All right guys, what's going on? It's another episode of the
5:26
After Hours podcast. Carl called out sick today.
5:29
He's actually not sick. He has a lot of work to do
5:33
because Daryl's going to final bout so he's got to paint his
5:38
car so. Just me and Frank.
5:45
Well, then we got a wheel and we got the skeleton, but they're
5:48
probably not going to say much. So it's just me and Malcolm, but
5:52
we got some questions and you know what, guys?
5:56
It's just AQ and a episode and we're just hanging out so.
5:59
We're just hanging if. You're looking for any like
6:01
important card knowledge or stuff like that.
6:03
You're going to want to skip this episode, and that's what
6:05
you're going to want. To do if you want some comedy,
6:07
you're going to want. To yeah, you stay right where
6:10
you are because this is going to be fucking retarded.
6:13
All right before we start. We got a Mark Mike's Hard
6:17
Lemonade, first of all. Yeah, I haven't had one of these
6:20
in probably 10 years. I got a Jocko mulk protein shake
6:24
and I saw Eddie drinking some of these so.
6:26
I knew he was getting bigger and.
6:28
It's wearing off. It's it's rubbing off, as they
6:30
say, rubbing off. That's kind of weird.
6:32
Rubbing off what did? What did you get in there?
6:37
I got a chunk of something I'm done with.
6:38
That I came in, that I. Was going to say I was going to
6:43
ask how many times you rub one off, but maybe not the best way
6:46
to start this podcast. So before we started you were
6:50
talking about Jugg Juggalos? Juggalos, yes.
6:55
Insane Clown Posse. Insane in the membrane.
6:59
If you will. And you said, what about them?
7:01
I said we got to go to one of those Juggalo fests one day.
7:05
What do they call it? Damn, we don't have you with the
7:07
computer anymore. That's fine, we got our phones
7:10
right here. What's a phone?
7:13
Yeah, computer. Juggalo.
7:17
They call it the Juggalo Gathering.
7:19
OK, yeah, they just hang out, do some music, show some butt
7:26
holes. That's literally what they're
7:29
known for, what they be like yo show your butt hole and then
7:32
they just show their butt hole. Like any juggalo you'd be like,
7:35
yo show your butt hole. And boom, there's like only fans
7:40
before only fans. It's a sponsor free independent
7:43
rap festival and family reunion for fans of Insane Clown Posse.
7:49
I couldn't name one song. Insane in the membrane.
7:52
That's not this band. Am I wrong?
7:56
Yes. I thought that that was insane.
7:58
Insane in the membrane. Like insane in the membrane,
8:01
insane in the brain. That song.
8:02
Yeah. No, bro.
8:05
Stop. Are you kidding me?
8:06
That's that fucking rap group. Oh, that's Cypress Hill.
8:09
Like what? I thought that was insane.
8:13
Are. You fucking kidding me?
8:18
What are you fucking retarded insane in the membrane?
8:23
What are you saying got no brain?
8:25
What? I mean that song is the dumbest
8:27
shit I ever heard but people love it.
8:29
Well then I guess I don't know any Insane Clown Posse.
8:32
No, no one knows any. Songs.
8:33
I literally thought that was their song for like the past 10
8:36
years. That's Cypress.
8:38
Now that you know it's Cypress Hill, how does that make you
8:40
feel? Still want to go to a Juggalo
8:42
gathering? OK this seems fun.
8:44
They do a lot of fun stuff. I feel like people of all
8:47
colors. I don't know, when I think of
8:50
Juggalo gathering the first thing that comes to mind is like
8:52
KKK meet up straight up. No, there's actually a lot of
8:55
black people at the Juggalo gathering.
8:57
I'm just telling you, like that's the same kind of energy.
9:00
I'm like oh fucking weirdos that dress up and hang out like.
9:04
Oh. Weird.
9:06
Like that's fucking weird. I guess so, yo.
9:08
Let's hang out. Like, I mean, furries, I don't
9:15
want to bring it up, but furries, same thing, same kind
9:19
of thing. But Speaking of dressing up,
9:22
going out, can we go to the Renaissance Fair this year?
9:26
I think we might have missed it. No, it's August to like October
9:30
or something. That's a long time.
9:32
Are you sure? I.
9:34
Think so? It's in New York.
9:35
See how helpful you are when you're on the computer.
9:37
Yeah, fuck. That's like a fucking integral
9:39
part of this operation. Renaissance is a hard word to
9:44
spell. I'll go to the Renaissance Fair.
9:47
Renaissance Fair. Didn't Chris, Didn't Chris Knapp
9:51
and all of them go to them one year?
9:53
Yeah, they did. They did.
9:54
Let's go with them. I'm down.
9:57
All right here. Oh yeah.
10:02
August 16th to October 5th. What's happening right now?
10:07
It is. Now do you have to dress up?
10:11
Like you don't have to. Like a muppet to get in like
10:13
it's. Part of the fun though.
10:15
Oh. OK.
10:15
Like what are we doing? I'll dress up as a jester
10:19
that's. Just like some rich white people
10:21
shit like a renaissance fit. Let's pretend we're broke and
10:25
poor and dying of fucking plague or just go to work like you
10:29
don't kind of fucking do all this like or just go play golf
10:33
like do something normal like you don't have to I.
10:35
Guess. I mean, I guess it's I got to go
10:38
before I say yeah. You'll probably love it.
10:39
You're going to be like, the food's amazing.
10:41
The food, Yeah, that's the. Way you go, you go for the food
10:44
and there's a lot of busty women.
10:46
Go for the food, stay for the boobs.
10:49
Honestly. I, I guess, I don't know, go for
10:52
the food, stay for the plague, like is there because like it's
10:56
not, it's not going to be realistic because if it was
11:01
going to be realistic, someone would get injured before we
11:03
left. Maybe they do.
11:05
Wait, that's not the right they do.
11:07
I was going to say jousting. That's, I think, medieval.
11:09
No, no, that's medieval. Oh, they might.
11:12
They might have to. What We need you on the
11:17
computer. What is actually the difference
11:19
between Medieval and Renaissance?
11:23
Is the Renaissance supposed to be the Renaissance era?
11:25
You should have your your laptop over here Renaissance.
11:30
Let me go get that shit. This shit's going to get
11:32
interesting. Hold on, I'm just going.
11:35
To sit here awkwardly. If you've been to the
11:40
Renaissance Fair, let me know how it is.
11:44
I know they had do it in like a good amount of states, but I
11:49
think the New York 1 is a pretty big one.
11:52
It's in Tuxedo, NY. Yeah, yeah, it's on a really
11:55
good Rd. We've seen we've no, I've
11:57
passed. If you go the other way and you
11:58
go into 7 Lakes Park, you'll find Johnny somewhere in there.
12:01
Oh shit. Up on the mountain, hiding from
12:04
the from the fucking cops. All right, what am I looking up?
12:07
Why is it called Renaissance Fair?
12:13
Or medieval? OK, but what's the is a
12:17
Renaissance period in the medieval?
12:19
Yeah, that's what they're saying.
12:20
They're saying it's the time period they're recreating is the
12:22
Renaissance. OK, that was a whole.
12:25
That's like the. But I thought the Renaissance
12:27
was. I'm confusing Renaissance with
12:29
something else that happened in like the 1800s or 17.
12:36
I think you're going. You got to go.
12:37
Or maybe. I am thinking about the same
12:38
thing. I just never really put too much
12:40
thought into it. Yeah.
12:44
Oh, medieval fair conjures ideas of disease and pestilence.
12:50
Renaissance Fair sounds more fun, that's why they don't call
12:53
it medieval fair. Medieval fair.
12:55
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Renaissance is more like
12:57
romantic, I guess you could say. Yeah, medieval is not a good
13:01
name. When I hear medieval, I think,
13:04
oh, people are dying. Like medieval times.
13:06
Yeah, like someone's you either getting your your foot's just
13:10
falling off from like that one plague, or you're getting
13:13
stabbed to death. Yeah, or you're getting killed
13:18
by the king. Yeah, you're getting your body
13:20
ripped apart. Yeah, like we're just going to
13:22
put you on this little device we made with ropes.
13:24
Crank it down. Crank it down.
13:25
We're just going to crank it until we start hearing your
13:27
bones popping out of their fucking joints.
13:28
Like what the fuck was wrong with those people?
13:31
I. Don't know, that was a tough
13:34
time to be alive. But we got people nowadays, like
13:36
I'm so stressed out, right? My God.
13:39
Yeah, your life's so. Fucking cortisol levels.
13:45
I just got cut off. I'm going to fucking kill
13:47
somebody. Let's talk about that video I
13:48
shared today on Instagram where there was someone in New York
13:52
City trying to kill themselves and they just.
13:54
Laying on the tracks. They decided the best place to
13:56
do this it. Was on the subway.
13:57
Was to go lay on the subway tracks in the middle of the day
14:00
before the trains coming. Yeah.
14:04
I'm sure the train's going to just keep on coming and just
14:06
kill. Yeah, definitely.
14:08
No, let me tell you, that actually happened.
14:10
This motherfucker thought he'd get some attention by laying on
14:12
the tracks and get people. To feel sorry for him and the
14:14
lady recording is commentating saying yo do this shit at home,
14:19
you want to kill yourself do this shit at home you just want.
