Seeing $200k+ Hoonicorn Rebuild For The First Time, Sora AI Videos, Keys to YouTube Success

The podcast reflects on the creators' early, chaotic YouTube journey—marked by dumb, unpolished content and a "dysfunctional" lifestyle that felt authentic and fun. They now contrast that with the rise of AI tools like Sora, which allows users to generate humorous, often surreal videos using simple prompts. These videos frequently feature their likenesses and absurd scenarios, like hot dogs everywhere or surreal mashups, with some standing out due to creativity. The team notes that many viewers, including older generations, are fooled by the realism of these AI videos, showing a growing gap in how people perceive technology. While the videos are sometimes glitchy or nonsensical, their ease of creation makes them accessible and entertaining. The discussion also delves into deeper societal concerns, such as the potential for AI and video games to replace real human interaction—like using animated characters instead of real relationships. Despite these technological shifts, the creators emphasize that authenticity, effort, and personal connection remain vital in building meaningful content. Their nostalgic view of early days—full of wild parties, risky stunts, and imperfect videos—underscores a philosophy that embracing mistakes and spontaneity is what made their journey valuable, even if it seems outdated today.

- Oh, only this young ones might as well just keep doing dumb things. - And man, well, I had to live her. - It's weird because people used to not like you, but you haven't really changed. I think they just figured out your humor. We were operating at such a dysfunctional way, where we were living like rock stars. - So lucky, honestly, that could have ended us. - So Ken, are you watching your AI videos of yourself right now? - I actually am. - Dude, the Sora videos are out of hand. They're completely out of hand. - Yeah, no, they are very random, especially the ones that don't come from you. Like the ones that you don't make. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we've made any. - I've made a couple. - I can't figure it out. - Dude, there's thousands of me. There's thousands. Like if I scroll through, that just keeps going, I don't even have enough time to watch them all. But there's some, the cream always rises to the top. - Yeah, there's some good ones. - I just saw a really good one yesterday. Have you run it up to a ring doorbell, and a Cheeto onesie? And you just see all Seamist Davis. - Yeah, a lot of them. - And had a shit ton of likes on it. People really liked that one. - There's a bunch of hot dogs everywhere. - Hey Mike, every single Sora video with Mike is something I do with him and a hot dog. - Yeah, I was gonna say Mike is gotta be over this, this whole AI thing, 'cause everything is just him sucking down a glizzy. - You can take yourself off, right? - You can, yeah, okay. - But what's the fun in that? - Yeah, all the hot dog ones are just unfunny to me. - I like that people are making the videos. Like I think it's fun and it's cool, and it's flattering that you'd want to take the time to make something funny or mess around with it. Like there's literally nothing you can do on Sora that is going to make me mad or embarrassed, 'cause it's just, it's so obviously fake to me. - Yeah. - And even if you, yeah, that's just the thing. But it is funny 'cause I was out to dinner last night with my fiance's dad and I was at a local spot shoutout sauce, and Gal that was there was like, "Oh yeah, like this video is so funny." And all of you, like the AI video, and then my buddy Jim, who owns sauce, looks over, goes, "Huh, man, you were a lot younger back then." - Thought it was real. (laughing) He thought it was real. - So he thought they were real and we were shocked. - No, that's AI, what do you mean that's AI? You know, like the older generation, they were already comprehend. - Yeah, and then I was showing my fiance's dad and he was like, like would not believe it. - He was, wasn't clocking. - Yeah, he was like, "That could be bad." (laughing) - Yeah, so for the listeners, right now that don't know what we're talking about, there's this new app, it's called Sora, where it can basically, you type in a prompt, and then whatever the prompt is, it'll generate a video off of that prompt, and then if you type in, say at Michael Sandman, putting makeup on @CJLotser using a Chido as the makeup thing, it'll pull Mike's cameo and CJ's cameo 'cause they gave their likeness, it's called, like permission to use their face. It needs some tweaking. Like if you say, like me and Ken are on a tandem bicycle and we pull up to CJ, it'll sometimes, like, morph all three of us into like one face. - Yeah, I've noticed that. - Yeah, to me, so it does need some work. I've seen a beard. - Yeah, I haven't seen like all of a sudden. And then all of a sudden, like, if it's a Ryan, me and CJ, CJ's got my beard, I have Ryan's voice. - Oh yeah. - It is strange, but you have to be very specific with your directions to it to make it extra good. Like I think like the really, really good ones, those people like take a lot of time refining 'cause you can keep editing and refining. - You can see the really good ones, the prompt is like, you gotta scroll through it. - Yeah, it's 'cause you take what you want it to do and then you type that into chat GPT and then chat GPT tells you how to make it happen. - Oh, really? - Then you punch it in there. - 'Cause these little weebs, so no one's even thinking at all. - We're double AI. - But also, I do love when it just is super vague. It'll just be like, Ken swimming in the seaboy's pool. - Yeah. - So it's like that doesn't even exist. And then all of a sudden, he's just saying stuff that it didn't tell. - Yeah, I love that. - It's weird dude, like it's getting the background of our shops, pretty dope. - Yeah, yeah. I wonder if it's pulling that from online or what? 'Cause it might be. - It might be. - It's even doing flames on a blue. It's not a mini truck, but it's very close. - I think for years, maybe when you took your, because I noticed I did mine in the hotel in Vegas and the background of the hotel bathroom shows up in some of 'em. - Oh no shit. - So they just take your, yeah. - This was my favorite one and it was the very first one created, so CJ gave his likeness and then there was a shit on it. CJ's got like a thousand of 'em out there. And then one by one, everyone kinda just added onto it. So now there's a bunch of videos that have all of us, but it started out just kinda like one and then CJ and Ryan, but this is the very first one that was created after I had set up the account. And it's still the best dude. Classic, right? (laughing) - What happened? - I told you to keep the certified heavies off the track. (laughing) - I was like, where's this coming from? - Holy sly, I'm into it. - And then this is a good one, dude. This is a good one, dude. This is actually looks like me. - Gav, are you taking down another heavy in there? - Okay, and then my favorite part about the app is now scroll to the right on that. Someone made that one, add a bunch of three wheelers outside and then someone else added something else. - My favorite part, like TikTok you scroll vertically, but on this, when you're hitting a trendy light. (laughing) - Oh my gosh, oh the limit is on the fly. - So like if you hit a trendy light, you can swipe to the side. - Gav actually just gave his likeness and he signed up for the app. I was texting him like, dude, you gotta get it. You know on this, I don't know how long this is gonna last. Maybe it's just a fatter away right now. - You can see it being kind of a fat. - I think people are gonna get sick of it, 'cause it's not, it will get better, but I could still see it being a fat. - You know what I liked about it? Is it's like the effort to make a TikTok. Somebody just talked about that, like the effort to make a movie, a TV show, a YouTube video, a TikTok. Like a TikTok's already super low, but this one, you legitimately to make a TikTok. - Ten times easier. - You don't even have to get out of bed. You just type it in. - Like I had that one silly pizza one, where CJ was like eating pizza. I'm like, I love pepperoni and then I remade it as a joke. As fast as I humanly could, one take everything and it still took me 10 minutes to recreate it. - Exactly. - First is 10 seconds to type it. - Now you don't now have to leave your bed to make a piece of content. - What AI engine does Sora use? - Trap GPT. - Okay, they use, so coming into this, I just wanna preface this. When you were talking about the Jake Paul videos, I thought that Sora was like a good AI and people happen to be using it to make like TikTok-esque videos. Now I'm understanding what their whole goal with it is and Jake Paul investing in like, it's like made to be TikTok. It's made to be like CapCut and TikTok together 'cause like you can go into CapCut, you know? - Is it meant to be like a social media? - Yeah, that's what it is. - It is. - Yeah, and I didn't realize that. - Not just an AI video generator. It's truly like a short form platform, like Vine and TikTok. - I guess I noticed it, but I was still like, ah, this is the last thing I wanna do is like having another social media that's not even, well, all of these are fake. - That's what I'm saying. It's like the lowest tier of all of it. - Well, Ben just got on, like when people, they're obviously already making them for you right now, you refresh it and you got 20 more. You can scroll like you're watching TikTok of just cameos of you. - Yeah, yeah. - It's kind of annoying. - It just gets to be too long for me. But I do appreciate it and I watch 'em, but. - I love