We're rolling. What's up, guys? Welcome back to the podcast. Sorry we took a week off. We're at heydays. Oh, we're not uploading this week? What am I going to magically do? Pop it out six hours ago? I don't know.

I don't know. I wasn't sure if we were just uploading it like a couple days late. No, probably not. That'd be fair. Should we just jump right into it? I have a little bit of a story I guess I could tell that happened before Hay Days. I've been holding it in. Okay. So like two weeks ago, we had the weekend off. I was hanging out with my girlfriend and we were all out on the boat. We were with you guys for a little while of it and then everyone went home and she had her friend out and we're all drunk and driving around on the boat and I pulled a Ryan.

Oh, me? I know. Yeah. So I'm like kind of. Which is. Yeah. I'm pretty disappointed in myself because now I'm in the same group as him. But. You go psycho? No. I accidentally slapped one of my girlfriend's friend's ass. And it was like a full on. Wait, who? Like. Was it me?

Like slap, like slapping girlfriends friends. Oh, I thought you said another one of your friends. I was like, Oh shit. I didn't even know about this. Okay. Just like, just like a pat, like a slap, slap and slap. Like I would like, it was pretty aggressive. I was not proud of myself. And the reason why it happened, I'm not,

Like Ryan, where I try to just sneak him in. Of course. Like he did on your girlfriend. Right. So she was wearing my sweatpants. So Alex gave her like some Seaboys TV sweatpants because they all went inside and it was cold. So I thought it was Alex because I was like, what other girl would be wearing Seaboys sweatpants? And I was like looking down and there's booty here. So I go, booty.

Booty hair? Booty hair? No, a booty hair. Oh, booty hair. Booty hair. Slap it. And there was like other people on the boat that we had like just picked up. And I didn't realize it for like 30 seconds. I didn't realize it for 30 seconds. So I was just like kind of cruising around. And everyone in the back was just like. She didn't say anything? That's almost more disturbing. Not right away. She kind of was just like. And then I realized it was her. I was like, whoa. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. And I was like apologizing to her. I was apologizing to Alex. And they thought it was funny, which was good. But.

It is quite an awkward situation to put yourself in, though. You feel like a real idiot. Was her boyfriend on the boat? No, she didn't have a boyfriend. Oh, you're lucky. Are you like in business with her boyfriend? And is he like one of your best friends? Because that would make it a lot more awkward. That would make it more uncomfortable then. Then you got a little bit more on the line. Well, mine wasn't premeditated. It was like an actual accident. Does he have a podcast that he's going to go roast you on?

Thank God, no. Yeah, so that's the crazy part is Ryan knew all that going into it, and it was, as you said, premeditated, but he still, let's just say, wanted to take the chance. I didn't mean to do it. It was an accident. It just happened. That's funny. Yeah, I was like, premeditated is so far from it. Ryan just been on it up all night. The last seven years. So I can't wait for my chance. Tonight at the Dark MGK concert.

Today is my chance. That's what it seemed like, Ryan. I've been holding that in for a while. Well, we'll keep you two over there, scumbags. Now you're scaring me. It might happen again. It might not be either of you guys, but

Could be Ken. Well, Ken does that on the reg though. Yeah. I mean, I don't think that'd be too, uh, I don't either. Yeah. People would expect that the girls would too. But anyway. All right. So, okay. So back to, back to heydays, I guess to just give everybody a little bit of context. Heydays is like it kickoff to winter party where all like the snowmobile industry brands kind of come together and that's like a quarter of it. And then the other three quarters of it is just like swap, uh,

like setting up tents and just like selling shit or they just come to party and camp there. It's basically like I don't 50,000 60,000 people. I can't remember how many acres it is either. A lot of people but we've been going there for I don't know five five years. We've been doing YouTube for what six years. Yeah. We've been going to that show I think right away actually maybe six years and we started with a

a table in the middle of swap and we just had a couple t-shirts hung up in the back and we had a like a handmade c boys tv sign and we just like posted on our stories like hey if you guys are at heydays come to the middle of swap row a17 you should add like contact like swap is basically just like public campground it's just a giant fucking garage it's just camping yeah everybody pulls in and puts all their shit from their house that they don't want anymore and tries to sell it

Yeah, so that was like the first kind of heydays setup that we had. And it's so funny because we don't even have photos of it. Because it looked like shit. Why would I take a picture of this? That's how bad it was. And then the year after that, we were at like the edge of swap. So we were like, we're still in swap, but...

So at least like findable this year. And then the year after we were like on the very far side of like where like businesses would be. And then it got a little bit bigger and a little bit bigger. And then this year we were like right next to 509, right next to Polaris. And it was like electric. Yeah, it was like, there was like something in the air at our booth for like

12 hours straight people waiting in line for like two and a half hours just to like meet our dumb asses like seriously like insane Evan was loving he was drinking tea and he was progressively getting louder as the day went on because he was drinking tea so it was like the rest of us were getting tired but Evan was just getting more drunk so like I'm

I'm sure everyone's like, man, Evan sure is friendly. But at the very end, when we give away the pit bike, we're up on top of the seaman truck, and there's a sea of people around us, and we're throwing free stuff out. I'm on the megaphone. And Evan looked at me and goes, should we Woodstock 99 this shit? Like start a riot? And I was just like, I thought about it for a second. I was like, no, we can't do that, Evan, because he was all tuned up. Yeah, when we gave that pit bike away,

It was electric. And the kid was right in front of us when we announced it. Dad centered this crowd. Dude, that could not have been any better. That was perfect. Ken or CJ says the name and then I'm just, I have the camera pointed at the audience. Everyone's going, oh, oh, oh. And then a little kid's hands just go up in the air. We're like, oh, he's here. And he's like this. It's me. Just in disbelief.

His mom was not stoked. Why? Did you guys get that vibe too? No. Uh-uh. Oh, maybe. I could have been wrong. I could have been wrong. But when we gave the bike to him. I think she was worried that he was going to get hurt on it. I was like, you can just sell it. Yeah, that could be the case. That could be the case. But I was like, yeah, this is crazy. And she's like, eh. I was like, oh, she's not.

She's not on the same. I had to figure out a way to take it home then. Yeah. They give them straps or anything. Who? We don't even know what. All right. See, there it is. Good luck. Didn't even think of that. No. At one point I did wonder that I'm like, I wonder what he ended up doing with it. You know, like what if they legit drove a Camry or something? He rolls it back to swap and just posts it for sale. I feel like he did. Yeah. Actually, we didn't think of that. Hades brings out a special breed.

Yeah. I can't remember Trent had a name for them. We'll go with lot lizards, but they're just like the backwoods and everybody comes out. You put on like your t-shirt with the vulgar words that you can't wear anywhere else. And you're like, this is a perfect heyday shirt. We watched a guy jump off the roof of an RV onto a folding table and like blew it out. And then he went, that was sick. And then Sane paid him a hundred bucks to do it again. And then he jumped onto two folding tables. Woo!

Which actually looked easier, but they did this last year. I'm pretty sure off the same RV, not the same guy, but I'm like, I'm pretty sure this is the same RV that someone jumped off last year. And I didn't like, I wasn't expecting to see it again at Trent's. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And so also, uh, the shenanigans going on at this time, he, he doubles it up. So saying pays him a hundred bucks. I didn't know that, but doubles the tables up. But then there's a guy with a sex doll named Ursula.

who put that on top of it, so she got RKO'd for sure. We just got an email. I actually haven't read the whole thing. We just got an email. They asked us if we took Ursula. What? It said, do you guys steal my Ursula at Hay Days? She went missing Friday night. Then I see pictures Saturday with her and you guys. LOL. Pull up the picture. It's this guy. When did we take a picture with Ursula? Oh, Ken's in the background.

crowd. But yeah, like, I mean, that was... Look at this. You guys, look at this. Ha ha ha!

Ken, where are you sneaking off to with that thing? It does look like Ken is up to something. Ken was up to something on Saturday night. Hold up, hold up. Has anybody checked the backseat of Ken's Tesla? The frunk. What? That's where everything goes missing. Did you take Ursula? Ken was on an absolute tyrant on Saturday night, so it wouldn't have... I wouldn't have put it past him to snag Ursula. I don't know what your plans were with her, Ken, but...

