Kens Racing History, CboysTV's Questionable Investments, & Youth Sports VS Powersports

But how do you feel about being a stepdad? Depends on the kids, I don't know. Bro, tell the camera what you did in them earlier. I sh** myself, but that's fine. A lot of people do that every day. If we didn't get snow this year, all the snowmobile companies were going to go bankrupt. We've kind of exploited your life. Do you think that it has now helped your love life or possibly made it even. It has actively harmed it. This is getting way too drug out. I have so many photos of Ken and moms on my phone. Why do you think that middle-aged women are so into you, Ken? I mean, it's a pretty long list. Just explain. From your point of view, I have my own theories, but I'm curious on yours. I think there's a few different factors. When was the last middle-aged woman you took down? Dalton, you can shut the hell up over there. Let's hear your factors, Ken. I don't know. I just think there's a few factors. Older women, they like a younger man. Still a little, you know, loose. Oh! Anything but that! Their moms don't. Let me rephrase this. They're still in the prime of their life. They're not, like, on the downslope yet. You? Yeah. You are, Ken. You're catching your stride right now. I feel like you really are, especially with all these moms finding out about, you know, the services that you're providing. It seems like they're just coming in in droves. I wouldn't say droves, but there's a steady stream. Do you think that, like, we've kind of exploited your life, you know, your whatever you want to call, you know, the things you do? Some of it's exploitation, some of it's fabrication. Okay, so let's just say we exploited some of your things you like to do. Do you think women are now like, oh, I don't want to, like, get involved with him because then they're, like, afraid they might be put on? Yes, yeah. More harm than good, though? Lately, it's been. Like, it's, like, two steps back. I'd say it's about. Five steps forward. Some is good, some is bad. About neutral in the long term. Right now, heavily on the bad side. You don't think that us kind of exposing that you are into moms, of middle-aged moms, has not increased. I'm not into. Increased that you're. I'm not into every middle-aged mom, though. I don't. No one expects you to be into every middle-aged mom. Some of this, it's just getting a little too far. Like, some of this has been a little exploited a little too heavy and needs to kind of pump the brakes on this. Like, do you feel like you go to, let's just say Zorba's, and then they're like, oh, there's Ken. I have a very clear shot with him because he's into middle-aged women. Do you think that has turned up those occurrences? That, yes. But I'm not necessarily. Some of these middle-aged moms, I'm not looking for some of them. I'm looking for a little younger, and then all these middle-aged moms just keep flocking to it. Like, they almost expect you to. Because we've played it up a little bit. Because it's been played up super heavy. And then they're probably. Pretty more than a little bit. Their feelings are probably hurt. They're like, what the frick? Like, they probably go home feeling bad about themselves. That's how the heavies feel about Gav, too. But, I mean, Gav normally falls through. Well, yeah. I'd say Gav normally falls through. He does, but, I mean, it's like, it'd be like saying Gav is into every heavy that. Crosses path. It's not possible. That's life, man. You know? It's not everyone. You know? They just can't expect, just because he likes middle-aged women, that he's going to like her. I mean, Dalton's into girls. We don't just expect him to be into every single girl. I mean, I don't think that's a problem, Ken. Ken, do you think as you age up, the women will age up? Or do you think you're going to stay the same age as you get older? Like, you know, are you going to Leonardo DiCaprio it? Or are you going to, like, grow with him? I don't even think he. Leonardo DiCaprio it is. Very bad. Yeah. Well, the middle-aged version of Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonardo has, like, a 25 rule, doesn't he? And I don't even know if Ken's trying to go 25. No, no, that's what I'm saying. But, like, he gets older, the girls stay the same age. Oh, yeah. Are Ken's. Is he going to stay middle-aged, or is he going to move up? I think he'll stay in that bracket for now. You're going to keep him the same age. And then maybe once we get a little older, then we can adjust from there. So, I guess just for the middle-aged women listening right now, the moms, what is this? Window. Like, 35 to 55? I'd say 26 to 35. 26? That's pretty low-end from what I would have expected you to say. That doesn't seem like your window. 26 to 35? I was going to say you're. You guys are just gaslighting me. Your window's 60 to 85? No. No. We're just calling it as we've seen it, Ken. It seems like it's more so. What are you. 35 to 45. Make it look like this man is standing next to a 45-year-old woman. Who has 17 children, and they're all 18-plus. Is that the props you're putting in there? 17 children? No, I said a family of four. Okay, and that was just because I didn't have any photos of your family photo. Yeah, I had to just recreate what the family looks like without actually exploiting the actual family. You just created fictitious children, or what did you do there? Yeah, I got a couple of fictitious children. At home? Depends on the kids. I don't know. I've never been in that situation, so. But, like, if they're chill, you're cool with it? I mean, I don't know. I've never been in that situation or stuck around long enough to care. They usually don't introduce you to the kids, huh? Right, yeah, usually you've got to go. It's got to be weird, because most kids would probably know who you are. Evan is a big. He is a big advocate for the snack. Snacks? Well, yeah, because they've got kids that always have snacks. As long as they've got Uncrustables in the house, Ken's good. All right, we'll move on, we'll move on. So, CJ, you think somebody stole your knife? Yeah, which one of you guys stole my fucking knife? Dude, no one cares about your knife enough to steal it. First off, digress a little while you still have a knife in your hand. Let's step back a second. Hold on, hold on, maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. Can I hold that for you? You are. Which one of you guys stole it? No, no, I'm just kidding. Yeah, no, actually, I know for a fact it was Ben, because I was playing with it in my meeting, and Ben was sitting next to me, and I set it down for just a second, and then Ben picked it up and was kind of playing with it, and I was like, okay, this guy's playing with my knife. I did. He's got his eyes on it. He fucking played with it for over an hour. Oh, my. Long enough for me to forget about it, and then I haven't seen it since. I don't know how to tell you this, CJ, but I didn't steal your knife. And if I wanted to, I would just go into. Go into our warehouse and grab one. No, you wouldn't, because they're all sold out. Right when we got back from break, you were like, I love knives, this is so sick, I love our Life Wide Open knives, and you're like, yeah, I carry this thing everywhere, and then you literally got up and walked out of the building without it. So you have it. No, I gave it back to you. Did you? I was like, yo, CJ, the knife you talked about that you love so much, you just left. Did you check? You can't be leaving your knife unattended. Did you check the meeting room where the knife got lost? Yeah, he was fiddling with it way past the meeting room. I don't know where it went. It just kind of pissed me off, because that was my favorite knife. Maybe check Ben's car. I don't have Ben's pockets. Yeah, check Ben's pockets. I don't have it. Check his belt loop. I think he's jealous, because he saw how much fun I was having with my knife, and then he was like, I want a knife. Well, all the knives sold out. We got more coming, and you needed a replacement anyway, because you're snapping it so much. The only way for him to freaking get one was to steal it. If I was a klepto and I wanted to go about it that way, that does make sense. So are knives similar? Similar to watches. Obviously, you can buy a million, $30, $100 cheap knives, and then are there knives that are just thousands? Yeah. It just seems insane. That's a lot of knife for $1,500. Yeah, I mean, it seems insane to have a pocket knife that's over a G. I guess I haven't looked at anything more expensive than that. I'm not trying to spend a grand on a knife. Watches are obviously way more. Careful, it might happen. Next thing you know. I don't know what the resale. on knives really is, but I'd imagine it depreciates. Some watches go up in value. Right, yeah. But I have no idea. You know, a knife is more than just telling you the time, you know? You don't need to know the time when you have a knife. It's protection. It's protection. It's security. Survival. So how many knives are you up to these days? None, because he lost it. One now. I only have one now. Kind of bullshit. At least it matches your outfit. You're awfully fucking green today, buddy. I know. Permit the frog. And the worst part is, like, all of it is just, like, a little bit different. Like, at least it could have matched, but what are you going to do, you know? I work with a bunch of dudes, and unfortunately, I'm on camera for millions of people to see. It's fine. Your forearms could look like literal Cheetos. Dude, I lost all my long-sleeve shirts over the past month. I bought four fresh ones as cold season hit. I got one. I don't know where they are. So, Ev, we're actually. Probably with your knife, honestly. We're trying to develop a garment just specifically to you. I don't know if there's a big market for it anymore. Oh, the long-sleeve? The sewed-in? The sewed-in? I don't like that. Oh, okay. It's got to be two different shirts? Yeah, or else I just feel like you're faking it. Yeah, we can cancel that. Sorry, cancel that. Cancel the truckload of that. Maybe other people would like it, so then maybe it is a good thing. I used to run that quite a bit when I was a kid. when I was growing up. - Well, and the best-- - And then when I got the one that was actually built in, is so much better but what happens it right now if i start overheating oh i just lose the long sleeve and i'm still running a short sleeve it's layers and like it serves a purpose so this is more of like a sweatshirt looks more like a sweatshirt so it's got a hood now i got your attention back yeah you're okay so so you could run that same setup that you're running right now but if you want to wear a sweatshirt over the top keep the same look and then drop that layer you're still rocking that i think i don't understand what you just said it does not compute so it's a a t-shirt over a sweatshirt yeah but it's a sweatshirt look so it's like a it's like a sweatshirt on top of a long sleeve more more so we'll figure like a vest we'll work on the details of it all right i'll run it past you before we we pull either way more of the story is it's not an aesthetic thing for me it's a uh function thing for me it's cold i wear long sleeves i get warm i take care of my skin i take care of my skin i take care of my skin the long sleeves off but i don't like rolling my sleeves because then you have a pressure of a pinch point at your elbow from your long sleeve rolled up now you have poor circulation guaranteed arm pump immediately from a stylistic standpoint i think you're killing it one might be able to argue that you could flip-flop it and then you wouldn't have to take both shirts off to get the t-shirt back on that's a good point wouldn't you i could take this shirt off the long sleeve without taking the short sleeve off right now do it that's pretty impressive i'm gonna have to take my headphones off though let's see it wait can you actually for the record for the record shout out to mr bean because he took his underwear off without taking his jeans off