Ev, here's my car startup. He's like, all right. Perfect. Fun's about to start. Tell Ken I'm coming after his cars. Ken's quick. Nothing makes your girl happy like saying, look, babe, look how unappealing I am to other women. Yeah. What were you looking at here, Ken? I think that picture got edited. Hey, Kenny, you want to come do your favorite activity and podcast? Yes, I am getting some stuff printed out for them.

and then I'll head up there. All right, sounds good. We're rolling. You guys, welcome back to another Life Wide Open podcast. I thought we were not going to get graced with the presence of Ken. I really came around on him, you guys. Ken? As a person? Yeah, yeah, to liking him. Yeah, it's been tough. No, but I thought we weren't going to have him today. It's merch drop week, so he's got a bunch of great helpers down there, and he's got to keep them. Well, it's hard because he can't have a robot's, like,

Crack the whip on them physically. Yeah. He saves that for himself. Yeah, he gets so much personal enjoyment out of doing it. But he's printing out orders. No, no, he saves the robot to crack the whip on him. Oh, yeah. That's late at night. I know CJ understood that. I can't believe we already turned it into us talking about Ken behind his back. Yeah, he's not here. But yeah, you guys, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.

You're pissed off or what? You know, that's a good question because I'm never pissed off. But I woke up all frantic. So merch drop last night. You know, it's been it's been a great week working late. But then last night I was like, well, I'll probably just catch up on sleep. You had stuff to do in Fargo podcast at one.

guess what time i woke up one one yeah that's impressive so thank you guys everyone listening and especially the people that bought merch that are blowing up our phone i know i can turn that off but it's fun to have it on the notifications on for when we get a sale it's cool so i didn't have i didn't have the sound on but vibrate on so it's like sydney says i gotta turn to do not disturb

Makes sense. Stop. Yeah. Whenever I turn my phone on, do not disturb that. Those are the aggressively late sleep ins. Well, doesn't your alarm still go off? I didn't do that because I was like, I told him we get to sleep in today. This will be great. And then I wake up at nine. Okay. An hour, an hour more.

It's just like, I mean, I know you guys are not surprised, but I'm just like, that's almost like a whole nother night. I know, especially for me. Like some, you know, some nights I'm like five hours. Anyway, then Sydney goes like, are you mad at me? Cause I wake up all frantic. Oh yeah. And you're like, I gotta go. And I'm like, Nope, I'm mad at myself. The worst type of mad. Yeah. Do you think that you have a, it's not sleep apnea. It's not, it's not, I'm

Insomnia. What is it? It's a, no, it's not narcolepsy. I wouldn't be allowed on the road for one. And I don't think I'd be allowed to do. What's like the definition of it. It's a condition where you fall asleep very randomly. Like I guess regardless of kind of how tired you are, whatever's going on, you could like, you could be at a concert and you just like zonk out. That's what that means. Yeah. No,

No, no, no. You know who actually kind of has that but doesn't have narcolepsy? Roscoe in Danny Duncan's videos. One of his good buddies. He's in the videos all the time. He was getting arrested for just whack reasons. But yeah, he was getting arrested in one of his videos. They like had him in cuffs and he's leaning up against the cop car and he just decides to take a nap.

Close his eyes. Seriously? Yeah. And then they're all laughing. They're like, yeah, look at him. Of course he's sleeping. That's not a good look, but yeah, he did that. And I was like, wow. Yeah. It's interesting how he's always sleeping. I didn't notice that. That's gotta be induced by something like that's not just like, he's a really sleepy dude. You think it's drugs? Well, I'm not going to accuse. I don't know. Never met the guy. Hope to, but never met him. So I don't know what his deal is. Yeah. It's hard to say, but,

past me waking up on the wrong side of the bed. You guys know me. I bounce back and here we are. What do you think makes the difference between a good and a bad day? Everybody's had them, but like you have a day where you just wake up on the wrong side and you're just in a bad mood. Why do you think that happens?

The biggest part for me is whether you're excited or dreading what's happening. And I'm talking like a threshold, like a 50-50 threshold. If you're 51% happy that the day is going to go good, then you start cranking it up. But if you're 49 or below...

sad that, that you have something coming up today. That's either going to be a lot of work, take a lot of time, um, or other things like you sleep in, you're late. You start to talk down the whole day. That's true. But that just snowballs. You can't, you can't do that. No, totally. It's the same way with like going into it thinking it's going to be great. Like that snowballs too. Like it's just all the, the way you approach it, I think. Yeah. You just have to go through life expecting nothing and just stay even. Yeah.

Don't get excited. Don't get sad. That is honestly a good way to do it. It really is. I mean, you're not disappointed or excited. Yeah. Can you imagine just being neutral? Every day is the same. If you don't know what you're going to get, something nice about that. If you don't know what personality to have or what way to live your life, go with the flow is the most solid option. I mean, true. It's probably the easiest. Maybe. Maybe. It depends what you're hanging around. Yeah, that's true. Look at Ken. He's had a pretty hard life. Has he?

Well, being our friends, being a go with the flow guy. Could be a little stressful. He went along with this. Yeah. Could have had the day off. He did go along with this. He went along with it and now he's here, man. This is actually an extreme version of go with the flow. I'm not sure if Ken wants to be a YouTuber, bro. He's just going with it.

He was going with the flow, and now he's here. It's like, well, he hopped on the train, and he is so far from home, there's no going back. It's like an open wall on the train. You could jump off, but it would be a pretty abrupt landing, and he's just sitting there just like, I wonder if this train's going to slow down. I'm too far from home to go back.

And every day the train starts moving a little bit faster, so it's harder to jump off. But I mean, God damn, he was born for it. I think going with the flow just matters in the situation that you're in and the group of people you're around. Like in situations that I'm in with you guys, though,

Somebody has to make a decision and everyone else is usually happier that somebody made a decision and then we just rally behind it and we just go with it. I do that even with Greta when we're trying to decide something. She's so wishy-washy on where to go and eat or what movie to watch or something like that. I'll just make a decision and usually I know immediately whether she wants to do it or not.

But I think there's something to be said about making decisions like fast and being able to like stick with them. I feel like so many people just waste their time just like not knowing what to do or like, is this the right thing? And I think everyone does it and it's hard not to, but like there's something to be said about just like,

It really probably doesn't matter that much as long as you just make the call and just go with it. Keep moving. Yeah, or then when you get really wise, that's when you make the call for fast decisions or well-thought-out decisions. You know when to make those.

You know, like there's certain things we're making a fast decision. We look back and go, oh my gosh, I'm glad we just decided to do this and run with it. We're better off. And then other times where we're like, why do we not put any thought into that? Why didn't we think about that? Well, there's some, yeah, no, I guess making like a quick decision, but like usually. Or just making one at all. But I think there is something to be said about like actually thinking things through and the older that,

That I guess I get like the more I think about things and I guess that takes a little bit more time, but I try and not put it between like two different options of like thinking about one thing and then like thinking that thought process out more in depth. Yeah. Almost taking the one idea that I guess is in your gut and then further, uh,

engineering that idea in your head. But I mean, for a good example, real quick, you guys were working on the, uh, the, the tall pit bike video. That's doing very well. Appreciate it guys. Really well. Yeah. It's a tandem record for us. We're working with a big wrenches, son, Gavin, uh,

He, well, we'll call him Little Wrench. But you and Evan were down there like helping him out a lot, you know, like just bouncing ideas off each other. And I think that is partially why it went so well. 100%. We rarely end videos where something doesn't break, especially when we build it ourselves, I guess, especially when it's a Facebook Marketplace build too, but...

You put so much brain power into it and it worked out well. Both of them made it to the end of the video. It was amazing. I'm very surprised on that, honestly. Well, I think we've just gotten in so many situations when we made that rail, like that 100-foot rail for the razor to grind on. It's a good example of. It's a crazy idea, but it was just like,

Little thought went into it. And I was kind of like, you know, helping Big Ranch make the decisions on like how big to go, how wide to go and like all these things. And I just wasn't thinking things through straight. And then you end up getting your shit rocked because of it. And I felt extremely guilty because of that. But like, you know, there's so many, I guess, bad.

projects and just like things that we do day to day. But we learn from it. Yeah, you learn from it. But like if you don't actually think out the worst or, you know, the practicality of it.

then things can go extremely wrong. I was just going to say there's a balance, man. You can't rush things and then you can't go too slow though. Like a lot of people go too fast and they make mistakes and a lot of people go too slow and they don't end up doing anything then. You know what I'm saying? And then to like make it even more in depth. That one we did too fast. Like if we wouldn't have had a posting schedule, we would have been like, you know, the dirt doesn't look right here. Let's fix that. So that way there's not the little hump on it.