In your defense, Ken, I did see then on Sunday someone's pulling out with a trailer and it's like they purposely must have done this, but they took the sex doll and then closed the trailer like halfway on her. So she's hanging on the back. I was like, well, there goes Ursula. Did I tell you guys a story about the episode of Fast and Furious I got to see on Friday night? Saturday night. Episode? Episode. Segment. Whatever. Okay. So I ended up getting the full story. So we'll start with that. Okay.

apparently somebody cut, uh,

uh like a blimp oh yeah off of one of the booths down the way so it flies up and it's illuminated so you basically oh the led blimp yeah yeah yeah so everybody who's like drunk partying basically sees this led blimp just go floating away and everybody's like whoa look at that at this point i didn't know that uh chase and i are walking down like the main drag and it's uh dealers on one side and then camping on the other so we're just walking chatting whatever and we kind of hear like a little commotion

Guy comes sprinting across the row. Shortly followed by him is a golf cart. Also bombing. Cause so there's security everywhere, everywhere. And they're on four wheelers, golf carts, razors, whatever. So security on a golf cart comes bombing over the hill and is chasing after him. We're like, Whoa, what the fuck? Then about two and a half seconds later, this guy comes by on a four wheeler light bars on full, full tilt,

over the hill kind of loses a little bit of traction like two wheels it and careens and just rams through like five folding tables into an enclosed trailer what like 25 feet in front of wait he was a security guard he was a security guard what for this way you put a guy in a vest and he's fucking pretty happy yeah we're working at heydays we're acting like they were like fbi agents yeah jesus dude i'm

I didn't hear about that. Dude did too much. Yeah, dude did too much. And the funny thing was, the guy was running. It was a drunk guy running. He was on a four-wheeler. It can't be that hard to catch him. So anyway, crashes into this thing. Gave the four-wheeler to the wrong guy. Gets up, runs over, and tackles this dude. Oh, they caught him. Yeah, we didn't know we had...

He had cut the blimp. He had cut the blimp, allegedly. But we didn't know this at the point. Tackled him like he had actually just murdered an entire family. Like took him down, fucking slammed him in the ground. Was he a cop or a security guard? A security guard. So Chase and I run over there. This is all under like a light plant. We're watching. I'm like trying to rip out my phone. Security's coming up to us, kind of telling us to get away.

This guy's just beating this kid up on the ground. I'm like, holy crap, this is intense. What'd he do? More security comms.

fucking whatever so then super drunk guy that crashed the four-wheeler and he was a security guard security guard oh he was drunk yes and this is why they are really letting anybody be security there this is what i think so then they come and we're close enough that we can hear this and they're like you got to get out of here you got to get out of here they're telling the security guard this oh my god security guard walks over grabs these folding tables like it was the folding table's fault for being in the way of his four-wheeler

trucks them out of the way. Who were they? Just some random ass people? A vendor that just happened to be there.

Gets on his four-wheeler, fucking cranks it up, throws it in reverse, you know, goes like that, jams it into drive, rips off and tears off into the distance. It's another folding table and trailer. It's another person. Just tears off. And then the real police came, and then the kid was sitting there. He's like, I didn't do anything. I was just walking to my friend's house. And then...

We're like, all right, seems like it's over. Yeah, how do you prove that? I remember a handful of people asking us about the blimp thing, and I'm like, that's kind of funny. I mean, it sucks for whoever lost their branded blimp, but they were like, we got to track this kid down. He needs to be sitting in jail tonight. Yeah, they were like really pissed. But yeah, they were really upset. I saw a really funny picture. Maybe I won't be able to find, but they like Photoshopped the blimp

It was actually the BMP bumpers one. They photoshopped it in orbit. Yo, BMP should thank whoever cut that blimp because it's the best publicity they physically could have gotten. Yeah, dude, everybody was talking about it. Everyone was talking about it, dude. And yeah, honestly though, that is a safety hazard for that thing going up.

And it's like massive. Like there's probably like a six foot ball. Yeah. And like, imagine like the, uh, the FF, the, not the FFA, the FAA, the FFA. It's tough. It's sitting there and they all of a sudden get beep. Beep. It's like moving. They're like, what do we got here? What do we got? They're like, zoom in on it, zoom in on it. Thinking that it's like a, like a nuclear threads or something like that. And they're like, does that say BMP bumper? But yeah, anyway, security was, uh,

It was getting out of hand. Hay Day's just tends to get out of hand. Definitely. I mean, I went too overboard on Saturday night. Mike got off the leash and he was barking. It's exactly what. He was barking. Everyone the next day was like, you were hilarious, but I don't even know how you got to that point. I don't know. Overdid it. Sunday hurt, but it was a beautiful weekend. So this kid at Hay Day's got anorexia.

I almost thought he was joking I did

Well, Ken does the most half-ass job riding no-kind. Like, he held the Sharpie at the farthest tip and was like. No, so it's like. It got on his nipple, dude. So it's like, you know when you're Sharpie-ing something, like, on skin, and it kind of, like, bunches up and then jumps, and that's. I was like, ah, fuck.

Either way. Already did that. I'm just going to finish it off and just kept doing that on his skin. I was just like, oh, this is bad. Yeah, I watch you do it and I'm like, oh, he's definitely going to probably redo that though. He'll just redo that. Because if he actually is. Basically, the kid ends up leaving then and I was like, there's no way he's doing that. He's actually getting his tattoo. He comes back two hours later, tattooed on his chest. Bad idea. I was thinking, there's no way this kid actually goes through and does this. There's no way a tattoo shop will be able to get it done same day. Comes back two hours later and he's just like...

ecstatic about it and I was like oh no I'm fucking stoked for him as long as he's happy I should have like fixed this yeah you should have why did you shut up it's the most half ass job I've ever seen this kid's got it for the rest of his life and he doesn't even have a single tattoo most people that gets like a something tattooed on them are like covered and you're like ah it doesn't really matter just blends in his parents are gonna be livid I didn't think he was gonna follow through with it on a Saturday afternoon and he had been what like 18 you gotta like the clip of Ken we'll throw that in like

is priceless of when you first saw it like when you first saw it you went oh my god you kind of like looked around to make like make sure no one was i don't know we were all just like damn ken that's on you but no it was it was cool it was cool he made the video and the tattoo artist did kind of clean it up so it looks a little punk rock now yeah it's kind of cool he's definitely gonna need some more some more you add more to that nick can look good

A full chest piece. Yeah. He needs like an eagle across his chest to cover up. A full chest piece is what he's going to need. So that was pretty crazy. So shout out all the wild fans and the wild interactions we had. Definitely. So kind of on that, you know, the guy that cut that thing and probably ended up in jail, would you guys rather spend a year in jail straight? Or gay? Gay.

Sorry dude, I didn't mean it just black came out. Sorry, but no definitely straight. He's serving the year I didn't even control that finish the damn question Would you rather spend a year in jail straight or

It's definitely the wording. A year straight in jail? Mike's such a little smartass he had to put that in. I see what you're doing now. So would you rather spend one year straight in jail? Or be trained? Let me just fucking redo this. Consecutively. Would you rather spend one entire year in jail or

Five years, but you just go on the weekends. Fuck that. I'd do one year. I'd do the year. Okay, but wait. There is some perks to only going on the weekends. One, you never have to go to anybody's shitty wedding. Yeah.

For five years. You're in prison. You got a good... No, just jail. You got a good excuse. You're free during the week, dude. You get out, go to work. I think the upside would be being able to have a job. You have a job. You work, watch Netflix at night. I don't know. There is perks to it, honestly. So I'd take it you're on the weekend side of things. Every weekend. Like there's no more Sunday scaries.

You're looking forward to the work week. You get out. You're well rested. You're looking forward to Monday. Yeah, you work out. You can work out on the weekends. You got time to work out. You're probably not going to be drinking as much. No. Finally get off the wagon. There's no more Sunday scaries because that doesn't exist, but there is like the Friday evening scaries of having to go to jail every weekend. However, once you got used to it. Yeah. Thirsty Thursday. No, I'd still, for the record, I'd still take the year. Jesus.

