Mike transitions into a segment on financial advice, humorously tying it to their love for vehicles. He stresses the importance of valuing assets, even those deemed as "junk," and shares insights from creating a personal financial statement.

Mike ([43:17]): "It's gotta be a lot of stuff."

The discussion underscores the blend of practical financial strategies with their passion for automotive modifications.

They reflect on real-life cases where parent creators neglected their children’s well-being, reinforcing the need for responsible content creation.

[Ken]

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

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.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

What happened?

[Ryan]

Like a freaking Frank, Furnace backfired.

[Mike]

Yep, a furnace backfired.

[Ryan]

But it like got like super sooty in there.

[Mike]

What the.

[Ben]

How does that even happen?

[Mike]

Hold on. We gotta wait until he's done chewing. But that's.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

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.

[C.J.]

How many nuts did you put in your mouth?

[Ryan]

I had to eat them all.

[Mike]

Brought the whole jar.

[Ryan]

Making peanut butter.

[Mike]

Great start.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

They're freaking cashews, man.

[Ryan]

I don't know.

[Ken]

Give me a second.

[C.J.]

Dude. We.

[Ryan]

We have.

[Mike]

We're almost done. The podcast is done.

[C.J.]

Yeah. What are we at, Ken?

[Ken]

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.

[Mike]

And I'm not.

[Ken]

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.

[Ryan]

Probably like 1920s.

[Ben]

No, I'd say.

[Ryan]

Aggressive.

[Ken]

It's probably like 60 to 70 years old.

[Ryan]

I'd say.

[Ken]

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.

[Mike]

So it. It put soot in. Whatever.

[Ken]

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

[Ben]

So, like, the exhaust vent broke or something?

[Ken]

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.

[Ryan]

Oh, really?

[Mike]

Oh, your poor parents. Yeah.

[Ken]

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 I 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.

[Ryan]

Right.

[Mike]

He's pretty talented at.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he can do any you can do. Like, he trades.

[Ken]

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.

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

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.

[C.J.]

Well, I'm just glad it didn't burn down. Like, I mean, yeah, obviously that would have sucked, but for your grandpa.

[Ken]

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?

[Ryan]

80.

[Ken]

Yeah, 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 cuz he lost his house, what, three years ago?

[Mike]

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.

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

He did, he wouldn't be watching that.

[Ken]

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 wonder, 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.

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

They're doing adjustments, but somewhat normal.

[Ryan]

It's just less.

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

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

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Oh, my gosh.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

Fart still gets you.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ken]

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 kairos and they're. Yeah.

[Mike]

I mean, it's their thing probably spreading.

[Ken]

I guess somewhat of a. Yeah.

[Ryan]

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.

[Ken]

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.

[Mike]

Like, be like Cle's brother doing dentist and YouTube.

[Ken]

Yeah. Does he make videos of his dentistry?

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

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

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

So many.

[Ryan]

Oh, it would have been so bad.

[Ken]

I would have parked it in the building.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

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 looked so chaotic.

[Ryan]

A lot of it's just luck, right? Yeah, I agree.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ken]

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.

[Mike]

Was luck back in the day. Dude, with the tc.

[Ryan]

Yeah, right.

[Mike]

I feel like I probably could have gotten it close couple times. Yeah, right.

[Ryan]

Maybe you got to bust the TC out and do something with it.

[C.J.]

I. I kind of thought.

[Mike]

I do. It's just sitting in the barn.

[C.J.]

I think it'd be a lot of fun to do, like, some side challenges like that. Like, 105 tries. Realistically, you're 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.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it kind of came from, like, the. I don't 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.

[C.J.]

He kind of start. Yeah.

[Ryan]

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.

[C.J.]

In one day one. One shot. Day two.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

Oh, like over barn.

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

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

[C.J.]

I work better under pressure of his house, bro.

[Ken]

His window.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Clips it in.

[Ken]

It's funny. He break a window. He broke his window.

[Mike]

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

[C.J.]

We'll have to check the whole cam.

[Ken]

On that one to see if it's good. There's no chance, buddy.

[Mike]

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. Freaking 20ft wide. And that's. I think he eventually did it.

[Ken]

That's actually a really, really good idea.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

Yes.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

For him dumping a dozer before we.

[C.J.]

Before we go in on him for the dozer.

