Alright guys, a little bit of a different video for you today. We're going to be doing a full compound tour. What we're going to be doing is showing you guys in depth behind the scenes of just all of our shops, all of our tracks, basically our full compound, some hidden storage units. You guys see them in the background of the videos as you watch them, but we've never actually shown you guys the layouts
and what is all actually there. So that's what we're gonna be doing today. Come on inside and we'll start with the main shop. So we bought this shop in 2020. It broke the bank when we got it and we slowly renovated it
as we went through a few years of ownership. But this first bay, we call it the pine bay.
This is mostly where we kind of hang out.
Chef Jen's here right now making lunch. Set up more is just like a living space, hangout area. Ultimate hangout spot for all the homies to come over. Obviously you gotta have the Viper here. It always seems to be one of Mike's cars that is sitting right here.
Between his Subaru and then the Viper.
It looks good, it's like how often do you get to park your car in the living room, so.
Yeah, this is front row parking.
So then over here we got kinda all the camera equipment. So Dalton does a really good job of keeping this all organized. It's insane how many cameras we have. Like, just right here, I think we have over 20-some GoPros. A lot of cameras that you're looking through right now, it's like a pretty expensive setup and we break them all the time. We probably go through a new camera once a month
to once every two months just because we're filming. Sometimes gnarly stuff, they're getting dropped, they're getting thrown in backpacks. They're getting drug up a mountain sometimes getting sprayed with rocks So you go through them Ken has a new drone ordered before the drone hits the ground Most yeah, I'll hit a tree. It'll hit the ground and kind of go. It's fine. I already have one on the way Yeah, but anyways over here. We got a nice big couch This is where we'll sit after a video gets posted every Thursday, we all watch them. Fiances, our wives, our girlfriends will come over and we'll cook, watch it.
If it's like a Saturday or a Sunday, we'll watch like the Vikings games or UFC fights.
We used to throw some pretty hard parties
in the back of the van.
We used to throw some pretty crazy parties, but. And the old couch that we had right here was mangled.
The old one had like two by fours holding it together. People were having fights on it. They were just knocking the thing over,
running into it. Like I said, when we bought this shop, it broke the bank. We were scraping pennies to get by, but we still managed to scrape enough pennies together to buy this used pool table.
We had our priorities.
Yeah, this was like the first thing we bought and put in the shop. And this thing gets a ton of use. It used to get even more use, we used to roll a lot of dice on it, hence the ATM. The ATM right here, we had it installed because people would come over, they'd wanna gamble, all of a sudden it came time to pay up,

Get started freeand oh, I don't have any money on me, this, that, and we got screwed so many times that we just had an ATM installed. This thing actually dispenses cash. Getting an ATM is not as easy as you'd think. Like, it's kind of a lot of stuff. I think everyone would think it's not easy. Yeah. Anyways, it's totally worth it though because now nobody owes us money. And we also have a five
dollar charge fee. So every time that it gets used, not only are they paying their debts, but we're also making five bucks on the back end. Check this out though, quick pan. Quick pan on Jen. We'll come back to that, we'll come back to that. So that's Chef Jen, she comes every day for lunch. We'll step outside. We actually had this door installed just because it was so dark in there, we felt like we needed some light.
And also we had this hot tub that we had in our first shop and we needed to be able to get out to it. inside of our fridge. It was sick, dude. Having the hot tub in the shop was sick. It always felt like chlorine in there. And then we turned it into more of a spa. So we have the sauna installed, and this thing is actually kind of a piece of shit. And it's even more of a piece of shit now
after Gavin, Shred 80, used it. Believe it or not, it's probably not that hard to believe, he broke this thing. He broke our sauna. That guy breaks everything he touches, quite literally when you break a sauna.
We used to have a little thermometer hanging right here.
No, no, no, no, it wasn't even hanging.
It was sitting over there.
It was sitting over there, Shred 80 gets in there. This dude is so, he's bigger than he knows, right? He's like a bull in a china shop, right? Busting things around, somehow knocked the thermometer onto that and then it melted into that and it broke the actual heating unit. Not sure how it happened, but things break around here and as soon as we heard it was Shred 80,
it honestly just became funny.
It made so much sense. This is what we call Evan's hot tub. And the reason why it's now Evan's hot tub is because after Evan goes in a tub like this, no one else is gonna hop in it. There ain't enough chlorine in the world. This pot could use a little bit of work here,
but we poured the concrete pad and we wanted to turn this area into the hangout area, just like the inside. We need to get a cold plunge, but honestly, doing it in the lake is just way more hard-o. We utilize every bit of all of the compound that we're gonna be showing you guys today. Even this little sliver, Mike has managed to fill it up with his skate park, which I love.
His skate park turned out dope, so he had this skate park built this summer.
That's why the fire pit's covered up right now. We used to have a rainbow rail, as you guys remember, Gavin trying that. When the Dern brothers were here, they hit the rainbow rail while it was on fire, and then Spenny skinnied it, I even attempted it a couple times on a street wheeler. Which was insane. Good little workout out here. I bring Evan out here and get him sweating.
We know that he doesn't like your traditional form of working out, so you gotta find exercise in other ways. We're so proud of the compound that we built out being like the ultimate fun zone, right? And between the drift track, the dirt bike tracks, all the different shops, you have to have a skate park, right? We took a lot of inspiration from people like
Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory, watching that growing up. That had a skate park inside the building, so we were pretty stoked when Mike was all about
building his own skate park behind our shop. One thing I do think funny about this is these crutches. So the guy who built this ramp setup, at like three in the morning, attempted the rainbow rail and broke his like foot or his leg and Mike went and grabbed Ken's trusty crutches. That he keeps on standby.
My classic crutches that he needs once a year.
And this, yeah, actually. And anyways, he went home and then like three months later, he just drove back. He lives like four hours away. Drove back and like just set him there. And we were like, wait, where'd these crutches come from? We checked the security cameras. He drove all the way back and returned the crutches and set them by the ramp.

that somebody needs them back here.
Oh!
It's all at the top, hit a stall at the top. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't. The setup isn't great. I'm sorry, Jen. She deserves something a lot better for how good her cooking is, but she makes do. And I promise we're gonna get you a better setup
one of these days. So as we said earlier, when we bought the shop, we had barely enough money to make the down payment to buy this place, right? Well, we had at least another $2,000 laying around in the bank account to buy a pool table. That's pretty much what we've done for everything else that we've built on the shop.
We'll make money and then we'll buy something that we deem necessary, like a drift track. What we don't necessarily deem as necessary is a kitchen remodel. I apologize, Jen, because what we got works, right? We're extremely frugal in some ways
and then we'll blow so much money in disgusting other ways
It makes no sense, but it makes sense to us in our business, which also makes no sense But what you got here is steak and mashed potatoes and vegetables today Insane lunch. Jen has actually been one of the greatest additions to the team solely off of our health So in Corn Route, there's about three Restaurants and every single day for the last eight years before we had Jen, we would pretty much just disperse
and that would basically kill the two hours of productivity of filming videos. And then yeah, we're basically just eating bar food every single day. The boys were getting tubby. I saw the comments, you guys were roasting me
back in the day, yeah, I was getting tubby, right? So bringing Jen in has not only kept the crew together,
so we eat lunch together every single day.
It's like a big happy family.
Yeah, Big Ranch and Gavin will come over. Justin's over here right now, and we get to eat together. So the camaraderie's good, but also we're a lot healthier. Everyone's stoked about it, except for Evan. Evan doesn't want to become healthier, but Jen is forcing him to.
I try to find things he likes.

Oh, bake-o bits.
Bacon bits that come in little... It's not bacon, bake-o. Yeah, they're not even real bacon bits. So if you come over here, we have our marble statue, which was hand chiseled and gifted to us by our friends who help us basically source our merch. This thing actually weighs 2,500 pounds like you cannot move it at all like it's it's going to be here forever. And the level
of detail that went into this thing is incredible. Actually right away when we got it we thought it was Ken because of the beard but he's rocking the goggles he's got the life wide open on the chest here. And then obviously the big life wide open with Seaboys. And then the year that Seaboys was founded to infinity. We plan on making these videos for a long time,
which is also a reason that we continue to invest into places like the compound and everywhere else that you're gonna see in this video. I do laugh though, because like that thing is going to outlive us. Like we're gonna have to give it to our kids and our kids are gonna have to give it to their grandkids. Someone's gonna end up with it that doesn't want it.
If we try and move that thing, it's probably gonna break or break us. Like it's, it's tough.
On the walls surrounding all of our shops, we have just like different pieces of memorabilia that we've collected over the last nine years of making YouTube videos. For example, these are screens that we used to screen print t-shirts way back in the day. So you would manually screen print the shirts and we did that for a couple years right away. But if somebody has the OG swingin' sweatshirt or the Seaboy sweatshirt that we put on those
camo sweatshirts, that's a relic. That's an OG.
We didn't know what swing meant back then. The only one still swinging is Ken. Ken bought most of the inventory there. Drink fridge right here, stocked with a variety of drinks. A lot of Two Turn Tony, some energy drinks. Shout out Two Turn Tony, he sends us a giant pallet of his teas every four months.
And they surprisingly go very fast. Hasn't been good for the productivity,
but we have had a lot of fun because of them.
Fridge check, mostly just leftovers. So whatever Jen made for lunch the last few days, there's always some leftovers, which is nice, because then you can eat it for dinner. But yeah, just kind of like a cabinet area, which hopefully we'll redo this soon.
Makeshift sink, but right here, I think this is, you know, a spot in the shop that maybe doesn't get enough praise. And this is, I mean, the MVP of the shop.
Yeah.
It's my second home away from home.
This is damn near your first office, Ken. So we've got the no can do restroom. This thing right here, they need to send it in for testing
because this thing is a beast. Round of applause, honestly.
Round of applause, honestly. It's a piece. I cannot believe how much this thing takes and it just keeps on flushing.

