  Carl's trip to the pond down in Alabama.
• 0:24
  It was Trip to the Pond version 8.
• 0:28
  I don't know why I think it says V8.
• 0:30
  I don't know why it says V8, but I think they call it version 8.
• 0:32
  But down at Mid Pond in Alabama, pretty cool track.
• 0:36
  They camped out there for like 2 nights.
• 0:38
  It was a three day event. They've been going to this event
• 0:42
  for a few years now. It seems like a really fun time.
• 0:44
  So we just covered that and yeah, we went over Q&A as well.
• 0:49
  Some questions for Carl about his car.
• 0:51
  Carl was Carl's driving seems like it's pretty dialed right

  And he's officially a drifter now.
• 3:23
  Yeah. Now you're poor as fuck.
• 3:25
  Oh, yeah. About to be.
• 3:26
  That's how that shit works. Yeah.
• 3:28
  But yeah, we're back from Drift to the Pond.
• 3:30
  That if you don't know what trip to the pond was, it's a event
• 3:33
  hosted by a couple good buddies of mine that kind of happens
• 3:37
  every year. Yeah.
• 3:38
  I don't know if it's more than once a year right now.
• 3:40
  What's the number they're on right now?
• 3:42
  This is 8. Yeah, I saw that shit.
• 3:43
  I was like, that's a lot dude got.
• 3:45
  The shirt on. Damn, my nipples kind of cold in
• 3:47
  here. That's a lot of.
• 3:48
  Fucking events. Yeah.
• 3:50
  And I've been to three personally.
• 3:52
  Yeah. And I thought it was funny
• 3:54
  because. Is this your?
• 3:56
  No, you went to the one last year.
• 3:57
  I went to the one last year. With you?
• 3:59
  Yeah. With with me.
• 4:00
  But when I told Kenny this on the way home, I was like, yo,
• 4:04
  isn't it kind of crazy that you've watched my car and me
• 4:07
  change fully as a person every year we've gone upon?
• 4:10
  He went with you too. Yeah, he was there for the first
• 4:12
  one. Yeah.
• 4:13
  That's when Kenny was like a young spring chicken dude.
• 4:16
  He was like, no, yeah, IS2 right.
• 4:18
  No, no, he just was. Oh, he did have an IS.
• 4:21
  Oh my God, the white one, the white one.
• 4:23
  And then he. Like now, what has he got?
• 4:25
  Just kind of got involved. Oh, is.
• 4:27
  He done with drifting. I don't know what he's doing.
• 4:30
  Yeah, I don't know what he's doing either.
• 4:32
  He's just doing Kenny shit, yeah.
• 4:34
  But he came out. He came out again.
• 4:36
  He came out again, I guess like we could kind of rough timeline
• 4:40
  it and then I'll kind of just go into what the hell our
• 4:43
  experience was because we had a great.
• 4:44
  Experience. Oh my God, it was so.
• 4:46
  It was so this. Was probably the best.
• 4:48
  Pond ever and it ran so smooth. I want to, I want to credit the
• 4:51
  organizers of Ponds, so Diego, the Cody's and Co, whoever else
• 4:57
  had a hand in doing that. Josh Perini for changing tires
• 5:00
  for everybody and also trying to drive at the same time.
• 5:03
  And like Ken, the midpoint, Ken the one who owns the track and
• 5:07
  all that stuff. Like without any of that going
• 5:10
  on cohesively, none of the event would happen.
• 5:13
  So I want to make sure that that's out there for us.
• 5:15
  It was super smooth. There wasn't a single grid
• 5:17
  worker there. Everybody just was on the same
• 5:19
  page. You know what I mean?
• 5:20
  Like we did not need. Did they update the track?
• 5:23
  No, not yet. No, they're working on it, but
• 5:25
  it's not done. They fixed some of the crazy
• 5:27
  drop offs, like a little bit. I was definitely able to.
• 5:30
  Get fixed it, but then we found some new.
• 5:32
  Ones yeah we found some new ones for sure dude, but it was so fun
• 5:36
  like I feel like last. Year, it was pretty violent to
• 5:40
  your car, right? Yeah.
• 5:42
  This year is better. But also probably just because
• 5:46
  what was different you? Turned that shit off the track
• 5:48
  at some point last year. Yeah, like I threw it off the
• 5:51
  track, I think like Day 2. So like Saturday night, which
• 5:54
  sucks because that's when like technically you want to be like
• 5:58
  warmed up Friday, Saturday's your full day of driving, and
• 6:00
  then Sunday you want to hopefully just put it back on
• 6:02
  the trailer. But this time, you didn't.
• 6:04
  This time it was totally chill, Totally chill.
• 6:05
  Everything was fine. Yeah.
• 6:08
  I don't know what I wanted the car out of the car last year.
• 6:10
  I feel like I was just trying too much and like not enjoying
• 6:14
  myself as much because this year I was literally like.
• 6:17
  Fuck it. We're going to like drive the
• 6:19
  wheels off of this thing, which thankfully we didn't do, but we
• 6:24
  we left Thursday morning, technically Wednesday night and
• 6:28
  like we met at Hobby's house and we picked up Kenny from the
• 6:32
  airport. We left Hobby's house at like 6.
• 6:35
  How? Far is that drive in total. 45-O
• 6:37
  total with the airport drive. Like 15 hours.
• 6:39
  It was long. It was long as fuck.
• 6:41
  Yeah, I don't want to put it down there.
• 6:42
  I didn't sleep that the whole time.
• 6:44
  Oh yeah, don't you always fall asleep in the car?
• 6:47
  Kind of, but so far last year I was just super tired.
• 6:51
  I the week before PON I ran 1/2 marathon.
• 6:55
  Oh, and then we left. And then we left.
• 6:56
  And I put like 3 liveries on Ethan's car, Carl's car, and
• 7:00
  Buddy Quan. Yeah.
• 7:01
  So I was just smoked, yeah. But this year I was up.
• 7:04
  Yeah, and we slept the night before and how he was already
• 7:08
  conscious about the fact that he always falls asleep.
• 7:10
  Last year at PON he fell asleep at like 2O four in the
• 7:13
  afternoon. And try not to get roasted this
• 7:15
  time. Done.
• 7:16
  I took one video. You looked a little on the
• 7:20
  danger side. I saw him from a mile away.
• 7:23
  Like I was like, I zoomed in and I just see Javi like like posted
• 7:27
  up on a trailer. You still making sandwiches in
• 7:29
  the back seat? I did but I pre made it this.
• 7:32
  Time pre made it. It was fire that that shit gave
• 7:34
  me life. Good, because that was probably
• 7:37
  the last healthy meal I had that entire trip.
• 7:40
  Yeah, that always happened. Because we were driving since we
• 7:44
  went to Philly International, it brought us down through like DC
• 7:49
  and all that shit. So we go through DC and it's
• 7:53
  like pretty much like bumper to bumper traffic for a little bit.
• 7:56
  I don't really care. We, we brought a new guy, Sam
• 7:59
  with us who's trying to, he's from Maryland, I guess.
• 8:02
  And he was just giving us tips about like where the traffic
• 8:04
  was. And I was just trying to assure
• 8:05
  him, bro, I do not care. I just want to get down there
• 8:08
  and we're going to get down there.
• 8:10
  He was a media guy at Shenandoah when we went.
• 8:12
  Oh. OK.
• 8:13
  So he wanted to just see Pond. I was like, fuck you, get in the
• 8:15
  car. Oh, excuse me, just had some
• 8:18
  beer. But we're going down.
• 8:20
  And I don't know, going down is always so fucking easy.
• 8:24
  It was smooth. It was.
• 8:25
  Always the annoying part. But I was running on no sleep.
• 8:29
  I took the JDM sleeping pill the night before a little too late.
• 8:32
  What is that JDM? Sleep dude.
• 8:33
  It looks like NZT. Do you know what NZT?
• 8:36
  Is no. No, I don't know it is.
• 8:37
  Did you watch the Limitless with Bradley?
• 8:38
  Cooper No. No.
• 8:40
  What? Oh my God, fantastic.
• 8:42
  Limitless. I didn't think I did.
• 8:44
  Malcolm, can you pull up like what?
• 8:46
  Limitless is Limitless? Bradley Cooper.
• 8:48
  That was a fantastic movie. Basically, it was a drug that
• 8:51
  unlocked like the other half of your brain.
• 8:53
  Like maybe I did see that you had to have.
• 8:55
  This was a great movie. What?
• 8:56
  It was a good movie. You should definitely pull it
• 8:59
  up. Oh.
• 9:01
  What's that the? TV's messed.
• 9:03
  Up yo, they got dry ice. But while that's while, while
• 9:05
  that's while that's going on. Like I took this JDM sleeping
• 9:07
  pill because I have a problem with sleeping the night before a
• 9:10
  trip because I'm so fucking geeked.
• 9:12
  Like I'm just thinking about the whole trip already.
• 9:14
  So basically limitless in this show.
• 9:18
  Yeah, that that's the fucking billboard thing.
• 9:20
  But he takes pill, he finds these pills somehow by
• 9:23
  interacting with his cousin and getting caught up in some bad
• 9:25
  shit and just has an abundance of this pill that makes him
• 9:29
  super smart. So in that short time frame
• 9:31
  where he was just taking it all the time, he just like gets
• 9:35
  successful, starts getting mad girls and stuff because now he's
• 9:39
  like super inept to what's going on around.
• 9:41
  Him. I don't think I've seen this
• 9:42
  movie. It's a really good movie.
• 9:43
  You would love it. Actually, I don't know if you
• 9:45
  would love it, but you would maybe just watch it.
• 9:47
  But he got smart and shit. Yeah, because now he, he's like
• 9:51
  able to access the other part of your, your brain.
• 9:53
  Because I think the statistic is like as humans we only use like
• 9:56
  10% of it. Yeah, it's kind of a crazy
• 9:58
  number. I you only use 10% of your
• 10:01
  brain. Or some shit on this drug.
• 10:02
  Basically, let's say he like, let's say I like looked at this
• 10:06
  tremendous Budweiser can right here and I I'm like looking at
• 10:10
  the font, my brain's not absorbing that shit.
• 10:12
  But in the movie like he would. Did you feel?
• 10:15
  Like a drug would be like that. Do you feel that way when you?
• 10:17
  Took that no, in fact he's a complete opposite.
• 10:20
  I like was we woke up and I was literally like, Oh no, it's
• 10:23
  still like kind of I got to wake up really hard right now.
• 10:28
  So we started driving and yeah, just totally drama free drive.
• 10:33
  We got there. Our accommodations were none.
• 10:37
  You drove straight there. Yeah, he tanked it through.
• 10:40
  It was crazy. It was crazy.
• 10:41
  Frankie you. Drove straight through he.
• 10:43
  Drove straight through you. Would be so proud of me.
• 10:45
  Dude, 15 hours he was. Getting a little weird, no?
• 10:49
  No, no, he was fine all. Right.
• 10:50
  That's good. None.
• 10:51
  We had a iPad set up in the center console.
• 10:53
  It was sick. Oh.
• 10:53
  Yeah, if you give me water, coffees and and a solid pack of
• 10:59
  cigarettes. I smoked a full pack going down.
• 11:01
  That's pretty good. Like that shit alone I'll pretty
• 11:05
  much drive for. Surprise you didn't smoke more
• 11:07
  than that, honestly. We smoked 4 packs of cigarettes
• 11:09
  that entire weekend. I was there all weekend.
• 11:11
  I don't know what was with everybody this weekend.
• 11:13
  Almost everybody had cigarettes. I loved it but.
• 11:16
  Cigarettes are coming back. Gang, we got to stop, slow down.
• 11:19
  Cigarettes are coming back. They're awesome.
• 11:20
  They're good for you. Yeah, compared to the plastic
• 11:23
  Dick, which is this? Yeah, they're done.
• 11:25
  The robot Dick, They're done with that.
• 11:26
  Shit, we're done smoking the plastic Dick.
• 11:28
  Back to cancer baby. But so we pulled up we, we are
• 11:32
  all fully into sleep camping wise, but you guys were outside.
• 11:37
  Oh my God, Frankie, this is probably like the third time
• 11:40
  I've camped in my life. Really.
• 11:42
  Yeah. How terrified?
• 11:44
  How? How bad was it?
• 11:45
  It was kind of interesting. The second night was pretty bad
• 11:48
  because it was raining and it was mad cold.
• 11:51
  It was like 40 dude. It was freezing and thankfully
• 11:54
  Ethan let us borrow his tent. We broke his tent too.
• 12:00
  Dude the zipper broke and they like ended up having to like in
• 12:02
  the middle of the night like just like cut some slits on it
• 12:04
  and then just like zip tie. So you guys camped the whole
• 12:07
  time? Do you usually camp there?
• 12:09
  No, we usually get like a, B, MB keep it.
• 12:11
  Cool, keep it casual at this time, since there was one, there
• 12:14
  was no, not that I have one, but like there was no significant
• 12:18
  others. There was no so you're like
• 12:21
  fucked. There's no kids, there's no
• 12:22
  family that that like or like just the people that went in our
• 12:28
  car were totally fine with camping, with just fucking
• 12:32
  dehawing it. And then it ended up happening
• 12:35
  where everyone else started dehawing it.
• 12:37
  So Brad from Texas, you know, Brad also slept in his trailer.
• 12:43
  Bryson was there, also slept in his trailer.
• 12:46
  Diego was there, who is freshly married and his wife just said,
• 12:49
  you know what, I'm not going to go.
• 12:50
  So that means he's sleeping in the trailer too, friend Bailey.
• 12:54
  He was the only one with the Airbnb and so.
• 12:55
  You guys are partying all night. He was offering, No not really.
• 12:58
  He was offering his house or BNB.
• 13:00
  As for showers, which is great. Shout out Bailey and.
• 13:06
  It's only a matter of time before they have fucking showers
• 13:08
  on at the track. Probably like.
• 13:09
  Oh yeah, no, I had a shower. He did.
• 13:13
  It was. Oh yeah, I heard about this.
• 13:15
  Dude, I, I wanted to put it in my YouTube video, but I was
• 13:18
  like, somebody's going to be like this guy's holding his
• 13:20
  camera naked. You should have.
• 13:21
  Done it. Dude, it was so.

