- Ken, do you feel uncomfortable with Mike being here? - You're gonna be the reason I'm fat again one day. - No, no, no. - I caused a car accident the other day. - Wait, wait, what? - Like I'm in no spot right now to get after Ken, but after putting these headphones back on, I'm a little pissed. - Fire it up, yeah, fire it up.
Round two. What? This is round three now. Round three, baby. We just filmed an entire podcast and Ken forgot to hit record. It was so good. It was so good. Funny jokes, too.
Like funny jokes that just won't ever hit the same. You can't recreate that. Like it's just in the garbage. Like I'm in no spot right now to get after Ken, but after putting these headphones back on, I'm a little pissed. Oh yeah, but.
Fired up. Yeah, we had to get up and walk away, you know, let it cool down. Yeah, I did sit back down, and it just got real again, dude. I'm pissed off. I just binge-ate a whole box of Cheez-Its down there. I wasn't going to drink this morning. Yeah, dude. No, it was funny. You guys all walked off, like, blowing off some steam, just getting reset. CJ goes, should we just run it tomorrow? Yeah.
No, we're good. We're good. We're good. Ken, just get out of here, bro. Hey, he feels bad, though, and he knows he messed up because Evan put him over his knee and gave him a bare-bottom spanking. Oh, my. Before we do start, though, are they recording? Yeah. Can we get someone else to check? It says record on there now, right? He's like, what does wreck mean? Yeah.
So we're live? Yeah, all right. So we're back. We got Jake on the podcast. Not necessarily as like an interviewed guest, but you're more of a homie guest. Yeah, yeah. Thanks, bro. Good to be back. Round two. Wait, why'd you leave, bro? Yeah, thanks for that again. I didn't know. Just to ask him that again. Yeah, yeah. That was the opener, and it really threw me off guard, and everyone laughed. And it was so funny, but you missed it because Ken didn't hit record. Oh, man.
Almost as funny the second time. Yeah. Good to have you. Look at the setup right now. And we're rolling five mics deep. I love it. At least on this side. We had to take the mic away once Ken, you know, messed up. I'm sorry. This whole podcast is going back to the mic.
but yeah this is nice we got to get another mic so we have six and then we'd have jamie over there he could defend himself a little bit i would have been really scared to have six mics uh or five at the first start but we've gotten really good at you know letting each other talk like at the beginning i don't think i would have been able to like it's just a lot of like it's a big group how are you gonna do it but i agree ron can you or get us another mic for next next week
Yeah, Ryan, you missed out. We were kind of talking about you're kind of balling and everyone's wondering where their podcast money is. And I just envision you looking like the Bang Energy owner at one point, just getting out of your TRX just with a big LifeWide Open podcast chain and everything.
Ryan's running it like a true boss. He's just sitting back today, not doing anything. Yeah. Watching, you know. Counting his hundreds. Counting his money. Yeah. Yeah. God, Ryan, we're in an iced out chain. This is the Life Wide Open podcast. Meanwhile, we're all like, hey, have you gotten paid at all for the podcast yet? No, you'll know when Ryan's really balling when someone else starts doing the ads.
Yeah, that was right. That was really hands up. And he'll be on an island in like... Yeah, Puerto Rico. All jokes aside, I think I kind of want a Life Wide Open chain. That might go hard. That would go. If anyone's going to pull it off, it'd be you, Ev. Dude, we like... In your donk, bro? That's what I'm saying. But that's Evan's next surprise, but we accidentally make it say Life Wide Open podcast.
$20,000 chain. Cut to podcast fire. And with G-Boys TV, it's like the whole perfect thing. Yeah, the chain goes like weirdly hard, but it said podcast at the bottom and everyone's like, what the fuck?
Ev, you really could pull off like a chain though, especially one with like a, what do you call it? A medallion. Like I could see it like a Steve will do it style, like heavy chain with something because it just fits your like vibe, you know? Like it doesn't look off you driving the donked out El Camino. Like you're just like, Oh yeah. I mean, that's who I'd expect to hop out of there. If it goes wrong and right at the same time, equal mix. But you love that, don't you? Yeah, I do. Yeah.
Quite literally, I'm not poking fun. I'm just entertained by it. But the amount of times that I've caught you leaning up against something, you know, 10, 20, 30 feet away from the El Camino, just smiling. Staring at it. Dude, taking it all in. I came out of Menards the other day and looked across the parking lot and laughed, like, just a little bit. Now you got the thing, like, it's like the most car guy thing ever where you hop out of the car and then as you're walking away, you're, like, constantly staring at it. You're like...
Going back, you do like four look backs on the way in. Yeah. You ever done that before? I suppose you never would have done that with your Raptor. You know, glance at the Raptor a time or two. Yeah, just like... Making sure you didn't leave the door open. Turn the key off, yeah.
I only leave the fridge door open. That's true. I didn't have to get after you. Yeah, I came to the shop the other morning and the fridge door was open. I said there's only one little gremlin running around here late at night leaving fridges open. Honest mistake. I was driving Ryan's TRX earlier today that he bought with all the podcast money that he doesn't pay us for anything.
Yeah, I was wondering that. I parked next to him the other day. I looked at his truck and I looked at mine. I said, something's not right here. Something feels off. He's getting some extra money somehow. Yeah.
You got nice wheels. Lift it up. It's already a nicer truck. More lights than a Christmas tree. Yeah. I mean, it's a fast truck, so every single time that you come to a stop sign, you have to do a full throttle pull away from it. Yeah, he noticed his tank was empty when he hopped back in it. Actually, Ryan, sit in on this because I'm curious to hear your take on it. It's got 37s, which are massive tires. I think they're, what, 13 wide? It's a big wheel. I was...
fighting for my life just to keep that thing on the road. I was darting from lane to lane. I was hitting each
Each side of the whites. Really? Yeah, bro. That thing is pulling all over the place. What'd you do to it? I didn't do it. I drove it. It drove fine when I drive it. It is a little dirty. When I drove it back from heydays, but I mean, you get used to it. Yeah. I mean, it's just a big truck with a big motor in the front. I mean, it's just something you got to get used to. I think it's the wheel. I think it's got to be the tires and the lift, but...
There's a safety hazard. Maybe you just need like an alignment. Legit, like bobbing and weaving just to keep that thing straight. It's got two extra cylinders in your little whap to it. Yeah. That's probably what it was. Couldn't handle the extra two cylinders. No, yeah. I mean, if you want a highway cruiser, 37 by 13 and a half ridge grapplers is not your ideal tire choice. Yeah, I suppose it does make sense. It's fun, though. Yeah, I will say. Must be nice. Must be nice, right? Yeah.
Dude, all those ads that everybody hates, they're finally starting to pay off. I'm surprised you're here right now. You're not sitting on an island. I was sitting on the beach drinking a pina colada. I was trying to get out of here, but my truck was out of gas, so I had to come do a couple more ads so I could fill it up, you know? One of the comments I laughed the hardest at the last time we did the podcast is when you had like a back-to-back ads and someone's like, I feel like Ryan's ads is when you wake up at 2 a.m. and George Lopez is popping up on the screen. Yeah.
Honestly, that's flattering compared to them being like, I hate ads. I hate when Ryan does ads. Ryan does have some serious hype behind his ads. Everyone's talking about him. I mean, it's a whole topic. We could dive into it. We don't need to today, but we'll just let him serenade you guys halfway through this podcast. If you guys are lucky, you might even hear a couple today. You will. Right there. Right there. I think Ryan should start his own podcast, but just do ads.
