There might actually be a business in that. And this is the problem. Ben comes up with too many good ideas. We have a successful YouTube channel here. Box up to the bear statue. He's like checking out. He's like, no way. It looks like me. We go, who broke all the tables? There's an outline of Evan on the tables with a tag that says dis Evan. All of our kids one day are going to be like, daddy, am I a meme? So I
So I got demoted to back over here then? No, there's no such thing as demotion. I just like to switch it up. Felt nice over there though. So is this the best seat then? The farther you go that way is a demotion? Well, I don't know now that we got you two over there. I haven't sat next to Ryan in ages. Honestly, I don't know if I ever have. People get mad when we switch it up.
Really? Yeah, so get pissed. Yeah, there's like a sense of, you know, coming back, normalcy. It took me so long to come around to, but CJ was the first one to say it. He's like, listen, you've always been on top of it as far as YouTube content and how to edit videos and how to make them, the retention the best. And I was always like, use a new song every video. And then you're like, no, no, no. Use a song that's really good and that people can recognize and then make it a part of, you know, Danny Duncan has this...
whatever you know it's kind of like transitioning and so you did that and then i was like yep i see it i like the chinese the or the sorry japanese the little with the mini trucks that's my favorite one well there's a song for every like situation there is but then reusing that was just like good i was like man maybe i should just start like kind of i should just like pick an outfit or a style and stick with it and i was like yeah that's probably not me
But there's something to be said about coming back to the same song, the same outfit, the same hat, the same glasses. And people, they have an easier time recognizing. That's probably true to a point. Yeah, like you're a cartoon that never changes outfits. That's true. Like in Bob's Burgers, they're wearing the same outfits every single day. And there's something to be said about that. Same for Family Guy, whatever. I guess it's kind of different. But like the super wealthy...
high net worth CEOs like Mark Zuckerberg just wears the exact same thing every single day because he doesn't have to think about it. Yeah, isn't it to like take a decision out of his day or something? Isn't that what he says? Like he doesn't want to spend any mental task. But he also might be an alien. That's true. But I'm saying like, yeah, I guess me picking an outfit, like again, you guys can probably tell no decisions are made.
Hands? Shirt? Yeah, yeah, just grab whatever. But I mean, no, I think there's something to be said about that repeat style. No matter what it is, people, they like to warm up to something and get used to it. Now that we're back to like Carhartt season, you know, where you wear your layers. Yeah.
Do you guys wear like a new t-shirt? Obviously you do. A new t-shirt under your sweatshirt every day. Seems like a waste. You got to wear a t-shirt that nobody sees the entire day and then your sweatshirt. I feel like your t-shirt's what gets stinky though. Like your sweatshirt, if you don't get it dirty on the outside, realistically, it's probably fine. You could wear it. You could run a sweatshirt for three, four days in a row. But do you ever rock just a sweatshirt, no t-shirt? No. Barely.
But that is, yeah, I feel like I get sweaty sometimes. Yeah, that's, I think it's because your skin is straight on, on the fabric of the sweatshirt, which is probably going to heat it up more versus like the shirts more regular, regulates your temperature a little bit more maybe. Nice little science lesson here. No, I don't, I just pulled that out of nowhere. It sounds great though. Because I know what you're saying. You almost get sweatier just wearing a sweatshirt. Okay, yeah. Which makes less sense because it's less layered. I have a little theory on this.
when you wear the, just a sweatshirt, your armpits are not being closed. Yeah. So you're just like touching skin on skin. So you find yourself sweating pretty bad and go like, why am I sweating so bad? I'm airing it out. Yeah. Someone needs to make a sweatshirt that you can wear just like a, like a single layer garment. I don't need to double my laundry. I think,
Because I just like have to throw a t-shirt. They make those. Those like tight fitting. Yeah, it exists. That's true. They just got to put it basically on a shirt. Dude, I just got these cotton sheets a couple months back. Yeah. They're cotton. Just full blown cotton. I'm like, oh, these are great. It's so soft and it's kind of different. And then I'm like, why do I sweat so bad? Not every night, but. Pissed.
Is it? No, I mean, maybe, but... Oh, I thought that's where that was going. No, no, no, no. I just sweat horrible, and it just reminds me of David being like, can't wear cotton while you're snowmobiling or doing anything for that matter. I'm surprised you're not rocking silk sheets, Mike. I could see you wearing silk sheets. For the record, own some silk sheets, too. Own some silk pillowcases. I will never not laugh at you talking about the silk sheets at the Airbnb. That shit sucks, dude. I was just remembering it. When he goes, fuck!
You'd be like, I hardly got any sleep last night. I couldn't even keep my head on the pillow. No, I couldn't even around it.
I fucking hate silk sheets, dude. We went in there. We all put our heads on the pillow. Yeah, we're like, what? Like waiting for him to slide off. I mean, I know what you're saying. I could not get comfortable. Yeah, for a backstory on that, we have to stay in Airbnbs a lot when we travel. It had silk sheets, which I was like, oh, wow, that's pretty cool. He's in the master bedroom, keep in mind. Yeah, I'm in the master bedroom. It's a king-size bed all to myself. And I did silk sheets. I could not keep my head on the pillow, so I slept terrible. Is that real? It was like you'd put your head on it, and it just went...
Yeah, I've never heard of somebody complaining about their head not staying on a pillow. Bro, I couldn't. It was the first time I've ever heard that. It was so annoying. I felt like I was working hard while I was sleeping trying to keep my shit straight. I'm...
I'm a pillow hugger. Like, I always throw an arm underneath the pillow and then I sleep on the arm. Like, I could just sleep on my arm. I don't even know if I need a pillow half the time. You're like a dog. I also could sleep just on my arm if my arm didn't then die about two hours in. Oh, dude, you ever do that? Yeah, it does. I wake up with a sore arm all the time. I feel like I'm just cutting off... Circulation. And actually, yeah, if I'm cutting it off a little bit, I'm, like, chilling. But whenever I wake up and the arm is just, like...
Like, fully gone. Picture being awake and then cutting off the circulation to your arm until you cannot feel it.
Yeah. I don't think I can do it. It's maybe a weird thing. But then when you're sleeping, yeah, you like put it down. You're like, dude, how long, how much blood did I cut off from this appendage? I don't know. Maybe it's because I like toss and turn so much. I'm switching up. I'm left arm to right arm. Wake up in the middle of the night and I'll full on like sit up and spin around and then go back down. Yeah. I don't know. I'm like pretty acrobatic when I'm sleeping. Yeah.
You do fart in your sleep a lot, dude. Do I? Yeah, Vegas, dude. I mean, it was just you and I, so there was no one else to blame it on. Well, that sounds about right. Yeah. That's funny, Ryan. You know, it is definitely going to be me because I've never actually even heard you fart, Ryan. Which is a more disturbing fact. That is a little weird. That is fucking weird, dude. I don't know. That is weird. It's never been my thing. Farting? Never? I mean, no, I fart. It's bad, but like, I just, I don't like...
Rip them out. Make a bunch of noise. I'll go in another room and like... Yeah, that's polite. That's so polite of you. I appreciate that because Ben and Evan are terrible. Don't rope me in. Don't rope me in to Evan. You are. Do not rope me in with Evan. We'll be sitting here having a meeting and you guys are just like... We're all packed in like a tight space. I mean, it just... No. Do not rope me in. I just think it's no big deal. Evan's doing it. Evan's doing it. So I'm...
I'm doing it to get back at him because he's doing it in an evil way. And we're all getting punished by the both of you. I was like, dude, there's something going on with my stomach. That shit was reverberating off of, you know, we work in a tin building. God dang, dude. Like, the acoustics of these farts were insane. Yeah, I was following a couple of rooms. You got to get some, like, foam blocks on the walls and shit just for you and Evan's farts, man. So the foam is for acoustics? No. No.
No, it's just straight to absorb smell. I was talking about sound. No, that's... That is going to absorb the smell? That's what the industrial exhaust fan is for. He's on to something, though. He's on to something. There might actually be a business in that. These are the fart absorbers. And this is the problem. Ben comes up with too many good ideas. We have a successful YouTube channel here, but we have all these great... We could start selling fart absorbers. Yeah. I mean, like, I haven't even attempted to start...
Keep in mind, it's all patented and the design's done, but I haven't even attempted to start selling the wiener belt because I know it's going to keep me too busy. Yeah, that'll crush you.
