Super cool to the homeless. One of my buddies just turned 25 and that's when they say your brain stopped developing. I got one more year, baby. I got one more year. One more year to not get stupid. Public schools are getting a little crazy. So yeah, I mean, we might have to build our own. The girl had puppies. So inbred puppies. Everyone down south is like, what's wrong with that?

What was up with that little dog with the hat? That was pretty cute. I don't know what was up with him. I think he was just there. He disappeared. He was just in his own world. That was pretty cute, though. I'm talking about the little dog he was holding that was wearing a flat brim hat. This dog? Yeah, that one. Yeah, that dog's cool, man. It's not really my taste in dogs, but the fact that she was wearing a flat brim hat, I was kind of like, all right, that's nice. I like that. Yeah, it was a look.

It was pretty cute, though. There was two little French bulldogs running around, and one was brown, and he looked like a chicken nugget. And I go, look at this little chicken nugget. And right when I said that, he ran around the corner, and my buddy, who I was standing there talking to, looks at the ground and goes, what chicken nugget? Ha ha ha!

Imagine there was actually a chicken nugget. He's like, what's someone doing with a chicken nugget on the ground? This one other dude was tripping about those dogs. Could not shut up about how French Bulldogs are expensive. Oh, look at this. Five grand and dogs right there. Five grand. I probably want 2,500 a piece. This guy's got five grand worth of dogs. I'm like, why are you talking about it like that? Yeah.

It is strange that... He picks up 2,500. You know Scott, our buddy Scott? He has those two boxers. Yeah. They're brother and sister. He just got them last year. Now they're probably... They've got to be one year old. They had babies together. What? Inbred dogs. Kind of weird. Yeah. He didn't purposely do it, obviously, but... Wait, they were just slamming? He must not have been watching, and they were doing the dirty, and...

uh the girl had puppies so inbred puppies are they cute uh i haven't seen them yet but i mean you know obviously he was like fuck like this isn't good he goes over he brought it to the vet and i guess it's more common than you'd think and he said like oh they'll be fine but so apparently they look they look cute and like there's nothing wrong with them at least that you can tell from looking at them they might be a little stupid but we'll have to just wait and find out but we got to go over there and check those dogs out kind of cute everyone down south is like what's wrong with that yeah

From what I hear, though, that the first time it happens, it is, for the most part, all right. The second time it happens, it ain't all right. Yeah, I think that's what the veterinarian said.

Scott couldn't take care of two dogs and keep them from smashing. Now he's got nine. He's got nine. My God. Yeah. What is he going to do with that? I'm sure he's going to sell them. Probably sell them. You got to tell people though. You got to say these are inbred. Really? I really wouldn't want to buy an inbred dog. No, no, no. They're not inbred. They're purebred. Yeah.

I guess it depends how you look at it. No, I don't. No, Scott's not going to be selling them. He's going to be paying people to take them. I don't think so. I think he'll be selling them. I'm sure you can sell them. Did that guy that was all hyped up on how expensive the other dogs are, he's going, look at this.

15 grand in puppies right here. Look at this. 2,500 for the run. He's like, two grand, four. He's like adding up. Finds out that the dog came from the shelter and he's just like, what's it, worthless pretty much? So this is what? You just paid the adoption fee? This is a $150 dog.

$150 dog right here. My buddy, he went to the store and bought a real dog, you know? One that was real expensive, not a knockoff. That's really funny. But I feel like all dogs are expensive nowadays. Yeah. Like, I mean, obviously you can get normal dogs, but even like if you wanted a golden retriever, I think it would cost you like... Yeah, it's funny how certain dogs are like a status flex. They are. What's another status flex animal?

A tiger? I'd say a zebra. A tiger probably is the peak. I'd say, yeah. A monkey. That's a big flex. No, so I don't think you can get a monkey. Anymore. Anymore. Well, so for a while there, I was trying to get a monkey because I thought it'd be a really funny bit to put a monkey in Ken's office. And I'm only saying this because I can't do it. Yeah. So I thought it'd be... So I was looking... It'd be like you'd have to take care of him for the...

So like fully turning your office into a rainforest is what I envisioned. And then like getting a full blown monkey. So you like show up. Ken's right. You like walk, walk into your office and,

And it's like a bunch of nature. And then you got a monkey there. And we're like, we bought you a monkey. What do you do with it after the bit's done? That's where we would never tell you that it was a joke. So you would just think that this monkey was yours now. Because back in the day, back when you could do these things to you, Ken, and you'd have a genuine reaction. You'd be like, oh, good. I don't want to take care of this monkey. But the next shot is you driving your Tesla with the monkey in the front seat. Yeah.

So I was feeding it and it's like next thing you know, you're living life. It just always happened with you. Wait, the monkey could drive the Tesla and Ken could sit in the passenger seat and scroll. Yeah. You just put it. Now, now he might be down for it. Well, so I was trying to find the monkey and then I reached out to a couple of people that had monkeys and,

I don't really know if these people had monkeys that were like for rent, but I was like, okay, here's my idea. Can we use this? And they're like, that's inhumane or whatever. Like they, like people with monkeys are like, it's a different room. Well, they're like, uh, I, I can't leave the monkey alone. Like it could be uncomfortable without me in the area or without me in its presence or something like that. Yeah.

Well, then, yeah, hide them. Blend them into the wall. Yeah, but, I mean, it would be a bad day if the monkey went rogue and, like, pulled Ken's scalp off. Oh, yeah, that's what they can do. Monkeys are crazy. Like, you don't want to mess with them. I've been thinking of other options, and I've got some other good ones. So maybe I did just show too many cards. But the nice part about Ken is he's three steps behind. Why is there an aardvark in my office?

You could get an anteater for all the ants in the kitchen. Yeah. Man, I was at the zoo the other day with my nieces. Such a good uncle. Crazy, actually. Literally down the road, 10 minutes, there's like a full-on zoo that has camels, zebras, marmots.

monkeys and bears bears there was black bears in there how'd you feel about that though because i always drive by in the winter and i'm like i just feel terrible for the animals because they're just out in the elements and it's fucking freezing and you got camel sitting there it's like the camel's supposed to be in the desert not in the frozen tundra of minnesota and negative 30 degree weather yeah i was i was wondering that how'd they look did they look sad and like kind of messed up or

Well, you ever gone to a zoo where an animal looks happy? I mean, I'm wondering if these ones look worse than normal. Like, I honestly, yeah, I don't know. I drive by and I sometimes wonder, how is that place still open? I was most mind blown that this zoo is down the road and I didn't know about it. How many of you have never seen that? I don't know. That's the thing. It's just like kind of just right there and I'm always... Where is it? Okay, thank you. So when you're on the way to Spanky's and you're going through the curves, it's right on the left.

