Well, welcome back, guys. Life Wide Open podcast. I don't even know what number this is. We've been doing it for years, but we have a special guest on. If not the most frequent guest of the Life Wide Open podcast, Jacob Sherbrooke. Hey.

Thanks, boys. I got something right away, okay? All right. I was scrolling TikTok literally right before I came here, and you guys have a video going viral right now. Really? Yeah. It's our own video? I know. I, for a second, thought you guys posted. I'm like, oh, this isn't even their account. It's got like 4.2, 4.5 million views. I'm going to airplay it right there. Your mom's boyfriend. That's me, baby.

You would name your phone that. Yeah, no, it's dynamite, dude. Because every time I airdrop someone at the airport, it's like your mom's boyfriend wants to airdrop you a photo. Let's click on random people. You could be doing that, too. Okay, here we go. I beg Kylie Jenner. It says for those who... I beg Kim K. Hey.

Oh my god. 4.2 million views. Holy shit, Mike. It's got a ton of likes, too. 177,000 people like that. Holy shit.

This is pretty well known. What are the comments? What are the comments? Look, 4.2 billion. Wait, did you post that? No, no. No, you liked it. I liked it. Okay, that is freaking funny. Holy fuck. Whoa, the top comment at Ryan's sister.

Oh, man. First his sister, Micah. Now his Hummer. I did say that one time. That's pretty wild. Of all the things I was expecting, it was not that. Same. I was not expecting that either. Dude, I love how it goes kind of hard, too. Dude, I was kind of getting hyped up. And then some villain music. It takes you a second, too, of like, okay.

Okay, Mike dot dot dot. I love how they found it. How many likes is this or views does this have? Yeah, that's absurd. 4.5 million. 4.2 million. But there's 177,000 likes, which means that many people must have got the joke. Got the joke. That's amazing. Like, you wouldn't like it unless you got the joke. That's true. That's pretty awesome. That is true. Holy shit. There's,

there's another there's an instagram reel that this guy posted a while ago and it's it's uh like a crotch rocket and then it's got like a for sale sign and then it's just like above it it says like when the c boys show up to buy your crotch rocket and evan's already got his helmet on the guy's like running away with the for sale sign and it's got a ton of likes and i was just like that's so funny that like there's that many people out there that just get the joke yeah and like

We're on the inside? Yeah, it's like an inside joke that almost... That just a large amount of people understand. That's what's crazy. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I'm not hating on his content at all. Like, this is a trend. But, like, I don't really understand the whole, like...

Owning bikes And then making reels But like not ever Riding the bikes Like he obviously rides But he only posts Videos of him Like doing like skits And they're all Very funny Just with a dirt bike But yeah Just like with a dirt bike And it's just like Live memes I don't know Mike you got plenty of bikes That you don't ride

Yeah, I guess. But like, I'm not just posting videos like next to him, but like, like again, they're funny. Can't have a tripod filming you when you're riding. True. I mean, you could actually, but maybe not as easy. Well, I was not expecting it to take that direction. That was, I was, I thought what you were going to bring up is that we're also going slightly viral on Tik TOK. We started our first trend. Oh,

on TikTok. It has to do with you two, actually. Ben and I? Yes. Oh, kids are shaving their heads? Kids are shaving their heads. Let's go. We got some emails, too, that were just like, yo, I love Grandpa Ron. I want to support. I'm going to shave my head. No way. Send some pics. This is the first guy. Good old Chris. Let's go, Chris. He did it. Nice. Did it for Grandpa Ron. Looking good, Chris. Like that. And then we got this guy here. Amazing. This is great.

Wow, this guy's this guy's that big of a fan that he's gonna shave his head, but he spelled C boys wrong Well, he was just excited dude, this is dude we need to send this to grandpa Ron he's gonna absolutely love that Thank you guys. That is really nice. So then this kid no way He looks tough. He's he did like a trend that he was like if I get a hundred likes I'll shave my head. It's at 69 The updates damn dude

You look good, too. What the frick, dude? Kids with shaved heads look great. I know, dude. And then there's another one, too, that says put a flag next to your name for Grandpa Ron and a ton of people. Wow. So Grandpa Ron is really... Dude, that's crazy. We need to send them those. That's pretty cool. That is really cool. The last video has a couple thousand comments on it. Let's just say 3,000 comments on it. And we still...

we saw my grandpa on the next day after like the video went live and there was already like 2,500 comments on it. And he said he had read every single one of them. I love that. Cause he was asking me and CJ about it. He was like, Hey, did you see that comment about that guy from Pennsylvania that said he was willing to drive up here and shave his head? And I was like, Oh,

I think I missed that one, Grandpa. And he's like, oh, okay. Well, what about this one? And I was like, wow, you've been reading all the comments? And he's like, all 2,500 of them? Yeah. Yeah, you remember the number, too, dude. Does he have, does he do it on his phone? Or does he, like, sit down at the computer? I think he sits down, like, on the video and is just, you know. Just scrolls through. Yeah, refreshing it. Probably helps with the views. But, yeah, no, I read the comments. I just, it takes me sometimes, you know, a day or two to get around all of them. Get through all of them.

you know, we're doing other things, but when it's a good video, it's like my favorite part after you finish up the video and then you get to like hyped up from like all the people. Everyone's loving it. I agree. Yeah. So we appreciate you guys commenting. There was more comments than I thought about me not shaving my head.

It was pretty bogus, Ryan. Those guys don't even know Grandpa Ron, but you were in the same room and decided to opt out. Well, I didn't just opt out. I just feel like your friend group can only have so many bald guys. That's true. And I didn't want to steal any thunder from what you two as family members were doing. That's very true. So it wasn't that I was trying to be selfish.

You know what, Ryan? That's a great answer, and I'm going to let you slide now. You're in the clear. I honestly, Ryan, I didn't entirely blame you. I got a messed up head. No, just, yeah, dude, try and change his head, and we're like, oh, my God, your head is so big, dude. Yeah, you don't really realize how big someone's head is until they're bald. That's all you have to look at.

Ryan has such an insanely big head. He can't wear hats. His head is so big. But you don't really notice. It's just all proportionate. Respectfully. He's got it all covered up with hair. I am looking right now, though. Ew.

- Quit looking at my head, dude. - It's a heavy head. - Yeah. - But no, I didn't fully blame you either, but yeah, people were cooking you in the comments. - Yeah, that'll happen. - And Grandpa Ron loved that too. He thought that was funny. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Boy, they're pretty fired up about Ryan. - Yeah, he brought it up like four times.

You come here to get your head shaved yet, Ryan? I think Grandpa Ron has almost turned into like America's grandpa. Everyone just loves him. Like, I've only met him twice, and I feel like I know the guy first name basis, and I'd go over to his house and just like have a beer with him every Saturday if I could. You and Grandpa Ron are like very similar in that way, though, of like you've met someone once, and you're already like their best friend. Like some people just have that characteristic about them where like,

You don't even really know that much, but maybe you have like one like special moment shared together. And then it's like, you're like always dapping each other. You're like doing that shit. And so, yeah, I think you guys, you guys would definitely be, be good homies. But yeah, America's grandpa. Yeah. It is cool. Yeah. It's been fun to like,

be able to, like, showcase Grandpa Ron with the world because me and CJ, you know, obviously, like, we grew up with him and we always thought he was, like, so funny and, like, so special. Like, you know, the things that he would say and do. But, you know, it's like...

everyone i have the funniest uncle or i have the funniest grandpa uh but we've been able to like capture it in a way and share you know the essence of grandpa ron with the world and it seems like everyone agrees and and uh you know can rally behind them he's even funnier in person though yeah because like yeah dude especially like in his older age like the last couple years like he's gotten more savage

It seems to happen. And, dude, it's like half the shit he says. Like, we can't. Like, we have to just cut out the video and, like, have our editor sign an NDA to our new filmer, Dalton, when he introduced himself on the video. But, like, dude, you can't repeat what he's saying. Like, he's in a different world. I love that. He's so savage. Yeah.

