Ben & Evan Were Out of Control at NASCAR
01:04:01 Share

People say we're the nicest up in the Midwest. I'd argue that the South is nicer. I didn't want to get arrested at Bucky's, so I just played dead. Attack! I just couldn't help myself, so I got back on the liquor. I'm not sure if you meant that as a compliment. I know CJ wouldn't mean it as a compliment. Thanks for reaching out. And he said, calm down. Thank you very much.

Hey everyone, it's me, Drew Alfuolo, host of The Comment Section Show. Come join me and one of my iconic special guests every week on the show as we dive into the dreaded comment sections of our tagged videos and take down the most terrible men on the internet, period.

Somehow they won't go away no matter what I do, no matter how incredibly awful and mean I am to them. But I don't mind doing this work. In fact, if I'm being honest, I think it's God's work. So make sure y'all follow me on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts for new episodes every Wednesday.

I miss Sean Kingston. Yeah. You guys really hit it off when we met. I'm surprised you guys didn't stay more in touch. What's up? What's up, Sean Kingston? Hey, these are the C-Boys. What's up? What's up? That was probably the most awkward interaction we've ever had.

Maybe not ever, but up there. Yeah, it was definitely up there. He definitely didn't care to meet us. In the locker room of the Civic Center of all places. Yeah, yeah. Welcome back to another Ripper episode of Life Wide Open Podcast. Good to be here, boys. How you doing? It is great to be here. Happy Saturday. Feeling good. Feeling good. Can we talk about Micah, how he almost killed us in the way here? Yeah.

Wasn't it? I just went for like a classic, you know, pass and my eyes were deceiving me. So I thought the car that was on the oncoming lane was in the right-hand lane. Because it had red headlights? It's happened before. I don't know. Well, no headlights at all. Oh, I suppose. She's just like, ah! How close was it? I mean, to the point where I dang near had to cut the guy off that I was passing. No shit. I felt like an asshole. You had the Bronco floored? Floored, and it...

Good thing you got that WAPTA. Yeah, but it still was like bogging almost. Like, you know how they have the electronic? It's not like a cable anymore. Yeah.

I was sketchy. I got all hot. Really? And then you're embarrassed, too? Yeah. Because now you're in front of this guy, and you're like, oh, I feel like I got to go fast now. Did you just speed and just get out of there? Who the hell is Steve? Steve. Where's Steve Wood? Driving like an asshole. He goes, he lost his first lap driving like that, dude. I just felt bad, yeah. I was dumb. Well, it's funny because a launder will do that while we're driving. Sometimes it's because of a threat that is within...

three quarters of a mile away. And sometimes it's like, she'll just remember something to go. And I'll like be driving, you know, you kind of get in like a zone, right? You just like, you're just driving, whatever. And she'll go, and then you go, you like, it scares you. What, what, what, what's happening? You like, you put yourself on high alert. I feel like it's a, it's a female. Yeah. They all do that. Yeah. Just treat. Standard procedure. Closes her eyes and goes, Oh,

Whenever I'm passing somebody and I'm like, can you relax? Really? You're stressing me out right now and I'm just passing somebody. And you're a pretty slow driver too. Like I wouldn't say you're too aggressive. Yeah. Thank you.

I'm not sure if you meant that as a compliment. I know CJ wouldn't mean it as a compliment. It depends on the scenario. Are we trying to get home from the airport after a long day? You're a slow driver and it's annoying. 55 and a 60. You guys might be very appreciative of my slow driving when I have

to take over the entire insurance policy for the company. Exactly. It is a positive there. And I always trust you. You'll get us there safe. Someone's got to drive safe around here. Somebody's got to do it. I was just thinking about that on my way here. Like, stuck behind some dude pulling a fish house and then a couple people behind him. A fish house? Wrong season, brother. Yeah. Stuck driving 55 in the 55. And I...

thought very deeply about how I'm not an angry person. I'm a very happy, optimistic person. If for some reason they put a regulation on our cars where we had to drive a speed limit, I would not be as nice of a person. It would stress you out? Yes. It just drives me nuts. Driving 55 feels like you're driving a golf cart.

cart i might as well be i pulled out of the shop the other day and our local state trooper whipped up right behind me oh and i i had to set the cruise control at 55 and i felt like i was just crawling like you're not moving he whipped out behind you or yeah i just whipped out right behind me he was waiting or what i don't know i think he saw me from like a mile away and just accelerated what were you driving my bumper i was on my bronco so he was just i couldn't see his car out of the back of my car because he was that close to my bumper

Well, you probably were out causing a ruckus. Damn. Maybe he was thinking you were driving too slow. Well, I think that a lot. When I was coming home last night, I was, uh, I was doing like six over. There was somebody just like riding me. And Greta's like, how fast are you going? And I was like, I don't know. Like,

six over. I was like, I don't think it's a cop, but if it is a cop, I think they want me to go faster because they're riding you. Yeah. So I, is that a good excuse? Like if you get pulled over and they go, why were you going so fast and be like, well, you were on my bumper. I figured you were pushing me. I thought you were drafting off of me. Yeah. Yeah. I think you could get away with that and then say like, I didn't know you were a cop. Like I just saw the headlights. That is scary. That is annoying though. Like when you got someone right behind you and they're driving too close, but they won't pass and you kind of,

almost inherently yeah you start speeding up just to get away from them and then next thing you know you're speeding you're kind of like frick is there any cops and they're like just fucking pass me so I can go back but then you do get passed and you're like god damn

Damn, you're getting passed by a minivan right now. I thought about it the other day when I was driving and there was a cop going down the interstate. And it was from like out of town, out of state. It wasn't doing anything. He was driving somewhere, right? And everybody, like traffic is just like bottled up around him.

And he was doing like 65 in a 60. Like he's going fast. And I mean, he's just driving as a normal dude just in a cop car. And I go, I wonder if they get annoyed that everybody around you like tenses up and just forgets how to drive and like slows down. Yeah. I'm sure everywhere they go, everyone's just stomping on their brakes. Brake checking you. Like sitting at a stop sign for one minute. Yeah.

If you're like, no, no, you go first. Yeah. It's just like, and you're like, dude, I'm a detective. Like I'm solving murders today. I don't give a shit about you. I was wondering if like police officers, like in their world, obviously they don't drive around their car all the time, but like to them, they're like, yeah, everyone's really good drivers. Everyone around them is. I would love to have a police officer on this podcast.

Just chat with things. Things like that. Last night. One's out there. At Ben's birthday dinner. There's a fellow wearing the same hat as me. C-Boy's hat. Tried to win the truck. Respectable. He looked very young. Like 22 or something. And he's like, oh, yeah. I pulled Ben over the other day. Oh.

