All right, what's up, guys? Welcome back to the Life Wide Open podcast. This one is a little bit different. We're feeling pretty good about it. We finally got a Jamie cam or Ken cam. Cut to Jamie. Woo! Woo!

After 20-some episodes of every single time we mention Ken or Ken has something to say, we have to flip the mics around like that just so we can get the audio from behind and then you can't even see what he's saying. So somebody had the big brain move to just put a camera on him. Who knows? One day you might even get to speak. One day. How you doing over there, Jamie? Yeah, you didn't seem too excited about the idea. I don't know. It's more work for Ryan.

It's true. It's one more camera angle to edit. It seems simple to add that in. It's just such a subtle deflection. It's like we don't even notice them anymore. That's what I was going to say. You talk during every podcast. This is no different. Now then you actually get your screen time. There should be no skin off your back. Okay. That's good then. I'm just glad Ken gets to defend himself a little bit now. We talk a lot of shit.

Sometimes when Ken's not on here. Yep. And you just have to yell from behind. That's not true. I got the power to mute you. Yeah. Ken actually does hold a lot of power back there. Uh, we've, we've talked about maybe getting like a fifth camera or a fifth microphone kind of set up in the middle. Cause then when we have like Justin on or, or, uh, Evan or like one of like the main homies, it's always hard to decide like who hops off. And we've kind of done a couple of different renditions of it, but I think the, it's,

If there's almost five people, that's a lot. And we try not to talk over each other. But that's difficult with that many people. I think we're pretty good at it, not talking over each other. I think it'd be fun sometimes. I guess just leave a comment down below what you guys think about that or if four is the perfect number. Well, boys, I think we missed a big opportunity this weekend.

This weekend, this past weekend, we spent 24 hours in a snow fort.

And that was just 24 hours straight. Probably a good 48 hours collectively almost. I think we should have done a podcast inside of the snow fort. I agree. It would have been so hard though. With everything else on top of what we did throwing a podcast into the mix it would almost have been unrealistic. Obviously in hindsight it would have been sick but

But dude, it was hard enough just to have like the energy to flip the camera on for like updates throughout it, let alone put together an entire podcast. Yeah. You know what I think we should have done? We should have done it for 50 hours.

Then you would have had time. Well, yeah. If you look at Mr. Beast, every time he does one, he does for 50. We're doing pussy ass 24 hours. Why 50 hours? It looks better. Looks better probably for the title. We should have done 50. What did he do for 50 hours? I buried a lot of stuff. I think I could not have done 50 hours. I could have. I was chilling. I could have totally done 50 hours if we not have to dig that ourselves and carry all that gear out. You know, if I walked in there with my sleeping bag and my gear,

I could... That's true. I was chilling, dude. I could have kept doing it. I could have done it. I don't think I could have done it, to be completely honest with you. I was pretty tapped out after 24. And going into the night, I don't know how well we captured it on camera, but I don't know where Ken got this idea that I was going to quit if I made a couple jokes about it. But Ken...

at least every five, 10 minutes would be like, dude, just quit. All you have to do is just quit right now. We'll both leave. We'll both get our cars wrapped. I'm like, why are you soloing me out for this? I'm not going to quit. I was trying to manifest it. Yeah. So if you, if you watch the video, we, uh, or haven't, we did it.

A consequence, if you didn't stay the 24 hours. In the igloo. Yes, in the igloo that we built. The consequence was if you bailed, you get your car wrapped however we want to wrap it, and you have to keep it that way for a month. And no one backed out. I'm pretty surprised. I mean, like CJ said, it wasn't the end of the world. I mean, we had a TV. We had heaters. We had a keg of beer, pizzazz steak. It was great. It was very luxury. It was pretty luxury, but still by the end of it, dude, I was so...

mentally fatigued i was just like i'm just ready to be warm like fully warm you know like sitting in a nice room warm and shower and brush my teeth and just feel like the feeling of being whole and like warm you know dude i i think i could have done 50 hours if i felt more safe about our what we built yeah that's true that was mostly what i was worried about

I'm not going to lie. I was having PTSD sleeping last night, dude. So I stayed at Greta's house and I probably woke up five times throughout the night and...

the room was just dark enough where it brought me back to the cave and I'd look up at the ceiling and I, and it brought me back to the moment where I'd like freak out. Like I had like PTSD of being like claustrophobic because the whole time, I don't know if I said this to you guys, I was fucking scared of that ceiling falling, falling in on us. And like every time somebody new would come in, they would just be like, wow, wow,

this is sketchy. And I'd be like, is it really that sketchy? And he'd be like, oh yeah, oh yeah, you could die. You probably will die. Yeah, you will die. Yeah. And after hearing that like five different times, it really starts to think about it. And then the ceiling does start to cave and collapse. And then you're like, oh shit. And then, and then you sleep in that. And I had it pretty good. I was kind of on like the edge of it.

My cat just slept right in the middle. And actually, kind of all of you guys just slept right underneath the ceiling. So the issue with it is people are like, why didn't you build it more...

more caved like so then all the pressure isn't just sitting there flat right because when you make an igloo if you basically have all the weight is just dispersed kind of at angles and that's what holds it up where we didn't have that luxury of having a big enough snow pile so the ceiling was just basically flat and um i was really scared honestly i was worried about that and and like that was like the hardest part i had to get like drunk enough where i was like kind of just accepted it

And then I was ungodly hungover, which made it even worse. And then once the buzz kind of wore off, then I was just like, oh, shit. This is scary. I went out there, and it actually still hadn't collapsed yet.

That's good to hear. It does make me feel a little bit better, I guess. I think, though, the heater, because I slept next to the heater. The heater wasn't on, but it had run periodically throughout the night. And that was weakening the ceiling severely. Actually, the only chunk of the ceiling that fell was about six inches from my head in the morning. That's what woke me up. Then I couldn't fall back to see if he was going to follow me. But it was still up this morning. So I was like, you know what? Maybe we were a little too worried.

I think we were. I was also worried about the ventilation of it running that propane heater in it. Because we literally had... No, I mean, if you're in a fish house and you got the propane going on, you don't really think about that. But I was just like, dude, I can see the news articles. Five idiot YouTubers died doing their stunt. Everyone reading would be like, I knew that was going to happen. Yeah, that's how that was going to go. And I

I don't know. It was just, I was worried about that too. In hindsight, probably didn't need to be, but it was just like the little things in the moment where once, once you're out, you're like, thank God. Yeah. You guys are talking gibberish. You can, and Mike,

Ben, Ken, and Mike were literally talking gibberish at the end of the night. It was like 3.30, 4 in the morning, right after we lost the generator seized up. So Ryan and I were cranking on that thing for like 30 minutes out in the pitch dark. But we got it going, and you guys were just sitting in there talking gibberish. All three of you talking gibberish. CJ and I walked in, and we kind of like sat down. We looked at each other. Yeah, we gave each other just a look. Just look like what?

What are they talking about right now? You guys had officially lost it. Maybe the fumes did get to you. I'm pretty sure the fumes did play a part in that. I don't know. It was just three really stupid people trying to talk to each other. No one knew what they were saying, and Ryan and I looked at each other and said, well, let's go to bed. Yep. Everyone got packed up and went to bed.

Yeah, I don't think there was anything wrong with us. We're all just really stupid. We genuinely wanted to get a solid liquor blanket on for the night ahead of us. You see, I was the opposite. I did not want to. And CJ was like, well, why would I get drunk tonight when I can drink all day tomorrow? Which is exactly what you did. It wasn't necessarily that. It was more so the fact that if something was going to go wrong, I wanted to be in a right state of mind to like,

right handle it yeah deal really or like i didn't want to go to bed and feel out of control of anything yeah i was out of control i was 100 i regret all my decisions that was the right decision to make yeah i appreciate i appreciate that you guys doing that i wasn't nearly as scared as you so like it didn't matter to me that like but i still appreciate that there was someone there to be in control but i didn't think it was going to get out of control

I didn't see that, like, the headline, the five-year... Like, we weren't doing anything that extreme. The ceiling was deteriorating, but it wasn't, like... That was the thing. Everyone always is like, oh, what you do is so dangerous. And I was at the dentist the week before, and they were talking just...

Honestly, like shit. It was like, oh, you haven't died during one of your stunts. I was like, yeah, no, I'm here. I'm fine. And they're like, what are you doing this weekend? We're like, we're just digging a snow cave. Like, it's not even dangerous. It's more creative. Yeah. And then the news happened. I was like, this would be the thing that would take us out. But when I was sitting there, I was like, oh,

I just am so sick of people always going like, oh, what's the next crazy stunt you're going to do? So I thought of the next time that someone asked us that, I'm just going to come up with the most outrageous story ever. They're going to be like, what are you guys going to do this weekend? We're like, oh, we actually have four horses and we're going to drag Ken apart by each limb and we'll see how long he can hang on.

Or like, oh, we're actually just going to drive as fast as we can and then turn. Into a brick wall. Into a brick wall. And just say actually crazy things. Probably get them talking. They probably talk about you. Be good publicity. People will be like, I gotta look up this and see if they actually did it. Yeah, so Ben's dad's got an airplane and we're going to ghost ride it.

