0:00

People can change over time. This is a

0:02

big personal growth moment. Look

0:04

at Dalton. This is 15 hours and two

0:06

minutes. I've got to think of half of

0:08

the video ideas I come up with driving.

0:11

We get along a little too well. So

0:13

we might have to change something about that.

0:16

I'm so much happier doing this. When

0:19

your friends are your co-workers and your

0:21

co-workers are your friends, it's the best

0:23

possible scenario. I

0:27

don't know if we can talk about this

0:29

on the pod, but did you guys fucking

0:31

watch the debate? Oh, man. Yeah, bro. Dude,

0:33

I've been getting so many. That was so

0:35

many just videos from it. And it's amazing

0:37

that that was actually something that happened. That

0:39

was great TV in my mind. Was it?

0:41

I couldn't watch it. Oh, my god. It's

0:43

so entertaining. It literally, it's like a South

0:45

Park sketch. It is. It is. It is.

0:48

Yeah. I got served like

0:50

a South Park reel right after I was

0:52

watching debates. And it was like, all right,

0:55

the giant douche against the turd

0:57

sandwich. That's an old one. That's an old

0:59

one, yeah. Yeah, I was like, dude, man,

1:01

what is it? Reality imitates art? Art imitates

1:03

reality or whatever it is. If a South

1:06

Park sketch hasn't happened yet in real life,

1:08

it's only a matter of time. No,

1:10

it was genuinely entertaining, though. I'm only about

1:12

halfway through it. It was like a movie.

1:14

I would say if you have an hour

1:17

and a half, just sit down and watch.

1:19

It's just genuinely entertaining. Here's my

1:21

opinion. The Democrats knew what they were

1:23

doing. They were throwing Biden to the wolves.

1:25

There's no way that they thought that was going to

1:27

happen. They want to let it

1:29

go. They want them to maybe step down, like

1:32

whoever's pulling the strings. So they were like, oh, yeah, yeah,

1:34

it's 100% send them to a debate early enough so

1:38

then they can put Newsome

1:40

in. I don't know if you guys

1:42

watched the commentary afterwards, but that's the only thing people

1:44

are talking about. I think it was CNN that was

1:47

the one that was like broadcasting And before they were

1:49

talking about how, yeah, this is going

1:51

to be a great thing, earliest presidential debate in

1:53

history. It's great. And then immediately after, they're like,

1:56

yeah, that was a big mistake.

1:59

And that was a big mistake. I don't

2:01

know though, like why would they agree to

2:03

do that if there wasn't some like hidden

2:05

agenda like that? It's still like a month

2:07

or month and a half out from like

2:09

the convention Like still technically

2:11

has been nominated as yeah I

2:14

think this was like a trial to see like if he

2:16

if he had the chops or Well

2:18

that gives us enough time to maybe get somebody

2:20

else in there Yeah, cuz like it makes no

2:23

sense to me like I'm just trying to make

2:25

sense forever though You know

2:27

like is inevitable how do you like avoid

2:29

it for forever? So they probably just had

2:31

to start that to eventually face it head-on.

2:33

I don't know You know, I'm not gonna take

2:36

sides on either either side. It was great TV

2:39

And you guys see there's another big election going

2:41

on. They're looking for a new mayor a quorum.

2:43

Whoa. Yeah First

2:46

time since mayor Duke biggest thing to ever come out of

2:48

quorum on actually it was in the paper Read

2:50

the corner on paper. Yeah, there's a paper Did

2:53

they mention what species they wanted to be

2:55

they said anyone of

2:58

any age Shape size

3:00

or fur I nominated a guy

3:03

by the name of Grant Matthews

3:06

You're running Ken. Can you imagine Ken is the

3:08

mayor? What would be your first thing Tesla chargers

3:10

on every corner? He's

3:14

blowing through the budget Would

3:16

be the first thing you change about corn rock can make

3:18

it I don't know Depressing

3:22

damn Ken that's our town dude. Can't believe the

3:25

mayor would say something like that I don't put

3:27

around about it say cormorant is to put around

3:31

That'd be great. I wouldn't say cormorants depressing.

3:33

I would just say there's nothing there Yeah,

3:35

I'd say like the nice part about cormorant

3:37

is you kind of a blank slate Like

3:40

you're not working with much. It's not like you

3:42

have to rebuild anything. There's nothing to rebuild You

3:46

just get the title and that's it just

3:48

you're chilling What if we got a dog

3:50

and we elected him mayor? Maybe

3:52

he wouldn't be old enough by the time as

3:54

a puppy. There was an election. What wins the

3:56

election November? Oh Yeah,

3:59

like cuz he He would still be like, it's

4:01

during Cormorant four months. Oh, okay. So he'd be

4:03

like four weeks old. I mean, who says we

4:05

got to get a puppy, but that's true. Yeah,

4:07

we could adopt. Yeah. We got to

4:09

find an old dog, dude. Anybody that's running for

4:11

election has to be damn near dead because they're

4:13

sold. I don't

4:15

know how well we've explained this on

4:18

the podcast, but our original mayor used to

4:20

be a dog. And it was like the

4:22

first famous thing living, being

4:25

to come out of Cormorant. The reason that

4:27

he got elected, it was because of him

4:29

or our friend, Jake's grandpa, and nobody wanted

4:31

our friend, Jake's grandpa to win. And, uh,

4:33

no, it was another guy. Oh, and then

4:35

one other guy. And

4:38

so they said, well, we should elect the

4:40

dog that always just roams the neighborhood. Yeah.

4:42

And that's, that's what they did. Imagine that

4:45

you two are going at it. And then some dog

4:47

ends up beating both of you. You're

4:49

like, what the fuck? Wow. They really did

4:51

want either of us in there. But

4:54

when they did that, I think that like

4:56

they were the first people to ever elect

4:58

like a dog into running the town. And

5:00

so it kind of took over the internet.

5:02

Yeah. And I think it just created a

5:04

little bit of magic in Cormorant, you know,

5:06

a little bit of magic. And now there's

5:08

just, you can just feel it

5:10

in the air. And that's why so many great

5:13

things happen here. Yep. But he was on Duke.

5:15

The mayor was on Ellen. I want

5:17

to say maybe Dr. Phil. I

5:19

don't know if he was on doctor. He kind of

5:21

went on like, he went on like a media tour.

5:23

Yeah. Talking about his policies. Ah,

5:26

that was great. Yeah. He

5:28

started saying he's like, nevermind.

5:31

He had a Chrysler Sebring that you'd taken all the

5:33

parades. Yeah. He was driving it too. Yeah. He, but

5:35

he paid for it with his media money. That's what

5:37

I would do. If I became mayor, I would just

5:40

blow, maybe not the whole budget, but

5:42

I would blow the budget on a

5:44

campaign. I would

5:46

Duke on hot dogs. No, no. Yeah.

5:49

Could use a hot dog's hand. No, I'd be

5:51

a giant Duke, a memorial, like a giant dog.

5:53

I still think that we just got to do

5:55

that. Where do we put it? In Cormorant. Yeah,

5:58

obviously, but maybe the Cormorant Park. But ideally if

6:00

we had a spot in cormorant then it could

6:02

live there forever But I don't know who

6:04

else is gonna do it. So we got to step up and yeah That's

6:08

also why we have the dog with the

6:10

dog bark at the end of every video

6:12

or podcast For the copyright the

6:14

picture is actually the dog. It's just a

6:17

nice tribute I know special time just makes

6:19

cormorant just that much cooler in my opinion.

6:21

Like he's just funny He's got a little

6:23

bit more depth to it. Absolutely Totally

6:26

forgot to do a little special introduction

6:28

for our special guest Feel

6:30

very special our homie our

6:32

friend Justin Hanson as you guys all know him

6:34

on the podcast today You've been on the podcast

6:36

many times before but yeah I mean if you've

6:39

been watching see boys CV for a long time,

6:41

you would obviously recognize Justin He's been on the

6:43

pod a couple times as well, but

6:45

uh, you've taken on a new

6:47

role within the team Which I don't we haven't

6:50

really talked about but you guys can probably Exactly

6:53

you guys could probably tell from

6:55

the outside. Justin is now on

6:57

as what's technically the title merchandise

6:59

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can

7:01

overlord And

7:04

so he's been on the team now for the last

7:06

couple months absolutely reinventing what

7:08

we're doing getting it streamlined because

7:10

you know, we're all creative and

7:13

Business-minded in our own ways, but

7:15

some things need like an engineers

7:17

touch a little bit of systems put

7:19

in place So he's been able to help us get things

7:21

in on time Create new

7:23

products and it's really exciting to have

7:25

and better serve you guys at home

7:27

So I mean just from having better

7:29

products to better service and faster shipping

7:31

and doing a great job Justin

7:34

we have some new stuff dropping Is

7:36

it this week or would it be next this will

7:38

be this week? Oh, we've had really

7:41

really cool custom lots of good stuff already But

7:43

yeah something that he had a hand in and

7:45

we've had some awesome help getting like we have

7:47

skateboards coming out What you see on the wall?