14:21
To take shit like what are you doing?
14:23
You're making everyone's day. You're ruining everyone's day
14:26
for this shit. Like, and I talked to Tom about
14:28
it and Tom was like, dude, when there's always traffic on the
14:30
Verrazano Bridge and people screaming at people just fucking
14:33
jump already pussy like all this.
14:35
Shit, Oh my God. Because they just fucked the
14:37
whole day up for everyone. And it's like, dude, grow up.
14:46
I got to watch what I say because we don't know where this
14:47
is going yet. I don't know.
14:49
I don't want to keep going and then like.
14:52
Oh God. Get a rope like a man.
14:54
All right? Yeah.
14:56
So what else? Oh.
14:57
Speaking of dressing up and going places, final bout's
14:59
coming up soon. Final bout's coming up and we're
15:02
not going. So you got to look approachable.
15:05
So yeah, what was that dress up? What was that whole thing?
15:07
Someone just said that or something.
15:08
Oh, I think the rumor goes. Simba referenced it in the in
15:12
the last reel for the new shirt Today you got to look
15:15
approachable, so buy a. New merch, the merch
15:18
advertisement reel. He mentioned that, but what was
15:22
the whole, I didn't really understand that whole thing.
15:23
What was going on? Apparently someone was talking
15:25
shit and like oh. Yeah.
15:27
They what like I'm not, I don't, I don't dress approachable.
15:30
Or something, someone's no someone's like, oh, these people
15:32
don't dress approachable to like ask for ride alongs or
15:35
something, something like that. I don't.
15:36
Know we're talking about some like knowledge that but most
15:38
people probably don't know but I.
15:40
Don't know, it was some fun about drama last year or two
15:42
years ago, I forget. Yeah, but we're not going this
15:45
year. Simba told us that we there's
15:49
not enough room for vendors. On we asked, we asked to vendor
15:53
too late. Yeah.
15:55
So, yeah. And unfortunately we, I mean,
16:00
like we, we did try, there was a thought of us trying.
16:03
He did offer us tickets. So we were going to try to come
16:07
out and. Just show up and hang out.
16:09
Dupod, no, I can't do that. Well, I literally cannot.
16:12
Afford it at the event, yeah, so event at the event, but we would
16:16
in the upon the journey, we would try to do podcasts.
16:19
Yeah, videos, podcasts, whatever.
16:21
And then just come and sell shirts out of our fucking
16:24
backpacks. But Carl's got a family reunion
16:27
that week, too, so now we're thinking it.
16:29
Might be beat. I mean, it's literally in a week
16:31
and 1/2, so we're kind of beat. Yeah, it's just pointless at
16:34
this point so, but I hope you guys have fun.

18:57
They can swim. More at home in the water.
18:59
Yeah, 100%, but there's 50 wolves.
19:03
Yeah, that hippo could bite about three of them at a time.
19:06
Drown them. Boom.
19:07
See what you're talking about? This is exactly how I feel about
19:10
a gorilla versus 50 men or whatever.
19:12
You're dumb for that. The 50 men are winning.
19:14
Well, it's 100 men. Right. 100 men.
19:16
Yeah, yeah. That's exactly how I feel about
19:19
that. Whatever dude.
19:24
I like this guy's name Dookie style Nate.
19:27
That's the one I was going to read.
19:29
Bone stock Z and six or stock KAS 13 for learning to do the D.
19:34
First of all, never say that again, all right?
19:37
That's the first thing. Second thing, S13.
19:42
No matter what, every time it's an S13.
19:45
So S13. Yeah, yeah, no matter what.
19:49
S13 as chassis, every day, all forever.
19:53
Actually no, because the stock KA.
19:55
Oh wait, never mind. It doesn't matter.
19:57
I was going to say he's going to have an open dip but you just
19:59
saying the motor stuck. All motor or turbo?
20:04
By the way, someone buy Malcolm some flowers.
20:08
What? What does that mean?
20:10
AM. I going to die soon.
20:16
You got so many people with crushes on you and.
20:18
Stop. Don't say that.
20:20
Where's your boy been at? Lachlan Lachlan, if you're out
20:23
there still listening. And I kind of miss the creepy
20:26
comments. No.
20:27
Why would you stay? Back.
20:28
Come back to me. OK, well, yeah, I don't know why
20:31
you need flowers, but all motor or turbo for drifting.
20:33
It's turbo. We actually were talking about
20:35
this the other day because we were talking about the Z that we
20:38
might get in the future. And I was like trying to figure
20:43
out how we going to make this thing sound good and all this
20:45
stuff. And we eventually found some
20:47
like extravagant header that we could get to make it sound good.
20:50
But at the end of the day, I was like, NA drift cars don't really
20:56
do it for me at all. Like something about like just
21:01
the driving style of drifting, how it's like on throttle, off
21:04
throttle, high RPM stuff. I I was like, even if you put a
21:10
nice header on this car, like I made it sound like a race car,
21:14
it still would not sound. Yeah, I don't know.
21:18
I just, yeah, I don't picture it sounding good, so I'm going to
21:20
go with Turbo no matter what for drifting.
21:22
Turbo dude. Unless it's like a a 86 that's I
21:28
wouldn't even put a turbo on that then.
21:30
So I guess some cars are like different.
21:32
But if you want any power, I would do a turbo no matter what
21:35
just so it sounds better. Yeah.
21:37
What do you think? Turbo sounds cooler.
21:40
Hit that turbo. Unless you got AV 8.
21:44
Yeah, but do you like the way the?
21:47
No, no, I don't really like how they sound.
21:51
What about drifting? What about it?
21:55
Yeah, fuck swing that shit. We just come around Hairpin,
22:01
like I'd be over that too. Yeah, just the whole time.
22:08
Yeah. You saw the Patrick?
22:09
Yeah, yeah, the Patrick Swayze. Swayze Questions.
22:14
Who read that? Who?
22:15
Who asked that? PJ Sill, 80.
22:18
PJ Sill, 80, asks who would win in a fight, Patrick Swayze or
22:22
cancer? Is he alive?
22:27
I didn't close this shit like we were done like that was the only
22:31
reason I bought brought that. Laptop up again brother.
22:34
You're Jamie for the day now, Dance Monkey.
22:38
OK, he died, so I'm going to say cancer.
22:44
I must say cancer on that one. PF Flyers or Converse.
22:51
I don't even know what PF are. I just looked up PF Flyers.
22:53
It's an ugly version of Converse.
22:54
All right. So we both didn't know what
22:56
those were. So Converse, PF Flyers, I just
23:00
like why? They're 90 bucks.
23:03
Yeah, and they just say PF. They literally want to look like
23:06
Converse. But the patch says PF.
23:08
That's some Carl shit. Get some Jesus shit.
23:12
Honestly, yeah. This is probably what fucking
23:17
snap on use for their shoes. Read the next one.
23:22
Read the next one, the gyro one. How do you say gyro gyro, gyro?
23:33
Gyro. You do not say.
23:35
Gyro. I don't.
23:35
I don't even say that word. I think it's supposed to be
23:37
euro. Yeah, I don't think it's gyro.
23:41
It's definitely not gyro. I don't think it's gyro either.
23:44
It's probably not. I'm pretty.
23:46
I think it's a euro, isn't it Greek?
23:48
Yeah, it's Greek for sure. Greek who's on the final bout?
23:53
Roll call. Yeah, we just mentioned that.
23:54
So we're not going to be honest with you guys.
23:58
We're not doing shit. So we're not going to the
24:01
legends of Drift. We dropped the ball on that one,
24:03
I would say. So it's kind of is what it is.
24:07
Probably going to be the biggest event of the year, at least at
24:10
Raceway Park. So yeah.
24:12
Yeah. Drop the ball heavy on that one.
24:14
Yeah. Over the LCD World War guarantee
24:17
it. They don't.
24:20
I mean, they might. They might advert.
24:23
Do you remember advertisements for the Adam LZ event?
24:26
Like paid advertisements? Yeah, OK.
24:29
Yeah, they were. All right, so they advertised
24:31
both. Yeah, yeah.
24:33
Well, The thing is Adam LZ is involved in this so.
24:40
A lot of people are. Yeah, but so you have Adam.
24:43
Yeah, you have Adam LZ, and now you have a main actor from Tokyo
24:46
Drift. It's going to be bigger than
24:48
though. Yeah, it's going to be huge.
24:49
Yeah, it's it. There's no way around it.
24:51
And they're both doing promotions on it.
24:54
There's people that came in the shop.
24:57
What's the customer with the short car that we Rav 4, Rav 4?
25:05
He said yeah, I think I'm going to that event next weekend.
25:07
Something with like he would not go to any of these events, but
25:11
he's going because. That guy's just because of the
25:12
and. They're filming a movie.
25:14
That's why Han, once I heard him say that to me, I was like,
25:19
yeah, we fucked up real big, yeah.
25:20
Yeah. Because if he's going to that
25:22
event, there's going to be so many people there that are first
25:25
timers. So yeah, have fun everyone going
25:29
to that event. I'm sure it's going to be a good
25:32
time. It's going to, I think it's
25:34
going to be exactly like a Adam LZ event that they've had down
25:37
there. And the last one that was on the
25:39
road course, we didn't really do so well as far as a merch booth.
