Alrighty guys, welcome back to a very special edition of the LifeWide Open Podcast. And you may be asking, why is it a special edition? I am. I'm asking. I'm asking that as well. It's just going to be posted the day before my birthday. It's really not that special. Oh, okay. Yeah. Pretty big day, huh? No, you're right about it not being that special. At least you guys can do a separate...
You could celebrate with me. Go to your birthday party. I just don't want you hyping up these guys. Dude, your 26th birthday is a big deal. What day is it on? I would assume a Wednesday. Not bad. I'll celebrate with you. Okay, sweet. Happy birthday, Ryan. Thanks, guys. Thanks. I appreciate that. It was just me that said it. And CJ said he'd celebrate with me. Mike's not coming, though. Did you guys see...
Mr. Beast's failed video on TikTok? No. So he apparently was going to do one of those like where you go to a supermarket and then you pay for everybody's stuff while they're there. And so the supermarket leaked it.
So the supermarket was full of people and they were all loading their shit up because they knew that Mr. Beast would pay for all this stuff. And so they actually, Mr. Beast didn't even come because of security issues. But I mean, I'm sure it's probably such a shit show to film if the whole thing was already packed. Why would they leak that? I don't know. They totally blew it. You think that Mr. Beast would just be like, hey, just maybe don't mention this. Otherwise, like...
10,000 people are probably going to show up. I'm sure it was one worker, you know, like that's all I would take is one worker. And then the whole thing, but they definitely like ruined it in the process. Yeah. And I don't think other grocery stores and whatnot are going to make that mistake again. I just like watching the video and watching all the people and,
Maybe someone looked like they needed help, but they're loading in like one dude was pushing around a cart of like 50 steaks. So they grabbed the meat market and threw it in his cart. And I don't know. Something's always rubbed me the wrong way about that. They take advantage. You're buying shit you wouldn't even buy. Steve would start buying like four TVs. I'm like, bro. Yeah. I think Mr. B's talked about that. He's like, yeah, you see a kid checking out. He's buying like four Xboxes.
It's like such an odd human trait that when you get something like given to you that you want more of it. It's like when people have the honor system of putting candy out on their front doorstep for Halloween and then kids will come and just like grab the whole entire bucket in there. Dude. But to be fair, those are children. Like do you do that, Mike?
No, I just had a little... I didn't. That was the best. No, I didn't. I was very... I went to one of them first. We're on the page. I was respectful of that. Take one. Maybe two. Maybe two. But there's a bunch of memes going around. Just a little side note on the whole leave the candy bowl out. And it's like it was a bowl of guns. Please, only one gun per kid. You know, a bowl of just like...
a case of beers or anything please only one per kid so funny speaking of mr beast isn't it insane the magnitude of the businesses that he's building like have you guys seen so he just opened up uh mr beast burger like the first like physical location did you guys see them like the meetup in the mall or wasn't that like the whole mall basically the whole people like multiple floors yeah like an insane amount of people i think they came out and
and said that they did $100 million in Beast Burger last year. Burgers? Yeah. Who sold that many cheeseburgers? Well, that's the thing about the food industry or the drink industry. They're going to just continue to buy and buy and buy. Can you break down what the Beast Burger is again? I'm not even super familiar, right? Because there was no brick-and-mortar stores up until this first one. Yeah, I think there was a couple thousand orders just through Grubhub, Uber Eats, and then basically if...
People wanted, and they have a mom and pop restaurant. They could sign up for Beast Burger on that. They would send the ingredients. They would get the recipes, and then they could just deliver it. They were doing an insane amount. I think they got to keep most of the revenue. Were they allowed to sell those Beast Burgers in person, or it had to be DoorDash? I think it has to be through DoorDash. It's like part of the ghost kitchen thing. There used to be all those kitchens that took off.
I think it was like during COVID. But they would have just like kitchens, no restaurants, and they would just be shipping DoorDash. I'm sure there's a bunch of regulations about it now, but I remember when it first started, it was pretty loose. I mean, I heard stories of people legit getting the ingredients somehow and just making them at their house and stuff. I'm sure that happened a little bit. How do you do quality control on that many restaurants? That's true. It's like if someone can get their hands on the ingredients, they basically can get their hands on the profits. Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I suppose. But yeah, that's just one of them though. It seems like he has a successful business popping up ever.
every, at least every year. He does, but it seems like there's so many different YouTubers creating massive businesses right now. So like Logan Paul and his prime drink. So we just got like the prime, prime drinks came to the corn run stores of all places. I was surprised. So, so we, uh, like had our first drink of that, which is pretty cool. Cause like you see it on the internet and then, you know, they're all promoting it. And that was the first time I've seen it in,
In Minnesota. Up north. That's why I was surprised. I think he is in some Walmart. I don't know how the C-Store. The C-Store comes through with it. Trying it for the first time. It's really good. It's really good stuff. It has to be. If it was shit, he'd be in trouble. This is terrible. Even if it was just average. It's got to be good. Remember when Travis Scott made a drink?
It fizzled out really fast. It was really bad, I heard. From all angles, everyone's like, yeah, it sucks. Then it just immediately dissipated. It wasn't working. It's just funny. You think you're sitting down at the taste meeting and you're like, this isn't that good. Fuck it, run it. You can market it. Guys like that, how many celebrities have alcohol
Like all of them. They have like a whiskey or whatever. How many of them actually go there and sit down and go like, this is good, but how can we make it better? And this and that, or do they just go, Hey, listen,
Travis, we're going to give you 40% of the profits if you let us put your name on this drink and you endorse it. Nagle, great. Yeah, there's a lot of that. I'd assume most of them. I think the thing about the artist having their own
brand that they just put their name on is like they're the musicians first right but like youtubers most youtubers are like business people first and then or you know it might not start that way but yeah it might not start that way yeah you start as a creator but then eventually you know it all turns into a business so then if you're starting a business like you can't just kind of like half-ass that yeah either a creator of
videos or creator of art or creator of business i feel like that's the direction like i feel like that's how your mind has to operate to do this because you just constantly have to be worrying about multiple things and like growing and looking at it different ways 100 you know who i look up to a lot as a i guess businessman at this point jimmy buffett dude the guy like margaritaville that's
That's true. Like, you know how many Margaritavilles there are? I mean, I actually have no idea. But I think there's like 50 and there's Margaritaville, you know, like senior frog vibes if you guys have ever been to one. But you got like your standalone restaurants, but then he's got Jimmy Buffett Resorts Hotel and like, yeah, it's a full blown. Yeah, he's building like this thing in Fort Myers Beach where I've gone and it's like huge. It's like three or four city blocks. They just like completely tore down. And to be able to do that in the mecca of any...
