Welcome back. We got a big week this week, heydays. We got to film a video tomorrow. We're filming a podcast tonight. It's currently Tuesday. It's not a normal Friday podcast time. No, no. We were... What happened? You were gone on Friday or who was gone? I was gone. Ben was gone. Ben was gone on vacation. Yeah, both you guys...
Going on vacation around here. Anyways, we got a pretty good amount of stuff to talk about. Where should we start? I kind of want to just jump right into it. That post? Yeah. Ken, get in here. Sit down here. I got some questions to ask here. All right, I'm going to calm down. Yeah, I think this is a question for Ken and Ryan. Ken, you sit down next to Ryan here. Oh. I've been refraining from asking either of you.
about this since I got home, and I'm just so curious and confused, as well as probably a lot of people watching right now. Ryan, what was that Instagram post about the Simpsons thing of like...
basically bullying and you said your little shout out to Ken about him having like the biggest heart and the funniest guy you know hold on let me just explain the picture here we're gonna put it up for the people watching and then I will read it for the people who are not hold on hold on hold on Ken alright so it's a picture
And there's multiple slides to it. Anyways, it's Homer. He goes, how dare you talk about Ned Flanders like that? He's a wonderful, kind, caring man. There have been times when I lost patience with him, even lashed out at him. But this man has turned every cheek on his body. If everyone here were like Ned Flanders, there'd be no need for heaven. We'd already be there. And that's it. And then the caption reads, this is how I feel when people talk bad about my best friend, Ken Matthews. He's the funniest guy I know with a heart of gold.
I agree. First off, I want to start by saying, Ryan, it was an extremely nice post, and I wasn't like, what the fuck is this? I was just confused as to, one, where it came from.
And then, two, I was very curious to what Ken was going to say about it. I haven't heard anything. Did you even like it? No, Ken didn't like it or comment on it, which made me even more confused. I'm pretty sure he liked it. No, you didn't. You completely ignored it. You completely ignored it. So I have so many questions for both of you. What an awkward situation for both of you. Ken, nothing. Nothing.
Did you just see that and go, ooh, yep, I better come back to that and just double tap that? I'm pretty sure I got the notification when I was in my car and I swiped over it. It was like, oh, I'll read this later. And then I never came back. I feel like you never read it. That was Ken's first reaction to hearing that Ryan posted that. A whole ass Instagram about you. Wow.
And it was like a nice thing backing you up. You just left it. So what spurred you to post that? Okay, well, sometimes people say mean things about Ken in the comments that you don't add to a video or you're negative or something like that. And it always ticks me off because...
I feel like I can make fun of any of you guys because you are my best friend. But if someone else starts talking shit, I'm going to be like, you don't know them. You don't have the right to make fun of this person because you have no idea what they are. But we get to make fun of you because you're our best friend. And you get to make fun of us. But sometimes I see comments and I'm like, why do people say that about Ken? Because it's wrong. It's wrong. Because it's wrong. And then...
I also like posting memes to my Instagram story because I think it's funny. And then I saw that one, but it had a bunch of slides. And I was like, oh, this is kind of exactly how me and Ken's relationship is. Because, like, Ken and I will butt heads on things. And I will lash out at Ken. Yeah. But I still love him all the same. Sometimes you might be a little psycho. A little psycho. Your favorite word. Instead of Ken, say it. Thanks, Ryan. Thanks, man. Thanks for sticking up to me. Making a hard post on your Instagram. He goes, well, you can be psycho. Yeah.
I don't know. Maybe I should delete it. No, no, no, no, no. That's not the point. I was just curious to... That's kind of what I figured. That's where it stemmed from. But I'm more along the lines curious as to why Ken didn't like it, comment it, or even mention it. Or, yeah, no acknowledgement in any way. Okay, I looked at it, and I forgot about it, and then I never came back to it. Okay. Ken, I feel like this is similar to your birthday a few years ago.
Every year. Not a few years ago. Every year. People call him, try wishing him a happy birthday. He doesn't respond. Doesn't acknowledge it. You know, like in a group chat when everyone texts, like, happy birthday, Ken. Happy birthday. You know, maybe even a personal text. I think I might even hit you with a personal text on your birthday.
Red. No response? Nothing. Dude, our girlfriends, our girlfriends, yeah, everybody. I think the girlfriends are more so. Why do you do that? I didn't text Greta back because I forgot about it. Bro, Ken, you're doing a lot of forgetting around here, man. For a guy who scrolls on his phone seven hours a day. CJ, you can't talk about that. Ken, he's
getting hot ken's getting hot or forgetting no you you sit on your phone and you are buried in it you cannot get out yeah but he doesn't forget to text people back after they wish him happy birthday that's the issue glance at things and i just and you just go on well here's another a vice versa to this playing devil's advocate here that was avocado yeah ken do you feel like you were almost kind of singled out by that post
I mean, he did mention me. Did you feel bullied by it? Singled out, possibly like Ryan was contributing to the bullying? No, because that wasn't the point of the post. Did that post trigger you? Is that why you didn't respond? Is it because you were so mad? Ryan tries backing up Ken, ends up bullying him in the process. Do you think Ryan is suppressing your voice? Why he thinks that he needs to be the one defending you when you can't defend yourself?
No. I think that you're trying to take this one little grain of sand. No, no, no. You're trying to make a mountain out of this one little grain of sand. I'm just asking the questions the people want to know, Ken. Do you feel like that's not Ryan's business? Putting your name in his mouth on his Instagram feed? I mean, Ryan's a strong, independent person. He can do whatever he wants. Just don't.
Make hard posts about Ken. What are you trying to say here? I'm just curious as to what you, like, how do you feel about the post? It's a nice, heartfelt post. That's why you didn't like it? No, I just forgot about it, okay? So you forgot about something that was nice and heartfelt? Unlike you, I was folding t-shirts on Friday. What?
Ooh. Damn, Ken. All right, well, I don't know if Ken answered any of our questions. I'm pretty sure he just sat down, he deflected all three of us, and I think we're all left more confused than we were going into it. Thank you, Pro Capper. Jesus. What does this mean?
