I've seen you flush $5,000 on poll taps.

I wouldn't be able to afford to do that if I fixed my truck. You made a deal with the ops. I did. Without even us intervening, I'm sure they're pranking you. You could have a course in a keystone and you wouldn't know the difference.

Guarantee, I do.

Basically, drug your package across the top of Ken's head.

Evan had his nuts out in front of our grandma. Give you a little taste of your own medicine. Dude, Super Bowl is the same day as a big one. So it was a big one. Hang on, we'll grab a run.

Is always a big one. I think someone poisoned me. If you were hand-bowning, was it a little one? I think it was the two Miller Lite pre-games you had for. That's what started it all off.

Well, that and the three drinks in the car ride to his house. No one celebrated. No one celebrated the Super Bowl quite like of. Yeah, I think you're going to see it on video.

That might have been the only way to really get through what you

had to do. Actually, they would have already seen it. Yeah, they would have seen it. They would have seen it. That means they would have already been scarred.

Hopefully they can see that my friend Ben was feeling awfully loose as well. I don't know if I want you referring to me in that manner, picturing what you were wearing, and then picturing me also being off of you.

You were the second loses of the night.

I'll give you that. Yeah, we did it pretty big. I was pretty much chocked up the entire night that I was going to be doing what Evan had to do wearing the little outfit. We'll call it the bore out outfit.

So I was like, OK, well, this is going to be me. I guess to make it hurt less, maybe I'll have another beer. Another beverage. Make it less embarrassing. I was actually feeling confident that I was going to win.

That's why I was like pre celebrating. Yeah, it was crazy how the tables turned from you were the expected winner to then you took last. You know what's crazy? Actually, crazy is Evan was. That is nuts out in front of our grandma.

Dude, I can't look at that actually. I will say that he's not the party much out. Grandma is not surprised by what she sees come out of us. But she is conditioned at this point. Still has to be.

I was some of the most outrageous behavior I have done.

And honestly, I have my honor if you would have been better off naked.

Like wearing that thing made it even more insane. It would have definitely been way weird if I was just that. It would have been way weird. Chips in case of naked. Well, in case of an whoever loses has to be naked running around the house.

And I was like, well, keep in mind we're still at our grandparents' house here. And also in a neighborhood. Another thing, though, is that we were like, well, if they're fully naked, we have to do a lot of blurring. And we're still going to do that one too.

After that little strain got placed on Evan. Really, yeah, we're still going to have to do a lot of blurring. The issue with it is just really, you know, how fine detailed the blurring has to be because of how graphic all of it was. Like, Evan's walking this way, you're going to have to blur.

Then he's spinning and he's walking the other way. And you're still going to have to have to hold like door over his hole. The whole thing is that we just blurb his face. If he's in the frame, it has to be blurred. It doesn't matter which way he's pointed or where he's going.

We just only. We just blur his face for the entire segment and leave the rest. Just for his, yeah, I can't remember who said it. But I think though I over-surprised how like quick he put it on. But I was like, I have to do it no matter what.

And I honestly felt that you guys were going to feel a lot more uncomfortable looking at me.

And I might feel wearing it. I think you're right. I thoroughly enjoyed it in the least gay way possible. It was just hilarious. I'm not sure how the girls felt.

Alex didn't really have anything to say. She's, she seemed pretty unfazed by it. But she lives with you. Yeah. Wait.

You know what always with me?

She, I just, she screamed like there was a giant. Did he? Yeah. Yes, he didn't want to scream. Like there was a mouse crawling up her leg.

Maybe there was a little mouse. What a laundry thing of it, Ryan. She was pretty shocked. I think she's been fairly conditioned over the years all of our girlfriends and fiancees have.

But yeah, I think she just inverted her eyes. Which was good. That was good. But I didn't need, I didn't need that image in her brain. You know?

Got to say, it's probably in there somewhere. Because you know, all I'm saying is, it burns in really fast. And it's hard not to look at least once. It is, it's got to like, uh, it's like a car crash. Respectfully.

They weren't drinking as much as we were two. Yeah. And now they're kind of dumb enough. Respectfully, Evan. Alex can look all she wants.

I'm not worried about her seeing that. I don't think in, I think in anything poorly with me. Damn. Oh, sorry. Yeah.

You're like, we're going to men and background, like, what are you worried about? What are you worried about? I don't know. I think just her mental health. Yeah, I'm a bit freer than you see.

You are a lot freer than me.

Do you use mirror?

How do you? No, I just am not nearly as far as you. So I will say this though, when Evan was doing all this, I said, Grandma, why before it happened, I said, Grandma's state on stairs.

She said, I'll be fine. And I said, I think you're underestimating what you're about to see. And then it happened or it was in, in the midst of happening, Evan wearing his outfit in the kitchen. And I said, Grandma, I am so sorry.

And then she said, I've been married to your grandpa for 40 years. I've seen worse. And I said, there's no way. And she said, why shouldn't say worse? But I've been conditioned.

And then the next morning, when we were leaving, you know, I give her a hug. You know, I was like, all right, I love you grandma, thanks for having us like there was so much fun. And she just said, you guys are crazy.

That's what I left on you guys are crazy.

I think that, I mean, we, we like college party at their house. We took Grandpa Ron out, gambling and bar hopping on a Sunday evening. My personal favorite moment from the whole night that I don't completely remember. But there is a video of it is where I fall down the stairs into Ben, but Ben thinks it's grandpa falling down.

He's doing probably too much. Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, are you on a kill? I mean, it's popping up. And I'll explain what's going on. I'll do it.

I'll do it. I came running again. I might go. Oh my God. And I will say exactly how this happened.

We're standing at the top of the stairs, Ben's walking down, Evan's right behind, and Grandpa and I are going to be the last one's down. And I go, hey, watch out, because there's a bunch of stuff on the stairs. And I'm like, I'm concerned, you know, we've been out all night. And so I go, hey, careful on the stairs.

And Evan, I think heard that and then swan dove off the like third stair from the top.

You just jumped. You heard it. You heard beat carefully. And he's wrong. He's never mind.

He's very, very precise. I think I just had to prove like, I'm not going to trip and fall. I'll just fall. It'll be fine. Well, yeah, I mean, this was about five minutes after Evan put his head through

our Sprinter van TV. Oh, yeah. That was, yeah. But he holds what you're elbow through it. Ben.

Oh, we have a group. Oh, we have a group. A conversation. What, Ben? Who pulled my pants?

Lovely Sprinter. Luckily. It's hard to say it over. Okay, bro. As you guys know, this is a lot of this is documented because we film a lot of our

lives. So Evan's pants were down. I couldn't tell if you were trying to pull him back up, Ben. I was trying to pull him back up. Why would I want his pants down?

Why would I have pulled him down myself? You pulled your pants down.

And then you basically drug your package across the top of a Ken's head.

No, you. That's how you hurt Ken's neck. Yeah, you. I don't really know, but I know you for sure, some are salted over me. For sure.

I haven't on videos. No, I don't know if they were on or not. I wasn't quite paying that much attention. I'm going to hurt Ken's neck. I'm going to hurt Ken's neck.

So like, my hands are down and grandpa's his hand on my arm, which is concerning.

I think we were just trying to corral you.

Okay. You're pulling him up. You're pulling him up. You're pulling him up. Your pants down right here.

You pull him down. I'm not here. Hey. Oh. No.

That is nice. It looks like Ben's pull it. Ben's pull it.

And first of all, you are not hooked.

Look. Look at the window. Mike's accelerating. Oh. You're right.

He accelerates. Yes. Accelerates. Oh. Oh.

Look. I can see all of you. You swung your arm. I didn't want to punch it. I was trying to catch myself.

I think I'm trying to get your cheeks out of Ken's face. Literally, I'm going to go 50, 50 on your boys. You pulled them, replayed third down. Evan punches his breath. When he was there and you got your dick out again, he does a front flip over Ken landing

on his head. And we're like, geez, this dude is destruction left and right. And then we proceed to walk into my grandparents' house and they have an entryway into the basement from like the garage. We were sneaking into the basement.

We were trying to go into the basement. That's not fake. Oh, grandma. You guys were in the garage. Just cackling.

I didn't know what was going on.

That's why I originally started filming.

You guys were sneaking into the garage like you were some college kids just cackling in the garage. So let me preface this before we watch the video. I'm standing at the top of the stairs, talking to Evan and Grandpa Ron, right? And then Ryan is like, be careful walking down the stairs.

I hear him saying that to my grandpa Ron. Well, next thing I know, I'm walking down. I get taken out from behind. I don't know what's going on. All I know is somebody fell at the top and took me out at the bottom, right?

So it's the craziest in my mind. My mind immediately goes to holy shit, grandpa Ron, just 8 shit on the top of the stairs and slid down the whole thing and took me out in the process. Obviously, that's not what we're about to watch. Let's just watch it and just, and it's a full 25 seconds of glory.

You okay, Grandpa?

You look at that in the eyes, you look at that in the eyes, you look at that ...

look at that in the eyes, you look at that in the eyes, you look at that in the eyes, you look down. I look down, expecting him to be under me because I didn't, oh, I can't take it out.

You thought all three of you went down and I looked down, right?

You look at that in the eyes, you look down, I expect to look down and see Grandpa Ron piled up underneath that here in the shed out of me because I was in the house settled in on the couch, I jumped up and ran over because I really thought he'd fell.

I've known Ben for quite a handful of years at this point and I have never seen the look

of such concern on his face. I mean, yeah, you're 83 year old grandpa that you just took out to the bars and then you bring home at 2 a.m. falls down the stairs, you're gonna be concerned. No, I know, but we've had scary moments and incidences and whatnot and that was just the most concerned, which is right, we have PLV2 from Ryan, I was a little late, which

is my bad. Okay, well, that's okay because, like, so was I kind of, I didn't really get all of it. But I love how you paned the grandpa and he goes, oh, I'm up here. Yes. You said it's so come, you okay grandpa, like our 85 year old grandpa just follows it.

You okay grandpa? Do you notice how it ends? Hey, watch, watch this though, I just texted you, Micah, Evan, in the Sprinter van. Something more concerning, the kids fall was bad. Okay, look it, Evan pouring beer in his face right here.