Ken, you want to pull up bills or what? Ken, as if you hadn't done enough. Don't touch anything anymore. He's trying to get me to pay for his bills. Are you pulling up invoices, Joe? As easily the most tech-savvy person in the group, I still don't know how you struggled to fill Jamie's shoes. Damn, that was harsh. That was harsh, bro. That was harsh, Mike. It genuinely surprises me.
Dude, leave the guy alone. Get out of the mic, you asshole. Jesus, dude, that was tough on him. He's already had a hard morning. Mike, what's your deal? Just tell him he's bad at his job right on the podcast. No, I'm saying he's got big shoes to fill. He said that he can't fill them. Oh, okay, okay. Then it is a little bit of a soft spot. I didn't realize that he...
came out and said that I can't fill those shoes. No, you said that. Just out of nowhere, man. Everyone's having a good day. I feel uncomfortable now. Just laughing, you know, having a good time. Can you grab Ken a tissue, please?
If we're in the mood of calling people out... Oh, no. Jake, what's up with the shirt size over here? Dude, come on! I thought we were going to forget about this. All right. It's fine. I'm in between sizes. I thought I was like a shmedium large. No, you ain't in between sizes. You're just wearing the wrong size. Okay. Well, I used to be like...
XL, and I used to love super baggy shirts, right? Like 4X, remember all the rejects? They weren't baggy on you, though. They were just fitting. Yeah, thanks, bro. I know, I know. But then, like now a large, it felt too big. So I put on the medium, it felt good. But then when you wash it, it goes. So what are you doing? Are you trying to work your way down to a small or what? No, that's what, yeah, you threw the medium large in just in case you can dabble in the small. He's covering three sizes of shirts right now.
What size t-shirt are you? Small, medium, or large? Whatever you got. I'm in between and I just... I'm just trying to fit in. It's your own brand, man. It's your own brand. You shouldn't get your own shirt and your own size. You should start by trying to fit into your t-shirts.
But you're down to a medium because how much of you... No, he's not down to a medium. He's more down to a large, but you're looking great, James. You lost damn near what, 50 pounds now? Yeah, two pounds away. My goal is like... My goal is 1.7... So I was 225. My goal is 175. Just to say I actually lost 50 of 177 last Friday. That's crazy. That's actually insane. What are you doing to lose 50 pounds off?
I basically, so what I do is... Quit jerking off. Yeah. Are you kidding me? Knocks all the people that had my back last video. So me and Cody go to the gym every morning. I'll like run. Yeah, it's not considered... It's not considered jerking off if you have help. Knocks all the people that had my back last video. What do you mean by that? What does that mean? I don't know why you do that.
Hold on, do you think people were against you? No, no, I was just like, they were like, yo. I can't get behind Jake. Comment section. Now that I found out Jake doesn't jerk off anymore, I've really lost a lot of respect for him. Unsubscribed because of no jerks.
No, I meant like the guys that just thought it was funny. They could have left that out, but good, good. No, whatever. Yeah. Sorry. I'm sorry. That's all right. Okay. That's good. What we're saying. You lost 50 pounds. Yeah. Yeah. And you asked how I did that. I quit jerking off. No, um, I literally, all I just started doing was just like, kind of like overdid it. I just started like running two miles every day and then, uh, eating better. I like,
And then I started just boxing at night and stuff. So I just like. So two workouts a day. Yeah. Two workouts a day. And then I try and like limit myself. It was like 1800 calories a day. Yeah.
Hell yeah. That is overdoing it, folks. That's impressive, Jacob. You led with that. You said, so basically I just overdid it, you know? How long did it take to lose 50 pounds? Like how long have you been doing this for? Dude, so the craziest part is like the last 10 has been like the hardest. So I lost maybe 40 in like two months. You got to probably chop off a limb at this point. Yeah. Yeah. Like the last 10 pounds took forever. And I'm just literally at this point just trying to force it to happen so I can say I did it. And then I'm just straight cheeseburger.
And now I'm actually wondering, like, how funny of a battle would it be if you're like, yeah, I got two pounds left. Like, you're going to be battling now with, like, gaining muscle weight. Exactly, yeah. Like, you know, like, there's not much fat left on you, believe it or not. You could just quit eating, go frail, like that frail look. Just to get that brittle in bones. We could get you in the sauna. You remember... I bet you could lose two pounds right in the sauna today after this. Honestly, maybe if I did start, you know, boinking it again, I'd lose some weight. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
But that is wicked impressive. Yeah, it felt good. That's probably the only time I'll do that in my life. At least it did it. What's like your goal? Get back to weight. Like you said, you're like, I'm going to lose 50 pounds and I'm going back to cheeseburgers. Where do you want to be? I want to be like a good 190, like a muscle 190. Yeah. Just under like 200. Cause after that dude, it just kept going. Like the scale. When I almost saw 130, I was just like, damn, that's big. Oh, 230. 230. Yeah. No, 230. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know. And I just like, the reason I wanted to do it, I like ran to the end of my driveway one day to get the mail, ran back and halfway I was like,
And I was like, holy, this ain't cool. It wasn't the let's fiesta. No, no, no. That was a long time ago. It is funny that like that can go a long ways. Like you're like, why am I gassed right now? And it can change your whole mindset. But we do that when we go snowmobiling and we're just dead compared to people who do it like all the time. And then we're just like a couple more days of this shit. Yeah.
We should start working out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We never really do, but... It's the altitude. Yeah, always blame it on the altitude. Yeah, when in doubt, blame it on the altitude. I like that. It's a good remake. Blame it on the a-a-a-a-altitude. How have we never sang that when we're on the mountain? So what? Jay! What?
I love that. I can tell. Oh, it's marching a little line. Blame it on the altitude. No, there's no way we can march in the same... Man, I can't believe we've never marched to this way. Who said marched? Who's trying to march out there? I'm not. Dude, it's going to gas me out, bro. Then you blame it on the altitude. I am really looking forward to every...
Every time I look right over to Ben and I'm saying some shit that obviously could be laughed at or scoffed at, I can see when CJ makes a face based on Ben's face. It's great. I don't even have to look at him.
You guys ready for a new topic? Yeah, for sure. Okay, I caused a car accident the other day. Wait, wait, what? Can you maybe airdrop that video to Ken? Yeah, oh, actually, we caused two car accidents. Me and Cody caused, yeah. I was talking about that. Oh, okay. So the first car accident we caused, me and Cody were downtown being mischievous.
And anyways, our buddy Tom was like rolling through town. You guys were taking out stop signs, weren't you? No, no. Yeah. That would have been pretty good, though. We got a whole bunch at home. So Tom never sees us downtown because I just don't like to go downtown that much. Cody starts going all the time. He's like, yo, come with me. And obviously you and Ryan convinced me. You're like, dude, if I was you, I'd be going downtown. Well, I'm like, yeah, you know what? That's right. Yeah, I know. This is your guy's fault. Yeah, you guys are in the police report. Yeah.
Yeah, it says they encouraged him to go out. Who is they? Ryan and CJ. Although they weren't present. Yeah. Well, they weren't present. Go out and find a nice gal. Yeah, so we just got dropped off, and we're walking down the sidewalk, and our buddy Tom sees us, and he's hanging out the window. He's like, yo, what up? And we're like screaming, like, yo, we're downtown.
He's like not paying attention. And there's a car in front of him. And he's like looking at us. And he just fully rear ends the car in front of him. We're like, oh, man, that sucks. Then we just go into the bar and ditch him. We're like, we don't want to be part of that. That's not our problem.
