Has anyone ever called the cops on someone? Yeah, one time. That's called snitching. Mike Bonds' PlayStation 4 hot dogs. These would be super chill. The Olympic. We should encourage that.

I was thinking about the next couple weeks. WeFest slash New York next week. Then the week after that is Sturgis. Then the week after that, I'm going to Johnny's. Classic. Then the week after that is nothing. And then the week after that is Hay Day's.

Labor Day is the week. Yeah, the weekend before that. Labor Day. Then it's Hay Day. Just like an insane six weeks. Yeah, I feel like that's been like the last six years. Yeah. Fuck, you're right. What's up, guys? Welcome back to another episode of Guys Talking Into Microphones. We are the guys, these are the microphones, and I'm about to ask the hard-hitting questions. And I'm going to speak into the microphone with an answer. Proud of you, dude. What do you think? Be ready to...

received some heat back. All right. Evansbury fired up this bod. Uh-oh. Don't put this all on me, Ben. Put what? All of it. It's true. You are the only guy with a, what is that? Champagne in a bottle over there. We got a little high life. Champagne and beers. Really upgraded. Well, I was just going to ask you guys, like, what do you think the dogs know about vacuums that we don't? Dogs. Dogs. The one, like, when they bark at vacuums? Yeah, dogs hate vacuums. They also, a lot of dogs hate turning wheels.

They hate when wheels turn. If the wheel is sitting there, you know, it's like... To be fair, it's like head level, eye level at them. Yeah. I just always remember that like in the power wheel, you're in the power wheel, you could stop and they just are like, what's up? And then you start moving. Yeah.

Good point, Mike. What about cats and cucumbers? What do they know about cucumbers? And I tried it and it didn't work and I wished it did because that shit's pretty funny. Yeah, Mike, you're a cat guy, aren't you? Yeah, you just set a cucumber next to the cat and nothing happens. So that's a thing, cats are... They like turn around and see it and then they jump 10 feet in the air. Evan loves cucumbers. That's so crazy. Inside of his... His prison wallet. Oh, man.

Oh, good stuff, guys. All right, hit us with another one. Another one? Yeah. That was the only one I could think of on my long plane ride yesterday. It was all over the gosh dang place. I wish apples were called red. Reds. Reds? You can buy red ciders. Oh, grab me an orange and a red. Bananas are called yellows. Yeah, I like that. Grab me a bundle of yellows.

Mike, have you always been a cat guy, Mike? Yeah, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I grew up with cats and dogs, but like... Like house cats, though? No. You used to have like farm cats. That's what's kind of funny. Yeah, no cats were ever allowed in the house. But was it dog? Dodge? No. No, yeah. No animals in the house. But we had like farm cats and they would just fire babies out. Like multiple litters a year. Just fire them out. The first mama cat we had had 10 babies the first time she had cats.

Yeah, dude. We're like, what do we do? Right when we became friends, like not too far after, you were like, yeah, I always got these kittens. So me and Greta came over. Yeah, what'd you do? That was the first and last time I ever went to your house, Mike. Really? Yep. Only once? Yeah, because I wasn't there at the time that you guys had the party and your grandparents found out. Yeah. I wasn't either. I've never even been there. The cats are really easy to give away, believe it or not. Yeah, people like cats. Like when you just like shove a cute little tiny kitten in their face, they're like,

Yeah, I'll take it. Well, we had a cat in the shop, Bella, for a little bit. We were a cat household over here. Yeah. R.I.P., Bella. R.I.P. She was a good cat. Fucked a lot of stuff up, though. A lot of doors. Yeah, you can still see where Bella was. That's kind of the nice thing is when you had your MasterCat parked inside, she scratched up, not really that much, but she scratched up the foam, which is easy to replace. But now you leave it to member her. So, Mike, why do you think you are a cat guy?

I don't know. Cause I think it's a little bit emasculating.

Being a cat guy. Yeah. Like being honest. I forget that you're a cat guy. And then I see your stories. It's like when someone's like, Mike has a cat. He's got like a whole other life that we don't know about. Yeah. Like when people find out I would prefer a cat over a dog. Really? Like, you're so whack, bro. I think that is crazy. I think that's a tough thing to like come out and say. I agree. I don't think like, obviously I love Daisy, but I could see the draw between

of a cat because the cat just kind of like does its thing and it isn't barking and loud and running around all the time. Yeah, cat's only cat that knows where it's at. Yeah, but like the point, I feel like the point of having a dog is like it kind of acts as like a companion, you know, but cats are just like little dicks. They are. Yeah, that's why I love cats.

You know what is funny? It's literally, it's like a brother. You know, like we like dap it up and hang out. And then the next thing you know, he's biting me. And I'm like, ah.

Get out of here. That's what I'm saying. He's a little dick. Aren't you allergic to cats, Mike? Dude, yes. Like, I was, and now, like, not really that bad. You just grew out of it? You just permanently, you just got used to it? You know, I was like, well, I'll get used to it. I'll take allergy pills. And then, like, now in the season, I have to take allergy pills here and there. But, like, isn't that crazy? I'm just, like, not allergic to cats anymore. That's really lucky. That'd suck dick if you lived in a house that had a cat then. We're going to get another one. Really? Yeah.

What is it called?

It's the second cat. Siamese. Yes, it's like a purebred, which I always feel bad about. Oh, shit. I always feel bad about, too. Like, you should go to the shelter and freaking rescue, you know, even if you don't want an old one. Like, go to the shelter and get, like, a young one. A purebred cat? It's a ragdoll. Oh. Yeah. Whoa. So they're just, like, big, fluffy. You got to be careful, too. Like, you have a cat already that's used to home, and you bring another one in. They might just hate each other. Dude, I know. I'm worried. So who's going to win?

Probably slightly more. Probably the current cat, Franklin. So why do you want to get another cat? Just like cats. Ragdolls are cute as fuck. He could use a friend. My girlfriend has a cat like that. Oh, look at that little thing. They got bright blue eyes. What are you going to name it? I don't know.

I don't know. Thomas. That's a good name. Blanket. Blanket. Shout out Michael Jackson. Alex has a cat, my girlfriend. Since she was like a kid. And I was super, super allergic to it. So now the cat just stays at her mom's house. Really? So you won over the cat? Yeah. I mean, I didn't really make her choose. She just...

She choked. Yeah. The cat got kicked out. That was nice of her. That is nice. We had a shop cat for a couple weeks. That was fun. Lunchbox? Again, I'm not a dog. I would never show up to the shop with a cat and be like, no, it's going to be fine. We can have a shop cat. I mean, I would love it. But also, a shop dog.

It was fun having the cat lunchbox, but it was a wild cat, and Ken was allergic. I was allergic, and you were still allergic back then at least. I was allergic too. Ken was allergic. It was leaving hair. Dude, honestly, you'd be surprised for how big and open the shop was. It would just leave enough hair around that eventually you were kind of like, yeah, I was just like sneezing, whatever, itchy eyes and stuff.

He was more of a rescue. And then once it warmed up, we let him back outside. Lunchbox was a good cat, though. Such a good name, too. This is funny. I just love funny names. Yeah, how did Lunchbox... Did you come up with that, CJ? Yeah, basically. Well, actually, I got to give credit to Alex's sister. She started calling him Lunchbox, I think. And then I just really picked up on it. I could see myself getting a dog, maybe.

Couple years. You just wait. Haven't committed to it, but just keeping it open. I don't know. I think having a dog would be pretty awesome. My girlfriend's family has a dog and I love it. Bridger. Yeah. Is that their only dog? No, they have two.

Bridger is the only one that gets as much love. I just love Bridger. Bernese Mountain Dog, huge. Slobbers everywhere. Dude, they bring that thing everywhere. But he's just like such a lover. Everywhere. So cute. Like, I mean, it goes to Big Sky. It goes everywhere. Yeah. For being like larger than a human. Yeah. It's huge. 120 pounds. Oh my God, dude. But that's like on the higher, like the heavier end of Bernese Mountain Dogs from my understanding. So like most of them I think are like,

between 100 to 80 pounds so it's like not as big but still a huge dog yeah i think it'd be so cute having dog running around around here like around the shop though it would i honestly i'm some days down and then other days i'd be like it'd just be tough we're too on the go for a dog

But maybe one day. It will be difficult. There's no way. Who would take care of it? Everybody. Yeah, yeah. You say everybody, but then they go, oh, he's got to take care of it. No, he's taking care of it. He's taking care of it. Next thing you know, dog's hungry. Yeah. Shitting all over the place. I'm always all for when, like, friends, you know, we got a lot of friends that have dogs when they're just like, even if it's not often, they'll put the dog up at a, you know, a boarding. Yeah.