But maybe it depends on if it's just like a normal jail or if it's like a pretty hardcore one because then I think I'd rather go in and out so you can escape it. It sounds like a scary place. Yeah.

yeah no jail doesn't sound sick yeah i just thought about that i was like well then you have to go to freaking weddings and do you can dump all the weekend plans you don't really want to do obviously you wouldn't get all the weekend plans you did want to do yeah more people are doing like thursday weddings now though so it's like still can't get out of that you do then maybe you can once you just say i don't don't i don't go to weddings exactly stop stop going to weddings and you don't have to go to jail either

Well, I mean, I'm not saying that I would prefer to go to jail instead of a wedding. I'm just saying that that would be a good excuse. Ryan's just out here committing crimes like, oh, I can't. Sorry, Mr. Wedding. I robbed the convenience store. Prison.

Just jail. And just on the weekends. 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.

Ben, you want to hop back in? Back to the blimp getting cut off, though. Didn't you guys get accused of doing it, too? Really? No, we were hanging out over at our buddy's race. I don't know.

I don't know what you want to call it. Trailer thing. Really sweet trailer. And as we leave and it was like very tame, like just like four of us over there, me, Tint, Mark,

And Kevin. And we go walking out of there. And police come from all angles. Like, hey, what are you doing? You'd have thought we were a wanted fugitive. And they were kind of grilling us. And then one of them from the back goes, DJ? And I was like, hey, what's up? And he's like, oh. And then everyone just put their guard down. And then I was like, yeah, we're just going back to our campsite or whatever. They were fully investigating it. I think I want to start a new segment.

every week on the podcast i'm going to bring up an idiot from the internet because we are not the only people that can i thought you're gonna say from the group fellow idiots of the fellow idiots of the internet idiots calling out idiots it's only fair honestly yeah if you're not an idiot you don't deserve to call another person an idiot no exactly it takes one to no one so this is from our good friends the dobre brothers oh yeah my good friends i we don't know but to be clear

But I happened to be scrolling through shorts and someone commented on it and was like, the Dobre Brothers crashed their Lambo. And I was like, I have to see this. And I haven't seen this yet, but the Dobre Brothers are prime examples of, you know, made a bunch of money on YouTube, bought a bunch of supercars. They're like the prime example of what makes YouTubers have a bad rep. Yeah. Probably just don't belong hooning supercars. I mean, and I don't know. That doesn't necessarily mean we are either, but...

My question is...

Who's watching the Dobre brothers? Have you ever met somebody out in the wild? It'd have to just be little kids. But they have insane followings. No offense, but they are legitimately dumb. Are they acting? I don't know. Even if they are acting, they still are coming across dumb. Not even acting dumb, just coming across dumb while they're acting. I'll only play the ending, but the premise of what has happened is they're at a drag strip.

And he has a Huracan STO, a Lamborghini Huracan STO, which is a very... Did we get a price tag on that? Anybody? Yeah, 1.7 million views. So that's pretty good. He crashed his Lamborghini and only got 1.7 million views? That sucks. So the premise of this is they're at an abandoned drag strip and they're going down the drag strip?

and then turning around and then coming back. And I believe it was some type of time trial thing. They're like 350, 400 to answer your question, Mike. Ad rev ain't paying for that. No, definitely bad, bad return on a investment there. Is he wearing driving gloves? He is wearing driving gloves. And he made a comment about how that would help him in the race.

And, uh... To be fair, to be fair, I said the exact same thing. And it didn't help. Mine was at least joking. I think the audience at least knew that I was joking. Yeah, and then they weren't even driving gloves. Didn't know that. So this is the turnaround. Do you have to do a couple point turn here? Bro, you guys are so dumb. Oh, shit, he's moving. Oh!

Poor camera guy, dude. You're going too fast. Hit the brakes, bro. Too late. Oh my gosh. We're all silent. That's the vibes. He's like...

Dude, it legit didn't look like he hit the brakes until he passed the Ferrari here. So he must have thought he was going to just stop on a dime from 150 to nothing. So yeah, if you look at this pedometer, when he crashes, he was doing 148. 148. Oh my gosh. That thing is sick too. I love his bags right over. Oh my gosh. Quick, the camera guy wants to get out of there. He's like, give me a sick car though.

Super sick dude. Yeah, the camera guys like I literally told you dude you're going too fast Oh, that's my favorite part what he's good He's leaking and then he goes where in the guy goes from the front he goes well That's good because the engines in the back and soon here they'll pull up the outside angle and it is gnarly Who's calling you at this hour? Poor dude is rattled

I don't want to shit on him too much. That's good. Except for this metal fence and my right side mirror. Are you okay? Yeah, yeah. I'm killing. I don't want to shit on him too much, you know, because accidents happen and these are real people. Yeah. But pretty dumb looking back. This is them. They're all like, oh, dude, we fucked up hard. Oh, no, dude. Oh, dude.

I haven't been to that many racetracks. Here he comes. But usually when you, you don't turn around at the end of a track. No, definitely not. There's kind of like a run out and then there's another road to bring you back.

And I like the idea of it. It sounds fun. I mean, I like the idea of the U-turn thing, but also just don't come into the starting line at 100. I'm just imagining Ken going to a drag trip and then these guys are there and they start driving down when Ken's supposed to be going forward. I'm picturing Ken getting there and doing the same thing. He's like, I thought we had to race back. Look at the outside view of this, dude. You're going too fast. He's like, yeah, you're good. He's hauling.

What was his plan? Oh, no! And so he mentions the dirt patch. And he's like, I hit a dirt patch. That's why I couldn't stop. He was actually pretty close. If he was only doing like 120 instead of 150 and no dirt, I think he could have made it. At least they're still popping up their Instagram tags. I know. I love that. There's tags everywhere through this video. So, yeah.

Not good, but the good news is they did buy him a new Lamborghini in the next video. That's good. Wow. That's nice of them. That's kind of the move. It's like, yeah, get it fixed. Eh, new Lamborghini. Yeah. It's garbage. Wasn't this planned? Well, I enjoyed that, Ryan. That was good. They definitely didn't crash that thing in 140 planned. These guys aren't that crazy.

That's what I was saying. Based on their reactions and everything, it was not planned. They don't seem reckless per se. Dude, they don't have the balls. No one has the balls to do that. That fast, bro? Yeah. Basically, could have hit a post. Yeah, no kidding. Could have hit that Ferrari. Yeah, so please subscribe and come back next week for...

The next guy that I find that's an idiot on the internet. Fellow idiot on the internet. I'm looking forward to that. Yeah, same. But anyways, we got our friends Miller and Kyle here, fellow YouTubers. They're sitting in the background right now. You might as well hop on. So, originally, we met Miller. He was a filmer for Brayden Price for a while. We still actually have not met Brayden. And then, I believe, Kyle, you're good friends with him. And also...

kind of a fellow off-road YouTuber. And then you started filming for, Miller started filming for Chase and Haley, and then we went to the Florida Freedom Factory race and all had a really, really good time there. And we've been friends ever since. So it's good to have you guys there. So what do you guys got going on? You're doing like some kind of road trip across America? Yeah.

So many videos. That was the plan in the start of it. We were just like, let's go on a list. I got a Can-Am. Let's take both of them, drive across the state, just do like a really cool series with it. And then we like got a month out from it and we were like, okay, we're not planned at all. And so let's just, you know, try to go like halfway across. And then we were like, who's halfway across? And then you guys came up and... So are we the end or the beginning? So I would say you guys are kind of the end. We started it like...

I would say the trip started or we started talking when we were going out to Utah back in February. Or last February we went to Utah and we were like, man, this would be really cool to bring the side-by-sides out here. Because we went in the wintertime, we went snowboarding and snowmobiling for the first time, which was an awesome experience. So are you guys still planning to go to Utah on this trip? So on this trip, I would say this is the end of our trip. But now we're like thinking, okay, this is what it takes to do a trip like this. This was kind of like the feeler. Test run. Yeah, exactly, the test run. And making it...

you know, okay, now we know what we want to do, where we want to go for the future trip. And that would be, you guys filming videos together or for your own separate channels together? How's this going over the trip? We've discovered that like,

If I want to do like a certain video, they help me a little bit. Oh, that's smart. So you don't have the same video twice. Exactly. Yeah. And it helps that we have more than one person for each vlog and we kind of bounce off each other pretty well. And so actually it's three of us going on this trip. So it's me, Miller, and actually my little brother, Luke. He is my filmer and editor. So having the three of us to just kind of bounce off each other for whosoever video it might be that we're working on. Right.

just makes so much more sense than, like, okay, we're going to both film this and see who creates a better video out of it. Right, yeah. Because you've kind of been in the YouTube game for a while now, Miller, haven't you? Yeah, I've been. Like, how many years? As a filmer or, like, myself even? Just doing it, man. Like, you were, because you were with Brayden for a while, weren't you? Yeah, I started Brayden in 2019, and it just kind of happened on a whim, actually. I didn't even know I wanted to be an editor for a YouTube channel before.