How do you stand up for this guy? No, I don't know. I'm regretting it now. I think I'm going to change it to, like, Micah or something like that. Ken's got a cloak of mystery covering him at all times. That's why he's the funniest guy I know. All right, thank you, Ken. I just get busy, okay? Ken's busy. Ken's busy. But for real, though, Ken does need to go up stand-up comedy. I think that shit would be off the hook. I would be crying before I even got up on stage. Stand-up comedy the day CJ drives the Speedway.
Oh! What a deflection. Today, CJ drives a speed limit. Were you tracking him in your Tesla today? I was. I saw he was doing 75 in a 40. 75 in a 40. I mean, it's hard not to do in a Tesla, but could have killed someone, man. I saw the speedo. It said 75.

Ken's got what we call diagnostics. I don't know. Maybe I just hit the gas a little hard that time. I'm not entirely – or not the gas, the accelerator. The gas?
All right. Calling the Tesla. That's enough on that. Anyway, I was hoping to kind of get into something. Ken, you didn't do a whole lot of explaining there. You mostly cracked another beer. You mostly just deflected the entire conversation. We're trying here, folks. We're trying to break the shell of Ken. Felt good having you up here, though, Ken. It did feel good. We got to get you up next time. What is it? It's Tuesday.
On Thursday, we leave for Hay Days. Hay Days is a massive event, mostly snowmobiling, but I would say for any kind of off-road motorsports industry fanatic, it's in North Branch, Minnesota. We set up a booth and...
a ton of you guys are there last year. They didn't do it. Yeah. So it's going to be huge. But like all the big, uh, you know, industry, uh, big dogs are there like Polaris, like every race team, like it's a huge deal. Um, and people are selling stuff. People are, there's like shows, there's all this, but we have a booth set up and you guys will come and we'll have like a photo wall and we're selling merch and we're talking to you guys, taking pictures, signing autographs. Uh,
Last time we went, which was two years ago because it got canceled due to COVID, we stood in line for like fucking 10 hours taking pictures. I saw we started at 7 a.m. and we went till 7 p.m. 12. So if you guys are anywhere near there, definitely come check it out. We're giving away a dirt bike this year. We haven't said that yet or a pit bike.
Obviously. Obviously. Yeah. But just starting Saturday morning, starting Saturday night. Yeah. So that's going to be the coolest part. One day and you have to do it in person. Yeah. So somebody who comes there, buys merch, takes a picture with us. One of those people is going to win a pit bike at the end of the day. And ride it out. And they're going to ride it out. Like that's the coolest thing, you know, because all these times that we're doing these giveaways, you know, we get to call or FaceTime the winner, but we never really get to see their like in-person reaction. Yeah.
How they react when they hear it, you know, obviously over the FaceTime, but it's not the same. I hope this person is stoked. Dude, it's going to be the fastest turnaround ever, and in order to find out you won, obviously, I suppose, hopefully they will because we're going to tell everyone to come back at 7 for the announcement, but we'll do it live, like announce the pit bike giveaway, and I'm sure, I mean, I'd hope the person will be in the crowd, and they're going to come freaking out and get a free pit bike.
Yeah, it's going to be sweet, dude. It is going to be sweet. And it's cool because I don't think a lot of brands wouldn't do that because you don't really gain a whole lot from it in an in-person event like that. Honestly, it's just pretty... Nothing to gain. It's just cool. It's a cool way to give back because the people coming to, especially Hay Days, paying to get in, stand in line, take a picture with us, support us by buying merch. Those are the ride or dies. Those are the people... That we want to give back. And we love giving back to them. So it's like, you know, it's cool, dude. We like pit bikes and obviously it's a pretty...
cheap way to give someone something that's so fun. It is fun though, like meeting all the fans, talking to you guys. We have a lot of great interactions and we have some kind of poor ones. But most of them are amazing. Yeah, and also like I would, this is a little bit of a brag here, but we have like the most poppin' booth ever.
at hay days yeah we did oh it's gonna be even more this year thing that we were like kind of reaching out to them this is no hit but we were like oh we're gonna get the best real estate next year aka like this coming weekend and they did not give us that and i'm like did you guys did any of you guys working at hay days happen to walk by our booth and see a million people there the line that went to the end of the row i'm just saying this but like we bring a lot of people into hay days
They should maybe treat us a little better. Otherwise, we could just literally not go. Not go and just set up in a fucking parking lot or rent a place out and not charge people to get in. Yeah, I mean, they've almost threatened to throw Mike in jail two nights in a row, you know? They can be a little nicer to us. Yeah, it gets rowdy at that point. Well, they didn't.
The police did. Yeah. They're like, this is why we're not giving you guys any special treatment. That two years ago was a crazy year. And we pull up next to like Country Cat and it's just a big dealership. And we pull up next kind of down to the Fox Shocks people. And now we have none of our shit set up Friday night.
We had a hammer slogging table. We had a hammer slogging table and the red shifter cart sitting on a stump. And they were like, these guys just came here to booze? Yeah, we were just standing there just chilling, drinking. Because our tent didn't show up yet. Jessica had it, so we had nothing. They had to have been so confused because they were old timers too, so they didn't know who we were. They didn't have any clue. And then the next day, we pull it all together, the booth, the tents, the tables, all that stuff gets set up, and it looks pretty baller.
And people are standing in line, like hundreds of people at 7 a.m. Yeah, bro. For goggles. Yeah, because we're going to give out free goggles. But yeah, it was just, I think they were really confused then. Man, that's funny. Dude, we have so many heyday stories. So if you guys remember Larry and Tyser, he was like the guy, like the send it, just going to send it. That guy, 69. Is he still popping? I need to check. No, I don't think he posts anymore. I don't know. I haven't heard about him in a long time. Anyway.