Honestly, kind of some legendary family members are like Uncle Buck. I call him my Uncle Buck too. You kind of got all the bases covered between everybody in this room. He's just known as Grandpa Ron. People come up to him in public. They go, Grandpa Ron, can we get a picture? Exactly. America's Grandpa, dude. Yeah, imagine getting Uncle Buck and Grandpa Ron together. Does it happen? No. No, they're on two separate sides of the family. I figured he might as well. Yeah, my Grandpa Ron is my mom's.

stepdad technically and then my uh uncle buck is my dad's brother so like two two opposite ends two incredibly interesting characters in themselves and somehow i'm in the middle you want the universe to explode make that happen yeah no it's so funny some people you make a character and some people are are natural born characters yeah jacob you finally did it i did it dude you want to race yeah

It was honestly like... Yeah, congrats on that. The most fun thing in the whole world. Yeah. So Jake went down to the Indy 800 or something like that, won a Cletus' race, and he raced in the Grand Prix. Yeah.

And somehow won the damn thing, dude. On foot, baby. It couldn't have been a better ending. Yeah, so explain this to me. I just saw the one clip of you running across the finish line. Ricky Bobby style. Yeah, with the Ricky Bobby song in the back. So basically like the VanPrix, there's like, you guys are there. You saw there's a jump basically that you have to hit one time. It's like the Joker lane, right? So it kind of gives everybody a fair play to make passes and stuff. VanPrix and you're in a minivan. Yeah.

Yeah, they're like the ultimate race car. Can you hit the jump more than once? Yeah, you can hit it as many times as you want. Some people are just hitting it to hit it. But it's like one and done usually? Yeah, one and done. If you hit it big enough. If you hit it big enough. Like there was a guy on the first lap, Jim, he just sent it clear across the other side and his whole front of his van ripped off. So he's done. So do you have a video of you hitting it? Yeah, I actually do. The thing about the VanPrix is like, so everyone's obviously there for like...

like the crown vic thing so the van brie is kind of more the show but it's still a race you know like deep down inside right for me it's race yeah people are loving it yeah oh yeah people were loving it and so we have like headphones in and they're like you know like hey you guys better be putting on a show people are loving this yeah so i'm just like well i'm just gonna keep freaking booting this ramp then i guess oh you kept booting yeah i mean yeah so did the other guy with me the guy um

uh robbie he was just i think he hit the ramp robbie layton yeah yeah no he's crazy dude he does demo derbies so yeah yeah we met him in utah and he was showing me videos of demo derbies and i was like there's something wrong with you like every single person in the vanpree the only reason they're there one bolt is just slightly they scour the nation and and everyone is pre-selected yeah

Yeah. So Jim York, he was the guy that was driving the limo and he drove it through the RV clean through and kept going. Incredible. I've always said that guy's got a screw loose, right? So I saw a post that he made when he was like announcing like the lineup of everyone that was in this Grand Prix or Van Prix. Sorry. And,

And he said, Jake Sherbrooke, arguably crazier than I am. And I was like, well. That's a hell of a compliment. Yeah, that's quite a statement because that guy is crazy. So congratulations on that. I wasn't expecting that. So did everybody's van break?

Yeah, everybody's van broke down. Like, every lap, they'd be like, oh, there's another van, another lap. Oh, there's another van. And there was 10 vans, 10 laps. And by the last two laps, it was just me and Robbie. And I'm like, dude, this is great. You're like, I could possibly do this, dude. I'm like doing this thing. And they're like, make sure you put on a show, like, on the last corner. So we both just side by side. And we come around the last corner, and they both die. And I'm, like, looking around. I'm like, what are the odds?

No one's going to finish. And I'm like, oh, my gosh. I'm going to run, dude. What a crazy start. I'm drunk, and I just full sprinted. Was he running? Oh, yeah. Afterwards, like, he saw me, like, sprint by him. And I just saw him try and get out with seatbelts still on. Oh, that's hilarious. Oh, that's funny. Ryan, you should have ran when your car died on the 99th lap. Ryan gets hit, though. Just hit at, like, 70 mile an hour by a car.

on a race track. So my question for you, Jake, or let's watch this video first. I actually might only have like a video of a video, but I got to show you. Like any good jump. Yeah. Yeah.

Bro, there's a million cameras going. I know. But this is basically the jump, like, right here. Jesus, dude. Yeah, I was loving this, dude. Wow. That was a big send. Just a flat. How fast are you hitting these at? I don't know. I was just holding it wicked. Dude, so my people watching might not think that that's a big send, but, like, F.

As somebody who is even driven around like a rally track, like on our track. With a landing. Yeah, with a landing. Getting like three feet off the air in any vehicle is insanely aggressive. Like you got to keep in mind, these things have no suspension pretty much.

They have this much suspension, but it gets used up in the first three inches, and then you're coming down another two and a half feet. You were in the air for so long. I have the GoPro video. It's so funny. I can literally count, and everything in the van starts slowly coming up. Also, when I was in the air, there was someone next to me.

His mirror comes like through my window and it's just floating in slow motion. What? And when I land, like my head hits the ceiling, my wheel or my hands get ripped off the wheel and the steering wheel gets like bent upside down. Jeez, so weird. And the best part...

After I get back on the straightaway, I just casually fix my mirror. It is the best thing in the whole world. Jake, you kind of built for that, though. I feel like you've been training for that, dude. I honestly thought about it. I'm pretty comfy. Everyone's like, are you nervous about the ramp? I was just like, I don't think so. The first time I hit it,

It hurt pretty bad. So that was my question. It has, like, does it hurt? Not, like, I should say it hurts, but, like, you're in it to win it, but the next day. It hurts. Yeah, like, the adrenaline is so high, you're just like, yeah, I'm doing this. I mean, there's no way that doesn't hurt. Do you have harnesses, or are you just, like, standard seatbelt? No, it's just seatbelt, pull out the windows, and that's it. There's no roll cage, no nothing. Such an aggressive landing, man. Yeah, no fire suits. It's a...

Oh my god. Yes. Yes. Oh my...

That was magical. What a moment, dude. Oh, my God, dude. It was electric, dude. You couldn't have planned it any better. After that, I had so many people reach out. I think you're maybe the only person to actually pull off the real-life Ricky Bobby. That's hilarious. Well, Jake, you kind of got a...

A little bit of a history of jumping vans. Back in the day, Micah had this blue... Blue van. Blue van. What kind of van was that? GMC? Chevy, like... Like 80s model though, right? We actually used Mike's van quite a bit. We had a couch in the back. And then when we had to use it for work, we would, you know, pull the couch out and put merch in there or something like that. Dirt bikes. Dirt bikes, yeah. Snowmobiles. Snowmobiles, yeah. So we went out and we bought this Maverick, like a Can-Am Maverick. And...

We, for some reason, didn't feel comfortable jumping the Maverick. Cause the Maverick was all the money the company had. Yeah. We can't really make no sense. We were like, well, cause we wanted to jump the Maverick over the van. Yeah. And,

And we were like, well, we can't afford to break the Maverick. So what if we jumped the van over the Maverick? That was our reasoning behind it. And the van took it so well. Like when you watch the GoPro, it was so smooth, I remember. Well, that was a great jump. Because when you have a landing, that helps. It was a proper car jump. Like lift off to land. That really was. Whatever happened to that jump? It just got plowed? I don't know.

it's still there. I think it is just deteriorated over there. It's completely overgrown. Yeah. I just love how we, there was like $25,000 machine, perfect suspension. We're like, it cannot make this eight foot jump. We definitely knew it could make it, but like, sad to say we were all, yeah, not confident enough. It was like, well, it was like the risk. With our luck though, it would have just,

We had to loan on the thing, I think. We didn't own it. We had to loan on it. Yeah, we can't total this out. Not that it would have, but who knows. That was like our first and only jump for the longest time. What did we do with that van? Oh, we chopped the roof off of it. And we made it into a hot tub. That was fun. We could pull up a few different pictures of it. I have some pictures of like

in the sunrise or sunset or something and it was all foggy and you're in the back wearing like a Ted bear costume. Oh yeah. We had the van so we had to use it. It was, I'm surprised you don't have another one. I keep talking about it. You might get one, but I've thought about it, but like, I just don't have a use for it anymore.

anymore besides that it's cool yeah well i mean we had i just had the no can do van for a while yeah i just had a snap memory come up and uh you had gotten the van when we were living in the college house and it was you coming out of the van in the morning looking groggy and hung over as fun go mike spent the first night in the van he got locked out of the house oh yeah that's right did

That's right. There was like this couch in it. Mike peed on it. Oh, that was the first couch. Actually, I had a nice couch in the back. Yeah, okay. So Mike was at this party and he peed on this couch.

