- Okay, so I wrecked my favorite car. - Once again, you guys have the worst gifts you can possibly give. - If you were to bring one or two. - The twins. - To meet your mom, would you? - I just gotta do what's best for me once in a while, you know? - Is there anything else that happened that night that you feel comfortable talking about? - Oh yeah, like getting punched in the face? ♪ Something happening here ♪

What's up with the Creed memes? Dude, I don't like Creed. Will you get off of this? I mean, it's fine if you do, man. Creed's a great band. No, it's not. I thought you were talking about the movie. Yeah, you're hating on Creed like it's Nickelback. People like Creed. No, I like Nickelback. It's okay to like Creed. No, it's not. I like Nickelback. Nickelback's pretty good, too. Yeah, I will say right now, if I ever get to take Nickelback for a ride in my car, I'd do it. Jake, you'd take anyone for a ride in your car. Literally like a homeless guy across the street. Oh, hey, you need to ride somewhere?

Next time Jake goes and gets his tires put on, hey, these guys at the tire shop, they've been working real hard. Do you think you could just give them each a ride around the block? Just burn off the tires. I would love that more than anything. Some more black marks right outside the shop. Yeah, dude. I got like...

one very crucial part and i just had to come show everybody so i had to give multiple rides dude i mean it's a hellcat and uncle buck okay it's not it's a mustang but going back to uncle buck's hellcat i mean sexy red write songs about hellcats and srt's not about mustangs and camaro that's very true v6 ones that's very true you're you definitely got the cards are stacked against you yeah even when you're in a mustang but you're you're making it work

man. I am. I'm basically just trying to like give a good name for the community because like, you know, the Mustang community has a bad rep. All I got to do is not crash. Dude, you're real. You made of sliding in with our security cam footage that popped off. Almost 10 million already. Yeah. Pass the crash on like a date. Well, nobody's actually seen a video of a Mustang drifting that doesn't end in

Yeah, you're expecting it to hit something, and it's like, oh, my God, I better send this to my friends. Whoa, look at this. Every comment's like, CGI, not real. This is not a Mustang fake. And then everyone else is like, Toby Marshall was driving. And if you don't know who that is, it's like movie Fast and Furious. The guy drives a Mustang, and he mobs it, and it's kind of my hero. So you should look him up. He's the fucking greatest guy in the world, dude. So it wasn't you that came in and slid into the back of Ken's car? No, no, it was not me. Ken's got some rear bumper damage. Yeah.

Got some supper last night, pull in the garage, plug my car in, and I realized the back end is just fucked up. Have you checked the cameras here? I did. It was perfect. Everything was fine when I left here, and then when I got home two hours later, it's just messed up. You did slightly accuse me and Alondra.

Really? How'd that go? Pretty bad. We got to fight. Get this right. So last night, Ken texted me just out of the blue a picture of the back end of his bumper, right? And it's just all scuffed up and cracked. And I was like, oh, fuck. Fuck.

Was this me? I was thinking back because he didn't send any like caption or anything with it. He just sent the picture of the bumper and goes, sorry, I thought you were Ben Shane. I was like, why you were texting me? I just typed in Ben, click the first one. And I was trying to send it to Ben Shane because I was trying to get security cam footage from the restaurant.

Well, you had me worried there for a second. It would line up because you were sliding that Hellcat around in the parking lot. So you're like, wow, I clipped someone else's car up against Ken's car and then

And now you got two cars to probably pay for. Yeah, I would have had to been really blacked out to not realize that I hit three vehicles. But yeah. How many beers did you have before that? Well, I think like a good way to figure out if someone did it here is you would look around the parking lot. And if anybody else's cars had a scratch in it or was messed up, then you could probably assume that that person did it.

So the reason I asked you and Alondra was because you and Alondra were the only people that drove your car, like, anywhere near my car. Fine, you caught us. We did it. Dude, it sounds like you still are convinced that they did do it. No, I just got to check all my bases, like, get it covered. Okay, don't you have, like, 100 cameras on that thing? Yeah, they weren't turned on. I just don't understand that. Nobody's got their cameras on, huh? Because the restaurant didn't either. It's weird because...

We, like, fart next to that thing and you get notified. Yeah. Ken, you don't miss much, but the one time. That's true. My safe space is not around here. Is that true? Where is your safe space? Yeah, how is that going for you? Typically the garage, but even then it's kind of, you never trust those roomies.

It's true. I keyed his car the other day. Speaking of fucked up cars. Speaking of. No, speaking of Ken, I literally just watched this for the first time and I need to address this. I would be so thankful if these guys lined up a speed dating thing like that. You have no idea. That would be like my dream come true for my friends to come pick me up. Tell me to bring a suit, not tell me why, and then be like, oh yeah, we lined up some of

the most smoke show of girls in this room we're gonna get you just drunk and you're going on a speed dating thing and you get to go out with one of them again well he got himself drunk but yeah we weren't we were actually trying to cut him off but he kept drinking then there was another guy there that was giving him shots and i was like you gotta quick give him shots we need him dialed dialed in here regardless i would be praising these guys but you just you i i feel like you you didn't

You didn't thank him well enough. Well, no, he didn't thank us at all, actually. I came into it assuming the worst because every other time they do something, it's like the exact opposite. They would have like total. You have valid concern there. But I think there's progress. Are you calling him out on all this shit right now? I'm not calling him out, but I'm just saying I would have made the best of that regardless of the situation they put me in. He did pretty good. He did pretty good. I will say you did.

you very well and i i laughed you did your job you should have seen it though so this didn't make the cut but ken like you know picks his girl which unfortunately didn't end up working out but all the girls at the end like go up and like they they were still like giving them hugs and stuff like they're still in i mean he still probably got like you know seven of them yeah he could probably give at least seven of them a call back you guys cut a lot of stuff out too

Well, Ken, it was an hour long. It could have been a full podcast, but also I don't know how appropriate it was. You guys were talking dirty. It was even more vulgar than anything you've ever heard out here. We got kids that watch this stuff, man. Yeah, it would have been too dirty for this podcast. It's flat out too dirty for YouTube. We had to put it on Corn Hub. I don't know about that. I just remember back when we quite literally recited sexy red lines on this podcast. It

It's got to be. That got cut. No, no, no, no, no. Sexy Red would sit there and be like, oh, this shit vulgar. Some of the stuff you were sending me on Snap, I was just like, dang, you guys are going to put this on YouTube? I don't know what you did to those women, Ken. Oh, my God. Because I'm pretty sure when they all got vetted, maybe they just lied in their interview process. But they were just...

good, holy women. And then something you bought... They got in front of you. Dude, they got out of you and they were just like... They were laying it all on the line. They were laying it all on the line. Everyone's got to have a slight untruth to make it... Buddy, you were telling everything but the truth. That was not anything. That dude was lying like a rug. I want to have two kids, six kids.

It's not like vodka water. Ken, so my question here. You gotta play the field. You can't just say the same thing every time. Ken, just like, you can't let him know what your next move is. Yeah. Which is what he is. He's a suspicious man. He's a mysterious man as well. But, Ken, so has your family said anything to you about it? No, they haven't watched that. Oh.

Really? You got to send that to Carolyn. I'm surprised Carolyn or anyone hasn't been like, like your cousin or Cody hasn't been like, yo, that was awesome. I try and keep my mom away from the internet as much as I can. I'm going to text her. I'm going to text her. I just heard a whoop. Yeah, Jake, did you just text her? Good, good, good. I'm just going to, then you should say, do you have room for 10 more people at Christmas?

All of them come to Christmas with Ken. Ken, if you were to bring, besides for the one that you picked, Olivia, if you were to bring one or two of them back to meet your mom, would you? Or were they all, would you only bring the one that you picked back? Was there a couple maybes? I think there were a couple contenders that I would bring to see my parents. The twins? Some other ones. Who was the other ones?

You know I'm bad with names. You know what you should do right now? You should message one of them. After this podcast, you'll go on your second date. We'll leave right after this. You should DM one of them right now. Yeah, Ken, you should take them jet skiing. Yeah. For right now? The water still isn't frozen. It's a little frozen. I'll loan you my jet skis. Or I guess you probably want to ride on yours. Yeah.

I just had no idea you loved jet skiing so much. I got to come up with some bullshit on the spot. I don't know. Do you know what that is? What was he going to say? I love packaging orders? Yeah, you're right. I mean, you probably could have just said, like, I love sitting on the back of my buddy's double-decker pontoon and drinking. Yeah.

That would have been true. We wouldn't have been like, yep, that's true. That's it. Yep, that's him. Honestly, they would have probably been like, that sounds like a lot of fun. That sounds great, actually. They might have gotten the wrong vibe. Like, this guy is way too extreme for me. Like, he's constantly skiing, constantly jet skiing. Like, I don't know if I'm going to be able to keep up with him. He broke his neck. Like...

I think that girl didn't believe you. No, I don't think she did. She was like, that's a bad joke. It was just awkward after that. She didn't even have much else to say after that. She didn't know you were built like that.

I think you did really, really good. No, you did. It was definitely like a gauntlet of dating thing. I would have felt uncomfortable in it, and I think you handled it really well, and you had some great responses to some of the questions. And it did get cut up to make it funnier. Of course. Or, you know, it all happened, but, like, you know, you only showed the...

Yeah. The funny, horrific parts. The highlight reel. You know? So, like, it did go a lot smoother probably than it appeared. But, yeah, I don't know. I think Ken walked out of there with a lot more confidence. Don't you think, Ken? Yeah. He walked out of there, like, I feel like when we do up the second version, you know, like when we do V2 of that. When is that, next week? I think he's going to be ready. It's a whole new venue for season two. Wow.

Yeah, we just got a new budget. They just hit us up. Yeah. FX or Fox. We're going. Yeah, yeah. We're doing the Bachelor. Ken's feeding, dating, but in paradise. Yeah, we just signed an eight-episode contract. Okay, I might be able to fuck with that. We're sending you to Albuquerque, New Mexico. No, no, that is not paradise.

Nope. There's a hotel there called Paradise. No way, Albuquerque. No way. No way. I think the next time that we do it, we just put them on an island. Ken's Island.

I like the sound of that. You know, we spend the entire budget of the show on buying the island. It'd be a pretty good investment, I'd say. Turn around and flip it. Actually, I'm pretty sure... He just has a bunch of jet skis there. I'm 99% sure when you buy an island, you never make money on it. Is that true?

Yeah. I mean, no. What do you know about islands? It seems like something like... I'm pretty sure when Mr. Beast bought the island for the video, he sold it again after the video was done and obviously sold it for less. Oh, well, we should just pick up a slightly used island. So you think that island market is...

is going down. All the other real estate in the world is going up, but islands, down. 100% of the time. It's like when you build a house on an island and then you try to sell it, it's really hard to sell. I like that, but it's like on an island. Fairly inconvenient. Yeah.

I guess owning the island is different. Sorry, I didn't mean to sidetrack you guys. I just don't think the island market is good. Damn, dude. All right. Mike came bullish on island market, I guess. Yeah, but he just pulls out a chart that's like house marketing up, island marketing down. I'm like, damn, okay. House market goes down, though. Island market goes up. Yeah. Are we going to go into the other car accident that happened or no? Yeah. Can we please? Yeah, we have to. What happened? I was afraid. I was afraid.