one time that's impressive i would ask you to do that but i know that you've been having a rough day in your pants today so let's keep your underwear on what situation do you get yourself into where you need to do okay like why it looks like he's just taking his bra off take my tarp off if i was at like a restaurant but like i could just do this this is pretty smooth it is smoother than i think it's not bad it's not bad that's not good little party trick you know yeah that was good but the underwear one i don't got that i don't know my thighs are too thick or what but there ain't no way i could deal with my underwear yeah i mean respectfully nobody wants you to do that with your underwear after the day no i i changed i changed them okay good yeah did you throw them away uh no they're on my floor what bro tell the camera what you did in them earlier well i shit myself but that's fine a lot of people do that every day like i swear to god i don't know how many people are listening to this but say there was a hundred thousand there's thousands of people probably that that that would be like you know what no no no no not a day but would be like yeah dude last tuesday yeah i kind of sharted too like how many times a month do you shit your pants it depends on the month but how many times this month in the last running 30 days in the last 30 days a few hat bushel i love how like unfazed you are by it because some people would be like oh this is really getting to be a problem i can't keep shitting he doesn't mind telling everyone it's not like the end of the world what did forrest gump say that's like a box of chocolates he did say that but he also said shit happens was that really forrest gump like kind of an original line no no no not probably not original but that he did say that when the guy was looking for the catchphrase and he's like shit happens and then it became a bumper sticker or whatever yeah i guess so f i guess so either way i try to avoid it sometimes it happens you at least go wipe or take a shower or anything between then and now yeah but i had to wait like five hours from the time it happened that was the problem but i'm good now man you gotta have some trust issues trust i fell off of ken's snowmobile the second i hit the ground it was trust has nothing to do with it i maybe have impact issues or i don't know what issue i had loose stool you got loose stool not a hinder stool oh boy here we go again like it's a constant gamble okay you really love gambling this this really is what stems the problem we had a keg of beer the other day so i got into some a bushel of keg beers and i laid down in bed last night i remembered i just got a fresh uh unit of uh flamin' hot funyuns they're expired oh yeah and they're expired i got them out of the bargain bin at the gas station but either way i ate the whole goddamn like it's like seven servings of flamin' hot funyuns on top of a dozen beers like i i think that's what what happened yeah what goes into your body makes complete sense of what happens afterwards but that's how you shit yourself five times a month not five times every month probably five times this month but starting off the year expired funyuns is probably one of the safest things to eat not even anything other than getting stale there's nothing to go bad in them it's not like you're eating expired eggs that's spice though yeah but there's so many preservatives and that's what i mean it's not even hardly food go quite a ways beyond the expiration date i think that it has nothing to do with the expiration date being six months ago it has solely to do with it's fucking funyuns and they're spicy and beer and whatever else the beer just needed a little bit of of something to turn into something to shoot out of something yeah i mean you drink a lot you drink enough beer like the next morning you got the beer shits that's just that's just fact my stomach it's kind of like packing a black powder rifle it is you know whatever you throw down there it really like your stomach is it can handle a lot i mean i've seen you eat a lot of things but you know speaking of the eggs uh do you guys see i think it's called vital farms it's like this expensive organic eggs that like a lot of people pay a lot of money for to get these you know organic eggs they basically got exposed for like it being a sham uh yeah basically a sham i mean technically most stuff that's labeled organic and non-gmo and free range yeah i mean i don't know if most stuff's like that but they got called out and they got caught and like basically like they had all these chickens right they were saying they're free range and like they'd show out like you know the chickens like however many and like you're talking about all these chickens right they're saying they're free range and like they're super size me too i have no idea what you're talking about i'm talking about something that just came out in like december i heard that super size me guy was boozing the whole time and that's why he got so fat well that was super size me one dealt with mcdonald's and him getting fat super size me too just exposed all those labels when i but yeah the free range chicken thing just meant the barn door was open and there was a fence across it and the chickens are the exact same they're the exact same as the other ones but they sold for twice as much people and people thought they were healthy but they're literally the same chicken same farm the barn door was just open and the legal definition for that has not changed since then people i think the chickens are like running around that's basically the short of it really but uh and it's like obviously some of the chickens could be outside but like the majority of them they're in this huge ass barn they don't even know it because they're fucking packed and they want to be in the shade they don't even want to go out in the sun anyways a lot of these or you know what i mean they i don't know yeah and then they like test the yolk and basically there was i don't know what the term it was but they're that they used but like it was like the worst compared to other eggs like it had lower or higher of something bad you know damn so what happens after a company like they're getting canceled bro like do they have to shut down or are they just socially canceled i don't know i guess private equity came in and kind of fucked up their whole business like it was at one point organic and then then they had to sell to every walmart in the country so i'd love to hear it though because like i'm the guy that's gonna buy like the 88 cent carton of eggs yeah and then these people that are spending seven or ten dollars or twelve i don't know how much but and then they find out that's just like yeah it's like whenever we talk gas ken's like all gas comes from the same place it does it actually does line up in fargo you'll see every single brand of gas tank out out front of the uh the distribution center is or they're all the same even in canada i don't know about canada so you're not talking about like 87 91 there's holiday there's yes you're saying every gas station is a gas station you're saying every gas station is a gas station you're saying every gas station is serving it's the same gas but shell is really the only one that's saying they put the additives and shit they all put different additives in there that's true but so then it's different so you're paying for the ad or you're paying for the additives it's all different it's the only difference there you go and they put those in at the gas station i have another hot take i don't think that all recycling bins actually get recycled none of them do wow i think all right i think recycling is much more like prevalent to be real uh on coastal places they can't let garbage like even be near the ocean but in the inland i think the recycling just goes to landfill so why do you think they do it then still the only things that actually get recycled are paper glass and metals everything else it just goes straight to the landfill so they are just goes to a different pile it's a landfill what about those water bottles right there it says made with recycled plastic comes from china but we can't export our plastic recycling to china and this guy is wondering why his pants are dirty i don't think he is wondering pretty self-aware in that aspect uh yeah no i've seen a uh a straight up garbage truck back up to a recycling bin and dump it in and so i'm always telling greta because greta's like super like green recycle this and i'm like it's going to the same place and it's just more work on my end all our plastics used to just go to china for recycling but since they cut that off five or ten years ago it just goes straight to the landfill so it's just going to the straight to the landfill. There's no way that it was any better for the planet shipping all our plastic to China. china there's no way it was and then what what is china doing throw it in the ocean with the car batteries were they able to like melt it down but their emissions were better like we wouldn't have been able to do that well they have zero emission that that's what i meant they don't have the the mission regulations like we couldn't recycle plastic because we'd be polluting i guess that's probably what i mean i'm guessing i don't know i think it's like a net negative thing it's just make people feel better yeah all i know is i actually have been recycling the past bushel of years only because i get a free recycling bin like so you might as well fill that up otherwise my garbage can's over full yes exactly i'm the same way i was like i might as well use it because my garbage can's always full so if you recycle some of it yeah when i uh moved to the city in dl they were like you have to have a recycling bin i'm like ah that's cool and they're like you have to pay for it either way whether we give you the bin or not i was like oh i'll take the bin then interesting yeah when i said it was free maybe i was just required to pay for it i don't know yeah it just came with when i signed up for garbage service and they come every other week you can't just burn your garbage in the city you don't just burn your garbage mike just that dude that was like that was like one of my like main chores you know clean the dishwasher out shovel snow and burn garbage you were burning garbage that was like literally one of my weekly chores really my neighbors uh when i was a kid used to burn garbage yeah and it was like we lived in like a lake neighborhood like there was houses everywhere they just like burn garbage in their front yard when we went to the county fair when we were little kids they had garbage burning no they had this wheel so it was some environmental thing i don't know what it was but it's for little kids you spin the wheel and they would ask you a question and they asked my sister i don't know she's probably like five or eight or something and they ask her like should you burn garbage or something like that my sister says yes because growing up my grandpa lives out in the middle of nowhere and as kids we would burn garbage because that's what you do when you live in the middle of nowhere and she didn't get a prize and my mom didn't give her the prize well maybe they did either way but my mom was like embarrassed or whatever just burn it yeah they gave her a stern talking to not only did she get it wrong she got in trouble i actually got a gift for uh your mom ev that i'm working on right now a knife no it has nothing to do with knives i'm not giving patty a knife are you gonna tell me or is this a secret uh it's a short video segment of you taking her drifting in the miata that never got used really i wanted to get give you it for christmas i i already gave it to john he doesn't know how to look at it though he doesn't you just gave him the raw footy you said oh the raw footage ain't gonna do it and my dad uses a fucking samsung he doesn't even know how to look at it i have a i have a fucking drop box edited segment oh that's awesome put together cutting between gopros