And I met this dude at a truck meet and he was like, hey, how can I use my camera and all this stuff? And I helped him out. Braden Price was asking you that? No, no, no. One of his friends was actually. Yeah, no, Braden came up to me. But no, one of his friends, really good friends was, and he was just learning how to do camera stuff. And I was like, yeah, I'll help you out. Like just showed him how to use his camera and about...

four months later he called me he's like hey I know you're really good with cameras my buddy's looking for an editor do you think you'd want to be in it and I was like do you think you want to you know do it and I was like I'd give it a shot and so I kind of met up with Brayden then and I would go up to his house for a week work go home for a week kind of like part-time and then in early 2020 I moved down to Charlotte full-time so you just live there and just edit videos for him do we fit I film full-time because he posts a lot of videos so like what's that what's like that kind of

At first, we would try to do two a week, and we didn't really know how we wanted to schedule it. He was at 600K when I joined, and we were just trying to figure stuff out.

We got to meet the Guggen Squad, the guys who fish and everything. We went there. Yeah, Andrew Flair, all of them. We flew out to Texas to collaborate with them, and we watched them do six videos in a day. Really? We were like, all right. Six videos in a day? How is that possible? Dude, they would go in. They're like six YouTubers, but they have a community channel. What they do is they all fly into Dallas, Texas for three days out of one month.

create so much content the last till the next month. And then, yeah, dude, they grind. They must have everything so planned out and a giant whiteboard and everything of like exactly times like plans. Like, and we were like, Oh dude, we're like, we're doing this wrong. And so we went back and I think for a little under a year we did every other day. Yeah. I remember he was posting so much. We posted so much. And I lived there full time with him and his parents house. And dude, we did, we grinded art.

Like asses out. It was crazy. That would have been miserable.

editing all those videos it was just me editing yeah so it looked like that it was just that was you yeah you ran everything as far as the back end went yeah no i everybody's always told me that that you were like dude you're the man behind the curtain kind of deal oh yeah you have to every editor is dude yeah it was uh it was a lot of grind and then we kind of slowed down we had a high we hired another editor because i was becoming more of a you know i'm

kind of like another character on there. And so we had another editor. That way I could film with Brayden because we have a great filmer response and stuff. I remember seeing this one video, which was it you or the other guy that got pranked by Brayden Price? He catfished one of you guys, didn't he? I actually did that to the other editor. Oh, you did that?

Dude, it was so bad. It went so far. Hold on. So I have questions about that now. So you pretended to be a girl and were full on sliding in his DMs? No, no. So we went to a bar. Brayden had just turned 21 and we went to the first bar. And this dude, Christian, he's an awesome dude. But we went to this bar and he was like just, you know, this waitress like seemed half interested in him. And so he left her.

He left her his number. And as soon as I saw him do that, I was like, oh, it clicked in my mind. I was like, oh, okay. So as we walked out, I downloaded a TextNow app and texted him off a fake number. I was like, this is going to be a great YouTube video. I've seen people do it before. Yeah, there's a whole show on it. Catfish and Beaver. Yeah, literally.

And so I texted him on off all week. Like I wasn't, it wasn't like weird. That was my next question is like, did this go on for months where you guys, did you have them sending dick pics, like saying I love you and stuff?

Like how far? No, it was just like very like just the usual girl like flirt. I'd imagine, you know, and so he was buying it, dude. He was all he was so and he came in the work the next day. He's like, do that girl text me. Dude was hyped about it. It was so funny. So it went on for a week. We left work on Friday. I was like, hey, man, you got any plans this weekend? He's like, yeah, I mean, this girl might hang out. No way.

And about halfway through, I told Brayden. Brayden freaked out, thought it was the funniest thing ever. He was like, oh, dude. So he didn't even know about it for a little while. No, he didn't even know about it. And so I was like, I didn't want to bring everybody in and it just be everybody against him because I feel like that hurt a little bit more. But man, I texted him on that Saturday morning. Apparently, he went to a party, like a frat party up in Greensboro, which is like two hours away.

And he was partying all day long. And so I texted him. I didn't even know he was doing this. I didn't even know his plans. And I was like, hey, you want to catch a movie in the town we live in? And he was like, yeah, sure. Yeah, I'll be down there. Just like seven work because I'm out of town right now. I was like, oh, crap. But I can't go back now. And so he drove an hour and a half to meet this girl for a movie. He gets there. Dude's been partying all day long.

And he's, like, covered in, like, booze. And, like, his shorts are, like, soaked from, like, just partying really hard. Yeah, full-blown, like, party. Yeah, full-blown. Yeah, shows up, stuff on his neck. Like, dude has been partying all day long. Okay. And he shows up, and he's standing outside waiting for it. And meanwhile, I'm in my car, hunkered down. Just by himself waiting for some hot chicks. Oh, yeah, on the movie. And did you bring anyone? Did you bring anyone else? Yeah, no, I brought my family and my family's friends. Your family? Yeah.

Yeah, I brought my family. It was a big moment. My family, they were already in town. And so I was like, hey, you guys want to go punk my friend? I've been trolling him. I thought you were going to say that. No, I FaceTimed Brady at the same time. So I run up with the camera and I also recorded on my phone for Snapchat because, you know, you have to have both angles.

And so he runs up and he's like, Hey dude, what are you doing here? I have no idea. And I was like, Hey, Hey Christian. I'm like, I'm sorry, man. And he's like, what do you, what do you mean? Like I'm supposed to meet the Sarah girl here. I was like, bud, like, come on. And he goes,

no, no, you gotta be, you gotta be messing with me. I was like, bro, he was like, but he took it really well. He just started dying laughing. That's a good way to take it. Yeah. You could have really put that like the far way and just like got an episode of MTV and everything. He hoped that you were just trolling him for a quick sec. You're like, no, I am messing with you and I have been for a long time.

Yeah, no, he took it well, and everybody was like, dude, that's messed up. And I was like, he thought he was a good sport about it. There's certain people you can't do that to, and they get more offended. Right. I could never conjure up a prank like that. I know you could. I know Ben could. I'm a prankster, and Ben is too. I think that one might have been too far. I'm glad I didn't hang around you, Bill. You're a savage, man. I was about to do it again to someone else.

You're a catfish, bro. You're a catfish. No, but then I was like, okay, I took it too far last time. Let me not do it again. But Kyle's actually really good at pranks. He's pranked me a few times on this trip. And it's just like the good, genuine, like... Yeah. So let's rewind a little bit here. So you started off doing YouTube as an editor. You were just full-time editing. Yeah. And then...

now have made the switch where you're doing your own thing. Yeah. I mean, I did it for a while, like off and on probably since like 2017, like off and on to try to do a moto vlog channel. Like, you know how they, you know, all those big moto vloggers and stuff. That was a big wave of YouTube. I tried that for a little while. And now as it was kind of dying out, like full again, all those guys, I was always watched those guys. And so I was like,

I'll try. I had a Grom. I'll do that for a little while. I tried that and then tried to do some car content and then tried to do some video, photo stuff. And then I found with Brayden and as soon as I saw Brayden and how he could tell a story, I was like, oh, this is kind of cool. So you learned something. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I learned a lot from just being around the world. Right. It's definitely easier being surrounded by people that do it. This is like, I guess you'll get a little plug, but you guys got to check out Miller's Instagram page just because it is amazing.