Yeah, that's actually a pretty good idea, though. Put it in your underwear before you go to bed. The pad? Yeah, like the pad. That's just called a diaper, bro. No, I mean, you're not shitting your pants. I mean, if you're going to wear a pad down there, you might as well. It's quite literally like a diaper just for the smell. Picture Evan waking up in the middle of the night to go get a snack, and you see him, and he's wearing a diaper. He's like...
Quick game of pinball at 4 a.m. You can see him kind of like do a little of this before he opens the fridge. The baby.
Well, what else is going on, guys? I don't know. Who had Friendsgiving tonight? Oh, yeah. Do you guys do that? I'm curious. I mean, a lot of people do Friendsgiving, of course. We have a pretty tight-knit group. Yeah, we had to cancel it for a couple years, though. It got way too out of hand. We just paired Friendsgiving with cool, we can be drunk and destroy things. It's like a mosh pit. I don't know why. Because it's fun. I mean, yeah.
It's so fun. It was pretty fun back then. We broke a lot of stuff. We're kind of out of our destructive phase. You're right. It was actually after the one year. Basically, we were doing our Friendsgiving. We ate our food. We had our time. And then we were like, well, last year we destroyed a bunch of stuff. Should we destroy stuff this year? And that's when it actually got out of hand because we planned to do it. Yeah. Yeah.
We even did it in Justin and Megan's house. Yeah. Someone jumped through a table. I did. Yeah. Yeah, I did. I got yelled at for that one, actually. Well, because it was like Megan and Justin's table. And apparently it's not accepted to body slam through the table, I guess, which is bullshit because the year before it totally was. Yeah. Yeah.
I don't know what happened in that one year. We went from our shop to their house. I mean, that's essentially what happened. How sturdy is your dining room table? Pretty sturdy, honestly. I was going to say, we're about to find out. One, try to break it. Two, the old one, I would have been like,
actually, please break it. But CJ purchased a new one and that shit ain't cheap. Yeah, good luck. I don't know if you guys probably hurt yourself if you tried body slamming through that thing, dude. We do owe Randy a lot of plastic chairs. A lot of plastic chairs. Still harder to buy than you would think. Yeah, and then we got him a bunch of replacements and then he left them here and then they all got broken because we were like, well, I mean, there's these plastic chairs here. To be fair, we did replace his nice plastic chairs with used Wii Fest chairs. He looked at them and he's like, what the fuck?
What the fuck are these? These are like 25 years old. Yeah, we've probably broken like 100 plastic chairs. The craziest destruction night is when we hit a million subscribers...
All of our friends and family threw us this party to celebrate it. And they got us this cake that said 1 million subscribers on it. It had our logo on it and everything. Plastic chairs everywhere. Tables everywhere. Got wicked drunk. Big event the next day that we should have been in bed early for. Yeah, but we just...
we were celebrating 1 million and we're degenerates always have been always will be what what are what else are you gonna expect when you're throwing a party to celebrate being degenerates we're gonna be degenerates at this party right you have to and boy did we trash the place pop up a picture actually no i just picture the i gotta find the video and the three on video dude yeah when the cake comes in who threw the cake at ben
I don't know, but it was so electric. That was funny. Bengus hit with the K. We keep it pretty tame until our parents left, and that's when all the destruction happens. We could not have done that while they were there. They wouldn't have even tried to discipline. Obviously, we're grown men here, but they would have been traumatized.
What year was that? No, they actually were pretty disappointed just because I guess they had worked hard on the cake. I was like, well, you're going to either eat the cake or you're not. And then like, yeah, we broke the tables and the chairs, but I'm pretty sure most of those were ours. Yeah. Like we broke a bunch of our own shit. They were just like...
But why? We're like, we're celebrating. Yeah, it was a great, great cake. But if I were to make the cake, I would have been almost happier to see, you know, people getting enjoyment throwing it around the room versus eating it. Yeah, cake's not that good for you. Like, realistically, we were just trying to be healthy. Exactly. Exactly.
Yeah, dude, look at this place. That's the next morning. That's right, because our parents came over there to like... They were going to clean up for us because it was kind of their idea to have this party with all of our families and stuff like that. And then they were like, we'll go clean up the shop. And they walked in and it was just destroyed. They turned around and left. They were like, this one's on them. We go, who broke all the tables? There's an outline of Evan on the tables with this little...
tag that says DisEvan just so everyone knows.
Oh my gosh. Yeah, that was a rowdy night. He was breaking our shit before he was even working with us. At least he's staying on brand. I am proud to see that our Friendsgivings have really evolved. I think we have a real turkey tonight, right? Yeah, two of them. We used to just go to our college house with as much takeout as we could find. Some of it was Chinese, some of it would get pizza. It was fun because none of us wanted to cook. Yeah, I didn't like it when we'd do...
Alex. Damn. She got two. Well, I bought two of them and then she's... Alondra's been practicing cooking. This is like our Super Bowl, dude. They're like making test hits of like all the food. Like, all right, this is going to be the mashed potatoes. This is the rolls. Yeah. That's pretty awesome. Anyways. No, I didn't like it when we do that. Like just bring random stuff because everyone just brings something easy. And then it was just kind of like a bunch of like...
small things that you just kind of nibbled on a little this, a little that, and then you're just like, I'm still hungry. But there's just like nothing left. Yeah, exactly. It's just a smorgasbord of shit. Yeah. No, I get the vibe. I disagree with the being hungry thing. Like I think we had plenty of food, but it's that, it's that like you're picking away. You're not getting like, you're not eating a meal. The only thing of substance you're really getting is like the pizza that, I mean, maybe like a slice or pizza or two and then like four wings. I don't know.
I don't know, man. Two turkeys, though. CJ's balling out on us. Yeah, that is crazy. It's not that much money. It's like 60 bucks, I think. So maybe they're shooting. I mean, I think they're putting up the most. I guess I bought some Tito's and some stuff like that, and it was...
That's it? We actually got a ton. The C-Store is damn near 60 bucks. We have a shitload of beer and alcohol at the house, actually, because everyone would come over, bring a case to go out on the boat, and then they would go home and leave the case, and then I would put it in the fridge. So our garage fridge legit has... No way. Like, it's fully... Like, no one needs to bring any beer. Oh, okay.
That's good to know. It's going to go expired. There's no way that Ken and I are going to drink all of it. I put a dent into it. Nothing substantial. Proud of you, Kenny. Maybe everyone bring your own beer. I don't want to get into Ken's stash now. What are you bringing, Ken? I have put zero thought into it until about
Three minutes ago. He said he's going to bring some tequila. Yeah, I haven't been thinking about it much either. Greta's been actually on my balls about it. Who's bringing the left side? Apparently, me and Greta. Okay. Is Greta going to bring it? Because it doesn't seem like you are. I'm a little confused as to, you know...
what this relationship between me and Greta bringing the food looks like now. Cause apparently we can't bring takeout. Cause CJ is going to have our, I don't care. I think we're doing like a real meal. I'm like, you can, who's cooking. Am I cooking? Cause you guys don't want to eat the food that I'm cooking. No, like a laundress making some sides. We're making some stuffing. Alex has got the Turkey and the mashed potatoes. Angela's bringing drink, uh, uh, dessert. I'm just figuring this out. Uh,
Apparently we can't smash tables anymore. Everyone's got to bring home cooked food. Times are changing, brother. What the hell is going on, dude? Well, that's only the first part of the night. We'll see what happens. We'll stay tuned. Yeah, Londo's real nervous that her food wasn't going to be good. I always said we could just feed it to the bear that's been roaming around. Yeah. Dude, that's a big bear. It's a huge bear.
I saw one this summer, but it was not that same bear. Mine was skinny, and it was chilling. It waved at me. It was a chiller. I thought it maybe could be the same bear, and he's gearing up for the season. He was over at the Cormont Pub, too. Really? Keep in mind, guys. He's just roaming. Yeah, dude. Look, he's up in here. He checked it out. I saw security cam footage of somebody's house on the south side of the lake, and he was chilling in their front yard. Right.
What was he doing in the yard? Big boy, dude. What the hell is he eating? So then my next question is... I think what's funny about this video is they caught it on security cam. They have a bear statue out front of their house and he walks up to the bear statue and he's checking out. He's like, what the fuck's this thing? It looks like me. My question is that he pulls up to one of the local bar and grills and he's like, no joke at the front door.