everything for the record what you sent him he's essentially not it he can't okay well then maybe something worked but a four minute segment nice like as if it was putting into a youtube yeah yeah google drive yeah but i mean that's not i guess too surprising that he can't watch it i think we should do a segment where we teach all of our parents how to drift my mom wants to learn she rode with evan i was pretty stoked i think she enjoyed it you guys had a drift first i mean including myself but dude i'm jones and to get done with this podcast and just go drive around in my focus rs doesn't it so roads are so good right now like i'm just sliding everywhere it's so much lower consequence isn't it a little bit a little bit of snow yeah yeah perfect snow i feel like drifting in snow has not that much equivalent to drifting on asphalt or concrete no it's completely different but it also completely different it's completely different but it also completely correlates but i do like it's throttle control it's it's i don't know like you're just sliding and whereas you're getting used to the feeling yeah i think it teaches you some basics that you would have a tough time learning otherwise and you know it gets you prepared for that the biggest thing is is the grip difference i mean it's like a one speed of it like you can just slide by just tapping it in any vehicle and just kind of slippery yeah but if you get comfortable sliding like that you're a lot better off sliding comfortable like 10 miles an hour on the ice or the snow than like 30 or more on asphalt i've been whipping the hummer pretty good with the snow but but the traction control comes on i figure i gotta like pull my speed sensors or fuse or some electric things too smart i know it's like a tesla a guy was out with a your old tesla what is that tesla model x yeah and he was like can i go spin it on the drift track i was like yeah i don't think it'll let you though i don't think it'll let you though i don't think it'll let you though he got out there and it was just it was the saddest thing he would try and slide and then it would just stop like even my cyber truck if i don't like put it in off-road mode and like purposely disable stability control you cannot get it to slide at all i was gonna say how how could he not slide on snow when i watched ken's cyber truck literally blow the tires off on a hot summer day on asphalt different the model y the model x you cannot turn stability traction control off that's so lame why would elon do that how did uh our buddies that made the minivan do it then uh that was a model s with plaid and you can on that but not on the model x plaid you can't do it on that you guys see all that snow in russia crazy actually okay i just about to blow your mind bro there's i've never seen anything like it it's been going around and there's ai ones and that's what i'm gonna show you guys first and they've been saying that it's not ai oh that's i just someone where all the kids were sliding off yes so this this is the ai but at the end of this video it says like the guy put it through a checker is like look it says it's not ai weird all right let's look at the real ones and then the last one looks somewhat real i'd say and then uh sleds boys this one sled trip in russia would be insane this one's actually real like the whole fucking town's buried in snow but we're not just talking like tahoe oh like my cabin door got buried that's cool we're talking like snow drift up to of a 20-story apartment building this looks like uh people could be in trouble with this much yeah i mean like what do you what do you actually do with that much snow uh ryan go find the video of people sledding off the roof i think that one's ai it looks because there's like a fucking 12 year old skiing and there's like too many people going at once like you ever seen a sledding hill it's chaos i've seen a couple i've seen a couple and some of them are fake but some of them are like weird how do you trust anything on facebook these days because dude facebook's so bad like i just report and block every single one i see but like how do you trust half that stuff dude it's sad because i'll see something so obviously fake like i'll just make up an example which has probably already been done it'll be like justin jefferson of the minnesota vikings yeah saw a school bus of homeless kids driving by and bought them all houses like i'm and this is slightly an exaggeration but there'll be people like this is why he's the best wide receiver like they truly think it's real i'm and that's when i i'm just like holy shit like we are so doomed dude that's clearly ai either way how much snow did they get i think they said eight feet it looks pretty windy there as well yeah i think it was all wind blown this one looks real storms last parts of russia after six foot snow buries countries far east standing honestly how sick would it be if we got following 12 feet in december so that's 18 feet in a month it's funny how big of an inconvenience that would be an again like a hazard but it's like what i've always dreamed of as a kid that's too much that is too much you wouldn't know where to put it and like so much stuff would be completely covered if it happened in such a short amount of time but probably like think of like you know your furnaces and shit for your house they need to like vent like yeah like everything or i mean just everything i mean everything but you know what i mean like everything but i would love like three feet if we got like three feet of snow one year we've been getting a lot of snow this year though the wind makes it seem like it we haven't got no we haven't but but more than years past yeah which is nice yeah it is funny when we get what we do have i'm like yep just need more i mean we need a lot more to satisfy me it's crazy all like one side of the road has like eight feet snow drifts and then the other side is like still grass yeah there's literally grass sticking out like the wind has been the wind has been insane lately like yeah you have a snow drift you could build a fort you could stand up in and then across the road there is just a half an inch ice this is an old uh picture from 21 i believe but i mean like the snow drifts out to my dad's place are cooked like i won't be able to get home tonight like off the snowmobile home and that's because of the wind yeah because the wind kicked up and alondra sent me a picture this was the snow i mean you know this isn't that bad but this was at like 10 a.m today no ryan the the drifting it's especially for you out on the point right now it's just brutal it's one thing to get a foot of snow in your driveway and then have to remove it it's another thing when the wind goes more than 10 miles an hour and again it's like two and a half miles of snow drifts yeah i wonder if you just got like a you just built a lifted truck like really really tall it'd need to be tall like skinny tires big tires i think you just gotta buy an old county plow truck or that or it's like are you but then you just pile it up it'd be even worse like the uh like the toyota tacoma with huge huge like oh like a floater like mega quad over it yeah that's why i should get randy yeah well remember when jake had the tracks on his raptor and he tried yeah you got stuck going out there out to randy's place and then ken had to come in with the bronco and ken and then i got stuck and then ken was pulling him out but remember he his toe hooks and then ken was just tweaked his frame tweaked his frame actually didn't but total his vehicle those were fun days we had a good time filming out in the storm the other day it did remind me of like old sea boys vibes where we just like it's ripping snowing super hard like obviously we're gonna be outside and now we kind of like pick and choose our schedule a little bit like when it gets nasty we might travel but this time we just decided to go outside in a straight up heavy blizzard the high on friday is negative 15 and negative 30 and one thing you talk about weather do like i posted a video of like oh look at the snowstorm day and like my snapchat comments were just full of people like bro that's just a normal day in virginia i'm like no it's fucking not like it's it's just it's just not i'll only take that from canadians yeah canadians they actually have it like that's actually not crazy bro i'm like i know i know dude what's up up with people always trying to just one up one up no matter what it is and i'll convert it to celsius for you celsius guys high of negative 26 celsius low of negative 34 celsius now shred 80 can understand he's celsius guy but yeah it's actually pretty cool but it's crazy what the wind does i think the other day when i looked at my app it said five degrees in the positive but with the wind chill it feels like negative 27 like what is that it's like cold that's what it is it's cold it's cold take your glove off for like literally to take your phone out and then check it and put it back in your pocket and your fingers are numb what's the coldest recorded temperature in minnesota i'm guessing our neck 50 52 yeah are you able to check our neck of the woods like the lowest was february 2nd 1996 and it was negative 60 i'm not sure where it is the largest single day change was 72 degrees tower minnesota what a couple weeks ago went from negative 20 to ruined from it was like 40 degrees and went down to like negative 10 or negative 20 i think that was those are always interesting to me because it's like okay so if you're somewhere where it's 80 and then goes to 40 like it's kind of crazy because it's 40 degree change but if you are somewhere here where it's like 40 and we go to like you know negative five those are two completely different worlds i just saw a instagram post and there was this guy talking about how there's about to be like the worst storm in like recorded history about to hit like the central part of the united states and they get cooked down there by the time that you're listening to this podcast it'll either have happened by now it's supposed to happen this weekend but like snowstorm just yeah they were saying uh snowstorm for you know like the upper part of it i don't know through maybe kansas and above and then below that like towards texas they were saying like three inches of ice and they were saying if there's three inches of ice then all the uh you know power lines are going to be down and like all the probably minimal plane travel with that much ice yeah and they were saying it's gonna be like rain it's cold i mean wouldn't yeah something like yeah however you get three inches of ice yeah rain and then it all freezes apparently but yeah saying that it's gonna be like really really bad and of course minnesota's just missing it it's gonna just be cold no snow nothing i still love all the people in like iowa and nebraska and shit are gonna be that kept their sleds like it's just it blows my mind when someone in like nebraska's like yeah i got a sled i'm like do you guys get snow and they're like once every five years yeah that's what minnesota dude if we didn't get snow this year all the snowmobile companies were going to go bankrupt for real and they still might but like you know the last what two years for sure there's been zero snow and so all these snowmobile manufacturers just have a insane amount of sleds sitting on their lot that they can't sell well the dealers are the people who really get cooked and one might think that the backcountry is the bigger market but it's not even close yeah all the sleds go to flatland yeah to trail trail riding motors did say they were slaying in sleds yeah i mean i was in there the other week they were like oh like we're killing it this year in terms of just obviously because we have snow but when you don't have snow tough go of it you know it is weird is there like a chart showing the decline of snowmobile i mean it's just the exact inverse of the the increase in price for snowmobiles it's probably true it seems like when i was a kid everybody has snowmobile everybody