Just jump out, parachutes obviously, but the plane, just let it go down wherever it goes. Some guy actually did that. Yeah. And he got called out for it big time by a bunch of airplane YouTubers. Yeah, they said he could have landed it. Wait, what? No. Some dude just... I can't remember the context of it, so I don't want to speak on it too in depth, but some dude got up in an airplane...

like vlogged him like taking off and doing everything like that and then had like gopro mounts like perfectly angled it was like a weirdly set up it was totally was he a youtuber i watched it i know uh he was trying he was set up he was trying to become a youtuber oh he is one he is what he makes videos all the time okay so he youtube and then the engine failed or something went wrong with it where he had to skydive out so he just so happened to have like

His equipment. And he just hopped out and just bailed and let the plane crash. And it was conveniently over. Like no panic. It was over this field. And it was kind of like an older, cheaper plane. And it went down.

Then he uploads this thing, and, like, it's a pretty damn good title and thumbnail, like, having to skydive out of my airplane. I mean, yeah. Because it broke, and, like, he survives, and then he goes and sees his crashed airplane. But, like, the way it was cut, the way it was acting, it was so obviously fake. Honestly, what he should have done was just crashing my airplane on purpose. Yeah. Like, then no one could have been mad. Yeah. Except for, like, people, aviation people take that shit seriously, as you probably should if you're flying an airplane. Like, there is no room for dicking around.

Like when Whistlin' Diesel bought his plane and he didn't even take it off the ground, they were so freaking mad about it. They thought it was so dangerous and like the FFA was all up in arms about it. FAA, not the FAA. Future Farmers of America. That's okay. I just didn't want you to get rid of it. No, right. Yeah. But yeah, no, it was just so obviously fake.

He did it on purpose, but he tried passing off like, oh, my shit stopped working. So, I mean, technically... He got called out hard. You can't skydive out of the plane at the last minute. So you kind of have to make your decision early, but did he try to fix it? No, they're saying he could have just landed it. He could have just coasted and landed it. And he just jumped right out, that bitch. Yeah.

How did he get his plane back? I mean, obviously, I got to see if it's still up. He was getting heat from it and enough heat where he turned off the comments. Oh, I'm like, bro, if you turn off the comments, you're looking guilty. You got to own that. And he's probably not trying to argue back that he could. You know, well, maybe I could have or no, I couldn't have because he probably knows it. He knows it's fake, obviously.

Who goes up in an airplane with their own parachute ready? It's right here. I don't know. It seems like a good idea. It's like going out on a boat with a life jacket. His name is Trevor Jacob. I haven't seen the video. He just posted the video. It was two months ago. 1.6 million views. That's all he got for crashing a plane? He just says, I crashed my plane.

Oh, I thought he would do better. Same. I hope he thought he would do better, too. Maybe YouTube throttled it and they were like, we don't want... Bro, we cut the roof off a limo and got more views. It's about as real as it gets. I mean, or like the idea of it is like him just taking off and it's like he just has the GoPros going. That dude's had some interesting videos. I mean... Whether or not that's...

Are you sure we're talking about the same person? He doesn't really post that much. How do you know what his videos are? I've seen a few. Really? Yeah. Mike? Hi, I'm Angie Hicks, co-founder of Angie.

Told me about a really interesting, I don't know if we're done talking about. Oh. Jeez, kid. Damn, Jamie. Yeah, you guys haven't seen this? I haven't. So he just takes off. He's playing it cool. You know, I hate to say that the guy completely faked it. Then it's just like, oh, the engine.

And, like, I don't know. It's just everything was just so. It just hops out. I mean, to be fair, it doesn't look like there's a ton of landing spots there. No, they're saying he could have just coasted it right around. Like, I don't know. Dude, there's, like, pilots reacting to it and saying that it's so clearly fake. Yeah, I mean, I don't really know anything. He just jumps out that bit. He's like, oh. Oh, and then it tanks. That's crazy. Yeah, because he's not probably holding the thing, so it just goes straight down. Wow.

Good day for skydiving, though. Honestly, I was ready with the GoPro cam. Are you kidding me? Look at him looking back up at Joe Rogan. What if it just started following you? His headphones are sitting here like. I mean, it's pretty. He's got it for a long time. That's what I mean. Like he was in. He was skydiving for like 45 seconds of like straight falling. So I feel like he could have.

He's got one finger on that thing. He could have had a little more time to figure out what he was going to do. Because this thing's still going down. I guess we're going to have to try it. Did it start a fire? No, I think it's a pretty good video idea. I'm just saying he should have just owned it. For sure. I crashed my plane on purpose. He would probably have way more views that way. Yeah, I agree. So then what? I got to see it hit. Yeah, I want to see it crash into the thing. What's the angle from the sky? Is that him? Those planes aren't very much money. That thing's probably 60 grand tops.

I don't even think that much. I mean, I've seen people do worse for less. Here we go. Boom. Dang. That was a hard hit. Dude, he had this thing GoPro'd up. Yeah. There's a GoPro shot of where it's landing to of it coming down. The weird thing is, being a YouTuber, did he not have a plan? What do you mean a plan? Sorry. What makes it seem...

is he doesn't come off and he's like, today we're going to go fly to this place. No, I think he just had his GoPro's going in case maybe, because I mean a lot of people do GoPro themselves just doing stuff. I mean that's true, but he had so much and he was- There was a lot of GoPros on that. A lot of GoPros. He had to have like five. Holy crap. Yeah, I know, but it's the ending that makes it seem so fake. Because if you're listening to him talk, he's like, okay.

Now I got to get out of here. And he like hikes and then like he like gets to the road and there's like a car come by and goes, hey, stop, stop. And then like they like stop and like the video cuts like hops in. I don't know. It's just kind of cringe, bro. I do feel bad if this was a complete accident. The dude has his plane stalled out on him. We're not the first people calling him out on like there's pilots like, dude, why would you jump out?

It's so interesting the way that it crumpled. Like, the whole thing. Especially a plane like that, I think. Okay, the engine's completely off, but I'm still flying. I can still jump out. Yeah, but I guess if you were like, well, I have this parachute ready to roll...

The chance of me... That was like Brian Laundrie. That's what I thought initially, too. I thought maybe it wasn't. This is what he was up to. He fucking... Vlogged his whole way out, at least. Turned the YouTuber mode on. Yeah, just go to the very end. Yeah, he's like sipping the water out of the... Oh, he had a camelback? No, he was sipping water out of a river, like... Making noise like that. Now go to the end. Go to the end. CJ. I don't know. I don't care that it's fake. I just...

I don't know. He should have just owned up. What's he holding on to there? A water bottle? He's explaining to these random ass people. I crashed my plane. I would say moral of the story with...

content exactly like this we try our best to do this is like if you're going if you're gonna like do something crazy and try to have it come off as like staged or whatever or come across as a certain way you're better off just owning up to it I'd just do it real that's all I'd say or not owning up to it or whatever you're better off just like putting it out there and saying I did this not this happened how crazy is that

And trying to set it up like... Yeah, the internet's real quick to call you out on this shit. Yeah, I mean, it's like the odds, especially if you're not good at it. That one wasn't half bad, but... Hey, Mike told me something super interesting earlier. He found this YouTuber that dug a hole, like a cave... Oh, it's so cool. ...from a shop to his house. What? Yeah.

Yeah, like he just straight up dug like a pretty bad ass tunnel, right? Yeah. He's very like Mark Rober-esque, you know, doesn't upload very often. Because he's been digging a cave. Yeah, because it actually takes him that long. Like jackhammering, like, you know, cutting out literal rocks. And then he puts up, he welds frames in and then he puts mesh in.

wire mesh on all of it and then he fills that with concrete like it's as legit as it gets. And on his part seven series, he finally made it to his house. But he's doing like everything perfectly. Is that legal? Can you dig a tunnel? Ben asked the same thing. I said the same thing, but Elon Musk is out here just boring tunnels. He has permits. Right.

That's true. You're not just digging. I would say, like, if you really wanted to do it, you could do it. You know? It's just no one wants to do it because it's like the amount of work that it looks like it takes. It's been at it for six months. Just making digging videos. Well, do you think about how hard it was to dig a tunnel in the snow? Yeah. So, that got me thinking, though. All right. So, we got our new property. And there's just one house in between our shop and our new property. We just bore a tunnel from the shop. Just...

Pops out in the middle of the field. That'd be pretty badass. I mean, so keep in mind his tunnel is probably a fifth of that length, maybe less. But he didn't have little minions like we do. Right. But no, that would be actually that would be the coolest thing ever. When Ken's minions are done filling his orders, they come back up two days later like black faces like mine. How far did you guys make it? Five feet. Yeah, five feet. Not bad. Not bad.

Come back tomorrow. That's what I kept thinking about when we were digging the snow cave. I was like, guys, this isn't that bad. Because think about Pablo Escobar's people that had to dig him his caves. You know? Yeah, real caves are a lot harder. That shit would have been way harder because it's not snow. It's like dirt. Yeah, it wasn't Pablo Escobar. It was El Chapo, but yeah. El Chapo, yeah. Well, I'm pretty sure Pablo Escobar had caves too. He might have, but El Chapo was like, he's like the tunnel god. He has tunnels everywhere. They like tunneled him in and out of prison, didn't they? Dude, he escaped to...