7:50

It's actually not that one's a prototype with that

7:52

one and then another duck cam on but just

7:54

so much cool stuff that We

7:56

got to bring the life the coolers

7:58

the backpack coolers are my favorite So

8:00

cool. I love those chug buddies impact

8:02

vests. Oh, we have a life jacket

8:04

impact vest life jacket Yeah, all the

8:06

party suits are still coming to the

8:08

party suits. There's so much stuff I

8:10

think it's really cool. Like the life

8:12

wide open is is becoming more of

8:14

a brand than merch I

8:16

think that's really cool. No, it's the goal. It's really cool

8:19

I mean to give you guys credit like

8:21

when I started I have no idea how

8:23

You guys were as successful as you were because

8:26

you have any time to manage some

8:28

of the like details of what like

8:30

goes on behind the scenes and I

8:33

was shocked at how much like of a backlog

8:35

of work there is and Still

8:37

is but also you guys have so many

8:39

ideas and really good ideas So it feels

8:41

good to be able to like bring some

8:43

of those to life So when we were

8:45

looking for somebody to fill the position, you

8:48

know We had it posted out there and

8:50

and Justin actually reached out because you saw

8:52

the listing. Yeah, I saw the listing Thanks,

8:54

like you just happen to be

8:56

looking for a new job or additional work I

8:58

wasn't even looking for a new job and the

9:00

whole backstory of it is when we were going

9:02

out to Out to I

9:05

works for the Super Bowl My wife Megan and I

9:07

were talking about it and like, you know It's so

9:09

cool to see all the guys like be as successful

9:11

as they are and how much the business has grown

9:13

It's like so cool And she's actually like if the

9:15

opportunity ever arose like would you ever like want to

9:17

get back on the team? And I was like, yeah

9:19

I mean if it ever like came about like I

9:21

would love to be able to help out and see

9:23

what they're doing and Do whatever I can but a

9:25

couple weeks later. I saw the

9:27

listing I just saw no no if it was on

9:29

Google or wherever but I was just like, huh Yeah,

9:32

and so I just asked him like hey,

9:34

I'm working from home Like I've got spare

9:37

time Is this something that you want me

9:39

to do in the spare time that I've

9:41

got until you find the candidate that you

9:43

need for It and then yeah, well when

9:45

you were like, yeah, so you text me

9:47

and you go Hey, have you found anyone

9:49

for that merchandise manager and I was like,

9:51

yo CJ I think Justin's got

9:53

somebody Yeah, which

9:56

we had actually a fair amount

9:58

of people applying and we were going through

10:00

the applications, but we weren't by any means

10:02

like, oh, this is the guy. So

10:04

we're like, oh, Justin's got somebody. And then I

10:06

text you back and I was like, hell yeah,

10:08

bro, who you got? And I'm like, uh,

10:11

actually me. And I remember like sitting there,

10:13

I was like on the plane with CJ

10:15

and I was like, dude, you won't believe

10:18

this, but Justin is interested in the merch

10:20

manager. And we were immediately like,

10:22

oh yeah, that makes perfect sense. I think my first

10:24

thing I said was, how didn't we think of that?

10:26

Yeah, because we were sitting there under our nose of

10:28

like, who, like, who do we know? Do you think

10:30

that'd be good at this? And then he says that

10:33

and I go, why didn't we think of that? Things

10:35

did move fast because you were like,

10:38

I wasn't necessarily applying for the full

10:40

time thing. And then we kind of

10:43

were very quickly like, that's what we

10:45

need bro. And like full circle, I

10:47

just, I'm so happy that you said

10:49

yes. And we were able to offer

10:51

you that position because I mean, you, you had

10:53

a good thing going and I just got to

10:56

say, you're onto another good thing. If not better.

10:58

I mean, full circle dude, I just like, it's

11:00

the coolest thing ever. Yeah, dude, it's so cool.

11:02

Like full circle is such a great way to

11:05

describe it where it was just like the door

11:07

opened and I was like, yeah, why not? I

11:09

didn't even put in like a two weeks at

11:11

work. Like I told him like, I have another

11:13

opportunity. Like I'm able to start immediately. Like, do

11:16

I need to go through a full two weeks?

11:18

And they're like, yeah, whenever you're done with your

11:20

stuff, you're good to go. I was like, all

11:22

right. So I think I started like six days

11:25

after I did that. Application

11:27

or interview quick turnaround time. I

11:30

just remember talking with the guys and

11:33

saying, we need somebody who's corporate to fix

11:35

these systems, you know, to keep everything in

11:37

line, but also a degenerate. Yep. We

11:40

were like, all right, so they fit in with us.

11:42

Degenerate. Oh God. We were like,

11:44

okay, we're kind of getting hung up on just corporate

11:46

people, which we don't want or it just to degenerate.

11:48

And we were like, we got enough of those around

11:50

here. You

11:52

texted me and I was like, there it is.

11:54

The corporate degenerate, what they're looking for. Justin's

11:57

always had a term called big braining. And that's

11:59

what we. We all collectively were like, Justin's going

12:01

to come in here and big brains. No,

12:04

it's been so fun. Like, well, you guys were

12:07

all gone on a trip when I started. Yep.

12:09

Like, cause we're all across the country and it

12:11

was just me and Ken here for the first

12:13

couple of days. I just like sat next to

12:15

Ken and asked him a hundred questions a day

12:17

and he's like, God, this was a mistake. He

12:21

just puts his AirPods in one time while you're talking

12:23

to him. Oh,

12:28

it feels really good. I know like there's a

12:30

lot of stuff that's still in process, but yeah,

12:32

it's, I am so much happier doing this, which

12:34

was like, I don't know. I was very fulfilled

12:36

doing the work that I was doing before, but

12:38

I didn't have any emotional connection to it. Really.

12:40

Like I had great coworkers and I liked the

12:42

work that I did, but dude, when

12:44

your friends are your coworkers and your coworkers

12:46

are your friends, it's the best possible scenario.

12:48

So it's been really good. I enjoy it.

12:50

And I mean, just speaking from like our

12:52

side, it's like the flip of a switch

12:54

putting you into the team. Everything

12:57

is doing so much better, but

12:59

also it's just feels so good.

13:01

Having someone that we trust and

13:03

we also know is going to do a good job.

13:06

Like I, I just never once

13:08

have we had any hesitation about

13:10

that. And that made it so

13:12

easy and just feels good. Yeah.

13:15

No, I, I'm glad that you guys trust me to

13:17

like make some of the decisions on the stuff that

13:19

has been moving forward and in like the corporate world,

13:21

you guys are all at like 180% capacity of workload.

13:26

Like you guys work 14 to

13:28

16 hours a day every single day. You

13:30

never stop. So like, if I have like

13:32

a hidden agenda, it's to like pull that

13:35

back so you guys can live and breathe

13:37

a little bit outside of the

13:39

insanity that is your day to day and trying to

13:41

get stuff in line so that everything can run a

13:43

little bit more autonomously. And it's good to see that

13:45

it's working so far. I would

13:47

love to be able to chill out a little

13:50

bit. I don't really foresee that. I don't really

13:52

foresee that happening in anytime soon. It's not because

13:54

of you. I think they're just so like,

13:57

it seems like hiring you

13:59

on. And then I was like,

14:01

all right, sweet. That's covered. Now,

14:03

what's five other things that can just

14:05

fill that void now? Like, all right.

14:08

You got like 14%, you know, open now. And

14:11

then it's like fill it up with another 45. You

14:14

know, when we release the products to you guys,

14:16

it's obviously a ton of work in the backend.

14:19

So like that moment at seven o'clock video

14:21

ready or not is like the deadline. Like everything

14:23

has to be 100% perfect at that moment. And

14:28

normally it's me and Ken

14:30

literally just furiously working at

14:33

the last second. And this last merch drop

14:35

before the R8, our biggest giveaway yet, you

14:37

know, all these big advancements, like it should

14:39

be 10 times as worse as

14:41

it's ever been in the past. And

14:44

about four o'clock rolls around and I

14:46

had all my stuff done. I walked back and

14:49

Ken looked like he wasn't about to explode with

14:51

stress. And I go, you good? You

14:53

need anything? He goes, no, I think I'm ready. I

14:56

go, I think I'm ready too. And I

14:58

called you. I said, I go, we good. And he

15:00

goes, yep, yep. Got a bunch more things to handle,

15:02

but we're good. And I'm like, holy shit. Is this what

15:04

it feels like to have things ready? Shopify,

17:14

your new morning ritual today. I'm glad it went

17:16

as smoothly as it did. You know, like, for

17:19

my first time being on that side of

17:21

it in however many years, like to see

17:23

how much you guys have grown and how

17:25

much that process has changed. It was good

17:28

to like, get it all smoothly ran out

17:30

first time. So it was good. And it's

17:32

still been going really good. Yeah, it's crushing.

17:34

But you know, something that we're trying to

17:36

do is like build out the back end,

17:38

like we're building this new warehouse right now. And

17:40

it's just going to be for merch. And then

17:42

we're gonna move it from here actually over to

17:45

the new spot that we're building at the farm

17:47

right now. But we're just kind of trying to,

17:49

you know, reinvest back into what we're doing. And

17:51

that's why we brought, you know, you on and

17:53

turning this into more of a brand, like I

17:55

said, then then just merch. And I think we're

17:57

on the right track. And you guys have a

17:59

fantastic brand and you've got a lot of

18:01

aspects that you're going to and plan on

18:03

expanding on. Dude, the more we do of

18:05

it too and the more that we get

18:07

for products that aren't just t-shirts and sweatshirts,

18:10

the more I love Life Wide Open. Same.

18:13

It seriously grows on me as a brand

18:15

name every single day. It is just so

18:17

cool and the more I see it out

18:19

in the world of people wearing it and

18:21

tagging us in pictures of them dirt biking

18:23

or at a concert or so many different

18:25

things that are like actually seeing it in

18:28

the real world is just so cool to

18:30

me and the more I love it.

