Okay. Well, it looks like Ryan, or sorry, it looks like myself and CJ are channeling our inner Ryan today. Yeah, you guys got funny shirts on. I don't. Yeah. What's so funny about my shirt? Well, it says frick vape. So I'm proud of you for taking a stand. I just have a feeling people might come up to you and be like, ha ha, that's funny. And then you're just going to stone cold them. I like that. No, it's not funny. I'm taking a stand against vapes. I want kids to put down the vapes and get back on cigarettes. Ha ha.

Crick vape. Yep. But where did you actually get the Steve Wars shirt? Like, Instagram ad got me. But I don't know if many of you know, but we have an inside joke of Steve, and then I saw it. Steve Wars, where everyone in the galaxy is named Steve. Yeah. Mike's license plate's Steve. We call him Steve. Yeah. Mike calls everyone else Steve. All right, I'm feeling left out. Such an inside joke. Mike, we haven't called you Steve in actually probably...

A while. I think once you put your license plate as Steve, I was like, I don't really want to call him that anymore. Well, that was my question. Do you regret getting your license plate Steve being that it was kind of like a one month inside joke and then we kind of just left it there? No, because for me, Steve is still like a lifestyle. Okay, that's good.

That's good. You kind of have committed to it. Mike's got all the funny license plates. Yeah. He's got Steve, Good Kid. And the funniest one of all, Sandman. I think Good Kid's my favorite because it's on the Subie, which is like a total degenerate looking car. So like I'd imagine you get pulled over for something petty like window tint or no front license plate and they have to write...

Good kid. Exactly. On the ticket. I didn't even think of that. That's hilarious to me. I didn't even think of that. I pulled him out. He's a good kid, but I had to get him for window tint. You know? All right. What's Ryan say? Oh, shit. I took both pills, and now I'm stuck in the Life Wide Open podcast. Cost them. Cost them. That's the one that was $53.

No, those are still coming. Oh, I love it. That's beautiful. What's that mean? Ryan, now you're going custom with it? It's from the Matrix since you're too young. Oh, okay. Yeah. You take a red pill or a blue pill and then you do a thing. But Ryan took both. I took both and now I'm stuck inside of this podcast. You can't see the bottom part of it. Oh, shit. I know. That's why I haven't worn it that much, but...

I love it. The spacing on the text is just a little extra there. Pretty janky. Oh, shit. You guys just keep on. Oh, come on. There ain't no way. Does Ben really have a shirt? All right. Well, we're all wearing silly shirts. Oh, sorry. A couple of silly shirts and one very, very important public announcement over here. Yeah, more of a political agenda. I don't know if it'd be political. That'd be so funny. You wear that and we're like, geez, we try not to get political on this podcast here, but...

It's the best I could do. There you go. I love it. Yeah, I have to laugh because it's like, oh, you just grabbed some of our merch. Dude, I thought I had one in my office. No, I think it's fitting. Grandpa Ron. Stone cold Grandpa Ron. And also, we might have accidentally ordered like a thousand extra of these shirts, so we got to sell these.

Yeah, there was a little miscommunication, so hop on the website and get some Grappler on merch. We're sitting on a shitload of Grappler on merch. We haven't sold many to begin with. I was talking to him. He's wondering where we're going to go. He's thinking Vegas and a private jet. All these fun things. I'm like, dude, we might go get some pizza at Zorba's. That's about it. That's about how much money we've made off these shirts. If this plug does well, we might make it up to Manoman. Yeah, we might be able to go to a reservation casino. Can you imagine that? Best we can do is a nine-hole in Kansas. Yeah.

Sorry, man. In the last vid, when we went and took him to Topgolf, when we showed up at his house and walked in and go, Gramp, but you want to go golfing? I'm sure he was like, here it is. We're going straight to the private jet, and we're going to Vegas, or we're going to Mykonos, or whatever. Pack your bag, and we just go, Topgolf.

He's down the road. And that's why he was like, oh. Was it just me or was he kind of in a weird mood that day? Like when we first showed up to pick him up, he was kind of like,

Maybe he was skeptical. He's like, what are they doing to me now? I'm sure he was. He's got to be wondering. He's starting to catch on to the game. He's like, okay. Plus, he had like 13 cookies. That's true. He did. He put down like 13 cookies. Grandma made cookies because we told her we were coming. Did he? What? Nothing wrong with the bakers, does it? Well, Grandma made us cookies, and I'm sure she was like, these are for the boys. You can't eat them. And then as soon as we were in the door, he was like, free game, right?

He ate like legit 13 of them while we were standing there. I love your grandpa so much, dude. God, he's funny. He's a G. A legend already and also a legend in the making. Irreplaceable. One of a kind. He is. Well, boys, I bought a house. Congratulations. I figured it was time to grow up. I'm proud of you. Thank you. I mean, it's still a work in progress. I haven't moved in yet. End of the month. But...

Yeah, I mean, it is like you guys are all, well, you guys are homeowners, so you know, I guess, like the process of it. And it's pretty stressful. I'm going to be honest. Yeah, it is kind of a lot. One of the reasons I guess I've like pushed it off for so long is because I don't want to, I guess, focus or have to worry about like anything else other than just like making good videos and like just showing up to work. That's why I haven't bought a house yet. Right. There you go. Yeah.

So, yeah, I mean, when we were looking at them, we went and looked at a couple last week, and CJ came with, and there was, like, this one that was going to be, like... The first one. Total gut and remodel. I wasn't sure if you were going to do it, so I was trying to, like, tiptoe around it. I was like...

You know, like, even though you're not going to be the one swinging the hammer, still going to take up a lot of mental space. Trying to just find people to, like, work on it, all that, you know. Like, I was, like, putting little things in there because it was, I mean, that place was, you'd bulldoze it down. My plan was I was going to just ghost ride the limo into it just to even up.

On the first day. Because I figured you'd have to tear it down. Anyway. But anyways. I plan on moving in, living in it for five years, and then doing some renovations. CJ's like, no. Ghost ride to the limo. Day one. Limbo through it. Now you don't have a choice. I've been trying to figure out something to do with that thing. I was like, this will be a great wrecking ball. That's the prank. We do a house prank on Ben. I just drive a fucking limo through his house. Yeah, I'm not sure if that'd be quite getting even. But...

