not to bring down the. The vibe.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

No, you did a great job.

[Mike]

Well, I didn't blame you either. I was like, yeah.

[Ryan]

No, I couldn't do it.

[Mike]

The worst part is just dealing with drunk people.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

They suck. They just talk about.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Especially.

[Mike]

It's just not fun, man.

[Ben]

I used to be the one who's like, dude, like, if you're not gonna drink, like, DD for us, obviously, like, it's not even any skin off your back. But it is. Which I actually really enjoy dding. Like, if I'm not drinking, yes, I'll do it. But it's like when we're in Florida and it's four nights in a row. Yeah. Then it gets on so boring.

[Mike]

Like, I enjoy hanging out with you guys when we're like this. Like, this is fun, right? But then as soon as you're the only one sober, it's like you're not even a part of what?

[Evan]

You're not a part of it.

[Mike]

So it's not like you're hanging out with them. It's not really like you're spending time with your friends in, like, the same way that you would if you were all sober or you were just drunk.

[Evan]

And it doesn't need to be that way, but at least for me, that is how it is. That is how it is. And that's. Obviously, there's plenty of people out there that can be like, you kidding me?

[Ben]

No.

[Evan]

I'm still just as much in it sober, not drinking as, you know, if I was. But for me, I don't. It's just not enjoyable. Like, it just is not.

[Ben]

I like having those, like, consciousness moments, though. I'll literally be sitting there, you know, like, we're out at a bar, everyone's drunk. I'm not. And I'm like. And then I'll like, wait, I can still have fun. And then I'm just, like, back in it. But I have to, like, consciously tell.

[Evan]

Myself, that's tough, though, because then once they get to a certain point, like, they're not really talking about anything. It's just more so, like, everyone's kind of vibing on being drunk, and it's just gibberish. So you're just kind of like.

[Ken]

And then they progressively start getting louder and louder until it's, oh, yeah, damn near yelling. And you're just, like, over it. Please be quiet for just 10 seconds.

[Ryan]

Fuck, dude, I can't wait. Wait to be that guy. You give me all hyped up. Have a couple beers, dude. Talk about some gibberish yap with the homies.

[Mike]

I. I was dding these guys and the channel 199 Nitro Crew 2 weeks ago.

[Ryan]

Oh, that was a long day, too.

[Mike]

And it was a long day, but, I mean, dude, it all was worth it. When we got back and CJ goes, let's play pool. I was like, yeah, that was, like, stone sober. And this dude's hammered, right? Goes 100 bucks.

[Evan]

I was like, no, I think you came to me probably and said, $100.

[Mike]

We run $100 game. I swamp him. He goes, double or nothing. Hundred dollar game. Swamp them again. No way that you beat me three times in a row. Swamp him again. And then he ran out of money.

[Evan]

You know what's Crazy is he didn't even feel bad taking the money from someone.

[Mike]

No, I didn't feel bad.

[Evan]

Out of their mind. You know what I say to people, like when I win bets against you or any of my friends, and we normally do 100 bets. I. I was just telling grandparent about.

[Ben]

It the other day.

[Evan]

Oh, did that feel good? Take taking that hundred dollars from Ben when we were talking about the Super Bowl? I was like, not really. You know, it feels a lot better taking it from, like, a casino or someone, you know, taking from your family. But then just, what, a month later, Ben just flew. Robs me blind and. And is sitting here on a podcast bragging about it.

[Mike]

It didn't feel as good.

[Evan]

Yeah, that was the best part of the night.

[Mike]

It was. Honestly, it made it worth it.

[Evan]

Yeah, no, I mean, I'm sure it did, but especially because we weren't gonna.

[Ryan]

Pay you to drive us around, right?

[Mike]

Yeah. So it was like the only way. Like, I'm just scrapping for some change here.

[Ryan]

Thanks for paying.

[Mike]

Yeah, the ATM's out of cash, though, so we gotta.

[Ryan]

We gotta fix that.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Solution.

[Evan]

You touch that thing in a while.

[Ben]

Yeah, we do. And it's the. The heater's been dripping on it and it's just.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Crusty.

[Evan]

It's a good wipe down.

[Mike]

Okay. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah. I remember looking at it one day, just being like, why does this look like someone, like, sprayed it with a fire extinguisher and battery?

[Mike]

Yeah, that makes sense. I was like, man, how does everything we own just get beat to around here? Like our ATM was beat up.

[Evan]

It's all crusty boards into it. But also the heater mostly made. Made it look bad.

[Ryan]

It's because the snow blows in skateboards into it. It happens.

[Ben]

It happens.

[Mike]

Beltstone.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

We've been having so much fun skateboarding in the shop. Bought those two mini ramps, set them up in the shipping containers and just have a. Just have a heyday.

[Ken]

Like every couple weeks you've got new. Some new kind of skate feature. First you had like that box thing. Now you got the ramps.

[Ben]

Yeah. Got a half pipe coming this. This spring.

[Mike]

A full half life.

[Ryan]

Yeah, just.

[Ben]

Which is what I should have done from the start.

[Mike]

How big?