[Ryan]

Dude, I don't know if I want to give Rich the. 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 golf. 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. Right. 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.

[C.J.]

I'll tell you. 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. Just a classic.

[Ryan]

Ken's been trying to do this for years.

[C.J.]

Just a classic prank.

[Ben]

Never works out for me.

[C.J.]

I don't.

[Ben]

I don't think.

[Ryan]

A pretty easy prank to pull out.

[Ben]

Not quite have the touch to get it on the shirt without them noticing.

[Ken]

Ken goes to, like, just clip it on. He's like, boom. Pats him on the back.

[C.J.]

Sorry. Well, anyway, Rich did it, and he, let's say, got it perfect. And, dude, it's just. It's just flawless. This. His friend is so scared.

[Mike]

Thought that was Rich.

[C.J.]

Oh, Ricky.

[Mike]

Dude.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

Is that even a thing? Snakes chasing.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ken]

Yeah. I'd have just let it play out.

[Mike]

He just kept. Keeps running.

[C.J.]

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, 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.

[Ryan]

And what did he. Was he like stoked on that?

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

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 stuff.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

We mentioned that. Yeah.

[Mike]

I still think Chive is cool.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

Yeah, ever. I remember when we first started playing on Tribe TV. This has been like 2021 maybe. I was sitting in the, you know, just at Zorbas 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 was 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. And I was just like, oh, thanks.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's right.

[Ryan]

They thought it was a crowd.

[Ken]

I don't know why. Got over a billion views on YouTube. But something about being Supercar Blondie posts.

[Ryan]

You different forms of achievements.

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

Like no one clicked to play it. It just came on.

[Mike]

Yeah, it just came on.

[Ken]

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.

[Ryan]

Could just play like our year end recap.

[Ken]

Yeah, they really could.

[Ryan]

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

[Ben]

It seems like some of those videos that they play are, you know, slightly.

[C.J.]

Shortened down full video 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 right captions, which.

[Ryan]

Makes no, like, make no sense unless you have like the volume on.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

You're just like, wait, what?

[C.J.]

What are these guys doing?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I don't know. It's. It is kind of crazy though. Like our 2023 year end recap.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. 2023 has like 20 million views or something like that because it's so easy to just throw on the TV and just. Just watch an extreme dopamine hit every 30 seconds.

[Ken]

What is interesting about that to me is so it's titled best of Seaboz 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 Seaboise TV 2023 to someone who has never heard of Seaboard.

[Mike]

Whatever the am I gonna get here?

[Ryan]

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

[Ken]

I don't know if it's the. I think oftentimes obviously with that it's the thumbnail. But also 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 like you would be versus like crotch rockets or snowmobiles or dirt bikes, you know, so.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

Yeah, yeah, it's a lot.

[Mike]

It's like 80,000.

[C.J.]

Holy.

[Mike]

[Ken]

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 type of video you're making?

[Mike]

I feel like less and less.

[Ken]

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?

[C.J.]

That is not as a non known.

[Mike]

Channel but it is interesting too because there is those weird niche things like camera who was talking about it, but they were like, oh, I really like Lego YouTube. And he like showed me this Lego YouTuber.

[Ken]

Lego, Lego something you'd search. You'd search.

[Mike]

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.

[Ryan]

There's riches in the niches.

[Mike]

There you go.

[Ken]

And I'm not saying that you, 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.

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

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

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

I started my own.

[Ryan]

Did you?

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

Congrats.

[C.J.]

Wow.

[Ryan]

You got a profile pic.

[Mike]

I do. It's. It's me.

[Ryan]

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 learn something. Yeah, I don't know what something you've learned.

[Mike]

It's a good piece of information you've taken home from this.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

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 watch 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.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ken]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[C.J.]

Oh, yeah, that's super cool. I watched a dude perfect video, just random. And then classic Mr. Beast.

[Mike]

And then I put together a good film, though.

[C.J.]

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. Like, just take something in. Yeah. Ah, man, there's just so much good stuff. But I. I have said it before. I love, like, sharing an account. I guess we're on the Seaboz 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 robot supercharger on a. You know.

[Ryan]

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, but I can tell, like, kind of what you're up to by, like, what our YouTube search history is.

[C.J.]

Yep.

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

Well, Kill Tony is always at the.

[Mike]

Kill Tony. Yeah.

[C.J.]

That is literally my most watched thing.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

Mike.

