I own a home and I can tell you, I know how much work it can take. Whether it's everyday maintenance and repairs or making dream projects a reality, it can be hard just to know where to start. But now all you need to do is Angie that and find a skilled local pro who will deliver the quality and expertise you need.

Whatever your home project, big or small, indoor or outdoor, you can Angie that and connect with skilled professionals to get the project done well. Right now, one of my wishlists is I want a bike for my condo in Milwaukee and I would love to rig it up on a pulley in the ceiling because I have one of those like lofted ceilings.

but I'm so scared to try that on my own. Angie has 20 years of home experience and they've combined it with new tools to simplify the whole process.

Hey, everyone. It's me, Drew Alfuallo, host of the Comment Section Show. Come join me and one of my iconic special guests every week on the show as we dive into the dreaded comment sections of our tagged videos and take down the most terrible men on the internet, period. So, let's get started.

Somehow they won't go away no matter what I do, no matter how incredibly awful and mean I am to them. But I don't mind doing this work. In fact, if I'm being honest, I think it's God's work. So make sure y'all follow me on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts for new episodes every Wednesday.

Ryan Reynolds here for, I guess, my 100th Mint commercial. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, honestly, when I started this, I thought I'd only have to do like four of these. I mean, it's unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month. How are there still people paying two or three times that much?

Life's just about finding new places to scroll Instagram reels. I hope you guys feel good. Got me up off my deathbed for this. You were not on your deathbed. You're a little sick. I was on the couch. The death couch. Podcast number 69. We're back. Oh, it's 69? Yeah. Damn, this is legendary. We 69-ing. None of us are 69-ing with each other, but we're 69-ing today. Jesus, Mike. That's too early. Too early for that.

in the 69th annual podcast. You guys want to hear something funny? Yes. Love to. Horses are the number one most farted on animal. Farted on? Well, obviously. Yeah, I just had, I got a good kick out of that. It's like pretty obvious that horses are the most farted on animal ever. Behind Evan's girlfriend. Oh,

Damn, bro. No, that's a hit on Evan. That's a hit on Evan, not his girlfriend. That's cold. Yeah, Evan's actually out of town today. His friends back home are throwing him a surprise birthday party, and the weather got really bad, and we kind of just, I mean, wanted to be there, of course, but...

It looks like they got a keg. I saw legitimately, I saw some snaps of them in a little John boat with no motor. How are we going to get the keg to the lake? Well, let's just put in the John boat and ride down the hill. Classic. I'm bummed because, so I was helping her kind of facilitate more so just the schedule of the surprise. That way Evan would be there. Cause obviously we're going on our RV trip.

at the end of this week. So they're throwing it a week early for him. But God, me telling Evan, like, you need to be home by Friday. I think that kind of pissed him off. It did. He was in a pissed off mood. And I was like, fucking not. It's like, what do I do? Not let him show up to his own birthday party or tell him, like, you need to leave now. Get over. I'm going to get home when I get home. Yeah. There's no agenda. He's like, oh, get there when I get there. Like, no, no, you got to go now.

which he still had plenty of time for. He was leaving on a Wednesday morning. He just had to be back by Saturday. And it was just so funny because we thought he would be, but CJ's like, yo, you're going to be back by Saturday. And he's just like, not if some bullshit comes up like the way down. Yeah, because he had the worst drive down there, which I think contributed to quite a bit of stress for the drive back. I never realized Evan was...

Under such a large amount of stress. Or maybe that he didn't handle stress so well. Because that drive, that drive really...

brought it out of him yeah i brought a new side of him out that i haven't seen that's for sure yeah so we were just in florida and we needed to get uh we need to make a few things happen while we're in florida most of the things were covered except how do you get our water cross snowmobile to florida while you get it try you try to get it shipped you know just classic how do you get a snowmobile to florida right and most of the time on short notice too it's like within a week we're trying to find a shipper to ship it so no one bid on it

And, you know, we're like, Evan, you know, your job description's wide. You got to drive to Florida. Add trucker to the list. As in nonexistent. Yeah, I mean, that's what I mean. It's wide like anything we say goes. But he started making the drive while we all just are chilling at home because we fly there. We weren't chilling. We were all working, Mike. You got to make us sound like real assholes, Mike. Yeah.

We just had the easy way out, but you're right. The whole reason we didn't, I guess, ride with him is because it takes two days to drive down there, at least. Dude, I would have loved to have hopped in the truck and drove down to Florida. Yeah, I think it would have been fun. Yeah, honestly, I feel like that's rather... Obviously, it could be stressful to some people, but for me, you just fucking get in and go. When you have problems like Evan had, which is when the deaf system goes out on the truck and leaves you stranded. Like a third of the way through the trip. Yeah.

Yeah, it can be stressful. I do want to just preface, though. We weren't at home chilling. Ben and I were editing so that way we could have a video for Thursday. Mike was doing designs. Ken was shipping out orders so that way they could be to your door at a timely manner. Ryan was editing the podcast. So it was kind of like, well, it looks like you're going to be the guy that has to drive it, Ev. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. I was just laughing. Because I already know people who are like, well, chill and do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you know, we're just here. Man, really F that one up. Sorry, F. But, okay, I don't understand how we have a 2020 truck and the deaf system, which you legally have to have. That's right.

goes out at 30 000 miles like how does that a thing i think the even worse part is we're not the only ones it seems like it's very common so we're all at home trying to get this figured out calling dealerships ken's calling everyone like you know yeah and he was kind of a not an ideal spot he was somewhere in illinois middle of nowhere it seemed yeah and then basically when the system goes out it's like you have 70 miles yeah until it's limited to five miles per hour which is like

What are you supposed to do? So he's calling us. He doesn't want to waste his mileage, obviously. And then we're calling around and we put stuff up on Instagram. You guys were replying to our story and stuff, giving ideas. But one of our buddies, Kevin, knew a guy that had a shop not too far from there. So we ended up having him go to there and he's fixed the truck.

Fixed a truck. Properly. So we will not have that problem again. No. I don't even know if you have to put any fluid in it anymore. Maybe not even diesel after this.

But like Evan's got to, the whole thing, he's got to get himself to the shop with that truck somehow, but he's also got to get a rental that Ken's lining up for him. And he's also got to transfer over a snowmobile, two pit bikes, two jet skis, the trailer. I could see how it was stressful. It definitely put a bad taste in his mouth. And you're all alone. Yeah, when you're all alone, that shit's hard, dude. Luckily they were there to help like the people. And I was talking and I was like,

we need you to help. Oh, I don't think on the way, that's why on the way there, they weren't like he, he's like, dude, it was the most brutal, like swap process ever. It's literally raining sideways while I'm trying to unload a snowmobile into another truck. But my favorite part is that the rental we got him can take from Illinois all the way down to Florida. Got to get it back though. It was a four cylinder full size,

Half-ton pickup. Admittedly, the thing was kind of zippy for a four-cylinder. I can't believe they make trucks like that, but I guess it's no different than Ken's Bronco. It's a four-cylinder. It still goes. It's got a turbo, I should say. Four cylinders and fluid in your exhaust. Welcome to the future. Evan made it down there. We got to Florida, and he missed the first day, which was a lot of fun. We were out filming with the Gators, if you guys haven't seen that already. That was a blast.

