Shownotes Transcript

The clip of Evan falling through the ice was on Fox News. Evan has the best scenes. I have been in court though. Were you facing some serious time? Uh, no, but I was facing some serious fines. So is there like town curfews? Dude, you're like living in Footloose.

He was like, I told Ken I wouldn't have it till the end of the day or like, so I have to go over there and pick him out. But Ken's on the line. Like, no, just go. Oh, no, it's these. No, you have to go get these. And I was like... Ken's on the security camera, like looking. He's like, oh, the... Is he really on their security camera still? I was like, dude, I...

I'm going to just come back once they figure this out. I don't want to get in between you and your employees. This family drama. So we don't have the washing machine. No, we don't. I left without the washing machines. Yeah, we're going to be putting a brick inside a washing machine. It's been done, but not by us.

So we need to test it. We got a couple because I can't imagine it's going to last very long. Dude, I kind of feel like my index finger is missing with Ken being gone today. I know. An important part of me is missing. Who's going to search up when we have a question?

Yeah, he's been out for two days, and that's what did it for me. It's like, okay, he's gone. You got to accept he's sick. We'll let him be. But two days without him, I feel like we're really slowing down. Yeah, I think he has COVID. Really? I shouldn't say that. Don't even say it. I think that's okay now. Can you still not say that? Yeah, maybe we can. What was up with that? What a weird time that there was like, I think he does have COVID. There was a worldwide pandemic, and then you couldn't talk about it.

You couldn't say the word. It was like saying the F word. The word was like effing up all algorithms. Yeah, it would put the little thing like on Spotify. You would get the little thing like a misinformation tab even if you just said what you just said. I don't even know if we want to have the algorithm part in here.

I don't know. I just, I worry. But yeah, Kendrick's on his deathbed. Poor guy. He got, you know, sick after his big extravagant vacation. Hawaii vacation. We still don't know. We were kind of dancing around it when he was on the podcast. But when Ken was in Hawaii, I guess we can say this because he's not here. We don't know what the fuck.

I know. We should have tint on here to clear it up. But anyways, kind of a funny story here. We got new windows put all around Mike's, mine, and Ken's house.

And then they were doing the last piece, which was like a big sliding glass door in the middle. Well, I went and got blinds for all the new windows because you had to get new blinds. They wouldn't fit on the – it's not the same measurement as the old ones. But Ken didn't want the blinds I was getting because they weren't good enough for him because he couldn't make them go up and down from his iPhone. He's a specific man. Yep. So he has no blinds.

So this dude's like all sick bedridden. And he's like right here. He's got like these like big three windows. And then

And then these guys are just all walking right around it, knocking out brick. The patio door is right next to his room. Yes. And they're just looking at him and he's just like, no blinds at all. Like it's so awkward because back when he did have blinds, but he'd like put them up in the morning and he'd lounge in his bed. I'll go down and like take a hot tub and

We'll just lock eye contact at each other as I'm hopping in the hot tub, like half naked. And then he just pressed the button. They go, but he couldn't do that this time. So I kind of felt bad for him. And regardless, even if he had the shades, it's,

Not relaxing at all to have construction work going on outside. Knocking out brick walls. Using goddang dynamite. And they use sledgehammers. Yeah, that's extremely unfortunate. I would like to...

know what the workers are thinking too. They gotta just be like, man, these guys are just so fucking weird. It's like, what is this full-grown man doing just laying in bed right now? That's what I'm picturing. Poor guy. You know, Ken ain't sleeping. He's just

I'm sure both of them were trying not to look at each other. Like, like they probably looked in one time. Some were like, don't look to the, don't look in there. And he was kind of like, Oh, he's probably doing some abuse on that toilet. Dude, this week's got to go out. He's got to go out. I was just thinking that. He's got to go out to his bathroom. That sucks. Like I can't imagine being sick and then not having your house to yourself. No. Yeah. That, that,

That does suck. My house was under renovation for like four months. I knew what time they were like coming every morning. And sometimes I would just like not be up and at them by the time that they would get there or they would get there early. And so like people are like out working in my house. Yeah.

And I, my lazy ass like wanders out at like nine and I'm like trying to like, just creep on. I've been there since seven and I'm like, Hey, and they're like, Oh, sorry. I didn't know that you were in there sleeping. And I'm like, yep. Still live here. I'm like,

I'm not up and at them at 6.30 every day. So just go about your business and ignore me. And I went through that for about three months. Three months? Yeah, for a while. If like when you were like, you know,

waking up or still kind of in your room getting ready. They think you're not there. They're just talking shit. Yeah, no, that's the thing. They get there. I'll wake up and the first couple times it would rattle me because I think my house is getting broken into and then I recognize their voice and then I just hear them

going through their entire weekend. And like, it's Ryan's dad's crew who built this shop or is building our new farm. And like, we've got to know them pretty good. Steve and Dan love those guys. It's really funny to just

be like a cricket on the wall and like listen to their conversation. A cricket on the wall. Either way. I mean, I'm sure it'd be pretty like, it'd be fun to be like a ladybug on the wall.

A cricket on the wall, though? You know, we are pretty tight with Steve and Dan, though. Like, I mean, they've built the room that we are having this podcast in. Micah named his Bronco after Steve. So I can relate to what you're saying. Yeah, because I'm doing that right now. Oh, yeah, yeah. How's that going? They show up at 8, not crazy early, but at 8. So I try to be up when they're there. Dude, they just razz me up. Really? They're like, oh, you up early? Every time. Look at it. Look at it.

How's this guy up right now? And then, yeah, just a few other jabs here and there. You can't get away from it, can you? No. Even the construction workers in this guy's house. It's like Mike goes to the dentist one morning. It's like 8.30. They're like, what the fuck?

Wow, we all didn't think you were going to make it. You don't even know him. The dentist is like, damn it, Sharon. Gives her 20 bucks. You won. Yeah, I'm fine with it as long as they don't jab it too many times. Too deep? No, or maybe too deep, but that's what really annoys me. If you got a guy at the bar who's like...

talking to the bartender and he's trying to get his tab for free or put it on the other guy and it's funny for a little bit and then if he keeps doing that it's like the same thing yeah it's the same joke over rinse the joke well there's people that just have no touch yeah yeah that's what i'm getting that's just a lack of lack of touch but it's also what they know you by they're like micah all right i'm gonna break the ice with him being sleepy dude i mean to be fair these guys these guys have been in our life for like

six years we've had them coming around working on stuff for a while now you don't know how many times they have probably seen your ass roll out at like that's true noon 11 30 probably been like 30 days worth over the time oh probably more than that so it's like sometimes they don't see me and then sometimes they're just like morning my the

They're on lunch break. I wonder about that, though, because, like, you know, it's got to be somewhat common for, like, people that come and work at your house or, you know, our buddy Mark who did, like, hot tub maintenance. You know, he would say, yeah, I go to people's house all the time and, like, they're there and it's just, like, you're working on their stuff while they're there. It's kind of awkward because they're watching you and you're trying to, like, kind of skirt around.

