Jeremy Gerber and uh you guys make. [ __ ] awesome cars well thank you dud. for.

what a great job I mean what a [ __ ]. great job dude you guys get to work on. some of the [ __ ] coolest cars have. ever been made it's uh you guys have an. incredible gig live in the dream man. that's it that's what it's all about so. I drove that 1970 Barracuda and I got y. I don't want to say [ __ ] until we get on. the air dude I'm sweating I've been. sweating thinking about that thing is a. masterpiece it's my favorite that's my. favorite car now that's that just went. number one it beat all of them hell yeah. dude you know like edges you know the.

Camaro's amazing the my Nova that I got. from Steve stro is [ __ ] incredible. but this thing is [ __ ] it's also it's. like I have so much history with this. car and I bought this car 20 years ago. and to buy Reggie Bush bought it and. then he got rid of it after a while he. dumped a bunch of money into it too he. was telling me and then um when uh my. friend yoel told me he got it back he he. called me and he said uh I have your. barracuda I'm like no and this is like.

you know I was already thinking that I. wanted to get another one like I wanted. to get them I only like hot rods that. are manuals that's all I like I do not. like automatic hot rods just feels like. something's wrong when when you're. driving a like a classic muscle car it's. like why am I not shifting you know and. just what you guys did to that thing is. just you guys are artists appreciate. it's really amazing dude we were stoked. stoked to hear when you found that car. cuz you could have built anything you. know so but that damn car was so rad and.

to start with it yeah revamp that sucker. and put our touch on it man I had I had. a blast doing it dude and I'm glad that. you're digging it I love it I love it. that was the whole everything on that. all the styling and stuff aside it was. the focus was making that [ __ ] work. really good so that you got something. fun to drive so it drives so different. than anything else it's uh that that. high revving uh naturally aspirated. Mercury engine yeah which is like very. different it's a wild motor man the like.

the Mopar dude's not a big fan of it. right because. it's Chevy base but it's a [ __ ] motor. you know it's an internal combustion. engine looks like a Hemy under the hood. people have to get over that [ __ ] like. um uh there's a bunch of people that are. taking V8s like LS engines and putting. them in the back of Porsches yeah yeah. and people are like man I don't know. they're doing like those 964 air cooled. engines but dude do you know how fun. that would be it's probably lighter than. the Porsche engine it's got way more.

torque oh yeah way more horsepower. totally different sound it's I mean it's. upgrades it doesn't have to fit it's not. like you got to stick with. whatever came in a factory I make it. better riding they got to let that [ __ ]. go yeah they do they got to let that. [ __ ] go the people are the worst about. it is Ferrari people Ferrari will sue. you I know man I've I've heard that. there that is so crazy if you buy a. Ferrari and you paint it weird colors. they'll [ __ ] sue you yeah yeah you. see there's a couple things floating.

around you got that dude that just uh. man he swapped like a Honda motor turbo. Honda motor into Old 308 every comments. like when's the cease and assist letter. coming yeah I wonder if they can do that. with classic ones because I know that. there's a bunch of people that have hot. rotted some old gto's and they really. are incredible they're cool dude I talk. about it all the time I'm I'm itching to. like Resto mod tester Roa oo it's going. to happen one of these days I don't know. why but I think.

those cars never did it for me they like. it looks like junk man that side thing. with the like vents like get the [ __ ]. out of here what is that the generation. it's the generational Gap you know no. that was Miami Vice I was a kid I. remember Miami Vice everybody wanted a. tester Roa I want to do the that Lambo. LP 2000 or whatever the lambo truck the. Vintage one oh the one Mike Tyson had. Mike Tyson had one of those back in the. day do those with mid travel you you. only want to do that because you picture. that [ __ ] uh Doberman sitting in the. front seat of that that's a perfect car.

for like Doberman Rottweiler I've got a. yeah that's your style for sure yeah. that's a guy with. warrants guys's got a car like that that. guy's done some shady [ __ ] you got to. get some of those in your collection a. doberman and a Lambo truck like what are. you up. to for sure you know how to get K of. me so dude did you rip that Cuda you. drove it here yeah I drove it here got a. few miles on it yeah oh my god dude it's. so different that that engine is it's. just a the reving engine I mean what's.

the uh what's the red line on that thing. you could shift it at like 83 8,400. that's so crazy for a V8 it's so crazy. and it sounds so different it's like it. sounds like um a combination of like the. voodoo engine from the uh the Shelby GT. 350 and a like an exotic car it's real. weird it's got a sweet sound like the. voodoo engines and all those coyotes are. cool but like me even being a car guy if. I'm on the highway and I'm just cruising. like with my family and some [ __ ] kid.

flies by you in one of those with an. exhaust system on it like what the [ __ ]. is Jesus man have a little respect I. don't think you need an exhaust system. on one of those they sound good when. they're straight from the factory I like. that sound but dudes go crazy with their. exhaust yeah it's like isn't that. annoying to you like yeah it's like a. maturity thing I think you know you got. to you want the exhaust tone like that. car too we put that little bypass on it. you can you can open it up and it's. maybe like 20 30% louder but it's not.

obnoxious it doesn't need to be that. sounds perfect it sounds I didn't know. if there was like an HOA or something. you know so I was trying to make sure. you have that that option yeah try to be. respectful try to be respectful it's. weird driving that though and then. getting back in another lsv8 powered car. and like you're shifting so much earlier. and then you jump in that trying to. figure like mentally stay in it another. 3,000 RPMs and it comes alive at five. grand and just rips it's just very. different but it's got plenty of low-end. torque for it to be fun like right off. theine line but it's just like when you.

get on the highway when you get on it's. first of all the handling the thing I. wanted to ask you this because you guys. remapped um how the transmission works. and the tunnel and then you put the the. rear transaction does that shift the. weight more to the back it makes that. car ends up being like perfect 50/50 so. with a big monster V8 in the front of it. the car still you know it's a little. more exotic because it's balanced that's. what I was thinking when I was driving. it I'm like God this thing is so.

balanced it's so sorted it's it's just. like super predictable and it feels. feels like a sports car doesn't it. compared the exact opposite feeling of. the old car the old 70 was that it had. that giant Hemi in the front and it was. like really front end heavy oh yeah and. you could feel it you could feel it. around turns you could feel it. everywhere it's like yikes and it you. know it had solid re rear axle it had. you didn't have the widest tires in the. world and it was just like oh oh yeah. Sketch big old like boat anchor that's.

why everybody that chimes in they're. like man should had a big old 426 H me. with a four barrel on it you're like. dude what the [ __ ] shut your mouth going. drive it shut your mouth if I gave you. that car you'd [ __ ] your pants it's the. most incredible car of all time like. shut up you drove it you drove the. Camaro yesterday you were talking about. so it's interesting back to back two. days jumping out of the Camaro cuz you. know you like Camaro is way more sketchy. the Camaro is like if you're taking a. right turn you give it a little juice. you're going to kick out yeah like it's. so powerful at the low end it's so it's.

got that just wants to go like you got. to be like very careful with the. throttle in the Camaro yeah you got to. respect the Camaro a lot more than this. one this this one just lets you feel. where the balance it's just like you. know where the limitations are just it's. like giving you more information it. seems like Camaro is just like a bar. brawler you know the Camaro is like some. crazy dude who comes into a bar and he's. doing coke and he just want to start. smashing [ __ ] you know.

that's what it's like it's like I mean. it handles for one of those cars for a. 69 I mean you don't get a 69 Camaro that. handles better it handles amazing but it. just it's so rowdy and it has what is. that like 850 horsepower yeah 850 horse. it's the supercharger man the torque's. like [ __ ] it's like a light switch. yeah it's it's fun but you can wind that. you can wind that [ __ ] out though I. mean it'll shoot pretty straight it's a. fun car to drive it's a recipe for. disaster.

just enjoy enjoy it at seven don't get. that [ __ ] up to 9 or 10 don't do it. swap a py on it the bo I had the. privilege of fogging that thing man and. making sure it was sorted but it uh that. [ __ ] is Rowdy compared to the Cuda for. yeah it's very different it's a very. different feeling but they're both. equally enjoyable in different ways you. know it's just the I mean uh i' I've. sang the Praises of those cars so many. times but there's just something about. that era of cars that is like the. greatest achievement in automotive.

history in terms of like what what the. the what it emotes from people the kind. of like passion that people have for. those things yeah sometimes it's too. much passion though you know if you like. flying under the radar like like I'm. obviously you for you yeah that's that's. it creates a lot of conversation yeah. and for me I'm like you know you drive. something like that to a gas just to. fill it with gas and you're like dude. everybody's best friend everybody's got. something to say yeah those old pickup'. 70s pickup trucks tooo same [ __ ]. situation oh yeah people who love those.

old pickup trucks that's like a very. specific breed of person those c10s it. is it you know it's it is and it isn't. because you got it like transcends just. the like C10 dudes cuz chicks love those. dude C10 oh yeah like square square body. Chevys really and if you're you're a. single dude and you're trying to roll. some some broads man get [ __ ] square. body truck there's guys out there right. now taking notes and like okay so you. sure you sure about this solid sales.

[ __ ] yeah so the year range what we got. 73 to 79 that's oh we doing yeah those. those Legend series or whatever is. anybody redoing the OJ Bronco it's. getting there and we we done seems like. that's started it's old enough now that. that's a classic right it is it's the. like it's shifting man because that the. generation is changing and people are. doing more of those like we just did a. 87 gr National and it's getting into. that era like you're going to break into. the early 90s yeah we did a check for. one we had it in our shop I wanted to do.

one slam that [ __ ] on a chassis license. plate juice and of course do you guys. know uh Mark Curry Hanging with Mr. Cooper remember that show yeah yeah Mark. Curry's a car nut too he's a standup. comic and he had this beautiful OJ. Bronco it was really dope pretty sure it. was a Bronco uh and a [ __ ] tree fell. on it he had the Bron in his show I. remember he had the Bronco in his show. too his TV show I think he would drive. that yeah so look at this oh yeah a. [ __ ] tree fell on his truck and.

crushed it poor guy yeah I think it. total it yeah it looks like it's see if. you get photos of it cuz it's a massive. tree that fell on his look at the size. of the [ __ ] tree that fell on his. Bronco. [ __ ] it was a dope Bronco though he had. like completely redone it was a total. sleeper there's Mark Mark's the [ __ ]. super cool dude really really funny. standup too if you ever see him live I. never seen him he's really funny really. funny but you know he made like a ton of. money off of Hanging with Mr Cooper He's.

just like chill having a good time. enjoying himself but uh just luckily he. wasn't in that thing that's how our our. governor got paralyzed the tree tree is. that what happened I always wonder what. happened he was jogging and a jogging. around a lake a tree falling you while. you're jogging dude what are the odds. what are the odds yeah that's they do. fall though you know when you're hunting. and you know like you're in an area with. like a lot of Deadfall and it's windy. like if you hear crack like that's. something you have to be very.

considerate of you have to really. consider cuz if you hear a tree falling. and it's anywhere near you like you. could get got like you have to really. pay attention if you're in a place where. trees fall it's super super super rare. to be there when a tree falls but when. you go through the woods you see falling. trees all the time like they do happen. and if you are there when that I mean. you could just Zig when you should have. zagged if that happens to me I hope it. takes me out dude cuz I hate I would not. want to tell that story about like if. I'm. I hope it grazes and people are like.

dude what happened [ __ ] tree fell on. me came out of nowhere. yeah well abits pulled it off he's the. governor he's a great guy. too and you know that's what happened to. him it's crazy story just guy was like. super fit running around a lake that's. nuts wild yeah [ __ ] wild that's like. we always talk no no disrespect to. anybody but they're getting hit by a. train that's I saw that on Instagram. last week blown my mind because they're.

not they don't sneak up on you they do. though because they're moving so fast. you miscalculate how much time it takes. to get out of the way you really do you. see them you see them coming they're. coming towards you you don't you don't. understand what that means like when you. if you think you could run across a. highway because you see the car down. there no you can't no you can't the. car's going 80 miles an hour it's going. to [ __ ] Smash Into You it's just a. bad C and it's also like for whatever. reason sometimes people stop on tracks.

it's the craziest thing their car stalls. they get stopped on tracks the semi or. they try to beat the train and they get. clipped that's what happened to Matt. Hughes yeah yeah I. mean trains are [ __ ] it's amazing. it's an adrenaline thing too you know we. were out ripping those scooters those. little rental [ __ ] electric scooters. and sea was a buddy mine he [ __ ]. throttles down on this thing I'm like. dude don't do that right in front of the. train it looked like something out of a. movie. if we had fireworks going off in the.

backr I forgot all about that I I had a. concussion that's I forgot about it and. you're trusting some [ __ ] rental. scooter right like what are the odds. that that thing's not beat to [ __ ] D. driving around Austin yesterday those. things just they leave them wherever huh. ever like you have a nap you just find. one pick it up start riding they in the. middle of the road like yesterday we. were driving around they're just [ __ ]. everywhere it's a great way for people. to get around though if you like look. Austin is a great walking around City. there's a lot of places is just Lo like.

where my club is on 6th Street they shut. the street down on the weekends and it's. just for people walking around it's. amazing it's [ __ ] cool everybody just. wandering around going to bars it's it's. really Prime for a bachelorette party on. about six or seven of those scooters. yeah dude oh they're always happening. seeing them get koed they're always. happening and they're they're in those. Petty cabs they're always in the. back those scooters should be regulated. here we're lucky to have Josh with us. today cuz Josh had himself a [ __ ]. violent wreck on one of those and we. Louisville yeah oh man Helmet or no.

helmet hel headbang like like a bouncy. ball doing stupid. conrete concrete oh boy pull out my pull. out my phone I'm navigating we're trying. to find a bar I'm in the lead and pull. out my phone and just kind of stand. there and then got a tank slapper. and honestly my pride has is hurt way. worse yeah it's not recoverable the old. falling becomes way more dangerous.

that's what we said you know like I used. to fall when I was a kid it was like a. normal thing to like fall off your bike. now you fall off your bike like Jesus. yeah like checking everything yeah. making sure they used to be able like. roll now it's just you hit and splat. yeah you just hit awkward and then. things click why is it clicking why is. my neck clicking breaking just thinking. about cracked Bones and [ __ ] yeah don't. Ride Scooters bro come on we need you he. learned his lesson we need you out there. making awesome cars that's right I saw. that grand national you guys did that's.

another card that I I appreciate but I. don't get it I put that in the tester. Roa category to me it's like that's a. sedan that's like a regular Sedan like. it just there's nothing special about it. I don't like it so I've never been I've. never been into those cars either I've. always hated the G bodies not a fan at. all but that's a car that's so [ __ ]. violently fast and badass to drive oh. I'm sure and it's got like a menacing I. kind of made me a believer in them. because it's got like this menacing look. about it cuz it's like you said it's. like a sedan you know you look at it and.

it's it was an average ass looking car. but it's it kind of made me a Believer I. I turned the corner on the g b a little. bit yeah a little bit but it's not the. best shape those years what is that like. ' 87 or something like that what yeah. those years sucked it did those years. sucked even the the greatest stuff that. anybody made during those years sucked. when's a Mustang coming you got to do a. Mustang don't you I do have to do a. Mustang look at that. thing yeah it's dope as far as those. cars go it's dope but it's just they're.

not the the best looking cars like if. you're going to I don't know if you're. going to commit to a car like some some. shape and some I like stuff like the. ones when people were taking acid and. making great music. yeah that was that's the cars those are. the cars yeah you had these like. colorful characters that were designers. that yeah what's that dude's name it was. just a [ __ ] nut dude remember with. the crazy clothes and oh yeah. oh [ __ ] crazy GM.

designer had no had the red suit all the. time for sure they did drugs tons of. drugs here's what my here's why you can. tell it drops off radically after the. sweeping psychedelics Act of 1970 so in. 1970 they made everything schedule one. they turned mushrooms LSD everything. became schedule one and the purpose of. it look at this [ __ ] crazy dude. that's the guy who designed everything. he's an animal look at him you know that. dud famous famous guy I mean so when. they made it in 1970 from 70 on the cars.