Get started freeI'm getting this thing duplicated for my house.
Are you?
But with bidets, I'd imagine.
Yep, yep, yep.
That's just data.
If you guys have been watching for a while, you'll remember when we actually turned this thing into the throne. Ken didn't like that though. Ken didn't like that. Don't mess with perfection. We found that out. So it stayed stock. It's the only thing we own that's stock.
The toilet.
You guys will see throughout this entire tour that we spend money maybe on things that are cooler rather than more practical. Perfect example of that is our bath mat. This bath mat is actually for drying dishes. It's supposed to be out there, and someone's like, eh, it's good enough as a Batman,
and now it's there.
I didn't even know that.
So over here, we have none other than Ryan's pinball machine and of course, it's a Corvette pinball machine. It's pretty sick. We actually spent a lot of time playing this when Ryan first got it. We played it so much that it broke
and just recently got fixed. At any hour of the day you just hear clack, clack, clack, clack, clack. Like somebody was always playing this.
We were, it was basically like a battle to see who could get the high score. And I believe Evan actually has the high score. He would like wake up in the middle of the night and if he couldn't sleep, he would just start playing it.
Mike, it's Mike.
Oh, Mike. Here we got a variety of Poppios, pit bikes, a lot of them, but believe it or not, we're actually short one Poppio, and it is none other than Mike's Poppio. He has so many motorcycles and just stuff. I lost it. That he managed to lose a motorcycle.
How is that possible?
Well, there's a couple things.
You lost a motorcycle. How do you misplace a motorcycle? What if it got stolen? Okay, more than likely got stolen. On the topic of stealing, we have 75 security cameras plastered around this compound and the other ones that we're gonna get to in the videos.

Every single square inch of this property is covered.
I don't even wanna know how much we spent on security cameras. Ken does not cheap out on security cameras.
Well, we had a couple of incidents that made us up the security.
It is nice, because we use them for videos a lot of times too, because they are so crystal clear. But moving on over into this, so when we built the shop out this was part of the addition that we did. We have a lot of stuff and we try and keep it as clean as possible and most of us are hoarders. And this is kind of one way to try and keep things a little bit more organized.
And also, when you show up to work, you never know when you might need a white tuxedo for something, right? So you, this is Ken's, he's got it on standby.
You gotta be prepared for every opportunity.
That's right. And then right over here we have Evan's bedroom, which currently needs a new door. Our trainer kicked it in because Evan was slacking, so he kicked the door in. Last you saw it, it was converted into a gym. We actually converted it back. He hasn't been back since. He's actually in Nashville right now. Decided no more bunk beds. He's a big kid now and I think he should not have bunk beds. So we took the top bunk away. I think he actually was happy that we moved it out and moved it back in because he did have a lot of junk that he admitted. He was like, I had a lot of clutter.
I needed to go through it anyway. So he was due for a good cleanse. Something that's really interesting about Evan is he doesn't believe in the stock market or bonds or cryptocurrency and your typical forms of investment. He believes in investing his money into things like Etnie shoes that are not gonna be produced again.
So they quit making Etnie shoes and Evan thinks that they're gonna go up in value. Which they actually are going up in value. Yeah dude, this room brings back some memories. I used to live in this black hole for two years and I got woken up many, many times
when I was sleeping in too late by water, ketchup, mustard, flour, whatever else you can think of. Dude, this room has taken a beating. It has. I think Evan's made a lot more memories in here
than I have, but like, pretty legendary little pine room.
Evan really only stays here two to three days a week, typically. He actually lives, he has a house like three hours away from us that he obviously goes, and then he has his girlfriend and his family there. He normally is at his house, but when he's out here filming, this is his room.
On top of collecting the Etnie shoes, Evan also collects skateboards,
which is oddly funny because he's the worst skateboarder
I know.
Evan's good at everything but skateboarding, and I'm sorry, Evan. He tries, he tries, but he's good at everything else.
He can hit the mini ram just fine,
Transcribe all your audio with Cockatoo
Get started freejust don't ask him to kick flip. We got the world's tallest pit bike right here, and then making our way into the main shop here.
When we first bought this place, there used to be a wall
that separated this bay from this bay, and this was kind of just cold storage over here. We tore the wall down by CJ driving a smart car through it and then once we had the entire bay opened up, it was just obviously a lot bigger space but it was pretty plain
and it had this crazy echo to it so we were like what could we do to utilize the space by one, making it look cooler, having it sound better on camera and also just like using more of the space to what we needed to do. We had this idea to put the shipping containers in there.
So back in 2018, we got to go to the legendary Ken Blocks shop, and he was actually the first guy to use these shipping containers and kind of like a way of using them for like stylistic purposes. And then after we got to go to that shop,
we were like, oh, if we ever have the space to do that, it'd be so cool to incorporate the shipping containers into one of our future shops. So, once we had the space, we got them in here, we painted them red, red's kind of our color, and not only do they look awesome from the outside,
but they serve as a great purpose of hiding our junk. I don't really show this often, you can see why.
Yeah, you can see why. So we got parts in the back,
we got different props that are Halloween costumes or we're dressing up for something. And then we got obviously all of our snow gear, all of our moto gear, an insane amount of helmets, shoes, boots, stuff that's pretty difficult to keep organized.
But if we put it in the shipping container, hide it away, and close the door,
well, it's a problem for another day, right? And then on the inside here, what's great about having the two shipping containers on each side, it kind of forced us to be more organized with the tools, right? So anybody that has a garage or a shop,
you know how easy it is to misplace tools, and this way, we know exactly where things are getting worked on and where tools need to be. These toolboxes are definitely the cheaper tools that we could afford at the time when we first got the shop, allocating our money towards other things
like pool tables, right? So we got your classic, just craftsman tools, DeWalt tools over here. They serve their purpose, they do a great job, and then we spent a little bit more money on our new shop that we'll get to later in the tour.
When you click on a Seaboys video and you see the red shipping containers with the hex lights up here, you know that you're watching a Seaboys video, which is pretty cool, because that's what we wanted to establish
when we were making this,
is just like a really recognizable setting in a scene. Nowadays, we don't do a lot of just builds in this space. We'll get to it later, but the farm shop is more set up for wrenching, fabricating. Just smaller little projects happening here now, so you really don't need the best of the best tools. Shit, we've made it work for a long time
with what we had over there, so.
Yeah, you don't always need the best. So one thing that does get worked on in here is the dirt bikes. So we're super close to the dirt bike track, it's just down the road over that way. So all the dirt bikes live in this shop right here and it's crazy, there's a lot of them. Starting with Mike's 500 two stroke build that we surprised him with here.