Yeah, you're trying to do it fast, but right. You're worried because they're watching you. I kind of forgot how many jobs were like that where you go into people's houses because Evan was just saying that. He's like, I love when they start early when they're down for us to be in their house by 7. I always loved that and hated it when they wanted us to be in by 9, blah, blah, blah. Evan was in people's houses removing asbestos? Yeah, he said it was pretty rare, but sometimes they do residential jobs and they'd close off

you know, the one room they're working in. Makes sense. But like, he's like, we'd show up at seven in the morning and there's like three kids at the dinner table eating cereal, packing their backpacks. He's like, it was just weird. Yeah. Evan's coworkers are on their six cigarette already. Evan's drinking two teas already. Yeah.

I remember that landscaping we used to hate working at people's houses that were there because you had, we called them the owner's home playlists, which were much more clean, typically more country, you know, acceptable. And then you had when they're gone, you can play the like Kanye and stuff like that. It was a little more aggressive. No, it'd be funny if like next time Mark's,

at someone's house, we like get the inside scoop and like tell the homeowner like, hey, just like get some binoculars out. I'm just like, they're just like stand straight and just, yo, just watch it. Start taking pictures. Hold the video the whole time. Yeah. Did you

Did you guys see that South Park made a whole thing about, well, Prime, but cred? Yeah, they had to change it. Obviously not to get sued, but I thought it was pretty good. But the play on words was so funny. Yeah. No, if he doesn't have cred, none of us have cred. Yeah, it was just great. I thought it was awesome. I think Logan Paul was pretty pumped on it too, which as he should be, because like if South Park's making fun of you, that means you've really made it. Yeah. You've broken into like...

mainstream, the mainstream mass majority where you don't even have to explain a joke and it hits. Yeah. Like it's a rip off. They made a whole episode. Yeah. It's like a special, the, the Paul brothers have always been good at taking, taking that one on the chin. Yeah. Yeah.

But that was like positive hate, dude. I'd be pumped if they made an episode making fun of us. Yeah, dude. It'd be so easy. We were so fucking pumped. Yeah, like seriously, Matt and Trey, the creators of South Park, like it'd be so easy just like do one episode making fun of us. Can you imagine? And then they just like really go in though and you watch it and they're like going deep. We're like, holy shit, they went too far. Yeah.

Or if you make it in The Simpsons. If there's a Simpsons character of you, that's like next level. Dude, the clip of, I don't know if we've talked about this, but the clip of Evan falling through the ice was on Fox News. Oh, yeah. That was mainstream. That was mainstream. Fox Business. So random, too. Maybe it's like a segment that they have, but it was like,

Just straight up a part of the Fox News network of them talking business. And they were like, brief break in the program to just show a random clip of a guy riding a dirt bike on thin ice. They quoted us and stuff too, which was cool. Excited us. Put the clip in right here. Boom. So these YouTubers decided to do a little dirt biking on a frozen lake. Watch this. Oh no.

At

After that went live, it was weird how many people saw that and were like, oh my gosh, you guys were on Fox News. Like so many people that we don't really talk to every day but are probably massive Fox News fans. They were like, oh my god, either these guys have made it, maybe, or...

of like some validation now or like had to be a crash god damn no it's something all the good things that too couldn't have been like the hummer pontoon one of our our prouder inventions or or like the cum and swapped ranger yeah that'd be even better we were having this conversation the other day of like how many people when they're like explaining us to other people that don't really know what we're about and they're like yeah these guys are like they do stunts and like all

all kinds of crazy stuff, which I guess we do, but a lot of it has more context and there's more to it than just a stunt. But so many people just know us from like viral, viral clips like that. Yeah. And that's where like the stunt term gets attached to us. I'd be curious to like hear, I guess, what you guys...

explain us as it's not like you're running around talking about us per se but someone asks you like oh who do you watch on YouTube and like how do you explain what we do and who we are and be honest we won't care if you don't need to flatter us like but just be like oh yeah there's some dudes but to Ben's point we do get a lot of the locals being like yeah you guys are the

Guys who do crazy shit. Yeah, I mean, the crazy shit makes sense, but like just straight stunts. Or the dumb shit, sorry. Yeah, I don't really like the dumb shit. Yeah, you're right. And it is a fine line because the crazy shit might not even involve like any stunt per se, but the Hummer pontoon, that's some crazy shit. They do crazy shit. That's a...

That's up there. That's up there. But like dumb is at the bottom. Yeah. Crazy is a awesome. It's better. Awesome. That cool. Like that's you're working up the list, but you get to like dumb or stupid. I hear stupid. You guys always do the stupidest stuff. I'm just like, damn, that,

Thanks, man. Thanks. But I get it. It's hard to explain. Do we still get our stuff put on like Chive and like all those networks? I hope we didn't get it taken off because I kind of liked having it. I don't think we got it taken off, but I don't know if we have any updated stuff. No, they just go and take it. I did just see it in Florida. Oh, so then we're good. It was funny because like the guy next to me at the bar, we were just like stopped in to eat.

and we just sat at the bar because it's easier to get faster service and like there was a local guy sitting next to us it was like his spot because we sat in it and the bartender was like hey can you guys move over oh wow and we're like yeah yeah of course put some time in so he sat down and he was talking about the TV and then it was like three clips later we were on and I was like

What do you think about those guys? It happened so fast, though. You can't, like, talk about... Like, you couldn't even bring it up if you wanted to flex it. Because then it's on to the next clip. I one time sat down, and it was just me and some other dude. And, like, he was, like, avidly watching, like, a bunch of segments of us. And I was sitting right next to him. And I was waiting. Like, I was like, is this dude going to, like, notice? And then he didn't ever notice. That's what I do love when they, for some reason, they play, like...

A minute or two. When they do a segment. Like golfing is a segment where it's like a minute of golfing clips. That's how you know it's entertaining when it doesn't need audio. Yeah. Yeah. That's like our best of. None of those bar TVs play audio most of the time. Did you guys see that clip of the judge that like sentenced the guy? Yes. And then the guy just like retaliates and-

basically jumps over yeah and tackles the judge the judge used did you guys see like the video beforehand no explaining no okay so so basically the judge is like um you know sir you have a history of assault robbery armed robbery drug dealing all these things right i i

you're going to jail. You need some time in jail. You clearly have not learned. And it goes to this guy and this guy goes on this like speech about how he's a, he's a changed man and how he believes that he should be free and how he's like learned from his mistakes. And, you know, it was the first four or one times in jail, he got it out of his system. And,

And he's a changed man. Please, your honor. He literally says that? Something along the lines. Yeah. Something along the lines of that. How he's a changed man. Damn, bro. You can't do that after. And then the judge goes, nope, I think you're going there. And then he just switches. So I was like, oh, man, this guy's clearly got some mental issues of, like, bipolar disorder. Why'd she have to say it like that, though?