And the second car accident I caused is, this isn't my fault. All in one night? No, this is like a day later. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, it's a weekend. But I got new tires put on my Mustang, and I called this place. I'm like, hey, I need tires put on and oil change. I'm like, I have the tires in the back car, have the oil. You guys just got to drop it, do it quick. And he's like,
yeah i'll fit you in just like come in at two i'm like cool bring it in they do it real quick and he's just like hey my guys have been like busting ass you know and uh we kind of like fit you in he's like would you ever just do a burnout for everybody like as you leave i'm like hell yeah i got brand new tires i'll do a burnout so i'm like swinging it around in the okay parking lot and whatever just that's how he repays his work well they were all like would you ever just do a burnout for me they're like you don't want to hype them up kind of something to see for the day right yeah
I'm with you. Yeah. Ryan gets it. I don't know where you get off. That guy didn't even have to pay him that day. He didn't even have to go to a pizza party. Hey, guys. I gave you guys a burnout. Hope you all enjoy that. Get back to work.
Hey, man. What a really strange thing to say to a guy that you just put new tires on. Yeah. What a way to get a new customer, though. Yeah. Get me back in there. So I swing it back onto the highway and I'm just leaving. Right.
Well, this dude like rubbernecks me and comes flying in the parking lot and just hits a random parked car there. I'm like, oh my God, here we go. Oh my God. And that was that. I just didn't stick around. Did you leave? Yeah, I didn't leave. Are you kidding me? Hold on. So you just straight up cut him off? No, no, no, no, no, no. He was looking back. Yeah, looking back like, yo, that guy was doing donuts so those guys didn't have to get paid. Holy shit. Was that V6 Mustang burning the tires? Yeah.
That is more impressive, honestly. Not a V6, bro. If a V6 was doing a donut, I'd probably be more like opt to look. I'd be like, holy shit, that thing is ripping, actually. Yeah, that's how I caused two car accidents last year. Should have gone for the three-peat. Didn't you almost cause a car accident?
Jesus Christ. I mean, I didn't almost cause a car accident. The driver who didn't know how to zipper merge almost caused the accident. I mean, do you guys know how to zipper merge? I don't even know what that means. Oh, my gosh. It's like one guy goes, then the other guy. Literally, revoke this man's license. Mike says you. Last podcast, you didn't even know what a zipper was. That's true. That was the best fucking callback ever. That was so funny. But, yeah, if you don't know how to zipper merge, like...
Get aft. Yeah, you got to get on the pace. So anyway, there's a ton of construction in Fargo, the town next to us. And so it's one lane. You're coming around on the highway. And then the other southbound lane merges on to the other lane, which then merges another one. So I'm coming in and I see, you know, there's a line of cars. So I flash my headlights, let this lady in the CRV in.
And this guy in like a nice red charger tries to kind of bop in. And I'm in my truck, which as you know, it's impossible to drive. How am I supposed to get out of his way? So I'm like, fuck this guy. And so I just keep driving and like get right up behind the lady in the CRV and like block him out. And he's like coming in like he's going to sideswipe me. And I was like, do it? I don't know. I was having a bad day. Damn money. No, not that.
I don't give a fuck. It would have been him who merged into me. Kind of lit though. In the snap Ryan sent us about ranting about that. You're like, I got my dash cam on. Hit me. Yeah, I mean, I did. It would have been his fault. I'd get some new wheels and tires that don't pull this hard. Yeah.
So he's like flicking me off through the window. Like he was all hot about it. And I, having a really bad day, immediately caught joy out of ruining this guy's day. So we hop in line. He's behind the trailer flicking me off. And I like throw my hand out the window, give him the banging. You know, I'm just like, oh, yeah. Thumbs up. He looks over at the passenger. Was that Jake Sherbrooke? And he's like, oh, the fact that this guy is the banging. Yeah.
It's legendary. We get into the lanes where he's about to come around so that I see him do a hard merge across his white line that you can't merge across, asshole. And then he's going to fly up next to me. So I'm looking to grab my phone to put him on the news.
And I see him roll down his window and he's got his phone out. He's trying to put me on the news. Oh man. I'd love to see this video. I know it's gotta be out there somewhere. And so I see it and I just give him the biggest thumbs up and smile and go, he looks at me like this and the phone goes on. He goes, see boys. Yeah.
And you're like, everything about what you just did is just like blown out the window. Yeah. And I just looked at him and I kind of like shook my head and laughed. I was like in shock as well. Yeah. And then he just hit his brakes and followed like way behind me the rest of the time in embarrassment. Amazing. That guy realized he effed up. But I will say. No, no. I think he just goes, oh.
He's stupid. Oh, this guy's a psycho. I got to stay clear of him. I was just going to say, if that video ever surfaces, I guarantee Ryan's just going, you looking at my shirt again, bro. Stop. No, I can't stop. Okay. Stop it. Be proud of the guy. I know I am. Get some help. I am. You're going to be the reason I'm fat again one day. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm fat. Hey, hey, if anybody can laugh at you, it's me. Okay. I was just sick. Valid. Yeah.
I was just saying, I envision this video surfacing. Ryan told it his way and it just rhymed. I put that window down. I gave him the biggest thumbs up. Yeah, as he's like, it was a replay of him telling the story and then next to it is Ryan.
Figure it out, dude. Oh, man. Yeah, we got to get that video. It's got to be out there somewhere. Well, it might come back around now. Ryan was obviously having a bad day because he was doing Ben's errands. It was even funny. I was on the toilet yesterday and Ryan calls me and goes, dude, tell Ben to answer his phone. I'm at Best Buy. I'm like...
All right, all right, all right. That's after I'd called him like 17 times. I was like, what is he doing? It's so important. What were you doing? Standing at the line in Best Buy trying to get holding up a whole line of TVs for him. I was trying to pick up Ben's TVs. I was trying to pick up Ben's TVs in Best Buy holding up the line. He's not answering his phone. You got some unchecked aggression going on.
To be fair, I was a little busy. I was just avoiding your phone calls. I think you were, didn't I? You just wanted me to struggle.
No, man. Yeah, they were not going to let those TVs go with the wrong guy. They were in my name, and they were not going to let Ryan speak for them. I even gave them your social security number and stuff, and they wouldn't give me the TVs. I was saying they're like, listen, we'll have to put them in your name. You have to do a title transfer later. Title transfer the TVs.
Yeah, thanks for getting that taken care of, Ryan. No problem, dog. Then you came over this morning and helped me hang them up. How big of TVs did you get? They're nice. They're nice. They're big boys? They're nice. I think like a Sony Bravias, dude. The best TV in the game. Yeah, Mike. I didn't want to flex my TVs, but I guess I'll let you do it. You got some good ones? Yeah. You got... So that's what you're into now, TV. You got some good ones, man. Isn't it amazing though? Straight up like a mid-grade TV is like...
nowadays. And they're like, and so cheap. A couple hundred bucks. TVs are cheap now. It used to be like such a big deal, but they're cheap as hell. It's amazing. So I was asking what size you got. Yeah. What size? You get like a 75 inch and a 65 inch. Damn.
Jacob, didn't you get a really big TV? Yeah, so. Oh, yeah, you did. On order. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How big? 120, baby. What? Yeah. Ben's got those little baby TVs. You got the little boy TVs, bro. Hold on, Jake. Hold on, Jake. 120? Hold on. How much was that? Hold on, Jake.