18:33

Yeah, it's awesome. It's such a great, I

18:35

mean there's a reason so many people get that tattooed. That's

18:39

one of the biggest things. That's so

18:41

universal and such a great motto to

18:44

go by. When's the Life Wide Open

18:46

homemade tattoo kit coming? Oh my gosh,

18:48

yeah. Just a little stencil. But no,

18:50

seriously, the more and more people I

18:53

just keep coming across as the more

18:55

it grows, there's so many people that

18:57

literally live by that. And

18:59

then it seems more and more evident to

19:01

me that anything moving forward

19:04

with product should be something tied in

19:06

with that. Just to move backwards a

19:08

little bit. One thing also I love

19:10

about Justin is he'll do these crazy

19:12

calculations. He's like, yeah, so we're going

19:14

to need a warehouse by this much

19:16

square footage and then he'll be outgrowing

19:18

that in about this many months. And

19:20

he's just so dialed. It's

19:23

just great. But going

19:25

back to Life Wide Open, when grandpa was on

19:27

the news, dude, he's living

19:30

Life Wide Open. He's

19:32

like the biggest freaking advocate and

19:34

merch plugger for us. Did you

19:36

guys know that was happening? I

19:38

did not. Yeah, I did. Not

19:40

until the day earlier, my mom had texted and

19:43

asked if we could send this photo or something,

19:46

but he had called me last Friday.

19:49

So we could go and was like,

19:51

hey, so, you know, the Roger Maris

19:53

Cancer Center, I don't know if they've

19:55

just taken a liking to me or

19:59

or if they. They heard my story, but they're

20:01

doing an article on prostate

20:03

cancer and prostate cancer

20:05

awareness. They're wondering if

20:07

they can use your guys' footage of the haircuts.

20:11

I was trying to put two

20:13

and two together. I was like, so they're doing

20:15

an article or what now? He

20:17

was like, I don't really know much. I'm

20:21

assuming that he walks into that place

20:23

and is just so grandpa-round about it.

20:26

He has made friends with everyone. He

20:28

has made friends with everyone. My aunt,

20:30

his daughter, was telling me that when

20:32

he walks in there, everyone, giving them

20:35

hugs. They know him

20:37

by name, the nurses that aren't even working

20:39

with him. They did

20:41

the news article on him. Dude,

20:43

I was watching the news before that. What

20:46

a depressing ... I don't know

20:49

the last time that you guys watched all

20:51

the news, but it was like, dude, they

20:53

were talking about drug charges and homicides and

20:55

all these things that they were just trying

20:57

to get clicks off of that are happening

21:00

local or even just in the state. It

21:03

was just refreshing that it was an actual

21:05

heartwarming story. I'm sure they tried. That's a

21:07

positive. I'm sure they tried and knew that.

21:10

This was the longest one. It was a

21:12

long second. It was long. It

21:14

was two minutes. Everyone else had 15 seconds. I

21:16

was just watching it and then that came on

21:18

and I was like, maybe there is a little

21:20

bit of hope for the news here, but it

21:22

was a great article. I bet you what happened

21:24

is they were planning on writing an article on

21:26

prostate cancer. They maybe went to the clinic and

21:28

was like, hey, we're trying to do this. They're

21:31

like, maybe ask for ... Do you have

21:33

a certain patient who would be a good

21:35

spokesperson or whatever? They're

21:37

like, Ron. Yup, there he is. There he

21:39

is. Then he just also happens to be

21:41

YouTube famous and have all this footage as

21:43

well and just have an interesting story. America's

21:46

grandpa. I love when they had

21:49

Ron Schmidt and then it had the quotations,

21:51

grandpa Ron Schmidt. I love when they put

21:53

Ron. Yeah, that was funny. I

21:56

literally burst out. I don't know

21:58

if it was laughing or in shock. when he

22:00

said, yep, and when he's done with treatment, he

22:02

wants to go skiing behind the world's fastest pontoon.

22:04

I know, I know, I called him, I was

22:06

like, dude, come on. You can't just go around

22:08

saying that kind of stuff. Now you got to

22:10

do it. Yeah. After he completes his treatment, grandpa

22:12

Ron says he wants to be the oldest man

22:14

to go water skiing behind the world's fastest pontoon

22:16

in August. Well, so he was saying that to

22:18

me when I, when I talked to him last

22:20

week, when he was asking if they could use

22:22

the footage. And I was like, you know, I

22:24

kind of just brushed it off because I don't

22:27

really want him doing that. I

22:29

was like, yeah, grandpa. Yeah, we can talk about

22:31

that. Just hoping that it would kind

22:33

of just end there. And then he says it on the news

22:35

and I'm like, dude,

22:39

we're actually going to have to do this now. You

22:41

can eat shit water skiing. You're

22:44

going pretty fast. Yeah. Just not

22:47

seems unnecessary. And let alone, why do you need the

22:49

world's fastest pontoon? You're not going to be going full

22:51

speed. Exactly. That's the one

22:53

left that in, no, not just behind

22:55

a pontoon. The world's with his grandkids

22:57

behind the world's fastest pontoon. You know,

22:59

I was watching the news and watching

23:02

the segment play out and I was

23:04

like, oh, this is great. And

23:06

then they show him eating shit on the

23:08

bowling. And I go, the

23:11

news just had to do that. Didn't they? I'm

23:13

just curious how they knew to find that footage

23:15

because unless he mentioned it to him, because it's

23:18

not like that's labeled in a video. Like he

23:20

would have had to go to a video that

23:22

doesn't have anything to do with grandpa. Right. Out

23:24

of like 500 videos, you have them go to

23:26

the back and he must have mentioned it. Knowing

23:29

him, he knows, he knows every single video that

23:31

he's a star in. Oh, yeah, dude, though. I

23:33

was like, you really had to

23:35

mention that one out of all the things

23:37

that we've done with grandpa. Ron, you got

23:39

to go. If he's not playing golf, he's

23:41

out blind man bowling. Faking

23:44

me in blind. Yeah. To help

23:46

fake. No, I was like, all right. I'm not

23:48

sure if that was necessary. The

23:50

rest of it, the rest of it was good

23:52

because that is also my favorite grandpa. Yeah.

23:55

I mean, we're guilty of always showing it too, but

23:57

it's always like adding context to him being like a

23:59

crazy. Like the guy

24:01

is just off the handles. You never know

24:03

what he's going to do. And that's a

24:05

perfect example of it, right? But as far

24:08

as like the news article of like a

24:10

heartwarming, you know, this guy, this guy is

24:12

like a jump scare in the middle of

24:14

the. Yeah. It was like, that was just

24:16

not tasteful. I know. I was recording it

24:18

just on my phone and then that pops

24:20

up and I'm just like, Ooh, I just

24:22

can't help, but just still go fuck. That's bad.

24:25

That was bad. I mean, the Duke

24:27

can eat a fall like Gavin. Yeah. And it's the

24:29

same thing. And after it happened, we bring him

24:31

back because we're trying to bring him to the

24:33

hospital to just get him checked out. And he

24:35

was like, Evan refusing to go, but he was

24:37

actually like putting down his foot. He was like,

24:39

I'm not going if we're going anywhere, we're going

24:42

to the bar. Yeah. And we were like, well,

24:44

we're not doing that. So I guess

24:46

we'll just bring you home and we bring

24:48

him home. We walk in and we see

24:50

grandma. Grandma just sees it on our face

24:53

immediately of like something happened. And we go,

24:55

he he ate shit like really bad grandma.

24:57

And her first person wine, her first words

24:59

are, well, he's pretty tough.

25:01

Yeah. And I was like, no, grandma, you

25:03

don't understand how hard he fell. And she's

25:05

like, I don't think you

25:07

understand how tough he is to be fair.

25:09

I mean, yeah, he never did complain about

25:11

it like a rock. Exactly. So he knows

25:14

how to take a fall. But I'd like

25:16

to talk a little bit about last video.

25:18

For one, you mentioned Evans back. Yeah. Like,

25:20

dude, that guy. So he injured

25:22

it on the sand rail. He is actually

25:24

gradually getting better. He's been going to the

25:26

chiropractor. You can see him getting better as

25:28

he goes. And he said literally he went

25:30

there, felt like shit. And he like noticeably

25:32

feels better after leaving. But we still went

25:34

to go get him X-ray just because the

25:36

chiropractor actually suggested just to double check

25:39

just to make sure. Because like he

25:41

was seriously like, he was hobbling. Laid

25:43

up. He was walking around over. Yeah.

25:46

And then the freaking little toy car

25:48

in his hinder. So

25:50

good. That's something else. So he thought

25:53

that we were going to do like a X-ray

25:55

and then Photoshop a really small penis

25:57

in there because like sometimes an X-rays.

