- 1:25doing is always like car and photo related which is kind of
- 1:29sick. I just like feel like I've known
- 1:31you for a while where you had the Civic that's when I first
- 1:35met you the yellow 7? Yeah.
- 1:38What year was for those of you don't know, Sebastian had this
- 1:40yellow EK. I don't know how to been like
- 1:43eight, nine years ago. It was it was it was a few years
- 1:47ago. Yes.
- 1:48I was wondering when I met you because he was talking about the
- 1:50Civic and I was like, I don't think I met you.
- 1:52When you had that Civic or maybe I did but you didn't see the
- 1:55car. Yeah, I think I knew you during
- 1:58that era because that's when I first Ready.
- 2:00Going to Club loose. Okay, so I just never saw the
- 2:02car. Yeah.
- 2:04Up there goes a 50 count. Gonna drop that.
- 2:10Yeah. What I wonder when I was maybe
- 2:12like 2012, I want to say maybe 2014.
- 2:16Probably is when I met you. Yeah, I want to say 2014.
- 2:18Exactly. Was on like, was it cosas or
- 2:21buddy clubs? I don't know.
- 2:22Regardless of them they were like that six spoke.
- 2:25There were 16, 16 is on Honda. It's all everybody was B 15 but
- 2:2916. This fill out the well, it just
- 2:31looked great. Yeah.
- 2:32I don't know much about Honda's, but I seen photos in it.
- 2:34It's definitely proper. It was like, very early to like
- 2:38when I feel like that was one instagram.
- 2:40Car culture was like its first flourishing, right?
- 2:44Like everyone is very very early.
- 2:46Yeah, really I do. Yeah, but you were you doing
- 2:50photography back then as well? No, not yet back then.
- 2:55I, I watched cars at a 4D lordship.
- 3:00Damn, are you started in the Auto industry?
- 3:03Kinda na that? Mean I wouldn't consider that
- 3:05the Auto industry. I thought that you always had a
- 3:10thing for photos. So that's actually.
- 3:11I mean, I did, I did have a thing for it, but I wasn't doing
- 3:15that remotely as work, it was purely hobby.
- 3:19Okay? Okay.
- 3:20And then like, obviously time passes and stuff and then I feel
- 3:25like when, when was that, that you work there?
- 3:28Like what you're about? I'm a year guy, man.
- 3:31I like you do like your I do, right?
- 3:33I'm really like everything is mashed potatoes in my brain.
- 3:35Okay. I don't have like the file
- 3:37cabinets just have no, yeah, that's on them or anything.
- 3:40That's me. I like I put everything in here.
- 3:42Like, I know. I know where everything is.
- 3:44And yeah, ready. Wash.
- 3:45Watch this Frankie. What year did Crank That Soulja
- 3:47Boy come out? That was 09.
- 3:50And it wasn't 09. It wasn't.
- 3:54No, I don't think so. It has to be somewhere between.
- 3:57It wasn't close. I think it's two thousand.
- 3:59Eight thousand. Wait, don't do it yet.
- 4:01Don't look it up. Not look it up.
- 4:03Okay, well, I got this. I got this.
- 4:05I was 100% in high school. So as I, it's 07 08 Would you go
- 4:12with? I know it's between 07 and 09.
- 4:15Going 07. Wait.
- 4:19Yeah, 07. I'm going on seven.
- 4:22All right, I have a feeling. It's 2008 tail in 2007.
- 4:26Oh, I can weird man, you could do another one.
- 4:34No. No.
- 4:39But I always wondered, was there a point in your career, where
- 4:42you were like, taking these photos and stuff?
- 4:44And because you've done a lot of things, Like in your photography
- 4:50career, like I see you did commercials, like you've done
- 4:54ads like that before and now whenever I watch a commercial I
- 4:57don't think I don't think about it.
- 4:59As I'm like, yo, I wonder if one of my.
- 5:01Yeah, right. I did the same thing with like
- 5:03my cozy little and you I'm like I wonder if they're involved in
- 5:06this craziest thing. So like was there a turning
- 5:09point for you? Would you say?
- 5:12Yeah I mean there's definitely a turning point.
- 5:14There's a definitely a point where it went from a hobby.
- 5:18Me too. What I did for work, I do a lot
- 5:22of things. Just kind of fell in place at
- 5:25the same time and meeting the right people and and it's like a
- 5:33combination of meeting the right people and I guess with my skill
- 5:35set being at a level suitable for them to need me that
- 5:41combination. Kind of like just got me
- 5:43working. Yeah, I feel like you and Mike
- 5:46Ozil were friends. The early on, right?
- 5:49Yeah. Like right before I guess like
- 5:53the whole careers kind of became a thing.
- 5:54Okay. Yeah because I mean sorry to cut
- 5:57you off there but like any time I mean I got to say this anytime
- 6:01me and said and Mike are together we think I like three
- 6:05video ideas just like that by accident like in a matter of
- 6:10like 20 minutes. So I can't imagine what you guys
- 6:14like all your minds together like you and your friends.
- 6:16You guys probably think of the craziest shit to do.
- 6:18Do like I don't fucking we have like too many things in the
- 6:21works. We have like drive like Google
- 6:24Drive folders of just stuff that we want to do.
- 6:27Yeah it is just it's a lot we always come up with stuff.
- 6:30That's cool though that's that's like a an Ode to your work ethic
- 6:33too though. Because like nothing like I feel
- 6:36like you know when you boil down to it like nobody's really
- 6:39making you do that except for yourself.
- 6:41Yeah. Like that's so that hats off to
- 6:43you. That's why I like anytime I can
- 6:46give you my like, you know, like Claus or something.
- 6:49I will just because I might, yeah, I don't have that same.
- 6:52I wish I was like that, but it's important to surround yourself
- 6:55with people like Sebastian. I tried it.
- 6:57I try to tell everyone that like not specifically you but like
- 7:01people who have a lot of motivation and have a great work
- 7:05ethic and actually get shit done.
- 7:07Those are the people. You got to surround yourself
- 7:09with that was the biggest Game Changer in my life.
- 7:11I think. And now critically.
- 7:12I like thinking about like the be the turning point was when I
- 7:15changed the people around me and like When my everyday people I
- 7:19interacted with were Mike and Antonia Halcyon.
- 7:24I forgot to be Anthony. And like, that was my circle,
- 7:27once that became my circle. It was like, I don't know how I
- 7:32was living completely changed because I was just solely
- 7:35communicating with people that were thinking of things and then
- 7:38executing on them every single day not to mention your all
- 7:41somewhat in the same industry. Yeah.
- 7:43And just, you know, feed off each other work and like
- 7:46different things like that and that common interest of Is to
- 7:48write exactly. You have a focal point that
- 7:50everybody like, that's, that's something that you can't take
- 7:53away from anybody like if they're into cars or whatever.
- 7:56Yeah, like that's something that you're that.
- 7:57You called cook, you could call your own and like, I guess I
- 8:01have like some notes here when I say no.
- 8:02It's like look at this. It's more than usually has.
- 8:07But that was, like, thought process.
- 8:09I was like, what's like? Yeah, making you do this.
- 8:12But, dude, I don't know that from my perspective, like that
- 8:16whole group, that he just named. That's like that.
- 8:19Like I'm very happy that I even know them like at all because
- 8:23that great. Yeah, change my life.
- 8:25Yeah, like very productive, very motivated like they get shit
- 8:29done and they're interested in one helping people and working
- 8:33with people like you guys have always you guys have always
- 8:36helped faction out. Like I will always remember that
- 8:39you Anthony and Mike always like that means a lot to me.
- 8:42So having a group of friends like that, close by is like
- 8:47life-changing for me. I've actually never met Anthony
- 8:50has really, no, but every time I feel like he's hanging out with,
- 8:54like, Chris, or whatever, I'm somewhere else, but one day I
- 8:57would like to, well, he's dropped some parts by the shop
- 8:59to have us, like, press bearings in and out of his, and then he's
- 9:03building a neon. I think it's a neon, but it's an
- 9:05SRT, it's not not an SRT for, but if you got an SRT swap.
- 9:10Yeah, that's cool. So, it's Sebring, or it's a
- 9:13neon. It's in the eyes.
- 9:14Got the fever and Grill. Okay.
- 9:16Yeah, I was about to say a Sebring.
- 9:18That's that was like Michael Scott's car in the office.
- 9:20That's that's not bad. Actually, he Anthony used to
- 9:25Delia Sebring convertible, that's, what's up.
- 9:29Yeah, I have a lot of fond memories in this.
- 9:31Have a lot of questions, maybe in the future, maybe we can have
- 9:33them on here, but but Mike, I actually met in.
- 9:36Do you know, do you guys know where cars has and Ramsey?
- 9:38Hell, yeah. Jersey guys, cars is a
- 9:42late-night Sandwich Spot. It used to be just a sandwich
- 9:45disgusting, but it's got a really good.
- 9:50I thought I had I think I had an integral at the time and Mike
- 9:52was out there with a Miata. Wow.
- 9:56Those were the cars days like when me and Mike would go there
- 9:59and like I never like I wasn't into cars like that back then.
- 10:03So like this thing looked sick, it was so clean and then that's
- 10:06it. Did from time to time, I'd see
- 10:08him. And I think I worked on that
- 10:09car. Like I think I'm one of the
- 10:11reasons why that car was so low but I was like, you sure you
- 10:13want it. He's like, I'm one it as low as
- 10:14it can go. I was like but you can't drive.
- 10:17He's like I'll drive it. I'm like okay.
- 10:20And I just I don't know how it got in the driveway.
- 10:22My from my old house. I have no idea but he would just
- 10:25drive that thing around scraping everywhere.
- 10:27And then so now that we're talking about cars because You
- 10:31know what Sebastian drives? Yeah, your favorite car at this.
- 10:36At this moment you have what tella, tell the listeners, what
- 10:40you drive, currently that you drove here actually know a 2002
- 10:45Lexus, IS350 one so far. I feel like we've had on here is
- 10:51that this, you know, this whole shop is kind of geared to us
- 10:54chassis people. So like, you know, this is, as
- 10:58you hear the train in the background, that transferred
- 11:00million, All of our YouTube videos but you have an is and I
- 11:04rarely get to talk to anybody who has another is.
- 11:08So this is just gonna be an is chat.
- 11:10Yep. Yeah.
- 11:10Yep. If you have an ass chassis right
- 11:13now, you probably want to turn off the pocket.
- 11:16It is Fe we won't. We don't go too far into it.
- 11:18I do just have like some questions because you didn't
- 11:21just have one, right? Like, I think I can one you had
- 11:25a. When was it silver?
- 11:27Because like that was when I first was like, I had a silver
- 11:30one. I know Frank is here, guys.
- 11:32I'm trying to think in 2016 15 16.
- 11:36He knows better than I do. Like sex kit on it, I think.
- 11:40Yeah, that was vertex type to. I'm on the silver man.
- 11:43Was that, that was your old car or not?
- 11:44Yeah, my old car. It was.
- 11:46Yeah. And then and then you've wrapped
- 11:48it. Did you wrap it or something?
- 11:50It was wrapped black for a while and then I got hit and ran on
- 11:55the highway. Oh all right, it must have been
- 11:58pretty bad. It was the trunk was in the back
- 12:00seat. Do you have a photo of thing?
- 12:02Because you sent me a photo right now?
- 12:03Yeah, not to be weird, but I was like salted.
- 12:06I kind of want to see like so I can have stuff to point out.
- 12:09I try to build it up while Malcolm's trying to And send it
- 12:13to me too, when you do it Malcolm.
- 12:15Well, Malcolm is trying to pull that up but yeah, I totally
- 12:17forgot that you got rear-ended in that.
- 12:20Yeah, it was really bad and at that time, I was asking you
- 12:22about swap stuff. Oh yeah.
- 12:25Yeah. I remember because I think you
- 12:26had like, a w series trans or something like that lying
- 12:29around. Hmm.
- 12:30But so you re shall that? Yeah.
- 12:33So like maybe six weeks after that, you found a shell.
- 12:38Was it another manual show? There's another manual show.
- 12:40Yeah, I just didn't want to go through the trouble and there it
- 12:42is. That is bad, dude.
- 12:45Oh, can we hear about this accident, honestly?
- 12:49There's, I mean, did you just get, like, rammed from behind?
- 12:52Yeah. Yeah, literally, I'll just
- 12:55exiting root 3, like, on a into, like, a little shopping plaza,
- 13:00okay? And a car like they was no skid
- 13:03marks of him, hitting the brakes or anything that looks like it
- 13:05was like a Nissan Rogue that just, it's white.
- 13:08Really Rose going rogue. Oh my God.
- 13:11Always an Altima. First of all.
- 13:12Yeah. No, he just smashed into me and
- 13:15then and then like beelined it into the median.
- 13:19The guy like, jumps out of his car, like looks at my car.
- 13:22Looks at his car and just jumps in his car and dips.
- 13:24Wow. That's right.
- 13:26You said it was a hit-and-run. Yeah.
- 13:29But he actually got out of the car.
- 13:30Yeah. And I'm like, I'm like in a daze
- 13:32in the driver's seat and I'm like, what the fuck just
- 13:35happened, cops looks at you and leaves the yeah, probably make
- 13:41sure that you are alive and was like you know what, he didn't.
- 13:43Sure of shit. No, I definitely did.
- 13:45Yeah, he, I think he thought it was worse than so, he was like,
- 13:47oh, he's alive. So I mean that's that's kind of
- 13:50bad. That's it.
- 13:51Like you gave us right into your rump like directly.
- 13:57He didn't even really shot. Try to turn.
- 13:59No, no. Like, it was like, it was like,
- 14:01I wasn't even there type thing like you didn't hear brakes
- 14:05squeal. You didn't hear like they're
- 14:07just like move. Yeah, he was just like on a
- 14:09positive note to slam those. Ssris are okay and your head.
- 14:13They're fine. Yeah, so where was that?
- 14:15Black that back last to? Those are my inbox.
- 14:17Not me nervous. Oh really?
- 14:19Yeah. It's like from the SSR guard
- 14:20Meyer line, I don't know why, but I feel like I just saw those
- 14:24on Facebook, Marketplace, recent, those, those exact ones,
- 14:27floated around, so much. Northern New York.
- 14:29Northern New Jersey /, like New York state area, like Hudson
- 14:33Valley, I would not, I will look out for them, maybe they'll be
- 14:36on my is, but all right. Okay.
- 14:38So you really yeah, it got so many ways.
- 14:43Pretty much everything was usable.
- 14:46So, like, everything went full swap.
- 14:49Yeah, suspension wise, and all that stuff.
- 14:52Hmm. What, what are you running
- 14:54currently? Now, I was gonna say before we
- 14:55go anywhere. People probably don't even know
- 14:57he drifts. He drifts for the record.
- 15:00I feel like, yeah, I feel like that was just a given, like you
- 15:02because I was gonna say. When, did you start drifting?
- 15:04Oh yeah. Yeah, I started drifting after
- 15:06this chassis. Oh okay.
- 15:07So after this, well, actually, I took that chassis once To Club
- 15:13lose with no knowledge of drifting whatsoever and I'm deaf
- 15:17and stuff. I had LSD but it it was not it
- 15:23was that set up like a stance car.
- 15:24It wasn't set up with a drift car door.
- 15:25Yeah. Because you kind of came from
- 15:27The Stance. Yeah.
- 15:28Yeah. That Honda was just sitting real
- 15:31good, dude. That's what, that's what I
- 15:32remember. Like it was well the Honda was
- 15:34very function, always properly if you're in the car seemed in
- 15:372014-15 and you take photographs Probably going to Stan's meats
- 15:44and stuff. Yeah, it makes sense.
- 15:46It was a lot of stand shows going on.
- 15:48Yeah. Like fitmin was Pittman was like
- 15:50the top. That was like at the peak.
- 15:52Yeah. It was a keyword then.
- 15:54Yeah. It's kind of like worried about
- 15:56that more than the functionality of the car.
- 15:58What are your specs bro? So that car was a testament to
- 16:04that and it really sucked that one time I took it to the track
- 16:09when I got everything on the next chassis.
- 16:11I was like Let's start thinking a little differently that Ellis.
- 16:14I want to tell you like that. Allison is a lower gear than uh,
- 16:19than a normal opened. If actually.
- 16:21So that I wonder how that was probably was not that it wasn't
- 16:24good and the OEM LSD it get like when it gets warm, it acts open.
- 16:31So, yeah. They start like slipping.
- 16:33Yeah. It wasn't remotely consistent.
- 16:36It's just, I wouldn't recommend it.
- 16:38So, I think if you do LSD and is it has to be a two-way.
- 16:41Did you, uh, Great. Dirt digit.
- 16:42I wouldn't call it up. I need some people don't
- 16:44technically downgraded in got again.
- 16:46Well, do well, did ya? Yes.
- 16:48Basically, the more predictable in my opinion.
- 16:50Yeah, you always know it's definitely more predictable.
- 16:52Yeah, I actually remember when we were out, I thought I blew my
- 16:56mine but actually the hat that the axle shaft like popped out,
- 17:01then it was like one wheel does that happen.
- 17:04And then it was just cause my death but this is coral.
- 17:07Yeah, yeah. BRZ this, right?
- 17:09No. I have you ever have a lot of
- 17:11that's welded. You know me so it's a 399.
- 17:14Yeah versus a 37. Yeah but no yeah it's my diff
- 17:19bushings were so warned that if the difference probably just
- 17:22popped out just twerking. Yeah but so like for what do you
- 17:26what do you got front suspension wise front suspension well coils
- 17:31Wise. It's on custom BC's 20K front.
- 17:3716k arrears then angle Wise. It's has the These bolts on
- 17:43Knuckles, easy knuckle. It's like their version 2.5.
- 17:47Their own version for right now which apparently turns the is
- 17:50until I can ask Jaz. Everybody says that that's
- 17:53everyone that I know that that's running it lets like agrees
- 17:57everyone says that this is just like that little knuckle thing
- 18:00that like that plates onto. Yeah.
- 18:02The one that I have. Yeah.
- 18:03But most Toyota's are the same with that setup.
- 18:06I think Miyagi is running something similar.
- 18:07Yeah. His is from excessive like
- 18:09Korea. Yeah.
- 18:10It does it correct. The Roll center to it?
- 18:11Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 18:12It fixes the tie rod pickup Point, moves it up closer to the
- 18:15like level with the ball joint. I wonder how it feels like an
- 18:19extra. See that I wonder why the one I
- 18:21have. But yeah, the the yeah their
- 18:23newest one allegedly. I wonder what makes the do that
- 18:26though? I don't know, but it is a
- 18:27totally different design. Hmm.
- 18:29You gotta get it Carl. I'm gonna look into that.
- 18:31That imagine that's the only thing.
- 18:35That's the only thing you don't like about your car.
- 18:36The only thing that yeah I can't get that like like
- 18:39International. Have you ever drifted anything
- 18:41else aside from Is. Yeah.
- 18:44What else did you drift? I've drifted a nice chassis
- 18:46before. Okay, so now that you, you get
- 18:49that like, weird, like whipping you can like, really it
- 18:52encourages you to like drive it aggressively?
- 18:54Yeah and is I tried to do that. I don't know if it's the same
- 18:57for you but you're getting you can just it drifts really well
- 19:01smoothly like it just it's a cheater card.
- 19:05Yeah. It drives you try to overdrive
- 19:06it then it's just not going to cooperate.
- 19:09It doesn't want to. Yeah.
- 19:10So that yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 19:13I don't know if it's because of the weight.
- 19:14The wheelbase isn't super duper long in the crest of though is
- 19:17the same I thought, but it's way longer.
- 19:19Is it wait longer? It might not be wailing.
- 19:21I think it's about the same. Yeah, it to me, I got in and I
- 19:24drove in I was like, oh, no. Everyone's talking shit about,
- 19:27you know, did kind of Drive the shit out of that thing actually
- 19:29in those videos, I don't think if I don't think it felt like an
- 19:32S chassis though, but it did drift fine.
- 19:34Like we have knuckles on that car too.
- 19:38Dude, I couldn't really spin out in that thing.
- 19:39Yeah, you have the excessive Knuckles on that.
- 19:41Yeah, I think the good thing about the obsessing.
- 19:44Yeah, the excessive ones are also steal.
- 19:47I think what we bent it so I know one of them spent.
- 19:53Oh, okay. Now I'm gonna go home and
- 19:56double. Check my, we left it in because
- 19:58I was like, it's not broken. So just leaving it all righty.
- 20:01I'm like you, but ok. But like so you enjoy the is, I
- 20:06know you're drifting out there with like, with David Bob.
- 20:10Hmm. I don't know who else that is
- 20:15Diego. Yeah, drifting I know he has
- 20:18that Wicked build that he just stomped on over.

