- $110,000 gone, dude. That's nuts, man. - I agree. - He's a great storyteller. Most of them we can't tell you guys. - I'm in Argentina for 24 hours. - Yeah. - You could keep it forever. You total it up, dude. - Yeah, it's one way or the other. I should break that and start selling some. - You don't gotta be lame. You just choose to be.

Dude, it's been kind of interesting lately because I've been traveling out and about. I mean, the restaurants around here are getting busier. It's busy seasons picking back up. But I think with all the local news coverage, I feel like more people are recognizing us. Have you guys felt that way when you're out? Yeah, I got recognized recently.

Every spot I went today. Really? Yeah, I mean, I only went two places. I went to the bank and the gym, but yeah. I was talking about this with someone the other day, that the difference between, like, we are worldwide, anybody who's on YouTube is worldwide automatically. Like, anyone in the world can watch. Everybody knows that. But yeah, when we get on the local news, the attention is so different and local. It's just, like, the weirdest thing. Like, everybody's like, oh, the scholarship. Saw you guys on the news. Everybody. And, like, you just don't see that when...

when we're building a Hummer pontoon. Really? We were on the news? I didn't even know we were on the news. Yeah, a couple articles. Yeah, I think Valley News Live did a little thing, a little article. Some nighttime news shows. It is kind of weird. We haven't had much publicity since, or local publicity. We've never really had good publicity. It is nice to have good publicity for once, for sure, but since the Fargo Inc.,

Oh, that's true. I shouldn't say all of it was bad, but yeah, that was a good one. I was thinking about it this week. I was like, damn, yeah, that Fargo Inc. magazine, that was kind of cool. So I went back and I read it and just kind of saw how things had changed. I remember it was crazy. We had like 600,000, 700,000. It seemed like we had a really low amount. Did you have a million? No, I don't think so. We had about a million. We were just about, when they wrote the article, we hadn't hit a million. And then we really had a good fall. And then when it finally came out, we were over a million. So I was reading through and-

Uh, it cracked me up. Ken in that talked about his, uh, we had like bucket list items. Anyway, most of us had like completed.

Really?

Yeah, we're all chipping in. Is the surprise happening this week or is the trip happening this week? No, the trip's happening this week. Let me pull up your itinerary here. You're going to have a blast, buddy. Dude, it sucks you can't go because he still got a lot of orders to send out, right? There's a lot of merch to move around. You can deal with that when you get back. Yeah, there'll be Wi-Fi on the flight and stuff like that. All right, here's your itinerary. You leave Wednesday. Everything's already figured out for you. You did have to fly United. The Delta flight layovers were ridiculous. Hey.

It's going to be a blast, buddy. You booked me an economy on an international flight? Well, I figured you could deal with the upgrades. I'm sorry. He's just pissed about that. He has to ride economy. That's where I ride, Ken, every time. Yeah, I was like, that's literally how we fly every single time. But we're going to send you with a GoPro. Yep. Or we could send Dalton with. Yeah, true. Dalton could go. I could book another flight. So anyway...

This Wednesday at 3 o'clock, you fly out of Minneapolis and you land Thursday in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I land on Thursday and I leave Wednesday. Well, you leave Wednesday afternoon. You land Thursday morning. But yeah, it's part of it. Oh, that's not terrible. It caught me for 24 hours. And you can book the flight from Fargo, but I figure with your Tesla, it probably needs to be down there for service anyway. So there's a couple things I still have to... Yeah. No. What? What do you mean?

I can see it. I'm in Argentina for 24 hours. Yeah, you've got to complete the thing. You'll be back before this weekend. If I was in a random safe country in South America for a day, I'd be pretty stoked.

Yeah. You're going to beautiful Buenos Aires, right? I think that's how you say it. Something like that. So here's a picture of the airport. Wait, why are you saying I'm to Argentina when you wanted to go to Antarctica? That's the connecting. Well, you can't fly right to- Like having to fly to LA before Hawaii. Exactly. So you can't fly right there. So you got to fly from Buenos Aires down to Rio Gallegos. It's like a three and a half hour flight. I was doing some research. I found you like a nice prop plane. Oh, shit.

Sorry, this is my research. Oh, my God. Here's your prop plane. It'll be taken down to Rio. You got to do it. Is that the same plane model that crashed? No, that was a bigger plane. Yeah. Here's a little info on what's going on in Rio currently. Okay. Down activity suspended. Why they locked down, huh? I don't know, but that's fine because you don't have to be there very long. It is a quick trip. So you hop back on the small plane again and you'll fly down to Antarctica where you'll see some penguins.

Do it. Get one picture with a penguin. Yeah, wait. So Ryan, what you didn't realize is it's winter down there and people only like do tourist stuff in our winter. So in the summer. Oh, that's why it was so cheap. Yeah.

That actually makes sense. You still can't go down there in the winter? What's wrong with that? You can, but it's just like... I thought it's always winter there. It's like going to... Like, go to Alaska in the winter. Nobody goes to Alaska in the winter. It is, like you already noticed, a pretty quick trip because you have to get back for the weekend. We have filming and stuff like that. I don't want to miss... Have you miss a weekend up here. It's just a quick flight down to Antarctica. You're there for about 45 minutes. Enough to review. Legendary. Do it. That's what I was curious. We never did get to quite hear...

what you wanted to do down there. Or was it just like, I've been to Antarctica? I think it was, I'd seen like some YouTube travel things, whatever, where they take like a cruise ship and then you like do all that stuff. And we had just taken the cruise with Brian, the previous winner. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, that'd be kind of fun. And then COVID. Yeah. I thought about doing that, but it was like a nine day minimum. And I was like, yeah, you can't be like, it's a full vacation for people. Not just a quick photo op. No. Yeah. But you still get, this is an expedited version. You can do it later. We have the next merch shop coming up with a really big giveaway in just a few weeks. So you have to be back obviously. Yeah.

Hop back on the small plane. And then you obviously are going to have to spend a little bit of time. I'm not a monster. So I did book you accommodations in Rio. Very nice. For two. Doesn't look bad. Yeah. Apartment for two, actually. Maybe we will send Dalton with. You could explore the stunning beauty of Rio while you're down there for a little bit. And then, yeah, you should be home by Saturday morning. It's not bad. It's not bad. It's not bad.