[Ryan]

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 of them. 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.

[Mike]

Yeah. TikTok scrolling, like, on his phone automatically.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

A launder one of those.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

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

[C.J.]

In this day and age, I don't even think it's the craziest thing because. No, it's a great idea. 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.

[Ryan]

I feel like they all are.

[C.J.]

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.

[Mike]

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 it's like, 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 nonsense still.

[Ben]

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

[Mike]

Really.

[Ben]

That is just the epitome of lazy.

[Ken]

So lazy.

[Ben]

Your phone to scroll it, bro.

[Ryan]

We started this workout challenge, Ken, and Ken is a new man.

[Mike]

No more.

[Ryan]

I would have thought that you, you would be the first person to buy that.

[Ben]

No.

[Ken]

So lazy.

[Ben]

You can't even just use your finger to scroll. You have to push a button to scroll.

[Mike]

That is just a new treadmill. 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.

[Ben]

You can still use your finger to swipe.

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

And you're walking and you flip.

[Ken]

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

[Ben]

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.

[Ken]

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 jump. Just fucking. You're just gambling almost.

[Mike]

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.

[Ken]

You're like, we mean 12.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

30 minutes.

[Ken]

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.

[Mike]

Then 12, 3:30 is a bad work.

[Ben]

I get it in the winter just because it's like, it's. It can be kind of miserable to walk around in the winter, Ryan.

[Ryan]

So I could see that getting clipped right there.

[Mike]

12, 3:30. Bad workout.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And then it just goes into just.

[Ken]

Like a dude when I'm on the treadmill, he's run as fast as he can. 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.

[Mike]

You know they say that I would.

[C.J.]

Say most treadmill runners, like literally almost all of them spend more than five.

[Ken]

Yeah, you're probably on there for a real.

[C.J.]

Yeah, at least 10.

[Mike]

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.

[Ryan]

But they, they in the gym today.

[Mike]

Yeah. You listen.

[Ryan]

How'd that feel?

[Mike]

You wanted to be like me dude, you. You put on the same shirt as me.

[Ken]

Ryan starts telling you what to do in the gym.

[Mike]

Tough. Well, I'm going to 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 storage is interesting. They say there's somebody that said it. I now said, that's super.

[Ken]

Wow.

[Ryan]

Makes sense if you don't think about it. Yeah.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

Oh, yeah. You make him hobble this morning.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

Having a hard time, are you guys? Yeah.

[C.J.]

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?

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

Yeah, dude, he's.

[C.J.]

Yeah, we're good. 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.

[Mike]

He loves that, though.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

Yeah.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

See the edit, which I'm excited for.

[Ryan]

He came into my office and was, like, telling me. He was like, this song with 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, but what if you, like, ran backwards through the woods?

[C.J.]

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.

[Mike]

Sometimes I trust the vision.

[C.J.]

Exactly. 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.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

Why is he using your app?

[Ryan]

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.

[Mike]

I paid 15 of it back.

[Ben]

Yeah, in a roundabout way.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

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.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, Tony's definitely.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Tony, the guy paying the bill.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

He wouldn't have any kind of anim.

[Ken]

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

[Ryan]

He just does a lot of wrong.

[Ken]

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

[Ryan]

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.

[Ken]

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

[Ryan]

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. 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. He's just bouncing around. He's doing the most, which is doing nothing.

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

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

[Ryan]

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

[Ken]

Hard, but just not doing anything.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ben]

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

[Ken]

My favorite thing, part of his problem.

[Mike]

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.

[Ryan]

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 out. He's such a showman.

[Ken]

No, it's exaggerated motion.

[Ryan]

That's what it is. There it is.

[Ken]

That is what it is.

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

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?

[C.J.]

The air is really accurate doing those.

[Ryan]

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 degrees in here.

[C.J.]

Sorry, I couldn't think straight.

[Mike]

That boy.

[Ryan]

And then his seat belts dinging the whole time.

[Mike]

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

[Ben]

Raptor's been a work truck.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

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.

[Ben]

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

[C.J.]

So who hold it out?

[Ben]

Dalton's been driving it all week.

[Ryan]

He pulled it up to the gym. And I thought Ken was pulling up to the gym. I literally, I was like, no way. You don't wake up dreaming of McDonald's fries. You wake up dreaming of McDonald's hash browns.

[C.J.]

