Micah Buys A Porsche, Ben's Extreme Elk Hunt, & Ryan's Road Rage!

Mike shares a series of humorous and chaotic stories involving his recent purchases, including a $1,000 Porsche 928 bought on Whatnot, a platform known for odd, low-cost auctions. Despite the car's poor design and questionable condition, Mike sees it as a remarkable deal and plans to test, restore, and potentially resell it. The conversation also touches on recurring frustrations with tech and telecom services, such as Apple devices glitching and Verizon’s restrictive account policies that require a specific admin to make changes. A major theme is the difficulty of managing personal accounts and equipment, especially when one person holds unchecked administrative power. The discussion shifts to outdoor experiences, including hunting elk at great distances, where Mike describes a near-miss shot and the physical and emotional toll of long-range shooting. Another segment covers a coyote hunting trip using a thermal scope, where animals were spotted but never approached, raising questions about wildlife behavior and safety. The group also speculates about Tesla’s rocket car, which uses vacuum technology to drive up walls and corners, calling it an impressive but likely non-road-legal feat. Ultimately, the conversation explores themes of value, risk, and innovation—whether in vehicle purchases, tech failures, or outdoor challenges—while poking fun at the absurdity of modern consumer culture and outdoor pursuits. The idea of launching a vehicle auction on Whatnot is introduced as a potential next step, reflecting the platform’s success in niche sales.

well i got some crazy news boys i bought a car and a car a porsche they didn't explain much but the dude like you might have got scammed what do you guys think of this tesla car accident that thing's

a piece of shit it's weird i just got an apple tv hooked up to my house turned on for the first time it was glitching i had like a green bar across it it was super weird never had so much trouble with an iphone in my life it was hard to get it connected the fucking focus i don't know sometimes i finally got a new phone um i've been using ken's thanks for letting me use that ken for the last month and uh i tried to set it up couldn't transfer all the stuff over i don't know i've never had so much trouble in my life and so i had to go to verizon today that's crazy and we have like this business account but jake sherbrooke set it up back in 2018 or 2018 when he quit working for his dad his dad's thing that he was like holding over him was well you need to get on your own phone plan so he was

someone out and then they gotta like do some bs on the back side and yeah i was pretty yeah i walked in there i was like what even is this place like it was depressing what are you guys doing what are you guys doing because they just have like one ipad and they're just like they're almost on their ipad yeah i'm like i don't know it seems weird and then like they get it set up and they're like all right you're good there's like no like transaction or like you don't pay like they're literally just like in-person customer support interesting yeah that's literally all the store is yeah you should have bought a samsung i feel like well i'm at&t but it seems like every time you go in there and you're just like yeah i need a new iphone to be like oh have you considered this they just try to get some kind of kickback yeah yeah and i think maybe the iphone just sells them themselves so they try to push the other shit but i swear it's every time it's time for a new phone they're like have you considered the other options and the bullshit was i drive in there turn around and drive back which was no big deal no big deal happy to help you out i drive in there and he and he goes all right i'm just gonna send you a text and then uh can you press approve i press it and he's like all right you're good i go couldn't i have fucking done that from wherever the hell i was well when i initially was like oh my god i'm gonna send you a text and then uh can you press approve i'm gonna send you a text and then uh can you press approve i'm gonna send you a text and in there too i was like you know here's what i need and uh they're like oh you're not one of the admins and i was like dude you see me on the account like there's three people on this account and i'm the only one that isn't and i'm just like can we not do that please and he's like nah it's policy i have to and i'm like bro please this is gonna be such a pain and he's like sorry so i was like so i call ryan like dude i literally signed this guy's checks ryan comes in it was like 10 minutes waiting for ryan to come in and he's like dude i literally signed this guy's checks ryan so i like leave and come back and i walk in and one of his other co-workers starts helping me and i was like yeah i'm here and and he was like oh uh you need an admin for the account i was like yeah and he's like yeah you were sorry you were dealing with my supervisor i wouldn't have made you do that yeah you're like oh my gosh it was all good i got some coffee out of the deal but yeah whatever but are cj and i the only ones not on that plan yeah and i actually i do have the access i can get you guys on if you want so we're still paying for jackson we gotta still be paying for jake's no that's the funny thing jake's number isn't even on there oh yeah well he's just the admin he's literally just the admin jake could really fuck with us i don't want to put that out there but he could actually mess with us pretty good he deletes our e-sims that's something you do only to gavin he could though i guess yeah he's got our verizon admin which i'm gonna go in take him off and i'm an ad band and you two onto the plan we'll be nice to figure that out how much money would i save i don't know i mean how much money do you pay i don't even know i feel like 100 bucks a month yeah how much does it cost to add somebody yeah i got 100 uh like 180 that'll be pretty cheap if you're not paying for your phone that is i only have me on my plan and it's like 110 bucks a month or something it should be cheaper on the business plan it's gonna get to a point though like starlink is talking about or spacex is talking about dropping their own cell phone carrier so then it's like starlink which already has the satellites in the sky is basically going to just be built into your phone so anywhere in the world that you are you have service that'd be lit because when i was on pack saddle i didn't have service and i had to do the satellite text messaging and it does work it is nice like you can get a text message out but it'd be way sicker if i could have watched youtube while i was stuck on the trail there obviously in like hunting it's super popular where you have like an in-reach so if you're in the middle of nowhere alaska and you have this in-reach then you can like send text but i don't know exactly that phone yeah yep speaking on hunting ben yeah yeah yeah yeah you just got a fatty massive fatty got a nice one of the biggest elks i've ever seen yeah it horns were like taller than you bro and wider than the bed of that truck yeah it was big it was a big elk is it how heavy was that heavy you know i guess i don't know the weight of it but you had to carry it out because you were carrying bretta's i saw the picture of that i'm assuming you'd do the same to yours yeah you pack it though so like essentially you yeah you quarter it up and and uh then you pack it out but yeah it's it's heavy and especially which is it's a good problem but if you shoot a big one with a big rack the brush that you're hunting it is super thick and it's just dragging no so you're wearing it like in my case i'm wearing it as a backpack so it's it's up but the brush you know you gotta assume is i don't know just call it like eight feet tall right so you're still like in the thick of the brush and the rack gets caught on every branch it's a good problem to have but like usually like somebody has to be behind you like pushing you through the brush and you're like oh my god i'm not gonna be able to do this yeah how the fuck do they get around that's what's crazy wrong is they're so strong they just push through it then they just push through it yeah you can assume an elk is a huge animal but then when you're carrying the rack that it walks around with on its head through the brush as its everyday life and then you're carrying that through you realize how big and strong these animals really are was yours bigger than greta's yeah it was but yeah she's usually gets a bigger one than i do so both you two shot some massive elk she shot like a five by six and then i shot a six by six so mine would be bigger technically but both of them are built what they call it like a whale tail where it like goes up and then like the last like the sixth point or on greta's like the fifth point they kind of like go back and down so it's kind of like a whale tail on the split which is pretty cool because that's not like super common in elk and we both shot like whale tails so we're getting them mounted that'd be sick to like together we'll do something with your house or what yeah at some point you should i don't know i don't know where i put them in my house but put them above your stairwell there yeah it's a giant put it right on your seat yeah it's a big it's a big mount you know mounted your last one and would you this one or is this even no shoulder mount yeah yeah so you had you had the head and everything yeah because that's what i was wondering like if you want to like when you see the things of people where they have a fucking giraffe or whatever you know like they have the whole animal and it's like how do you get that thing out so that's what i was wondering like it makes sense if you just cut off the giraffes aren't in the mountains at that point that also helps is it just like a recreation or is that like the animal when they do the whole thing when they do the whole thing you can't like skin it essentially and then i think the rest uh you know knowing that you're essentially like anything that you any cut that you make they have to like go back together and stitch and yeah fix but i think when they do a full body mount like that like i think it's a fully different process of like they probably got it and then i don't know i'm assuming they're not doing it on the side of a mountain i could be wrong but i know that like at this place that we were they had like a full body mount and i think they had to like preserve the the body to like recreate it like that oh that makes my understanding so it's it's really difficult when you shoot any animal especially in like the places that we were like the