Starting point is 00:00:00 For a limited time at McDonald's, enjoy the tasty breakfast trio. Your choice of chicken or sausage McMuffin or McGrittles with a hash brown and a small iced coffee for $5. Plus tax. Available until 11 a.m. at participating McDonald's restaurants. Price excludes flavored iced coffee and delivery. We got Ken on the table today, dude. I'm not going to be able to just kind of hide back there now, Ken. Not going to be behind just an absolute wall of equipment.
Starting point is 00:00:23 You have said that. You do feel like you're out. Yeah, I'm excited, dude. Get that Ben guy out of here. we just took a flight to Detroit lovely city god yeah we went actually past uh 8 mile where m&m grew up really
Starting point is 00:00:38 yeah it's like a road it's like driving across university it's like 8 mile road the craziest part was that we had 75 000 in cash in a backpack it's just me ryan and ben in a rental car that is a tough place to be a lot of money you know basically everywhere we walked i just kept it on me because i don't know if the car was going to get broken into or yeah you put the back back like forwards No, I just walked around normal just with a backpack. Luckily, we don't look like high rollers or anything.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Not that we are, but we didn't look like we'd have $75,000 in cash on us. I would not have left it in the car either. So anyways, yeah, that was interesting seeing Detroit City. Nice place, though. We had not one bad encounter, but we were told not to go certain, you know, you go down the wrong street. Basically, it's like the movies is how the locals that we were hanging with described it. Like, if you went down the wrong street, they'll do like the bird call and shit, and they'll hold you up
Starting point is 00:01:30 and there's been some horrible things that happened to people if they went down the wrong neighborhood you know, took a wrong turn. I got to imagine it's probably more if you're not supposed to be in that neighborhood. Yeah. Like I have a hard time believing
Starting point is 00:01:42 like granny and granny, Grammy and grandpa could take a wrong turn and they're like, let's get them. They're driving a 2011 Buick. Like let's hold them up, you know? Yeah, it's true. But still.
Starting point is 00:01:53 Apparently the cops don't even go to those neighborhoods. But it was interesting because we go past the Ford factory. was massive massive like i can't even describe how big it was and then there's all these abandoned houses like everywhere it was just really interesting it was it was such a strange city and then like we couldn't find food half the time it was it was just a lot of houses do you guys ever like look on zillow so how much those houses cost they're like nothing but yeah i looked on zillow and it was like just a couple thousand dollars to like a couple hundred dollars yeah yeah you so you buy the homes what people are doing out there is they buy like a whole neighborhood bulldoze it build new ones
Starting point is 00:02:31 people come it's just a repeating cycle these then the you know houses that are old they just get abandoned and another guy does it and just repeats like that yeah but uh yeah it was cool being in in motor city you know kind of reignited my love for cars you lost it huh no but you know you just kind of forget about it when you're in the winter and you're just driving a stock pick up around unlike myself, which I don't know if you guys saw, but Post Malone made a hat, and he had my truck on it. He had my truck. It's actually that famous of a build.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Might have to bring it to Seema. I love it because it's like, I look at it and go like, what does that mean? Just a stock ford raptor on it. And then it says Austin Post Malone. Well, the dude understands a good looking truck, and I'm not surprised. He's a car guy. But, yeah, I've been kind of itching to get the Jeter out. And it made me wonder, Mike, how's your Subaru going, man?
Starting point is 00:03:25 It's going good. Kind of forgot you even own that thing. Yeah, it basically is just like, if you guys have ever been to like a bonfire and it gets good, the more wood you put into it. That's how mine is, but with money. Right. Yeah, dude, you're going to have a hell of a fucking Subaru. No, dude, I actually, I have like a list of the parts I put on it.
Starting point is 00:03:42 But like, I crashed it, but there was some rust. I was like, yeah, let's fix the rust. Yeah, me, once you start, where do you stop? You know, blew out like two of the coil over. So I got like KWs. So if you guys know about that, like the best ones. And then I'm like having the fender flares like blended into the body. God,
Starting point is 00:04:00 Oh. Yeah, yeah. That's going to be nuts. How deep into this thing are you? Balls. So you bought this vehicle for $10,000, I remember. Which is a good deal. It was a fantastic deal.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Yeah. But then how much do you think you're having it now? You got to have four Subaru's. You could have bought the car four times over. Yeah. I got 16K into the STI swap among a few other carbon fiber parts. Which was what? Like two years ago?
Starting point is 00:04:21 Yeah. Okay. And then probably another, like, 20K into it now. So almost five times over. But it's going to be a hell of a Subaru. Yeah, yeah. It's a rare one, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:31 It's one of the most rare Subaru's, in my opinion. I'm so excited. Yeah, like new control arms, new control arms, new hubs, new headlights, new headlights. Yeah, repainted. I was going to ask if you repainted it. That's awesome. Carbon fiber, front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser, front splitter, new inner cooler. Jesus, the whole everything.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Everything. New timing belt, new timing belt cover, new, I want equal length exhaust, which, you know, kind of defeats the whole Subaru Rumble, but makes it sound more race cars. So, like, just, yeah. I got some help from some sponsors and making some money on Snapchat now. So, yeah, no kidding.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Spam and Snapchat. Yeah, no, it's, it's going to be, like, like I said, I'm going to give it to my kids. Yeah, it's like, now you're going to. You could list it for sale, 60 grand 2002 Subaru Doug rights yeah it probably as it sits once it's done is maybe worth 25 yeah it's like one of those guys be like over 50k invested and they got the poor thing listed for like 18 grand that's tough that's tough but I had it twisted I thought for some reason your neighbor
Starting point is 00:05:39 was doing it in his garage oh man and then like I was like oh that's good he found like a guy you know kind of just to just get her get her back on the road and then I started hearing about all the stuff doing to it? I'm like, oh, this is quite the neighborhood project. Yeah, yeah. But no, it's my neighbor, he works at a fab, uh, uh, restoration shop. This is him and like his boss, Corey, shout out Corey's customs. They're, uh, oh, so he is still working on. Yeah, like, but it is interesting. There's so many things that I probably could have got away with not doing and just doing myself. Like, I could put the inner cooler on myself. However, it's in the shop and it's like there's work on. They have the whole thing torn apart. Yeah. So it's like there is, is something worth
Starting point is 00:06:20 You know, there's so many parts I've always wanted on the car that, like, I got to, you know, take a random Wednesday night all night and put it on just to get the intercooler on. So. Just have the professionals to do. Honestly, I'm planning on putting some parts on the Evo. I just had them for years that I just have sitting in a box. Now that we got the same, it's fun to do. Yeah, it's fun putting it on when you're just doing it by yourself, though. You're not even like doing it for a video because you don't have like this pressure of like, like, you got everyone here. camera guy and you're like i feel like bad you know you want to go you can kind of just chill and do it especially when you got a two post lift that's a luxury yeah i think it's fun when you want to do it yeah like it like putting the lights in my truck when i want to do it it was really fun but then i kind of got sick of it and then it was like the worst thing ever i just like i don't go and well it sucks with yeah exactly or you don't have time but uh isn't it weird thinking so
Starting point is 00:07:14 going you know everything's kind of going electric when it comes to modifying the cars like you can't really buy parts you make them lighter it's like you just basically yeah like visually or like obviously uh with the chassis or suspension but like in terms of like increasing power you just reflash it basically yeah but it's all software you just yeah but that's not that exciting can you unlock your tesla to make it faster no like as far as i know like if you do anything to like the software or the parts like you're just you just brick it like it just becomes like nothing. Can they bring it back? I'd assume if you bring it to a Tesla person, they can probably fix it. But like, what are you going to do? Like, you have to swap out a computer. Elon's got that
Starting point is 00:07:56 shit on lock. Honestly, though, like, there's, like, I don't look at the Teslas and be like, I wish they made noise. Like, no offense to the Tesla owners, but they're not like the, like, I don't look at it and think like, that's a hot rod. And I think that there's something cool about the cyber truck being so odd. That's definitely the coolest Tesla. I had that rental Kia down in Utah. And it made noise. Like there's a speaker that made noise when you're driving it. And it was the most annoying thing. I'd like figure out of turn it off.