was going to snowmobile on the weekends around here it's just like it's just like it's just like it's just like all that and now it's like nobody i know you don't now that we even have snow you don't see them out yeah even on the weekends like there's obviously people out but like when we were kids dude there was so many fucking sledders going everywhere like everyone was driving around on the weekend you're going out to eat you're going to the bars whatever like i don't know it just is weird like why is it due to phones like do people are people too comfortable sitting at home watching netflix and with the internet and with their phone where they're like ah i don't really want to hop yeah they're like ah fuck it we'll sit inside in 2010 i wonder what the average price of a sled a brand new one versus versus now you can with inflation yeah you could easily look that up because like i know but like now because i mean what's a what's a high-end boosted turbo sled like 25 grand 27 close to 30 the average price for a new snowmobile in 2010 was around 8 300 performance models exceeding 10 000 and so what yeah exceeding 10 now we're exceeding 30 you can see it's a lot of money it's a lot of money it's a lot of money it's a lot of money you get an mxz 800 p-tech adrenaline was 10 grand what's that translate to with inflation today so say what's what's that 10 grand worth in inflation today 8 300 in 2010 is worth approximately 12 300 today so they did not just rise with inflation they jumped up but they've also gotten way better they are i was just gonna say like they've gotten way better i think anywhere you're around 25 like screw that but now like you can get a 24 boost on marketplace for like 14 grand but look at how many look at how many other products in the world though where they cost significantly more back in 2010 and now they cost the same if not less today but they're a way better product flat screen tvs but there's so many other things in the marketplace that are like that where it's just as things got better they also either stayed the same price or got cheaper like but not vehicles i would say just vehicles in general do not i think it's right but it's people want all the amenities no one's happy with a hand crank window and a push button lock they need a fucking full screen and see all this but then it's like and then they're fine i don't know it's i think if people could settle for a reliable vehicle that was the people want more than they can afford and it screws the whole market everything up snowmobile market needs a c2 spark style thing where it's just something that's been super cheap reliable you can beat on it and they tried to do that with the blast oh yeah the blast yeah yeah the black and people are it's underpowered yeah exactly but also dude the thing i think is snowmobiling around here isn't that fun on the new sides because they're so good that like going through the drifts that we were going through on monday or whatever like you wouldn't even be able to hit those on an old side you spend all day hitting one drift and now you just like do a wheelie through it and you're like yeah like you can say that maybe the sleds are better than what people need well i mean they don't even need to be that good around here you know like yeah that's why they're so expensive when realistically but but that's just the truth of the matter is you don't need to buy the best brand new sled and most people honestly that i see out there are riding 2010s 2011s 2012 the majority of the sleds i do see i think a lot of it has to play with just like kids have just video games and their cell phone and all that and we obviously had that back then too but i don't know there's just a lot more stuff to maybe do yeah occupy yourself with i don't know there's also just not that much snow i think sports too i mean i think nowadays youth sports are like way too overwhelming at a young age like i don't think and when you're 12 years old playing hockey it should be a year round like dedication you're not going skiing you're not riding so you think so that's how it was when i was a kid you think 15 years i think we were the start of it maybe hockey was a little different but i do remember when i was playing basketball as soon as i hit ninth grade basketball so whatever that is that's jv or c team that's when it got intense and i was like yep the team sports aren't for me because they got you know super intense but you're right hockey i'll say like baseball and shit like that dude they're doing that all the time they have like three different leagues i really hope my kids don't want to do sports i'd go i'll support them you know but like i would do so many more cool things than go and sit at a baseball game like knowing me my kids probably gonna suck like i sucked in sports my poor parents i was talking i can't believe you onto my sporting events yeah and i just sat on the bench the whole time like i can't believe you even gave a shit they probably didn't give a shit about the sport but they loved you right i know but that's what i'm saying like they should have had a when you're filling the water bottle yeah exactly they should have had a sit down conversation with me and been like don't play sports something else do something fun friends go to a movie dude i hope my kid doesn't play hockey i hope he doesn't like i'm cool with playing sports but i don't want to like always every weekend and basketball is that way too i think i mean it really just depends but i think you're better off if anything playing a variety of sports you know like if you're gonna play play football and then play basketball and then play baseball and like hitting all those you're gonna be a better probably more well-rounded athlete plus there's a lot of kids that would be good athletes and be a good fit for the team they don't give a shit about being a professional just be kids and have fun the only way it's a game truly be able to give that full support we're like we will travel we'll we'll get you all the best year is if they're like this is like i i'm really into this maybe they don't want to like they're not like i want to be a pro but they're like i'm really into this i want to be really good i want to be good you can stand behind them but if they're just like yeah yeah basketball is fun i got to i hope i get to start this year yeah me too brother basketball is one level of commitment but hockey is a completely different level i think all the sports are getting closer and closer to hockey hockey was definitely the first but i don't know i think they're all following the trend opportunities though like that hopefully i'll be able to give them with like you can ride snow but you can go dirt bike you can go surfing you can play you know sports and shit like there's a lot of different things you could be a youtuber there's a lot of activities you could be an artist you can make music follow my my footsteps but like there's there's really a lot of opportunities out there and i think yeah tying yourself down to one sport especially like you know i played hockey but like if you're just like year-round in hockey you almost don't have that chance to explore other options and figure out what you really like and what you're good at hockey year-round yeah so i don't know why i even fucking played like i look back and i just remember like not really ever liking it i was no i liked it but i just remember always being like damn like i gotta go practice did you feel like guilty like you i didn't want to quit because i would have been embarrassed yeah because then it's like the whole school like kind of knows you on the team and all this and then it's like quit and then you just feel like you're not part of that group anymore or whatever so like i never wanted to quit but i also i don't know i i shouldn't say i didn't like it you got a lot to gain from it yeah sure i it was just it was a love hate that's probably the best way for me to describe it it was fun at times and other times it just wasn't i remember when ben would go back to soccer he'd be like fuck banged up i'd be the first couple weeks of soccer polio boy polio boy walk around coughing and waddling around yeah i'd get shin splints every year and legitimately be like wobbling around with like crutches and then i like soccer what the fuck happened to this kid he had to run and broke his shins like yeah i mean that's just what happens when you like aren't conditioned and then you have to run a ton i just remember like being a young kid really being into snowmobiling because it was like the one thing that you could do where you had like a sense of freedom yeah it was before always super illegal and you couldn't just hop on it and ride but on a snowmobile you could you could hop on as soon as you got your snowmobile safety you could hop on it and you could ride to the next town you could ride to your friend's place and you could do so many things at a young age that you couldn't do before getting your driver's license right yeah and so i hope it's still like that for kids like i hope that they still find like that same dude this morning i saw when i was driving into the shop to come film i saw a kid on a snowmobile i don't know if he was riding to school which would have been cool if he was but uh even cooler if he was skipping school the snowmobile but uh he was ripping dude and uh that's the one thing like for people that don't understand snowmobiling or how it is up here it's literally like roadways like there's trails that people give permission to on their land that open up come snowmobile season and you can ride through and they're you know there's markings and all this stuff and like there's literally signs on the side of the road that stay year-round for like you know how you sometimes see like deer crossing it's it's just a snowmobiler telling the the drivers to like watch out snowmobiles cross the road here you know like it's like the one it's so awesome it's like the one thing that uh landowners like they give they give permission to have a public trail go but then they close up come spring yeah and ben and i of course we would always just ride around them with our dirt bikes because you know there's the gate but then there's the tree so we'd just squeeze our handlebars we'd ride down and pass through and oh man we got chased a few times yeah we pissed a lot of people off yeah people did not like dirt bikers i think it's because they rip up the dirt i mean that's how you if that landowner decide yeah yeah i get that now being an adult but oh i tore up my fair share of snowmobile trails don't get me wrong i'm not i'm not saying you should do it and i get why the people didn't want us to do it i probably wouldn't chase someone with my truck damn near running them over like a seven like we were running from this straight up on our tail and we were like probably like 55 down this gravel road but anyways what a thrill though huh it was fun oh that was the best yeah i didn't know ben's bike blew up because he like pulled off and went down this one way and i was like why would you go there and i kept going straight and then it turns out he caught up caught up to me came just chewed my ass my parents name didn't you yeah that's a real human that cj and his friends would say yeah what's your name that's such a classic you just say that person's name i felt you know looking bad i feel bad for him i never used it on the bus but like this one kid he just would get in trouble all the time on the bus that guy didn't even ride the bus he'd get in trouble bus drivers like what's your name he'd say this kid's name hop off the bus like whatever and that kid would get called in the next morning and it happened like two three times and then finally that kid's mom came in they hop on the bus uh these like standing there and the bus driver goes well him right there and they go fuck in that kid no shit so he got in trouble for all the shit he was doing and also in trouble for lying about his name that's fucking funny i love that that's funny you