That's how you obtain them. And the family made them buy the couch. Which is valid. So it ended up in the van. It was like a nice couch. It was a cool couch. It was worth more than the van. It was worth more than the van.

That's crazy. Yeah, it was. It was actually a nice couch. It was cleaned as best as I could clean it, I guess. And then Dave wanted to do some like trick or treating. He wasn't doing it. He wanted to post up between the roadhouse. Yeah, yeah. Jake's dad. And he goes, no one trick or treats around here. I'm just going to like post up at the end of this road. And then anyone driving by can like come get candy. I don't know.

Honestly, it was like... It was fun. No, it was fun, but the thought process behind a guy dressed up as the Easter Bunny on Halloween with a giant light plant just sitting on a random couch on a gravel road. On a gravel road, yeah. Like, how many people are going to stop? Come on. Yeah, I'm going to stop and see if this guy is kidding. And a huge dude dressed up as a rabbit. So he asked Mike if he could use his couch, and then he, like, didn't feel like he could...

He could get it into his truck that night, so he just left it, and then someone stole it. Dude, somebody in the area has got to have that couch, though, and they probably think that it's like a nice couch, which it is a nice couch, but little do they know how it ended up in the position that it was. Yeah.

They're probably sitting on it right now. Yeah. We'll watch this. It's like a black felt couch. You would have found it on a gravel road in 2019. On number four. So random. Bye.

Between the roadhouse and the corn run store. If you're sitting on that couch, just know Mike wants it back. He stole that. Yeah, that couch is hot. Ah, screw it. I got to get another one. Get it, Mike. No, I would love to have a moto van, but we travel as a pack, so it doesn't really make sense. Yeah, Mike gets a moto van for when he's going to the track. Yeah.

Down the road. A hundred feet down the road. That'd be so funny. Oh, so you put the retractable bed in it. Yeah, you know, just to keep it safe. I want to have some hot dogs or something. Yeah, you should get a motor van, Mike, and then have like a little pop-out hot dog cooker. Yeah, you could turn it into a food truck. Money Mike's Hot Dogs. I would actually get a hot dog from something called Money Mike's Hot Dogs. You'd be like, what the fuck? Yeah, Mike, you should start selling hot dogs. Cornbread Days. Yeah.

Gold flaked hot dogs. Money Mike's. Yeah, you could do gold flakes and it would just be like, it could just be like spray painted tinfoil. Yeah, I was just saying instead of gold flakes, you just take like a candy wrapper that's like gold. I'd pay 20 bucks to buy a hot dog from that. If you just had a dope logo, I'd just go and buy one. Like you had like money and then like hot dogs and like

It'd just be funny and then just be like, you know, a guy named Mike. You don't even need to know him. The logo could be like a guy with money guns, but he's shooting hot dogs out of them. Oh, yes. Just raining money on them. Kimbo hot dog shooters. If you're ever wondering, like, how do these guys come up with all these things to do? Very similar to this little brainstorming session. Honestly, this...

We'll probably end up doing this. Yeah, at some point. Like, we will end up doing that. I just was on Facebook Marketplace, and I saw a hot dog maker for sale. It's going to be, like, literally right here. What about a hot dog gun? Like, can we get that? I don't know if they make those, but I'm sure we could make one. We should make one, yeah. T-shirt cannon, fill it full of six dogs. Mike's out on, like, a hot summer day on the boat shooting hot dogs into people's boats. That would be legit, too, eh?

10 racks for a hot dog stand? What is this? It's a full-blown business, dude. Oh, Mike, you can put a couch in there. You can spend the night. Mike, buy that, bro. Put it out at the track, dude. Mike, buy that, dude. That thing is

You gotta buy that, Mike. Buy it, Mike. Send that to Mike. Send that to Mike. Okay. I could live in there. So, like, it's definitely worth it. The only problem is Mike would be eating his own supply. Get high on your own supply, buddy. I'm pretty sure that's... Mike goes bankrupt because he eats all his hot dogs. Can't help himself. Dude, he goes broke in three days. Mike just gains an absurd amount of weight. We're just like, all right.

All right, we got to help him out. How many hot dogs have you eaten in the last 48 hours, Mike? And he's like, well, half of them were hamburgers. And we're like, no, they weren't. They were just an hamburger bun. You're just lying to yourself, Mike. Okay, well, if you count the hamburgers, then...

573. Holy, I'm not Joey Chestnut. I was going to say like 50. I envision Mike turning into that guy playing video games in his basement on South Park. Just super. That's Cartman. That guy. Whatever. Bashroom. Bashroom.

This dude loves hot dogs, bro. I've just learned to just go with it. Because I seriously don't know what you're talking about. Because I seriously don't eat that many hot dogs. You just had one came on here. That was a brat. Oh, my God. See what we deal with? Yeah. I'm going to get you on that technicality. That's a cousin to a hot dog. Yeah, absolutely. They're both meat-filled circular...

Ken out of nowhere. Yeah, true. Damn, Ken, when did you get here? I feel like we've had this conversation. How many times have we talked about hot dogs? It's going to happen. This podcast revolves around hot dogs, Tesla, watches. Bitcoin. I feel like we haven't talked about those as much as we've talked about hot dogs. You guys used to bore the crap out of me with your crap.

Finally, something Mike's passionate about. We've been talking about crypto a long time. Mike is a Johnsonville aficionado. Bro, how do we get Mike sponsored by Johnsonville Brats? I love that. Yeah, there's like a reel going around that was like, tag your dream sponsor. And I tagged Johnsonville Meats. Everyone's like, what? And then I'm pretty sure it says that on my TikTok bio too. Sponsors are like D. Walt and Johnsonville Brats. Speaking of sponsors...

We're sponsoring a couple kids to go through college. Mike is wearing the sweatshirt. Oh, yeah. Dude, that's so awesome. I saw that when I was gone. That's freaking cool, you guys. Yeah. How'd it happen or what? We got a scholarship. I think it's launched now, but it's called just the C-Boys TV Life Wide Open Scholarship. And it's for like auto tech.

Auto body. Auto body. And then power sports. Okay. So basically, like, you know, we donated a certain amount of money. Was there someone that was able to match it? Yeah, basically the combined sum was like $60,000. Okay.

uh, donation. Yeah. So that, that should help get, I'd imagine a few kids all the way through, uh, their schooling. And then, you know, we just like the tech tech schools because you go there, you learn an actual skill and then you have a job already waiting for you when you get out and you're already contributing to the community. Right. You know, and there's nothing wrong with going to a four year school, whatever, but we just felt like that,

that resonated a little better with us. So yeah, it aligns with kind of what we stand for and the things that we do. And who knows, maybe we'll, we'll hire some of these, these kids as they learn more and more. Cause I did kind of feel like a college, like baseball scout walking around. I was like, I was like looking, I'm like, all right, who's got potential here. Yeah.

Yeah, dude, it was funny, dude. All those kids, though, like, they're literally kids. They're 18. I know, it made me feel old. But, dude, it turned into kind of like a little bit of a riot.

We were just kind of surrounded and we were signing stuff and taking pictures. All these kids are doing burnouts and shit. The president's there and he's looking around and then they're like, next kid that does a burnout. And then our kid starts doing a burnout and then the freaking cops come. They're sitting there trying to patrol. It started out like, let's go.

go. I'm pretty sure. And then it ended with us being like, man, we didn't tell the guys like we didn't tell him to do that. And it was funny though, because I didn't realize the president and like all those people were there. And then these kids are doing a burnout. I'm kind of, you know, watching whatever. And then I see the cops come. I go, oh shit, the cops are here. And they totally heard me.

And, uh, but yeah, I mean, we didn't tell him to do it, but it was, it was a really good time. Honestly. So, uh, I would recommend, and yes, yes, it was a cool school. It was a nice campus too. Well, dude, they named, uh, like one of their classrooms after us. Uh,

No. A restroom. I have my own men's restroom. It depends who you're asking. It could be a classroom for Ken. In the plumbing department, they have no can-do men's restroom. It's in the plumbing department? Yes, in the plumbing department. That's awesome. That was part of the deal. If we were going to donate...