It was him. Whoa. Yeah, and I knew it. Yeah, I knew it But he was wearing like a sweet windbreaker in the seaboys hat. He's a cop I couldn't figure out why he looks so familiar like you don't look like a cop at all like does he know he's a dude he's not a cop. Oh, well. He's got a mustache. I know

Oh, that makes so much sense. Okay, carry on. I just was like, all right, well, your secret's safe with me, bro. And he's like, well, I mean, he's not really a secret. He's also like, I didn't pick it up. Your secret's not safe. Wait, it said right here. I told you guys about this. Yeah, I didn't hear about it. I said I got pulled over on my way here. I think I was coming here. I can't remember what I was doing. My Raptor. I pass him, whips around.

Pulls me over, and I was like, I wasn't speeding. I wasn't, like, doing anything. He, like, comes up and was like, hey, I, uh. It's crime to have red wheels. This car's too ugly to be on the road. He was like, oh, I, um, pulled you over for no front license plate.

Oh, and I've never been stopped for that with my truck. And I was like, oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. It makes sense. He was like, oh, didn't you used to have like a license plate, like in your windshield, which I did a while ago. He did. I was like, yeah, I did. But it got like annoying. So I took it out because it was like,

And I was like, how did he know that? Or maybe he'd seen you around town. Maybe. And then he came up and then he said something, but he kind of smirked. Last night? Almost like holding back a smile, like he knew me. I think he was waiting for you to recognize. No, not last night, when he was giving me a ticket. And I was like, that was a little different of an encounter that I've had getting pulled over. I was like, I wonder if that guy was a fan. And I was like, there's no way.

And then it just kind of went on. And then I saw him last night. I was like, why does that guy look so familiar? Also, what's up with his mustache? And I looked over at CJ and then I got nervous. I'm working with him. CJ goes undercover. I'm trying to get you more speeding tickets, Ben. You can't hold mine over me. CJ's trying to get out of tickets, dude. They'll pull him over and they'll go, oh! A fellow brother. Yeah, undercover. You're good to go. You're like Paul Walker, dude, in Fast and Furious. Yeah, he walks up and CJ's like,

Like combing his... I need to get some... Oh, hello, Hofstra. I didn't see you there. I need to get something just for men and like dye it so it's more noticeable. Right now, it's just all blonde. You were sitting over there. I don't even know if these guys can see it. Yeah, you got to catch it. It is tough to see. Definitely. It's there. I'm not sure if they can even see it. When you were sitting over there, dude, like there was stuff in the wind. I was like, what's on that guy's face? Because I was a little caterpillar coming in. What the hell is going on with that guy?

I like it though. What caused you to be like, I'm going mustache? I just didn't shave for like a week and then I was shaving and my mustache was like the last thing I was going to shave and I was like, eh, I'm just going to leave it. I love that. Feeling risque. I've done it a couple times where I've left it and then I just go, no. Sometimes I'll even walk over and show Alondra and go, look.

And she'll go, oh, wow, looks good. Really? She'll give me like a nice compliment. She won't be mean, but I can kind of tell deep down she's probably like, you should get rid of that. Really? Yeah. She did ask me the other day. She goes, I wonder what you look like with just a mustache. Maybe like a Hulk Hogan type of like. Oh, yeah. You could do that. I was hoping that like I was going to get like a late in life growth spurt one and then a late in life. Like my facial hair was going to start coming in. Yeah.

Well, Ben, you did just turn 25 yesterday. So, I mean, I'd imagine puberty should be right around the corner. So I shouldn't give up. No, I don't know. That's what I... It's going to happen, man. They say 26 is when it happens. Okay. I couldn't do this. 25 to 26. I couldn't do this until I was like 25. So, like, the fact that... I'd say yes, give up now. You'd be like, what? Really? I had hope. It starts, like, migrating from your head down to your face. So... Huh?

It's a great migration. Like the hair follicles, they migrate down from your head to your face the older you get. Really? Yeah. They migrate. Like birds? They go south. Yeah, they go south. Yeah, they just don't go back north. Yeah, they don't go back north. Me and CJ are going bald. We are.

We are. I'm probably going to shave my mustache before this, though. I just feel like I can't be bald and have a mustache. Oh, I think you guys need to give a little context here. I don't know. When you said we're going. I think we'll just explain it in the video. No, that's fine. But you said we're going bald. Most people are going to take that as, well, yeah, no shit. I know CJ is, but it's news to me that Ben is. It's true.

It's true. It'll make more sense in a video. I'm wondering though, like, so we're going to go bald here, right? And we're like halfway through filming some of these videos because it takes so long to film these videos. People don't seem to understand, but you know, things are getting built and we're in this process. It's just going to go from like, we're not going to have this segment in between these other segments. So like, it'll be,

Us talking to the camera like this, that, whatever. And then next shot is like hands up, both of us looking like Dr. Phil. Well, it's going to be me, you, and Gavin. No, they're going to mistake us three. You wear hats enough where I think nobody's really going to notice it. I think you'll be able to tell though with the side and like the front, but who knows?

Ben's definitely going to be the most noticeable with chopping that mullet off. Yeah, you went from mullet to ball, dude. That doesn't happen very often. The only thing I'm worried about is how long it's going to take to grow back. I think it's going to be quite the journey just to get back to a normal hairstyle. The journey.

It's just going to be a warrior, brother. I think it's going to be fun to see. But I do love that you brought that point up. Whenever we are filming a video over time and just anything could happen. Halfway through a build, you could have a broken arm or something. That has been with you in your knee or something like that. Someone's all bandaged up or something or halfway through the video, Ken only has one eye. It's going to be like jumping.

You know, from us bald to like now we got hair. And then it's like going back. We're bald again. It's like, God damn, these guys grow their hair. But... We should go get wigs for you guys. Oh, there we go. You guys should like try out a new hairstyle. I'd go red. Really? I saw Sexy Red's wig. That shit looked unbelievable. Oh, that's... Just get a weave. That's a wig? Dude...

Yeah. She's got like a number two haircut. Can I look it up? No, I'm not kidding you. It looked like it was coming out of her scalp and everything. It looked like unbelievable how much it looked real. One time we were at this concert. We actually opened up the podcast talking about when we met Sean Kingston. It was the same night that we met Sean Kingston. It's not real. Isn't that crazy? And it even looks like they have the...

Hair sprout. There it is. You're the one where she's taking it off, where she's pulling off the wig. She just had it on her story the other day, like putting it on and then off, and it was crazy. CJ's dream girl right there. Sorry, Alex. I do want to say that, CJ, you a lot of times will be ahead of curve, ahead of the curve on a trend. And I think you really led the charge into sexy red being sexy.