I don't know. That's where we'd get a dog and we'd just put them up at a boarding school. Yeah, for like weeks on end. But I mean, you know, I don't know. That's like my aunt and uncle, like they have a dog and they just never leave the house because they're like, well, the dogs. Oh, yeah. That's how a lot of people are. I mean, you got to go out. Yeah, sometimes. Yeah, dogs actually kind of,

Or, like, just, like, having, like, a little kid. My dad says they're worse than kids. They are worse. I feel like you can bring kids more places than you can bring dogs. Yeah. Good point. And they eventually get self-sufficient after a handful of years. The dogs are going to keep needing you. Yeah. Good point. Yeah, you're talking me out of it. It reminds me of someone called Dave Portnoy out for, like, they're like, what's up? He's on a virtual podcast with some dudes, and, like, they post it on Barstool. But they're like, what's up with your hat?

peaches he did you haven't trained her yet and he just got so offended and he's like yeah what they're they're eating your thousand dollar gucci shoes and he's just like how is that better than a kid or whatever and like he got so angry and then oh shit everyone on the internet loves his dog peaches but yeah i just thought it's really funny i think there was that was a soft spot because i think that's why he and his girl split was because the kid thing

Can't speak on it. Not like he's listening to this, but you know, can I talk about my day yesterday? A little bit within some level of secrecy. Go for it, Fred. Yesterday I was in an airport from 4 a.m. until 1145 p.m. is when I landed. I went from here to Denver to Florida, from Florida to Minneapolis, back to here.

And it ended up, thankfully, being the most pointless day ever. I went to go check out our new giveaway and it ended up being good. The concern was is I would get there and I would find flaws and then we'd be like, all right, we're not going to buy that. Thankfully, it was perfect. That is amazing. All in under 24 hours. All in under 24 hours. It was funny because the people next to me were talking about how long their travel day had been and they left the airport at like noon. And I was like, come on.

But it was a long day. Yeah, it was tough, dude. It's almost 24 hours of traveling. Yeah. And I just ended up back in my bed. I didn't. I was only on the ground in Florida for like less than three hours. I was out of the airport for an hour and a half and actually probably two hours and 45 of it was driving to where the new giveaway was at. Damn.

Dude, what is it about traveling that makes you so tired? I know, dude. You're not doing anything besides for just getting up out of your seat in the plane, walking to the next seat, sitting down, and then you might get up one more time and then hop in the plane again. Yeah. But at the end of the day, you're like, oh, God, I'm exhausted. I feel like I've done so much. I thought it was all the beers. Yeah, that might have something to do with it. It was tough, dude. I did have one, but it was kind of like, what's the point when you're not with anybody, you know? It's like running the e-bikes in eco mode. Yeah.

Dude, but yeah, I mean actually that's uh, it's such a stupid thing to say but I'm like that's why you fly private Mike no, like, you know when we we got to do it one time the whole like no waiting thing like show up at the airport 8:15 in the air by 8:30 that's sick and then just cutting all that hoopla out of it like yeah flying is like sometimes

You'd almost rather drive. Obviously not to Florida. I did think that. I was like, oh, I wish I could just be driving right now. And then I thought about how far I would have had to go. Well, dude, I flew to Montana last week. I left the shop at 3 and I got to Montana. In the morning? No, in the afternoon. I left the shop here at 3 p.m. and I got to...

- Greatest house in Montana at 3:00 AM. - Oh no. - Holy shit. - It would have been one hour faster to drive. - I was saying you hardly beat that. - What happened?

I was just like some bullshit of like they didn't have a flight attendant so we ended up waiting in the airport for like three hours for this flight attendant. How are they? How is this a problem? I'll hand out drinks and snacks. Mike, you'd be a great flight attendant. I could actually see you doing that, Mike. You'd be giving everything out for free. You wouldn't be charging them.

I see it. When people are on planes, if you ask for extra snacks and extra ice and extra this and that, they'll just give it to you. Flight attendants to me, they're like UPS drivers. I think they got good benefits.

Yeah, I think so. As long as they show up every day and just make sure that your experience at Delta or whatever is amazing, I think they get really good benefits. Well, just Delta employees in general, I think, get pretty good benefits. But the Delta pilots get insane benefits. Maybe not necessarily benefits, but the schedules that they are able to negotiate after being a pilot for a couple of years.

are like wild. Yeah, man. I think some of them are working like four days a month. Whoa. To be a pilot, you get paid a shit ton of money. Sounds kind of great. Not going to lie. Like if I go back in time, I wouldn't change anything. But like, if I was not going to be doing this. You look good in that. I could actually see you being a pilot. My eyes aren't good enough. I know I do kind of look like a pilot. Just fucking sit there. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. You do look like a pilot. The way that he sits there. The way that he walked in with the thing. I wish we had a pair of aviators. I mean... We could find something. Honestly, this guy's an aviator. That is obviously a pilot. Sunglass wear. I have seen on the last two flights I've been on, someone has gotten kicked off the plane, and the pilot is like the first guy that comes up and kind of like has to corral the person. I like that. Who the hell is flying the plane? Well...

But you are right it's like why does he he should someone else should be in charge of that I gotta fly this plane and in like 20 minutes. I got And then yeah, what if he gets beat up?

So what happened with these guys that got beat up and then everyone misses a fight? I don't know. It was, it was really weird. It was late and we were sitting there waiting, not moving. And I'm like, what, what's going on? I look at the front of the plane, the pilots talking to someone in like the front row of the plane, front row, first class. I'm like, okay, you know, maybe they're buddies. He's maybe there's another pilot up there or something like that.

About another 15 minutes goes by and I'm like, hmm, what could possibly be happening? And then the cops show up and kick this lady off the plane. They sat there and talked with her for like 20 minutes because the one when the guy was behind me, he was fighting back. He's like, I'm not leaving. You can't tell me to do this. I'm legally here. He kept saying, I'm legally here. And they were like, no, you're not. Get off the plane. But this lady...

The cops came and they blocked off the thing and then carried her off the plane. Did you take a video of it? I'm trying to play it. I just have pictures. I have a video of the guy who was hollering behind me a few flights ago and then he hits his head. He was just really drunk.

On the last flight that I was on, I think the woman next to me, like, on the other side, like, I was sitting on the aisle, like, one of the aisle seats, and then a woman in the same row, other aisle, I think she had, like, a heart attack or something. What? Because, like, there was, like, a bunch...

Like all the flight attendants came and they were like surrounding her. I slept through all this, which is crazy. But Greta was sitting right next to me watching it all go down. She didn't even wake you up? Didn't wake me up. Bless her soul. And then we like landed the plane and then like EMS came onto the plane and like got her off. Took her off? Yeah. Whoa. Yeah. So then I was like, what's going on?

You just missed so much. Landed in the nearest city or landed in the same place you took off? No, it must have been close enough to land in Bozeman. He goes, anybody a doctor? Greta looks over, not him. Definitely would not have been. I don't know what the hell I'd do. Ben wakes up. There's too many snakes on this motherfucking plane. I have never seen that movie. I'm way too afraid of snakes. Isn't that a pretty bad movie?

I don't know. No, I think there's a meme movie about snakes on a plane. Have you guys seen the movie's airplane? I have those on VHS, actually. How about Soul Plane? Is that the one with Snoop Dogg? Purple Plane? Yeah, I think so. Speaking of Snoop Dogg. Speaking of purple. What happened with Snoop Dogg? Oh, dude, he just, like, rang in the Olympics. Snoop Dogg? Yeah. Didn't they kick some people out of the Olympics for smoking weed last year? Or two years ago? It does seem extremely bizarre. Yeah.

It does seem so bizarre. I think now you can, but... He, like, carried the torch. Really? Yeah. That's pretty sick. It's only hurting your performance, yet you're still able to compete. So it's maybe helping.

I'm pretty over seeing about the freaking cardboard beds. Like, okay, we get it. I think it's whack as shit that they made cardboard beds, but, like, I'm pretty over it. This is so funny, Mike. Like, it was last Olympics, and now this Olympics, too. Like, this is post. Apparently, they're making cardboard beds. Anti-sex beds. Yeah, they're anti-sex beds, but I think they're also just trying to make them cheaper, too. But I'm like, okay, I get it. I haven't seen any of this. Really? Yeah, yeah. There's just all these posts about, like, yep. No weed? The...

beds for the Olympic athletes are actually made out of cardboard. And then they'll even have a few posts where they're like, yep, check it out. It's actually cardboard. I'm like, okay. How the hell is that supposed to stop you from having sex? I don't know. And what are they trying to do? Why are they trying to stop people from having sex with who? Other Olympic athletes. Where are these beds? These would be super children. We should encourage them. You're right, dude.

you guys know the party game. Would you rather? Well, I recently saw a survey that asked men what they'd rather do instead of going to the doctor. And men said that they would rather clean their entire house, file their taxes, change a tire, which really isn't that hard, or even get pulled over. I get it. At one point in my life, I would have rather gotten called for jury duty than having to find the right doctor and making an appointment until I found ZocDoc.

