You guys want to know something that I could be criminally charged with?
Yeah, and that's when you offered me the job. Yep. On my birthday. I'll never forget that. I'll ask you beforehand and it won't be so chaotic, I promise. Try to not act so surprised and disappointed.
Live less or sorry, live more, worry less. That's not even like a parody shirt. That's just a, you know, an inspiration to people. I figured I couldn't be funny on this podcast. I decided I'd be inspiring now. Why did you think you couldn't be funny? It seems that my humor doesn't always translate. And honestly, most of my shirts weren't even that funny.
I just feel like they were too deep. I disagree. I disagree. I would say like a lot of your funniest shirts, the punchline was covered by the desk. It's at the bottom. That's why we need to get couches up in here. We'll go with that. Yeah, we have talked about that. The desk will be going at some point. We're busy, busy, but we'll move to couches at a certain point. It'll be more of a chill vibe. Mm-hmm.
Eventually. Yeah, eventually. We got... What in the world is that? What? Is my iPhone 14 Pro Max? Bro, I've never had someone set their phone down and just take me out that hard. What? It's a case. It's...
What is it? What the frick is that thing? It's like this, but the pants are moved. No way. Wow. It has a hinder. I love it. What? Is that Patrick Star? Yeah, it's... I don't really... What's up with his face looking so weird? I don't know. It's from China. Is that supposed to be something on the side?
Of the cheeks? Or is that supposed to say? It's a glisten. Yeah, the glisten. The reflection. A lot of curve. Sorry, I didn't mean to jam you up. I just figured I'd do that. Dude, I'd like to think that if there was a Spongebob that was made in China for Chinese people, it would look like this. Well, not Spongebob, but Patrick. I think that's just like the knockoffs. That way they don't get hit with like a seasoned assist, you know?
put the shorts back on. Because they probably don't own the rights to be making Patrick Star phone cases. Well, Evan didn't come with a funny shirt, but he sure came with a funny phone case. I thought it was a mushroom from over here. I was like, oh, dude,
Dude, did you rock that all weekend? What did people say? No, honestly, it just showed up in the mail. So I just broke it out. How much did you spend on that K7? $4, but it took like two months to get here. Oh, worth it. Worth it. Just like my Xerons, dude. They have like a frying pan. So it's a real full 10-inch frying pan that your phone just sits in the middle of.
Like who is buying this stuff? I feel like that's more of one of those things you throw in your purse or your like a knapsack. Like that's not a pocket case. Ev, I want to see you rock that case for 30 days. You know, Ev, there's a lot of good qualities that you have.
But I wouldn't say that your money spending is one of your... Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Yeah, no, I know. I probably should get a financial advisor, but it's kind of like going to the doctor. Like, I'm a little hurt. I don't want to go in and hear bad news. They're only going to tell you things you're not going to like to hear. I'll tell you that much. Yeah, I'm not trying to hear it. You'd have to have, like, a full lifestyle change, I think. I'm not ready for it.
But I think if they were to inform you that you need a lifestyle change, like you'd be like, oh, you're no longer my financial advisor. Yeah. Find a different one that tells them to spend money. Yeah. Where's the, where's the advisor that tells me to head to Vegas once a month? Once a month. Well, bro, Ev is a big advocate. Like this is more for the doctor when he's like, you know, you're having a genuine conversation with Ken about his knee and you're like,
Ken, why do you keep going back to the doctor? No news is good news, if you ask me. Yeah, if you can move, if you can get through your daily life, no matter how bad it hurts, but you can make daily life work, you're fine. Can you without a brace? No. Short answer, no. All right, where's the video of Ken sprinting through the airport? It does not exist. It does exist. It does exist. You were sprinting through the airport? He wasn't sprinting, but he was moving swiftly. You were moving pretty quick. I need to get to the Sky Club to get my free drinks.
You were exposed by your brother. Yeah, Cody sent us a snap when you were on your way to Alaska. Dude, and I was, I mean, again, it was incriminating. You were not sprinting, but you were moving faster than... Smooth, too. Faster than people without injured knees move. Getting a free drink. Yeah.
I'll take it. Yeah, he's got a reason. I just sit in front of TSA for a half an hour waiting for him to get through. So I was like... Doesn't it suck just traveling with a peasant, huh? Non-pre-check people. Dude, I was cracking up about that too. So Ben right now is in Big Sky with his girlfriend and they're flying out of Fargo. So there's no line. Usually, honestly, not a line. He still walks through the TSA parade right to the front and makes her walk the...
The zigzag back and forth, even though they got to the front at the same time. It's tough. I can see both sides on this because I am a royalty with TSA PreCheck, and I'm just going to use it. I don't care if you guys don't. It may be slightly inconvenient that we can't get to the airport five minutes before our flight takes off, but I'm just going to use it, and I'm going to not walk the zigzag and not have to take off my belt and shoes. But that's fair when we're in a group. You know that...
Evan and I have to walk to the zigzags. Yeah. But if it's just you and the girlfriend. There have been times that the zigzags are quicker. I agree. I love that shit. When we go through the zigzags and we look over at them and they got a bigger line and TSA pre-check. It's amazing. And then we end up just getting there at the same time. I'm like, yep. But you still have to take off your shoes and your belt and everything. Yeah. I guess that was so much work. I don't know how to tie my shoes. So, I mean, that is kind of tough.
So, Ken, you and your brother went on a little excursion this week to Alaska. Family vacation. Parents are taking their RV across the fucking continent. Dude, they fucking love that thing. Just RV tripping everywhere. I honestly feel bad because they got this RV brand new last year.
I'm looking at this thing and the thing is falling apart. Like it's the same, like, you know, all the trim pieces are falling. Like the RV we had, the trim pieces are falling off. Stuff's not working. Bathroom door is broken. Pretty close actually. But I was like, God, it really shows just how shittily built RVs are. I mean, to be fair, they get shook to shit. Yeah.
And driving up to Alaska, those can't be good roads. No, they're not. They're trash. They're trash in that state. But it's like, I'm just looking at this camper and it's just like,
This thing is twice the price of the one we had, and it's still just a piece of garbage. They're still just falling apart when you drive it. Maybe they're just really testing out the suspension on their three weeks alone or their six weeks alone. Two retirees just traveling with a bunch of other retirees. I would have loved to have sent a camera crew with you on that, Ken. I mean, Ken goes on a trip to Alaska with his family.
family and rv how could you describe it in one word was it tolerable boring why was it boring i mean my family's boring too yeah but why was it boring think about the things your parents are interested and think is fun on a trip and then think about the things we do when we're on a trip right just completely different things so like what were you guys doing drove around in the car
Walked around. That was all. Really? That was it. That must be hard for a guy with a bad knee. Sitting in a car? The walking. The walking. The walking. The walking.
I was thinking more of the walking, but I mean, I guess, yeah, sitting too. Everything's flat. It's a tour. It's flat? We went to Denali. It's a tourist town. They have everything like, you know, it's ADA certified. So did you rock around on a Jazzy? No, no. I took a plane, sat in a Jeep. Tell me about that little airplane. Yeah, I would never. Ken told me at lunch today that he chartered an aircraft for him and his brother. Are you serious, Ken? It was like $1,200 to charter a plane.
And it was like $1,000 to rent a car. And it'd take like four and a half, five hours to drive. Or you can charter a plane and get there in an hour. Damn. So that was pretty... I was like, fuck driving. I'll just charter a plane. I was surprised you didn't have them just drive you all the way home. Or fly you all the way home. Well, they... That'd be a lot of fun. Yeah, Ken sent a snap that was like, kind of makes me want to get my pilot's license. If there's anywhere, any state, I guess, or anywhere in the world you can visit that wants...
That makes you want to get your pilot's license? Definitely Alaska. I was looking down at all the lakes. Around here, everyone's got boats and all that to cruise around in. Every single lake, every house that was on the lake down there had a plane out front. Float plane? That is the Alaskan boat. So what did your parents think when you had a plane pick you and your brother up from... It looked like they were, if I saw it correctly, they were standing out watching you guys...