McDonald's breakfast comes first.

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

[Ryan]

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

[Ben]

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

[C.J.]

I think that was his New Year's resolution.

[Ben]

I think so.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Because he settled this beef with Dalton. Now he's trying to get a check from Ken, too.

[Ryan]

I think that is a big part of it.

[Ken]

I don't think so.

[Ryan]

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

[Ben]

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.

[Ryan]

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.

[Ken]

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

[Ben]

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

[Ryan]

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

[Ken]

Oh, too far.

[C.J.]

Too far.

[Mike]

Okay, okay.

[Ryan]

Relapse somewhere in between.

[Ben]

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

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

No, I mean, he fully body slammed him.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

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

[Ben]

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.

[C.J.]

So this might be an intellectual battle.

[Ken]

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 roughhouse. It's just like, we're. We're.

[Ryan]

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.

[Ken]

The other one ends up.

[Ben]

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

[Ryan]

It's like he has something to prove.

[Ken]

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

[Ryan]

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.

[C.J.]

That was cracking up at the comments.

[Ken]

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

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

I mean, you could ask Big wrench.

[C.J.]

I'm gonna.

[Ryan]

Don't. Yeah, but he's. Don't take.

[Ken]

Don't like.

[Ben]

How many other bikes?

[C.J.]

That's what you said last time.

[Ben]

How many other bikes do you have available?

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

But he uses them.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

I doubt it.

[Ben]

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

[C.J.]

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

[Ben]

Somebody else wrote it.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

No, I think it makes perfect sense.

[C.J.]

But anyway, dirt bike in shop.

[Ryan]

Need motor.

[Ken]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Let's take that one.

[Mike]

All right.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

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.

[Ryan]

But now you have.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

With an R6 in it.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

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

[C.J.]

Yeah, I know.

[Ryan]

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

[Ken]

Yeah, if it makes.

[C.J.]

No, I better. I was not, like, sweating the cooler car. 1.

[Ken]

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

[Ryan]

I know.

[Ken]

Like, something.

[Ben]

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

[Ken]

No, it's his thing. He can do what he wants with it.

[C.J.]

Yeah, you're not helping.

[Ken]

I don't know.

[Ryan]

It seems kind of it, like, makes sense to me.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

Guess how deep it was. Three feet deep.

[Ryan]

Still three steel in the water. Pop picture.

[C.J.]

His motor went under. Cool. I'll sink my dirt bike.

[Ken]

Well, because he's different. He has a couple other left still.

[C.J.]

If you want to sink one that. Because that's a different area.

[Ryan]

Don't be just recklessly sinking your dirt bikes. We need those motors.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[C.J.]

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.

[Mike]

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

[C.J.]

Yeah, 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.

[Ken]

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 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 freaking rev limiter.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

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.

[Mike]

Do you have, like, a spreadsheet of your stuff?

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

Value your junk at those kind of things.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

Wow.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

Vehicles, drift car and stuff.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Congrats, Mike. That's pretty sick.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Was there enough lines?

[C.J.]

Almost not. I figured it was enough.

[Ken]

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.

[C.J.]

That would be pretty good. I'll 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 together. 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. Just at the end. Just a picture with.

[Mike]

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

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

Mike, I was watching Instagram the other day, and I noticed that you had come. It 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.

[Mike]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ryan]

His Honda Accord or whatever it was. He jumped it over the snowbank. And then the next shot was like, basically a tow truck towing it away. And Mike's comment was a 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 snowbank, you could just see like snow fly.

[C.J.]

And then it panned down to the ground.

[Ryan]

It was like the worst.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

Really the one of them was my favorite one that they made me laugh out loud. Currency. Michael.

[Mike]

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

[C.J.]

Yeah, that one was probably my biggest hater moment in the pass. 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, oh, 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 going to just kill him with kindness. And so then I was like, I deleted my comment. Yeah, like, I don't need my comment on there. If he's going to be nice, I don't need it. And then I was like, the comment was at the other guy anyway.

[Mike]

Damn.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

You know the baby is a baby Rob Gronkowski.

[C.J.]

Right.

[Ken]

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

[Ryan]

I've seen him, 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.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

They're trying to just gronk.

[Ken]

Medium gronk.

[Mike]

They're aging him up.

[Ken]

Yeah. But, like, just have the kid focus on playing football, and if he gets good enough, then start doing the thing. But, like, you're putting the carriage before the horse here.