Thanks for sponsoring the podcast, Shopify. Wait, what is this, like dorm style? Yeah. There's like male and female? Like we got unisex dorms? Yep. Well, maybe, bro, they will find a way. Just because the bed's cardboard, that doesn't mean shit. Yeah. You're trying to do something. You're going to do it. But I guess maybe, I don't know. I just, I saw all about it like literally four years ago at those Olympics and now this Olympics. I don't understand any of this.

Like, why would they be stopping? So there's a thing that they have tried to curb at the Olympics because there's so much sex, a lot of STDs get spread, and there's just some negative things that come out of this, right? I think they're trying to turn down the Olympic...

that have formed, right? Wow. So anyway... Shut the hell up. Is this actually a thing? For real, I have the screenshot of it. Is this actually a thing? Who brought the STDs? Who brought the STDs? That'd be the first question. The French. The French, yeah. We need to get Evan in the Olympic. Bro, I was going to say, Evan could be an Olympic athlete from the way it sounds. Well, dude, they... Smoking weed. Maybe we should look it up. Clearly got a couple vices. Yeah.

They have like a couple new sports like skateboarding. I was hyped on that. They added skateboarding to the Olympics. Like, that's a big deal. And this year it looks lit, but they added breakdancing this year. Breakdancing? I don't agree with that. Oh, what? Just because you can't dance? You're anti-breakdancing? Oh, man. That's what people...

That did seem hard. I mean, skateboarding makes sense. Breakdancing, is that really a sport? I guess like ping pong, everything's in these Olympics. No, I completely agree. Breakdancing being an Olympic sport does seem crazy, but then when you add in ping pong... I just wonder what the process is. It was such a fight to get action sports in the Olympics. It was this whole thing. Like...

What was the breakdancing committee bringing to the table? Like, get this approved. Bro, you show up with your boom box. Everyone's in matching outfits. I can see Evan being like this front runner. They're all in white. Throwing down some cardboard. One thing I can't do is dance. God. He's got his purple shoes on solo.

Let me see these beds. How bad are they? They can use them for break dancing. Yes. It makes sense. You tell me this, though. One of the most important things for an athlete is sleep. And they're making these athletes sleep on cardboard beds? That's what doesn't make sense to me. What's cardboard about them, I believe, is the frames.

And it's actually been revealed that the reason they did it is because it's sustainable. It's like cheaper than having a million metal mattresses that only get used every so often. You know, it's recyclable. If they work as good as those cardboard straws, I don't blame everyone for being upset. They want the real thing. All right, hold on. Let me see this. Dude, I'm trying to, yeah, I think we should like look into it. So what, they collapse if we get two people on her? Build a cardboard bunk bed.

What is the weight limit on a cardboard bed? There's got to be some big athletes. I'm just confused, yeah. Think about these bodybuilders or I don't know what events are in the Olympics. They got doubled up cardboard. I just don't understand how... You scroll over one and it says anti-sex beds at Tokyo Olympics aren't actually a thing. So that being said, it brings up a totally... Well, relevant. Can I see my phone? Yeah. You still just looking at the anti-sex beds? Leave it to Ben to go digging. I had...

seen this post in early June when it kind of became a bunch of hubbub. I scroll by it. It says, view all 703 comments and right below it, Micah Sandman. I'm so beyond tired of hearing about this.

Yes! This is in June! That's so good! And it's like that exact post right there. I am not joking. Like, I felt like it was on my feed like every day. Like every day that the Olympics was going on, which is like a month and before. I'm just like...

I can't believe, okay, I love commenting on Instagram, but I still like it. Yeah, I know, dude. You comment more than anyone I know. But keep in mind, I comment a lot, but I'm not firing a comment on every post. I might scroll for an hour and only comment once, but that means I still like it.

fired it out there isn't that funny so that's so great i literally had it in my notes like bringing up like micah commenting on instagram posts and then this one came up i do love it so funny it's kind of lame that instagram does that and it's obviously to kind of like curate your feed and you see oh my friend commented on this i like that but sometimes i like want to comment on something and i'm like just a bunch of people that like i know are gonna see this so then i kind of like

feel weird commenting on like a 8 million follower Instagram page about anti-sex beds. I must have been really fired up. Fired up, dude. Do you ever get like comments? I get a bunch of likes. Like, do you ever comment something that is like everyone agrees with? And keep in mind, I don't really do it.

So I can get a bunch of likes, but it is fun to see how many you can get. If you say something genuinely funny on the post, especially if it's early, the most I've ever got is like 5,000. That's pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty good, but you'll see some on a major viral post. Someone that's early says something. Everyone's thinking it has like 100,000 likes. Yeah, that is actually pretty cool. Mine on Evan's reel of him crashing, which I'm pretty proud of.

Does this hurt the ice? I got 18,000. Oh, that's good. Ben said dude had his helmet off before he was done sliding. I got 85. Holy. There was a lot of controversy on that one. That's a lot of freaking likes on a comment, dude. My 5K is just peanuts. Peanuts, man. I commented on this video the other day that I came across of this little kid getting yelled at by this like

grown-ass man for riding a dirt bike in the park next to this guy's house. That's a funny thing. So funny. But the guy kept on just, like, screaming in this kid's face, like, I'm going to call the cops on you, you little shit. You little shit. And this is when the kid kind of is, like, clapping back at him, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was great. He was chill. I don't know.

How out of touch with your emotions do you got to be to just scream at like a little kid that's clearly filming you? Like it couldn't be more obvious. Having a bad day and then.

lose your cool one of you guys said it just in passing about the boat ramp thing and it's and you guys said it's all about how you receive a situation if you give anger in a situation you're gonna look dumb and probably get anger back but if you give compassion or you like laugh along with something then it's fun so i mean i think that's a good way to look at life in general

I wonder, like, what the boat ramp watching woman that was, like, yelling at us. Like, she had to have obviously seen the video, but I wonder how she's doing. Yeah, hopefully good. That's so true, though, about the...

Like, you don't really know what kind of mood someone's in on the other end. Like, I got flicked off, like, two times, like, two weekends ago. Driving? Driving the boat. One time I was driving my car, or my truck, and this guy thought I was speeding. And, like, he flicked me off. No, I was going to the speed limit.

And then I threw it in reverse. I was like, what the fuck? Why did that guy flick me off? I was just literally genuinely confused because I was just driving down the road close to our house, not our road. So I fucking slammed on the brakes, threw that bitch in reverse. I'm sure the guy was like, oh, fuck. And then I just pulled up. I was like, what's up? Is everything okay? And then he's like going a little fast, aren't you? I go, no, I'm going 45. He goes, okay, well...

Have a nice day. I go, you too. Just drove off. But, and then I got flicked off driving the boat. That guy, you were there for that one. We were just chilling. I waved at him and they flicked me off. Yeah, we did the classic Minnesota wave where you're like, hey. And then they didn't wave back. And then so like someone else waved. And then they just, I see like this. And then I was like. Yeah, the guy just flicked us off. And then the wife stood up and went.

Double flick off. I went, all right, we obviously have did something here. To just go around flicking people off that you don't know, not that good of an idea. Not that good of an idea. You don't know who you're going to flick off. I could have been a loose cannon. Could have been me, dude. Yeah, that wouldn't be good. Throw that bitch in reverse and get your ass kicked. Dude, we should get a cannon on our boat. Like a pirate.

Oh, that wouldn't be bad. A loose cannon. If it wasn't you, Motorsboat, I would have probably flicked him off or gave him some more business, but, you know, questioned him. Cooler heads prevail. I was driving Greta's car the other day, and I swear, dude, every time I'm driving Greta's car, like, that's the only time that I get any kind of, like, road rage. Yeah.

Between me getting pissed and somebody else, like, pissing somebody else off. But I was on the interstate. I was in the left lane. And I was, like, clipping along. It's, like, a 65. I was doing, like, 73. And we're passing cars, right? Passing cars just in the left lane. And, like, pretty steady cars in the right lane. So I'm just staying in the left lane just passing everyone, right? Yeah. Well, I'm getting, like, kind of to the end of, like, however many cars are, like, you know, kind of bunched up.

