I'm going to try the Jake Thomas. No headphones? No headphones. Last week, we filmed this TV show for our buddy, Jake Thomas. He's our local radio friend. He's actually been a ride or die with us for a long time, long time. But anyway, he does this show called Rides, and he hit us up and was like, hey, I want to come to your guys' shop, show your shop, show all your cars, and do everything like that for my show. And, you know, he's always had our back, and we were excited for the opportunity to do something with him. So we were like, of course. Well,

Well, then afterwards we were sitting there talking like, Hey, how long have you been in radio for? He was like 40 years. We're like, no kidding. And so he was just, you know, giving us advice on, on, uh,

how to keep a conversation going or come to a something like a podcast with like certain topics and then how to go deeper into them but he was like yeah and if you're wearing headphones uh i would just take those off it feels a lot more natural really so he thought more natural without the headphones yeah dude he can talk to himself it's actually so easy like we did a tour of all of our cars and he goes and tours like crazy crazy garages where it's like the random dude with a big

barn that's like outside in the country and then you walk in there and it's got every piece of memorabilia and every car is pristine with like two miles on it so we aren't really as like normal clientele but he was able to literally like talk to himself and just keep it going it's pretty impressive imagine doing a three-hour show by yourself like three times a week oh like that's crazy you know 40 years you know what i thought was uh the most

I shouldn't say interesting, but the most funny part was when we had to do the show three times. We had to film it three times. Oh, my God. Because the first time, I didn't have a mic, and they were like, go in there. And then they're like, oh, we should really have a mic on CJ. Let's redo it. Redid it again the second time. I was like, okay, we knocked it out of the park there.

30 minutes later, guy just goes, oh, I wasn't recording. It's literally his only job was he was sitting there with headphones on holding a mic recording box. He didn't hit record the whole show. The whole damn show. That was fucking funny. And then we're like, okay. So we had to redo it. So I have to make a purchase.

Ryan's buying another rights to another song. What song do you think it is? Comment down below. Can you imagine if that's what it was? He's like, I just got the, you know, 1.1% rights to Toxic by Britney Spears. Think it's a good investment? I don't know. That might be. I don't know about that song. That song is not. Well, that was maybe a bad example, but so many people. Yo, running up chill bill for you, right? So many nice people for that one. It's pretty nice.

I heard Ryan on the phone a little bit earlier. I don't want to, I don't want to out what he's buying. I was in the bathroom and he was out on the phone with like this lady. It sounded like, and I came out and listened to their conversation for like five minutes. And I was like, what are you buying? And maybe another Hummer. Well,

That's what it sounded like when he was like, well, how shitty is the paint? Can you see the Bondo? That's what he said? That's like how it was going. Dude, I would... I was like, this dude just never learns. I mean, there's a lot of things that could happen that would make all of us laugh. But like, yeah, if Ryan pulled up us unknowing with a new Hummer, we'd be like... And it was yellow? Pfft.

Oh man, that'd be great. Like the same year Hummer? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean just the old school Hummer because they do exist out there like still cherry and the worst part is they're way more than 10 grand which is kind of a crime but I think Hummer the Hummer joke is just not fair anymore.

You know, it's proven itself time and time over again. I can't sit here and rag on it too hard. It's damn near got... I mean, like, let's compare it. Just as much fame as, like, the Lambo. Probably more. More. Way more. It's probably...

more hits and views than Ben's Lambo. I would say, yeah, hits. For sure, for sure. Probably 10 times over. Well, I wouldn't quite go that far. Like, it's memorable. You know, it's actually cool. No, I mean, let's be real. Like, Ben's Lambo is very memorable. Everyone snappages it Not really, though. It's just like a stock Lambo as far as the internet goes. I mean,

Well, yeah. You know? Yeah, within the group. You're right. Every YouTuber has a Lambo. CJ. You got to wide body that bitch. And like, I don't know. Dude, people have done that too. It's not even cool. It doesn't do anything. Nothing. The dually forward ranger. That's cool. That right there. That's classic. Yeah. Which that pulled the boat today amazingly. I would like to say I was surprised, but I would have been surprised if it wouldn't have. Yeah. I had so much faith in it. As soon as we dropped it down, I saw the way it was sitting. I was like, oh, this is going to be perfect.

And I was honestly, it was very sturdy. Yeah, it felt secure. And normally the last dunce that we did with it, you know, whenever we hooked the gooseneck up to it, it sits on its bump stops, and it wasn't. And so, like, I don't know. That boat was light work for it. My favorite part was when we were at the –

axis and the the old guy you know he's he's sitting there on his fishing boat waiting to load up and he's like well what's that thing got for a motor and we're just we're so excited about the ranger that we're like oh just a just a six cylinder isn't it crazy yeah he was talking about the boat and then we're just going on and on 99 ford ranger v6 and then he goes the best isn't it uh i was i was talking about the boat yeah

I don't know. We just get so fired up over that thing. It just outshines everything in our eyes. When people are driving by looking, we're like, Ford Ranger, 99. Only thing done to it is spacers. Yeah.

I think we got to put a different motor in it. Yeah, I agree. I think we need a diesel swap it. Like, imagine if that thing had a Cummins in it or a Powerstroke or a Duramax. I think a Duramax would probably be a biggest hit. Really? Yeah, I genuinely don't know, but I'm down for anything diesel. Duramax swap Ford Ranger. Big wrench is down. Really? Yeah, I think we should Duramax it. So, okay, so we talked about...

bringing on Big Wrench. He's our mechanic, our fabricator guy. Like what he's managed to build in the last 30 days should not be possible in 30 days. And we just keep throwing projects at him. And it's funny though, because like some of them, for instance, the Hummer pontoon, it was a Tuesday and we asked Big Wrench if we could have it done by Wednesday night. Yeah.

He just welded and welded and cut and welded. It was more of a question of how long do you think it would take? Do you think it could be done in two days? But apparently he brought that one to Evan and said, you're not going to believe what these idiots thought I could do in two days. And Evan's like rolling his eyes like, I tried telling him to be more realistic. But to be fair, he got it done in three days. Yeah.

