Alrighty, everybody. Welcome back to the Life Wide Open podcast. Hello. So I like to consider this podcast, you know, a pretty inclusive. We're for men, women, men.

Not really so much children, but old young. But I would like to start out this podcast with something just for the boys. Okay. All the ladies right now, you just, you skip ahead five, 10 minutes. You don't need to hear this. That was nice of you. Yeah. Knock it out right away. Yeah. So yeah, all the ladies are gone. Just skip on. You guys watch The Bachelor this week.

No. Why would you get rid of The Bachelor? Or why would you get rid of the ladies for this? Oh, it was like the TikTok. It was like the TikTok trend of like, start talking about, okay, okay. Now, this is just for the boys only. It's a boys discussion about The Bachelor. To answer your question, no. I actually did watch it. Okay, good. Which I never do, and I only watched the first episode. I've never seen a full episode of The Bachelor. And I'm not even saying, oh, because you're kind of a wuss if you watch it. Nah, I just never seen it. You want to know why I did?

Because one of Alex's, my girlfriend's friend, was on The Bachelor. So I was like, well, shit. Oh, really? I'll watch it with you. So she had it on. So I was like, well, I'll sit down and watch it. It's pretty cool. Like someone you know is on The Bachelor from Fargo. So what ended up happening, man? And also before anybody listening to him that goes, I don't want to hear the boys talk about The Bachelor. It's basically 30 chicks trying to fuck one dude. It's great. It's great TV. Like when you look at it that way, it's pretty cool to watch. You just watch one of your good...

imaginary friends just living the dream i've actually i haven't watched a single episode of it but i've heard pretty good things about it from from a lot of guys it was it was good i thought how many seasons can look at how many seasons the bachelor or the bachelorette has been going the current season is season 27 oh my goodness so that'd be 27 years basically it's been going on wouldn't it yeah and because they only do one a year don't they

They do The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and The Bachelor in Paradise. Oh. And The Bachelorette is on season 19. Wow. But it must be... When did it start, Ken? There's a shitload of shitty dating...

Shows out there. They've modeled so many after it too. I remember Flavor of Love when I was a kid. And they'd like the Hard Rock with Chris. Kid Rock, I mean. Kid Rock. Well, what about the one that my buddy Jace got

Too Hot to Handle? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, there's so many. Love Island, FBoy Island. Maybe it was Love Island. I don't know. It was something, though, that they hit them up. No, it was probably FBoy Island. Yeah, it might have been that. But when Jace called me, he was like, dude, I just got hit up by this talent agency that was like, we're looking for candidates for this show. I was like, bro, you got to play into just being the biggest douchebag. We were like, bro, you got to just play into that character so you get a spot on it because they're obviously looking for the most extremes. Right.

That's why I was very interested that the chick from Fargo got one of the spots. So how did that... Well, one, how did she get the spot? And two, what ended up happening? Honestly, so when I found out that she was going to be on it, I've never even talked to this girl. But I was telling Alex, I was like, she needs to either go on there and be one side or the other. Pull her up, either be the...

The bad girl or the like sweetheart? Because it's always like they seem to pitch people against each other and those people make it the furthest and they almost get their own show after it. And if you're in the middle, they don't even show you. You don't stand out. Yeah, you got to stand out on one end of the spectrum is kind of what I was telling her, which I don't even think she did that. I don't think she told her anything like that, but I'm sure she already knew.

One of the stories is like she came in and honestly, I feel bad for her because like a lot of this stuff, I'm pretty sure is so set up. Like I was watching all the shots and as like someone who makes a video every week, I was like, that was so set up. But you don't just have like these, you know. Still reality TV. Natural scenes happening. But she kind of got depicted as like they just, they chopped it up and didn't make her look like,

by any means like awesome. I thought they were like setting her up to be kind of like the antagonist of that whole season. And then the guy just like let her go first night. So like they just kind of made her look bad. And then I feel like you're beating around the bush here, right? What was your take on it? Well, so CJ is definitely right when, I mean, her intro was like,

up in fargo we say oofta and oofta like they were all cringy they were all cringy they were i mean that's a tough position for the girl to be in and stuff like that and you know that they were like oh they say oofta up there you need to say that and she's like okay well i gotta make the show whatever so she does that and she kind of had like an iffy one-on-one it's a difficult scenario for sure

Then after that, things kind of started to twist and you could tell they were probably trying to feed her like, oh, you need to, you need to be pushy. You want, you're out here getting what you want. You're from a hardworking area. You go and get what you want. So she starts doing that. And then it appeared in the show, you know, I'm watching, I'm excited. I'm North Dakota get represented all that. It appeared as if she started to get really drunk.

I'm not sure if she did, but they run them all night and they're drinking and whatnot. And then he's talking to another girl and she's like, I'm going to go interrupt them, which I think is like a no-no. It was kind of weird. So she goes, interrupts them, and then they cut to her doing like a side interview. And she's like, I'm going to get what I want. I want a kiss. I'm going to go after it.

So she interrupts the conversation, which was really awkward. And then see they gritty together, which turned into quite a meme. Like whatever. To be fair, she was depicted very cringely. But every single girl on there, the whole thing is cringy. That's like part of the whole show. That's part of the show. You know, that's the whole shtick of it. So I'm sure they were kind of like setting her up to it. 100%.

So then she goes in and kind of does this thing and she kind of forces a kiss on the guy and the guy was just not having it. Yeah, it was really strange. And I don't know if that was her, the show, whatever. I'm watching. I'm just like, Ooh, wow. This is just not going well. No. After that, all the other girls are like, Holy shit, what's this chick doing? And,

Then eventually after that... Yeah, she was the main character of the first episode. She was. She made the episode. She made the whole episode by far better. By far better, which is what I was... And when I was watching it, I'm just like... I'm surprised they didn't keep her around. That's what I'm saying. When I was watching it, I was like, she's doing an awesome job because you're standing out. That's basically what you need to do. If you're going to get an opportunity like this, you got to stand out. Yeah. You know? So I was thinking she was doing a great job. 100%. So...

That happened. She goes, ah, that didn't sit well with the guy. Then she kind of goes off, cried a little bit, appeared to maybe even get a little bit more drunk. Did a couple interviews where it didn't go so well and whatever. Alex thought she was fake crying. Okay. That is interesting. And honestly, who knows, you know? So then she goes. To be clear, Alex does not know anything. She hasn't asked her. Okay. Yeah.

And then she goes and interrupts a third time in this same guy, the guy talking to the other guy before the rose ceremony. She comes up and goes, listen, I'm here for what I want. All this kind of just lays it all in line. She goes, am I getting a rose tonight? And he was like,

nah no you're not getting a rose i've literally just turned her away yep and and he was you know super nice pretty awkward position to be in for all of them and then they she just kind of like walked off which i'm sure was part of the show kind of crying and stuff yeah like this big dramatic walk off yeah wow so but i feel like uh

It was like a setup. I kind of feel like she was put onto this. You kind of can push your own way, but then they are producing it. So behind the scenes, they're like, oh, go do, you know. Yeah, they're making good TV. That's how it works. That's how we're going to make good TV. And at the expense of this show. Honestly, it's weird because if she wouldn't have gotten let go, she would have been, I guarantee you, to the end because it was like the main character. So I don't know why he let her go or if maybe that was just a produce of, like the producers like play in like,

We're gonna have this first episode absolutely crazy, and then, boom, throw everyone for a twist, and she's gone, first episode, which is another thing, you know? Because it's like...

It was very engaging. It was very engaging. Yeah. If she's interrupting three times, I feel like maybe the last interruption might've been the one that put him over the edge of being uncomfortable versus the producers being like, it was never, it was never going from the start. I feel like it's all just a big scripted show personally. Dude. So yeah, when I was watching it, I think she went in there and she knows she's like, okay, I don't know if I'm going to make it to the end.