Is it one TV that's 120 or is it the four? No. It's the water? It is 106 on the top and 120 corner to corner. Is it a projector? It ain't a projector. Wow.
I didn't know that they made TVs that big. So basically what we wanted is when you open the door to our shop, you just see a TV and you're like, this is sick. Yeah, and then just a couch and you just sit down and just watch. Yeah, that way when you have friends come over, they're like, what are we doing? You kidding me? You see that 120-inch TV? Who wants to come over and watch TV? Dude, once we got the TV hung up in my house, Ryan goes...
Man, that's an awesome TV. And I go, that might be the most American thing I've heard you say in a while, Ryan. Also, the sizes have always been like that. So you can get a 65, a 75, let's say maybe an 85 now at a pretty decent price. And then you go up. So let's say the 85 inch is two grand, 2,500, three grand. And then you go up to that like 100 inch and it's just like 8,500. Yeah.
I don't know what size TVs. You can get like a freaking 75 for like probably 800 bucks. Yeah. And as soon as you go up to that massive size, like I'm a little bit concerned for you and your spend. I'm just worried. How much was that? Yeah. How much is a 120 inch TV? They're a lot. 10 grand? Under 10 grand? Yeah, they're under 10. Seven grand? Somewhere in that neighborhood. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I mean. You go to that big size. Yeah, it is a supercharger. I'm
I'm just glad to know you're spending your money wisely, Jake. Yeah, are you kidding me? You could have done way worse stuff. If there's one thing I know about you, Jake, you always love watching TV. Yeah, man. I almost wanted to be on there one day. Yeah. Hey, okay, yeah. Do you think that maybe that's too big of a TV, Jake?
I've thought about it, but at the same time, it's just going to be like, are you ever going to be like, man, that 120 inches is an inconvenience? Well, yeah, when you're sitting like five feet away from it. You can literally only see like 17 pixels in front of your face. You got a big room in there. You'll be fine. We'll worry about it then. We'll see who's laughing when you come over and we're watching games at my house.
Okay. One thing I really want to say, and I'm so mad I was not a part of it, you guys. I don't know how many podcasts ago, but when you guys talked about when I posted a story on Ken's phone, I wanted to be here. No, we got to get Ken probably on here. Yeah. Ken, can you get in here clear? Now you're back to bullying him. I can't help but bully Ken. Yeah.
Yeah, I was like, hey. What is your deal, man? He's up on him. Mike was already pulling him just a little bit ago. I was like, maybe I should step out. Are you going to say some mean shit again? I just, I don't want to. No. You don't want to be nice? For the record, no, I'm not going to say mean shit again. And also, I just, you know, I figured maybe Ken could open up a little bit more if I'm not here. Oh, it's fine. Ken, do you feel uncomfortable with Mike being here? Sometimes, yeah. Right now? Uh.
He hasn't said anything quite to that level yet. You're lucky that CJ's in between you two. I think Ken's lucky, actually. It's by design. Yeah. But yeah, fun story. Bummer that you weren't here. So if you guys didn't hear... You'll have to go listen to the pod. But basically what I did, in hindsight, is I... Not in hindsight. It's what you did. Not in hindsight. What you did. What I did is I...
Before Snapchat was like big, what it was before it was like monetized was just you and your friends. And that's all you had. And then... Quit trying to downplay this shit. You posted a picture of your dick on Ken's story. Yeah. There's nothing more, nothing less to it. Yeah. You just took my phone, opened up Snapchat, and that's what you did. Yeah, and I...
I said, what's up dudes? Yeah. It was the funniest thing. I think the, the caption might be the most disturbing part. I think the best part was that he was stretching his dick. And I don't like it. We made it a little fucked up. Like you're like, what does this guy do? And not only is he posting this, but it's just some fucked up, like what's he doing to himself? You know? So I do got to say now I'm sincerely sorry for that.
But I do still think it's super funny. Yeah. It's good. In hindsight, it is kind of funny. But it did tick me off pretty bad. I could tell. And I think what we... I really want to see an apology for is like, yeah, it's funny enough that I appreciate you apologizing for that. But what about beating him up? Yeah, that was... I think that's where he deserves an apology. I don't...
We were just wrestling around, you know? I don't know if it was called wrestling. You were just flat out assaulted. No, I'm not going to lie. After re-watching that arm bar, I'm like, dude, that guy is an a-hole. You're going to break his arm. He's like bending backwards. I'm like, I don't even know if I can do that now. He's watching a dick on his story. He already got punked. Yeah, you don't have the right to be mad for this. Yeah, literally. Beat your ass on top of it. Beat some sense into you.
Maybe I am the bully of the story. You know, I do have a video actually of you kind of bullying Ken the other day. The other day? Ken was stuck in this ball and you were like making it so he couldn't get out and he didn't realize it. Like he's trying to get out but the ball, yeah, Ken's figuring out. Ken couldn't get out to save his fucking life. Look at this. Look at this.
I'm wondering why I couldn't get out of there. Ken couldn't get out and he just literally thought he was stuck, but Jake was just behind him the whole time. Yeah, we pull it off and you're like, dude, something about the ball was just pushing down on me. Didn't even notice it. Dude, those Orby balls are
our fantastic inventions. Yeah. Super cool. I just wish they were more durable. I guess they didn't. That one didn't break. Did it pop when the mini truck hit it? No. That's awesome, but we managed to pop it in our shop right out the gate. We got metal shavings on the floor. Yeah, that's what it was. But other than that, yeah, they weren't cheap. What, $1,200 a piece? Glad that we got, because they make all different sizes, but...
Honestly, coming into it, I was like, dude, this is going to be kind of silly. People have done it on YouTube, and I was just like, this is going to be kind of like, eh. Until we had them blown up, I was a little worried they were going to be too small. I was just like, this isn't going to be that funny, and they are the most fun ever. They're lit. I'm glad that we still have them. They're still usable. I thought they were going to be broken after the...
Hour of filming. Dude, we pulled them behind the boat. Dude, it was like the most fun ever. And I was trying to get you guys to do it. Someone, obviously you were driving, but I was like, someone else has to do this. And everyone's like, dude, I am good. You guys are crazy MFers, bro. And I'm like, no, seriously, someone's got to get in. I think if you could just get past the idea of it popping and you being stuck in there and basically sinking, like that's the only thing that would have.
Which I didn't see happening, but it was. I don't know from your perspective, like your hole was pretty open, but when you were pulling Ryan, you couldn't get out of that, dude. It was like, it was tight. Why would I ever try to get out of it while we're getting yanked?
No, like let's say if it was sinking. It would take so long to deflate. Yeah, as long as it didn't like detach from the rope and then you got somehow it popped, but then now we don't have any way to like grab it and just start sinking. But it'd be a hell of a way to go out. I was trying to do a mixture of driving like...
You did great. Driving crazy, but not too crazy where it's just like, this is just not, you know. You did great. You know what would have been awesome? When we did the slip and slide a long time ago. That would have been so fun. Pile like five people in one of them and just. We got to bring them to a big hill, I feel like. This winter. Yeah, I was just watching. This winter I'll be good. Bring it to a ski hill. DL Mountain. Yeah. Yeah, so we definitely have to do that. It looks so fun. I was just watching the Sickos video of it. They like went to the back country and did it. Oh.
Oh, really? Yeah, they did. I was like, still, it looks so fun because they actually got cruising. Yeah. It was like a full blown. It was pretty gnarly. I saw that. Did you guys ever see the video of the dudes and the ones in Russia?