One of the booths or one of the brands or snowmobile brands or something like that had Larry and Tice are basically standing out in front of their booth signing people's shit all day. And it was just him. It was literally, he was just single-handedly standing in the middle of this booth and people would just come up, have them send it or have them sign something. And then he'd go, can you say send it for my story or whatever? And he'd be like, sign it, you know, do the 69 or take a picture. He did not look like he was having a good time. Yeah, he kind of looked like a
Freaking zoo animal, bro. Yeah, a circus animal. Yeah, just standing there. So it was back when we were filming with Jake and we would drink –
I hate to break this to you, but Jake is Murph, right? That's the first announcement. People still don't know that Jake is Murph. Yeah, so Jake used to have this alter ego that was called Murph, and Murph was just like a total idiot. He would wear this old snowmobile helmet. He'd be shirtless, and he was just, I don't know. He was just Jake's alter ego, right? So we thought it would be so funny to have Murph go up to Larry and Tyser and be like, shotgun a beer with me.
And we would just film it and be like, Murph and Larry and Tyson are shotgunning a beer together. And it's because we had a few friends who were, like, with Larry. We didn't really have as much notoriety as we do now. I'm not saying we have a ton right now, but back then it was significantly less. So, like, he didn't really know who we were. We didn't have much pull. But, like, some of the people that we knew, they knew him because they were
you know, someone in the industry. Like, oh, yeah, he'll love it. Just go over there and, like, do it, and, like, he'll think it's funny. Yeah. So we go over there and do it. We run up. We don't even give him a warning. We show up filming, which is kind of a no-no, realistically. Now we know that. We kind of bombarded him. Yeah, we bombarded him when he's at his thing with the line. But he's used to being filmed, too. Jake shows up, or Murph, whoever you want to call it, goes, hey, bro, you want a shot in this beer with me?
At like 10 a.m. on Sunday. And Larry just literally, Larry just goes like, no. We're like, well, he was also standing there doing like an autograph signing, you know, and I'm sure he was doing it with everyone else. That's true. That's true. Are you kidding me? We got the air compressor. It's my fault too, dude. I used it this morning. We have the loudest, shittiest air compressor ever, so don't mind that. Ken's going to go shout out. I was like, wow.
Did Ken just die? No, he's walking as slow as possible. I guess he does have a bum knee. But what did he just yell about? Did he think, like, if he yelled, it would maybe, like... Stop being scared? All right, anyways, back to that. So fucking Larry Enticer just goes...
Like, no, he just shuts down, gets out of character. And then we kind of shut down. It was like really awkward. And then we just ended up walking away like, well, that guy sucks. That was our defense mechanism. That was when we kind of created fake beef. I think he still probably hates us. Yeah.
I don't think he's too fond of us. Yeah, because we just walked away like, hey, fuck that guy. He was talking shit in Fargo, in Sports Bar. That was after it. Yeah, because we talked shit about him on the internet. That's right. He came to Fargo and then talked shit in the bar. And then he went to Detroit Lakes for that snowmobile race and we gave him a case of beer. We squashed the beef. We squashed the beef. We squashed the
beef. Yeah, so we're probably cool now. He was like, what beef? That was so awkwardly funny. He was trying and pretending he didn't. Such a weird story. I feel like there was more to that. Why did I think that there was more to that? Basically, the moral of the story is we did create fake beef with Larry and Tyser all because of one minute interaction that he wouldn't shotgun a beer with Murph. Let's see. I think what really did it in was when we titled the video. Let me just look it up. Larry and Tyser breaks character. Yeah. Shit. Did he? Did he?
Did we use Larry and Tyser for a class? I think we did. I think we did. 577,000 views two years ago. Larry and Tyser breaks character. Hey, think about this. And then it says not going to send it on the phone.
Damn, bro. Hey, think about this, though. Larry Enticer was the first one to say, like, just going to send it. Think of what he started. Bro, I'm pretty sure full send started, which is Nelk's brand, started because of Larry Enticer saying that. That's wild. I think the send it thing definitely, like, evolved past the snowmobiling videos. It went into snowmobiles.
skiing, just doing anything in life. Which then turned into full sun. Maybe. I don't want to say it. I think it transitioned into drinking. Then it turned into... Because once they could get all college kids to use it. Because at one time it was just an action sports thing. Yeah. That's crazy. You know what I hate? What do you hate, Ben? I hate when people come up to us and they go, Yo, I love your guys' videos. Keep being dumbasses. Like, do you get... Does that...
Kind of get under your guys' skin. I'm not like, fuck you, bro. I'm like, thanks, bro. But then I'm just like, do we come off as dumbasses? Maybe some people think that, but maybe it's just because I know how we really are. I'm like, we're not that.
Yeah, and it doesn't personally get under my skin because I remember the last interaction we had. One, he was stoked on what we were doing. Right. But he did say, he's like, yep, and he said it multiple times. He doubled down, bro. He came back like 10 minutes later. Seriously, you guys keep being dumbasses and we're like, yeah, can you use anything else? Don't learn a thing. Yeah. Don't change. Don't change. Don't change.
That's basically what he was saying. Stay stupid. Yeah. Stay stupid. That's kind of a funny shirt, bro. Stay stupid. I do like that. Hey, nobody steal that. We'll have that pumped out soon. Stay stupid. It's a picture of Ryan. I'm not that stupid. When did I become dumb? I don't know, man. You fuck up one time and you're just pegged as like the idiot. But I love how that, that,
goes around this whole group multiple times a day, practically true. Like if someone else does something dumb and you're like, wow, you're just as dumb as Ben. But then the next day it'll be Ken or whoever. Yeah. That also reminds me of when we, earlier on when we first started, which we did do a little more like crazier stuff, but, uh,
when people would be like, oh, okay, so you guys make videos. You like jackass. And we're like, no, we're not jackass. Dude, they thought we were trying to be like jackass. Like, wow, we're not like jackass. Bro, I was thinking about this. Remember that jackass bit where they put their dick in the mouse costume and then put it in the snake glass jar bin thing? What? Yeah, bro. That is insane.
Ridiculously dumb. Yeah, just stuff like that. But entertainment, it's funny. But holy shit, can you imagine if we did stuff like that? I don't think we'd be on YouTube. No. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, there's no way. They are making a number four movie, which is insane because they're kind of old now, but they're just as crazy. I remember two. Yeah, I heard it's like the craziest one yet. Really? Yeah.
