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.

Ken, I saw you were like getting robbed by some chicks last night or what was the deal there? What? Like taking your money? Oh yeah, your girlfriend's friends. She was just like kept asking for money and I just had to keep giving her cash. Why? You didn't have to. Yeah, what? She had a gun under the table. Did she really? Or were you just giving her the money because she's cute? You caught me. How much money? Like 600 bucks. She filmed the TikTok and she's just like, hey, just keep handing me cash. And I was like, Jesus.

She was not only using it for your clout, but then she kept the money? No, I took the money back. Oh, you did get the money back. The way Alex was telling me about it was that she just took the money and you gave her a bunch of money. That was my gambling money. Dude.

Do you always keep a couple hundred on you for gambling? Well, no, I won. So I had some cash on me. And giving it out to the ladies. Ken's always strapped. Yeah, Ken won big on pull tabs last week and was just flexing it to everyone. So I'm not surprised that people know you have money. How much money did you win, Ken? 700 bones in the last week. God damn, Ken. Wow.

good for you man dude i'm on a complete different uh social trend than my girlfriend like everything that she says i have no idea what she's talking about same with ryan i'm on a complete different social trend of as ryan too like he's always talking about like these tiktok trends and shit that's going on one i'm not even on tiktok but two i have no clue what anyone is ever talking about

ever when it comes to TikTok. I think my TikTok is vastly different than my girlfriend's. My girlfriend's has like, Alondra's has, you know, people that she follows and keeps up on. It's food reviews and like,

fashion stuff and all that. And all mine is, is like classic dudes like us with just one off tick tocks doing something really funny. Like I saw one in a guy, he's holding a deer head and then, uh, the deer like comes around the corner and sees it. And it's like a mounted deer and he's holding the mountain deer head and the deer looks at him and then runs away. Like that's my type of humor. You know, weird. Mine's only Latino women dancing.

That's interesting. I don't know why, because I don't like it, you know? Yeah, it's weird that they would keep serving you. I don't know why, yeah. Do you and anybody share an account? No. Just you on there, huh? Just me, yeah. I don't know. It's weird. God, that's annoying, dude. Everyone gets their own thing. That's so annoying, man. I'm like, yeah, okay, so long press it, and then press not interested. CJ's like, I don't know. I don't know.

know i don't know why it'll eventually figure itself out yeah trying to mess up his algorithm that is perfectly crafted yeah if this is what it's serving me this is what it's served that's how mine is mine is just like whatever latina women no no but whatever it's giving me is like whatever like i really do enjoy like i don't really scroll past a lot which maybe is a bad thing but like you know so i've watched some people watching their tiktoks and they're like me me me watch them

and i'm like i'm watching almost every single one because it feels very curated very entertaining to me our tiktok got deleted the other day um our c boys tiktok which is really weird i really don't understand that app and and what works and what doesn't but uh they just straight up just deleted our account 600 000 followers too just gone no explanation or anything um

So after that, like I didn't even have like that's like the only account that I had access to. So like every time my girlfriend would send me a TikTok, I'd be like, I can't watch it. I don't have a TikTok because I would just use Seaboys and then it got deleted. So she would just send me screenshots of like the most important part of it. Oh, my God. That's dedication. I'd be like, OK, all right, I'll just explain this in person. But but here's like the the gist of the TikTok. I'm like, why are you sending me this?

And you just couldn't download your own TikTok account? I just didn't want to. Yeah, I feel that. It's a pretty big time waster. Huge. Massive. It is funny, though, that you watch them all, Mike. I mean, I would agree. I do, too. But people's attention span has gotten so short. Whenever there's a long TikTok, you can fast forward them now. They're like a minute max. I mean, you can make them longer, but typically they're under a minute, and people fast forward them.

through that. They just, if you hold the screen, it'll go twice as fast. I'm like, well now we're, now we're in taking these short videos at double time. It's just insane. Interesting. Twice the tick tocks and half the time. Yeah. That's good though. Because these some of the ass tick tockers are so goddamn annoying. Like, um,

I was watching one yesterday that Greta was showing me, and it was this guy cut his railing, and he put this thing off of the ceiling, and he was like, all right, I'm going to hold on to this, and it's going to lower me down to the second floor. And he wasted a minute being like, oh, this is crazy. This is crazy. Should I do this? Should I do this? Oh, it's the hype up. It was like the hype up, and I was like, oh my, it was driving me insane. I was like, I wish I could just...

Just one, not even be watching this right now. But two, just skip to the end if it does happen. That whole toxicness was actually born on Facebook and it is violently worse. I mean, I don't let it happen much or ever again. But like I really remember sitting through like an eight minute video where they were going to do something and they didn't do whatever they were going to do. And it was so lame until seven minutes and 30 seconds.

Just insane. I believe the reason that they do it on TikTok is because anything over a minute you can monetize on. So they just stretch it out to be over a minute. Like YouTubers used to do that when a video had to be 10 minutes. If it was a nine minute video, they would just do a black screen for the last minute. That was so dumb. It's so dumb. I'm glad we don't have to...

ever do anything of the sort of that. No, no. I mean, you might as well just quit doing it if you're doing that. That's what I'm saying. It's like you're truly in it, I guess, for the money could make a couple more minutes of content or could do nothing and reap the benefits. Not what I love about Instagram and tick tock basically is it's just, you can find little things that you would never actually watch, but you get little taste of them. Like I found this guy doing parkour and I would never watch parkour. So,

saw that caitlin chan guy when we were in utah one time yeah incredibly talented but not really my goat i almost said goatee not really my go-to of things to watch but i watched this guy in new york and it is certified the craziest shit i've ever seen i'm about to pull it up is this roku where the hell's the roku

We got two bottom of the line TVs on this podcast. We got an Amazon Fire TV and a TCL. The two worst TVs you can buy. The best part about that is the worst TVs you can buy nowadays aren't even bad. Are pretty decent. I saw a Snapchatter that I follow. I don't think they are. And he's moving into his like million dollar condo and he's like, I'm going and buying a new TV. And he picked up like an 85 inch TCL. Wow.