We, they started down that road and she's like, I'm going all in on this. And they worked out a deal. And now she's going to come back in one of the later episodes where they pull people back in that are like the villains or people that got let go early that have a story. So I think she went in negotiated back. I mean, she owns a marketing agency. Like she's smart comes in. I think she's,

comes in, negotiates a bag to embarrass herself, comes back later in the season and then redeems herself and goes, Oh, I'm sorry. I did all this. I just, yeah, I was emotional. All that comes back, redeems her personality, redeems,

redeems herself with the guy, and then maybe even continues on. Oh, my gosh. I mean, if that's the case, that'd be brilliant. That was brilliant. If not, they better be listening to this right now being like, holy shit. We need to get this guy on the team. She definitely got chopped up as the villain of the first episode or like the crazier girl. But the only thing that really bugged me about the whole thing was that

All these... So I'm still friends with all these people that are Fargo locals or whatever. And they were on like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, just like bashing her. And I was like... They don't get it, man. They're just like talking shit and all this. I'm like...

What? It very much so irked me because I feel bad for her in that regard because it's like you go and you try to get something going. And whenever you're doing anything, maybe it's probably not just like Fargo or the smaller town Midwest areas. Probably...

a lot of other places, but like whenever someone tries to do anything other than the norm and it doesn't work out, everyone bashes them and tries to make fun of them when like they're just sitting at home the whole time, not trying anything new, not trying to like watching them different. Yeah, exactly. So it was kind of like, I don't know. It just irks me that she's getting bashed by like other people. And to be clear, I've never even said a word to her. I didn't even know that she was friends with Alex until she said that. But, uh,

Yeah, I feel bad for it in that regard because it also is really easy to make someone look bad through the power of editing or make someone look really good. We kind of know from a little experience about reality TV and now we know more is that sometimes the group, let's say it's a group of us that we're so stoked to be on the show that someone, the producer, gives them a really dope role. And so they're stoked. They're like, yeah, I'm going to go be the badass or be the funny guy. And then...

Some people get a really bad role and they still like play it out because they're getting the bag. Like, okay, but you have to play like a dweeb and you have to say stupid stuff you don't want to say, but you have to make it look like it's you saying it. And that's what I think happened to her. And I think to go with CJ's thing, I think people from around here got way too tore up about it. So for everybody else who isn't from around here, she got like shit on, on Facebook. And I was like...

From just like literally people that went to school with her. I think she was like, that was the biggest thing is like, she made Fargo look so bad. I'm like, I, I never associate a character with a town. Like that's just kind of like a, maybe a little too self-centered, too self-centered of something to think, you know, like she, she,

I don't think anybody really cares. And I think people should be nice to her because, you know, it was, it was like for her, for going out and trying something. And if you're a hater and you haven't done shit, you don't have any right to hate. But,

But, I mean, if she wants to continue her journey in front of the camera, we got a buddy, Big Ken. He's single. Yeah, we could do our own version of The Bachelor with Ken. Dude, people love to see other people fail much more than they like to see them succeed. Yeah, it's more interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm sure that they were...

you know, pretty excited to see this chick go on and, and get made look like a fool. And they were like, told you, told you like that shit isn't worth it. Or like winners like to see other people win. It's always interesting to when something happens to us or bad publicity comes out about us. Just like,

The people that come out of the woodworks to show love. And then you see so much, so much of like how people really feel because then they start talking shit because they feel like they have like some ground to stand on. Like I told you that they were idiots or things like that. So, I mean, it is always interesting to see.

the people that have your back on the L's. And to be fair, there's nothing wrong with just living a normal life, working a normal job, but I just don't like people that hate on other people for going out and trying to do something different. And yeah, like, I mean, we've all been at the mercy of that probably still now, but especially when we were even smaller than now. And yeah, I mean, my only advice to like, especially in something like that,

It might seem like a big deal now, but literally in one week, no one's going to fucking remember. No one's going to care. And that could go with literally anything, even if you're in high school and maybe some big...

drama scandal or something happens and you feel like everyone is talking about you or making fun of you or whatever and you're you feel very insecure guarantee you if you just keep at it keep moving on keep moving forward in one week something else will happen and everyone's gonna forget about it gonna say you're not gonna be the center of attention for long so yeah it's good advice

So speaking of like kind of what you said earlier about how you in, in the limelight, in the camera, you need to be polarizing. You gotta be like one or the other. You gotta be one or the other. Otherwise you're nothing. I think I made a mistake. Hmm.

So I don't think it was worth it for me to get my nipple pierced. I was going to say, is this about the nipple piercing? And I'll hear from you guys, but I already know. I know the whole story. I know that I didn't react good enough. Everything about me getting my nipple pierced was bullshit.

like it didn't even make and it didn't make it in the year end recap which I get yeah I get that but it didn't make it in that and then also like I didn't do it during the summer so no one like saw it in person uh the reason that I got it was parking in front of the door like total total which barely we had to like cut it up to make it even at all interesting so I remember even at the time being like

Should I just lay down and be like, I'm not doing it. I'll do it for a better reason. You could have probably said that, but also at the same time, we were staying so true to this rule that we had. I was kind of like, I think it's dumb. I'll still do it. And then I was like, I'm going to be a badass and not make a noise. And then it was just like,

He pokes a needle through my nipple and then everyone's like, ha, you got it. There was something cool about like how you were so tough about it, but it definitely... That's the only cool thing I have to say about it. The only positive about you being so like tough and not even flinching about it was that it was different than everyone else absolutely screaming their lungs out. Yeah, it was like a good...

comparison to it. But at the end of the day, like when we were making the year end recap, we had all these different ones. There was what, six of them? Yeah. And, well, five. There's five of them. Ryan didn't have his. And we were like, man, I feel like this is just like kind of getting repetitive. And if there was anyone to cut out. And there's Mike's and,

I'll just take pride in that then. I'll take pride in that. Then I remember just being like, damn, bro. He's going to watch this and be like, hour and 45 minute long video and I couldn't get three seconds for his nipple getting pierced. Are you guys' nipples fucked up after that? And that was like, my finishing thing is, yeah, my left one is a lot less attractive than my right one now. Was it really, Matt? Yeah, it's just, it's like,

bigger now. Yeah, mine looks kind of gross, dude. Not gross, I shouldn't say, but I thought having both of them get done, I was like, well, at least they'll be even, but this one's like something's up with it, dude. It's like bigger now. And I'm like, god damn it. I've also gained some weight, too, so it's not helping. You think it's going to your nipple? Possibly. Possibly. And so, you know, that's one consequence that none of us ever thought about. It doesn't really matter either. You're how...

It's a little different. Maybe we should start doing tattoos next. If I do tattoos, I want it to be more permanent. Sounds like a more permanent regret. I've always that idea. Big Ken's face on my arm. That'd be cool. The idea always intrigues me, but I...

I couldn't even let someone who doesn't have a mean bone in their body pick my tattoo. Let alone your best friends that are definitely going to pick a funny tattoo. I just couldn't do it. I don't know if it really fits our look, though. If we were all tatted up, you'd look like Miley Cyrus with these random tattoos all over your body. Even if you did it cool, like you did a full sleeve, it just would almost...

I don't know. I feel like it just is too badass of a look. And we're just not badass enough. Well, dude, you could be like... I'll get some tattoos sometime. I was just thinking the other day, someone asked me if Cody ever got his BRAP. He has BRAP on his... I guess it's on his right hand and it says Brad because the P, the D. The P looks like a D. And it's just really interesting to me. He went in, got a tat, and it was like his first tat ever. Still his only tat. And it was on his hand.

And then just never, no more. He didn't have any more. No urge to get even another one anywhere. Most people say once you have one tattoo, they're very addicting. Well, you might as well just lay them on, yeah, after a point. Mike, the thing that you said, though, like I wouldn't let anybody pick a tattoo even if they were the nicest people in the world.

I get that, but the other side of things is like if I picked a tattoo for CJ, I know in like three weeks time, I'm going to lose something where now tattoos are an option and then he gets to pick one for me. That's true. So it's like...