[Ben]

It's 16 wide. So, like a normal one. If you were going to build your backyard one, it'd be eight feet wide.

[Mike]

Still. Super. Where are you putting it?

[Ben]

I don't know. Where should we put it?

[Evan]

Merch warehouse?

[Ryan]

No, dude.

[Ben]

It'Ll be outside.

[Mike]

Mike, outside. I can't even express to you how loud your new mini skate park is in this. In this building.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Especially when you're right here. But, like, dude, it straight up sounds like there's monkeys inside my head with symbols just banging when you guys are skating.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

That was the last time we skated. Ben was still here working his office. Usually it's at about, like, nine when everyone leaves, are somewhere around there, but Ben comes down. He's like, yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't do that.

[Mike]

I literally had to go home.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And just sit in silence because it was just like, an hour of me sitting right above them when they're skating on this ramp that's constantly banging in the. Into the containers. And it's just.

[Ben]

It's arguably, like, worse than a drum set because there's not even any rhythm.

[Ryan]

There's no cadence to it. Yeah, rhythm would be the term, but yeah.

[Mike]

Where did you get this new skate park from? Or the Half Life?

[Ben]

Oh, dude. Actually, so this. This company called Ramp Art, which is in Minneapolis. And I just called the dude. He had him on Facebook, and I was like, hey, can I buy two of these and put them together? And then he found out we had a YouTube channel. And then he's like, I'd actually be down to, like, come up and install those. And then I'm like, sick. And then he, like, kind of realized, like, how big we were. And then he's like, like, I build, like, all this. Help build the skate parks for Minneapolis X Games, the two years. San Diego X Games. And, like, he was. He called me, and he's like, yo, I just, like, talked with my team, and we're gonna talk with Danny way about, like, we want to do a stunt with, like, with you guys maybe. That would be insane. He's like, we want to do, like, a border crossing where he, like, comes. Goes over the border of. From Canada to Minnesota. I don't know.

[Ryan]

Just, like, where you jump the Canadian border.

[Mike]

Oh, you're saying, like, funny because you know how jump across the border.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah. Like, you know how Danny Wade jumped over the Great Wall of China?

[Mike]

Okay.

[Ryan]

No, pull up the clip, Ken, please.

[Ben]

Yeah, actually, it's pretty cool.

[Ryan]

Gnarly.

[Ben]

I don't know. He just. He was like, the idea is just in its infancy, but, like, you're the only influencers that we know, so.

[Ken]

So what?

[Ryan]

Do you also have to jump over the board?

[Ben]

That's kind of what I said. I was like, all right. When it comes to stunts, we would just be there to support Film.

[Mike]

Dude, I want to see Evan do this.

[Ben]

Yeah, but then, yeah, it was like if you. If we had a jump that was over a border that a skateboard could get across, you know, who's to say? Like an E bike couldn't do it.

[Mike]

Yeah, I guess.

[Evan]

There you go. Dirt bike.

[Ben]

240P.

[Ryan]

Holy smokes.

[Ken]

That's a huge jump.

[Mike]

Holy crap.

[Evan]

Bigger than a normal mega ramp.

[Mike]

Holy.

[Evan]

You know what I wish would come back? I mean, D.C. hasn't gone away, but I just wish it would become more popular again. I've always liked dc.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah, me too. Also, I should sponsor us, dude. Maybe Ken can't answer this, but I just need you guys to guess how long the Great Wall of China is, because it blew my mind the other day. It'll probably blow yours.

[Mike]

3. 3. 300 miles.

[Evan]

Oh, 5,000 miles?

[Ken]

Not even close.

[Ryan]

I thought it was like 1200 miles.

[Ben]

13,171. Wow, that's a lot of frick. That's a lot of wall driving. 13,000 miles is an insane.

[Ryan]

So many miles my Hummer has on it.

[Ben]

Like when we drive to Florida. How far was that? Like 3,500, right?

[Evan]

You're right.

[Ryan]

That is so New York to LA is 2,700 miles.

[Mike]

Holy.

[Evan]

So how long it take them build that?

[Ryan]

Dude, that's where like a day it all working.

[Evan]

Everyone laid one brick.

[Mike]

Yeah. When did they build it too? And why did they build it?

[Ken]

It took over a thousand years to build.

[Ben]

Oh, my goodness.

[Mike]

What? Yeah, it's like, wait, why did they build it?

[Ken]

Keep out some other ethnic group of people.

[Mike]

What's it between, though?

[Ken]

China and Mongolia.

[Mike]

Mongolia is that big.

[Ken]

It's not like one continuous wall like it looks here.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Splits off like tributaries and like it's.

[Ken]

Like a fence left and right and.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Whoa.

[Ben]

Yeah. It's definitely not just a perimeter wall.

[Ryan]

People are building great walls like they used to. And that isn't a reference to walls in general. It's just a reference to people aren't doing crazy shit like that. Like, even they're building Crazy Horse now. And that shit's gonna take like 300 years. Like, it just is slowly going along.

[Mike]

They're not investing in the future, you're saying.

[Ryan]

Yeah, like it back then, dude, they would have had so many. Crazy Horse would have been built in two years.