[C.J.]

He's got grills.

[Ken]

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

[Ryan]

Yeah, for sure.

[C.J.]

I like that Persona. I don't like, you know, it's like I. I don't respect the 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?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[C.J.]

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. Let's say she's 17. It's been almost 10 years since she was nine, 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.

[Ken]

You remember Long Neck?

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Or why.

[C.J.]

Why?

[Ryan]

Went to jail.

[C.J.]

Yeah. Wide next out of the picture.

[Ken]

He was in jail, and I don't know.

[Ben]

I think he's out again.

[Ryan]

Ken, can you look up the new law? It's. 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.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And they're not obviously getting anything.

[Ken]

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

[C.J.]

I watched it.

[Ken]

What is it?

[C.J.]

What was it called? A Devil in the Family.

[Ken]

Yeah. And what was the YouTube channel?

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Oh, it was the movie.

[C.J.]

Frank is the mom.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And I guess she was like, wasn't Eight passengers.

[C.J.]

Right.

[Ken]

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

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[C.J.]

If you're not, if you don't, don't look happy, fake it. And just stuff like this.

[Ryan]

It was like raw footage.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And it was like very mean and.

[Ken]

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. Super interesting. I remember there was like another situation that happened years ago where like taking the kids.

[Ryan]

Oh, oh, oh.

[Ken]

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

[Ryan]

For this like documentary though, like, how did they obtain all the footage?

[C.J.]

Like, I think.

[Ryan]

Did they sue? Like, did the kids sue?

[C.J.]

I think they ended up against.

[Ryan]

The kids sued like the mom or like.

[Ken]

No, I think.

[Ryan]

What is this?

[Ken]

The law enforcement got involved and then they started investigating more than likely.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Oh, okay.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

What happened to her now? Like, where is she at now?

[C.J.]

I don't know. I should have finished it.

[Mike]

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'd found handcuffs, wrists and ankles. They had like a safe room in the basement that was super, super scary looking.

[C.J.]

And actually she originally just got canceled from when it came. 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 she just. It just went from like normal to just fully canceled. But I mean, you can't make your way.

[Mike]

It doesn't sound like we know.

[Ben]

So the 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 and a trust account that can be accessed when the child is in considered an adult.

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

Man, a lot of those kids are gonna make a ton of money.

[Mike]

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 going to cool and he's young.

[Ken]

I don't think. I don't think he's the one driving the, the ship though. I think it's, it's his dad. Yeah, that's what the controversy is that.

[Mike]

He, that whatever's happening. But if he truly does like it and he's having fun.

[Ryan]

Hold on.

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

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.

[Ken]

I, I hope he seems like dad is the one.

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

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?

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

Dude, we are way too awesome. I think that's a tick A baby girl caught rising up living done. Like, I mean, yeah.

[Ryan]

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.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's what I mean.

[Ryan]

Like rising up living.

[Ken]

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.

[Ryan]

But like, dude, once he's in high.

[Ken]

School, that kid better be good.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

Got his finger on the pulse. Dude.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ben]

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

[Ken]

That's surprising.

[Mike]

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

[C.J.]

And respect?

[Ben]

I don't even know. Like, the news.

[Ryan]

Ben Shapiro.

[Ken]

Ben Shapiro. Politics.

[Ben]

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

[Ken]

And then he watches. He's watching like, Chevy just released a new update on the Impala. No, like, he does.

[Ryan]

You're deep in the Reddit forms. Mike is. 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.

[Ben]

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.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

Reddit's the best.

[Ryan]

You think so?

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

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

[Ben]

Yelp is all fake.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

What happens?

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Even though it's a numbers game, though, like, just because one person. Well, that's that experience. Like, there's going to be 20 others.

[C.J.]

Should be looked at, and there's also.

[Ben]

Going to be 50 others that don't even do that.

[Ryan]

That's why Money Mike's got to give his clients the best experience.

[C.J.]

Yeah, dude, Mike, you could be a.

[Ryan]

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.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

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? Oh, yeah. Money Mike's the best in the business.

[C.J.]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

You might actually have a business there.

[C.J.]

Specialize in boy math. Yeah, yeah. Buying sixteen thousand dollar snowmobile so you don't have to rent for the two trips that you go out on.

[Mike]

Yeah, the one trip, the three days. And.