Like, everybody loves sexy red now. And I think you were slightly ahead of the curve on that. You know, I appreciate those kind words, Ryan, but I don't think I... Like, I think based... I think she's just been crushing it. She was destined for stardom. 100%. But I think you recognized that a little bit earlier than everybody else.

I don't think you led the charge of her. I don't think he was necessarily like, this woman is, you know, going to be like something special. He was just like, this is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

I'd say both. But she was special too. Right. But yeah, and she makes good music. So, I mean, what's not to love? I mean, even walking around NASCAR, dude, people out there are listening to Sexy Red. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, she's just possibly the biggest artist right now. She's transforming, uniting cultures. Yeah, there's some people in this room that still don't get it. You looking at me or Mike? Both of you. All right.

I get it. I don't get it. What's not it? Just the amount of hype, that's all. That's all I should say. You can't tell me that you don't put on Get It Sexy and you don't just immediately start feeling it. I've never fed a Sexy Red through my phone. A Sexy Red song. Maybe that's why. You haven't experienced it yet. I am not quite to the level that CJ is, but I get sexy.

Is there any... Do you put it on in the Tesla when you're driving home sometimes? No, I usually do podcasts, but... He does Ben Shapiro podcast. Is there any way to pull up how many times CJ's played Get It Sexy? Let's just, you know, assume...

Yeah. I'd say in the thousands for that one song, Get It Sexy. Just this year. It's a banger, dude. It is a banger. I mean, the woman's rap scene, I wasn't too keen to it at first, but it is getting better and better. Like, they are evolving. And if you go to, like, Rap Caviar, like, half of them are woman's rappers now, which, in theory, there really was never a lot of them up until this time. Remember how much Ken used to hate Bad Baby? I still don't like Bad Baby. Yeah.

Really? Remember when we played Gucci flip flops? I always thought that Jake Sherbrooke and Bad Baby would have been a good combo. Back when he was going by banging. Banging and Bad Baby. That's a couple. What's your beef with Bad Baby? I just don't think her music's good. I think it's trash. I don't know if she really had that good of music back in the day. Gucci flip flops, why is a banger and

we know bangers. And I know bangers. It's tough because like nowadays, I don't even think your lyrics matter that much. It's more so just the beat being good and then the way that you like melody your voice to it. Yeah.

And like how it sounds to it. Not even necessarily what you're saying. Yeah. If you really listen to the lyrics. Yeah. It's like sexy red to a T. Yeah. I mean, it just sounds good. Yeah. I mean, I'll agree. It's just different time for music. It's evolving time. Power to the women. We went to NASCAR last weekend. We talked about it in the last podcast. We were fired up for NASCAR. Evan wasn't. Super lit.

Probably top five coolest things that we've gotten to do since starting Seaboys. Yeah, 100%. Such a good time. And I love to see that Evan came around to it too. At the end, yeah. At the end. He's always such a, you know, what would be the word? Hater? I don't want to say hater, but he's hard to like...

get them to go on to a trend or a train or whatever. But he did come around to it on the last day. He was like, all right, this is pretty sick. I'm having fun. He'll warm up to things, but... I've just been so enjoying lately, like, all the experiences that he's gotten to...

undergo. And he just doesn't know. I don't know who that... We're all tripping. Like, whoa, did you see? We just got to sit and rub elbows with so-and-so. With Alvin Kamara, the running back for the Saints. He's like, who? What's that? I didn't know who that was either. So I kind of felt how he felt. But we're meeting all kinds of people all over the country and he's just like...

You guys got any teas? I like that about him, though. He's just chilling. He doesn't even know who they are, and he doesn't even care, which is cool. I would say it was one of the coolest...

luxury into treatment, like special treatments. Sometimes when you are in like this position, that's what I would say it was like, it was definitely like, cause we normally don't get to like experience or where they're, Hey, like we're going to have this peep, this person's picking you guys up. They're driving you here. And then they're going to take you in the golf cart and you get to go and meet the

behind the lines and meet the drivers. And then we got these RVs set up. And you're, like, in this, like, hangout area with a bunch of other – I don't know what you want to call them, celebrities. Just group of other, you know, collectors. Yeah, yeah. So we, like, get – we're at this spot, and we got –

Elvin Kamara, who's like the running back for the Saints, hang in there. Then you got the barstool crowd. So you had Brianna Chicken Fry and then her friend Grace and some other barstool people there. It's not necessarily like our – I don't necessarily watch them, but the whole time they're just like TikTok-ing. They were TikTok-ing. They were TikTok-ing the whole time. TikTokers are going to TikTok, I swear. Every time I'm on one. Ben was like, God, these guys are just TikTok-ing.

The whole time I go, that was maybe the oldest statement I've ever heard you say. They just never stopped TikTok. They didn't the whole time. And like, we just would be in the background. We aren't TikTokers. Nonchalantly, like I'd be chilling. Next thing I know, I'm in the background of a TikTok. That's going up to a million people. And it goes up right that moment. You know, it's just that style of making content, but just like throw it up.

and you can run one run and it if it's good it's good if it's bad it's bad either way it's getting posted and uh pretty scary pretty scary yeah and uh yeah so that was interesting to like see and be a part of but it was funny because now like for instance i've been in i was in the background of a couple of them and like all these girls that uh

I haven't talked to since high school. You know, I was friends with them, whatever, but they're like sending it like, do you see her in the background? It's like, apparently this girl goes a long ways with the woman community. Cause then like, like I know like your girlfriend was like pumped that we were there like with them. Yeah.

So I was like, damn, these girls got some serious, uh, weight, dude, like weight in, you know, it's not really, we, we didn't know, but very, uh, influential. No, it is always cool to see like, so it was cool. Different people that we get to meet. And then like, we have some, not our crowd at all. Biggest fans of them. And they're like, what were they like? What, like, what did you talk to them? Like Greta? Uh, I texted Greta and was like, Hey, uh, Brianna chicken fry is here. And she was like, Oh my God.

Oh, my God. Please send me a picture with her. And I was like, oh, God, I really don't want to ask her for a photo. And Greta was like, just get a picture with her. And she was in there. And our friend Jeff, who we brought with, was kind of like fanboying. And we were like, yo, you got to just chill out, Jeff. And then he was like, I'm going to do it. Yo, can I get a picture? And I was like, God.

Yo, can I get a picture too? My girlfriend's a huge fan. Dude, you know what you hit her with? I was thinking about this when you said that. People will walk up to us and they'll go, hey man, my little brother's a big fan. And it's always the same thing. I go, hmm. Yeah, but it'd be like a girl coming up to us and being like, hey, my boyfriend's a huge fan. That's true. I looked at it more like that. It's a little better though. When you're in like that VIP...