I was like, bro, what are you doing? Buy a Samsung. I only got that for like 500 bucks, though. Probably, because it's only worth 500 bucks. Anyway, look at this guy. Jumping off of a building to a pole. The way he hopped off was casual. Yeah, I've seen some nutty ones. I saw a guy jump off of a three... It was either a three or four-story building onto a sand pile. Wait, what the...

How does his hand not just freaking get shredded? What about his back, too? I mean, he just slid down a brick building. Four stories. And this is honestly not the craziest. This is nuts, man. These guys just...

It's like that feeling when your balls are in your stomach, they're addicted to it. Yeah. And they have to do something crazier and crazier every time to get that feeling. Wow. I'm actually really impressed. This guy has a massive resume of scaling multiple story buildings. This one's crazy. Front flip to the pole. Wow. Over the wall. I've seen a handful of parkour stuff on Instagram, of course, and this is no joke. This is some of the craziest stuff I've ever seen. This one's nuts too.

No. No. It's like, what are we doing here? Ken, can you look up a stat for me and just see how many people die a year from trying to parkour? Yeah, that's an interesting stat. Wait, over, under? Pickleball.

No, pickleball is not death. Over pickleball? You die playing pickleball. I don't know if there's any deaths in pickleball. You just tear your ACL. Scratch up your elbow. Maybe take a tumble. I feel like people that die in parkour, they maybe just label it as suicide. They're like, there's no way he was trying to do this. But he was. Is there a stat?

There's a Reddit stat that is completely made up, but it says 42. A year? That sounds about right. No, that is literally just somebody throwing a number out there. 42. 42 deaths a year due to parkour. All Russians. It's a rather niche sport. That's what I figured, that the masses that play pickleball, more people have to. There is a great danger to...

Parkour. Yeah, but it is a niche sport. There's a lot of people doing parkour, but it's like more like a wall flip and, you know, like a little gainer off something and pretty chill. That's being like, oh, there's a bunch of people that ride motocross and then there's like 10 guys in the world who are doing like...

distance jumps did you ever have a parkour phase of course i could have seen you having a parkour phase like you and your buddies going out around town and like you like tied your shoes super tight and you were just jumping on them like i wouldn't even consider it that though because like i could never even do like a wall flip or so you did try yeah and i like used to be able to backflip on the ground for like a little bit and then i had one sketch moment where i like land on

on my head. And I'm like, I don't like that anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Like only like an on the ground backflip block. And you went back to just planking. Did you get that video I sent? Pull this thing up and watch this guy. This dude's nuts too. Oh,

oh this one's crazy this guy and this guy is pretty consistent with his uploads people are like dude he does not shit like this shit goes wrong you're done well how does he even know where he's going that's what i'm saying it's dark i mean restart it he jumped over that sidewalk like if he wasn't running fast enough that's yeah that's insane you gotta wait wait wait look how freaking high that is dude

And he has a bunch of those. This one is insane. He lands in between that. He was perfectly centered. Yeah, I mean, he went exactly where he wanted to, but still, dude. But the sheer height, too. People got to keep in mind, like, 150 feet is doable for humans, but not if you don't know what you're doing, just as landing-wise and everything. Like, you could totally die. Even the landing, yeah. That's why, like... He's risking it by having to aim. I'm not a big heights guy. I can't even jump off of, like, a...

Like, I've never even done the high dive at the pool. Really? Yeah. Well, that shit hurts, dude. Yeah, I've never really been a fan of it. Just slap your nuts on the water. Yeah, unless you're going, like, perfectly. If you got a big sack, you're going to slap it. Yeah. Ken. Some of us have bigger sacks than others. No, dude, I love it. Well, I've avoided it. I love cliff jumping. Ken uses the stairs to get into the pool. That stuff is highly addicting, but, I mean, it's not for everyone. I'm intrigued, Mike. What'd you do when you were just, when you were a little fella running around Holly?

Well, there's nowhere to cliff jump. Although, I don't know if I've ever talked about this, but we had in Holly, we had a thing called The Spot. We just called it The Spot. Yeah, keep going. Sorry. I'm just picturing Ken taking the stairs into the pool because his nuts are too big. And then the pool starts overflowing. But yeah, I can't even risk just to jump in.

all right carry on carry on no dude when when i was younger when me and my hood rat friends doing hood rat stuff uh we just had a place called the spot and it was next to the river and we had uh you know bike jumps and bonfire pits and and then on oh is that where you did your graffiti uh that was graffiti bridge yeah uh like on garbage week you know you go grab like couches and chairs and whatever else and you just

we just bring it there and we would chill there. You know, it was like the classic, like someone would bring like a nudie magazine. Oh, nice. Stash that in that tree in the hole so that it doesn't get wet. And just like, we did a lot of BMX stuff, a lot of like swimming in the river, jump in the river, like just a classic. And we just called it the spot. You go into the spot after school. Yeah. We had the spot too. And it was, uh,

It was like this dumpster behind this building, and they had tried throwing out a couch. So there was a couch sitting next to the dumpster, but it was kind of covered because it was behind the dumpster, and there was these walls and shit. And that was the spot for like a week until the garbage man came. And took the couch away. What the hell were you doing there? You just sat there, man. Just chilled. It was like, we're going to the spot.

There's nothing like being a 13 year old boy sitting on an old couch, looking at a nudie magazine. But I mean, it's like every, every young dude's dream to have like your own space. I mean, it's kind of like our dream, you know, have our own land that you could. So it's like when we could build our own stuff, I don't know who owned the land, but, uh,

He was going to say, nobody ever kicked you out of the spot? No, it was crazy. Because I feel like that's the go-to. It was just across from the trailer park, so when we needed to go back to my friend's house, sometimes we'd just swim across the river and go to his house. Oh, cool. That was great. Across the river from the trailer park? Yeah. Ah, trailer park adjacent. Do you guys remember planking? Yeah. Yeah, I had a pretty good video. Did you really? Yeah. First videos on YouTube, actually. Well, me, you, and Matt. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That's what I'm picturing. A classic song, man. Oh, yeah. Like the dreamscape or whatever. Dude, uh... Tell me about it. What happened? The planking or the video with Matt? It was just insane, bro. The craziest places to plank. Planking was a big trend because anyone could do it. Yeah, that's a thing. I never got into it because I don't think I could ever really get my body the right way. Here. For those of you that don't know what we're talking about right now... Oh, shit. Yeah, I forgot. There used to be this trend...