started sucking yeah like literally like. it's like right when everything became. illegal the cars just fell apart you get. like a couple of good 71s like the 71. Barracuda is dope yeah the carryover. cars yeah but you get into like the 70. Camaros you're like what did you do like. what did you do it's like it's okay but. like but you had Perfection like what. did you do that's a that's a funky one. to to think CU there's 70 Camaro guys. you know and I could see like there's. something about them that's all right.

but to Veer away from such an iconic. design yeah the 69 was it's one of the. baddest ass cars ever made and to just. drop that not even like evolve it a. little bit you get into like the 80s and. you're like what is that yeah with the. IR rocks like what is that what have you. done what have you done what are you. guys doing to do something you guys are. on the wrong drugs there's no way well I. think cocaine came in and played a part. of it you know cuz like we did this. [ __ ] design is awesome send it we did.

a 79 Camaro white one and it's like you. white tea Toops did it for a guy out at. Pennsylvania and it's we call it the. cocaine Cruiser it's got that look you. know but yeah the design it kind of went. out the [ __ ] window I think like AMX. AMC AMX I'll bet you that entire product. line was like an acid trip I feel like. right yeah some wild ones they javelins. and [ __ ] even the way they're I mean. besides the just the drugs I mean. there's stories about Bill Mitchell I.

mean he was supposedly now this is the. story as you heard they were paying. prostitutes out of petty cash from. General Motors of course they were like. on a weekly paying gold bullions and but. they lived a life like it was kind of a. rockstar lifestyle I mean there's. stories about them getting drunk and. taking like a horse drawn carriage in. New York City and driving it like. through the Waldo Historia and I mean. [ __ ] like that back in the day they're. it's a crazier mentality and they were. getting away with a lot more [ __ ] that I.

think trickled down into the company I. think they trickled down the design yes. they were rock and roll guys they made. rock and roll cars man they all they. really did like those you go back and. look at like a 1969 Mustang like whoever. whatever you were on back then you. [ __ ] nailed it like like there was. nothing like that before that you know. if you go to like the 19 the difference. between the 1950s cars and the 1960s. cars is crazy because if you think about. the difference between a 203 car and a. 2023 car not much [ __ ] difference.

right even Mustangs and things like that. they look great 13 you know 10 years ago. they look great now but it's like they. don't look that much different that you. go that's an old car but 50 to 60 is. like that's when the drugs kicked in and. that's 100% they started making the. Corvette look for the like the 67 plus. Corvette they just had this [ __ ]. shape to it you know they just went ham. dude that's a good observation I've. never really put two and two together on. that cuz yeah the stuff so like. civilized and like professional and then.

it yeah. definitely these guys got [ __ ] up and. they made some amazing art and that's. really what it is and what you guys do. is take that art and update it that's. what I love I love like first of all I. love the craftsmanship and just the. skill that you guys have the and the. engineering that's involved and I just. really really appreciate all that that. that all that goes into that but it's. also art like you guys are making art.

with other with old art you take these. rusted old [ __ ] up cars oh yeah and. you strip them all down put a completely. new chassis put everything in so it. works like a modern car and you get the. best of both worlds you get that look. that those cars had was just magical. whatever they were whatever the in the. design element of those cars it's just. magical dude that's the key to those. because everybody loves muscle cars but. you know people look at him like you get. some dude who's like 45 50 years old.

right he made himself a bunch of cash. and he says that looks cool I want to. have it has no [ __ ] idea that when he. buys a 70 Cuda it's a massive pile of. [ __ ] to drive like a like a bone stock. car you you have no idea cuz you look at. it you think it's cool it's fast it was. fast it's not it's got the iconic big. motor and yeah my mom had a 1971 when I. was growing up that's when I became. infatuated with cudas really yeah she it. was with a 340. a crazy car for your mom to have your.

mom must have been pretty [ __ ] cool. she pretty cool um but it was like the. shape of that car just intoxicated me. just as a kid and I was always like but. hers was like kind of boring looking it. was like kind of a copper bronze color. it was like kind of boring stock and I. was like man so one day one day so that. was like the car in my head always was. like 7071 I like both of them there's. something about the 70 with the. individual headlights it just makes it a. little little s it stands out but that. [ __ ] Grill in the 71 is pretty wild.

too yeah the gr I like the tail lights. on the 72 that's it's good looking car. man it's it's easy when you start with. one of those we've done a handful of. cudas cuz those cars are just good. looking to begin with and you don't. really have to touch the body on them. you know you talk about like making art. that car is like art to begin with yeah. well I think Dodge did the very best job. of doing that retro version of The. Challenger I think all those cars that. to me look a lot like an like first time. I saw the Hellcat I was like that's a.

[ __ ] dope car yeah dope modern car. like you could see driving that 15 20. years from now it would be cool dude. they're very cool my problem with them. is we've always been around the muscle. cars so you're used to the proportions. of like I've had 70 Challengers and. you're used to those proportions and. when you see that car next to it it's. like I don't know it's like the big dumb. kid in gym class when you're a kid it's. like a little overgrown you know what I. mean why did they do why they make. bigger the [ __ ] so much bigger yeah it's. just the wheelbase the platform you know.

all the safety requirements they have to. the HVAC system in in a new modern car. whatever is is as big as your entire. dash interior of like that 70 Cuda you. pull out the HVAC system under the dash. of one of those new ones that's why it's. a lot from from a steering wheel all the. way to the outside of the firewall I. mean you're talking like three [ __ ]. feet really and it's just the amount of. [ __ ] they pack into those new cars it's. [ __ ] nuts the the horsepower and the. performance is pretty mindblowing on. that stuff like if you think everybody.

Raves about like the muscle car era but. if you stop and think like dude you can. go into the dealership right now and buy. a thous horsepower car a car that runs. 9C quter miles Jamie just got a brand. new Tesla plaid and I don't know if. you've driven one of those but look I. love muscle cars but that car makes. every car feel stupid that's stupid I. mean stupid it goes 0 to 60 in 2 seconds. it flies it goes so it goes so fast it's. like it's time trap. like it moves into positions that no.

other car can do it and somehow it does. it silently so you don't feel like a. douche bag like you. like and getting in front of somebody. you just go you're gone how Wild is it. Jamie crazy I mean I barely drove it. yesterday cuz I was I I took it in the. back and I was just like oh my God this. is a little okay hold on and they it's. like I think it's 1100 horsepower holy. [ __ ] is it controllable or is it% go by. itself. dialed it's so dialed in there's never.

wheel spin I mean when you take off. there's no wheel spin it's all. completely electronically managed the. base of the thing is all batteries so. the weight is low so it's got an amazing. center of gravity 1,20 horsepower oh. back to your point 1.9 seconds 0 to. 60 bro it's Preposterous I know it's. tough when you talk about that to like. make the argument against electric cars. cuz the the performance is nuts I drove.

the [ __ ] Cuda here today though I. didn't drive the Tesla yeah yeah it's a. different experience like I'm not trying. to go I'm not racing anybody just going. to work you know like it's the feeling. it's the auxiliary experience little bit. of vibration the noise you're in you're. connected to the car right you feel like. you're you're the one operating the car. there's a few things in life that people. wish they had that are really actually. worth getting and muscle cars are one of. them 100% is just one of them dude. modified muscle car modified muscle car. can drive it yeah because it's like.

there's a lot of things that people wish. they had then when you had it you have. it it's like I I explain this once like. my first nice apartment that I ever had. was in North Hollywood when I first. moved to California and I was on a TV. show I was like wow I got a nice. apartment this is crazy this is my own. place it had a loft and had a pool table. and I was sitting in front of my TV and. I realized I go oh this is just a house. like it's just like every other house. the same feeling I had when I was in a. shitty apartment it's just your place. you go to place you chill it's the same. feeling so all that extra money you play.

for these big giant houses and all the. crazy [ __ ] you think you're going to get. that same amount of juice from like wow. what an amazing feeling being in this. house but it's just your house you just. have that same feeling oh I'm in my. house oh I'm opening my refrigerator I'm. going to have breakfast it's the same. feeling right it's not the same feeling. with cars when you are in one of the if. I drive the Tesla to work it's quiet. it's great I listen to books on tape I'm. I'm cruising along it makes no sound.

it's very relaxing and peaceful but when. I drive like the Camaro to work it's. like I'm in a [ __ ] Doors video you. know it's. [Music]. like it's a trip I'm on a Disney ride. I'm in a Disney ride are you jamming out. to any music in then or you just listen. to the m i I jammed out to music until I. was halfway here and I'm like I didn't. want to hear the music anymore I just. wanted to hear the engine you know. there's both thing like I have a Porsche. uh 1993 RS America is the rawest car I.

have it's not fast at all it only has. like 300 horsepower it has no power. steering it has no air conditioning it. has no radio it has no nothing and it. weighs like you know it's like I don't. know 2,000 something pounds weighs. nothing and it's so fun I'll bet it's so. different than any other experience and. it's not the fastest it's the slowest. car I have for sure it's not that fast. but it's every every mile per hour. everything you [ __ ] feeling in your.

ass and in your hands and it's this. raspy air. [Applause]. cooled you don't have to be going fast. it's just the feeling you're getting. you're on a ride it requires all of you. do it's like a motorcycle all connected. you're making everything happened you're. the one controlling it there's no. computers there's no traction control. that you have to really Ste that [ __ ]. too because there's no power steering so.

like when you're parallel parking you. got to [ __ ] work your you got to work. your forearms it's a lot but the feeling. the feedback you get is unprecedented. it's just like and they say it's even. more so if you get to like those 1970. ones like they take when they do like uh. Chris Harris did that once he took a n I. think it was a 1970 or 71 911t see if. you can find that video it's like Chris. Harris my perfect sports car and so he.

took this 911t and he brought it to this. guy who makes race cars and he had them. fit it with a roll cage and you know. ramp up the engine and tune the. suspension and there's a video of him. driving around the British Countryside. in this green 1970s Porsche and it's. [ __ ]. amazing it's a it's the it's what. everybody loves about driving just in. one video this guy who's an automotive. Enthusiast he can kind of get any car he.

wants I mean Chris Harris is like the. Premier Auto journalist of our time and. he chooses to have this one little tiny. lightweight strip down car that he has. built see have you found. it check this out give me some volume I. need volume is oh no that's not it. that's not it that's the singer DLS is. nasty that's a nasty car too the one. below it the one below it re no not. singer um Chris Harris. 91 put like my perfect sports car 911 my.

perfect sports. car that era of 911 I mean it's very. similar to the muscle car Vibe yes very. that's it right there the second one. down remember the green 911 that. one so this is a car that Chris just. like you know had built over time just. give me to mod levels of which is pretty. cool let it go right there. then we got completely carried away with.

the engine spec and I stomped my feet. like a child until Richard found a later. G50 gearbox and altered the rear torsion. tubes to make it fit oh and the engine. is 3.4 l of handbuilt sexiness and it. has about 320 horsepower and the car. weighs under 1,000 kg and when we drove. it side by side with my then new BMW M3. the Porsche was. quicker the chassis is probably the. trickest bit of all on this car I didn't. just want an RS replica so we went for.

the look of an st which for those of you. less geeky than me on the subject of old. 911s is a car from 1971 with wider. arches than an RS and no duct tail. spoiler so we have eight and 9in wheels. the nines are rare and stupidly. expensive but they do look the business. and that also means we have more. mechanical grip and a wider track and we. needed some trick dampers to deal with. that the internals of the ones fitted to. this car are very similar to the stuff. fitted to Sebastian [ __ ] yeah. that's what I'm talking about who runs.

the joint is to dampers what Gordon. Ramsey is to roast lamb they cost a. horrendous amount of money but are well. worth it why do they sound so much. smarter than we do that's why we use. them for. infomercials dummies buy things from. people with British accent way more. eloquent. ShamWow the ShamWow guy was American. though right that wasn't that guy he was. a wild boy right didn't he get uh like b. a hooker or something like that like. that is that what yeah he got arrested. for biting a hooker I never would have.

guessed seemed like a straight shooter I. think he did that sham wow got that sham. Wow money and started doing ShamWow. money. things an American success story right. there I think he's dead is he dead sham. Wild guy alive really congratulations. sir I think it's the O the oy clean. didn't he have a Coke problem and killed. himself the oxyclean guy did Billy ma oh. he did I'm still trying to get past the. bite and a hooker was that just the. problem with the negotiation on the. front end couldn't you just it depends.

on on the tail end too what drugs he's. on what the hooker did who knows who. knows what happened I don't know the. story very unfortunate for all involved. but um yeah the Billy Mays guy he was. doing a lot of blow and he had a heart. attack or something right is that what. he died from Jamie uh not quite like. that but that I don't I don't want to. really get into it you don't want to get. into it I'm friends with his son oh. that's right that's right I'm sorry j. for bringing that up sorry buddy anyway.

who doesn't like the party look James. Gand delini one of my favorite actors of. all time that's how he went party a. little too hard damn blew the ticker. dude what happen you know leave it all. on the field not that it matters that's. one of my alltime favorite [ __ ] shows. oh my God gandal was the first guy that. you rooted for that was a murderer oh. like he was the hero the hero when he he. murdered Christopher Malto Santi in the. [ __ ] in the the Cadillac yeah spoiler. alert but I mean he was the first uh.

real I think on TV the first real. anti-hero if you really think about it. like yeah that was there anybody before. him Jamie can you think anybody. uh that been like 94 95 The Sopranos was. later than that I believe 2000s yeah I. think it was early 2000s I remember like. thinking when I was watching okay this. is totally different than anything ever. because they can do anything that intro. that that score at the beginning oh that.

it was so annoying being Italian then CU. everybody wanted to talk like they were. in the mob all the the dumbest Italian. Guys in the east coast like hey that's. our [ __ ] thing this is our thing shut. your mouth everybody wanted to be on the. mob was like it's like people mve into. Montana cuz they saw Yellowstone it's. like the same [ __ ] it's enticing man. [ __ ] I watch it hard yeah I watch I want. to be a Rancher be kind so you got to do. Rancher stuff so you got to get up at. [ __ ] 3: in the morning the cattle. that's no joke that's a real work get.

into like shootouts and yeah how are. they getting into so many murders no. you're blowing up buildings like all. kinds of cool [ __ ] you're in their. shoulder deep in a [ __ ] cow trying to. pull out the calf and doing all that. [ __ ] I don't think people realize it's. not just like all about distressed like. leather boots and like you know cool. jackets it's there's some [ __ ] work. there back breaking work yeah but uh. there's this amazing scene where uh this. old cowboy is is talking to this young. guy and he's saying you're you're doing.

art for no. audience like when you're out there what. you're doing is you're doing art for no. audience it's like wow if you really. love that that is what it is that's an. interesting way of looking at it yeah. yeah we're doing it we're Plastering it. all over Instagram and the internet and. YouTube and trying to get everybody to. see it with an audience an a doing art. for an audience it's interesting though. because it is kind of what that is and. there's something about like cattle. wrangling and all that stuff that. somehow or another speaks to human.

beings cuz I think we evolve doing that. and I think like tending to the land and. I think Farmers have that sort of same. feel too there's something about that. that's just like natural with human. beings and it just there's a natural. human reward system that's involved with. cultivating your own food and and being. involved in a farm that I think it just. centers people in a very unusual way cuz. I think it's like your body's designed. for a certain amount of that you know I.

think it's a good thing to even if it's. glamorizing it in an an unrealistic. light and it does make people go and say. they sell their business and they go out. there and they're going to become a. Rancher and then they fail but at least. it is pushing some people that to get. back to that Wilderness living like I. think it's a good thing most most people. aren't cut out for this there's a lot of. people remember that movie with Paulie. Shore was it. son-in-law I'll bet there so much of. that going on out there in Montana oh.

yeah something going on in Wyoming um. Jeffrey Star who's this famous YouTuber. who like is like uh yeah are they. transgender or is he gay or he's he's. very flamboyant very fun but he's like. involved in some dispute with his. neighbor or you said his neighbor triy. to kill him run him off the road and I. don't know what the [ __ ] is going on but. he's making Instagram videos about it. like can you imagine you're some Rancher. and Jeffree Star moves next door have.

you seen seen parties this this he. wouldn't exactly fit in but maybe he. would I mean maybe they're open-minded I. don't I don't know what's going on so I. can't really comment you think he's. going down a tractor supply and buying a. couple bags of feed be fun some car. Hearts who knows yeah car Hearts I don't. think so I don't think. he's running around the field with Lulu. Lemon on I don't know I don't know what. they're doing but it's like I rup Paul. bought a [ __ ]. Ranch too RuPaul bought some giant Ranch.

in like Wyoming lives on a ranch how. many people out there are have been in. that industry they've been in they've. been in Montana they've been in Wyoming. their whole lives and they're making a. fortune off of selling ranching supply. all this stuff that they say for these. people that come in they've just moved. like I'm starting a ranch what do I need. yeah I'm going to set you up so what. you're going to need is ranch starter C. imagine starting a ranch from. scratch what what are you going to do do. you know how to do this are you crazy. Mur how many cows do I need like several.

whole mess of that would actually be a. fun reality show didn't Jeremy Clark do. that did he do something like that. didn't Jeremy Clark start a farm I I. believe he did I did I think he did it. for a television show and uh the same. kind of deal I yeah it's got to be all. encompassing like you'd be exhausted. yeah Clarkson's Farm. yeah episode one. surviving dude it's all changing. everything's changing in this country. cuz they're moving like I mean Austin's.

a good example years ago you know it's. Texas yeah it's just badass [ __ ]. cowboy stuff and now it's well well. Austin was always very blue Austin's. always been like this blue spot in a red. State and it's always been very. Progressive and one of the funniest. things that I've ever seen it's like. pretty accurate said there was a t-shirt. said Keep Austin Weird and. surrounded it's like you need the. balance you need the balance cuz you if. you're in a place like San Francisco or.