I remember CJ gave us one piece of advice very early in our YouTube channel. It was after the shifter cart video blew up. And we're like, let's make more shifter cart videos. And you're like, no, you don't want to get stuck as a shifter cart video. And then another channel. Some of the best advice you ever gave early on, in my opinion. Yeah. And then shortly after that, we were upping the level of like stunts that we did. And then I remember you said, you're like, guys, if we keep doing this, we're going to get like pinched that we have to keep doing this ridiculous stunt every single video. And it's going to get out of hand.
And then we pivoted. Yeah, it's all about the vlog and the personality, man. Unless you're into stunts and you fucking are a tough son of a gun, that's really good. I guess that's where it comes back to when people are like, keep being dumbasses, like...
I mean, there's a certain art to having fun, and it comes off very natural on camera because we really are just out playing and having a good time, and it works for the camera. We do do some crazy shit, but we're also like, okay, if we're going to do this, if somebody's going to jump into this bus, how can we make sure that nobody gets...
impaled by something. Yeah. And most of the time we take kind of precautions behind it, you know? So it's like, yeah, it might be being like stupid, but,
But it's fun to entertain. We're at least conscious of it, and we're not just full-on like, dude, let's jump this bus 4,000 feet at a million miles per hour, and if we die, fuck it. Yeah, dude. I just remember – that's why me jumping the golf cart off the retaining wall, it makes me uncomfortable when people come up to me and they're like – again, it's usually distance people who don't watch our videos that much, but they're like, I saw you jump off that retaining wall.
you're fucking invincible, man. Like that was the craziest shit I've ever seen. And I'm like, no, no. My ankle hurt. Mike, you do fall phenomenal though. So that was, you're really good. And it got, actually I do have to compliment them too. Cause they hype me up. I'm like, that was fun. That was hilarious, bro. I had a good time doing that.
But like, well, we also stood around that retaining wall for like 20 minutes contemplating one who was going to have to jump off of it and two, how they were going to jump off a little behind the scenes. And I would explain that to a few people. I'm like, no, we literally chilled around and was like, all right, who's going to do it? And then, you know,
The cloud is nice, I guess. Yeah, that was the determining factor of like, all right, who do you think is the best bailer for this? Because we were like, well, you kind of got to bail out because the cart might go over. Realistically, though, you could have rode that shit out. You probably could have, yeah. The seat probably would have bucked you out, though, because the seat came up.
Or what if me being in there would have made it go end over end? You know, just because I wouldn't have mashed the brakes, but maybe if I panicked. Then again, you probably would have been going faster, so you would have kept the momentum. Hey, you know what? Let's go back. Let's go back. You'd probably be all right. We might be blacklisted from that golf course. Golf cart retaining wall redemption.
Challenge. That thing might do as well as I thought it would, honestly. But the comments, bro. People love that. Neither did our first golf video, though. Maybe it's a long-term play. I think it's out of our normal wheelhouse of what people expect to see from us.
And we had fun doing it. Yeah, it was good. Darn right we did. That was so fun, bro. That was so much fun. This is the second podcast we've talked about, and we don't really talk about videos that we film. That's how you know it was a good time. Yeah, that's true. We love golf. It's a good thing we're not welcome back because we suck. We got kicked off all the golf courses.
At least that one. Yeah. We can't golf ever again. We've been blacklisted from the game of golf. We create our own golf course because we got banned from all of the rest. And that would be probably one of our dumber investments. We wouldn't use it for golf, that's for sure. Speaking of investments. Crypto.
It was popping in the earlier parts of the year. Then it dipped down really low. Really low. I mean, nearly half from the high. And then it started just recently climbing back up. And it's getting back into Bitcoin, per se. It's getting back into the $50,000 range. Ethereum is getting closer and closer to $4,000. We have this joke around here. Well, more so just me. Whenever Ben buys...
or any kind of cryptocurrency. Really, any kind of investment. No, no, no. Or just stocks. Any kind of investment. It plummets. It plummets. Like, I mean, it's amazing. It's literally the next day, it is down. It's down.
It might be that hour. If Ben ever says, I'm going to buy, run the other way. Then sell. Then sell. I tell Ben, hey, man, why don't you just do the world a favor and just sit this one out? Or at least tell us. I mean, when it was going up, when it was going up, I was dabbling a little bit. And then when it was really going up, I was like, there's no way I can lose on this. Like,
crypto is only going up. Right. So I kind of drop a bag or at least a bag for me. Boom. Next week. Yeah. Yeah. In the tank. I literally lost like so much money. Right. And then I sit it out. I'm like, yo, investing in crypto or really just investing at all is not for me. It's just not, you know, I just don't do my due diligence enough to be like, all right, I'm following the market here. This seems like a good time. This is this.
or dollar cost averaging where you just like slowly put in money. I'm like very impulsive, you know? So yeah, I sit it out and finally it starts rising back up, you know? And then I get the Bitcoin bug and I'm like, top back in.
Fuckin' baby! The other day, I put more money into it. So that's where I was going with this. That's where I was going with this. One day. One day. So we're sitting here before the podcast started, and we happened to get on the topic about crypto. I was like, man, yeah, it was up so much, and just today, it just plummeted. And Ben goes, yeah, I know. I bought last night. I go, yeah, fuckin' of course. Makes sense now. Of course. Why don't you just do the world a favor, Ben, and just pull your money out and let it keep climbing? Because you're affecting a lot of people today.
possibly ruining lives when you try to just invest your measly thousand bucks or whatever the hell you put in. So, dude, I'm going to be brought on like Fox. I'm going to be brought on like Fox Business News or whatever. Like, Ben Roth, so what's your investment strategy lately? You been buying or not? Everyone's just at the edge of their seats, just like ready, just getting ready to sell. I'm like, nope, I actually haven't. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
Yeah, man. It's kind of sad, but just wait until I get into the housing market or anything like that, and then we'll really see some effects in the world. It's pretty amazing because you're good at most things, but investing, Ben? It's just not my thing, man. I just don't think investing likes you. That might be true. Where do you go? What do you do? I think you just need to save your money and just put it in the bank and take whatever the fucking bank pays you in interest. That's the only investment you're getting back.
bro you should start buying jet skis or just invest in uh videos because that's the only thing that seems to work yeah that's wait so are you saying we should stop taking money out of ken's paychecks and start taking them out of ben's yeah do the world a service
Wait, why? Yeah, it doesn't make much sense. Because you just said. I thought that there might be something. Sorry, sorry, because you just said, Ben, you should save your money. Actually, you should put it into the videos. And that's what we do with Ken's money. That's true, actually. That's a good point, yeah.