- 20:52Stone over my shoulder, frankly with parents didn't do shit
- 20:56about. I don't see.
- 20:56This is why I think I need to buy like are pods because if I
- 20:59ever run into a situation like that, I will cut my ears off.
- 21:02So what is the are pods have to do with any of that?
- 21:04I just want me. Natalie noise-cancelling?
- 21:05Well they do have the. So how long is that flight
- 21:08though? Well I had a late.
- 21:11Over in Chicago. So thankfully like that's why I
- 21:14took you all day. Yeah, it was a short layover,
- 21:16but it and thankfully, the toddler was only on Chicago to
- 21:21here. Yeah.
- 21:22Because I was like an hour and a half of just Agony, okay.
- 21:26That was a side note. I just wanted to know, um, you

- 21:57Darrell if you're listening to this lookout for said, maybe,
- 22:00throw some tandems or something. I don't know.

- 22:24Like first time, he hits tree turn like harder than I've ever
- 22:28done it, private green Evergreens.
- 22:29And I was like, this is your first day at English.
- 22:31He goes to Evergreen so much that like and he's always in
- 22:34tandem that it doesn't. It's like second nature to him.
- 22:37He just he sees On a video. I remember I know if your moves
- 22:42he was at. He was was like, you know what,
- 22:44I saw an option video where the guy like when like, ah, I'm like

