Corvette Vandalism Caught on Camera, CJ Debates Mayor He Laughed At, & Why Ken Hates His Ad

I was watching the jail roster, they let him out yesterday. - What? - Yeah. I will not be in this single-take-talk dance and making a single-take-talk. I'd go to Vegas and make that bet. - Corp, guys, ain't beating their cars up, right? - Yeah. - Ah, so what's up, man? - No, they beat it up. - He was beaten it up. - He was happy to sit down and have a debate with you. - Oh, my God! - Oh, my God! - Hop on in here, Mike. Thanks for coming. - I didn't know if you guys wanted Evan or not. - Well, on everybody, we just don't have enough mics. - I know, we need more mics. - And it's like, how safe is it to have seven, eight, nine mics? - Yeah, we already got you right here. - I know. - Dude, we're gonna run out of room in the shop. I was just walking around. I was tip-toeing around all the stuff you had back there, Mike. - Yeah, if there was more of you, there'd be way too much stuff. - There'd be a lot of stuff around here. - It would be. - Sit on Spani's lap. - Yeah, Evan, you chime in. - Evan, you want to just take Ken's spot back there? Ken's been slacking in the tech department. Our TV doesn't even work. - I figured it out. It just took me 17 episodes, but-- - 17 episodes. - Or 200 episodes in, Ken. - No, it's 190, I think. - We only lost the remote probably like two months ago, though. - Well, welcome back. - Thanks, Mike. - Thanks for having me. - Yeah, thanks for having me. I'm Blaze Orange today, so-- - Blaze? - If you're listening-- - You should avoid it. - Yeah, Blaze. - Can't be podcasting, hi, Mike. - No, I was talking about the Vikings, really, dude. - Oh, Blaze! - Blaze, the Vikings cheerleader. - Yeah, I mean, you do think about 'em a lot, Ben. - Well, I don't know about that, but-- - Hey, hey, I'm so happy. - He's good at what he does. - Yeah, I mean, you're happy about it. It's a pretty big accomplishment for you and your people. Evan, you know, a male cheerleader out there. - Hi. - My farm palms. - My fellow males. - You guys got-- - No, I'm just your group of people, yeah. - You guys got anything pressing, 'cause I need information from you, CJ. - From me? - Yes. - I'm sure. - Well, I saw your story and it blew my mind the other day of your dad's - Corvette. - Oh, yeah, how was he saying? - Assulting, yeah. - Yeah, is that not wild? - I couldn't believe my eyes. - I know, it's actually really a bummer because-- - So what happened? - My dad has a Black C6. It's very similar to the 06 that we're doing to give away on, except it's like low miles and it's not a 06. And, I mean, it's convertible, but he loves a thing. Like, he doesn't drive it in the rain. He obviously makes, like, there's not a scratch on it. He parts it away from cars. Like, he treats it like how most Corvette owners treat it, you know? And just has taken such good care of this thing over the last eight years of him having it. And basically, just some, I don't know if he was drunk or on drugs. Just was walking by and just jumps up on his hood and starts just jumping on the hood. So where did he have it parked? Just across the street from where he works here. And my mom works there with him too. And I guess she saw it. So then they run out and my parents are in their 60s now. So it's not like they're going to go fight some Crackhead, you know? - Who's the hearty fighting a car? - Keep in mind. I mean, I'll just play the video. I don't know if anybody should be fighting Crackhead. - You can't. - Crackhead's ranked. - He freaking-- - I mean, he was pulled up. - Dude, he's had like a rusty jank on himself then. - Exactly, exactly. - Like I would have not even got close to him. - Dude, I think you can punch a Crackhead like 12 times in the face. - And they won't even feel it. - Yeah, we'll be dancing. - Well, he punched the glass. You know how hard that is to do to punch a glass and actually break it? He did it multiple times. But anyways, I'll just put it up on the screen here. Bro, that Crackhead watched Transformers. It went fuck these things, dude. And went out and attacked your dad's car. - Dude, they have C6 Corvette's in Transformers. - No, but he just, probably, it kind of looks-- - Dude, you can't hear him punching him. - That's my mom. So he was already on the hood before this. Kicks the back. - Oh, that's it, oh! - Keep in mind, this thing is in perfect condition. - Yeah. - The cops are coming, buddy. - And then he kind of stops for a little bit here. - Yeah, so then he circles around here. Watch this. - Oh, no! - What the hell is he doing? - But look at him, he looks his hand. - That's a piece of shit. - I'm so mad. - Dude, I've never seen anybody do much of my life. That is insane. - Yeah. Just one hand punching it. So I mean, that's what I wouldn't want to fight him. I mean-- - Dude, how about this right here? - Yeah, he's on drugs. - He's kind of starting-- - Starts humping the thing. - He thinks it's a fucking Decepticon. - Dude, replay that punch again. - Yeah. - That punch was insane. Watch him one hand punch it. And my dad's like, or my mom's like, he's gonna break his hand. And then he just turns and looks at his hand. It was pretty funny. Watch this shit. - Look at the glass. - Well, the brakes is fucking hands. - Boom! - Boom! - He looks down at it like a smug. - That hurts a piece of shit. - My mom was so mad. - Your mother's the sweetest lady in the world, too. I don't think I've ever heard her swear. - Yeah, yeah, it was kind of her first time, I think. (laughing) - Dude, yeah, I had to have felt good for her. Get it out, but-- - Yeah, I suppose. - But anyways, yeah, my dad was, he's, I think a little torn up, still about it. Obviously, 'cause his prized possession just got literally fucked up. - Assaulted. - And like, he thinks about things like, he doesn't want him to have an accident on it, on its vehicle report for resale. And like, you know, he spent years just keeping this thing pristine. And now it's like, to him, it's like not as good. - Now it's time to go and like get it fixed. And like the guy fucked up pretty decently. - My point is that he looks at it differently than we would. Like, we would be like, what, you know, it'd be kind of fucking a story. - I got a good podcast story. - We'd move on, we'd go get it fixed, whatever. But it just, it hits a little different. And then he's also pretty bummed because I think he, well, my mom was saying he wishes that he would have done something, but I'm like, no, that would have been stupid to go and do something about it. - I don't know what you could do. - Dude, he could have sold it, he would have gotten in trouble for assaulting. - Yeah, that's the other thing. - Like, if your dad literally touched on me, would be like, well, who knows, he could have gotten the drugs on. Or he just would have, he could have gotten stabbed. - Yeah. - Or he could have, you know, end up actually kicking the guys ass and then it just gets flipped on him. - Dude, you have dad too. - He's a black belt, too. - He's a black belt. - Oh, shit. - He's a black belt. - He could have gone on. - You know, he kicked him in the ass. - One round knows that guy's down. - Yeah, bro, how crazy would that have been? Like, your mom's filming and then next to you, you know, your dad comes in. He's wearing his collar shirt and his slacks. You see him round out, he's kicking him in the head. I thought I loved it. I mean, fuck, if I was in my raptor, you could have maybe like booted him, you know, like hit him, but then it's like the same thing, you know. - In the soul. - I'm not saying you run him over, but if you like hit him at the right speed and hit the brakes, you hit him like a soccer ball. - Oh, good call. - Yeah. - Then it just ended up killing him. Then you, what happened to him? - What happened to him? - So yeah, cops came and they caught him walking down the street. But, you know, of course, a guy like that probably doesn't have any money or anything like that, but he's in jail now. - No, I was watching the jail roster. They let him out yesterday. - What? - Yeah. - No, they didn't. - They did. - He's not on the jail roster anymore, so. - So I don't know what's gonna happen now. - He spent like 24 hours in jail, essentially. - Wow. - Are you sure you were looking at the right name? - I mean, I looked through, like-- - 'Cause my mom said he had a court hearing today. I mean, we were looking at Zoom. They got the cops sent him a Zoom thing. - I was just scrolling through it. He's not on the roster anymore. - Well, maybe you're looking at the wrong guy, but I don't know. Either way, I think he's actually still in jail. I think you're looking at the wrong guy, but I was thinking, you know, what could we do to like, avenge my dad? - We post his bail. - That's what I'm saying. - We get him out of jail. He thinks that, oh, wow. These random guys posted my bail, right? And then we-- - And then we kick his ass. - Yeah, we like bring him out here and bring him out somewhere. - Yeah. - We all pull up in Corvettes. He panics. He's like, oh God. - My other idea was, so we could time do a chair and then like hit a crazy rollback on him with this. (all laughing) Just scare him. We don't actually hear them. - He's here. - He's here. - No, or what we do is we bail him out, right? And