La there's no [ __ ] balance right. there's no like Republicans the outside. and progress like even the progressives. here are so much more reasonable than. the progressives in LA because they. encounter like rational opposition to. their ideas all the time yeah and you. know it all that stuff only works in. Urban environments like Progressive. ideology and the the the like the. policies they push with homelessness and. crime and defunding the police that [ __ ].

only works and it doesn't work it. doesn't work at all but it you can only. get away with it in urban environments. of course in the country no one's buying. any of that no you just like people work. too hard it's like if you want to get. byy if you're you're [ __ ] in a rural. area no one's interested in that. nonsense yourself so the beautiful thing. about Texas is Austin is just like small. city is there like a million plus people. not that many right and then there's. another million on the outside and then. outside of it is just.

Texas outside of it is bies and. fireworks dude that's what I'm talking. about gun stores it's like it's ranches. it's like that that keeps Austin. balanced where they don't get too off. the rails they don't go to Portland. we're going to ask you about the. homeless stuff we we were here what two. years ago yeah yeah years ago it was. really really getting it was height of. you know pandemics stuff and all that. but man last night going around it's way.

different yeah they cleaned it up they. did they did it in a very intelligent. way they acquired hotels and they bought. uh buildings and House people and they. have a bunch of different programs they. do to try to help people get back on. their feet and they discourage camping. they won't let people camp you just. can't Camp under the bridges they clean. up your [ __ ] they'll take you out of. there they'll let you know that there's. resources available for you but the real. problem in all these cases is mental. illness that's the real problem mental.

illness and drug addiction and both of. those things kind of go hand inand and a. lot of those folks are like badly badly. addicted to drugs and they can't sustain. themselves they can't support themselves. and uh I don't think encouraging them to. just camp out everywhere like they do in. San Francisco and they actually give. them money for doing that that doesn't. help anybody it's not helping them it's. not helping your community it's terrible. and everybody knows it you don't think. that enabling them and giving them uh. needles and stuff like California does. is beneficial I think they should give.

them everybody's money all the money if. they were Rich they' have no problems. just give them all a million dollars. come on I mean all the money we're. spending in Ukraine there's only like. 2,000 homeless people they could afford. that dude I don't know I don't know if. it kills your problems look at [ __ ]. sham well guy you know I mean different. problems different problems amplifies it. maybe yeah I mean if you just gave them. money it wouldn't help you you really I. don't know what to do I mean I think. that like when a person is that [ __ ]. when their mind is that [ __ ]. and they're they're that far gone in. terms of Life they have no hope and.

they're they're just covered in filth. and they're living in a tent it's like. taking that person and rebuilding them. is a massive project it's probably going. to take as much time to make them normal. as it took for them to get that [ __ ]. up so you think about like childhood. abuse sexual abuse violence uh detention. juvenile system they they've gone. through jail they've gone through so. many different things they they have no. hope that life is eventually going to be.

awesome when you wake up you go to an. awesome job you guys have a cool place. you work with cool people you make. awesome [ __ ] that feels good that's like. a good feeling oh yeah these guys never. have good feelings unless they're. getting high and that's what's that's. the scary thing is so like you get them. out of that and then they're going to be. depressed they have nothing going on. they're 43 years old they've never had a. job like how do you fix that you but you. don't fix it by just letting them camp. out somewhere I mean. I don't know what the solution is. because at a certain point in time it's.

like it's so hard to turn people around. and they have to want to turn around. like so like it has to be in them that. they somehow or another want to do. better because some people don't want to. do better they just want to stay high. you know they just like I feel better. when I'm high I just rather stay high. and they just do get caught in that rut. you got a lot of huge mega churches out. there that aren't doing nothing for them. you got tens of thousands of people in. arenas and I mean they're not doing [ __ ].

I don't think they can do anything man. this is but they're not doing anything. they're not doing anything but I don't. think they can do anything I don't think. I don't know what you can do other than. what they've done in Austin but Austin. is a small like I had the mayor on. stepen Adler and we talked about it and. one of the things that he said was like. I it's my goal before I leave office to. put a handle on this homeless thing if I. don't do that I failed and I think he. did it but the thing with he said was we. can do it because we only only have. somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,000.

homeless people he goes Los Angeles is. unmanageable they have like 100,000. homeless people when you get to that. point Have You Ever Seen Skid Row in. Downtown LA never in it's insane I saw. it in person in the early 2000s before. the pandemic and it was nuts then like I. couldn't believe it and it was. engineered they used to take people when. they would arrest them and dump them off. on Skid Row they' take people and bring. them there like they they literally set.

up these homeless shelters and they set. up these food banks and they set up and. these people just live on this street. it's a zombie movie it's so crazy when. you go down there and when I what is. this this is saying that there's up to. 10,000 people now homeless in Austin. 10,000 yeah 1% of the population what. it's according to the city of Austin's. own count holy [ __ ] is this new yeah I. mean they're all they moved them out of. the downtown area and under the bridges. and they all live out the parks now. apparently like oh in like state parks. not even state parks like city the city.

parks this is Zilker Park I think. they're walking through yeah. wow that's crazy man I didn't know that. so they just got it out of view is that. what they did I believe so so is what it. is is like there's different people that. have to patrol that it might be. different than the cops that are. patrolling people on the streets 168. different camps across the city. wow. wow off off hidden from public view in. the woods for sure dude it's it's kind.

of like you know sweeping the the floor. okay I take everything I said back under. there a little bit they just got it off. the street blew the lid off of that one. they just got it off the streets and now. there's camp back when your mom said. clean the room I did a great job clean. the room right under the rug ho under. the. bed so those all marks on the map that. are homeless encampments yeah as. of uh published February 26 so I think. it as of June and so they think there's. 10,000 people is this like some New York. Post exaggeration I don't know but.

that's what what the Los the Austin city. thinks yeah city city of Austin County. what do we know about homelessness in. Austin wow so if that's the case then. when the mayor was on which was a couple. of years ago the numbers gone up by. 8,000 people there's another crazy story. that's why I was looking while you guys. were talking uh that Mayfair Hotel in La. yeah remember that's come up in a bunch. of documentaries and all sort of stuff. they just paid the city paid $ 11.5. million in Damages because they used. that and what they called project room. key which got a bunch of people off the.

street into housing but immediately uh. drug use damages in the hallways. violence all sorts of stuff and now the. city wants to buy that building for like. 83 million oh wow do what house homeless. people let it stay be in a sh you're. telling me they gave them a free room. and they destroyed it yeah they're a. little you know self-destructive they're. not in the best St of state of. mind yeah I don't know how we got on. that subject yeah you said something. about bies have you seen the bies. they're making no they're building one.

in Mexico but the it's not a bues so. knock yeah they're trying they're got. them cease and desist and all that [ __ ]. and they're still building it did you. see what they did with In-N-Out uhuh in. Mexico they they have uh it's not Inn. out it's it's like. in knee out something like that see like. see copycat it's the same logo it's the. same look yeah so it's not called in and. out what is it.

called so this is this is in K Mexico in. I and out it looks exactly like Inn out. when you go there the burgers are all. the same the trays are the same animal. style the whole thing's the same they. just stole the menu they stole the way. it looks and they barely changed the. name got to applaud their effort there. yeah I mean it's not like they're making. Ferraris it's a [ __ ] cheeseburger you.

know you can make a cheeseburger exactly. like that cheeseburger yeah but you. could also come up with your own name. and name or you could just say [ __ ] you. I live in. Mexico ride the cails yeah what they. could do is just eventually change the. name oh Buck tw's super macato look they. got the [ __ ] gopher on it and. everything same as the bies guy it's not. quite as big as the Texas version yeah. it's a little downsized dude bies is an. impressive establishment though it's a. Walmart you go in there you're like what.

is this this is insane this is at a gas. station oh you you go broke at the beef. jerky bar you been do the beef jerky. like Buffet yeah it's Preposterous man I. mean you got to try a little bit of. everything yeah it's a ridiculous place. it's so Texas that's why I talk about it. on stage because it's it's so [ __ ]. Texas it's so ridiculous speaking of on. stage [ __ ] last night dude thank you. it was phenomenal thank you glad you. guys had a good time dude phenomenal. time you run that place and your whole.

entire staff I mean hats off it's like a. [ __ ] watching an orchestra like. seriously yeah they're all very good. everybody's great it's it's it's it's a. lovely little environment that we've. created it's real fun and everybody. loves it it's like everybody's having a. good time it's it's it's real nice and. you're working your [ __ ] ass off yeah. we're doing a lot of work but it's not. work talking [ __ ] yeah it's fun I don't. know I was D my [ __ ] hats off to you. the way I mean you're busting ass there. and that's I don't know where the [ __ ]. you get the energy from I'm 40 years old.

and I look at you I'm like God damn what. am I doing wrong but I'm used to doing. it I do it every day you know it's. normal yeah yeah it's fun but it's fun. it's just fun you know when you're doing. standup like the hard part is the. writing the writing and the creating new. bits and working them out on stage. that's the the tricky part the hard part. but the fun part is just like having a. good time and people have fun you know. it's just having a good time that's all. you're just making a good time dude. great environment man yeah cool place. yeah it's beautiful it's like just like.

I was saying like you guys have this. great job you go and do something that's. like very rewarding that's what uh. owning a comedy club is like it's like. we're providing this really fun. experience you know it's like you can go. have a couple of drinks laugh have a. great time fun people nice people loving. people it's like fun beautiful. environment there's got there's only a. few like there's probably a few jobs in. in the world that provide that like for. us it's a you almost live there it's not.

a job it becomes a lifestyle right like. the shop it's I spend more time there. than I do anywhere else right because. you're just that's what you do that's. the lifestyle that you live yeah and all. the different personalities have to kind. of like figure their spot and like. figure out how to like get along with. each other yeah that could be a real. issue it can be that could be a very. very interesting issue you we get like. 95 people total oh wow and there's uh. you know different personalities. different talents different.

personalities a lot of it's a bunch they. artists I mean they're Craftsman I mean. imagine having 95 Comics all living in. the same yeah you're going to have. issues especially if they're around each. other all day like we only see each. other at night you know yeah so you go. through your whole day and most of these. guys are like playing golf or doing. something else and then they come to the. club there's I think there's a lot of. sim I mean similari ities in any type of. Art and creation because you are getting.

some of that instant gratification as. far as you're gratifying yourself with. what you're creating but you also get. from that customer and you get stuff. you're doing the same thing and the. comic stuff I mean you're getting it's. not like you're putting in the work now. and then a year from now you'll see if. it paid off or not as far as that joke. you like throughout the night you're. knowing right now if it's hitting or not. hitting or working right there's. something I guess different I mean I'm. looking at like a corporate job of. somebody going in pushing papers and. having to wait for a year review before. somebody said that you actually moved.

the needle or did a good job or whatever. right and how much joy are you getting. from what you're doing every day right. that's the big one because if you can. have a job that pays more money but you. hate it like that's not a good tradeoff. you you want to feel good that's the. that's out of all the things in life. like if you if you get sick what's the. first thing you think like God I I. really should have appreciated when I. wasn't sick I really should have taken. care of myself better I really should. have been more careful I should have got. more sleep I should have take my.

vitamins like whatever and you you vow. like when I get better I am going to. appreciate this and that that applies to. jobs too if you have a job that sucks. and you [ __ ] hate it you hate what. you do and you do it all the time and. you're just in there because you have to. be there all day your day is dread and. if you can get paid less to do something. that makes you feel better that's so. much more. valuable as long as you can get by you.

are so much better off getting paid and. enjoying what you do unless you have a. family and you have to support people. and you have obligations I understand. I'm not saying you should go [ __ ]. risk your life on a whim but I am saying. that like if you can pick a path in life. that is more. enjoyable I feel. like like there's a lot of miserable. rich people it's not that's not the end. all be it's a trap what you really want. us to feel feel good you really want to. feel good about your purpose in life. like the things you do the way it.

impacts other people and that's what you. guys do you guys make sure like the the. look on people's faces when you deliver. those cars I mean dude that's I mean for. us that's that's what gets you out of. bed every morning because it's hard work. you know I'm just like how you're out. there sweating your ass off and busting. your balls and I'm sure sometimes it's. tough building cars the same way I mean. they rip your heart out they challenge. you it is tough tough work but the the. finished product the goal and what makes. it all worthwhile is giv you a car and. you drive it and you're like holy [ __ ]. that thing's badass yeah you know.

doesn't matter if we made money lost. money you know what what's going on. that's the goal that's what I thrive on. you know yeah that was going to be my. point when and you hit on it is you're. coming from the mentality. of you're going to always work as hard. as you have to and then some to be. successful at what you're doing and then. because you've put in the work you're. achieving goals which is what makes you. happy there's people out there that. don't want to put in the work and. they're unhappy because they're not. seeing success but they're not seeing. success or being gratified or being.

happy with what they're doing because. they're not willing to put in the work. either they don't know what to do some. people just have no experience in. putting in the word they don't know what. it what that even means they don't know. what grind yeah they just they didn't. have like one that's one of the things. that I think is very important about. kids with competition any kind of. competition whether it's chess or. whether it's Athletics Sports there's. something about realizing that hard work. equals getting better and hard work. equals performance like you you perform. better when you work hard and you learn.

that like extreme examples are like. wrestling like people who go through. wrestling practice like you realize like. this is hard to do this is and if you. can get good at this you can kind of get. good at anything because if you can push. yourself mentally to deal with the grind. of wrestling practice you can kind of do. anything it's just if you can learn. those that that lesson early on though. about working hard some people don't. ever learn it they just play video games. and eat Twinkies and then one day. they're 40 they're like I got to get my.