25:45
Because we only went one day, they said The next day was
25:48
better, supposedly. And they put you in the middle
25:49
of nowhere, like, you know, CC full of cars.
25:52
Like there's not really a vendor area.
25:53
Yeah, yeah. It's not like.
25:55
Yeah, so that was another reason why I didn't really care that
25:59
much, but. You know, I mean the the Legends
26:04
of Drift might be the same way for vendors.
26:06
Honestly, it's probably going to be set.
26:07
Up. I think it's going to be the
26:08
exact same way. That's why I didn't care that
26:10
much. I was like, oh whatever.
26:12
But then I start hearing people like mention it and I was like.
26:14
But like, you're still going to make money no matter what.
26:15
Yeah, we, we definitely fucked up.
26:17
Like it, it's, it's going to be big.
26:22
I saw fucking. I was looking at the poster.
26:23
I was like, how did Grant make it onto this fucking poster?
26:27
Unless you make it on every single poster.
26:28
Grant is on every fucking poster.
26:30
I love it. Like I don't think Jimmy is on
26:32
the poster. No way.
26:34
Like there's a bunch of people that are not, but do you see
26:37
Grant? And I'm like, what the fuck?
26:38
Grant is always on. I don't know.
26:41
We need Grant in the pocket. He said he would do it last time
26:43
he was here. He came here like a few months
26:45
ago and. Yeah, I saw that.
26:46
He was like, what the fuck is this shop?
26:49
I'm like, yeah, I've been telling you to come by.
26:52
He's like, dude, I didn't know it was like this big.
26:54
So I think it would be a good podcast.
26:59
And he said when he was here and we were looking at parts in the
27:03
back, he mentioned he was like, yeah, I, I he's like, I remember
27:06
watching you and Justin drifting at like club loose.
27:08
That's what like inspired me to drift or something like
27:11
something along those lines. Damn.
27:13
I was like, shut the fuck. I was like, now you have to do
27:15
the podcast. So, but I don't know, we'll see
27:17
what. Happens.
27:18
He lives in what, Connecticut? Yeah, probably not too far.
27:22
Yeah, so that was cool. Grant's a Grant's a good guy.
27:28
But yeah, as far as final bout, 2, not 2 is like 8 or some shit,
27:32
but as fine as as far as final bout, yeah, we're not going.
27:37
This sucks. Send us videos and photos and
27:39
shit like that. Yeah, it's probably going to be
27:41
a good time. Front Street is really trying
27:44
to. I don't want to say this might
27:46
be the last one for them, but like, I don't think they think
27:51
it's the last one for them. But I'm just saying as someone
27:53
who knows them very well. Yeah, Tom just had a kid.
27:58
I think Josh is going to have a kid soon.
28:00
I'm not saying like he does. There's no plans to.
28:02
Yeah, yeah, but but I just feel it.
28:04
Yeah. In the universe.
28:05
Yeah, like, I, I think it's, I think it's coming.
28:08
Jimmy has a kid. Like, I don't know, guys, they
28:12
they're coming. They're out for blood this time
28:13
around. So if if anyone's listening to
28:16
this and they're driving that event, you better get ready for
28:17
that shit because they're, they're coming out strong this
28:21
year. They got all those fucking
28:23
people talking on Instagram, right?
28:25
Yeah, the cameos. What is this?
28:28
Put a girl on. I don't.
28:30
Understand you don't. Like that put a girl on.
28:33
What is that? I don't get it.
28:34
How was that funny, Josh? Sent me that and I was like what
28:37

28:39
say ha ha ha. Does anyone enjoy that put a
28:41
girl on meme guy because I don't.
28:44
Do not understand that shit. Yeah, me and Malcolm don't
28:47
understand it. Just.
28:47
Whack. But they got him to do that.
28:51
Yeah, yeah, for a small fee. For a small fee of $1,000,000
28:56
even. Oh.
28:57
Yeah, I saw that question. Even Stevens or Drake and Josh.
29:00

29:06
Yeah. I didn't watch.
29:07
I didn't watch. Drake and Josh.
29:09
Even Stevens, like it was on when I was a kid, but it was
29:12
like I was like, didn't really have any interest in it.
29:15

30:07
So once it's painted, then I'll reach out to Julian and be like,
30:09

30:51
statement and begin the podcast. What the fuck?
30:53
What? Why fucking why are you crying
30:55
in the fucking car? The fuck are you doing crying?
30:58
Public like cry on the railroad tracks.
31:01
Like. I don't.
31:03
I don't. Cry in my car, I don't go to
31:05
cry. In my car, I don't cry.
31:06
Period. What if you just happened to cry
31:08
in the car and you're like, let me put a song on to make it
31:10
worse for myself, I. Don't see, I don't do that ever.
31:12
If if I'm upset, I'm going to do everything in my power to not be
31:16
like, I'm not going to be like, oh, let me just.
31:18
Suck in my emotions. Let me just suck in my fucking
31:20
emotions, I. Hate that shit, I need to feel
31:22
it. Like, I had to stop listening
31:24
to, like, a whole genre of music once because of that.
31:26
Like pop punk and all that. Like, sad Midwestern.
31:29
Yeah. It would just depress me.
31:31
I'm like, this shit is so sad. Like it's just pathetic.
31:34
They're just like crying and I'm like, I was like, I'm good off
31:38
this shit. Like give me some medal or
31:39
something. I don't want to know what
31:41
they're even saying. Like give me something or I
31:44
can't hear it. Yeah, no, So I don't think I
31:46
have one. And I listen to some fucking
31:50
black ass gay music. So like and and I'm telling you
31:53
I don't have one. I don't even think, I can't even
31:55
think of a sad song like that. Like I listen to Taylor Swift
31:58
straight up like and I I, I listen to.
32:01
Loser. Yeah, and some people say that
32:03
I. Should have asked.
32:04
That music makes you sad. Well, girls say that and I'm
32:08
like, doesn't make me sad, but it is sad.
32:11
Fucking music. Yeah, you're literally listening
32:13
to her journal entries. Yeah, like it sometimes.
32:15
That's what it sounds. Like sometimes I hear the lyrics
32:17
and I'm like, this is really sad actually.
32:19
But then I'm like, it's not making me sad.
32:20
So, but like, so if that's not working, then I don't know,
32:24
like, OK, let's be. It would probably be some
32:27
Midwestern fucking emo shit. I guess if I had to pick one
32:30
like let's say, you can listen to some of that too.
32:34
Yeah, I don't like know the names of anything though.
32:37
Let's say there's some like sad ass bands.
32:43
They always have the weirdest fucking name, Front Porch Step.
32:45
Like that's a fucking band, dude.
32:47
Front porch step. Front Porch step is a is a name
32:50
of a band. And I'm pretty sure that's one
32:51
that is like always. The guy's always sad as fuck.
32:54
Let me see if I can find a sad song that I listen to on my
32:56
Spotify while you do that. Yeah, this is literally a band.
32:59
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK.
33:01
This is a pretty emo Midwest type fucking pop punk band and
33:08
it's pretty sad music so I don't know, maybe that one.
33:12
It's a really good question, I just never experienced this yet
33:15
so I don't know. Cry Song.
33:24
Here I got one right here. Maybe I'm just lying.
33:26
Maybe there is one. I don't know.
33:29
Don't You can't play it. We're going.
33:30
To there's going to be a short. Guys playing music, Yes, that
33:40
Michael Jackson song, Hold Me Like the River Jordan.
33:47
That's the only words we know. But that song, good fucking
33:51
song. I would cry to that watching
33:52
Free Willy, right? Yeah.
33:54
It'll definitely get you. Yeah.
33:56
I honestly, I don't think I really listen to sad songs.
33:59
Maybe that's the problem? Well, we've been trying to
34:01
figure out if you have emotions for the last one.
34:03
I, I I don't. Maybe that's why we're friends.
34:07
Yeah, sure. All right.
34:11
You don't have emotions, He. Said I love how he put in that
34:13
if Frankie even cries, when's the.
34:16
Last time you cried. When's the last time you?
34:18
Cried. You know when I cried last.
34:21
We won't talk about it. We we don't speak of that.
34:23
The last time I cried was when my cat died.
34:26
That was it. That was fair.
34:28
It was in August. So you do cry.
34:30
Yeah. August.
34:33
So if a loved 1A year ago, if a loved one dies, you'll cry.
34:36
There you go. If a If a loved one dies, we'll
34:38
cry. Yeah, I think I'll, I would cry
34:41
sometimes I think that to myself and be like, I'll think about
34:45
one of my family members dying and I'm like, I hope I cry and I
34:47
don't look psychotic. Not crying.
34:49
I felt the same way before. OK.
34:51
Yeah. All right.
34:54
That's normal thought I guess. I think when one of my close
34:57
friends dies it's going to hit me way worse than anything else
35:00
in my life. Yeah, I think so too.
35:02
Like, worse than my parents, worse than anything.
35:05
I've always felt that way. I've always felt that way.
35:09
Like I think that's going to be like life altering.
35:14
Don't know why but that's yeah how I think because I've always
35:17
viewed my friends as like. Your chosen that's.