Yeah. It's just insane. And like the fact that he, that's just Margaritaville. Like think of all the music. Like he's got his own station on XM. But also my, my parents were pretty big. What are they called? Parrot heads. I did not know that. Yeah. That's like their thing. They used to like travel around and go to all those concerts and stuff like that. Yeah. But Jimmy Buffett had some hardcore fans. Definitely. And he just, he was, he was a good musician. No,
I'm down Margaritaville. Yeah, Mike, that is actually a great example and it kind of just debunked my thesis on artists creating brands. But I wasn't trying to and also I feel like the transition time between Jimmy Buffett being like, all right, I think I'm ready to be mostly done being a musician and then Margaritaville being what it is. Also, 50 Cent owns Vitamin Water.
Says another artist and another brand. I didn't know that. But did he start vitamin water? I don't know. I kind of shot from the hip on that one just thinking of Travis Scott. I think it boils down to if you care and you're passionate about it. If you care about it, you can make it good. Yeah. And lastly, there is a difference between them coming to you and be like, can we put your name on it? And you going, I want to start a drink brand. That's where it really is different, right? Or if you care if it's good or not. If you just go, yes, I'll take the bag. Yeah.
I think that Happy Dad, which is Nelk's, Nelk's, Heart Seltzer, Prime, and then Beast Burger or Feastables, those are all going to be huge, huge, huge brands though. Yeah, like household. 100%, yeah. They damn near are. Yeah, they practically are already. It is cool to see because even still much, much less now,
But the term YouTuber can come with a little bit of like negative connotation. Yeah. I feel like they downplayed a lot. Like when we were watching the Jake Paul fight, they're like, you're not just a YouTuber anymore. I'm like, yeah. I mean, he isn't just a YouTuber, but also like in, I was just like, I fucking love being a YouTuber. Why would you not want to be a YouTuber? This is the best. And there's lots of people that have like been wildly successful of it. So I think it's kind of cool to see also people like that, that definitely have a lot of power. Like,
a good name for the brand or the job title. Job title. Oh, did you know what? Mike's foot just touched my leg. You got scared. Are you trying to play footsie with him over there, Mike? I wasn't expecting. I was waiting for that question. My leg touches Ben's. What are you guys doing playing footsie? Yes, we're playing footsie. No.
over there. To be fair, I have a hair in my mouth, or at least I did. Now I can't find it. Oh, that's the worst. So if I've been acting a little weird over here, I literally have been trying to get this hair out of my mouth. I'm trying not to dig around my fingers because that's super obvious, but I can't seem to find it with my tongue. He's got three fingers in his mouth.
I think I might have swallowed it at this point. Carry on. Sorry. Dude, you know where I think the negative connotation on a YouTuber being a YouTuber as a profession...
Slightly comes from kids, like a magnitude of kids going, I want to be a YouTuber. What's wrong with that? It's like astronauts back when we were kids. Oh, fuck astronauts. From our point of view, yeah, there is nothing wrong with that. We're stoked to hear it. But from a parent who is not about it, and then they have to hear, let's say they have three kids and they all want to be YouTubers, they're like, duh.
Take something else. Be a banker or something. I think it actually comes from the negative news. Just part of it. There's bad things that a few people have made big mistakes, which...
roped in the rest of I think no it's mostly that I'm just thinking like of a new kind of a negative connotation is like a lot of parents hearing a lot of kids or teachers teachers get it a lot I don't think they're annoyed or like think it's a bad thing but if a teacher if half the class like says they want to be a YouTuber you're like drop out
Do it right now. They're in second grade. You won't. Most YouTubers are dropouts, so do it. Dude, yeah, they're like eight. You asked me what my dream was. That's like a South Park episode. Yeah, the teachers are super mean to the kids who say they want to be YouTubers. It is like a weird stat, like 75% of 12 to 18 year olds, like something crazy. You know, some kids might start saying podcaster though.
Yeah, seriously. Honestly, I would have probably put...
When I was a child, the podcast really didn't exist. So I'll put radio host. I would have put radio host like pretty far down on the list for sure. Dude, me and Ryan went on the radio show the other day with our boy Jay Thomas. He, what, what does he host? Uh, the Jay Thomas show. That's his radio show. And then he also has, and he has rides, which I watched on Sunday morning. Super. Yeah. But what, what, what is his like genre? Oh,
That's a good question. Right-sided men, probably middle-aged men, who like classic cars as well. I tell you what, this guy was born for it, though. Just sitting down and kind of just watching the behind the scenes of how radio goes. It was basically just like...
Me and you sitting here talking, having a conversation. But if you're not here, but I'm still having this conversation. Like when he's just talking to himself, but it was like he would answer his own questions like he would set it up like he was playing volleyball and then just spike it down. Yeah. And I was like just watching and like just amazed because obviously, you know, we've been doing podcasts for a while and it's it's not easy.
It's not easy to have a conversation with four people. For one person to just sit there and be entertaining, it was really impressive. That's usually all live, right? Yeah, and it's live. That's the whole of it. It makes way more stress, but it was hard because on this, we always try to go back and forth and keep an engaging conversation. I was like, okay, this is his show and he's just talking to himself, so I'm just going to let him do his thing. You're like, where do I jump in? Do I jump in? It was different, but
A true talent. I agree, especially like sports commentators. To be able to call what's going on, know the names of everyone, no matter what sport it is, know the moves, know what calls the refs are making or what disqualifications are happening, like all off the cuff, all trying to be funny too. Yeah. Man, there is so many just like interesting jobs too, especially... Okay, what about...
Bruce Buffer being like the voice. That guy's killing it, dude. He's still doing it, too. He makes a ton of money. How much of a legend do you have to be to just everyone wants you to introduce them for their... What's he charging? I wonder. See if you can look it up. Just saw the intro to this huge, huge EDM, like Excision's
thing like huge festival and he used him not in person but he had you know this like edited massive screen he makes 50 000 for per ufc fight and a hundred thousand for special ufc events wow and obviously 50 000 a week or whatever yeah like obviously he's doing more behind the scenes other than his six minutes of introducing the two people but that
That's a pretty good bag for being a legend. Did you guys watch the Andrew Schultz comedy special? He had an intro for that. Really? Yeah, so it's like a comedy special, but you got Bruce Buffer intro. That's what I love. He really makes it lit, though. That's pretty legendary. He makes it lit. It got me pumped up when they were starting it, and he just came out, no.
And now it's time. And the lights go short. Exactly. Whatever it is, whatever he's announcing before, you're just like, obviously this is going to be amazing. Or it just gets you in the mood for it to be. Yeah, you got to follow it up, though. If you're being introduced by Bruce Buffer, you better have some pretty funny jokes for a comedy special. Did you guys see all this stuff? Apparently...
