Starting point is 00:00:00 all right we're back on the digital social hour i'm joined with my co-host ari gold and our guest today patrick adair what's up guys how's it going i'm doing really good what brings you into town today i'm filming a or i'm part of the film production of a car tv show banging gears it's gonna be somewhere on the internet okay at some point in time so wait what do you do how'd you get into this well um my background is i do jewelry i'm a ring maker i got into it in high school that's how i know sean um get the fuck out of here bro i cold emailed him after i'm a ring maker i got into it in high school that's how i know sean um get the fuck out of here bro i cold emailed him after i got a facebook ad for their ring company they make the sickest rings i've ever seen okay he made me a custom ring with meteorite in it and nobody wanted to show me any pictures of these i was supposed to bring it but i forgot i'll throw
Starting point is 00:01:01 up a photo on the video yeah i definitely want to see a point of reference. Yeah. But show them these. I mean. Yeah, so this is a, I'm doing a car shoot. So I've got some car related stuff on. So this is made from a Bugatti wheel. Check it out. Bugatti wheel.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Yeah. Okay, so this is like $14,000, right? What? $2,500? I think we charged for that. That's a lot. We bought Bugatti wheels. They cost $25, grand a piece yeah well what why yeah yeah there's like a whole like they're made of very strong materials it's a
Starting point is 00:01:31 forged alloy and they are insanely wide and i mean they're very overpriced too okay but yeah a hundred thousand dollars to how much is a bugatti on average um they sold the new i think for about a million and a half jesus that's gotta be insane one of the most expensive they lost money on every one they sold i believe why the r&d cost of building it was so absurdly high so they won't profit for years no but they've moved on to it was volkswagen group who did the whole like bugatti thing and that kind of like i think it's more for like land speed records and things like that yeah it makes you look cool it helps you develop some tech and good branding all that yeah cool so what made you get into cars so heavily well i mean i like cars a lot i've always really
Starting point is 00:02:13 like them they're just kind of like to me i'm into engineering i'm into like cool stuff stuff that's made out of cool material stuff that goes and does a function or is really fast so i've always liked cars i've always liked just like things making things making stuff with my hands so kind of the same reasons i like jewelry same reasons i got into that same thing i like about cars and it's all craftsmanship yeah you know fine craftsmanship can be noticed anywhere yeah it doesn't matter where it's at yeah what the you know when it comes to cars i feel like it's interesting because you get to see a progression in style over a period of time you know it's like my favorite era window of 50s 60s for me i think
Starting point is 00:02:51 is the the golden era of cars yeah and i i don't beautiful beautiful cars you know there's just certain things and especially with jewelry as well you can see similarities when jewelry progresses over time you know i'll start to see new uh I don't think it might be called steampunk creation or something where it's like, like gears and wires and all different types. I'm like, dude, the way that jewelry has progressed, like people will wind actual gems inside little wires. I'm like, these look like it would take years to make yawns yeah i mean that's what i'm into the little details yeah fine stuff and it's easy to do that on a ring it's hard to do that on a supercar so that's why i got into rings it was like this like i want to make really really cool stuff i can't go just like make a supercar you know there's i mean you could it
Starting point is 00:03:41 depends on how you how rich you are how much money you want to blow. I'm Christian Von Kolb. It could be done. Yeah, it could be done. Hey, dude, look at Elon. Fuck. Yeah, exactly. He's got a supercar? Do I?
Starting point is 00:03:53 Do you? Oh, no. No, no. See, look, the closest I got to a supercar was an M6, and I don't think I kept the car under 100 miles an hour at any point in time. Fast, fast cars. I don't think I kept the car under 100 miles an hour at any point in time. Fast, fast cars. And listen, the problem was, especially in Vegas, that every fucking street is just straight shot. That's what I have noticed firsthand.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Yeah. But I'm sure, see, and we'll get into your car in a minute, where you've experienced the same thing I experienced. Mine was lowered. And you don't fucking notice at 100 miles an hour when the road goes like this. And, you know, when you do that at 15, you're like, oh, it's a bump. At 100 miles, your shit lifts the fuck off. And either you lose your front end or you scrape your front end or you just shit your pants.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Oh, my God. Holy shit. Slam on the brakes. You get out. You do a full lap around the car. You're like, all right, tires. We're good. Front end, back end.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Oh, okay, fuck. My tailpipe is hanging out. All right, cool. Let's take this shit home. Wrap it up. All right, everybody. Good job today. So I got to say, when you pulled in, you pulled in in a Taco Bell wrapped Senna.
