Shamus: And for those of you guys who don't know all three listeners out there, uh, me and Paul actually went to high school together and he was a part of that crew, man. He was a part of that. Yeah. The botchery crew. A lot of good times. Paul: God that guy. Good times. Lucky we're still here. That's for sure. Cheers. Herbie: it Shamus: That is the yeah, here's Herbie: years. That's a good fine frosty pint. Shamus: So what have been up to since high school? Paul: Nothing, you know, I got married, got divorced and you know, I got two kids, Madison and Mackenzie ⁓ and started my own business, know, after you know, getting divorced, it was kind of a crazy time for me because I had a great paying job. And it kind of all went down the toilet when all that. divorce stuff started happening. So Mackles with me full time. So I needed something a little more flexible with scheduling. And I really had no I kind of got I wanted to start something ⁓ from my own window tanning. I've been doing it for years. I had to put a break I had to put the brakes on it for a little while just because of certain situations. I worked with another company, but with my scheduling, was hard to keep the schedule. So I kind of got forced into it earlier than I wanted to. But I sat down. I'm with an amazing woman right now. And I sat down with her and she said, just do it. Here we are, man. Shamus: Okay. Herbie: So there for you, Shamus: And how long you been doing it? Paul: I've been tinting windows for quite a while. I started the business April last year. full time, ⁓ you know, everything the way it should be for a little over a year now. So and it took off like a rocket. ⁓ Apparently people like what I do. They love the work that I do. And, you know, I always never schedule things. where I'm like, I gotta go, okay, I gotta go. Usually I'm there half an hour afterwards talking to people and when they write the reviews, that's one thing they say, great guy, easy to talk to, this and that. So it really took off and I don't regret it. I don't miss what I used to do or anything like that. So it's really working out right now. Shamus: Good. Herbie: Guess it really is as the full swills it then it just worked out the way it should have. You know what mean? Paul: Yeah, you know, it could have went either way. I mean, you know, making that leap to just not do something where there's a guaranteed paycheck every week, working for somebody else to now you have to do it, you have to make the schedule, you have to make sure the works there. I mean, it's it's nerve wracking. It's especially so it's like, yeah, yeah. But, you know, like I said, it worked out and Shamus: ⁓ yeah, it's all on you, especially when you have two kids. Paul: But you know, you got the right support system. It really, really took off. Herbie: You're like that courage. You're like, know, when you have someone backing you up, man, especially like your lady friend. Yeah. Sounds like, know, you got an idea to be able to like, yeah, now's the time to do it, man. Just like the, like they urge you on. Paul: Yeah, I mean, we literally sat around one night. mean, what happened was I ended up getting suspended from work for three days. ⁓ Yeah, it wasn't crazy. It was just the time that I needed to take off to deal with Mac. So they suspended me. And then I came back, and then a week later, they suspended me again for another week. So it was kind of like... the wheels are in motion. The problem's not gonna go away. Things are not gonna change. So when I came after I got suspended for the week, said, we're sitting on the couch and she said, look, just do it. Just say you're leaving. Email whoever you have to email. You leave on your terms instead of them firing you. Herbie: That's true too. Because I don't even really think when you leave, a lot of companies don't really value that you're doing it the right way. No. You're still kind of shit on you anyway. So it's like fuck them. Shamus: Yeah, they don't care anymore. It's not the way it used to be. Paul: No, that whole two week thing and yeah, and all that that goes out the window. Herbie: I'm gonna put it my two weeks like hey you can fuck off now. about that? Paul: Yeah, they'll walk you right out. So we, you know, I sent the email, you I thought about it for a week, week and a half. And after that, you know, I started hearing rumors, you know, well, the next time you have to have out or the next time you're not going to be here or whatever, you know, they're going to get rid of you. So I just said, that's it. It beat him to the point. Shamus: beat them to the punch. Herbie: almost you can thank the job for being dick faces. I just like it just like fulfill your destiny. Paul: I to like what I do. I was a reefer mechanic by trade and I've done it for a lot of years, but I think with the situation I was in at that point in time, I was with one company for 13 years and I loved it there. But there was a lot of things that were going on where it was coincidental that marriage ended, lost job all within that month. Herbie: Jesus Christ, that's like a goddamn movie. Shamus: Well, sometimes it really is actually a blessing. Yeah. Like you said. Paul: It's a blessing. It was a long time coming, I think. Shamus: So do you know anything about the history of window tinting or anything like that? Paul: The history of window tinting, I don't go back that far. mean, if want to start asking me questions, you know. Shamus: No, no, no. I always do research for these. I do more work now. Book work now that I did when we were in school. Apparently, window tinting first started in 350 BC by the Romans, the Mesopotamians and the Egyptians. They discovered a way to tint and put embellishments in glass, which is a sign of luxury. And then in Europe, it showed up at 100 AD with stained glass windows for churches and all that stuff like that. So, I mean, you haven't been tending that long. Paul: No, you know how many people are gonna are gonna listen to this like the tint windows like damn that's how it happened like Herbie: Yeah. ⁓ Shamus: Well here, I'm going to give them some other stuff to help push your business here. Window titting blocks up to 99 percent of harmful ultraviolet rays helping to prevent interior cracking and reducing sun damage to passenger skin, which is a huge thing now, like melanoma and skin cancer and all that stuff like that. Not only that, when you're paying eighty thousand dollars for a fucking pickup truck now, which is absolutely ridiculous, you definitely don't want to sit in the sun just baking in the driveway. Yeah. And your interior being one hundred and ninety degrees so. Paul: That is true. Shamus: And then it says high quality films, certain tents significantly lower cabin temperature. This causes less strain on your AC, which helps improve fuel efficiency. It reduces glare reduction from the sun and oncoming headlights, LED lights, I can't stand LED lights on cars, man. You know. Herbie: Yeah, they're way too bright, Paul: I have a real problem driving at night, now I've noticed. Like it's, especially in the rain. Holy shit. Like with the light, the reflection. Absolutely. Shamus: Is your windshield? Is your windshield tinted? Herbie: Yeah Paul: You know what the crazy thing about my Jeep