35:21
The top tier? Yeah, exactly.
35:22
Yeah, so. Yeah, I think I'd feel the same
35:25
way. There's a question on here, I'm
35:28
not sure if I'm going to ask that.
35:31
Which one is it? Is it the gallon one?
35:33
Yeah. We could put it in different
35:38
words. No, you can't.
35:40
Yeah, you can. OK, go for it, Malcolm.
35:45
Would you? No, I can't all.
35:50
Right, you listen to the Patreon if you want that question.
35:54
Hey, this is Drew Peacock. Is that really his last name?
35:59
Drew Peacock? That's a crazy last name.
36:02
Did he make the app? Hey, this is Drew Peacock.
36:06
Just wanted to say hi to the faction pod.
36:08
Keep it up, boys. Oh, it's a fake name, Drew
36:11
Peacock. Ah, drew Pea.
36:13
Oh, I said Peacock. Yes, but it's, I read drew
36:16
Peacock, but it drew Peacock, drew Peacock.
36:19
I got to read it fast. And then put eggplant at the end
36:22
so that makes sense. Hey, it's a Drew Peacock.
36:24
Just wanted to say that's a good one.
36:29
Cock sucker. All right.
36:30
Next. 1. Frankie Dick.
36:32
Yeah, Fucking Dick head. Frankie, what's the biggest
36:34
hurdle you've faced on the 240 yet?
36:38
Time, question mark, mechanical question mark.
36:41
It's just me. I'm the biggest.
36:43
Yeah, I'm the biggest hurdle because I just never want to
36:47
work on it. It's not, there's literally
36:49
nothing. There is nothing not to blow our
36:52
our ego up. There's nothing on a 240 that we
36:54
really can't do here. Like we we know that car inside
36:57
and out. So the hardest thing is that
37:01
motivation, the mental strength to just get up and do it.
37:04
Yes, but also I'll add another one, whatever the fuck we've
37:07
been doing for the last two years because this shit sucks.
37:09
Or sanding. I guess the last year rust,
37:13
yeah, treatment, whatever, yeah, rust repair, all this shit like
37:16
just. And I guess a hurdle would be
37:19
like trying not to overdo it, even though it's hard for me to
37:23
say that because I know we've obviously gone way further than
37:26
we should have this entire time. But it's like, I mean, Frankie
37:29
was in there welding shit the other night when we were working
37:31
in there and I'm in the back sanding it and he's up front
37:35
working on the same patch that he's been working on for like
37:41
probably 8 to 10 hours straight. That is insane.
37:44
And I'm like, yo, he, he like looked at me.
37:46
He's like, he's like, motherfucker.
37:48
He's like, I just can't get this thing.
37:49
I was like, yo, Frankie, you know, that's on the inside of
37:54
the car on the firewall. I'm putting carpet in here and I
37:59
might even be putting sound deadening on the firewall.
38:02
I'm like, you need to stop. Like I, I appreciate that he's
38:07
trying to do the best work he can, but like.
38:10
Yeah, because he's doing up to his standard, his standards as
38:13
well. Yeah, but like this entire.
38:16
OK, so it's inside the firewall, it's on the passenger side.
38:20
It was a rust patch that was cut out, but there's layers.
38:24
So I don't, Malcolm knows a decent amount of cars, But so
38:28
you have the firewall panel, but then you have other panels that
38:31
are like tack welded or spot welded onto those panels.
38:35
So now you have layers of metal, right?
38:39
But you don't know what's in between those layers.
38:42
And sometimes there's like a sort of epoxy that they put in
38:46
between and like press on and then they'll spot Weld.
38:49
So like he's trying to Weld and there's all contamination on the
38:52
back. Not to mention there's rust
38:53
behind there, so it's just blowing holes through.
38:58
But like there was this one section where Ethan cut a square
39:03
out of the firewall so that he could get to behind that, which
39:06
would be the opposite side of the firewall, kind of where the
39:09
apron comes from the strut towers.
39:12
So he cut that hole out just to be able to get in there and Weld
39:14
it. So he felt he, he welded that
39:16
and fixed it and then he left that piece of metal to the side.
39:19
And I'm like, as we're working on the car, I'm like, I see
39:22
these panels, I'm like, well this one goes here.
39:24
But like, I don't know if you want to try to put that back.
39:26
I mean, Ethan said he doesn't want to try to put that back
39:28
because it's going to be more of a problem.
39:30
Of course Frankie, you know, he's like, he's like, obviously
39:34
Frankie wants this pan so I'm just going to go for it.
39:37
So he starts fucking trying to put that in, trying to fill the
39:40
whole thing. It's just blowing holes through
39:42
dude. Like 8 hours later he's like
39:43
finally, like I think we're going to have to just cut the
39:47
corner here. And I'm like, you should have
39:48
cut the corner five hours ago. Oh my God, it's all that time
39:51
for nothing. Yeah, but.
39:53
At least he tried. I don't mind it.
39:55
Like I'm paying him. So if I don't care, then
39:58
whatever. Like I'll let him try whatever
40:01
he wants to do. It doesn't help that I'm a
40:03
perfectionist. So but yeah, it's that's at the
40:05
point now where it's like he's trying to build up metal and
40:09
it's just not working. So, but yeah, that that would be
40:12
a hurdle. Like where do I stop?
40:15
And then you got the other thing where it's like the car was on
40:17
the rotisserie. And I remember Jimmy, Jimmy Oaks
40:21
and Dave Bob were the only two people that we had this
40:25
conversation with when they were here.
40:27
And they both were like, well, why don't you just take part the
40:29
rest of the car and finish it? And I was like, no, like, it's
40:35
already been this long. Do you understand what's going
40:36
to happen if we do that? And they're like, yeah, but
40:39
you're already here. And I'm like, it's going to add
40:41
no years. Yeah.
40:43
I'm like, no dude, like I don't want to do it.
40:46
And they didn't really understand because they were
40:48
just like, I don't know, like they wanted me to take the over
40:53
fenders off, seal up the quarter panels cleaner because that's
40:56
what we want to do in the future.
40:57
And they wanted me to undercoat Raptor line the rest of the car
41:02
underneath. And I'm like, dude, how many?
41:05
Like we're going to run into so many more problems if you do
41:08
that, like there's going to be so many.
41:09
You're going to grind undercoat away and you're just going to
41:12
see a rust hole and you're going to be OK.
41:13
Now I got to fucking. So the the plan is to leave that
41:17
whole section for like next winter or something like down
41:22
the line. Like if I really wanted
41:23
basically leave it to before I think I'm going to paint the
41:26
outside of the car again and that's it because the car works
41:30
as is, so whatever. But yeah, so that's biggest
41:34
hurdle, just like knowing where to draw the line because this
41:37
isn't technically a restoration. At least you're doing the whole
41:40
inside. Yeah, I'm like trying to do it
41:42
and like I like to. The way I work on cars is I like
41:46
to complete a whole section, you know, like that's how we got
41:51
into this whole problem, because the motor blew up.
41:54
I could have just fixed the motor and put it back in, but I
41:56
was like, no, I don't want to take everything out and then put
41:59
it back in and then not be happy that my engine Bay is not
42:02
painted and this and that. And I never fixed this cooler.
42:04
I never, I didn't do all this, you know what I mean?
42:07
And then before you know it, you're pulling the motor back
42:08
out again. You're stripping the whole
42:09
engine Bay. So like, yeah, that, that was
42:14
why this happened. It was like, let me pull this
42:15
out. And not to mention there's a
42:16
whole lot of other factors. There's life factors involved
42:19
that made me not want to work on the car.
42:22
There's business factors involved that made me not want
42:25
to work on the car. I don't know if I would call
42:29
burnout. It's not really burnout, but
42:31
it's just lack of interest and drifting that happened.
42:36
Yeah, you had a more more interest in the business rather
42:38
than. Yeah, I just, I was like, I
42:39
don't really give a shit. Like there's a lot of factors at
42:42
least like 3 different major factors that came into it, so I
42:45
don't know. So it just snowballed and I
42:46
didn't mind. I was like, OK, well we're going
42:48
to finish it when we finish it and it's going to be nice.
42:50
But like the glass coming out and shit, like when that
42:52
happened, it was like, OK, now we're but that all snowballs
42:54
because you're working on the engine Bay and then you're going
42:56
up to the wiper deck and then you're like, oh, there's rust
43:00
under the glass. We could just take the
43:03
windshield. Out.
43:04
We just act like we didn't see it or take the whole windshield.
43:06
Do we just act like we didn't see it and then paint literally
43:08
right around it and then there's going to be rust coming out in
43:11
two years? Or do we just take the
43:13
windshield out right now, isolate the rust areas, like
43:18
fucking grind all of it away. What do they call it when you
43:21
use the fucking rust encapsulator, all that shit.
43:26
And then what? Do you epoxy prime the whole
43:30
windshield mounting area and the engine Bay?
43:35
So that's what we ended up doing.
43:36
So now we shouldn't run into any rust problems there for probably
43:40
the rest of the car's life because we all know what's going
43:43
to end up happening in this car. Probably totaled, yeah.
43:46
Like I'm not going to get rid of it ever.