[ __ ] together wrestling practice like. you said being at wrestling practice and. doing it hard is hard becoming a good. wrestler is even harder because it's not. just at wrestling practice like you said. it's when you come back from wrestling. practice and thinking that you deserve a. [ __ ] treat because you worked really. [ __ ] hard that day and you need to. eat like [ __ ] or you need to do this or. you get to go and it's all of the. lifestyle to perform at a high level. that's [ __ ] hard not just the act of. doing what you're trying to do well. especially when you get to like a. championship level when you get to like. you know all Americans state champs.

national champs I mean those guys. there's not a stone unturned and those. guys are animals they're they're doing. everything exactly the right way because. the competition is so stiff if you don't. do it the edge between you and another. guy who's equally talented but works. harder he's going to get better than you. he's going to bypass you and you feel it. in practice there's guys that you know. you know are running in the morning. before practice you know these guys are. doing the stairs that those guys have. more gas those guys are more driven and.

you you always notice cuz those are the. guys that win in the training room and. that's the same with jiu-jitsu it's the. same with kickboxing with everything. like any the guys who there's there's. guys that are like very naturally. talented for whatever reason they just. have great genetics and they they learn. things better but often times those guys. don't work as hard like sometimes the. really naturally talented guys are a. little lazy because it kind of came easy. to them and they get outw worked yeah. which the rare ones are the ones that. are super talented and also crazy.

disciplined that's how you get a Michael. Jordan right that's how you get a Mike. Tyson oh yeah you get crazy discipline. and insane talent and insane genetics oh. yeah and then you're [ __ ] cuz you're. not going to beat that person there only. a few of those it's devoting everything. to just winning and like nothing else. matters that's the goal that's the only. Direction you sacrifice everything else. to get to that level yeah I think that's. not good either right. your [ __ ] your life is a disaster but. there's one thing you do you're the best.

at that's interesting too it's it's. competition you either have that. competitive I want to be better or you. don't do you guys make cars like. thinking about shows thinking about like. SEMA and showing people up do you know. we used to do stuff like that you know. where you're like you're competing for. an award but it's not you're never. looking at like I'm going to do this. this because I want to win this award. you're just trying to make the best.

possible car you can and it yeah it's. great like at the finish line if you get. said award and sometimes you've got some. customers that like that you know some. some guys are like trophy chasing or. they like parking the car and sitting at. the show and you know yeah waiting there. for the awards ceremony and getting that. you know half million dollar car and you. get that $50 plaque and it makes it all. worthwhile right but no man I mean for. we've changed gears like quite AIT over. the years that uh for me it's the. Driving Experience you know making a car.

that's like so functional workable. that's just a blast to get in and drive. and it's more rewarding like getting a. guy I like dude comes up to the shop. picks up a car and drives it A Thousand. Miles home that's better than getting. that little plaque you know at a car. show because you blew through an extra. like $700,000 trying to make something. over the top right all for that you know. yeah yeah and most of those cars are not. drivable at that point or you're going. to be scared to death to drive it not.

drivable when you're going to like you. know insane show car trying to win every. D you get it's when you look at our. industry laughing at me no when you look. at our industry it's it's wacky like the. stuff you see that's so over the [ __ ]. top like those hero cars and stuff. that's not something you're going to. jump in and and drive you're not driving. that to work it's not happening when you. say hero cars you talking about like. those Baja racer things you see stuff. that's like. like sea show coverage or like these the.

biggest like the Riddler word like Josh. says you've got these cars that are like. million2 million doll builds right. Chrome plated rotors yeah you and felt. pads you know this is like show car show. car you can't even drive it at all you. can in and out of the trailer yeah and. the tires are all wrapped in Saran Wrap. so the tires don't get dirty and what. yeah really right yeah it's kind of like. that's going away now thank goodness. because of the the audience and the or. the customers are changing right and. they're wanting to use these cars right.

but everybody was so focused on chasing. that trophy or going to a going to a. show and winning that trophy we want to. go and make a good showing for the. company with whatever we bring right but. worrying about a panel of Judges or. somebody judging the car and them. deciding what's cool that would be like. you not having an audience and just. having like Simon Cowell and Paulo Abdul. saying if it was a good joke or not you. know you want you want the gr you want. you to know that you're doing doing good. and by the audience and everybody be. like [ __ ] yeah that's awesome and we. want our customers and you want your.

fans and and and people are bu our. chassis to be like that's [ __ ] cool. what would be the purpose of felt rotors. so it doesn't scratch the Chrome and. stuff like that it's these are show car. it's is it felt pads and chrome rotors. get out of the trailer man that's it. it's almost some paint tires so they. look black and they look always perfect. it's almost like if you look and I don't. want this to sound like disrespectful. but like a competitive body builder. versus like a fighter right they're both. working out they're but the this dude's. building his M he's not using him for.

anything other than flexing him right. right that dude might show muscles. you're talking about show muscles well I. guess you know it's the same thing with. cars like you build these over the top. cars and all they do is they kind of go. up there and they the difference between. like an NFL running back. right that dude's working out cu he. wants to just [ __ ] accelerate down. the field like a rocket ship versus. someone who just wants to who wants like. just be a mass monster right. yeah I just don't understand why anybody. would want to make a car that they're.

not going to drive I just that mindset. that doesn't I don't get that at all. like there's only one reason to have a. car it's strange I mean d there's been. some wild stuff like people that like. take down the side of their garage or. their barn or the top story of their. house and place a car in it and build it. back up and the car lives there forever. it's it's kind of like I mean some of it. I I get it could be like art you can. make something that's absolutely [ __ ]. beautiful and it's an art piece but to. me it's dude you're building cars. because you want to drive them yeah. should be I could see having like a.

really. old like Ferrari sitting in one of them. rotary things that spins around as like. an art piece cuz they're fascinating to. look at sure and driving them is. probably not the best. experience yeah not have you ever driven. like a stock old. GTO no and I never have it's probably. pretty engaging just tons of stock old. muscle cars they're terrible you get in. a C1 Corvette that stock could be the.

worst performing vehicle ever really. yeah the ultimate American sports car. and they're we're always amazed that. they're still on the road that people. don't just wad them up in ditches. everywhere is he that bad oh so bad so. all that stuff you got like the so the. Bronco Market you know that's CRA like. the early Bronco stuff yeah because. those are that is a popular popular. truck and that's one of those things. where somebody sees they just see it and. it they just want it because they think. it's cool and they think they're going. to drive it right like dude you're not. drive that's not your Range Rover okay. you're not going to drive it but that's.

and that's just sure that they want to. drive it it just physically doesn't. perform well enough for them to drive it. but I mean that's what we do is fix all. that [ __ ] you know you get that classic. look of the car but you it functions. like a new vehicle I have an icon Bronco. okay so yeah well that's that's all CH. same thing yeah same thing but even that. it's like it's so raw like the. difference between drive and that and. driving a modern like a G wagon or. something like that it's a joke yeah how. often you drive that thing uh well right.

now it's getting worked on yeah so I'm. getting some upgrades upgrade what do. you upgrade got a coyote in it yeah yeah. supercharging it let's go dude that's. dicey yeah you're thinking about the. Camaro being [ __ ] sketch. go I like a little dice all right. horsepower foot and a half shorter. wheelbase I like a little dicey just. every now and then what do you do with. that that truck's just for like bobbing. around town though yeah it's just for. [ __ ] around yeah I have a a Land.

Cruiser that icon made for me that's. real like performance Land Cruiser it's. like really set up for Offroad yeah and. it's real it's got a um supercharged LSA. in it nice so it's got a lot of power. but it's got those solid axles and it's. lifted and all the good stuff when the. snow came uh you know we had like a snow. pocalypse and everything shut down in. Austin I loved it my car was like a. Labrador Retriever just rolling around. the snow like yay it just want it's like. this is what we're designed for it just.

was it just handled everything so well. like I literally built an apocalypse. truck it's got a big ass gas tank back. seats come out so it could be completely. flat you can store things in it it's got. extra batteries it's got winches and the. whole deal Co what you do about EMP. pulse about well if that happens does. that shut off regular cars mhm how does. it do that fries all the electronics. won't so fry the electronics it runs the. LSA you got have like something runs on. biodiesel you're going down a [ __ ].

Rabbit Hole dude apocalypse bu the Model. T in Hisar that yeah right what would. cause the EMT flare they talk they talk. about China doing an empp flare they. talk about who's the. for what are you reading bro chat. rooms chat rooms is possible that is the. thing about all these uh cars that are. controlled by Electronics it's something. to think about you know these modern. engines these crate engines they all.

come with electronics yeah I don't know. something like that happens I'm just I'm. go out with whatever the [ __ ] going on. I'm not I'm not too worried about that. run around yeah I think you get the. right idea with your apocalypse vehicle. well Jonathan Ward he does some cool. [ __ ] it's all icon stuff right yeah. Jonathan's an interesting cat he is dude. we had him on we do a little podcast we. had him on there he's cool as hell he's. kind of like a competitor I guess you'd. say but we respect him and we had him on. it's he's an eccentric dude man. interesting he's a real artist he's a. real artist and you know he what he's.

doing is interesting too he takes a lot. of cars like you guys do when you do the. Legend Series where he doesn't do. anything to the outside of them he. leaves this funky old patina of like. sunbaked paint and blotches and [ __ ] but. meanwhile inside it's Immaculate and the. suspensions Immaculate and everything. drives incredible I mean he does that. with a bunch of old cars yeah we do. that's like the majority of our business. believe it or not like all the dudes. that have had like really over-the-top.

shiny cool big dollar cars they all want. that find like a old Camaro it's. Priceless right you find a 69 Camaro. that's got faded old paint and it's. unsuspecting flies under the radar but. it's like 8900 horsepower crazy motor. air conditioning power windows full. chassis underneath it a sleeper yeah. well there's something cool about that. too cuz you're not worried about it. getting dirty yeah you know like that's. the thing about people walking up to. their car with the microfiber cloth and. just P everywhere they go it's like come. on man I've only Built patina cars cuz I.

can't stand wiping down my own stuff. after dealing with customer cars and oh. really so your personal cars are all. patina cars really what do you got uh 77. C10 he's got a 76 your's a 77 uh his is. lifted mine's lowered we doing a 70. TransAm Trans Ams were a car the The. Bert Reynolds days those were a car that. still kind of holds up yeah this a. little pre this is pre-ert Reynolds this. is the 70 where it was like those great. that's an ass kicker dude you talk about. like you know that falls right in line. with your Camaro like let me see a 70.

Trans 70 white white with the blue. stripe and it's it's a rare rare car cuz. that's another one it was original paint. look at that yeah that's a dope car yeah. there's something about the hood scoop. and those cars that just like especially. the Bert Reynolds ones have a lot of. people done like Resto mods on those. yeah the Bert Reynold that's one of. those things where it's like that Jesus. Christ what is that thing yeah it's wild. race car thing one your SEMA kind of. builds but the Bert Reynolds one so many.

people have done that that's a car the. 70 dud that's a car that like that. proves you can buy cool cuz you buy that. I don't care who the [ __ ] you are you're. driving that you're a bad [ __ ]. that's a that's a cool car it's a cool. car yeah does those those old trucks. lend themselves to that patina look. don't they they do so I drive I drive a. 77 it's 4x4 it's it's one of those. Legend trucks that's the. picture of it it's on the well if you. just Googled like Roadster shop Legend.

77 truck it comes up there's a bunch of. Articles and stuff on it but that's what. I daily drive it's yeah that tan one. that's shredding the blue one's mine tan. one's his where's where's the tan one. the upper left uh yeah any yeah the down. low down there that's it yeah yeah. that's it just getting after it so. what's that got in it that's a 650 horse. supercharged lt4 but it's all like. independent front suspension p push. button four-wheel drive oh wow that's. yeah I drive I leave it outside I don't. park it in the garage cuz my kids toys.

are all filling up you know one half of. the garage and that's my daily. Transportation wow that's a sleeper huh. yeah holy [ __ ] yeah that thing just. wrecks dudes and like you're I drive a. lot of cool fast [ __ ] we fogging. customer cars but that truck it's like. anytime I drive it there's some dude in. like a C8 or some badass muscle car and. I just ruin their day constantly in that. [ __ ] put it fourwh drive it's probably. pretty light it's not yeah it's like uh. yeah probably four little over 4,000 lbs.

for a big ass truck that's pretty light. that thing scream that's like a modern. Mustang right yeah yeah you're right in. line with any of that stuff yeah which. is pretty crazy with 650 horsepower and. it's a truck it's essentially like a. 2018 2019 Chevy truck it's got all the. new Chevy suspension under it. independent front the live axle and I. mean it's got the radiator module the. cooling stack I mean under the under the. hood and underneath is like a brand new. Chevy truck does it handle like a brand. new Chevy truck hand like a brand new.

truck dude yeah 100 miles hour down the. highway one hand on the wheel wow yeah. but there's something cool about that. like you talked about the patina and the. thing we've got so many of these. customers we're building a dozen of. these things right now for guys we built. other cars for but it's like a old pair. of boots or old pair of jeans that you. can't buy a new pair that would fit like. that right so they you're finding these. like we got one that's like a. Northwestern like Oregon or Washington. like uh State uh park truck right it was. that green and it's that thing had what.

20 something thousand original miles on. it original paint a cream puff interior. is cool and then the another guy's. finding one he's like well that's Matt. Matt. Saxon that's his yeah yeah you're yeah. he sent me pictures of that yeah yeah. it's pretty dope you're still able to. build a one-off car that can't be. duplicated because you're finding. something super unique and original that. mother nature weathered for you yeah. then have something that nobody else can. have you're finding stuff that came from. fire departments or old ranches I mean. guys are searching all because you want.

that little bit of that story of like. nobody's going to recreate this truck. that yeah there's my car yeah oh baby. look at that [ __ ] thing son what a. what a sexy car I never get tired of. looking at that one well I told you guys. a story about why I was infatuated that. car when I was 16 years old my friend. picked me up in one his his buddy was. driving it was his car and I was I. remember being in the car thinking how. can someone own this how is it possible. that this could be like you you could. have this someone can have this this is. insane cuz it was so cool what what year.

what era same exact when for me yeah. when going down I guess it was 82 83. somewhere around there 16 yeah I was 83. yeah and I remember just thinking this. is the most insane thing I can't believe. a person could own this car it was just. so cool and he he ran out of gas it was. really funny and coasted right into the. gas station and stopped like right at. the pump I'm like this is the coolest. guy live he has a chevel he runs out of. gas the perfect time on a hill and. coasts into the [ __ ] gas station to.

do that like literally we were laughing. like filled the gas tank like at right. there well the chevel the Camaro and now. the Cuda are three very similar yet. completely different vehicles in all way. but you each one of them has their place. like I don't know you you feel different. driving the chevel like you want to it's. a different state of mind OG [ __ ] W. you feel like Matthew MCC are do you are. you friends with you buddies has he seen.

it uh no he hasn't seen it I told him I. have it though oh that like that shaped. my career right that [ __ ] movie and. that car and then here that's why that. car exists is because of him I me Matt. came to us to build one we're like it's. it's going black and white dude 100%. that's this is what you're getting black. and white is the best look there's cools. I've seen some cool ones that are silver. with black stripes that's a pretty cool. look good second but number one it's. black with white stripes for that car. there's other ones like the red with. white stripes like it's not as tough red. with black stripes is pretty what was.

that movie Reacher he had a red with. black stripes yeah name it's not bad no. not as cool as werson though [ __ ] but. just some sometimes like with a certain. shape that color just like color. combinations are just iconic yeah you. know yeah that car the the body lines in. the side of it it's got these like you. know cool little hips and eyebrows and. the body lines and the black makes it. pop yeah it's just a a again that's that. era where they just figured some [ __ ]. out that wacky dude in his crazy suits.

well how do how do you pick that like. you got the chevel sitting there and the. Camaro sitting there what frame of mind. are you and you're like I'm taking the. chel I don't know what's what's the. decision process the chel is the loudest. and least civilized out of all the cars. it's the most Rowdy cuz it's got that. 454 in it you know naturally aspirated. it sounds insane and it's so like in the. interior of it looks exactly like except. for the dash looks exactly like the. original car it's much more of a. throwback you know that's like asking.

what album you're going to listen to. yeah like what mood it's like yeah yes. well that's what I was getting at you. kind of I like that one's my my favorite. Matt would send it back to the shop when. we were doing Road tours or something. and we'd you know do the basic service. work and then ship it to wherever he was. going and get in and just rip first. second third in that car and it was just. smile ear to ear like [ __ ] yeah this is. why we do this [ __ ] you did that cuz. you're rolling that [ __ ] through the. high schools trying to pick up them high. school girls man all right all. right did you have to roll your sleeves.

up or did it do it automatically it did. automatically when it came in yeah hair. kind of grew out a little bit. longer yeah that look of the rolled with. the cigarette in the upper sleeve. where'd that go that went away it did. it's probably a blessing that was like a. cool look for guys for a while they. would roll a pack of cigarettes up in. their sleeve remember that I think you. should bring it back I've never. unfortunately never have done that. cigarettes in the sleeve look at him all. right all right all. [Laughter].

right I don't know why they ever did. that I don't I wasn't around for that. era you'd think you'd have pockets maybe. jeans were too tight for Pockets think. so I think people was just weird back. then just they're just lost they just. showing everybody off that they smoked. you they had no internet they didn't. know what to do they were just trying to. imitate cool people they didn't know. what to. do it's the beginning of modern culture. culture yeah that's as cool as it gets. for me right there what's left on the. bucket list for.

cars I don't know I don't know I'm just. enjoying what I got right now that's how. I'm kind of doing it's like come on I. got a lot of cars yeah it's a lot to. look after yeah stressful isn't it no no. stressful for being poor is. stressful guess looking after cars is. just a thing it's just a thing that you. do it's not stressful just a thing you. know got to do things yeah yeah I. accumulate too much crap and it stresses. me out you know it can if you let it.

