Ryans Near Death Experience, Fan CRASHED At Our Shop, & Ben VS Evan

The group shares a mix of humorous and reflective moments centered around personal mishaps, fashion debates, and lifestyle observations. Ken narrowly avoids a serious accident during a rainstorm while driving at high speed, citing hydroplaning after hitting a puddle—a moment that underscores both danger and the group’s lighthearted self-awareness. CJ’s knife injury adds a physical layer of risk, reinforcing the dangers of unskilled handling. The conversation turns to fashion, especially the controversial trend of ultra-short shorts, with members agreeing that the style has gone too far, showing a generational shift from 2015's salmon-pink shorts to current near-Capri lengths. Tattoos are celebrated as personal, often drunkenly created art, with members sharing stories of their designs and mutual admiration. The group also reflects on the growing influence of AI tools like ChatGPT in education, noting how students now rely on AI instead of traditional study methods, and expresses concern about diminished learning and problem-solving skills. A standout moment is the rev-bombing of a car at Zorba’s, which, though reckless, is framed as a fun, over-the-top gesture. The group’s deep connection to Zorba’s—highlighted by social media buzz and fan engagement—shows their loyalty and community spirit, even without formal sponsorship. Overall, the discussion blends humor, personal anecdotes, and observations on modern trends, creating a candid and relatable narrative of friendship, risk, and lifestyle.

- Do you were flipping that knife around and you cut yourself? - Yeah, I did. - That's not a good look for the knife guy. - I don't love hot dogs as much as everybody thinks I do. - I was a bad reader. I had to like get pulled out of class and go and like read in this closet. - I think I almost died on Sunday. - No exaggeration was looking out the right side window in my car at 80 miles an hour. - Are we gonna talk about what happened filming last week? - Don't you come on. (beep) - Second. - No more than that. - Yeah, get it out, get it out, get it out. - Get it out. - You don't want to say. - Matter? - Dance. - And when you could have saved that. (laughs) You didn't have to get that out. Ken, anything you want to get out? - Ooh, nothing that I want recorded. - Smart. Hurry up, let one rip. Ken gets up and goes to the bathroom. We're like not that. - Not that. Well, we're back boys, we're back. - Back for an hour. - That we are. - Back in black. - We're back in black, I see. - I didn't realize that, but yeah, I'm pretty murdered out. - Dude, Evan's been out just hitting the boys hard if he doesn't approve of their outfits. It's summer, shorts are back. And Evan's not holding back on his opinions of their shoes. - I almost think that CJ's had maybe the more vocal opinions. I've certainly agreed. - I think you are. - Me? - I've never said anything negative about yours, and that was, CJ was the one ripping you a new one also was. - And I was just like, yeah, agree. - Jack was just mining his own business and you go, your shorts, man, what are you doing? - I think you said they were gay. - I think it was, well, you also started that saying, this short short trend is gone too far. - You didn't start it. - I do agree. I mean, I've been vocal about the short short trend since about 2015. I just think they're a little too short. - It's tough though, 'cause like, you're literally rocking them right now. - No, I'm talking short short. - Please hang out at the top of my knee. - Evan, these aren't short shorts, Mike. - To me, for the same length shorts as you. - Whoa, I think you're blacking out. That was CJ. - I remember on the track. - I remember that too. - Was it on the track? When did I do it? - Before that. - Yeah, you know, I don't actually even remember anything about that. I thought it was just really just roasting Jack for his short shorts, which was pretty warranted. I will say that they were pretty short, Jack. - But they don't think they were short. - This picture, like the stereotypical frat dude in 2015 with like the salmon colored pink shorts. - Like that shit's what I'm talking about. Like I'm just like, I'm glad that trend is gone. And now it's like five on that. 'Cause you look at like what the kids are wearing. They're like, damn near Capri's now. - Dude, Jack, it's done. - He pulled his shorts down and there's still eight inches above his knees and he pulled them down. - I think we can all agree. I think we can all agree that five inch in seam isn't okay. - I don't know that it is that way. - Yeah, where are we putting this at? You know, where's the in seam at? - Five inch is definitely out two short. Seven I think, seven to see. Those are like five inch, those are two short. - If you don't got five inches in your shorts, then I guess you can get away wearing them that short. - Your in seam is good, but your tightness is just awesome. (all laughing) - M's got, M's got other problems. You know, the length is one thing, but the tightness, the moose knuckle of his. - I'm sure that's right. - I mean, it's damn near. You gotta give a warning before walking into some of these rooms, but this is funny how full circle it went because if you guys have noticed, maybe in the couple, last six videos, a couple times, Dalton's like, "Ken, your shorts are so short." When Dalton actually rolled in at 18 years old and told us all of us, we need to get shorter shorts and was rocking damn near underwear for short. - You know, he's definitely changed a lot in the last two years. - You're welcome. - Some of these shorts that are being worn, if you were wearing a little bit too long of a shirt, it looks like you're not wearing fucking pants. Like, I mean, that is too much in my opinion. - That's just too much. - There's a guy at the gym. He's older guy, but he is jacked. I know you guys know who I'm talking about. - Exactly. - Jacked. And I swear, he wears underwear. - Yeah, I saw him be put up and he got smaller from like-- - Dude, they're shorter. It's like damn near, not even past. Like, it's damn near like speed almost, yeah. - He's got him kinda high. - But I mean, it's tough 'cause it's like, if you're that jacked, you can kinda just-- - Get away with it. - You can kinda do whatever you're gonna do. - I don't know if you're jacked, if that makes it okay. I've just-- - I think it's different when you're in the gym than when you're just walking around the whole thing. - If it's like a performance thing, but I don't really know what kind of performance you're gaining by that. - See, I have noticed your shorts have gotten a little shorter now that you got the tattoo popping. I feel like I've noticed the short will occasionally get pulled up. - I will say. - I will say a little bit. - No, those look fine. Those look fine. I'm just saying occasionally I'll notice you're sitting and then it'll just be like this. - Well, yeah, it's like-- - Show it off. - Sitting like this. - Mine's like high, mine really has to be like-- - I want to. - Like I gotta be wearing like-- - Mine says wide open and the laundry's like, "Can you just either have a not show or it says life wide open?" - The laundry does not like-- - Right, he just can't win. - Well, that's just, I just mind just a little too high. And so I like CJ's placement. - No, say I was gonna say like, years is in the Primo spot Cody. Sherbrook's is also way down-- - Cody's always running his. - Yeah, I remember you being like, "I want it to be pretty high." You know, it's gonna be hidden and same for like, dude, I just forget