It sounds so corny to say, but when you're in the VIP section, the whole point of secluding off those people is that way they're not getting bombarded by fans and pictures. And then when you're supposed to be in the same category and you're just like, hey, could I get a picture? And you're fanboying. That's probably why you didn't want to do that.

And kind of why we were like, we were telling Jeff, we're like, you got to give it a little bit of time. Let it, let it, let everyone settle in here, you know? Yeah. But it was so fun having Jeff with, which you guys will see in the video. He's just one of our friends. He's never really been in a YouTube videos with us, but he is the most outgoing, positive, electric, lovable person. I know he is so lovable and he is the life of the party. Like I've never met a single person that doesn't like him and he makes friends.

Like that. Instantly. Instantly. That's amazing. And he's just genuine, whatever. So, of course, by the end of that, he was like the superstar in the VIP area. He's dancing on the table. Every table. Everybody loved him. It was like, where's Jeff? Look for a table. He's dancing on it. Yeah, look up. And it was so much more fun having him there with us.

Because his excitement rubbed off more. I was excited, but his excitement rubbed off more on me and made me really excited about it. Exactly. Even more excited and just like, I don't know, just made it more fun. He's like the sunshine, dude. You feel it radiate on you. It makes you excited. You guys are going to love the video.

I don't know when that will come out because we literally have so many segments filmed. But, like, you're going to love it. He was, like, living like a rock star. When he's – a lot of elevated surfaces. He's dancing on the table. And he'd find them if there wasn't many. And, like, anyone who, I guess, dances like that knows how much energy it takes. And he was just going and going. He's up there. He's like the freaking Energizer bunny. Yeah, he's impressive. I was filming him, and we're all, like, cheering him on. Like, it was pretty electric. And this gal comes up and goes –

who is he? And I'm like, what? And she's like, I'm like, uh, my buddy, my buddy Jeff. And she's like, yeah, but like, who is he? And then I'm like, uh, he's famous. Well, I didn't know what she was getting at. I'm just like, uh, I don't know, dude, he's just crazy. He just, and then she's just like, like, is he famous? And then I was like, oh no, he's not famous. And then she's like, he sure looks like it.

And I'm like, you know, he really does. Yeah, it was funny, though, because the NASCAR workers and, like, marketing team that would be, like, kind of taking us around, I think it was on the last day, one of the girls, like, asked something about Jif, and I was like, oh, no, like, he's not...

He's not like in the videos or anything. He's just our friend. Like we just hang out all the time. Oh, wait. So he's not like famous or anything. And I was like, no, no, no. He's just, just a good guy. Yeah. And she was just like, wow.

And, like, I'm not kidding you. I think the barstool workers were, like, they were taking videos. I think they were, like, sending them back, like, we need to hire this guy. They hire people like that and, like, you know, make little shows out of them, like side things, just like Brandon Chicken Fry, for instance. You think you could do a roughing? Okay.

a construction barstool. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Dude, I think Jeff there, dude. He could take over the construction side of a barstool. They were just like, you guys should hire him. I was like, yeah, honestly, we should. Well, Jeff would just be like, he could even be like a behind-the-scenes hype man. Just take him with us everywhere. You just come and just hang out and just bump up

the energy. Let him do the talking. Yeah, no, he would just like fire us up. He'd end up being the main character. He'd end up just being the main character and then we'd have to change the channel to Jeff. Jeff. That'd be the name. Jeff. Jeff. It'd just be Jeff. Jeff TV. That actually kind of goes hard. Getting a kick out of the

you know, this party scene afterwards, like the, the fuck Kyle Busch guy, the really big fat guy. And dude, people were just like, just on some different energy. And like, some guy comes up to me with a microphone. He's like, how are you doing? Or,

how you doing? And then he like puts it to me. I'm like, good. How you doing? And he's like, I'm doing pretty good. Back to me. I'm like, what? Why you got a microphone? And I'm like, that's not even connected. He's just like one out brother. And then walks away and interviews someone else. That's kind of fun. It was fun. It was like a different, uh, a different type of party scene. It was interesting. Cause it was like wild, but then there's like,

a family with like two young kids there and they're like riding their trike. And then you got like, I don't know. You also have middle-aged women drinking, riding large trikes. I laughed so hard. I posted that on my story and somebody just responds, these middle-aged women doing anything they can to not lift a weight. Like that, that's their form of working out. Those are some bad-ass trikes. I would have liked one of those.

Those are probably harder to ride than walking, to be honest. Oh, yeah, dude. For sure. You got to get that momentum. You know what I liked about NASCAR is it's this, like, crossover between two cultures. You've got dudes that are sitting there in, like, very expensive RVs, like,

like a million dollars in an RV. They got a trailer. They got their freaking F450 Platinums pulling it. Yep. And then right next to them, you have some dudes that bought a Winnebago for $1,000 off of Craigslist or maybe just had it in their back 40 and just...

aired up the tires and put some sea foam in the gas tank and drove it there. And they're right next to each other sharing beers, having fun. Like it's such a good crossover of culture. Like everybody's just there to have fun. There really was the extreme of both ends. Of everything. Like you had, yeah, you had like, you know, a standard redneck and you had like a wealthy businessman. Yeah. And everyone was having a blast though. Everyone was just getting down, having fun. Yeah.

I would like to make that a tradition. Even if NASCAR doesn't give us the special treatment again, I don't even care. I would go just to even sit in the general admission. It was so fun. So fun. And it's so easy to downplay it like, oh, all they're doing is just going in a big circle, turning left. It is not.

It is just amazing. It's one of those things that you have to experience in person to feel it. It sounds insane when they come by. It's like nothing you've ever heard before. Then you feel it in your chest. It gave me this weird energy. When they would rip by in their

pack, there was like this energy that would like come off into you. And like every single time it was weird. Like it gave me like a tingling sensation inside my body. Yeah. By far my favorite part. Yes. You got that too. Oh yeah. I couldn't figure it out though. I was, it was when we were super close. I mean, they're coming by at 200 miles per hour. Yeah. Like 190. Something about them all being together so close. And I don't know. It was very, it was just,

Like you could hop in. Theoretically, if it was legal, you could hop in your car and floor it and drive home. The GTRs. That's what I mean. It goes 200 mile an hour. It does. But like you could drive really aggressively, go faster than a normal person may ever in their entire life. And you'd be like, nice. And you could sit down on the couch, watch TV and fall asleep. Like we're pretty...

We're a little calloused to adrenaline and stuff like that. You could take the shift to car, I'll do a bunch of burnouts, but that type of energy was just different. Yeah, no, I just think that cars were like, there was something about them all being together. There was just literally an energy coming off of the path.

hack when you were that close. And I could not figure out what it was. Like, it was interesting. Like, every single time, it was just... You know what it was? America. It was just some American pride right there. It was fucking sick. Like, they were saying how every track's different, every, you know, vibe is different, but that's what brings people back, dude. That feeling of all the cars...