is? I could have the tops off and you still can't see inside that thing. Still can. Herbie: Wow. That's good. Shamus: Are you going to talk me up with the same deal then? Herbie: Yeah, right. Paul: Well, you know, listen, if you're going on date night, it's great that people can't see. Shamus: Yeah. I mean, it always worked both ways in my case. Herbie: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Paul: And that's the music I'm playing too. Herbie: ⁓ yeah. Shamus: The blind day gets in. I'm like, man, I'm glad my shit's tennis. Nobody sees me with her and she's thinking the same thing. So it works both ways. Or I pull up with the light and you like, just kind of cracked the window. He's like, put that shit back up, Herbie: Yeah. you Paul: You know the crazy thing the Jeep is that dark because Mac plays a lot of soccer and You know when she goes somewhere if she has to get changed I just hop out I go grab a soda at the vending machine or whatever and she's got Portable locker room. Right? And you can't see shit in there. So and she's very like private kids So, you know, she's always worried about you know, if you could see in and I said listen you there ain't no light coming in through there. So Shamus: Well, let me ask you this. say film darkness, the percentage of tint doesn't dictate performance. Lighter premium ceramic is better than a cheap darker dyed film. Correct. So, I mean, you can ask for 35 percent, but if it's like the high quality stuff, it'll be darker than the actual crap stuff. Paul: That is correct. Yep, like you if you do like ⁓ carbon a tint Like it yeah, absolutely. That's what I have a my Jeep haven't switched up to ceramic. Okay, I used carbon Got six or seven years ago and it still looks like the day I put it on so I'm like I'm not changing it But I mean, you know, you can go with like a 5 % carbon which Shamus: That's a thing? Paul: lets less of the light in but you can do a 35 % ceramic that won't let any of that heat in. Wow. So it's a lighter tint. Yeah. But still keeps out a lot of the heat. Shamus: So ceramics Herbie: That's freaking- Shamus: Yeah, they were saying some of the types of tint like back in 66 3m actually started it. The first adhesive dyed based film. They actually had spray tint back in the 60s. And they said it would just run everywhere and stuff and it probably caused cancer. I don't know if you've ever done this, but I had a Jeep before this one and had the canvas, but like canvas. So I just rattle candy inside black. So like we got pulled over one time and the cop walked up and hit the light. He was just like. Herbie: Yeah, it kind of makes sense. Paul: which you call spray paint. Herbie: It was like, ⁓ Shamus: open your door for a minute. I opened it and he stuck his hand on the other side. He was like, what the fuck is that? I was like, dude, that's spray gate, man. He was like, you know how illegal that is? was like, I do now. Herbie: ⁓ you Paul: Very illegal. But yeah, it's... Window 10 has definitely come a long way. Shamus: Oh, yeah, no doubt. They said the first set it was like dyed and that's the stuff like you see on your grandmother's car that's purple and you get the bubbles in it and stuff like that. That didn't last too long. And then then they had the carbon, the carbon fiber stuff you were talking about. It's like the no fade. It's like a matte color like a matte. Is that true? Yeah. And then ceramic, which is all the rage right now, has nano particles of like metal and stuff in it. Paul: doing right now. Shamus: It blocks the heat best. said Miritant was a thing, too. But in the early 90s, it was screwing up like GPS systems and cellular phones were taken off and it wasn't getting the signal. They said in 19 was it the 1990 Chevy Corvette had it on the front of the windshield and cops couldn't hit it with the radar gun because it was just bouncing off. couldn't get a proper read on stuff. So that's why Miritant is now illegal. Paul: I don't install any of that. I don't install anything with color. You know, I get a lot of people ask me, know, do you have the red, the green? ⁓ I don't install any of that stuff. Herbie: place. Shamus: Yeah, I was gonna say because it's kind of I don't even I can't remember the last time I've actually seen Meritent. Herbie: Like I want all the illegal stuff. Paul: I had a guy I used to work with he he had a infinity and he pulls up and this thing looked like a damn spaceship and I'm like what in the hell have you done and it was all married like ⁓ my god but you know what when when the Sun hits that I mean it damn near blinds you if you're drunk so it's like I don't even I don't even mess with it I don't I don't even bother Shamus: Yeah, everybody else gets... Right. Herbie: Jesus Christ. I like that carbonite one though. That one sounds pretty cool. The carbonite one. The nanotechnology. Paul: i mean carbon you carbon is very affordable ⁓ you know if somebody just wants to look ⁓ and they want to keep the heat out it does keep a lot of the heat out once you start getting into ceramic it starts getting really costly people definitely you know they try and get the ceramic for the carbon prices but for what a carbon roll costs there's just no way Herbie: How long does it normally last? Paul: It all depends how good the install is. ⁓ I mean, like I said, you the carbon on my Jeep is probably six or seven years old. Yeah. And it's it doesn't, you know, it hasn't faded. It hasn't hasn't peeled. hasn't, you know, it all depends who installs it. I've seen some I've seen some horrible installs where they had it installed last year, you know, and it's coming apart like in the size of tic tacs. I'm like, ⁓ God. But You Shamus: That's what you pay for though. You gotta do your research when you go to your shops and stuff like that. Paul: And that's what I go back and forth with, know, dealing with, you know, I love the customers that I have, but dealing with the general public. Yeah. Whoa. Shamus: ⁓ no doubt. Herbie: Like the fact that is that you have like good reviews that a lot of people can go on that instead of just like they're going in blind and thinking they know what they're talking about and not know. then. Shamus: Let's give a little let's give them a little background on that. How does it work? I call you and say hey, I'm thinking about getting my Jeep Tinted up Paul: call me ⁓ I ask what you're looking to get done you know if you tell me it's four doors rear window or complete car you know I give you a price I don't take it Shamus: Well, obviously you come out and look too. Paul: I'll out. Well, I'll pull it up on the online as I'm talking to you. So I asked you if it's got 10 on it already, which I've had a handful of people say, ⁓ no. And then I get out there. I'm like, yo, what is this? I just had one because I didn't know the gap is like an inch from the top of your window. How the hell do you So it's like, you know, but back to the general public. So. Shamus: Okay. Herbie: Yeah. Paul: If it's four doors rear window, I'll give you a price. don't take deposits right now. People keep telling me take deposit, take deposits, I require address, phone number, contact number. I'll call you the night before if the schedule is OK. And I'll be out at the scheduled date. And it's