26:00

But you couldn't put that on YouTube that was

26:02

the initial plan. Yeah, so we settled with toy

26:04

car Yeah, we were an actual debate. We were

26:06

going back and forth with well. We were fucking

26:08

with my go Man, I hope your x-ray doesn't

26:10

show your little dick and all this stuff and

26:12

he's like oh my god He already knew where

26:14

he thought that's where it was going and then

26:16

just a toy car up there And it

26:18

was funny. They got it out and they found out

26:20

that it was a sip Honda Civic. Oh One

26:25

Cummins or something yeah, I know Gavin was

26:27

here during Still

26:30

a Honda though After

26:35

it Evan goes well,

26:37

maybe I could shove a tow truck up there Yeah

26:41

after Evan we lead the sandrail, you know, it's

26:43

like weird to throw your back out It can

26:46

happen on anything and that's what it happened on

26:48

and he was like Bedridden aka

26:50

we're out in the mud and he's just

26:52

laying on the ground Yeah for the next

26:54

hour while we're filming can I were mobbing

26:56

our Broncos around I let him

26:58

I did too I-legitimate cuz he's wearing

27:01

brown overalls laying on the ground all

27:03

money Mad

27:05

he would be actually like you got yeah, he wouldn't

27:07

take it wouldn't take him out. You just be fucking

27:09

pissed Mike's

27:17

got a bent rim It

27:23

just looks like another clump of mud yeah Yeah,

27:27

that's really bad the wheelie trainer Oh,

27:30

yeah a lot of comments about the wheelie

27:32

trainer people are loving that and they want

27:34

one of their own I think it'd be

27:36

great. That'd be something for us. You two

27:38

really have a passion for it So like

27:41

I mean you're like we really got to

27:43

sell these things Well, the thing about it

27:45

was making a ton of money on them.

27:47

Obviously, that's not what it's about It's about

27:49

training people giving people the gift of a

27:51

wheel. Yeah. Yeah So the thing about it

27:53

though is we got scammed three times trying

27:55

to buy one Yeah, like there is no

27:58

company out there that makes one that Actually

28:00

will deliver it you got scammed like where

28:02

you paid them money. Yeah, Ken We need

28:04

to get that money back. Can you refund

28:06

that on the credit card or make dispute

28:08

it? I mean, yeah, just let me know

28:10

dispute. Yeah Well, it happened three times like

28:12

I got quite a bit of shit for

28:15

my whole saran deal Which was pretty stupid,

28:17

but you got scam three times Spending

28:21

total trying to buy one. I don't five

28:23

six grand Well, we're

28:25

trying to make this video Obviously

28:28

you think one of them like the first you know,

28:30

one of them's got to work But like did you

28:32

pull the trig on the second one before you

28:34

knew the first one was a scam No, first

28:36

one probably was wondering how that happened. I don't

28:39

know the context of it. You got a good

28:41

point You got a good okay. It's a valid

28:43

argument, especially when you bring your sir on Three

28:47

times as an exaggeration. The first one was

28:49

like a legit It looked great. The site

28:51

looked legit and I ordered it

28:54

Said it was it said it would be here

28:56

in seven to ten days I'm like perfect you

28:59

guys would be ready to roll on this video

29:01

whatever it was ordered like in April Yeah, still

29:03

never came and then I was like fuck what

29:05

the hell that maybe well Maybe it's gonna come

29:07

but customer service wasn't working. I'm calling them emailing

29:10

couldn't get anything start looking at other options that

29:12

people that build The same thing and is typically

29:14

just like some sketchy bike life guy on Instagram

29:16

you DM Um, it was a Venmo type of

29:18

situation didn't send him any money This is kind

29:21

of like this. I mean, I'm sure they'd probably

29:23

do it But big wrench and Gavin said they

29:25

could build it in like two days So

29:28

that's what we ended up doing but it's on

29:30

the first one that you found that you did

29:32

pay for and never came Well, that one's it's

29:34

just great. Yeah, that was like you're showing to

29:36

me. I'm like, wow, you know It's got the

29:38

adjustable whatever and it's got the swivel wheel and

29:40

it was just six seeing big wrench and Gavin

29:42

being able to look at That and they recreated

29:44

it like yeah tea and I mean I've been

29:46

vocal about it from the start I don't see

29:48

how you guys don't think that we could sell

29:50

that many of them I'm not worried about how

29:52

many we could sell. I just not trying to

29:54

jam up big wrench and Gavin. No, no, no

29:56

No, you would have a different like an actual

29:59

manufacturing Let's do it then. Manufacture them at

30:01

scale with correct equipment that they're laser cutting

30:03

all these pieces and every single one is

30:06

identical. And yeah, you're not going to sell

30:08

as many of them as t-shirts or whatever,

30:10

but there is definitely a demand for them.

30:12

And if you can set the price right,

30:14

not price gouges people, obviously it's going to

30:16

be expensive to build and whatever. So they're

30:18

not going to be like cheap. The competitors

30:20

are selling them at like two grand. That's

30:23

how much one costs or two or three grand. I mean,

30:25

I think if you could do 1500 or even a thousand

30:27

thousand sounds a lot better, but who

30:31

knows how much you'd have into it. I

30:33

just think you could sell them. I mean, you saw

30:35

how well it worked. Yeah. People blown

30:37

out after that. What? How?

30:40

I got to go to the chiropractor. Dude. Hey,

30:43

you wrote it down to the ground. Picture

30:45

how blowed out it would be if that

30:47

didn't exist. But it's

30:49

been hurting for a couple of days now. Really?

30:51

So that was a prototype. We'll obviously need

30:53

to do a bigger pad. Yeah. Wrong time

30:55

for that plug. Bigger. I

30:59

think no, seriously, so many people are interested

31:01

in learning how to wheelie, but they don't

31:03

want to skid their back off. I did

31:05

tell you, Ken, whatever you do,

31:08

don't let go of the handlebars. And

31:10

I did. Why? You

31:12

were popping some wheelies. You were at 12 o'clock

31:14

at one point. It felt cool until it was

31:16

like too far and it was like, I can't

31:18

save this. Well, that's the beauty part of it.

31:20

You don't need to save it. Yeah, I know.

31:23

And then I'm on my back getting dragged across.

31:27

Can I I got to just tip my hat?

31:29

You still did it. And

31:31

I can honestly say this. You would never

31:33

do a wheelie like without that. No, no,

31:35

I probably would never do one without that

31:38

at all. So I got to I got to

31:40

just say I was pretty impressed to see you out there

31:43

hanging 12. Yeah, even though it was

31:45

only a couple of seconds. But still, I always

31:47

a sight that I never thought I'd see. As

31:49

I would say, it was Cheeto, but I did.

31:51

I don't think it was, dude. No, I know.

31:53

What if Evan got addicted to the wheelie machine?

31:55

I can dance on the seat. It's great. But

31:58

no, for you, like think about how good he. could

32:00

actually get at wheeling where you can like work out

32:02

those details of it and then changing

32:05

the full front tire on it. It's like a

32:07

sim. It's like a sim racer for like, you

32:09

know, even a really anyone. Yeah. No

32:11

matter what your skill is, you could still learn something from it. But

32:14

if you guys watch the video, Ken

32:16

before he fell off the back did

32:18

amazing. Like you went 12, you pressed

32:20

the back brake. And I think the

32:22

beautiful thing about it is that it

32:24

shows someone what the balance point feels

32:26

like. That's what I think. I mean,

32:28

that's what everyone's not chasing it. Yeah. Like

32:31

our film or Dalton, he's ridden dirt bikes before a

32:33

lot and he was kind of in the power wheeled

32:35

crew and he's like, Oh, that's what the balance point

32:37

feels like. Makes wheeling so much easier. So much easier.

32:39

But it's scary to find, especially on a big bike.

32:41

But if you're on like a little pit bike, finding

32:44

the balance point is way easier because you're going like,

32:46

you know, 15 miles per hour. You

32:49

know, you're not going to eat pavement quite as far.

32:52

Slam. What comes to mind when you

32:54

picture the perfect roommate, one who comes and he called

32:57

one who doesn't forget to lock the doors. Maybe

32:59

one who doesn't steal your milk just a little bit

33:01

at a time hoping that you won't notice at

33:52

Thanks apartments.com for sponsoring the podcast. But

33:55

yeah, like me and CJ, when we used to

33:57

wheelie back in the day, like you're just power

33:59

wheeling and you're just chasing. Like you constantly just like

34:01

run in the front tire down. Yeah, you know

34:03

you're going 70 I get to give

34:05

you a little more credit and one thing that

34:07

you did forget to mention is that at least

34:09

on a Four-stroke there's some engine braking and that's

34:11

where you guys finesse that you were yeah Because

34:13

you could stand up wheelie for like honestly as

34:15

long as you had a road for so like

34:17

there is some engine braking And then you obviously

34:20

eventually chase it out. Yeah, if you like you

34:22

guys are underselling yourselves a little bit It

34:30

was just like you'd get to this point and

34:32

you'd kind of just hold it like you'd just

34:34

be like idling I shit so hard back in

34:36

the day Do you guys remember when I was

34:38

riding the 150 my 150 and I

34:40

went over backwards over by over by Jake's

34:42

mom? Yeah, that was bad. That's

34:44

the thing when I went through it It

34:46

was a jacket sweatshirt t-shirt and then into

34:48

my skin and I'm still scarred like on

34:50

my shoulder from it But it just road

34:52

rash. Yeah, Ken didn't even care about road

34:54

rash. He was out there in those little

34:56

shorts Yeah, he had the wheelie train It's

34:59

just funny when you bring up like a

35:01

wheelie simulator feel like simulators are getting crazy

35:03

and everything obviously There's driving and flying and

35:05

all that but now with VR dude. Look

35:07

at this you can Simulate

35:10

working on an engine. Oh, yeah, I've

35:12

seen this and it's like it's all

35:15

Extremely realistic bro. If you guys need an engine

35:17

to work on we got plenty of broken shit.