You know what also was a nice little cherry on top for me was when my guy won me $700. So we did bets. Everyone took a person, and I won $700. So not only did I get to go there for free and have a blast, but I walked out $700 in my pocket. Yeah, must have been nice. Did I pay you for that? I think I gave you cash. I don't know. I was pretty tuned up. I don't remember either. I just collected a few hundred bucks from everyone, got some Venmos, and I was just...

I packed up and was just happy as a clam. Dude, it was just like such a classic NASCAR experience too of like, you know, you know, you know, you know, and then crash at the very end. Yeah. I,

I know. It's such a gnarly pileup where a guy went across the finish line on his driver's side door. He was riding the wall. At 100 miles an hour. We're just watching it like, oh my God, this is insane. Michael Jordan's team won. We saw Michael Jordan. We saw Michael Jordan. That was the sickest thing. Yeah, that was so sick. So I think a lot of the... I just saw the...

the finish of the last NASCAR race, the most previous one, one that just happened, uh, the, it was a three way finish, like neck and neck, like all within like a 10th of a second. And I think that does come down to the fact that they made all the motors the same and stuff. So like they have to be, yeah, people's is kind of lame, but in general, like the finishes should be a lot better because it's all built off of, yeah. Drafting and whatnot. So yeah, the,

finishes of that was crazy it basically boils down to strategy i mean we talked with the crew like all the drivers are relatively the same skill and they said that there was an exceptional top tier maybe like four or five that are like just actually just naturally better for you know whatever but but ultimately boils down to strategy or and just luck and and how the car performs that day and you know

It's a game plan. We got to meet Noah Grogson. He got third. Yeah, dude, that was electric. We were hanging with him before, and he was chilling. He was just chilling. And then he goes out there, and he was at the top three. And I was just like, this is so sick. I was more stressed out before Cletus' race.

He's sitting there in his trailer talking with us jabronis. I was more stressed out for him. Yeah, exactly. Me too. And he, like, raced in, like, two hours. I know. He's just chilling. Yeah, I was like, do they got to, like, get in the zone? Asking the guy who was kind of, like, chauffeuring us around. Should we get out of here? It was cool, though, because I think he knew who we were. Yeah. Like, he had seen the videos. And then...

signed a sword or just collectively, Seaboys TV signed the samurai sword you had in there. It was so sick. Also, I think Minnesota nice is a thing. People say we're the nicest up in the Midwest. I'd argue that the South is nicer. I think them people were sweeter than an Alabama sweet tea.

Exactly. I really did. I really enjoyed the people in Alabama. Even the people in the Buc-ee's, it's freaking 2 a.m. Yeah, man. That was amazing. We're causing a ruckus in this Buc-ee's, which is the size of a freaking Walmart. Dude, can we talk about that? Yes, we have to. Buc-ee's is crazy. They're like, hey, honey, how you doing tonight? They're chipper. You walk into a holiday around here, and the guy looks like he might stab you. They're better down there. They were like a serious...

They took a lot of pride in their... That place is like a mall. It was like a mall of the gas stations. You could buy... I swear you could probably buy new furniture for your living room in there. 100%. They had everything. How many gas pumps do you think they had? 69. It had to be at least 100. So we're pretty...

uh, larried up and we're on our way home. It had been a long day. We pull into this gas station thinking that it's just a normal gas station. Look out the window and there's like gas pumps for as far as you can see both directions. Like 120, 120 gas pumps. Yep. The way our jaws were on the floor. It was amazing. I was walking around just like, did you guys go in the bathroom? No. Okay. I took a video of the bathroom. Let me just show you guys. Whoa. Look at this. This huge. Oh yeah.

God damn, that was really bad. It's a truck stop. But it's like this on both sides. Whoa.

Wow. Yeah, I mean, I'm not surprised. That place was huge. Should I show? And then me and Evan were wrestling, and the woman. Is that what you were showing? Well, I was going to just show. I'm sure Evan wouldn't mind, but he was having a really good time by the time we got to Bucky's. Yeah, someone over-served him. Yeah, I think he over-served himself. Let me preface this. So I've been sober for the last four months. I haven't drank since December 31st.

And at NASCAR, yeah, obviously, it's very difficult. And I went into the weekend like, I'm just not going to drink because I feel so bad after it. And I just couldn't help myself.

So I got back on the liquor at NASCAR and holy crap, was it a good time. Definitely felt like shit the next couple days. Even more hungover than normal, but didn't regret a second of it. It was like one of those things. I wondered if I went sober for that long, like the next time that I drank, I'd be like, oh, I don't know. It's just like, it wasn't as fun as I remember it to be.

It was way more fun. It was more fun than I remember. It would have been nice to just be like, oh, yeah, I wasn't that good. I'm good for a while now. Okay, so I don't know. We might have to shuffle through some of this just because...

Haven't watched it back, and it might be some of it just might be flat-out nonsense. God, I hope this is funny. At least the end of it will be. There's nothing worse than just showing someone a video you think is going to be funny, and then it's not funny. It was extremely funny in the moment. Yeah, it was funny. I took a video of us celebrating at the very end of the race, like on my phone. Unable to connect. I thought I got the crash in there. I thought I got everyone celebrating, and I turned to Matilda and I go, I just...

Recorded the best video I've ever taken in my life. I watch it back with her and we both are just silent after she goes. She goes. Yep, that sucked. It was so bad. The good news is I was filming on the vlog camera and I literally didn't get to see the crash with my real eyes because I was getting a shot of you guys. Let's go. And I was like, it was such a just like a moment because I was like, dang, that was

the most insane finish ever, and I didn't see it, but I did get a video of my best friends cheering their asses off. If it makes you feel any better, I don't think I saw the crash with my eyes either. It's just everybody was screaming, and, like, it kind of... I could see some smoke down there, and then I just started screaming, too. It happened so fast. It was like I was trying to watch, and I couldn't, and... Oh, my goodness. I can already tell this is going to be rough. Okay, so Ben was, like, roughing up Evan here. What? What?

Justin. So for reference here, Evan thought that Justin was HR. So Evan was so larried up that he thought that we actually had HR here at Seaboys TV and Justin was in charge of it.

He's the merchandise manager. He is not HR. But he would be a good HR guy, probably. So we get in this bitch. Look at it. Look how big it is. Gas station in the world. Unbelievable. Everyone who... Dude, we got to go back. And they actually make Buc-ee's bigger than this. Ken's already finding himself around. What do you got there, Ken? Fresh food. Brisket sandwich. Fresh food, too. All at one... It was like one in the morning. Actually, almost two. Two.