pack out is like the gnarliest part yeah yeah it's so heavy how late in the day did you shoot it i shot it like right before sunset and then we found it 45 minutes after dark and uh you know you're able to get somewhat close like on like the nearest road but you got to pack it out like yeah up to the wherever the trail is yep makes sense i shot mine at 625 yards wow so that's far shot really far yeah it was like a crazy shot and so like you don't want to take a shot that's like going to be inhumane if you miss and it injures injures it um and you're not gonna take it out cleanly and like so are you having a fish in mind of like you don't want them to suffer you don't want the animal right so it's like kind of it's just humane to take a shot that you're not what'd you shoot are you at that length are you having to shoot above no so the place that we're at in colorado is essentially it's got like one road up top and then you're looking down on like valleys like this and ridges right so the elk finish the day at like the bottom of the ridge so like in the morning you'll start at the top of the road and then you'll go and you'll glass and you'll wait for them to kind of like walk up the valleys and then they'll go like onto the hillsides so you'll be on one hillside looking across the valley at the other hillside but that is like 500 yards to a thousand yards say over a quarter mile yeah it's so like three five a mile no it's huge country and when you're sitting on one hillside you're glassing at the other call it a thousand yards across you know if you find one you usually got to get in a better position to be able to shoot it so you're sitting on one hillside and you're looking across the valley at the other hillside and you're looking across the other hillside and you're looking across the valley at the other hillside and you're looking across the other hillside to like get a shot at it because you might find them but they're so far away and so where we found mine was we were glassing on the side of a hill and it popped out at the top of the ridge and it was either going to come down the hill and give us a better shot or it would have disappeared on the other side of the ridge and you would have never seen it again unless you were to go back up the ridge and then all the way around and go at it from like you know two ridges over to the other side but like you know that's just not real realistic with like how much time is left in the day and so like where it was on the hillside like i essentially had like i had one shot at it so if i wouldn't have taken like the 600 yard shot it would have just gone over the backside of the ridge and we would have never seen it yeah they call it like building a house where you know you set up on on a tripod and you try and get like as comfortable as possible and they like shove backpacks anywhere that you could potentially move and you want to be just like as set up as possible taking that far of a shot like any kind of movement you know it's 600 words it's it's gonna make a big difference and uh i set up it pops out into into an opening i shoot once and uh usually you can like hear if it if it hits or not it kind of makes like a kind of noise versus kind of just like a loud like you know open-ended it almost sounds like it's like closing and uh you couldn't hear that you couldn't hear like the so i rack another one steps down like another couple yards and i shoot again and that one you kind of hear like and i was like oh i felt good about that one but both shots the elk didn't move at all usually if you you hit an animal especially with these these rifles like yeah drops or takes off running right or you can at least like see the impact of it if you're watching through like binos or a spotter and both shots like the elk didn't even move didn't even move didn't do anything i try and take a third one and it kind of just like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like disappeared over like the ridge then and i was like oh my gosh like i just blew it i just blew it yeah like that thing's so gone and like the guide is like dude i don't know man i don't think you hit it either time oh no and i'm just like bro fuck i just blew the opportunity and also like if i did hit it it probably wasn't in a good spot because it didn't look like he was even phased right and so i'm just sitting there just like bombing yeah feeling guilty yeah feeling man feeling guilty and and uh you know at this point like the sun sets and uh like the biggest elk that i've ever seen and i'm just like damn i really blew that opportunity and then like well let's go and see if there's any blood so we gotta like go around so the whole endeavor to get to the other side and no you like walk back up to the road and you get like in the truck and then you drive around so we get over there and i hit the elk both times and this is how tough and and just strong these elk are like i i hit it twice and it didn't even move or look like it was hit either time and it essentially just went over the ridge and then died on the other side of the ridge wow where then we went and found it both shots it wasn't like perfect hard shots that would normally like drop it but it was like pretty good like vital shots they just yeah yeah didn't even yeah he just kind of just just wandered up the hill man there's gotta be some good meat yeah it's coming back jen was already texting me about that she's stoked because we have the bear and whatever and what bear lasagna and shit yeah don't take this the wrong way but i didn't know you were that good of a shot i didn't know you were that good of a shot to take using 300 windmeg he shoots a lot better than he throws yeah yeah it's like a seven millimeter it's a seven mm mag so it's like it's uh uh big boy yeah it's a big rifle but the biggest thing is they just call it building a house and being as as stable as possible so when you're walking so much and then if you spot a uh elk nine times out of ten you usually got to like stock it and get to a position that you can like take a good shot but in this instance like we were just sitting on the side of the hill glassing waiting and then it kind of it popped out rather than having to like go after run after it and that's where like you you know then you get in a position and your heart rates up after running across an entire mountainside and then you got elk fever buck fever and that's where it's really hard but in this instance like you know i can kind of like settle in and and uh feel better about the shot and that's that's why like normally you wouldn't want to take that long like that's a long shot yeah gretto's was like gretto's was the polar opposite we had to like run down a ridge the sun is setting you can barely see at that point and she shot from like standing up so really that's like the least stable and she shot it like 400 yards and uh shot it like through the brush like hers hers was hers was crazy hers was really good and just dropped it yeah what a badass missed and say you didn't kill it you didn't maybe even you hit it maybe would they have been like that's it well if you see look tell blood if you see blood you can assume that you probably hit it and it's probably gonna go off and die somewhere so you got to keep you're looking then you're on a hunt yeah you're on a hunt but if you can't find it in a situation like that like that's your tag you don't get to just be like well you know we couldn't find it so let's let's go shoot another one like that's yeah you know it's kind of your one your one shot that's so cool it definitely is there's so many different aspects that like make it so enjoyable like just the reward of how insane the animal is once you get up to it like it's so massive and grand and like so rewarding because it is hard like mine mine was a lot easier of just like we didn't have to like stock it down but most of the time in an elk hunt like it's so much work to get across these mountain ranges and to get in like a position where you can actually shoot it or then it's so rewarding but cj you gotta we gotta line up a hunt you would love it so much dude me and jake were uh coyote hunting last night for a couple hours yeah you guys get any i saw i saw your snap story of your thermal which is so crazy i think we got to do a better job of uh hiding and camouflaging we just were like i don't know like we it was our first time so we i got this new thermal scope i got a call so it's like you stick it out in the field and it's like electronic so you can like have coyotes howl and it'll like make the howling sound and i'm not kidding you we would hear them howling around us in the woods but they never came out you'd start with that then we'd switch to like an injured like rabbit or something so it's making that noise and we would hear ruffling in the woods around us but then they'd never come out shit that's scary a lot of times they'll come from uh a ways away right we gave it probably an hour and a half two hours we didn't have a ton of time but uh i don't know we're gonna give it another try tonight jake's like fired up oh yeah he's building the gun like everything um yeah it was fun though we were just chilling did you like see them at all on the thermal or is it uh too far away i think i saw one in the woods really far away but it just kind of was like it was like its head and it didn't do anything but i mean the deer we saw tons of deer mike it's running across the field yeah it's insane what you can see with those whatever yeah this it is actually crazy it's fun though you guys should uh come with you don't even need to have the gun just hang out it's fun also like the coyotes i feel like it'll feel really good taking some out just because you never know they could go after a little cheddar or bobby so like i'm just trying to protect the making the neighborhood a safer place yep getting rid of the bullies dude i think like one coyote looked up exactly how many but it could take out like 30 deer something something crazy kind of like a young young deer yeah they can take out the deer i know people like to hunt the deer for sport and maybe that's maybe that's wolves they're always just running in front of my car always be more they're always just running in front of my car they see me coming there's a run out yeah deer are fucking stupid dude so dumb i should talk about it every fall about how dumb deer are i was literally driving and there i just come over a hill in my vet and there's just three standing in the middle of the road it's concrete what do they like there it just says several per year it doesn't actually have uh okay maybe maybe it's wolves like one wolf yeah there's a lot for sure well they looked at packs