Proper shits 101. That's so awesome, dude. Well, yeah, I mean, if you're a race car driver, you should know how to work on your engine, right? Right. If you're Ken, you should know how to work on a toilet. You can't just be blowing them out and not fixing them. Yeah. You break it, you fix it. So anyway, Ken's looking for an intern, actually. He just hires someone. Yeah.

There's a guy building just full mod toilets down here. Mod toilets. This thing will flush anything. It flushes hard and fast. I'm pretty sure the intern in the description is just like,

You will just follow behind me and clean up my mess. Have you seen that? It was like a meme that America will use anything to measure except for whatever. This toilet will flush 12 pool balls. That seems good, right? And then the other one's like a bucket full of golf balls. How many golf balls will mine flush? Have any of you guys ever broken a toilet from shitting too big? Do you know anyone that's ever done that?

I haven't been there. I got the plumber on call. He stops by once a week. He's just on a subscription service. He knows after Taco Tuesday to just show up.

To me, a toilet is a maintenance item. Something you need to replace on the weekly. Dude, speaking of maintenance items, we got done at NDSCS and we were driving home and Ryan was driving the Unicorn. Dalton, our filmer, is riding with me and we're behind him. And Dalton goes, does that rear wheel look like it's shaking a little bit to you? And I'm like, yeah, yeah.

It might have been doing that before, though. And he was like, it looks pretty bad. So I call Ryan and I go, hey, bro, you're like rear wheel is shaking pretty bad right now. You should probably pull over. Meanwhile, Evan and I have been in the car the whole time. And this noise has been getting louder. We thought it was like some slop in the drivetrain, maybe from all the drifting and ripping the brake and stuff like that. We're like, oh, I guess that's just what it is.

And so as Ben calls me, I look out the passenger window or the driver's side window and see two lug nuts flying down the highway next to the car. And we just go, oh, shit, dude. So we we pull up next to him and we're like looking right next to him at the wheel. And we're like, dude.

You're missing all of your lug nuts. There was no lug nuts left in it. And the only thing that was left in it was the actual lug itself with a lug nut in it. Like it broke the lug off of it. Yeah. So it had worked all of them out and it was just sitting on probably, you got a video of it. It's sitting on like, like two threads, like around the entire wheel a little bit. Evan was like, it's so

Fucked. There's no way that it's ever going to be fixed. It's so fucked. Just some new studs. Yeah, new studs, bro. I was like, I don't know. It doesn't seem that bad, dude. It doesn't seem that bad, dude. Dude, I think if that wheel had come off, it would have totaled her out. It would have been bad. It would have been so bad, bro. I was also doing like 65 on a county highway. Yeah, you could have potentially slid into the ditch. You could have. I was concerned. But also just the fact of it dropping. Shh.

Would not have been good on the body. Well, it would have taken out the fender flare, too. Fender flare, side skirts. The fender flare is like... You can't just order a new fender flare for this thing. Like, everything on it is custom. The wrap would be messed up. Everything. It would have been an absolute nightmare. So what was the deal? It just wasn't torqued down or what? We had taken those wheels off a couple times and it just...

Didn't have enough dug a dug on the last one, putting it back on. One thing that I've like learned is like taking wheels on and off. I like drive it around and then retorque them. Cause I've like literally had that same thing where it's just like wobble. I'm like, dude, can you imagine just flying around a corner and you had like a wheel actually fly off? Like it would be bad news. Probably suck. Speaking of which me and Ryan just had something kind of similar happen the other day. Oh yeah. What's up with that? I don't know what's been going on, but like there's, I have a curse.

I have this ongoing joke. It's kind of everybody's joke that we're going to roll up to Zorba's and it was like the first time I was going to drive my car to Zorba's and Ryan was there. Big moment. Big moment. Which is like our local pizza establishment. Jake waits like an extra 10 minutes. Let's everyone get their order and get settled in. So that way he's like, okay, perfect. Everyone should be at their seat. Let me just explain this. Okay. So there's like a little outdoor patio.

Right? So you order your food and you sit and you wait for your food in this outdoor patio. But it's right on the corner. So there's like two roads that come together. It's like the perfect spot to like kind of come hooning in. And everyone on this outdoor patio is sitting there like basically on the road. Looking at you. Looking at you. Right? And so Jake, for the longest time, is like...

Dude, imagine rolling up to Zorba's in this, and that's what he was saying when we first got the Mustang, the Hoonicorn. He was like, dude, this is going to be so sick to roll up to Zorba's. And then when he did his exhaust on his Mustang, he was like, bro, you're going to hear me roll up to Zorba's? It's going to be so sick. But then when he built his Mustang, he was like, bro, the first time I rolled up to Zorba's, I'm going to come in sliding. You guys are going to be sitting there like, damn, who's this guy? Yeah.

So anyway, carry on. You kind of nailed it there. Yeah. Anyway, so yeah.

That is what happened. So what do we do? What do we do? And then there's like the rollout and you got to, you know, give it a little extra pepper. So Ryan's like kind of waiting there for me to get on it. So I try and like blow out everyone's eardrums. All the families eating there are like, you do not need to give it extra pepper. Yeah, respectfully at like 3.30 in the afternoon on a Sunday. But anyways, he comes back up to me and there's like a perfect corner that kind of goes towards my house. And then Ryan goes straight. I'm like, oh, I'm going to freaking just yank a handful and slide this thing.

My freaking tire literally, like, folded like an envelope and just came clear off the rim. And I'm like, done. On the drift around the restaurant? No, around the corner. You crashed. That would have been par for the course. Oh, man. Can you imagine? If I was sitting as Zorb was eating pizza in a Mustang, started drifting around, I would grab everyone. I would say, get inside now. Get inside. Everyone get inside. Oh, gosh.

Yeah, no, but it just came off. And I honestly thought I like blew it up because the tire was rubbing on the inside of the wheel well, but it was sending smoke out the hood and a lot of it. And I'm like, oh man, this thing's bogging, shaking, running like shit. I just blew it up. And then I get out and my tire is just off. It like pulled it off like a, like a, I don't know, like folded it back inside. It was the weirdest thing. It literally did what a condom did. Yeah.

Yeah, I kind of did that. Yes, but it's just the way it folded. Were you running ling-longs? No, I was running hand cooks. Don't buy those. Try something different. So it just wasn't, you didn't have enough tire pressure? Yeah, it was just low on air, probably. It's pretty hard on the corner. It's like the front one, too. It must have just rolled over on itself. Yeah, but anyways, yeah, tire issues. Got so much angle on that thing, man. It was right at Zorba's? No, no, no, no. So you never got to Zorba's? No, I did get to Zorba's. Oh, this was leaving. Leaving, leaving, yeah, yeah.

no i for a proper roll up i can't have the half gang there i need everybody oh you might have to do like a full house scout roll by like people just outside almost like full crowd well that's how it was on on opening night it opened up on like the first and we were there for mike's girlfriend or ryan's sister whichever one uh her birthday and like the whole gang was sitting there and i'm looking around like where's jake and i'm

I'm like, oh, my God. This is the moment. This is the moment. So I'm like sending Jake videos like, all right, Jake. We're ready for you. We're ready for you. Jake's like sitting around the corner like shining it up. He pulled over. He's in a quick detail. He's like, is everyone there? I'm like, yeah, but Mark just got up and ran to the bathroom. And he's like, all right, text me when he's back. Got to have one inside guy. I love that.

That would have been the perfect moment, but I was like halfway to Indiana and I was actually pretty upset. I'm like, I should have left tomorrow. So before we get too far off of NDSCS, we were like taking a bunch of pictures in that mob. We'd all kind of split up and we were talking to everybody else just individually. And so this guy came up to me and he was like, yo, can we get a selfie? I was like, yeah, of course. So he pulls out his phone and he was in Snapchat.

And he was in his chat-like thing, you know, like the screen like this where you can see. Yeah. And he just instinctively tapped the top one, which was a snap from his girlfriend. And it was a nude.

So he just snaps and goes, and like, we both kind of like look at it. He goes, oh shit. And then he clicks it. Wait, what? Yeah. That's so funny. I was like, whoa, never had that happen. Like of all the things, people can't find the camera, all that. And I was like, whoa. Yeah. Yeah. That's a common one. I was like, whoa.

And he just looked at me real wide. I was like, nice, dude. I was like, take the picture. And then we took the picture and he's like, nice to meet you. And then he walked away. He was blustered, dude. I bet.

