0:54

One of two things happened Either the kids trying to flip

0:56

and make him a buck , which ain't good on him . Dude

0:58

, I got my money .

0:59

We've all done it .

1:02

Or I watched him leave when he wrote it . He

1:04

didn't look too solid on it .

1:06

Nah , this is too much .

1:08

Maybe he scared the shit out of himself

1:10

and was like nope , Gotta go . I

1:13

didn't know if it was that , or how old was he ? Oh

1:16

this kid . There's no way this kid was 20

1:18

.

1:18

OK , I know if he got home and the wife

1:20

was like , oh no , it might have been more

1:22

like mom . You're

1:26

going to fucking sell that right now .

1:27

I don't know where you thought you was doing with that , but

1:29

you're getting rid of it right fucking now . You're

1:32

still on my health insurance Shit .

1:34

Because I don't know if that price he put was

1:36

stuck as they put it . It kept telling me with my

1:38

Jeep , right , oh , that's the hey . My wife may

1:40

be listed . I

1:45

have a friend that did that with their house one time . She even

1:47

felt like moving . Her husband wanted to move . She's like cool

1:49

, this is the price .

1:51

It's the women that same house .

1:55

This is the price for me to move .

1:56

Yeah , but now that he sold the

1:58

motor out of it motor electrics

2:00

, everything guy wanted it for a shifter

2:02

cart motor . Oh , so I'm

2:05

getting a rolling chassis back . Oh , that

2:07

you built , I didn't build the chassis .

2:09

Well , I mean , you put it together .

2:11

Oh no that 450 came whenever we

2:13

traded out the old dirt bike . Anyway

2:15

, now I just got to figure out what we're going

2:17

to put in it Corvette engine .

2:19

I would , I would Put

2:21

an electric motor , I would offer a thousand

2:23

CC Polaris engine . It don't .

2:27

Put an electric motor .

2:28

It's crossed my mind , make it an electric

2:31

forfeit . But a CR

2:33

Fucking , do it , it'll be cool I

2:36

might do it , but

2:38

I'm also thinking about putting a CR 500

2:41

motor , so I know a guy .

2:43

You know him too , but there's a guy that

2:45

takes those little razor , four wheelers , yeah

2:47

and soups them up as you put

2:49

it . So he understands the geometry

2:51

of it at least .

2:52

Oh no , I have a bin in my pocket Dude

2:54

.

2:54

put an electric motor in it , please .

2:56

Well , it's also Ben's bike , so convince

2:58

Ben and do it Ben . We're putting a fucking electric

3:00

motor in it , he actually listens to every show , well

3:03

there you go , Ben .

3:03

We're putting an electric motor in it . You know who can

3:05

work with wood ?

3:06

Ben you know work with metal Ben Ben

3:08

, you know who can help us put an electric motor in a

3:10

450? .

3:12

Ben and Matt . Yeah , you

3:14

got to convince Ben . Ben really likes

3:16

gas . Ok , a lot . There's

3:18

no motor in this thing , yeah , so let's put an

3:20

electric one .

3:21

That's what I'm saying . We'll go buy one with a gas motor

3:23

in it .

3:24

You think you could do wheelies and a gas .

3:25

Dude that's fucking .

3:27

Oh my .

3:27

God an electric motor .

3:29

You want to make a wheelie . It would be stupid , yeah

3:31

, but .

3:33

I have to put a wheelie bar on it .

3:34

Yeah , fucking A lot A

3:36

part about doing a wheelie is being able

3:38

to let off and have it just kind

3:40

of stay there . Electric motor is just going

3:42

to go . What ?

3:43

No , no , no , you could . You could throttle it . Yeah

3:45

, you can throttle it .

3:46

That's even in the golf cart . It's actually a

3:48

potential meter .

3:49

As you drag it across .

3:51

it tells it how much to push .

3:52

Yeah , yeah , well put an electric motor , just

3:55

do it .

3:55

I'm going to let Ben try to do that one first

3:57

. I still want

3:59

to see our 500 motor . I want to see our 500

4:01

.

4:01

I miss Bob Quadsilla . You know when they

4:03

announced , because they just start talking about their building

4:06

them now , the cyber trucks .

4:07

Yeah , when they announced it .

4:08

They actually announced they had a four wheeler .