Like, sometimes they get sassy with him. Like, no wonder he got mad. Maybe she's already dealt with him. Being a smartass like that? No, you're going there. Like, I've seen clips where they're like that. That's, like, pretty rude. You're just like, damn, they don't give a fuck. Like, you could at least be, like...

Unfortunately, I think you need to go. I think for people in that position is they probably deal with the worst of the worst people. All day. They honestly probably just have less patience. You need to if you're going to be a judge. Yeah, probably don't deal with people. They probably are more than most. But yeah, that's true. I don't know. I saw the clip initially and I was like, oh my gosh, I wonder if that was real. This guy just straight up tackling the judge. And then I saw the...

Video Of him doing that And I was like This is way crazy Yeah he can't be doing that man Now that I know What about when he Go ahead Then the next day He was back in court And they had him like Tied up Chained up Fucking mask over Like a spit mask So he couldn't spit All the police around him You see that Yeah Did he get any licks in on that Uh

He licked like a punch. I never saw an angle. He's got the spitting mask on. Did he get any licks in? I just saw this. I didn't know if this is good taste or not. Young Gravy just posted a video talking about this. He's like, I don't blame the man out of

I'd have run up and done the same thing. Or, like, not attacked her, but, like, because he was calling the judge hot. And I was like, damn, this is a little controversial. Young Gravy's always just on something. He's just always about the Cougars. He's a fellow Minnesota boy. He is. Did you see the clip of the guy getting sentenced? Now, after what that happened, the judge just threw the book at him. Obviously, as you can expect. But I believe it was, like, 13 felonies from that.

From attacking the judge, he gained 13 felonies. How much more time did he get then? I mean, I can't imagine felonies are a light deal. Because I don't know. The worst place to commit a crime in court in front of a judge. On a judge. On a judge. So funny you say licks. One of them was with... It was like...

harming something, harming a protected person with bodily fluid. So he must have been spitting on her. Oh, yeah. But they were trying to, like, I don't know if they did, but they were trying to give him attempted murder, which seems a little far. Yeah. He could have been trying. He could have. You never know. But moral of the story is now that I know the context, I thought he was just a psychopath to begin with. I didn't even know what he did. That's just what they showed, him attacking the judge. And then, yeah, clearly now his cards are all...

I bet GTA is watching that like, oh man, that would have been great for the trailer. I only watched like two seconds of each of those clips. Like I saw him attack. I kept scrolling because I don't like watching that shit. And then I also saw the next thing where a few days later and I just scrolled past. I already got the gist of it. Yeah, he knew it wasn't going to be good. I've never seen that happen before.

I've seen it where the family member of someone who was killed will come up from behind and attack the murderer or whoever did something. Yeah, man. And I can't blame them. I would imagine. I've never sat in on a court hearing or anything like that. Have you guys ever been asked to be in a jury? No.

No, thank God. I was in a jury one time for when my classmate got adopted. We got to say yes. Really? Interesting. I have been in court, though. He was on the other side. I was on the other side. No, not actually for that, for college things. They were just misdemeanors. That's right. Parties. Yeah, I remember that. That was scary, dude. I did not like that.

Not a good place to be. Were you facing some serious time? No, but I was facing some serious fines. And he was a notoriously stern judge on party citations. And I had gotten, that was my second. So then what? I think it was like a thousand bucks. Yeah. But I end community service. Oh, wow. So it was pretty, it was tough. Where did you do the community service? Salvation Army. So what'd you have to do? I served food, which I didn't mind the serving. Yeah.

It was the, like, they made me cook and I have no idea how to cook. So like, it felt pretty stressful. That's just bad for everybody. I know exactly. It was good for nobody. But anyway, I was there. I did my 60 hours. You crushed a lot. You had 60 hours. Yeah, it was pretty substantial. Were your parents aware that you served community service and, you know, you...

In front of a judge? I think they knew. If they didn't know, they will be calling me on Tuesday when this comes out. I was just curious what their thoughts were on it at the time. I'm sure they will not be proud. I was young then. But you crushed the community service. The best part of the story is when you hit it out of the park. Ryan and Brad, one of his roommates, hit me up and they're like, can you make this into a shirt?

And it was a red shirt with like a picture of the apartment, blah, blah, blah. With make the bar great again, which is the name of the apartment. That's how we paid for the fine. Because it was $1,000, dude. I was in college. I didn't have any money.

Got my money back. That's pretty sweet. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. It was nice. You guys printed the shirts. Yeah, we printed those. Did you guys ever have to do community service? No. You never had to do it for class or anything like that? I did it for church. We went to the Salvation Army and I don't even know. I think we just did stuff with cans or helped put stuff in where it needed to go. Yep. I want to say they gave it to me way back when I got that...

on my skateboard. You got a ticket on your skateboard? Yeah, yeah, yeah. For what? Impeding traffic. What? In Holly? Yeah, in Holly. In Holly? What traffic? Dude, Holly cops love to just give tickets though, I swear. Right down the highway or what? No. I mean, down like the quite opposite of a highway. You were just on a street? Wait, you were just riding a skateboard down the street and you got a ticket? Literally next to the bowling alley, which is just...

I mean, if you drove by, you go, how many people go here on the reg? Like seven? No one drove by it. And then I was skateboarding the street doing like a coffin where you lay down on the board. And then it was like, cause the street was kind of had a hill on it. And then the cop rolled up and then was just like,

You didn't see that car that was trying to go by when you're going down? And I was like, no, I didn't. And then gave you the ticket. Yeah. What the fuck, dude? Man, they really are trying to get kids inside playing Xbox. Yeah. Yeah, dude. It was like a whole learning lesson because I was really like, it was the most mad I've ever been at like someone for a while. I was just like, dude, what a dick. How much did it cost?

I think it costed like a hundred bucks, but that's a lot of money. And then he got, he like took a job in Louisiana and I was like, let's go. He's gone. And then shortly after he died. Oh, so then I was like, dang, I felt kind of bad for just being so mad at him. First experience with a ticket though, on a skateboard, not in a car.