Take off. That's exactly what you think. They got their little phones out facing them. Wrong, wrong. Finger in front of the camera. Just imagine your parents trying to take a video. So you didn't even get the Insta story? Well, I got the Insta story from me. Hi.
Bye, Cody. That is what my mom did. She's just waving. Was she crying because she was so proud that her son chartered a PJ? It was not a PJ. It was a PP. It was a PP. Chartered a PP. It was a mid-sized PP. It could hold five people. So, I mean, have you spent that much time with your family? Not in a long time, and I don't need to.
You still said it into the mic. They could still hear it. I know, but it's quieter. I mean, I can't even really imagine the dynamic. It did seem like you were really having a good time. Like you're posting you and your brother. You're drinking wine together. Like you were chilling. It looked nice to me. Yeah, it looked like you were having a good time. Nice up there. Nice to get away and see some different scenery. But I feel like Alaska is kind of like...
The more inconvenient Montana. That should be their slogan. It's like seven hours to get there. There's no roads anywhere. The roads are all trash. It's just like the same scenery. It's all mountains. Yeah, I love that. So Montana is the frontier. Alaska is. The last frontier. The last frontier, is it? No roads and no bars and everything's inconvenient. What's the ladies situation like up there? All gilfs.
Just all gilfs. But gilfs. There's no gilf. Yeah, it's not a grandma. There was no chicks under 50 in that town. But they were all good looking. They were still gilfs. Yeah, there was a few good looking ones. A few. But I mean, if they're a gilf, that means that you would. There was a few, yeah. Really? Yeah, I guess we could clear that up. Like, in order for them to be a gilf, they have to be...
The I-F has to be in there. Otherwise, they're just grandmas. Yep, yep, yep. But was there any single ladies on your parents' RV trip? All couples. They were all coupled up. You do have a history with...
What's the next topic we're covering? Really? He has a history of consulting. Consulting. I wasn't sure if there was actually a real thing that happened. Consulting can turn into a lot of things. You're right. I'm sorry. You actually have a history of bringing couples closer. You have the business card and everything. Unwillingly have the business cards, but yeah. I'll throw a picture of it up.
Please blur some certain aspects of that, but your number that's already been leaked. No, just the really aggressive tagline of I fuck married couples. Jesus.
Oh, gosh. Yeah, Ken, for your sake, we'll move on. Yeah, it did look like a fun trip, though. I'm glad you went. It was nice. You know, everybody kind of took off, did their own thing. We held down Cormorant, though, so don't worry. Sorry, I got some good stuff coming. It's pretty quiet around here, yeah. It was quiet around here. It was odd, honestly. It was odd. Please don't ever leave me again.
Yeah, it was pretty quiet. You guys still had a good time on Saturday. Ev, what did you do back home? A real low-key weekend. Didn't get into much. Really?
I don't believe that for a second. You know, rode some dirt bikes, drank some Tonys, you know, pretty standard run of the mill weekend. Thursday or Friday you left, you go, hey, is it cool if I take the big wheel? And, you know, it's one of those. I'm like, of course. I didn't even notice it was gone. And I didn't actually ride it that much because I found out it is not
as capable as a regular dirt bike that all my friends had yeah so i think i kind of parked it and just borrowed a bike for most of the weekend so that's why i came back not broken yeah she's just as good as when she left it was pretty interesting seeing like the the jump that you guys had going and then i saw evan hit it last on the big wheel and it looked like you didn't know what you're doing but i knew that it was just because you were on the big wheel
No, the big wheel is just a novelty. It's super cool. It's a ton of fun to ride it in the right circumstances. But I went to like a really fun trail system with a bunch of my friends that have like brand new dirt bikes. Big wheel just, I was struggling. I could have done better on the R6. What would people say if you started just riding that thing around? I kind of want to do it now that you say that. You should. Just hang up to sell the KTM? Nope.
Don't do that. Take the R6. All right. Fair. Sorry, Gavin. The big wheel is kind of like...
what a three-wheeler is to a four-wheeler and a dirt bike. It's not good at either. It's just kind of right in the middle. But it's cool. But it's cool. Novelty. Which I can appreciate. Novelty. Everyone sees it and is like, oh, that's so sick. And then maybe they take a little lap around and they're like, yeah, that's super cool. But when it just comes down to it, it's just much more inconvenient than a real dirt bike. I love that word to describe it because I think it's really accurate. But can you imagine how hurt Gavin would be if someone
Someone described a three-wheeler as a novelty. I don't think it is. I personally don't think it is. But if it was Gavin, you're just, these three-wheelers are just a novelty thing. He'd be like, don't tell me that. They kind of are. I mean, no, really. They are becoming more of a novelty, obviously, as time goes on. Yeah, as the vehicles that are coming out are like immensely capable. Yeah. Honestly, though, I think a three-wheeler may be the best tool to learn how to wheelie.
because they are super stable having the two wheels in the rear, and the front is so light. As long as you've got a proper brake, which most of those 83-wheelers don't have, but if you can get one with a proper rear brake, I think it's the perfect learning tool. Training wheels. Well, there you go.
So, Ev, when I was thinking about, well, actually, it's kind of a two-parted deal. I was thinking about my buddy, Evan, who may not be the best with money. And I also love to go on these car auction sites.
and look where you can buy cars from auction and they may have problems they may be good you know i've always been searching for a deal just like me might have some problems yeah i was gonna say you get what you get yeah they might be good though you never know today's episode is brought to you by angie

Rusty Clark, an Army and Air Force veteran, needed treatment at a VA hospital. Meet his wife, Juanita. We live above Borgentown, West Virginia. It would take us about seven hours to get here. And I was prepared to sleep on the hospital floor beside of Mr. Clark. But the
Fisher House opened up that door. We had a lovely suite to stay in. We had food to eat. We didn't have to worry about that because of Fisher House, the foundation. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher took care of all that years ago, following their dream to make our reality that we were together and we could be treated here. It's a great blessing. Meet Rusty. I was in the Army Guard, and then I went into the Air Force, and then I met Juanita. Keeping families together when they need it most.
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. There's good medicine.
So I was scrolling through one of the forms that posts different cars in there. And someone bought a 2000, a 2015 Toyota 4Runner SR5. Pretty generic car, right? It's got a frame damage, transmission problem, open recall. And yeah, it's basically it's messed up, right?
So you put in bids and all the bids are binding. When you put the money in, it goes. This guy accidentally, instead of putting in $12,000 for this shitty Toyota, put in $112,000 sold.
No. Imagine. So the money's gone. The money's gone. The minute you put it in, it's gone. There's got to be, again, so like. Hard bid. That gives me anxiety. The nitty gritty, like he's got to bring in like a lawyer, right? I mean.
I mean, technically, this man. To save his ass $100,000. I would. He probably checked boxes that said he knew what he was doing. I know, and just did it so fast. That's tough. You bid on him multiple times. He's maybe a little larried up buying cars off auction. I mean, I do get larried and go on eBay once in a while. It's usually just records and underpants.
And shitty phone case. But can you imagine? Do you use Amazon? No, dude. He doesn't. Yeah, Ev, you're like stuck in that like 2007 era of the internet. We'll see who's laughing when MySpace comes back. You look at Evan's MySpace. It's like the most up-to-date thing. It's popping. You posted like right before. It's about to run a podcast. Don't worry. You guys are my top friends. Aw.
I missed that. Ken got me into Facebook when I was young because we would play the different games on it. And his parents, or my parents, rather, were pissed at him. Same. Mine were pissed when I got on Facebook. For being introduced to the online world. And I gotta imagine if you could have told them in that moment that I would weekly spew my fun life and then an hour and a half long telling different stories, they would have had a panic attack.
hundreds of thousands of people. Oh, for sure. Actually though. And I remember that like I was, uh, on the side of things like my social media was, if I could keep it away from my parents, I would absolutely. But Facebook, I was, it was just fine. Oh, you got a Facebook.
that's cool and i show them like yeah i'm just posting pictures i i went to the pumpkin patch last week no but they didn't even like they knew about that like they just knew that was right down the road they were like okay well you maybe shouldn't do that but facebook was fine i just remember my best friend at the time like he's like yeah i can't have a facebook till i'm 18 and i wanted to like say some shit to his dad i wanted to be like you know i'll be like what the like are you how sheltered you want him
Dude, some people like were so afraid of that online world. Like they thought like, oh, if you, you know, posted a picture on the internet, like people are going to like come and find you. Yeah. Oh, your name, your birthday's out there. Like all that. Yeah. Now it's used for us to remember people's birthdays. Yeah. You see it on Facebook. I wouldn't remember anyone's birthday if it wasn't on social media. If there wasn't a birthday cake next to your name on Snapchat, there's no way. I mean, your guys's maybe, but like everyone else's.