I haven't looked into it that much. Hopefully you have. That the Jake Paul fight was rigged. Oh my God. They always say something. I think that's a classic case of bad news traveling faster than good news. But like,
Why is it rigged now? Oh, they said that for every single one he's ever done. And they always definitely not rigged some little thing. Like they make a move like this and then they go like that. And they're like, see, that was them like agreeing on what was going to happen. Such BS. I don't know. Honestly, I don't agree that it was completely rigged, but I was wondering if the judges were like, all right, Jake Paul is like boxing's gravy train. Hmm.
and he needs to win, so maybe just keep that in the back of your mind when you're scoring. I think it was pretty obvious that he won, though. Yeah, but it wasn't that obvious. I didn't think it was like, man, he dominated the fight, besides for the knockdown at the end, but even before that, he was in the lead, and it didn't really seem like he was dominating the
fight. They count like punches and like significant lands and also punches thrown in and like blocks and like they have this whole thing scoring. Oh yeah. No I know that but still I don't know it didn't seem like a blowout. If it were to be. I'm sure people also probably felt that way and then they saw that he kind of like he beat him up quite a bit like points wise and they were probably like it's rigged. I
I think actually like I saw that it might have been the president of the world boxing committee tweeted at Jake Paul and just said like great fight. Like, like he really like commended him for the fight. So, I mean, that guy tweets you, he must not have thought it was rigged or that he,
Didn't win. Or it's all part. Yeah. Jesus. Dude, did you guys see? It's all rigged. This is. WWE at this point. Side note, but our buddy Rich, Rich Stagram, Rich Stagram, who built our track, he was, he, he got like an invite from Jake, which is pretty legit. And he had, he got a suite with a couple of buddies. And he was down in the lock
with everybody and he was wearing a C-Boys TV LifeWide open shirt it was lit it was on Logan's story we were loving it I thought it was sweet but it's also super funny it pans past Jake and Logan and then Rich just standing there like this
That's the best thing about him and that anyone could take anything from him is like he literally like the most, the least clout chaser, just the most chill and he finds himself in those situations and then we're like, how did you, how do you do it? He's just like, I don't know, man, just chill. I mean, basically. He is a good guy. He just is a good guy. Next Jake Paul fight, Mike's in the locker room with him somehow. Just by himself. Mike, dude, how'd you get there? I don't know, just chill. Just chill.

This might be a better question for Ken, but he's not on the podcast. Did you guys see the whole Tesla battery scandal thing going on? Well, not really a scandal, but ordeal going on in Florida. What? Just in Florida? So basically, okay, so saltwater flooded these Teslas, and then the water went away, and these Teslas were covered in saltwater, and the salt...
Water obviously started corroding the battery. And these, these Teslas are starting on fire from the corrosion because the battery is corroding. And so I take it. People are trying to drive them after they've been flooded. I'm not necessarily sure, but there'll just be sitting there and they start on fire. And because it's a battery fire, they keep burning and keep burning. And like the fire department has to put like 1500 gallons of water to put out a Tesla because they, they have to just keep soaking it. But it's a,
I'm probably not the best person to explain this, but this is just what I saw. It just keeps burning. Now they have all these damaged cars in these lots and they have all the normal cars together and then the Tesla's have to be 50 feet or something like that apart from each car.
Oh, because they don't want to spread and start the whole lot on fire. Yeah. So how many is that happened to enough for it to be a pretty big news topic? Or is this like the U.S. Bank Bird Stadium killing machine? No, it's a real thing. It's happening. Yeah.
Something you never thought about. Elon apparently didn't think about it either. When you're driving in the winter. But it's happening to all the EV vehicles. Sorry. Okay. Well, I guess that makes sense. It's not just Tesla. It seems to be all the EVs. But what about in the winter here when you're driving on like a wet road and then there's salt on the road from the thing?
I think that the whole car was probably flooded. Yeah, pretty submerged. So that's how it would happen. It would take a lot. Shit, Ken. Yours was under that lake for a bit. Oh, yeah. We went back to Bowdoin. Yeah, Ken. Yeah, you said it wasn't. It wasn't. You want me to show you where it was? Yeah. Ken is still mad about it. I cannot believe that, to be honest. Ken thinks that Ryan told him...
What are you talking about? Hop in here, Ken. What are you talking about? It doesn't matter. No, no, no. Well, it seems like it does if you still add heated about it. Hold up. What? So long story short, we filmed the YouTube video where Ken tows my wakeboard boat with his Tesla. Ryan told him to keep backing in, keep backing in. And Ken claims that Ryan...
escorted him deeper into the water than he was supposed to go. But, and he claims that he backed in his car so deep that that's why his car ended up. I'm not saying that's why I was in the tow truck. What I'm saying is, you know, the bottom of the bumper is here and then there's an angle. There's like a 45 degree angle to the back wheel.
And there was water pouring out of that panel when I pulled the car out. Which it does the same thing when you wash it and then back it out of the driveway. But you were saying it wasn't in the water. It wasn't in the water. Okay, your tires were in the water. That's not in the water. So if the tires were in the water, that panel was in the water. So is it more important than just a plastic material?
panel well i don't know what's under there well what's under there i don't know the battery isn't under there motors the motor and everything's under there is no motor it's a battery what do you think moves the car uh no it's a it's a it's a motor it's an electric motor and it's a gasoline engine v8 owners tears i i'm just saying
I went there when I'm physically watching water come out of a panel because it was in the lake. Go run a garden hose over your car. Let me finish talking. And you're saying that, no, it wasn't in the water. I'm just like, don't fucking lie to me. It's like, it's not what, what game do you have to get out of this? Got a point, Ryan, you get off on line to Ken. It wasn't in the water. I agree. I don't, I'm just confused at the situation. Yeah.
I don't think it was in the water. I don't even think your back tires were hardly touching the water. If they were. If there was water coming out of this panel, where would this water have come from? I don't know, dude. It could have been space. Maybe the tires, like, scooped it into it. When we go outside, I will show you what I'm talking about. No, I know exactly where it is, and I...
I know exactly. I watched the water come out too. So obviously it was physically, yes, technically in the water, but it was not in the water any farther than it could have been. You know, like when your iPhone gets water damage and then you take the screen off and then there's like a little red dot on it. Is that what happened? I don't know.
I'm just saying it. Ken brings it in for the next maintenance. Water damage. We can't service this. Dude, that was the worst. When you were a kid and your iPod got wet, you were like, oh, I'll get a new one. Or your phone, the battery, and then you knew your SOL. All right, so to change the subject, get something off so hot. Ken, you know what pisses me off? Oh, boy. And I want to know what you have to say is when people come up
And they don't know the story of how you broke your neck or like that you have a broken neck. And maybe it's the first time that they, they've seen you and they go, they make some kind of backhanded like comment about, Oh, that's what happens when you're a seaboy. Huh? Or like, so, uh,
Have all of you guys broken your neck and then like laugh and then like... That's where the conversation ends for me and Ivan. Yeah. All right. See you later. Dude. Yeah. How often does that happen to you? I walk away. Not very often, actually. Oh, really? Okay. It must just be when I'm with you. Because it's probably happened with me and you like seven different times. Ken and I were out to eat. There's... He kept coming up to us and he goes, hey, you got to get a normal job. You guys got to get some normal jobs. And like...
