Shownotes Transcript

Hey, bro code doesn't apply when you're out in a different time zone. You know, you grow up. No, I'm doing my best not to. He's trying to stay this way, yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Are you sure they offered you $5 million? It's hard to know.

I mean, you're 17, you should be able to do whatever you want. I feel like I was not making good decisions at 17. Justin, anyone run in the amount of subs that you had in that BMW? That was a mistake. Just the fact that nobody stood up and said, hey, maybe don't do that. The amount of subs? Justin had a channel? Yeah, I had two subscribers in the back of my BMW. And they were loud. They were live, too. We are live.

All right, guys. Well, welcome back to the podcast. We got our good friend Justin sitting in on this one, and then Mike in the middle. So we're running five deep again. Actually, six. We got Jamie on the back here, too. So we're running six. We've got a moth problem. Dude, I have so many moths in my office. I've been meaning to talk about that. The doors have been left open at night. The doors have been opened? Yeah, all night. Yes.

Not all night, but they're open for periods of time when it's dark out and it's light in here. So the moths fly in here because they like light. I was just thinking, so you're in Australia or wherever, crazy parts of the world, you have all kinds of critters. We can't really compare it to that, but the seasonal bugs here, and I'm not even talking like...

Like summer, winter, fall. It's like it starts where we start with the little bugs. Then we have like the lake fly, fruit flies. Then we have mosquitoes. Then we have bed bugs. But seriously, and then we have June bugs. Like a whole bunch of June bugs. Then they all die. And then it's like more mosquitoes. Then it's like ladybugs. Then it's like flies. Then it's bees. Then it's hornets. It's just weird. But it all comes in waves. What else, Mike? What other bugs are there?

What about the butterflies? Oh, yeah. Dragonflies. They all come in waves. It's just crazy. It's like dragonflies are all there, then they're all gone. It really makes you wonder. Yeah, it is crazy. Welcome to the bug talk. Yeah, I had to get that off my chest, bro. I was wondering where you were going with it. Yeah, I'm excited. Take us, dude. I'm just saying it's crazy how many different waves of bugs we have here.

Yeah. It's nuts, man. A lot of bugs. I hate to shut you down on your first thing. You want to know why there's so many moths in here? Well, because the garage doors are left open. It was after one night in particular. I don't know what night it was, but we came back.

And it's no big deal. I actually have a video of it. Mike, Evan, and Cody were sitting in the garage, and they had legit at least three of the doors open all the way. It was night, so it was dark out. And then the next day we had a lot of moths, which I don't really care. It's not a big deal, but...

It is nice. But that's why we have a lot of them in here. When it's fall, it's nice to have the doors open. It is. It does feel a little airy in here. I love having the doors open. It kind of feels like you're working outside even though you're in your office. And I prefer it, actually. Yeah, we've been thinking about getting a water fountain put in inside the shop. It's a vibe. It's a vibe, man. And something about it. Could you not imagine walking in here, the sweet aroma of gasoline and then a water fountain just...

The water fountain's full of gasoline? No, no, no. It's full of water, but it's just the sweet trickling sound of water over some rocks. You know the water fountain in the mall, though, in Fargo? I feel like every big mall has a water fountain. That entire area of the mall just feels fresh. There's just something about it. It's a vibe, man. So that's what we're going to try to do. I think I do remember looking up...

Water features, they put like negative ions in there, which is good. Not like negative. It's a positive thing. So it's better. They put negative ions on it or just water has it and then. Yeah. Like it traps all the bad things. And so water is good for your air quality is what I'm trying to say. It's reminding me of like Sims or like Roller Coaster Tycoon. You know, you can just drop in a fountain and then it says brings air quality up. What?

One notch. Yeah, exactly. We're just creating a little ecosystem in here. Yeah, it started with yesterday we woke Micah up with 10 gallons of water. We have some negative ions in there. 10 heavy gallons all came crashing down on Micah at once. One of our better wake-ups, actually. I know what happened yesterday, but it's stuck in my head. I'm not joking. I have mental pictures of everything.

Every time that I can remember of you guys waking me up. And this one was no joke, like a mini tidal wave. I woke up just in time and two buckets. I could no joke in slow motion, see the water hit me in the face and...

It was just aggressive. That's all. It was a lot. Dude, does that piss you off? Waking up like that? Because it would actually upset me. It would start me off on a bad start. Do you think you would have much ground to stand on? No, I wouldn't. I would be a little irritated and then I would get over it. Mike is just like...

Good morning. Good morning. Like if it was like seven in the morning and we're going to the airport, a little unjust. Yeah. You know what? The time probably. Well, no. After it, when it's noon, it's like, well, yeah, I guess the water hit me at 1101 on the dot.

And that's okay. That's justified. Bro, what? But if it was at 7 and we had a fight to get on, sure, do it. But if it was at 7 and we didn't have anything to do and you guys were like, let's just... That's just uncalled for. That would be funny because then I'd be like, what the?

hell dude and then you know you know me i'd probably like dry off and try to go back to bed yeah you would you just go to the other bed right next to you but yeah uh ben you asking me that reminded me because like a lot of subscribers ask me that it's a very common question so yeah when they wake you up doesn't that well how do you feel about that soggy yeah dude it would take me off like not that i need to wake up in the most perfect way every day but sometimes when we're on trips it's

Ken bless his soul he's getting us where we need to be we go hey you getting up yet time to go and it's the worst way to wake up is with a strong male voice in your ear going get up dude when Ken has kids they are going to hate being woken up by dad normally at that time it's like okay we have X amount of minutes left to go and nobody's out of bed or very few people are out of bed

So it's kind of like we got to push the ball, get it going. Is this guy's mic on? No, it's not. He doesn't have a mic. The mic bought the wrong adapter. It's not his fault. So he's just running GoPro audio. Maybe we cut that whole bit right there. Oh, really? Damn, Ken. No, let's use that. Yeah, no, we can use that. It's a GoPro audio. Oh.

what was I gonna say dude I can't you have to be like top 10 all time for like wet mornings like you get woken up by an absurd amount of water hey top 10 that's my boy Mike wet Mike yeah

So Justin, how's life, dude? I mean, I want to know just a little bit about what you've been up to. And also you went to Europe with your wife for like two weeks. Honestly, that was kind of like a trip of a lifetime. Both my wife and I wanted to go to... We've both been to Europe, but never to Italy before. And holy cow, it kind of ruins food and food...