Just beautiful. It's just the three. It just looks so good and just stuff like that. I mean, you definitely are more refined in that aspect. But like, I don't know. I just, I literally go to your Instagram page every once in a while just to like go, ah, this looks so good. The aesthetic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I've been doing photo and video for a long time and, you know, just trying to grow as a freelance photographer. And so I just really wanted to have a really aesthetically pleasing Instagram and stuff. And then you kind of made the switch. So you were, I got to imagine you were probably,

Getting paid pretty well being an editor for Brayden, especially being that you were working your ass off. Yeah, there's a lot of long nights and a lot of long days for sure. So then what made you want to leave them or leave him? After a while, Brayden's been a really, really good friend, and I'm going to try to like... You guys are still tight? We're still tight, yeah. We still were really good friends, and of course, when I left, it was a little bit of like a... A tension? A little bit of tension, yeah. And so...

I, I really wanted to travel more and I really wanted to do stuff more car scene. We're doing so much mudding, so much, you know, dirt bikes. And I was like, I started out doing a lot of car stuff and I was like, I'd really like to, you know, get back into the motorsports kind of thing. And so, and travel more and see everything. Cause with Brayden, he's got this really tight grip on doing everything local, doing everything. You know, he's got a really good way in process of just filming at his house. Like he can go out and ride for 15 minutes behind his house and,

and make a crazy video, you know, like full video, full video. Yeah. Full 15. Yeah.

But like, and he just goes and does, you know, does, you know, that mud hole does the pond does, you know, riding pit bikes, like just right there local, which is a really gift. Like it's a really big gift for him. Like he can just film it. He doesn't have to go out. I'd say like to an extent we are similar in that way. We can always make, it's the same vibe, you know, like if we can get together in our backyard, we're always going to be happy and make a good video. But I feel like the thing that sets you guys apart is there's,

now six of you so for you guys to go jump in and do something if you did it for 10 minutes from six angles or six perspectives there's six people jumping in it's going to produce so much more content than just one single person doing sure that definitely helps too i think that's

Six brains. Exactly. What makes your content and your channel work so well because there is a group of you. And I know you've been told that so many times. As long as you keep your group together, you guys are always going to be something so different. We appreciate it. The beauty of traveling too. Like, yeah, well, we got the boys. We know it's going to be good. The only thing I wish is that we could film a full YouTube video in 15 minutes.

That's what I'm saying. We'd be pumping these things out. Yeah, we would like... He was like, all right. I was like, what do you want to do today? He'd be like, all right, we'll go take... We'll throw a different set of tires on this one. Like, we'll go throw big tires on it or small tires and then just like go and film that for like 30 minutes, 30 to 45 minutes. You'd have a full video. Editing. And people love it, dude. Yeah, people eat it up. He's got a very good like, you know, cult following for that and just...

I mean, it works for them. It really works for them. And then it was just becoming really routine for me. And I was like, you know, Haley and Chase came into the thing and we came, we became really, really good friends. And I was doing a little side work for them at the time. And they were like, Miller, would you like, want to join like full time? Like Chase and Haley did. Yeah. Chase and Haley. They're like, would you, I mean, when we could afford it, like we'd really like to have you on. Just for the people at home. Right. Yeah. Haley Deegan and her boyfriend, Chase, uh, really good friends of mine. And,

And they're like, when we can afford it, we'll pay you. That'd be sick because we all got along really, really well. Yeah. Then you'd get to travel around. Travel around, get to the NASCAR stuff. Her family was really awesome. So when they asked this, were they at all like, I guess if I was to go approach a filmer for another YouTube channel, I'd be a little bit like,

I know we're stepping on feet here, but would you, what did they like realize that they were that? And I was like, honestly, at that time I was like a little over, like a little ready for some change. I was like, I felt very stagnant and like, and like in the, in the beginning I was like, you always have to level up. You can only grow as big as your environment, that kind of deal. And I was like, this might be like, I'll make a lot of good connections this way. And I was like, I was honestly ready to like change up something either way, whether it be them or not.

And so, because I'd asked, you know, Brayden for, you know, a little bit more or like, I was like, dude, I've been with you for a long time. Like, you know, he's a really good friend and it's like, it's hard to work for your friend and stuff like that. So, and especially with having another employee on there, it was just like,

It was very stagnant. I was like, all right, I'm ready to change regardless of who it is to or just try to level up. Would you be uploading the video to his channel too? I did everything. You'd upload it and everything like that? I'd film it. I'd edit it, upload it.

i'd create clips of it i'd post on his instagram so when you would upload it i'm sure you were kind of like seeing the ad like the ad rev of 28 days and you're just like fuck this dude i should be doing this yeah is that what you were thinking because that's what i would it was yeah and he had always said like whenever i make more you'll make more and i was like all right that's like that'll be sick like he was like when we reach this level you'll reach this level and i was like sick and he kind of like it kind of didn't go that way and so i was like all right well do you gonna like are we

Right. Well, to be fair though, in Braden's defense, I mean, he had been doing it for a long time. Oh yeah. Yeah. Cause I remember watching his videos when I was trying to figure out how to kind of do YouTube and he would have his GoPro and just do wheelies and stuff. Who was the buddy? Julius. Julius. Yeah. Is he still in the picture? Yeah. He's all, we're all really good friends with him. That's cool. But I remember watching him when he was like a little kid, he was on like a one 50. Yeah. And I was like, man, this is, this guy's like doing his thing, you know? And, uh, definitely like,

watched him and took some inspiration from him and put in uh what we're all doing you know oh yeah but yeah it makes sense why you'd why you'd look at that and be like ah you know i should do my own thing yeah i love doing it i love doing right you know youtube and everything like that and so

it was just really cool i mean i was just like all right i if i can i might be able if i had a little more time i could do it right but you were fully tapped i was i could not i could not have a breath like without like i was always thinking brain and not do this i was taking right well you have to yeah oh yeah you were doing a great job yeah whenever i joined hailey and chase i had a little bit more free time i had a little bit more like creative free like free like to input them with them and

and stuff like that. So it was really cool joining them and their dynamic. It was so different than Brayden's. It was like content, content, content. Whereas Haley and Chase were like

let's have a good time and do content. Right. Yep. And that's what, it was cool seeing you work for them, do their stuff, work on their stuff, but then also like pump out videos on your own. And it was cool that there was a lot different than what they were putting it out. Obviously, cause I've seen that happen too. Like if, if they're allowed the filmer to like do their own thing, they're just putting out the same content. So that was cool. Yeah. So,

So how about you, Kyle? When did you start YouTubing? So ironic. And how did it start? I mean, you guys got like a whole squad of YouTubers in like a 30 minute. Cause obviously you got you Miller, uh, Brayden, Haley and Chase. You guys all live within like a 30 minute or about an hour away from each other. So ironically two years ago. So September 9th was the first time I posted a video two years ago. So I'm just hitting the two year mark. Um,

I'm coming up on 150,000 subscribers, which is, you know, honestly for a two year channel, not bad. I agree. That's good. But I do have a lot of people to thank for that. And Brady would definitely be one of them. So,

obviously your friend Zach goes you know him yeah um I grew up kind of watching Zach goes and his buddy Cody Chaney who was WC yeah he moved yeah I used to live in South Jersey and I knew who they were and I followed Cody on snapchat but I didn't really like realize I followed him because of his he's an arborist he does tree work so I've always followed him because of that so I moved down to Charlotte North Carolina in 2018 I'm down there for a year I'm finishing out school and I'm kind of just doing my thing working a lot and

And I mean, I grew up riding. That's what I did in Jersey. There's so much riding there. And so I moved to North Carolina and I kind of lost that like output. Like that was my hobby. That was my thing. And I lost it. And so one day I see on Cody's story, he had moved down there. I was like, oh, that's cool. Like he rides the streets. I ride trails. Like I would never cross paths with him. But then that is funny that he moved down there right when you decided to get into it. Because watching him for a second, we watched him do wheelies all the time. And then I'm like, I don't mean to offend anybody. I'm just like.

damn dude he's mudding now yeah the hell so i see that he's down there one day he just puts on a story like hey anybody local want to ride he's like i got these cool trails so i stood up on the story i was like hey dude i'm in charlotte like do you want to ride or like i'll come ride with you and so i was so busy with work there was i would talk to him here and there it wouldn't really ever work out one week i just had a free weekend and i was like hey dude let's ride saturday he's like okay cool like

how old are you and what do you ride? And at the time, I didn't grasp that concept. And now being a YouTuber, I get it because everybody always reaches out and like, oh, I've got an XR100. I'm 14, let's ride. And it's like, I mean, you want to ride with like-minded people and like skilled people. I was like, oh, I think I was in

20 at the time i was like oh i'm 20 and i've got a kx450 he's like okay cool here's my number and my address like how far you know i was like 40 minutes from him or something so anyway fast forward i get in me and him literally click like brothers and you were filming youtube videos at the time i wasn't doing anything i just i had maybe 500 instagram followers you know i was nothing was he on a bike as well yeah so he had a yz125 i had my kx and me and him just started riding and it was a march

It was March when we met and we rode every weekend. We became best friends. So that's where you got your insight because you were like, hey, you made videos. How was it? So that was my first step into it. And he told me like at that point, I didn't realize he had a huge Instagram or YouTube. Like I just met him and then learned about this, which I'm so happy I did because it wasn't like I was following him like, oh, I hang out with this cool person.