He's rolling head first down the stairs. Oh my god, you were head first. First like in the eyes. Drink. I was thirsty.

I got it. You guys. Look at that.

So I want to also point something out.

You were hitting your head so much that night. God, I actually have been dizzy ever since. So while the bend falls into is a concrete wall and look how the pillow perfectly caresses bends head as he softly lands into a few pillows. Like it could not have been any soccer of a landing.

It was like you just like laid down in bed. You go, okay, gosh, you smack your head there, Evan. But then you also threw your head to the cheeky, oh my God, oh my God. We're like stop them, stop them, shit my eye is going cry. Look at the way, look at the way.

Like you were a wild animal and then on top of that when you teabag can, you went from your nuts on top of can's head to the top of your head on the hardwood floor of the springer van. Throw.

I don't think that that's, it's kind of like wrestling, you know what I mean?

There's some gift to the screen, that's better in the floor, it's better in the stairs. I had your better than, yeah, yeah.

Your full weight was on my head though, like all of you, Ken wasn't even concerned that

your pants were down. He was more concerned about his neck, I apologize. Dude, what a beautiful break on that TV though, couldn't be more dramatic. Yeah, it was dramatic. And luck too, TV.

Luckily, our mechanic Gavin had broke that same TV year back or so. So he actually is very familiar with how to replace it, which he said isn't actually the easiest task. Oh, can't imagine. So we'll just give the disassembled you and tell your back end of that thing.

Wait, you look at the camera. I was like, I'm kind of like, I'm kind of rocking it off. You're like, through the camera, but you're like, "I mean, Bidney." You are. You are.

Yeah, that was hilarious, boys. Like, you guys were like, yeah, that was, did it big with the stairs and the TV and the other TV. Dude, Grandpa runs that up to like four in the morning. Yeah.

Playing pool. Yeah, no, we had to.

Like, that's how we got to shut this down.

I must have lost every game of pool I played that night because all I had in my Venmo is Hunter Buck CJ, Hunter Buck's band, Hunter Buck's Micah, no, the reason why you were Venmoing me was because I was giving you cash. Oh, yeah, playing Blackjack. Yeah.

Yeah. I just had like a half a dozen plus $100 Venmo's to someone or another. I will say, I'm glad they didn't have all that, like, those are college bars. And I've been back to them since a year or two out of college. And they didn't have all the slot machines.

They had the Blackjack table, but it wasn't nearly as big of a deal. Like nobody really played it. But have the bars slot machines now? Is it really? Yeah, the whole back wall, the whole entryway of sports bars slot machines.

Yeah. And then the whole back wall of Fort Knox is, they used to have arcade games that they just ripped out and put slot machines in their place. Yeah, or a fucking table for people to sit around and talk with each other, God for a bit.

They're gamble now. There's nothing wrong with gambling. There isn't. Yes, there. Yeah.

I will say it. I thought you guys would be excited about something like that by the way. I know. We are a vehicle. We are a vehicle.

We are a big gamblers, but it is insane. How much gambling is now a part of, like, culture, like, you go on Robinhood? They have prediction markets. The same thing is gambling. It's a fucking investing.

You know, like every football, like, and I'm not saying where some goody two shoes that we don't do it.

I'm probably the worst, but, like, it isn't insane.

I think Ken's the worst, but it isn't insane. Yeah, Ken actually is the worst.

He's always playing black.

He's the worst. You guys are both bad. But playing blackjack on his phone, when we were playing blackjack, I can remember. That's because it was a real life thing. Well, it's because I ran on a cash.

No, Ken was gambling on the Super Bowl, and he was sitting there and he wasn't getting enough of a dopamine hit, watching the Super Bowl. Can you hear this front? Hey, man. Hey, man.

Hey, man. He was friends. So he was gambling on his phone. Playing blackjack. So first three quarters was kind of a snooze fest, nothing really happened.

It was a part of it. But I mean, you got Pauli market. You got all these different prediction markets, which are supposedly not gambling, but they are. You're just betting it's crazy as a society, how much it is now, a part of it.

And I will say as someone who loves to do it, it's definitely not good for society. I know.

I think I have enough control to gamble and bet within what I can afford to lose, but a lot

of people don't have that.

And I think play price picks, bet on sports, play blackjack. Do your thing, but only gamble, like those extra funds that it's okay if you lose, just have like a fund fund that you understand, you're probably going to lose it. What I mean, if you lose that, you can dip into the car payment. You're going to try to win the fund.

See, that's the thing. But like, so now you're seeing the problem and I'm so accessible now. It's so accessible. I mean, between Kenston, they're playing blackjack on his phone, like he used to only be able to lose thousands of dollars, going to Vegas.

Now he loses thousands of dollars while he's losing thousands of dollars, watching the suit. I didn't lose thousands of dollars. I didn't lose thousands of dollars. I made thousands of dollars.

But you could have, I could have lost, but I didn't know. It's just, it is, it is wild. I don't know. What's your guy's thoughts on like, oh, it's unbelievable. I'm doing it.

Do it. It's every single app.

And like Ryan said, Robin Hood, an investing app is now just turned into a, it's got the

prediction market side of things, which is essentially just gambling. Yeah. That should not be in front of you. That's not investing. There's a big difference between buying stocks and guessing on who's going to win the

coin toss.

You know, I think it's like, it's just so accessible.

Yeah. That's the thing that's becoming crazy. And I just watched an interview, the CEO of Charles Schwab, another investing. Brokridge, like Robin Hood, they were asking him if he was going to do it. He was like, no, like, I don't think we should, but we might have to just do to, like,

the competitive nature of the business, so everybody needs their cut, you know, like every app wants their cut, so it's just more and more. Well, I mean, they're just trying to maintain market share. Yeah. It's every one.

I can share mostly. Yeah. If everyone else is doing it, they have to do it. Otherwise they're going to lose clients. Exactly.

That's what the pressure is. Everyone else is doing it. Yeah. But anyways, yeah. I don't know.

I just made me think about it. I guess this isn't as much as I thought, investing $5 a day over 10 years with 6 to 8% annual returns could yield around $27,000. Doesn't sound that bad. $5 a day?

$5 a day. I was thinking, I was like, what if you gamble $5 a day, but you're gambling way more than that? You're going to win $5 a minute. If you were gambling, can't, there was no way it was limited to $5 a minute. Oh, God, no.

I agree. They'll see. Yeah.

I think it's like, where do we draw the line in society here?

Yeah. I'm, I'm going to be like gambling in my car when you're, you're changing a lane. Like, are there, is there going to be a gambling lane? I'm already. Oh.

Like, I don't know how to turn on your fucking blinker, and it's like I didn't pull this. Playing. On their Tesla's and shit. Like, is there going to be a gambler's lane? Like, you can pull over and, like, instead of having the toll lanes, it's like a gambling

lane. Like, you pay five bucks to get in it, and it might be faster. It might be slower. You've got to spin the wheel, and if it lands on green or something, then he gets a speed 50 miles an hour.

I think gas pump, and they got a fricking little casino thing running in the gas pumps. So you can gamble while you're pumping. Either free gas or double the price. Or double the price. There we go.

I run it. I run it. I try every time. We know you would have. So I'm saying here.

It's crazy. I even thought that about just having bars or TVs and bars. There's a new bar that reopened by us. And the old bar had like two TVs in it. It was inconvenient if you were trying to watch sports game.

Now there is legitimately 75 TVs on the wall. You go in there, and there's a TV in your whole peripheral view, and it's fucking like chive TV on too, which is like Instagram reels go in ham, but it is the vibe of a sports bar. I mean, it depends with the vibe of the bar is, but yeah, you go to a sports bar.

I don't have a problem with anything. What is like you're sitting in the bar, and then everybody's sitting there kind of watching the TV instead of talking with each other, it's like you can't even just drink and talk with people. That bar did do a good job.

They made the TVs well above your normal eye levels. You do have to like consciously look up to watch. That's my problem. Guys, just keep going up. Could be.

You guys hear about our boys to find Diggs, X Minnesota Viking, how is Super Bowl game

Went?

Well, first of all, he didn't play that well.

And then apparently, you could tell how well we watched the game.

Exactly. Apparently. And he's currently facing charges for felony strangulation of his chef. Which is pretty fucked up. You can't.

You can't strangle your fucking chef and let's say burn something. You know, that's good. Get it. Get it. And then at the start of the game, he's walking around and he had his because he currently

dating Cardi B. Wow. Yeah, yeah. He and Cardi B are together. He bought his baby mama, front row seats, and then there was a video that was released

of him walking by and like holding her hand and then she goes, I love you. And then he like says something back and then Cardi B left halfway through the game.

And then Stefan Diggs didn't go to the $1.5 million after party, she threw for him.

And then now they don't follow each other on Instagram. So he lost a Super Bowl and his chick. Wow, Ryan. You work. Andy.

In the social media mud for that one, I had to go down some freaking rabbit holes. And I was just like someone was like damn, Stefan Diggs lost a Super Bowl and his chick in the same night. And I was like, what? And then I figured out he's also facing jail time.

Can you imagine blowing off a $1.25 million party? Can you imagine spending $1.2 million on a party? Nope. No, that's pretty fucked up. And then yeah, the strangulation of his chef is just that's croissant.

Did you see CJ? What do you mean this isn't gluten free? Yeah. Can I get some more context on that? Where's my cashews?

So you had two children born in April of 2025, different others, different mothers.

And then with Cardi B, he had a son in November, but then it looks like there was another

kid around that same time with smokes, Drake's ex-girlfriend, who is a model. Four, baby mama's knocked up in one year. Yeah, yeah, well, he had four different women in one year, four different baby mama's. But yes, two other kids prior to that. It's just, we're, fucking poor.

It's pretty impressive though. So like, honestly, I cannot even imagine juggling that many women, it's pretty cool though that Cardi B was even sticking with them that long. I mean, yeah, yeah. But I guess if you're a rapper like her, it's just probably, this is a different world,

but that's insane. That isn't insane.