Yeah. Which was amazing. You can't be realistic, though, when you want to make shit happen. Sorry to cut you off, Mike. No, that's... I was just saying, it's funny that he was consulting Evan about it because Evan is pretty easygoing and he stands up for himself

for some things he believes in and some things he believes in that we do is just unrealistic deadlines and unrealistic pushing to make things happen. I mean, to be fair though, everything is unrealistic and nothing makes sense. And if you sit there and think about it too long, you're going to talk yourself out of it because it's such a stupid idea. You might as well just... Yeah, you're just wasting time. You better get started. Quit thinking about it and just do it. So then we're just compensating

constantly, I mean, Big Wrench, he's done so well. Obviously, we knew he was going to do well. He fits in the crew so well, too. He doesn't need the camera at all, but he really, because he's quite a bit older than us, but he really enjoys being a part of the finished product, which is so fun. I think he's enjoying working here. I mean, I guess I can't speak for him, but it seems like he's chilling, dude. He's having a good time. He shows up every day, and he seems pretty...

like he's obviously in a good mood and i think he's having fun i'm sure it's a big change from being like a race you know because it's probably very serious you're like okay what do we got to do here we're just like yeah what do you think put the toilet on the shifter car do you think we could do that and he's like okay yeah it's free reign partially because uh he really does have more skill and experience than us and partially because it's like well

We'd be doing the same thing, just huck and pray. I think we could do a lot of these things. I just don't think we'd be able to make them happen as fast. Right. Because we would have to spend way more time looking at it, figuring out, and then also consulting with other people. We'd have to like outsource fabricating and like, you know, stuff like that. Which is what we've done for the last six years. Yeah, exactly. But now it's like, we just have him here and he's just like, he's so quick because he's got...

I don't know, 40 years of experience of just fixing stuff and fabricating stuff and welding and whatever. And so like he just can...

crank them out dude I pitched him on this new toilet idea that I had yeah he legit looks at me laughs and goes let's maybe wait at least a month between toilet builds he's got his family at home that he needs to like explain what he did at work each day another toilet what'd you build at work today

Another toilet. They're like sitting around. Another toilet? I know. I tried telling them. I tried telling them. It needs some time. Have me put nitrous on it this time. Yeah. You guys remember back in the day when somebody would drive like their mom's car and...

the whole crew would be in it and you'd be ripping it and be like, damn, this thing's actually fast. Who would have known that Accords were actually fast? And it always changed. Like I had this perception that like certain cars were fast when they actually weren't. And it was like every time Jake, our friend Jake, would drive like his mom's car or like one of his dad's workers' cars or something like that, and he would just rip the shit out of it. We thought that it was fast, but no.

But it really wasn't. He would just drive it that fast. So now every time I see like Accords, I'm like, that thing's actually got some get up and go to it. Kind of do. That was the same thing with my friend Sean. He had a Focus, just a normal Ford Focus, but he'd drive it super fast. And I thought that thing was like fast. I remember telling my dad, I want a Ford Focus.

I never necessarily, like, using Jake as an example, like, he drove the Outbacks as fast as he could. I never thought those were fast. But then he had his red Grand Cherokee just like mine, but it was a V8. And he could drive that like I was getting in a trophy truck with someone. I'm like, you don't have to 100% throttle everywhere you go. I'm scared. Remember the Ford Edge days? What was your guys' favorite vehicle you think you've owned? My Ford Raptor.

You do love your Raptor, man. Probably my Subaru. Which one? Oh, the yellow one. Not the Impreza? I never had. Or whatever the heck. The Legacy. No, love that because that was back in the day when it was all I had. Love that. But no, I mean, it has nothing to compare to the yellow bug. Probably my Corvette. Yeah, it was a good rig. Yeah, it was a great rig. It looked amazing. For the time...

It was like nothing like it. I had never experienced anything like it, especially for the whole crew too. That was kind of like the first really cool car in the group. Yeah, I feel like I've owned a Corvette now because you have. That is the nice part. Actually, we all kind of get to experience everything. Yeah, I can tell people that my friend owns a Lamborghini. I never had to buy it. That is nice.

Yeah, nice for me. I got a surprise for you guys. Oh? Just kidding. You already know what it is. But I have a surprise for everyone else listening because I'm sure you guys have heard us talk about this. In two years. We finally got our one million subscriber play button. We did it, boys. Woo! Pretty sick. My favorite part is that

All of us at one point at least have called it, yeah, we got our two million play button. That's not a thing because it came after two million. But yeah, it's pretty sick. And I don't know why we finally got it now. I don't know what happened that they were like, cool, now it's good to go. But we got it. So you had to reapply for it? Yeah, I basically went through because the first time we applied, they said that we had unoriginal content, right? Yeah, it was some kind of error, yeah.

I think the reason that they said that is because sometimes when we use copywritten music, we'll upload a bit of that, whatever we had edited to that song, and then just upload it and see if it gets copywritten or not. And we had two songs uploaded, and they were both copywritten, so we weren't going to use them. And that was the last two songs, I think, on the channel. Did they not do anything else? They were just like, yeah, these guys got...

A million subscribers by uploading copywritten songs. Like what? Did Matilda help you get that? No, I literally just logged in and it was like apply. And then I did. And then it like shot me back a code and I put the code in and I put in the shipping information. It just like worked. Can you order more of those? Can you, or did you just get like, yeah, you can. Can you order more? Yeah. You have to pay for them. But then, so we get a little, just a little, I don't know, piece of paper that says,

If you and your team want more, email this email. That's it. That's all it says. I'm going to. I have it in my room. I am also going to. Maybe we should just all get. Dude, I want one. No, I just have Ryan do it, and he can get us all one. And then I'll order it for all of us. But I'm saying, yeah. How many do you guys want? I'd say one for each of us. Big Wrench needs one in his house, in his kitchen. Big Wrench has been a YouTuber for one month. He's already got a million play button.

It's on his fridge. Like with his kid's artwork. He's like, guys, I really, I don't want, I don't want this. He's like, is this cool? We're like, yeah. I was listening to Theo Vaughn, Full Send Podcast. And they were talking about teachers and stuff. You guys ever have a hot teacher? Oh, that were hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Well, I think everyone has a hot teacher that you think is hot in the time. And then you like look back at the yearbook and you're like,

Oh, man. She was just hot because she was like... A female? A female that was a teacher, you know, compared to the other teachers. And you like sat there and looked at her each day. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, there was always like hot... I don't know if I actually even had a hot teacher, but there was always like hot teachers in the... They were hot relative to like... Well, in the grade...

And then you were lucky if you got to be in like their class. Oh, like one of those things. So it was like only like a, like a mystery, like, Oh man, I wonder what it's like to be in her class. But yeah, I agree that that is a scenario, but I did have one that was just,

Just plain hot. Really? I feel like there's no two ways around it. Honestly, still is. She was a choir teacher. Okay, that makes sense. Was she cool? Yeah, she was super cool. I think that's the worst part. The only way to truck through all the comments, especially when you're

A hot high school teacher. I mean, I'm not going to lie. I think it would suck. I'm not saying, you know, you'd prefer to be an ugly high school teacher. I think, yeah, I think it would be, you can still be cool and ugly, but if you're cool and hot, you're just getting bombarded by, I mean, high school boys, I guess. Or maybe vice versa. Dude, you got to know that though. I think. Like if you're good looking,

and you're going to be a teacher, like, you got to know that's coming. That's true. I agree. You know, it's almost, what? It's funny. You got to know that high school boys are going to be hitting my head. I mean, yeah. What do you expect? Like, because I'm just saying, like, it happened, and it happened so much, and most of it's, like, 99% of it is all behind, like, closed doors. You know, no one would ever hear about it. Behind closed doors? Yeah.

