So we were just talking off camera. We've been trying to line up shipping prices to get our cars shipped from here to Denver and then from Las Vegas home because we're going to do a rally this summer with my car,

cj's gtr and then we're going to bring our sema truck with so i had this guy quote us a price to bring them to denver and then home from vegas fifteen thousand dollars i guess that's there and home from vegas fifteen thousand no it's too much but i wasn't even putting that in i don't know why i just wasn't thinking about the shipping back thing so that that is probably a pretty true rate but

That is steep. It makes sense at $5 a gallon for diesel. That's what he said. He was like, if you would have done it a year ago, it would have been $7,500. But because of where we're at right now with fuel prices, I can't do it for any less. And I was like, hey, man, I'm not holding that price against you. I'm just like...

looking at a lot of money. It's a lot of money for one video and to justify that just to get our cars there. That doesn't include, you know, everything else that goes with it. Food, all that. I was like, Oh man, that's a, be like a $22,000 video. And it,

I mean, it'd be a lot of fun. It would maybe be two videos, but that still wouldn't. It wouldn't be like a crazy video. Oh, it'd be crazy. I mean, it wouldn't go crazy like the SEMA truck duct tape tires. Like, that was four grand, which was an investment, but we knew that would kind of go viral. Right. So then when you go to the drawing board with that much money, basically, if you go to the drawing board with 15K, we can do a lot at home. Mm-hmm.

Or on our own with that. And not put 4,000 miles on Ben's Lamborghini. I don't know. I've never been on one of those rallies. It seems like you must have to have an exotic kind of to be even a part of it. They're pretty expensive to be on. The thing about most of the people that do those rallies is they're actually rich. He's probably like, what do you mean? You got a Lambo. What's another...

15 grand but it's different for us because like we buy things like lambos as in like a construction worker buys a new truck or a skid steer like it's a utility like no buddy who's gonna mess around in their yard with like limited amounts of money buys a brand new skid steer but homie who's doing dirt work buys a brand new skid steer it's like a tool yeah i'm not i don't have as much money as most people that own lamborghinis yeah exactly so i'm like that's a

That's a lot of money, man. If you're watching this right now and you have an enclosed trailer and you think you could bring...

Two nice cars. Not a shitty enclosed trailer. I don't want you just throwing these in like a snowmobile trailer. I think we want someone with insurance too. Yeah, I might as well go as far as, hey, if you transport cars, nice cars for a living and you think you could beat that rate, hit us up. It'd be great. Here to Denver and then Vegas to here. It was 15K for three vehicles. That's true. We all said this. That's a duse though. That drive back from Vegas to all the way to Cormorant. I mean, it's a long drive. Yeah. Because we were like, well, what if we just did it?

Somebody drove the SEMA truck and then we didn't have somebody transport it. We put Evan in the SEMA truck. Can you imagine how many tickets? We'd probably rack up $15,000 worth of tickets between here and Vegas and back. I think he'd go back to removing asbestos after that. I can't imagine how many tickets.

I don't think you would either. As soon as you got out of here, you'd be fine. Hopefully. Between here and Cormorant. Yeah, yeah. Once you get out of between our shop and Cormorant, coast is clear. That's pretty much the truth, but yeah. You know what I think might be the biggest gold mine ever? Menards. Go into Menards and don't walk out of there spending like

$300. It's impossible. You go there and you buy literally two things and it's like, yep, that'll be 500. The dude checking out in front of me bought like fricking, he had a bunch of wood and stuff, but he's like, yeah, that'll be 9,000 some dollars. Swipes the car. I'm like, holy shit, dude, just dropped nine grand in Menards on like a Tuesday. 15, uh, two by fours. Yeah, exactly. Bought a sheet of plywood. Every time I go into Menards and I'm walking down the, down the alleys, I get this,

Basically, anytime I go to that kind of store, but I'm like, all right, I feel like I need something, but I don't write anything down. And then I get home and I'm like, fuck, I was just at Menards. I should have bought this or do something like that. Does that happen to you guys too? All the time. Yeah, you come home with a truck full of stuff that you didn't really need, but you kind of want. Or that. Or walking down the aisle and I'm like...

I could use another pack of screwdrivers. Yeah. I'm here. I might as well. Right. It's all useful stuff. Whenever we go to hardware stores and stuff like that, I literally, if I have the time, I'll stroll down. I'll just pick 10 random aisles and then be like, do I need anything? Does the shop need anything from these aisles? And if they don't, I go, I've been here for 20,

25 minutes, better get rolling on. Been here wandering around for nine hours. If I went to Menards for nine hours, I would spend $9,000. Now that I'm thinking about it, if anyone's watching this podcast and they have a connection in the tool industry, we have...

the worst tools in our shop for how much how much we wrench on stuff and do things like we have the starter pack dewalt uh toolkit and drills and all that stuff half of it doesn't work most of the time so if you're watching this and you have a tool connection hit us up we'll

We'll promote the shit out of it because we use it a lot. Yeah, we have like all the basics. But whenever someone comes in, like G-Reg or Kevin when we were working on my bike or anything, they're like, do you have this special tool? But it's not necessarily a crazy special tool. I'm like, no, just sockets. Do you have a spring puller? No. I mean, now I do, but yeah. Do you guys have flathead screwdrivers that aren't bent?

No, we've used them to do things that aren't meant for screwdrivers. We only have the flat head that's this big and then the flat head that's like this big and that's it. Because we don't have like pry bars, so then we use our screwdrivers as pry bars. Or we don't have like a punch, so then we use our screwdrivers as punches. And all the punches we do have are bent like this. Yeah, but we make do. What's up with the bracelet? It's just so I don't forget, you know.

Oh. How do you feel about that, Ryan? Let's go. Oh. I thought he was, like, getting fancy or something. I was like, what is he wearing? Oh, this would be sick if it was, like, gold chain. Mike pulls up with a Cartier bracelet. Is that cool? That's fancy then? I would straight up black out if you pulled up with, like, a nice watch or a nice bracelet. It wouldn't be me. It wouldn't. That's why I'd be so surprised. Okay.

Okay, so speaking of, I just swore, but I haven't acted. Is that why you haven't talked at all this entire podcast? Because you can't talk without swearing? No, I was starting this. I got a new game. Here's the deal. You can say any swear word but the F word from here on out for the rest of the podcast. It'll probably be easy for you guys. For me, it's probably going to be hard.

And if you do swear, you have to take a shot, which is only going to probably make it progressively harder. Harder. Yeah, you're right. Oh, man. But I got to do something here. And I figured it'd be maybe entertaining. So we got brand new bottle of Crown Royal. So I actually dropped off by some subscribers. Yeah, some subs, dude, from Canada, was it?

Yeah, they were on their way back to Canada, and they missed us while we were out filming. They left a note and this. It's just great. Little things like that. I reached out to them on Instagram. I said, yo, thanks for the crown. That's pretty cool. Honestly, that's nice of them. Hold on. So we can say every word but the F word? Yeah, you just can't say the F word. Shit, yeah, dude. CJ can't use his F word substitute, fudge.

Fudge? Okay, I won't. Why can't you use fudge? Nah, because you could change it. You could catch yourself halfway. I like it, Ken. Ken from the back said you can't use your substitute word for the F word, fudge. And I think that you can only because you almost always say the F word and then right after go, fudge. Dude, I got that from the Christmas story. Yeah, I was wondering where that came from. I was going to use it yesterday in a subtitle for...

Fudge. Somebody saying the F word in the video. And I was like, I feel like people watching that would be like, why did they use fudge? I mean, it's a... We've done it a couple times. You've done it a couple times. It's legitimate. I laugh when I see it, but I'm just like...

I'd rather just not use it. Just don't even sub to it. It's just a little Easter egg for somebody. Do other people around say fudge? Is it like a Midwest thing? Why are you trying not to swear? He just does it too much. I'm not proud of how much I swear. It's like I was saying before, you can pepper the right words in at the right times and it's great, it's fine. But then as soon as it's just like...

F word too much. You're just kind of like, ah, dang, he likes that word a lot. I'm pretty good at not swearing when it comes to when we're filming a YouTube video. I've programmed myself that way. But on the podcast, I'm not really thinking. I'm just sitting and

I guess when I listen to it back, I don't really feel that way. I don't feel like I or you or really anyone swears where it's not. You know when some people just throw it in and you're like, man, you just love using that word. But I guess for us, it's just having a conversation. Just to be clear, I don't swear when there's little kids around and stuff like that. It's just the fact that we're here having a conversation now.

With us. You know, if we're meeting someone new, I don't start just blabbing on, saying the F word and stuff. I'm very... It's just, I don't know. I've just gotten loose on the podcast and I'm...