I haven't told anyone. Ryan, I guess, knows because he was there when you called. Oh, so you don't even know? No. Oh, wow. Well, Jake knows because your car's at his house. CJ told me because I told him my car. Okay, so I'm the only one that doesn't know. I just figured you'd get filled in. So anyway, it's drop day. I was working all day. It was Thanksgiving. We finally get a chance to watch the video all together, and at that point, it was about 9 o'clock.

Anyway, I was just like in a hurry to get to town, but I still had a bunch of stuff to do. I was going to get to town. I was going to work. So I'm like, okay, I got all these pics on my phone. I'm just going to start firing them onto Snapchat and Instagram, all the swipe ups, whatever. I was just like not thinking about driving. I was hauling ass and 100% my fault, dude. 100% my fault. And I come up to the corner and I like look up and I'm like,

In the left lane. Like, just... The oncoming lane. Just, yeah. Oh, shit. Almost hitting the curb. So, I'm used to my Subaru being on rails. You know, when I'm, like, turning, like, it's wide. You've got to not be used to almost hitting the left...

left side of the road. Shocking. You've done that already with your old Subaru. And your BMW. And your BMW. No, you hit that curb right there. I did do that in my BMW. You've curbed a lot of wheels. He didn't even curb them this time. I do the classic thing where you look up and you're like, whoa! And I swing it to the right thinking I'm just going to snap back into the other lane and

Hit the brakes and oh gosh, that was scary. But no, I skirted it, hit the brakes and just full slide, full slide, full slide. Slid all the way across to the other curb. Blow my suspension out. Blow the wheels out. All four wheels are blowed out. What? Bro, the bumpers under the car. On your Subie? Yeah. No!

Yeah, it's bad. It's so bad, dude. Your hood is spidered, too, by that. The hood is... Yeah, so it's like... I mean, I'll preface. I'm going to fix it, of course. I'm going to fix my baby. I ordered new wheels already and stuff like that. But yeah, just slid up onto the curb into the grass. Once I got on the grass, I was just sliding more and more and more.

Oh, my gosh. I was going like 55. You started to jump the curb. Yep. Skirted. Into that yard. Into the yard of that house. Yep. And then hit a green box. And that's where most of the damage came from. Dude, I'm glad you're okay. Did the airbag fall off? That's what I said, yeah. No, no, no. So, yeah, everyone's like, are you okay? I'm like, dude, like, I'm more than fine, but the car is not.

Every one of his rims in a certain spot looks like you were putting a tire on and you put a log through there, then put the tire on and slammed it on the ground and they just have big hoops in them. Like huge dents. I'd say the wheels is the least of the problem. Do you have a picture? I have a video here I'm trying to pull up. Front bumper, the side of it, the hood. How am I just hearing about this? I just didn't know. CJ had a good point. He was like, it's Mike's

Yeah, I didn't tell him. Well, I guess I haven't seen you guys, so that would make sense. Fucking expensive week here. What the hell is even that? What did you hit on the front? Like the curb. A tree. Oh, yeah. No, no. I found it was the green box. I was so rattled. What the hell is even that? It's so bad, dude. Yeah. So the rear bumper messed up? No, no. Oh, you hit it with the front bumper. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So bumper, side panel, hood, and maybe a little bit of your...

A wide body? Maybe a new headlight? A couple flares? Yeah, I guess I did. There's a lot of stuff under the car. Honestly, a lot. Under stuff is what's concerning. Jake actually, yeah, Jake told me, he goes like, I haven't seen it. Like, I went to Fargo right after that. But Jake's like, yeah, I saw it in the daylight. She's not looking good. You know, not totaled by any means. Comforting. Yeah, he's like, then he's like, all four rims are just done. And I was like, okay, I think I ordered a new wide body and rims. Now I just got to get, like,

Hood, bumper, lights. Luckily, I have my yellow hood, so I'll probably put that back on. But, yeah, dude, like, definitely going to fix it. But I was just, like, super bummed. You could repay me. I'm bummed, too, for you, Mike. I'm bummed for you, dude. I love that car. I think the worst part is, let's say it was, like, not that yellow color. I'd think about, like, repaying the whole car. But, I don't know.

part of it and if it was your bronco if it was your bronco it might have been more expensive but at least the parts were available that's what i'm worried about dude this is gonna be more expensive guaranteed i'm looking like the worst part is that it's either like duraflex bumpers which if you guys know that they come crumpled up in a box like not the move uh or like you get an oem bumper and then like bring it back to life that's like they don't i don't think they really have oem new stuff for that car

So, ah, yeah. You have to find one off like a one that was wrecked in the back and then repaint that. But yeah, no Subaru parts are expensive. And,

as well as like the evo and just all that they mark it up man they just do that's why i couldn't believe the wheels that i have on it which i really really like that's like custom offset fitment industry's brand of wheels they're like 800 bucks for four wheels i think that really truly is the least of my problems it's the easiest fix too one good thing that there wasn't another car coming okay so i wrecked my favorite car um

Seriously, though, as soon as it happened, even as it was happening, I just go, thank God there was no one coming. Just because I decided to whip my phone out and be distracted, and I really could have hurt myself more or hurt someone else. That's what...

It's a pretty good reason not to be on your phone. Yeah. What were you doing? Were you texting or what? I was picking a song. Might as well throw some music on. Playing Candy Crush. I think the worst part is I don't know who to call as far as like, who do I bring this card to and say like,

Yeah, you know, just like I need this back to life in the best way possible. And just like let them take care of it. Yeah, for the most part. I just want a good job. It's important on that car as a collector. I found it's easier.

Don't fix it. Keep riding on it. And then just crash it tomorrow. Yeah. That's what Cody does. Way cheaper. Bro, Cody's like, why would I fix it? I'm going to hit a deer next week. Yeah. Dude, every time I see his car, I'm like, dang, looking good. Comes to work the next day. It looks like a T-Rex just took a bite.

a bite out of the side. I'm like, bro, what happened? He's like, you're not going to believe it, dude. Just has this story that is borderline impossible. That's what happened. Damn, dude. It's a bummer. I'm sorry, Mike. When you sent me the video, at first I was like, damn, what an idiot. And then I saw the video and I could hear your voice and I was like, damn, I feel bad for my friend there. How rattled were you? So rattled that when it happened, I just look around immediately and I'm just like, I got to get out of here. Reverse.

Next thing you know, I'm like, let's say a quarter mile away. So I like start running back and I'm like, I lost my wide body flares. You know, grab those. Like leaving the license plate on the. Yeah. So I grabbed those and I'm just like trying to look around. Didn't bring my phone with me, which is dumb. And I'm like, what did I even hit? And there's like trees everywhere. I'm like, it had to have been one of those trees. Then I just went back there on my way here and it fully knocked out an internet box. Oh, really? Holy. Bad.

Ben's like, damn, I haven't had internet all weekend. You know what I love? That happens all the time around here, especially in the winter. So the RVIG, the internet company around here, they're probably like, jeez. It wasn't even icy. Yeah, I know. Mike's driven in the ditch.

More times than anyone else I know. You've gotten every single vehicle you've ever owned stuck in the ditch at some point. That is true. Multiple times. Besides the Bronco, yeah. Is that good on the Bronco or bad on you? The man needs to start driving off-road vehicles because he's got a plan to go in the ditch. Man.

The man's just got to stay on the road. I'm not going to do this, but I should just have an off-road rally Subaru, and I'd be fine. We already got one of those. Maybe when we finish ours, you could just line it up. Then you can run it into curbs. Maybe. We'll see, actually. I don't know. So, speaking of... Even though that, unfortunately, had to be redacted, is there anything else that happened that night that you feel comfortable talking about? Oh, yeah. Like getting punched in the face? Yeah.

All right, do you want to start this little segment here? We're going to go on with you two. Yeah, should we separate you? No, we're good. Ken, you want to switch spots with Mike just to make sure there's no more physical altercations? Well, Jake's going to need the safe place. He's the one getting assaulted. Well, I don't know if Jake is in the right here.

No. I don't know if Jake deserves to be protected here. I have one coming back. Come on. Did I say what happened? Get to the story. Well, Jake hooked up with Micah's ex-girlfriend. Jake then told Micah, and then Micah punched him in the face.

That is the very short version of it. That's rightfully so. That's how Jake tells the story when he tells people. On paper? Yeah. But no, this is all premeditated with the both of us. You planned on having that, huh? I didn't plan on anything. You told him to. You planned on it? No, I didn't plan on it. Hold on, though.

Back up. He was very nervous to tell me that information. Very nervous. I think so. But then you told me he called you and you're like, do you think he's going to care? And you're like, I don't know. Maybe. So Jake, after it happened, Jake called me. It was like, dude, I got to get this off my chest. I hooked up with Mike's girlfriend last night. Ex-girlfriend. Oh, man. Do you think he's going to be mad? And I laugh and I go.

man, dude, you got no boundaries, do you? Dude, I was talking to Mike. I'm like, we're four-time champions now. I wanted to get you a trophy, bro. You got three on his belt on me. Four feet, dude? Yeah. And I go, to answer your question, though, no, he won't be mad, dude. Mike never gets mad, and I think it's water under the fridge. He's not going to be mad. And then you called me a couple days later and go, bro, dude.

Mike and he punched me in the face and I was like no way dude I'm not gonna lie when I told him I was just stunned at what happened we were just like looking at each other boom no that's not I mean that's not

You have every right to be mad, Mike. I know, I'm with you, dog. Then Jake gets punched. I'd be mad, too. For the sake of the story, I wish that would have been... There would have been no words exchanged. I'd just punch. But then later on, you're like, you're seriously not mad? And we were hanging, we were drinking, we were, like, just hanging out all night. And then it'd be like, dude, we'll, like...

do you like not want to like punch me right now? Like, are you not mad? And then I'll be like, I mean, I'd punch you, but like not because of that, but it would be fun. And you're like, all right, how about, you know, just one of those like moments where he's like, how about you punch me in the face? We'll call it even. And then I'm like, let's do it.

I've never punched anybody in the face before. Let's try it out. Feel good? So then you're like, well, don't make it like a light punch either. You know, punch me. Like do it right. Yeah. Easily the hardest I've ever punched anyone. Also the only time I have as far as I remember, but can make connection to those big ass cheekbones you got there. Yeah. Right on the cheek. Yeah. Right there. You went for kind of the knockout. The next morning I woke up and I go, why is my, why is my jar?

it's so sore and like, yeah. Oh yeah. And granted, like we were very larry at the time. So I was like trying to just reconnect the dots and I go, Oh yeah. Mike punched me in the face last night. And then Jake's pissed. He's like, what the fuck? Yeah. I'm going to punch him back. Yeah. You go and beat his ass. He just forgot about everything. Yeah.

Mike Tirico here with some of the 2024 Team USA athletes. What's your message for the team of tomorrow? To young athletes, never forget why you started doing it in the first place. You have to pursue something that you're passionate about. Win, lose, or draw, I'm always going to be the one having a smile on my face. Finding joy in why you do it keeps you doing it.