What's my birthday? No idea. March? No, we were in Vegas. No. March 15th? You're both right. No, we were in California, San Diego. The first year. Yeah, and that's when you offered me the job. Yep. On my birthday. You'll never forget that. On a beach in San Diego. Drinking mimosas.
But then the last year, yeah, March. March 22nd. Dang. All right, we're close. Sorry to put you on the spot. When's my birthday, Evan? I know when your birthday is. August 13th. Nope. Girlfriend. That's today, bro. That's today. You didn't know that?
I mean, so yeah, as we're filming this, it is August 13th. So I just, I love how you like guessed it and you're like, oh, I didn't even know that was today. Have we ever really talked about that? Like what the process, what happened when we hired Ev at that beach bar in San Diego? I think we have, but. Have we? Yeah. You know, Evan was explaining about how he wanted to get into YouTube and he had had this kid come out and film, you know, for him and whatever, but it just didn't.
really turn out that good or whatever he filmed and edited for him and he's like yeah it's just tough because i show up and i'm on you know your guys's thing and it's like put out there and such a well packaged thing and whatever and then when someone else says it's just like it just was a lower quality or whatever he's like yeah i don't even know where to start we're like well we were actually thinking about hiring you on if you want to go full time and then pretty much called his boss the next like an hour later no no no you had to text you texted him texted him
Yeah, well, and it wasn't even so much that I was really even trying to like... Like, I don't even know what... But...
uh with fuck it wasn't even so much that i was like trying to like really get into youtube so much like i i just thought it was cool and hanging out with you guys is obviously was unreal but it was more just being so over the routine i was working that just removing asbestos just so over it wanting to do anything else and so what what obviously that was uh very hard work and like
I mean, would you say shitty work? Like it sucked when you were doing it? Yeah, like it did. Like there's a million shitty jobs out there, so I don't want to say, oh, this was so much worse than the next one. But no, it was your standard shitty construction job. Like, yeah. Except for yours was working with deadly chemicals that they don't let children around. Yeah, no, I got like 15 more years. I'm going to die, so... Yeah, what's up with that? What's the deal with that? So if you...
That's what he asked after he said, yeah, I have 15 years left in my life. Well, he says it all the time. Yeah, what's up with that? He says it all the time. I kind of joke about the timer. So they say it's like 25 to 40 years is the latency period. The asbestos, you breathe it in, whatever, and it'll just sit there.
And then it just hits. And I think they say that like the average life expectancy after realizing you have an asbestos related disease is like three to six months. Holy crap. Or some crazy thing. So you just be cruising along, chilling, boom, massive cancer, dead. But you took the proper precautions to keep that off your body while the respirator is right?
I mean, unless I needed a smoke break or was just a little sore of wearing a mask, then you'd probably take it off. No, there's a lot of levels, but moral of the story is you definitely get exposed. Like, you can do everything right, and you're still going to, like, be exposed to some of that shit. Dude, they don't pay enough for that shit. No kidding. No. They don't. No. It's probably not worth it, but, like, at the time, kid right out of high school started making, like, some –
serious money. Like, you know, you just do it like sign your life away. Put me to work. That's all there is to it. I got to pay the bills. It is true. I mean, when you compare salaries of something like that, you're like, yeah, I could go work at the parts counter somewhere and make,
this amount of money or i could go do this and work my ass off and get extra hours in overtime and then i have the money to buy dirt bikes and go on trips and do all the stuff that you want to do i mean i totally get how it makes sense i was just talking to a kid today he was like yeah i started doing concrete because i really wanted to go snowmobiling and concrete guys don't work in the winter and i'm making a bunch of money in the summer yeah i think there's a lot of seasonal workers they just 80 90 hours a week in the summer and then just
Yeah, winter off, ice fishing, snowmobiling. Honestly, it gave me – if that works for you, it's not that bad of a deal, man. Like, just chilling in the winter, you know, because you get unemployment and all that, and then just – Personally, though, I like the summer, though. So it sucks to be, like, booked out all summer. It's like, ah, okay.
Yeah. Winners suck. I feel like you still, even now, like make the most of your time. Like a lot of people work and then they go home and they're tired and then they don't do anything all weekend. They watch TV, but I feel like you were always hitting bike races. You're doing ice races. You're going here with the buddies. Like, you know, I feel like you're always out and about. Even when you leave here, we can have a big week where you have to work freaking 15 hours a day all day here. And then you go home and you somehow go harder than you did all week here. Yeah.
yeah i was telling my dad that he was asking about you and i was like honestly when evan goes home he does way more dangerous shit than he does here honestly it really is probably more dangerous way way less yeah way looser that's a good word to put it yeah just but i think that's how i got here that's true but yeah that mentality and those hobbies and honestly i have the best group of friends back home like
We have so much fun. It's amazing. I try to share it like on the Snapchat. Like you get to see a little bit of the back home life. It's been fun. Yeah. Throws in a Snapchat plug. Sickening. I shouldn't have done that. Yeah. I thought you were going to start listening up. Shout out Slim. Shout out Cousin Joe. Evan Chef. Did we ever tell you that that RV trip was almost like your test run?
uh, in a way. I think I like, yeah, I kind of like heard that or maybe like after, not like right on the spot, but a little later. Yeah. I heard a rumor that because we, we talked about it as a crew and we're like, we'd never hired anybody on that point. Like this crew is so tight and we're like, we really get along with Evan. We love having him around. Like,
Can we afford to have him around? Which, man, we could have never imagined. Can't afford not to. Exactly. I mean, you know that. And so we're like, well, let's go on the RV trip. And if we can spend that many days, two weeks locked in a 20-some foot metal box together and still want to hang out, you know, I think it's probably worth it. Man, you guys were lucky that I was still like...
I'm my best behavior. Yeah. You weren't bringing egg salad and all the time. That was the next year. The first RV trip. If you would have brought, can you imagine he brings egg salad the first trip and we're like, nah, we can't deal with this shit, man. I think I, I really knew CJ and Ken like the least. Cause I got to go on the dirt bike and the snowmobiling trips. So I'd spent a pretty decent amount of time. Ryan, Ben and Micah quite a bit with Micah, you know, stay up late, whatever. And,
So it kind of makes sense. Like, yeah, you guys probably didn't know me. That is true. I would say like coming into that trip, like, you know, someone who's your best friend. I go, I'll probably Evan. Yeah, that is true. And then, sorry, Ryan.
But yeah, yeah. And you even said that you're like, you know, I hope like that CJ and Ken are chill with me. Yeah. And I'm like, of course they are. Like you weren't doubting that. Ken was not. He's like, give me a break, dude. He was like very against it. And then he saw I was vaping and he's like, come on. Kidding, kidding, of course.
And the rest is history, honestly. The rest is absolute history. Yeah, like Ryan said, we definitely didn't know if we'd ever bring someone on. But now, I don't know how. Couldn't imagine life without it. Yeah, exactly. Well, without you. Yeah. Without it. Without that Evan Burrow character. Without that stinky hinder. I'll drink to that.
Cheers, brother. I feel like you two really were the tightest because you two are certified chillers. Yeah. Like, I guarantee you, and we got a couple buddies in town from Canada, I guarantee I will see Snapchats at 3 a.m. tonight of you guys up hanging. That's chilling, yeah. You guys are way better chiller than me. And no offense, but really just do nothing. And do it. And stay up all night doing it. I know. I was just thinking about this today. Whereas me, I'm like, I got to get to bed.