So we're getting loose with booze. Let's check some out. CJ's done swearing, so he's going to start taking shots instead. If I do swear, then I do. That's a punishment. You're right. If you were to actually get intoxicated, you'd probably start swearing more. You would start swearing even more because you'd start slipping up. Quit swearing, but I picked up drinking. It's always interesting when I see personalities that are like the

type personality or make kid type content. And then I hear them on a podcast or meet them like Mr. Beast. Like if you listen to him on podcast, loves using the F word. He does. And I probably think more into it because he is so brand and kid friendly. You never hear him say anything. You would never hear him say like, he's like weirdly casual. You wouldn't even hear him say when he's just getting interviewed. Like his Joe Rogan, he's weirdly, I'm like, I can't even believe he likes this where it just doesn't fit him. But yeah,

It also does. Yeah, you think after that much time. It's not for you. I don't think you look right swearing. You just don't have the image, man. You're not cool enough. That'd be something we'd say to Mike. We'd be like, Mike, you can't swear. You don't get to look for it. You just shouldn't swear, Mike.

There's a TikTok sound that's like for guys riding dirt bike. And it's like, every time I see this guy riding dirt bike, I think he's going to kill himself. And I think of Micah every time because it's for some reason we pegged you as an incapable rider, even though you probably are the best at wheeling. Better than me. Other than that. No. And it's funny. I'd have to agree with that to an extent. I try not to be too hard on myself, but.

I look at myself as an incapable rider. But then once I get in the zone, I'm like, I can ride. But then sometimes I'll watch myself back or something, and I'm like, man, who the heck gave me a dirt bike? Yeah, you definitely have the confidence, and you're doing it. But...

man are you sketchy dude you're watching you i'm worried i feel like a parent watching i'm like dude he should not be doing this where evan drops back and i'm like more of that shit mike does it i'm like stop stop it's not worth the risk like it's not worth the risk that like worries me more because i haven't had any loop outs or anything so i don't know i don't want to obviously this sounds so awful it's the worst i looped over when i was like

I was probably like 14, 15. Looped over, going pretty fast. I skidded on like this P-rock and I went through a jacket, like an over jacket, a sweatshirt, a t-shirt, and then into my skin. And I still have a scar from it. Your helmet was toasted too. Yeah. Oh, man. I was probably doing like 40. Wow, you slid that far? Yeah. Yeah, probably. I remember that. It wasn't...

We were all riding back over by Lake Ida. Because I think I was on my 150 at the time, and I want to say I was like fourth gear. I remember your parents were like, no more wheeling. Yeah, and then I think I got home, cleaned it out, and then we went and rode and probably didn't think twice about it. Yeah. I remember they were kind of like, no more wheelies, but you were like, it's all I know, Mom and Dad.

You know? I'm a wheelie boy. I don't know that anymore at all, dude. I can barely ride a wheelie on a big bike. What is your guys' worst injuries? Mike, have you had any? Yeah, that was my foot. Have we talked about that? I think we have, but basically riding in a Ranger with a buddy and then we rolled it and you instinctually put your foot out, the roll cage landed on it and just

destroyed it. I broke like four of the five toes. That was definitely the worst by far. Like the surgeon, it's one of those ones where she was like, I did the best I could. It wasn't even like... I'm not joking. She's like, you wake up and they're just all standing there like...

She, yeah. I'm like, how long was I out? Once I like came to it and it was, she's like the surge ended up being six hours instead of three or whatever it was supposed to be. And she's like, it was, geez, I did the best they could. Wow. Yeah. To be like, just lie to me. Tell me it's great. Yeah. We had to remove your penis. Mike's like, what? Why? What?

We had to take two inches off. What? That's all I had. The good news is we reattached it to your foot. It's your small toe now. We took your toe. Your baby toe now. If you don't have your baby toe, you don't have balance. So we figured you'd rather have balance than a dick. It's your big toe. It's your big toe. That's funny. Yo. No, it wasn't big enough to use as your big toe. We feel like it would have looked weird.

Oh, that was before we actually knew you, so I never saw you during that time. Was your foot like a flab? Because I envision it, if it got crushed and it was just completely crushed, was it just like, oh.

A little flap. Almost think of it, that's the worst part. I had my foot sideways, so almost like. Owie. You know how your foot's flat? It was almost more of like a round baked potato. Did you black out from the pain? Yeah. Dude, that had to have been so swollen. Majorly, because then get this. My foot's that broken. The craziest part was he doesn't know that just happened. He goes, dude, my dad's ranger. We got to get it flipped back over. Oh, my God. I hop back over on one foot. I'm like, all right, let's try it.

Did you get it? Oh, my God. I don't know if we know because then these people came and helped us because I'm like, dude, I don't know what's wrong with my foot, but I can't help you anymore. Little do I know, then as soon as I get my shoe off, I just got super scared. You look at your arm and it's all flabby or something. I cannot believe you were trying to walk on me. I know. I'm sure the adrenaline. I think it's bad. Yeah, the adrenaline. Some people can do crazy things off of adrenaline when they're like,

Seriously, seriously messed up. Yeah. I mean, it's the same thing of a mom lifting a car off of their child. It's so weird how that works. I think it's the coolest thing, to be honest. Not getting injured. That cannot be good for you, though, because the adrenaline just...

covers it up and then you mess it up even worse. I mean, that's possible. That's for sure. So how swollen was it? It had to have been just a baseball. Well, then that's when I went in and they basically were like, well, we can't operate on it now. Like it's mangled. Like, you know, the inside of your muscles and everything. So I had to sit for two weeks.

And just let it like. Wait, why couldn't they? They just couldn't operate right away. They said, get the swelling down. And it like went, started going up. And then my whole foot was just, it just looked like a burrito, dude. It was huge. Does your foot ever hurt today still? Yeah. It does? Only when, so when we were jet skiing, those four toes get so numb. And like, I feel like I'm going to run into problems with that.

Dude, my foot's... Some of the healing and stuff. Obviously, I didn't have nearly as bad of an injury as you. Yeah, so tell you what happened to you when you broke your foot. My foot still hurts. Yeah. Like, still hurts, and it's, like, really stiff. Like, I feel like I need to, like... I don't know. They need to, like, get a massager in there and, like...

I don't know, dude. It hurts. I feel like I need to... It doesn't hurt. I feel like it needs to crack, but I can't. Yeah, you should do the same thing that I have done on my nuts. I mean, I don't know if it's that bad. No, dead ass, because that breaks up inflammation. Oh, maybe I do then. I don't know. It would hurt so bad. Really? Your feet? Yeah. I get it done on my feet for reflex points, and it hurts so bad. Really? Oh, dude. Terrible. So yeah, what was your worst injury?

I fell off a piano bench when I was a kid and I broke my arm. Well, you should never play piano. Yeah. Piano is one of those. I got to be one of the only. Yeah, dude. I seriously got to be one of the only people to ever break their arm on a piano. Oh, it's like your parents had to start you so early. Yeah. We're pulling them out of music.

Too dangerous. When I was probably like seven or eight, I was riding my TTR 90 and I came over a hill and my brother was coming over at the same time and he hit me. What? And his peg was kind of at like the same level as my foot. Oh. And on impact, it broke my foot.

So I'm like, ah, ah, ah, my foot. Don't tell mom. And Sam goes, seriously, don't tell mom and dad. And I'm like, what do you mean? I have a broken foot. What am I supposed to do? And he goes, don't tell him. At the time, did you know it was broken? I'm sure you were like, it hurts really bad. He's like, you're nine. You'll get over it. Yeah. And I was like, what am I supposed to tell him? And he's like, just tell him you fell. I was like, okay. So I go home and

I was hobbling and they were like, what's wrong? And I was like, I fell. And they were like, what do you mean you fell? And I was like, on a rock?

And they were like, oh, okay. Well, let's go get an x-ray. It turned off. It was broken. And I lived with that lie. I covered it up until about like three years ago. I finally, I was like a little rat and I narked on him. Really? Yeah, I felt like it was time. I love stories like that. So did your brother get grounded? Yeah, big trouble. Sam ran into Natalie once too, your sister, when we were on the Ely trip. That's right. She was just a reckless dirt biker. You run into people head on. Yeah, what the heck?

Taking out the siblings one after another. I got hit after that, so I'm sure if my parents would have found out...

All right, he took Natalie out six months ago. Now his little brother, he's done. We're putting him on the piano. It is kind of funny getting injured doing things that aren't injury prone. I think my worst injury was falling off the one wheel, dude. When CJ had to come and rescue me, I was going on the one wheel, going too fast. And basically, if you go too fast, it can't keep up, and it just cuts out.

And I literally, like, baseball slid and dove. You probably went 23 mile an hour. Yeah, we had to have. It was like 23 or something like that. I just baseball slid in a t-shirt right down the highway. It looked like he...

put down a motorcycle it's all about the roads out here though like they're like sharp because they put these little p rocks into the hot tar for so that way you can have traction in the winter so they're sharp like it's not just concrete or you know asphalt or whatever but it's like sharp little rocks in the road i'll tell you that shit hurts dude it's basically like the roads around here like

three grit sandpaper yeah literally like it's like giant p-rock sandpaper so yeah that was pretty nasty i did that too i fell on a longboard once i remember i skinned up my hands and my boss at the time at the pizza place i worked at she was like disciplining me because i couldn't make pizzas as fast because my hands were all skinned up i'm like what was she doing

She was just upset that I was out enjoying myself and I fell. Mike's pizza output was already slow. You need to take this job more seriously. My pizza output was slow because I was a perfectionist. It wasn't a serious problem, but it was always like, yo, it looks great, but hurry up. I didn't know your pizza output was slow. I was just assuming. Didn't help that he showed up to work two hours late every day.