[ __ ] with you yeah but that's like. hoarders you. know the ultimate example of it you're. not there yet. lifestyle look at all this [ __ ] going on. [ __ ] eBay now all these people that I. mean even just like iPhone the iPhone. one is going for big [ __ ] money and. like all these electronics that nobody. like no those no keia phones that were. bulletproof or whatever going for big. [ __ ] money on the internet all this. [ __ ] from our era that we threw out in. [ __ ] shoe boxes or was in the kitchen. drawer and [ __ ] how much you paying for.

iPhone ones iPhone ones are going for. Big Money. $60,000 get out of here find one in a. package still what do you do with it. package yeah that's the big. problem how weird is that how weird is. that someone would give you $60,000 for. a phone that sucks did you see them last. week they were talking this this is on. the news or whatever uh this is all dumb. useless knowledge but that's your area. of exper they were selling the iPhone if. you had had an iPhone that hadn't been. updated that still had the Twitter logo. and not the new X logo they were selling. those for big money I swear but it'll.

automatically upload if you get on I. guess if you got a broke phone that you. if you can it won't automatically upload. I guess somebody has all your apps will. suck what's wrong with you who's going. to spend big money for a phone just. because it still got the old Twitter. logo like what's the dorks the same kind. of people that have felt rotors in their. cars there dorks out there just people. like weird [ __ ] I just thought I don't. understand like when post Malone was on. here he told me he paid $2 million for a.

magic the Gathering. card dude that's a bit much I. would a little nerdier than I thought he. was oh he loves that [ __ ] yeah when I. was hanging out with him backstage after. a show he's like we're going to go play. Magic at the Gathering you want to come. I'm like no see but dude that's you guys. have a good time sleep that's what. happens like I remember the magic the. Gathering kids in high school and you're. [ __ ] with them right yeah but now. they're Co they grow up be post Malone. like who [ __ ] who's laughing at post. Malone most of them do not the vast.

majority do not grow up to be post. Malone yeah but yeah he I mean he's into. it I mean what who knows why people are. into what he's into muscle cars too he's. got a crazy Hennessy six wheel Raptor. it's like a velociraptor with the four. wheels in the back man that's that's. definitely like a that's a statement. piece I guess is the polite way of put. that I just don't understand that car. would you drive one of those uh yeah if. I had one I'd drive it like why would.

you have one uh I have a Hennessy I have. a. TRX yeah I have a th000 horsepower TRX. it's ridiculous the six wheel though. always just seems like it's the Eastern. European villain from the one of the. Fast and Furious franchise movies from. Despicable Me bruise car it's just a. little yeah he says he can't park it he. says he goes to Applebees and it sticks. out and he feels bad cuz it's like. [ __ ] jutting into the next him going. to Applebees is the is the punchline of. that story he loves Applebees really.

yeah post loves Applebees damn he get. the I wonder if he gets the sampler over. there dude the [ __ ] the sampler [ __ ]. that applebe I'm with them. dude Applebee has some fans you know. comfort food Jack the Jack Daniels. barbecue that was TJ T Friday you. confusing your shitty restaurant I'm. sorry what's it thousand horsepower in a. TRX what's it's ridiculous you use so. fast you use the power at all you get I. mean you kind of do I mean what it does. it just does like Accel normal.

acceleration much quicker that's post. has a black one I think is it white oh. yep that's it okay I saw oh with the. photo that we showed of his the other. day was Blackwood it must not have been. his unless he got a new one but yeah. he's he's a wild fell I'm not going to. say [ __ ] he's he's into some cool [ __ ]. good for him [ __ ] get whatever the. [ __ ] you want that's got to be a heavy. ass truck too that's a lot of weight. that's a lot of that's just a lot of. think a lot of things going on to be.

honest with you Josh Josh has a raptor I. can see you modding that thing out. adding a second set of wheels to it no. you can't that's kind of your style a. little bit they they like to [ __ ] with. me all parking that thing [ __ ] long. ways in front of the shop in the morning. you could put the Doberman in the front. seat of it does seem like a waste of. time a little bit why not put two in the. front too how about how about three in. the front if I got six wheel Raptor I've. got a mini giraffe I'm not [ __ ] with. a doberman at that point I'm just doing. a mini giraffe yeah just a giraffe with.

his head out the. window not know what the [ __ ] going on. well have you guys ever had someone come. to you with a project and you're like I. don't want to do this uh you know things. have changed over the years I'll say. that I'm sure it's similar to your. career like when you got first started. young Joe Rogan like somebody came to. you for some TV show thing or something. you're like yeah sure I'll do that and. are. youth early days we we painted a [ __ ]. car like a lobster for a guy dude it's.

yeah didn't think we were. going car I don't have any shame I'll. disclose it right was like 194 to 30. something Hollywood Graham that somebody. hot rotted and he's in the seafood. business so he wanted it painted like a. lobster so we legitimately took this. thing and airbrushed every it it it. looks like a [ __ ] lobster right is it. online I don't think we put that on the. that off yeah uh just cuz you're worried. someone else would ask for something. yeah I want mine to be a clam it's yeah.

it's out there somewhere but no I mean. it where we're at now you know we've got. such a massive backlog of work that you. can yeah I don't want to do something. that you want to be a little passionate. about it right so if it totally sucks. yeah right kind of politefully decline. that it's just not really for most most. of the customers that are coming that. are legit and they want something built. they're coming because they're they're. fans or they're followers they they. again like artists not to put ourselves. on anything but they've seen the work. you've done previously and they're like. I want a roader Shop version of whatever.

right do your thing [ __ ] a I mean. you've been great about that like I. [ __ ] want a chel whatever the bad. part is when it's a video that launches. or anything that goes up you get a. massive influx of customer emails Phil. has to usually deal with those and it's. the ones that unfortunately you have to. get back to everybody treat everybody. like the same but if it's a I've got a 9. to Corsica and I want to do it rear. wheel drive with an LS how much would.

that cost well we all know that that's. probably not if you had the money to. build the Corsica you wouldn't own a. Corsica you know what I'm saying you. would have something else you'd be. calling about a Camaro or something like. that unless you're eccentric Rich dude. yeah those no none of those have pay. paid out not corsas I don't even. remember what a Corsa looks like it's. like the remember the shitty uh. front-wheel drive GM cars that were like. have you had anybody come to you and say. they want to build something like this. up oh yeah happens all the [ __ ] time.

it's 10 a week. constantly yeah basically to change. anything from what it is if it's. front-wheel drive they want to make it. rear wheel drive it's rear wheel drive. let's make it front-wheel drive let's. make it all-wheel drive let's make it EV. right now the EV thing is is stupid. let's ev Everything because or un it un. I've got a Tesla let's put an LS in it. you know I Know Rich Ben W did you know. a lot of stuff there but it's always I. just these guys just want to [ __ ] with. [ __ ] let's just let's do something that. wasn't done interesting and it's not.

about because it's cool or let's make. something beautiful let's make it usable. let's just [ __ ] with it so do you guys. have like a large backlog now of people. that want to do projects we do yeah I. mean on the car build side you we. probably at any given point we're. working on. 30ish projects and it's I mean it's a. couple years to get something going damn. but like the bulk of our business our. our focus is chassis manufacturing so. you know we build I mean over a thousand. performance chassis a year and that's uh.

that's the fun one where you can take on. those projects like that like dude calls. there's a brickland kit car that was. just in the shop we've got donks that. come through there and step Vans. delivery van like crazy stuff because. fire truck somebody else is going to. spend we're we'll build the chassis. somebody else is going to take it from. there right and another shop to doing it. you know what a bricklyn looks like. you'd look good a bricklyn f what's a. bricklyn what is it it was a froms SV or. whatever they put him on a Corvette.

chassis Wing doors and it was oh God for. drug dealers or guys that play Magic the. Gathering kind of card guys yeah no. these would be successful hobby shop God. look at that thing successful hobby shop. owner is perfect exactly successful. hobby shop owner is hilarious that's a. hilarious description wow what a gross. piece of [ __ ] oh yeah. that think's awful that thing's awful. yeah but the following the shop that's. building it and the customer they've got.

a vision they're going to take that and. and modernize and do a bunch of crazy. cool [ __ ] but I can see that I've seen. people do stuff like that with like uh. ferar with Ford uh. f40s you know yeah I've seen them do. stuff like that it's pretty interesting. you know like mod them and widebody them. and that car is Tiny that's a tiny. little car on which car the Ford like. the original Ford GT the original one. not the 2005 one what is it called the. not F40 what is it called GT GT40 GT40.

that's a SI car SI car but a lot of. people have done things to those like. taken them and like extremely modded. them and put twin turbo engines in them. and wide bodied them and [ __ ] it's just. like wow yeah well Su performance. brought those back so they made it. available because you can get like an. exact reproduction of that car oh really. they're starting with kit card to do. that the original ones are worth. millions who does that superformance. they do a ton of them Sue. Su super super superformance oh okay.

yeah they do a lot of the cobras and. stuff and uh [ __ ] badass it's a. nicely built piece but that's a car you. don't need that kind of power I mean. that thing's like this big yeah they're. so tiny that's why it's crazy that. people are putting like twin. turbocharged thousand horsepower engines. in and [ __ ] yeah there you go wow that'd. be along the lines of the the porser. you're talking about just analog holy. [ __ ] look at that thing yeah they do. they do a good job so they build a brand. new one it's brand new built exactly.

like the original car was built except. the body is not aluminum wow it's it's. Shelby licensed it goes in the register. too and is it uh is it all modern. suspension and it's exact duplicate of. what was there so it it drives like the. original car yeah I think they got like. a ZF trans axle in them or something. like that which would be like a panta. kind of transaxle I coilovers and brakes. but yeah but that's it yeah so just some. suspension components little mild. upgrades and same horsepower as they do.

in Modern Motors yeah you can put. whatever you want in them but that's a. good example that's like the Porsche. example like put the right like 500. horsepower in that that thing's going to. be a thrill right just an absolute blast. to drive yeah and if you went too much. it'd probably be unmanageable right yeah. especially like Mid Engine like that. that's yeah yeah it's interesting how uh. mid-engine cars like there's like like. in America all we have is the Corvette. right that's what we've got now I mean. now you get the Corvette you got the new. GT which isn't isn't exactly mainstream.

is the the C8 yeah and the I have the. old GT I have a 2005 that's that's a rad. car it's a rad car but it's like there's. only a few of those right that's not. like but as far as production cars like. the Corvette is like the first time. America has like made like a mass. production car yeah you've never. gravitated to the the newer vets have. you I don't like the automatic if they. had a stick I'd buy one they just don't. they don't do that anymore for whatever. reason it's like I just think they're. missing out on what's fun about driving.

a car it's like Porsche still gets it. Mustang still gets it but they don't get. it when you get up to like the gt500s. that was the old thing about the old. GT500 you could only get it in a stick. yeah yeah I had like a. 2011 or something like that it was great. that that was a scary car I've driv a. couple of those [ __ ] great I loved it. it was way before trash control or. anything like that that thing was just. it was super squirly super squirly like. around corners and [ __ ] but it was fun. like you knew what it would do like you. could hand but it was also like just a.

thrill to drive the rumble it was very. old school muscle cares but with like a. you know a new look to it but it handled. like an old it didn't handle like a. great handling car it had a solid rear. axle and you know just. overpowered besides Tesla what's the. fastest car you've owned the Tesla's the. fastest by far by far and above all the. other other ones it just buries them all. um but I have a 911 GT3 RS from Shark.

works and that's a 2007 and it has like. 518 horsepower and it sounds like a. dragon yeah that thing's pretty [ __ ]. fast and the handling on the thing is. extraordinary yeah it's so good it. handles so it's so thrilling you feel. everything in that car and it's so. capable that's a great car that's those. are. good wheelbase like Square short yeah. just yeah and you get used to that Asin.

and that power coming out of that right. behind you you you know it's very. intoxicating it's a totally different. feel in the handling where the balance. is of the car isn't that like a when. that thing slides out isn't it kind of. like a narrow window before it's. gone yeah it's It's Tricky for sure you. got to know what you're doing you know. you can't just stomp on the gas when. it's sliding you know you're not Chris. Harris you know just be careful don't do. anything stupid see what's that Cuda. feel like pushing it through those same.

you got some killer windy roads by you. what's that Cuda feel like compared to. it handles really really well Porsches. well that's it's big right it's a big. car so it's a little different it's a. different kind of experience um but it. it handles so well for because when. you're describing the balance of it with. the rear transaxle that totally makes. sense to me because you feel that while. you're driving it it's like really. balanced you know and it's just glued to. the road too it's great kids or wife. into them at all they give a [ __ ] NOP.

don't like them at all my kids do. sometimes they think it's fun but my. wife thinks they're just loud and noisy. she think they look pretty they look. pretty but they're just loud and noisy. damn than what about your family do they. get sick of them uh my son's my. daughter's in college she's always been. kind of into cool [ __ ] but uh my son he. didn't care nothing about anything car. related until he was 15 and then now. it's it's all it is but again he's I.

mean you know he've met him and his. Conor McGregor still his Idol you know. and he wants to live the Connor life oh. no he wants to be on a yacht it's. difficult to live the Conor life on a uh. on a 16-year-old budget yeah it's. difficult to do it on a Connor budget. that guy has to keep making tons of. money that that lifestyle is crazy yeah. but he's uh he's into it he's got a. we've been fixing up a little little. Audie coup for him and he's into it [ __ ]. and then their kids are both younger.

both their sons are full my son's a nut. with that stuff dude he drove with me in. your Cuda out to Columbus Ohio when we. were kind of shaking that thing down and. he's he at 12 years old he knows more. about that car and just cars in general. than just about anybody you know that's. it he's into it yeah well it's you know. it's fun it just speaks to people yeah. for him for being a kid I mean that's. what's cooler than that like if you know. you look like kids are playing with. Matchbox cars and like his dad's.

building the real ones like full scale. do you think we're ever going to come to. a time in this country where internal. combustion engines are outlawed I don't. think so man I really don't I think it's. I think you're going to see that like. come full circle just in my opinion. oh outlawed are gone away because. alcohol was outlawed as once for for as. well yeah yeah take California out of. the equation though I mean that but. that's what they're doing is crazy you. can't buy new internal combustion. engines after.