That's crazy. Weird El Chapo fact. All right, so he goes to prison, and I can't remember how long he was there for. Yeah. And his crew buys a farmhouse a mile and a half away from the prison, and there's prison video of him going into his shower and then just disappearing. Well, they...

built a tunnel from this farmhouse a mile and a half down, right? And then into his cell. So he dips out of his cell, gets on this motorcycle that has a motorcycle. And then rides his motorcycle a mile and a half through the tunnel, pops up in this farmhouse. And then obviously his crew's there to grab him. And then they shuffle them all over the place. And then by the time they realized that he was missing, he was already like pretty much probably at the end of the tunnel. Yeah. It's like crazy, dude.

The motorcycle is the best part. I mean, granted, a mile and a half long tunnel, but... I wonder if he was worried about carbon monoxide. Probably not. That's what I... How? Like, how? They just dig out underneath the whole prison and it just falls in. I don't know, man. I guess you got to put those type of guys on the second floor.

He pays those guys a lot. I think I'm ready to hang up my tunnel digging for a while. Yeah, I don't blame you. I mean, it's just a lot of work. You guys all follow, like, we have a lot of fan pages. Not a flex, we just do. There's a lot. You have a ton. I have a lot. You guys have quite a few, too. But there's the main fan pages I call. They're all ran by one person.

I won't disclose his name, but we kind of know who he is. But anyway, all we're not asking them to make the right, right. Clear. And he, he made a, he's got Jonah. He's got cheddar. He's got jet ski, Ryan. He's got speedo Mike. And then he's got, it's just Ken Matthews fan page. And so those are the mains. You can tell by the followers. They're like all. And he, and like the main seat. And he, yes. And see boys TV fans. He also runs. So he runs the main fan accounts. I,

I am so entertained by just like the dynamic that he creates within these fan pages. Like he was like literally posted a picture that Ben was like surfing with Alex way back in the day. I mean, I don't know how old you were. CJ's girlfriend. CJ's girlfriend. You were like,

13 or something. Anyway, it was like Cheddar posting it, like trying to start beef with Jonah. And it's just so funny. And it was like, I'm just picturing him like just killing it, running all seven, six of these accounts.

He logs out of Cheddar, goes back into Jonah, comments on it. He does, and he'll share something on Speedo Mike, and then he'll share something on Seaboy. He's very invested, and it's just so entertaining. So if you guys aren't following, if there's any fan pages worth following, it would be those ones. He's so dedicated to it. He's so dedicated. He's so dedicated to it. And I was like, dude, this has got to take a lot of time, right? And he was like, no, not really.

I mean, not that much time. And all of his buddies were like, bro, that's all you do. Yeah.

Yeah. Like he, he genuinely like sits down and like thinks about like he creates content. He's not just reposting our stuff. That's the coolest part about it. Yeah. He was, I was asking him, where do you find most of these things? Cause he's got a dig for a lot of them. And he was like, yeah, you know, that's something I pride myself on is I don't just take your guys's content and just repost it. I actually have to work for some of it and, or I'll go in and,

screenshots, some of the Snapchats that you wouldn't normally see or things like that. Which I love. He made that little edit on my TC, too. He put many different videos together and then made a full-blown edit about my car to bring my car back, which did make me decide I'm buying that shit back. Are you? That's sweet. Dude, we should hire that kid for something. The dedication he's got. Yeah, we really should. Yeah. Yeah.

Like some sort of social... I mean, it's impressive. He's a better poser than us. Dude, can you just run all of our personal pages? It's cool seeing him create content about you or about any of you that you haven't seen in a certain way or a certain light. You may have seen it before. It's also unfortunate that he's doing some digging on our Facebooks and stuff because...

You know, there's embarrassing stuff you did at 14 years old unintentionally. Yeah, Ryan went in and deleted most of his stuff. Bro, I was a big social media guy.

I love taking pictures. Especially on Facebook. I'm looking at my Facebook pics like, why did I put this up there? Because you just upload albums. I just went through actually yesterday and deleted some random photos. Why did I upload this? I left some golden nuggets of me and Ken up on there still though. You got to leave those. There's some good ones. Ryan and Ken, best friends back in the day. You're buying your TCU back?

Why? Why? Well, okay, this is what I'm thinking. I'm going to sell my truck and I'm going to buy a ZL11LE. And I don't want to drive that down the gravel, so I'm going to buy my TC back and then I'll have a rally TC. Can you buy it back? Where is it? He lives in the same apartment building as my sister. No way. Yeah. Hey, CJ, you know what that TC has on it now? A dog.

Dumbass wing. Dumbass wing. I'm taking the wing off. I'm taking the carbon fiber hood wrap off. No, no, no. The carbon fiber wrapped hood. I figured you guys would all like that. I thought you liked mods like that, guys. We'll fix it up. I'm going to make it look how I had it. ABS wing. Yeah, I'm going to make it look how I had it. And then my dad bought his high school car back, too. And that would be pretty cool to have mine. I'm personally all for it. Yeah, I think you should. All for it. I think that's a great car. And I think that...

If push came to shove, this sounds so dumb, but let's say you blew the motor on it. You know how those motors are a dime a dozen? Yeah. He's listening to this right now and the price is just going up. He wants it back. He wants it bad. He's giving himself a 12. I don't know what it's worth, but... I don't know what you're doing. CJ is just playing with his cord over there and...

I think it was the fact that he was yawning at the same time. Oh, that's what you're doing. Fuck. Super random. But would you guys install Elon Musk's neural link into your brain? No. Yeah. Mike needs all the help he can get. Okay. All right. Okay. Perfect. CJ, we'll start with you. Why?

Why would I want to install a chip into my brain? I'd rather just be me. Does it change you? You better. I'm not going to run that risk. I already like how I am. I think right now what they want to use it for or what they're building it for is people that have, let's say they're paralyzed, and it should be able to reconnect your brain and your spinal cord. No idea how. Yeah. And then you're able to obviously...

And when you control your whole nervous system, I think. Yeah. But then, but then they talk about it. If you're installing it in and, and then what if it gets to the point where it's just like a built-in computer and it's just like downloadable facts or something like that. Just insane. Or what if, what if someone hacks that and everyone who has a neural link now turns into like, that'll be there under their control. And they're like, I can't do it. You know? And they just turn into like a zombie. Yeah.

That's why I would never do it. Is mind control, is that part of it? Who knows? To have control of your whole brain, that's like... Yeah, you brought up the hacker thing, and that makes me kind of rethink because Elon is not the typical...

he's not hungry necessarily for money or power and I don't think he's ever been malicious. That's why I feel comfortable. Who knows? They might have used to say that about Putin. But yeah, I don't think Elon Musk is malicious. I don't know if they ever did, but they might have. They said about Hitler, they thought he was such a great guy. Listen, we've hung out a few times with Ken, obviously. He's a good guy. What about you, Ken? No. You wouldn't? No.

Maybe after it's like 20 years and it's been there on the market, but I just don't think the risk of things that can go wrong versus the benefits is worth it. It's different if you obviously have an extreme situation like being paralyzed where the risk to reward is worth it. Yeah, that's true. But if you're just chilling and you're just like, I want to have access to everything on the internet.

In my brain, then I guess that's kind of a, it does sound kind of sick when you say it like that. I can see it being like a flex thing. You know, I'm sure it's not going to be cheap. But then it's not fair. Yeah. So they talk about that as well. So the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. You know, you're creating these products that

are just only yeah they're basically just tailored to rich people getting smarter and putting themselves in more positions to get richer right so then it's like if only they can afford it and then they're they are like clearly like the top one percent of like knowledge right out there then how do you even compete with that well that's the way i think about it so i agree maybe being an early adopter of it would be a little sketchy right but

Think about it. Like there's Botox to make you look prettier. There's steroids to make you, to help enhance your muscles. There's all these enhancing things. You don't like your boobs, you make them bigger. So what if you could like amplify your brain activity and you could make yourself be a better person?

like maybe physical human as in like the way you move if you're paralyzed or emotional maybe they can fix some emotional damage and shit like that they make you more even keel or they make you smarter and you can do your job better like say you're a ceo and you need like to constantly be able to grab these informations or even like a number cruncher type of person i think like think about having like that amount of data in your brain

You'd like, you'd be able to process things so fast because you'd have all this type of information coming at you. You're like, Hmm, okay. I'm going to like a stock trader. I could see it just being golden for like, they'd be able to pull all this information. I don't really know how it fricking works, but like I'm imagining it being like a digital NZT pill that just makes you a way better human. I agree. There's total risks, but like if you could be better, why not?

Risk to reward, baby. That's true. What's the difference from that in your phone? I mean, obviously there's differences. Don't you have the world at your fingertips right here? Yeah. But you don't have to carry. But people at that point are going to be so fucking lazy that they don't even want to type it in anymore. That's what I mean. But to say we're both competing CEO or we're both stock traders.