All I know is they do shit different in Russia, so I already know it's good. They died. Oh. Oh, yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Different. Yeah, they're built different. So they're going down this ski hill, right? And there's like a barrier along the bottom. Well, at the bottom, it's open flat. He goes off the side of the mountain, and it's like I'm talking thousands of feet, and he is just no coming back. Cool.
What a terrible place to do it. Yeah. Russians are crazy. No, Russians are... Like, they couldn't find a single better spot? I don't know. It was spur of the moment. Pull on the side of the mountain. I got to have Evan step in here for a real, real fun story. Again, you know, it happened. I'm not mad about it. I was, like, slightly made into an accomplice for this, but you guys might be. I don't know, like, what Evan was thinking at the time, but...
This shit happens all the time. There was just way higher consequences this time. That's what I should say. Man, what a lead in.
I just couldn't believe my eyes. So basically, after we did the four-wheeler snorkel, we have this four-wheeler with a bunch of weights all over it. It still is outfitted fully with sandbags and weights and all this and that. But we didn't really strap the weights down because we were just driving at low speed in the water. So the weights were kind of just sitting there. I don't like where this is going. I mean, you can see in that other view Ken just had, you can see that there is...
$350,000 worth of cars sitting. And he's like, I'm going to do donuts, bro. And I was like, I, it was like the most skeptical I've ever been. And I still, I, I shame myself for not just stopping you. Okay. I will see this. Now I'm worried. I know everything should be okay. This was a while ago. We had that four wheeler. Oh my God. I got something in my mouth. Ziploc bag in my mouth.
Man, we got Dumb and Dumber here. They're actually the two smartest. Mike is barefoot. He kind of looks like a barbarian. This is why you guys have to sleep in so long. This is what you're doing at night. I love the snorkel, dude. And it's so heavy. This four-wheeler weighs like 2,000 pounds. Four-wheel drift, he says. That's all he says. And I'm like, bro, you're insane. Halfway. Four-wheel.
You had to have thought that this was a bad idea. That thought never crossed my mind at that point in time, believe it or not. That is so concerning. Well, I mean, nothing got broken. All right, so the first burnout, a weight flies off, I see. And it flew in the right direction. I think I thought, like, oh, the loose weight already came off, so now we're good. I don't know. A Ziploc bag of some sort. Oh, man.
Switch views, switch views, switch views! No, don't do it yet. The way it's gonna come off... Into the shipping container and smash it! Dude.
So like that weight could have hit either of the cars. Could hit anything. Could hit anything. Man, have you really just lived your life one bad decision at a time? Sometimes it pays to be lucky. You were literally doing a burnout within a foot of my side of my GTR. Throwing rocks all over it. Other camera angle. How the floor was clean. Yeah, I'm sure it was. That's why the Zorb ball got popped. I don't know.
I do remember the next morning, Ben goes, why is there black dust all over my white car? Man, what a... But basically, I just couldn't believe... The fact that this is happening is extremely bizarre. Is it not? Yeah, no, it's bizarre. The fact that he was just back on, he's...
I don't even have pants on. No, dude. You're in your skivvies. Who would have paid for that? Oh, I think I'd just be working for free for quite some time. I think that's how it would work out. I think that is how that would work out. I mean, maybe pawn the Raptor.
That would have been tough. Then one of us has to drive them back and forth. At this point, I'd probably sell the wheels off the donk. That could replace some pretty serious damages. Hey, I'm just glad nothing happened to them. You know, everything always buffs out one way or the other. It usually finds a way to. That's why you don't have to think about anything. Exactly what I was saying. Just do whatever you want. It'll all buff out in the end, dude. It doesn't matter. Three years ago, Jake whipping out his credit card. You'd literally take your credit card out and be like,
Future Jake's problems. Yeah, how... Okay, so now that's your future Jake, how... I'm not going to lie, I ran into some issues. I'm like, oh...
Debt collector came showing up. I wish somebody would have told me. Yeah, dude. I wish. Yeah. It caught up to me for sure, but we got it cleared up by now. We were making some good moves. So when we were growing up, Jake used to work the most gnarly manual labor job. So in return, get paid the best, but it was still the worst. It was just a couple dollars more an hour than the rest of us would make. And a lot of hours a week. He was making a lot more than that. A lot of hours a week, too. Keep that in mind.
keep that line. It was just a lot because I only worked three months at a time because then afterwards I'd be either going to high school or college. Jake had all this money
And man, did he spend it. The dude had packages coming every single day of the most pointless shit. Jake was on Amazon before Jeff Bezos was on Amazon. I'm the reason that Jeff Bezos is where he's at today. I strongly believe that. I remember you being like, if I can average 30 to 31 packages a month, I'm doing good. Yeah.
What a day, baby. I will say I've been finding shit around my house. I'm like, why do I even have this? I'm like, oh yeah, that was like 2018 Amazon stuff there. Just trinkets. Yeah. So many trinkets. Dude, I got like a bunch of different recorders and just like, you know, the little flutes. Because I wanted to learn how to play Candy Shop on the recorders, which I did. I learned. Me and Mike did together. Yeah, you put dude, put that video up. Yeah, it's a good one. I'll give it to you, Ken.
Why? Dude, you gotta know. I'm not even looking at him. He just is trying to laugh and then I'm getting blamed for it. I wasn't even looking at him there. You got a shit grin going today. What? I want to know what's going on in that brain. You're just like... I'm just smiling, dude. I'm having fun sitting here with you guys. I'm not like this. You're telling the story about the recorder. I'm just like...
Just pissed? Yeah. I'm cheesing, man. I like that. He's smiling. Give the guy a break. You're like, oh, wow. Are you laughing at my haircut? Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!
Is that what it is? Are you self-conscious? Man acts like we can see his hair. I don't know. It looks great. I love it. I've been wondering why he's been laughing and looking at me so much, too. No, you're just funny, bro. Oh, that's a great compliment. I love that. You're just sitting there. It's awesome. I'm not even trying right now. That's how you know you're funny. At least funny looking. That's for sure.
No, and then you used to always have, depending on the season, the toy of the season, quads in the fall, snowmobiles in the winter, and then, I don't know. Car in the summer. Where are you going with this story? I'm not sure, man. That's a good story. Yeah.
I was a kid with no bills. I had an abundance of cash at the time. So yeah, I'm going to buy the stuff I've always wanted and saw on the internet. I know. I guess it's just me just like saying like, I'm like so proud of you. Yeah. Thanks. You guys are the same way. You're just doing the same shit still. We all are. I was always just proud of your motto. It may not be the best motto ever as far as financially, but you were like, run out of money. Just make more. Yeah. But there's a lot of truth to that. And,
And you were like, how do you make more? Work harder, you know, work faster. Go back to work. Work hard, play harder. That was a reckless financial motto, but there's a lot of truth to it. I've looked up to you over the years for like your lack of care of certain things. And that was just like one of them of just like, man, you can always just make more. And then like truly just enjoying the present and not worrying about the future. Never giving a fuck. Yeah. No.
Remember when you quit college and we had decals made that said, come home, bang it. You guys want to know something funny? There's still one of those decals on the Ford Edgemere. No one's taking it off. Yeah. So when Jake quit college, he like went rogue on us. Yeah. He just stopped going in the middle of like the semester. Guys, I ran out of money. Oh,
Yeah, so I had like an operating loan just to like live. So I got like 20 grand to pay for both semesters. Spent that 20 grand in one semester where they messed up is they're just like, you can take it whenever you want. I'm like, oh, really? How'd you burn through? What were you buying? Do you want to know what the last 31 packages a month? You want to know the last thing I bought before I dropped out?