• 14:31
  So how do you have this, like shower set up?
• 14:33
  Like, is it, is it like a legit? Like it's like a tent almost,
• 14:37
  Yeah. OK, I thought it was kind of
• 14:38
  funny because it was camo. It was like.
• 14:41
  The weirdest thing to look at? It's just like an extended camo
• 14:45
  cone and you just see a hose go into a bucket of water.
• 14:49
  Yeah, and you'll like occasionally see it move, which
• 14:51
  is. Pumping out the water from the
• 14:52
  bucket. Yeah, it's like a little
• 14:54
  basically like a sump pump that's like USBC charged.
• 14:57
  It's good. And like I only charged it once
• 14:59
  and it lasted for everybody that entire weekend.
• 15:02
  We dumped the thing in a 5 gallon bucket and thinking back
• 15:06
  on it now, we, we could have heated that water up a little
• 15:09
  better. I knew how you know when you put
• 15:11
  a a pool cover on and it's like a black pool cover and it like
• 15:14
  will heat the water. If we put a plastic bag like a
• 15:17
  garbage bag on it in the sun, it would have been prime, but it
• 15:22
  was definitely cold. So all I could think about is
• 15:24
  like, all right, I am David Goggins.
• 15:29
  But if you time it right, like the when I decided to take a
• 15:32
  shower, it was like toward the end of the day after I'm already
• 15:35
  all sweaty and like, I can like, a cold shower would be nice.
• 15:39
  Yeah. So that's when I hit it because
• 15:41
  I knew the water was going to be cold.
• 15:42
  I'd get a little drunk, get a little too hot.
• 15:44
  This is kind of. Like one of those things that's
• 15:46
  like, well, I'm either going to take a cold shower or I'm not
• 15:48
  going to shower, right? Now so I was just.
• 15:50
  Getting obliterated. And every time I'd feel a
• 15:52
  little, I'm going to take a shower.
• 15:54
  There was one day I took two showers.
• 15:55
  It's fire. Yeah.
• 15:56
  And then went right back on track.
• 15:58
  It was awesome man. So did you like camping more or
• 16:01
  did you like the Air BB more? It's pretty easy to say the
• 16:05
  Airbnb would be sick, but we just all didn't really spend
• 16:07
  that much money. It was pretty nice.
• 16:09
  I brought like, you know, I would try to cook when I can.
• 16:12
  I like cooking when it's in that environment because I feel like
• 16:16
  it's just raw as fuck like. Don't make that pasta in a pan.
• 16:21
  Yo. And I missed out on.
• 16:22
  It dude. I fell asleep.
• 16:24
  Then I feel like you got a BBQ if you're camping.
• 16:26
  It was. He was queuing.
• 16:27
  It was queuing. Yeah, we were queuing.
• 16:29
  Yeah, we were queuing. We're hooting in a hollering
• 16:32
  too, dude. Other people, other random
• 16:34
  people over there, Yeah. Not necessarily random, I feel
• 16:37
  like we all knew each other. Which was great, some sort of
• 16:39
  degree. I met like some new people and
• 16:41
  then like, but when you meet somebody new down there, it's
• 16:44
  almost like you almost you knew him.
• 16:45
  Already. Yeah, because he's a friend of a
• 16:47
  friend or something. And like what some stuff that we
• 16:52
  did there at night, what the first night literally we just
• 16:55
  like I got out of the truck and I said this to Sam too, because
• 16:59
  I was like good luck getting a hold of me when we get there.
• 17:02
  Just so you know you are not going to find me and I meant
• 17:07
  that I literally we parked unloaded and I was just.
• 17:11
  How many tires you bring? Technically 8 or 10.
• 17:14
  And that was fine. I ran through only. 6 I brought
• 17:17
  6 a lot OK. I mean, like the other ones were
• 17:20
  the scrubs I had from here. Yeah, and I gave 2 to my buddy
• 17:23
  Bailey because. You did a lot of drifting.
• 17:25
  I did at least 100 laps. Everybody did, laps were.
• 17:28
  Everybody did work and like, I feel like last year it was
• 17:30
  definitely more on the the crash fest side, yeah, but comparing
• 17:34
  it to this year, I feel like everybody was kind of on the
• 17:36
  same page as far as wanting to progress and be aggressive.
• 17:40
  But crashing isn't really that cool anymore.
• 17:43
  Yeah. Do you think a lot of it had it?
• 17:46
  Well, we could do talk about your specific situation, but
• 17:49
  everyone else is too. Do you think it had a lot to do
• 17:51
  with your car set up or do you think you're just better as a
• 17:53
  driver this year and then you were before?
• 17:55
  I feel like I was doing things different this year that I
• 17:59
  typically wouldn't have behind the wheel only because I was
• 18:03
  like, I wanted to try. Like I was having fun trying.
• 18:08
  Like I was like, this is literally so fucking fun.
• 18:11
  Yeah, I know you changed your car a bunch.
• 18:13
  So yeah, I did change the car a bunch, yeah, and it helped a lot
• 18:16
  when you would like dip a tire or like you're inside a little
• 18:20
  bit and the front one hits one. Of those, it's not grabbing the
• 18:22
  whole. Frame it's not grabbing anything
• 18:23
  dude. My whole kid stayed on the car.
• 18:25
  Yeah. And almost all of those photos.
• 18:27
  My car has a kid. On Yeah, your car didn't really
• 18:30
  seem like anyone was crashing, no.
• 18:31
  No, I only crashed Brad, which was pretty bad because in my
• 18:37
  mind it was bad because I had like 5 people behind me and I
• 18:41
  was car 2. That was scary.
• 18:44
  Oh my God, we're we're driving. I'm going to see if I could.
• 18:47
  Where should I send this Malcolm?
• 18:50
  I don't know. Ah, fuck it.
• 18:51
  I'll just we'll just, we'll just talk about it.
• 18:52
  I'll just describe it. Or e-mail.
• 18:55
  E-mail for a fucking I'm I'm going to send.
• 18:57
  This on a pigeon. Yeah, send it.
• 18:59
  We're we're going through the middle of mid pawn, which is a
• 19:02
  long sweeper to the left going regular.
• 19:05
  So it's this really long straight, kind of where you're
• 19:07
  almost straightening up and then you flick to like almost like a
• 19:10
  not like a full 180. You would love it.
• 19:13
  You would love that part. It feels so streety.
• 19:16
  But we're coming up. I'm on I'm I'm in car 2.
• 19:21
  Hobby is car 3, Mitch who our buddy who has AE46 is car four
• 19:27
  and then our buddy Bailey is car 5 who's not drifting.
• 19:30
  He just happens to be driving. And then like I'm really close
• 19:36
  to Brad and I know Brad enough where I know he's never going to
• 19:40
  live even if he feels something like on the corner.
• 19:44
  So like, I'm close and I'm like really close.
• 19:47
  And then all of a sudden, like Brad told me his coupler ripped,
• 19:51
  which kind of does make sense, but I still think it was my
• 19:53
  fault. Like I was a little too close.
• 19:56
  And if I was just a little further back, like a couple
• 19:58
  inches back, maybe when his car like hit that little D cell, I
• 20:01
  would have been able to like, yeah, pull back maybe or hit the
• 20:05
  brake or something. And then car 3, which is James,
• 20:08
  shout out James, another one of our other best friends, Fucking
• 20:11
  just fully crash avoidance alert 1,000,000.
• 20:16
  OK, He just like turns the wheel and.
• 20:19
  Because I got back on the gas and fully spin because after I
• 20:22
  hit him it bounced back. So he slowed down, you hit him.
• 20:25
  Brad slowed down, I hit him, it threw the front opposite.
• 20:28
  I got back on the gas so that it would spin all the way.
• 20:31
  And then James, like, swerved around me and so did Mitch and
• 20:35
  so did Bailey. Bailey was actually laughing in
• 20:37
  his fucking car, which is hilarious.
• 20:38
  So it worked out. It worked out.
• 20:40
  And I was like, Oh my God. So it actually threw you off to
• 20:43
  the point where you were going to spin.
• 20:44
  It it launched my car the opposite direction.
• 20:47
  Screw your front end, yeah? It was just the wheel, nothing
• 20:50
  else contact, like no body parts, none of the kit came off.
• 20:54
  I literally hit it and just flew around.
• 20:56
  It was so cool. And then like, aside from that,
• 21:00
  really there wasn't anything bad.
• 21:02
  Yeah, James, like, backed it up into the corner like I did last
• 21:06
  year, but he's in way better spirits about it than me.
• 21:10
  He's like, already ready to fix. It he's.
• 21:13
  Looking up like how to fix it. People are telling him how to
• 21:15
  fix it. James is a lot more like eager
• 21:17
  to do that. What Car is that?
• 21:18
  It's AE36. When I crashed, I just, I wanted
• 21:22
  to give up so badly dude, because I just painted the car.
• 21:25
  You literally just pulled that shit straight too.
• 21:27
  You're like, fuck it, we're going again.
• 21:29
  Yeah. But this time, like I feel like
• 21:33
  there were some parts where it got kind of like I'm throwing
• 21:36
  the car and I'm a little uncomfortable because we're
• 21:38
  going to crash, but instead I'm just on the gas.
• 21:41
  Like I'm a lot more comfortable, like trying to fix it if we were
• 21:45
  going to die, but which we weren't, like, you know, and I'm
• 21:49
  not the greatest driver, but I definitely felt a lot more
• 21:51
  comfortable this year. Like you look a lot more
• 21:54
  comfortable. We did reverse and we're
• 21:56
  reverse. We were giving our I was giving
• 21:59
  my one friend Haley a fucking ride and I couldn't see the sun.
• 22:02
  The sun was blocking my. It was beaming.
• 22:04
  It was so bright and I was like, I'm going to crash this shit.
• 22:09
  But like on no cheesy bullshit, when you put my car in the
• 22:12
  third, there is a sound that it makes where it's like, yeah, I'm
• 22:16
  ready to fucking get clutch kicked right now.
• 22:19
  So then that's what I waited for.
• 22:20
  It did it. We're flying the sun like is
• 22:23
  gets behind the trees just enough and I'm like, Oh yeah,
• 22:25
  there's the corner. Fuck right in a second.
• 22:28
  It was so fun, dude. You would.
• 22:31
  I don't know if Frank, you think Frankie would like it.
• 22:32
  The track. No just it.
• 22:35
  I feel like he would need to break away and do a hike like
• 22:37
  midday. Yeah, I think you would
• 22:39
  definitely need like a social recharge.
• 22:41
  Yeah, because there's a there's a lot going on.
• 22:43
  It's just tightly packed and it's not like the organizers
• 22:47
  fault, it's just kind of the way that the track.
• 22:48
  How many drivers are they usually there at these things?
• 22:50
  I think this year was like 58 or almost 6 it.
• 22:53
  Was almost 60 and those pits are really tiny.
• 22:55
  Yeah. So I mean, as far like
• 22:58
  everybody's kind of on top of each other, but we're also
• 23:00
  aware. It was a small 60 dude by the
• 23:02
  end of the week and I thought I knew everybody there.
• 23:04
  That is true. I was like holy shit this is so
• 23:06
  cool. That's a lot.
• 23:07
  It's 60 cars is a lot of cars. It really felt.
• 23:10
  Like for something small. Dude, it felt like drift stock.
• 23:13
  And if you listen to this, Diego, you coined that.
• 23:15
  I'm going to say, what the fuck is Drift stock?
• 23:17
  It was just like we were waking up and drifting and going to bed
• 23:20
  still talking about drifting. Oh, I see.
• 23:23
  It was literally woke up, go to bed, drift.
• 23:26
  It was all drifting. Now I don't even want to drift.
• 23:28
  I'm like, Oh my God. I'm so I'm kind of good on that.
• 23:31
  I'm chill. For a bit that.
• 23:32
  Was such a fun. Cool.
• 23:34
  Yeah, dude, that's a lot of. Driving in one weekend, like,
• 23:36
  yeah, that's a lot. It takes a lot out of you for
• 23:39
  sure. How's your body feeling after
• 23:40
  that shit? It took me two days to recover.
• 23:42
  I'm good. Now like you know how sometimes
• 23:44
  like your arm be hurting the views that.
• 23:46
  Yo Bailey and me experienced this because I swear to God I
• 23:50
  got like tendonitis. You got that pump like.
• 23:53
  Like fucking grabbing that shit. Yeah, but obviously about that
• 23:56
  many laps that you did, oh, that's a lot.
• 23:58
  It sucks. Yeah, dude, there was, but we
• 24:01
  didn't even talk about the accommodations.
• 24:02
  OK, we pulled up, I start drinking all this and that in
• 24:05
  the 3rd going down. Dude, I had the cot fully open.
• 24:09
  In the back. In the back while we were moving
• 24:11
  OK, and it was sick, like Kenny took a nap, Sam took a nap.
• 24:15
  They were just exchanging, taking naps.
• 24:17
  And like, it was honestly, it looked sick.
• 24:21
  It was. I wish I was back there.
• 24:23
  Like I'd be driving and I'm like, Oh my God.
• 24:25
  Like I can't even see him sleeping.
• 24:27
  It was all. Adults in one coil 4 it fit 3
• 24:30
  media guys gear. Two guys in the back ever
• 24:32
  cuddling. 3 media. It might be 3 media people's
• 24:36
  gear sleeping stuff, a cooler OK like we had a lot of.
• 24:41
  Stuff, Yeah. Seats, chairs, all of this, that
• 24:44
  and the third. My tools.
• 24:45
  Extra parts. Imagine you had a little thing
• 24:47
  on. The I was trying to buy one
• 24:48
  beforehand. I was trying to buy 1 so bad
• 24:51
  beforehand. Do you still have that shit?
• 24:53
  Yeah, you should have. I would have gave it to you.
• 24:55
  Yeah, it's just sitting on this fucking thing.
• 24:58
  Damn that would have been like even easier.
• 25:01
  Next trip, Next trip you're going.
• 25:03
  Yeah, but you're coming it out. Yeah, yo, Malcolm, you're.
• 25:06
  Coming to that one, dude, it was so freaking awesome.
• 25:09
  Like you guys would love it. Mainly because you can choose
• 25:12
  whatever the fuck you want to do.
• 25:13
  If you don't want to hang out with anybody, you can choose I.
• 25:15
  Need a car if I'm going not. Hang out with everybody.
• 25:17
  Yeah, you got. AZ.
• 25:18
  Yeah, the Z would be perfect there.
• 25:20
  Yeah, our one buddy Bryson, his father, Shannon, he's driving AZ
• 25:23
  all weekend, ripping. Dude Bryson's parents are so
• 25:27
  awesome man. How does 2 of the greatest
• 25:30
  people produce such a shit child?
• 25:34
  How? Oh my God.
• 25:36
  Dude I'm just kidding, I love Bryson too.
• 25:37
  He was having such a hard time all weekend.
• 25:39
  Bro I feel so bad. As far I kept catching on fire.
• 25:42
  Dude, it was crazy. We were, me and Kenny were in
• 25:45
  the car, right? And, and I'm I got high because
• 25:48
  we were catching up to Bryson and I was like, Oh yeah, we're
• 25:50
  fucking. Crash this motherfucker.
• 25:52
  And then we pull up and, you know, promise to Bryson because
• 25:57
  he knew exactly what to do, started to smoke up.
• 26:01
  He threw that shit in the grass so quickly.
• 26:04
  It was smoking up bad, yeah. Dude.
• 26:07
  Like. Pouring smoke, like it looked
• 26:10
  like a fire had already happened.
• 26:11
  And then when he threw it in the grass, maybe the wind maybe blew
• 26:15
  it out. But then as soon as me and Kenny
• 26:17
  are rolling up to him, I'm like grab it.
• 26:19
  Like like Kenny was already on, like going to go for it.
• 26:22
  I'm like, grab the extinguisher now, like grabs it.
• 26:24
  I run out. We walk over, Bryson already
• 26:26
  puts a fire out so that I do a little lap around the track to
• 26:29
  make sure there's no oil on it. You know, because like, last
• 26:32
  thing you want is like a random oil spot and then nobody knows
• 26:34
  it's there. And then it's like, oh, fuck.
• 26:36
  So then nothing was there. It was literally all just on the
• 26:39
  side already by the time Bryson hucked it over.
• 26:41
  And that happened five times. What was it?
• 26:44
  Power steering line, chase base, power steering line and like oil
• 26:48
  line. Yeah, going on the exhaust or
• 26:50
  some shit. Maybe.
• 26:51
  Vibration. You know he needs he needs a
• 26:54
  fashion Motorsports turbo line kit maybe would save him or a
• 26:57
  power. Don't you guys have a power
• 26:59
  steering line kit? Too, I do have one.
• 27:01
  Yeah, we need to he's. Got so he's got a regular SRS 13
• 27:05
  or something, yeah. Dude that sucked.
• 27:07
  I was like, I feel bad. And it sucked too, because when
• 27:10
  you're having a good time and you see your one buddy who's
• 27:13
  just like, fuck, I'm working on this and I got to work on this.
• 27:16
  Someone's always. Got to have a bad time when
• 27:18
  you're out. I know that's what I said.
• 27:19
  I was like at the sacrifice of Bryson and Brad because Brad ran
• 27:23
  into some shit too. We all had an amazing time.
• 27:28
  That sucks. Limitless Auto Fab is a
• 27:32
  fabrication shop and retailer located in Illinois.