I'm almost like almost it's like a fine line. I'm I should say I'm equally as productive during let's say the work week. If I am just a really good boy and go to bed, you know, and and hanging out the girlfriend and just really tame and vice versa staying up late doing like till 3 a.m. with having hitting golf balls at the water truck.
I'm just as productive doing both things. That's because you somehow survive without sleep. You're like whatever the opposite of a sloth is. It's weird. I actually did run myself down on the merch drop. I was actually pretty bummed. You were getting sick? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lack of sleep, staying up late.
way later than I should be, like, just kind of just cranking on it. Not even being, like, the craziest productive, but, like, still working on it. And I'm like, fuck, dude, I'm, like, not getting sleep. And then I got sick. Like, I'm sick right now, and I'm pretty bummed about it. However, most of the time...
It's crazy. And I didn't mean it in like you guys aren't doing anything because you are having fun. And realistically, that's like the most important. I'd say it might be the most important. I mean, what's the point of life if you're not enjoying it? So, I mean, hitting golf balls at the water truck at three in the morning out there.
We have $600 on the line. Yeah, that's fun. That's fun. Honestly, I wish I was there for that. See? Money. But, Mike, you got to fix your sleep schedule, man. For sure. I don't even know how you do it. But lately, this last week with the merch shop, like I was saying, relatively getting a lot of shit done. But, dude, it's a universal thing. Whether I'm staying up until 2 or 3...
or four or five sleeping until 11 let's just say 11 like that's i try not to sleep any past that but 11 or 11 30 man the day after that sorry the day after like the day after you wake up goes like this it's like two exactly but is it half gone i know you guys wake up like really early but is i know the work day is half gone but like is the day half gone
As in like, I'm not like justifying anything. Just a skewed perspective. But yeah, I think that's the toughest thing. It's like, yeah, truly the two o'clock, five o'clock, seven o'clock, and then it's nighttime. I'll change one day. You think you'll be able to convince me? Like, dude, waking up at eight, it's tough for me. But man, those four hours before noon are like...
Gold. Oh, wow. I just can't believe that you're saying that. It's unbelievable. Every person with a job ever knows that. Wake up at like 6 in the morning. But see, that will never happen for me. No, but you should try it once. You wake up at like 6 and then you go and make a cup of coffee. And since you're up earlier than most people probably start their day 7, 8. But since around here it's maybe 9.
you have this, you have this free time to just do whatever you want and you can sit there and sip some coffee. Get your head clear. Yeah. And just do, and, and kind of putz around, do whatever, like the few things that you maybe got to do that just are personal. I don't know. It's just, it is nice. You really start to enjoy that. I think. Yep. I,
I guess you'd probably do that at night, though. Yes, I 100% agree with that, though, because I do do exactly that at night. But you can't drink black coffee during that time, though. Exactly, and on the off chance that, you know, maybe like on one, wanting to do something, or anyone, anyone. Like, I'm talking like, yeah, of course people are going to want to do shit 7, 8, 9, 10. But yeah, on the off chance that someone's like wanting to do something from...
from eight until one in the morning, that that's, that's a problem. It'd be like if someone was trying to come up to you at seven 30 and was like, let's do something. And then you're like, well, no, this is my time. But you would say no then. But so, so I think once, if there's ever a time that I can find out that the value that those three hours before work are more valuable than, cause I already agree that they are. It's just like a lot of change. Yeah. Yeah. Getting there. You're talking about that valuable four hours, eight to noon.
from midnight to 4 a.m that's when i think the majority of the stories the funny videos all the good stuff happens then don't tell me that i mean yeah but the problem is it's like tuesday for mike and he that's like his six o'clock work day right right exactly exactly so it's like i'll find myself in those situations a lot but yeah it's like when i am working then i'm like
I don't feel bad one second about being up late, you know, and hopefully getting up in the morning. But yeah, then it's like when I get tangled up doing the fun shit, then it's tough. And if you catch a working groove too, there's nothing better than that. And that's, I get why you wouldn't want to quit. I would say more of the story is like, it's not, it's not a good thing. It can be good, but it's not a good thing.
Whereas like waking up early is like almost always a good thing. Like when is that going to bite you in the butt? I'd say, yeah. Except for then you get tired at night. And so that's another crazy thing is like, I don't like yawn anymore. It's crazy, dude. I'm not joking. Like I'm not. And before it was like, I just slept as long as I could sleep. And that has kind of pulled back. Like now I just like, I just don't be like yawn. Yes, I do. Like as a normal person, but I'm not like, I don't hit a point where I'm just like, Oh man, I'm,
just worn down right now it's just like when i'm up i'm up it's crazy might have to do with the semi truckload of celsius we go through every week dude if i ever am yawning one celsius and it's like you're back just dialed did did you guys see that elon and mark zuckerberg now called off their fight literally a week after back and forth back and forth and i'm like
I'm starting to believe that the whole thing is a hoax. No, no. It sounds like Zuckerberg's about it, but obviously Elon... Yeah, that's what I'm reading. Why the fuck would he do that? Seriously, why would he? I wouldn't. For the culture. Dude, I mean, it would be absolutely the coolest thing to ever come out of right now, ever. Elon's for the culture, but Mark Zuckerberg actually probably beat him if he's like...
Obviously, jiu-jitsu has nothing to do with boxing, but he actually does combat sports. You'd think he would have the edge in that. If I had to guess, I feel like he does. Yeah, I agree. That's probably why Elon pulled out. Maybe he's not so much for the culture. Yeah, I'm kind of old. Older. You just got to look. Elon's in his 50s. Mark Zuckerberg is upper 30s, probably low 40s. Maybe you could fill in for Elon since you're such a Tesla fan. Yeah.
I'll pass. Ken gets in there and fucking fights Mark Zuckerberg. That'd be amazing. Gotta let the knee heal up. Well, he does. I just don't know. I don't know. I want it to happen really bad as essentially... As a viewer. Yeah, as a viewer in the one of...
millions of viewers in the statistics of wanting this to happen, like, yeah, I want to watch it so bad. Do you think that would be the biggest pay-per-view event ever? Ever. Probably ever. Absolutely. I don't know. I don't know. I think it could be, but I also think it could be on the same level as like a Jake Paul type of thing. But yeah, then again, I guess...
It would get a lot of buzz. You're right. I think a lot of people would tune into it. I just think it would be because of the poll. I'm going back on it. I think it would be the biggest pay-per-view event. People would start putting big money on it. You'd start hearing these rumors, oh, a million on this, a million on that. You're hearing about this. It would be such a shitty fight, though. It really would be. If Mark Zuckerberg puts out a thing, here's the link. This will just be in your feed for
Or the fight. Yeah, you're right. They start charging like a $50 pay-per-view fee. I can see like my dad's not going to tune in for that. I think your dad would get... He would hear the buzz from some friends and he would go over there and probably sit down and watch. Yeah, you're right. Maybe he and his buddies, they have like a garage party. But it would be one of those shitty fights kind of like back in the day, the YouTuber fights when they like... It's their first boxing match. They're not really boxers. And then it's just like kind of just a lot of like flailing. And it's just not a whole lot of...
Anything. But with their aura around them, it would be fine. Like, you're not going to want to watch anyone else have a shitty fight. You'd just be laughing the whole time. That's true. I think you would put it on more of like a rough and rowdy kind of... They go to bars to do sports? No, you mentioned... The show would be like a rough and rowdy kind of thing, but it's like... Chicks in bikinis holding up signs, stuff like that. I think that's the only way they could make it entertaining. So...
Yeah, what's the deal with that? King David Portnoy sold Barstool to Penn for $500 million. Obviously, he didn't get a check for $500 million. It went different places, all that type of stuff. So from what I understand is obviously Barstool is a pretty abrasive company.
In many ways. In many ways, and so is Dave. And so because of what Dave's done in the past, he really shit on ESPN. ESPN's owned by Disney, the largest sports media company in the world, and Penn wanted to partner with ESPN to make a sports book, basically, right? It'd be the hugest thing ever. Well, ESPN wouldn't work with them if they owned Barstool. So Dave got Barstool back for $1. Wow.