I don't like the fact that it's 14 hours in economy and my legs do not fit. You can upgrade this. I'll send you the confirmation numbers on there. On international flights, those long, let's say, six plus eight plus hour flights aren't economy. They're still not the size of a flight to Florida. They're the same seats, just on a different plane. Wow, that's horrible. Well, then what are the planes with the beds on them? Well, then that's first class. So the back is still economy. They ride 10 hours.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I don't even want to know what those first class tickets are. Flying to Florida, you know, you're looking at, let's say, six, five, six hundred bucks. And then the first class is like twenty three hundred. Yeah. To me, it's like I'd rather just tough it out for a few hours than have an extra two grand to blow. Yeah. Almost. That's me. I've never once paid for first class. It's worth it when the upgrade is only like a hundred bucks. But then if you taint yourself, next thing you know, you're spending thousands.

I mean, I just figured this is a quick little trip for Kenny. It's just nice. Good of you to figure that he'd upgrade himself. How much did you spend on these tickets? It was short notice booking. So I think it was like 2,500 bucks. And that was with the connecting flights too. It'll be a great segment. You got to do it, Ken. I do have to say, I have no idea where my passport is. I haven't seen my passport. Oh my God. You can't go? Because your passport? I don't know.

I'd have to literally same-day passport. He's capping. No, I haven't seen my passport since I went on the cruise with Mike. Are you just scared to go to Argentina? A little bit. That's not exactly the safest country around. We all are just like, oh, let's go to the Bahamas this weekend. Ken all of a sudden has his passport. Oh, yeah, I found it. I'm ready to go. Can you imagine? We're like, well, Ken's gone. We might as well go somewhere, too. And then...

hit somewhere super nice that actually a really funny video so you'll be down there with dalton for you it'll be a fun time because that's like what your dream is but anyone else will be having a terrible time and then we'll be in this like beautiful tropical place like having a good time yeah and you'll be like hiking like riding economy just all crammed in like some prop plane like

bouncing around. That'd be a hilarious bit. We're like, I wonder what Ken's doing right now. And then it cuts to you. It's like hiking up some mountain. That'd be hilarious. Sounds like my idea of 72 hours in hell.

Yeah. Well, I wanted to get you a little break. I know, you know, we did this little cash giveaway thing. You've been working so hard. We have a big giveaway coming up. So this is a nice little break for you right in between. Also our biggest giveaway yet. It is kind of crazy though. So we did this cash giveaway and you guys loved it way more than we expected. And, uh,

We've taken all the money from all the local banks around here. We'd like have cash shipped in. It was interesting. I wasn't expecting. Every order gets some kind of denomination of cash. So either $5 to 500. So, you know, some people are getting 100, some 50, some 20. Some are getting 200. You know, it's just completely random. We fit every bank in probably a 50 mile radius. Yeah.

And they don't let us get any more. They were a little short with me when I was getting some cash from this one bank today. Well, Ken goes, yeah, they're only letting us take $1,000 out a person now. And I was like, what? And then I go there. Lady would only let me do $1,000, but she wouldn't let me do any small bills. So I was just like... Couldn't do the fives? So it was just hundreds. And I was just like, what the fuck, lady? And then she was like, yeah, manager's saying that...

You guys are taking too much cash out. I had to buy some cash from a couple local restaurants, too. Really? Dude, Justin called the casino. I just started asking the homies. That's smart. Yeah, I say we go there and we just double it. Put it all on red, come out with double, and then come home. It's not a matter of money. It's a matter of the cash. Can we get our winnings in fives? We need the hard cash, man. It is kind of funny. You walk into the bank now, and I saw it, too, today. They groan. They know you're about to come in with some odd...

Odd request. I know. They don't like it. It's weird because you think you have the money, you would be able to get it. And like I understand, they need to keep fives for other businesses and tens and twenties and whatever. But still, I would thought you'd be able to get your own cash. Yeah, it is weird that, you know, you think the bank would have the cash. They don't. Yeah. Like if you want to withdraw all your money into cash, you couldn't even do it. I mean, depending how much money you have. Yeah. I just ran into this. So I guess we can tell the podcast people first. I bought a car. Yep. I'm jealous.

C8, 06. Really jealous? Yeah, so I'm very excited. Can I see it? What's it even look like? I haven't even seen it yet. Yeah, let's pull it up. Lucky motherfucker. Nobody buys more cars than Ryan. Like, this dude has gone through so many fucking cars. Like, me sitting next to him? No, but he has gone through so many cars. How many cars? Like, you haven't gone through nearly. His are always, like, brand new and sick. Yeah, I've only... I've never gotten rid of a car. Really? You own every car? So, my very first car was a 96...

Jeep Grand Cherokee that was my parents but it was given to me and then I drove it and it got handed down to my younger brother he crashed it or he got rear-ended totaled it didn't you crash it too? yeah I crashed it too but he got rear-ended and actually totaled it out and

And then the only other vehicle I've ever gotten rid of was my WRX, blue WRX that I hit two deer with going like 80 miles an hour and totaled out. So I had to, in order to get the insurance, but otherwise every single vehicle I have had and I keep it. You either keep it forever. You total it out. Yeah. It's one way or the other. I should break that. Start selling some shit. Yeah.

Break that trend. I just picked up my car from the storage unit, which is also funny. We have a storage unit that's usually packed full. There's nothing in it besides one Evo and some things on the shelf. We were eyeing up the Evo. I'm going to move some more cars in there. Hold on to it for forever. Nobody has done more than Ryan. How many brand new vehicles have you had since we had this channel? I shouldn't even say brand new, but during the course of this channel, you've had your Scion. You had that white F-150. You had the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.

And then you had your TRX, Camaro, TRX again, Hummer, Corvette. Now, that's eight vehicles. That's crazy. Very expensive. Trading vehicles is very expensive. Yeah, and you got to pay tax on them when you buy them. So, like, I mean, if they're $100,000 vehicles, you got $10,000 in tax right there. I know that you're a pretty big advocate on not actually doing the math. Don't do the math. Then we'll know.