2035 and I think this is like 20s. something other states fixing to adopt. it the same way because you can do it. without a vote yeah it's crazy they did. it without a vote I don't think it makes. sense I really don't I don't think. there's enough minerals in the ground I. don't think they just the mining alone. that would have to happen and the the. reality of what happens in that mining. like people need to understand what. they're talking talking about they're. talking about batteries like the this. idea that batteries just come from. fairies and that now all of a sudden you.

have this like zero carbon impact. vehicle like that's nonsense that's. complete total nonsense you you're. ignoring the entire supply chain process. of what it takes to make that what is. with people that they don't they won't. recognize they don't want to recognize. that some people didn't know about it. until I had this guy on my podcast said. Darth Cara who wrote a book about it and. he went to the Congo to show these. illegal Minds like what they're doing I. mean it's not illegal there's no law. right but they have children working in.

these mines they have women working in. these mines with babies on their back. and they're they're they're mining toxic. Cobalt and this stuff is I mean there's. no protection's no safety the these. people are like chipping this [ __ ] out. of the ground and that's a a good. percentage of all the Cobalt that's. involved in electronics and batteries. and cell phones and all the things that. we need. and it's not very publicized it's it's. this man exposed it and he risked his.

life to do it and he he wrote a great. book about it and the podcast was it was. insane like listening to his story and. how he risked his life to get this. footage and you know and there was. several times where there was men with. guns and he got questioned and he had. you know a bunch of people that were. helping him but he got out of there. eventually with this reality that. everybody now is faced with it's like. this is how they get the stuff that you. need to run your cell phone like stop. thinking that you know you have zero.

impact if you're buying this you're. contributing to this we all are and we. don't want to keep our [ __ ] heads. buried in the ground and pretend it's. not happening and to say that like. everything has to be electronic like. slow down like where is this coming from. who's making it who what what are the. conditions like in the places where the. people have to put your phone together. what are the conditions like do you know. no foxcon has Nets around the building. cuz people were jumping off what yeah.

where they make iPhones they they put. Nets around the building cuz so many. people are committing. suicide they run right out the windows. they're working constantly they work. constantly they sleep there they beds. underneath their desks or their work. areas and it was sleep underneath work. sleep work show the photo of the uh Nets. around Foxon it's bananas look at that. Jesus Nets emploees are listening it. could be worse you you know how Wild. that is like if you're going to jump off.

a building you can't do it here get out. of here or if you do you better have. good aim man you got to aim for where. there's no net how do you explain that. to people like when you're walking. Executives into the building we've had a. huge bird problem we've had a huge bird. problem how crazy that is you've had so. many people commit suicide and your. solution is put Nets around the building. those people just go up to the top floor. [ __ ] this bang I want it to be. just lock them like all the casinos do. just lock the. windows you get to the roof maintenance. there's just got to be like better.

representation of both sides so that. people understand well really we should. be making phones in America and they. should be American in America American. wages where people get health and dental. and all the stuff you're supposed to get. and you you have a living wage that's. what it's supposed to be and if your. phone cost a little more to do that and. if I if Apple makes a little less that's. how it's supposed to be you're not. supposed to be using slave labor to do. stuff and you know we don't have an. ethical Choice it's not like if you want. to be a part of today's society you kind.

of have to have a smartphone if you're. answering emails and doing business it's. way more convenient to do that than not. have one and there's not like this like. very obvious ethical Choice like hey. this company only uses high paid labor. everybody has Insurance there's none of. that if they only work x amount of hours. a day there's none of that you you you. get these things and they're all. manufactured. overseas if is it 2030 is the year is. that what California's law I think it's. 2035 yeah if if they were to do that and.

say it was Nationwide right and no new. cars after 2020 2035 can beat but they. don't touch I mean obviously you're not. going to be able to do anything with. what's existing any of the ice Motors. that are out there that's it's going to. be like Judge Dread yeah imagine what. the cost of like a. 2020. F-150 would be worth then. more desirable or less desirable I mean. there's I mean I would assume that at. least 50 something per of the population.

is going to be like [ __ ] that I'm I'm. never going that I'm going to keep. buying my yeah my gas Motors right well. the the thing that always is going to be. an issue with uh cars is charging them. takes time right so you have to sit. there so if you're if you're fully out. of juice and you're on like a cross. country trip how long does it take when. you go to those supercharger stations to. get you up to 100% % again how long is. that it's a few hours yeah longer than. you want to be sitting there so DN with.

Rising crime and having places where you. know people are going to be stuck and no. security especially in places like La. good luck with that oh yeah my friend. Eddie was telling a story the other day. about he almost got robbed at a gas. station and he realized these guys were. coming towards him and he got out just. in time and he's like you know how you. you you've been in your car so many. times that you can just. you know where everything is instantly. you don't have to fumble he says if. that's what saved me that I just jumped. in my car and I knew had a and I was.

just moving already crazy the guy was. moving towards him dude that's a little. bit like the net scenario though like. what's the problem that we're not. solving that like why the [ __ ] are there. Nets why why are you afraid to go sit. there and charge your car at the gas. station you're going to get [ __ ]. robbed for sitting there for an hour is. nobody looking at uh Airline travel and. the way planes are made with doing. anything away. with doing electric motors on that kind.

of. [ __ ] there's a concept that's currently. being developed for a solar powered. plane I talked to a guy about it like. over a year ago and they're explaining. it and they they have I think they've. done a bunch of test flights and they're. you know about and it's going to be able. to go a long way I just don't. know I don't know how that works you. know I don't I don't know like how much. how much range does it have how safe is. it like you know you don't want you want. to be an early adopter not when you're.

in like flying cars like you see flying. cars like yeah I'm going to sit that. out keep an eye on it you know how many. going to fly into power lines you know. how many people are going to fly into. trees and start forest fires I think. they when they announc that in. California was it like the next day they. also had an announcement for people to. stop charging their cars because week. later what a [ __ ] please don't charge. that's the other thing it was too hot. and it maxed out the grid if everybody. had an electric car The Strain on the. grid would be.

Monumental I don't know if most grids. the way they're set up right now would. be able to handle that like if everybody. had an electric car wouldn't that take. like substantial upgrades to the grid. yeah dude it's just infrastructure Joe. we just take you just like we just. invest in infrastructure man I like how. you saying it like it makes sense you're. so confident you think they're worried. about all of that stuff they know that. it's impossible that's why you push it. out to a it just looks really good on. the ballot it does look really good on. the ballot that's part of the problem is.

there's a lot of people have these. knee-jerk reactions to like very complex. nuanced problems like the environment. like I had Mike Baker on uh yesterday. and we we talked about this and one of. the things you're saying like the vast. majority of the pollution the carbon. emissions in the world is coming from. China and India that's the vast majority. of it and they're not going to change. they're not going to change what they do. no matter what we do we're not going to. put a dent in what they're doing and. there's a bunch of people that think. that the way to get us out of this and.

the way to mitigate climate change in. terms of like human impact on it is. actually to build up poorer communities. and get them on electrical system get. nuclear power to these places or so or. something and like Elevate their. standard of Life you'll have less. pollution you'll have less you'll have. less Pro you you'll definitely have less. issues in terms of like Health. consequences the people that live there. and in turn as they become more you know.

uh sustainable they live a better life. their lifestyle is better you you'll. have less. pollution they just need it just people. need to be incentivized like they need. to have some sort of like there's places. in the world that have no hope and they. just burn tires they don't give a [ __ ]. like they're not thinking about the. environment they're thinking about how. do I get by how do I stay alive I'm back. to your point on making stuff here I I. don't know the numbers but I'm wondering.

what if you were to say in 10 years. we're requiring 90% of every single. thing we use to be made in the USA right. so you cut out all that air freight and. all that that freight line all the. shipping the shipping is huge everybody. talking about providing jobs if we take. if we take all that [ __ ] what does that. do for the carbon footprint if we're not. shipping all all those freighter we're. building that [ __ ] here I've goog you. Google that and granted this is just me. like looking at Google doing Google.

research but look at what look at what a. container ship us uses in fuel. consumption it's [ __ ] insane it's. like the equivalent of like every single. vehicle in the United States like in a. in annually like just back it seems like. a huge dent you would put in it by us. making the [ __ ] here and using it here. that would be a big dent that would be. massive. there's I mean that's obviously a. long-term project unfortunately when. manufacturing really kind of like got. out of the United States when they.

started shipping and building cars. overseas and and ruined Detroit I mean. Detroit just fell apart that Roger and. Me movie you guys ever see that never SE. never heard of it you never heard of it. it's um what the [ __ ] his name. Jamie Michael Moore Michael Moore that. guy uh it's a great documentary and it's. about Flint Michigan it's about um right. after they closed all the plants down. and everybody just had nothing they had. nothing to do and just like the city.

collapsed and all that happened because. they wanted to make [ __ ] cheaper yeah. they wanted to pay people less and it's. uh more profitable for them to have uh. you know their manufacturing plants in. other countries dude it's nuts that was. and that the one song for Whitey the. other day you you know Whitey Morgan. country yeah I've heard the name we he. was on the podcast and we went to he did. a local show and stuff like that he's. from Flint and his his dad and Granddad. worked in the auto and he does has a.

song and he was yeah we were talking to. him about like Michigan it came up. because you know we go to shows in. Michigan and Michigan's got a very like. Southern redneck pocket right very it's. weird because of how North it is but he. talked about all the people from the. South moved up there for all these Auto. jobs and all the wages right and it just. it's that area but he talked about the. same thing when it when they shut it. down I mean it just killed that [ __ ]. specifically Flint that's where he's. from it's a horrible story and they did.

that because they wanted to make more. money imagine knowing that you're going. to just destroy thousands of people's. lives like. instantly like yeah I want to make more. money I'm not trying to put you on blast. I really want to know on a a normal let. where this is going on a normal I like. how the kids say that these days put you. on blast well on a purchasing decision. when you're going to buy something how. big how does that weigh on you knowing. that it's made in America well I'd like. to buy everything made in America if it.

was possible I would like to buy. everything made somewhere where people. are paid fairly right that's what we. that's like what should be the normal. ethical exchange for everything if you. go to a restaurant you want to know that. everyone's being taken care of and paid. fairly you know you you go to buy a car. from you guys you want to you want to. pay you for your work it's like very. it's a good exchange that's that's what. I think I like to think about and the. thing that bums me out is if you're. buying something that you know is made.

by people that are essentially slaves. yeah I mean the people working in Fox. what what options do they have like what. do they do is there an option to only. work eight hours a day no like it's. probably not what it's probably insane. they're using young people to do it. too it's all [ __ ] sketchy is there. any americanmade Electronics there. American phones no I don't believe there. is is there is there an americanmade. cell phone that I'm not aware of there. will be but I'm still like we've looked. this up before there will be soon other.

electronics is a better question that's. we're going to Pivot to that it's going. to be the freedom phone dude like. [ __ ] walkie talk it's suck Wings it's. going to be like an 8-year-old Android. it's going to suck. cost1 it's going to be a it's going to. burn your car sure you got to plug it in. dude it's you know you remember when. those Samsung phones were exploding. they're catching. you imagine being in the head of PR for. that phone call hey we've got a problem.

a real I remember when they're making. people shut them off on planes you to. shut them off yeah if you have a Samsung. device shut your phone off I was like. that is discrimination did you I've been. on WE I've been boarding on a plane and. you see the shame of like the people. that don't want to admit they're like. hey you have a Samsung phone like nobody. wants to be I've unfortunately Ely I've. I've been a Samsung guy I'm an Android. guy do you do you um still do they still. give you a hard time about having no no.

they. don't do because on a text chain you. know it's yeah you [ __ ] it up and make. it green why do you want to stick with. that platform it's interesting like. people real Rebels they stick with that. platform yeah I like I mean I like the. Google integration everything Google. through everything um but yeah I guess. there is a little bit of Rebel fact I. probably would have if I would have. gotten the [ __ ] for a while honestly I. never like thought you were that badass. until you brought that up that's pretty. [ __ ] W [ __ ] off that's some that's. some serious Rebel [ __ ] right there yeah.

Green text oh yeah all my [ __ ] texts. come through green [ __ ] your blue text. message thing is it doesn't come nobody. can see I don't like having the whole. everything like apple uh iPhone iCloud. all the stuff like you have to have so. many everything's linked together it's. just a [ __ ] phone and if I do a Gmail. you know it automatically I it's simple. I'm I'm probably simpleminded that's why. I like it no you just like it it's okay. there's two choices the good one and the. Android are the videos tiny on your.

phone when you look at them too yeah. they [ __ ] suck but my videos are. great but why is that that's the dumbest. thing like but the thing is like Apple's. very smart about that with imessage. because if they just allowed people to. send text messages with the same you. know thing with imessage where you get. full length video like their full. resolution full full resolution. photographs but nope they compress the. [ __ ] out of that [ __ ] like second class. citizens I mean but if you send one to. your friends with another Android phone.

does it come out normal yeah it's full. it's full you don't know anybody else. that has an Android phone you don't even. know guessing totally guessing I looked. at his face my feel he's. lying the uh you you can share like you. can go through the Google share thing. and it's you know full but seems awesome. Google. share yeah remember when they tried that. Google Plus Google plus this is we don't. need other social media that didn't work. that's what's fascinating about social. media it's like people just find like.

YouTube for example like you don't have. a whole lot of other choices no you. don't like it's they've tried but it. doesn't stick not no they just nailed it. they figured it out and they dominate. but it's like so simple in a way you. just it's just a place where you can. upload videos right but it's so they've. done it so much better than everybody. else it's weird where like trying to. create a new YouTube like uh good luck. good luck getting people they're so. addicted to just looking on YouTube. every day there's so much to look at.

what uh what's the threads. deal it's like a a Twitter it's like a. version of Twitter that um Facebook. built it looks exactly like Twitter I. think they're even getting sued because. it looks so right is Elon suing them is. that real uh uh well yeah they hired I. think well I think I read they hired a. person that worked at Twitter and that. copied stuff directly that's what the. lawsuit I think is about well that's. what happens when you fire. everybody that was an episode they go to.

work for your competitor and they know. things I think that was in Silicon. Valley that HBO show it's the same [ __ ]. here it is uh threads user count Falls. to new lows highlighting retention. challenges oh no how many people are on. it now oh this was even two weeks. ago they're down 82% whoa that's not. that's pretty typical for a new app. though it's hard to retain people yeah. the thing is like people are so addicted. to like their Tik Tok they go from their. Tik Tok to their Twitter like it's very.

difficult to get people to change. platforms yeah you got to get everybody. to. change I've stayed off the Tik Tok deal. I just think it's too maybe it's a. little too youthful for me dude your. dancing is [ __ ] killer though yeah. but I don't watch those videos I just. post them it's very it's very addictive. I'll tell you that I watch people just. just scrolling through their Tik Tok all. day long it's so adct you just get. constant stimulation something anything. dancing motorcycle crash this that you.

know my daughter she's in college and. that's she's in the sorority stuff and. that's that's where they live I mean. everything is Tick Tock based it's all. about Tik Tok and China's tracking. everything they do yeah everything all. your keystrokes what do they doing with. that who knows I mean that constantly. comes up like it's a concern but what. what are they doing with it well here's. the thing. as technology becomes more and more. powerful what you can do with data. changes and if you have a massive amount.

of data about people's behavior their. patterns what they're interested in what. they gravitate towards what retains them. what doesn't retain them and then all. the stuff you're not supposed to have. like their email addresses their [ __ ]. passwords like their key strokes it can. actually monitor the key strokes that. you have so it could be sending that. data so it could be transcribing text. messages emails like whatever you've got. not just on that but also on other.

devices that are connected to the. network so if you have a network and you. have devices that are connected to the. network and that linked into all that. yeah like they I believe it has access. to computers that aren't even like don't. even have Tik Tok on them really yes. yeah I think that's part of the user. agreement yeah didn't we read all this. see pull it pull it up because it's. egregious when you read it you're like. what it's so invasive where do they. store all the dickpics Imagine the.

servers yeah there's like a certain. Cloud if they categorize dick heavy. Cloud it's one of them big storm clouds. filled with dicks this is what their. terms to service right yeah so what I. wanted to read is the one part that we I. know we read it on the podcast. once I don't know where you read it from. see if you can get a yeah I did read it. off my phone here I'll pull it up hold. on I know I got it in my notes but it's.

uh you know it's like data is very very. valuable data is all that Facebook has. it's all that Google has I mean they. have infrastructure and you know staff. and all that stuff but like the big. money is in the data and no one even. knew that that was a commodity everybody. just gave up their data not ever. thinking it was going to be insane. valuable for targeting people for. advertis is that the biggest concern is. what they can do from a financial. standpoint versus like a.

malicious attack with that. data um I. mean the the real thing is like we don't. know what what it like I read something. about DNA you know like one of those. ancestry things where they got bought. out and someone. paid for all the the DNA data that's an. interesting one that's a little [ __ ]. up yeah see see if that's real cuz it. might have been one of them things where. I was like scrolling through Instagram.

and it's was like some wacky person. screaming about something you always got. to double check. these see if that's real I'm. looking um but I don't know what what I. mean as technology increases you have to. think in terms of possibilities like. maybe that data is going to be even more. valuable and more more personal like you. don't. you know we don't know like what we're. giving up Blackstone to acquire ancestry. for 4.7. billion okay but do they but do they.

have access to the DNA database of all. the people that sent into ancestry right. what do they have do they have access. did they buy the company or did they. acquire the database as. well for 4.7 billion I'd certainly think. that they got all the get it all assets. but is that but that's the thing do they. think of other people's personal DNA as. an asset is it listed as an asset or is. it just the business that does DNA.