You've never told that? No. That's a pretty good story. What the heck, dude? I saved the ticket. I still have it. That's cool. Yeah. And it's just like a pedestrian ticket. How often do you get one of those? So that was before you had a driver's license and all that. Yeah, at 14. So did you even have a...

an id to hand them or you think i did i had a permit okay not a permit no yeah yeah i had my permit yeah that's kind of scary though because when you have your permit dude you're on thin ice there's like you can't do anything you get like one speeding ticket and they don't let you get your driver's license speeding your permit that admit that yeah i never thought it was real until it happened you know when you're at the gas station and it's like past 11 or whatever the curfew is and then when the cop shows up

He was super nice. It only happened once, but he's like, yeah, so you and you are under...

so I'm going to have to take you home. Wait, Pauly has a curfew? Yeah. What? Yeah, or at least they did. Were your parents mad when you got taken home? I was above 16, so it was fine. Oh, you just watched your buddy. And I'm like, dang. It was one of my best friends, and he's just like, well, I guess I'm just going to head back home. And it was all fine. No one got in trouble. But he had to bring him home. Yeah, he had to bring him home. So is there like town curfews? Or how does that work? Or is it like a county curfew?

Dude, you're like living in Footloose. I think of you. Yeah, dude. And it like, that's what I mean. It only happened once, but... Were you causing a ruckus? No. Or were you just like, what were you doing? Just bikes and boards up to the gas station. Bro, I have a hard time believing that. They were just coming from the spot heading to Graffiti Bridge. They had ski masks on too.

I mean, no, we were truly just riding around. Yeah, I mean, being children. There is a curfew. Like in Fargo, I know there's a curfew. I don't know exactly what the time is, but I think it's more so like if you're just out lounging around, walking the streets, and you're a kid, then it's like, hey, what are you up to? There's probably, it's like a way to enforce a problem. Like if you see a kid that's like fucking around, you're like, all right, you got to go home. But like that seems pretty whack.

Felt whack. There's a lot of whack laws. Well, didn't they have a curfew when COVID was a thing? If you were out past a certain time, then you were more likely to get COVID or something? No, I think they were just, it was weird, man. They were like shutting down everything. Like all the restaurants had to close early. That's weird.

That's right. They didn't even have to close. It's just they had to close early. They couldn't be open late. Isn't it weird how that whole time is just a blur now? I don't even really remember much. It kind of just blew over in my mind. But it was like, what, a year or two? Yeah. Just like two years. We couldn't even go out to eat sitting there. You had to order it to go. When we were around here, everything wasn't that changed. But it was just like more sucky.

Yeah, it's really funny to hear certain people talk about it, how like it changed my, you know, everything I was doing. I had to completely stop and stay at home. And I think back to it happening for us and we were just like...

Well, better work harder. Nothing's really changing around here for us. I do remember like where you lived. Yeah. Other than that, like all my buddies got school off. They all got work off and we're just like grinding because it was just right as we were really starting to gain like some traction. We're like, right. Can't turn back right now. We would like capitalize on it way more. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I don't think it really made any kind of difference for views-wise. I think if anything, it helped. No, it helped for sure. But I know some creators that were popping at the time really blew up because everyone was at home watching. I don't remember it making that much of an impact or affecting our channel that much. Yeah, there's a lot of horror stories of people having...

let's call it a glamorous life before COVID, and then now they do not, which is unfortunate. But then there's also like Conor Price. He was doing pretty good before that. But then he, during COVID, was like, I decided to make music. And now he's just...

Massive. So true. Yeah. I feel like we talk to people all the time, especially that have like businesses. That was such a defining moment. Pivot. Of like pivot. Yeah. Of like, yeah, so I was doing this and then COVID happened and I had to switch something up and it's like, oh my gosh, man, you've only been doing this for four years. You could have said like 15 and I wouldn't.

You know, I know the difference. But, yeah, that was a strange time. You're kind of scaring me over there with that. Like, you were literally holding this like this. If I couldn't even make a joke at you, it was like. What do you got? Ben's a pocket knife kind of guy now. Yeah, dude. Second day carrying it.

Felt so good, dude. I pulled this thing out. I was like trying to open a bucket the other day. CJ watched it firsthand. I need a knife. Usually I'd have to go inside and, you know, find a box cutter or something. And I was like, oh my gosh, I have a pocket knife. I'm strapped. I'm strapped right now. And I pulled it out. I flipped it open. I'm

Cut it, put it back in. Let me see that back. It's handy. Dude, Ben walks into my office quite literally right before we film this and just goes, he like flips it open, says Ben on it, pocket knives. We need to do them. We need to make them. I did. And then I'm like, all right, as long as it's...

legal to sell knives and then we both go I think it is this is a nice knife yeah it is it's got good weight to it feels good there's something to be said about carrying your own knife I mean think of all the times all we really do is like cut tape here but yeah yeah I don't have a lot of reasons I do have a knife similar to this that sits in my center console of my truck that I'll use if I need to like just in case not necessarily just in case oh yeah but like just in case you need a you need one yeah I'll use it for like

We clarified nothing with that. Just in case. Just in case. You need it, you know. I feel like the next level up on that of preparedness, you see the guys that have the pliers sheath? Yeah. The little leather pliers thing. Yeah, that's always good. And it's just weathered. Yeah, it looks like it's been through a lot. But, man, when you need a pliers. There was a guy at the lawnmower meet. We needed a pliers. And he's like, I got one. Oh, my God. He's been waiting for that moment, dude. I was like, that's what I'm talking about.

You know he went home that night and was finally like, yeah. I used it. I knew this thing would come in handy. But that's what I mean. Some of the guys look like they just whip them out on the hour. A lot of guys, like if you're a farmer, dude, like my uncles and my grandpa, like they freaking use those things all the time. You got to love that. Yeah, I mean. I mean, yeah, it was like just.

Whenever dads or grandpas, when someone goes, anybody got a knife or something of the sort? And they're just like, dude, yes. It's already like, you want me to open it or you? Here it is. Well, how about the Leathermans that have like...

The players on it and then the screwdrivers. You mean Swiss? Swiss was Army Nice. Yeah, you had the fucking... Yeah, but leather. Leatherman is like the nice version of it. I remember the Swiss. The fork and the spoon. Swiss with the toothpick. That was my favorite part. You take it out like... It reminds me of the new keys, like how they don't actually have a key, but you can press the button. You take it out. It's a toothpick? No way. Metal? Yeah.

No, it was plastic. Oh, plastic. Just white. So funny. I thought it was like wood and it was like reloadable, you know, like you always got one. I honestly have a pretty good pocket knife collection. Really? Amazing. I could bring it if you guys are interested. I think, is it just like a generalized thing? Because like I have quite a few knives and my dad and grandpa kind of did that to me. Yeah, I got them all from like my grandpa and my uncles. They would always give them to me as a kid. Like at Christmas birthdays, you'd always get one. Get a little knife.