Let's fix the tabs. But with our weekly posting schedule, oftentimes we will put other things aside that should be considered to make it happen, which I don't know if that's really the right move. I don't think it is the right move. And, you know, sometimes it jeopardizes. Well, the only thing it truly jeopardizes is safety. Other than that, it's just like us losing sleep. I think safety and quality of video, though. But obviously, like, you could have...

two weeks to work on a video that maybe takes a week and a half and it'll only be 10% better. That's the thing. If you did it in one week, it might be 10% worse, but then you move on. I don't know. It's weird. You know what I'm saying? There's something about it though, that keeps us like accountable. And I think like when your back is up against the wall or you're putting a corner, you have to do it. That's when you get the most creative and that's when, you know, your brain power starts firing cause you don't have an option. And I,

I honestly do think that we would probably, if we were like, ah, well, we don't have to do it. We would just be like, yeah, we'll come up with it. And then usually you just don't. So like there is something to be said about that. But yeah, we're like such a slave to the, to the schedule, which sucks. And that's where it comes down to what I'm talking about. Getting more wise, which we are all every single week. Then you start to make decisions faster when your back's up against the wall. You may, I should say when your back's up against the wall, you make decisions better. Well, you only have one way to go.

You have to go that way. You can't go back that way. But it's less of a panic dancer now than it ever was. That is a weird saying, though, that we're a slave to the schedule and we set the schedule. We're literally a slave to ourselves. I sometimes think that. I'm like, what? Well, we set the schedule that now...

is a movement, let's say. But the schedule now is way deeper than us. Oh, aren't you your own boss? What do you mean you can't go do this? I'm like, I can't. I gotta go do this. My line about that has always been that when you're your own boss or you have your own company, you get to set the hours, but if you don't work enough, you won't have a job to come home to or to go to work to. It'll fail around you.

Yeah, I think the thing about it, though, is, like, I think about so many people that, like, sit there and wait at 7 o'clock on Thursday for, like, the post and –

that also plays a factor in it too but like i really don't know if it matters at this point like i think people are gonna watch no matter what and like that's the beauty of i think like the following that we've built but still it is i feel like some sense of like not wanting to to let those people down that are waiting yeah that's what i feel too i feel bad they're like yeah our whole family watches uh every thursday and i just like envision them like when it's late i'm like fucking they're all sitting on the couch i'm like jeez the

there's that you know the Andersons are sitting there and they're just like when CJ gonna get this done man they're probably not saying CJ but when are the boys gonna get their video up yeah exactly which we yeah we get a lot of people reaching out that say that which is very flattering and so sweet but also yeah I mean on a real note

it is a partial give and take with the caliber of our videos now so again like last week's video it was banger or both i mean so many banger videos yeah that uh if they go out an hour late or an hour too late it doesn't matter because they're so banger but i think if we were just doing vlogs

we'd be able to stay on a schedule and then people could watch them on Thursday. People still do vlogs? Like, do people still make vlogs? On,

Unless you're really famous. I feel like that's the only people that can get away with it. I would consider... She's crushing it. Plenty of female vloggers out here. Plenty. If you're hot, you can do whatever you want. The Deagans do vlogs, and that's a great example. I think they should. They have a weekly vlog. I don't know how often they post. They're like the damn Kardashians of the moto world. You can't shit on vlogging, but I'm like...

pumped that we have moved on from that. And now it's just like, it's just entertaining. Like we are living to entertain and it's been so fun making that. Dude, I, I say this as humbly as possible, but I think we're the most underrated like YouTube creators, like for the consistency and the ideas and the caliber, like week after week after week for, for

I would say we've been doing this well for like four years. Like that's crazy. That's crazy. Yeah, it is. Yeah, I mean, I think, yeah, we don't have much to say because it's like I agree, but also we are, I mean, dude, the subs are going up fast. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing. I hope. Sorry, what did you say? I just think we got that.

that Midwest northerner work ethic. You know, like we just started, this is just what you do. You just work, you know? Yep. And I hope one day the outcome of like the thought process like that, it's like when you see a professional athlete, like,

all of a sudden get really good one season. They spent the last three years working really hard to be good at some point. And I hope that the outcome of that is then one day we are recognized beyond our comprehension. The only way to do it. Unfortunately, part of it, you know, I mean, a motocross racer is a great example. Like those guys are, you know, the people who are winning are, are,

sacrificing like 90% of their lives. Yeah, to be good. You guys excited for the Logan Paul? Yes. Yeah, dude, I'm so excited. I'm so pumped. Yes, I am. People will know, I guess, the result already if they, because this will be on Tuesday, but tomorrow, we're watching that. Who do you guys got? Logan Paul, Dylan Dennis. I guess I got Logan, yeah. You think he's going to win, or do you want him to win? All I want is that it not to be a... I want both people to have fun.

I'm honestly like I'm not I won't care who wins both results will be entertaining I think if Dylan Danis wins it'll be even more entertaining but I don't really want to pray or wish I don't wish anything negative on Logan yep but obviously either way someone's gonna get the shit end of the stick on this deal if Dylan wins not only does he beat him

But he talked so much personal shit on like Logan and his fiance. And it's very obvious that Logan, he doesn't take shit talk well, clearly. Well, or at least Dylan really struck a chord that, that really ticked him off. Cause you can just tell he's like angry, actually flustered, actually flustered about it. You know, he's not just like, it's not just a standard shit talk fighting type of stuff. He's like so flustered about it.

We'll see. You guys see what happened in the press conference yesterday? Yeah, I did. Throwing a microphone. Dude, Dylan Dan... So, Logan Pollock stands up, throws like a prime... He hucked that bottle really hard. Overhand? No, he underhanded it, like, quick. Hit him in the chest. Softball pitch? He wasn't aiming for his head. And then Dylan Dan is...

grabs his mic, flips it around, and like chucks it at him. Bounced it off his head, I think. No way. I couldn't really see it. No, bounced it off his head. Like, he had to get stitches. Like, cut him open. Honestly, honestly,

Like what the fuck's Logan doing? He started that. He threw the bottle at him. Right. And to be fair, it's a savage move and it's the boxing game. It's a savage fucking game. So like, honestly, he just got out savage. Like he threw a water bottle at him and hit him in the chest. And then he got fucking whacked with a microphone, a heavy microphone in the face. There's such a delicate balance of being a lunatic and

being entertaining. I think one thing's for sure is Dylan Danis is an idiot. So, I mean, what do you expect an idiot to do? That's an idiot thing, you know? And, like, obviously it's going to help now Dylan probably in the fight because he's going to have a cut that's going to probably be easy to tear. You know, think about that because if he... And then it opens up, he could be bleeding, bleeding his eye. He now can't see out that eye.

Yeah, I don't know, man. That could have been a really pivotal moment in the outcome of this fight. Interesting. Yeah, I was wondering about that, too. If he does have, like, stitches or whatever, it's still going to, like, you get punched right there, that's going to hurt. I think the other thing is, like, he, like, whacked him with the mic and then, like,

Logan didn't even really respond. He just turned away. And then a security guard threw a bottle and it hit him in the head. Hit him in the head again. Yeah, he got like a double attack. Oh, my God. One of Dylan's security. So he didn't even get whacked with the mic. And then he's like slightly covered and there's a small pocket. Hits him back in the head with a water bottle. Oh, man. And then he just turns around and has his face down and runs off. It was interesting because if you're a fighter and you're going to fight,

I don't know. It just showed like the... Yeah, that's interesting. I don't know, like the lion or whatever. The dog in you. You know? Like I feel like most dogs are like, you know, high... They would have just fucking seen red and went after them or, you know, like they would have tried...