How hard do you want to go on it? Well, and I agree with that too, but it's like sometimes people's levels are just different. Your understanding of if I'm picking a savage tattoo for you and you're picking a savage tattoo for someone else, they might just be much different in different realms where I'm like, that is savage. And then you're like, no, he's got to get just as dick and balls right on his shoulder. Like at,

That was a horrible example. Honestly, though, if you were fully tatted up, I'm not letting Mike take my tattoo. If you were fully tatted up, you could put like a dick and balls on someone and it literally wouldn't fucking matter because they're so tatted, it would just probably blend in, you know? Yeah, you don't look at them. Like after a point, you would hardly even notice half the shit, you know? It's just like...

It is interesting how you said Miley Cyrus. There's a new age of tattoos where you just get little ones all over. I think those look so dumb, dude. I think on certain girls it can be an aesthetic. But other than that, I think they look kind of silly. So this is going to probably tick a lot of people off. Do you guys think Miley Cyrus is hot?

It seems like all of our girlfriends think that she is so hot, but I'm just like, I don't think she's that hot. She looks like, no offense, but she looks like a lesbian, which there's nothing wrong with being, but she does. She's got like this grease back hair. Yeah, bro. I'm just like, what?

the fuck this isn't hot at all random ass tats and like she's just like kind of greasy looks gross looks like i haven't showered dude i do love that new song though flowers it's a banger it's a banger hi i'm angie hicks co-founder of angie and one thing i've learned is that you buy a house but you make it a home

I think that our girlfriends think that Miley Cyrus is...

10 times hotter because she stands for like women power and she kind of came out with like these songs and she's like, fuck boys and all these things. And I think a lot of girls think that's hot that like women are standing up for other women. I think that adds to it because if she came out and was like pretty like acting masculine and like didn't stand for like things that they believe in.

probably wouldn't be as hot in their eyes. Her voice is kind of manly too even a little bit. She sounds like a smoker. Yeah. But that's hot though. I think yeah in some songs Oh you think that's hot because I guarantee CJ does not think that's hot. You think a manly voice is hot? Well no. And do I I guess yeah do I think like a female with a

Yeah, I guess. Like a smoker's. Yeah, if a female sounds like a smoker and a man that's hot, no. No. But you know, if she sounds like Miley Cyrus, yeah. Well, singing or talking? Definitely singing. Yeah, that's what I mean. I think you take that with the. I'm talking the talking. Oh, I guess you kind of take that. If someone has that type of voice and they can sing like that, how could you not think it's.

at least halfway. Well, yeah, definitely having talent. Yeah, I mean, talent is attractive, but I mean, if you're just a bar rat just ripping darts with the boys out front. She's like, hey, welcome to the roadhouse. Mike's like, oh my God.

She, uh, Miley Cyrus is so good at acoustic covers of sometimes male songs, but more like old country or rock. I mean, have you heard post Malone? No, she does a cover of nothing else matters by Metallica. And it's fucking extraordinary. It's amazing. So I don't know. There's things I, I, she's not my style, but she's probably somebody's style, you know, very hipsterish style.

Yeah. With like the tattoos. Yeah. But we cannot. I just I'm like that all being said, we can't forget about like Jays on my feet. Yeah.

That's a lit song. You know that era? J's On My Feet was a lit song. I don't know if you think that I'm like... He likes it. I wasn't necessarily hyping up the song, but that was an interesting time. Dude, you're in a vehicle with subs. Somebody's in high school that happened to have subwoofers and you're just like rattling the whole car apart. You're like, this is lit.

To Miley Cyrus? No. I want to put myself in that position. The song wasn't just Miley Cyrus. It was Juicy J, who was one of the most popular rappers back then. Yeah, you throw on Lil Wayne, a milli or something like that. Yeah, I can picture myself in Justin's Beamer. Dude. Shaking to my core. Well, you just picked the most. You guys know who's such an underrated women rapper? Bad Baby.

What happened to her? Dude, she started doing OnlyFans and she got a bag. She made $53 million on OnlyFans, so I don't blame her for... Probably what happened. Legitimately, probably what happened. That's crazy. But she had some bangers. Did you see what she said? Yeah, she did have good rap music, but I watched this interview with Caleb Presley on Barstool. That was funny. Would you speak about chopped up...

that's highly chopped up and edited to make it more funny, but it was really funny and intriguing. They didn't even make her look bad. When she turned 18, she dropped her OnlyFans that night. As soon as she turned 18, OnlyFans, pictures up, go subscribe. Like,

That minute. And then I guess she like made a statement saying that anybody who subscribed to her OnlyFans that night or that first night or whatever should be in jail. And she just said it herself. Yeah, a lot of people have helped create that bag for her. Yeah, that's... That is a weird thing though if you think about it. That's kind of fucked. Well, it's like when Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things turned 18 and like all...

all of these people were like finally she's 18 and like just basically just making commenting how like she's hot and now she's finally 18 and then everyone was like you were scoping her out yeah yeah where you just looking at her and then you just didn't say anything until she turned 18 but you thought that I don't know yeah but to answer your question though she's probably just chilling dude in some big ass house I

I occasionally will get recommended her Instagram photos, and it's her standing on top of a Bentley or standing on top of a Lambo. And I'm like, that's awesome. I can imagine that is exactly what Dr. Phil would have not imagined happening. She's holding up a reputation, man. Being a bad baby. Talk about taking something that usually...

Like for the instance of the girl going on The Bachelor. That's what I mean. Made a moment. But making a moment and like running with it, dude. Yeah. Because she could have just been like a kind of one mean wonder. You could have been just another episode, but you stood out so much. Can you imagine being 18 years old making $54 million? Like people like that where you made that much money so young, you must have no perception of just like –

Yeah, reality and also just like how I wonder if they even realize how lucky they are because obviously you got to be jaded to it because you never really even had a chance.

I know. It's like whenever the cutoff age of whenever you get that money. So she got that money really early. But when she was 15, like she was mostly she was just bad. She's a bad guy. But yeah, she was like, you know, she was like stealing her mom's car and stealing other people's shit and stealing stuff from stores. And that comes from kind of trying to just hustle and having no money to work with. Territory of being a bad baby.

But she came into money shortly after that, so probably forgot everything about that and forgot everything ahead of her that she needs to learn. You know, it's crazy, though. You see these rappers making extremely large bags, but they never really give up the street lifestyle. Like Gunna and Young Thug, I guess I don't know a whole lot about it, but I think they went to jail for racketeering. Rico charges. Rico charges. Which is like the worst you can get, apparently. Apparently, Rico charges are just like...

They can just charge you for everything. Like if you got charged for possession, they can't also attack your business. You get charged with Rico. They're like everything we're going out. This is driving record is I've never actually even heard of that. Yeah. Everything to answer your question. I think it's because they, they stay hanging around like the same crew and maybe they stay going back to like the hood and, and all that. And also like,

I don't know. I feel you probably can't take it out of them after a certain point, you know, that's just like what you know and what you do. As bad as it sounds like a little bit of pride. I mean, we take pride in what we do and we try not to be different than we were when we first started. And there's, he's probably there. These rappers are probably not trying to be very different. Yeah. Well, what if I, if I just like got the money, got a mansion and then just didn't do anything, they'd be like, yeah, this guy's soft. That's true. Changed. Yeah.

That's very true, too. You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Yeah, I don't know if we've ever talked about it on the podcast, but Lil Baby has a documentary showing his come-up story. And Lil Baby's one of the biggest rappers right now. But, dude, he was making a million bucks a year selling drugs before he even started rapping. And he started rapping... Do you want to mute that? Turn your ringer off. Do you want to mute that, buddy? He started rapping like three years ago.