Wine, anything you drink. Just getting this out of your face. There you go. Yeah, it is...

Great place to visit. Two weeks was a long time, but probably about right. Got to get everything in. It's a long time. I felt like you were over there for an entire quarter. Two weeks, that's 14 days. Yeah, it was all of 14 days. And it was good. When Ken went to Europe for two weeks, he never came back the same. Yeah, that's true. Whatever happened to Ken? Ken, what did happen over there? Did study abroad. That's funny.

It's funny to ask him something and just hear a voice in the ether. I did study abroad. Ken went to Europe. I swear he came back and it's like he had missed an entire lifetime. Like everything we talk about, he would just go, I have no idea what you're talking about. Dude, anyone that's like, I forget how old were you when you did that?

22. How long were you gone? How many weeks? Six weeks. That is a long time. That is a long time. You have anyone in the age of 18 to like 22, 23 right now just terrified to go to like basic training or possibly even study abroad? You missed out on everything. Well, the reason it got really weird when he got back is because he was studying abroad

With Jake's girlfriend at the time. And Ken was basically just trying to swoop. And he thought being on a different continent was okay. It's like, hey, bro code doesn't apply when you're on a different time zone. And so obviously he came back and Jake had a bone to pick with him. That was right around the time that he slammed him on the ground for the whole dick pic thing. Was it? Yeah.

You know, it was probably getting even. What happens in Europe stays in Europe. I was very jealous of you being in Italy. Honestly, I would love to go. Yeah. Or just really anywhere over there, but it looked like a really nice time. We went to Venice and then to Cinque Terre. Then we went to Florence, then Rome, and then Naples. So it was so cool. Every place looking like a Windows background or laptop background. It really...

you almost get numb to how incredible stuff looks over there. It's really, really cool. But yeah, it looks like it's a movie. Yeah. Like everywhere looks fake. Yeah. I mean, to anybody who ever has the opportunity, I highly recommend it over there. It's so cool. Just everything is so,

Here in the States, especially in the Midwest, it's like if a building's more than 100 years old, it's like a national heritage site. Yeah, that's true. It's like, whoa, we should make this into a museum or something. And like over there, if it's 100 years old, it's the newest building in the city.

Yeah, that's actually crazy to think about. I mean, it's thousands of years old. And it's still there. We're talking BC. Yeah, literally stuff from BC. That's nuts that it's still there. Yeah. It's what's amazing. It's still there. Some of it is actually ruined, but then some of it is... I mean, they've either...

maintained it or made it so that it has stuck around, but so much of it is almost original. It's just wild. It's hard to like stuff that you see you're walking on streets that they've been around for longer than our country has. It's just kind of wild. Cobblestone. Yeah. When I think of Italy, I think of like cobblestone streets, bricks everywhere. Yeah. The history is one thing to go over there for. And I love the history of it. It's really interesting, but

holy cow if you want a trip for food and like wine and beer and all that jazz it is unbelievable that's kind of what it's like if you're not from here and you come to cormorant you know you drive through the hallowed streets you drive by the town hall it's like 75 years old you know you're

buddy's mom went to school there and then you drive by the Cormorant store and you go, wow, you know, big Ken gets gas there in the morning. And then of course there's the pub, the best burgers in town. It's just, it's just like Italy, you know? Can you actually imagine people in Italy going, yeah, I went to America. I spent 14 days in Cormorant. Yeah.

Dude, I think we got to take like a group trip. I think it'd be so fun. I don't know where we would go and how much time. You guys got to go to Germany too. Germany is sweet, especially during Oktoberfest. Dude, I want to go to Oktoberfest. Next year we actually got to do that. What's up with Oktoberfest? God, that looks cool. What's up with it not being in October? It's in October. Really? Nope, it's in September. September 16th through October 3rd. So why is it called Oktoberfest? That's what I'm trying to figure out. It just ends in October? Dude, why is there like...

There's a lot of pretty women there. What's up with that shit? That's just your Snapchat. You're just seeing the hot chicks on Snapchat, dude. CJ's scrolling real quick. No, it's the video of the girls holding 35. Is that the standard situation? Because they're all wearing their... The girdle. What is it? The corset. Is it a girdle? It's the girdle. It's just the way that they sew them over there, I think. Shit.

The beers are bigger and the girdles are tighter. That'd be a good time, though. Yeah, we actually got to go next year. Dirndl dress. Dirndl? D-I-R-N-D-L. Oh, yeah, Dirndl, not girdle. What's a girdle? Girdle's something different. We'll go with girdle.

Yeah, what else is there to do over there? I'd imagine a lot. It's a full country. Many countries, actually. No, I'm talking about Germany. If we go to Germany, what else could we do there besides for just get wicked drunk? Drive fast. Oh, that'd be fun. That would be pretty good. What are we going to do first, though?