But I just want to know, like, are you getting just shafted on some of these, like, new vehicle registration tax title license prices? Because that's what deters me. Yes. Even, like, the Bronco right now. It's, like, the most expensive car I've ever bought. And I don't want to get rid of it yet because I feel like I'm just going to get shafted on tax title license. I don't know. Well, if you trade it in, then you can avoid the tax. But then the problem is you normally get...

on the trade-in. You want to talk about getting dicked on trade-in? Yeah, I mean, we talked about it last week. No, but on the video, but not on the podcast. Was it 80 grand? No, you lost 110. He talked about when it was at 60. Then they came back. He's like, they came back and gave me another offer. They gave me another offer for $30,100 on a $140,000 car. So, Ken...

I mean, people saw it in the background. You got your Cybertruck. I did. But you went to trade in your Tesla Plaid, $140,000 Tesla Plaid. It's super fast. The fastest car on the fleet. It's very nice. Got 11,000 miles on it? 17,000 miles on it. 17,000 miles on it. Beat. Beat.

He went to trade it in on the Cybertruck. They offered him $30,000. He bought it for $142 years ago. Yeah, two years ago. That's insane. $110,000 gone, dude. That's nuts, man. I legitimately couldn't... I could not make the math work where it made sense to trade it in, so I just didn't. I'll buy the car from you for $32,000.

And I'm going to give it to Alex. I'm in for 33. You keep saying it. Dude, I'm in for 60, bro. It's a hell of a car. You're selling retail for 80. I don't even think they were trying to take your money from you. You guys, we had two awesome cars coming to the fleet in the last week. Your car's not here. I'm looking on the screen. This is sick, Ryan. Yeah, I'm really, really excited. I'm really... I don't know why. I loved...

Love, love Benz C8. I like C8s a lot. Oh, so is it white or is it not white interior? White interior. Oh, it's just a different nice glass roof. Is that loaded then? That's everything? Yeah. Dude, I'm just like, I don't know what it is. I love the Lambo, love the GTR. To me, those are just like...

Those cars will always be cool. Like, you know, I could buy a GTR in like 10 years and it'll still be cool. You could buy like a fucking 1990 GTR and it'd be cool. Yeah. But that car right now, in my opinion, is just like the coolest. I don't know why. It's just... It's top. It's so hot. Brand new. Yeah, yeah. And so I am...

Yeah, I'm excited to get a ride in that bad boy, dude. So am I because I bought it actually two weeks ago. I sent all the money out, which actually goes back to the bank thing. I didn't realize this. Like I had checks that were pending. I had to pull money out of a high yield savings account because I'm financially responsible.

Kind of. Kind of. Obviously not. I don't know if that is. Obviously not. It's the opposite. But like, you can't get your money. That orange Corvette. You can't get your money. Like if you walked in the bank and tried to just be like, I need to take my money out. They'd be like, you can't do that. Like they wouldn't let me send a wire for this. They were like, oh, you can send a max of like $10,000 per day. I was like, wait, how am I? They're like, we don't have that type of money. Yeah. It's crazy.

This summer, enjoy less sunscreen smell and more new car smell. Make room for more than just memories with a Lexus SUV. Find offers on select SUVs at the Lexus Golden Opportunity Sales Appendix. Lease the 2024 RX350 all-wheel drive for $539 a month for 36 months with $49.99 to its side.

No, I know exactly what you're saying. Like, I mean, I have some that's in like different investments that the problem is if I need to access it, I don't know if it might take a month even. Yeah. Just depending on what kind of investment it is. So,

So like I've been just kind of holding on to a lot because I'm trying to find a house when it pops up and I just need to be able to act quick. But those that don't know CJ is homeless right now. So no, but I mean like a different, you know, a house of my own because right now we all us three own a house together.

And Ken and I live there. But, yeah, that's badass, Ryan. So is that going to be faster than Ben's Lamborghini? I think so. That's rear-wheel drive, I'm assuming. That's badass. How is a rear-wheel drive car going to be faster than Ben? I mean, obviously, it can be. Than an all-wheel drive car? But, you know, I just find it hard to believe. Normally, it's very tough unless you've got a lot of horsepower. But still, it's just hooking up and...

you know i always look at these like uh zero to sixties i search stuff like this all the time and they're all different yeah they're always because they they track it themselves so like if you find motor trend they do a zero to sixty and they're like we got 2.5 seconds then you look at whoever else and they're like 2.9 i'm like that's a pretty big difference here's one of the things it said 2.5 2.5 for ben's lamborghini that car is fast

Not as fast as my GTR. They're saying 0-60 in 2.6. That is insane. Barely, but who knows? You could still probably beat him. I mean, without Ben races, dude. Yeah, it just comes into who can...

shift better. I mean, as long as you can find the floor, that's really all you got. Make sure you hit the right pedal. I think that's what I love most about the Z06 is that it's that high revving, the new V8. Can you like still not really mod the C8, regular C8s? No, you can mod them, but you can't do the Z06s. They're

like they're no well i guess yeah i figured that too but i just still like a c7 or any other ls motor like before that you can do whatever you want you can everything under the sun but then the c8s it seems like they could like completely lock down the east yeah yeah it's mostly that you could still do lingenfelter does superchargers they have turbo kits yeah isn't it like some weird like piggyback off a sensor to kind of make everything work right

Probably still like that. That's, I guess what I was wondering if it's still like that piggyback and if it works, it works. So there's two things I find interesting about this, this new car purchase, Ryan. Okay. There's two like different viewpoint. Oh, I have three. First off, I'm just happy for you. Cause I think it's, it's super cool. Like I'm jealous. That's a sick car. Thank you.

I just think it is absolutely hilarious that you bought a black TRX, did all this work to it, traded it on this Camaro two years ago, and you were like, oh, it was such a mistake. What am I going to do? That fall, you buy another TRX again for even more money. So you lost money on the first one. You buy another one brand new. You do all this tax and whatever. You do all the same mods to it pretty much. Pretty much. And then you do it again. Yeah.

You do it again. You traded your TRX for this, which I just think is crazy. Yeah. Well, it went to that dealership. To save tax and stuff. Yeah. Makes sense. What'd they give you on trade-in for a TRX? Uh, 90. 90? What'd you buy it for? Uh,

Uh, one Oh one, one Oh one. That's not bad. I mean, I put a lot into it and the car market's gone down a lot in that time. Really bad, man. But yeah, so, so are you going to get another TRX now this fall or no? I've, my goal is to just be content. I'm just surprised you'd get rid of it though. Wasn't that a great truck? Yeah, it was. I loved it. What was the issue? But it was, I didn't, I didn't need it. I didn't need it. I love my Hummer, my electric Hummer. So now I have the vet and the Hummer. I'm not selling.