Just like the wildest shit. Yeah, they kind of like forced him to rap too because he was in jail or something and then once he got out, he was hanging around, you know, his buddies who I think were also maybe selling drugs but they were doing music on the side and he was just chilling. They like got him in the booth one time and they were like, you're pretty good. I thought he had a big rapper. I think it was Young Thug. Oh yeah, Young Thug was like his boys. Yeah, they were like, dude, your Instagram captions are fire. You got pretty good like, uh,

flow and and rhythm you should try rapping it's pretty amazing he's now literally the biggest rapper of 2022 and then you said that young thug paid him to not sell drugs right or something like that yeah because then he was like well it's just so easy to like make a quick bag off of drugs he was like no no just stick with rapping you're not gonna make shit for the next year or you'll be in jail yeah but i'll pay you to just stay off the streets wow yeah wow that's pretty crazy hmm

You're good on those cameras. Look good, Ken. Sweet. Mike, did you want me to pull up that link you sent me? Not right now, but yes. Yeah, I've got it ready to go. Ken, would you be interested in doing that, going on The Bachelor? No. What if we did our own version of The Bachelor? We got just, let's say, 15 girls, and we do a speed dating. It's like a quick little... I'm not talking clapping, obviously.

Like that's kind of the noise I made with my mouth there, but, uh, I'm talking just like, you know, maybe like a one minute, like boom, boom, boom, like conversations. And then at the end of it, you give one girl a rose and go on a nice date. I could see it could be a good little bit. That'd be a great bit. And you might find the love of your life. Yeah.

We'll ask your girl from Fargo if she wants to be on. Instead of a rose, she gets your vape. Evan goes, instead of a rose, she hits his vape. She gets it. Oh, she gets the vape? Yeah. Oh, Ken must really like her to give away the vape. I'll cherish this forever. Well, it's only 2,000 puffs, so...

So the other day I saw this, this news article saying that people will get 20% of the revenue made if they start narking on people for parking and bike lanes. I saw this in a Casey Neistat video. Yeah. And it's like $125 or $175 ticket, I believe. And then if people nark on them, they get 20% of that. So like you just go around the city and

take pictures of people parked in the bike lane, turn them in, they get ticketed, and then you get 20% of the revenue. So you make like $30? Yeah, but you could just go around and do it all day. That could just be people's jobs. Ten of them got 300 bones out of it. For a stint, I'm sure it'll change and get saturated, but that could be literally people's jobs. That's Uber Eats money. Yeah, I'm sure people would take advantage of it, but I don't know. There was the argument of just like,

Is that morally messed up for like everyone to become kind of like a parking police? Yeah, you're going to switch up, become a rat. It's tough because if I were in a situation where I needed to park in a bike lane, you know, things were going on, I'm in a hurry and then this and that and you got caught by someone like that, I'd be like, screw this guy. However, that's one of those things that's like, have you seen the shopping cart police kind of the guy on TikTok? So funny. So funny. He just goes around and just...

Harasses the shit out of people that don't put their carts back. Cartnarks. Cartnarks. That's what it is. That's pretty funny. Same vibe. It's like these people are getting so mad and they're like, get out of my way. And he's just like, just put your cart back. We'll be good. We'll be good here. And he's putting magnets on their car that say like,

I don't even know. All kinds of stuff. And it's the same thing. So I thought you were going to say that they're paying people 20% to catch people doing bad shit. But they're just catching people trying to take the easy route. So I don't mind it. Yeah, but they still got to pay a ticket. Yeah. Yeah, because they...

they technically did something wrong. Yeah, I guess they are parking in the bike lane. That could be kind of annoying. So anyone who's familiar with dystopian future type of things, that's got to be somewhere along the progress line. That's true. When you turn people against themselves to help the government, that's got to be in there. Yeah, that's very true. Yeah, you would think. And I wasn't thinking about

turning people against themselves for the help of the government, but that's exactly what that is. Evan's like, what's wrong with being a rat? Oh my God. Evan moves to New York. Evan shares a few video ideas with people he maybe shouldn't have that didn't ruin a whole lot, and now he's forever known as a knock. We should pull up a clip of Carton Arcs. That shit's funny. Yeah.

Look at you, Ken. Jiminy Christmas. I think it's kind of funny being a narc if it's lighthearted like this. There's really no consequence. Well, that's kind of why I use this as an example because it truly is one of those things. Unless you're physically incapable and handicapped, just put your cart back.

It seems fake. Uh-uh. I get a kid.

Oh, is there a death or something? Do you pee on the seat when you use a public restroom? Cause they pay people. That's the same idea. Gotcha.

And don't listen to music while you're in your car, that's not safe and it's against what kind of car was that What do we got here? Magnets on their car they back your car here for you

I will if you take your card back. Would you like to do that for me? Knock what off? Be a responsible person? That's okay. It's for you. See, he's got our phone number on it. You can call. Because you're bothering people by blocking the spot. You understand the correlation, madam. You started this shit, ma'am. All I did was ask you. But, ma'am, what you're doing? I got more.

He's gotta be in Florida. It's in Naples, Florida. Oh, yeah. Dude, just got slapped. Holy crap, she's mad. Why doesn't she just drive away?

That's my favorite part so many people are like I'm in a hurry I gotta go and they're like okay just put your cart back. I'm not gonna near you Two minutes are we got this lady's going intense? Do you throw trash on the ground they pay people to pick that up - what a garbage man for

Dude. Man, he had to have just unlocked something just hidden in there. In this lady. Yeah. But I think that's what I mean. Like, he unlocks that out of a lot of people. This guy must have been like a former cart boy that had to go and get him. Yeah. You know what I love most about this guy is that he's acting very Karen-ish by going up and basically telling people,

No, but then hard away. And then he brings the Karen out of not being a Karen. It's like two Karens going at each other. And then pretty soon he looks pretty normal. He's like, well, he said wasn't even out alive. The way that he came up kind of reminds me of that, that police officer that isn't a police officer.

that gets superheated, but it's not his job. So he's kind of got the same, it's not my job, but I'm going to just go up and do it anyway. We should do this for a bit. That'd be a hilarious bit, dude. He's got a playful attitude with it, which is kind of what helps. It doesn't sound like he's going to be very playful. I like what Ben said. Him telling them to put their cart back is a Karen move, but he's not a Karen. He's just very civil about it and just pushes back lightly.

But he's not a Karen. We can't do this. This would be a great bit. Yeah, this would be good. When you put a magnet on someone's car, can you get in trouble though? I'd be fucking pissed. We know Ken would be pissed if someone put a magnet on his car. But if someone did that on my GTR, I'd be like,

don't fucking touch my car yeah i wonder if carton arcs was a thing before he was recording it let's go to the guy i wonder if he used to just do it without making a video of it just for the love of the game man i should i should make content out of this or if he was like this would be pretty funny and then started doing it you know like what came first the chicken or the egg here the

The cart or the narc? You know what's amazing? We gotta order some of these. So, Ken just skipped forward six minutes into the video and this guy's just getting heat like he's... Yeah, I'm trying to de-escalate. No, you're making a situation. No, you're escalating. I'm happy to leave. I don't want to make your job any harder. Just go ahead and walk away. I will. That'd be great. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. Thank you. Damn, this shit is dinged up too. You sure you don't want this?

Okay, he is more of an asshole than I remember. Dude, why is this the most Cali guy ever? Look at his pose. Cali lives in California. It does do him kind of dirty, though, because it's like...

You catch someone at the wrong time having a bad day and then one million people... Watch you freak out. Yeah, exactly. You know, it is kind of that... Like we talked about it on a couple podcasts back. You just... You're like pushing someone's buttons to hopefully get them to freak out at you. And that's...

And then they finally do. Something that you want. Yeah. Yeah. That's where it could get a little loose. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder what. It's fucking funny. I'm not going to lie though. It's hilarious. But I wonder what ended up happening. Because that guy had to have seen that. You know. I know. I wonder what actually happened. It's got a million views, dude. One of his friends saw that, sent it to him. Here's your guy, right? And I mean, it's the same thing with like any prankster really. The video is going to get back to the person that gets pranked.

So it's like, if this guy is that pissed about it and he sues, well, I mean, yeah. How much ground does he have to stand on? Like where it goes? Cause dude,

I don't think that'd be worth getting sued over if the guy's that fucking mad. I love how he had a plug, though, for his lawyer. Even if you're going to win, dude, you still got to go to court and all that shit. This dude lawyered up just to tell people to bring their cards back. Well, yeah. Got him on retention. Yeah, seriously. Retainer? Retainer, sorry. So, yeah, I like wonder, and not just for him, but for other pranksters, too, because...