Get started freeYou got Dalton's bike, Mike's bike, my bike, bunch of Starks, and then the back row is a whole bunch of electric bikes. These Altus bikes are the absolute most fun that you can have on the new modern day e-bikes, and we're pretty obsessed with them,
so we have a lot of them.
And then we use this car storage lift basically as just making more space. So you could have a car up here, and then obviously a car down below, but we just did dirt bike. And then we use it as an elevator to get up there where we store more stuff.
Under here, we have a gym. So we've moved it all back out of Evan's room here and it doesn't get used a ton just because normally if we're going to the gym, we're gonna go to the actual gym. You can do a lot more there, But for a shop gym, this definitely gets the job done. And normally when we're posting a video, I won't have as much time to get to the gym.
I'll maybe rip a few sets in here. But yeah, it's nice to have. Evan's bike, of course.
Evan's bike, then.
Looking chintzy as ever.
And then Evan's treadmill.
Glad to see it's still kicking, man.
Yeah, right?
The gym. I think the funniest thing about this storage area up here is that it's just a designated area For the water cross sled the water car sled realistically could go into the barn But nope it's got to be up here on the mezzanine next to Ben's office. Other than that. There's just random stuff up there
very unorganized
Above here. I want to give a shout out to our very first sign this thing damn near tore us apart Shout out to Joe's garage. He built this thing. It's custom one-of-one and Extremely heavy basically Jake was talking with him and he had it all set up that he was gonna surprise with this sign we thought it was gonna cost us $1,500 and We were already like that's a lot of money and then it ended up costing $3,500 which is a really good deal for a custom sign like that but for us at the time we're like
please do about $3,500 for a sign and we were all pissed and then it ended up working out.
And then in the final bay right now it's just being used as car storage but this actually used to be where all the merchandise got shipped out of for the last four years. So we did kind of get to the point where we just outgrew it. We didn't have any more space left and you'll see later in the video where we have to have a merch operation now.
But yeah, now it's just strictly car storage and just kind of random odds and ends junk.
It is crazy that we used to fit it all in here and at one point it was just half of this. But yeah, now it's just kind of more premium storage for some of the cooler cars that maybe don't get driven as much. Obviously we got Evan's Lamborghini over here. That thing is so freaking sick.
Gotta keep the batteries on these things and Evan will just pull it in,
Transcribe all your audio with Cockatoo
Get started freenot put it on the trickle charger, and then the battery will die. Ken's Continental.
Got my baby, just got her back, and I'll fix it up.
So.
What happened to it? It's leaking oil right now.
It's leaking less oil, because they, so when Evan and Gavin decided they were gonna steal it at Micah's wedding, they blew one of the seals out of a power steering lines, it was just spraying oil everywhere, but got it fixed. It's leaking less oil than it was before, still leaking, but she's an old girl.
Ken's basically gonna just start renting this thing out to weddings. He's already got three of them planned for next year.
Yeah, I got two weddings this year, so hopefully
we can get it fully booked up.
That's how Ken's recouping his costs. Yeah, exactly. Evans don't that we surprised them with this thing doesn't get as much love as it should but it's so sick I always love bringing people back here because they always see this and they're like set it on yeah It's Evans Don checks out drive me written in the dust. We got my Evo back here Mike's BMW Just some miscellaneous stuff from videos alright, so we'll head upstairs So all this stuff up here is all offices and then the podcast studio
which is pretty cool because when you're up there you're looking down you can
kind of see everything going on. Before we head upstairs we did add a second bathroom. Which turned out pretty cool we've got the 55 gallon barrel sink and the keg urinal and obviously the throne. To be honest, the keg urinal and barrel sink were a better idea on paper because this thing like sprays water and urine everywhere.
It's not, yeah, I wouldn't say it's optimal.
No, it's definitely not the optimal setup, but it does look cool to have a keg in the bathroom. It's kind of a vibe in here.
Aesthetics were on point, functionality pretty bad. It's kind of like the wash station. So we got a pressure washer set up a work sink All of like the soaps and ceramics and all that and then there's a drain which is actually underneath Ryan's car so it's really nice for just washing your car, obviously, you've got really good lighting and Drying it off and all that. So when we had opened up this bay and it was a big blank canvas Basically, we wanted to put in the shipping containers, but then we also wanted to utilize the space
on top of the shipping containers. So that's when we kind of drew out the master plans
for the offices and then the podcast studio,
which we'll show you here.
First up is Ken's office. Ken went with a different style in his. He got wood walls and hardwood floors. Got a nice little palm tree and a little skull, but yeah, I don't want the carpet in mine because I hate carpet, but it's carpet. We'll move on into my office. Pretty standard setup in here.

you look over and go, yep, gotta keep working. That's why I'm working, I'm losing money on all the cars that I'm buying, that's why I'm here. Moving on down, so this used to be Mike's office, and then when we hired Dalton on, Mike moved over to the farm property, which is where a lot of the merch gets done, and Mike's the designer for the merch, so he does that,
and then Dalton working on the videos, makes more sense to have him at this shop. I set it up so it has 360 spatial audios when I'm editing. Basically sound effects,
I can change where they're playing from.
That is actually crazy, I did not know that.
It sounds like he's editing fricking Transformers in here when I'm next door.
Dude, Dalton hands down has the nicest office. He put the most time in.
The most time, like the amount of details and just like the bougie-ness and knickknacks that you put in. Look he's got lines in his freaking couch.
He's got literally lines on the couch. Like he's uh yeah he's definitely got the bougiest set up here. And then on the end over here we have the guest bedroom. So we pretty much have a revolving door of homies staying at the shop. And so we have two beds and then on the wall in the back our buddy Rich. He spends a lot of time in here so we wanted to honor him by having a mural
painted of him inside the room but it's kind of just set up like a hotel room I mean you got two beds you got the thing in the middle TV right there it's not a bad place to stay and clearly isn't because there seems to be someone staying here every every week we have someone new here and whether they're filming with us or just hanging out we always got a room for him which is nice. You can go get cigarettes on deck for Rich next time he comes. We are gonna have to put in some air conditioning. We've
been cheap on the guests up until this point. There's no heat in this room and there's no air conditioning so we're gonna have to ball out and pull the trigger on that. We've put it off for five years. Something cool though, is that you can kind of just overlook everything. I love how like, you walk out and you're up above and open. Very cool how this all turned out. Yeah, we got Ben's very first dirt bike
kind of on display here. Some Life Flight open gear, which is dropping soon. We're heading towards my office, the podcast studio, but honorable mention, this was our very first shifter cart. It was kind of our first video that ever got some traction. It was actually our third video we ever posted. And when I mean traction, it got like maybe a thousand views. You know, when you got seven subscribers and you get a hundred views, you're pumped.
And it just kind of started snowballing. It was like a thousand and then it was 2000, 10,000, 20,000. I think it maybe got like 100,000 views in the first year, which was huge for us. And I think it gave us a lot of motivation to just keep going. And I mean, ever since then, over nine years now,
we've been posting a video once a week, a podcast once a week for the last five. And before that, we used to do two videos a week on this main channel. Got our SeaboysTV one million subscriber plaque. This is my office right here. Nothing too crazy, it's not as cool as Dalton's. One cool thing I do have is a signed Rob Dyrdek skateboard.
I'm a big Rob Dyrdek fan. Right here is where I do my editing. So we actually have an editor, his name is Pat, and he goes through and edits the bulk of the main video. He spends the most time. Big shout out to Pat. He's an absolute grinder and he does a great job.
And then he sends the file to Ben and I and we go through and refine it some more. And then as far as the cinematics, Dalton makes all that. So we have a total of four editors working on these videos around the clock. Pat is editing five days a week
and then myself, Ben, and Dalton will all spend one day on Thursday going through it and refining even more. So we're trying over here, we're doing our best, but one video a week is kind of where we're at, we're capped out.
Last cool thing I got is cheap car challenge trophy. Shout out Ryan, my partner, and Spenny. He's not here right now but we won the cheap car challenge and we got these trophies and then over here this is where all the footage gets transferred so between these hard drives right here I think we have about 10 terabytes of Cboys TV footage. This is cute, it looks like a JC Penney's photo. I'm like just about to tell it and then I'm like ah Ben's got it.

So now it's just for looks.
And then this is like our gift wall on the back side here. So Axel Hodges gave us his jersey, signed that. Dr. David, this was more for Gavin, but Gavin keep it up little buddy this sign right here semen established 2024 pretty much since we created Seaboys TV and back in the day. Everyone's always been saying Oh, what are you guys gonna do when you grow up? Are you gonna change your name to semen?
classic hilarious, right So we have a retirement fund created for the company for all the employees that we put money into, and we named it the C-Men account. So when we pull money from that in 35 years, whenever we're able to, it'll be called the C-Men investment account. And it's legit too. Like I get mail every month that says C-Men retirement fund and Alex is like, uh, here you go. But
behind me, we got to blur all this. This is our whiteboard that, I'm gonna step over here so we don't have to keep blurring. That is our whiteboard that has basically two months worth of videos planned out on it. So we sit down as a team in the podcast studio when we're not shooting a podcast.
We have Big Wrench, we have Gavin, Dalton, everyone, a part of the team comes and we brainstorm and then we figure out the logistics of how to make these videos happen. Some of these things that we're working on will take two months of planning in advance
and you're maybe filming throughout it and then at the same time, we're trying to post every week so you need to be able to figure out what you can do in the meantime to work that. So like, we'll be filming anywhere from three to four videos at a time throughout a week kind of hard to keep straight But we seem to manage to do it and then behind us is the podcast studio
So if you guys haven't listened to the podcast life wide open podcast with C boys TV, you can listen to literally anywhere It's on YouTube. We post one of those every week on Tuesday morning Ryan man's that I'll let him take it over
So this is the podcast studio setup. It's kind of hard to tell on the podcast studio cameras, but we've kind of got a low ceiling in here. It's kind of a cozy little room.
It's not tall people friendly. Let's just put it that way.
I actually forget that there's a low ceiling.
This is just fine for me.
This room, we weren't really sure
what to do with it originally, I think it was gonna become a movie theater. We were gonna make it into a movie theater. And then we're like, oh, let's try to do something more productive. What if we started a podcast? And then boom, three years later, a couple hundred thousand subscribers over there.
So pretty awesome, and I appreciate you guys.
And we got a diehard fan base on the Life Wide Open podcast.
It's crazy just to see how big it has gotten. and we love doing it, I have a lot of fun doing it. So if you haven't listened to a podcast, go check it out. We have some cool memorabilia actually. This is one of Ken Block's rally wheels. He ran this in a race, went to his shop, and they were actually able to give us four of them. So we have them scattered around the shop as decoration. Brought in the shipping container theme.
We got a red one over here, a blue one in that corner. And then lastly, making our way over into the corner of the shop, here's my office. So this is where I come to edit and this is pretty much all I do in here. So one day a week I'll spend in the office. Other than that I'll just be bouncing around in everyone else's offices. Right here is fake money. It looks real every time somebody comes in here they think I'm just flexing on them, but it's not. That's fake money. It looks real, every time somebody comes in here, they think I'm just flexing on them,