we're just like super friendly. He doesn't know who we are. He knows he messed up, you know, a guy's Corvette and all this stuff, but like, we're like, hey, you know, we don't know what you did, but we want to help make things, right? And we get him a job. And like, we get him like a pretty good paying job. We help him build up. And we encourage him, like, hey, like, you need to buy your dream car. And then like two, three years. Like, maybe probably take longer than that. Maybe 10 years down the line. He's finally worked his way up. He's got some things going on for him. He gets his first dream car. And then we fucking show up and beat the shit out of that thing. While he's at work watching. - That's like a 10 year situation. - Yeah, yeah, that's how you properly get revenge. - Hey, I'm gonna be 40 by then. - If you can't hold a grudge, you can't hold anything, you know? - That's how you properly get revenge. But yeah, so basically messed up his Corvette pretty good. And I don't know what he's gonna do. Yeah, he's pretty bummed. - I think he's-- - You don't get insurance on that, dude. - He could, I believe. But then you're gonna have a vehicle report. You know, like it's gonna say there's an accident or damage on the car facts, which to him matters. I don't know. I think it's just a bad situation on around. - It really had me thinking, the crazy you guys, I'm sure saw Tim, the giveaway winner of the Lamborghini. Some crazy metal piece flew up on the highway and hit the car. This is like the third thing that's like hit the car. And it just took out the front right quarter panel. It made a giant hole in it. But just the front right quarter panel. In this scenario, he hit the back, he hit the side windows, he hit the front, he stood on it. - He hit all four corners. - So that's what really stresses me out. Like if I like blew a tire in my viper and took out the rear quarter panel. Like, in the end of the day is one part of the car to really hone in on fix. But when it's just all angles, like it spums me out. - It's like a trunk hood windshield. Yeah, you know, he's not like so it's like at that point you repaint the whole thing cares about it being stock to like you know The giveaway winner of the Lambo that guy has hit so much stuff with that Lamborghini. It's unbelievable But that's because he's driving it. Yeah, I like the one guy the one guy's comment was exactly what I was thinking before he even said He's like, well, I guess now you can get carbon fiber fenders with events, you know, which I'm like well shit Yeah, that's that's kind of how I would think of it too, you know, yeah It's got to just like for your dad feel even after you get that thing back to Pristine condition it'd be like if your girl cheated on you or something and you guys get over it But then in the back of your mind, you're just like, ah It's just not the same thing ran through a little bit here. Yeah They're cars it's been beat up and don't get me. It's okay. He beats it up. Yeah, he's someone else's Yeah, of a Corvette guy saying beating their cars up, right? Some of us are beating it up beating it up you ain't beating it up time is not every week Saturday at nights Beat it up gosh, that's funny. It is funny. There's like hard. Oh, I'll run it hard every so often There's like Corvette Ryan Bees a shit out of his But any other Corvette owner I there's very few and four Ryan's feeling far between I think the first time I ever rode and Ryan's It's just not in the room Anyway, yeah, I guess all right, I suppose you may be beat it up, but I've been I've been it up She's like when it's right but every time I mean exhausting on the last podcast Where dare Ryan explain Ryan explain how to shoot flames on They're talking about beating up something else Sorry, I was I was thinking about my dad's Corvette My mind wasn't in the gutter and how he was beat it up. No, he's a really good care of that If your mind's not in the gutter, where is it in the right place? Yeah, we were just in the right place I had no idea what was going on beating it up. Hey, speaking of beating it up Got my continental back Something else beat it up. What was the damage? How much of the cost was wrong with it? Don't know how much your cost. He doesn't have the bill done yet. We get a lot of hard scary I was really working on that bill, huh? Yeah, I got two labor hours just in creating the bill He finished the car before he finished the bill. I talked to him. I called him on Saturday I said hey, you got that bill done yet. He's like not still working on it stop either today He's like, oh, I don't I don't know if that's done yet. Can't call you just big. This is it's gonna be big So instead of charging Evan and Gavin with the bill I think since you're renting it out to another wedding ironically this weekend You finally got the thing back and it's going back to things just a wedding rental The richest guy in the area big mansion one of his sons is getting married And they are borrowing it for a wedding. I've got I've got a back-end deal. I already worked out We can't just back end back in deal with the guy I got another deal worked out for the for that So it's the car still needs get fixed from Mike's wedding No can look at a back-end dealer. Are we talking about it? You don't have to worry about it Don't worry about his none yet none your business. I might not have to worry about it, but I am curious Yeah, I hope I wouldn't worry about it, but I was talking to the guy and he was like Yep, the one of the power steering lines just blew out probably from having a cranks on the red line There's so much pressure going through that just blew the hose You said that can you said I initially won't blow out the power steering Well, that's that's great news What happens if these guys are ripping some donuts or possibly even worse? Park it in one of his numerous ponds on the property True they they can pay for it. Are you gonna go and pay for you gonna go and supervise them? No, it's not my wedding. I wasn't invited to the wedding, but you invited my insurance agent is going to the wedding And we were we were all she could watch the thing You call it churns for this. No, I didn't call an insurance Yeah, yeah, so you are kind of running like a rental car here pretty much Goes from one wedding streets and the next times of you drove it can about 10 How many times was it on video? Oh four of them. So you drove it six times. Are you gonna keep it? Oh, yeah, good because me and Greta's wedding is next year You know fees going up next year, so Conflation what are we talking here? How much well? You know, it's there's there's a lot of moving parts you know Moving parts and shirts and cheap, so we can work at a deal a little back on deal I think I'd rather pay what's a non-monetary deal look like for you can trip something Meekin oh Jack can said take me on your Normally, it's like after a couple's been married for a while not the honey moon I mean, if you're as a Ken come with on the trip or the honey, that's more the anniversary Yeah, so Ken's been working his side gig quite a bit because he was saving up money for his Ken to rental It's got to be a relief. It is it's nice to have it back and his Ken Castle. What's your house? How do we Ken that? What ran you know he doesn't want to talk about castle Ken definitely not a castle What kind of world you're living in now? Slap a damn gargoyle on the top and into castle. No, he is a gargoyle and a moat Do the gargoyle no moat. I don't have space for it gargoyle Can you need any any like gifts for your house now that's getting closer to being done? Oh, it's not a woman gift We're near being done. Would you like housewarming gifts depends? Oh, let's just all get them air friars You'll have five air friars. There's a normal housewarming gift, but I know all of you guys would not do a normal housewarming gift Isn't those are good ones though? It's funny, but yeah, am I going to be allowed on property supervised? Security that's there 24/7 like legally you're not supposed to be there, but since you're like a business partner You can be there if you're like on business. What about Evan and Gavin? Absolutely not really absolutely They're not even allowed on property. Well, they're just gonna break everything honestly I would let Evan on there and I'd let Gavin on there, but not at the same time. It's a good point Spenny was back in Canada for the last month or so and Gavin went and visited you He did come to Canada that's I watched the video of you guys going back country three wheelin Yeah, but it was like quarter three wheelin the rest hiking, right? Like you guys yeah hike in there a couple miles. Yeah, we hiked in a couple miles. Gavin wasn't ready for it I can't imagine he was oh because you're trying to get back to an untouched zone Yeah, I so that had to have been more entertaining just seeing him hike right bro Well, yeah, so he flew in landed in Calgary and then I actually took him to the moto track first Which was the funniest thing and I surprised him with the BW200 from like the 1980s and just watching him Talked to the big wheel guy because of course the big wheel guys got three wheelers and then Gavin walks up and he's like So 1984 huh tell me about it and the guys like well, yeah, he's like I've had it for