Probably top five funnest videos or funnest video bits that we've filmed, in my opinion. Yeah. It was just like... I said it in the video, but the YouTube videos bring us and have us do so many cool things that we would normally never have the opportunity to do solely off of just the connections that we've made or they're so outlandish. Why would we ever do it? And like riding...

with alligators is just one of those ideas down some river it was so so sick the alligators were a nice touch because it it uh added an element of danger beyond what it already was was because like dude it was a track for jet skis it was so much fun and you had it it was cool because there'd be like trees and stuff sticking out or like on certain banks it would be super shallow so you'd have to kind of

navigate but like we were ripping it was so fun it was like uh it's literally like riding a trail on a dirt bike or a snowmobile but for your jet ski instead of just having like this big open lake area to go to you're just like all right we're driving 40 miles that way yeah and it was so much fun but i didn't realize there was jet ski guys like i didn't realize there's people that do that like the jet skiing is a sport so like the guys that were with we were with

Literally, they go jet skiing on the weekend. They trailer it to a new spot or whatever, and they go jet skiing as if it was like we're going dirt biking on the weekend. But around here, it's so different. You just kind of maybe have a jet ski, and you go tool around out in the lake to a couple circles. It's a whole other life. Way different. And it makes sense why so many people would be so into jet skis because...

That was fun. That was fun. I would do that again in a heartbeat. And it is pretty funny that most, a lot of guys down there, they wouldn't think twice about that. Let's hit the river. Yeah, there's gators. There's gators everywhere. However, you got Gene. He's got a little jet ski rental company. He stays in the ocean.

We're like, Gene, is your first time in the ocean? He goes, yeah, for good. Sorry, not in the ocean, in the river with gators. Yeah, for good reason. And it'll be the last time to like there's more alligators than you can count. Yeah. In the in the small stretch. There's I mean, they're left, right, left, right. Couple there, couple there. Swimming in, swimming out big to a huge stretch.

Probably saw like some 12, 15 footers. Yeah, there was some big ones. Massive, massive gators. No one got bit by an alligator. Dude, so as I was editing the video, I was like, man.

I wonder actually how dangerous this was. I probably should have taken the time to like maybe do some research beforehand, but I just looked up how many people have gotten eaten or died from alligators in the last year. And there was like four people in the last year, but in the last like 70 years, there's been like 26. That's so low. Maybe not really 26. Yeah.

In the last 70 years? Yeah, like something like... So they're starting to... No, no, no. Like something like insanely low. Yeah. Wow. Like way less than you would think. I think being that we were so northern, it was something very foreign to us and seemed more dangerous than it was. But like I said in the video, it's not really as dangerous as you'd think. Well, it looks like they're jumping in and swimming after you when they're jumping in to get away from you. Yeah, they're just getting cover, yeah. Yeah, like I compare it... I mean, this is a...

bad comparison I've heard from some people, but we have snapping turtles up here and people are like, oh, you're going in the water where there's a snapping turtle? I'm like, the only way you're going to get bit is if you're up in their personal space. I know alligators are a little hungrier and have bigger personal spaces.

And bigger teeth. And bigger teeth. Bigger mouth. But you're really only going to get bit if you're kind of up in their grill, in their space. I don't think they would... You corner one. Let's say your jet ski died. I don't think you'd find an alligator jumping up onto your running board trying to snap your feet. Yeah, that's what I was worried about. If you did, could... They're so big...

They could easily just come in, like, even just, like, right on your side. And they're so aggressive, they could just clamp on and, like, drag you with them, I guess. Like, the actual jet ski itself. I was like, I don't know. It just seems, like, extremely unlikely. And then after researching, that's not something that they do. So from 1948 to 2021, 442 people have been bitten by alligators and 26 have died. That's pretty low. That's nothing, dude. That is so low. I mean, how many people die from bees, right?

every year or dogs i bet you more people die from dogs wow but yeah we title our next video 30 to 50 a year we titled the next how about like dirt biking with dogs 60 60 deaths from bees a year a year way more than alligators yeah so uh yeah right before we went though i was talking to jet ski ryan the original jet ski ryan i was like hey how dangerous is this and he goes

no you guys aren't really their type they're more into like older ladies and like dogs i was like that seems so specific he was like no you'll be fine yeah i think that is what happens when most people like the dog the gator comes up gets the dog and then the old lady goes in the pond to try to save the dog and then that's wild though like some of these florida men were like if we see a gator like up close i'll jump on its back

Yeah. Jeez. I was like, dude, that just seems like a really bad idea. I mean, Mike swimming in the river seemed like a really bad idea and it wasn't even doing much, but actually going after one. That's what I live my life based on statistics as far as that stuff goes. Like the statistics are so low. They're so low and I knew they were low, not that low. And so I'm like,

What's going to happen? It was really funny. Sid was at a baby shower. So like your whole family was like, why? Why would he swim in there like that? When's he going to cut out doing silly stuff like that? Oh, they did say, you know, I was wondering what they were going to say about you doing that. And it really said that.

Like, I mean, yeah, they were just, they were just like, he's crazy. Like, you know, he's going to get cut out all that little, little stunts. He's doing. Yeah. And I'm just like, realistically driving to work is like extremely more dangerous. Yeah. Apparently I just was, what did Sid say about it? I mean, I don't, she, she,

Kind of understood. Oh, did she? Or was she like, why'd you do that? No. Honestly, I feel like my girlfriend or mom would have been like, why'd you do that? And then I guess you explained to them and all that. It just seemed a lot more dangerous. But I can understand where they're coming from. It's like for planes. This doesn't really help people. I think we've talked about this. It doesn't help people, but I'm like, statistically...

You ain't going to die. You're just not. Planes are safe because they are. They're safer than cars. And if you are going to die, there's nothing you can do in the back of the plane. There's nothing you can do about it. You might as well drink your free Jack Daniels and have a good time. Yeah. Well, where we get put, yeah, we don't get free anything. We don't even get the seats to lean back. Yeah. Because you guys were in like literally the last row. Yeah. What do you mean? Every single time. Every single time. I couldn't press. I couldn't go back at all. So it was just straight up. Dude, it's amazing. Ben, we're like, where the fuck?

Where are the other guys? We'd look at them up there.

Getting snacks and whatever else. Ken, why do you put us in the back? Just me and CJ. Every single time. I feel like it's a hit out on us. Every single time. I had five days to book this trip. I took what I could get, okay? But he's got these. He has to choose. Okay, so I got five people, five spots here. Two of them are in the back. Who am I going to put in the back? The two guys that put me on a billboard. Well, let's work in a reverse order, how about? We'll start in the back and then it makes sense. Start with me and then it just goes in.

I think it's the who's the most recent person I added to a flight. You know damn well it goes in alphabetical order. It should be Ben, CJ, and...

And then either Mike or Ryan. Well, one thing, like, do you guys go in and change your seat in the app? Well, up until the last flight, I didn't even know I had a login for the app. So I guess in my defense, I'm still figuring this whole flying thing out. Because that's like, I go in and I take myself out of like a middle seat and put myself up against a window. You can do that? Yeah. Yeah. And like up until we started flying for... Yeah, you could put yourself anywhere. I didn't know that it was even an option to pick your seat. No wonder we're in the back.

I thought you just bought your ticket and they put you where you put you and then you could maybe do some swindling. Within reason. Yeah. They put you where they put you initially and then you can pick from there like, hey, there's an open seat here. I can switch it. Yeah. That's usually how it goes. And also your status, I think, is helpful. Like Ken's freaking triple gold platinum seat.

He's a free jerk. He's milking all of our shit. Putting everything under his account. That's why I don't have any points. Wouldn't you? I don't get any points either. If you were the travel advisor, wouldn't you?

Well, I guess, yeah. You got a good point. I would like to talk about my big moment down in Florida. I was going to just bring that up. Congrats on that, Ryan. It's been two years coming. Oh, your jet ski moment. Ben already forgot. I think I expected a lot more comments about people like, oh, Ryan finally got the flip. Maybe a little selfish of me, but way more people were excited about me being caught in the background of a camera shot peeing. Yeah, people couldn't believe that. And then they were...

mind blown when I left in the shot of a GoPro falling off of like a jet ski and falling in that like that's GoPro at 723 somebody see that and there's like everybody has to be 2000 comments about that the thing that you kind of can tell in the video but not really is I went into that with the idea that all I had to do was get the jet ski around and kind of just land and

I was confused that you even would think that. Yeah, that surprises me to no ends. You didn't want to ride away? I didn't even know it was possible in this time frame. Oh, wow. I don't understand. It'd be like doing a backflip on a pit bike to wood chips and then just crunching it up every time. And then just celebrating. Dumping it over every time. All you got to do is make it from here to here, just to the down.