putting it. - You could get another one right below it. - True, Mike. - Yeah, literally. - The same thing. - I mean, as a joke, I've entertained that idea. I'm like, "What if I just rocked another one?" Dude, I will say this. I did a way better job of drawing all of your guys' tattoos than my own. Like, my-- - Mine doesn't even look like any of yours. I was so drunk when I did mine. (laughing) It doesn't have the same style as everyone else. - It makes that you can talk about being drunk and getting your life right open tattoo. (laughing) - Why? - We all did. - Well, me, me, Mike, and Cody. - Oh, we were more drunk. - All right, Ed. - Well, do you take away from me? - I was drunk. - I was drunk. - You're talking about your dry eyes. - Yours is good. - Yeah, yours is good for your eyes. - You think-- - I actually-- - Yours is like not good. - No, I think yours is more of like, the standard of what all of them look like. - Without the X. - Yeah, yeah. - But mine was like, I was just like, one eye open, and you're just-- - I think yours is good too. - Yeah, I'm glad you did a good job drawing mine. - I did a great job. - Yeah, yours is really good. Yours is really good. - And I was mad that you guys would go out and get them without me after sending me back to the hotel saying you're gonna meet me there? - God. - But I will say it worked out in my favor 'cause I kinda got to like see your guys's and I was like, there's this too high. Like I wanted it right here, but I also saw Cody's his is too, in my opinion a little bit low. - So I was like shit out. - Even in my drunkenness, after Gavin got married, I knew, okay, I need it like in this vicinity. And it turned out great. It also had helped being at an actual tattoo parlor, not just a tent on the side of the street. Or leaning up on-- - It was a restaurant. - It was converted into a fucking tattoo shopper. - So whatever. - You know, I, yeah. I just started tattoo gun sitting on our pool table. So I got lucky. It actually worked out in my favor. There's really no greater honor than somebody wanting to get a tattoo of our brand on their body for the rest of the day. - There's a lot of 'em though. - I know, it's crazy. But it's like, do what in honor? - Unfortunately enough, I feel like a lot of people can look at it. And if they don't know, they're not like, oh, you have a brand tattooable to Logan. - Or you, you don't know, I agree. - Makes it a lot easier to like get the brand when it's-- - Yeah, to slogan. It's like represents something. It's not just like a brand that-- - Imagine probably Nike's logo on your arm or something. - Yeah, right. Then it's like, what are we doing here? Put it on your forehead and at least charge 'em. Send 'em an invoice for some marketing. - Have you seen Nate's or one of our merch workers? - Dude, he had that before he worked for us. - Yeah. - Yeah, actually cool. He's had that before. - I didn't see what took with his. - Looks great. - He's just around the side. - On the side of the hat logo, like thick right on his ribcage, it's, it's hard. - Heck yeah. - Yeah, and he had that way before it worked out. - He still think. - It's crazy. - Uncle Rich might have the Marliest one. - It's a little bit different than what, but I mean, his is a true work of art. - Yeah, he definitely put the most time and effort into his tattoo. Like ours are like scribbles, you could even call it. Where his is like a full on Seaboy's logo off of a t-shirt onto his skin. - He didn't have you there to draw it. So he was like, well, what am I gonna do? He's got to pick a logo. - Yeah. And then he was like, all right, I ran a Seaboy's one. You get a puppies and coffee one. I was like, shit Uncle Rich, I feel like a dick saying no 'cause you got ours, I do appreciate that, but that's a big commitment. - Shout out puppies and coffee. - Yeah. - Shout out Uncle Rich's puppies and coffee. - Maybe not put it on my ankle. - Come on, Rhett. - Ankle. - I don't know. - Trampstamp? - No. - Not a big fun to the male butt tattoo, honestly. - Not a lot of guys out there now. - A lot of guys out there, lower backs even. - Ooh, the fuck do you know that's got a male that has a trampstamp? - Not, I don't know any that have trampstamps, but I know of quite a few that have butt tattoos. And a lot of them are, they're pretty funny. - Yeah, that's fully committed. - You know, that's fully committed. - I first thought Rich had more tattoos on his leg than just that one. I love that he put fucking Cripes on it, yeah. - That's insane. - Yeah, if you gotta start saying Cripes again, dude, for the sake of Uncle Rich. - He can't let Cripes die. - It's kinda like the butt tattoo nobody will ever see unless you actually want to show that. - I don't have a good butt, I don't want to show that. - You know who definitely doesn't need a butt tattoo? - She's 80. - She's 80. - No, he has no butt. - Shreds. - Where do I put it? - Yeah. - Ev, I saw that you got a new Derbike. - I did. - I did. - I did. - It's good to see, actually, I saw that and I was like, the kids back on the butt. - Super pumped. - Shadow-based. out of Billings Montana, Sean hooked it up, that's super sick. - And that would be why it's not a warrant. - That's why it's not a Suzuki. Also, this has been probably two plus years in the works, Kyle was getting off of electric. - Kyle was socky, he has been teasing. - Oh, now you wanna Kyle was socky, listen. Listen, Kyle was socky, he's been teasing that they're gonna drop a two stroke and they'll be constant posts that pop up and he's just troll posts, like Honda's dropping a two stroke. - That shit's not gonna happen. Kyle was socky literally today, or was it last night? - Today. - Yeah. - Drops a 327 fuel injected two stroke motocross bike. - Damn. - Six. - But that change-- - Three. - One of sevens. - I mean, do I want one? - Of course, but does that change the fact that I got a brand new Yamaha 450 anniversary edition? - Absolutely not. - No, it's a sickest bike ever. - Hold on, no. So they dropped a 327? - Yeah, so bigger than my KTX. - What's the equivalent of that in like a four stroke? Like a 500? - I mean, they're just trying to make it keep up with a 250 four stroke at this point. - What? - The 250 four strokes have literally like surpassed the 250 two stroke, 'cause they're just so good. - Back in the day, a 250 two stroke and a 450 four stroke were comparable, but the four stroke technology is just so far. I mean, maybe the 327s, I guess would be making a run at the 450, but it's just-- - Didn't they stop making two strokes because of regulations and emissions? And so why are they allowed to know? - Well, I think this is how they have to find a way to be able to meet emissions and so make a two stroke at it. And I think it was patents to like with fuel injection systems, like once KTM locks something in, I think it's hard. - Or you know, everything. - Yeah. - Yeah, it's different. - So it's like fuel injected, so that's sick. - Nice. - I think it looks great. It's great, it's a good looking bike. - Speaking of gone from 250 to 450, how did Diggs do this weekend? - I meant to watch it, I was on the course. - He took fifth, right? And then Jet Lawrence took fourth, I believe. - Okay. - I think that was the ranking, but-- - Dude, that was the first time I've ever cared about like an outdoor moto race, like after it happened, I was busy, I didn't watch the race, but as soon as it was done, like I was looking up, like who won, like I was just like invested. Like there's so much shit talk between the two. I don't know, I think it's like amazing for the sport. - There's so many people