since 10 20 years and Gavin's like just asking all these questions like I have no clue what they're talking about because I don't buy stuff from the 80s So I got no clue what they're talking. Yeah, it's just new to me. We buy it for me He loves it take him on the moto track He's actually riding it pretty good like road road good. It was funny because there's a bunch of like pro riders there that day Like the kid with a red bull helmet on the track and gabs on this little BW200 and just like they're just trying not to land I'm like people going everywhere Gav just has no clue. I was like alright Gav like this is a legit track You can't just like turn on lips as you need to follow the line no matter what you can't just like ride around wherever you want Like this isn't like a private compound that you can just do whatever you want This isn't the freaking track back in Kormoron. Yeah, so whatever. Yeah, he runs it and then the next day we went on a little adventure drove like a couple hours down gravel and then Got out to this spot, and it was like gnarly trails getting in there gnarly cut line And I had never wrote it before and gapped it good I mean I think he said he said that he hit one of his the biggest hilly's ever hit and then got down close to the river Park the rigs and the trees left the helmets and then we had backpacks with like food Brought some steaks cook some steaks Not beans no no beans, but we had a tent and then like sleeping pads They're like three inch sleeping pads and sleeping bags in me. I mean we just hiked literally down a cliff Like it was so gnarly was straight down Slep above on a waterfall and dude sleeping beside Gavin in a two-man tent. Yeah, was the worst thing I've ever done China shop. He literally rolled onto me probably 15 times. Oh, sorry Like laying half on me and I just like wake up and like Yeah, roll him off and he like wasn't ever awake. I'm like, Gav, Gav, like you're laying on my shoulder bro, like you're laying halfway on my body. Zero clue, just, he's just slumped. He had no clue that he was even-- - Yeah, that's how, when we were camping up on the roof of a Lamborghini. - It's a crazy statement. - Two of us were staying in this little pop-up tent, which is pretty wide too. I think the Lambo is wider than the two-man tent. - I don't know, it was tight. - You were a shoulder, it was-- - I just feel bad he's got his, like, he has some septum issues and it makes it really hard for him to, like, breathe normally while he's sleeping. - Really, he's like a friend bulldog? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You never heard that. - Gosh, dude, I feel so bad. - Sometimes if I've ever had to sleep in the same room inside. - Bro, he's just, like, struggling to breathe and it's, like, I feel so bad. - Can you just get those nose nasal strips that hold you and nose open? - Yeah. - What is funny about the-- - For those of you listening, Evan sitting on the couch and he's like our funny meter when he laughs at something. You know, it's funny. - What was funny about that? I guess I missed this. - Evan's sucking the paint out of the ceiling. It was funny. - Oh, hold on. - Oh my god. - Sucking the paint off the ceiling. - They're trying to see-- - What the fuck, an ant eater? - You don't snore? - Nope. - You snore when you're really drunk, but-- - It was just the last time that we roomed together. I recall you saying you've never heard snoring. - Yeah, it was-- - Mike. - Blue my mind. - You are the worst snore in the group by-- - Hands down. - Yeah, 10 times. - Gotta be. - But I mean, it's gotta improve. - You gotta be better now that you don't drink, but-- - Gotta be improved now. - Yeah, and now it's only by like six or seven times. - Damn it. - It is impressive. - I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to, honestly. - Yeah, we were staying in the RV and Mike came in late, of course. Wakes me up. I'm just trying to fall back to sleep. Mike falls asleep like immediately. - Oh, no, I didn't. - Evan woke me up. Dude, he's rolling around on like frickin' floor. But yeah, and then Mike falls asleep immediately and it's just like the whole RV is shaking. - It's probably-- - It's just like it's coming down. It sounded like it was hailing out. (laughing) - And it really does suck 'cause it just-- I'm so unaffected. Oh, did you hear this? Did you hear that last night? So and so was so loud. And I'm just like, oh, my slept. Great, guys. Every time. - Dude, our plan was actually on the houseboat, but then you slept on the roof. Our plan was to pull like they did in that one Disney movie where you put the person on the air mattress and they you float him out. Bro, how'd you get up to that? - You wanted to me, dude. You could have gotten me a while. - If you'd set up an air mattress right next to me, even like here, bud, air mattress. - You were up when we got up was the problem. But yeah, we should have just done it at night. - Oh yeah, night. Yeah, that's okay. - And that it's a risk of drowning or losing you. - Yeah. - But like, you could have tethered me up. - Bro, I still think about like, it's been a minute since you guys woke me up with water and I'm not mad at Ryan for this. You were the one that threw it. The way it splashed into me, it like peeled my irlis back. And I was like in pain the rest of the day. It felt like someone dug like water up there. - Yeah, shot water up my irlis. - Well, I felt bad. I did them to don't and I did it kind of like so softly. And I was like, well, I better get like, that was kind of lame. So I got to get the mills out of it. - Peel my dang irlis back. - But you're so tucked up. I couldn't do it on the sleeping bag like in your body. - Anyway, I was playing golf with Grandpa Ron the other day and you know how Grandpa Ron's thing is whenever he's putting, he goes, "Hey, CJ, turn around and listen." And then he tries to make the pot, it's classic, right? Just turn around and listen. So on the 18th hole, after him saying it all day, I go, "Hey, Grandpa, turn around and listen." And he goes, "Oh, he's laughing. He's thinking it's so funny." And he's like, "Cause I made a single putt all day." And I had like a 20 footer. And he's like, "Oh, this should be good, guys." You know what, I just will, okay? He turns around and he's like, "Get a load of this guy." I drain it. Everyone erupts, right? And then he's like running around the green. And he's like, "He made it, he made it." Not very often can you say that and it actually goes in. - Yeah, sure. - So it was your shot. - Yeah, it was a pretty electric moment. - The berry bonds of putting. - What he goes, you can only say that so many times and miss it 'cause after a while it doesn't carry any weight. But now after that you gotta hang it up. - Did you guys see this? I thought it was it's a different type of bike, but I guess it's a controller or Starks? - Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, I was saying. - Is this real, or it's not Starks, sorry, Surrah? - And I think we should do a video with him because we mess around with e-bikes all the time. This is very Cheeto, but it's cool. They're really controllers that hold you at a certain degree. It's crazy. - What? - Yeah. You guys haven't seen this? - I just figured Evan's seen it. It is Cheeto. - What are you doing? Just twist the throttle all the way in. - It's like riding, yeah, how the gyro does it for you. So you just twist the throttle? - Dude, what the heck? - Very Cheeto, but it's like you'll never know who can actually wheelie know it is. - Yeah, no, you can tell though, like if they're not fluctuating at all, like they're obviously using a cheat controller, but you can do the one hand, it's kind of cool. - You can cheat it with this. - Dude, this is crazy. - Yeah, I mean, the video is pretty cool. I think we should, I think we should try it. - Ken will be able to wheelie better than Evan. - Like, Ken can do that. - Oh shit. - Oh, literally just hold you. - It's even with the training wheels too, dude. - I mean, like he's obviously doing 70, 80% with no handers, like 80%, 80% went over the back, I guess. But yeah, pretty crazy. - Yeah, so it's just like a controller mod. What is it, it just like plugs in? I think it's like, you know how you have like your motor, your battery and your controller. It's like a modded controller. - And so how does it know the? - That I don't know, the gyro. - Nothing will be more satisfying that when some squid is relying on their bike to wheelie forum, they have no concept of the rear brake. - Yeah, you're toast when it fails. - I agree, like it's a novelty thing, you know. - I also kind of feel like you're my third grade teacher saying you're not gonna walk around with a calculator in your pocket. - Yeah. - You know, like every bike probably will have it. - And it won't even need to learn how to wheelie it. - Yeah, man, they took everything good from us. - Yeah, it's crazy to think that if all motorcycles were electric, like all of them are just starts. - They all could do that. - Well, I'm sure a die hard two stroke guy would be like, "Oh, you can't wheelie a two stroke, you got these newfound four strokes." - And I have engine brakes. - Yeah, exactly. - Yeah, that's true. - But that was pretty cool. Like I saw that and I thought it was the