• 0:00
  Hey there, welcome back to another episode of the Faction
• 0:03
  After Hours podcast. I was trying to change it up
• 0:06
  since I say the same thing every time.
• 0:08
  On today's episode we have Josh from Team Proceed, better known
• 0:13
  as Revgasm. If you guys are from the Sylvia
• 0:16
  days, Josh is part of Team Proceed and they are from
• 0:21
  Chicago. He is a really big inspiration
• 0:24
  of mine and I know a lot of others in the Drift community,
• 0:27
  as you know, at least of my age I would say.
• 0:30
  So this was a pretty big one for me and I don't think I really
• 0:33
  realized that until the last 10 minutes of the podcast.
• 0:37
  So I get kind of emotional towards the end.
• 0:40
  You guys are going to enjoy it, I'm sure.
• 0:41
  I don't. So make sure you listen to the
• 0:44
  end. And yeah, if you want to check
• 0:47
  out what we were looking at while we were doing this, we
• 0:49
  have a YouTube portion as well, so make sure you check that out.
• 0:53
  His garage is amazing. So thanks again to Josh for
• 0:56
  letting us come out there and do this podcast in his garage with
• 1:00
  his amazing cars and all the stuff he's collected over the
• 1:03
  years surrounding us. Enjoy.
• 1:05
  This is episode two of our final bout journey, so enjoy.