Again, he was trying to be funny. And then we're just like, what? That wasn't a funny joke. We run into that guy all the time, though. And I'm like, I can stand about five minutes of him before I'm like, ah, fuck. How do I get away from you without being a total asshole? Once again, this is one of those things that we talk about on the podcast and
We are real people that live around other real people that might hear that. Right? No, probably definitely will. Maybe he'll learn. Just bleep out his job description and I'm good. Dude, yeah, it's not even me and I get annoyed. You honestly handle it pretty good. You do. Normally like, ah, yeah, I'm going to go sit down over here. Yeah. Just avoid my neck. I got to go like, oh, I'm going to go get a normal job over there. Also,
Also, Mike, why is this chair so fucked up? Mike, now you're messing up the chairs. You put it in the water. All right, you can hop back in, Mike, unless you'd like to stay, Ken. I can sit here for a little bit. There we go. You haven't been on in a minute. Ken, did you hear about the Tesla batteries exploding? I did. Really? Yeah, I told you guys.
It's like you throw any battery, damage any battery, it's going to start a fire and explode. It does kind of make sense. And I mean, I can't imagine being submerged in salt water is really good for anything. It's like every other car is toast there, so...
Especially those e-bikes. Well, the one e-bike that I had that I ran through the ocean and then returned back to the rental place. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they weren't too happy about that. No. Why is this thing have corrosion on it? We just bought these things before you took them away. I rinsed it off in the community shower after I did it. Yeah, you'd think that would do it. Yeah, man. Weird. Duh.
um did you guys see the mclaren p1 that was in the water in the flood water the dude literally just bought it like literally that week really do you think he just like left that there like why didn't he think no it was in the garage i know it was in his garage and somehow it floated outside yeah because it like literally got so much water everything floats out or like pushes through the house but still
Like we, when a, when a hail storm is coming, we go, Hmm, better get the cars inside. Like, wouldn't you assume that this giant storm coming at you? You're like, Hmm, I better get my million dollar car.
out of a flood zone but they thought the storm like the worst part of the storm was going to go further north and then it kind of veered south so it's like last second okay i've i've got all these cars the storm is going to hit me direct on i'm going to worry about myself before i worry about my my stuff because the stuff is probably insured at that point he still sat there and videotaped it but honestly he got great content it was hilarious yeah he did that and so that brings up do you think he did it on purpose he was like screw it dude it's
I think if you have a million dollar car even if you get insurance for that that's probably not going to be too good on your insurance. No I can't imagine the claim is very good. I can't imagine many people want to make a claim on a million dollar car. Two million dollars. That's like the one car I'd be like okay he probably custom ordered this he probably waited a couple years. Yeah to get it. There's either that's just total insurance fraud or it's just
Bad luck. His insurance is going to be through the roof, just like Evan. Just like Evan and Mike's. So I was thinking this week, what are the cars you guys think you'll buy next? I thought you were going somewhere with that again.
That was a good... No, that was a great... That was a great... Dude, I have literally no idea. No idea. And I just sold my Subaru, and now I don't have a daily... Actually, I don't even have a vehicle to drive this winter. I think... Actually, we covered it in the last one. I get the Ranger because Ryan got his bag from Coors. I think I'm in... Old trucks, like 80s, 90s diesel trucks are finally coming down in price because they went through this really weird...
Like kind of when all the, when the car market spiked for some reason, eighties and nineties trucks appreciated like they were made of gold, right?
And I'm sure all the people out there that like kind of keep up on those or like maybe own one and got lucky enough to sell it for four times what it was worth. They're finally starting to come back down. But I think it'd be so sick. I'm just like a clean OBS truck. I could see that, Ryan. Yeah. Just ripping around an old truck. Yeah. It'd be kind of fun. I could see in that. Just a good, loud diesel roll coal over all the electric car drivers in the neighborhood. So I've been watching Entourage. Oh. And like a 67. Great show.
uh what is it continental convertible like the one lincoln got shot in i could totally see you driving i was like that is the most badass car but people are like it's just a boat it's so cool but it's like the most complicated car they said like detroit ever manufactured in the 1960s and i was like oh that looks that sounds like a headache wait why is it complicated it does have suicide doors which is it's got suicide doors and it's convertible and it's like
The early version of electronics, and it's just... Interesting. It looks like a nightmare, and they're like 90 grand now. So I was like, fuck.
It's not worth it for a 60s car. That is actually crazy. You probably have to go look for something that's not like the most famous car from that era. But they look so cool. They do look cool. You want to know the problem with buying more cars? We don't have anywhere to put them. It's a weird problem to have. Nowhere. Just in the driveway, stacked up. And then when we do go to use them, they're
filthy and then we wash them off we find out that they sat outside baking in the sun and lost an entire hue color oh dude the shambo yeah we just got done filming the car tour video today which you guys already saw it already came out but it went from like a lime green to like a very very faint green we hadn't driven the the fake lamborghini in over a year i don't
I don't know why. We just didn't come around to it. Basically, we just had other things we were doing and filming and just time moves quick around here. And next thing you know, it was a full year. And I was like, all right. I think the only thing we did with that car this year was move it around and get it out of the way. That was it. Dude, that thing is a special kind of piece of shit. It is. Driving it today. Maybe it's time for us to let it go. Really? I don't know. If anyone wants to buy it, I honestly don't.
I just don't know if we might be done with it. What else do we have that we can do with it? I look around our shop at all the things that we're done with and we still are holding on to them.
Yeah, that's true. We are kind of hoarders in that way. But you never know when you might need something. That's true. And it's like not really worth that much money, but it did increase in value like every other exotic. Granted, it's not an exotic, but certain people think that it's worth something because that same car, I think we paid 22 grand for it. I saw on Facebook marketplace going for like 45. No way. Yeah, I think they're...
ours ain't going for 45 no i'm sorry definitely i'm sorry but if somebody's paying 45 grand for that they're dumb yeah i think so too yeah i'm sorry but that is a bad idea okay kid
Don't talk him out of it. We might sell this thing one day. Ken, you should daily drive ours. Get it back into shape. It needs to get its legs stretched. Stretch the legs. Dude, I tried to rev it up. I can't drive it because my legs are too long. I can't work the clutch and get it in between the steering wheel and the pedals. Dude, I revved it up today and it shot rusty water all over CJ's car.