Starting point is 00:08:22 It's just so tough to look cool an electric car in my opinion. But Kent, I still am torn on that. I just find it very hard to believe that you just showed up and they go, hey, this is, the car we're giving you an electric Kia. You had to have chosen that. No, it said manager special could be gas or electric. And there was like no cars left. There's no chance that they just send someone.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Hey, you're getting an electric vehicle because that would be such. of pain for anyone, which it was running out of battery the whole time. I was looking online and Hertz just does that. And it's the shittiest thing. Imagine doing that to like a, my grandpa Ron. Yeah. He would, I mean, he would be able to do it, but he would be like, I got to learn a whole new thing here. But it kind of goes back. Where do I go? Like all this. It goes back to what you just said. Like, there's a lot of electric vehicles out there now. So like, you know, you know, before if, if they would have put them in a test. It sucked. And it was the, I complete, I sent an email to hurt so I was like this is the stupidest thing you can do like if you if I got made fun of publicly
Starting point is 00:09:20 if somebody wants an electric car they should specifically say I want an electric car but if you're going for like just the the cheapest manager special just give me what you give me that should not be like electric cars should not be on that can I see this email can it should be a freaking can I see this it was like a response form thing I don't know I'm just not buying it was like hey how was your rental give us your feedback that you were like I'm going to try a new elect EV out, you know. Yeah, you're going to trade a Tesla on a Kia. I just think it's saying a lot that he owns, has owned multiple Teslas and drove
Starting point is 00:09:52 an electric car and is now shitting on it. He's saying he does the key a version. Yeah. Dude, I've been saying, because like, I get a little flack from my electric comer. For sure. Probably deserve it. It's fine. I forget you even on that thing, dude.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Like, no offense. Like, I don't know if you do deserve it, but if you got to get it gets it. You got a park in the corner of the parking lot and kind of just hide away. It's just kind of this little brick sitting in the corner, dude. You know why for you forget? Seriously, because, yeah, it is. It's sitting in the corner. And when he takes off to drive the TRX home,
Starting point is 00:10:24 we know Ryan's going home or leaving. Yeah, because it's pretty loud. And when you leave in the Hummer, we don't know ever because you can't hear it. That's probably a big reason of it. The edit that Delta made was freaking sick. So whenever I get a bunch of flak on it, I always go like, oh, I'm not a save the planet electric guy. Just like it because of the power and it's cool.
Starting point is 00:10:44 And now I finally come to a conclusion. Stradman and I actually did that if it came with a supercharged V8 in it, it would be 10,000 times cool. That would be the coolest car ever. I would want one. If in the front it had a supercharged L.S. I've said it for years. I've always thought H2 Hummers were cool.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Like since I was a little kid, which I didn't understand how much they cost it back then. But I remember seeing one and sitting in the back of my mom's car going to school. And I was like, my first car is going to be a Hummer. And my mom was like, oh, yeah, I bet, you know, like, yeah, no, they were just badass. Well, you know, I always kind of wanted one. And then when you got yours, I was like, damn, this, uh, it's too late. There's, it's just too late. They don't work anymore.
Starting point is 00:11:27 There are still some absolute cherries out there, and they are asking the appropriate price for. They want like, 60 grand, yeah. Oh, wait. For like a, for like a 40,000 mile, Hummer H2, 60 grand. That's pretty crazy. That's like what it costs new. Which, that was a shit ton of money, dude, back then for a vehicle. but uh yeah i don't know dude inside of your raptor that'd be a pretty cool daily rig for you at h2
Starting point is 00:11:48 yeah a mint h2 would kind of sucked i mean it's just they're so there becomes a point where it's like the time is i drove moved on i drove time is moved on and it's hard going back in time if you say a mint h2 sucks i'd have to drive it right rinds was beat yeah mine was beat still had heated seats though the heat didn't work that well but i've been kind of going back and forth on like you know is it time to move on from the from the gtr but it's literally so perfect it's got everything i want to i want to take it out right now but the roads are there's one car i mean we've gone over this is one car that you belong in if it's not a gtr and that's an r8 i'll i'll say that bro like r8s are just too like they just rolled the last one off the assembly line it was yellows kind of ugly not a lot but yeah they
Starting point is 00:12:35 just roll no it's it's it's sick they just rolled the last one off the assembly line and it's just You can just feel like the sadness in the comment section. Really? Yeah, like, you know. I have quite the, I just feel like like when I envision a guy driving an R8, most of the time I feel like it's like a businessman and like a suit. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I don't know if I'm like if I fit in. Yeah, you're right. The GTR is like a punk version of an R8. I just like the fact that it's cheaper. It can it can beat up on the Lambo, the R8. Be faster than Ben. Yep. That's tough. And I think like the R8 is like the,
Starting point is 00:13:07 the Huracon is like the kind of the suited version and the R8 is. is like the tuner version. Really? Yeah. I feel the opposite. I feel like Hurricon is typically like the more punk. He does have a point in that people, they tune R8s. Like if you're like a tuner.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Yeah. No, it's the same exact as Ben's Lambo. Yeah. And then they, that's what's cool. You can put a, I follow a few companies that, you know, they're sheepy race. I can't remember the other one. But they just make, you take the intake manifold off and you just put the supercharger on and
Starting point is 00:13:34 flash it. And that is it. And you get like 250 extra horse. Supercharges are cool, but no, yeah. I feel like they're not. Turbo is just trumped them. Like I would never even consider a supercharger. The twin turbo is like triple the price of putting that one.