But it'd be tough to level up. On the DL one. It'd be tough to beat it. On that first one, I feel like I'd be doing you a favor. Yeah, as long as I get insurance on it before. Sure. You'd have had to taken it down anyways. So then you looked at another place and it was better. Well, dude, going from the first place to the second place, it was like going from like a homeless camp to like the Taj Mahal, like a five-star. But it was cheaper too. So the first one was, if you can like live on the water around here, on the lake, it's obviously...

cost a lot more but then there's a lot of like older houses that either need to be torn down or completely remodeled because they were built back in you know the 60s or the 50s or whatever and that was what that first one was so then we went to this next place for you that was uh still on the water i guess but it was like a different spot cheaper way cheaper nicer um

still kind of like what i wanted and like the area that i wanted and uh yeah they accepted my offer nice dude i love the way that we move like you we walked in there looked around i was like i'd say do it and you're just like yeah i'll do it like like we weren't even planning on really buying a house that day and you ended up buying a house now that you guys have started buying houses and you know it always comes up when someone in the group makes a big purchase you know

And CJ gets a boat, you get a Lambo. Now you got a house too. And everyone goes, you know, so when are you going to get your house or, or, or you're really nice. Oh no, I'm far too financially irresponsible. And it's only myself to blame for it too. I go, damn, I don't got money for that. Where'd I, where'd it go?

and then I look at all my restaurant bills probably from eating out. But I love that you're just honest with them. It kind of tells them that they're just like, oh, okay. Yeah, where the fuck? You spend all your money trying to fix up your Hummer? Yeah. Your Volkswagen? Which I sold, by the way, from another sucker. Unbelievable, man. You did. I felt so bad watching them drive away in that thing. I did squeaky and everything, too. Oh, dude. I tried to avoid them. I didn't want to be a part of this thing.

wholesale. I was like, I wasn't even there. I felt bad for the people. I felt like I was an accomplice. I don't even know the guy. When Ryan goes to start it to sell it to him, it squeaked a little bit before and then it just like was yelling at you. It was 15 minutes before they got here. Ryan started it up and it was just squeaking.

The loudest thing. And he runs out with a thing of deodorant. He starts putting it on the belt. Is that what you did? It quiets it down. Yeah, it works. I was so surprised. Yeah. But that belt's really hot, so I think it's out of alignment. It needs to be actually fixed. But yeah, dude, they came back. They were gone for a long time. I thought it broke down. I thought they stole it. I was like looking...

I was like, this guy got his car stolen. That's what I was thinking. I was like, and then someone's going to come out the bushes, grab their car that they left here and get away. And it's just gone. God, no. That would have been hilarious. Why didn't we think of that? Can you imagine? Oh, my God. I should have hopped in their vehicle and moved it. Like, yo, did they come back? Dude, that would have been so good.

But yeah, they were gone for too long. And I was like, fuck, it broke down. And then they came back and it was squeaking so loud. I was like, there ain't no way they're going to buy this thing. And they go, everything's great. We love it. We'll take it. Were they deaf? Maybe. They handed me the full thing of money. Didn't even try to dig me down. How much did you sell that thing for? 3,500 bones. Wow. About two years ago for 3,500 bones. No offense. I thought that thing was going to sell for like 1,000. Dude, actually, I sold it cheap. It's a collectible. All right. It could have been.

Is the money fake? Did you look at it yet? You know, no, Ken. I didn't. I didn't check to make sure the money's real. I should probably get that in the bank. Ryan's feeling like he got them and they're driving away. Fucking idiot didn't even look at the cash. When they were signing, like you guys were doing the bill of sale in the kitchen, I was trying to get to the sauna and I was already walking around in my...

my shorts and I was obviously going to strip down my underwear to go into the sauna but they were kind of in the way and Ben was like if you get naked and walk through there I'll give you a hundred bucks right now and I was on the edge I almost walked through I could have probably ruined the sale I was like this guy has got one chance at this I'm not going to ruin it I don't know CJ a couple buying that Volkswagen the little convertible they might have hopped in the sauna with you maybe

Well, congrats on that, on selling that little guy. Congrats on the house. Thanks. I heard your... I'm not giving you guys the... Stay out of my fucking house. I know where your house or where your brain is at. You're already trying to think of what can I do on the day he moves in. Have you been there recently? I...

When you've mixed up brain and house, you go with CJ. I know where your house is. I'm like, no shit you know where our house is. I hope you do. Otherwise, you're getting stupider by the minute. No, I'm excited to move in, but I dread what is coming.

Best of luck to you guys. It sucks because you know something's coming. Yeah, we have lots of ideas. I was low-key hoping you'd get the first one just because I really thought it was a teardown. And I was like, send the limo and do it. It'd be great. As long as you didn't push for it more. I was still trying to be a good friend and cousin. I was not trying to get you in a piece of shit. I was like, Jesus, dude, don't buy this. Hey,

After the Hummer experience, we can't do that anymore. I kept my mouth shut. Yeah. Now I felt bad the whole time. I was like, God damn. Wait. She said something. Did you guys not like the Hummer when I bought it? Well, I was a little bit skeptical, but you were so pumped on it. I said, well, he likes it. Thanks, dude. Thanks for not crushing my dream. Worked out in the long run, didn't it? Yep.

Again, you want to pull up this video I have. You guys remember, I don't know, it was probably this fall. There was that guy in NASCAR. His name's Ross Chastain. He was the guy who drove really fast along the wall and then beat everybody and made the playoffs in NASCAR and stuff like that. Anyway, got really popular for doing that. And then now I've been seeing a bunch of stuff about how he's kind of a hothead. And he goes off and does this last week. He's the guy with the beard.

Oh, my. Dude, you don't get bare knuckle fighting in sports like you used to. No. That's a good punch, dude. Right? He got him. He was not expecting that. Yeah. That's what he gets for grabbing him, dude. Yeah. Yeah, dude. I got to start watching NASCAR more. I wonder if Haley ever gets in fights like this. She should. Gets out there, starts beating everybody up. But this is what I'm saying. I don't think anybody should get in fights like this. Yeah.

Stop the violence. Stop the violence. I'm at a NASCAR. No punching.

I've been watching NASCAR for a long time. I know maybe NASCAR has been pretty boring for the last 20 years. Coming back. But it used to be sick. You used to have Dale Earnhardt out there purposely crashing people. Like, being legit, it was a cool sport. And I think this guy has the potential to bring NASCAR back and make it cool again. I agree. He's going out there fighting people on pit lane. That's awesome. People want to see. Yeah, I don't want to go and see a bunch of, like,

prissy, you know, million-dollar drivers and all that acting good for sponsors. I want to see a dude walking up punching a guy. Dude, I think most NASCAR drivers get pretty hot. Have you guys ever seen Kyle Busch, like, when he takes second place in a NASCAR race? So, like, I'm pretty sure Kyle Busch is just, like, a meme in NASCAR. I've honestly never watched a single NASCAR race in my life, so don't quote me on this, but from what I have seen is most people –

I think don't like them. Being that I actually own a shirt. Oh, that's the shirt I should have pulled out. I have a shirt that says, fuck Kyle Busch. And we saw him at the Freedom Factory. No, that was his brother. Oh, really? Yeah, that was his brother. I don't know. We were kind of talking shit.