when people play out a situation that like, remember when we were talking about the 5,000 pennies thing? Then I go on Sora and I see a video of me getting 5,000,000 pennies, turning it into a giant penny. - Yeah, you could literally be taking our podcast stories, putting them into Sora and then making a visual. - Yeah, it's great. - Well, I think there already is a lot of those too, 'cause when I was, when I was scrolling, I was like, how do people know these jokes? Or like, a lot of them were like inside jokes. Like, that's not one mic that said, fuck your chicken nuggets. - Fuck your chicken strips? - Your chicken strips. I was like, when have we said that online before? It must have said at some point, 'cause there's, you know, just pull dialogue from something. - I don't know. - Like, inside jokes, and yeah, I guess that's just, what happens when you share your entire life online. - Have you guys gone into the draft cameos that you can see that people haven't published? - Yeah. - Some of those are so bad. - You can like, scroll your drafts of videos that people made of you without actually post down. - What? - It's crazy. - There's so many. - AI is only going to get better. Like, the fact that this is the beginning is, I mean, it isn't start saying where it is going to be, like, it's impressive right now, but yeah, it's not perfect, like, it will be good. Like, it's going to be even better in five years. It's going to be light years better. - 100%. - We're just looking at how much AI is advanced, like, from a consumer standpoint in the last two years. - I mean, listen to Elon, like, he's been saying it for years. He's like, with AI, we are going to be progressing so much faster. Like, it's just going to be compounding. - Do you think we're cooked as YouTubers? - No. I think there's still a desire for original content. - And as we mentioned, YouTube made this whole thing, like, they're not pushing content that's AI. - Yeah. - AI, audio, AI, video. - I'm actually wondering about that. Like, can we even show the videos that we just showed or is YouTube going to flag it as like AI? - I think I can show those. I think it's original. Like, it's like, if your whole content spills, it's just that, like, you're not even a real person because there is channels that, like, the character [BLANK_AUDIO] face that people think is real. This has been going on for years. They think it's a real person, but it's just an AI, and it's just like a script, and they talk, and they can be running like 10 channels at once, and none of them are probably even close to our size, but you get 10, 15, 20. You're not even doing anything. - Some guys are doing that with creating chicks, like good-looking girls, and then creating like, "Oh, aff accounts with these girls," and then making a ton of money off of these fake girls. - Dude, it isn't the same. - Like that seems insane, dude. - That's a whole 'nother topic, so this is kind of an interesting take that I was just thinking of last night. So backstory to this. Fortnite just integrated this new Simpsons map, right? So it's like Simpsons rope, and I grew up watching the Simpsons. I still like them. I don't necessarily watch them now, but I've never really played Fortnite. I've never really liked it. I didn't like the building thing, but I was just like bored this weekend, and it was Sunday, I was like, whatever. I'm gonna download and try it, start playing it. Start getting better. I'm not good by any means. I'm way better called, dude. - You still get, I get smoked. - Yeah, you get smoked by any girls. - But it is so fun playing on the Simpsons map. You go into the house, it is fun. Evan's not, I love it. - You've been playing. - It was sick, yeah. - I've went probably, it was like last winter, I went through a quick little Fortnite phase, and then didn't touch it for eight months, but I've been playing again last couple of weeks. - The Simpsons map is sick. - What's that Simpsons game? - That's like Simpsons hit and run. - That was a favorite game on the GameCube, dude. - That was a fun game. - It was like GTA, but it was rated T, so you kinda get not even close to GTA, but you could free roam and kick people, basically steal cars, whatever. So anyways, my point though. - We see Fortnite characters, dude. - It is so interesting, 'cause everyone's got their character in this world, and there's some pretty promiscuous looking women on there, so I get the base character. Sometimes I'm a man, sometimes I'm a girl. I don't have anything special going on here, but when I got the girl, I'm sitting there and third person running behind it, I'm like, pfff. (laughing) - This girl? - She's kinda got a dump on her. No, no, it's interesting. There's family guy characters, Bob's burgers, Simpsons. You can have so many different characters, but there's some, I mean, there's characters that are basically like an anime hot chick. - Pretty meme skin. - And I'm sitting there, I'm like, dude, these little boys are probably fired up. - Fire it up. - If you're fired up. - Animated, I mean, I by no means was fired up, but I thought to myself, I thought to myself, they knew what they were doing when they shaped this girl's behind. - You've heard Boston, whatever. - They got Fortnite characters. - I love when he's possible. - Yeah, and for 499, you can get an even bigger one. - That's the thing, yeah. - Oh shit. - You can upgrade to a BBL, you can give the, you can give her, I don't know about that. - I don't think so. - They sell like different characters. - Well, there's different characters, like, yeah, you can get, it's insane. So anyways, it's a whole new thing where we could be cooked as a society, like they talk about watching the P word online and how less and less guys are having actual sex now because it's just way easier to just go jerk one out to that. And like, you get to dope me. But now, my fuck, are you gonna be, are you playing Fortnite again? - You're not gonna turn it off. - No. - You're not even gonna be doing it for a real human. - So you're point, they're gonna be doing it to fucking animated people now. And that's when you're really cooked. - That is when you're cooked. - Like, you need to just get out, go talk to a girl versus doing that shit. And our friend Jake, last time he was on, Jake Sherbrook, he talked about how he's been rebelling against watching those videos online. - Absolutely, yeah. - Honestly, at the time I thought, yeah, you know that's good. But the more I was thinking about it, like it's definitely a good road to go down, especially for like a young man. Like I think it's a slippery slope that society's going down with these AI and then the fucking video game characters getting ready for the robot CD. - Brother, well, they already know what they're doing. - You got robot girlfriends and stuff. - Yeah, what happens? - Everything is only going to get in that direction better. - Bro, what happens when Tesla comes out with like a thick Latina robot? - Dude, I'm not gonna lie if a Latina. - If your Tesla sucked you off while driving, you'd have to buy it. Dude, I think Elon knows better. I think Elon knows better. He knows it's decided to be cooked. - Yeah, good. - So they can't be bad. - I mean. - Ken, what are you getting, Ken? - Ken's waiting on this, dude. That's what he's waiting on. He's fucking robots, dude. - We're not buying any of that shit. Oh, let the car drive, but I'm not buying any of these little household stuff. - He's going, he's staying old fashioned inflatable. (laughing) Tina, yeah, that video is down. We had a like a fourth or fifth YouTube video. We just like a blow up doll like that. And we were joking around with it. And we had it on there, but you're so stupid. But I took that video down. - Had to. - It wasn't that weird until you got in the hot tub with it naked. That was the best part of my opinion, though. (laughing) - That's true, I did get in the hot tub with it. - Listen, man, what are we at? For getting like 700 videos or something like that? - 515. - 515. You're gonna have a couple questionable acts in it, you know? Oh, a ton, dude, so on the last video, we just hit five million subscribers, shout out to everyone that subscribed to the main channel. Thank you guys. On the last video that we just posted, we had a shop tour or a whole compound tour. And during the compound tour, we kept referencing old videos or just moments that made certain spots on the compound special. And so I was just watching through all these old videos, just like screen recording them to overlay during the video. And I was like, holy shit. This is why we didn't hit a million subscribers for the first five years of making YouTube videos. We were so stupid. But also, it was pretty funny. I was laughing the whole time. Ken, you've always been funny, dude. You've always been funny. But your humor has changed. It's weird because people used to not like you, but you haven't really changed. I feel like I have changed in the last 10 years. No, you've definitely changed. But like the shit you were saying in old videos, I was like, this is so funny. Ken has always been funny. And why did people not watch it? Why was he not the fan favorite from day one? I was watching these videos. I was like, Ken's comedic timing is unmatched. So good. I hate all those old videos. I do too. But you're so bad. You're hilarious. I thought. But we say it took so long to hit a million subscribers because of doing dumb shit like that. But if we had never done all the dumb things, we would have never hit it either, you know? So it's all something's better than nothing. Yeah, no, I think it all obviously happened for a reason. Yeah. Like everything happened for a reason. The timing all worked out. 100%. I remember