The speaking. Oh, not to her. I thought there was... My buddy Ken knows a thing or two about hot teachers. No comment? Yeah, no. We had a couple hot teachers at our school. Yeah. Ken knew them real well. I think one of them got fired, though, because they...

What did you make? No, I was going to like kind of... I think they hooked up with one of the students. No, it wasn't one of... The tall bearded ones? Yeah, Ken. Well, it didn't have the Ken look 21 when he was 16. They thought he was the janitor. No, that was the other thing. Sometimes when you get a...

This isn't just necessarily my school, but sometimes you get younger, more attractive teachers. They end up getting fired because they're... Seriously? Yeah, I mean... Female teachers or male teachers? Because I feel like there is a little bit of like if it's a male teacher, it's like, ooh, that's fucked up. And if it's a girl teacher, you're kind of just like... Just like one... Hooking up with a student? Maybe not hooking up, but flirting. Well, with another teacher there. Two teachers can't? They're both married. Oh, man.

One of those. And then. Wait, is this what I'm thinking? Yeah, well, how about when you were like, you had a teacher that, you know, would hang out with another teacher of the opposite sex. Like, you had a female teacher that would hang out with, like, the other male teacher. And they could have just been friends. But, like, the entire class is like, I bet they're together. Oh.

I had two teachers like that. They were both young and we always, everybody, you know, of course was making jokes, but the guy, I don't know if he had much, much skills on, on, uh, yeah, not much risk, but, uh, they ended up getting married. So it worked out. Yeah. It's really funny because it was going down. Apparently it was going down and I feel like we all knew it was, but I saw this Tik TOK one time of a guy being like,

All right. I know there's, you know, a bunch of rumors that you kids are spreading, seventh graders, that me and Miss Johnson are dating and I just want to come up here, confirm that we are. And then he drops down on a knee and proposes. What? In front of the classroom. What? That's weird. I was like, what? Couldn't think of anywhere better. I was just going to say, I'd be like, lame. Yeah.

I know we talked about bad proposals, but that's up there. That's cringe. That's up there. Yeah. I mean, maybe I guess they're really about the kids and the school and stuff, you know? I mean, I feel like you got to be a teacher. God bless them. Today's episode is brought to you by Angie.

My dad asked me, I was talking to him on the phone this morning, and he was like, hey, I'm going to have some work done at this, my land, what are you, um...

by so-and-so, you had him as a teacher, didn't you? And I almost couldn't even help myself. I was like, yeah, fuck that guy. Oh, really? Yeah, he's an ass. And then I was like trying to think. I was like, man, why did I hate that guy so much? Couldn't remember really why, but still something within me. Seventh grade, I'm not going to say what, but...

Yeah. Don't really remember what the context of it was, but clearly it stuck with me enough for 12 years later to be like, tell my dad that. And then I caught myself. I was like...

Still use him. Still use him. Don't let my opinion, you know, sway. I hate to. His work might be decent. Yeah. I hate to have this guy, you know, he could have been having a bad day back in seventh grade. He could have had a bad year. A bad year. But yeah. He probably tells the same story about you. I had this one asshole student. They'd think back and he goes, I don't really remember why I didn't like him. But that could be true. Yeah. Hot teachers. Bless them. Bless them.

So I've been seeing, this is like a conversation that has been swelling up for a while. I've been seeing some TikToks and maybe some reels about it. But yeah, just dudes expressing themselves about how much they dislike the side-by-side community. And they go off, but they have a lot of good points. And, you know, at the end of the day, I disagree with it because I love side-by-sides and I think they...

aren't the future but they're a big part of the future like what type of dude i'm confused so it's like dudes that um i would say they're like you remember when side by sides were just like a gator you know and they didn't they went 35 and that was about it and then and then when the razors and stuff came out it was cool it was really cool for a little bit and uh wow okay this is not a four-wheeler it's cool and

And then he's like, now it's just getting out of hand. A lot of it comes down to, like, I guess if you don't have the money for it, then, of course, you can complain about it. But it really has. It came down to people spending $40,000.

uh, $50,000 for a OEM stock unit. And now it's gone to like 40, 50, $80,000 maybe to soup up a razor. A lot of them are like 80 maybe. And some, and some guys, they're kind of going after the guys that just drive them on the street. You know, there are pavement princesses like side by sides. Also going after the guys that are like all building these $50,000 units and just rolling them down a hill like in one weekend. Well, that's what they should do.

do. I know. I was like, yeah, I can't imagine they're too stoked about it, but yeah, it's just like he was just going off about it and a lot of good points that it's a little over the top, but I'm like, but what is it? I mean, just everything with cars. You have like

The guys who run the super crazy stance. I think that's lame. Well, there's going to be those extremists in every aspect, but I mean, who, who's saying this? Is it like the, I just, the Banshee guy that is like, probably four or is it like a vehicle? It's more like it, dude, it seemed more like the diehard quad guys, but the, yeah, I picture a Banshee guy that's got all this money into Banshees and it's,

So chromed up Or like a three wheeler guy Who's just like Side by side Wouldn't touch it I drove the side by side Home today And then back And it was nice It was a great cruise Except I would like A full windshield Yeah it's a little eye watering When you're moving fast

And you were allegedly going 90? That thing is fast, bro. I hit 94, dude. Holy shit. I had no freaking idea. That's crazy. I didn't know it went that fast. I didn't know it went that fast. I still had a little bit left in it, but I was holding my one hand. It was a little squirrely. The thing might be slightly bent from hitting the big jumps that you guys have done. Yeah, that, too. You pull a shifter curveball. I was thinking that. I'm like, God damn. It won't be the same. Those things are amazing, though, honestly. Like, for what it is, you kind of just got to –

respect it for what it is and ignore the fact that 50% of the time that you turn the key, something's going to break on it. But like it, what you can do on it is pretty good. Ours is really good though.

though yeah like i feel like we took off the metal kit or we put on a new roof the metal roof and it doesn't have the washers in between that's what's right but like you can drive that thing down the road like cj and then you can go and jump it like mike was jumping that thing what 100 feet yeah that's what i mean it's pretty amazing it's crazy though it is an expensive unit it literally drives like a car has as much power as most cars but yet has as much suspension as a trophy truck

and you can do anything with a solid rig yeah it's got a freaking bluetooth radio in it i gotta give a shout to uh side by side blog boys for that cage oh yeah i just like hit them up i'm like dude we need a cage you know ken just injured himself this and that and then they just hooked it up so you guys need parts go to them i love those guys you got great vids too i do actually yeah i love those guys we've talked about them before they're they're a group of guys just like us

but I was, uh, I was like a naysayer of the whole like live valve suspension. Like ours is just has three settings, which is pretty dope. And then I know on the can AMS, they have like the low,

Like it reads 26,000 times a second. I think ours does too. It seems like overkill. But you know, it seems like a lot of extra money for whatever. And then you use it and you're like, Oh, this is the best thing ever. Yeah. It's comfort for whatever firm for big jumps. And it makes a difference. Yeah. Yeah. There's like a whole community around here of guys with like Rangers and

And I've never seen them dirty. They just drive them back and forth to like the gas station because you hear them like whirring by when they go by because the tires are so loud. Yeah, you see Rangers all the time now. So do Rangers get roped into the same class? I think that kind of sparked it again. It was like you get a bunch of guys

that are using them as golf carts. Yeah, that's what they are. They're like a fast golf cart. But at the end of the day, a lot louder, a lot faster, and a lot more aggressive than a golf cart. And you got guys hopping, well, this thing's got AC, and it looks cool. You probably do a lot more with a golf cart than most people do with a side-by-side mic.