Which I'm really sorry about. I looked back and saw I did it and I was like, fuck. I was watching you do it, but it was too late. And then I was like, should I just go wash it before he notices or do I tell him? It really wasn't that bad. I just wiped it off. Took some instant detailer. So we're flying out to SEMA tomorrow. You guys excited to see anything?
uh vegas i'm excited i'm excited to see vegas i'm excited to see all the cars at sima yeah initially i was more excited to go to vegas and do some gambling and stuff like that and then i kind of started seeing the pictures now that it's going on and now i'm pretty stoked to see mainly just the super cars yeah exactly so fun so funny you see such crazy stuff it's honestly inspiring because it makes me want to
Like do more car stuff. I feel like I've slightly kind of fallen out of it. And when I see that or when we do like a car tour video and I was like driving the Evo around, I was like, I fucking love cars. I felt embarrassed being after you guys and not having anything done to mine. I was like, damn, dude, I'm really slacking. I was really hoping my wheels would come, but next week too late. How much money are you guys going to bring?
to like gamble like what's your what's your limit here like five thousand two thousand five thousand i i think i don't want to lose five thousand no shit no one wants to lose a dollar but i feel like the amount of money you bring you obviously have to be with okay with completely losing yep that's what they said
Last time I brought $300. So I am. You also didn't even gamble last time. $300. I won anything in Vegas. I won $700 right away. And then I lost it all. So you've kind of grown gambling though. Like I have the, I'm a grown guy. So what are you going to, so what are you, you're bringing five cake on? I,
I now I think I'll bring less, but I think 10, we talked about this couple of weeks, 10, put five down on red. Jesus. 10. Yeah. Yeah, dude can do it. But the five is for the first and then either we'll have a great time. Oh, I thought we'd all agreed that like, we were going to walk into Vegas. All of us were going to put thousand on red right away. Don't even put our bags away. I'm down. I'm actually down. I want to do that. Are we doing it that, that fast?
Like legitimately we walk in and do it or are we just getting all fired up and then do it? If we can film it, I'm down. Sneaky film. Or would it be better if we just all individually did a thousand rather than all of us doing it all at once? What if like everyone, like someone stepped up? What would the odds be?
Rather than either all of us win or all of us lose, or just be a few of us win, a few of us lose. I feel like it's way more fun, though, if all of us win or lose. Yeah, you're right. It's all in this together. There's so much more suspense on the line. We've got to be in it together. I agree. Do you guys want to? I'm down. I think it'd be fun. If we can film it, it'd be great. Man, that'd really suck. If we can film it, I'm down. I feel like it's one of those things that it would be like either we're going up
poor world it's gonna be so electric really gonna set the tone oh man i'm nervous already i think we should i think that'd be a great way to start dude you got gambling advice from that guy at the bar what do you say okay yeah yeah so get this guys so we're uh halloween last weekend and we went out to the bar costume party having a good time ran into some uh my old timer buddies right made some friends
And I'm talking to him and I was like, yeah, we're going to Vegas this week. And this guy pulls out his wallet.
He gives me a hundred bucks. Chris Pondo. What? Yeah. Gives me a hundred bucks and goes, I didn't know he gave you a hundred bucks too. And he goes, all right, listen. And then he grabs a napkin and a pen and he starts writing down this bet in craps. That's the game. And he's like, all right, here's this, this, this, put the money here, here, here. First hundred bucks is on me. And if you win, you're going to win like 2,500 bucks. Whoa. And then he like, I was like, dude,
No way. And he was like, and if you lose, it's my hundred bucks. So have at it. And I was like, hell yeah. What's your phone number? I'm going to FaceTime you in and it's going to be electric. Wow. Yeah. So we'll see how that goes. Sammy. No.
If we want to do the same thing with that, no, I think we got to do roulette. Just put a thousand bucks. Boom, boom, boom. Yeah. And then, then we know whether we won or lost. Are we doing on red? I think red. I mean, red's our company. Red is our color. Yeah. Okay. All right. You're right. Now I'm all stoked on it. Before it was all like luck and stuff like that. But look how much red we have. Red, red,
Red. Our shipping containers. Red in the mug. Red in the Corvette. We got the Red Ranger, the Red Raptor. We're doing it. We're doing it. The update is either going to be so good or so bad. I might be able to sneak that in actually for later in this us winning or losing. It's just the next clip.
I'll see they're celebrating hard or like if we can't film it, I'm not down. If we can't film it, we just sneaky film it. I think you just pull out an iPhone and do it. Just do it. Don't even ask questions. Yeah, you're right. So I don't know. We'll see. Maybe I'll be able to sneak it in this podcast and then people will know that
watching it either we're really happy or we're really sad but I guess we have to live to see it powers of editing oh man this is gonna be electric ooh the suspense got me excited now same I'm such a degenerate it's giving me butterflies in my stomach so what do you guys think our worst video idea ever the worst video idea that we ever had that we filmed and did oh man we've had some real dumb ones this is gonna be tough extreme tennis oh
That was just a bad video in general. But it wasn't a bad idea. Yeah, it just didn't really go together. It wasn't edited right. It was almost like just doing stuff was kind of the thing. And then it was just like... I have a confession. We tried making it cool. What? That is, I think, the only C-Boys TV video I've never watched. You're not missing it. I don't know. I wasn't there and I'd never watched it.
No, it's funny, Ryan, because the one Seaboys TV video that I have never watched is the video of you and Micah going to Michigan. Aw. That was pretty good, dude. We were on a side-by-side blog, dude. You've never watched it? That's actually surprising. I never watched it. And then it just like a couple weeks passed, and I went, huh. It just slips by. I just, I don't know.
It was like right after like the Michael shit. And you just couldn't do it. And I was just like, eh. You don't want to watch it. And you guys still reference stuff that like you would expect me to know that I just don't know. And I just like have never really admitted that to you guys. So I just go along with it. Like last podcast when you guys were like, yeah, like when we caught those fish in Michigan. And CJ's like, yeah, that was crazy. And I was like, oh, shit.
Oh, yeah. That was crazy. Have you ever missed a video? Never. No. I watch every video probably three, four times. Actually, when I...
Your guys' snowmobile ones I'll maybe watch twice. But all the other ones, I've already watched the latest vid three, four times. I wish I could do that. I watch it probably two times a night. Same. Three. Same. Yeah, I'll watch it like four times. I watch it with you guys, then I go home and I watch it on my TV, and then I watch it again on my phone because I want to hear how the sound sounds. Actually, I never re-watched after we got done editing the video of Ken breaking his neck. That was tough. Same. I still haven't watched that video. I haven't watched that one.
I don't think I ever will. I wouldn't. Honestly, don't blame you. Maybe one day. That video actually got age-restricted, too. I don't know if we mentioned that. I think we did talk about it. Which, I mean, kind of makes sense, but also we still don't really know why it got age-restricted. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it was just maybe the promotion of danger, which we didn't really promote at all. It's just that he got hurt. That's what the problem was. Man, dumbest idea, though.
I wouldn't say the dumbest idea, but I'd say the most backlash we've ever had from a video is we had like a bunch of hot sauce and we had all of our girlfriends come over. Oh my gosh, dude. And we told our girlfriends like the last one standing to like finish all these hot sauces gets 500 bucks. Was it even that much money? I thought it was less. I think it was 500. And we thought, you know,
They would just slowly, one by one, drop off. We thought it would be quick. We thought it would be quick. And then next thing we know, these girls are eating these hot wings that should not be edible. No. Like so hot. Soaked in hot. And we're like, why don't you guys quit? And they're like, I need the money. Yeah, I want the 500 bucks. I want the 500 bucks. Yeah, they more so just want it for the most part. And then it got to the point where it was like,
really hard to watch. I don't know if we actually got any back. Yeah. No, people were pissed. Yeah. People were like super pissed about that. Like they were like more so annoyed that we like had our girlfriends on. I think maybe it was because like we like dangled money in their face. The thought of that, like, Oh, do this for money. I don't even know if it was that. I think they didn't like the girlfriends like being in it. Really? Yeah. I think they were just like, Hey, this is Steve boys TV. Who are these chicks? This is Steve boys TV.