Starting point is 00:05:06 It's a 720S. 720S, okay. It's a Walmart brand 720S. It's got a body kit on it. Ah, so it had the Senna kit. So look, this is why I wanted to save the question because I saw the 720 badges, but I was... That car is wild. It's got a lot going on.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Tell me about this thing. Is it yours? Yes. Okay, and you wrapped it in a taco bell wrap yes are they paying you no why because i haven't talked to them i just thought it'd be funny why you like to live moss yes how often do we talk about not even that power hour of questions i know i've been saving this for good i'm sorry Okay. Let me give a backdrop for this. When he pulled up, we were smoking outside. I told everyone no questions.
Starting point is 00:05:51 They all looked at me crazy, and they got mad, and I said, I want to save this shit for the podcast because this is fucking gold. The car is stunning. It's sitting on fucking 4G autos. 18s, I'm assuming? They're Rohana three-piece wheels. Wow. So it looked like 4Gs yeah yeah my god the guys so it's not a senna it's not 4gs but the car still looks phenomenal all right it's got a
Starting point is 00:06:15 taco bell wrap purple with lime green accents live moss on the fucking tail okay yeah how how did this how did this happen well so i uh my background is in jewelry what i used to originally kind of grow my business and uh market it it's youtube so i pro or i'd film myself making the rings post the videos to my channel grew myself organically that way um naturally i grew the company earned a little bit of money i wanted to buy cars i've always really really been into them and i always really like youtube so i was like let me just start a little car youtube channel just kind of as a side hobby sort of a thing and uh that's what got me all into it i bought a couple at that time did you have did you have cars or you were just like i need to just go out and go buy some shit i was kind of you know i grew up without enough to afford
Starting point is 00:07:09 any kind of sort of car and i started this business and it kind of took off over the course of like two or three years and i was just busy you know like nose to the grindstone so i didn't have time to buy anything along the way i had a ford focus i eventually bought a ford raptor that was like my first nice car that i ever bought and right it was like a business write-off at the end of the year one year yeah and then i finally just after a couple more years was just like all right let's go straight to a supercar oh man i mean dude you're being you're being super humble let's be honest your youtube has 800 000 subscribers your jewelry business is doing millions a year. I mean, how are you able to scale that just making rings in your garage?
Starting point is 00:07:52 Well, I mean, let me just kind of walk you through the story. You know it probably better than hardly anyone else. I was there early. Yeah, yeah. You're one of the OGs. Yes, sir. But I started it when I was in high school. It was just kind of more of a hobby. I'd build and make the rings and sell them online for whatever people were willing to pay. But I started doing the videos. I've always
Starting point is 00:08:09 loved YouTube. I've known it's such like a cool, valuable resource. And like I grew up on it. I didn't have television or anything like that. Like I watched YouTube. So I wanted to do it. I got into it. I'd post videos showing the whole process of how I make them and just kind of started growing a following to the point where I was getting a lot of ring orders. I would make the rings and then I'd offer that design on my website. You could go check it out and buy it. So, uh, that was my original business model. I was still in, I was onto college at this point, but I over a summer got like really into it, got really, um, just kind of scaled it to the point where I was getting really busy with it so i was like i'm going to take a semester off see how this goes that's how it
Starting point is 00:08:48 starts you know and then it ends the rest is history you don't show up and it's yeah yeah so that was just me until uh i had moved out from my parents house in their basement was where my first shop was so i got myself a uh tiny little mother-in-law apartment above the garage and then i got the half of the garage underneath it and that's where i i've been to that garage right um or was that the other one you went to our it was our first like actual shop okay but it was like the small tiny one yeah that was crazy to see with my own eyes yeah yeah so from there it uh it was just me i brought in some other people how do you find craftsmen like this i'm so curious i mean a lot of the jewelry we make is really non-traditional
Starting point is 00:09:33 i don't have any jewelry making experience or education it's all just self-taught so my techniques are um just a little bit different a little more brutish and they're not like the fine ornate like you're not setting diamonds yeah yeah we're not i got you things like that so um i mean i make videos that are essentially tutorials on how to make the ring so we hire someone on who's got just kind of a passion for making stuff it's kind of how we start and starting with the basic stuff and they yeah i saw you did a ring for pewdiepie when he hit 100 million yeah well i didn't i i he didn't commission it or anything but that was a i should say i i brought my friend lewis you know yeah lewis well on as a business partner and we
Starting point is 00:10:16 started scaling it hiring employees doing all of that and the youtube channel was just my focus for a long time so the pewdiepie thing um he was hitting 100 million subscribers and if you guys like remember like there's a sensation throughout the whole internet when pewdiepie was about to hit it like everyone and their dad was just posting about like let's get him to 100 million so um i was like we could do a rink and get a lot of buzz about it and i know that uh pewdiepie had a youtube segment that he would post like weekly at this point where he'd just go on his reddit and just kind of look at what was popular there so it's like i could make this ring post it to youtube and then post it to