wrote the bus in your life and you you're getting down to the office getting in trouble for some shit you did on the bus and you know you know the principal's like what i don't know 12 14 year old kids well it wasn't me yeah right somebody would just say that it was you just look at the cameras now the now the next county over they're getting the cops called on this kid he's like oh my god it's spread it's how the hell do you spread an hour away i don't even own a dirt bike oh yeah i bet buddy i don't know i mean i'm assuming that it's it's still like that and it's just been more difficult with the lack of snow but like if there's kids out there that are looking for something to do in the winter maybe you're not a sports guy bro it is like the best way to have free time and you're not a sports guy you're not a sports guy you're not a as a kid it's the best it's the best but yeah it is and my recommendation is buy the reliable snowmobile don't don't blow your whole budget on the one you think is the coolest it's gonna let you down and then you're gonna be sitting there and it's cold and you don't want to work on a snowmobile and it's how i spent my whole childhood is i always wanted that race sled that cool sled and i always bought the cheapest one because it's all i could afford and it always broke and i look back like i could have just bought a standard mx like literally any normal snowmobile and i would have had way more better time that that sled also taught you some valuable skills and how to wrench on it yeah yeah because evan's wrenching on all this shit yeah he had i do how much my dad was gonna chew my ass when he brought it to the small engine repair for the third time is what it taught me dude ken was so cool he raced snowmobiles when he was young yeah we found that out twice twice and i lost how did you guys just figure that out this week well you never once told us because i sucked and i got last every time you got last i got last every time the fact that we found this out i mean after knowing you for so long like i would be introducing you so much differently yeah it's like every person oh this is my buddy ken he used to race snowmobiles because your brother is a big snowmobile racer correct yeah so ryan like you played basketball you play basketball on the bench but are you like you don't say that no but but riding the bench it was cool to introduce yourself many years later as former basketball player zero credibility saying that i raced yeah i did it i sucked ass and it's like whenever we try to give you your flowers whether it's getting chicks racing snowmobiles you're always just like contradicting what we're saying don't be so hard on yourself and just sorry i feel like i'm being micah i know i'm saying like no but like this is actually i think what ken if ken were to own that and be like yeah i am a are gonna be like why don't you rip then former former snowmobile racer oh yeah i never said that he was a good snowmobile racer i just said he was a snowmobile racer dude it's still cool yeah i mean he still did it dude i think that you know sucked it sucked the whole time i was i was like why did i want to do this in the first place it was like 20 below the both times i did it i got last every time and i was like this just sucks it's not fun i don't know what i'm doing just i'm just over it instead when is that crazy though that like actually had fun snowmobiling not just being miserable doing it and having to like go in freaking circles the whole time so did your dad just sign you up for it well it's like how did you get coerced into doing it's because my brother was doing it and he was like oh do you want to do it and i was like sure i'll try it and just did not do good how nervous were you ken pulling up to the starting line i mean i was 10 yeah but also what i was doing you said you ran two races you did bad i mean maybe it takes more than one or two races to like but it's like win a fucking race the whole time you're doing bad you're also just miserable you're not having anyone doing it oh yeah i did one race i didn't win but it wasn't just like it wasn't like i lost like i lost by a lot like how much blame your mechanic like minutes like i was minutes behind everyone else minutes and cross country that's over the course of hours the top guy got done in like 20 minutes and i got like 45 what the hell were you doing kid you stopped for some hot chocolate it was bad i mean i don't want to bring that up because people are going to find the race results you can find the results shit can you i don't think they fucking have time to publish is it it's not isaac what association was it that association's been gone bankrupt about 10 different times i don't remember what it was called back then of course because anything ken doesn't want to remember he does it gets memory holed out of my brain because i don't want to remember it i found your linkedin strongest uh you know personality traits strongest traits ken yeah you can forget anything whatever you decide and that is what keeps you mysterious to other people like you sometimes don't even know what they're trying to figure out about yourself like for real no straight hope yeah i'm confused on what you're saying here like like someone someone someone could go up to ken and ask him a question about himself that only he could answer and he's like i you i don't know i think we gotta figure out something for for cj and mike because you know i'm trying to get tony hawk to come out teach ben how to drop in i'm working on it i'm probably a long ways away from it happening but i'm trying how sick would that be i feel like when he hot comes out to our two foot tall mini ramp and you know i'm working on it i'm working on it but but i think i think we could get levi i bet levi lavallee would would be would maybe teach you how to race a snowmobile i think we could get levi i bet levi lavallee would be would maybe teach you how to race a snowmobile i think we could get levi i bet levi lavallee would be would maybe teach you how to race a snowmobile we're we're so far down that do that 100 he would yeah he would what do you think cj what what do you think like what's that show on mtv made remember that show you guys are probably too young you remember we should have somebody come out and teach cj how to do like the revolver like super quick shooter that would be actually sick i'd love that yeah i think that yeah that'd be sick thank you mike that's a great one is it like an equivalent for knives or they're probably honestly is no the guys where they cut the knife they're probably honestly is no the guys where they cut the ropes and shit have you seen that yeah they walk around yeah okay that would yeah we're doing that with knives yeah yeah oh my god yeah it's like a sport there is a future in this cutting stabbing throwing okay yeah i've seen that you might do the next level for your knife addictions gonna be how sharp can you get this thing this one's pretty sharp i just cut this bottle in half like a couple months from now look at that shit you guys just picked up some throwing stars would have been sick they make throwing knives okay what do we got yeah all right look at this okay oh i could definitely see cj doing this this is not quite what i was expecting but i like it wait till they get to the rope oh that's actually sick well wait that's such a waste of beer oh yeah they have all the water bottles and shit like this is hard to watch dude how is this hard to watch mike it's just awkward like can you sound imagine people actually sound turn the sound up it's an aussie man review he's probably yapping those are all the things that went through my mind when i saw that over to another pole again don't overthink it just a lot of wood i like that though how fast can you chop through a two by four with your machete dude i think i could do faster than this i'm dead serious put me in a competition like yeah well that little that little knife you got hopefully i'll get a better one hopefully ben doesn't steal that one the 2007 blade sports world championship women's final so the blade sports is primarily looking like they're using a machete type knife i love that people are cheering all right now put it in the dishwasher okay all right now put it in the dishwasher okay this girl's terrible did you see them make like she she accidentally let her hand come from behind her back and they're like hand behind the back where do they host these ryan i'm down put me in one got it i'll we'll find it i will love this seriously i think you can do good i'd be way faster these people they were like lollygagging to the next thing i'd be sprinting that's probably a rule you can't run you can't run my life i would still do it is it a timed event or is it all based on how accurate and clean your cuts are probably better than that i don't know i don't know i don't that could change the whole perspective on that it's got to be a blend i'm sure there's a whole system cj lots are the only one to score a 99 on the day cj's just beating himself up over it i could have done better i would be i should have upgraded my blade what do you think mike for me i can't say drifting because you're i feel like i'd have to be mike's a man of many sports he's a multi-sport athlete like that's what i'm saying it could be anything like scuba diving i'd love to like actually go scuba diving scuba diving i gotta be a competition okay um for honestly just like a feat not a competition for me this one's like a lame because it's so obvious like i should probably join a dirt bike race still never joined a dirt bike race i'm maybe similar to canon that way i'm really not competitive it's when you were explaining how like he he got 25 minutes you got 45 that's sometimes how i feel even like up against evan if we were actually like let's go fast evan's just so far ahead of me that i'm like how could i even like win so so then let's let's put me up against like someone even faster than that it's i just look at that and go like man but anyway i just want to do a race 30 plus fortunately there's a lot of classes yeah you yeah you would have a blast i would find out that you were racing against a bunch of people that are evenly matched it yeah let yeah i'll do it i gotta do it like i'll even race with you yeah it'd be super fun uh i want to do a moto race and a woods race so you're pretty versed in the hair scrambles you can train on the new property we'll get yeah we'll get out there with like a little time trial yeah a little stopwatch that'd be great have you start putting in some laps i'll just kind of use evan's times to go off of i mean you got spunky to teach you everything you really need to know you know mike i don't think any anyone would uh really say too much if you didn't do that well because you're not fast at anything else you do in life right i'm not you're the slowest human being i've ever met no offense yeah yeah yeah yeah 100 yeah i really don't go i don't like going fast i don't like you know someone's like this is what i'm doing it'll do 110 i'm like sick i'm cool with like 70 or 80 the the way that i would just maybe describe like mike i feel like you lack the sense of urgency yeah that's the better way i think you like going fast mike you drive fast things all that i mean you get more speeding tickets but it's just more so you lack the sense of urgency like okay so it's going to take one hour to get here i should leave probably an hour if not a little more than before but instead you have that lack of urgency where you're like all right it's 45 minutes till i need to be there and i it's an hour-long drive i'm gonna speed yeah yeah and then i'll get there still you know 10 minutes late yeah i mean i can't disagree boys what are you doing though like just i'm not ridiculing you at all but what are you doing in that time like let's just use an example like well if it's the morning sleeping that's obvious so then do you wake up i don't know like i did it again anything i could be mowing the lawn i could be in the shower i