43:48
So it's going to have to. It's going.
43:50
To be totaled, yeah, it's. Going to have to get hurt pretty
43:52
bad in order to have to get rid of it.
43:55
But yeah, so that's just what happens with that shit.
43:58
I kind of like, I don't know, like I'm excited to get it done,
44:01
but I'm also like, I kind of feel bad for everyone because
44:02
it's like, it's not going to be that crazy.
44:04
I'm not painting the outside outside of the car.
44:05
It's going to look exactly like how it looked before.
44:07
Nobody cares about that. It seems like they just want to
44:11
see this the same car back on the road.
44:13
OK, Yeah. I mean, I'm excited for the
44:16
engine. Nobody's looking for like AV 2
44:19
version. Yeah, there's no V2.
44:20
I like my car the way it was, so we're just going to leave it the
44:23
way it was. It's.
44:24
Just a revival. Yeah.
44:25
I mean, the differences are though, there's no interior in
44:28
the back now, which is way different for me.
44:29
I've never had that. I've always had a full interior
44:31
in that car. So that's going to be different.
44:34
No, you're doing no interior. Yeah, I'm doing dashboard,
44:38
carpet, door cards, seats, basically everything from your
44:41
back forward is in and everything from the back is
44:45
going to be stripped because that's how all the all the cars
44:47
that I liked or idolized were like that.
44:51
But I just never want to do it because I was like, I want my
44:53
interior, I want to be comfortable.
44:54
I want I want it to be quiet. But I think after we did a JS
45:00
car, I was like, this shit looks sick inside.
45:03
Like just all painted in the back.
45:05
And I don't know. We're going to do some other
45:07
things too, like I'm going to paint the the speaker mounting
45:11
things you don't really know, but they go like right behind
45:13
the strut towers. Like inside the quarter glass is
45:17
where you mount the speakers. So we're going to like paint
45:20
those brackets the same color, mount speakers in there.
45:25
I'm still trying to figure out where I could put a sub maybe in
45:27
the back somewhere where it doesn't look like shit.
45:30
And then I'm think I'm going to mount two more speakers.
45:33
There's holes behind the seats, the driver seats where you have
45:37
access to the seatbelts and stuff.
45:40
I'm going to get like a panel and put speakers in there too.
45:43
So it's the sound. The sound should be pretty
45:45
decent inside. It's just going to suck because
45:46
it's stripped. So it's it's not going to sound
45:48
that great no matter what. But I don't know, it's going to
45:51
be cool. So that's going to be
45:53
interesting. Like putting the interior back.
45:55
But like that's so nice. Like like having the car, having
46:00
the paint work done it, dude, it's like a life altering
46:03
experience. Because then it's like, OK, now
46:05
I just have to put everything together, put everything back
46:07
together. And and it's, I'm not saying
46:09
it's easy, but it's like you're not doing something and
46:13
thinking, I got to take this back apart because it's still
46:16
not painted. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:17
Like now you're putting it in and that's it.
46:19
Like you're. Yeah, it's it.
46:20
It's going to stay there and that's it.
46:22
And then you go into the next thing and you see everything.
46:24
And it's coming together. And you're like, oh shit, this
46:27
shit looks like a car again, like.
46:28
The day it has a dashboard in there and the carpet is going to
46:31
be great. So and the engine, the engine
46:35
Bay is going to be more work obviously, because we do have
46:38
some things left to do, like the exhaust system is pretty good,
46:42
but we need to make a bracket system for the wastegate mount.
46:45
So I know that still has to get done.
46:47
There's like little things, power steering, cooler oil
46:50
coolers I wanted to do and we were trying to mock that shit up
46:54
before we painted stuff, but we decided that we're not doing
46:57
that. We're doing that all after it's
46:58
painted. So that kind of fucks with my
47:00
head a little bit because I'm like, oh, what if I have to
47:02
drill into the the panels or, but I was like, we could just
47:05
put rib nuts and make brackets if we have to.
47:10
So yeah, it's going to be interesting.
47:11
I'm I'm excited, but it's just the paint dude.
47:15
Once, once that's over, Oh my God, it'd be so much better.
47:19
It's like so stressful because you're just like, you go out
47:21
there and it looks like shit, but I have it broken down pretty
47:24
good. Like I the rear half of the
47:26
interior is already sanded like last night or whenever we were
47:29
here. It was last night, right?
47:30
We were doing the roof, the fucking ceiling.
47:35
Like that's fucking annoying as fuck because you're just getting
47:37
And then every time you do this every night, like I shower in
47:40
the mornings every every night I do this, I have to shower at
47:43
night and then in the morning again, if I, you know, give a
47:46
shit, But it's just and then, but by that time it's a fucking
47:49
12 at night. Like today.
47:50
Like I went to sleep at 12 after 12 last night, which I try not
47:57
to do. And then you just feel like shit
48:00
and you're like, all right, well, this is just what you have
48:02
to do. Like it's part of it.
48:03
Yep, just sacrifice your sleep. Yeah, so I don't know.
48:08
It's coming together. Yeah, I like talking about my
48:10
car now, so it must be something must be going.
48:12
You see in progress, yeah. Did you see that one?
48:20
Why does Carl follow an Instagram page called Snow Bunny
48:22
TV? Well, let's look it up.
48:24
Let's make sure that's not a lie.
48:25
First, let's see snow Bunny TV. Why is Carl following this snow
48:30
Bunny? Oh, you got another one?
48:32
What happened to the hot lab? Fuck him.
48:35
Shit Snow but followed by Carl. Damn.
48:40
All right. OK, Carl.
48:42
You can't hide from no one. All right, Carl.
48:47
Better not look at my shit because I followed some weird
48:49
ass shit. Oh, we don't want all that.
48:51
Why does he follow this page? It is a terrible page.
48:54
Really, it doesn't. Maybe they maybe it was someone
48:56
else and then they just changed it to that.
48:58
That happens all the time. I'll be on Instagram and I'll
49:00
just like, what the fuck is this?
49:02
I didn't follow this. This barely any snow Bunny shit.
49:10
Why Jamie Lee Curtis got some big ass milkers.
49:13
You saw that shit? Someone sent me that Josh.
49:15
Josh sent me that. He's like, I know why Frankie
49:17
likes Halloween now. He's like, what in the hell?
49:22
What the hell? What the Jamie Lee?
49:27
Right, back to the questions. Frankie's been such a big help
49:29
with the fucking car. Oh my God.
49:31
Yeah. Do you think he's having fun
49:32
with it? I think he's the saviour of that
49:34
car, for one. Yeah, because.
49:39
Me trying to get a ton me. Trying to get Ethan here to do
49:41
that while he's like building a house and it would have never
49:43
happened. Even when Ethan wasn't building
49:45
a house, he'd be here for like an hour, be like, all right, I'm
49:47
done. Yeah, he, he's like, he's not
49:50
into it that much. Like Frankie's into fabrication
49:52
work. Yeah, Ethan likes it.
49:55
But he's not could do it. Yeah, but it's not like he does
49:58
enjoy it. I know he does.
49:59
But getting him to get to that position is hard.
50:03
And you know, it's as far from his house and all that.
50:05
Frankie lives one town over so but yeah, yeah, he definitely is
50:11
like the fucking savior of that project right now.
50:13
And not to mention, like I, I want to get depending on what
50:16
this other customer says with the blue car, if he agrees to
50:19
whatever I propose with the rotisserie, that's even more
50:22
motivation for me to get this car off because.
50:25
Wait, you're going to let the car leave and then do a
50:28
rotisserie? Or yeah, yeah, that's what I
50:30
that's what I proposed to him. He didn't get back to me yet,
50:32
but I know he wants to. We got a customer in here that
50:35
wants to really like to refresh this car.
50:37
You guys probably seen it on YouTube videos.
50:39
There's a a blue hatch in here. He just wants like a refresh to
50:44
he wants like a brand new 240. That's what he wants.
50:46
He's always wanted that. He had he had one before we did
50:49
a lot of work on it and then he found another one that was like
50:51
stock. So he got that and he wants to
50:53
just swap everything over. So we're doing that right now.
50:54
We're powder coating a lot of stuff, but he wants to drive the
50:58
car for like the rest of the summer and whatever.
51:03
So it's the next year project or winter project or something?
51:06
Yeah, so he saw the rotisserie. He saw my car.
51:08
He's like, yeah. I mean, you know, I was like,
51:10
look, if you got an open checkbook, then we're good.
51:14
Yeah. If you don't, then don't even
51:16
think about doing this because I can tell you right now, we were
51:19
talking about this the other day.
51:20
Frankie has 60 hours into my car right now.
51:23
Just him, not me. Like not Ethan either so.
51:29
That's a lot. That's a lot of time and Frankie
51:32
works. He doesn't bullshit.
51:33
Yeah, yeah, he's. Yeah, so all that labor time is
51:37
actual work. His headphones in, just fucking
51:39
cranking. Yeah, so that's 60 hours into a
51:42
car that's going to be crashed into other cars for fun.
51:46
Like if you wanted to do this on a real, a real restoration,
51:50
dude, the hour, the hours are so insane.
51:55
They rack up real quick. Yeah.