- 23:02He's the plug for that. Yeah, I don't film shit when I'm
- 23:05driving. I would never do.
- 23:06Yeah. And I regret it.
- 23:08I feel like you probably shouldn't say.
- 23:09Yeah. Mmm, I don't know.
- 23:10I feel like I kind of fucked up when there's a when there's a
- 23:12camera, right? Just never gave a shit.
- 23:14I'm like what like who cares? What I can I can go have fun out
- 23:17there. I feel like recently, I'm like
- 23:19more leaning towards if we're having fun.
- 23:22Sometimes I won't even I'm like not paying attention enough to
- 23:25like, well if you're like trying to learn and like, do new
- 23:28things. Yeah, I want to look back on it
- 23:31then. Yeah.
- 23:31I get it if you're like being critical on yourself.
- 23:34Yeah. Which I never had ration.
- 23:35Yeah. Yeah.
- 23:37Then then that makes sense. Yeah.
- 23:38So and I have a feeling we had like the same spot where we were
- 23:42no locations podcast? Oh yeah we just well we don't
- 23:47mention the location like because everyone had to practice
- 23:49and I think you're from my area. We're not I'm not from that
- 23:53area. All right.
- 23:53Well, I live like four years and up in Mahwah.
- 23:56Yeah. And I'm from Ramsey, yes.
- 23:58I think we have a same spot. Okay.
- 24:00Like I've been up there and when I saw you guys, they're in a
- 24:03video, I think it was. You David Bob and it might have
- 24:05it Tom Yeah, there was a night when Tom came out.
- 24:09Yeah, actually, it's, that's, that was a different spot that
- 24:12was down by like where I, I know which videos I'm gonna be the
- 24:16video that I'm talking about. It was in North Jersey because I
- 24:19saw it and I was like, but I always just questioned it.
- 24:28I don't know. You're always on your phone
- 24:30number. I'll call you every day.
- 24:31Don't worry. But no.
- 24:34So you have the is now and then. So You're going, you had that
- 24:38private a tomorrow? Yeah.
- 24:40Ready Set drift on Saturday and mainly, I just came because,
- 24:42like, I've missed fall in the east coast so much less people.
- 24:47They're telling me. They're like, you, I miss
- 24:48Seasons. I was like, seeing so many
- 24:50people, like posting the leaves changing and just like, it's all
- 24:55fun on the west three degree weather.
- 24:57It feels like you're stuck in a Time Warp.
- 24:58And just like I was gonna kill the ground.
- 25:00Yeah. It's like all the time.
- 25:02Just yeah. They did the other day we have
- 25:04liked clouds and a little bit of rain and is like everybody's
- 25:07Everybody's in North Face, like it's all Canada.
- 25:10Goose, 63 is 63 degrees out. The rains coming like rain
- 25:17California. That's but like, what the hell
- 25:21is it about? Canada Goose.
- 25:22So is something on fire every day in Los Angeles in downtown
- 25:25like an Arts District? Where Sarah is Fire downtown.
- 25:38Yeah. How is how is the condition of
- 25:40Los Angeles right now? I want to know from someone
- 25:42who's actually there. It's kind of just like if your
- 25:45existing and in a Grand Theft Auto map okay so it's pretty
- 25:48bad. Yeah I mean it looks like it's
- 25:52very perspective base you can just like choose to like observe
- 25:56it all and kind of like, you know, giggle at it.
- 25:59Yeah. As long as it's not affecting
- 26:00you or you can like choose, yeah, I think it caught up in it
- 26:04and just feel like what the hell's going on over here?
- 26:06I have Choose to just be like, observing and kind of just enjoy
- 26:10it for what it is. Yeah, from the outside, looking
- 26:12in, we're just waiting for that place to like, that's going to
- 26:14be the start of the end of the world.
- 26:18Yeah, that's what you'll know when the end is coming.
- 26:21When something like big happens, there for sure.
- 26:25I have a question about that and I don't, you, don't you keep
- 26:28your car here? So I don't know if this is going
- 26:30to be applied to you but maybe, you know, how is it that they
- 26:34have like the craziest car laws over there and restrictions and
- 26:37then like, You know, people still are able to go out and
- 26:41drift have a drift cars out on the street.
- 26:43I don't, I then like some people are like, oh, my car got
- 26:46impounded. Oh yeah, that actually is a good
- 26:48question. Fly like how does that a lot of
- 26:50people? Like even even my Hilux that I
- 26:53have out there? I guess it's still registered.
- 26:57Malcolm's interested. Now what?
- 26:59What is it? Nice does.
- 27:06Like, I forgot that you had that thing.
- 27:07Yeah, yeah that's what ideally out there.
- 27:09I'm on a Toyota binge right now. They're both Toyota nerd, rip
- 27:13his or just a random. I think you might have it.
- 27:16Well, it was let me see her, but it's not just a, it's a Hilux.
- 27:22Surf, surf? Yeah, it's a Hilux Surf and I
- 27:25don't know what a power plant is that but that's like the same V6
- 27:29like the 3.0 that came in the u.s. model.
- 27:32So you know I think there's a there's an inherent issue.
- 27:35I think it's like a might be the head gasket goes on that you
- 27:39know. Although that one Achilles heel
- 27:40the Achilles heel is the lifters it is.
- 27:44Always have noisy lifters. It looks great.
- 27:46It sounds like a diesel truck. Oh, it's just like not it's a,
- 27:50it's a beautiful cards green. Yeah, I think.
- 27:53Yeah. How's that thing Tree in you
- 27:55great use everyday. Gas is kind of expensive over
- 27:58there Sebastian and I know what is it that over there?
- 28:03Last time I filled up is like 650 yeah, it's pretty tragic but
- 28:12it did get really really bad at one point and I bet like 8 bucks
- 28:17No. Oh, it will cost.
- 28:18You nine dollars to go to the store?
- 28:21That's crazy. Like your average.
- 28:25Yeah, because store trip, but those V6 is they get like, not
- 28:28that. Not that great gasps economy.
- 28:30No, I mean, with the, with the tires and wheels, I have on
- 28:33there, I get right under 13. It's pretty bad in that sense,
- 28:41but right there. Yeah, that's nice.
- 28:44But I picked it up at Japanese Classics.
- 28:49It's a not car. Yeah.
- 28:50How could you not love a nice old Toyota and he came like
- 28:54that, right? Those wheels are looking at your
- 28:57Chevy wheel. Yeah, they do look kind of
- 28:59reminiscent of what I had on my suit.
- 29:01I researched them there. So Bridgestone used to make
- 29:04off-road wheels, their birthstone Berg's Berg's, the
- 29:08dinklebergs look, Okay. Look at the mirror on the
- 29:11fender. Yeah, those are.
- 29:13Those are sick. Yeah.
- 29:14For parallel parking. Yeah.
- 29:16Excellent. It's such a neat car.
- 29:19Yeah. Like, it's, I don't know a lot
- 29:21about it and that's why I like it.
- 29:23I'm like, you gotta drive that thing on the beach man behind,
- 29:26but I don't allow that in California.
- 29:28Unless it's a Tesla, Tesla has only, but also you're going back
- 29:32to your question. A lot of people find loopholes,
- 29:35whether it's out-of-state registrations, or Having the
- 29:39smog guy or yeah, or a lot of people just don't Street Drive
- 29:45their cars, insert there, like the laws are or around all
- 29:49California, but different cities, actually, enforced
- 29:53different things. Oh, so like LA county has all of
- 29:56Grand Theft Auto to worry about like, you know, they're not,
- 30:00they're not really stressing about and that's 13 pipe.
- 30:04Yeah. But then you like go only half
- 30:07an hour out until like some Suburban.
- 30:09Down. And like, there's people that
- 30:11are just like, no, I haven't even taken my 240 out in like 4
- 30:14years because I don't want to risk.
- 30:16Like do they measure like the height from the headlights that
- 30:19they just depends on its officer per off?
- 30:21Yeah, basis, like I saw a video recently of this, the new
- 30:25Hyundai that like from Factory has a like a crackle tune and
- 30:31like a police officer like revoke, this guy's registration
- 30:36and like, I think I heard that this one said that he Had like,
- 30:39take it back to the dealer and get that removed even though
- 30:42it's all we em, you can't remove it.
- 30:44Yeah. And he's like, well, if you're
- 30:46gonna have to get an aftermarket tune, so you can.
- 30:48Yeah. Wow.
- 30:49Yeah. So it's very relative to the
- 30:52officer and how much they were bullied in high school and are
- 30:56pretty much that's kind of wild. I never thought about it and
- 31:00like an area by area bases, its wide.
- 31:02Yeah. It's just it's local law
- 31:04enforcement so it's great. All the laws are saying but it's
- 31:07just depends on the enforcer. Okay.
- 31:08Well, here's where. Blows my mind.
- 31:10The the center of the Auto industry in the United States of
- 31:12America is pretty much Los Angeles, like aftermarket
- 31:16industry, car culture over there.
- 31:18Something else man. And it's weird because it's like
- 31:20I would never go there. I wanted to move them.
- 31:23Do you remember Malcolm? Yeah, you almost tried to.
- 31:26But I mean, as far as like, bringing like, as a car
- 31:28Enthusiast, like if you were just looking to like, where am I
- 31:31going to? I'm a car Enthusiast.
- 31:33Like where do I want to move? Well, I don't want to go there
- 31:36because I might not be able to drive my car around.
- 31:38Well, no, I would is that the reason why I'm asking is because
- 31:41there's so many nice places I could be driving my car around
- 31:43know, there's that. Yeah, that's the nicest.
- 31:46I always say, is the most beautiful state in the country
- 31:49between that and I would say that one probably is because it
- 31:52has like everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 31:54You can be like on the beach and snowboarding in the same day.
- 31:57Yeah, that's wild. Yeah, kind of cool.
- 32:01But the government just ruins everything, you know, as they
- 32:04always do, nice of you who is just down the Pacific Coast
- 32:07Highway, Frankie your win. Blowing through the air, by our
- 32:11your, with your, with your hair flowing, through the air.
- 32:13Nice try Carl, you distract him, you to beautiful, but thanks.
- 32:18No. But yeah, I always wondered
- 32:19because I did, I did momentarily want to move out there and how I
- 32:23weary it's good. I won't how I would go about
- 32:26meeting. People is like I would just keep
- 32:27doing the stuff that I like doing, which would probably be
- 32:29trying to drift, not go to a Drifter and hopefully meet
- 32:32people that way or something. I would, if I was gonna move to
- 32:35the West Coast and I was just in the cars, I was just go to like,
- 32:39Anywhere outside of it like maybe Arizona not yeah culture
- 32:44is huge and like Phoenix and whatnot.
- 32:46Yeah everybody just drag races on the highway.
- 32:50Yes. So much when I go there I don't
- 32:51see like any I don't see the culture but I guess I'm just
- 32:55missing it. I know there's like There's
- 32:59other like there's I don't know different types of car culture
- 33:03out there but like as far as drifting I never see anything
- 33:05but I know we have some custom. What are you just going to run
- 33:07into somebody? I'm honking.
- 33:09I mean dude around here lately you'd see honestly yeah I was
- 33:14writing is different I don't think anywhere in the country.
- 33:17Really. Yeah.
- 33:18Compares to Northern New Jersey as weird as that sounds because
- 33:21it's densely populated. There's a lot of density here is
- 33:24raised and you've been to a lot of places so like hearing that
- 33:27from you, Yeah, I think like Southern Florida is a little
- 33:30comparable because you just see a lot of every type of car
- 33:35culture, I think? Yeah, now that you think now
- 33:37that you say that every time I'm in Florida, that's the only
- 33:40place where I'll see something else.
- 33:41Cool, like when I when I was in New Orleans, I didn't see
- 33:44anything when I was in California, didn't see anything.
- 33:47And then when I was in Florida, here's like 3s chassis like
- 33:51whoa, because he will like drive to show you around to there's
- 33:54that too. That's and those laws are like
- 33:56the opposite of Cal. Yeah.
- 33:57That's a and And as long as it has blinkers and like a brake
- 34:01light. Yeah.
- 34:02Yeah, yeah. Alright, you're good dude.
- 34:03I mean some of those S chassis they might not be even there any
- 34:06but as far as like your career and everything you're doing,
- 34:08you're definitely in the right spot.
- 34:10Well yeah I honestly I wouldn't have chosen to live in Los
- 34:14Angeles if I didn't mainly work in the film industry.
- 34:17Like, that's the that's like that's, that's again, copy has
- 34:20this thing. Like, yeah, that you get to do
- 34:22the things that you do so and you made a business out of it as
- 34:25well. That's crazy.
- 34:27Before we get into Your business.
- 34:29I want to, I want to know exactly what you do, like in the
- 34:31film industry. Like and the, the jobs you get
- 34:34because I don't think I fully understand because I know you
- 34:36take photographs, but I think you need more than that to
- 34:38sometimes, right? Yeah, I mean, well, my career as
- 34:40a photographer is kind of fizzled out in the last two
- 34:42years. Like I only kept a couple
- 34:44clients from my photo World, okay.
- 34:47And for the past like two years, I've essentially been a vehicle
- 34:52Wrangler which is the individual in charge of like, Vehicle
- 34:58logistics for Film Production. Is that the proper term?
- 35:02Because, that's amazing. Yeah.
- 35:03Kind of cool. Oh, that's sick.
- 35:07Wrangle. Yeah.
- 35:11Get the Wrangler. I need a Mustang literally,
- 35:17like, fucking cool. Is that?
- 35:19Because I have noticed like, so that brings us to our next
- 35:23subject. Yeah.
- 35:24Is that you guys saw an opportunity to make something of
- 35:27that? And yeah, you started.
- 35:29What is called era? Yes are they are bad.
- 35:32Shit is so cool man. Yeah because I remember you were
- 35:34doing that like for the last few years and you were getting my
- 35:37car. You were finding cars from music
- 35:38videos and you were even finding cars in the drift.
- 35:40Seen to user music videos and stuff like that.
- 35:43I fucking love that. Yeah, that's pretty sick.
- 35:45Then somebody I melt like, um, what's his team gleams cars?
- 35:50Yeah. Yeah.
- 35:50It was like, what, what? What music videos Travis Scott.
- 35:55Yeah, that's pretty sick. So cool.
- 35:58Dude. Like that was one of those
- 36:01moments where you're like, really stoked for your friends.
- 36:04Yeah, yeah. I was seeing that and I would,
- 36:07my co-workers would be like, yo, did you see the driver Scott
- 36:09video? I'd be like, did you see that
- 36:11are 32? And my boy was in charge at
- 36:13that? Yeah, like that's good.
- 36:16That's awesome. So you were able to make a
- 36:18actual business out of this. Yeah, yeah.
- 36:20Yeah. That's what we do day in and day
- 36:22out. So now we have office and
- 36:24vehicle storage facility in downtown.
- 36:28That we've been working on since August.
- 36:30Okay. Do you also rent it out for like
- 36:32use, like for like photo shoots for people to use it like as an
- 36:35event space. That's Mike's Studio which is
- 36:38like five minutes down the road from mine.
- 36:40That's his space. Is that it's that's the brick
- 36:43one. Yeah.
- 36:45That was an event space and that's a weird but that building
- 36:47is beautiful. It's a building is crosses.
- 36:50Yeah. It's one of those really old
- 36:52school buildings that you don't really see in that kind of
- 36:54condition anymore. Yeah I could totally see how it
- 36:56will be a Los Angeles has a Lot of stuff like that.
- 36:58Yeah. Like down in artist District
- 37:00where our warehouses are, it's kind of like there's so many
- 37:05different type of Open Spaces. I hear about that.
- 37:09That spot a lot. That is it called the Art
- 37:12District? Yeah.
