Are we recording? Dude, ball chinians from Men in Black. You know when they're... I could see Evan doing that. That's what it sounds like. Doing what? Men in Black having balls on his chin? That, but also...

Oh, so you weren't recording, Ken? Jamie, you can't be bumping buttons back there, bud. So my mic wasn't on? No, yours was the only one on. Oh, well, I'm sorry. Okay, well, anyways, we're talking about how Evan has a voice for the radio.

And possibly, I think also like a Disney animated film. The main character. I think I can pull that off. Could you speak into the mic though? I can try. Holy shit. The voice of an angel. We have Evan Sheff. Dude Evan bro on the podcast today.

A special guest appearance. I am honored to be here. A true definition of special. Like short bus. No. What exactly is this definition you speak of, Mike? I just love Evan. I think this needs to be said, starting this podcast out, being that Evan's on... I wouldn't say the hot seat today because it's more of just a boys podcast and special guest Evan Sheff. Dude, Evan, bro, as you guys know from the videos. CJ. CJ.

You're missing a tea, bud. That's what I was thinking, too. That actually is a disgrace if I have Evan on. Tea time, Evan. Could someone throw me a tea? That is actually pretty fucked up of me. I'm not going to lie. To think I was trying to drink water. I'm disappointed. It might be 10 o'clock p.m. On a Thursday. On a Thursday night. I've worked 13 hours today. Probably a little longer. I think I'm starting to become delusionally tired.

No, this is good stuff. Hey, Ben, I have one thing to say to you. Actually, all of you. Okay. I want you to take this to the heart. It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll. How did I know you were going to say that? That's right. Well, it's my new catchphrase because it's so true. It is. I saw it was your bio as well. Yeah. Congratulations. That's exciting. Yeah, you've been commenting it on everyone's photos. Well, I just think some people...

Don't think that. And, I mean, it's just a fact of the matter. I want to fact check them. Start calling them out. Who doesn't think that? A lot of people. Ben, we're not going to name names on this podcast, but I'm just saying a lot of people don't think it's a long way to the top. You're not talking about Jamie back there, are you? Oh, hell no. No, Jamie understands it. None of the people in my crew. I'm picturing people in the rap game. They're like, it's a long way to the top if you want to get in hip-hop.

No, no, just rock and roll. Exactly. Hey, speaking of you saying that, you know, you might get copywritten. No, fuck. No, listen, listen. I know I got the voice of an angel, but not like that. No, so I say that because there's a YouTuber called Ami in the Hellcat. Yeah, I saw that. He's getting...

The most bogus sentence. 500 years in federal prison for selling copywritten content. Granted, he sold like $30 million worth of copywriting content. He made $30 million himself? Yeah.

Yeah. Alleged. Okay, that is kind of a fucking... Yeah, exactly. I don't think he deserves that many years, but he clearly was doing something wrong. Exactly. That's right. Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure. But then he was making YouTube videos about the FBI investigating him, and he was just using it as clickbait. And then they're just like, yo, you owe us $30 million, and you're going to prison for the rest of your life. He's clickbaiting the fact... He's getting clicks off of the FBI investigating him.

This guy's a businessman. But also a dumbass because now he's doing the time for more than the crime. Yeah, so just with that being said, be careful with singing ACDC lyrics. They might come after you. Jesus, dude. You're right. I'll do it in the least melody way I possibly can. Okay. Evan.

What's up? Let's tell the people the occasion. Why you happen to be here on a Thursday night. We're going to go on a trip out to Gold Creek, ride some dirt bikes. Dirt bikes? Drink some teas probably, hang out with David. It's going to be a good time. So I found out a little fun fact about Evan tonight on the car ride home.

You're afraid of airplanes? Or flying? Yeah. To be specific. I hate airplanes. It's terrifying. It's so shocking to me because you are...

easily one of the most extreme people I know when it, when it just comes to motorized vehicles. Like it, if I didn't know you actually, I do know you and it seems like you have no fear. He's a mania. So I'm very surprised to hear that you're afraid of flying. Like, where does that come from? Why are you afraid of heights? Um, not really scared of heights. I don't like to, uh, not be in control of the situation. Like I hate roller coasters. Um,

I mean, airplanes, I hate riding passenger in a car. Like even if I trust the driver and I know they're going to kill it, I still want to be sitting in the passenger seat. I just, I don't trust anybody. If Evan's going out, he wants to do it on his own, on his own mind, on his own time. I think a lot of people are actually like that. Do you foresee yourself ever giving up like that, that sense of, of control? Like,

You know, if you do it enough where you're like, okay, I'm not going to die. Yeah, I mean, I'll still, like, do it. I'm just going to hate it when I do it. Like, I'll fly. You're terrified the whole way? Yeah. I'll hate it, but I'll still do it because you got to. You want to go cool places, you just got to get on the plane. I'll deal with it. That's true. Well, you don't have to. You could drive. It would suck, but yeah. How long has it been since you've been on a plane?

10, 12 years. Holy shit. You know what's weird though is I feel like the craziest people, like the craziest people that do the craziest things are like you. And I think it's because you know when shit goes wrong, like the consequences, because you've probably made the wrong decision once or twice. No, I've never made a bad decision. Well, maybe hypothetically, you have a couple friends that maybe have...

Allegedly. Evan always makes mistakes. Evan ain't no narc. Yeah. They're not safe decisions. So you're like, listen, if I'm going to get hurt or go out on this, I want it to be my mistake, not yours. Oh, definitely, yeah. I want to take myself out. I don't want someone to do it for me. That's understandable. I can get behind that. I feel the same way. I normally don't hop in the Maverick with any of the boys. Evan starts to get old, and he's just like, old AJ ain't taking me out. I'm taking me out. Yeah.

For real. Gold Creek, third annual. That's actually where we met. Yeah, it is. I mean, it's not. Well, the car ride out there, but that is how we became friends was that trip. Going out to Gold Creek, Idaho. For those of you that don't know, it's a...

It's basically the mecca of dirt biking in Idaho. It's like insanely hard single track riding. And it's, I don't know. It's just like really good riding. There's like a camp there. You can rent bikes. I'm not giving a plug or anything. I'm just stating what it is. Right. So it's gnarly too. Three years ago or four years ago now? Three years ago. Three years ago, our friend David works with 509. He was like, hey, we have an athlete that...

that rides for us and we give him gear and everything is it cool if but what he was way more than that than an athlete to him oh yeah yeah and i was like a childhood best friend and i grew up with him and it was one of my best friends right super cool guy you guys will get along great but is it cool if he comes with on this trip who's kind of like a 509 trip and rides out to idaho with you guys from minnesota and we're like yeah hell yeah any friend of yours david is a friend of ours

Evan shows up, seemed like a nice guy. Didn't say a single word for probably 11 hours of the trip, except for one, one sentence. Ryan almost pulled out in front of a semi, and Evan goes, there's a semi. Other than that, silent. I was like, damn, this guy's a...

He's kind of a stone-cold killer. You didn't know what to think about him. Or was it me? I didn't know what to think about you, but now that I reflect on it, you probably just didn't know what to think about us. What were your thoughts? I mean, it was just hopping in a truck full of dudes I didn't know, and I was just...

Trying to suck it all in and fit in. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Suck what? You, Ben. You and Michael were in the backseat together. And Cody. And Cody, bro. So Evan rides out 12 hours in the car. Probably said five words to us, which was cool. I mean, we were like, I'm sure he's a nice guy. He's probably just shy.