Yeah, so I had to make extra pizzas. Did they actually make you? No, they didn't need them. Back when you did have that job though, Mike, so before we were all full-time, we were still doing YouTube, but then we all had jobs we were doing on the side, and Mike would sleep in so much that his boss would call us, and then we would go and wake him up and then tell him to go into work. Okay.

Keep in mind. But they liked you so much that they wouldn't fire you. You've got to be the only person ever. You're so lovable. Job after job. You are so lucky. So lucky. Go work for Dave Sherbrooke and he'll whip you into shape real quick. One time I was 20 minutes late to work. I worked for Dave for four years, I believe. First time ever being late. And after four years, I think, I was 20 minutes late to work. Oh, my God.

You would have thought that I murdered his wife. What did he do? I kicked his mom down the stairs. I don't know. He just came and just screamed at me. It was... Looking back at it, I mean, it was a pretty normal Dave interaction. Just a peak madness. But I think after that, I was just like, man, I'm over this shit. I got to start a YouTube channel. I thought you were going to say, man, I'm never going to be late again. I thought. I was like, maybe we need just... Well, I wasn't really late ever. It was just like that one time. And I was just like, hey...

I made a mistake. I think I didn't set an alarm or something like that. Yeah. Classic. I guess in hindsight, yeah, I probably wasn't ever late again after that. I'm sorry.

So, Mikey, you worked at Zorba's. No, you worked at Lake Shirts. I mean, I had all kinds of different jobs. But before, what was the last job you had before we started YouTubing? Zorba's. It was Zorba's. Yeah. That was an interesting time, too, because I'd run myself so thin. Because just when you're working there, you start at 11 when they open, and you just work through both rushes. And if it's super busy, you just keep working. So, I was like 11 to...

like eight or nine and then after that I'd get off and like we'd go do stuff and I loved it there so much and you guys were like seriously like you don't have to work there anymore I was like yeah but like mostly just because it's one of those ones where they want to keep you there and like you're like I think I'm gonna be done and they're like can't you just do like three days a week so

Zorba's is like a pizza restaurant and bar. Yeah. Yeah. So I worked back in the kitchen and it was super fun, but it was just like, and I made pretty good money there, but yeah, that was a problem. You took like a pay cut. Cause you're like, all right, let's go full-time YouTubing. Hopefully we make more, but I'm gonna make like literally a third as much money as I have been at the time. Yeah. We're all like, you know, Ben worth it. He'd quit. And we're like, no, dude, if we do this, we're only going to be flat broke for the next three years. If we all quit right now,

And we were. Man. It's an interesting thought. Like, at the time, I wasn't making that good of money compared to now, but I was like, dude, I'm like bartending, man. You know, I get a bunch of good tips, and then we had to go start at square one, which this, none of this would be possible if we didn't take those risks. Exactly. I'm glad that we pushed. Yeah, like, you know, you quit your summer job. We, like, kind of,

kind of went and made CJ quit his job. It's all pretty interesting. That is in an old video. Probably a lot of people don't remember that one. And he really liked it there where he was working too. He really did like the people. It was great. I laughed thinking back to that moment. How then we were like, should we take the Maverick? So random, dude. So random. Dude, I think back to so many things that we did. I just go, why? Why did we do that? Why did we do that?

I guess I don't regret any of it because it led us to where we're at right now, and I'm pretty stoked. But then I'm like, well, shit, where would we be if we wouldn't have done half that –

messing around it's just how it is i mean i still say it about stuff i did yesterday so well good job we're uh i don't know how long into the podcast nobody's sworn yeah or nobody's dropped an f-bomb and no i've caught myself it just hits like a certain point in the podcast we just all do it we're just like screw this we just start partying yeah i don't know i feel like

We are. At least I can't speak for you guys, but I feel like I'm almost having to think about what I'm saying a lot more, and it's getting in my head. Just take the shot. Just say whatever you want, Ben. Take the shot. Take the shot. This is going to have the best retention because I'm going to just get a little bit more hammered. At the end of it, I'm going to be blacked out.

Speaking of blacked out, I got CJ blacked out the other day for his birthday. That was your doing? It wasn't my doing, but I was definitely a catalyst to making it worse, and Alex was so pissed at me for doing it. But I was like, dude, it's your birthday. You got to. You got to. I mean, I think I was fine, but I don't know. To be fair, I didn't think you were that drunk. And I was like, dude, let's take – I got – I iced you and I iced Ken, and I knew Ken wasn't going to do it, obviously. He never does. What? Ken loves ices.

Anyway. You love ISIS, Ken? And then, yeah, I got CJ a couple shots because it was his birthday. But little did I know, everybody else also got him a couple shots. Yeah, it was like everywhere we were going. Honestly, just pop up this video. This is probably going to be like the best representation of that night. Here, let me show it to you. Man.

I went into Zorba's the other day, and I saw Brian, the owner, and I knew that I had been blacked out there, and I apologized. I said, dude, I'm sorry for whatever I did. And he goes, no, no, you're good, dude. You were just chilling. You were having a great time. You were great. Thanks for coming. So I didn't do anything wrong. That's good. Which I'm glad. Happy birthday. Am I sleeping? Oh, it's a video. You were like a waving inflatable arm balloon man. Dude.

But see, you're chilling. You're not like, you know. I knew what I was doing. You just didn't know what you were doing. I just don't remember. Yeah, I was fine. That's funny, though. Yeah, well, the thing is, we got home. I was brushing my teeth, and I threw up in the sink right as I was done brushing my teeth. And then I brushed them again. Nothing worse than a sink puke. And then, fuck! I swore. Oh, was that two? Yeah.

I guess, yeah, you're right. You just said... What song was that? Was that Hotel Room by Pippa? It was. I don't know why that was my go-to, but it just felt right at the moment. God damn it. Again, I'm looking for one in the hotel room.

Is it cold? So are you in the clear now? Cause I kind of want to just, or you have to do it every time. You have to do it every time. Otherwise it'd be just like one shot. I was hoping, I was hoping that you were going to just be like, well, now that you've already done it. Well, now we're in the clear, you know, it's like that. One of those things like you make the rule. So then once, once it bites you in the ass, then you're like, well,

I was just joking. Anyways, I do that all the time. Have you guys noticed when I'm pulling the strings for like a video prank and then it somehow affects me? I'm like, wow. It's not that deep. You guys are thinking and do it too much. It's true. It's the worst. There we go. All right. I don't want to talk about this for very long. Last night at the concert, we went to Steve Aoki. He played in Fargo. It was his first time playing in North Dakota. I...

Can imagine why. Had to have been the first time anybody's played in North Carolina. But we go there and this one of – Ben's friend, one of his homies, I think his name is Jeremy, but he goes up to me and goes, hey, you see CJ? Let him know I went to Crisp and Green because –

Because he was talking good about it. I'm like, you got it, man. No way. Dude, they need to start giving me a kickback. Except I'm not going in there. They need to sponsor this darn podcast. I broke the streak. I broke the streak, by the way. Yeah, you did. Dude, if it's Friday, you got a chance, dude. I'm over it, man. Take off. I think I'm moving on.

Really? Five guys now. Yeah. Nice. Burgers now. Wow, what a switch up. I don't know. I'm just saying. What a switch up. I do like five guys though. I usually go to Jimmy John's. I really like Jimmy John's. I know a lot of people don't. A lot of people do. You can't justify it. Yeah, it's all good. Like, to me, it's just a good sandwich. But a lot of other people are like, I'm not into like, you know, 11 bucks or 10 bucks or whatever it is. Yeah, it's like 12 bucks for a basic sandwich, dude. No, no, no, no, no. The basic.

The good ones are around... Mine was $9.50, actually. With the combo? With the double... No. Yeah, but after taxes, it's $7.12. And then you get the combo. Anyway, I went there, and Jimmy John's is just not fast anymore. It's not? They had to take that... They had to take that... Yeah, the Freaky Fast. Freaky Fast. Oh, really? Why? Because they're not fast. They were just... I go to Subway, and it's twice as fast, dude. And I don't know if it's just our local towns, Jimmy John's...

But I swear, I'm investing like 25 minutes to go and get a sandwich. Instead of just training them to be faster or maybe like changing up the way they do things, they're like, let's just take the sign down. Just take the sign down. Screw it. It's just weird. I think they were getting a lot of scrutiny because they –

marketed themselves as freaky fast. They used to be though. They'd have that sub done by the time that you were basically folding your receipt up or crumpling it up. They would hear the order and just make it. Yeah. What are they doing? They're not even toasting that shit. And yeah, they don't even have like, what are they doing? Or anything special. That's why I'm just like, like it. I used to eat Jimmy John's before I had to have a hockey game because it was light.

But if I'm hungry for a meal nowadays, like, I don't want anything light. I'm just going to go eat. So $12 for just something basic. No bashing Jimmy John's. It's just about their speed. Fair enough. I'm just kidding. Mike's keeping this open in case Jimmy John's wants to hit us. As good as you like it, I just, yeah, that's what I say. Did I mention that we love Jimmy John's? And Crispin Greens? They just don't, like, have the people in the right places. So you know how every restaurant's pushing for mobile? They just don't have, like, you know. What do you mean, Mike?