going in there too. I mean, it's like between those two amazing, and then there's like 10 other contenders. - Dude, people just love to see a good beef. - Especially with racing. It's fun to have, 'cause I mean, everybody's competing, but it's fun to have like two people that you're either rooting for against. - Yeah, for against it. - Or make the whole thing more interesting. Especially with Dirt by Gals, we were out on the course, C.G.N.R. at a bachelor party this weekend, so I played 36 holes of golf this week. - Dude, I had to have sucked, I don't believe it. - 36, I don't believe it. - Did you know what I'd say, like 72? - Yeah, everybody else played more the day before, but I was on Thursday, we were working, but I was out there on the course, and I was watching it, and they were like, oh, this like goes for a while, and I go, yeah, like the last two holes, three holes we've been playing, like they had been running wide open the whole time. People, non-Dirt by guys weren't pressed. They were like, damn, you, that's like a lot of stamina, 'cause they were watching soccer, some shit, some team sport. And I was like, look at that guy, he's standing there, doing nothing, I go, look at this guy, he's hitting whips and triples, like. - Dude, they're the most fit athletes. - Yeah, they say. - I would be the whole thing. - I was also watching the outdoor, like it's sick 'cause they go faster, but there's so many breaking bumps and so many ruts and so many like, bumps. - Yeah, it's intense. - It just looks-- - It makes SuperCuss seem pretty smooth. - It does, obviously it takes way more technical riding. - It's timing, yeah, yeah. - What like, dude, the ruts and the breaking bumps in outdoor looks so brutal. - How was your guys' bachelor party weekend? - It looked awesome. - You guys were so far dude, you guys do it pretty big. - So get this, so like, it was a combined bachelor party, two of our friends. And I would say how I fit into this crew is, some of these guys were like, my best friends in high school, like guys I went to school with. And then the other half were like, guys that now Ryan, Matt, and college, so like we kind of-- - You guys came from two separate threes. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - There was like three Venn diagrams of friends that all overlap. - But it was like an awesome crew of like, probably 22 guys. And we were basically golfing, staying at this cabin, resort thing. And then there was a Zorba's in the area. So we were hitting Zorba's two nights in a row or running up hard, man. - Yeah, I felt like I was still talking about you there, guys. - Not good things. - Yeah, it was fun. It was just a lot of fun. And, I don't really know if I have much to say. - I just was, I just, was anybody bundled? - Oh, dude, everyone was bundled. - Yeah, CJ and I did our best to make sure everyone was bundled by the end of the night. - Did you behave on the golf course to some extent? - Yeah, we did. I played, when I got there Friday morning, I was like, all right. I have more golf to play today than I've probably ever played in my life. - The last place you kind of-- - Probably Ryan kind of calls it. - Yeah, by like, or, yeah, two, three. - I'm pretty much done. So I'm like, all right, it's 95 degrees. I can't black out like I did a Benz bachelor party. I'm gonna actually try to play some golf. And I think you guys would've been proud. I mean, I, I had a couple double bogies. I had one par. - That's good. - He was in a group ahead of me. I was surprised he was playing. Like, after whole nine, I kind of figured he'd have been, just like, you know what, Pika had, I just kind of figured he'd just be sitting in the cart drinking a beer. Just, but he was swinging. And it seemed like he was like on the green at the same time as other people. And I was, I'd be a little more to get there. - Good job. - I was surprised. - It's fun. - I was surprised he was playing bad. I was surprised he was playing well, no. - At all. - I figured he would have tossed the talent. It was so goddamn hot the first day. - Yeah, it was. - Dude, I've been seeing comments on just like, different golf videos saying like, shrink the sport. Like, golfers that are like, purist, and maybe hard, more hardcore golfers are trying to get the new guys back out. - I was actually like golfing through the, courses are busy and like golf is kind of like, a new hyped up thing that like everyone's doing and like the guys that have been golfing, the golfers are like, get these guys out of here. - Off my course. I actually golfed with the first day pork guy, dude. I hadn't seen him in a few years and he's the GM of a golf course. Like a very nice golf course around here. I'm like, dude, I'm sorry. I go, it's gonna be a fucking problem today. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna do my best, but like, this is gonna be bad. - I've been in a mile, Ryan's in a 10 feet. - Yeah, exactly. And so he was like, no, it's okay. And basically we had a conversation after a whole three and he was like, it doesn't, it's not a problem if you play bad as long as you play fast, which I had been doing. Like, I don't even bother fake setting up for the shot. - Fake set. - I go, what the hell is it gonna matter? I'm gonna whack it and it's either gonna go good or it's gonna go bad. And we talked about like, what's your take on growing the sport, shrinking the sport? And he was like, listen, I was a manager of a course. So it's a double headed thing where we want more people to play, but he goes, there's a lot of people that come out on bachelor parties that are like really disrespectful. And he's like, dude, as long as we are respectful on the course, it's good that more people are playing. 'Cause he's like, it could have died. Like bowling or some shit, you know? - Wow. I mean, it compared golf to bowling. - I don't know, an old man sport. - I do agree with what you're saying. - So he was like, no, I don't think the sport should be shrunk. But he is like anything, 5% of the people should not play. - Dude, I will say one thing. I'm so, I'm tainted to like golfing during the week. When I go to the course, I can get my own cart, whether I'm with two or three of you guys. You know, the wildflowers are so good, dusk. They give us our own carts. We can play nine holes in 45, 50 minutes. And there's no one in front of us, whatever. If I go golfing, say on a Saturday, me, grandpa, on, whoever, we go to a different course, or really just any course, just because that's when people have time to go. Like, I'm like, what the fuck is this? Like, wait in a round. You gotta like wait at the next hole for them to get farther enough to the head so you can hit. Like, if that's how it was always when I'd go golfing, I don't know if I'd like it that much. Like, I don't like the waiting part. - Yeah, I guess it depends like what you got to do that day. Like, if that's the, that's what you're doing, you know, but if you're like four hours, I'm out. - Yeah, but I agree with what CJ is saying. Like, I don't like to overthink it. When you can just drive up to your ball, you know, check your yardage, grab a club, hit it, and keep moving. And then you do that throughout the week. And that's just how you're used to playing. Now, when you double your time, you get to your ball and you stand there for five minutes, 10 minutes to hit. I think it throws your whole program off. Like, now I'm overthinking shit. And I'm just, I like to just keep things moving. - Right. And I said before that, even when I'm playing fast, I'm not playing fast enough. So I don't know, I don't know