Be authentic, be you, and have fun. Joy is powering Team USA during the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Comcast is proud to be bringing that inspiration home for the team of tomorrow. Now that you're even, like, I don't know if we're even. Does that open the door again? I'd say you're even. Honestly, like, that was some water under the bridge, you know. Squashed the beef once again.

Four-time champions, huh? Yeah, we got that dogs. Dude, how many rings do Jordan and Pippen have? You guys are freaking... Who's that? That's what they're going to talk about in the local bar scene. Championship duos. It's like Tom Brady and Gronk and... Mike and Jake. Well, I mean, at least there's not that... Yeah, I mean, it's pretty... No line to begin with. We really don't have a line here. That's why it's like...

After he told me if our friendship is like here, it went down to here and then back up to there. Yeah. It's unfazed. That's good. Yeah, that's good. It's not a true friendship. And Ben, you know me well. I don't get mad. That's why I was so surprised when Jake was like, dude, he punched me in the face. I was like, what? I don't think Mike would ever get physical. Like no matter how mad you are. You're right about that too. Like I,

I don't think I would ever get physical. Physically, you'd just be like, you're an idiot and just walk away. Oh, yeah, or I might have the meanest words ever that I can conjure up. That's about it. Might be worse. Yeah, might be worse. Might be worse. Might go back to his bullying. I just started just bullying the shit out of Jake. Yeah.

It is nice that it's over now. Yeah, yeah. The air is clear. Good stuff. So I was thinking about this the other day, and I keep forgetting to bring it up on the podcast with you. I'm having a hard time comprehending still what was going through your head to think that this was a good idea, so I'd love to pick your brain at it. So like six years ago, we were at this—

We were invited to go to this concert from our friend Big Reno. He had us on as like the promoters basically, right? Shout out Big Reno. So he has us on, on stage, and he goes, yo, I'm going to hype up the crowd, and I want you guys to come on stage and just be like, just like be just partying with me. Maybe we'll shotgun a beer and just be like, let's go see boys. And then you guys just go off, right? Sean Kingston was there. Yeah, yeah, that sounds lit. Okay, we can do that. Mm-hmm.

Well, Jake buys $10,000 in fake money. No, 50K. Oh, 50K. 50K is five bands. He had a duffel bag. He had a duffel bag. Just like a wad of cash. And he bought two of them. He didn't pay 10K for this fake money. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it was like 20 bucks on Amazon. It was fake 50 grand, right? Oh, my God. And he brings it with out on stage. It looks real. It's a prop. And he goes...

The crowd actually got hyped up then. Holds it up to the crowd and everyone's like, ah! And he just lobs it out into the crowd, one of them. You just see hands going up. Someone grabs it and he's like pointing at everyone else and everyone's like, oh, they're over here.

It was like the type, you know, when you catch a home run ball, but like someone else catches it too. And they're like literally holding on. Yeah. Probably like fighting down to the ground. It started like a literal riot. Normally someone would make it rain and like throw all the money. But since it's fake, you just threw one big wad. So only one person was disappointed. Yeah.

Smart, honestly. So Jake chucks these two bricks out, right? We don't know who gets them or where they go, but we go back on and we're like, man, that was crazy, dude. I bet they think that was real. I can't imagine how disappointed those people were to find out that it was like one fake bill on the top, a bunch of blanks, and then one on the bottom, right? Well, after the show...

One of our friends comes up to us and goes, check it out. I got the bottom cash. How funny was that? I was pretty bummed to find out that it was fake, but still pretty stoked to find out or like still catch it. And then another friend of ours comes up. Perfect. Perfect. Two friends in this massive crowd of people, right?

And we were like, what are the odds? We were like, everyone else that didn't catch them thinks that Jake just drove 50. We looked way cooler up on stage. Jake looked the coolest. He was like 19 years old. I remember that happening and being moderately adamant that Jake could not throw out fake money.

at this thing. We did it, baby. And then you did it. And I was like, this is so dumb. And then our friends came up with the money and then it was all cool. It was like, we were way cooler. I go, this is like, why do I even say anything? It always works out fucking perfect for this guy. So what, yeah. Which part did you want me to like riddle apart? Cause that whole story was flawless. It went to plan. Like I had the goggles on that, like I could type words. Remember? Yeah. And you got to bring those back. You should make those.

I should, actually. That would be a solid move. I guess I just look back at it like, man, you could have literally started a literal riot. Yeah, that was the plan to hype up the crowd, right? We were there to be hype guys. The more people are going nuts, we did our jobs. But let's say we just went out there and they're like, who the frick are those guys? We did not want that. I can't believe anybody knew who... We had like...

80 000 subscribers at that point well you come out holding 50 racks that's true it don't matter makes sense okay yeah it is funny like we legit had like maybe 150 000 subscribers or maybe 300 i don't know around there and just like that and and had you not done that it would have gone exactly how we thought it was gonna go we were pretty uncomfortable there besides for that part i was like what are we doing up here i can't dance i can't

I know. We're just standing up here trying to be hype guys. We're just YouTubers that make bags and we throw 50K into the crowd. And it probably looked like that. Yeah, at least we made it. That's true. That's true. And admittedly, I'd like to throw just Justin under the bus, but me too. Justin and I are dressed like we're going to confirmation, dude.

We look like such fucking lamos. Button up. I'm sorry. Yeah, Justin was wearing like a Henley button up. I had some dumb shirt on too, but like, man, I look so lame. I'm not going to lie. I felt like I was in my element. Me and Mike were wearing our ballsy shirts. Yeah, that was sick. And I was wearing LED glasses. Yeah, you were sick. My favorite part then after was like, Reno's like, yo, you guys like...

come on, meet Sean Kingston. Like for sure, this is going to be sick. And then we like go into this small, like, you know, the back. It was a locker room. It was a locker room. And he's just like, yeah, these, you know, these motherfuckers do YouTube. And then Sean Kingston's like, hey, yeah, nice. Could have literally popped up that picture too. I will, dude. Look at us, dude. Just got this crusty ass photo. Me with,

With my arm on Sean Kingston's shoulder. Wait, you have that? Yeah, on Instagram. He posted it. People forget I met Sean Kingston. Sean Kingston was really nice. Just the shittiest fucking picture. And he could have cared less about this. Can I please see that? Holy shit. Who's that guy? He kind of looks the same. Mike. That's when I couldn't grow a beard. No, I don't know. You got it.

That's all I got to say is when I couldn't grow a beard, I looked dumb. Okay, to be fair, Ben, you weren't dressed that stylish either. At least you had a long body tee on. Oh, fucking where's Waldo?

There's actually a slight little backstory to that too. The way we got to meet Jesse and Kyle from NELC was... I don't know. They were in the area doing a prank or something and Big Reno met them and he asked them to do exactly what he asked us to do a year or two prior. So they were there hyping that up. That's when we met them. And then it's just funny that the next year or two after, he's like...

Kyle and Jesse did it. I want you guys to do it now. Let's keep it local. And we asked Jesse how it was to do it. He's like, dude, it was pretty awkward. I was up there trying to hype everyone up, but I didn't have any talent. At the time, he's like, I do pranks. So he's like, let's go. Let's go. That's where that came from. That's right. Oh, man. Jacob. Hey, Ryan. Still being hard on your cars over there.

Yeah, of course I am. That's like what I'm basically just trying to do at this point. It is like, I want to actually be a good driver. It's like,

Like I want to try to switch it up. No, no. I want to be like a good race car driver. No, I want to be like, yeah, I want to be a wheel man. Always wanted to be a wheel man. Yeah. But now that is doing it. Ever been your dream. I know I've always wanted to, and I've always just wanted everything up. But just lately, I just feel like I got it in me. This thing got a drift stick. Right. It's working out. It's working out.

Like so far, haven't crashed yet, you know? I like that. So far, haven't crashed yet. You've got your Mustang. You plan for it to be a drift Mustang. But once you got the drift stick installed, one of the many things that you're going to be doing to it, you came over. I've ridden with you a million times in a million different vehicles. I've never had a ride like that with you. It was good, right? You were driving like we were on a closed track and your car wouldn't break. Like it was insane. I just couldn't crash. That's like what I'm trying to do. Like once I got this and I instantly crashed it, I'm just like...

All right. Well, I got that out of the way. There's my crash, you know? Perfect. So I like got all the parts that I need to build like an actual, like we're going to cage this thing, put a seat in it. And like, I want to like my ultimate end goal is they do like the 10 K at the drift track in Saban. I want to win the 10 K. That's like what I want to do. He wants to win. He's going to be practicing around Dave's shop like we have for the last 15 years. Yeah. But I'm going to like, I want to move everything out. And like, I want to,

I mean, back in the day, we never moved it. We just did it anyway. Right. See, that's the other thing, too. It could be there for like, okay, I can't hit that. You know, there's consequences. Exactly. None of the other drifters that are practicing on a track have a tractor that they could crash into. Yeah. Well, that is true. Okay. So, backstory. Every time that there was like snow and we were...

Or wasn't snow. Or wasn't snow. But it was like back in the day where like nobody even had their driver's license, but Jake had like a Saki, like an old side-by-side. Yeah. And we would go out to his dad's like compound for work and just drift around

like countless circles around the shed in the middle and it was basically surrounded with tractors on the outside and then like his shed and like a gas tank and stuff in the middle so we didn't have a choice but to like be pretty dialed i remember bringing your sister's boyfriend at the time for a ride and he had like the championship game coming up or whatever yeah that's right like don't crash and i remember just hucking it down this corner and i'm like

we're going to smash into this trailer. This is done. And it's like, he's on door side, right on the trailer. And we just barely missed it. And he's like, I'm good. Like, thanks for that.

How many cars have you destroyed in your life? I have a list right here. It's got to be insane. It's long. So I had that first Jeep, rolled that right in front of Ryan. Yep. Trying to be a wheel man. Yeah. Trying to be a wheel man. The story was I was plugging in my phone, but I straight up was just trying to do my thing. Buddy Mike. It was fine until you destroyed it with a skid steer. No, honestly, we can't say. Yes, you're right. It was totally fine. Like it's late enough in life. It was fine. And then it was cold. Freezing. Yeah. And we were just dumb. Yeah. You remember what I told you?

Spend all your money. You can make more. That was one of those moments. Okay, yeah. And the next car, Corvette. So there you go. Man, that was a real switch up. Jeep, Corvette, white Subaru, black Subaru, GeoTracker, Tahoe, Shaggin' Wagon. Remember that thing? GeoTracker? You totaled the Shaggin' Wagon? The Shaggin' Wagon?

We bent the axle. That was basically it. That was us, dude. We were jumping it over that little ledge. Yeah. Remember like the hubcap was flying by? That was fun. Yeah, we were drifting around. We could fit 10 deep in that thing. Yeah. And we're just checks and balancing here. There was two white Subarus in that vicinity. Yeah, there was two white Subarus in there. F-150, remember the sun, blew that up. Oh my gosh, with the hundred light bars on it. Yeah, that thing was awesome. How much did you spend on light bars on that truck?

Like $100 on Amazon. I mean, yeah. But they were bright. Like, it was, I think there was just enough of them. Because there was enough of them. Yeah. I love that. We called that truck the sun. The sun, yeah. The Illumina, the Edge, the Buick, Cody's Avenger, which obviously he probably destroyed harder than I did. You guys traded that car back and forth so many times. Yeah.