  They produce bash bars and catch cans for a bunch of popular
• 27:37
  models in the drifting community.
• 27:39
  Limitless bash bars are honestly the industry standard right now.
• 27:42
  Fabricated from 1 1/2 inch mild steel tube, these bars are
• 27:45
  designed to take the impact of light collisions in order to
• 27:48
  avoid or minimize damage to your vehicle.
• 27:50
  A must have for drift cars, their bars also come with

  jacking points and optional license plate brackets so

  This podcast is sponsored by Ramstead MFG.
• 28:25
  They sell an easy to use wheel fitment tool that is a massive
• 28:28
  game changer for any shop or enthusiast looking for an easy
• 28:31
  way to check their wheel fitment.
• 28:33
  With their user friendly tool you can check a diameter with an
• 28:36
  offset before you buy your wheels.
• 28:38
  Gone are the days of ordering wheels and hoping that your math
• 28:41
  was correct. Just throw their tool on your
• 28:42
  wheel hub and dial in your specs to see if your dream wheel
• 28:45
  clears your coilover and fenders before committing to the
• 28:48
  purchase. Not only can you check wheel
• 28:50
  fill in with their tool, you can use it to check suspension
• 28:52
  clearance as well. This is really great for
• 28:54
  Drifters who are always changing wheel lock and adding angle to
• 28:57
  their setups. Now you can see if those new
• 28:59
  suspension arms or tie rods will clear your wheels at full lock
• 29:02
  before going out and destroying your new wheels.
• 29:05
  Another feature is that you can use two of these tools together
• 29:08
  to measure track width from the wheel center line.
• 29:11
  About 20% of RAM sets customers purchase 2 tools at once so they
• 29:14
  can measure track width for various wheel and suspension
• 29:17
  setups. I recommend this product to the
• 29:19
  everyday enthusiast and most importantly shop owners that
• 29:21
  need a way to size wheels for customers so that they know they
• 29:24
  are getting the right specs before ordering a brand new set
• 29:27
  of wheels. To get more info, head on over
• 29:28
  to ramsteadmfg.com and if you'd like to purchase their Wheel
• 29:32
  Fitment Tool Pro, we are now carrying them in store at
• 29:34
  Faction Motorsports and Faction motorsports.com.
• 29:38
  But yeah, Bryson's parents are awesome, Shannon and Stacy.
• 29:42
  Stacy is his mom. His mom is such a such a cute
• 29:46
  woman breast. She'd just be talking, helping
• 29:48
  out, cleaning up, doing just doing mom stuff.
• 29:50
  Yeah. And then Shannon is just like
• 29:52
  off being worse than Bryson. Like he's the kid.
• 29:54
  He literally did like at least a million laps.
• 29:56
  Dude, he was a race car. Driver, He was just gone.
• 29:58
  Really, he was a straight race car driver this week and you can
• 30:01
  tell him nothing. Yeah, so it's a drifting family
• 30:04
  now. I feel like Bryson gives him
• 30:06
  pointers and Shannon just loves having fun with it.
• 30:08
  You could. I feel like Shannon's just a.
• 30:10
  Fun time he's got AZ. Yeah, that's the right car to
• 30:12
  have. It's got it's AZ with like
• 30:16
  origin arrow and oh sick this that and the third.
• 30:19
  I don't think the handbrake works which sucks but now when
• 30:21
  he gets a handbrake. Bro imagine Shannon with a
• 30:23
  handbrake. Crazy would be fire.
• 30:25
  I noticed the handbrake is fucking kind of far back on AZ I
• 30:30
  think. They get them little like.
• 30:31
  Extensions. Yeah, you're.
• 30:32
  Going to have to make one of those I guess.
• 30:34
  Yeah, I was thinking about that. I was like if I could make a
• 30:36
  cool looking extension and sell it that would be cool.
• 30:39
  Dude, But day one was like so rainy and cold and shit.
• 30:42
  It was like actually kind of nice because then you were able
• 30:44
  to like kind of ease into it. I was like, Oh my God, like I
• 30:47
  actually don't know how to drift fuck.
• 30:49
  And then then it rained for real and it was like.
• 30:51
  Was it 3 days? Yeah.
• 30:54
  It rained for real, and then we were all just like rain dancing.
• 30:56
  Well, I guess your car is good because it didn't break in three
• 30:58
  days of constant drifting. That's damn right.
• 31:01
  Yeah, and Frankie was giving me shit for warming up my diff.
• 31:03
  For real? Yeah, let's talk about this.
• 31:06
  He was. You don't like that?
• 31:07
  I just don't understand it. I think it's good.
• 31:10
  Jeff Stoneback blew up his diff at or whatever at at special
• 31:15
  stage and guess what? Because he didn't warm that
• 31:17
  shit. If they warm, if they put up the
• 31:18
  car and put it in gear and just saw everything, I'm not just
• 31:21
  warming up the diff. I'm looking down there and
• 31:23
  seeing if anything's doing anything weird, like stuff like
• 31:27
  that. And then I'll go out on the
• 31:29
  track and then guess what? When I go on the track, I'll do
• 31:31
  a bunch of little shit like this, making my moves, move
• 31:34
  around and shit. Like I'm just like, this is
• 31:36
  uncomfortable but it feels all right.
• 31:38
  Don't get the fucking. Moving around, it was, it was
• 31:41
  nuts. It was good to feel the car out.
• 31:42
  You just have to make sure that it was good.
• 31:44
  I did that. I wanted to take that part
• 31:46
  seriously. Like I was like, I am not losing
• 31:49
  a wheel. I'm not.
• 31:51
  I'm not. That's a good reason to do what
• 31:52
  you did. Running out of gas.
• 31:54
  I'm not losing any arms. Arms aren't Bolts aren't going
• 31:57
  to fly out of my shit. I checked everything.
• 32:00
  Yeah. And I did find some stuff that
• 32:02
  was loose, like my upper arms, the little lock nut was loose.
• 32:04
  I was like, all right, I'm going to tighten that.
• 32:06
  How was your you? Just kind of align it yourself.
• 32:11
  Did you align it or did you just kind of like?
• 32:13
  Say fuck it, align what the Oh, the arm.
• 32:16
  I just made it kind of the same as the I like line the arms up
• 32:20
  and just made them the same length and then slapped it in
• 32:22
  there. You do toe or you just left it?
• 32:24
  I the toe did not, I did not touch any of that.
• 32:27
  And then what? After I bumped Brad, I bent that
• 32:29
  tie rod and I just I was maxed it out and hit one of these.
• 32:34
  It was straight, it was good. I took it right out immediately
• 32:37
  and I was like reverse too. So I was like damn, I'm not
• 32:39
  missing I feel like. Drifting, you can just feel the
• 32:41
  car out with the alignment. I know we have an alignment shop
• 32:44
  here. I did like two turns and then
• 32:46
  I'm like, oh, OK, this is good. And then it whatever.
• 32:51
  So then we did all that. Day 2 was sweet because then now
• 32:55
  everybody like people who are late are rolling in.
• 32:58
  Our friend Derrick on the bicycle come this time.
• 33:00
  No, no, he. No, he was busy.
• 33:01
  He seems to have been busy this weekend.
• 33:03
  That was the. Best part of the last year's
• 33:05
  story? What Derrick pointed up during
• 33:08
  the drivers. Yeah, it was.
• 33:11
  Pretty good VQ and you're like motherfucker, no way.
• 33:16
  No, he didn't pull up this time. He drove all the way down.
• 33:20
  There there was like there was like other heroes though.
• 33:24
  OK. First one wabi S13 on Instagram
• 33:28
  Montana is. Montana.
• 33:30
  His his real name is Montana. Oh, I thought he came from
• 33:33
  Montana. I'm like, what?
• 33:34
  That. Would be crazy, no?
• 33:35
  I think his his name being Montana is cooler than him
• 33:37
  coming from Montana, Yeah. Anyway, Wabi is a Wheeler and he
• 33:42
  was dude days leading up to it. Dude, it was looking like I was
• 33:47
  like, Oh my God, he's not going to drive.
• 33:50
  And he's part of drift team Mitsudo Where?
• 33:51
  And if you know anything about Mitsudo, you can't peel these
• 33:54
  guys off of a racetrack. If there's a track and there's
• 33:56
  time to drive, they're going to be driving.
• 33:58
  Where are they from? Also Georgia.
• 34:00
  OK so him and their other team mates Static Luke were building
• 34:06
  their cars. Bobby has a S13 hatch that he
• 34:11
  was putting together the entire time, like fixing the body.
• 34:15
  I did say that it was fucked up on the last podcast, but it's
• 34:18
  not that fucked up. Bobby, my car is way.
• 34:19
  More fucked up. Why did you say that?
• 34:22
  It was kind of the the back of it was like beer canned out but
• 34:25
  he fixed it and my car looks way worse.
• 34:27
  His car is so nice. Like I feel like such a Dick
• 34:30
  that I even said that. But that wasn't even the hard
• 34:34
  part. The hard part was he was running
• 34:36
  into like this issue where he fried an ECU for his S13 and
• 34:39
  then like literally days coming up to the event, he switched
• 34:43
  from normal fueling to E85. That's like, I don't know shit
• 34:47
  about that. Then something weird with the
• 34:51
  wiring harness wasn't giving the right signal or anything like
• 34:53
  that. I'm definitely butchering this
• 34:55
  but he was just running into these issues and then on
• 34:59
  Saturday I think he just pulls up or Friday night he just pulls
• 35:02
  up and I'm like Oh my God let's fucking go 'cause then static
• 35:06
  Luke also pulled up because he sold his GS300, took the one J
• 35:11
  out of it, put it in S13 and literally 2 weeks before the
• 35:15
  event the S 13 wasn't even driving yet.
• 35:17
  Like that's AI think or like. Pretty much, yeah.
• 35:21
  I He kind of just slapped it together overnight, painted it
• 35:23
  and painted. It too painted it too.
• 35:25
  It showed up painted. I was so confused.
• 35:27
  The car pulled up and static is just and I'm like who is this?
• 35:34
  And I look in the car and it's. It's static and I'm like to.
• 35:36
  The pond is like a final bout event, like everyone just
• 35:38
  getting shit together and making it work.
• 35:40
  Yeah, because now the rest of the season, you know, your shit
• 35:43
  is good. Yeah.
• 35:44
  You're like, I just worked. We made the deadline.
• 35:47
  We have cars and they're good to drive now.
• 35:49
  Yeah. It was sweet, man.
• 35:51
  It was just like the energy of being around everybody was just
• 35:55
  electric. And like, those are the kids we
• 35:56
  talk with every other day. Like Hobby was meeting people.
• 35:59
  We would talk on the Internet. Yeah, with everyday.
• 36:03
  It does remind me of fun about the stories you guys say about
• 36:05
  this. Event dude sugar.
• 36:06
  Later we got to reach Sugi. Oh my God, we met.
• 36:09
  This guy named Sugi on the Internet and he's the sweetest
• 36:13
  dude. He's so cool, so fun.
• 36:14
  He's a drifter. Yeah, they came from Florida so
• 36:16
  fast with Boo. Yeah.
• 36:18
  Boo in Florida? Yeah, that's cool.
• 36:19
  Believe. Their team is like.
• 36:21
  Team hot shit. Team hot shit.
• 36:24
  They're moving. They be moving on the track.
• 36:26
  Dude, Sugi is nice and we got to we got to get laughs with
• 36:29
  basically I was trying to get laughs with like all of our
• 36:31
  friends. I didn't get all of them, but
• 36:34
  like a few of us got. What was the longest train 5
• 36:36
  cars? Oh, I couldn't.
• 36:38
  Like 3 or 4 successfully. The track is small.
• 36:41
  Yeah, dude, Diego wanted to do a Super Dante through there and I
• 36:45
  was like, Oh my God, don't do that.
• 36:48
  Yeah, there's a lot of cars on track at the same time.
• 36:51
  That was cool to see. I think there's the most I've
• 36:54
  seen is probably 8. Wow.
• 36:56
  Yeah, and it was controlled 8, but when I see that there was 8,
• 37:02
  I got off. I was like there is way too many
• 37:05
  cars on here. Something just waiting for
• 37:07
  something to go wrong. Yeah, like I was just knowing
• 37:09
  me. I'm just like, I don't, I
• 37:10
  wouldn't notice something is going on and then just fuck
• 37:13
  something up, yeah. No, it looks sounds like it went
• 37:16
  well, man. It was so fucking fun, dude.
• 37:18
  It was it. It's, I don't know if that was
• 37:21
  probably the feeling that you're getting from your final bout.
• 37:24
  Reminisce sounds like it what you're talking about right now.
• 37:26
  Dude, yeah, because people were. We didn't win shit.
• 37:28
  Nobody wins anything. There's no competition there.
• 37:30
  None. Yeah, at all.
• 37:32
  You just, yeah, you just go there and just like.
• 37:36
  Well, you're saying you meet, you met everyone from the
• 37:38
  Internet. It's the same shit.
• 37:39
  Kind of, yeah. It felt like an acetal lobby.
• 37:42
  Yeah, it did feel kind of like an acetal lobby.
• 37:45
  Yeah, no, that's. Exciting.
• 37:46
  It was so fun dude. Oh my God.
• 37:48
  Fun enough where kind of want to live down there.
• 37:52
  Yeah, Alabams. But The thing is, so Carl said
• 37:54
  this when he got here. But The thing is, Carl also says
• 37:56
  this every time he comes back from from a trip.
• 37:58
  But this is a little different I feel like.
• 38:00
  From a trip too, honestly. Because you came back from Japan
• 38:03
  and you said the same thing. My lease is coming up.
• 38:05
  Yeah, realistically. Come on, wake up, Carl.
• 38:06
  You're not buying a house in Japan right now.
• 38:08
  But really, realistically, I got to find somewhere to live by the
• 38:11
  end of the fucking year, and it might be fucking Georgia, so.
• 38:13
  I'm pretty sold on Georgia too. Yeah, dude.
• 38:15
  And we got Brad. Dude, Brad is sold on Georgia
• 38:17
  too. It's up.
• 38:19
  It's up if. You if you commit, then he's
• 38:21
  going to go. Well, no, I said.
• 38:23
  Dude, you're. Going to be the first one to
• 38:24
  commit. I'm going to be before anyway.
• 38:25
  Well, you know people down there anyway.
• 38:27
  Yeah. If Brad moves, that solidifies
• 38:29
  it for me. Me and Brad.
• 38:31
  Fuck we going to do. Malcolm is going to be me and
• 38:32
  you in here. I'm going to if you ship me one
• 38:34
  of these mics I'll proxy in or just let me know what kind of
• 38:38
  mic this is I'll. Fly you up here every.
• 38:40
  Week, would that be chill? Would you as the listeners, if
• 38:42
  you're listening to this, would that be all right?
• 38:44
  Like if I fucking just do a podcast remotely and just break
• 38:47
  the rules for that? But dude, it was so fun.
• 38:50
  Like all of our friends, all the people that I meet down there,
• 38:53
  I'm like, God damn, this is. I just looked at the questions
• 38:55
  real quick. Holy shit.
• 38:56
  There's a lot. Yeah.
• 38:57
  All right. So anyway, wrapping up day
• 38:59
  three, then we just like day three was even calmer because
• 39:01
  now the weather, weather was like perfect the rest of the
• 39:04
  weekend I would say. Yeah, day three was definitely
• 39:07
  the ideal day for like a weather.
• 39:08
  Yeah, it was so pretty out like. How?
• 39:11
  How hot is it? I think 70.
• 39:13
  Flat. Dude, Oh my God.
• 39:14
  I could. I could wear pants or I could
• 39:16
  there's. Joint down there.
• 39:17
  Fuck no, not when we were down there.
• 39:19
  It was sweet. Yeah, it's probably not.
• 39:20
  It was awesome, dude. And then, yeah, we're just
• 39:24
  grilling. I made spaghetti on the grill,
• 39:27
  dude. James's girlfriend, Grace is
• 39:29
  like the mother of us all. Thank God.
• 39:31
  Thankful for Grace. I'm cooking the spaghetti and I
• 39:36
  don't know why I thought I think she's the one who said that she
• 39:39
  heard me, but I was like amped because I was like, Oh my God,
• 39:43
  it's working like and I was just by myself.
• 39:46
  I'm like yo. It's working.
• 39:47
  It's cooking. That's what you don't want your
• 39:48
  chef to. You don't want to hear your chef
• 39:50
  say that I'm. Drunk as fuck.
• 39:51
  There's a grill in front of me and you're making me.
• 39:53
  I'm not making me. I'm making myself make pasta.
• 39:56
  I'm so I'm challenging the shit out of myself.
• 39:59
  I made this pasta. Ask it dude.
• 40:02
  Did I make that? Did you use them?
• 40:03
  No, I was sleeping. Fuck.
• 40:06
  Off always, damn it. No, it was night time though.
• 40:09
  It was like 11. And it was, it was cold out.
• 40:11
  So like the pasta was just steaming.
• 40:13
  The sauce was hot. Are there stars on there?
• 40:15
  It was fire. Yeah, dude, there was stars.
• 40:17
  It was a full moon the whole fucking weekend.
• 40:18