So yeah, I mean, on top of that, being a great wide receiver, you have to have

that multiple baby mama's, but then also an assault charge on you. Yeah, Antonio Brown, that's some, that's just like him. Do you have an assault charge? Uh, he murdered somebody in like the back alley after, uh, after some like Twitch stream. Aden Ross threw, that was post NFL career, but yeah, you're probably right.

Right. It was like a month ago, right? He was on the run. He was like in Dubai or something. He's crazy.

Or I'll let you know. Allegedly. He did that. I don't know. Shot at him or something.

I don't know what he is. Yeah, it was pretty aggressive, but CTE, you know, so that's why we're trying to protect you from, uh, head button TV's have TVs with a soft, just thing I hit my head on that night. That's the concerning part.

Yeah, we did it. Put you in helmet. Wear it around. I don't know if that's like a strap. We still get the football helmet rolling around somewhere.

We can just have you wear that all day. Back into the bar wearing a helmet in the bib, they're going to turn me out the door. There's a lot of places around here that just wouldn't honestly.

They'd let you be for a second.

I don't think anyone would ask too many questions. Something to look into. Did you get to wear a helmet for a month?

Remember that prank that we were going to do to Jake?

Oh, you're on the water? Water truck? Did you guys try it on me? Kinda. Did somebody attempt to think about trying it on what?

What? When I was clearing around the snow around my core vet, there was a perfect square. I plowed with the skid steer when it was really warm, it was like 40 degrees. Oh, it was like, I'm talking like a perfect rectangle of ice. Around the core.

Yeah, it was slush. It was literally like six inch deep slush and I scraped around it. Weird. I'm talking like a literal perfect three inch like telling you how it was possible. I took the skid steer bucket and I got as close as I could to your car without hitting

it and then what was left froze. Oh, that makes sense. It was just so weird because like we had that wood down there. And then it was like, it's still on the beans. Yeah, fuck, we should have done that.

I don't think I have any good idea. Yeah, we should have done that. We did. That's on us guys. That's on us.

But didn't we literally explain this in a video? Yeah. We were going to spray as. Yeah. Okay.

That's what I thought. When it was super cold out. So it's fine because in order to do this, we're going to have to wait another year. It's not going to get that cold again.

Anyways, I think. I think it's going to get cold. We did 30 like that. How did we went there? I know.

Yeah. One of my buddies this while you're again. I don't know if Spring is here. Starting something new can be scary. So much work goes in the starting a new passion and your job or maybe a new business.

Who said this? Our buddy Jeff. And I don't think he was like commanding that spring is here. He just was like spring. It feels like spring is yeah.

Whatever what punk to fawny fill say. I like it. Pucks of tawny fill is a fraud. The other little marmits or whatever the fuck he is are we're good but he's been wrong out of like eight out of the last ten years.

Alright. Pucks of tawny fill hasn't been right. Can we look it up? Can we? Can we?

Hunts of tawn fill. I don't even know how to say. But there's been other pucks of tawny guy that yells the weather. No, bro. It's going right.

This is hilarious because Ryan is clearly very passionate about punk's tawny fill. And then the other day Sydney goes, I'd love to go out there when he does that and like meet him.

And you should wait for a real rodent that he knows the weather.

Come like a tragedy. He's loading. I don't know about. Is it there? Is it there?

I don't know if the groundhog. Pucks of tawny fill saw his shadow which by folklore means we're in for six more weeks of winter rather. Yes. But as see how many times Pucks of tawny fill's been right.

It's pretty funny dude. Dude, it's funny dude. And then figure out who was the Phil's before. Is there been a game? How are you?

You live under a rock. How not? No, but Pucks of tawny fill.

I guess I've never seen it happen.

I'm with you, Ben. I've never seen it happen. I don't know what it is. I know what it is. But I know what it is.

You've never seen it. You started 1887. It's only been around for 1880. But it's a thing. We've just never heard of fucking Phil.

Here's the thing like Pucks of tawny fills.

He's like Pennsylvania or something. And he's doing a whole forecast for the entire country, which does not apply. What is he saying?

Why does he deserve?

I'm reading the farmer's Almanac.

What can I say?

He's only been accurate 35 to 40% of the time.

We're going to catch you. That's terrible. That's horrible. So that's great news. Then for us if he saw a shadow, that means that we might have it.

We might have it. And also means to look about the other rodents. The other ones were better. Can I see a video of this? Can I send her look?

It in the atmosphere, flipping a coin. What rodent is this? Yes. What is he again? He's a groundhog.

So you're saying you hear about this groundhog and the winter thing. Seeing a shadow or not. But you had no idea what his name was? There's no way that this is the only one. It's just like a thing.

Punks to fall. If the groundhog sees this shadow. I can't even say his name. How is his name? Punks of tawny.

Punks of tawny? Not a chance in hell. I could have fucking ever. Punks of tawny. Punks of tawny.

And you said what is the groundhog's name? Zero percent chance. Punks of b the one groundhog. But he didn't see punks of tawny. Punks of tawny.

Punks of tawny. Punks of tawny. Yeah, and great name. I've known about punks of tawny. Phil's in like fourth grade.

And on about the time. Have you seen him in action? Yeah. Look at this old time. Well, he's getting...

They show him on the news every single year. Oh, I don't watch the news, Mike. But you didn't when you were a kid. They didn't play this on like... Yeah, like WDAY.

What are these the most? On my coupe. Yeah. And they're, they do a different in Pennsylvania. Down.

There's a shadow up here. Getting ready for six more weeks of winter this year. Whoa!

Dude, does he even look around and see his full shadow?

Oh, right? They just make it up for us. This is the hoax. I mean, yeah, it's all just for show. It's like a tradition.

Like, where are they getting this information? I think it's all just complete bullshit. It's just for fun. It's like... It's one of those things where they just do it for fun.

Like, why do we have a dog mayor? It's 'cause it's fun. No, because we believe in his... What's the hands-on? There's like...

It's because his owner had a bigger pocketbook. Ask your AI if there's other groundhogs involved with this other than Phil. Yeah.

Because I've always heard this thing my entire life about the groundhog scene is shadow.

But I always assumed it was just like... I don't know, like, every farm might have a groundhog. It's like, oh, I wonder if the groundhog's show is shadow. That means it's winter. I never thought it was solely based off of one Phil.

Phil. Yeah. On rap. I don't think that's a crazy take at all. But it is just one.

It's my name. Punk's a Tony Phil. Yeah. It's like the farmer's almanac. Like his one guy sitting there.

A farmer sitting there writing in his almanac. Can look that up as well. Are we just... is your chatGPT on fire right now? It's like... It's thinking.

ChatGPT is saying there's either 80, 92 or 67. It doesn't know. Maybe we could try good old fashioned Google it. Thank you, Jack. There's 80.

No, there's been 80 I'm assuming. There are multiple groundhogs and other animals that predict with over 80 rodents, specifically. That are, like, televised? It's just like that can.

When they say 80 different rodents. What does it look like for all these different rodents? Do they all come out and they get held up? And then some man in a top hat says, "He saw his shadow!"

Are there other... Do you think I'll let that go? Other vibes, too. Do they do, like, maybe, like, a heavy metal shell? Jack Mawwick's winter.

A quadconcerer, Jeff? Yeah. It literally just comes down to, "Is it cloudy or is it sunny that day?" Whatever day they do it. That's all it is.

Is that actually what it is? Well, you don't see your shadow nearly as much when it's cloudy. But are they actually looking for a shadow? Or is someone guy in a room just being like, "Just say he saw a shadow?" They're probably just picking whatever they want to pick that day.

Well, they're not very good at it, because that's what I'm saying.

30% accurate. I got it. 30% of the time, they're right every time. I got to give it to Evan, and I take this one on the chin. I was completely wrong.

It says, "On February 2nd, there is no central spectacle. Event, rather, Groundhog Day involves roughly a hundred different animal predictions across the United States Canada and beyond." But this one is the big one.

In Pennsylvania, that's when they always tell the fact that it's when they always tell the fact that it's like a hot dog.

It's a hot dog. It's a hot dog. It's a hot dog. It's a hot dog. It's a hot dog.

It's a hot dog. It's a hot dog. It's a hot dog. It's a hot dog. What is there like a form that all these Groundhogs are on that is like, "All right, what are we saying this year?"

Are they breeding the Groundhogs for better predictions? Did we see our shadow or not here, so we're on the same page? I always looked at it as kind of this wise tail. We're like, "You grow up on the farm or whatever." And you just kind of hang out and it's on whatever Groundhog day is.

And you're just like looking around, "Where's that Groundhog?" and then that's what I thought it was. It's just like a nice tail thing. And then obviously someone's going to have a specific Groundhog apparently pucks it. How do we know how do we know the guys running these events aren't also bedding on the events and then fixing it? Well Ken, we know.

Probably nowadays. We know what you would do. Dude, sickle.

Did you guys see during the Super Bowl?

Steaker. So he's done it twice now, where the odds are very high on if there's a streaker. And he'll bet a large amount of money and then he goes and streaks it.

And then all the fines and bail is always less than however much he bet.

Which is pretty crazy. I think he might hustle. I think his fines were like 40 grand or something he made, like 150. That's a good deal. You think that, like...

You think they've void that bad? Yeah, like it wouldn't because, you know, like... It's like you can't enter, well, you can... Like you're betting on yourself. I mean, there's so many ways around that I guess you're right.

Well, you can bet on yourself, your boxer. Did you see that he had... Pretty sure you can bet on... Really? You're gonna win.

Oh, that's cool. Did you see that, uh... Ma'am, Ron. That he had someone go out first and then get tackled. So all the security went over there and then he ran out.

Did you guys see the video? Yeah, the video. He posted the... His meta glasses today.

Yeah, that's how he made it, like, so far.

Because, you know... He had wheels, dude. He was running out. And then he saw the... Whatever the name of the football player come in.

And then he just looked... And then he just, like, slid and laid down. He was like, "I'm not trying to get lit up by a guy." Yeah. I mean, it works.

What? Why did that guy take it upon himself to stop the streaker? Just like, hitting people, man. He's a corner. They're fast.