But you went into that without intentions of riding away. I didn't know that it was going to be, I mean, not easy because it wasn't easy at all. It took me freaking two and a half hours. But I didn't know that like even riding away from it was going to be an option on that jet ski with my skill. So, yeah, I guess kind of. Yeah, I was confused when you were celebrating. Like, yeah. It was like literally we'd been out there for like two minutes. And we all were like, yeah, he made it around. Now he's just got to ride it out. And your arm was just like. And you went.

Was it difficult to do or did the jet ski do most of the work? No, the jet ski 100% did most of the work. The guy that bought my old stand-up jet ski goes, Joe, that's so sick that you finally got it. What did you do differently? And I was like, instead of riding a $10,000 jet ski, I rode a $50,000 jet ski. So it made...

Like all the difference. I would compare it to instead of riding a bicycle being strapped to a rocket ship heading to space. Like it is literally that different. Camry to F1 car.

440 fan to 850 boost. Now that you say that, it would have been even more impressive if you would have landed it on the other one too. Looking back at how difficult that was because we're watching the videos of these professional riders do it on these stand-up jet skis and we're like, Ryan, you can do that. Think about how impressed everyone would have been if you would have actually done it. You really pulled that off. You've got to have...

Frick, I mean, how many attempts do you think before you landed? Like total, like over the years trying to do a backflip on a jet ski? Yeah, I'd say it's got to be 100. That's crazy. Wild. And then the part that was like, so yeah, you just explained the difference between these skis, but he's like, all right, we're going to do this. And he kind of like warmed you up and then sent you out there. Keep in mind, every other backflip Ryan's tried was off of a pretty decent size wake.

It was way easier not having to do the weight. I agree. Less intimidating? Yeah, and there was no timing because you used to have to time the pre-hop while you were headed 10 miles an hour this way and the boat was headed this way. This, you just like did it and then when you felt good, boop. And there still was a level of timing because we wanted you to do it right in front of us. I feel like if you didn't even have that, you could have tried it anywhere. Yeah, instead of having to make the loop and whatnot, but yeah, it was so fun. But it was dope. I was talking to Ryan. I'm like, okay, so you did it. Now do you feel like conquered? How do you feel about owning

owning another jet ski like that he's like I kind of still want one now but a real one oh really yeah I mean it'd be sweet but it's just as like it's way too much of a commitment to the sport five hummers yeah and so keep in mind I hardly have one hummer it doesn't have to be 50 grand but it has to be at least 25

Yeah. $50,000 on a freaking jet ski is insane. Stand up jet ski that can't even go like it holds one gallon of gas. Basically the only thing it does is backflips and tricks. It really is crazy because then you got guys building crazy sleds. I'm like, I can't believe someone's willing to put 30 grand in a snowmobile that they can only ride six months out of the year. It's

But they're willing to put 50 into a jet ski. Keep in mind, you can ride that. Different strokes for different folks. Yeah. That's crazy. That's crazy. It's pretty cool also that when we were there at Wammelton, the jet ski place. We finally got a shout out. Yeah, you did. A big shout out to Wammelton. When we were there, so Chris Anizeski is teaching Ryan. So he is number third in the world based on the Havasu Worlds competition. Pretty cool. The Jukish brothers, Gabe...

is the older brother. He is number two in the world based on this competition. And then Lee Stone was there and we met him and he's number one in the world. He's won it like 10 times. Just pretty crazy that we know the top three freestyle jet skiers in the world. And then me. And Ryan's still my favorite. Dude, they were saying, it's nice to finally meet you because you get tagged in every single jet ski video that we post.

Everyone just always tags at Ryan Iwerks in any Backflip Jetski video because now it's been such a meme. Yeah, I know. I've always wondered like what these true professionals. It's like, congratulations, Lee Stone for winning worlds. And it's like 50 comments of just my name. He's had a crowning achievement for the year. And it's just me tagged in it. Who is this guy? He's me. Makes sense.

Yeah, it was really nice to be down in Florida, but we came back home. It's a freaking blizzard. So we are leaving again. Yeah, RV trip. We've only been home for what? We have like seven days at home and then now we're gearing up for another RV trip. We might be the only people to ever plan a two week RV trip without planning.

planning anything that we're going to do on a two week RV trip until like three days before we leave. Like we don't have anything planned. Is that stressing you guys out? Yes and no. I mean, we still got to work out the fine details. I think it's so hard. It's like if we're going to travel across the country. Yeah. No, I mean, we have some things jotted down, but it's like if we're going to travel across the country, we should probably try to

I don't even like using the word collab anymore, but try to, you know, get together with other people, whether it be a podcast or a video or just something, even just hanging out. But that is when your schedule gets demanding and, and really hard. You know, you gotta be with this person on this day at this time. And, and that's six hours from where you are right now. And that's tomorrow morning or whatever. So we're hoping definitely to meet up with, uh,

A handful of people. Dude, we don't even have a plan. So I can't even tell you. Where are we going? Yeah, we're also planning on just kind of just having fun with the six of us. Yeah, it'll be good. Maybe seven. Maybe Gavin might join us. That's what our plan is. We're going to have fun. We're going to have fun. You know, we got the details worked out. Now we're just working on the finer details. Well, what? First, Colorado. Go see Gav. Ride some three-wheelers. And I think...

I think we'll go skiing. I would love that. Ken, can you ski? I haven't skied since I did something to my MCL probably 10 years ago. So you can ski though. You can't ski. Depends. I don't know how well. Like, I think skiing would be really entertaining solely because it would just be funny to get like Ken and Ryan and CJ out there. And then...

And then also on the aspect that Evan is a really good skier. So it'd be like the two polar opposites. We, we could call it reckless skiing. We just get after it. Yeah. But, um, yeah, that'd be fun. Has anyone talked to Gavin? No, no. We should probably text him and let him know we're coming. If you're watching this podcast right now, he listens. Yeah. We'll, we'll see you on Sunday. All right. So Colorado, then what? Then we have to go all the way to LA. Are we? Yeah. Yeah.

I think. Is that... No, that is not locked in either, for sure. We might have to. I don't really know. Man, I feel like it's just such a hike from Colorado to California. I mean, it is, but in the RV, it's so much easier. Yeah, we're chilling. Yeah. We got a better one this year, which will be nice. Hopefully, it's not falling apart. Not falling apart, but it was just...

Everything was fricking rattling. It was loud in there, dude. Yeah. I'd say the noise was like the noise in the motor size. Like, yeah, the, the, the size of it could be bigger. We may do, but the motor, she said it was pegged out the whole time. Yeah. It didn't help that we were pulling our, our 35 foot trailer loaded.

To the gills, dude. And the RV was packing, what, eight of us? I think I saw the tow package for that was supposed to tow like a thousand pounds, which is effectively like a two-place snowmobile trailer of the old one. I don't know what the new one is. I can't believe we put that thing through that. Yeah, like up through mountain passes, like real steep. Yeah, real stuff. Not just idling around. You know what I think we should do, Ryan? Maybe the R6? What should we do? You should drive your Hummer behind us and...

And then when we get to the Grand Canyon... When we get there, he wouldn't get there. Okay, well, when the tow truck gets to the Grand Canyon, we send it home. The Grand Canyon? Yeah. I don't know what the legalities of that is, but... I'm sure it's very legal. Ken, what's the legalities of sending a Hummer H2...