I'm saying like how there's mobile orders, there's in-person orders, and then there's drive-thru. Well, guess what? The one I went to today didn't even have a drive-thru. So I'm like, I'm going to put a mobile order in. I put it in before I entered the restaurant, like on my way there.

And then I go in, I'm like, I had to wait in line, and I go, I got a pickup order. Assuming that it's a pickup order. Nice, hand me the sandwich. And she literally just goes, oh, you're Micah with the... I haven't started that yet, but I'll start it right now. I'm like, why? Why? And then the guy that ordered... Mike, you're dealing with another Micah. Sure.

It sucks, doesn't it? If I worked at Jimmy John's and had sandwiches to make, I would just make them. What else are you going to do? What about when you worked at the pizza shop? Just make the pizzas. I thought that you were standing behind the desk just scrutinizing, looking at how all the things are laid out. This is all wrong. The sink is in the wrong spot. I was like, what are you, a design expert?

They need to move the ham over there. Yeah, I don't know about all that. I was just – It's like just picturing Mike. You want to know what this all comes down to though? I don't know if it's just nowadays or if it's been like this for – since the beginning of time. I would assume it's getting worse just because you just look at how people are nowadays. People are just bad at their job. A lot of people are just half-assing their whole thing. Dude, so I had a Lyft. Our good friend Mark –

uh loaned me his boat lift for the summer because he wasn't he doesn't have a boat for the summer he didn't get one um so he's like you can just use mine so you don't have to buy one and and they'll deliver it because they had it at the lift place so i was like oh great i'll pay for it to be delivered whatever i don't know if they could have done any worse of a job they like must have just pushed it off the the barge they didn't level it and then they pushed it facing the wrong way

So like, I can't like, you can't put the boat onto it because it's literally backwards and it's,

And it's a 10,000-pound lift. You can't move it yourself. It's the biggest lift you can buy. You need at least four guys in the water. And I literally go look at it. It was like crooked and sitting in the water. They just left it? They just left? What's the story behind that? Have you ever heard anything? It startled me when I walked inside because I ran in to go change quick after we had done whatever bit we were filming that day. And it was like there. I knew they were going to bring it.

CJ walks out the door. Oh, no! The reason why it scared me is because there was this metal object like this in the water out front. And I thought the dock had gotten mangled by something. But I was like, oh, what'd they do here? And I go and look at it.

I don't think they could have put any least effort in besides just not even bringing it as a whole. Maybe they looked at it like this cheap bastard doesn't even buy his own lift. We're going to just throw this thing in. Mark bought it from him? Yeah, no. It's funny though because they do that and now they just bit themselves in the ass because they have to come back and redo it. Well, they better. I can't put my boat on it and now it's sitting in our shop. So yeah, shout out Mark, but also people need to...

Just do their job better. Another thing that happened the other day when we were editing, Ken went and got us lunch. Actually, I don't want to cause problems, so just blank that out. I asked for extra sauce on the wings, and they gave me less sauce than normal. I was just like, what? We have three places to eat around here, and CJ's not trying to piss one of them off. I love them all, but I just was like,

come on, like this sucks. You just charged me probably 20 bucks for these and you, you know, just do your job. I think it just comes down to certain people care as much as they're getting paid. And a lot of them just aren't getting paid. I don't even think it's that because you start paying people more. They just get used to it. Well, it doesn't necessarily make them care or work harder. Yeah. But if you put certain people in control and they have a little bit of,

of uh authority over people and they care a little bit more then they might take responsibility for their work but if they're like bottom of the barrel and they don't give a shit whether your doc's in or in straight sideways upside down they're getting the same paycheck at the end of the day and it just kind of comes back on their piece of shit boss if their boss chews them out that sucks but like

I don't know. It's probably it's just management at a certain degree because a lot of these companies that we work with, we've seen get bigger and bigger and bigger. And they used to be so good and they got big because they're so good. And now they're huge and they suck. They can't manage all these people. They can't manage all these people and they don't have, you know, they don't have people in control because everybody is just like...

Nobody really knows what's going on. You start hiring people that don't care. Yeah. They're not invested. The biggest thing is being invested. I remember back when I worked at Courts Plus in Fargo, which was a gym. I worked like the front desk and did a bunch of other stuff on there too. But I always did a good job.

Not because I was getting paid a lot. I was getting paid $10 an hour. But because the manager, my boss, was a nice guy to me. He was very cool. He was a nice guy. And I didn't want to let him down. So I would always make sure I did my job right. Whereas I go back and I look at the job prior. I was washing cars.

And they treated me like trash there, dude. Like, they did. I mean, I didn't care that much then, you know? They also didn't even care if the cars were not getting done that good. I don't know. Or maybe people are just getting worse at work. I don't know. I think it goes to management for sure. I think, yeah, I think you guys are right. I think management is, like, so important because, like you say, for your boss and whatnot, and that trickles the whole way down. But I also wonder if it's just...

We're getting older. You know, when you're a kid and you like look at your parents, you're like, this person has everything figured out. Or you see like a high schooler, like, man, they know everything. And then now we've reached the level where we're dealing with people. Like never before have you had to hire a doc person to put the doc in because you either did it yourself with your dad, but you've never had that problem. When we've never had all these new problems from where we're getting stuff from and what we're doing. So maybe, yeah.

It's just everybody's always sucked at their job. People just suck. You're right. That's probably the best way to look at it. People just suck and now we just have to deal with it. That's probably the best way. Yeah. Yeah, because when you're younger...

You don't really have to deal with that much stuff. Yeah. Yeah, that's a great point. I was thinking about that earlier too. People always blame things not working. Like, oh, sorry, I'm late on this COVID. Like they blame everything on that. COVID? Yeah. Like, oh, sorry, your order's late.

this can't get it here. Like people have been using, they're still using that excuse. And I'm like, if you're still using that excuse now, you just did not prepare well enough. I just like thinking sometimes you think of a backstory. Sometimes like I'd like to think,

For your boat lift, their barge broke down and they had more pressing. I'd like to think that. They start raining and you didn't want to get wet. I was trying to come up with scenarios too. So I like to try to think of that. As far as my sub at Jimmy John's goes, that just does come down. I'm sorry. I just didn't. Yeah. I haven't started it yet. Odds are somewhere along the line of the things getting done, someone is having a bad day. Yeah.

That too. Yeah, man. I always have a lot of respect for these companies, the owners of these companies, bringing on so many employees, but making these employees feel special. Like when we went to Custom Offsets, when we first started working with them, the CEO, Sean, had a way of just speaking to the employees that made them all feel like this isn't... I'm not an employee. I am Custom Offsets. Like I am...

not just a number here like i matter and dude clearly it worked because it's an insanely successful company now that just comes down to like sean being a really really good leader yeah he talked with us for a long time too and like he cared he did yeah it comes down to caring and working hard yeah if you don't care and you aren't a hard worker just things aren't gonna work

So me and CJ spent the day with our grandpa Ron. A legend. This week. Yeah. Such a legend. You have like a picture of it. This Mustang that you guys went and helped him pick up is just so funny to me. I'm not saying that the car is funny or stupid or silly looking. It's just like I didn't even know that they made Mustangs that looked like that. It looks like an Oldsmobile. Yeah. But it's a convertible. It's got to be like an 88. Yeah, something like that. It was kind of in the era of...

Where Mustangs just weren't, like they're not that cool, but it's sentimental type of thing. To be fair, Mustangs have really never been cool, except for like recently. I think like the 69 and then now, but I agree, other than that. Our Mustang body, skip all of them up until like Mustangs today. In 2004 when they, or it might have been 2005, whenever they did,

They made the change to kind of like the similar body style that they have now. I remember it being just like crazy. It was super cool. I remember our neighbor, someone went and dropped him off, and the whole neighborhood was looking at it. So anyway, you guys were hanging with Grandpa Ron. Yeah, we got to spend the day with Grandpa Ron, which is always fun because growing up, me and CJ learned a lot from Grandpa Ron just because he's one of those guys that's like –

insanely witty and he's always got like a comeback or a response and he's just a bullshitter yeah and he's a salesman and um yeah i don't know we've just me and cj have gotten a lot of like our humor and uh kind of just how we bullshit with people when i was a kid he told me that uh you need to know how to bullshit in life like i remember him telling me that and i was like

That's so funny. But it's true, though. It's true. As you get older, it's very important. And then he also cracks a beer and goes, also, you need to learn how to drink one of these. You'll thank me later. Yeah. I'm like, eighth grade. Yeah, no. It's so true, though. Because if you got a guy who can actually talk and isn't a dweeb, not that there's anything wrong with being a dweeb, but they're good to be around. They're fun to be around. And he is fun to be around. Dweebs?

No, Grandpa Ron's. Oh, people that can bullshit. Well, it's like, let's say you got a guy for the job, and he is going to be Ken's shipping partner. Uh-huh. But he is just so straight-laced and just, you know... Dweeb. Yeah, he's kind of a dweeb. But he's a good guy. Yeah. And there's nothing wrong with him. Right. But then you got a guy who's like you...