Car watching is pretty fun over there. There's a lot of cool cars around here, but you don't see very many Bugattis in Cormorant. You saw a Bugatti there? In Vienna, I saw a Bugatti. It wasn't a Chiron yet. It was a Veyron. Yeah. And, yeah, I mean, you'll see just unbelievable cars while you're there. And you'll just be, like, walking around, and it's like, oh, okay. The cheapest car out of a group is, like, $900,000. Like, damn, that's pretty sweet, but...

It's way cool seeing those cars like out and about then like seeing a Bugatti at a, a big car show or at SEMA or something. Yeah. That's cool. But like you almost expect it to be there, but yeah, you see that guy taking it to like morning tea and you're like, fuck yeah. Dude. I still remember like the first time I saw a Ferrari drive by and just being like,

mind blown. Like you'd only heard about them or like seen them in magazines or on the posters from your, uh, school things. And, uh, gosh, that was so cool. I have to think about that now. Now we're kind of tainted to it, you know, but sorry. Nice.

Continue. Can you grow up? No, I can't, dude. I'm doing my best not to. He's trying to stay this way, yeah. Yeah. Now we just walk around yours that sits in the garage all the time. You don't even drive the goddamn thing. It's a crime. Well, it's just more fun to, you know, have the risk of it sitting there and not sure if you're going to come in and what's going to be wrong with it. Piled up in a four-wheeler, yeah. Anyway, sorry. Continue about how you're tainted. Okay, on.

Oh my gosh. Dude, I still am though. I still love being out in public and seeing a nice car in the wild like that. Like it just gets me so pumped. I agree. Yeah. It's, I mean, it's cool to see him sitting still, but they are meant to be moving. His car, Ben. It's supposed to drive.

Well, that's why I feel like... Not just sit in some building. I guess, what's your stand on, like... I sometimes have a hard time with that. Like, certain cars, I guess, should be in museums. But I think 99% of cars should be driven. At least a little bit. You guys seen that Senna that they, like, helicoptered up into a penthouse? And then there's, like, that F40 or whatever that was on the yacht. I know they can take that off, but they also had to helicopter that on. Or maybe crane it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think... I look at it as, like, people spend...

like a wicked amount of money on art. And it's just like a piece of art. I agree. If you come from that standpoint, completely agree. Yeah. There's a threshold where it's like you have FU money and then there's the FU money where the money isn't even a thing where it's like you can afford to have, I mean, you have an F40 Ferrari that gets craned into your mega yacht that you drive around for two weekends out of the year.

And it's like, that's a totally different level of wealth than, all right, well, I have like a cool car that I want to drive really fast. Like that's, I don't know. I think if you have the ability and the means to do so, they should be utilized. But yeah, there's at some point where it's like, yeah, it is truly a work of art that should probably be just kept perfectly in a glass box away from people. It's hard though, bro, because there's guys that have that about like their fucking statuses

C5 Corvette. That's where the line gets blurry. It only comes out if the UV index is below 2. Yeah. You know, but no rain. That's the type of person that has, like, the bra on the front of their car. Exactly. They deserve to get bullied at car meets. Oh, thank you.

Like somebody needs to go and tell them that that's not okay. Well, it is like that. Cause I agree. It's not okay, but at least they're driving it. But yeah, you're right. There's some people with certain cars that aren't even over like a hundred K, but they're like, not even price wise, but just like, it just, it just is something that is meant to be used. Yeah. It's just a car.

I get it. Like if there's like a, if you have some crazy or some like very significant sentimental value behind a vehicle, then it's like, all right, I want to keep this pristine and I'll only take it out when it's like really special times. But outside of that, like to your example, if somebody just has a C5 Corvette, cool car, drive it.

Yeah. Like it's a cool car. Make sure you use it. I don't know. That's just. Yeah. Take it to dinner. Yeah. Take it to dinner. Take it to lunch. Maybe even breakfast. You never know. He's fired Ben up, dude. He might move it to the other garage stall. Yeah.

He might at least consider taking it to lunch. He's going to hit a deer the next time. Oh, no. Don't put that bad juju on him, Ricky Bobby. Bro, so you guys, last night I did something that pumped my adrenaline up a little bit. Uh,

So CFMoto gave us seven of those Papios, little 125 motorcycles. They also gave us one big, like, 700 motorcycle. We finally got it licensed, titled, insured, everything as of, like, this week. So I'm like, I got to ride this thing, dude. It's getting freezing. Look at the weather. It's at the moment was 43 degrees and was dipping down to about 36 in the next couple hours. And there's a patch of rain coming. And I was like, well, if I just wait 15 minutes, like, looking at the radar, I'm good.

took the bike to Fargo last night. Whoa. And since I waited that little bit for the rain, like obviously it got dark. That wasn't a huge issue. It's got lights. But I start, I'm like, man, it's cold. Why am I so cold right now? I got a coat on, winter gloves on, everything. And I'm like, well, I forget when you're snowmobiling, you're not usually going like 70 for the whole time. Then the rain comes and I'm

like I'm that guy like I'm like I can't and I debated turning back but you know I'm already like 20 minutes into the drive and I was like oh halfway this is so dumb dude and so yeah 40 degrees out and I've always just thought when I see a motorcycle when it's cold whatever do your thing but it was windy and raining and I was like whenever someone gets caught in the rain I'm just like what an idiot like how does that enjoyable at all and then I was just bucking the rain for like I don't know 10 miles just

pouring and I'm soaked. And then I got, I had to pull over like three times to warm my hands up. And I had to like take a shower right when I got home because my knees were so cold. Oh my gosh. Just your knees? I mean like, yeah, my body was fine. Feet were a little wet, but my knees, since it's like kind of a naked bike, like my knees were just capping that. Yeah, they were just getting the...