could be like shoot i was supposed to bring all like the recycling i should have done that last night and then i thought i told myself yeah it could be literally anything so then everything just pushes back and yeah or like i'm the type of person that i've said this before this is not if i put this reasoning on all the times i'm being late it'd just be a giant excuse but instead of just like mentally preparing for what i'm coming into i think that i can probably do this little task before i have to leave next thing i know it makes me late you know that that actually happens to me a lot like if we're doing something let's just say we have to be here at nine we're gonna be here at nine we're gonna be here at nine we're gonna be here and for some reason i wake up at like seven i'm like oh i got all this time and then i start doing whatever around the house or maybe i make a big breakfast or whatever and i end up being late on those days versus the day that i wake up at 8 30 and i just go yeah like when we're all together at the farm and jen says hey i'll be here at this time and we all leave together to come over and eat lunch you are 20 minutes behind every single day oh that's because lunch is actually one of the few things that i don't have to be on time for like literally nothing happens jen i've never like once inconvenienced jen by coming late oh i know i'm more more so just asking like why don't you just go at the same time i'm just not hungry oh okay but that's why i guess yeah later like today like i just didn't go because i wasn't hungry but the days you do go over like we're all wrapping up eating and then you're just walking in the door and like grabbing a plate which has been maybe a few times but like also pretty rare that i will do that and grab a plate and hold everybody up just because i was eating sometimes i think we've just all gotten like so used to like just operating together like i don't think anyone has very high of expectations at this point of like if everyone is on time or if like not everything goes perfectly to plan then it's like oh we're waiting on this like it's just like i think everyone's just kind of okay with just like what happens happens at this point i actually think it's probably like why we why we work so well together is we all just kind of like gotten to know each other so well and we don't like try and change it well we don't get hung up it's like yeah i mean we're supposed to be doing this but now we're an hour behind whatever let's just do it things like that just happen every single day like every single day nothing ever goes to schedule but that yeah that doesn't mean we should come into it and go like well nothing ever goes to schedule anyway so screw it but nothing ever goes to schedule i think we set a itinerary of what needs to get done and then we just try and get it done. and then like we just try and fit the pieces into the puzzle to finish the puzzle and sometimes it takes a little bit longer to get those pieces into place but everyone's kind of on the like same understanding ryan i'm gonna send a couple emails to michael jordan try to get you off that bench buddy can you imagine i love how that's kind of where you're going like i guess maybe you could have said well who's like the best snowmobile racer either way levi valley's up there you get like the best of the best for ken the best of the best for ben we got axelot to teach evan how to ride dirt bike again well and that's kind of i guess i didn't say that's what i was thinking like you guys brought axelot teach me ride dirt bike and that always got me thinking i'm like what could each person yeah i don't even think ben wants to drop in i've just been telling ben that he needs to drop in dude his his new year's resolution was to be scared to drop like all three of them were about skateboarding okay that is true i want to learn how to kickflip but i think the worst part is that i don't know how to kickflip i don't know how to kickflip about the whole like potentially getting tony hawk or someone really high up and skating to get it i think it'd be amazing but we could literally go run it you know in an hour like just me and you yeah i think it would be very quick yeah i think i could probably drop in like you said like five tries drop in and ride out you think five tries i give you 10 i'd say that the kickflip would definitely be way more of a battle than it yeah i mean i can't even ollie yeah way more i feel like a heel flip's easier than a kickflip yeah and you're one of those guys personal preference like the flick just was there's more to it okay well mine was kickflip so i can't uh rewrite the goals can't switch it up now if ben lands a kickflip in 2026 you're gonna get back on the board i i like i skate around the shop every now and then but i'm not like fucking no ollies dropping in and grinding shit with you guys i'd still love to see you come in with a setup i know you were close i think i think you were dude there's like you're on your own you're on your own you're on your own you're on your own your phone like setting up a complete dude i have way too many skateboards yeah for a guy that sucks i have i think i have six and they're but they're all different sizes because maybe the reason i suck at skateboarding because i wasn't riding the proper setup so i've bought like every i've got the narrowest skateboard you can buy i've got the widest one and i've got everything in between different size wheels different size trucks different grip tape you know what they all kind of function the same yeah i remember maybe i remember saying that like being like if maybe if i went to an eight i'd just be happier to be nailing these tricks and yeah some dude's super good at skating he's like i'm i hate to break it to you bro but like you just gotta learn it's not the board we rode for what we'll call it an hour the other night we had our little sesh i rode five different boards yeah mike rode the same one he landed a lot of tricks i didn't we were both struggling dude also we were sweating our asses off just gassed but it was good it was i was actually skating with no shirt on don't check the cams i did you a favor and didn't take any videos i really i i actually took a few snaps and then just deleted no i'll fucking i i'd run it as if i was landing something but yeah if i'm just fucking rolling around on the ground this fat sweaty rolling on the ground and he would just biff it up and i'm like huh this just that's always a funny like thing across the board like even you know sometimes we were out snowmobiling you hit a drift and it's oh that was sick i'll record you in the next one but the drift starts to get beat up and then you like come through and you're just like bar humping and then i'm like i'm just gonna delete that one yeah you always know it's a fail when you just delete the clip i kind of want to see these videos now the security cam footage look it up i guarantee you will not be entertained yeah it's not yeah it wasn't very impressive i will give you a chance to give you that ev you got heart man you got heart when it comes to skateboarding and it's still though like i can hop on a bike and i feel like i'm pretty darn good on a bike but it's like just mike skates and like can't really ride a bike inside our ramps are too small so like i'm still just fighting the skateboard game but i'm stoked on it obviously you know like this isn't talking ill on dalton like he cannot ride a skateboard and he's always like he's like oh let me try dropping it and then he's just like yeah it's not for me like he he physically could not hang out with us while we were skateboarding he can ride a suitcase though he can ride a suitcase and he he's a hell of a ripstick rider dude cody's the sleeper ripstick rider like what does that even mean like he just gets on it and does stuff that what stunts oh i don't know ripstick i don't people who like 360 flipped them and then everyone says the same thing they're like dude just skateboard which they probably do i've never seen anyone ride a ripstick more than just like in a line i guess like i don't know what the circle the whole thing is they still make ripstick i don't know what that's all about six were sick dude were they though uh i don't know dude i used to i i wonder if i still have a video of it me and my buddy kade used to have these things called fusion scooters that you could like oh yeah four wheel they had like a trike yeah it was four wheels and they had big big kind of wheels yeah and you could go like that and we could manual them forever and we made like edits and it was so corny what about the like kind of long board thing that had the two uh ripsticks oh freeboard oh free snowboarding but long word cody had one of those too that's probably where he got some of that skill yeah so you would essentially it was like for downhill though wasn't it yeah yeah so you'd ride it like a snowboard yeah it was like snowboarding just on pavement those things never really caught on did they well dude that's a pretty gnarly fall too your feet are actually locked in i guess they slid in but it's not like but like you go south you need the right environment i mean think right now how many hills are in cormorant that you go ride this thing down yeah i guess so but if you're like you're running the streets of la with that like san francisco san francisco is that super sketchy though with like potholes and with the traffic with the little like wiggly i don't know but i would imagine it seems very sketchy yeah it does it just seems super sketchy yeah well many many many moons ago i had some buddies in college in duluth the college is up on the hill and canal park is like at the bottom of the hill and they had like a bunch of longboards sitting in their parts and they're like bro you have your longboard i'm like no like grab one dude we got the sickest route you literally don't have to push it's a 20 minute ride and you just ride terrifying these guys were good and i had no idea what i was sliding it and stuff yeah they could skirt they could skirt you need to know we're going to some of these hills there's guardrails on the side like we're in traffic cannon fucking and i'm also on like everyone has their good setup and then there's like the homie setup which is obviously everyone's old shit so i'm not blaming the board but i was also on shit rolling around on the asphalt no it wasn't just i mean i was going fast well rewriting uh well but it wasn't even that long of a board too which i feel like a longer board's more stable i was on like a short longboard yeah like a cruiser board and we were just like bombing these hills and dude it was so stressful and i i actually never ate shit but i mean i was having to like drag my feet like they're skidding i'm dragging my feet i don't know it was just a terrifying experience i never did it again my buddy zach went through a longboarding phase it was pretty pretty long phase actually where he was like making his own longboards but it was it was pretty much once a summer he would get like a guaranteed concussion oh good pile up yeah i was the punk longboard kid that was like yeah well i'm a skateboarder so in order to get around faster of course i'll ride the longboard i don't i mean i was bmx too but like just like i just what a corny thing to do i guess like longboard is not an effective way to get around town i'm sorry i did it it's not they don't have a cool rap yeah they don't and it was it's like it's like bro tank and like drug rug like it's just it's not a it's kind of like a corny it's not an aesthetic yeah but most of those guys aren't actually riding them hard like they're not bombing hills right it's just it's kind of like getting around like college campus and whatever dude in college i rode my longboard all the time for class just because you could get there so much quicker and if i didn't ride the longboard i'd ride a scooter and i didn't really give a shit dude scooter in college yeah crazy scooters it was a purple scooter and it was great dude yeah it