Ben, obviously, but looking for a job to be shipping, you would hire you just because it would be fun to hang out with. Or any of you guys. It would be fun to hang out with you because you're going to be cracking jokes. You can go out and get food with them later. You don't mind hanging out with them. Yeah.

And that's kind of what I think he was saying. For sure. He's got friends with everybody and he makes friends with everyone. He makes friends with everyone and he's just a salesman at heart, dude. He'll be selling things. He'll be selling things that he's not even making commission on, but he's just selling things because that's all he knows how to do. Yeah. He'll sell somebody else on something that we own and we're not even selling. You're like, shit, I guess we're selling it. Yeah. So funny. But, um,

Yeah, we want to film a prank. I don't know if we want to... Do we want to out our idea? I think we can say it, yeah. So last year we got the golf cart. Well, Mike got the golf cart after he absolutely yardied it, launched it, and...

We put the train horns on it. And last fall, we tried filming this prank video where we went to a golf course and we're dressed as golfers and we train horn other golfers on the golf course, but you can't see the train horn, so they don't know where it comes from. Super hard prank, and we never actually ended up pulling it off. It's scary, too. It worries me. It worries me, too. But you got to choose whoever you're going to train horn wisely. Because it's very loud. Very loud.

It's scary. We did it on the last day that the golf courses were open around here last year. Of like our local country club. Yeah. Yeah, the one that I grew up playing at, not going back there. That man, yeah. Well, nothing went wrong. But if we go over there and we train horn, you're probably going to get thrown out. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. If you get caught.

So it didn't end up working, so we're going to do it again this spring or coming up soon. And we were like, man, it'd be really funny if we got Grandpa Ron, who's a golfer. He lives on a golf course. All of his buddies are golfers. We're like, it'd be really funny if we went golfing with him. And he was a part of the prank, and he trained horns people because they would know.

never expect it coming from him. Right. If he's sitting in the golf cart with one of us, it'll just be like, oh, what? You're going to look around and be like, it had to have came from somewhere. If it's us and we're dressed how we are normally dressed, they're going to think, those guys are fucking with me. Fudge.

Those guys are messing with me. Take a shot. That's funny. Yeah, exactly. So it would just be hilarious because then when they do come up and they're like, was that you? Grandpa Ron's going to have some witty response because he's funny. He's a funny character. And also, I feel like people loved him. They'll take it better. Sorry. But what if it's like an old guy? More than likely, the old guy wouldn't pick a fight with us, but he sees Grandpa Ron and thinks, I could probably take him.

And they'd get in a fight. Grandpa would scrap. I know he would. That's what I'm worried about. Dude, our Grandpa Ron is almost 80. What? Dude, he's just chilling with us, dude. He doesn't look a day over 69. I want to just bring him around and start doing more stuff with him and filming. I wish we would have been filming when we were hanging out with him because he was telling us so many funny stories. Like this one story.

Hopefully he doesn't mind me telling. Apparently, well, we were walking into Benihana and this truck, another bad worker, he was on a construction job. They're doing construction. And us three are walking. And Ken. Ken came with. And we're walking across the parking lot street.

And we clearly were like in the middle of the street. We were way ahead of this truck and this truck comes flying in and literally goes around us while we're in the middle of the street. Like he could just wait three seconds and then he just parks right here. Like he...

It made no sense. And Grandpa Rods, Jesus Christ. Yeah. And I was even like, what the heck? And Grandpa goes, one time a guy did that to me back in whatever year. I kicked in both his doors. Yeah. What'd he say? He said something like that. I was like, why didn't I have the camera go like this? This doesn't count because I'm just rephrasing what he said. But he goes...

Why don't you learn how to fucking drive? Kicks the door in. And then the guy was like, why'd you do that? And he goes around, kicks the other door in and goes, what are you going to fucking do about it? And then he walked in and the guy didn't do anything. Which is so funny because Grandpa Ron is not like an angry person. He's always laughing. He probably laughs more than anyone I know. Always laughing when we're with him. So that's why I just picture him getting just heated about that.

I feel like it was a different time probably when he did that. Yeah, it was probably like 2012. Oh, yeah. It probably wasn't that much. If we do the thing with your grandpa at the golf course, think of him doing it and then a golfer realizing and then seeing your grandpa cackling laughing. That other guy, similar to his age, can't not laugh at that. They're going to be like, oh, I'll

A fellow older guy who likes to golf played a prank on me. The thing is, though. But he sees us douchebags sitting there. He'll be like, screw those guys. I'm calling the course. That might get a better reaction. True. We'll have to do a couple of both. But, yeah, he is such a character. I hope he doesn't mind us. No, that's a fine story. That's a cool one. Well, I have another one. Okay.

Grandpa Ron is technically like me and CJ's step-grandpa. He just married my grandma back when my mom and his dad were teenagers anyway. But before my grandma... But he's like our grandpa. Right, right, right. They've been married for like 45 years. Before he was married to my grandma, he got married at like 21 or something like that. Was with this lady. Then I think got divorced.

And then ended up getting remarried to this lady and then got divorced. And then after the second time getting divorced, his twin brother. Not his twin. His older brother then married her. What? Yeah. And here's the funniest part. They all come to family Christmas with me and CJ. What? Wow. Yeah. Okay, okay. Hold on.

Grandpa Ron. Grandpa Ron. Gets divorced from the second wife. Let's just say her name is Shelly. And so the brother then went for the second wife.

Or the first wife. Sorry, sorry. Okay. Ron marries Shelly. Ron and Shelly get divorced. Ron remarries Shelly. Ron and Shelly get divorced. Wait, they got remarried again? Yes. Ron married her twice. Oh, so it wasn't different people. No, no, no. Same person. Same person. Oh, man. This just seems like being together with extra steps. Yeah. So then they get divorced for a second time. And then Grandpa Ron's brother...

Mary's Shelly. Wow. And now they all came to family Christmas for the past 30 years. I mean, so obviously now it's fine. Yeah, it's extremely civil. And for the longest time, I didn't even know, like, oh, this grandpa's ex-wife. I knew. I just love the two Marys. Yeah. Trying it again, and then she's like, I thought we were really close that time. It still didn't work out, but I'd like to stay in the family. Yeah, I guess. It's a good family. Rattled. Yeah.

How strange, huh? You'd think you'd be mad, but it was just chill. It'd be like if my little brother married my, or started dating my ex-girlfriend, I wouldn't be mad about it. I'd just feel bad for him. Yeah.

yeah that's what he says yeah me and cj we're getting the low down this week and we're like so like what what were you thinking like how'd you feel and he goes i was just fucking glad it wasn't me i felt bad for him wasn't gonna do that a third time yeah i mean that's true you

I got everything out of the way, you know? I wouldn't imagine that there's much envy or jealousness. Good for them, though, because they could have probably literally gotten so pissed. Like, that story could have gone one or two ways. They're cool to have every family Christmas. Or they never speak again. He shot him after that. Or they never speak again. That doesn't happen often. No, no, not your family. But, yeah, it's a possibility. All right, last thing on Grandpa Ron. It's just really funny since you are taking shots for having a potty mouth.

But my mom was like, she listened to some of the podcasts and I was like, I told her, I was like, yeah, it's a lot more, it's more explicit than the videos are. She's like, yeah, I just, you know, CJ in particular, he's got a little bit of a potty mouth. I'm working on it. And then she watched the, uh, just no, whatever. No, she didn't watch that, but watch the video where you guys break, uh, grandpa Ron's TV. Yeah. And she's like, well, I saw the video. And so that's their grandpa, right?

I kind of can see it. You know, growing up around him, you're going to, he had to have influenced him in some way. And I definitely think he did for sure. Yeah. Drinking. So that's so funny. Yeah, bro. He will walk into his place. I mean, whatever time, nothing crazy really, but he's like, boys want a beer. He's always got bottled beers too. Yeah. Love that.

He always has a mixed up full carton of a screwdriver. So you're ready to go. Half vodka, half orange juice. Really? Yeah, he always has a carton of that.

Mixed up in his fridge. Honestly, though, if we are even half as cool as Grandpa Ron, we would have so many friends because everyone just wants to hang out with him. Yeah, man. He's so funny. Well, we've met so many of his friends just because he's always, hey, you got to meet this. I'll get a ride out to your shop from my buddy Lenny. Oh, you guys love Lenny. Oh, I can't wait to introduce you to Lenny. He's good shit. They walk in and Grandpa, hey!

This is great. Boys, this is Lenny. Lenny. Boys, that's my grandson and CJ and Ben. Oh, stay clear. These little fuckers, they'll take advantage of you. No, I'm just kidding. Come on. No, no. Anybody need their teeth pulled? He's a dentist. Yeah, he's a dentist. And then Lenny's standing there just like, man, I feel bad for you guys. You got to deal with this shitbag. And Grandpa's like, oh, it's you, motherfucker. Yeah, yeah.

Dude, it's so funny. It'll be like us when we're old, probably. Hopefully. I hope we're like that. That'd be cool, dude. It'd be the best. It's really funny, though, because Grandpa Ron drinks alcohol like a fish. Or, I guess... Well, he told me as CJ he doesn't drink as much anymore, but...