4:10

That went with it . Oh nice , that's

4:13

on the back burner . Yeah , I know that . Did you see the clip

4:15

?

4:15

today no they got got

4:18

off road in where was

4:20

he ?

4:20

I've watched the rally guys or the trophy truck

4:23

guys . That was only when I watched today , because that's where I was thinking

4:25

about me and you having something with that much horsepower

4:27

and which one's going to be the

4:29

one saying where to turn and which one's

4:31

going to be the one , because

4:33

one guy was just like you're in it , keep going .

4:35

Yeah , the other guy was just now . This

4:38

dude went off road with it . He was trying to pick up

4:40

a Christmas tree and oh , I saw that

4:42

he was he was spinning his wheel . Yeah

4:44

, he just couldn't , and I mean it didn't look like

4:46

a whole lot .

4:47

Well , but there was no snow . There was no other

4:49

vehicle there either , like who else wasn't going

4:51

to peel out in the snow ?

4:52

Right yeah .

4:54

Because I've driven in some snow and

4:56

I've ran off the road more than once . Yeah , put

4:58

an electric motor in it .

5:03

I don't know how much electric motor . I don't give

5:05

a shit .

5:06

No , I'm not , I'm asking I was like .

5:08

I've never even looked at him .

5:09

It can't be that bad , because the harder parts can

5:11

be figured out how to transfer that power

5:13

to the , to the wheels , yeah yeah , what

5:15

size battery would you need ?

5:17

Well , that four wheels were on a chain . Yeah

5:19

, yeah . So just fucking put a sprocket on an

5:21

electric motor . Right Go , he's

5:23

got a point yeah .

5:25

Dude , I'm telling you , you're fucking fun .

5:27

You can look underneath my golf cart and see real

5:29

quick how they got the power to go to

5:31

that axle .

5:32

Yeah , if not .

5:33

if not , you ain't that axle out Ben it's

5:35

up to you , buddy .

5:37

I thought you want to put it Pretty pretty several concepts

5:39

of wiring and everything like crazy easy

5:41

.

5:41

You just put it to the battery and you

5:43

put a fucking thromb .

5:44

I'm just saying man , we figured this out . I'm

5:47

going to start finding some rolling chassis .

5:51

It'll be fine , do it . Yeah , but dude

5:53

it'll be fine , it's a .

5:54

CR 500 . It's a two stroke

5:56

500 . So 500 cc .

5:58

No , no , no , no , no , no , no it's not

6:00

, but it's the one with nothing , with the no motor

6:03

. Oh wait , what are you talking ?

6:04

about ? I'm talking about the 450 . Yeah

6:07

, me too , with no motor . I don't know what he's talking about .

6:09

I want to put a CR 500 motor in it .

6:11

But it's not . It's not , it's an electric , isn't

6:13

it ?

6:13

I don't have an electric motor either .

6:15

Oh true that we can find one . No , you

6:17

want a motor and get your motor .

6:19

Actually , I found a CR 250 in Arnavill

6:21

today for $400 .

6:23

I'll get your motor on Walmartcom right now .

6:27

With a super charger ? Did they have an ?

6:28

electric ? Did they have a super charge electric ?

6:31

Super charge electric .

6:33

They're close to Maximal Air in that shit they

6:35

do .

6:36

They're the company that makes electric crate engines . Uh

6:38

boom put in like for full

6:40

size vehicles , like they'll send you all the stuff

6:43

to basically convert one over but battery

6:45

because I looked into it because somebody does them for jeeps

6:47

. Yep oh dope yeah , pretty neat

6:49

.

6:50

So then you could drive around like a little CJ and not

6:52

make any noise which would be perfect

6:54

, because those are also vehicles .

6:55

You're not going to drive very far , yeah

6:58

Dang dang .

7:01

So we're doing an electric Jeep and an electric .

7:03

Full and electric .

7:05

Look , there's a couple . There's

7:08

a couple of jeeps out there right now . They're like two

7:10

and three thousand dollars I can put my hands on .

7:12

Put them making electric Look . The reality of

7:14

it is is that I talk about buying EVs

7:16

with people and they all think that I'm like this tree

7:18

hoover and I want to save the world . No , no , that shit

7:21

performs , bro . It fucking

7:23

performs , and I like performance vehicles .