You'll just see it. There's little cages in the open. I didn't know it existed. It's basically a farm, but they have quite a few... I don't know if you'd say exotic, but they were definitely exotic to Minnesota animals there. I was wondering the same thing. I was like, what do they do with these

These guys in the winter. They're outside, bro. Camels? Yeah. Camels are. I'm pretty sure they're outside. What's like a typical environment? Fucking probably 120 degrees. Egypt, Saudi, the Middle East. I get that. I get that. But is there any camels in the Arctic? Not naturally. Arctic camels. I don't know. I need to go over there and check it out. Oh, no. They're fine from 120 to minus 20.

Oh, okay, cool then. The desert does get really cold. The desert does get really cold at night, but I don't know. It's tough for me to look at. I guess I'm not necessarily a huge fan of that. Yeah, I was walking around, so you could get a little pail of food, and then you walk around, and then you can get some carrots, and you feed the camels the carrots, and then you feed the goats the pail food. And yeah, my nieces were just like,

like putting it in their hands and just like shoving it up into these animals like faces. And I was like, I was getting protected. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And my brother and his wife were like, it's fine. It's fine. Apparently when you have kids, you go to zoos a lot. So this is just another day for them. But I was like, I was like the hover uncle. I was like keeping them all in line and stuff. I mean, I get what you're saying. Like beating a horse. I'm like, they're always like open palm, open palm. Cause you know, if they're,

Little yappers get a hold of your skin. Whenever I'm around a little kid, I feel like I'm very protective of it. I'm worried it's going to fall over. Just something, it could hit something, knock its head, anything. There's so many things, but parents are always so laid back about it. It's weird because I hang around you guys who do pretty dangerous stuff.

On the daily. Like, I'm exposed to dangerous stuff on the daily, but then I go over to Alex's parents and her sister's there with their little kids, and it's like, I'm like, whoa, whoa, watch the table. You know, I'm like, so it is interesting. I feel like they probably were that way, and then now the kid is five, and they've had five years of trying to protect him. He's like, it's just going to do its thing. Kids are rubber, dude. They fall all the time. Yeah, they are. That's what they keep saying. Yeah, I actually haven't held my nephew yet, and he's, I think, four months. It is a little nerve-wracking.

I don't provide any value by holding this baby to him. It's a little uncomfortable for me because I don't want to be worried. What happens if I fucking trip? What happens if I trip? What happens if I get lightheaded and I pass out? You never know. You had too many beers or something like that. I'm the same way. I got to get situated in a sturdy chair, maybe some cushions around it. I'm like, all right, I think I'm ready for it. Not even planning on standing up. I'll sit there and then when it's time,

You take them. That's so funny. I was just like, I don't know why I was just so stoked about this the other day, but drunk proof in the shop, kind of baby proof in the shop, but the sauna has like the sharpest tin metal roof on it. So sharp. I mean, like sharp as a knife. So if you fell into that, you know, someone's getting layered up and they caught their arm or their head on that, it would like tear your skin completely off. Yeah. So I put, I grabbed your, your trim from your fender flares and,

and put it on there. Really? Nice. It looks nice, too. Now if you ran into it, you'd be totally fine. But before, it would be bad. What about my fender flares? Well, they're really fine. You sold the dang car. Imagine. You took it off. Drunk proofing the shop. One time I was pretty larried up and I was sitting in the shop. I was looking at the walls and I was just like, man, what if there was an electrical fire right now and it started the inside of the walls on fire? You know?

Oh, like the insulation? You sure you were just on the beer? If that happens, you just got to walk out. Well, then I go, hold on now. If the inside of the walls start on fire and tin is on the outside, I feel like we need to have some impact drills to take all the screws out of the tin so you can quick put it out. So I walked around. I put some impact drills around the shop.

the next day i came over i was like what's up with all these impact drills later on yeah but it is a valid point i hate to also uh kill your kill your thought process but all the electrical in this building is on the outside of the walls that's good man feel a lot better thank goodness dude you can sleep at night just burn around the shop so speaking of getting a little larried up um

so yesterday my grandpa was in town so he called me oh man and was like what are you doing yeah i was like nothing i'm just pulling up to the shop and he's like sweet i'm here i was like perfect let's hang out so we go and get lunch and i was like well what's your plan for the rest of the day he was like nothing i'm just hanging out it was uh my sister's bridal shower so my grandma was all all jammed up with that

So he was just, he was just along for the ride. So I brought him out to Ryan's place and, uh, we took him out on the pontoon with us. Dude put down some drinks. He was on the Modelo's. He was on the Modelo's dude. And next thing I know, he's got all of our girlfriends up on the top of our buddy, Mark's pontoon. It's a double decker. And he's got all of our girlfriends up there and they're all dancing. And he's like, he's like swing dancing. He's like, uh, what, what was he playing? Janet, Janet, uh,

He had some, that's why the music switched up. Yeah. He had some artists that was like, once we get this artist going, like everyone's going to be dancing in it. And it was, it was true. Yeah. Yeah. He, so he was up there swing dancing with them and they loved it and he loved it. I bet. And he was, so we bring them home, bring them back to grandma. Cause my grandma's calling. She was like, where's grandpa Ron? I was sitting upstairs and I watched Sam get a call and Sam eventually had gotten forced a beer. My brother was your brother. Yeah.

was sent to come and pick up Ron. And they're sitting up on the top deck. Ron's about halfway through this beer, and he's already got a fresh one in this hand. And then Sam's got his own beer, and Grandma calls, and I can kind of hear him, you know, like, when will you be home, stuff like that. And he goes...

He looks at the beer and turns it and he goes, I don't think we'll be home for a while. Yeah. They go, well, just make sure grandpa's behaving himself and you guys are taking care of him and watching after him. And we're like, yeah, of course. Well, next thing we know, he's got all the girls up there dancing, shotgun and beers. That means he's having a great time. Got an eye on him. Yeah. Yeah. No, he was he was loving it. He's behaving normal.