There. Yeah. No, I know, but there's, like, 25 security guards chasing after him. Those guys are fast. Those guys are fast.

For, like, the lore of the stre... I would have let it keep going. Let it keep going. I don't know. Yeah.

Let's see how long this can go. I wouldn't intervene. Yeah. I'm 50/50 because it's... I'd be more like stoked if I was on the field.

Let the guy do his thing. But also... Light enough to be legendary. Yeah. Just blow his tongue out.

Just a civilian while you're full. And run the football player. He'd run. Run the sideline. Who was that?

I was...

Even the chef, my third string.

Long snapper. Can you imagine the thrill of streaking the Super Bowl? No one here in the stadium light up everybody. I was exhilarated in Grandma's kitchen. Evan wearing that little outfit.

Streaking the Super Bowl. With that, you might catch a couple more choices. That'd be more charges, yeah. I'm decent exposure. Some of the same.

People use to streake and they would be naked. Wouldn't they? But now they don't. The studio's ripped a shirt.

I was like that's what they were complicated.

A lot of comments that were fired out by, hey, did we... Did we change the definition of streaking here? I would say if it would have been Evan's little singlet thing, I'd consider that streaking. Yeah, streaking should be primarily minimal clothes.

But then what do we call it if you're fully clothed? Just run in the field. At that point. Did you see the guy running the field? It's called sports.

Yeah. Trust passing. Yeah, just trust passing. Dude, I think it used to be, like, if you were a streaker, it's like that guy's sick in the head.

Now it's like, you're a streaker. It's like, okay, so why do you do that for the internet? He was just trying to get some Instagram cloud. He was trying to get whatever cloud back in the day. They were like doing it for possibly the love of the game.

Or just because they were, they were just a sicko. Perhaps a drunk bet with their buddies. Yeah, that too, like, lots of smaller things to do it for. But yeah, the guy that did it is the guy that has the Bugatti that Matt Armstrong is rebuilding right now.

Oh, really? That's like the legendary Bugatti. Yeah. That's right. That was crashed because they...

I don't know if the water went. No. No. How on is that? Just like somebody pulled out in front of him and he, like,

T-boned him.

But it's like a six million dollar Bugatti.

Like, super rare Bugatti. And after he crashed it, he bought it back from insurance for, like, two million dollars. And then it was going to cost him two million dollars to have rebuilt.

I think, buy Bugatti. And he was like, oh, just have Matt Armstrong the YouTuber. Do it. And then Bugatti, the CEO who we were in Disney World with.

Oh, Bugatti went on social media on a sand. You don't have the tools to rebuild it. It's going to be a safety hazard. Like, there's only two places in the world that can take Bugatti apart from, like, separate the motor and transmission from the tub.

And, like, you physically can't do it. They're doing it. And they're, like, 3D printing all the parts because Bugatti will not sell them the parts. I know.

It sucks because I love, I like Mattay. And I'm a Bugatti guy. You know, like, I'm a fan of him or whatever. But, like, there was a whole thing about how you couldn't move the two separate parts of the car.

And they used the caster wheels from the bottom of a trash can to move around and take it. So it's interesting because it sucks because I get it for him. He doesn't want to rebuild Bugatti that, like, could be cobbled together and not safe at 200 miles an hour.

I think it's more just, like, the brand image aspect of it that, like,

you can't rebuild this in your garage. And also, especially can't 3D print the parts. Exactly. And also, Matt Armstrong is, in the same use case. Like, big wrench, probably, well, sorry, big wrench.

Big wrench probably couldn't rebuild a Bugatti in our garage. But, like, Matt Armstrong is sick of anything possible. You're right. You're right. It is interesting because he's, like, kind of clowning them.

And, you know, it gets more engagement.

He's also, like, but we're still open to if they want to come and help us.

It's like, why are they going to want to help you now? Like, after all that. But it's, it's pretty cool watching Matt Armstrong because some things, like, they had, like, a leak in and one of the radiators on the Ferrari. And they just jabby welded it.

So there's that, like, not kosher. And then there's other things that they go in there. And they do it better than how it was before. And also, his sourcing parts is just incredible. I mean, we have to source a lot of parts around here.

And it's, like, moderately difficult. He's got a source parts for, you know, cars that they only made. 200 of sometimes.

Yeah, I think, uh, a Stradman showed how difficult it is.

Because he was trying to rebuild that Ferrari for cheap, that Michael B. Jordan crashed or whatever. And then how it's, like, not working. So when they put those cars back together. Let's just say Matt Armstrong or, or Goon Squad. They're building them.

And obviously they're building them for YouTube and, like, kind of getting them done. And it's a rebuilt title, whatever.

But like, I'd be curious, like, you have one that was never crashing that one.

You drive it. Well, it's like our builds, you know, like, they look good and they work. But like, you couldn't build a bunch of them. And it's back some want to be. Also, like, case to case.

Like, I'm sure they have some that's, like, dude. That's rough. And then they have other ones that are just like, wow. I think it's fully back to life. It looks meant. I was just thinking because it'd be sweet.

I wonder if I could buy one from, like, Goon Squad or something. I know. And just like, if they ever are trying to liquidate, they got a bunch of dope vehicles. And it may be a good price.

And maybe it makes sense to give me a little bit better of a deal. Because, you know, it's going to another channel. I think the space we're in that act does make sense. That would be very interesting. But yeah, like, typically, like, when I'm looking at cars,

I don't want to rebuild title, you know? But it would almost be better knowing. But it better knowing. And those guys know that. You know, friends, it's buying a rebuild title from a dealership

where they're like, yeah, we don't know much. Yeah, you don't know who built it. They also don't care. Yeah.

I think these guys, like, the YouTube Rebuilders,

probably do a lot better job than some of these shops. Yeah, I mean, that's a thing. They got their name public on it. Versus, someone was like, let's just make it look good and get it out. Or let alone, like, a lot of those cars.

They don't even have a disclose that they were crashed. You know, like, it gets crashed. And then you end up finding later on your modifying the exhaust. Like, oh, this thing's been crashed. Yeah.

But it's cool. Like, the community is very supportive. Obviously, you have a lot of people that are like, like, why would you do like that? Hating.

And then you have a lot of other people. Someone will say, hey, I was a tech here at this. And this is how you do it. And then everyone will upvote it. So it goes to the top.

So he sees it. And then he's like, thank you for everyone upvoting it. Now I know how to fix that part. We've been caught up on this since last video. That's true.

And it's like, so there's just so many stuff. He's, I don't know, he's pulling crazy views. Crazy views.

Yeah, I think with the Matt Armstrong case,

though, is like, he obviously doesn't enough to get the video done on the main channel of, like, getting the car from wrecked to drivable condition. It looks good. It's YouTube, where the, you know, it looks good,

but it's probably doesn't have, like, all the bolts in the fender liner. It's, it's probably missing some of the parts on the trunk.

And then he has a second channel that I watch all the time

that I almost enjoy more because it's like more behind the scenes. I was like, all right, we just got all the parts in to finally finish the G wagon build. And it's not worth, like, showing on the main channel. But it's like, yeah, we're going to get this thing,

you know, buttoned up and then finish the build completely. I think the issue with it, at this point, is a lot of those guys are so big. You can't just sell a piece of shit that isn't fully done or it was half-assed when they were building it

and then expect whoever buys it to not just be like, oh, yeah, I bought one of his rebuilds and it's terrible shape. Yeah, that's all you can do. It's good thing. Because if you're the buyer, you don't almost have to.

Yeah, it's, I think a lot of them have a name to uphold and reputation and you're not trying to screw over your fans. Yeah, it's interesting not even if not even a creator about it, if just a random fan about it,

but made a video on it. It made a halfway decent video. That video would blow up regardless of how many followers they had if the build was bad. I think it's, you know, obviously it's not the same in all cases,

but rather than just a sketchy shop that does a sketchy rebuild of it and then they're just like, wash their hands of it. It's the next guys problem, which a lot of people come out and make videos on those,

but people don't care as much, obviously. Gavin, I were just talking about would you rather own a body shop or a mechanic shop? You have the mechanic shop where you send them on their way. Like the car is fixed.

If the motor runs, it's fixed for the most part. And if it doesn't run, then they'll come back. But a body shop, you got people that are picky. Like you might do a nine out of ten job,

and someone says that looks amazing.

And then someone else looks at the same job and goes like, I'm not impressed with that work at all. Where is like a mechanic shop? Like it's pretty straightforward. Either one of them sounds like a nightmare to own.

It'd be a lot like being a house builder, like a contractor. It's very subjective.

You know, like some people,

oh, that looks great. And other people are like, this is not right at all. You know? It would stress me out. I feel like even like the mechanic shop,

like you fix one thing, and then the next day something else breaks. And then they're like, oh, you did this, which then broke this thing.

You can never win in some of those situations.

Yeah. Kind of like two separate worlds of problems though. Body shop to mechanics. It just makes me think of like, like the pay match tier Xs.

That was a huge undertaking. Yeah. How much money was that again? The bill was just shy of 22,000. 22,000 to pay match 2 tier Xs.

That should's insane. Yeah. And then once they showed the photos they had the details. It looks amazing. It looks amazing.

And they did a great job. Like fucking 22 racks. I did not expect that. I thought 11 for both. Yeah.

So it's like bumpers, fender players, grill, the bottom of the door. Here's then some of the hood. It was a whole thing.

I think it was worth it. I think it was worth it. I think it was worth it. But like straight up, the tier X should not.

It should just come. It should come. Like it's 100,000 or truck. Why is it? Why is there any plastic on the outside?

Well, right. And it's not going to come like as paint matches.

We got it because like they just never do that.

But why do they got that black strip on the bottom?

Yeah. And then the matte black fender players, like what are we doing? I think it's because they, they want to hide rock chips.

But truck just throws up so many rocks. Like mine literally was. You're rear quarter panel. Like basically your bedside on your first tier X. Or cooked.

But you also drove gravel roads every day. True. But not mine. It's all you were ripping. Yes.

Of course. You said wheels that stuck out. All right. But you know what? I mean, like, you know, the bottom would just like chip away.