Casey Neistat talking on it. Like hitting 1 million is way harder than hitting two. And then hitting two is harder than three. Like it's like a snowball. And I mean, it's so true. Because you've also got to think like, yeah, our vids back then, like some of them, there's definitely some cringey moments and just like some lame shit. But also, we just weren't working with the tools that we have now because you got to build up to this. Yeah, you know? And also, we didn't have the camera skills. We didn't have the editing skills. Like we were still working and building. I can't be embarrassed by Sora videos because I got fucking 200 videos. I'm actually doing some dumb shit. So like now you're right. We have built. I mean, it's not like we're not going to innovate in whatever. But the only thing that's not going to get us to 10 million is stopping the only thing. Yeah, we just keep at it. But yeah, I guess when we say dumb shit too, people might think that we mean like stupid or dangerous things. That's not what we mean by that. Because we still do that shit. Yeah, I mean, what we mean is just like, we were operating at such a dysfunctional way. A loose program. It was just stupid shit where we were like, I look back and we were like, why did we do that? Or the way the, like the, or the structure of the video or like an idea was executed. It was like that was just executed so poorly. Yeah, and then if you execute the idea poorly, you can't even edit it to make it good. Like there's such a list of things. It's like you got to have a good idea. Then you got to execute it properly. Then you have to make sure the filming was done properly. And then it has to be edited properly and then packaged properly and put out on the internet. Like there's so many steps to it. And if one of those steps fails, like for instance, let's just say you did the most amazing thing, but the filming was off. Boom. That's it. And let's just say then you go a step further. Instead the filming was perfect, but it was edited poorly. Might as well just throw it all away. Like you need all of them to hit. And it is kind of like a domino effect too. Like if one of the earlier ones doesn't work, you can't really fix it afterwards. I'm just so glad that we were able to figure it out and build upon the foundation of it. 'Cause man, he was not. He was not. He was not. Yeah. It was not fun to watch back and just know like, oh, we were just missing so many things, but we were doing it. We were doing it. Which I think is 90% of the battle. It was fun though, dude. I kind of missed those times. I don't want to go back, but it was just fun. I don't even think you could if you tried. Well, I definitely couldn't, but it was just, there's something about it. Like I was just a different person in terms of like, you're just a different animal when you're in it. I do, honestly. And I'm sure we'll look back later on ourselves now and be like, man, we were just different, but like we were really just. So I try to enjoy every, like every time, like so many times I go, oh, only this young once, my as well, just keep doing dumb things, you know? And honestly, the number one thing. - Man, well, I delivered. (laughing) - The number one thing I remember about all that stuff, just chalk it up as, man, that was fun. - Yeah. - Like the number one thing I remember about, what was it like, it was so fun. - Living in the loft at the old shop. - Yeah. - Everything about it. I never once was like, I wish my situation was better. I think the only thing we cared about was making good content. - Yeah. - Building a business. - Building more views, yeah. - But it wasn't like cringy either, where we were like closing our families off, 'cause we're like, yeah, once they started the YouTube, we didn't hear much from 'em like, we were still normal. But like, that's what all we thought about. - We were living like rock stars, though. I feel like we took on this lifestyle. We're like, we're gonna fucking live like rock stars. - There did is so good that we didn't have more. - Yeah, I was just, we would have died. - Because the clothing is, is that we were living like our versions of rock stars. - When you think of like-- - Within living like rock stars, like movie, blah, blah, blah. Like, no, it was pretty tame in that aspect of it. - We got a free hot tub from our buddy. We put that shit in the shop. - Yeah, and then we were like, we were like, oh shit, we got a new hot tub. Should we throw a party tonight? - Yeah. - It's a Tuesday afternoon, invite everyone over. - Everyone over. - We were always partyin' before. - We were so hungover on Wednesday. We were like, well get chocked the whole day up. - I just remember like, going to the fridge at like, maybe it's 11, 30, and like, I'm maybe like, shippin' out some orders. I look, just grab a pound of beer and fuck it. I start drinking a beer like, what the fuck? - You know what, it was normal. - When you're young, you can do that too. Like, you'd just like, be completely fine. Like, if you just went and drank a beer in the middle of the day, like a pounder and you didn't keep drinking, you kind of gonna be tired, you know, like, and Evan's nod and like, you would. - I just wouldn't stop. - You'd have to keep drinking, you'd have to keep drinking. - Yeah, or you'd have to just, yeah, I don't know, but yeah, I'd just be clapped if I did that now. - But like, thingin' back to like, when we got our first Maverick, I remember we were just like, dude, we made it. We got a side by side, boys. And it's back. - Yeah, everywhere. - Yeah, we ripped that thing. - It's awesome. - One of our boys came home and just fucking end of Ren crashed it. - Yeah. - Oh yeah. - And that's the things that come with owning a side by side. - Yeah, I think we learned real quick what owning a side by side was like. - Let's tell that story. Let's tell that story. So, we're out at Zorba's party and then Zorba's clothes is, go back to the shop and keep party and we always, everyone's always welcome. Everyone comes over to the shop. Who knows, it's probably 2.30 in the morning at this point. One of our friends hops in the side by side with just another girl that we don't even know hops in, starts fuckin' ripin' around, driving the thing like 80 and those the shit out of it. They get ejected out of the side by side. They didn't have seat belts on. So fucking lucky. They didn't get hit, they both get up and like, are relatively fine. And, uh. - It was just light cuts and scrapes, but we're not doing that. But then the side by side, it was so lucky. - Yeah, and that's when we said, nobody can drive the side by side. (laughing) - This is a blast, it's like, come back. You know, we're still partying. Oh, wait, what happened? You kind of see how they're like not too banged up and you're like, they, what they did, what? And then, well, who okayed that? - And this is all, I thought, probably you did. (laughing) - I don't think anybody did. - Yeah, then we're like, what did it? - We just hopped in and did it. - Dude, it's so, um, so lucky, honestly. That could have ended us, bro. Super lucky, we were definitely had somebody watching out for us and them. - Yeah. - That was a crazy situation. A lot of times though, a lot of times. But yeah, I mean, we're still doing crazy shit all the time. Like, how was Vegas for the 27th time this year? - Oh, great, that was great. - That was actually one of my second time. - Great, Ken goes back in two weeks though. - Yeah. - And then he goes back and he goes back again. - Well, I'm going to the rodeo and then the following week is-- - Can't miss that. (laughing) - Yeah, it's his birthday. - And the rodeo's also in town that weekend as well. - Not missing that, Ken. So how was it? - It was good. I mean, it was, I'm not, there was no crazy doors that, you know, we're really big and crazy house parties and stuff like that. - No handles, no handles on the door. - Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I forgot about that. - Yeah, I don't know. - We met up with Robbie Layton, saw the progress on the movie. - Yeah, how's it looking? - Lit. - Insane, dude. I mean, it's actually insane. - Yeah, so you guys went for SEMA. - Yep. - So Ken, Ryan, Mike. - Gavin Ranch, Mark Gavin Ranch. They all went to SEMA. SEMA. - Yeah, we went to SEMA one day. - We were downwind from SEMA. - We could hear it. - We saw some of the cars leave later. - Yeah. - And then, yeah, CJ, Evan and I and Dalton stayed back. But yeah, how was the Hunicorn insane? - So, first of all, looks visually it's insane, but everything they're building is out of like, thick aluminum and metal. - Smart. - So, like the splitter is like, Ken hung on the splitter. - I sat on the splitter and it didn't even budge. - Did they want you to? - No. - Well, he was like, yeah, you can, you can tell him, you're breaking it. - Well, he was like, you can sit on this. And I was like, okay. And then I sat on it and it didn't budge at all. Yeah, so everything's super strong. Instead of trying to make it, you proof. - If you hit a tree this time, the tree's just gonna, you're just gonna slice through it with that. It's gonna use the splitter like a knife. - Smart. - Yeah, it was, it was also sick. Like, you got a lot of attention. - Oh my gosh. - Yeah. - Like, it was on the quantum that crazy welding table that he got to straighten it out. And dude, people were just like, frickin' underneath it, looking like. - Yeah, it's a work of art, right? - Yeah, oh yeah. - It's unbelievable. - Yeah, it's so cool. I was chatting with him and I was like, how much you think you've got into this right now? He goes, I would bet right now as it sits, keep in mind no interior, not tuned, not painted. None of the things. He goes, probably like 200 grand. - No! - What? Lamborghini money. - Plus, we had our 80 grand into it. - Yeah. - What? - Yeah. - I mean that, many hours and that much metal. - Shout out Robbie Layton, holy shit. - Basically, I know. - The whole car is new. The only existing body panels are the roof and the trunk lid. That's it. Everything else is like brand new, the frame is all new. It's insane. - My dad actually is the one keeping me up to date on what's going on on the Hoonacorn build. 