Loves beer. Well, and he totally likes anything. He'll drink anything. But for the longest time, we always looked at like our other grandpa as like the healthy one. And then because he's like a chiropractor, he takes really good care of himself, right? Mm-hmm.

And we've got Grandpa Ron over here. He eats all his greens, everything, yeah. Yeah, has a really good diet. Doesn't drink any alcohol. And we've got Grandpa Ron over here drinking beer. You know, he doesn't care what he eats and all this stuff. And, dude, he's crushing it for being 80 and still playing golf. Yeah, good.

Still going on road trips, hopping up in our big-ass truck. I felt bad for him because he had to ride with us in our – we had the Ram, but even the Ram is like – The Ram's harder to get into. It's hard. I would say it's almost harder because there's no step. And he had to like jump out of it and get back in. I was like, God dang. Yeah, but I mean he took it like champ. He didn't even care.

I should have gave a poll in my GTR, but I don't know. He doesn't really like driving fast. You should do that and film it because I still think his reaction will be great. I will. I'll go do that. I should do a poll with my mom. You guys ever see the video when I... The Maverick. It was so bad that it was just like too much. Yeah, where she was like so terrified that it...

That was a lot. That was kind of hard to watch. Yeah, it was like her reaction was so extreme that it wasn't even funny. And that was not fake. No, no. I cut most of it because I was like, this is just hard to watch.

Yeah. So, uh, we should have grandpa Ron on the podcast. I love that. It'd be tough. Cause no one really knows who he is. No, I know. It doesn't matter. It'd be funny. But I think at the same time you would do so well. I don't think it, I don't think it matters because he'd be so funny stories about when we're kids. He's got so many stories. I don't know how he can remember all this stuff. I don't even remember what I did this morning. Um,

What's like a funny story you guys got that's like something crazy not a lot of people know? Wow. That is so... Very vague, but... Vague? Like what's the first thing that comes to your mind of something you did or something that happened, you know, whatever? I got a pretty good one, I'll tell you, and then we can build off this. So I'll keep it short. When I was in the ninth grade...

I used to always go over to my friend Jason's house. He doesn't mind me telling. He's good stuff. We would all stay there. We didn't drink or do anything. We would just play video games or whatever. But at night, we, for some reason, and maybe it was eighth grade. I don't know. It might have been younger, probably younger than ninth. But for some reason, it was fun to sneak out the window. Maybe it was seventh. I don't know. It doesn't matter. We were young. Young enough where you didn't have a car. So you'd hop out the window.

We'd hop out the window. We'd always plan until like 2 in the morning for some reason. And we'd like get out. And he lived in Fargo and it was just a town. And we would go and walk around on the street. And it was fun. And we never vandalized anything or did anything wrong, but we'd just walk. And it was really fun because there would always be cops and stuff. And we were young enough where we were past curfew, so we'd have to lay down in the grass. Or like you'd see a car coming, you'd go and hide. And it was just exhilarating.

And anyways, we were going to our other friend's house. His name was Logan. Bleep one of those hearts. And we were going to like scare him or something. We're going to knock on his window and troll him. So me, him, and our friend Isaac go walking across the

like a long ways it took us a long time to get there and we start knocking we're gonna go knock on his window and hopefully scare him or something i don't know but his dog was outside his dog started barking like the light turned on we take off tearing we tear off so we're all right we're going home okay we're done for the night we're walking across this busy street literally standing in the dead center of an intersection with lights road is dead and we turn and look to our right there's a cop

And he's just sitting there looking right at us. And we look at him and it just pauses. Time stops. And like we were kind of right here and he was like right here. And I just see him turn his wheel like right at us. But he's still sitting. He goes. And we all just go run. And we take off running. So we go tearing off. And there's this soccer field.

And there's like this library and then these like ghetto apartments. A guy had just gotten shot there a week prior. And we go tearing off in this field. He's tearing off behind us. He's got his lights on. He had like a mic. Yeah, he had his lights on. He had a microphone. I don't know why he was going so hard on us. Just one of those cops. But also at the same time, we probably looked pretty guilty of whatever we were doing, being that we were running. So we go tearing off. We go to the next building.

We get to this field, and his tires were squealing, dude. And he's like, hey, stop right there. And we get in this field, and we go dive, and we dive down, and we're laying in the grass. We got our hoods up, boom, boom, and it's this big soccer field. Pretty soon, all I see is a spotlight. I'm like looking back. Spotlight comes on. He's got one of those little things on his mirror, and it's like...

I love when CJ tells this story and he gets to the flashlight part. That's my favorite part. It's like going across a field. And then we all look down. It goes past for a second and then it goes right back. And we stand and we're like, bro.

We get up and we start running. And for some reason, Jason's legs stopped working because he was so scared. And he gets up, falls, gets up, falls. And I started laughing at this point. Okay, so maybe that makes movies a little more realistic. It was hilarious. It was hilarious. He couldn't walk to save his life. He was falling all over the place. You know how people in movies, when they're running away, I'm like, why did you fall now? You're going to get stabbed. But they get so scared, their legs stop working. So then there's these townhomes, and the cop just goes...

Like, apparently that guy didn't want to run after us. I don't know. Lazy. Anyways, he goes, puts the pedal to the floor, does like a perfect don't know. It was pretty sweet. Like, that thing had to have been rear wheel drive. It was like... And he tears off and there's these townhomes right here and a road that runs right next to it. And we're on the back side of it. And it's like, he starts driving next to us pretty soon. He's like...

and there's cars and we're running and then I go turn and we turn this way and we start running this way. We, we probably ran a mile and we ended up getting away. And, uh, that was like a crazy moment, I guess. Wow. And we got, we got to the house and Jason and I were tweaking like, Oh my God. Cause, cause we, we got back and I was all happy. And Jason goes, he's kind of a paranoid guy. He's like, duh,

The cameras, there's cameras on the streetlights. We are done. We're done. Like they know us. Like we were, we were all wearing our high school sweatshirts and stuff. And I was like, oh my gosh. Like it was like I was here and then I was back here. Isaac could not have cared less. He went inside and slept like a baby. And I'm, and I'm not kidding you. He had a small smile on his face. He was, I'm dead ass serious. He was sleeping like this.

Like a baby. And Jason and I stayed up all night just Googling if you run from the police and you get away, but they have you on camera...

Can you still get in trouble? And we're, it's like, you're looking at two years in jail, like all this stuff, you know, and we're just like, we are in so much trouble. You imagine Fargo PD's watching this right now. We got him. We got him. So I go back to school and I was all worried because we were wearing our school sweatshirts that they were just, if they actually had the cameras, they probably didn't even care that they were going to go to high school and be like, hey.

We have these pictures of these kids wearing, who is it? And they'd be like, that's them. But never happened. Got away with it. Didn't tell anyone. Didn't tell anyone at school. We had like a pack where we can't tell anyone because people start talking. They're going to, you know. Rat us out. Rat us out. And we kept our lips sealed. And now I'm on this podcast telling it to however many people. I always remember if that happens, if it's like your first offense. Granted, you guys were running. He had his lights on, dude. It was full on running. They usually just go like.

Hey, stop right there. And then they put you in the back of their car and bring you home. It really wouldn't have been that big of a deal. It might have been nice. You could have gotten a ride. But it's still traumatizing. We would have gotten in trouble, though. We would have gotten in trouble because he would have had to bring us to our house. Our parents would have gotten woken up. We would have gotten in trouble. It would have been a whole deal. But obviously, once he started running, now we're facing a whole other thing. Right. You're committed. We risked it, and we got away with it. Risked it for the biscuit. Do you guys remember that feeling of being a kid?

And you do something wrong the night before, and it might be as small as, like, sneaking out. I know. And that feeling when you wake up in the morning, and you're like, oh, I hope... Or if you just got in trouble, whatever, and you just know your parents are mad at you. My mom came... The worst feeling. My mom had to pick me up, and I had, like, an hour of sleep because I was tweaking all night, Googling, trying to figure out what was going to happen to us. And she comes to pick me up, and I had to go wherever we were going that day. And she was like...

what's wrong? Didn't get much sleep. Probably thought I was like out drinking, but I really wasn't doing anything bad besides for out walking around. And then we ran from the cops, but it was one cop, but yeah, screw that guy. Honestly, that feeling it's like, get, it could be anything getting in trouble, doing anything. And you just genuinely feel like that's why also kids will do dumb things to cover up.

That's the worst. They'll cover up and they'll get deeper. And then when it's all uncovered, which usually happens and usually doesn't take very long, they look like a big fat. Dude, everyone when you were a kid would lie. You know, you just would lie for no reason. It's so dumb. Yeah. So you're scared of. And then one day you just get. Well, you were probably getting caught all along, but you get caught and you're at the age where you're like.

What am I doing? This is embarrassing. And then you're just flat out embarrassed, and then you're like, I'm done lying. And you stop lying. Some people don't do that, and they just keep lying, and they're fucking 23. Shoot, dude. God dang it, dude. How many shots is this? Five? Three, four. Oh, I didn't even hear that one. I didn't even think about it either. I'm the only one having to take these. You're the only one. You got a potty mouth. Has a potty mouth. CJ, I'm pretty good. I think I'm...