At the front door. During the day or night? Night. But... Damn, dude, you got to watch out to get attacked by a bear. I know, you actually do. So again, the guy...
the bear doesn't seem all that like threatening per se still is a bear i'm just wondering like what's the next move i have we live in shoot it we live in an area where someone will some old dude just like well he was on my porch i had to shoot him yeah yeah you're probably right i'm just saying i'm just wondering yeah it keeps roaming around like this yeah i mean that'd be a good mount
My dad grew up in northern Minnesota. Ely's the town. He shot a bear that was going through his garbage when he was a kid. Yeah. Because it just like would always come back and like eat his garbage. Right. So it's like... Maybe I should have outed him like that. No, but how often is that... How often can that happen before you're like, oh, that's funny. There's a bear there. But like if it's back like...
10 nights over a couple months, you're like, all right, somebody's going to get hurt eventually if the bear decides to be aggressive. Black bears aren't normally aggressive. Not normally. Back when I was a kid, we used to go up to Ely a lot, and there was this little cabin on the river in the middle of the woods.
And this guy, this old guy would put out a big containers full of, uh, sunflower seeds at like the bottom of his yard. And then we would sit up on the deck and then every single night, like clockwork seven o'clock would roll around. The sun's going down and these huge black bears would come in and eat out of the, uh, eat the sunflower seeds. Right. And then pretty soon there was this little cub that lived in the tree right next door to the cabin. So there's,
cabin's right here and there's this big tree and there was a cub that lived in the tree and like the mom left or got shot or like something happened to the mom uh to not be around anymore so uh we named it chucky and you could feed chucky oreos what if you stood at the bottom of the tree with an oreo in your in your palm chucky would come down the tree and like eat the oreo
out of your hand. 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.
Are Oreos good for bears? I don't know. It probably wasn't a part of the process. I mean, they eat garbage, so they're probably fine. That's true. Yeah, I remember he swiped at your brother Sam's hand.
Probably. Yeah, because he was feeding and he swiped at it. It didn't scratch or nothing, but then we were kind of like, all right, enough feeding him. Enough fucking with the bear. That's pretty crazy. I mean, probably a lot of places in the country, like our buddy Colin from Bemidji, which is more northern than here, he was like...
Bear sightings get on the news around you guys? Yeah. I mean, for us, it's not that common. They're migrating down towards our area. There's always been a few around here, but now there's more and more and more. Taking over. Which is kind of cool, I think. Yeah. I have a friend that lives in Big Sky, Montana, and he was in his house, and all of a sudden his car alarm started going off. So he looks out the window, and there was a...
a bear with the door open, like snooping around in his truck, right? Somehow, this bear shuts the door and locks himself in this truck. And
And he couldn't, his keys must have been in the truck, so he couldn't unlock it and open up the door. So this bear is stuck in there for like an hour or two. Oh my God. Ripping him apart. Shit on everything. Ripped it apart. Was just like, yeah. Can you imagine calling your insurance guy? You're like, hey man,
The inside of my car is totaled. I'm like, well, what about the outside? He's like, nope. Bear attacked it. That would have been a gnarly video. I think he has a video of it. I'll ask him if he can send it. Pretty crazy. Can you imagine how rattled the bear was? No, probably. I'm sure it was all the shit. Scared and...
Aggressive. Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't really want to be like you ever seen the video when you they let the bear out of the cage and it runs forward and just attacks the camera like it was like a bear in captivity or they saved it and rescued it for a bit and it like comes out of the cage and just pulls a hard left and then attacks the camera. Door may open without warning. Yeah, because they have like this automated. Yeah, this is the one. This is so funny. Oh, that thing was pissed.
Okay, thank the Lord that was on a tripod. Was that a camera guy? No, I'd be trying to pull the door open with a 30-foot rope. So how'd they get it out? If I remember correctly, he had to have a locksmith come or something. Oh my gosh. I think. The locksmith is shaking. I would have just shot the window. I would have broke the window. Yeah.
yeah i'm not sure i can't remember uh how that got resolved or what ended up happening but yeah kind of destroyed the inside of his truck like when i was riding with him he had like like claw marks oh on the door panels i think there were some like bite marks oh that's pretty cool yeah you clean it up like clean up all the shit and everything i was just picturing he actually destroyed it totaled the inside like uh
Talladega night style. Oh, with the cougar. Yeah. Or no lion in the hangover. Right. But check cameras. The cameras that are filming this podcast, make sure that they look good. And, uh, you know, none of us are too far out of them. It's recording and everything. Good. Good deal. Okay.
Check cameras. We got three cameras. Ken's behind. The ones you check all the time. The cameras. What cameras are you trying to get checked? It's like a Patrick Star moment. I was looking through a security camera to see if the bear was at the farm. Oh!
Ken's like, yep, no bear. Sorry. Very specific around here. Yeah, I mean... Scan through 14 hours of footage and see if you can see a little black bear. Greta's family just built a house on this mountain. And her mom was staying there for, like, the first time, like, alone. And she got, like...
that there was activity outside, like on the security cameras. And there was a bunch of bears running around the driveway trying to get into the garbage. No way. So like it's so known that like bears are going to try and get into the garbage out there that they have to have like a cover on the big dumpster. So like when you're building a house, you have like a dumpster out front. You lock it.
but they have to straight up have this big locking cage on it. But sure enough, the bears are like crawling over the cage trying to find like a way in. She's like, oh my gosh, Mark, look, there's bears running around. What do I do? Is there rules against shooting a bear? Like if like, let's say that bear was in your yard here. You have to have like a bear tag. I'd imagine. Yeah.
Did you guys see they're releasing another Gymkhana with Ken Block? I did. Oh, they were that filmed ahead? Correct. I suppose. It just caught me off guard because everyone's like them having one more stacked in there. It's out right now? Not yet. In December. It's an electric Khana too. So if you're looking for some internal combustion, you won't have it. But if you're looking for extreme
extremely high horsepower ripping i assume it will have that yeah where is it i'm just so excited i was like no way it reminded me of like when they released it's completely different but when they released like mac miller songs they're still releasing music but with with jim connor and with um footage of ken block like you either have it or you don't like no one wants to watch like a cgi no uh created version of that so it's just so cool they had it stacked up yeah they would have been filmed out like
over a year in advance. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be weird being like, yeah, this is going to come on a year and a half. I gained a lot of respect for obviously is cool. But when I watched the like Amazon series on it, dude, they, that is a filming thing. They just don't go out there and close down a couple of roads and like do some drifts. It's pretty wild to it.
Pretty wild how much they put into it. I wonder if Travis will continue to keep doing them. I'm sure. I think the next one will be Leah. Yeah. His daughter. For sure. But yeah, she was ripping the Hoonicorn at...
SEMA. SEMA. And it was like pretty cool. Like the car in itself is cool, but she's a great driver. And like she has a lot of years to learn to become the best driver. But I think the next one will be with her. Hoonigan knocked it out of the park this year with SEMA. Yeah. Like all the stuff. They had like celebrities and stuff like come and do ride-alongs. T-Pain was there. T-Pain was there. T-Pain's really into cars though. I didn't realize that. But he's still a celebrity. He's a big, big car guy. And then they had...
obviously Jim York doing the limo jump, dude. Like did you do a limo jump? Yeah. But you see it? He barely rolled through an RV. Yeah. I have nothing like bad to say about it, but the whole like ending of the jump where there was just like no, nothing to it. He's just sideways and he hits the limo and then lands upside down in the limo. What is up with that?
Dude loves limos and just crashing cars. It's amazing how he's just always okay. I know. He landed right on his roof. And then when he's not crashing, stunting limos and cars, he's like...
and stunting mopeds and shit around the compound. I think the wildest one that I've seen him do, if this is what I'm thinking, is pretty crazy, but the one where he just jumped the wagon straight to flat, there was nothing good that could come of it. Yeah, the frame bends. It doesn't make any sense. What's that do to your spine?
Like I get, yeah, you have a roll cage. You've got all the good like Hans devices and stuff like that. But still, the impact is still there. Give them the props. He's just built for it. Clearly, you have to be built for it. Continue being able to do this. I remember when he did the frickin limo jump with us through the RV. That was still one of the most insane things.
And that's like level one. And for him, it really is just another weekend, you know? Compared to what he's doing now, he's really like continued to level up. Amped it up. But I hope, I mean, you know, there is guys that are just built like this, but I hope it doesn't just continue him, doesn't just continue to be him flailing at things and then eventually getting hurt. Like nobody wants to see that.