this is actually the very first T-shirt that we had screen printed. So back in like 2016, we used to screen print our own shirts and this is the very first one that we did. So.
A $2 shirt from Walmart.
Yup. Hanes, Comfort Soft, hung it up on the wall. It's just a reminder of how far we've come. Also, I have a whiteboard in my office. If you have a business and you don't use whiteboards, get them. Because it'll revolutionize the way that you think and it'll revolutionize the way that you organize your thoughts onto a piece of whiteboard like this
because it's so much different than just actually typing it into your phone or onto a computer. When you're actually writing it on the whiteboard, it's like that's half of the work is just taking an idea
and putting it on something physical.
So I think that's it for the main shop. Now we'll head outside and go check out the pit bike track.
What's up guys. A little break in the compound tour to tell you about one of my favorite sponsors of the channel, Upside. Upside is a free app that gets you cash back on things like groceries, gas, and dining. I seriously do not go to a gas station to fill my vehicles up unless I can get cash back on Upside.
How else do you think I'm gonna stay money Mike? We'll put some premium in! So once you've downloaded the Upside app, getting cash back could not be easier. You're gonna go ahead and check into the gas station that you're at, in this case, Cenex in Lake Park, Minnesota. You're gonna tell Upside which card you used to pay and the cash back will be on its way. Woo, 113 bucks to fill that up. You bet I'm happy that Upside's getting me cash back.
They've given over a billion dollars back to their users. And to find out how much you could earn, download the free Upside app, use our promo code CBOYS to get 25 cents off every gallon on your first tank of gas. That's promo code CBOYS to get 25 cents off every gallon on your first tank of gas.
Thank you so much Upside for sponsoring today's video. Now let's get back to the compound tour.
Before we get to the pit bike track, we actually just had these signs installed. Pretty proud of these. They're on every single property, every single entrance of every single property. And they are stout. Yeah, don't run a vehicle into this thing. Gavin put the post literally like five feet down.
If someone drifts the corner in the winter and hits this, you might total your car. Yeah, it's gonna end bad. We love you all, but it just got so ridiculous. There was people showing up two, three times a day and we'd be trying to film and they'd be like, hey
Can we get a tour and we'd be like, oh
We're kind of trying to make a video and we're on a pinch and we got you know Three million people think we already don't post enough. So this is our pit bike track This was our very first spot That we ever built our own track the shop that we're at right now main shop, the lot lines go out to these trees and then across. So we didn't have a ton of room to work with. So we built a dirt bike track with a little bit of the remaining space.
It's more of a pit bike track, but there's been many iterations of it. There's probably been what, four now?
Five?
I'd say so.

Get started freeAnd that's actually how we met Rich, our legendary track builder, shout out Rich. He ended up becoming our friend even though now he's too big for us and he's on HBO. I think my favorite memory of this track was right after we had first built it, one of our neighbors that lives over there came over to see like,
oh let me check out the new track. And this had been like right after we had got done meeting the neighbors and telling them that we're not big idiots, despite what everyone thinks. And Ryan proceeded to run into Mike directly in front of him.
Yeah, right in front of him.
And his kid.
Yeah.
Oh.
And like, I'm pretty sure Mike's like, oh, and Ryan gets mad and throws his helmet.
And the guys are just like. Splashes, splashes the mud. It's Mike in the eye then?
Yeah, that's right.
The craziest memory, honestly, that one kind of got passed over, but yeah.
I don't know if it was on camera. Thankfully we have buffed it out with the neighbors on that side, not over there. Yeah, this guy, as you guys saw last winter, we rode on his snow a little bit and he came over and freaked out at us.
We did go, I guess, technically over the property line. We rode on his snow. It was his drift. We will never do that again. He got mad. He called the cops. I mean, there's a video on it.
It was a whole ordeal, but. I feel like nowadays though, as far as like the neighbors go, it's pretty nice because everything's electric. I mean, half the bikes in there you saw are electric now, which makes it way quieter. You wouldn't even know that we're out here riding. I mean, and they got lights on them. So you could literally ride at like one in the morning.
We actually have had a lot less problems
with the neighbors as of lately. Ryan got ran over by his quad right there. We jumped a smart car into a pool right there.
Evan ran a golf cart into Ben's truck over there.
And when Ben grinded the smart car, that was sick. The original Rainbow Rail was living out here. Yeah, we were grinding shit. Did I grind the Smart?
No, I just jumped it.
No, you grinded it, bro.
You forgot it.
You jumped it the week before
and then you grinded it the week after. We've done a lot of stuff.
We've done so much stuff. We really have used the two acres that we have here to like the absolute max. If you're wondering what Evan does off camera, this is the track maintenance is kind of his job. No one gave it to him, but we're happy he does it.
He just hops in the skid steer and just starts like changing jumps, making them bigger. I think we're gonna move on to the big track. We'll hop in a truck just because it is far enough where we don't want to walk there but it's only really 200 yards that way. Alright up next we got our 40 acres that has our three tracks on it so if you go from a sky view here you see our pit bike track and then you see this
thin piece of land which is our neighbor who we thought we were cool with turns out we are not and then we have our 40 acres right here so honestly you can kind of see where he would be upset with us he has dirt bike tracks on both sides of his house and Unfortunately, they do not want to sell we would love to buy them out one day and have this whole piece of land But until then he's gonna be surrounded right here. We are standing on the
Rally cross track, which was actually the second track that we built But after we had gotten the 40 acres We first built the motocross track the fact that we were able to get 40 acres right next to the shop was Insanely lucky popped up on Zillow we jumped on it right away And then we got this for I think $200,000 which was a crazy buy a crazy way It was probably the best money that we've ever spent as far as what we got in return
We built the very first motocross track and when we built the first track we wanted it to be somewhat usable for dirt bikes cars Side-by-sides four-wheelers, so it's not the craziest jumps as you guys saw when Axel Hodges was out here He was making it look like a pit bike track. As far as everything that we use on it,
they're more than big enough.
Hold on, they're not the craziest jumps if you're Axel Hodges. If you're a normal person or even a above average rider, they're plenty big. Yeah, I mean, there's still like a 125 foot gap in the back. And then the second track beater cars out here
or school buses out here, WRXs, we have a track that we can actually hit jumps without completely blowing out the suspension. Ken found out what it was like going around the track in a school bus. So it really does work for everything.
And then the third addition to out here, the Enduro cross track that our boy Spenny built. Spenny's rehabilitating his arm right now, so the track has not gotten a whole lot of use, but again, we wanted to build a track that was going to be able to take any vehicle that we build out here,
and then you can take it through the rock section, you can take it over the logs, over the big cement pipes in the back. All the tracks that we have are pretty much just meant to test and see how much we can do with these vehicles that we build until they break, because they always break.
One thing about out here is it's got a little bit of everything. There is that patch of trees there as well. And we found out when we first got the land and we went exploring on it, that there's actually an old house on there. You can see the foundation, there's a bunch of garbage
and just little sheds and stuff. But yeah, we made some just trails through there. And then recently we added a pond to the moto track. So there's a well that pumps water into it so we can keep it full. We have plans as far as with the shipping container,
we wanna build that out, make like a zip line, possibly a diving board. And it's got a nude beach, yeah Ken's nude beach. Over here we have pretty much the rail of death. It has gotten hit one time by Micah on the razor. It totaled out the razor. Micah got his bell rung pretty hard.
Transcribe all your audio with Cockatoo
Get started freePretty much ever since then, everyone's been afraid to hit it. Rightfully so, it's pretty gnarly. So it sits there until somebody basically
has the balls to hit it again. It used to sit at six feet tall,
now it sits at about three feet tall and no one still wants to hit it. And then over here we also have our fake Lamborghini that is up on a pole about 25 feet up in the air that just replaced Ryan's Hummer pontoon that has been up on the pole for the last three years.
Initially we put this pole in because we wanted to play a prank on Ken. He, Ken had just gotten a new Bronco Raptor and we thought it'd be funny to get the crane to come out here and crane Ken's Bronco up onto this pole.
You know, as you do, as you do, as you do. And then after we had done that, Ken obviously wanted to take his Bronco down and we thought it would be funny to replace it with Ryan's Hummer that we converted into a pontoon. That's what we did. We put this Hummer pontoon up on this pole 25 feet up in the air and it pretty much became a Cormorant monument. All day,
every single time that I drive by, there would be somebody parked on our road just looking at what was going on right there. The issue with it, it was super confusing. If you didn't know what you were looking at, you couldn't quite put two and two together. We were like, ah, maybe we should replace it
with something that's a little less confusing, like a fake lifted Lamborghini. And so that's what we did.
Honestly, I think the Hummer looked better up there.
It looked a little more proportionate. Yeah, it did. It looks so small. It's small, yeah. We used to have to travel all over the state just to film these videos because of the lack of places that we could go and ride things. So when we got this 40 acres,
it completely changed the way that we were able to film these videos, and honestly,
it revolutionized our YouTube videos and just our business in general. It also made a lot more space for us to store our junk. Ebb's Chev is still parked over there. And of course Mike's water truck, that's not junk though.
Yeah, this is a humble abode is this track.
I think the last thing to touch on about this lot of land is the natural pond that is over there. It's just right on the edge of our property. It's great for just being able to test dirt bikes out there on the ice, or if you need to throw a jet ski in, or if you need to water skip something, or possibly you want to test the hovercraft. I don't know. It's been very handy,
so we don't have to go to an actual lake. Everyone loves the pond, except for Evan, falling through the ice blocks. That's really why that pond too is so useful. It's just the fact that you couldn't build and like cut blocks and build an ice course like we did last year on a public lake. Cause that'd be actually like pretty dang hazard.
Just inconsiderate, but on our private pond, you can do that. We're gonna head to the storage unit that we've never shown on camera,
but kind of just keeps a lot of the toys that are out of season.
Alright we are at one of our storage units. This is what we call the cold storage unit. We picked it up just after we acquired our 40 acre track. We didn't have honestly an extra inch for storage in our main shop because we had all of our off acre track. We didn't have, honestly, an extra inch for storage in our main shop because we had all of our off season toys. Basically everything that we owned was in that shop. So we bought this to store all of our off season toys.
Dude, I actually forget what's in here. Every time I walk in here, I just feel like a little kid. Like, get giddy, dude.