And like some of them are pretty, pretty freaking cool. And other ones are just, you know, like standard, nice. Yeah. That have really never been used. And I never like really understood it. They'd be like, okay, so these ones are from Europe. So they're going to be good. Okay. And these ones aren't. So they're not going to be good. Yeah. I just remember him saying like where they're from. And like sometimes it may be like being graved like on the thing. I had this thing on me because it's got a window breaker. Right. Yeah.

on the end here and I was just asked to be in my sister's wedding by her fiance and that's why my name is on it cute I didn't just order him I wasn't sure if you put the little tux on there because you always dress up so nice this is my wedding night

It's also fancy. But no, I had this on me because we took my Lambo on the ice yesterday. I guess the video is already live. So last week's video, you would have seen it by now. I figured I should have this in case things went really south and it went through the ice and I had to break a window. I was like, this is worst case Ontario. Yeah. I guess...

If I needed to, I could do it. Did you have your seatbelt on when you were doing that? Yeah. Really? I feel like the wrist level. I would have not had my seatbelt on. You can't buckle so fast. Yeah, you can. It's not like a five-point harness. But still. So I was like. I suppose you just didn't want to listen to that annoying chime. Yeah, that too. Most importantly. No, it was super annoying. I just saw a video of a guy. It was a very small, compact, low-trim car. Drives it into the water at a high speed. Oh.

in the water. He waits and lets it sink down. He's waiting and waiting and waiting. He's like, I just want to show you guys how much time you have. He's like, okay, it's getting up to the windows and even that was like a minute and a half. He was in there until he had his window breaker, but he was in there until he crawled to the back and then water up to his mouth and then broke it and then swam out. He's like, if you wait...

To a certain point, and you break the window, then all the water goes in on you, then it's hard to get out. Makes sense. But, like, he waited in there so long. But if you didn't have the window breaker, kicking that window out in the water is... Yeah, I watched that video. That guy kind of almost, like, was getting off on, like, hanging in there until the last minute. And I'm still in here. Yeah, the guys on the outside are like, like, he's good. Yeah.

I feel like that was such a thing on Discovery Channel. I feel like I've watched a thousand dudes get out of a car as it's sinking in the water. That was like the thing in mid-2000s TV. They were like, we're going to put a car in the water. They probably for sure did that on Mythbusters. Yeah. We did get Randy a new face. Yeah. I got a good comment on my Snapchat. It said he's got a good head on his shoulders. That's true. Yes, he does. Randy's a maniac, man. He's a stuntman, but he's also got a good head on his shoulders. Yeah.

The only guy that's actually a stuntman around here is Randy, dude. Reckless Randy. No, but he's like a lot of things. He doesn't back down from anything. He helped me move my couch into the basement. Oh, really? That's nice. That's true. He fell down the stairs and was like, no big deal. He's a lover. Yeah, he is. He is a lover. To some of us. More than others. Some people have...

taking a liking to each other. Special bond. Yes, a special bond. Some people are better friends with him than others, we'll just say. Personal connection. Reckless Randy is kind of like our version of like Elf on a Shelf. He just like moves around. He's like doing things at the night when we're

Yeah, he's doing certain things. But you don't fuck with him. You just let him be. The nice thing about Randy is he's so freaking inconvenient to move. It's like you must really want to move him if you're moving him. I was just going to say that. I'd just out it now because the odds of me being able to move him much. Yeah, I was like, I'm going to do that. That's so funny. And hopefully someone just goes...

Is someone doing Elf on the Shelf with Randy? But there's no way I could do anything with him. You just shuffle him around. He's a full-size human, dude. He weighs 170 pounds. It's dead weight, too. You ever say that in a video? It's 170 pounds of dead weight. I don't know what it is about it, but lifting him... It's tough because his arm starts moving. Yeah, and then you're like...

Which is just like a real person. Only person I have seen, you know, move Randy around efficiently is, you know, the large one, Ken. Oh, yeah. That's true. He was moving around a lot. The way he was able to get him into the bed of the mule, like, you know, without any like neck injuries or anything. He's pretty good at that. Moving Randy around. Smooth operator. God, he did move him around a lot.

All right. Next thing. That's enough. Dude, so I was watching Wiz Khalifa's Snapchat story the other day. I was watching it too. Yeah, he must be like, you know, getting pumped to us. Yeah, he must be trending. It intrigued me a lot because he's in the studio and he's like bringing you guys along on one of my studio sessions. And then he raps the...

the song backwards. I heard about this somewhere. So he listens to the beat, the section of the beat he'll be putting that verse on, hits the verse, and then he listens to four measures back, listens to that, tells him to keep playing it over. Oh, so he writes the song in reverse. No, he writes the song...

Normally. He comes up with the rhyme and then he rhymes it with something that he already said. Yeah, yeah. It makes it kind of crazier sounding as far as what he's saying, but also how do you make them correlate? I thought you were saying that if he was rapping...

My Lambo is black. He was like rapping like black is my lamp Lambo. Like everything was in reverse. I was like, what sounded like Yoda? No, just the verses and it sounded. And then he would play like his, you know, six, seven verses that he laid down and it sounded so good. AKA like a normal whiz song, but maybe you guys start rapping. Mike, pick it up as a hobby. I just don't have time. Set up.

That'd be the next thing. You should buy a studio set up. Do you still have that drum set? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Where is that? Where do you think?

Downstairs in your house. Downstairs in Jake's mom's house. I was not going to say that. So you can play it when you pop over there. You should just show up there one day at like 2 in the morning. I'm just here to play my drums. The most inconvenient thing to have at your friend's mom's house. If your Xbox was there, she wouldn't complain. But if you came over there and was playing drums...

She had to have been so bummed when Mike was moving that issue.

She was because she's like, you can put that right next to Jay's drum set. That's a good gift to give one of your friend's kids. Your friend's got a 10-year-old kid. You're like, you know what would be funny? Let's get him a full drum set for his birthday and don't tell the parent, your buddies, and just show up. Hey, look, I got you a drum set. They're all pumped and then they can't get rid of it and they're banging on drums all day. Yeah.

I like that a lot. Ben was a drummer. He was actually a good drummer. Unlike? Me. I couldn't play the drums. I was a bad drummer. A good drummer, a bad drummer. If you ain't trying to listen to the drums, it's still super annoying. You had these electronic ones, though. You could plug a headset in, couldn't you? Oh, yeah. That's nice. Do you guys still have those? Or did your dad get rid of them? Damn.