I'm pretty good at catching myself. I don't swear around kids. I don't swear around kids. I never swear around kids. Because I don't hang around kids. I don't talk to them either. I was just like, but kids are, yeah, we get kids around us all the time because of fans. My go-to when like a young kid comes up to me in like a store or wherever I'm at, and they're clearly little, like elementary school. I always go- You can tell by the way that they aren't full grown. Obviously. Yeah.

You can tell they're little by me offering them a beer and they don't accept it. I'm not good at knowing how age is, but I can tell they're young. That's true. It's hard to tell. I go, what are you in? Junior or senior in high school? And they go...

first grade no really what are you gonna be what 18 16 17 and the mom's always sitting there like smiling they think it's funny it's just my goat i need to come up with something new but yeah my cousin is a math teacher and she texted me this week and she goes hey i've had to tell three kids to stop watching your podcast during class so can you talk about

And I was like, no, because that'd be awful. And I don't know how to teach that. Two plus two is four. But she's going to love this if she comes in. She's like, what are they doing now? Swearing and drinking? Quit lying, man. And quit swearing, kids. Yeah, that's true. There's a lesson in all this. It's good quality educational content.

Dude, I did not want to do this one, honestly. Like, I had stuff to do after this. Right. Now I'm just. Also, just that's like. Might as well count that out. Full blown. That's pure Brad just crown. That's nothing like. It's not good. You know. No, it's just gross. So, I'd say even zero, four, five in. I'll be driving you to dinner tonight.

I cannot believe I'm losing at my own. I mean, I can believe that, but I just can't believe I'm the only one who's had to suffer the consequences of my own game. At the end, when we wrap this up, I'll take one with you. But CJ's like, well, I don't want to take anymore. Ben got through it by imitating Grandpa Ron. Just talk as Grandpa Ron for the rest of the podcast and you'll be all you want. That's what he said one time. I just used him as a total crutch. It's like I'm itching. I'm like a heroin addict.

You guys ever... Did you ever go on Omegle? Or is it Omegle? Omegle? Yeah. Oh, I talked to strangers. It was so weird, dude. It was always just old guys jacking off. I guess I just had to... Yeah. Oh, that's... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So you didn't... Let's unpack that a little bit. If you don't know that... Hold up. If you don't know that, then you never went on it. Wait, that...

You never went on it. You actually talked to old guys that were your age. No, you didn't talk to them. Well, they'd skip you, bro. They didn't want to see you. I don't know what their point was. It was so weird. It would have been when I was in like sixth grade. YouTube wasn't like super popping. You would play like addicting games or you would go to... There was a lot of different websites where you could go to watch videos or play games or...

or you would if your friend I never had one had a webcam so it was like this little cam you buy at Best Buy for like 20 bucks and you sit on top of your computer and then you could go on these random chat room websites and it's just random there's it was so dumb it was fun though if you would like run into I don't know why it was fun but

For some reason, if you ran into a group of girls that were your age, you'd be stoked. Grant, you would never get to meet these people in your life. How many people did you have to go through to get to a group of girls? That's the thing. Oftentimes, you'd end up just skipping through a bunch of guys jacking off. Yeah, a lot of dicks. Yeah. I don't even know if it's still a thing. It was weird. Well, it is, and that's what I was kind of leading into. Get to your story. How do you know they were jerking off? You saw their dick. It's a whole bunch.

They're just live. It's just right on their dick. Jerking off. Obviously, no face. You were too young to probably even... No, sometimes they'd be on it. Sometimes, yeah. They'd be jerking it, and you'd pop on and be like,

And they'd like stop for a second. And then one of you would be like. I'd have to agree. The ones that they put their face in is just like it makes it extra weird because they see you see them. Catch a charge. You know what we should do? We should all dress up as police officers and go out.

Holy crap. We got them. Yeah, and just say that. Oh, my God. I'm going to start trolling people. You probably can't hold them long enough to get a connection. Then get out of there, turn their computer off, throw it in the river. They'd skip it. At least quit some jacking off to 14-year-old girls on Omegle. Right. And that's the other crazy thing. I think they get off exposing themselves. So let's say however old we were at the time, 14, 15, like dudes is one thing, but girls like to go on it too. I wouldn't necessarily say alone, but they would go on there as groups. It was always – sorry.

Can you stop chewing into the mic? What's he eating? He's got the munchies. What'd you just eat? Trail mix? You got trail mix? Quit interrupting Mike's story. Sorry. It was a group thing, though. I think now it's starting to get bigger, in my opinion. And so people go on Omegle and stream, but they go on there, and now they can have better mics, better setups, better cameras. And so I just came across... I'm going to go with him first, but he's a YouTuber. His name is The Dew.

I think he normally games, but I came across him because he's a guitar player, and it's so impressive. He's easily one of the best guitar players I've ever seen. If Ken could pull it up, it's incredibly impressive. I have a question. Did you come across him on Omegle? I didn't. No, I don't use Omegle. Mike was just on yesterday. It's also interesting. Just talking to random people. Hey, so let me get to know you a little bit. It was a bummer because...

Yeah, I was jacking off and he didn't like that. He skipped through me really fast. I didn't get to hear him play that much. So he plays guitar. I'm like, oh, this guy must play guitar. He goes on Omega and then impresses the shit out of people. However, a bunch of people recognize him. Like, I mean, obviously he only puts the best ones in his videos, but a bunch of people are like, no, no, no, no way. No, no, no. Don't skip. Don't skip. Are you the do? And then he'll be like, yeah, maybe. And they're like, no way.

no way dude I can't believe can you play me a song and they're just like stoked and I'm like okay this guy must be a big deal yeah I was like and then I started looking at all of his other content and he only plays guitar like he only drops his guitar Omega video like once a month maybe he's mostly playing games

He's one of those YouTubers that are streamers or whatever. He plays games and he says the most offensive jokes. He's like Justin Dark meme type jokes. Just all this stuff they're saying, I cannot believe that they're even saying this. And then I realized that they don't show their face

Guys, I think we're really on to something. We get police costumes. That's pretty funny. And we try to catch them, but then we try to hold them up. We're like, don't skip, otherwise your sentence is going to be worse. And then we just hold them. Can you get in trouble for impersonating a police officer? Not when you're doing something like that. You're doing a good deed. Community worker. Okay, I mean, it's not this one, but this is him.

Okay, that's a pretty good-looking girl to be on Omegle. That's like what you want to run into when you were a kid. Why would a good-looking girl like that ever just hop on Omegle?

I don't know. You'd be surprised. Are people actually lacking human interactions that much that they want to just go and talk to random dudes with the chance of seeing a guy jerking? They'd probably like that, too. Who knows? I don't think it's necessarily either to talk with people. It's to be entertained because there's more people on there just entertaining people. So many people have so much time, especially when you're a young kid. Yeah, but she's not young. She's like 23. She's looking for love. She's a taxpaying citizen.

I love some sound on this. Yeah, this is totally fake. She's way too good looking to be honest. Okay, but they're not fake. This one might be, but they're not usually. Okay, what about Harry Mack? That dude is so talented. I know you guys have heard of him before. Harry Mack, I mean, we didn't really get to find out about the dude, but really, who cares? Whatever. That last video just had 20,000 comments. Wow.

With 1.7 million views with 20,000 comments. So he has all these, like, if you laugh at this video, seek help. And they, like, play games. And, dude, just the stuff they get away with saying. Just random stuff these people do. But it's him and his, like, let's say three buddies. None of them ever show their face ever in their entire career, basically, of YouTube. They never, ever show their face because if they did, they would be, like, they've said, so, like, the worst dead baby jokes. Yeah, like that. So they never show their face. Dude, looking at the views, he should just only do guitar videos on YouTube.

I think it's hard because it takes them a while to compile it. All right, where's the double guitar one? It's probably insane views. 5 million, 4 million. It's probably pretty hard with all the dicks he has to see. Dude, you know how easy that'd be? If you were someone who faked your stuff, you'd just be like, all right, I need a good-looking girl to go on Omega. We'll skip through until I get to you. Yeah, like, look at that one. And then we'll make a quick little clip, and it'll go viral, and I'll make X amount of dollars, and I'll give you a little bit. Like, this setup seems real. 25 million views.

I turn it up. People just freak, which I could see why if you came across him, you'd be like stoked. And he can play anything. They say, play Juice WRLD, play this solo of this song. And he could never have heard the song before ever, and he just listens to it, and then he plays it. I don't understand how. I was going to say, I wondered if he was also...

faking the guitar. I mean, there's no way he could get all these guitar clips. Like this one he could because he's just picking one. But when someone's like, play Juice WRLD. Yeah. And then he just rips it. Just an interesting way to make content. Go on there, get people's reactions. Obviously, he's incredibly talented, but it seems like he mostly plays video games. But,

Also, Harry Mack, a freestyle rapper, which if you just haven't seen him, you just got to go check him out. His Omegle stuff is my favorite. They give him three random words, and he just raps and raps and raps and raps and goes and goes. And he's so good. How is he not like... Why doesn't he just start making music? Because he's like, I don't really want to make songs. I make...

a ton of money staying on YouTube and freestyling. He's like, I like freestyling. He's like, I don't want to be signed by record because everyone on Omegle is like, dude, you're insane. How do you not have a record deal yet? He's like, I don't really want that. Yeah. So this is wild that he's just like, yep, I'm just going to stay streaming and uploading on YouTube. And like, that's his thing. But he totally could. I just saw a video of him today actually on my Instagram. He's dude, impressive. If you haven't seen Harry Mack, you got to check him out. I love it because when he goes up to the people,

He's like, hey, can I freestyle for you guys? And they'll be like, ugh. Yeah, they see it. Yeah, sure, I guess. You know, it's like every... Probably the reaction I would have. You just assume it's like a waste of your time and it's going to be garbage. And then he gets going. And you can just see their face turn around. And that's the best part, yeah. Because you'll say, give me...