guy just doing it himself, but then I realized that it was. - Man, it's just like you got a wonder if things are a deep fake, if you're getting AI'd, if you're getting our C card. - When you're watching someone wheelie, you're like, do they have a modulator on it? - All right, I do like modulator, I gotta see. I gotta see Ken rip that though. - Dude, I think Ken could wheel you with that. - Yeah. (laughing) - I mean, you still got the sagas on. - Yeah, but you still got a hold on. - I agree, but still got a hold on. - And not panic. - I would panic the first bike, 20 trials. - Here's the thing though, you can't whiskey throttle. That's the best part. - That is good, but I would also still panic probably tip over to the side. - Speaking of not sure if you're getting AI'd, obviously everybody knows the bunnies on the trampoline and trampolines jumping on trampolines like they did, but there's this picture of this chihuahua with a pack of wolves. And I'm like, this looks like AI, right? But it also says in Ealy Minnesota. - Yeah, it makes it more believable in Ealy. - It's possible. - Because Ealy is like, I mean, how many people live in Ealy? - Unless they're literally about to eat that chihuahua. - But why wouldn't they already be mom? - Or they look like they're fake chihuahua. It might be fake. - That's what I'm saying, it could be fake. - It seems random, but also it is pretty funny. You have like a pack of wolves and you're like, what's something funny to put with them? - Chihuahua. - Yeah, I agree. - Chihuahua. - The biggest baby of a dog. - I'm really enjoying like using like the AI recreation images, but not going overboard. - Yeah, you have been doing that one pretty hard. - I just made the couple of the car and then I made the one of Ryan, really fat. - Those Ryan ones were so fun. - Really jacked. - Really jacked. - The Ryan ones up, like Ryan, you had to have seen this picture of you and gotten a little bit more motivated, right? - Bro. - Of being like, I was like, I kind of look sick. - That's what could happen. - I made that one in like Gemini, but I like not going overboard. Like I could essentially take every photo of my camera roll and do fun stuff and make it crazy funny, but then it wouldn't be that funny. Like if you just do a couple here and there. - Okay, so make one of these around like 20 instead of 40. - Yeah, so that's what was my issue. My prompt was like make the man on the quad insanely obese and then I said, it make the man in the background freakishly tall. - Ken kind of is looking like slender man. - I honestly think people don't even notice how tall Ken is because he's so fat. - I will tell you this. I posted the one of you looking ripped. Go to the one of you ripping, looking ripped. - I look sick as fuck dude. - Not gonna lie. - Dude, you actually, yeah. - That'd be a good look, Ryan. You'd have to get a bunch of tattoos, but I think you, I think you. - That would have to be so many hot bonroids. - But Ken being massive, I posted on my story and most, let's just say a hundred responses and 98% of them were about Ken. - Yeah, well yeah, everybody loves Ken. Nobody gets a shit. - Do I? - Maybe people think I just look like that. - You look pretty cool there. I'm not going to lie. - No dude. I never, probably the coolest I've ever seen you look. It's fucking fake. - You're gonna start it off your, your legs leave. You just gotta keep going. - It's funny actually because sitting on that quad is pretty hard to look cool. But like, it looks like I am cool. - It looks like you rip it. - Honestly a Raptor 700 is such a bodybuilder guy quad to have. - Yeah. - Like just ripping on the street. You know how my helmet is tucked like I just look like I know what I'm doing That's it's fun to do not go overboard with just you always look cool though. Thanks bud Mike when when you started sending these pictures in the chat I was like yeah, when did Mike get these little model cars? I thought that was real - you're one of your people are like where can I get a model car like it's not real bro That's so interesting to that the prompt is the biggest thing So I just got a screenshot from Facebook someone was nice enough to share it You know here's the prompt use the nano banana model to create a one seventh scale commercialized figure of the car of the illustration in the realistic style and environment Yeah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah I didn't hear the audio, but I saw the video and it looked Very different from the way it was originally cut people are gonna be it so entertained by it that I think that you are now the designated brand deal guy Like you did such a fantastic. I'm like we do the new Ryan like I get just Videos yeah, the thing is Ken is like people love you you've had this crazy character Storyline right from the beginning where you are right now and I think that it just Makes the most sense for the channel that or you're the designated. This is being filmed before that video goes live So let's wait and see they're good people loved it and I got a feeling that people love it I just think it's unfair like I had to start from such a point of neutrality, but everybody loves can do like Beautiful thing like like can just being can reading the script quick break in the video to bring a word for quick break Quick break in the video to bring a word from today's sponsor better help it recently turned 30 and it really made me stop Can as an excuse I I saw I saw what's on the channel, but the truth is life doesn't always line up Crossing in my thirties brought some real tough self-reflection I realized that I was measuring myself against old expectations and honestly it left me feeling a little stuck and really Overwhelmed I used to put off therapy because I thought it'd be complicated or maybe even intimidating But I realized that having someone else to talk to someone who can listen and help you look at things differently Really open up sad And you wrote it from the heart that came from the heart. I'm glad Yeah, it's sponsored by better help easier to start therapy You just fill out a short questionnaire and get matched with the therapist is little as it is And I did actually use for chat to So if you've been thinking about starting therapy click the link in the description or go to betterhelp.com/cboys TV So good you did a great job. It's gonna win an Emmy. Yeah, I know dude Ken showed me last night me and don't Win it with it. It's the best ad I've seen I think it's insane good. It's so good. It's the type of Walking to the shop at 9 o'clock at night. It gets just stand there with the camera tripod He's got chat GPT. Bro, he was grinding and then he goes up to Justin's office And he puts it in the software. He paid five bucks for to auto cut it for him and he says And then you took that cut and then you just threw it in the trash and started over You put no music on it. You put no links. You put nothing. Yeah, cuz I don't have any of that software I don't have any of the background music files in my community. I don't have any of those. Hey, I files yet No, I just love like we'll never be able to explain to better help or whoever the ad was for like why that will be so much more Successful but but I mean they just got a free plug on the podcast right here. We watch a whole dang ad better You're paid for that. When did you become such a natural Ken? Yeah, it took a while Beyond it. Did that come from the heart? No, that that script come from the heart. It's okay, but did that script came from the chat No, how does your chat know you that well? I legitimately gave it a good Your whole life story We needed to check in on you like that. I gave it a really good prompt I said come up with a good life story come up with this and then it just spit out a script I added a couple things and you couldn't even use your own life story like come up With some good life story. Well, you need to integrate like all the different talking points To know anything about them so that all thing was faith. We got to integrate all the talking points everything else It's like okay. I thought it was powerful. I saw that and immediately texted the rest of the guys and said do we need to check in again? You didn't text me that And he got you there. You didn't check in on me, so you didn't carry that much. I'm proud of you I'm proud of where you are in life. I you're the happiest. I've ever seen you. Yeah. I'm glad you're getting help again Is it working? We'll see I'm proud of you for working out, though, Ken. Thanks. You've been working out more than any of us Circles around us. I mean lifting. How many lifts you think you got in Kent or Micah? Realistically like six. I mean I modeled the last three days. It's got to count for something But like before that I didn't do anything for a month. Gosh, it's tough, dude like I don't love the gym I didn't either but you're starting to love it. Yeah, I could see that because you're actually Spending the amount of time in there. Ken doesn't miss a day. Yeah, you could go out be blackout drunk Tell two in the morning and you get up at seven Not quite that bad. He'd get up. I'd be there by noon and he'd be there No, I'm dead. He does get up and go because I mean lives with me. I see him. I hear him get up and go out All you'd have to do Mike is just wake up even 45 minutes earlier and just hit it the best time on the way to the shop Yeah, and then just shower at the gym and it's just a part of your routine But you can also do whatever you want. I find it hard to go to the gym in the summer and the winner no problem I'll run it every day, but in the summer I'm like I feel like I use so much energy doing other stuff That is good point because like after moving this week the past. Oh, yeah, I'm moving like I've missed the gym Yeah, oh, yeah, Ryan's moving to California. Yeah, that's Ryan, California As a jail fit right in No, it's called like god damn it anywhere but fucking California. Oh, yeah, Ryan going to just want to pay all those taxes I just pulled that straight out of my head. Oh, no, you did I know you did that's why you react Ryan's moving up Ryan moves Yeah, so you had a little bit number two. It's like fucking California, but shittier. Yeah, shittier weather Well, you guys are going to Vegas this weekend when we got going we got Dalton, Spenny, Micas. Yeah, homie, Jiff Yeah, I fired it up. I want to go this I want to go I want to go, but also it's just like too nice and I just know that we're gonna be Traveling soon all the time and I just can't justify it.