And so I'm sure that's all right. They used to do it on old chips. They put the plastic. Grass the bottom. Yes.

Pose. Everyone. I saw two clean towels on the left earlier. There was one. It was really clean.

It had just a speck of rust on the front of the rear door. And it was pulling into the drive throughout McDonald's. And about 30 seconds later. And even cleaner one drives on the drive through. That'll get a guy.

You imagine our state Monday morning. Holy fuck. I read it in a row. Four hours of sleep thrown my twisted T.O.A. At the McDonald's and just excited.

Be on board. And enthralled with that. That's for sure. I can imagine. I think you should get like a Tahoe Ev.

Like an maybe like an O for burbinger. With like 26 is on it. And have it like lowered. And maybe it's like a white Tahoe with white white big wheels. The thing is is you guys are the people that think.

I like the big wheels. Especially that guy. It's like a huge misconception that like I like. Don't more than like any of you guys. Like I look at him like.

Maybe perhaps.

Like I think I feel the same way that you guys do like.

I think it's cool. Well to be fair. Why don't we don't? Why don't you give us? We need to get CJ at night.

I don't necessarily like love Tahoe's. And shit like that the way you do. But I would rather just have a crispy clean. I doesn't need to have white 26 is on it. For me to think it's sick.

I guess is what I'd say. I'm not. I mean you can appreciate it in stock form. But I was just saying that it'd be even sicker. So you do like dogs.

I think it's cool. He's projecting on you. Yeah. I think it's cool. But I mean yeah.

I'd love to run back another hangar finder. Yeah. The white one was legendary. Did you see Shawn's the guy that built the. Yeah.

Amazing. Yeah. Super sick. Pop that up. That thing is amazing.

Yeah. Yeah. What I'd really like is a 90's. 90 Chevy. I don't know if Resto mods the exact right.

Where, but you know, the modern six leader. Maybe six to. Supercharger tuned up. I think that'd be like. Like I'm sick.

It's escalating quickly. Yeah. Probably. Two with the super chargers about as big as it gets. Reveal.

It's like a cranny with two. It's Chevy motor. I might be saying like wool vet motor, whatever. I don't even know.

But I've also never been a big a bourbon or Tahoe guy.

Because we're the fuck am I going to put my dirt bike?

I can't. That's what we needed to see. Well, I saw watch this whole 41 minute video here. Can't. What do is Instagram.

Oh. See. See. Tell me that we'll set up main. Main more than.

Then then a donk set up. I mean, it's definitely more performance set up for sure. Dude. Like that might be the most. Evan vehicle I've ever seen in my life.

Obviously besides for an elk. You know, donked out and Lamborghini Guyardo. But third up. This thing is perfect. I put that at number one above a above an elk.

You know. Yeah, I don't. I've only seen him drive the elk. I mean, I'm like twice. But what about Lamborghini Guyardo?

Same. I'm scared for the day. I come back to the shop and you got fucking 26 is on the Lambo. I don't even think about it. Yeah.

Oh, I don't even think about it.

That's 26 is.

You drive it or what? That's isn't that the next idea. I really think we need a donk. I would never do that. I'd be messed up because it would just ruin it.

But like this is such a proper car. He's got to come. He's got to bring that up. Yeah. We also.

Oh, it's so sick. You need one. You're going to want to buy it, aren't you? I think we should build one. What?

Let's just think of one good reason. Not to. I can't. It's a practical rig. Yeah.

I don't know.

I think about how many subwoofers you could put in the back.

Oh. Half a dozen 15s. A couple of albracats on those on the jiff rig. Add another alternator just in case. And then you put, we could lay some mint down and then do it on top of the cement.

So it had like a real foundation to just vibrate everything else in the car. Loosen. That's one of those guys do it. Like our buddy Mark used to build vehicles for subwoofer competitions. Really.

And they would put concrete in the car. Wow. I didn't know that part. Concrete? Yes.

Like before? Why? Apparently it was better for the reverbs. As soon as you surpass. Good sounding music.

What? The hell is the point. Like I watch. I watch them all the time. You know the hairs flying around.

They dump a bag of chips and it's floating. I think they love the game. How freaking expensive those vehicles are. And it's just like absurd. Well, you remember seeing them at Seema?

Yeah. Yeah. It was kind of sick. Honestly, I was pretty stuck.

That was like the first time I've seen a bushel in.

When I was in high school, one of my buddies had like a 99 Tahoe with like subwoofer setup like that. Like I think there was like 15s or something. And then like some 12s. It was too much.

It was too much. I couldn't ride it with them. And then I'll also to top that off. It was on like 24s. That were white.

It was white. It was pretty fucking sick actually. But so you really just want me to buy your buddies Tahoe. That thing's long gone. But yeah.

But yeah.

You don't hear like you should drive around town.

And there were just all at most stop lights. There was one. Yeah. That was hard. Yeah.

Every once in a while you still do it. And honestly, you say that. And some guy had blow it out. Buick. That should not have had the subwoofer.

I'd be had in it. And it one reminded me of my high school career. And two made me happy. Just classic. Trunks blown out.

But Justin's BMW. Yeah. We had. I was like. You legitimately rattled that car part.

Like it all of a part due to the subwoofer. And then if you rode with him. You know that he's just ripping it the entire time. Yeah. Like the subs.

From the second you get in to the second.

You get to wherever you're going. It doesn't matter how long a drive it is. If it's an hour long drive, you're going to be listening to the subs on full volume. Oh, you're in drums. And it's like, Justin, I know your subs are super loud bro.

Let's maybe just tone it. I don't know if we need to do this. That's how many was it? Interesting. Two 12.

12. But he had two. Same subs that are in Rinespont, too. No, no, no. I put a little one in my pontoon.

But your mastercraft in the boat. The boat had those. Which was awesome to the trip. The ultra pouches are the ultimate guilt free pouch. Have you ever tried quitting nicotine.

Running small businesses, tough, one thing we struggled with early in our business career was finding a lender that we could actually trust. We had a lot of big banks that said no.

I did the boat and made waves on the outside of the boat. That was fucking awesome. Even Randy's coming around to that note, you know, that was pretty cool. When you were doing it, I was kind of a little bit nervous because it was just our boat driving around and like the whole lake could hear the subs. Now look at back. That was pretty cool.

It's like, how do you make it more obnoxious for everyone on land?

Yeah, bigger stuff. Oh, man, that was so awesome. You're sitting there all the cans would be rattling around. A can with a quarter full would rattle out of the cup holder. This is awesome. This is the epitome of why people do it is like, you see the look on Ryan's face?

How are you smiling? Thinking about that can rattling out of the cup holder? Yeah, it was lit too. Like if it was the right mood, having those things going when you had the volume crank made it more lit.

But you're a single lyric.

No, it's just the boat even makes more, because you're like in and there with a bunch of people party. Yeah, you're not driving around. Yeah, it was great. That's where I thought it was the most funny is that you would just look for any excuse to go driving so you could play your subs. And then like, I remember when I was on pizza deliveries and I obviously have a giant sign for where I was living pizza and a number to call.

And they would call in and be like the bro in the room, but you got a chill on the subs. And then I could not chill.

So we got more calls. You know, like I would turn it down for the night and then I'd back to the next day.

And then they'd be like, bro, the guy drove by again, could hear to my house. Like, why does that piss people off so bad? You drove by my house and I heard it shaking everyone's chin on their house. Like those pizzas had to have been cold by the time that they got to wherever they were going. You were the delivery man. I mean, you have the heater bags.

Yeah, it's still only good for it. Mike trusted the heater bags for three hours. Like it to go to the gas station and maybe wash his car a little bit. But ice cream is melting. I would have got fired so fast without the case.

The only time I delivered cold pizzas was when I I told this story before, but I put my car in the ditch. I left it in drives since it wasn't moving because I was in a panic. And I grabbed my snowboard out of the seat and then like shut my doors and then my door is locked. And I'm like, my car's in the ditch. The pizzas are in it and I'm locked out. And it's in drive.

Yeah, and in driving my my boss is like, what the? Yeah, that's insane. Why do you grab your snowboard? We're not just locked out of the car. It's in drive. That is funny though. That in a panic situation.

I left the Guuna truck the four seven. Cheeto truck in drive when the wheel fell off because it was out of control. Yeah. So I get out and I'm like, jacking it up or whatever. It's starting to start.

And then it's going. That was amazing. So I mean, it happens when you're flustered. I can understand. That was the only time I delivered cold pizzas.

I love the joke. But yeah, I would have got fired if I would have done shit. Ken was saying going to the gas. I was like, you can't just go fuck off. You got to deliver the pizza.

Also, you want, you want good tips. So like every, every minute counts in the fast. You get it there. What kind of tips were you getting? Not dude.

Yeah, yeah. At that time, five bucks was a good tip. Five bucks, you were like, let's go. Those people are balling. And then like, you might catch like not that uncommon for someone to be like,

keep the change and they would just round up.

It was like a scent.

Yeah, I mean, like it was under a dollar.

They might write a check for 37 and the total was 3625. Recollecting checks? Yeah, I'm whatever. Yeah. I suppose they would pay when you would deliver.

Yeah, it was actually way more common for checks and cash than it was to pay over the phone. When I first started. Pre-over eats days. Yeah. It's a lot's changed.

It over eats is like just coming to the area that I live in the town that I live in. It's pretty small town. And I think there's like, there's got to be like one person that delivers. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's like, well, you got to see if they're on the other side of town because if they are,

it's just, you're going to have to wait. You're probably behind somebody else in line. But I do, I'm still mind blowing every time it gets delivered to my house. I'm like, oh, thank you. I'll give you the future.

Bro, when Alondar and I figured out we had it, I don't think we open the fridge for a month. We just, we door-dashed everything. The one guy is just straight from Zorbus to your house. Yeah, just all the bars and restaurants back up.

It calls you up. Hey, you guys not home tonight? You're welcome. You okay, does well. This check on me because I didn't order any food.

It checks in.

You should probably just work it deal with him cut out the middle mat.