That's true. Honestly, I think we all do. We love fucking around on golf carts. Golf carts are some of the best vehicles ever made. They're like little chicken nuggets for the road. Well, they're actually not meant for the road, but they're like little chicken nuggets with wheels. Can't beat them. They don't have enough power to hurt themselves, really. And they're so dense that everything's close together that it doesn't really bend that easy. So you can really do whatever you want with them. It's like Evan. It's kind of like Evan. Evan's like a human golf cart.

Like he's just kind of dense. He's built. Well, he can take a beating. Well built. He maybe picked that up from growing up on the country club. Maybe. Oh yeah. Picked up a thing or two from the golf carts. We were talking about, uh, you know, we got a rep reckless golfing coming up at some point here. And, uh,

And we were talking about parking the golf cart on the greens. You know, if I were to do that, maybe it seems kind of just... It does seem disrespectful. But okay, park it up there. It's not like you're going to do a burnout. Evan's like, seriously, I'm not going to be a part of that. Well, he didn't want to be a part of any of the reckless golfing last year. He really didn't. Which we were...

Very caught off guard by it. You'd think he'd be all about it. Yeah, we're like, dude, have some teas. It's like three hours. We'll get kicked out soon. I'm worried about Grandpa Ron if we bring him with Reckless Golfing. He's going to have golf etiquette like Evan because they both...

would go golfing on the country club. And that's what we don't have. And that's why we have no sympathy when we get in there. But I believe we have some form of like course etiquette, like in all of our videos, never any golf carts through or across the greens, like stuff like that. We're never tearing up the lawn. You know, you jump a golf cart off a bunker a couple of times and you. No damage. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's never anything that there would be a trace of us being there. Wow.

Which I believe there's art in that. I'd agree with that. A tasteful. I just think we're, yeah, at the end of the day, we're not being dicks. Yeah. Like really to the property or definitely to people. Yeah, we're just being reckless. But going off that about Grandpa Ron, he's...

so locked in when he does shit. He's so locked in. He just deletes everything out of his brain and he just does it. No matter who he's talking to, if you've never seen him in his life, doesn't get that nervousness of, well, I hope it's funny. He just goes for it. If he's not on his home country,

Turf, maybe he'll loosen up a little bit. Won't think that way. Get him to a crappy local course. Yeah, I mean, depending on when you guys are watching this, if you're watching it early, we might be reckless golfing right now. That's on the schedule, yeah. Evan and I are going to need to be medicated for that. Yeah, Ryan, you don't like doing that either. I feel like you just got to get a mindset. I was telling you guys, like, I think we got to...

start prepping like for the next, like a five day prep prep, just get ready. Get rid of all the cares in the world. Yeah. Things are going to break around here and it's going to happen, but we're just getting in the mindset. I love that idea. I'm just trying to think of like how to do it because at the end of the day, it really is easy to go cold Turkey when you guys are doing pranks and when you're doing any of that stuff, just go, I don't care. None of these people are going to see me ever again. Do whatever I want. Well, that,

Yeah, we are blacklisted from like most of the golf courses around. Dude, we were trying to go golfing last weekend and we're like, oh, well, we could go over to this course. We're like, oh, you probably need a tee time there. We're like, well, we could go over to that local course. You don't need a tee time there. We're like, well, we're probably not allowed back there. Pretty jammed up last time we were there. Yeah, we got to start going. We got to travel to go golfing now. That is...

a potential though ev said we could maybe go up to his but oh my goodness i mean i don't know he sounded like more more comfortable of the idea of that he was like no no then we could at least ask for forgiveness easier i don't know i don't know how that'd work i think you're better off just getting in the truck and peeling out of there yeah the biggest thing is that i mean it sounds bad to say but like i just don't want to get kicked out too early they can kick us out

I hope no one gets arrested. I'm not planning for that. Well, dude, it was so funny. Our buddy Connor the other day asked if he's like, the next time you guys go reckless golfing, I want to come. We've been asked that plenty of times before. And I'm like, maybe. And then Evan, I don't know if he was just trying to scare him away or what, but he's like, well, are you good to...

Maybe get arrested. I was like, whoa, I'm not planning on that. That's how Evan looks at reckless golfing. Like parked within five yards of the green. You're getting arrested. Cops are coming. And then, yeah, you guys shank it because you're a shitty golfer. Jail. Forget to yell four. That's two jails. Man, I think that...

So many groups have came through a lot of these golf courses and done way worse things like these bachelor parties and stuff like that. Yeah. Just like people who actually truly don't care. Yeah. And they're truly like, we're one and done. And they're truly liquored up too. Yeah. Once we ever talk about reckless golfing, I feel like somebody in a group will pipe up and go, oh, me and my buddies, we got kicked out on so-and-so's bachelor party. We went there and we go, what'd you guys do? Oh, well...

We rolled three golf carts. Yeah, I was going to say they rolled multiple carts. We left cans. Like, they just start saying some real, like, golf cart in the pond. Yeah, we're like, we left a golf cart in the pond. And we're like, seriously? Be like, we need you to do reckless golfing. I don't know. I think we do a pretty damn good job. Yeah, we're at it. So last weekend, we flew up.

The winners of the 2 million sweatshirt giveaway that we did. So 2 million subscribers sold a sweatshirt. Everyone that bought the sweatshirt got entered to win. Weekend with us. Picked the winner and we flew him and his buddy up. Total beauties. Total beauties. Good kids. 22 years old.

Honestly, just like us, enjoy the same stuff. And they were just a good hang. Good hang. I was telling someone that they were a little too normal for us. We like hanging out with weirdos. We have the most fun with what we do. The weirder you are, we appreciate it. We're almost like... All of our friends right now are like...

Oh, fuck. Is that me? No one else hangs with me. And this isn't a bad thing. I'm sure they are listening to this right now. We didn't meme them. We just had a genuine good time. That's what I mean. Well, they didn't meme themselves. Yeah. You got to meme yourself. They didn't give us any ammo. No.