I needed a car. Then he's like, I need a snowmobile. And then the summer came around. I'm like, I don't need this car anymore. This is how it would go. Cody would go, uh, Oh, I want to get a snowmobile. Jake would say, okay, I'll buy your car for 10 grand. Great. Buys it for 10 grand beats the crap out of it. Cody goes, Oh, I need that car back. Buys for 12 grand. Yeah.

I'm a wheeler and dealer, bro. Cody goes, I want to buy a dirt bike. Jake's like, sweet, I'll buy it for six grand. Jake drives it for three months. Cody's like, oh, I really need a car again. Great, I'll sell it back to you for 14 grand. Sorry, bro. Dude really doesn't have any boundaries, huh? No boundaries, bro. I just got to do what's best for me once in a while, you know? You're making me feel bad now. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He's okay, he's driving a BMW now.

Then we have the Black Raptor, which I just sold. My white Mustang that we blew up, the Miata. And then orange Mustang, E350, Power Stroke, and then the Mustang I have now. That's pretty impressive, man. Do you know the average person has eight cars in their whole lifetime? I had that by 20. I was going to say, how many of you had now? I think it's 17. 17? One, two, three, four. Good job, Jake. Dude, don't stop breaking cars, I guess. Yeah. Don't. Don't.

Don't give up on your day job. Dude, I am going to be a wheel man. One day you guys are going to be like, he told us. He told us. I'd say you're a wheel man already. Yeah, you're a damn good driver. I don't know. I've lost my touch. I'll fully admit it. And it sucks. It sucks not being able to do what you used to. I even got the same car back that you used to be good at.

I just, I don't have the same. I will remember the first time we all got together and Ryan's cause so Ryan had his driver's license before everybody or no. This is the same night that Ken actually got his name. So I think Ryan had a vehicle. He could drift. Yeah. I met Ben and CJ basically through Ryan. Right. Is that how it worked? We met you with Cody. Yeah. We were at. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. And we ate pizza with Kalen, I think at Cody's house afterwards. Oh yeah. That's right. Yeah.

And Cody's dirt bike got stolen because he left it in the ditch. That's right. I remember that. For two weeks. Like, it was there for a substantial amount of time where we could have got it. And all of a sudden, one day, we're like, oh, man, it got stolen. Yeah, it wasn't even like a day, two days, two weeks. We left that. That's just flat out lazy, Cody. On the side of the road, dude. Cody. You asked for that. We found it on Facebook like a year later, too. Message the guy. You buy it back? It blew up.

I'm sure it did. It was worthless by the time they even stole it. It was already blowing up. No, I was going to say, like, it's kind of aggressive for you to want to win a competition because you did the same thing with your Banshee. You were like, yeah, I'm going to build this fast Banshee, and I'm going to win all these races, and then you didn't ever win. Oh, that's right. I forgot Jake had a losing curse. No, no, you had the losing curse, and then you turned it around because you put time in. You

You put some time in on the Banshee, riding it motor-wise, and then you start winning. I'm like, look at this. Yeah, because he throws his own fucking events so he can win. Hey, come to my events so I can win. But keep in mind, he was doing the same thing when he was losing, too.

He was throwing his own events and just losing the shit every time. I don't know what is worse. Something about saying you throw your own event and still lose seems worse than throwing your event and winning. Has anybody ever accused you of that, being like, you throw this event and you curve the rules? Yeah, all the time. Especially when there's a pot. You put up a pot, and then you win it, and you get the big check. It's what it do, baby. It's made out to you, signed by you.

Gotta start somewhere, you know what I'm saying? But I think the fact that you lost so many times and also that a lot of guys brought out banshees that maybe could have won. It wasn't like you stacked it against and you were like, I'm the only guy that can have an extended swing arm. Right. And now he's going to start throwing drift events. No, I'm not going to throw them. He's going to invite people with non-drift cars though. They're at a total disadvantage. Jake's just going to like,

Corner off cone off a couple streets around the area is like a most of the drift I'm gonna be the dog though. So how we doing over there see? Yeah, you look like you this mic has been like Trying to tighten it and then it just fell off you got to use the adapter and then yes Talk to why yeah, there you go

And then that's got to go down. Now we're talking. Yeah. And then now spin the mic. You get that thing dialed on. And then my only advice. Nope. Nope. You're spinning it on the, the, the audio port. Yeah. My only advice would be to not touch that after you get it on. I love it. It's hard not to do this. Nope. There we go. There we go. Nice. If you have something good, that's good. Cause I do too. So we can keep this rolling. You go first. Sweet. Let's do it. I have a really good Jake driving story. Oh God. So, uh,

We asked my parents if we could use their Yukon to go down to X Games, which is like four hours away. So we all pile in my mom's car and

And Jake, being Jake, goes, yo, how fast do you think we can get this thing going? Seven of us loaded up in that rig, dude. There's something that you just can't replicate being that dumb. And 16, mainly. They only max out at like 100, though. Yeah, I think it does like 105 downhill. Which is kind of probably what we said. We're like, probably 100, dude. I don't know. So sure enough, Jake pops...

Pops it out at 100 or whatever it does. Jake posts a Snapchat of how fast we were going. Hands back to the whole crew. And my dad just calls me and goes, turn around right now.

I was like, why? I saw Jake is speeding in mom's car going 100. That is incredibly reckless and disrespectful. Turn around right now. And we had to turn that thing around and come home. That was after we had already checked into the hotel. And we were at the U.S. Bank. And we were like, ah.

Damn it. That is a moment where I had my tail between my legs. Jake was like, I'm sorry, guys. Literally, I'm like, I messed up. It was tough because none of us knew what to say. We were a little, being young and reckless that we were, we were a little upset that they were telling us to come home. We were a little upset at Jake for going that fast. But then he's like, dude, you guys should have come home. You were egging him on. Yeah, 100%. Yeah, we had to go home. You're right in that middle age of...

Like childhood, teenagerhood, where you think you can do whatever you want, but you can't. And it sucks when someone tells you you can't do it. And so we had a hard time. Yeah.

We can do it now. We can do it now. But now we're smart enough not to, thank God. Yeah, now Jake's like, yo, should I go 100? And everyone's like, no. Sitting in the back like, no, don't do that. It's funny, right before I came here, I texted Ryan. I was on the way back from Thanksgiving with my mom, and we had a long straightaway. I'm like,

I've never topped out my Raptor. Let's see how fast they can go. We're doing 141 in my Raptor. My mom was loving it. She's like, I didn't think a pickup can go this fast. How are you going 141 on a pickup? It's a supercharged. That's amazing. Yeah, it's, well, so when they obviously tune them, it's got like no speed limiter or anything. And I was literally just holding it to the wood. I'm like, I'm not letting off till this thing stops. 141. I bet that thing was screaming. Yeah, it sounded good. I bet it did. Yeah, we can do it sometime. All right.

I cleaned it up. I'll take your word for it. We really do have...

It's Saturday and all the boys are just hanging out, having fun. We haven't seen each other for a while. Dude, I think almost all of us have been on a pretty good health kick lately. I don't think we've ever done that. Taking ice baths, taking saunas, going to the gym. We're all saying to each other, I think this is the first time we all are trying to take care of ourselves. Yeah, I've kind of been forced to. Same, honestly. I'm in the middle of the table here and Jake, the people he just talked about, I do not belong in that group.

that group. I don't, dude. I don't. We're in our own group. For real, though, I agree with you. The ice baths have been insane. You guys doing those, the saunas, a little bit of working out. Better diet. As we're drinking right now? We don't drink that much anymore. At least I don't. My problem is it's been two

two to three beers a night around the shop. Gavin will be like, Hey man, have a beer. It's like six o'clock, you know, got an hour left to work. And I'm like, yeah, I'll have one. And then I have one hanging out when I go. And then one, when I get home with dinner, I'm like, damn, sorry. I'm three, three Coors lights at night. That ain't good for a guy. But I

But I have been taking ice baths to offset it, so. I don't know if that exactly works. I don't think it works at all. But I just, like, I got to, like, I don't know. I'm a full believer in it now because, like, I. Dude, do you hear what you just said? I don't think it works at all. No, I'm saying, like, a full believer. No, just for, like, the health side. Like, I've been in such a better mood. And, like, I feel like interacting with, like, you guys, too. And, like, Cody and, like.

I've just been laughing and having so much fun lately, and I think it's good. I think it's great. Well, you've been really stepping up the baths, too. You haven't even just done them in, like, a normal tub. You've been jumping in the lake. You guys have to come do it with me. I will tell you what. It is, like, next level. Dude, this sucks. Brutal, man. I took one yesterday in the lake. I saw that. So it's, like, 32 degrees because the lake should be frozen, but it was windy. So it was, you know, wasn't able to freeze over.

Brutal pain. Did your muscles start pulsing? Bro, it started like seeing a hallway. Yeah, really? It's worse going in the lake, though, because you've got to walk out there. You can't just hop in. Yeah. But, dude, some rocks and weeds and dirt and stuff. Your guys' shivers afterwards are just unparalleled. I mean, you guys, when you're cold, you shiver. But when you're that cold, you're just like... I can't even do it, but just like...

like your teeth are going to break because you're shivering so hard. I feel like we should do it. All of us. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. But can you do it? Let's do it. No. Why not? Ken, why would Ken make himself uncomfortable? That was like a hard. Yeah. I hate ice baths, but then you got me fired up. I'm like, yeah, let's do it. Ken. No way. Let's,

Let's do it together. Come on, Ken. It'll be fun. I think I'd do it one time and then be like, fuck this. That's all we need. That's all we need. We're just asking for this one time. Three minutes. Yeah, we'll go cut a hole tomorrow in the lake. We'll do it tomorrow in the light. Are we at least filming it? Sure. Oh, is that all you care about now? Just for fun, Ken. I'm leaving the camera at home just because of that comment. I was going to have it be a little bit, but no.

Dude, it is funny how much of like a social trend ice baths are. Yeah. How does that happen, man? That's so interesting. Like everyone just starts talking about it, but like, it's not like it's some new technology or no, it's the most simplest form of like, you know, does probably date way back. I literally have like gained friends because of it. It's like, Oh, you do that. So we like start bonding over that. And then it's just something that like, it literally is like a cult. Dude.

Dude, so I came across this video of this guy. He lives in the coldest city in the world. What is it, Colorado, Minnesota? No, no. It was kind of near Russia or maybe it was in Russia. It was one of those areas. He takes an ice bath every morning and they have this hole cut open or whatever, but it's icing over before they can even get in. It's crazy, crazy. What? He does it every day and then when he gets out, it's like,

You know, it's like life or death type. It's so cold. He has to have like mittens on all this. But yeah, anyways. Because his skin would freeze in like seconds. Yeah, it was interesting. You feel like you're tolerant to the cold now? Absolutely. But if you like miss a day or two, you're right back to where you were. You got to stay consistent. Like I remember like me and Cody didn't do it for a week and we went in the lake and we look at each other and we're like, this is F.

Like it was painful. You feel like you're going to pass out. Why do you guys think it's become such a trend? Obviously everyone's talking about it and now everyone's like, like how many, how many new businesses have started up that are selling ice baths, you know? And there's such a wide range of it from like, I'm trying to like most basic, just like inflatable to like a $10,000 tub that has like a filtration and like, you know, yeah. I literally think it's no different than like any trend that starts as like a tick tock.