Yeah, so how'd it go when he got home? I was curious how he was going to get home. I wasn't there, but my mom was like, yeah, Grandpa was over on the boat with all of them, and Grandma doesn't really drive much. And so the whole point of him driving her to the baby shower is so he could drive her there and drive her home. And then he went and got all drunk. So I was like, I was almost wondering if I was going to have to drive him home, but I mean, it never happened. So apparently he got him home. Sam brought him home. Oh, Sam did? Perfect. Yeah, so he was like...

We're doing, you know, we're having a time. And he's like, hey, don't be telling grandma about this when he's up there dancing and everything. First thing he does when we get home, grandma, you won't believe this. Start showing her videos of dancing and all the girls. And grandma's just rolling her eyes. I was going to say, that's good. Because otherwise we would have just.

Done them dirty? Yeah. Done them all dirty. My favorite little Easter egg from yesterday was Grandpa Ron. So we're cruising around. It's very busy on the lake, so you can't just pee off the side. He's in slacks. He's in full-blown pleated slacks. So he's peeing into a bottle at the back where no one could see him. But I was still surprised. What? In a bottle? I was still surprised. Well, we were at the sandbar. Yeah, a lot of people around. So he's just right in the corner peeing into a bottle. And, you know, after he gets done, obviously dumps it in the lake. This is interesting, but...

whatever strange concept it turns around so keep in mind that he got rid of the the pee but he turns around runs into a buddy trying to sneak past him drops the can you know some some stuff makes it onto the floor and he's just like picks it up like looks around just just me and Sid were the only ones who saw him and I'm like grandpa you just dropped your pee bottle

Man, Caperon is a riot, though. Yeah, he's the life of the party. Yeah, he's the life of the party. He's got his finger on the pulse. You've got to give him credit. Yeah, it was fun. It was dialed 81. Yeah, it's pretty crazy.

That we can have like our, my grandpa, CJ's grandpa, he's 81, like we said. And I don't even think twice about bringing him along on anything that we do. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Cause I mean, well, both Mike and I like,

My grandparents are in the... Granted, they're like 90-something, but they're both in the nursing home, you know? Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It's different. My grandpa's 85, and, like, I mean, it looks like grandpa's on 70 compared to... Yeah, yeah, he's pretty... They're pretty in tune and dialed. Like, I was talking to my parents about that last night. I was like, it's amazing how, like, they can just get around and do pretty much anything at their age still. Maybe you guys are right. Maybe I should start taking care of myself. Seems like it might pay off later. Yeah, I think about that quite a bit, especially lately. Man, I've been...

I've been so sore from our recent endeavors. And I'm like, man, this is really starting to add up. I think as we get older, we'll continue. We'll maybe get more and more serious with like taking care of ourselves as you age. Gradually you will take it more and more serious. And then like eventually, I mean, who knows? Maybe we'll be like this forever, but like 40, 50, you're like, ah, I don't need to go on.

and do certain things like that. And then you'll, you know, be doing more things. And then, I don't know. I think we could have the possibility of living to like over a hundred with technology and like the knowledge of everything nowadays. Like healthcare is just way more advanced than it has ever been.

obviously been in the past. I do agree. I mean, think about how rapidly technology is advancing. Yeah. And the more they know about the body and everything. Dude, I tell you what, though, I have been jammed up this week. Mine fell down. Yeah, I fell down. I was getting off the boat, and I'd had like two Tonys, and the dock was kind of moving, and the boat was going up,

And I just completely miscalculated the distance from the boat to the dock and just fell right between the dock and the bullet and smoked my hip so fricking hard, dude. I think I fell the perfect way. Cause I could have fell, hit my face, you know, cut up my arms on the dock or something like that. And basically I got, I was a little bruise on my hip, but dude, so bad. And then like, I'm a side sleeper. So I was trying to sleep on my side, but it hurt. So I, my sleep, I rolled over. So my hips were flat, but my neck was sideways. Oh,

Woke up, couldn't even move my neck. I was like, I'm falling apart, dude. All jammed up. So you guys might live to be 100. I'll be freaking... What happened to Ryan? Oh, yeah, he's a side sleeper, but he slept with his neck the wrong way. Yeah, I'm at the point where if I sleep wrong, I can't even move. You guys want to live forever? Well, I mean, yeah. Can I stay at, like, my relative ability and health and all that? Then, yes. That'd be great. I'd say you, like, bottom out at Grandpa Ron. But, like...

I mean, yeah, I guess. Grandpa Ron gets around just fine. I wouldn't mind that then. But yeah, I mean, if you're like living forever and then you're getting all old and you can't do anything, then it's like there's no point. That's true. I definitely agree. You wouldn't want to be sitting around like waiting. If you're in good health, yes. Yeah. Do you think there's a perfect age? I feel like you live your life in sections. I think at 30. 25, yeah. I think at 30, they say you're done.

done building like a certain amount of like muscle and skill and your brain is like i don't i'm pretty sure i don't quote me but i'm pretty sure i've heard that multiple times one of my buddies just turned 25 and that's when they say your brain stopped developing and so someone said that he goes shit this is as good as it gets but i mean i got one more year baby i got one more year one more year to not get stupid yeah you got a long ways to go ben if you want to catch up i got it

That seems like a good movie preface. It seems like kind of something you would regret. So it's like if they offer you, you get to live forever, let's say at 25 or 30, you get to live forever, and you're like, sick. I want to do that. But you can't take it back. The only way that you get to die is if the entire world ends, which who knows, could happen. But you don't get to take it back. You have to live forever. After, let's say, picturing if this is a movie plot, 300 years, you're like, damn.

Like a vampire. I got to figure out a way to break this curse. Essentially. It would feel like a curse after long enough. And then you're responsible for the end of the world. Yeah. Wow. That'd be a great movie. That'd be a great movie. And then.

And then you try to end the world and then there's a second character that's trying to stop you. Yeah. And they're like, we can live together. Like, I also am living forever. Wait, there's a writer's strike right now. We can't give this up. It'd be a weird plot because, like, you'd be starting with almost the antagonist of the film. Yeah. And then... Oh, my God. You guys, that's a great... Man. It really is. That's a great movie. And then it switches over and, like, you were with... The viewer was with the antagonist and now all of a sudden they're against him. They have the same, you know, their same age and...

same situation, but they're living two completely different ways. One's trying to end it, but one's trying to like live that way forever. And they're like battling against each other. I think the one that's Mary. Yeah. Yeah. The one that's trying to live forever also went through the whole, I hate this. I don't want to live forever. But then they got past it and they're like, I understand that I have to, to keep peace. I originally, when I thought of this idea or we started thinking about it, I was picturing a more of like a freaky Friday, you know, like,

Type of vibe, you know, kind of cute and quirky and has like a nice happy ending. And now we went straight to like Marvel Black Mirror. Yeah, I almost picture like the very end of that movie just being like the whole universe from like space view. And you just see like...