worked for me. But you know, as far as deposits, I might start doing that in the future just because, you know, I do have days where, you know, call the night before that morning confirming, I'm coming out, I'll be out there at nine and you get no answer. It's like, OK, well, fuck. Yeah, here we go. So I'm lucky where I have other people that are trying to get in earlier. Yeah. So I call them like, listen, I had a cancellation. Do you still want to get early? And boom, you know, we're. Shamus: Yeah, nice. Paul: We're right there, so I don't miss too much, but I do get annoyed when I have to rear end shit just because. Herbie: What about like, if you have like a cancellation list, this way you can always like have that in the back of your mind in case they try to re-contact you and. Paul: Yeah, you know, I've had people cancel and they've got back to me two weeks later. You know, I'm definitely cheaper than, the shops. The shops right now are just, They're just Shamus: See, that's mind blowing to me because I think who the fuck wants to go sit in the goddamn window, like drop your car off, get an Uber home. So he's coming right to your front door. Yeah. So that's why he's going to do my shit. Yeah. Because I'm one of them dudes. I was like, man, I got to get these tenant and I just never have the time or just don't want to do it because I don't want to go sit in these shops. Paul: Yeah, actually. Actually had a lady she took it to one of my local 10 shops and she took the car. She got an Uber home and by the time she got home, they called her and ⁓ your car's done. So then she had to turn around and get another fucking Uber and, go back. And I actually did the second car for never again. She goes, never again. She goes, never fucks up your whole day. No, it's this whole schedule and shit. Shamus: Yeah. Paul: But I'm real adamant on getting there on time and I'm creeping up on 100 reviews right now, which for being a solo guy is pretty. Shamus: Yeah, I just gonna say it's just you right? You don't have a crew yet or anything? Have you thought about expanding or having anybody else come on? Paul: Amen. thought about it because it you know you lose a lot of not I'm not gonna say you lose but there are people where they want it done yeah everybody wants it done yesterday you know I mean so it's like well um we can have two weeks out and that's the way it's starting to be right now so they're like okay I'll get back to you where if I did have somebody else who'd be like okay well I send the guy out there tomorrow exactly and that's the way trying to stop Herbie: and they start shopping around and stuff like that. Shamus: That's how society is nowadays. ⁓ I need it. I'll just go to Amazon and order and we'll be here tomorrow. Paul: There's one thing I've learned about people that want their windows done. They do not wait. They will not wait. And then you know, go to, there's always somebody cheaper and then that's what it is. They start shopping around ⁓ and they find somebody cheaper. And then a month or two later, I'm redoing the windows. So now you've ended up spending more money than you originally wanted to because you decided to jump ship and. Shamus: Yep. Herbie: Man. Paul: new Mo. Herbie: Have some patience people if you want quality it takes time Paul: time. Shamus: cars average in a week. Holy moly, you're trying to. Herbie: Aye indeed it is. Paul: 10, I'm doing probably, I don't know, 14, 16 cars a week. And I try not to, I won't schedule anything where I'm like, you if I come to your house, I always leave enough time where if shit don't go right, I'm not like, well, you know what, fuck it, I gotta go. And. Shamus: Nice. Yeah, you know. Herbie: Yeah, it's true. That's good though. Paul: you know, I will replace that window or I will not leave. I don't leave until I like it. Yeah, which customers come out and they're like, ⁓ yeah, looks great. Calm down. You know, it's like calm down. So, you know, I don't leave until like today. I mean, I did a rap for today and it's like Herbie: like, ⁓ that little. Paul: I felt like I was there forever. And it was like, by the time I left, it looked great. But I wouldn't schedule shit where it's like, you know, now you're just a number for me. And I hate that whole thought process. And like I said, I ended up standing there talking to people, you know, 2530 minutes when I'm done and I'm looking at the clock. Shamus: Are you hooked in any businesses yet or like does any like like like enterprise run like any kind of fleet deal or anything like hey Come on out and knock out 20 of these Paul: Not yet because you know technically is still illegal in New Jersey. Shamus: What? Yeah. Yeah. ⁓ I know. We're going to get to that. Yeah. Paul: It's you know if they if they you know enterprise does it and then somebody smacks up their car you know they can always go I couldn't see Shamus: Well, no, I didn't mean like the cars are rent, but I meant like, you know, for the corporate people and shit like that or you know, if like I own a tree stump company or something and be like, hey, I got 10 trucks. I just got in. You get that stuff. Paul: ⁓ I get a lot of... I get a lot of them. Herbie: Good. You're a coven of vampires and you need to like day walk through a day drive. Just a fleet of vampire cars for the coven. Paul: Yeah, I do a lot of work for landscaping companies. them boys man you know you're fitting seven or eight people in them trucks man it gets hot so mean gotta Herbie: Find a way to cool down. This time to you, man. This this type of weather, you definitely need like soft to be able to. The damn car, it's like being like the little kid, you know, when they have like the leather seats, when you're looking, you're in the little. ⁓ yeah. Because you're cooking like bacon. Shamus: That 67 out there has got leather seats, dude. I was in it today rolling up the windows like, what's that? Herbie: Yeah, it's like seared Paul: Peels the hair off your legs. Shamus: Yeah, I love some Harold that song bitch Herbie: Smells like boiled bologna. Shamus: Well, a lot of the because I was just going to get to that. kind of work hand in hand with the state police now being the SRO in the township I work in because there's no regular police department, state police cover, and they all have tint on their way. And I bust their balls because they leave there when they're in the school, they leave their cars running because just in case there's an emergency, they just get it and go because some of those things are biggest piece of shit on the planet and they go to start and they won't. So they have all the. Herbie: That's good. Shamus: They have have 10 on the windows and I'm always busting your balls about it. Like I should. It's I don't know. You don't know. I'm like, bitch, I am the law. We're talking about. But ⁓ apparently talking to them today, because I knew you were coming on and after busting your chops about it, ⁓ no 10 on the front windshield unless it's like the factory like that, that little tent at the top with either it's like blue or it's like the little bubble things. Not on the front two doors. but you can have the back doors and the back windows as dark as you want. Herbie: That makes sense. mean, you know, any cop trying to pull someone