Yeah, we'll probably do some gambling I'd rather go to Vegas when it's freezing cold here and then you can kind of escape to the desert rather than go there when it's hot here And then it's gonna be hot and it's gonna be seven degrees in raining. Yeah, I Anything is that this weekend is gonna be shite here. Yeah, I mean, like it's, you know, like do you know how to travel? Okay, Mike's actually planning it like I know I got all of our light that's what super crosses light was the weekend Don't tell me that he was I was where you're standing he goes I don't know Mike's book in our hotel and I was like I've been meaning to talk with that's the one thing we don't have Mike, no, but here's the thing. We were down 36 hours so one Hotels are different than flights If you get not really, there's no way is that you know that you guys are flying when you're flying You're on a plane and it's only for a little while so there's you're telling me there's no way we get to Vegas And there's just like you know how you you might you could go to the airport and then be like hey I need a flight and they'd be like was all right. We don't have any for today But you're telling me I can't get to vague not this is a plan. Why don't you just book a hotel my I've got I want Ken to help I've got certain motels in Vegas I like to stay at and normally if you don't book like a month in advance or get a month in advance they they're just Eterotiously expensive or they're sold out. Well, I just figured it's like there's no way that we're just you're gonna End up staying at the Luxor or something. That's fine with me. I don't even know what the big beam like coming out the top Yeah, that sounds awesome. Is that place not good? No, I don't know what the bad and the good like hotels in Vegas are Good news is we got me and spending and me and spending travel really well together So we'll just not that's not gonna like you guys traveling well together is not gonna like get us a hotel though You actually did the hotels are cheap Night they're not worried about making money on the room. Oh really? Okay, I was under the impression the Vegas hotels were Relatively cheap for what you get sometimes cheap sometimes atrociously expensive. Oh good news the circus circus has openings 44 bucks. Oh, yes, I don't have I don't have any rooms book. It's okay. Dude. It was took everything out of me to see the flights books We're finally so it's direct that's nice not Delta Bro, we don't have the money for that. I was honestly looking up for YouTube. You paid for their stuff or no They are currently yeah, but I mean Easier if we pay maybe yeah, we can do the non-monetary favors. Whatever I believe he called them a backdoor Well, you guys might be sharing rooms. They'll be perfect. Well, I don't know Spenny said we're possibly getting a box. I have my buddy Corey's a Red Bull KTM semi-driver He hooked us up with some track walk passes track It's like VIP so before the main event they have like they do the practice and qualifying everything in the day said You can get Thursday Friday Saturday. Yep, and then you they bring out like a crowd of like a hundred people that wins They you can buy the ticket or whatever or you can win it and you can go on the track and walk the whole track And it's actually sick it's sick because then it really puts it in a perspective because you see the jumps on TV Yeah, and obviously those like their professionals they jump everything first try it makes it look easy on TV He's when you get there and like you're on all fours to climb up the finish line jump And it's insane like it just puts it in a perspective even just sitting in the stands. It makes it look so easy But it's gonna be dude. It's gonna be fun. So there's already a clean four of you going Yeah, there's four and then I think The two tick tockers Bryce Hall and Taylor Holder are gonna come with us. God if I see a single renegade Dalton hit a single fucking renegade on my free you page. You already know he's planning. He planned on hitting some If you've been working on your moves, have you been practicing your dances? I have not but I will say I think I'll be the last one of the group to embarrass myself around those guys I will not be hitting a single tick tock dance and making a single take time What's your rage bet post gonna be then Oh man, I don't think either of those guys make take talks anymore Bryce Hall is like a bear knuckle fighter Yeah, and Taylor Holder is a country music star. So turns out they love dirt bikes to really good They're pretty fun. They're both crushing it, but That'll be fun. Honestly, the fact that you're hanging out with those guys makes me want to go But other than that this guy's a little cloud chaser Am I go on my for you page and see is it no renegade I know blackout yeah the last nine years I'm always just clung to whoever's the most famous person around us That's why it lives with can dude. Yeah, I fucking really took it personal Yeah, it should be pretty sweet maybe do fire it up probably stay sober. You think real yeah, if you're doing it You're staying so much you Mike. Yeah, I suppose you got it. So you got I'll personally I will be but I mean I would not expect anyone else to be I've had some legendary Vegas experience as Mike I don't know if we can bring him up on the podcast already have I don't ever have I haven't seen that video what video Mike sleeping in the hall with oh That's a talk tonight. No more talking about we really don't have to talk about it. What happened then? Oh this was prior to that when you guys clogged the toilet Stacked on top. That's when you know you're sick. You're fucking sick. You there's like toilet clogged and you go I'm just so lazy. I don't want to find another bathroom and you just shit on top of it and then get this Nothing to do with it C.J. I lazy had nothing to do with me Vegas bender. I'm lucky. I didn't do it right in the bed by the time I made to the bathroom and looked at the Mass it was all I could do to spin around and sit down in time before it was everywhere and Then it happened for a third time to do it three times stack it three times imagine a poor cleaning lady Think about how nasty that splashback would be just to smell the What did you guys do it? How did you fix that problem? It was on the way out of the hotel room so we didn't Run. That's a triple hand rope cleaning lady that poor little cleaning lady. We should have left a hundred dollar bill or something more than that More than that. That is just being rude. That's just being disrespectful right there, Evan. It's insane Literally being disrespectful. I literally am walking down the hallway and I go look. They some drunk. I sleep The worst part of what it was even on the right floor. No, you were okay. You were just on the completely other wing Oh, okay, you were just laying down giving his legs a rest My you are so lucky that I found you didn't find you Mike. This isn't okay Mike you can hear the concern in my Evan's voice You're like passing on the hole when you 20 rooms away Ah Either way, I'm glad we got you out of there before a law enforcement. I think I think Security I think Dalton should do that this time around. Oh, do they want to see you eat in the banana I love this picture. He's got a tall can of twisted tea a cigar and a nanner I got done editing a video just vibing. Yeah, I was just happy man He is actually living good Those black guys living good back then, huh? I was so I got one quick topic Anybody paying attention to skateboarding lately the tray flip that Jocelyn finally did it the see up and the internet is broken No, the clips not oh, yeah, but they leave the thrasher cover was gonna know shrimp daddy has like a no it the clips not oh yet Okay, it was shrimp daddy. I see it, but oh, it's a I've seen him do it What he did it and stepped off the board like five years ago. No, no, like I saw the clip. I don't think that's real What what happened? What are you talking about just a legendary skateboard trick a 360 flip down El Toro No