Weren't we? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we were. About his brother too? No, he was right there. He was rolling around with those Monster Energy girls. I don't want to out the guy, but yeah. Well, then again, I think that's like what... They were probably paid to be with him. Yeah, that's like what Monster athletes... Some pretty hot Monster Energy girls just chilling with him, like two of them. I wonder if Celsius can hook us up with some of those.

I'm not rolling around with other girls. Me either, but I do have a buddy, Ken, who is single and would love two pieces of arm candy walking around with them. I would love that too. I think that is the best thing ever. Dude, you know, Ken, 15 minutes of them being here, you'd have them folding shirts in the back. Why not?

can put some to work they were like we were thinking we were going to go out on the boat nope nope we got t-shirts to fold 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

Just stand there in bikinis and work? Dude, I was in the back folding shirts with Ken and his minions. Really? Really. For a little bit. For how long? Really?

Just a little bit. A couple shirts. I would digress. You think less than a couple shirts? Less than a couple? What, half a shirt? He did half a shirt. No, no, no. He signed some sheets of paper and walked away. Well, anyway, it doesn't matter what I did back there. But what I did catch is that Ken has all of his minions, the workers, the folders in the back, the shippers, calling him daddy. Really? Are you fucking serious? Deadass.

I thought you were joking, but the look on his face right now, they call you daddy? This is so ridiculous, but no. No, they do. I heard it. That'd be so awkward. Cripes, Ken. It was awkward. All right, I'm on it. They're young boys, too. Can I get some more, daddy? Ugh.

Ooh, daddy, how's my fold look? Oh, they say it like that, all sexual. I thought they just called him daddy. I think it depends what kind of mood they're in. What kind of mood Ken's in. I'm not sure if this is okay for sexual conduct in the workplace, Ken. Seems kind of crossing the line. Ken, is that why you want a 1099 on them? You don't want them as employees? Yeah, if they're legally employed by us, then they can't call me daddy anymore.

No, let's keep them as contractors. Probably the fakest news I've heard all month. Oh, yeah. So, Ben, I was doing some thinking this week. Okay. You don't like modified cars. I wouldn't say that being that every single car I've ever owned I've modified. You modified your first Raptor, immediately sold it.

Well, because I sold it and then bought a Corvette that I modified. And then immediately sold? No. I had it for like six months. Yep. And after three months, you modified it. And then three months later, gone. And you also took the exhaust off immediately. It's so loud.

So then you bought that Subaru. You tried to modify it. What do you mean? You bought exhaust for it, took it off stock. And then you, you did actually, you hate exhaust bro. And then you just took the exhaust off your truck. It was so loud. It was, it was disgusting. Your Lamborghini doesn't even have an exhaust. Start to think you're kind of a pussy. All right, hold up now. Hold up. Loud exhaust. Hold up.

Well, this did go from you not liking to modify, which I 100% disagree with that statement. Ken, he doesn't like exhaust, so we know that for a fact. You're done getting free exhaust from these companies. Whenever someone gives you free exhaust, I'm going to call in person and say, hey, don't send it to this dude. He'll fucking put it on. It's going to sound amazing. I'm done getting straight pipe exhaust. I'm done getting straight pipe exhaust because there's...

Every single time I do it, it is so loud. No shit. It's a straight pipe. Yeah, that's what I figured out. It took three times to figure that out. I'm surprised you don't start putting on bigger mufflers just because you want it even quieter. I might. Maybe you need to get a Prius or something. Maybe you should just get a Tesla.

Yeah, you could join the electric army with Ken. Honestly, the jelly bean gang. If anyone else sat down on here and gave me shit about modifying, I would take it, Ken. But I just don't know how much ground you have to stand on here. At least Ken doesn't go back on his modifications. Because he doesn't do any. I've done very light and tasteful mods that I've kept for more than 90 days. Window tint?

Wheels, suspension. One time you put a new tire on, you got a flat? Yeah, no, I do. I can agree with the exhaust side of things. You done getting exhaust, man. I actually might have to be. Cut off. I think it's a shame that your Lamborghini doesn't have one. It sounds amazing without it. Could sound even better. But I suppose you'd take it off anyway, so why would we even bother? He's going to sell the car in 90 days if he does that. Ken! Ken!

You're asking benefits from me buying and selling and modifying these cars. I'm just saying that you sell the car within 90 days of modifying it. You know how much money I'm making you by spending mine? Yeah. I'm grateful for it. Yeah, you're so fucking grateful for it, Ken. You're sitting down here trying to give me shit about it, and now you're telling me you're grateful for it? I'm just calling you out on it. I thought because I was looking at Brian watching him do that, and I was like, God.

He's done this to every vehicle. The last three. The last three I have. I'm just curious if you are even aware of it. After this one, I was. You're like, wow, I had some self-reflection. I seem to do this every time. Yeah, the last one. The last one, actually, I did have to look in the mirror and say, I think I'm done. Yeah, honestly, when he was putting it back on, like, I wasn't even surprised. It was just normal. I was like, yeah, yeah, it makes sense. Stock exhaust back on.

It has been a week. Yeah. I mean, you guys can testify. You rode with me. It sucked. Yes. Three liter Raptor engines with exhaust. Sound like ass. Sound pretty bad with exhaust. Well, the issue that we later found out is after we put the exhaust on and then I jumped it 70 feet. It rattled pretty bad. No, the exhaust came off in the back. So it was straight pipe right underneath my cab. Oh, wow.

like it wasn't even going to the tips yeah it was like straight pipe underneath and i guess didn't figure that out until it was like coming off one of those cripes situations yep anyway so you guys will see it hopefully on thursday but we're in the midst of 450 swapping a shifter card something we've been wanting to do for a very long time and uh now a lot of these things are possible because we have a

basically like a professional fabricator in the shop which i i mean i think we we could have like swapped the motor and stuff but it's the fabrication part where it becomes very difficult and also it's nice because with him here we can do stuff so much faster he knows what he's doing and i don't know i just i'm really we're gonna be able to do a lot of cool stuff

moving forward, but I'm excited to see how this 450 cart will rip. It's going to be a drifting machine. Yeah, it's not going to stall out when we get to the low RPMs. It's just going to keep going. I mean, they were already rippers, but like... You're going to have that just snout or snort, whatever you want to call it. Just fucking... You're going to have a snorty snout on this thing. Yeah, snorty snout. It's just going to be romping along and... I love all these new terms. It's going to be romping and womping, snorting snout. And like shifting and...

Yeah, it's going to be sick. It's going to be very sick. So, yeah, that is cool. Having Brian, things are moving pretty fast because he's able to. A lot of times we can figure it out and say, oh, we need this fabricated. But Brian just looks at it and goes like, yep, this is what we do. And then does it. And it's a beautiful thing. Like they just look at it and do it. Did you just take a Snapchat at me? No, not you.