Getting the cold, but it was just funny. I pull in and it was just like, that was, again, it wasn't fun, but it like got my blood going. I really liked that bike. Yeah, it was a ton of fun. So I'm looking forward to, I'll get it back on Sunday. Man, I have very little desire to ride a motorcycle on the street. You know, Ben, you're just not a rider. I guess I'm not. Although like, it doesn't sound like that fun. And it still does to me. It sounds like,

super fun as to why i did it but just one of our other kind of like local buddies he has a fz07 and he likes stock gearing he's not like trying to stunt it or anything but he's like constantly interstate uh uh stand up wheelies like stand on the seat no brake just you know balancing so just just laying long wheelies down he's like yeah dude i love wheeling it's like so fun i can't not wheelie it and he's like literally always wheeling and i'm just like

just doesn't seem worth it. You know, the speedy, the 65, no way. Mike says a stunt bike. I can see it. I can't believe you don't have a stunt bike. Mike's now on street bikes. He'll have a touring bike. He'll have a crotch rocket, a Harley, and then a stunt bike, his Papio, and then also a stunt Papio.

You'll have six of them. That sounds like the good life. I'm totally into the idea of a stunt bike, but what I'm not into is the idea of these super fast highway wheelies. Leave the stock sprocket. It sounds like a death wish. Sounds like Cheese Grater Nation. You go over backwards at 80 miles per hour? Yikes.

Bad day, man. Bad day. It's one skinned up knee. So that's when you... You can just tell none of us have spent a lot of seat time on a road motorcycle out on the road. Dude, I grew up on a road... Like, I...

put on so many miles with my dad riding like passenger dude we traveled all over the place on that thing true you did do that I think between that and then like trail riding on snowmobiles with him too when I was younger I was just burnt I'm like

I'm like a 45-year-old man for the amount of seat time that I have, dude. I think it'd be fun if you were in a place that was maybe a little more fun to ride. But the problem for us is like your dream Sunday ride is like,

itasca you know great place yeah but it's like pretty boring you know if you if you have the rocky mountains in your back door even like i love that you looked at justin and said great place because you know justin loves it i love that place don't come after justin's parks speaking of my dude i do you remember like going to itasca for the first time i remember being i was like such a little nerd about it i was like

this is this tiny little stream's the start of the Mississippi and we're walking across it. It's crazy. All right. This might be a stupid question, but if the whole river is flowing, how does it just start from a stream? Like, like what, what? Tributaries. Tributaries. Other streams. Other streams. Yeah. But it seems like you,

You didn't, like... I don't know. It seems like a lot of water flowing down into the ocean. Tributaries. He never opened his eyes when he was on those motorcycles. No, there's a lot of things I didn't retain in school, but there's, like, the very basics, and, like, rivers is one of them, how that works. What do you mean, tributaries? Wait, are you...

Hold on, hold on, hold on. CJ, you explain this to me. I want CJ to explain this to me. It's like a bunch of little streams that meet and make one big one, which then forms and becomes a river. But they're not all at the same time. No, yeah, they build.

Okay. Thank you. Thank you. So what don't you understand about rivers? Yeah. No, and I think now, man, like how come they don't like run out of water? No, I guess. What are you? What are you confused about rivers for? I guess now that you say that. Yeah. Now I think about it a little bit more.

Yeah, that makes sense. I don't believe you for a second. It's like, get this off of me. I don't want to talk about rivers anymore. No, that makes sense. Yeah, that's a good point. Now that you mention it, a bunch of little ones make a big one. Okay, yeah, sure, okay. You guys have like a fun fact. If someone asks you a fun fact, I always just pull out. I know it's random. I'm just like...

know the Nile River is the longest river in the world and it flows north there's only nine rivers that flow north where are you hanging out Mike where people are asking for a fun fact I thought there was two but the red river where are you hanging out where they're like hey hit us with a fun fact just my intellectual friends my guys laughing

Okay. That makes sense. Yeah, you clearly haven't met them. That makes sense. You thought there were only two rivers? Yeah, I thought there were only two, but there's more. So, like, I've been steering people wrong for a while. You actually pulled that fun fact out? So, your fun fact was just wrong? No, no. My fun fact was that the Nile River was just a lie. No. Best type of facts, dude. Give me a fun fact. When I was 14 years old...

I was offered a million dollars to come be in the marching band. Have you guys seen that? That's a funny-ass video. Have you seen that, Justin? What? Oh, my God. This is like the biggest lie ever told. When I think of lies, that's like my go-to lie now. I've never heard something so outlandish. I ain't go to college, but I turned it down. Yeah, I turned it down just to do this, just to grind from the rap.

So you had an opportunity to do the drumming thing? Yeah, a scholarship and everything. Where at? I think it was like in Jacksonville. Yeah, a big band in Jacksonville. It was a big college though. And they offered me like 15, some shit like 10 million or something like that. Five million, something like that. Wait, wait, wait. A scholarship. Okay, but not five million dollars. They offered you five million dollars up by the day? Yeah.

- What the fuck are we doing here? - Like, what the fuck are we doing here? - What the fuck are we doing here? - I was so young, I was like, I didn't know what it was. - Wait, wait, wait. Are you sure they offered you five million dollars?

I turned it down. I was like so younger. Like he squints. He's like, I was so younger. Like I didn't know what was going on. I was so younger. Dude, when he cracks a smile and kind of laughs. Turned it down. I love. He's like, shit, dude. I didn't think he was going to question me on this. I love the interviewers. What the fuck are we doing here? What are we doing here?