Yeah. We put Ken's paychecks into the video. So it's a funny story actually the other day. We're at the gas station. It was a hot day, right? We're all getting food and drinks and stuff. And Ken wanted this water bottle, right? He wanted this like dollar water. And he's like, you know, he didn't have enough money because obviously we don't pay him. He's like, CJ, CJ, could I please that? No, I'm just kidding. Did you imagine? For the record. Fucking Ken hasn't been getting paid enough. He can't drink a water bottle.
I told him, Ken, you got to be wiser with your money. Hey, Ken, Ryan's your biggest fan over here. He'll buy it for you. Why did my mind go to when you said that? I was like, Ken would never buy a dollar bottle of water. Picks out the Evian water or whatever it is. Do you guys have any more expensive water in the back? Exactly. Sorry. On the topic of Ken actually randomly spending way too much money on useless shit.
Ken, why do you think that every single light bulb in this entire shop needs to have its own remote so he can turn? Can we get him back on here? Yeah, get on here. Ken, sit down here. We actually have another question to ask you. Do you feel like as technology advances, you become more lazy? Yes. I agree. I agree.
If there's anything that can possibly make you have to do less work, you are all about it. You're blind. His blinds he replaced in his room are on a remote control. He doesn't do them with his hand. He goes like...
Siri, blinds down. And they go up and down, bro. So it's on a schedule. So when my alarm goes off, my blinds open and it's nice. Just today at Menards, we needed a keypad. And then I see that there's like 9 million of them ranging from like $40 to like $300. And you pick up the $280 one. And I was like, do we really need that? It was $190. Okay. Well, it was a lot of money. And you were like...
It has Wi-Fi. Why do you need Wi-Fi on the lock? So when this guy decides to leave the door unlocked all day, you can close it from your phone. I don't do that. You do it all the time, Micah. I always lock it. You're the last one in the house. Now that I have the three roommates sitting here, actually, I have a question for all of you guys. Do you guys think that if you walk up to the side of your front door camera and cover it up really fast, it doesn't...
Get, like, who's walking there? Because you guys have to sneak into your house because you know Ken's watching that thing like a hawk. Who's coming and going out of this house, right? Ken sends me...
At least a video a week of one of you two, like, sneaking someone in or trying to sneak in, whether it's, like, too late. I don't have anyone I'd be sneaking. It's just Micah. But I didn't notice it until you mentioned something about Micah saying something about he made, like, some funny face. And then I started looking through the video history, and it was fucking every day for, like, two weeks straight. Yeah, Micah, you flip off the camera normally. Yeah, yeah, because it was like, Ken's, like, the dad that I didn't want or need, really, right now.
And so it's like I get home late and I just go like, fuck you, Ken. You feel like you rebel against Ken? Well, yeah, I'm mostly just having fun. I didn't notice until somebody mentioned it. And then I was like, oh, I'll go look at that. And then it was just like video after video. Yeah.
I think the funniest one was when you climbed over the side of the balcony and then you covered up the camera so you could sneak in at like 4 in the morning. Yeah, why do you do that? Because Ken probably the next day is going to go, the first thing he says to me, so you came in at 4 last night. Well, why are you coming in at 4 on a weeknight? Because I like to have a good time. And then you show up at noon.
Nah, I mean, sometimes, yeah. So maybe you do need some guidance. Yeah, do you want to? Maybe you do need, Ken. We should handcuff Ken and Micah together. Micah, can we do that? Can we do that for the next video? Uh, no. No. Please, come on! No. Why? Uh, oh no, we didn't wear the shirt today. Literally, why, Ken? That would be so funny. Micah, let's buy some handcuffs then. Ryan, can you hold that?
Hey, CJ already has some. You can just use his. I don't want those. Those are going to be a little. You might have to sterilize them, but you can use them. Put them in bleach all day.
That would be something I'd have, but I actually don't have those. Pink fuzzy ones? We have to postpone the video because we have to sterilize the handcuffs for a day. I guess if I have to do it. I do not want to, for the record. And I don't think Ken does either. I don't want to either. Well, here's the thing. You guys both have... I think you'd look cute together just walking around. Well, you guys got to... We'll bring you public places. You got to compromise. Luckily, you guys both love to booze, but Mike, your schedule is...
A little bit. No, it'd be really funny if we got to pick the outfit that you guys wore and we dressed Mike up as a cop and Kenneth as like...
But I'm like so much smaller than him. And they're like, damn, this guy really handcuffed himself to the cop. You guys have to sleep together. It's a 24-hour challenge. That sounds awful. No. That would ruin my experience. You know Michael loves heydays. I would do that for like – Don't take that from him. Actually, at heydays, I would do that for like an hour or two. That's lame. But yeah. Yeah, dude. I mean, Mr. Beast is out here burying himself alive 10 feet down for 50 hours straight. I think you can handcuff yourself to Ken for at least 25.
Who do you think would have it worse? You guys don't answer that. Who do you think would have it worse? I think that Ken would hate it the most. But also, Mike would probably just take Ken to the bar and Ken would love that. It'd just be an excuse for Ken not to ship orders.
Oh shit I forgot How would you poop Mike would have it worse Ryan from the back goes It gets silent Ryan just goes Mike would have it worse Talk about Ken's pooping That's actually true Ken takes like four shits a day So Mike would literally spend Like And they're 20 minute shits So you'd spend roughly an hour In the bathroom Just moving your office Into the bathroom Gosh I'm For some reason I was imagining doing this at Hay Days And I'm like Handcuffed to a guy In a porta potty Why With the door closed Why
That's what Ryan said. A guy? Just a random guy? Well, normally the first one is like immediately after I finish a coffee. Okay, Ken. That's the one I don't want to be there for. And then it's like usually two hours after that and then I'm good for the day. Ken, did you ever think that maybe the coffee isn't good for you? Oh, 100% it is because if I don't drink coffee, I'm fine.