  It was sick. Damn man, first question, who's
• 40:22
  the best driver at faction? I'm gonna have to say you right
• 40:25
  now. Right me right now, me bro yeah,
• 40:27
  because I warm up the diff Yeah fucking.
• 40:31
  I'm definitely have to say Carl after seeing him drive,
• 40:33
  especially this weekend. Dude that was fun as.
• 40:35
  Fuck helmet paint tips, brother. Oh.
• 40:40
  That's really nice. Going to try on my old spare
• 40:43
  flames and webs. Question.
• 40:45
  Yes, dude. OK, so whoever who asked that
• 40:47
  one? DC de creepy.
• 40:50
  Word. OK listen to your DC you just
• 40:54
  need to clean the helmet a lot and then just hit that initial
• 40:57
  sand and depending on the texture of it, I like to prime
• 41:00
  it. And then when you prime it dude
• 41:02
  and you're layering the paint, don't be scared it's literally
• 41:05
  just paint you just layer the fuck out of it and if it looks
• 41:07
  like shit give it a little wipe off and then just start again.
• 41:11
  Every time I think talk about painting I'm just like, if you
• 41:13
  fuck it up you got to fucking hit that restart button, not all
• 41:16
  the. Time.
• 41:16
  There's a lot of things that you could do and like if you're
• 41:19
  going to do a helmet, my tip to you if is don't buy the fucking
• 41:24
  cans, don't do it with a can. Go to Harbor freight, buy the
• 41:29
  airbrush kit. It's like 40 bucks or 30 bucks.
• 41:32
  Or if you already have a compressor, get the little
• 41:34
  detail gun, the little 6 ounce detail gun.
• 41:36
  It's like 15 bucks. And now you can really focus in
• 41:40
  on like getting that fine, like atomization of the paint.
• 41:46
  So you get that those nice fades and you can make it heavy
• 41:49
  without throwing a lot of material on.
• 41:51
  And yeah. So every every painter does say
• 41:53
  that they're like don't do the cans shit no matter how good.
• 41:55
  Yeah, don't do the cans shit. It's it's going to look like
• 41:57
  shit if you try, but good luck. And if you what if you do do it,
• 42:03
  send me some pictures or something.
• 42:04
  And I'm not, I'm not an expert, but I'm just, I'll just get hype
• 42:06
  for you because we're all in it. This is a good one since you
• 42:11
  drove. What kind of media do you like
• 42:12
  seeing long slash short content? YouTube versus Instagram?
• 42:16
  I don't. Know you want to.
• 42:19
  I feel like right now it's kind of a race to push out whoever
• 42:24
  going to get the whoever can get whatever you shot out the first
• 42:28
  fastest. Yeah, Personally, I like a nice
• 42:32
  happy medium, like a two-minute, 3 minute video.
• 42:35
  I think that's good. I know you made a video for Pond
• 42:37
  and that was like. More That video was sick.
• 42:39
  It was good I watched it. But nine minute video.
• 42:41
  Did you watch that one quit? The the this pond.
• 42:44
  This just made a new one. You already.
• 42:46
  You made another one. See what I mean with the with
• 42:48
  the rain? Bro I can't I can't believe he
• 42:50
  makes videos every time he goes to the.
• 42:52
  Box in and it was like a good video.
• 42:54
  It was like a lot of my driving and like a lot of just having
• 42:57
  fun. Like I like clips where it shows
• 43:01
  the story of our entire journey. I've been trying to get better
• 43:04
  at like, trying to convey what's going on without being like, and
• 43:08
  now we're going to sleep in this tent like.
• 43:13
  Like not vlogging. Not vloggy, more like more like
• 43:18
  those older skate videos. That's exactly what I was
• 43:20
  thinking. Like if you pull up this one
• 43:22
  like thankfully there was AII truthfully didn't have a lot of
• 43:26
  time to record myself driving and and hobby's clips are for
• 43:29
  hobby's show, my show, but you. Watched filming the whole time
• 43:32
  too right? He was, and Kenny was, too.
• 43:34
  With film. With film, Yeah, he was shooting
• 43:38
  film. I got to watch your your latest
• 43:39
  one so the we'll. Watch at the end of this
• 43:41
  podcast, 'cause I'm going to make you watch it and 'cause it
• 43:43
  was really good. And then just save file 4 on
• 43:49
  Instagram. He sent me a Google Drive of
• 43:52
  like some rad clips and I was like, this is the only media I
• 43:57
  need to make a video. So I, I don't know if I did that
• 44:00
  wrong by like putting him in my video.
• 44:02
  I just made sure to give him credit for it.
• 44:03
  And I feel really shitty that it's not even my own clips.
• 44:07
  But dude, that guy or girl like recorded the fuck out of the the
• 44:11
  event. I love the clips that they had.
• 44:13
  And I got clips from SLO Bennett, who I also met on
• 44:17
  Instagram who's been a long time podcast listener, shout out SLO
• 44:20
  Bennett. And it was just like, it's just
• 44:22
  like, you just get what you get. I just slapped that shit all
• 44:25
  together. The only videos I have are like
• 44:27
  of James doing stupid shit like punching the camera like this.
• 44:30
  I was like, yo give me a funny clip now.
• 44:32
  So you you like more long form content then?
• 44:36
  Because that's considered long form at this point, right?
• 44:38
  I would say so. I like more intentional content.
• 44:41
  Yeah, not short. Little.
• 44:43
  No, I mean like I like the short stuff.
• 44:45
  You can kind of see when someone just slaps clips together and
• 44:49
  like a song and throw it out. I like the kind of video that
• 44:53
  Carl makes, but then you got to make a short version of that on
• 44:57
  Instagram, so people go. Fuck, I got to do one of those.
• 45:00
  I'll do that when I get home. I'll do that when I get home.
• 45:02
  I. Think that's a good combination,
• 45:04
  but. Dude, I used 3 crazy songs.
• 45:06
  I I used like I used like our lifestyles are the rich and the
• 45:12
  famous or maybe that Oh no that was the Instagram post.
• 45:15
  But then the next one I the next song I had like a dolph song,
• 45:18
  like a really like a Basie hip hop song.
• 45:21
  And then the last one I had Elvis Presley burning love.
• 45:23
  Malcolm's going to love. It like what bro?
• 45:25
  You just like that's me. We listen to everything going
• 45:30
  down. I'll tell you one thing, I like
• 45:31
  20 minute or less videos. Yeah, yeah.
• 45:34
  I can't do the the second I see 43 minutes, I'm like I'm out.
• 45:37
  No, I'm good. I'm not watching that.
• 45:39
  Yeah, mine is. So I guess mine is under 10.
• 45:41
  I try to keep him under 20. Yeah, but we listened to every
• 45:44
  genre, bro. Was the way down mad country
• 45:47
  music? I did.
• 45:48
  Oh yeah. I did shove country music down
• 45:50
  my throat. It was pause.
• 45:51
  I was trying to like get us ready to go down there.
• 45:54
  I was like, yo this is good stuff.
• 45:56
  How do you feel about country now?
• 45:58
  It's not bad, but man. You got, there's certain ones
• 46:01
  that you got to like, like, yeah.
• 46:02
  There's there's a few that I like, but there's a lot.
• 46:05
  I am just a seventies 80's rock guy and that's like what I like
• 46:09
  listening to in the car. Someone said why does Carl want
• 46:13
  to paint his car blue again when he's on the yellow fevers?
• 46:17
  Y'all thinking too hard? Yeah, you guys are.
• 46:19
  Yeah, dude, yellow is literally because we're Asian.
• 46:22
  That's it. The sickness, Yeah, don't.
• 46:25
  Get caught unless you're cute. Catch it if you want.
• 46:29
  Rate mid Rate mid pawn out of 10. 10.
• 46:35
  Damn. That shit is JDM as fuck.
• 46:39
  You want to go fucking have a you want to have JDM at home?
• 46:41
  Go drift that shit. It's literally so bumpy and like
• 46:43
  very fucking like the straight in the back you could hit.
• 46:47
  Dude, I was entering 6065. Wow.
• 46:49
  Yeah, you can go fast. Wow, that's pretty fast.
• 46:51
  Yeah, I have to look. I've looked at the video and
• 46:54
  looked at the number. It's like mid 3rd.
• 46:57
  I'm like. Any bongs at the pong?
• 47:01
  No, we would never do that shit. What we would never smoke at Mid
• 47:06
  Pond. Who would do that?
• 47:07
  Safe driving. Anything you would have done
• 47:12
  differently? Love the IS by the way.
• 47:14
  Brought a tarp for them for the ground.
• 47:16
  I would have bought more camping stuff and probably watched like
• 47:18
  a YouTube video on like how to camp.
• 47:20
  Yeah. Bro dude there was a generator
• 47:23
  right? Even Bryson's generator that was
• 47:26
  running would have taken a little heater.
• 47:29
  Yes. So if we just extension corded
• 47:32
  it into your tent, you would have had a heater?
• 47:34
  So that one night was pretty. Cool.
• 47:35
  That one night was brutal. 4040 and The thing is, is like I was
• 47:40
  sleeping in my truck so like I'm sealed and I'm pretty dry and I
• 47:45
  know they're outside and I I just, I felt so wrong like.
• 47:49
  I want to sit on a chair. I wanted to be like, just come
• 47:52
  into the truck and like we could all sleep together.
• 47:55
  But at that point they had this whole tent and like, it was late
• 47:58
  already. By the time I realized that
• 47:59
  shit, it was. It was bad.
• 48:01
  Did you get some? Stuff.
• 48:01
  I felt bad, yeah. Yeah.
• 48:04
  Like every hour. So I'd wake up and then.
• 48:06
  Shout out Bailey. Put myself in a cocoon again for
• 48:10
  the cots. Brought Kenny and I cots to
• 48:12
  sleep on 'cause like I said, I don't camp.
• 48:15
  Nothing nothing nothing. They camp the the cots so
• 48:19
  clutch. Because now they weren't off,
• 48:21
  they weren't on the ground. Bailey shout out.
• 48:24
  Bailey Thank you. Bailey, you fucking suck, but
• 48:26
  you're cool. What the?
• 48:28
  He just loves using. Bad language.
• 48:31
  You understand what you mean? Yeah, OK.
• 48:33
  You would love him. If we we're not going to do
• 48:35
  podcasts without, we'd have to bring Bailey.
• 48:38
  Yeah, Billy Pod would be. Twitch drip say why are you like
• 48:40
  this? Why am I like what?
• 48:43
  I fucking hold everything down there as as professionally as I
• 48:46
  can. Oh, something about you trailing
• 48:48
  or something? No, no, no, just just generally,
• 48:50
  I guess. Why am I like this?
• 48:51
  I don't fucking know, He. Said I hold everything
• 48:54
  professionally. Why am I like this?
• 48:57
  I don't know why I'm like this bro.
• 48:59
  What's the accuracy of the pod on the SIM?
• 49:03
  I'd like to Oh, pod, maybe, yeah, maybe.
• 49:06
  Yeah, I. Think it's a little skinnier?
• 49:09
  In real life or in the SIM? On the SIM.
• 49:11
  Oh, really? Yeah.
• 49:14
  I feel like, at least in real life, like in the SIM, my counts
• 49:19
  are like a second and a half earlier than when we were just
• 49:24
  at Pond. I think riding a car's car, I
• 49:27
  was like, what would it be like if I'm driving it and then just
• 49:30
  doing my counts and transition? I was like, oh, this would have
• 49:33
  been too early. This would have been too late.
• 49:35
  I feel like that's a bad way to think about it 'cause then
• 49:38
  you're like relying on it to be 1 to 1.
• 49:41
  I feel like the SIM mid pond is nice 'cause then you know the
• 49:45
  general shape of the track. Oh yeah, that's.
• 49:47
  Perfect. And then it's like after that
• 49:49
  you got to do everything else yourself.
• 49:51
  Like the bumps dude, The bumps alone will shake you up versus
• 49:58
  the SIM like. Because there's none of that
• 50:01
  bullshit in the. After turn 1 there's like this
• 50:04
  weird like Monji section and through there my car, I am in
• 50:08
  there going like this. Like every.
• 50:10
  Pump. I'm like, oh shit, like and and
• 50:14
  guess what, like you can't just stop drifting like you got cars
• 50:18
  behind you. So like the bumps are where
• 50:20
  you're missing in mid pond. But once you get like the you
• 50:23
  use it to get the little shape of like kind of figuring out
• 50:26
  like, Oh, I got to I know I'm going to have to make a left
• 50:28
  soon. So.
• 50:29
  And the lower the car is, the less suspension travel you have.
• 50:31
  Those bumps suck a lot. Oh dude, terrible.
• 50:33
  It's like upsets so much shit. Dude bad, but since I raised it
• 50:38
  up it's good. Yeah, I was going to say it
• 50:39
  probably felt a lot. Better.
• 50:40
  It felt perfect and under compression, it was just the
• 50:42
  full tire. It was literally what I wanted.
• 50:45
  It was like, right, Yeah. It looked, I actually, I saw
• 50:48
  this one clip and I was like the car looks like it's moving a lot
• 50:51
  better now. It used to look like it had so
• 50:54
  much body roll, but now it looks like it actually doesn't.
• 50:59
  If it's differ from. It definitely feels differ.
• 51:01
  Yeah. Oh well, I did the the springs
• 51:04
  in the front too so I did do that.
• 51:06
  I was like it actually looks better now.
• 51:08
  And the rear I might have, I don't know, maybe just it being
• 51:12
  like an inch taller. Yeah.
• 51:14
  But don't forget, since I raised the front, the idea is that it
• 51:17
  has a lot of the weight on the rear already, so that's why I
• 51:21
  don't know. Hmm, when is Carl getting AZN 6?
• 51:26
  Yeah, when? Who the fuck is asking that?
• 51:29
  I. Dalton I'm going to do ZN 6 as
• 51:34
  like a streetcar would be cool, but if I am actually going to
• 51:38
  move to Georgia, don't expect me to buy anything new anytime soon
• 51:40
  because I got to save a lot of money to move to Georgia.
• 51:43
  Going to drift topic, going to drift events not knowing anyone
• 51:47
  alone. PS Carl's new POD V8 video was
• 51:51
  kick ass. Dude, thank you.
• 51:53
  You guys are actually watching that shit already?
• 51:55
  That's awesome. Going to drift events not
• 51:57
  knowing anyone, slash alone question mark I guess.
• 52:01
  What like is if you were new new?
• 52:03
  Yeah, I guess so, Yeah. What do you?
• 52:05
  Think that'd be like today, I think.
• 52:07
  I would hate that. I wouldn't go, to be honest.
• 52:09
  I. Don't know if that's a good
• 52:11
  answer. No, I mean, that's real, but.
• 52:14
  I mean, honestly, like if I were to give anyone advice and like
• 52:18
  you don't know a lick of anyone there, I would just walk around
• 52:21
  the pits and kind of just start the small talk kind of plant to
• 52:24
  see like hey, cool car. Yeah, but.
• 52:27
  Then as the day goes on like. You don't want to cross this
• 52:29
  line where now you're the weird guy.
• 52:32
  Just. Don't bring a helmet.
• 52:33
  Don't. Be a helmet zombie.
• 52:34
  Yeah, yeah, don't be a helmet zombie.
• 52:36
  Just I'm. Just beat you.
• 52:37
  That's the best way to answer. Just meet everybody.
• 52:41
  Hey man, Try try, try to be. It's it's, it's like, it's like
• 52:46
  flirting, bro, but no flirting. Like.
• 52:48
  You don't want to, you don't want to be crowding them and
• 52:51
  like make it seem like, oh, I really want to be friends with
• 52:54
  you because I want to bang you like back up, back up a little
• 52:59
  bit. Maybe if like somebody crashes
• 53:02
  and like let's say you're doing media, somebody crashes, you're
• 53:04
  bringing them the bumper, that's a good way to break the ice.
• 53:06
  Yeah, like don't, don't be like, yo, can I get a ride along like
• 53:10
  right away? Like definitely.
• 53:11
  Don't do that. I've had so many fucking people
• 53:13
  ask me this. People hold up.
• 53:15
  My computer just froze. This podcast is sponsored by AG
• 53:18
  One Guys. Spring is finally here.
• 53:20
  Snow is melting, flowers are blooming, spring cleaning is in
• 53:23
  full effect, and the race tracks are prepping for a busy 2026
• 53:26
  season. There's no better time than now
• 53:28
  to take control of your health. One habit I'm recommending to
• 53:30
  everyone this season is AG1AG1 is the clinically backed daily
• 53:34
  health drink that combines A multivitamin, pre and
• 53:37
  probiotics, superfoods and antioxidants into one
• 53:40
  deliciously simple scoop. I've been taking AG1 for a few
• 53:43
  months now and notice improvements almost instantly.
• 53:45
  My gut health has never been better, and it's the easiest
• 53:47
  part of my morning routine. Just one scoop with eight to 12
• 53:50
  ounces of cold water is all it takes to keep you on the right
• 53:52
  path to improving your health. It also replaces the need for a
• 53:55
  multivitamin, which helps keep my morning routine super simple.
• 53:59