Starting point is 00:10:57 reddit people will love it on reddit it'll get upvoted there and then pewdiepie will see it and it if we're lucky maybe it'll make it into one of his videos and that's exactly what happened that's awesome did you get to send it to him too no never like reached out to him it'd just be so hard yeah i don't even know where that man lives yeah and i think he stays quite private very he's not like super into the like yeah yeah that makes sense what uh what have been your favorite rings to make i'm really into just going crazy with like weird different materials your ring was i made you a ring in a video and that was the first time i had made something exactly like that where it was just like really just like no budget on the materials um just trying to make something like classy and a little more
Starting point is 00:11:43 uh what just like something you could wear every day yeah i'm dying to see what this thing looks like every time i wear it i get compliments it's i gotta know it's what i ended up patterning my wedding ring off of so it's wow so you made your own wedding ring yeah well my wife made it with me oh that's so yeah that's the one ring unique what a unique thing to share yeah made her come into the shop and put her to work and say make me my ring what's on the ring um meteorite so that's yeah yeah meteorite in the middle and then rose gold accents carbon fiber on the edges sick rose gold we'll make you one all right yeah we'll have to get you something sick i'd love one maybe a weed one or something. Yeah, 420. Get some weed in there. Is that even possible? Yeah, just throw some emeralds in it.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Yeah. Okay. I like emeralds. I like emeralds. Go green. Yeah. I'm wearing blue, but I fuck with the green, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:35 So that's what my channel is, you know, just trying something crazy with jewelry, you know, taking emeralds, cast them in resin, make it into a ring. I got to go on your channel. I feel kind of bad now that i haven't seen any of your videos i really don't spend that much time on youtube yeah yeah i do you big into youtube yeah i do are you yeah oh yeah i mean still to this day it's just like my only yeah i watch youtube more than tv netflix everything else pretty much because you learn a lot off youtube honestly yeah youtube's like really dense i just used to get i just remember when i was heavy on youtube i'd go on like rabbit holes for like eight hours i'm like
Starting point is 00:13:10 oh you were going what's happening like where am i you were watching like conspiracy theories oh dude i would come oh i would go into the like is is the megalodon still alive oh you know like oh man and then it would just be like some would be like good videos and some would just be like like a fucking copy and paste like the shittiest edits are like oh my god people are fucked but yeah that's my you know that's your youtube experience that's my i listen i love youtube i love anytime i need diy shit around the house yeah how do i do this how do i youtube youtube will save i feel like youtube can save fucking millions that's how i've learned like everything i know you know like good stuff yeah
Starting point is 00:13:51 it's more valuable than college in my opinion yeah now i feel like tiktok is like the diy spot if you need shit done like everybody's going to tiktok i'm i still haven't jumped searching it's not good though that's what you just got down if you want to know how to like do this on your water heater like you can't just search for that on tiktok you have to hashtag it oh really like i don't know how it works again i've not played on tiktok i will say for finding new restaurants i like tiktok and instagram better than google and do you follow like an account yeah specific big accounts it's like a las vegas restaurant yeah there's a guy named las vegas phil there's vegas starfish there's there's a couple yeah what's that guy keith keith lee's another big one so yeah i'm just kidding yeah i'm just mad because i mean it has
Starting point is 00:14:35 this little uh snack daddy's another one i was i'm retired now retired from the tiktok game no i wasn't on the tiktok game i did oh i i did we did a cooking show for a little bit during covid because nothing to fucking do i was bored and um i had this kind of parody that everybody knows me for called snack daddy so you know we're like all right let's let's have some fun with it we just would go out and buy like wagyu and stuff and have it ordered in okay just cook crazy shit and just make fun you have like uh cooking experience no so is that like kind of i have zero i have zero culinary experience however i've been cooking my whole life yeah so it's not it's not like i went to like yeah okay but i'm i'm I've been told by friends and people that I am an exceptional chef. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:27 I love food. I have a passion for food. So it's like a very serious, like you're. Oh, it's not. By all means, is the show not serious. I'm like smoking weed and like, no, no, no, no. Welcome back to. So I have a professional chef.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Shout out Chef Green. He owns a couple restaurants and created some of the the best restaurants out here in in vegas um and he's my my my partner we're literally that but it's more like back and forth banter because he's traditional yeah yeah you have to i'm like i'm not i'm not doing wrong yeah i fuck with and everybody loves it yeah it's just like him and i are such good friends and we just play off each other so much but in the videos it just looks like we just hate each other like we we just can't like bro what are you doing like you're sprinkling too much shit i'm like
Starting point is 00:16:16 you know like cooking's hard man cooking is listen cooking involves um patience. And I'll tell you, the number one thing that I learned from my grandmother, God rest her soul, the first thing I learned to cook was eggs. And what she told me was, when you take time with eggs, the eggs will taste better. And I never understood that because growing up, I used to always be in a rush and just you know cook some fucking eggs and whipping now i'll sit i'll cook on low i'll let the eggs slowly cook okay i'll put milk i'll fluff them season put the cheese on at the end let a nice glaze go over flip nice glaze nice glaze on the other side. They come out like a golden brown little fucking delicious. Oh, God. That sounds good, man.