Ken's out here spending 500 bucks on an espresso machine. It's like his ex-girlfriend that you just can't stop loving. Toxic relationship. And here's Ben buying shoes that he will never wear. This dude. Ken, you are a master at deflection. Seriously, dude. You know how these YouTubers are out here doing business classes and selling all these different five
five hour, 10 hour group sessions. It'd be like Ken being like, are you just sick of conversating? Well, you need to learn how to deflect and you won't have to worry about that ever again. Do you want to leave your friends and family confused and disoriented? Take my course, Ken Matthews deflection one-on-one. All right. My coffee maker, my coffee maker. Have you used it? Ken? I never once gave you a hard time about your coffee maker.
Cheddar has. The only way, actually, besides now. I have it actually all on video when you got your coffee maker because they thought it was such a big deal and I didn't say shit. I remember thinking you bought it on the company card and then I was like, what the fuck? And you're like, I bought it for myself. I'm like, oh, cool. And then I ended up really liking it. Yeah, and then here Ben is just still going after it with daggers. Do you sometimes just go into the bathroom just to sit on your phone? Yeah. Sometimes you just need a break. You don't want to be by people.
Do you pull your pants down still? I mean, sometimes. That's a great question. Well, just in case, you know. Sometimes. Wait, is it one of those, like, I might have to go, but I also might not, but wait. I gotta go pee. I'll just sit here for a couple minutes. Maybe I'll go poop.
I'm going to be in orders for about 45 minutes. I'm due for a good 35-minute break. Or like four hours. Yeah, is it weirder to sit in there on your phone with your pants on? I feel like it would be super weird to sit in there with your pants on. We walk in, and he's just like sitting on the counter. He's just chilling. He's like, why don't you get a reclining chair in there? Hey, you know the Robin Big? Oh, shit. I've said too much. Keep going. I just had a really good idea. I've said too much. All right, keep going.
I think we're kind of done on that. I mean, do you have anything else to say about your pooping habits, Ken? You make it out to be this giant deal. They seem to be, I mean, maybe four. CJ, how about your pooping habits? I have one a day, Ken. No, but you go, whenever you're in there. No, no, no. Whenever you're in there, you're like. Yeah. That is similar to how it sounds. I'm.
Not going to lie, I've never heard that. I don't know if it was that aggressive, but I mean, if I had like, if it was enchilada night the night before, obviously it's really coming through hard. I just think you always sound like you're pushing super deep. You sound like it's painful every time I hear you in there. I mean, sometimes it is. It just, it doesn't sound good. Ken.
How are you so good at this? How close are you listening to me? You're taking a shit. I'm across the building sometimes. So it's like hearing a deer in the woods perk up. It's like, I need to get closer. Something. Somebody's on my throne.
It's like the Rick and Morty episode where the guy finds out that, or Rick finds out that somebody's been pooping on his sacred toilet. That is how it's going to be when Ken has his own toilet. If we get Alex in here, she can attest to it. It's loud. Just right back to it. Should we? All right. Well, that's probably enough, Ken.
You're good. Go back to being Jamie. We'll call you in if we need you. I'm interested, Ken. Keep going. I think Ken should stay. I like it. Okay, Ken. I want Ken to stay, but I don't want to talk about his pooping anymore. Can we please move on? This is getting uncomfortable. Sorry, Ken. Something that doesn't involve shitting or... What do you want to talk about, Ken? I don't know. I didn't make the notes. I wasn't involved in that. I'm coming in here blind, okay? Ben, you had a poll on your Instagram this last weekend, and it had...
A Huracan that's for sale in the state over, a Lamborghini Huracan, and then your Corvette. They're both red. They're both sharp-looking cars. And you said, which one would you take? Yeah, I was just curious to see, like, what our audience would rather have. Because you look at your car as an investment, so, like, you want to buy something that other people are interested in that they would have a fun time watching. Yeah, exactly. And, yeah, I've been thinking, you know,
One day, probably next spring. But I saw that one pop up. I was like, man, this would be kind of in my budget. Not really, because it's so much fucking more. Double and then some. But I was like, ah, yeah.
I don't think they're getting any cheaper. And it might... I kind of like the red and everything. So I was just curious what would our audience think. Corvette, Huracan. And they happen to both look very similar. Yeah. And to my surprise, I honestly thought that people would just say, oh, it's like a Lamborghini. It's cool. They would vote for that. But it was 50-50 split. 50-50 split.
50 split after 24 hours. What did you guys vote for? I voted for the Corvette. Really? Just because I think it looked better. Yeah, I think they honestly, for how much more you're spending on a Huracan, it doesn't look $120,000 better. Performance isn't that much better. Performance is not $120,000 better. Nothing about it is. Except for the badge. Except for the fact that it's a Lamborghini. Why? I don't know. It's cool.
Fuck me. You know, it's cool. It's just exclusivity, but it's like, I don't know. It's just something about having a Lamborghini. I think that doesn't make sense. Not really. Would it be cool though? Yeah. Yeah. I wish I could like audience didn't agree. Well, 50% of them did, but I want to be more than that. Do you want to know my thought on it though, Ben? Yeah. Can you say what you were going to say first? I wish I could like your Corvette, but I,
I don't fit in it. Oh, I thought you were going to say it, but I just don't. No, because when I sit in there, I have to sit like this because the roll bar is right over the seat and my head hits it. You're legitimately too big for a Corvette. Ken couldn't buy a Corvette if he wanted to. I want to see a convertible. I wonder if that has one more headroom. Every time Ken, he's sitting in the Corvette, he's looking over the windshield. He's got to wear the goggles like you put on your dog when you have them on the motorcycle with you.