Before these stupid ass TikTok trends were a thing. We had this type of stupid trend. Yes, yes. This is, you know, some real taste of a trend. Yeah.

Where you would just go to random places and you would just plank as a board. You'd be real stiff. Face down. Face down. And you'd just prop yourself up in weird places. And it's called planking. And some people did it a lot better than others. Some people would balance. Yeah. Oh, shit. Mike's planking right now. Mike's planking on the podcast table. You've got to spin so you're hanging off more. There you go. From my view, this is a great plank. That's a great plank. It's stiff as a board, man.

So I think it got to the point of like, where's the craziest places that you can plank? And I'd imagine people were probably getting murked off planking in crazy places too. Had to have. Planking happened after Tim Tebowing. Because Tim Tebow was, he was a college quarterback at the time. He was one of the best in the nation. Every time he'd score a touchdown, he'd go like this. And like take a knee and do that. And then everyone started doing Tim Tebowing everywhere. Yeah.

And faith healing was when you like put your boobs up to the area. Yeah, you're like...

Stupid, stupid. It was electric, man. It was electric. Did you find the planking video? I can't find the planking video, but I did find the video when Matt tried jumping through the swing. Oh, play that. I sent it to Ryan. That's great. Yeah. 11 years ago. It's got 199 views. It's a very clickable title, too. So I don't know why it doesn't have more views because I titled it Funny Bike Crash. Four exclamation points. You did turn off comments, though. Why? We were getting a lot of hate. Oh, yeah.

Couldn't take it. Man, I'm excited to see this. It's been a while. This is a true classic from the vault. Me and CJ had this friend, Matt. He lived in between us. We've talked about him multiple times on the podcast. He's the most interesting man alive. Actually, I would just love to get him on this podcast and just...

Spam call. Sorry. It's okay. But anyway, this is Matt. Matt went through a stunt phase. You know, he went through his like shitting in weird places phase. We had a planking phase. He had a fashion phase. Faction? Fashion. Oh, fashion. Yeah, that's right. A dirt bike stage. A workout stage. He's done everything. Fishing, all that. Fishing stage. Anyways, this was his crazy stunt. Look, he's wearing a wife beater. Oh my, he's got the bars proper on that thing.

Oh, you might have to turn this off. So this song was like popular for montages at the time. And it just made you look stupid. That's me. That's me. Oh, you can tell by the brother Jake. He's going to jump through the swing. Dude, see, you've been a cameraman. Terrible camera work. Oh! So he gets clipped. He gets clipped. And...

And I panicked and turned the camera. But then here you can see we're laughing. You're literally rolling on the ground laughing. And Matt got the wind knocked out of him. So bad. God, Ben and I were such little kids. Yo, yo, the best part about this is he did it successful the first time. And then we go, yo, you should do it again. Because we knew there's no way he jumps through this swing twice. We were trying to go viral, man.

Look at those shoes I'm wearing. You just know I'm a little kid with Asics on like that. Asics and the ankle socks. The mid-ankle socks showing.

Dude, we've always kind of been... I have quite a few videos. Let me pull up. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. Do the pogo stick one. 17 videos I've posted to YouTube. Wow. We've been doing this. We've been doing this. One of them is just my Traxxas RC car driving around in the basement for 23 seconds. Do you have the...

Pogo stick video? Yeah, pogo stick. Hold that up. That shit is funny. So this is also in Matt's stunt phase. Okay, so this is like an extreme pogo stick where if you air it up properly and you weigh enough, you can jump like 10 feet in the air. Matt hops up on this retaining wall to jump off of it to try and get more. And me and CJ sit in the background right now.

I think I've been in like eighth grade here. Yeah, so I was behind the camera here, and very shortly I make a huge mistake and switch to vertical. This was like the biggest stunt too. We couldn't believe that he was about to do such a thing. This is probably a three foot. Yeah, that's a three brick, three high brick retaining wall with a cap. I can't even pogo stick. I can't even pogo stick.

Ryan, you had a way deeper voice than everyone else. It was that damn puberty that hit me. Oh, yeah, and then CJ does it first. Yeah, but like barely. God dang, dude. What am I doing? Come on, guys. Me coaching. Come on, guys. No fucking way I could even hop on that thing on the ground. Oh, my God. This is not a good idea at all.

I'm like cheering and Matt's like, oh, I got to do this now. I got to one-up him. That is so funny. I got an old video of CJ and Ben wakeboarding.

Double wakeboarding behind X-Star. This is back when we were in our wakeboarding phase. That was pretty fun. Here's a pretty legendary video. I believe that Ben stole Ken's car in this. I don't know. Ben looks to be legitimately 10. I had to have been like 11 years old. Are we listening to Thriller? I think so, dude.

And Ken is nowhere to be seen. Where do you think we stole your car from, Ken? I think he was in the back seat. No, that was Justin's BMW. Oh, yeah. That was Justin's BMW, dude. You can hear the subs. You remember that one time? This is great. You were about that size, Ben, and then you and Ken were arguing, and Ken threatened to beat you up, but he was way older than you. I don't know. I remember that. And you were like, you can't beat me up. I'm too young. I don't know.

Uh, Matt went through a workout phase too, where he wanted to get super jacked. So he would do a thousand sit-ups and a thousand pushups every single night. But the thousand sit-ups was to try and get abs. He's in like that David Goggins phase. Yeah. Dude, he never got a single ab. He never got a single ab. I thought it probably worked. He was so fucking pissed. That's a lot. That's a lot, dude. Like, I'm just like, how long did he stick with it for? I,

A while. Long enough that he should have had abs. Yeah. You guys can attest. If you're doing 100 push-ups a day, you're going to notice you're different. Oh, my gosh. Dude, Matt was the king of phases. Dude, he was. He had that ROTC phase, the policeman phase. Yep. Doctor phase. Yep. Yep.