My dad, they were sitting for 13 seconds. Somebody touching them, and my dad threw them away. Anyone going to play these? You're getting a glass of water. No one's downstairs at the time.

That really hit close to home for Ben. So I take it, yeah, he made me. You had to lock everything down. Or have a really good reason to keep it. Like a really good one. Criminally good reason to keep it. Otherwise, it was gone. It was gone. Bro, going over to my parents' house now or like going into my dad's garage. You just assume nothing's going to be there. No, and there's just nothing in there. And I'm like, damn. I love what you've done with them. Yeah.

You got to give a little backstory. Yeah, I was going to say, a little backstory. Ben's dad, if it's not tied down, will throw it away. Because he just is about necessities. And it's a good thing. He doesn't like clutter. No, he doesn't like clutter. Clutter clutters the mind. Yeah. He's like, no, I have things in the garage. Three cars and a bike. Like, that's it.

A screwdriver, maybe? There's a broom leaning up against the wall. We don't have any dust in here. Get rid of this thing. Yeah.

But it's transferred down to his son, Ben. And Ben will just walk around and go, hey, what's the plan with this? Ryan, what's your plan with this? You better have a good reason. I think that what Ben does around here is valid. Oh, my gosh, yeah. I back it up. No, I do too because normally... I just think it's valid until it's not valid. Until it hits the one thing that you want and you're like, no, no. The one thing that...

I've only been sitting there for like how many times I heard, what's your plan with this? When my standup jet ski is sitting on a mattress for six months in the middle of the garage. Again, a valid, definitely got some of that, but also I know what it's like. So I also cringe every time you guys try to manage it, make some kind of reference to me being like my dad. I'm like,

It's a good thing. But it's like one of those things too. Yeah. You just don't want to be too much. It's a feeling a lot of people have. It's not like you hate the feeling. You're just like. Well, I just. Well, cringing on the cringy parts. I cringe because like I make jokes about it to my mom.

Or like my siblings about my dad. And then somebody makes that joke about you. And I'm like, damn. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I guess not. And I just snap. It's clutter. Clutter your mind. And I'm like. I'm so sorry. I am not a chip off the old block. Okay, man. All right. What do you got here? What the heck is that? What do you got here?

All right. Well, I've wanted to do a podcast with our boy Evan for a long time, but he's always gone. He goes home on the weekends and has been a lot lately. So I got him something. Got him a new pair of red shoes, right? Because Evan loves wearing just all red shoes. But being the crazy, crazy stuntman he is. Oh, my gosh. Those go so hard. Dude, they're called Epic Grind Shoes. Oh, my gosh.

Oh my gosh. So the bottom of them has like a, it feels metal, like a metal thing that you've seen. Yes. Let's surprise him with those for a video bit. I'm down this when he comes home, that'd be a good, good surprise. I, he's a little, I, when our little boy comes, he was a little gloom when he was leaving. So like, I mean, this is going to be super fun. So I obviously, uh,

bought a pair myself. Oh, of course. Of course. Let's give them to you. Dude, we're going to the skate park. I think you gotta hit the streets, bro. It's winter right now, but I think we could find something. Yeah, you're right. Going to the skate park is a little cheeto. We could do like, we could hit indoor spots. Dude, can we play the video of the guy like showing like, he was doing a tutorial on how to do tricks

Can you pull it up? I'm sorry, but that shit made me cringe. He was like, so I'm going to run up. And he's like explaining like the three things. I don't know. And he did it in the coolest way possible. I don't think. But what the guy's style and everything. His outfit went kind of hard, but also it was whack. These are sick, bro. Let me see another one. You remember Heelys? They had a time when they also had the grinding. This is in the same. Yeah. Same genre. But yeah. So.

I remember the whole reason I ended up doing this was it was a video that I saw that was actually cool. They had a couple shots. They were doing it, and I was like, whoa. And then I go to the website. I'm like, what are these things? And I see the red ones. I'm like, heaven would look so good in these, and this would be too funny. I tried to grab a couple other clips that they did for the podcast, and I couldn't find any other cool ones. They're all right, but it's like... These guys got a better name, though. Epic.

Epic Grind Shoes. That's straight to the point, but you know that epicgrindshoes.com was taken because it's epic-grindshoes.com. It's when you're going to get a domain and you've got to mix it up. When you're trying to make an Instagram handle, but your name's been taken, you're like, okay. All right, so on the bottom of these, maybe I've just never read a warning sign. By peeling off this sticker, you agree to waive the right to sue PowerSlide...

sport tech, yada, yada, yada, and their owners, officers, directors, employees, and or representatives for any injury, death, or property damages. Oh my gosh. Bro. Dude, as soon as you take this sticker off and you're able to slide these bad boys, shit's going down. That just shows how sketchy these things are. How about...

When you guys do it, you got to dress like this guy. Okay. Bro, he looks like a rollerblader in the year 2000. Yeah. Totally. God, dude, he is a total fruit booter. Just listen to that explanation. Let's move over to a ledge and get used to having our feet in that position. Ankles bent, knees bent. Next, try stalling it.

You can also do a Royale with your other foot if that's more comfortable for you. Once you have that done, move on to the rail. Test it to see how slick it is and practice a couple more stalls. Remember to keep your weight centered on the rail so you don't slip out. Next, let's try sliding off the rail. Plant off your left foot, keep your ankles and knees bent, and jog out to reduce the impact on your knees. Now let's go for the whole rail. The key is to have your feet in Royale position in the air so you lock into the grind immediately. So we're going to stay loose. Remember to keep your ankles and knees bent when you land on the rail.

Like, dude. Honestly, Evan's going to be really freaking good at this. Yeah, he will be. I would be on the ground so fast. Ryan, I feel like over skateboarding.

Or rollerblading, you'd be much better at this. Because at least I can walk. Yo, I just got the image of Ken trying to grind something on me. Dude, it would not go well. How fast would he hit? How fast would he taco his ass over that rail? Ken would just do the lean thing like this and just...

Poor guy. Aren't these a remake of shoes that they were already a thing back in the day? Soap shoes. I'm actually super stoked that I just decided to rip them out and show you guys because you laughed really hard. And I was a little worried because we were all like, ha ha ha, this will be funny. No matter if it's super not cool and really funny or a little of both, whatever. But Evan's probably going to be like,

That's Cheeto, bro. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, it's Cheeto. I'm starting to figure the guy out a little bit better as to what he thinks are Cheeto. Yeah, what he thinks cool and what... Today, CJ asked him. I already knew what the answer was. I was just trying to get it out. I already knew what the answer was, too, but I was curious to see if he would say it or if he would lie.