- 37:12Yeah, I heard about that that has, they have a lot of like
- 37:15that's where they film, a lot of music videos and stuff like in
- 37:17buildings like that. Yeah, yeah, just ton.
- 37:19There's tons of film studios. Like, even where my location is
- 37:24like, I'm pretty close to like three film studios that, I'm
- 37:28Regular. Is that?
- 37:29Where Magnuson Vehicles Magnus Walker, is to Isaiah.
- 37:31I'm like, every now and again, grabbing coffee.
- 37:33Let's say Street. Yeah, his place in their ribbon
- 37:36wild right out. This place is sick.
- 37:39He drives a 993 lat, that's awesome.
- 37:42Yeah, I met that guy at Bear Mountain.
- 37:44Oh, really? Yeah, he had a Porsche Porsche
- 37:46meat? Yeah, I remember hearing about
- 37:48it. Oh really?
- 37:49Yeah, my dad was a child and this was like, maybe three, four
- 37:52years ago. Three years ago.
- 37:54Yeah, he seems like a really. Cool.
- 37:58Dude, I've never actually met him.
- 38:00I see him around all the time, but it's just like such a like,
- 38:04I don't know you and especially in.
- 38:06L.a. you never want to be like that person.
- 38:08Yeah. Like hey like Hey we're trying
- 38:10to just trying to live. Yeah.
- 38:12Like this is like just where they choose to live so it's just
- 38:15like I've never heard anything bad so far about that guy.
- 38:18Every single person I know that has met him.
- 38:20I've been like yeah he just he just wants to talk and yeah, I'm
- 38:23like chill after every photo he took you would do to portion.
- 38:27Roman Porsche surprised he wasn't like putting spells on
- 38:33yeah, Special or funny-ass shit but he's one of the only YouTube
- 38:37like if I see a video of him on YouTube I'm like I'm watching a
- 38:40whole thing, no matter what. I have no idea why he just
- 38:42explain shit in like such a cool way.
- 38:45Yeah. Like he could not even explain
- 38:47it to me. He's and you could just be
- 38:49talking and I'm like he's got a presence.
- 38:51Yeah, that is good. I hope Porsche took note of that
- 38:54and they have them on the team because I'm definitely.
- 38:57Yeah. Hope so some sort of like
- 38:59cutting a check to him. Yeah that's what I mean for
- 39:0120,000 or Chevy he does put on for poor Chevy.
- 39:04Yeah. All right.
- 39:05So that's the area you're in that school and damn vehicle
- 39:08Wrangler in it's like that is kind of fat.
- 39:10Like you ain't gonna be a real Wrangler next best.
- 39:14Chief Wranglers yo, just have a coat with that.
- 39:18Empty Franklin. Yeah, that should be run your
- 39:20business card. I should show up like a cowboy.
- 39:23Yeah, so Clara Chief Wrangler only kind of saw because
- 39:27obviously We all see it like the increasing Trend in like the
- 39:31appreciation for Japanese cars. Like older Japanese car.
- 39:35Yeah, probably because they're getting input.
- 39:36It's not even just Japanese cars actually like older BMWs,
- 39:39beautiful cars. Yeah.
- 39:41I mean like you got to remember that the people that are making
- 39:45things right now, grew up in the same time as we did.
- 39:50So what kind of has like a natural nostalgic, special
- 39:54factor to us, is what's going to be special?
- 39:57To the people that are directing or making all these decisions on
- 40:01what things are going to look like.
- 40:02Now, that's true. And that's kind of.
- 40:04Yeah, and then we have never really thought about it like,
- 40:06that. That's probably why it is
- 40:07happening. That's why it's been such a
- 40:09natural progression. And like, I remember Mike, like,
- 40:12talking to a years ago, being like, like, the stuff the cars
- 40:16that were into at some point there's going to be a Crossroads
- 40:20of, like, those being what's like special and what's being
- 40:23filmed a lot because people like us are going to be in the
- 40:27position. Of like making those decisions.
- 40:29Hmm damn. Is this Mike's like Nostradamus
- 40:34you just like he really called it.
- 40:36He's like the merger, especially the merger of like certain
- 40:39pockets of hip-hop and Japanese car culture.
- 40:43It just happened like exactly as he called it on some Nostradamus
- 40:49as a Kanye, the film industry and not a joke.
- 40:54I don't even know what he said. I didn't even look into it.
- 40:59I was like, do you guys have?
- 41:20Like because you guys, when you expand it into two Studios, I
- 41:23was like, damn, like you talked about Mike And his well yes like
- 41:29doing it with like how is it actually yeah mic my business
- 41:32partner okay yeah, alright, that's like so do you what are
- 41:35your future plans? You have any future endeavours
- 41:37to like make it even bigger than what it is.
- 41:39Now for sure, definitely. I mean, the whole point of the
- 41:44location for our picture cars was to have a starting point to
- 41:48scale from. And right now, our biggest thing
- 41:54is kind of like, just finishing this location now.
- 41:57We've Been handling, a lot of pretty big jobs while trying to
- 42:02get this location finished. So it's been really setting us
- 42:05back but helping at the same time because it's like the funds
- 42:08that you need ya to do this. Have to like.
- 42:11Yeah, yet project has to be funded by something.
- 42:13Yeah. So is this is this garage?
- 42:16Like is it a garage kind of in a way like to store cars at that
- 42:19you can use often? Yeah, it's a storage facility
- 42:22and then it's also like people can come and look maybe.
- 42:26Yeah, exactly. Like we Meetings there with
- 42:31whoever's making the decision on vehicles, whether extractors are
- 42:34set designers or producers and it's kind of like a space that
- 42:40like, you can at least have like the meeting.
- 42:42You can, they could see the vehicles that we have there.
- 42:44Even if we don't have something that they're looking for, they
- 42:47can at least be like, oh, but yeah, this car is cut because,
- 42:50like, kind of got the look I want.
- 42:52Yeah, they're not car people. So I don't know how to explain
- 42:53shit. So like at least being like that
- 42:56one, but red. Yeah.
- 42:57It's just like Like way better than having a phone call and
- 42:59it's actually I want that old car.
- 43:01That looks cool. It's a really good idea.
- 43:03Is literally blowing my mind right now because from a
- 43:05business perspective, like I tend to thinking more of like a
- 43:09business, like Type of Way. Well, right away.
- 43:12I was like, why would you have it?
- 43:14Why would you need a garage if not?
- 43:15Oh, yeah. Because for every, every
- 43:17everything that's like your work, he's right there.
- 43:19That's your, that's your product.
- 43:20But yeah. They have to having somewhere
- 43:22where people can come and look at different cars is good.
- 43:26They also kind of creates a demand there.
- 43:27Damn, that's cool as fuck. And now are those all your cars
- 43:31in there? Some of them into some of them
- 43:32are other the collectors that we work with that like, oh, that
- 43:36will rent them out. Yeah.
- 43:38Okay. And then they do storage with us
- 43:40and then within ten of having their cars pitch tone on
- 43:43projects, perfect. And then, the other thing is
- 43:45that we used location like a staging location.
- 43:48If cars come from like out of state or out of town, you can
- 43:51bring them there and keep them there for ya or even just like,
- 43:54you know, wherever vehicles coming from to be able to prep
- 43:57it before. Or shoot and then that be where
- 44:00it gets transported from. That's awesome.
- 44:02That's insane. Dude, how do I open one up here?
- 44:04Yeah, that's the ultimate goal honestly.
- 44:07Yeah, because of the ultimate goal coming back to the east
- 44:10coast, but that would be good to have one of those in both
- 44:13places. Ya know, 100% a high pop.
- 44:15That shit isn't someone? We know I'll run that thing.
- 44:17Where New York dude like yeah, I got this old brick buildings and
- 44:23they're like always like that. They do a lot of filming New
- 44:26York's. I hope you guys.
- 44:28Do do that because that the fact that you managed to make a
- 44:32market there for a profession that you love doing like that's
- 44:37the kind of the dream, you know. Yeah.
- 44:39Like it's pretty neat. It's definitely not something
- 44:42that's never been done before. It's just hasn't been done
- 44:44before by like younger like us. Yeah, everyone in the picture
- 44:49car space is like 50 to 70 old Hollywood guy.
- 44:54Yeah. Yeah, minions business for
- 44:57years. They also like somebody working
- 44:59like the movie world. Like, so.
- 45:01Not really the music industry type is what?
- 45:04Yeah. Well, essentially like the
- 45:06majority of like the picture car services, they work with
- 45:11Productions that are in like the half a million to 30 million
- 45:15dollar budgets and like the budget of projects that were
- 45:20working in. Is in the like 25 to half a
- 45:25million. Okay, so it's just like, it's a
- 45:27totally different world. We're not here, like providing
- 45:31vehicles for the same places that they are and there is no
- 45:35service catered at the Productions that are in this,
- 45:40this budget range. And what kind of Productions are
- 45:43those more, like, music video type things, or some either
- 45:45videos, where I like the first that's bread and butter for
- 45:48sure. Now a lot.
- 45:51Has changed, and we're working a lot on commercials commercials
- 45:55recently and I've got some Netflix shows.
- 45:59No Netflix shows. No, no short films isn't Netflix
- 46:02like basically big Hollywood at this point, like.
- 46:05Yeah, right. Like money-wise or it's pretty
- 46:08much a lot of streaming service while streaming services but
- 46:11Netflix is mainly filming in Atlanta.
- 46:15These days they bought like they have like the most Studios it's
- 46:18another spot where things seem to be boom.
- 46:21Yeah, yeah. So we also, we also do provide
- 46:23Vehicles, like all around the country, and we have vehicle
- 46:27coordinators and different states, Atlanta being one of
- 46:30them, which is it's so busy there here and then Miami is our
- 46:37I would say la Miami Atlanta, our busiest cities and then you
- 46:42would like ship a car there. And like now for the most part
- 46:45we have local okay fixers that's better helping out.
- 46:48Are you overseeing this stuff too?
- 46:50Like are you going there? Chips, operation is running
- 46:52smoothly and that the car shows up and stuff.
- 46:54Sometimes it's very relative to the project and I guess how much
- 46:57it needs me personally involved, whether I'm just brokering it or
- 47:02if I have to like physically be there.
- 47:04Do you have a favorite one that you've had?
- 47:07Like, that's so tough. Yeah, I see cool cars off?
- 47:11Yeah, and like cool people and like just have like a really
- 47:14interesting like sometimes they're not even that cool cars
- 47:16are just like it's just like a challenging thing to do and it's
- 47:20it's pretty Just neat. Yeah, to like old come see what
- 47:25ya. Get it done.
- 47:26Yeah. You gotta like, you gotta make
- 47:27sure these cars don't get damaged.
- 47:29Right. Yeah.
- 47:30Of course. I mean like everything gets
- 47:32insured properly. Okay.
- 47:35Every ounce of every day. Yeah every car gets like a two
- 47:37million dollar policy. It's like a ridiculously
- 47:39over-the-top policy. Yeah.
- 47:41Anything that would ever possibly happen including like
- 47:43if those Vehicles were to injure somebody okay, but accidents do
- 47:50happen. And it's, you know, you're the
- 47:53middleman for getting the vehicle there.
- 47:55You're also the middleman for like working with insurance is
- 47:57and making sure everyone and kind of like, here's my car.
- 48:01You can use it. So it's like, all right.
- 48:03Well it's in your hands now. So if you screw something up.
- 48:06Yeah it's either got to be covered or whatnot but that's
- 48:10all like fixed in like the contractual agreements per
- 48:13vehicle. And yeah, it's like the more
- 48:16complicated part of why the only the main stressful part probably
- 48:20right like making I'm sure those cars are going good feel like
- 48:22it's all stressful dude, it's because you got a bunny, think
- 48:25any business is going to be pretty stressful.
- 48:27Yeah, Parts. Exactly is a lot of variables
- 48:29and it does it definitely gets I try not to stress about it, was
- 48:32like, what's going to happen? Well, yeah, Ben, but yeah.
- 48:36You try to like find the balance of like, keeping everything in
- 48:39check and just also like, allowing whatever happens to
- 48:42happen and just be ready for whatever.
- 48:44Yeah. As I mean there's there's two
- 48:46like we've every project we run into something new that we
- 48:50weren't Prepared for me like take notes because they're just
- 48:54like well now we know we need all.
- 48:56This is their knowledge is it you and Mike or is it?
- 48:59You have people working for you and some people working for me.
- 49:02Mike isn't too involved in a day by day.
- 49:06Yeah more on just like the bigger projects.
- 49:09Okay. Yeah.
- 49:10I was gonna say you definitely have to have people working for
- 49:12you. It's like a team because yeah, I
- 49:14got a small team. Yeah.
- 49:17Random question that I just want to know for myself, you don't
- 49:19have to give me numbers but It's rent comparable to some here.
- 49:23Or is it way more expensive in the LA for a building?
- 49:26Like it's pretty bad, it's pretty bad.
- 49:28I had a feeling and by the look at that building, I know, I
- 49:31thought we were just going to go right over that, you know, you
- 49:34know, I obviously I wanted to get upfront cost business cause
- 49:37that are not cheap. So I didn't think that we were
- 49:39gonna talk about that because that's how big is your stood.
- 49:42The era Studio square footage, do you know era as mic Studio or
- 49:46mine yours? Mine is 4,800 square feet.
- 49:51Okay. So the double the size.
- 49:52Either way, I was just trying to figure out here.
- 49:54It was this one. Yeah.
- 49:56How much do you pay for square foot?
- 49:58If you don't ask, we're really, we're lucky right now because
- 50:02they haven't really up to us. I pay probably I mean, right now
- 50:06we're paying around I think 2400 and this is 20 Tesla, I think
- 50:13it's 2,200 square feet or something like that so I'm not
- 50:16gonna complain about it. Yeah.
- 50:18And especially around here because I mean, I don't know if
- 50:21you guys are looking for garage ever over here but it is not
- 50:23easy. Yeah, no.
- 50:24I have. Yeah, that's why I'm surprised
- 50:26at all this space and that's why we're not gone yet, because I'm
- 50:29like, I'm not in a rush to leave because it's not going to be and
- 50:32you're solely conveniently located either.
- 50:35Yeah, I agree. Yeah, it's just like right in
- 50:37the middle of everything. Not far from the city not far
- 50:41from English town not far from New York State like but
- 50:45eventually hopefully one day we'll get our own building
- 50:48somewhere somehow. I don't know what a faction
- 50:50corporate we're calling it. We're calling it.
- 50:53The Compound is there, but yeah, it's possible.
- 50:55I went to the barracks the other day and I was really at that and
- 50:58I'm just like, thank the classic that's like the old.
- 51:00I haven't really like looked into that place, but I remember
- 51:03seeing like videos from and stuff, but I haven't really like
- 51:05I looked at it. Least it's so neat.
- 51:07It's just like if I could ever imagine what hopefully are goes
- 51:11into, it's like something like that.
- 51:12It's probably some water probably similar to what I have
- 51:14in my head too, which is very unrealistic.
- 51:16I've talked to and through this, thank people if it's been done
- 51:19before, it's realistic and it hasn't been done before.