Like if you technically don't get permission to use the video footage of them, then they could come after you for even just that. Like I just wonder like what ends up happening. What? Didn't like Jake Paul get sued because he uses train horns by a train track or something like that? What was the story with that? No, he did it in like a...

I had like a grocery store, which to be fair, the reason why we were so careful when we did ours is like you had to be so far away from someone. It's loud. Like damage someone's ears or like imagine you gave someone a fucking heart attack. Yeah, you spook them. And basically he got sued, which also it's like there's a point where you're a dude like Jake Paul doing it. Everyone knows like, okay, he's got tons of money. I could get something out of him for this. Do you guys think that we could get good reactions doing that?

around here people are generally a lot more nice but in california or florida you got either crazy or you got psycho ass that's true i bet if you did it i bet you could i bet you would take five times they'd be like midwest mad about it'd be funny i bet you'd get at least one good one it isn't i'm trying to maybe do it in the in the warmer weather though just because otherwise they're just gonna be like get out of here close our door i'm trying to get out of the cold i feel like people would be more likely to literally just get in their car and drive away

Or even if you threw the sticker, they'd just be like, I'm not dealing with this. I'm leaving. But it is, there is something about being caught when you know you did something wrong. Like even if that guy 99% of the time puts his car back, but yeah, he has a bad day feeling lazy, doesn't put his car back and then gets caught. And like, you're embarrassed about it. I feel like that invokes a different reaction and people that really get some upset like that, you know?

And I'd say no matter what your mood is, the greatest success for us doing it or anyone is they don't want to put their cart back. No matter how they're freaking out, they could even be calm. But if they're staying around, talking to you, and not putting their cart back, that's what that guy's going for. I think it's the way you approach it, too. If you approach it like a dweeb, then they're just going to be pissed. But if you're just like, hey, dude, come on. You should put your cart back because...

And also people just really don't like those magnets on their car. Like they're about to leave. They're, they're all, it's all going to be like, that's the end of it. They're going to leave out of the parking lot and he throws the magnet on and then it's free. The magnet might be too far. Double revs it. If someone actually did put a magnet on my car, it's not like I'm going to go and fucking fight them. It's not worth it. You know? Yeah. Over a magnet that probably didn't really. Yeah. You're like, okay, I'm,

mad, but it's like, what am I really going to fucking do? That's the logical response. You get someone in the moment like that and then you never get the logical response. It's kind of how the...

hindsight's 2020 that's funny yeah it's another way to bring out new content yeah i wonder what these people go home and like tell their family or for their friends so well i got youtube today i was the victim of somebody's youtube prank it's like when we went and did the the uh shambo prank oh my god lady i got a when we were messing with the dudes over at kia

Remember our boy? I don't know if he still works there. We tried getting him to buy it. Alex went to go buy a Shia and she bought one from there and I had to go in there and they fucking recognized me. They did? Were they like, are you going to fuck with us? The manager like walked up and like had like a shit grin on his face like, you know,

you're not pulling a prank on us today, are you? And I was like, oh, no, no. And I was just like, God damn. And then, you know, he just ended up chatting to me. He's like, you still have that thing? And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, we do. And, you know, he was just kind of asking just general questions. He's like, so,

How did that start? Just the typical questions. He wasn't mad, but when he did that, I was like, oh, fuck. I'm just here trying to buy a car with my girlfriend right now. I should have asked him if Caleb was still there. Gave him the business. I don't think he's still there. After that, he was like, I'm over this shit. It was probably his first day, dude.

We roll in there with a fake Lamborghini and try trading it in on a Kia. And they were pretty chill about it. They were just like, dude, we cannot. The worst part was the mics were fucked up during that. Our prank mics have never worked. That's like an art in itself. Until we bought new ones. Yeah, and then those even kind of didn't work. Dude, pranking? I need to get back into it. I want to get back into the pranks.

That shit was funny. The thing that has been nice that we have been saying that I like, because I always, I've said it before, I get so nervous during pranking. Something about the messing with other people just ups the personal anxiety. But,

I do like that we've went away from pranking around people because they are like, like we've said, they're the innocent bystander that you're trying to get a reaction out of so you can take advantage of them. I always just feel like it's kind of like a one-sided, almost like a little bit of an immature. But if you can, if you can kind of do it in a way where the jokes on you and they're more so just like, this guy's a fucking idiot or they're just kind of like confused and it's like,

you're kind of the one that looks weird, but it's just like a funny situation overall. Then I think it's funny. But if you're like, you know, making someone mad and then have we had any videos like that? I was like for us, I never really ticked anyone off. We just like make funny situations where people are just like, I love when we do that. I love when we mic up. I love filming it. I usually say that cause I'm not very good at it, but I think the reason we don't do it is cause none of us are really good at it. And we all know who like, who is better at it. It's not really our style.

And it's not, but I still really enjoy doing it. It is funny. It's an adrenaline rush. It's different with anything. You can dirt bike, enduro, or you can supercross. There's different disciplines. Different disciplines in content, and one of those is live, true reaction. Not always pranking, but person to person. I want to see Evan and Ken prank someone. Like a duo of those two together.

This is about how it would go. I don't even want to see that. I do. That would be funny in itself. You guys could not even do that good and it'd be hilarious. Would you guys feel comfortable being like partners in crime in a Cartnark? Oh my God. Yeah. Both you guys are in the vest. Yeah, but oh my. Like we put Cartnark magnets on somebody's car and then like they come up and then they call in backup. One of them.

calls it back up. Yeah, and then Evan shows up. What's going on here? You're like a crone Vic in there. What if we set it up as Ken was the cart narc and Evan was the guy who didn't bring his cart back and then Evan and Ken dueled out a scenario and then the other people around were reacting to those two doing something. It'd be very difficult. That's

of people being around, but I like it. I think just as a skit, that'd be really funny. It's just hard to get people around in this area. Yeah. We gotta go to Fargo. Dude, I for some reason imagine like Evan's hair is getting super long. He's gotta take like a comb and part it right here and just grease the shit out of it both sides. Dude. You're backup. You're the manager. Backup carton arc, bro. It's hilarious. One is funny, but having a backup carton arc. You guys would make a great duo in that. I just know it.

Something I just had that came to mind before they do their prank. These two, we go to improv class, practice, train. And do we have those around here? We'll find one.

I don't care if we got to go to LA. Bring these two to Hollywood. We're doing it. I love that idea. I think that's a great idea. With an unlimited budget going to Hollywood to train these two just to go prank someone over in Cormorant. And then yeah, we're in the Central Market parking lot.

Just for a dumb prank? It's like five out of ten. They're still bad, but just like a tiny, tiny bit better. And at the end of the video, we chalk it up like, we're so proud of these two. Go check out the journey. They really accomplished something great today. I think that's a great idea. Yeah, no, I think... I do love the idea of an improv class too. For everyone. I think 2023 is...

We're going to do more pranks. And that's definitely, for everyone in this room, probably not going to be good. Yeah. It'll be funny, dude. I feel like pranks, the very few that we've done, it's kind of like going in to do reckless golfing.

You're really nervous because you're like, fuck, this is like kind of like you don't really know and whatever. It's like a different type of nervousness. But then as soon as you're in, once you do it, you're so happy. Like it feels so good when you like get it done because you're like, oh, my gosh, that was funny. Yeah. Or even midway through. I mean, I can't I can't speak. I don't have any grand to stand on here. But like once you're halfway into it, you're almost like.

having in your head you're silently here this is so perfect they're just like jonah and cheddar at the at the one car dealership for example like once you guys were about halfway in it and basically fully locked into your characters it was flawless yeah it was people still talk about that at the end of it though you like let's just say it goes wrong like you can just like be like

Sorry. Just walk away. And then they're just left confused. Remember that time we pranked that guy down the road with the lawnmower? That you were a professional lawnmower racer? And I was your mechanic? Literally lives in the neighborhood. And he's like, you're Ben, you're CJ. Your dad's my chiropractor. I go to church with your parents. Probably. And then you guys just go, no. But we're like, yeah, it's on ESPN 12.