Starting point is 00:13:47 And also I've owned three supercharged cars and it just a turbo sounds better. Yeah. It does. Like I mean the supercharger works really well. It's fucking fast. But it just sounds better turbo. I mean then because a pro charger is still a version of a supercharger since it's out driven. But that's what's interesting too.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Like regular turbo still sounds way better to me than a pro charger. Like Jake's Mustang was cool That's like the only experience I've really had with ProCharger But it's it just sits there and idols Like kind of just loud And then when you go It's just a bunch of air versus turbos You get that whistle
Starting point is 00:14:22 Prochargers don't seem to be used very much anymore I see it like I feel like I see him a lot And I'm like I almost look you know See a Corvette Pro Charge Corvette A bunch of horsepower 900 something whatever And then I'm like it's Pro Charge It'd be sicker if it was turboed You see that guy
Starting point is 00:14:37 He was in that zero six vet and like the cops have them boxed in you guys just see that yeah i did and then they pushed them and then he drove off he escaped so apparently that guy's got an instagram account called the stolen zoh6 and he's been in i believe charlotte i can pull it up here they caught him yet was that the black one yeah that was a black one and he no plates on it like he eight yeah uh c7 the best his bio says video game player and all he posts is just videos of him outrunning the cops and like toying with the cops on his Instagram how do you get away with that
Starting point is 00:15:11 I can't imagine he's going to get away with it for long but still just just the fact that he's able to make multiple posts about it when you're breaking a law like that I just don't know there's just no way you can get away with it for that long and what's the one guy there's the one guy that's like in Europe that's super famous he's like named the ghost rider or something like he kind of was the first one I've seen this is like almost 10 years ago and he would just go out on his motorcycle
Starting point is 00:15:35 a little easier to do in a motorcycle and a lot easier probably and just yeah just run from that was his content wow when you're on a crotch rocket it's like yeah not even close especially for a cop car you just escape speaking i just got my r6 but uh speaking i won't be doing any of that that that that bike is so good looking isn't it cool that is a good find i had to pay extra for that actually the r6s are going up in value they are he he got a 2013 and no 2017 2017 oh my bad uh 4 13 13 grand which you is more than you could have bought like you know that a brand new r7 not as cool is like nine five yeah and then like a brand new cvr is like 13 12 12 5 but yeah no i i considered it but i was like
Starting point is 00:16:19 i'd rather just have an r6 i feel like we've got this thing going it's got to be an r6 and that's actually a pretty fair price they just have all gone up so i think uh yeah everyone that watches the channel is going to be like heck yeah dude you got an r6 i just got to keep evan off it i was laughing i leave and next thing i know it'll be on track flying through the air he's just what he's used to yeah he just do it like normal you guys see the the real of a dude he's like yeah selling an r6 and then he sees like this C boy's rolling up with yeah put that in here that's fun yeah that is funny okay so here going back to the stolen zero six guy here's the video of him supposedly getting caught what the fucks is cop doing so
Starting point is 00:16:57 they had them pin but then they push them and help them push out of the way yeah you think they would just I think this guy moved in the front I can't really see because he's not on the gas yet but this guy in the front here is pretty casual oh he does kind of push him out yeah he pushed him out he's just gone wow in front of the ross dressed for less and they could have just left him so yeah why didn't they just break the window he tried like kicking it he did that weak ass side kick yeah that was dumb this guy is a maniac this is obviously in california so he's he's got the gopro and everything the 360 gopro on the back it's always a sick shot I mean, in this one, dude, he's in the rain.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Is this thing, like, tuned up or what? Just a factory zero six. There's been some debates in the comments if it's stock or tuned, but it does shoot flames when he's on the gas. So you would think it'd be. Yeah, it's definitely, that's not stock. Yep, he's getting lit up. What's he going to do, pull over?
Starting point is 00:18:03 Probably not. Probably not. He's cut 89,000 likes on this. Yeah, I mean, he's kind of blowing up. So he stops. He's going to wait until he gets all the way to the door. Smart. More moves.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Listen to that thing, though. Yeah, he's got a cam. Oh, look. He's just got the street. Yep. See ya. And he's gone. Damn, in the rain.
Starting point is 00:18:27 That's actually pretty sketched, dude. But this guy's committed to that life. He's got to do it, whether it's rain or snow. a lot of them don't chase him I'm sure they're just like this guy's a hazard like if I start chasing him he's just going to hurt somebody it's not worth it aware of what he does at all they know that he's not going to quit they're going to catch him eventually I guess I can see why people do it but that and then where people are like weaving bobbing and weaving through
Starting point is 00:18:56 traffic it's something that I enjoy watching but I can't I can't get behind because it just seems so dangerous to everybody else you know right Yeah, I'm not a fan of a C-7-Z6. It's pop it up on the screen, picture of them. I used to think they were super cool. I'd rather have a C-6. I mean, I'm still with you. Like, I think the C-7-Z-6 is just the most gorgeous car.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Really? Like, almost ever. I don't know. I feel like I've just seen so many of them. I just, they're just kind of lame. It's just so common at this point. Even the C-8s. It's not special.
Starting point is 00:19:27 You see them everywhere, and it's just kind of like... But I do feel that way about a regular C-A. Yeah, you see them everywhere. But like a Z-0-6 C-C. Obviously, if it's a ZL1, dude, they're just, they're skyrocketing in price. Oh, yeah. Well, ZL1, obviously. My grandpa, not my grandpa, Ron.
Starting point is 00:19:46 That's when I fell in love with that car. Yeah, so he had an orange ZL1. Orange. It was a manual. It was, like, basically the last year they ever made manuals, it had this track pack on it. It was insane. He had owned so many corvettes. He got it at MSRP, and then it was immediately worth, like, pretty much double.
Starting point is 00:20:04 I think it was worth double And no, I think it was probably worth like 200 Anyways I don't know about at the time But now Yeah well anyways His house burnt down And he didn't have
Starting point is 00:20:15 He didn't have insurance on it Because it burnt down in the winter He just wasn't driving in He just taking insurance off Took us lost all that money It's just gone Like it honestly Even I'm sick about it
Starting point is 00:20:27 Because it's just like it was just gone And that was like one of many cars That he lost in that fire wasn't it? Yeah he lost one other really expensive car but it was very unfortunate and it's interesting how that happens because i remember like taking my cars off uh in the winter and insurance agent was like are you sure you know you can leave it on the lowest whatever and then if you don't know if your garage burns down i'm like that's not going to happen yeah take it off save me the fifty dollars a month nope i you got to put storage
Starting point is 00:20:56 insurance on it 100% but uh i think after that that was a pretty good eye opener for us yeah 100% No, I just like the C-6s is because they're just more core, I feel like. Yeah. There's something cool. It's like having like an old Subaru versus a new one. I think the new ones are lame because it's just like they're so user-friendly and it just doesn't seem like a race car. Whereas like before when you bought like, let's say a 2007 Subaru WXSTI. Hawkeye Blahy.
Starting point is 00:21:23 It's like you obviously are a car guy because you have to make sacrifices driving that car. You know, it's going to ride stiffer. It's going to be loud. And, you know, whereas the new ones are just like so luxury. It's kind of just, you know. They've put too much technology into it where it dates it immediately in five years. That too. They just don't look as cool either.
Starting point is 00:21:44 And you see them all over. It used to be hard to get them. I mean, we're always scrolling Facebook Marketplace. Just saw like a 2015 W.X for 10 grand. I'm like, that's what like the old ones are going for. Yeah. No one wants those ones. No one wants those ones.
Starting point is 00:21:59 But, yeah, I'll still. Dude, I still like the 22 plus the new ones. They came out. They still do have Honda Civic Tail Lights, but, like, now people are modding them. I think they're cool. I still think they're ugly. I'm a Subaru boy, so. Same.