And the tickers going by right here. And I go, okay, I wanted to see if this stock is going up or down. And I go like, boom. And I do this magical thing in my brain that makes a thing neural link work. And then I get to review all the facts right there in my head. Or however, I, if I can control it with the screen faster, I don't literally do not know how the shit works, but then it, I can do it 75% faster than you. I'm better at my job. And then you fall behind. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know if anybody really knows how it works. We're just speaking in hypothetical terms. Totally.

Yeah, I guess if you can give yourself any bit of advantage, that's where there's points to that. I think it's then something to be said about the phone thing. So I think of, well, what's the difference with your phone? Obviously, it's like a thing you have to hold in your hand or have with you or make sure it's with you. But a lot of things on a cell phone are made to keep you on that cell phone and sell to you. Now, however this would work with Neuralink, if there was anyone that somehow could...

make money off that then i'd be like completely out think if you had something in your head like they will make money yeah well no they'll make money off it but that's what i'm saying like if they are trying to like sell something basically like yeah that would be i mean as dumb as it sounds but yeah that that would be awful like if you had near link in your head and there was even you were subtly they were collecting your information and repurposing and making

money on it. Oh, they would have your information. You would be their data collector. Yeah. But it's like you open your phone to legitimately look something up and the next thing you know you might be on Instagram. Hopefully that type of thing doesn't happen with Nearlink. Like you just use Nearlink to strictly do good. So then what happens to the school system? Well, yeah, they make like an age limit on when you can get it. They like push it like the vaccine. Yeah. Yeah.

Get your Neuralinks today. We lowered the age to five years old. You can get Neuralink installed. Oh, you don't have a Neuralink? Yeah, you can't come into our store. You don't have Neuralink? Well, you're not going to be able to keep up in this class then. Also, the tough thing about it is listening to Elon Musk explain it. So, so over my head. I mean, you get the gist, right? But then he starts explaining on how and why you do it this way and what it would really take to actually do it.

It all goes over my head. I think that'd be one of the things that like the aliens are watching us do. And they're just like, Oh, this is good. They started putting computers in their heads. Hey, Steve, you want to see if you can hack this or maybe let's give it a year and see. You guys remember that show black mirror? Yeah. It's, it sounds like an episode of a black mirror. I mean, there definitely is things they had contacts and stuff they'd put in. You could control it. They had chips too.

You could put in and out, but the creators of that show, when COVID started, they were like making a new season. And they said that the world doesn't need another black mirror season. And they quit making it because it was like so dystopian. And so many things were coming true. They were like, the world doesn't need another black mirror. And they just quit.

That is insane. Which could be a cop out. Could literally be like everybody that does a shitty job at their business goes, Oh, COVID really has made things tough for us. Like to go to excuse. Maybe that's what they did. They, maybe they didn't want to make another show and they wanted to chill in. But it does sound, they're like, every time we make more Black Mirror episodes, just as crazy as shit happens pretty much in the world.

So when you go to bed, when you plug your phone in, do you also have to plug your brain in? I mean, I don't think so, but yeah, what does it run on? I don't know if they've actually really announced it as it was for like the average person. I think it's just for people with disabilities. To me, it would be golden. If I couldn't walk right now, I'd be like, yes. If you have disabilities, then you'll do whatever you got to do to make it right. Yeah. We just totally went on a tangent. It's the future though. I wouldn't be surprised. I think maybe later on it'll be available for...

like the average human maybe if you want to but i'm not i'm not sure if they've really announced that yet he said possibly in the future you know that's maybe his goal support for life wide open podcast is brought to you by our friends over at manscape the leaders in male grooming they're

Speaking of first cars rhyme, I don't know why this just popped in my head. I kind of have a story about me and my first car. It was a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and I had my license for like five months, and I rear-ended my second grade teacher with it. What? Yeah. Yeah, the day before Christmas. The day before Christmas Eve, actually, yeah. Rear-ended her like hard. Fucking hard. Wait. Sounds weird saying I rear-ended my second grade teacher really hard, but I did.

You either get an A or an F. Did she remember you? Yeah. No way. Yeah, I mean, I fucking, so here's the story. Me and my friends, I'm in the ninth grade, so I would have been, I don't know, 14, 15. I would have been 15. Just green behind the wheel. Yep. I'm driving my car. We got like one of those little cassette tapes that goes into the cassette because my car had a cassette.

and then a cord comes out of it, and you can hook up for MP3 on your phone. So just got that. It was like $7 at Walmart, blaring some Lil Wayne. We're driving. New Noodles & Company was in town in Fargo, so we're looking, trying to find it. Super busy because there's like, you know, obviously... Hold the... Why is this right here? I didn't see it. Is that... That's Jake's helmet? This is Jake's helmet that he...

He said we stole like a month ago. So did you steal it? Why would I steal it and then freak out about finding it? Why is this right here? I actually don't know. Somebody here has to know because he has been hot on my tail because he blamed me for like taking it and hiding it. And every time I see him, he goes, dude, just where's my helmet? Yeah, he was pretty convinced it was here. And I looked everywhere for that thing. What the heck? It wasn't me. All right.

It's on your helmet. Anyway, CJ, continue. I didn't know what. Me too. I got scared. Yeah, I was really confused. I thought you were just remembering the story or something. Yeah, yeah. No. So anyways, basically, all the traffic got backed up, so they were stopping way earlier than you normally would. I'm looking this way. That's when the reruns happen. Boom. I mean, hit this...

This minivan is so hard. It sent it into the car in front of her. So it was a three-car pileup. Yikes. I mean, it totaled my car just because it was totaled. I mean, it wasn't worth much, but totaled her van. She had like a new minivan, totaled that bitch. And then it went into... Wait, were kids in there? Yeah, they're in the back. Jesus, dude. Yeah, it was bad. I felt bad, but it also wasn't... It was bad, but it wasn't that bad because no one was hurt. That's good. So anyways...

I'm like, holy fuck. I couldn't believe what I just did. Yeah, because you just started driving. I hop out. I hop out. And she hops out. Imagine how confused I was, my second grade teacher. And she was hot. I'm sure, dude. Like mad hot. She was like mad hot, dude. Like mad. And she jumps out and she goes...

how fast were you going? And then realized it was me. And then she felt all bad. She's like, Oh my gosh, are you CJ? And I was like, yeah, it's like, like gave me a hug and like felt all bad. And then cops came and yeah, basically that's you talking about your first car. That was my first car rear ended her. And you had all your little cronies in the car. Yeah.

yeah and the teacher was just like so was she mad after or was she no she felt bad felt bad but then her husband came and that dude was bald and he was pissed but i mean bald head yeah it wasn't like it was fine but yeah i felt bad about it so i mean not many people can say they rear-ender their second grade teacher you know yeah and i i did it two cars

Rick. Damn, dude. And then you actually have a bit of a track record because you totaled your WRX too, which was your second car. Yeah, that hit deer. I would say that was partially my fault. The other one was fully my fault. The WRX was irreplaceable, though. It couldn't be fixed. It was toast. It was toast, yeah. It was toast. I hit two deer at once. What?

And they were also toast. Yeah, deer were done. Those things got annihilated. Yeah. I remember that, dude. You called and you were like, dude, I just hit two deer. My car is toast. It was like a foggy night. It was worst case Ontario. Yeah, it was foggy. That was partially why. And I was just an idiot. I was going too fast. I don't know why. Yeah, you come over the top of the hill. But I remember like we didn't.

have anything we had to like i had to call my dad be like dad can we borrow your trailer and then we had to call we called somebody else like can you borrow your truck and then we're like trying to figure out how we're gonna get it up on the trailer we don't have a skid we don't have nothing up yeah yeah and we were still trying to like save it we didn't want to like yeah all right just drag it up yeah so we were like being careful and trying to like push it up and it was this whole the whole thing that car was cool but honestly like i wasn't like in love with it

I mean, I was in love with it at the time, but looking back, I'm not like, man, I wish I still had that car. I would say that was your first love for sure, dude. You loved that car. That Subaru WRX. I did. Yeah, I don't think you'd still have it anymore, but I think it would have a better future. If it didn't get annihilated. I mean, we've said it a lot early on in the channel. Ken's hit a handful of deer. Now CJ's had some pretty bad luck with deer. He just got his Evo.

Smoked on the side of both doors. Yeah, that's why everyone was asking what happened to the side of the Evo. We haven't explained. If you follow me on Instagram, you'd know. That's true. But basically, I was just going home and a deer body checked the side of the Evo and then just kept going. I was driving, and he jumped in the side. Yeah, directly into the side of your car. Yeah, but I got it fixed now, so it's all good. Yeah, it looks good. It's good to have it back. It looked in rough shape after you ripped your front lip off. I know everybody in the Midwest says this, but...