8 or whatever we just made up this thing and then you were in the back filming of the truck like it was tinted windows and then Ben just at the end of it goes hey by the way this is all just a prank for YouTube and we just hop in the truck and go we never show the video

Never show a mic, never show anything. And he was so confused. Well, we go, yeah, hey, you're on camera. This is for a YouTube video. We are the C-Boys because he was like, are you guys the C-Boys in the middle of it? And we're like, nah. All of that. And then at the end of it, though, we were like, yeah, you're being filmed over there. We point over there. Mike never hops out. So he didn't.

where he just pointed at the truck looks at the truck looks at the bushes looks at the tree and he's like we pulled out you were scratching his head like what just happened but like it was the weirdest conversation talking about taking his lawnmower and going 50 mile an hour and we buy the thing from him the only way i can drive it away have you guys ever had any moments where you've

thought to yourself like where's the camera like in normal life somebody randomly that you don't know like you look around you're like what is all the time whenever like something weird is happening i'm always like am i being set up is there a prank there can't you know i hear like a noise in my house at night i'm like yeah someone's pranking me for me it's like i i i hate that i do this to be honest but like me and cody and evan will always bullshit really funny scenarios and i

Every time I go, oh, that'd be such a funny skit. Why do I say that? I just can't. I'm like, oh, that'd be such a funny little video. That'd be such a funny TikTok. But I can't just appreciate the made up scenario in my head as it is. I can't. The only time I've ever really thought

or had one of those moments is remember last year when we were walking around DL or we were driving around DL and we saw the guy that was blindfolded. Oh, walking around town. We never showed a YouTube video. I don't know. We'll talk about it. Yeah, but it's just a weird. Yeah, but I have, I have all the video of him walking blindly across busy streets, uncontrolled intersections and through parking lots, stuff like that. And he's just blindfolded, just blinded.

How funny would it have been? Ryan was, I think, out of the truck filming with his iPhone sideways. And then imagine the cops pull up and we're just like, he's like, what's going on here, Ryan? I don't know. These two are making some kind of video. He just doesn't rope Ryan in with him. What if we, me and CJ, were behind it and we had the guy, there's Ryan standing there. We're like, Ryan, get in there, get in there. And the guy's walking across the intersection and he stops.

And he just turns, looks at Ryan, and just starts running after him. You can see the whole time. Yeah. Hilarious. You can see the whole time. The whole break. No, pretty much everything weird that ever happens, I'm always like, I am the joke. And then as soon as, no offense, guys, but as soon as I realize that CJ is also not behind it, I'm like, oh, there's nothing. Because you two and Ken are...

Usually, well, Ken can't keep it a secret, so I usually always find out before he ever tries to do anything. I never actually go through with anything. The few things that I do, I don't have to. Honestly, you guys just aren't big enough dicks to pick up and do a prank on one of us.

That's what I mean. The thoughts enter my head. I wouldn't say that they're not big enough dicks. What the fuck does that make me? A dick for making funny little bits? I guess it makes you a dick. In a way, we're constantly just trying to fuck with each other. And usually it's for the sake of the content. Yeah, I get that. Better good. Yeah, but they don't have the mindset of constantly messing with other people's ass.

I think if you can admit both things, if it's for the better, yes, it's still maybe a mean prank, and it's for the better good. Yeah. I like the better good. I'm so real with the saying of it. Oh, yeah. I don't know the real thing. I think it's greater good. The greater good. Oh, for the greater good. But I like better good.

I was thinking about this and obviously it's just an idea, but I want to get your guys's opinion on it. Do you think that we would ever do some kind of like live podcast or just some kind of show in general? A lot of YouTubers will go on tour and do kind of like a setup show or, or if they're comedians, they'll do like comedy shows and,

I don't really know what that would look like for us if it would be a live podcast or just like a show kind of like Danny Duncan does where you just set up and do like fun shit. Jump around. I don't even know what he does. We have like an hour long venue set up. Just a thousand people in there and we just get up on stage jumping around. I don't know what else we would do. Well, I mean...

A genuine answer is I think it'd be something in between that. It's really weird because I was just thinking about that literally last night. One of my favorite podcasts, Bad Friends, they do a live show. They go around. They basically do live podcasts. I'm sure they switch it up. And I go, man...

you know, so many people are doing tours. I was like, what does that look like for us? We've talked about that before, but like, and it does, it looks like a little bit of jumping around a little bit of like almost this. And then a little bit of, I think we just set up a bunch of stuff and then have Evan ski over it. Pull him in buying skis. He's a good skier. And I don't even think I'd pay for that. Our little skier. It's like, why am I skiing? Yeah.

We're on a stage. It's not even any snow. I think I could do so many other things. Skiing is definitely... You guys are very good at it, but it's definitely one of the more uncool things that you guys are good at. When you do something really cool on a dirt bike...

it's fucking cool or a snowmobile but on the skis there's something a little bit anticlimactic about it you have a little bit of an old head way of thinking about it and I used to be that way but like skiing's cool now but even like the snowboard too it's just hard to look cool skiing well yeah that's exactly my point like on skis you just don't look that cool I think we

gotten to the point where like if you're on a skateboard you'd look cool yeah but if we were to have a professional skier come out and do like what we were doing in the last video but they are like professional and can do it I mean it's just the same thing as like getting on a dirt bike track us going around it

it's not that cool, obviously. And then we get a really good rider out there, makes it a lot more entertaining to watch. Same situation with skiing. And full transparency, I was blowing away at the shit you guys are doing on the skis. I did not expect that. Especially the smart car, that was...

to watch in person and I've watched a lot of unbelievable stuff but I did not expect that. You guys were fucking high. Yeah, it's insanely high. It's like 15 feet up there. I think it's really cool that Evan is such a good skier. Obviously, he's really talented at everything but like it's always interesting to find

that you're interested in or you watch do something and like all these people are like, oh, Evan's a dirt biker and a snowmobiler and all these different things. It's like very badass things. And then you find out that he's also very talented at skiing. You might not even be that interested in skiing, but it's like, damn, this is like a...

He's pretty well-rounded at just being really good at a lot of things. Or if you're a really good skier and you really like watching Evan, and then all of a sudden he's throwing that down, your day is made. You see one of your favorites. We should go urban skiing. Imagine you're in town, there's some stairs, and you fucking went down it. I mean, that'd be hilarious. You don't mean hitting the rails. I'm talking like you're in town, and there's some stairs you go down.

I like that. And like people are like having to get out of the way. It'd be funny. I'm pretty sure Jackass did that like back on their TV show. Yeah. They did urban kayaking, but imagine the skiing version. I don't know if we got enough state. We'd have to go somewhere. It might be too short notice being that the video goes out tomorrow. We should go to Duluth tonight. Urban skiing. So when we go to Duluth next week.

I don't know if you guys want to do it, but that'd be fucking funny. That'd be pretty funny. And you're wearing like your skiing get up and you're very serious. And we're like shutting stuff down. Like, hey, whoa, whoa, we got...

No tricks. Just going down shit. Just going down it. You're just like guaranteed to eat shit and it's going to hurt so bad. It would be funny though because there's something funny about when you got those skis attached and you're just like, they're like in the air and shit. I can imagine you would think that's really funny. DJ loves this idea because he goes, yep, I'm going to hold the camera. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to stand. That's why I said I was like, maybe you guys don't want to do it. That shit would be funny. Yeah, no, I totally would but I forgot my skis at home. Yeah.

It's very similar to being good at wake surfing. It's just super anticlimactic to watch. I'd say it's probably very similar to that. Maybe you'd have to compare that to wakeboarding at least. Wakeboarding is a little bit more... It's just random. I've had this in my notes forever, but how much...

badass wakeboarding is than wake surfing. But I mean like it's like oh cool you're really good at wake surfing that's cool that's cool and then someone does like a fat backflip on a wakeboard and you're just like that's the coolest thing on water I've ever seen. Now that you say that honestly our skiing bit in the last video was probably the equivalent to having a wake surfing bit or you

you know a wakeboarding bit like it's kind of a niche thing it's a little bit of a niche thing that it was great i thought well i had one of the most fun times ever doing it you guys are all having a blast evan didn't want to stop he was having so much fun yeah we have fun dude evan and i were uh chatting about it last night like he's like i really really really want to try front flipping off the smart car i know i can and and he said dude i'm

I'm going to lose sleep over it tonight. And I lost a little bit of sleep over it last night. Imagining you front flipping off that. Just the way it is right now? You think you could front flip off that?