It just blows up. People start doing it. That's why I started it. I'm like, oh, it seems healthy. I think like health is, is kind of a trend in itself right now. Yeah. Yeah. People nowadays are much more health conscious. Like got whoop bands. Like everyone like actually values their, it seems like they value their health a lot more and like they care about what they're eating and,

I don't know. It just seems like it's just not a bad thing. No, it's not, but it's just maybe people are, it's becoming more popular to be healthy. I think more people that are, you know, have a lot of pull are talking about it and doing that too socially. Cause I think it's cool. Yeah. And so now everyone wants to try it, but that's where I was going with that story with the coldest city. This guy had been doing it for like 40 years. So it's like way before it was a trend, you know, and he does it every day at Thanksgiving. We were talking about that with my grandparents and,

uh in the nursing home and my grandma was like oh if you get cold you'll get sick yeah and i was like that's such an interesting thought that if you were to go outside without a jacket normally people would be like you're gonna get catch a cold i don't think that's how you get sick though no this is gonna like come out when they're like oh cigarettes are good for you you know i don't think that'll ever come out no no that was back in the 60s and like cigarettes are good for you and then now this is gonna come out and be like yeah people's

It's bad for you because it raises your heart rate. You really have to be careful. It's bad for your balls. You have to be careful with your claims. That's why he quit jerking off. It wasn't by choice. It was out of demand. Can we get over this? I don't jerk it. Come on. You still don't? No. Why would he do this? You got my ex-girlfriend. I walked into that. Okay. No. Can we get over this? The fact that I don't jerk off.

As long as you're not jerking off, I'm not getting over it. What's the big deal? Jay, you talked about it more than anyone I know. Jerking it? You just brought it up. No, I didn't. Yeah, we get it. The world knows you don't jerk, man. Dude, shout out to those people that had my back still, dude. I'm not... Still just don't understand that one. Yeah, you never will, but... You got to join his little gang. Yeah, dude. Little cum cult. It's fine. Sorry. You know who did have my back? Oh my gosh. Never mind.

You're sick. All right, I got something to do. Mike's trying to change the subject real quick. He pulls up a video of it. He's like, I was there. It's either third or fourth.

You guys really are close. Yeah, there are no boundaries. Okay, CJ, so speaking of what you said with the ice bath thing, how many businesses are coming up about it and making inflatables, just trying to capitalize. Smart, honestly. It's very smart. But now it's saturated because I'm getting ads from all over the place. And that's, I think, the problem that I'm going to bring up here with this is that it's so saturated and it just gets more saturated until something bad happens. Not saying that. So you guys remember the bikes? Yes.

I'm trying to think of the name. Lime scooters, whatever, bird scooters, and there's also the rideshare bikes. So in China, that trend hit so hard that everyone was like, they made millions of bikes and then they put them in the city and there were so many bikes and there were so many bikes getting broken that...

They would just get broke and they didn't know what to do with them, so they just make bike graveyards. This is one of many bike graveyards in China. You make all those bikes and then electric scooters come out? There's like a million bikes in this graveyard. It just blew my mind. Yeah, they said it was part of a trend. So now, guess what? Business is booming. Fucking scrap.

Scrap's always been booming, I swear, man. Can you imagine a scrap company getting a hold of all these? They'd be like, let's go. Dude, give you a couple hundred bucks. Couldn't believe it. I saw the same thing and thought it was...

extremely shocking because it is. But also, if this was cars, imagine how much space it would take. Take away the state of New fucking Mexico. There's got to be a million bikes. Did they outlaw Lime scooters? I haven't seen them lately. They were everywhere. Yeah, they kind of died off. And so you guys have experienced it here in the States. The scooters kind of just get mangled and they just get chucked on the side of the curb. And so the broken ones are just sitting there like the city officials or someone

has to go remove them. They're just littered all over the place. And they don't care about them. They don't have to pay for them. They go chuck them into a graveyard. It just blows my mind. My first lime experience was horrible. It was with you guys in Washington. We were having so much fun, dude. No, don't you remember? Yes, I remember. You crashed. Why was it so bad? Oh, you crashed or that Mike crashed? No, I dropped off a curb. So you know how sidewalks go down and then they come back up? I went down and I thought there was a get back on. He just...

Don't do, I hit the thing and just straight cartwheel, like just straight ass over tea kettle on the bars. A scooter is a hard thing to crash on. There's no way in that position. You're so vulnerable.

Like a skateboard, you're kind of sideways. You got your feet underneath you. But in a scooter, you're like lined up square with your hands right here. It doesn't even make any sense. You're driving to a wall. No freaking wind in there. If you crash a scooter, you're just an idiot. The Lime Scooters probably claimed a lot of bodies. Yeah. I'd imagine a lot of people who shouldn't be on a scooter were getting on a scooter. That's another thing, too. You know, it's like they're there for a business trip. They're like, well, this is what we're taking over to the convention center. And then you hop on and...

A dude who hasn't ridden a bike or a scooter in like 20 years. Or just flat out isn't that, you know, doesn't have the skill for it. And those things go pretty fast, you know, so it'd be easy to just wipe. Like what, 15 probably? Yeah, I mean, that's pretty fast. Fast thing you can run on concrete. Yeah, you're not built for it either. Because that's the thing. I mean, we're fairly used to and probably many people listen are riding things. You know, whether it be a dirt bike or something powerful that they're in control of. Yeah.

You throw someone who lives in New York who hasn't even driven in years and you throw them on a scooter. Well, it's also somebody who has no hand-eye coordination between using your wrist to like go. That's a little whiskey throttle. Yeah.

Did we just subtly talk about shit on Jake this whole time about not being coordinated? We know him now. No, I wasn't saying that. He just did it because he was pushing it too far. They should have put quad thumbs on him. That's why he messed up. He wasn't used to the twist throttle. That's true. Some actually do. That makes sense. So people don't whiskey throttle. Yeah, for the special people. I usually get those ones. Dude, you guys got any major...

Like, it's going to be 2025. That's kind of crazy. You got any major goals? No, let's not. I mean, it's going to one day. You're right. It is weird to think that it's going to be 2024, though. Do we have any what, though? Like, goals. Like, have you guys, like, thought about, like, okay, when this year hits, I want to achieve this.

Like, yeah, I guess I have that every single year, but I try and be as like realistic with it as possible. Not just like the basic ass, like work out more. And like, you know, the, the things that are so easy to quit, but as far as like growth for, you know, business wise or more like things that we can actually make a difference of our control. Yeah. Controllable big thing. And no, but I did start a list of,

of just like bucket list things that i want to do i think we're so lucky to be in this position of like the bigger that we can dream you know the more we can do because it's our line of work as long as we just make it entertaining yeah and uh you know make a good video out of it i felt like you know the the videos have gotten bigger and bigger and bigger

But he gets to a point where I even think like, man, where do we go from here? Like, how do these continue to go? So I've just tried to like, continue to think of like the places that I've,

Wanted to go And the things That I've wanted to do there That would just be A bucket list thing And one day Hopefully we can make it happen And bring the entire squad along And Yeah Make a video out of it So I've just like I have like a list Of a bunch of different things I'll read a couple of them off Like drive 150 Down the Audubon In Germany Yeah that'd be sick

Only 150, though? I'd imagine being like an R8 or something if you're going to be in Germany. You can do that out here. Yeah. Yeah, throw out of it. Jake put that in his Raptor on his way here. Come on, let's have a better goal than that. Hey, dude.

All right. Let's do 200. Number one. Stupid. Let's just keep dreaming, buddy. Yeah. Let's just do something different. Skydive with an R6. That's solid. Get wicked wine drunk on a wine tour in France. Solid. I could see that. Drink beer at a pub in Chicago on St. Paddy's Day. That's good. Ben's like, I want a black one.

Go dog sledding in Alaska. We're learning Ben's 2024 goals involve a lot of traveling. Love that. Yeah, that is sweet. I'd love to go to Alaska with you guys. Love to go to Europe. Cam, what was your bucket list item that you wanted to do in the Fargo Inc thing? Go to Antarctica. Yeah, we're going to buy Ken a one-way trip and send him with a GoPro. One GoPro and a stick. Well, they have like cruise ships that go to Antarctica. Yeah.

They do little day trip excursion things. We'll meet you in the middle. He'll be laying up on a beach chair with a little pina colada. That sounds weird doing that in Antarctica, but I can picture it. It's different. Ken, I would love to just watch you third person and when I say it like that, when you go and do your thing without any of the guys around, what are you doing? Let's say you're going to Europe. I would love to just follow you.

He would love to know what he's doing in Europe, wouldn't he? Yeah, with your girlfriend? Your ex-girlfriend? My ex-girlfriend? What? Ken! There's a trickle down everything, dude. There's some more beef going on. We have a squatter out here. She can attest, we did nothing. That's what they all say. That's what they all say until the truth comes out. Until you find out the kid's not yours. Ken, going into having goals for the next year, do you have any goals about...

You know, maybe quitting anything you've been doing? Vaping. No, I really don't. Ken's not trying to change shit as he cracks another beer. I like the way I am. Well, I have something for you. An early Christmas gift. I can already tell you no. He's like, don't even want it, brother. You don't want the gift? I, like, put a lot of time and thought into this. All right, what's this gift? Whoa. It's a box. This suspense is actually killing me. What is this? Like,

is an antique enema kit from 1920. German, actually. Used. Oh. Damn. So the reason, Ken, that you're receiving this gift is there was an old strategy when you maybe caught your kid smoking cigarettes or something like that. You would make him smoke a pack.

And when he smoked a pack of cigarettes- - You were trying to stop him from doing. - Exactly, you were trying to make him stop because he would overdose on the thing and it wouldn't be fun anymore. And then I did further research and I figured out that in the early 1700s, there used to be tobacco enema and it would actually reduce your cravings for tobacco. So I figured, you know, modern times, you can equip your vape to that.

And that enema kit. He's going to start puffing up his ass. He's going to get a real buzz. He's going to start blowing smoke up his own ass. Oh, my gosh. Can we see the packaging, please? It is literally falling apart as I touch it. Yeah, it's had a lot of use, Ken. It's been up a lot of anuses. I mean, it's 103 years old. It was $20, but because it broke when she was packaging it, we got it for free. Ken touched it. Can we see the box, please?

It came with the box, right? Oh, yep. Here we go. I'm confused where you were going with that, Ryan. Dude, what? Oh.

That's gross, man. First of all, that was an antique from 1920 Germany. It's the Ingram Perfect Enema. That's nice. I actually just heard about these. It's from Native Americans. Ryan, I didn't know where you were going with that. You were like, you know, to stop someone from doing something, you really do it hard at the start. I text Ryan before this podcast, and I'm like, anything I should prepare for? He's like, oh, just think of some stuff you want to talk about. And I got Ken a gift.

Not expecting this at all. Well, yeah. So the tobacco animals were really big in the 1700s. That's to stop you from smoking? I think it was also for when you were insane. Oh, they thought like, oh, let's stick something up his ass. That'll clear him up. Yep. Someone's going nuts, fucking stick something up their ass. That'll calm him down.