He was going to sniper school. He became like one of the top, top snipers in the nation. Yeah, he did actually. Did he ever have to go overseas? No, he never got to. No, they kicked him out because he wouldn't get the vaccine. That's right. Really? Yeah. He was one of the top snipers and they kicked him out because he wouldn't get vaccinated. That's pretty insane to think about it. Yeah. What a wild time to be. And now none of it matters because I don't think they push that on him anymore, do they? I don't think so. I would imagine not. Yeah.

Yeah, so he should just go back to that. Yeah, could he go back? Now he's on to a different phase in life. I'm sure he's doing it in the most extreme way, dude. I bet he gets, oh my God, dude. I bet he's the best plumber in the world. Dude, yeah, like his butt crack's never shown in his life, but now it's just always out. He's got his whole ass out. He's got his whole ass, like no pants on. He showed up no pants. Did you guys see the video of the guy who rode in the back of the drag car?

um at that dragway i believe it was in darlington like wrote yeah yeah like he wrote on the back yes no i didn't i saw that bro honestly i was i was pretty hyped up when i saw it but even i went oh that was kind of stupid

Dude, they don't even let Ken run his Tesla because it's under a 10-second car and it doesn't have a roll cage, but this guy can somehow hop in the back. Look at him, dude. It's just, I don't know, like a 50s, excuse me if I'm wrong, but 50s truck that's obviously really souped up, and he's just hanging on to the bed. Yeah, he's got his fingers back. But they're cool with it. They're just like, oh, he's got his helmet on. Yeah, he's got his helmet on. He's good. And blue jeans. Dude, can you imagine this guy tumbling down the dragway? Just wait.

Just wait. No. That's a freaking wheelie, dude. No. So he ends up being okay, and it happened at some, like, exhibition drag night. And it was a YouTuber who did it, JJ DeBoss. Great name. And they ended up getting in a ton of trouble. Really? Mainly this dragway got in trouble. They used to have, like, whatever the drag sanctioning, you know, body is. Like, cut this dragway off for letting them do that.

Yeah, insurance pulled, like, everything. Yeah. Just for that stunt, which in my opinion is pretty lame. That's what I thought. It's like, okay, we need a slap on the wrist. Probably don't ever let a human be not strapped in. But, like... Off the bat, I was kind of like, yeah, you know, of course. Like, they mistreated it, all this stuff. But...

upon further research, had signed waivers. The track people okayed it. He was like willing and consenting to do it. It wasn't like they put two of them out there. It is kind of messed up sometimes the consequences of an action that someone who's higher up can just decide and pull something away like that, even though all of the proper things were in place to do such thing. Besides a seatbelt. Dude, I can't say I'm that surprised. Yeah.

Drag race guys seem like such hardos. Yeah, I don't think that's a sport you really mess around in. That's why I think it was a surprise to see something like that. You'd see something like that at a mud fest. Yeah, exactly. Every second. The guy would just be hanging out at the road. You'd get away with that at a mud fest. Right, right, right. And there's just almost no rules there. But yeah, the drag strip seems like very rule-oriented, as it should be. I feel like mud fests are one of the last uncontrolled, uncontrolled

Unregulated grounds. And the most of, for sure. Like, the most unregulated. Anything you see there is just bananas. It's like Glamis times 10. It would be actually pretty... Different breed. It'd be pretty cool to go to Rednecks with Paychex. That's like the craziest mud fest. I believe it's in Texas. That would be insane. They do like this Barbie...

Race downhill. Looks gnarly. Nobody makes it. Oh, they did that when I was in Oklahoma too. Really? They were asking me, you want to do it? We'll let you in on this. It's just a giant, massive hill that they spray water on and then you just die at the end. You just eat shit and then you fall in the water and you have cuts everywhere and everyone's just like, yeah!

I'm like, no, I'm saying different breed. Yeah. Yeah. They love that shit. Did you guys see all the stuff about Vegas F1? I saw, I saw a little bit, but I don't really understand like what the real issue is. Well, that's the thing. It seems like everybody hates it. Look like a fun time to me. That's what I'm saying. I feel like it looks like it's went off without a hitch.

I've just seen, I saw, yeah, a few, like, let's just call her a Karen. She's making a post. She's like, they're ruining Vegas. Look what they did. They drained this entire fountain to put up grandstands. And people are like, bro, they'll be gone two weeks after F1's done. And it was a desert prior. Well, yeah, I mean, it's like they'll just take the bleachers down. They ain't going to leave that shit. So, okay, a little bit of context to the listener. F1, which is...

Formula 1. How do you even explain F1 to people that don't know? Little race cars. Little race cars that has like a cult following. Little? I mean, they're big. They're massive. They're short. Yeah, they're long. Very fast. Yeah, like 200-some miles per hour. They're like giant super car shifter carts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good way to put it. Massive cult following, but I've never met anyone that likes F1.

Well, you maybe have. Maybe it's just not someone who's like, I love F1. Here's my F1 t-shirt. Rah, rah, F1. Maybe. I think F1's a rich person thing. I think it is, too. It's just like, they don't even know shit about it. Obviously, plenty of people do, but it seems like you don't even...

know much about it, but you just go for the social aspect. Yeah, it seems like a hobnobbing event. Yeah, you're just hobnobbing. You got some expensive seats. You're sitting there in some suite with people serving you crab. You're taking videos and stuff. It came to Vegas, which is the first time, which, uh,

It's kind of shocking to me because Vegas is like the entertainment capital of the world, it seems like. First time in 40 years. First time in 40 years is not the first time ever. But they put it on the strip for the first time this year. It's a much larger track that upset way more people. And they like straight up shut down Vegas for the last year to build out everything for F1. So like when we were there, the Bellagio Fountains, like Ryan said, were straight up drained because they built grandstands in them and like...