Can we do... We could stage some rollers like that. You sit on some phone books. You could just take the T-top off and then you'd be good. Then I'm, like, leaning forward still. Oh, really? Yeah. All right. Anyway. Anyway, so my theory is that I think some people took it as, like, you were just, like, asking and they were like, oh, like, I like Ben. He has Corvette. Like, I'm going to let him know that his is Corvette. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe. So maybe that might have had a role, but also maybe not. Either way, I think you should buy a Huracan because, I mean...
Just kind of gives you a new goal. I feel like the Corvette is so much more relatable just because the Lamborghini is double the price. It's way out of anyone's, way further out of anyone's, like, budget or aspirations. That's more of, like, a dream car. I think the Corvette is badass, but, yeah, I think they're both dream cars. But, yeah, I know what you're saying. The Corvette is much more attainable. And it's interesting that I would say, like, I don't know, $5,000.
to eight years ago, Lamborghinis were finally getting on YouTube. People were vlogging, buying Lamborghinis. And before that, you didn't get to see a whole lot of videos unless you're watching like compilations. But now you've seen so many Lamborghinis. Everybody has them. Yeah. And that is the, that's the tough part is, are you that special on YouTube? No, not at all. But like you said earlier, it's something to work for, you know, it's a goal to have. And,
And I think literally just having a goal, like you have to have goals. Yeah. You have to have goals. If you don't, you get too comfortable. You have nothing to strive for. And honestly, we've gotten pretty comfortable, you know? Yeah. Not saying...
Just me, all of you guys. Yeah, I agree. We've just gotten too comfortable. I think it's time for new goals. Yeah, new goals. New goals for everyone. Talk about that a lot. Like, for the longest time, our goal was to just hit a million subscribers. Million subscribers, million subscribers. It was like, for the longest time, we were trying to fucking beat the case. And then, you know... And then we got it. Like, the whole fucking split-up drama. Then it was like, trying to be able to pay for the shop. And, like, before that, it was like...
trying to get a Maverick and you know, it was like always like little certain bars and we hit, you know, I think we've kind of accomplished a lot of the shit we wanted or not shit, but stuff. We got to search for that next. I think we need to like, I think we need to like say like we need to hit 2 million subscribers by like this date and then it'll like keep us on the grind. Like, okay, here it is. And like, you know, and then also like some personal goals, some personal goals, um,
for everyone individually that they want to accomplish on their own time. Get back to that grind. We're hitting two videos a week because once you get in that like swing of things, it's so easy. I feel like it's not easy, but it just like, well, it just happens. You build that momentum and that is the most powerful thing in life. It's tough to get it going, but once you have it going, it's easy to keep going. Exactly. Exactly. And I feel like we've, I don't want to say we, we don't have, it's not that we don't have any momentum, but,
I think we just need to up it and get back to the grind, which has been really hard lately because I feel like there's so many things that need to get done around here. We're almost short on time or hands. Kind of drowning in it a little bit. Our biggest problem is time management. I'm not saying that we handle our time the best, but we need employees. We need to hire some help just for certain tasks so that we're not spending our time doing things that...
really anyone else could do. Well, that's the hard part. Being where we live. Being where we live, yeah, yeah, yeah. But being that there's five of us, right? Everyone's got their own role in the business, whether it's, you know, merch, designing merch, shipping out the merch.
editing, editing the videos or the podcast or things like that. Getting supplies for videos, fixing shit. Yeah. Editing, yeah. But, like, at the end of the day, if five of us could just sit down, come up with videos and film videos and then the rest is just, you know, allocated to an employee to do, it's like... It would go so much better. Dude, it would just go so much better because then when it does come time to film a video, you know, Micah might be designing merch or doing something for that. Ken's got stuff to ship out. Like...
There's so much happening. I feel like it would free up so much head space too. Yeah, that too. You'd be in a better mood. You'd be like –
Well, we've been saying this for a long time, but we just aren't doing anything about it, which is the last person any of us want to be. None of us want to be cappers, like say something and then not do it. That's just one thing that we need to literally just focus on and just get done. I mean, we took the next step for finding a new designer and someone to help out with video editing.
We got resumes, but we never like... Most of those resumes, I'm sorry to people that apply, but they were like pretty shitty. Like you got to have some experience. There's definitely something to be said too about how we're like anxious to take that first leap. For sure. Right? We've never hired anyone. We've had people help us out, but we didn't hire them on as employees and pay them money.
uh pay you know pay them obviously a salary or whatever um so yeah i think we're scared to take that leap and we haven't we haven't found anyone yet that was like that stood out to us that we were like let's do this but still i got like one or two editors that i want to like have come out and just like give them a blank video and have them edit it and see how it comes out
See what happens. Where do you guys think that the bottleneck of our company is or the brand or efficiency? Like where's the bottleneck? Where are we getting hung up the most? I think it's prioritizing people like, oh, I think this is important. But at the end of the day, it's like I could be using my time more effectively elsewhere. I think we have pretty decent time management, honestly, Ken. I think our bottleneck is just like ideas, right?
and filming it and then editing it. Personally, I think it's just the editing. I would be able to bring even more to the table if I didn't have to spend a day editing. I would just be coming up with ideas and filming all the time and just making shit happen. I don't know. Yeah, we say it a lot. We're so busy working in the business that
We don't necessarily have enough time to work on it. You need to expand. Expand and think more than just what are we filming tomorrow or next week. That's the only thing. What are we doing? Everything this is like film and film and. The bottleneck of us is us getting together and moving as a whole. Yeah, I agree. It's so tough. Because we're always doing different tasks, and sometimes maybe we straight up just don't want to, but other times we're always working on our own personal to-do list, so then getting together as a team.
One hole to film a video sometimes gets hard. Eventually allotting those jobs to other people, we would be moving together as one more often. You guys are literally watching us grow like in real time. We definitely just did a little brainstorming, a little self-reflection. If you guys are listening to this or watching this right now and you're like, I could actually bring real value to them.
And whether it's editing or dude, if we had like an assistant or something like that, but if you're like, I could, I truly believe I could bring real value to them. And this is how, and either figuring out how to do it.