Yeah, I'm probably right on the side. Just text him, yeah. It doesn't Walmart deliver groceries, too. They do. They do.

They do. I actually haven't used that one. But it does at all the time. And I'm just like, go to the fucking store. If it tries me nuts, she literally is not doing anything else.

I'm like, we're 10 minutes from Walmart. Just go and get it. And I don't want some weirdo touching my groceries. Anyhow. Oh, what's it cost?

It's free. No. If you have Walmart plus it's free. Well, I don't subscribe to that. So I'm sure she's paying.

I get your point, though. Just slightly more than I do to get it.

The city, it was always like we have delivery.

Oh, wow, I'm like, why are we always doing delivery? It's like five minutes away. Plus I like to browse. I same. But you know, we're just, you live in a place where like, to go get, you know, most things,

you got to travel a little bit. But I mean, if the store is five minutes away, like, I don't mind driving. The good thing about getting it delivered is you are a little more selective with what you get. Because you don't browse. That's true.

You don't hit the Oreos at the end of the aisle. Because you've already added them. And that's true. I would never go or place a Walmart order without Oreos.

But, you know, something else of the sort and ice cream bar or something like that, you know?

Ken, how many subscriptions do you think you have? Netflix, YouTube TV. It's going to be a lot boys. HBO. I don't have premium.

No, I don't have that one. I don't want more plus because it's free with my American Express card. A Disney, because that's free with my American Express card. Hello? Yeah, the Disney bundle.

So we're good to see you with American Express. How often are you going to Disney? It is a subscription. Oh, Spotify. Do you have Coinbase?

No. Oh, I do have Coinbase. Yep. Yeah. I think that's it.

I bet you could add five more on there. Yeah, I know. Definitely five more.

I always get an ad for, I don't even know what it is.

I don't want to plug them either. But one of those companies that like, oh, sign up for our subscription to see what your subscribers. Yeah. And I'm like, I should really do that, but I'm going to forget to cancel that subscription after it cancels all the other ones.

But I'd imagine that I have so many subscriptions that I don't even know exist. Yeah. I'm just going through your credit card. I'm fine. Oh, don't forget about the car wash, too.

Okay. I forgot that one night when we were drinking beers, I got a peacock subscription. So we could watch super cross. But forgot I done that. Oh, no.

So then I was still like asking slim for his peacock account. So I could watch super cross at my house, and then finally realize that like I've had my own subscription for like a year. ESPN? No, I don't see. Don't subscribe to you through those.

I think you know, I get ESPN with the Disney bundle, but it's ads.

Do you have any news sources that you're subscribed to? No. Ryan, you go to have like all the streaming subscriptions. I know you have. If you can subscribe to it, I have.

Yeah, Ryan's definitely got the most subscriptions. I do. Yeah, like for 100%. The premium on everything, right? Uh, I did run Hulu with ads for a while, but I recently upgraded.

I'll tell you this. The only subscription that I use on a daily basis that I think everyone in the world should have is YouTube premium. I agree. I'd drop in the ball on that one. It's so good.

And it's cheap. It's cheaper than Netflix is cheaper than Hulu. All these, these better things. You might use once a week, right? If you use YouTube every single day, like, I do like, yeah, 100% worth that.

No ads. And YouTube TV is by far the best like TV streaming subscription. I believe as well. And it's a double whammy with like YouTube. I know there's YouTube music too, but you can access all the songs with YouTube premium.

Yep. We have YouTube premium. You can listen to music. Right. And shut your phone off.

Okay.

I guess what I'm getting at is, yeah, like you can't listen to music with Net...

And Hulu, but you can with YouTube. It's a good point, Mike. It's good. There's a lot. But yeah.

Can't listen to life-wide open podcast on Hulu. Exactly. Yeah. One day you will, though. Like, yeah.

I think that it's going to be Netflix is going to continue to take over the streaming platforms of YouTube and Spotify.

I bet.

We've basically just come over.

I think they're going the other way. We've basically just got full circle and else came over. We're going down. But they're like, their content is becoming such Netflix exclusive stuff. And everyone else is, everyone has their own apps.

No. I think that Netflix is going to, like, give creators heels. So you just run into a podcast on that. Prime has already done that. Like, you know, prime bot like Ryan Chan's penny series.

They bought a shitload of Mr. Beast videos. And they're just playing them on there. At first, I got excited. And then I was like, oh, these are just YouTube videos that they paid for. You know, relicence, which makes sense.

I did see that Netflix's share of streaming time is down. But stock is up. Yeah. I just thought what you will. I just saw this chart where it was like of the content on Netflix.

What's like produced by Netflix. And it's like the percentages out like at an all-time high. Because it's like Disney plus some paramount and whatever. Everyone just does their own. That's that's all I'm in.

Yeah. Can I ask Ben why you had four crispy? Oh, but before that, this is going to be relevant to what we were just talking about. Ryan, I saw you got a gift in the mail from Spotify. Oh, yeah, I did.

Ryan, I works. The armchair athlete wrapped awards 2025. What? Spotify sent me a wrap gift. And I wasn't sure if it was for the podcast or being quad or just for my alter ego.

Ryan, I guess. Do the songs exist on Spotify yet? No.

Can you write a Ryan in his agent or the laziest artist in existence?

Apparently trying to get there. Music to the world. I do got a phone call. But how funny would it be if it was for quad? You don't even have songs on Spotify?

The armchair athlete wrapped award with that. Is this actually? I don't know what the hell it was. What did the car dress to me not to the life of an podcast? But the box was addressed to the life of an podcast.

And what did the little card see? It was for the top. I was listening to the most sci-fi and action audio books.

Which I have never listened to a moment in my life.

Okay, so that is the reasoning behind it. So I didn't bring it up. I actually was the box that was sitting right here for like three weeks. I never brought it up because it never made any fucking sense to me. I guarantee this is why they said, all right.

Who do we send this award to? And they say, well, how about we send it to the guy that we send the money to every month? Oh, that's a good idea. That's solid gold. Ryan, I'm sorry.

And I only don't want making money here. I think that part makes sense. But then the armchair athlete wrapped awards. Maybe they just saw how athletic I am. I feel like giving someone a trophy that's like armchair athletes.

Like almost offensive. I think that's it. Like do you want to receive an award for sitting in a chair? Limbo. Do you see your award?

Do you have an award?

Do you have a piece of solid gold spotify?

Sing his heavy. It's pretty nice. Well, let's get to these beers over here. Yeah, what did they do? What do we got going on?

Ben made an accusation earlier that Keystone was the worst beer.

And I love Keystone. And then I told him, you could have a cruise in a Keystone. And you wouldn't know the difference. And I said, I guarantee I do. Are these?

Are they going to drink it? And tell which one? They were labeled with like one. It's just me. Yeah.

All right. So we have four different beers here. Cours, Keystone, Bush, and Miller. I'm not a huge beer drinker. But I feel like I can decipher which one is which.

And I know Evan can. That's not a question here. But Evan said that you will not be able to tell the difference between Cours or Keystone. And I think I can.

Is there a difference? Yes. People will tell you, say, of course, there's a difference. Sure. I would admit there's a difference.

But can you taste it? No. I don't know. All right. We're about to find out.

I'm the judge over here. I got the list. I think you guys should all do it. I'd like to. I'll do it.

Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. This is actually going to be way harder than I thought. I mean, I'll see.

You're going to guess that. Right. Right. Right away. Are you going to guess what you think it is?

No. Can I? Yeah. I can tell which one is the. This is the Miller from all over here.

Damn. Drink half of it. Oh, God. This is actually way harder than I thought. Oh, I know that one.

Yeah. We'll give you bonus points if you can guess all of them. You can have another. You can have another. You can have another one of whatever flavor you guess right.

Yeah. But if you get them wrong, you don't get any beers. This is very hard. Okay. I got it.

Nice. All right. Let me do that. I straight up can't tell the difference. Send it back over here.

That is interesting. That you guys are struggling to decipher on Miller.

I thought Miller would have been a clear outlier.

Because I like all four of the or all three of these beers except for Miller. Okay. All right. Ben's two swigs in on all four beers. He's got his list.

You're ready. I'm ready. The edge of my seat over here. Should I say it? Yeah.

All right. The first one is Cours. Okay.

The second one is Keystone.

The third is Miller. The fourth is Bush. Okay. Miller Keystone Cours Bush. Am I fucked?

What's the answer? No.

You guys both have Keystone as number two.

So there's that. Who's got the answers? I have the answers. But are you sure? You're going to get it?

No. I'll just let him do it. I know. I'll just try to do it. I have no fucking clue.

I've been just astonishingly zero out of four. Then I would switch it to Bush. Cours Keystone Miller. Still around. All right.

Okay. Beard again. You can't tell. Single one. What?

Like to go fix not the taste. What? Did I get any right? What was yours? Cours Keystone Miller Bush.

Okay. Cours correct. Then Bush. Which could be pretty easily mixed up with Keystone. I agree.

Then Miller. Then Keystone. You got two, right? So Miller was not ready. So you just said.

So Bush is now your favorite beer. Oh, yeah. You're a Bush guy now. You're no longer a Keystone guy. I don't like Bush.

You just said, I love that taste. You did taste like a Keystone for a second there. No, that's that's so interesting.

Because if someone was like, hey, man, do you want to Miller?

I would. I would. I'm good. And I feel like I will say this. They all taste the exact same.

That's what's thrown out. Yeah. I think when you ever come out of the glass. Questioning life right now. Stone was the last one.

I also think there's a huge difference when you're five or six in. That's when that does really start to matter. No, I think that taste only matters on the first one. Dude. Why would it matter after four or five?

This is why I've got a little tummy and five or six beers is a lot. So they got a taste premium. Here's the piss. Yeah. I mean, you know, I'm max out of like three.

I'll fix one.

What I like the most important thing.

How cold it is. Yes. The coldest. Whatever one's the coldest is probably the best beer. At least in my opinion, and I think there might be something to do with it.

It's out of a can, a glass, a bottle. If it was, you know, poured into the bottle over it was poured. You know, like those tasted really good for some reason. I'm not necessarily having been drinking a lot of beer. But it's beer.