I bought a VR system for my PlayStation with the last grand while I was in chemistry. I'm like, this would be sick. The best part was you installed that at home in your mom's basement and put some serious timing on it after you dropped out. Yeah, no, it was so worth it. I just knew I needed it. Right.
But I remember that we hadn't seen you in a couple weeks. But dude, you know what worked out? Everyone's like, oh, I got all these college loans. I paid off all my college debt in the summer. And then we got a Mustang. So it worked out. Yeah, exactly. Speaking of which, me and Ben were talking about the roadhouse. We got to do this. We got to do a big trip together. And I think we have the best idea of all time. We got to do like a cannonball run.
And we pick our stops and we tell people we'll pick them up along the way. So we start here and in Vegas. Yeah. All the boys. Everybody. As we go, the group gets bigger and bigger. Oh, yeah. Oh, that'd be sick. They drive their own cars. It'd be like a four. Yeah, they drive their own cars. So it'd be like, hey, we're going to stop here, here, and here. You can wait for us. Join the crew. I like that. I like that. And we just roll into Vegas like 100 cars deep. That'd be badass. Because I was like, keep in mind, like, these three here can only fit literally one other person in their car. Yeah.
That makes sense. Evan has to drive the donk. That's the rule.
I'm down. I love that. It's a great idea. Dude, you rolling around in Vegas in the dunk? We might not ever see you again. He's going to look like a local, dude. I might hop out and walk next to it as it rolls down the strip. Just let everyone know, that's my ride. It's my ride. The only thing that I can think of is just how chaotic it would be the closer we got just mobbing in a crew like that. Yeah. You know someone's going to do something reckless. Always. What do you think? Yeah.
Jake is like, cause it's like, I'm going to do something. Yeah. If one of us do something, everyone else with us and be like, Oh, I could do that too. Yeah. It would be fun though. Yeah. I think it'd be super fun. Like I want to like call ahead. And if there's like a drift tracker course open, be like, yo, can we rent it for the day? And then people have something to do. How many miles is it to Vegas? Like 759. That's not even that much.
That's actually not that much. What? It's only 759 miles? No, it's more than that. I was going to say. Let's look it up. But either way, I feel like the drive would be so much fun, even though we're all stuck in our own cars. It'd be so much fun. 1,600? That can't be right. It's a little bit more than double what Jake said. You put like 3,200 miles on your car in the trip, which is fine.
for ben that's about 20 grand in depreciation but just kidding i don't know what it would be but that'd be a blast i'd love to yeah i think it'd be super fun just get the whole gang and but you gotta so like i thought behind it was it's a uh contest between us so like last person there has to do this when we get there or something like a destination race so you know ben's getting last that's who drives
Five miles under the speed limit. I think I might be at a disadvantage. Yeah. You'd still be bent. Bro, that dunk is going to be on the limit. But yeah, a bunch of different other challenges too. Yeah, like last one there, I have to do something and then you're like... Another idea?
cheap car like you have a spending limit like maybe it's 500 bucks or a thousand bucks and then you got to go to Vegas because then people are breaking down along the way yeah that's true that would be interesting that'd be good you break down in like a like a bad area get beat up robbed like that that's what people want to see you know some drama yeah they want to see some failure along the way
I'll revive the old bourbon. That was a $500. Yeah. That would go the whole way for sure. Well, I mean, with some big wrench time into it, probably. Yeah. I guess we'd maybe allocate some wrenching time to it, but yeah, I love both those ideas either way. It's the big boys trip. We cruised to dinner the other night and like we all drove separately.
I was honestly like the first time we've ever gone for like a little cruise in the area where like everyone's mobbing. Man, I shed a tear. It was so beautiful to see all the sunset. Pop up this clip right here. Going over this hill. The donk.
crest in the hill. Then you got a Mustang. You're not sure if it's going to stay on the road going over it. If it's going to hit you or something. You're always on your toes. Yeah, that was a beautiful moment. Dude, Cormorant has great car culture. It really does. I mean, it's pretty much not to pump our own tires all because of us, but like we got... It is just us. To be fair, there's no one else here. We got a lot of variation in cars and a lot of different cool cars and all these different sorts of...
genres you know yeah like if you went to fargo we'd have a better car show right here than you'd ever see in fargo when the whole band's here we were talking the only thing we're literally missing is a porsche like we had a corvette you had a camaro there's pretty much everything gtr lambo i feel like none of us are porsche guys yeah maybe i could see maybe like ryan or ken having one but i could whip a 911 an old i could see evan that i just feel like porsches are for like
You got to be like proper in them, you know? Like you're just like a. I'm not proper? You're more of a El Camino kind of guy. Yeah. I mean, I understand. Or like honestly like a Lamborghini, like Huracan. Like that's your style, you know? Like punk. Is that punk? Yeah, I mean. Evan's more galore.
What was Bam's purple one? I could run one of those. Yeah, that too. Cut the sunroof in it. I don't need a sunroof. Ev would look good in a Gallardo. Yeah, you would. Purple. You could probably honestly trade your Raptor and the El Camino for a Gallardo.
And it's all-wheel drive. You should do that. That would be super sick. Put your cell phone on top. You could. It just would not be nearly as reliable. And it'd probably fucking break down and cost you a shit ton of maintenance. Most fun car decisions aren't based off reliability. Exactly. I'm just saying it's something you got in your back pocket. Trade them both in. Maybe make it through winter. Run the trucks for the winter. It's nice now. I got a few options. Got the Chevy. That's running great now. So maybe a different truck every day of the week. Coming up here soon. Are you going to drive the El Camino this winter?
Is it four-wheel drive? No. I want to say no, but I think I'll have to put a few miles on it this winter. Throw the sled in the back. Oh, my gosh. Or you could get some off-road tires, put it on, like just smaller wheels, bigger tires, and now it's lifted and has more clearance and usability. Very easy conversion from donk to dirt. Yeah, swap it.
No one has said that. If you keep your tires in the back, you could always be able to swap on the go. It's the title of your article, From Donk to Dirt, Evan Sheff. Evan Sheff on Motor Trend. Shaking up the car world. Imagine driving it on Donk setup to the Moab and then just swapping the wheels on the parking lot and going up all the hills. Drive it. Pull out Switcheroo and take off. Switcheroo. Yeah, that'd be pretty sweet, though. It's like a little Baja build.
It's just like the ultimate. Everyone would be ripping. Like, what can you do with that? Don, give me two minutes. NASCAR pit stop, the wheels unstoppable rig. I've had a little bit of downtime since my surgery. I've been watching a lot of football documentaries and a lot of NASCAR documentaries. And here's what I've learned. Little spark notes.
Dale Earnhardt Sr. was a legend I just watched a whole You had to learn that? No, no, no I saw his entire life story As true Americans You're just born knowing Dale Earnhardt Sr. is a legend Do you know why though?
He was the best. Yeah, I guess he was just... Have you ever watched him race? Have I ever watched him race? No, I haven't watched him race, but we just know he's the best. Yeah, true. If you do ask a lot of people about that, they'd be like, yeah, I mean, I saw the crash. Ryan, maybe cut the NASCAR. Yeah, no.
He's like, that was trash. I wish the mic wasn't recording for that one. Ken, you already stopped and started it again, right? He just saw Ben open his mouth. He hit the fucking end button. He's like, we're done here. I'm going to save Ryan the time. All right. Somebody else take over. I'm running out of branches. Oh, okay. I don't know. Can you articulate this story, Jake? So Jake learned to skydive before.