I took one of him, not you. We got a Snapchat guy over here now. I'm a snapper. Snapping away. Yeah. If you guys haven't followed me on Snapchat, CJ Lotzer, I just am taking shit all day long. People are loving it. Your snap yesterday was actually really entertaining. Which is what people keep telling me. That's why I'm staying to it. Because I guess if it normally isn't, that's the way you made it sound. What part did you... What part...

Well, you know, I just have this knack for building stories out and putting them in video form to share with the world. Well, I didn't mean to give you that much of a compliment on it. I just said it was entertaining. That's what you meant, though. Was it on this very podcast that you said Snapchat was pointless?

Yeah, until now they monetized it. So now it's not pointless. DJ's all about the Skrilla. Well, and it's more fun, dude. It's just fun building it out. The way that they structured it now is like you can build it like an Instagram. Whereas before it was like you just had your...

whoever you kind of ran into and personally met in the world and exchanged with. Yeah, now it grows. Now it's like posting as if you're posting on Instagram or whatever. And I don't know. I think it's fun. You can hit that Discover page. There's a reason why...

Danny Duncan and David Dobrik are posting like a thousand snaps a day. Like that Katie Sigmund chick, she's making like 500K a month off Snapchat. Fuck. That's insane. What? I'm not even doing close to that. But it's just fun. And I think people find it really entertaining because you get to see in real time things that are going on in our day that you normally wouldn't see. And it's just like...

It's easy to post there. It's just easy. And people don't really care. Like it could be a stupid little thing and you just like don't think about it. I think the really, the thing I really like about it is that it makes it easy to respond to our viewers without like having to like accept the message. And now you have this. Exactly. You just go to your story replies and you're like, boom, thanks. Boom. Nice. What up? And then like, that's kind of it. And people love it. Yeah. It's really easy to interact with the, with just whoever's watching your stuff, which I like as well.

I didn't know you could make that much out of having a nice behind. You need to start monetizing yours. Oh, bro, you can make a lot more than that. Did you point at him and say monetizing his behind? Yeah, Mike's got it. Or Crenn. Crenn? I'm sorry. I might have to call you that for like a week or at least, Ken. Hold up. I'm sorry, but you think these two have nice behinds? No. Crenn. The last thing I would describe these, I mean, literally the last thing I would say, and he has a nice behind.

That's not what I meant. You sound like Evan, dude. The dude is so obsessed with the hinders, but I'm not sure what his hinder type is. He could be like a curation. It's flat.

Nice and fat. He likes all walks of life. Dude, I think you can make a lot more than 500 racks having a nice behind. That's what she's making on Snap, dude. Snap chat. Just posting little stupid things. I would go as far to say as I think there's a lot of people in this world that exist with nice behinds that absolutely would struggle to make $500,000. It's a grind, dude. You got to respect these Instagram models or...

OnlyFans or Snapchat, Influence, whatever you want to call them, yeah, they're hot, and that's why people are watching, but they still hustle it, and they work it, and that right there takes, you know, just takes some thought and hard work to make happen. Yeah, I think it's one of those situations. I respect the hustle, but I don't respect the... The hinder? Yeah.

I respect the hustle, but I don't respect the content. Yep. I mean, in some cases... Oh, and it's not even like the chicks, but it's like the dudes. I mean, David Dobrik taking snaps of food in every single angle of it, and then every single chick, like in...

I don't like David's. This is getting nitty gritty too, but you were like, like Danny Duncan and David Dobrik. Dude, David Dobrik actually posts a million, and I would agree most of them are pointless. There's a reason why. It seems like Danny only posts 20 realistically. I think Danny posts a lot more. It's like every time I go through a story, I'm clicking maybe 20 times. You tap it, and that's the thing is they put an ad every four or five, so it's like even if it's...

You're kind of hustling it in a way like people just like clearing out their thing and then they, they skip through it and then they're getting paid. Interesting. I've made a, around $150 off of my hard work. Damn dude. I definitely thought the number was going to be way higher. What are you going to do with that? Let me actually check that one second. You post like so much to only be at 150 bucks. Well, keep it. Nevermind. It's actually $15, $15. I missed the decibel. Are you are, I,

I thought CJ was smart. I thought he chased that dollar, but I guess not. No, I'm just kidding. I made more. I didn't say it. I guess it's funnier. The fact that he forgot to mention is Katie Sigmund is also pulling 70 million views on her Snapchat story. Yeah, it's pretty fucked. That's a huge number. It's just amazing. Like,

how much all this social media stuff has just came around. And like, I mean, just the career you can make out of fucking, you could be a Snapchatter now. It just doesn't make sense to, I mean, it makes sense, but it's just cool to see. Cause I mean, as someone who's been in the game a long time, like you guys, it wasn't always like this. Yeah. So, I mean, the opportunities are just becoming even, even more, uh,

Yeah. I mean, it's not necessarily just YouTube. It really does all intermingle, but man, I used to be a Snapchatter back in the day. And, uh, my buddy CJ used to tell me how pointless it was, but that was about two months ago. I, I used to know, no, six months ago, a couple of years ago, early, early in snap. Well, I thought I used to pull, uh,

ton of views. Like hundreds of thousands, right? Yeah. You quit. And that's why I got the most subscribers out of everyone, even though everyone's out. Still? Yeah, dude. Nice. CJ hates that. I'm creeping up on you. CJ hates that. That's why he's posted. He's trying to pass me subscribers when I haven't posted on Snapchat in two years. Honestly, Snapchat was fucking pointless before.

Like, it only made sense if you're going to post something, post it on your Instagram story because then you can build your Instagram. Do you guys think that all these kids that want to be Snapchatters and YouTubers... I started writing that at school. What do you want to be when you grow up? A Snapchatter. I heard it was easier than being a YouTuber. Don't have to do the post-production. Yeah.

Well, one day, like, nobody's going to want to be, like, nurses and doctors. No. I don't think that's going to be a possibility. There's always going to be people who want to do that stuff. I do wonder when the threshold, like, where that threshold is, though. Like, how much of the, I guess, young population does it get until it needs, like, re-offset?

back to normal jobs because there's got to be more than ever well you can't just decide you're gonna do it you have to be good at it that's the that's the you know true that's true but there's more people trying than ever yeah but they still got to have a normal job while they're trying and some i mean fucking 99 of them don't make it so or i don't know exactly what percentage but you know and then they stay with their thing

That's true. You got to do what you're good at. We were just talking about that last night with actually Ryan's dad. We were out to eat and he came and joined us. We were talking about how much stuff we need to do around our house that we own together, me, Ken, and Mike. Why I don't do it myself is because it would just take longer, turn out shittier, and it takes away from me doing the one thing that I'm actually good at and actually makes money.