Starting point is 00:22:13 I'm, that was like my first love for cars. I feel like every generation of Subaru, they just get uglier and uglier. And people just, like, trick themselves into thinking this is a cool looking car. But it's always like the last one was better looking. And then they come on with another one and the last one was better. To be fair, they've always been looked at it. ugly cars though like i remember reading things like articles on them and they'd always say like they they drive great but just can't really get used to the looks like most guys don't like the looks
Starting point is 00:22:41 i would just say they they can't do much worse than that oh eight they can't do much worse than that narrow body like it that's truly like no one wants those get those for a hell of a deal but you guys see they tore down the fantasy factory what what yeah yeah like the warehouse the warehouse and everything in it just just recently what they'd still been all intact no it wasn't it was not they still had everything in the fantasy factory still there yeah so even crazy what i found a youtube video on it i can get that if like the skate park and the offices weren't in there whatever in the phone pit i'm pretty sure i thought they took everything out because rob dyrdick was paying so much and they weren't filming for the show anymore so we obviously stopped and then but they then sorry i blacked out
Starting point is 00:23:26 it was already seven years ago that they tore it down oh oh oh oh Wait, I thought it was, I thought it was two years ago. The whole building? Oh my gosh, this is kind of weird. Wait, who took this video? California skate parks. Wait. So they just kind of have like a little time lapse of it being taken down.
Starting point is 00:23:43 But it's so crazy because in some of these shots, you can see and like remember the sets. Oh, yeah, totally. The skyline over there and stuff like that. Like, look at that. I'm glad they got to have a little fun, I guess, destroying it. That's what we would have done? Yeah, that is exactly what we would have done. Just throwing hands.
Starting point is 00:24:01 to the windows. Gosh, that office was the coolest. It was. But isn't that crazy that, like, if I was ever in the area, I'd probably pay $10 to tour that. And if I was a skateboarder, I'd probably pay, I'd pay $50 to skate it. Skate it. Yeah. I'm surprised they weren't able to make a something out of it.
Starting point is 00:24:21 But like after us building a shop and, you know, kind of like doing all the things where we're trying to mix a useful space and also having something that looks really cool and camera. This place is nuts. They had a fake tree house in it. Yeah, I know. When I look at that, it makes me like, how could we put a tree inside our shop? Yeah. You know, especially with like, so this week, we will be unveiling our farm, uh, which has been in the process for the last, what, six months being built. It's not completely done, but it's like 90, 90, 95 percent. And, uh, so we're going to, we're going to be like doing the reveal of it showing you guys we need to do that because we're going to be building
Starting point is 00:25:06 a new truck inside the following week so we're like we got to be that's why we're doing it was kind of like we're doing already but no that makes total sense wow a lot of exciting stuff yeah I mean we've been in there it looks so good you guys it looks amazing you guys are going to love it it's it's a little bit different than previous than this shop but it still ties all together and it's going to be great for for making new builds basically that's what we kind of tailored it for and there was a ton of stuff that we wish we could have done here that we got the opportunity to do there you know just just better lighting better tools better equipment more offices all that expansion it's just way nicer than honestly this this shop it is higher ceilings
Starting point is 00:25:45 I know a lot of like are you going to move your office over here and I was good no but I've been asked that so many times and I used to say oh no definitely not home base here here here now we're keeping this home base and then and we still are but Now, whenever I'm over there, I'm like, dang, this is nice. I know. All the new guys are getting, getting the better offices. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah, we already got two of them filled up.
Starting point is 00:26:09 It's been weird because, like, the farm has kind of come together behind the scenes. Like, when we redid this, we were, they were working over top of us, literally. Yeah. We're, like, trying to make the video happen. We were doing little updates along the way. Yeah. Which was cool, but this one were doing it all at once. We were also, think, too, I just now you spark my memory on that.
Starting point is 00:26:28 We were working around them as well. like that was a chaotic time we were like trying to edit while they're cutting stuff we're trying to build you know we're trying to work on stuff and they're like you know they're using the table saw and we're like hey we got to have you got to be quiet for 10 minutes so we can film this like portion like it was an interesting time so it's nice to have that separate but I'm so excited to have that part of our shop like it's just going to be I was over there it's so dialed there's just there's airlines ran everywhere all the less ventilation ventilation and stuff like that,
Starting point is 00:27:00 all the things that we learned with what we need in this shop are now put into place over there. And now that it's done, we've probably already outgrown it. Yeah. Honestly, though, like seeing the fantasy factory,
Starting point is 00:27:11 I would love to integrate more stuff, but honestly, he just had a way bigger facility. Yeah, it was a warehouse. Our shit is going to be full. Like, it's already full.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Yeah. You know? And it's got to be functional for doing these builds. The price of the build was, we could probably tell it. Couldn't we? A little podcast exclusive.
Starting point is 00:27:30 I think we've got what. It'll go, it'll go live. Yeah, it'll go live too. Yeah, it was a $400,000 remodel process.
Starting point is 00:27:38 It was insane. We all are surprised. It's just like Mike Subaru, dude, you start and you're like, wow, we're going to fix this wall. We might as well fix all the walls and before you know it.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Is that even the all in price? Yes, that's 100%. That's 100% of that's the remodel price. Yeah. So that's not including what we paid for the building. True. And the land.
Starting point is 00:27:59 but yeah yeah yeah but uh yeah the boys have been uh taking some not even pay cuts we just haven't been paid yeah for like three months we just haven't been paid for like three months but that's what that's yeah it's part of i mean we've done that so many times though in this process of operating this company yeah like i mean for the first few years we weren't getting paid at all yeah and uh because everything was you know the little bit of money we were making we were just put him back in and then we started getting paid just a tiny bit and then uh we had another situation happened where we basically had to basically invest and uh you know we had lawsuits and shit and we had no one was getting paid so i mean this isn't really anything new to us there's
Starting point is 00:28:41 been many times where we've done that but that's why i mean it's just comes with being a business owner 100% you got to you got to be willing to ride out some hard times like honestly it's it's not necessarily as luxurious or or uh There isn't a lot of luxury to owning and starting a business. No. Like you have to take a lot of hardships, I'd say with it, you know, to actually get it to a point where everyone then thinks it's a big luxury. 100%.
Starting point is 00:29:08 But that's why you got to save your money, spend it, you know, wisely. It's just all, it's all part of the planning and the journey. And we all look at that and we go, damn, yeah, I mean, it's tough. But, like, we're excited to have that space to use. We know it's going to help the company in the long run. Like, it's good. We've always been willing to invest. We got that double whammy, though, too, because this bill came right as the same time we had to pay for taxes.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Yeah, dude, taxes are dumb. I mean, it was just a real tough pill to swallow for us. It was a kick in the nuts, man. That was a kick in the nuts. It stresses me out, dude. Taxes have always been kind of dumb. But, you know, the more you make, the more you get taxed. And then now that we're kind of moving towards some of those brackets, it's just saddening.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Yeah, I thought. That's bummer. Damn taxes, dude. So I'm moving to Greece. Talked about it before. Moving to Greece. There's lots of places you can go to avoid taxes. Yeah, I'm just going because it's cheap to live there.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Okay. Like, I'm kind of trying to live my whole like Mamma Mia type dream, you know. I can see it with the bay in the background. I'll be a friend to a couple people with big gods. Honestly, you and Leandro would fit in really well out there. I could see you wearing like a striped like linen shirt. Yeah. Shirt.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Dude, and then like out there I think being fat is still cool. Like I'd get the big Greek belly. Hanging out, and I'm all tanned. I just waddle around. You drink as much beer as you want. Exactly. Yeah, maybe. Fuck it.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I'll get a chain. You would need a chain. I would love to see you in a chain. You would need a chain. I just, I could see you in a little gold chain, man. Really? It's like a four millimeter, like, you know, very small and just like a little gold one, like a rope chain.