Off the Grand Canyon. I'm sure it's anything like you're throwing garbage in a national park. I know. It's probably not...

I think would be the best word. You know, she's not garbage. Greg Godfrey jumped a motorcycle into it. That's true. I think that was like 30 years ago, but I think he got in trouble for that. Yeah. They have like an event. I think it's in Alaska. I want to go to this. Yeah. They have an event where they, you know, you just show up. All you gotta do is bring a car and everyone just crowds down below and watches cars launch.

hundreds of feet off of a cliff. It's the best thing ever. Ken, pull this up. Where's the crowd at? There's a big canal, river, lake area, and then they're on the other side. It seems like they're too close.

It's one of those things like however far away they are it's not far enough and you know some of them like don't go well and other one you know some of them only make it halfway down kind of just crumple up and other ones just go. That's what I want. All the way to the bottom. We gotta go. We gotta go. probably land on all four and just keep going. Keep going. Oh we've never seen such a thing. We thought it wouldn't even make it to the edge. Here we go. Look at that dude. That is a good one. Straight to the bottom.

Okay, I love how they have like two... Dude, this would be a great thing for your home. And look at the crowd. Look at the crowd. Like what if... All right, we got to do it with the Hummer. What if someone had like a Lamborghini and it got up to like 150 and hit the jump and landed in the crowd down there? Oh, gosh. But that's what I... I love how everyone is far enough away that you can just kind of launch whenever. Like these, you know, multiple vehicles going at multiple times at different angles. Yeah.

There's something that just brings people together, like destruction of vehicles. No kidding. But yeah, I've always really wanted to go to this, except for it's on the 4th of July, which is like a sacred holiday around here. Yeah, it's like half the reason we live here. We just need a big hole. We could do this at anywhere around here. Well, this is pretty much what we do off of the wall around our pond. Oh, it's on a track. Oh, is it? That's interesting. Yeah, so it's on almost like a railroad track.

single track in the middle and it makes sure it hits the jump that makes sense because i was like there's no way they got people just diving out all these cars i can't believe people are in here i think we got to go to alaska yeah i would love to go to alaska never been that was a 1320 video dude i just found out that 1320 was the amount of feet that a quarter mile is

I just found that out like two days ago. That makes sense. And I'm like, yeah, I see why they named the channel that now. Isn't that what Cletus came out of? Yeah, he used to work for them. Really? All right, so anyway, Colorado to California.

That's all we got planned. No. No, we got more. You're downplaying this so hard. Have you checked the notes document that I made? Yeah, they are extremely vague. Well, I figure I can't. It's almost day by day planned out for how little we know. Yeah, I'm just going to be like, okay, Chick-fil-A at 1230. Yeah.

15 minutes to eat. 15 minutes to eat, and if we're not on that, I just turn into, like, psycho road driver dad. It reminds me of a school trip, though. Like, you know, when we take the bus down to Florida. That's about how it is. All right, from 12 to 1, we're eating. You guys took a bus down to Florida? Yeah, for the band trip. Really? You went on a band trip? Yeah, yeah. We played band at Disney World. Really? Yeah. I could just see Mike on that bus just cheesing, just looking out the window. Yeah.

That was a good time. I actually remember on the bus, some kids were using chewing tobacco. So they, no joke, got snitched on. Bummer there. Who was it? Who was the tattletale? Looks like me, of course. Dude, I honestly think one of the tattletales was the bus driver because there was a bed back there, so there was two drivers, so they'd switch back and forth. And so we were in the back of the bus, you know, just chatting, and they were...

Chewing tobacco. So they got kicked off the, well, like they got sent home. No way. Their parents had to fly them home. Damn. I'd be like, and keep in mind, this happened like 25 hours into the 33 hour trip. No, just had to fly back home and ride on a bus for sleep on the bus. Yeah. That was, yeah. I think they just drive like straight straight through. Yeah. That sounds terrible. Honestly, don't think I could do it. No way, dude.

I couldn't have done that even back then. That's pretty crazy. That doesn't sound that bad. Yeah. I guess. But it is funny. You're just like chilling with your homies. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that part sounds fun. But after 28 hours, I'd rather drive in a pickup. So speaking of doing long drives. What's a long drive? Well, just the drive I made yesterday. I'm kind of a trucker now. I drove eight hours. Oh, yeah. Or was it nine? I drove nine hours. You did good. It's for a good cause. In one day. Just so.

probably four and a half hours to Wisconsin. And then we spent 20 minutes surprising the giveaway winner with the snowmobile. He was electric. It was totally worth it.

Probably the most excited I've ever seen anyone. Yeah. He took his shirt off, pulled his pants down, started helicoptering his dick. Whoa. Yeah, it was crazy. Oh, he was crying. It was the strangest thing, but it was lit. Like, it was great content. And then we got back in the truck, and I drove four and a half hours back home. It just reminded me, though, that you're talking about doing drives.

riding a pickup not bad when there's only four guys in it no yeah so we're relatively uh in the planning process still but i definitely i would uh if i were on the west coast um and you're listening to this and you have anything in mind that you think that we should do um comment it we'll we'll try to read through them and and add stuff to the list as we go but maybe thinking about riding some pit bikes down the vegas strip which would be like

pretty surreal. I don't know if that's going to happen, but that would be so cool. That would be sick. Yeah. I don't know if he was saying the Vegas trip. This guy that I met in Vegas last time, he was a waiter. He gave me his number. He was like, yo, if you guys want to ride some pitters, we go in the undergrounds of Vegas. Oh, underground. I looked it up and dude, I

I mean, the undergrounds of Vegas look scary. I mean, it's scary. I was concerned going into Slab City, and I feel like I probably handled it pretty well. The undergrounds of Vegas look sketch. There's people doing drugs and stuff down there, just like this whole other society it looked like. I don't know. Just look it up on YouTube. You think it'd piss them off riding really loud? Well, that's what I'm thinking. You come pulling down there. Boom.

And then it's like dark down there, dude. It's like dark. What's going on? It's weird. What is the undergrounds of Vegas for? Yeah, I don't even know. I don't even know if that was a thing. I don't know. I think they're storm drains. Maybe for storm drains. Yeah, that's what it looks like. Maybe look it up, Ken. Just pull it up so we can look. But, you know, the idea sounded great. And then I, like, for some reason saw a video of it. And I was like, oh, I don't know if I want to do that anymore. Yeah.

You know me, I just love really scary places out of my comfort zone. I did so well in Slab City. Yeah, you did make a lot of friends. That was just another one of those things too, like riding with gators, going to Slab City. It sounds crazier and then when you're actually in it, you're like, oh, this isn't that wild. Like most things when you do it, you're like, oh, it's not that bad. Yeah, maybe we should go down to Slab City. But that one was still like me and CJ were like, what are you talking about? This is just fine. And even in the moment, you guys were not feeling it at all. Yeah, it was pretty scary.

It wasn't scary. It was uncomfortable. Well, you guys clowned me for wanting to live there. Michael would love this place. Mike wasn't freaking out. It was just a hole in the ground. I'm honestly good though on Slab City. I don't

There's nothing else that they could offer that we haven't already experienced, I'd say. I think it'd be cool to go back to Slab City and bring stuff. Yeah, I want to give some supplies. Yeah, I like that. They don't care about money. What they want is some booze, cigarettes. Water. Water, weed. They don't do vapes there. No actual necessities. Necessities in Slab City. Everything except for vape. Some food. Trying to put an end to it. No, they don't smoke vapes out there. You know who else doesn't smoke vapes?

Well, I thought it would be Ken after the billboard, but I learned that it made absolutely no change. He's a tough cookie to crack. Yeah. Like I said, I thought, I honestly, I thought that it would do it. Maybe we got it instead of the billboard. We got to get them in rehab. Rehab. I've, I'm not doing your rehab bullshit. Ken, that's what they all say. Okay.