• 1:47
  by Automotive Specialty Wraps. Automotive Specialty Wraps is a
• 1:50
  company specializing in paint protection, film, vehicle wraps,
• 1:53
  ceramic coatings and window tinting.
• 1:55
  Located in Fairlawn, New Jersey. Owned and operated by car
• 1:59
  enthusiasts and Drifters, their technicians have over 10 years
• 2:02
  of experience in the industry. The ceramic coating is what
• 2:05
  really caught my attention when they reached out to us.
• 2:08
  This coating basically gives your cars paint extra UV
• 2:10
  protection while also making it shine.
• 2:13
  Wax only lasts for a couple weeks at most, but ceramic
• 2:16
  coating lasts for a year or longer.
• 2:18
  They perform a full two stage Polish to the car beforehand to
• 2:21
  make sure the vehicle is in perfect condition before
• 2:24
  applying the coating. As mentioned, they also offer
• 2:27
  window tinting and paint protection film installations.
• 2:30
  Now everyone knows what window tinting is, but these guys offer
• 2:33
  carbon or ceramic tinting depending on your goals with the
• 2:36
  vehicle. Paint protection film or PPF is
• 2:40
  a great idea for those new vehicle owners that don't want
• 2:42
  to get stuck behind an 18 Wheeler on the way home one
• 2:45
  night and then get out and realize your front end is
• 2:47
  littered with rock chips. I'm looking at you Subaru
• 2:49
  owners. Paint sucks so make sure you
• 2:52
  protect it fast before you regret it.
• 2:54
  I need a new paint job. Also keep in mind they are
• 2:56
  capable of getting liveries designed and installed as well
• 2:59
  as full vehicle wraps. From protecting your toe rigs
• 3:03
  exterior to full livery installations on your drift car,
• 3:06
  they have you covered. You can contact them at
• 3:09
  automotive specialtywraps.com and make sure to give them a
• 3:12
  follow on Instagram at Automotive Specialty Wraps.
• 3:22
  But are we hot? Yeah, you're hot.
• 3:24
  Welcome everybody. The Fashion After Hours podcast
• 3:26
  is the second episode of our little final bout, Journey.
• 3:30
  Frankie's about to drink a hot chocolate and we have another
• 3:33
  guest. We have Revgasm, Josh.
• 3:37
  Or do you want me to use your government?
• 3:39
  He's like, oh God, do you want to use your government?
• 3:40
  Josh M. Yeah, Josh Josh M It's so
• 3:43
  embarrassing. Or just Revgasm.
• 3:45
  That's what people know me as, I guess.
• 3:46
  Yeah, how is that embarrassing? It's probably one of the coolest
• 3:48
  names ever. Carl, you're Filipino.
• 3:50
  You need to say his name properly.
• 3:52
  Mcgiran, Yeah. Mcgiran.
• 3:54
  Mcgiran. There you go.
• 3:56
  I usually don't like. Spit it with like a thick
• 3:58
  accent. So just people.
• 3:59
  It's just hard for me to not. So people can just try to hit it
• 4:02
  by the. I tried to dull it down for
• 4:04
  Frankie and be like, just say like McGee, Ray.
• 4:06
  Yeah, you give me the white version.
• 4:09
  I'd rather that than somebody trying to put it, you know,
• 4:12
  twist to it. I'm like, stop.
• 4:13
  Not thank you. It's OK, Josh.
• 4:16
  M's good. But again, thank you.
• 4:17
  Thank you so much for letting us be here.
• 4:19
  We just had some wild conversation.
• 4:21
  I got to learn about you a little bit more as a person.
• 4:23
  We didn't get really to talk last time we met.
• 4:24
  We. Yeah, I know.
• 4:25
  Couple years ago and you took us to the best.
• 4:27
  Breakfast I've ever had. Yeah, I think I agree with that.
• 4:30
  Yeah, I think also maybe we were a little famished, like from the
• 4:35
  weekend we were traveling and shit.
• 4:37
  But God man, you, I got to learn about you a little bit as a
• 4:41
  person just now and that you you grind for your stuff, dude.
• 4:44
  And it's kind of evident. So today we're kind of kind of
• 4:47
  talk about what are we going to talk about today, honestly
• 4:51
  probably probably your origin story.
• 4:53
  Yeah, I feel like a lot of people like to hear the origin
• 4:55
  story. A lot of people also like to
• 4:56
  know that there's a person behind you.
• 4:58
  Yeah, like it's not behind it, behind the Instagram.
• 5:00
  It's not just this. That's the person.
• 5:02
  That's your persona. Yeah, yeah man.
• 5:05
  And the other thing is we're we're kinda on a time crunch, so
• 5:08
  I'm gonna apologize before we even start.
• 5:10
  Are we? This one will be probably.
• 5:12
  Crazy. I was like, oh man, I already
• 5:13
  had one of these on me. Next week.
• 5:15
  I know it's gonna be eight, 8:00.
• 5:16
  I mean, pizza's good, but like if we're if we're vibing, OK?
• 5:20
  I don't know if it's. Well, he's called it the P Word
• 5:24
  Pizza. You said there was a lasagna
• 5:26
  earlier and that shit cracked me up.
• 5:28
  But yeah, for those of you who are listening that don't know
• 5:30
  what we're referring to, the pizza here is what would you
• 5:33
  call that Chicago's deep dish? Chicago style, Yeah.
• 5:36
  Just that's deep dish, yeah, but Carl hasn't had it yet.
• 5:39
  I've never had it. I've I don't even know if I've
• 5:43
  eaten it. I've witnessed it do.
• 5:46
  We didn't even eat it. I think I got one.
• 5:48
  I was there. I was at that.
• 5:49
  What's the name of the spot? P quads, P quads.
• 5:51
  Yeah, that's like, that's like one of the main spots that the
• 5:54
  final bout, like when you come to Chicago, that's like one of
• 5:57
  the first. Is that a touristy?
• 5:59
  Spot. I don't know if it's a touristy
• 6:00
  spot, but like for for people that maybe know the like the
• 6:03
  bigger names of deep dish, like Giordano's, Illuminati's,
• 6:07
  there's like the two most common ones probably out that's.
• 6:09
  Super fucking Italian names. But P quads, I'm not even gonna
• 6:14
  try to talk to history because I don't know.
• 6:16
  But like there was like some OG pizza head.
• 6:19
  I think his name was Bert or something like that.
• 6:22
  He he create, he created. It.
• 6:24
  Bert, but no, like Long story short he like rocked that
• 6:28
  restaurant in like this town called Morton Grove.
• 6:31
  I think eventually he just sold it off and then like he actually
• 6:33
  had his own spot down the street that was like like personal,
• 6:36
  like only like one person at time type pizza shit.
• 6:40
  OK so but the like, I guess he's like the creator.
• 6:43
  He's the the master behind yeah type of pizza.
• 6:46
  Yeah, it sounds like he like they split and like they went.
• 6:50
  He went from the. Old spot.
• 6:51
  I'm not sure if he split if he just sold that.
• 6:53
  Just. Did his own shit.
• 6:54
  I'm thinking like tome USA in Japan, right?
• 6:57
  Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, man, this is dope with
• 6:59
  like, a really old man. Yeah, not bad.
• 7:06
  But you got us some Donuts. I'm going to dig in, yeah.
• 7:08
  Yeah, for sure. Please.
• 7:10
  Well, how did? So that you, you, this is not
• 7:12
  your first car. Oh, no, not.
• 7:14
  OK, so you close. It was a crazy attachment that I
• 7:17
  I feel like everybody who has a crazy car has a crazy story
• 7:20
  behind it because I saw some old pictures on the wall.
• 7:23
  For those of you who are tuned into our Spotify version where
• 7:27
  there's no video yet, we're working on that.
• 7:29
  But there's like a bunch of memorabilia in here that looks
• 7:32
  like a time capsule. So, like, how long have you been
• 7:34
  doing this? You mentioned your age earlier.
• 7:37
  I don't know if you want to disclose that information
• 7:39
  because you don't look like that.
• 7:41
  Man, I turned. I turned 40.
• 7:43
  You know, I turned 40 last month.
• 7:45
  You look amazing. Thank you.
• 7:47
  You look like what? Thank you.
• 7:50
  Like, wow. But being I think Filipinos kind
• 7:52
  of have a little bit of a cheat code, right?
• 7:54
  Yeah, a little bit there. Yeah, for sure.
• 7:55
  My body like crap and like I feel like I'm not aging like my
• 7:58
  friends are right now. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I turned 40.
• 8:02
  I've I've enjoyed. Cars ever since I was young my
• 8:07
  my dad it's mostly because of him.
• 8:10
  He liked cars just like growing up he he had like a like a six
• 8:15
  pack challenger. He had a turbo Trans Am ohh he
• 8:18
  had a a turbo Fiat spider which was brown which is why I like
• 8:25
  brown. Yeah.
• 8:28
  Yeah. So right.
• 8:29
  Some of you guys might have known like one of my other S13
• 8:32
  was was dookie brown so and everyone loved that color.
• 8:35
  Yeah, everyone loved that color. I still get shit for it.
• 8:37
  Wait, that's crazy. Don't.
• 8:39
  Say that people like please do another iteration of it.
• 8:42
  And I did. It's just a different.
• 8:44
  Car. Yeah, you're fully Filipino,
• 8:46
  though your dad was Filipino Rockin these whips.
• 8:49
  Yeah, man, like. That's sick.
• 8:51
  Late 70s, eighties. Filipinos fucking perms, Bell
• 8:55
  bottoms. Are you first Gen. born here?
• 8:57
  I'm sorry. I'm gonna relate to the Filipino
• 8:59
  side because, you know, that's fine.
• 9:00
  I mean a donut. Yeah, like it's.
• 9:01
  Filipino anyway. Yeah, you are Filipino.
• 9:03
  The whole staff of factionist Filipino, actually hey, Zeus is
• 9:06
  not Philip. We got a new employee now.
• 9:07
  Hey, Zeus is Dominican first first non Filipino person I
• 9:10
  hired. Kind.
• 9:12
  Of crazy. He speaks.
• 9:15
  Probably yeah, like Filipino. But no it's that's just
• 9:19
  interesting because like I was the 1st.
• 9:23
  I'm first Gen. born here and my parents, my dad was the one,
• 9:27
  same steel, same deal. He was in the cars but wasn't
• 9:30
  into the American car thing more or less like Beatles and like
• 9:35
  z's when z's were were thing. So, like your your dad had
• 9:39
  American car stuff? Yeah, so he had American cars.
• 9:42
  Like I said, he had those 3. And then I remember in my
• 9:46
  elementary years, my dad's dream car was like AC4 Grand sport
• 9:50
  Admiral. Blue white stripe.
• 9:52
  Yeah, the two red stripes on the Fender.
• 9:54
  That was his dream car. Black ZR one style wheel on that
• 9:57
  shit if you guys know what that is.
• 9:58
  And I just know that car from Gran Turismo.
• 10:01
  It's luckily Carl knows some cars.
• 10:02
  But it's an iconic Corvette model, yeah, LT4 motor and all
• 10:06
  that. And I remember that.
• 10:09
  My my dad was kind of feeding like he was gonna try and
• 10:12
  achieve to get that car because there's for many years he he
• 10:15
  didn't have any like fun cars because we were growing up.
• 10:18
  Yeah we moved to the suburbs so he sold like his fun car I
• 10:21
  guess. But then it it didn't really
• 10:24
  happen and then we ended up with like a 94 maroon Accord ex
• 10:31
  automatic and then the rest is history.
• 10:35
  It went from that, then it went to a. 95 Special Edition 2 Door
• 10:43
  Green Integra and Like so. Now it explains a little bit of
• 10:48
  the influence of where you went, so.
• 10:50
  Like right in that range of like that 94 like VTech was that was
• 10:56
  it was real then already VTech was VTech it was the consumer
• 10:59
  could get it. Yeah.
• 11:00
  So it turned into that into like you know, a couple more Honda
• 11:04
  type cars, Sport compact car magazine came out and.
• 11:09
  You know, I don't know how far you guys want to go, but then
• 11:12
  from that to getting exposed to option magazines, that's our
• 11:16
  records at a super young age, cuz like my.
• 11:19
  Dad Tower Records. My uncle was like a hardcore hip
• 11:22
  hop head. And not that Tower Records was
• 11:24
  like hardcore hip hop, but like we would go surf the city, try
• 11:27
  to find music, but then we'd also end up in like Tower just
• 11:30
  to see more shit magazines. That's how I got my first like
• 11:33
  options. I was like, what are these?
• 11:34
  Like that's where they so it's. Like, oh, there's like the adult
• 11:37
  where they have a pot magazine, Playboy and then it's like car
• 11:41
  driver, rotor track and then like option option 2.
• 11:44
  What? That's where people were getting
• 11:45
  that. I I don't know.
• 11:46
  I was. I'm not from that generation or
• 11:49
  new were they? I don't.
• 11:50
  You had, you could get any. I was just assuming like, the
• 11:53
  way that we get them now is like, oh, you go to a, you go to
• 11:56
  a like a car show thing and they got a booth and there's a all
• 11:59
  this nostalgic. JDM so this is.
• 12:01
  When this was happening. This is.
• 12:04
  This is around the time where there was no such thing as.
• 12:07
  Import. Shows at all.
• 12:09
  No hot import nights. Actually, I attended the first
• 12:12
  import type car show here in Illinois.
• 12:15
  Really. Do you remember what it was
• 12:17
  called? I don't, but it was at a place
• 12:20
  called Yahan Market, which is known.
• 12:23
  As today's Mitsuba Market. Oh, OK, so that same lot.
• 12:26
  That's where we got invited by my uncle and his friends and his
• 12:30
  One of his buddies had like a a blue, a blue conquest.
• 12:35
  The Chrysler like the Sterion equivalent.
• 12:38
  The equivalent to the stereo. Yeah, you didn't know what the
• 12:41
  fuck we were talking about. No idea what that was.
• 12:42
  It's an. Fr It's a It is technically
• 12:45
  Japanese. Turbo as well.
• 12:47
  They came in a turbo you. Could get the Mitsubishi stereo
• 12:49
  and yeah, yeah. The Chrysler conquest, OK.
• 12:52
  Purple. But they're they're, they're
• 12:54
  hatches, Yeah. So you might like.
• 12:56
  One and the and they were, they had like a wide.
• 12:58
  They were wide. Yeah, dude, the factory wheels
• 13:01
  came in a 16 by 8 or 9 with a with a nice offset on it on S
• 13:07
  chassis. Yeah, that's how, you know, they
• 13:08
  were kind of wider. Yeah, yeah, Some of the old
• 13:10
  school guys that were running 1516 Stereon was one of the go
• 13:13
  To's. Yeah, yeah.
• 13:15
  So yeah. So like that stuff and the the
• 13:18
  the car interest just kept further going into Japanese like
• 13:21
  pretty much. Naturally.
• 13:23
  Damn, isn't that a slippery slope?
• 13:25
  It's really weird. Crazy, right?
• 13:26
  It's really weird, cuz I didn't grow up that way, you know?
• 13:30
  Yeah, you had a lot of American cars.
• 13:32
  A lot of American cars like my dad and then my dad had that one
• 13:36
  turbo Fiat. My mom had a her dream car was a
• 13:40
  was a FB dream car. She never had one.
• 13:42
  Wow. But at that time.
• 13:44
  FB RX7 that. Was her dream car.
• 13:47
  Your mom's cool? Yeah, she.
• 13:48
  Was cool. My mom is pretty cool, but I
• 13:50
  guess because I was around the time that I was being born, she
• 13:54
  ended up with a real drive, 6 to 6 Mazda.
• 13:57
  Oh, yeah, yeah, I know that car. I.
• 14:00
  Think they were Fr like the early 80s.
• 14:02
  Bigger I still. Remember it?
• 14:04
  Mazda. I remember that name because I
• 14:06
  was like why is it the car name that?
• 14:07
  66, yeah. Cool ass name.
• 14:10
  But damn. OK, so you let it.
• 14:12
  You let it kind of consume you a little bit, yeah.
• 14:15
  How old were you then when you were get into that?
• 14:19
  Middle school, I'd say maybe a. Little super impressionable.
• 14:23
  Yeah. So yeah, I'm.
• 14:25
  I'm probably one of those like old farts that's like all my
• 14:29
  interests today just spawned at that time of my life.
• 14:31
  And like, I can't let it go. Like if you look at some of the
• 14:35
  stuff that I've collected in here, it's all the same time
• 14:38
  frame. There's not a whole lot of new.
• 14:40
  It's mostly around then. Well, I think that that speech.
• 14:43
  It's just like the music, It's just I'm stuck on the music.
• 14:46
  Stuck on those certain cars. Do you see a problem with that
• 14:50
  though? Like you like what you like?
• 14:53
  Well, like it looks like you stuck to.
• 14:55
  It the problem is like I it's not that like I like what I
• 14:57
  like. I obsess what I obsess.
• 15:00
  That's that's what's the problem.
• 15:02
  I think it's a lot of people in this scene too, though.
• 15:06
  Again, it's just the that's why I can't knock on people that are
• 15:09
  into Formula Drift. Because, like, if I was like 14
• 15:13
  and I saw that shit, you'd probably be like, shit.
• 15:16
  How do I get into that? Yeah, so you'd be doing.
• 15:20
  Yeah, yeah, you'd be in different stuff.
• 15:21
  I will say, though, naturally I'd like to say that I
• 15:24
  gravitated more to underground. Like style shit, like the music,
• 15:31
  the hip hop. We just.
• 15:33
  Bullshitting about break dancing.
• 15:34
  I was about to say. There's that's I know a lot of
• 15:37
  guys come from like sports, competitive background, BMX
• 15:40
  skating like me. It was like fucking dancing,
• 15:43
  footwork, break dancing. Well, there's a style element
• 15:47
  there too. Correct.
• 15:48
  And similar to like guys that skate, like you could see one
• 15:52
  dude do a, I don't know the moves, but like you could see
• 15:54
  one dude do a kick flip and then you see another fucking dude's
• 15:56
  like it's the same fucking move. But why is it way?
• 15:59
  Yeah, that's the same. Shit, yeah, like.
• 16:03
  Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I would have been like all
• 16:05
  about it. Maybe I wouldn't have been like.
• 16:07
  Did you get in to be? Boying and stuff.
• 16:09
  Yeah, I was. I could maybe do a baby freeze
• 16:11
  right now. That's about it.
• 16:12
  I would like to see that. I'm wearing white pants today.
• 16:15
  Sitting right here, That's the only freeze up dude.
• 16:18
  But so you kind of isn't it wild that you've kind of been around
• 16:24
  for the entirety of the evolution of drifting.
• 16:27
  Would you would Do you feel like you've been around for?
• 16:30
  Well, I'm looking at so I'm gonna like spread that.
• 16:32
  I actually I've been around since the evolution of import
• 16:36
  tuning, if you. Really check at it.
• 16:38
  Because in 94, there weren't thirteens and fourteens and
• 16:43
  eight sixes cruising. No, it was dude, it was a ex, It
• 16:47
  was a EF, It was a DC 2A DA, A maximum.
• 16:52
  Yeah, you know, so this is prior to the Fr kick.
• 16:55
  You know. Dude, you're talking.
• 16:57
  You might be the first person where we're talking about a year
• 17:00
  where I wasn't born here. Holy shit, yeah.
• 17:05
  I think that's why I was embarrassed like Ohh, they know
• 17:07
  him as Revgasm. Like I coined that when I was
• 17:09
  like 14. Yeah.
• 17:10
  Wait. For real.
• 17:11
  That was like your plate and everything.
• 17:12
  It still is, yeah. And your Sylvia handle.
• 17:15
  That's where I remember it from. Yeah, and I even had it before.
• 17:18
  Like, even all my Hondas that's 2000.
• 17:20
  Like I rocked that Revgasm signature for forever, Yeah.
• 17:25
  Whoa. Yeah, that is even cooler to me
• 17:29
  now. Yeah, that's funny.
• 17:31
  That's like, it's like part of you now.
• 17:32
  You can't get away from it, even if you wanted to.
• 17:34
  I can't. Isn't that wild?
• 17:36
  Like you coined that when you were young and like you, you
• 17:38
  still like it. It's funny, you're like you're
• 17:40
  you are Rev Gas. What do I know about Engine
• 17:43
  Motorsports And fucking like, nothing.
• 17:44
  I thought it sounded. Cool 14 year old.
• 17:49
  Revgasm like. This guy must be fucking a lot
• 17:52
  of girls and having a lot of really high Rev and motor.
• 17:55
  You could actually bring the mic closer.
• 17:57
  To you? Not at all, man.
• 17:58
  Yeah, because that'd be perfect. Yeah.
• 17:59
  But man, no, that's wow. No, it's just put into
• 18:04
  perspective that, yeah, you were doing this stuff and I was not
• 18:07
  here yet. Who's the other person from the
• 18:10
  probably rival. Yeah, that was older.
• 18:14
  Older. He was probably sorry.
• 18:16
  Jason, Jason was probably. Jason is no Jason Kim from Rival
• 18:19
  Auto Works. Yeah, so I feel like.
• 18:21
  I wanna say he's probably around.
• 18:22
  My age ish. Probably right around there.
• 18:25
  Is that group kind of small where you kind of know, OK, I've
• 18:28
  seen him for a long time. I've seen them for a long time.
• 18:31
  I don't know if it's small, but you can tell that a lot of
• 18:34
  people from then kind of have moved on.
• 18:39
  I've seen some other podcasts with, like some of the Ogs from
• 18:41
  like. Yeah, but Benson's then the
• 18:46
  goodest cast. Like I was gonna say, you're
• 18:48
  running. As a lady, Benson's done it like
• 18:50
  a fantastic job to exposing some of those old guys, the old
• 18:54
  heads. But you can tell that when he
• 18:56
  talks with them, Some of them have moved on from drifting and
• 19:00
  some of them are still in motor sport.
• 19:01
  Some of them are in the guns, you know.
• 19:04
  Yeah, they still have their obsession, their own hobbies,
• 19:06
  but. Drifting is maybe not their
• 19:08
  priority. Like me, I'm just still stuck.
• 19:11
  I don't know how to. It's like I don't know how to.
• 19:13
  I don't know how to evolve as like a car person.
• 19:16
  But I don't really. If for me, see, I I look at that
• 19:18
  and I'm like, that's somebody who's showing their true passion
• 19:21
  right there. Yeah.
• 19:22
  It seems to me that your passion isn't really just drifting.
• 19:25
  It no it's not. It's the expression almost, just
• 19:28
  because like kind of. There's three fucking different
• 19:32
  cars here, yeah, for those of you who aren't tuned into the
• 19:34
  YouTube portion, but there's literally three different cars
• 19:37
  here. And to me, that shows somebody
• 19:40
  who doesn't just like the one thing.
• 19:42
  It's it's weird, man. It's like drifting tends to
• 19:47
  bring at least from this, especially from the Midwest.
• 19:49
  I mean, we just talked to the breaking guys.
• 19:51
  So like, yeah, this is gonna be similar.
• 19:53
  Love those guys. But like it's it's like drifting
• 19:57
  has, it's like it's like an art. It's not like motorsport in the
• 20:00
  same way. It's really not like it's it has
• 20:03
  stuff to do with it, but the art aspect of it with, you know you
• 20:08
  can't say everyone in drifting is like that, but the majority
• 20:11
  of them, especially if they've been doing this, the longer the
• 20:14
  longer guys they've been doing it, it's it's usually like style
• 20:18
  goes hand in hand. So it's it's almost like you
• 20:20
  have like an artist mindset, but you're just doing it with
• 20:24
  automotive stuff. Yeah, and I feel that's a lot of
• 20:26
  people like. Especially because of the the
• 20:28
  where we are right now like it's final bout the IT seems that
• 20:32
  final bout attracts people of the same interests as like all
• 20:35
  of us. I care a lot about.
• 20:39
  I care a lot about how stuff is executed like you were, bro.
• 20:43
  Josh was down talking is no you know it's I don't.
• 20:46
  I can't believe that people like this car the most Josh.
• 20:48
  Is too humble so but it's it's the way you execute it.
• 20:51
  It's the it's your viewpoint on it.
• 20:54
  Like that adds that little. You could probably take another
• 20:58
  car with the same stuff and it will not look the same.
• 21:01
  Yeah, you know what I mean? Like you have your own twist to
• 21:03
  it, and that's like the Revgasm stuff.
• 21:05
  Dude, I when I was like getting this shit, I thought it was
• 21:07
  like, I was like, only only Japan and the Midwest can nail
• 21:10
  shit like this. For some reason.
• 21:11
  No one else can do it. Literally.
• 21:13
  Like, that's what we thought. Like when we would come here
• 21:15
  like final bout one and two, I would like go back and tell my
• 21:19
  friends and like you guys don't understand, like we're trying to
• 21:23
  do something. But they're like, they've
• 21:25
  already done it. Those cars are executed
• 21:28
  perfectly, like everything. That's crazy.
• 21:30
  And it was weird cuz I was like, why is that?
• 21:33
  Like you got some kind of, like, weird thing going on over here.
• 21:36
  We we got blessed with the a couple Og's that managed to
• 21:45
  somehow managed to kind of stay like around one another for more
• 21:49
  than just a short while. Like, more like there.
• 21:54
  You weren't hanging out every day with each other, but but.
• 21:56
  We were like, like I could get to the proceed aspect of it, but
• 22:00
  like from the the heart of when the drifting community like was
• 22:04
  created in Chicago. I can still think of at least,
• 22:10
  you know, you know these five people that were in that meeting
• 22:14
  that are still involved in drifting in like some sort of
• 22:19
  capacity, but at the same time. We all love that style ever
• 22:25
  since and like most of us I'll share Simma because he's he's
• 22:31
  the other one that I've known the longest that has stayed the
• 22:34
  truest to what he loves. Staying true is not right.
• 22:39
  Staying interested in that style.
• 22:41
  Yeah and yeah man, like it just we just haven't changed.
• 22:46
  Like we can't change it. I get what you're saying.
• 22:50
  You're driving it like it's a problem and I'm like.
• 22:52
  Yeah, he is. You are describing it like it's
• 22:54
  a problem I. Can't change.
• 22:56
  And yeah, we just can't change because we're obsessed.
• 23:01
  And it's weird for me to be on a pod.
• 23:04
  It's weird for when people like, say that's really cool or like
• 23:08
  you've you've made it cool more than once.
• 23:12
  Like I just. I'm cool with the one time like
• 23:15
  hey man, good job making that car cool once.
• 23:17
  But when they say like repetitive, like fuck man.
• 23:20
  Like I don't want to be looked at it as like a fucking role
• 23:23
  model. No man, I don't want to be
• 23:25
  looked at as a they're from fucking your area not cars that
• 23:31
  fucking chopper company West Coast.
• 23:33
  No, no no, no, no. That the they made theme bikes.
• 23:39
  OK, they they they made. They made motorcycles, custom
• 23:43
  choppers. Yeah, I know you're talking
• 23:44
  about, yeah. But then they start.
• 23:46
  Why don't we know their name? I don't know.
• 23:48
  Either I think it's a new. Orange County Orange No.
• 23:51
  No, no, that's Orange County is not.
• 23:53
  Oh, it is. It's OCC.
• 23:54
  It is, dude. Yeah, no, it is.
• 23:56
  It's still. I think it's the same.
• 23:58
  So no, no disrespect to their abilities of to create, but then
• 24:02
  they got associated with some of these companies and it is what
• 24:05
  it is. Your business is growing.
• 24:06
  I get it. I don't have a business, but.
• 24:08
  Then they started doing like theme bikes there.
• 24:10
  It'd be like a Spiderman bike or a fucking a GEICO.
• 24:14
  But I don't know if that's true. But I'm just like clients.
• 24:16
  Yeah, it's Orange County shoppers.
• 24:18
  I've been to that garage. So it's like you're saying.
• 24:20
  I've like recreated the 180 style.
• 24:27
  More than a few times. And I just like, like, man, do
• 24:29
  like maybe I should just stop this shit.
• 24:32
  It's the same dumb shit over and over with a little bit of A
• 24:34
  twist. Please don't.
• 24:35
  And it's. Just like bro.
• 24:36
  Like stop please. Well, I mean you kind of, you
• 24:39
  kind of did for a moment. You got a S14.
• 24:42
  Yeah, that's a very short. Moment, but fuck.
• 24:44
  But here's the thing. When?
• 24:45
  So like. That car I.
• 24:48
  Get what you're saying where you're like, you know, I'm
• 24:49
  building the same shit over and over, like maybe I should stop,
• 24:52
  but it's like you went to an S14.
• 24:55
  You fucking nailed that shit too.
• 24:57
  You're not going to say anything about it, but you he nailed it.
• 24:59
  You seem dissatisfied with the S14.
• 25:02
  Dude, when I found out he had S14, I was like, what the fuck
• 25:06
  is he doing? Like what are we doing here?
• 25:08
  And then I come here and I see it and I'm like, all right,
• 25:11
  that's like the best S14 I've ever seen.
• 25:12
  So I guess. It is what it is.
• 25:15
  June Otto Hood. Yeah.
• 25:16
  Vertex Lang LM GT4 to knock the headlights.
• 25:22
  Oh, so you you miss it? Do you miss it?
• 25:24
  Sounds like you miss it a little bit.
• 25:25
  I mean. Because before I thought you.
• 25:27
  Did not like it when I look back and it's just because the
• 25:29
  timing. I was like so intense because I
• 25:32
  just lost. I had my RHD car for many years.
• 25:36
  I picked up a 14 with the with plans of making it like a grip
• 25:40
  track day car. Total the 13 right before going
• 25:44
  to Canon or Canon, whatever you guys call it, yeah.
• 25:47
  Yeah, I was like, so I was so, like, hurt.
• 25:50
  With the situation I was like fuck it, I'm fucking done with
• 25:54
  180. Like my soul hurts.
• 25:56
  I'm selling. I sold a lot of my 180 stuff,
• 25:59
  but not all of it. I just kept some in the
• 26:00
  background just in case. But then I put all I put all my
• 26:03
  effort into this 14. The momentum was there.
• 26:07
  My buddy Mikey that that has been doing my body work and
• 26:09
  paint for many years, like he fucking went to town on that car
• 26:14
  and made it. I would say perfect.
• 26:18
  The body work was perfect. Yeah.
• 26:21
  It may be one of the drift cars that I've seen that shouldn't
• 26:25
  have been drifted. It was that pretty.
• 26:27
  Too, Yeah, and the way you. You was gorgeous.
• 26:29
  The way you described it was always like, well, this is like
• 26:31
  my track car, like I I was trying to build a grip car.
• 26:34
  Right, like and that too. Like.
• 26:35
  Of course, drifting somehow always takes over everything in
• 26:39
  my life. Which is a.
• 26:40
  Common theme. For Drifters right and and you
• 26:43
  know and like I love I love my team so much that it's like.
• 26:47
  I'm not not gonna participate one or two years because I don't
• 26:51
  want to drift an Fr. It's like an Fr, bro.
• 26:53
  Like shut the fuck up and bring it.
• 26:54
  Yeah, to drive with us. Yeah, we'll do our best not to
• 26:57
  hate you, but like you need to attend.
• 26:59
  So yeah, that happened and it it was short lived, but like my
• 27:03
  soul was like 180 or you know, 8.
• 27:07
  Like I'm like Corolla is still my dream car, but like I kept a
• 27:11
  couple key components like craft squares, Maxis one seat, IKEA
• 27:16
  formula arrow. Yeah, LM, GT4 that's some kind
• 27:19
  of that. Those are not.
• 27:20
  Those are not just little little.
• 27:23
  Those were like the those were like the pieces that meant a lot
• 27:26
  to you. Yeah.
• 27:27
  So like, even if I never got a 180 again, like I could be like
• 27:31
  you're. Going to be buried with.
• 27:32
  That shit, Yeah. Either I'm buried with it or
• 27:35