But he just like turned away and like ran off the stage. So that makes me wonder like is he... He might even be hurt worse than... I'm sure it fucking hurt. Yeah. You're getting whacked with a mic in the head? Yeah, these are heavy. Hopefully he's not like concussed or anything from it because that'd be even worse probably than realistically having the cut because then it's like it'll be even easier to knock him out or put him down but...

I wonder if that's a testament to his overall or his feelings about this fight. I would say he is a big dog in any fight, and that's proven over his many, many years of being a personality. He's like an alpha, yeah. An alpha, exactly. But I wonder if he feels like he's beat. You can have two alpha wolves, but one alpha wolf...

gets overpowered, and then he backs away. That's a good point. I can't say that I feel like Dylan's an alpha over Logan. But if he won the fight, or the pre-fight. Yeah, he definitely probably won the pre-fight. That's what I'm saying with the pre-fight. It is funny that it came down to, so if you...

and myself are throwing snowballs at each other, and let's say I lob three at you and then hit you one in the chest, and then you throw one and smoke me in the middle of the forehead, you won that snowball fight. And that was the last snowball thrown. You turned away. Yeah, especially because of that. So then just to dumb it down to just them throwing things at each other, essentially Dylan did win with a mic to the head. I think Logan's going to be a better boxer personally because he's just been boxing seriously for...

you know, taking it seriously for a long time, three years. And Dylan just started. Is he MMA? Sorry. Yeah, he's MMA, but he's, he's specialized in, uh, Brazilian jujitsu. So like that's like, you know, takedowns and stuff that it's very applicable in MMA, but you're not going to use any of that. It has nothing to do with it. All right. So we'll watch this here. And, uh, I guess you guys already know who won, but like he started that. Oh,

Oh! Oh, it was close range. I don't even want to toss. That was just... Yeah, and he hit him. It's known that he hit him. Yeah, there's, like, another angle. Oh, my gosh, dude. You kind of got to watch the higher-up angle. You can kind of see him, like, bleeding as he walks away. Really? Dude, I was not expecting that. I was expecting, like, when you're 25 feet away at a table and, like, you're throwing, like, distance. One thing's for sure is Dylan Danis knows how to cell fight. Oh.

Like, he's doing a great job selling the fight. Oh, yeah, his cheek, dude.

Oh, if it's just his cheek, it's probably not too bad. He'd have to be more worried about... Oh, yeah, he got him. He swiped his... And then he's gone. He got that guy smiling. Well, the security guard, to give a little bit of defense, the security guard's pushing his head down and trying to get him away. What happens if you get in a fight at the press conference? So now is that like... Because obviously you punch someone in a boxing match

It's a sport. But you are at the press conference like that, and you punch someone in the face? Is that now assault? Man, yeah.

Or do you have to... I think it probably depends... Who it is? Who's the guy who got punched? Like, maybe just chalk it up to the game, like, this is what I signed up for. I guess that's what I was wondering. I was just wondering that, too. It's only technically assault if he presses charges, and if you press charges on that, I think it would be lame. Remember when Conor McGregor threw a dolly into the van? Or into the bus? Yeah.

My introduction into fighting, like that was kind of right happening as I was getting into it. It was crazy. Dude, I mean, one of the first fights I remember is watching at Dave's, Jake's dad's,

really into boxing fights. We used to always watch the boxing or UFC fights there at his house. And I just remember sitting on the couch watching Khabib beat McGregor and then jump out of the ring and then punch Dylan Danis. Oh, that was... Yeah, I mean, this guy's always pissing. He pisses everyone off. So, like, Khabib hopped out of the octagon

And punched Dylan Danis in the crowd. He tried to double foot stomp him, basically. He jumped and crouched and almost looked like he was going to try and double foot stomp him out of the air. Dude, that was one of the most electric fights, honestly. That was crazy. Because the whole build up to it was fantastic. Obviously, Conor loses and gets choked out. But then the aftermath and all that came from it. That shit is insane.

truly an entertainment spectacle yeah yeah and that's i think was better than anything that's one of the best fights no i don't think anything is compared to that i know i know the atmosphere of that room too yeah i was gonna say i've been smiling the whole time just thinking about it when that when he jumped out of the ring i remember all of us just getting oh my god what's going on

What was more nuts, though, is, like, right after that all died down, like, they're taking people out. We were in this room full of... There was a lot of people, and there was this couple there. And they were fighting. Like, not physically, but they were in, like, this...

verbal argument and it was like yelling. So there was so much going on. It was like this. Obviously we're watching fighting, which is already like you're, you're pretty amped up, but then that happens after the fight. So you're really amped up. And then a fight breaks out like a, a verbal altercation right in front of you. And we were like kind of young still where we weren't like super, uh,

Not that we are now, but we're not well-versed in relationships or how things go. How to read the room. Or even been in many situations similar to that where we know how to handle it. So we just sat there just like,

Trying to look the other way. We were trying to become invisible. It was so awkward, but so funny when we look back. Not that, you know. Bad time to get in a little verbal argument with you. When you got six of us around here. Yeah. Oh, there's a lot more people than that, too. Forever been a meme. Six years later, they got a freaking podcast and they're talking about you. It's like everybody's worst nightmare. Yeah, we're not dropping names. That's all good. But anyway, speaking of beefs, get a text from a random number that says, ready for more golf balls? Question mark.

We are. Yeah. And you know, what's funny is that we actually have, we have hit all of our golf balls into the pond or onto the track. So yeah, I mean, so you could just go out there, pick them up, put them in a bucket for us, leave them by the door. We'll,

yeah it'd be nice it'd be way easier hold on yeah so then the next text tell ken i'm coming after his cars oh and i just respond and again what did i do yeah actually what did i do yeah i don't know why he said that again i don't know if this is actually him but i didn't know what to respond considering this could just be a random person that knows about the bit or not a bit about the

Dude coming over and then us using the golf balls. I just respond laughing faces. That's it And then he says reckless golfing or else a LSE can't spell And I said, I'm actually confused and then he said remember when someone came and dropped Golf balls all over the shop and then I'm like yes, and he said it was me and

I'm going to do it again, or you can do another reckless golfing. People love the reckless golfing. Bro, at this point, let's say this is him. Yes, it was a threat. And I'm just laughing in my head. I'm like, or you can do another reckless golfing. So I'm like, brother, we're doing another reckless golfing. Exactly.

Give it a try. I didn't say this, but I'm like, if you want to threaten us about something, don't make it something that we're already planning on doing. So then I just said, oh, I get it. I said, oh, I get it. You're blackmailing us into doing another reckless golfing or else you'll spill golf balls over the driveway again. Just laying it out.

And then this morning he texted me, you and Evan look like a couple. Damn, now he's going after you personally. Yeah, and I didn't respond, but I'm like... What does that even mean? Yeah, I mean, yeah. And then I was just like, if I had to respond to him, I'd be like, yeah, dude, we're homies. I mean, it could probably come off like that. Nothing worse than having to explain your joke. Yeah, so I just thought that was funny. Like, let's say that is him. I'm like...

yeah, we kind of want more golf balls, but like, don't damage any property. Yeah. He, he could just drive by the 72 HD security cameras and leave them in a tote by the door. That'd be nice of him to do. And,

Anything else? Yeah, that would be great. We'll be captured. We need some more balls, honestly. We do. It was so fun. And it does blow my mind that we went through all of them. I'm not surprised. Cody posted an Instagram video. What we like to call partner language fuck around edits. Yeah, of like a bunch of videos. And I was like,

I feel like an outsider because I wasn't a part of a single one of these videos. Oh, and I felt like an insider watching. I was like, dude, when are you guys doing this? After 11 p.m. Yeah, yeah. And that would make sense. I'd say almost after 2 a.m. sometimes. They're out there for...

fucking around which I honestly you got to respect man yeah for sure for sure yeah if anything if anything that's like what's truly keeping us young but yeah I watched that and I was just like bro because it's not during the day hours of everything else we do keeping you young yeah

It's good that at 11 p.m. you decide to do... I shouldn't say if anything. I should say among all things, that one is the most. I think that is because that's truly coming from the heart. It's pure-hearted. Like, you know, there's truly no gain. If anything, just disadvantage. It's only hurtful.

hurting you. I love hearing Evan talk about that. Like, Evan truly is, just as anyone, stoked on what we're doing day in and day out during the day. But he's just like, oh, dude, you just can't, you just can't beat those just random times that you just come about and you're riding and you're at the pond a couple of tees deep. You just can't beat those. Like, like,

All of those nights, he'll literally then say the next day, just can't beat it. I love that he enjoys that and that you guys do that kind of thing, though. Me too. Because, like, Ev's living here. He's staying at the shop. Like, it would break my heart if he wasn't, like, having fun or, like, enjoying himself here. So, like, the fact that you guys are doing that and you kind of just get roped into it. But, like, Cody and Ev, like, they're just living. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, you're right. It would be a bummer if he was just, like, if it was very, like, platonic.