Starting point is 00:30:43 I went shopping in the mall of America this week, and I just became so acutely where one of my deteriorating health and two of just how much little swagger I have. I just was like, damn, there's all these people in the mall, and they're buying all this cool stuff, and they're all looking cool. You got to get swag out, yeah. And then I look at me, and I'm just like, damn, like, because there's mirrors everywhere. You're just, like, constantly in a mirror,
Starting point is 00:31:06 and it's like me, and then this really cool looking dude. I think you're being too hard on yourself. Yeah, I mean, I, yeah. The amount of people that I actually think, like, have swagger is, like, pretty small. Yeah. There's not a lot. I don't have much, I don't have any swagger at all. In fact, you want to know how much it cost it to be swaggered like this?
Starting point is 00:31:23 See this chain? Oh, fuck. $50 bucks? Guess how much does chain cost it? $70. $45. It was $14. $14 and my girlfriend bought it for me.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Wow. Here's what you can't be. A chain that is that cheap and doesn't make your neck itchy and doesn't turn colors. I just wear it all the time. When I was a kid, I always wore like, it was like those like Shaka necklaces. It was like in style back then. I'd always get a new one.
Starting point is 00:31:50 I know it wouldn't be smart, but I thought about like just bringing it back. Yeah, one of those surf neckets. this is with the shark tooth well i was probably no shark tooth because then you're like look at me look at my shark tooth i went to the bohama i think we're just maybe we've lost a little bit of touch with style you know we're out of the scene we we kind of stick to ourselves we just do our own thing and now it's like we got uh this young man dalton who we hired on he does all of our photography and makes like the awesome edits of like the ram giveaway and he's a a young 18 year old man who's got a lot of swagger and style.
Starting point is 00:32:27 He's in touch. He was filling me, like, he helped us get the suits. Like, he picked out the suits and stuff for us when we went shopping because he was like, you got to do this and this. Like make us look, you know, baller. I mean, he was telling me about his chains. He's got, like, Cartier chains and shit that cost like $1,000. I'm like, dude, this thing was $14.
Starting point is 00:32:46 What the hell are you doing wearing a $1,000? Yeah, how much are we paying you? He had all this before us. Yeah, and I also think the chain is one thing, though, like, that's like, If you spend $1,400 on, like, any chain, like, you spend $1,400 bucks on chain. But I do agree, like, he's, I will, okay, so we'll, maybe he'll swag us out. We're gearing up for summer gear, so we're going to, you know, make some swim trunks, some shorts. And then Dalton's like, oh, you got to hit the 5.5 inch in scene.
Starting point is 00:33:12 And I, I just, it means really short. And I just got done. I'm sorry about that, I just got done relaying to people we were working with. And I was like, yeah, biggest thing is, like, guys. to shoot for that eight they can't be too short like our audience like and it's just funny and then he's like yeah they got to be 5.5 super short and i just bought a pair of 5.5s kind of took your advice i ain't got the legs for bro if ken was wearing those things his balls would be hang out both sides dude not even one side yeah yeah he looks it's crazy how shorts have gone up in uh shortness
Starting point is 00:33:49 like and i just remember like my mom would go and like to coals and get me a pair of shorts and I'd try them on if they were above. I can see my shins. I can see my shins. I can't wear these. I remember I bought a pair of shorts. It was when they were still like super long and there was like an eight inch in seeming. You guys roasted me for having and then a year later, everyone's having eight.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Kev was ahead of the style. Dude, there was just something about it. But about every, I still remember like getting after my mom like if she bought me a snapback hat. A snap back hat at one point because think, remember like Rob Dearduk big black times? I had a big black hat. It was just fitted. Fitted, fitted, fitted. If it had a snapback, it was not right. And then I'm like, what is this hood?
Starting point is 00:34:30 What is this sweatshirt without a hood? I ain't wearing that. Krooenck. Like, I was against Krooenks. Yeah, just stuff like that. Yeah, shorts that like showed your knees. I'm like, dude, these are not long enough. But it's funny, it always comes around.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Like I guarantee, like our dads wore short shorts, like in the 80s. That was short shorts. Now you get to now, they're back to being short. So just keep your shit and hang on to it. And then it'll be in style. Give another 10 years and we'll be back below the knee. To be fair, though, I don't think our looks have any impact on whether people watch our videos or not.
Starting point is 00:35:04 No, 100%. I don't do it. I just, you know, it's just like a thing. I just was like walking around. I was like, man, I look like such a squid. You know, Ryan, I think that's part of your, you know, why people love you. I think that's why people love you. We don't have fashion, but yeah, like, we're doing, we're doing just fine.
Starting point is 00:35:22 I don't remember the last time. I actually shopped for clothes or anything in a store. Everything I just buy is online. Well, that's because it takes extra work to do that. Well, I just never make it to a store, though. What do you say in there, Mike? I'm saying Ken, well, we've, Ken usually takes the easiest path to whatever he needs.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Ken, what's something you've recently simplified in your life? Ken's the master of finding the easiest way to get something done or not doing it. What's something you've recently simplified that used to be a challenge? It's a great question. I don't even know. It's all lights automated, man. Yeah, I mean, you got the automated shades. You've got your car drives itself.
Starting point is 00:36:04 The lights turn on when you drive into the house. Yeah, but I did that years ago. I mean, he's so automated. Motorized shades are nice. Oh, 100% dude. I want them. But I'm just saying, like, what's something that has now become even more automated in your life? I don't think I've changed a lot in the last
Starting point is 00:36:24 I don't yeah probably two years to be honest I don't think you have either in a good way like super consistent just like pretty streamlined you're so automated there's nothing left to automate what's like the hardest thing you've done recently can physically
Starting point is 00:36:37 I mean moving around boxes of merch there's so many boxes I mean that's it maybe uh rather than that bike that hasn't been there's an electric bike it's an electric assisted bike it was also 10 degrees outside with a like a 20 mile in our north wind and I was in nothing tight okay and I thought I think it was a good you know start we're gonna get you an actual like bicycle like a cycling road bike just like Lance Armstrong I could see you got the our riding to work yeah fun to do occasionally but not
Starting point is 00:37:08 regularly but like could be a little waste of money considering those him away bikes we got our electric and I would rather doing it because he wants to become the next Lance Armstrong didn't Lance Armstrong have a thing with his balls too maybe they got small because He had the opposite of what Ken at. Well, actually he had cancer, I'm pretty sure. Oh, never mind. Sorry. Yeah. So not good, but, uh, was it,
Starting point is 00:37:29 was it him that got, like, called out for doping or something? Yeah. Yeah. Ken starts doping so you can ride his bike to work. Would be insane. He's just trying to make that easier. He starts physically pedal biking, so he starts using steroids to assist him. He's like, how could I make this easier?