The Hummer. Because if I got rid of all that and then I only had the Vette, then I'd be in a sticky situation. I'd end up with the old Hummer. Damn, I've owned a lot of Hummers. Oh, yeah. I forgot you had that Hummer. So you technically had nine vehicles if we're counting everything. But what are you going to do about this gravel road situation? Because I'm sure a lot of listeners are country boys as well that live on a gravel road. So Ryan lives on like two miles of gravel. It tore up the paint on your Ram. Yeah. Yeah.

Now that that sails all the way through, I think we can say that. But then the second Ram, the first one, no PPF, was bad. The second one, PPF, and it was fine. The PPF is toasted. Really? So what if you PPF this Corvette? Okay, so I think that's my plan. And you're going to drive it on the gravel. Let's say Olander and I go out on a date night and we go to Fargo.

If we have to drive here, get my car, then drive to Fargo, then drive here, and then go back to the house, she's going to be like, let's just take my car. And then that will be done. So on situations like that, I will drive it down the gravel road home. But I'm not going to take it home every day when I'm only driving four miles and two of its gravel. So if I'm coming from a place, I think I'll just PPF the whole thing and do it.

I have a theory, though, with gravel. So when I was just daily driving my Evo, when I would go to your house, I'd just drive faster because it seemed like it kicked up less rocks. And then you don't get as dusty because you leave it behind you. Yeah, I do that in my car, too. So if you go faster, I mean, it might work out. Or just PPF that thing and rally it. Cut to me, dude, just driving 75 down the gravel road. That would be badass. So many cars I would agree with that exact. PPF it and rally it. Not that one.

I don't know, man. I'd love to see it. That'd be so badass. I think I agree with your theory. Dude, I grew up on a gravel road, and when you're driving a car that you don't care about how dirty, sandy, or whatever it gets, and you don't care about the paint, driving on gravel is awful.

borderline more fun but yeah the interesting thing is when you drive slow on gravel uh with like the trx or the raptors you get the rocks they get stuck in your wheel in your tires easier and then when you get out onto the uh you fling car you fling them and that's where your chips are coming from yeah so again i think if you are going faster but not so fast like ripping that you're spraying it up on yourself i just hate i mean the truck tires has like big knobs that

That grabs more rocks. It does. Corvette doesn't have that. They're a little flat. That's true. You can just run Hoosiers. Those are sticky enough that you'd still grab them. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. I'm pretty excited, but I actually sent all...

of the money to purchase that car like two weeks ago we're going on two weeks on monday i've had all that money out and the shipper just like has dropped the ball on me so it's stuck in texas i was thinking about having uncle rich drive it back and i might do it for the plot just have him hop in that thing he's coming here to he's on like a plane right now you know he send him back when he lands hey yeah you know what go back and pick this car up and drive it with his plane takes off in two hours if you do want to have

do it yeah no i've been talking with him like he's it literally is on the way to the airport and he's like i don't know he was stoked he's like dude i'll do it rich would be so uncomfortable in that thing for 24 hours that's what i was thinking he might he might hate it a lot more than he would smoke so many cigs in that it comes back it's all beat up it smells like cigarettes cigarettes got some nice burns in the carpet yeah there's some ashtray burns in the in the white

Center console. That's so funny. That's going to be sick, though. That dozer that we got, Rich, is coming up tonight. And fresh dozer. Brand new dozer. Couldn't believe it. It's a crazy thing. I think they send that to us because they know it's going to be on video. And like, we have a good relationship with that company. So they're like, let's send a fresh dozer. And I'm always like, no. Not a scratch on the blade. It's so satisfying because those things last for so long. You know, years and years and thousands of hours. So seeing it brand new is interesting. It is.

And, yeah, Rich is like, can't wait to smoke so many cigs inside that thing. However, it doesn't actually smell because the windows and the doors are always open. Yeah. Like, it just goes outside. But, like, man, he smokes like a chimney. So, Rich is on his way up to build a new track for us. Or...

Also known as a curvy driveway. That's the cool part. A lot of people see the dozer asking questions. Yo, you guys got a new track? Rich is coming? New track? And I'm like, yeah, but this track's different. It's going to be a track we've never built before. So it's going at the farm. And I mean, as you guys can kind of imagine what kind of track it is, it's going to involve asphalt. And yeah, it's going to be legit having, like, I mean, we're just adding more and more tracks and

And like... Scenes, basically. Scenes to like... I mean, after this, there's maybe just like two more types of tracks we could build. And then we're kind of got all of it covered. Yeah. What else would you build? What's the other two? Well, drag strip. A proper drag strip. Proper drag strip. Probably an oval track. You're right. Like a circle track. And then...

We'd probably need like an enduro track. So that'd be like three. And then can we build one of those, uh, like those jet boats? You've seen the jet boat racetracks where they have like a carving out and you cut into the earth and fill the water. That would be sick. But yeah, I mean, uh, don't get just tied up on like drift track.

It's going to be so much more than that. It is obviously drifting, but then anything. We take the shifter carts out. We modify a shifter cart and put a toilet on it. Not anything. In just cars, like your Corvette, you could take it out and rip it. I'm sure you'll be sliding it, but also you could probably just literally rip around on it. It's a pretty big...

we were mapping it out and it's going to be a big, big curvy driveway. That's for sure. But we're just trying to make like more areas that we can use that are away from everybody else. We have control over. Yep. Not cheap, not cheap. No, no. Like if in a perfect world we would be concreting it, of course, but yeah, we're trying to take all the precautions, the laying down the gravel, laying down fabric, lay, uh, packing it down, uh,

getting good asphalt just the asphalt alone is going to be 140 000 roughly is what the guy said that's just the track that's just the asphalt not not like the grading not like the the everything like like the gravel and and rich prepping it and all this you know so like probably have close to 200 into it by the time we don't so we're not doing the driveways in this state not yet

We'll see. We're like, nope. The curvy driveway that isn't used as a driveway. Totally valid. It's a driveway. Totally valid. I just figure it's like so many people talking about asphalt. It's like, yeah, once you get them out there, you know, the more you do, it's just getting all that equipment and...