And, uh, and that's make videos and do stuff like this. And it's the same for him. Like it doesn't make sense for him to make YouTube videos. That's true. Yeah. There's, it's been like an interesting kind of mental battle for me. Cause I, I really enjoy being able to like outsource stuff like snow removal and, uh, mowing the lawn and stuff like that. But it also like,

definitely takes away, I don't know, something when you don't like mow your own lawn. I don't want to mow my own lawn every time, but when I do mow the lawn, I'm like,

It just brings you back to like, it's so easy. It's nice to do it when you're, when you have the time and you want to, it's kind of almost like a washing your car. Like you got the time to wash your car in the, in the driveway. It's nice. But some days you're just way too busy and you got to drive. And then it doesn't get done if you don't. And then it's like, you finally get the chance. It's a nice day. And you have a little bit of time off. You're like, I want to go do something fun. You're like, I got to go mow the lawn. Then you got to, it turns out the lawnmower needs gas and you got to go get gas. And then it's like,

You know, and it ends up being a two hour thing. And you're like, oh shit, I didn't really want to do this right now. But I oftentimes think that too. I'm like, why the fuck do we pay someone a hundred bucks to mow the lawn when we could, I could do that. It goes both ways. It's so stupid. But yeah, it's like, when do we get a chance? Yeah. Well, I tell you what, boys can move into an HOA like me.

And they mow your lawn? Well, Mike, you were saying that you were thinking about moving in with Ben? Yeah. So he can not stay at my house, too. Yeah. That should be a pretty good deal for you. Well, I actually live at Ben's, but I don't stay there much. Yeah, he lives... He was planning on moving in, but not paying. Yeah, so I own with the guys, but I actually live at Ben's, but I stay at the shop. It's a nicer place, yeah.

move my stuff there i'm excited for you ben that's cool but it sounds like your parents are kind of bummed oh yeah my dad sent me a video crying the other day really yeah i hate to out him like that yeah crying yeah i'm sorry dad wow it's just bummed it's because ben ben stayed around for so long but now there's like a kind of a bond that's newer and continued yeah you guys are like buddies yeah yeah exactly awesome yeah but i told him i was like dude i'm

I'm moving down the street. Let's relax here. I was like, I see you once a week anyways. There is nothing like the bond of a father and his mid-20-year-old son living in his basement, you know? Yeah, most dads would be like, packing your bags for you. I guess that's kind of what I mean. Like, had you moved out when you were 19, he would have been like, right on, he's moving out. Still sad. But now there's like the bond where he's just like, wait, I don't...

You can't move out. It is. Yeah. I mean, I guess I didn't really have like the college move out or kind of that whole experience. So it is kind of like the first time. But yeah. What are you doing? I think, well, he wants to move in. Yeah. He's like, I can be your lawn boy. I'm like, I'm an HOA. Somebody takes care of that. Are you going to be the HOA president? Dude, I talked to the HOA president yesterday. Say no shenanigans. Whoa, dude. I was actually pretty concerned because she asked for my email.

And, you know, it ends in C-Boys. Why don't you just give... I have a separate email I give people. That way they don't, like, in case they don't know me or at least know what I look like or have heard my name, but then they say C-Boys, they see it and they go, oh, fuck, I've heard about these guys. So I do Gmail. I'd imagine that word has already spread. Yeah. Are people worried? Yeah. They were worried about us. Yeah. When we were moving in, like, they legit thought the neighborhood was going to shit. People were, like, very concerned. Oh.

Oh, dude, that's so funny. So many people on our street were like, these guys are going to bring cops around and we don't need that. Yeah, they were worried about that. Like, no, we're not. That was one of the concerns. They were also thinking we were going to be like ripping dirt bikes and blowing shit up and filming and all that. And then like a year or two later, get to talking with one. And they were like, you know, we were pretty worried about you guys moving in and.

So was a lot of the other people around, but you guys, you guys are pretty good. As they said, we're like, thanks. Like we basically just acted normal and then they were like, Oh, you know, not really like what we expected you guys to be like, which I mean the first day started off pretty as what they probably were expecting when the farm animals came in and they had a horse trailer in the house. And then, I mean a TV got thrown out the window and,

Yeah. But anyways, I mean, the first day was maybe a little obnoxious and there's been a couple of obnoxious nights, but otherwise we've been great. Yeah. You guys have been good. I think the thing about it though is like, we're never, I'm never home. You guys are never home. Like we're always here. That's what they said. They're like, we don't even know when the fuck you guys are ever here. Like when do you come home and when do you leave? Do you ever even come here? And I was like, yeah, yeah, we come here and just like, you know, late and then leave early. Yeah. But I was thinking like your pad would be kind of the party pad. Like it'd be like project X.

you know, mixed with a little bit of Seaboy spice in it. And, uh, and that's every weekend. Like Evan was going to invite his hometown buddies. They'd probably stay out for like a week or two. They were going to do a motor swap in the driveway. That too. Yeah. They've got a bunch of old Chevys actually that need some fixing up. So they were, I told him he's got a great driveway, no oil stains or nothing right now. You can drop, like drop the,

No oil stains. They said we got to do something about that. Yeah, you can just have them put the pallet of tea wherever you want on the driveway. Just throw the empties in the grass. Man, talk about if you actually wanted to do that.

Just bringing down the value of all the homes in the neighborhood. And then everyone just moves in. Talk about just like a neighborhood takeover. Mr. Beast just did that. We've kind of done that with this area. Yeah, we're trying to. But Mr. Beast bought an entire neighborhood out. What? Yeah. Why? For his production, yeah. No, for his friends and his crew to live in. Really? Yeah. And he rents to them or-

I just let him live there because he probably owns it, but it's like his workers, I'd imagine. Wow. Just the whole neighborhood. I guess. It is pretty amazing. Like there's large corporations that don't even do that. Like Walmart has done that. For like CEO type people? So Hershey's chocolate. Hershey's started in... Hershey, Pennsylvania. Well, I don't know if it was, it wasn't called Hershey, Pennsylvania. I'd assume when they started. James? Yeah.

Look that up. It was in Pennsylvania. Look that up. No, so then Hershey built a town for his employees. And then I'd imagine that it became Hershey, Pennsylvania. So are people going to start living in Mr. B's North Carolina? Well, they might. No, but Bentonville, Arkansas. My buddy Sam actually just moved there. I want to say like 3,000 population, but it's like growing rapidly because Walmart is like

dumping cash into the community. Really? Yeah, to try and make it a better community, spending a couple million bucks a year on just bike trails. But why? They have a Walmart headquarters now? Yeah, that's where the headquarters is, and that's where...

Why'd they put the... I want to say it was founded. I don't know about... Oh, that makes sense. But it was... That's the headquarters and they're just like trying to fuse a bunch of money into the community. So corporate grows bigger and then people come and work for corporate and they have like a cool place to live. No way. Yeah. Wow. Yeah.

I like that because sometimes it just simply doesn't happen with the government. Obviously, sometimes there's just no money for it. Like bike trails and stuff. It's just, it's cool. We could do a small scale with that out in the back 40. We could put in trailer houses. Oh, little Seaboys TVville. We could start working on our bar and our church and...