• 54:20
  We are super excited to be working with Wrecked Magazine.
• 54:23
  Wrecked has been capturing the best moments in drifting since
• 54:25
  the mid 2000s. After a long hiatus, they have
• 54:28
  recently been brought back from the dead with the best people in
• 54:31
  the industry leading the charge. The first couple issues have
• 54:34
  been nothing but amazing and after speaking with these guys I
• 54:36
  can tell you it's only going to get better.
• 54:38
  Now I won't lie, a print magazine being brought back to
• 54:41
  life in 2026 is pretty risky move.
• 54:44
  It's a dying industry with video content and social media
• 54:47
  flooding the market. But nothing beats to the
• 54:49
  nostalgic feeling of print. It's always been the best way to
• 54:51
  get a glimpse into the automotive scene that you're
• 54:53
  interested in. Automotive magazines were the
• 54:56
  reason some of us even got into cars.
• 54:57
  To this day I still have all my magazines from high school and
• 55:00
  it's so cool to be able to go back to see how the culture was
• 55:03
  during that specific time. And to have AUS based magazine
• 55:06
  that's just focused on drifting is unreal.
• 55:09
  They have tons of information in the first two issues that I've
• 55:11
  been reading through. Everything from event coverage,
• 55:14
  specific vehicle articles, driver profiles, shop tours,
• 55:17
  much more. Even the ads are cool.
• 55:20
  For more info or if you are looking to subscribe, head on
• 55:22
  over to wreckmagazine.com They got a bunch of other cool stuff
• 55:26
  on there as well. We are in the middle of trying
• 55:28
  to get some of these to sell here at the shop, so hopefully
• 55:30
  in the next few months we have them here to at least check out.
• 55:32
  Or if you want to purchase them, I.
• 55:35
  Don't know why. OK, I didn't do anything.
• 55:39
  Do you think it's still going? I don't know.
• 55:41
  Well, that's recording. So this is recording.
• 55:43
  All the audio still here but OK. So worst case scenario, worst
• 55:47
  case scenario, we lost the video and the live feed.
• 55:50
  I wonder what that person saying?
• 55:52
  Nah, Nah, cool. That was WAGS.
• 55:54
  God damn it wags but if I guess we just lost video or something
• 55:59
  but. I guess we'll just keep going,
• 56:00
  Malcolm, when you try to figure it out, yeah.
• 56:02
  Control alt deletes not even working.
• 56:05
  OK. We're just going to run through
• 56:07
  these questions and then, yeah, it's not a big deal because we
• 56:10
  still have the, we still have the video.
• 56:12
  Well, you think we might have a video?
• 56:14
  It's usually there. OK, like from like whatever.
• 56:18
  Up until that point it crashed. It's usually still there.
• 56:20
  I mean, at least we, you know, Javi is here, but at least we
• 56:22
  don't have a new fucking guest to yours, you know what I mean?
• 56:25
  Yeah. This is chill, I consider y'all
• 56:26
  my friends. I would hang out anyway.
• 56:28
  Thank you man, I appreciate that.
• 56:30
  Dude. But yeah, back to the old days.
• 56:34
  Just the audio. Yeah, just the audio I guess.
• 56:36
  Yeah. No, don't drifting and making
• 56:39
  friends. I don't even know how the why
• 56:42
  the fuck I have to explain this to be completely truthful with
• 56:44
  you. Like like, what the fuck are we
• 56:46
  doing? What?
• 56:47
  Go in there. Go make some fucking friends.