Yeah, he kind of reminds me of the one guy that did the jump at Cletus's. That guy's got a whole thing. Where he jumped the crown Vic. Jumped the crown Vic. His is more calculated, I think. Like, they have, like, more gear and, like, his seat, like, moves within it. It's, like, more lame, but way more calculated. That dude was out of the car, but, like,
I think Jim's is way crazier, just for the record. But yeah. That guy was like, yeah, I've done this a thousand times. Yeah, but that guy's car, so his seat is like attached to like almost bunchies within the car. So he doesn't have as much of like a... A jar. I'm sure it's still extremely jarring. But like Jim York is just sitting in this thing, maybe with some harnesses. Roll this clip of this barrel roll. When he did the first one... Like he overshot the RV. Oh! Think about how bad... Way farther back.
Yeah. I think he was supposed to hit the RV probably. Yeah, I think he was going too fast. But think about how bad it hurt with Micah falling off that rail. Yeah. That was just a fall. He jumped from that high straight to concrete. So was it supposed to completely barrel roll? I mean, I'd assume. Yeah. They had to have had some good harnesses. Best case scenario, he kick flips the whole thing. They probably have a video of that on YouTube because they have a channel now. It's like it's...
The 199 channel with, and it's like Travis Pastrana. He's got a whole crew of guys with him. And Jim York's one of them. Yeah, dude, I just wondered, like, how can you be okay after that? I know. And then go and do that again, like, the next week. I swear, I'm always seeing clips of Jim York just getting ragdolled. That's what I mean. Since we did, since we were in Utah and he jumped the limo through the RV, I mean, he's done, like, 30 stunts since then. Yeah.
That guy's a stuntman. Yeah, he truly is. That guy has something special. And he's got the name for it. He's built different. Jim York. If his name was like Peter Anderson, it wouldn't really work, you know? Fuck no. Search Jim York on YouTube. Our video is the second one. But if your name's Ryan Anderson, then you're a legend. Bro, I still, I'm just enthralled. We've talked about Monster Jam a million times, but I'm...
I can't get over these guys that do this. Yeah, basically do stuff like this week in and week out like it's their job. Like, I love me a good stunt. Also, a good stunt terrifies the shit out of me. And I like to only do them every once in a while. But when it's your quite literally your job, they're just built different. Alondra and I were talking about that because I did a cold tub last night, which I assume has to kick in some type of adrenaline. Totally.
And I cold tub or cold. Like, did you do the one at the shop here at the shop? Okay. Yeah. So that's cold. Yeah. That's like max cold. 33 degrees. Yeah. And, uh, anyway, she was like, there's no way I could do that and then fall asleep. And I think the same thing about caffeine. Like I could have an energy drink, lay down in bed and probably fall asleep if I was ready. And I think it's probably just the adrenaline we're subjected to, you know, like you could drive around and drive super fast in your car and you wouldn't even get like your heart racing.
But if you took your mom with, she'd be terrified. Damn heart attack. First pull. That's weird. That's kind of how it was when we were in Disney World on the craziest rides and everyone around us...
It was like, oh my God, that was insane. And then our whole crew was like, yeah, that was fun. That was fun. We're with the CEO of Bugatti who's literally driving the fastest production cars every single day. He had to coffee in the morning. Yeah, that was fun. That was fun. They're bragging about the zero to 60 in like three seconds. He's like, yeah, I could do that in my driveway. Probably, you know. It is interesting how...
much we get, you know, how much adrenaline and how numb to it we probably are. When they say adrenaline is like a drug, that means it even more so is like a drug because you can build a tolerance to it. Like anything. It's kind of scary. Which is like unfortunate but also, I don't know, maybe a good thing. But like it would suck...
running our adrenaline up like to our mom's levels every day of the stuff we do. It's like, it's probably a good thing we have a little bit of a tolerance to it. Yeah. And anyone in the scene. I think there, there is good to have a tolerance to it, but also just like with anything that you go up, you have it down. So if you're super stoked, you're going to have a crash and then that crash sucks even more. So if you don't get up and you can't crash as hard down with adrenaline, you got to like, you know,
You can't just be all balls to the walls 24-7. Yeah, you keep adding gas to the fire, gas to the fire, gas to the fire. Eventually, you've got to come down. And when you continue to do crazier and crazier and crazier things to hit that adrenaline peaks like everyone, well, you've still got to come back down from that, and it's going to suck a lot more. I'm a big advocate for I don't believe that there's a –
There's a high for every low or low for every high. I don't believe in that, but I think kind of what you just said, there is still a low and there will be a low. Like it's inevitable. Yeah. You know, as in like there can be like 10 highs, but there'll still be a low. That's just as...
equal to those highs. But I don't think there's a low to every high. Well, I don't know if there's like every single good thing. You have a bad thing. It's not like that. You're saying that. I'm just kind of making that clear. I'm just saying like if you're constantly going up and up and up, like I don't think that's sustainable. Not at all. Especially a way to live. And eventually things aren't going to be going up and up and up. And as soon as things aren't going up,
And you feel like things are crashing down and getting worse. Like, well, you haven't experienced things that, that aren't that way for a while. If, if things have been going so good, so it's going to feel a lot shittier, like coming down. So maybe the, it's not like every up you have it down, but it's, it's like saying that you thought that I was just making that clear, but that does make sense. It's like the less downs you have, the more it's going to hurt when it is a down. Well, like anything. Yeah. Like massive success. And then all of a sudden, like it was going so well. And then now I don't have any money. Yeah.
Or whatever, you know. Like Big Fat Love. Yeah, yeah, the classic. I don't know what happened. You get really mad. I just slapped his voice. That's what I thought was funny about it.
You know, you're a child actor and then you like have a million and a half dollars. And then like by the time you're 21, you're like broke and addicted to drugs. Now that's a, that's a low. You were probably going up and up and up as a child actor. There's the balance. If you were a child actor, would you go to school?
Not today's age. You have to go to school. No, no, no. You have to have some kind of education. You can't just be a child actor. Would you go to school? Would I go to school? Nah, I'd be on online school, like in today's age. Yeah.
What if your parents had one of those fancy YouTube channels where they hyped you up when you were a baby? You already could be theoretically rolling in dough doing toy reviews. How are you supposed to freaking... Nowadays, it's probably easier than ever to not go to school. That's what I mean. You just do this online homeschooling thing and you don't do anything. I think I heard a TikTok clip about somebody was a child actor. Maybe it was Josh...
like Drake and Josh. And he said they went and made them get their GEDs like right away because when you're in high school, you can only work so much. But if you have like a high school education, they can work you more. So they wanted to do it to make them work more. I'm not certain it was him, but somebody like him. Yeah, I don't know about the whole like homeschooling thing because you miss a lot. I think that just comes with going to school like that.
Getting educated is one thing, but getting, like, the social education is another. Can you imagine the first time you get made fun of is in, like, college? That'd be fucking hard, dude. I think it's good to be exposed. I agree, like... 100%. Like, I look at, like... I think it's good to be exposed to, like, varying levels of, like... People. People that come from different environments than you because then, like...
I don't know. It just prepares you for the real world. You know, you've dealt with someone that, you know, just a little bit rougher around the edges or, you know, and just, I don't know. I think it gets you acclimated. Comments on the internet. Like you could probably, even if there's a whole bunch of, I don't know. Well, no, but I'm saying like, you can take those as you will. They can be really mean or whatever. Something to be said about just some good old exposure to the people in the real world. Yeah.