too both of them so it's not like it's one it's like a bunch of them will all gang up to take you know the weakest or most injured animal out dude when coyotes are howling though it's scary like i mean howling or you know when they were howling yeah like howling and whatever i mean it would be a little bit better if you were hunting them with a gun but one time i was just sitting out at my dad's by the campfire and they were in the field right across the lake or across that like pond off to the left there so it's not very far maybe you know couple hundred yards and they're like yeah and you're just like holy shit your blood runs cold it's scary yeah imagine with those yeah imagine if there's 20 of them they could totally team up on you and take you down i don't think that would be bad maybe i'm weird but i i like it i think it feels like home like you hear a loon yeah coyotes i really really like hearing coyotes because i'm a statistical person so i'm like they're not gonna roll up on me and eat me i know i hope not mike yeah like i know it could happen you were by yourself walking through a field in the middle of the night which i don't know why you'd be doing that if you found yourself in the weapon but uh they could just team up on you how many coyotes you think you could take by yourself one what do you do you just it's okay if a pack of coyotes started coming at you you just try to kick but i mean you would get bit basically immediately yeah you gotta do like with a shark you gotta punch him in the nose well yeah you gotta say bad dog i'd be kicking though i wouldn't be putting down but like that's the thing is like you can only kick and then it's like cannot run chad is saying that coyotes typically don't like adult humans but they do they will go after children oh shit also statistically that makes sense a smaller target don't let your infants play out in the woods yeah in the middle of the night yeah yeah i felt that walking through the woods carrying packing this elk i'm just like dude i feel like there's a mountain lion watching me right now i just want a snack then i just start and then i was like you freaking myself out how many coyotes kill humans each year coyotes kill on average of zero people per year oh nice nice there's actually two ever in the u.s one was a three-year-old and the other one was a 19-year-old folk singer and what's this i don't know why they needed to put out that he was a folk singer but he was out there singing tunes and uh yeah it's like when a commentator is like both fighters in the ring have actually been in domestic disputes dude the nfl does that sometimes yeah it'll just be like oh my god i'm not gonna do that i'm not gonna do that i'm not gonna do that like currently going through a divorce yeah currently you know being sued for yeah embezzling money he's back after his uh three-week suspension zero points since his suspension it is still under investigation like it's just like don't even say first touchdown since his dui well i got some crazy news boys i bought another car jeez i thought you're gonna say half pipe i did another half pipe i saw that yeah congrats on that mike just hilarious when i was like oh you where you headed i'm headed to brainerd i bought it from aiden his his family owns bir he had his half pipe he had to get rid of i'm like well i mean probably gotta take that off your hands so i just put in my shop for the winter and we'll find a home for it this summer but i bought a car car a porsche hmm kind of poor shitty one really yes cj a shitty one this story is crazy this so i bought a porsche arguably in my opinion one of the uglier porsches to ever exist so 928 damn how do you know that ken's got porsche ball knowledge porsche ball knowledge mtv jesse one of the nelk founders yeah i saw his instagram shopping on whatnot i was i was so he's like hey guys i'm going live on whatnot i'm gonna sell my whole collection like he has he has a bunch of like sick clothes designer like whatever like a bunch of bloody sunday a bunch of full stand a bunch of old nelk boys i'm gonna pop on there and got a couple jackets i was like enjoying it i was just enjoying like hearing him tell the stories he like collabed with this other thing called faded show and i think that's the guy who like paid him to do it i don't really know how it works it was like a split screen the whole time and he's just selling his stuff it was fun hearing him tell the stories and then so yeah bought a couple jackets and then at the end mike this is like an attic walking into a bar like this is a bad place for you to be but dude then at the end i don't even know what it was but it's like a white full send car and it was sick i don't know the civic is a civic yeah it's a hatchback yeah i thought so they're like the guy just goes should we should we sell the car and i was like there's no way there's no way i'm like i have to bid on it if they sell the car and you know like then they go down his warehouse is actually huge he also has a half pipe in his warehouse he goes down to this porsche and then he's just like fuck it should we sell it should we sell the car on here and i was like there's no way they're gonna sell the car on one of these cars and i was like i don't know what to do with this car what not and you you bought a car off what yeah because at one point he had this like gucci jacket and you can set the price you can set it to like a 10 second bid a 15 second you can set it to the sudden death so when you like bid it adds time you can set it to whatever you want so like this gucci jacket they put at two thousand dollars and then somebody's like yeah i'll buy it for two thousand dollars no one outbid him so two thousand dollars but this car they're like well we'll start it at a thousand nobody bid on it did they oh shit it was local pickup only so i'm obviously have to figure that out but i am but i am i'm flying to la on friday yeah it's a small detail this car for formula drift but i'm gonna be in los angeles are you gonna drive it home maybe i don't even know if it it runs the the dude i'm sure it's easy to work on right yeah right no the dude that was easy they didn't explain much but the dude you might have got scammed bro thousand bucks you got it for a thousand bucks yeah yeah i i bid on it i bid on it and then somebody else is like well shit they are actually they're like no we're running this so then a couple people bid and it went up to 1170 so holy shit okay yeah damn nobody wanted this car oh dude let me see this where they're like fuck we shouldn't have said 928s 928s are like the least desirable porsche they are i don't know what they look like i gotta see this keep in mind for like mint ones we're still looking at like 20 grand might have been a good investment mike your dad's buddy has one it's that car oh yeah he does it's not it's it's not a good looking car but uh all right here we go here we go it was just crazy i was like and i had a deal dude and i had like whatnot credits so that that wasn't even real money like wow mike like how much do you buy on whatnot enough to get credits mike hitting us with these one liners gosh dude it was so funny i'm like and then people like once it finished they're like wait yo he actually just got that car for 1200 bucks okay he's showing the warehouse here sick mini yeah it is a porsche what number though it's 928 all right we got any starface fans in here this was the car yeah he says it needs a battery yeah it says it needs a but it's a thousand dollars start on a porsche all right let's fucking do it dude it's sick it's got brown interior this is nuts we're about to sell a fucking car on fader someone has to do this dude someone's gotta get this shit come on la la la pick up title and everything this is yours title and when he said that that's when i bid that was the sales he knew it was you yeah because i was bidding on other stuff throughout the show why do you call it money mike because people in the chat were like yo money mike's in here we're cooked he's gonna buy everything bro you're getting a 928 porsche for a thousand bucks they're just like can't believe it how much money you spend mike how much money did you spend overall on this stream like 1500 oh with the car with the car that's insane i love the sales pitch with the battery no no with the title oh needs a battery oh so yeah crazy dude like crazy so you got it mike yeah you got that thing it's gonna be worth more than that it's gotta be worth more than that we spend more than that on a car for a demolition dirt right that was just my thought and let's say let's say like that's a good deal to ship it let's say to ship it it ends up being like two bangs still less i'm still like spending i think it'd be and i think it'd be honestly fun to like we'll see what kind of shape it's in it'd be fun to like like paint it yourself or something like do like i can't wait to see this thing we're getting the call it's bricked at the fucking ken comes out with the mallet breaks the window it's convertible so we don't have to worry about that but like it's like i'm in the middle of nowhere california right now trying to drive it home and i made it 20 miles down the road i can't imagine they said this in the sales pitch do you happen to know how many miles it has on it no or features is it an s no i'm sure it's like the lowest so based here chad is saying they're worth about 15 to 45 000 that was a good investment it's crazy probably your best investment ever dude that is not do we even know he mentioned the battery's dead is there anything under the hood or is the motor in the back i don't even know where the motor is on that car but i was scared i'm like it could just be a rolling chassis that's what i'm like can you open the hood at least for me you're good to go that's at a thousand bucks it's worth the roll of the dice yeah that's where i was a little confused like so most whatnot sellers they'll be they're up in your grill like they're like good condition just minor scuff here like size 10 size 10 bid now sorry they're they're ripping they're like auctioneers right but jesse's just like yeah this is pretty decent yeah like oh yeah i got this when i first moved to la like he wasn't even like saying the size so then like sometimes it's confusing same goes for the car he was just like dude yeah 928 this is crazy and so i don't the guy who was filming or like rolling the camera also was named micah so it was really confusing because they were like referring to him but yeah he just goes yeah it just needs a battery i'm like if it actually just needs a battery this is insane like if i drive it out of there after picking up a battery at o'reilly's or some shit Mike, are you soloing your trip to L.A.? Yeah. I mean, I got buddies down there, but yeah. So I'll get a ride over to Jesse's. I feel like we got to go there with him. Or send somebody. Send Ken with a GoPro. Yeah, put a GoPro on Ken's head. I was going to say send Peyton down there. Let him drive it home. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Peyton, can you drive it home? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't want to, but I will. So we'll see. I'll have a free day Sunday. We're going to go to the FD banquet at 6. So I have Sunday morning until about 6 o'clock to get this car. Dude, that's pretty legendary, Mike. Where do you put it directly after you get it? I'm going to either try to find a subscriber, somebody. Somebody. I genuinely don't know. But I need to find somewhere for it to be for like a week. Permitting I can find a shipper. I've heard that before. It's in a week. He just needs a home for a week. You could probably just talk to Jesse. He's going to have a guy, a transporter pick it up. I didn't catch the story. Like, if he's moving out of his warehouse. But I was thinking that, like, once I get there, I'm like, hopefully. He needs money, Mike. He knows us, right? Because I don't really think he would remember us. We met him way back in the day. But I don't personally know him. But, yeah, I'd like to think, like, hey, can I work with me here? So I just, yeah, bought a Porsche for $1,000. What a deal. On what not. That's pretty amazing, Mike. That is pretty amazing. I get my shit for $1,000 nowadays for a car. I was tripping. Like, as soon as Sydney was watching me in the auction, I just, like, went. And she's like, what'd you buy? And you're like, a car. I just bought a Porsche. Yeah, ever since we got a what not deal and Mike did that deal. I've been addicted. You have been fully addicted. You've been what not. I've got, like, 30 pairs of shoes, like, 30 Milwaukee tools. That's where you got all those Milwaukee tools? All the tools we used for the tree house, like, clutched. Because I felt like loadout was crazy. I saw that pile of Milwaukee. I'm like, where did this come from? Mike's what not loadout. Yeah. I didn't tell Mike. I felt like. You got a good thing going there, Mike. I felt like. Dude, I actually have a what not deal I'm doing with him on Black Friday. Just going live for an hour on Black Friday. Yeah. And I don't even have to sell anything. I just get to give stuff away. So, yeah. Hey, money Mike. It's crazy. It's crazy, dude. Do you? Yes. What? What? Dude, you're such a valued customer at this point. I know. I was thinking about waiting to tell this story to see if they'd want to give us a brand deal for the podcast. I'd love that. I mean, all this stuff you're supposed to give away. What not? Yeah. So, what are you doing on Black Friday? You're just giving stuff away? Yeah. They gave me like, or giving me a 10K budget to buy gifts to give away. So, like, whatever I want. Tools, PlayStations. You know, that doesn't go. Holy shit. Mike is the face of what not. Dude, you're actually like the ideal guy for what not. You need to get a banner for the window. Like, we do the reboot truck and the twisted teamiata. What not. No, but it's Mike's personal. This isn't. See, boy. It's just Mike's spare time. What not. Oh, that's so funny. And what not. Yeah. And what not. Then I was thinking like, yeah. I was like, I definitely do want to give away some C-Boys stuff. So, we can obviously implement that. Like, whatever. Give away some C-Boys gear. Probably give away some stuff that we don't really want, but it will be worth something to our fans. So, would we be able to start selling vehicles on what not? Yes, but. Yeah, you could. Especially if you did local pickup. It's essentially Junk Tank, but online. Online form. And it is crazy. Like, you could. All I'm saying is, I'm not saying you don't have time for this. You don't really have a need to do this, but that big pile of clothes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is just a theory. My closet? Yes. You would just hold it up and be like, oh, this is actually sick. So, this was from our third drop when Jake was still whatever. And then someone would bid, you know, 65 bucks on it. I'm laying in bed one night and I just hear Mike's voice. I'm like, man, I spent a lot of time with that guy. I can just hear him all the time. There's a pile downstairs. He's got a ring light. He's dead. He's downstairs in my guest bedroom selling my clothes out of my closet. Dancing for galaxies off your TikTok on the side. These are all the same size. There's no smalls. Okay, guys? See, it's in it. You can tell it's authentic. Here, let me just prove you that it's authentic. You, like, go upstairs. I'm sleeping in bed. This is straight out of his closet. Damn it, Mike. Stop whatnot-ing in my house. Adding, like, a storyline to it, that's what gets you, like. That's a pretty funny prank. Say you got into someone's house when they were out of town. And you just started selling all their shit. Look at Ken. He's looking around. He's like, oh, fuck. We sell all of Ken's furniture. Oh, God. Oh, God. And then we replace it with Amazon furniture. I think we take a year off from our auction. So we did the Seaboys auction last year, and we sold a good bit of stuff. I'd say we made a dent. Yeah. Made a dent. Like, we still had, like, so much stuff. Made, like, an El Camino-sized dent. It cleared enough stuff out of the barn. Yeah. We filled up with new stuff. Right. And it got. I'd say we're probably back to where we were plus a little bit, but I think we just wait one more year, and then we run it back. We could get a real auctioneer this time, too, if we wanted. I think we should. Yeah, I thought Ken did pretty good. Ken did a damn good job, but I think he did a great job. He didn't want to give us the. I can't talk that fast. You just need more beer. You can. It was straight vodka. You slur all your words into one. And you get very passionate. That's true. Imagine putting the passion into sales. Can we please send Ken to auctioneer school? I saw this reel that was like. One month, he's gone. Yeah, like these kids sending your dog to training. This kid's going to be good. In school, they go day one, and they're pretty bad at it. And then day eight, and they're pretty good at it. Just eight days? Yeah. So this is day one? Sounds like boomerang. That's day eight. Ken, eight days, we could transform your life. What a niche thing to be like. Right? Yeah. I'm going to go into auctioneering. I want to be the auctioneer. I'm not knocking it. It's just like something. You don't really think about that as a career, but it is. I wonder what those guys' average day looks like when they're at the bank, and they're like, oh, so. What do you do? Oh, I'm an auctioneer. Oh, can you just give me a little bit? Just give me a little hit. I bet they get that a lot, actually. Give me my cash. Give me my cash, cash, cash, cash. Got a 20, got a 20, 40, 40, 40. Ken, I think it would come in handy. Think of the next time you're going to buy a car for a negotiation tactic. You would be a salesman, and you're just. Full auctioneer on them? Yeah. That's full. I don't think that's how negotiating works, Evan. I know you've never negotiated before, but that's not how negotiating works. It really isn't. Why couldn't. Why couldn't. Why couldn't it work that way? You just do the reverse of running the price up, and you're trying to run the price down. Yeah, but somebody has to. A little down here, a little down there. Like, I guess you would have to auction and bid if you were, you know, doing the bartering. You want $2,000, you want $2,000, $2,000. Best I got is $1,800, $1,800, $1,800, $1,800, $1,800. Don't need no undercard. If you meet me at $1,800, $1,800, $1,850, $1,850, $1,850, $1,850. Give me some free window tint. There you go. Yeah, the guy. You're not buying $1,800, $1,850, $1,900, $1,990. Next thing you know, he owes you a new tank of gas, a wrap. Yeah. Going through the drive-thru, order it. Like, dude, being an auctioneer can be pretty funny. It's only eight days. That's nothing. With great power comes great responsibility, though, Ed. You know, you can't be abusing your auctioneer powers. Ken, how do you feel about it? Depends on where you have to go to. Who actually do you think would be. Louisiana. If we all did eight days of it, who would actually come out the best? Worldwide College of Auction. Auctioneering in Des Moines, Iowa. Of course it's in Iowa. All the ones in Iowa. And you're like, why? Well, because they auction off so many damn cows there. I can see Mike being good at auctioning. Yeah, I was going to say, I think Mike. I think I could do good at it. Oh, it's $1,800. He's a sponge when it comes to knowledge. I'll try some YouTube tutorials and see what I can conjure up. Mike, I seriously think that this could be something big for you. You're on Whatnot as the Whatnot auctioneer. Yeah, I like it. We'll see where it goes. It could be big. It's all about me. I like the hustle, and I like other people that hustle. From our crew, I could see, like, Mechanic Gavin, actually, being pretty good at it. Yeah. He was the look. He'd be determined. Yeah, yeah. He'd be locked in on it. Get a big, like, cowboy hat on him and some nice shaggy shoes. I'm just already picturing. I pictured Peyton. He's just like, can I get 20? Give me a 20. Oh, yeah. And then, yeah, then they bid. He goes, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I love that guy. I met somebody who was a. Mortician the other day. How do you get into that? I don't really want to go. But how do you just be like. Is that, like, a generational thing? It's a dying business. Nice. The guy that I know, his son followed his footsteps into it. Yeah, that actually makes. Almost everyone I know is. It seems like a family thing. It's a family thing. Is it lucrative? Yeah, is it lucrative? I think it's always going to be there. If it charged, like, 10 grand for a casket, it has to be lucrative. Man. Yeah, it does suck. It's like, you're going through this rough time, and then they're like, yeah, yeah, this thing is. So much money. If you're the mortician and also the owner of the funeral home, I think you're actually making good money. Unfortunately. Some of those caskets are nice. What's your. I'm not even going to say. Mike's is just, like, printed in money. Classic. He's got a gold casket. Before he died. It's so fucking heavy. Before he died. His kids think that he's, like. It weighs, like, 20,000 pounds. He's passing down, like, the money or whatever. Dude, he's buried with it. Mike. He just goes out with a gold casket. Gold casket. And then he requests to be buried with the rest of his money. I'll. No. I'll give