Yeah, that was an idea. When we bought the land, we said, well, this is where the church could go. Mine could be like the bar, the strip club. Dude, our videos just like... Ken manages the strip club. He's in like a suit. Like in three years, our videos just are trailer park boys. Like you can't tell the difference.

Ken, what did we figure out in Hershey, Pennsylvania? It was founded in 1903 to house companies' workers with modern amenities such as electricity and indoor plumbing. Nice. Okay, you were right. I didn't know that. I thought it was just there. So Sam bought his house in Bentonville, Arkansas, but the guy that he bought the house from got a job at Hershey's,

Like recently. And Hershey's bought the house or paid the $50,000 that he was losing to sell the house just to move to Hershey. Hmm.

Wow. Yeah. So kind of like an overlap or something like that. I don't know if I should have outed that information, but it kind of gets a little bit like a black mirror. What's the don't worry, darling. Like, you know, kind of like dystopian type where all the community is the same and like everybody goes to the same job. It's in movies. Look it up. Yeah. Very dystopian. But you know, it's kind of weird. Like if you think about everybody in the neighborhood, imagine the whole cul-de-sac all backs out.

And then drives to work at the big factory and then comes home to their factory sponsored houses. They're watching TV, factory sponsored TV. Like it does get a little weird. It could. Well, no, it's interesting that I think about it as... Tinfoil hat. Tinfoil hat. I've been a big tinfoil hat guy. That's actually a pretty good point. Because like we kind of eat, sleep, and breathe this business. Like, I mean, we really do. And in a sense, like...

with me staying here a bunch and like Evan living here that we really eat, sleep and breathe it. But then I look at certain like when, oh, there's employee housing and then they just go home to their employee housing and come back and like Tesla. And then I'm like, yeah, it's a little bit dystopian. That's what I mean. So imagine for here, we put our trailer park out in the back 40 and then...

Everybody goes home to their trailer park, and then we supply the TV. And all they can watch is our approved TV. Sounds like Korea. And then they go to our restaurant that we have over there. So they got to spend their money with us. Who would be the dictator? I mean, leader. Oh, we can, obviously. I feel like you'd be a good community leader.

Yeah, he'd have everyone in the back. I don't know if I'd want to. He'd have everyone in the back calling him daddy. Folding shirts. That'd be like a big picture of him. Daddy. Marching the streets. You got to make sure the picture doesn't have any dust on it. Oh my gosh. Punishable by, I don't know. Cleaning the toilet. Cleaning the royal prince's toilet. His majesty.

So what do you guys, so the 2024 Ford Raptor Ranger just came out. Very curious on your guys' opinions on it. That's real? Yeah. Give me the initial gut reaction. It's been real, but now it's coming to the U.S. in 2024. They're just Raptorizing everything. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, they're just Raptorizing everything. It looks... Does he have pink eye? No. Why? I mean, his eye is turning pink. I don't think he has pink eye, though.

Fucking hope not. Sorry to cut you off there, Mike. No, it's all good. We got an issue at hand here. I haven't done anything I would... All right, get a closer look here. Stay away from me. It maybe just looks a little... I'm fine. Irritated? Okay. It's fine. Sorry, sorry. My initial impression on the Ford Ranger Raptor...

I think it's cool. I love Rangers. I love Raptors. But I personally feel like you'll just never be able to beat a 1999 Ford Ranger.

It's like they're trying to get back to building a good Ranger. See, this thing is just too round and too nice. You've got simplicity. I feel like having four doors is too many. You should only have two. Wait, that's a mini in the back? Yeah, that's what it looks like. Oh, that looks really good, actually. It just looks like a mini Raptor. Honestly, yeah, I thought you were going to initially be like, it's just never going to be the...

The full-size Raptor, which is also true. But I love how you're comparing it to the 99. I think the 99 is better, dude. I think I have to agree mostly with the one thing that you said was they're too round, and I agree. They just are. Other than that, I think they look pretty cool. I think it'd be a little hooner, though. I bet you it'd really be able to rip it. So that was the one upside was is that it's a smaller, like, you know, you get that more fun, but it's the same motor that you guys have.

Damn. It's got the same motor as the big rep. The three liter V6. So it's like, that's kind of cool. I can see you ripping around a mini truck. Well, then it was funny because I'm reading, it says that it's likely lighter, faster, like more capable, like quicker and cheaper than the Ford Bronco Raptor. And then I looked up like the starting price of it and it's like,

15,000 less than the Bronco Raptor. Like what the heck? When do you guys get your Broncos? Mine gets built next week. No way. Whoa. So that doesn't mean you're going to get it. He said I should have it sometime in June. Oh, nice. That's really good. Yeah, I have no idea. Holy shit. That's going to be so cool. What are you going to do with your current bronco?

I got a buyer lined up, I think. Really? Who? A guy from Fargo. Nice. Nice. Wow. Ken. Ken. Are you going to lose money or make money on it? Breakeven.

Oh, I was like, you should absolutely be making money. At that point, I put 20,000 miles on the car in a year and a half, and I'm breaking even, so. Wow. Yeah, it's pretty good. Breaking even with all the mods you put on it? No, I'll lose the mods. Okay. I'd be happy with that, too, Ken's breaking even, but I definitely am hoping to make a little money on the broncage after I fix the hood, that is. Yeah. Yeah, you're going to just, like, PDR that? Yeah.

I saw that thing that you sent to me. I was like, that actually could work. But also, I just don't see it being 100%. But I want to try it. I feel like the satisfaction of that, oh my God. I don't even know. It's a plunger with a thing that slides. And then when you get to the top, it just pops it out. They make it look probably easier than it should be, but...

It actually, so back to the Raptor Ranger, I first thought it would be really lame. But if you actually used, like, not big open trail Baja-ing, but if you were, like, going to take it down, like, trails or go to Moab or something like that, I think it would actually be a pretty good truck because it's smaller. Yeah. You know, I think it would actually be a better off-road rig because it's more...

you know shorter and i'd agree with that yeah i would definitely like to see one and so i guess since ryan you have to get one he just immediately was like wow listen i was just saying nice things about it i don't actually want it no that thing had nothing to compare to a trx that's for sure or a 99 ford ranger or a 99 ford ranger i agree those yeah like like what's the first thing you think of like what image pops into your head when you say 99 ford ranger

I see a 99 gold, that gold colored, just two-door Ford Ranger. What happens when you think of a 1999 Ford Ranger? Oh, sorry. Well, I think of a 1999 Ford Ranger. I should have said, what happens when you think of a Ford Ranger? 1999 gold, two-door. Yeah, no, I agree. Cloth interior, maybe even a manual if you're lucky. Ooh. Fishbowl.

Old man. Do we ever give merch to Wade, our main UPS man? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. It was just funny because I gave him some merch the other day and... But he wasn't wearing it on the job. Yeah.