7:25

I like that Badass , I

7:27

like that . And .

7:28

I like the Prius , prius sucks All the other ones

7:30

Fucking cool .

7:32

Well , you see that I have , like all the other things

7:35

I have are electric because , as Matt

7:37

probably knows , I'm not very good at maintenance

7:39

.

7:40

Yeah , so you don't have to maintain it .

7:41

No , they always work until the battery . Until

7:43

the battery dies you change it out , fuck it . Yeah , I mean

7:45

that's a big part of it . For me is it's both sides

7:48

of it .

7:48

Yeah .

7:48

They some of them perform better , but some of them don't

7:51

perform better than their gas counterpart , or two

7:53

stroke in some cases .

7:55

Well , let's do this .

7:56

We'll find another 450 chassis and

7:58

when I say that electric and we'll put the other one in the middle

8:00

of fucking race . I know , I think I

8:02

get what you're saying . I'm just like sometimes

8:04

it's the sound , oh yeah

8:07

, it's the whole experience .

8:08

It's the until you've really

8:10

been out there . And bad , bad

8:13

, bad , bad and it's too strong . It

8:15

makes you dick hard . It's

8:19

so great . Nothing smells like it either

8:21

.

8:22

Nothing yeah .

8:23

And I mean , yeah , you OK , yard tools , whatnot

8:25

? No , some good plots

8:27

to cycle .

8:28

It smells like bad decisions Just .

8:31

I just Just a real motor kind of

8:33

smell .

8:33

No , no , I'm talking about like a

8:35

nicely tuned lean CR

8:37

250 . You smell that oil too

8:40

. Bang yeah

8:42

, just got it . Just got a hint of

8:44

blue to the smoke , yeah

8:46

.

8:46

It just smells . Oh yeah , when you could

8:48

see it come out of the exhaust .

8:50

Yeah .

8:50

Smells like .

8:51

America , america , america

8:54

. Too lovely , too smoky man , did you ever ?

8:56

eat two stroke . Personal watercraft , jet

8:58

ski I had several of them

9:00

. I had standouts .

9:03

They're great man , because the one that got

9:05

and I'm trying to remember who I bought it from

9:07

and I can't for the life of me , and

9:09

I had no idea what I was buying I was

9:11

jet ski . Stupid as all could be

9:13

, it was a full PGS motor

9:15

pre performer jet ski . It was some company

9:18

that was in the early 90s that just made

9:20

ridiculous performance parts .

9:22

I was so obsessed with jet skis in the

9:24

early 90s Like I remember . I used to watch

9:26

on the weekends , and at night you could watch

9:28

monster truck shows right . And they would have a lot

9:30

of these jet ski competitions both

9:32

the freestyle and the racing .

9:34

Larry Rippenkroger .

9:35

Yes , yep .

9:36

Yep .

9:36

Yep .

9:37

Yes , you did that one I bought literally

9:39

. I was on it like cool , hit the gas , it

9:41

took off , let me , let's

9:44

go . It's like , well , I wasn't

9:46

prepared for that . All right , I

9:48

had a wave blaster . I bought a wave blaster

9:51

from a guy in Atlanta . They delivered it

9:53

to me Christmas Eve on Cleveland Street

9:55

and I rode it in the river

9:57

Christmas afternoon . Oh

10:00

, I had a new toy .

10:01

I never been on one .

10:03

I had to ride it . Yeah , that's the motor

10:05

. That's the first motor I ever built and I built it in

10:07

the kitchen . In Cleveland Street Should put an electric

10:09

motor in one .

10:11

It was that .

10:11

Sounds like a fucking terrible

10:14

idea . Yeah , let

10:16

me take this lithium battery and

10:18

smudge it .

10:21

It would perform well fast .

10:24

Well , here's the thing More horsepower

10:26

in jet motors is not

10:28

always the answer .

10:29

Discavitation yes .

10:31

You have to have it . You have to build a pump so

10:33

ridiculous that you end up making that . You have

10:35

to make the vehicle bigger . Yeah , there was

10:37

a guy that put I forget what

10:40

motor in this

10:42

big long , I think it was an Kawasaki

10:44

STX 15 , big , big , big

10:46

ski , and I forget what he

10:48

put in it but he could never get it to hook up .

10:50

Yeah .