I mean, yeah, maybe we'll end up doing it. We'll see. I think we have enough where it's probably still worth it for them to come out. Yeah, it's for sure. Yeah. Going to be legit though. That's for sure. That's exciting. I'm excited. I'm going to probably go from not sucking to being halfway decent. I know. Well, that was one thing when we were out walking it, like we're trying to estimate, like, of course we're figuring it out as we go. Yeah. And we're like, okay, let's put a turn here and this and that. And,

some of the people were like going kind of narrow with it. I was like, no, like make this thing wide because in one, in one week, Mike and Jake are going to be tandem drifting next to each other. And like, you don't want it to be too narrow where they can't do that. And we're like, Oh shit, we spent all this money and we can't,

it's kind of like it's almost a full drift track but it it's still fun though but like I just don't want it to be like a it's still cool though I want it to just be like it's fucking sick it's like a legit professional drift track I think I'd rather like mess up the turns a little bit like oh this turn could have been a little tighter or this one should have swept out more I would rather have that be the issue than have the track too narrow 100% we don't want it to feel like a golf cart if it's too narrow you're just like I can't even drift this because it's too narrow mhm

Did we bring up Ken's Cybertruck? Briefly. I want to hear your genuine thoughts on it and then us share ours because it blew me away. Picked it up this week. I think it is my most favorite car that I've bought. I'd agree. It's not as fast as my Plaid was. Right. Obviously. It gets so much attention and it rides and drives like nothing else I've ever bought. Dude, honestly, there's not...

Like with your Model Y, there was so much like jokes we could make. The jelly bean. With your X, obviously a hundred times better, but still kind of like it's easy to kind of put a little joke at, you know, it's kind of a... But this thing is honestly, it's so you, but...

But it is so fucking cool. Yeah, it actually is. And the performance, unbelievable. Ken was ripping this fucking thing. I was just eating it all up. And it was like the perfect time of night, too. Sun's going down. And it looked like a video game. I was like, what is this even? It looked like the saturation was just...

cranked up and this thing did not look real but it shreds and it drifts on a rally track so well it even jumps well it handled it better than my bronco day because even the bronco like it makes noises that don't sound good and that thing that just a little air suspension relief yeah that was it i really hope i think it will just show on video really well where like

you know, nothing against your Hummer rhyme, but like it was, it was really cool to watch in person, but on video, it didn't, it didn't really translate because you had no engine noise, but the way Ken was hanging it out and drifting and then throwing so much dirt, dust and everything. Yeah.

So cool. And it's just sick that you, like, I'm not going to say you can't roll it, but, man, is the center of gravity. It got on three wheels. Yeah, but I remember when we were doing it, everyone's like, are we going to roll? Because you were full crank. So, like, in a normal vehicle, and, dude, in anything, in TRX or Raptor or whatever, you would roll, especially in that catchy grass. But anyway, we, like, three-wheeled it a few times. I'm like, we're not even close to rolling because they have such a low center of gravity. But, like, yeah, 7,500 pounds on the air suspension, just insane.

So,

soaking it up. It was crazy. It's amazing though. That thing, like obviously you have a lot of trust in it, but just the outside, you know, being, what is it made of? Aluminum? It's the entire outside is stainless steel. Yeah. So like, I loved how you got out there and didn't give a shit. You were ripping, rocks were hitting it. You didn't care one bit. And then you go and look at it. You can't tell anything because it's just stainless steel. People will like put scratches in them. I think it's, you just take like a scotch brite pad and just

scuff it right back out really yeah you should have alex wash your your car now because she's always cleaning the house and wiping down the fridge and you're supposed to clean it with a barkeeper's friend yeah like stainless steel cleaner yeah and stuff like that have that thing looking like a brand new fridge dude just add it to like the the cleaning routine like when you clean the kitchen and you do that you have the fridge stuff out then just go out in the garage and clean my car

No, it's really cool. And there's something about it when I see the front end coming towards us. I think it kind of looks like you can. It looks like your face kind of. The jokes are never ending, though. I didn't even think this one was that funny. And Dalton takes a picture of the dumpster and goes, kind of the same thing. And I was like, yeah, body line-wise, yeah, I get it. My favorite part about all of it is that we have a lot of funny contraptions that we pull up to Zorba's in or do whatever.

A lot of funny contraptions that we bring out to the few people of Cormorant. That one has people tripping harder than anything. Nobody knows what it is. Yeah, they can't not look at it, whether they know what it is, whether they know a ton about it, not know anything. Like, they're just like...

Driving around in that thing, I get so many weird looks from people. You know what's interesting, Ken? You don't seem like the type of guy to like all the attention that a car would bring. It's kind of weird. The people at the bank this morning, they were like, just the one dude was just taking pictures of my car the entire time. Who do you think likes the most attention for driving vehicles?

Evan, dude, look at his car. Dude, but I'll be real here. He's like where I was like, you're the guy. Look at your car. You drive an El Camino that's donked out. He's like...

let me be clear i didn't do any of that i didn't pick that car i didn't customize it i didn't pick the color i didn't pick the wheels i didn't pick the color of the wheels so there is that but he you're right with the donk still probably does love it when we were dressed up with the pimp costumes at the snowmobile race driving it he was like yeah i mean evan loves attention that's for sure but when it comes to they get the vehicle and they're like hoping for everyone to like notice them driving around

he's not here right now, but I mean, it's kind of obviously Ben, he's got a Lamborghini and then a Raptor with red wheels. Yeah, it's true. I mean, I think he does. I'd say, I'd say I was maybe second, but also like, I'm not, I don't know how much of a debate I make. Like all of my vehicles that I've driven are flashy. They're not really flashy. And most people don't even know what they are.

Like, like if I run into like an old man that actually notices the car and they're like, what kind of car is that? This thing is that fast? I'm like, Oh yeah, yeah, it's pretty fast. And I'm like, who makes that? I'm like, uh, Nissan. And they're just like, Oh, I walk away.