It's like a savings bank account. It's like you hide this stuff from yourself and then you're like, oh yeah, we do have that. Bro, it's so dope.
These are all brand new snowmobiles because we haven't had snow the last three winters. It is nice because we'll get to our barn that we use for storing a lot of stuff, but most of the stuff in there is kind of just borderline junk, but it's nice enough
that you want to put it inside. We try to keep the nice stuff here. So I mean, I don't know, yeah, I always forget we have it too. And sometimes I'll just stop over here and look around. If I'm feeling a little down, I'm like,
man, this is sick. Yeah, it straight up feels like a snowmobile dealership floor in here. These two race sleds have brand new motors in them because the last time we rode them, sand dunes, blew both of them up, so these are brand new too. I guess the only one that adds a little bit of mileage is Mike's mountain sled.
Oh, Ev's sled in the back. That thing has actually worked. I have a snowmobile in Montana right now, in a storage unit, just in case. Just in case, you never know when you might need a snowmobile in Montana.
If you're ever watching and you think about commenting, do more snowmobiling, please comment, but we would love to. But last year it literally did not snow. So unfortunately these things sat here, parked. It's just the unfortunate reality of living in Minnesota.
Saw the forecast for this winter though, and supposedly there should be some good snow coming.
Farmer's almanac is saying that.
I mean we'll be able to at least
ride these trail sl slides around here. Hopefully, fingers crossed, we do get some snow. Couple more trusty steeds, the Harleys.
This is a place where we definitely store all of our stuff that you don't want anyone to see, like Ken's patio furniture and stuff like that.
I'm taking this for my office.
Whose tree is that?
That's my tree.
You can have it.
Is this in the podcast for you?
It's all fair game. There's five of us and we own all these properties together. Well, let's just say some of the five are more hoarders than others. Have more things than others, right? I have no more stuff in here than anybody else.
Here, but with that being said, we all share these spaces. So it's not all distributed evenly between whose vehicles take up the most space, but it's all for the greater good.
Can I add to that?
What did I say earlier about we try to keep the nice stuff in here?
Yeah, you guys talking about my jet ski?
Yeah, what is the jet ski doing here? I was more so just talking why most of your stuff's not in here. We got some of CJ's junk in here too.
We got his old GTR exhaust.
His melted half.
You never know when you might need that.
His half melted bumper. Which actually that one, you might wanna hang on the wall someday.
You could get rid of that stuff if you guys want. Mike's got a roof for a Bronco One of these days we are gonna do a clear out sale. I don't know when it's coming, but it's gonna be big when we do. It's gonna be painful. Comment down below if you come to our auction.
Yeah, we need to stop buying storage units and start selling stuff. But you never know when you might need something. And it's worth more to us in content than it is money in the bank.
So that's why we don't sell it. I actually got a pretty funny story about this property that has to do with Ryan. So, this spring when he bought his Corvette drift car, he was hiding it from everyone, he put it here. Well, I guess he was testing it out and doing burnouts and drifts on the gravel into here.
Allegedly.
Allegedly. Well, the property owner that manages the sheds units here texted me and was like, tell your guys to quit doing burnouts and all this stuff.
High powered burnout.
Yeah, he was like pissed. And I go, none of my guys would ever do that. We have a drift track. You think we're gonna go over there and dick around in your parking lot? And I'm like sending laughing faces
and like talking shit back. And I just basically left that, well, why don't you get some cameras? I bet you'll find them. But it wasn't us. And then it turns out it was us.