I feel kind of bad. I didn't look at it. We didn't look at it very long, but yeah, it was, that wasn't. Yeah. So it was like long enough though, where like he, he was realizing what was going on and you, he realized that you were also looking at the phone. Like he's about to go like this. It was like, boom. And then it was like, Oh my. Yeah. Wow. It was, it was a fairly chaotic moment. That was crazy. I've never had that, but I've never heard of that happening. Um, there's this one kid there that asked for a picture and, um,

we like take a picture or whatever and then he like goes yo I gotta show you this finds this old picture from like 20 freaking 17 of me and him him and I like a picture of us two together and he's like a little kid because I mean it was you know yeah it was turf wars seven or eight years ago yeah yeah it was and now he's so he was like 10 and now he's 18 and I was like wow this is crazy yeah

it's wild and people are like you remember me and you're just like looking at me like i i don't even know if i recognize you and like this is us and they're like i know half your size i'm like dude we've been doing this for a long time yeah uh we were sitting down eating lunch and dalton our filmer was like yeah like when when you and cj were messing with the delivery guy saying that you were gonna give him a chicken instead of the title and i looked at him like what what

And he's like, yeah, like when you got your Corvette delivered and you walked inside and you said, let's give him a chicken. And I said...

He's like, what are you talking about, bro? And I actually, I better double check that he's not losing it. But if I, if we did say that, I have like no memory of that whatsoever. It is wild. Like how often that happens. Yeah. Very often somebody comes up and references something and I'm like, no idea what you're talking about right now, brother. It's crazy what people remember though. And like how specific it is. Yeah. It's cool though. And it's cool for us too, because it's,

you know, everybody's been around. Like when you're, when you're sitting around in a circle telling stories at the campfire, like we have recorded memories that you can go back on and like be able to see one day when we're ready to do that. But right now we're just making

Make them more. I don't go back and watch those videos. Telling stories around the campfire is the best. Yeah, dude. Actually. You're going to do it. We should go have one. Right now. Let's just quit. It's raining. All right. Let's just pick this up tomorrow. Yeah. All right. Thanks for tuning in. I'm going to get one of those little solo smokeless stoves and we're going to have a campfire right here. That would be awesome. An actual fire one? Oh, yeah. That's a Snoop Dogg

I'm pretty sure there would still be smoke coming from it. Nope. You start a fire and there's not going to be any smoke? Smokeless, dude. Snoop said, I'm done with the smoke. Sydney got one for her birthday, so I'm excited to try that. Sydney doesn't want the smoke either. You put actual wood in there and it doesn't smoke? I don't know how, but... What do you guys got on the docket? I haven't seen you in a while. The docket.

that you can like talk about i guess i don't know i know you guys always you got a lot of stuff you can't talk about but oh jake yeah you'll you'll think this is pretty cool and be excited about this we're gonna do a drift track are you yeah you're building the drift track yeah

Is that like the auto invite that I'm just going to show up unannounced and you guys are going to be like, damn, we shouldn't have told them we were building this. Yeah, we're going to have to put in a fence and a gate. Just to keep Jake out. Mike, you give me my own code. It only works for like an hour. It's like one and two o'clock.

I mean, to be fair, yeah, if we were like inside trying to film and you were drifting, it'd be so loud. Yeah. I don't think you could. No, no. That'll be sick though. We're really excited about that. I am really excited for you. That's sweet. Are you going to do it at the farm? Excited is an understatement. Yeah. We're trying to figure out the next level, the layout and everything still.

And, you know, what makes sense with like the space that we've got and like, quite frankly, not spend a ton of money on it just because it's like very, very expensive. Try to figure out which organs we should sell. Yeah. I was gonna say you should just make like a kidney bean because then you can do a drag strip. We've got a pretty sweet idea, but we want to incorporate like the trees into it just so like, like something that we run into a lot, you know, one corner looks the same as the next. So it's like if we're able to have like trees incorporated into like

where it's like, it adds a little bit of background texture where it looks, one, crazier, two, it's a little bit sketchier, you know, and then everything doesn't look the exact same. So we're trying to do that at the farm. Kind of like landmarks so you can kind of see and gauge where you're at. You could put like certain things up. Like, yeah, you could put like...

Obviously the shipping containers with like some kind of canopy thing over it. You could do like a lion and a lion, you know, like not like a statue of a lion or like a gorilla or something on my one corner. So that way it's like each corner you can tell is a little different. You should get like a big water fountain in the middle. That's got a giant toilet on top and it's like, and taking a shit. Like that's awesome. Landmark like that. Like,

Cowboy corner or something. Well, that's like what we got going on at the other track. Like, you know, we obviously have the Hummer up on the pole. Yep. And then you've got the no can do with the smart car on top of it. And like, there's like these little, the water truck. We need some more in there, but yeah. One that hasn't made him video too much, but it's a, it's a personal favorite of mine is tetanus corner. It's the one where all the scrap metal. Yeah.

It's on the back side of the burger. Yeah, that one is just straight up because we were too lazy to pick it up. Tetanus Corners. Right after the whoops. If you overshoot the whoops, it's just like eight barrels that are fully like shrapnel. Yeah, our limo is still out there.

It's kind of turned into a little bit of like a... It's like a nature sanctuary now. I was going to say graveyard, but yeah. Dude, can you imagine like 100 years from now when we're all gone, they're going to be like, yeah, the Hummer's still up there. It's going to be kind of like a staple. It probably won't leave.

Yeah, we've been talking about maybe taking it down and using it this summer, doing something with it, but it's going to take a bit of work to get it back up and running because the last time that we drove it, it was super cracked. And so it would probably sink the next time that we took it out. And we were like, God, what do you put up there? Yeah, you can't just take something down because once you hire the crane guy there, it's like you got him there. So you got to put something else back up there. And it's like, well, what else do we put up there? Got it.

Going to have to just get something that's iconic. Ken's Bronco didn't work. No, we just like panic and put Ken's Bronco back.

Dude, that one was still slept on. Like, how sketchy that was. Yeah, dude. It was so much on the line for just a joke. Like, just for us to laugh and get a good reaction out of Ken. Risk and reward were literally up here side by side. Like, it could have been so expensive. If it would have fallen, it would have been really funny. Like, I mean, it would have been funny for the video. We'd still be laughing. That probably would have been the most expensive video bit we've ever done.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, for sure. It'd be the quickest way we've blown that amount of money for sure. Yeah. That's just done. That is literally. But it would be. It wouldn't have been worth it. That one would be forever in the history books. Hall of Fame. Of dumb, idiotic decisions that we've made.

Just to get a laugh. That was great. The crane guy just accidentally dropped it. You all just look at him. He just can't tell. Yeah, he got insurance. He was responsible for it until it was technically off display. Was he actually responsible for it? I don't think he was because we had our own homemade crate that we were using. I don't think he was responsible for shit. I don't think so. I think that's why we had such problems finding a crane guy willing to do it. Well, now we got the hookup though. What do you got going on?

Do you

Dude, I got a lot of stuff going on. Yeah, you building any drift tracks? I got Turf Wars coming up. Nice. Going to the VanPrix in Connecticut now. Really? Wow. Oh, yeah, because you got a title. You're kind of like the guy. Yeah, so if you guys aren't doing anything, you should come or try and, you know, give the Ground Vic race another go. Connecticut? Yeah. What's in Connecticut? I don't know. I've never been to Connecticut. I've never even been to that side of the country. It's kind of by New York, isn't it? What event is this VanPrix at halftime for in Connecticut? I don't know. They're just like, hey, you're the winner. NASCAR. NASCAR.