Like I'm like, I can't beer it out. Like they just, I don't know. I've never ordered a military light or drinking military light outside of a music festival where it's 95 degrees in the beer is half warm anyways. So normally I thought, oh, I just don't like military light.

And then I had this one, which is straight out of the fridge. And it was good. You gonna have another? I probably will. You gonna finish those?

Uh, you gonna have them. Let me take a sip of number three when you get it over here. Uh, here it's sidebar though.

For a TikTok, we should honestly just have a straw

into four different cans and have Evan fucking. We'll do it again. We'll do it again. The straw's going to throw off the taste though. We should it well, but we'll do this.

We'll do them fresh out of the fridge. It was just. What if you just blindfolded? I hate that I know now. I probably do it.

You just do it in a box and the box is open to the camera. But he has the straw into them. I don't know. I'm sorry. Maybe there's a little disto left in this cup.

This keystone. Okay. Well, all right. I don't know what that proved. I don't know if that proved actually anything.

Because I was wrong. And Evan was more right. Evan was more wrong. It did get you to take us up a beer, which is good. And it brought keystone awareness.

And next week Ryan will be doing this with Mountain Dew. Oh, yeah. What about like diet coke Ryan? I've seen the videos of people trying like diet coke from McDonald's. Chick-fil-A out of a can out of a bottle.

Here. I guess you're a coke. He's got it. I don't like diet coke. And I think like normal coke.

Could you do with normal coke? No. I maybe maybe a can versus McDonald's. But other than that. I mean, yeah, shit tastes different on a plastic or metal.

Like that's why it's different. Or a bottle you open and close. Like a can you open it once it just sits there. But every time you open the bottle, it goes like, and it loses its carbonation.

There was this old time when I used to work with that lived off of Coca Cola. And he would go into a gas station. He'd buy a full 12 pack. He would take a drink off one can throw it out the window. Take another can take a drink out of it.

Throw that out the window.

Maybe get to the third one.

And if he decided, he'll throw that. You throw the whole box out of the window. You just like littering. Yeah. Do you say you just throw them off the window?

You was so anal about his food. I see them do the same thing with two orders of chicken wings.

Because you're going to bring back to the hotel and keep them.

Each one chicken wings. Mitchism goes the other way back. But they're fucked. Throw them off window. You know, knowing that be it.

He ate someone like that. He'd also buy almond Hershey's bars. But he didn't like nuts. And he sucked the chocolate off the nuts. And then spit the nuts on the floor.

Because he said the chocolate was better. Oh, Mitch is making life so much harder than it is. Dude.

But the thing was the first time I saw him do it.

I think he's maybe he's missing teeth to begin with.

What a beauty. I don't want to. I don't want to. He's tweeting his teeth out. He's not good.

It was the omits. Dude, that's a crazy thing I've ever heard. What the fuck's wrong with this guy? Shut up, chat. RIP.

All the chickens that have to die to make a couple trays of wings. And he eats one because they're all bad. And I'm like the most anti-liter guy around. I don't litter. But when I'm driving a vehicle down the freeway

in this psychopath, there's literally nothing I can do. If I yell at him, he might throw me out the window. So hold on. Where is taste buds?

That dialed that he could taste the difference of a good coke out of a can versus the bat.

And then in that statement, it's not like he was pissing money like he was, you know, living on a budget, spending his money on this stuff. So I don't know what the disconnect was. What was he saying? I don't know.

He just says bad coke. There's a bad coke. Bad box bad. But the chicken is just bad. I don't know how to end up dying.

I just see it was just rotten. I guess. Holy shit.

I don't even imagine how much his body shut down.

Okay. Ryan's dad. He loves coke coke. But his go to is the bottled coke. And if he's working on a project and you go to that project,

he's a contractor and say we're walking through a house that he's showing us that he's building. There's coke bottles in every single room like half full. Not even. Not even like three forceful. Like he drinks the first quarter of it,

which I thought that this is what that guy was going to be like he drinks it. And then set it down and then moves on to the next. Oh, I need a coke and then he cracks a new one. Like every single room has like three different coke bottles. He'll just drink the first sip and then crack a new one.

That's his method of not like when he says he's cutting down on pop. He won't finish. Now he's down to cans. But like he would normally just finish the whole bottle. But he's like, all right.

I don't need to drink anymore. So I'm just going to not finish this drink. Still going to have another one in like an hour or two. But like that's his way of like not drinking as much.

I just assume he always wanted the freshest coke.

So he would take like the first couple of sips and then it'd be like, I'm done with this. I can't let it sit for more than 10 minutes. No, not 10 minutes, but yet no, he's not going to. He's not like a, oh, I'm just going to drink a warm Pepsi because I'm not going to have or a warm coke rather because I'm going to have a not. Can you imagine?

Yeah, I don't know why I blacked out, sorry. But like yeah, he would be like, well, if I'm going to have a pop, it might as well be cold and fresh. So if it's been sitting on the shelf or on the thing for, you know, in an hour. And it's warm, you just like, I'll just go grab a freshie. What's mean are the coke guys against Pepsi?

Like, I like Mountain Dew way more than Melio, but you know what?

When I go to the restaurant and they bring me a Melio, it's fine. But the coke guys, if they say we have Pepsi, they're disgusted. Yeah, no, see, I'm not, I'm not like that. But I'm lucky because I like Mountain Dew, so I can switch. I like Coke and I like Mountain Dew.

Yeah, that's a balanced life right there. It is exactly because then it would suck if I like mellow yellow and coke because like then you go to another restaurant and you're fucked. Who the hell likes Melio yellow Mountain Dew? No one. I don't know.

I think it's got to be regional. Maybe, maybe, I don't know. But it's like Pepsi. So some reason Pepsi is a big company. I don't know who the hell was drinking it.

Dr. Pepper. No, Dr. Pepper is her own thing. Really, they're not owned by Pepsi anymore. Pepsi is just distributed it. I think it's curing Dr. Pepper the same company.

I did not know that. I wonder there's such a force. I thought Dr. Pepper was just floating Pepsi along all this time. Your pop is so strange. So it's really great.

It's been on the decline since 2000. Pop consumption seems like they're doing fine. Ryan has doing everything. I'm not saying they're not doing it. I'm not saying they're not doing good, but it's interesting.

Yeah. A lot of people now will drink energy drinks where maybe a few years ago would just have some amount of pop. We're walking the gas station and there's like the two doors that have all the pop and then there's like four doors that have all the different varieties of energy drinks. Try these energy drinks. What's going to be better?

Cooler of just like Mountain Dew. Yeah, that is interesting. Think as like you got to get up early. It's either coffee or like Mountain Dew. Or you know, obviously Coke, whatever, but coffee or Mountain Dew.

And now it's like coffee or whatever energy drink you want. Yeah. I feel like I rarely see anyone drinking pop anymore. I mean, obviously like you drink pop run, Randy drinks pop. But like when I was a kid, everyone drink pop.

I probably drink a pop or two a day.

I probably drink pop at like at least. And like my parents like you just had it like I feel like it's just kind of crazy how it's been on the decline. But then it's like not in my house. I'll do like a Celsius or a monster a day. Yeah.

Shut up. When you were a child. You had a coffee or a monster a Celsius and a coffee all before nine a.m. That was that was it.

And then you were a second coffee at Starbucks.

That was crazy behavior. Can you add up what was it 900 milligrams caffeine before. I was trying to be I don't know if that's going to help. When was this? When she was getting his wisdom teeth out.

Ken was caffeine maxing really. Yep. On this the shred 80 program, which I'm pretty concerned about our body shred 80. What was he doing?

1200 milligrams of caffeine a day like four Celsius?

Good moderation. What's up? What's a Celsius? 300 200. The big one's 300.

The little ones 200. Yeah. I don't drink Celsius. There was one exploded in my back seat and I had to think for a second and I looked in the bag and there was a Danish shred 80 left his bag in the back of my Raptor.

How long was it all? A long time. I just hadn't got to the bottom of the mess. And yeah.

Explode Celsius all over my seat.

There are heaping mounds of bottles and trash in Evan's Raptor. But now that I hear that you're this big non-litering guy, you can't blame him. No, you can't hate a guy for that. Yeah. Just live in your litter.

So, if you are making a deal with the ops. Oh, sorry. Let me, let me rephrase this. You made a deal with the ops. I did.

So Evan is having his truck worked on by our buddy Jake. We are currently in a prank war with. I'm very nervous as a trade for something. We don't know exactly what that something is. I was going to hold his key hostage after I let them peanut us.

You know, it's hard to say. It's hard to say. It's not hard to say. I'm safer to bat. Okay.

So Evan made a deal with Jake's team. They're going to fix his Raptor. But here's the deal.

I think it's going to be deeper than they think.

You have a car bomb in there. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. I'm just saying once they see the lot of the deal. There's a lot of things.

It needs a lot of love. Since I've gotten that truck, I've put 90,000 miles on it. And I haven't done anything. But two sets of tires and some soft brake lines.

How many oil changes? Oh, it's one every 10,000. No, I have 7,000. I underestimated how little maintenance you did on that. Yeah, I got there's not been a serious thing.

But like the front end. It's got about 160, 65,000 miles. The front end is just blow it out. Like I can't go over 70 miles an hour. And at the moment, the heat.

Yeah, it's bad. Like really bad. The ball joint. Like they're not there. Good thing you drive like a grandpa.

Well, I have to. It's not even an option. Yeah, it works out though for your driving. And then we got the heat issue. And then no heat.

None of that. The lack of the lack of heat. And then on the reverse side, right, lack of air conditioning. Yeah. But the heat's more of a problem.

But yes, it's both. It's that's the climate control. And then the. Like, I thought that maybe because the rapture is an notorious. Oh, yeah, the exhaust shield.

But that's nothing. I just neglected that. Your backup camera occasionally causes the radio not to work. Well, maybe we don't know that. They're not even going to probably get into that.

That's a whole separate issue. Power steering. Power steering. All right. Back to the.

The. God damn it. No, they're notorious for power steering pumps going out. Like CJ blew it out before I even got it. However, but it was, it was fixed.