You could barely go down half the streets because everything was being shut down for part of the course. It kind of halted Vegas for the last year for construction and everything like that. So I thought it was going to be a huge success and massive event. I'm sure there was a bunch of people, but what I saw is that they straight up closed it down on Thursday. It's like a two-day event.

And they closed it down on Thursday. So like everyone that paid all the money to go there straight up got like kicked out of the stands because a pothole popped out or a manhole popped out in the course. And they closed it down. So like everyone that paid like thousands and thousands of dollars straight up just got like booted out. And they were offered $200 for like a merch voucher.

But they continued, like, after everyone got kicked out, they continued, like, the testing phase or whatever it was. Oh, they did. They did continue testing. After everyone had gotten kicked out, like, an hour later. Oh, man. That's really whack. Yeah, so they actually weld them. They, like, you know, there's obviously the metal cover that comes off, and then there's the metal...

metal ring. They weld it to the outside and then they cut them open because the cars are going so fast it'll suck the caps off. Makes sense. And one of them, it sounds like the metal collar actually came out of the concrete and like ruined a couple million dollar car which is probably

Guy crashed? He didn't crash, but it looked pretty... Is it on video? Yeah. Security camera footage from one of the buildings. It's like grainy gray footage. All you see is a bunch of sparks flying. That seems bizarre. That's what I'm saying. There were some like...

cell phone videos but it's like it's covered by the protection walls and everything and you can just see a car driving by with sparks yeah i did see a lot of videos of people like in their seats one of them was trophy borough who i love following because they follow you know like by

Baja is going on right now. A lot of off-road racing. Really legit, exciting sport to watch. You're up close and personal to it. And he's like, all the caption was Vegas F1. And it's just everyone going like this. Yeah, dude. That's what I don't really understand. There was like three cars that drove by. Yeah, it doesn't seem maybe at different tracks, but I think it's the being there thing of it. Yeah, yeah. But we've been there a couple...

Let's see. About one year ago, one year ago when we were there in Vegas, they were doing like a promo shoot. So Lewis Hamilton, who's one of like the best racers and some other guy, they like shut down all the streets and they were just getting like video footage of it. But that was pretty cool to see. But we were actually like up close for that. Yeah. We were like straight up on the sidewalk while they were racing by.

So I get that, but standing up and they call them paddocks or whatever. That would just be a social thing. Yeah, although the sound of them...

NASCAR is pretty gnarly, but that is next level. What even is that sound? Yeah, like how do you make that sound is what I wonder. Yeah, what are those? Are those V16s? How the heck do they get that sound out of those F1 cars? I mean, they're revving it to what seems like 15,000, 16,000 RPMs. This year they're using 1.6 liter turbo four cylinders. Interesting. How much horsepower? That sounds like the lamest engine ever, but...

They also use hybrid, right? Yeah. They got electric stuff in there. Yeah. Okay. But how much horsepower are they pushing out of these suckers? This one says 1,000. Jesus. They're super, super light. But it's super light. I wonder if we could pick up an old F1 car like we do with all our other stuff. That'd be so sweet. And then we're driving on the street. I don't know.

I saw that the Ferrari that got destroyed was like a $15 million car. Wow. Something like that. That's pretty crazy. Crazy money. That's the other part. Yeah. Even for the teams, how, um, I think up until like this year, there was no us made, uh, F1 cars. Now GM makes like a Cadillac or at least they're making the power plant for it. And it's like a huge deal. And they pour like millions and millions and millions of dollars just to develop, uh,

motor for f1 well like ferrari red bull and mercedes are probably the biggest of them and they battle heavily they have like secret air things underneath the cars it's probably like the most technical racing sport i'd have to say because you won't you really have that much you can do other than be a good driver and make them like minutely different you know it's not you just put a bigger supercharger on or something like that i think driving those things is like

Insanely difficult. Yeah. How many G's do they pull, Ken? Well, think you're going, you're going 200 miles per hour around a corner with someone next to you in an open wheel vehicle. Just think about your helmet, your head and your helmet, like being pulled.

Yeah. Like what the core strength would take just to like stay in position. I think they have some crazy stats. What they can pull four to six G's while cornering. Jesus Christ. Five G's while braking, two G's while accelerating. That's crazy. That is insane. I mean, how do you even, how do you even put up with that for a long time? Probably in shape. How many calories do they burn during the race?

I think burn around 1500 calories during a race. Pretty impressive for sitting in a seat. Like that's a, that's more than a full blown workout since they're professionals. They do make it look very finesse. Like it's just like, you know, 200 miles an hour, just little wheel turns, but they're like,

Could you imagine? It's like driving a shifter cart, basically. Pretty much. I think that's how they start. Then you work your way up the rankings. It's kind of like that style. Think it's too late for me? No, I think you could probably do it, right? Yeah. Start training. On a real note, if you actually wanted to, I bet you totally could. Yeah, just...

It would take a long time. Can someone want to sponsor me with $100 million so I can start an F1 team, please? I think you might be too big, Ryan. No, dude. I think you have to be light. That's what makes them good is they're tiny. They're like horse jockeys. Yeah. Evan's kind of built like a stocky horse jockey. Yeah, he's too built, though. Yeah. You have to lean him out. Yeah, you really have to lean him out.

I watched it last night. It was an interesting race. I don't know. I would watch it again. Wasn't it on at like 2 a.m.? Yeah. Yeah, Ken was like sitting there. He's like got it on. The girls are sitting on the couch. He's like, good. F1. Well, if they were there, they would be loving it. You know they'd be hobnobbing. I think they were just looking at their phones. But yeah, if they were there, yeah, for sure they would have been loving it. You guys check in on the Baja 1000 at all? I saw that...

Greg Godfrey, our friend who started Nitro Circus, he's like super big on the Baja. He's done it like multiple times. He wants us to do it. And every time he brings it up, we're like, dude, I'm not sure if we have it in us, quite honestly. It would be gnarly. That'd be so sick to do. But I saw he was there. But other than that. There was a guy, Dutch, I believe. He flew from...