But it's so random. He goes, give me a word or give me a couple words. And then he'll go for minutes. It's like a full song. My favorite is when he uses those three words and then makes a chorus. Like he'll use the three words, rhyme them all, do the chorus, then rip a bunch of verses, then go back to the chorus. All off the top of his head. Yeah, man. It's insane talent. Musicians are insanely talented people. Even people that can just shred on the guitar.

It's like, dude, that is an art that takes so much time. I feel you got to be a certain type of person. So much respect for it. Yeah.

And I feel like, dude, it could have been me. Except for you fell off that piano bench. It could have. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Your parents took the piano away from you. Yeah, man. No, actually, though, I took piano lessons for like eight years. I don't know if your parents made you take piano lessons when you were a kid. They did. I don't wish they would have. I took them for a long time. I think I quit maybe when I was like 15 or 16. And, dude, I never...

ever got better because I never practiced. I took piano lessons for 8 or 10 years and I can't play the piano. Dude, I wonder if we went to the same person. Did you go to Doris? You did? Okay, so Doris, I went to her too. Doris was your piano teacher? Yes, she was 95 years old. She was extremely old, very, very nice. She lived in the trailer park and

For me, I didn't like it because I would have hockey practice after and I was a little kid. I didn't want to go to piano and I didn't want to go to hockey. And my parents would make me go to both. It was like I'd go to school all day, which sucked. I'd come home, all the other kids were like getting to play or do whatever they want. And I'd have to put my hockey gear on.

and then go to piano because it was such a tight. So I had to practice piano in my hockey gear. Please tell me there's a picture. Please tell me there's a picture. He might have your arm. No, that was before Ben. He might not even have your arm. Wait, hold up. Wait, wait, wait. Skates and all? No, not skates. No, I think I would have my lower half on. Why? You could just slip that on, I feel like. Well, when you're a little kid, like I was little, little, like I was probably –

first grade or or maybe even kindergarten and it your parent had to dress you in your hockey year and i would be extremely hot and i would also get like an itch but i had all these pads on i think i had my skates on and it would drive me nuts i didn't want to be there at piano and then i didn't want to go to hockey it was a great way of like getting used to doing stuff you don't want to do yeah piano i told him like i'm done and then i settled for playing hockey it

It was one or the other for sure. Which I did end up liking as I got older. I just hated it as a little kid. As a kid. That's just one of those things. Either you like doing it or you don't. And if you don't like doing it, you're just not going to get better at it. I think they saw that. They saw that. When we had the piano recital and I picked the easiest song to do. They had a full church full of people. Sheesh.

That probably didn't want to be there. And I had to go up there and play a song. And I chose the easiest song. It was two keys. It was two black hands. I'm not kidding you. A whole crowd had to listen to me do that. I bet you shredded that shit. I bet you absolutely had the crowd on their feet standing ovation.

He's like, I'm over here thinking, you know, Hot Cross Buns. They were trying to talk me out of like, well, how about take me out to the ball field or whatever, you know? Like, nope. I just wanted to do the easiest little thing. Two black cats. I got out of there. Two black cats. I could still play to this day. Well, maybe because it's easy. I don't know. Talented musicians that can just pick up. They can sing. They can play the guitar, the bass, piano, guitar.

Man, it's so impressive. That's a tough industry, too, if you want to become a musician. My brother tried doing it out in, like, L.A. and traveling and getting gigs and doing all that for, like, a long time. And he was really, really talented. Mm-hmm. You know? But...

Just didn't, never had like a lucky break. Some people just get one lucky break and that's all it takes. And you have to put in like eight years to just get that one lucky break. Yeah. That one thing pop off and then the rest of it clicks. Cause like clearly the talent's all there. It's not like you just progressively get a little bit better and better and better. And finally they're like, Oh, Oh, you reached the point where you're at our level now.

I know you're a part of it. Is that how it goes? There's so many people that are so good at something that haven't been discovered yet. Yeah. If you can think outside of the box, that's another way to get big. Or yeah, there's the classic go to Nashville thing.

try to become a country singer. And you play at a bunch of bars. And you make probably 400 bucks a night. Or maybe not. I don't even know. I don't know how much they get paid. But it's a small amount for probably what they're worth. It's cool. We've talked about Twin Sick before, but we got a couple DJ buddies that it's cool to see them. That's just how it starts. They literally get their DJ equipment and then hopefully they can maybe make a song or two of their own or at least try making their own music. And then it's like they get

really crappy gigs like they're literally playing in the corner of a bar on a thursday night and then they get better gigs and then they get better gigs and next thing you know they're freaking steve aoki playing it right well you got to work your way up there's levels to everything yeah it always seems so hard each step seems hard but then you look back and you're like man i'm sure glad i did all of those things yeah if you do anything for three to five years and you consistently do it

And I mean consistently, you're doing this thing week after week. You're not just doing it like once or twice a year. Like, I mean, you're consistently doing it. You're going to get better. It doesn't matter what it is. You might not even, it could be like me trying to play piano. I probably cannot, I would never be a good piano player, but if I did it every week consistently, I worked on it every, every two days I played the piano for an hour or two, I'd probably end up being pretty decent. My siblings, uh,

I was the youngest child of three, and I was always that kid that just didn't have anything. I had nothing going my way or for me. Sam had his music, and Natalie, she was a really good singer. She was going to go pro golfer. She did. She was a pro golfer.

And then there was me. Me and you. Me and you. But also, thankfully, I had CJ. Well, yeah, you're sitting there like, well, I got this dirt bike. What else do I got? It wasn't even that. We were just messing around doing our own thing. That's what I'm saying. You were like, all I do is...

Putz around with CJ on our dirt bikes or whatever. Like, whatever you guys did. Dude, we didn't do anything. I mean, we did a lot of stuff. Some days we would watch TV all day, and some days we would go scooter all day, and other days we would ride dirt bikes all day. It was just... Some days we'd play video games all day. It was like...

Whatever you wanted to do that day. It was so random. There was nothing about us that you were just like, these guys. That's his point, I guess. When you're growing up and people watching this right now might feel like they don't have their thing or they're compared to their siblings or their dad or their mom is so successful and you're compared to that and you feel like you have nothing going for you or you feel like you're not special in any way.

That shit comes with time. You might be so surprised to find out what works for you that you never saw coming and nobody else did. Yeah. Because I guarantee nobody...

In our family, me and CJ were going to be the ones to do something. Not that we're anything special. I'm not saying that. We would even have millions of people that want to watch us dick around. And I think most of our family probably still doesn't understand what it is about us. But yeah, I would say the people that just feel that way, because I'm sure a lot of you do.

Um, just know like that, that's not who you are forever. And, and, uh, but you, you got to take that in your own initiative. You have to put yourself out there, try new things. And even if you think you have your thing, you could say like, Oh, like my thing is this. You still got to try new things. I think it's very important. Definitely. But don't beat yourself up over it. Yeah. A hundred percent. A hundred percent.

All right. Keep on keeping on. On that note, I'm going to do one. Should we all do a shot? I'm just going to do one to celebrate Matt's win. Dude, I can't do anymore. I'm done. I have stuff I need to do. Come on, one more. I'm not going to be able to drive. You know what? I can't drive right now. Let's do it. All right. Fine, I'll take one. I don't care. That felt good.

Been holding that one in. I cannot believe you guys made it the whole podcast. Cheers. We don't have potty mouth. Yeah, I only brought one shot glass because I just figured like only one person would swear at a time. That's Ben's verdict on how the crown tastes. This is not good. I know. But neither is like alcohol. I don't know if it's that bad. But I mean, anything straight isn't good. Fuck. If you guys want a good drink at home and you're over the age of 21, do a crown lemonade.

Ryan? Yeah, you ain't wrong on that. TJ got us on that because it's just dang good. Crown lemonade is amazing. And if you are, like, really not into, like, harsh drinks, do a crown apple lemonade, and they're amazing. I know a lot of people did the beer most, the orange juice and the beer, and they'll send me them on, like, weekdays in the morning. I'll always have them in my message. In my message requests, I'll go through, and I'll see, like,

Beer Mosa, you know, it's funny. Good job, Ryan. All right, I got to go call my mom. All right, last one. Oh, we are getting one from him. This is good. Guess where? Guess where?

I'm not swearing. I'm trying to be better. If you made it to the end of the podcast. I don't have a potty mouth. I'm just an alcoholic. That's it. We love you guys. Subscribe. Thank you so much.