And then all black metal militia shirt, your typical shit. Yep. Yep. So now that I know, now that I know you, now that I know you, it is a little weird. Like I can't imagine you just being silent because you're a pretty friendly open guy, right? Yeah, I think so. I mean, normally I can't shut up. So I don't know what I was doing then. What was going through your brain of like, who are these guys? Cause I'd assume you didn't know us. Like David was like, Hey, just ride out with a group of YouTubers, uh,

And just show up here and just hop in their truck and ride 12 hours with them, right? Yeah, pretty much. I mean, I knew maybe a couple weeks ahead of time. So then I checked out your guys' vids. No hate. I just didn't know prior to that. No hate. That's okay. I wasn't exposed to it. I checked it out. I saw Ryan tip over going across a little pile of rocks. And I'm like, what am I getting into? Oh, that's right. The warm-up vid. These guys suck. Yeah.

But no, I was just kind of taking it all in and just trying to fit in. I don't know. I didn't want to be like sticking out, being weird or whatever. Oh, really? Something tells me that's by far not the craziest thing.

weird situation that evan put himself in you know as far as that i mean he literally was no evan loves to get weird yeah he's just hopping in the truck with some homies to go dirt biking or soon to be homies but yeah i was like i'm sure it was pretty tame yeah comparatively yeah you're chilling well david was like yeah he's a good rider and and if we're being honest here i didn't know much about you either evan and so i went into it hey he's probably a good rider first i

five minutes long this dude is wheeling up stuff that most of us can't even get up and then you would get to the top hike down and ride all of our bikes up and like i was like holy shit this guy's actually a rider like a really really good rider and uh you you still blow me away

We made eye contact when I said that. Oh, my gosh. All right. All right. That was a little fucked up. No. No, you still never cease to amaze me every time I see you get on a bike. Like last winter when you hopped on the ice bike, in the first corner you came in doing 70 and you like bar drag, bar drug, whatever it'd be.

That was insane, bro. Easy. That's the thing, dude. Because we've never seen anything like that. Yeah. You know, we've seen ice tires. We know ice tires, but we've never seen a true ice racer because you spend a lot of time with studded tires in the winter, don't you? Yeah. I mean, I don't know. It's just fun. And once you do it, you just want to keep pushing it and do something you haven't done before and try to get like the excitement or the adrenaline rush out of it.

Are you just chasing the adrenaline rush? Definitely. Always? Always. No matter if it's on bike or, like, anything? Like, would you consider yourself, like, an adrenaline junkie? I mean, yeah, definitely. To, like, a sick point? I mean, it sounds kind of corny, like, the adrenaline junkie. But, no, definitely, like, chasing that rush, like...

It's like the biggest rush, I think, is when you almost wad. Like, you don't even do something cool. You just get... You're going fast, and you get so sketchy, and you almost die. And you just get a rush, and you're just, like, shaking. I feel like that's the only way you rot. Every time I watch you, it's like you're just on the edge of crashing the whole time.

And I don't necessarily chalk that up as a bad thing, but yeah, I was going to say I've never seen someone almost die more than you. Like, hands down. Jamie's got a video playing in the back here. It's a video of Evan going across the ice. And then just gone. Oh!

Holy crap. Evan, what bike was that? That was my old Honda. You sold it after that. No, no, I still have it. You still have that? I was just going to ask. Did you get it back? But wow, that's your black 450? Yeah, we had to fish it out of there.

I rebuilt it afterwards. I can't believe that hasn't happened to us on all the ice videos that we've filmed. We're always just riding the edge on the ice videos like Evan's whole life. Hi, I'm Angie Hicks, co-founder of Angie. And one thing I've learned is that you buy a house, but you make it a home. Because with every fix...

update and renovation, it becomes a little more your own. So you need all your jobs done well. For nearly 30 years, Angie has helped millions of homeowners hire skilled pros for the projects that matter. From

Today's episode is brought to you by Angie. Angie has made it easier than ever to connect with skilled professionals to get all your jobs and projects done well. Let me tell you, there's the version of it where you try to do something at home, and then there's a version of it where you have someone help you, you watch them do it the right way, and you go, thank God I didn't try to do that myself.

I have fully done things around the home that I think look good and then a bang in the night and I wake up to a shelf collapsing, a painting falling off the wall. Like it, I've seen it all go south. I own a home and I can tell you, I know how much work it can take. Whether it's everyday maintenance and repairs or making dream projects a reality, it can be hard just to know where to start. But now all you need to do is Angie that and find a skilled local pro who will deliver the quality and expertise you need.

Whatever your home project, big or small, indoor or outdoor, you can Angie that and connect with skilled professionals to get the project done well.

Yeah.

This would be a good time to address it. There were so many comments like, what were you thinking? You could see the ice was terrible. Okay, this was in the spring in March, and the entire lake looked like there were spots of open water. Everywhere there were fish houses and ice holes. It looked like open water everywhere. And I drove across a thousand spots that looked like that. It just so happened this one was open water. Honest mistake. Yeah.

I'm not stupid. Everyone watching has made it. Honestly, if it ever happens to us, we'll call you. I shouldn't even say if. It will eventually. You just love that thing. If you play with fire enough, you're going to get burned. That is the unfortunate truth. I'd just like to say I truly believe that Evan probably is the best rider that I know. Wouldn't you agree? Who do you know that's a better rider than Evan?

No, I probably don't. Like, personally, no. Personally, yeah. You guys must not know very many people. Well, we don't. That might be true. That might be true. Yeah. So when did you, because you didn't start riding until you were 12.

I remember you saying? Yeah, right around 20. So that's cool. That's fucking, that's cool. You're just talented, I think, realistically in extreme sports, but also more so on bikes because you kind of had early beginnings on BMX, you were telling me? Yeah. I mean, growing up, my parents were always like against motorized stuff. They never rode dirt bikes. Why? I probably just thought it was dangerous. They just weren't into it. I don't know.

They knew what Evan would do if they put him on one. It could have been expensive. They were probably just scared for my own safety. That makes sense. Makes sense. But yeah, I mean, it was just always BMX bikes, skateboards, scooters. So I was always doing that kind of stuff, but never with a motor. Right. So it almost prepared you, would you say? A bit of a gateway drug to your dirt bike addiction. By the time you got onto the bike, because...

I mean, just before this podcast, we all went out to eat and I was in the car with my girlfriend. We're leaving and they were waiting for you guys. You were on the pit bike track.

And you can't, and like the whole time I was watching you from the road waiting for you guys to come in, it was like every single thing you were doing was on the edge of you crashing. And Alex was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And I'm like, man, Evan's real good on a bike. It's constant entertainment. It is. Like it was honestly really entertaining. Even you just riding a straight line because it was like you would slam on the brakes, go completely sideways, and then fucking swing it back and...

I don't know, man. I like to live dangerously. Yeah. You got a real knack for it, though, I think. You know, Evan, I never thought about this until I thought about it, but...

Dude, I'm literally working on three brain cells tonight. I'm sorry, everyone listening. But the first video that we filmed with you, every time I'd pan the camera to you, you'd just go, I don't know, dirt bikes. That's where dirt bikes came from. I always thought it was just funny. I was like, man, this guy's hilarious. He just always has the funniest one-liners, and they just so happen to always be dirt bikes. And then I came to realize that

You get a little scared when we point the camera on you. Oh, dude, I'm the worst. It's like... Not anymore, though. I freeze up. No, I'm pretty bad still, I think. I would say you're... Like a lot better than most. Yeah, give yourself a lot more credit. I'd say you're like gold. But that is what it is. When you're around, there's always something good.

Yeah. To be had, at least for the camera. Like, when we first got to know you, I guess you were shy, but we were like, gosh, Evan's so funny. So it's like, as someone who films their whole life every day, it's hard not to stick a camera in your face. Yeah. So you do well. You ever feel like we exploit you for thumbnails? Your bike? Yeah.