Like, we don't... Ken and myself and CJ do not drive home without seeing a deer. And it's, like, it's just scary because, like, I mean, driving any of our cars, I guess, you know, like, the Evo is pretty, like, one-of-a-kind. Like, my Subie, if I, like...

mangle that up with some, a couple deer. It's pretty much irreplaceable. Yeah. I, there's no going back or like the Bronco. I remember I actually almost hit a deer like the night I drove at home. It wouldn't be, but it'd be like, damn dude, there's like,

35 miles on this thing and I almost smoked some deer. But I mean, what do you do? Everybody goes through that, I guess. Am I a bad friend if I didn't notice you got your car fixed? How long ago did you get fixed? I don't know, like a week ago. I really don't care. I haven't even noticed, bro. So speaking of driving, we're going on a big RV trip. We were talking about it, I don't know, a couple podcasts ago. And

Now it's all planned out. We always do what we say we're going to do, and now we're going on an RV trip. We really got it dialed in. We're going all the way from here down to California. We're going to end up in San Diego. Yeah, it's a good journey. We got hooked up with an RV by GoGo Rental. Basically, we're loading up all the boys plus Evan, and we're doing this week-and-a-half, two-week-long trip.

Where exactly are we going? So we can kind of lay out the roadmap. And then if anybody watching is like, hey, they'll be here at this time. This is something fun happening. So we go right from Minnesota to Salt Lake and we get to Salt Lake City the 15th. And then we're gonna spend a couple days there.

Filming on the Salt Flats. Hopefully get to see Godfrey's. Mm-hmm. And you're going to run a podcast with Greg. Yep. Which is going to be really sweet. Yeah, that'll be a great interview. He's done so much cool stuff. Then we're going down towards Vegas. But first we're going to stop at the Palmer Compound, right? Yep. In St. George, right? Yep. St. George, Utah. So that's going to be sweet. That's going to be Wednesday. Then we're going down to Vegas and we're hoping Mark and Jason can meet up with us there, but flights are crazy. So we'll see. Absolutely.

Something tells me they'll come through. Yeah, I think they will too. So we're going to do Vegas Thursday and Friday. Do actually like some cool stuff in Vegas. I think we were talking about this time. Drive some cars and get like some cool experiences. Then we were going to go down to Lake Havasu.

which it's like a big lake down there and hopefully find like a boat. Mike, I want to do some cliff jumping. Yeah, hopefully they have some cool cliffs there. And what day is that? That's Saturday the 19th. So get there on Saturday morning? Yeah. Which I feel like for a lake day, that's a perfect time to go to Lake Havasu. How far is Havasu from Vegas? A couple hours, four hours. That's bad, yeah. So we got to...

Well, we have to decide what the frick we're going to do, how hard we're going to go on Friday. Okay. And then, yeah, so how is through Saturday? Then we're going to go down to Slab City, the place with no laws. The city with no laws. Oh, yeah, yeah. And we're going to finally be able to ride some pit bikes. So we're riding pit bikes in Slab City? That'd be pretty fun, actually. Yeah, that'd be sick.

Cool. And then Glamis, hopefully meet up with like Buttery or somebody who's down there and willing to. Either way, we'll be there. Yeah, we'll be there.

Monday in Glamis. Tuesday, we'll finally make it to Cali, and then you boys will sit and edit for a couple days. Glamis is in Cali, though, isn't it? Yes. Or is it in Slab City? So by Cali, we're going to San Diego. Yeah, Glamis is like 45. San Diego. So from Glamis back to San Diego. Yep. And then we'll send Ben. Ben's got a bachelor party in the next weekend, so we'll send him to Montana. We're going to send CJ home.

Ryan, myself, and Ken, and Evan are going to be going back up to Jackson Hole for the hill climbs. I don't think Ken is. Ken bailed now because we're riding snowmobiles. We're hopefully going to go ride snowmobiles with Brett Turcotte, and he's going to do some backflips. Yep, hopefully. You guys are going to have to build some booters. Yeah, I'd love to be on shovel duty, to be honest. I'm prepped for that. So, yeah, we're pulling in. Our RV is 32 feet. Our trailer is 28 feet. We're going to be like...

We're going to be rolling, dude. It's going to be insane. It's cool. I'm glad we got to preface what we were doing beforehand, obviously, so you guys watching can hopefully connect with us or maybe at least kind of follow the journey. But, yeah, you'll be able to hear what we're doing and then hopefully see the videos roll out in the next...

Yeah. So we might miss one Thursday upload one week just because I mean, we're going to be stacking content and like on the road, which is, you know, making more videos. So we couldn't have picked a better time to do it. Now the gas prices just doubled. Yeah.

I'm really trying not to get fuckered about it. I'm really just trying to enjoy the trip and not think about the gas price because it is what it is. These gas prices are through the roof. But it's a freaking doozy. I'm actually thinking this is almost in a bad way. There's no cool part about this, but when us driving the RV with that trailer, it's an F450. What is it going to get?

Miles to the gallon? I hope we'll get better than that. That's about what I figured. Okay. I'm hoping we'll get like eight. Okay. And then eight would be great. I just, I guess I'm thinking, yeah, like if it's some astronomically low number, like...

The bill we run up for fuel is just going to be damn impressive. Yeah, dude. We've got to be the only people going on an RV trip at this time right now. You know? Who the hell would think of doing this? But on the bright side, we got the RV loaned to us for free. So, you know, we're saving a lot of money on there. I guess in exchange for a promo, but...

And the fact that we don't have to get hotel rooms, too. That's true. Saving us some money there. Yeah. No, absolutely. But speaking of gas prices, that actually rolls into today's podcast sponsor, Airsoft.

versus game we'd like to thank them for sponsoring today's podcast versus game is an opportunity for you to make money from your knowledge it's the app everyone is talking about because it lets you win money for being right imagine a social media feed where every single video is a question with just two possible answers you as a player can play these questions for free or you can play with real money one dollar up to a hundred dollars per question against other people that versus games finds

for you and matches against you. I'm a player as we all are, but we are actually going to be coming up with fun questions every week. So this is where this whole gas pricing ties in. So this week's question that we're going to have on our versus, you guys can find it at C boys TV and you can vote on, you can play for free or you can,

bet some money against it. This week's question is going to be, do you think the national average price of regular 87 gas will rise above $4 and 50 cents by Friday of next week? The current price is $4 and 17 cents according to gas prices. Dot a.com. So,

I mean, if it's going to keep... Basically, you can go vote if you think it's going to keep rising or if it's going to stay the same or go down. And you can put some money up on it or you can just play for free. But, yeah.

And you can actually, you guys think when I was on it, you can like bet against people. So I'll be on that. And then I'll like bet if we're opposite of whatever people are. Cause I think it's going to be under just cause I'm trying to speak. I hope, I hope it stays under, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it keeps rising. I think it's going above. You think it's going above $4.50. Yeah.

All right, well, go cast your vote on the Versus Game app and follow us. The Versus Game, one word, so no space. We'll be talking about the results of this question in the next episode here, as well as introducing a new question. I'm also going to be replying to comments, so after you vote, let us know your reasoning. We'd love to hear it. But, yeah, I'm kind of – it's going to be cool. I'm excited.

to see how this versus thing goes. I think it's going to be fun. Yeah, I think it will be. I like how you can do it with, like, you don't have to enter money. Like, you can still join in and just play it, and it's fun. It's got, like, a TikTok vibe to it. If you're confident. If you're pretty confident on it. Yeah. Throw a couple bucks at it. I've won, like, the four games because when they...

Reached out to us. I was like, well, I better play it. I'm up, I guess, right in four of them. Way to go, Ryan. You know what, Ryan? You should start betting the farm, dude. Honestly. I knew we'd make a gambler out of you. Ever since leaving the airport in Vegas now, dude, I like gambling. So I'm excited to go back. Good for you, dude. This whole gas prices thing is ridiculous, though. I even saw Elon, somebody who is...

Building their whole career. And obviously this is going against everything he stands for with Tesla saying that we need to figure out a way to start producing, uh, like fossil fuels and like oils or whatever, like fast, uh,

because we obviously can't be relying on Russia. And, you know, without Russia's exports, that's why the prices are so high right now. I actually saw a thing on TikTok today, so take that for what you will. But it was a guy explaining that there actually, up until today, you had mentioned, there hadn't been real sanctions, but every company was like squandering

Screw Russia. We're not buying from them. Everyone's doing it. So there was phantom sanctions. Like, literally, the effects of the sanctions shouldn't even change anything because people already weren't buying it. Yeah. So, like, people had already canceled Russia before they were even officially canceled, which is kind of interesting. I mean, I agree. I'd be like, oh, I'm not buying. And you see more and more of it. Like, McDonald's, they shut down every McDonald's in Russia. People aren't EA Sports.

They are no longer having any Russian teams. So for FIFA or for NHL. No kidding. Yep. Like all these different businesses and companies are just cutting off Russia now because they don't stand for what is going on there. It's really interesting. It's great, dude. I think that's a great way to counteract what's going on and...

And eventually the civilians, which it seems like most of them aren't for it, are going to start speaking up even louder and they're going to get mad. And then that's when it creates a problem. And hopefully Putin will stop or be taken out. It's crazy that one man could have that much power. It is. It's wrong. It's not how stuff should be set up.

Dude, speaking of one man having too much power, Aaron Rodgers today signed a contract. I saw that. $200 million for four years. That is a lot of money. The highest paid NFL contract ever. Why Aaron Rodgers, though? He's the best, dude. He's a beast. Yeah, he's great, but that's a lot of money. $200 million. $200 million.

200 million? He's a franchise QB. He keeps people... Yeah. He makes them win. He talked so poorly about staying with the Packers, too. Yeah. Last year, he said, you're more likely to see me at a family reunion than wearing a Packers jersey next year. Damn. Wow, and he doesn't even like his family. Well, that's kind of the...