Get a hold of us somehow, like some way, whether it's email or DM or like send us video proof of like, hey, I edited this for you. Like, I don't know. I feel like it's pretty easy if you actually think that you're worth it and you want to work for somebody. You just got to show them. Yeah, sometimes I feel like we don't have the same like –
or amenities at, like, our fingertips as other YouTubers because they're in, like, a big city that has many of other people that are in, like, technology or understand this type of business or, like, can...
integrate this model in, which is going to help you. Like if we ever want to do anything, we have to do it ourselves. And that's our biggest problem. And it's hard to like find those people over phone calls and DMS and stuff sometimes too. Like, whereas in bigger cities, you can like actually, you have to find the right, you can meet people in person at work. And then you just are like, Oh, this, this guy, this gal is nice. They're hardworking. And you see it sometimes when you get to meet them in person. But like my point, Mike is like, you,
We can find anyone to come and help us, but I'm saying you got to find the right person. Exactly. Which is hard to do. Exactly. Over DMs and shit too. That's how it starts. You got to be good if you want to work. The pool of people to pull from in our area is just so tiny. That's the problem realistically. We're doing everything ourselves and we're doing a great job at it, but we just can't expand anything. It's hard. It's hard. We can't expand past this. I think that everyone should say one thing
Their goal. Just one of them. But I want everyone after this to go home tonight and set some personal goals. Set some goals for the channel. What you want in... I don't know. We could do a year. Let's do a year. What you want to get done. What you want to accomplish. Just one thing. But let's say one thing today on the podcast that you want to... I don't know. Just a goal for yourself. Personally. I'm going to...
Buy a Lamborghini next spring. Okay. All right. That's a good one. By the time I turn 23. Okay. One thing you want to get better at or accomplish or goal, what? Ken, anything? You know, you kind of put the seed in my head. I want a boat. A boat. Yeah. All right, Ken. That's great. It doesn't have to be. It doesn't have to be. Maybe it's not material. Yeah. Because my goal is to like better, continue to better my schedule and-
And I guess also, and I said, but also like try our very best to hit two videos a week. Yeah. Cause that, that again, when we get that momentum is like also just fun to watch unfold. Yeah. That feels so good too. Yeah. I think my goal would be to become more time efficient. So that way I can, it's kind of like two goals, but like more time efficient. So I have more time on my hands to, uh,
research more in just like stocks crypto and like be more on top of things rather than just like hearing it when the news hits or like you know just being more connected with that i'd like to like i think that gets it's like exciting for me to like look at investments and stuff like that that you know can grow in a year's time just being able to do things more things i don't want to
just know how to make money off of making YouTube videos and all the other things we do. Mine's kind of like a two part thing. One, my monetary one is I'd really like to be able to buy a home, like have somewhere where we could have like at least the option for it. And then, uh, two would be,
Like have our lives be a smidge less hectic. Like almost we figured out constantly throughout our life, but yeah, like figure out something. So we don't feel like we're constantly on our heels, like playing catch up with everything. Help us all feel less stressed and less disorganized. Yeah. Organization seems to be big. I think that's the biggest problem around here. Yeah.
Damn. All right. I'm going to come up with another one for the next podcast that isn't material-based because I kind of feel like a... I don't know. It tied in. It's cool. I think free time is the most valuable thing as long as you're doing what you want with your free time. The more of that you have, I think the better off you are, the richer you are.
Free time? Yeah. Yeah, but free time to do whatever you want. Obviously, you need money in order to do whatever you want. That's true. Some people listening right now are like, hey, I have a lot of free time. Yeah, but they don't have any money. Well, it's because you're on unemployment, you piece of shit. No. I'm so glad that's over. I didn't mean that. I'm so glad that, yeah, the end of the month. It's not over. It's not over. Did it just end in, like, September? Oh, is it? Yeah, I think it's, like, done just recently. Oh. Thank goodness. Yesterday? Today? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. I think. Maybe it was last week.
So we're going to have some jobs again or getting jobs filled. Because people aren't going to be collecting their unemployment check that they're going to want to go to work now? They're going to have to. Maybe. Who knows? Or those greasy little bastards will figure out a way around it. Yeah.
There's always some way. I'm sure it was a little random today. We kind of just sat down and started talking. Honestly, it almost feels weird not doing a podcast. So we, you know, no, I like to try and stay consistent. Do one a week. Yeah. It, uh, yeah.
Yeah, it's like anything, you know, like we were just saying, if you're on a schedule, it really holds it to it, which is good. So we're going to improve. We're going to keep getting better. Those of you at home, why don't you write down some goals that you want to accomplish in the next year and figure out what you got to do in order to make them happen.
Inspirational, bro. Yeah, that was. I honestly do that all the time, and I have, like, notes in my thing. Vision board. Vision board is huge. I also used to write, like, goals down on, like, sheets of paper. I should honestly go, like, look at them because, like, it's just crazy. Like, I remember, like, I wanted to make, like, you know, like, this much money a month, and, like, then I'm doing significantly more than that or, like, you know, just certain little things are, like,
A million subscribers was really big or like averaging over 500,000 views, a YouTube video, but, and all those things honestly are, they have happened now. Um, so yeah, just do that and, uh, develop a plan. There's actually so much more to talk about that. We kind of just skim the surface on, on,
you know, writing things down, looking at it every day. Manifestation. Yeah, but like vision boards and all these different things, which I mean, all of us are kind of big into. But yeah, me and CJ especially have been doing that. And I feel like you got to learn that at a young age, you know, and if we can. Or an old age is never too late. It's not too late. Right, right. But the earlier, the better. And yeah, we'll talk about it throughout the years of our podcasting.
So, heydays this weekend. If you're in the area, come to that. We're giving away a pit bike. Doors open this Saturday. It's in North Branch, Minnesota. We'll actually link it down below. If you guys are in the area, come on out. Come say hi. You'll get to see us in person. We'll talk to you as much as we can. I'm sure there's going to be a pretty long line, but we'll be signing stuff, taking pictures for as long as people want to.
like take a picture, talk to us for. So we've got a pit bike we're giving away. So that's right. So we are, we, okay. We're giving up away a pit bike. So I guess we're giving away a pit bike. We can always cut this out later. You know, Ron, you can just cut that out. Right.