- 51:22It's still realistic because like the possibility of.
- 51:25Yeah. It's still there.
- 51:27Yeah. Hopefully, I don't know fucking
- 51:29love that. You just said that to Frankie
- 51:31because he'll never listen to that kind of shit when I say no.
- 51:34I mean that is I mean, He knows, I think like that, too.
- 51:37You got good. None of this would be here if I
- 51:39didn't have a mind like that. Yeah, hundred percent.
- 51:41I'd usually just were very similar in that aspect.
- 51:45Where if you if we think we can do something and we want to do
- 51:48it, we're just going to make it happen.
- 51:49Yeah. So that's how it goes, but I'm
- 51:52just thinking about the financials.
- 51:54It is a lot of money to buy a building, so but yeah.
- 51:58Upfront costs are astronomical. Yeah.
- 52:00Like renting is, is good, like I said, we're good.
- 52:04Like like I feel like you wouldn't trade Add that at, for
- 52:06the world right now? Yeah, absolutely.
- 52:08Yeah. Sometimes I just feel like
- 52:11sweeping this far, and I'm happier than I've ever been like
- 52:16what. I would picture it to like if I
- 52:18had my own I just was always too scared.
- 52:21I'm too afraid to for that leap I'm still on though.
- 52:25Yeah work and keep working until you make a lot of money and then
- 52:27I'll retire and make get a shop. Then I mean, I feel like I took
- 52:30a very safe route, I don't know if we are ever talked about that
- 52:33stuff on the podcast before but like I took us.
- 52:36Route with my business venture. I don't know if you feel the
- 52:38same way or not, but like, I never felt like I was taking a
- 52:42huge leap of faith. Do you feel like you've done
- 52:45that? No, I think I think if anything
- 52:49just the leap of faith. Well, financially, it is
- 52:53relatively difficult, the hardest part is just quote, you
- 52:56close yourself off to a lot of things and like like in terms of
- 53:03being able to do other jobs and like yeah.
- 53:05Life was like or work life, you're just like you're closed
- 53:09off. This is what you're doing for an
- 53:11indefinite period of time and and and to like the highest
- 53:14capacity you can do it every single day.
- 53:17Yeah. So you wake up and your back on
- 53:20that every single day. Yeah.
- 53:22Which is different from what you are used to because you were
- 53:25kind of doing different jobs. Yeah, it's already there.
- 53:28Pretty spaced apart so I can just like diddle Daddle between
- 53:31job. Yeah, I know.
- 53:33But like and now it's more like a almost Like a typical 9 to 5
- 53:37but but it's like a wake up to go to sleep.
- 53:40Yeah, yeah Frank. He's like who.
- 53:43Yeah man. No.
- 53:45But they're like. Yeah, because what even when you
- 53:47you don't even really clock out because, you know, what did you
- 53:49say the other day? Carl Malcolm knows, what did I
- 53:52say? I didn't work.
- 53:54I didn't want to work at 9:00 to 5:00, so now I work at 24/7.
- 54:00Yeah, pretty much same like that.
- 54:01That's like if you if something hits you at like 11:00 Clock at
- 54:06night, you're not going to not okay.
- 54:08But here I know do something. Watch this.
- 54:10Do you feel like you're at work every day?
- 54:12Hell no. Okay, I've been to work like I
- 54:15never want to do that shit again.
- 54:17Yeah. Damn yeah.
- 54:18Like I never feel like I'm at work either.
- 54:20Yeah. That's why I like I'm just like
- 54:22a live. Yeah you know that we're right
- 54:24here is warm. When you wake up and you're like
- 54:26I got it, I got it. Yeah I never want to feel that
- 54:29again fuck dude. When that feeling left I was
- 54:32like I didn't realize it until I could I'm using on Control,
- 54:36like, I'm just like whatever. Like just gone through it.
- 54:39And then all of a sudden one day, I'll wake up and be like,
- 54:41wow, I don't hate waking up and going to work anymore.
- 54:43Wow, this is kind of sick. Yeah.
- 54:45What are you Malcolm? He fucking hates it here.
- 54:47No, I don't feel like I'm working.
- 54:49I asked you that question the other day, right?
- 54:51Yeah, I don't feel like I'm working.
- 54:52I always like to you hate going to work and waking up and he was
- 54:55like, not really, I'm like a George Carver.
- 54:58Wow! I get here early.
- 54:59He gets. Yeah, he gets here before me.
- 55:01He just hanging out in the parking lot.
- 55:02Yeah. And thick quiet time.
- 55:04Yeah, this is it. He just takes a little nap.
- 55:07Go on my phone. Yeah, let's go.
- 55:08Start a except today you were late.
- 55:10Anyway, that's because there was road work on 7th.
- 55:13Of course. But yeah no, that's cool man.
- 55:17I'm glad that you're in that position now because I mean
- 55:21that's I mean, that's the goal for people like us where we had
- 55:25that mentality where you're like, there's nothing wrong with
- 55:27working for someone else. I always will say that but I
- 55:29don't know. I think it's all.
- 55:31It's all relative to being completely honest with yourself.
- 55:33And there's some people that I know that like they function to
- 55:35their best capacity, working a brainless job or and I even
- 55:39brainless just like something that's like irrelevant to I know
- 55:43what you're saying by Bray. That's like you just doing a
- 55:45task and like getting that task done and then yeah.
- 55:48And then like their home life is just like everything to them.
- 55:51And yeah like it's just like it's bitch very relative.
- 55:55So it kind of like Carl. Yeah.
- 55:57And here's the benefit Optimum Carl.
- 55:58You get a bunch of money and you don't got to worry about shit
- 56:02about the business. Yeah but then if you it's not
- 56:06yours so you like that, I want it to be yours because that gets
- 56:11away. It's so nothing is ours.
- 56:14Nothing. Yeah that's a get too
- 56:16philosophical but let's get taken away.
- 56:18Yes, it could. But but like let's say it gets
- 56:21taken away like that was still your thing.
- 56:23You did that, okay? But hear me out if this does get
- 56:26taken away What job am I going to go get, if yours gets taken
- 56:32away, I could apply to another job.
- 56:34Have a lot on your resume, I guess.
- 56:36And I heard this on another podcast.
- 56:39I think it was the goodest cast with Palmer.
- 56:41Mmm. And if this is dude, yeah.
- 56:44God forbid, this gets over to you man.
- 56:45I love your podcast. And you wonder why it's over.
- 56:49We got to do each other's podcast.
- 56:51Yeah, that would be silly. That'd be awesome but not was
- 56:53listening to his podcast and somebody said something about
- 56:56compartmentalizing. And I guess that's kind of what
- 56:59I do. Like I'll go to work and like I
- 57:01show up here. I'm in my work clothes.
- 57:03That's why I'm dressed up most of the time.
- 57:05I thought you just did it for us now, unless you, like when I do
- 57:08that I'll do it more. But like, I compartmentalize and
- 57:13I don't, I don't like intertwine those two, sometimes, I'll drive
- 57:16the drift car to work and I'll park it like far as shit away
- 57:18and like, not talk to anybody about drifting.
- 57:20I'm not like hey I was at the track this weekend but like
- 57:24that's something that I wish was at the same time.
- 57:27Like intertwined with what I do? Like what if I work for like
- 57:29some sort of corporate division of a something manufacturer
- 57:33garment called thing is, you could end up with a job like
- 57:36that, I would love to but, you know, I'm trying to get my
- 57:39experience up. I have my own.
- 57:40You like the balance of like none of your like drifting car
- 57:46life meshes in your work life. I think I've grown more
- 57:49appreciation to it, the more that I'm doing it because I have
- 57:52been in this kind of field for a few years now and Like it's that
- 57:57when I get out of work, I find that cars and doing this and
- 58:00coming to do the podcast. That's why I come here and
- 58:02bother Frankie and he's so tired of it.
- 58:05And I'm like, dude, I've been sitting in an office all day.
- 58:07I want to, he drives farm and he drives like almost an hour every
- 58:11Tuesday to get here and do this. I like I enjoy doing it.
- 58:14I see possibility in it. I've told you before, like, I
- 58:17believe in your business. I like everything that it stands
- 58:19for sort of, like, you sort of angst.
- 58:23And like, I like, I almost Envy I'm like damn like one day you
- 58:27know because that now you're kind of on board.
- 58:28So it is I am and I always will be but the thing is is like one
- 58:33of the like every time I think I've been on like a bunch of
- 58:36interviews and they ask you like, where do you see yourself?
- 58:39What your end goal, right? I'm like, I always tell them the
- 58:41same thing. I this is the one time to I'll
- 58:44intertwine them because I'll be like, I want to get old retired,
- 58:48take that money. I had put into a shop, I don't
- 58:50even care how the shop does. I'm there too.
- 58:52And just do what I like because that's the end of the day.
- 58:55This is one of of my true love's is Just Cars.
- 58:58It doesn't even have to be drifting just cars in general,
- 59:00that's cool, Gucci right now. Hmm, he's doing side to that.
- 59:02Video of him lately. He just has a smaller garage.
- 59:06Like yeah, I just work on like to people's cars side mission.
- 59:09Yeah, side missions. Fuck, man.
- 59:12I had so many good things to say when you said that, but I feel
- 59:14like I forgot them already, but that have you have you watched
- 59:17the severance? What is that all TV, I haven't
- 59:20watched it yet, but the gist of it is that it's like this like
- 59:24near future Society where You have this option to be Severin.
- 59:27Just so essentially your work Consciousness doesn't know
- 59:31anything about your personal life, Consciousness and vice
- 59:34versa. So like when you walk into work
- 59:38you just shut off and like the next thing your personal
- 59:41Consciousness he's is you walking out of work, okay?
- 59:43Well know before you go any further it's trippy as fuck.
- 59:46That's how I view having a job versus owning a business.
- 59:49Yay because that's exactly how I acted when I had a job.
- 59:53I would go in, do my shit. And the second I left.
- 59:58I don't give a fuck about anything that was that's how
- 1:00:00College was for me like oh there's a there's a, there's a
- 1:00:03fuck, there's a fucking car, that's got this customers got I
- 1:00:06was all I'm sorry it's 6:00, I'm gone, thank God, Malcolm's, not
- 1:00:09like that, but that's how I was. So what I'm saying I would say
- 1:00:13the same thing like Chris would be stressing out over a car.
- 1:00:16I just want to get this out because I was thinking about it
- 1:00:18and he liked this fucking thing in like and he would be getting
- 1:00:22really stressed out to the point where he's like, physically
- 1:00:25angry. Yeah.
- 1:00:26And throwing his Tools and I'm like, Chris.
- 1:00:28Is that your car? He's like, no.
- 1:00:30I'm like, is this your business? He's like no.
- 1:00:31I'm like, why do you fucking care so much boy.
- 1:00:35No straight up, though. I am.
- 1:00:36I was like, calm down. Calm down.
- 1:00:40And relax. And you know what?
- 1:00:42Don't even touch that car anymore.
- 1:00:43Go home and come back tomorrow, and look at it again, because
- 1:00:48guess who has to deal with that? Customer me.
- 1:00:50Not you. That's 10.
- 1:00:52And be happy for that. Yeah, and that same thing with
- 1:00:55you though, like when you have problems at work and shit,
- 1:00:59obviously there's some problems that are going to directly
- 1:01:01relate to you. Yeah, but as long as you're
- 1:01:03doing a good job at work, most of the problems.
- 1:01:06Like that's your fucking that's your bosses problem, dude.
- 1:01:09That's not your problem. Like when something's not
- 1:01:11working, right? And he didn't he didn't finish a
- 1:01:12car by a certain time as long as he was actually working on it.
- 1:01:15That's my problem. I got to deal with the cops.
- 1:01:17Wouldn't you say though, that? That's like that.
- 1:01:19That shit that's like a type of devotion, that some people,
- 1:01:22that's their just characterized to be that way.
- 1:01:24And it's good that he's like that.
- 1:01:25Yeah. But I, it needs.
- 1:01:26There needs to be a line. Yeah.
- 1:01:28And you can't be taking that shit.
- 1:01:30Like, dude, I would never take that shit.
- 1:01:31That's something that this company that I just start.
- 1:01:33I will, you know, kind of been working on recently, is like
- 1:01:37they, for the first time like this job, they're more.
- 1:01:41They're more concerned about, like, work-life balance, that's
- 1:01:44why I can get here to do this. Podcast on Tuesdays or some
- 1:01:48days. I want to work from home or
- 1:01:49something, because my dogs not feeling well like they're more
- 1:01:53concerned about that kind of thing.
- 1:01:54Something that I'm kind of grateful for, for where I'm at
- 1:01:56right now. Yeah, that's what makes me want
- 1:01:58to work. Work harder is, I'm like, okay
- 1:01:59they kind of show me. Respect and that way, there's
- 1:02:02days where I forgot I might have called out to go do something
- 1:02:05car-related. I was like you know what?
- 1:02:07I kind of want to go drifting and as I'd also depends on your
- 1:02:09boss. I guess that too.
- 1:02:10So like, but like that's the mechanic mindset that I was
- 1:02:13saying before, like, that's a dealership mindset because like
- 1:02:15you hear other like they'll be working on cars.
- 1:02:18Can't figure it out. You'll hear the Master Tech like
- 1:02:20well, Like 6:00 comes around, he's packed up where you going
- 1:02:24man of cars. Now it's 6:00, I'm leaving music
- 1:02:27but you didn't figure it out. He's like, it's not my car.
- 1:02:31So why is he gonna go home and take all that stress, true.
- 1:02:33And that's like, an important part of life that I feel like, I
- 1:02:37disregarded to think about, out of college out of college, like,
- 1:02:41my mentality was always like, okay, what's next got to work,
- 1:02:44right? That's, that's part of it.
- 1:02:45You get your degree, you used a degree, blah, blah, blah, blah,
- 1:02:47blah, blah. I failed to realize that that
- 1:02:50like there's more More like that part outside of work.
- 1:02:54Well, that's that mean. That's everyone, that's that.
- 1:02:56That's that part, that I feel like no one.
- 1:02:58At least I wasn't focused on. Like, I was like, oh, I've got
- 1:03:01to keep thinking about work. Well, that's the American
- 1:03:04Spirit. Yeah, it's kind of, you kind of
- 1:03:06taught that way until he taught yourself.
- 1:03:08Suicide worry about that part of you, when you're like 65.
- 1:03:12Yeah, which is not good. Yeah, that's like our kind of
- 1:03:16taught to be hard when you're young.
- 1:03:18So when you're old brittle and tired can't even open Eyes.
- 1:03:21You can relax what unless you didn't pay off your student
- 1:03:24loans. Yeah we're gonna dock that
- 1:03:26scared her. What?
- 1:03:29No. But, you know, like that, that
- 1:03:31was that I do. I don't know if I like I
- 1:03:34wouldn't know until I would got into that.
- 1:03:37I do, I tell all my friends, like it sucks up because it's
- 1:03:40like I'm in a position where I can do wherever whatever I want
- 1:03:43to do for the most part as far as going places and taking time
- 1:03:46off, which is why this exists because I wanted to do that.
- 1:03:50Hmm. I'd say that's the main reason
- 1:03:52why I don't know if you're similar like doing your own
- 1:03:55thing and like like the freedom, you have to like, go do
- 1:03:59anything. That is the best part of about
- 1:04:02owning a business by far, we have a group of friends that we
- 1:04:05all go go-karting every Tuesday morning.
- 1:04:08It's like a sauna do that. Yeah.
- 1:04:11Right Tuesday morning. Yeah.
- 1:04:14That place is probably dead. Yep.
- 1:04:15That's awesome. Is it?