[Ryan]

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.

[C.J.]

I know what works.

[Ryan]

You know, I know what doesn't work. Going to 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. Yeah, I think all you need, Mike.

[C.J.]

Is just a storefront and clients with really confused wives. Yeah, don't look into it. Yeah, I just don't have time for another business. Boys. You keep coming up with all these great ideas.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Dude.

[C.J.]

Yeah, you got to do that expanding. It'll be fun. So I just have everyone.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

Okay, that would be hot dogs for dinner. Aggressive hot dogs for the groom's dinner. Whatever the it's called.

[Ryan]

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

[Ken]

I hate hot dogs. I'm so hungry.

[Ryan]

Hot dogs.

[Ken]

More hot dogs.

[C.J.]

Mini weenies.

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

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 go like, oh.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

Other stuff. I got a. A dj. I bought a photo booth. Who you got?

[Ryan]

How'd you get a dj?

[C.J.]

I just hired him.

[Ryan]

Is he like a normal wedding dj, though?

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Is it Oreo says go?

[C.J.]

No, that would have been cool.

[Mike]

He does weddings.

[C.J.]

Yeah. Really? I didn't actually know that.

[Ben]

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

[C.J.]

I bought it, Mike.

[Ben]

You bought it?

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Mike, why didn't you hire Twin Sick?

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

You should hit him up.

[C.J.]

That would be pretty.

[Ryan]

Dude money. Mike needs Twin Sick at his wedding.

[C.J.]

They is our boys. My Jays go.

[Ryan]

They're killing it.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Yeah. So I think you should hit them up.

[C.J.]

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 sake would be sick.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Just make sure that they're not doing, like, the whole, like, wedding. Dj.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

Damn.

[C.J.]

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, yeah, classic.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ken]

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

[C.J.]

Another thing is. Is that we requested not to have. 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 him. 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. 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.

[Mike]

You know, you can have. Do it.

[Ryan]

I think you just need, like, Jeff. You should have Jeff do your thing.

[Ken]

Should be.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

Yeah, That I know.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

It's a really good point, actually.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

And stick to your DJ booth.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Spinny boy.

[C.J.]

Stop speaking.

[Ken]

They get out of line. Mike marches up there.

[C.J.]

Yeah. Oh, no, he's talking.

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

Sorry.

[C.J.]

A couple hash.

[Ryan]

Sorry. I got a bar.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

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

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

Really?

[Ken]

82.

[Ryan]

Holy. I'm glad that Grandpa.

[Ken]

82.

[C.J.]

Cheers to more life.

[Ryan]

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.

[Ken]

You didn't say happy birthday to him?

[Ryan]

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

[Ken]

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.

[Ryan]

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.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And Grandpa Ron was like, oh, thanks. And it was just so great.

[Mike]

God, I love Grandparon.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Where are you guys at?

[Ryan]

Doolittles.

[Ken]

Dude.

[Ryan]

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?

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Oh, for sure.

[Mike]

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 bullshit, like, they just charge more.

[Ryan]

Really?

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

Holy shit.

[Mike]

Put down a floor?

[C.J.]

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.

[Mike]

Yeah. For $18,000.

[C.J.]

Stuff like that.

[Ryan]

That's crazy.

[Ken]

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

[C.J.]

I would.

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

Three bucks a square foot.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

That's not. I mean, that's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. But yeah.

[C.J.]

Right. I think.

[Ken]

Yeah, it's like crazy. Crazy.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ken]

Right.

[C.J.]

I've heard that kind of scenario more, more often than you think.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[C.J.]

Don't tell me that there is a slight.

[Mike]

Like, but you've already done it. Like, you got the experience and you go, oh, okay, well, yeah, I wish it would have 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 probably wouldn't do it again. But you had to do it once to figure out, you know.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

Yeah.

[C.J.]

And it was great. But.

[Mike]

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?

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So it's a pretty gnarly combo in that.

[Mike]

Yeah, It'd be like Chris Humphrey Humphries and Kim Kardashian not having a fancy wedding.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Right.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

Money, Mike, doesn't get a low.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Got to recoup the money somehow.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

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.

[C.J.]

Wouldn'T want something really bad happened.

[Ken]

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.

[C.J.]

Right.

[Mike]

Especially with how good, like, if Dalton does it. Like if you hire a wedding Videographer, you're going to get one thing, right? And if you hire Dalton.

