Ray William Johnson: True Story Podcast - The Worst Road Rage I've Ever Seen - The Nathaniel Radimak story

Episode Date: July 10, 2025

Nathaniel Walter Radimak, infamously dubbed the “Tesla road rage guy,” launched a series of violent attacks across Southern California between 2022 and 2023—smashing cars with a metal pipe, stalking drivers, making criminal threats, and assaulting vulnerable targets including an elderly woman and multiple motorists

So this turd is a serial road rager, and he's about to get exactly what's coming to him. Now the guy, his name's Nathaniel, and Nathaniel is 36 when this story starts, living in California, and bro is just an angry dude. Like he has a long history of harassing and assaulting people. He's always looking for an excuse to start a fight. And one day, in 2023, he takes things way too far, because Nathaniel is at a shopping center when he sees a young couple there. And I don't exactly know what this couple does to upset him. Probably, you know, nothing. But dude gets really pissed off, and when they get in their car to leave, he follows them.

So he's like chasing them down the highway now. And so this couple is speeding down the highway, trying to get away from him, and they take an exit. But he's still following them. Then they have to stop for traffic on the off ramp. So Nathaniel also stops his car and that he gets out and he starts swinging a metal pipe at them. You can see him here going after their car. Now luckily the couple gets away. However, at the same time, a different guy driving down the highway sees all this going on and he's like, what the fuck is going on?

And so he starts recording the whole thing on his phone. And I guess Nathaniel doesn't like to be filmed because he sees the guy recording and he gets back in his car and he merges over to to the left lane and boom, he sideswipes the dude's truck. Then he pulls out in front of him and he blocks him and he gets out of his car and he comes at this dude with a metal pipe and he takes swings at his truck. Now lucky for us all, this dude has a dash cam and he recorded all of it. Then later, the dude in the truck posts that dash cam footage online and people start sharing the footage and that is when it gets the attention of this guy. Tizzy. And Tizzy is an influencer who's well known on TikTok. He often calls out awful people for doing awful things and this will sometimes help the police catch those people. So Tizzy makes a video about

some of this stuff Nathaniel's been doing and he posts this footage of him attacking the guy's truck to his 7 million followers. And very quickly, 10 more people, mostly women, reach out to Tizzy to be like, I've seen that guy before. He attacked me on the road too. Because as it turns out, Oh, Nathaniel has quite a history of doing things like this. For over 20 years, he's been assaulting people in various road rage incidents across nine different states. Bro, it's like a road rage connoisseur. For example, a few years ago, Nathaniel was driving down the road in West Hollywood

going the wrong way into oncoming traffic for some reason, until he blocks someone's car in. And in that car is a woman driving with her nine. 93 year old mother. So naturally the woman, I guess, she yells at him from her window and Nathaniel flips the fuck out on her and he gets out of his car and he's screaming and he throws a can of soda at her. Then a parking valet nearby hears all this commotion and he's like, dude, you're yelling at an elderly woman, calm down. And so of course Nathaniel starts screaming at him too like, oh you want to go bro, you want to go? Then Nathaniel throws something at him.

And you can see the footage here slowed down, you can see the thing he throws, and then boom, it hits the valet guy in the face. And then they get into a fist fight, which I can't really show you, but this is a screenshot of it here, and here is another one here. And so clearly Nathaniel has some kind of problem. He's been pulling this kind of stuff over and over again for years, and multiple people have caught him on video. And it's weird because this stuff almost feels like it's planned. like he knows it's going to happen. The guy drives around with a metal pipe in his car ready to use it against anyone who challenges him. Who does that? Not to mention he also does things to cover his tracks like he removes his license plate or you can see him wearing a mask in some of the footage so that

no one can identify him. And apparently when he gets in legal trouble in one state, he'll just like flee to another state so he doesn't get caught. And also it is alleged that he is a drug dealer. Like he makes his money selling illegal steroids so that he's paid in cash. And steroids would also explain his inability to control his temper. But again, that is alleged. So anyways, his victims all across the country are eager to see this insane roided out road rager locked up. But unfortunately, they have a problem. No one can identify him.

Because, you know, he does things like remove his license plate and he works for cash so that he doesn't have an employer and he moves around a lot. And that is where Tizzy comes back in. He posts footage of Nathaniel to TikTok hoping that someone will recognize him and give his name. But no one comes forward. And Tizzy's like, what is going on? People must recognize him. He's driving the same car all the time. Why isn't anyone coming forward? But then Tizzy finally figures it out. Maybe people are recognizing him. Maybe it's that they're too afraid of this psychopath to come forward. I mean, the dude is violent and he would likely retaliate. So Tizzy comes up with a solution. If you're worried about retaliation, bring it to me. Tell me who it is. I will keep you anonymous. I will turn

the information over to authorities. And as soon as he posts that, bam, three more people come forward with Nathaniel's full name. And Tizzy then gives that info to the police and then, bam, they arrest him. But it's not over yet. Because while Nathaniel is convicted and sentenced to five years in prison, he gets out after serving less than a year due to overcrowding. And just like he does, anytime he gets in trouble in one state, Nathaniel moves to a new state. This time, it's Hawaii. But maybe by now he's learned his lesson. Maybe since he's been in prison, he has tamed his anger and he won't ever have another road rage incident like that again. Until.

Until it's 2025. And Nathaniel is 39 now. And a mom and a daughter are in their car. And mom is teaching daughter how to parallel park. And they've just successfully parked when Nathaniel is driving by and he races near them and he nearly hits their car. And so the teen girl yells out the window, slow down. And of course,

this pisses Nathaniel's dumbass off. He doesn't care that this is a teenage girl. He is not gonna let this slide. And so, scur, he turns his car around and he parks it, and he gets out, and he starts yelling at the teen, like, what the fuck did you say to me? You wanna go, bro? And then he runs up to the car and pow,

he punches the teen girl right in the face through the window. And of course, the mom sees this, and she starts freaking out, and she gets out of the car to confront him, and she throws her iced coffee at him. Then Nathaniel charges at her. her and he starts punching her. Then he gets back in his car and he speeds away and he runs a stop sign because of course he does. And of course the mom immediately calls the police and police go and find him. And so, bam, they arrest Nathaniel. Here's his mugshot. Okay, but here's where the story gets

kind of good. Nathaniel, he goes straight to prison because he violated his parole and so they throw his ass right in prison. And while he's there, he somehow gets into a fight with other inmates, like a fist fight. And those other inmates actually kick his ass. And the next thing we know, old Nathaniel is being treated in the local hospital looking like this. Huh-huh. Good for him.