over and you can't see in there, it's like Jesus Christ. Shamus: A lot of the times it depends. I don't know how to put this without sounding like they're profiling. ⁓ If you're in Camden and you have tin all around your windows and it's bumping like the end, they're pulling you over, dude. And they're, know, just to search the card. But like if you're around here, like a lot of retired cops, that's why I want to get done is they all their shit's tented. All active cops. Their stuff because you don't want to be sitting at a light and see like a perp you fucking rest of the week. You go like, ⁓ that's that mother. So, yeah, they really don't bust, especially if you have a badge. But they really don't pass balls unless you're an asshole about it. Front windshields, they do. But like the two side front doors, they really don't. Paul: I can't. Herbie: Dude, if I was a cop. Yeah, well, yeah. If I was a cop and I was in Amish country and had to pull over a car that was completely tinted, I'm still like, yeah, my hands on my fricking weapon. I know. Paul: I, you know. Shamus: But she said it best. said it's either cops or criminals are the only people that really tint their shit. Because either you're trying to hide something or you're trying to hide something. ⁓ Paul: Yeah, that is true. you know I tell people all time you know the the side windows you know I they've really become lacks on you know they don't pull your for sideways ⁓ Herbie: Or you're a coven of vampires. ⁓ Shamus: They don't even bust your balls at an inspection about it anymore. Herbie: That's all like inspection anymore. Just worried about like, ⁓ admissions. Paul: They just want your they just want your registration money. That's all. Yeah. You know, I tell people with windshields all the time, you know, this, I do a lot of windshields. It's like everybody and their mother wants a windshield done. Yeah. And I tell them, you know, listen, at some point in time, they are going to start cracking down on windshields because now they can't see shit in your car. Yeah. And you know, and then they look at my van while yours is up. Okay, stop. It's like it's like the pot calling the kettle black. I know. But I'm just trying to save you a ticket. Yeah. Shamus: Well, lot of it. Herbie: if you are pushing smack. Guys to blame. Shamus: One thing they did relay and told me, he me I could put this out on the air if you ever stop, whether it's state police, local police, sheriff, whatever, if you get pulled over and if you have a baby in the car and it's five degrees out, don't do it. But if you have tent all around your car, I mean, you can't roll down to which just roll down all the windows before they even walk up. That's true. That way they can just look in and then they're not going to bust your balls if you do that. Paul: that's common sense. ⁓ absolutely. If you're going to roll around with a car that's that's as dark as that. And you know. Herbie: We got a society that doesn't have common sense, man. I mean, there's people eating fucking Tide Pods. So gauge yourself, people. That's all I'm saying. If not, good luck. Shamus: So yeah, just hit them windows real quick. And they walk up. Paul: hit the window and that's you know it's funny you talk about that because I've never been pulled over from my car never I don't I don't have a license plate on the front you know it's black as shit Shamus: They're not awesome would before you get up out of here. Herbie: Yeah, man, cause you in Medford now, cause... Paul: my girlfriend took my Jeep and she calls me she goes I just got pulled over I said for what she said I think it was the license plate but then he came up and started talking about the windows I said did you get a ticket she goes no I said then we're good but she's the only one that's been that's been pulled over in that car Herbie: Well, maybe, she's, know, with all due respect, not to be, you know, but maybe she was hot and it was like, wait a minute, hold on. Paul: Well, you can't see in there anyway, so he can't see you're driving. Shamus: Same shit happened to my nephew. He borrowed my car when he was home and I don't have a license plate on the front. I don't have 10, but I have a license plate. And I've been driving that car for six years without a license plate on the front. He drove it one time from here to shop, right? Which is five minutes and he got stopped. They're like, where's the plate? He was like, he's a military police officer. So he tinned them and they were like, all right, you're good. Tell your uncle to find a plate. It was just like, are you serious? I couldn't even tell you where that plate's at. Paul: Yeah, I told her, I said, it's in the back in that little trunk thing. It's Herbie: Probably do is like to avoid all that stuff getting pulled over. Maybe you can get like a one of those Domino's pizza like lights you put on top of the car and it be like a technically a pizza driverless car. You know what mean? Paul: It's just... Shamus: Well, always thought, it's funny because Pennsylvania is actually starting to do away with how they do their inspection because they rip your car apart. So they're going to do Jersey part of it where they just do the admissions thing because it's costing everybody way too much on it. And now New Jersey is talking about doing the Pennsylvania plates thing. So you're not going to get two plates. You're just going to get one because it's costing the state a ton of fucking money to print pleat. Paul: ⁓ my god. Yeah, but think about it. When you get pulled over, they're pulling you over from the back. Shamus: Yeah, well, I mean, with photo recognition and all these cameras everywhere now, what the hell do you need a plate on the front for anyway? Paul: so i mean what you know what's what's the point you know the best for your from from Shamus: Everybody's got a cellphone in their car, they can track you with that anyway. Most of these cars do have a tracking device. Herbie: give out the new one man I want that bad guys car don't give out too many secrets Shamus: Guys for caught two people at this table wouldn't be here tonight, brother Paul: You'll be doing the show by yourself. Shamus: I I said I wasn't always a cop. I fractioned occasional law or two, but I was Paul: ⁓ my god. Herbie: You ⁓ Paul: I get mad at the ones I got called for. You go back to the ones that I should have got called for. It's like, holy. Herbie: But not for nothing, man. It's not like you guys are Scarface like pushing the yay. ⁓ and stuff like that. Yeah. I mean, it's just. Paul: my yo listen we had some good times we really did really did Herbie: guy. Shamus: So what was the, is there a certain vehicle that you absolutely hate to tint? Like what's the hardest kind of car to tint? Herbie: court. Paul: I hate Volkswagen's The bugs I fucking hate them. It's like people call me and the guy I got Volkswagen Jetta. I got what I'm like, ⁓ Shamus: What do mean, like the bugs? Or the golfs or the, or just Volkswagen's in general? Herbie: as the shape of the window or because like you're big and like it's kind of hard to get a backseat. Paul: bug. Just the window, the back window is just it's so curved at the back. Yeah, you know, you got to you got to when you cut it out, you know, you got to put it