Maybe not agreeing with you or maybe just straight up being mean. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I didn't really like going to school and getting bullied, so I'm doing my bullying remote. Mike. Yeah, now I do all my bullying remote. It's so much easier. I can affect so many more people. There is something about having a...
liberal ass teacher that clearly has a certain way of thinking, whether that's the way that you want your kids raised or not. But like even, even a super conservative teacher that's like pushing their views on these students though. It's kind of crazy. It is crazy. Cause I mean,
you see plenty of kids go off to college and that's when they're like formed by their professors. Yeah. I think college is probably worse. I think college professors go like, these kids are adults. I can tell them things that I feel, but I feel like if you're a fourth grade teacher, like your fourth grade teacher isn't like,
You should vote for. They are now. I think they are now. I think they're like, you're not a male. You're not female. There's more like accountability in like your local elementary school where a lot of those college teachers, they're tenured. They can say damn near anything and they can't get fired. Yeah. But I mean, I think that teachers of younger kids are probably a little more focused on school. They have to enable kids to.
to be whatever they want to be Apache helicopters and shit like that because they can't the younger it gets like teachers are just they should just stick to making sure they know that kids have a smile on their face and that they can read you know among other things yeah they messed up on teaching me that never quite figured out that whole reading thing you were at a disadvantage
You were stupid. Definitely didn't help. What Ken said, though, like with these professors that are tenured, I'm pretty sure that teachers for like elementary school and middle school and high school, I'm sure, are too, though.
to a point after a couple of years because they need them so bad. Yeah. There's more like accountability. Like you can go to your school board, you can complain and you can get, have like, have them reprimanded. Yeah. Like there, there's more accountability in the community aspect of like a local public school or even like a, just your local school.
than sending your kids off to some college where you basically have zero input in that. Yeah, that's true. That's true, dude. I think that teachers are like actually so underpaid for what they do. And obviously everyone would say that, but like if they were paid more, which would just obviously increase taxes and everything that goes with that. But the kids would probably turn out better because the teachers would actually want to be there or may or might attract. Yeah.
Yeah, they... You know, better, more suited teachers. I think the basis of it, no one's ever expected to go above and beyond of what you're paid. You're really... You're not. You're expected to do your job. I don't know. Like, no one's going above and beyond because why would you at...
50k a year but I think the crazy thing is a lot of teachers do I think I talked to some teacher and they were like I don't do it for the money I do it because like I had a good teacher I want to influence kids and stuff like that and God bless them because a lot of people aren't like that so I guess that is the benefit sending your kid to a private school though because the teachers are probably paid more huh actually I don't think really ours were
Really? I think it was easier. Where's the money going? Fucking new performing arts centers and shit like that. I guess essentially the money is... The same amount of money, it's just you're paying that out of pocket instead of your tax dollars paying it out of pocket and everyone else's tax dollars. Damn. How much was your school, Ryan? I am curious. I mean, are you comfortable disclosing that? Like what a year was? It was probably cheaper going to college. Yeah, it was.
Really? Oh, I was thinking. Not with room and board and shit, but college tuition was cheaper. Like what? $20,000 a year? I don't think it was that much. I was thinking it was like $11,000 a year. Yeah, so what are you going to do, Mike? Is Sydney going to want to? I don't know. That's a good question. I mean, as long as there's good private schools. A couple more steps, thankfully. Yeah. Until they get to there. Yeah. But no, I'm not opposed to it. Never know, man. You're right. I got excited there for a second. Yeah, we still got quite a bit of time.
No, seriously. Dude, Mike, I went down a rabbit hole on your Facebook looking for some picture. I think it was you wearing weird pants. And you had like a Facebook...
and it was like going to Lake Park for a day or something like that. And you'd like carry around the camera and just take it full. You went to Lake Park for a day? Mm-hmm. That's a neighboring school? Yeah. What do you mean the day? We've talked about this before. Oh, have we? No, I mean kind of like the way you brought it up was different. Anyway, I just remember you guys thinking it was so scary
It's insane that students could visit other schools when they had like the day off. Yeah, but why? It just seems insane to me that you would want to. Correct, correct. You could go to the Galdang Skate Park or something like that. What the fuck were you doing sitting in classes for a day? Hanging with my homies. Probably being a nuisance. There's clearly a reason that there's no way that you can still do that. Not really. I'd say the friends that went to Lake Park were being the nuisance and I was just a part of it.
He was the instigator. But yeah, it's just like, so you have to go to school five days a week, pre-school,
pretty much for your entire life, what it feels like until you're 18. And then so it's like what's one day at a school where you don't have to do anything all day? I guess it's fun. I guess going to check it out. You don't need to hang out with other friends. Yeah, I was like how is that like that insane? Were you doing it to see like the guys or like going for the chicks? No. It's like the new kid in school, like the new kid, all the chicks, or like the guys are like kind of sizing them up, and the girls are like, oh, he's kind of cute.
A little bit of both. Mostly for the homies. I can tell his mom doesn't dress him because he's wearing a ridiculous outfit. Oh, it's something about those purple skinny jeans. No, I knew most of the girls there too. I mean, keep in mind, I live like seven miles from this school and this school only has like
50 people per grade. So were you kind of a legend walking around there for the day? Oh, I'd say so. Yeah, dude, I was a legend. Snapping pictures. The principal. What were you doing with the camera? No, for the record, like that's not, I didn't, I didn't bring like a DSLR to that. I brought it to the basketball game later on.
And I mean, I'm definitely, you guys are already going to dig in my Facebook. I leave all this. I always, I have been curious about this question. I leave all of this stuff that I've ever uploaded on Facebook and Instagram. I think that's part of my life. I appreciate that. I agree. Wildly embarrassing. Like the stuff that I put up is just, you're going to look at it and go, what?
I wonder if you have to be my friend or not to see the pictures. Well, pop it up. Ken, pop it up. I'm working on it. It's just so much whack stuff in there. But yeah, I just leave it because it was part of my life. But yeah, the principal kicked me out that day that I visited. Why? How long did you make it? Here's the crazy part as to why. I mean, half the day. I made it to lunch. And then he's like, yeah, you got to pay for lunch. I'm like, that's fine. I'll have one of the guys punching their number. He's like, no, you got to pay for it. And I was like,
okay, I can figure it out. Then I can pay cash or something. And then I was like, ah, whatever. And then I like went up and grabbed a peanut butter sandwich. And he's like, you have to pay for that.
and then he's like you got you need to leave and then I didn't and I like tried to sneak into the next class with you know the homies and then you can hear Micah Sandman and they're like oh dude you and then we're all walking in the school and he's like they're crowding around me trying to like cover me up and it was just a weird thing and then he like ends up like grabbing me from the stairs and was like you need to leave it's like
kick me out. Wait, so were you stealing the peanut butter and jelly then? Essentially, yeah. Well, yeah, no shit you got kicked out. Yeah, I guess. I guess, yeah, I was like, that's...
That's the pettiest of thefts. Yeah, but still stealing. We're school funded, you know. You used to steal a lot back then, didn't you? No, we got to be a little more specific. I used to steal a lot of treats from the school lunch. Stealing from the taxpayers. The only time I've ever stolen. I think that's a federal crime. Nice. Nice, Mike. That's a pretty bad example to set, Mike. Good times, yeah. Yeah, it is. No, they say he's not a very good role model, Ben, so...
I think he's okay. Yeah, I've never claimed to be a good role model. I'll shoot you straight, though. You will. Very true. No, I do appreciate that. Also, I appreciate you keeping your old pictures and every decision that you ever made public because my buddy Ryan over here has wiped the internet clean of all pictures of him wearing transitions. Did he? No.
No, I was like, I don't think he actually did that though. Can we find any pictures? I can't find any pictures of Ryan wearing transitions. You had them all saved on your iPad. Really? If you could find your old iPad too, you'd have them. Really? Yeah, I remember them being on your iPad. Sometimes you have to go to like Justin's page and then find the pictures that he uploaded that he forgot to tag Ryan in or something. 12 years ago, I posted on Facebook, directing parking is the most degrading job ever. All you do is get yelled at. What?
Who the fuck let me have a keyboard? Well, who lets you direct parking? I don't think I... I don't know. It's probably something. Two people liked it. Ken and one other guy. I'm picturing you... Were you just driving past someone directing parking? You're like, wow. That's degrading. What a fucking idiot. No, that's very similar to something I could see myself...
I guess uploading my status or whatever. Ryan, you used Facebook as Twitter before Twitter was Twitter. And then you kind of used Twitter as Twitter too. And you always had fire tweets. Yeah, I used to be good at social media and I kind of fell off. Do you guys remember playing Farmville? Anyone play Farmville? Yeah.
Yeah, that was the best, dude. That was like the golden age of Facebook. When you get invited to play a Facebook game. Here's a picture of me in transition. From a girl in your school. I'll play Fama with you. Or when everyone comments happy birthday on your page and you feel extra loved. How many posts on your wall did you get? I used to go off on Twitter, dude. Some guy tweeted at me. He goes, I have no idea who the fuck you are, but all the girls in my high school are wishing you a happy birthday.
That's a mad. Had to have felt pretty good. Had to have. Should we pull up some of Ryan's old tweets? I remember them being pretty good, but I'd like to. Yeah, maybe they weren't. Come back to it and see. I did take a scroll down my old Instagram captions because I used to be good at that too. And I was like, oh, these were actually. I feel like back then it was like more about the caption. I got to sign up for Twitter. Unbelievable. You don't have Twitter? No, I don't.