Dude, how hard do you have to shred in a marching band to get $5 million? How much money you got to have in your bank account to not know if it was 15 or $5 million? That's what I've always loved about you, Ben, is when we're hanging out and someone says something not as outlandish as that, or they just say something like,

kind of like where it doesn't add up you'll just ask them like not even just full interview you're just like okay wait well then how does that work and then we i like it because i would never ask those questions i love it i get to like hear them explain it i'm not saying whatever that person said is a lie like it just maybe doesn't add up and you're like yeah and then they're just sitting there just dead in their tracks like damn i shouldn't have lied damn it yeah

No, but not even if it's a lie. Ben's a good Benter viewer. Can you imagine being paid $15 million to come and play the drums at a college? Well, he wasn't. He was lying. That is probably one of the most wild lies I've seen on social media. That's so funny. I took it down. That's so dumb. I just wanted to grind instead of getting a $15 million bag to play a DJ.

tambourine. Yeah, you know, I just want to be in the mud. Dude, I'll do that for $1,000. I don't need $15 million to bang on a drum and walk down a street with my bros. I'm going to do that. I love that. I just wanted to grind.

I turned it down. I turned it down. I turned it down. But I was like so younger. So younger. I was so younger. So Justin, what else you been up to on like a daily basis, you know? Long pause. Justin goes fishing. I have a little boat that I've been fishing out of a little bit. So I try to fish. You got a little rod too? Yeah, I got a little rod, a little boat. Catch a little fish.

Pulling up his little truck. Got my little truck, got my little boat. But yeah, I don't know. It's a good way to pass the time. I really like being outdoors. So if I can't hunt, then I'll fish. It's like a nice classic male activity. Well, what I applaud about you is that...

along the long list of things I like to do, I really like fishing. I mean, I don't do it. Mike's like, I need to go fishing. He's checking the radar. All right, it looks like a tornado is coming in. That sounds more like motorcycle weather. I think if I wait 11 minutes, I should be able to beat it. It's out in the middle of the lake. It's just rolling in. I love that. How to

How to add adrenaline to your fishing trip. Justin built, he's an electrical engineer. He built like a, what is it, a kayak or is it slightly bigger than that? So I have a kayak and I've built a motor controller and then have a trolling motor that I had on hand. Right. So I can zip around the lake on this little kayak. I mean, essentially a trolling motor, but like it's all. I drive it with my feet so I can fish the whole time. It looks absurd. If you see me on the water, it just looks like I'm some.

like wacko. I probably am. But I just look up. What are you wearing, Justin? Usually, I don't know, five-piece suit. All leather. So he doesn't get sunburned. He's wearing like a full-blown knight. He's wearing like a full-blown knight armor. Head to toe. I'm just covered in chain mail.

He's got a gag ball in his mouth. Oh my gosh. Dude, that'd be a really, that'd be a really funny bit. Who can wear the weirdest thing while fishing? I guess while doing anything, I would probably have big wrench helped me build a transformer boat costume that I could wear. Oh,

I don't know if I want to say that publicly yet. It's such a good idea. I don't want somebody to steal it. All right. I agree. I agree. Yeah. That's a really good idea. Yeah. We might have to use your help with that. If you're a professional fisherman and you wouldn't mind helping out a couple of degenerates with a video idea, reach out to our email. Yeah. There we go. Yeah. Perfect.

I think you might have to preface if they're fishing tournaments because there's a lot of fishermen out there. In Minnesota. Local. Local. Local. Local. Justin, you're an electrical engineer. You might be able to help us with this idea as well. Making like a remote control four-wheeler. Like fully remote controlled? Yeah. So like you could like drive it from sitting in the truck. But like I don't love to like ride anymore, but I still want to just feel something. Yeah.

Oh, is it a...

Is it like you're a little electric four-wheeler or is it like a gas quad? No, full-size gas. You have a utility quad down there, right? Yeah. Yeah. You could do something like that. Then it's just throttle, steering. I mean, that's about it. Do you need to be able to drive it from anywhere in the world or just like- Fuck it. Why not? Well, how much more electrical engineering does that take? To be able to, if you want to turn it on and drive it when you're like on the other side of the-

We just need a cell modem. Dude, I want to send this thing in a shipping container to Africa with all the Hellcats that are stolen and drive that thing out and just have it going rogue. Yeah, we could do that. Not to be insensitive, but just quoting pop culture and movies, we could make it look like a Godzilla robot and ship it to an Asian country. Yeah, that wasn't insensitive. That's insensitive, right?

Well, I don't know where the line is anymore. You thought that was a good idea to say? Yeah. I'm like, the logistics of turning it into an RC, sure. The logistics of making a freaking four-wheeler look like Godzilla. Let's pitch that one to Big Reg. Can we maybe... Is it possible to remotely drive? It doesn't have to have a clutch. He's like, what if we just...

bring it as a robot to Japan and just demolish cities with it. Oh yeah. It has to be big too. So that would be like definitely a fun project for us to do regardless. But Ken has been talking that he's kind of hit like a peak in his life where everything that can be automated is automated. So he was looking to for your help to start automating other tasks like, you know, like wiping his butt. Yeah. Oh yeah.

Well, he already got a bidet. He got a bidet. That's where I was going to go. Is it a portable bidet, though? You seen one of those? It's a bidet. It's in a box. It has not been opened yet. That's what he needs your help with. It's opening the box. It doesn't set itself up. I imagine Ken's life one day being like, he wakes up, opens his eyes,

Puts his feet down, like shoes come out from underneath his bed, and then he just stands up on a conveyor belt, and it like conveyors him into the bathroom, and then there's just a shower that pops down as he's on the conveyor belt, sprays him down. Then he just has to turn, and then they start like combing his hair. He just has to open his mouth and brushes his teeth, and then at the end of the conveyor belt, it goes into his closet.

Then we're like, he's got his robots hidden away. Bro is living in a Pixar movie. No, he's not that technologically advanced. He's just lazy. It would be so funny because after all that, he'd pull up his phone, sit on the couch, and be just like, at the end of it, what a morning.