• 57:06
  to just go up to and talk to at an event.
• 57:08
  Just not to blow people your way lately, I'm just letting you
• 57:12
  know. Lately dude, I've had to be
• 57:14
  like. Yeah, I'm busy, bro.
• 57:16
  God damn get the fuck out of my face.
• 57:19
  Damn. OK, nevermind.
• 57:20
  Don't. Do that.
• 57:20
  It's like. Go to the discord. 1st just just
• 57:22
  know, like learn to read the room.
• 57:25
  Some of us drivers, we're just we're we're we're literally when
• 57:28
  I get out of my car and I'm I'm I, I just did a really sick run
• 57:32
  or, or had a fun session and I'm on a high don't.
• 57:36
  Yo, let me get a ride along. Yeah, let me get a ride along.
• 57:38
  I'm literally going to tell you kick the fuck, kick rocks, bro,
• 57:42
  because like, I'm literally on a high right now and you're
• 57:44
  ruining it. Get the fuck out of my zone.
• 57:46
  Yeah, I don't like the ride along thing unless you've
• 57:50
  already introduced yourself. We've talked before.
• 57:53
  This is it bro. Then then I'm like OK.
• 57:55
  Well, now, now we're crossing into like now, now I'm now
• 58:00
  because, dude, I'm trying to be such a villain so bad, but I'm
• 58:03
  such a softy like, yeah, I'm, I'm like that.
• 58:07
  And and I'm going to tell you you're ruining my high of me
• 58:10
  getting out of this session. But I'm going to tell you just
• 58:12
  come back a little later and I'll, I'll probably give you a
• 58:14
  ride along. I I try, I I I made sure to give
• 58:18
  some people ride alongs. Yeah, this.
• 58:21
  Came from far and wide. There's people who support this
• 58:23
  podcast from day one that I don't even know who they are,
• 58:26
  but that could have been the person I gave a ride along to.
• 58:29
  I don't know. Yeah, there's a lot of people in
• 58:31
  here. Just try to be nice and and
• 58:33
  share. Not everybody can go buy a drift
• 58:36
  car right now, but they can maybe experience a little bit of
• 58:39
  it because of you. That sounds really great, but
• 58:42
  I'm still a fucking asshole. So should they come up to you or
• 58:45
  not, Carl? No, after all that go up to like
• 58:51
  me after I eat dinner or something.
• 58:54
  Yeah, like after 2:00 PM. Yeah, just go make friends,
• 58:59
  dude. It's like getting dropped off at
• 59:01
  a daycare. Like you're all there to get
• 59:05
  through daycare. Someone goes a lot of drift
• 59:07
  events in Norcal don't have run classes and just adjust run
• 59:11
  times. Is that like what we did we
• 59:13
  experience out there? Like, yeah.
• 59:15
  It's oh whoa, it did something about them.
• 59:18
  Well, the TV did some bullshit. Yeah, no, there's no run
• 59:22
  classes. If you go out there, it is on
• 59:25
  you to know. I have cars coming up behind me.
• 59:28
  Maybe I should speed up and just drive the rest of the track and
• 59:30
  get off or? Hey, it seems like a lot of
• 59:34
  California's like that. No, I feel like a lot of tracks
• 59:37
  normal, like period like that. Clubloose is really the only one
• 59:40
  that's not, you know. Not the only one, but yeah,
• 59:44
  maybe around this area. It's more like strict.
• 59:47
  Yeah, I'm good. Did anyone fall or drive into
• 59:52
  the pond this year? No, not like.
• 59:54
  Like I said earlier, there's no crazy accidents.
• 59:56
  Aside from Jame. Jame Yeah, I'm.
• 59:59
  Unfortunately. Unfortunately, but like
• 1:00:03
  everybody, it was when people are like, yo, let's get doors.
• 1:00:06
  People are actually like doring each other and leaving tire
• 1:00:09
  Marks and not yeah, I saw. Carl's car.
• 1:00:10
  Dude, my car is so fucked and like Diego not fucked, but like
• 1:00:16
  they were all just from my friends.
• 1:00:17
  So like I don't care. Like and.
• 1:00:20
  They're not. They're not.
• 1:00:21
  They're not even dense. They're not.
• 1:00:22
  Dense dude. They're literally just.
• 1:00:24
  They're tasteful. They're like lines.
• 1:00:26
  They look like gills on my car. My neighbor, My neighbors were
• 1:00:29
  probably like what the fuck is this thing?
• 1:00:32
  What was the beer count this weekend?
• 1:00:33
  A lot. 10 a day is the number. That's a good number, all right.
• 1:00:37
  It's like 1 around lunch I was. Going to say after the driving.
• 1:00:40
  No, they're yeah, not while driving at all.
• 1:00:43
  Like yeah, beer count is like 10A.
• 1:00:46
  Day How did you level up this weekend driving wise?
• 1:00:49
  I feel a lot more comfortable in Chase as long as I trust the
• 1:00:51
  person in front. I can not do the thing where
• 1:00:56
  you're like in Chase and you're like let me pull the handbrake,
• 1:00:59
  let me get on the let me get off the gas.
• 1:01:00
  Let me pull the handbrake, let me get off the gas, let me do it
• 1:01:02
  now. It's like.
• 1:01:03
  You're just committed, fully floored.
• 1:01:05
  What do you want to work on in Chase?
• 1:01:08
  Just getting a little closer and match and picking where you want
• 1:01:13
  to be, like on the car in front. Because there were some runs
• 1:01:16
  where it was so sloppy. I was just doing everything to
• 1:01:19
  stay in a spot where I probably could have been a little further
• 1:01:22
  back and then instead now I'm just running over the track.
• 1:01:26
  I was literally just like running over all the dirt, like
• 1:01:29
  all the little curbs or whatever, and just like trying
• 1:01:33
  to stay in that spot. Were you ever like third or
• 1:01:35
  fourth behind this weekend? I think I was like car 3 like
• 1:01:39
  once, but I'm nice at car 3 because I'm, I think as car
• 1:01:44
  three you want to still be doing What Car one is doing.
• 1:01:47
  So I'm looking at car one. That way you get that nice like
• 1:01:51
  even if I'm further back here, you hit that transition.
• 1:01:53
  It's like all of us are hitting it.
• 1:01:55
  Even if I'm from right here. I know what you're.
• 1:01:57
  Saying that shit is tough. I hate doing that, but I'm OK at
• 1:02:01
  it, especially when. There's another guy behind you
• 1:02:03
  too, yeah. If it's.
• 1:02:04
  Four. Yeah.
• 1:02:05
  Third is it's crazy if there's four.
• 1:02:07
  Or more. It's fucked.
• 1:02:08
  I really wish you guys came like Malcolm would have enjoyed the
• 1:02:11
  shit out of it dude. The camping too.
• 1:02:13
  The camping, yeah you would have enjoyed that.
• 1:02:15
  You can smoke black and milds all you want.
• 1:02:17
  Team smooth brain, Sam said. Who did the most nuts on the
• 1:02:20
  dash? Driving.
• 1:02:22
  For me, it was Shannon. Was it Shannon?
• 1:02:24
  Yeah, he was. He wasn't.
• 1:02:26
  He was my hero. He was just.
• 1:02:27
  Pushing whatever, you know, somebody would tell him
• 1:02:30
  something. Dude, Shannon went off in like
• 1:02:34
  the worst place you could go off and actually he went off again.
• 1:02:39
  He did that nose dive one in the middle of the track.
• 1:02:42
  There's like a a gully and I I look up and then Shannon's car
• 1:02:45
  is just fully in the ground. I'm like what the fuck?
• 1:02:49
  Still drove? We had beers later in the night.
• 1:02:52
  This is still a good dude then, right?
• 1:02:54
  So he knows what he's doing, yeah.
• 1:02:56
  This is Bryson's dad. OK, what is the best engine of
• 1:03:01
  all time and why is it a one? JZ Oh, yeah, yeah, there we go.
• 1:03:05
  There we go. There we go, There we go.
• 1:03:06
  Who is that? Jack Dunlap.
• 1:03:08
  Yep. Hey shout out Jack Dunlap.
• 1:03:09
  He just bought a one Ji think he pulled up too.
• 1:03:12
  He did pull up and Jack's photos came out awesome.
• 1:03:15
  It was the one session I did reverse.
• 1:03:16
  Thank you, Jack. What was your biggest take away
• 1:03:20
  from this trip? Less is more.
• 1:03:23
  I drove a truck in the trailer. For the Oh my God, yeah, you
• 1:03:26
  did. Oh my God, dude.
• 1:03:28
  How was that? It was terrible.
• 1:03:30
  Scary dude. The shocks are all blown, so
• 1:03:33
  every time you hit a bump. And Malcolm's like, I'm just
• 1:03:35
  turning around now. I'm like the.
• 1:03:37
  Screen's frozen, so I might as well watch you.
• 1:03:39
  Dude, you wanna come over here, dude?
• 1:03:42
  I like it is the worst truck right now to tow with because
• 1:03:45
  all the shocks are blowing but once the shocks are back you're
• 1:03:48
  that'll feel like night and day say difference it'll be easy as
• 1:03:49
  fuck. You ever think putting like
• 1:03:51
  helper springs? It's got a helper bags on the
• 1:03:53
  back that popped Oh. OK, that explains.
• 1:03:56
  I was like I was. Like it would be so smooth if it
• 1:03:59
  all worked, but I had already done so much work to the truck.
• 1:04:03
  Dude, I did way more work on the truck than I did the car.
• 1:04:07
  I did, I did alternator, I did brakes.
• 1:04:12
  I did that. We, we well Chris did that wheel
• 1:04:14
  bearing and upper ball joint. I did lower ball joints.
• 1:04:17
  I did like all the pulleys on the front are new.
• 1:04:22
  That belt was new. So everything was just the
• 1:04:25
  truck? Shocks and that.
• 1:04:27
  I was just scared the truck was going.
• 1:04:28
  If the truck dies, we're fucked. Yeah, that's way scarier than
• 1:04:30
  that. We're fucked.
• 1:04:31
  And then, yeah. Oh, here's a question that I
• 1:04:35
  want by the answer. To no, it was cool.
• 1:04:37
  I honestly think it was a perfect place.
• 1:04:38
  Like I drove where I drove. It was like through the hilly
• 1:04:41
  part of Virginia. So it's kind of a good place to
• 1:04:44
  understand what to do on a hill and how to use the weight to go
• 1:04:48
  up the hill, yeah. Dude, I had but I was.
• 1:04:51
  I just needed like. I white knuckled the whole time.
• 1:04:53
  I needed two hours. I needed an hour and a half to
• 1:04:56
  two hours I. Was on the way home or there,
• 1:04:58
  yeah. Dude, I was fresh off a driving
• 1:05:02
  dude like on a Sunday. I had drifted all day or 15.
• 1:05:05
  Hours home and one shot and then after you're done.
• 1:05:08
  I was already drinking like when we were at the track, I was
• 1:05:10
  like, ah, fuck. Like we're going to have to
• 1:05:11
  drive. I got to stop doing this.
• 1:05:13
  Yeah, like it, it's. And then you just.
• 1:05:16
  I just tried to ride out the high.
• 1:05:17
  I'm like, OK, that was so fun. This is part of the journey.
• 1:05:20
  This is it. And then like 5 hours and you're
• 1:05:22
  like kind of tired. How many wheels flew off this
• 1:05:27
  pond? Only one?
• 1:05:28
  Is that a thing? Only one.
• 1:05:29
  This is Brad. See, a lot happened last year.
• 1:05:31
  That's why I think it's last year was like a crash pump, but
• 1:05:34
  this year? This year was just Brad, Yeah.
• 1:05:38
  What's the coolest 90s chassis needed to drift besides 240 or
• 1:05:40
  E36? Well, E36 is not on that list.
• 1:05:43
  Yeah, that's the first thing. Just 240 is 6.
• 1:05:47
  I think. JZXS are cool looking.
• 1:05:49
  Yeah, they're. Cool dude, we but I'm.
• 1:05:51
  Not going to lie, when I'm inside one I'm like this is way
• 1:05:53
  too fucking big drift. Team Sabotage was there.
• 1:05:55
  Yeah, and they have a JZX on their team and it was freaking
• 1:05:58
  awesome. It's unfortunate that the
• 1:06:00
  knuckle broke, I think it was. Did the wheel fly off?
• 1:06:04
  Obviously it's JB. No, it didn't.
• 1:06:05
  Obviously it's JB and Nick with the green car.
• 1:06:08
  And then I think the JZ XS name is Bobby.
• 1:06:12
  I don't know his name. I'm so fucked.
• 1:06:14
  I I like hung out with them for a little bit all week.
• 1:06:16
  Dude it was J BS birthday that weekend.
• 1:06:18
  Happy birthday JBI. Like those cars, but they are
• 1:06:23
  definitely big. JCX 90. 990.
• 1:06:28
  I like them as a. 100 is is kind of big. 100 looks.
• 1:06:32
  But I think they look cool drifting.
• 1:06:33
  Yeah, they look awesome. Drifting, yeah.
• 1:06:36
  So that's a pretty cool 90s car. Yeah, I'll take that.
• 1:06:39
  What else, dude? If it was like a random car I
• 1:06:44
  like dude, you know that leopard that was at Diego's house?
• 1:06:48
  The Infiniti M30 or whatever. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:06:51
  Yeah dude, the leopard with like an Sr. in it would be awesome.
• 1:06:54
  Is that the weird Infinity that looks like a cougar or?
• 1:06:56
  Something, yeah, no, it's a square ass car.
• 1:06:58
  It looks like a literally like a bozo car.
• 1:07:00
  Like it would have to have fifteens on it.
• 1:07:03
  It looks awesome. I feel like there's another car
• 1:07:04
  I'm thinking of but. Yes, 1999 IS 300 or RS200.
• 1:07:08
  That's a good car too, that. Was it really?
• 1:07:10
  I forgot a fucking car dude. Like it took it took all the
• 1:07:15
  bullshit. Here's a question I want the
• 1:07:17
  answer to as well. What was up with the square on
• 1:07:19
  Carl's hood? Dude the square.
• 1:07:24
  OK, dude, the square. Here we go, it's a conspiracy.
• 1:07:28
  The front. I had the hood fly up that one
• 1:07:31
  time because Derek opened my hood the night before.
• 1:07:34
  Oh. Just straight to blame Derek,
• 1:07:35
  OK, And. Then the hood flew up, obviously
• 1:07:39
  bending the fuck out of the hood, which was the original one
• 1:07:42
  that said pioneer on it. It was so tough.
• 1:07:45
  And then I got this new one from Damien as a thank you in
• 1:07:49
  exchange for doing the podcast and hanging out at his house.
• 1:07:52
  And like, we dude, he even took me to Longhorn.
• 1:07:55
  Dude, I watched it was such, it was such.
• 1:07:58
  There was a best date I've ever been on, dude.
• 1:08:01
  And he gave me the hood. No.
• 1:08:05
  And then on the hood, it was his test panel for paint.
• 1:08:08
  So he had it squared off with notes.
• 1:08:11
  There's notes on each of like what each color would do.
• 1:08:16
  Because Damien is not just bullshitting around.
• 1:08:19
  He's he's going to do a test of like the rest of us.
• 1:08:23
  So that's all his test panel. It's just I never redid it so
• 1:08:28
  it. Wasn't gold.
• 1:08:28
  Why did I think it was? Gold it was, it's yellow.
• 1:08:30
  It's the car shop. Crochet cars are yellow, so he
• 1:08:32
  was using. It as a test.
• 1:08:34
  For like the paint for. Car shop Cars.
• 1:08:37
  And I never did anything with it.
• 1:08:39
  It's it's confusing because it looks like your car kind of.
• 1:08:42
  I said it would be sick if I really thought that was as.
• 1:08:46
  Good, I thought that was. So if someone if someone,
• 1:08:50
  everyone hated this idea, Javi hated it, Diego hated it,
• 1:08:53
  everyone hated it. I'm sure I'll love this.
• 1:08:55
  Somebody had a can of paint at Pond at the wrong time of me,
• 1:09:01
  like at the 10 beer mark, I said we should have drew on it like
• 1:09:05
  and just drew whatever on it. No.
• 1:09:08
  Why? Why no?
• 1:09:09
  Because then you're going to actually, you're actually.
• 1:09:12
  Yeah, got to. Paint the shit.
• 1:09:12
  Either way, bro, yeah, I would have just painted.
• 1:09:14
  I would have taped off the Fender and then just been like
• 1:09:17
  don't get it on the windshield, just draw whatever it just.
• 1:09:20
  It makes me think of like ratchet drifting, like, oh, OK.
• 1:09:24
  That's what I it reminded me of. It was like, not you.
• 1:09:26
  I wanted a clip of like. Bald cars.
• 1:09:28
  I wanted like offseason's car, like, hey, I'm Ryan Turk, we're
• 1:09:32
  in Brooklyn, we're going to just party around for a little bit.
• 1:09:35
  I. Mean if the hood's getting
• 1:09:36
  painted anyway, Like, yeah. No, you don't want to spray
• 1:09:38
  paint. That just reminds me of like I
• 1:09:39
  got 350Z with just straight bass bars no bumper.
• 1:09:42
  Why is it? Going to be AZ bro.
• 1:09:44
  Because that's how that's what the Z people do when they have
• 1:09:46
  no bumpers. That's crazy.
• 1:09:48
  You got bumpers though. You're right for now.
• 1:09:51
  How many cigarettes were smoked? A lot.
• 1:09:53
  A lot. Yes, a lot did.
• 1:09:55
  You catch any fish? No, I did bring a fish, a
• 1:09:58
  fishing rod and I didn't even get to.
• 1:10:00
  Use it. Oh shit.
• 1:10:02
  Yeah, no, that's sadly. How does a guy get an invite?
• 1:10:06
  My GS gets busy. I don't know about me but my car
• 1:10:10
  bangs. Does your car look cool?
• 1:10:11
  Yeah, your car has to be kind of cool.
• 1:10:13
  I'll find out, right? Can you drive good?
• 1:10:15
  I feel like that's. Really.
• 1:10:16
  Yeah, that's true. Those are the 2.
• 1:10:17
  That's it. So it's kind.
• 1:10:18
  Of like an invite only thing. It's no.
• 1:10:20
  There's an application process. Oh, there is they.
• 1:10:22
  Did the the story thing that I think Knuckle Up does where it's
• 1:10:25
  like you vote on if your car looks cool or not.
• 1:10:27
  Yeah, they took the note from Jimmy.
• 1:10:30
  It's not a crazy looking car. Yeah, I mean.
• 1:10:33
  I think if you drive good, your car looks good and you're not a
• 1:10:35
  Dick head. So apparently there is a.
• 1:10:39
  If you sign up on time, I think if you it's first come, first
• 1:10:41
  serve, really I think that's the best way to.
• 1:10:42
  Put it. You have to sign up on time, you
• 1:10:44
  got to approve to go and all that stuff, OK.
• 1:10:47
  It's just, it's not. So what page did you follow?
• 1:10:49
  What page did you follow? Trip to the pond and I believe
• 1:10:53
  they will have another one. I believe they might have
• 1:10:55
  another one they. Definitely got to.
• 1:10:57
  Have another. One this one after this one,
• 1:10:58
  they definitely have to. Yeah, I got to take a piss hobby
• 1:11:01
  answer these. Questions you know nicely.
• 1:11:03
  All right. All right, what kind of gloves
• 1:11:06
  are Carl's Yellow flame driving gloves?
• 1:11:08
  Those are custom gloves that Carl made.
• 1:11:10
  Yeah, he made those a while back.
• 1:11:12
  Those things are pretty sick. Yeah, so if you want a new
• 1:11:15
  batch, hit him in the DMS, tell him you're looking for him.
• 1:11:17
  Spam him. Yeah, maybe he'll he'll have
• 1:11:20
  those. I do too.
• 1:11:21
  Those are the best fitting gloves I've ever bought to be
• 1:11:24
  honest. Wow, because my hands are small.
• 1:11:27
  Small boy. OK, but usually my my thumb
• 1:11:31
  doesn't fill out any glove but my thumb fills that one out.
• 1:11:37
  And it's not like very thick where your hands get sweaty.
• 1:11:40
  Yeah, it's like. Like I got a pair, I just, I'm
• 1:11:43
  not throw it down just to see what it feels like again.
• 1:11:46
  Yeah, it feels good. There's a case spec gloves.
• 1:11:50
  Tell them to make another. Bag case spec gloves.
• 1:11:53
  Tell them to make another bag. Comes with a pack of cigarettes
• 1:11:55
  when you order it. That's crazy then he's losing.
• 1:12:01
  I'm waiting for Carl for some of these go to track foods.
• 1:12:05
  I like if I'm making it sandwiches always go to.
• 1:12:10
  Yo, he's the he's the grandma and fucking and bad Santa.
• 1:12:15
  Y'all want some sandwiches? I got a Turkey sandwich, but if
• 1:12:21
  there's a food truck, I enjoy a nice Mexican food truck.
• 1:12:24
  They got the tacos because it's like tacos are cheap.
• 1:12:28
  It's going to fill you. It's going to hit those
• 1:12:30
  satisfied cravings. Yeah, we should get tacos right
• 1:12:33

  You already say that Honey mustard chicken sandwich or
• 1:12:48
  whatever. Yeah, dude from from mid pond.
• 1:12:50
  Yeah dude but or no from Evergreen.
• 1:12:53
  But the mid pond Taco truck is so fucking gas.