Can you imagine? You're kind of like a traveling carny. In a way, yeah. I just kind of became a pro minivan guy, I guess. You should start training. Or maybe that's something you don't train for. You can only put so many laps in on the body. No, your back can only take so much. I think it's who's ever spine gives out first. You should pick up a van, though, just to get more familiar with it. Just start dailying one. Dude, what I did find out, and I hope none of the other drivers listen to this podcast...

the older the van, the better. Cause the new ones, you hit one little bump, limoed, airbag. Yeah. Oh, all that stuff. I grabbed like the Mitsubishi Komatsu, whatever. And I was like, it's got a six cylinder and it's got big tires and this thing will eat itself alive. And it did dude. Yeah. When's your turf wars? Uh, June 1st. So yeah, I got turf wars. I got that. I want to start doing the drift series, but,

But it turns out the first event I was going to go to lands on turf for us. So then after that, there's like TP3 and then I want to do the 5k, but there's like really good drivers there. I haven't got a ton of seat time. So you want to actually compete? Yeah. Just to get like better. I've been thinking about it. Like I want to compete to get better, but I like, I don't think I'd ever get there, but I don't want to compete to go like pro or anything like that. Some people's goal, but that just seems super expensive and like kind of like ruin the sport. Like I just want to, there's like a big ass corner somewhere. I'm like, I want to hang that for an Instagram clip. And that's kind of that.

I want to be able to drift around Zorba's. To come into Zorba's and like, Jake, it's not going to happen, bro. You can pretty much drift anywhere, though. I mean, I've watched you. I just, yeah, I want to get really good at it, but I want to get like, just crazy.

scary. Like I want to be able to go fast. Like you see those crazy YouTube videos of the guys like, how are they doing this? Like a hundred miles an hour. I want to be able to do that. Like that hill up there. That'd be so cool. I knew that you have gotten pretty good at drifting or just driving in general. But then when you hop behind the wheel of the unicorn and you, you were doing what you were doing, I was like, damn, he's like, I actually got it.

Not going to lie, there was a few moments where I'm like, I'm probably going to wall this thing and have to buy this car. It was scary, dude. Dude, I thought you had it locked.

I felt like I had it locked. But it was just like, guys, that car is violent. It's like... Well, how you have to drive it, it's violent. Yeah. Like you had it like... You wound out. Yeah. Basically, the only way to get it to do what you're trying to make it do is you just... It's just like you either are giving it all or nothing. So there's no like easing into it. It kind of seemed like... Yeah, no. And I feel like as you guys like build it out or whatever you do with it, it's going to get easier. But yeah, the way it's set up now, it's definitely like a showpiece. And to get it to drift, you're like...

or nothing and you just gotta trust it yeah that was super entertaining and I hope you let me drive it again

You got big plans for it, so it's only going to get sicker. Yeah, it's going to be wild. Is it going to be wild? It's going to be so sick. I mean, you can pretty much imagine what we're going to do to it, right? I can only imagine. It's not really that hard to... Twin snails. Twin snails. You're saying it just like that? Yep. I mean, it's obvious that that was part of the plan. So when do you think it's going to be done? Can't tell you, man. Damn. We're just still waiting on a lot of parts. Can't tell you because we don't know.

I got tracking for half this shit. They make a twin turbo kit for that motor, the gen one, but to make them stick out the hood is a completely different story. It's going to have to be fabbed, the piping and all that. It also doesn't fit. The motor barely fits in that car to begin with. It's like you're taking twin turbos

that are supposed to go on this motor and you basically have to just like custom fabricate them to make it fit into the car not just slapping them on like it's gonna be a mess everything's custom everything yeah yeah exactly luckily big wrench and gavin have their work cut out for them

But they're like Gavin worked on exhaust manifolds and like turbo systems for like 10 years before he worked with us. And Big Ranch has been like, dude, every single time I talked to Big Ranch, I learned something new about him, like an industry that he worked in. Like we honestly just got to have them on the pod someday and they can kind of explain it a little bit more. But like Big Ranch has worked in like the snowmobile industry for

for like 25 years and he's like bounced around from like companies and I found out yesterday that he used to work on choppers so he built choppers for four years yeah because he was working on our chopper and he's like that's why I fucking hate these things and I was like what's your beef with these like since the second

I told you that we were looking at a chopper. You have been just mad about it. And he was like, you piece of shit. I worked on it for four years. The bolts will rattle themselves right out. Sure enough, it did. It shakes the bolts right out. It just came right out. And he was like, I told you. This is why I hate these fucking things.

He is kind of like the mad scientist. The amount of knowledge he knows, like you can bring the most random thing ever you guys have bought and he rolls it in, takes a look under and he's like, oh, that's going to break. Just like, no. Dude, yeah, he's good at that. Something that sets both of them apart from the average wrench is that they can... The average?

They can make something work that shouldn't necessarily work together, and they can do it in an efficient time to keep these videos rolling. You know, like when we were at NDSCS, they were, like, showing us this lawnmower that had been... What? It had Cummins in it? They had a golf cart with a cat. No, it...

I think it might have been a VA. Yeah, it was just a lawnmower with a VA. And it said this lawnmower with a VA. I don't know why I thought it was a Cummins. And I was like, man, this is sick. Like, how long does this take to do? And they're like, three years. And I was like, three years? I was like, we would have told our mechanics to do it in a week. Do not let Big Reg and Gavin hear that. But, like, that's the thing, though, is, like, they're able to make things happen.

in this short amount of time just from their experience of doing all these things. And then it's like every little week, basically, they get better and better. And I think that's why it would be very hard. Although we would 100% hire someone to find another job,

you know, a guy that can come in and compete with them. Dude, they can turn and burn some equipment, though. It's crazy. Like, I'll come here on a Monday, see what's going to happen, come back on Friday, and you're like, yeah, we already filmed it. Video's done, and it's all together. You can go check it out in the shop if you want. I'm like, what the fuck? There's a pile of junk here.

like two days ago it is crazy yeah it always amazes me which is awesome good kids yeah we'll have mom one time it'd be fun yeah that'd be cool pick their brain what's having to say it's so funny though dude like they just know like especially big wrench too and he reminds gavin like

oh it doesn't have to be perfect just do it for a good enough for the video and then we can fix it afterwards yeah and that's why we have so much broken stuff is because like they just know just get it good enough for the video and then we can worry about it afterwards otherwise like if you were to do it to perfection then instead of one week it takes three and then we're back to

We're backed up and we're like, why isn't this done? You know, we're already doing next week's video. And they're just like, they're just so good. I feel like it works out though that way too, because like once you guys film the video and it's done and obviously stuff's going to break, then it gets fixed. All the kinks are worked out. And now it's just like a good piece of equipment that's waiting down there for next time. I'd say 75% of it doesn't get fixed. Okay. It just gets, you do a good job. I don't know if you've walked 25% of it. Dude. Like,

It's crazy how much stuff is in there and how much of it's broken. That is like the ultimate toy shed. There's everything in there of all time. You walk in there, that is every guy's paradise. Every robber's paradise. It's probably not too hard to find, but we do have cameras all over. And there's pretty much people here all the time. And none of it runs. And none of it runs. Literally none of it runs. And it's locked down like Fort Knox, like you said. We also have guns.

Yeah, I was like, and we got guns and any pastors will be given a shot. That's the thing is any of the stuff that we have in there is not worth your life. So I definitely would not try to steal. Exactly. You know, I was thinking about that when I walked through our barn and both of our shops, just like how much stuff we've accumulated and how much of our lives are here. And then a flares house and,

Basically, his whole yard just took a direct hit from the strongest tornado. Yeah, I saw that from that tornado. Yeah, dude. Yeah, it was wild. It was wild. I actually watched his video afterwards. It sucks because he's got all these security cameras around his property, but the power went out. So he lost all the footage. Oh.

That's what he said. Or the insurance company. He didn't want to expose it to the insurance company. I'm not sure. Well played, my friend. No, but I mean, as a YouTuber, I'm assuming that he was super bummed. Yeah, but dude, it was insane what the tornado was able to just pick up and move. Like he had like full on or one enclosed trailer that ended up probably 400 yards from where it was. And it went over his shop like insane.

It was right here. Then he had the shop. And then it ended up in the trees over here. And it had to have gone over it to, like, get to where it was. Oh, my gosh. They just, like, picked it up. Yeah, it was, like, shattering, like, glass doors, like, in his house. Like, insane. That type of destruction. I mean, obviously, the whole shop's gone. But, like, even his brand-new house and stuff like that, like, just heartbreaking, gut-wrenching stuff. Yeah. I saw Nelka actually was there. Chasing it.

Chasing the tornado and they're filming it. And then the video actually comes out tonight. Funny enough. I'm so excited. I've wanted to go a week in advance, but a tornado chasing so bad. Yeah. So I saw that they're in, you know, the rig they were in just pop up a picture of what it kind of looked like that. That's so interesting. So you could, in a sense, just,

just literally drive right through the tornado and you wouldn't get picked up because it has those side skirts that like go down to the ground or what? Yeah, they have like stakes that like go down to like secure it in. It's heavier. It's got like something so the wind like flows over it. My question is, so when you're in there, is it... It's gotta be blown.