It just goes like black. It's one of those movies you sit and watch and just stare at the credits after it ends because you're trying to process it. Yeah, mind-blowing. Yeah, I've actually been meaning to watch a good movie in theaters lately. I do kind of want to go to Oppenheimer. Might even go to Barbie. Yeah, I want to see both those. I'd see both. But it's crazy how like... Why did you guys double movie date today? A little matinee action after this? Movie theaters are almost, well, I shouldn't say like coming back in style. I think they're coming back.

At least for this last week with the Barbie Oppenheimer thing, it was such a social movement. And when there's such a wave...

you know, it's crazy how the masses are just like, Oh yeah, no movie theaters are cool again. Like movie theaters are back in. It was like record breaking, uh, box numbers. They got people talking again. That's the thing, you know, I think that was the biggest thing. Sometimes I just saw an ad for a movie though. And it, it looks like one that I kind of like want to see, but not really. And it's like only in theaters. And I did kind of go, Oh,

Was this on Hulu? They always say that, though. No, and then somebody picks it up. In a couple years, yeah. Like Bert Kreisler's... Oh, I need to see that, too. Yeah. Bert Kreisler. Bert Kreisler. I fucked that up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But his movie, The Machine, was like only in theaters, only in theaters. That's why it went on that whole podcast run. And I just got... I think it was...

Amazon Prime. It popped up like the machine was only in theaters. Did you watch it? No, I haven't yet. I'm very excited to watch that. Now it's available for rent for $39.99. Is it? Movies are kind of coming back. Dude, YouTube has free movies that you can watch with ads. For some reason, YouTube's free movies just...

just kind of hit. They do. So it'll serve me hot rod. It's my favorite movie. Love that. It'll serve me just like some classics from like the early 2000s and you watch them and you watch a couple ads just like a YouTube video. It's not bad. Straight up. That's pretty damn smart of like whoever owns that

Put it on YouTube and get served the ads. And like, holy fuck, if it's a two hour long movie, you're going to have so many ads in there probably. And did you just watch the big short? I did. Okay. I was wondering why that was getting recommended in our, in our YouTube. Well, I was like, I was like, what kind of bootleg big short movie is this? Cause I didn't know that that was a thing now, but yeah, it was like two, two and a half hour long movie. Yeah. And usually when you see that on YouTube, it's usually just bootleg.

Dude, that movie is so freaking good. Except for, I don't know if we'll talk about it in more detail, but we just bought property. And the night before, I was watching the big short where the entire real estate market crashes. And I was a little bit cynical walking around. I was like, literally, literally.

Our real estate. It's real estate. You can never lose. And that's exactly what they said in the movie. Like the real estate ladies driving around. They're like, yeah, well, you know, we're just in a little gully. You'll make your money back. This is a big time. You should be buying. You should be buying. And then everybody lost their houses and jobs. Lost the farm. Lost the farm. It is interesting because there is kind of like this whole...

At least it seems like everyone forgot about 2008. But real estate, can't go wrong with real estate. Even if you overpay, it'll catch up eventually. That seems to be literally what everyone tells me. And for a long time, it has been true. And I think a lot of people that live rurally probably can also experience... I feel like...

Let's say Florida goes like this. They're doing 40% jumps either way. They lose a ton or make time. But if you have like farmland or you have lakes or you're from a smaller town, it might go up and then it might go down. When like the whole world crashes, you go down a little bit. And then it's insulated. Yeah, exactly. It's insulated. I guess the thing that I try and look at, we are in such a different

where most people can't justify looking at a property that we just bought and making sense of it because it would just be for leisure or dead space, whereas us, we can squeeze every little bit out of every inch of the property. We could run that tree over it with something. We could do donuts in this grass. We could drive a car through that old shed. There's just so many different things.

And then, you know, hopefully those videos can just live on forever and pay the mortgage in 30 years off of that video. I love that we're able to do that because normally with land, uh, the only way to squeeze out of it for a normal person is that motion. Y'all are doing, um,

But the only way to do that is to build and sell, split it up, build, sell, rent, whatever. But for us... Or farm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or farm. But it's like for us... We could plant a little sweet corn patch. Evan can be over there. Farm and tilling. I feel into it.

And I feel like just either way at the, in like the most simplest way to look at it, not even thinking of all the other things that we're going to do. It's just a store of value. Like you put it there, it's going to slowly grow up or go up, you know? And it's like, you have that there. And in 30, 40 years, if you want it, you could sell it.

You know, and it's just like things like that. Yeah, dude, I love Cormorant too. Like I love like buying up as much as we can around Cormorant. It's so fun. And most people would be like, you know, you guys could like invest that money in like any other town or market and probably be a much better return. But I think for us, like it makes...

so much sense because like, we love it. Like this is where we're from. This is where our roots are. Like our business is here. And now we're just like buying up as much as we can around the area. And, and I hope one day, like you're just driving down the road. See boys, see boys, see boys. So I was out to eat with, uh,

my girlfriend and her dad at, he likes talking us up whenever. And another older guy comes over and starts talking to him, you know, they're talking about whatever. And he goes, Hey, you know, you know, CJ, uh, my daughter's boyfriend, whatever. He's, he's one of the C boys, you know, never goes, you ever, you ever heard of those guys? And I'm normally, I'm like, like, you know, you never know how they might not like us or they might like us, but I'm always just like, nah, you don't need to mention that. But he, he brought that up and he goes, Oh,

oh yeah, I know those guys. They're the ones that keep buying all the land I'm looking at getting. But then he goes, yeah, so what do you do? What do you guys do for work? I go, make YouTube videos. And then he didn't quite understand. He's like, yeah, but what do you do? So I just said, I'm like an editor. I do video editing. He goes, oh, nice. Okay. He's like, what do you need property to video edit? He's so confused. He went all the way more confused. Mike, you said something so funny the other day. You were like,

Talking about how Cormorant could like expand out to like where we bought. I just picture like the Cormorant village like growing because it hasn't grown in since existence. Like it has not grown at all. But we're just like the village. We're going to build Cormorant. The village itself hasn't. But I mean, again, talking about the land that we hopefully get to close on is Cormorant.