And CJ said, what do you think of the whips, the light-up whips on the back of the Razor? It's like a total dune thing, but we just left them on because the last time we drove the Razor was in the dunes. And CJ goes, what do you think of just leaving the whips on? And he goes...

Cheeto, bro. Yeah. It's interesting where his loyalty lies because in some things, the standard way of doing things is Cheeto. He's got to stray from the norm. But if you stray too far from the norm, then it's Cheeto. You've got to be right in the pocket. Cheeto means lame or stupid. You've got to be core, man. That's what he is. It's all about being core. Rocking...

the DCs and the Etnies still to this day, which I'm getting on. I'm picking up Evan's shoe game. I'm going to order some, like some DCs and some Etnies, like the fucking block shoes like I used to wear in 2006. Yeah, pop up a pick right now. I think everyone's got a pick. You probably could pop up a bunch of like the hip squad. If you're trying to do something, you don't want to be Cheeto. You want to be Dorito.

Is that better? Is that what he said? He's like, oh, that's Dorito. If you said that, you have to say it. I literally just watched Alex walk out of the room or hide from that. No. Because she was like, oh my God, that was awful. If you said that in front of Evan, he would just go silent and just go. So,

So Cheeto, bro. That was the most fucking Cheeto thing I've ever said, bro. God, he should have been here right now, man. I think if the people at home could do anything, you should send Evan Cheeto things. Like Cheeto branded merchandise. He would love it. He'd hang it up on his room. Yeah, he does. I got him Cheeto underwear. I saw a Cheeto eye palette, like makeup. I thought about buying it, but then I was like, it was like $12 and I'm like,

He's gonna look at this and go, huh? And then never. Who the fuck would wear Cheeto? I don't know. They were all very colorful. Well, it's probably just like eye palette. It's probably just orange. It's probably not actual Cheeto dust. Which would be sweet. Still, who's gonna use orange? I know, but it's different than like the... What the fuck? It's different than the... I got him the Flamin' Hot Cheetos. What do I know about makeup?

Nothing much, guys. But what if I bought him that? I bought him the Flamin' Hot shampoo, which actually does have Cheeto in it. Really? Wow. That can't be good for your hair. No, that cannot be. But it's also shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste. It tastes like Cheetos, bro. It's a seven in one.

And then a steak sauce, yeah. Now, that would actually legitimately be Cheeto. There's been a bunch of people that just, like, copy our videos or bits and will send them to Evan. Or if it's, like, something that Evan does on the channel and it's people ripping it off. And he really doesn't like that. He really gets fired up. So just, like, as a joke, we all just, like, send these videos to Evan.

And he's just always like, dude, so fucking Cheetos, bro. He's going to send those guys a box of Cheetos. Yeah. Anyway, it's funny. I love that term, though, Cheetos. I think it's perfect. Like, that's such a good term. It is. Like, you can kind of assume, even if it's your first time hearing it, like, probably not good. But it's not mean. It's just self-explanatory enough.

He has so many legendary ones. Have you been keeping track of them? I wrote down some. Evan has the best things. Damn, I wish he was here. I know. I don't know. Do you have like a solid? I mean, I have like 10. Pretty solid list. Some of them are probably ones you have. Yeah. But yeah, we say Cheeto now and we're like, it's fully adopted from Evan and jammed up. You probably heard him say that before. Jammed up when you're in trouble or you're in a predicament with, mostly with your girl. Jammed up. Yeah.

And then we got cripes. That's not something Evan invented, but like Evan brought that to life. He kind of brought that back. I feel like my mom used to say cripes back in the day or criminy maybe. I don't know. Cripers, creepers. No, Jiminy, Jiminy. Yeah, or Nick. There you go. Like if he is like trying to turn something around and then like ended up bumping over a log or something, he'd be like, ah, Jimmy. Jimmy. Jimmy.

And he always calls his pants trousers. Classic. And then his go-to is just like, if he's got a shit, he's just like, I got a shit. I'm about to pile up my shorts. Pile it up. Pile it up in my trousers. Yeah. Yeah. And then my personal favorite that he just made as soon as the dollar general popped up in Cormorant, he's like, yeah, running down to the dollar genital.

grab a couple frozen pizzas or the liquor barn yeah the liquor barn so last night grab a crisper yeah he calls coolers crispers last night when I was leaving he says don't let your meatloaf I go see you guys don't let your meatloaf what does that mean

Don't let your meatloaf... It's just like a funny... I think I have an idea what it means. Don't let your meatloaf... I should be getting laid that night. That's by my girl, obviously.

Don't let your meatloaf, it starts loafing, I'd assume. Is loafing like laying around? Maybe. It's not being put to use, it goes bad? I think it's just a fun thing to say. Well, that's kind of what I took it as. I went straight to business when I got home. I was like, Evan told me not to let my meatloaf. You have to let them down. Here it is!

No way. I just typed in don't let your meatloaf. Urban dictionary. Here it is. Urban dictionary. A sexual expression one guy says to another guy or group of guys when he is leaving. Oh, wow. The response by the other guy is usually something like don't let your bag drag or don't let your carrot stick.

It's a saying. No, no. It's a sexual expression. One guy says to another guy. So it's true. But I don't think it means what you just stated. I think it's just referring to his junk. So just don't let your meatloaf. Maybe it means like

I don't know. Maybe it means just like keep it clean. That was interesting though. Can you imagine like Evan one day reading that on Urban Dictionary and then that's why he says it? He's like, yeah, it's just something you say. No, the reason he says everything is just like the environment that he grew up in. Yeah, his geography. It's just so Northwoods. Here it is right here. He answered the question. It is a vulgar saying suggesting you have more sex. Wow. There you go.

Don't let your meat off. I was right. You were right. That's all I got to say. No, I mean, that's literally it. You were right. We got to double check with the source himself though. Evan, we got more when he's on this podcast. Yeah. Keep going. Another. And some of these are something he says like every single day and other ones he just said once that are super funny, but yeah,

Uh, we're hitting golf balls into the pond and he's just like, Oh geez, you're going to have a turtle sucking on that ball. I just died. I was like, dude, where'd that come from? Every time he farts, he's like, Oh, that one's drier than a popcorn fart. And that actually is referring to anything that maybe should be wet, but is dry.