'Cause I don't want to watch his videos 'cause I want to be surprised. I mean, I want to see it for the first time and like go over all the details with him in person and get my honest genuine reaction of being amazed. But my dad has watched every minute of Robbie's videos that he's put out. Once you do see it, you should go back and scrub him because like, I know and now I'm debating, 'cause now after Seema, I see it all over my feed. - It's crazy, it's everywhere. - Yeah, it's everywhere. So I'm like, I'll start watching a video and then I'll pop up, I'm like, damn it. I see like one more thing that each time I'm like, holy shit. - It looks so cool. - So at this point, I've maybe seen enough where I could probably just go back in. 'Cause I owe it to Robbie. I gotta give him every view that he's absolutely right. So I feel like I feel bad for not watching them, but I want to be surprised for it. But my dad's just like, he's excited. He's like, you don't know the level of detail that's going into this thing. Like you will be mind blown. And he was like, I cannot believe that somebody is doing this for you guys. - Yeah. - One of the nicest things ever. - Oh, yeah, it's ever. - Oh, look here, we crazy. - Yeah, I mean, it's pretty cool. I was talking to Robbie about that. I go, dude, like it's been a dream of all of ours to have a car at Seema. Like how crazy that you made that come true. And I kind of was like, yeah, you know, like it's different, 'cause we're not building it. You know, our guys aren't and he goes, well, technically Gavin helped with the headers, hooking that connects up and he goes, also look around, dude, you know, none of these cars here are owned by the guy standing next to him, because it's some guy somewhere else who paid for the build to happen. I go, you're right. - It's also super unique at Seema, 'cause every other car is polished and completely finished. - Yeah, it's so hard, that's cool. - This one was the only car where it's like midway through building and restoring it. - That's really cool. - Everything else is, you know, like similar, ready. Like looks perfect, no driveshafts and shit. And they did that because it was on like a welding table and it was like in that booth. - Yeah, yeah. - So Robbie got a sponsorship from. - Quantum. - Quantum. - So they loved it, they were. - So Robbie got a sponsorship from quantum tables. - Well, they did. - Something like that. - Quantum. - Yeah, so they had the car on top of one of their tables there. - But just cut to the chase of the other sick part was the horse power rodeo. You know, think the first time we went to Seema, it was the Hoonigan burnout pit, which is still there as well. I think that was the first time they did it. And people, most people loved it. And then some people are like, what the hell? I can't hear, I can't breathe, I can't see. - I saw a lot of comments saying Seema was ruined, quote unquote, ruined by all the burnouts and the smoke and shit. - It's just boomers being pissed about it. - But, yes, and how they're like doubling, you know, they have the optimal drift pit and then they have Weston's horse power rodeo. - And they sell them. - The horse power rodeo is put on by Weston. - Yeah, good for him. - So he's, I think he's kind of in charge of like, getting all the burnout teams there and then like, they had like long travel trucks jumping, they had a Harley stunt crew there. And the craziest part was like, I don't know who's ensuring this event or whatever, like if it falls under the Seema insurance, but when they send, they send 10 Chevy, single cab Chevy's out there. - My goodness. - You would have loved it out there. - Oh, pro chef, yeah. - They're just like free for all and some guys, like 50 around the outside. Some guys doing small donuts in here, some of them are hitting each other, multiple fires, multiple vehicles start on fire. - I learned a secret about this. Apparently they're filling this is, I don't know about these guys, but there is guys out there that are filling their tires with gasoline. So when the tires pop, they explode. - That's pretty smart. - But like one guy like legitimately burned, down his truck to the point of where I'm standing there going. He's got to get out of that car. Like, I mean, it's fully engulfed in flames. And he kept going. And he kept going off the chip. No, he's just, yeah, he's bouncing off the chip, standing still. And I'm like, what's he waiting for? And then a long travel truck comes and jumps like 60 feet over. I'm going to go, oh, some of the craziest rollbacks I've ever seen. Don't run back. He was doing a rollback. And he got within like a couple of feet of the barricades. Right up there. As you should. As all rollback should. Yeah. And some barricades on the track of some Jersey barriers doing rollbacks just into an empty parking lot. Like those guys drifting those trucks was more entertaining than I think anything else they had going on there. And then I talked to the one dude in this just like the oldest chef just ripping the craziest rollbacks and he got hit by another dude. And then I talked to him, dude, I'm so bummed that truck was sick, like your boxes all crinkle, the cabs all crinkle. And he goes, I just finally just replace them. I'm like, I'll just replace the box in the cab. And then he's like, yeah, he's like, this is a seventh box on the third cab I've had on the truck. Oh, this is your life then destroy him. Yeah, it was, it was pretty cool. It's a different, different breed. I did like the like couch on the truck that western Gavin were on. That was sick. That's fitting. I haven't looked good. Was there any seatbelts on that? Oh, they had a ratchet strap. They didn't get hooked up properly. So like, you know, like when you press a ratchet strap down and then it unhooks from what it's unhooked on, it just did that immediately. And then I took the ratchet strap from Gavin because it was like hanging back to the tire. I was like, this is going to be worse than having a, you know, who is living like a rock star Gavin, that guy's all over doing so much stuff. It's cool to like kind of watch him grow as like a person and a character to like, like he's really doing a good job of like living that role. Like he's always on. We were Gavin's plus ones at this thing. They were like, who are you here with? I'm like, uh, shred 80. They're like, okay, well, you only get three people. It's like shit. We've got nine. It's trekkin. Yeah. And it's, it's shred. Yeah. No, no, no, no. They're good, baby. But I'm right. Get right in there. He's on the couch three minutes later doing burnouts out there, hyping up the crowd. I mean, shreds the man. We've, we've said it forever, but our generation's greatest entertainer is just on ESPN. Yeah. You don't know what, dude, this guy's popping up on every YouTube channel. He's popping up on every social media platform and on every big page. ESPN. Dude, ESPN, Gav, you remember that one guy? ESPN Ron. He was a wheelie boy back in the day. And he popped off and just doing some crazy two stroke wheelies on the street. And he changed his name from Ron to ESPN Ron. So I think since Gav been on ESPN so much money, Ron. Now he ran was what it was originally and now he's ESPN Ron. Yeah. I think it should be fucking ESPN. Yeah. He got, he got an ESPN chain. We should get Gav. Bro, we should. That's nice of us. You've been on ESPN. Yeah. I'm pretty sure you've had like a couple of clips of that. Yeah, they've like been there, though. Yeah, dude. I can, which one of the couple? I used a couple of different. I think dude, like some, some crazy son, like, yeah, or front flip mini trucks. Or the mini truck. I think ESPN or ESPN bed. So we'll grab you a chain too, brother. Yeah, dude. I hitched a ride with some subs out of the, like, the Seaman parade, which is really fun. And dude, they had this huge duly on like an 18 and a duly ram on 18 inch lift, like frickin front drive shaft. It did have a front drive path. And people were checking too. Like on the parade. They're like, I see you. Is that thing work? Yep. And then 18 inch lift, 18 inch lift with 30 inch rims and 40. It had to be the biggest truck ever. Inge tires. That was huge. Yeah. I mean, it was, it was like fun. We were lit. It took us like an hour just to get like out of SEMA. But uh, then I saw, we got out on the strip. And I'm just like, there's sick cars everywhere. Lambo's huge trucks. And then I see Weston driving his couch. I didn't get a video, but I see a shot off the other way on on his couch. And then that just that was that made my day. We were in an Uber going from one casino to the next. And I, I look ahead a few cars and I'm like, how that Lamborghini looks? That sounds pretty good. And then we get a couple cars closer. It's like, Oh my gosh. That's Tim, our, our Lambo winner. Yeah. On how it didn't in our giveaway. Yeah. That's crazy. That up with them had dinner and you guys did. Yeah. You went out with them. Oh, that's right. Yeah. It was climbing all over his Lambo. Dude, we might have had a couple at dinner and he was like, Gavin, get on top of the car, get on the car. Dude, if I want a Lamborghini, I'd have people climbing it. It's like 12,000 miles in that thing. He's, he's put on it since he got as he should. Yeah. As he should. Dude, he seems like he's driving that thing everywhere everywhere. Yeah. That's sure. I probably wasn't even before he went home. He just think like sick lightly topped it out on the salt flats on the way back home. How fast did he get it to? 173, I believe. That's it. It'll go fast. That's why I said lightly. I think he had more in it. But I think on salt that's pretty. Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah. 175 is how salt. That is that for the car. Oh, well, you saw what happened to our shifter cars when we took them to the salt flats. They have it rusty tail. Yeah. Immediately after you got to make sure you get the 100. Yeah, but like every nut and got to lift that thing up. Just just run it through a touch car wash a couple times. A couple times. You got to need more than that. Yeah. He had his Viper buddy out there and he was like doing donuts and the salt build up on the back. Salt flats is such a cool place. It is amazing. It's a wonder of the world. You lick the ground. It tastes like salt. Remember when we drove all the way there to find out it was flooded? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was probably one of the best. But then we went down the road to No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no 'cause you're not there bud, just you weren't there. It would have been more fun if you were there. If you and C's were there, I would-- - I appreciate that right. - And I have there would have been more and more fun. - I do appreciate that, but-- - No, I stayed home and I went deer hunting. It was a deer opener in Minnesota, so I was like, "Rock and go today, whenever." But you can only deer hunt two weeks a year. - Please tell me you got one. - Didn't even see a buck. - You didn't avenge me bro? - Didn't even see a buck, Ryan. - You hit 'em all, Ryan. - Yeah, yeah, you kind of cleared out the county. - But take it 'em out early. - Yeah, so no, it wasn't good. One guy, two guys actually in our camp shot like monsters. - Oh, really, that's good. - Yeah, and-- - And take a look at those. - Yeah, I'll show you. (laughing) - Yeah, and then, yeah, I didn't see a single buck right now. - Right, I have muzzle loader out, bro. - But it was fun. It was fun. I felt like I was in Vegas. I was shaking dice. - Oh, fun. - Yeah, I took 500 bucks off of our buddy, Brandt. - Oh, that had a feeling good. - Oh, it felt so good. It felt so good. And then the next morning, I turned around and I gave all that money to my brother. - Mm-hmm. - Yeah, lost it all. - Lost it all. - Yeah, got it sick. - Yeah, I mean, I thought you guys gambled. You just gave it to him? - No, no, no. Yeah, he wanted, he wanted fair and square from me. - You definitely came out better than if you were in Vegas, then. - Yeah. - I did, yeah. - For sure. - I only lost $200 in that trip. - I'd say that's a win. - And Ken gambled hard, bro. - I know, all I saw was Ken just going up to a slot machine putting $100 in and just doing this. - Like what are you doing? - I'm trying to get to a bonus 'cause you only win money in a bonus. - I don't know, not true Ken. - Pushing the button or you just go get it over in 10 seconds. - My hand pay on Huff and Puff was just through the lines. - Really? - That's crazy, actually. - It was all the big, the piggy with the suit. - Oh, the business pig? - The business pig. Yeah, I damn near blacked out the screen on business pigs. - How about you, Steve? - I'm trying to get it down. - You just put a fortnight down. - Take a fortnight. (laughing) - Got a horned up playing fortnight. - Alex, wonder why you were so sweaty while you were gaming? - Yeah, that's normal. - No, I didn't really game that much. I probably played like an hour and a half, but. - Spent the rest of the day. - No, no, no, no. (laughing) - I don't know, I can't remember. (laughing) - You guys put up Christmas decorations. - Oh yeah, Alex put up Christmas stuff on Sunday. - Is that legal? - She loves Christmas and she feels a little early, huh? - It is early, but it is. - It's the way to Thanksgiving, isn't that the rules? - It's the Friday of Thanksgiving. - I came back from the airport and she had Christmas music playing on the speaker. - Yeah, that's a little weird. - I don't know why, I really like it. - It just puts you in a good mood. It's just like, it's kind of calming, too. - Yeah, so at least the music she plays is like really calming. It's like jazz. - Exactly, so why not have that for two months instead of one? - It starts listening to jazz. - I've been listening to it. (laughing) - That's what she plays, bro. - It's like Christmas music jazz. - No, this is nice. - It's called having class, man. It's called having class. - Holy shit, we all live different weekends. These guys were in Vegas being degenerates and you were listening to jazz at all. - I know, I did, so I don't know. (laughing) - Sorry man, I don't remember that. - What you do, so you post the video Thursday night, then you got some sleep, I hope. And then what do your Friday look like? - Don't remember, Mike. (laughing) - Did you go to the gym, or do you go to the live? - I don't remember anything. (laughing) - Because you're all yours. Yes, he does. Yes, he does. (laughing) - For a non-born day. - He was like, for a non-born day. - I didn't start saying for a non-born day. - He was just saying for a non-born day. - He was funny for a night. - He didn't play no Sunday and we were all home by then. - Let me see if I can figure this out. - Who doesn't remember what they did four days ago? - Well, I have pictures. Let me see. - I'm asking for Friday and Saturday and that was-- - Take pictures of your Fortnite. - Look I did. (laughing) Saturday I went shopping with Alex. - Nice in bed. - Okay, so I took a picture of a picture that I was thinking about buying. - Nice, nice. - Maybe I went to the gym, I worked out a cold plunge, I was talking with Jake Kalat, Jake called me literally every 10 minutes and we'd be chatting. - Oh yeah, 'cause he's trying to buff things over. - Yeah, after blowing the hot dogs all over. - Hot dogs. - Yeah, so not only do you spray hot dogs all over but you need to help with some stuff, like the back end of his YouTube stuff so I was trying to help him. - But I really don't know. - He's got a lot of him. - We're talking about the hot dogs yet? - No, we haven't showed that to him yet. - We can leave it as is, but you guys will see it in two weeks. But yeah, so that was kind of it, I think. Watch football, of course, on Sunday. Do watch the bikes. - That was really nice. - Yeah, that was tough. - Yeah, dude, I don't have any good stories. I don't know how to do it. - It's all good. - Yeah, it's cool. - Yeah, we put you on the spot there. - Yeah, asking you what you were doing and shit. That wasn't cool. - I did see a lot of guys that posted Instagram stories of the deer they shot and some of them straight up looked like first year baby deer. I was like, I can't believe you one had the balls to shoot this thing and two fucking post it, bro. - To get down on your hands and knees, down here and hold up this little baby with your head, dude. - Like, if you all are, I don't know, just support my audience. - We're their comments, we're their comments like, bro. - I don't know. - Ryan's like, dude, I hit that on the way to the gym this morning every day. - I mean, they were like, if you shot it for your, you know, nine-year-old first year out. Like, I'm like, okay, you gave them the experience, but there's literally, it'd be like posting a picture with a, well, that's kind of funny. I feel like it's less funny. - If you went out and got your first six pointer, you'd probably be pretty hyped. - No, I actually first sure saw one that was just straight up a doe. - Okay. - I know, right, tiny little fucking little, everyone listening. - My 14 is the level, like, you can shoot a doe, you could even shoot a button box. I'm sure the meat's good. - Don't post about it. - You're grabbing the ears, holding the head up. Like what? - No, I just pictured like, he was holding it. Like, 'cause there's no antlers to grab, and he was like holding it by the side. And he's like, - Look at the camera. - Whole hand, like, went around the head of it. It was so tiny. - Yeah. - It was on Snapchat, I remember, it was gone. - 'Cause in Joe's shot one, that was so small one year, that was like bigger when they're running. You're all hyped up, you realize this thing was like the size of a dog. So we have a picture of him holding it, like a foley. He's pulling it out from his body to like, make it look bigger. But I think I had to be like, frickin' 60 pounds field dress. - I have a buddy, fuck it, I'll say his name, Elliot. (laughing) - So Elliot shot a, do you like the smallest deer you've ever seen? Like, it damn near still had spots on it. It was like a fun, - That's question it. - And back when we were in high school. And he had posted a picture, he sent a picture in the group chat. - Holy fuck. - And it's like Evan said, it's like, Ryan, you'd be pretty stoked, too. If you shot a six point block for your first time, it feels cooler than it looks, right? - Every time. - Every time, right? So he sends, it might've been his first year in the group chat, right? To this day, every single deer season. Everyone always like, if you're in a stand and there's like a fawn that comes up, like zoom in. Oh, Elliot, you would shot this thing 20 minutes ago. - Yeah, just like the class, like you become that guy. - Yeah. - What happens if you shoot a baby? Can you get in trouble for that or not? - That's just-- - It's just like morally fucked, doesn't it? - Yeah, it's like, I don't know, I had a doe and a fawn that were chilling for like 10, 15 minutes right under my stand. - So didn't see any box, didn't shoot anything, but it was cool to just be 15 yards away and watch 'em. - Oh, dude. - And I was like, you were still sitting and hunting, like they never knew I was there. - Yeah. - They were just living their life and wandered off. - It's gotta be hard to your hand with you ripping some ass. (laughing) - They're all in the same. (laughing) - It sounds like a grunt call and then the smell, they must think there's some good cheats or something. - Yeah. - Yeah, the cool part about doe's that come in is usually if a doe comes in hot, it's being chased by a buck. So a lot of times, if you're sitting there, you're not seeing shit and a doe comes in, you're stoked to see the doe. But if like this doe is moving kind of hot, more times than not, it's because it's like running away from a buck. - It's being chased by a man. - It's being chased, yeah, by a dog. And so that's when like if a doe is coming through hot and you get your gun ready and you're just like waiting. And then if the buck pops out, you're like, "Oh, you shit!" And then that's when like the buck fever really hits. 