Still clipping along, going faster than everyone. I got this truck like riding me. Right. But it wasn't like enough space in between cars for me to just like pull over. Yeah. I'm just like still just kind of just clipping along. Right. Like we're both going faster than the traffic was going. And this car is just riding me. And I'm like looking in the rear view mirror. I'm like, dude, I'm speeding past all these cars too right now. And this guy is just doing this.

Like pointing over, right? So I go like this. Oh, wow. You did have some road rage. Yeah, because the guy was just like riding my bumper going like this. And then finally I end up passing all the cars and suddenly...

And so I get in the right lane, and this guy comes up, and then he's double flicking me off. And while he does that, he comes up next to me. I go, grab the wheel. And I'm double flicking him off. No way. Yeah, I was like, fuck this guy. And you're in her little jeep. I was in her little jeep. Did you feel like a little bit of a bitch? Was he in a pickup? Yes. Yeah, that's the worst. Yeah, it was unfortunate. And then afterwards, we were just together. The whole way, yeah. Just bobbing and weaving traffic.

We're on the same team here, bro. This guy, man, he really saved three seconds getting to wherever he was going. So who won in that situation? If you both got fingers up.

I don't know. I'd say it was probably like a push. Yeah. You both got something to talk about later. Because the guy was clearly like got ahead of me and he was probably like, you know, probably felt like pretty good about it. And then we're just cruising together. And then it probably got uncomfortable for him too. Yeah. Have you guys ever like called the cops on someone driving crazy?

Uh, yeah, one time. That's called snitching. I know. I haven't done it. However, I was close to doing it. Just basically this dude, like, you know, when you're on a two-lane road in the city, you don't really go for the pass. You can. Whatever. So he goes for the pass, and you go past someone else. I'm like, dude, this guy's in a hurry, and we're going the normal speed. Whatever. I'm just like, okay, it's fine. And then he, like, goes for the pass when there's a middle lane, you know, the turning lane.

Uh-huh. And then I was like, what is he doing? And then he's legit driving on oncoming traffic, just hauling past people. And we finally, like, match. We end up at a red light with him. And he's just got to be on crack. Oh, just like. And I was like, damn. When he, like, passes three cars in the oncoming lane, I'm like, should I call the cops? Yeah, you pull up and it's like someone. At that point, he was, like, kind of gone. But I just, I've never done it. But.

There's some levels, like, if you want to drive 100, especially if you're in, like, a fast car or a sports car, and you want to drive over 100, whatever. Like, I'm not going to call you in, but, like, if you're going to, like, look like you're driving off... Yeah, driving like an asshole just all over the place. Mike, that kind of happened to me one time where I was driving my Subaru WRX, and...

This car, like, comes up behind me, like, was clearly ripping, right? But I'm clipping along again, still in the left lane, right? And then finally, past the cars, I go into the right lane. Left lane is open. This car stays behind me. Oh, that's the worst. And I'm like, dude, what is going on right now? So then I go into the left lane, and this car follows me. It kept following me, and I was like, there's something up right now. So I start speeding, right? I'm, like, clipping along. And next thing I know, I'm going...

Like, 100 days. Trying to lose this guy. This doesn't sound like a true story. No, dead last. You were driving fast? This guy was, like, tailing me. And I was, like, starting to sweat. I was, like. Oh, no. So many scenarios going through my head. It would have been funny if he was a cop. Undercover cop. And finally, I'm, like, zigging, zagging, trying to lose this guy just, like, out of traffic, right?

Guy was sticking with me for some reason. And then he finally blows past me. I pull off onto the gas station to fill up. And this guy pulls in. And then we're both just sitting there. That's awkward. But he was like a tweaker too. Oh, weird. I was like kind of hiding behind the gas pump. Trying to get a look at him. Weird. That...

The only time I've ever called someone or like a driver in is I was driving to Ottoman. So like we have a two lane road outside of here. And the guy was driving like 45 and touching like the white line on either side of the road, dipping a tire in the dirt. And I'm like, is this guy drunk? You know, it's like the middle of the day. And I'm like, this is like severely dangerous. And then, so I was like, I have to. And then I came up on him and it was this really old guy who,

And then the cop came and like stopped him and he, but he was pulling over like into a parking lot. So I don't know if old guy might've been having like a medical emergency or something like that, but like it was not okay. Level of swerving. There's always those moments when you like, you pull up, usually they're just driving slow, maybe a little bit, but really slow. And you pull up and you see their age. Yeah. And then you go, damn it. Checks out. What do we got there, buddy?

the video you were talking about oh yeah let's watch this we gotta do it old fashioned have you seen this we don't have ken yeah just hold yeah old fashion hold it up for us we've got dalton on the floor here holding the computer someone give this kid a trophy one more time and i'm calling the police on you do you understand me this is where kids play this is not a track for motorcycles kids are at school they're not i just picked mine up and this is not a place where you ride goddamn motorcycles it's a park you don't do it again i'm calling the cops you understand

Dude, why is this mic as a kid? I didn't have balls that big. Dude.

Yeah, that's pretty savage. What is he on a two stroke? Thanks for like 50,000 views on TikTok. Oh, his voice is kind of like, he sounds like he would be like, I ride a TTR 90. I know. So why are you riding your motorcycle on the grass? Because it's fun. Yeah? Well, you're not supposed to. Okay. What are you getting on? I'm calling the cops.

I thought you were calling the cops already. No, I love that. I mean, like I understand maybe the upsetness of, you know, maybe he's got little kids playing in the park.

But you come up with an attitude like that, and then you got a little twerpy 13-year-old on the other side of the helmet. How about I beat your ass? And he had so many, well, maybe we won't call them good, but like so many comebacks that were valid. And then I thought you were already calling the cops. That's such a good thing to say when they're like, I'm calling the cops. Yeah.

Do it again. I'm going to call the cops. I thought you said you were already calling them. Is there another one? The same kid? Okay, so I think I've seen this. If there's more than one, they're probably set up. You tell the cops when they get here. Okay. Because you're traveling through the grasses? I wasn't in the grass. You worked here? I was on the path. I watched you jump right there. My name is Gary. You came down the path right there. You came down the path right there. My name is Gary. Good for you. What's your name?

Oh my gosh dude. It reminds me of Dalton. Yeah, geez dude.

He kind of reminds me of Aiden if he got a little bit of an attitude on him. Dude, this kid is actually savage. Yeah, it was funny when he revved his bike like that. Summer is hard on our skin. We're outside and in the sun, getting dehydrated and going to bed late without

Ryan Reynolds here for, I guess, my 100th Mint commercial. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, honestly, when I started this, I thought I'd only have to do like four of these. I mean, it's unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month. How are there still people paying two or three times that much? I'm sorry, I shouldn't be victim blaming here. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash save whenever you're ready. For

$45 upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month. New customers on first three-month plan only. Taxes and fees extra. Speeds lower above 40 gigabytes. See details. Did it say what, like, what state he is or what city where he's from? There really is a genre for just being a GoPro rider and you're ripping around your area and then some pissed off person comes up to you. I mean, I've seen a lot of videos pop like that.

Right, and that's why the downside is that, you know, we've seen a lot that were fabricated that get like 15 million views. And it's like, ugh. But the real stuff is very entertaining. Yeah. Yeah, I was going to talk to my mom and just be like, hey, mom, we're getting to this age where like...

you know, if a YouTuber presses you and tries to get a reaction, like we need to do some media training. Yeah. It's just like everyone out there needs to tell their mom or dad, you know, just like, Hey, to protect you from becoming a meme, you know, you see a camera. Yeah. If you see a camera,

Zip it. Don't give them anything. Even in this area, I'm like, dude, no one's going to do that around here. But there's a couple. Yeah, you're not crazy for giving that training. I think you just know if your parents are that type, though, already. I don't think I need to say anything to mine. Probably don't need to say anything to Ryan's, yours, really any of ours. Yeah, but it doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt. You can never be too careful. Tell your parents about, you know.

and the gift card scams. It's like modern day scams. Nigerian prince. Yeah. Don't help him. He's fine. Some that are so obvious, dude, I just like fell for one the other, like not the other day, a couple months ago. Uh, you know, like it's a meta email and it's like, we need your, uh, you know, it was very simple, but it was like, your password is compromised for your Instagram. Oh, no, that my Instagram is very near and dear to me. And I like, Oh,

oh yeah, I got to log in and change my password. And then I realized like, I'm not like logging into Instagram and then fuck, get out of there. Change my password. But I was just like, oh dude, I almost just got scammed. I almost just got RC card. You almost got, yeah. Nigerian Prince. Yeah.