one's ever done it. He like did it like five years ago But when he was landing so hard his trucks were bending so he literally rides away Rides like five feet or something and kind of steps off and it's like a whole thing of like he didn't do it He didn't just cleanly right away, but he literally did it. But it's like just the gnarliest Stairs and he did it again, but somebody else. Yeah, no, he did it But they interviewed him after he always like ah, I just don't see myself ever doing it again It's such a battle he went so many times. He's like injuring himself. Yeah, how do you not and break your ankles doing that? Is that the spot at that school that there's like all the legendary how many stairs is it? I don't even know since it's like something like 25 or something or 20 Dude like but like Nigel Houston went there tried to get it couldn't like he's pretty much like dude It's just like not worth it. It's so That's crazy. How many steps is it 26 or 27 and then so like what what's the height difference on that? Probably almost a little maybe a little over a story The length that it's 20 stairs, but it's the length. That's the hardest part because Sprint and then jump that yeah, would you do that? No one would you know I'd be insane, but then to do it on a skateboard crazy and half the runs they do like they're not landing on the board They're taking that to their feet. Yeah, they're rolling out and rolling out like thing. Those like skaters are so good at falling and I have to be like learning how to tumble like Gavin is how you avoid getting hurt like Evan's good at tumbling It's been he's really good at tumbling. It's got every tumbles He just fucking greases everything. Yeah, but no, sometimes he can get out of a really sticky situation like something will happen Where he gets jammed up in the bike and like it would be catastrophic for anyone But then he just like cat likes down and it's just so nice kind of like run out of it Yeah, you can run out or he'll tum or he'll roll or I do get lucky on crash. This is the real one So it's just a sequence not the footage yet. I don't know I just thought it was pretty cool, especially because there's like a whole freaking 20 minute YouTube video About like a documentary thing about him like basically doing it, but not doing it And I think that was like quite a handful of years ago and he's literally like yeah, I just don't see myself trying it again Yeah, the fact that in my heart I know I got it like I understand like I wouldn't claim it because I didn't roll away And you know how skaters are you can't drag your hand you got to ride away. It's really claim it But he's just like ah, I know I got it. It's just whatever dude. I wonder if skateboarding is as relevant now as it was in like the 2000s to 2010s Obviously mainstream media. It's just not because it seemed like back then you had so many TV shows where it was like a skater and it was not necessarily revolver on skateboarding But like it just made it popular. It made it bad. It made people like kids want to try skate like you know Whereas now obviously there's probably I mean there's tons of it you see it online But there's not like any mainstream. There's also a lot of all or even really popular people that are not from that era But the core skate community community was never that stoked. I don't think any of them. Yeah, no, they don't like that shit But now there's like a lot of like mid grade people ripping Instagram clips like just sneaky I have but they're not famous. There's no right. There's no super famous skaters other than the ones that from that time and probably Nijia I do yeah, which I mean Nijia was famous back then too. That's chill. He's like a little kid ripping well CJ we Wanted to bring somebody in that we thought would be good for you to sit face-to-face with so we hit him up and If you want to come on in here, and let's just say he was happy to sit down and have a debate with you It's Jake Koulter running for Mayor of Fargo Welcome, Jake To meet you holy shit dude. Yeah, what's off? Yo, well, I'm on a side. Well, yeah, I don't know. I heard some jokes I heard some laughs. I mean, I mean I can't I just laugh at everything No, I'm gonna treat I think it's awesome I think it's I think it's awesome and if I was the North Dakota resident I would 100 and 50% vote for you And I think that anyone out here. Can is it just North Dakota or is it Fargo? It's just Fargo North Dakota Fargo. I think anyone Fargo needs to vote for Jake Koulter. He brought his boys for backup You look at it to roll you up in the parking lot see if this goes south Bro, I'm out here rooting for him. Yeah. No, thanks for hey. Thanks for coming out, bro. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you Thank you for having me so you saw the podcast clips. Yes, and then Hit you up. No, you made a TikTok and said anytime anywhere CJ lots or really? Yeah, I have a check in with me before you come to Fargo North Dakota Bro, people got to send me this shit. I'm so unnot tuned in. Did you actually? You know, let me on the podcast. I'd love to talk with you guys. Yeah, so explain how this all came to be. We'll start here. My friend Ken I may have nominated him. This is your time. Anyways, he's still a source subject, but I may have nominated him without telling him. Oh, and then the newspaper release and they're like You know, there's all these dogs running for mayor because I don't know how familiar I was with Cormorant, Minnesota But there was a there was a dog as a mayor and it was like a big deal back in the day. Yeah So a long story short two guys were running for mayor small town Not everyone really liked them really no one liked them and they're like Why don't we just elect this dog and the dog got more votes than the two guys ends up being the staying in Cormorant We got a dog mayor passes away in like 2016 and and we were mayorless for a while two summers ago They decided we need to get a new mayor in town and obviously a lot of the dogs were Uh, you know up for election. Yep, and my boy Ken. He's a dog in a different way And I was like we need to get him up on there. So we put him in the newspaper. He took it seriously and we ran him and honestly I think there was a corruption a lot of a lot of fraud behind the scenes They didn't want a human pretty discriminatory, but anyways, he lost and uh, then I saw you were running for mayor. Yep How's that come to be so you did this yourself all myself everything to this point has been by myself I've had help with you know some campaigning with you know representative TG Brown He's a representative in the horse Fargo area He's helped me out a lot with you know figure out my platform But you know most of it's been my making um, and I realized I can make a change in the city And also I realized that most politicians and a lot of people complain that most politicians are older guys like Elderly people and there's nothing wrong with that But I want to you know fresh start someone young so it's like I'm gonna put my head in the race I actually think that's a great idea because Honestly young people are the future so yes, and I said it on that podcast I said no one's gonna care more about the future than someone who's gonna have more time in it exactly so That's cool though, and obviously there's no age cut off No, I like oh 18 years old. Yeah, of course, but yeah, I think that was the biggest surprise to me because I was like I didn't know this was even possible Yeah, I didn't know exactly and you were just like that no one else had the had the nuts to do it exactly Ever since I was 16 I actually thought about running. Okay. That's cool. It's a little bit. It's not a it's not a whim It's not a whim. Yeah, I think about it for a while. How old are you 20 20 20 years old college, dude You could be the youngest I mean, what's the youngest mayor to ever be the city or the mayor of a city in Like they let's just say United States. Ken. What do you got? Oh, Ken still pissed about this. He thinks he should be the mayor I would assume you know since there's so many cities in our great nation Probably 18 probably somebody for a city the size of Fargo like 100,000 that would be it So looking it up right. I got. Yep. I got here So what has it been like like when did you start running and I guess when did your campaign start and What is it end when do you when you find out June 14th next year next year? Yep. Oh, so you got a year Yeah, I started I started quick. Is that pretty normal like to put a year of campaigning? Oh, usually it's like six months Okay, but I was like, you know, no one's in it So I'm gonna throw my hat in their first and you know I'm the only name out there. You're the only one running officially. Oh, I know who he's gonna run Yeah, I'm not gonna say their names because they haven't announced but what what do you think of the current mayor How good of a job or bad of a job are they doing and what would you do differently against what they are doing? You know, I think he doesn't do the worst job You know the city runs in the end But I just think too much money's been spent in in areas. We don't need to spend what I would do is you know We're having that private text issue. We're probably text just keep going up Like some guy knows paying five