Can you pull up footage of a tornado chaser getting hit by an actual tornado? I've actually had go tornado chasing in my notes for a while now. Jay, didn't you do that? No, me and my dad were supposed to do it in April, and the guy ended up getting cancer and super sick. But now we're supposed to go next year if he gets better. But, dude, the guy was sending me some videos. They get like...

Right in it like right up to it. Yeah, it's scary. Yeah, so you hear they like display the spikes deploy the spikes That is what I'm talking about right there. They got a drone up That was a mailbox and pounded oh my gosh, oh it gets moved. Oh, holy crap, dude I feel like there's no way that the video does this any just no imagine how insane this would be it moved it over. Oh

What's crazy is if you were in that thing and like a trailer hit it,

Then you're not in good shape. Yeah, then it's going to freaking take you, dude. When Ken gets his Cybertruck, we should do this. That's a good idea, dude. Tornado chasing with the Cybertruck. I like that idea, Mike. That's a great idea. That's going to be done now. Someone's going to have it done in three weeks. Ken, are you getting the bulletproof windows? I actually don't know how that works. No, the bulletproof windows doesn't. No, no, no. We just try it. It doesn't have bulletproof windows because then you wouldn't be able to put them up and down. But the sides are...

bulletproof to a certain extent. Like a .50 cal would blow through it. Like a pistol 9mm would be fine. Interesting. I'm pretty excited for you to get that. Seriously, wow, that's crazy. I am too. I really like that. I think that'll be cool. I just love it. It just looks so different. You can park next to literally any vehicle in the world and it looks...

crazier than that. Yeah. What's going to be crazy though is that they're going to be very common because they're not made to be a rare car. Like the whole point, the whole point of just every Tesla in general is to be mass produced. So like right now they're super cool, but in let's say two, three years, you're probably going to see them all over. Interesting. You know, especially as like the electric cars,

wave we'll call it continues to become more and more popular and more accessible to, you know, our area. The electric wave. I don't like electric wave. A lot of people saying that it's on the downslope. People found out that they they're lame. Yeah. Yeah. I think like the, the, the whatever, the feeling of like, Whoa, electric cool is it's like starting to wear off. And then people are like, no, for sure. I mean, it's just like the hype of the cyber truck is already kind of passed. Um,

in terms of YouTube. I feel like the hype happened when you guys ordered them four years ago. They've been hyped for so long. When they got them, there was a lot of YouTubers that had probably a two, three-week window to make some whatever content, but now Danny already shot his. They've kind of done a lot with it, but I still think it's going to be cool to own. I'm not saying that it's not going to be cool. I think part of the...

The reason why some of those electric vehicles are dropping off those because they're so expensive compared to just normal cars where it's like, it's just the people that want them are going to buy them, but it's just, it's pointless for most people. Flex. Yeah.

Didn't you lose a shit ton of money on your pens? Dude, I've never heard of this. I've never heard of such depreciation. I lost like $60,000 on my Model X. In a day, right? It was like this? Over two years. But why? It lost most of its value because they did something, right? They dropped the sticker price of the car. Yeah, so he paid a lot of money for it and then...

Elon was like, this is supposed to be a mass production car that everyone should be driving. So then they pretty much chopped the price in half. When they first released the car, the price is one thing. And then over time, the price just dropped further and further. It was like more were out there. What was the price of your Tesla Model X Plaid when you initially got it? $140? I got the document for it.

That's a lot of money. It was like 140. So it was 140 and now you can buy a new one for what? About 100. I got to trade an offer for 66. Whoa!

Whoa. That's called getting bent, dude. That is rigged. Not even a two-year-old car doesn't have 20,000 miles. You might as well just keep it for that. That's what I was thinking. That's crazy. That's a hell of a car to get for that much money, though. That's what I mean. I'd get one. Not for me. Maybe for Alex. Every time I hop in Ken's car, I'm amazed by it. It is so nice. And that's the fastest one, too. That thing's legit. That thing's a Lamborghini. Yeah.

I'd say disgustingly fast. Keep it until it blows up and we'll LS swap it. It won't blow up. It's a battery. Keep it until it starts on fire. Yeah, or whatever happens. Could have bought your own Hunicorn, Ken. 58% depreciation.

Sorry to keep... Trust me, dude. I've done it a bunch of times. It sucks. That's worse than a Cadillac. Last one I made money on this one is... You have made money on a few cars. Do you think Hellcats are good drifters, Jake?

I don't know. You know what's funny? I was talking about this last night with Mike, dude, and I think they're boats. Yeah, I feel like they would be really good at takeover when you're just doing circles. I mean, doing circles is pretty easy in any rear-wheel drive car with a lot of power and tires. You need those too. Don't accept that.

But, yeah, I was thinking about that because, like, if we're going to get this drift track, it'd be kind of sweet to have a Hellcat to, like, whip around. But I don't think it's a drifting car. I feel like you'd be better off just getting a – There's only one way to find out. And I'm so against takeovers. I think it's the latest thing. It's kind of lame. I agree. I don't stand for them either. No. Especially the way they've gotten – Just doing donuts and, like – It's hoodlums. Yeah. It's just hoodlums. It should be a little different. Now it's just, like, anything. Anything goes. Like, people, you know. Like, shooting stuff. How often do you see a video of somebody getting hit at a car?

Every single time. Every single takeover video. Well, what the fuck are these people doing running out there? You got some jabroni that you don't even know whipping his hellcat that's all beat to shit. And you're like, I'm going to go run up and trust this guy to whip around me. I'm sure you're just in the moment, but... Dude, I don't know what it is about me, but, like, yeah, I have that, like, folder saved. Uh...

On Instagram of all of them, and I still just put them in there on the daily. Just more takeover clips? I didn't know that. I have a safe folder. You're collecting takeover videos? Full of people getting hit. Toss a couple up. Why? I'd go to one. One takeover for a video segment. For a video segment, I will go to one takeover and check it out.

The thing that I've been seeing a lot lately is it starts out with a takeover clip and I go, here we go. Who gets hit? And then somebody gets hit every single time and then the person goes flying and then the next cut is like somebody in a dealership kind of matches the person that gets flying and then rolls on the ground and is like,

come on in to Corwin Auto and buy this car. It's pretty clever marketing. I don't know why I get so angry. I've been getting a little in some keyboard warrior fights lately. Do you just not like them because you feel like their drifting is getting a lot of attention but it's like the easiest form of drifting. That's what pisses you off? Yeah, it's doing a donut. I'm like, dude, any kid

could do that. You know, you're just... Oh, Jake, you're such a core enthusiast, bro. Yeah, you gotta start linking that shit. Yeah, you gotta take over the whole block. Oh, God. Oh! Is that a girl? Oh, my God. Oh! That was so much better than I expected. Try that on a dirt bike. Oh! Jeez, who's calling me at this hour? Mike, these aren't takeovers. These are just crashes. Well, look what it's called. It's called Crazy Videos.

This one's my favorite. I love how he tries to throttle out of it, too.

This one. Yeah. That was actually sick. That was clean. That transition was amazing. Golly, what was this guy doing not paying attention there? There's so many of them. Oh, gosh. What is this girl doing in the middle of the street? She's in the middle of the intersection. Doesn't look that nimble. And here she goes. Three, two, one. Boom. She honestly deserved that. The face wave. Yeah, let me get some air there. Knocked out.

Oh, my gosh. He lost his pants. Dude, the pants are always falling down. But he did a full front flip. Yikes. Yeah, dude. That's... You know, there's two things that these people like doing. Running into danger and not wearing belts. And sliding around in, obviously, intersections, but three. Uh-oh. Here goes his pants. Oh, nope. Lost his shoe. Grab it, grab it, grab it. Man. Oh, my God, dude. Like, he's running back at the car.

Dude, that sucker's running hot. You can see the pipes glowing. That's a G8. Oh, the pants are down. The pants are down, dude.