Well, it's X now. I deleted it. Why? Because I never used it. He had too many insensitive tweets, Ben. Yeah, he didn't delete the app off his phone. He deleted his account. I actually go on Twitter quite a bit now. It's way different now. It's X now. Yeah, X obviously with Elon taking it over, dude. I feel like it's just refined, but it doesn't feel different to me at all. Like when you're scrolling...
I notice, I don't go on it much, but I'm getting way, way more fights. Oh, yeah. The one thing that's changed is that Twitter adopted the same thing that every other social media platform has, is curated content. Yeah, but they don't also... They didn't have that before. They don't really seem to hide violent or things that normally would... They never have. Yeah, that's the thing. It's like live leaks. Like a lot of like...
you know, pretty bad stuff that you really shouldn't be watching, you see on Twitter. At least I do. I don't know what the frick's wrong with mine. No, I have the same thing. You watch one dude and then it gets... I don't agree with it either, especially like the high school or younger age. I don't know. Like, I just don't agree with seeing that. You see some like high school fight and then it gets like 3 million views on Twitter. And then like, all I got to do is sucker punch this kid...
six times and then it's just talking about this too it's like it's not bad for your brain yeah i agree it's like it's not bad or you're saying it's bad sorry it's bad for your brain yeah it's like it just doesn't it seems detrimental to your entire like morale like way too used and comfortable to it yeah i remember when i was like a kid that's when like violent video games were kind of starting to actually become like
more realistic and whatever and and there was all this big debate because then the school shootings seem to start happening more and more and more and like honestly there probably is a correlation between it all you know that one uh call of duty mission where you like walk into the airport yeah everybody else mw2 you know you can win that mission without firing a single shot
Oh, that's interesting. I wonder if they have that. Everybody just goes in there and lights up a whole airport. Yeah, that shit was... In the video game, I liked my TSA pre-check status. It got like way over this now. Yeah, I know. And then you had to pick whether you were going to play that mission or not. Really? Yeah, there's like... Oh, damn. It was...
I don't remember that. A little consent thing on it. Dude, I wouldn't mind hopping on some Call of Duty. I haven't done it in years, but I just feel like it'd be fun. I was just walking through the mall and I was like, damn, GTA 6 is coming out. I wish I had the time. I just pick up a new Xbox, sit down and play it. Let's go. Never.
Never going to. Yeah, why would I do that? Alondra would be pissed if I worked for 12 hours and got home at 8 o'clock at night and then I went, hey, babe, I'm going to go play Xbox until 2 a.m. and then leave in the morning. You should be playing Wii. You're right. Stay active. I mean, yeah, I agree. Definitely. I ain't going to.
I ain't going to have any time to play it. He's wee-bowling. I'm pretty excited for GTA 6. Yeah, it's going to be sick. I saw this, like, this is the dumbest meme ever. It was like, GTA 5 comes out. Do you have a responsible adult that's above 18 that can purchase this or whatever? And now it's just like, cash your card. You're over the age of 18. Yeah, I'm like, yeah, I was like, I get that. But also, yeah, okay, GTA 5 came out when most of us weren't 18. But then I'm like, if you're going to wait 35 years to make another game,
My mom hid violin video games from me.
Really? Yeah, that's why I turned out so messed up. She still bought them for him, but just hid them. No, because when I got my GameCube that I talked about, it came with Super Smash Bros., but apparently that was too violent. What? Yeah. So I never got to play it. That's crazy. Many years later, I found a sealed one. Mom, I'll play with Kirby. And I still have it sealed somewhere. What? It's got to be worth something. It has to be. It's got to be worth like $60. It's got to be worth like $60. Every single GameCube. It's like having a sealed copy of Halo. In my opinion...
Real quick, GameCube and Smash Bros, if there's any game that should ever... Let's say you had one game for GameCube. It should be that game. Yeah, for sure. 100%. I agree. I never played those games either, Ryan. Not because I wasn't allowed to. I just never did. Didn't like them. I don't know if that's supposed to make you feel better. He was too cool for video games. I remember I was always surprised that you had an Xbox. You seemed kind of like the type to not have...
I always loved coming over to your place and playing Xbox, though. We would, dude. Yeah, we would just... It was nice out, and we were like, let's just sit in the basement for eight hours and play Xbox. Yeah. We were pretty good outside, guys, but there would hit a point. It'd be like July 28th on a Saturday, and we're like, we're going to play COD Zombies all day in the basement. Our dad would be like, what the fuck are you guys doing? Dude, I kind of want to do that again. That's what I'm saying! That's what I'm saying! That's just also something...
That was like very short lived in my life, but I had a good time doing it and I kind of want to.
Being somewhat, one might call it, an adult now. Yeah, I kind of want to fire that up again. What better night to do it on than Friendsgiving? You imagine we call up all the girls we got. Sorry, we got to work tonight. You know Justin would be stoked. They can be there, but we would be so having the best time ever trading off controllers. We could all carry around our own TVs in there. Yeah, everyone bring their own TV to CJ's house.
I mean, it's not even that hard anymore. Are you kidding me? 13-year-old me is like vibrating fast. It would be pretty electric. And the internet, that's the best part too. You know, we're not in any sort of city area by any means, but now the internet could probably handle six Xboxes no problem. For sure. Like where back in the day, one is pushing it. Mike, did your parents let you play violent video games? I feel like they wouldn't have let that. No, they didn't. They didn't. And then I was just like, all right, just...
Call of Duty. It's all I want. And then they're like, all right, fair enough. And I'm like, I just play online. It's nothing crazy. It's not tainting me. It's just like... I just bully the kids online. No, I didn't even get a part of that. I was actually... Dude, I was scared to talk to people. How did you even play online? You had dial-up at your house for the longest time. Barely. If I was playing online, no one could do anything. It wasn't actually dial-up at that point. You're just laying out now. Yeah, I mean, it was bad. But GTA was definitely...
behind closed doors type of yeah it wasn't allowed to play gta because you shot i mean i was allowed to shoot other army members it's as soon as and then it's like the worst part is okay oh yeah you you play gta yeah you can like drive cars shoot guns and stuff but then everyone's favorite thing to do ever was yeah you can get a hooker and then you can just kill them afterwards and then take their money that was like that was like the go-to line i'm like that's so aggressive yeah
That's how you explain the game? Yeah, you know that. That's how someone explained the game to me. So like what's Grand Theft Auto like? Oh, you go and get a hooker, you kill them and take their money. I mean, they preface that you can drive cars and shoot guns first. That's like you know that the mom circle. It's awesome. It's so fun. Like of propaganda of mom stuff. It was like, don't let your kids drink Monster. It's for the devils.
From the devil. And then GTA, you kill hookers and I don't know, one other thing. There wasn't like smoking or any like actually bad things. Yeah, what's up with that? Monsters for the devil? That's what I don't know. Well, it's like 666 in Hebrew, like the monster logo. Yeah, that kind of did it. Some lady came up with something. Surprise me. I don't know if she came up with it. She had to be crazy. I think like that, once I like looked a little more into it, I'm like, well, maybe it is. And maybe they did do that. I hope they're not devil worshipers. I like the brand, but...
Yeah, I did look that up. So I drink Celsius now. When I was growing up, anything that I couldn't do, I just had to go over to CJ's house and I could. You know, he's the older cousin. Pop, Pop-Tarts.
candy candy pop rocks pop rocks and then just like aggressive video games right so cj introduced me to live and so i sit down in his bedroom because you got a tv in your bedroom too which i also like couldn't have i sit down and and he puts the headset on and he goes all right
Tell me what they're saying. They're saying this, this. Okay, now say this back. Just something so aggressive and vulgar. I have a friend like that too. Yeah, and I'm like, what am I doing right now? And he goes, talking shit. That's what I mean. I was terrified to do that. Okay, what'd they say back? Oh, this is what they said back. Oh, okay.
Go after their mom. Say this about their mom. You know it's coming across in Ben's voice. Yeah, and then they would go like, you sound like a 12-year-old boy whose balls haven't dropped yet. And I'm like, okay, fuck, he's on to me. He's on to me. He said I'm a 12-year-old. I'm 10. Yeah, those were good times. Those were good times. I feel like either people can just like, they can do that or they're not. Like, they can talk shit on games or they can't.