  this is my kids. Yeah, fucking college tuition or
• 27:37
  some shit. Yeah, I did.
• 27:39
  I want to know how you kind of got into drifting as well.
• 27:42
  Oh. Man drifting you went from.
• 27:44
  You mentioned your family had a in Integra, and I saw from the
• 27:48
  photos that you had one as well, which was.
• 27:49
  Now, naturally, I know why. Tower record magazines.
• 27:52
  Tower record magazines, yeah. Tower record magazines option
• 27:56
  exposure to the some of the Japanese culture.
• 27:59
  The drifting parts weren't very super specific yet cuz it was
• 28:04
  that early, but they were exposing some of the magazines
• 28:10
  what Year did? Lion King.
• 28:12
  Too bad you don't got to fucking do to.
• 28:14
  Exactly. And that's what I'm talking
• 28:16
  about with Malcolm. Oh, that's what he does, right?
• 28:18
  It's crazy. What year did what year did Lion
• 28:21
  King come out? I want to say 90.
• 28:23
  No, it's earlier. It's 9695.
• 28:26
  I'm. Going to say 94.
• 28:28
  Maybe it could be 9596 and I don't want to delay that 90.
• 28:32
  494OK96OK, you all right now? He's going to be fucking
• 28:38
  counting the rest of the day. This is.
• 28:41
  Stupid story 1994. I'm a kid.
• 28:45
  We go watch Lion King the movie in the movie.
• 28:49
  Theater. Amazing movie.
• 28:50
  Okay, Lion King. All right, this is the first
• 28:52
  one. Like.
• 28:53
  You know, I remember watching it when I was a kid.
• 28:55
  I go with my best friend's family.
• 28:59
  His uncle has a black S14 in 90 Fucking 4.
• 29:05
  Is it a cokie or a zanky? So that was new.
• 29:07
  For some reason I wanna say it's Cokie, but they don't have Cokie
• 29:11
  in 94. Yeah, yeah.
• 29:12
  Yeah. So that's just how you.
• 29:14
  View it my I viewed it as Cokie back then but it's it's got to
• 29:16
  be zanky because it's 94. Yeah.
• 29:20
  And it was shit weather and I'm riding in the back seat of this
• 29:24
  S14 as a kid and. He's fucking farting around in
• 29:29
  the car on the street. Just.
• 29:30
  Sliding around. And that was like one of my
• 29:32
  first exposures to feeling a car slide as like you know?
• 29:36
  Was he doing it on purpose? Yeah, he was doing it on
• 29:38
  purpose, messing around. Not, obviously.
• 29:40
  Nothing was like drifting, but like, it's just a power over or
• 29:42
  something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 29:44
  And that was like an exposure to me.
• 29:45
  Like, what the fuck is going on here?
• 29:47
  And then at a young age, too. Yeah, you're probably years away
• 29:50
  from getting your life. Like I was the type of kid that
• 29:53
  would have like because we have winners out here.
• 29:55
  Like real winners. You guys have winners, Real
• 29:57
  winners. We've had them, I've seen them.
• 29:59
  Photos like fake. I like, I wasn't some like avid,
• 30:02
  like rally watcher. Like I we didn't even have cable
• 30:05
  until I was like way into high school.
• 30:09
  So, like, my exposure to, like media was like, pretty limited.
• 30:13
  Yeah, but like, I was like trying to slide a mountain bike.
• 30:17
  I was trying to slide my BMX bike.
• 30:19
  I would have a we would build these downhill racers like like
• 30:22
  a soapbox car. But like, we made our own kind
• 30:24
  of style. We'd put rollerblade reels on
• 30:27
  them with like Abec 5 bearings and we'd go head first in these
• 30:30
  fuckers and we'd be fucking sliding them down the streets
• 30:33
  and shit. That's pretty sick, yeah.
• 30:34
  Yeah, the the BMX bike thing kind of triggered a core memory
• 30:41
  of mine. And I'm like, damn, was that
• 30:42
  kind of like my first feeling of something kicking out?
• 30:45
  So like we would like on the mountain bikes, particularly
• 30:48
  when it was like wet or like snowy, icy, you could.
• 30:53
  You'd click a couple gears up so you can just like actual wheel
• 30:56
  speed and we just hold that front brake, yeah.
• 30:59
  And we you just lean forward into the bar a little bit, yeah
• 31:02
  and pedal. And you could actually power
• 31:04
  your rear wheel like, as if you were powering it.
• 31:07
  Yeah, not just pedaling it, but powering it.
• 31:09
  So like, me and my friends would do that in our, in our
• 31:11
  neighborhood, in our court. We'd put like, we'd put the
• 31:14
  baseball cards in the spokes. Like, yeah, yeah, make the noise
• 31:17
  like it's a fucking engine. Yep.
• 31:19
  Like with the soda? Whole soda can.
• 31:20
  Yeah, some wholesome stuff. Like my.
• 31:23
  I remember as a child like even before this Lion King story,
• 31:27
  like my parents be so pissed cuz like I would get paper towels
• 31:32
  and I'd wet paper towels like wet the floor and then get the
• 31:35
  RC car. And slide it around, dude.
• 31:37
  Yo, your parents probably were so mad at you for that.
• 31:41
  Wetting the floor on purpose in a Filipino house.
• 31:44
  And I'm not talking like some like.
• 31:46
  Like real RC, I'm talking like fucking, you know, RadioShack.
• 31:51
  Yeah, one of these. Little before X mods.
• 31:53
  Yeah, like it's only one turning radius.
• 31:55
  That's it. You know, it will speed.
• 31:57
  Just full lock, full lock. So, like, even as a child, I
• 32:00
  just had this thing like slide in the car around that's so
• 32:03
  wild. Because I'm like, damn like I.
• 32:07
  My dad. It must be genetic because my
• 32:09
  dad. Later, later in the years, like,
• 32:13
  you know, as I was becoming an adult, like you, like, yeah,
• 32:15
  like I used to take your mom's car, I used to take the Trans
• 32:18
  Am. We go slide in the parking lot
• 32:20
  on the snowy days and stuff and your mom would be so mad at me.
• 32:23
  I was like, man, what the fuck there?
• 32:26
  That's crazy. But like, he's weird.
• 32:28
  Maybe he maybe, Yeah. I feel like the later, the older
• 32:31
  you get there. Like, you know what?
• 32:33
  Yeah, we actually fucked around a lot more than you think.
• 32:35
  Yeah. No, my my dad is a.
• 32:38
  We had a really rough relationship, like, but it could
• 32:42
  be cultural. I don't know how your family's,
• 32:43
  but like a lot of Filipinos, particularly the men, their
• 32:46
  motherfuckers. That's the vibe they.
• 32:48
  Don't from all my. They don't show.
• 32:49
  They don't show love. They don't, they don't tell you
• 32:51
  when you do well. They only tell you when you suck
• 32:53
  or when you're fat. Like that was the bringing as a
• 32:56
  child, you know? What I'm saying?
• 32:58
  Carl's about to cry. And then, like, you know, when
• 33:00
  you get older, stuff starts to open up.
• 33:02
  Then like, we've always liked cars together, but we weren't
• 33:04
  really like. Height.
• 33:06
  Yeah, about it. Yeah.
• 33:07
  That was like your common ground.
• 33:08
  But that was our common ground. Me, me and my dad.
• 33:11
  But yeah, man, it's funny when you hear these fucking stories
• 33:14
  like, oh, OK, no, yeah, no, that's.
• 33:17
  Kind of. A lot of my friends would like,
• 33:19
  oh man, Buta. I'm like, yeah, they call your
• 33:21
  dad that too. They call him Buta.
• 33:23
  Sometimes they call my dad that too because he looks like the
• 33:26
  cartoon. Like he has the look.
• 33:28
  And he also used to smoke cigarettes a lot.
• 33:30
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 33:30
  So. And he would like get out of his
• 33:32
  car in his denim Jack and. Your dad is Yeah, yeah.
• 33:35
  Like so. Like I said, my pops was like
• 33:37
  fucking bell bottoms, fucking permed hair for the yeah, my dad
• 33:40
  had an ash. Maybe they were boys.
• 33:42
  They were probably homies, dude. Yeah, Black Trans.
• 33:45
  Turbo. Trans Am.
• 33:45
  Gold. Fucking Hawk on the hood, dude.
• 33:47
  Turbo, your dad was probably. Is that just the name of it, or?
• 33:50
  Is it the Turbo Trans Am? So you know the the the, the
• 33:53
  model body style of like smoking the Bandit?
• 33:55
  Yes. So 8283 instead of having a 6.6
• 34:00
  they put in a turbo a turbo motor.
• 34:02
  With six owner. I couldn't tell.
• 34:05
  I don't remember off the top of my head.
• 34:06
  I know it sucked. I know it sucked.
• 34:08
  Yeah, I'm sure it did. But dude, like, these are the
• 34:10
  little trinkets that like, it must have played a role.
• 34:13
  Yeah, in to me noticing because like on the hood decal.
• 34:19
  Yeah, I'd be Dorking out about decals.
• 34:21
  Like, yeah, on the on the hood it had a like a.
• 34:24
  What do you call like a raised hood?
• 34:27
  Not a shaker. Hood but scoop, Yeah or no?
• 34:30
  There's a specific word for the for the cow cow.
• 34:33
  But like, on that model Trans Am, it had fucking three lights
• 34:38
  on it, bro. What?
• 34:39
  Guess what the three lights said?
• 34:41
  Lights. 3 little little fucking indicator lights on the cow.
• 34:45
  And they said something. Yeah, what could?
• 34:48
  It was either three or two. Said smoke them.
• 34:51
  Yeah, I went. Smoke them.
• 34:54
  I You guys gotta Google this shit because I could be wrong
• 34:56
  because so long ago. I'm pretty sure it had three
• 34:59
  indicator lights on the call hood and I think it said it was
• 35:02
  either like low, medium or high and I think it was pertaining to
• 35:04
  the boost level gangs of shit. Yeah, yeah, that is weird.
• 35:11
  Now you're talking about all this shit.
• 35:12
  It's like, it's because, like, we're we're into all this shit
• 35:15
  too. But like, I can't relate any of
• 35:16
  it to my childhood. No, I just relate it to going on
• 35:20
  forums, option magazines. This is the people.
• 35:24
  Like seeing people like you doing this shit.
• 35:27
  So it's like it's like you got it almost from a natural way and
• 35:30
  then it it kind of like branched out to.
• 35:33
  I don't know, man. It's like everybody gets their
• 35:38
  interest. Yeah, somewhere, yeah.
• 35:40
  But like, it's like, I I tend to use the word obsessive a lot
• 35:45
  because, like, I still obsess. Like I'm constantly flipping
• 35:48
  through shit watching stuff. Like, it's like fucking
• 35:51
  spiritual, dude. It's scary.
• 35:53
  Yeah, like, I feel bad. Like I feel bad for my wife.
• 35:55
  That's like. Witnessed this my whole she's
• 35:58
  like this. Dude's possessed 100%.
• 36:01
  No, but I mean you kind of, you kind of are, but it's like the
• 36:04
  outcome is so sick. I don't know.
• 36:07
  I just, I know what you would try to talk to me.
• 36:09
  I'm like, man, yeah, I'm like way out in left field.
• 36:11
  These guys got to think I'm crazy.
• 36:13
  Well, no, no, you're the again. You're like one of the first
• 36:16
  people, right? Where honestly like that.
• 36:19
  I heard that like another way that their Asian parent was
• 36:25
  their specifically their father. I'm going through some shit
• 36:27
  right now in mine and like and now it has caused me to kind of
• 36:31
  reflect and I'm like has this, has this dude ever, like said
• 36:35
  like love you. Yeah or like fucking.
• 36:39
  This pod's going weird. Supported my supported my shit.
• 36:42
  You know, like. No, but people want to hear
• 36:43
  this. Shit, it's Yeah, No.
• 36:44
  So self reflection's huge right now.
• 36:46
  So like my my boy, his name is Breck.
• 36:50
  He'll be turning 2 that in a couple weeks.
• 36:54
  And it's not that like I spite anything from my child cuz I
• 36:57
  did. I had a good childhood.
• 36:59
  Yeah, that's another thing, I. Had a wonderful family,
• 37:01
  supportive family and family that not just my parents, like
• 37:06
  the entirety of the family, went out of their way to make sure we
• 37:09
  grew up OK. Yeah, you know, even though I
• 37:12
  was a fuck up for a long time, they never, they never gave up
• 37:15
  on me, right? But.
• 37:19
  So anyways, I don't even know where I'm going at with that.
• 37:21
  But yeah, the fucking family, I'm just trying to, let's just
• 37:26
  say, like, break that mold a little bit.
• 37:29
  Yeah. So, like, like, I'm a I'm a
• 37:32
  total bitch dude when it comes to my boy.
• 37:34
  Like, I can't stop looking at him.
• 37:37
  I can't stop wanting to hug him. Yeah, it's like, I don't, I
• 37:41
  don't want to compare him to my car, but, like, I'm so obsessed
• 37:45
  for my kid. Like, I was like, oh man, like,
• 37:47
  what? The fuck.
• 37:49
  Dude, this kid's so cool. Like, I want to break that shit.
• 37:52
  Like, I tell them. Like, I love them all the time.
• 37:54
  Well, you learn. I feel like you learn because,
• 37:57
  yeah, no, recently too. And it changes the way that I
• 38:00
  carry myself because let's say, and now not.
• 38:05
  Wow, Imagine bringing it back to drifting.
• 38:08
  Let's say now when my friends are going through something or
• 38:11
  they need something from me or they need help from me, I want
• 38:16
  to be there like or I don't have my own kid right now, knock on
• 38:20
  wood, but like God for you know, God bless the day that that
• 38:26
  happens. I feel like I know now more of
• 38:30
  who I want to be as a person to that child.
• 38:34
  Yeah. My, my pops was there.
• 38:36
  Like, yes, he made sure. Like shit was there and you and
• 38:40
  stuff was getting done and you were raised up.
• 38:42
  Yeah, but like, you know, like, I think it's just the emotional
• 38:45
  shit. Yeah, you know, But some kids
• 38:47
  react to a different, right. Yeah.
• 38:48
  You know, maybe he didn't think I needed that shit.
• 38:50
  Yeah, so I feel bad cuz like my kid is just getting fucking
• 38:53
  smothered. Well, I always, I always compare
• 38:57
  it to a generational thing. I think it is different for
• 39:01
  Filipinos from what I've heard. I mean, not just Filipinos.
• 39:03
  It's. It's actually all my I guarantee
• 39:05
  you. I guarantee Miyagi went through
• 39:07
  the same thing, dude. Yeah, it's all my Asian friends
• 39:09
  say the same thing about their fathers.
• 39:11
  The math room, bro. I always thought it was
• 39:13
  generational, like I was like, how?
• 39:16
  You know, did your did their parents get here?
• 39:19
  Who got here? Because I feel like America
• 39:21
  changes the family dynamic. Yeah, I agree.
• 39:26
  I so but then but then. Statistically right that the
• 39:28
  fathers these days are more involved.
• 39:30
  I don't know if it's true, so forgive me if I'm incorrect.
• 39:32
  It sounds right. And no disrespect to any of the
• 39:35
  the mommies out there, because the mommies are, I'll put it
• 39:38
  around the tail. The mommies are the fucking
• 39:39
  gangs. They wear the pants, bro.
• 39:41
  They are the 1, yes. All my.
• 39:44
  Hard work, grind ethic comes from my mother.
• 39:47
  No disrespect to my dad. Yeah, all my hard work, my
• 39:49
  backbone, the fucking hours, the grind.
• 39:52
  I get all that from my mom. Yeah.
• 39:55
  I get it from my aunts. I got it from the cousins, the
• 39:58
  girls that were older than me. I got all that shit from them.
• 40:01
  Yeah. So hopefully we can start moving
• 40:04
  that. To the boys.
• 40:05
  Now I also think that's a Filipino thing too.
• 40:07
  Yeah, because I'm telling you well.
• 40:08
  Like all the all the Filipino women I know too are.
• 40:11
  Straight gangsters? Yeah, Hood.
• 40:13
  Like they fucking work. They're fucking.
• 40:14
  Like Princess. They're wild.
• 40:16
  Princess will just come to the booth and just fucking handle
• 40:18
  everything. Get out of my way.
• 40:19
  Get out of my way. Yeah, can you just go over
• 40:21
  there? Perfect.
• 40:22
  Okay. Great.
• 40:23
  No. But yeah, like, I think it's, I
• 40:26
  think it's the grief that I got and like the doubt from.
• 40:30
  Some of the family that I had that made me push the way that I
• 40:33
  push now and like it almost kind of solidified the fact that I
• 40:38
  like what I like, Like cars. That was the biggest one
• 40:42
  Filipino family, for some reason, they don't like the fact
• 40:45
  that you're into cars. At least my Filipino family,
• 40:47
  they're like, they think that that's, oh, you're a mechanic.
• 40:50
  Like you're not a nurse. Yeah, they're tight, Josh.
• 40:52
  Not to not to shit on your profession.
• 40:54
  No, no. But, like, believe me, you're
• 40:56
  not a nurse. You're not.
• 40:57
  Why wouldn't you want to go to nursing school?
• 40:59
  Why wouldn't you want to do this?
• 41:00
  And I'm like, I have, I want to do something else.
• 41:03
  Like I want to go do something else.
• 41:04
  Like I really want to start like a fire somewhere else.
• 41:08
  Like with Frankie on the way here.
• 41:10
  Like a problem I'm having is I'm letting the car thing consume me
• 41:14
  a little bit. And I'm.
• 41:15
  I do obsess over it, but I try to pull back from it and.
• 41:20
  Now I'm just letting it go. And now my family's like, you
• 41:24
  know, why aren't you coming around more often?
• 41:28
  And I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm just doing other shit.
• 41:30
  Cause like I got to go to I gotta go to this track.
• 41:32
  Like, I want to drive, I want to hang out, I want to go do my
• 41:34
  stuff. Like, this is stuff that I I
• 41:36
  prevented myself from doing for years.
• 41:38
  Yeah, we just. It's a weird culture, dude.
• 41:41
  You know, our family, it's it's so common.
• 41:44
  You know, I'll be honest because like I have a lot of different
• 41:47
  friends. It's minorities in general that
• 41:49
  I've, I I identify with with that because when you come from
• 41:53
  a place that's not here, you come here because you think all
• 41:56
  the opportunity is here. Yeah.
• 41:58
  Your sole purpose is security and you want your child to
• 42:02
  figure out how to have security because your parents aren't
• 42:04
  going to be here the rest of your life.
• 42:05
  Your whole life, right. Yeah.
• 42:06
  So like, I get that. But then, now that I've been
• 42:09
  born here, like we just take it to the next level and understand
• 42:12
  that, like, the United States is supposed to be the place of
• 42:15
  opportunity, which means it's supposed to allow your children
• 42:18
  to fucking dream, You know, dream and fucking dream.
• 42:24
  And if you want those dreams to come true, this is the place to
• 42:27
  maybe make that dream happen. Like you have to do something
• 42:30
  about it. You have to do something about
• 42:31
  it. I don't want to see my family
• 42:34
  was against my dreams. But security is still the number
• 42:38
  one. And I'm not knocking nurses.
• 42:42
  I'm not one that had some special fucking talent we talked
• 42:46
  about earlier. I'm not like some, you know,
• 42:49
  some smart. I'm not smart at all.
• 42:51
  But you worked for your intelligence.
• 42:53
  I feel like intelligence comes with some experience.
• 42:57
  OK, You can ask me some stuff about what You maybe heard me on
• 43:00
  the phone earlier with one of my clients, but if you ask me some
• 43:03
  other shit on some other Ave. profession, I'm like, fuck you
• 43:06
  talking about. Yeah, I know what I know.
• 43:09
  Yeah, I just don't know a whole lot about other stuff.
• 43:12
  Yeah, But yeah. So anyways, my intelligence just
• 43:15
  comes with experience. It's just not because I have a I
• 43:17
  have a big brain. My brain is shit.
• 43:20
  I don't know, man. Yeah, I was going to say that
• 43:22
  that would. Like, no, I get what you're
• 43:24
  saying. Like, you know what?
• 43:24
  You know, Yeah. So I mean, like, I'm, I'm
• 43:27
  envious of people that like, like, you guys, like just doing
• 43:30
  what you want to do and love. That's incredible.
• 43:33
  Like that's that's still a dream to me.
• 43:35
  Like doing something like, well, I like caring.
• 43:39
  Don't get me wrong. I want to care and make sure
• 43:41
  people are okay. Like, that's my profession.
• 43:43
  Yeah, but, like, I didn't know how to sustain a family on cars.
• 43:49
  Do like. Yeah, do away.
• 43:51
  Yeah. You know, like it's impossible.
• 43:53
  It's impossible. Like, to me, I was like, how?
• 43:54
  How do you do that? Or like a counselor in high
• 43:57
  school. They knew I love cars.
• 43:59
  Why didn't the counselor put me in any mechanic classes?
• 44:02
  Why didn't the counselor, a counselor I thought was supposed
• 44:04
  to counsel you? Yeah, and show you an Ave. of
• 44:06
  like, hey, is that your interest?
• 44:07
  Why don't you try this out? No, man.
• 44:09
  It was just like, you're just dumb, man.
• 44:11
  Would you have, would you change it if you could go back, let's
• 44:14
  say, the counselor said. Really.
• 44:17
  I would. And I'm you know, I'm really.
• 44:20
  I'm very blessed don't get me wrong.
• 44:22
  Yeah but again like the we're here in the US like you should
• 44:25
  be able to dream and try. Fucking Filipinos, man.
• 44:31
  They need to make. I'm about to get crazy.
• 44:34
  Sorry guys, you have to be allowed to fail, man.
• 44:38
  Yeah, but you're not allowed, but you're not growing up in our
• 44:42
  home. And that's what made me feel
• 44:43
  like I wasn't so really up to par with everybody else.
• 44:48
  So for me, I wasn't allowed to fail.
• 44:52
  But since I wasn't allowed to fail, I didn't fucking try.
• 44:55
  Yeah, So the number one failure was not even fucking doing.
• 44:59
  Yeah, So that's that's my failure.
• 45:02
  When I looked to the past, maybe I didn't.
• 45:06
  It's all in me. I I do wish that somebody would
• 45:09
  have identified with me as a. It's on you, but it's not on
• 45:11
  you, you know, I wish Someone Like You, man.
• 45:13
  It's OK. Just go for it, bro.
• 45:15
  It's. Fine, that's the thing.
• 45:16
  But if you didn't have that, then, then you're not.
• 45:18
  Then you're not going to do it. Like I'm relating it back to
• 45:20
  myself and I'm like, I did have that.
• 45:24
  I mean, my dad was also very much like you need to do this.
• 45:27
  You need to go to college, you need to get a real job, you need
• 45:29
  to do that. And like as that's happening.
• 45:32
  I'm starting to mess with cars, sell parts, this and that, and
• 45:35
  he sees it and he's just, he's basically treating it like come
• 45:38
  on. Exactly like it's never gonna go
• 45:41
  anywhere. And it was very obvious that he
• 45:43
  thought that and this is side shit.
• 45:46
  Yeah, and I just for some reason was able to completely ignore
• 45:51
  it. You're lucky.
• 45:52
  Exactly. I know.
• 45:54
  I'm lucky. You're lucky because you could
• 45:55
  do that, yeah. Yeah.
• 45:57
  And in a Filipino house, it probably would have been
• 45:59
  different. You know what I mean?
• 46:00
  Like my mom fucking out the house, bro.
• 46:03
  My mom was my, like, saving grace.
• 46:06
  Because if it was just my dad, it would have been different.
• 46:09
  My mom had my back every single time, no matter what.
• 46:12
  But my dad was always like, the fuck are you doing?
• 46:15
  You got to you know what I mean? And I was lucky because I was
• 46:18
  able to. I did go to college.
• 46:20
  I didn't. Do all four years, But you know,
• 46:22
  I went to make him happy. I did what I had to do.
• 46:24
  I did that. I did it in the beginning, yeah.
• 46:27
  I went just to go, cuz just to go they told me to do.
• 46:29
  Yeah, and then halfway. Through what happened.
• 46:31
  It's a huge waste of fucking money, yeah.
• 46:33
  Luckily I went to Community College, but me too.
• 46:35
  Halfway through I I was like, all right business management,
• 46:38
  I'm going to switch to that sweet cuz I was like maybe that
• 46:41
  will actually help me. Like I just started like seeing
• 46:42
  the future. It was weird cuz like it was
• 46:44
  still kind of unrealistic in my mind.
• 46:47
  But also not it was more like this is going to happen.
• 46:50
  And it I there's no other option.
• 46:52
  Yeah that's what it was. For some weird reason there was
• 46:55
  some crazy dynamic in our home. And again I know it's cultural
• 46:58
  is like these parents or some some parents are like you can't
• 47:03
  fail. You can't fuck up.
• 47:05
  You need to find security. You need to go to college.
• 47:07
  You need to have a good job. You need to do all the shit.
• 47:10
  But then a lot of the Filipinos, and this is, I mean this with
• 47:14
  all respect. Give this cushion to some of
• 47:16
  their children, like, But you can stay here while you're
• 47:19
  trying to figure this out. Fuck.
• 47:20
  Dude, wow. That's.
• 47:21
  Like 2 opposite. Fuck dude, that's a mind fuck.
• 47:25
  It is, yeah. Because they will still be
• 47:27
  there. That's and that's shows the
• 47:28
  nurturing side of it. Like we were talking about this
• 47:30
  and I I don't want our listeners to think that every Filipino
• 47:34
  child is fucking abused. Like it's not like that.
• 47:37
  It's not like that. It's just a different way that
• 47:39
  the culture was and like. Y'all want some Donuts?
• 47:41
  Because it's like, don't it's, it's.
• 47:46
  I don't think passive aggressive is the right way to say it.
• 47:48
  I do, but it's a. I think that is it.
• 47:52
  It's like multi personality disorder.
• 47:54
  I think it's just weird because it's just weird.
• 47:56
  We're different generations, but yet we are grown up the same.
• 48:01
  And I also don't get to talk on this podcast.
• 48:04
  And I know that there's. I know that there's a chunk
• 48:07
  where, dude, we play in the Philippines.
• 48:08
  Did you know that this podcast is in the Philippines?
• 48:11
  That's awesome. That's awesome.
• 48:12
  That's why, like, this conversation right now is super
• 48:14
  important. Yeah, we we all think like, we
• 48:17
  might be thinking like, oh, this is not great cars.
• 48:18
  Well, because. But it's it helps even even us
• 48:22
  talking about it now, it helps me.
• 48:24
  And yes, self reflection is super huge right now.
• 48:27
  I feel like a lot of the Filipinos that are growing up
• 48:29
  right now are not just Filipinos.
• 48:30
  I can't can't like generalize. Yeah, all cultures but.
• 48:34
  For myself and and maybe yourself as well.
• 48:37
  Like the next Gen. is like more aware of like OK, maybe that
• 48:42
  wasn't how that should have happened and I'm gonna change it
• 48:46
  now because like, yeah, man, fuck.
• 48:50
  Like I I got, I went to school. I did my four years.
• 48:54
  I did two years at, two years of community, three years at
• 48:56
  university, graduated, and when I tell you, I can't remember
• 49:00
  really anything that I learned in college except for.
• 49:04
  How to write, which is extremely important.
• 49:08
  Aside from that everything was just happening after class.
• 49:11
  Like it would be like when I go home and then I go work on the
• 49:14
  car and I go fuck around with the car.
• 49:16
  I was blessed enough where my dad was supportive of the car
• 49:20
  thing at that point, cuz he saw me kind of going down that path
• 49:23
  like he would just leave me be. You did.
• 49:26
  You did both have dads that were into cars.
• 49:29
  Yeah, so my dad likes or loves cars to love cars.
• 49:34
  He's not. He doesn't have your sickness.
• 49:37
  He doesn't have my sickness. But he loves cars.
• 49:39
  I know he thinks about them a lot.
• 49:40
  He likes to look at them. He likes to keep them intact.
• 49:44
  He likes to enjoy driving them, but he doesn't race them on the
• 49:47
  racetrack. Yeah, he's just a car guy he
• 49:49
  likes. Yeah, cars, that's normal.
• 49:50
  That's what you're doing, Yeah. Me.
• 49:51
  I'm just like, fuck. You wanna use this shit?
• 49:54
  Everything I get behind, I wanna use it, even if it's like my
• 49:59
  truck, I'm like how do I use this?
• 50:01
  Yeah, I start modifying the truck and shit like how do I how
• 50:04
  do I use this in a like a funner way?
• 50:06
  Yep, it starts snowing outside. Yeah, like.
• 50:09
  So how you got into drifting? Did you get the 241st and then
• 50:12
  go sliding in it? No.
• 50:14
  Or. Did you slide all right?
• 50:15
  Well, you were drifting bikes. I was full blown high speed long
• 50:20
  sliding long St. entry in front wheel drive cars ever since
• 50:25
  that. Is what the yo?
• 50:26
  Yeah, I forgot about that shit dude.
• 50:28
  Like I know people clown like it's not drifting.
• 50:31
  Like yes, I understand If you can't power the rear wheels,
• 50:34
  there's a certain expression and movement in the drift that you
• 50:38
  cannot emulate in a front wheel drive car.
• 50:42
  I'll fucking tell you one thing right now.
• 50:44
  If you wanted to see a car do the fastest, highest speed, high
• 50:49
  angle entry up until the point you hit to the turn to the apex,
• 50:53
  I'll put money. I'll put money on it off.
• 50:56
  I could do that shit in the front wheel drive.
• 50:58
  That's. Crazy dude like.
• 51:01
  I've done that shit by accident, you know what I mean?
• 51:02
  And for didddling around, there were times when I had all of
• 51:07
  them, from the Integra to my Honda Accord to my Mazda
• 51:11
  Protege, I would just learn. I would learn how to control.
• 51:15
  And it it's. Definitely different.
• 51:17
  It's it's different. But like you just movement of a
• 51:24
  car's movement of a car, yeah, that's okay the same.
• 51:26
  So I got to a point in my Mazda Protege, particularly where.
• 51:31
  I could like we're talking about a I could, yeah, no.
• 51:33
  But I could initiate the drifts. And again, this is in inclement
• 51:37
  weather, in snows and blizzards. I could initiate like 60-70 mile
• 51:45
  an hour drift on the highway and I could manji that car with no E
• 51:51
  brake. Just wait.
• 51:54
  Transfer and I could just wait. Transfer and four lane that
• 51:56
  fucker. Left to right. 60-70 mile an
• 51:59
  hour on the highway. Hood and.
• 52:01
  You're. I mean hood for that.
• 52:02
  That's like that fucking that Iraq crazy.
• 52:07
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So no bullshit, but like when
• 52:10
  you understand how soft works. Soft and compliance.
• 52:16
  That that's what took me to like, Ohh shit like, man, what
• 52:20
  if I could do this in the fucking far?
• 52:23
  Yeah, this doesn't even have a two way, let alone no power to
• 52:25
  the wheels. Yeah, like how like you had a
• 52:28
  lot of front wheel drive cars. It sounds a lot of front wheel
• 52:30
  drive cars. Even though I had front wheel
• 52:32
  drive cars, I just was obsessed about making them kick out.
• 52:34
  Like I would learn how to you know if you watch like the the
• 52:38
  drift Bible video like. Yeah, right there.
• 52:40
  Yeah, I know. I like that.
• 52:41
  It's called the you know, Dory King would be like you know,
• 52:45
  Excel off, Excel off. Yeah, I would like try to learn
• 52:48
  the excel off. But again like when you do front
• 52:50