I gotta find Evan here. There was furniture. Yep. By golly. Yep, they're selling furniture. Here comes Ben and Evan. Jeff, I'm like, uh-oh, better get over here. You guys found your way here too? I didn't realize Chase and Haley were going to be here. Ed, how you doing?

Look at this guy. He's a shell of a human being. Oh my goodness. So Ben starts choking him again, beating him up. If I fought back, I'd get fired. We went wide angle here. I thought maybe video, this might go on the YouTube. Look at him, he's smiling. It definitely should.

Attack. Tap out. One, two, three. I never tap out. This dude over here didn't know what to think. He's like, are we cool? And he's like, I think we're cool. What's wrong with you? It was so inappropriate. Goes back to Pan. Then you chase him around out here. Dude, Ben Noggin did almost get bonked on this pole. Evan couldn't believe how much it cost him.

It cost. Sorry. If his head would have got bonked, I mean, he was smacking that $13 sandwich out of Evan's hands. Dropped about half that sandwich on the ground out there. That was a sad sight. Dude, I don't know what got it. Actually, I do know what got into me about 14 high noons. Look at that run, dude. Gas station food? Gas station food?

I just can't explain how you go from standing in a field all day. You haven't seen like a real bathroom. And then you just think you're stopping at a gas station. You pull up and the thing is 40,000 square feet. It was the craziest experience. Anyone who has been to a Bucky's listening to this is like, yeah, yeah. But anyone who hasn't been to a Bucky's listening to this should just

It's actually an experience. It's an experience for sure. Shout out Buc-ee's. Yeah, dude, Evan was pretty torn up when we got back to the hotel room about the whole wrestling incident. He's like, dude, Ben doesn't understand that this applies for most people. But he's like, where I come from, when you want to wrestle, if you put me in a headlock, that means we fight until someone taps out.

It was a very light headlock. It was more of just like a bear crawl onto him. Right. One of them, of the five that were put down on him. But he's like, dude, I so badly...

wanted to, you know, put him in his place, but I didn't want to like get arrested at Bucky's. So I just played dead. That's what he's doing. It's arrested. Evan fights back, takes Ben down once. Ben calls the cops. I'm calling the cops. Cops were in the parking lot. They were. They rolled up. Evan gets taken away after seven takedowns on him. He's like, fucking A. He's so mad.

All right, what else we got? Good times at NASCAR. What else we got so we're not just talking NASCAR? So have you guys ever sold anything on eBay? Okay, yes, I have. It's kind of funny. You have? Yeah, yeah. That's cool. I've never sold anything on eBay. eBay's been around forever. So I'm like, well, I'm going to sell...

Uh, some exhaust that I have from one of the dirt bikes, brand new, throw it up on there. Don't want to haggle around. Don't want it to sit up there forever. So I look at everything. Everyone else is selling it for around 200 bucks. I'm going to sell it for one 25 shipping included. I want this thing gone, put it up and then it sells like right away. I went, okay, maybe we're too low on the price. Uh, maybe didn't need to include shipping. Uh,

Homie from Puerto Rico buys it. No. And I'm like, oh, why did I do free shipping? No! Then I go to the UPS store to ship it. And the UPS store? We got Ken back here. I know. It was tough because a couple days had gone by, and I'm like, well, I forget that also. I got to get this shit done. You can't just ship it out when you want. When it says five to seven days, you should...

honor that so i go to the ups store and they're like oh yeah puerto rico dang yeah it's pretty heavy item 247 so then i so i didn't do that but then i went to the usps store so i sold it for 125 ebay takes like 25 bucks of that of course and then it was 106 to ship and i mostly just went through with it

He paid money for a nice Puerto Rican man to get the six stars. I'm like, one, I can't. Why don't you just cancel it? You can cancel it. I know. He didn't want to ruin his celebrating. I didn't want to ruin my celebrating.

You can make a new account. I also knew that too. I was like, I know I'm one sale and I could just make a new account. But instead I was like, you know, I'll pay six bucks to keep my cell rating up. Keep this. Go to Puerto Rico and figure out where that guy lives. For the one thing you're probably going to sell on eBay in the next 10 years. But I mean, not, not true. It was a bad experience, but like, I definitely want to do more of it, but also because it was actually really easy.

This is why Mike doesn't sell things. But, yeah. This is why you're a hoarder. He honestly pays to sell them. He loses the item and he pays them to take it. Does eBay take less of a fee when you start to sell more stuff? No. I remember that. I was very disappointed. I sold some wakeboarding findings. No, I know, but you were never a selling thousands of items seller. No. I think I sold a few things, though. Steve Hamilton, our friend Steve, he owns Custom Offsets.

He started his business selling wheels and tires on eBay. That's the only place that he sold for a while. They do take a lot. I just wonder if you're getting to the point where you're selling, let's say, hundreds of items every month. Can they work through a little less of a percentage? Because that means if you're selling something for $1,250, it will take $250 of those dollars.

That's crazy. There's no way that fees that high. If the percentage is the same. I'm just saying $125, they took 25. Wow. So I was just like, dang, that's steep. You know, I mean, maybe I will just stick to Facebook Marketplace, even though it was much easier than selling something on Facebook Marketplace.

You got to text that Puerto Rican guy and be like, listen, man, I paid $6 to give you this. Just at least send me a video of it on your car, man. Dude, just the fact you drove all the way to UPS and he drove to USPS. He dealt with those guys when they're packing it up the box. 13%?

Holy crap! And then if you get over $7,500 in sales, then it drops down. Okay. 15% on books and magazines. That's insane. What does it drop down to after? We should start at eBay. Screw all the other things we're doing. I just got to hit $7,500. Per item, dude. That's what the seller... Yeah, like, was he cool to deal with? Oh, yeah. No, he was... I mean, he didn't say much, but...

I do want to know if like, okay, so if he just got the thing down to Puerto Rico cause he knew he was getting a good deal on it and then he was just going to flip it to someone else, then that's just bummer. But if it is on his bike, then that's cool. Isn't it just a stock exhaust? Yeah. What?

What the... Mike, you are such an interesting man. Mike, is that from the bike that I sold last week and where the guy wanted the exhaust? Oh, yeah. That was the other funny thing. So, like, I don't get rid of much. We don't really get rid of much. And then I just... I'm like, yeah, I'm just going to sell this stock exhaust. Just try my way at eBay. I just don't get why you would do that because it was like... That sounds like such a waste of your time. It was a company...

Yeah. You were going to make the company $125. Wait, so we paid $6 to ship the exhaust? No, no, no. I didn't put that on the company card. Oh.