what's going on there. Like, you just, you just operated at a different speed. - I do, but like, it's fun. - Even when I'm like, I get to my ball, pull up my club, hit it, and then like, like I said, I lose my ball a lot. So that's, that's where most of my time goes. Now that I think of it. - I definitely feel like I can play a lot faster when I'm in the cart alone, and I can just go straight to my ball. So go to somebody else's ball, I just lose my ball. - Yeah, actually he's a pretty fast golfer because he like damn near doesn't even give himself enough time to like put the ball on the tee. Like, if he misses the tee on the first time, it just falls off. And it's right there, he's just like, eh, it's all the same. He's just hit it off the deck. - He doesn't even look first. - Right now. - He's just going from drop to drop. - And after he hits it, like he needs, he gets roughly a hundred balls to play around. - He's like, it's like, it's like what, is delivered. Realistically, you probably get three shots per ball. Like you probably go through what? At least 20 balls, at least a nine. - A solid 12 in a 18. That was 12 in a nine. - That sounds about right. - She's 24. - 24. (laughs) - It's all expensive. - Golf Course loves to see Ken come in though. - I do a lot better in the spring when the grass is short and I can find the ball in the grass. If it goes into the grass, I just give up and drop the ball. - Yeah, well that's good, Ken. You keep in the pace, play, moving. And I agree, sometimes when I'm out there playing with my buddies, they're playing, not that it really matters, but it's like a shit golf ball. It's not like a brand new pro V that you kind of want to find. And I watch this thing go 100 yards into the rhubarb. So it's just like, don't even attempt, like just drop the ball and let's keep moving. They're wandering around the brush, stumbling, getting picker bushes, cut up on the legs. I was like, what are you doing? Let's just keep moving. - Bag year for what takes two and seeing that. - Don't get those. That would take even three yesterday. - If you get hit with this new, - Yeah, I work about that. - Strain, that's the deer ticks of lime. It can cause you to not be able to read me. What was that? I didn't look into it, but I heard that's like a thing. - Yeah, Bill Gates made it or some shit like that. - Yeah. - It's what I heard about it. - Surprise me. It would doubt it. - But in general, it's the deer ticks that are-- - The problem. - The problem. The wood ticks are actually-- - That's just a bad tick season in general. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I've been getting, the wood ticks are crazy, but you don't really have to worry about them. Well, bastards, they're just annoying. It's growing. I had one on the back of my ear for long enough that when I finally got it, it was like white like a pumpkin. - No. - So you're like that sucker was on there for probably 24 hours. - Oh shit. - I remember pulling a fucking tick off one of my buddies when we were little kids. It was in his hair and it looked like a fucking blueberry. - Ooh. - It looked like a fucking berry, dude. It was so bad. - I used to pull those off my dog like all the time, but on a person, this is different. - Dude, the fucking blueberry. - You just know you were carrying that thing for like a day. - Yeah, yeah. - Like how did I not notice that it was-- - But I'm looking up right now, but it's called like the alpha gal tick or alpha gal syndrome. If this certain type of tick bites you, you're allergic to red meat. - How much would that suck? - You can't eat fucking steak. - That would be bad stuff. - You took steak and burgers from me and all I had to eat was chicken and fish. - I would suck. - I'd be fucked. - I'd be fucked. - I'd be cooked. - I think I have like high cholesterol, so it wouldn't be the end of the world. - You have high cholesterol, Mike? - Yeah. - Are you just finding this out? - All the hot stuff. (laughs) - Yeah, dude, I do eat a lot of like salty food. - You're kind of a fast food guy, though. - Yeah. - No one else craving a nice rib eye right now. - Yeah, and now we talk about this. - A meat. - Dude, honestly, if you're ever not feeling that good, this is like my thing I do. Go to the gym and then just go grill a steak. - I swear, you'll feel better afterwards. Just go lift some weights, eat a steak. Everything will be okay. - Dude, I just got into grill. - Really? - You've been grilled. - Did you get it? - Would you get it? - Pretty fired up. - Nothing like crazy. - Let me ever propane charcoal pellet. - Oh, propane? - Yeah. - I got like natural gas, like propane plumbed into my house. - And propane accessories. - Taste the meat, not the heat. - I approve. - Okay, nice, good. (laughs) - I love how light it is. - That's great. - Very just so much. I mean, just like cars or anything. Like, the grill I have, my grandparents had, and then it went to my sister, and then it went to me. And I'm talking this thing might be like 189 at Walmart. Like, it is so crappy, but it's so crazy. - I mean, years rusted or not. - How many years? - Yes. Oh, not, I mean, not like-- - Not the great soul that we put in the meat on. - That's good. - Well, like, the burners are like starting to disintegrate 'cause-- - Yeah. - And it's just like, it's literally like a tiny-ass, cheap-ass grill, but it just keeps working. Dude, I was running, like, a hammy-down grill from my parents' old grill for the longest time too. Like, and I realized the grates were like kind of rusted, and like, everything underneath was kind of fucked. And I was just like, what am I doing? Like, I just went and got a new grill. It was like 200 bucks. So, you know, like, just for something decent. - I was pretty sure it was, but the price of a new grill. It was, yeah, my one was like, 2, 13 or so. - People aren't grilling anymore, I guess, huh? - Dude, I don't know why I think they're all going to the fucking flight. - Fly-traggers, they're going to the fly-traggers. - They're going to the fly-traggers. black so black so black so black so black so black so black so black That's what it is for, but I was like, let's put some fucking Oreos in that thing. Oh, shit, Ryan, now we're talking his own snacks over. Oh, cool, if I fry these. Maybe an unpopular opinion, but with the black stones being so huge, I don't really like Smash Burgers. Oh, yeah. That's-- Why squeeze all the juice into-- I'm not a Smash Burger guy, either. I don't like how they're so thin, like there's just like, I just don't like them. Nine times out of ten, I have it. I'm like, man, we could've just made a nice half pound cheeseburger. And when it tasted fucking delicious, but now I have three dry no-- I mean, little-- Shiny, like, bungee. I don't-- They're not crunchy, but-- The double Smash Burger I have at Freddy's is arguably way juicier than most burgers. That's the way you cook it. You're supposed to sear it to the meat. Yeah, but then outside's-- Sear. Sear's burgers are-- I agree. That's what I get. Not being into them. I'll definitely eat them, but I'm going to take a thick, juicy burger. Sam, I'm here with you. You know, so my parents, they have a trigger grill, you know, with the pellets or whatever. And so it's a smoker, technically. Isn't that what it is? I think so. But it just takes-- Yeah. So like, since my house has been getting remodeled, I've been living there and I'll make my steaks on there because I don't have a normal grill. Takes so goddamn long to heat up, especially in the winter, because it's negative 30 up here, and everyone's going to say, "Get the blanket," because