- 1:04:23friend group. That's like.

- 1:04:37don't have enough PTO for this like come on man it's just two
- 1:04:40weeks. That's not how it works and I'm

- 1:05:02this and I'm like, bro, you're not, you're not always going to
- 1:05:06have these opportunities. And one time he listened to me
- 1:05:10and we fucking went out, and we fucking had a crazy trip, and I
- 1:05:14was like, thank fucking God. I, he did that because like, now

- 1:07:16experience doing this. I had to leave a car and wasn't

- 1:07:21they said they had a guy out there and like, what?
- 1:07:2415 minutes Frankie was already ready to call it a night was a
- 1:07:27big bonding experience for me and all of them.

- 1:07:32and him had to drive looking for a U-Haul trailer for like
- 1:07:34because I was going to tow it back because I didn't have a
- 1:07:36car. Hmm, I was just going to tell it
- 1:07:38back but then I was like, Carl's got bad luck and my transmission

- 1:07:48shithole of a people for cabin people and also our And then our
- 1:07:51extra to Whole Trailer. I'm not that close with you at
- 1:07:56this point and I was not going to have that be our first.
- 1:08:00One of our first interactions is where I his car blows up in the
- 1:08:03blows my mind, cause your car to die and then we can't go home.
- 1:08:07So anyway, we scrub, that piece of shit scrapped.
- 1:08:09It, I called the junkyard they gave me 300 bucks.
- 1:08:11I went home with $300 because I could've spent $140 already.
- 1:08:16Yeah, 160 bucks. You got pay for going on this
- 1:08:20trip. Yeah.
- 1:08:21Yeah. But ya know that that was an
- 1:08:23experience that I would never trade for the world.

- 1:08:53What's going on with the car? And then he like looked over the
- 1:08:55speedo and it's just fucking bouncing off the government and
- 1:08:57then and then it turns off. And then turns back on.
- 1:08:59I'm like, it's really scary when it hits it.
- 1:09:01It's like and it cuts all the power.
- 1:09:04It's like I feel cut. Yeah, it's some crazy shit.
- 1:09:06I'm like, it feels like he broke everything when it when it hits.
- 1:09:09I'm like, fuck scared of shit. Anyway, we made it.
- 1:09:11Yeah, we made it moral of the story.
- 1:09:13It's fun, doing stuff out on a whim.

- 1:09:16especially. Yeah, we have the chat open here

- 1:09:28from so many people sitting in it that it like you know it had
- 1:09:32a really cool option sticker on the back Frankie that's the only
- 1:09:36reason I was trying to get this car back.

- 1:10:27Yeah. But I definitely I've been
- 1:10:29meaning to get like another is out there to just have like the
- 1:10:32CRM, almost close. Dude.