Or even partially. Yeah, like if we were just, he was there, we're here, we leave. Ev, here's my car, start up. He's like, all right. Perfect. Fun's about to start.

Finally, that idiot's gone. There's some truth to that. The real fun can begin at that point. Hey, Ken, I hate to do this. Could you take off these ads? There's lots of stuff going on. Have you been looking at watches? Yeah. You've been in a shit ton of watch ads, man. Yeah, no, I get emails about them, and then I click on it, and then that's the only kind of ad I get. My ads have been in Spanish lately. I don't speak a lick of it. So do you guys look up maybe Spanish ads?

What do you guys, are you aware of like what Timu is? I can come up with an idea of what I think it is. Those are the most annoying ads I get. Is this an ad? Are you jumping on my shtick right now? No, this isn't an ad. No, but I just, so it's like we were talking about the.

and that the commons and then it offered me like a specific flywheel pulley bearing for the commons and i'm like what on earth that happened to ryan and i yes just the other day so we were talking about uh just ups drivers and their like pay and benefits and how good it is and then the first tiktok is a ups driver breaking down his salary and benefits what

It was unbelievable. I'm not even. Yeah, exactly. We both looked at each other and go, holy crap. Like it was not an hour later. Specific. How do you get that? How do you get that? I don't know, man. I'm not trying to go full tinfoil hat here, but it's a little too much. I don't think you're going tinfoil hat saying that our phone is listening. It's just a matter of fact. I just saw a video this morning, actually, that made.

Meta and Ray-Bans are making a... Those look cool, but I don't know if I want to get on the whole Meta train. Kind of like virtual reality sunglasses, but basically it'll see what you're looking at and you just go like, hey, what kind of camera is that? If you're wearing the glasses or sunglasses and it'll recognize...

I've seen that where they have the cameras in them. Are you thinking about this at all? Ken live and AI technology. That's such a privacy invasion. I feel like this is where we draw the line. Are you fucking serious? Everything else is on a fucking system. Yeah. What like have live stream back to Facebook, everything that you see and do for a day. How is that not a privacy invasion?

That's like back in the early days of Facebook. When you used to take a photo, it would upload it to a public mobile uploads folder.

Dude. Okay. How about when you used to buy something? It was like very short-lived, but Facebook used to publish when you'd make like a purchase and the guys were like buying wedding rings for their girlfriends, soon-to-be-fiances, and it would get posted on social media. Like, so-and-so just bought a wedding ring. That happened with an older...

I guess couple that I know back when Facebook would upload your mobile pictures. Oh, well she sent him a bunch of, you know, it was just sending them to, you know, her husband, no big deal. Went on Facebook. What? Someone uploaded to Facebook. Someone like texted her then, but it had been up for a while. Cause it was like one of those typical situation where you maybe weren't like, I feel like you weren't checking Facebook as frequently back then you wanted.

Maybe only on the computer. And also, if you're not like, if I saw it about someone I didn't really know, I probably wouldn't text them or message them and be like, yo, this is what's going on. I would just see that and then keep scrolling. It's an easy mistake to make, though. Yeah. And that was someone you knew? Someone we all know. Wow. That is a tough...

That's tough. I mean, they're not that bummed about it. They just laugh about it. What are you going to do? It was a long time ago. I mean, true. Yeah, everybody forgot until now. But I do remember that point in Facebook where the status update was everything. And then it turned into, like, way more than a status update. It was truly, like, where I am, what I'm buying. Yeah.

But I do agree with Ken with the, here's why I think the Ray-Ban glasses are an invasion of privacy or a plan to be. So they put Ray-Ban name on it. Cool. Obviously they're cool glasses. I like that. Then I'm expecting the price to be way more. You go and look, the starting price is $1,000.

About $300. Wow, that's not that bad. So that's where it's concerning. It's a fair price. It's like they're... They're just wayfarers. That's a common... Those have to be subsidized. Like that has to be like cost at that point. You know why they're so cheap? Because they're trying to get them on everyone's face. Because Meta went, yeah, if everybody wears these, I'm going to make way more money. Yeah. It's like selling a buck in Crosby.

crack pipe to a crack addict. Exactly. They'll buy the crack lid. So I was just very surprised at how low the price was because they want them on everybody's face. Yeah. They want to see what the inside of your bedroom looks like, Ken. Not a chance. Not a chance. I'm surprised that you're not... I'm not surprised that you already know so much about them, but...

uh, I'm surprised that you're not maybe a little bit into them. Yo, these are going to be amazing for filming pranks though. If you can just, yeah, that's what I'm. Okay. So one thing I haven't heard yet is can you just film with them? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. The only thing I saw was capture dude. Oh my gosh. I,

I can't order yourself a first generation of these. I think there's been a couple. Order yourself up a pair. Yeah, there has been. I've seen them with the glasses. There's the standard prank glasses that always look like shit. They're obviously prank glasses. Yeah, but 12 megapixels. Is that a camera? No. I'm into it, though. You guys can. Beeping red. Oh, what?

You ask Ken if he's into it, but like, yeah, I would love to order a pair and try them. Yeah, Ken, order yourself up a pair. You love Ray-Bans. You love technology. Ken does love Ray-Bans. I don't know how this would make Ken's life easier, though. That's the... Oh, interesting. They have color. Oh, they're pre-orders. Wait, do they have screens on the inside of the lens? No, I think it's just a capture.

oh i think it's literally just a camera on there yeah so that's not at all what you're thinking i yeah i thought i thought it displayed something something up yeah then i think then maybe do you guys remember the oakley sunglasses that use or the oakley goggles that used to do that with your gopro telemetry telemetry sorry uh yeah you'd be like skiing down a mountain right and it would show you your speed and your elevation and the run yeah pretty sick really

I don't know if they still do it. Oh, yep. Here we go. Heads up display. Dude, I feel like expensive sunglasses are out of style. Is that just me? No. They're in the same. I think they're in the little less, but I think they're in the same amount of style as they've always been, but you just have your wares. I feel like when I was younger and first getting sunglasses, it was like, oh, you got Oakley's. Oh, you got Ray-Bans. I agree. Ray-Bans. Those are like you want to get like the nice ones, and then like nowadays, I've

I've never had like an actual legit, like nice name brand. I just buy cheap glasses. Like, you know, I also keep in mind you'd lose them if you did. Right. Well, I don't even think it's, I just think it's just like, I don't know. I think it's just the fact that they can break so easily and whatever. And I don't know if they're necessarily better. Like I truly don't think they're better. Well, the argument always used to be that the lens quality was so much better because

because i i mean if you went and bought like my dad never wore sunglasses he would only buy like cheap gas station ones which suck which suck they still suck to this day and then he bought his first pair like maui gyms or ray-bans or whatever and he's like wow they're amazing i don't have headaches anymore it actually really yeah there's something to be said there but i think he could throw on a

pair of bums blenders you know anything that isn't $500 or $300 for a pair of sunglasses and still have the same effect now like I feel like the cheap sunglasses are now better it's just nice having so many different pairs and colors I do love that that's that's the trade-off I'd never make my parents wore Oakley's and they were snobs about it

not wearing anything but Oakley's. Really? Really? Which is surprising. Because your parents, I don't think, were snobbed about anything. Yeah, and they were like, the only time we're getting a new pair of shades is, and they'd wear them for years and years. But then, I guess on my first pair of, like, I legit saved up

allowance money mowing money to buy my first pair of Oakley's I didn't know shit back then white gas cans no I actually got like brown gas can they were gas can smalls because they were so little I'll probably have a picture yeah I might have a picture I'll find one I could probably find a picture of it and I will

Ken and I had Oakley's when we were younger. Oil rigs. Ken had oil rigs, brother. Ken had oil rigs. We were the big boys. And then I had the gas cans. So we were quite the fucking duo. That's what Ken looked like. Look at the guy. Right there, right there. One more over. Look at him, dude. Bro, that straight up looks like him...