How does that work, though? What a win. I actually did wonder. I see the memes. I saw it. He got the money, and he got his company back. How does that work? In which way? I just want... Maybe why wouldn't someone else buy it for more than a dollar? How does he get the opportunity to buy it back for a dollar? It's probably a good question. I bet you they had some type of deal worked out, and probably Dave didn't want to sell to anybody else because he was sick of being controlled by...
Somebody else doing things. My friends that are hardcore, I think they go by stoolies, but like barstool people are pissed because they like barstool sports as a sports thing, not as like all of the clickbait podcast meme things that they do. So they were pissed. I just talked to him last night about it. They're fired up. About what?
Just like, it's going to be a bunch of shitty clickbait again. They're going to just keep pushing Brianna and Brianna chicken fry and all that. They don't like Brianna chicken fry? And I was like, yeah, guys, you're forgetting that she's one of the biggest people in that group. Like, that's where media is headed. So you're saying that it's going to go more to the clickbaity memes and podcasts and less. I thought it was going to go more to sports. I honestly figured it would go the same. I think there'll be more of like a media company, which I mean, they're crushing it at right now, but.
they are what they are, but I think they'll go probably more media. But yeah, I have, I wondered that too. I was like, how is there not someone else that's like, well, I'll put up 550 million and I want to buy it over day port. And I, I was just wondering that. Yeah. I don't really know. I'm sure there was some deal, but I did see that if Dave sells, uh,
pen gets uh like a certain percentage of whatever he sells it for yeah so basically that was like pen's gift to him that could explain that one dollar that makes sense yeah and he said he's never gonna sell until yeah till the day he dies i genuinely it's tough because i really love barstool sports no matter what they do like it's weird i just like it's kind of just part of my life i just follow them watch their content indulge in it but people say the same shit about them that they've been saying it's like the comments are just like
When are you going to post sports? People have been saying the same shit about them for the last five years. I thought he just ate pizzas. Yeah, dude. Oh, man. The pizza reviews are pretty funny, too. I just watched a recent one where he's reviewing and then the manager comes out and he's like...
hey like did you get permission to film here and then he's kind of like dude what the I'm Dave Portnoy and he's like you need to get off my patio he said this is what he calls it my patio and then he got the manager got fired the next day oh man what a bad what an idiot and they brought him back to do another one but still and then I just love the top comment was like did this affect your pizza sales I bet it did dude I mean I guess I don't know how you negatively affect a place like
really permanently. Like even if someone went and shit on a local establishment, true. It's just based on somebody's actions. I still don't know if I would be like, fuck that place. Ken boycotted a local bar one time cause they messed up his food. He went back.
He boycotted him for 30 days. Solid. Yeah, I won't go back for a little bit, but I'd still go back. What did they do? What was the mix-up? They forgot my food order like two times in a row. Like, put in a group food order, and they just didn't put mine in. I thought it was they forgot like a salad or something. No, they forgot the entire meal. I believe it was around our RV trip this spring, and maybe a little before, and then a little after. Ryan, that happened. Oh, yeah. Like five times in three weeks.
That you were always the one that got shafted. You got the wrong food, no food, or yeah, just missed completely. You know, there's five to 10 people at every meal. Every time Ryan is the one that got messed up. It does suck too when you're really hungry and then your food doesn't count. You're just like, fuck.
Everyone's done eating, ready to go, and then they bring yours out. In a to-go box. I got to eat a cold burger on the car ride home after being there for an hour and a half. But I will say you have been beyond respectable in all those situations. Never chewed them out. I mean, because there is really nothing you can do. You just got to accept it. You just got to take it. It's tough. Someone just forgot my food order last week, actually. We were there for two hours and 45 minutes, me, Alondra, and my dad. Jesus. And it was...
none of us were too stoked leaving. It was like, what are you going to do? Like the lady obviously felt super bad about it. Like people make mistakes. I make mess ups in my job. It is tough. It makes you not want to go out to eat though.
That's actually... Like, three hours out of your life. Yeah, when you go for dinner at 6 and you get home at 9.30 and you're like, ooh, that was my whole night waiting for food. It'd be wonderful if you're there having fun, drinks, you know, chilling, but when you're waiting for your food the whole time... Yeah, it's tough to get after the waitress or the waiter, too, because it's like, I mean, what did... It's not really their fault. Yeah. People look over and you're, like, chewing out the waitress. Like, there's no good way to do that, no matter what happens. Yeah.
It's not going to fix your problem either. Exactly. Exactly. But also like a little transition to going out to eat. Now it's like, so I just went to McDonald's today. Got, tell me if this is a lot, but two quarter pounder meals. It's a lot. Burger. Well, for me instead. Okay. But two quarter pounder meals. So you got fries, burger, drink, and then grabbed. McDonald's? Yep. Grabbed a 10 piece McNuggets just for a little hors d'oeuvre. Okay.
It was $32. McDonald's ain't cheap. But neither is anything anymore. I mean, going back to when you're like, Jimmy John's, that shit ain't cheap anymore. But I'm like...
Two meals from McDonald's plus just the one thing. And be if I like grabbed a coffee or an ice cream. It's not good food either. No. It's not good for you. And yeah, of course I enjoy it. I love McDonald's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I love McDonald's. I love it. It's good. Guilty pleasure. Yeah, guilty pleasure. Absolutely. But I was like, fuck, $32? Like that's really expensive. As in like, I...
actually could go to the bar and grill and get a burger fries and a drink for for two people for about 35 dollars like 35 crazy and so then it just like got my whole brain going about inflation and everything and how like the barbie movie and oppenheimer like huge huge huge they're like no not yet i want to see both of them i uh how it's like the biggest in the box office ever and i'm like are we
adjusting for inflation here made the most money ever in the box office I'm like but are we adjusting for inflation because just like everything else is like inflation's kicking our ass right now and we're all just like
we need Hulu and McDonald's. Hey, keep paying for it. No, it's crazy. I feel like there's some things like 35 bucks at Buffalo Wild Wings. You're like sick. Good for it. But you go to McDonald's. It's like paying for some things like, uh, let's say putting a new wheels on my truck.
couple grand i'm like done but i have to put new wiper blades on that bitch i'm like fuck dude and 32 dollars in wiper blades i throw a little miniature fit about it internally yeah run them till metal exactly so you can't even see i'm gonna replace the windshield before the blade exactly yeah exactly i don't let myself get bound up about the overpriced mcdonald's and the wipers because it
At the end of the day, I'm going to go throw 200 in the pull tab box, lose it all. Yeah. Evan, they got to have a picture of you. So I think our local pull tab jar sponsors the outdoors club. They're going to have a picture of you on the wall. Yeah, you're a sponsor. No, the bars either have a picture of me saying like top spender, number one customer or no. Do not let this man inside. Either way, I'm on the wall. Oh, man.
I found out today that in Switzerland, you can be denied citizenship for being too annoying. Really? Yeah, and I love it. I love that. Citizenship, though? So there's this chick, apparently, that was trying to move there, probably from a neighboring country. She gained a reputation in the village that she was trying to live in for campaigning publicly against local traditions in which she believed violated animal rights. And everyone else is like,
dude, F this chick. And they denied her citizenship because she was so annoying. That was their reason? Yeah, that was, of course, I think it's a clickbaity title. It's the annoying. It could be problematic or something like that. Based on what she's doing, I'm stoked to hear that's how it panned out. That's what I mean. I was like, I read it. I'm just like,
I love that. And of course, we would never do anything like that here, but... Can you imagine being denied citizenship for being too stinky? Then, yeah, you wouldn't be allowed anywhere. You'd have to be so stinky. Like, you'd have to be a... Dude, I just watched the SpongeBob episode where he, like, didn't have any food left. He wanted to make an ice cream sundae, but instead he...
made ketchup and onions and peanuts and then he had really stinky breath and he thought he was ugly he scared everyone off and then he made patrick eat it i wanted to not know what you're talking about i know exactly what you're talking about yeah after i watched it i just like we're moving fast here but i was like man spongebob is my favorite show
It's so good. You were just watching that today or this weekend? Yeah. You flip on Spongebob just as something to watch? Sometimes, yeah, yeah. I guess it is light TV. It really was, yeah. I was going to say, how stoned do you have to be to watch Spongebob at this stage of the game? In the middle of a Saturday? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something like that. And then the next episode that came on after the one that I was just talking about was the one where he's like watching the see an enemy that kind of looks like, and then he's like, Gary! And changes the channel.