It is nice to, we're just having a nice fall Saturday. And I was thinking last week we were mowing the lawn with all those guys together. I feel like it's the ideal male Saturday, you know? Mowing the lawn with 100 people is an ideal male Saturday. 10 minutes, full 10 acres cut. If you could draw up for just a generic man, what's the ideal Saturday setup? Dirt bikes. I mean, your wife's out of town. Shh.

Okay, Justin's got one box. Wait, what would it be another great thing? Maybe going fishing? Yeah. This is Justin. Justin's wife is out of town. He went fishing this morning. He's catching up with the boys. Had some beers before lunch. We're doing it. Had beer for lunch. Check. Oh, man. I might be having an ideal Saturday. All you're missing is some speed.

Whether it's in a car or running. Crank. Yeah. Dude, all you're missing is just crystal meth. That's all you need. Justin doesn't do drugs, Mike. Mike, stop trying to corrupt our smart friends. I grew up in a...

A hard neighborhood we know. I grew up my idea Saturday. Crush up some sweet crack rocks. What's speed? What is speed? I don't want to get off topic here. Speed's cocaine. I don't think it is, man. What is it? Speed is not cocaine. It's something harder than that. It just says amphetamine.

Oh, not good. Not good. I don't know. I feel like I kind of, I might've checked all the boxes. I woke up, I went fishing, I made coffee, got lunch with the boys, got a lunch beer.

Now we're hanging out, just having male conversation. Yeah, a bunch of male conversation. I think all you're missing now is just like one task that you definitely either didn't sign up for or didn't plan to do. You know, just something where like some guys are having a tough time lifting something into the field. Yeah, but then it spirals into something. Like now all of a sudden you're buddies and now you're like over at their place rolling dice and then you win a bunch of money because you just got lucky or whatever. And then you're playing pool over at the...

At the bar. And then it's just a great time. It all starts just because like you try to be the friendly neighbor. You see somebody, they're like struggling to move boxes in their house. And it's like, oh, don't worry. I'll give you a hand and then come over. And then all of a sudden you're 20 grand in debt. It's just, it goes downhill so fast. You just got to be careful with these ideal male Saturdays. I was going to say. You can't go too ideal. Yeah.

You like help move the box for the old lady. And then she's like, here, here's my son's baseball card collection that you can have, you know, and then you get it and you get a bunch of money. Sell it. That's right. Steal stuff from an old lady. I haven't seen my son in 10 years. Take his baseball cards.

I do feel like an important part of the ideal male Saturday is getting a task around the house that you need it to done. Whether you're like, oh, the driveway quick. There you go. That's huge. Just going in there and I'm going to wipe something down and then maybe move some boxes around. Maybe I'll sweep it out. Maybe.

Maybe I'll even bust out the shop vac. Holy cow, man. That just gets my motor running. Yeah, it's just like stuff that didn't really need to get done, but you just did it. Okay, any Saturday that involves power tools, that's a good Saturday as well. Drill some holes? Oh, man, Justin. I could make your day, brother. I got to set up a sauna at my house. Oh, you got one? Yeah. Like, infrared or steam? Steam. Oh, shit. Where'd you get it from? Mark. How much?

Don't worry about it. Was it a Mark price? You got it for free, you motherfucker. You got one for free? Well, it's the hot tub price with Mark. It's the drop down the stairs price. $3.99, baby. What are you going to put in your garage or what? Downstairs, I suppose? Yeah. That's going to be nice. Yeah. I'm really excited about that. Yeah. You got some ideal mail set up tonight or what?

Uh, maybe, hopefully it depends on me helping hands. I got me. I don't know. Um, well Ken will come help. Yeah. My house has been like getting renovated for the past three,

three months pretty much and uh it's finally done i had breakfast at my house for the first time oh it's done i have congrats bro that's fast yeah yeah um i got a couch delivered two couches delivered yesterday so i have upstairs and downstairs yep i have a place to sit now to talk about on a deal friday two couches yeah believable

Yeah, it's coming together. It's pretty nice. I feel domesticated. I feel like a pharaoh anymore. It's so funny, man. You've been living in this house for how many months? Just no couches. Four months. You just cooked your first meal this morning. I didn't have any chairs to sit down on. No couch. Wow.

Barely had a TV. I had no source of entertainment. We need to get a little violin here for him. Can you just give me a little elaboration on what barely a TV is? It was small. Is it small or does that mean you have a broken TV? It was only 4K. 4K at 30 frames.

No, it was just on the ground. Oh, okay. That is a... No, it was on Fox. Yeah, barely a TV, yeah. It was on... Dude, have you guys heard the thing where it's like, you know how men will put their...

bed on the floor among a few other things maybe just have one chair and yeah tv but um the the the girl equivalent i guess lately that i've seen on tiktok is that girls will have tiny tvs yeah which is crazy in this day and age like girls always have a tiny ass tv and not always i shouldn't say like always but obviously there's a few and then you're just and then why is that true though dude

Dude, Megan had the smallest TV I've ever seen throughout all of college. It was smaller than my laptop. She had it set on top of a dresser all the way across. I know, dude. Fucking binoculars. Dude, that's how every girl. It comes out of the fucking telescope. Hold on, man. What is up with that? They just don't have better eyesight or they don't realize they make bigger TVs?

I think the eyesore, yeah. At some point in every man's life, they skip the box spring and put the mattress on the floor, at least for a certain stint. Yeah, I was walking that for a minute. Yeah, and there's nothing wrong with it, but it definitely is an eyesore, which is like, who cares if it's an eyesore? But I don't think there's anything wrong with the quality of sleep you're getting. Is it an eyesore? I think so, yeah. Like you walk in, ah!