This isn't seagulls. That was pretty dumb. Yeah, that one. I don't think that was that bad of an idea. It just didn't work. Yeah. That's true. There's maybe no bad ideas. It's bad execution. Some bad ideas for sure. I might... I think we need to go through and just unlist or private some of our old videos personally. Really? Some of them, I think. We could maybe. When you look back...
Like the ones where if you're just like, ah, that thing's cringe and it doesn't even get any views, like might as well just unlist it. Pretty much everything within the last two years has been really good. Basically, since we moved into the new shop, it has been amazing. Like I would say all those videos are really solid. You can watch any of those and they're all good.
Okay. This isn't maybe a bad idea. I can't remember what happens. And I know we go to, uh, X games, but this is a funny, bad title. I know what we were trying to do in it, but Jake has a kid, baby daddy. We made him put a sandbag inside of his shirt. No, that was funny. That was funny.
That was a different time of YouTube though. Imagine clicking on that shit and being like, what? No, it was funny because what the deal was is we were going to X-Sams. It was hot as shit. And we were walking there in Minneapolis and there was a sandbag just on the side of the road. And someone said, Jake, if you carry that sandbag for the whole day, I'll give you like $100 or something.
well pay for your meal. Like it was like a pretty minimal thing. I think it was paid for his meal. He just picked it up and started carrying it. And we all started cracking jokes. Like you have to act like it's your kid when you go into the restaurant. Uh, how about the one,
of uh ken with the two chicks at heydays and it's titled our first time that was like exactly what we're doing there too is like trying to just click bait them in that was five years ago and it was a much different time on youtube and after those videos so our first time and then we had every car owner needs this and then that's another one the next the next video 3.9 million views police plus shifter cart through college campus so
You were on the right track. It just was missing on a couple. Yeah. Remember when we went on that stunt ride? That was gnarly. That was pretty cool. 733. And then not many videos past that was the worst Craigslist trade ever when we traded...
A truck for $450,000, 1.7, and then shift to current thin ice, $4 million. That quad wheelie's on ice, $5.4 million. God, the further back this is, this does get more cringe the further I scroll back here. The one thing is, though, is like you look back, I mean, shit, five years ago, we were five years younger. You're 5'3".
years I'm sure in any job you can look back at things you did five years ago and be like man I really wasn't as good at my job five years ago as I was now so we've definitely improved and grown a lot which is good yeah the evolution but fuck it is it is hard to watch in those moments did you guys feel like we were doing something cool or did you feel embarrassed about it no I guess yeah I mean you are correct both of our intros were a little bit relatively cringe but I feel like the second one
When we like got the Corvettes and like Jake was with the guitar, like, and like the song. And I was just from the get go. I've always thought that shit was just like, yeah, just like, I still cringe thinking about that. It is funny to see some people still. Yeah. There is people that request those. I know. But also at the same time, I feel like if we showed it to the master, like, Hey, do you like this? They'd be like, what the hell is that? Yeah. Yeah.
I don't know. That was just my thought. I've always felt that way on that, though. The first one was cool and short, but also still cringe with all of us dancing on the boat with the girls. Oh, yeah. It was just like a phone clip. That part right there ruins it for me. And then pretty much the whole thing of the second one, besides for the shot of Ben wheeling, I thought was pretty good.
I don't know how to use the word online. Man, I can't believe we used that video clip of all the... Oh, on the boat? Yeah. Dude, Mike and I made that... Well, there's two of them. We did it again in the second one, but the very first one Mike and I made together and legitimately made it in probably...
I think 30 seconds. Like, I was sitting there and Mike was like, here, I'll show you how. And we just put like four clips together. That was it. And then I was like, how do you put text on it? And he showed me how to drag text above. I was like, nice. C-Boys TV. I wonder if we're going to look back and be like, man, why did we...
have like an outro and that's another thing when we used to like end videos and be like all right guys thanks for watching and shit and like everyone if you watch i remember even at the time it was just like such a different time though but like
Mike would be like, all right, that's it for today, guys. Thanks for watching. And then it'd be like, all right, now Ben comes in. Thanks for watching guys. And be sure to like, and hit subscribe. And then I'd be coming in like, Hey guys. It was like, everyone had to get their last word. And I'm like, what the fuck are we doing? Like just one person ended and let's get on with it. It was tough. And I didn't want to cut anyone off. Cause I was like,
I don't want to like cut his screen time. I remember so many times in the old shop where we spent like an hour just trying to film that. It was like, yeah, and little just getting old. And I think same thing. Outros and YouTube at that point were normal and now they aren't. Now I, I noticed we cut the dog from the last video. Did we? No, we didn't. It was in the last video. I remember it. Yeah. And watch it till the end then. Yeah. Yeah.
Somebody... It's in the last video. I guarantee it. I think I'm on the fence of why we... I think we should just cut the dog. I hate to say it. For algorithmic purposes, I think we need to just cut the dog. And it sucks. It is a bummer, but like...
As soon as it hits tboistv.com, it should just go boom, black screen, hit them with the next ad because the dog goes and then there's like these four seconds roughly of people clicking off and we miss the very last ad. So I'm always wondering like how much money have we lost out on over the years because most people click off before they get served that ad.
Yeah, I was going to say. You're also hurting watch time percentage. Are we going to look back once we know more in the future and be like, man, that was so dumb that we had a dog bark at the end for like five years? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. At the same time, fuck, I guess I really have no idea how much money we're losing, but I would guarantee you most people click off. No one watches it. I think we might have to just call it. I think we got to. We stopped doing...
Like the post clip outros or like the bloopers blooper, which is also, I get that too, but it's also a bummer because I love that when you come in and you get that last laugh, it was that last hit of dopamine when you're watching the video and it's rounded out, everything's done and you feel concluded with the video, right? Yeah. This is playing devil's advocate here. No, I videos concluded and you're like, all right, I'm done with the C boys now. And then this little bit comes in from the middle and you go, Oh, that was so funny. I want more.