I didn't know what he meant. He's always pissed off, isn't he? By that point. Interesting. I think he seems like he is. No, he's just like... I think it's a known thing that he's just not ever... He's kind of an ass. Yeah, he's just kind of like a crab. Damn, so that guy's all pissed off and made $200 million. I just don't get it. It's insane. Like $200 million is so...

That's the highest paid four-year contract. Wasn't Patrick Mahomes paid $500 million? It could have been for longer. Way more years.

And then they have some guaranteed amount, so he's guaranteed $153 million. Either way, I actually didn't know that he didn't like his kids, but you could legitimately... He doesn't like his kids. Sorry, sorry. I actually didn't know he was just family. I don't like my kids. I'm in the backyard. He sucked at football. Better than Tom Brady. I don't like him. Better than Brady kissing him and stuff. I don't know. It gets a little weird, too, on the lip.

That is, they're both weird. They're going to find a nice happy meeting. I don't think Aaron Rodgers has any kids, to be honest. But think about how much you could set up your whole family. Like, a $50 million bag? That's a lot of money. Unless he's blowing it. Yeah. It would be interesting to see the finances of somebody making that much money as an athlete. Well, that's the thing. He's been making money for a long time. Our accountant's setting us up like football players. Can you put us on the Aaron Rodgers plan? Yeah.

Right. You're not even close. Um, speaking of that. So our account wanted us to get that financial advisor and he like recommended, I don't know why I just didn't even question it. I mean, I just, okay. And I thought all you guys already had done this. I, for, I thought for some reason, all you guys already set it up. So I was like, okay. So I call this guy and set it up. Yeah. What up? Uh, to go and have this financial advisor meeting with them. I had it set up for this Monday. And of course we, uh,

We're doing the 24-hour igloo challenge up until halfway through Sunday. And we woke up on Sunday, and I hadn't been drinking or anything. And we have this keg. So I felt like I better start trying to finish this keg. And I was pretty happy because I made it through the night. I was like, okay, we're coasting now, so I'm going to drink some beers. Ended up drinking a lot of them. And then we go out to eat. And basically, I just ended up getting way too drunk. I'm not going to lie. And I don't like doing this. I don't recommend anyone else does it. But I just...

blacked out freaking wake up the next morning in my bed i was like yeah it was monday i had monday off because we agreed we had monday off after this when did you guys agree that well actually cj said it and i was like yeah no that seems fair and i mean we kind of we did basically i mean i came i was still there early and i just worked on my sled but basically a personal so anyways wake up monday

totally forgot I had this meeting. I'm sitting there and I woke up like eight, whatever. I'm laying there in bed and I get a call. I'm like, what's this? And normally don't answer. But for some reason I answered cause I was like, I don't know. So,

So I answer it, and he's like, hey, are you coming in for your meeting? I'm like, oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry. I totally forgot about it. He goes, well, don't worry about it. How soon can you be here? I'm like, like 30 minutes. So I had to steal Mike's car, and I rush in there, and I was so freaking hungover. Dude, I probably made the worst impression on these guys. They were, like, in suit and ties. I was literally wearing this sweatshirt, and I was just like –

I was so out of it, and I felt so dumb. I was feeling so dumb. I was embarrassed. I was so embarrassed. I felt kind of sick to my stomach the whole day after it. Just like, God damn it. Why did I do that? I should have just not gone, whatever. I think they were just even confused, just like,

I mean, I'm trying to... They were, like, asking me all these difficult questions. And I was so confused because I thought I already met with all you guys. I'm like, why are they fucking asking me this? Like, haven't you heard this time and time again? So, I end up leaving. And then I find out you guys haven't done it yet. And you might not even do it. And I was like, yeah, I don't... Honestly, I don't think I want to do that. And that's my point that I'm getting at here. They were, like, talking about all these, like, traditional investments and, like, Roth IRAs and all that. They all sound great. But honestly...

I feel like I could just make more money with that money than I could just putting it in there. I don't know. I feel like just straight up Bitcoin, Ethereum, and real estate is just rather than storing it all the way in there and not being able to touch it until I'm like 50, 55. Well, no, you can still... You can still liquidate it? Yeah, but there's fees. No, you don't liquidate it. It's basically like if you invest $6,000 into a Roth...

Then that $6,000, you just can't touch until you're 50, but you can still treat it like any other investment. What do you mean? So I can't get the money out? You can't spend it on like booze or stuff. Well, what if I want to, what if something happens? I'm like, I need my, however many money I put in. Well, then you pay a fee. But like, if you want to. You know what, what worries me about it is one, you're investing with the government, right? Yeah.

No, it's the stock market. It's basically like you can invest so much money. You can invest $6,000 a year into a Roth and

and you pay tax on it today, but over the next however many years, you can make that $6,000 turn into a million dollars, and you won't pay tax on that. When you pull it out, that's the benefit of it. That's what they sell you on is the compound interest of it. If you were to put in $400,000, by the time you pull it out in 35 years, it's going to be worth $3 million or something like that. You don't pay tax on it. I do not fully understand...

I don't know. The difference between a Roth and a traditional. The guys seem nice. I guess I'm not fully set on whether I'm going to do it or not. I guess I still have like Chris. I don't know if I need to get somebody to handle it because then I've got to pay them. I've got to pay a fee. I was like, fuck that, dude. I do pretty decent. Just invest. The thing is you're diversifying. Obviously, you can make more money in real estate, but say the real estate market had a couple of tough years. You're still making money through this. There's ways you can invest.

tax deferred now so you don't have to pay taxes later. There's ways you pay taxes later instead of now to save you money now. So there's kind of like ways. It's definitely not like your end all be all. Just like probably you wouldn't put all of your money into Bitcoin. You buy some Ethereum, you buy some of this. But it's just like smart to kind of like diversify yourself out. There's some people. Yeah, and I think I could do that myself was kind of what I ended up walking away thinking to myself. And I don't know, maybe I will. But I just kind of was like,

why do I need these guys to do that? I could just get some Tesla stock, get some Google, get some Amazon. Those are like very safe. You know, John Deere, they're great. Do all these things myself. Yeah.

You could still do a Roth. You don't have to do it through them. Yeah, exactly my point. Right. That's how I ended up leaving though. I was like, even if I want to do one, why am I, why would I want to pay these guys to do it? I'm sure if you were going to start doing more of a managed portfolio, it would make more sense to like have someone actually actively managing it. You know, like someone who's investing and moving your money around and who's studying it all day. But I agree with you're like, Oh, it's just going to put it in this fund like it and it just chills.

I agree with that but if you were going to like more actively trade it outside of like the companies that you knew I feel like they're just like smarter in it probably yes playing devil's advocate in this I just think there's like things that they know but also to a point you're like no I know what I want to invest in I feel like it's just so safe and small that like you wouldn't like end up getting that much yeah also and like everybody I've ever made money is literally by like lucrative like

doing YouTube is like drug dealing. You get a little bit of money, you put it into the video. Hopefully it kicks out more money. You take that money, you flip it right back into it, make another one. It makes more money. And like, that's kind of how I feel like I just do everything like with, I don't know, fucking you. Hopefully eventually I do that with real estate, you know, and just like other things. Yup. What about inflation?

Of money. Your $3 million that you get at the end of it when you're 55 years old or 65 years old or whatever the fucking age is. $3 million is not going to be worth that, like $3 million as it is today, right now, right? So how do they pitch that on, like...

Oh, you're going to get all this compound interest, right? But it's not going to be worth as much. Whereas like, what if you were to put it into real estate where, yeah, you might not get the same like compound interest effect, but you're also buying an asset that is appreciating in value, like a lot more than the value of the dollar. There's truth in that. And then, but think with inflation, stocks go up. Mm-hmm.

You know? So, I mean, it's still in the stock market. But is it? I don't think it's this. Yeah, I think real estate is much more like just solid. And again, you could be in a lull, but in a long, long-term thing, you just never lose out on it. When is land not going to be worth something though? Don't take my word, but I think you can set it up so your retirement account does have property.

Yeah, I don't know. So I'm kind of torn on it, but that was something that happened to me literally yesterday. Roth IRAs grow... So embarrassing. Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to cut you off. You can go. Roth IRAs typically grow between 7% and 10% in a year. Oh, wow. That's what I mean. It's considerable growth. And you pay $6,000 worth of taxes, but then when you pull it out, say after, if you put in... You'd put in $60,000

or 83 000 if you did it until you're 50 yeah i don't feel like you have so much uh so much like knowledge at your fingertips like graham stephanie's a youtuber he's great and like he tells you a lot you can learn so much you might as well just learn how to manage your money yourself it's kind of how i walked away from it like i'm gonna have to pay these guys to manage there's a lot of fees yeah that's the thing you're like why not just learn how to do it yourself you'd be better off

And the yearly fees, look up what the average yearly fee is and what that equates to over 35 years. Are you able to set up a Roth IRA completely by yourself? Yeah. Okay, interesting. You might pay $25 to $50 a year.