So he's telling me about how he does all or how he used to do these videos with Zach Coos. And I had seen some of his videos before. And I was like, well, dude, why don't you do them anymore? Like you've got perfect content for this. You've got all these trails, all this cool stuff. And he was like, yeah, I mean, I don't know. Maybe it's just kind of hard to do it by yourself. I'm like, well, I'm here. I'll film or film me like bounce off each other. And so I wasn't doing it because I want to do it. I just I liked watching the videos and seeing myself in them and being a little bit of a part of them.

So fast forward, that starts going on. He posted a few videos and then people were commenting and saying, oh, you should go ride with Brayden Price. And people are going on Brayden's channel and saying, oh, you should ride with Cody. And Miller actually... I saw one of the comments. Yeah. He knew who Cody was and he had watched Cody forever. Right. So...

in what was it probably may i think early may yeah um i kind of got cody in a certain ride four wheelers because i had a i had a can am and he was funny he went you have a little bit of credit for that yeah so so me and him were doing our thing and brady comes and film or you know comes right with us and they're filming i'm kind of like

Not starstruck, but like, wow, this is. So that was your first time meeting Brayden. That was the first time meeting Brayden. Although I grew up, or not grew up. I moved 10 minutes from where he grew up and lived. I went to the same high school my senior year as him. Never met him in high school. I met him two years after I graduate and all this stuff. Then, so anyway, do that thing with Cody. We film with them. We end up getting in contact. I started talking to Brayden and realizing that we live like 10 minutes away from each other. Obviously, we've got a similar interest.

So I started to hang out with them and be friends with them and starting to do stuff with them. I'm still doing a little stuff with Instagram and now my, or I'm sorry, still doing stuff with Cody and my Instagram starting to kind of pop off and grow. And then now I'm starting to get more involved in Braden's videos and I'm getting more involved in Cody's videos and his Instagram and just back and forth. And people are just seeing this person. It's like sending everything and having a great time and just,

Honestly, I was. You always are like there for fun. Exactly. Like whenever I've been around you and you're filming, you're like there for fun first. Yep. Filming second, which probably also comes being like, cause YouTube's kind of your secondary job, isn't it? And you, I've asked you multiple times, like, why don't you just go all in, but you don't really want to. Obviously I would love to go full on in YouTube, but it is a hobby. And I feel like that's what keeps my content like real.

I don't treat it like a job at all. The filming and the editing is done. I pay my little brother, ironically, to do all that stuff, and he does a phenomenal job at it. But since I have that disconnect from it and I'm just there to make the content, it makes... Yeah, that bond really stays. But you're not really relying on the money either. Exactly. So if it goes great or if it goes bad, it doesn't affect my mood towards YouTube. I just do it because at the end of the day, in 20 years, I want to look back and be like, oh, these are all the... Watch your videos. Exactly. That'd be pretty cool, dude.

and pass on the stories like oh man this is stuff like when I was little I used to hang out with Haley Deegan or you know I've gone to these races and met Ryan Deegan or Travis Pastrana or Adam LZ or these different huge YouTubers that I would have just never imagined that I would have been able to meet or you guys I mean hell I would have if you asked me two years ago would I be on a Seaboys podcast right now I would have never imagined in a million years I'd have right and I mean and it's cool like hey hearing how you started and this and that but like

I just associate you with Brayden. I know there's a lot of, as far as numbers go, a lot of difference, but I just do. And I think that's cool. I'm like, oh yeah, Kyle. Yeah. He's a YouTuber from North Carolina. So, so Brayden did give me my start and you know, a lot of people were like, oh, what's your YouTube channel? Cause down there everybody had their little YouTube channel. It's like, it seems like everyone's got a channel. They do. And that's cool. Which is a good and bad thing. I think.

I don't see that as a problem. It can be a problem. If everyone's copying each other, is that something that you got to be worried about? Sort of. And I would say that's what kind of gave... So anyway, Brayden... I was on Brayden's channel. Everybody's like, well, what's your YouTube channel? I was like, I don't have one. And more people are asking and asking and asking. Just in the background, just being content, just being himself, just being an addition to videos.

and people love them so much, they're like, "Start a channel, start a channel." - So I asked Braden about it, 'cause I wasn't trying to step on toes. I didn't have that interest, and I didn't have the capacity to edit the videos. I'm not a computer person. And so, you know, everybody's asking all this stuff, and Braden's like, "Dude, honestly, you're really good on camera. "You know how to talk, you are entertaining, "you keep it flowing." There's a lot of people that try to do YouTube, like, they just fizzle out real quick 'cause they're boring, or they can only be so interested in so much.

And so I was like, yeah, but that doesn't really solve the editing issue. And then Luke, my little brother, goes, dude, do YouTube. Like, I've been editing YouTube videos all, like, for the past few years, which I didn't know he used to make gaming videos. Oh, really? Yeah, Luke's a really good editor, dude. We're going to steal him from you. Has he always made, like, from kind of day one? Like, have you ever...

dabbled in it or has this always been? Listen, I barely know how to download the footage onto the computer. I swear. I mean, again, I think that's... I think it's awesome that you two are like doing your thing like together. I was happy when you called me and were like, yeah, we're going on a trip and like we're both filming and stuff. Because I've always pushed for you. I'm like, dude, you...

Well, I know you are doing it, but I was like, you should too. Like, go, like, actually go hard, you know? Because, like you say, you're doing this just strictly as a hobby. Because I think you guys both have, like, a lot of potential. You know? Like, you could be big. Like, really big. I guess that's the only thing that I'm scared of is if I go full time, I'm scared my content's going to seem forced. Like...

Like I need to record. Honestly, I don't really have a schedule. I might upload once a week. I might upload every two weeks. And I know that sounds terrible. I know I'm kind of missing the opportunity a little bit. There was what you said last night. There's a happy medium between you. Like, okay, so if I go all in, am I going to go all in on side-by-side content? Is that going to be it? And you're like, that's what kind of scares me. It's like, then it's just like...

driving a side-by-side gonna be my only job obviously making youtube videos or i kind of feel once you go all in you want it to be more than that yeah and that backs up to like you're saying oh you associate me with brayden and there's not anything wrong with that but so after the whole brayden thing happened he told me to start a channel me and him were kind of bouncing off each other i mean that helped i skyrocketed 10 000 subscribers like that like i don't know and i'll

a month maybe which most people two videos yeah one or two videos like that the first 10 000 is usually the hardest you know so thankful to have that kind of bump and start but i quickly realized especially with some of the other small youtubers around us you know that are way smaller everybody gets associated with brayden and i wanted to make my own name for myself and so that's what i quickly like i brayden was doing the four-wheeler stuff

I wanted to get into the side-by-side stuff and get myself separated, separate from that. And just not, you definitely did that early enough. I forget who said it when we met in Florida, like,

They were like, oh, Kyle's like, he's burned tires off side-by-side guy. And they didn't say it like that. The chaos guy. But it was like, yeah. Break everything guy. But they specifically referred to you as like, because you love doing donuts on tar. Oh, yeah. Because the X3 just... The clip of Kyle endoing the X3 is...