Yeah, I didn't want to open the can where I didn't even say anything. And it was cold out today, and I really didn't want to wipe out today. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's so beyond. So beyond possible, bro. That'd be so sick if you did. Imagine that. That'd be so sick. That's what we were saying, just the clip alone. When Adam was here, we should have done, we should have had like a snow cross jump built for him to do that. What you guys did on skis. Yeah. Yeah.

That would be insane. No, you would just have to clear it. Keep the smart car up there and then the spring when it's dirt again, build the jump a little higher and step a pit bike up on top of there. That'd be fucking ridiculous. Probably not. I'd rather do a pit bike. Yeah, I think the big bike would be too long because you wouldn't...

You are so high when you're on top of the smart car on top of the van. The van is high, but then the smart car on top is really high. It's like a second-story balcony. It's lifted. You guys are at least 12, 15 feet up there. I was stoked to see you guys conquer that. That's never been done. We always talk about, what if we jumped on top of the smart car and then it finally happened? It just felt like full circle. I love that the vid's

have turned into showcasing other very talented athletes doing the exact same thing that we're doing because we're not like trying to be like, we're not trying to be like, we are the show, but instead we are like,

No, we provide the entertainment side where these people provide, I guess I should say the platform, but more along the lines of like environment and environment. Yeah. To make something like that. And then these people can show up and just do what they do best. And then we showcase it.

their talents. Dude, it's like time. And so people see it and they get exposed to millions of people that they normally not have that bends over, like promote, like to, I don't know, an athlete. Oh, I'm a promoter, fun promoter. Call, give me a call. Pretty much, dude. Yeah. It's just fun. It just adds to the element of just making these videos better and better. You know,

You know, because there's just like so many levels to it. And luckily, we're kind of in like a position and mostly just like the connections that we've made over the years of getting these people to come out and really showcase their talents.

And have it be worth their time. Yeah. Yeah. It's extraordinary to watch them do things like that. Like things that you may see, let's say like the jet ski, you see a million jet ski backflip videos on Facebook. When you watch that right there and film it the way that we like to film videos, it's so, so cool to be a part of that. And then you have, you know, snow cross riders like Adam, who's like not always hitting the biggest jumps, but he's hitting them fast and he's racing next to people. And then he's like, yeah, let's go out here. Let's build some,

giant jumps. I want to throw some whips off of this. You know, it's just really cool. I like the way you said that. I like the way you said filmed in our style. And that's something that I love that we can keep doing is

not doing the same thing over and over again but the sports are never gonna die per se like so we film the sports in our own way and the activities in our own way and then next year we film them in our own way again but it's different that's what i love like did you have a video mike i did i did it's a pretty random video but uh speaking of ai we'll probably be talking about this from here on out as far as the future goes like ai is definitely living with us and

they created an 80s style sitcom, like real life Family Guy. And it just blows my mind. Like none of these people are real. This is just Family Guy characters made to look like real people. So go ahead and roll it, Ken. That's Peter Griffin. Love and tradition of the grand design.

I feel like Lois is hotter in the cartoon. Really? I thought completely opposite. Meg looks like that cop that got caught with the five guys. And then I'm like, damn, Stewie just looks like a normal baby. Brian's a damn yellow retriever. Wait, so AI? Okay, pause it. Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking? Ken and Evan are getting excited. They are moving fast. They're only getting more smarter and more advanced, guys. Yeah.

They're already writing TV shows that have already been written, but making them live action. How long till they can 3D print their own penis or robot dicks? How long till they come walking in here right now with a puff stick or whatever the hell you call your things? Just dangling. Seriously, how long? Is that a puff stick? Or are you just excited to see me? Both. Both.

okay hold up so ai just made all this yeah this is basically i mean it just it's just like intro scenes but like none of those people are real so what they did was give the ai the family guy like uh synopsis basically and some scripts and character descriptions and stuff like that and this is what it made and it said make family guy and then gave information about it into an 80s sitcom and it created all of that wow and

And some of my favorite parts about the AI thing is that, so if it said, make Ben into a cartoon, well, all you do is take a picture of Ben and it would take about four seconds, you know, loading bar. That's all it takes to make that? No, no. Oh. And then I saw someone making a song. They said, make...

this song sounds like this band made it, but also about this. And it made it, but it took three hours to render. Oh, interesting. It's just really interesting. Based on the information you give it, yeah, it just works. But it's just cool. Some of them take four seconds. Some of them take

Pretty much everything that I've had any experience with, it's been almost instantly. Yeah. And that's what I thought is so crazy. Like, yeah, you could say, all right, can write a three page letter in the style of Mozart or,

Or in the style of the Bible. And it would take him days. Yeah, and he'd be like, all right, I'm going to work on that. Say Ken's a writer. But you just give it to the AI and you're like, write the Bible in soliloquy or something like that. And it was like, do it in 20 minutes. It's crazy. You guys remember chat GPT? Yes. Which I was showing you pretty much exactly what you were just explaining right now. So get this. Chat GPT has now passed a Wharton MBA exam, the bar exam.

and a U.S. medical license examination. Wow. It's like it's passing and doing all these like exams that you need to become a professional lawyer, a professional doctor, etc.

Like that's crazy. Just nearing the point where it can pull unlimited information in the smallest amount of time. Yeah. You know, that's what I mean. It didn't take, uh, 22 years of, or 25 years of studying law to get there. It did it in. I love that. So it was, how do you know? And AI is defending you.

How do you know if that information is... That's becoming a thing. Look that up. I know. I've seen. I forget what it's called, but I've seen that. There's been a trial that was represented like the defendant was represented by a robot.

Oh my gosh. They either said it's going to happen or it did happen. The interesting part about that is that a lawyer can be most powerful when they know. Obviously, they have to do two things, personality persuasion, and they can also be most powerful when they know everything, every law and every book and every clause and every stuff you know it. You would think that it would be for situations that the county prosecutor...

is like representing a murderer. Yeah, they just need to know. Where they're like, well, I mean, he clearly did it. I always wonder how these prosecutors do that knowing that they're, whoever they're representing is guilty. Yeah. Because you got to like set, like, you know,

emotions and any bias completely aside and just go off of facts you have to just go off of evidence and facts and that's like might be what these robots are doing you know that would make the most sense totally like they don't have emotions yeah so so this thing is called do not pay and it's the world's first robot lawyer and it's there's so many different things that you can just have it do

Such as? Fight medical fraud. Fight bank fees. Fight and waive fees. Interesting. Cancel anything. They can get on the phone with a company and cancel shit. It's called Do Not Pay. Can it fight my high school bully? In court. I feel like we are in...

Like this is something that we're living the future right now. You know, you always think you ever see those videos of like the today show trying to explain the internet and they're like, yeah, everybody go try getting on the internet at www dot, you know, like make sure you type www. Yeah. And that's how people are going to look back about us. Well, they won't look back on us, but how we talk about it like this, you know, like, yeah.

they're just like man they just did not get it those they were so dumb back then but it's like we didn't know you know sorry yeah we knew we were stupid no trent trent our buddy trent sent a video of that exact situation being like what even is the internet and like explaining the internet back in 94 or something like that and was like this is like so funny to look back at and i was like i'd imagine we're gonna be looking back at like half the shit we said and be like man

It's crazy. We just didn't get it. It is crazy though because just with the way that the world moves, it doesn't feel like it's happening fast in the moment because there's never like a boom. Now this is here. Everything's just like such an ease and like a slow build up or integration that you don't even most time think much of it. You don't realize it until you look back and you're like, whoa, like

you know we used to not have internet on our phones you know it's like slow but it's fast because i think everything's coming at us so fast that we it's everything's like beta where we're like wow i'm not surprised that's happening now we'll see how it unfolds like ai speaking of bringing things back from the past this is probably the last thing we'll talk about on here but uh you guys ever played golden eye on the nintendo 64 i did like a legendary game they're

They're bringing it back to the future and you can play it on Xbox now. Dude, it was the same old golden. It's not redone or anything. It was like one of the first, it was probably the first, uh, like role playing shooter game I ever played. And it legitimately looked like Minecraft, you know, not boxes, but like it was so bad quality that I, yeah, I love that game. I keep getting served Nintendo 64 is on my Facebook marketplace.