That calms me down. Imagine that. You're freaking out. Someone comes and they hold you down, shoves them in your ass. He's going crazier. Get him in the institution.

Oh my gosh. It was a medical treatment employed by European physicians for a range of ailments. That thing lasted 100 years until Ken touched it for three seconds. It also broke that motherfucker. It would be a double whammy for Ken since he has belly aches. It does... That's actually... You're getting somewhere with it. It is used to treat gut pain and was often made to resuscitate victims of near drowning. Whoa.

Interesting. Yeah. Wow. So really odd thing, but I figured that by using it, it might help you quit. No.

Now he's just pissed off. Yeah. And he just wants to vape a little more. He's just stressed too, right? He just walked out. Dirty hands. Got a little bit of a hundred year old shit on him. I didn't even wash my hands. He puts it in his mouth. He's not touching that shit. You should have told me it was a pipe or something. And then after you go, just kidding. It's an enema kit from a hundred years ago. He's sucking on it.

Yeah, true story. The lady was going to charge us $20, and then it broke, so we got it for free. But I think that's the end that goes. You should send her a message and just say, still works great. Try it. She'll say, did I put all the pieces up my ass or just one of them? Yeah, it just goes. It's four pieces. Yeah.

You're going to get some nasty old disease. I like to think that it's sanitized, but I love how like, oh, it broke. No, like as soon as Ken touched it, it disintegrated. Well, Ken, is there anything that you didn't want? Nothing to do with Ken's ass. Once again, you guys have the worst gifts you can possibly give. You're just continuing the streak.

He's thinking about your health. He's trying every option at this point. Yeah, Ken. That's true. He's even going alternative natural with it. That's going to give you some kind of old-timey disease that nobody's had for like 60 years. Ken gets polio. Let's say it hadn't broke. I think the only way you can actually tell Ryan that you hate it is after you try it. Because of Ryan? Because of Ryan? Because of Ryan? Because of Ryan?

Then you have an excuse to get mad. But until then, no. What's the big deal, bro? I got polio. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. Beautiful gift, Ryan. Hey, good times with you, Jake, man. Dude, thank you. Do we have anything else? I feel like we're rolling. Yeah. I'm down to keep going. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. Fuck it. Look down there. Just kidding. No. We should keep going. You know why? Cody said something to me the other day that really struck home. There's going to be a point in time where we're going to be like, man, remember like the good old days? Remember this? We're living them right now. Like this moment. Don't say that. Why would you say that? I mean, I disagree. Why would you say that? It's all up, man. You got to keep going. Jake's a peak type of guy. No. I peaked in high school, bro. Dude, that's what Jake used to say in high school. He'd look over at all of his high school buddies and be like, yo, what's up?

This is the tippy top right now. I agree, though. It is cool to be able to have all this stuff on record of us. Most people don't have days and days. I mean, we got months of footage, years probably, of the last decade. When we're all in an old person's home, I don't think there's enough life left to watch all the footage that's been filmed. Yeah, I think about that sometimes. We have so much footage on these hard drives. Dude, heck.

I'm like, no one's ever, like, once you edit for the video, you'll watch the video back, but you're never going to go back and watch the raw footage unless you need to grab something. Until the documentary's coming out. Yeah, I know. I was thinking about that. I do love having it, but also, like, hey, I'm down to die trying. When we're, like, 40 or, like, 50, there'll be a doc on Netflix. It's going to be amazing. I'm trying to produce it, but I don't think I'm going to be the guy for the job. But it's a dream of mine, like, to do a documentary. I just watched a series.

I just watched this documentary on the American Gladiator show, and they had all the people on there, like 50 now. If you were to watch just our podcast alone, just assuming some of them are longer, some of them are shorter, but just an hour and a half, hour and 30 minutes, it would take you seven straight days to watch.

That's pretty short. Two weeks. So for videos, let's see. We have 450 videos times 15 minutes on average. Let's just say a video. That would be 67. That was a minute. Now divide that by 60 and you get into hours. Well, that's only 4.7. Yeah, man. Sounds about right. But you know what? I guess that's a long time. Yeah.

Here's the thing. 10 years of footage in four days. Yeah. Rookie numbers. What's going on? Everyone. Yeah, you do. We ain't done yet. No, I'm excited for the year end review video. Every year we dropped like a year recap and the last couple of videos or last couple of years that we've done it have,

People love them. Like, the 2021 video has, like, 8 million views. It's just so easy to put it on and just... Tune in, tune out. Every 30 seconds, there's a new bit that you completely forgot about. And it's, like, the highlight reel, too. So it's always, like, the best stuff. Yeah, my mom always told me that everybody would make the documentary, but she said, I don't know if anybody's going to write a book about it, so you should take notes and write a book. I love that. Because she...

she definitely understood that you guys are much more talented at making the video, putting a video together, but she's like, but you can write. Yeah. Yeah. You got that on. You got the leg up on all of us. Yeah. I heard you wrote a book, Ryan. When are you making the audio book? Yeah.

Can you imagine someone just actually assuming that, being like, yeah, Ben and CJ kill it on the videos. So do you come in after and do the captions? You should. You can damn near barely spell half of the words. Oh, bro, I got to talk about that, too. I made some stuff for the merch drop. Oh, we haven't talked about this yet. I made a new product that you guys would have been stoked on, and I fucking spelled...

Lucky. Lucky wrong. EY? So how many of these things do we have that are just like garbage now, basically? 350. 350 dice shakers with dice. It happens. It does. Yeah, it does happen. I think the worst part is, and I actually regret saying this, CJ. I want to apologize.

So you're right. I mean, you and CJ do spell some shit wrong in the videos every once in a while. Like it's not by any means, not every video. And I'm like, CJ, you spelled quiet wrong. And I was like, why did I even say anything? You know, like seriously, because your mistake, some people go, oh, he spelled quiet wrong. Whoever edited this spelled quiet wrong. My mistake cost, you know, $2,900. That's all right.

Because, I mean, you make a bunch of shit. We write a lot of captions, though. You got to think about that. It's pretty easy. And we're on a fucking time crunch. We're typing these motherfuckers up. That's kind of what it was. Changing the color of them and all that. So when we first got a screen printer way, way, way back in the day, like seven years ago, we went to this kid that had, like, this hat brand thing.

And we were like, hey, we'll make you some shirts. And so Mike made this design, and it was like established in 2019 or something. Or 2016. And I have a shirt still. So established in 2016, and Mike made up the art. And we printed the shirts, and we were going to sell the shirts for, I think...

and it cost us $400, so we were going to make $400 on it and then buy something with it. Got done printing the whole line, sent it off to him, and he was like, yeah, you put established in 16 feet versus established in the year 16. You know, the dash versus... Yeah, that's right. And we were like, no!

We're like, well, do you still want them? And they're like, well, if you print them correctly, yeah, we'll take them. So then it cost us another 400 bucks and we made no money on it. Very first, very first time that we ever had a client, had a customer paying for T-shirts and we fucking misspelled it. And I think the worst part. But you did it and I printed it and neither of us caught it. I think that's the worst part. There's no one to blame.

besides the person who created the art the person who typed those words out there's actually no one to blame but them but it is insane it goes to production it goes to oh those shirts look good well nothing's worse when you only have yourself to blame i agree i think those were some of my favorite memories of screen printing in ken's garage because like oh my that's fun my job was

Was just to watch the drive. I had my little gun and I'm like, baby. But you were still putting in your time. I think about that often though. Like,

We were all there. Everyone here has put in their freaking time. How much time we put in building just to get to where we're at. We were doing literally every little minuscule job. Every job that it takes to run this operation, we've done. It's so funny to think back to that too. Jake would get bored and he'd come over and he'd be like, do you think you can print on my back?

Yeah, probably. Print the boxers. But then we're going to have to dry it on you. So we'd print your back and then try and burn my skin, dude. I mean, it's like with anything. Like, little dudes with...

any sort of equipment ever. You got to try it out. We were like printing on your boxers. Dude, I still have all that stuff. You didn't burn it. No. Okay. Oh yeah. I went to Jake's shop the other day and he has a burnt hat. Yeah. Okay. So I was going to tell you guys that ashes. I, uh,

All the stuff I burnt were all duplicates. I actually kept... I have every single piece of merch from the day we started to the day I left in a huge long tube. Every single t-shirt. That's a very odd... It's like a big sock sling. Somehow... Can we get one? Can we get those? Yeah, I'll bring them over for sure. I was going to give them to you guys the first podcast along with... I have the check...

uh, I wrote with the credit card, with the credit card. And I found that's funny, but it's funny. The reason I was thinking of the t-shirt thing, Ben came over the other day to get, uh, all the camera for when you guys were doing Ken's bit. And there was like two screens on the wall and it was like the first screens we ever made. So when I like left, I bought a screen printer and we like printed our first line. I'm like, this sucks. I'm like, I don't miss this at all. And so the screen printer, uh,

I gave it away to some kid or whatever, but I kept screens. We definitely weren't doing it right, but we were honestly having a lot of fun. If we were smarter, we would have done it a whole nother... We would have gone a different way with it. But I just remember all we did, basically, from when we started filming videos and saw a little bit of success, it was just like we worked. Yeah.

That's it. We were just working in some degree, whether we're filming or printing or shipping orders. But we were just always working. Like, it was always something. But it was fun. It was so much fun. And still is. I think back to the printing days of, like, man, it was such a waste of time, but it gave us a reason to stick with it. That's a good way of... Like, we were still just, like, sticking with it because we were like, oh, we can print these shirts and we can make a little bit of money. And we're still doing something. And...

Think back. We could have been, like, doing nothing that weekend. And then if we weren't printing shirts, Ryan would have been at a, you know, college party. Well, I remember I would, like, skip, like,

like school and I would just stay at the shop. Like, you know, cause we'd live in Fargo with the school. But I was like, fuck this. I'd like go down on like a Tuesday and stay all the way till Friday. And I just, it'd just be like me and Mike there sometimes. And I would just like be logging the hours. Cause we'd get paid for our hour, like 10 bucks an hour. We'd, we'd allocate for like shipping orders and it would take so long to like,

fulfilled orders because our op just the way we were running it wasn't that efficient I'd like log you know seven hours of just like acting and then I'd like yeah and then I'd go sit on the couch like maybe play a little bit of Xbox or like edit something and then go to bed and do it again and I felt like I was like yep

Made 70 bucks there. We doing it. I think there was some because we just had such an untypical approach. So it was nice. I was looking at it like a normal job. Exactly. That's what was so good about having the merch in-house earlier is it gave us all a job to start at early. Right.

You guys are right. Man, did we fucking grind. We'd be over at Ken's uncle's shop until 4, yeah, 4 or 5 in the morning. Yeah, we'd just keep messing around. I mean, it was just the youthful energy that we had towards it. But also, you wouldn't leave because you're like, I'm not going to go if they're going to keep going. Yeah.

I'm not going to be the guy that called it quick because then I'm going to look like I'm not a hard worker or something. So then you'd stay and then almost everyone just pushed it. Most people were probably thinking in the back of their head, like, God, it's 2 a.m. I'd like to go home. But then we're like, well, I'm not leaving. So then you just stayed until freaking 5. But then you hit the 3 a.m. delusion where everything was funny, dude. Yes. I don't know if it was the fumes from the ink or...