Dutch? From? Dutch, oh, Dutcherland? Yeah, from Dutcherland, I think. No, he flew from wherever he lived to San Diego, bought a Husqvarna dirt bike, rode it to the start of the Baja 1000, and then iron-manned it to the end.

All 1,000 miles. Which, for if you don't know, Iron Man is just doing it alone. Alone. Completely alone. No team, no support, nothing. The pros have trucks that follow them with food, medical supplies, parts, all the stuff. This guy literally just did it alone on a bike. He just would stop at random people's camps and they'd feed him a taco. Yeah, dude. When he crossed the finish line, you could tell people were like, this guy is something else. Yeah, he's like the hero of Baja this year. Just on a stock bike.

Yeah. 450 or like adventure whatever bike. That's insane. Could you imagine traveling a thousand miles alone through Mexico, let alone at Mach 1 trying to win a race? It's one shaved butt. What?

You'd have a sore butt for riding the seat that long. Dude, seriously. It takes, what, like 40? I think Greg was saying like 42 hours or something like that. But you don't get any sleep. You know, you just keep going. Yeah, they just go straight through, don't they? And that's where it stresses me out seeing the videos. Okay, so let's say you had the stamina to do it. But just the balls to just be like, they're like on the back of their seat just...

Twisted throttle. Oh, through whoops. Just like fucking flying. And I just think I would inevitably crash if I was trying to push it that far for that long. I think people do. I think people wad up pretty good. Yeah.

Greg got ran over by a trophy truck. Really? Yeah, because you're like out there with all the vehicles. I think you start in front, and then the trophy trucks are obviously faster, so they run you down. Which seems like a really bad idea. Yeah, why not do the trophy truck first? Yeah, send the fast people out first. So dusty, too. You probably can't see shit. You got to worry about the cartel taking you out. I think it actually is like a legit concern. That is a hell of a race. It is. It really is, dude. That's insane. One of the craziest of all off-road races. It's crazy.

It's just such poor documentation, though. Like, it's so hard to document that it just isn't cool. When Ryan brought it up, I was kind of like, damn, I mean, I haven't actually seen all that much. Just this guy that Ironmaned it. That's about all I saw. No, you'd need, like, your own helicopter and a filmer in the helicopter to just straight up just film you going down, like, the whole thing. Yeah, and make sure you're not freaking get run over. There's this really good video of a guy sitting in the back seat, like the third seat of a Baja truck.

And then they're running down like a trail at night. Can you imagine doing this for a thousand miles? It'd be scary. 94 miles an hour. Oh my gosh, dude. Dude, this is what those cartel members see when they're just running, but they're running like stock Toyota trucks. That is insane. There's a big hole, jump into it, run over a few trees. Are they on a trail right now? I think so. I'm not really certain. My gosh.

But yeah, pretty nuts. I think that's kind of just back to what I said before. It's like, I get that it's a long race and, and you got to have a truck that's built right or a bike, but like the whole, um, just unrelentless hundred mile an hour average is just too much. Got to be built different. That's for sure. Yeah. Like that, you just got to have a big balls. Everyone, whenever balls are talked about that are large, everyone just looks at Ken. Well, yeah. He's the man for the job. Yeah. Yeah.

All you can think of, can't you, Mike? I wasn't thinking of it. You got to get Ken's balls off your mind, Mike. It's sickening. You got to get them off your mind. They just take up so much space in my mind, though. Right, they're very large, obviously. I've got something that I guarantee y'all haven't thought about in a while. This is fun. And don't groan when I say it. NFTs. Oh, man. I almost groaned.

So apparently a board, a yacht club, you know, like the ones that were selling for like a million bucks, still thing. People are still buying and selling them. Uh, they had some festival in Hong Kong, I believe. Ken, do you know anything about this? No. Okay. No, I do not entertain NFTs. So, okay. They had this festival in Hong Kong and the theme of it was a bunch of UV lights. Well,

Well, they use the wrong type of UV light. So it was effectively like people standing. Yeah. Being in a tanning bed. Oh my God. Many, many hours. That's not good. And so everybody in the front row, they of course are minimizing it, but it sounded like 60 some people have stopped.

like sought treatment because their like corneas were burned. Oh my gosh. Cause you're staring at it and it doesn't hurt. Yeah. It's like the same thing apparently is snow blindness. Like it happens to people who climb Everest. Oh my gosh. That's bad. Yeah. Who was so bored? Ape was like throwing this. Yeah. They were like throwing a festival, right? But they just messed up and put in the wrong type of these fucking NFTs. Now they're taking, they started out with the finances. Now they're taking out people's eyeballs. Yeah.

So they can't see how far they're plummeting down. Jeez Louise, man. Who was in charge of that production that didn't think...

You know, maybe we shouldn't do these new lights that we haven't tried out or tested anywhere else. Yeah, the UV lights that emit the sun rays. I'm just trying to figure out what they were supposed to be doing. Let's say they were the right ones. What was the spiel? It kind of looks like black light. I have a couple pictures that I'll be popping up in here, but it just looks like a black light. So it's, you know, they had greens and purples and pinks and stuff like that.

So it looked kind of cool when you're looking at it, but apparently not for your eyeballs. Yeah. Because everybody was really confused. They like woke up the next day and they're like, why do my eyes feel like they're on fire? Makes sense. And it effectively got sunburned. Fucking NFTs, man. You don't hear much about those things anymore. No, which is honestly probably good. Probably good. That definitely shows like, you know, the world's maybe going in somewhat of a right direction.