him. Yeah, no, I'll give all the money to them, and then the best I can do is a hydro-dipped money casket. We'll save some cash there. He'll do it in the cheapest way possible. He'll do a gold leaf casket. Shit's flaking off on the way down. It's flaking off as it's going out. That guy just. It really wouldn't matter, though. He always tried to save a buck. It wouldn't matter. The fucking handle breaks off. Dude, have you guys seen the Tim Robinson skit of that? He's trying to pitch a show where the show is called Dead People Falling Out the Bottom of Caskets, and all the people are like, dude, we can't air that, and he's like, you'd be surprised at how often it happens. Oh, my gosh. I didn't know he was actually talking that. So funny. No, it doesn't actually happen. I thought it was like a set-up prank thing. Totally. Did they do that on Jackass where the casket rolled out the back of the Hertz or something along those lines? Classic. That's funny. Jackass is on streaming now. Is the new movie just really. I did catch it. Is it just old clips? I liked it. No, I still haven't seen it. Would you say like 30% to 40% new content, maybe? But what it was is it's 100% worth watching, and a lot of it, from what I remember, was like documentary style, kind of like they roll something, and then all the guys are talking about reliving the moment and stuff. No, it was definitely good. I just was expecting all new footage. It definitely was not all brand new stunts. Yeah, I liked it. I finally watched it. It was good. Definitely worth a watch. What's the review out of 10? Six and a half or seven. That's probably about where I am. Yeah. It's about what number they're on. It's kind of sad, though, too, in a way. When they're reminiscing, it's just like, God damn, kind of an end of an era. We got to the end of it, and Sydney goes, oh, this is kind of sad. And I was like, what do you mean? She's like, they're just done, and they just did so much stuff. And she's like, this is how you guys are going to feel. And I'm like. Oh, yeah. Damn. Yeah. If we make it to it, what's Johnny Knoxville? Fucking 55? 55, 56. Yeah, I'll be very happy. That's what I said. I was like, if we're making our final thing, and we're all together, and we're reminiscing, and I'm like, yeah, of course it's going to be sad, but that's the best thing you could think of. Were they sad? Yeah, I mean, just the sentimental. Yeah, you could tell. Yeah. A little sad music kind of, right? Or whatever. Yeah, just looking back, montage of all the old shit. Yeah. Yeah. Are they done, though? I think so. Yeah, yeah. Haven't they said that a couple times? Yeah, it's called marketing. Yeah. This is my last album! If I were to bet on it, I'd bet they're done. Yeah. They kind of would say that, but it was such a huge production to, I think, some of those first movies that they didn't know if it was going to be sustainable. You know what I will say about it? Their intro was awesome. And their intros are always awesome, and they go way above and beyond. And yeah, when you watch the intro, it's just like, the room would move, and so it looked like the floor was moving, because the camera was stationary. And so, like, yeah, they were running around, and the wall would, like, hit them or something. Yeah, it was good. Yeah, I saw that on Instagram. I feel like I've been, like, so out of the loop of watching movies or shows, or even YouTube videos. I don't know. I've been busy the last couple months. Actually, like, the last year, like, I haven't watched, like, sat down on the couch and watched something for so long. Sam, this was, like, the first weekend that I've chilled out. I actually have a couch now. I haven't had a couch in a while. Oh, yeah. The horse wasn't, yeah. The horse wasn't that comfortable to lay on. No. But, so, yeah, I finally got a couch, and I laid down, and I watched probably three movies this weekend. Nice. Dude, Ryan just. Were they good? He knows how to fucking put some movies down, man. I can get a movie done. This dude knows how to lay. Nobody watches more TV than you and Alondra, I swear. Yeah, we're good at watching TV. They are. They always know a good show. We do. And, I mean, shit, Alex and I crushed, like, we used to watch Euphoria all together. Oh, yeah. That was fun. That was fun. And then, like, sometimes we might bang out a movie after that. And then. Just keep this party going, huh? And then, like, I'm not kidding you. Sometimes Ryan and Alondra are like, what do you want to watch next? And we'd be like, ah, we better get going. It was easy for us. We were about to hit two movies back to back. But, no, it was. Yeah, no, they got a good show. They're up to date on it. A great show that you should watch is. It's on Netflix. Tyson. Four-part mini. I guess, I don't know if you want to call it a mini-doc or what. It's like a series. But it's just about his whole life. And it covers basically all the way from the beginning to the end. And a lot of the stuff I kind of already knew because I was always a big Mike Tyson fan. But for someone who maybe doesn't know or doesn't know everything, it is by far the best thing you could watch. Most entertaining. Most well put together to, like, just hear stories. Is he in it? Yeah. Yeah, he's, like, talking about things and stuff like that. It's just funny because, like, you could tell, like, the director would be, like, trying to ask him something. Like, just do it. He's just doing his job of, like, why did that make you upset? Or, I don't know exactly. And he'd just be like, because it did. Why are you asking me if it makes me upset? And then, like, everyone is, like, okay, moving on. Yeah, that's one guy that you don't want to piss off. But, yeah, no, it's just cool. He's had a. That dude had a fucking rollercoaster of a life. Oh, my God. You guys should all watch it. Even Alex liked it. She felt sad watching it for him, which is crazy, you know? Which, I mean, it is. There is some very sad parts. It's always interesting when people have, like, a rise and a fall, and then they rise back. His was a full-on rollercoaster ride. Yeah. I feel like there's a lot of people like that. Yeah. That are, like, legends in the space. Like, to do it once is impressive, but then to do it twice. Is always something. and a comeback. Have you had Dalton come to your hometown this weekend? Oh, yeah. What was he like, dude? Did he stay at your house? No, no. He. I don't know. He had some get-together with some of his boyfriends. Or some hockey friends or something. Is that what they call each other? Like, when girls are like, I'm getting together with my girlfriends on Friday. He's like, I got my boyfriends over. Yeah. So, I really don't know exactly what he had going on, but he had something going on and was just like, yeah, I'll be driving through town. You want to play golf? I was like, well, me and Slim are already going to be playing golf. So, we played some golf. We went out and got dinner the one night. We were supposed to have a bunch of plans on Sunday, and then first thing Sunday morning, he called me, just like, yeah, you want to go golf again? So, we went and played golf again on Sunday. Yeah. It was like a little North Shore golfing trip. It was fun because he was fixing the mower on Friday, doing something. He's laying on the ground. I go, are you playing for the weekend? He just goes, yeah, Duluth. I go, oh, nice, nice. Is that where your girlfriend's from? And he's like, nah, just solo ripper trip. Like, okay. So vague, bro. So vague. And why are you fixing the mower right now, then? He's like, what are you doing? We have mechanics. Why are you the one under the mower? We're like, what are you doing in Duluth, then? He's like, well, golf. Well, all right. Well, sick. Have fun, bro. I'm like, I'm out of here. Yeah. And so, it's good to see that he linked with you to do exactly what he said he was going to do. I think his girlfriend was supposed to come. She had something come up or whatever. I think that's why they planned like a nice scenic North Shore trip. And he had mentioned to me like, yeah, when we come through, we'll like go play golf for a little bit and carry on. And then. It looked windy. At least the snap you sent. Maybe on Saturday. Heavier set guy. He looked like he was about to blow over. Yeah. I think. Yeah. Yeah. Saturday was windy. Yesterday was actually beautiful. Yeah. Yesterday was a banger. Yeah. Good weekend. Dude. What about the hickey on your neck there or whatever the hell? You might have to lift your neck up so you can see it. Oh. Yeah. Me and Nikki were doing some wheelies on the old Grizzly 700. And apparently, she thought the best way to keep herself on the wheeler when she was about to fall off the back was just grab the hood of my sweatshirt. So, in other words, she was about off the back. But it was her own fault. Classic. Sounds about right for me. Well, because she should. She didn't know I was going to do a wheelie. She should put like both arms around me, but she was doing some hybrid style grab where she was like holding one hand like on the rack and one like hand on me. And then I think also it might have been my technique. I kind of like didn't get the wheelie up right away. So, I kind of did the quick brake check, throw the weight forwards and then immediately like. Oh, yeah. Yep. That'll get you. Back and, you know, it was all right. So, she went off the back and just grabbed your hoodie or was about to? Yeah. Yeah. She didn't fall off. She was just like holding her entire weight, which wasn't too much. But, yeah, by my neck. It was fine. I didn't even set it down right away. Wrote it out a little bit until I needed to breathe. And then I actually, I mean, it kind of sucked. It felt like a little rug burn, but didn't think anything about it. And then it was the, it was like the next day. I was just kind of like, oh, my neck. It was a little sore. Looked in the mirror and it's kind of aggressive. I thought she finally got a grip on that chain that you wear. Well, that's what I almost thought it was at first. But I think it was just strictly C-Boys TV sweatshirt. Yeah. Didn't rip. Did not rip. What do you guys think of this Tesla? The new Tesla. Is this fucking real? Is this real? Yeah, let's let. Yeah, yeah. I agree. I don't think the rocket version is going to be road legal. Okay. That's. I, it's, it's really cool, but I think it's just going to be ungodly expensive and it's just not going to be road legal because it only seats one person. Oh, the rocket. That's perfect. The rocket one. That is actually kind of. The rocket only seats one person. Yeah. And when you say. What's all the other car for then? I could totally see. The rockets. The whole back of it is like. Only one