Pretty gnarly. I had a 2021 Can-Am X3 and last December I ended up totaling it. You have the video? Yeah, I have the video. What happens when you total something like that? I had it fully street legal. I had full-blown insurance on it. I was talking to Ben out front this morning when we were unloading the side-by-sides and I was getting ready to run to town. He was like,

you guys drive these things a lot and i was like yeah i mean he's like what are you driving like every few days and i was like i mean probably once a week i said a lot of it's off camera though because it's like our fun thing to go do like we'll go ride side by sides around the trail and then i'll stay at cody like me and cody still are very good friends we'll go ride side by sides i'll stay at his house and we'll go out on the boot the next day because he lives right by the lake like that's our thing and a lot of that never gets recorded we

I think we literally went to Starbucks, got coffee, and then we stopped at Target and got something. Miller was kind of cruising behind on the pit bike, and we were just cutting through a field one day, and we found this little jump, and we were all hitting it one way. So that's Cody in the gray side-by-side, and then I'm on the blue one. No helmets. Exactly, but we were just street riding that day. Do you have a helmet on? I typically always wear a helmet. Yeah, I was going to say you usually do. Unfortunately, I didn't want to preface it, but obviously it happens.

cats out of the bag no helmet scary as frick listen you saw the jumps we were hitting in Florida you know the jumps you hit the major jumps and you know the jumps you guys hit here and I'm looking at this little gap I'm like oh I got this like I'm just kind of doing the math quick in my head I'm like oh I got this but I didn't think about how short the lip was the landing was fine the gap wasn't huge

but the lip was way too short, so it bucked me, and I nosedived in here. Just film it. I'm glad he told her to get out, dude. Holy shit. Cut. Oh. So that first impact isn't what hurt me. I remember that.

It was that second impact upside down. I got pushed up out of the seat and I had a seatbelt on, but I didn't have harnesses on. So I got pushed up out of the seat and then that second impact launched me backwards and I smacked my head on the roll bar. Ended up getting 10 staples. Oh my gosh, dude. You got knocked out? Mm-hmm.

Oh, yeah. We ran up to him. That was a hell of a head hit there. Hell of a concussion from that. Yeah, the rest of this clip is us running up, and Kyle's, like, the side-by-side's on its side, and Kyle's just laying there in, like, blood, literally running out of his head. Leaking out of his head. And me and her running over there were like, oh, he might be dead. We were running up to him. No, like, it was that loud and that dramatic, like, right then and there, and it was just like, oh, my gosh. I'd never witnessed it so, like, so close before. I went back about...

Probably four or five days later and there's a sizable little pool of blood dried into the cement there. So where we ride in this clip is actually an abandoned golf course. So we cruise around on the cart pass and drift around. That's pretty sick. It's an awesome place to go. I was out of work for all of December last year, um,

I had a very bad concussion from that. So it was a whole month? I kind of, and so that's the thing. I work for myself. I'm a remodeling contractor. So I kind of schedule my workout already. So I was waiting for you to say that you're, he, Kyle's been looking around the shop, like wondering, asking like, like builder questions. And you definitely know your shit as far as that goes, but it's just funny. We'll walk into any door and he's like, well, if he,

I'm getting ready to fix your bathroom door because it was pissing me off earlier. Go ahead. I'm going to. I'm going to. I got to find some screws first. You got any of those around? We did. Actually, the Dollar General store over there. Also, you were helpful last night. We started. Oh, my gosh. So we thought the razor was fine. It's been great. It.

has not broken yet. You should go grab that hub. Yeah, I should. Until we started jumping it on the track, everything was good. And then, you know, the CVs went out. And then I don't know really what happened in this translation, but Evan replaced the CVs, and then the bearing just non-existent anymore. And the wheel was...

latched onto the rig pretty tight, and yet you could move the whole thing. Yeah. And so we started fixing that. I was showing Ben and Ryan that this morning, and so he's like... I think Ben was like, how does that even happen? And I was like, well...

The wheel bearings start to go and you're like, we'll change them soon. Then you keep jumping it. We should change it. We'll get to it later. You keep going and keep going. Eventually, this is what happens. We walk in and Mike is jacking this thing up. He's like, I think a wheel bearing is out.

And I went over to it. It was gone. Yeah, I went over to it and wiggled it just a little bit. I was like, oh, it's not. And then it kept going. And I was like, you've taken these lug nuts off, right? And he's like, no, no, everything's tight still. Yeah. That was the worst part, too, is that I'm like, well, we should probably fix the side-by-side now that you guys are coming. And then it's like, you guys get here, and then I'm like literally just jacking it up. Literally, I was jacking it up. As we were pulling up, he's starting to jack it up.

And then you guys are like, oh, you're just trying to get this fixed. And you're like, what are you guys doing? Yeah. Oh, goodness. It was the equivalent of like putting a tire on, putting one lug nut on just like a half a thread. And then shake the tire or drive with it. But everything was fully tight. And yeah, that was rough. I asked them, how does this even happen? And they go, because you guys don't maintenance anything. Yeah.

You guys are what have it. You're the problem. You're like the Spider-Man meme where everybody's like, point at each other. You fix it. That's true. We're going to have Miller editing. We're going to have Luke editing. And then we're going to have Kyle sending

Sending and fixing all of our stuff. You guys aren't going to be able to leave. Including the building. Send in service. We're going to slash all our tires so we can't literally leave. So he'll be photography and video. He'll be editing and then I'll just be sending and servicing.

And we'll pay you guys in Uncrustable PB&Js. Perfect. Those are my favorites. You guys will be dialed. The grape ones. You could probably get him with McDonald's. We ain't got McDonald's out here. I think that's... Sorry, buddy. Uncrustable PB&Js. In a roundabout way, obviously, it's a good compliment. We'd be a powerhouse. We really would. Why do you guys just got to live in the middle of nowhere? I know. That was my next question. So being...

you know, Miller, you were a full-time YouTube editor. Yeah. What do we got to do to get a YouTube editor, full-time guy in here in house helping us out so that we can continue to, to expand and grow and make more videos and better videos and all that. Like, what do we got to do? Oh man. I mean, I'm right here, but no, you're trying to do your own thing now. Yeah. I'm trying to do my own thing. And I, I, it's been contemplated in my head. Like,

am I ready for that yet? I'm just hitting 90 K and I'm like, can I afford to like, even, you know, right. You basically went from a full time job. Yeah. As funny as it is working for a YouTuber and now you're going into the unsure thing. Yeah. Right now I'm like halfway in between like, all right, am I sending this? Like,

should I just commit or should I just try to find a job and then, or like not a job, but like try to find a YouTube channel to edit for and then do stuff on the side till I grow a little bit bigger till I can justify it. So I'm like,

halfway in between both of those right now but i don't know you gotta just send it man you think that's what i think i feel like the hardest thing for you guys to find an editor is nobody's ever gonna edit the way that you are seeing and portraying the video in your head before you ever edit it and that's what we're worried about that's a big thing because with brayden my editing style was his videos like was that was how he taught me to edit because i was i was his first editor and

And so that's how I learned to edit and I could learn how to edit his style. And then when I went to Haley and Chase, I totally had to switch up how I edited and how I did and everything. And so me and Chase would half videos and sometimes he'd have to go in and fix my part just because he wasn't out of the way. And it wasn't exactly how he envisioned it in his head, which no problem to me because I mean, I just didn't know. But like, you just got to find someone to learn how.

exactly how you want it. So then here's a wild fact that most people don't know. I usually don't watch my YouTube videos until they've been posted for about an hour. Really? I swear. Luke will post them. Because to me, it's Luke's YouTube channel almost. You're just the feature on it, huh? I'm just financing it. I'm literally just financing the YouTube and creating the content and making the connections and he does everything.

Absolutely. All the YouTube. And that's what he loves. That's what his. I don't think it's the craziest thing ever. This is probably an abrasive thing to say, but I don't listen. I mean, definitely watch all our videos. Try to watch them multiple times, but like I don't listen to our podcasts.

unless I was like, that was really fun. I mean, I definitely go back, but I can't listen to the full one because I was like, I lived it or I watched it. I'm the opposite. I listen and watch it before it even goes out. For sure. And if there's any other thing before it goes out, but yeah, it's like once it's out, I'm like, I love like reading the comments and reminiscing back on it. But then when I watch it, I was like,

I don't know why. Yeah, it's just it's kind of like maybe not ideal, but I definitely go back and watch anything that's super funny. I got to see. I guess I probably do the same thing because I love reading the comments. It's honestly my favorite thing to do. And I guess it just shows the trust that I have for what Luke has envisioned for the video. And yeah, there's times where I'm like, I want to put that clip in. It might look a little embarrassing or it wasn't a good one or this or that. And I'm just like.