'Cause like you kind of anticipate it coming and then it pops up and you're like, "Oh, it's time." - Dude, I wish that you guys could, honestly you just gotta come hunting with me. So you gotta get your hunter safety, you gotta come out with me and you can experience buck fever and as soon as you do, you'll be like, "Oh, this is sick. This is why they do it." And then you'll shoot a six point. (laughing) - I ain't posing no bug in picture of it, though. - I'm supposed to picture 'cause you can be so proud. - So stoked. - Yeah, right. But also a six point. It's kind of like rod size. Like you could have a six point that's tiny or you could have a six point that's like kind of big. - Yeah. - Talking about, what are you talking about rod size? Like, what are you talking about? Like, you get two white guys that are the same height and same build, they don't got the same rod size. - Jesus Christ. - You're gonna be a little more happy. - Yeah, that was a very weird way to describe it. - Yeah, that was a very good way to describe it. - You're saying some racks are more girthy than others. - Correct, correct. Some really sprout up and stuff. - I mean, most times, I have never seen a girthy six. (laughing) - But you've seen a long six? You've seen a long six before. I don't know what I'm talking about. - And I prefer to not talk about the girthy six points. - You could step it up to an eight. There's such a thing as a small eight and there's such a thing as a big eight. - Yeah. (laughing) - Quit that. - Yeah. - What are your thoughts on that, Ken? - Quit that. - I've never hunted before so. - And Ken, some people on that couch should maybe stay that way. - Yeah, both of us. - No, CJ would be fine. (laughing) - You, I'd be walking through the woods, head to toe and blaze orange, and I'd still be concerned about you. - Oh fuck. (laughing) - Back to my shoe and I got this gun in the stand, blow through the side. Oh fuck, fucking shoot through the other thing. - I think I'd be most excited if one of you guys shot one. I don't know if you've experienced like field dressing a deer, but I think that would be pretty funny. No, it's laying there. It's like, now what? - No you got it. - It's like tossing a knife, right? Cut it's balls off. - Get after it. - Rip its ass hole out. - It's pretty. - I'll just try and go hunting with my car. (laughing) - There you go. - Oh, you keep driving until we find another one. - Ken, Ken hits a deer with his saver truck, and he's like, "Ooh, what a rush." (laughing) - Man, they were a kid, I'm not the fuck people, yeah. - I saw a good old Tesla hit and run in Vegas. Just wanted out on the street and I was like, "Ah, there's some sick cars going by. I should grab a video." And like right as I look up, like kind of start taking my phone out, I see this Tesla hauling and I'm like, you know, split second, thought was, dude, these guys are gonna hit somebody. See him slam their brakes? Ram into someone else and then just peel out. - Tesla style. - It must have been distracted by their suck attachment. (laughing) - Yeah. And then the other car like drives after him. I'm like, "Man, this shit doesn't happen in Cormorant." - Oh. - Ken, I heard something the other day that you haven't mentioned and that might be by design. - Oh. - Do you have to replace your entire great wall of Ken? - Yes, I do. (laughing) - What? - Very bad deal, yeah. - Very bad deal. I thought I was being frugal and I chose the lowest better. I should not have chosen the lowest better. - Okay. - So he didn't do the work correctly and the wall was falling over. - Already? - So just, you know, there's like three tears. - 100 racks down the drain. - 100 racks. - Just like that. - But I'm saying there's like three tears. So if one was falling over, you have to replace them all. - So it's like the middle one was falling over. - The worst one probably. - But then you would have to do the one above that. - It's dressing it, yeah. - And then he was looking at it and he was like, "Oh, this lowest one is also built incorrectly and will fall over over time." - What does that even mean? Like when you say, "Could the naked eye pick it up?" - Yeah, so like I could watch on my security camera over the course of the summer. It sunk and then it was also leaning forward. - Holy shit. So how did he mess that up? - He didn't know what he was doing. - Made a mistake. - I did bad 'cause he did pass away, but I did hire the wrong guy. - Rest in peace to whoever the contractor was for that, but you really can't do anything. Besides redo it. - No, it's, I chatted with this guy and he's like, "You already have the material." So it's literally just our time to rip everything out. Do it the same way. No, it's it's gonna be completely different now. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna - I don't have a ramp like Ryan's old house. - I've got some videos of it, but it's so funny because Ken's wall was the talk of the lake. It were referring to as Ken's wall. Like everyone knew where, like I mean, people were going by admiring like, that's a massive retaining wall. - It was amazing. - It was amazing. - It was amazing. - Wow, I can't even believe he got it approved. This, that and the other. And then they're gonna come back next year. He's gonna have it all just changed. - They're gonna be like, oh, he's shit. - He's gonna be like his wall, so he just changed it. That's insane. Is he gonna do another one next year, like? But anyway, so Alex didn't know. - It's like decorating your house. - Get this, get this. Alex didn't know that Ken had to take his wall out. And we were cruising around one Sunday. And I was like, let's go see on Ken's house. See the progress he hadn't been over there. She hadn't heard about it. So we pull up. I'm gonna play the video. But basically, all of Ken's retaining wall work. Rock was taken out. And it was put in between his family's little cabin and his house. And she goes, what's he doing here? I go, oh, yeah, he's building the wall. And she's like, are you serious? I'm like, yeah, yeah, he's building, he wants privacy between him. She's like, but she's not doing it on the other side. I go, no, just that side. She's like, oh my god, Ken. And it's like this massive wall, like a massive wall. You know, with huge picture and how many freaking rocks there were. - Yeah, they're like so thick. It's like something you could walk on top. But she thought it was real. And it was really funny. But, so we're checking out Big Ken's house. I love how he's building the great wall of Ken. - Building a wall next to his family's cabin. - His house from his family's house just so they don't know what's going on over here. Give him some privacy. - I mean, this is, that is right. - To be fair, though, Ken, that is something you would do. - And over there, there's just no wall. - He doesn't fuck with his family. - Is this actually how it's gonna go? - No, I mean, I think it might be a little wider and he was planning. We've got the great wall of Ken here, his house. He's building this wall just to give him some privacy from his family's cabin. - Well, we're back from the front. - So anyways, and here's now the front. It's all ripped out. - Holy, the ramp is sick, though. - Holy fuck. - Yeah, so it's gonna be a ramp like your old house was. - And then what? - I don't know, it's tough to explain. You have to see it when it's done. - Just something different for this year. - Holy. Yeah, it's a shame. - How did you get in there, Ken? - It's unlocked. I took a shit in the corner. - Oh my god. - Your bathroom wasn't even in like, did no toilets? - Well, you gotta aim, have a precise aim in the hole. - I just put it in the corner. I figured they'd clean it up. - Yeah, it was one of those like square holes on the floor. (laughing) - Yeah, it's interesting. You did just blowing it in metal, but like a rectangle that's like two inches wide and like-- - It was pretty nice. - It was pretty nice. - It was pretty nice though that you put one in every room. - I put multiple in every room. - With a great, though, I had to step on it to push it through. - Waffle stop. - Waffle stop. - Yeah. - It's in front of the windows, good view. - Ken fires up his AC next summer. - Oh, it smells like a prank. - It smells like shoot now. - That's something Matt would have done. - So this is going back to our conversation at lunch. I truly think we should do a live stream. Well, more so you should do a live stream, Ken, 'cause you're gonna be starring in it. I don't even know if we're gonna be over there. But like a 24 hour live stream can at his house. We have all of his