Starting point is 00:17:10 You got to. I'm telling you guys. You're getting us hungry over here. There's just certain things that you pick up along the way when you're cooking. And to this day, my favorite thing to cook are eggs. Just because I can cook it so many different ways scrambled sunny side up you can do omelets you can do you can do anything like eggs you can literally cook into fucking anything so it's awesome that and ramen because i lived off ramen being broke so
Starting point is 00:17:38 shout out to ramen i'd love to get a sponsorship from those guys noodles yeah maruchan those were the days man yeah i mean dude we all we all grew up on ramen so but we'll segue back to i want to go back into the uh the ring business and and what you're doing now so what i want to know what you've seen in the past five years as far as growth and expansion and you know obviously, obviously having to, you know, learn with the trends and, and, and, and, you know, focus on how that's going to make more money in the future. What are you doing to kind of stay ahead of the curve right now? Yeah. So we, um, we kind of don't have any competitors currently. You know, we make these weird different rings, stuff that will glow in the dark cool meteorite rings uh there's a there's plenty of uh like smaller like diy shop
Starting point is 00:18:32 creators that'll that you could commission one of these things from but none of like the big players like shanko like they just want to sell made in china rear very mass-produced stuff that they can get for you know sub 10 price point and sell for you know three to five hundred dollars that's kind of like jesus massive the metal ring industry is just terrible so i'd be so mad if i knew i was spending five hundred dollars on a ten dollar ring yeah they'll charge you 500 bucks for a plain titanium band it's not as bad these days but um it it was bad and i've uh i've made an effect on the jewelry industry like you can you know you can see like meteorite is really prevalent these days um a lot of like damascus steels uh titanium damascus alloys like those are starting to be a
Starting point is 00:19:18 thing whereas when um i first got into them they were very kind of niche things i wasn't the first to do really hardly anything that i do um but i've kind of made it a little more popular on the mainstream as far as mainstream jewelry goes yeah but um yeah um we got so like we've kind of had our own little uh lane to stick in you know not a whole lot of competition um and it's been i guess nice but we know it's not something that's going to last forever and very quickly all of these brands are catching on all these chinese manufacturers are starting to say like hey why are they selling these what are they doing that we can't and the thing is is we're not taking like three dollar four dollar five dollar six dollar rings we're making stuff by hand that actually takes like real effort that you can't just do on a CNC machine as fast as you want.