For a while there, it was like things are all going to be electronic. Art is digital. Then you had half the world being like, I don't get it. And the other half being like, I hate this. Or it's the future. All these YouTubers are pretty quiet that sold NFTs. Yeah, what's up with that? They ain't doing anything with them. They just pocketed the

the money and it's cause it was now half of them don't even post. Yeah. And usually all YouTubers that get ahold of any cash grab, no matter what it is, it fizzles out within a year. All cash grabs fizzle out. Yeah. Yeah. That's I mean, it's called a cash grab. Yeah. So if it fizzles out, you know, it was bog. Yeah. It is unfortunate. Honestly, I'm glad we never succumbed to anything like that, but you never know when it's happening. Like probably not all of the people were like, I'm going to make a folk doing money. And then,

leave my people stranded. Right. You know. Yeah. If it would have worked, you know, then they would have looked like geniuses. It's like after the FTX collapse, like you just do not hear about that kind of stuff anymore. No one wants to hear about it.

So we should probably even stop talking about it. We should probably stop talking about it. I just want to talk about them getting their eyeballs. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Something that is cool now, like, that YouTubers are doing that is, like, a new age thing. Danny Duncan has done this for a while. He's had his stuff in Zoomies and Spencers. Now Adam LZ, he just did a deal with Zoomies, which is pretty cool because it's, like, before Zoomies was just, like, skate brands. It's just crazy to think, like, back in the day, there's no way YouTube merch would be in a retail store. But now... Makes more sense, though, because, like, everybody...

Everyone that goes into it's probably heard of, you know, every YouTuber that would obviously have a brand there. Right. And it's like, who would you rather buy merch from? A random ass stupid brand that you don't even know who is behind that's not any cooler or a YouTuber that you actually get...

free entertainment from week after week and then a cool t-shirt that you know who you're supporting and who you're repping and who you're repping and the brand that that it represents yeah yeah so as far as like the retail stores it is a no-brainer like them putting that in they're just like enriching the yeah the brands that are in their store yeah it makes them look cooler too when's the last time that you thought about zoomies or talked about that's true the last time i thought about it was seeing that adam lz got it in but other than that

The mall's a weird place, man. Yeah, it is. I always remember, like, Zoomies was kind of against the grain to go to. Like, if you were a skater, they're like, support your local shops. Don't go buy your boards at Zoomies and your skate shoes at Zoomies. And I'm like, no, they got a point. They got a point. But sometimes if you go to the local skate shop, they're like...

Hey man, you legit? Yeah. It was like going to the salty Splatoon. I was scared. I was scared to go into this. Very true. You take a board off and they're like, kick flip it right now. Yeah. That's what I'd be scared. Oh, how cool would it be to skate? Like the mini ramp that the local skate shop has in the back. Oh bro.

Oh, bro, I would never ask. Yeah. It's too scary. That'd be like if Evan worked at the front desk of it, he'd be like, you look too Cheeto to be in here. Yeah, he would. He would just bully them out. He'd be like, I don't even want to take your fucking money. Yeah. Those etnies are too fresh. Those etnies are too fresh, dude. I bet you can't even do an ollie. Let's see it. How tall? Yeah, culture of different things. I think that's probably the most important thing that you can ever do with anything is not try to be an asshole when someone likes what you do. Yeah.

It's tough, though, you know, when someone tries to come in and...

Nevermind. Like what? I don't know. You know, like you got a guy who's going to start riding dirt bikes and then you immediately start shitting on him for sucking at dirt biking or wearing a cheap brand. It's like, damn, you know, he's just trying to learn and progress in something new that he's trying to do. Then you call him a Cheeto. And then you call him a Cheeto rider for having OGI waffle grips. Dude, there ain't nothing worse than being called Cheeto. I know, dude. I've started using that term in other places. A lot, yeah. And people are like,

What does that mean? Cheeto is a good term, though. It is a good term, but nobody knows what it means. Well.

It's pretty Cheeto. And then they're like, oh, what does that mean? It's not good. Oh, you got some like, yeah, you got some Cheeto shoes on. What does that mean? Then you're just like, ah, it means like you got like bunk ass shoes. They just look down. They just look down. They have like Cheeto branded shoes. Hot Cheeto shoes. They're orange. Yeah. Just covered in flakes. They say Cheetos. They got the Cheeto guy. Bro, pair that with a fricking Cookie Monster backpack. Yeah.

You could actually get that at Zoomies. Monster Fox knockoff lab rim and some pajama pants. You are set. You know somebody's writing this down right now. Like, damn, this is actually a fire idea. Cheeto shoes. Why didn't we think of that? Like,

Like the head marketing thing when you walk into Zoomies, like the first stand. Cookie Monster backpack or what type of flat brim are you going to put on if you could put... Oh, I mean the Cookie Monster flat brim is a classic as well. Dude, you remember when like the Monster Fox, like I was a

Part of that isn't like I was like, I got to have a monster fox. None of that was real. Like, I don't think I think they did like one collab with each other. And then the rest was just like knockoff, knockoff, knockoff. And like I had like a monster fox jersey that just came straight from China. Like the print was like over here.

Like, stuff like that. But, yeah, if you ever had a Monster Fox hat on, you were cool. But now if you have it on. You're Kyle. Yeah, you're Kyle. That sucks. Poor Kyle. Do you ever remember. And Karens, dude. Poor Karens that aren't actually Karens. They got covered. Yeah, just got gypped.

You ever remember Kyle DeMello? He was always repping Monster shit too. Keep in mind, this is where it's tough for him. So he's rocking a Monster hat, the real one that you get when you're sponsored, and everyone's like, you're like Monster Kyle. And he's like, yeah, yeah, I guess. And they're like, yeah, you just love Monster since your name's Kyle. But he's like, no, I mean like a professional motocross rider. Just gets diminished, dude. Just do a meme. Most parents did that to him. Yeah.

No, they didn't know that was going to happen. Karen's got to be the least named baby name. Oh, gosh. Like for 2022 and on. I heard that the male version of Karen is just Darren. And I'm like, I don't know. I know a couple of Darrens and they're really nice guys. Yeah. Usually Darrens are nice. Well, usually Karen's are nice, but. No. No. No, that's not true. That's not even remotely true. I think it.