That just was like too non-confrontational. Dude, I follow some pretty funny streamers that do that. There's like this one guy who he pitches up his voice and then, you know, the way he speaks, he sounds like a kid, but also like he knows all the lingo. So he's like hitting on girls or roasting guys. Yeah, and it's so funny because he like sounds like a kid. They're like, damn, dude, there's 10.
year old is like roasting you right now. And then there's this other call duty DJ. He's got this crazy soundboard. And so whenever anyone says anything, he has the best meme response to every single one. Like he's, he's pretending to have like a big stream. He's just like, yo guys, this, this guy's literally trying to like, you know what I mean? Chat, are you seeing this right now? And the guy's like, are you streaming? Like, Oh, thanks for the a hundred dollars. A hundred dollars for 10 meows. Meow.
Does 10 of them. And the people that are playing are like, dude, stop. It's hilarious. People are making a good living Twitch streaming, trolling people on Call of Duty. It's insane. I want to get one of those streaming race setups here basically as an excuse to play video games because then I can say it's work. 100%. Let's get one. Would people watch a stream? You think? No. No. I think we would use it. I think we would play it. No, the people would 100% watch it, but I don't know if we should be. Oh.
Yeah, I don't think we should be streaming. Well, I don't know. It's hard to say. I don't know. We should have had Evan in one of those before we took him to Bristol. That wouldn't have helped. We should have just told him where the right pedal was. Dude, we should have put Micah in one of those before he spent $30K on a drift car.
That's why I'm trying to get one. I talk to some people that have a true drift setup and they're like, yeah, I saved a lot of money with one of those because then I learned how to drive. But you already spent the money so you might as well drive it. Here you go. You could have bought this instead. Oh my gosh. $30,000 drift. I'd assume that one moves. Yeah, full motion. Stage five.
Wow. That's crazy. And I'm not trying to buy a simulator at the same price of the drift car in place of the drift car. Well, I mean, you haven't driven your drift car just sitting out there in a snow bank. Yeah, true. Wait, we have banks of snow outside? Mike, I think you should buy that.
Hell yeah. Send Mike the link. So he has that tonight at Friendsgiving after a couple drinky poos. I accidentally buy a $30,000. I don't think it'd be an accident. You got the space for it. I'm not worried about the space. Hell yeah, I got the space for it. Just in Micah's office.
I got a space for it. Oh, that would be bad. I was thinking you put it at his house, but yeah. You could put it in your other room at your other house. Correct. That's true. At the lake. Then I'll use it. That'd be great. I only go over there. Hopping in the sim, boys.
Dude, I have so much respect for these streamers. They're so good. They're so good. I always thought it was kind of a gimmick, but a lot of them, actually not a lot of them. Some of them are fantastic. Yeah. I show Speed. Jinxie. Jinxie I really like. He's kind of weird. It's kind of on the come up. Yeah. I mean, streaming seems to be more of the new thing. I actually watched Nelk.
they were doing like a live stream and I tuned into it and it's like weird not really doing anything but you just kind of keep watching it's really weird you're like something's gonna happen there's something to it the fact that it's live I don't know but if you were to tune into a YouTube video of someone doing nothing you'd be like I'm not watching this it's kind of like live PD when they flip around to the cameras and nothing happens for 90% of it but if you catch the 1% of gold and that's probably a big reason why people watch I'm like in between like
I think that if you're streaming, you don't have to have this big plan. You know, like even our podcast isn't like that. You don't need to have this big like list of, all right, here's what I'm going to do. But you also, I remember when like Andy Milonakis, he just is like, I'm going to stream all the hours I'm awake. I'm
I'm just going to stream the whole time. And it was really boring. I mean, and even on the highlights, it was like, okay. It's because you did it too much. Yeah, exactly. So the whole, like, just stream everything all the time. You got to do stuff too. Like, these streamers are taking it. They're putting it into, like, a production. Like,
They're planning their streams. At least. Like, it's a video. Granted, it's live, but, like, they have things that are going to come in that, like, they're going to do on the stream. Like, Kaisenat just did, like, a seven days in, he called it, and they went to, like, I think it was an abandoned jail, and he had, like, Drewski with him, like...
Christiane Rock, whatever her name is. Like a bunch of just like other, and like they're in their jumpsuits and they're living like they're in prison except it's live streamed and it's like pretty entertaining. Do they live stream 24 hours a day for seven days? Pretty sure. That is incredible. I don't know. I didn't tune in, but pretty sure. Like I say, I don't have the time to do it, but that is cool. A dude that I actually, uh, I guess we all know him from, uh,
the neighboring town that moved to LA got in on that. Private school fella. Yeah, he was from private school, but his tattoo's all over his face now, so he fit in perfectly as like, I'm sure they did the casting and they're like, oh, this guy's great. He's a nice guy too, so I'm sure it's perfect. But yeah,
But he's got the look. Yeah, you got the look for that kind of production. I guess I wonder what it is like to stream and having that constant, like, I need to be entertaining feeling. Because the more you are... I feel so uncomfortable on live stream. I'd be like, this is boring. I don't want to bore people. I just wonder, like...
you can lose your authentism really fast because... Authentism? Yeah. Authentism. Authentism. Authentism. I think you have authenticism. I think I do too. When you can't throw. When you, you can lose that really fast because the more extra you are, the more donations. I mean, it's like the more...
you are, the more donations. So your low moments have no donations and then you're doing something and you're like, I don't even know what I was doing and it wasn't even like something I normally do but I got a bunch of donations. Yeah, I like this hype behind it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of like when we film with someone who's not used to being on camera, like they're ready to like ride a dirt bike off a cliff. Like, I don't care, I'll do anything because you get all jacked up from the camera. It's like kind of that same, I'm sure, even more so because now you have people watching live so you're like, I don't even have a chance to think about it.
I think it's a big thing that is only going to get bigger, though. So maybe we got to do it. Aiden Ross is making $10 million a year from kick. Oh, but he's a punk. I'm pretty sure he's a punk, though. Aiden Ross? Yeah. I think they all are, man. Is that just salary? Because they do, like, deals with them. So you're not even getting paid for, like, I'm sure, obviously, you have, like,
how many streams you have to do, but they'll, like, pay you up front. I mean, fuck, they're getting paid more than, like, pro athletes. Dean Ross is making more than, like, movie stars. Yeah, live streaming. But they're pretty entertaining. They know how to do it. There's art to the craft. For sure. It does surprise me. I'm sure it's once you get your credit card info in and stuff like that, it's a lot easier, and you're paying for, like, a shout-out, stuff like that. But I just could not see...
watching television or a video and being like, I want to just throw in a dollar here. I just want to throw in a dollar here. I could see Mike doing it though. Throwing in a dollar? Yeah. Or live streaming. No, like when you're watching a live stream and you start donating for some meows and shit. I never have, but if you were watching, you were watching though. But I think David did it for that Harry Mack guy who's a rapper. And then he got a song with like the things that he suggested. So that's kind of cool. I think he was freestyling.
Bro, I forgot about that. That's kind of cool. I got to pay five bucks for that. A lot of Omegle streamers as well. So again, they're Twitch streaming or streaming on whatever platform they choose. Omegle, as far as I know, just shut down. My boy Harry Mack. No, it didn't. Yeah, I saw that. What? Yeah. So my boy Harry Mack, he's always on there. He makes Omegle bars. He just came out with his number 100. It is Omegle, right? Omegle, Omegle. I don't know. I've heard both. Okay. But that's just like one of his bigger things. Like he does a bunch of stuff, but...
Just no longer. Just can't do it anymore. Someone will come out with another thing. Is that the thing that you'd pop up random people and then half the time they were super perverted guys? 90% dicks. That's the other crazy part. I just saw a tweet or something that was just like,
um the amount of the amount of underage people who've been flashed on omegle yeah insane they've been around a long time i remember going on omegle back before like computers had a camera on them so like i had a buddy who had a freaking actual webcam like a $30 webcam you get from best buy and plug in the usb and like he was who introduced me to it and it was like funny you know we'd like play pranks and shit yeah
I do remember that, like buying a separate webcam just so you could go on it. So what's going on with these guys that are sitting there jerking off? Like something, they got a weird kink about it. We don't talk about them. No, but like what are they hoping, like what's going on? What are they doing? I'm pretty sure middle school, we were all, like when I did it, it was probably like, oh, we might see a girl on here that we can pass. That too, yeah. Like when you go on, you're like hoping to like get like a chick as a kid. Mike.