And then I'm like, that's the kind of humor that I loved about SpongeBob. That a kid would be like, ha ha. And then an adult would be like, that's funny. That's the kind of humor I was looking for out of the Super Mario Bros. movie.
You know, being Jack Black was in it. The hidden adult humor. Yeah, I don't know. There's got to be a name for it. Yeah, it's like the underlying. I just love it. It's so funny. I just looked over at our buddy Spencer and Jake. They're in town from Canada. They came down to hang out this weekend, have a good time with everybody. Everybody goes and leaves, including Mike. And as Mike talks about it. I hung with them on Friday. Yeah, no, CJ and I were here. Even Evan left.
And as Mike is talking about spending Saturday in bed watching SpongeBob, I just watch both their faces look at you and go, what the fuck? That's what he left us for? Yeah, I don't have anything to say, dude. I was booked up. I'm glad there was a book, not a brick. That's what I was going to say. I was booked up with a girlfriend. He's bricked up.
Yeah, it was bummer. I think the worst part is that, like, I mean, you guys want to know something that I could be criminally charged with?
Abandoning the boys? Yes. Okay. Yeah, actually, there might be multiple charges on my account. I was going to say, I don't know if we can say most of them. We can. I will be criminally charged with abandoning the boys this weekend. By the time Mike's going to have a Saturday off, it's going to be like fucking winter. Or 2024. Yeah, dude. So, Mike, speaking of you and your girlfriend, what did you think when that...
When the prank went down last week with the, obviously the, if you guys didn't see it as a parasailor with the sign, Sydney, will you marry me? Micah, we were trying to obviously pump you and Ryan. So yeah, now you got both. I was really interested hearing why I'll just get into it. Uh,
I thought it was hilarious. At first, at the very first glance, I thought she wasn't in on it either. So I turned to her and I'm like, I'm sorry. I'm just apologizing. You said that, really? Yeah, yeah. I was like, I'm sorry this isn't real. I go...
I did not set this up. I'm so sorry. This isn't real. Like you said that. Yeah. I don't even have that on camera. Cause I, it was like, it was the first thing I said, like the first thing, maybe when the camera was turned, as soon as I realized like what it said, I was just like, this isn't real. Like I, I prefaced that right away. Cause I'm like,
I didn't set it up. I'd know if I set it up, obviously. So I didn't know she was in on it. Immediately you knew you were being punked. Yeah. Yeah. Immediately. Yeah. Only because. Obviously you're you. Well, no. You're used to it. I'm used to it, but no. The reason I knew I was being punked right away. Because you didn't hire a
Get married? Exactly. Like, to dumb it way down, I didn't... I don't know who's paragliding. Yeah, but I think if you weren't you, like, if we would have just chosen one of our friends that we have never pranked before that aren't even on the channel and then we did that to them, the same prank told their girlfriend, they would probably be really fucking confused. Yeah.
Because that's what we were going for. And then we were going for him and just utter shock, which he was. So then once Ryan let out his utter shock and the cameras kind of were like, damn, Ryan, this is kind of funny too. Then I was just like, damn, I don't even know. Then I started to get rattled. Because I didn't know how to...
I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what... Yeah, just as much as you really didn't, I didn't know. I had no idea what to say because I thought she wasn't in on it. For the record, the way it got chopped in the video, it went a lot longer. People were like, yo, she could have waited a little longer. It got chopped up a lot faster. But yeah, there was a good two minutes there where we're just like...
I don't know. There was like a whole loop around the boat where nobody said anything. The boat was silent and it was just Ben and CJ going like this. And we're like, Oh, I didn't, I, again, I didn't set this up.
Yeah. So it was awkward. Uh, I told Ryan, I was like, if, if I ever were to do that, um, in real life, I'll ask you beforehand and it won't be so chaotic. I promise. And I told him I'll try to not act so surprised and disappointed. Yeah. That's what happened. But, uh, I thought it was a really good prank. Like I, I, I love a prank that keeps us truly on our toes. Yeah.
yeah i knew it was a prank like right away but there's like more to it than that it wasn't just like oh i had yeah a lot of thoughts in the head a lot of like things that i should that i was trying to think of to say so like i was like very entertained by it and i hope everyone else was too what if he was like planning on proposing you guys didn't know this but he was planning on proposing like next week and then that was a thought in my head or that possibly mike's the kind of guy who was like he was already kind of planning on it and then
He didn't have the ring or nothing, but he was like, yeah. Fuck it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Like, like, he might just turn and look at me like, dude, but even like, like she just says yes. And he just like kisses her and just takes that thing like for a ride. He's just like, okay, we're good. It would have been pretty funny if Sydney just went ballistic, like super excited. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. We were really like, cause that would have made it even harder on me. Yeah. I'm like,
Yeah. Yeah. No, we heard the jokes too. I was like, I don't think you can do that shit if you don't have like a ring. But can you imagine if I did? And then I don't have the ring right now, but I'll get you one later. That's not like it's coming in the mail. You know, the jewelers are making it now. Amazon Prime Jewelry. Evan would have that eBay jewelry. Why buy a brand new one? You save a bunch of money.
I almost spoiled somebody's marriage proposal once. One of our like decent friends, you know, like kind of an acquaintance. Decent friends? Well, you know, like you had the friends that you see and you're like, hey, how's it going? You talk to them a little bit, but you don't really know what's going on. So I saw them at a restaurant and I was going up, going to the bathroom, sat down, went and talked to them. And I'm like, yeah, you guys just got engaged, right?
Guy looks at me like I just, like I spoiled his engagement. The girl goes, oh, no. The evening of that, there was a fucking engagement. For them? Yeah. Holy shit. They were at Zorba's at lunch, and that night he proposed. Oh, wow.
Yeah. How did you know that they just got engaged? I didn't. They hadn't. You're just assuming? I just, they'd been together forever. I was like, oh, it seems like they're probably, I just like, I don't know. You know one of those things where you're like. You just like word blurt that like you think you know something about their life. Yeah. And it just came out of me. I just was like, oh yeah, did you guys just get engaged? And they were about to. Yeah.
As someone who talks too much and tells people too much, I have been in not that severe of a situation. But yeah, like how does that happen? I'm just like. Yeah, you start talking about like, oh, that's so cool that you and your girlfriend got the puppy. And they're like, different girlfriend. You know, one of those type of deals. Why do people come up to you and they'll be like, was she the one from last time?
Oh, dude. Oh my God. And like, God bless my, my girlfriend now, but it happened so many times. I'm like, how is that? I would never, I would never use that line to anyone ever. I would never say, Oh, is that the same girl as the last time I saw you? It's like, what are you,
thinking yeah what's the appropriate answer for that there's no winning but like how is that an appropriate question that's what i said you're just setting them up for a bad time exactly it's unbelievable pretty much like that i mean so maybe that's what they're trying to do ev jam me up maybe they're yeah they're out to freaking jam you up
That's funny. Oh, man. That is a tough one. There's got to be like a psychology term for that of like speaking to someone about their— Saying the absolute wrong thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At the wrong time. Thinking you know something and thinking that you're being polite by like trying to know something about them. That's what I mean. It's not like, oh, did I meet you last time? Or like if you're like, oh, is this the girl you just went on vacation with last winter? You know, then it's like, oh, well, you were mistaken. Yeah.
This one's just a straight up like last time. Just like, is this the one you were with last time? I can't remember. She may be different. You know, you got so many different women. Yeah. Oh, I met you two weeks ago. I know this is actually our first time hanging out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a flub. You're like, fuck my bad. I saw you with a girl. You were with the same girl, but it's like, oh, are you the same girl that I saw you with last weekend? And then when someone knew, like, there's no winning on that one. No.