was nice you would rip a scooter to class kaboom i didn't hear about this i didn't know that either i wrote a scooter like laugh at me and shit but i didn't really care what about when casey nice that had the so that was he was way ahead of that time with that boosted board because now there's a bunch but dude those things are sick and they've only gotten better also you i'm sure you guys have all seen the electric unicycles yes they're no okay we rode them at the drift mansion we rode them at the drift mansion oh yeah yeah yeah but the so those are fun those are cool they're like one wheel a little different but have you seen the people just ripping traffic speeds it's nuts you're like the the asian people going upstairs with those things i have seen also i've seen like all their race matters in this cat i've seen some people doing like hill climbs with them when and obviously hitting jumps it's just kind of wild there's a reason none of us have pursued that because it does it seems like in it uh not a if but when it's like it's like a one wheel like all of us have ate shit on a one wheel you push super fun you push it to the absolute limit and then at the limit you're going 20 miles per hour leaning as far forward as possible because that's how you get up to speed and then the bat battery dies or it cuts out or something happens don't like the beepers remember when ryan yeah push through the pushback I mean, it's like an amateur mistake. Yeah, it was awful. You were scabbed up all over. That's how it was. I went down Pelican Point Drive on my longboard, my buddy Pete, and he's like, yeah, it's not bad. You're cooking by the end, though. And I just was like, all right. It was like the first actual hill I bombed, and I just got speed wobbles and died. Just straight slid on my chest for like 20 feet, and it was right before that our boss at Zorba's was like, be careful, you guys. We need your hands to make pizzas. And then I came back, and my hands were literal scabs because I just grated them off on the P-Rock. It's better to roll, but you just start sliding, and you don't want to start tumbling. There's few things worse than road rash. Road rash is a deuce. Because your skin is healing. That's painful. That's the thing, too. When you get those big scabs, it's like then your skin doesn't flex. Yeah. Sometimes the worst pain is like day four. Yeah, exactly, when it's all hard. Just a big slab of bacon or jerky, I mean. Onewheel did such a good job of making that a more accessible vehicle. For sure. Yeah, you look at it, and you assume it's going to be way harder to ride than it is. It's just the tech in it is amazing. It's also just interesting that they kind of came up, and they just stayed steady. Onewheel's is a good brand. They're quality products, but then the hoverboard thing, there's like 6,000 different hoverboard makers, and you- Yeah, you're right. Nobody really ripped off a Onewheel. Right, and you don't see- Maybe they have a crazy patent. You don't see anybody riding a hoverboard. I'm talking even like a kid at a park. You don't see anybody riding hoverboards. Dude, those suckers were the rage. Remember that Christmas when everybody got hoverboards? So many of them were so shitty that they all just started on fire. Those were like the most dangerous ones. We didn't deal with any of that. Little Aiden's got one. It's got the Bluetooth speaker built in. Yeah, right in the wheel. And he just burns around the house listening to Astronaut in the Ocean. Okay, so it's in-house. What's that song? What you know about going deep. Oh, that's funny. That's a good little kid song. Yeah, but on repeat for more than- By the third time you hear it, it's excessive, and God forbid the tenth time. My favorite, I've seen a few- He's zipping around the house banging into shit, too, and you're just like, oh, yeah. I've seen a few videos where little kids will get them spinning, you know, if you, like, lean one. You'll get them spinning, and then they're spinning, like, literally, they look like a top, and they're like. Yeah, if you sit on them, that's how you do it. You sit on it, and then you use your palms, one forwards, one backwards, and you cyclone insane. Yeah. Whenever I think about those hoverboards, I just think of the time that Cody Sherbrooke was sitting on one, and he went forward, and then he was like, ha-ha, he starts laughing, and then he, like, kind of falls back, and then he just, like, full speed puts his head into our hammer-schlugging table, and he cut his head open. Was that on video? Yeah, Jake just sent it to me today, actually, ironically. What? Yeah, like, literally, it was his last text. He just sent it to Cody and I. Look at this guy. Goes forward. He blew his head open, and then we, on the hammer-schlugging table, riding a hoverboard, sitting down, doing cyclones, and then we super-glued his head shut, and all was well. Another clip that I just saw from you, I think you posted it, but when Pat, our editor, wipes out on the skateboard, and Dalton goes to check on him, and steps on the skateboard, and then takes himself out, but none of us, me and Mike, you can see us in the corner, and we weren't even watching, but it's just, Pat goes down, Dalton goes down, me and Mike look, and they're just both laying on the floor. What just happened? It was a pretty rare occasion where they were laughing so uncontrollably, and you came over, and he goes, what happened? And you're like, but seriously, guys, are you guys actually okay? And I'm like, wow, pretty rare that Evan's not just laughing at them. Dude, my hardest laughs are always when I know that they're okay, or at least minor injuries. When I piled that hoonicorn up into the tree, Evan didn't stop laughing for two hours. I still haven't stopped. That is the definition of one of the, like, you're never living that down. That one was a big one. In a memory in our group chat today, one of my college buddies, they were having, like, a fucking wrestling tournament, or something dumb, but it was at our buddy Pearson's house, and he hit his head. He had to get it shaved. He had a fucking bald spot. I love the time stamp, too. I really do. They stapled together. It did not look like it hurt, but he had a bald spot for fucking half of his life. Sophomore year of college. No, this was junior year, and then freshman year, he fell off a roof and broke his back, so he was in a back brace. I was going to say, was that previous? Yeah. He was a bit injury-prone. Dude, I've always wondered how the staples work when they're in your head. It doesn't look like it works very well. There's not a lot of meat up there. Can we chat, GPT, why they use staples instead of stitches, per se, or any other method? I just feel like other parts of the body make sense. It's maybe too tough where they can't. Like, when they staple, does it go into the body? Did I remember in elementary school. I don't think. I don't think so, but. There's no way they're putting staples into your skull. When I was younger, that's what I thought happened. I'm like, so someone was explaining how their son, like, cut their head open, and then they had to get it stapled. I was like, oh, so he cracked his skull. Yeah. And they're like, no, he just sliced his head open. I'm like, why did he need staples? But that's how they do it. A scalp, maybe. It's too thick or something. I don't know. I mean, I imagine it's not doing what it looks like it does, because it's clearly not a normal staple that just, like, goes straight down. Because you can't even go, like, an eighth of an inch on your head and not be in your skull. It's because on the scalp, your skin is thick. Staples are used instead of stitches for faster wound closure, especially for deeper, long cuts, offering quicker application, lower infection rates, and strong, uniform closure. How thick is your scalp? Like, five millimeters or something? Staples are also stronger and less tissue reaction. Less hair interference. They say staples are great for the scalp because hair makes suturing slower, and the scalp bleeds a lot. Mm, the follicles don't. They don't like playing with the needle. Lower infection risk? Uh, your skull is five to ten millimeters thick. Your skull or your scalp? Your scalp's probably only, like, two or three. Three to eight millimeters is your scalp. Wow. Thickest skin on your body. Really? You guys ever get stitches? I know Mike has blown his knee out. Yeah, I got stitches many times. I don't even know how many times. Really? Yeah, I got some here. He fell down the stairs when he was all piled up one night. My leg. Yeah. I've had some on my forehead. Yeah, at least three, four times. My hands. You guys know about my bad stitches I had, right? Yeah, and your nuts? Oh, yeah. I can't remember if we talked about that, yeah. And you blew it open on a trailer? Yeah, okay, we talked about that. Yeah, yeah, okay. Yep, yep. All I know is I'm glad I didn't break out the Stanley stapler. I was fine with the sewing needle. You know what I've heard more times than once is. I need a fucking binder for Gans. Like, one of my buddy's dads was disconnecting his trailer, and, you know, when you just wait on the trailer, you disconnect it, it comes up, and knocked both his front teeth out. Think how much that would suck. Just, I mean, you know, you can make fake ones, but. Losing your front teeth, yeah, it does suck. I chipped my front tooth twice. It's almost. Playing football on the bus. Damn. Yeah. Badass. Wait, twice? You ride the bench at the basketball court when you're playing sports on the bus? Yeah. No, the first time was on the bus, and then the second time was back when DL Beach used to have, like, the log roll, and, like, all the things in the water. You guys remember that? It was lit. And I fell off, and I, like, winced, and I opened my mouth, but I hit it on the anchor underwater. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah, I know. The doctor was like, how the fuck did you do that? Like, why isn't your lip cut and whatever? They, like, didn't believe me. And I was like, no. It's almost one thing, though, if you're, like, whether you're horsing around or playing a sport or doing a stunt, and, like, you knocked your teeth out or whatever, but, like, Mike was saying, like, can you imagine? Yeah, I know. It was a busy day. Oh, yeah, that's not the first thing that's went wrong. Yeah. And all of a sudden, your. Your teeth are fucked? Poor fellow. That's not the first time that something went wrong that day, either. You know? Like, you know you were fucking with the trailer, and the lights didn't work, and you're already pissed off, and then the thing knocks you out. We still didn't believe him for the longest time, and he pulled up his security footage or something, but when Jake was loading, he got a Thumpstar, very similar to an SSR pit bike, and he was loading it in the back of his Edge, and he's like, yeah, I knocked my. I knocked myself out loading my pit bike, and we're like, yeah, right, and then he, like, pulled the security cam footage, and he's like, look, I'm laying there for, like, a minute. How did he do it again? Did he, like, slam his face on the concrete or something? Yeah, or he, like, slipped and then, like, hit his head on the peg or something. I don't know. You gotta be careful out there. Or he was unloading it or something. I don't remember. He was up top. Yeah, that was just, like, such a classic the boy who cried wolf story. Oh, it was, yeah. I was like, Jake told us that, and we were like, no. Well, that didn't happen. No, dude, no, it actually did happen, I swear. This one's true. He had to go and pull the security cam footage. Classic. Did you guys see, like, all those cars going for auction at the Barrett-Jackson this weekend that were going for, like. Yeah, like $30 million. Yeah, crazy money. What were they? Mecham, actually. I like Mecham auctions. Oh, was it? I don't know. I just keep seeing that, like, all these cars going for auction set, like, every single car that was going set a record for, like, the price. God, that's. Like