Which is actually super surprising because we spent three days with them and they didn't leave us with anything. They were just normal dudes. They got to see the good, the bad, the ugly, all of it. They got a pretty true experience. The real experience, yeah. So are we taking the Hummer pontoon out? We ended up getting the Hummer pontoon registered.

as an actual homemade as a pontoon yeah so it's registered it's got numbers it is legal to take out on the water it is a legal boat it's legal no that's what i don't know what they'll say when they see it but because we'll have everything but no no it's registered it's everything we got it we went through the work we paid for it just got a lot of insurance

No. I don't believe you need insurance. You don't. So we could take... Cars insured. We could take that... Maybe just leave that on. It's got to count for something. We could take that thing to the Sandbar this weekend. I think that'd be funny. Dude, it'd be so awesome. Everyone will be packed in there and we come rolling in with the Hummer. Packed in the Hummer? No, no. I mean at the Sandbar. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was going to say, I don't know how many people we want...

How many more people we want to be in there? We had what? Four? It was good. Honestly, you could probably put in quite a bit more. I think you could do 10. That's where I'd cap it. Yeah, for sure. 10 max. It's fun to think of our dream of wanting to pull up to the sandbar with a pirate ship. Pirate ship.

Yeah, we're another step closer. And that's still a dream. But the next best thing is a black Hummer with a Bontoon to do it. Dude, the pirate ship, when people ask, like, what's your guys' long game? Like, how long are you going to do this? Until we get a pirate ship, man. That's the goal. Then what? Well, we're going to sail around the world. Shit, yeah. Be pirates. What do you mean, then what?

How much more could you do? We bought a pirate ship. That's kind of endgame. That's what I mean. From there, you just become a pirate, you know? Yep. Get a parrot and cut your leg off. I know, well, they don't cut their leg off. Commodore ships. They get it bit off, but... I don't know. They get it bit off? Yeah, by like a shark. That's such a stereotypical thing for a peg leg. But anyway, eye patch, parrot. Would you be a peg leg? I feel like you'd fit pretty well for like the peg leg. Yeah, I'd do it. Wait, is there actually only... You know how like...

In the times of pirates, does only one guy, like the captain, actually get to dress like that? With the true Jack Sparrow hat? I feel like everybody else's is real grimy. Yep, just grimy. They're all dirty from cleaning the ship. The poop deck. If anyone out there has a pirate ship and they thought, hey, maybe it's time to part ways with this pirate ship.

We're in the market. We're in the market. There is a guy in Virginia, and he makes them. His gig is buying old pirate ships, not like real pirate ships, but old fun pirate ships and redoing them.

How much do they cost? Well, there was one that went around, and it was reasonably priced. It was not inexpensive. And shipping it across the country will also not be inexpensive. But, man, I tell you what, your guys' little bay over there, having a big old pirate ship. It's going to look nice. Morgue. It's not even anchor. Yeah. It's Morgue. The pinnacle of success. We'll name it Pirate's Bay. Yeah. That'd be sick. Or Butt Pirate's Cove. Oh, you're headed over to the Butt Pirate's in Pirate's Bay. Yeah.

He's like, no, no, no, no, not that. How about pirate? Yo, couldn't we just get Big Wrench to make one? Bro, we make him a ship builder. Big Wrench could do it. Hey, Big Wrench, we need a pirate ship done by the 4th of July. Hey, Big Wrench, you got 48 hours. That should be enough, right? Him and Ev.

like bending wood and stuff. I'll, I'll find that pirate ship and maybe he's got it on for sale. The issue isn't finding a pirate ship. The issue is buying a pirate ship and then being able to ship it here. Yeah. And we don't really live in like a pirate ship territory. When you think of Minnesota, it's not really that common. So it has to be shipped from a long distance. And that's, it's really hard to get a large wooden ship that,

Long distance on land. Like you couldn't even run it up the Great Lakes.

Well, you could. You could get it within four hours of us. Our next RV trip is us conning in a pirate ship from the Gulf of Mexico up the Mississippi to home. That sounds way more than like, we did an RV trip. It sounds more like, I spent 50 hours camping in Antarctica. I'm so excited about this right now. How close could we get with the Mississippi? Well, I mean, technically the headwaters is just over yonder. But could we actually?

actually go up the Mississippi. You could get to Minneapolis before there's like a dam. Pretty easy. Really? Yeah. You can get north of Minneapolis for sure, but I'm not sure how much more north. Well, then it's not that far of a trick. We got to do it. Eventually, when we go no videos for like five weeks, it's because we're traversing the Mississippi on a wooden ship. How long would it take? Shit, I don't know. Probably not a short amount of time, but it would be legendary. And we could just send Ken and Mike. Then

Then it wouldn't be legendary. With a GoPro on a stick. So that, I guess that excites me because that means we have to get a pirate ship that at least has some accommodations. You know, it doesn't have to have like rooms on it, obviously, but it can't just be an open thing with just wood. Like there's gotta be,

Yeah, like a sink. Guys, I cannot explain to you how excited I get every time we talk about a pirate ship. Yeah, I'm getting fired up too. I'm getting fired up. Dude, if I could just see us conning that bitch up the Mississippi. Absolutely no experience whatsoever navigating a shipping channel in a large boat that we have no business driving.

It's so good. It's perfect. It's so good. I love it. Everything is just amazing about that. I think we could do it. Dude, and then I just picture it when we're sailing in. It'd be like...

All of our friends and family there. It'd be like, oh my gosh. Lewis and Clark or Christopher Columbus hitting America. The news is there. Oh, for sure. They did it. They did it. They really did it. Local Cormorant boys really did it. And instead of being known for the jet ski jump, we're finally known for something noble. Aren't you guys the pirate ship guys? Dressed as pirates. Yeah.

We'd 100% have to dress up. They disassemble it and they put it into the museum that's going to be built in Cornrow one day. Around it. Like the freaking Yem Comp Center. Apparently, the Scandinavian, the rumor has it, I think it's real, that when the waters were high and this was some gigantic ancient lake that the

Vikings? Vikings. Would come around here and they would hook up to these different hills and mooring points. I don't really know. I don't believe all of it. But there's a big-ass ship in Moorhead that they sailed here. Huge. They built a whole building around it. So that'll be ours. We'll have that in Cormorant. Ken's shaking his head. That ship was actually built in Hawley, Minnesota in the 80s. I'm sorry to... Fuck! Tramp on your parade. Well, I mean, why did they build a whole...

building around it and make this whole thing. They like sailed the Norway back. They built it in this little potato shed and they sailed it all the way across the ocean. That's legendary. They deserve it. Build the building around them.

I can't wait to have a little tin shed around our boat. Can't stop thinking about it. Me either. We got to freaking end this podcast and go find a park. I know. The Mississippi, the only impediment that you have is St. Anthony Falls in downtown Minneapolis. You have to take it out, go around the falls, go back up, and then you can go all the way to the headwaters. Really? Yeah. Well, perfect. We're going to unload at Minneapolis anyways. And then it's only a couple hundred miles interstate. I can see the thumbnail already.