This is what Investopedia says. Yeah, it's not much. Isn't it usually that 6% or something? 3%? IRAs are legally allowed to change annual maintenance fees. Many are $30 to $50. Others are as low as $20, or others are high as $200. I don't know. But it's kind of like the...

Or when you talk about like, why wouldn't you just want to do it yourself? It's like, you're going to get your house painted. Why wouldn't you just learn how to paint? You got to paint your house a couple of times. Why don't you learn how to paint? Well, you got to fix your deck. Why don't you learn how to fix your deck? Like there's so many things in life that have to be done that sometimes it's not worth your mental strain to be like, okay, today or this year,

You know, like if that guy would have seen oil coming up and he would already had your money in and then would already pulled it back out now. Cause he's already doing that. Yeah. Cause that's what he's doing every day. He would have like been like, all right, oil's going up and you dumped a bunch of money in, it would have rose up and then he would start plateauing. Probably. You'd be like, ah, I think I'm going to get that out. I didn't realize it was that low. Like again, for that fee, let's say $50. Like, I mean,

To avoid having to sit down and kind of even lightly study the stock market and see where I want it. I think it's a lot more. But that's just for us. They're not doing that shit for 50 bucks. No, for us. But if you're doing like a managed account where you're putting in, you drop 10K and then they manage your 10K, I'm sure it's more. Now I'm changing my stance on it. I'm kicking myself. Well, there is. Embarrassing myself in there.

No, there's benefits to both, I think. But I think it's those guys... Some people will stick to their guns and argue both sides. Yeah. It's just personal. It's those guys that are like... I mean, I have a handful of dollar bills in a Roth, not much, but it's like...

I got a handful of dollar bills on the block. Not much, though. Well, I'm just saying, it's not enough to retire on by any means. You're like 25. You only put six grand into the year. I'm saying even the amount of money that I put in

is not enough to retire on even at 60. Okay. And I don't know how much it's going to go up, but it's just not. When did you put money in? I liked a year ago. But anyway, this guy. Who told you to do that? My mom. She works at a bank. How much did you put in? 5K. Dude.

Enough money talk. Remember when we convinced Greta that Micah didn't believe in banks because he had cash? That was a fantastic troll. Enough money talk. That was a fantastic troll. We convinced my girlfriend that Micah just didn't believe in the banking system. He didn't trust it for some reason. He got screwed over at a young age, so he keeps all of his money underneath his bed. And she so nicely goes, doesn't his mom work at a bank?

And we pipe up and we go, yeah, no, that's why. You just see your parents doing something wrong and you just really stick to it.

it was because i mean the uh little bit of context like i was bartending so i had like legit stacks of cash and i would wait for i just liked having cash it felt like a rapper you know or drug dealer or something no and then 10 g's mike's like uh yeah so 108 bucks right here yeah all ones so greta like sees the money sitting next to my bed and was like what's up with all that cash that micah has ben sees a great opportunity for a good

decent troll I guess I thought it was fucking stupid like all my trolls I know I don't think all your trolls are stupid but I'm like he goes hey don't don't don't tell like don't let Greta know that you just tell Greta you don't believe in banks I'm like

Then I have to act like a fucking dummy. I think that one went for a while, too. She thought that for six months or so? No. It was a while. No, it was like a month. Okay. But I think after a while, she asked me, like came up to me, and she's like, so your mom works at a bank and just doesn't, you just don't have cards then or anything? And I'm like, yeah. Or maybe she caught me paying with a card. I don't know.

Ben's got a whole bunch of good trolls. I've actually had to lighten up on them though. It got to a point where she started to trust nothing. I was like, this isn't going to work for our relationship. Then it gets to the point where I'm like, why would I lie about that? That's not even funny. She's like, none of them are funny. I'm like, it's funny for me. You just don't understand.

You just don't get good humor. So I just got suckered in on an ad, you know, YouTube ad. I don't even remember the actual name of the brand, but it's like the product's called Zupu, but that's not the name of the brand. But it's like I don't eat super well. You know, I eat like pizza and chicken nuggets and fries. Like I don't eat super well. I eat out. And they say when you eat unhealthier, there's more of it. But like there's like anywhere from –

five to 20 pounds of like waste in your stomach and intestines that kind of doesn't leave. It just chills. They just say that. I mean, I don't know how true that is, but they say they have that sitting in there, you know, can, uh, it, a lot of that contributes to like depression or anxiety or, or gut is with your brain. Yeah. And so, yeah, that was pretty intrigued by that. And anyway, um,

Get these capsules. And it's not like Exlax because that's just made to just clear you out. But it makes you shit. But you take them two before bed every night with a glass of water. Anyway, it makes you shit. Dude, I love that feeling. The next morning? Yeah, yeah. Like I would say the next morning. And do you wake up and you're like, oh. Almost. I'd say once I get here. Sometimes you don't even wake up. It just happens. Yeah.

I'm still trying to dial that in. That'd be great. Yeah, I've only been taking it for like three days or three nights now. So it's like, I think once you get on a schedule, it really starts working out. But they, I mean, normally my shits are...

in and out, clean, whatever. But dude, it's incredible. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. Yeah, I do too. And it's like, I mean, not to get gross with it. Like it smells worse. It's like, it's just, well, that's not the part I love. Yeah, no, I don't love that. But yeah, I loved like getting it all out and you can just tell, like, I mean, it's,

I don't know. So I don't know if I'll mentally feel better after this. And, like, they say you got to continue to use it. But interesting, like, if it can just clear out some of that, like, bad food that you've just been chilling in your stomach. I don't know if it's chilling in your stomach. Yeah, but it's not moving as fast because it's – I don't know. I just love when you feel like you cleaned out your whole system. Like, you're going to eat a good old big burrito and just really –

cleans you out. You know who has a terrible eating habit is Ryan. Dude, you got a pretty bad diet. I'm not calling you out. I'm not calling you out. That was a straight call out. I actually had it in my notes because just the other week I

I walk out and I go and hop in the hot tub. I spend 20 minutes in the hot tub. Ryan was sitting down with some Oreos. He's like, yeah, yeah. I went around to the store to grab some Oreos. He was editing the podcast. I grabbed other things. So, yeah, I'm Mountain Dew. So then he's sitting there and he's eating these Oreos. And I'm like, okay. And he goes, hey, what's up? And I hop in the hot tub. Come out 20 minutes later. I'm not kidding you. Ryan cleared a row and a half of Oreos. Family size, dude. Woo.

Like, there was only half the container left. He cleared them in 20 minutes. And I slugged down a mound of... And, like, dude, you eat, like, garbage. I'm not saying it's a bad thing because you are in great shape and whatever. But even your dad. Your dad drinks, like, three Cokes a day. Like, it's amazing. Maybe more. I don't know how you guys feel good. How do you start your day out every single day with a caramel roll? I...

Went on a pretty good stint, but it was mainly not having anything to eat. And it was easy. I could go to the C-Store and I could grab something. And I like sweet things. And so the caramel was sweet. It was either like that or like a waffle. You know, Ryan, you honestly are in great shape for eating like garbage. Now that I think about it, yeah. And you drink beers every night. Yeah, but you drink. I don't remember the last time I saw you drink a water bottle.

He just drank the water. But I see, I think for you, it's your sweet tooth. I think other than that, you know, you and Alondra eat together. You eat Sour Patch Kids. And when we go out to eat, you don't get anything like wildly unhealthy, but it's when your sweet tooth kicks in. Every road trip, it doesn't matter. Pounds of candy, dude. 45 minutes, he'll stop at the gas station and go in and get candy. What's your go-to? The sweet straws? Sour straws? Sour Punch straws or Trolley. They're delicious. Terrible for you.

That or trolley eggs. I'm on these new gushers. They have like big gusher packs. They're so good, dude. Ryan, and now tell the camera how many cavities you came back with after the dentist last time. Three. I brush my freaking teeth, dude. I take care of my shit. You can't stop it. That's bad, but not really bad. I had three over here last year, too. That's pretty damn bad, though, dude.

I mean, not every year, but the last two. No. Did you get cavities when you were young? No, I don't think so. Probably because my mom monitored me then. I've only had one cavity. That's on my belt. Damn impressive, dude. That's really good. I brush the shit out of them. You know what you do have going for you, though, is your girlfriend cooks you dinner. She does. We cook breakfast together and...

dinner a lot. And that's what I mean. Which has changed my diet a lot. Yeah. And it saves you a lot of money probably. Which is nice. Dude, that's the thing. Eating out, they put so much salt. Salt. That's the salt, dude. Yeah. And I think that really is...

Something that doesn't taste amazing. And most of the stuff around here is fried. And I mean, McDonald's is a horrible example since they're like the definition of like salt. But it's like they put that in there so you're more addicted to it. And I'm like, listen, I'll eat it. Just don't make it taste like I'm literally eating salt. Dude, I feel like I'm getting to the age where I'm like,

I got to really be working on my, I can't just eat whatever I want and as much as I want now anymore. I need to just keep, I got to work out, run, and I don't do it that much because we're normally pretty busy, but I try my hardest. But I'm also now getting to the point where I'm trying to watch what I'm eating.