35:19

Come on over and you can work Yep,

35:23

no experience needed You

35:25

don't even need to have any VR training That's

35:27

the beauty of this is like there's no way I'm gonna

35:29

like if even if I had all the time in the

35:31

world Like I can't just like take an engine. Can you

35:33

imagine? Yeah, I'll get it back together But

35:36

I mean again if I had all the time in

35:38

the world, maybe I don't think I would do this

35:40

But like at least you could learn something. I'm sure

35:42

it trains people They could I could see them using

35:44

it like tech schools or something But yeah, you learn

35:46

a lot better just literally work doing something. They'd have

35:48

those Just imagine Gavin doing

35:51

like a full day of wrenching here

36:00

Being a farmer and playing farm simulator, I don't

36:02

think it happens, but it would be crazy. I

36:04

love the comments. Little kid holding flashlights.

36:07

That's funny. That's so funny. Did

36:10

you guys have that, like, growing up

36:12

holding the flashlight for your dad? And

36:14

just constantly like, hey, over here. My

36:17

dad would literally call me the gopher. Is

36:19

it possible to lose the 10 millimeter for

36:21

ultimate immersion? I was actually looking at that.

36:23

Can you drop a tool and, like, lose

36:25

it? So circling back towards Justin, Justin prior

36:28

to working here was an

36:30

electrical engineer at a

36:32

company. He went to school for it, did the

36:34

whole things. And I saw this, uh, this

36:37

reel where this guy

36:39

created this kind of

36:41

like a Jarvis type machine. And

36:43

Justin is always doing what we

36:45

would call big brain activities. He's always big brain

36:47

things. And look how sick this is, dude. So

36:50

it uses chat, B T GPT. And

36:54

then it like it scans

36:57

golf clubs and like knows what they are

36:59

and what he wants to do to it.

37:01

Let me go in farther

37:03

here. I love that people

37:06

are actually using this AI stuff for like something

37:08

cool. How come every time there's a computer, like

37:10

a voice you're talking to, they name it Jarvis.

37:12

It's kind of Ironman. Okay.

37:16

Yeah. But even, even in

37:18

like the bench warmers, it was Jarvis.

37:20

Jarvis. I think they talked to

37:22

like the house. Was it Jarvis and like Richie

37:24

rich or whatever? There's a lot of Jarvis started

37:26

out as a Butler name. Jarvis.

37:29

And then he just like, yes, sir.

37:31

Interesting. I have this one kind

37:33

of a dumb bitch on my phone named Siri. So

37:35

they're not all named. Yeah. Do

37:38

you guys use series of dumb

37:40

bitch? Do ever, ever works over.

37:42

I guarantee you. Watch this. Watch

37:45

this. Hey Siri. Well, nothing.

37:47

I have that turned off because that shit's annoying. No,

37:49

I might just doesn't listen. See Siri and mine.

37:53

Like he's asking this thing. I know he has a

37:55

setup. Yeah. He's asking it to do all

37:57

this stuff and like, yeah, just build me this. And I'll, all I'm is.

38:00

asking Siri to do is make

38:02

me a reminder for my haircut appointment

38:04

on Thursday. And don't forget to actually

38:06

remind me and then she'll just put

38:08

it in my to-do list and then

38:10

it just never reminds me. My

38:13

grandma uses Siri like religiously. Like

38:15

if we're sitting here and we're like, wow, I

38:17

wonder how many gallons fall through the Hoover dam.

38:19

She'd go, Hey Siri, how much like I said

38:22

type in because you know, it's easier for her

38:24

to speak. No old people love it. Cause they're

38:26

just not super quick with the typing. Most of

38:28

the time. Every time that I try and use

38:31

Siri or even type text, Oh

38:34

yeah. Talk to text. It always messes

38:36

it up so bad. I'm usually driving

38:38

when I'm doing it and I have

38:40

to like, then take my time to delete

38:42

it and then try to do it again. I'm

38:45

like, Oh my God, this is not working at

38:47

all. Do you run like car play when you

38:49

have your phone in your car? Yeah. Okay. So

38:51

that's another thing that I noticed. If, if you're

38:54

talking to your phone and you talk to texts,

38:56

it's pretty accurate. At least in my experience is

38:58

pretty accurate. But if you're in your car, it

39:01

goes through the mic. Oh, it's too much

39:03

back. I'm like, Oh, that's just not working the car. And

39:05

then I'm like, let me try yelling. So I'm like, I'm

39:08

on my way. And then it starts

39:10

typing it all. Perfect. I'm like, I look

39:12

like such a idiot. Back down. It's

39:18

just the mics and the Broncos are so bad

39:20

because it's so windy in there. They're just

39:22

focused more. So on performance when they build those

39:24

vehicles. Another thing I got to get off my

39:27

chest is Ryan was scrubbing through that video.

39:29

Quite literally not scrubbing because Instagram

39:31

took away the scrub feature. And

39:33

in my opinion, makes the app

39:35

way more trash. It makes

39:37

them more money. I'm sure more engagement, long, like

39:39

you just have to sit there and watch it

39:41

again. A minute long video, or maybe that was

39:43

even longer. You can't scrub through it. And then

39:45

there's the part that you want to watch again.

39:47

Like how dumb, why did they get frustrated? I

39:49

did notice that I wasn't sure if my phone

39:51

was just glitching. Yeah, you can't on the bottom.

39:53

My phone only does it on videos that are

39:55

over a minute. Mine only does

39:57

it on videos that are over three minutes. And at that point.

40:00

Definitely should roll past it. What you

40:02

guys put that on YouTube phone time. Oh

40:04

no this again Oh, I'm

40:06

not gonna lie mine is gonna be Horrendous

40:09

because lately I've been watching king of the hill

40:11

and so I set it up and then I

40:13

fall asleep But instead of turning it off I

40:15

just hit my phone down and then move my

40:17

head on the pillow and the air pod falls out and

40:19

I deal with it In the morning, so

40:22

it's gonna. How do you find it? Just

40:24

search screen time. Hey Siri finally You

40:27

were messing up everybody at home Hey

40:31

Alexa, you're welcome. Holy shit.

40:33

I spent a lot of time mine

40:35

is almost double years. Oh shit. Yeah,

40:37

I have seven hours 48 minutes What

40:41

do you have Ken two hours 56 minutes What's

40:45

for the week? What

40:54

are you doing don't that's what you're doing in your office

40:57

You know does yours include your computer? No

41:00

computer separate how is that even possible

41:02

are you done wake Dalton's texting his

41:05

girl hold on a second? How

41:07

do I know cuz like I do watch

41:09

a lot of video mines all from watching

41:11

podcasts on YouTube? Yeah, cuz like I have

41:13

eight hours of being on max. That's just

41:16

when I fell asleep I

41:18

mean I got six hours and 50 minutes and

41:20

even if that is a little bit skewed by

41:22

falling asleep Which looks like at least an hour

41:24

or two. What was yours Mike four hours

41:26

and 55 and what's yours

41:28

Ben? 430 us three are really in the

41:30

same boat. What are you Ryan? Seven

41:32

hours. Holy shit, but if you look at

41:34

the thing it's it's seven hours, and it's

41:37

down 150 percent from last week That's

41:40

that's good. What does mine up 150? Oh cuz

41:42

I started falling asleep to it

41:44

Yeah, so it's it is skewed, but yeah like mine

41:47

says up 9% from last week It's

41:49

one of those many things like you don't actually want to

41:51

do the math on it cuz and you start looking at

41:53

you go Dang, how many pickups do you guys have and

41:56

that's a thing. I only have one pickup. Yeah, it's a

41:58

quarter after 94

42:01

today, holy shit. You're gonna pick up daily

42:03

averages 309 pickups. Mine's 192 169

42:08

is 50. Damn. So Ken when you're You're

42:12

really just ignoring Are

42:17

you on your Apple watch though, no, I don't have I never

42:19

wear that I lost it actually No,

42:21

I found it in my car because it was

42:23

under one of the seats and it's just dead I

42:25

gotta say I'm pretty surprised by that Ken Used

42:28

to give you so much crap for all the scroll. Yeah You

42:32

just call them scrolls Some

42:35

people can change over time I

42:37

guess so actually I

42:39

had 150 pickups. This is

42:41

a big personal growth moment Phone

42:48

down get outside and ride a dirt bike Learn

42:51

how to wheelie maybe like my phone just does

42:53

everything in scheduled summary So it's like it just

42:55

summarizes every few hours. How do you do that?

42:59

Then it's not like a constant ding ding ding. It's

43:01

like yeah, it's like here's a summary Shopify

43:05

orders and all that like the best

43:07

for urgent stuff, but other than that

43:10

amazing Yeah, can you push us through so

43:12

like our text that matter? I

43:17

don't even waste my time texting him. So I changed

43:19

that on my phone We're now like if any of

43:21

you guys call sorry mark, I don't know if you're

43:24

on this but I'll get you on it It

43:26

rings we're like other Yeah,

43:29

it's like an emergency bypass, right?

43:32

Yeah, and I grabbed Evan. I

43:34

was like, hey Evan Let me see your phone and

43:36

he's like what? Yeah, he probably didn't like that No,

43:38

and I was like, I'm gonna turn it on so

43:40

when when I call it rings so I can get

43:42

through to you You know, like I'm not gonna call

43:44

you on Friday afternoon to talk about, you know You're

43:47

weak because you were here, you know, like I'm gonna

43:49

call you with something important So like you can go

43:51

through the uh, no, no, I'll just do it later

43:53

I go, I know you don't know how like

43:55

I'll just do it quick for you buddy. Like let's do it together. He's

43:57

like no We'll do a little later

44:00

and he ran away. Just got to FaceTime him. Then it

44:02

always goes through. He had like every number blocked. I don't

44:04

know. He said he gets like 150 calls a week or

44:06

maybe a day or

44:10

something like crazy numbers. Yeah.

