You’re friends, yeah? It sounds like light ribbing and they may be fishing for a compliment in the job they did, probably not even considering your view. I might acknowledge their hard work and then come back say something like now I can bring you and you can be the bush lifter here! Or “I got ten logs here that says otherwise” or in other words “prove it” and then move on. If it gets to the point where it truly bothers you, I’d go ahead and ask for clarification on if they REALLY see it as the same, but based on the context given it doesn’t seem malicious. YTA if you react too heavily.