an insane. Like $35 million. Bro. per like for a for a car for a ferrari inflation i'm assuming they were limited edition or limited runs or what they were standard anything special or fucking toyota corolla these 30 just wanted to spend money 38.5 million for a 1962 ferrari 250 gto don't know what the fuck that is then a ferrari enzo for 17 million a ferrari f50 for 12 million another enzo for 11 a la ferrari for 11 million so i saw all those though and like i think that there's becoming this new wave of people investing or like spending money on things that aren't like traditional investments that it's like a pretty crazy return like all those cars but uh did you guys see like logan paul selling his uh like one of one of one pokemon card yeah what is your card and it's gonna sell for like 10 million dollars i guess it is one of one because it's i don't know enough about it but it's a it's a charizard holographic it's like the illest it's like an illustrator card that was a part of this limited run and it was graded a psa 10 that's why it's one of one it's the only like highest grade highest condition card like there's other ones that are like nines or whatever but yeah supposedly this thing is worth like 10 million bucks or something it's at 6.3 million right now with 26 days left of the auction i remember when i was a kid i used to always like save my cards oh these are gonna be worth something someday i totally just had shit cards really i had a holographic youtube which i've seen that even in ass condition it's still worth like hundreds of dollars and then could be upwards of like real money i don't know not millions but like thousands perhaps yeah it's cool i was just going through my memorabilia box the other day and then sydney pulls up this she goes what's 89 tops which they're baseball cards and she's like this is it says you know this is a gift to you your first birthday micah worth about 100 bucks today hopefully it's worth much more in the future and she's like you should look this up i'm like oh my gosh i haven't looked that up in so long i mean literally like 100 bucks i'm like what a joke that sucks yeah there was a guy local around here he uh they were talking cards and all that and he was like oh i think i have one of these rare limited edition i don't remember it's like michael jordan first release first season or something like that you know there's only like 30 printed new back in the 90s when he was a kid and he went home and you know they're like worth like 30 grand a day goes home finds it in chicago sells it to a guy for 30 grand oh no shit that's pretty late yeah the rookie cards are sick because yeah they they didn't make much because they didn't know how good they'd be at the time so having like a true rookie card is crazy there's a lot of just like collector memorabilia like you said that you can make money on i mean it's just also one of those things it's like how many people are like buying a car and they're like oh this is gonna be worth big bucks someday and it's like you gotta store it yeah yeah realistically drive it i'll be easier to do with a card like i don't know there's i don't know i think i still think we should buy some normal ass things like i see at some of those auctions where it's just like 1991 silverado with like no miles on it and it goes for stupid money someone's gonna put all you do is just buy that sucker throw it in a bubble for 30 years and you've been saying that with like crated dirt bikes and stuff yeah or yeah dirt bikes where you see the three-wheeler or the snowmobile whatever but i'll probably never do it because i'm just getting older but yeah because if i'm gonna do it i need to hurry up and buy something but yeah we talked about it with the yamaha the last year they made a yamaha i'm like well because it feels weird to buy something at 2025 and then be like yeah in 20 years but that would have been a good 2025 is a good year like it sounds good you know when it's 50 years old what about the etny shoes ev oh yeah how are those doing perfect they're comfortable yep i bought a few pairs to wear haven't been buying them for a long time well i bought all the shecklers are gone those are really the only ones that i was like potentially could go up in value that's true the problem is i just keep wearing them i've only got like all right no more i think i have because etnies does still make shoes you guys just not the shecklers yeah i think find a couple pairs not in your size you can't wear them no and that is what i said i was gonna do you can still find them in other sizes but like the nine to twelve range or whatever you cannot find them but i still have three three different colorways in them that are boxed up a couple of them that i've gotten shipped and they're still like in the bag they should i've even opened the shipping bag to check what's in the box i might open it up in 30 years and there's a freaking mouse turds in there they might be shoes just dust dust i wonder how many crazy sports cards are just sitting in an attic somewhere like worth like crazy money like the million dollar cards yeah especially when you're a kid like you don't really know at least i didn't really know what i got what was worth money you maybe think this one is because it's and i also think you come into it just assuming that it's not you know what i mean i was the opposite i was like these are gonna be like worth so much money someday oh you thought that back in the day yeah really yeah like pokemon cards or what say that like all my friends and stuff were like you know but i just had trash cards i didn't have any good cards i guess would you trade them yeah i well like i don't even really know how i got my cards really like i don't know if they were just like i was no but i was never really like buying them i think i just kind of got them like like i had a friend or something they were just his ass cards gave them to me and i don't know cards are trash i like old video games i have i have super nintendo original nintendo saga but i actually play the games so i'm not trying to buy like new in package games but like i've spent you know over a hundred dollars on like a mario game for super nintendo that's sick and it's like it's cool i have it and i use it and maybe it'll break so i'm like i'm not really i'm not buying it to make money but it sucks because there's like a lot of games for playstation 2 that are getting crazy in price really there's this fighting game def jam vendetta yeah def jam the record label or not vendetta is the first one fight for new york is the one that's the one but now to get a playable a disc only that they claim is playable is going for like two three hundred dollars and if it's new in the box i mean with the i mean i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know and it's like i just want to get this game so i can play it again talk to justin he knows how to do the emulator shit but it's not the same it's not it's not i've well no it is but it's not it's not the same it's better playing it on the console you need an old tv to play it on too actually this is funny a couple nights ago i watched a full rundown on how to fully mod a ps2 with simple bolt-ons from amazon like you don't need to like take it apart you just like plug this in here plug that in there plug that in there spend a couple hundred bucks and then you can play all the play anything you want yeah you can buy modded xbox like originals or even 360s and it'll come with like 10 000 games on it and you don't ever have to change it's just a hard drive yeah they're not that much money but so i i i hear mixed reviews like some of them are just laggy and shit but i deeply regret the way i treated my playstation 1 and playstation 2 games they lived in a stack on top of my playstation and you just shuffled through them and yeah yeah there's 20 games just stacked right on top that always drove me nut i couldn't do that and also if i was at a buddy's house then i'm like hey where's the case for that i don't have one just i'm like i was the opposite gonna get scratched i always had them in the case i threw all my cases away but i had like the little folder like the disc folder so i yeah i have a bunch of games but case away i like looking at it i know that's how i feel dumb if anyone wants to sell me def jam fight for new york for 100 bucks i don't need the box get my dms and if anyone wants to sell me a shrek tube tv with a built-in for a decent price i'd take it they made a lightning mcqueen one too i yeah oh that's lit it's crazy the tube tvs have gone up but particularly those two with the built-in vhs they're going for like a grand one so oh that's sick my bedroom i grew up in at my parents house my mom still held on to the the built-in vhs tube tv not a special edition but that it's still just it's kind of sits there and she's like i just keep it you never know if you're gonna need that's to watch a vhs for some reason so it's just sitting there and it's also like i had to get a vhs player to pull a bunch of the old tapes for the wedding video it was a pain in the ass to even get a vhs player so if you just had the tv with it you just get to pop it in and that's it shrek tv in the box unopened 6500 okay they've gone up even more they've gone up even more opening it i really wonder how people don't open shit in the box i think you jump on one mike i'd be a flex i know what you guys are talking about this was before your time ben dude shrek was do you know what vhs is so it it's like a vhs it's like a big cassette tape okay lightning and you had to rewind it but don't pause it for too long you have to use the stop button if you pause it it'll burn the tape out really so your parents know if you were pausing it at the titty scene for too long and too long could just be a matter of minutes when you watch the movie through normally it'll go you learn that one the hard way no no i just know it happens what about if you pause something on those old tube yeah get burned in when it burned on no that wasn't tubes that was plasmas no it was plasma it could happen on a tube too but you'd have to leave it on for like days the stat i just remember like the old - Like the two being stabbed. - Gosh. not make shit like this anymore like look at this tv it's got a little lightning mcqueen remote it's kind of fucking lit you want to know how much this is lit that's a dvd imagine dude unwrapping that at christmas had one of those and i remember vividly uh in walmart they'd have a huge stack of them 99 bucks yeah that's how much it costs for that tv but the like the the late generation like sony tube tvs i mean there's other brands but like they have went up in price because everyone was just ditching them ditching them ditching them but now people like me that want to play retro games on a original unit to have it look good it has to be on you ever thrown a cinder block through them fuck that's oh yeah it's so fun dude broken a number of we used to do that in college we would go around town people would be throwing them away and we'd grab them and then we'd bring them to our apartment and then we'd throw bricks at them it's just crazy though that like 15 or 20 or 10 whenever good tvs got good people were paying to dispose them and now they're worth like i know good money like crazy well there was how things come around there's like copper in them and i remember like if you would set it out on like cleanup day people would go around and instead of taking the tv they'd just bust the back open take the copper and then like you'd have then really a piece of junk that no one wants they'd have plastic and shit busted all over the place yeah they'd make a mess i wonder how many people listening right now are collecting something that is abstract and not your traditional piece of collectible like just waiting for it to go up in value like leave a leave a comment down in in uh below this podcast if you're a hoarder of random shit yeah i'm curious i don't know what what people are thinking are gonna go up in price or even if