Dude, that bike is a good thumbnail. No one recognizes me. They recognize the bike. Is that the bike from Seaboys? Yeah, I am too, but yeah, that is the bike. They recognize the bike? The neon, the orange? Really? Yeah. So people come up to you on the streets and will say like, hey, is that the bike from... Not necessarily on the streets. I got to have the bike with me. Right. But when you're with the bike, they ask if that's the bike. Yeah, they'll take pictures of the bike. Not me. No shit.

They just take pictures of the bike? Dude, you have no idea how many kids, now with the T-Bike also, but either my KTM or the T-Bike, the kids will be so stoked. The bike will be in the back of my truck at Walmart, and they'll be taking pictures of the bike. That's pretty exciting. That's pretty cool. Well, that makes sense, though, because quite frankly...

You have been on a lot of viral video thumbnails. We should start calling you Thumbnail. Or Toenail, from when I blew my toe off on the snowmobile. That too, you did bust your toenail off when you hit that jump. I'm pretty sure, yeah, that's funny. You have more air on our pit bike track on a snowmobile than anyone around, and you blew out your fucking toe. Well, it makes sense when you land a flat.

Well, I mean, I should cut my toenails more than once a year, too. That'd probably help. That'd probably help. Yeah. Oh! This is not my body. Leave that one in. Damn it. Yeah, no, we didn't want you to ever feel like you're being, like, exploited. Obviously, you're one of our best friends, but...

Dude, you're just so entertaining to film and you make great content. And the bike is so recognizable at this point. It makes great thumbnails. But that's also why we wanted to get you a T-bike. You know, like we wanted to show our appreciation for you. A T-bike. A pit bike. Twisted T-rap. You know, but we want like...

We appreciate you, bro. Dude, I appreciate you guys. I love hanging out. I really appreciate the T-Bike. I mean, that thing is sick. It's still running? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Throw over the clip of Evan wheeling today, dude. We ripped and...

Dude, I don't even know. It makes me literally so happy to see you because your last bike you ripped on too, of course, but this thing's dialed. It's got a clutch. It's a lot faster than our Hondas, that's for sure. The 110L is. No, that thing rips. I remember thinking the first thought that we had was,

was when we were trying to film the pit bikes at the playground video, which is also one point. I mean, it's over a million view video and, uh, and your bike kept breaking in the process of it, which was like making filming a little bit harder, but I didn't really care so much about that. I was just like, God damn, like Evan's so good on a pit bike or just dirt bikes in general. Why does he have a bike that keeps breaking? Um,

Because I'm poor. I don't know about that. Because you ride the shit out of me, dude. You clap it out. You beat the hell out of the thing. But I'm like, we need to at least get him something that can last him the next four months.

Before it's clapped out again. That's a good time frame, four months. Well, with the way Evan rides things. Exactly. He rides them to the maximum. Well, I cracked the case on it like the third day I rode it. You did? Ours? All those damn stunts you're doing. No shit. You cracked the case? Yeah, I put the aftermarket foot pegs on it and I crashed doing a wheelie. The foot peg folded into the case, cracked the case, drained all the oil out. I drove it with no oil in it apparently, but fixed it.

How many teas did you have? How many teas did you have during that? I mean, I would never drink teas and ride, but allegedly a half a dozen. Jesus.

So you guys are going to Gold Creek. I mean, if you're a dirt bike rider, more so looking like trail rider, but an advanced trail rider, this is probably the gnarliest shit you can get yourself into.

In the United States? Something like that. Because David said that he wanted to go to the top of Pack Saddle this time around. So, like, this is news to me as of, like, today. But Pack Saddle is, like, the hardest of the hard to the peak. It's like, oh, we're going to conquer Pack Saddle today. Yeah.

Honestly, I don't know if I'm prepared, but now you guys know. I don't know if I am prepared. It's going to be fucking hard. Yeah, it's going to suck. I mean, so just to be clear for the viewers, obviously, Ben, Micah, Evan, and Ryan are the only people going to Gold Creek. Ken and I are staying back just because, I mean, we just don't really ride like them.

Well, Ryan's going. Yeah, I said Ryan, didn't I? Yeah, but Ryan... Ryan's going, exactly. Yeah, but Ryan doesn't even ride dirt bike. Yeah.

So that's my point. He's really putting it out there for that. So you got to throw some respect. He's going to the gnarliest ride in the country. No, yeah, seriously. He doesn't ride dirt bike. Ryan is laying it out for the boys on that one. And he always has. He's came on every trip with us, and I love that. That is literally the only time he rides a dirt bike. Once a year in the hardest terrain ever.

It doesn't make any sense. It really doesn't. He doesn't even own one. He doesn't even own one. Yeah, it's not even like, oh, yeah, let me get a little feel for, like, because he took your bike one year, the first year. He didn't even, I guess he did. He rode it one day, yeah. I mean, he was hard on it. We were all hard on it. Well, right. No, I don't blame you. I don't give a fuck. But, yeah, it came back bent.

I remember that. It was like a decent bike. What is the definition of bent? I'm just picturing, yo, my bike is bent, dude. It was never the same after that. Well, yeah, because he threw it off like 14 cliffs. Yeah. It was like I remember immediately I was on. It was like this was bent, but also I was looking at the, what do you want to call it? What is it called? Cooler.

The radiator? Yeah, he definitely did tweak that. No, the radiator was like fucking this way. Nothing lined up, and I was like, ah, this thing has been doing some shit. But I didn't care because I told him going in, I said, Ryan, I hope you total my bike, but I hope you're okay. Speaking of like the busted up bikes and shit, did you guys see the video of the New York City mayor running over all those dirt bikes?

Did you see it, Evan? I did. Evan, we might have to blindfold Evan. You're going to cry, I think, Evan. Listen up, TV writers in New York City. This is the noise they like to hear. Evan likes that. And the NYPD, this is the noise they like to hear.

These dirt bikes are dangerous. A kid, a senior citizen could be in danger. If you put a senior citizen on a dirt bike, they will be in danger. Scooters. Moped? Dude, there's a Coleman minibike in there. That's a legit moped.

That is a moped. You're right, Ken. Could you keep playing the video? This year alone, and we're only in September, we did over 1,000. So this year, it looks like we're going to be in the ballpark of 2,500 to 3,000 dirt bikes that we have taken off the street.

I love how they're talking numbers like, yeah, we're looking for 3,000 this year. He's just mad he can't run the foot brake. Right? That's his problem. He doesn't know how to run the foot brake. There's nothing wrong with not knowing how to run the foot brake, bro. Whoa. I'm sure he's a nice guy. Dude, you... Yeah.

Does that hurt you a little bit, Evan? It really does. It's completely unnecessary. Dude, we got to get you in the pack. Like, Zach goes, get you in the pack of Philly. Dude, you have no idea how bad I want to get out there. We can make it happen. Let's cut it up. Let's make it happen. Dude, let's do it. Because you could actually hold your own. Like, the rest of us would look like idiots. I'm not really worried. Like...

So if you can't wheelie, and I'm speaking from like in the pack, like I can't. Like none of us could hold our own besides Evan. Two-stroke Mike, you could actually probably do it. No, you definitely could hold your own. Yeah, you do it. I wasn't going to say it because then you guys would be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

anyway let's say it yeah no all right well i can hold up in the pack whoa no i'm just kidding but uh like if you can't wheelie then you just don't and then you're good you just chill you ride you take videos when you got fucking four bikes on every corner of you you probably shouldn't be wheeling if you're not in complete control and you get called a worm i guess it's new to me but like that's a term that's a you don't want to be called a worm i can't imagine that's

I can't imagine. No, I'd for real like to do that, though. I would go to wherever it is. Like, we could go to one of the Miami ride-outs. Or Dallas. Dallas is big. I think the viewers would love to see that. Philly would be a good one. And then there's also Baltimore. I think Baltimore would probably last. I've been waiting for this. Hey, Philly it is, then. We'll call up Zach. Zach Gose could totally hook us up. Our boy. Zach, do you still ride, dude? Crickets. Crickets.