on there and then you have to heat it up to shrink it down to the shape of the window. It's just it's an awkward window. But I've come to find all the German cars, the window gaskets, the seals, everything is just so damn near airtight that it's just Herbie: Yes, Germany. And the technicians are very efficient, are. Shamus: you Paul: You ain't hear no wind whistle through them windows. Yeah, but probably Volkswagen's. Volkswagen's. did a race car once, a Fox body. Bro, this dude had a roll cage. He had the fuel cell in the back. I'm like, what the hell? Shamus: Nice. ⁓ Those of you who don't know all three listeners and you don't know anything about Mustangs, 79 to 93 93 Ford Mustang, the ones when we were in high school. Yeah, that was my baby. Paul: 89 I think. Yeah. It looked like I had the shit kicked out of me doing that one because he had like zip ties everywhere and I'm like trying to squeeze in between the bars and I'm like what the fuck is going Shamus: going on here. You saw all my dad's drag cars and stuff when I was a kid. So it was the same thing. My dad like I dropped the wrench in the back. Boy, go get it. Oh, my God. So fucking 16 point cage in here with a fuel cell the size of my goddamn bedroom. How the hell am going to get that? Herbie: You got small hands. Paul: Figure it out. No, it's funny. I drove past your parents' house, man, the other day. was just thinking about your pop and stuff and I'm like, Shamus: lot of memories there. lot of beers drinking that garage and on the deck. Paul: crazy man. The upbringing that we had and the shit that we, the way that we lived is just, you're never going to see that again. Shamus: I'll tell you what. the Pals episode, like some of the people, some of the reactions we got from that people were just like, man, I remember a lot of that. Or people were just like, holy shit. That's how it was. Yeah, man. Yeah. Like a lot of people thought I was bullshit. But a lot of people were just like my buddy. If Jimmy's listen, this Jimmy reached out and text me today. He was just like, man, you know, all those times that you'll Mike and stuff and, you know, hanging out like beer and like, dude, it was just it brought back so many memories and how, know, and it was all true. Like, I mean, the shit that we did is Herbie: It's basically what we're hoping to do with the show too because like baby people that are listening like we're hoping that you guys enjoy the memories and all that stuff and I always say before like we're gonna do this without you or with you but if we have the opportunity to be able to bring back some nice memories or actually reconnect people stuff like that the fucking yeah, we're doing it Shamus: Well, another thing is I enjoy it. Like I said, this guy was like a brother to me in high school. So it's good to see these guys start their own businesses and stuff. So another thing we wanted to do is give them a platform to explain what they're doing and get their brand out there. And, you know, hopefully help them along the way with their business because what they did for me as a kid was friendship, loyalty And, you know, it's my way of repaying them back. And I'm sure it is with you, ⁓ Paul: That's one thing that we had back in the day that that kids do not have these days is loyalty ⁓ no doubt will not find that yo listen. You could shake us down. You could threaten us We ain't saying Herbie: Turned dead. Shamus: waterboard us, beat us, bamboo slips under the fingernails. We're not talking. Herbie: There's the low shit in the bed. Paul: It was funny, yo, we got into some shit where, you know, they came into school looking for us and it was like, we looked at each other, you you wink a little bit and you knew, yeah, he didn't say shit. was like... Shamus: Detective scoffs. Herbie: ⁓ my God, dude. But you sure we can't waterboard these kids? Paul: They came close. They came close. now it's like, you know, that that loyalty is just not Shamus: No doubt. Herbie: Yeah, that definitely doesn't... Like I said before, that doesn't die. Paul: No, no, absolutely not. Herbie: Damn, man. Shamus: What's the most expensive car you've ever tinned it? Paul: expensive car I ever tented I did a Ferrari ⁓ my buddy's Ferrari actually did his Audi a8 I do yeah don't tell nobody ⁓ you know you the three Shamus: You know a dude that owns a Ferrari? Herbie: Yeah. Shamus: three people listening. Herbie: I told the lady that at the baggage claim at the airport and actually that think with that one, the one lady at the customer service desk at shop, right. That reviews my rainchecks told her I gave her a sticker. Yeah. Her and her three cats. Shamus: Oh, he's just a little bit a park here. So a Ferrari. Paul: Ferrari I did a buddy's Porsche, you know, you know, the crazy thing is, know, because like I played soccer for so many years and I still play soccer. So. know, the guys I play soccer with now, they're lawyers, they're there, you know, their own business and this and that. And I'm thinking, I'm like, what the am I doing here? And, know, they drive Porsches, Ferraris, BMWs, know, this and that. I'm like, so they're like, as soon as they found out that like, do my cartoon sure you don't let me have it yeah it's Herbie: But like in order for me to test the tint incorrectly, I'm going to have to drive this. Shamus: you Paul: That's right. Shamus: All right. It's the same with me, though, A lot of the guys I was in the military, the one guy, I can't tell you what he did because a lot of us like serious and classified. But now he owns or works for like making like fucking seven figures a year. And like this guy was a meathead. I used to drink beers without the bar. And we're not deployed, you know, doing God's work. Yeah. But I mean, like this guy and then another guy is, you know, his own fitness thing down in Texas and he's making money and he's got his own like he's got like almost a million followers and stuff. And I was just like, Maybe the cop thing wasn't such a good idea. Maybe I have done something else. ⁓ you know, if you help one person, it's all about public service. Paul: Yeah, it's great. It's great to see people succeed Shamus: ⁓ absolutely, doesn't matter what you're doing if you're happy or- Herbie: Happy. That's the best thing that I've noticed about like with like just meeting you and stuff that everyone really is like happy about their friends accomplishments. Yeah. There's no jealousy. Yeah. There's there's nothing. It's great. And I hope people actually. Shamus: ⁓ More because of the loyalty thing like this guy knows like even now like if something were to happen he needed a place to crash No, got you So it but it is good to see ⁓ everybody doing well Paul: It's nice to see, know, listen, we've lost a lot of people along the way. You know, it's a shame to think, you know, some of them were younger than us, know, the couple were older, but it's just to see people, you know, and yeah, flourish and. Shamus: ⁓ no doubt. Herbie: Yeah, so have I too, Paul: We've had some close friends that have passed away and at least we have the opportunity to do it. It's unfortunate. Shamus: unfortunate in our town. seemed like it happened. was just like a god. It was like you couldn't get off the goddamn Ferris wheel. It was just people