That is the modeling picture. When I met you guys, you guys both ride up on your jet skis. You got Oakleys on. You're just like looking around. I just had this picture pop up in my memories and it was Ken and I riding four-wheeler. Dude, I want to get those Oakleys on the left next to Pebble. Those are like rare, dude. Yeah, those are rare. Those are fire, dude. Two grand. Oakley sells those on their site for two grand. I probably wouldn't lose them, though. Probably wouldn't.

wear them either if i had those i would wear them no ben can you imagine so ben just loves wearing those these are the over the top top oakleys that we're talking about and uh they're quite literally called that you know what the hardest part for you ben you'd love wearing them so much but you're like they keep messing with my hair you got like curly hair and you're gonna have two lines down the center of your head yeah i love wearing them but part it and then it would pop out the top here's a picture with ken

Ken with two chicks and his oil rigs. Oh, you need to get oil. Oh, my gosh. That could be you, Ben. You know, man, that's so fast. And in the state of fair embarrassment, here is me. Yes. Here's me in a pair of gas cans. Oh, man.

At the time, though, you looked cool. Yeah, I was wearing a fucking Jordan shirt holding six walleye. That was cool. That was his Tinder profile picture. It was. I think that was the hot or not days. At least it wasn't Justin, dude. Oh, Justin. I don't think Justin ever had Oakley's. He was always wearing...

gas station shades what's that model called like Sharon's wearing them like moms still wear them they were like aviators but they were cheap aviators when they like couldn't somehow get the design right I feel like I remember that exact picture was Justin's dad bought a hundred sunglasses off of Amazon for like $14 or some you know ridiculous price and it was like before you know you knew what to do with cheap internet shopping so you just bought them

There was nothing else to do than buy everything. Like, when he bought 100 pairs of sunglasses all at $14 a pair? No, no, no. It was like $14 for the lot. Oh. It was very cheap. That's been back when Amazon was like, full quarter. I remember I had a friend that he went to Mexico on vacation, and he got me some, like, rip-off sunglasses.

sunglasses. I got like the spies and then the, the Folkley's and those things were bad, but that's,

But that's what I would wear. Those had some terrible lenses. Badass? No, I look cool in them. I look cool in them, at least I thought. In spies? I can see you being a spy, fella. I have lost so many sunglasses over the years. I bet I've lost 50 pairs of sunglasses. Oh, my God. And I still find them every once in a while. I mean, that's the best part. You find them. I've also had subs come up, and they'll ask, like, do a thing. I don't know what it is about my glasses, because they're just standard glasses.

And, uh, those are flashy. Can I, can I have your sunglasses? And I'll be like, I kind of need them to like, I'm going somewhere. It's sunny. Uh, but I have given them away a couple of times. I always regret it. Cause I'm like, I don't have sunglasses. No,

For me, I'm just like, what do you got to trade, bro? And then if it's good, I'll trade them. Trade up. That's fair. I just have a little last PSA about sunglasses, aviator frames in particular. We're all in the same consensus. I don't know if they're out of style. If you're Tom Cruise, you can wear aviators. If you are someone who looks good in aviators, and you'll know.

If you look bad in aviators, stop wearing aviators. Bro, I don't know if aviators can go out of style, though. They've been around since the 70s or 80s. Like a long time. 80s, I don't know. But yeah, a long, long time. If you look good in aviators, people probably tell you you look good in aviators. If nobody has told you that...

I could never frame, brother. People sitting in their car right now looking in the rearview mirror going like, ah, shit. Do I look funny in these? They just go and trade them in for the Oakley over-the-top FMJs.

Used. $2,000 pair, and they're driving in that now. Now you look great. Didn't Justin Jefferson wear those? Yeah, he got those, man. He seems to always have a new pair of shades each game. I don't know how he's affording it. Yeah, that's tough. I wonder, yeah, it doesn't seem like you think he makes good money.

Dude, Justin Jefferson's out of here, bro. There's something about a guy like him. I think he's planning on just dipping, which I hate to say. Yeah. Oh, God. I feel like he's over the Vikes. Like, he's just like, you know, they're losing, and he's a winner, and he knows he's not really fucking up. But there's something about a guy like...

Like Justin Jefferson. I think Ben has it too where they can just wear anything and they look cool. Even though they're kind of funny looking. Like Justin Jefferson isn't a good looking guy. No, but he's got swag but also a certain style to him that he can just wear. He's pulling it off.

And, like, I feel like I can't wear cool shit. Like, if I wore those glasses, I wouldn't... I'd just look stupid. I'd just look stupid. I really want to see you with those, dude. I would love to see you wear those. I can't do cool hairstyles, for one, because I don't have hair. But for two, if I did, I'd still probably look weird. Okay, there's something to be said, though, about too hard of a change-up. Yeah. Like, when you transition into it, then...

No one really notices. The slower, the better. Sure, whatever. But yeah, if you're just like, one day I want to wear this, then everyone's going to go, that is different. Do you think I could pull off hats if I just changed my entire life? Moved across the country and never met anyone that did TV before? 100%. 100%. You want to know what I want to see Ryan wear? What type of thing?

Being real, you could wear hats if you moved away and no one knew you. And you were okay with never making another friend. Get the big brim. Or having anyone trust you. Put this hat on. No, you're just going to make fun of me. Put this on. Okay. Let's put it on. Put it on. It's kind of weird. Just don't tell me what to do. Okay. See, that does it. See?

See, I'm saying, well, Ben told you to put it on straight and you didn't, but it's not straight at all. But yeah, no, if you want it to the back with it kind of cocked to the side, like, like, I don't know, like this, like when you wear your hat, Jersey shore and you know, but if Ryan did start wearing hats, like, yes, of course, we'd eventually get used to it right now.

I don't know, right? Man, are you telling me that this hat from seaboysTV.com will look good on anybody? I think so. If it looks good on Ryan, it really might. You know what I want to see Ryan wear, though? Those, like, sample pants that we got for the next merch drop.

I want to see Ryan wearing those. I saw Ben in them and I went, yeah, they look sick. I don't know if anybody can pull these off. But then we talked about how they're riding pants and how they have other uses. And now I love them. Honestly, it's true though. I don't know if everybody could pull those pants off. I think Ben for sure can. Evan can. I even think I might be able to. Really? Yeah, but like...

I feel like Ken and possibly you, I don't know if it fits your mantra or whatever you call it. What would you say my mantra is if you had to say it? The way you're dressed right now. A Coors Light crew neck. Yeah, a crew neck and some blue jeans. Wearing a shirt that has a stupid little saying on it. Yeah.

Yeah, you could be doing that, though. I do. Let's see it. It's just stupid. What is it? Which one is it? What's it say? Everything I love to do is illegal. That's a good shirt. That's actually a good shirt. That's a good shirt. That's not a stupid shirt. No, that's a good one. No, I'm just kidding. I like your meme shirts, but yeah, certain people just have the look. Some people got the swagger, man. Yeah, some people got the swagger. Isn't it interesting? I wonder how you develop that.

I think you're either born with it or... Keep in mind, I think partial fashion, it has to match your personality. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. To an extent. And you got to have the look, though, to begin with, too, you know? You got to have the look. I think I agree. But I think that's what a lot of people are scared of hearing. Yeah. No, that's the truth of it, though. Some people just don't have the look. I don't have the look. I don't have the look. Shit, if somebody told me if I have the look or not, you're looking in the mirror with those aviators. You pop them down. You go, my whole life is a lie. Listen, listen. Who even am I? Everybody's got to look for a certain style. But there's not always a...

style for your look, you know, or a certain style isn't going to, you know, there's plenty of good other alternative options that fit your, your, your look, man. Don't give up yet, Ryan. I'm not, I'm in the same boat as you, dude. I can't fucking pull off anything either. I wouldn't say that.

At first I felt honored that you were like, oh no, I'm like you. And then I caught the insult. Both of us. Both of us. Classic. Dude, when Mike got those pants though that were like so...