It is true. Usually Karens are nice, but this name got put on them. I don't know, man. 2020, 325 people were named Karen. New babies. Comparatively to like how many in... 2019, 439. What about like 2000? Find a peak for me. Peak Karen was probably 1983. Yeah. No, 1974. Yeah.

What makes 1974 a Karen year to you? Actually, I'm thinking 1969. I bet that was peak Karen. That's too early. What a summer to live through, man. Can you imagine being 21 years old in the summer of 69? No, and if I had a time machine, I would definitely be trying that out. How old do we have to have kids at to have our kids be in the summer of 2069? It was summertime in 1969. You just got to subtract 21 from...

69 69 that's uh pretty tough right here 48 i don't know if i can wait that long so 2048 you have a kid that's fine they could be 20 in 2069 and they're good to go they'd be pretty legendary it

It'd be like a nice thing I could do for my future child. Would be. Future Brian is like, why am I 33 in this year? Yeah, we'd be pretty old if we're having kids at that age. Yeah, no, you're better off like popping a kid out now and then that kid having a kid. Oh man, I could have grandkids? Fuck. I haven't even gotten first thing done, you know? Can't be a virgin. Yeah, maybe start there, Ryan. Maybe focus on that first. Okay.

Ken, you got any stats for us back there? The most Karens are in Wisconsin. Okay, that's not surprising at all. And Minnesota. Minnesota is a hot second. That's a very Midwest name. Karen peaked in 1957. Wow. Hey, do we still do the census? I think so. I feel like that was such a big deal in 2010. Did we even do one in 2020? I think so. I think they probably focused on other things. Yeah, but it was a lot less than a big deal. Did you do it? I don't think I did it.

I didn't do it. Isn't that like your American duty? No, I think I did it. They called me and they're like, hey, we're with the census. Are you alive? And I'm like, yeah. And they're like, sick. We got you down. Really? It was that simple? Because that's what I'm saying. The next census that happens in 2030, there's going to be a pretty dramatic change in Cormorant's population with all of the YouTubers that have moved there. Like we've got to, I mean, between the crews, we got a damn near doubled census.

And by that time, it could be tripled, the population of Cormorant. We go from higher. We hire a lot of people, yeah. That's what I'm saying. We're already up seven or eight. What exactly are census again?

That's when you are... Just keeps track of your population? Yeah, when you're counted. How many people and where they live, essentially. It seems like a little bit of a violation. Dude, they already know where you live. It's basically like you live in this township or county or state. They're not going to your specific address. They know it. That's for the IRS. Yeah, I was like, they know it. The primary thing is...

like drawing district boundaries for like elections and stuff like that. But those don't really mean anything anyway. Oh, hold on now, Ryan. It's not good. Cancel here. America. Mike, what are you doing on X? I thought I was like, bro, I'm, I'm not on, I'm on Twitter.

Here's something that no one will care about, but I'm really stoked on. I'm pretty sure I'm like the last... What an intro. What an intro, dude. Oh, man, you got me fired up. Go ahead with this one, Mike. Yeah, you guys are laughing already. I unboxed... Actually, Sydney did, but I got a king bed. Oh, nice. And it is...

It is all the rage. I love it. It's massive. I'm like, damn, I think I'm the last one to have a king bed. Like, you got a king bed? You have a king bed? Ken's got a king bed? You know Ken's nuts ain't fit in a king bed. You got a reinforced frame, too. It's amazing. It is just like, just all the room in the world. Good. So I just, I had quite literally one of the best nights of my sleep. Did you get the reinforced frame, Mike? No, it's rickety. Really? You don't need that reinforced frame.

Ryan can only hope. But yeah, I got a wonderful night's sleep last night on that thing. Wow. Interesting. What are we at? In your dreams, do you guys fight in your dreams or do you run in your dreams? Like, you guys ever have in your dream when you're like...

either trying to fight or run away but you can't like as fast as you're trying to move feels like something's holding you back i'm trying to think like i don't think i have to run or fight my dreams interesting mine is almost always i'm trying to get somewhere or i'm running i don't i don't fucking know what's going on up here it's all messed up closes his eyes he's like fuck here we go i mean yeah sometimes sometimes

And, like, I don't know what's going on, but, like, yeah, sometimes you have the dreams where you're, like, you either have to get somewhere or you're trying to run away from something and, like, you can't move. You feel like you're underwater. Yeah. I mean, I guess. Sometimes. Yeah. Interesting. But can you guys, like, I know you can. Can you guys, like, remember your dreams? No. Because, like, I wake up and they're just, like, delete. Really?

Really? Every single morning. I'm like, I did just have a dream and I did remember this person. That's it. I mean, you get woken up so abruptly. You're just like, you're not thinking, you can't even remember. It's like, even if I don't, I just can't remember anything. He's got so much going on. If you're like filming and then you shut it off really quick, it doesn't save the last clip. That's like Mike when he's, he's dreaming where he gets woken up by water. Yeah.

Yeah, I feel like some people wake up, you know, they're like a tractor. It kind of like takes them. They got to get their coffee. They get going throughout the day and they warm up. Mike's like bump starting a car. Everything's already moving and then it's like, boom, Mike's awake. Yeah. That's a pretty good way to put it. Yeah. But I mean, like, I had a dream last night and I woke up and I was like, what was that about?

I was just frustrating, especially when you're like, dude, my dream. And then you're like going on. I'm like, how much do you remember? And you're like, well, pretty much all of it. Yeah, pretty much everything. I always remember my dreams. It's a bummer too because nobody gives a shit about dreams. I could tell a lot of interesting dream stories, but they're fake. So why would I even bother telling anyone that? Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, it's kind of a bummer. It's like NFTs. Yeah, exactly. It's like nobody wants to hear about them. Or about Mike's stupid fucking king bed. Yeah.

I don't know. That's a pretty good story. Nobody wants to hear about it. No, I'm just kidding. Why are you telling me this? Yeah, it goes back to that. Why are you telling me this, man? Well, on that note, I think that's a wrap. Yeah, I think so too. All right, guys. Thank you so much for listening. We will see you next week. Peace. That's a wrap.