Pulling our pirate ship with our dually Ford Ranger. A hundred percent. Ken, how many nautical miles is it down the Mississippi and how many locks do we have to go through and to get to New Orleans? 2,340 and there's nothing in between Minneapolis and New Orleans. I know there's a bunch of locks and stuff, right?

That's going to take weeks. 2,000 miles at what? 10 miles an hour? Maybe two weeks. How fast do you think we're going to go in this thing? I don't know. I think we could throw at least a bigger motor on it. There's 29. 29 locks? That's definitely where the time holdup is. I didn't even know those existed until our buddy JetSki downed it. He's like JetSki's for an hour and then spends an hour in the lock.

which would be unfortunate but if it was a week we could definitely do it if it was two weeks we'll have an xbox and we could do you think we could do it within five days don't tempt me with that ryan yeah we're like when we're planning the thing we're like all right we're gonna edit all day thursday friday we're gonna fly to florida hop on the pirate ship and then drive it and we gotta be home by tuesday night so we can edit or by wednesday night so we can edit the video and get it live by thursday i'm like guys it is impossible to travel 3 000 miles

by water in five days. Evan says that and we're just like, bro, you're always so negative. You're always so negative, dude. We have to average 70 miles an hour on water. We're like, we'll do it. Put a 250 on the back. Yeah, we look at big wrench.

Three 400s? You can do it, right? He's like, no. Well... You guys are just asking me to mod a pirate ship. I don't do that. I promise. I pinky promise I'll come back to this podcast next week with updates of a pirate ship and our journey. Oh, man. Ryan. That was a tall order. Yeah, it was. But I'm spending all day in the car tomorrow with Ken driving around purchasing things from Facebook Marketplace. Yeah, good luck. Wait, you guys are...

Making moves? Yeah, the lady at the bank today, when I withdrawed a significant amount of cash for a bunch of different things, she was like, what are you doing? Say, don't worry about it. Mind your own business, woman. No. No.

But I didn't really know how to explain it without sounding ridiculous. I'm kidding. That was a joke. That was a joke. But I do love the ladies over at Midwest Bank. Walked in belts. Didn't feel right. Really? Yeah. It's kind of a bummer. They didn't even have the cookies. Well, I'm 0 for 1 on Facebook Marketplace purchases this week. Ken, if we drive all the way to the cities and someone's a no-show, I'm going to have a freaking...

I might have to walk back. I have a stroke. Ken, I'm very surprised that you would drive somewhere if they hadn't responded. And bring Evan. So the dude was a foreigner and he was responding pretty quickly. And I just assumed like, hey, I said, hey, can I meet you tonight? And he said, yeah. And I said, okay, can I meet you at this time? And I was like, okay, I'm just going to save time, leave now. I'll get the address while we're on the way.

It'll be good. I want to bring Evan with because this dude looks a little sketch. Oh, so you needed a bodyguard? Yeah. You thought Evan was going to be able to handle him? Well, he's got the hog. He's pretty big. What, he's going to hit him with his dick? Helicopter. Get away. Get away. It's like nunchucks. In case this foreigner wanted sexual favors, he needed to make sure he was satisfied.

But never showed. Waste of time. Hell yeah. I mean, none of you guys commented on my shirt because we never do, but it says... Well, well, well, well, we do. It says something about license to lift and it's a forklift, but I saw a guy wearing a Hardy shirt the other day and it said shaved and proud. And I went, I've worn a lot of aggressive shirts. And he's talking about his sack and... I don't know. I think it was about the Hardy shaved meats.

I'm trying to think of any scenario you'd wear that saying on any shirt. That's why I go, dude, you're preaching to the choir here, but what possessed you to put on that shirt this morning and go fill your car up with gas? Well, how about yesterday Mike wearing his referee jersey all day long?

Yeah. Until like five to figure out that. Like, I just looked at you. I went, good morning, Mike. Like, that was it. I didn't say anything either. Hey, Mike. Nice shirt. You know, we have plenty of costumes from over the years and I just like threw the ref jersey on because it was an XL and it was comfy. Oh, that was good.

oh, this is nice. And then I was like, I should probably take it off before I get roasted. Go downstairs. No one says anything. Go all day. No one says anything. Then I go, like, we go out in public and then other people are like, you just get done with the game and then I'm like,

Shit, the guys didn't roast me well enough to make me realize. To have an excuse. To think of taking it off. It was nothing out of the ordinary. Not at all. For us. Speaking of shirts, that's some nice merch over there. Yeah, new merch drop September 22nd. As far as I know, that is the week after this comes out. September. Did you say September? This Thursday. Bro.

This Thursday. June 22nd. It's on September 22nd. Yeah, so it's in two days from when this podcast goes live. Oh, man. What month is it? It's our 4th of July drop. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Fireworks. Some good shit. 4th of July drop. You guys already know a giveaway that you'll probably want to be entered in. Yep. Big giveaway. You don't know what month it is. That's fine. Dude, I don't know what day it is.

I don't even want to look at how fast summer is going. I know, bro. I don't even. This is like sad. Actually, it's one of those times when people talk about it and you get upset. And you say, shut up. Do you think life goes faster as you get older? Yes. 100%. I feel like it does too. Yeah, I think so. I heard an interesting theory on that. And it was that when you are, let's say 10 years old a day,

Is such like a large portion of your life. Maybe that's backwards when you're 10 years old It's like a day and it's a bigger portion of your life But when you get older a day is a smaller portion Well, it makes sense of when you're older one day is like a smaller percentage of the time you've lived So yeah, but when you're young obviously it's like oh, right right right, you know And I think it goes it goes down to like what you learn, you know for if you've been alive for

for five years and you learn x in a day you're learning a substantial amount for how long you've been alive you guys remember anything from being five yeah kindergarten really do i think my earliest memory is like crawling around with a balloon that's actually great like i definitely really that's your first core memory i mean i barely remember it but i just have like you were five crawling like a i don't know if i was five i just remember it was like i had a little bell and i was just like crawling and there's ballooners i think

No, that's not me. You were like baby, baby step. I have no idea. That's not me. I just for some reason have a little bit of a memory of that. Yeah. Having your first memories when you're three and four makes sense. But yeah, if you were five, I'd be like, you missed out on something. Or do you guys remember your first memory? Man, I have certain memories back from like being like two and three of like the moment, but not necessarily like what happened in it. But yeah, I remember like when I was two,

My dad would like put me on a little four-wheeler, like a Polaris four-wheeler and then a snow scoot. I like remember driving around the lake on it. Oh, that's pretty young. That's pretty young. Two? Yeah. Yeah. Wait, yeah, two is tiny. Yeah. Yeah. You could drive. I mean, I don't know about drive. I could go in circles. That's pretty good, actually. At least sit there and do something.