It doesn't cause damage. It's like when you look at somebody welding. You walk into somebody's house. Fuck, man. Why didn't you tell me? Dude, can we shut your door, bro? Your bedroom door? Sorry, it's making Mike uncomfortable. Do you have

Do you have any like beer boxes that you flattened out and like stapled to the wall yet? Yeah. Why would you do that? Do it. Well, it's Ben's first house. First time he's lived on his own. Why would you staple beer boxes to a wall? Okay, fine. Mail them to the wall. Is that what you do? Yeah. And then you hit me and then you put all the bottles that you guys drank up on the top. Yeah. You're working on your bottle collection, right? Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, I've seen the bottles. I've never seen the boxes. Really? You've never seen the boxes? Clearly, I'm uncultured. Yeah, no, for sure. What the fuck's wrong with me? The bottles are easy. Two podcasts in a row, man. Now I've got to go to college. A totally different demographic is coming after him now.

Them and sexy red. There's dude, there's nothing wrong with doing that either. But like I did it and looking back on it, the whole bottle above the, the kitchen, I mean, hope the, hope the trend dies at some point, or maybe not. Maybe it's just a fun thing to do, but I did it. And then once it was time to take them down, it's like right after I threw all of them away, I'm like, why did I ever put empty bottles up?

there. I thought you were going to say, why did I throw this away, man? Moving into the next house. Look at this kitchen. God, it's bare. Why did I save these? I feel like it's just part of maturing as an adult. It's like things you do as a man growing up. You've got to put

around your house as decoration. Throw a kegger in the living room. One thing I still just love is like, I'm not going to go overboard with it, but mostly in the garage. I just love a good flag on the wall. Do you have any flags on the wall at your new house? No, in the garage though. Sydney said no flags in the house. No flags in the house. Mike started stapling it. So if you're going to turn this garage into kind of like your man cave, what's every man cave got to have? Flag on the wall, obviously. It's got to have a ladder.

It's got... What are you doing with that ladder, Blake? I don't know. Just in there in case. Well, I actually had to take down a bunch of beehives or wasp hives the other day, so I'll use it for that. But it should have a fridge. Mine doesn't have a fridge. Yeah, it's got to have a beer fridge. It's got to have a fridge. I think you actually... This is a tough thing for me. You actually have to justify whether or not

You're going to put enough drinks in that fridge and have enough drinks coming out of that fridge. Otherwise, it's not worth it. It's like that fridge over there that had one Celsius in it today. We've got many fridges up the wazoo around here. But that's what I'm saying. I guess, what does a fridge cost a month to run? Like a decently efficient fridge. Like maybe three.

Three dollars? Oh, okay. Never mind then. We're spending way more than that on beer. You got like a diesel refrigerator? What are you worried about the cost of your fridge for? What about your fridge being plugged in, Mike?

No, I'm just worried about like... In college, I remember that Mike... Is your refrigerator running? Steve, Mike's roommate, had an extra mini fridge plugged in and it was either that Steve was going to make you pay for the electricity that the mini fridge cost or you were going to make him pay. I think it might have been the other way around because I was all about it. I'm like, dude, I want a mini fridge. Of course I want a mini fridge. Because that's what it was. Steve was trying to get you to pay for the mini fridge. I don't know, but... I think every man cave needs to have an old rolling chair that's just...

Yeah, I love that. It might have been taken out of a dumpster like four years ago. I have one of those in my garage right now. But it's mangled because it's just a comfy seat, man. It's got a lot of seat time on it. Oh, yeah. A lot of use over the years. And same thing. Got to have a couch that's completely blown out.

But when you sit in it, you're just like, damn, this is comfy. It's hard to get out of. It's home. I drive past the garage, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a dude. It usually is. In the garage, and they have a TV. Usually they have somewhere to sit, and it's a good vibe. I am fully jealous. I drive by, wish I had a TV. Wish I just hung out in my garage like that. Start hanging out in your garage. Again, Mike's going to start hanging out in his garage when it's 30 degrees in there.

I just finally got around to it. I just forgot that he hangs on a gigantic garage every single day. I didn't. This is nice. It came to my head as soon as I said that. I'm like, wait. This shit rocks, bro. It's so nice to be alone. I'm such a man.

I love hanging out in the shop and you guys know that. So you're right. I kind of came to mind as soon as I said that, but I have a heater in there and I think I get so excited about having a heated garage because grew up, never had a heated garage, but like probably until like I was 18, I think we finally got a heater in there and I

having a heated garage to me is just like, dude, like you can just be in here. It's not freezing cold. Yeah. Like I can just change my headlight and it's like, I don't want to kill myself. Like it's great. It's nice. It's the little things. Yeah. Dude, I, this is a garage thing. Some of you guys get it. Some of you won't, but, uh, when you have a snow covered vehicle and you bring it into your heated garage and you check it the next morning, all the snow is gone. There's just that massive,

massive puddle of water underneath it that's so satisfying. It's like, oh, that's seeping into like the wall. Yeah. Just slowly going up the drywall and starting to like pop out a little bit. You hop in your car's warm. You're like, fuck, yeah. Gonna add to that bitch tonight. Yeah. Do you got a drain in your garage or no? No.

Which is, yeah. Although it had one of those weird, like, it's like a mat. It's like a floor saver. And it has, like, inflated edges. And it's like a big black mat. I'm like, does that hold the water? Must. Yeah, must. Interesting. I've never seen one. Yeah, man. Growing up, I never had a heated garage. So anytime I'd, like, go over to Ryan's house, you're just like, dude, you can just park your car. Your car is warm.