• 1:13:05
  Oh dude. Everyone wants your gloves.
• 1:13:09
  Yes, you got to be more. My gloves make another batch.
• 1:13:11
  Dude, I don't know, maybe no one, no one fucking.
• 1:13:14
  That was a limited run. Make another style.
• 1:13:18
  New colour dude. I love them gloves.
• 1:13:20
  I've used them literally. How many did you make 50?
• 1:13:23
  Wow. They sold out a lot.
• 1:13:26
  That's pretty good. I know 100 next time I know
• 1:13:29
  fuck, but then I just have like I gave, I gave like a.
• 1:13:32
  Couple people best fitting gloves you got.
• 1:13:34
  Yeah, they fit good. Yeah, they were good.
• 1:13:36
  And they're not. They're not like fucking super
• 1:13:38
  thick or whatever, but they work for what I need them to do like.
• 1:13:41
  Sometimes it's better to be thin.
• 1:13:43
  I've literally. Used them like I'm I'm like
• 1:13:45
  running around in my car and I'm about to grab something hot and
• 1:13:48
  I like put my glove. On and use.
• 1:13:49
  It like they're like yeah, maybe I will.
• 1:13:53
  I'll let I'll we'll we'll see about.
• 1:13:54
  That in my personal opinion, they feel a little bit better
• 1:13:57
  than the thrash gloves. Yeah, both.
• 1:13:59
  I like both. I like my gloves because they're
• 1:14:02
  like choppery. Wait till dude, now that
• 1:14:03
  drifting is now that midpoint. Is done Chopper.
• 1:14:06
  Time, baby. Chopper.
• 1:14:07
  The Chopper yeah shop with the king and queen seat.
• 1:14:11
  Just need the queen. Who was the?
• 1:14:13
  Queen, you saw Tom's car. I mean Tom's bike.
• 1:14:15
  Yes. Bro it looks so nice.
• 1:14:17
  Doesn't look fire. Oh my.
• 1:14:18
  God fucking show. Literally.
• 1:14:20
  So Bike, yeah. He doesn't even.
• 1:14:21
  He doesn't care about drifting. He's over drifting.
• 1:14:23
  But that's a good example of like, because every time we're
• 1:14:25
  working on bikes or looking at shit, I'm just like, this shit
• 1:14:27
  is a joke compared to cars. Like you could build this whole
• 1:14:30
  bike for like 10 grand. Not a car, it's like 40 grand.
• 1:14:34
  Tom's bike, dude. I mean, I'm sure he put some
• 1:14:36
  more money in it and then that, but it's still nowhere near a
• 1:14:39
  car. Well, when you build in chops,
• 1:14:41
  it's not like a it's not like a money thing.
• 1:14:42
  You ever see like Tom's stories where they're building some of
• 1:14:44
  the stuff for the chops? It's like they built the Sissy
• 1:14:47
  bar. Tom built the C pan himself and
• 1:14:50
  then got it wrapped. But he does like.
• 1:14:52
  Paint is the most expensive thing.
• 1:14:53
  And did the paint, which is like a fucking prestigious motorcycle
• 1:14:57
  painter, Yeah, so there's that. And just the choice of parts,
• 1:15:01
  like where they put where, where Tom puts the stickers.
• 1:15:04
  Like, I know I want to build like a really cool bike and I
• 1:15:06
  know it's not going to look like that, but I know it's going to
• 1:15:08
  be cool. I'll be cool in the picture
• 1:15:12
  where you're holding that helmet.
• 1:15:13
  Did you paint that helmet? Because it looks fire.
• 1:15:16
  It I did, dude. There was some, there was some
• 1:15:19
  Asian people there. Did you see that?
• 1:15:20
  Gang. Yeah, I was like, yo.
• 1:15:23
  What are you all doing? Here some came with Suge.
• 1:15:26
  Yeah, yeah, that dude, they had Chris 2 point.
• 1:15:29
  Oh yeah, kinda. Chris always has a doppelganger.
• 1:15:32
  Kinda dude, he would have fit in that with that picture with
• 1:15:34
  Nico, Chris and Yep, fuck. That's a good photo, I.
• 1:15:39
  Forgot his name, but the pointing one yeah, where they're
• 1:15:41
  going like this Al yeah, Al Vang, But that would that one is
• 1:15:46
  a sounds cool and MJ 2 was in that photo.
• 1:15:50
  Diego, Diego says. When is the rest of faction
• 1:15:52
  coming down and why? Is trip to the pond the most fun
• 1:15:54
  you can have with your friends? Because Diego brings us all
• 1:15:57
  together, if you fucking think about it.
• 1:15:59
  Is he the one that's like kind of throwing?
• 1:16:01
  Us who's like the centre of it. Yeah, he is.
• 1:16:03
  He is the centre of of of the shenanigans.
• 1:16:06
  He's the centre of why I'm probably going to that, not why
• 1:16:09
  I'm probably that's probably why I'm going to move down it.
• 1:16:11
  That's my twin, for real. That guy.
• 1:16:14
  That guy is like one of the most cracked out dudes.
• 1:16:17
  He's cool, he's awesome. I met him in Japan.
• 1:16:20
  He is someone where their word still matters.
• 1:16:24
  Like he'll if you, if he says he's going to fucking do
• 1:16:27
  something, let's say it's something retarded, like yo,
• 1:16:29
  every day at 5:45 AM, I'm going to fucking snap my fingers.
• 1:16:33
  He'll actually do that. He's crazy.
• 1:16:35
  He's like one of the most disciplined people I know.
• 1:16:38
  That's good. That's why this shit gets done.
• 1:16:40
  I kind of, not to super glaze him, but he's like when I think
• 1:16:43
  of Diego, he's kind of like someone that's going to be
• 1:16:46
  upwards of like Mark Zuckerberg maybe.
• 1:16:49
  Yeah, 'cause he's just so tweet about it.
• 1:16:52
  Like if he keeps coming up with shit, he's like always on it.
• 1:16:56
  I'm super disciplined, dude. Mastermind.
• 1:16:57
  Yeah. That's a great way to put it.
• 1:17:00
  Yeah, there's like a nice one. This trip to the pond is always
• 1:17:03
  the same time of the year. And not even.
• 1:17:04
  Sometimes they have it twice. That explains the 8 events.
• 1:17:09
  Yeah, yeah, OK. Not even.
• 1:17:12
  Yeah, they they called them like there was a .5.
• 1:17:14
  Yeah, for one, because it was like 2 in one year.
• 1:17:18
  That's cool but honestly I think this one was so good.
• 1:17:20
  Like gotta wait till next year. Yeah, Anything you wish you did,
• 1:17:25
  anything you wish your car did better there or any future plans
• 1:17:29
  after seeing how it drove? Good question.
• 1:17:31
  I almost upped the boost. There was like a day where I was
• 1:17:36
  getting left like and I was like, maybe if I have the boost
• 1:17:39
  I could just stay in 3rd for a majority of the track.
• 1:17:43
  And then I decided against it because I just don't want to
• 1:17:46
  blow. Up the car.
• 1:17:49
  Like I'm at 10 lbs. I know I could go to 14.
• 1:17:51
  You really need to raise. You probably don't need to raise
• 1:17:53
  it. No, yeah.
• 1:17:55
  I mean I guess it would have helped like specifically.
• 1:17:58
  Who's running away? Harry with the 180.
• 1:18:03
  Harry with the black one. Harry roasted the shit out of me
• 1:18:06
  and Diego has me on corner exit every fucking time.
• 1:18:12
  Brad's car. The FRS and the IS have kind of
• 1:18:15
  similar suspension geometry, but Brad was on a on a Velino or a
• 1:18:20
  Kenda, I forget what it was. What engine is in that?
• 1:18:22
  Sr. bone stock like AT28-T25. And a BRZ, yeah.
• 1:18:27
  Wow, it's cool. It's really cool.
• 1:18:28
  That's Brad's car. Yeah, I didn't realize that Sr.
• 1:18:31
  the whole time. Braz JDMA bro, you don't know
• 1:18:34
  that's cool. But then so then me and him were
• 1:18:37
  really good, but it was just working on I was really working
• 1:18:41
  on the fact that I just wanted to like not you just you know,
• 1:18:44
  when you see a video of people tandeming and they're like farts
• 1:18:49
  in a way, I'm like, it doesn't. I don't want my clips to look
• 1:18:52
  like that. Some of them do and I'm like.
• 1:18:55
  But it looks like that to you, but it's still probably OK.
• 1:18:58
  It looks, it looks like that, but I I wish, I don't know, I
• 1:19:04
  wish, I wish I had a significant other to bring.
• 1:19:10
  Well, the car's still good, so I guess we'll work on that now.
• 1:19:13
  Yeah, I guess I could work on that.
• 1:19:14
  You don't got to work on the car, so I.
• 1:19:15
  Don't even know, bro. What are you doing now?
• 1:19:17
  You have any dating going on? No.
• 1:19:19
  Yeah, See, that's what I'm saying.
• 1:19:19
  None of us have. Don't look to me, Carl, for that
• 1:19:22
  advice. Don't know it's so bad look.
• 1:19:24
  To someone look to him. I think it's because we've hung
• 1:19:26
  out for so long now. Yeah.
• 1:19:28
  You can't. Yeah.
• 1:19:30
  Don't have, just have. No need to date right now.
• 1:19:32
  So it sounds like me I. Wish I brought my car dude.
• 1:19:36
  Yeah, that would have been sick. Until you saw what happened to
• 1:19:38
  Gus. Well, now you can trailer, son.
• 1:19:40
  There you. Go, dude.
• 1:19:40
  Gus lost an engine, Yeah. Gus lost an.
• 1:19:43
  Engine. Our new friend Louis lost an
• 1:19:46
  engine in Sr. RIP Superman Jack.
• 1:19:50
  He lost turbo. I think he finally came to
• 1:19:55
  conclusion of what it was. Yeah, massive amount of blow by.
• 1:19:58
  Like he would give it a little bit of gas and oil would shoot
• 1:20:02
  out of the math turbo. The turbo was done.
• 1:20:06
  That's crazy. Yeah, dude, that guy was that
• 1:20:09
  guy was awesome. These are we like Diego has his
• 1:20:12
  subset of friends that he made and brought us into with all
• 1:20:15
  this training buddies. So they all came out and so we
• 1:20:19
  all got to hang out doing like retard shit, like not the
• 1:20:24
  trading stuff. Just I was going to say, were
• 1:20:25
  you trading stocks on? Diego was in the morning.
• 1:20:29
  That's crazy. Yeah, in the red box.
• 1:20:32
  So it's just fun as fuck dude. Definitely coming back for
• 1:20:36
  another. What would I do to make it
• 1:20:40
  better? Shocks on the coil want to do
• 1:20:43
  that? Oil change.
• 1:20:45
  I did dude, everything. Everything in my car was up to
• 1:20:48
  date as fuck. He was prepped.
• 1:20:50
  I mean like 'cause earlier we talked almost every day.
• 1:20:53
  Almost. Every day we were.
• 1:20:54
  Prepping so like I know he was just working on this shit
• 1:20:56
  whenever he had time. Full time.
• 1:20:57
  Pulled the whole rear. Yep.
• 1:20:59
  I did do the rear or I did all of that crap.
• 1:21:04
  The car is all straight. I was going to say, I mean, you
• 1:21:06
  do need to paint that thing. That's a.
• 1:21:08
  Lot. Yeah, that's pretty much it.
• 1:21:09
  I want to make it pretty because like I I want to be proud of
• 1:21:11
  like what I drive around it, but I'm pretty happy just driving
• 1:21:14
  that thing around right now because it still has the kit,
• 1:21:16
  although the kits kind of fucking worn.
• 1:21:18
  I want to find a rear bumper can.
• 1:21:20
  You fix it. Probably now, no.
• 1:21:24
  I could have before pond and now.
• 1:21:27
  It's how much is that kit? I'm just, it's probably like, I
• 1:21:30
  don't know, I haven't looked into it.
• 1:21:32
  I want to change the car up. There's a look that I would
• 1:21:34
  like. So we'll see.
• 1:21:37
  But that was that was a little fun little journey.
• 1:21:41
  Again, wish you all came. You guys would have loved it.
• 1:21:44
  It sounds fun. I want a.
• 1:21:46
  Great time I got to watch your video.
• 1:21:47
  Oh yeah, we could watch it. There's a good one.
• 1:21:49
  Yeah, we could watch it like literally right now.
• 1:21:52
  Can we watch it? No, like we're going to cut the
• 1:21:55
  pod and then now this is going to come back to life all.
• 1:21:58
  Right, we'll watch it on this. Yeah, but thanks, Javi.
• 1:22:04
  Appreciate it. Thanks, Javi.
• 1:22:05
  Thanks, Kenny. Thanks Carl, for fucking
• 1:22:07
  driving. Dude, yeah, like we literally.
• 1:22:09
  This man. Motored that shit dude.
• 1:22:12
  Oh my fucking God, I'm. Not a cigarette.
• 1:22:15
  I fucking dude I was doing this method called the Ethan Johnson
• 1:22:18
  trailer method. Ironically Ethan Eisenhard uses
• 1:22:21
  the same method. If I want to make a lame lane
• 1:22:24
  change, I'll just like tip the trailer over like this and the
• 1:22:28
  trailer like hits one of these and then the person in the left
• 1:22:31
  that I needed to make the lane change lane change in hits the
• 1:22:34
  brakes so hard and I'm like, oh, thank you and I get over.
• 1:22:39
  What is it called? The Ethan Johnson lane change,
• 1:22:44
  it works awesome. It's pretty good tech.
• 1:22:45
  It works really good. It works really really good.
• 1:22:49
  OK, I want to hear the the cigarette thing you're talking
• 1:22:51
  about. Oh yeah, for the facts of the.
• 1:22:53
  I don't actually know what the answer is to that.
• 1:22:55
  Bro what but the cigarette? I'll try to find it.
• 1:22:58
  The cigarette companies figured out how many cigarettes to put
• 1:23:01
  in a pack. Yeah, you smoke for a day.
• 1:23:04
  One at breakfast, one at lunch, 1 when you get home and one
• 1:23:08
  before bed. That's for a day or it's like 20
• 1:23:10
  a week. Or it's just enough just the the
• 1:23:15
  right under amount to make you have to buy another pack?
• 1:23:20
  Is that what it? Yeah, a little bit to balance
• 1:23:22
  manufacturing efficiency, taxation efficiency and consumer
• 1:23:25
  demand for a standard amount. The number 20 serves as a
• 1:23:28
  standard unit for consistent pricing and is regulated in many
• 1:23:31
  regions as a minimum size to discourage, in part the sale of
• 1:23:35
  smaller, cheaper packs to minors smaller.
• 1:23:39
  I think we were way off. Well, The thing is, The thing
• 1:23:43
  is, Big Tobacco probably wrote this.
• 1:23:47
  I think we're pretty way off too.
• 1:23:49
  I thought it was just the wrong amount to have to make you buy
• 1:23:51
  another pack. Dude, we watched.
• 1:23:53
  Well, anything you read about cigarettes, anything to do with
• 1:23:56
  smoking, anything, it's. Being manipulated.
• 1:23:58
  It's being manipulated by the big.
• 1:23:59
  We watched like they own all these fucking things too.
• 1:24:02
  They own everything. The vapes.
• 1:24:04
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We watched Happy Gilmore 2 on
• 1:24:06
  the way down, which was a lot of it filmed in Jersey.
• 1:24:09
  Ironically I noticed like some of it was by my house.
• 1:24:12
  Also, they own the patch companies, they own Nicorette,
• 1:24:16
  they own everything so. Damn, we watched Smokey and the
• 1:24:20
  Bandit? Yeah, the original 1.
• 1:24:21
  Javi had never seen that. It was it.
• 1:24:23
  Was good, you can watch it. With I liked it with Burt
• 1:24:26
  Reynolds. Yeah, dude, hell yeah.
• 1:24:28
  That was I wanted that to be me so badly.
• 1:24:31
  That was you. We watched the movie 10 Four
• 1:24:33
  come back. Is that with the bird on the
• 1:24:35
  Trans Am and everything? Yeah.
• 1:24:36
  Yep, you need that bird on the movie.
• 1:24:38
  Oh, yeah, dude, I don't know about that, but yeah, I have an
• 1:24:42
  idea of what I'm going to do that's not that, but that sounds
• 1:24:45
  like a really good idea. And we watched, I watched.
• 1:24:49
  You guys are all asleep for it, but our new friend Haley
• 1:24:53
  recommended me to watch this Wes Anderson movie and it was so
• 1:24:56
  trippy. Dude, it was.
• 1:24:58
  It was getting that. Guy so late it was getting why
• 1:25:01
  what? I don't.
• 1:25:04
  Know why? Is the movies that you don't
• 1:25:05
  like? All of them.
• 1:25:06
  Why? The way it's shot, that's.
• 1:25:08
  One of my favorite things is the way that it was shot.
• 1:25:10
  I was I was finding myself driving and I'm looking at the
• 1:25:13
  TV screen like damn, what the fuck is going?
• 1:25:15
  On it's like it's. A very interesting way of
• 1:25:17
  shooting. I like the dreaming I like.
• 1:25:19
  So obviously hipster. I'm just over it.
• 1:25:23
  OK, you're you're a hipster. I mean I.
• 1:25:25
  Caught some of the shots probably like before I fully
• 1:25:28
  fell asleep, I saw some parts of the movie and I could see like I
• 1:25:30
  think it's just. They're all dude, they're all
• 1:25:32
  like that. They're all the same.
• 1:25:33
  Clocked was they were like in an airplane and the guy's like
• 1:25:36
  you're fired and the guy just flew out like ejectocy dog.
• 1:25:39
  Yeah, I just kind of. I'm going to be honest with you,
• 1:25:42
  I probably never seen one what one of his movies.
• 1:25:45
  I've just. Seen the?
• 1:25:46
  Trailer. I watch the trailers, I go fuck
• 1:25:48
  this shit. Literally every time I see a
• 1:25:50
  trailer I go fuck that shit. I don't and I turn it.
• 1:25:53
  Off I don't watch a lot of movies, nor do a lot of people
• 1:25:55
  recommend movies to me. So when people do recommend it,
• 1:25:58
  I'll go watch it. Yeah.
• 1:25:59
  And like, I was watching that one and since it was just late
• 1:26:03
  at night, I wasn't doing anything else.
• 1:26:04
  I was like this is the perfect time for me to intake
• 1:26:06
  information. I should watch one at least it
• 1:26:08
  was good. Which one was this?
• 1:26:10
  The Phoenician scheme. A lot of people.
• 1:26:13
  Talk about. The Grand Budapest.
• 1:26:16
  That one I heard about. That's that's I think one of his
• 1:26:19
  more popular ones if you do want to indulge.
• 1:26:22
  That one, it was just crazy. The whole time.
• 1:26:24
  I was like, these colours are sick.
• 1:26:25
  The framing is cool. Fast and furious on the way
• 1:26:28
  down. All the colours.
• 1:26:29
  Are the same in all the movies too like that I.
• 1:26:30
  Love the colours dude the colours are so nice.
• 1:26:33
  The framing. Is the palette.
• 1:26:35
  Yeah. Is that what I'm going to
• 1:26:36
  mention? Colour framing.
• 1:26:39
  I guess some people just don't like certain things.
• 1:26:41
  Like I see that. I see the palette and everything
• 1:26:43
  and I see the actors wearing all the dumb ass fucking outfits and
• 1:26:45
  I'm like. They're wearing normal clothes.
• 1:26:47
  Checked out right away. Like in the Venetian scheme, the
• 1:26:50
  dude was wearing a suit and there were nuns.
• 1:26:52
  Well, like a pastel suit or some shit it.
• 1:26:54
  Was a normal ass suit. What the fuck we?
• 1:26:58
  I'm such a hater on that. Guy like what the fuck it was it
• 1:27:01
  was a fun time. Like the movies on the way down
• 1:27:03
  is always. So you watch a lot of movies on
• 1:27:04
  the way down just fucking. Nice filler.
• 1:27:08
  Nah just like listening in surround sound like talking
• 1:27:11
  about the movie I was playing and shit.
• 1:27:13
  Like honestly the koi is such a Ripper of a road trip machine
• 1:27:19
  bro it's so good. Yeah, new suspension, that
• 1:27:23
  thing's. Yeah, new suspension.
• 1:27:25
  That shit is bang. Yeah, that would probably
• 1:27:27
  fucking that be it. Dude 12 1/2 miles per gallon
• 1:27:31
  under 600 bucks going down South and back. 12 miles a gallon is.
• 1:27:36
  Not the best. With a trailer.
• 1:27:38
  That's probably what. My truck gets my truck probably
• 1:27:41
  gets 10. No, yours is going to get 8.
• 1:27:43
  No, I don't think. So yes, it will.
• 1:27:44
  I don't think so. Dude GNT 808 mile per gallon
• 1:27:48
  with a tow and four people. You don't.
• 1:27:51
  You don't know about mine. Essentially a full.
• 1:27:54
  Bed. I got my truck cleaned the other
• 1:27:56
  day. Cleaned.
• 1:27:58
  First time in four years I. Cleaned mine before I left and
• 1:28:01
  then it's pretty fucking disgusting now.
• 1:28:03
  I'm sure it is literally 12 1/2 miles per gallon all the way
• 1:28:06
  down is beautiful. I.
• 1:28:07
  Guess. So and it with raising guys gas
• 1:28:10
  prices right now yeah, I probably.
• 1:28:12
  Got fucking bad. I got 9 or 10.
• 1:28:14
  It's so bad, but thank you, Javi and thank you to everybody who
• 1:28:18