  wheel drive or any car, those those drift techniques that he's
• 52:54
  talking about, those are dude, those are high speed techniques.
• 52:56
  Those aren't like you're at the car track.
• 52:59
  Yeah, doing second gear maybe a little.
• 53:00
  No, like you're using real momentum to make those cars move
• 53:05
  and they don't, they don't move on demand.
• 53:08
  There's a. Yeah, you can't just do, do, do.
• 53:10
  There's a there's a patience to it.
• 53:12
  You gotta feel the front give a little bit.
• 53:15
  There's a patience. You feel the front calm a little
• 53:17
  bit. You feel the rear cum, but you
• 53:19
  have to tell yourself don't counter steer yet.
• 53:21
  Like you gotta let it go okay. And then you start start moving
• 53:26
  with it through the front wheel drive shit anybody that talks
• 53:29
  shit like fuck off. Yeah, the front wheel drive
• 53:33
  drivers. I'm not saying I was one of
• 53:35
  them, but those dudes can fucking wheel.
• 53:38
  I think it they can fucking wheel.
• 53:40
  I think it's just. Funny, just because I feel like
• 53:43
  that's the reason why I got out of front wheel drive for
• 53:46
  drifting was because I of course felt what that was bringing your
• 53:49
  FF to D-Day. Ohh you could.
• 53:51
  Well, no, I it didn't even it sparked the interest.
• 53:54
  That was it, That feeling of Because it will, yeah.
• 53:57
  Literally come out. But like, I think it was just
• 54:01
  because I was like, fuck it. It won't do what I think that
• 54:05
  it's going to do. And I was like bitch, but again,
• 54:08
  no more. At the end of the day, drifting
• 54:10
  is an expression. Yeah, there's subjective,
• 54:13
  totally certain image to it that a front wheel drive car will
• 54:16
  just never be able to emulate. Yeah.
• 54:18
  Or do, let's be honest, like it can't do, yeah.
• 54:21
  Obviously you can't. Yeah, but I guess in the
• 54:24
  technique aspect of it, it taught me a lot about this is
• 54:28
  gonna sound stupid, but this taught me a lot about St. style
• 54:30
  drifting. That doesn't sound stupid at
• 54:33
  all. You just said you were doing 4
• 54:34
  lane and inclement weather. Yeah, like that's St. when we
• 54:38
  would go you, you know I was already hanging bumpers on the
• 54:43
  curbs in probably drive cars so. So when I got my first S 13, it
• 54:50
  had an ATS Twin Carbon and I'd go out like trying to learn the
• 54:55
  Fr drift. And I was a I don't want to see
• 54:59
  it as a beast, but I could do long entries like that.
• 55:03
  And now it's probably a time where not a lot of people were
• 55:05
  able to do that kind of shit, you know?
• 55:07
  And there weren't a lot of images in the United States of
• 55:09
  people doing real St. shit. Then, yeah, no, but like I
• 55:12
  would. I can land the entry, but I
• 55:14
  couldn't land post apex. Yeah, because my mind is like.
• 55:19
  If that hit the fucking throb like that's what you're supposed
• 55:22
  to do but like you can't get around it, then that's just like
• 55:25
  where the experience like keep trying, keep trying.
• 55:28
  And I could just never go like, all right, let's just go to the
• 55:30
  turn go by the apex. Let's do some power over and
• 55:33
  Start learning how to like feel the dynamic.
• 55:35
  No, my fucking ass was like, again, go again and fucking
• 55:39
  throw at the entry. It's like that's the most
• 55:41
  exciting part. Dude, that is such a weird way
• 55:44
  of learning how to drift. It is, Yeah, it's very
• 55:46
  backwards. Like, Yeah, man, Fr.
• 55:48
  It's really. Well, no I well the diff no.
• 55:50
  I had 0 control of the rear wheels.
• 55:52
  At all, yeah, cuz I'm like trying to compare it to
• 55:55
  something. In my mind, it does sound
• 55:56
  because you're like. You're you're taking the Fr car
• 55:59
  now and everyone else is probably like Ohh shit.
• 56:02
  This guy knows what he's doing in this shit.
• 56:03
  But you're little things here and there.
• 56:05
  You're you gotta completely relearn.
• 56:06
  Yeah, but you knew how to throw the car.
• 56:08
  And yeah, so like a lot of guys are like trying to drift.
• 56:12
  And I, I, I remember in the early days of Streeting, we
• 56:17
  would go out and a lot of the guys would want to hit the
• 56:21
  industrial yards, the parks, the big trailer areas, big.
• 56:25
  And like, I was never interested in it.
• 56:27
  Yeah. And you never had.
• 56:28
  I was like wait, but like. Where was your interest at?
• 56:31
  I was like, but why don't we just go out onto the road?
• 56:34
  That's, yeah. Where where we can actually
• 56:36
  follow something. I was like, there's there are.
• 56:39
  You can put your eyes on what you want.
• 56:41
  Yes, so like I never understood for a very long time, even in
• 56:45
  the Fr my my my visual to just manji was always stupid.
• 56:51
  I didn't know how to fixate where I wanted the car to go to
• 56:55
  Manji in an Fr, but if you were to put me on like an
• 56:59
  intersection with maybe a couple turns, it's like, oh this is
• 57:03
  this is normal to me. I know where to fucking put the
• 57:05
  car. Dude, I.
• 57:07
  I think that that was an important point because a lot
• 57:10
  of, a lot of the stories that we hear, like, how did you learn
• 57:13
  how to drift? It's like, you know, we started
• 57:15
  in a parking lot and then you. Yeah, you elevate just that's
• 57:18
  like my story. And I'm sure a few others, yeah,
• 57:21
  can relate as well. It's like.
• 57:23
  Just keep trying, trying, trying.
• 57:25
  But it sounds like yours is like so out of the ordinary to me it
• 57:29
  is. It's awesome.
• 57:30
  Like you guys. I know there's, I've seen a
• 57:32
  couple clips you guys hit in some comfy ass parking lot.
• 57:35
  Probably. I don't know.
• 57:37
  It's like a Staples or whoever to fuck.
• 57:39
  Yeah, Ohh. Was that your lot?
• 57:41
  I mean, is it a Staples or some shit there?
• 57:43
  There's a. Bunch of them.
• 57:45
  It was a straight up commercial mall that you guys are drifting
• 57:48
  in. And it sounds dumb, but like we
• 57:51
  used to go to IKEA. Well, it it is IKEA.
• 57:54
  I I try not to fucking say too much though, but.
• 57:56
  Yeah, but it's an IKEA. We don't know where it is Josh
• 57:59
  Bernler spot. The thing, The thing is like,
• 58:01
  it's impossible. Takeover's ruined.
• 58:02
  Yeah, they they ruined that. Does that happen here?
• 58:04
  We asked. It's bad.
• 58:05
  We asked. We asked Breaking Derek and
• 58:07
  Derek. About this, but yeah, I don't
• 58:08
  know how Fort Wayne is right now.
• 58:09
  But out here, they said not really crazy over there.
• 58:12
  That's bad. It's, it's bad here.
• 58:14
  Yeah, I can see. It's just sadly, and I have
• 58:18
  some, you know, good pals and law enforcement when you bring,
• 58:23
  when you bring some of that excitement because it people get
• 58:27
  excited because people are watching it.
• 58:30
  But then, God, I don't want to be offensive because I don't
• 58:32
  want to make anybody mad about this.
• 58:34
  But when you bring certain crowds that truly have no
• 58:38
  respect for others, for life or law enforcement, and they bring
• 58:43
  certain things with them. The clack, I'll just put it that
• 58:46
  way. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 58:47
  It's like, dude, this is like, for real dangerous.
• 58:49
  Like what's? That is no longer a automotive
• 58:52
  thing going on. That's a fucking fellow.
• 58:54
  Like, I'm I'm like, in healthcare.
• 58:57
  Everybody knows I'm in healthcare.
• 58:59
  So like when I see a dude or a girl get whacked by a car, my
• 59:03
  first instinct is like, holy fuck, I gotta fucking find out
• 59:07
  if they're OK and I'm just like, watching it.
• 59:10
  Yeah, but the first response for some of the for many of the
• 59:13
  people spectating is to grab the phone.
• 59:16
  I'm like, so you want to capture somebody that could be injured
• 59:18
  if not dead. Like that's what you want to
• 59:20
  capture. Has nothing to even do with the
• 59:24
  the car. Like, it's like the girl that
• 59:26
  hurt. I don't know why is this cool.
• 59:29
  I don't know. It seems like that's the the
• 59:31
  kids these days, I mean. It Do you think it's just like
• 59:34
  an outlet thing? I think it has a lot to do with
• 59:36
  social media because the phone is is making them want to do
• 59:39
  this. Number one phone is just wild.
• 59:42
  Like that's why I said like I go here and there now to sell a
• 59:45
  couple of parts, respond to a couple of people that you know
• 59:48
  the. You're social media.
• 59:49
  You're talking about social media, right?
• 59:51
  But like right now, since December, like, I just can't get
• 59:55
  myself to to get into it because I'm just like, man, I really am
• 59:58
  like sad about like what I'm seeing as much as the good
• 1:00:02
  stuff, you know, the good stuff that you guys are doing.
• 1:00:05
  Like I can I can make my way to see your pod without getting hit
• 1:00:09
  with some of the other stuff, yeah.
• 1:00:12
  That's but if I'm trying to scroll it's like it's
• 1:00:14
  impossible. You you will literally just if
• 1:00:16
  your Instagram feed has anything automotive related, it will come
• 1:00:19
  up 100%. It's gonna, it's gonna show
• 1:00:22
  that. That sucks, dude.
• 1:00:23
  It's just yeah, it's the fact that it's the the algorithm's
• 1:00:26
  gonna bring that to me, even though I don't want it.
• 1:00:29
  Yeah, that's. Probably why it's gonna bring it
• 1:00:30
  to you. Yeah, it's.
• 1:00:31
  Unfortunate what is what's on the On the contrary though, I
• 1:00:35
  met a lot of younger people. Next generation type.
• 1:00:38
  Of of actual Drifters. And those ones, those guys and
• 1:00:43
  girls are the ones that are going to be the ones that that
• 1:00:49
  make sure that the sport continues.
• 1:00:51
  Yeah. Because they they they're all
• 1:00:53
  like and they're it's a very they're the ones that are,
• 1:00:55
  they're all friends with each other.
• 1:00:57
  They all know each other. Maybe they might, it might not
• 1:00:59
  be friends, but they're acquaintances.
• 1:01:00
  And it works. Yeah.
• 1:01:02
  And like, at least you could still still see that and I think
• 1:01:05
  that makes me happy. Yeah, cuz I do try to tune out
• 1:01:08
  the takeover stuff they still have, like.
• 1:01:10
  The same vibe and stuff. It hasn't changed that much.
• 1:01:12
  Like in the actual Drift community.
• 1:01:14
  I feel like the new, the new people in it, they don't seem
• 1:01:18
  that different. From Dude, I I've met some
• 1:01:20
  people who are obsessed with it. They know so much stuff.
• 1:01:24
  And I'm like, yeah, how? Do you know it was way better at
• 1:01:26
  driving? They're incredible.
• 1:01:30
  You know, I'm. I'm only on this podcast because
• 1:01:36
  of that stuff. Yeah, that's the only reason I'm
• 1:01:39
  here. That's really the reason that
• 1:01:41
  you guys were able to get to like, you know, for me to get
• 1:01:45
  onto your radar, it's because of that stuff.
• 1:01:48
  Like drifting and all the. The stuff that makes you you
• 1:01:53
  like, I, I, I was admiring a lot of your memorabilia here.
• 1:01:55
  Just because like yeah, it's memorabilia.
• 1:01:57
  They're not like the only reason when I a lot of guys like how
• 1:02:02
  how are you managed, bro. Like how do you manage to stay
• 1:02:05
  interested. It's because like I revolve like
• 1:02:10
  there's times when like I can't drive the car or I can't go to
• 1:02:13
  the event or I can't go to the me, you know.
• 1:02:16
  But it's OK because like like I still love that's what I love.
• 1:02:22
  Like, yeah, I was telling you guys earlier, hey man, what are
• 1:02:25
  you best at at doing? And like what's the best thing
• 1:02:28
  you can do in in cars? What have you what's what are
• 1:02:32
  you best at Best mechanic You. The best driver?
• 1:02:35
  Best MC Yeah, no, I'm just the best spectator.
• 1:02:40
  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you. Were talking about that you do
• 1:02:42
  and that's it. I think that that's.
• 1:02:44
  I just love to see it. Man, yeah.
• 1:02:46
  I don't get me wrong, I love the driving.
• 1:02:49
  It means. And you're very good at it, by
• 1:02:51
  the way. Nonetheless, I love the driving.
• 1:02:54
  But like, God forbid, let's say like, oh man, like I can't.
• 1:02:59
  Like, I never. This is the stuff, man.
• 1:03:02
  That's what means everything to me.
• 1:03:04
  That's what keeps me going. How do you stay interested?
• 1:03:06
  I'm just interested. Look, I want it.
• 1:03:08
  I want to see it. Yeah.
• 1:03:10
  It's crazy because, like, I want to see it.
• 1:03:12
  You bringing that up and talking about it reminds me of like when
• 1:03:15
  I met you all you guys and like probably more so fine about two,
• 1:03:20
  but. Just about to ask when you two
• 1:03:22
  met. Be fine about one for sure, but
• 1:03:24
  more so fine about two. When I had my car here and
• 1:03:26
  everything, the way you guys reacted to everyone that came
• 1:03:30
  here and like. The amount of love you showed
• 1:03:32
  everyone was, first of all, we're not fucking used to that
• 1:03:35
  shit. No, No, we're not.
• 1:03:37
  You know. Dude, at Chickfila, I'm over
• 1:03:40
  here like Frankie. Everybody here is so fucking
• 1:03:43
  nice. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:44
  Look at all the plants. The real.
• 1:03:45
  And obviously we're in the Chicago area, so it's not
• 1:03:47
  completely like that like he's talking about, but it's I feel
• 1:03:51
  like the East Coast is just so much more like, I don't know,
• 1:03:55
  it's the fuck you attitude. You need tough skin.
• 1:03:57
  Yeah, and here it was like you guys were so.
• 1:04:00
  Open and loving and like, dude, I love this shit that you have
• 1:04:04
  in your car, This and that, bro. That shit, like, changed my life
• 1:04:07
  when I came here. Talking about this is changing
• 1:04:10
  my life right now, I think. Well, let me speak on proceed.
• 1:04:18
  Yes, I hope they don't get upset.
• 1:04:19
  No, let's let's let's go into proceed because I out of the
• 1:04:22
  five. OK.
• 1:04:26
  I don't think out of the five there is one that would care to
• 1:04:39
  win and compete that would be. Lead we mean that and I respect
• 1:04:44
  because that's the way we see that is his part in the five
• 1:04:50
  roses. That's his personality.
• 1:04:52
  That's that's his that's one of the fucking 5 roses.
• 1:04:55
  That's the. Is that what it is?
• 1:04:58
  I saw the Rose on the dashboard. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:05:01
  That shit is so cool, man. What the fuck?
• 1:05:03
  Like, where's the fuck man? So.
• 1:05:07
  But besides that, the and Lee is still part of this part that I'm
• 1:05:12
  going to say there's the part that with drifting, there's the
• 1:05:18
  piece that the majority of us and all of us also don't care to
• 1:05:23
  win. Yeah.
• 1:05:25
  So when I look at Frankie's shit and like knowing that he's got a
• 1:05:30
  22 coming, like I don't care that I'm going to be way fucking
• 1:05:39
  slower than him. I'm just pumped that it's going
• 1:05:43
  to. That bitch is going to be
• 1:05:44
  stamped HKS 2 two. Yeah, like he's winning for me.
• 1:05:50
  The fact. That he's winning for me, cuz
• 1:05:53
  this is like, dude, I mean, that's our dream.
• 1:05:56
  Yeah, Yeah, which you're doing. You think HKS 2 too.
• 1:06:01
  You think of HKS the. History drag car.
• 1:06:04
  You think of all that shit. You're thinking of NLB.
• 1:06:06
  You're thinking of the 15 S 15 cuz.
• 1:06:09
  Yeah, we talked about it. It's God's setup, man.
• 1:06:12
  That's like, yeah, man, I don't even know where we're going.
• 1:06:16
  My mind's everywhere. Yeah, it always happens to me,
• 1:06:19
  but. When we were talking about teams
• 1:06:20
  and how. But yeah, yeah, we're so loving
• 1:06:23
  cuz we don't care to be better than you.
• 1:06:29
  Yeah, or that crew. Yeah, you know.
• 1:06:32
  Is that how it always was? Yeah, bro, we don't.
• 1:06:35
  Yeah, I mean if you look back, Club Fr, they they did, they did
• 1:06:41
  for a short while have the feeder series to get you guys to
• 1:06:44
  get the giant, the feeder series to get you guys to like a pro Am
• 1:06:47
  setting or. Whatever.
• 1:06:48
  Oh, OK. OK.
• 1:06:49
  For kind of like a competition, more of a competition, 100%
• 1:06:53
  level. Yeah, type of to get you to to
• 1:06:56
  that level, yeah. You do a feeder series.
• 1:06:57
  Familiarize yourself a little bit more.
• 1:07:00
  I I think that recently a lot more people are having those
• 1:07:03
  kinds of competitions, which is great and it makes sense because
• 1:07:05
  I think the grassroots is like, fuck, it's fucking sick, right?
• 1:07:10
  It is, yeah. I mean, the grassroots is way
• 1:07:13
  cooler than probably. I don't care.
• 1:07:15
  It is. It's just by a long.
• 1:07:17
  Yeah, it literally is. A driver 3 for three series,
• 1:07:22
  yeah. Holy fuck.
• 1:07:23
  They wheel hard because they that's them.
• 1:07:26
  They got these dudes. That's their shit to lose.
• 1:07:29
  These dudes are bananas, these drivers, these simulator kids
• 1:07:32
  bananas, yeah. Do you have a?
• 1:07:35
  Do you do that, bro? Negative.
• 1:07:39
  Negative. I feel like you can maybe get.
• 1:07:41
  If you did, I feel like you would probably have some fucking
• 1:07:44
  wild. Oh yeah, it would be in here.
• 1:07:45
  Why do I feel like it would be like, no, man, I I'm just way
• 1:07:52
  too involved with the feel of things, yeah.
• 1:07:56
  Yeah, I've never gotten it either.
• 1:07:58
  I mean, I'm sure I would have fun, but you know, like, you
• 1:08:01
  know, I use that word, you know, aura pretty frequently because
• 1:08:05
  that's if I identify that something has that energy, like
• 1:08:09
  that's what I'll be attracted to.
• 1:08:12
  Yeah. Fucking computer screen don't
• 1:08:15
  actually don't attract me at all.
• 1:08:17
  Yeah. Yeah, it was.
• 1:08:17
  It's it doesn't get me. It's it's we.
• 1:08:20
  We said this yesterday with with breaking, but it's a tool, it's
• 1:08:24
  a very. It is not a substitute.
• 1:08:26
  It is not a one to one. It is a tool and like it's a
• 1:08:30
  tool that is available. Primarily the people who wanna
• 1:08:34
  first dip their toe in. Yeah.
• 1:08:37
  And then they go do that and then they're like, fuck, I'm
• 1:08:39
  gonna get a real car now. Like, for me, it's doesn't mean
• 1:08:43
  a fucking thing to me. Yeah, I just, I just wait.
• 1:08:49
  Too involved. I, you know.
• 1:08:51
  And my buddies have been pretty good at getting them set up.
• 1:08:54
  Like Lee's got a good setup. J Lacks from burst.
• 1:08:57
  Speed's got a burst speed. Sorry.
• 1:08:59
  From Team Gleam. It's got a good setup.
• 1:09:02
  Melvin del Rosario, it's got a good setup.
• 1:09:04
  They've all tried to like pitch info to me, like, you know, Is
• 1:09:06
  this how you set it up? Are we trying to get you on
• 1:09:09
  that? Yeah, we can hook you up.
• 1:09:10
  Like, yeah, we can get you set up for like X amount of dollars.
• 1:09:14
  And for me, I'm just like well. What would you get from that?
• 1:09:18
  Yeah. So I don't, I just, I spend
• 1:09:22
  those X amount of dollars and I just go cart on my own.
• 1:09:26
  Yeah dude, I feel the same exact way as you.
• 1:09:28
  Yeah, even if it's even if it's electric and it's not as
• 1:09:31
  exciting. Still more exciting to me to be
• 1:09:34
  behind the wheel and like, fucking sweating and my fucking
• 1:09:38
  wrist hurt. Not to mention, like you might
• 1:09:42
  get sucked into it and then before you know what, you were
• 1:09:44
  spending more time doing that shit than being in the garage or
• 1:09:46
  whatever else. Like, that's my thing.
• 1:09:47
  I don't know if I don't know if I don't know if I get that from
• 1:09:50
  you, Josh, that you would deviate especially from somebody
• 1:09:54
  who. Literally appreciates the
• 1:09:56
  feeling it gives you. No SIM does that for me.
• 1:10:00
  I I'm in VR, I do triple. I've tried triple monitors.
• 1:10:03
  I've tried this, tried that. It does not.
• 1:10:05
  There's no substitute. Only what you need, that fucking
• 1:10:07
  seat that moves. That doesn't do it.
• 1:10:09
  In fact, that just weirds me out because I'm like, sitting there.
• 1:10:12
  I'm like, like I'm like, what the fuck?
• 1:10:14
  It's. Just like it's crazy that, like
• 1:10:15
  they go to all these different fucking levels of trying to make
• 1:10:17
  it real. Yeah, you can just go buy a real
• 1:10:19
  car. It's like, it's like that scene
• 1:10:22
  from Demolition Man deal with Sylvester.
• 1:10:25
  Yeah, mostly Snipes. There's this scene when him and
• 1:10:28
  Sandra Bullock are trying to fuck, but it's like like VR
• 1:10:32
  fucked. Ohh yeah, yeah.
• 1:10:34
  Like to me, it's just like, well, I don't know, man.
• 1:10:38
  It feels good, yeah. I don't know.
• 1:10:40
  It feels good like. So that's me.
• 1:10:42
  And like luckily I've, you know, we're talking like I I've worked
• 1:10:48
  really hard to put myself in a position to stay as physical as
• 1:10:51
  I can with it. So like you know that I got a 4S
• 1:10:57
  cuz I can drive in the Blizzard. Yeah, you literally.
• 1:11:00
  He literally said that earlier. It's not because I can't.
• 1:11:03
  It's cuz I want yeah to drive the 9/11 through some shit.
• 1:11:11
  Yeah. You know, if I see a video of
• 1:11:13
  this thing doing some crazy mongies.
• 1:11:16
  That would be wild. And I haven't.
• 1:11:17
  It could have no plate, and I will literally know it's Josh.
• 1:11:20
  Sadly enough it's you know that the takeover stuff has gotten to
• 1:11:24
  the point that maybe some of you guys might have noticed.
• 1:11:28
  Probably not cuz I don't have a lot of followers on YouTube cuz
• 1:11:31
  I purposely keep the titles on the DL but like I wiped out all
• 1:11:36
  my fucking videos. Well, I'm sure they're on a
• 1:11:41
  secure account somewhere or. Something, hopefully, hopefully
• 1:11:43
  they are. Hopefully you got to save them
• 1:11:44
  first. Yeah, but so like all my all
• 1:11:47
  that stuff. Gone.
• 1:11:48
  The reason I took it off. I don't.
• 1:11:50
  I don't do St. anymore just because I'm scared.
• 1:11:54
  That of course. Why?
• 1:11:55
  Not I can get in trouble and then risk mega.
• 1:11:58
  Something that so I like to do. Once my car is running, he's not
• 1:12:01
  going to have a choice but. It's not the it's not the.
• 1:12:04
  There has to be a certain level there where?
• 1:12:08
  I don't know. I feel like when I was younger I
• 1:12:09
  was doing dumb shit like. Like for I'll be midday traffic
• 1:12:12
  fucking hitting an off ramp. Allegedly.
• 1:12:14
  Yeah, and like that. That stuff I do remember doing
• 1:12:16
  when I was. Younger and I'm like, what am I
• 1:12:18
  doing, dude? I don't know, man.
• 1:12:19
  I'm, I'm certainly, I'm fucking an old fart.
• 1:12:24
  But I don't know if this is the time for me to like, set.
• 1:12:31
  Like, again, I'm not really on the social like before.
• 1:12:36
  Yeah, but like, I don't know if this is the time where I either
• 1:12:39
  just go silent and no longer exist to that world, or do I
• 1:12:44
  take the time to exist in that world and show what we think is
• 1:12:51
  the better way to do. I think the second one, oh.
• 1:12:54
  To set your example, don't. Don't write off the first
• 1:12:58
  example because sometimes like. I don't know, especially
• 1:13:04
  recently because of the exposure with the podcast, sometimes I
• 1:13:06
  feel like the need I'm like, fuck, I'm not posting.
• 1:13:11
  I I I'm not, you know, I'm not providing anything to the people
• 1:13:14
  who want to see what I'm doing. But then when you say the
• 1:13:18
  silence thing, there's a there are points in time where I don't
• 1:13:21
  post anything. That doesn't mean I'm not doing
• 1:13:23
  anything, but that means I'm just enjoying my own.
• 1:13:26
  And I think that that's an important thing for you right
• 1:13:29
  now. Yeah, I it again.
• 1:13:31
  There's a I never considered what I have as a platform
• 1:13:36
  because I'm just like this dude like that.
• 1:13:37
  I'm just like a dude. And then to top it off it again,
• 1:13:43
  I'm just some dude. And then the dude shit that I do
• 1:13:48
  is the same shit I've been doing forever.
• 1:13:51
  Yeah, so I'm kind of like, who the fuck wants to see this shit?
• 1:13:55
  This dude is doing? Like who gives a?
• 1:13:56
  Fuck, it just happens to be cool.
• 1:13:58
  Like, you just happen to like, cool shit God.
• 1:14:01
  You're just so. You're giving me vibes of my dad
• 1:14:03
  right now. Because remember when boat shoes
• 1:14:05
  came back in like 2012 or 11 or whatever?
• 1:14:08
  Not really. My dad was pissed.
• 1:14:10
  Because he was like, I've been wearing boat shoes for years.
• 1:14:13
  And now you guys think this is cool and he was so pissed about.
• 1:14:17
  That, yeah. I mean, Josh, I get what you're
• 1:14:19
  saying and and you have a teammate that has done that
• 1:14:22
  disappeared, you know what I mean?
• 1:14:23
  So, yeah. And it's and, you know, when me
• 1:14:26
  and that teammate talk, it's like it feels OK to not exist.
• 1:14:31
  Yeah, in that realm. But being part of what I keep
• 1:14:34
  calling the 2nd wave of drifting, I missed that dude.
• 1:14:38
  I miss seeing his shit. I miss talking to him.
• 1:14:40
  And like when I went out to California, I texted Ilya and
• 1:14:42
  and you know, we he's like, oh yo, what's up?
• 1:14:44
  I didn't know you were here and this and that.
• 1:14:45
  And I'm like, I'm like, yeah, it sucks because it's like now, now
• 1:14:49
  our lives are like our phones. It sucks because, like, I'll go
• 1:14:52
  out there and I didn't even think about it.
• 1:14:54
  And but I'm like, if I saw him on Instagram, I will obviously
• 1:14:57
  fucking would have thought it. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:59
  Yeah. So it's like there's a fine
• 1:15:00
  line. I mean, you know, this shit's
• 1:15:03
  bad, right? But like, you can't, you can't
• 1:15:07
  go on my on my Instagram and my YouTube and I can't be like this
• 1:15:15
  dude's doing Rev limiter third year entries on the street and
• 1:15:21
  then I and then I tell this guy. Don't.
• 1:15:24
  Don't do that. Don't go to.
• 1:15:26
  A OK, You know, take over. Yeah, cuz there's.
• 1:15:30
  I know, We know. There's a difference, Yeah,
• 1:15:32
  yeah, yeah. But as a whole, there's not to.
• 1:15:35
  Optics point of view is that's the same.
• 1:15:37
  Shit from a I like to think of it as somebody who wasn't in a
• 1:15:40
  car, as if they saw it, would they be like, yeah.
• 1:15:43
  Oh my God, you're doing the same stuff.
• 1:15:45
  It'd be the same shit, it'd. Be Yeah.
• 1:15:47
  And this happened because again, it's like, oh, that's that's
• 1:15:51
  Tokyo Drift. Okay.
• 1:15:52
  Then you go to a takeover, People popping off guns, doing
• 1:15:56
  Donuts and bringing gasoline and lighting up fires.
• 1:16:00
  Guess what? That's Tokyo Drift number two.
• 1:16:03
  Yeah. Like.
• 1:16:04
  Yeah, that's fast. Now 7 right?
• 1:16:07
  It's no, it's crazy. That's.
• 1:16:10
  It's just it's it's crazy to me because I I'm telling you, I
• 1:16:13
  refer to that average consumer, the average American, because.
• 1:16:17
  We decided Carl's the average American.
• 1:16:18
  I don't know why I'm an average. Consumer dude.
• 1:16:20
  I like to. I I feel like.
• 1:16:22
  What were we talking about, I? Forget my spending problem.
• 1:16:25
  Oh yeah, I like to buy vehicles that are cheap.
• 1:16:28
  He has a He's always on his phone and marketplace, no matter
• 1:16:30
  where we are. You never know what you find
• 1:16:32
  guys. That's that is also part of the
• 1:16:35
  reason I stopped going on the social media because I'm like
• 1:16:42
  you catch yourself looking at shit and you're mind, especially
• 1:16:46
  if you're obsessive like me, you'll find a way to tell you
• 1:16:50
  something. Hell man, how the fuck can I get
• 1:16:52
  this? Yeah, fuck, you know, like.
• 1:16:56
  Yeah, you know it's don't get me wrong.
• 1:17:00
  Like my CE's like one of my top next to LM's like one of my top
• 1:17:06
  wheels and like the last 8C E's I bought random.
• 1:17:13
  Gee, yeah, like wait, what the fuck your C e's like within an
• 1:17:18
  hour and a half of me For how much fucking going?
• 1:17:22
  I don't need them. Yeah, you guys might have the
• 1:17:24
  same problem. Yeah, like I.
• 1:17:25
  Don't. But you controlled it.
• 1:17:27
  I don't know, but it looks like. You've.
• 1:17:30
  I think he's in the process of trying to.
• 1:17:31
  I'm trying to, but like even the space that I'm having, like I'm
• 1:17:35
  like I don't want to see I'm outgrowing it, but I needed to
• 1:17:38
  start bringing stuff out of like my storage and boxes and I'm
• 1:17:43
  just like uh oh like this is filling up.
• 1:17:46
  Yeah, yeah. You know, I'm already picturing
• 1:17:48
  a tire rack right here. Yeah, Wall.
• 1:17:50
  Mounted. I feel like it would be over
• 1:17:51
  there. Yeah, over here, yeah, but it's
• 1:17:54
  like, where am I going to put 12 lmgt fours?
• 1:17:57
  Yeah, that's that's another thing.
• 1:17:58
  And 10CE20 eights and. Then you got like 3 bumpers that
• 1:18:02
  you literally can't get rid of and all this shit like, yeah,
• 1:18:05
  I've got like 2 full sets of like your formula.
• 1:18:08
  I've got one sexy style kit. Authentic.
• 1:18:10
  Yeah, the top. I've got every replacement panel
• 1:18:12
  for the S2000. Oh my God, I just sold all my
• 1:18:16
  GT3 aero bullshit that I had for this 911.
• 1:18:19
  Yeah, I had to. I was like, I had to get a whole
• 1:18:21
  shop for all my shit. Yeah, she was like, wait, I just
• 1:18:23
  built this place? But it's true though.
• 1:18:25
  Like, stupid. What the fuck's?
• 1:18:26
  Going on, we all do the same. I mean, some of us do the same
• 1:18:29
  shit. Like I got fenders just sitting
• 1:18:31
  there. I'm never, I never know.
• 1:18:32
  If we use them like, people don't get it.
• 1:18:34
  They're like, where's your lawnmower?
• 1:18:37
  Like it's in the fucking back. It's just not going to be in my
• 1:18:39
  garage. Yeah, what?
• 1:18:40
  Are you crazy? Where's your Where's your Weed
• 1:18:43
  whacker, bro? Yeah, in the back because it
• 1:18:46
  doesn't belong in my garage. Yeah, you're fucking weird.
• 1:18:51
  Dude, that's this is like like we said earlier, this is the
• 1:18:54
  this is the perfect man cave. It's not fine, but it's it's in
• 1:18:57