51:58
So I don't know. And he's got a lot of rust on
52:00
that car. So like whether we, I don't want
52:03
to do the inside honestly, like I just leave the inside of the
52:06
way it is, put it on the rotisserie, flip it, take the
52:09
engine out because we got to get in there and then the subframes
52:13
will all be off. Flip it and just look for all
52:16
the rust order whatever we have to order for panels and then
52:21
just, you know, start fixing the rust.
52:24
Undercoat it or Raptor line it, whatever he wants to do.
52:28
Not under we don't under code here, but I would paint it
52:31
probably and not Raptor line it if you wanted to do that.
52:37
And then just throw everything back on because we already
52:39
powder coated all the subframes and everything.
52:41
You know, I mean, like it won't be that crazy.
52:43
Like he's getting a lot of the work done now, a lot of the bulk
52:46
of the work that the only other thing would be like powder coat
52:49
the calipers, disassemble the different, the differential coat
52:53
that whatever we want to do, rebuild it.
52:58
E brake cables wouldn't need to be replaced, but yeah, brake
53:02
calipers, brake lines and then the front subframe and that's
53:06
pretty much it. We already powder coated the
53:08
knuckles, the control arms, he's got SPL everything in that car.
53:13
The front lower control arms are done, new bushings.
53:16
So yeah, it wouldn't be that crazy.
53:17
It would just be a lot of Labor for the rust repair, so.
53:21
But yeah, it'd be cool to do that.
53:22
I don't know actually use a rotisserie for something other
53:24
than other than my for actual customer.
53:26
Yeah. So that'd be cool, yeah.
53:33
Anything else going on in the shop lately?
53:38
No, I don't. Know well today we had a car in
53:44
a car was brought here that's going to be in a movie soon so
53:46
that was cool. Oh yeah, going to be in an indie
53:48
film. Yeah, an indie film that's being
53:52
shot next month, I guess. Yeah, but the main actress,
53:58
actor, actress. No, no, no.
54:01
Is like pretty well known, we were told.
54:04
But yeah, yeah, that's all the details we got.
54:07
Yeah, I don't know how much we can really say about that
54:09
without me getting into some kind of crazy.
54:11
Basically the guy told me some details in order to get me
54:14
excited because the the car came here and he was like the phone
54:17
call started with all four brake calipers of the Z31 are are
54:22
fucking. Leaking, leaking.
54:24
That's what they said. Yeah.
54:25
And we were like, OK, he's like, we can't get calipers.
54:28
Malcolm was like, oh, maybe we can upgrade to Z32 front
54:31
calipers this and that, which is possible.
54:34
But the rears, the rears might be possible too.
54:37
But it's going to be a decent, not a decent amount, but a
54:40
little bit of custom work that I don't think we're going to be
54:42
able to do in the time frame that he needs it done.
54:45
So I was like, I, I wasn't excited.
54:50
And right off the bat he's like, so you can guarantee this is
54:52
going to be done in two weeks. And I was like, dude, I'm not
54:54
guaranteeing anything. Like you just said you brought
54:56
it to four different mechanics. They said the calipers are
54:59
leaking and they can't get parts.
55:01
I'm not guaranteeing anything like, but I'm not going to say
55:04
anything until you bring the car here.
55:06
So then he brought the car here and Chris already took it apart
55:09
and looked at it and it looks like no calipers are leaking.
55:12
All the calipers are working just fine.
55:14
Yeah. So it needs a brake job and some
55:16
tires maybe. And that's it.
55:18
So I don't know who lied to him or what, but the guy seems
55:21
pretty honest and cool. Yeah.
55:24
So it's it's a weird situation, but it might be cool.
55:27
We might we might fix a car that's like, and this movie is
55:30
about the car. Really.
55:32
The car is like the third actor. He said.
55:33
Like, Oh, really? Yeah.
55:34
Like it's a it's a big part of the movie.
55:37
Has a big presence, yeah, so that's cool.
55:40
You seen the movie Cars? No.
55:41
OK. You know, Lightning McQueen.
55:43
Yeah, yeah. So that's kind of cool.
55:47
That's pretty much it. We've been busy this month,
55:49
which is kind of normal. August is busy for some reason.
55:52
And a lot of cars going in and out.
55:55
Yeah, a lot of zinc plating on that car getting done.
55:59
Louis is learning how to do it. Louis is actually here right now
56:01
somewhere. I forgot.
56:02
Yeah, me too. So Louis is actually here
56:04
somewhere. So he's doing that stuff.
56:08
Yeah. Just moving along.
56:09
Just hoping the work doesn't stop because that would suck.
56:13
Yeah, summer's almost over, but we seem like we're doing all
56:17
right so far. Might have Ken come and help out
56:19
with us in the shop or doing parts and stuff.
56:22
Yeah. Ken Fuji, he's been on here
56:24
before. Logistics work.
56:27
Yeah, So that'll be helpful. You still like your job,
56:30
Malcolm? I still show up every day, so
56:34
yeah, I guess so. It took you a little while.
56:36
I don't know. I'm getting kind of scary.
56:38
I show up every day. Yeah.
56:41
Is that how I'll know like when you start calling out?
56:46
Not really, no. I'll still come.
56:49
I feel like you wouldn't call out.
56:50
No, I'm not much of A call outer.
56:53
I feel like Princess would be the one to break the news to me.
56:57
Yeah, like my mom called. Yeah.
56:59
Hey, he's not coming in today. I don't.
57:00
Think Malcolm would be able to tell me that he's leaving me?
57:04
See. He quits, Yeah.
57:06
Like, OK, we gotta, we have to have a big conversation.
57:08
Oh. Fuck, he can't talk to you face
57:10
to face. He's then I'd be begging Ken,
57:12
like Ken, please don't find a real job.
57:13
Just keep working here. Like, yeah, shit would be bad.
57:17
I do have nightmares about that. That's crazy.
57:20
Sometimes I have nightmares that apart never shows up.
57:23
Oh fuck. Or I'll have like a good dream
57:25
where the part finally comes in. Oh, so you used to make fun of
57:29
me all the time. You're like, dude, you really
57:30
dream about this shit? Yeah, it's not fun, dude.
57:32
Yeah, now you're dreaming. About fun.
57:35
It's not fucking fun. That means that means shit's
57:38
shit's happening to you too now. Yep, it's not good.
57:42
I called the ugly. Or it means you give a shit
57:45
about your job, which is nice. But you know, maybe I don't
57:49
know, it's just like I. Don't know.
57:52
We had a It's just we had a good conversation today about work, a
57:57
random conversation with any Zeus.
58:00
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You know about shit that happens
58:04
and. Sometimes you got to.
58:05
Power through, yeah, shit that happens in this industry, I
58:09
guess, or like. You got to know when shit
58:11
pertains to you and know when it doesn't.
58:12
Know when it's not that big of a deal?
58:15
Yeah, but at the end of the day, it's all about taking care of
58:18
the customers and making sure everyone's on the same page.
58:21
Honesty is key. If you're not honest, if you're
58:24
trying to hide something, it's going to come back to bite you
58:26
in the ass. And I'm actually someone that
58:28
doesn't believe in karma, but I know that if you fucking lie to
58:33
someone and then they catch you in a lie, it's going to come
58:37
back to you. That's just how it works.
58:39
Like, like, I don't believe in karma in the aspect of like.
58:44
Like if I give a homeless guy 5 bucks today then I'll have a
58:47
great day tomorrow type, yeah. That's, that's a good example.
58:50
Like if I do something nice for you, then the universe is just
58:53
going to bless me with something.
58:54
I don't really believe in that. Yeah, but I believe in not
58:58
fucking people over. Like don't do that because it's,
59:02
it's just, you're just asking for trouble, man.
59:04
And, and so many businesses do that.
59:07
It's like some businesses, some of the businesses we fucking
59:10
work with, like, not local businesses like like parts.
59:14
$1,000,000 businesses. Yeah, like I, I, I feel like
59:17
they're just built online. Yeah.
59:19
Like literally we had so many, a lot of our customers on the
59:23
retail side, they come to us because we tell them what's
59:25
going on. Like, and I'm sure we dropped
59:27
the ball before. Like I know we dropped the ball
59:29
before. Like we didn't update someone or
59:31
we forgot that. Yeah.
59:33
That this we forgot that we didn't update this guy about but
59:36
what we. Definitely don't do is spread
59:38
misinformation and. What we definitely don't do is
59:40
get an order in for a part that we know is back ordered and then
59:45
not talk to them like ever. And then they'll reach out.
59:49
And this has been a thing that's happened with other companies
59:53
and the customers will tell us they'll be like, yeah, I mean, I
59:55
just ordered this with so and so and and I reached out like a
1:00:00
month later, like, hey, where is this?
1:00:01
And they decided to tell me that it's back order or is
1:00:03
discontinued. It's like bro what like I mean.
1:00:09
I mean, I guess it's just part of business.
1:00:10
Like they probably have a million orders.
1:00:13
You know, we don't have a million orders.
1:00:14
So right now it's like we're, we're capable of keeping track
1:00:18
of everything. But like when, when businesses
1:00:22
scale, sometimes, sometimes business owners just get a
1:00:25
little bit greedy, like, oh, we're scaling, but I'm not going
1:00:28
to hire someone else. Yeah.