seat. Can't ride with me. The tanks. Well, I haven't seen like the, it's like the back seat is tanks. No, there's no, no back seat. There's no, you know, it's like a super car that just has like, you know, you're the back of it is just a wall. Basically. the whole back of it is like the compressed tank. and other shit you know you know what i think obviously the feat in itself is unbelievable if you haven't seen the video of the new tesla roadster driving up the wall and then driving upside down to drive upside down but it's got vacuums on the bottom it's like the rc cars you've ever seen that drive up walls same same technology but only you get rc card mike but it's really meant so you can like it can suck itself down so you can hit hit corners harder and like because the tires won't do it teslas can finally suck themselves yeah so essentially vacuum cleaner technology yeah it's just vacuuming itself to the floor which that that other car travis pisson drove it i think yeah where you can like drive it around as fast as possible around corners but obviously the feat in itself is insane and when you think of like the future you think that there'd be flying cars which essentially this is like on the way to being a flying car in some form or fashion but the fact that they were able to like build it and do this and it never got legal or like anything ever came out about it yeah like it seems crazy the only thing about saying this was gonna happen was a joe rogan interview from like 2018 with elon yeah where he said he was gonna make car the flu yeah and everyone just discounted it as oh that's not possible it's never gonna happen and then eight nine years later here we are obviously they can like do the testing and in a controlled environment but like you know when there's a new corvette for example coming out like they have to like do like the the road test of it in some way or like the track test and there's always like that photographer that gets the shot of it on the track or like something like that i think they're bringing it to more like public tracks so like they have to like bring it to the fucking nuremberg or whatever and then they right like they haven't even released the road legal one yet or even close to it but i think a lot of times these manufacturers are intentionally doing that because they want to build hype for a vehicle and you know tesla was just kind of doing that yeah they don't want to have any publicity so just no okay we can't go to a public setting are you on a list for 10 no i'm not isn't it like 250 grand down you can buy one if you deposit five thousand dollars right now and then in seven days you have to wire them 250 000 that will deliver until 28 and allegedly because they said that about in what 19 they said that's the non-rocket version any version you want you have to put five thousand dollars immediately and then 250 000 in seven days so is that the total cost of it then apparently no it might be more that's just for the non-flying one yeah that's just for the regular yeah performance one so not even like the the rocket assisted 060 i only saw just the 15 second clip of it going up landing did you see the kickflip i saw that that was satisfying you know i wasn't real very impressive i think it's really cool how if you were to have flying cars what's that look like for the rules of the road is it just free roam like are people going to be flying over your house what if they run out of battery or whatever the fucking crash on your license is that just make the all of the public roadways now like when do you just get two layers i don't know you imagine being stuck in a red light there's like 40 cars ahead and he was i would 100 do that no that's what like they go past all the other traffic going this way they showed the roadster like kickflipping over the dui checkpoint that would be an insane ride yeah fucking ride in that like thrust you know how much g's that probably is that's what was weird it flipped flipped upside down like it was like made out of paper and it's clearly a very heavy car there were rumors that's like 60 000 psi or something to make that stuff work yeah so like how much g's is that i don't know how many g's i just gotta think i mean the amount of air you have to compress down to make that work has to take forever to charge a problem for that thing to just drop out of the sky like a piece of scrap metal that's a good point i i guess i was just picturing like once these things start shipping you know immediately on social media like first new roadster crash video of like some idiot yeah like what does that look like if say it's invite only right for the rocket thruster version of it right so it's like wait do they all what kind of qualification do you do you have and i just know i don't that's a good question i'm not hating i'm just trying to understand yeah i'm just trying to understand i don't doubt that there will be flying cars in the future i saw that uh ron desantis the governor of florida he came out and was like these will be road legal in florida of course of course if it's if it's gonna be anywhere dude am i the only guy though that's just like not that pumped on the idea of flying cars because like if everything moves to flying cars it's like i just like cars the way they are but i don't know if it's gonna be anywhere right now like i think they're fun i like gas i like the sound of them i like you know driving them yourself not just like hopping in it and like i don't i think it would take a we're a long hopefully i think we're a long ways away i personally would love a flying car i personally would i think that would be really sick but like if i also want a helicopter right so it seems like a good uh just get a helicopter you can drive it yourself fly yourself i do i say i do like the design of it it's kind of like that 80s retro like countage kind of mirror thing that's really cool i like it so porsche dropped their new hyper car just got completely out like 2 p.m in the afternoon and like the internet was kind of going crazy at least the internet that i'm on hear about it yeah exactly so everyone was like wow this is such a cool car wow like can't believe it this is the coolest car to come out in so long and then like three hours later tesla drops that and everyone was just like oh my god this is such a cool car holy shit porsche just got mogged it's a hybrid dude i remember elon talking on on joe rogan a couple years ago of like when we do the press release for the new roadster it will break the internet dude mike we're such big porsche guys now right dude i just like yeah of course i've i've wanted the mission x basically since the day it came out three days ago yeah you like are at the porsche dealer like yeah i've just been trying to get an allocation i've been working my way up you got yours sitting out front i got a 928 i towed to the dealership just needs a battery you gotta sell those one of the funnier parts of the whole thing was like yeah it's a really ugly porsche can't 928 just new right away all that knowledge he's got people originally paid 250 000 for the original founder series roadster really and they originally advertised it at as two hundred thousand dollars i thought it was like people put fifty thousand dollars down in 2016 so just call it 10 years ago 2017 but for the founders they initially put 250 000 down 10 years ago wow and they just haven't gotten that's insane that would have been worth like five hundred thousand dollars if you would just put it into the if you put fifty thousand dollars into tesla stock it'd be worth 850 to nine hundred thousand holy shit that's what people are saying he's doing he built well one-off prototype to get a bunch of money yeah and then now he'll be able to do other things with it that isn't even related to the roadster but you know but he also did that 10 years ago exactly what's throwing me off is that this massive down payment and if i recall the down payment for your allocation for your tesla cyber truck was a hundred dollars am i right on that i don't remember it was a yeah it was very minimal yeah i remember ryan being like a hundred or five hundred yeah because i i didn't know that it was a hundred dollars and then i never even got it but but at least i got that ev home yeah that was like you're you're just your allocation money but like that's all it took to you know secure a spot yeah yeah it is he's driving that today you know he's gathering money i know it's like what starbucks does you know well load money into starbucks and so then they can use your money as they're like essentially a bank and what they give you like four percent no starbucks doesn't give you anything they just give you little stars what you can't just get free coffee yeah you just get like rewards but why would anyone do that then i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know you have to pay via the starbucks first off you said you don't get anything and then i heard rewards so what are we getting free starbucks currently holds 3.61 billion dollars in cash occasional free coffees but yes in order to use the app you have to load your money it's kind of like venmo like you just have money sitting in there and you go oh well this is my starbucks money but mine got hacked and then i like shut down my starbucks account in haste didn't tell you he told you so your starbucks got hacked yeah some they just started sending 20 gift cards to people because it's linked to your credit card oh i just apple pay it and then i well because if you connect with your american express you get more rewards delta points and so then anyway they were they sent out like 75 or 60 in gift cards and i noticed it because i was like what the hell and then i just canceled it and they gave me my money back and but then i shut down my starbucks account it's perfect because i think they think i'm hacking do you guys see that they're planning on building a 16 billion dollar campus who's a tesla and space x makes sense 16 billion dollars surprises doesn't buy much anymore to my understanding it's for like chip chip manufacturing like doritos gets in there as a chip tester he shows up he gets hired he gets hired he's like wearing this shit he's like he's standing there they start bringing him out he's like no you guys put him in the white gloves and he goes this must be to check on how much dust i get he's like all right okay let's try He goes, "Where are the chips at?" And they put him in the break room, He's eating the chips. He goes, I don't see why they needed to build such a big place for this. You know, like when a mechanic gets hired, they're like, bring your own tools. Evan shows up and he brings his own cheese dip. It's called queso. He