God help anybody I catch.
Yeah, he was pissed.
To be fair, if you guys saw it, it looks like how we would doing burnouts on gravel. That's why I said you would never do that. If it was one of us, dude, if it was one of us,
Ryan would be on that guy's side and he'd be,
I know, they are so stupid, it hurts my brain to even think about it. But it's funny, I think the last thing I'll say is,
when I was sitting there texting this guy back, we were all together and Ryan was pretty quiet.
I remember saying, I was like, well, I don't know. It might've been me. I think I owned up to it right away. I was like, no, he's definitely talking about me.
I just didn't want to be like, it was me and my new Corvette. All right, well, track, to the storage unit, we bought in that order. So we just continue to save up money and invest it back into the company and then eventually building up a little bit more money being able to purchase another property and then eventually ending with the farm property that we're going to was our latest and biggest purchase and then all the buildings that are on that property
But it's crazy to think that it all started with renting this shop right here this shop really just gave us our footing and foundation for making the videos and Figuring out how to do this whole YouTube thing and we made it all work out of this 40 by 40 building right here. And when we got that building, that was an upgrade from what we had before that, coming from Ken's uncle's garage that we had a little corner space to use.
My parents loft above their garage into our first college house that we commandeered the living room and the kitchen and all these different areas of the house to grow the business, and then eventually
going into that shop. So that shop was like monumental for what we were doing. And so it's really crazy to look at what we have now
off of where it all started. That place was sick too, dude. That thing was set up so cool. It just was, we just outgrew it. All right, so we're pulling up on the farm compound now. So this is on about 30 acres of land.
We just had the driveways asphalted, as you guys saw a few videos ago. We're greeted by this beautiful sign right here. Having this driveway is so clutch. It's just so smooth. It feels like you're driving on a racetrack,
which I mean, it is kind of half a racetrack, half driveway. I think we'll start with the drift track right in front of us.
So like CJ said, we just had the asphalt for the driveway installed. But before we did that, we invested $250,000 into this drift track here. So it used to be just basically a field and a bunch of trees.
Our buddy Rich, who has built all of our other tracks, came in here, helped us take all the trees out, and then leveled this all out to make the drift track. But we didn't want to make just a normal drift track because there's only so much you can do with just sliding cars around to make it entertaining.
And making these YouTube videos, we're trying to make them as entertaining as possible. So we thought, how can we up the ante? And that's by making a drift track have trees surrounding it.
Transcribe all your audio with Cockatoo
Get started freeAnd how did that pay off? And man, did it ever up the ante.
Oh, oh, oh!
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
Are you okay?
I'm okay, I'm okay.
Are you okay?
I'm all right, I'm all right. Didn't go well, we found out what can happen when you do have trees on a drift track. Our Hoonicorn replica is currently being rebuilt right now, thankfully, but yeah, totaled the car out, messed me up pretty good, wasn't ideal. But the drift track is sick. Obviously the flat drift track right here,
more of a parking lot area for sliding around, and then behind me, we wanted to incorporate a drift bank into it somehow. So I've never seen anybody else do this, but we basically had them just asphalt up the hill and it kind of serves as just a giant bowl.
So it's kind of like a toilet bowl into the main drift area, but you can come and swing up the wall here. You could do a grind at the top of it. And yeah, it's just like an added element, just like the trees are to make the drift track
even more interesting.
One of those things that everybody says when they see it for the first time in person, they go, oh, this is really steep. It apparently doesn't look that steep on camera,
but it does feel pretty cool to slide up it.
It's got the loop that goes around the trees on that side, this way, so we wanted to have a figure eight to just add a couple corners in. So there's so many different angles of the drift track that you can make it look different when you're swinging it this way or swinging it that way. It's just another cool added element that we just built it into this field.
It's really beautiful out here at night actually because the sun sets this way, and if you stand at the top, you're just like, wow, this is so sick. We'll put a picture up of it. We were debating whether or not we wanted to asphalt this part of the driveway and just save the money
because that way over there just kind of goes out to the public road. So you don't really come in that way. But we decided to asphalt this entire strip to make it like our own personal drag strip. So it's about an eighth mile from all the way down there
to over that hill over there. Ryan has the current record of going 97 miles per hour. The goal is to stay at a hundred miles per hour. Yeah, we'll see which vehicle we have that can do that. But yeah, we have our own personal drag strip
along with the drift track.
"I'd definitely pay more for this as your audio transcription is miles ahead of the rest."
β Dave, Leeds, United Kingdom
Want to transcribe your own content?
Get started freeIt's gotta be the sketchiest eighth mile drag strip ever. Like it's not, yeah, it's driveway flat. It's not drag strip flat. And it also goes by our main shop.
It's not ideal, but yeah, we're working with the space that we got. All right, before we make our way into the building, the other cool thing about the property itself is, like CJ said, it's 30 acres. And we've been able to utilize pretty much
every single acre on this property, whether it's the drag strip, the drift track, and then the field over there, you think, oh, it's just an empty field, what can you do with that? Well, when you have a hundred people come out
and help mow the field, doing videos like that, we've been able to use the most of our land.
One thing we still have that's pretty open is all of the land up there. And then we use these trees a lot. These are really nice evergreens that the previous owner planted, but they mostly just get ran over by vehicles. We've lost like probably 20 trees
just from hitting them over the years. The two, what is it? We've been here for what, three years?
We got about another three or four before they get thick enough where they're actually gonna do a lot of biting back.
This is what we call the farm. And my favorite part about our naming process for all of our properties, we have the shop, we have the farm, we have the barn, we have the warehouse, we have the track, we have the drift track.
We keep it really simple around here. So this is the farm. This is our second shop where we kind of did everything that we didn't do at the main shop. But one thing that we did do that's the same is the shipping container. This time though, we decided to paint them blue so you can differentiate them on camera.
So after we had purchased the building, it was basically just a blank slate. It was all open. It was actually all white. The only thing that was standing in here was these three rooms right here.
We ended up taking one of the rooms out.
Some K truck demolition we did. Yeah, so we took one of the rooms out with the K trucks, which was insanely entertaining. And then we ended up re-tinning the entire inside of it from white to black, because we thought it would look cooler, which it does. We built the rest of the shop out from there.
At the original HQ, we kinda had to work with the space that we had, whereas this one was a lot more open.
So this is where most of the builds go down. In this work bay, we have a car lift, we have our BendPak three layer car lift. That's just kinda, that's just kinda for looks. This is how to do it. If you want to store multiple cars in your shop, this is how to do it.
And look cool doing it. We got our prized possession, the fake Lamborghini up there. Don't look too close. Obviously the boat car in between and then the Duramax drift truck.
It's awesome around here because what we did with this shop versus the main shop was set it up more so for wrenching and fabricating. As you can see, Gavin is working on something over here. What are you working on right now, Gavin?
It's not even worth mentioning.
It's not even worth mentioning? You're gonna do him like that.

Get started freeBig wrench working on the Harley quad reminds me of Hot Rod when he just hammered on it. What are you guys doing?
Oh, I was just working.
They heard us pop, quick.
Start banging on something. That's pretty much exactly what's going on
right now over here.
Most of the serious builds that go down, they happen in here just because it's just set up better to be welding, fabricating, obviously you got a heavy duty lift, and way better tools. Like the tools around here, way more organized than our first shop, just because the first shop, that's back when we would touch the tools more.
So some of them are lost, some of them are misplaced. Yeah, I mean, it's just dialed in here. Very, very nice. All Boxo tools, for those of you who are wondering. The wrenches take responsibility of all the tools and the organization here, and they do a great job.
The other cool thing is, like Boxo, a lot of companies came through to help us build this shop out. So, Leverag came through with all the racking system, which we got the triple pit bike on, a couple retro dirt bikes, that one's from 86, that one's from 89, a cooler cart, and then the world's fastest lawnmower
that's got a 450 quad motor in it. So it's kind of cool to put the different builds on display being that they all get built in this shop. And then in this shipping container, just like the shipping containers over at the main shop, we use it to keep things organized.
So the lead racks come through for that. We got a bunch of different parts. We got RC cars, oil, light bars from Baja Designs. Honestly, I don't even know half the stuff we have.
This is a crazy light bar. And, uh.
And, uh, I don't know.
It's a crazy light bar, but Big Wrench and Gavin know every single part that we have in the inventory to use for future builds. Over here, which has been a crazy addition to the shop to save time, is our friends over at Bolts and Nuts came through with every single different bolt and nut configuration
that you can imagine. And then when you run out of it, you just scan this little QR code and they send you whatever bolts and nuts that you ran out of and send it straight to your door. So this has been such a game changer
for just the overall success and timeliness of these builds because the boys are cranking them out over here. One thing I'll say about the farm shop versus the main shop is everything is so much more organized. And that's thanks to Big Wrench and Gavin. So it is nice because I'll be like,
hey, where's the portable air compressor? They'll be like, third cabinet from the left. And I'm like, oh, there it is.
And then they always follow it up with, make sure you put it back.
We still do keep the trend, though, with the shipping containers kind of just being, you know, just stuff.

Get started freeBut it's all very important stuff, obviously. As you can see, we have tires, we have totes, we have more tires, gas cans. And then over here, which has been one of the latest additions to the shop, a tire changing machine from BendPak, which has been so clutch in just saving time. Like the nuts and bolts, when we need it, we have to run to town, run back,
half the time we'd get the wrong thing and that eats up an hour. Whereas now, especially with the drift track, we're going through tires like crazy. And so, Gavin has got this thing dialed in. He can pull the wheels off whatever rig we're working on with this lift right here, put it on here,
swap the tires out, and be back on the track within 10, 15 minutes.
The one thing I will say that could be better at this shop is our sign. It burnt out not even a year into owning it, and we just haven't taken the time to pull it down. Cause it's a pain in the ass to honestly pull down
and then get fixed.
It's supposed to be an LED sign, so it does light up. And it does look really good when it is lit up, but yeah, like CJ said, it burnt out in like three months after we had put it up there. We wanted the feel of this shop to feel like you're watching a Seaboys TV video and you know exactly the setting of it, but we wanted, obviously, to change up the colors of it. We wanted to change up the brick.
But as far as the shipping container and location with the hex lights underneath, you know as soon as you click on a YouTube video and you see that setting, whether it's blue or red,
you're watching a Seaboys video. Yeah, we definitely put more money into this than we did the main shop when we were renovating it, just because we obviously had more.
Look how wide this stair set up is.
And just like the nicest carpet, which like I still feel bad every day I step on it. We got the YouTube play button here. Mike's that actually was surfed this summer. They surfed it. So if you're wondering, a million subscriber play button can be surfed right next to Mike's office.
Doesn't look too bad in here for a hoarder. This is my office. I moved over to the farm. Dalton actually took my old office. Loving it over here so I can work back-to-back with Justin. It's nice having a view of the wrenches making things happen down there. Sometimes distracting, very noisy, but other than that I love it here. You definitely made your office pretty simple Mike. I will say. This is cool. You got a lot of stuff you could damn near live in here. I haven't used this yet but like a subscriber sent this a Hoppo hot dog toaster where you put the Planet Dogs in. I gotta use this thing. So like Mike was saying he's next to Justin because this is kind of we call
this like the merch, merch hallway. Mike works on the merch whether he's designing it or getting it print ready Justin is our merchandise manager who will get to at the end of this hallway here but we also have this guest bedroom a little bunk bed action you know we love them just like the main shop we constantly have homies coming
over and it's like a revolving door at the main shop and here. So the more beds, the better. They're usually getting used.
Ooh, Gav put a couch in here.
So this is Gav from our wrenches you guys are familiar with.
This is his office.
It's actually looking pretty homey in here.
He's even got his boxing gloves.