security cameras live. - In every room. - And it's just switching to whichever one that he-- - So it's basically-- - That place is covered like a fucking bank in security cameras. - So you're basically talking big brother. - Yeah. - Yeah. - But you don't even worry about the cameras. Pretend they're not even there. Just live your life to your thing and but your friends over have your parties. Like I think that live stream would go insane. And then-- - I'd watch it. - Like we've been saying for the longest time, I really do think that maybe we'll do just a YouTube video of this but just a video full length, no cuts, you sleeping. We'll just try pod. Don't know if they have to be in the room with you. - I think you've lost your mind, actually. What you think is one not creepy. - Nobody ever said that it wasn't creepy. - Yeah, no one ever said it wasn't creepy. It's not creepy on your park and it's creepy on the people that would be watching it maybe. But I think it's gonna be a very entertaining, powerful piece of content. - I feel like anyone who watches that would be extremely fucked in the head. - I don't-- - I think people-- - There's no comment section right now probably saying do both of those ideas. They would think that was a funny ass idea. - Dude, if my favorite YouTuber was doing a sleeping stream, I'd have to tune in. That doesn't make me creepy. I just wanna see what's going on. - The issue would pop. - Does he just talk in his sleep, does he snore? - Do you fart in your sleep? - I don't know, I guess we'll find out. - And then-- - Hey! - It's happening. - Dude, get your start purr, get your start purr. - Start purr, launch. - If you wanna split some of the embarrassment I could join you. - No, I might get out of here. - No, no, no, no, I'm just kidding. You know, and then what we do for a follow-up, they always say a good YouTube video idea. There's gotta be a follow-up to it. So this will be Ken sleeping too. And what we'll do is we'll have him watch a scary movie before he goes to bed. And then this one, Ken sleeping too, night terror edition. (laughing) - And we've got night terror. It's been a bunch of like pre-workout. - Yeah, pre-workout will be the third one. So we'll have Ken take pre-workout at like 10, right? Before he goes to bed. And then it's just him tossing and turning on. (laughing) - We're scraping the bottom of the barrel on these ideas. - Dude, I think those would go a million views, easy. - Easy. - I actually probably more than a million, probably three. 'Cause who the fuck does that? - Sure, someone's gonna take this idea now and do it. But chances are, they don't have cloud like you though, so it won't pop. - I mean, genuine question since we are clearly thinking about producing this. Like, what if like nothing happened? - That's just fine, I think it's just more so like. - What are you thinking to happen? Like, he's just sleeping. - I'm just, I guess, being a little realistic here, like, is that it? - Yeah, but you're gonna watch every minute. - It's gonna be fucking hilarious. - That's the one, am I? - That's the risk you take watching a stream. 'Cause it's just, you don't know what's happening. - This might just be a YouTube video. - Oh, just a video too. - I think his house is live streamed. The 24-hour livestream. - I would definitely make a cameo on that. I've always wanted to be in a live stream. - Yeah, that'd be lit. - People tune in just to see Ken, you know. - Yeah, and then they'd be like, "Oh, they have his buddies, his buddies are there." - Yeah, I don't know if you'd classify as one of his buddies. - I don't know if any of us are gonna be welcome for his entire live stream. - Let's be real. - Ken, let's be real in the next 24-hour livestream. None of us are even there. - We didn't even hear about it. - Depends on what kind of pranks are getting pulled at it. - No, I would just be there to have a good time. - Just gifts. - Some of these gifts aren't exactly the best. Let's put it lightly. - I would like to be able to say the same to you, but you've never gotten me a gift. - Yeah, same. - I guess I can't even complain about your gift. - To be fair, you have done more for less. (laughing) - This is as easy as it gets. - You're just doing something you already do. - Yeah, it's literally just my house though, I don't know. I think it's kind of creepy watching people live their life in their house, just go around and sleep. - But you don't have to watch them. - No, I just don't have to. - You just don't have to be actually creepy. - We'll give you the benefit of the doubt. In one of the bathrooms we won't have a camera. - Well, I will have a bite. - I'm not putting a bathroom. I'm not putting a camera in the bathroom. - On the door, he goes in. (laughing) - He used it out? 20 minutes to that. - Well, this stream sounds insane, if I wanted to make some money, that's how to do it right there. - I don't even know, I mean, we might even just do it for free for the love of the game. - Yeah, no, I'm not even talking about making money. I'm just talking about making a-- - Well, that's what I'm gonna be. - Oh, this is a complete and charged stream. - Listen, I'm getting at it. If you had a shot of him blowing out the bathroom, that's where you would spike. - Sponsored by dude wipes? - Yo, yo, what about throughout the live stream? - You don't know when he's gonna do it, but he's gonna do four better health problems. (laughing) - So this live stream is brought to you by better health. He's gonna like sprinkle them in, and then that's how you're gonna hold your attention, too. - Hold your eye, keep on. - That's how he's gonna hold your attention. I'm like, oh dude, I'm just watching Ken literally do nothing until his next better health problem. - All right, it's 230. Time for today's sponsor, better health, bro. - But you accidentally forget to do, you do one, and then you like do the last three at the end in a row. - It's not gonna be Ken doing nothing over there, guys. It's gonna be like a fucking great Gatsby party. - Anyone who's anyone's gonna be there. Obviously we're not gonna be there, but anyone who's anyone in town is gonna be there. - B.J. Shaydo. - Horus. - Jimmy. - New York, chill. - He's fucking clear. - The roster. - It's gonna be very entertaining. - I like it. I think we'll probably just plan to do it once your house is done Ken. - Yo, I'll have the security camera guy go over there and get me hacked in so we can just-- - Well, you don't even have to do any. They just don't show up to work, what to say. - Hey, enjoy your new house. In fact, don't leave it for 24 hours. - Sure, you want me to wire up my house like so we can do this for me. - Oh, yeah, you do think next year when your house is done. - No, listen Ryan, I wish that I wish that I was in the same boat as Ken, but we gotta just face the facts that we're not, we're not as entertaining as Ken. We can't just do nothing and be the second greatest entertainer of our time right behind Gavin. - Yes, he ridiculous is getting canceled. - One of the new canceled are they just done doing. - I haven't seen a clickbait saying canceled. - No, they made a post, he made a post. - Well, yeah, I was just filming anymore. - But they're going to just have these ridiculous reruns for the next 12 years. - Oh, so does anyone have any words? - They'll have new ones coming out though. - They were filming like 12 a day. - So basically, it's said from 2011 to 2018, that's seven years, they filmed 320 episodes. And then on the latter end, they filmed 350 or 370 a year. - Yeah, 2400. - 2400 just to see if you just imagine they're launching one new episode of Ridiculousness a week. They could probably do more than that. - All I gotta say is, shout out Rob Deertic, man. That's insane run. - That's insane. - I remember when Robin Bigg came out on MTV, and the fact that he was on MTV running it from 20,000 six all the way to 2025, that's an insane run. - It says there, Hill Air's final episode in 2026. - Oh, that's crazy. - It seems like you look at MTV's programming schedule, it's just Ridiculousness, and the Ridiculousness spin-offs. It's nothing else. - Dude, what happened to MTV? - I mean, they've been saying that for years, dude. I remember when I was a little kid, and people would complain about shows like Robin Bigg, they're supposed to be music videos on this channel. Remember back when MTV just played music videos? Now it's all this reality junk, and now it's, you know, there's been so many, yeah. - I'm just curious, it's like, what's next for it? Are they gonna open it back up to airing more than one show and it's spin-offs? - I just think that if you don't get to pick what you're watching, it's gonna be tough, man. I just think it's tough. Like even South Park, they've just-- - But I think they'll take their name and make not live. - There's no way that they're not going anywhere. They're gonna have to pivot, though, for sure. - Yeah, how they not pivoted at this point, though, is what I'm asking. - Well, that was their pivot with ridiculousness. - What a borderline YouTube videos. - I mean, it must still have been profitable. It was like TikTok, just constantly new shit. Like, you know, you can pop in at any point and understand what's going on. I think that was, but yeah, it wasn't necessarily probably. - Does anyone watch that, though? - This is their schedule. - Only in a hotel. - Only in a hotel. - Only in a hotel. - Only in a hotel. - I flip back and forth like, you go to Comedy Central and South Park is on and then when that goes to commercial, you flip over to MTV and hope that ridiculousness isn't also on a commercial. - But yeah, I mean, what an awful experience it is to get 20 minutes of entertainment and watch 10 minutes of ads