were just dropping left and right. Herbie: So. Paul: It's like one after the other. You get over one and it's like, guess what? Did you hear? It's like, go ahead. Tell me. And it's always someone that you'd never. But you know. Shamus: Yeah. expected. Herbie: Yeah, guys that sucks, then you got the ones you Shamus: Life goes on. Because those are the dudes that would look at you and go, what are you crying about? Get it together, let's go. Life goes on. Paul: Right. bruscus bruscus would would definitely have some choice words for people that were sad and, you know, moping about the way things turned out. Herbie: true. Shamus: At the viewing at Up in Sea Caucus because he had two. had one up in Sea Caucus. That's where he's from. Then he had one down here. Up at Sea Caucus. During the service, the priest was just like, you know, I have a feeling if Michael was here right now, he would tell us all just three words. And we all like looked at each other, start laughing. And the priest was like, what? I was like, go fuck yourself. Yeah, that's what he was like everybody. ⁓ but like his whole family laughed because they knew that's exactly what he would have said. So. Paul: Yeah, he was a great dude. Yeah, he would have been that guy would hear the thing at the viewing, know, let me out. Herbie: Still is a great dude. ⁓ It's dark. That's your friends, Paul: Yeah, it's dark in here, you know? Shamus: So, ⁓ so what do you got planned? So besides window tending, what else you got planned for this summer? I know you said you play soccer, your daughter plays soccer. She's actually really good. We'll get into that. We'll let you give them a shout out towards the end. Paul: Cheers. Herbie: during this episode, which is awesome. Paul: Nothing really. I mean I'm going to you know we're down the shore a lot. know any any any given moment any given minute.

So they'll be doing their shit. I'll be working, know, sweating my ass off and they'll be enjoying shit. Shamus: I was gonna say you got one in pop-up tents and portable pop-up tents Paul: portable pop up tents. I haven't used it yet. Still in the box. Shamus: I figured this week you'd pop that out. Herbie: You might want to learn how to use that before y'all like game day, man Paul: The heat does not bother me. But I you know, it's the rain. the damn wind. mean, it's windy every day. What the hell? But yeah. You know, but I'll definitely. Yeah, I don't want to get too snipes. So I'll definitely pull it out. Yeah, man. It's good to be. Shamus: Okay. Yeah, man. Herbie: So that's great to have you like soccer. Do you like, you like any of like soccer teams or over the pond? Shamus: He's actually, his family's from England. Herbie: Which way?

Paul: I want to say congratulations. Shamus: Are you going, need a World Cup stuff here in Philly or in FIFU? Paul: I would have loved to have gone but you know apparently they didn't think about you know the the bottom feeders when they made these goddamn prices for the World Cup You know thousand dollar tickets and shit Herbie: Yeah. Yeah, you're definitely gonna have everyone coming across the pond for it Shamus: My company got there are so under man would like if state police is doing security they're people out of Department of Corrections They're actually tasking like retired police officers and security companies that hire retired cops and shit like that They asked me if I wanted to work a hotel and I don't know who the fuck thought of this but they put like Iran and fucking Israel in the same hotel, but I'm like, I'm not working security there. Are you fucking? Herbie: Are you serious? ⁓ Shamus: Somebody actually at my job was just like, shit, we should probably, yeah, you should probably call the hotel and tell them that they're. Herbie: tailgate that though, man. Paul: There are no moments at that hook. Shamus: But I hopefully they got moved but they were like, hey, because they're going to be staying all over the place. They're staying all around here. Like every hotel is booked that whole week. It's crazy. People renting out their houses and shit. And it's why I mean, just for fame. Herbie: window day. Paul: I don't think they're ready for it. I think they're you know, it's gonna be one of them things where They're gonna learn the hard way, you know fans fans here are not the same as European fans Absolutely not and and you know, you could say that for the whole Sports thing, you know as far as soccer girls or whatever in this country compared to everyone else They're not the same and they're gonna come over here in boat Herbie: Yeah, they're going to learn. ⁓ Shamus: Yep. ⁓ no. Paul: Even if they can't afford the tickets, they're gonna be here because it's in the United States. ⁓ They're gonna be all the watch parties and and they're gonna act like fucking hooligans like they do Shamus: That's what I said. They were on a on the TV thing on Airbnb their commercials then or what's the other one? Yeah. Hey, we need houses. Rent your house out to fans coming over here from what I know is just like you're out here. Paul: I wouldn't even rent my house to family members that would come in. They just wouldn't know how to act. Shamus: I was just... Herbie: Sing the song. Shamus: Is that the Simpsons when the crowd keepers were like, you caught us all right? Let's show them boy. Herbie: I'm Paul: I told Mac, said, you know, we'll definitely figure out where the watch parties are, like some of the pubs and stuff. And I said, I will take you, you know, and you can experience what it's like to be, you know, because she's a phenomenal player. So you can experience what it's like to be around those type of. Herbie: Yeah. I do like the fact that, you know, especially over across the pond, there will have like the scarves of every of every team. So it's almost like Harry Potter, like Slytherin versus like Gryffindor. And they just like beat the shit out of each other. Was like, oh, yes, even if everyone's going to see it live soon, don't you worry. And then there's going to be like, you know, the Brits against the US, there's going to be those lads do. Shamus: because you're going to get it. I've Green Street Hogan's Yeah. Paul: those fans are just, they're just. Shamus: So the cheapest tickets for like just a preliminary games are a grand. Paul: they're expensive as shit. I've seen them for nine, nine 69. And then and then you know, they're charging you $300 for parking because they're trying. They're trying to keep all the riffraff out. That's what they're trying to do. Yeah. And you know, they've Philly was was going to ban the tailgate like they were. If I'm sorry, FIFA said no tailgate. And Philly said no, we're not doing that. Shamus: ⁓ no doubt. working. Herbie: I mean, I mean, I can understand their point, but I also see the point because. Paul: I get Shamus: Yeah, but then it loses it. So the next time they come up for bid, people are gonna be like, well, we get the chance to tailgate it was blah that city saw Paul: Yeah, Herbie: If you think about it, they don't like over across the pond. There's no tailgate. Paul: They wake up drunk. Shamus: Yeah, no, they all just sit at the pub and then they to the stand Herbie: There's some spots that like that, like nothing's open during game day. So you