I guess. Yeah. Like solo. And that was dope to me. I want to do that. And then you did it. So, okay. So when I went to Hawaii, we went skydiving. There's tandem, you know, you're bolt bolted up to someone. And so we go up to like 10,000 feet, the door opens and you are just looking at ocean. And I'm like, Holy, like at that moment, I was like,
All right, this is it. Like, and they don't let you like bail when you're tandemed up, like you're going. And so the first lady that goes, she was like crying, like, oh, this is it. And the dude just yeets her out the door. She's gone. And I'm like, okay, this is sweet. So I like bail with the guy. And I just like, you know, when you're like breath takes away and you're free falling for maybe a couple seconds, then you get it back. And I was like, holy cow, that was the biggest adrenaline rush like I've ever had in my entire life. I'm like, I want to learn how to solo.
Like, I love this. I'm in Hawaii. I sign up for back here. I'm like instantly. I'm like, as soon as I get home, I'm learning to skydive. I want to do this. You take like eight hours of class. You learn like, so for those of you who don't know how to parachute works, like you have two parachutes. Actually, you got one that is your main shoot. And if you're like a certified packer, you repack it yourself. Hey, my buddy has a certified packer. I,
Anyways. Carry on. So, and then over here, so let's say it's like a red and a green handle. You pull the red if your chute fails. And, like, let's say it gets tangled up. You pull the red, and then you pull the green, which is your backup chute, right? And that one is, like, it never should fail. It's, like, you got to get it certified. It's packed perfectly. Packed perfectly. You got to...
Will you just let this story go, buddy? What's going on? This is a good story. Please. Just stop saying certified packer. Okay. Certified. All right. So it's got to be packed by someone higher up than just a normal packer. You guys, this is a good story. You're going to ruin it. Keep going. Just don't let these guys ruin this one. Okay. Yeah. Don't ruin my moment here. Anyways. So I go through the class. And before you go up, you go upstairs. Okay.
And you just have, yeah, here, I'll get this fixed real quick. Okay, so you go upstairs and you have to practice. Like, oh, you got a failure. Pull, pull, pull, pull, right? So if you pull the back up, well, this one's still connected. Now you're going to have like a double tangle.
So you practice that a whole bunch and how it works is when you learn, you do static line first. So you just have your whole cord attached to the plane. And granted, when I was in Hawaii, when I was in Hawaii, we had like the Mac daddy set up. So it was like a gutted giant plane with a hatch door walking around room. You can bail where I was at, get attached to the plane. They open the door and you hang from the wing.
And you let go. Like, you have to... It's no different than my dad's plane. You know how there's that little footstool? Yeah. They make, like, a bigger platform. You're flying. You open the door. You stand on the footstool. You grab the wing. And you crawl your way out to the end so you don't hit the back of the plane. I've always wondered... What happens if you fall? Then you'll get hit by the back of the plane? Like, if you... You probably get lucky. And you go down faster than you think. But... So...
They hook you up static line, which is like there's no cord, like pull cord yourself. It's just like when you leave the plane. I didn't know that. It makes me feel a lot better like that. It just happens. Yeah, because you learn to fly before you dive. Yeah, that makes sense. So basically, when we were taking our classes, let's say this guy's name is Mike and my other buddy's name is John. So John was in the army and he's done like trooper stuff, a lot of static line, but they have round shoots. So they just go straight down.
Mike was just like so worried. He's like, man, I just feel like my shoot's going to fail. I just don't know. And he's like, dude, it happens in like one in every 25,000 people. It's not going to happen to you. That's how rare it is? Yeah, I don't know the exact statistic, and there's probably tons of skydive people out there that know. But it doesn't happen.
It doesn't happen often. It's like one in a lot, right? He's like just worried. This is all he's talking about during class. All he's talking about. He needs to get out of there, man. Yeah. Same for you. That's what I would tell him. A little bit. And he's just, yeah, kind of just like psyching himself out, you know, when you overthink something. So finally it's,
Us three were going up, and John was like, yo, you want me to bail first just so you can kind of see how to get out on the wing? So I've done this. I'm like, yeah, that's perfect. So you have a headset on with speakers because then there's a guy on the ground telling you where to go, how to fly, where the landing zone is, and all that. This is your first solo? This is my first solo ever, static line. He's crawling out on the wing, and the pilot's like this, bails, and he is gone. And I'm like, holy crap. I'm trying to see him. I'm like, okay, his chute opened. He's flying. So I like...
Get out there. They hook up my static line and I'm hanging from the wing and I'm like, this is terrifying. I'm like, imagine I'm hanging onto an airplane and he's like, let go. And I literally like close my eyes and I just bail and I'm like climbing an invisible ladder. I'm like, I'm like, I knew I messed up. Cause you're supposed to like get free. And also my shoot opens and I'm like, Oh, I'm chilling. Right.
I'm flying and Mike's way down there. I'm like, yo, what up? Just like, we're all chilling or no, sorry. John's down there. We're all chilling. And all of a sudden we're like trying to scream. Like where's John? We see. No. Oh,
holy shit John's or Mike's dead Mike's dead yeah just like flew out of nowhere tangled shoot like this is a mess and I'm like oh my gosh and we can hear the guy on the ground he's like Mike green one red one like telling him how to do it he's like pull like just screaming at him like pull the levers in order like green red or red green whatever it is and he's like getting closer and closer and closer to the ground and we're like
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You're safe at this point, but you're scared. Yeah, I'm scared. I'm just, like, flying. Like, I'm not even watching that I'm driving a parachute right now. I'm watching Mike go to the ground at Mach 1,000 right now, right? Right before, like, I'm talking he was probably way closer or not as close to the ground as it seemed, but I'm like, I'm about to just watch a guy just hit the ground. All of a sudden, we see a chute disappear. Backup chute opens, and he, like, made it to the ground way faster than us. Really? And we're like, okay, Mike.
Mike's good. He's, he's chilling. So John lands, I come in, I land. And, uh, dude, when I landed, here's the thing. So like when you come in, you're supposed to like flare it last second to like kind of pick you up and then you run out. I did it way too high. And I just probably fell from like eight feet out of the air. It hurts anyway. So we're like, we get there and we're like, yo, that was sick. You know, we get to like, we get to go again, do it a couple of times, practice, like let you know what stuff we're like.
Where's Mike? He was done. There's literally a parachute pile in his suit on the ground. Dude, he crapped his pants in his suit, got in his car, left, told no one. Are we surprised that he pooped his pants? No. I would have too. But the fact that he just dipped right after. Gone. When you see someone poop,
past you, you're just like, oh man, that ain't good. That is a truly crazy experience to witness like that. Like you're saying, it's not common. It was sweet for us because we were like, oh, another $25,000 before that happens, so we're good to go. Oh, it is one. That's kind of common. It's like if the lottery was one in a thousand, I'd be buying so many tickets. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Big props to you for just doing it. I'd say from going tandem, like lots of people do that. It's like almost a tourist thing. I know you still got to get your nerves up for it a lot, but like to go solo. I maybe did like 10 static line jumps, which is just like alone. And you need like X amount of jumps before they teach you how to fly and pull alone. But your first time pulling alone, you got two dudes bailing with you just in case anything goes haywire. They'll like...