[Ben]

That's. That's kind of what I thought. They. They like building the pyramids. I know that was like a slave aliens, but. Or aliens, but they. They like literally, they disregarded well being to get these, you know, monuments and structures made. It was like getting drafted for the army to go build these structures. Like, it wasn't like, yeah, we'll set up a team and we'll get investment of billions of dollars. No, I was just like, no, you got to work until it's done.

[Mike]

I think there will be a draft can. And what age bracket falls into the draft?

[Ken]

What is it, like 18 to 18 to 25. So we're all good.

[Mike]

I'm not.

[Ben]

I was like, we're not all good.

[Ken]

You are this year.

[Ryan]

You'll be good, dude.

[Ken]

They'll look at you and they'll go, well, you gotta.

[Mike]

Yeah, he ain't gonna make the cut.

[Ken]

Like a month left or something.

[Ryan]

Put him on the first line.

[Ben]

That's what they did to me. Thank God.

[Mike]

Yeah. Mike wouldn't be here right now if he would have asked inspection.

[Ben]

This guy ain't got it. He ain't got it in him. I know it's just the reserve, but. Nah, he ain't got it.

[Ryan]

That's crazy.

[Mike]

No, I promise I have farm strength. I have farm strength. I might look tubby, but I have strength.

[Ryan]

I don't want to end the podcast on a bad note, but, you know, there's a lot of bad things happening in the world, and I just had to show you guys so you could. You could hear it from me. I didn't want you to find out from somebody else. Here's this. Here's this video.

[Ben]

Oh, my gosh. Why would you do this? Why would you show this?

[Mike]

Why? Why are they doing this?

[Ryan]

There's disputes in the comments about whether it's a flood car or if it was a test car. But yeah, basically this guy's whole page is him just crushing Raptors super duties.

[Ben]

What.

[Mike]

What a crazy machine.

[Ryan]

It's in Mexico. So the idea is that it's probably like, this is a pretty clean unit.

[Evan]

Yeah, that's pretty modified.

[Ken]

Like a black stolen cars or something.

[Ryan]

Or. I still do stand by. If you buy a black widow, you're a dummy.

[Mike]

Wait, so what is. What is being in Mexico have anything to do with it?

[Ryan]

Well, I thought it might be near one of the construction plants. You know, like, obviously all the cars are built in another country.

[Mike]

So when you have the mu built in Mexico.

[Ryan]

So when they do the test mules. But here it says flooded cars, but weird.

[Mike]

I mean, there's really nothing wrong with. With crushing a couple broncos here and there, though, you know? Hey, buddy, I wonder what it's like. Is that really a problem?

[Ben]

Wonder what his affiliation is. Like if he like just works at the the scrapyard or whatever or owns the crusher.

[Ryan]

Oh, he's their social media guy.

[Ben]

What?

[Evan]

What?

[Ben]

Easy content Mustang. You just take videos of your. Sounds like literally doing your job, nothing else. Just point the video at the crush and then it just gets like, you.

[Evan]

Know, it's a pretty good looking Mustang.

[Mike]

Dude, that's got to feel so good crushing those triple stack.

[Ben]

Dude, this guy's got a triple stack of crushed Mustangs.

[Mike]

Dude. This is how we're going to have to buy one of these things is Mike continues.

[Evan]

What do you think one of these things costs to buy stuff?

[Mike]

So we can keep storing it, take up a little less space.

[Evan]

100 grand?

[Ben]

200.

[Evan]

Oh, 200.

[Ryan]

The problem is you've already expensive to put stuff in it.

[Ken]

So you've already looked into it then?

[Ben]

No, that was a guess. I don't want a vehicle crusher. It sounds like it would be the.

[Evan]

Only stuff getting put in there.

[Ken]

Eventually you're gonna run out of space and you're gonna have to.

[Ben]

That would be the most insane thing if we had like access to a crusher and then you guys just crush one of my vehicles. I would just have to just like return the favor. And then pretty soon we get into this crushing war and we just crush all of our shit.

[Ryan]

Here's one for 82,000.

[Ben]

Perfect. I can't believe we're shopping for vehicle crushers.

[Mike]

They're pretty sick.

[Evan]

Honestly, you're going to just wish we were taking your motors out now.

[Ben]

True. But you guys, like I said you would wish that you wouldn't have started it because like I would just put your raptor in there and then be.

[Mike]

Like, dude, you can crush my Raptor. Yeah, it's probably pretty much after the. The equivalent of what's been happening to it. Well, good stuff.

[Ryan]

All right, good chip fellas.

[Mike]

And we wrap right there.

[Ben]

Yes, we do. And go check out the website. If you haven't Raptor our giveaways going. You don't have a ton of time left.

[Mike]

So sick too. We just threw wheels and bumpers on it. Looks amazing. And we've got a couple more plans. So yeah, whoever wins it is gonna win a badass truck and $20,000.

[Ben]

And we know raptors and it's by far the sickest.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's so sick.

[Evan]

So seaboystv.com every $5 you spend gets you one entry. We'll see you guys next Tuesday.

[Mike]

Peace.