  the process. It's, it's starting to move.
• 1:19:01
  It's, yeah, it's a little bit personalized now.
• 1:19:03
  Yeah. I just look at it and I'm like
• 1:19:05
  the heavy guys here, man. Like I I again like, I don't
• 1:19:11
  know, I'm, I'm kind of out there like raw dog in life right now.
• 1:19:13
  So when I see shit like this, I'm like, yeah, I want that.
• 1:19:18
  Carl's got Carl's got the little carport next to his house.
• 1:19:22
  All right. All right.
• 1:19:23
  It's not that. Little It's pretty big.
• 1:19:24
  Got the carport? It's a tent.
• 1:19:26
  Everything I set. Up.
• 1:19:27
  Everything I build is in there. I keep it neat.
• 1:19:30
  Yeah, we've blow all the leaves in it.
• 1:19:31
  And it's yours out of there. It's your spot.
• 1:19:33
  Yeah, I put everything in there. That's where my wheels are.
• 1:19:36
  Tires. They're also engine SO1J in
• 1:19:38
  there. Well, you know, we we lived in a
• 1:19:41
  townhome for a few years, kind of trying to figure out what we
• 1:19:44
  want to do. I mean, the house was definitely
• 1:19:47
  gonna like within like our sites.
• 1:19:50
  We just didn't really have a time frame then.
• 1:19:52
  I think you hit it on the head, yeah.
• 1:19:54
  But they saw our discussion earlier, but that COVID COVID
• 1:19:57
  happened and it kind of whipped me into shape like.
• 1:20:01
  You know, me and my wife just made a decision like, yo, we,
• 1:20:04
  our lives may be different. We might not be able to travel
• 1:20:07
  like we used to. We don't know when we're going
• 1:20:08
  to be able to see friends and family.
• 1:20:10
  Of course, this was in the thick of COVID guys when everything
• 1:20:13
  was locked down. But me being in the healthcare
• 1:20:16
  industry, like I could already foresee, I was like, this
• 1:20:18
  lockdown is not going to be one month.
• 1:20:20
  Yeah, yeah. And it turned out how long?
• 1:20:21
  Yeah, I don't even know. I don't even know.
• 1:20:23
  Was it like half a year like it was?
• 1:20:24
  Crazy. At least two year.
• 1:20:26
  Like straight lockdown, lockdown that wasn't.
• 1:20:29
  Still, depending on what kind of counties you lived in, they
• 1:20:32
  could hold their own types of lockdowns, yes, you know,
• 1:20:34
  depending on how the numbers were, etc, etc.
• 1:20:37
  So I was like, yo babe, like this is fucked.
• 1:20:39
  Like, I don't know when we're going anywhere.
• 1:20:42
  So, you know, we we just made a conscious decision and made a
• 1:20:45
  plan to like, yo, let's get our own place and maybe we can
• 1:20:48
  create a place that's like cool enough that like we actually
• 1:20:50
  want to be at it if we can't go travel all the time.
• 1:20:53
  Yeah. So you made your home base.
• 1:20:55
  So like we kind of. The rock, We kind of just did it
• 1:20:58
  up like this. I had opportunity to, you know,
• 1:21:02
  create some space for my bullshit.
• 1:21:04
  I think create is a loose word because this is.
• 1:21:09
  Like even the space, like you found a way to express yourself
• 1:21:13
  within it, which is wild. Yeah, like this is an expression
• 1:21:17
  to me. That's the kind of person he is,
• 1:21:18
  man. I know.
• 1:21:19
  Like you can it really like. It's because of space.
• 1:21:22
  Really. What?
• 1:21:22
  You said B boy earlier. I yeah, I feel the same.
• 1:21:25
  Way I was like, OK, yeah, boying is a hugely expression type of
• 1:21:31
  emotion. Yeah, leave it out on the floor
• 1:21:33
  type of again, it's just, I don't know, man.
• 1:21:37
  It's just spiritual because like, I can never just.
• 1:21:40
  Oh yeah, like Kaguchi was an inspiration.
• 1:21:43
  UEO, yeah. Komatsu whatever.
• 1:21:46
  Right. Kazama.
• 1:21:49
  Yeah, those are all inspiration to me.
• 1:21:54
  But so was Chicago footwork, dancing.
• 1:21:57
  So is the Chicago Bulls dynasty. So is you know, Michael Jordan.
• 1:22:03
  Like, I I know you guys probably have some, you know,
• 1:22:08
  relationship to Michael Jordan and his brand, but you know,
• 1:22:11
  that shit was. Ours, yeah.
• 1:22:13
  Yeah, definitely. And I'm not trying.
• 1:22:15
  Chicago your whole life, Yeah. So, like, I'm I'm not trying to
• 1:22:17
  be territorial, but when it comes to like, when people fuck
• 1:22:21
  with their region, you know, that's our shit.
• 1:22:26
  Yeah, like. And look, I'm not, I'm not
• 1:22:29
  wearing Jays right now. Like I got like, mate, if you
• 1:22:32
  guys get a chance, those are my original mics.
• 1:22:34
  Right now, I literally was looking at them earlier and I
• 1:22:36
  was like, why are these up here? This pair of those aren't
• 1:22:40
  infrared. They're not infrared, but
• 1:22:42
  they're faded like they are but like I like.
• 1:22:44
  So that's a very good example as to how I do things.
• 1:22:50
  A price tag has nothing to do with it, even though we all know
• 1:22:52
  as children, Michael Jordan shoes was a very stupid thing to
• 1:22:55
  buy as a child because you grow out of them.
• 1:22:58
  Yeah, yeah, very quickly. But that's my personality.
• 1:23:00
  Like this is what I really want and I really want to use it.
• 1:23:06
  Yeah, I mean don't go around, like, yeah, I've got some stuff
• 1:23:09
  here hanging around because I think it looks cool, but like
• 1:23:11
  car shit wise, like yo, buying that shit cuz I'm gonna use it.
• 1:23:15
  Yeah. Would you say like I've been big
• 1:23:18
  on this recently, but would you say?
• 1:23:21
  It's you're you're paying homage to like the stuff that you like
• 1:23:25
  as when you were younger. That's why I need you here cuz
• 1:23:27
  my mind again like ADHD like a motherfucker.
• 1:23:30
  Oh, dude, I I have. I've been all over the damn
• 1:23:32
  place. My brain is over there.
• 1:23:33
  But I can't not answer and write where the it's.
• 1:23:41
  It's everything in my soul that has all the experiences somehow.
• 1:23:46
  Someway, that's how it, yeah, turns into something like that,
• 1:23:50
  I guess. Whatever.
• 1:23:51
  It's just a Nissan. Yeah, it's just a Nissan.
• 1:23:53
  Probably one of the most beautiful S chassis I've ever
• 1:23:56
  seen. Yeah, next to Frankie's, Yeah.
• 1:23:58
  But like, you know the there's just this aura and this style
• 1:24:03
  aspect of things that I don't want to say.
• 1:24:07
  People don't know what that is or don't identify with it, but I
• 1:24:11
  know I do. Yeah, I'm glad you're aware of
• 1:24:13
  it, at least because we see it. You know, like, I'm not a
• 1:24:16
  fashion dude, but I know how a dude can rock pants and how it
• 1:24:20
  looks on the shoe versus maybe somebody else that wears it and
• 1:24:23
  it like, where's your shoe, bro? You have 6 shoes, but I can't
• 1:24:27
  even see them. Yeah, it's it's that.
• 1:24:31
  And that's what it it's like that's your that's the type of
• 1:24:34
  person you are and that and it's weird.
• 1:24:36
  It's like it's more than, I don't know what it means either
• 1:24:38
  but it's but it's like it's more than just building a car.
• 1:24:42
  You know what I mean? Like it's I just, it's just how
• 1:24:44
  you are in life. That's just under the assumption
• 1:24:47
  that everybody has their experiences.
• 1:24:48
  So like when they want to try to do something, they're just going
• 1:24:51
  to do it. Like, yeah, I just feel like
• 1:24:54
  there's not a whole lot of ways to do this.
• 1:24:57
  So when people say it's like cool, I'm like, but dude,
• 1:24:59
  there's like 3 examples. Of how to do it?
• 1:25:02
  In the in the general. Like, yeah, I mean, I get what
• 1:25:05
  you're saying. But, like, but like, I don't
• 1:25:08
  know. We've seen some pretty bad cars.
• 1:25:10
  But I I guess maybe at least I could say like, OK, fine, I I
• 1:25:15
  think that I was blessed and lucky enough to have been
• 1:25:18
  surrounded by things that would have appeared stylish.
• 1:25:23
  Yeah, to me, yeah. So I guess.
• 1:25:27
  Yeah, yeah, that's what it is. That's really what it is.
• 1:25:30
  But again, it's subjective. This may not be stylish to many
• 1:25:34
  guys. They were like, yeah, just
• 1:25:35
  whack. Yeah, with that thing on the
• 1:25:37
  back. Like.
• 1:25:38
  It. Reminds me of the details though
• 1:25:41
  of the details. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:25:43
  Very much so, but. For some people, that's not even
• 1:25:45
  a thought. Dude, But The thing is is the
• 1:25:47
  details are what? Can differentiate it, you know.
• 1:25:52
  Yeah, not to take breaking again as an example, but they have
• 1:25:55
  right at yellow wheels, right? And you said you wanted to.
• 1:25:59
  I was trying to explain to them without insulting them.
• 1:26:01
  I was like, that's some shit that I would never do, but I was
• 1:26:04
  trying to explain to them. But they nailed it and they ran.
• 1:26:06
  They made it cool. I could never do it exactly.
• 1:26:09
  I could never do the highlighter.
• 1:26:11
  No, I cannot. I can't do it.
• 1:26:13
  Those shits. The whole crew, yeah.
• 1:26:16
  Fire like that. Fire.
• 1:26:18
  You remember one of the final bouts?
• 1:26:19
  It was. It was Bianski.
• 1:26:22
  Camden had the Miata. He had yellow wheels.
• 1:26:25
  Yeah, fucking. I think tongue had yellow wheels
• 1:26:28
  on the Corolla outside. Yeah, like it.
• 1:26:30
  Finally they all came host to do that, yeah.
• 1:26:33
  Yeah. Yeah, that's wrong.
• 1:26:34
  Like, why does you see that shit you'd be like, why does this
• 1:26:37
  look good? Like all these cars are good.
• 1:26:40
  But. But Bianski was an artist about
• 1:26:42
  it. When when we explained it, I was
• 1:26:44
  gonna say so. Bianski bro.
• 1:26:45
  He's the artist. He look he well, when I was
• 1:26:48
  like, Oh yeah, I kind of wanted my cars blue.
• 1:26:50
  He explained it to me right away.
• 1:26:51
  He was like, well, it's easy to contrast.
• 1:26:54
  And I was like, I guess if you look on the color wheel, it's
• 1:26:57
  like right across. From it.
• 1:26:59
  But that guy, he he gets it. Yeah.
• 1:27:03
  See, I don't. I'm not able to put things to
• 1:27:06
  words that that's smooth. Like contrast, but like for me,
• 1:27:13
  I don't know. Contrast is cool, but then like,
• 1:27:15
  I like shit that doesn't. Yeah, either.
• 1:27:19
  I do think contrast is a very if we're going into the details
• 1:27:23
  right now, I think it is a big part of making these cars look
• 1:27:26
  the way we want them to look. It is but like I had off colored
• 1:27:33
  red CE20 eights on this fucking thing.
• 1:27:35
  Yeah, and probably to most maybe not cool to me.
• 1:27:41
  Fucking shit. I'll admit it right now, I
• 1:27:43
  didn't like those wheels. Yeah, you bastard.
• 1:27:45
  I was trying. To be true, right, I think.
• 1:27:47
  Your car. Last time we came here it was on
• 1:27:48
  that setup I think. No, it was on the.
• 1:27:50
  LS LMS Because when I saw your car last time, I was like, whoa,
• 1:27:54
  it had the Chrome red vinyl on there.
• 1:27:56
  Yeah. So I saw those wheels and I was
• 1:27:57
  like, I don't like those wheels, but then I saw them on the car
• 1:27:59
  and everything. I'm like.
• 1:28:01
  The thing is is it's like it's not maybe contrast, but to me
• 1:28:04
  it's. It's it has to be complementary
• 1:28:06
  to each other. Yeah.
• 1:28:07
  So like right now, for example, you have a bit of a Gray wheel,
• 1:28:10
  but then there's silver on it and red and they all just work
• 1:28:13
  together. Yeah, like that's what it it has
• 1:28:16
  to work together. I don't know.
• 1:28:18
  But you can make it work. I don't know.
• 1:28:20
  Because the the I know what you're saying.
• 1:28:23
  Yeah, but maybe not. And this is nothing against our
• 1:28:30
  culture, the US drifting style, but the magic that I always
• 1:28:35
  noticed in Japan was to make the ugly shit look ill.
• 1:28:42
  Yeah. Wow.
• 1:28:43
  That's why I. I mean breaking.
• 1:28:46
  Breaking. That's why I had like, IKEA
• 1:28:50
  formula Arrow that shit straight full blown one of the ugliest
• 1:28:54
  180. EUR ever created be it is.
• 1:28:58
  It fucking is but but I think if you obsess enough about the
• 1:29:06
  image, I I mean, it's my car. I want to say I pulled it off
• 1:29:10
  because it's my car. Yeah, you did.
• 1:29:12
  But I can't imagine that arrow on a lot of people's cars
• 1:29:17
  because it's fucking ugly. Yeah, mega ugly.
• 1:29:20
  Yeah, now that you say that like it's name name 1180 Bumper,
• 1:29:26
  that's that's cut, long nose name one.
• 1:29:28
  I don't even think I liked. Works 9 now.
• 1:29:31
  No, I'll talk like long nose, like it's actually fucking
• 1:29:33
  extended further than your standard 180 bumper style.
• 1:29:37
  I don't even think I liked that, that fucking arrow on what it
• 1:29:41
  was called Gucci's car, right, initially.
• 1:29:43
  I don't even think I liked that. But then I saw it on your car
• 1:29:46
  and I was like, that shit's kind of sick.
• 1:29:47
  Well, it's because you made it work that way.
• 1:29:51
  It didn't. You didn't just you didn't well
• 1:29:53
  I mean it on there. We've been saying it a lot.
• 1:29:55
  But like, the term execution is a very, very important word for
• 1:29:59
  us. Like, yeah, that's everything.
• 1:30:01
  Yeah, because if it's not executed properly, it dude, it
• 1:30:05
  could be a fucking disaster, yeah?
• 1:30:07
  I think it's just a style aspect and the personality of that
• 1:30:10
  person. Here's another Here's another
• 1:30:11
  small example. There's a sticker on the top
• 1:30:13
  right of Josh's hatch and it's a picture.
• 1:30:16
  It's a sticker of the proceed sticker.
• 1:30:18
  But then. There's another sticker that's
• 1:30:21
  like crossed over it, like this sexy night.
• 1:30:24
  And that's a sexy night sticker. And I was like, what?
• 1:30:29
  Why would he stack with stickers like that?
• 1:30:31
  But it looks fucking sick. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:30:33
  But like, little little shit, yeah, it takes that little.
• 1:30:37
  There's that hard. That 10% is always the hardest.
• 1:30:40
  You know, there's the well one. I think it looks cool.
• 1:30:46
  Yeah, that's does. There's no reason for that's the
• 1:30:48
  important part. There's no reason for it to look
• 1:30:50
  cool to me, to stack a sticker, But that is me showing my
• 1:30:54
  respect to who I see as my above and my elders.
• 1:30:58
  Yeah, my senpai or whatever you want to call it.
• 1:31:01
  You know, like Tamoya and the Miura brothers and Yuki and
• 1:31:08
  those guys from sexy nights. Like those have been dude top
• 1:31:13
  for me style, because there's I've always just loved that
• 1:31:16
  shit. So having their sticker above
• 1:31:19
  mine is just my way to show that you guys are still there to me.
• 1:31:25
  Damn, I didn't even think about it like the other way around.
• 1:31:27
  I thought you were just like I don't think I want to put the
• 1:31:28
  sticker here. I don't think I've caught up.
• 1:31:30
  I don't think I'm at your level. You guys are fucking above and
• 1:31:34
  beyond at all at all points. Yeah, it's like showing respect,
• 1:31:36
  never going to be better than them.
• 1:31:38
  Like, I'm just like lucky enough to even 1 converse with them and
• 1:31:44
  let alone like be considered actual like friends and family
• 1:31:47
  with them now. So but that's why that sticker
• 1:31:50
  is that. But again, like you'd you'd look
• 1:31:52
  back at these videos and you would see, like you see a you
• 1:31:56
  know option two sticker. It's fucking crooked.
• 1:31:58
  Like, whoa, that makes no sense. But why does it look good?
• 1:32:06
  But I think it's This is why. This is my personal because I
• 1:32:10
  think it's because when you put a sticker on a car and it's not
• 1:32:13
  dead ass straight, she looks wax fuck like you don't know what
• 1:32:16
  you're doing, but if you just cock that shit sideways like Oh
• 1:32:19
  yeah, he meant to do. That, yeah, like my.
• 1:32:21
  One of my favorite things was always the sideways stickers on
• 1:32:23
  the bumpers of the rear of like, a 180.
• 1:32:26
  I can't think of any version of my car.
• 1:32:30
  I didn't. I feel like you always had that
• 1:32:32
  and and this goes back to my Type R, the S2000.
• 1:32:36
  Every. Every single one.
• 1:32:37
  You know how many? I think I've used every option
• 1:32:42
  sticker in the Unite in the world.
• 1:32:44
  I probably am. The reason?
• 1:32:45
  There's probably no more. I use them all.
• 1:32:47
  There's one. There's another one.
• 1:32:49
  There's one dude. Like I burned it off.
• 1:32:52
  I use them all. There's literally an example of
• 1:32:53
  what you're talking about. And it's always an option
• 1:32:55
  sticker, too. I always I I have to have one.
• 1:32:58
  I'm just salty. Like, I wasn't able to track one
• 1:33:00
  in my boxes upstairs, but I was like, yeah, I need my fucking
• 1:33:03
  option sticker. I need it where the fuck is?
• 1:33:05
  It you always feel like that, I may have used them all.
• 1:33:08
  I feel bad, yeah. I know, right?
• 1:33:09
  I feel bad too. Like I had an option sticker
• 1:33:11
  that I was going to do that with once and I always.
• 1:33:14
  I'm like, I don't know if I like to paint that much.
• 1:33:17
  Like, I always save it, you know?
• 1:33:19
  Sure I That's so funny. Man, that is.
• 1:33:22
  That's probably the thing you got to go through too, though.
• 1:33:24
  It's like, shit, do I got to going to use this?
• 1:33:27
  Yeah, like, am I going to regret putting the sticker on right
• 1:33:30
  now? Because I I don't know if I'm
• 1:33:31
  going to keep this part or whatnot, but do some of those
• 1:33:34
  stickers are so old that if you actually try to take it off the
• 1:33:37
  transit tape, you just fucking ruin it.
• 1:33:39
  Yeah, that's why I like when people talk.
• 1:33:40
  I learned I've like some of the Super old school shits.
• 1:33:43
  Like, no, that's staying in the album.
• 1:33:45
  Yeah, and then like, dude, there's so many ways that like,
• 1:33:47
  recreate now. And I don't even feel bad.
• 1:33:50
  I'm like if you're if you're just doing it for tip reserve
• 1:33:52
  something then. So I'm the same like I'll some
• 1:33:58
  guys that are sneaker heads will buy 2 pairs.
• 1:34:01
  Yeah, yeah, One to rock, one to. Keep Yeah, I'm not saying I can
• 1:34:06
  achieve that often with car stuff.
• 1:34:08
  And if I can, I will. Exactly.
• 1:34:10
  So like, you've got a, you've got custom color craft square
• 1:34:15
  because you custom color your mirror and you put a different
• 1:34:18
  sticker on it. Yeah.
• 1:34:19
  But I actually own authentic craft squares.
• 1:34:21
  Like yeah yeah, yeah. Authentic craft square stickers.
• 1:34:23
  Like it makes you feel better. It makes me feel better because
• 1:34:26
  like. I'm the same way, you know,
• 1:34:28
  there was a short while I I owned a G35 sedan.
• 1:34:32
  Just this is daily. OK.
• 1:34:33
  I was like, what the? It was clean as I was like, yo,
• 1:34:36
  man, it's a pretend mark two. So pretend 110 mark 2.
• 1:34:40
  So I was like, always sold myself.
• 1:34:41
  It was ugly, yeah. But I'm like, it's a mark.
• 1:34:43
  Two and then fucking it was a two 2006 or something like that.
• 1:34:50
  Or 2008 something like that. Yeah, the first body style, but
• 1:34:53
  like the cokie version of it, right?
• 1:34:55
  Yeah, yeah. And then CD players, dude,
• 1:34:58
  That's it. Yeah.
• 1:34:59
  And there was a there was this time frame of like 2 years and I
• 1:35:01
  was like, yo, I'm gonna just give back to the music and I'm
• 1:35:06
  fucking buying CD's, bro. That's it.
• 1:35:09
  No fucking Bluetooth. Nothing.
• 1:35:10
  I'm just buying fucking CD's. When was this around?
• 1:35:13
  Dude, this was just like maybe a few years back.
• 1:35:14
  Maybe. Four years did.
• 1:35:16
  I've probably been using CDs up until that point, right?
• 1:35:19
  Yeah. Four or five years ago I was
• 1:35:20
  like, fuck this. I'm not.
• 1:35:21
  I'm not connecting my fucking phone.
• 1:35:22
  Yeah, I'm not having Bluetooth. I'm just rocking CDs in this
• 1:35:25
  shit. Yeah.
• 1:35:27
  It's fun, dude. It's fun to do that.
• 1:35:28
  It's cool shit. Especially if you can make some
• 1:35:30
  mixed CD's. Yeah, it's fucking.
• 1:35:32
  Yeah. Mixed CD's.
• 1:35:32
  That's next. Level I got a Cindy Lauper tape
• 1:35:35
  in the Sequoia, man. Dude, sometimes I'll find like,
• 1:35:37
  my mixed CD's from high school and I'm like, so cool.
• 1:35:39
  Thank fucking God I got to experience this fucking like,
• 1:35:42
  you know what I mean? Yeah, it's it's gone.
• 1:35:43
  It's all gone now. But.
• 1:35:45
  CD's that I have in my car. I feel selfish to say that.
• 1:35:48
  I think we lived in those like that golden era of just.
• 1:35:53
  Life, yeah. And technology, at least
• 1:35:55
  American culture. Yeah yeah it was a good time,
• 1:35:57
  cuz like, dude, like how many year?
• 1:35:59
  How many your parents even kept Vhs's?
• 1:36:03
  Like, yeah, did they or did they toss them?
• 1:36:05
  Right now, no, that was. I was the one that was grabbing
• 1:36:07
  all of them when they were. I throw everything out, throw
• 1:36:10
  everything out. I'm like, you can't throw out
• 1:36:11
  The Lion King. The fucking I have we had all I
• 1:36:14
  saved all the Disney movies. I think we still.
• 1:36:16
  Yeah, I have a lot of them too, cuz I'm yeah.
• 1:36:20
  I mean, that's my childhood. Like I can't, yeah.
• 1:36:22
  So like yeah, I got a combination of VHS DVD and multi
• 1:36:26
  region DVD cuz the actual JDM ones you had to have a multi
• 1:36:30
  region player. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:36:31
  You couldn't play it on a standard us.
• 1:36:33
  DVD player Yeah, I remember how to set one of my DVD players up
• 1:36:35
  for. For for option videos.
• 1:36:38
  And shit. So yeah, because it's extracted
• 1:36:39
  and shit, right? Yeah, somehow.
• 1:36:40
  I guess I just bought one from Mitsuo like, oh OK, this is
• 1:36:43
  good. We had, we had a Mitsubishi VCR
• 1:36:45
  in my house. I kept that shit and now it's in
• 1:36:47
  my apartment just like, Oh yeah, I'm like, I barely use it, like,
• 1:36:51
  but I do have like, old movies that I've put in there.
• 1:36:53
  Yeah, it's, but now it's. It's to the point though now
• 1:36:57
  where like preserving is really important to me with that stuff.
• 1:37:01
  So like, I won't I won't put any of my Vhs's in anymore because I
• 1:37:06
  don't want to ruin it. It might literally ruin it.
• 1:37:09
  Like is there a 2023 VHS machine?
• 1:37:12
  I have no idea. I would, I would probably.
• 1:37:15
  Say no. I would have to go to my
• 1:37:16
  cousin's house because in his basement, if there is like,
• 1:37:19
  that'd be sick, yeah, to know that my tape's not going to get
• 1:37:21
  destroyed if I want to watch it. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:37:23
  Eat it up. That's why I kept that VCR,
• 1:37:25
  because I was like, I was like, I saw how everything was going.
• 1:37:28
  I mean, this was like 2016, Seventeen and I was like.
• 1:37:31
  I'm just gonna hold on to this. I know it's ridiculous.
• 1:37:33
  Everyone's like, what are you doing?
• 1:37:34
  I'm gonna, but I've got one of I've got two of the same Doritan
• 1:37:41
  volume with with kaguchi on it with the black car.
• 1:37:46
  I think that's one or. Two.
• 1:37:48
  That means you can play one. I could play one, but I I have
• 1:37:51
  one in the rapper dude, Yeah, they.
• 1:37:54
  You can't. You can't.
• 1:37:55
  That's that's the Michael Jordan you got.
• 1:37:57
  That's the Michael Jordan free throw dunk.
• 1:38:00
  Yeah, basketball card. That's like that's like dude.
• 1:38:05
  Like you hope your kid gets into.
• 1:38:07
  You got it. And then you give him that as a
• 1:38:08
  kid for that dude, like, but like, Shorty comes through here
• 1:38:12
  now he thinks fucking toy store. And like, and I'm just like, I
• 1:38:17
  don't know if you saw me when you guys were fucking around in
• 1:38:19
  here. I was like, fucking.
• 1:38:21
  All houses are fucking everywhere.
• 1:38:22
  Dude, Yeah. Where so like, oh, I put him
• 1:38:25
  back down over there just so I could play some back.
• 1:38:27
  But like, man, that kid, just when he comes here, it's like he
• 1:38:29
  feels like it's a toy. Yeah, but isn't that it's the
• 1:38:31
  coolest? That's fascination.
• 1:38:32
  It's it's awesome. Like there are there are Lego
• 1:38:37
  sets in here right now like there's a Lambo.
• 1:38:40
  I got fucking Voltron and shit. Like those are those are the
• 1:38:45
  like the items that I'm waiting when he gets older to grab into
• 1:38:49
  without me knowing, like hide. Because you know that's what
• 1:38:51
  boys do, right? Yeah.
• 1:38:53
  Boys are like sneak around like crawl under the bed trying to
• 1:38:56
  find some shit. Like those are the those are the
• 1:38:59
  like the the moments. Like I'm waiting for.
• 1:39:02
  How do you think you're going to react when you?
• 1:39:03
  No, that's that's what I'm waiting for.
• 1:39:05
  I want that to happen. Yeah, just to see, like, I want
• 1:39:08
  to walk in one day and just be like, oh shit, he finally
• 1:39:11
  fucking had the balls to open the Voltron box.
• 1:39:15
  You know, like, yeah, I mean, everybody knows, like, oh man,
• 1:39:18
  Like, don't touch his shit because, like, but, like, it's
• 1:39:22
  just because I'm preserving because, like, I want him to
• 1:39:24
  have that experience one day. What does it feel like to open
• 1:39:28
  something? What?
• 1:39:29
  Who knows, dude? What do you think cars are gonna
• 1:39:31
  be like? That doesn't say like like we
• 1:39:35
  open Amazon boxes almost on a daily basis.
• 1:39:39
  Am I right? Yep, right.
• 1:39:42
  You do, right. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:39:44
  But it's like it's so much now that like it's.
• 1:39:47
  Normal. I don't think the the feeling of
• 1:39:51
  having something new is maybe this, maybe it's because we're
• 1:39:53
  older, right? We've opened so many boxes.
• 1:39:55
  You're saying real shit right now.
• 1:39:57
  Now. Frankie's.
• 1:39:57
  Probably like dog. Yeah, when you fucking open the
• 1:40:01
  rapper on some shit, it's just. Like, yeah.
• 1:40:04
  And you still get it a little bit.
• 1:40:05
  Even with Amazon, you feel it? Yeah.
• 1:40:07
  Yeah. When you do it, Yeah.
• 1:40:07
  Yeah. Like you're like, why am I
• 1:40:09
  enjoying this? But it's not going to be like it
• 1:40:11
  was. But do like before Amazon.
• 1:40:13
  I've got like. I've got Mugen boxes.
• 1:40:17
  I got a. LSD oil box or C clutch box?
• 1:40:22
  Nismol box Yeah dude, I get it. I like the box thing.
• 1:40:25
  I do like the box. It's fucking stupid.
• 1:40:27
  I'll tell you why, cuz you like it's the visual.
• 1:40:30
  Thing. The visual, yeah, it's
• 1:40:31
  everything to me, man. Like, yeah, Why would you throw
• 1:40:34
  that away? Yeah.
• 1:40:36
  And some people just rip that shit open.
• 1:40:38
  And that's fucking. It's like.
• 1:40:41
  It's like Filipinos keeping the sauce packet.
• 1:40:43
  Nah, dude, stop. I know you got a drawer in there
• 1:40:47
  with you or a zip lock bag filled with us.
• 1:40:48
  I mean, what I used to do was like, me, I felt the same way
• 1:40:52
  you did about the boxes and shit, but being like selling
• 1:40:55
  parts and whatnot, we would get so many that I would be like,
• 1:40:58
  I'm not keeping those boxes like it.
• 1:40:59
  It would be insane. Yeah, it's insane.
• 1:41:01
  So what I would do is I'd like, I'd like see what I like.
• 1:41:04
  This is back when I was like, in my house, still in the garage.
• 1:41:07
  And I would just like, open it up and I would use it as a, you
• 1:41:10
  know, work under your car with it.
• 1:41:11
  Yeah, for sure. That way, like you still see it.
• 1:41:13
  Yeah, yeah, you know, And then eventually it'll get worn out
• 1:41:16
  and you get the you get another one.
• 1:41:17
  I have in my storage. I have you know, an exhaust box
• 1:41:22
  is big. Yeah.
• 1:41:23
  I have a I have an original RSR box for my for my Type R
• 1:41:30
  exhaust. I still have the RSR fucking.
• 1:41:33
  Cardboards, yeah, yeah. That's what we RSR exhaust for.
• 1:41:36
  It's a it was a DC two different DC2OK.
• 1:41:38
  I had an RSR exhaust on my GSR. Yeah and it was the weirdest
• 1:41:42
  exhaust because it mount it the routing of the pipe was through
• 1:41:48
  under the middle of the subframe like or sway bar.
• 1:41:51
  It was yeah right by the IT wasn't the over the control arm.
• 1:41:55
  Yeah it was the weirdest exhaust ever.
• 1:41:56
  I think I bought it, was the first thing I bought off the
• 1:41:58
  form ever. It was like, super and this is.
• 1:42:02
  I don't know if there's any truth to this, if there was some
• 1:42:04
  sort of connection between RSR and NVIDIA back then, or if
• 1:42:08
  NVIDIA just copied the design, that sounds more real.
• 1:42:11
  RSR exhausted that time, But I remember I was like, fuck, no,
• 1:42:15
  man. It's like, gotta go RSR.
• 1:42:17
  Yeah, you have to, Yeah. I think the box thing, the
• 1:42:20
  unboxing thing, is huge. It's a real yeah, it's a real
• 1:42:24
  thing. For me, it's like I'm trying to
• 1:42:26
  think of something I bought recently.
• 1:42:29
  And I'm like go buy even just holding it, I'm like bro or or
• 1:42:33
  or. I see that it's home.
• 1:42:35
  I know it's home. And I'll like you know what I'm
• 1:42:36
  let me just wait until I get home later.
• 1:42:38
  Just go. To go buy another Cyndi Lauper
• 1:42:41
  tape or. CD.
• 1:42:43
  Yeah. You'll you will have that like
• 1:42:46
  yeah. You open the plastic is wrapped
• 1:42:48
  a certain way. Yeah.
• 1:42:49
  And then it's got the the the strip of tape to keep the cover
• 1:42:53
  clothes and. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:42:55
  You could never fucking get off of 1 pole.
• 1:42:56
  I'll always look at the manual or the little pamphlet too,
• 1:42:59
  that'll have the lyrics. It'll have the tracks to all the
• 1:43:02
  information. And it does that suck for for
• 1:43:05
  people these days, man. All they do is go, they go on
• 1:43:07
  Spotify. I mean, it doesn't suck because
• 1:43:09
  they don't know. They don't know, Yeah.
• 1:43:11
  Like why would the we think it sucks for them?
• 1:43:14
  We think it sucks, but like that's selfish of us because
• 1:43:17
  they that's not. They didn't grow out of that.
• 1:43:20
  It's just not a thing. It's just not a thing, you know?
• 1:43:22
  And they have access to way more music.
• 1:43:24
  Than we do. If these cats saw a fucking
• 1:43:26
  Blu-ray. You know what a Blu-ray DVD is?
• 1:43:30