44:13

And so obviously if it was Ken saying that,

44:15

I'd be like, well, yeah, we put his phone

44:17

number on a billboard. Like no, no joke. It

44:19

got, it got leaked. But for Evan,

44:22

I was like, well, we haven't done anything with

44:24

you. So I don't know who's calling you unless

44:26

he's just a part of some like scam program

44:28

that's like hit this guy gambling help hotline or

44:30

something like that. But it's not a help. It's

44:32

just like people that call each other when they

44:34

want to go gamble. You guys watch this video.

44:36

I just saw an Instagram. It's of a bull.

44:39

Oh yeah. I saw this dude. Just

44:41

watch. Oh no. So

44:43

this is like the national anthem or

44:46

everyone's, uh, you know, getting ready, fired

44:48

up. Oh boy. Shit. Just wait. Yeah.

44:50

He don't wear red. Don't

44:53

wear red.

44:56

Oh, Johnny Knoxville about that thing.

44:58

Do is this one? All right, dude, I don't

45:00

know. I don't know. I can't imagine

45:02

that was good. Man. So many people had

45:04

this on there. He just goes and starts

45:06

fucking people up. I think I

45:09

already hide from a bull in a white

45:11

t-shirt. I think just in a black t-shirt

45:13

or just run. Like you got to do

45:15

circles. I was so confused, but like, look

45:17

at this. Like they don't even move. Bro.

45:19

He tripled after they're just watching. Yeah. They're

45:24

like, I think they're, they just turn around.

45:26

You don't expect to have a fucking bull

45:28

run up. Everyone has so

45:30

much to say about this, but like really,

45:32

she was, she and her crew

45:34

was Larry at probably, yeah. You weren't paying

45:37

attention. She's like, dude, I didn't have that

45:39

much to drink. You're not standing in the

45:41

middle of the ring, but one thing, if

45:44

a bull's ever chasing you, not that

45:46

I've had to deal with it, Ryan should be the one

45:49

telling us really you're supposed to go side to side or

45:51

like, you know, like if you run straight, you're,

45:53

cause it's faster than you. Well, no, I

45:55

mean, you just have better

45:58

odds going, not getting running in like

46:00

zigzag. Or going you know go left

46:02

or right turns do turns because they

46:04

like running straight Interesting what slows

46:06

them down is when you start fucking turning because he's

46:08

charging you it's like yeah It's like you got to

46:10

run a slant in Matt Like

46:13

in Madden you just can't beat the juke circles

46:16

I guess that makes sense if it starts

46:18

getting close to you almost like circle back

46:21

around it and then keep going Yeah, don't

46:23

wear red to the radio Yeah, that's probably

46:25

the best thing to take away from that

46:27

video fuck was she yeah Yeah, man, I

46:29

guess you don't expect for a loose bow How

46:31

common is that though like how many times does

46:34

that happen where the bold jump out? Solidly

46:37

yeah, I mean that was that really

46:39

bad. What's a bunch out there like

46:41

bad ideas Okay, so you got wearing

46:44

red to the rodeo. Yes. You got

46:46

walking in your dentist holding

46:48

a Pop yeah eating

46:50

candy. It's a bad idea

46:52

taking your driver's test with

46:54

a beer in your hand I

47:01

heard one yesterday where this guy said that

47:03

he failed his driver's test

47:06

might read Ed Sheeran because he Picked

47:09

up the phone when when he

47:12

was driving. Well, what was he thinking? I

47:14

said I'm signing mine Did

47:16

you really go past all the

47:19

way through but just you know like farther than

47:21

you were supposed to in the winter Yeah, I

47:23

did the opposite. I stopped and there wasn't a

47:25

stop sign. Oh Have

47:29

you guys seen the new trend raw

47:33

dogging a flight I

47:39

think some of the guys are taking too far raw

47:41

dogging a flight on a base

47:43

level would be like no headphones No,

47:46

no phone. No movies on

47:48

your iPad. No book like just nothing

47:50

you just sit there No, you watch

47:52

the flight thing and yeah, that's it

47:54

But then guys are taking it to

47:56

another level there like just raw dog

47:58

did an eight-hour flight No water,

48:00

no snacks, no nothing. Like

48:03

a fast. Yeah. And then I don't

48:06

know if they're actually doing that. Pretty funny though. And then

48:08

some dude, I saw a meme that was like, just

48:11

raw dog, 15 minute drive to

48:13

the liquor store. No

48:15

music, no beer. There

48:18

is nothing quite more mind

48:20

clearing than raw dogging a drive though. Where

48:22

you just like, Oh yeah. Where you have

48:24

no music on and then just like kind

48:26

of the background noise of driving down the

48:28

road. And then you just like, dude, it's

48:30

amazing. The things that you'll think about. Yeah.

48:33

But I always hate when some of those

48:35

drives all get done and then be like,

48:37

what did I even think about? Maybe that

48:39

there's some beauty in that, maybe not. But

48:41

then sometimes when I consciously try

48:43

to think and then think about how I want

48:45

to remember what I'm thinking about later and still

48:47

don't remember about it. Yeah. You got to write

48:49

them down in the notes. I bet I think

48:51

of half of like the video ideas that I

48:53

come up with driving. Really? Yeah. And

48:56

I will always either put them in my notes or

48:59

text them to CJ if they're surprises or

49:01

things like that. And that's where my Siri comes into

49:03

play or my talk to text. And then I'm like,

49:06

no. I'm like backtracking. Because it's like a big thot

49:08

that you need to get out. I'm like trying to

49:10

get it done. And then half the time it probably

49:12

comes across as like makes no sense. You

49:14

ever watched the Lincoln lawyer? No. That's

49:17

the whole basis of that show or not the whole

49:19

basis, but it's a lawyer who can only think effectively

49:21

when he's driving in a car. Really? Yeah.

49:24

Really. So what's he do when he's in court? He

49:26

just pulls his Lincoln all the way into the courtroom. Of

49:29

course he drives a Lincoln. Yeah. What

49:31

do you guys think you listen to more

49:34

in the car nowadays, podcasts or music? I

49:36

always used to make fun of my dad

49:38

as I got older or in my younger

49:40

years, because he would listen to the radio.

49:42

I go, who in their right mind is

49:44

listening to the radio? And now I

49:46

would say for like 90% of the time, I

49:48

either do podcasts if it's a long drive.

49:51

And if it's a short drive radio, and

49:53

if not radio, nothing. I thought you were just

49:55

gonna say, I only listen to the radio. We

49:57

lost him boys. Yeah. Why is that?

50:00

Did I listen to the radio? Yeah, I

50:02

think it's sometimes just a pain to find music

50:04

and the radio is normally awful music But at

50:06

least it's on you don't have to connect your

50:08

phone. You don't have to pull your phone out

50:11

if you're driving I do the same thing just

50:13

it's either that or nothing But if I'm gonna

50:15

go for like a drive to the gym throw

50:17

on a pot on a podcast You're dating a

50:19

little personal DJ too. Like that has I don't

50:21

have to think about music. No, you don't she's

50:23

normal size though I

50:30

was gonna say this when you were talking about how raw

50:32

dog and thinking of whatever the drive

50:34

like pot It's such an interesting way

50:37

to say like yeah, you're not doing

50:39

any But a podcast kind

50:41

of ruined like my love for listening to music

50:43

because before there was a time I was just

50:45

it was either music or nothing and now and

50:47

it was hard music And

50:53

I don't do that nearly as much but if

50:55

I like am NOT in the mood for a podcast I'm

50:58

still like hi. Yeah, I'd like

51:00

to listen to a podcast I definitely don't want to

51:02

listen to music right now though And I'm like when

51:04

when do I ever say that like yeah weird to

51:06

say like do you still listen to like hard hard

51:08

EDM? I hear in Justin's office sometimes. Yeah,

51:10

I'm in there. It's like I still get a lot of

51:13

it Marks

51:21

in the back like damn that actually went kind

51:23

of hard dude. I can't get away from it

51:25

even with like Podcasts I

51:28

still listen probably 20% podcasts 80%

51:30

music and it's not all just

51:32

mayhem music Justin You got to get the

51:34

subs back in the truck dude. So

51:36

just Justin had a BMW What

51:38

was your BMW? It was a BMW

51:41

325 XI God that thing was awesome

51:43

and falling apart by the dude because

51:45

of your subs Yeah, that thing that

51:48

didn't have a tight bolt left on

51:51

And then you have what 212? Yeah, it was two

51:53

Two sundown SA 12s and like a 3500 watt-air amplifier

52:00

or something like that. Those subs are actually in the

52:02

boat. Are they still running? I believe they both

52:05

are new because they've independently quit. And then I

52:07

buy a new one of the same thing. But

52:09

the am still going. Program on those things. Yeah.

52:12

Uh, Jake actually for a stint before the boat

52:14

put them in his mom's outback and like, had

52:16

he left them in there as long as Justin

52:19

left them in his BMW also would have rattled

52:21

that apart. How's the boat

52:23

doing then? Yeah, it's okay. When you turn

52:25

it up, the side of the hull flexes

52:27

so hard. The water like bubbles

52:30

on the out. Yeah. That's like that

52:32

is off. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't realize probably

52:34

how annoying it was until there

52:36

was another boat out on the lake that

52:38

like has a decent speaker system and you

52:40

can hear the bass like in your house.

52:43

And I was like, damn, our setup was quite

52:45

a bit better than that. Yeah, dude,

52:47

it was with your boat and the subs.