1:00:30
And also when you start to get real big, it's hard to handle
1:00:36
quality control because the the relationship between you and
1:00:41
your employees kind of just like barely there.
1:00:44
Yeah, when you have more employees, yeah, and there's
1:00:46
more people and. Then you're employed are just
1:00:47
like I don't give a fuck, like I don't know the I don't know the
1:00:49
guy who owns this building at this business.
1:00:51
So it's like I don't give a fuck.
1:00:54
I'm getting paid fucking not great.
1:00:56
So if I get fired, whatever. That's when you need to start.
1:00:59
If you're at a point where that is a business that you're
1:01:01
already pretty fucking beat, yeah, but.
1:01:05
Well, that's why those multi $1,000,000 businesses pay those
1:01:08
people so little, because it's like they're easily replaceable
1:01:13
and they know they're going to cycle through employees.
1:01:15
I could never imagine owning a business like this and doing
1:01:18
that because like, your whole reputation is basically
1:01:21
everything. Your reputation is basically
1:01:23
everything in this industry because like, it only takes a
1:01:27
couple people to fuck your life up if they really wanted to, and
1:01:31
that's why you don't fuck people over.
1:01:33
Because if I fuck with the one wrong person, everything would
1:01:35
be done. Yeah, if I fucked like 4 people
1:01:37
over in a month, all four of those people are going to make
1:01:39
some Instagram posts this and that.
1:01:41
Like you're just asking. For trouble, yeah.
1:01:44
Like you can't do that kind of stuff.
1:01:46
So I don't know. And then the, I mean one, one of
1:01:51
I guess I shouldn't name drop, but fuck it, that company Fr
1:01:55
sport. Like they, you know, I told you
1:01:57
the whole story like they used to be a pretty big wholesaler
1:02:00
for us. Like we would buy a lot of stuff
1:02:02
from them. And then like all of a sudden
1:02:06
shit just got bad. I'm pretty sure they owe me
1:02:09
money, like thousands of dollars, but shit.
1:02:12
And then my, the sales person that I had there, just just
1:02:17
she's, she's like, Oh, I, I got fired or something.
1:02:19
I'm like, how the fuck did they fire you?
1:02:22
And then like it turned into like no one's there.
1:02:24
But then you go on their website and they're selling parts.
1:02:26
That's crazy. Did they sell the business and
1:02:28
then? I don't know.
1:02:30
That person just dropped the ball.
1:02:31
On I think the last thing I heard was that, and this is all
1:02:33
alleged stuff, the last thing I heard was that someone bought a
1:02:37
bunch of like equipment thinking that they were going to work on
1:02:43
cars and then they just didn't do that so they spent a lot of
1:02:46
money in the wrong spot and then.
1:02:48
Oh, they, I think they cover. Fired people that should have
1:02:51
stayed because they were dealing with all the orders.
1:02:53
At the end of the day, just go to their Instagram and go to the
1:02:55
comments. That's all I'm going to say.
1:02:57
Oh yeah, people are like, where's my shit?
1:02:59
Yeah, Every comment is where's my shit?
1:03:00
Where's this? Where's my money?
1:03:01
Where's that? Like in everyone I talk to, it
1:03:04
has the same questions. Like they're like, yeah, they
1:03:07
owe me this, they owe me that. I'm like, I don't know, they're
1:03:09
still open it looks like. Yeah, how are they not shut down
1:03:12
by? We should just call them one
1:03:13
day, be like yo are you guys? Is this real?
1:03:16
Are these these Instagram comments like real?
1:03:19
Yeah. So I don't know, but there's
1:03:21
companies like that that I don't know.
1:03:23
I guess something just happens and.
1:03:25
You just got to be honest in life to succeed.
1:03:30
Well, there's people who lie a lot and probably are just fine.
1:03:35
But like, when I, when I stop and think about though, it
1:03:37
doesn't take much to fucking completely turn this place
1:03:39
upside down. Like, if you quit, yeah,
1:03:42
tomorrow we'd be in trouble. Like, not only physical trouble,
1:03:48
like, I don't know how I would handle your workload, but like,
1:03:53
I'd be mentally distraught because I'd be like, you know, I
1:03:57
mean, I don't have to say it, you know?
1:03:58
Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:04:00
What would happen? Like everyone here right now is
1:04:03
integral to this company because there's only four or five.
1:04:07
Like there's it's a small amount of people.
1:04:10
So who knows, maybe something like that happened to them.
1:04:14
You know what I mean? Like I don't.
1:04:14
Know, Yeah, maybe one person just made the whole thing
1:04:17
crumble. Exactly.
1:04:19
You never know. And then you get so comfortable
1:04:21
in your ways, which I feel already like I used to do
1:04:23
everything here. Now you do like 70% of
1:04:26
everything inside that office. You know what I mean?
1:04:28
Well, maybe like 60, but you do more work than me, so now it's.
1:04:36
So then you get used to that, right?
1:04:37
So now you get used to and then you implement new things that
1:04:41
only you know, and then, and then.
1:04:43
That's where it like should have started making a handbook of
1:04:47
everything I did from the start. So say we do hire somebody, be
1:04:52
like, oh, here's a handbook. This is everything.
1:04:54
Yeah, yes, yes and no. I mean, as long as as long as,
1:04:58
even if you did leave, as long as it didn't end in fucking
1:05:00
flames, which is, which is why you're not an asshole boss.
1:05:05
Like that's why you try to not be a Dick.
1:05:08
Then then you'd be able to teach every someone else, you know
1:05:11
what I mean? So you know, it's just like, I
1:05:15
don't know, there's benefits to having more employees, but
1:05:17
there's, there's drawbacks. And then the only drawback I
1:05:20
know is that it's going to be way more stressful.
1:05:23
I think. I think stress in business is
1:05:28
directly related to how many employees you have so far.
1:05:30
That's my theory. The more people you're in
1:05:33
control of is how much more stressed you're going to be
1:05:35
because now there's another mouth you have to feed every
1:05:38
month, like and if you don't, there's going to be a problem.
1:05:41
So that means that that's another however many thousands
1:05:44
of dollars you have to make every week or else you're going
1:05:47
to be fucked. You know what I mean?
1:05:49
So, but that's like that's something we always did here for
1:05:52
like the last two or three years, ever since we had more
1:05:55
employees, we were always like, we are going to run on a
1:05:58
skeleton crew. Like we're going to do as much
1:06:00
as we possibly can with the few amount of people.
1:06:03
That way we don't need to add more.
1:06:06
Stress to this and it helps here that we're you're 100%
1:06:13
transparent about the whole business like finance wise
1:06:17
everything. So it's like.
1:06:18
Oh, so we see everything. Yeah, we see everything.
1:06:20
We know it's nothing's a lie. We know.
1:06:22
Like we literally have to work this hard in in order to do
1:06:25
this. I feel like the easiest way
1:06:26
would just be look in my truck. Yeah.
1:06:30
I always go back to that. There's so many of those memes
1:06:33
where it's like the boss pulling up one I.
1:06:36
Don't think so, but I I could imagine.
1:06:38
Just pulls up in a brand new truck.
1:06:39
Hey good job today guys. Thanks for everything like
1:06:42
buying me this new truck or some shit.
1:06:44
I don't know. It was like some video and it
1:06:45
was so perfect, but I was it made me feel like shit.
1:06:47
I was like damn, can I never get a new truck?
1:06:50
Like, is everyone going to feel like that?
1:06:52
No, yeah, I don't think we wouldn't feel that way.
1:06:55
Yeah. And plus, I don't think I can
1:06:57
ever buy a new truck. Like I'll buy something that's
1:06:59
like, used, but yeah. Yeah, I don't know, but yeah,
1:07:02
that helps with this for us at least this for Faction
1:07:05
Motorsports, we all literally know everything about the
1:07:08
business and we literally have meetings about it and.
1:07:13
You can. You can literally see how much
1:07:15
money we don't make. Yeah.
1:07:17
And then we take all that with a grain of salt and go out and do
1:07:21
what we got to do to try to make more money.
1:07:23
Yeah, that's just a small business and big.
1:07:29
Problem. Small business, I guess it's
1:07:32
like what people always say. It's like passion like it is.
1:07:35
It is driven by passion, I guess, at the end of the day.
1:07:38
It's just a hobby shop. It's just a small hobby shop.
1:07:41
No, but like, like as much as as much shit as I talk on drifting,
1:07:45
like I obviously still like drifting.
1:07:48
I wouldn't, yeah, I wouldn't be excited to come here.
1:07:51
You revolved your life around drifting.
1:07:53
Yeah, and I like it's, it's fine.
1:07:57
I don't hate drifting. It's just sometimes you got to
1:08:00
take a little break once in a while.
1:08:01
Yeah, that's fine. Shit is.
1:08:04
I don't know, you know when you're playing a video game that
1:08:06
you'd fucking love new video game, But there's one level you
1:08:11
just like, I fucking can't beat this level.
1:08:14
And you fucking keep trying and keep trying and keep trying and
1:08:16
can't beat it. Put the controller down, forget
1:08:18
about it for like a week. Go back and beat it first try.
1:08:21
That's probably what's going to feel like.