What's another thing that you just like say the wrong thing at the wrong time? Kind of a king at it. Dude, I am. I'm like literally the reason like we can call back to that. I'm like the reason that CJ, when you were like, why are you telling me this? It wasn't about me. But like I, when you said that, I was like, I am that person. I am that person. Telling someone. Yes. Someone could say, why are you telling me this? Um, all the time to me. Like,
dude, they could. And I'll be like, Oh, I don't know, dude. I don't know why I'm telling you this, dude. I think I like to just like sound friendly. And sometimes when I'm trying to like sound friendly and be friendly, I just in the process, I'm stupid. My,
Might. But I'm just like telling them like things that they just don't know about. Yeah, or don't. You know, or like let's say someone comes here to buy something on Facebook Marketplace. I'm not ruining the sale by any means, but I'm like telling them like, yeah, we got the Papios. We got like six of them. Like we love it. They're so fun. And they're like sick. I'm here to buy a snowmobile. Yeah. I don't even know what I am. Not even fans of you guys. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll catch that at heydays sometimes. You'll be telling some random. Exactly. Oh, yeah. Our buddy Kevin. Yeah. He just is going to bring over the water truck this afternoon and we're going to or this week and we're going to do the thing. You know, Kevin. Yeah. You know, Kevin. No, but I don't do that.
I don't go like, oh, you know, Kevin. No, you don't say that. We say that like sarcastically. Of course you know Kevin. It's like these guys that don't even, you know. No, but that's a good example. It's actually a really great example because I'll actually like talk to people about Kevin, assuming they've maybe seen him on the channel, even though he's not a face on the channel. And then they're just like, okay, I'm not too familiar. You and Ken both kind of do that.
Admittedly, absolutely. Just go up to someone that's an acquaintance of ours that has never met another acquaintance of ours. Let's just say David from Five Nights at Freddy's. Yeah, David. I totally do that. I hope to think that they most of the time walk away and they're just like, he was friendly. I think they're just confused. No, but that's what I mean. I hope they don't walk away and go like, I don't know what the
I think they're just like, I don't know what he was talking about, but I'm not like mad. I don't know what he was saying. I'm sure they're happier to hear Micah talking like that than to run into Donnie Thornberry at the bar. What the hell is he saying? I think the worst thing, and I do this all the time. I've met someone like three times. Nice to meet you. And they go, we met.
You got to say good to see you. Many times. I know good to see him. I did it to Jake. He said, we met in Revelstoke. And I go, well, how the fuck am I supposed to remember that? But we did. We absolutely met in Revelstoke. It's like the toughest thing and you want to be friendly, but sometimes you just do it the wrong way. And it really sucks. And you feel like a real idiot. I do it to Alondra's friends a lot because I meet them sporadically.
And they'll be like, we have met many times. We went on vacation together. And what do you even, what do you, what? Yeah, like there's nothing you can say to that. There's no excuse on that. No, okay. That's what I mean. Maybe an exaggeration. Turn around. Oh, I remember. Jesus. But yeah, there's nothing you can really like say to it and like save it. No, yeah. This is always being a nice person, but. Yeah. No, you just messed up.
I mean, you don't do that, Siege? Like, I mean, I just, like, do just because of the sheer amount of people that we're meeting. Just like the... I don't think I've done that. Ever? Good for you. Hey, good for you, man. I'm more of a good to see you kind of guy. That's smart. That's nice. On...
I don't want to ask anyone how they're doing because some people are having... Like, they're not doing very well. Like, they're, like, pissed off about something and I want them to start... Then they're like, well, actually, this just happened. My tire got flat going here and this and that. So, I'm just good to see you. That is good. That is a good one. Hey, props to people for actually opening up. I was just going to say, like, kind of the opposite. You know when you ask someone how they're doing? Well, when you ask someone how they're doing... Good, man. How about you? Do you really... Yeah, I was like...
I was like, I always hate asking people that because it's the same answer every time. Not that I'm looking for them to elaborate. But yeah, I'm just like, man, they asked me that too. I just go, I'm doing well. I try to switch it up and be grammatically correct. The only reason I do that is because
To sound different and not say I'm doing good. Yeah. Yeah. I do agree with that though. I hate. Pretty good. You just see somebody. You're in the C store. He's grabbing a drink and some snacks for the road. Hey man, good to see how you doing. Oh man, bad fucking kids got.
head lice malaria yeah jesus and they just start going on about something and you're just like ah man i i if you need someone to talk to always be there you know never want to say that but sometimes you're just like oh i wasn't really expecting a bat maybe i'm looking for that too i don't get that no one opens up to me about that stuff
They just say I'm doing good. Maybe it's because you don't have a very friendly face. It must not. They're probably afraid you're going to bully them. I need to shave. Yeah. I know what you did in high school. Yeah. I'm not telling you how I'm doing. Dude, I haven't shaved my beard off since 2019.
Like knock on baby face. Yeah. Ever. Yeah. I want to, but I'm scared because like, yeah, but I mean, it'd be fun, but like, it's not fun. Like having a double chin. I'm a skinny guy. You guys do. Yeah. Yeah. A hundred percent. A hundred percent. Like that's like makeup for your face. Dude. I, if I go baby face all of a sudden, just like Micah has a double chin. Two chin. Yeah.
Yeah, two chins. Maybe Mike never did lose the weight from the college house. He just grew a beard. Oh, man, I just hit it. Like, dude, yeah, I'd love to. I will one day. I don't know. I have a double chin. I'm like, dude, I'll do it for a video. I think everyone has a double chin, though. You can't really get too caught up in that shit. But it's just like. How about the angles? Yeah, exactly. You're looking down, you're going to have a double chin, you know? And that's actually how I look at people, only because I have one. You focus.
You focus on their double chin? But when they tilt their head down and they have a double chin, I go, well, so do I. And that's as far as I think about it. Do you point it out to them? Hey, you got a double chin. Don't worry. I know you can't tell that I have one because I was here to grow a beard. But I have one too. You just can't see it like yours. That'd be so funny. I'd go as far to say I'm scared to do it. I'm scared to shave my beard off.
Conquer your fears, buddy. Next podcast. I know how we're going to wake Mike up the next time he's sleeping late. Oh, gosh. There's no way. Straight for the chin with the manscape. Yeah, go right here. Yeah. I have this picture of Ken. I just found it. I'm just laughing looking at Evan's beard. I don't know why. I don't know. Beard? I can't grow a fucking beard. What is that? A goatee? I don't know what the hell it is. What do you call that? I don't call it nothing. It's kind of like the Homer Simpson. Ha ha ha.
What the fuck? Oh, the whole... Yeah, like Homer Simpson is his old face. No, I don't know, man. It looks good, but when I look at it and think about it, it's really like... It's a cool style. I don't know. You don't think it's cool? You should do that style. By the way you said that, you don't think it's cool? It's cool. It's cool.
Yeah, I'll start with the goatee. I've also never done that. I think maybe I'm just too scared to do anything. You should. I did a mustache. Well, the turquoise mustache went really well for me. Yeah, that was good. There was a Snapchat filter that would take the beard off of your face, and I have a picture of Evan on that back TV. Oh, my gosh. It looks like you're 17, bro. Whoa.
What is that? No, that's why I'm laughing. I look like I just got out of rehab. I feel like your facial hair style is like a 40-year-old, 45-year-old. It's like what my dad has. Yeah, it's like a 50-year-old. It's an older gentleman's... Get that out of there. That's why I was laughing. That's just the way... I don't know. It looks fine. It looks fine. Everyone thinks you're like 20 too. It's like purely the easiest low-maintenance...
Because I don't like to shave. Whatever. I can't grow a beard. So just hit the cheeks a couple times a week. Run this for a week or two. Hit the cheeks a couple times a week. Hit it with the Manscaped. It's just easy. I don't know. If I'm going to run a mustache, I'm going to have to be shaving every day. I'm not trying to do that. He's trying to hit the cheeks. Just hit the cheeks a couple times a week. Okay. Hit the cheeks. What do we got here, Mor? Man, you look like a kid. I'm sorry to do this to Ken. And I think...