No, it was a company exhaust, but here's what happens with all of our shit. Nothing. Garbage. Yeah. Give away. So I'm like, I'm going to make some money. Because it's efficient. Throwing things away. It seems like your time was the biggest loss in this situation. How much time did you spend creating the listing? I would say creating the listing, 10 minutes. And then how much time did you waste going to go ship it? Talking with this guy. Wasted probably 15 minutes going to UPS and then succeeded probably another 10 minutes.

15 to 20 minutes at usb almost an hour into your time to lose yeah i didn't know i was gonna lose six dollars you act like i planned for that

I feel like even if it would have made like 500. Micah's like, damn, this is a pretty good deal. No, no, I'm not that stupid. So was the guy like cool at least? Like was he excited about the sock exhaust? What did he need it for? No, he needed it three days before. No, when you buy something on eBay, you don't like say what you need it for. I didn't know if he was like, hey, man, I need this exhaust for my bike. His pickup. He said, when will they send my item? And I'm like.

Hey, I apologize for sale on eBay, but shipping it out tomorrow. I said, exhaust. Yeah, just basically explained it. Then I'll send you the tracking number. They said, thanks for reaching out. And he said, calm down. Thank you very much. Why did he say calm down? And that's the only thing he ever said. I sent him the tracking number. Calm down. Calm down.

It was a great experience. I thought it was so funny. You got to message him now and go, can I at least get a five-star seller rating, please? I should ask him for one. Imagine he gives you one star. Yeah, then I would just delete my account and never sell anything on eBay again. Seller was slow and late. It is true. I do love that you do things like that, though, Mike. It gives us a great podcast conversation. That's for sure.

That's what makes you you. It's funny that I still do want to do it more, though. I mean, eBay's been around for so long, and honestly, they have done a good job of evolving. They are slightly irrelevant, but they are evolving with the times and sticking around, you know?

They make a hell of a YouTube episode with us at Monster Truck. They did. They did. Got quite a bit of views, too. Yeah. One of the best things that they could have done was the guaranteed fit thing. Because so many people don't buy something because they're like, I don't know if it fits, and I'm not trying to spend $200 and have to send it back just because it's not even made for my vehicle. I think that helps, especially non-car people.

Okay, I need this new window actuator for my car. It says it fits. Most places do say that, but eBay is like such a wild west, so for them to

Include that. Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, they do kind of still have that 2007 internet feel to them. Yeah, it does. It feels like when you're scrolling it, it's like, damn, am I getting scammed here? Yeah, you don't really know. Pictures are just never as good. Evan Point hasn't migrated to Amazon, so he still buys everything. Evan doesn't really only use eBay. Evan stayed in 2007. It's crazy. Well, eBay kind of reminds me of Craigslist.

Craigslist is falling off. Yeah, Craigslist is tough. They're done, man. Remember Craigslist Misconnections or whatever? Or Men Seeking Women? Men Seeking Women was tame, but the other one was... I'm going to see if I can find some. Mark met his ex-girlfriend there, didn't you?

Off Craigslist? The look on Mark's face right now. Says it all. He's like, don't fucking say this online. I don't even, I'm not even familiar with this. What is it? So the premise is basically, say, it became popular, I think, when the internet was a little less popular. You go out to the grocery store and

And you see this woman and you're like, wow, she's so pretty. You lock eyes for a minute and you're like, oh, I wish I could meet her again. No fucking way. You go on Miss Connections, right? And then you would be like, we locked eyes in the grocery store. You were pushing a cart full of radishes. Tell them things you noticed. I had the Oreos.

Bro, what? Yeah, and then you hope that they see it and then or someone sees it that knows them or something and then somehow puts you in. Have you guys used it? Anyone else here? Used it? No, no. Read it and laughed at it and was entertained by it? Yes. Wait, that makes so much sense. Last night we were at dinner and we were all sitting at this table and...

CJ says something about behind Justin and Justin stands up and goes, we should buy that. And then just locks eyes with this very tall man standing there. And they just both stare at each other. Can buy me three seconds, like long enough where it's uncomfortable to look into somebody's eyes.

And then he turns around and walks away, and Justin turns around and is just like, oh, my God, what just happened? And then he goes, I need to find that guy on Miss Connections. That makes sense. Go back to Miss Connections. You had it up. So there would be listings like this, looking for guy for fun. Click that one. Looking for a guy to have some fun with today. 50s guy here. Mid-50s guy here. That's like the shit.

I can't imagine it's a pretty situation if you're linking up that way. Yeah. You know, it's just weird shit like that. And then there'd be like sting operations because like there's women that are basically running a prostitution business through Craigslist. And then there'd be like sting operations or the police would also go in and create their own listing and do a sting that way. So it's like they were busting both ways. And, and then even the third and, uh,

Here's one. DoorDashDriver, you brought my Indian food to my house. You smiled and had some amazing legs. If you see this, tell me your name and what color your car was.

Exactly. I just feel like the odds nowadays of this actually working out. Well, there's got to be some success stories. Beautiful woman in Cub Foods with mom. I want to meet you. Friday night at Cub's Foods in Maple Grove. I saw you in produce. I'm kicking myself for not approaching you. Let's try again this Friday night around 630. Unreal. Damn. So he's going back there with hopes of running into this person. That's got to be more of a waste of time than losing six bucks on eBay. Yeah. Yeah. I mean...

it's a chance for love though mike kenneth true you are a beautiful black lady and you were in line with an older white gentleman i talked to him about if this is where you pay my real estate taxes later i did see you looking at me well what was that guy's name kenneth things are adding up hold on what was the read that again now you are a beautiful black lady

And you were in line with an older white gentleman. I talked to him about if this is where to pay my real estate taxes later. And I saw you looking at me. You just came into my office the other day and you were talking about paying the real estate taxes. And you said you were headed off to do that. Where was that at? That was in Detroit Lakes. Oh my...

Was it actually? Yeah. Are you serious, Ken? Technically, the bubble is a little north of Detroit Lakes. What day was it on? 4-23. What day is that? Tuesday. He came into my office on Monday. Probably just a coincidence. Do you have any explaining to do, Ken? Probably just a coincidence, huh? I mean, this is all lining up, especially after the speed dating. This sounds like a...

a reach but uh i don't know maybe maybe it will work out this is far from a reach this is just like a it's right there sitting right in front of us kenneth made the post yeah his name was kenneth he said my name is kenneth i kind of like kenneth kenneth matthews i call him kenneth yeah sometimes when he's in trouble kenneth kenneth jendrick pull up some of the like ones on uh instagram we'll get we'll get a couple of the good ones yeah there's some all right moving on okay

I've been down bad before, but not quite Miss Connections on Craigslist down bad. I don't judge. I don't judge. This is something that I would imagine, like the people that leave hate comments on our videos telling us how worthless we are. Yeah. Although maybe somewhat true. I can't imagine you would say that to my face in person, but you would make a post on Craigslist trying to get my attention somehow. So have you guys ever looked on Miss Connections, hoping you'd see?