I think he does. He just doesn't post it. Yeah. I mean, he rides every day. He's a definition of riding every day. I remember when Ben and I were like really little.

Um, Ben probably was in like third grade and I was probably in fifth or sixth, whatever I would have been at the time. And remember the first time we saw like the 12 o'clock boy videos on YouTube? Yeah, it was like my first experience with YouTube. I was rattled because it was like all these guys in the city.

riding these dirt bikes with no helmets and just wheeling and like the whole... They were the best wheelers I've ever seen at that time. And they were... Like the cops would get behind them and they just would keep wheeling and like they'd run from them. And I remember it just being like... What? I was...

mind-blowing both of us were mind-blowing and we would watch those videos for hours and hours and hours and uh it kind of inspired us in a way yeah for sure like like we we somewhat integrated them into our lives like if you watch like the earlier videos we were totally like wheelie boys like we'd go to the streets and wheelie we don't do it so much anymore and not because we're

really scare the consequence or anything. It's just, we've just done it enough. And also we're not necessarily like, well, I think you come to it. Yeah. You come to a point where you're either really interest you or it doesn't, it doesn't mean you don't like, I still, I still really appreciate it. Yeah. And I'd like to do it in a different setting. I think that'd be fun. I probably wouldn't be throwing up these crazy wheelies when I got all these guys in a pack around me. Cause I wouldn't want to take someone out in case something went wrong, but I would, I'd be riding, um,

I'd be riding with them. That'd be fun, dude. Yeah, that'd be super fun. That would be cool. That'd be a great video. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I think our viewers would really like that. I think if you're watching this right now and you want to see us...

Head to Philly and, like, get on the street. Zach Gose. A real ride out. Dude, I've been telling you guys. Zach Gose has been saying this for years. Yeah, dude, even saying that, like, gets the nerves up. Like, even just thinking about it. But, dude, yeah, it'd be so fun. We'd have to. And Ryan would bring his quad. Ryan would. Yeah.

There's some dudes out there on the quad that are like, I mean, there's a lot of dudes out there. Wow. That's amazing. As long as Ryan had his tire pressure dialed in. Yeah. That is important.

My biggest fear though is still Can you imagine you're out in Philly You get separated from the pack Now you're just a dirt bike In the middle of the city You have nowhere to go, you have no idea what you're doing The cops might be chasing you That's stressful There's hundreds and hundreds of people If you manage to get separated from that many people You probably deserve to get caught Still scary to think about Right on That's like high consequence Yeah

Is it really, though? What are you getting? People die. I thought you were talking crime. If the police stop you, so you give your bike up, maybe they take you to jail. No, they don't stop you. You run. You leave the bike on the road, go. There's no stopping. You'd probably get away. Dude, that is a different lifestyle.

You know, like picture those guys watching like our videos. Yeah, I understand. Ben gets pulled over for window tint once every two months. No, I'm saying he doesn't even run, dude. What the hell? No, no, no. I'm saying I'm saying like those guys. How do you get so good at like, you know how much time you have to put on a bike practicing to get that good at wheeling, like dropping back one hand standing on the seat, like all this shit, right?

And then you're doing it in the middle of town. Like, that's where you practice. You don't have, like, backcountry roads to practice on. And that, I think, is the huge, the differentiation between people that are like, yeah, I like to wheelie my dirt bike, and I'm a wheelie boy. I think they actually have a natural talent. Like, if you're doing that shit, you obviously have to have some natural born talent.

Talent. And the best time on top of that. And the best of the best guys are, it's one thing to have it be like, yep, it's my favorite thing to do. No, it's not even like that. It's like life. That's my life. Yeah, I started when I was 10. Now I'm like, you know, whatever, 25, been riding on the streets, doing wheelies for 15 years. It's the only thing I like to do. It's the only thing I eat, sleep, and breathe. Yeah. At some point, we got to have Zach goes on this podcast. Like the amount of stories that guy's got is,

It's crazy. It's crazy. And when Zach came here, he was like, holy crap, you guys have just straight flat roads? How are you guys not amazing at wheelies? Yeah, dude, he got a hard-on every time. He's like, there's no cars to deal with, like nothing. There's not really any cops around here. Yeah, it's literally just a different lifestyle. But I can see you doing it, Evan. I can see myself doing it. We'll get you in there. So you do know how to press the back brake then? I'm familiar.

Nice. So, Evan, can you tell me what it's like removing asbestos, one of the most dangerous, like, it's not a chemical. What is asbestos? Well, start from the beginning, what your job is. Because, I mean, people don't know you that are listening.

I mean, most people probably don't know you outside of just what is the tiny fraction that is shown of you on our videos. Yeah, I mean, I remove asbestos. Asbestos, it's a naturally occurring mineral that is used in building materials.

From like the 80s, right? 70s, earlier? Yeah, it's like prior 1980 or something like that. It literally could be in anything like floor tiles, sheetrock, literally like anything, window caulk. And then you... It's cancerous? Yeah, if you create dust with it, yeah, it can cause cancer. So we have to safely remove it, like hazmat suits and respirators and...

Make the world safe for all you other people. That's crazy, dude. So you deal with that every single day? Yeah, it's actually pretty terrible. I hate it, but... Does that worry you? No, because I'm probably going to pile myself up on the bike or something before the cancer can catch me. Don't say that. It's all good. Holy shit.

That was insanely dark. Something about me also wants to tell you not to say that, but Evan, you'll crack jokes about not just asbestos, but about that all the time. Evan's going to be pissed if the asbestos gets to take him out. These airplanes are going to take me out before the asbestos does. Evan's over here removing asbestos every day, five days a week.

And he's worried about hopping on an airplane. I mean, I'm in control of the asbestos. I'm not in control of that airplane. You're right. You're in control of it as best as you can be. As best as you can be. I'm sorry. As best as you can be. Had to. Yeah, so, I mean, I guess random question, but what's the weirdest place you've ever had to remove asbestos? Is it literally just abandoned buildings or is it offices or what? I feel like they wouldn't send them into abandoned buildings.

It's everywhere I mean we'll be in like A hospital Like fully Like emergency room And whatever And like up above The ceiling tiles There'll be A leaky pipe With like asbestos on it Like it's I mean it's everywhere Schools Like Literally just Any building That was built

Before 1980 like could have asbestos in it And you just hazmat up and go in there and take it down? Yep And then throw it into trash bags and throw it away? Like how do you remove asbestos? Does it go to the landfill? Yeah I mean it just goes to like a regulated landfill Like there's lots of paperwork and Regulated landfill where there just so happens to be fire burning Or what? No no asbestos doesn't burn Seriously? Yeah

I mean, we do a lot of jobs with, like, burned-down buildings, but we got to go remove the asbestos because it's still there. That's super weird. That's why they used it, because it doesn't burn. Oh, shit. Like fireproofing. It's made out of asbestos. Damn. Asbestos is the bestest. The more you know, I guess. How'd you get into that, Evan? My boss was, like, my neighbor, and I was about to graduate high school and had no plan for my life, and he asked me if I needed a job, which I did.

And then I started doing it and I've been doing it for like 10 years now. And I guess I'm just kind of stuck doing that, paying the bills and

Go to work the next day. That's good. So one might say you're a pro at it by now. Oh, definitely. Best asbestos there's ever been. I'm picturing them at some, you know, like they're, you know, in Texas somewhere. Convention. This huge thing. Well, it's like this huge job. Evan does a speech up there. We got to call in Evan. Dude, Evan, bro. The only way this is getting removed is Evan. Fly me out. I'll take care of it. He's like climbing up the wall. Pain good? Yeah.