Yeah. Those ones are so obvious, but what's the Nigerian Prince? You just got to like transfer some money and then you're going to get a ton back. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. It's like when you think about it, it makes no sense, but it's like, hi, my name is insert Nigerian Prince name here. I have $10 billion. If you just send me a few thousand, I'll give you a cut of my 10 billion, you know, really dumb.

But people fall for it. I feel like that was like one of the OG scams I remember hearing about for like 20 years. Like the sound of the phone. Prince scam. Like getting a call. Blessed birthday greetings from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. Please kindly provide me with your personal bank account details so I can transfer you the sum of $40 million as our birthday gets to you. Yours truly, Prince Alusi Elasius.

People are doing it. I guess so. $40 million for a birthday gift? That's pretty lit. Just some random guy who got your number. $43 million in cash found empty in a Nigerian apartment. Poor guy probably spent the past decade trying to reach out, but no one ever replied to his email. I feel like if I got... Smoke signals? If I got a letter... Dalton just said they started it back in 1910, which without any context, I don't know how that works.

Without internet, I don't know how it works. You can imagine getting like a, what's the one where it's like beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Yeah, Morse code. A Morse code. Back then it was called the Spanish Prisoner Swindle. Where are you finding this, Dalton? Wikipedia, dude. Oh, yeah, they don't lie. You guys hear that the Kia boys have done such damage to the Kia and Hyundai community that State Farm will not insure. Wow.

If you're a previous customer, they'll let you insure your Kia or your Hyundai. Buy a new Kia. Yes. And you want to insure it through State Farm. They will not take a new client. Holy smokes. That's insane. That's not good for Kia and Hyundai. Yeah. I was under the impression that Kia figured that out. Yeah.

I don't know, maybe in some of the new cars, but they might have all the old ones. Yeah, true. Oh, yeah, obviously. Yeah, you buy a used 2015 or whatever. I thought I heard a thing, too, like once that recall went out, your insurance wouldn't cover you unless you got the... You did that? Yeah, whatever. So that's funny because on my TRX, I went through my whole insurance thing, trying to get my insurance lower, and there's an option in the thing that says, do you have an anti-theft device installed? And I clicked it.

on my trx and it went down like 85 a month like quite a bit right you click it on my hummer nothing so like it's factored in for the rams because trx yeah mopar hellcat stuff's always getting stolen that's crazy geez that cannot be good for the the kia brand no actually not no especially in the states what would you do can you imagine if you're just like an unsuspecting person

Like, you know, your aunt, whatever. She goes out and just buys a Kia and is like, wait, what do you mean? I haven't had a speeding ticket in years. And they're like, no, we can't cover you. Alex has got a Kia. She does. Should we try to Kia boys it? Wait, we should. I could see your late night crew doing something like that. I was like, I'm a part of this. Cody, Mike. We'll steal it. You guys show up in ski masks to Mike's own house. Yeah.

Cleared out the whole fridge of all the beer. It smells like smoke in the house now, and the Kia's gone. We just drove the Kia out.

They also left the doors open. And there appears to be one of Cody's shoes on the floor. I don't know. Ryan, you've kind of been toasting Cody in the group chats lately. What's up with that? I think Ryan and Cody have been bonding. Yeah, we're bonding over our hatred for each other. Yeah. Frigging just last week, it's 85 degrees here, and he sends me a picture of an ice cold Mountain Dew. It's like the can is just sweating cold. And he goes, bet you had one of these, but you don't.

And then ever since then, our race tip has really changed. Is that when you followed up with like the sign of the, the peggory? Yeah. The peggory. And you said, Cody, you should get a job here. Yeah. I don't know. He's a good kid. He loses his stuff everywhere though. His keys are on the counter here. Since he was a kid. Yeah. One shoe, one shoe all the time. One time, Cody didn't want to go into the party and say goodbye to everyone, but his shoes were in there. Fair enough. Honestly. So he left his shoes and then he walked home barefoot. But the,

The only issue was like... Didn't make her. Yeah, he was like 18 miles away from home. No shoes. So he made it five miles. He made it five miles, which is actually insane.

And then he fell asleep in a skid steer bucket. You know, just the nice warm comfort of a metal object in winter. Just hanging Cody's dirty laundry up on the line. Sorry, Cody. Yeah, sorry, Cody. That's not that bad. No, it's not that bad. Also, it's a good story. Because every time we go past that gas station, he was riding with me, and he's just like, dude, I'll never think about that place the same. Like skid steer bucket. I slept in there.

He's a good kid. All right, let's talk about it for approximately two minutes. The new ZR1's insane. Yo! Corvette. I haven't looked at it yet. Is it all-wheel drive? Dude, no. Really? No, I haven't looked at it. Man, you hate Corvettes. I don't hate them.

I think they're lame. I was interested. I put it in the watch later on YouTube. I just haven't had time. I wouldn't say I'm Nike. A Corvette enthusiast. I respect them. Really? So the new ZR1 has, it's like the model up from Ryan's Z06. Same motor, flat plane, whatever, high revving, but twin turbo. Twin turbo, and it's got 1,064 horsepower. 1,000 horsepower. Ryan's has 670. Yeah.

How is that going to work with rear wheel drive? That's what I was wondering. I got to assume.

Just a lot of wheel spin. Probably a computer. Yeah. They probably have it so dialed, but there's just no way. How do you put that much power to the ground in a normal car? It's very planted, and they come with the big wing. They're light, dude. Pretty much the same ground effects yours has, but slightly more intense. I like the hood. That was sick. They did the Ferrari hood with the dip down through the middle. It has more vents in the back, more vents in the sides. I feel like you give it any kind of throttle and all you're going to do is... Who's that guy? What the hell?

But I feel like you give it any kind of throttle and all you're going to see is the flashing light of traction control. Yeah. I mean, it all makes sense. I think it's limited in like the first years they have it all programmed. So like the turbo, the waste gate opens more in the lower gears. Cause they know you can't put that type of power. Time's up. Really? Yeah.

Yeah, that's how we get. Fair enough, honestly. When's it come out? I honestly don't know, but I've also, like, it's so funny because it just came out, like, yesterday as far as revealed, and there's already people that have, like, media units reviewing them. I'm like, dude, it'd be cool to be a part of that. Why not just do an all-wheel drive?

That'd be insane. I'm assuming the next gen. There'd be nothing they could say about that. I think the Zora, so like the Zora, I don't know if they're actually going to make it, but that was supposed to be like the step up from the ZR1. And that one was supposed to be like hybrid front wheel drive. Because they've got the technology with the E-Ray. So they'll probably do something else. That or maybe they'll do an E-Ray Z06. Oh, is the E-Ray all wheel drive? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, because it's got an electric front motor, and then it's just gas in the back. You're standard. I can see you getting one of those, Ken. Ken's got gas in the back. Ken wouldn't fit in a Corvette.

He literally doesn't. We were going to drive it one day. The only Corvette I fit in is the convertible because the roof can go down. Ken looks over the top of the windshield. Yeah, with like the little goggles. He has little goggles on. Fucking leather hat. He looks like he's like flying in a World War II plane. Like the leather straps are flying. So what, they've got four variants of Corvettes now?

Four, yes. You have the Stinger, the E-Ray, the Z06, and the ZR1. Yep. And then if they have the Zora, how many ways can they slice and dice that car? I don't know. Probably enough to maybe make one of them rare. But I would assume they'd just put either the standard Z06 or the ZR1 engine and then have the E-Ray front. How much power does the E-Ray give? Like 200? A couple hundred? So, I mean, shit. You'd have a 1,200 horsepower car in that case. Yeah. They should do a V6 Corvette. Yeah.

Yeah.

You can't even say that. Wouldn't that be funny though? Yes, it would be. Fucking V6. Jake Sherbrooke would buy one. V6 Corvette. They make like the equivalent to like the V6 Camaro. Like you can buy like a track pack Camaro. Oh yeah, dude. Because it would be cheaper. Depending on the price. They'd buy the, it'd be a convertible. They'd be like, I don't really care. I just like the look of it. And driving around. What if they did the V6 with like the electric motor on there? You could make it sound decent. Couple turbos.

There you go. Yeah, no, yeah, got to be twin turbo. I think just straight naturally aspirated V6. Yeah, the V6 is cool with two turbos and a 300-horse electric motor. Yeah, yeah. The boys were talking last night. Oh, no, I leave for one day. Evan, more specifically. No, I don't think you should turn this on to me specifically, Ben. You know, I just mentioned... Just give him the gift. I just felt, you know, a little bit attacked. Oh? So I just asked the guys how they felt, and I said, hey...