52:50

The only time I didn't like it is when I

52:53

happened to be sitting above them. Oh yeah. That

52:55

was just miserable. Yeah. Cause you got a pack

52:57

boat. There's nowhere else to go. Yeah. It just

52:59

shakes. You got to take it. Yeah. But now

53:01

we, now we turn them down. We've matured. The

53:03

thing about the boat though is it's

53:05

a open space. Yeah. Right. But

53:07

with Justin's BMW, for example, is

53:09

it's just such a confined area,

53:12

you know? So like you feel

53:14

the air next to your head

53:16

shaking. Yeah. Like you feel every

53:18

single of the

53:21

sub like in your chest and your

53:23

hair and your face and like everything

53:25

about it. It was like such a

53:27

experience that only should last like 30

53:30

seconds. Oh yeah. I had

53:32

no business driving to school every day with those

53:34

going full volume. I was going to say, so

53:36

like that was just when like the homies were

53:38

rolling with you. But were you rocking that when

53:41

you were Rod dog in it? The

53:44

Rod dog that I had then was I would

53:46

just sit and no music on it. It would

53:48

just be the amplifier static and the subs would

53:50

still be firing. And I was like, Oh my

53:52

God. Just to feel something. Yes. You could like

53:54

fold down part of the backseat in that car

53:56

and I cut out the foam in the

53:59

back seat. So that I could fold it

54:01

down it would be all the way open to the trunk and

54:03

I could float a piece of paper In

54:05

my driver side window as the subs were

54:07

going because it would just like move so much air

54:09

And it would just sit there mark is like hell

54:11

Yeah, and the back marks and on the couch back

54:13

there. Did you have a concrete floor in your car?

54:16

Yeah, you put a concrete floor in because

54:18

it like to flex is the end like

54:21

see you last bulletproof windshield Levels to it

54:23

all it's dude Mark's done. He's lived a

54:25

lot of life. Yeah, you're set up would

54:27

would put four 15s Oh

54:30

my god, I'm just trying to put myself in

54:32

that position where that would be so it really

54:34

be about it If

54:36

you at the age of whatever you would

54:38

have been when mark had that your granola

54:41

ass would have disintegrated Imagine

54:45

you were like saving up for each sub

54:47

at that point though where you're like All

54:49

right, just made an extra 200 bucks buying

54:51

another sub that is insane. Did taint have

54:53

that too? Something

54:59

to be said is that so many cars

55:01

there their stereos aren't very easy to replace

55:03

so that makes it more difficult But like

55:05

they come with the factory sub whether it's

55:07

shitty and tiny or decent But

55:10

you're not gonna like pay a bunch of

55:12

money to then replace that sub Most

55:15

the time it's for the cars. It just have

55:17

no base whatsoever, which in my opinion is a

55:19

horrible experience Yes, I'd agree you call me a

55:22

granola ass. I just called

55:24

you a granola Like

55:29

why would he disintegrate just cuz he was so

55:31

small yeah, just he's real. Yeah, he had no

55:33

gluten in him and Nothing

55:36

hold them together. There was actually a couple comments

55:38

that was like Mike's gotta throw it back Ben's

55:41

being hard on Mike this episode I think it

55:43

was when he was talking about maybe you almost

55:45

burning your house down Mike's gotta throw it back

55:50

The people will be glad to hear you did Everybody

55:53

likes a little bit of controversy or

55:55

this and that which we don't have

55:57

a ton of around controversy sells it

55:59

does Like and we really don't we

56:01

get along a little too well

56:03

so we don't see it much So we might

56:05

have to change something about that No,

56:09

fish granola Beach

56:12

I know love and granola ass

56:14

granola It's more along the

56:16

lines of just not always just being like

56:18

on the exact same page Like at some

56:20

point you gotta disagree or argue or throw

56:23

a shot just to make things a little

56:26

Yeah, a little spicy people love it when

56:28

we make fun of each other which we

56:30

just do naturally But like if we cut

56:32

all that out a lot of like the

56:34

funniness like people just love to dry people

56:36

love it We fight like brothers space He's

56:38

like when people say like do you ever

56:41

get knock it along ago? Yeah, kind of

56:43

like brothers like you all know whatever you're

56:45

doing like we all do it with each

56:47

other's best intentions of mine But we are

56:49

with each other all the time. So we

56:51

get on each other's nerves. I'm know

56:53

I'm guilty of it It's funny one time. I was hanging

56:55

out with my other friends like my college friends And

56:58

I was with him for a whole weekend

57:00

and nobody said any like mean things about

57:06

Holy shit, this is a positive environment Driving

57:09

nuts if no one's talking shit for a whole

57:12

weekend. I would lose my mind. What do we

57:14

say? I messed up and no one

57:16

called me an idiot Yeah,

57:19

that was strange Self-confidence was through

57:21

the yeah, I didn't get completely

57:23

crucified when I dropped that that thing.

57:25

Yeah Actually told me it

57:28

was gonna be okay I

57:32

Figured they had have been messing with me and something big

57:34

was coming but If

57:36

I'm being a little whiny bitch I

57:41

Get called out but also like if it's your

57:43

significant other you're like, oh I got it. Whatever

57:45

it is I don't know what yet, but I

57:47

gotta do something about it. But for us you're

57:49

like, well, yeah Give them a couple hours and

57:52

then we'll just get over it. Yeah, just blow

57:54

over Ben's going too hard I'm Micah about his

57:56

hot dog addiction It's

57:59

not a problem It's

58:01

a problem. It's a lifestyle. You're

58:06

going to be on my side, Ken. It's not a problem.

58:08

It's a lie. I thought you were going to say it's

58:10

not a hot dog. It's a bra. If

58:13

there's anything that would be my line, that's my line. So,

58:16

Justin, since we have you here, we'd be remissed to not

58:18

bring up some things of the past. Oh boy. I

58:23

was reflecting the other day about when you edited

58:26

one of our videos. You remember that? Oh my

58:28

God. Yeah. Damn. Do I wish you would have stuck with

58:30

it? I don't know if you do. What

58:35

was it? It was life of a C-boy, right?

58:37

It was one of the... No, that was Mike.

58:39

That was Mike. It was the one edit. Ken

58:41

edited a video too. Ken edited

58:43

a video on his MacBook Air.

58:45

Shut up. What was the

58:47

one that you edited? It's like the third one.

58:51

It was C-boy's TV Summer 16. I thought

58:53

that was Mike. It was more of a

58:55

montage. It was C-boy's TV Summer 16. I

58:59

hate to say it, but it might be

59:01

our least viewed video. It probably is. At

59:03

119,000. They

59:07

were like, well, I'm more interested in Summer 17.

59:11

Had to put a year on it. Yeah, the

59:13

SEO on that video is pretty bad. Ken edited

59:15

a video. He edited the, when Spencer got his

59:17

Silver Mustang. No, it was the Snowmobile one. Yeah.

59:19

It's a winter one. I know that for sure.

59:23

How much stuff? It was the old

59:25

sled gets big air. Really?

59:27

Blenders giveaway. Not bad Ken. 651. He

59:31

left. Where'd he go? The old

59:33

intro. It's like freaking you wonder

59:36

where everyone is and it's like Ryan's

59:38

at work. CJ's at

59:40

work. Justin's

59:43

being a pussy. There's

59:47

no way he edited that because

59:49

they edited cats. I'm

59:51

pretty sure it was the Spencer's Mustang. It

59:56

was the Snowmobile one. We'll see if he remembers. Yeah.