• 1:44:40
  good call because they never got that, but we got DVD's.

• 1:45:21
  Yeah hey it is what it is, right?
• 1:45:22
  That's life yeah for sure. But I knew like I would always
• 1:45:25
  go to this this mall to go play Ridge Racer in the arcade.
• 1:45:29
  This is pre PlayStation actually alright.
• 1:45:32
  So that finally PlayStation releases it.

  You can rent a PlayStation. Shit you could.
• 1:45:40
  Guys, remember I didn't know that.
• 1:45:42
  I remember renting video games, yeah.

  You could rent a whole gaming system that's back too.
• 1:45:48
  So I would rent a PlayStation. Rent fucking Ridge Racer.
• 1:45:52
  I do remember that. Yeah, you could.
• 1:45:54
  Dude, our supermarket grocery stores back in the day.
• 1:45:58
  You could. You could rent video games from
• 1:46:00
  there too. Before.
• 1:46:01
  Ohh wow, you didn't have that. What's your common grocery store
• 1:46:05

  Pathmark, dude. There used to be Pathmark.
• 1:46:12
  That was the one, Yeah. ShopRite is a common.
• 1:46:14
  One So, like, we had like a place called Dominic's
• 1:46:17
  equivalent to like a a jewel or a Do you guys have Meijer?
• 1:46:21
  No, Meijer isn't. But I do know that what that is.