I think the flashiest thing about your GTR is probably the exhaust with how loud it is. Yeah, it's loud. But otherwise, yeah, it's really not a flashy car, and my Ford Raptor is far from flashy. But I do agree. Post Malone drives the same one. You seem like a person that wouldn't like it, but dude, Ken, yellow Bronco, orange Bronco, Cybertruck. That's true. That's true. Bright blue hatchback.

You always got crazy colors. Bright red WRX? I always buy the cars in the press colors. Whatever color the car is where they take off the marketing image. Because it looks the best. And it's like, dude, yeah. It's so much easier to sell a bright colored car as long as it's not trash. Is it? Yeah. Well, I actually read... I didn't know if I agreed with this. There was an article that Motor Trend did or someone that said yellow cars are the easiest to sell. And I was like, no, they're not. I find that so hard to believe. There's something about yellow cars...

that as I get older, I just, it'd be, it's harder and harder for me to want to buy one. Right. Cause it seems almost girly. Like even like a yellow Lamborghini. I'm kind of just like, could you pick between a yellow Huracan or a white or a black? You say yellow car and I automatically go to a yellow Volkswagen Beetle. I don't,

I don't know who would own a yellow car. That's definitely girly. Yeah. I mean, there's no Volkswagen Beetle that's not girly. Theo Vaughn said that. Did someone have a yellow car? I mean, my last Bronco was yellow. Yeah, I was thinking about that. My Subaru's been gone so long that we forgot it's yellow. But that car looks fucking cool. Okay, I have a genuine question. So the car, it got a fresh paint job when I bought it. It's always been yellow, so that means something. It's a little rare.

And it is getting a full repaint again, doing all kinds of stuff to it. The car is getting a full repaint and he's like, what color do you want to do it? And I'm like, no yellow. He's like, are you sure, dude, we can do any color under the sun. I've never had the opportunity to like have a car getting repainted. So I'm like any color. What are you going to do? I don't, I, you're not doing yellow, aren't you? No, I think, well, I'll just be honest. I think I, it needs to be yellow. Yeah. But I've thought about doing like, like,

like a pearl yellow, like nice. I don't know. I don't know what to do. I'm, I'm wondering what you guys' opinions are. If it was white or blue or black or whatever. Yeah. I would just completely screw that. I don't need it. That same stock color, but yellow Subaru. It's such a rare color for that car too. Cause they, they didn't import many into the States. And then now it's like a,

It's not like a true STI, but yeah, I don't know what to do. And the engine bay will stay yellow. I'd probably just stay with the color that it is personally, but it would be cool for the video if you showed up with that crazy color. It's going to be funny because I did so much stuff to it, but I'm still going to pull up and be like, it's going to look relatively... It's still an 03WX, you know? It's cool, though. Yeah, it's cool.

Guys have any bad habits you picked up lately? Yeah. Eating too much. Maybe actually not even like a bad, bad habit, but like something that's a bad habit that actually isn't bad. Like I've started topping off my gas tank for some reason. Really? That seems random. Yeah. It's like a random, bad, it's like a bad thing to do. It's a great example. Like why would you like you're pulling over and just seems like a waste of time. No. Like when I'm at the gas pump and it stops, it's like,

And then I just like keep filling up. And then it goes again. Oh, I love doing that. I think I started on the last road trip when we were getting freaking four miles to the gallon. I was like, this half gallon could be the difference between us getting stuck somewhere. Yeah. So like if, if when it stops, if you let it chill for a minute, two minutes, whatever, and then the bubbles go down, you can fit quite a bit more in there. Especially with diesel. You gotta like pull the, pull the filler out just a little bit. You can fit quite a bit more in there. Yeah. But like,

I thought you meant like you're at like seven ace of a tank and you're like, ah, I don't have anything better to do. I'll swing in and get some gas. That's a bad habit that's not actually bad. My buddy in college used to do that. And like, granted, it was college. We didn't have much money, but like he would go and his car was always on E, but it was like a thing that he would go to the gas station every day and put 10 bucks in. And he made plenty of money to just fill up the tank in his car, but he would always just put like,

10 bucks in, 20 bucks in, never would fill it up. We'd be like, dude, you're wasting so much time. He's like, I don't know, I'm going to go to the gas station. I suppose I've done that before only because I wanted a car wash and I wanted to get the car wash a little cheaper if you buy gas. So you put in like a couple gallons of gas and you get like three bucks off the car wash. That's one thing I've always wished on someone, like if I wish someone very well, I...

very well to me means i wish that when you go to the gas pump you fill it full you fill you never have any reason not to fill it all the way up no matter what price that gas is yeah that to me is like you're doing well like it's always it genuinely is it's tough going to the gas station putting on 15 bucks um you know because that's all you got you know and when i was in high school working like that's how it was like you never i didn't ever fill my gas tank all the way full

It was just like whatever I had on me, whatever I made in tips from delivering pizzas, like that's what I was putting on gas. Well, it's because you were a cash guy, so you had your like 25 bucks. Or you'd save, yeah, because you're kind of like, oh, we're going out to eat tonight with the boy, so I need to save like this 30 bucks for... Maybe I want to park my car and we could ride together or something. I forget about that. Remember that? Like just ride sharing and shit. Yeah, just because you didn't want to use your, you know... And like me and my friends, sometimes it would be like...

I drove last time, so I'm not driving this time because you were like, do you know how much gas I'm wasting? Yeah. I don't even remember the last time I thought about wasting gas. It's a beautiful thing. We're constantly running shit around here, which it is. You look at the boat. Yeah. Cripes.

The boat burns like fucking six gallons an hour. That's another, that's a math thing that I don't like doing. Oh, yeah. Boat gas. I mean, you were the first one. We went out on your boat all the time and didn't help out much. And you're like, yeah, dude, it's when you say, oh, yeah, it's not free to run the boat. That's a horrible statement because it's the opposite from free, you know? Yeah. It's like astronomical. I don't know if I ever said this, but like when you bought a boat, CJ, I was amazed.

So excited because there's a saying, you know, you're the best day of boat ownerships when you buy it, when you sell it. And then you're all like, I know we have talked about this a little bit when you're like, we need a boat, we need a boat. And I'm like, dude, I don't, I'm not trying to pay one third between all of us. I just like, I'm not into it. I think we'll be chill. I got a jet ski, whatever.