better like ration your shit and get it to like a couple of days prior to man, because, know, there's not the stores are not going to be open. That's what I went over there for football. There was no tailgates. I'm thinking we're going to buy like, you know, like sausages and all that stuff. No tailgates. None. Yeah, when they come over here, it's just a whole brand new experience for you. Shamus: Okay. Paul: They were ready to go. Herbie: I have feeling like people from across the pond are going to have more of an experience experiencing the American tailgates. And including the game is just, you know, for us, it's the huge, like, it's like the huge thing, but they don't have that type of stuff over there. So they're just going to lose their shit. Paul: Yeah, think people in Europe, especially England, everybody would love to come to the US because they see what it's like on TV and everything's bigger and better and things like that. they're definitely going to have that experience here where it's going to be like, wow. But if FIFA tries to regulate what goes on here, it's going to be like, it's going to be a f***. Herbie: The airports are going to be nuts. I can kind of see where they want to do, cause you're going to have like, dare I say the corruption of people here influencing and just melding. It's going to be like, it's going to be a crock pot soup of fuckery. Paul: I think the people hearing him are like, what the? Shamus: I Herbie: Yeah. Shamus: ⁓ no doubt. Well, it was like that in 94 when they had it up in Rutherford because Brascus, we ran up there for it. And like that whole neighborhood was just like, what the f... Look these mannequins over here. Look at these fucking guys. They're like, it was just crazy. ⁓ Herbie: Yeah, songs and That's a difference between it though. Like we, they have songs. We've got like beer pong. I'm not shitting on beer pong, but I'm just saying they, actually have got. Yeah, but it's like songs and like, there's like, even when something's going bad or something, they, they'll even have songs of their own team sucking. They'll have, it's just a whole bunch of stuff, man. It's, great. Shamus: Well, the Eagles have a fight, Paul: If you listen to the fans over there and you listen to the way that the stadium is Herbie: Completely different Shamus: I've seen because because I hang out with guys like Jared Claude Bailey every once in a while. They'll watch it at their house and shit. And I'm just kind of like, can file. know the rules and all that stuff. I just don't understand the different tiers. Like if you don't win a certain amount of games, you get knocked down a group. I don't know who's in what league or something like that. But like you see those guys with the whole. Vovazol is, you know, and those fans are absolutely. Herbie: I got the vuvuzela, got It's the British version of the dig to redo ⁓ Shamus: Pretty much. Paul: and and ⁓ Herbie: Nope. Even like, you know, the applause and the crowd is more on the state. It's just like, come on, But like when I was in like London in Germany, I mean, granted, Deutschland, thank you so much for hosting me that. But like, you got to know the words to sweet Caroline. But they're like, ⁓ my god. Right. Maybe that's the German edit. But OK. But they're they're great guys, though. But the whole atmosphere is fun. anyone that's listening, like travel, it's cool. Boy, have security for now. Paul: Yeah, I don't know if I'd want to work security for that. Shamus: And we're talking about the hotel. Like we're not even talking like down at the park. Herbie: You got like, you know, active war going on. You got like Iran and Israel. yeah. Shamus: My liaison said she was going to look into that too and maybe get switched around if she can through the high drops. But yeah, they're to be staying all over this area. There's like a team state. There's a couple of teams staying right up at right near the Morse Town Mall. I don't know. What's that? 7073. We're. That's the hell is the name of it. The loft or something like that. There's a team staying there and there's a couple of the team staying further up the road. Herbie: kind of makes sense. How great would that be? You guys go to Jay's elbow room and the next thing you you got a whole soccer hole. Paul: whole soccer team. Shamus: That's a whole, that place is like that every Friday night. Yeah. Just got shot there like two months ago. ⁓ Herbie: But like without scarves. ⁓ yeah. Good for you, Jay's elbow room. It has to be up and running. That's where. Paul: I can't believe that place is still up and running. Shamus: Like that movie The Hangover, dude, we were drinking at my brother's nephew's house and my nephew's a huge drinker. And he was just like, that's good. Yeah. So let's go to the elbow room. We pulled up and I stood outside. I was like, somebody needs to burn this fucking. Because it was the same way it was 30 years ago. God. Paul: Why change it? They know people are gonna come in. They're always people that should have been done hours ago. And you know what the crazy thing is, the people that go in there that late at night, you know, they don't remember what the fucking place looks like anyway, so they could paint it pink. I don't know. Yeah, you know. Herbie: should be like an old guy. down. ⁓ Shamus: I don't know what the hell we're thinking because bars and Riverside would close it to the elbow was open till 3 So we're like, let's go to the elbow room and by the time we got there if you had enough time You got one fucking beer. So like we risk life limb DUI so that one extra beer that one extra Herbie: Great idea! ⁓ Paul: good thing about the Ova Room was if you got in there before they closed, they would throw you out. Herbie: ⁓ no! Shamus: No, no, no. But the problem was if you couldn't get into that backside because it was just you actually had to order a beer through people. Yeah. If you didn't have social skills, you weren't getting a goddamn beer. Yeah. Like they would hand it through the crowd. was almost like being at a baseball game when you were in seat 25 and the beer dudes that seat one. But if you were inside, he's right. You're just like, yeah, you're good. Herbie: We're at the parking lot. Yeah, it should be like an old guy that says, be mindful that this is a hive of scum and villainy. Shamus: Bye. Paul: I remember going to a bar down down at Seaside once and it was it was God we got down there so late and me and Matt think I'm so we got there and the girl was like we're almost closed I'm like okay well let's have a beer or two and then she goes but if you pre-buy your drinks we're not gonna throw you out so we bought a couple beers and we end up buying a whole bottle of the black house ⁓ Shamus: No, no. ⁓ Herbie: ⁓ That's it good. I do like black Paul: Not anymore, it ain't. So we ended up, dude, we left out of there like, God, 3.30, four o'clock in the morning, walked out down five steps, walked out the door right into a right into a circle of cops, dude. You know, short cops like you. All right, sure. My car was the only one in parking lot, Only one there. And I'm like. Herbie: Like seven. Shamus: They didn't even have to chalk them tires, bro. Herbie: not talking. Paul: They're. Yo, the trees were growing around the