So wide. Like 12 inches wide on each leg. He looked Amish. Yeah, I mean, that just went too big. Because, I mean, let's be real here. I mean, I used to wear, like, skinny jeans in high school. You can Bobo pick. You guys can roast me. Bobo would pick up both of them. That was not a good time. Why? Because it was so tight on your balls or what? No, I mean, at the time, I guess it was fine. I honestly didn't get made fun of all that much for it. You said those were just tough times or whatever.

They were because now I have to look back on them and be very disappointed in myself. Well, it doesn't help that they were fucking purple. Yeah, there was some purple ones, some red ones. Jake makes me feel better that he still wears colored jeans. I'm like, I used to do that. He was wearing blue jeans, not denim blue jeans, but they were dyed blue. Cyan blue, yeah. And then he was also wearing a blue shirt today. I did notice that. That's what I mean, it works. If you saw me in that, you'd be like, who...

Did you close your eyes today? And you're right. And maybe Ryan couldn't even, and I don't know why you'd want to transition to dressing like that. I'm saying it would take years. Ryan's three years from now, that outfit could be normal for you. But again, I don't know what you want it to be, but no, Jake pulls it off. Well, Ryan's transitioning. I'll be a good topic later. But yeah, we got four transitions out without you guys talking about my transition glasses. God, Mike.

You know what I love about this picture, Mike, is most people go to Vegas and they're like, I need to dress nice and cool. Suit up. I'm wearing my suit. I'm getting my good clothes out. For the record. And you just dress even worse than you normally dress. The last time, or the first time we were there, I absolutely thought that. And then I was like, wait, nothing matters. No, nothing, especially in Vegas. I don't think it matters at all.

Oh, man. I don't know if this is the absolute reasoning, but you go to Vegas, your girl's on edge. You send a picture of yourself wearing that to your girl. That's a good point. Nothing to worry about. Was that a strategic play on your part? You were like, listen, babe, I'm not fucking around. Look at the way I'm dressed. If anything, I'm letting them know you don't even want nothing to do with me.

Yeah, no, it wasn't a strategic, but that's a good point. Nothing makes your girl happy like saying, look, babe, look how unappealing I am to other women. Yeah, see, I'm doing this for you.

Luckily, when we're in Vegas, we don't even hang out in spots where there's women. Like, we're just gambling. I don't think I've seen a single girl in Vegas. Dead serious. We don't go to the clubs and all that. But what about that big group photo you and I took? It was like me, you, slot machine, slot machine, slot machine, slot machine. That group photo we took. With all the slot machines? Yeah. That what you're calling girls now? Yeah. Oh, Jesus, dude.

That's funny. No, yeah, no, honestly, I was going to say, we're not hanging anywhere cool where there's, like, chicks hanging around. Like, I don't know. We're not picking up anyone other than maybe, like, a senior citizen that's smoking next to me at the fucking slot machine. I got to be careful for those. The stereotype of Vegas is, like, guys group goes there and finds a bunch of hot chicks and they, you know, like, stuff like that. We've been to Vegas three times. I've never seen a girl there.

It is solely dudes going there to have a dude's weekend. You start going to places like throw too many purses. We see girls there, to be clear, but it's not like a picking up spot. Like if you were a single dude. Yeah, you're right. I mean, you shouldn't downplay it. You know what I'm saying? But also if you were single, we probably wouldn't hang at the spots we hang. We're like hanging in the, I mean, truly degenerate.

Yeah. Places. Like, otherwise, we'd maybe go to, like, the pool and, like, go to these parties and pool parties and, like, all this other stuff. But back in the day, Vegas was, like, very high class. Like, everyone used to dress up and wear, like, suits and, like, their nicest stuff. And it was, like, very fancy. And now it's kind of gotten this route. Back when Mark used to buy us tables at the club. I think next podcast...

Ken, you should wear a suit. Yeah. What's with you and making me wear suits? I'd just love to see Ken wearing a suit and my absolute dream is to see him in that top hat.

Oh, dude. Whatever happened to that top hat? Do we still have that thing? No, he stomped it on the ground like 100 times. Well, you tried throwing it away multiple times. You stomped on it multiple times, but I dug it out of each garbage can, I'm pretty sure. I never let you throw that thing away. That was a nice hat. It's like a $120 hat. Learn that next time. What? Why do you hate that hat so much? It looks...

Me wearing that hat is like Ryan wearing every other, like, every other hat. Okay, it's not even close to that bad. Jeez, come on, man. I was going to be on your team here. That's not even close. Ken, you look fantastic wearing that hat. I hate that hat. I just can't believe that you hate that hat. Like, it's just so strange. Like, I hate that hat.

You like making me wear that hat because I hate wearing that hat. Oh, Ken, you look good in it. No. I think you look good. I'm not saying you look good in like a sexually appealing way, like you walk through a crowd and every girl is going to turn at you and go, wow, I need to get a piece of that man. But...

When everybody looks at you, they're going to go, damn, that guy is dressed up dapper. I don't see it. That style hat is the absolute opposite of that. Can we pop up a picture? Yeah, I'm trying. I'm trying. I'm not going to lie. That's so good, man. If you're trying to picture what Ken looks like. You're fooling yourself if you think that's a good looking hat. I'm saying not. Don't wear it to a first date, but wear it when you're driving the limerang for the boys or when we're having a night out in Vegas. Ken, I think you got to start wearing suits. I agree, Ben. Fuck.

No. You're a very dapper looking guy. I think you just maybe trim the beard up. Oh, my God. People are going to think you're a boss as soon as you walk in wearing a suit.

I walk in wearing a suit. They're like, what is this guy doing? I like that. I definitely, you should start carrying around like 2,500 cash all times. For why? I'm not even joking. If you see someone open their wallet and pull one $100 bill out, but you see like a decent amount of thickness and you know they're all hundreds, you're like, what is that? Let's mug him. That guy doing...

Can you imagine the first night that he wears a suit, puts $2,500 in his wallet, gets mugged. Because we gave him all the freaking, we're like, dude, you look so good. Yeah, look at how happy we were. Look at how happy he was. Look at how happy we were. Look at what I'm wearing. What am I wearing? What am I wearing? Ken, you look so good, bro. It does not do me any favors wearing that hat. Well, it doesn't help that your suit's a little big. We could get your suit tailored.

Like, let's maybe focus on the suit before we focus on the hat. Yeah, the hat fits fine. Yeah, the hat's fine. That hat is garbage. What was that for, Justin's wedding? You only loved that hat because I hate it. No! No, we loved it before. I grabbed the hat and I gave you the hat. And you put it on. Also, you hated wearing the construction uniform. Remember when we had it there in the cut-off sleeves? Yeah. God, you look good there, too. You look good in that. Look at this one, Ryan.

Those are two fits that really fit Ken's mantra. Look at him. Look at him. Oh, my God. What were you doing with all that alcohol? He was just stocking up in the whole day. Is that for WeFest? Ken dressed like a construction worker for WeFest. Hey, that was the day that we got the no-can-do van. Yeah, that was exciting. That's why we did that. That was a good time. I can't believe we still have that. But you hate that stuff because it was associated with getting the van? No. No.

I misheard what you said. That's why I hate it. You said after the van, you, I disliked it because you got the van. You got to dress the part for it. Well, you can't wear whatever you're wearing. That's right. That's funny. That's like what we do. Literally every single video. Yeah. We got to go back to that, man. I love that time, man. That was fun. Ken getting mad about us.

Putting all these outfits on him and stuff. I feel like we were doing silly stuff like that, though. It's just Evan when we ask him to put on a helmet. Yeah. You guys just want me to wear it because I hate it. Yeah. Sure. Whatever. Just put it on. Yeah. Yeah, that's why, Evan. I don't care about your life. I just want you to be not happy. No, I'm not wearing that stupid thing.

I look like an idiot. He looks so much better with the hat. It looks Cheeto. It looks Cheeto. What were you looking at here, Ken? I think that picture got edited. That picture, I don't look very flattering. You edited it. That was a mashup of two faces. What? No, I have multiple. Like many. Here's one, too. You're still looking. You're looking at it, but it's like it moved. I'm probably looking at his hat. You see a girl in sandals?