Yours was like... It was like the most mind-blowing thing to me. I was like, this is crazy, bro. Like, every day, it's like a fresh start. Like, you don't have snow on it. Fresh start. The varying levels of heated garages, too. You know, you have people that keep it 50, 55, 60, and then, again, we'd come into yours, and, you know, props to Randy. Randy's like 70. It was fully 70, yeah. He kept it fucking hot in there, bro. Yeah, if you needed... If you were getting cold in the house, go to the garage. Yeah.

Last night, I was extra bored on my phone. So, you know, when you like scroll through your apps, you know, you start out on Instagram and then you go to maybe Twitter and then maybe, you know, you like go through all your apps, right? And my last case is Facebook.

And so I hop on Facebook and I even went through my own personal Facebook. So I went over to the Seaboys. Oh my gosh. I was digging deep, dude. We had recently posted the boat ramp video on Facebook and it's blowing up. It's got like 10 million views over there. Yeah.

And generally, when you think of Facebook, you think of everybody being old and cranky and hating it. But people love the boat ramp video, the stories. It's like a community in there. People like I used to do this with my, you know, uncle, my drunk uncle would take us to the boat ramp. Yeah, we'd stand and watch. It is. It's the most wholesome community.

on Facebook. I actually am surprised at how positive the comments were. Like, love this. Wish they would have been there to give me some encouragement last weekend. Like, stuff like that. Like, I'm just like, it warms my heart. Yeah, I couldn't believe it. I figured people would be pissed on Facebook. That actually gives me a little bit of faith in the Facebook community. I love Facebook. I'd say I go on Instagram and Facebook equally as much

I might even use Facebook more than Instagram because it's fun because you can go on like groups and find weird stuff for sale and see that girl that you went to high school with that's pregnant now. I would definitely consider it more fun. It is. You're kind of like, what am I doing?

You don't really know what you're going to get. And on Instagram, you might see the coolest video you've ever seen all day. But like, that's about it. I kind of get sick of Instagram. So there was this one lady back to it. Her name is Charisse. She said, I've been known to have to try multiple times while telling the other people watching, don't worry, I'll get it right in a minute. She said, I would have loved the encouragement. So I just commented back because I was real bored. I said, best attitude to have.

Love it. Thumbs up emoji. Some guy comments, Paul comments back, being a MILF always helps. Smiley face. So I go back to Charisse's profile. It's kind of a MILF. Nice. I love that. And then what's the other one? Some dude's like. Someone says, so funny, love it. And then James responds, I bet you don't even own a boat.

And then someone responds to him and says, I bet you nobody would go on yours if you did. To which he responds, I'm licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard. Well, you just lost your job. And then I responded, weird flex for the scenario. But it's good to see Facebook, you know, turn in a corner. Facebook's coming back, man. Think how positive Facebook would be if Jake was banned. Yeah.

No, he just picks his fights here and there. We talked about that. He just loves picking fights, verbal keyboard fights on Facebook. Yeah, I'm always curious what these keyboard warriors are like in real life.

Jake. It's just Jake. I think I'd be more stoked if they were like Jake. Whether you like him or not. Are these people just fired up? Or do they just think they know more about a scenario? What is it? You picture somebody who is so...

angry online and then you see them in real life and I feel like 90% of the time they're not actually mad. They're just like trolling. Or they just don't have the courage to

say anything in real life. Yep. I feel like you can usually tell when somebody's like actually hating and when somebody's like just trolling. Yeah. And I don't know. I feel like a lot of those, those were mostly fun comments. Yeah. But like you see comments every once in a while. It's like, Jesus, who hurt you? It's like, damn, dude. It's just, it's always come down to like the getting a text from someone and not under, like you truly, you can't get the sarcasm. You can't get the emotion that you get through text. Yeah.

And so you're right. I think a lot of them are just kind of having fun by like saying their thing. Yeah. And then it gets taken. And then you're just trying to like correct how it was. Who crawled up your ass. See, I texted CJ today and said, are you coming to dinner or no?

And then he called me. He's like, hey, man, I'm sorry. Like, I'm on my way. I was like, no, I was just wondering, like, if you were coming or not, you know? Yeah, exactly. Like, it's so hard to tell. Yeah, you can take things the wrong way. Yeah, for sure. Read in the wrong tone. When we were at Hay Days, there was, like, two kids walking by our booth, and one of them went, overrated. And I popped out, and I said, the fuck did you just say? And the kid literally went white and was like, oh, Ben, Ben, what's your problem?

What's up, dude? We're such big fans. It was one of those in person because that happens a lot over comments. What did you say then? They literally came up and they were like, can we get a picture? Can we get a picture? I said, no. I was like, bro. How should be? I was like, no. I just walked away. Am I a hater for hating haters? Well, you're coming around. Wait, what? I don't think you're a hater for hating haters. No. I don't think you are a hater for hating haters. Maybe it's one of the only things that you're allowed to be a hater of.

I'm working on not being a hater. But, you know, it's like... I don't think I was a big one, but being a hater is definitely not a good thing. Yeah, just being like a...

The constant negative on the internet. There's certain people. Or in life. I think there's a difference between being a jokester on the internet and then being a hater. Yeah. Dude, I don't understand the hate of just like going on to be so angry typing something. It's such a funny thing to me because it's like that's not how you want to get your anger. You can only type so mad before it just like it's not going to work. Like...

you stupid bitch. Well, that's what it is too. You can even, you can even have the most perfect, like hating response ever. And it could be the most detailed and like all even a hundred percent true, but it's still just a bunch of words. And then somebody can just literally respond. Shut up, nerd. Yeah. It's always those that win. Yeah. Yeah.

On that note, it is time for you. It is time for all of you nerds to shut up. Damn, Mike. Till next week. Till next week. Let's go clean the garage, boys. Yeah. All right. Subscribe if you haven't. We'll see you next week. Peace. Bye, Mom.