Does anybody else feel like kind of singled out by Ryan's text in the group chat lately about leaving the dishes in the sink? And everyone kind of agreed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I kind of felt like attacked on that one too. And then Evan had a pretty good point. Well, there's just something I want you to explain. Is this egg salad? I believe it's the potato salad you brought on the 4th of July. It's been in the fridge ever since. Well, at least it wasn't in the sink. I got to...

You're so concerned about a couple dishes in the sink, but we have food growing in the refrigerator. This looks like it's just about ready for you to eat. No. Evan goes, yeah, of course we can't put our dishes next to the sink. Where's Ryan's blender bottle going to go? I do feel a little bad about I'm the only guy who uses the blender. So anyway, we just wanted...

Maybe to... You do explain that? Is that egg salad or potato salad? I think it's potato. Thank goodness it is an egg. That'd be bad. It would be bad. If it was egg salad, it would have been gone. Dishes have... They've been way better with the help of our new chef, Jen. You know, she does a lot of them too, but like whenever she brings her dishes...

it's just cut and dry. Like if you, if you eat your leftovers or whatever from the fridge, you got to clean it, but they've been good. But also having a chef has just been 10 out of 10. Best thing ever. Like so awesome. And like, it's sick because before this, I was like eating hella fries and, and hot dogs, hot dogs, hot dogs, a lot of hot dogs. She's doing those gourmet dogs now for you. I mean, no, she's not, but, uh, uh,

Are you still putting out, like, sneaking in eight hot dogs a day? Yes. A lot of fries, a lot of pizza, and, like, my metabolism's pretty good. I get some flack lately for the barrel, but... But, no, for real, like, honestly, other than, like, yeah, I went to the doctor and got, like, a checkup, and then she's like, you're so less... She's grabbing your belly and going kind of tubby, huh? You better be careful when handling any seats. Yeah. She's like, uh...

She's like, your cholesterol is actually like pretty high. And I was like, oh damn. Like, it's good to know. I'm not that old. So I should probably eat some Cheerios, you know, shit like that. And so I'm really excited about, isn't that lower cholesterol Cheerios? I think it's a conspiracy. It says it on the box, but I'm not sure. But, uh,

I've just been really enjoying it lately. No process, you know, like home-cooked meals every single day. And it's, I just, thanks, boys. Yeah, it was a great play. It was a great play. It was. I'm glad we all agreed on it. Well, we've been eating at, like, the same three restaurants for the last, I don't know. Six years. Six, seven years. And it's just, yeah, like, they're all super unhealthy. They're just bars, basically. And you can get healthy stuff there, but you... Still, I don't think the salmon salad...

is any more healthy than a cheeseburger love the salmon salad it is very good but you know it just like it's nice to have a good meal to look forward to i think we're all like we have it to look forward to i think we all feel better after we eat a nice square meal one to say this like i don't love a schedule but i do love that it's like you know 12 30 every day like i i enjoy that we know that it's 12 30 every day we go in there we eat and then we're like productive up until then and productive after yeah i think the biggest thing it's for the longest time

You either didn't eat lunch, and then you just had to grind it through the day, and then you're just not as productive, or you're not in a good mood. And you still might not get the best supper ever if we go out. Yep. Or you're trying to get food, and then we're trying to do something else, and it's like, well, fuck, CJ's getting food down at the pit right now, so you've got to wait 45 minutes until everyone's back. And right now, it just kind of keeps everyone on the same schedule. 100%. You didn't really...

Didn't really think about how nice it would be until we kind of got into it. Dude, the restaurants are probably wondering where we went. Like, we went there every day. They're hurting. They're like, what the fuck? Like, these guys just stopped. Like, are they going somewhere else now? Yeah. It is funny. You'll roll in, and then they're just like, oh, it's been a while. And then I'm like, oh, yeah, it kind of has. Like two weeks. Yeah, I mean, normally at least one of us is in every single one of the restaurants around here for lunch. Yeah.

yeah my dad's been doing that since as long as i can remember he says since he could afford to do it he's just been eating lunch out or doesn't eat lunch every day well randy always said he's when clients ask how can i save money building a house he says don't put a kitchen in and he is serious he lives by it too yeah because he's like i never use my kitchen i'm like yeah randy but you're kind of weird like that like yeah most people use the kitchens yeah and it is that is weird to say but like

That's a good point. If you didn't have a kitchen, it'd be awkward. Where would you hang? Wouldn't it be so... Yeah, when it's 3 in the morning and you get home, you need to drink 9 more beers. Everyone kind of sits around the kitchen when you have company over for the most part. Maybe I could do that. But you could make a better chill room. I put a pizzazz in my bedroom. True.

No, that's actually crazy, though, to not actually do that. Like, think of the resale value. Dude, beautiful house came up on Lake Floyd or whatever, but it doesn't have a kitchen. I thought you were going to say, but it's got a pizza oven in the bedroom. It's like one of those wood fire kitchen. It's got burn marks all over the carpet.

Mike falls asleep with a full-on pizza in the oven, but it's like a wood fire oven. Dude, I think that's why I love the pizzazz because it dings and then the power cuts and you don't burn it. You just wake up to a cold pizza rotating. No.

I think what you need is a hot dog roller, Mike, because it just keeps them at the perfect temp. You don't over burn them. You can leave it running 24-7. You always are there. Just grab one, pop it in. That would be really good. I feel like, I mean, it'd be better for a person who actually eats hot dogs. What do you mean? Well, nobody eats more hot dogs than you, Mike. Dude, I just like, I kind of pulled a Ken there. I just didn't know what to say and I went, oh, roller dogs from the gas station.

Actually, that's what Gerald Smelter says. He said, you want to save money? You want to make some real money, put some money away in the account? Eat at the gas station. Eat hot dogs down at the gas station. Well, not our gas station. Probably would be a lot cheaper. Not our gas station. You ain't saving money. It's like Chick-fil-A prices down there for the chicken sammies. When they have it. When they have it. I just want to hear a little bit about Evan, honestly.

You know, you've been a little quiet. That's fine. I just want to hear about your experience on the Stark. Oh, I was actually just going to say that. If you want to know about me, I'll let you know how hyped I am on the Starks. Bikes are so sick. Absolutely love it. Nothing bad to say about it. Is Cheetos paying you to say that? Oh, yeah, man. Hey, congrats on the new sponsorship deal. Yeah, dude, I'm proud of you, buddy. Yeah, that's lit. Yeah, just...

I'm really hoping for a pallet of Cheetos. The raft is big. It's a little much to ask for. That's the first step, but that's when I'll really feel like I made it to the top. I'd maybe start with a bag. Just one bag. I think, Evan, I think they want to see how this first year goes and then reevaluate. And maybe they'll do some extra bags of Cheetos. Yeah, they're like, we'll plan a meeting for July 2025. And then...

You have the meeting and you're like, I got a bag. It would be sick to upgrade to Flamin' Hot. Yeah, I doubt they have the budget, but... I saw they actually sent you one of those snack-sized bags of Cheetos. Oh, he did get brought up? I intercepted it because I was hungry. Ken ate it. Ken ate it. You got to wait until next year. I intercepted it.

I'm like, I could not be more jealous. Like, I know you love Cheetos and I just love Cheetos. Mike, your chip sponsorship is coming. Just keep practicing. Keep training. That's what you keep telling me. Listen, man. Dreams don't work unless you do. No. I've been trying. Dreams don't work unless you do. I've been trying. I got to post more, man. No, what you got to do is ride more.

You got to ride more. Ride and post. Yeah, both of those. I don't know if it's posting. Both of those. That's what I meant. Post more riding clips. No, no. I wouldn't worry about posting it. Yeah, don't get the phone out. I think put the work in. Yeah, put the work in. And then once you're, you know, really ripping, get the phone out. Well, I mean...

And put the work in with the product, too. I mean, I've been eating a lot of Cheetos, too. He's been talking about it for years, too. He's been literally talking about Cheetos for years. Always blabbing. He'll actually just throw it into a conversation where he'll just say, Cheeto. Yeah, like that's Cheeto and shit, even when it has nothing to do with Cheetos. Can you bring that over here? Actually, how cringe would that be? Dude, I start, I'm like, yo, that's Dorito.

Maybe that's what you got to do. Everyone's like, dude, stop trying to make Dorito work. It's not going to work. Whenever wins like a big race or something like that, you know how most like monster athletes are like up there, like holding their monster. We'll be talking Evans Evans on the podcast, like holding his Cheetos bag. Yeah.