Said every person to rehab. Going to rehab ever. Rehab bullshit. I don't need rehab. Honestly, Ken, first step. You hate the vape jokes and content so much. I figured that would just be your final straw to be like, all right, I'm done. I feel like the more you try and push me to do something, the more I'm going to resist and just say, oh, fuck it.

Believe me, this is what I was saying. If you want Ken to do something, tell him to do the opposite of it and he will do what you want him to. It's basically just a mind game. You think we should surprise him with vapes? Hey, Ken, don't pick up that empty bottle on the floor there.

Don't put it in the trash either. Then he'll pick it up and put it in the trash. You gotta just play it. Good old fashioned reverse psychology. Yeah, reverse psychology. So tell him, Ken, we love it when you vape. Can I buy you some more? You know, I'm not really feeling this anymore. I don't want you to vape. Get the fuck out of here.

This episode is brought to you by Honda. When you test drive the all-new Prologue EV, there's a lot that can impress you about it.

Visit Honda.com slash EV to see offers.

Here's the, yeah, here's how you get him to quit. You guys start vaping with him and he's like, ah, you're cramping my style. Yeah, that would do it. Listen guys, there can only be so many vapors in this crew. Yeah, the billboard was a lot of fun. Um, kind of learning that it doesn't cost for what, for what we get out of it. It doesn't cost all that much to rent a local billboard in town. Yeah, it's all right off too. And you know, as long as it's somewhat appropriate, you know, you can't,

cross there's some lines that can't cross they'll do it and they'll put it up and they're like pretty good whatever plaster it up or however that works yeah can we talk about just like the whole process behind that yeah i didn't realize how much work went in behind the scenes for you guys on that well because i was one of the people who got surprised you three were in on it yeah so i've had that idea in my notes for a while it wasn't necessarily ken it was just like what could we put on a

and initially I was going to I want to do it on the electronic one that goes by it just like flips through them but I started thinking about that shit's lame that's not the same yeah like a couple months ago I just started looking up Newman signs and just gave them a call and asked how much it would be to you know get a billboard and they told me $1,200 I was expecting like $10,000 when they said $1,200 I was like

Eyes lit up, went over, told Ben, and then we just started plotting, like, what would be something good to put on it? Who's going to be the victim? Well, I mean, yeah, I guess we just didn't know, like, how savage to go with it. Well, you were limited, too, because, like...

It's a public billboard. You can only do so much on a... But a vaping billboard, it's a good cause to somebody who does it. Yeah, like an anti-vaping. It makes sense and we just knew that was Ken's trigger spot. It flowed really well with the hypnotist, which I think the

The billboard might have been scheduled before the hypnotist. So it all just storylined really nice. Yeah, it did. And it looks professional too. Cause we kind of like drew it up and here's where we want this. Well, here's what we want to say. And Mike went in there and, and put his graphic design touch on it. And we were like, Oh my God, this is like a full on, this is a real billboard. Well, the guy that I sent it to, he did hit me up when, after I sent it, he was like, I don't know if we can run this. And this kind of seems like a hit piece out on Ken and,

yada, yada. And then I just was like, I just sent back this like really long thing. I was like, Oh no, no, no. He, he's all, he's all in on it. He, he thinks it's funny. You know, this has been a long thing coming and, uh, this is all for content. And he, he knows it's going down when in reality, Ken didn't. And I was like, just run, just run the billboard. We were going to have,

have him call and put like me on hello this is ken yeah i was worried he was gonna ask well can i just talk to ken i was that's why i was like okay ben be ready i'm gonna send him over your way i think it was pretty smooth and seamless yeah and then we figured out the last thing ken wants to do is go to rehab yeah yeah that was really what scared him what do you think i'm fucking blind

Not fucking blind, CJ. And we're like, oh shit, okay, he saw it. He's just not really giving us a reaction. And then he finally sees the billboard and he's like, Jesus! He was writing from the whole time. Can't make it up. So it's like you...

when do you read, like notice a billboard? I, you get so blind to all these billboards out there. You just focus on other things. And it's just like, that's a accessory on the side. You don't even like, I agree. I agree a hundred percent. So it's probably not too big of a deal having it on the billboard. Oh, I, my phone has been blown up. Really? Probably from the video rather than the billboard. Yeah. But still like I get texts from all the local people. Hey, nice billboard. There's just plenty of that in general. I did get a couple of texts.

uh from friends and like mainly parents uh that have kids that watch our videos and uh let me let me read it actually because it was it was good and ken i think you're a part of a bigger cause that you should be proud of you're sacrificing yourself to save the young and up-and-coming unwillingly well ken sometimes doing a good deed isn't isn't by choice

The sign for Ken is actually a great message for your core followers. My son, your followers really look up to you guys and they see vaping is not cool. Thank you. I know Ken. I know Ken and I'm sure he doesn't like it, but it sends a good message. I think it's it.

It is funny, though, because there's such a wave. It's a positive message. There's been such a wave of everyone was smoking cigarettes, and then cigarettes became not cool. And if you were smoking darts, people thought it was gross. And now everyone is smoking vapes. And I think that there's going to be a wave of...

people being like, oh my gosh, don't put those chemicals in your body more than there already is. And smoking vapes isn't going to be cool. I've been saying it forever. I mean, it is funny. We kind of are on the forefront. And there's been like certain things, especially with like the robot dick story that went viral. I'm leading a revolution. Yeah, I think so. I think so. Against Ken's will. You know, I'm trying to save his life.

I'm not confused because I know you're addicted, but you hate it so much, but you're still not willing to quit. He doesn't hate vaping. He loves it. No, he hates that we make a joke out of it. Because after the billboard incident, you were so mad. I got mad because I couldn't sleep that night because my phone was fucking blowing up. I was like, I couldn't go to bed. And then somehow, kids, if you can block people on your phone...

But if they FaceTime you, it still goes through. So I could not sleep that night. I don't know why you didn't just put it on airplane mode. I don't know. I got so sick of it. And I was just, I couldn't sleep that night. And it was just like, fuck, this thing has to go down. Did you ever consider, hmm, maybe I should just stop? I mean, yeah. You should start answering. Just say, I stopped. I quit. I quit calling. Oh, okay. Well, great. Hey.

Just people in general, when they call you, it just gets really old. Oh, I'm sure. When you're getting 500 calls a day, it's just like, I can't. To be fair, you were kind of getting some calls. I mean, yeah, I just totally blew this out of the water. This is a different level. Luckily, though, you know, you've changed your number now, so everyone can quit calling. I mean, they can call it if they want, but it's not going to go through. It just goes like a beep, beep.

beep but i do feel bad for some of the innocent bystanders that were affected in this situation because apparently some of the viewers are dyslexic and they dial the number wrong and this one guy was getting blown up because you guys were calling the wrong number and

He was like messaging me. Take the video down. He was fucking messaging our family members like, please, can you get a hold of them? Like, take the YouTube video down. We're like, dude, the video ain't coming down. Like, I didn't, we didn't put your specific number. Like, I can't control that people are dialing the wrong number and calling you. I mean, yeah, it sucks. I'm sorry, but it'll die down in a little bit. Just like, let it pass. Yeah, I ended up messaging the guy back.

saying dude i'm sorry this sucks but the video is not coming down so i can't really help you also it's not your phone number so it's not like you did anything wrong there and i was like maybe try blocking it and he was like i can't blocking it i can't block it i need it for work and i was like all right that that does actually i mean i don't really see a difference though if you think about it like imagine we ran a commercial on tv and it was like

call my electrician service. Granted, there probably wouldn't be a major wave of people trying to call it. Like if they dial the wrong number and call you, it's like,

what do you take your commercial down quit advertising for your business you know it's like yeah my grandma's phone number was one number off from the fargo dome which is like a concert venue so whenever there'd be a new concert you know people are frantically trying to dial through because you apparently used to buy concerts over the phone so her phone on like concert days like it would start ringing and then she used to be really nice and go oh no this is judy

would explain the whole situation. They'd be like, okay. And then by the end of it, after, you know, I mean years of it, she would be like, Oh, concerts released, you know, on Friday, I'm going to just take my phone off the hook and just, wow. Would have to, I was just part of life. I just get a new number. I think taking a video down for us is like the ultimate,

pulling teeth. You know, I'm just saying like, it just wasn't a valid reason that we do and we're not taking the video. Like if I somehow fucked up and didn't put Ken's number and put his number there, I would have put it down so quick. Cause I've been like, damn, that's like, that's gotta be somewhat against the law. Yeah. But like, I mean, dude, I'm sorry. And like, I'm sure it's died down cause he quit complaining now.