Get started freeAwesome.
He's ready for round two with Jake, dude. He's ready for round two. But yeah, so this is Gavin's office. He sits in here, he'll use it to like order parts or whatever supplies that we need for builds. And then over here, this is Justin's office. So Justin is our merchandise manager. He basically helps with like product sourcing, product ordering, all the people in the warehouse,
he manages them, which we'll get to in a little bit. So for example, we do a lot of our products completely custom, and when you're doing that takes a lot of time It takes a lot of going back and forth and Justin is the guy in the company That's dealing with the manufacturers to make boots like this and so many different products possible It's more of a brand than just merch, right?
We've been able to do really cool products like, you know The boots the the cooler every kind of hat that you can imagine possible. We're working on cool custom gear, a bunch of different jackets, mega hats like this. The website has turned from just t-shirts and hats and stickers into a full-on brand with so many different things and it's because of adding people like Justin onto the team and it's gotten to the point where even every time I go on the website I'm amazed of like wow it's because of adding people like Justin onto the team. And it's gotten to the point where even every time I go on the website, I'm amazed of like,
wow, it's so cool that it's grown from, you know, us printing the t-shirts back in Ken's uncle's garage to just a full on brand that we're able to ship out to all around the world. And thanks to you guys supporting us and making it possible, we just continue to reinvest back into it and make it even cooler. Literally a dream come true you guys.
Like I mean it's the sickest thing to drop the coolest products and have people fired up about them just like we are. Life Wide Open is a lot more than a brand to us and to you guys it is as well. So we really appreciate that.
After this building we'll head down to the merch warehouse and you'll just see how much action is actually going on down there. And then before we go upstairs we'll show you a couple rooms that we have down here. This is kind of just like a mechanical room. The bathroom over here, MVP, you got to give a shout out to the bathroom. And then when you're sitting on the throne you look up and you got a little bit of inspiration here. And then a pretty common theme throughout the entire shop, you know, you just gotta keep everyone motivated.
So you got the yes, Ken do sign here. You got the no Ken do sign over here. Pretty much everywhere you look,
you're gonna see Ken's face.
Ken Matthews for mayor.
Ken Matthews for mayor.
Ken is the most famous C-boy in terms of his face. And just the most signs on the front. Oh my God god just everywhere I mean whether it's the merch box truck signs out in public hundreds of thousands of people walking around with Ken's face on t-shirts billboards around the area and Ken didn't ask for any of it. Ken didn't ask for any of it. He was living a normal life but he was our
friend. He just got turned into this. Yeah it wasn't by choice, and then this room over here is just another guest bedroom Spanish kind of commandeered he'd be in here right now, but he's currently in Canada getting his arm fixed So once Spanish feeling better. He'll be back here, and yeah, this is his room before we leave this building
We'll go upstairs and show you kind of the hangout area
All right, so heading upstairs something cool is Gavin actually built these stairs. So they're 3 1β8 inch steel, so they actually flex when you step. And they're a little bit springy, but that was done by design, so it's pretty cool. I've had some big guys over here,
like over 300 pounds, and they were like, are you sure this is good? I'm like, yeah, it's good, it's good. So we know it can hold a lot of weight, but it's cool, you basically walk up, you walk alongside the cars. We were able to actually make a better setup kitchen than the main shop, although we still only really eat
at the main shop. Jen always brings lunch over to the main shop just because that's where we mostly happen to be.
Look at this, more pillows.

Gotta rip the fridge check.
Oh wow, got a lot of energy and booze it looks like.
Those have been in there for over a year.
Corn dogs?
Yeah, they're disgusting.
This kitchen is nicer in every way than our kitchen at the main shop and it just never gets used.
He's ripping a bottle of Sauv Blanc at work, dude.
Twisted tea is one thing, but we got Sauv Blanc, dude.
Can you tell that Mike works here
because we got the industrial roller.
That's even the dog stand.
That's from his hot dog stand. When Mike shows up to work in the morning, he just wanders up, gets a cup of coffee, fires up the hot dog roller so it's good
for the rest of the day and then goes about his day. So we have one of these at the main shop as well, but it's kind of like a peep screen above the door that has access to the security camera. So you could swap which security camera you want on it, but we can see if somebody's pulling up like somebody right now is pulling up down the driveway so if you're in the back of the shop over
there and you are wondering who's here or if FedEx is out front you can just look up and being that there's no windows on this side of the shop you can still kind of have an idea of what's going on but this was Ken's addition to see if he needs to avoid whoever's coming up the driveway like a pissed-off husband's coming up the driveway You know Ken goes in the bathroom for the next hour
All right next spot we're gonna go to is the cold storage barn All right So there was two buildings on this farm property when we bought it. Actually three. One of them was a chicken coop.
Evan drove a truck through and we ended up having to tear it down. But it was the very first shop that we just came from and then this cold storage shop down here below. We call it the retirement home. It's not where vehicles go when they're dead.
It's where vehicles go when they're dead, it's where vehicles go when they're just tired.

This is actually one of my favorite places to bring people when we're showing them around the shop because there is so much stuff. Like everywhere else you're going, nice, nice, nice, but your eyes go wide in here because there's nine years of SeaboysTV history in this barn. We got all of our shifter carts lined up here, a pile of R6 frames, remnants of the screen print press
that we used to print our t-shirts on. This barn just like holds so many different memories and so much stuff.
My favorite part about this storage barn is that it's very similar to our videos. We keep the variety very large. And dude, the variety in here is insane. From that contraption to that contraption, to, I mean, we got the slingshot and the hot dog cart
and the John Deere back here, Ryan's XO car.
Dude, a lot of people come back here and they're just like, how do you keep track of all this stuff? And we're like, we don't.
With all the asphalt that we've laid, it would be great to have a non-dusty floor in here. But I feel like if we pave this in here, then it would make it too nice for some of this stuff. One of the most impressive things in here is our tire storage. We've got fricking standard Bronco rims here
for Broncos we don't even own anymore. Lamborghini studded tires for the ice. The SEMA truck track tires. We wouldn't want to rebuild these. A lot of tires, it's pretty nice. If you ever need tires for a rig,
we're almost guaranteed to have what you need back here.
Dude, we do have so much stuff in here that really could be auctioned off.
We might be forced into doing it because we're out of room. And like Ryan said, if we build another shop, we're gonna just hoard more stuff. And for the overall, it's probably not good. So we probably do need to cut ties with a lot of these things.
Every single vehicle in here has a story, has a video behind it. And we have 500 videos at this point. So you gotta assume that it's a lot of vehicles.
So if we decide that whatever was in the barn doesn't deserve a roof anymore, we have a junkyard behind the barn, which I think we've described as the junkyard.
They're just staging areas at this point.
We got a bunch of batteries here
that we gotta throw in the ocean.

We probably have all the oil from changing the oil in our vehicles from like 2018.
Same for batteries, I see.
Huge shit golf carts.
I hope more than a few. We got four back here?
Bro, this is crazy back here.
Why do we have so many golf carts?
This is insane. So obviously the three-wheeler Harley-Davidson cart. Ken's neighbor called him and was like, hey, I got this golf cart, do you guys want it? Of course. You called the right guys, of course. We don't ask questions of what shape it's in.
We should've on this one, this thing's a piece of shit. I'm sorry, Ken, but what are you?
It is bad, but now we have parts for the other one.
My favorite part about back here though, is Mike's storage shed that he got. He got a fabric building that keeps all of his stuff under cover.
That's your favorite part?
Yeah, I think that's funny.
Of green box?
I think you should set it up.
I would love to, I just am worried wherever I set it up, you guys are gonna go, why the did Mike set it up there?
So I just have it.
Set it up, I think it'll be funny. I'll set it up. So we got remnants of Mike's first skate park that he put in Ken's warehouse when he first built it and Ken freaked out and drug it all out.