brings his own salsa. How long have you been in the chip industry? Well, professionally, never. This is my first day. I've been a consumer for quite a while. But yes, it is for manufacturing AI chips for vehicles and other purposes. Half of the expense of the building just went into the bathrooms. Shit, dude. Base salaries range from 57 to over 210. Total compensation over 300K. For chip tester. Like from Lays or from like Tesla? That was NVIDIA. Okay. And how. Not Frito? What does chip testing look like? I don't know. I think it's just taste, texture. Ken shows up. He'll put those chips to the test. Holy shit. We've never seen. We've never seen. For item. Any use like this. Worked them so hard. Holy shit. He just takes his. Deleted another one. Make it undeletable. Ev's only into the Frito-Lay testing, though. Yeah. Frito-Lay is. Is that Doritos? Cheetos? No, Ken. We were talking. Never mind. We're talking about you deleting fucking eSims. We've never seen such swiping power. Ken, you need to get two phones, bro. I. And two watches. Fucking two Apple Watches? I was thinking about the Duo, but then I just decided not to. What do you mean Duo? You couldn't take the heat? Has anyone seen one yet? You can't get those things until like January now. What is it? So they're not. Oh, yeah. It's an Apple Watch. Oh, I thought you said you hated that. I did. And I thought about it, and then I. A guy like me is going to ask a guy like you, what's another two months? Yeah, what is. What kind of difference does that make? No, but it's like, I got this one right away. Why would I. Well, it's true. You already. Yeah. He's, you know. He's resistant. I really don't see what would be wrong with having two phones, Ken. What do you do with two phones? One for the plug, and. One for the hose. Did you know that Kevin Gates actually was talking about having four phones? Really? Yeah. He explains that in an interview. Really? He's like, I got two phones, da-da-da-da. And then he's like, I got two. Then he says one for the. So he's technically. Yeah, it's four phones, if you actually listen to that whole course. So you need four phones, Ken. Just get an iPad at that point. Ken, you got. But you can't fold an iPad. A fucking normal iPhone, a foldable phone, and then he's got an iPad. Get one for his work friends and for his real friends, and you can keep your group chat separate. And then one for all your leaked phone number attached to it, for all the calls. I was actually considering getting a new phone number, but. I think it's time, Ken. We actually do need to cut back the group chats. There was a lot going on last week. That's why Ken gets a new phone number. He's like, I was just sick of the group chat. I became what I hate the most last week. A Minnesota Vikings fan? Yeah. No, Evan. No, I break checked someone. Driving through DL, doing 15 over, and this chick was. Fine, I'll say it. This bitch. This bitch. This bitch. This bitch. This bitch. This bitch was behind me, tailgating the shit out of me, and there was no one in the other lane, and I had to turn, and I was driving fast. Oh, that is hard. So you are saying you're in the left lane. I was, but it's in town. But you have to turn. I understand the predicament here, but I can put myself in her shoes. Exactly, because I get super frustrated when there's someone there. In the Corvette? No, it was in my Hummer. And she pulled up next to me. I break checked her, and then I sped up again to get out of her way, and then I moved over into the other lane. I was going to drop back behind her, and she pulled up next to me, and she went back to me, and she went like this. How did she know? I wasn't even fucking mad. I wasn't even mad. I was like, you know what? That was good. How old was she? Forties. And she was in a hurry. I'm in a hurry. I tell you. Tony had a small dick. I think so. Or she maybe said, wow, that was close when you break checked me. I don't know. It could have been anything, but she gave me this on the way by, and I went. Yeah, I was like. Damn. Dude, you know what this one lady did? It was the day after my wedding. I was driving home from Brainerd. She's tailgating the shit out of me. So then she flies past. And keep in mind, I drive pretty quick. Yeah, I was going to say. That's what I'm like. If you're tailgating me at 15 to 20 over, I am not the problem. So there's semis and all this stuff kind of jamming up the road. So we finally get around that. I'm not mad or anything. I'm like, perfect. I'm going to let this girl drive in front of me. Get pulled over. She'll get pulled over first. I think she started getting sick of speeding. But then I was like, no, you passed me. You get to keep leading. So then I was just riding behind her. And then she was kind of like, but I was just staying there. And it was like she would try to speed up to get me off her tail, but I'd just keep along with it. I'm like, I don't care. We can go 100. I'll keep up. So pretty soon, she starts hitting her windshield washer stuff. So it's like going up. Then she's hitting the back. Then she's hitting the front. Oh, my God. I'm trying to figure out. I'm like, is her windshield just really dirty? But it does seem weird that she'd be washing the back. Maybe it's an accident. She looks back and your windshield is going. I'm just like, I'm just having fun at this. I don't even care. So then finally, she gets over and she starts going so goddamn slow. I'm like, all right, now it's time for me to get past. So I go around and I just was like, was that intentional? I was trying to figure it out. And I look over and she was doing the classic resting, but middle finger. Oh, man, hit you with that. But she had to have felt stupid because she was tailgating the shit out of me. I finally let her buy. Then she starts. She flies. I'm like, oh, nice. We'll both go fast together. And then she took it the wrong way. I just set the cruise control at 90 with the closest following distance and then just let it fall the car in front. It was kind of nice. Yeah. Jesus, kid. I was curious. I was going to work out today. So I was on the two lane highway. There was like a combine that's going from the entire the ditch, the shoulder had that on. Yeah. Whatever. I don't know. It was big ass track with a huge trailer thing behind it. I don't know what it was, but it was hanging past the center line. So from the ditch across the center line and about a quarter mile ahead of it, there's two in a row Amish buggies going. Oh, fuck. And they run the shoulder. But that tractor was going faster. And I'm like, what is going to happen when? Because he can't go around them. But I don't know. Pulled up next to Amish. Get off the road. I wanted to pull over and just. To see what was going to happen. It had to be a complete cluster. No, I just had to keep driving. But yeah, I was like, there's going to be a situation here. Maybe the tractor just goes slower for a while. But how many Amish get hit on the side of the highway a year? A lot. That was Timmy said they were fighting for the reflectors. Yep. That still threw me for such a loop. Like, yeah, what kind of things do they. You're trying to change. Yeah. Yeah. And he's like, yeah, too much reflectors. That just seems like a no brainer. Are they trying to not be safe? And not be seen? I don't know. Those buggies do blend in depending on. Yeah. Just a little black buggy. And also, like, since they're running, usually like metal skinny wheels, they're they're not like dipping into the ditch. It's got to be on the shoulder. So their left wheels are really about on the line there. I'm an advocate for more reflectors. I know each community is different. I was just at Target yesterday and there's some Amish people at the self checkout next to me. Did you start talking about the reflectors or? No. Hey, I'm an advocate for more reflectors and they're on the anti-reflector. We drove an Astrovan here. What was Timmy doing here last week? Just stopping by? Just hanging out, dude. Just pulled up. Good kid. He is a good kid. Checking out our barn build. Well, him and background Seaboys guy, a.k.a. Peyton, are boys. They're going to, was it Honduras? What? Such a random place for both those two to go to together, but they're going to Honduras. The country. And they did something together like a couple weeks ago. Timmy showed up and they played Xbox together to do what is Peyton doing in Honduras? They sponsored him. I guess like they're big fans over there in Honduras. He's huge in Honduras. In the lawn mowing community over there? Yeah, he's huge in Honduras, Peyton. Weird geography is Honduras. Wait, so why are they, what are they doing there? I have no clue. He, he told me this when we were building our tree house and I was in such a rush. I didn't have much more. I was confused and I, I had to process it. Wait, Peyton told you this? I don't know, I dig too much. Like what are you, I'm pretty sure they're just straight up going to have a good time. To Honduras. Peyton and the Amish dude. Honduras, a third world country? I think so. Central America. We should send Ken with. Jack, do you know about this? Yeah, I know a little more. It's Peyton's buddy that has a spot that he met at Octane Fest. He has a spot in Honduras. So Peyton and Timmy are going to go to this buddy's spot. When? No idea. And he doesn't, he said he met the guy like three times. Uh, and did Peyton get someone to cover the lawn? Yeah. You know, he does what he wants. He goes at the right time. Maybe between snow and lawn. Yeah. What a legend. Hitting the off season in Honduras. Yeah. Dude. Holy crap. I would love to be a fly on the wall for that trip. You guys catch Amish. Timmy's got his driver's license. Yeah. And he drives like a psychopath. Like, yeah, he used to have a fucking horse. What's your favorite part about driving, Timmy? I like speeding. I mean, who knows the car that he was driving could have came with the dents, but it has like a dented bumper a salvage title he said he got a good deal on it oh yeah maybe uh peyton's doing like uh you know how you like study abroad to like learn other skills he's going to honduras to learn how to mow lawn down there you know how sometimes when back with just a scythe yeah when we're like hanging out at the farm and someone leave you just do like a little pull down the driveway but we're building the fence and timmy does this pull in his honda accord or whatever it is around the corner almost goes off into the field over kind of slows down a little and then just hits the highway and boards it down me and big wrench and jet we just can't laugh any harder than that it was just funny just like what's happening right now because timmy's like a small guy you know in the little hat on it's