We don't talk about that. No, that was the thing. Everyone was always like, what's up with the 80% of people with their dicks out? Is it that much? Not at the time. Not now. At the time, it genuinely felt like it. Why would you even take that risk? It was just a very normal thing. You're just like, skip.
Yeah, you'd get used to it. You would get used to it. That's the thing. It's fun to troll people on there. You would never stop on the guy with his dick out and be like, let's troll this guy. Really? You wouldn't restrain. No, no. You're fucking funny. No, because they also. You would just kill that guy's boner. Exactly. Like, if you did it right. So then it's like, you're funny. And then just out of habit, you accidentally click skip on the one chick. Right. No, but it was fun when you, like, met, like, another group of people. Oh.
And they're like, oh, yeah, we just got home from the football game. Dude, Mike, you fucking love socializing, bro. I do. Always have. I love it. And the craziest part is that when I was a kid, I mean, that's not what I love, but...
When I was a kid, I was so shy, dude. I was so shy. I was like, grab my mom's leg, hide behind it, shy. And then when I was like too old to do that, still just do the same thing. But I was just, eh. Just bigger. Don't want to talk. I don't want to talk to anyone. Interesting. Just bigger. I'd do the same thing. Just bigger. Hide behind his mom's leg.
Yeah, no, once your head gets butt level, you can't do that. So then what? Did she start punting you off or what? No, she just said you need to...
Not be so shy. Oh, really? No one wants a kid to be shy. And you were like, nice, okay, cool. Yeah. So then what? You started wearing purple pants. I don't know. I mean, you're wearing purple pants. You don't have a chance or you don't have a choice but to be outgoing. I don't know, but I really truly became outgoing when we started this channel. The YouTube channel? It was like super sociable before, but now with the YouTube channel, now it's like, to me, nothing matters besides just being the most best person
the best talker, the best listener that I can be. Why? Because more people come up and talk to you mostly? Yeah, because of the experiences. I mean, like I said, heydays, we talk to a thousand people in one day. Who does that?
It's an incredible gift. I've chalked a lot of life experiences up, especially us being Midwest nice, to awkward scenarios where it just takes someone to have some initiative. A lot of situations in life, you're being a little nice saying something to me, and then I'm being a little nice, and it ends up getting twisted, and then no one gets anywhere because we were being too polite or not speaking our mind in fear of being slightly rude.
The less that you can care about what people think about you, probably the happier you'll be. But everybody cares about what people think of them to some degree. Yeah. It's a tough battle.
What else? We got anything? One more. Someone renamed our shop, I guess. I asked some of the suspects around here because Ken, were you convinced that someone was rummaging through our mail? I got a theory. No chance. No chance. To verify a Google business location, Google mails a card.
to the address of that location. So you think every day someone would come by and hopefully find that? So the only thing that makes me think that is last week I got a mailer from Google that said, thank you for verifying your Google business location. Are we going to say the new business name? That's the only reason why I think somebody rummaged through our mail for a couple days. Or...
It's somebody in this room. It's not any of us. What if it's your, what if it's, what if it's one of the male guys? Could be him too, but I don't think so. And it always confuses me too, because I remember one day we got a stack of them. Let's say we got nine and, and it said like big Ken's barbecue and foot massage, uh, the sore nipple boys, um, a bunch of like, I can't remember. Dirt bike daycare. Dirt bike daycare. Like, um,
two stroke mics, two stroke repair, you know, just random stuff. And I got a whole stack of them. And that's what it is. Google saying, verify that this is your business. And then I throw them all in the trash. Cause obviously none of them actually are. I'm not going to verify it, but just, just like,
be clear to the listener. What this is, is so on Google, I guess you can go to like an unclaimed business or just in general, you can create a location and name the location. So some kid or multiple people have found the shop and they will create a location and they'll make a funny name as it. And then it's under their account or whatever. And we can't seem to get rid of it. So anyways, there's a new one and it is,
Ken's male strip club and vape therapy. And it's pretty aggressive. Prior to that, it was Ken's barbecue and foot massage, which is hilarious, you know? The taste. That's funny. It's a play on an old meme. It's funny. The male strip club part,
Little tough, man. And the vaping. Yeah. Cause people got to drive by, you know, and like local people see that. Local people. And they probably think like, Oh, they did that. Yeah. That's the only thing that I really care about. But like, I don't really care about the other stuff. But that is the most insane part that for somehow it's like the wild, wild West of Wikipedia back in the day when you could just go on Wikipedia and do any stuff that was only for a small moment, but that's how it is. Someone adds whatever they want, I guess, to the business. I don't know if you,
I don't think you can do this anymore, but they do. And then it just upload updates on all of Google maps and Apple maps across the world. Yeah. You know, also you can put any phone number in there. They don't verify that.
Really? That seems like a problem. Somebody put some random person's... I think it must have been their friend. And I get emails from that kid occasionally like, these people keep calling... That's funny. Damn. Backfired, dude. Listen, man. I'm an innocent bystander in this too. But I did talk with Google. I didn't talk with them. I emailed with them. Brian's tight with Google. Give them a call. And they have like a legal department.
That's a third party. And that third party legal department is working on getting our shop address verified as a verified location. So nobody else can alter it other than our account. Wow. How long does that take? Hopefully not too long. And then when you do it, it will like trigger a notification that someone's trying to falsify in a location. And then your account from Google could get suspended. Wow. So don't.
Unless you have the account then maybe just change it to something a little less strip clubby and vapey. Yeah, or you could just change it back to Big Ken's Barbecue and Foot Massage. That's funny. I think that's the one we would take because other than that I was like, well, once we get a hold of it it probably makes the most sense. Yeah, it makes the most sense. Just put it at SeaboysTV HQ. Not very funny but makes the most sense. Makes the most sense.
Yep. You think it's one of us though, Ken? That was funny. This camera just died, but... The way you darted your eyes around and pointed, I was like, whoa! You know, other people, there's been other instances where people have denied claims and then they suspiciously, a little bit later, they're like, oh, that was actually me. Oh, like stealing the camera? Yeah.
No, like moving the limo, like people denied that. Oh, yeah. I got you guys both good with that one, dude. Ryan, just tell Ken you're the one who made the list. Change it back. Sorry. Yeah, come on, dude. You know, you can never be too trusting around here, I guess. I'll give him that one. You can't be too trusting in anything. That's true. In life. That's true. You always got to be suspicious. Yeah.
Keep your friends close, enemies closer, and your YouTube business partners closer. Always stay suspicious. Your car keys are the closest as you possibly can. Ken Matthews. Stay suspicious. He's like teaching his kids one day. Now remember, kids, always be suspicious. Jobbing them off at school. Okay, Dad, we will. Teachers telling them something. Trust nothing. I don't trust them.
Ken, the teacher's like, what got into you, Davis? And he's like, I'm extra sus today. Did you say Davis? Davis. Davis Matthews. That's a pretty good name. Ken, top of your head, first child's name. Go. Tyler. Yes, let's go, dude. Tyler Matthews. Tyler Matthews. It's not bad. Pretty good name. I like it. Pretty white name right there. All right, Ben, go. Dylan. Jonah. Dylan. You go, bro. You're on your own. I got Sailor.
You really thought about this, huh, Mike? I thought about it once Ken said Tyler. I guess he's a sailor growing up and wearing purple pants. Sailor? Wait, is he a sailor or a guy? Sailor? How do you spell it? Either one. Is that a girl or a guy? S-A-Y-L-O-R. Quiet.
You could have heard a pin drop after Mike said his name. I said Bo. It could be Bo. It could be either. Is that a name? That's like calling somebody like yacht. No, that's like calling somebody like August or like Sunday. Well, you got to spell it weird. Is Sunday a name now?
Probably, dude, everything's a name now. That's the worst day of the week. You're going to name your kid after that? Sunday. No, it's not. Sunday? You like Mondays better than Sunday? Oh, that's true. That's true. That's true. That's true. Very true. Very true. Sunday. Say. All right, Ryan, you go. Mike is like, all right, I'm feeling that one out. Yeah. He like had that and him and Sydney were planning that name. No, luckily, yes. Luckily, yeah, luckily it was the first thing that came to mind, not what you actually want to do. Brian.
Brian's fun Brian. That's great. All right, guys. Thanks for listening. Shout out to all the Brians out there. We'll see you next week. All of our kids one day are going to be like, Daddy, am I a meme? Yes.