[C.J.]

Well, that's what I think.

[Mike]

You're going to get something else. You're going to get, like, a real thing that in 20 years, 40 years, you go back and go like, oh, look, I actually got, like, my grandpa or my, you know, mom talking about something, right. Like a wedding video 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 dull and come out and go, like, what do you think about Mike's hot Dogs? You know, and, like, the real thing. So I think it'd be like the authentic.

[Ryan]

Authentic and raw version of what you would expect a Seaboy's wedding to be like.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

I think you got a cover ball.

[C.J.]

You have.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Coming. But, yeah, just. Yeah. Make sure that they're just, like, not getting in the shot. Obviously, when we got Dolph, right. Running around. Dawn's gonna be shirtless, little bow tie. A little bow tie on. Are you gonna have it? Is there, like, a dress code? Like a tux dress code? Like, super black tie, super fan. Yeah. Black tie wedding.

[C.J.]

No, no. But it could. Something I never thought, because everyone, like.

[Ryan]

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.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

This is a terrible wedding. Like, they're making me wear a suit or a tux.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Because that's usually how it is.

[C.J.]

Yeah. 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.

[Mike]

Oh, we will.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

You're gonna just get insanely high.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

I think that's a good move, Mike.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Mike]

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

[C.J.]

Right.

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

But you don't have a time travel.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

Yeah. Waste.

[C.J.]

Yeah. Make the time go any faster.

[Mike]

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

[C.J.]

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.

[Mike]

That's true.

[C.J.]

Doesn't probably one of my favorite parts.

[Ken]

I feel 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.

[Mike]

Fuck any. Yeah. Any slower.

[Ken]

It's so boring.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ken]

So boring. Being sober at a bar.

[Ryan]

Cj, all of Nashville.

[Ken]

Yeah. That shit 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.

[Ryan]

It's like literal torch.

[Ken]

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. Pain.

[C.J.]

Roll this and post Malone tickets. That was.

[Mike]

Say you did a great job not bringing down the vibe.

[Ken]

Yeah, that was.

[Mike]

I could tell that you weren't having any.

[Ryan]

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 might do that because I spend every single day with you.

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

Yeah. No, you Did a great job.

[Ryan]

Well, I didn't blame you either.

[Mike]

Yeah, no, I couldn't do it.

[Ryan]

The worst part is just dealing with drunk people.

[Mike]

Yeah. They suck. They just talk about.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Especially. It's just not fun, man.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ken]

So boring.

[Ryan]

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's going on.

[Ken]

Part of it.

[Ryan]

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 if you were just drunk.

[Ken]

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? No. 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.

[C.J.]

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 myself.

[Ken]

It'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.

[Ben]

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

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

I was Dding these guys and the Channel 199, Nitro Crew, two weeks ago.

[Mike]

Oh, that was a long day, too.

[Ryan]

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.

[Ken]

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

[Ryan]

We run a hundred. $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.

[Ken]

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

[Ryan]

No, I didn't feel bad.

[Ken]

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 hundred dollar bets? I. I was just telling grandparent about it the other day. 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 robs me blind and. And is sitting here on a podcast bragging about it.

[Ryan]

It didn't feel as good.

[Ken]

Yeah, that was the best part of the night.

[Ryan]

It was. Honestly, it made it worth it.

[Ken]

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

[Mike]

To pay you to drive us around, right?

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

Thanks for paying.

[Ryan]

Yeah, the ATMs out of cash though, so we gotta.

[Mike]

We gotta fix that. Yeah, we gotta do that solution.

[Ken]

Touch that thing in a while.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

Yeah.

[C.J.]

Crusty.

[Ken]

It's a good wipe down.

[Ryan]

Okay. That makes a lot of sense.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

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.

[Ken]

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

[C.J.]

It's because this skateboards into happens. Yeah, 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.

[Ben]

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

[C.J.]

Yeah, got it. Got a half pipe coming this. This spring.

[Ryan]

A full half life.

[C.J.]

Yeah, just. Which is what I should have done from the start.

[Ryan]

How big?

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Super. Where are you putting it?

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

Merch warehouse.

[C.J.]

No, expansion. Dude, it'll be outside, Mike.

[Ken]

Outside.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Like, I literally had to go home.

[C.J.]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

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.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

Where did you get this new skate park from, the half life?