If you don't like Cheetos, fuck you. There's so many different variants of Cheetos. Have you guys ever watched Good Mythical Morning? Just this huge YouTube channel, and they review a lot of foods. That guy with the crazy hair? Yeah, and they did a Cheeto episode, and they tried almost all the Cheetos. There's even more, but it was something like 60 different variations of Cheetos. That's crazy.

And it's just funny because I've never even seen this one that you're eating right now. And there's so many different variations. And then they rated them and regular Cheetos and hot Cheetos were the winners. Really? It just goes to show those are the classics. We need to get our hands on all 60 flavors. I agree. That probably is including like five or ten from Japan and crazy stuff. Jump through some hoops to get those. Ken, you want to get on that for me? Illegally imported Cheetos? What's the glasses? Dude, Ken is locked up.

in right now. They do have a ton of different ones. Yes, they do. They actually have so many different Cheetos. Ken, are those your reading glasses? No, they were sitting on the desk. Have you guys ever had the Buffalo Cheetos? They're actually so good. Like they're from New York? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like Buffalo flavored Cheetos. Those actually got third and I would agree. Those are third. They have Cheetos pretzels now too. Oh, really? Yeah.

Run it. Unbelievable. Gosh, Cheetos are legit, man. I'm so jealous. So I'm surprised that you'd be pursuing like a chip route, Mike. Like, I feel like I don't really see you eat chips that often. But like hot dogs. Fun dog. Oscar Mayer. This is taking so long. Mike, you should go after Oscar Mayer. I don't know who...

It was actually one of Adam Peterson's buddies who put me in touch with him. With who? With his uncle. Shout out, Dylan. He put me in touch with his uncle who works at Johnsonville. But they're more of a brat company. Wouldn't you want to be more like an Oscar Mayer? You're going to cheat on Oscar Mayer like that? Yeah, or like Johnson's. If it's not pre-cooked, Mike doesn't want it. I literally don't even... I don't know the last time I've eaten an Oscar Mayer wiener.

I think I just saw actually at the 4th of July. That picture. Yeah. I think you were eating some then. You were actually cooking, which was nice of you to cook for the family. Well, when there's hot dogs getting grilled, he wants to be the guy. Those were Oscar Myers? Dang. How many of them did you eat off the grill, Mike? Two of them.

You have hot dogs on the way. Mike comes in with one dog. Oh, are the other ones still on the grill? Oh, nope, nope. This is all that's left. Eating it. Oh, are we dishing up at the grill? No, I ate already. We didn't even have hot dogs at the 4th of July. Mac and cheese, too. Mike saves the other hot dog.

Okay, that's actually good. That's actually the only time I actually eat hot dogs. I prefer them in beans over mac and cheese. Beans! Meaners and some good baked beans. Either or, yeah. Delicacy. The only time I actually eat hot dogs is at baseball games. And if you guys know how many baseball games I got to. That's cat. You get a hot dog at the race. Great hot dogs.

You're backtracking here, Mike. A little bit, but like also. I never eat hot dogs except for that one time in fairly recent history. And that other time. Yeah, but you guys, like, I mean, Ben literally thinks I eat eight a day. Well, you do. Yeah, no. No, Ben thinks I eat eight hot dogs a day. Well, I'm just averaging. There's like two days this week. I know that you eat more some days. There's like two days this week that he didn't even see me eat anything.

Oh, you're eating them in secret now? Yes. Like, how many hot dogs? You're like a housewife smoking cigarettes in the bathroom. He runs up to his garage at home, just shoves down a couple dogs before bed. My mind was running. I couldn't fall asleep. I go clear my head. I'm a hot dogaholic. Just a phone light out in the garage. He opens the snap on his dog's top. Honey, what are you doing? Dude, did you guys? Did dogs smoke in the house?

You said it wasn't a problem. You said it wasn't a problem. It's not. I'm just out here because I need fresh air. Can you go pick my PlayStation up from the pawn shop? What? Mike pawns his PlayStation to buy hot dogs. I swear it's not a problem. Do you eat them without the bun mostly, Mike, so you can eat more of them? Mostly. They go into your mouth better with no bun, right? Yeah, they do.

I'd prefer a bun, ketchup, mustard. Raw dogging. That would be without a bun. How do you really truly view Joey Chestnut? Is he like a... Oh, he's a hero. Idol hero. Yeah, he's an American hero. Is it true that you have a poster of him in your bedroom? Yes, it's true. The hard-hitting questions Mike is answering. I just love being on both sides of the spectrum because, like, dude, hot dogs...

Oh, I'm definitely on it. I'm definitely on it. Dude, like hot dogs will literally shave fucking years off your life. But you don't care. You're the one with high cholesterol. But those years are so much better. It's worth it. Yeah, exactly. Like I'm looking at like 71. As he shoves out another dog. Don't tell me how to live my life. Something's got to kill me. Might as well be these. Yeah, dude. Looks like we're down to 70. Yeah.

A few more. We'll see you at 69. Oh, man. I'll probably stop there, but who knows? All right. We're fastly approaching our hot dog limit of the day, or of the podcast. But I did see this. There's no limit. Sorry. But I did see this SNL bit that did make me think of you. Wait, you guys. You know it's a fun game. We show each other our Instagram explore pages. Oh, I'm too scared. I'm scared.

It's all cookie recipes Okay, and mine is literally just puppies not one Okay, your turn boys who's next no what I'm not playing your little game It will ruin the night Show us your phone

I think I left it in the car. What is with you guys? If it's just a bunch of hot girls in bikinis, we can handle that. Let's just drop it, right? Are you on my phone? Uh-oh. Is it a bunch of butts? Yeah. No. All hot dogs, brother. Mike, let's see it. Dude, mine's not going to look like that. They're broads. No.

Oh, shut up dude. Pretty average, I guess. No WattDogs here. Do a little quick scroll, a little flick. Evan, let me see your Explorer page. Yeah, I don't know about that. Somehow Evan's Explorer page is just... Electric dirt bikes.

Dude, I still stand behind the electric dirt bikes. You cannot hate on those things. Yeah, no, I guess circling way back, dude, so fun. Riding them is like cutting hot butter with a hot knife. It's the smoothest thing ever. Everything's hot. Yeah, everything's hot. Dude, I think also the bike is like so dialed otherwise. It's not just like, oh, it's an electric bike, but maybe...

maybe something else isn't good. It just works great, the brakes. This is a brand new bike, so it's sick. Suspension's good. Yeah, Ken did. Very briefly. He turned it down to 10 horse. It's a...

Dirt bike. What'd you really think? Yeah, what'd you really think? It was nice. It seemed like it would go pretty well. Do you think it would beat the Cybertruck up to like 70? Yeah, for sure. That thing weighs like a fraction of what that thing is. It also has one tire that almost explodes off the rim when you twist it off. No, dude, I bet...

I bet. I'd love to get a look at it. Yeah, like you know how RC cars, when they expand, I bet the tire does that a little bit in 80-horse mode. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Didn't we see like well over 100 on the Speedo when we used that? Dude, we should 240 it, 240 frames a second. Oh, I thought you meant miles an hour. All right, to leave you guys with something, Evan, this week when we were talking about riding these higher horsepower bikes, he's like, all you got to do is not panic, not panic. And I'm like, yeah, but how do you not panic?

when you're in a situation when you end up panicking, you know? And I saw this video and I went, this is literally the perfect example of not panicking.

Like, the more you watch it, that is, like, the craziest. Imagine an accident happening right in front of you on a motorbike. He's going fast. I would panic. So many people in the comments were like, dude, do you not know how to use your brakes? That's literally what every comment was. No, this guy's got a brain. Like, he used his brakes right away, realized that he was not going to stop, and then powered out of it to avoid dying, essentially, running in the back of the car. Yeah.

Dude, there's been just all kinds of stuff. People are like having like crazy street bikes and they only run front brakes. And people are like, you're insane. You don't know anything about anything. Really? That actually does sound insane. I don't know. Why would you only run front brakes? Enlighten me on that. Also, yeah, like I'm not saying like I'm on the side of like only running front brakes, but like it is 70% of your stopping power on a street bike.

I don't know. I genuinely don't know. Are you sure you did it? This isn't like a meme or something that you took it serious? Because that's insane. I've seen it from a couple different people. That literally remove the rear brakes from a rocket. Yeah, because they just do straight line shit.

Interesting. They just do, like, drags. It just still doesn't make sense to me. I'm like, don't you want all the stopping power you can get? Maybe on a drag racing bike, I guess you want all this stuff off it. Anything you ride on the street seems insane to me. Yeah, and even though you got dual calipers, like, still seems insane. Do, uh, on the, like, the really fast drag bikes, do they use parachutes to slow you down? I think the biggest ones do.