10:51

You know , if he would , if he would just kind of you

10:54

, just kind of baby it , then it would be what

10:56

you want to , got it up to like 80

10:58

or something like that which don't even wrong .

11:00

That's fucking a hole in that . So

11:02

I would . Yeah , I was obsessed with all those things but my

11:05

parents weren't going to buy me anything that I could kill

11:07

myself with . But my

11:09

parents friends would let me ride their stuff and

11:14

we were down in the swamps of

11:16

Henderson , of a chaff live basin , so the people

11:18

I don't know . I mean there's like cypress , there's trees everywhere

11:20

. There's these cypress the cypress trees even

11:22

have these stumps , these little knees they're part

11:24

of their root system that sometimes aren't even

11:27

sticking up out of the water Right below . Oh

11:29

, dude , and they will . And I'm sitting there on a houseboat

11:32

for 4th of July I don't know everybody's drinking . I'm

11:34

like 15 years old . I'm hanging on this house , I'm not drinking

11:36

, but I'm hanging on my dad and all of a sudden his buddy

11:38

pulls up on a Kawasaki 1100

11:40

. Four stroke but this

11:42

was the biggest engine they had ever put in

11:44

jet ski . Yeah , up to that point . And I

11:47

looked at everything . I was like how fast does that thing

11:49

go ? And he goes , I don't know .

11:50

And he threw me the keys and I just got it on the left .

11:53

It went 72 miles an hour , oh , without

11:56

goggles or any kind of preparation

11:58

or worrying about what was around the corner

12:00

.

12:00

Yeah , probably not a life jacket either , and probably

12:03

not , no , no I couldn't see

12:05

dude .

12:05

I was like yes , how fast are you going ? I said

12:07

I know I did 72 , because I saw

12:09

that at one point .

12:10

But there was so much water .

12:13

And I was just squinting and going as fast

12:15

as possible .

12:17

I've only been in the base of one time on a jet

12:19

ski . I was out there with a

12:21

guy that I'm going to call Shitbag

12:23

and we were in between the bridges

12:26

and he got an alert on his I

12:28

think it was low oil or something like that

12:30

and freaked out , turn off his ski . He's like boo

12:32

boo , boo , boo , boo . It was a way of ways . I

12:34

was like well , go around the way

12:36

we came and possibly blow up your motor

12:38

, like or or I'm about to have

12:40

a bad idea and you just follow .

12:42

Oh yeah , we're going to shortcut , right and we went straight

12:45

through the stones Bang , bang

12:47

, bang and dude .

12:48

I just I don't know if I like

12:50

you were like you were bumper ball . No

12:54

, I was on my way .

12:54

Black like a pinball machine , I was on my

12:57

yeah , you had to , I

12:59

never crossed my mind , hey I

13:01

don't think people see what I'm seeing is

13:03

you hitting one every once ? Well , I know like you were , like I

13:05

bought one . You were probably coming down like those

13:07

guys on the black diamond mogul .

13:12

Yeah , I did bump one , but it never crossed

13:14

my mind . Hey , you could go slow through

13:16

this .

13:17

No , no , because that wouldn't the engine would

13:20

have . Probably his engine would have been going

13:22

slower .

13:22

So fast , probably . Looking

13:25

back , I wish it would have exploded . Oh , 100

13:27

percent . Oh , such a turd

13:30

.

13:31

But they're never really explode , they just make a

13:33

really bad .

13:34

No , I didn't say one , the other day .

13:36

I'm just saying from personal experience .

13:38

No , it is here's a video I

13:40

saw the other day and I think there was something

13:42

happened when they were putting fuel in this jet ski

13:44

.

13:44

Oh yeah .

13:45

And the chick is sitting on it and

13:47

it explodes . Oh , this

13:49

chick goes flying the seat off . The jet

13:51

ski comes up and tosses that chick

13:53

. Oh , wow .

13:55

I would tell you about the time we put too much gas in the jet

13:57

ski . Yeah , when down the Zimmer point we

13:59

were riding around for a good while in

14:01

the morning and then somebody gets on the jet ski and we're on

14:03

the little beach there about the state park .

14:05

You told me .

14:06

It's riding low . At this point , look at

14:08

me . I'm like dude , this thing isn't riding right

14:10

. I think it's got too much gas , because when I

14:12

rock it it's like and I'm like you need to come back

14:14

now they

14:18

never put the plug in the jet .