that's what they told me on my snap. Sorry. It has the blanket on it. It just is one of those things. It just takes a long time. But if you're a guy like my dad, who's got plenty of free time, he's loving this, is, you know, it's a thing, but for me, who just got home from work, it's eight o'clock. I don't want to wait 30 minutes for this thing to warm up. And then another 20 minutes to smoke the steak, you know, like a normal propane grill. You do what? Four and a half, five minutes on the other side, and you're, you're dialed. If you meet him rare, you're ready to ride, you season your steak, and then you come back out. Yeah, you just rip it. You're ready to go. Yep. And that's why I just like a whole traditional grill. This is funny. No, but Hank Hill, he would say the same thing. You don't need any of those fucking outlets, you don't get the propane. It's sometimes the vibe, like when we go out camping and slim fires up his smoke, and he's got a bunch of racks of ribs, and you sit around and drink beer for a couple of hours, and it's almost like an activity. Oh, yeah. You're smoking, you're, you're pretty much just chalking it up for the day. Yeah. That's like I'm smoking today. That actually reminds me, CJ was grilling this weekend. Dude, yeah, I was man in the grill. He was, which was great, because somebody needed to take control, and I'm glad that there's a guy who's willing to cook. But I noticed something that happened this weekend, CJ. You were flipping that knife around, and you cut yourself. Yeah, I did. That's not a good look for the knife guy. Wow, it's hammered. I look over, he just bleeding all over the foil. What happened? He goes snapped it. Yeah. Dude, out of practice. I'm actually officially ran out at knives because I'll be at a place, right? So I'm at, I mean, there is more, but they're not, they're kind of just, I know, I need to get some more. Bro, you were just asking for so many knives to come in after this, but CJ's not a knife. You said it. You ran out of knives. Where the fuck did you, you literally yelled at us for losing our knives. Yeah. Well, I didn't lose them. I didn't lose them. You said, if you lose your knife, you don't deserve one. I know, no, if you lose it, you don't, I give them away because I'll be, I'll be at a place, I'll be at a place, and people love to come up and go, CJ, can you snap it or ever like whatever. And then I'll like pull it out and I'll do it and they'll be surprised that I have it on me. I can give it a try and then like, they'll like maybe do it or like I'll kind of show them like, I just like flick like this. And then I'm like, you can just have it. And I always leave and they're always like, what? Like they can't believe I'm giving them this knife. Oh, she's a man of the people. And I realized this weekend when I was at Zorba's and this guy came up, I just, I don't have much memory of it, but I know I gave him my knife. And then I was like, I think that might have been my last like halfway decent one. So he's, that's an expensive gift and it's like a $60 thing, but yeah, it is. I'm doing it every time. I know. It's just what you do to give him in a good mood and whatever. You know, it usually they'll, they'll, they'll come up and they're like, hey, can I have your hat? Well, you know, you think in my hat exactly. So that's a good, how about this kid? How old are you? Eight. How about this knife? Did that remind me? I gave him. He comes home running with it's out. Look what CJ gave me. I'm going out of snap it. It's still got it's blood on it. I think that's a good, I think that sticks with people for a long time. That's what I kind of think too. Like a grandfather, CJ, passing out knives. I gave Sean, who was dropping Evan's dirt bike off. He brought his son Axel and he's like five six and I'm, I'm like, he just had a birthday. I went and grabbed him my youth size dirt bikes hat. I'm like, he's going to love this because he's literally obsessed with dirt bikes. He's playing with a little YZ and I'm like, look what I got you. He like looks at it and he's, he's kind of funny and he's like, thanks. and then I put it on. on him and he's like, "Sweet." And then I was like, "Do you know what it says?" He just like runs off and goes, "No." - Maybe the youth dirt bikes hat needs to just be a picture of a dirt bike. - Yeah, the dirt bike, yes. - Maybe that would make more sense. - 'Cause I like shoutin' 'til I'm like, "Look what it says." And then he ran away and I was like, "It says dirt bikes." He's like, "How old are you when you're supposed to like know how to read?" - Five. - Like when you're, I say that lightly because some people still don't know how to like my side. - I said, "Should say you learn how to read in kindergarten when you're five." - Interest. - You probably could read, I think you just didn't process. - You think you fully learn how to read when you're in kindergarten? - I'm not fucking chasefully sure. - No, I think it's like, you're in kindergarten. - You're like, "Don't go into elementary school." It's a different-- - Second grade, you're reading magic, right? - I guess I just should. - Yeah, I remember. - I was booked based. - Really? - Yeah. I was a bad reader. - I knew that. - Yeah, I was a bad reader. - Straight up. - Dude, you know what I mean? - I would get pulled out of class. - They'd make 'em work. - And they would have me like read with a special teacher like in a closet. - Damn. - I was like, "There's really no better place to do this." - Just in a little window in this room, so there was no distraction. - Next to the mop bucket. - Yeah, they could distract you from it. - It was the janitor. - Yeah, do you remember, you guys? - Rubbin' up on it. - Hey boy, I'll take you under my wing boy. And when he's all done, I'm walking out. - He just doesn't go and goes, "He's fucked." - Dude, you guys have accelerated reading or whatever, AR. - Oh yeah. - What is that? - Get the point. - You got an AR. - Yeah, so like GT was gifted. - The gifted readers had a special room. - I was in the fucking closet. - Yeah, the kids got the kids to the high school. - They had, I'm like, I thought they called it accelerated reading because we had an AR store, so you just read books, take the test, get points, and then you could go, there was a test on a computer. - You could get, and how the hell do you know about this, Ev? - Evan has a high psych, you. - I was, I was, you know, when she's supposed to do that. - I would read it. - I was in the gifted talented program. - When you say shredded shit, define that for me. - I was the high level of read, 'cause there's the different colored dots. - Yeah, and they worked the way I went black was the high one. And I was ripping black at a young age. 