On like a drag strip, yeah. That'd be crazy. Dude, that's actually really funny. You guys ever see that? Like we follow, like I follow streetcarmarket on Instagram. Like a lot of sick cars they sell. A lot of different cars. And then whenever I see a car with a parachute, I'm just like, that's not for me. Yeah. You know, whenever it's got a parachute, you're like...

Dude, Mike, it's just a race car at that point. You're not driving that thing on the street. You should put a parachute on your Subaru. Yeah, why not? That'd be funny. I mean, that would be actually funny. Where is your Subaru at, Mike? How is it coming? Slowly. Slowly. How much is the bill going to be for that?

Dude, way too much. I mean, if our Hoonicorn was 17... No, actually... They got that done in under a month. Actually, like, gonna be, like, so much. You're gonna be, like, 60 grand into fixing this fucker. Not actually, but, yeah, like, 25, probably. And keep in mind, like... You dump 50 into it? Yeah. Oh, okay.

I think we talked about. No, not that much. No, that would be that 50 I had before was like I've already paid them a lot. And I mean, I'm just like being realistic, like not exaggerating at all. Like that's for like, again, I threw so many parts at them. Like that wasn't just to fix it. It was not just to fix it. But like also the fact that it's getting repainted, that kind of. Wait, they're repainting the whole thing? Yeah. What color? What color should I do it? Oh, they haven't done it?

Well, no, they haven't. It's got to be yellow, though, right? That's the whole thing about that color. Why are they repainting the whole thing? Just because there's just enough. All four fenders got redone. You messed up all four fenders? No. Messed up two of them, and they're blending the fenders into the body. Oh, sick. Yeah, molding them. It'll look like factory. No more rivets or whatever. That's sick. Oh, my God. It's going to be sick. You're really doing it, huh? Yeah, like making custom...

I don't know, like fender flares for it that are molded into the things. And it's kind of like, this is exactly what I thought was going to happen when I brought my Subaru to a restoration, restomod shop. They were like, no, we're turning this thing into a car show worthy. So do you think this is a, this is a forever car now? Like you're not selling it? Now, yes. Before, before I got into this, honestly, I was like, oh, it'd be sick to keep it forever. But,

But like now I have to. Yeah. I actually have to. You can be like close to a hundred grand. No. God, no. Where did you get that? Between the car and everything you've done to it. I thought it was like close to 60. Yeah, it was 60. It's closer to a hundred than farther away. Still like so much though.

Like, think of the, you know. And a 2002 Subaru WRX. Think of the car I could get. Dude, you would have straight up won SEMA in 2003 with this thing. That's an interesting thing. I'd still love to take it there. Like, you know, do a little more to it. Like, I don't know. Do...

Honestly, yeah. Someone would be like, wow, look at this 22-year-old car. The projector bulbs in my headlights say life wide open. Holy shit, that's insane. My exhaust has etched life wide open on it. My taillights have the giant LED boards, whatever.

That's sick. To your point, Evan, yes. Got to keep doing it yellow. So I'm doing it like a cooler yellow than it was before. I just need to paint things. It's going to be cool. We'll debut it. You're not putting a carbon fiber rock slider on it, are you? Rock slider. Or engine pan. Or the skid plate. Skid plate. Skid plate. Skid plate.

I don't think so. Belly bouncer? I don't think I need that. I hope I don't. I can't tell if this is referring to the crash or the one on your dirt bike. Because I did hear a lot of flack about that. No, I did too. And I expect... Explain what it was about. I got a skid plate for my bike and I knew that I wanted to get one. And then I was like, I'll get a carbon fiber one and make it bougie or whatever. Because clearly...

Evan, clearly I don't actually need it for going over rocks and stumps. And then they had white carbon fiber. I'm like, oh, that's lit. And then I got it, and then it was like white and black checkered carbon fiber kind of looking. And I'm like, oh, this isn't nearly as cool as I thought it would be. Is it real carbon fiber? Real carbon fiber. That makes it cooler. I thought it was fake. It was plastic with like a carbon fiber overlay because the white carbon fiber looks so weird. Because everybody knows fake carbon fiber.

Cheeto. Yeah, that's Cheeto. Or Dorito. Cheeto's cool now. Yeah, no, I do regret spending $220 on it. Money Mike. Money Mike, dude. Mike, you're going to have to get a side hustle for all these projects that you guys are doing. Dude, I'm down. I might start working at Zoomies. Yeah. It's true. Good point. Meet us there last Sunday. Not a bad idea. Yeah. Yeah, no, I mean, side hustle. Ben said I needed one. Yeah, you do.

Start working on the weekends. Outside of you're already working on the weekends. It's just so much fun. I can't stop spending money. Put purple wheels on my bike today. No, no, no. You got the tire on one. What are you going on? What kind of wheels you get? Purple. Purple Excels. What does something like that cost? $1,500. You got to do what you got to do. That's right. Has that dirt bike seen dirt yet? No.

I've not ever taken that thing on dirt. Are you serious? It hasn't seen dirt? No, it hasn't seen dirt, but I'm definitely going to take it on dirt. How the fuck have you not had it on dirt? I think I rode it more debatably down and back on the highway and then through the mall. We have so many dirt bikes that's like, that's how. Why ride the new one? Yeah. I'm on the same account that you are for Amazon Prime. I'm on the same account you are, dude. I've seen some shit you bought. Sorry. You got to archive those. The sauna bucket? Yeah.

I feel bad. I think we should get this on a bucket. But anyway, continue. I just can't believe how much stuff you're buying. Dude, and now the last couple orders, that was on Amazon Prime Day. So it showed me how much I saved. I spent like $1,100, but I saved $400. That's something your girlfriend would say.

That's girl math. Or like anybody. Yeah, girl math. But if I'm going to buy a bunch of stuff, it might as well be on Amazon Prime Day. Ken's looking at the Amazon Prime Day. You just justified it. I saved so much, I had to spend more. How much are you saving? What is on this Amazon account, Ken? I guess, how much did I save or how much am I saving? He's got some solar outdoor lights. Nice. How much for those? $21. Not bad. Not bad. A vacuum for $200.

What kind of Dyson? Needed it. A shirt? A pillow that I think you bought a Shurion for. Dude, the pillow was so expensive. How much? And I love it so much. It's $150.

90? I bought a purple pillow and I returned that shit. Really? I'm glad that in 100 days I could return it. I love it so far. It smells like hot dogs. Random cable lights. Table lamps. Probably not random to him. What's the crazy shit Ben bought? Considering I don't know about that. I don't think I can probably say at this point. Miniature size condoms.

micro condoms probably I wish they made those oh man you finally know the right fit just so much dude I bought like a one of those pro tech decks I've always wanted one of those that's the one that I saw that's the one that I saw I saw tech deck finger tech deck I think it was let's see

$59. But on Amazon Prime Day... Don't worry, I got two of them. Yeah, on Amazon Prime Day, it was like $49. Whatever. Either way... Wait, so how much money did you spend and how much did you save? I missed that part. Oh, spend $1,100, save...

400. If you spent more, you would have saved more, bro. That's true. And some of this shit I actually returned to. And some of it was not for me. It was for Sydney. Did you see that guy that said Amazon Prime was sponsoring the road repairs? Oh, dude. You guys see this? So he was ordering like concrete or asphalt, whatever, off of Amazon. Okay. And he was...

repairing the roads and then filling the boxes up with sand and returning them and getting his money back but then saying that Amazon is sponsoring the roads. Either concrete or asphalt or whatever. Some sort of patch. He was very inefficient. He weighed them. They were just like a box. Some sheetrock mud would come in or whatever. That sounds illegal.

No, it was illegal. He got jammed up. Okay. But, like, he was posting about it and being like, no, I mean, Amazon's got the money. They can take care of our roads or, I don't know, something like that. Interesting. $166 for a five-gallon pail of asphalt patch. Really? Yeah. He just, like, weighed them, went down to the beach, filled them up, returned them. Not my attention. Wow. All right, fellas.

This has been another episode of guys talking into mics. We are the guys. These are the mics. Yes, sir. And as you guys have seen, yeah, I am the mic. We are in zoomies, which is so lit. So if you guys, you know, we got stuff on the website too, but if you make it into your local zoomies, if you have one, go check it out. We have all of our life wide open. See boys TV gear in there. And it's so exciting.

So sick. Go buy some Cheetos, too. Everyone stop by this weekend. Thank you for coming by and supporting our dream. Yes, sir. Oh, yeah. Good point. And don't forget to vote for me for mayor. Yeah. Benjamin. Good point, Ken. All right. Peace.