When we were in that igloo, we had so much junk food. So much. Uncrustables, dude. Uncrustables. Mom's brought brownies over. Pop tarts, beer. CJ ate an Uncrustable, which is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that they manufacture to not have the crust on. That's what it is. It's an Uncrustable. There's no crust. CJ didn't eat the edge.

Yeah, you can't even call it a crust. I can't even. I don't even know what to call it. It's just the edge. It's where the two pieces come together. There's no crust. I don't think there is. CJ wouldn't eat that. I'll explain. There's no explaining. It just didn't. You're like, it didn't have peanut butter or jelly. That's my explanation. So you just take a little bit bigger of a bite. No. There was too much bread there. You know, there's just no point. I already ate five of them at that point. Valid point. I'm not going to eat this bread. There's not even jelly or peanut butter on there. It's just like bread.

We walk out of the igloo and there's just the crust of an Uncrustable on the ground. I just hugged it. Get this thing out of here. I knew immediately who it was too. That just reminds me of like if you were like a small child and of course you don't like crust because no kids really like crust and you give them an Uncrustable and the kid's still like, it's not good enough. I need to get it.

I need less crust. The other thing we talked about, and this came up when we were sitting in the igloo. We didn't have our phones, so we talked about a lot of stuff, right? Except for you, Ben. You had yours. Okay, Ken. So you did have your phone, though. I did, yeah. I wasn't on it, though. Anyway. At least when we were watching. Jesus. All right. Okay. That's not what Alex said when she walked in the igloo in the morning. Not only did you have your phone, you were texting CJ's girlfriend? All right. Okay. This is...

Beside the fact... Had nothing to do with what I was going to say. Milk. Dude...

We just all laugh like that was the best joke in the world. Milk! Milk! No. It was just a long pause and then milk. When you went to school, they always said you need to drink a carton of milk. And there was all these campaigns that was just called milk. Got milk. Yeah, got milk. Tony Hawk was on it. Milk? Why are you saying it like that? Well, your body doesn't process dairy the older you get.

I think it's just becoming more known nowadays. So I'm curious, yeah, if they still are pushing the milk agenda that hard in school anymore. They probably have different options. Like, if you don't want to drink milk, you could probably get juice. I hate to say this because our buddy Trent is a good old dairy farmer. So, Trent, this is not a shot at your career.

I love the milk agenda. Milk agenda, yeah. I mean, and I'm all for them not pushing the milk agenda anymore. I really hope they don't get rid of milk, though.

Okay, so. Milk's not going anywhere. Dude, when I was in college for my one year and I was going to be a chiropractor, I was in biology and I was in like chemistry, all this stuff. And I remember learning that only one in three adults can drink milk because two out of the three, their body stops producing the enzyme that breaks down lactase in milk.

Yeah. And I think just in general, also just dairy isn't necessarily good for you. Don't quote me. I'm not super knowledgeable, but as far as I know, like milk really isn't supposed to be like consumed past being like young, like a baby. I know Ken gets it. He is not a happy camper. Yeah. I mean, look, I can't drink milk anymore either. Can you cut it out?

Completely? Yeah. Yeah, right here. Here's a, I just searched. 60% of adults can't drink milk. ABC News. This is in 2009. This is old. So if you're not drinking from the titty, probably shouldn't be drinking. But if you are, then you're probably fine. If you're still drinking from the titty, get off that shit. Is people listening to the podcast right now?

No, I was thinking like if you're weird and you're old. Okay, so here's another weird fact. So 90% of the adults in the United States can drink milk. 75% of the world's adults can't. Oh, so we're conditioned. Yeah. I think it's once you stop drinking milk, that's when your body stops like...

It just forgets how to produce that enzyme that breaks it down. But ultimately, I don't think it's good for you. Got milk? Nope. So, Ken, when did you realize that it's probably dairy that's causing your, how do we put this, shitting issues? Probably three months after it started. It was probably a year ago. A year ago? Yeah. Okay, and you're 27. You're still doing it. Yeah. You're 27, right? So you're 26. Doesn't that seem like late?

I guess when you put it in perspective of he's only 30% of how old he will be. He's really 12. How often did you used to drink milk?

Would you eat it with cereal or like just, just with a coffee. And now you just completely got that out and you don't have any issues anymore. No, I still have issues. Listen to this. Well, that's the interesting thing. Yeah. It's like, well, I finally, I was a problem and I narrowed it down to lactose intolerance. I felt so relieved.

But you must not feel relieved because I don't know if you did narrow it down. There's dairy in literally everything. Like, here's another thing. Milk and other dairy products are the top source of saturated fat in the American diet, contributing to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. Studies have also linked dairy to an increased risk of breast and ovarian and prostate cancers.

Dude, I think it's just becoming more and more known that you just really shouldn't drink milk. Damn, that's sad. I'm just curious if they're still doing it, if it's still pushed as hard in school.

Do you guys remember... This is a little bit off. Do you guys remember, I would have been in sixth grade, Obama became president, and his wife, Michelle, started pushing up this whole school lunch agenda and made our school lunches shit. Really bad. Got rid of all the junk food. I was so ticked off, dude. Like, they had these great cookies, and they had to get rid of them. It was...

And Michael would just steal them. Yeah, they never did that for us. They never got rid of... Our school lunches did not diminish much after that, but I remember there was... I was at a small enough school where that played no effect in it. Dude, our shit got raw.

But I remember hearing some from people in bigger schools, such as you, or maybe even bigger schools. They had options, and they had like, oh, yeah, we have a legit Pizza Hut option. Every day, they could get Pizza Hut pizza. It was like a food court. I love that. Yeah, it was very much similar to a food court. We didn't have that, so they just kept getting the same bunches. Yeah, they used to have pop and stuff at lunch. Yeah, we didn't have that. I mean, obviously, that's probably for the better, but as a young kid,

Little CJ, I had no, I was not partial to any president in the sixth grade, but all I knew was Obama was responsible for my school lunch. I was ticked. Sounds like a sixth grade episode. Yeah, I was ticked. Just go on a rant and like get. Dude,

Dude, I oftentimes think of CJ as Eric Cartman. As a South Park guy. I do too, dude. Not in every way, but in some ways. Like when Cartman goes off on something and then rallies the whole crew around this random thing. And then it just happens. It's so funny to think of you as Cartman. That is funny. Dude, I fucking love South Park. I grew up on that shit. There used to be some...

Seriously questionable school lunches, though. When I think of bad food for school lunch, I don't know if you guys had these, but there was like... I don't even think I would consider it pizza. It was more like...

Bread with cheese? No, it was like cardboard with pepperonis on it. Some people liked it. I loved school lunch. I remember it being cold. I just didn't like that they got rid of all the junk food. You guys didn't have butlers bringing yours out? I went to a fucking private school. You guys didn't get steak? They didn't come out in the little trays?

Ryan goes, I'll take a filet today. Did Jarvis not cut it for you? Medium rare. Did they peel your grapes too? Peeled your grapes. Dude, I want to go to a school and eat like a school lunch. I'm pretty sure you can. Maybe you have to know a student there and be like a guest. But I want to like go there and like just try. Can you guest pass me in for your lunch? Dude, I'll buy for both of us. It'll be like three bucks, but...

Dude, I just kind of want to see if it was as good still as I remember it because I literally thought it was so good. I don't know why. Best part of the day. I feel like it was just a lit part of your day. Yeah. No, the food was great. I loved it. I would eat like two servings at least of the main course.

Did they make you pay for second round if you went? Well, yeah. You had to pay both times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, yeah. Okay. Not if you're money. Not if you're money. He just stole it. He just walked out the other back door. Yeah, dude. Sometimes it was real, real good. Most of the time it was good. And then other times, I remember they call them Italian dunkers and it's literally just a foot.

Just a foot long hot dog. I like those. Really good too. Those are the fucking best. Really good, but sometimes they can be prepared really bad. Hot dog bun with some cheese on it. Yeah. Just melted cheese. Put it in a toast. Oh, so good. It's kind of weird that that was a meal. Yeah, it's probably awful for you, but so good, dude. Mike, did the hot dogs get you hooked back then? Is that why you love hot dogs so much? They would pour a little extra of the hot dog water on your plate and you could dunk it? No. My mom, it's brought. I don't even like hot dogs that much. You love hot dogs, Mike. No. No.

I like hot dogs. I love brats. You know what I want to do? I want to go to a school. Straight up, I want someone to guest pass this in, but I feel like it would be...

I don't want to sound conceited, but I feel like it would almost be awkward if I was sitting at a school lunch. Probably a handful of kids like, there's some YouTuber here, and then they'd end up just being a scene. Oh, get a mustache! They'd be like, why is this 25-year-old man sitting in the corner? And I'm just picturing a black, fuzzy, fake mustache. Just like this.

What's your name? Start Bombardier. I just wanted to try the school lunch, and it is still as good as it was before. Where do you guys want to go to lunch today? We got Jimmy John's, T-Bell, or Lake Park Elementary. Let's hit the elementary. I haven't been there in a while. I honestly want to do that. The kids don't say anything when I budge in line. Yeah, that was the best, honestly.

But anyways, I think we're probably done with this one. Thank you guys for watching. We got the RV trip. RV trip. We're going to try and hit some podcasts when we are on the road there.