Yeah. There's, there's all that. I get it. It probably, the seconds lost goes in the algorithm and we lose out. But I just, I agree with what you're saying. I just, I just hate that YouTube has gone to that point where you have to add it so damn tight that you don't. Yeah. I agree. It does kind of suck. I agree. Like it's getting so fast paced that you'd have to like cut a lot of the shit that almost makes it like so personalized. But at the same time, I personally, um,
um have not had a clip where i was like oh this is not good in the video and it should be possibly a blooper in a long time just because the way we film and yeah that's it's not as much goofing off like uncontrollably goofing off where it's like i have this like kind of funny dumb little clip of someone like you know or whatever they'd be saying like like it's funny but it's like
no context to it and those are what we would use as bloopers a lot of the time or you would replay a really funny spot which we do sometimes still do yep yeah and I yeah we're probably just getting better we're probably just getting better at filming I'd be a drop okay so right now we're having security Kim right out there he's in the ceiling bro the shop isn't that quiet
Can I say what's going on here? Alright, so we're having security cameras put in. It's been going on for a while. Right before we start filming this, the guy comes in and he goes, oh, you guys are filming a podcast? Okay, well, I might be climbing up in the attic running some...
And then we just heard this loud crash. Is that cool? We were like, yeah, that's cool, bro. As long as you're over there. He falls through the ceiling. Right into the podcast. I would black out, dude. Just body slam through the table.
It's like that video where they go, like, the guy falls through and then the other guy is standing and he goes, oh, hey, Carl. Oh, yeah. Hey, Ron. Hey, Ron. Hey, Ron.
And then he starts moving. He goes, oh, don't move now. Dude, there's just something about falling that is so funny. I know. Dude, it's like last week when Gavin hops on the three-wheeler trike that we just give him and he hits that culvert. It's so funny.
It's just like, why is that so funny, though? Like, that is the hardest I've ever laughed. I'm sticking to that. And it was funny because he didn't, like, get hurt. Thank goodness. But also, even if he would have gotten a little bit hurt, it was, like, such a funny fall and funny coincidence of events that it would have still been funny. It wouldn't have been as funny.
but like, holy shit, dude. It's like human nature to laugh at that shit. You can't make that up. Like, you literally cannot make that up. I mean, they make TV shows of people falling and shit. Ridiculousness. It was just...
You know them. America's Funniest Home Videos. No, it is something about people suffering or getting hurt. Okay, I don't know about the suffering. No, no, no. I mean like people, you know, suffering. How do I reword this?
The best part about it is too is when he kind of like hits the windshield and that just goes limp. It's like he hit it and then he just turned off because he was like, I don't want to do anything and mess it up further. So he just kind of like went limp and then just fell. And then it falls on top of him. But like doesn't hit him. It like fell around him. It was like at a cartoon when the house falls over and the window hole is there. Yeah. Yeah.
Man, that was funny. Yeah, no, I think that might actually be the hardest I've ever laughed. I'm so sad I missed that. I'm so glad you guys weren't there because it might not have happened if you guys were there. And just the slight risk of that not happening. Something changing in the universe. It happened so fast. I was like, he made it five feet off the highway. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Did you watch the video? Yeah. You did? Yeah. Oh, nice. Yeah.
Yeah, Ken watched it with me at home. Oh, okay. So you had to make sure he saw it. Yeah, he tuned in halfway through, but he saw it. Ken, how many videos do you think you haven't watched? Too many to count. Ten. Like ten. Okay. Pretty good. Definitely the same. I have to admit, I also didn't watch the salmon fishing video. It wasn't the salmon fishing video. There was much more to it.
Mike and Ryan made this vid. You can just skip it. Fuck it. We hung out with the side-by-side blog guys. I know, and I felt like I was missing a connection when I met them. That's what I mean, dude. They're beauties. They're the greatest dudes ever. I feel like we're out of the loop. That ship sailed. Get out of here, dude. They taught me how to water skip.
Which I used later in the video. He did almost kill me that one time. So I feel like we do have a special bond. I think he almost killed all of us. Almost. Not me. No, I'm not holding it against him. That's one thing I don't fuck with.
Hopping passenger in a Razor. Or side by side. Yeah, it is kind of one of those things that... I'm never doing that again. You don't need to say anything. Yeah, no kidding. If I'm going to die or hurt myself, I want to do it to myself. Be under your own power. Rather than riding passenger and be like, I wish he would have gone a little faster.
I mean, that's true. Like, I'd rather just be like, ah, I messed up and didn't go fast enough or whatever. Or went too fast. Yeah. Yeah, there's not a whole lot of reasons to really hop passenger in something. And Evan's really kind of stuck by that, too. Like, he's always said, like, no, I have literally nothing to gain by riding with you. I don't know how girls ride on the back at crotch rockets with those
freaking gomers that ride them around in Fargo. Is that going to be you and Alex next year? On your crotch rocket? She'll be riding on the back, but I'm not a gomer.
Mike and F laugh like you're an experienced crotch rocket rider. Yeah, CJ, dude. Watching you ride that crotch rocket, I'm not sure if you can make that argument. What? Dude. Am I actually bad at it? No, you're not. I thought I was driving it just fine. Bad at it, but you don't have a lot of seat time. Can we pop up some of the roller videos of me on the crotch rocket? Yeah. It looks sick. What do you mean? I was flying by. You guys are like 115 miles an hour.
Like you're never laughing in the back. Well, what's wrong with him? I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with him. Nothing. It just doesn't look... You just... Never mind. Are you thinking about the thing I'm thinking about? I don't know. It depends. What are you guys thinking about? Because I'm a bit in the dark here, too. Over by G-Rag and Shauna's house.
And the whole bike literally exploded. Huh? Never mind. Oh, when the throttle came off? No, that's not at all what I was thinking about. Okay, we're on different pages. He's talking about when my zipper was down when I was riding. That's really their favorite part. They were pausing it, playing the bag.
Really? That's it? I don't know why. Can you explain why? Nothing. Okay. I will say, like, I do agree. You feel a lot cooler riding it, and then when you watch it, you're like, I don't look that cool on it. I feel like it's the helmet. Well, yeah, our helmet's not the coolest. The helmet's kind of layered. Yeah, I mean, it's a free helmet that Mike got back in, like, 2016 with his $1,000 bike he bought off Craigslist. So, I mean...
Can I at least get an explanation? I think the podcast listeners deserve an explanation of why I don't look cool or why I look like a gomer on the crotch rocket. Mike, do you want to explain? And why these guys don't look like gomers riding it. I don't know. It just...
Ben, I'm about to out you, I guess, just because we were a part of this. It's not that big of a thing. It was just really funny when we first got the R6. You're like, I'll do the rollers. And I'm like, you know, somebody's got to do it. Of course. But I remember because we didn't know either when you said, do I look cooler down, down like this over the gas tank or do I look cooler sitting up? And I genuinely didn't know. I didn't either. So I was asking you guys. You were going like back and forth between it and
And then I was so caught up with like making sure the stabilizer and camera was working good. I was so caught up in that that I like kind of forgot to tell you that it, it looks cooler when you just go half between way down and up. Like,
I was like, I failed to mention that to you. So yeah, some of them you were like... Bro, like making love to that gas station. Like holding it. Because when you flew, when you did the flyby, that was really normal because you actually had to concentrate. And so your riding position was really natural. But then it was when, of course, when we're going 30 miles an hour. 25 miles per hour.