My first was when I was three, and it was like the flood of 97. Technically 98. You were three then? Were you sandbagging? No, but I remember going on the street just being stoked because the street was now a river. The street was fully filled with water, and I'm just like...

Who did this? This is pretty sick. And then just splashed down on the street. And I'm like, I can't believe. Is it going to be like this forever? And then they're like, no, it's flooded. I'm like, I don't know what that is. Mike's crawling up on the dike, gets arrested. No, dude. I just lived down the road from CJ. All of Fargo was flooded. I wasn't even close to the river. I wonder if there's anyone who has memory of it all. They remember first day out. First day out, yeah.

There's gotta be in this have some kind of some, there's gotta be. And, and I was thinking about that the other day, there's gotta be people out there that can remember every single detail. Like it's real time, like playing it out. Like,

This is exactly what I did when I woke up. And then this is exactly what I did that day. You'll have better memory of doing like a lot of the stuff we were doing right now. If you ever slow down, you know, you'll be able to almost like collect your thoughts more right now. It's just like, everything's going so fast. I feel like in general, we just get fed so much info. Like I've looked at Facebook marketplace today, a significant amount. Like I've looked at thousands of items, right?

When in the past or in other parts of life have you ever had that much information just thrown at you? Yeah, I just saw a video about that, too. Yeah, dude's like, I swear. I mean, I don't know. I'm not looking this up, but I probably consumed more alcohol

and things today than someone in like the 30s have consumed their entire life. Yeah, you get some radio and some TV, that's it. But then he also said something really funny. He's like, you know, like I'm watching a video of like just a podcast clip, but then below it, most of the rest of the video is just like some mobile game that's like supposed to be satisfying. He's like, when did we decide that that was going to be the way we were going to die?

I was wondering the same thing. How did we get that? Who decided that? It works though, dude. How many podcasts have you listened to with the little subway surfers guy? No, I disagree. I disagree that it works. As in like, I'd listen to it either way because I think about it and it pisses me off. But then someone posted and was like, how we're going to watch movies and

2050 and you go to the movie theater and they're playing the movie in like this little streaming area and the rest of it's just a mobile game replay or like GTA yeah did you guys see that they're coming out with a new GTA

Really? I guess. Yeah, I did. But to be honest, we're talking about six here. I never know if it's set in stone. GTA V came out when I was in the 11th grade. It was 2013. They've been working on it for 10 years. Essentially. But GTA V still makes

a stupid amount of money every single day. Yeah. They've been revamping as it goes, but still it's like the same general game. If you start up the career mode right now, I'm pretty sure you play the same. Yeah. I think it's all the online. There's expansion packs. I mean, it's like a whole universe, dude. Oh, there is more. I was always, I think the thing that wasn't selling me on GTA five was that the map didn't grow. The,

The heist and the characters did online. Lots of cool stories, but the map... Dude, the map's fucking huge. Dude, the new map... Look that up, Ken, how much bigger the new GTA map is. And my favorite part is it's a Florida. Southwest Florida. Makes sense. Yeah. Two times as big, but it looks even more. When's that come out? Estimated 2025. Wow. Oh, man.

So, GTA... Are we even going to be around then? Hopefully. GTA V makes $2.5 million every single day. Still? Made a billion dollars last year. Holy... And that's an old game, dude. That's crazy. People live their life, like, in that game. Like, they have jobs. Like, some people are, like...

fast food freaking people some people are like pimps I've seen that like some people are like the you like role plays that work for the pimp and like they have to like yeah it's like all just role play and I don't know why I mean it sounds kind of fun but also like

I just do something in real life. I don't know. I think you sent it, Ryan. It was like this dude out on his yacht and he had an F40, a Ferrari F40 sitting on it going to Morocco F1 or whatever. And then some tons of comments like this is how you know you're rich, this and that. And this guy comments,

I can't even afford this in GTA, which is saying something because usually if you play it long enough, you can buy a tank if you want. Yeah. I think with VR headsets, like those kind of games are going to become so realistic. Oh, dude, it's gonna be crazy. It's gonna be so cool. Honestly, it really will be. There's days I miss. I wish I had the time to play video games occasionally.

I feel like it'd be kind of fun. I agree. Like, lock in and be good. But the problem is, is now I'm so bad at them, it'd be way too frustrating. Like, I couldn't go play Fortnite. I'd get wrecked. Yeah. I'd get just demolished. You were getting wrecked back in the day. Yeah, when I tried to play. Ken, do you still play... Is it Plane Simulator or Farm Simulator? It's actually the Lawn Mowing Simulator. Oh, Lawn Mowing Simulator. No, I thought it was a plane. I haven't... I don't even remember the last time I turned my Xbox on. Ken bought an Xbox and we were like, what are you going to play with that...

Oh, I don't know. Only game he bought was, I thought it was, was it playing or lawnmower? I got the game pass. You pay like 15 bucks a month for you to never use it. It's the worst thing ever, but, but you could get unlimited games. Yeah. Nice. That's kind of cool.

Speaking of crazy money, though, did you guys see that Happy Dad has sold 6 million cases of Happy Dad? Yeah, that's wild. In two years. And then now you start doing the math on they sold it for $20 a case. What do you think it costs per case? Quick little bag. Six. Like, genuinely, what does it cost to produce? $6 million times 20. I think $120.

Million. Million. 120 million bucks on a happy dad. You know, the only thing I'm confused, why the fuck is it not in Minnesota yet? Like, two-turn Tony has his own hard tee, and it's in Minnesota already. Really? Yeah. He's sending us some, by the way. Is he really? Is he really? Yeah. Did you hit him up or what? No, I don't know. His team hit us up and was like, hey, love your page. You guys want some free booze or something like that? You know, it was probably pretty basic. Sick. I was like, yeah. Thank you. Free booze.

It is really interesting. I think there's a lot of politics when it comes to the alcohol business. I think it's super regulated. It just seems strange that North Dakota, Minnesota, none of the states around us, I don't know about Wisconsin. Do you think it's regulated by alcohol companies? Part of it's to do with the alcohol distributors in different regions and all the different laws and who plays politics with who. It's freaking crazy. It is cool though. That's a lot.

$120 million. That's a lot of dough. Dude, that's nuts. Good for them. Already, only after like two years, they're not even in every state. They're not in Canada. I think the thing about that, though, is you got to wonder how many people have like...

Are a part of that pot. Oh, quite a few. I'm sure a lot. It's like... Definitely. It's not an easy product to manufacture and it's not an easy product to distribute. You know, like so many people along the way are getting their fingers in there somewhere. Taking a bit out of it. Average net profit on alcohol is 10 to 15%. Really? So it's smaller than you'd think. It's not like a shirt, but... I'm sure there's things to look into and that we could benefit from it. But one thing that stokes me is that like...