No, he's like... He was just, like, stoked. He's like, oh, thank you. Yeah, do you happen to have this in, like, a large? And I'm like, I'll go look. And I only had it in a small, so I was like, you got to give it to your wife. And he's like, oh, for my wife, too? Well, this is great. And he's just... Is this the first time we've ever given him merch? Like, of all... Yeah, I was saying, he's probably had... He's handled more merch than any other, like, shipping person, probably besides Ken, honestly. And I'm like, dude, is this our first time giving it to him? But...

Never mind. That's pretty cool. Yeah, he was stoked, which I just love. Yeah, I was like, just gave him a couple sweatshirts, and he was just stoked. He makes the world go round as far as getting the merch out the door. He's here every day. He lets us fill his truck up to the brim. Yeah, twice usually. I was thinking about this as it's gotten warmer out, and I was sweating, and now I'm all self-conscious that I'm always stinky after last week. And Mike called me out. Where do you think the most...

embarrassing place to sweat is i was kind of like putting it a list of like least embarrassing the most embarrassing hold on location or your body uh location on your body that's a good question i thought so like i would say underarm sweat not that embarrassing everybody does it oh i'd say your ass for sure yeah ass crap yeah no your whole ass like walking around with a sweaty i hate having like when you got sweaty or wet underwear oh

Yeah, I guess I'd say if you're rocking a line of sweat where your crack is, it's a tough level. That one's pretty tough. Yeah, I'd say that for sure. I was thinking the under boob. I was walking around. I was cleaning up the trampoline, and I had the under boob sweat right here, and I went, damn. Like, that's when you see someone sweat, and then you go, ooh. I'm surprised you can even get that. I think it just is like a sweat gland in here. It's not like necessarily the boob.

It's just the sweating area. I don't know if I've ever had that. I would say that. You never sweat on your chest or your stomach? I don't think so. I've never had it under my boob. I guess only spot there. Man, maybe. I'm sure I have. Yeah, usually like the sternum. Yeah, you get in here and then it just works its way over here. Ryan's got a very interesting chest though. You have like the dent. I got the divot, yeah, which I think doesn't help. Do you get hit with a baseball when you're younger or what? No, it's like a condition and a lot of people get it fixed, but mine isn't that bad. Yeah, it's like an inward sternum-ness.

Really? Yeah. Look it up. Inward collapse chest cavity. It's one of many things that you could get made fun of in elementary school and high school. It's one of the many things that's wrong with me.

They had so many things. Well, does it affect anything? Well, no. Like some people, it's real bad. Yeah. We haven't any luck. Pectus excavadium. Sounds fancy enough for me. God, that sounds terrible. Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is definitely it. Yeah. Somebody I knew had it like real, real bad. Yeah. See, like it's like a big deal for some people. They got to get that shit fixed. Oh, shit. Mine ain't that bad.

I can't imagine getting that fix. That would hurt. It just seems so invasive. Man, you feel like a dick now for asking Ryan if he got hit with a baseball? Yeah, it's a goddamn pectus of activity. Maybe he wasn't paying attention in T-ball and someone just had a dinger right off the tee.

I think I like the scientific name. The other names aren't as fun. Well, it's kind of fun. Funnel chest, dented chest, sunken chest, concave chest, chest hole. I've actually, I didn't even, I wasn't going to say this, but then you showed the picture. I've seen a TikTok of someone with this condition and they were eating cereal. Ryan can put a beer in it.

Yeah, I got the belly now too. So like the belly holds the beer and it sits in there. Are you talking about the liquid or the actual can? No, like the can that's sitting right there. You ever see Ryan sitting in like any chair and he's got a beer just perched up? It's like a built-in beer holder. Cripes, have I? It's just sitting on your belly and it's sitting in your dent. That's a full-size gut move there. You can do it, right? He's doing it with a shirt on. He would spill immediately.

I was actually so freaking bad at T-ball. I played small-town league softball, and that's one of those things. My parents should have just pulled me out of that. Out of softball? What does that even mean? Actually, it wasn't T-ball. I probably was bad at T-ball, too. I think I was bad at T-ball, too. Softball, more or less. Were you guys good at any sports? Skateboarding, snowboarding. Organized sports? No.

One time I was playing outfield because in small town league softball, when you're 11, nobody can hit it to the outfield and,

But we were playing Holly when they always had the good athletes because, you know, we got our two Holly athletes here. But some guy hit it really far and the ball was coming and it was in the sun and I got scared and I went like that and I caught it. Oh, shit. Yeah, I won the fucking game. Wow. Or at least the inning. But if I remember it, it was like my, it was the world series. Ryan thinks every inning is a game. I have a similar story that this was in, I don't know, it must have been underhand pitch, but there was this cute,

teenage girl. So I would have probably been fucking eight. But I was standing on first base and she was kind of over here and I was like looking at her and I was staring. The kid hit, fucking hit me square in the chest. Square in the chest. And I can't remember if it landed in my glove or just hit the ground, but people were laughing. People were laughing because I wasn't paying attention. I wore that motherfucker right to the chest and I had the wind knocked out of me. But I was too embarrassed to really show up.

Did you get a dent? I don't got a dent. That's where you get hit with a baseball. That makes so much more sense now. That happened. I was staring at his chick. Dude, slow pitch sometimes stresses me out. You get some of the beer league guys, and it's just big. Any size, dude. There's no beer league kids in mind. Luckily, you'd be fine there. Mike, what the fuck?

fucking league where you went so you've never heard of beer league softball no I have but when you're 8 so whoa who said I was in it when I was 8 he was 11 uh

Plenty old, so no good from wrong. You're like slow pitching to these full-grown men, and you're just normal distance away. Slow pitching a giant ball that's the easiest thing to hit in the world, and they can just laser it wherever they want. And if that shit hits you in the head, I mean, anywhere. I'm just saying a baseball is smaller, it can hit you about just as hard, but the softball, bigger, and then you just get a big piece of it and it domes you anywhere on your body, that shit is sending you home. Dude, that's...

I kind of picture Mike, Cody, and Evan being the benchwarmers in the movie where they're playing Little League softball. One of these kids drinking. They're out there playing against 12-year-olds. Oh, and we're full size. You're the full grown adults. Benchwarmers is an incredible movie. I was in golf and I had this buddy that was in golf with us that got hit twice in one seat.

Like, bad. What? But it's...

It just became the joke of the team that this kid was going to get hit. And he did. Oh, they joked about it before he got hit? Like, where did he get hit? Bro, I can't remember. In the head? Yeah. Bad. Bad. Was he crying? I don't know about that. But, like, full on, like, getting hit. Did you hit him? No, I didn't. But I think he, like, quit because...