This is one of the bigger square footages of video bit. Like I genuinely don't know what to do with this skate park. It's not worth getting rid of because who knows when you need to send another R6 into orbit.
Oh my God. getting rid of because who knows when you need to send another r6 into orbit
it is crazy though like we got all these crashed vehicles back here as well from obviously the mud mustang to the plow truck the hinder finder the kinder finder or the plow truck that ken drove into his house cyber truck ken Oh yeah, that just needs a new motor
and it'll be good to go.
It has a tree growing through it, darn near. All right, we got a couple more vehicles here. Oh, this one ran into the Ken, right?
Ran into Ken.
Oh, oh shit, ah!
Oh!
Wait, did I drive?
No, you were driving this.
Evan, I hit, Evan or Evan hit me, I don't remember how it went.
Oh!
Oh my gosh!
We got the Subaru WRX Rally car. This thing's actually pretty, it was nice, it was nice. It's honestly, it's probably too nice to be sitting back in the junkyard. This one would probably be a perfect candidate for sitting in the storage unit.
There's just not enough room.
It was in the storage unit for a while
and then it got kicked outside by other things.

Why is this still here?
Why do we still have this? Might still be good, might still be good. We have the courtesy of storing this on three wheels? We have the courtesy of storing it on three wheels? Why did it get put like that? This is Gavin's trike. Of course it's a trike. Why do we have these tires here?
What are these tires here for?
So like a normal mechanic shop, they have a place to drop their oil, they have a place to drop their batteries, and they have a place for their tires. We just don't.
There we go. I mean, those sleds are probably still good.
They were parked.
Transcribe all your audio with Cockatoo
Get started freeThey ran when parked. One of the first three mini trucks that we had. This thing's probably still good, honestly. Mini truck that we put the rollover bar on. And then right here, this is our Baja Ranger. That's a pretty big turd,
but we put American Forged wheels on it.
Like this is like a $12,000 wheel setup. Pretty sick. We gotta actually take these wheels off and put them somewhere nice. Like these things don't deserve to be sitting out here.
This video was slept on, this segment. This thing was great. It was great. It was great. I bet they still run, too. Yeah, you just have to start every single one of them individually, but yeah. And then over here, it's kind of just where wood and brush and then like old furniture has gotten thrown.
Normally like once a year, once it gets big enough, we start it on fire and we'll all stand around it and drink a beer and then the cops come. And then onto some of the most content producing vehicles that we have are school buses, which usually aren't even trying to make content with them. Like the last time that we tried to move them, Evan ended up pulling our friend Gavin through a fence.
He didn't pull the Gavin.
Yeah, that's right. Gavin was not in it. The short school bus,
the thing is super bent up from when Evan jumped it. Like I don't even know how it can get this bent.
Still chugging along like it's fine.
It's amazing.
These things are pretty indestructible, right? We taught our blind designer how to drive in one of them. He ended up plowing through a bunch of different cars. And then obviously he saw the other school bus go through our neighbor's fence. That thing ended up being fine.
He even hit a skid steer. The school buses, they're ready for another day. Right here we have our houseboat which is prepared for enduring the winter. After it goes through the winter, our plan is to put it on the pond on our dirt bike track. And I think Evan might honestly move into it. He'll have a house on a pond on a dirt bike track. It's like his dream. But yeah, this video was super fun to film. I mean, it turned out amazing. I do think we still need to take all the booze out of the walls though,
because Evan and Ken stocked it full of booze.
You gotta take those out.
You gotta take those out. If you wanna put them in, that's fine, but you gotta take them out. So when we got done filming videos, our vehicles are worth damn near nothing at the end of them. This is what we call an appreciating asset.
House prices are going up. We got ourselves a little nest egg right here, boys. This was the first time we ever filmed a video and the vehicle we used in the video was worth more than when we started. We've never done that before. It was a big moment. Roel, what are you doing? It's like 11 in the morning. It's noon. On to the latest
addition to the farm property that we actually just got finished building, the We need to put those up for camera.
First thing we got, we got a little break room and a kitchen back here.

I do love that we have such a good team now. We have over 22 employees and everyone is so dialed. Everyone knows what they're doing. And that's my favorite part about walking in here.
Everyone knows what they're doing. They're doing a thing that I don't even really know. Like this vending machine, I walk in, I go, oh, we got a vending machine now.
You know what my favorite part is? There's two bathrooms here, but Ken still comes over to the main shop, takes a shit and leaves and comes back. I think Ken was initially trying to claim this one. He had one of those like, beep, beep, beep, like locks on it.
But then we're like, Ken, you can't have your own bathroom.
I had an electronic lock on it for a little bit, but we just got too many people in here now. I just couldn't justify it.
That is what a leader Ken is. Don't use his bathroom. I don't know who buys these, but someone does, probably us. And they stay pretty stocked with energy drinks. Yo, check the pallet of Bubbler though. There's a lot of energy drinks here. First up, I think we should check out the customer service. So when you go up here, this is where customer service is.
He basically handles all of your guys' emails if you're wondering where your order is or if you need to switch sizes or you need to return something. He's up here dealing with all that. Yeah, like CJ was saying though, is we have a team of 25-ish people now that work for us. So it's definitely grown out of, you know,
where it started back in the old days. But I will say the main thing about all the guys that we have working for us and girl is they care and you know it just shows in everything that we do and that's why we invested so much back into building this warehouse and the expansion here is we wanted to keep it in-house and we wanted to have our touch on it and make sure that the quality of the merch that was going out was where we wanted it to make sure that the
orders were going out quick and the only way to do that is to build the systems ourself and invest back into the people that are able to do it. And that's what we did. And we got an awesome team that helps get the orders
out the door. We got rows and rows and rows of t-shirts and everything that's inventoried on our website and everything
gets shipped out of this building. It still blows my mind every time I come in here. Like, I really don't know what they're doing at this point. Team's so dialed, they can do it without our input at this point.
Like, look at them!
I don't know where they're going right now
or what they're doing, but I know they're doing a good job. All right, I'm gonna fulfill it. Eli, you know that I fulfilled this order. If it's messed up, blame me, not the rest of the guys. First thing, Supply Co hat. H21, last one actually. All right, we got the products. Now we'll go pack them.

We have actually done, or at least had a hand in, every single part of our business. So at one point, I was packaging the orders, so I know what it's like just running the tape gun.
We were printing the t-shirts, we were doing the customer service. Obviously Mike was doing the designs, and it's just cool to see it be evolved. It's grown from a box taper to a box taper. and the tape gun. We were printing the t-shirts, we were doing the customer service. Obviously Mike was doing the designs and it's just cool to see it being evolved.
Grown from us sitting in a basement taping these boxes to a full on box taping machine.
A box taping machine.
We built this building last year, we thought it was gonna be more than enough space for at least a couple years and we filled it up by Black Friday last year. Like it was nothing.
So the first one was 7,500 square feet. This is 13,000 square feet, the addition. So I don't know, you do the math, put it on the screen. That's how much square footage we have for our warehouse.
We intentionally overbuilt this one, hoping that we would take a little longer to fill it up.
And as you guys have seen we've been shooting in the back half of it a little bit more which is fun It's nice to have that space especially this winter when it's cold ideally this will be filled up with merch
Hopefully not all our merch we want to start helping other youtubers with just their designs their fulfillment Most people don't have the system Built out like we do so we think we can help a lot of people with that and we've been doing that actually with our Friend Gavin shred 80 so his merchandise comes out of here.
Bro! Look at these!
Oh my God!
Three more!
Three more box papers?
That is awesome.
These are getting installed next week.
Hey, you weren't kidding dude.
I don't know why I'm so excited,
but it's just like the development is just so exciting. We obviously got our Corvettes from our last giveaway. They're waiting to go to their new homes. We're just waiting on the shipper to come pick them up and bring them to their house. Some golf carts from this year's Reckless Golfing. Got the G-Wagon, the TRX, Ryan's Hummer, and obviously the Star Car right next to it. This is like the nicer area.
So we're trying to store some of the nicer stuff in here, but you know, we gotta draw the line somewhere. And that's why some of that stuff's outside.
Like I said, they're all getting shifted to just different staging areas. The quality of staging area. Now you got the junkyard, cold storage. Now you got the back of the merch barn. And then over here, this is my wakeboard boat
I've had for the past three years now. I've never shown it on camera, we've never filmed with it at all, but it's a Supra SR400, black on the outside, red on the inside. You know, I love red. I wish that the whole thing was red, honestly.
Red guts and red exterior, but it's a great boat.
Final vehicle in here is the box truck. We use that every day to pick up stuff from our manufacturers and everything. It's the most critical thing in this merch operation. But tell us Ken, is it growing on you? It has grown on me.
You liking it?
Yeah. Good. Speaking of investing in the properties, I just got an invoice for the asphalt on the driveway.
Oh boy.
Any guesses?
I mean, I'll just guess what they quoted us at 150.
Ken?
Oh, it's gonna be higher.
169. And the total bill due on the asphalt is $186,000.