'Cause I wanted those points, like you get bigger points for harder books. - Yup, and then you get prizes. And there was a display case, like in the hallway, so anytime you walk down the hallway, you would see these, this shit, like, like, oh, fuck, I gotta read this book, and take the test. - The fourth Harry Potter, I can get feedbacks. - Those were big points, 'cause they were long. - You were a nerd, you were literally pissing off. - And I never read Harry Potter. - I never read Harry Potter. - Or if you read a really big book, and then you'd like get excited to take the test, and you like kind of bomb it, you don't like get that many points, and you're like, what a waste of time. - 'Cause the points were like, if you got 100% on the test, you'd get the points, it was worth, and then this shitier you did, the last points. And I remember a couple times, you know, maybe buddies, like, his points were up, and I'm needed some points. I'm like, fuck it, I'm just gonna take the test, and I'm only read half the book, and then just bomb it, and then it's all a waste, 'cause you could never redo it again. So I know that time I did spend on, yeah, it was just all. - For nothing. - For nothing. - The listener can tell how well of readers we are by when we read the ad. That's a good point. - When everyone's reading the ad, that right there shows how good of a reader. - He's surprisingly low on that total pull. - Well, the other thing is you can make cuts, and you normally clean it up, but no. - And for Freddy's Canadian, it's not his first language. - He was riding dirt bikes, he wasn't reading books. - Right, yeah, American wasn't his first language. - Reading. - And now I'm pretty slow at reading, like in comparison, or when Sydney's reading something, and I'm reading it too, she literally reads it twice as fast as I. - Yeah, I know. - And it stress me out, 'cause I'm like, I'm trying. Again, I know I do things so well. - When's the last time you read a book, like more than just get a little information for something like-- - Last week. I read a full book, I read a couple full books. I don't even remember what they were. - Evan, a manual doesn't count. - No, I know, I was just right, he said. But no, I mean-- - That's why you love reading those things so much, huh? - Why? - Just 'cause I like reading? - Yeah. - Got a little-- - I don't know. - I don't know if he's mixed in there too. - Yeah. - Everybody? - A Chinese owner's manual's a little bit of a good-- - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - A bunch of short stories, comedic relief. I don't mind that. - Last book I read was, I was a senior in high school. Probably. I still remember what it was, it was the Nike book. - I watched the movie instead, it was entertaining. - Yeah, I was screwed in high school 'cause I found out about Spark Notes. So you never-- - Bro! - Had to read a book. - I just got an email that the reason I passed college, I use this thing called Cheg, 'cause I've heard a cheg. I paid for the premium cheg. I knew my fucking whole career, well, not my career, my passing of college rode on it. And apparently now, kids aren't using cheg because of AI, AI stole Cheg's job. - You see, yeah. - So yeah, I was like, damn, that's the first real-- - And what did that email look like that you got? - I thought they were gonna tell you like you've been paying for it. - That's what I thought. - Yeah, that's what I thought. - And are you still paying for it, Ryan? - No, I'm not actually, which is surprising to you. - I do love a good subscription. - Love a good subscription. - He doesn't use. - But no, they just emailed me and they were like, due to the onset of AI, like we're shifting focus, we're gonna be like a research, like they're just using chat DPDs integrated in their website. They're not storing all the data that you see. It's like people used to upload their fucking tasks. - Oh yeah. - Yeah. - Said you'd be like, all right, four is A. And it was easy. - Yeah, like all the test answers. - Yeah, it was lit. - Yeah. - Like every study guide. - What are we doing? - Dude, how are we doing here? - How do you teachers even give students test or homework and then assume that they're not gonna just go home and just take a picture of it, upload it to chat and just say, fill this out. - Well, it's kind of lazy on the two of us. 'Cause if they're all just running the same exact test, like they're kind of doing the same shit. - They're themselves, you know. - Dude, I think kids are just strictly getting by using chat or just any kind of data. - I would be. - Definitely. But I mean, like with math, like when you show your work and stuff, even if you're copying it down, I feel like you're absorbing some of. - Dude, I don't think so. I don't think they're absorbing shit. And the honest truth of it is I don't know if they need to. Like I don't know if you need to absorb half the shit that you learn in school, in high school. - I guess what they have. - You know, if you're learning, if these kids are learning how to use AI and get through life, like that's realistically probably how it's gonna be. Like you don't need to know the any of these algorithm things that you're learning in high school. - Can you just always say, well what, you think you're just gonna have a calculator in your pocket? - I can. - Yeah. - Yeah. - No, no, no. - No, no, no. - Way better. - I think there is value in people actually learning shit and having to like remember it and not just be so reliant on our technology. - Dude, cool. - There's value in it, but I'm being a realist here and looking at it of how it's going. - But it's learning how to solve a problem. That's more so what it is. So it's like you get out these math problems, you got to kind of figure out the game on how to solve them, you know. - These kids are just like, - Or whatever it is. - Whatever it is, solve it. - Okay, so use, use-- - Oh yeah, so learn how to solve it one way or another, but you still, that's how it is in life, you know? - The devil's advocate to that. It's like maybe a math problem. You could just plug it in, get the answer, and have it show your work. And maybe you don't learn anything. But when you need to learn something, you use chat a lot, right? Like when I have like a tax question or something like an insurance question, I put it in a chat, and then I learn from it. - But it's not always right. Like it hallucinates stuff sometimes. It just comes up with-- - Even before chat, GBT though, you'd have to do your own research in some way, shape, or form. - So it's like if you have a question, you need an answer to. You read it, you might not retain 80% of it, but you do remember those key points that you were originally looking for. - Yeah, and kind of, I mean, saying that it's like not correct for the most part, it probably is-- - For the most part, but like for a lot of high-minus stuff. - That's kind of how anything is. - Like if you're asking like a hybrid, like you want to do your taxes right. - You shouldn't ask chat to do your taxes. - Well, some people out there aren't. - Oh yeah, I guess. - That's crazy. - Yeah, so I don't know. I mean, I think kids nowadays, they're obviously just relying on it more and more. - But I think it's cool. I use chat to ask the questions that teachers never taught me. - You know, or like you don't learn half that shit, ever. - Yeah, I guess you're right. But yeah, it's like, why is it beneficial for me to set my business up as an S-Corp? If you ask like any high school teacher that, they'd be like, what? I mean, you could maybe ask. - I don't know, I wanna count the professional. - Yeah, you'd have to find a professional. - Isn't it weird? I said this to the guys I was golfing with last weekend. How like quickly chat GBT just became a part of everyone's lives? And like before that, you had Google, but like, it is so much better in Google. I mean, it's just might be one of the biggest advances we've dealt with in the last 10 years for sure. Like I remember when Facebook and like Instagram and like, you know, there's just, it's pretty, how seamless and it almost seems like it's been here this whole time, but it's really only been around for maybe like a year. Obviously, a little bit longer, but. - I think it was the end of 22. - Widely adapted. - Yeah, remember when we were sitting on this podcast and I was like, if you guys heard of chat GBT and then we popped it up and we were like, write me a story about me and my friends