about as close to cormorant as as anything's been available in a while as far as a monumental amount a lot of sheds a lot of sheds around this area but what are you gonna do this is true it's growing and i genuinely think it will grow because of us not solely because of us but well i mean if we have kids one day where they're gonna need to go to school somewhere we build a school that would be insane so eight kids in the class public schools are getting a little crazy so yeah i mean we might have to build our own we

We build our own schools. Not even send your kids to private school. You build them your own school. Yeah, that's like some Elon Musk shit right there. That's like some cult type shit. Yeah, I was going to say. I think it would get... What do you guys think you'd teach at...

if it was a school, like what would you, what would be taught there? Normal school things? Or would you be teaching like specialty? Oh, you're saying we would be the teachers? No, I'm just saying like if it's your school, you could like kind of make the curriculum, you know, like you could be like teaching about for sure rock climbing, using money, right? You know, enjoying life, right? Things that are actually important. Yeah. Washing your car.

getting a loan i would love love if they had a class i'm sure some schools do but yeah class where they teach taxes how to pay your taxes yeah stuff like loans like you know how to get that in college do not well yeah and they don't tell you that in high school either it's just and it doesn't even need to be that deep doesn't it make sense to just have like a class that's just called like like life lessons 101 yeah that that right there would probably be the most important class

Just getting around, you know? Or even break that into a couple different factors, life lessons on the physical standpoint of, you know, like, I guess...

I don't think it'd be that insane to just teach everyone CPR. They did that in high school for me. Really? That's good. And then, yeah, life lessons in finances. Some people need life lessons in social aspects too. And also, I feel like people have been saying that forever. Like, how long have you heard of, yeah, wouldn't it be nice if we learned how to do our taxes in school or whatever? People have been saying that for like 20 years. Or also just save money on taxes. But I suppose the government typically owns schools, so why would they...

That is very true. Like how to form an LLC and like all these like things that actually. Yeah, that's true. Is what the wealthy people do. Yeah. But then you're kind of building like business owners and I don't know if the world is better having more business owners. The government wouldn't say so. Yeah, exactly. They want workers. Yeah. Yeah.

They want sheep. Yeah. In the eyes of like a functioning society. Yeah. No, 100%. You need everyone. You need a little bit of everything. The only useful thing I learned in college was how to use Excel. Pretty damn good. Yeah, you are. You're very good at that. I'm so bad at that. Well,

But I got you for that. You can probably teach yourself on YouTube though and probably like a day. Realistically, probably even less than a day. Yeah, you probably teach whatever you need to do. You can probably learn in probably an hour on YouTube. 100%. Our friend Steve Hamilton, owner of Custom Offsets. We went to Florida with him last month. He

When we were lining up everything for Florida, he goes, what's your email? I'm going to send you over a spreadsheet. He literally sent me a spreadsheet of every single detail down to every five minutes of where we were going to be and who was doing what and everyone's room numbers. He was a super successful dude. He was like, I use Excel for everything. I'm pretty sure he was telling me he was teaching his...

kids like how to use it makes sense really well and yeah I mean why wouldn't you it is very useful I was scrolling through TikTok and the mayor of Anchorage Alaska said that it's cheaper to offer homeless people flights to Los Angeles

She said it costs $100 a day to house a homeless person, and it's like $236 for a one-way ticket to Los Angeles. Send them all to L.A. Send them to L.A., give them a summer, warm... Shitty California. Bridge Alaska says he is solving his city's homeless crisis by giving them a one-way plane ticket to Los Angeles. They're going to have a choice to stay warm this winter, and that's the choice that we're giving them. And I think a ticket this morning to Los Angeles is about $286.

It costs us $100 plus or minus a few dollars every day to house someone, and we don't have a place to put them, a large shelter this winter. Dude, imagine you're a homeless guy and a cop comes up to you and you think you're getting arrested and he goes, hey, you want to go to California? Hey, you're going to Cali. I feel like I'd be sick. If I was homeless, that's where I'd go. Yeah. I'd go somewhere warm. I think that's how they all think, too. It reminds me of...

That episode of South Park when Cartman ships all the homeless to California. Yep. And he goes through and he's like, California, super cool to the homeless.

Lots of rich people giving change to the homeless. That song lived Renfree in all our heads for a long time. I still have it in there. Once you say that, now it's just plain. South Park's a legendary show, man. Dude, it is. I just saw a clip of when they have to save the town and they need like

And they raise $10,000. They go, we don't have enough, but we're going to put it all on one number at the casino. And we went 350 grand and then hits. And then they go, wait, if we do it again, we'll have 12 million. And they're like, let it ride. And the kids are like, what the hell? And then they obviously lose. It is truly just a...

Just the pinnacle of, like, memeing current events and everything. I feel like I learned a lot through South Park. Yeah, absolutely. I grew up watching it probably from the fourth grade. I feel like you have some of your character traits from that show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People that didn't... Like, my humor, my sense of humor. Yeah, exactly. People that didn't grow up watching South Park, I think it shows. Yeah. So, yeah, I mean...

Evan didn't watch South Park. That's actually surprising. It was too mainstream for him. Well, even when we were in Disney World with the CEO of Bugatti, Matt Tay, he spoke really good English, and he's from Croatia. And we're like, oh, how'd you learn English? And he was like, honestly, watching South Park. Yeah. What? Yeah.

And you could tell, though, because that was like his humor. Yeah. Everything that we would like say that was like pretty like edgy. Yeah. It was like edgy that like most most people that were like straight laced would be like, what the fuck's wrong with these guys? But he would he would start laughing and then he'd say something back and be like, oh, man, we vote degenerates. This is cool. We formed a little bond with him over that. We started talking like episodes or like just like funny little moments, funny things like quoting lines. And then, yeah, it really broke the barrier down.

I feel like most people, most, all like humor like that. That's why it's such a popular show and it's been going forever. Some people are just afraid because they're too PC. Yeah, they don't want it to come out. Especially nowadays, dude. That show was savage back in the day. And that was just on cable television. Anyone could watch it. You just flip to the channel. And they were straight up doing disses at everyone. I remember...