Starting point is 00:20:12 And that's why we're able to be unique. And that's why we're able to charge a premium. There's no alternative to making something like that. That's what it is. You know, if it's a meteorite ring, it's a solid chunk of meteorite and you can't just throw that in a cnc later yeah what's your average order value actually um i think about 350 dollars okay that's that's pretty high so it's a lot higher than i guess typically people i meet in the e-commerce world 100 yeah i remember jerseys when i was selling them where my aov was like 50
Starting point is 00:20:41 60 bucks okay yeah yeah so that's kind of like our unique catch is like where this, uh, big higher average order stuff, but it has been tough because we are a little bit niche and, uh, not everyone has $400 to spend on a ring. So that's, what's tricky. And that's like a lot of what our key to success was is our organic reach you know you can't just start doing facebook ads like hey buy this 500 ring you're not going to find a market you're going to burn through so much cash before you figure it out what you need to be marketing towards so that is that was kind of like our big blessing in the beginning is not only would we get free advertising from youtube we get paid from youtube you get the views we get paycheck and we get customers it was fantastic um but youtube's very like fickle ups and downs and
Starting point is 00:21:31 they change the algorithm all the time and it's a grind too and it's not something you want to have to just stay on 24 7 365 so we've always tried to branch out and just kind of have as many options and many channels as possible. So we've gotten heavy into Facebook ads. And that's Louis, my business partner. That has been his forte, the big, you know, like traditional marketing side of things. And when we first got into it, we had no idea what any of it was. Neither of us had any sort of experience. He was in college on his way to become a doctor. got into it we had no idea what any of it was i neither of us had any sort of experience he was
Starting point is 00:22:05 in college on his way to become a doctor he's a brilliant brilliant person and uh uh was dropped out he said you know what pulled the patricks i'll take a couple semesters off too um i brought him in on the business and uh we started doing marketing because we knew that was something that a good business would do. But it was tough. We just started from square one and we just learned day by day, dollar by dollar. And slowly we're able to get that to become an actual profit producing avenue. And we've just tried to scale it as aggressively as we can. I used to get your Facebook ad every day for like a year straight.
Starting point is 00:22:44 You guys were crushing it on facebook we go we get really uh i mean i i don't handle all of that side of the business but i you know we go very aggressive on it that's yeah that's that's big that's incredible so do you do the facebook ads in-house or did you outsource um honestly right now i can't tell you what we're doing originally we started working with a agency and we you know they i don't know agent all agencies are relatively the same they'd work with us they say hey could you give us uh you know make this product we want this sort of media so we we like that and we learned a lot from them and we just learned and growed um but then i think we started working with an ex-employee of the company who was a manager of our account for a long time he started his own thing and it was a lot uh more
Starting point is 00:23:32 cost effective to work with him yeah some of those agencies charge an arm and a leg yeah yeah so it was a fat tax and we knew that the whole long way you know but uh yeah eventually we were able to keep it in the family yeah sir how do uh, how do you like living in Utah? Cause when I went to visit you guys five years ago, I didn't even know what a Mormon person was. Yeah. So when I went there, it was a huge culture shock to me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:55 I was like, yeah, it's a different place. Um, it's just kind of its own, you know, little bubble up there. And I mean, I grew up up there i know nothing else and so to me it's just kind of normal but it's uh it's an interesting place a ton of entrepreneurship really you know it's uh if you look up stats on it i don't know how you would but like byu puts out so many of these different like entrepreneurial type people and youtubers interesting so many youtubers are from which youtubers come there um man uh grant thompson king of random he was okay he was huge back in the day um uh jerry rig everything i don't know i'm trying to draw post malone right post malone he lives
Starting point is 00:24:37 there now yeah yeah he's from awesome but he lives out there yeah why does he live out there it's fucking perfect yeah dude he has a mountain yeah he literally has a mountain to himself you know where he lives i do that's the mclaren do you know he has a mclaren owned that oh that was his i bought it from him oh so was this during hold on so i'll tell you funny story a little while ago and i'm sure this is fairly recent because a little while ago they were telling me that post just wanted to sell his cars. And so I had a conversation with his dad, Rich, and he's like, yeah, I'm in charge. I'm getting rid of everything.
Starting point is 00:25:14 And they were just, he just didn't want to own, he had like 150 cars he wanted to get rid of. I see. Wow. Yeah. I mean, I can kind of relate to that too. Like I've got a bunch of cars now and like that's kind of like a typical thing you know you get a bunch of cars and you're just like what do i need all these for yeah how many do you have last time money not nearly as many as him but 150
Starting point is 00:25:35 what like seven i think at this point it's a good amount yeah i feel like i only need two max yeah no what do you mean two max why would i need more this is a okay this is a great discussion to get into car you need a supercar you need a daily driver daily sporty you a daily well okay if you want to get into you want to get into the luxury of how many cars you can really have and enjoy you get the daily the daily sporty then you have a daily utility then you have an actual utility that you know and then you have to upgrade to a truck and off-road and then obviously a uh we're missing uh a convertible so that's true that's what six that's seven seven yeah everybody knows bare minimum everyone knows that cars yeah
Starting point is 00:26:19 that's not bare minimum i'm just saying in the perfect world, that'd be great. But for me, I think the ideal scenario. So the setup I have now is great. I have my pickup truck. It has 278,000 miles on it. That's a lot. Fuck you. 2001 Chevy Silverado, 2,500. And it runs perfect.