Spidey suit He's got a Spider-Man suit Freaking hazmat suit I wouldn't doubt it Everything I've ever seen Evan do I always think to myself Man that's amazing Like seriously this guy is talented You can pretty much do anything You set your mind to I'd say Evan I think anybody can do anything They set their mind to You just gotta decide Really?

I mean, not necessarily. If you're an idiot, don't even try. Some people suck at stuff, so then, yeah, they probably shouldn't even try. But, no, if you put your mind to it, you can do it. Really?

Do you think everyone is like equal or you think there's just some straight up idiots in the world where it's like man you just got hit on the head with a hammer when you're a little kid and there's no coming back? Yeah, no, there's definitely people that are screwed there. They got no shot. Really? Yeah. I mean, don't you think that? No, I agree 100%. Like who would be some of the people? Dude.

Ryan. I thought you were talking about Ken. Jesus. The guy's not even here. I know, that's why. I'm kidding. We got him coming. We'll take a tea break. All right, well, I just need to put a disclaimer down. This episode is 1,000% not sponsored by Twisted Tea. It's just sponsored by the good vibes of Evan and the crew surrounding him. Evan, can you tell me how you are not sponsored by Twisted Tea?

It honestly blows my mind. You know what I think? I think Twisted Tea sucks. I know we're drinking it right now, but I just think Twisted Tea is one of the worst brands. Oh, like as a company? Oh, I thought you meant taste. It's a terrible brand, but it's just so damn good. Evan, the only reason I drink Twisted Tea is when you're around.

Otherwise, I think Twisted Tea is terrible, and I would not suggest buying it. Unless they decide to sponsor us. Then I think you should. As far as right now, I would say Twisted Tea is overrated. But we didn't mention that...

We knew what Twisted Tea was before we met you, but, like, straight up didn't drink it. It became a thing once you met Evan. Like, you guys all came back from the first Gold Creek trip, and you're like, we've got to get Twisted Tea. And I was like, what? Why? And then it was like, all of a sudden, ever since then, we've always had Twisted Tea in our fridge. That's been the nectar. Yeah, it's super weird. And obviously, when you come, we're like, we've got to have teas for Evan, dude. It's a tea party. And then...

Mike you sound so good and natural when you say that and obviously when you please don't make it sexual please you're the one talking about it man yeah you're the one you're the one thinking about it sexual the way you said it was just oh Evan when you come there's so much tea Mike when you when you licked your lips after that

I just took a drink. Even just slide to right here. Feel free, man. He's wearing a tie-dyed shirt right now. It's okay. You never know about this guy. I'm already hard. You're already in sweatpants. I have officially reached delusional state. That's not good. That's not good, dude. Well, Ben, why are you at delusional state? Tell us about your day because most people think you just fuck around all day. It's true. This wasn't even in the plan, but just tell why you are delusional.

the way you are right now how many hours have you worked today what time did you wake up this morning six you woke up at 6 a.m started editing at like 6 30 okay what time did we finish 7 30 okay so what is 13 hours hours right there then we went out to eat i i realized i think it was a little bit longer that but we'll say 6 30 it's not even it's not even how much we've worked today like that's pretty standard it's

The constant buildup. The constant how much we worked today, yesterday, the day before, and the lack of sleep I've been getting, and now it's like going on a trip in five hours, so I'm going to get like four hours of sleep.

And it's just like building up. And everyone thinks that you get to fuck around and just do whatever you want on a daily basis. What you are doing. To a degree, yeah. But either way, fucking around or not, it still wears on you, you know. But there is... A lot of people don't realize the work behind the scenes, which I think... If you're not an idiot, you do, you know. Well, I think it's easy to be, you know...

Well, I mean... You don't realize it if you're not in this world. Yeah, but to be fair, like, you kind of want them to think that it's all, like, sunshine and... Right, exactly. You leave that on so you don't blame them for thinking that. That's what's entertaining. That's what people want to see, right? When they get mad that you don't post two or three videos a week. Yeah. I don't know, man. I'm just, like, honestly fucking exhausted. Right, and that's why we actually just recently... Well, actually, I have one thing to say about that. You know what I have to say about that, Ben? What? What?

It's a long way. Oh, my God. If you want to rock and roll. Honestly, that one came out of nowhere. I did not expect that. How the fuck did you? You really are tired of your phone for that. I don't know how I feel, man. So it's like when you get John Cena. It is. You better die.

We actually just hired our very first employee last week, and now we're testing out Sam McBack there. He's behind the cameras, but for just helping out with editing, filming, all that shit. He has kind of a background in that. We're trying to relieve the workload, which will...

Allow us to just be more creative. Allow you to make more videos. Yeah, it's more so do the thing that you do best. Yeah, that's the goal. So one step at a time. You take one step at a time. So right now you are exhausted. You're going to have your theme song and that's going to be my theme song. You don't need to rush. It's like learning to fly with a pop.

I think we're at 15 hours though today. 15 hour work day. The worst part was I wasn't even picking up what song it was. I know. I'm like, dude. Evan's looking at me. I still don't know. I have no idea what this is. Who sings it? Avril Lavigne. Avril Lavigne. Avril Lavigne. I'm sorry. He was actually in LLC as a kid. Which is nothing wrong with that, but he had to have. You had an LLC as a kid?

No, I was an escort. What the fuck was it when you didn't know how to read so they had to pull you out of the class? Special ed. I did have that. Is there a name for that though? I don't know if you're making a joke out of that. No, I'm not. I'm saying that's all right. People have that. Yeah, it is. And you were a part of that.

Yeah, but I... It still kind of shows they did a shitty-ass job of teaching you, but... I feel like you're making a joke at me. I'm not. I'm just telling the truth. Can we get a raise of hands here? Does it feel like a joke? Nobody. Nobody raised their hand besides Ben. How many years and you still don't know how to spell? I mean, you can't fix stupid. That's the main thing. But... Did you say LLC? I thought you said LLC. No, I said S-Corp.

Oh, my gosh. Jesus. I did say LSU. I don't know why. I don't even know what it was called. It was some kind of learning thing. It was like a separate class, and you got to go there, and they helped you. But it doesn't matter. Whether you're in it or not, it doesn't matter. It turns out it's good to be in it, I'd say. Yeah, like you learned how to read eventually. I wouldn't say it's good to be in it. Ben's a poor example. You can't really teach him. You think it's good to be in it? Slow and steady wins the race. I mean, at least you're getting help.

Wouldn't you agree? Yeah, no, for sure. At least you can say your R's and stuff. Evan, I got a juicy question for you, man. Juicy. Here in this, what century are we in? 21st or 22nd? I think 23rd. No, it's 2000 what? 2021? Something like that. But is it actually the 21st or would it be the 22nd?

It'd be the 21st. Ken just holds up a one. Jamie's giving me the... Okay, so Evan, we're living in the 21st century right now. It's a wild time to be alive, quite frankly, especially in the digital age. From your standpoint, what's your thoughts on, I mean, Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs? What do you think about it? Can you ask the question in English, please?

That was about as most basic as I can possibly get by. I am so far out of touch with any of that cryptocurrency investing. Like I usually spend my money instead of investing it. Smart. We do too.

Do you know what an NFT is? Bro, I don't. No. I don't. Have you ever heard of it? Do you know what it stands for? Well, I don't expect you to, Mike. NFT? Yeah. No fucking thoughts. Okay, so get this. Get this. I don't know if we can disclose this. We'll maybe just cut it out if not. So our new employee, Samick...

He is very involved in the crypto space, NFTs, the digital age, quite frankly. Just the whole broad thing. But he bought an NFT...