They were going to show some like Muhammad, some important terrorist figure from Iran or somewhere. It was like Muhammad or something. And they were going to put them in the episode. And then like that terrorist group responded and said something like they were going to attack.

attack if they did that because it's some kind of profit that you're not supposed to show and no one's supposed to see and they were gonna make fun of them and then like the government was like like please don't don't do this and they like ended up putting him in like a bear costume for the episode like they still treaded the line like how savage can you imagine you know those two hung up the phone and high-fiving we just got a call from the u.s government telling us

that the terrorist group wants to attack because of us well how about the movie the interview i was thinking about that i can't believe that went what what ended up happening with that well basically they they was going to go to theaters and then yeah did it go to theaters and then it never did oh really yeah it was like super limited release and then like i think that was like right when like sony movie studios like servers got hacked

It was a bunch of random weird stuff that happened. And then I think shortly after, let's say a couple months, they just were like, you know what? We're just going to soft release this on our streaming platforms. I forget where it first started. CJ, are you talking about Saddam Hussein? So basically it was the 200th episode, and I guess it's now banned.

Like, it's just not. You can't find it. Really? Wow, that's actually legendary. Yeah, they received death threats from extremist Muslims. Yeah, it was a bad deal. And then they put them in a bear costume. I thought they still did it, though. Yeah, they just don't give a fuck. Which, I mean, it's tough. I'm sure it's a lot harder to make an episode of South Park nowadays. Well, yeah, but they can also just look at what's happening in society on, like, a daily norm. That's what I mean. Yeah, it's just...

Life imitates art or art imitates life. Like in their instance, they were probably just like, man, this is getting easier and easier. It's almost like not as funny because it's like, holy, like this is too true now. You know, it's just like Jesus. And they kind of did go where it's more like,

factual or not factual, but it's always with current events when it used to be like random stuff. Yeah. It'd be like not necessarily as current, but it would be maybe involving something that obviously has gone on, but not super. Yeah, I agree. They make an episode in a week. That's just like us, which is pretty cool. You should watch that. Uh, they have like a thing on Hulu, I believe. And it's like the making of South park in it. It's like a 48 minute documentary and it follows them. And it shows like them going from the week and like making an episode. Oh,

Oh, that's sick. Except they only have to make like 12 episodes a year and we make 50. True. I can't believe they can do that with TV and put it out fast. It seems to me that you would need it like a week in advance, you know? I mean, when you're them, I guess you just run it right to them. They literally run it right to the network and they put it on. I guess. It's weird to think that you just like put in a desk. Back in the day, we had super bad Wi-Fi here.

and we would have to drive to like our friend's house or super big house the mansion oh yeah they had like the best wi-fi in the area to upload our videos i had the i had the password to it i'm not gonna say who gave it to me but uh so i would go and like sit outside this like the mansion on on pelican lake that you'll see sometimes in the background of videos and i'd

I'd post, upload the video and then drive back. Would you be able to get inside the gate? Like you get up by the house? Yeah. Okay. I'd be like up in there. I wouldn't be in the house. He didn't, he never even knew I was there doing it. Uh, but yeah, we'll sometimes be like parked out front and we'll have some people that, you know, just like new group of people or whoever out and that's where everyone sits at the sandbar and they'll just,

can't believe this house i'll be like yeah for like a year uploaded youtube videos off his wi-fi actually and everyone's like what so weird it is a good fun fact it was like part of the routine so you know now the routine obviously is like you

Ben, export to CJ. CJ exports Ben. And we upload it. You write your description. You get your thumbnail. But before, it was like, all right, who's got the car ready? Warmed up. Yeah, yeah. I feel like driving there while it was exporting. I always remember that. CJ and his car. I mean, did you do it in your Subaru or had you totaled it then? I just remember. Oh, yeah, in the Evo. But you're still driving a manual. He's got his laptop and he's cruising over there and it's exporting as he's driving. Someone get the car ready. Get the car ready. Yeah.

I just know it's part of the upload schedule. It's always a rush, man, to get that thing done and up. Yeah, it is. Which hopefully the viewers appreciate because it's a grind every time. Never really seems to get any easier. Never does. You'd think it would, though, eventually, but it never does. I swear, it's just getting harder. It might get harder. Yeah, I feel like it's only literally getting harder. Yeah. I think it is, like, for you guys, because...

because you're just so prideful in what you're creating week in and week out. I see it. You're stressed because you want it to be the best it can be, and that's never changed. So I think since the content we've been filming is getting better and better. It's like we've got three, four, five cameras, and I'm like sifting through that. More camera angles, more audio, more GoPro, more thicker.

thicker ideas everything there's definitely more weight to it yeah you guys are just perfectionist with it you know when you do it you're like i want it to be the absolute best it can be

which is good because it's a good thing yep and also the fact that it is done week in and week out it's it's got to be the most mentally stressful part of the whole business and it's not something that ryan well you you deal with it too with the podcast but yeah on a miniature level yeah uh you guys ever you know like when you go to a car meet the guy will have like his 1982

chevelle there and it's got like a thousand no touching stickers yeah all over the car and i feel like it is it's etiquette at a car show you walk around with your hands behind your back you make the little duck tail you don't touch the car yeah but some people are such psychos about if you like were to touch their car like the fingerprint god the paint yeah and it doesn't really make any sense to me because they literally drive it down the road or like it

You're getting hit by bugs. I suppose they probably don't drive in the rain. There's always something. A little rock. If you're saying that, the car better look flawless. Perfect. I feel like if it's a million dollar car or something really rare, I can get behind it. But if it's just like a...

A 2018 Camaro SS. I'm like, bro. Just fucking drive the thing. Yeah, just drive the thing. But also, you know, it's his pride and joy. He wants to keep it nice. I get it. Yeah, I think there's certain people like that, though. But, you know, when we go to SEMA, we see the crazy...

craziest cars like you see so many crazy cars by the end of it you're seeing like million dollar cars and they don't even look custom yeah you can't even appreciate it and i feel like those people really don't care they understand it is what it is and the paint's going to be fine because they put 7 000 clear coat layers on it yeah so i you know it's it's there's different types different types

Me and CJ's grandpa growing up, dude, like the biggest car guy we knew, you know, probably where we got a lot of our love for cars and respect for cars. But like, dude, he would go out and buy like a new Mercedes or he always had Corvettes when we were growing up.

And he would just park them underneath the trees out in his yard. Not even in the garage? Not even in the garage. Truly would not care about them in that aspect. Cats would be walking all over them and stuff. He just hopped in it and drove it. Drove it on gravel to get to his house. Yeah, I feel like there is different extremes. I'm...