  Yeah, Meijer, that one. Yeah, so like equivalent.
• 1:46:27
  Actually, Meijer's pretty pretty big.
• 1:46:30
  Meijer would be like a grocery store.
• 1:46:31
  Yeah, so just period a grocery store that you would see.
• 1:46:33
  They used to rent movies and games.
• 1:46:37
  So, like, when my parents couldn't afford a game, just
• 1:46:41
  like, yo, we'll just rent it for you guys for a couple days,
• 1:46:44
  which is honestly, it's. Better, dude, it just makes
• 1:46:46
  sense cuz I wasn't gonna beat the game anyways.
• 1:46:48
  Yeah, like we all give up on the video game.
• 1:46:51
  I think I beat one game my whole life.
• 1:46:53
  Yeah, Racer. I've never beat a Pokémon game
• 1:46:55
  ever. I probably beat one game in my
• 1:46:56
  life too. I think Super Mario 2 I beat, I
• 1:47:01
  think that's it. But which goes back to me
• 1:47:04
  simulator. It's not for.
• 1:47:06
  It'll be a dead end for you. I feel the same way.
• 1:47:08
  I know it's not a video game, but that's just the way that I
• 1:47:11
  relate to it. It's a video game, yeah.
• 1:47:13
  Yeah. Man.
• 1:47:14
  Damn. Well, we talked a lot about
• 1:47:16
  cars. I'm.
• 1:47:18
  Just kidding. This is like, amazing.
• 1:47:20
  But it's, it's, it's, it's just the change of, like again, I
• 1:47:24
  mentioned it way in the beginning, but you really have
• 1:47:27
  been through the evolution of the entire import car scene,
• 1:47:31
  yeah. As well as some other people
• 1:47:34
  that we've met through here and they everyone has their own
• 1:47:38
  different memories to share. Like how?
• 1:47:41
  Like different pieces. Of it.
• 1:47:43
  When did you? Get into drifting or you asked
• 1:47:46
  me something before we actually started and we're talking about
• 1:47:48
  hot and poor nights and B boying.
• 1:47:50
  Yeah, so like when you guys go to a final bout.
• 1:47:55
  Yeah, right. You guys go to final bout, Okay.
• 1:47:58
  So if this was me back in my day, like, okay, we're gonna go
• 1:48:02
  to final bout. Like you bring in a helmet.
• 1:48:06
  Yeah, I'm talking about bringing a helmet for fucking writing.
• 1:48:08
  I'm talking about. Bring a helmet so you could do
• 1:48:10
  fucking head spins like like yo like.
• 1:48:16
  Makes the culture. Hot import nights and import
• 1:48:18
  revolution. I'm pretty sure it was like this
• 1:48:21
  US wide, but like that was that was a place for you to showcase
• 1:48:27
  your abilities in different talents.
• 1:48:30
  So like if you had a fresh car, yeah show your car right.
• 1:48:34
  You had a got hot girlfriend, you know, letter model for the
• 1:48:36
  ride you could DJ. You can get a set if you were,
• 1:48:43
  if you were Asian singing crew sing, And if you're a fucking B
• 1:48:49
  boy crew go fucking battle. So, like when you rolled up into
• 1:48:52
  a hot, important night, you came down the fucking escalator like
• 1:48:55
  you was ready to go do some shit.
• 1:48:58
  We caught the I caught the tail end of that hot important.
• 1:49:00
  You'll do the best thing. And I'm married, Okay, I'm
• 1:49:03
  married, I'm married. But I'm just saying like yo,
• 1:49:04
  like our car events. Those places where you try to
• 1:49:08
  holler at girls these days? Or is that or is?
• 1:49:11
  Oh, you are? No, you're you're getting no
• 1:49:12
  girls over. Here or is that part of life
• 1:49:14
  that doesn't exist? And it does not exist anymore.
• 1:49:17
  It's technology it. I think it's just because of
• 1:49:20
  the. Reputation that I never tender
• 1:49:22
  like I've been with my girl for a long time.
• 1:49:25
  And it sounds like it's it's that without that you are
• 1:49:28
  blessed dude, because it seems like you have somebody that
• 1:49:31
  supports. Are you?
• 1:49:34
  You guys have a pretty good young.
• 1:49:36
  The following generation, yeah. So there was just so much to who
• 1:49:43
  you wanted to be when you would attend an event, you know?
• 1:49:48
  And again, it's just like this ability to have this space and
• 1:49:53
  time that you were like, this is the time.
• 1:49:57
  Like I got to be able to fucking represent myself.
• 1:50:00
  Like, like I said, like, oh, you're going to fucking do the
• 1:50:03
  six set. You're going to.
• 1:50:04
  Your vocals are on fire. You got new wheels or like, yo,
• 1:50:08
  I'm dude, I'm fucking doing the best air flares I've ever done
• 1:50:13
  in my whole life. I'm doing it fucking tonight at
• 1:50:15
  high before night. It's like that was the shit back
• 1:50:18
  then, man. Or again, like, yo, like, I know
• 1:50:20
  this girl's going to the show and she's modeling for that
• 1:50:23
  crew. I'm fucking hollering at her
• 1:50:25
  tonight. Yeah.
• 1:50:27
  Man like that is that is something that doesn't.
• 1:50:29
  Eat dude if I don't. Think it does.
• 1:50:32
  Like going to high school homecoming Jeep.
• 1:50:35
  Look, then there's cars. Yeah, they had a hot import
• 1:50:38
  nights. I went to 1/2, it was like 2010
• 1:50:41
  or 11 or something and it was at Raceway Park.
• 1:50:44
  That's so cool, dude. And I was like, I I had the Mini
• 1:50:48
  Cooper, right? So it was all like, done.
• 1:50:50
  I got right? Yeah, I had the.
• 1:50:51
  Mini Cooper, this is before. This is, I was Frankie's first
• 1:50:54
  car. I might have owned an S14, but I
• 1:50:56
  literally just got it and it was probably torn down.
• 1:50:59
  So I had like my first car. This is at the stage where,
• 1:51:02
  like, it's already done. It's cool.
• 1:51:03
  Whatever. I bring it to hot import nights.
• 1:51:06
  It's in the show, right? But then like you're saying like
• 1:51:08
  you can just walk around like and they they were drifting like
• 1:51:12
  my now, my friends. But before they were like the
• 1:51:16
  people I didn't really know that well.
• 1:51:18
  Like they were at the track at Raceway Park putting on like a
• 1:51:22
  demo, kind of, you know, I did. One of those that's sick, Yeah.
• 1:51:25
  So then we go over there like, we literally like, that was a
• 1:51:28
  turning. That was a massive turning
• 1:51:29
  point. So it's funny you bring up hot
• 1:51:30
  import nights, but like. You have to like, I brought my
• 1:51:33
  car there for that. But then I was like, we
• 1:51:35
  literally didn't even stay by my car.
• 1:51:39
  Like we literally left, never came back till we were leaving
• 1:51:42
  because I walked over there, we saw drifting and we just fucking
• 1:51:44
  sat there and we were like. What I did a couple car shows
• 1:51:48
  back then with like my own car, like I I think, I I think I
• 1:51:52
  entered the Type R once. I I know I entered the S2000
• 1:51:54
  once, but we were just these. We were just these weird dudes
• 1:51:59
  that were like heavily in the JDM and like people wanted us to
• 1:52:03
  bring the cars, but we didn't care to be there with the cars
• 1:52:05
  because we always were like, yo, fuck this, let's just go run the
• 1:52:08
  highways. But then we would do just to
• 1:52:10
  participate because like, yo, it's in our town.
• 1:52:12
  Yeah, we might as well show the car if we can, but same thing we
• 1:52:15
  I remember like even till this. Not till this day because we
• 1:52:19
  haven't done it in a few years, but like even week fast and shit
• 1:52:22
  like we parked them bitches out. Fucking around, yeah, yeah.
• 1:52:25
  Trying to figure out what else some other shit to do, because
• 1:52:27
  that's one of those events where, like, you parked the car,
• 1:52:29
  you're stuck. And you're stuck, yeah.
• 1:52:31
  Right. You're right, so.
• 1:52:32
  Shit, no, it's got a car outside, yeah.
• 1:52:35
  I do like those events where they mix the culture like that.
• 1:52:39
  Oh my God bro. It's because.
• 1:52:40
  You know why? You know why?
• 1:52:41
  Because sometimes that will introduce people to that stuff
• 1:52:48
  in a way like. I'm trying to think of an
• 1:52:50
  example where that happened to me because I feel like I didn't
• 1:52:53
  really. Flipsco Justin Yeah, our our
• 1:52:57
  buddy runs. I know that I've heard the name.
• 1:52:59
  Yeah, you would like that. You're Filipino.
• 1:53:00
  You gotta I've. Heard the name?
• 1:53:01
  I'm just kidding. You got a tundra or something?
• 1:53:03
  Right, yes. Right.
• 1:53:04
  What the fuck? Out of all things I always say,
• 1:53:07
  I always say Carl's the same. You and Justin are the same.
• 1:53:10
  Fuck you. Very similar people.
• 1:53:11
  Justin's more handsome than I. Also a little taller, but the
• 1:53:16
  the thing that Flipsco was he was into.
• 1:53:20
  He was in A, like, yeah, he was in a B boy into BMX.
• 1:53:23
  Actually, Justin was really into B boying into BMX.
• 1:53:26
  Then he mixed it. Yeah, all together, yeah.
• 1:53:30
  And then when they would have events and stuff and it would,
• 1:53:33
  it would highlight the fact it was kind of like that's what I
• 1:53:36
  that's what I'm kind of relating hot import nights to in my life.
• 1:53:40
  Justin definitely got inspiration.
• 1:53:41
  Because of that stuff, it was like that, yeah.
• 1:53:43
  And like, I didn't know that that was, it was like a
• 1:53:45
  lifestyle brand. Yeah, that's what he was doing.
• 1:53:47
  I guess that's the right way to put it because, like, that's
• 1:53:49
  what that shit turned. Into like yeah, like Grid Life
• 1:53:51
  is a great example. Like to a great party, man.
• 1:53:55
  Holy crap, they got everything. So grid life is like the the
• 1:53:58
  event that we is the same thing basically.
• 1:54:01
  Sure. Yeah, that would be.
• 1:54:02
  Well, no. I think like a There's another
• 1:54:04
  one, though. There's another one.
• 1:54:05
  Hyperfest. I've never been to.
• 1:54:07
  Party. Party.
• 1:54:08
  I've heard so many good things about Hyperfest, but yeah, I've
• 1:54:11
  never been. I I see it and I'm like but at
• 1:54:13
  the same time. It's not what I think of when I
• 1:54:16
  think of like. Import It's probably cuz I'm
• 1:54:18
  older cuz you're not gonna even if one popped off.
• 1:54:22
  Like you're not gonna catch my old ass in the circle anymore.
• 1:54:26
  No, no, no, no, no. Or just like waiting for like yo
• 1:54:28
  man. Well, I want to see somebody
• 1:54:30
  scratch or something. Like like, fuck, are they going
• 1:54:32
  to drop the far side song so I can go out?
• 1:54:36
  Somebody tells you to fucking spin far side so I can go
• 1:54:38
  fucking do my session real quick, Please, Right.
• 1:54:41
  Like, you know, like someone put I would love to see that shit,
• 1:54:44
  right? I don't think it's when is.
• 1:54:47
  Intergalactic Beastie Boys going to hit.
• 1:54:50
  It has to hit. Otherwise, I'm not going into
• 1:54:52
  the circle like, it's just like, and that whole dance thing,
• 1:54:54
  like, I didn't know anything about that, obviously.
• 1:54:56
  But then the way I learned about that was actually through you
• 1:54:59
  guys out here. Like, I would see what you're
• 1:55:01
  doing with that stuff. And then I was like, oh, they
• 1:55:03
  dance and shit too. Like what is this like?
• 1:55:06
  I don't know if I dance that final, but I don't think I.
• 1:55:08
  No, no, no. This is before that.
• 1:55:09
  This is before we even met you. Oh, like I'm talking like
• 1:55:12
  through the Internet. Oh, the Internet's.
• 1:55:13
  Wild. Yeah, There was a dude there.
• 1:55:18
  I have to say though, like as as much as like, I keep
• 1:55:21
  highlighting the the these challenges that the internet's
• 1:55:24
  arising for like, our people and shit.
• 1:55:27
  Man, bro, there's so much that I wouldn't have never been able to
• 1:55:31
  do or get or meet 100% dog. We wouldn't be here right now.
• 1:55:34
  There's. No way.
• 1:55:36
  No shot. Well, I wouldn't say there's no
• 1:55:38
  way, because I'll at least put this out there.
• 1:55:40
  Like I actually went and traveled to go see drifting.
• 1:55:44
  Yeah, I went to D1 in California.
• 1:55:46
  I went to go see Super GT live. And like, I wanted to get as
• 1:55:52
  much drifting exposure with the Japanese as I could if they ever
• 1:55:54
  came. But.
• 1:55:57
  But she had me only. Oh again, I don't know where the
• 1:56:00
  fuck I'm going with. Well, that's that's a lot easier
• 1:56:02
  with the. The Internet.
• 1:56:05
  Wow. It's so much now.
• 1:56:06
  I overheard that hearing about drift events.
• 1:56:09
  You'd have to get a flyer. Oh, he had to.
• 1:56:11
  Be a part of a blog, Derek King was telling us.
• 1:56:14
  He's like, dude, I remember like, he's like, I don't even
• 1:56:16
  know how I found out about this shit.
• 1:56:18
  And then he started talking about like.
• 1:56:19
  Zip tide or something, or, well, yeah, but even before that he's
• 1:56:22
  like, he's like and he's like, yeah, there'd be like Flyers,
• 1:56:24
  like it was a punk rock show or something like for for certain
• 1:56:27
  track days. Yeah, drift event on Friday.
• 1:56:29
  Yeah, that is pretty cool. That's wild.
• 1:56:31
  That is pretty cool. It's like you had to know or be
• 1:56:34
  a part. Of it, yeah.
• 1:56:35
  Well, how could you? Yeah, you had to know because
• 1:56:37
  the shit was underground. That's why Drifting was fucking
• 1:56:38
  Brad. Do you think that since back
• 1:56:42
  then you kind of had to put some effort to be a part of it?
• 1:56:46
  That now, since it's so accessible, that's why you kind
• 1:56:50
  of have sometimes a bad seed amongst a bunch.
• 1:56:52
  Yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm definitely don't want to spend
• 1:56:54
  time on that cuz like, I can go on forever because again, like
• 1:56:58
  this space that I have is an expression of how much effort it
• 1:57:01
  took me to even just be able to get to you, to be able to talk
• 1:57:06
  to some of my favorite Jay. Like the effort is a lot for me.
• 1:57:11
  Yeah, you know, like, you know when you're a teenager and
• 1:57:14
  you're spending. $32 of VHS in your teenage?
• 1:57:22
  Is that how much a tape was? I mean, that's Japanese import,
• 1:57:25
  dude. There's no way to get that shit
• 1:57:27
  here cheap. And it got to the point where I
• 1:57:30
  finally learned, like after a year of trying to collect my
• 1:57:34
  Doritans and video option, that they're like, oh hey man, you
• 1:57:39
  know, you don't have to come here every time.
• 1:57:41
  You could just set up a video subscription and magazine
• 1:57:44
  subscription, yeah. I was like, oh shit.
• 1:57:48
  But still, it's not like it gave you like, a big break.
• 1:57:51
  You know you have to pay for it. When you're in high school, you
• 1:57:53
  spend $32. Like you're not even taking out
• 1:57:55
  your girlfriend for $32. Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:57:58
  So like, yeah, the effort was serious for me.
• 1:58:00
  Like, I guess to put it into perspective, right, guys, let's
• 1:58:05
  say you wanted to watch. Let's say you wanted to watch
• 1:58:09
  Faction drift at. One of your drift days, right?
• 1:58:16
  Imagine telling a kid that they had to spend $32 on a VHS tape
• 1:58:20
  to see you guys drift one round of whatever event that you had
• 1:58:24
  that year. Just imagine that.
• 1:58:27
  But now you could go on social media and watch a 62nd clip.
• 1:58:30
  And just get full cover free. And you saw not only faction,
• 1:58:34
  you saw fucking motherfucking everybody, you know what I mean?
• 1:58:37
  It is not all boss sounds. There blood masters, there
• 1:58:40
  factions, there defactions, but everybody's there.
• 1:58:44
  Imagine dude telling a kid that like you every time you crack
• 1:58:46
  your phone open to you? 32 bucks.
• 1:58:48
  But now I feel like it's a crazy.
• 1:58:50
  I never thought about it till right now.
• 1:58:52
  Me either. I feel, I feel like, but OK, I
• 1:58:54
  will put into perspective now too with the rising like
• 1:58:57
  popularity of obviously retro stuff.
• 1:59:00
  Sure. I guess not to call your stuff
• 1:59:02
  retro now. But dude, yes.
• 1:59:04
  It kind of is, and we were talking about laser disks.
• 1:59:07
  And the rise and I feel like the since the availability of that
• 1:59:11
  is so high. I think that since people are
• 1:59:15
  trying to do and are involved in retro stuff and in that spirit,
• 1:59:21
  the rise of tangible media is just as high again.
• 1:59:26
  You have any times in a way you don't have any times I'll hear
• 1:59:29
  or or catch win that somebody's making like a magazine again and
• 1:59:33
  they're going to do it like once a month.
• 1:59:34
  You know, I hear that, but I. Never or Yeah, I know.
• 1:59:36
  And it takes a lot of, because it takes a lot of effort, money,
• 1:59:39
  effort, a lot of people involved, like we were going to
• 1:59:42
  try to do that ourselves. That's a lot of heads.
• 1:59:44
  It never took off because of amount of organizing.
• 1:59:48
  And it will take a lot of effort.
• 1:59:49
  And there's A and The thing is, is when people see that tangible
• 1:59:53
  media, now that that that flyer, that poster, that magazine,
• 1:59:57
  those the club loose posters, yeah, that's a good.
• 2:00:00
  Example. That's a great example.
• 2:00:02
  They fucking fly because it's something that.
• 2:00:04
  Like, we just buy them immediately.
• 2:00:05
  It's something that doesn't. We got to get that.
• 2:00:07
  Like, since there's so much of this, you almost want more of
• 2:00:10
  that. Yeah, now.
• 2:00:12
  And it's. And it's so refreshing.
• 2:00:15
  Sometimes stuck on that bro dude, I I think you're.
• 2:00:18
  I think you're going to be happy because now I hope more people
• 2:00:21
  make that stuff. Because I, you know, I don't
• 2:00:24
  want to sound like I'm upset. A lot of the media stuff and the
• 2:00:28
  what they call refresh pages and shit, but like why do you guys
• 2:00:35
  get all these videos and magazines to OK?
• 2:00:40
  Sharing information is the most priceless thing you can do as a
• 2:00:45
  human right. And and even I have a lot of
• 2:00:48
  selfishness that, like, I haven't shared.
• 2:00:50
  Because like, sometimes you keep it personal to you, right?
• 2:00:53
  But like, I never understood why people go on.
• 2:00:56
  Maybe it's like car collecting. They go on this hunt to find a
• 2:01:01
  Doritan one and they rip it. You know, they rip it.
• 2:01:05
  They post it. Oh, oh, oh, like they they
• 2:01:07
  there's a lot of those. They digitize it.
• 2:01:09
  Yeah, they digitize it, right? Whatever.
• 2:01:11
  Burn it. I don't know what the fuck the
• 2:01:12
  word is. Yeah, right.
• 2:01:13
  And then RIP is a. Crazy old RIP DVD RIP yo, what
• 2:01:19
  the? And then they.
• 2:01:20
  Fucking then they sell the VHS tape.
• 2:01:24
  Oh, sell it or just. Or or toss it or.
• 2:01:28
  Sell it. Oh, yeah.
• 2:01:28
  Yeah, you're right. You're right.
• 2:01:30
  Oh, like they got it already. So let me they.
• 2:01:31
  They got it. They they rip it like I was
• 2:01:34
  saying, they post it, then you know they sell it a month later
• 2:01:37
  than they sell the the the VHS or the magazine or the DVD.
• 2:01:41
  They whatever they that sucks. I don't know if that sucks.
• 2:01:45
  Yeah, I don't know either. I don't know if that sucks.
• 2:01:47
  Well, I but I just don't. It makes you feel weird though.
• 2:01:50
  It makes me feel like it makes me feel wrong that they're
• 2:01:53
  almost kind of profit, not really profiting.
• 2:01:57
  They could. What do you mean?
• 2:01:58
  Not really. Yeah, some of them are you.
• 2:02:00
  You think they are. They can, yeah, because there's
• 2:02:02
  there's pages on Instagram with like 100,000.
• 2:02:05
  If you if you buy an option to magazine, you get it.
• 2:02:11
  You sell the option to magazine, but then you take the option to
• 2:02:14
  sticker from that magazine that you sell that separate from the
• 2:02:17
  magazine. Yeah.
• 2:02:19
  Is that how you got an option sticker?
• 2:02:21
  No, I was out of a magazine. Yeah, Gee, yeah, that's I'm.
• 2:02:26
  I'm passed well beyond that. I think the only magazines that
• 2:02:29
  were like modified. Man, you know you get magazines.
• 2:02:31
  You would some additions that they would have special editions
• 2:02:34
  was then they'd have standard option two or option video
• 2:02:37
  magazines. Some would have like special
• 2:02:40
  spreads. Some of the VHS tapes would have
• 2:02:43
  stickers and spreads inside them like fuck that RX had.
• 2:02:46
  Oh well, maybe that's why there's not the connection
• 2:02:48
  there. Yeah.
• 2:02:50
  It's like fucking. It's like buying.
• 2:02:53
  Captain Crunch for the toy. Pour all the fucking cereal out,
• 2:02:57
  Get the toy. That's.
• 2:02:59
  Exactly what it is. Maybe that's what it is.
• 2:03:01
  What an analogy it's. Exactly what it.
• 2:03:04
  Is Oh my God, it's it's yeah, cuz now I hear that and I'm
• 2:03:09
  like, fuck that option sticker on the back of that RX was
• 2:03:12
  probably out of a magazine. And I feel like most of the
• 2:03:14
  people that are doing that stuff, I'll just use Instagram
• 2:03:17
  as an example I think where that is most of them.
• 2:03:21
  It's a generalization, but most of them are probably not from
• 2:03:25
  your era, even mine. I mean, I was a tail end of
• 2:03:29
  that. But you know what I mean?
• 2:03:30
  Like, maybe they're not from that and they don't view it the
• 2:03:33
  same way. They're just like.
• 2:03:34
  Right, That's why, I said. I don't know if that's a bad
• 2:03:36
  thing. I don't want to claim it as a
• 2:03:37
  bad thing for me. It's like you don't want it.
• 2:03:41
  Yeah. But I guess, Oh, you'd like the
• 2:03:44
  tape. You don't want to.
• 2:03:45
  You don't. Want it?
• 2:03:46
  Yeah. But then I guess if you're in a
• 2:03:48
  digital life. It's I do have it.
• 2:03:52
  It's right here. Broke.
• 2:03:53
  Yeah, yeah, but. But.
• 2:03:54
  Me, I'm like, if I opened up all my boxes and shit, I'd probably
• 2:03:59
  if I spread them out, I'd probably have three of those
• 2:04:02
  stuff, the bookshelf. Yeah, bookshelf.
• 2:04:03
  I probably at least have 3 bookshelves worth of Just shit
• 2:04:06
  magazines and DVD's and VHS tapes.
• 2:04:08
  So the the Instagram thing, I do know a bunch of those accounts
• 2:04:12
  and I follow them because I feel like the intention of that
• 2:04:16
  person, It's not Mal intent, no, no.
• 2:04:19
  They want to spread. Intentions are good, yeah.
• 2:04:22
  They want to spread the info they want to.
• 2:04:24
  They want to share what they have with everyone else.
• 2:04:27
  And I love that part of it. In fact, some people will go out
• 2:04:30
  of their way to make English Subs for it, so now I can even
• 2:04:34
  understand what they're saying. Oh, I I really respect that.
• 2:04:38
  Like that's that that that takes that takes a different kind of
• 2:04:44
  effort for me. And and yeah, most.
• 2:04:47
  I'm gonna name it right here just because I love his videos
• 2:04:49
  but it's it's understeer. Can go check him out if you
• 2:04:50
  wanna go see any 90s stuff on YouTube.
• 2:04:52
  Adam shits the fire, though. But like, that is just you.
• 2:04:56
  You, you, you captioned it for people.
• 2:04:58
  Yeah, so that other people can enjoy it.
• 2:05:01
  Yeah, that's a different level. Adam's great.
• 2:05:06
  Yeah. Again, it's like, sorry, I just.
• 2:05:10
  I just. Love this stuff.
• 2:05:12
  Yeah, you're like, how could you get rid of it?
• 2:05:13
  Yeah, it's. The same thing I think you
• 2:05:15
  could. Never take.
• 2:05:15
  I could never take a picture of my car and be like, yeah, I had
• 2:05:19
  that. Yeah.
• 2:05:20
  And then that's it. If you could just put your car
• 2:05:24
  in a box and keep it, yeah. Right, Yeah.
• 2:05:26
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:05:28
  Here's my box. Dude, did you want?
• 2:05:31
  To Yeah, we're going to talk some questions.
• 2:05:33
  Yeah, because we, we did post questions.
• 2:05:35
  I don't care. We could rent a little.
• 2:05:36
  We could go get our own casserole later.
• 2:05:39
  Like, it was a good, it's good conversation and I'm probably
• 2:05:41
  going to have. Another one.
• 2:05:41
  I got it this past 12. So we're going to just is it?
• 2:05:44
  Yeah, I'm cool. It's up to you.
• 2:05:46
  I'm cool. Y'all want to roll?
• 2:05:47
  We could roll. We're just going to bend through
• 2:05:48
  a couple and then we'll get out of here because we're going out,
• 2:05:51
  dude, honestly. But before we get onto the
• 2:05:53
  questions, I want to say like a lot of that conversation just
• 2:05:56
  now, I want to personally say thank you because it's nice to
• 2:06:02
  hear from somebody else who can share the same and relate to
• 2:06:08
  like that culture that I was growing up in.
• 2:06:10
  And then you're into this and I see like, Oh my God, it's not
• 2:06:14
  just, it's not going to be just what I think it's going to be
• 2:06:18
  sure you never know where it can go.
• 2:06:20
  So I really appreciate that. Yeah man.
• 2:06:24
  But you know, at the end of the day, bro, it's like.
• 2:06:29
  Did my parents do wrong? No.
• 2:06:32
  Look at you. Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying I'm
• 2:06:34
  doing right, but like, they raised a good guy.
• 2:06:38
  Man, I get. I get more than a few smiles in
• 2:06:41
  a day, like I'm really lucky. Yeah.
• 2:06:44
  Or I'm not lucky and my parents, they just fucking figured out
• 2:06:48
  the heck of how to make their kids, like, do some shit
• 2:06:52
  something right. I mean, I'm sure they look at
• 2:06:54
  you and they. Like they look at each other and
• 2:06:57
  go, yeah, we we did it right. You know, I'm hoping one day
• 2:07:00
  that. They look at bracket like yeah.
• 2:07:02
  There you go. That too.
• 2:07:04
  There it is. Yeah.
• 2:07:05
  Finally. Fucking head.
• 2:07:07
  All right, so we got a bunch of Cokie Kev.
• 2:07:09
  So many questions from him. I think he's a big fan.
• 2:07:13
  Where did this? Where did this come?
• 2:07:14
  From SO we posted this on Instagram or I had Malcolm post
• 2:07:17
  it when we're on the way here. Fucking that.
• 2:07:19
  Obviously I wasn't. Looking No, it's fine.
• 2:07:21
  So it's not. Don't worry.
• 2:07:22
  It's not for you. This is what we, you know, we we
• 2:07:25
  surprise everyone with this. So Cokie Kev has a lot of
• 2:07:29
  questions. I'm going to pick out a couple
• 2:07:31
  since we're just running a little late Text.
• 2:07:33
  Kevin. Yeah.
• 2:07:36
  When? When creating a new car.
• 2:07:38
  When creating a new look for your car.
• 2:07:40
  Where do you look for inspiration?
• 2:07:41
  I think we kind of went on a pretty big rant about this, but.
• 2:07:45
  Yeah. We do.
• 2:07:47
  I guess it just it's kind of like what where I'm at really
• 2:07:52
  this one was rough because I had been so attached to the IQ
• 2:07:56
  formula car. It it really took me a lot of
• 2:08:00
  effort to go like alright what's the next And M Sports was kind
• 2:08:05
  of this one in between kit that was like you know my love for
• 2:08:09
  sexy style and my love for IQ formula are are at a tie.
• 2:08:13
  Yeah, what's the middle? That's just aggressive enough
• 2:08:16
  That looks like a drift arrow kit, but I could still like,
• 2:08:20
  floss it like it's a little GT ish.
• 2:08:22
  Yeah, yeah. And this is kind of the one that
• 2:08:24
  I was able to put together my head.
• 2:08:26
  That is 1 aspect of your car styling that has changed over
• 2:08:29
  the years. It's more GT type now, which is
• 2:08:33
  I fucking love it you. Do a good.
• 2:08:34
  Job, Yeah, but you got to do a good job of them.
• 2:08:37
  Like mixing the GT aspect into the.
• 2:08:40
  Street style look, you know, it's it's a hard thing to do,
• 2:08:43
  dude. Gt's got a lot of rawness to it
• 2:08:46
  with the materials, and then D styles got a lot of cleanliness.
• 2:08:51
  So it's like when you paint the carbon bits and shit, like if
• 2:08:56
  you can accent it like that, people have a hard time
• 2:08:59
  identifying. Let me what the fuck?
• 2:09:01
  Yeah, the guy's got full GT shit on his car.
• 2:09:03
  Looks like a drift car, though. Kind of.
• 2:09:04
  Yeah, yeah. No, it's definitely an awesome
• 2:09:07
  style. Thank you man.
• 2:09:08
  He also asked how do you balance having a family and a drift car?
• 2:09:14
  I. That's a loaded question, so.
• 2:09:20
  I balance it because my family knows where I put my love at.
• 2:09:29
  It's all of it. So I don't love.
• 2:09:32
  I love. I put as much love as I can into
• 2:09:35
  every single bit. That I'm, like, blessed with.
• 2:09:38
  So I don't get all the time to work on them.
• 2:09:40
  I don't get all the time to drive them anymore.
• 2:09:43
  But again, they're here with me, my kids, my kids here with me.
• 2:09:48
  And my wife is here with me. So it's like the family's #1.
• 2:09:52
  And the times that I get to share them together is like like
• 2:09:55
  this weekend. Man, I'm pumped.
• 2:09:58
  They're all coming, yeah. Awesome.
• 2:09:59
  Yeah, but it took a lot. It takes a lot of effort for me
• 2:10:03
  to get all of them. All of it to come together like,
• 2:10:06
  oh bro, it's just like a four hour trip.
• 2:10:08
  It's just a weekend. Yeah man.
• 2:10:10
  But like for me, it's not. Easy.
• 2:10:12
  Yeah, Yeah. So dude, you got a lot of stuff
• 2:10:15
  going on. So like from the work aspect and
• 2:10:18
  everything that you guys heard, a little bit of what I do for
• 2:10:20
  work off chat, but it's yeah, it just takes a lot of effort man,
• 2:10:26
  and I have to pick and choose my battles, Kevin.
• 2:10:31
  But the ones that I'm picking and choosing, I'm trying to
• 2:10:33
  involve them along so I could do a bunch of D days.
• 2:10:36
  My wife has been always supportive that she's the real
• 2:10:39
  OG. My wife fucking ride or die ever
• 2:10:42
  since, dude. Honey dip since day one, you
• 2:10:46
  know. She got her own pro seat jacket.
• 2:10:47
  You know man, honey. Dip man, look up.
• 2:10:53
  There's this one hip hop song called by the boogie monsters
• 2:10:56
  called Honey Dips and Gotham. That's the song right there.
• 2:11:01
  That yo, it's my yo. Ride or die, That's my lady.
• 2:11:04
  That's awesome. She always, you know, I never
• 2:11:06
  asked her to love what I do outside of her.
• 2:11:08
  Yeah, she just loves me. And I don't think she loves
• 2:11:12
  cars, but she respects the passion that I have.
• 2:11:15
  Yeah, she's passionate for me because she knows.
• 2:11:18
  So I'm I'm just lucky in that sense.
• 2:11:20
  So that didn't all the girls from Proceed?
• 2:11:22
  They had their own jackets with the Proceed logo on them or
• 2:11:24
  something. Is that a thing?
• 2:11:25
  Wait till Saturday, bro. OK, so there's even more thing.
• 2:11:28
  I remember. Excited.
• 2:11:29
  What the hell did I remember you guys keep doing?
• 2:11:32
  Stuff like to say. What?
• 2:11:34
  The fuck when we came to? Final battle A few years ago,
• 2:11:36
  all the girls were so jealous. They're like, why don't we get
• 2:11:38
  you like that? Damn.
• 2:11:39
  And you probably got it. You're full.
• 2:11:41
  So. It's just it was so sick like
• 2:11:43
  see. That it's just something about
• 2:11:46
  the. Presence, dude.
• 2:11:47
  Like. It it's it may be corny to most,
• 2:11:50
  but to us it's like, yeah, it's all the way.
• 2:11:53
  It's got to go all the way, shorties, all the way.
• 2:11:55
  Watch. And it's funny where we talked
• 2:11:58
  about you, obviously this is your episode, but we talked
• 2:12:00
  about you and how you are with your style and all that.
• 2:12:03
  Dude, you're surrounded by four other dudes that emulate kind of
• 2:12:08
  the same thing you give off. I don't know how the fuck that
• 2:12:11
  happened, but your whole team is like very similar with that
• 2:12:14
  vibe, like especially Ilya. Dude, it's all of them.
• 2:12:18
  It's all of them. Very, very interesting.
• 2:12:21
  Ilya is a man. I miss Ilya.
• 2:12:24
  He's so busy right now. Which one is Ilya?
• 2:12:26
  White FD. See.
• 2:12:28
  Yeah, that's another one where I just knew him by the car, right.
• 2:12:31
  Yeah, I don't really. He's been off Instagram for a
• 2:12:33
  minute so and I hope that that's, you know, that's fine.
• 2:12:36
  Yeah, yeah, You hear his stories and it's fucking sick.
• 2:12:39
  Yeah, we got it. One day.
• 2:12:40
  I'm sure we'll. Hopefully we'll get him on here,
• 2:12:42
  yeah. Yeah.
• 2:12:43
  But yeah dude, it's fucking awesome that you have.
• 2:12:45
  Everyone's got like their image of what like they like.
• 2:12:50
  None of us will give in. It has to be done the way we
• 2:12:56
  want it, You know, execution. Whatever you wanna say, won't
• 2:13:01
  sleep till the execution. Like as simple as this final
• 2:13:06
  scheme is today. It took me 3 motherfucking
• 2:13:11
  attempts, yeah. My fucking fingernails falling
• 2:13:14
  off from redoing it. I.
• 2:13:17
  Applied it. I was like, I don't like the
• 2:13:19
  placement I applied. I was like, Nah, I didn't choose
• 2:13:21
  the right color. I shouldn't have applied it.
• 2:13:24
  It's like, no, this is not the right combination of roll call
• 2:13:27
  parts. It's got to be.
• 2:13:29
  Yeah, and you guys all have that you like it needs to be right.
• 2:13:33
  And the thing like I'm just gonna say this cuz I know
• 2:13:37
  there's listeners out there that.
• 2:13:38
  They wish they could have a group of friends like this.
• 2:13:42
  They do. Dude, it is.
• 2:13:43
  And I I know that. I know that because I was.
• 2:13:46
  I was one of those people 10 years ago and I got blessed to
• 2:13:50
  be surrounded by people with similar ideas.
• 2:13:53
  Yeah dude, there's a there was a they did an interview on Proceed
• 2:13:58
  on the early days of the final bout web page where they were
• 2:14:02
  interviewing us and we were just talking about the team and what
• 2:14:05
  the, you know? Bro, they had to cut the shit
• 2:14:07
  out dude. I fucking started tearing like a
• 2:14:09
  bitch. Dude.
• 2:14:10
  I dude, I teared up in front of my fucking team like cuz I was
• 2:14:14
  expressing how much they mean to me.
• 2:14:15
  Yeah, to do it right now, man, for real it was those people are
• 2:14:20
  near and dear to me. Like you're not even funny.
• 2:14:23
  And they've been. They've been.
• 2:14:25
  With you for fucking over 10 years probably.
• 2:14:28
  I known I known Simba since 01 when we first met at this glass,
• 2:14:33
  but I was 6. Our buddies Glass, our buddy
• 2:14:35
  had. His family had a automotive
• 2:14:37
  glass shop. That's where we held the first
• 2:14:39
  club of club before or Chicago Drift Meeting.
• 2:14:42
  Random pals that somehow connected on the Internet or
• 2:14:44
  through Benson's fucking eg web page.
• 2:14:46
  God damn, that was probably crazy.
• 2:14:48
  Because crazy it's not like you could just.
• 2:14:50
  Text. No, no.
• 2:14:51
  And then I I knew chob. Maybe 2000 is Chop the GS guy.
• 2:14:57
  Eric. I knew him before he could even.
• 2:15:00
  He even had a driver's license, dude.
• 2:15:02
  Yeah, fucking. Ilya I met Lee through
• 2:15:08
  acquaintances of club Fr. Our history with Risky Devil.
• 2:15:12
  If you guys didn't know we were part of back way back in the
• 2:15:15
  beginning days. And then Ilya, which is the best
• 2:15:18
  story. He met me with my passion.
• 2:15:21
  St. Drift.
• 2:15:22
  He met me street drifting. Yeah, I think I heard that story
• 2:15:25
  before, yeah. Alleged, if I remember
• 2:15:27
  correctly. And I want him to speak on it.
• 2:15:29
  Allegedly. Allegedly.
• 2:15:30
  But I I think his first experience drifting was seeing
• 2:15:35
  me streeting at our at our spot. I go silent.
• 2:15:38
  That's awesome. And I think that's when you said
• 2:15:40
  he was like, that's it came over.
• 2:15:42
  That's really cool. But The funny thing about it was
• 2:15:44
  I wasn't driving to ask Chassis. You were driving a protege.
• 2:15:49
  I was driving. I was driving my buddies.
• 2:15:52
  FC OK. So it was and he saw the FC and
• 2:15:55
  then. Yep.
• 2:15:56
  The dude is Rotary drift cross country motherfucker.
• 2:15:59
  Yep, Yeah. Guy's a king, dude.
• 2:16:02
  That's awesome, dude. I think.
• 2:16:04
  I think Derek King had some risky double history in his
• 2:16:06
  backyard. Actually, he just acquired some.
• 2:16:09
  It was a red FC. Oh my.
• 2:16:11
  God, Yep. It's Bruce's Carla.
• 2:16:13
  Yeah, I was walking around and I saw the junk house sticker.
• 2:16:16
  Did it have sexy style on us? Though, I think so.
• 2:16:18
  It had a sexy style camera, yeah.
• 2:16:20
  Did it have the wing on? Yeah, I think so.
• 2:16:21
  That's a foresight wing. Yeah.
• 2:16:24
  Did it. It was sick.
• 2:16:25
  That was the car that I I was like, that thing looks sick.
• 2:16:27
  I was just like, what the fuck? So I had to ask him about it and
• 2:16:30
  everything, but he talked about it on the podcast.
• 2:16:33
  That's pretty chilly, actually. Yeah, man.
• 2:16:35
  That car is special, I said. You know, I'll put it out there,
• 2:16:39
  but like sadly, a lot of us don't have a relationship with
• 2:16:41
  the guy that we were once with before back then, but.
• 2:16:45
  I will admit that dude, his vision, man, it was very
• 2:16:51
  similar. Like I never met.
• 2:16:53
  I haven't met a lot of people that have been as serious about
• 2:16:56
  the vision of her car. Like Dave was one of those guys.
• 2:17:00
  Red FC, sexy style. Foresight wing for you guys
• 2:17:04
  don't know what foresight wing. It's like if they ever made a
• 2:17:07
  Type X wing for an FC. Yeah, that was literally that.
• 2:17:10
  It's that wing. We went to California in 09 to
• 2:17:13
  meet one of our buddies, Darren. Darren acquired a brand new set
• 2:17:18
  of a VS Model 5 for him. So when we went to Kelly 09 that
• 2:17:22
  was that was the end. Got his model fives put it on
• 2:17:26
  the car. When we got back home from a SB
• 2:17:29
  2009, that's when the first time you saw real pictures of his car
• 2:17:33
  at hot D1 hot important nights you see the red FC Model 5-6.
• 2:17:40
  That's that's the first time that car was, like, presented.
• 2:17:44
  Holy shit. Because now I'm thinking you're
• 2:17:46
  describing that and now I'm like I.
• 2:17:48
  Haven't seen that car in SO. I wish we took more videos.
• 2:17:50
  And no, that that car was literally just it's there, yeah.
• 2:17:55
  Like when I want to say like, so I was like, what?
• 2:17:59
  I say chilling. Yeah, yeah, that I can.
• 2:18:01
  I can just see the image in my that car has maximum horror
• 2:18:06
  dude. Yeah, maximum.
• 2:18:08
  Was it broken? Like it was like nothing, right?
• 2:18:10
  Right now, just kind of like a roller.
• 2:18:11
  Whatever. Not really, dude.
• 2:18:12
  It was kind of it was kind of a car.
• 2:18:13
  It might have been missing a couple things here.
• 2:18:15
  It was kind of a car right now, Yeah.
• 2:18:16
  It's on wheels. Shit.
• 2:18:17
  Man, it's like it's on the ground.
• 2:18:19
  Yeah, it wasn't like, I didn't see it.
• 2:18:20
  And I was like, that's a parts car.
• 2:18:21
  I saw it and I was like, that's like a couple things away from
• 2:18:24
  me in a car. And then I saw it, yeah, the
• 2:18:25
  junk house sticker and everything.
• 2:18:26
  I was like, yo, I was like, tell me about that car, because that
• 2:18:29
  looks like it's a Chicago car. So it.
• 2:18:31
  Was. It dude, that's shit's cool,
• 2:18:33
  man. It's cool that like now.
• 2:18:35
  We're at that stage where we can look back at US cars and feel
• 2:18:39
  that way, you know, It's like looking at Haraguchi's car and
• 2:18:41
  you're like, what the fuck do you think?
• 2:18:43
  Do you fuck not to put my own? Question.
• 2:18:46
  Say that about my car, Chris Nazaro, He goes every time I go
• 2:18:48
  to your shop and I see your car sitting there with all the dust
• 2:18:51
  on it and everything. He's like, it just makes me feel
• 2:18:54
  like I'm looking at Haraguchi's car in the woods.
• 2:18:56
  Yo, dude. I was like, I I appreciate that,
• 2:18:58
  but I also, I'm kind of mad. It's like I got to finish my
• 2:19:00
  car. You need to fucking finish your.
• 2:19:01
  Yeah, you're calling it like. I I've gone through this
• 2:19:04
  internal battle of. You know, letting go of the car.
• 2:19:08
  Because when again, like, am I just telling myself to keep it?
• 2:19:12
  Just it. I think I finally hit the point
• 2:19:15
  where I was like, no, you can, you can keep this.
• 2:19:20
  Yeah, you you can keep this, man.
• 2:19:21
  It's OK. That's not crazy, right?
• 2:19:24
  You know, like. But you can keep this car
• 2:19:26
  because it's it's OK to love it enough to really actually keep
• 2:19:30
  it. Find out another way to express
• 2:19:33
  yourself in other. Aspects of cars, yeah, but don't
• 2:19:37
  do it at the expense of letting this one go.
• 2:19:40
  That's cool. Figure out how to do it.
• 2:19:41
  That's what I did, man. I was like, fuck this, I can't
• 2:19:44
  let this go just to try something.
• 2:19:45
  Yes, and that's gonna like everyone's path is gonna be
• 2:19:47
  different. But you're at that point now
• 2:19:48
  where you're like, I can keep this.
• 2:19:50
  That fourteen was a good reality check.
• 2:19:52
  Yeah, gorgeous car, but yeah. But I was like.
• 2:19:56
  Still still on a 180. That 180 is just, and let's face
• 2:19:59
  it, I don't think there's enough work that I could do.
• 2:20:04
  To rebuild one from ground up today, yeah, I don't think I
• 2:20:07
  could afford it. Yeah, we talked about that all
• 2:20:09
  the time, dude. It's also the.
• 2:20:11
  I just, there's not even just the money.
• 2:20:12
  It's the time and the effort. Yeah, time and effort is the
• 2:20:15
  number one, but the I guess maybe in the adult brain that
• 2:20:19
  that's insane, that money. If you want to, yeah.
• 2:20:21
  If you want to give yourself even more reasons to keep it.
• 2:20:23
  It's only going to be worth more money the later you fucking sell
• 2:20:26
  it. You know what I mean?
• 2:20:27
  So maybe who knows. But I I my my head's at the
• 2:20:31
  point where it's like it it belongs with our family.
• 2:20:34
  Now yeah, that's awesome dude. Fair enough.
• 2:20:37
  Let's see this. Who is this 240 dot sexy?
• 2:20:42
  Does your back hurt from having to carry the weight of having
• 2:20:45
  the best style in the US? I just had to say that.
• 2:20:49
  We had the whole conversation of like, I don't know why people
• 2:20:53
  fucking tell me this shit. I.
• 2:20:54
  Don't know. I just wanted you to hear that
• 2:20:56
  again. That's hilarious.
• 2:20:57
  I I appreciate the guys and girls that I identify with,
• 2:21:01
  maybe some of the cars that I've done.
• 2:21:04
  But if if my back is broken, I hope I broke it to inspire you
• 2:21:08
  guys to create whatever the fuck.
• 2:21:10
  It is. You 100% did.
• 2:21:11
  I'm one of those people. Yeah, and cool.
• 2:21:14
  Yeah, I'm one of them right now and you're hidden.
• 2:21:17
  Thanks man. I appreciate that.
• 2:21:18
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:21:19
  Don't make me tear up. All right, so.
• 2:21:23
  What the? Proceed asks what the fuck We're
• 2:21:28
  going to just text Procy. Ask Where the fuck are you?
• 2:21:30
  Guys, what was he doing at 7:00? 7:00 AM yeah, well, they know
• 2:21:37
  it's like my days usually started like 5, so.
• 2:21:39
  Oh my God, 7:00 I was visiting patients before these dudes
• 2:21:44
  showed. Yeah, take my kid to school.
• 2:21:47
  You already did way more than we did, and I bought Donuts.
• 2:21:50
  And Donuts and alcohol. Some some random comments in
• 2:21:56
  here. M Sports best.
• 2:21:58
  The sports is good, man. Speaking of M Sports, I think by
• 2:22:05
  Chunky bye. Yeah, I think he really enjoyed
• 2:22:07
  seeing it. That's good, yeah.
• 2:22:09
  His orange car at one point was AM sports car with a signal.
• 2:22:12
  Splash Yeah, yeah, I remember. That's the car.
• 2:22:16
  That's the for. Me.
• 2:22:17
  That car's high level. Well, fashion, Motorsports, we
• 2:22:21
  supply M sports. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:22:22
  You know sports. Yeah, we just.
• 2:22:24
  Yeah, I don't even work for Frankie.
• 2:22:26
  Dude, those hoods are awesome. The hood quality.
• 2:22:28
  I looked at it again. Dude.
• 2:22:30
  Yeah, so my car is not the best shape, but if you take a look at
• 2:22:35
  the arrow, I didn't trim a single fucking piece on that
• 2:22:38
  arrow. Yeah, really.
• 2:22:39
  Yeah. Nothing is trimmed.
• 2:22:40
  I didn't touch a single P except for putting the holes in it.
• 2:22:43
  And it's probably pretty easy to mount up too.
• 2:22:45
  Stupid. Yeah, stupid.
• 2:22:47
  Yeah, it's great, dude. And it's fairly priced like, you
• 2:22:50
  know, it's not crazy. It's not like.
• 2:22:52
  What's the wait time like? For M sports is great.
• 2:22:55
  It's like, well, great considering it's like 2 to four
• 2:22:58
  months. Versus Bn.
• 2:23:00
  Which is like a year. A year for longer.
• 2:23:02
  Yeah. Let me speak on this real quick.
• 2:23:04
  Yeah, I know I'm killing your time.
• 2:23:05
  You guys are? Like, no.
• 2:23:06
  We don't. We don't care.
• 2:23:07
  It's. I've already I just opened
• 2:23:08
  another drink. I mean, what?
• 2:23:10
  So like I have a sexy style kit? Yeah, authentic, right?
• 2:23:13
  Interceptor Kit and like I've been like the young Josh is
• 2:23:19
  like, yo, man. You gotta put that back up sexy
• 2:23:22
  style. Yeah, come on dude.
• 2:23:24
  But, like, I don't have the heart to put it on, right.
• 2:23:26
  So I was like, you know, maybe let me hit up, hold me over at
• 2:23:31
  at Shine. Maybe I'll just, I'll get a, you
• 2:23:33
  know, I'll get the Shine kit and just throw that in.
• 2:23:35
  Mind you, this, this doesn't matter.
• 2:23:37
  But like, I'm the type of person to get the blessings from Diago
• 2:23:44
  in Rio because they are the ones that design that arrow kit.
• 2:23:48
  Yeah, So I said in respect to you guys, would it be OK if I
• 2:23:52
  ran a knockoff of the sexy style kit either?
• 2:23:55
  Like, yeah man, go for it. It's cool.
• 2:23:57
  It's all good, man. Like, we don't really create it
• 2:23:58
  anymore. It's you know, the quality is
• 2:24:00
  probably better on your site anyways.
• 2:24:02
  Yeah. That being said, Shine Auto is a
• 2:24:04
  really good body kit too. Yes, it is.
• 2:24:06
  Yeah, so it is really good for a reason, but I'll put it this way
• 2:24:10
  and I'm not speaking down on Shine.
• 2:24:12
  Ken has been awesome for me back in the day, making like custom
• 2:24:15
  little tidbits for me. But I was like, I can get
• 2:24:18
  authentic M sports for the same price, if not a hair cheaper.
• 2:24:23
  Yeah, than running a knockoff kit.
• 2:24:26
  So I just, and you never did M sports either.
• 2:24:28
  So I never did M Sports. I never knew if I was going to
• 2:24:31
  be able to, but I was like, man, let's try it, man.
• 2:24:33
  Yeah, just try it. And if anything, just to have
• 2:24:36
  that big ass sticker on the side.
• 2:24:37
  Yeah, man. That's to me, that's the best
• 2:24:40
  part. Yeah, yeah, it's cool.
• 2:24:43
  It's not as good as the first iteration from late last year,
• 2:24:46
  cuz we're talking about the double layer sticker.
• 2:24:48
  Yeah, yeah. But that's all I had the time
• 2:24:50
  to. Nah, it looks great.
• 2:24:51
  It's all I can afford. Yeah, just that single layer
• 2:24:54
  fucking flag and shit. I'm glad I get to we get to
• 2:24:58
  bring Carl to all these. Things It's cuz yeah.
• 2:25:00
  Being surrounded by the sickest. Shit.
• 2:25:02
  I think it's funny that you think it's funny because, like,
• 2:25:06
  I don't. Again, like, this is probably
• 2:25:08
  one of the first couple years where I'm letting the shit fly.
• 2:25:11
  Like, I'm literally like, if I like it, I'm going to go like
• 2:25:14
  it. Yeah.
• 2:25:15
  Same with the wing that I found for the is.
• 2:25:17
  I have an is cool. Cool.
• 2:25:19
  Yeah. And and like it's just like, I
• 2:25:23
  don't know, just being surrounded by it.
• 2:25:25
  Just yeah, gives you a different kind of perspective on stuff,
• 2:25:29
  especially to Cuya over here. To me, cuya means bigger
• 2:25:32
  brother. By the way, it's just yeah.
• 2:25:35
  So this is not a is. No, it's.
• 2:25:37
  Not but I what I get what about this redone car is inspiring.
• 2:25:44
  Your is right now in your head for the.
• 2:25:45
  It's two hours that we've been chatting.
• 2:25:47
  It's the yes, and it's because when I look at it and I think
• 2:25:52
  about how I executed my car, you have different attentions to
• 2:25:57
  detail. Underneath the gas cap, behind
• 2:25:59
  the over Fender, it's silver. And that little bit complements
• 2:26:03
  the vinyl being silver and the little touches, like covering up
• 2:26:08
  the 240SX window sticker. And like the little pieces of
• 2:26:13
  detail. You didn't trim any of the kit
• 2:26:16
  the way that the vinyl is placed, the stack, everything.
• 2:26:18
  Like, it makes me rethink of not rethink, but it almost like
• 2:26:24
  encourages me to be like, oh OK, let me think outside of the box
• 2:26:27
  a little bit more until I find something that really fucking
• 2:26:30
  sits with me. Because right now, like I have
• 2:26:34
  like some kid on it. I found a wing off of like an
• 2:26:36
  importer and like I had a vision of like, oh, I kind of wanted to
• 2:26:40
  have that like Sea W Alteza look and the white card.
• 2:26:46
  That's the one with that DRFT on the on the door, yeah, the hood.
• 2:26:51
  So I have nrgs. Unfortunately, my, my, my salary
• 2:26:57
  and how much I make right now isn't.
• 2:27:00
  Line up with what I want to do. So I try to make do a lot of the
• 2:27:04
  times with what I can and I'll make or I'll go out of my way to
• 2:27:07
  go learn how to do a skill and execute it that way.
• 2:27:11
  And now I'm like, that's why I asked earlier.
• 2:27:13
  I was like, do you do everything yourself?
• 2:27:15
  No way, no way. I I I'm only able to do this
• 2:27:18
  with the with the support of my friends.
• 2:27:21
  Yeah, and I've I wouldn't be where I am without Frankie,
• 2:27:24
  without anybody else. Like I said, I'm not having a
• 2:27:27
  good mechanic like doing the dif and trans already.
• 2:27:29
  I was like kind of over this this year.
• 2:27:32
  It is like the first time I've had to do a different trans on
• 2:27:35
  the 13 in my entire car career. Yeah, I've never blown a
• 2:27:39
  transmission in any car. I've never blown a differential
• 2:27:41
  in any. Car.
• 2:27:42
  In my mind, never, never would. So I'm just like laying there
• 2:27:46
  like the fuck or not laying. But I did it here with Simba and
• 2:27:49
  I was like, man. Yeah.
• 2:27:50
  It's not fun. It's the attention to detail and
• 2:27:52
  the way you execute that. Because I'm like I always.
• 2:27:55
  It always comes back to that. I need, yeah, for sure not.
• 2:27:59
  I need to be like Josh, but I need to.
• 2:28:04
  I need to look at how I'm doing this a little differently.
• 2:28:06
  But that being said, you you kind of got it.
• 2:28:09
  I think your only problem right now is financial stuff.
• 2:28:12
  Yeah, like, I see his car and I'm like.
• 2:28:15
  He's there. He's got the idea, yeah, but
• 2:28:18
  you? Know the thing for me is that
• 2:28:21
  just because I can't afford it doesn't mean I'm not going to
• 2:28:23
  get there. Yeah, I'm just going to find
• 2:28:25
  another way to get there I wanted.
• 2:28:27
  You to try to speak on that if you can like not being able to
• 2:28:30
  afford. Let's say what you're doing
• 2:28:33
  currently, you know what I mean? Like, how do you get to that
• 2:28:36
  point? Like, did you have any struggles
• 2:28:37
  with that stuff, he? Grinded harder.
• 2:28:40
  Yeah, that's just what I'm getting is like, I need to.
• 2:28:43
  If you love something hard enough.
• 2:28:45
  I don't like Josh does. I'm not quite and I'm not taking
• 2:28:48
  any credit from anyone that's quote UN quote grinding.
• 2:28:54
  Like I know what my grind is and it's not easy.
• 2:28:56
  That's why I use the word grind. It's really hard.
• 2:28:59
  Yeah, it's really hard. If it was easy, everybody would
• 2:29:02
  do it. I mean, maybe, sure.
• 2:29:06
  Smooth see never made a skilled sailor.
• 2:29:09
  But it's it's not me, man. It's just the people I'm around
• 2:29:17
  like proceed means to move forward.
• 2:29:26
  I coined that. I just for the record, I I
• 2:29:31
  coined that shit. The Roots has a track called
• 2:29:35
  Proceed. I shall proceed and continue to
• 2:29:40
  rock the mic. That's that has always stood out
• 2:29:43
  in my head, that line from that from that track.
• 2:29:46
  And you know I'm not going to get into our splits with the old
• 2:29:52
  team, but that's what we needed. We needed to proceed.
• 2:29:56
  We need to fucking move forward with the vision that we had so
• 2:29:59
  strong at our heart. So same thing if it's cars or,
• 2:30:03
  you know, business. I'm not a business guy.
• 2:30:06
  I'm not an entrepreneur whatsoever.
• 2:30:09
  I'm the example of somebody that took the safe route but was like
• 2:30:13
  willing to like push at the safe route.
• 2:30:17
  Yeah, So you guys don't might not know.
• 2:30:20
  I'm just a nurse guys. I'm not special.
• 2:30:23
  Like, I'm not. We said it earlier.
• 2:30:25
  I'm not some tech dude. I don't have special talents.
• 2:30:28
  I chose a I chose a career that was said to have some stability.
• 2:30:34
  Security and security. Also finding out that if I was
• 2:30:38
  willing to put more time and effort, I could make a little
• 2:30:44
  more money. So there's nothing flashy about
• 2:30:48
  working in the medical field. If you guys know anyone that
• 2:30:51
  does it, they will tell you there's nothing flashy about it.
• 2:30:54
  It's just hard fucking work. Period.
• 2:30:57
  The hours are hard. The stress on your body, your
• 2:31:00
  family, it's fucking hard. But if you want, if you want
• 2:31:07
  something that you foresee is average and you want something
• 2:31:10
  more than average, you have to do over average.
• 2:31:14
  Shit, I don't give a fuck where you live.
• 2:31:19
  If you want more than average, you got to do more than average.
• 2:31:24
  And unfortunately in the United States average is more than 40
• 2:31:28
  hours. And I'm just telling I know that
• 2:31:33
  the in this day and technology people especially the younger
• 2:31:36
  generation have found the ability to make money in these
• 2:31:39
  new jobs creators and and stuff. It's incredible.
• 2:31:45
  But these these people know just there's nothing average about
• 2:31:49
  what they're doing. That shit takes time.
• 2:31:52
  And I was going to say that I'm 40.
• 2:31:56
  Everybody outed. I didn't.
• 2:32:01
  I didn't get this when I was 18. You know I didn't.
• 2:32:06
  I got this when I was 40. Yeah, what could you, what could
• 2:32:10
  you say to those people that are at that age level you know like
• 2:32:14
  they're they're they're 18 to 2014, eighteen to 20.
• 2:32:17
  Yeah, you know you. I can't tell you anything
• 2:32:21
  because you don't know what you want.
• 2:32:22
  When you're 18 and 20. You may have a you might have a
• 2:32:26
  inkling. I like cars, I like music.
• 2:32:31
  But you're only 18. Your your knowledge and is going
• 2:32:35
  to come with experience and and time.
• 2:32:39
  It comes with time. Don't material stuff.
• 2:32:44
  Some people have the ability to achieve these things quick.
• 2:32:47
  I was not one of them. But it's OK because, like my
• 2:32:51
  ride to this shit, we only been talking for how long.
• 2:32:56
  Like 2 1/2 hours. So I apologize for this dragging
• 2:33:00
  along for you guys. No dude, anyone that wants to
• 2:33:04
  chat, like maybe someone that's not that hasn't been in the game
• 2:33:10
  this long might not have 2 1/2. Hours to talk shit, Yeah.
• 2:33:14
  To shoot the shit with like, I'm fucking pumped.
• 2:33:18
  When you told me you hit me, I was like, yo, fucking ready.
• 2:33:22
  Let me get my shit correct? So when you guys roll up?
• 2:33:25
  Yeah, we're going to have a good time.
• 2:33:28
  You know, I I just wish we could.
• 2:33:30
  I wish we could do it longer. Like, I wish we were neighbors.
• 2:33:32
  But like, the one thing about our community that's incredible
• 2:33:35
  is just like, yeah, I wish we were.
• 2:33:37
  But like, yeah, I know that would be wild, but talk like
• 2:33:41
  we've seen each other. How many times are ready, bro?
• 2:33:46
  In the early days? No way.
• 2:33:47
  Yeah. No, no, no, no way.
• 2:33:49
  No, I was like, once I started drifting, that was when that
• 2:33:51
  started. Like everyone started being able
• 2:33:53
  to see each other, you know? Yeah, man.
• 2:33:55
  So I mean to speak on that, you have to, you have to understand
• 2:34:00
  that some, some things, not all, some things take time.
• 2:34:06
  They take time. Yeah.
• 2:34:07
  And it's OK. It's OK.
• 2:34:10
  But for the guys that want it now, you might figure out a way
• 2:34:15
  to get it now. And that's fucking rad.
• 2:34:17
  If you can, yeah. You're going to be busting your
• 2:34:19
  ass. You're going to be busting your
• 2:34:20
  fucking ass, that's for sure. Yeah, but there ain't nothing
• 2:34:23
  wrong with that. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with
• 2:34:26
  busting your ass. That's it.
• 2:34:27
  At the end of the day, it's hard work.
• 2:34:28
  I mean, if you want, you know, if you want to achieve stuff
• 2:34:30
  like what Josh got going on here, you got to fucking bust
• 2:34:34
  your ass. Like if you want not average
• 2:34:36
  shit, yeah, you got to do not average shit.
• 2:34:40
  That's we caught from that, Yeah, yeah.
• 2:34:43
  And Cap and crunch cereal, whatever I said earlier.
• 2:34:46
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not just for the not, don't go
• 2:34:48
  for the toy right away. I'm I'm saying this right now,
• 2:34:51
  too. Next time we do this, my car is
• 2:34:53
  going to be sitting right here next year.
• 2:34:55
  I'm. Saying it right now.
• 2:34:56
  You're fucking. I'm taking it off the trailer,
• 2:34:59
  dude. I've got this spitting image of
• 2:35:03
  like the US180 Gods, everybody parked up here.
• 2:35:07
  Don't use the G word around Frankie like it's I it's somehow
• 2:35:12
  there's it's going to happen somehow, someway.
• 2:35:15
  But I want it doesn't have to be my garage.
• 2:35:18
  I want that from my own memory. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and my own.
• 2:35:21
  Like down the street is my own, my own poster.
• 2:35:24
  New Jersey HO. But last year, dude, when I had
• 2:35:27
  the guys from Abstract. Dude, all Frankie's favorite
• 2:35:31
  cars. Kevin, 96, rolled up.
• 2:35:34
  Yeah, and like, we were here like washing the cars last year,
• 2:35:37
  I was like. Yeah, you're like, how is this
• 2:35:39
  happening right now, yo? It's like I do washing some of
• 2:35:42
  the coolest cars in the US on my driveway with my water.
• 2:35:45
  Dude, that's how I feel with my with my water.
• 2:35:48
  Water. This is how I feel when I see
• 2:35:50
  all the cars rolling up to Togate Factory during final
• 2:35:52
  bout. I was like, when the fuck are we
• 2:35:54
  going to have an event where all these cars can come to the shop
• 2:35:57
  before you know and like, we all fucking hang out?
• 2:36:00
  Is that what we're doing? That's it you've put.
• 2:36:02
  I mean, they've been going in and out, you know, put the
• 2:36:05
  energy out there, man. You know, you guys are getting
• 2:36:07
  pretty creative. So hey, give people a reason to
• 2:36:11
  come to your shop. Yeah, and then English Town,
• 2:36:14
  which is getting better and better with, you know, with
• 2:36:16
  Chris Knapp, the the son of the owner of Raceway Park.
• 2:36:20
  I heard that good stuff happening.
• 2:36:22
  Dude, yeah, we're, you know he's doing an event in November
• 2:36:25
  that's more likes. It's more like a street style
• 2:36:27
  type competition I guess you could say.
• 2:36:29
  So that's, you know opening some doors up.
• 2:36:32
  So yeah, too, yeah. Yeah, we'll get you out there.
• 2:36:36
  Even though we've been asking you for like, yeah, let's not
• 2:36:39
  get into that. It's hard.
• 2:36:40
  It's. Hard Josh has a lot of stuff.
• 2:36:42
  Going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:36:44
  All right. Excuses.
• 2:36:46
  Sorry. Yeah, no, I get it.
• 2:36:47
  I have a lot of excuses too. I'm going to read two more and
• 2:36:50
  then we'll get the hell out of here.
• 2:36:52
  Which Japanese drift video had the most influence on you?
• 2:36:55
  I know it's a crazy question, but the reason I ask it is
• 2:36:57
  because. This is someone from Portugal
• 2:36:59
  that's asking us, he said. Greetings from Portugal.
• 2:37:01
  Oh cool Portugal. I've never been there.
• 2:37:04
  That is rad. What are you doing dude?
• 2:37:08
  Thank you though. It's really hard because like,
• 2:37:10
  you know, like, I'm just looking dead straight because I know I
• 2:37:14
  have videos. Yeah, yeah, that's really hard
• 2:37:19
  to ask, but I know that this is a more drift related pod.
• 2:37:23
  It could be anything, I know, but there there is that there is
• 2:37:29
  that option segment where they do the street ikatans and all
• 2:37:35
  the prefectures. That's sick motherfuck.
• 2:37:40
  Sorry, I can't not swear. That fucking video is the best.
• 2:37:45
  That's pretty. And then when option two
• 2:37:47
  released their international volume where they dubbed that
• 2:37:51
  shit in English like I already had the original.
• 2:37:55
  Then they did it like a few years later and started
• 2:37:58
  rereleasing some of the old stuff under JDM Option
• 2:38:01
  International to be able to understand what they were saying
• 2:38:05
  in those videos and all their different togas and.
• 2:38:08
  Streets like watching it for the first time is yeah.
• 2:38:10
  So like that's the one where you see like Uchi and Bai and their
• 2:38:17
  in their spot in Osaka big intersection there's that.
• 2:38:21
  You see the already excessive cars on their tow.
• 2:38:24
  Gay, they suck. But all their cars are fucking
• 2:38:28
  insane. All bridge seats with the
• 2:38:30
  fucking Halo and ears. And all the driving stuck back
• 2:38:32
  then. Yeah, there was like 4.
• 2:38:33
  Drivers you have Imamra doesn't run.
• 2:38:39
  He's like, oh free mode where he does a run and follows one of
• 2:38:42
  the teams. This is the same video where
• 2:38:47
  Kaguchi Green 180 is cruising on the.
• 2:38:49
  That's what I thought. Yeah.
• 2:38:50
  And then Nomel Ken rolls up like he wakes up like in like a
• 2:38:53
  fucking what's going on? And Colucci fucking takes off IQ
• 2:38:56
  form. That's that video for drifting
• 2:39:00
  is like, yo. That's the one, because all I
• 2:39:04
  ever wanted to do is All I ever wanted to do is St.
• 2:39:07
  Yeah, I'm the same way. You probably poisoned my mind,
• 2:39:11
  man. That's probably what happened.
• 2:39:13
  I know you guys all. Yeah, try to quote that stupid
• 2:39:16
  shit. I'm not going to say it segment,
• 2:39:18
  Yeah, it's so embarrassing. Yeah, now I have to say it.
• 2:39:21
  His heart's in the streets, yo. So, yo, that's actually funny.
• 2:39:26
  Carl always makes fun of me. Because I have the video,
• 2:39:30
  apparently I have a fucking quote.
• 2:39:32
  Yes you do. It's.
• 2:39:33
  From it's a from a final bout video, I know exactly that.
• 2:39:35
  Yeah. Then find about two video and
• 2:39:38
  you're sitting in the middle. I said if your card doesn't look
• 2:39:40
  well, no one cares. Which is funny because because
• 2:39:43
  literally after. Bro breaking, let me tell you
• 2:39:45
  something. That this.
• 2:39:46
  Is the original quote guy in the drift scene?
• 2:39:48
  I know now, yeah. But I think it's funny because
• 2:39:51
  after years, how long ago was that?
• 2:39:53
  Yeah, that that video was on 9. After years it was like 910.
• 2:39:58
  Yeah, the risky. Video back then.
• 2:40:02
  Oh dude, I think that might it was oh, it could have been
• 2:40:04
  because that was a 07. It might be the car, yeah.
• 2:40:07
  It might have been somewhere 07/08 or 09 but.
• 2:40:11
  I think it was literally perfect because Frankie said that, which
• 2:40:16
  it was. Yeah, pretty much.
• 2:40:19
  If your car doesn't look good, nobody.
• 2:40:20
  And I wasn't trying to saying it, just like you weren't
• 2:40:22
  trying. You were just saying what you
• 2:40:23
  felt? Like but last night, Frankie is
• 2:40:25
  driving. Man's is borderline delirious.
• 2:40:28
  And he's like, yeah, I mean, well, it goes back to the thing
• 2:40:32
  where like, if your car doesn't look good, nobody really cares.
• 2:40:34
  I. Didn't say it like that, but I.
• 2:40:35
  Said it close enough, It was very.
• 2:40:37
  And I was like, well, I hate to break it to you, but you just
• 2:40:41
  said that thing that I always say that you said.
• 2:40:44
  Yeah, dude. I think that was funny.
• 2:40:46
  It's funny, man. Timeless.
• 2:40:48
  Because that because that bothers me.
• 2:40:49
  That's why I thought of it. So embarrassing.
• 2:40:52
  Josh's is perfect bro. I have so many embarrassing
• 2:40:56
  moments. Yeah.
• 2:40:57
  No, but what you said there. Like, resonates with me and like
• 2:41:01
  a lot of other people that we're friends with, obviously, you
• 2:41:04
  know, so not everyone, not everyone.
• 2:41:07
  Like a lot of people are track people.
• 2:41:09
  But if you had to ask, which is the ultimate stage, it's not a
• 2:41:16
  circuit. Yeah.
• 2:41:17
  Ever. Yeah.
• 2:41:19
  And I love Usair, you know, I love Nico.
• 2:41:24
  I loved Ebisu. I've, you know, driven a couple
• 2:41:27
  places. Yeah, that's like, if you ask
• 2:41:29
  me, what's the the number one stage better being a
• 2:41:33
  motherfucking Tony in Japan or some?
• 2:41:35
  Shit, yeah, dude, When we would come out here for final bout to
• 2:41:39
  everyone, Yeah, we're going to final bout.
• 2:41:40
  We're going to US Air St. All I cared about was going
• 2:41:43
  Streeting, allegedly so with certain people, and I don't mind
• 2:41:46
  saying it now, but yeah, I do publicly apologize to the guys
• 2:41:51
  that participated and invited me to these festivities.
• 2:41:55
  But because of, you know, yeah, my relationship with the event.
• 2:41:59
  Yeah. Yeah, I can't be held
• 2:42:00
  responsible for Frankie blowing up his car St.
• 2:42:04
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. The night before final.
• 2:42:05
  About hey man times. So times long past.
• 2:42:08
  But hey, it was fun. So thank you, man.
• 2:42:11
  That was fun. And the last one, by the way,
• 2:42:15
  there's another guy from Portugal in here, just to let
• 2:42:17
  you guys know. That's kind of fucking crazy.
• 2:42:19
  Yeah, he said. What was your favorite era of
• 2:42:21
  your car? If you wanna, I don't know if
• 2:42:22
  you have one but so again it's a tie.
• 2:42:25
  So the the IKEA formula car when you saw it.
• 2:42:33
  Ferrari wing. Yeah.
• 2:42:35
  LM Omori wheels Chrome red. I think overall who I am as a
• 2:42:43
  driver and as a person that's that's number one.
• 2:42:46
  But because I am such like a historical person that looks at
• 2:42:50
  the pass all the time. 1819 stagger sexy style, dude.
• 2:42:55
  Yeah, shit is fucking tied. 18193018. 90 We'll show you