I think the beard turns into weight in the face. Wow, that is...
You guys got to shave your beards. That is tough. Something about the stonks hat. It literally just took my beard and then just turned it into cheeks. And granted, this is back when Ken was Big Ken. He has lost a lot of weight since then. You guys need to all shave your beards. How the fuck am I the only one up here with it? Obviously because I can't grow facial hair like you guys. But I mean, it's kind of...
All you guys have full on... I wasn't even trying to transition into that, but I will. I'll do it. You can't say full on. You guys should. I kind of want to do just the mustache for a little bit.
Uh-huh. Yeah, I do too. Ken, you might look older that way. That's fine. I feel like just the mustache might make you look more like a... I think it looks funny. You know, for sure look funny. You look good with a beard. I mean, all you guys look good. I don't know. I feel like it might take some of your youth if you go full mustache. That's why I don't. Because you'd look like a predator? You should do one of those mustaches where it's like...
Everything's shaved, but it's just like that little tiny... Oh, you mean Hitler? You mean a Hitler stache? No, no, the thin line. Oh, a Frenchman. Right here, just right here. You know, I don't know what that would be. No, I like the curl. You get a little wax in there, curl it up, a little handlebar. Is that handlebars? Ken, I think you could grow one long enough to curl it like a... Ken with a freaking Hitler mustache. That's not handlebars. Handlebars is down, right? Yeah, handlebars is down. Yeah, what's the curl? There's a word for it. It's just the hipster mustache. No, it's not.
No one wants to be a hipster. My girlfriend wants me to shave, but I'm afraid she'll leave me if I do. Unbelievable. Well, not all of us look like you, Evan. I don't even... What does that mean? I am not... You don't all have a beer belly and a little slight man boob or what? No, I got that. Well, then we're the same.
Have you missed racing, dude? Yeah, I do. Honestly, I do. Really? Yeah. I loved it. It was super fun. It was like a motivational tool through the week to not get too drunk and try to eat healthy and just like be prepared to be at my best. And you don't have that now? And the actual race itself kept the guy in shape. Yeah. No, I don't think I have much motivation to not be a pile of shit right now. Oh, man.
it's almost like reinforced to be a pile of shit yeah no i yeah it's it's darn near encouraged around these parts dang dude i i hate to hear but the the lawn outside looks good ev keeps that shit mode like he's gotta show up for a race every week he does that i was gonna say hell of a correlate yeah i love it but i don't get it well you won't be racing soon what's
What's this now? You will be racing soon. As you saw, Mike signed you up for Cletus' race. I'm actually unbelievably pumped for that. Yeah, that's going to be great. I'm glad, dude. So, Ev, I think you need to just go in there and fucking cause some chaos. No, I would never... Spin some people out. Drive like how you drive in our...
Just do it there. I don't think... Just drive it like we bought it. Drive that motherfucker till the wheels fall off. No, I won't do anybody dirty that didn't do me dirty. Like, I'm not going to go out there and make a fool of myself, crash everyone out. I mean, it might happen on accident, but that is... I think it's inevitable. Definitely not the intentions. Like, I know. This is no demo derby. And honestly, like...
I'm taking some pride in like, I have never raced a car, never anything. This is my first time. I would love to go out there and do good. Like just for myself, like,
Just be like, I've never done it, and I did good. Yeah, bro. I think there'll be real NASCAR drivers out there, won't there be? Oh, yeah. I was stoked, dude. That's such a crazy lineup. They got NASCAR racers, and then- Gravedigger? People who have never raced a car in their life that are just YouTubers. Nah, dude. I love it. Dude, Cletus texts me before I even knew it was him. He goes, yo, this is Cletus. And I go, McFarlane? Yeah.
I go, there's only one Cletus I could possibly think to know that would be texting me. And he goes, yep. Wondering if you guys are interested in the Bristol race. And then I'm just like, finally, like I was so stoked. Like, you know, we got the invite from Haley, but that was, that was through Haley. And I was just like, I just felt like a,
Just like we made it in a certain instance. Evan didn't know that he was driving in this until the driver's list came out publicly. Well, no, no. Well, kind of, but I got a message from Cletus. Oh, okay. Of saying, what number do I want on my car? And you're like, what? He texted you or what? Yeah. And you're like, what? Texted? Yeah. Damn.
yeah apparently dude might have tried to call but i don't get calls so yeah he does this must run his whole biz off his phone which is impressive but yeah so evan's signed up and i was like well of course evan has to do it because like after the miata stuff and on this and that like you're you're that's true you're a driver like so like yeah let's just go out there and i think it's in one of the first videos when you really started being here all spring we said that you were an awful driver
Yeah. CJ said I was an apple driver. No, it was when we were at the shifter car track in Utah. And you, honestly, I don't know what you were doing. It was like you were purposely trying to lose traction. No, I was trying to mix it up because on the go-kart track, at some point, you're just kind of in no man's land. You either slow down and then get with a group of people and then mix it up. So yeah, my lap times were horrible, but there was no fun for me to just like...
Go for the fastest time, but be by myself. I would way rather be like bumping into people trying to spin Ken out. So, I mean, that's my excuse for why, why I did so bad. I was not saying I was good, but I, I definitely tried to go slow.
Dang, I thought I had this memory of you in the driveway. You're trying to do like donuts or something. Couldn't do donuts. And we said that you were a bad wheel man. No, that definitely happened too. I think it was a light snow in the driveway and I couldn't seem to figure out how to do a donut. Yep. And now you know what? That was what sold it. Because.
Exactly. You know what, Ev? You're a damn good driver now. I'm stoked on this because it hurt when CJ put a couple knives in me. I was wrong. You want to know something I think that really makes you a better driver or what separates you from the pack is you're not afraid to hit the wall. I think that really is the difference. You're not afraid to fucking go head on into the wall. You're good to risk it and push it
To that edge really For the biscuit Isn't that true though? I'd say like All of us could Potentially really Send it like that But I think You have Way less fear Than the rest of us I think there might be Some slight sense of Like False security Is that the right word?
being in a vehicle where it's like on a dirt bike, like you tip over and it's just your body hitting the ground. But for some reason, when you're in like a box and luckily I've never piled up, mind me, I guess I rolled the slingshot. But other than that, I've never really piled up a vehicle.
To like experience like, oh. The jar of it. Yeah. Like I get, yeah. You hit a wall going real fast. Like that's going to be a bad news. Yeah. And that might change my attitude, but. Hopefully not though. Hopefully not. I mean, we're excited. Everyone will just have to tune in. Yeah. So that, that goes down September 3rd. Yep. Labor Day Sunday. We'll film it and put it in a video. It's going to be, it's going to be a lot of fun. I'm glad that Tennessee seems fun. I'm excited.
I'm very excited for you. We're going to root you on. We're going to film it. We're going to cover it. And yeah, try not to cause too much carnage. Try to win. Whatever you want. I haven't caused carnage. I know that for a fact. Whether he's trying to or not. Might burn that place down. So tune in.
I mean, it's closed course. We can drink the Tonys, right? Evan might get in a fist fight for cutting some guy off. It'll be like one of those races, you know, like NASCAR when they get in fights after. He'll take them about two minutes to get unbuckled from the car. He'll crawl out the freaking window, and then they'll just come up and start pushing each other. I think the only way that would happen is if I was truly driving over...
Over my head, I'm for some reason doing very well, and someone spun me out. You'd go in and try to fight him? I might be that mad. I'm cool with you doing that. If that happens... I don't need to be invited back, yeah. If I feel like I got robbed, the guy couldn't pass me clean, and he spun me out, but that's so hypothetical. I'm sure I'm going to... That's crazy thinking that I'm going to be out front for some reason. That's not going to happen. But if it does happen... But if it did, I mean...
Just whatever you're feeling in the moment, let her fly. Don't fuck with Evan. If you get first place, I think we should get a PJ to Vegas. You heard it. All right. All right. All right. And we'll see you guys next week with a shaven face and a double chin. Subscribe, comment, and we'll see you guys next week.