- 1:10:39The probably much cleaner. Know, sometimes that in
- 1:10:42Brussels, no, it just situation. I don't know.
- 1:10:46Don't care enough about right. Yeah, my car looks like I found
- 1:10:50it inside. Anak.
- 1:10:52Yeah, I'm a rust guy, man. He's got no Russ, I will drive
- 1:10:54to the end of the Earth. Fortune to get that.
- 1:10:56Mine has like you know, in the middle of the rocker.
- 1:10:59Mine has a hole right there. But other everywhere else.
- 1:11:02Nothing and I can say that because I'm bad luck Carl.
- 1:11:06I've taken that thing apart, like a gajillion times.
- 1:11:09Yeah, dude. But know that bad luck isn't
- 1:11:11real. That's true.
- 1:11:13Oh no, bad luck isn't true. It's all perspective.
- 1:11:17It is sometimes it could life is nine is 10% what happens and
- 1:11:2290%. How you perceive it?
- 1:11:25I like that. I like that.
- 1:11:27Wait, what was the percentage again?
- 1:11:30It's 10%. What happens and 90%.
- 1:11:32How you perceive it with Carl? It's 90% of what happens and 10%
- 1:11:36of how I perceived and the 10% is great.
- 1:11:39Sometimes I just very positive. Yeah but then a that 90% dude I
- 1:11:43don't know how the fuck this should be happening to you all
- 1:11:45but I know okay but I will say, I haven't after that.
- 1:11:49Final bout experience. I have not seen any more bad
- 1:11:52luck stop. You better not.
- 1:11:55I swear to God, I don't even think I've seen you better not
- 1:11:58any. My car literally is not going
- 1:11:59into gear right now, but, but how long has it been?
- 1:12:03The thing is, is, yeah, I changed my perspective because
- 1:12:06the car went down, right? I'm like, I'm gonna fix it, you
- 1:12:10know, it'll get fixed. And if it doesn't get fixed, I'm
- 1:12:12going to keep trying to get it fixed.
- 1:12:14Because what am I going to do? Sell it, and then I have nothing
- 1:12:17again because I sold the car. He's not selling cars and
- 1:12:21Anymore. Yeah, he's a changed man.
- 1:12:22It's just like this so cars left and right.
- 1:12:25It's just like not. I just kind of learned.
- 1:12:28I don't know if that comes with growing up but just like I'm
- 1:12:30just too tired. You're just hanging out with me
- 1:12:32more. I guess you use.
- 1:12:34You had you. Do you doing right?
- 1:12:35Gauges you. Yeah and also bad influence
- 1:12:39because sometimes Parts where I'll go.
- 1:12:42Like, you know what routes where I'm like, you know what?
- 1:12:45I can just go and do my homework and maybe I could do something
- 1:12:48for less money, just bring more Carl the vertex body or franking
- 1:12:51it up. I found a Vertex kid.
- 1:12:55Now, you found a replica of a replica one for 700 beans and
- 1:12:59Frankie was like going down south real fast.
- 1:13:04I'm like damn it. No.
- 1:13:05I mean there's nothing wrong with that if you want.
- 1:13:07I mean like I would like to have so it's good for you.
- 1:13:11Yeah, for myself I mean I just want the car to like look better
- 1:13:15like, you know, like a drift car.
- 1:13:17Make it happen. All right back to Sebastian.
- 1:13:20Wait, wait. There's just there's a chance
- 1:13:22that there's a there's a there's a question in the chat that are
- 1:13:24addressed because it before we go back to Sebastian and maybe
- 1:13:27you might have input in this. Hmm.
- 1:13:29If the RX would have never broken wood, Malcolm Carlin,
- 1:13:32Frankie still be friends. I don't know.
- 1:13:33And like that, has that ever happened to you?
- 1:13:35Where, like, you could blame something on one moment?
- 1:13:37Oh, my God. Yeah, right.
- 1:13:38Like we're like, how did you and Mike me?
- 1:13:42We're just trying to figure this out the other day.
- 1:13:45I actually, I learned, I always ask this, like, I don't remember
- 1:13:48exactly how we met but it was definitely through Anthony.
- 1:13:54Oh, yeah, yeah. But we don't remember exactly
- 1:13:58when you guys see like I to I like because I feel like that's
- 1:14:02why me and Frankie, dude, those guys are linked to the brain, it
- 1:14:05would Choice. Yeah.
- 1:14:07It's pretty wild like that. Like me and Frank.
- 1:14:10Remember the other day me Carl For the record.
- 1:14:13I don't know what kind of drugs. He's smoking.
- 1:14:14Stop. We are we.
- 1:14:16Are you just don't know it as much?
- 1:14:17I did not like him and Mike. Yeah.
- 1:14:19I seen it in action. That's scary.
- 1:14:21We just think the same and we have like the same vision.
- 1:14:25I agree. Yeah.
- 1:14:25That's kind of like me and Chris.
- 1:14:28Yeah, yeah, that's true. Because I seen it so come in
- 1:14:32here. Be like.
- 1:14:32Yeah. So I'm like, yeah, I know I'm
- 1:14:34gonna order one Amelia wait, how do you know what I was talking
- 1:14:37about Nora and then he'll just leave, it comes like what?
- 1:14:40Maybe me and Malcolm are similar because we do Vibe when were
- 1:14:42yeah? What is this dust?
- 1:14:44Yeah, but that happens because me and Chris each other every
- 1:14:46single day for the last two years.
- 1:14:47Yeah. I mean but that was like an that
- 1:14:50I feel like when you guys started doing collaborations
- 1:14:52with things and work and shit like that, I was like next
- 1:14:56level. Yeah.
- 1:14:57Like yeah. And then and then it just kept
- 1:14:59going and up and up, and up and up.
- 1:15:01So like that's that's that's a friendship, they work together.
- 1:15:03So yeah, the other day I directed a commercial for a
- 1:15:07Wheel company and C. So you just it to and like it
- 1:15:11came out. Exactly.
- 1:15:12Glee. How?
- 1:15:13I like damn wrote it like I didn't have to like So you
- 1:15:17Direction it to every now and again so you do a lot, you know
- 1:15:21a lot of different jobs. I tried.
- 1:15:23Yeah. See, I don't know, I'm not too
- 1:15:25familiar with all these technical.
- 1:15:27I try to be up-to-date on videography and stuff and like
- 1:15:31the terms and everything in filming.
- 1:15:33But like, when I hear my car, you will put a post up LP
- 1:15:38director. I'm like trying to decipher what
- 1:15:41all the pain. I'm like, I got like four of
- 1:15:43them pretty good but like I still don't know all of them.
- 1:15:47I mean, there's like a whole team of people to make things
- 1:15:50happen so and it's like way more than you would like a normal
- 1:15:53person would think because there's like a lighting guy.
- 1:15:56There's like like yeah, there's like what me one main lighting
- 1:15:59person depending on the size of job he has like for people to
- 1:16:02six people under him. The one that really shocked me
- 1:16:04was when Mike told me about, I remember I went out, it was me
- 1:16:08and Mike I went to his house, I don't know what we're doing,
- 1:16:09probably talking about some faction movie.
- 1:16:12And he just puts on, he puts on like Scream to or some shit.
- 1:16:16He's like, I love this one. I'm like me to amuse me.
- 1:16:20Mike, just watch the screen TVs like okay.
- 1:16:21Now watch this scene and he's telling me what's going on
- 1:16:26behind the camera. As it's going on.
- 1:16:28That's one of my most memorable watching.
- 1:16:30Anything experiences of my life. He pie doesn't even know that
- 1:16:33but he's telling me like. And then what I was getting to
- 1:16:36was the person that I don't know if it's like, I think they like,
- 1:16:41they control something on the camera that either has something
- 1:16:44to do with lighting, or the way it's tracking or something.
- 1:16:49It's like, the job sounds, so simple.
- 1:16:52But it's like, mandatory is the one that pulled the focus.
- 1:16:56Yes. Oh yeah.
- 1:16:57That was it. Yeah, dude.
- 1:16:59That's I don't know what the fuck you guys are talking about.
- 1:17:01If you're like, tracking someone like, you're like that and in a
- 1:17:04film production, you know, there's the trickle-down of
- 1:17:08Camera Department. There's a DP That's Mike person
- 1:17:11that makes the decisions behind every camera movement and how
- 1:17:16scenes are lit. And then there's first assistant
- 1:17:23camera, which is the person that builds out the camera.
- 1:17:26And then also while things are being filmed there, controlling
- 1:17:29the focus. You're watching a monitor and
- 1:17:33they have a wheel that keeps everything in Focus.
- 1:17:37So without that person you just shooting you know because it's
- 1:17:41not like it's not like an autofocus or somewhat the fucked
- 1:17:43like a one person's Manning the camera.
- 1:17:45The other ones, keeping this subject in fear just watching a
- 1:17:48screen. Yeah.
- 1:17:48Or whatever. Is meant to be in focus for a
- 1:17:51scene? Damn.
- 1:17:52I'm never going to look at videos the same anymore.
- 1:17:54That's what I'm saying and holy shit.
- 1:17:56You talk dude. And then he would broke that.
- 1:17:57He broke down the lighting and I was like, holy shit and see.
- 1:18:01Seeing you, you weren't there when we did the third Christmas?
- 1:18:04No. No, I wish I wish you were
- 1:18:06today, but when the video so much it was it was any watch it
- 1:18:10during the holidays. Mike and Anthony they came to
- 1:18:14film this video, right? And the fucking only thing, I
- 1:18:17really remember clearly more going to bring up the fireplace
- 1:18:20fireplace, dude, they filmed this fight.
- 1:18:23They're, they're like, like I had a vision in my head, I was
- 1:18:26like, all right, the camera comes in here and then there's a
- 1:18:28fire like you see the fire like making you It.
- 1:18:31So you know, yeah dude. When he when he broke that down
- 1:18:34and like you got Anthony on the floor with the fucking light and
- 1:18:37like a piece of paper. And I'm like, how is this going
- 1:18:39to look like and then you watch it?
- 1:18:42Mind blown. But yeah, Mike would tell me
- 1:18:45about the lighting and that's just that one, scream scene with
- 1:18:48Sarah, Michelle Gellar in it, when she's the best scene in the
- 1:18:51movie, when he's like coming into that the college dorm or
- 1:18:56whatever and she's looking around, she's going through
- 1:18:58different rooms. Oh yeah, yeah, and yeah.
- 1:19:01He's like explaining where the light is and why it's there and
- 1:19:05like, how her face looks and like, what kind of emotion,
- 1:19:07they're trying to get you. I was like, dude it I already
- 1:19:11respected movies but after that I was like, I'm so like that was
- 1:19:15one of those moments where I was like can I just ditched what I'm
- 1:19:17doing right now and go into a completely different field?
- 1:19:20Or is it too late? I can't I have a respect for you
- 1:19:24and what you do special for like, A multitude of reasons,
- 1:19:28one because you're around friend and I'll get hyped every time I
- 1:19:30see you do stuff. Yeah, with Mike and actually
- 1:19:32anybody else there that whole crew.
- 1:19:34I put them in the same crew. Might like, that's I just have,
- 1:19:39I have. No, I'm curious to see what you
- 1:19:41guys are going to do in the future.
- 1:19:42I'm sure you're going to find something else.
- 1:19:43I feel like that's just built ingrained in how your
- 1:19:46positioning. Yeah.
- 1:19:47Yeah, I'm curious as well. Do ya like my open to like is
- 1:19:50everything right now had just been a natural progression and
- 1:19:53I'm just kind of like adapting to what Happens as opposed to
- 1:19:58like, trying to force. Yeah, because it's no, no need
- 1:20:03to force things while still drifting and you guys have a you
- 1:20:06guys have a team. You let's talk more about that.
- 1:20:08Yeah. When I had a question about that
- 1:20:10too. Yeah I have it right here so you
- 1:20:12guys have a drift team it's called Auto real dream.
- 1:20:14Yeah. I think it's right here.
- 1:20:17Yeah, there's a sticker of Sebastian sleeping in the car.
- 1:20:20Yeah. But it's the best thicker.