I try to not scratch my car or my truck when I can. Maybe not take it through the touch car wash every week or not when I'm going out on the track. Try to stay away from the big branches. But I'm also kind of realizing my truck, you got to use it, whatever. But today, Alondra and I were at McDonald's.

And the lady came out. We had three drinks. We had burgers. We had a bunch of shit, right? And so the lady, when she's only got two hands, is holding the bucket and presses the bucket up against the truck, reaches over, and starts grabbing out. So when the drinks come out, the bucket goes up, and then she moves it down again. It was just like this. It was just pushing them down. I was like, ooh. And I just got my food. It was quiet enough, but I just was like...

I was going to tell you guys, I'd be like, don't do fucking curbside service because that would be, that's good. Painful. I actually had a very similar experience at Caribou. So they always, they have the little card thing where you put it in on the stick. Well, this one day is, I don't know what it was guy instead of the cute girl that normally hands it to me. And, uh,

Already I feel bad. Yeah, exactly. I'm in my GTR. He swings the fucking stick around and just smacks it in the side of my car. Side of the GTR. I'm not even kidding you. What? Yeah, he, not like purposely, obviously, but, and I shouldn't say smack, but he like knocked it in the side of my paint. And I was kind of just like, like I legit like looked at him and I went like, I went like this.

I didn't say anything. I was just like expecting him to be like, Oh fuck. Like, sorry. Like, Oh my bad. But he didn't say anything. He just was like, then he goes, yeah, if you want to leave a tip, I hit zero zero. I was like, got out of there. I'm sure for some people that don't know it just as it looks like a clean black car, you know what I mean? Obviously it's sporty and whatnot, but yeah,

It was a metal thing. He hit it in there. No, I mean, yeah, he dumped it, but he probably doesn't think anything of a car. No, I get it. It was an accident. I'm sure he didn't mean to, but yeah, it was interesting. But yeah, still, it happens. You're like... I was expecting like, oh, dang, sorry. Yeah. Some of these places are getting out of line asking for tips. I agree. It is bullshit. I love now. They are just straight up doing their job.

Yeah. And they're asking for a tip when it's not really a service-based business. Obviously, if they're serving you or doing something for you, it makes sense. They're bringing your drink to the table. The food industry is one thing, but when we were at the golf course,

I was just paying for our golf round. And there was a tip option. And there was a tip option. And I tipped her and I tipped her really well knowing what we were about to do to that course, on that course. We didn't do anything to the course. I think she was so caught off guard that I actually tipped her though. I'm sure most people would say no. Well, yeah, because it's just like a girl sitting there just like bringing you up for nothing.

For your round. I just started to think like, man, there's so many times that people just expect you to tip when they're just doing their job. And when I worked in that, like when I worked at the Cormorant store and like scooped ice cream, man, it would make my day if somebody gave me a dollar.

or something like that when you're actually like doing things but you don't have like a tip jar or like like asking them so what's the tip i think that makes a little bit different when you just got a little tip jars in there and it's a kid scooping ice cream and it could have been any kid that was working the store and you know obviously that's a little bit harder because it

The ice cream's all frozen. But, dude, I think the public is actually starting to get sick of those. I would agree. Because I've seen some things said about it, little memes and stuff on the Discover page on Instagram and all that. There's some funny shit about that. It is getting so out of hand. It makes me think of...

My old job before we were doing this full time, working at the gym, you check someone in for the gym and then you turn around and think, tip. Yeah. Well, I checked you in. Yeah, you're doing your job. That's your employer to pay you for, not me. That's the problem, I think. I'm already paying for it. Is they don't, you know, if it's a tip-based job, you don't get paid for it.

because you get less than minimum wage or you get minimum wage, but tips is a part of your compensation. There's a restaurant in Florida. But those aren't tip-based jobs is what we're saying. Well, that's what I mean. They shouldn't be, but maybe they are because... I don't think so. Well, I mean, we don't know what the... Definitely not the golf course, but we maybe don't know what the person gets paid at fucking Tutti Frutti when you serve your own food and she just weighs it and checks you out. You don't know. She might get fucking $7 an hour and then is hoping for that dollar tip to make it.

Yeah, I think it's just like when you're buying something, like when you're buying some clothes. Yeah. You're checking out a no-tipper situation. What am I tipping you for? It's just the classic. It's always an iPad, usually an iPad. And it's that spin around. And then my favorite line is when now it's almost a universal thing. They'll go, and then it'll ask you if you want to.

I'm serious. That's the coffee shop. Again, I know it's a service base, but yeah, they turn around and then they'll ask you if you want to. And then they'll just like look away. They don't say the word tip. I'm going to say, it'll ask me if I want to. There's a restaurant in Florida that does no tips. When you walk in the door, it says like we pay our employees fair. You don't have to tip. Interesting. And I mean, the food's a little more expensive. That's how they do that in Europe. Really? Yeah. Tipping isn't a thing over there. Yeah. I actually think I'd prefer that, but

But then again, I guess you don't necessarily have them working as hard for their service. But then you go back to the point of these people are just ringing up. They're not really doing anything other than the bare minimum. Yeah, it depends on what it is, of course. It depends on which service and stuff like that. But yeah, I think tips definitely fuel it. If I was working for tips, and I said this to Greta the other day, I said, I don't wish that I worked in the restaurant business because I started young. But I wish I could...

I guess know how it feels to be working at such a busy restaurant or a busy bar and running around. And then I'd probably appreciate it a little bit more while I'm at that bar. It does look hard as shit, but I wonder how hard I would work

to get... You'd be the coolest motherfucker. Yeah, yeah. To get people to tip me. Yeah, because I'd just be like, well, I'm like working. I'm mostly getting paid off of my tips. So I'm going to... If I'm here, I'm going to be schmoozing the shit out of them. I'm going to be patting this guy, the dad on the back. Oh, I love your shoes to the mom. You know? Yeah, I agree. Or if you were a girl, you'd just be...

like really wearing some nice outfit. Just be hot. That makes a, yeah, I mean, that makes a huge difference, especially with the older. I remember when I like, yeah, bartended for a stint. I was like,

I'm going to try that. I'm going to try to get more tips. And then it got like busy and like, I was just, just trying to get through people. And then I'm like, that didn't work at all. I think it's much easier to do if you're female. But yeah, like I was just doing my job as best I could smile on my face. Just being really nice. An old man. I didn't really, it didn't really, I didn't come home because they're coming up and they're ordering. So it's like, it's true. There's this guy, uh,

His Instagram username is Subway. And actually, funny enough, the reason that I have him accepted in my thing is because he won a giveaway we did in like 2016. And I have a screen recording of it and I'll throw it up. But for you guys, he has liked and screenshotted every single video within an hour of it coming out since 2017. I got to go back and figure out the first one. But he is there instantly.

instantly, he's like my notification of the video. Wow. That's crazy. You got to send him some merch. That is cool. I was saying, I was like, dude, I can't even... I sent to Boneso, I was like, I can't even appreciate...