I don't care. Like my mentality towards life is just like, I don't care what people think. I'm just, I'm, I'm here. I'm doing me. It's a great way to live it. No, definitely. If I had to describe you, I would describe you that way too. Like I, I can, I can appreciate that. And so I think that's another thing that just makes my videos seem so almost wrong in a way where they're not fabricated, which there's,

great great benefits of having a fabricated video you can make them in 20 minutes or it's just wrong you know you gotta film all day and it's just whatever you're doing during the day and then you know compress it into a 10 minute film which i think locates because it's paying the ass to edit but yeah definitely and uh it's a great variety and i mean obviously it's it's working there's definitely ways that it can be improved and you know my channel could grow significantly if i'd hammer down a little bit

I don't know. Life's short. I don't want to. That's not what you're even trying to do. Exactly. There's so many different approaches, like legit so many. And there's not really a right or wrong one. There's some that get more retention. There's some that get more loves, more of a called audience, more money, but there's no right or wrong way to do it.

which is a good and bad thing. This is really love and hate with all of YouTube and all of videos and all of content creating in general, which is really funny for you to say. Cause some of the videos that I either invest a lot of time, a lot of money or a lot of effort into sometimes fall on their face. And then I'm so pissed about it. And I'm just like,

That's why I just step back and I don't care. In a way. I see Luke. It's funny because the YouTube scale is backwards. Videos are a 1 out of 10. That's a great thing. Most people think 1 out of 10 is the worst thing in the world. It's backwards for YouTube on their rating scale. It's number 1 out of the most recent 10. Exactly. Luke will post a video. Maybe it does...

you know, eight out of 10, which is at the bottom of the scale. And he's like bumming about it and freaking out. And just so like, I just put all this effort and time into it. Yeah. It's almost harder on the editor, I think. Oh, absolutely. And where it's like, if it does great, awesome. I love it. Yeah. It doesn't do great. You don't really seem to care. I don't.

I'm not going to get anything from getting offended. You guys have been watching. So you mentioned you've been watching our videos for a long time. So you watched them before you met us? No. I watched your, I would say right about the time I got my Mavericks, about a year and a half ago, I started watching you all. And then so when we first met in Florida, I'd been watching you guys for probably a solid year. Miller, you've been watching. It's been almost two years then. I've been watching you all.

Probably since the early shifter cart days on like the ice and stuff like that. And just following along, like my buddy introduced me or introduced me to the shifter cart on ice video a while back. And one of those early videos where y'all had the old shop, like y'all were just doing like little stuff, like, you know, doing the cutout on the first X3 that y'all had, like just a whole bunch of old stuff.

And I just watched, you know, occasionally for a long time. And then I guess up until I got back, back into youth, like big into YouTube with Brayden, I was just like, is every video. And yeah, it was really cool. It's really cool to come up here and just be a part of that too. We were, we were going to answer common, the comment section questions, this podcast, which we forgot to do, or I don't know what happened. Uh, we didn't do those. Uh,

But did you guys have any, I guess, any good questions that maybe being that you are somewhat outsiders? I mean, we're friends, but we only get to see each other like once, twice a year. So I was asking Ben kind of before you guys started the podcast. I feel like merch is possibly my next step.

And I'm getting like, I never want to start too early where I was just like trying to push something where I'm, you know, what are you selling 20 units maybe? And it's like, is it really worth the time? I feel like I can easily have the infrastructure to do it myself slash kind of do it in house, you know, maybe where I'm just having the shirts made ship to me and shipping them back out.

But I also really want to come up with a good brand. I don't want to just slap Kyle Cullen on a shirt. It's just... You want to do like a brand. I love your guys' merch. And there's a handful of other people. I really love their merch where it's just... You would wear it anywhere. You don't feel like...

Yeah. Like you're saying heydays. People at heydays wear these vulgar shirts because it's like the only place they can wear it. The time and the place for it, yeah. Yeah, the time and the place. I don't want somebody to only wear a Kyle Cullen shirt at a riding park or whatever. I want somebody to like really want to wear my shirts wherever or whatever. So you're saying you want to get a brand, not necessarily feel as merchy, which nowadays I feel like pretty much you have to. It seems like with the merch, a lot of people are –

or brand, you know, when you're a YouTuber and you're pushing the shirts or whatever, any kind of clothing, seems like everyone's trying to push some kind of brand, like what you're saying. I mean, you thinking that is just... You could do both, though. You could still start with Kyle Cullen, but then you could also kind of start...

you know, branching into, you know, maybe you come up with a, a good just brand that can stand for something bigger than, I guess, just your name, you know? And so we've, I've got a few ideas and even Miller gave me a really good one that was just fit my style really well.

And I guess it's just, I need to take that first step. I just need to do it, see how it goes. And I bet you'd do great, dude. It's either going to do great or it's going to show me, it's going to give me a reality check and just do it yourself. Get, get the merch, have, have,

Find someone who can design it, get it made, and then just ship it out in-house. Start in-house. Keep it small. Hey, Micah, you want to design me some shirts? No, he can't even have time. I don't like to have time. You're trying to steal Luke. I do love, exactly. Listen, trade off for a week. Okay. Luke seems nice, but I got to keep Mike.

I love, I mean, also the sturdy mindset of being like, I don't want to start too early because if I could get anyone any advice as far as early channel, like don't start too early on merch. It just don't. It's not worth it. I mean, I'm talking like that. You got like little kids that are like, I got a thousand. I got a thousand subscribers on YouTube. I'm going to start merch. I'm like, just focus on your video. I'm like, just keep crushing videos because like it's.

common sense. No one's going to want really. But yeah, so I think you're definitely at a point where people and another, this is like just a thing I've thought about. You know, we do like our merch shops, a whole line of stuff. It's like also if you've never done merch, which you

you so you've never i've never done anything so then that's where you can wear everybody else's merch for all my videos which is to send you some stuff i don't think you should do any shirt for every billboard for z-boy i do rep a few of your shirts and i always get comments oh yeah oh i love the z-boy okay i love the z-boy shirt i love your c you guys you watch z-boys you know stuff like that so that's nice but that's when you will be able to get away with um

just quite literally doing your name and definitely make it cool definitely make it something you love and then you'll be like dang I actually saw a lot of those that's that first influx of never having done merch and then people wanting it and then from there you can go okay cool you know I got some sales and people are interested then you're like let's let's think of a brand yeah although I guess a really hard launch on it all would be would be a good thing too I'd say definitely just like try to do it right you know

and work like definitely you're gonna have to put work in but it'll be worth it if you can you know build something that you're proud of and true like if you like it I'd say right there then there then you're good to send it some people they get like like there's steps to everything except A, B, C you know and you're definitely at the next step is merch in my personal opinion but like you're asking if you're skipping a step but you're not in my opinion I guess the one thing is I am

Pretty picky on whose merch I will wear. Like I said, I do get a lot of YouTubers that we've met. A lot of them give us merch and I've worn it or I will wear it. So I'm kind of particular on whose merch I will wear. So I feel like that makes me pretty particular on my own merch because if I'm going to be wearing it, then I want it to be cool. Yeah, just make it good. Just like YouTube videos. You want to always do the best you can. That's pretty much my only advice.

But, yeah. Hell yeah. I genuinely appreciate having you guys on. I'm glad you guys are making a little trip. You guys, like you said, when you first got on, you know how hard it is to plan something out like that when we did our RV trip. Trying to, like, we literally had every single day planned out, and it was...

Wildly stressful. It's so funny. Because you're on other people's schedules too. In a sense, you're on our schedule and you're on whoever else you just met up with on their schedule. But I'm really glad you guys could come through. Make it on the podcast. Tell a little bit about it. And we'll have to get together sometime at another...

Cletus race or something. That would be fun. That would just be kind of like, I would say may, we're going to do another road trip and probably hit out West and circle back. So I have to come on for, we'll have to come on for an update podcast in May. Perfect. All right guys. Well, thank you so much for listening.