We gave you one. Yeah, no, no, no. Yeah, right. I'm just saying that they're notorious.

That's like a first gen flaw.

Like the power steering pumps. Half revs at full crank. It just. Problem is is I don't think it's actually the power steering pump, which is a reasonable fix.

It sounds like it's actually the whole like steering rack, which from Ford cost is like 2,500. Just for that steering rack, which are the rack. And they're thinking that they're going to put a couple. I don't think that's the problem.

So you're saying you have to cut a bigger deal with them.

No, no, no, they with deals already made. They're going to fix it all. Man, imagine how nice that truck would be if you just fix the things when the maintenance came up or when they broke. We're just, however, I didn't.

I made it this long. And now I'm saving myself probably upwards of 5,000 dollars right now. You can't put a price on 5,000 dollars for driving a truck. Or driving a truck. I'm making a deal.

No air conditioning can't go over 70 miles per hour. The ball joint's really got bad within the last month or two though. That was extreme. The heat thing pretty crazy. I've went three, three minutes or three minutes or two.

I just don't understand. I've seen you flush 5,000 dollars on pole taps. I want to be able to afford to do that if I fix my truck.

Hey, and you know what I'll say?

Hey, it's the priorities. You would rather just spend your money on gambling and other recreational things. No, I was thinking about my future knowing that it would get fixed. And how has that? This is just a dumb luck situation where I'm very stoked it's happening.

We're Jake and Tony offer a way to fix your pickup for a little information. Is that what the deal was? No, it was for keys to their truck that I stole. And I was going to hold them hostage to give back to you guys. And I just go watch the video, can.

Well, it's just hard to say. You can believe what you see. You think I gave them information. I think the verdict still is out.

You can never believe everything you see on the internet.

But I'm pretty stoked to get the wrap wrapped your back up in tip top shape. But I'm also a bit nervous. I don't think they're going to fuck with it. Perhaps. Honestly, I can happen.

I mean, they already told me it's going to be like a, at least like two weeks. They can do a lot into you. What if they wrap it pink?

Honestly, I think they're going to already put that into existence where I'm like,

God, I just hope they don't fucking wrap it pink. What if they paint you? I'm like, you guys are going to make them wrap it pink. It's not even going to be them. You guys are going to sell bad ideas like wrap it pink.

And then it's just going to be like, God dammit. Now I have to drive a silver truck because I'm going to rip it off immediately. And it's like, I actually like the red. And now I'm going to have to drive a silver truck. So because I'm not going to spend $7,500 to re-rap it,

you don't think you would like if we dunked it. [laughter] That would be funny.

Okay, see here's the thing.

If you dunk it, it will be great. I'll burn the tires off. Everything will be great. And then I can go back to where it was. If it goes rap pink, it's just never going to be read again.

Let's see, re-rap it. Are you planning on running it? I'm going to put it forever forever. We would put it back to like, well, like there's just like other cooler things.

And money on the lambo or do or like even literally just buy a whole another suburban or anything. Rather than like take my daily and buy something else.

I think the first-gen rap to really is the perfect truck.

Contrary to what I said about like, I haven't fixed anything. But I would always reason. It's an affordable truck to fix. You know what? [laughter]

What do you want to do? Especially when you don't. [laughter] But I mean, it's a good old fashioned. It's a V8 with a six-speed transmission.

It's not twin-turbo V6 with a fucking 11 speed or whatever the hell are you. Like it's just way less. It's just a perfect truck. I agree. It's totally.

It's totally way better than like Ben's rap. It does, totally. So I don't know. I just think it's a perfect truck. And it does everything I wanted to do.

So I'm like, I might as well just keep running over 200 for sure. Oh, so I have that by spring. Can't move. Do you think are you worried about possibly falling in love with Ken's rap? Or when he borrows it to you?

Uh, I don't see it. I don't see it. Farland and love. It's just like a little go cuter. My rapter just kind of like becomes the rig that everyone drives when they're their vehicles

or in the shop or broken. It only gets to drive it like every couple months. It is nice if you can. Whenever you guys call your Bronco rapters, rapters.

I get they are rapters, but it always throws me on.

I never did that. It's Bronco.

I think we've caught Ken, even though we're in truck behavior.

I think we've got a severe spanking for that one. You did. Yeah. That one's just a little. A little far fetched.

Yeah. I did stretch stretch it a little bit on that one. Plus, you seen the way that Tony's been twisted up rapter frames lately? In the way of possession of mine. That's true.

They might jump in. What if it comes back in worst shape? That'd be a funny frame. It's more fucked up. It's like, well, this is what you get for not fixing it.

It comes back with a Cummins motor in it. Ken, you're coming up with good ideas. We put Gavin's old Cummins motor in it. Yeah. That would suck.

That would suck. It'd be like pranked me on the El Camino because it's awesome. But I don't rely on it every single day. The rapters just like shoving a stick in someone's spokes. It's really wrecking there.

You have to drive your Lambo. Yeah. When it's 20 below out. When it's on it. It's fucking real drive bro.

And I know Mike does it with his core. It's not a winner car. You seem to put a new battery in it and it's good to go. That gives me way more traction on the ice. Right.

Well, it's good thing it's basically spring. There's no ice on the roads anymore. You know what? Honestly, he is so by far the nicest thing I've ever had. I never thought I'd own a freaking Lambo.

I don't want to fucking wreck it for no goddamn reason. Like both of you guys literally slid off the road. Like not even moving because you didn't have the right tires on it. And now I'm going to pull this thing out. And I'm going to be right where you guys were.

I want to make it out the driveway. It's true. You would know very quick. I'm just trying to like at least make it tell summer.

Then I can enjoy it.

But if I pile it up now, you'll have to deal with it.

You'll have to daily drive the El Camino. I wouldn't mind that, honestly. It's great car. I'll do it if I have to. What?

I would have to switch the wheel setup. Yeah, I mean. Why?

Well, that's why you're like, if you guys don't, you hit it.

Even the one time you're like, well, I got like the same size tires on my Lamborghini. And I'm like, I don't think so. And they were parked next to you. Like, oh yeah, those are way. Like do they are actually a better man?

Like feel it all. Do it. You really do it. And in that El Camino suspension, it's, you know, not exactly moderate. Existent.

Yeah. It's a rough ride. But can't put a price. Um, style. It's true, man.

When you love dogs the way that you do, you're willing to sacrifice.

I do got to get a second battery in there too for the subs.

Only bang for like 30 seconds. And I started getting interference from the alternator. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Do you think if you ever got another vehicle, so say you get a fourth vehicle. Like you're talking about getting a towel. Would you do a red one? I think you got to. Here's the eighth red at this point.

You have three red. No, no, no, no. I actually have a fourth red vehicle. You guys just like don't know about it. I have a 65.

I have a 65. I've been fucking sick. Just sitting in storage back home. It's also, yeah, you've got to get a fifth red vehicle. I think you got to stick with it.

You've also got the view of just sitting in the field. What type of it's not red. Like ruin is not there.

You guys know, you guys happen to notice that anything Evan cares about.

We have no idea that it exists. Would you like me to drive the old plimith out here next summer? I don't think that you let us be around it. I'm going to look at it. I take you guys for a ride.

Touch it. We're going to film a video one day where we go up to Evan's stomping grounds. And we break his shit. That's my greatest in everything. Everything I've worked my whole life for.

Just God. Seconds of Ben just. Happy you're now. Happy you're in a pig and shit. Oh, is this a really, is this that nice snowman we were talking about?

Just kick the windshield of it. It's a God. It's a good idea. I'm going to be do deserve it, honestly, but nothing's off limits. Vehicles like you're plumbing family heirlooms could be.

I can take care of the plumbing. And that actually is a side note. I'm on that plimith that that is a family heirloom is is a little. Oh, it's like when my grandpa's stepped that whatever he passed down. Yeah.

That's why I haven't took it out because there's a time where I was going to like,

motor swap it and do stuff and then it's like just vim matching all original type of thing where it's like, And now that I have other stuff that's cool, like it's not even worth. Don't even look at it. Just don't even look at it. Leave it under a cover under our roof.

Drive it once a year and let her sit. Little investments in there. It's only investment if you sell it. I ain't going to sell it. I'll pass it along.

Network. What's up in value? Until we have something to do with it. Give you a little taste of your own medicine. The barn is staying and falls on it.

Ben hits it like you hit the chicken coop. Yeah, accidentally hit the breaks late. Well, as long as that video, I get the revenue from them will call it even because that's usually all it works right. I break and yeah, we'll see. We'll see if that'll cover it.

I don't think you want to make that deal. Shit. Got a lot to think about. Yeah, we do. Maybe not that much.

I think we got to go and really get to the bottom of this. This beer situation and I don't know if the evidence is there. I think that maybe things have been tampered with and we just can't be sure. We could try what Mike said after five it's different. So yeah, we'll try that.

Yeah, we'll get right to it.

And honestly, I mean, given the circumstances.

Evan, I am happy for you for your truck. It's awesome to see it gets a maintenance. It's a little scary that who is coming from. My impact the rest of the crew, so we don't know yet. We might have to hop in on it if anything.

He's at the most risk. That's for sure. Yeah, that's true. Unless Evan put a car bomb in his Raptor. Then air at the most risk.

It's going to come back looking like Ben Subaru. That's what I'm scared. We have like cameras on their shop. We call them over. The things and they were like, all right, everyone's out of the shop, right?

They're like, yeah, what are you got going on? See this? What is that? That's our shop. Our detonator, film their reaction.

Yeah, that would definitely be pretty good prank to get him back. I just hope they surprise me with how awesome it is. And not surprise me with what the hell did you do? I guess we'll see about that. Only time will tell.

Time will tell. And we might have to intervene. You can see what they are planned. You're definitely fucked. Yeah, you are.

You're going to have to. Without even else intervening, I'm sure they're pranking you. Well, as long as you drive my bronco less than Gavin did, it's probably fine. Well, he's probably going to drive mine for a while.

Was that like 10,000? Gavin drove it for six months.

I don't remember what the mileage was.

I would be curious though. Kind of done. If they do destroy your truck,