You're checking the oil on your bike. There's no oil in it. Drier than a popcorn fart. Yeah. He calls butts hinders. Yep. Tight hinders. The hinder finder. That's why we put hinder finder on like the back of his race car. I guess. Northern top. Yeah. Like moral of the story is he is, he is our version of Ricky from trailer park boys. Like he's got a lot, he's got a lot and we roll with it and we love it and we can't get enough of it. The secret lingo of Evan. Yeah. We've picked up a lot of it.

it for sure. The Ricky-isms. I'll say them. I think jammed up is one that I'll throw into a thing and I've had a couple people. Even your dad. Your dad started saying it, I'm saying. Really? It's just crazy. You start saying it and everyone else, it's a very... It's easy to pick up. You can get jammed up by many things. You get pulled over on your way to...

to go out to eat with everyone. Yeah, he got jammed up, so he's going to be a little late. Yeah, or even like you're at work, you got a lot of stuff to do, you're jammed up at work. Jammed up is just a universal thing. I'm home late now, yeah. Yeah, it's good stuff, man. Now you guys got me all nervous about the stay Dorito or the Dorito thing. About whether or not to or to. Just whether to speak in general. I was thinking today,

I've been trying to improve small talk. I was against small talk. I was like, cancel small talk. I said that last year. I've come around that you can't get away from it. So now I'm out to improve it. I've started by when you see somebody, even if you maybe have met them for the first time or if you're not sure, and Siege actually was the one that really implemented this, and it was the good to see you, not the how are you. Good to see you. It's a good to see you. I guess I ripped that at the end.

quite a bit, but that is a great line. It's also, yeah, it's a good instead of nice to meet you or how are you? It's a good to see you because then you don't have the question where they go, good, how about you? And you go, good. And then it's just a dead end. You never go anywhere from there. That is the holy grail

shitty small talk yeah exactly that's just the worst start to the to the conversation then you go into the how are yous and all that so today at aldi started off with a just a nice morning and i went to pick up my muffins and orange juice and there was an old guy and we were uh walking past each other in the door and i said have a good one and he said stay warm out there i said that's a that's a nice alternative to saying goodbye so like summer you maybe say stay frosty

What's some other things you could say as let's go with...

Don't let your meatloaf. Don't let your meatloaf is a great example of that. But I don't have good. None of mine are good. I am the inventor of we'll be seeing you. We'll be seeing you. We'll be seeing you, Steve. None of those make sense. If I don't see you, Merry Christmas. That's a good one. That's a classic. I love that one. Say that in the middle of summer. If there's a time and a place for it. Yeah, exactly. That one lets them think. And they just go, man, what was that guy? That would really throw someone off if it's like,

april and you said that to them yeah i might start putting that one in the rotation and it's a valid thing to say like if i don't see you have a merry christmas or tell your family merry christmas for me you explaining this to greta and greta's like i'm gonna see you tomorrow okay well i don't know i would hate to just leave on a bad note yeah you're like that's what you wanted me to know if you like

disappeared tomorrow. Merry Christmas. I think... At least you got the holidays covered. The thing about small talk is it's always difficult and it's always difficult on both ends. I don't think...

you know, one person feels it and the other one doesn't. I just always, always just try and find like some form of like common ground. And a lot of times we, you know, hang out with fellow degenerates or like surround ourselves with fellow degenerates. And you just say something, you know,

Or bring up an event that is like, you know, while he's a degenerate, he'll think this is funny or something like that. Usually it just like kind of breaks down the barrier. So you think taking a little limb out is a good idea? I think so. Yeah. Extending the olive branch of degeneracy. Yeah, pretty much.

I'm always riding the fine line of, like, obviously oversharing the whole, why are you telling me this? I'm riding that. You guys see it. There's two. But. You can't overshare too much. You just have to say, like, I always just try and just, like, make some kind of joke and then maybe, like, hit them and, like, laugh and then they'll laugh. They're just confused. Yeah. But, like, as time goes on, I've gotten better at it. But not sit there and fucking waste the dude's time saying, what?

something that is going to end with, why are you telling me this? Yeah. I mean, no one actually says that. I don't think anyone actually says that. I'd love it if they did, but no, I've gotten better at it. And Sydney was saying, she's like, every time you meet someone in the airport or like wherever, I never know if you,

if you know them really well or if you don't know them at all, not never know, but just a social butterfly. That's a good thing. Like if you can, if you can treat someone like someone else is watching you and you like the, yeah, they think that you're good friends and pretty good interaction. Yeah, that's good for sure. You are like that. I love every fans.

Yeah. I mean, you just love meeting people. Dude, meeting a fan is like, that's easy. It's so easy. Yeah. You know, you're right. Cause it really is. It's one of the easiest things there. I try to always give, we all do the best experience because I met a guy that I really looked up to Vegas, Matt.

I met him in Vegas. It was my true, it was my first true starstruck moment. I walk around the corner. There he is at the Raiders game. This guy high stakes gambles all the time. I'm a big fan. I love gambling. It's great. I can watch him win or lose. I get the itch scratch, but I don't have to do it.

And I was stoked to meet him and really always wanted to. I'd even send him a DM. I was like, Hey man, we're in Vegas. Would love to just, just know, you know, like wherever you're at, like it'd be cool to meet you, you know? Cause he does that. He's out and about no response. That's okay.

So he goes, yeah, it's cool. He was great to talk to. And I was so stoked. I was like, this is awesome. And he goes, you know what? I actually need a picture with some Vikings fans as you guys are playing the Raiders today. I go, yeah, that'd be great. So I'm like, it's so cool. I get to be in a picture with him. So all the four of us, you two, Grandpa Ron, hop in a picture. He's going to post on Snapchat. So I'm all excited. I'm refreshing. Waits to post until after the game. I look and he cropped me out of it. Yeah. I was so excited.

I was heartbroken, dude. That was pretty funny. And you think he did it on purpose? No, I think he just did it because there was only so many people you could fit in the picture, and he went, who's funnier, these two or who's cooler? Was it me and Ben in it? Yeah, you two and Grandpa Ron. I just kind of knew who he was, but I didn't really know what he looked like. And then by the time I think I turned around and he was asking to take a picture with us, I thought he was like a fuck. Oh, you were like, oh, okay.

And then you explained to me. I was like, wow, that's crazy. Is that why you posted the picture of me, you, and him on your Instagram, but you didn't tag him? Yeah, I needed to. To really just show it to him? I needed a picture for the carousel, but I didn't want to tag him. Unreal. Well, guys.

It's a good time. Hopefully the listeners enjoyed it because I had fun. Yeah, I do love chatting with you guys. And we're getting back in the swing of filming things. We got one video segment filmed under our belt. We got another one coming up in a day or two that we're going to run. And we're getting back in the swing of things. 2024, baby. Chug, chug. Stay tuned to watch the shoe grinds. And thank you for 200,000 subscribers. Let's go. We're going up.

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 the Fisher House, the foundation, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher took care of all that years ago, following their dream to make our reality that we were together and we could be treated here. It's a great blessing.

I was in the Army Guard, and then I went into the Air Force, and then I met Juanita. Because of family's love. It's good medicine.