For $2,000, right? A fucking NFT for $2,000. Wait, can you explain the NFT first? It's like a fucking digital picture. Okay, okay. Actually, I have heard about this. Right. It don't make sense. He bought this NFT for $2,000. It was half an ETH at the time, but right now it'd be about two-thirds of an ETH. So he spent half an ETH on it, which is $2,000 USD currency. And right now, he bought that two months ago. Guess what that NFT is worth right now? Just...

Throw a number out. $10,000. $60,000. He made $58,000 in two months. Cash out and buy some freshies. Let's go riding. You know, that's exactly what I expected to say, Evan. I asked him, I said, did you sell it? And he goes, no, I'm holding it. So he's still holding on to this digital 32-bit picture of this fucking fish or whatever the fuck it is. I don't want to explain.

expose you too much, but it's just this picture. He made 58K. Samick is... Anyone could have technically done that. Do you have to bid on that or is it just timing that you get that? I think he got relatively lucky, but also he put himself in the right spot at the right time because he did the work and he listens and he stays up to date. He does research. I've been asking about it the past two days. He's been staying with us and

And kind of just following us around, getting a feel for things and how things go around here. And we've been just getting to know each other. And, I mean, holy shit, I've never heard of such a gain. I've never – 58K in two months? Yeah, that's like bizarre. That's what people make in a whole year. I mean, he did say he's bought into a couple other NFTs or whatever. And, like, those ones just stay where they're at. They stay where they're at. What? What?

I don't know. Ben starts laughing. How am I going to keep his straight face? I'm just thinking about Evan. I'm comprehending this. But you say... Evan is like, okay, how many E's did he spend on this NFT? Your description of...

said NFT was like how I when you were like I don't know it's some fish or whatever the fuck it is that is like every NFT to me I'm like yeah I don't know it's some jingle some mp3 went for like 50k well that's what I mean yeah I mean I honestly don't know much about NFTs I'd like to learn more but also at the same time it's hard for me to get behind it because realistically I just don't care about fucking like

I would never spend a lot of money on a picture to put on the wall. So why the fuck would I spend a lot of money on a picture that is like a digitalized 32 bit low quality picture. But for some reason, I don't think it's the point. I don't think it's, I don't think Sam was like, man, I love this. No, me and this fish have a connection. I think it's all investment based. Right. But I just don't. And I mean, holy shit. Can we sell that Pelican?

As an NFT? I'm sure you could. I'm sure we could. I don't think any of our fucking listeners are trying to spend a lot of money on that, though. Maybe we don't charge a lot of money for it. We're going to sell one digital asset of this Pelican for $100,000. Jesus. Count me the fuck out. I'll take it. I won't even sell the Pelican. Evan's like...

After listening to you guys' description of NFTs and just finding a story. Based off of everything I've heard in the last four minutes, this is the best financial decision I've ever made. Do you have any stocks, Evan? Absolutely not. Fucking corn stocks, maybe. Evan lives on the edge, baby. Evan's like, I got a stock pit bike. It's the only thing stocky's got. I will say, though.

Like I am questionable about the NFTs. I do probably think they are going to be something just because I look at the people that are behind it. Yeah. Um,

And for me to be questionable about it is relatively ironic because I was very bullish on Bitcoin back in fucking the very early days, 2016, 2017, back when it was fucking $4,000. If I would have had enough money to invest in that, I probably would have bought some back then, but I just flat out didn't. But then when it hit $12,000, you probably would have sold. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. Realistically, I would have flipped it. So it's like whenever, man, I wish I would have bought back then. It's so hard. Dumbass would have sold it. Yeah, I would have sold it too. But it is interesting hearing about the NFT space. And I'm just going to milk Samick, our new...

our new employee for everything he's got. Sam expect they're like, I don't know if I have much more to give you, man. He's like, listen, man, I just got lucky on this one, but there's gotta be a strategy. Sam, tell me what'd you do? Yeah, no. I mean, that was just one of them. You spent 2000 bucks on any investment though. It's kind of high risk, high reward, but that's the life we live. Yeah, for sure. Everything we do.

For sure, unless you're spending $2,000 on Bitcoin, and then the next day it drops 25%. You want to know the fact of the matter is, though, you could be like Ken and invest fucking $100 into a crypto coin. Watch it all day. Watch it all day. All right, I think I'm ready. Or you could be like Samick and put $2,000 in.

Fortune favors the bold. And that's why Sam came out on top. It's a beautiful thing. It is. That's the American way. Fortune favors the bold, ladies and gentlemen. And on that note, I can't believe we're still talking about cryptocurrency with Evan here. That's a broad thing, though. No, absolutely. Evan is a fucking bold motherfucker. He hits big jumps and does all this crazy shit on the bikes. Evan, I tell you what. I don't do this for a lot of people, but I like you. So I'll do it for you.

Oh, I will be your financial advisor. Jesus. I think you'd better off have like a kindergartner telling you where to put your money. Actually, though, at least you'd have some luck and some chance there. That is incredibly offensive. But so accurate. So you don't foresee yourself ever dropping a couple of E on NFTs? Oh, no. I picture myself dropping many E's.

Alright. I want to do this bit. I want to do this bit. We're going to get off the fucking crypto bullshit. Bullshit. It's not bullshit. It's just stuff.

Wait, one more question on that, though. The picture that gets sold, can anyone sell a picture? Basically, yeah. But people want to buy it. You have to have someone. It's like anything. You could sell a fucking can, but you need someone that wants to buy it. All right, whatever. It don't make sense. It really doesn't. I mean, what's the utility behind it? I don't know. Just boil it down as if it was a tangible object.

Right. So if there was 10,000 of these cans and across the board, somebody valued them at $2,000. I don't know who, but that's what the market says.

I don't even fucking know. I think I just realized I don't even understand NFTs. This is so funny, though. And I don't either. That's why I haven't been speaking about it. But it's hard to explain. So all of these cans get bought, right, for $2,000. Well, then there's more people that want to buy them. So then the people that bought them at $2,000 are like, hey, I'll sell it to you for $13,000. Well, someone's like, well, I'll buy it for $13,000 thinking that next week it's going to be worth $30,000.

So it continues. Right? So now artists are doing it for like music. Like Tory Lanez dropped NFT album. So he's dropping like $1 per song. Right? And then he sells a million songs. I mean, all I'm saying is can I like just sell some wheelie pictures? Yeah. Yeah. You can. If you can. Yeah. Well, somebody has to buy them. Hook me up. With what? Yeah.

Money, I guess. No, no, no. E. You don't really need money. You just need a picture. You got some of that E. You give me the E. I spend the E. I was like, where can I get some of that E? I know. That's the first thing I was thinking. This is getting sketchy here. Where do I get it? What's the question or statement? Ryan put in our notes...

He wanted us to ask you some... Explain that gram. Explain that gram. Gram of what? Instagram, Evan. Instagram! Explain my Instagram? Like certain pictures. Yeah, what's it all about? I think people that are listening to this... Bro, you have so many posts right now, dude. People that are listening to this have no idea who we have talking to them right now. I mean, that's just being flat out honest.

You're a very interesting guy. Very dynamic, I would say. You've been around the block. You know a thing or two about a lot of things. A lot of things. I love how broad you're being right now.

I think that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to you. I'm not sure if it was a compliment, but it sounded nice. No, I mean that actually. It was a nice thing. If I told you some crazy situation that happened to me, you'd probably be like, oh yeah, one time that happened to me and this is what I did.

Honestly, I'm just telling you. You would probably have an answer. I've been someplace. I'm not saying you would say it as a breaking way. You'd just be like, this is how it happened and this is what happened. You would tell me how to handle it. I feel like you're able to bring something to any situation. It might not be the same thing.