It's really weird, like refurbished or just like a Nintendo 64 for like $150. So they're going for quite a bit of money. I've been thinking about picking one up, but like when am I going to play that? At least it'll never have to update. You have to be corded so you're like really close to your TV just like back in the day. But yeah, it would be cool though. So when I saw that, I was like, that's pretty sick. That is cool. That was legendary. No, I'll leave us on one last note. I mean, it's kind of a big idea, but it was such a good transition off of like what we were...

So technology moves fast. We all know that it's exponentially moving fast. So I've brought this up before, but old people homes are kind of depressing right now in this day and age, these generations, they are depressing. So it's like, because technology,

We're on the last generation, I think, of elderly people not being in touch with technology, right? When we're in manors and old people homes and stuff, it's way different. I'm going to want to play video games if I'm capable of it.

I think a lot of people are going to want to play video games, but that's not just like anything. You're going to want to, whatever you do to pass your time, watch YouTube videos, even as far as learn apps that help you play the guitar or anything. But right now, there's nothing. They just watch TV, eat food, and read the paper. Bingo. And bingo. I mean, there's stuff they do. There's plenty of stuff, but not what we have to do. When you ask someone that age, what do you do for fun? They're like, oh, read

the paper. Yeah, we play bingo. Imagine the old times. So I think you could get ahead of yourself, uh,

um and make an old what is it assisted living whatever you could make an assisted living home lit but not like super lit like oh yeah we're gonna have dance parties no you just make it new age this is for people that have that have grown up and they know how to access technology and they have like or maybe it wouldn't work at all maybe they'd still be like nah i'm senile this is a little bit off topic but you know what that reminds me of is i always wondered on myself

Let's just use my Ford Raptor as an example. What is my Ford Raptor going to be like in 30 years? I also wonder that. Because it's like this touchscreen and the technology. And technology gets outdated so quick. Whereas a 1996 Ford Ranger is just fine. Everything works because it's very simple in that respect. But what's going to happen with these screens and technology and even boats? It's like...

stuff gets so outdated so quick and it almost like stops working. And I don't know. So I feel like a lot of these vehicles won't be usable. I saw this. I saw a comment. I mean, I've thought that same thought so many times. I saw this comment when Toyota built their, that's not the 4Runner, it's the bigger one. Sequoia. They have their new Sequoia that just came out. It's the highest trim one you could get in the sky. Taking a video of it, I'm like, wow, this thing is nice. I've never seen anything quite like that out of a Toyota. Same for the new Tundra's.

I've never seen anything quite like that. And someone comments, Toyota learns how to build the cars to last longer than the luxury things they put in them. Or then they put the luxury things in them. And I'm like, okay, that is accurate or has to be accurate because they kind of do. They make their cars last long. And my BMW has, it's a 2006, sits most of the time. So you get that. Has like 85,000 miles on it. It's like falling apart just from the weather, just from...

Existing. I'm like, what the, like, make your, yeah, you make the features and make the product last longer than the engine and stuff. Yeah, my dad has a Toyota, or he got a Toyota Sequoia in 2003. Bulletproof. Still has it. We even sometimes borrow it. Like, we've used it to pull a trailer up to Akeley and stuff. Could still be used as a family rig today. Still drives it around all the time. It fires up. Everything works. It's actually really amazing. It's got, you know,

I don't know, 250,000 miles on it. And that thing's a tank. Yeah. I wonder that too, though, with all the more bells and whistles, like what does our Ram look like? 25 years old. Yeah. Cause I mean, especially with how much, like, like doesn't matter, but like even like a newer, like they have problems with it now. It's like, you're going to be like my screen quit working. I can't use the radio. And you bring in, they go, Oh, we discontinued making that 75 years ago or 10 years ago or whatever. It's like, well, shit.

But I'm sure there'll be room for other companies now to like come in and make their own version to like replace it. Yeah. So obviously they'll probably work. I saw Porsche is doing a thing where you can retrofit your dash. And I mean, it's made by Porsche. It is a Porsche kit, not, you know, Alpine and you put it in, but it is a, it's a double din screen with dashes.

car play all the nice stuff all updated new uh climate controlled buttons so it looks like it's from that era but just a little bit more updated with a nice screen and it's made by porsche so i could see that happening where they're like yeah you almost have upfit kits like they do for planes and stuff like that they go okay we take the old technology out screw in the new technology good to go

I feel like Porsche is the only company that's going to do that, though. Your Toyota Camry, they're not going to do that. It's a disposable car. Also, I love that, but that's almost opposite of what we're talking about. Correct. But we're worried about those new features. I mean, like the headlights in my BMW. They turn when you turn. They don't work anymore. How do I get them to work again? I don't know. I think that a lot of these manufacturers...

put technology in it knowing that it's going to be outdated in 10 years hoping that they buy a new one. Realistically, they don't care once you buy the car if the value of it plummets. To an extent, yeah. They probably don't. To an extent. Because I mean, yeah. I mean, like, they already made their money. They're not making any more money on it after you... Like, I think Subaru, I know for a fact, takes pride in their resale. And how they last. Yeah. But,

But yeah, it's true. It is interesting though, because a lot of the like high end manufacturers and brands, they don't necessarily like lean on technology as much as, as like the masses do like, you know, Ford Chevy or Dodge are pretty heavy in technology versus like,

Even Porsches, Lambos, Bugattis, just those three, for example. I don't know if any of those threes really have screens in them. Like my car doesn't have a screen in it. Timelessness is a factor in their vehicle making versus a consumer vehicle. Yeah. Which always, yeah, blew my mind. When I saw a Bugatti and I saw the interior of a Bugatti that was like brand new basically. And I was like, why does it look like that? And then they said, well, they're trying to make it timeless. I'm like, okay.

I respect it. It makes sense. It is a little weird now I think about it. Like your Lambo doesn't have a bigger screen there. And same with like the R8. Same with the Bugattis. Nothing crazy. Because it's like the standard almost, but they didn't do it there. That's what dates the car the fastest. Yeah. That's basically what we've been saying the whole thing. Bugatti doesn't have a screen because then it's a timeless piece of art that like the font isn't going to make it dated. Yeah. Yeah. Even that.

That's a good point, Ken. It makes complete sense, yeah. So why when you hop in our Ford Ranger that doesn't have a single screen on it? That's why it's so timeless. Now this is nice. The only thing that truly dates the Ranger is the pattern on the seat. It's a very 90s pattern. Yeah. Other than that. Just wait another couple years, it'll come back around. They got to bring the Ford Ranger's

Obviously, they're making them now. It'd be sweet if they brought back the early 2000s, late 90s body style. I don't know what generation that is, but they're just something about beautiful. They're smaller. The new Ford Rangers are almost in between. Getting a little too big. Wait, you know how they do resto mods? You can buy old Camaros and you put them on.

Or you buy a new Camaro, you put the old body on top of it so it drives like a new Camaro? Yeah. What if they start doing that with Rangers? That'd be sick. That'd be smart of them. You put a nice drivetrain underneath it. Then you get a gold Ranger. You got a Restomod. It's a Ranger. Million dollar idea right there.

Dude, I love that idea. I love that we started this podcast out talking about The Bachelor and then we end on Rangers and cars and technology. It just makes me think of in the last podcast, there was a comment that said, man, you just never know what they're going to talk about next. And I just thought it was so funny from just like the random shit we do talk about, but