59:59

It was jumping the 370. Do you remember which

1:00:01

video that you edited? I remember it

1:00:03

was a painting asked to upload though Was it

1:00:05

the old snowmobile gets big air? Was it the

1:00:07

jumping the 370? I have no idea You don't

1:00:09

have any any room nothing. I think there's a

1:00:11

couple I did we're gonna have you start getting

1:00:14

back into that Ken Next

1:00:16

week you're gonna add it on top shipping and all

1:00:18

that Super stress

1:00:20

holiday week a

1:00:22

holiday week. Yeah, that's right. We're all gonna be on the

1:00:25

boat So we're gonna have you go back into the editing

1:00:28

Yeah, I can't believe I was even

1:00:30

able to edit that video on the

1:00:32

laptop that I had that laptop had

1:00:34

no business editing anything You're

1:00:38

probably like it's a power You're

1:00:40

for sure. It was good until this one

1:00:42

has six gigs of RAM. It's gonna handle

1:00:45

it great. It was great I

1:00:47

didn't have any problems with it until Jake

1:00:49

put gay corn on On

1:00:52

a Friday and then left it open all

1:00:55

weekend Yeah, did that have something now with

1:00:57

how long it was open for that laptop

1:00:59

ended up dying very soon after Jake messed

1:01:01

with it Yeah, so that's right. Yeah, and

1:01:04

he's gonna post it in Jake

1:01:06

watch that corn on your Well,

1:01:10

he was he was doing it to mess with him

1:01:13

I think it was like a prank and then it

1:01:15

toasted it Yeah, it got so many things But

1:01:18

that's cuz you like windows dude if you were on a Mac

1:01:20

you didn't just find 10

1:01:24

years I'm on Mac now. We how

1:01:26

do you like it? He's fully converted as a

1:01:28

like it do you? Yeah, you'd rather have a

1:01:30

windows if I were to build

1:01:32

like a PC that was gonna be like I

1:01:34

don't know like a crypto mining one or like a

1:01:37

gaming PC then I would want it on Windows,

1:01:39

but I don't know Mac is great for everything that we

1:01:41

do here. You know, you're saying that cuz we gave him

1:01:43

a Mac Once

1:01:45

I got used to it like the key binds and

1:01:48

everything are different, but it's it runs great for that's

1:01:50

a And

1:01:53

it still works awesome. So they last

1:01:55

a long time. I feel

1:01:57

like in that type of deal It's like

1:01:59

Macs are like Mercedes don't really mess with

1:02:01

them. They just they come and they they

1:02:03

are what they are and then

1:02:05

a windows is like a Corvette

1:02:09

or Subaru sure it's just like as it

1:02:12

is it's it works but if you take

1:02:14

all the pieces out of it that it

1:02:16

comes with and Custom make

1:02:18

it to your liking. It's pretty

1:02:20

good rate. Yeah, it seems like and

1:02:22

not nearly as reliable exactly Yeah, and

1:02:25

my experience with Windows computers is like

1:02:27

yeah, they're better probably Right

1:02:30

out the box if you get the

1:02:32

right one, but they don't last as long

1:02:34

Yeah, they seem to only last like two

1:02:36

years, maybe three max Whereas like

1:02:39

a Mac just lasts for a long time Yeah, and

1:02:41

that's I mean in my opinion that's honestly changed here

1:02:43

in the last couple of years like now that Apple

1:02:45

makes all their Own silicon. Sorry. This is getting nerd

1:02:47

shit, but Apple makes all

1:02:49

their own silicon for their chips now and They

1:02:53

function way better than anything else like

1:02:55

they they all perform most things on

1:02:57

the market Silicon do

1:02:59

you want to know like the plastic wrap that

1:03:01

they wrap it in? Yeah, so like they make

1:03:03

the custom No, that's what they

1:03:05

make the Integrated circuits out of

1:03:07

so they have their own Chip that

1:03:09

is their GPU CPU and RAM all in

1:03:12

one chip I believe and it like it's

1:03:14

incredibly efficient, right? I thought that out now

1:03:16

that all the listeners are asleep You

1:03:20

know like Apple's always like they just

1:03:22

like to go iPhone 7 8 9

1:03:25

they're like we went from a 16

1:03:27

chip to the a 17 obviously it's gonna

1:03:29

be better, but I don't know anything about

1:03:31

that stuff So you need to know yeah,

1:03:34

right when you said that you were digging up

1:03:36

some old stories from Justin's past I thought for

1:03:38

sure you were gonna talk about the You

1:03:46

were like referencing that I was like I

1:03:48

think that's blacked out of my memory How

1:03:51

aggressive that was I was like oh man we

1:03:53

were on the phone with them right now was

1:03:55

that all over yeah Yeah, yeah, I was just

1:03:57

thank God. He's on the phone I

1:04:00

don't know what would happen. We would have had to call you

1:04:02

in, Justin. I

1:04:05

don't even remember what the background of it was.

1:04:07

I just remember there being a phone on speakerphone

1:04:10

and you just... That's it.

1:04:12

He didn't even know you were talking to him. Dude, you

1:04:14

were so passionate. Yeah, you didn't know what you were talking

1:04:16

about or who you were talking to, but you were fired

1:04:18

up. Yeah, it was bad. That was really bad. That

1:04:21

was pretty funny. That was funny.

1:04:24

I don't think I could unlock being that mad like

1:04:26

anymore. I don't think I've got that in me anymore.

1:04:29

In context, we were talking to a supplier

1:04:31

that we had worked with for our old...

1:04:34

Well, we just got in this big

1:04:36

jam up and then... Well, because we

1:04:38

were trying to fix it. And maybe

1:04:40

I'm forgetting, but weren't they in some

1:04:43

weird type of personal... It was some

1:04:45

co-hoots. Yeah, there was some weird background

1:04:47

relationship. And we were just getting shafted

1:04:49

on it. Now I'm getting

1:04:51

mad at you. All right, maybe

1:04:54

change the subject. Justin's getting fired up. There's

1:04:56

a couple ounces of whiskey in your tummy.

1:04:59

I don't remember exactly the details of it, but

1:05:02

I remember asking Jake, because I was like, man,

1:05:04

maybe we really overstepped on that one. And I

1:05:06

was like, who's a successful business guy? And how

1:05:08

would they handle it? I was like, hey, Jake,

1:05:10

what would your dad do if that happened to

1:05:13

him? He would have probably hopped in his plane,

1:05:15

flew right to wherever they were at and been

1:05:17

like, what the fuck is this? I was like,

1:05:19

oh, maybe we didn't. But I was like, man,

1:05:21

if you had a plane, then we probably would

1:05:24

have done that. I'm glad we

1:05:26

didn't have a plane. I

1:05:28

think of that in so many things, I'm like, oh,

1:05:30

it's a good thing. This was a slow grow because

1:05:32

there could have been some some mistakes

1:05:34

like that that were just good to make early.

1:05:36

Dude, 100 percent. Yeah, I think we've made so

1:05:38

many mistakes and I'm very happy that we got

1:05:41

them out of the way. Grant, we still make

1:05:43

a mistake every single day. I think back to

1:05:45

how many things that we've done wrong. And there's

1:05:47

no way that you can learn that without just

1:05:49

doing it. Yeah, nobody can teach you that or

1:05:51

tell you that to like how to avoid things

1:05:53

unless you just go through it. That

1:05:56

was just one of them, but because we were

1:05:58

talking about that a couple of podcasts ago. Justin

1:06:01

then texts us the group chat afterwards and

1:06:03

he goes just listen to the podcast kind of

1:06:05

blanking on what? What

1:06:07

story you guys were talking about but I think he's coming

1:06:09

back I just

1:06:12

started sweating in my bed. I'm like Your

1:06:16

voice just kept getting higher Like

1:06:21

yell like what the fuck I

1:06:31

couldn't breathe cuz I was probably so mad that

1:06:33

I was just running out of breath. Yeah We

1:06:36

had to step out I'm

1:06:38

pretty sure I'm scared you all out of the

1:06:40

room. You're like, I think he's handled You

1:06:46

know, it'd be fun is to go back to that

1:06:48

old shop that first shop and just see it Mm-hmm.

1:06:50

I don't know for some reason like I remember a

1:06:53

lot of it But also it's like it never even

1:06:55

happened and we were in there for so long. I

1:06:57

can still feel like Walking on

1:06:59

that carpet and like going

1:07:01

up to Mike's office or Bedroom

1:07:04

bedroom slash office and being crunched over

1:07:06

like CJ falling down the stairs Yeah,

1:07:08

I shit bringing them in getting stitches

1:07:10

I think it feels like I have

1:07:12

more memories there because like we still

1:07:14

here if we move from here I

1:07:16

go man the memories at this shop.

1:07:18

Yeah, are away that but yeah There's

1:07:20

some really good memories at that first

1:07:22

shop Especially because it was so small

1:07:24

like we quite literally had to stand

1:07:26

closer to each other when we were

1:07:28

like in the kitchen area And stuff.

1:07:30

Yeah, well you live there Mike so

1:07:32

you spend more time That's

1:07:34

true. But I lived here too for just as

1:07:36

long as I live there. That's sure longer. True

1:07:38

Yeah, I'd love to if the people want to

1:07:40

see it. Maybe we'll do like an unlocking Memories

1:07:43

of the old shop and we can go

1:07:45

through some stuff and talk about it cuz

1:07:47

man carpet in the bathroom Was in the

1:07:50

bathroom diabolical decision to have carpet in the

1:07:52

bathroom. That was good times though I was

1:07:54

just at my parents house the other day

1:07:56

and I went upstairs to the loft where

1:07:58

it all started. Oh like Mike

1:08:00

used to live there too. Man, Mike, yeah,

1:08:02

Mike's kind of bounced around. He's like a

1:08:04

nomad. So Mike called a couch surfer couch

1:08:07

surfer. More dialed than that,

1:08:09

but pretty much couch surfer. And I was just

1:08:11

up, I was up at, uh, in

1:08:13

the loft where we used to, you know,

1:08:15

first started editing the videos and shipping the

1:08:17

merch out and Mike lived there. And

1:08:20

it was just like, it seems like

1:08:23

an eternity ago. Yeah. I

1:08:25

guess thinking back to like nine years ago, that

1:08:27

is a pretty long time ago. Like think about

1:08:30

nine years before that I would have been like

1:08:32

eight. We're

1:08:35

actually at eight years. You said nine

1:08:37

and eight. Yeah. July 20th of 2016 when the

1:08:39

channel got made. So

1:08:41

we're actually coming up on eight years and like

1:08:43

the next month, like, you know, 20 days. I've

1:08:45

been saying it's wrong. I've been saying we're coming

1:08:47

up on nine. I don't know if we're boosting

1:08:49

or hurting our stats. Yeah. You know, probably better

1:08:52

off saying eight years, you know, with the journey

1:08:54

of people leaving, coming back,

1:08:57

all the things that have happened along this. I

1:08:59

don't think, well, I know for a fact, if

1:09:01

it had happened differently, we wouldn't be here right

1:09:03

now, but I, I truly think if

1:09:05

things hadn't went the way that they did, I

1:09:08

don't know if we would all, if we'd all

1:09:10

be here right now. So thank God it did

1:09:12

happen that way. Justin, it's fucking fantastic having you

1:09:14

back around and we're a great addition to the

1:09:16

team. We're thankful to have you. It's awesome to

1:09:19

be back. It's awesome to be back. Well said.

1:09:21

Stronger than ever. Now, next time we run a

1:09:23

pod like this, we'll have to have Jake on

1:09:25

too. It might get a little tight, but

1:09:27

1:09:30