Starting point is 00:37:46 He starts using steroids. That would be pretty funny. Speaking of just. maybe maybe not being cool uh oh well i posted this this like carousel of pictures on instagram the other day and in like one of the pictures it's us in vegas me and gabin were like having fun walking and i'm drinking a bud light oh yeah and i was getting a kick out of that uh yeah i was getting like kind of ripped in the comments like it was like partially like some people were ripping me some people were defending it and then mike hops in starts ripping he's not even on
Starting point is 00:38:20 my side starts he hopped out oh i didn't rip on you but yeah he just said damn cj drinking a bud light didn't know you guys were like that and i said don't bring me into it's not cool he said not cool i said don't bring me into this because he said you guys and then it got a bunch of legs but i it is it is very interesting that you post 10 pictures and in one of those pictures it wasn't just you it's a blurry bottle on the back it wasn't the only yeah it was literally a blurry bottle like kind of like far away and people just are like i you know my my question is like where do you guys stand on this like this is i'll let you guys go first listen man i don't got to tell nobody my favorite right but i think i think people got to get over that it was like it was like
Starting point is 00:39:02 it was one can it wasn't a whole thing there i think i think like people should just kind of move on hold onto it forever like yeah i mean i wasn't drinking it during the time of that but then like you know we were in vegas and the ladies like what do you want and she just had a bud light i'll just take the bud light yeah it tastes great And I'd drink another one. I didn't like Bud Light to begin with. So my opinion did not change. So you're still not right.
Starting point is 00:39:26 I still don't like Bud Light. Oh, yeah, but that's taste related. I just don't like all taste. And then it also like, it kind of makes me feel weird. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:34 I, I, uh, I genuinely don't care. I just get such a kick out of it. Like I'm not like, yeah, I'm not going to make anyone boycott it. And I'm not even boycotting him.
Starting point is 00:39:42 I just think it's so funny. But you're, you're like, I think they move past it. Like they, I mean, what are you going to hold on to it for? They double it's been around forever, dude.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Like, they doubled down on sponsoring Shane Gillis and Post Malone. I love them. Yeah, exactly. And also they work with the UFC now. Like, in my opinion, Bud Light's cooler than ever. If they're working with the UFC, like they're the official sponsor, that's a huge deal. If Dana White can move past it, I can too. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:40:12 And, I mean, also, I got a lot bigger things to worry about than the type of beer I'm drinking. If it's cold and it's in front of you, go for it. Exactly. Yeah. And it's in a nice bottle. You got to move on. Yeah. I'm not agreeing with what they did, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Yeah. Did you guys see, speaking of the UFC, did you guys see the new Roadhouse movie? Yeah, I watched it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved it. It was filmed very interestingly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:35 I thought, like when I watched it, I was like, this is, it seemed like more of a lower budget. Yeah, it was kind of interesting, but it's like not low budget. It's not, but I'm sure they put money elsewhere, but yeah. Yeah. Like getting Connor McGregor and Post Malone in it.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Yeah. I also just loved like, yeah, The plot doesn't go super deep, but, like, it's just, like, Connor McGregor is so funny. The only reason I watched it was because Connor McGregor was in, and honestly, Bob Bennery, too. I, I, that guy's a nutcase, but I honestly, I like him. I think he's funny. Same. He is an absolute nutcase, but I, I, man, if you guys ever want to see someone, like, get ripped in the comments.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Yeah, that guy gets ripped, but he just keeps getting up every day and going back to it. It's like, he just does some, that guy does something stupid every day, but I think that is what makes him so entertaining. Apparently that movie is a remake of like an 8-1988. Yeah, it's an old movie. Got to watch that one. I thought Connor McGregor was a pretty good actor though. I did too.
Starting point is 00:41:30 I saw a bunch of stuff on like TikTok and it was, you know, like a guy playing the director and then a guy playing Connor like, just loosen up, man. You know, like just, all right, you're going to walk in the scene and look around. And then he like imitates Connor. But I think Connor being over the top is like what made the movie. It's over the top and everything. Exactly. I was like, I was chuckling the whole time.
Starting point is 00:41:49 And, like, Alondra doesn't really know Connor McGregor. She's like, who the fuck is this guy? And I'm, like, laughing because he just is so outrageous. Like, like, what do he walks in? Where the fuck is everybody? Yeah, that's literally probably how he acts in real life. It's so funny. Yeah, it was good.
Starting point is 00:42:06 I liked it. I liked it. It's on Amazon Prime for free. Can't beat that. But I didn't see him that, like, they filmed some of it during a UFC fight that we watched. But in the background of it, like Prime is on the ring. and stuff like that. And I was like crazy.
Starting point is 00:42:21 I wonder if Prime had to pay for that. Did you have to pay for advertising that ends up back in the movie? Oh, I don't know. It probably would have been harder for them to unblur it. Because I remember when they filmed that scene, it was at a regular UFC event. It was a real UFC event. And they just were like in between fights and they like played this song
Starting point is 00:42:37 and had Jake, uh, Jill and all come out. And I think like the crowd is kind of like, what the fuck is going on here? Because like they were playing it like it was actual. And they did like the guy, uh, putting, you know, Vas, greasing him up. and he like goes in there and it's like this fake fight
Starting point is 00:42:52 and like they must have had to put like the sound effects of people cheering and use different shots from far back in order to make it look real because I remember seeing like you know iPhone footage from people in the crowd everyone's just silent like what the fuck is going on because there's these two guys like fake fighting
Starting point is 00:43:07 in the ring and they like made him come out not to mention and then like the ref comes and grabs him he pushes the rep everyone comes back and fakes beat him up but like dude it's between two real fights It's not like watching it Just like if you were hired to come there
Starting point is 00:43:22 And watch the fake fight You go wow, this is pretty entertaining But it's between two real fights So you didn't show up to a WWE event Yeah You're at an actual thing You're like what is going on? The last two I saw really beat the shit out of each other
Starting point is 00:43:35 What is Jake Chillinghall doing out here Air punching this guy I mean like I get why And they made it look good in the movie But it had to be really weird watching it in real life Dude I mean UFC is killing it Like they're in everything 300 this weekend
Starting point is 00:43:47 I think Jake Gyllen Hall chilling in the hall, waiting for the call to come out for his brawl. Damn, Mike. I don't know. Where did that?
Starting point is 00:43:54 Oh, brother. That was good. That was good. Oh, that's funny. So I got to reverse back a little bit. So off the topic of Bud Light. Gavin told me the other day
Starting point is 00:44:06 that you were going sober, Mike. Yeah, for two weeks, yeah. Two weeks. No alcohol, no anything else? Just alcohol. Okay. Why? Wow.