And the dryer that wasn't ventilated or whatever, dude. But we would just start cackling at not funny things and just have the time of our life. Going to Dilworth. Oh, Dilworth, Delfini. Fucking Dilworth. We would order pizza from Zorba's. I was going to say, that was like the payout. Oh, my God. But it was actually like, it was like the payout, but it was. We would order pizza and we'd get like, dude, should we get like three larges? Like everybody eats tonight.

Yeah. Yeah. We're ball. And it was just like, this is the life. Yeah. Well, you were thinking at least what I was saying is like, I didn't even spend my own money on this food. I, I, we're going to eat, but like granted it was like the still technically our money, but yeah, you like looked at it that way. Not only did

you get paid $10 an hour, but you also got the free pizza. It was like, it was some serious benefits at the time. I tell you what you get Zarbis for free. You're like, dude, there's some Gucci stuff going on right now. Man. I forgot that we used to do the hourly thing. Everyone would have to log their hours, send it to me once a month. Yup. Dude, I remember when we get a check for $450. Part of it though. Like we were, we were dialed what we were. My point though, with all that though, is like,

It didn't just get to this point where we're at. We had to put the time in, and it wasn't like, oh, it was just like...

You know, you had to work your way up the ladder. There was nothing cool about it either. There really wasn't. You were getting made fun of by your peers because it was like the videos aren't necessarily popping and they weren't that good also. You know, whatever. It's just not that cool. Like, you got to just get... You got to fucking put your time in. And then for most people, honestly, it doesn't even pay off. So, like, it's just kind of how it goes, you know? Dude, if anything, it just, like, almost, like, taught me from, like, my next venture of what needs to be done versus, like...

Basically, like, the grind of it, you know? Like, how... Like, the process of it. Like, I'll never forget those days for as long as I live. Like, that's... Like, you remember something. Like, that was, like, an iconic moment of just, like, man, it started there, and it can turn into, like, the top, you know? Right. But even now, like, I'm still... All of us are, like, still grinding. Oh, of course. It's just a different... You're just clawing at the next thing. It's like... The next many things. It just really doesn't stop. So, I mean, it's just...

part of it. Like, it really doesn't get any easier. Never. If anything, it only gets harder because now it's like you got more going on. Yeah. We thought those were like the most brutal days ever. The amount of moving parts now. If you were to give us our job now, then, bro, we'd be like... You weren't prepared for it. You weren't prepared for it. You can't just get thrown into it. You'd be like...

I don't know what to do here. I remember this is my favorite part. You remember when we had the stampers, it said like packaged by Ryan package. Yeah. Yeah. That's the reason why we did that. That the reason why we did that is because people were fucking up on orders. That's sending the wrong shit. That's fair. Oh,

And it was cool, though, because when you stamp that, then they're like, wow, like, Ben packaged my order. It is so cool that it still comes out of our shop. It does. Ken's touching the orders. 85% of them. Touching them, you know, the wrong way. A lot of products moving through here. Yeah, I mean, it is cool. We could have outsourced that shit a long time ago. We did. We did outsource it. We brought it back in-house. Yeah, it's like...

It's all going through the shop, and it's just incredible. Yeah, that's cool. Ken, you're killing it, for real. Ken manages all of it. Yeah, Ken's got a lot of load on him. Honestly, I was thinking about that. I mean, everyone's got their own area that they take it on, but yeah, no, Ken, great job, man. Great job. I think everyone takes on the same amount of stress and load, give or take, but in completely different areas. If I tried to do what Ken does and go like...

send out orders and get everything rolling. It would have a conniption. No one would get in. Whatever that means. That sounds bad. Some days I want to throw my head in a blender and other days it's fine. And other days you're, yeah, it's awesome. I will say one thing that you were always good at back then. And just recently you proved it still. You still are today. Ben was so good at like pushing buttons and getting me to do stuff to where I'd be like,

Oh, I can do that. I'll prove him wrong. The other day, like there was a Costco size pie. He's like, you can't eat the whole thing. I'm like, yeah, I can. I totally can. Well, this is no, you said, oh my God, I love pumpkin pie. I bet I could eat that whole thing. And me being realistic, I said, no, you can't.

- No, I just said you can't do that because it is humanly impossible. - And I didn't want to, but then you twisted a little bit and you kept going. You're like, just do it, just do it, just try, just try. And then you're like, I'll give you a hundred bucks. - I said, I'll give you a hundred bucks and he said, "No, it's not worth it." I said, all right, how about this? I'll give you 300 bucks if you do it, but if you fail, you have to send me the very first video that you made with your producer. - Oh my gosh! - Oh my gosh! - You have it?

Yes, I want to watch it. That was the craziest fucking bet ever. That's an amazing bet. We went back to just $100, but I tell you what. I was looking at that pie. I had a slice at Thanksgiving dinner. There's no way I could eat more than two slices. Do you guys think I did three quarters? Yeah, I think you probably did roughly three quarters of a pumpkin pie that was an XL. 6,000 calories. That's how much it was? 6,000 calories, you guys. You didn't throw up nearly that much.

Dude, but when I did, it was like whole pieces of pie. Because you had no liquid in your stomach. It had to be digested. It wasn't a good consistency. And then I was eating it, thinking about you throwing it up, and it ruined it for me. Yeah, my bad. You're welcome. Guess what? Had Thanksgiving, there was pumpkin pie and apple. Apple.

it was. Dude, I couldn't do it. How did you feel after that? You guys don't understand. I was laying in bed. I was up till maybe 3 a.m. in literal pain. I was laying flat out. My stomach looked like it had a basketball in it. Why do you do that to yourself? Because I told you that was going to happen. He made me do it. No, he didn't make you do it. I just said you can't do it because it's not humanly possible. Right, and I'm like, you're right. And then you go, but I'll give you $100 if you try. Still said no. And then you're like, how about

300. Oh, okay. Well, that's a little bit of a benefit. I didn't know. It's not like I made you do it. It was a clean bet. Yeah. But if, if you would have successfully done it, I would have given you the a hundred dollars. I know. And I didn't. There is a lot of bets. I dead ass think it's,

If it ever happens again. But when I was at like my peak eating element, just chubby as all AF, I think I could have finished it. Yeah. No way. That reminds me of at our 1 million party when Evan was here and he was saying we had this whole thing of coleslaw and he was like, that's right. He thinks he could eat the whole thing. And I was like, there's no fucking chance you could use the same situation. And then it was like,

Everyone chipped in money. It was like a thousand bucks if he could eat this whole thing of coleslaw. And he ate like... Maybe.

Maybe a one-tenth, two-tenths of it, and then threw up all over, as we expected. I feel like I have a very relatable... That was before he was even here. Remember when you tried to eat the Roadhouse Burger? My dad was talking about that because I brought it up at Thanksgiving dinner. I go, yeah, Jake tried to eat this whole pie by himself. And he goes, didn't he try to eat the burger challenge at the local bar? And I was like, yep, he did. Do they still do that? No, they don't. But they used to have a... This would have been so legendary. So they used to be at our like...

local bar. There was a giant plaque on the wall and they called it the Roadhouse Burger. It was two pounds of meat, a patty the size of a plate. So it was patty, lettuce, tomato, onion rings, burger patty, patty, lettuce, tomato, onion rings. And a pound of fries. Yeah. It was basically a Big Mac but made into pound patties in between. Okay.

Okay. And then there was like a whole heaping plate of fries. Two pounds of meat. That's a ton of meat. And I wanted my name up there. That's so bad. And like one day I went in and I'm like, I'm going to do it. I'm going to order it. And he's like, no, sorry, it's done. Basically, like in my experience of bets being made on, I bet you can't eat all of this. It almost never gets accomplished. There's just no winning. Like, yeah, you'll get the money, which I guess is the win. But then it's like...

Was it worth it? The aftermath, dude, you're just like, shit. Leave a comment down below what either you or one of your buddies, like the craziest eating challenge that you've ever done. I would love to know. I bet you there's been some gnarly stuff. I wonder if the Blazin' Wings would still be crazy hot for us. They are. Yes. They'd have to be obviously very hot. I ate one the other day and I was like, damn, this is like... So are you still eating hot stuff after your appendix or did you quit? Because you and me...

I mean, I still am. I love like hot stuff, like very hot, like spicy, whatever. Yeah. I mean, between the appendix and then I got this disease. It's called SIBO after the my appendix surgery, which was two months ago. SIBO Tevo. SIBO Tevis. SIBO Tevis. So between between my surgery and then SIBO. Um.

That's so damn close. Like three letters away. That's bananas. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What is it? Don't make fun of his disease. Yeah, you're right. It stands for small intestine bacteria overgrowth. It's common after like stomach surgeries. Oh, okay. And... So it's... Yeah, so like... I like went on like a super shitty diet. Like I quit drinking besides for Vegas. But...

Quit drinking for like two months. Shitty ass diet where it's just a carnivore diet. Like literally just steak and eggs. Lost like 10 or 15 pounds doing it. Still feel like shit. I cut out spice and I don't know if I could like go back to it. Obviously the level that I was at before. But like every single thing I ate up until my appendix surgery had hot sauce on it. Yeah.

Yeah. Every single thing that shouldn't have hot sauce on it, I would put it on everything. The reason why I ask is because Justin was like us for the longest time and we were all like all three of us put hot sauce on everything. Justin was really on a kick. He'd bring the hot sauce to a restaurant. Like a little lunch box. Yeah. Then his appendix burst. So like, that's the only thing. I mean, I don't know if there's really any correlation, but from the, my experience with my surroundings of,

people that maybe it might be connection to hot sauce and putting it on everything. They don't say, they don't say that it is, but they, they don't have enough proof. I mean, how do you prove that? Yeah. They don't say it's connected to anything. Cause,

So it makes me a little worried. I'm like, man, maybe I should dial it back on the hot sauce. I don't know if hot sauce is good for anything. I think when you get so hot with it, it's just not good for you. But it's almost like an addiction. You know, like your tolerance gets a little more and you kind of get addicted to that feeling of like, ooh. Totally. Because I used to hate it, but now it's like you just kind of always want to up it a little bit.

Speaking of random Amazon purchases, I ordered the hot ones. Were we speaking of that? No, but we were last podcast. So if you didn't watch that, go watch and you'll know what we're talking about. You don't remember a year ago we were talking about Amazon purchases? So speaking of that. You know, recently I just grouped the last 10 years of our relationship. I ordered the hot ones challenge. And I want to do it with a group of you guys. That'd be sweet. It's all 10 of them. We should do that on a pod.

Yeah, I think next time I come on, I'll bring it. I have all of them. And, like, I opened the last one, and it smells like death.

It's Da Bomb. Oh, yeah. We used to eat Da Bomb all the time. Do you remember 357 that my dad bought? Do you think Da Bomb is worse than that? 357 was bad. There's a point when it's uneatable, though. It's not even disgusting. We can just still do it. Next time you're on the pod, we'll do a little hot...

wings lineup. The worst video bit that we've ever filmed to date. Everyone will agree with this. Worst one that made it to air. Yeah, that made it to air. There's been several things that have never made it to air. Yes. For a reason. This one was, it was

It was probably just a cold-ass winter, and we were just trying to think of one more bit to put in a video. And we were like, what if we did hot ones but with our girlfriends? And then the winner got $500. We never thought about how low it would take to win besides one person making it to the end. They were fighting to the nail. So we're doing this hot ones, and we're putting little dabbles on it, and each one had to get bigger and bigger. And the first one they were crying at, but they were like, next one.