Get back or get smacked. That's the takeover motto. Dude, I cannot imagine something much more embarrassing than one getting hit by a car in front of a ton of people and then your pants getting knocked down, dude. Dude, oh my gosh. I only got hit by one car. Jake, what do you think of Whistlin's last video where he's roasting Mustang owners? Dude, here's the thing I got to say about it.

hilarious video super stereotypical but when he came back and flipped that car over it still started bro that thing i was pretty surprised by that yeah there's no denying that mustangs honestly are really well-built cars especially in terms of bang for your buck dude yeah

You can beat the hell out of those things. Yeah, dude. And they just keep taking it. It honestly just proved best car ever made and honestly great video. And you can do a lot with them. You can drift them. I don't know if that's what it proved. No, it definitely. Dude, he was driving it. He was eye rolling. Best car ever made. Yeah. I wouldn't say the best car ever made. I do our fucking delusions. That's what you got out of that video. It's the best car ever made. Okay. You heard it here.

No, I was a guest guys See boys come out and say Mustang best car. Maybe we'll get a sponsorship I'd take us Mustang sponsorship if that's all we could drive around Oh shit

Dude, there would be no one outside ever. Yeah, Cormorant would be vacant. Ghost town. Yeah, you could buy up real estate in Cormorant for pennies on the dollar. Dude, I've been telling you guys, you're all Mustang guys deep down. You just haven't accepted it yet. Got the Hoonicorn. Started there. I've liked all the Mustangs you've had, Jake.

From your very first one, I've always liked the orange one. I didn't like the orange one. The orange one, I guess I don't know how I felt on that. Well, I took my buddy's advice to get bags and get real low. That was pretty cool. I told you to do that, bro. You even told me to. You gave me a finger on this.

You get coilovers. Coilovers, man. Getting the credit card. Wait, what? What was wrong with your orange one? Dude, it just drove and rode like a lumber wagon. Oh, because it was on bags? Bagged out and wide-bodied. So why didn't you just... I understand why people like that. And I used to like that when I was younger. Now, as I've aged...

Not a fan of bags. I don't even really like the look. I still respect people that like it. Dalton's a young kid. He's looking at me right now. I'm sure he likes it. He's like, static or die, bro. That's one of those things that I just... Not for me. You can roll up and look cool, but then when someone's doing something... It's just not functional, dude. You got this fast car and then you can't even fucking drive it fast because you got these shitty ass...

Airbags so you can air it out. Also, airing down every time you park it is a little extra. Yeah. And then it never looks as good, too, because then your alignment and the wheels that you're running, you have them basically set up to be aired out. So then when you're driving it, it kind of just looks whack. And you're just better off throwing a nice pair of coilovers on. It'll ride really well. And then just get a decent fitment. Angle kit. Maybe.

Maybe not the hand pit. Hydraulic e-brake. Also, there's different strokes for different folks. So whatever your thing is, man. Unless you're into super stance. But I feel like 90% of them are just slapped together. Like that one WRX you looked at. Well, they always got leaks, I think, is the biggest problem. You can run bags. They have performance ones that I think will handle really well. But I think it's...

They don't last that long. I have bags for my drift car. Really? Obviously, I didn't put them in because I don't know why you'd do that. But yeah, I have bags for it. Just another thing to go around and do it for. Yeah. Sell that car, bro. And get a Mustang. No, just anything else.

I don't know. I'm kind of chilling. You're going to beat Ken's depreciation freaking run over there. So far into it. I don't think I could. So for the drift track here, you were saying earlier you had sent us, there was a red Miata actually, a mint red Miata for sale on the side of the road. And it was kind of a lot of money. It was like eight grand.

I was thinking, honestly, we'd be better off just spending a little more and get like a 370Z or a 350Z or even like a pair of them. Or like a 350Z and then like a C550.

five Corvette that we could drift on the drift track. But then at the same time, I started thinking about it. I was like, this is going to get really expensive because we're going to have everyone coming over drifting the cars. We're never going to have any tires. They're going to break. But it would be fun to have a couple cars to hop in and just whip on there. I'd like to think being the owner of our own drift track, we could probably lock down a tire sponsor between all of us. Probably. Yeah, we'd get some Ling Longs. Dude, I think it'd be sick. Ling Long actually has a drift team.

I'm sure. No, it's funny, but yeah. You guys should definitely do all of that and I'll be coming over all the time. 85% of Ling Long's buyers are actually drifters. No, we're going to have to pick up something though. I was watching the original video where you got your white Mustang the other day. Nah, point choice. No.

I was trying to get footage for the Hoonicorn video. Oh, okay, okay, okay. That one was like, I think your coolest Mustang that you've had. And then you ruined it by like everything that you did to it. But when you got it stock, it did look really nice. It looked sick. It wasn't stock. White wheels, tons of stickers. Yeah, banging stickers. Bam!

It was a staple. Come on. It was like, it was something. It was a sick car. Yeah. Yeah. That was way too much. Dude, I drove in a gravel pit. Oh yeah. That was on your hate video, wasn't it? No, no, it wasn't. That was after the hate video. Yeah. Come on.

You burned the merch once. Still not over it. I'm sorry. I apologize. I made a mistake. Oh, it's all good, Jacob. Well, that was pretty sick, though, when you started mobbing it, like off-roading it. It felt so good, but I'm like, dude, this thing's going to be worthless after it. Every ball joint bushing bearing, I brought it to Martin afterwards, and he's like, dude, this thing's like toast. What? From just driving on one gravel road? Yeah. Like, he literally could take my wheel and go...

I thought Mustangs were tough, Jake. Dude, they are. It's the best car I ever built. Okay, but other things you got to do, whatever.

But yeah, the reason I did that is like, dude, I want to top this thing out. I want to see how fast it'll go. And it was like 186. On a gravel road? No. Oh, yeah. You did that on an airport runway, right? Allegedly. Did you just sneak onto the airport runway? Allegedly. Your front lip. Oh, yeah. Folded under the car, dude. At 186. Yeah. I didn't know you're not supposed to touch the brakes. And I was like reading the markers like, okay, I got this much room left. I got this much room left. And it was like screaming. I'm like.

okay i don't even know i'm on base brakes not even brembos i'm on like single piston i locked them up and the back tires came off the ground and it took the front lip and folded it under the no it didn't yes no i have a picture i have tires came off the ground i got a picture dude i literally could show you i have a picture right here you just have your front brakes you just have your front brakes but i

that I could show you. They come down to land, they see a Mustang sliding across on his nose. Those motherfuckers are always out of control. It wasn't that aggressive. I know the Mustang. I believed everything until you said the back tires were off the ground. But it makes sense. It was low. And it had that much like

down force you got like a plastic front lip on it of course it's gonna fold no it was metal dude it was i'll show you i literally just found the picture okay hold on you guys just keep talking let me find this i'm gonna get roasted for a century if i don't fucking cover this up

God dang it. I mean, that's just an out-of-pocket thing to say, Jacob.

I'm just confused. Would you have only your front brakes hooked up to do that? For the record. What would lead that to happen? I don't know. You locked him up too hard. Did you think it was going to do 200? I wanted to. That's amazing. It had more, but dude, I've never... It was scary. I bet. So after I went back, you know how you tighten your... Where you put air in your tires? That...

like i had metal caps them yeah they i had metal ones they welded themselves to the wheels they got so hot and my like my brake pads were like nothing it was just metal on metal after that one pass yeah that's why they have like a parachute so did you have a video of it no i just have a picture right here i showed siege you can see the lip and look like look how the the back's coming up it's not a full nose bonk bro come on

Okay. I mean, it's pretty freaking light on the rear wheel. Yeah. I mean, look how stupid this car looked after you started putting all these stickers on it. We're past that, bro. It was such a cool car. It was still cool. Damn, that is nuts. That is crazy. Yeah. Well, we better get to work to pay for this drift track, brother. Yeah. God dang it. God dang it.

Is that what we're doing right now? Yeah. Oh, yeah, you're right. We work. Yeah, we working. I'm glad we got that covered up. I did not need that at Zorba's. Don't forget to send me that hot dog shack link. All right. Well, that's it for the podcast today, folks. Dude, thank you guys for having me. I always love this. Thanks for being here. Thanks for listening, guys. It's always funny. It's always fun.

nose manual thanks for saying some out of pocket yeah all right subscribe if you haven't we'll see you next time can he send us out yeah ken hit that gum really should have took the headphones off oh my god yeah

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.