testing that they bought because that's. very it's a very popular business if I'm. WR that check I'm I'm going to want all. that right but I mean I'm wondering if. you can sell that like when people give. up when when they send it in right when. they get their DNA test done are you. giving up your rights to that. information wonder if you sign any what. waiver when you scroll all the way. bottom and you know terms and conditions. you're like yeah [ __ ] it you're not. reading the 48 pages yeah like Hey we're. going to sell one day all that [ __ ] goes. with it that's the scariest conversation.

about bioweapons that they could make a. they could make a bioweapon specifically. targeted for you wow if they knew your. DNA that's you talk about like the Tik. Tok and China having all that [ __ ] you. know you have something like a January 6. that happens right and all the red tape. to get all of. the you know. Geo data from Facebook and everybody. else just like [ __ ] you you know we're. not giving you [ __ ] you think they can.

get anything there's any back door deals. like hey we need work US Government. working with China to get any of that. [ __ ] to if something were to happen like. that they have that kind of relationship. to get it in backd door channels of like. the us would get the the information. from China yeah I don't know if China. would have they would have to admit. they're taking it. and I think there's been like real. dispute as to like with Tik Tock in. particular like where the data goes I. can't get this pop up to stop but what.

what is it saying uh China is the. world's. biggest uh face recognition dealer and. then it says in the sub headline that. the US is the second largest exporter. exporter and there's a video I'm trying. to find of this uh what's happening it. said the video was made as though this. is what's happening in China right now. showing the surveillance mhm taking. facial recognition and showing you. driving down the freeway in cars and. tagging the license plates and all that. stuff and like even how or why that's.

happening is a big question well they. just want people to know that they're. being tracked everywhere you go then. you'll self-censor then you'll you. you'll stay in line you won't do. anything and in China what's really. scary is the places that have uh. everything connected to a social credit. score so you have a centralized digital. currency and then you have a social. credit score and if your social credit. score is too low you can't do things. can't buy things can't buy a car how. does your social credit score go down. you got to be a good boy your Google. search history yeah what whatever it is.

it's literally like your tweets you like. what you know what what do you do wrong. what do you do right did you pay your. taxes on time like there's a it's. sketchy stuff man because you're you're. you're stop you're not going to be a. human anymore you're going to be a human. that's deeply influenced by the fact. that you know you're constantly under. surveillance. and you that gives into tyranny and. people have control over your life that. way and the people that have access to. the switch to decide whether or not you.

get money whether or not you can [ __ ]. buy a plane ticket whether or not you. could buy certain groceries like and. they just shut you off I wonder if. you're of means can you buy credits for. that social credit score yeah it's a. good question yeah I'm sure somebody's. monetized make a million dollar donation. and get another 50 points on your social. credit score Jesus Christ it's a bribe. to be able to buy a plane ticket yeah. that's our future if we don't wise up. and so many people that just. want they want the government to have.

that kind of control because they think. it'll silence the people that they. oppose they don't realize it's going to. come for you too like there's a real. strong reason why the founding fathers. set this place up the way they did. because they knew that people getting. control of things they have too much. power and then so they made it like real. complicated with multiple layers of. justice and that's the that's just to. Stave off this [ __ ] normal desire. that people have to absolutely control.

the people that are under them that's. why Kings existed that's why monarchs. and that's why rule Emperors that's why. they've always done that forever and. it's just a natural human instinct for. one person to want to control everything. or one group to control everything and. have everybody be their. subjects glad we can just focus on. building [ __ ] car. that's what I'm talking about I'm going. to just keep kicking it old school you. know we're [ __ ] manufacturing things. out of Steel in America yeah and I don't.

have to worry about any of this because. I'm not an important enough person that. anybody's going to utilize any of that. stuff against me I'm just going to it is. weird that we're country that requires. so much of our stuff to be brought in it. yeah on our end like you saw it like. such a Negative change when you started. bringing in like uh steel from India. steel from China yeah I mean you'd get. some stuff that was just crap right you. we're manufacturing stuff and you're. making a control arm for a car and you. get a load of Steel and you look at this. stuff and you we just reject it you're.

only using USA steel because [ __ ] would. just tear rip break junk couldn't bend. it I never even thought of that before. so there's different standards in how. people manufacture steel yep oh wow oh. steel someone said pop and everything. else someone said that to me about the. Twin Towers this friend of mine from New. York he goes you know what nobody talks. about when they talk about the Twin. Towers I go what he goes construction. methods he's like who [ __ ] knows if.

they used the right steel who knows. where they got that [ __ ] from who knows. if it you know it's supposed to be two. inches thick and they made it an inch. and a half like who like cutting Corners. in construction and finagling [ __ ] and. and if they got their steel from a. questionable Source y I mean I don't. know maybe it's all American Steel Maybe. I'm Wrong but his take on it was like. bro like this is like people like Towers. aren't supposed to fall that way like. they're not supposed to be built that. way either probably that was his take on.

it not mine his take on it and I was. like huh I never thought of that before. because I know that there are certain. constru I'm not saying this Construction. Company certain construction companies. that do a [ __ ] terrible job and. people find out about it way too late. and then you know there's buildings that. are just massive buildings that they. have to [ __ ] demolish yeah cuz they. were just built wrong also don't know. how good no matter how good of an. engineer you are if you could have. planned for two [ __ ] planes to fly. into exactly exactly and then the fires.

and the heat that comes along with that. I don't know if there's an like a. simulation you could run on your FAA. analysis on that dude was that the how. old were you when that happened uh that. was I was 2 I I was 19 no you weren't. 2001 I had to be 19 that was one of. those moments where where I think no one. there's like a few moments in your life. where you're like I remember exactly. where I was when I heard that I remember. exactly where I was standing when I was.

watching the television yep I got over. and over and over again on CNN boom boom. I remember my mom talking about it like. it was when she remembers as a kid when. Kennedy got assassinated the same thing. it was like that same kind of focused. around the TV whatever yeah I remember I. was headed to work and got that phone. call like. holy [ __ ] you know what's Wild though. like those weeks after 911 people were. so nice it was so different remember all.

the sporting events yeah and the it was. just like just the pride in the country. youd walking down the road just like. high-fiving folks like yes I went to see. the UFC in Vegas right after September. 11th and uh this is before I was working. for the UFC and I was in the audience. and uh Tito Ortiz was fighting and he. came out with an American flag. and the whole the whole place went. ballistic it was. just and I was with my friend Eddie and.

we're like whoa this is wild like it. just felt so different it felt so. different it's like America felt United. you drive down the street everybody had. a American flag on their car they those. little American flag things that stick. to your. window it happens that way I mean it. happens that way in your family it. happens that way in in business it. happens that way in any relationship. you've got to have unfortunately that. bad [ __ ] thing to remind you of the. good to remind you of the good and. everybody comes together and it's like.

all right we're we can fight amongst. each other about all kinds of [ __ ]. things but when something bad like that. happens you realize it's so easy for. people to lose perspective and that's. why like the better things get the more. people complain it's like people it's so. easy for people to lose perspective and. not just appreciate things it's human. beings are always we always want more. you know and we never really and then. when something goes away like I said. about when you get sick you realize like. oh yeah once you lose it this is what's.

important what's important is being. healthy that's more important than. anything if you were a rich person and. someone said okay you have to stay sick. like you have a cold a bad cold for the. rest of your life but you get to stay. rich or you could just be poor again you. you have to take being poor you can't be. you'd have to be so [ __ ] stupid you. look at all my money just to walk around. rich. with walk around rich and just tired all. the time coughing everywhere you go.

can't go upstairs why didn't the country. come together during Co like they did. after 911 well because the country was. divided everybody was literally divided. everyone was isolated that's a very. weird like psychological experiment to. run on people not saying they did it on. purpose but if you wanted to do a. psychological experiment on on people. the best way to do it is to isolate them. keep them from working is olate. them you got people already that are. filled with anxiety and then all of a. sudden this comes along for a lot of. people like it was psychological.

overload yeah and they were offered up. one solution this is this one solution. it's going to get us out of this you got. to get vaccinated and they were telling. every everyone has to do it you got to. do it I'm doing it we're all doing it. and no one really knew what the. long-term effects were no one really. knew how effective it was no one really. took into account that these. pharmaceutical drug companies have. always done shady [ __ ] they have the. most criminal fines they they they're. always getting busted 25% of their drugs.

get pulled after they get approved it's. just a wild ass business and if you ever. watch like dop sick or if you we read. anything about the Sackler family and. the opioids like these people like they. make great drugs for with great reason. they they do wonderful things for. People's Health there's a lot of great. drugs that really help people and then. there's a machine that just wants to. make money and that machine is in. cahoots with the media and that machine. was in cahoots with all the people that.

were promoting it and the health. agencies and every doctor had to fall in. line and if they didn't if they tried to. prescribe other things they risked. losing their. job and so that's why people didn't get. brought together because they were. [ __ ] terrified and all the conditions. were there to make people more divided. more divided and more scared and some. people still haven't recovered I still. see see people with masks on to this day. outside walking around with masks on or. driving in a car by themselves usually.

all the time yeah just people that were. already probably like very anxious and. very [ __ ] up like the guy you saw what. three four months ago it's a stretched. hiyabusa motorcycle right big ass wheel. on back guy's got no helmet but he's got. a CO mask on. ah like guarantee you buddy it's not the. co that's going to kill you well maybe. just want bugs in his mouth I'll respect. him if he takes it off cuz I would. imagine if you you know you don't even. have a helmet on like you're going to.

get some bugs in your face yeah but it's. was just like the standard. paper shitty mask it's like your it's. like a cat when they hide under a table. but you still see their tail it's like I. see you it's like that doesn't work like. it's like you're you're playing the. stupid trick yeah but it's a lot of it I. think is has gotten to be where sending. a message yeah they want everybody to. know 100% oh yeah they're doing the. right thing I still wear a mask I see. people on Twitter like someone will. declare you know I still Max mask up. everywhere I go I double mask in public.

and every and then underneath it people. like yeah me too I do to all just like. shuttin and insane people that don't. want to let it go and they they'll. probably mask up three four five years. from now too okay go ahead but that's. what what it is is like it cracked some. people and that those circumstances that. had happened under where people were. divided cuz they were literally isolated. at home that just causes so much anxiety. and then you can't work oh yeah and then. the bills are piling up you don't know.

if you're going to lose your house and. your business is shut down like yeah we. got shut down dude we got shut down for. like how long six weeks seven. weeks [ __ ] California was a long. Chicago that was actually the start of. the Cuda that was yeah we were we were. shut down for 6 weeks and him and John. came in and cut the floor out of your. car built the chassis built the floors. yeah the I watched the uh autotopia la. video that you guys did it was great. yeah dude Sean does a kickass job on. those man yeah we were talking about him.

last night like that guy so obviously. loves cars so it's infectious you know. is you can't fake that yep you know and. that's why his Channel's popular it's. like you can't fake genuine like. appreciation yeah I appreciate he's just. like a likable dude you know you like. watching the stuff and yeah he's he does. a good job with videos too just lets the. cars speak for themselves he ask the. right questions is [ __ ] good yeah and. when he drives him you can clearly see. that he's having a great [ __ ]. time yeah we we had some dude that the.

little video he did on the Cuda was cool. because that was. actually we had some legitimate pissed. off [ __ ] neighbor that that was. really cool that made for a great video. was in. the [ __ ] happy what was he mad about. we're on some like where our shops at. like just past the shop it kind it's. like almost like the country right you. kind of. Road and this dude just got so pissed. cuz they were standing on the side of. the road filming but it was in his it. was his property oh and he was mumbling.

something about I'm going to get my gun. or put my gun away or like d shut the. [ __ ] up it's this is a it's a public. damn road I mean they had stopped and. talked to the guy and the guy said you. the neighbor he said you can park right. there in that pull around so they parked. in that pull around cuz the neighbor. gave him permission apparently the. neighbor that actually owned the. property said that's not the neighbor's. driveway to say it's okay and he just. instead of being like hey dude like. what's going on he just came out hot I.

bet the two neighbors are just [ __ ]. with each other it's been an ongoing. feud so he's like I'm going to get him. go park over in his defense though. imagine if you're just trying to enjoy a. calm peaceful day at home and you. hear you're doing these [ __ ] lead. foot. takes down that road. only what two or three right yeah it was. two or three they're loud who the [ __ ]. wouldn't like that that guy that guy. yeah that was the one guy we know.

there's at least one yeah he's at home. watching old Bonanza. episodes wearing his. mask yeah some people are weird man they. don't they don't like loud. noises I get it though if you're in a. country quiet setting it's a loud ass. car yeah D it is do you like seeing that. you like seeing the videos of that car. before you get to see it in person or. would you rather have like a surprise no. I don't mind it at all it's great to see. the videos that makes it I'm more. excited to see it when I get it but uh.

no the videos are awesome you know and. the the one that Shawn did was great sea. did one of my 69 Nova too the one that. Steve built me y that one's awesome too. yeah he's. great does awesome [ __ ] I'm just so glad. that that's one of those things that. came out of uh social media that's. interesting is like an individ ual. content creator that is just like. probably wouldn't get a job doing that. on a television show no but his show is. super successful just because it's. genuine just because he really loves.

cars and he's a real likable guy and. he's doing this thing it's like he. doesn't look like your classic guy that. is uh hosting a car show with quaffed. hair on the Discovery Channel you know. what I mean not a Cheesy right. exactly who's talking to you about a 69. Camaro you know it's like he's not that. he's he's just regular human being it's. relatable you've done a lot of [ __ ] with. TV why do you think that TV Executives. don't realize for especially car related. [ __ ] to get somebody that's legit and.

well because they want to control. everything right so they want to decide. what you say they want to tell you where. to stand they want to set the scene they. they have like all these things in their. mind that they want the show to be in. order for it to be successful and their. defense they think they have a model in. their their mind of what a successful. show looks like but what. they the problem also is they don't have. a lot of time to make something. successful so if you're doing something. like autotopia like what do you need you. need a few cameras like you don't need a.

lot and you just upload it it's not that. much right if you're doing a television. show you have union wages you have. trucks you have grips you have all these. [ __ ] people that are moving things. around and carrying things lighting and. then you have the executives you have. the people that are at the studio you. have you've got 30 40 50 people that are. involved in every project and mill. millions of dollars in the budget so if. it's not successful right away it's. going to lose money and then they just. bail on it so you have like a few. episodes to catch fire and if it doesn't.

work you're gone and then the new one. comes in and then they invest a sizable. amount of money putting together some. new thing and by doing that sometimes. you make good shows when you get a bunch. of great people with a good Vision but a. lot of times you you get too many things. that don't work with each other that. well and whoever the person is that you. wanted to host the show never really. gets to be themselves so they never. really get to like people don't connect. with them they don't feel it they just.

it's just fake and it doesn't feel that. good so you don't like it so nobody. watches it whereas you can do a show. like look look at Jay Leno's garage it's. a perfect example Jay Leno was the host. of The Tonight Show it's like yeah he. did a great job but it was not that. thrilling it was just the Tonight Show. just this thing it was mediocre mildly. entertaining but when you see Jay Leno. hosting Jay Leno's Garage he's great at. it yeah he [ __ ] loves car he's so in. his element it's so normal and natural.

that guy loves cars when he's talking. about whatever it is when he's driving. around the car asking questions that guy. [ __ ] loves it and so the people that. like weren't into Jay Leno from The. Tonight Show days because it was you. know clean family corporate television. they love him now they're like oh he's a. car guy you get the UN J Leno the real. jeno that's the real Jay Leno and that's. what you get with like YouTube and. things like that now and what you guys. are doing on your podcast too it's the. same kind you're just being yourself.

yeah you know and talking about cool. [ __ ] yeah just talking about cars and. whiskey and other dumb [ __ ] dumb [ __ ]. yeah got [ __ ] right but people love like. tuning into stuff like that you know. they they love like knowing there's only. a few people working on this this is not. like some massive project that involves. and this is coming straight from bunch. of. people yeah and that's the thing that. they can't duplicate that's why like.

news shows like CNN they just feel so. fake Everything feels fake everyone's. talking fake and they yeah you know it's. cut to commercial in every five minutes. it's like what is this it's like a. shitty format you think they realize. that and if so what's their pivot. they're trapped it's working they're. trapped yeah they're making money and. but they're they're viewership is as low. as it's ever been it's really low like. way down from the the Trump era well ads. have to be down too I mean aren't being. major corporations can't get the a.