[C.J.]

Oh, dude. Actually, so this. This company called Rampart, 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, 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.

[Mike]

Just like, we do jump the Canadian border.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Mike]

No, pull up the clip, Ken, please.

[C.J.]

Yeah, actually, it's pretty cool.

[Mike]

Gnarly.

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

So what are you. Do you also have to jump over the water?

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Dude, I want to see Evan do this.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I guess.

[Ken]

There you go.

[C.J.]

Dirt bike 240p.

[Mike]

Holy smokes.

[Ben]

That's a huge jump.

[C.J.]

Holy crap.

[Ken]

Bigger than a normal mega ramp.

[C.J.]

Holy.

[Ken]

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.

[C.J.]

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. I'll probably blow yours.

[Ryan]

3. 3, 300 miles?

[Ken]

Oh, 5, 000 miles.

[Ben]

Not even close.

[Mike]

I thought it was like 1200 miles.

[C.J.]

13,171. Wow, that's a lot of frick.

[Ken]

That's a lot of. A lot of wall, dude.

[C.J.]

Driving 13, 000 miles is an insane.

[Mike]

So many miles. My Hummer has on it.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

Right? You're right.

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

Holy shit. So how long it take them build that?

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

Everyone laid one brick when.

[Ryan]

Yeah, when did they build it, too? And why did they build it?

[Ben]

It took over thousand years to build.

[C.J.]

Oh, my.

[Ryan]

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

[Ben]

Keep out some other ethnic group of people.

[Ryan]

What's it between, though?

[Ben]

China? Mongolia.

[Ryan]

Mongolia is that big.

[Ben]

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

[Mike]

Yeah. Noodles.

[C.J.]

Splits off like tributaries and like, it's.

[Ben]

Like a fence left and right and.

[C.J.]

Whoa. Yeah, it's definitely not just a perimeter wall.

[Mike]

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.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

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

[C.J.]

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. We'll set up a team and we'll get a investment of billions of dollars. No, I was just like, no, you gotta work until it's done.

[Ryan]

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

[Ben]

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

[Ryan]

I'm not.

[C.J.]

I was like, we're not all good.

[Ben]

You are this year.

[Mike]

You'll be good, dude. They'll look at you and they'll go, well, you gotta.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he ain't gonna make the cut.

[Ben]

Like a month left or something.

[Mike]

Put him on the first line.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

That's crazy.

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

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.

[Ben]

Here's this.

[Mike]

Here's this video.

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

Why.

[Ryan]

Why are they doing this?

[Mike]

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.

[C.J.]

What.

[Ryan]

What a crazy machine.

[Mike]

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

[Ken]

Yeah, that's pretty modified.

[Ben]

Like a black stolen cars or something or.

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

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

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

So when you have the test built in Mexico.

[Mike]

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

[Ryan]

I mean there's really nothing wrong with. With crushing a couple broncos here and there though, you know.

[C.J.]

Hey buddy, I wonder what it's like.

[Ryan]

Is that really a problem?

[C.J.]

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

[Mike]

Oh, he's their social media guy.

[C.J.]

What? What? 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.

[Ken]

Know, It's a pretty good looking Mustang.

[Ryan]

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

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

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

[Ken]

One of these things costs to buy stuff.

[Ryan]

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

[Ken]

100 grand.

[C.J.]

200.

[Ken]

Oh, 200.

[Mike]

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

[Ben]

So you've already looked into it then?

[C.J.]

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

[Ken]

Only stuff getting put in there.

[Ben]

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

[C.J.]

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 favorite and then pretty soon we get into this crushing war and we just crush all of our.

[Mike]

Here's one for 82,000.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

They're pretty sick. Honestly, you're gonna just wish we were.

[Ken]

Taking your motors out now.

[C.J.]

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.

[Ryan]

Like, dude, you can crush my raptor. Yeah, it's probably pretty much the equivalent of what's been happening to it.

[Ken]

Well, good stuff.

[Ryan]

All right.

[Mike]

Good chip, fellas.

[Ryan]

And we wrap right there, huh?

[C.J.]

Yes, we do. And go check out the website if you haven't Raptor. Our giveaway is going. You don't have a ton of time left.

[Ryan]

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 going to win a badass truck and $20,000.

[C.J.]

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

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's so sick.

[Ken]

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

[Ryan]

Peace.