We're like, okay, hotter one. Oh, my God. I hate you guys so much. Like, they were, like, actually. It was bad.

like live it at us but we were like yo you want to stop like yes i personally don't like they were in it man like i don't i don't think they took it as hard as we we just felt bad about it yeah i don't think the girls are that hard to watch because they were like all like crying at the end but they still wouldn't like quit who won well when you eat a lot of hot sauce your eyes do start to water we've had a lot of we've had a lot of bad bits though i mean i i oftentimes sometimes think i'm like

Why did we even add that we would have been better off just not even doing anything and just cutting it short? Like, I look at even at the armpit waxing, and maybe you guys feel indifferent about it, but...

Or the audience. But I'm like, man, maybe we would have been better off not doing anything. I don't know. It's tough. You got to have some L's to get some good W's. Yeah. It's all part of the process. You were talking about earlier, how do we do bigger and better? I know you didn't say it quite like that. And because it's not really about that. Like our last video, the Glamis Sand Dunes, like such a killer, just idea executed, had a good time doing it. And then boop.

Switch to Ken dating. Yeah. It's not always bigger and better. It's just like pushing ourselves in different directions. And that was a good example. I agree. Like you look at the comment section on that. There's like almost nothing about the snowmobile. Yeah. Cause they were so nothing taken off guard by what,

We created with that dating show. And then it makes me wonder. I'm like, damn, we could have even done the snowmobiles as its own thing, and we could have done the dating thing as its own thing. Think how much money you could have. But putting them in one, it's a better video, unlike every other YouTuber that would just put them into one or into several ones. Or we could have done other stuff in the back end. But, yeah, no, it is interesting, though. Like, that's a very good point, Mike, where you say do bigger stuff. Like, yeah, we could go take a fucking –

you know, whatever to water skip, whatever, do whatever the hell we're doing. And then it's like the little ones is normally what people end up talking about is that, is that just basic thing that is just funny. Dude, the amount of people that come up to us,

and go, the best thing you guys have ever done is the boat ramp video. Yeah, dude, my hairdresser was just telling me that the other day. I get that, like, at least three times a week. And that's crazy because, like, we went in there, and it was kind of like, damn, I don't know how this is going to go. And then we did it. We're like, yeah, it was pretty good. And then it got chopped up, and then that's when the magic came to it because then it was, like, so quick and, like, just the best parts. Yeah, I remember starting to edit, and I'm like, oh.

This is going to suck. This is, you know, and then it gets a little bit better and a little bit and CJ comes in and he's like, how's it going? Because he knew kind of how it started. I'm just like, bro, this is good. This is so good. That's the best thing we ever did. Really? Yeah, bro. Watch him cry. Dude, I...

That's when you know it's good is when Ben and I watch it back and whoever's typically editing it, you know, whatever part, so maybe Ben edited it or me, and then you don't, you never really know. You're kind of like, I think this is funny. And then when one of us comes in and we're sitting there and we watch it back together, pretty soon we're both in tears and I'm like, damn, this is a bang. Yeah, yeah.

This is a banger. This one's going to hit. That's how the rest of us can tell if a video is funny. I mean, they're all funny in their way, but if something really is standing out, it's because you two, you'll just hear cackling from each other's offices echoing through the shop. The clap and the silence. I was going to say, when you guys get together and laugh, like, okay, cool. Yeah, you got each other. But when you're just both in your offices laughing out loud, I literally, I mean, if I'm downstairs, I'm like,

Nice. Can't wait to watch it. It's got to feel good. When you guys filmed Ken's bit and you were editing it, I was eating the pie downstairs, and I literally every 30 seconds would hear CJ busting a gut. And at that moment, I knew I'm like, I am so excited to watch this because he is losing it up there alone. Should we put one little bit of just one bad part? Like one of the crazy, like kind of awkward parts. Yeah.

We'll cut one of those moments in to this, but it's just one and it's going to be like one of the lower end bad parts that still couldn't go on the main channel. Yeah, yeah. Something that could... We have an older audience that watches on YouTube. Yeah, yeah. To maybe show the degree of how raunchy you are. Like this will be the most minimum. Yeah. There was much worse. So now that we kind of got the normal formalities out of the way, what do you think of like

BDSM and stuff like that. I think it's fucking sick. You think it's fun? So do I! No, I was just curious. I was wondering. Also, how tall are you? I'm 6'3". You're 6'3". How tall are you? I am 5'6". So you would love to be like a little submissive? Oh, yeah, I love being dominated. Yeah, it's fun. I don't know. I have horrible ankles because I was a gymnast for eight years. So I am flexible, which helps with my BDSM activities, but...

Yeah. Well, I mean, Ken's still on the market. So maybe we just do a version. Yeah, we did a bad job. We did a bad job. We clearly didn't get the right one. We didn't set him up for success. Ken, I think this is what you guys should do. You need to keep going until you find him his woman and then you get your next candidate.

Imagine Ken actually marries this woman, and then we're like, yep, we set him up all in a YouTube video. It's all on camera. That seems like a lot of work, Jake. I think you guys can get it done. I think after 39 episodes, I'd start to get a little anxious to get someone else on. Tell you what, you give me the first girl, my episode's done. Jake doesn't even see all... You're going home with me. But with Jake's episode, they're just like all not.

- He's like, "What the hell is this?" - You guys, I don't know if I wanna be a fireman anymore. - That'd be funny. - They're just like old ladies. - F-350s. - We're gonna end it there. - Sorry. - Oh my God. - Okay, before we end it, I just had to tell you something really funny that came to my mind. So I was watching YouTube the other day, and you know how like when the videos keep going, it'll just keep pulling up recommended? - Sure, yeah. - I'm sitting in the shop and the TV's playing in the background. Do you know what video comes up? - What?

banging tv when me and you made one video it has 20 000 views and it's just that's actually kind of crazy yeah it's hidden too yeah it literally just played and it's like yo what up and i'm like is that me and all of a sudden it's me and cj screaming into a webcam i'm like yeah just low quality it was like a hidden vid yeah crazy i was afraid someone else would take banging tv and that

Maybe someday you or us would want that. So I was like, well, I'm going to lock that shit down. It would have been nice if I knew you still had it. Are you leaving the whole banging name?

I don't know if I'm leaving it, but like... Yeah, if you want banging TV, you can... I mean, I got the fucking password and everything and the login in my phone from 2017. Do you still want to stick with like Sherby Banging, I guess, as your name? I've always thought about it. Every time I open my Instagram, I'm like...

When do I change this? Oh, it's Sherby Bang in 69. Here's what I do like. Here's what I do like, which is where I kind of felt like you were at after the whole fiasco with your manager and everything.

SherbyBangin69 is and, in my opinion, should always be your Instagram name. See, that's the thing. Other than that, I don't think that you're, like, bound to that, though. No. Like, if you're worried, like, that's my thing, like, I don't think that's your thing anymore. You're more than that. I don't think so either, but, like, I just, like... It's an OG thing.

Yeah, well, it's just like the whole roots because it was a part of like a timeline in my life, you know, or like that was super sick and it was super fun. And like the whole like banging thing, like we had so much fun with that. And like we sold a shit ton of merch and stuff like that. And then like I think I've just kind of like moved on, you know, to the whole.

But I'm saying, and I don't think I'll, maybe I'll make a special drop with like banging merch or whatever, but like, I don't know. I think it's like some people at events, most people still like call me that. And I'm like, yeah, it's cool. You know, like I've never, yeah. You know, it still is a great, you saying that does sound weird. Like some people still call me that. Like, I mean, I know I don't call you that in person, but like to me, this guy used to regardless, like,

I'm pretty sure you're the one that just forced everybody to call me. Yeah, because I thought it was a great slogan, man. And then it was the banging underwear was going to come out. I wore those yesterday. That was going to be fire. We had a couple of demos made. Hey, Ken. Ken got robbed. He put in an order and never got the money back. The underwear never showed up. I have an arsenal of banging designs. An arsenal.

I just felt like you could put banging on anything. That's why I was like, we got to fucking stick to this shit. I mean, maybe you'll do something special one day, you know, just like one-offs for the core audience and the OG viewers and stuff. But I'm not...

I'm not focused on it, but I don't want to put it to rest for the record. I think, uh, would kill like way to wait a while. Yeah. Drop some OG. Yeah. Like just some way back in the day stuff, or even like just some like OG designs even, or what? Cause you know, I trade, even though you made them, I trademarked them so I can do that. But, uh, just kidding. Sorry. But no, um, I don't know. Yeah. I've thought about it. I'm like, ah, I don't think there's a point at this point in time or a reason. Like, I don't care. Like I, like,

A lot of people still call me it, and it is what it is, you know? And then you could be called a lot worse. What about like Sherby Jerkin? Yeah. Hey, Jerkin. That's his new thing. Jerkin. Don't trademark that, Jake. Jerkin. I'm going to start making Jerkin merch. Jerkin merch. Dude, I love that. I mean, or, okay, so people used to call you Bangin', but now it's like, now they just call you Shitbird. Yo! Jake! Jake!

Yeah, no, see, that just doesn't happen. You know what's funny? Not shitting on your name, but, like, it doesn't hit as hard. It's evolved. I mean, it's like, you know, it's not as bad as, hey, Ryan. Yeah, that fucking name blows. Come on. I can't even let you disrespect me. I know. I'm just kidding. I love making that joke. I will say, Ryan didn't make it on top ten worst names. You look it up. Where, dude? Who wrote that list? Look it up right now. Fucking Brian? Top ten worst names.

- Top 10 worst white boy names. - There's no way, dude. It must've had to been like, - Chad. - Their reputation obviously built the reputation. - Ryan Reynolds. - I'm super curious. - Yeah, look it up, Ken. - Actually. - There's worse ones. - Okay, yeah, yeah. - But he's on the list. - Hey, I didn't think Ryan was number one. - It's actually not even close. - Really? - What number is he? - It doesn't even pop up on the top 100. - Good, good. - So there's Satan, Adolph,

Osama. What the fuck? Ken, I'm doing the normal names. All right. Ian, which...

That's bad. He's a good kid. My boy Ian, sorry. Is it that bad of a name? Yeah, it's not that bad. All right, let's wrap. Thank you guys for having me. It's always a blast. Hope to come back again. Check out Jake's YouTube channel, Jake Sherbrooke. Thank you guys. Bum's Eyewear. I'm going to be a driver one day. We're going to go play some darts. Give up on your dreams, Jake. Thanks for hanging out with us.

Rusty Clark, an Army and Air Force veteran, needed treatment at a VA hospital. Meet his wife, Juanita. We live above Borgentown, 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 of 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.

Meet Rusty. I was in the Army Guard, and then I went into the Air Force, and then I met Juanita. Keeping families together when they need it most. For active-duty military wounded and veterans sick or injured, Fisher Houses make a huge difference. Learn more at FisherHouse.org. That's FisherHouse.org. Because of family's love.