  Reason that guy thinks outside of the box.
• 2:43:48
  You would talk about thinking outside of the box, like, yeah,
• 2:43:50
  but, but that's again, that's just that, that era of what we
• 2:43:55
  were going through as a team, like the essence of St.
• 2:44:01
  Drifting like. Yeah, 1819 Chrome sexy style.
• 2:44:08

• 2:44:45
  I watched the car. I don't have a lot of in car
• 2:44:46
  because I don't really. I'm very one.
• 2:44:48
  I'm just terrible at hitting play.
• 2:44:50
  I'm with that. I'm with that.
• 2:44:51
  But yeah, if there's at any point that I can throw that
• 2:44:55

  They always cracked on me on that first gear.
• 2:45:31
  Shit, they've seen it first. I mean, I heard that from a lot
• 2:45:34
  of people, but like, fucking S chassis.
• 2:45:36
  Jesus Christ, you know, there's did, there's just.
• 2:45:39

  The transmission allows it. Yeah.
• 2:46:05
  There's I don't know how to explain it, but if it.
• 2:46:08
  Feels right. You look like.
• 2:46:10
  It's not me like. Yeah, no, dude, It's just me
• 2:46:13
  putting palm tension right on the shifter once that synchro
• 2:46:17
  just gets at the right place. Yeah, yeah, right in.
• 2:46:21
  Obviously you need to time when you yeah, when you think it's
• 2:46:24
  something gotta go. But there's it just it falls in
• 2:46:26
  dude. I just want you to know, I don't

  Yeah dude, no. For no.
• 2:46:41
  OK? I am not a Instagram figure or
• 2:46:45
  social media figure. I posted that little video.
• 2:46:49
  It's like 5060 seconds of me just fucking around in a
• 2:46:52
  parking. Lot Literally just fucking
• 2:46:53
  around in a parking lot. Small shit, tight, got like 100
• 2:46:56
  something, 1000 views and I had, I was like, oh, I got to delete.
• 2:47:00
  I'm fucking glad it did because I'm deleting this shit.
• 2:47:03
  This is nuts. But this goes back to what we
• 2:47:05
  were talking about earlier. Like should I hideaway or should
• 2:47:07
  I just post and hopefully give people inspiration?
• 2:47:10
  I rarely see shit these days. You're you're not like me.
• 2:47:13
  I think you get hyped on everything.
• 2:47:15
  But I rarely see fucking anything these days where I'm
• 2:47:17
  like. That's fucking sick.
• 2:47:20
  And that fucking video was like, dude, you know what I'm talking
• 2:47:25
  about? The fucking parking at the end.
• 2:47:26
  Oh yeah. Bro, I was like did that clip.
• 2:47:29
  It was just in car, right? Yeah, it's literally just a
• 2:47:32
  simple. I'll send it to.
• 2:47:33
  You in car clip? Yeah, there's something like
• 2:47:35
  there's an outside clip of it and the person that is takes
• 2:47:39
  that. Oh shit, cuz they thought I was
• 2:47:41
  gonna. So he's he's literally just
• 2:47:43
  fucking around in a parking lot like some shit we would do if we
• 2:47:46
  had a day where we can just go to a lot with some people.
• 2:47:48
  Yeah, quick. And it's daytime.
• 2:47:50
  So it's like, it's cool. You can see everything, see
• 2:47:52
  everything. And he's just got in car,
• 2:47:54
  typical GoPro shit behind and he's just fucking around
• 2:47:58
  occasionally. See the first gear sheet like
• 2:47:59
  what the fuck, whatever. And then at the end of the video
• 2:48:03
  that the time's running out. You're like, how the fuck is
• 2:48:05
  this going to end? And he just fucking?
• 2:48:08
  Whips the car right behind all the other ones lined up against
• 2:48:11
  the curb Like like he's going to drift the turn and just comes to
• 2:48:16
  a stop and just fucking takes the wheel off.
• 2:48:20
  I was like, why did Josh just have to fucking do the gangster
• 2:48:23
  shit and shit on everyone right now for no reason like that,
• 2:48:25
  dude, it was wild, man. Like that's the kind of shit
• 2:48:30
  that gets me hyped, man. And like talking to breaking
• 2:48:32
  last night, like all that shit like, but there there's a that
• 2:48:36
  simple clip. And for anybody that got like
• 2:48:40
  any emotion out of that, if you, if you notice me, play with the
• 2:48:47
  volume dial. I needed to make sure that
• 2:48:50
  whoever was watching heard the music I was drifting to.
• 2:48:53
  Hell yeah. I do that too.
• 2:48:54
  That's so funny, Important to have the full experience.
• 2:48:59
  Yeah. You might not be into the music,
• 2:49:01
  I was into listening, but it just connects.
• 2:49:05
  It was just working, yeah. Yeah.
• 2:49:07
  That last her was like, right on the curb.
• 2:49:10
  And shit. Dude.
• 2:49:11
  All right, let's let's get out of here.
• 2:49:13
  Let's try to find. Maybe we'll find some people
• 2:49:14
  over there eating pizza. But I just want to say thank you
• 2:49:17
  again for everything. Yeah.
• 2:49:19
  It's fucking I I don't. I rarely take a moment to like
• 2:49:23
  reflect. Usually this is my part.
• 2:49:25
  Yeah, but yeah, this is now my part.
• 2:49:27
  Yeah, go ahead. Go go off, go off, go off.
• 2:49:29
  I rarely take apart a time to reflect on anything in my life.
• 2:49:32
  I always feel like I'm going forward and forward and forward
• 2:49:34
  and forward and moving. But like, this is pretty fucking
• 2:49:38
  crazy for me. Like if you asked my my 20 year
• 2:49:40
  old self about like, where I would be, I did not think I'd be
• 2:49:44
  in your garage with your car behind us.
• 2:49:47
  Like, and we're talking this shit and you got my fucking
• 2:49:49
  company's sticker on your trunk. Dude that that's like fucking.
• 2:49:53
  That means a lot to me, man. Like I could get choked up.
• 2:49:58
  You know how I am with selecting.
• 2:50:01
  I only select what I want. There's not like a there's no
• 2:50:07
  man how no like when you're asking about the sexy style
• 2:50:10
  sticker, the team, everything is very specific when I do it.
• 2:50:15
  Yeah, as simple as it might look or corny.
• 2:50:17
  No, I did it for a reason. Yeah, man, like that shit.
• 2:50:21
  Yeah, man, I'm. Not I remember trying to cry on
• 2:50:23
  this shit, but I remember, like, having the facts.
• 2:50:25
  I remember if I hit you. Yeah, trimmed and shit.
• 2:50:28
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, yo man, I got it to
• 2:50:29
  fit right. Bro, you sent me that and I was
• 2:50:31
  like. What the fuck is my life right
• 2:50:33
  now? And like, I never reflect like
• 2:50:35
  that. Like, you know, we we talk, we
• 2:50:37
  whatever. And I I never think anything of
• 2:50:39
  it. But then occasionally you'll
• 2:50:42
  have a moment where you, you go back to like your old self when
• 2:50:46
  you start to get into driving and you're like probably how you
• 2:50:48
  feel with all the J guys, like and you're meeting them and
• 2:50:51
  everything. Whoa.
• 2:50:52
  Yeah, it's like that, man. It is.
• 2:50:55
  So I'm honored, dude. Yeah.
• 2:50:57
  Just just so you know. Thank you, man.
• 2:51:01
  Yeah, it's nice to know that. Yeah, man.
• 2:51:06

• 2:51:09

• 2:51:12
  much for listening. Josh, if you have anything else
• 2:51:14
  to say, plug anything or anything.
• 2:51:16

  you can't reach out to me. Most importantly, like the ones
• 2:51:44

  of left on me was. Pretty immense and like very
• 2:52:55