And then you just go and buy a boat. And I was like, let's go. Yeah. Fuck yeah. I don't have to. Yeah. Like I didn't have to, probably should have helped you at least detail it. But I remember like I chipped in for a gas a few times and that's it. Oh, thank you. That's it. Like, you know, like literally two times over the whole summer. And then, and you're, you're having a deal with cleaning it and gassing it up. Yeah. Boats aren't cheap, man. That's for sure. And selling it was a nightmare too. You sold that to your dad. Lost a lot of money on it. I sold it to my dad. I still lost a lot of money on it. Because you gave him the homie hookup. You and those guys. Yeah.

You almost got scammed trying to sell that thing, too. I don't know. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, I probably could have got more for it, but he liked it, so I gave him a good deal. Yeah, that's nice of you. I wonder if FOMO is more of a new thing because you go back way before social media. Or has it gotten worse? 100%. FOMO was really never a thing because you never saw what anyone else was doing. So you don't know if they're having a good time or a bad time, so you're just kind of living in the present with whatever you're doing, not –

constantly seeing what everyone else is doing. FOMO wasn't, it wasn't happening currently. It would only happen if I caught back up with you guys on Monday. Oh man, Friday was just insane. Yeah. Then you got FOMO, but you're right. It's already done. So you're not having any, you're not like sitting there like, oh shit, I should be here right now. Cause you're just, you're not getting those live Snapchats of, oh, these people are doing this at this place. And the other thing too, like even going back to last night,

It was a pretty chill night in the boat. We cruised around. We jumped in the water. It was cold. Like pretty nice. But if you looked at Alex's story, there's like three stories. Us jumping in the water going like, ah, hooting and hollering, Dalton dancing to loud music. Yeah, you think it was just a fucking wild time. That looked crazy. It was such a crazy Friday night. I'm like, no, it was actually fairly chill. So you're seeing the highlight of the night.

Yeah. With everybody. That's with everything though. I mean, no one's going to show you the boring shit. Yeah. You know? Yeah, exactly. That's not fun to watch. I think that's why stories used to be so good. And I'm talking not Snapchat, Instagram stories. I'm talking real stories because then you'd almost be- You know how to verify it, dude? Hearing, yeah, well, dude, yeah, you can exaggerate as much as you want. Man, Ben would love living in the 80s. Yeah.

but, uh, you can come to the, your buddies at work on Monday and tell them a story and they're actually interested. They're not like, Oh dude, I saw that. That looks so fun. They're like, what happened next? What happened next? That's what I mean, dude, Evan loves just getting, just getting in a, just, yeah, I don't even know. Getting wild something and then making a story and then telling, telling it to everyone. He's a great storyteller. Just,

just most of them we can't tell you guys yeah like i always i do always enjoy when he comes uh back back out here on monday and you know he comes rolling in all hung over and then we go well what happened this weekend and then he's got this you know 20 minute story of like this whole thing and it's always entertaining no god damn we should have a camera down there man that i think that is a good point circling back to what you said fomo when

When you're seeing stories, it shouldn't be as real as maybe it feels for you. Same for, I was talking to this guy at a grad party, and he's like, oh, yeah, I see your Snapchat sometimes. You guys are just always having fun, always having fun. We've said this before. No, we're not. I think it's cool that people think that, but, I mean, of course, we're not going to post the boring shit. I'm not going to post, like, snaps while I'm, like, in my office.

You know, here and there. But then as soon as I make that look fun, I might run downstairs because Evan started up the trials bike, grab a clip of them, run back up to my office. Then it looks like I'm playing all day. Even football or like golf. Yeah, they get paid a lot of money. But like the stress, everything like there's no one gets paid to play all day. Did you guys see that Scotty Scheffler, the number one golfer in the world? Yeah, that's got arrested. Yeah. So what was the deal with that? Before a tournament.

Dude, he's going to the tournament. I look, it's arrested. So there was like a car accident and like, he didn't know that some kind of police officer was trying to direct traffic and he was trying to get into the golf club and they were letting other golfers go by. They were supposed to the golfers. So then he basically, you know, drives past and this cop, like I think it's, it's always had like 30 yards or something. And this cop like grabs onto his car, tries to get in and then like arrest him essentially. Yeah.

So the cop was over the top. And now he's getting in trouble? That's bullshit, dude. Because he didn't know who he was. Yeah. I think there's a bunch of different stories, of course. I'm sure it'll come out as it goes. But there are stories that the cop...

It was in the verbiage that the cop attached himself to the vehicle. Like he grabbed onto the car and it's dark and raining. So he like kept driving, probably not knowing that the cop was attached to his car. So then he got like fleeing. Oh my God. Yeah. It is funny. They've been interviewing them. They're like,

when did you know that you were going to make your tea time? And he's like, when they came out and let me out of jail. He's like, you're sitting there. It's not like I have my phone. You're like, someone tell me what's going on. I'm sitting in a jail cell. And then someone came in. They're like, all right, you're good to go. So is he still jammed up? Or does he have to deal with legal consequences? I think he was out the same day. But is it dropped? No, I'm sure he's probably. He's still charged as of right now with the things. I agree he probably is. But he's chilling. He's going to be chilling.

He's not playing very well, dude. He's tied for 28th. Perch is 20 million bucks, dude. 20 million bucks. Well, he can blame it on the cop then. Can you imagine, dude? Put him in the wrong mindset. Yeah, one time...

Just got to find the first person to blame. One time when I was, like, first driving, and I had my license at, like, 14 and a half. Because back then you could get your license really young. Anyways, I'm driving down this road, and there's, like, this big stop, you know, whatever. And there's police officers, this guy out guiding traffic. And I didn't quite understand where he was directing me. So I just...

Which apparently was the wrong way. And he was like. Starts pounding on my back. What the fuck are you doing? I'm like. I don't know where you're going. I'm just like this young kid. That made me think of it though. But yeah. Dude just started going ballistic. Like hitting the freaking jeep. And I was like. Bro. What are you doing? But then I was all scared. I didn't know.

I had to do like a three point turn to get out of there. Oh man. Well dude, some cops or people of authority will wonder how people can be so stupid, but sometimes people are so intimidated or whatever, but let's just use the word intimidated by cops that they're not thinking straight. You start not thinking straight. Yeah. Cause now you got this dude like breathing down your neck. Like you're trying to pay attention to them. So you're not paying attention. You're trying not to do something wrong. And then dude, and even, I mean, I surprised myself with my own stupidity daily.