  the event of the of the summer right there for Carl you.

  Yeah, final bout. E was the same weekend.

  Yeah. Yeah, we didn't even talk about

  that final bout's old news. Now you know you got to.
• 1:30:45
  No it's not. I heard that event was pretty
• 1:30:48
  crazy too. We probably should have the
• 1:30:49
  French St. guys on and talk about that event as well because
• 1:30:52
  it seems like they had a pretty. Pretty crazy time, yeah.
• 1:30:57
  A roller coaster of emotions. Yeah, so maybe that'll be next
• 1:31:00
  week. Who knows?
• 1:31:01
  Yeah, but the trip to the pond seems like a really fun event,
• 1:31:04
  to be honest. Yeah.
• 1:31:05
  Seems fun camping? You love camping?
• 1:31:07
  Yeah, I love camping. I love, I love the great
• 1:31:11
  outdoors. Down South is pretty nice.
• 1:31:14
  That Southern hospitality. Yeah, and I'm yearning for that
• 1:31:18
  right now. Oh.
• 1:31:19
  OK, well maybe he'll be moving with Carl.
• 1:31:22
  Carl says he's going to move now.
• 1:31:24
  He's also said that every single time he came back from any trip
• 1:31:26
  he's ever been on. True, except when we went to
• 1:31:30
  Texas he didn't say that. Because he was working out
• 1:31:33
  there, he was working. He didn't really get to indulge
• 1:31:36
  in the. Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:31:39
  Yeah, I could see him moving down there.
• 1:31:41
  Anyway, our raffle this month is a little different than normal.
• 1:31:47
  Talk to me. So we are not working with any
• 1:31:50
  brands this month. So what's going on is we are
• 1:31:54
  giving away something. So we're giving away an $800
• 1:31:57
  suspension upgrade package. Basically what this means is
• 1:32:01
  we're giving away any suspension components that you think you
• 1:32:04
  might need for your vehicle that total up to $800.00.
• 1:32:06
  So if you need a bunch of rear suspension arms, boom, you're
• 1:32:09
  getting a bunch of rear suspension arms.
• 1:32:10
  If you need some front tension rods, maybe you need those.
• 1:32:16
  If you're bougie and you want to get some SPL titanium arms,
• 1:32:21
  maybe you're just getting one set of arm.
• 1:32:22
  I don't know. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:32:23
  It really depends. Up to $800 value in whatever
• 1:32:26
  suspension component you wish. Yeah, if you want, you know,
• 1:32:30
  even subframe, rear subframe bushings, technically that's a
• 1:32:33
  suspension component, I would say.
• 1:32:35
  Yeah, actually it might not be. We'll have to talk about that
• 1:32:37
  when you win. But you know, so check out our
• 1:32:40

• 1:32:56
  products. We're going to be doing a lot of

  How's the shop going, Frank? It was very busy.
• 1:35:01
  Now it's slowed down a little bit, but I think it's slowed
• 1:35:03
  down this week because I purposely didn't schedule too
• 1:35:06
  much because I needed to clean the entire shop and we need to
• 1:35:10
  film some stuff on the Z. So I needed to have Chris around
• 1:35:13
  but. Yeah, but busy season is here.

• 1:35:52
  accommodate you. What else, Malcolm?
• 1:35:56
  I feel like I had something else to talk about.
• 1:36:01
  Probably our probably our YouTube.
• 1:36:04
  Yeah, our YouTube's going pretty well.
• 1:36:07
  We do have a lot more content to film this month.
• 1:36:11
  There's actually a lot of stuff we have to do, so stay tuned on
• 1:36:14
  our YouTube. Yeah, if we could get this this
• 1:36:18
  content filmed and done right now.
• 1:36:22
  I feel like there's going to be a lot in store for this summer
• 1:36:25
  content wise, So if we could get this done ASAP, YouTube's going
• 1:36:30
  to be lit in a few few months. Yeah.
• 1:36:33
  For a few months, I'll say. You know, I always have stuff to
• 1:36:37
  say in these outros, but then I forget, oh, here's one thing.
• 1:36:45
  If you guys are interested in US doing a, My idea here is we're
• 1:36:48
  going to do some kind of swap meet, JDM swap meet.
• 1:36:52
  So we're going to we're going to make a post, see if anyone's
• 1:36:56
  interested in being a vendor here.
• 1:36:58
  We'll give you a little 10 by 10 space, maybe a little smaller.
• 1:37:02
  It'll be on a Sunday. Bring your parts that you want
• 1:37:04
  to sell. It'll be cheap.
• 1:37:07
  We just charge you a vendor fee and then boom, you can sell your
• 1:37:10
  parts here. We tell everyone what's going on
• 1:37:13
  and people just come by and see if they want to buy any used
• 1:37:15
  parts because we have a lot of used parts here that we are
• 1:37:17
  going to be organizing and we need to sell some of them.
• 1:37:21
  So I figure why not let everyone sell their stuff and we all have
• 1:37:25
  a little meet. Here's the problem, we all know
• 1:37:27
  what happened last time we had a meet here.
• 1:37:29
  So if you're going to buy something, come by.
• 1:37:32
  If you're not, don't even come by.
• 1:37:34
  Let us know if you want to do something like this, if you guys
• 1:37:36
  are looking for something like this.
• 1:37:37
  I feel like no one really does anything like this right now,
• 1:37:40
  you know? Yeah, and please carpool if
• 1:37:43
  you're coming. Yeah, literally carpool.
• 1:37:44
  It's not going to be a car show, so please carpool.
• 1:37:46
  Yeah, no car show, nothing like that.
• 1:37:48
  Just swap meet. So parts stuff like that.
• 1:37:52
  All right, our sponsors, East Coast Drift School, of course, I
• 1:37:58
  don't know what else there is to say, but if you guys don't know
• 1:38:00
  about Raceway Park at this point, you've probably been
• 1:38:02
  living under a rock. So you might want to get that
• 1:38:03
  figured out. But Raceway Park is the best
• 1:38:06
  drift track in the tri-state area over here in New Jersey.
• 1:38:10
  I want to say it's the best drift track in the country, but
• 1:38:13
  I don't know, might be a little biased, I don't know.
• 1:38:16
  But basically Chris Knapp is running East Coast Drift School
• 1:38:18

• 1:38:20
  lessons, private sea time, basically everything.