I said, dude, it seems really bad right now, but I guarantee it's going to stop. It's not going to stop, but it's going to get better. He hasn't said anything since. Videos just kind of plateau. They'll be on the rise, but eventually they kind of start plateauing off. The amount of people that are going to call on this is going to be much less. If they even happen to randomly...

Missed dial his number. You know, there's so many numbers you could miss dial. I wonder how many he got. Cause I feel like Ken especially is pretty calloused. You know, if he gets like 50 phone calls in a day that are wrong numbers, I go, Oh,

quiet day. But like, I wonder if this guy got 10 and freaked out about that or if he got, or if he really did get a lot, he was saying hundreds and hundreds. And I was like, I just have a hard time believing that that many people would mess up. Yeah. But we also didn't hear from anyone else. Yeah. Nobody else reached out. Yeah. Nobody else said, Hey, I have a number. I have a number one off somewhere. Yeah.

It was just him. I don't know. To be fair to Ken, honestly, wouldn't have put your number up there if you already didn't have your number leaked. It was like you were already considering getting a new phone number. So it was just like, this is so much funnier now, too, if we just actually put the final name on the coffin, you know? It was just so, like, to a very large extent, which is part of why it's funny. You're a trooper, Ken.

I don't agree, but I can't change your decisions. It feels like it's been up for so long and it's only been up for 10 days. Out of 30. That was one of the more exciting things. Being there and getting to see that finally happen.

That was pretty fun. That was good. Yeah, so many people have reached out to saying this is by far the funniest thing you've ever done. Yeah, a lot of people really are loving it. And it's great advertising. I feel like there's something in a small town like Fargo that we put it up in. When they see your name or your business on a billboard, they're like, they made it. They made it. They're doing it. And you don't even have to be home. You don't have to drive by it or anything like that, so that's good.

Oh, like Ken does that? Yeah, Ken doesn't have to look at it or anything like that, so that's good. I still get pictures of it every day. Do you? By who? All the local people that we know that live in Fargo in the winter. They probably love it, dude. Yeah, that's got to be awesome. It's a new person every day. They're probably like, dude, this is so funny. I wish people thought of me. I wish people even said anything to me. No one says anything to me. Yeah.

I look at my phone like, oh, who texted me? You got people like, they're going to the billboard to take pictures with it. Like, you know, those brick walls with the wings that girls go. It's like that. I've gotten a handful, you know, I'm just saving them and they're like, got a picture next to the Ken billboard. Oh, really? Start saving all of them. We can maybe put them at the end of the video. I was hoping that it'd be more of like a, like a touristy spot of people in town. Stop. I think it is. I assume it is. Ben, have you been doing any investing lately? Uh,

yeah, I actually just invested in a bank. Bank.

Ben put his money in the bank. He quit investing in fucking banks crash. Is it called Silicon Valley? Unbelievable. Yes, it is. Why? That's worthless now. Oh? They're gone. What? So, Ken, I've seen this all over Twitter. Basically, what happened is this bank, something happened. Can you give us like a 10-second spark notes on what happened to this bank? It was kind of like this venture capitalist guy. He said this bank, they have liquidity problems. Totally.

Told all his like venture capital, like companies, Hey, pull all your money out of this bank. And they were like a big, they invested into like startups and like tech stuff in Silicon Valley and like the East coast. So then they pull all their money out. Other people catch wind that, Oh, they're pulling their money out. I should pull my money out. It was just a classic bank run.

And then everyone starts pulling their money out, and they don't have any money left to give you. So it was kind of like... Dude, how does that work? They were the second biggest bank in the United States. Really? No, it was like top, I think, top 15. Still? I don't know. Huge, still. So it was literally just a rumor. Like one guy was just like, yo, that bank, I don't know about that. And then it literally shut the whole thing down? It seems like that's the whole story. I mean, they had...

They put their money into like treasury bills, which were locked up for so many years in the future. And they just couldn't get enough money to give to people when they wanted to pull their money out. Yeah. So the way that I understand it in layman's terms, basically when the bank takes your money, you put a hundred bucks in, it's like the South park bit, then they take the money and then they invest it to make money on your money. So they don't actually have it like sitting in the vault.

Right. Or they borrow to other people. They have to keep at least 10 cents on every dollar. They typically keep more than that. That's crazy. That's low in my opinion. Yeah. Having 10%. Yeah. You only got 10% of the cash that you are owed.

that you owe people but they don't expect you to pull it out like there's they have more than that but it's like they're regulated they have to keep a minimum that much on hand all i gotta say is if i went to the bank to take my money out because i was scared or even if i wasn't scared or because you don't believe in banks and they told me you can't have your money because we don't have it i would be stressing and imagine taking it from the

relatively small number we have in our bank accounts it's like fd fda fdic insured or whatever but if you're over 250 grand none of that is insured so it's effectively lost like it's just gone it's not worth anything if the bank goes under i mean i think they can do like bank buyouts and stuff like yeah that's what i've heard yeah so what are people doing people that were scheduled they were going to get paid on friday those checks didn't go out because the bank i

The bank got taken over by the FDIC. It's like that bank doesn't exist anymore. So then they're supposedly going to open up a new one on Monday with all those deposit accounts and they can get things going again and try and get everything cleared out. All these people, their business is based in this bank. They get paid from this bank. It's just gone. I did see this thing on Twitter, so I don't know if it's really real or not, but you couldn't withdraw your money, but you could spend it.

you know, on like from the debit card. So this guy said they were paying, they were putting as much money as they could in the Starbucks gift cards because they said that Starbucks was more stable than their bank. And worst case, they had a shit ton of money tied up in Starbucks and they could sell it.

Basically, you would sell your gift cards and be like, listen, I got a $50 gift card to Starbucks, you know, or you probably do it in a more larger batch. God, that's going to be a fucking hassle, dude. Could you imagine, though? Trying to sell gift cards? That Starbucks was more stable than their bank. Well, dude, I think we talked about it before, but Starbucks is a bit of a bank itself, which kind of blows my mind. You know, people load the money, maybe not tangible gift cards, but they load their money into the app, and then Starbucks does the same thing with the money as the banks do. I mean, not necessarily give them loans, but...

investing. This is so crazy. Also, just be crazy. Yeah, let's just say you got 25 grand and you just put 20 of it in the Starbucks gift cards. That's a lot of stars. You're going to have coffee for the rest of your life. That's a lot of stars. Maybe even longer. Dude, that's crazy though. That's like...

1929, right? Right before the Great Depression. Wasn't it when the stock market crashed, everyone was going to the bank and trying to withdraw money? Did that happen in 2008 too? I don't think that happened in 2008. I think it was mostly in the 20s. Interesting. I've been seeing more and more stuff about people talking about the world, I guess the United States, and life pre-2009, 2008, 2009 crash. And I'm like, it really is weird to think about it.