Honestly, like sometimes I'll just go like, damn, I can't believe I'm that dumb. I did normally a generally small mistake, but it happens. Who do you think is worst driver? 15-year-old kid who just got his license or a 75, 80-year-old man? Baby.

75 like who's more of a danger out on the road an old person it depends it depends because some of these kids are driving really recklessly like you're driving really recklessly and fast you're actually more of a hazard i'd say but i think across the board i'm sure obviously like the 75 year old could get in many more accidents but they're going so goddamn slow it's like it's just a little fender bender whereas like you got a kid speeding around ripping

I had a couple close calls when I was young, like 17, 18. You're driving fast and like...

You get just lucky. Yeah, the thing that I would describe as luck. I got lucky multiple times. I remember driving my TC in a snowstorm down the downer road, which is like a country highway. And it was full-blown snowstorm, multiple inches of snow on the road. And I was late for basketball practice. I was driving like 90 because heaven forbid I'm late for crushers. And I was thinking about it. I go, if I did that right now in my truck...

There's no way I'd make it. And I was like, the only thing that got me through that was my mother's worrying about me and some luck, dude. Like,

dude. Like there's no way I could do it again. I just remember like doing like really tight. Like I'd be like trying to beat like a, like maybe the right lane ends. And then like, I'd end up like literally cutting over within inches of cars. Like it could have been so bad. I did that a couple of times. How stupid was I? And then just like driving too fast at night. Like just can't see shit. And which ended up not working out very well for me. I ended up piling up that WRX.

Yeah. So stupid. So I don't know. It depends if you have a dumb ass kid that wants to roll the dice, which I think there's a lot of them and I do not recommend doing. It's not worth it. Yeah. As a man who's rolled the dice, it's not worth it. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you sometimes win and other times you lose. Getting older and smarter isn't, it's a good thing. Generally. I think I'm probably, I'm for sure safer than I was and I make better decisions, but

But also sometimes I look back at like even Alex sent a picture of me at your 24th birthday or video. I'm standing on the desk hooting and hollering. I go, man, that looks fun. I look fun then. I wish I could do that again. But if I did that tonight, you guys would be like, dude, what's wrong? I'd like to see that.

I'd like to see that. I maybe could do it. You know who still lives life that way? Our buddy Evan. Evan and Jake, dude, they're just maniacs. To the core. They're the epitome of never growing up. I just love...

On Thursday night Evan is super hungover On all day Thursday Because he was drinking Wednesday night I don't know if I'm saying too much But anyways He was having a good time He was just hanging with the boys And then he You know Thursday rolls around Video drops I see him He's like I've been feeling like shit All day I'm not drinking tonight All this You guys are like Alright let's go to Zorba He's like yeah I'm coming But I'm not drinking Four hours later I get a picture sent to me Evan standing on the sign The sign's like

12, 14 feet up from the ground. And he's standing on a little two by four up there flicking off the camera. I'm like, Oh, not drinking, huh? But like, it always happens too. Cause we're smart or just,

however you want to look at it. We're in bed. We're in bed sleeping. I wake up to it at 7 a.m. because I can't fucking sleep anymore through the night. And I wake up and I go, damn, looks like Evan had a crazy night. To be fair, though, Evan's older than all of us. That's true. It's just your own doing, Ryan. You don't got to be lame. You just choose to be. I think that's the hardest thing to hear. That's true. That's not just directed at you. It's not. It could be me too as well.

Very whammy. Alex, your girlfriend had the snap of our filmer Dalton who is, he's dancing on the boat and you said, oh, to be young and full of energy. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I was like, wait a second.

You got to meet my friend, Jeff. Yeah. He's older than all of us. He dances just like that. And then I thought about Jeff and I was like, yep, you just got to be, if you want to be it, you got to be a Jeff. Also he comes naturally. He's a good dancer and he is full of energy weirdly and full of confidence, but you can dance on tables at 30, 30,

It's just maybe more frowned upon. You can do whatever you want. That's the crazy part. But yeah, it hurts more to hear like, you can do whatever you want. You're just lame now. I know it does. Like, I could very well go do that. But I don't know why I don't. Because I'm lame. I'm just fucking lame now. I don't want to be hung over on Thursday morning. And that's a big one. Not being hung over is a powerful thing. You need that sometimes. Some days. You know what? Frick it.

Let's turn the page tonight. Let's get wild. We're going to go get wild. All right, Ryan. We'll get a picture of you standing on top of the Zorba sign. You can wear the shirt. Yes. Don't grow up. It's a trap. I don't know what you're... Dude, if we got a picture of you on the Zorba sign tonight, that would cherry the top of this podcast. I can't imagine Ryan up so high. I don't think I... It would be unsafe. It would be unsafe. Keep in mind, there's no ladder. Evan climbed that shit like a monkey. How did he get up there? Like a monkey. He literally, like, on the beam, he's like, I can get up there and...

and like no help, no nothing. Just climbed up there. Did he just jump down or what did he do? The power of Red Bull. Yeah, he swung his way down into the swamp. Dude, also there was like 30,000 bugs flying around the lights that were illuminating the... Yeah, he threw up. He said after. Yeah, they like flew into his mouth, his eyes, his sweatshirt, everything. I think when I drove home that night, they looked like clouds. All right, fellas. Thanks for watching and listening. Peace out. We'll see you next week.

Rusty Clark, an Army and Air Force veteran, needed treatment at a VA hospital.

Meet his wife, Juanita. We live above Borgentown, West Virginia. It would take us about seven hours to get here. And I was prepared to sleep on the hospital floor beside of Mr. Clark. But the Fisher House opened up that door. We had a lovely suite to stay in. We had food to eat. We didn't have to worry about that because the Fisher House, the foundation, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher took care of all that years ago, following their dream to make our reality that we were together and

we could be treated here. It's a great blessing. Meet Rusty. I was in the Army Guard, and then I went into the Air Force, and then I met Juanita. Keeping families together when they need it most. For active-duty military wounded and veterans sick or injured, Fisher Houses make a huge difference. Learn more at fisherhouse.org. That's fisherhouse.org. Because of family's love. It's good medicine.