thousand dollars in private text with the specials as well Um, and my goal is not to raise private text anymore like be completely done with that and instead take the budget In certain areas of budget and decrease the funding towards it in areas that we don't need really need to put the money Yeah, and what you're running on is this like a different stance that You feel like other opponents are gonna run on or like how do you set yourself apart? I put myself apart because I feel like most of the most people won't think about decreasing the budget But honestly, I want to add to the reserves So we're gonna decrease that budget put money into the reserves And then when we have a big project like this convention center that we're building you know that's a hot topic We'll have money just in case we go over budget because I guarantee we'll go over budget on it We always go over budget on every project we do What I wish I lived in Fargo honestly you guys have way better taxes. Yeah, and Typically way better I'd say way better representatives and stuff like that government But were you born in Fargo? Yep, and have like a family history of impolitics or no really you're so you're just yeah your first one first one into it Yep, holy shit. That's so cool. Yeah, so do we ever figure out who like the youngest mayor that Ken goes again? This is crazy. There's been two mayors that were 18 years old in the US and then there's one 19 and then the next one after that was 22 So you're top five I'm top five, but it's gotta be I've never heard that I'd be the youngest at a hundred thousand Yeah, in a major city I'm sure and you know the way the wind it and this is one thing I want to say that um So elections usually won by older voters. I'll say because older voters they vote more they go on but 38% of eligible eligible voters Which is about 40,000 people in Fargo are around my age. So if I got even a quarter of those people to vote for me I would win I'd be the last election in my landslide They're because you won by 9,000 votes and there's enough young people to uh, I don't make a difference really absolutely Hopping on here is definitely I mean, I think that's good for you to do and uh man, I wonder like how we could help. I mean, I mean even yeah A lot of listeners in North Dakota. Yes, or is it they have to be in Fargo? They have to be in Fargo You do you ever have anyone like giving you a little backlash like They don't agree with maybe because you're younger and they say it to your face. Yeah, what do they say? It's just you know a lot of people like they they believe in what I say. It's just I'm too young. Yeah, they they like what I'm saying It's just my age. They're worried. You don't have the experience possibly. Yeah. Do you have the experience? Are you like nervous for it? I'm not nervous. I'm gonna give you that doubt You're just gonna get it down. You're gonna be chilling. I eat sleeping. Breathe this around right This is the solid what time you're waking up at oh the bed go to bed like 11 wake up at seven Yeah, so you're running pretty good numbers I'm great. I'm just a solid program. Yeah, it's getting plenty of sleep. And so I'm not sleeping Yeah, he's not sleeping in just checking. Just when's your birthday? August 19th. Okay. So after the election, I'll be Yeah, that'd be really cool. I mean you got my vote. I live in - Fargo. - How do you feel about getting into politics and then dealing with the hatred that comes with politics? 'Cause people hate politicians. - They do. - They really hate politicians. And when I originally was thinking doing it, politics wasn't really at this high point, but now that I'm running, 'cause I mean, four years ago that's when I was thinking, politics were a little bit of high point, but it wasn't like where it's at now, where it's like, I'll post a video and there's be constant hate comments. - Yeah, really? - Yeah, I didn't see any on the Facebook post. - Most of them are actually censored. Like, Facebook will censor them. - Oh, really? - But if I post something, I can see the censored ones. So, yeah, I read 'em. - And there's talking shit. - Oh, yeah, I tell you what they're saying. - It's like, oh, you're too young, you're inexperienced, you're stupid. That type of thing, but. - Either side of the aisle, you're gonna have that, though. - Oh, yeah, exactly. - I feel like right now you have to have incredibly thick skin to just be able to brush that off. 'Cause no matter what you do, you're pissing off 50% of the people. - Yeah, that's a thing. - Whatever it is. - Whatever it is. - What else is included in being like the mayor of Fargo? Like, what do you have to do? I guess I'm almost unfamiliar with like, what's the role of being a Fargo mayor? - Yeah, it's pretty much managing a bunch of departments, like your police department, you have your Fargo department. Sometimes, it depends on student commissioners and deputy mayor. They'll take over certain different departments. So, that gets a little separated out. But basically, just the overall run of the city makes sure everything's flowing constantly. And, you know, I brought the snow plow. - Yeah. - That was pretty fun. - I liked your jokes about that. But, yeah, I mean, would you run a snow plow? - I would run a snow plow. - So it takes? - I would. - I feel like you should get a snow plow or your campaign vehicle. You need some kind of campaign vehicle. - I do need a campaign vehicle. - You do. - Dude, if that's your thing, though, of saying like, all run a snow plow, if that's what I gotta do, you should get a snow plow. - What's your, what your ideal campaign vehicle be? - Honestly, I don't know. - Well, we have some ideas. - I rocked a PT cruiser. - I did use my ideas that you guys had. - Yeah, I don't think we can do the PT cruiser. - I hadn't lost. - Have you heard of a Chevrolet SSR? - Yes. - I think that's gonna hit a lot harder with the older crowd, too. They see you in that, they're gonna be like, "Oh, maybe we do like this guy." You know what I'm saying? - Or what's the other one that has the wheels? - Limit the prowler? - Yeah. - Have you heard of that? - I have, yeah. - Which one would you rather be rolling in? - Honestly, I think the prowler's way cooler. - I think the prowler's way cooler. - For sure. - It was way more expensive though. It was out of the budget for Ken. Yeah. - What did he wear? - I mean, I was looking, it was pretty expensive. - Oh, yeah, both the SSR and the prowler, but both of those are in similar price ranges. Snowplow, I see your googling. That's just a lot cheaper. - Dude, if you win, mayor, can you give us the key to the city for a day? - It's like a theoretical key. - Theoretical. - Theoretical, you know? - Key to the city, dude. - Yeah, what do you think about how they'll basically - What do you think about kind of all the talks about downtown Fargo right now? It seems like the narrative is that it's really dangerous and there's a lot of bad shit going on. Like, what do you think about that? You have any plans on like, how do you clean that up? - That's one issue I've been running into because I actually went down to town after I read a bunch about it. I went downtown and really just kind of saw how many people were on the streets, you know, just sleeping or, and there's a lot. There's a ton of people. You know, we were talking about it on the podcast before this, my parents have a chiropractic office not far from downtown Fargo and some random dude was just walking by and he just decided to just beat the shit out of my dad's car. - No way. - Yeah, just beat the shit out of it and he's probably on drugs or something. - Definitely, yeah. - And then luckily the cops caught him like 20 minutes later. - Oh, okay. - So I mean, they're definitely doing their job but it's a little late in terms of saving the car. - Yeah, definitely, yeah. - But yeah, dude, it is crazy down there. - It is and the problem is like, you know, people who are addicted and people who are homeless and I want to help those people, but I worked at a federal halfway house. I don't know if I can say the name of the place, but in reality a lot of people don't want to get better. And that's the problem. You can only help people who really want to get helped. - I agree. - So we can keep trying and pushing, but there's a point in which these people don't want to help anymore and not much we could do. - Yeah, as far as funding goes, it's like you don't want to, things you do, you don't want to enable them. - Yeah. - 'Cause it really is a tough issue. - It is a tough issue. - What about, I mean, it's not all homeless, so it's also just like, it seems like there's like, gang bangers, I would call them. - Yeah. - Like there's actual like thugs now that aren't homeless. Like maybe they're doing their selling drugs doing, I don't know what they're doing. I used to go downtown Fargo all the time back when I was when I was younger, close to your age, and it was super fun. I mean, you'd maybe see a fight once a year. Like there really wasn't any issues and I felt pretty safe down there and now it's like, I mean, I haven't been there any years. I mean, I'm a little old to be cruising around downtown Fargo on the weekends, but it was like, I hear about it. - It's been a couple, it's just like shooting, - Yeah, there's