1:08:22
I don't understand that, but I can directly relate that to some
1:08:24
with cars you're working on, you're working all day.
1:08:27
You're you're still working on this one section and you can't
1:08:30
fucking get it. And it's like it, it's at the
1:08:32
point now where it's 7:00 PM and you're like, I'm going to start
1:08:34
breaking shit if I can go and you go, OK, I have to just go
1:08:38
home and come in tomorrow and you come in tomorrow and you do
1:08:42
it within 4 minutes. Yeah, you're like, oh, OK.
1:08:43
I would have just. All that is, is.
1:08:45
Exhausted. Tired.
1:08:46
It's it's yeah, it's exhaustion. Yeah, it's like brain exhaustion
1:08:51
or whatever. Like you're just not thinking
1:08:53
your. Mental power, which is depleted,
1:08:56
yeah. So I I get that, but yeah, well,
1:09:00
I mean, we didn't know what to expect with this podcast, but
1:09:03
hey, I think this was a good business oriented 1 and shop
1:09:06
update so the. Last for the latter half.
1:09:08
Yeah, we talked way too much in the beginning and hopefully no
1:09:10
one skipped through that, Yeah. But we're still going to the
1:09:12
Renaissance Fair. I literally I want to go.
1:09:16
Yeah, all right, fine. Nice, nice.
1:09:21
Why do we have to dress up? You don't have to.
1:09:24
I want to dress as a peasant. You can dress like that, you
1:09:27
look fine right now. OK, thanks.
1:09:29
Fuck. All right guys.
1:09:33
Well, I hope you enjoyed this episode of just me and Malcolm
1:09:36
bullshitting. Carl was very upset about not
1:09:39
being able to do this. You can tell.
1:09:41
With Carl at work. He he he doesn't want to miss
1:09:44
these podcasts he because he knows that he is the reason that
1:09:48
this started. So yeah, he's never missed one.
1:09:50
Yeah, actually, you know, it's funny.
1:09:51
He did Miss 1. He did.
1:09:53
And I didn't even know that I didn't remember.
1:09:55
How was it? It had to be fucking 1st 10
1:09:57
episodes. I think so, yeah, because he, he
1:09:59
mentioned it. He was like, I was just at work
1:10:01
one night like and I, I couldn't go or some shit.
1:10:03
Oh, no, I do remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:10:05
It was me, Chris and you and Carl wasn't there.
1:10:09
Really. What the fuck did we talk about?
1:10:10
I mean, honestly. It was a that.
1:10:12
Sounds like a good podcast episode.
1:10:14
It was. It was in the old office with
1:10:16
the old mics, like the very first mics that Carl bought.
1:10:20
Yeah. And I don't know what it was
1:10:23
about. I think it was, it was something
1:10:24
about it was 240 related, something like that.
1:10:30
You know how we were trying to have topics for the first few
1:10:32
podcasts like yeah yeah, Budget or which wasn't a bad idea.
1:10:36
Either but. Yeah, it was one of those
1:10:39
podcasts. Honestly, that was that was when
1:10:42
like I really was like trying to put ever into this.
1:10:45
Yeah, yeah, make like structured episode.
1:10:48
That should ended in like 10 episodes.
1:10:49
Yeah, then we're like, we could have a guest on.
1:10:52
Yeah, we literally just copied whatever Joe Rogan did and we
1:10:56
were like, we're just going to go with that.
1:10:57
Like if, if it if it works, it works.
1:10:59
If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
1:11:02
But we've been getting thousands of downloads a month.
1:11:04
So I just want to say thank you to everyone, and more
1:11:07
importantly, thank you to everyone who buys anything from
1:11:10
our website, because that is probably the reason why this
1:11:14
podcast continued and went to, I guess the level of it is now.
1:11:17
I still feel like we didn't spend much money on this, but
1:11:21
people act. Like we did, we put a lot of
1:11:23
time in. We definitely put a lot of time
1:11:25
in. This room.
1:11:25
Was pretty hard to set up. We wired all the cameras up.
1:11:28
We had to find all these cameras.
1:11:30
Yeah. But we're happy that you guys
1:11:31
find enjoyment in these. Yeah, for the past how many?
1:11:37
Two years or more? Two years.
1:11:39
I don't know, but it's been a long time.
1:11:43
Maybe over 2 years. I will say one thing about Final
1:11:45
Bout. I am I am bummed we're not doing
1:11:47
podcasts. That's my favorite part about
1:11:48
Final Bout now. Yeah, yeah, those podcasts
1:11:51
always brought like a different. It's the those are the best
1:11:54
podcasts. Yeah.
1:11:55
Yeah. So that I'm very upset about
1:11:57
that. We just couldn't.
1:11:58
It didn't make sense. It did not make sense to go
1:12:01
drive across the country for multiple nights because if we're
1:12:05
doing podcasts, we need to leave before all you guys come out.
1:12:07
Then we have to fly you guys out because the shop has to keep
1:12:10
running and then it's just we spend a lot of money to go to
1:12:14
final bout. So if we don't have a vending, A
1:12:17
vendor booth and we don't make that money back then.
1:12:21
Yeah, it's like it it. Yeah, it hits our pockets pretty
1:12:24
hard. Yeah, it's a, it's, it would be
1:12:26
pretty detrimental. We we thought we could pull it
1:12:30
off, you know, just flying out there and what not.
1:12:34
But Carl's got plans as well. So you know it, it is what it
1:12:38
is. But hey, maybe we can make it up
1:12:40
with the Super D event. I hope so.
1:12:44
I really hope so. Like even if, even if Julian
1:12:45
just lets us come out and you know, all I want to do is just
1:12:50
drive a couple laps. I'd like.
1:12:51
I'm not trying to join the comp. I'm not trying to, I'm not
1:12:53
trying to do any of that. I just want to give me an excuse
1:12:56
to go out. There.
1:12:57
Literally, yeah. Just give me an excuse to
1:12:59
fucking go out there. That's it.
1:13:01
Yeah, I don't. I don't mind anything else.
1:13:04
And, and if we did do that trip, we would be doing podcasts on
1:13:07
the way. We'd go through Texas.
1:13:09
So we'd hit, yeah, we'd hit all the Texas spots.
1:13:13
We got a lot of homes out there. Davis's home?
1:13:15
Yeah, home turf. Yeah, like it would be.
1:13:18
It would be really good. So we're really shooting for
1:13:21
that. I'm probably going to be here
1:13:25
all weekend again working on the car that's.
1:13:27
What you got to do dude, you got you got bad time perception.
1:13:32
I do, I know. So November is way closer than
1:13:34
you think. I do know I have bad time
1:13:36
perception. You've made me aware of that.
1:13:41
No, I, I I do know that. But yeah, it is what it is.
1:13:44
Fuck, man. Hey.
1:13:50
And and another another thing while I'm venting.
1:13:53
Come on, I'm listening. We don't make any money off
1:13:57
these podcasts. Oh yeah, we have sponsors.
1:14:00
Some of them we trade things for one thing.
1:14:06
Some of them pay us the money we get, basically pays Carl to come
1:14:12
here. Yes.
1:14:13
Because Carl did this for free. For two years.
1:14:16
For yeah, a long time. And he would spend all of his
1:14:20
money coming and I would buy him dinner.
1:14:23
Like that was it. And I felt bad forever about it.
1:14:26
And obviously we work on his car and all that shit, but like,
1:14:28
yeah. And I would pay for drift
1:14:29
events. So I I would try to make it.
1:14:31
Accommodate. Accommodate.
1:14:32
But eventually I was like, I want to be able to pay him
1:14:36
because he's spending time here, Like, yeah.
1:14:38
And it's his idea. Doing making money somewhere.
1:14:41
Else exactly. So now, now we're able to do
1:14:43
that with the sponsor income, but like other than that, like
1:14:47
we make I think a couple 100 bucks on Spotify, which is
1:14:51
amazing. Thank God, because we never
1:14:53
expected to make money off of that.
1:14:55
Never. So thank God for Spotify giving
1:14:57
a podcast hosts a way to make money.
1:15:02
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that was, you're not
1:15:04
doing that on Apple, like any of that shit.
1:15:06
They're not doing that. So so yeah, thank God for that.
1:15:09
But like, other than that, the Patreon is the only way we make
1:15:13
any money. And we know that our Patreon
1:15:15
subscribers are mostly from the podcast.
1:15:17
So thank you for that. And we are trying to get more
1:15:21
content out there for you. And it's just, you know, it's
1:15:24
one of those things where it's like, like, what are we going to
1:15:27
do this? And that we got to like
1:15:28
basically we, we brainstorm every couple couple months and
1:15:31
try to think of some ideas and then we'll go from there.
1:15:33
But if there's anything you guys are looking for specifically,
1:15:37
let us know. If you guys want to check out
1:15:39
some of that content, make sure to head over the Patreon and see
1:15:41

1:15:46
Oh, he usually. What does he say?
1:15:50
All right, Fuck. What does he?
1:15:51
Say I don't think he says you. No, he's like that was thank you
1:15:54
for. Oh, he's probably like, all
1:15:56
right, guys. That was another episode of the
1:15:57
After Hours podcast. Something like that, yeah.
1:15:59
We'll check you on the next one. Definitely doesn't say that.