It might be some words of wisdom. It might be words of learning from a mistake. It might be physical labor, but you're able to bring probably usually a laugh, though. All right, Evan. So I've been told in the notes to explain the gram, Instagram, just to be clear because I don't want you to get the wrong idea. Since when were you a golfer?

Oh, I mean... You look like our golfing videos there. Dude, my parents have a house on a golf course, so I actually grew up golfing. We should start calling you Country Club Evan. Dude, it was a country club. I mean, I just... I wasn't really cut out for golf. I'm a little high strung. No shit. I have a hard time believing that. Yeah, I need to be like... I don't know. Golf's just too slow. The carts aren't fast enough for you? No, it's just not quite...

Not quite on pace with what I like to do. I still enjoy playing once in a while, but it's not my cup of tea. So is it cool, though? That's pretty good, dude. So if we do rip a Reckless Golfing 3, would you come? Oh, I'm going to be there. Even if you don't invite me, I'm showing up. I didn't even mean to do that. Fuck you guys.

CJ, you missed that one, bro. I did. Mike, why do you like that? I don't like it. Why am I like that? Are you trying to give us some hidden message live on the fucking podcast? Fuck. Again. What the fuck, Mike? Again. All right, listen, Evan. We're going to forget about Mike and his sexual...

His sexual agenda is trying to impress over here. Evan, you know, we've had plenty of friends come up to us and want to be involved in the reckless golfing. I'm not going to say names, but I am slightly worried. Because we turn them down. No, it's not that we turn them down. It's because they want to be involved in Reckless Golfing 3, which is inevitable. It's going to happen. I am worried because of the way things evolve.

If you're somebody who works a job and you're employed by somebody and they get to fucking maybe decide some things for you, we're more than likely getting hauled out of that. In Reckless Golfing 3, we are going to be hauled out of there by the cops. We might be going to jail. Realistically, we're probably going to get in trouble, big trouble, I would imagine. You guys got to have a good lawyer, don't you?

It's not even about that. He's the best. Realistically, we're just going to wear it. But we get to wear it. It's kind of part of it.

I just don't want you to have to deal with repercussions. Are you okay with that? Oh, I'm fine with that. All right, then fuck it. You're coming with. Come on. I like to live dangerously. You do. You do. I really think reckless golfing would be extremely reckless if you come. Do you think you would get it? Oh, my God. You think you're... I'm not, like, almost sad. I know. I know.

Bro. I definitely missed it. I feel so left out. What happened? I'm not going to repeat it. Evan's going to join us in Reckless Golfing 3. I'm not coming. But I also want Cody to come and Justin Hansen. I'm just worried about them being in the paper and getting in trouble.

I know, Mike wants Evan to come. But all I'm saying, like, I know you guys don't give a fuck because that's just how you are. But I just don't want you to get in trouble when your name's in the paper and then your boss is like, hey, man. Who reads the paper?

Reckless Golfing 3 is going to be a fucking movie, dude. No, it's going to be crazy. I do love that you're mentally prepared for it. I'm ready for it, yeah. No, because I wasn't. I was ready for it on Reckless Golfing 2. I was ready to have the cops kill me. I'm ready for it, but yeah, I wasn't ready for the cops to come until number 4. But if they come number 3, dude, I'm in. I want all the cops to come. I feel like, Jesus.

Of course you want all the cops coming, Mike. Jesus, dude. Jesus. Holy. This is bad, man. We gotta cut this shit. Mike's getting horny. That would be the greatest intro to a movie we shouldn't talk about. We're getting the cops to come. We're getting all the cops to come. Wrong channel, buddy.

There was one picture that I wanted to talk about. First off, I didn't know you used to have a Ford fucking Ranger. Of course. How did you load the snowmobile in backwards and then put the track up on the roof? I mean, David was there. He helped me. We just...

We just pulled it right on in there. I mean, how do you load a snowmobile on the roof? You just get it up there. That is kind of one of those things like there is no good way to do that. Yeah, we just pulled it on up. Do you think you'd want to stand up right now? I will get this guy's dad up.

I'm surprised. Well, dude, I'm just making... Dude, because if I had a boner, then you guys, all your shit would be valid. But I have to ask you, Evan. Like, I straight up can't see you behind this leaning T of pizza. I'm like straight up like watching you... Oh, shit! Damn it, dude. That was... We worked for 45 minutes on that. All right, Mike, sorry to...

I just got tea all over Evan. That was a fully. It's only 11, 12 at night. I want to ask you, okay, so one of the first times Evan hung out with us at the shop, he goes, we got to watch this movie. We got to watch this documentary together. It's super good. Anyone will say that. I'm like, sure, dude, I love documentaries. It's kind of a hidden gem. And we rip a video that I would never have came across, probably ever, any of us, and it's called Carts of Darkness.

How did you come across that? And, like, why is it, like, you guys just have to watch it, but, like, it's phenomenal. It's just like how you come across anything on YouTube. It literally just popped up, and it was, the thumbnail was, like, a dude riding a shopping cart down a hill. Of course, I'm going to click on it. Let's check it out. And then, I mean, just the first, like, minute, the intro is really intriguing. Like, this guy, like, blows his leg out and, like, crashes into a truck or something. Yeah.

So like in the first 30-40 seconds it sucks you right in And then I mean I just decided to watch it about 100 and something times after that And share it with all my friends Every time you're here It's amazing It's like your goodnight lullaby Where you can't fall asleep without it Oh exactly yeah It's a nightcap Every time I come in in the morning It goes are you still watching Carts of Darkness Carts of Darkness

Dude, I mean, it's actually like... You've probably literally watched it over a hundred times. Yeah, I'd say right around a hundred probably. I mean, I've started it a hundred times. Evan. Evan. Ben. Do you want us to try and get you in Carts of Darkness 2? I mean, yes, if that means that you guys come up to Duluth and we steal a bunch of shopping carts...

and ride them down the hills, then yes, I want to be part of Carts of Darkness 2. Carts of Darkness 2, filmed and produced by Seaboys TV. We're not even in it, just Evan. Carts of Darkness 6.9. A bunch of homeless people and Evan. Yeah, I was going to say, a little bit of a premise. The...

Guys who bomb the hills on carts, the way they make their living is collecting bottles. So we have to do a little bit of that too. It's a very fascinating film. It really is. But also it is slightly hard to watch at the start. For you, for some reason, it intrigues you and it gets high viewer retention.

It sucks you in. It hooks you exactly whatever YouTube video wants to do. But for me, it's almost like, oh, this is okay. I just remember when you explained it, you're like, yeah, it sounds dumb, but watch the first two minutes. You'll be hooked. I've probably seen it like 30 times. I mean, I'm not saying it's not a good video. I'm just saying it is at first. You got to get over the hump. What else do you watch on YouTube? Evan? Seaboys TV mainly.

Uh, cops. Why are you all sweaty, bro? Sorry, I was just watching cops. Evan, do you ever, like, show, uh, is it, I mean, you got a very nice girlfriend now, but, like, do you ever, uh, before that or maybe even when you picked up your current girlfriend, did you ever, like, bring her home and just be like, hey, uh, let's, let's watch some Seaboys TV and you click, like, like a video that has you starring in it?

Allegedly. One of the million view videos? Allegedly, I've played that video many times. Did it help you? Which one? Like the ice one. That was a good one. Right. That one did the job. Otherwise, the Gold Creek one. Yeah, I mean, might get home from the bar, maybe just throw that on. Just throw it on, and you're like, oh, is that on? Whoa, I didn't know they were playing that. Oh, shit. Oh, is that me? When she's in the bathroom, you flick it on her. Okay, fine.