Because it became a safety hazard. Bro, that's funny. First dude to get, like, had to quit golf. It was too dangerous for him. I mean, yeah, after the second one, you're like, I'm done with this shit. Yeah, getting hit by, like, a full-size drive or really anything would... Bad deal. Bad deal. Yeah, golf balls can do some damage. At least they have some, like, give to them so they can bounce off your head easier.

I'm not sure if they have much give. No, they don't. CJ, to answer your question, though, believe it or not, I was actually the leading goal scorer in soccer. Honestly, I don't think you ever told us that. Not that you were. I don't think it's that impressive of a. But that means you're the star player of an accomplishment. You know, that means you were the TJ Oshie scoring goals. I'm not sure if I quite say that.

Team was pretty bad, so I didn't have much to beat. But other than that, though, no, no, I was not an athlete. I wish I would have stuck with golf, though, because like I feel like being good at golf, you can obviously golf for your entire life. I mean, look at Grandpa Ron. He's 80 and he's still out there. And like if you're if you're really good at golf, it's even more fun. Then you can go out there and like not get pissed every single shot. Dude, I just saw this video. There was this this guy and I guess the article says he's a YouTuber and

But he was teeing off at a golf event and just rocked it into the crowd. On purpose? No, on accident. Oh. I would assume on accident. I always wonder that when I see those like PGA. I mean, granted, those guys know how to hit the ball straight. But if I was out there, it'd be a real hazard. Is this guy a pro? I don't think so. But what are these people doing? Holy shit, dude. Could you imagine shanking it into a crowd like that? Are they okay? Yeah, he was okay. He took it to the head.

Wait, it was the guy? Oh my gosh, dude. He was filming? It was like the guy filming. Holy crap.

Ouch. Dude, that's slow. You know how much you'd have... You know people pay to stand there? They'd have to pay people to stand there if I were golfing. Dude. I'm just saying. There's like so many people down the way. You can't even stand parallel to me or whatever. Yeah, you can't even stand behind you. Talk about a gamble I would not be willing to take. Yeah. But that's what I mean. Even with like really good golfers, I don't think I'd be comfortable standing there knowing that that could happen to you. That's crazy. They're rocking. Yeah, bro. People get hit on golf courses all the time. Like...

Really? Yeah. So golf is a dangerous sport. It is. Well, I don't know what the odds are, but you golf long enough, yeah, you're probably going to get hit. I'm normally the one doing the hitting. We're all going to keep golfing the rest of our lives, most likely. What's going to come first, the hole-in-one or getting domed? You getting domed, for sure. Yeah, there's no chance at a hole-in-one. I hate to say it, Mike. Yeah, you're right. My sister was a professional golfer, and she's had one hole-in-one. Then she's only got...

One thing left to do.

That's pretty cool. It's funny that you say that because I agree completely, and it's on my bucket list. Hole-in-one. Get out there, Mike. You've got a lot of holes to play. Mike. Yeah, a lot of par threes. If there's any par twos out there, let me know. I'll tell you what, though, Mike. Honestly, don't give up on your dream of getting a hole-in-one because Grandpa Ron has three hole-in-ones. Really? He plays a lot of golf. He plays a lot of golf, but...

I would accept it not happening, but I got many years. I actually, in team sports, was so bad in basketball, I got the no dribble rule. I wasn't allowed to dribble. I was either supposed to catch it. I didn't know that was a thing. Well, it's not exactly like a rule. What do you mean that? The coach came to me and said, Ryan, if the ball comes to you, you stop and immediately look for someone else to pass it to, or you shoot it.

Like, you are not to dribble it around. How do you take that? Like, how do you... I mean, I wasn't going to be like, no, fuck you. I'm so good at dribbling because I wasn't. But did you know, did you understand, like, wow, he's telling me I'm so bad? Yes. Okay, yeah, yeah, it's a good plan. I said that, but in my brain I went, I am so not to be trusted with this ball right now. I need to either immediately get rid of it or shoot. Dribble? That's so funny. No dribbling. It's like...

I don't know. The easiest thing to do. But it was just that I think the idea was that if the ball came to me, it was only to go to someone else who could make a play or to shoot. I wasn't going to be making any plays out there on the court. Ryan, I used to always think that you were a pretty good basketball player because you always wore Jordans. Dude.

first of all i was a good shooter bro you were jordan's shirt sweatshirt pants you're right jordan is fit in high school and his shorts you know he's wearing the long jordan's past the knees right here this is jordan ryan they were in style so i always thought that ryan was like super good at basketball because i'm

Quite possibly the worst basketball player that you've ever met. Can't make it anything. So like we'd be out playing basketball on his driveway and I'm like, dude, this guy's like LeBron James. No, I was a good shooter. I just had no court vision. Was not a good team player. I couldn't like work with. Also remembering plays was so hard.

I like what you said there, court vision. Obviously, there's like having ball handling skills, but I like the point guards when they're rolling down and they're like, just look this way and they're passing it this way. Like that to me is one of the most satisfying things ever that I'll never be able to do is just like fake someone out by knowing what's going to happen on the basketball court. Then I got cut from the golf team.

Not cut. I just wasn't allowed to go to meets. Oh, yeah. I thought we talked about this. I wasn't allowed to go to meets either. I was just on the- I could practice. Yeah.

They took my membership money, but I wasn't allowed to go to meets. And I, it was so funny. What did that conversation look like? I just stopped getting invited. It was after I did really bad and I didn't think that my score mattered. I was like, oh, they only take the best one. So I like ended up just like tenning every hole. And my coach was like, what the fuck did you do today? Like our team's actually good.

And I was like, I thought like they only took the top three and they were like, no, it's everybody. I kind of, I screwed the whole team. I didn't get to go anymore.

yeah well it's usually six and then they have like eight playing and two don't that's what i thought i thought it was a part of the people who didn't matter i was just there to have fun but apparently i was important oh man but nobody really it was never like there wasn't like a meeting in the locker room right yeah i just wasn't there dude they're like what do we do about this guy

Just quit inviting them. But I was too stupid to know, so that's good. Sometimes that's the best. For me, when they didn't invite me, I'm just like, this is great. They didn't invite me again. Now I just get to go hit the course, which was kind of silly, but I was happy about it. Another day, I don't have to. I mean, the days that they got to miss school. But when it's like when I did not envy the people in track and golf, and especially cross country, on a rainy day that they're like –

trucking two hours in the bus to like Manomen to go run or golf in the rain. That doesn't sound fun. Yeah, it was always like the shittiest weather. Well, thanks for saying I was good at basketball. You want to go play horse in the driveway? No. I want to see you get dressed up in some Jordans. I still got some. All your Jordan stuff. I'll go put some on. Wear that for the weekend. See where that gets you.

Ryan's an all white, got a headband, walks into Zorba's. Dressed like damn Carmelo Anthony. Yeah, he's got a t-shirt below his elbows and shorts go below his knees. All right. Should we wrap? Yeah.