Life changed a lot after 9-11, but also that stock market crash and all that in 2009. Housing, yeah. It really did change the way the top, top 1% of the 1% are trying to control. Before, it was like everyone was kind of doing their own thing, but now it's like it really is, I don't care anymore.

how many Americans I'm screwing over as long as I'm still getting rich. And as long as I will be safe, if that ever happens again, I don't, it's just weird. I don't know. I think that's been happening since the beginning of time is the rich get richer. Well, right. But I just think it was different before then. Cause like the thing is, if you're like a rich dude and the housing market crashes and you got all this money and you're versus someone who is maybe normal and you know, doesn't have a bunch of excess money. Um,

The housing market's now super cheap. You can buy a bunch of houses super cheap. They start buying them and then it goes back up eventually and they own all this stuff, you know? It's just a cycle and it just does it all over again. Eat or get eaten. Yeah. Which is unfortunate. It is, yeah, but that's just kind of how it works. It was interesting to hear Steve talk about it like that and he's like, yeah, no, it's...

It's just like the way of the world. I think it's been like that since ever, even before there was money and stuff like that. If you were the strongest guy in the village...

You got to do what you want. Yeah. You got all the women. And if you killed everybody else to protect your position, that's what I remember learning about that in school is more of a government thing, but like a just big stick government, that's what they called it. And so whoever has the biggest stick, right. Is the most powerful government. I'm just like, that's crazy. Yeah. Big stick. Yeah. We got more money, bigger army. Your country is now ours. Damn. So Evan's got quite a leg up. Oh, that kind of sticks.

No, he just walks into the country, farts. Clear him out. Like a gas bomb. Dude, that's the only thing I'm not looking forward to for this RV trip is Evan being in that thing. Stinky boy. Oh, my gosh. We're going to have to keep a window open at all times and then a window in the back so it can just keep flushing out. It's a constant breeze. Yeah, the dude's got some absolute firepower. Is there such a thing as having like a chronic...

farting problem like chronic gas i'm sure gotta be something ibs i don't know if he if i'd go as far as to say you know possibly he has something wrong with him otherwise it's just his diet i think maybe some of that vape smoke maybe comes out the other end it's stored down there and for sure well he said uh back in his asbestos days it was a lot worse because he was just eating gas station food

So it's toned down a little bit now, which is mind-boggling to me. And then I think the driving down to Florida put him back in his old ways of just gas station, gas station, gas station. He got there and his body was like, oh, man. Yeah, Mike had to sleep with him in a room. It wasn't too bad, but he...

Just lets him rip all the time. And then I just told him, I don't care if you fart, but you just got to be courteous about it. And so then he started doing the phone and shit. You sound like my girlfriend. Because I knew it was going to happen. So then he would get himself off.

off the bed, kind of hang off or open the door to the outside. Really? He would get up even. I was like, appreciate that, man. Appreciate that. It's going to be tough sleeping. When we left the trees above the door to come in and out, they were like, yeah, starting to die, dropping leaves. I think luckily for me, as long as, dude, I mean,

I would say literally like half his farts smell, just like anyone else. And sometimes that number goes up and down. Dude, that's a gamble I'm not willing to take. I still think that farts are really funny. Really? Yeah. You'd laugh? I laugh. Like every time. Just encourages him a little bit. Yeah, and Ben does the same thing. Ben probably farts like second most farts.

I would say. And every time Ben farts, I laugh. I'm far behind. It's funny. Yeah, far behind. It's just, I just laugh every time. So it really can't bother me if I find it funny. If it stinks though, then I'm just like...

And I got to leave because I got a weak stomach nowadays. Then he's like, what? What? And we're like, what do you mean what, dude? You don't smell this? It's only what... Yeah, when it's stinky, it's a problem. I think it boils down to the diet, man. And I was just talking with Alex on the way over here because I was like, man, I need to lose some weight. Like, obviously, I'm not...

Like, overweight. But I just want to get in better shape. Like, I've got weight in my cheeks. So, anyways, I've been going on this diet. And by diet, I'm just trying not to eat as much shit. I'm cutting out, like, the unnecessary drinking. And I've already shaved off nine pounds in two weeks. Well, I've been with you for two weeks, and there's been some unnecessary drinking. As I said, I'm trying.

Moral of the story here. Okay. Moral of the story. Alex and I were talking because we were on way over here. It's really hard to eat healthy around here, you know? Barfing. Yeah, exactly. Unless you're like cooking. What if we got a chef around here? Dude, I've been saying that. We don't have a kitchen though.

Yeah, but I feel like it's enough. So the first line of it is, how much does a chef cost? That's what I was wondering. You got to look that up first. But they'd have just like maybe come... That's our third, second employee. They'd just come here, maybe some other shit's already like chopped up and everything, and then they just put it together. But then like... Who's chopping it up, Evan? No, like the chef, dude. Hello, Fresh. But my point, they come in here, they start feeding us better. I'm losing weight. You're losing weight, Ben. We all know you need it. And then Evan's farts all of a sudden...

Or maybe he's farting. Maybe he's just farting clean, pure air. Is this CJ's fucking vision of a perfect city with cars flying and shit like that?

Dude, honestly, maybe there is. His farts start smelling good. I don't know. The thing that worries me is, okay, so let's say we got some spinach, asparagus, and salmon. I ain't eating that shit. Yeah, Ryan and I are going to like that. Sorry. Wait, you don't like? No, I love salmon, but the asparagus and spinach. Ryan, have you ever eaten vegetables? Bro, asparagus is so... Buttered asparagus is one of the best tasting vegetables ever. Obviously, that's an opinion. But...

I feel like if Evan ate that meal, he'd have some gnarly farts. And that's our one meal. You start feeding them even healthier and they just get worse. Yeah. His body doesn't know what to do. I don't even know. Yeah. He's like got a hearty steak and some sweet potatoes and then some green beans. He gets bedridden. He's really sick. He's taken to the hospital. They're like, let's just pump some shit into him. Like some shit food. Get some McDonald's in here. Pump some shit in backwards. Hey, quick, quick, quick. Get

get the backup vape. They come in with three big vapes. They got an IV with it, just like going straight into his... I mean, honestly though, I feel like maybe there's a... Like if we hired Slim, you know, he has other things he can do and then he can also cook. You know,

I think Slim would be cooking some fantastic food, but I don't know if it'd be healthy. Matt, you are probably right about that. We need a chef that's also talented in other areas. We need someone dialed. That's what I'm saying. Think how much time we'd save. We wouldn't be going out to eat all the time. No, I know, but that's what I was thinking. Ken's like, yo, I have 9,000 shirts to fold.

And then we're like, sorry, man, but supper's ready. We said no. I'm just. Oh, you're saying that as opposed to hiring a teenage boy for $10 an hour to fold T-shirts. We have done that again. Not quite saying that, but yeah. Dude, honestly, go back to the farting thing. I've never been big on both like in high school, you know, guys would fart or they'd burp.

Burping is so gross. Never really been anything that I ever thought was funny. I was like, mm. Like, if you're deliberately belching, like, it's fine. Everyone's got to burp. Everyone's got to fart. But, like, you're at a dinner. People are eating around you, and you just go bleh.

Like that guy at B-Dubs. Yeah. Dude, that shit pissed me off. He did it multiple times too. You guys weren't there, but we were in Chicago. We're sitting there at B-Dubs trying to get a meal the night before. There's this guy sitting there. He's got his girl. And he's just talking loud, whatever. And he's like, two shots, two shots. He's like ordering shots and then putting them on. He's like...