You like candles. Hide the remote. Set the mood, Evan. Laying there on a- What the fuck am I doing on the TV? What does that say? A couple million views? Dang. So did it work? That's the main part of it. Did it help? Do you think, or did it hurt? I mean, I think I was getting it either way, but I think it helped. The confidence is unparalleled. I mean, I wouldn't doubt you there. I wouldn't doubt you there, Evan.

So, Evan, you're a northerner, right? Would you consider yourself a northerner? True. You live in northern Minnesota? Yeah, I mean, I guess. But anyone north of me, I consider a northerner and I feel south. You're like, okay, okay, okay. So, I mean, am I northern to you? Probably. Probably more east than anything, but... All right, we don't have to get too specific here. So, I'm insanely entertained.

by the Snapchats that you send us, just of your weekend shenanigans. It's the things that I wish the internet could see, but you just keep them to yourself and you just hold them up, but occasionally they'll hit your Instagram feed, right? So I'm very curious as to what...

Was this guy... Is this guy okay? Let's start out with that. Is this guy okay? I'll show it. Yeah, yeah. That's my buddy Kyle. Shout out to Kyle. He busted up a few ribs on that one. He borrowed his dad's four-wheeler, probably without permission. We were young there. We were like 18, 19. Yeah, he got bodied. Dude, we had got all liquored up and went back to the old climbing hill. And yeah, he...

I think that was the last time he ever rode his dad's wheelie, though. That's my favorite thing. Bro, he put the foot down like it was a brake. Yeah. He gave it a good run. I mean, that's what happens. It was a big hill. That's my favorite thing is up north when you guys aren't getting too liquored up, you're on bikes, and then you're like, yeah, when we're really...

When we're really drinking, we get on the wheelers to keep it safe. Oh, yeah, you ride the wheelchairs. Wheelchairs when you're drinking. To keep it safe. Yeah. To keep it safe. Bro, I was like, I went up there to visit for one weekend, and you guys did more crazy shit than we do on a weekend. Yeah, you guys should really consider getting a YouTube channel.

I don't know how. I just do the things, not the filming and the editing and the making money part. I don't know how to do that. People have been trying to snatch you up, though, haven't they? I mean, there's been a few, I don't know what the word is, uh...

Inquiries? Inquiries, there we go. What do they try to do? I mean, I don't know, we just kind of talk about it and then, I don't know, we just... Try to make a video. The stars don't align. Like, what do you mean? What do you mean? Like, you try to make a YouTube video or what? I guess I've never really tried to make a YouTube video. I mean, like, I've a few times, like, go to, like, do shoots and stuff and whatever. And that's all cool and it works out good, but, like...

I don't know. A lot of this stuff that happens is, like, spur of the moment. You know what I mean? Like, you can't plan a shoot, but then, like, I mean, the cool stuff that happens is just, like, when it happens. You can't plan that stuff. So it's, like, you need, like, what you guys have. Like, you guys have your crew, and you're, like, always just, like, on the same page all the time. We do a good job of making, like, we set up an environment for mayhem.

Yeah. That's a great way to put it. And then have a camera rolling. We set up an environment for where you're going to thrive in and where we're all going to thrive in. And then that's when we're rolling the cameras because we know, like, we want to, like, make this good and we don't want to make it entertaining. What could we do to possibly make this stand out from the rest? You know, and it's like when you deliberately try and you, like,

you know, really make it a thing. Like we make it very natural. Like you don't, when you show up, you show up, you don't, you don't know what's going on. You don't care. Like we're just hanging out. But like, maybe we're like, Oh, we're going to like go do this really quick. But just like that little thing steers us in the direction for, uh,

a great video. What makes you so entertaining is the fact that you don't have to think about that. You don't have to think about is somebody getting this shot or what am I saying after or how do I set this up?

And there's people that are so entertaining. And then as soon as they have to be like the producer of it, it like eliminates it. Yeah. It just takes away like the, the entertainment factor of what made that person special. Right. Not saying that you don't, you couldn't do that obviously, but yeah,

I'm just saying, you thrive best when we're just like, Devin, hit that jump, bro. And you're like, okay. You don't have to think about it. You just do it. We film it. Half the time, we're not even trying to film it. It's just you're doing it. I'm just trying to fucking pop the battery in order to...

Get it real quick. And the thing is, is like back home, I mean, we're not filming anything ever. Just do it for fun. Do it for that little rush or whatever. The hell of it. Yeah, exactly. Right. And that's why I think it always comes off so good because we really are doing it for fun. Like I'll look back on...

One of our most viewed videos, the thumbnails, is me on the shifter cart and you on the dirt bike. That is a sick thumbnail, picture, photo, whatever. Was that not a fun day? The whole day was amazing, but just even that thumbnail is crazy. So sick. It's cool, too, because that's not Photoshopped at all. I actually thought it was right away. A lot of times if you have two vehicles like that, you'd have to Photoshop it together. It'd be very hard to capture it.

two things sideways moving that fast. Moving fast and in focus. But that was, dude, the stars aligned on that one. I don't know why. I just look back on, like, that, like...

It was like we were grinding and like shit was blowing up. But also we were having so much fun. Like, like we went out on the lake that day. We did all this crazy shit. We came back after being on the ice all day, hop in the hot tub. Then right from the hot tub, we hopped in a limo and drove to Fargo and went like downtown, got all hammered and shit and drove back. It was just a blast. Yeah.

no we didn't we didn't i mean i know maybe i'm mistaken what did we do that day cj was so confident i was like yep that was a good day i'm not trying to be that guy but i'm just saying i have never been to fargo with you guys short of to the airport to pick up uh

homie that does raps maybe not maybe that was a different day i mean i'm sure we went somewhere else and got drunk but not far ago but all i know is it all blends together at some point either way it was great either way i'd say there's so many good times when you come here that like it's hard to keep straight honestly either way man that was the best i'm excited for this winter to get back on the day nice we have been on our two a week run we always pick it up in the fall because we just uh

Don't have as many distractions. We just get dialed in. We're all about it. We always are all about it, but you need to pace yourself because you're going to burn out if you're just constantly putting in days like today, per se. We've said this before, but everyone leaves in the fall. There's no one around. Guess what we get to do? You can do your own thing. It's nice. It's really nice. Especially in the winter when there's actually no one around.

You kind of get to make your own rules. Right. Exactly, man. Well, Evan, appreciate you coming on, man. I can't wait to see the video footage of whatever the fuck you managed to do on your dirt bike in Gold Creek.

It's not his dirt bike, though. It's a rental. I have never had a rental bike before. I'm going to fuck it up. Do it, Evan. You should. Ghost ride that bitch. Sorry, I came on the line. I'm at least going to scrape that fender off. At the bare minimum, we might be on the hook for a fender. Ride it till the bolts fall off. Till the wheels fall off. Dude, I'm also looking forward to the videos that aren't on a bike.

we can capture any of those yeah yeah i think you guys will be hitting up maybe possibly collabing with grind hard plumbing oh yeah they're a huge channel if you if you don't know who they are but they kill it they do the most insane builds shout out to those guys they're they're awesome wait so i might get to drive a barbie jeep you might so evan and we get to stay at david's for the first time ever too it's gonna be crazy i can't wait to burn that place down dude dude yeah david built the house on top of a mountain and it's

Fucking sick. And he never lets us stay there. So let's not spoil it for the video though. Right. Let's, let's cut it here. We've had a great podcast. Oh, what did we just film?

Realistically, just the boys talk. This really wasn't much of like... This is the hardest I've laughed in a while. It was a blast. This was an easy one. That was so fun. Easy. Nothing but entertaining. So entertaining. I love you guys. Thank you so much. Hit the subscribe button. We'll see you next time. Peace. Let's go. See you, Slim. See you, Steve. Peace.