bigger Roi from going to more YouTube. channels or podcasts or anything like. that yeah but there's also this. interesting relationship between. advertisement and influence like if a. primary source of your ad revenue is a. certain company perhaps you won't report. about things that company does that are. bad as long as they keep advertising. really happens I think it can happen I. think that's that's part of the. relationship they have it's not as.

simple as like this is the most. profitable place to advertise it's also. this is a place that if we advertise we. continue this relationship and this. relationship clearly is in some way. influenced by the money that it gets. from these corporations it's not going. to openly criticize these corporations. that are funding a giant chunk of their. ad. Revenue that so they're [ __ ] yeah so. they're [ __ ] and it's always going to. be better to get your your news source.

from someone who's like an actual. journalist who's independent you can get. that now and that's what people are. realizing that's why ca's like sort of. slowly slipping away when does Netflix. have. news Ah that's interesting when do they. it's not a bad idea right like regular. people read the news just. like the actual event leg could be the. thing about the news is like you want to. know all the news so if they just told. you one story like one story about the. wildfires in Maui really they should be.

talking about that all day it should be. like hours and hours and hours it can't. really be five minutes right you know. can't really be like more than 90 people. are dead a thousand are missing back to. you Bob today the Clippers scored 100. you can't do that Clippers didn't score. 100. right you know what I'm saying it's it's. just. like they you know they they they don't. have the time to to give you new and you. don't want it either because you just. like people are spoonfed they want to.

know okay what's going on in Ukraine. okay how's the economy okay right his. Bud Lights still suck okay like is it. okay to watch the Barbie movie. yeah you just checked all the Box yeah. that is all the highlights so they can't. really go into depth about things and. they they can't talk about certain. things it's not like they can just tell. you what they really feel about what's. going on they they can't start talking. about the military-industrial complex. and influence on politicians they're. they're not going to tell you all these. stories it's like very controlled and.

and people realize that now they're not. interested in anymore man so where do. you think like where the hell do people. go to get that that accurate news at. some point podcast yeah that's. independent journalists who've made. podcasts guys like Matt. taibe guys like uh Crystal and Saga on. breaking points people that are. independent and reliable and honest and. they can give you the information as. they see it the last two are the hardest.

ones to put your finger on because. there's so many like fake people who are. pushing one agenda and you don't know. what the side of the story is and yeah. they spin it to whatever Direction they. want it to go yeah just pure propaganda. and they're allowed to do that now which. is just like one of the things that's. really bizarre that came out during Elon. buying Twitter is finding out how much. of the FBI had involvement in censoring. tweets yes and censoring tweets it. turned out to be accurate censoring. tweets about the hunter Biden laptop.

censoring tweets about covid and vaccine. data and oh it's just like the FBI was. involved in people's tweets like how. what and Facebook too it's. like dude I mean honestly if you're not. listening like regularly listening to. some prominent podcast you're not. getting any sort of like f actual. information I mean for a guy like me I'm. a I'm a hot rod builder dude I'm a I'm a. businessman I'm not you know I'm. not politics aren't really my [ __ ].

thing but right like listening to like. you Jordan Peterson RFK Jr I had never. [ __ ] known about that dude right and. I think he's a pretty [ __ ] cool dude. and listen very interesting guy unfuck. believable guy I mean incredibly. interesting and that's something you. would never hear about like that's. that's not going to come up on. mainstream news and like motivate a guy. like me to to to to be more interested. in that guy well no one's going to ever. let him just talk like that he told me. that over 18 years no one just let him. talk like that just let him not. interrupt him not stop him not trying to.

try to change the subject to say just go. ahead tell me everything that you think. your podcast with Jordan Peterson I. think you said like four words the. entire time and he just ran well. Jordan's perfect for that too I mean. he's also in tune right now because he. does all these lectures so Jordan does. these like huge like stadiums he giant. [ __ ] places and he's. just essentially ranting for like an. hour and a half and he has prepared. bullet points and things he wants to.

talk about but he kind of lets the flow. go when he gets up there and just and. but he can do that about anything and. everything he's so he's ridiculously. smart like confusingly Smart Sharp guy. the but the amount of reading that guy's. done like the just the [ __ ] the the. things that he can recall at the tips of. his finger like instantaneously it's. pretty stunning. I'm still thinking about the Facebook. [ __ ] sorry you're talking Facebook and. the FBI so I'm I've just got this no. I've got this picture in my head like at. the Facebook headquarters you've got the.

dude that's on the phone with the FBI. right and he's like all right yeah we're. going to suppress those Tweets we're. going to do that and like he's sharing a. cubicle and this other dude like Mitch. is bitching about like Facebook. Marketplace and Deb is you know in. Nevada bitching about like her post for. her vases get taken down like that's. such a a huge business Proby different. levels there you think it's different. floors sharing they prioritize it's a. big build you think about fa like the. things that Facebook's dealing with on a. daily basis just for to run their stuff. and then dealing with the you know I.

can't believe you deleted my post you. know well there's also weird things they. do like I read this thing today Jamie. well I only read the headline I didn't. read the article I was going to bring it. up today um they said that uh at one. point in time Facebook was contacted by. the FBI about one of uh Tucker Carlson's. videos and that. they they reduce the the the the views. of it or the reduce the reach of it by. 50% Google that see what the [ __ ] that's.

all about what it ever came out on. Tucker is it what was the real reason. they [ __ ] [ __ ] canned him I don't. think you'll ever know I don't think he. said I don't think he can he's probably. in the middle of a lawsuit probably. can't talk about it but it's pretty wild. you got literally the only successful. guy on cable news the only one that has. a loyal fan base in the only one who. says wild [ __ ] he was talking like a pod. like he was on a podcast but he was. doing it on Fox like some of the things. he said like the CIA killed Kennedy and.

everybody's like what the. [ __ ] Guy on Fox he just said the CIA. killed. Kennedy I was just looking at your. Kennedy framed deal on all yeah Patrick. B David gave me that nuts it's pretty. cool do we find it that story I don't I. mean is it horeshit not saying either. way I just it's that's not a I don't. know where you saw it so I have to find. so I would just want you to Google. Facebook reduced Tucker Carlson's video.

reach by not a single thing came up that. way it was other articles about. different stuff with Tucker's name and. Facebook and Fox News and predictions. and this and that does nothing about. they redu the search history I should. have saved it God damn it that's always. one of those ones when I'm like you'll. be able to find. this there's just too many [ __ ]. stories out there now. is your screenshots on your phone just. like ridiculous oh yeah of yeah all and. then you try to go back and be like what. there's got to be something in that that. I screenshot one exactly like what is.

that all it just looks like found says. hang in there what does it say J I don't. know it's uh B I got a Biden. Administration pressed Facebook about. censoring Tucker Carlson post Federal. lawsuit yeah that's it from July yeah so. uh uh despite Facebook staff assessing. that the video did not qualify for. removal from the site so Facebook. complied with requests from members of.

President Joe Biden's White House staff. to throttle the reach of a 2021 video by. then Fox News host Tucker Carlson. according to the federal lawsuit and it. says despite Facebook staff assessing. that the video did not qualify for. removal so under the the request by the. federal government they decided to. throttle a video that they couldn't. remove because it didn't qualify for. being removed so that means it didn't. violate anything now what was this video.

about that's I'm trying to find out what. it says or what it was talking. about that's so crazy assistant I'm sure. they've got their our best interest at. hard yeah I'm sure we're going down a. path or ar will be thrott forward Mr. Carlson okay strategy uh Deputy ass. assistant to the president and director. of digital strategy Rob flarity emailed. Facebook Executives demanding the. suppression of a video segment by Mr. Carlson in which he questioned their.

safety and asserted that people who had. taken the covid-19 vaccines had. sustained injuries and died Mr flarity. also flagged a video by another Fox News. host Tommy. Lauren uh who said she wouldn't take a. vaccine that's wild. well that's true though people did. sustain injuries and some people did die. from it that's. true and they got Facebook to throttle.

that even though it's true that's why. and we paid for that staff of all those. people to watch those videos and flag. them and let Facebook know too hold on. stop listen to this then White House. senior covid-19 adviser Andy slavit also. messaged Facebook executive Nick kle. about Mr Carlson's video according to. the judge's Tuesday ruling Mr slavit. expressed his displeasure that Facebook. did not remove the video and said not.

for nothing but the last time we did. this dance it ended in an. Insurrection no Mr CLE in turn noted. that the video did not qualify for. removal holy [ __ ] that's some heavy. stuff despite the video not qualifying. for removal Facebook officials said Mr. Carlson's video was being demoted to. reduce its reach in an April 16 2021. followup Facebook officials told Mr. flarity that the the platform gave Mr.

Carlson's video a 50% demotion for seven. days and stated that it would continue. to demote the video despite it not. violating the platform's. policies that's. wild that's just pure censorship that's. information that turns out to be true. that you don't like you don't want. people knowing about it and so you. contacted a social media company and. said the last time we did this dance it. ended in. Insurrection this is wild stuff man.

crazy these are these [ __ ]. nuts it's just nuts man I'm sure they. know what they're. doing best interest as to hell yeah it's. very strange it's very strange that. people who appreciate the First. Amendment and the importance of it if. you're an American it's like one of the. most important things that we have that. other countries don't have it's our. ability to express ourselves freedom of. speech it's [ __ ] everything people. don't think it's everything it's.

everything see the only way you find out. what's true when people can't talk then. someone can say something that is. inacurate or it's propaganda and you. have no one that can say any different. you got to take the Second Amendment. along with it though if you take the. first if you take just the first people. are going to be super [ __ ] pissed off. and they've got weapons right exactly. well they're trying to take the second. one too there's a lot of that going. on yeah it's weird times fellas dude. crazy times crazy crazy yeah but pretty.

fun pretty fun times too because it's so. wacky like every day there something new. bunch of people getting [ __ ] killed. in a submarine you know it's like every. day there's something some new craziness. to pay attention to oh that joke last. night I'm not going to give. away oh dude Tony's in animal he's a. [ __ ] Savage so fun yeah I'm super. lucky I get to work with that guy all. the time hly if you never next time you. guys come back into town I got to take. you to kill Tony kill Tony's the.

literally the best comedy experience you. could ever have it's a a show that he. does live from the mothership every. Monday and it's a panel of like uh Brian. Redban and Tony who are the host of the. show and then professional Comedians and. like last time we did it it was um it. was me uh my friend Kurt met eter and. post Malone like we were the guests and. uh it was so fun it was just [ __ ]. ridiculously fun and the show is. amateurs and people are just starting. out get one minute and they go up and do.

one minute and then they get roasted by. the panel and there's an amazing ban. it's the most fun show ever [ __ ] love to. do that that's and Tony host that that's. like his he's been doing it for like 13. years H yeah he's been how long has he. been hosting 10 10 because we just did. the anniversary yeah 10 years [ __ ] yeah. he's funny dude and he's doing an. anniversary well he did an anniversary. show a 10y year anniversary show that we. did at the uh this big theater in town. and then they're doing a new year show. at a [ __ ] Arena so they're doing an.

HB arena for kill Tony for New Year's. damn congrats to him Bas that's awesome. bananas filling Arenas it's got to be a. hell of a feeling yeah for this crazy. show leaving up to it yeah that they. started in this tiny room in The Comedy. Store it's this place called the belly. room it only seats like 70 people fu. that's where they started the show like. 10 years ago nuts nuts [ __ ]. nuts it's wild right es I mean bring it. back to you guys like when you first.

started roster shop and now being one of. the Premier Builders in the world of. those kind of cars I mean how long have. you guys been around for dude we've been. doing this now 20 years wow yeah time. [ __ ] flies so when you first started. out in like the 2003 market for like. what was available in terms of like. custom suspens itions and things along. those lines 2003 I mean it was a. different world the what people were. interested in was wildly different so. you had a different uh you know.

different demographic guys were into. like 30s hot ruts really when you looked. at like aftermarket custom cars they. were like a 1932 for a deuce Roadster or. something like that five Window Coupe. that's what was the popular aftermarket. the muscle car stuff hadn't really been. modified yet so there was like. aftermarket suspension for those we were. manufacturing chassis for 30s and 40s. Street Rods he called them interesting. and it wasn't until like and I don't. know probably like. 2008 2007 what do you think caused the.

shift do you think it was shows like. overhauling and rides you know honest I. don't when when the recession hit we our. entire shop was all 1930s hot rods when. we weathered the storm and got through. the recession there wasn't a single one. of those left and it was all muscle. carse and it was it was like a [ __ ]. light switch you know I don't know what. the deal was if it was just a changing. of the guards yeah we always say it's. like a little bit generational of what. was cool when you were in high school or.

what your parents had and then there's. always like a Josh put it best like a. pendulum of this is cool this is cool. we're going to do the complete opposite. and it swings the other direction and. you're just constantly going back and. forth high-end show cars to Patina. drivers from pro touring muscle cars. into lifted off off-road four-wheel. drive stuff it's just always. moving everybody wants to do something. different you know it's a counterculture. part of it as soon as something I even. heard I think y'all were talking about. on post Malone's podcast everybody's.

into something until you find out like. everybody else is into it right and then. it's like I got to do something [ __ ]. different yeah but if everybody got into. muscle cars I wouldn't. stop I don't think so I don't think they. have because there's so many different. one there's so many different muscle. cars there's so many different styles. and ways to build them I feel that way. about the UFC too like when I first. started working for UFC when I um I. started working for them in '97 I did it. from 97 to '98 and then I did it uh. again I started working again for them. in 2001 but if but I was back when.

nobody know knew what the [ __ ] it was I. was doing these shows in 97 in Dothan. Alabama you flying in a propeller plane. and people were fighting with shoes on. bare knuckle and headbutts were legal. like it was crazy the the crazy times. I'm happy that more people are I'm not. like yeah I knew when it was cool. like that's that to me is so dumb like. if you like a band and all a sudden the. band makes it like yeah they [ __ ]. sold out yeah I don't like them now. everybody likes. them the UFC's changed too right all.

different fighting styles and different. weight classes and what's kind of cool. and yeah it's just gotten better it's. just constantly gotten better the the. people of today are just the the best. ever it's just it's insane like the. level of talent and that it's such a. pressure cooker because in every. division like in this weekend you have. Alaine Sterling fighting sugar Shan Ali. so you have the best of the best like. the most exciting Contender versus the. most dominant champion and it's just woo. when that happens like this pressure.

cooker in that division because you've. got guys like Corey sandhagen and Marlon. ver you got so many killers in this. Division and everybody's just striving. to be the the the champion and they're. around so much talent that everybody has. to get better so it's like the the level. of competition is so strong in every. weight class that it's just this insane. like diamond machine like the pressure. makes these insane diamonds of talent. and that's just off the charts right now.

that's what we've seen in ours. especially over the last 10 years our. industry is you know the other Shops. coming up um and wanting better and. better and better which is why we've had. to continue getting better on all the. chassis and the different innovations. that we've come out with but it's the. trickle down I mean you talk about UFC. getting mainstream getting so much. bigger stuff then you've got the apparel. Brands and then you've got you know the. fight gear and you got stuff and the. gloves everybody's got to get better at. their [ __ ] you actually can make a. business to support that the same thing.

in in in our industry where you have we. can build the chassis at the volume that. we can because of the way the industry. has gone well the Market's there so you. can put the time you can put the effort. into it you can put the engineering and. spend the money to develop something. that's really [ __ ] badass it's also. great what you guys do for the hobbyist. for someone who wants to build their own. car like you provide them the actual. suspension like if someone knows how to. do all that and they have the time and. the garage space y you know they can. actually use the same components that.

you guys do and do it themselves. absolutely and and that's a big portion. of our business I mean a lot of guys we. uh and I can't tell you how many like. home builders we have that they take. that chassis they take all the same. components that we use in a car that. maybe we build for you the chassis. that's under his Camaro yeah the chassis. that's under your 69 that's honestly a. father and son could do that Swap and. Chassis install in in a long weekend. that's awesome that's awesome yeah and. they take their 69 Camaro from driving.

like you know an Antiquated kind of. death trap to now they've got a [ __ ]. sports car you know yeah well well I. think what you guys do is awesome I'm. glad we got to do this podcast fun.