Starting point is 00:44:14 What was the thought process for that? Yeah, let's hear the story on this. And Sydney just didn't. think that I could do two weeks and I was like, I think I can. Yeah. And then that's it. I was like, well, I know I can. Yeah, obviously. So when did you start? Wednesday. Nice. So you're five days in, four days in, something like that. So you started to think straight? Think the same. I did, I think it was like 65 days. No alcohol in like last fall. Yeah, that's why I was like, I mean, is this even worth talking about? Like, Ben's been sober for like six months now. Like it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:44:47 It's interesting for people, I think. Like, I was just, I was hoping for more of a backstory on it. I think the hardest part of that is just where we are and like the surroundings. Like, we go to Utah. I wouldn't drink in Utah either because I'd be wanting to drive, like drive things and go mountain biking and like do all these fun things. But it's really tough here when you wake up, it's 42 degrees windy and cloudy out this morning. It's like, well, what do you want to do? Oh, let's go bowling.
Starting point is 00:45:15 It's like, well, we're going to go bowling. Might as well have a beer. No, that's where, yeah, it's where it's hardest for me is just like burger and a beer. Yeah. And now it's just like- I get that. It's a burger and a soda pot. Dr. Pepper ain't so bad.
Starting point is 00:45:25 No. But lately, like I only drink maybe once a week, if that. And I probably won't drink this weekend. Well, maybe I will. I'm going over to hang out with Grandpa on after this, spending the Saturday with him. But oftentimes nowadays when I'm drinking, let's say we go out to dinner and I have like three drinks or four drinks. Like I kind of walk out. out of there, and I'm just like, that was pointless.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Like, I kind of wish I wouldn't have done that because now I got to, like, rehydrate and, like, you know, it's just like, it just was pointless. Like, it was just extra calories. Just not hitting, hitting like it used to after I've kind of weaned off. Like, you know, Ben has too. I did mine before Ben, but, uh, no, I just feel better too. I just feel great and, uh, dialed. That's a nice.
Starting point is 00:46:12 That's not surprised to hear that Ben didn't say or Ben said, he's like, you know, I, I really like, Don't necessarily feel any better. I think because he was forced to. He was forced to. When you're forced not to, then it's tough. But, like, for me, I kind of just did it by decision, mostly because I felt like shit. And then you add another thing on top.
Starting point is 00:46:30 It makes you feel even worse. Yeah. You know, it just makes it pretty easy to do. But yeah, no, I'm pretty happy with it. I just drink caffeine now. God, caffeine is the best. I couldn't kick that. I could not ever kick that.
Starting point is 00:46:44 I just love getting a good cup of coffee in the morning. Coffee is like three. I think I could cut out like, I could cut out all energy drinks and stuff like that. But like a good old cup of coffee, man. There's some comforting about it. That feels like human, you know? Yeah, it's just comforting to me. It is funny.
Starting point is 00:47:00 I look forward to coffee in the morning. Even at night, I'm like, damn, I would kill for a coffee right now. It's freaking like 8 p.m. I'm like, I can't have a coffee. I can't wait until morning. Did that last night. I was like, dude, a coffee would be so good right now. And it would be a horrible decision.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Yeah, every night I would say I crave the coffee that I'm going to get in the morning. And I've started, I used to make it at home and then have it on my way to work. But then now I just started having it here. So then it gets me to work even faster. So instead of like getting to work at nine or whatever, I'll just be like, all right, I'm going to go there and then get my morning started. Ken, can you search up the benefits of caffeine or like the side effects too? Like what's bad?
Starting point is 00:47:42 I don't think there are a ton of benefits. Well, obviously it wakes you up. That's a benefit. but I mean is there is there health how about how about just coffee one of like the the side effects for caffeine is like increased heart rate insomnia headache anxiety irritability high blood pressure diarrhea dizziness frequent urination tremors chest pain it just Jesus like it literally just keeps going on and on and like for me I I've noticed like if I have caffeine like anything past like 10 11 o'clock I just have a oh a am oh I was I say no shit I just have like a tough
Starting point is 00:48:14 time falling asleep Like, even if it's, really, if it's not right away in the morning, it's like, it just keeps me out. I don't have any problems with it. In fact, consumption of three to five standard cups of coffee daily has been consistently associated with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases. That's a lot of coffee. That's a lot of coffee. Wait, just two to three cups a day? Three to five.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Three to five standard cups. That is quite a bit. I normally drink probably two. I'm trying to figure out what. They just said it has been led to a. bunch of them and then doesn't say any of the positive things. I feel like that's one of those things where they have so many different studies out there contradicting each other based on who's paying for it where it's just there's just garbage
Starting point is 00:48:58 information all over the place. This one's from Harvard. I feel like there should be some solid evidence, but for how much everyone loves and drinks coffee, there should be some really solid evidence. Yeah, it seems like it be a pretty, like, you know, like you would just know a known fact. A pretty easy thing to test. That's like got to be one of the most popular drink. next to water, I would imagine.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Water and coffee have got to be the most commonly drank thing. I just thought, yeah, one of those corny signs that, like, you'd hang up in your kitchen. I don't always drink water, but when I do, it's coffee. It doesn't make any sense. But then I'm like, well, coffee kind of is just water. It says less likely to develop, this is, we are an, a comedy informational. I saw that on something. We're comedy informative.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Yeah, that's what this podcast is right here. So I don't know. Don't take this. I'm so glad I have like a genre to tell people. people now. Yeah. So don't take this as biblical, but you could live longer, longer. Could live longer. Yeah. Or you could not. Or you could not. Less likely to have coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and kidney disease. You may process, I love what it says may in all of these. May process glucose or sugar better. You're less likely to develop heart failure. You're less likely
Starting point is 00:50:08 to develop Parkinson's. Your liver will thank you. It's protective for your liver. Your DNA is stronger. your odds of getting colon cancer will go down. That's a good one. Your DNA, yeah, I'm just making my DNA stronger right now. But it seemed like there's some benefits. But I notice it with, if I have too much caffeine and we get into what would be called a stressful situation, I find that I handle it more poorly because I feel like I'm more reactive. You're all jittered.
Starting point is 00:50:39 I'm all, like, juiced up. And I don't really realize it, but I am. So I try to watch. that like if we're going to go out and and do something that really could take a lot of like hoopla try to not have as much caffeine when i'm editing i make sure i don't over caffeinate because like sometimes it's just like one of those things where you're like how can i make this go better you keep trying to drink more and more caffeine but then it gets a point where it's counterproductive because you're just like you're just kind of sick yeah you're making mistakes and like it's
Starting point is 00:51:05 not good when you stress and then when i when i'm like trying to gear up okay we have to i don't We're going to be out filming for the next eight hours. I'll overload on caffeine thinking it's going to help me and it doesn't. It stresses you out more. Not even the crash. I think just like the jitters along with the stressful situation makes it worse. Yeah, it just ramps up. It can be poor for you.