Tell you how much I appreciate you like watching every week and like being on it and like, so he posts it. Uh, no, he just DMS it to me. Oh, wow. Make sure that it's just kind of like our thing. I don't watch it, but I just see it's live. Look at all these dude. Wow. That's crazy, bro. That's sick. I love that.

going on holy smokes oh he's got the classic og xbox gamer tag profile pic but in turn 25th 2019 dang but in turn of him doing that he's essentially earned his way to it's one be talked about two free merch and three a direct relationship with you i guess you know via dm yeah you're cool yeah i think so too

Sometimes I get messages from people that I've responded and put them in like my primary versus general. Yeah, I've just like responded to them because they're like on the top of my message notifications. And I've gotten like a couple that after responding a couple times like, yo, can I use your Lamborghini for prom? Things like that. I'm like, look, man, we ain't that good of friends. Yeah.

I would say I probably read every DM that comes in. You know, you go through the request and stuff like that. One day when you're bored, you just take a scroll through it. So I always see them. Don't always respond. But Snapchat has the best. Like you actually want us to see something. Snapchat is the best way to do it. Respond to a story because it just like shows up.

Noah, the Make-A-Wish kid was asking about that. He was like, what does it look like for you on the creator side? It was interesting. And cause he'd commented on my story and like, he didn't say anything about coming, anything like that. He just, Oh, I want to put the video of you two fighting and took the audio off. And I went, what do you think these two are arguing about? You weren't actually fighting, but.

Oh, I love that. That was his guess. Preface, dude. CJ and Ben were downstairs filming an ad and like we're, Ryan and I are in our offices and all of a sudden you guys are screaming at each other. And it's mostly just CJ yelling at Ben and we found out. Yeah, we found out that it was because Ben has the ESPN app on his phone and he goes, do-do-do-do.

Yeah, it just ruins the cut. TJ's like, bro, for one, just turn the audio off in general, but why do you even have ESPN on your phone? You don't even watch sports. You don't even watch sports, let alone you're getting a notification about women's soccer? What?

And Ben's like, it went off once, bro. You're like, I don't care. It goes off a lot. I was being like sarcastically. It wasn't like actually mad, but it was funny. It was a tough look. It always does that the worst time. It was like, nice. That was a good take. We got to do it again.

Well, I mean, I don't know if we would. You can barely hear it in the background. So I thought it's funny that I found out through that argument that it was the ESPN app. And of course it makes that sound. It kind of makes sense. But I thought here, Ben went and set his text sound to that. And then had the NFL to turn your sound on. And I'm like, bro, get over yourself. And then again, I was like, do you even like over yourself? He's getting notifications about like,

Baseball. Lacrosse. I think you could edit them if you're like, oh, I really like the Timberwolves. I only want those. No, this guy ain't even reading them. He just gets it, and then he just doesn't even... It's just an app on your phone. No, it's just an app on my phone that I'm too lazy to turn the notifications off. He's too lazy to delete it. That's the problem. When's the last time you logged into the ESPN app? It's not the ESPN app. It's the Fox...

Oh, yeah. It's the Fox app. Oh. And the reason I have the app is because of watching football when we don't have it on the TV here. Yeah. Dang, you're about almost a football season. I know. That's why I'm like, I'm so close. I've just dealt with it for the last nine months. I hear it at least once or twice a day. Yeah. I'm back.

Once or twice a day. And I just like, finally, I just said, why do you even have them? Because you're not a sports enthusiast. I know it does make no sense. Yeah, we did a Make-A-Wish last Friday and it was so cool. So fun. It was so cool. Noah was the kid's name. The nicest kid, 13 years old, and his whole family came. But yeah, Make-A-Wish reached out and was like, hey,

Noah's a big fan. You guys helped him a lot while he was in treatment and everything like that. And he would love to meet you guys, which is like the biggest honor because he could have, he could have asked for anything. Literally gone anywhere, done anything, met anyone. Yeah. And,

And like, that was like one of like the coolest, coolest things. And he was such a cool kid too. It was actually really fun being around, you know, you never really know. Yep. But yeah, he was a cool kid. Yeah. It was fun. Easy to hang, man. He was, yeah. He was coordinated. His whole family was great on the dirt bike. Did so well.

Never surfed in his life before. Throws the rope like fifth try. I was just too fun. Yeah, he was surfing. Yeah. Bro, when you guys were on the track, we started riding. And like the whole, you know how it is. When everybody's watching, the mom is there. He hops on his new pit bike. And freaking Evan and Ben and Micah are like top of second tapped.

Just busting around the course. And he's like, you know, I mean, trying to keep fresh on the bike, trying to keep it was like, slow down. Just like top of first, maybe your mid middle second, you know, like we don't need to kill the kid. First, first jump. I was trying to keep up with him. He was John. Yeah. He was a ripper. He was ripping. He was good.

I didn't want to look like a pussy out there either, Brian. You can't. He was ripping. You kept going like this. And I was like, bro, I'm just trying to keep up. I went like this. Slow down. You're supposed to tell me to speed up. What kind of pit crew is this? Yeah, I end up slowing down on one of the corners. And Evan comes up and goes, what the fuck was that all about? I said, yeah, go on. Brian just threw a yellow flag on us. What was that about? That's what it was.

I was like, I don't know. I didn't want to bring the kid home with any scrapes. Yeah, no kidding. No kidding. Yeah, the parents were watching and the Make-A-Wish lady was watching. Yeah, I don't think generally they put motor sports into it. Like when you guys were ripping in the Lambo, she said, what happens on a Make-A-Wish stays on a Make-A-Wish. And now it doesn't. And now it doesn't. We talked about it on our podcast and it will be in the YouTube video. Yeah.

It's all right. It's an honor. Yeah. It's an honor. Yeah, it was. It sounds good. Circling back to what Ryan said, follow us on Snapchat. We post all of our lives individually now.