just revving that honda to the moon gone it is crazy how much theo von changed his life yeah like do you think that anyone will ever change will there ever be a more pivotal moment in his life i don't think it's possible people's lives i don't think there could be any more of a polar opposite of a lifestyle to go from he just like meets him and his life isn't just permanently forever changed he did that one year ago and think of all the shit that he's experienced since then just showing up in his car and just flooring it around our driveway it is cool but where all the other guys are building fences he told us when we were working on our treehouse he he was like you know we were chatting with him he's like that was still the most fun weekend i've had of rumspringa was was with you guys and i'm like that means a lot my guy it's pretty awesome it means a lot surprised timmy helped us with the fence a little bit and uh i don't know exactly what went wrong the fence posts were not set the same distance like they all varied a bit and timmy just couldn't he kept asking us like why why aren't they the same like wow we're not the ones that set them timmy we just gotta put these well we we would have just put them the same distance then the boards would just go on it'd be easier yeah well swinging them in same for we were asking him about something what do you think we should do on this wall timmy he goes well what what did you guys make the pitch of the roof like we don't know you don't know the pitch of the roof dude he was so good though he came in as just like coming to say hi and i was like perfect timmy we need your help and uh he was like honestly this is this is a lot of work and i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh this is nice because uh i went from like doing this kind of work all the time to now i don't really do it very often and uh i kind of feel like i'm like not as much of a man of just like growing up yeah he was just like i used you know this was this is what all i did and now i don't ever so he was like this is it feels good to do this like it feels good to be here and uh i was giving him the measurements and like when we were building the treehouse like you put the board in there thinking that it'd fit and like more times than not it would be so off and we're like how did you manage to mess up that bad and i was i was up on the ladder giving timmy the measurements and he would hand me the board and it was like the most perfect fit every single time i was like damn timmy i don't know what you're doing but we were clearly not doing the same thing yeah and then he'd be like what goes up there i'm like i don't know i i uh haven't measured it yet and he's like i got it next thing i know he's scurrying over there running up running the tape measure like i was like man you are amish dude in a couple days forget how good the amish are building stuff and obviously the barn is a good representation of that they did incredible work i'm surprised you guys didn't just hire a full crew i figured you guys were gonna like couldn't afford it we were already over budget i figured you'd have gone to like home depot and picked up some of those guys waiting around looking for work or that's not a thing here yeah i wish if they did we if there was people outside of menards we would have considered people were asking us what to do at menards little did they know true we're idiots that would be nice to be able to do that though i feel like we would do that and then pretty soon we would just be like hey you ever held a camera turns out you're kind of a legend you want a job yeah we'd have typically anyone who comes around they end up sticking around it seems like more times than not like you could just pick up some homeless guy off the corner he'd spend half a day with us and be like yeah you know what i kind of like that guy hey do you want to you can do this this will be your job you can stay here and it's like you can do this this will be your job you can stay here and it's like you can do this this like every week that goes by we make a new friend that's a part of the rolodex you never know when you're gonna need a guy to do a thing that's true it's serious dude you never know when you might need that guy to do that thing pause should we talk about my fuck up let's let's do it which one was this now ken so when you're at you know we're planning the treehouse stuff oh and i realized okay we need a crane so go on my phone i type up jace high power crane literally it was jace high power crane was the contact okay and you know look back okay all the text messages it was me and him talking about lifting up different stuff in my house and then shoot him a text and he's like oh yeah i'm in florida i'll be back on tuesday though and what was the text that you shot hey we get the screenshots yeah can i send them to send the screenshots yeah put them up on the tv so we can put them on tv put them up on the tv we need to see the text messages okay let me finish the story but after i can i need to see the text to have it the whole context ingles says number the text just disappeared so like no he deleted them because he looks no what we're just gonna have to get jace's end of it then if you don't want to share the screenshots let me see if i can find it so can i just add a little bit i'm just gonna add a little bit of context to this so i wouldn't mind hearing jace's side all right so there's two jaces the one jace is the guy who we've used numerous times to crane a vehicle into a spot it's not jace who is our friend who was actually at bachelorette party that evan slammed him into the edge of bryce hall's pool yeah he fell into that pool anyways so there's two jaces i think what happened is ken had both of them in with no last name because chances are he didn't know their last yeah no he didn't then he then clicked merge contacts or something of that sort and it put both the numbers under one jace he then texted oh i had jace looking to get this crane and texted the jace who got slammed into the pool he goes hey yeah i need this lifted up i need some help with this jace is like yeah i guess i can come help you know like i'll be back on tuesday but no it was it was when i had texted j crane jace it was in it was all in the same thread though so how come crane jace didn't get that i don't know because it was all in the same text

thread from when i had texted jace previously it's like now that i because both these contacts got merged and it was somehow one text thread with what i had sent previously to crane jace and then other jace was all in the same oh my god i don't know how the we're waiting for the crane guy and i see jace paul i'm like oh this isn't the best time we're kind of busy and and he's like looking at

i just texted no but when you talk to him on the phone jay said sounds good beast i'll be there he always says beast and you didn't pick up on that no i just honestly tune out certain words where it's like i don't know turn out beast is high power jace the guy in like my bachelor group chat no i because holy shit he has to be surprised did you not think that that was maybe they were the same guy well no it's so it's like i have the name jace and then you don't have any name on it though oh because i deleted it because it was jace high power crane in the company name not last name i don't i genuinely don't know how jace ingles said and jace high power crane i couldn't believe it i was like this is this is a prank you gotta keep in mind i just know you're like jace high power crane we need this guy here today i just assumed you got a hold of my phone and fucked it no it is something you would do though safe assumption that's a great bro i wish when do you ever let anyone hold your phone let alone your password you take my phone and hey we need to go shoot this so i was like okay you take my phone you fucking film something the only thing that kind of added up for me is your computer was broken so and ken wasn't even giving me a straight answer i'm like ken has he used your computer well i don't know no i'm like no he's been asking to use a computer the past few days has he used yours well not that i'm aware of i'm like whatever i mean dude i wish i could take credit for it i really wish i could take credit for it i didn't know if they were synced you could like swap contacts or something god i wish that would have been one of my best pranks yet it would not have been nearly as funny at jace's expense so what was jace's reaction then like afterwards did he just like so i was like so i just straight up drove out here for nothing yeah i've been thinking about this all week during my vacation i was wondering what i was going to be doing i just wanted to make sure i wasn't getting slammed into a pool it is it is heavy equipment i need you to lift this camper up it's like bro how fucking strong do you think i am it is crazy or how desperate are you for men we have a lot of friends i think how many guys are showing up when he pulls in and there's just no one else there he's like what you could text so many of our friends and they're not going to ask too many questions because we do so much goofy shit no i'm not surprised that he showed up crazy that he didn't ask too many questions because we do so much goofy stuff he didn't ask like a ton of detail like he got just enough detail like oh we're moving no matter what it's gonna be jace is blindly loyal he is he gave me just enough information where i just assumed everything was good bro that is so funny oh i'm in tears so then he's sitting there just like god damn it now i'm the laughing stock of whatever is going on again he's like god damn it he's like is this a prank was he like is am i getting pranked yeah he was confused everyone was confused it worked out good though dude jace had a high power crane he's three hours away he goes yeah i'll just go there after this job i guess we're like oh my gosh thank you thank you it's like he shows up at like six o'clock keep in mind out here so he has to drive another like he's the goat wow it's crazy actually how many times we've had to call him up though and he shows up oh it's one of his easiest cranes yet though i mean it was in and out in under an hour yeah he was quick and also it was like something that's not very expensive yeah like he could hit a branch or two and be yeah man that is insane just goes to show that he's the best man in the world he's the best man in the show he is loyal he knew that he had to keep that a secret because then like i didn't know any of the details of it until uh he's thinking like are we surprising ben what do we got all this shit oh wrong guys if ben calls just say you're busy he's like