doing something or like. - Yeah, I didn't really see what the benefit of it at that time when you're having to answer those questions, but yeah, it's crazy, dude. - In real life and man, we're moving closer and closer to eyebrow bot. - Did you guys ever see the YouTube video Mr. Beast did where it was like last to leave this podcast? airplane just to keep it and it was like a private jet and they had to like keep their hands on it. I think it was like a year ago maybe I think it was like a hundred pilots started by keeping their hand on the airplane in the plane or on the outside. Oh wow. And it's like a four million dollar jet maybe a two million dollar jet. I don't know nice jet either way. And it ended up going to this you know guy that kept his hand on the longest and I just saw that this pilot that got the jet from Mr. Beast by winning this challenge was arrested in Paraguay or something like some foreign country for moving drugs or moving like hundreds of pounds a week. Oh yeah. That's insane. So he was like already won. Now I'm going to try and take another short cut. He's like I'm going to take this plane the Mr. Beast gave me and flies all that. Yeah. What can how can I make money with this plane and then he's like going down the list and he's like this one pays the most. Yeah. Yeah. 3.6 million dollars were the week. So how much was he in? I think a lot. He's probably looking at like it. Can I see a picture of this guy? I think that's him right there. Five hundred and how old is he? Five hundred and 77 pounds. Did it say he was Jama- Oh Jamaican from us. He goes like Captain Trezey. Wow. 261 kilograms. So why are they why are they like still. That's wild. Here's a question for some of the people on our podcast with marijuana now legal in these states. No, but I don't think what it just said there they weren't bringing it to the states. They're probably maybe flying it around because some of those countries are super illegal down there still. Oh Cassie. I think I don't know. We'd have to bow to my guess. Well, like there still seems to be like a legal growing or whatever marijuana like isn't there still drug dealers selling marijuana even though you can peck me just go get it out of it. Yeah, because it's way cheaper to get it on the street. Oh, yeah. And also I mean, I avoid the tax man. I'm now even starting to hear the classic you know how it's just like well, all these vegetables have this sprayed on it. Yeah, they're saying that about from home marijuana. They're saying it about weed too. I actually believe that and dude, when I was in Sturgis, we were hanging with a bunch of those like riders and one of the guys said his family. I don't know how much I could say, but you know, they they do it legally though. And he was saying that the issue is that the issue is that they spray all that shit on there. Oh, yeah, yeah, like the pest decides. One more. Yeah, but it's like very hard to keep up with once the government starts regulating it, they poison it. Yeah, classic. I just saw a thing like past at the FDA past like a new chemical that can spray on like strawberries and tomatoes to make let make them last even longer. I was like, I thought we were going the other way. Yeah, that's crazy. It is crazy to like make it last like a week longer. So I'm sure there's some in other places in Minnesota, but this is the first one I've seen that casino by my house has a marijuana lounge like a bar. Yeah, I've been in there because it's on the res. Yeah, and it's just like a smoking bar. I imagine they serve you. I I don't know, enough to invest again. I just saw the big billboard for it. Oh, I better not. I got it. Well, it's like every bar you go into, you can get like the THC drinks now. Yeah, it's real crazy. Man, that's another. That's another thing. You know, I said, like it's just like Chad GBT integrated. So seamless. Like it's like we've always had it. Same with this stuff. Like I remember in high school, if like me and my friends got caught smoking weed, our parents thought we were like legitimately, like they're fucked. They're whole like, like, are they going to start doing meth next? Like that kind of shit, you know, but now it's like, you go to the grocery store, you can get some fucking THC drinks. Isn't that weird? It is. It's likely it turned around. Oh, no, it's legal now in like public public settings. Yeah. I was I was weird. Like when you're at a bar and they have all like the brands of THC sellers on the umbrellas. I don't know. I was in like one of the nice restaurants around here and they've got like those umbrellas and I'm like, can we just get like a your bar branded umbrella? Like instead of THC. They're probably sure they just gave them to him. Yeah, I know. There's a lot of 30 in it, too. Yeah, I know. And then it's like, oh, we have them. Oh, right. They're just stepping on your toes of promoting shit, huh? Doing sponsors? Yeah, hire me. I can come in and do a sponsor for your bar. Yeah, exactly. I just posted up. He reads a live ad read while everyone's eating dinner over a mic. Welcome to bar number or bar A. You're going to love the way that they have homegrown steaks speaking of doing stuff while people are eating. When we pulled up to Zorva's at the end of the cheap car challenge and you guys were so gung-ho about dude, let's let's just motor's cooked on the Z. Let's blow it up in the parking lot. I didn't really want to. I did do it. And since I was there, you talked about it for an hour. You wanted to. You know, it was like, it's like Evan on a golf course. You know, he's sometimes he just doesn't like. There's certain things some people are okay with. And I was like, when you guys were revving, it was too much. You were reb bombing it out. Yes, I want to say I couldn't. Yeah, I wanted to blow it up, but I said to people are eating. And then everyone was like, there's not that many people in there. I was like, all right, and they didn't they the couple out there didn't care, but I was like, imagine being at a picnic table. I just fucking someone's piece of shit. Someone's reb bombing their VQ 350. Literally 25 feet away, but I think it's a bit out. I think it cleaned it out. We thought the thing was going to blow up and we're going to have to push it home. Now it's right. And I think after that Italian tune up is just running like a topic. Power of the Italian tune. That's a pretty good example of maybe we were just getting a little too comfortable. Little too excited. It was a weekday. It's better than if we did that on a Saturday. Yeah, no, we actually wouldn't have done that. Shout out, Zorba. Shout out, Zorba's palaking lake. If you're ever in the area, go there. They got the best pizza, the best drinks, best burritos, and a great atmosphere. And then you might even run into us. Yeah, I would say we're like you. But we'll likely run into us. So I apologize for rev bombing that car in your parking lot, but it's a great spot. So hopefully we can at least add some sales. Dude, I think it's pretty crazy. Actually, like, yeah, we're not sponsored by yeah, Zorba's at all. Yeah, we just we just genuinely love going there. It's home away from home. It's yeah, it's money there. It's pretty funny, but it's pretty bizarre like the correlation that people now have, even though it's not a sponsorship at all, because you go on like any of the Zorba's TikToks, like they have like a couple locations and they have like separate TikToks, you go on any of them, not not our hometown one, not the town over, not the town over that, like far away. And all the comments are just like, where are the sea