And you just honked over this thing. But again, equally as funny when you stood up because it looked like you had like a back brace on. You're like... Well, that's the thing. I was looking at the footage. I'm like, God. Like again, you fucking feel a lot cooler riding the thing than you look. Because like I rode it in the other day and Alex was here and I didn't know she was here and she started...
taking a snapchat video or something on me uh for a story and i saw i saw she posted i click on i'm like yeah i'm gonna look cool in front of everyone pulling up on this crotch rock i'm like god damn it why do i look so cool as soon as i saw it i think it is that i had an experience like that like i don't know when i got honest though when have you ever looked at a guy on a crotch rock and be like god that guy looks cool i think that's one of those things i do it like a lot but you you
If you have a badass rocket and you're fully geared up and you have an actually sick helmet with a visor that you mirrored, you look badass. I think you do. I remember when I had that black helmet with the stripes, the one that we used in the video. When I got my first street bike, nothing fast, not even considered a crotch rocket. It was hardly a moped. That is a lie, but
How many CCs was it? You want me to get another one and put it up against a ruckus? Let's do it. You calling Mike's first bike a moped is so offensive. It was. How fast did it go? 55? I put it up to 99. Okay. That's what I remember. It was a normal motorcycle. It just wasn't a rocket. What CC? 500.
It was 500. But I just remember pulling up to like the local, like the Kroll's diner. Can you imagine buying a 500cc motorcycle like nowadays? Well, that's the thing. But all the entry-level- But if there are 600cc- Yep, different, just completely- It's like an insane thing, but- Right. Like I couldn't even, I actually couldn't even get the front tire up. Not that I was like even able to. It was like, and you could,
maybe get the front tire like this far off. But I guess you were just getting into riding, so it makes sense. Right. It was fun while it lasted. A little beginner. But I didn't have anyone to ride with. But anyway, I pull up to like the local diner on the Monday night when everyone goes for shakes. And this chick takes a Snapchat of me and then said, oh, yeah, like you got to let her get on your bike.
I thought I was so cool and then she sent me the snapchat and I still I was like wow I don't look cool at all dude I think it might be like just a permanent motorcycle thing maybe Harley's though you do look a little you can look badass on a Harley that one's a little bit of a better position like a natural position the handlebars for sure Ryan speaking of mopeds oh
Can you pop up the video of you wheeling your ruckus through campus? Oh yeah. Attempting in front of man. This is just when you're young and you think you're so cool. Jake, Jake had an SSR and I had my ruckus. And so we were driving around, we're going to the dining center and like a big auditorium class had just gotten out. Probably like 50 people. Um,
Maybe even more, honestly. And I just was like, I'm going to wheelie. And I stood on the back of my moped. Like two feet on the back. Yeah. On the back bar. And I wheelied for a bit and then looped it out in front of like a lot of people. And they all were like, oh. I saved it. That's never not going to be funny. No. Like anytime anyone does that. The sound of a bike hitting the pavement will make everyone turn around. Yeah. And a good crowd around you. Sliding. Yeah.
Well, when it's a moped at 10, when you said that, then I'm starting to picture like, can you imagine some guy like loops out going like 60 and you're like, that's always funny. Yeah. That's always so funny. Ah,
I actually. You'd laugh. Okay. And to elaborate more on that. Dude. I actually. So that's why I'm not the type of person to yell like, wheelie it. I remember. And so you guys. Yo, wheelie it. Whoa. Winter down the guy loops it right there. I would feel it just wouldn't feel good. Cause like when we were with buttery, buttery always does it, but it's like, there's always bikes when we're riding on California. Every guy that comes by Papa wheel.
It's a pretty normal funny thing to say But what if one dude really didn't know what he was doing Which buddy would just love Or anyone But if someone looped it out trying to wheelie it Just because you said Papa Wheelie I'd feel so bad I think that's exactly what people want That say Papa Wheelie Yeah you're right
They'd rather see a loop than a decent wheelie. That could be a series on this show, like a little bit just called Wheelie It, and it's us just reacting to people just looping up their bikes. Maybe we'll do it in the next pod. Do we have any idiot of the week? This one could be it.
Oh my. Come on, dude. He set me up for it. Ryan's the idiot of the week. Jumping in the pool. Is that the one where he face plants and it's age restricted everywhere? Because he should have died. Yeah, I only watched that one. You like double front flips to the... Yeah, I only could watch that once. If anything on Instagram says like, do you want to see this video? You know, it makes you like verify. I don't watch it. Oh, this one's different. Oh, that one.
That's not him. That was a different guy. Cut that in. That was a bad idea gone bad right there. A bad idea gone bad. You know, because sometimes it can go good. It would have been sweet if he did it. Parkour. Bad idea gone bad. That's a fun slogan. That is a fun slogan. I found it. I posted it on Instagram, actually. I said, miss my ruckus. Because it got stolen, by the way.
And this is some... Oh, my gosh. Why do you look so young, Ryan? He throws the arm up. And this... You did say that. There's a lot of people, and that was just a random person that posted it on, like, the Snap Map. Oh, my gosh. Oh, seriously? Yeah. I think Jake was embarrassed to be fucking with you. He stopped. He's like, I don't know that guy. Yeah.
Then my ruckus got stolen. Were you able to wheelie that thing good or were you just going for it? That was my favorite part. Not really. I was not do it in front of a crowd of people good. No, for sure not. I was all hyped up, dude. I was leaving the dining
I probably had three Mountain Dews. Dude, it's funny how CJ just said even Jake was embarrassed to be with you. It's really funny how when Jake got that, it was like a Thumbstar. Same thing as an SSR. Oh, yeah. When he got that... That's a knockoff of an SSR. Oh, no. I thought it was like a slightly... Anyway, it's the same thing. I just remember when he...
could wheelie it. He would two foot down, wheelie it. Tripod. We call that the tripod. And I remember being like, damn, dude, you're so good at it. You know, like, oh, I can't wait till I get a pit bike one day and be able to do that. And then when we went to Andrew Carlson's and we rode real 110s, he had it down. Double your tripod, just roll around. I'm like, look at it, just circles all day. How does he do it? And then I, and then we learned how to wheelie pretty quick. And then I was like, Jake, yeah, just like take your feet off and like put them on the pegs. He was just like, no.
Oh, absolutely not. Jake would wear it through his knees. Yeah, yeah. Like, I can't believe that I was like, I mean, I did, but then I looked up to the fact that he could do that. Like, it was a real skill. Sorry, Jake. It's still harder than rock wheeling. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Gosh, that's funny.
Oh, man. I really got to pee. Should we end on that Idiot of the Week? Sorry. It is tough. Yeah. Honestly, if you ever want to rip me for Idiot of the Week, you can. Ryan just comes up with the whole podcast. He's just diving deep into the Idiot of the Week.
That'd be pretty good. Alrighty fellas, we're going to wrap up. We're headed off to Vegas this week. So we will be back next Tuesday and the next Tuesday after that and the next Tuesday after that.