and the entertainment's mediocre. I'm not saying it's not entertaining, but. - I think it's just tough. There's so much good content out there now and people don't want to wait. Or on the flip, I will say, I enjoy watching TV. Maybe it's when I'm not necessarily paying a lot of attention to it, but it's easy to just put on and there's something about it. I don't know. - I do love like living like the old days where you do shit during commercial break. - I can't do that. - No, wait, do shit or do shit? - Like, well, like, just do whatever you want. - Okay, so do this. - What do you do for that commercial break? - You could build a Lego Lamborghini. You could do a puzzle. - No, you know Mike's tinkering on shit. - Yeah. - He's fucking picking up leaves in the background of 90% of our videos, bro. - You know, he's pulling weeds. - Pulling weeds. - Right, and pull him in there. - I don't have them all curated yet, but I do have a couple. - I will not watch like. - All right. - TV. - I'll put it in like my DVR library. And if I want to watch an episode, I'll just wait 'til it's recorded and so you can just skip right through it. - That's not ideal. - Watch it commercial. - You're recording? - Oh, you just put Joe still? - He's got a TV. - No, I just do a TV. - No, on YouTube TV, you can record. - Oh, yeah. - I do this. - I just felt like that you met like direct TV record. Remember that? - Yeah, I was like. - I want to watch every episode of like Rick and Morty or anything else and it just got it. - Like every time an episode plays, it's just all in your library. - Yeah. - Just skip through every single ad. - Before we stray too far from this Ryan, are you pulling this up? - I only have one. - There's got to be like 30. - There's one in the background of the, like we're in the middle of filming, you just walk off and just start pulling weeds. - Yeah, so can somebody actually watching this right now make a compilation of Mike doing random shit while we're filming? Like in the background. Like if we're talking to the camera and Mike's in the background doing something, 'cause I think that there's probably like an hour of content. - Every single time we're doing stuff while we're filming. - Every single time we're at the track, anyone can be talking. Mike will turn around, walk five feet, pull something out. - Yeah. - Sometimes it's treasure. - We're in the shop who go clean something here. - You go at the garbage, break down a cardboard box. - It's every single thing. - The box, yup. - Love doing that. I mean, I have severe ADHD. - So Mike's over there pulling garbage. People in the comments. - Oh, I'm so fucking sick of Ben and CJ. Just like hosting the show. Oh, fuck, half the rest of the crew is pulling weeds. - Doing shit. - No, these guys just do the talking. And like I could do more of it, but like, I mean on the vehicle tour, like I try to interject, doesn't really work sometimes, but like that's fine. That's okay with me. - You can talk as much as you want. - Yes, but it's sometimes really hard to do when other people are talking or when other people talk over you. I'm not bummed about it. I'm just like, that's just what happens. So yeah, me going off to pull weeds is pretty whack, but also it's funny. It is funny. I could get a kick out of it. - Speaking of television, dude, South Park, love those guys, grew up watching South Park. What the fuck? They get me, they get me all, I mean, it's not even that. Imagine if we did this shit all the time. There'll be like new episode Wednesday, tune in. New episode next Wednesday. They just keep putting it off. And then eventually they just postponed it like three weeks. - No shit. - It's insane. - It's insane. So now they're on like a bi-weekly new thing. Chances are they just, they've been doing it for so long. They're fucking so rich and they make the episode within like a week. So kind of like a YouTube video, but I'm sure they're just like, why are we working this hard? So now you're going to like insane contract? - Billion dollars or something, insane. But uh. - For Hulu? - No paramount, paramount. - But yeah, anyways, it's crazy, but love South Park. - Okay, I'm surprised that the network allows it though. They've done whatever they wanted for it. It's like, yeah. - Ever since they started. - Like they'd be like, "You can't put that on TV." They're like, "No, yeah, we are." And they just do it. And like they'd be backlash and they would not care. - It used to be they delivered the show to the network. So like right before it had to launch, where they didn't have time to review it. So they just, whatever played played. - Yeah, that's so crazy. - And they did like a live thing. I remember they had like some like sacred prophet. - Oh, Muhammad. - Yeah. And like they weren't supposed to put them in there. And then I think even like there were threats. Like if they put them in there and they were on like live TV and like, "We were just gonna do what we want." And then like they made some compromise with comedy central. And instead they put them in like a bear outfit. - Oh yeah, that's the bear outfit. - I'm pretty sure you can't even, I'm pretty sure you can't even watch that episode. Like it's been taken down from everywhere. - Holy shit. - But yeah, they've got some savage ass episodes. - Like kings of the work around. - It is crazy though, like the new stuff definitely isn't as good as the old stuff. But what you do, man, I still am happy that there's still make stuff. - It kind of goes back to the AI stuff we were talking about earlier. And how lazy it's making people. Dalton, I'm actually, I'm glad you're here for this. So we, I opened up all the fan mail for this month. Basically we get it and it comes in like a big bundle. - One whole letter. - Love fan mail that we get. - We do get a lot of fan mail. We save all of it too. We do, I have it all in multiple boxes in my office. This one, Deer C Boys, S-E-A-B-O-Y-S. It's just chat G-P-T. - Wait. - They didn't even have the fucking balls to take it out of chat G-P-T. - Screen shot and sent the picture. - Yeah, what? - They couldn't just put in the notes app. - No, yeah. - What's your name, what's your name here? - It's pretty funny. They did have a good. - Cook, man. - They did have a good little prompt here. You had some official street signs for sending you this one in honor of your very own orange-fingered cameraman himself. - Wow, that looks like it was stolen. - That's a hot item. - That's a big one too. - I thought cool. - That's actually sick. - They make work for a sign company. Oh no, that shit was on a pole, dude. - Oh yeah. - Dude, that thing is huge. - Let me give this straight. Somebody stole a sign. Thought, let's send this to C-Boys. - Yep. - But I don't want to write a message. - You don't want to write the message. So I'm going to prompt something from ChadGBT. I'm not even going to copy and paste it. I'm going to screenshot it, print out that screenshot and send it with the sign. - Yeah, I'm sure they paid probably like, freaking $17 to ship this to. - But that's easily the most insane part. - Wow. - Am I in possession of stolen property? - Yeah, yeah, that definitely is stolen property. - Well, I'll be returning it swiftly to the highway department. - You know what state it came from? - No, I'm going to go to all 50 states and check. - Well, and just look it up. - Dalton road. - That's what you mean. - Is that right? - Is that right? - I mean, private road. - Oh, that's probably fun. - Oh! - Look it up, look it up. - Look up, adult road. - I think that signs a little bit bigger than traditional. - Hey, you're right. - You know, so it's almost like that is probably, but there's also like, big green ones that go up on like the big stop lights and stuff that are not normal road signs. - Anyway, as I said, now when you're up and around or filming another questionable idea, you can say it finally happened on Dalton Road. Just make sure the sign doesn't end up in the pond or in one of Dalton's Cheeto dust clouds. Keep the chaos alive. See you down Dalton Road. - There's a lot of Dalton roads in California, Kansas, Arizona. - There's an I-works road in South Dakota and I've always thought about going in. Just taking a little peek I know well now maybe that's what I do. I'm gonna go steal the Sherbrook Road signs and just give them to Cody Hey, I got these for you. They have your name on it. What you stole those from David dude. I wonder how Dave's like what the fuck how did did Dave get the roads renamed? Yeah, you can do that uh Richard used to own all the land. Yeah, and then so you just named the roads after him. It's so sick. So we own enough land we could change the name of the road. They're driving. They could probably turn into a road. Yeah, I think it was land. Come on that joke. The roads are penis Yeah, the roads are penis and I'm going for a road ride They're about to be We could name our driveway that that's what I'm saying penis. Do you have a little curved to the right or left? I guess So back story it was snowing super hard And we were building our first r6 quad with vast and we were all sitting there under there Just looking at ms as he's trying to figure out what to do and Ken comes in and it's just blizzering and we're like how is it out there? The roads are penis Never dropped it. We just cracked jokes about it ever since the roads are penis and I'm gonna take the long way Out of out of heaven good. I recall it being a long I think he said it like dude the roads are ass But he used penis instead of ads roads are penis. Yeah, yeah No one really uses that word as much as they should Yeah, like he always got like dick or something Like you come with a but penis. That's like proper That's proper anatomy.