You mean a skirt? Look, and then you got the head tilt on this one. Now your head's tilted. I can't see it from that far away. We can make a deal. If you wear the hat and suit in Vegas, you guys can dress me up funny. Oh, my God, yes. We're doing that. I knew you guys would jump on that. That's a great deal. Ken, you got to do that. I'll do that. You're going to wear a suit in Vegas, and we get to dress Ryan up however we want?

Well, not however. You just said it. Not however, just within reason. Oh, my gosh. I would just put rules like you have to dress me like a male. I have to be appropriately clothed. Just like appropriately covered. Yeah, for sure. I don't want my balls hanging out or something like that. Ryan, that is a very loose. I know. Trust me. I wish I hadn't spit it out previously.

He did it for you, Ken. You know how uncomfortable... Ryan, I feel like you're the most...

Like if you were wearing something like with like an aggressive saying on your shirt, you would be the most uncomfortable wearing it. Would you not agree? That's a fine line because I'm the guy who wears the stupid t-shirts. I'm saying aggressive. Like how aggressive? Like a shirt that just says like, yeah, like one of Danny's shirts. Like come in me, bro. Or like, you know. That is aggressive. Just a shirt that just says the F word on it.

Like I could see Evan just wearing a shirt that says the F word right across just black shirt, white text. Yeah. And he'd just wear it. Well, he was wearing the shirt that, that I think you got him, but it says all this in a nice dick too. I did. And he was wearing that in a, in a video. And I, I just go, Hey, you,

Yo, that's definitely probably going to get us flagged on YouTube. I love the shirt, but maybe put something else on. And he goes, you guys bought this for me. Yeah, he pulled everyone together. Yeah, but it's a funny shirt, but.

Also, I'm not trying to get demonetized. Yeah, I didn't buy it for a video or even a podcast. That was like me all day at Hay Days on Sunday. Like earlier that morning, someone traded me a hat. Didn't think much of it. The hat says skinny dips and bong rips. And I wore it all day in like 100 pictures. With kids? Yeah. Nice. I was like...

Why didn't anyone tell me I had this hat on? I'm the one who put it on, but still. All right, so my niece is four years old. No, she's five. She's five years old, and she was asked to draw her family tree. Ha ha ha!

Oh my gosh. And this is a photo of the family tree that she drew. Alex, come here and look at this. Have you seen this, Alex? What though? I want to get your reaction. Which one are you? The little one? I don't think I'm, I'm extended family. Look at that. That's, that's, that's our family tree. A whole lot of dicks in your family, huh? CJ. CJ.

That's tough. She is an aspiring artist. Doing a good job. Apparently the little black balls at the bottom of the shaft are shoes. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Where's the arms?

Oh, I guess no arms. No arms. Yeah, you go, why are there no arms? Well, otherwise they wouldn't look like dicks. Or she's just a grade A troller. They have that shit like hanging up on the wall at school. She's trying to be like Uncle Ben. Maybe that's... That'd be funny if you're in high school art or whatever, you draw that, and then if they get all mad about it, I'd be like, what? I'm a bad artist. This is the best I can do. My teacher wasn't like...

Yeah. The teacher had to have been laughing. Like the teacher, the teacher had to have been like, holy shit, this is going to be, this is gold. Who's the one on the top middle? Yeah. I was wondering why is the one in the top middle wearing shoes on the whole body? Yeah. I don't know.

That's tough. Bottom one's got a little lean to the left too. My favorite's top left for sure. Solid shoes. Solid head. Very defined. Proportional. Very defined. Definitely the longest. Yeah. I guess she brought it home and was super proud of it. Like, look at the family tree that I drew. And then my brother, her dad, thought it was the funniest thing in the world. I can imagine. It kind of is.

What an artist. I thought I had a picture of her holding it. She was so stoked about it. That's one of those things you can't make up, man. No. You can't. That is just the best. Yeah. At least we know how she really feels about your family. Well, I go, I asked Sam, I said, what the fuck's going on? You know what would have been funnier, though? If it was like just one picture and it's just like a nice little cute girl. All the rest of it. And it's like, yeah, my whole family's a bunch of dicks. Yeah.

One time when I was in elementary school, I casually mentioned in passing that my dad was addicted to Coke because he loves Coca-Cola soda. Yeah. So my teacher asked, does he do Coke when he's around you? I go, of course, whenever we're driving, he always has a Coke.

Does he ever have you hold the Coke? And I go, yeah, I go get him Coke when he's watching TV. I do this whole thing, get into the principal's office, you know, family comes in. Yep. I do the whole counseling thing. And then the family comes in and they go, so we need to talk about the drug problem. Do you feel safe at home? You know, stuff like that. And then it came out that my dad has just a lot of Coca-Cola.

Can you imagine the faces of any like faculty principal? Do you remember like what? Like that had to have been priceless. I feel like that's one of those. Them just being like, I don't remember. I'm sure there was lots of laughing, but I do remember it being very serious. Like, do you feel safe to go home? Oh, even after they found out? How old were you, Ryan? I don't know. Probably like first grade.

Yeah, I don't know, like a seventh grader or something like that. You imagine you get in the truck afterwards, and Randy goes, hey, thanks for covering up for me with that whole Coca-Cola shit. Man, that was genius. Oh, my God. I was sweating bullets. Or even better if he said that just in earshot of them as they're walking away. That would have been hilarious.

Oh, man. Good save, buddy. Kids do the darndest things. Speaking of which, pull up that other video I just airdropped you. So this is my nephew. He's seven months old, and my brother caught him sitting on a four-wheeler. Quite the household they got going over there. Jeez. Disappointed would be an understatement. To say the least. Yeah. He looks pretty happy. Yeah, he does. He does.

Well, at least he rides, dude. Repping the stickers, man. I like it. Dude, to find out that my nephew's... That wasn't... Dude, he probably rides harder than you. Probably. Yeah. But he's going to be a quad guy. I mean, look how those guys turn out. Shit. Yeah, I know, right? Yeah, he got grounded for a week. Did he really? Yeah. Couldn't. Can't be having that. Where the fuck do you get that thing? I don't know. I almost stole it or something.

Not only a quad rider, but a thief. Two things that go just with each other. Yeah. And then, Ken, pull up this last video that I sent you right there that's popped up. All right. What do we got going on here? Dude, this is the craziest thing I've ever seen. Uh-oh. Wow. That was the longest crash I've ever seen. Oh, is he on fire? Yeah. Oh, that guy. He should do. Bro, that looks like a video game when it kind of like glitches. Yeah.

You know, like it doesn't know if to flip you over or which way and then kind of go back to the moment when he goes up on it, though. Like, I don't even know how this is possible. Just gravity, physics. Oh, my. No, it doesn't make any sense. Why is his arm out for a second? Like, he's up on top and he almost holds up like a number one. He's like, fuck you. Like, he just won the race. Like, it was like a quick, like, fist pump over the finish line. He maybe thought he was on the ground. Pretty clean front flip, though. Yeah, it really was. Probably did less damage.

riding up on a... And then leave it to the guy to just biff it. Four feet up. Those guys have been running for a while. Yeah, that's tough. Did he face plant? That's tough. Touches his face to the ground. This guy might have came out of that in worse shape than the other guy. 100%. The other guy's a legend. That guy's just clumsy. Can you imagine if he stayed up there? That would be the only thing that would make that video crazier. I feel like the tire's almost like...

cushioned his fall. He came in with a lot of momentum and it caught him, slowed him down, and then let him back down. It was a pretty smooth landing. Like a front flip. Yeah, still was obviously a hard crash and whatnot. But yeah, it really cushioned him. Some wild shit happens. Ken, play the video that I just sent to you. I know we've talked a lot about Monster Jam on this podcast, probably because we love it.

After meeting Ryan Anderson and, you know. Legend, dude. Love that guy. Yeah, legend, his dad at Cletus's. Like, I had no, I knew there was a lot of gravediggers. I knew there was more than one. I knew there was, you know, a couple. This is all of the gravediggers, you know, going out on a run together, which is so cool. It'd be so cool to be there. Every single Monster Jam show, I'm watching his Instagram. It seems like every single one, he's, like, totaling out the truck. Not actually, but, like, I just can't believe it.

Wow. And they basically just all go until they're, like, toast. Dude, I love this. This had to have been so expensive. So expensive! One of them flipped. Oh, more than one. Honestly, they're all sending it just as hard for some of them being a lot older. How was there that many gravediggers driving? I didn't know. Did you get a count on how many that was? At least two, three. I think it was seven or eight. Hmm.