Starting point is 00:51:27 I got a new favorite drifter, a new favorite drift driver looking up to in the scene. He goes by the name of T-Pain. Really? T-Pain is drifting now? Yeah. At this point, he's just doing side quests. literally i kind of couldn't believe my eyes though so like he's in like the fd like competition like the turn of elsie games or whatever they're called like um the lz weekend i'm not sure what it's
Starting point is 00:51:50 but he's like side to side i'm like that's t pain so he's actually good he's yeah he won his like you know i think they start with like 18 or 30 drivers no he was drifting against another drifter and he's a big car guy tandem that's so cool i was like that is amazing that is so so i did not expect him to be well he has the song with hurt yeah have you seen his song dude he has a it's actually a pretty lit song you got to be a car guy to really enjoy it but uh what's it called just let him look it up after because otherwise it'd get copyright baby got brap yeah baby got bra that's what it is bro brum you got look it all that it's good it's actually pretty good um with the drifting you've done it mike you know you you you were struggling at the start
Starting point is 00:52:32 because you had a car that was not running it wasn't operating yeah but i dude and i was just struggling like okay so that was my question So now that your car runs good, and I was watching it, you're drifting good. So much easier. So my question is, if you have the proper car, is drifting that hard? No. Okay. I feel like I kind of have like came around to noticing that.
Starting point is 00:52:55 Like if you actually have a car built for it with an angle kit and all the other stuff, it seems like it's easier than it looks. I would like say just like riding a dirt bike, as in once you have the clutch, like once you know how to drive it, you point, you come up to a berm, you point the dirt bike, you don't have to be going super fast. It's not as tricky as it. You come up to the jump and you maybe don't feel comfortable,
Starting point is 00:53:17 but you know what you have to do. And it was the same thing. Like, I know how to swing my wheels out and add gas, turn the wheel. And then that's when I started getting pointers from, you know, the dudes there that knew what they were doing.
Starting point is 00:53:28 They'll explain something to you that you would never figure out on your own. Drifting is just drifting, whether you're in a front wheel drive, Buick and the snow. Like, it's the principle of swinging your ass and out. I mean, but if you don't have a car built with like an angle kit, basically,
Starting point is 00:53:43 basically just an angle kit for actual drifting. Yeah, like he couldn't link a whole course in his Camaro because, you know. I can't turn. Yeah, it seems like drifting, the sport of drifting is growing. Like, I, it's kind of boring to watch, in my opinion, but I think it's really fun to do. And I've just done it a little in the Miata. I thought the same thing.
Starting point is 00:54:04 It's like when you're there watching it, it's pretty hard to like get into you. You might see one dude that got super. super close to the wall and then you're like yeah but when you know that you just got to hop in your car and then hop in line to go do that then it makes it way more excited I mean it lasts longer than just doing a drag run definitely better than you can't like watch where people were like okay this guy initiated at this point maybe I can uh try and take a pointer from that and yeah I think drifting at its simplest level with the right stuff is pretty easy but dude some of those guys
Starting point is 00:54:33 aren't doing actually linking the guy linking the course like actually doing the course just going around linking it like you're drifting this corner then you flop and drift it to the other way and they're saying like just doing a little like like it's a nine yeah like a slide and you they're staying like inches away from that wall the whole time like i think that's sick it's like and it's like again the difference between like jumping a jump on a dirt bike and just whipping the shit out of it and then like railing a berm like it's it's like a lot of sports it's easy to get to that 50% level like he's doing it and then to get to the 99% level 100% agree you got a work for you.
Starting point is 00:55:09 When you see the guy going like 80 miles an hour and then rips the e-break and he's like going backwards into the corner. Like that's just gnarly. That's just gnarly. That's just believing in yourself. If I do it, I want to get a, uh, uh, a six Corvette and do it with that. I think that'd be, that'd be, that'd be gnarly. Otherwise, I'd probably have to do like a 350 Z just because that's iconic.
Starting point is 00:55:28 But I feel like I can't have two Nissan. Two. It's just like, you're just a Nissan guy, I don't know if I necessarily want to be a Nissan guy. I just like the GTR and I do like the 350 and 370 Z, but it's like at, Yeah, what, like, if I get another one, it's like, yeah, he just, bro, he's, he's got a bunch of Nissan's just not, not what I really want to be. I mean, the Japanese is fine, but the, I just don't want to be a Nissan guy.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Dude, a handful of the guys at the track, they weren't even, like, shitting on my car. They were just like, you know, they talked about taking the turbo off, making it easier to drive. And they were like, dude, just get it. They call it a missile car. Just get a missile car. Like, just get another 350 Z, just like a stock 350Z. And I'm like, bro, I don't think I can handle the flack that I'll get. If I really rolled up with, like, another drift car, people would be like, dude, this guy is losing it.
Starting point is 00:56:14 No, I wouldn't be pumped if you did that, Mike. I love it when you buy stuff. I do, too. It's so entertaining, dude. And so then, of course, like, I'm actually, like, legit looking. I'm like, well, some of these, you know, if you look from not around here, you can pick up a, you know, $5,000, $6,000, $3.50s. It's pretty cheap, honestly, to get in the game. Just daily drive it, too.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Yeah, like the one that Jake's, uh, borrowing from Buddy Cody is so beat up, so bad. They're bulletproof. It's what you need, dude. It literally is bulletproof. Isn't that the car that like people get passed around or this guy will learn how to drift in it and then it'll get your past the next side? Yeah, it's like so. Everybody gets a ride dented, but like the motor and the clutch are just chilling.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Stock clutch. Really? It's crazy. Wow. That's actually pretty impressive. But that's what you need. This is a good beater. But also, fuck it.
Starting point is 00:57:04 No, I said it. Make yours a new, and. the beater dude i do that's the thing i don't want to do that since it's chilling at at a nice stage like i don't want to do that but the plan is so pretty too yeah he they make these kevlar uh fenders and doors that are like you can just fold them up and bend them and i'm like that's what i need yeah your shit's all jacked up after jake isn't it yeah dude did they when you didn't latch your hood and it blew up yeah that was hilarious dude your car is the gift that keeps on giving one of those situations where like i couldn't really be that mad at him
Starting point is 00:57:35 because like all he did was forget to like latch the one latch and like hood blows up right after it but then it destroys it destroys my quarter panels and the hood and the windshield yeah the windshield has a little crack but um then we're at the track and he he's like all right he starts my car up like we're going to load it up I'm like you can just load it you can just load it like if you want whatever and I was taking a Snapchat instead of guiding him onto the trailer because like the car's not that wide you got and then he just like he's looking at the left he's got like a foot on the left and he's just grinding the wheel and i'm known for curbing my wheels but for some reason all the wheels on my drift car were immaculate which is just like it was bound to happen
Starting point is 00:58:15 yeah bound to happen but then he curbs like just shaves off the outer ring on the trailer fender one of those situations where i'm like i mean i'm not going to make you buy me a new rim but also i'm sad just bombed guys well i got i got to go take a leak it was a good time i'm gonna go take a leak go hang out with my grandpa on for the day i'll uh yeah good luck not drinking yeah we might have to have a couple beers yeah with grandpa ron yeah he's watching uh basketball he's uh you know just a lot of smart so i'm going over there to go go do that with him so anyways well you take it easy and you guys as well try not to get into too much trouble see you next time don't let you meet love