no murders, yeah. - I mean, just the idea of being out there trying to have a good time and then getting hit with a straight bullet. - Exactly. - It's not good. It's supposed to be safe in Fargo. - It's supposed to be, but that downtown's really what brings us down, and I went downtown and I actually counted how many cops. There were seven cop cars just around that one block. It's like, we could have police presence out there, but it's really hard to stop. I mean, gang violence is extremely hard to stop. We'd have to find the source of it and the issue is, I mean, funding and our police force. It's large, but there's a lot of issues in our police force. I don't know if you guys know about many of those issues, but. - I don't want, I guess I'm not familiar. - We've had like 50 resignations since our police chief signed in. - Really? - And it's just a toxic work environment. - Really. - So honestly, possibly changing leadership, could benefit this? - Well, yeah, I mean, that is an interesting trend. I mean, there's no doubt being a police officer is a hard job. - Yeah, for sure. - Like, it's very easy to mess up, and it's also, it's kind of thankless. When even when you're doing it really well. And yeah, I don't know, it's just a dangerous job. - So you think there needs to be more presence downtown? - I don't think there needs to be more presence. There's a lot of presence, but maybe, I mean, we just need to build a police force in general for other areas as well. Because there are areas that there is gang violence and there's not that many cops. - Yeah. - Because downtown's bound to have a lot of cops. - Right, and I think you're gonna have that really in any growing big city, and Fargo is now kind of getting to that spot, but it's like, why is it? It's like, you don't wanna create like, this safe haven for that environment. - Exactly. - Like bad people follow bad people, it seems like, and so if you kind of just get rid of that, and then they don't have that environment, maybe. - Yeah, the goal is to not, I don't know how you guys feel with Minneapolis. The goal is not to become like Minneapolis's downtown. - Minneapolis. - There's plenty more. - Yeah, nobody could even argue that. - I've set it on this podcast. I mean, we go all over. And I truly think downtown Minneapolis is one of the more dangerous places we go. And like, we go like Vegas, Chicago, Miami, all these places, and I honestly feel the most, we even went to the city with no law, slab city, it's a military base in the desert, where like, just a bunch of, just nomads, like squatters all huddle, and there's no cops or anything there. I felt safer there than downtown Minneapolis. - But once you're in mayor, just send your boys out on the street, and just make sure that they're just clean it up. - Yeah, but it is, it's just like a fine line between wanting Fargo to grow and keeping that small town. Like when I, thinking back when I would go downtown, I would feel like I could go anywhere, and it was like, I was just hanging out. Like you go from one bar to another, it's like going from a friend's house sort of thing. Not like, all right, we're going on the sidewalk here. They wanna be scared. - Yep, obviously you want that for any city, but. - So what's three things that you are hoping to change if you get elected as mayor? - I have three on my platform, and it's taxes, holding a proper tax and possible decrease, and then public safety with the police, and then overspending, which comes with the convention center. - So stopping it. - Stop the overspending. We're, all of our budgets, like we budget 40, the 45 million for this convention center, I almost can guarantee it's gonna hit 50 million. - Yeah, it always seems to go up. - Where is this convention center? - There's three proposed areas, but I'm not sure which one they're choosing. - It hasn't locked in yet, okay. - And do you feel, so if you want to win the young voters over, what motivates one young voters to get out and vote for the mayor, right? Like how much would you being the mayor affect their lives? And what do you think is the biggest effect on their lives? What do young people care about right now? - I think, well, young people, what I personally care about too, is being seen. You know, young people, it's like you're always in the shadows of your parents and other generations, but it's now time for our generation to become doctors, lawyers, politicians, start integrating to society and make society what we want it to be. And I think what can motivate people to go is, I'm your voice for any young voter out there. I'll speak, I always do great things for my generation, and other generations. I'm not only saying I'll do great things for young people, but I just think I'm your first voice and it starts in the city. - Being, I guess, younger and obviously wanting to do things like when we started our YouTube channel, everyone thought that we were idiots and you're always going against public opinion. And that isn't easy to do. And so you running this campaign and wanting to be the mayor and everybody looking at you that you're too young for it, like you're going to face criticism and you got to have thick skin and you got to be okay with people laughing at you, calling you crazy, right? So I personally think it's awesome that you're doing it. I hope that, you know, there's people listening that can rally behind what you're campaigned is running on and you can be the voice for them but just keep at it because you're you got to You're gonna have to face the criticism. Oh, yeah even starting this soon I mean starting this young and whether you win or not like pro you're gonna have such a leg up. Oh, if you stay at this exactly and Yeah, I mean so if you were to win is there a certain period of like you can only be kind of like the president like you can only be Oh, yeah two four-year terms. That's so I mean you got plenty of time move the Congress at that point though Exactly, that's what I'm saying like you can then you keep going up exactly and even if I don't win It's like I'm putting everything on the table. You know, I'm meeting with you guys. I've been on TV I'm campaigning. I'm doing everything I can you know like I said I eat sleep and breathe this campaign So if I lose I know I put everything out there and I did everything I could to do it ages Which really getting me but I tried my hardest I did my best and I know great things will come whether I win or lose Would you want to go on to like the house or Congress or definitely you don't really meet that many politicians? I feel like especially around us like young politicians Yeah, but I I've never met it like a senator or a house representative away from them No anything like yeah, I don't know though. I mean yeah, I guess I've just never met one Yeah, my dad ran for state rep against Paul Mark Bart over the soda. Yeah, it was interesting. It was a fun time of campaigning a lot of parades And he just was like wanted to change in his life, but it is interesting if you would have kept at it So again, it's like if you were to lose the the leg up that you have on the the next time around It's like incredible you for state representative, you know, but yeah people they can't say there's they can say a lot of things But they can't say you're not serious about it exactly do mayors have like the conservative party you it's not partisan But you can sign got it. Okay, and and what's the current mayor? He's a Democrat got it. Yeah, so how many Democrats can run and how many conservatives can run like is it unlimited amount Is it going to just be two and you're either picking one Democrat or one Republican for the mayor It's an unlimited amount and you you can't technically side and say you're a Republican. I can I mean I could say I'm a Republican But like when we're voting it doesn't say like Jake Kulter Republican party got it. Yeah, okay Well, the people might be ready for a change then exactly if they don't if they don't want to vote Democrat They're looking to vote Republican and if you're running at the front of the Republican party or I guess they're not doing it by party But they like your views then there you go. Yeah, man. We're rooting for you Thank you. Where can they find you? Oh on tiktok culture for mayor and then Instagram Jake Kulter Those are two places that I post constantly on Twitter too. I guess culture for mayor and then also my website www.kulterfirmair.com. Awesome anything culture for mayor. I do want to say I guess just to clarify and I think I clarified on that podcast Yeah, the reason I initially thought it was funny is because I had nominated one of my young friends as mayor And everyone thought it was ridiculous But for me it was just a joke so then I was like just I've never heard of someone young running for mayor And I thought is he pulling a prank on people and then I realized the more I looked into it that you're very serious about Yeah, and that's when I was like dude I'm back in this guy like I like him and I do have one thing could I could I yeah bring it in bring it in Dude it's nice like I got surprised like I genuinely it was like bro I thought you were bringing someone else I thought you were bringing funny I thought you were bringing in the Vikings cheerleaders.