Because, like, you know, there wasn't dating apps before. I've used dating apps. It's cool. Come on, Mark. Oh, my gosh. Mark, give us your best Miss Connection story. Like, some of these apps. I'm definitely not fucking saying it now. So, because you can't say it, does that mean you have done it? Yeah. Well, maybe it'll work for you. Come on, Mark.

Maybe it'll work for that random guy, Kenneth. Yeah, good luck to that guy, whoever he is. Whatever he's doing now. Dude, all right, this one's wild. The tag is, you farted in Trader Joe's. You were the tall brunette with the near-perfect body that farted in the bread section last night. I was the tall guy next to you that looked over and asked you, was that you? You quickly replied, no, that wasn't me.

You almost seemed insulted, I would ask. As the stink grew, you continued to deny your flatulence, but it was evident. I tried to get rid of the stench by waving two loafs of cabiata bread. You proceeded to storm off angry manner. You are beautiful, and even if you are a liar and fart like a Clydesdale, I'd love to meet up sometime.

That one definitely could have been about Ken. Sounds like Evan. As a joke, that's really funny. But if that's real... Although you're a liar and you put it in Clydesdale. Can you imagine standing there and it smells so bad you have to start waving your two loaves of bread? Two loaves of bread. Mark, was that when you...

Yeah, in the bread aisle. No one loves bread more than Mark. I loves bread. We can't even, like at some of our favorite restaurants, I think it's just a rule to us. They say everyone gets this treatment, but like you only get one loaf now. And I think it's because Mark

They eat so many that they're like, this guy, we're losing money on him. So the complimentary loaves of bread, we're limiting them just to one when we walk in. One time Mark came down to the lake early because he was dropping off a couple loaves of bread at all the local restaurants that we were going to go to that weekend. We got three loaves last night. All in front of Mark. I really have been coming up with good children's movies ideas. I think if we ever like...

Quit doing this or the company is able to expand. I think I'd like to write movies because I think you can write movies and be really stupid and then someone else smart makes them happen. Probably, yeah. Yeah, I mean... We gotta go through and edit it. Well, the thing that's... Cartoons would be super easy to make. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, because you can just...

The thing that scares me about writing a movie is like, let's say you fully committed. Like you were really liking this idea. So that the idea is one thing. And then you turn it into a movie like nights and nights and nights of writing. And then you like hand it to someone and they don't want to just revise it. They're like, nah, your idea is shit. That would be heartbreaking. I'll just take this one all the way home just by myself. I wrote it in the car to Fargo, dude. I like got in the car, was going to Fargo and there was a fly in there with me. And I was like, damn.

This fly, like I'm taking him 50 miles away from the home that he was at before. Right. And so the movie would be about this bug that gets trapped in a car and then it gets it goes on a road trip with a family. Right. And so the bugs stress in. It's like freaking out. And then they get to like an amusement park. The family in the car gets the amusement park, opens the door, and there's a ton of other bugs. They're trying to find their way home.

I don't know what you call it. Maybe a bug's life or something like that. It's actually pretty good, Ryan. Yeah. I could see that. It's like a character building event. What's like the grocery store movie with like all the animated foods? Sausage party. It takes like a weird twist at the end. Yeah, weird twist at the end. Yeah, like an adult party. It's like, you know, like when the, in Toy Story, when they get separated from the house, they got to get back. Oh,

Yeah, it's kind of the same thing, but with a bug. Is that just a rip-off from Toy Story? No, I didn't know that it was, but this one's different. I obviously don't know how to make cartoons, but if I could just write the story for a cartoon and the cartoon characters are just us, so it's just basically our show, but we don't got to coerce or try and make this play out the way that we're hoping because oftentimes we got an idea, but no one else has filled in on it, and we're kind of hoping it's going to go this way, so we're kind of trying to...

maneuver so it the outcome comes out to the way it does for the video but if it was a if it was a freaking cartoon I could just be like alright so he says this he says this this this and then this happens like it'd be and it'd be so easy I swear we could make a cartoon show later on in life and we just have all of our characters and we just embellish everything about us and make it a hundred times funnier I could see it and it would it would be so funny too because you could just make whatever happen

Like Ken's just a little bit bigger and more of Ken. And then Evan's just a little bit shorter, but more of Evan. Everyone will just be kind of just clowned on. And you can just make anything happen. It is in a way kind of like South Park. They based those off of characters that they knew in their town. They actually did? I mean, not like exactly, but some of them are. No shit. I didn't know that.

It's kind of cool. I mean, I'm sure honestly making cartoons will be easier and easier. Realistically, this is all you need. A person who can write the story, a person who does the animation, people doing voices. Dude, someone just type in the AI font. They'll just make that shit happen. Put it together. It's just going to be AI. Put it together and then wherever you're distributing it. So whether you're going Comedy Central or just YouTube or Netflix, wherever. That's actually a pretty good idea. I think we can make AI do that. You don't even got to do shit. You just, just.

Just sit back. Probably. And just think. Be funny. Yeah. You're already doing it. We could do that. Cartoon Boys TV. I don't know. Maybe we go children's show with it. It goes on Nickelodeon.

I'd rather be more adult humor. I think it'd be way funnier. I love all the weird adult jokes that are in cartoons that Spongebob, I think, was pretty notorious for doing that. There were so many different references that, as a kid, you don't think twice about. And then, as an adult watching it, you're like...

Is he, like, saying what I think he's saying? And some of them are really hidden. I just remember seeing, like, some of them are like, oh, okay, I get that. That's funny. They were chill putting that in there. Like sandy cheeks? But, yeah, just stuff like that. Like, that's funny, and it's, like, it's fine. But I just remember seeing one. I still don't know if this is real, but Spongebob was, like, buried in the sand, and then crabs, like, grabbed him by the nose and pulled him out of the sand. And then when he was holding him, Spongebob was upside down, and then it, like, pans down and –

and his face is all exposed. His nose was just there. He was not holding him by his nose.

Ken, could you look these up? Look up some... Yeah. Like, you ever heard of... Like, they have all these conspiracy theories of, like, what the underlying message was for Spongebob or, like, Rugrats has, like... Like, they have these crazy things where... Dude, Spongebob conspiracy theories are crazy. It's kind of like, do I think that's actually the real underlying thing? Probably not, but it's easy to, like, you know, kind of... Oh, nice. I like this. I'm down here.

Squidward said I could help by burying myself. Oh my gosh, dude. Is that real? There's no way. That's funny, dude. The way they chopped it, I'm sure. That's hilarious. Good jokes out there in kids TV. Well, I'll catch you guys on Miss Connections. I hope not.