boys? Yeah, it's funny. Is Evan there? Or like Zorba's at sea boys, but yeah, it's pretty funny. They were actually talking about like giving us some vehicle pizza. No, yeah, shit. Yeah, I was supposed to pick that up. Well, actually, I got called because somebody else dropped the ball. We'll just find me. I dropped the ball. I was 100. So good. We have a deadline, and that deadline's not for two weeks. Oh, shit. Do I get to know it? Yeah, we'll find out. Oh, my gosh, I just completely, you don't want me to show you. I just said I'll reach out on Tuesday, and that was last week. Oh, shit. I need help knowing what we're going to do with it. I have no fucking idea, but they said it's either going to us or the scrap yard. And I said, well, yeah, it's cool. It's cool. Let's just go get it. We'll go get it. One of these days. We're just going to grab it one. It's sitting out in front of one of the local Zorba. It's just gone one day. They're like, what the fuck? It's not our Zorba's. No, no, DL. Yeah, oops. Yeah, that'll be good. That'll be good. All right. So I'm like, I don't know what's sick. I don't know what the fuck we're going to do with it, but it's sick. It's all your truck. That's a, they're going to give it to us. It's amazing. They're giving it to us. I'm assuming it doesn't run. It doesn't, but I thought it was like a prop and it's been, because it's been sitting there forever. Apparently it ran in 2022. I'm like, well, that's great. I mean, it has a motor and it ran for you. We had a team that could easily put any motor we wanted into that. Hellcat. Hellcat. Yeah. Or at least a 350 shot. But it had it's cool. A little, yeah, it used to be a fire truck, but now it's like a surf beach truck. It's crazy getting rid of that. Ken, would you like that parked out front of your house? No. I was just trying to get a get a vibe for things. I call that idea, guys. What about in the backside of your house by your beach? You do love zorba's Ken. I do, because it's on my way home and it's very convenient. So you just eat there every day? I actually don't. Cooked more in the last month than I have a really bad hand cut. What do you cook? Stakes. Mostly steak. Should we play it up? Steak talk yet? You ever have a side with it? It's because I just had a new girl. Little salad. Steak a salad. No potato. Too much starch. I think I almost died on Sunday. I was driving home from the bachelor party urgently. Let's just say I was speeding pretty hard in the vet. And it was raining. And like I have all season tires, which I obviously thought would too find on snow and they didn't. But like I wasn't that worried. I thought I was cool to just drive pretty decently quick. Like it was going to be okay. But I think the tires are so wide that the cars much more prone to hydro planning than I thought. Yeah. And when you say the word hydro planning Everybody kind of thinks it's like when the car gets light and you kind of feel like you're out of control But I was coming up on an intersection. They had fixed it was at the county line and they had fixed the new road and the old road Was fairly shitty and then when they turned all the equipment around they must have just fucked up the old road And so there was like a puddle basically and I hit this puddle No exaggeration was looking out the right side window in my car Before I even fucking knew what happened at 80 miles an hour like I'm driving and it went And I went like this and I went like this and I went like this And thankfully the new road was like perfectly smooth So it was slippery. It was like our drift track and I just went like that. I first went this way I went back this way I went back this way and then it snapped in line. Holy crap Ryan 85 miles an hour and that's what I text over I go holy shit boys. I almost just piled up. Oh, I didn't see that. I so I saw it. Yeah. I don't even know. It was the most extreme like it was like when you watch those videos All the cars on the skid pad when they just like get kicked out. Yeah, bro. It was crazy I could think that there was no oncoming traffic. Yeah, but I mean there was deep ditches old field You know deep ditches all that. Oh crap, Ryan. It was really really bad. It scared the shit out of me. No shit That's that is scary. I guess hydro playing like is a thing I thought if you had good tires like I thought hydro playing was for people with bad tires What apparently not I'd say what you said early the width. Yeah, I just run in 345s on the back He's in good. You slower down. Yeah, I did slow down after that But I'd been like passing people and I was like, oh, that would have just been great. They'd have been like this fucking asshole As I'm all I'm as a upside down in the ditch. I had to call see Jacob's driving He was like an hour behind or ahead of me and I had to call see just like did you got to come back and get me I would have spun around I told I told the rig. So yeah, it was it was really really scary Glad careful out there. Yeah, glad that it didn't end bad Me too. I like got home and I was like mmm. Yeah, there's it is crazy like cars You know like physics the ability for them to end up back straight that snapback really you know Yeah, your sideways and you're this way you're that way and then you ended up straight again Like I remember one time Cody and I were like headed to the ski hill and it was super icy And I remember being like maybe we shouldn't go today and we're like 16 and we're just driving Indochroid lakes and just went around a curve and fully 60 and then ended up straight again in the oncoming lane, which is scary But I was like how do we not just spin anywhere but back straight? Yeah, perfectly the same momentum. Yeah, walk Yeah, no, it was I I'm gonna attribute it 3% to me been ripping on the Corvette lately and drifting it around and kind of knowing how to correct things and then 97% to Pure luck and it not being my day to have a big problem. Did you ever get back in the gas? There's no way you hit the brakes. I believe you with the brakes. No, I basically didn't really do anything with either of the pedals I kind of just like was Just sliding just whipping the wheel. Yeah, kind of like just going there. Yeah on limiter No, and just kind of correcting it back and forth and then I'm straightened out and I got back on the gas But that's knowing not to panic like literally in that situation you hit the brakes There's got to be like a 99% chance I would have piled up and then usually a lot of people they lose control It's the first panic. They do is just bury the gas bury the gas or brake. I mean, yeah, I mean hit the brake But yes hit the gas For most people, but yeah get back. Yeah, I mean you black out you slam on the brakes been there, but Yeah, dude, I mean are we gonna talk about what happened filming last week? Yeah, that Yeah, I hit up this guy his name is dumb Speedfreaks on Instagram and I'd seen this thing for a while. It's like a 600 horsepower short block engine big Box a big block Chevy that essentially has wheels wheels on it it's an engine that has wheels on it No transmission not much more than that.

Yes, Ken nearly had a serious accident while driving home at 80 miles per hour in the rain. He hydroplaned on a puddle due to poor road conditions and his wide tires, causing the car to lose control and drift wildly.

The group disagrees on how short shorts should be. Some, like CJ, consider five-inch inseams too short and say they’ve gone too far, while others argue that it's a matter of personal style. Jack's shorts are specifically criticized as being too short, even though he doesn't think so.