We've never turned to investors. And, you know, one day we might have to. One day we might not have to. We have big ideas. But, like, investors with their hands in essentially your bucket, that's not fun. Scary business. Scary. It can mean good things, and it a lot of times makes things worse.

that would never be possible. Yeah, I think the thing about investors, if you're bringing that kind of money in, if you need it, you're probably doing something big. And if you have the right person who can add more than just money. If it's just money, they're not taking anything else away. Yeah, that's true. Well, I put up 10% for this. I want some decisions, and then they say no on one big idea, and then you're like,

I'm just glad we don't have to deal with it. Yeah. Just have to report to you boys. There was people back in the day that after our very first talk or whatever at

They asked us to do like a Ted talk and this one kid's dad, Wanda, like asked if we needed like money for investing and for like, obviously a percentage then. And we just said no. But yeah, I think a lot of people listening right now too. If, if you want to start something or like do your own thing, if you find the right bank,

Having a bank in your pocket can be your greatest asset. Yeah. When we were trying to...

move into this shop and buy this shop we're like shopping around from like a couple different banks and like this one bank wouldn't even give us uh a loan for like eighty thousand dollars to buy the rest of the shop can we had like all of it paid off and we provided them with some very solid information and backing yeah yeah it and it was like uh uh a

a fairly small amount of money that we needed to buy the rest of it against like a, you know, big asset like that. Wasn't asking for much and they wouldn't give it to us. So frustrating. And we like, uh, just went down the road, went to another bank and like, they laughed at that. Like they couldn't believe that like someone wouldn't. And we'd been with them ever since. And like, they've taken care of us on a Friday morning, call them personal level. Yeah. Need something by Friday afternoon. But like,

I think that's super important. And if, if you can't get something done or if a certain bank doesn't believe in like the vision or won't give you money for, you know, some idea that you have or, or business loan, like just go and find someone that will, cause they are out there. My, uh, my dad tells this cool story about when he was buying his first ever lake property, he was, he was young at the time and a lake property back then wasn't like sought after, right?

And so back then it wasn't like you put in a loan request at a bank online, you know, you drove around, you sat down, you shook hands, you put on a suit, like all that shit. And, uh, he said he drove from every bank from Fargo all the way down highway 10 around and asked everybody for money and they wouldn't give him same thing. He had more than like 50% down. They wouldn't give him this little amount of money he needed. And,

And, uh, I may be exaggerating on how I remember it, but how I remember it is he said he was so sad. He was like almost crying or was, and the only thing that would make him happy is in his childhood. He used to go through the Barnesville dairy queen and drove through the Barnesville dairy queen. And as he was sitting there eating a peanut buster buffet, he saw another bank and he walked in there and they gave him the money. And then from there on out, it's almost like the small town banks. If you get a personal relationship with that or with bankers like that, then, uh,

it'll help you a lot more than bigger places is what we found. So anyway, it's...

Kind of just some advice. A little business advice for you guys. Also, ain't nothing wrong with a little leverage here and there too. If you want to like put some money in and then loan the rest for a big idea or a big purchase that you're going to grow the business with, like ain't nothing wrong with that. No. Which I think people don't talk enough about enough, especially with like real estate too. If you want to buy a rental house or some kind of property that's going to be making you money,

Put 20% down, finance the rest, and then have a tenant pay for your mortgage. And have to kick them out for smoking pot. Might happen. Might happen, but like...

I think a lot of there's like this idea that a lot of people are afraid of debt and there is such thing as like good or bad debt. For sure. Some people cannot handle that. But if it's like a cash producing asset or in our case, if we were to buy something that's going to be making content, something like that. Nothing wrong with that. I just say you better make. Sorry. I just say you better make sure it's a good thing.

I, you know, it's a safe bet. You know, like if you're going to get a loan, like don't be getting a loan for something stupid. Well,

Well, I'm not telling you to go out and get like a crazy car loan at 12%, but like for people that have a business. Yeah. You know, for sure. I was like, cause it's easy to say it's gotta be a safe bet, but I was like calculated risk taking has got us to where we are today. Yeah. No, I'd say like, I mean going and getting a college loan and, or getting a loan for like a business idea startup is about the same. Yeah. It's,

Especially if you put the same time and effort that you put into school, if you do. Exactly. I just always think of that. You put a bunch of money into school, there's nothing wrong with that. If you break down the money per class that it costs... And the time.

You don't even usually if you're going to university, you don't even want to know. And some of those classes are online. And some of those classes you blow off because they're online now because of COVID. And you're looking at $50 a session. Oh, you just paid $50 to sleep through class or go to class and not learn anything or maybe still learn something. It's just crazy. Yeah, it is. And you went to three classes today. Holy shit. Yeah. But yeah, put that same into a business. I'm not saying to do that, but it could really benefit you if you have a...

a solid, stern idea that you're confident with. And say you got a pressure washing company and you're like, man, I really need some money for the business. And you could buy a new trailer so you could do bigger jobs. That's a good idea. Buying, using that money to put forces on your truck so you look cool, not a good idea. You know, there's smart uses for everything. But shit, maybe you're the guy with the pressure washing company driving around on forces and then everybody goes, that guy looks cool. I want to work for him.

Don't let me tell you what to do. Tell yourself what to do. Yeah. That's good. I always get a kick out of that. The guys, you know, they're starting the whatever, carpentry, whatever, any business, and they're like tricking their trucks out. I don't hate it. I'm all for it, whatever. But like they're tricking. Oh, the whole fleet's got to be tricked out too. My like...

I have my truck, which is going to be the coolest. And then I have Donnie's, my right-hand man. They're going to have F-250s and they're obviously lifted. They won't have forces on them, but they got to be nice. Ain't no work. We're not doing vinyl floors here.

Which is like, you could just definitely just do work trucks. Yeah. I did like, I heard our buddy Luke Payne, he has an excavating company and he has all black machines. He gets them painted. He hangs American flags from them and they're always clean and stuff. And someone asked him like, why do you spend all that money? And he goes, well, I'm proud of my work and I want my machines to show it and stuff like that. So there's a, there's sides to the coins. Yeah. I think there is something to be said about a guy pulling up to your house to give you a quote on, uh,

you know, some landscaping thing and he's driving a nice truck. You can tell that he's got attention to detail and his truck is clean and maybe it's not overkill, but it looks presentable. That's a good, actually a good point. Even if you can't afford the nice truck yet, make your truck clean when they pull up, even if it is the 90 Chevy. But if that 90 Chevy looks like it's gotten a car wash this century, century,

Yeah. You know. Yes. No attention to detail. And yeah, don't throw your Mountain Dew bottles and your taquito wrappers in your passenger floors. Yeah. Or in the back of your truck bed. I know a lot of people do that. Like,

Evan does it. We got a lot of empty twisted teas in the back of the SEMA truck. Really? Yeah. From what? I mean, what do you mean from what? Yeah, I was going to say. How'd they end up there? Who knows? In the habit of cleaning that out once a week even would do people wonders. Yeah, for sure. Well, Ken's signaling to us that the cameras are too hot. We podcasted too hard today, boys.