Straighten you out. Are you pulling out like a life insurance loan or? Yeah, I don't know. You want to know something really funny? After I literally went skydiving, my mom did like have me sign a thing and put a life insurance policy on it. Yeah. That's honestly valid. I'm surprised it was just then. Yeah, no kidding. I think she would have taken that out a while ago. Yeah, but it was crazy. Like Hawaii was such a cool experience. So like I think when I jumped alone, we were between like.
i don't know maybe 5 000 feet or three or seven somewhere low when you're in hawaii we were like 10 12. you are so high and falling for so long and the dude that i jumped with had done over like 5 000 jumps and he's like how squirrelly you want to get and i was just you know being like dude do whatever you want like just make us he had me spinning so fast i think so he's had a watch to show your mile per hour we were like going like 115 straight down spinning i'm like really
Just like hanging on for dear life. And then he just rips cord. And dude, talk about the biggest wedgie of your life. Like going from that fast to just a shoot. And like you are...
gone but yeah i was gonna say like is it kind of whiplashy like in a way it looks like it kind of yeah you go from 115 to what like you know 30 i will say if you guys get the chance i would just do tandem with someone like someone's got a bunch it's so fun no ev you wouldn't love it nope you don't want to nope why not even if it was hard no what do we have to do to get you to do how much money would it take yeah how many al caminos a lot what okay let's start here 10 000 bucks cash no no really
Out of everything you do that's, like, wild and reckless. Well, first off, I don't even like the thought I'd be going with someone else because I don't like this jackass in control of my life. Highly experienced, knows exactly what he's doing, still don't trust him. Fair. I don't... No. No. I don't like heights, dude. I know. I just find that so shocking that, like, you're okay with doing everything that you do, but you wouldn't strap yourself to somebody who has, like, made their profession...
doing that i don't like roller coasters like little kids enjoy those all the time i don't like that one day when we take an r6 skydiving then you'll do it no the first r6 guy because in order to take an r6 skydiving i'm probably gonna have to drive it all certified and do a i'll be like 50 jumps in yeah no i'd rather be comfortable i'd rather like
Jump it off like a couple hundred foot cliff into the water and roll the dice on landing. Then jump out with a parachute. With like 100%, like a 99.8% certainty that you're going to be okay versus jumping it off of a cliff into the water. I love that. That is like guaranteed going to hurt. The absolute gamble.
that all of those things are and the one has such better odds but you're like no i listen i like i like my skydiving how i like my pull tabs let's do no i think it'd be the opposite well i don't know i like pull tabs every time you play pull tabs there's like a one in a thousand chance you lose
Sorry, you win. So there's 999 times that you lose. Dude, me and Jake were on an absolute heater the other night. Don't forget about me. You were too, Ev. Yeah, I don't know, though. I get where you're coming from, being that you're afraid of heights, obviously. But it just seems so foolproof. I smell a title and thumbnail coming up.
So all you guys are down? Yeah. To go skydiving? Not even bad. Run it tomorrow. Let's just do it. I would do it if we were like... I don't think it's that crazy and I don't think it's special at all. The only thing that would be entertaining about it is getting you to go. It doesn't sound that entertaining. I don't even think anyone would want to watch that. It'd be stupid. I can just see the guy being like, alright, it's ready to go. We got a GoPro just facing his face and he's just like...
So I like to think that... I would have the shit in my pants and my chute would be working fine. You'd have been shitting your pants probably in the film. I like to think that if you guys ever saw Jackass 4, I don't know if it's in 4.5 or 4, but when Dark Shark, when they prank him into going skydiving, I'd like to think that if it ever happens, it'll be as entertaining, if not more entertaining than that. I'm going to bring a pair of handcuffs and handcuff myself to the plane so I can't possibly get tossed out.
Something tells me you're not kidding about that. I don't like planes. I'd be pretty shitty to be stuck in a plane, though. Man.
Let's just keep that idea way on the back burner. I would love to go skydiving with an R6, though. I think that's, like, the last thing to do with it. I mean, it's, you know, it's been in the mountains. It's been in Moab. Tried going on the water. Tried going on the water. Last thing is air. I mean, it was kind of like three locations. Yeah, it's also been in sand, too. But, yeah, I feel like we're missing the moon. Yeah, I'm down for, like, a spaceship ride up to the moon.
Rip around up there. Probably be cool. That would be so cool. That would be so cool. We'd do that and then people would be like, wow, still only one video a week? How do you guys not do two? You guys got all week to make a video and all you can make is one? It's up on the moon. There's no air. It seems like it's running a little rich. I think your R6 is running rich. We get to the moon and the master link comes off.
We didn't even bring an extra R6. Anyone got a spare match? Yeah, we started sourcing an R6. Oh, yeah, we go back to Earth. Is there, yeah, Venus is closer. Ken, all right, Ken, get on and find one. Oh, it looks like there's...
Oh, there's one on Venus. There's one on Venus. I love that. Elon delivery. The one on Mars is a little pounded on, but we might be able to kick him in the nuts on it. We got to the moon and like, yeah, Ken already had us in the back of the fucking spaceship. And then the Airbnb kind of sucked. I'm not going to lie. The space station? Yeah. Oh, my God.
Big wrenches out there with a full-on space suit trying to work on this thing. He's like floating away. Yeah, believe it or not, he already knew how to space weld, but... We make a trip to the Cormorant store from the moon for some wing nests. Oh, that's good. If there's anyone out there, though, that can take the R6 skydiving, reach out to us. I'm not coming with you. Oh, bro, it'd be so legendary. I'll watch it from the ground.
Have a couple Tonys. You'd have to. Have a couple Tonys? Maybe pile me up good enough, strap me to the guy where...
I'm probably short enough. I'd be strapped to the front of him like a baby carriage. They land Evan's feet on the ground. He's carrying him around. He's like walking around with him, but he's just hanging. He's got the biggest wedgie. He's got the biggest wedgie. You think they'd let me do it like on anesthesia? Then I'm down. Oh my gosh. That'd be like disturbing. Horse tranquilizers. Yeah, that's fine. What are those? Quaaludes. Give me some of those and we'll run it.
Where the hell are we going to get those? I don't know. I was hoping you wouldn't be able to, so I don't have to do it. Stay tuned for that. That'll be pretty good.
Shut up, Ken. You got a little smile on your face. Ken tries going, oh, shit, and stop recording right before the end of the podcast. Honestly, guys, that went well. You know, we could have had two. We would have been two podcasts ahead. Good job, everyone. Jake, I appreciate you coming on. Dude, thanks for having me. Yeah, I didn't really. Ben hit me up. He's like, yo, we're running a pod at one. I'm like, I haven't even thought about it, but you really don't have to when we get all together. It just kind of goes. Same time next week? It's easy, man. Psych! Oh, God.
Damn, Mike. That was too good. All right, guys. Thanks for listening. Thanks for having me. Peace. Peace.

for any occasion or as a gift. There's nothing like that humbled fog feeling. Rusty Clark, an Army and Air Force veteran, needed treatment at a VA hospital. Meet his wife, Juanita. We live above Borgantown, West Virginia. It would take us about seven hours to get here. And I was prepared to sleep on the hospital floor beside of Mr. Clark.
But the Fisher House opened up that door. We had a lovely suite to stay in. We had food to eat. We didn't have to worry about that because the Fisher House, the foundation, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher took care of all that years ago, following their dream to make our reality that we were together and we could be treated here. It's a great blessing.
I was in the Army Guard, and then I went into the Air Force, and then I met Juanita. Because of family's love. It's good medicine.