tires. I'm like, fuck. So they're like, yeah, yeah, we just passing through. I was like, OK, like you. Where are you heading? We're leaving seaside. OK. Yeah. I was on my way home. I ended up due to windows are down the tops off in the escort. Remember that? Shamus: steps. Do it carefully. ⁓ the fang. Paul: I fell asleep driving home. He was asleep in the passenger seat. I fell asleep and I ended up going off the road, bro. And I ended up hitting a fucking deer that was already. And woke me up and I'm like, what the fuck was that? And my buddy, Matt, was like, he goes, what the fuck did you hit? I'm like, I don't know. So I turned around. I had shit all down the side of the car. This deer had been dead for days. Herbie: ⁓ my god. Shamus: He dead. Herbie: Yeah Paul: But saved our asses coming home. I'm like, yo, yo, it was dead. It was right there in the shoulder dead. Herbie: Dude, how crazy? It was already dead! Shamus: We called it the Fang because he wrecked the front end of it. And the only thing that was on the front where there's two headlights and the way they were, they were like facing down like this. And if you remember the Ford Escort, they look like giant chicklets. So at night it looked like two teeth coming at you. So we called it the Fang. Paul: I so mad. I fell asleep. I fell asleep coming home one night. Well, saved my life that night. Nothing saved my... Well, Atrice, when he's talking about the accident with the car, I was going back to my parents and I ended up, I was nothing crazy. I was just beat-ass tired. I ended up hitting the only fucking tree on that side of the road doing like 50. Herbie: Your tears saved your life. Paul: So I hit the tree. I hit the car. Or I hit the tree. And when the police got there, they're like, well, you're lucky you hit the tree, because if you went through the fence, I'd have wrote you a the car was all fucked up. It was. Shamus: Thank you. I totally forgot about that car in the escort. I forgot about that. Herbie: But you know that one deer is like, I'm going to die, but I hope my my death. Yeah. Paul: I'm you, was like, it was insane because we were, I was out like a light and Shamus: And was another thing we always did too. If it wasn't the elbow room in the summertime, we're like, let's go to the Jagdorop until four. And we would drive all the way down to the goddamn shore to get to the chicken and the egg. Drinking all the way down too. ⁓ Herbie: Are you serious? Yeah. God bless your hearts and Paul: All the way down to the end. was just drinking all the way down. I remember one of our last short trips. We went down. I don't know if it was cut day. It was Junior Cut and Bailey Bailey came down with us. And I remember he was he was acting like a fucking ass. Right. And he was telling you the shit out of me. So I ended up tapping the brakes and he ended up getting too close. I was fucking cop park right there. Ended up pulling him over. I'm like, man, that was the last that we did that cannonball run. Shamus: See you Junior Cup Day. I was gonna say they pulled over five of us at one time. It was literally we all met at my buddy Mike's house and there had to be 20 to 25 cars and somebody was just like last one like all right there was some kind of bet and everybody was just like let's go last one there fucking you know Paul: I'm to got pulled over. boss. LBI. Shamus: has to buy beer at the next party or something. Yeah, dude. It was like the catabal run. They got three of us. It was me. I had the Mustang. It was me, Mark, why dig and it was the cop is just like there was two of them to stoopers. Everybody pulled the fuck over there. So we all pull over. like they come what lights are registered and we all had FOP cards and shit. They're like, how many of you fucking people don't cop? So like even the passengers were like. Herbie: Hahaha! Shamus: Get the fuck out of here Paul: It was funny as shit because when we were going out 70 to 72 I Ended up I ended up going over and then there was a car coming so I ended up in the fucking shoulder on the other side of the road going that way so this course passing in between us and I came back so when I saw the police yeah, hit the brake so hard and I remember Bruce Bruce was in the back he was in the back of car he comes sailing through the between the seats slam his face on the on the damn stereo and Herbie: Yeah. Paul: like, yo, what are you doing? He goes, I don't have my seatbelt on. Herbie: I'm ⁓ Shamus: It was so out of control. Herbie: Have this guy do your tinting but not have him ride Don't do uber man, we're actually gonna do like adventure uber maybe you start that Paul: Yeah, don't. I'll get you there fast, but you gotta wear your seatbelt. Shamus: As we're on the side of the road talking to these troopers like you remember Chris Mason and his crew There was like the spicoli van goes by Smokes rolled out it. Yeah Are they with you we're like fuck no You can smell the weed like a mile to have Herbie: Really Paul: It was insane. It was insane. You know, it was, I mean, not not saying it wasn't dangerous shit. Yeah, you know, I don't I don't promote any of that stuff. But it was harmless fun. And that's shit kids. But we'll not experience man. Herbie: Yeah. Shamus: ⁓ but it was harmless. Herbie: Thank God it worked out. And actually, that wouldn't be a bad idea episode, like, you know, just like the driving run down the shore and your favorite, you know, top five dive bars. Oh, yeah. And stuff like that. because we we should do something like that. Everyone that went down the shore went there like at midnight anyway. You know what mean? You're not going there at six o'clock now. So it would be like maybe four or five of us like car lengths and stuff. We would go to Wawa and get hoagies in the Snapple Bowsers and we would. Shamus: Yeah. Paul: Love them sample bottles, don't you? Herbie: do more like my one buddy because he just got Shamus: back in the day, couldn't break them. Remember they used to say if they're full, if you threw them in the air, you couldn't break them. Herbie: He just came out of the army so where he was stationed he didn't have the hoagies, didn't have snapples so it was just like... We were just driving behind other people and just like yeah, loft the hoagies and the snapple bottles at our buddies cars. just like, just loft till they open up the windows and just loft stuff and we had one that was like, this was like when they had the two-foot hoagies. So we had this one that like, I think it fell. We got the two foot hoagie and it fell outside and was all like mangled. So we brought it with us anyway and we're driving and we just decided to just like heave it over us while we're driving. And smacked onto the windshield of our, I think our buddy Eric's car. And it was just like, it stuck. Just ended up like, even with the windshield wipers, it was just like, just like two foot hoagies. Shamus: I did that with a chocolate milk. hit. Mike was driving and I was just like, check this out. Like it was just he had a chocolate milk from school. It was like fucking chunky. It was just nasty. So I was like, we're going somewhere.

There's goddamn Creek Angels and we're going to get to that. Don't worry. We're just going to let that marinate like skunk cabbage.