Starting point is 00:26:40 I don't know about that. I do because I've been driving it for 278,000 miles. So I'll tell you it runs perfect. Second in the lineup is my close to daily driver, which is my Jeep. You guys saw it outside. I love it. I can go anywhere, go over anything. Terps, park where you need to.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Perfect. It is perfect. And then when I have to go to like meetings and stuff i have my s class all right and i love it i think the s class is like the perfect see the s business that's like if you have a one car car collection that's the yeah it's just a little that's the one you know what's funny is that when i started making money uh obviously i i grabbed the jeep because that was like my dream car but right after it i think like maybe three months i was like gotta get an S-Class.
Starting point is 00:27:26 That was right up on the list. They're nice. I had a buddy that was selling it in California. And this was right like in the midst of COVID, right before all the prices went through the fucking roof. He was like, bro, give me like, you know, $35,000. I was like, oh, man, $35,000? Okay, cool. I'll meet you down in santa monica tomorrow pulled up with a little garbage bag of cash gave it to him the trunk he's like all right here's here's the deed i looked at the pink slip i'll never forget i just looked down i'm like
Starting point is 00:27:58 dude i just bought a fucking s-class it was the coolest thing ever and and i remember looking around like i felt like i was doing something legal almost you know and he's like all right here i'm selling this car to you sign here that was it what are they worth now uh 45 yeah that car market spike last year two years ago was crazy yeah incredible yeah really like it's never happened before anybody that's owned or owned or owning a porsche is the biggest winner of all yeah all porsche owners are oh my god dude my my my buddy has a 2008 turbo uh-huh uh s that he wanted to get rid of and i remember him saying uh oh dude i think i might take a deal on it at 65 and i just remember thinking
Starting point is 00:28:45 hold on to it right and i said look bro i i'll be real with you i think that's probably a little low you know yeah i might have a you know i think i had 75 000 miles on it but probably it's a turbo s that's now the car is no less than 120 what 120 why did they go up so much 120 minimum why that brand specifically though they uh they're just appreciating really well they have a very uh what they only make a few different car models okay they are very incremental with their changes of them so they're all just like very classy and each different model year is very like special in a certain way it has its own uniqueness to it yeah so they're like the richard millie of the car world no no i would not say that
Starting point is 00:29:32 uh if you're gonna put it into the brand i'd call them the rolex yeah i call them the rolex makes a million watches a year though um then i'd say automar peugeot okay well porsche makes a lot of cars uh well yeah because they're volvo now right or no porsche still owns volkswagen volkswagen excuse me yeah um i i know i think production numbers are down not up yeah and the only reason they would like compared to the only only reason they would be up is because you're adding in things like the suvs and the macan yeah yeah but i'm telling you that as far as sports models and like you know targa turbo s things like the suvs and the macan yeah yeah but i'm telling you that as far as sports models and like you know targa turbo s things like that i think those are scarce and more on on order sense
Starting point is 00:30:13 yes but i think they're more than like ferrari i don't even know though so that's a whole they are they are like a supercar that you could seriously daily drive and not have issues the mclaren is just too yeah like it breaks down every mclaren owner every mclaren owner i know complains about how it how it spends more time in the in the shop than it does the garage yeah i have heard that and i'm not even into cars but i've heard about yeah yeah especially hold on let's rank this real quick as far as daily driver uh supercars i'll unfortunately well no i'm not gonna say unfortunately i'm gonna i'm gonna do it like this i want to hear your three i'm gonna go porsche at one because i've had experience on that and it's it's great um i think i'd take
Starting point is 00:30:58 corvette at two yeah and as far as you know this is also a debate most people will have the corvette's not a supercar and that if it's got two doors and it's got over know this is also a debate most people will have the corvette's not a supercar and that it's got two doors and it's got over 500 horsepower it's a supercar especially c8 yeah there's no oh yeah there's no debate the c8s are wow uh three i'd have to throw in oh man it's tough you gotta do amg youG.

Starting point is 00:31:42 Great. And then number two, definitely a Huracan or an r8 wow wait wow no those are uh wait wait back up how did you throw the how'd you sneak in the r8 there they're the same so Volkswagen makes the r8 and the huracan they have the same engine they're pretty much the same car the r8's slightly cheaper and a little more practical a little roomier more bubbly shaped so there's like more cabin space and then the lambo is more extreme and aggressive but as far as that goes there wow that would occur by night throw me three yeah they're fantastic cars that's a tie for two what's three number three who this is where it's tricky that's why i see i stumbled this is very tricky i don't even