She'll get these shots, but I'm getting everything else. I'm getting the meal. I'm getting everything else. Anyway, so this guy's just talking a lot. He's just pounding down drinks. Pretty soon he just keeps letting out these burps. I'm not kidding you. The whole restaurant would stop and be like, look at him. It was just like, it was so gross. People were trying to eat. And he was just like, he was just a slob. And then at the end of it, we're like tabbing out. And he goes to get his tab. And the lady comes back and she's like,

the card got declined. He goes, what? Uh, well, why'd you put all the food on mine? It was like, we clearly heard him say that. Yeah. So then he's like, move all the food off. Just keep the shots. Well,

They move all the shots off, still couldn't pay. Yeah, his girlfriend just ended up paying for the whole thing. Honestly, I normally would feel really bad and just be like, I got their meal, you know, whatever. But the dude was burping constantly, like at a middle school lunch table. And it completely ruined my appetite. I only ate half my food. And then we just walked out of there and Ben just goes...

That guy needs to figure it out. Dude, it was a bad look. Bad look. Poor girl, dude. I don't know what that girl's doing with him. Paying for all his shit. I don't give a fuck about the money, but dude, his manners, I'd never seen anything worse. Yeah, I thought he did it on accident. The first time I let it slide. And then he kept doing it. The first time I let it slide, but then, yeah, then it was like he was showing off. He was just, and I mean, they were large, loud burps. It kind of reminded me that one time we were at that nice-ass restaurant and you did it. I'm like,

Yeah, that's what I was like. You did it one time and we were like, Mike, what are you doing? I was waiting for it. And then I was like, yeah, my bad, my bad. But I don't, and also, yeah, like as someone who finds farts really funny, I don't find burps super funny. And that one was like a one-time, couple-time thing. Also burps,

almost always smell. So you definitely want to get out of the way of that. It just ruined my whole meal. And I got like a large portion of wings. I couldn't even eat them all. I was pissed. So sad. Couldn't even bring them home. Drop an L in the chat for siege. Yeah, that guy won that one. Won that battle. Ultimately lost. Walked out feeling real good about himself. Those guys didn't even enjoy their food. He cleared out the bar, dude. People were leaving. People were repulsed.

So you guys, like I've been a big fan of Barstool for a while. I think it's a platform that's very much here to stay. They do a lot of things now. They're always trying to do more. Some of it, super entertaining. The Caleb interviews are like amazing. Some of them are not good at all. But anyway, moral of the story is, how many years is it going to take for people to stop commenting on

bitching about how it's not sports. Like, obviously it's not going to be sports anymore. They post almost, almost no sports and the comments are just nonstop. And it's like, I can't believe people are still wasting their time.

Dude, they're bigger than ever. Upset that Barstool Sports doesn't post sports. Well, no, they do post sports. They have like 45 podcasts all dedicated to like each sport. Totally. It's just funny that I think they get mad if not every post is about sports. And I just genuinely, it's like, how do you not get that it's never going to be that way? And it really never even was that way. Since I followed them. That's what I mean. Five years. We probably, yeah, like followed them when they were like,

pretty small. Let's say a couple hundred thousand and people were a little upset about it now and it just still goes on. I'm picturing Barstool 10 years from now still posting like party clips or funny stuff and people still... I think sometimes it's just a marginalized group of people that...

are against it, they end up being the loudest. So it seems that way because the people that like it are just, they look at the post like, nice. And then they just keep moving on. But like the complainers oftentimes can be the loudest group, even though they're like 5%. I tell you what, it's not making any difference because they just got bought out for 550 million. Yeah. But really? Yeah. Well, so Penn,

bought the rest of it, which I think was like 60%. The other 60%. And then I valued the company at 550. Wow. I mean, wildly successful and the shit's not changing. And they're not changing their name. Would that make you happy? They changed their name to just Barstool? Dude, I think over...

The next 10 years, we are going to see Barstool just get bigger and bigger and bigger. Oh, yeah. I mean, same. As they continue to get more into the gambling section of society where you're going to see more sports books and bars. I think sports gambling is just coming more acceptable and bigger, being that it's getting legalized in each state. Yeah.

And Barstool is going to be at the forefront of that. Definitely. Definitely. How much did they get bought out for? Penn paid $388 million for 64% stake that they did not already own. They paid $163 million in 2020 for a 36% stake. Hold on. So what's Dave Portnoy own? 0% now at Barstool, but he still works there? Don't think anything. Must have sold it all.

Interesting. And it's not a, maybe it's a dumb question, but it's like not, it's not a public company. Like no pen is a public. Okay. Yeah. Speaking of things that I don't, I don't really know that internet's always evolving and stuff like that, but there's this new trend where it's like any Joe Schmo blow with a podcast, just interviews a porn star and asks them in or an only fans girl and ask them incredibly like,

It's not even like interesting them. It's like, so where's the craziest place you got? Fuck.

You know, like it's just really weird and it always shows up on my Facebook feed. They're targeting you. No, I don't really think so. Maybe even just podcasts in general. But I just don't – I don't really think – It's just podcasts. It's not the guests. It's not anything to do with content. But no, I mean like fucking Trevor Wallace does it and like all these people. It just is like this trickle-down effect of like getting less and less and it's just –

I feel like it's cheap views. Yeah, it's cheap views is what I am trying to spit out. It's all the same. It's the same questions. It's the same concept. They're making a bunch of money and just like...

I don't know. I've always kind of thought of it as exactly that, cheap views. I put my foot down. No more porn stars. Well, Ryan, you're going to have to change your browsing history. Well, dude, that's why I've always been really thankful for the viewership we do have here because I'm picky. I'm picky as hell on the podcasts I listen to. And to get into a new podcast is damn near impossible in my opinion. It's tough, yeah. Well, that's how having guests on...

It's how you probably typically grow your podcast unless you're already a pretty big platform to begin with. Obviously, all the people that have came and found our podcast came from Seacoys TV. They came from the YouTube vids. Happy, you know, that it went well. But yeah, you're right. We have a great audience. If we didn't have our YouTube channel, this would be nothing. Absolutely. They'd have no interest. But if we want to grow this bigger, then...

you know, where we're at right now, having guests on is probably the only way you'd be able to do it. And then the bigger we get, the cooler guests will be able to have, we see the comments about like, you guys should interview, you know, all these people, you know, we're trying, we're trying, we've, we've been trying to get guests on. Like we had,

two guests, two different guests on the last two podcasts. And I saw it didn't get as good of views, which is weird to me. I know. And then I saw some people even comment like, I don't like when you guys have guests on. I was like, God damn it. But you can't please everybody. You can only talk about burps every day. It's fun to do. It's fun to do a little bit of both. I think if you can. Yeah, I think it makes it both. When we go on this RV trip, I really want to at least get three in the bag. You know, with some good people. At least, yeah. You know, it's tough because we got such limited time. You got to keep moving, but...

And we typically do prioritize the YouTube channel over on a podcast, which, you know, but it's definitely next in line. Yeah. I just love talking to guests and just learning what they're about. Cause I'm just genuinely interested. Like I could probably sit down and have a conversation with any guy on the sidewalk and be pretty interested in what, what they do. Yeah. If you didn't listen to the last two, especially the Steve one. Yeah. So it's so good. Yeah. There's definitely some, some,

some stuff to learn from that. It's just like the growing process of, of, uh, continuing to get other guests. But I don't know. I think people really like just listening to us sit down and chop it up because it's like, I don't know. Anyone can be entertained by it. We'll keep trying to keep doing interesting. I love it. Yeah. I just want to say thank you to everyone who listens to this podcast. And then also everybody who watches the YouTube vids and just has supported us over the years. Cause I mean,

you know, we wouldn't be here or doing any of this without you guys. So thank you so much. Yeah. Episode 69, getting a little emotional. And on that note, thank you again for watching, listening, subscribing, commenting, and we'll see you for number 70 next week. We might be on the road. We might be on the road. You're right.