14:20

Oh yeah , too much gas , oh yeah .

14:22

Dude , the whole compartment was full of water

14:24

, full of water .

14:24

Don't watch that YouTube channel . That's on

14:26

that bay . Oh , it's all over

14:29

inlet , yes One of the most amazing

14:31

things to watch .

14:32

They have this she is this

14:34

inlet going out into ?

14:36

I'm guessing it's either the golf version yes , in

14:38

Miami , the golf in Mexico . No , I think it's

14:40

in Pensacola or Panama

14:42

, something like that .

14:43

But it's got it's family bad waves in

14:45

this part of the inlet Because it's a car and

14:48

the top of the bay and going to Panama City has

14:50

dolphins there too , so you can go ride jet skis

14:52

through there .

14:53

I've actually ridden jet skis in that

14:55

area .

14:55

And we would go , you go .

14:57

you can buy food in the bay and then you

14:59

go out and you can If it's the one I'm thinking

15:01

of , you can go jump .

15:03

It's pretty big waves I mean , this

15:05

was ridiculous in a big boat . Yeah , it's like

15:07

, yeah , yeah , like , there's this chick .

15:09

We were doing jet skis there and we went feet off .

15:11

If you don't know what you're doing , you're hurting some of it .

15:12

There's this chick called the Blue Tar .

15:14

Abandoned . I didn't really care back then .

15:16

Yeah , she's really good she is . She's

15:18

in like this 18 , 19

15:20

foot Boston whaler with a blue

15:22

tar like Abeminate Top , and

15:25

this chick is just what I think , like a

15:27

50 or a 60 on it , and she's

15:29

just mashing it , and it's

15:31

always her in another chick and you always

15:33

think they're going to die and somehow they

15:35

do not understand it , it goes

15:37

from Biscayne Bay to Lanark Ocean in Miami

15:40

, in Miami .

15:41

But there's something to do with the current and the

15:43

waves and how fast the current

15:45

pulls in versus oh , they're just but

15:48

right there and it's not very wide in there .

15:49

You're smashing , the waves are

15:51

smashing each other , and then there's some people you

15:54

can tell under . I love it because there's a people that coming

15:56

in and you can watch them like they're almost surfing it .

15:59

Like they ride the wave in and then they get on the

16:01

crest of the next one and they ride it and you

16:03

got the next dude .

16:03

that just Brash , is it ? And

16:06

then they got the dumb people in the front . You have

16:09

watched the videos and go oh , that's

16:11

that looks like fun .

16:12

Let me ride the front .

16:13

No , dude , they throw people out the boat

16:15

.

16:15

I know I've seen it .

16:16

Yeah , and those are the . That's the better ones to me . You

16:18

can break everything's hilarious when

16:20

the ones when it slams and I see the person

16:23

fly like 15 feet in there and then the boat comes

16:25

up to meet it . Yeah , they don't even fall down

16:27

, it meets them .

16:29

Whenever you fall down and both ankles

16:31

smashed together like that ?

16:33

No , but somebody

16:35

else on top of you . Yeah , yeah , phone

16:37

fly .

16:38

Oh , dude , it's , it's it's always some dumb

16:40

shit over there . Oh , every once in

16:42

a while I just put it on YouTube , throw it up

16:44

on a screen and just just

16:49

mute out entertainment . Oh yeah , just

16:51

giggle .

16:51

It's wonderful , we're just gonna sit over there one

16:53

day and just go watch from the bay .

16:55

Oh , dude , that would be done . Oh man , That'd be

16:57

dope . Oh , I'd rather go watch Rockets

16:59

Take a look , we could do both . We could do that too .

17:01

Yeah , but Rockets only happen

17:03

once a day , that's what I'm

17:05

saying .

17:05

That's what I'm saying we can go more than one in

17:08

a day from the Cape .

17:09

Oh , yeah , yeah .

17:11

17:13

Sunday the heavy and they

17:16

were supposed to launch one at 39 a , which was the heavy

17:19

, and one at forty four hours .

17:20

I guess I would assume that one launch from

17:22

one launch pad a day .

17:24

Yeah , I don't know that they figured out how

17:26

to turn it around in less than 24 hours , but

17:28

they can turn around pretty quick .