I didn't know there was more than one Gravedigger. Well, it seems to be a title that's handed down. God, this had to have been electric to be there. Which I thought at first... Dude, this guy boots your body up. Oh my gosh, that's a boot, dude. I thought at first that there was, yeah, one, then there was two. Then I'm like, oh, there might even be three. But apparently they just have...

uh probably a literal airplane hangar full of these things yeah i have to man oh my gosh man can you imagine the mechanic this is like big like can you imagine why you didn't even have to wreck there was already six wrecked trucks i love this i would love that guy just literally turned into the jump so he'd roll yeah he was like i'm tired that guy did this they're like we're going for a barrel roll

Dude, this is the coolest thing ever. I love monster trucks. There's nothing more American than monster trucks, especially Gravedigger. At Cletus's, I was asking him, I was like, dude, that's got to hurt, right? And he did so bad. Really? Every single time. He was like, yeah, man. Those big ones? Yeah, dude, there's no way to have it not hurt. And I was like, that makes me feel so much better knowing that.

And I have so much more respect. Respect, yeah. I was like, everything that I thought now is, I guess, true. Verified, yeah. And that is way fucking crazier in my head that you're out there doing that and you're also getting beat the shit out of. You're just doing it for the entertainment of the people. Because we all knew landing like that

You feel it. There's no way. There's no way. You even tip a side-by-side on the roof from just doing a donut. It hurts. It's aggressive. So let alone you're going like that. We all knew it, but it seems like most of those drivers, they never say it hurts. They're about it. They never say it. Like, I've asked a few, and they're always like, no, you don't even feel it. I'm like, what? But, yeah, if you guys... Like, if you haven't checked out, just go to SonOfADigger's Instagram. Like, he just posted, like, an in-cam one, and...

You know, it seems like we get a lot of air on dirt bikes. Some other people get a lot of air on dirt bikes. Like, dude, his shots are just...

He's up in the nose. Yeah. In a stadium. It's nutty. It probably one of the cooler things in my life. It was when I walked up and I recognized them obviously. And, uh, they, they both knew of us. I was like, I almost blacked out on this. I'm like, no, you guys, you guys are the cool guys. So hopefully one day we can go do monster truck stuff. He, he, he asked us, he said, you guys got to mess with my dad. Uh, he's, you know, he watches some of your videos. He thinks you guys are funny. And I'm like, bro, I'm not, I, I,

How do you mess with him? Yeah, I'm like, I'm not going to mess with your dad. He's going to put me in a grave, bro. Yeah, can you imagine? Mike goes up in pants. So what'd you do? I just didn't. I just said hi. I was like, I can't. I was talking to Evan about this, and he goes, I don't know, what am I going to do? Like the tabletop thing where one person crouches down, and then you push the other person.

He's like 59. Mike and Evan tabletop him. He goes, the guy just gets up. He's like, hey, what the hell? And then the son comes. Dad, dad, these are the guys we watch on YouTube. Who? You know, the spaghetti limo? Wine? It's no shocking statement that a lot of country music is the same. Trucks, beer. Yeah. If you hear a country song, what would you expect it to contain? Trucks, beer, women. Friday nights. Oh, I like that. Friday nights.

I saw this AI SpongeBob like music video thing and it, it captured a hundred percent of exactly what a country song is. Ken, go roll the clip. I'm a bartender, just the usual please. Kelp shake with an extra lean. Carry an open bottle when the sheriff's in my door. I'm always hoping that it's you. Now I'm drinking days away at the Salt Sea Station.

And I might be looking yellow, but inside I'm feeling blue.

It is fire. Like, it's heat. It's like Hank Trill, but even better. Like, Plankton's diss track on Spongebob, like, actually. Yeah, if you could look up, like, Plankton diss track. You do realize what you just said, right? Yeah. It's pretty weird. That's a real statement. Yeah. Bro. It's aggressive. Yeah. Yeah.

Shit goes hard. There's a whole bunch of those. Mr. Krabs does it. SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward. Sandy does one. People get crazy over it. AI is taking over. They can do anything now. That's why there's a writer's strike. They're trying to get rid of AI? No, I don't think that's the whole...

objective of the writer's strike, but I think that the writers are trying to have something in place to obviously keep their jobs. To protect them. To protect them and have more rights, I guess, when it comes to that. Dude, AI is going to take, I mean, everyone's been saying it for a long time, a lot of jobs. I think so. It's just one of... It's also just funny. It's like, does that...

Where does that better us as a society? Where did all these people go that lose their jobs to AI? I'm not anti-AI and growth, I guess, or anti-technology. But actually, though. There's two sides to it. It's the side that is benefited by it. And they're like, oh, this is great. I don't need to pay someone to do this. And this is doing it on like...

Like that. And then there's the side that's like got replaced basically. Yeah. Almost the side of if you're running your own business and you're small and you're cool, let's say your cruise, like 10 people and you start using AI and then you don't need any more people. You're like, this is great. And then when your cruise, a hundred people and you start using AI and then all of a sudden you don't need 10 people, then it's not so great. Yeah. Well, I mean, look at Walmart. Walmart's like one of the biggest employers in,

in the country. You know, every time I go to Walmart, there's like less checkout lanes and there's more self-checkouts. 2.3 million employees. That's not even AI though. Yeah.

No, but it's just automation. It's just a computer. You're like the same. You know, it's AI is, I guess, a very, very broad term. But just think, 100 years ago, most jobs people work at today didn't exist. Yeah, true. That's a good point. Very good point. Granted, in 100 years from now, a lot of jobs people think are common today probably will not exist. It would be standing on a goddamn soapbox preaching to the street. Could you imagine? Yeah.

What's the unemployment rate right now? Like, I wonder how much, obviously, the entire government as a whole has a lot to do with the unemployment rate. 3.8%. Okay, that's really- Seems pretty good, right? Yeah, way lower than I thought. It's up with a big spike there. What was that, COVID? COVID. And what did we get up to? 15%. 15% of the country was unemployed? That's actually less than I thought it would have been. I thought it would have been higher.

higher i think that's the people claiming unemployment correct obviously unemployment isn't really my shtick and ai i don't think is advanced enough yet so i'm gonna outsource my labor like this guy did i take the money that i would have spent on coffee and pay someone in india to do my job for me it's allowed me to don't tell ken philadelphia this is the opportunity the majority of his daily work is old kashem

an accountant based in Bangalore, India. I get my assignment from my supervisor and I send it off to Jahanara. Sometimes I'll look at it when it's done.

Sometimes I'll look at it when it's done. What's this guy doing? Accounting. No. Is this real? I don't think it can be. There's no way. There's no way. This is too funny. The first clue is the onion on the bottom corner.

Oh, I didn't see that. I didn't see that, but that was fantastic. Cause the way they shot it, like it was like, I was real. Dude, the onion has fooled so many moderately intelligent people. Oh yeah. I can totally see someone of my parents age, uh,

like some Onion article and being like, can you believe it? This is ridiculous. Yeah. Can you believe the... Well, that happens. Dude, they made a movie back in the day and it's... The Onion movie? It's so funny. It's funny. They open up the scene with like an ad for neck belts and... The neck belt, dude. The chick pulls up, runs like rear end someone slightly and then has the neck belt on and then the head just flies off through the windshield. Yeah.

Well, to leave you guys with something, I have a nice heartfelt story about an Alberta couple who sells off a very impressive...

of John Deere memorabilia. And the caption is, I wonder whose idea that was. Oh, no. Look at the guy. Look at the chick smiling and the guy being sad. That's every grandpa ever. Like, that would be my grandpa, too. Like, he auctioned off all of his real John Deere tractors and that set, and then he just wasn't the same since. Oh.

Oh man, poor guy. I guess if we can give you anything to lead your week with, a parting note, if your girl comes to you and says, sell your collection of useless things, don't do it. And I guess vice versa, don't ask her to do it either then. Exactly. And we love you and we thank you for tuning in on every episode. We'll catch you guys next week on the Life Wide Open podcast. Peace.

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.

I was in the Army Guard, and then I went into the Air Force, and then I met Juanita. Because of family's love. It's good medicine.