- 1:20:23I love this thing. But like, do you guys are you
- 1:20:27guys trying to drive more together?
- 1:20:29It's you, yeah. It's me David Diego.
- 1:20:33Nico and Juan. Who we added this year?
- 1:20:39We were driving a lot last year and then Diego got Of his is
- 1:20:46Nico. Got rid of his 86, but then they
- 1:20:49both recently acquired Jay-Z. Yeah.
- 1:20:51Like, I was like, oh, okay, both have them.
- 1:20:54I thought it was Nico. Bought a Jet across the 100.
- 1:20:57Oh, shit, and it comes in December.
- 1:21:00Oh, okay. That's why I'm singing.
- 1:21:01Yeah, and then Diego got the under Chaser.
- 1:21:03He's well, that's kind of a good line.
- 1:21:05The only odd one out now is Dave, I guess it's everyone's
- 1:21:09like Toyota sedans now, well, and Lon.
- 1:21:11I don't think you guys know. I don't.
- 1:21:12Um, he has a nice chassis. Oh okay.
- 1:21:15Yeah. That variety.
- 1:21:16Yeah, that's a that's like the opposite of what we're trying to
- 1:21:20do. We have a lot of s Jesse's and
- 1:21:22then me and yeah, we're trying to, we're trying to bring BM
- 1:21:26speed Stars over and connect them.
- 1:21:28Okay. I just want to drive with
- 1:21:30Frankie like and I want to drive more.
- 1:21:32I feel like that's something I've been trying to do.
- 1:21:33I've been trying to having the team Dynamic helps you drive
- 1:21:35more? Because like you have like that
- 1:21:37like structured schedule almost and you're just like well
- 1:21:41everyone is driving. So I'm driving and you got like
- 1:21:43I'm everyone I don't know who the Leaders in your group.
- 1:21:46But you always have that one person that's going to be like,
- 1:21:48okay, we all need to go to this event like this.
- 1:21:50Yeah I do. That's that's clearly Chris.
- 1:21:54Chris is like the one who do we have to go now but now I really.
- 1:22:00That is you and I'll give you I'll give you credit for that
- 1:22:03for always pushing us. Oh yeah.
- 1:22:05And like Josh I feel like it's probably you to is it not as you
- 1:22:09and Dave it's more Diego for the most part.
- 1:22:12Really? Yeah.
- 1:22:13Except day at one point. He was the one who Who is just
- 1:22:16like guys. I'm just gonna stop drifting.
- 1:22:18Yeah, I mean, I mean, you know, it's financially tasking for
- 1:22:21sure. Oh yeah.
- 1:22:22And he's just like I need to focus on like life life but then
- 1:22:25he focused on life life and he's like what is life without
- 1:22:27drifting. It's like, totally relate.
- 1:22:30Once it's introduced into your life, you're just like, shit.
- 1:22:33I gotta make it. I gotta make this work.
- 1:22:34It's everything that I like about cars.
- 1:22:36In one thing, they're driving a car recklessly.
- 1:22:39It makes no sense on paper. Yeah, to drive around a
- 1:22:43racetrack like that. It's absolutely the most
- 1:22:45Efficient way to get around a race track.
- 1:22:47Yeah, it's what you love it anyway the style everything like
- 1:22:51the environment like it's like the friends that you have there.
- 1:22:54Like it's like the most fun thing for me.
- 1:22:56It's mostly the friends thing that I think the free of the
- 1:22:59friend thing would really. I think that's like the icing on
- 1:23:01the cake but I mean yeah you guys know for a good amount of
- 1:23:04everything I do. And like drifting is my favorite
- 1:23:07thing. I like that you stand over
- 1:23:09stairs. You still have that like you
- 1:23:12never forget about it now you. It's an unforgettable.
- 1:23:15Yeah, like You'll post all of this stuff and you could be like
- 1:23:18with a Lambo, like the day before and then I'll see you
- 1:23:22like a video. You drifting.
- 1:23:23And I'm like yes salaam bug can't wait, can't wait to get
- 1:23:26home to my is yeah exactly what it is.
- 1:23:30Literally dude, I can't wait to get home to my oil leaks.
- 1:23:33So how was like the team started?
- 1:23:36Like how did you guys like all get together?
- 1:23:38Like all right, we're gonna do this, I mean Diego or driving
- 1:23:40together for like two years. Okay.
- 1:23:45Very Like just we had like a team Dynamic, I guess.
- 1:23:48And between me and him because we had same card for best
- 1:23:52friends and she's driving that all the time that is was sick.
- 1:23:55Yeah. I wish she still had it.
- 1:23:57That is 300 you remember their car call.
- 1:23:59So I know I remember seeing it at at formula chuckling I'm glad
- 1:24:04you saw that car because it was a had like this.
- 1:24:07I'm a big detail guy. Like if you have something that
- 1:24:09you worked, obvious, obviously hard on.
- 1:24:12I'm going to see it and like he had tint on the windows.
- 1:24:15I do, but it was like, it was just a partial.
- 1:24:18Yes, blame cut out. That was the first car.
- 1:24:20I judged at final bout. Whatever the East one was the
- 1:24:24last. Oh yeah.
- 1:24:25Or not. Even the last.
- 1:24:26He's one of my been the one before.
- 1:24:27That was the one before that. Yeah.
- 1:24:29And I was like, well, the bar is set pretty high because I was
- 1:24:34like, taking back. I was like, I had no idea that
- 1:24:37car was like that, good. Yeah, I really had no idea.
- 1:24:40So, but yeah. Anyway, so you guys are drifting
- 1:24:43together. Yeah.
- 1:24:44And then But yeah. So once we're driving like a lot
- 1:24:49together, we were like, looking at like, what else we could do?
- 1:24:52Like, final battle is always on unlike the to-do list, but you
- 1:24:56can't do final ballot to people and then coincidentally Diego
- 1:25:02met, Nico. Like a Pocono event attacks me
- 1:25:05about him. He's like, I'm at this guy's
- 1:25:06super cooled to blue Toyota. So, it'll make mesh with the
- 1:25:10team. And then we all like, drove an
- 1:25:12event. Then we were driving.
- 1:25:14And then I was already friends with David Bob and so yeah, and
- 1:25:19invited him to an event with us and then we're like, I, we got
- 1:25:23to do what they've evolved to see.
- 1:25:24That was cool because it was it's so natural.
- 1:25:26Ever had Talent, place the AE86 and then you had the new.
- 1:25:30Yeah, 86. And then you have the two is has
- 1:25:33and the my favorite was when you painted them, both the two of
- 1:25:36them. One color and two of them.
- 1:25:37Another color. Yeah, I really like that.
- 1:25:39That was really cool. That was some big brain shit
- 1:25:43because I was in my mind I was like I never Co for matching
- 1:25:47color team ever again, personally.
- 1:25:49So when I saw you do that, I was like now that is an option.
- 1:25:53Yeah. Because we were like, alright,
- 1:25:54what are the two options for a team like all matching or
- 1:25:57everyone different colors? And then we're like, What?
- 1:26:01If it's a good idea, it worked out perfectly because like Diego
- 1:26:06and Eco cars were already blue. And then all we had to do is
- 1:26:09make David's the same. Dark, green is my car and then
- 1:26:12we had a yeah, well, looking theme.
- 1:26:15So So, take notes out there people, I love, I love you
- 1:26:18though. I see, I see, I see it outside
- 1:26:20right now, that's my favorite fresh it, this winter.
- 1:26:23It's so hard to say, but I wanted to say this for we get
- 1:26:28past it. So it seems like final bout
- 1:26:31brought groups of people together to form teams in a way
- 1:26:34because you're like, I want to go to final bout.
- 1:26:36We already have these this, these two cars but like, let's
- 1:26:40see if we can and I used to view that as kind of like a bad
- 1:26:43thing, not a bad thing but like a whack.
- 1:26:45Thing in a way. But after hearing you just say
- 1:26:47it, it kind of made me feel more positive about it.
- 1:26:50Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:26:51I know what you mean? We weren't at any point like
- 1:26:54forcing it. Yeah.
- 1:26:55Feel like, fuck. We gotta put a team together.
- 1:26:57Yeah. Just pulling people.
- 1:26:58It kind of looks like we wanted to put a team together and then
- 1:27:02like, oh, that's we just met this person.
- 1:27:04Is the second, we've Ivan. We drive good and then we and
- 1:27:07then bring this other person along it.
- 1:27:08I think it's because great, you guys were a pair already.
- 1:27:11So it doesn't seem that bad. It's the people that go out of
- 1:27:13come out of left field. They're like, and they're wrong.
- 1:27:16They're on a Facebook. Yo, anyone want to drive?
- 1:27:20Final bout me? We get a team together.
- 1:27:22I'm like, okay, that's not. You got like, one dude from like
- 1:27:25SoCal one. Yeah, Linden like one, dude,
- 1:27:27from Arizona, that I've never driven him mad, they even let
- 1:27:30people like that in personally but like because you want to
- 1:27:33have a team of friends, I want to drive with Frankie so fucking
- 1:27:36bad. But then he spends it, he sends
- 1:27:40me a video of something similar to his motor setup.
- 1:27:44Like, and and I Slide back. I was like, how the fuck do you
- 1:27:48expect us to Tandem with you? When you have this spaceship not
- 1:27:53to be, all right? It's a boot, it's boost.
- 1:27:55You just turn it down, that's it.
- 1:27:58Yeah, I like and and the g is, it's a it now that I kind of
- 1:28:02learned how to drive it a little bit.
- 1:28:04It's like not slow but it's not fast.
- 1:28:06Like keep the wheel spinning all the time, but it doesn't like
- 1:28:11zinc move. It doesn't go faster forward in
- 1:28:13any way, shape, or form. Like, you're just Come on it,
- 1:28:16you're stuck. Yeah, so sorry.
- 1:28:20I'm just I'm still thinking about this.
- 1:28:21So when, when was your team formed, I'm going to ask you for
- 1:28:24a year again. So a year, roughly 18 and even a
- 1:28:29few years we've seen because here's my follow-up.
- 1:28:32Here's my follow-up question. You guys you guys came in like
- 1:28:35second or something place in that event right in final bout
- 1:28:39ya. What event was that again?
- 1:28:40It's just so everyone knows east east.
- 1:28:43We are we got a special stage exit strategies.
- 1:28:45At Thompson. Yeah, Thompson.
- 1:28:47And you guys came in what third? Second third, third.
- 1:28:51Yeah, dude. First time like first big event.
- 1:28:55You guys went first competition. That makes me shit my pants.
- 1:28:57I'd be so scared and I was judging so I'm like I'm watching
- 1:29:00them and front streets out there from she's looking like a shit
- 1:29:04show but but the thing was they scored like amazing on the car
- 1:29:08show. Part of it because Tom just
- 1:29:10finished his car like Josh's car was just actually you guys are
- 1:29:13also scored really high on the car show.
- 1:29:15So yeah. So it looks so bad, I can't.
- 1:29:18Yeah, forget that. That's a but do development.
- 1:29:20I remember you guys winning. I mean I was fighting for you
- 1:29:23guys because I was watching, obviously, I was watching your
- 1:29:26driving a lot because well first of all you guys did the most
- 1:29:29laps at every team, their Toyota, baby.
- 1:29:32I remember just kept going right back out like you know, I was
- 1:29:35gonna drive did I remember? I sent Dave a text.
- 1:29:37I was like stop going out because that is every lap was
- 1:29:41perfect and I was like, they're gonna fuck up.
- 1:29:45I'm like Stop you already did like 20 last stop driving and
- 1:29:48they keep coming out and they're just laying down consistent laps
- 1:29:52over and over and over. And in my mind I'm like, how is
- 1:29:54this happening between runs? We would like drive to the back,
- 1:29:59like the skid pad area and we would like, all people just park
- 1:30:03up and get out of our car and just start like high-fiving and
- 1:30:05I would come out and switch the lineup up and I'm like no we
- 1:30:11would literally be like yo you go in front now we got way too
- 1:30:14high. They were treating this, like it
- 1:30:16was a like, a private day. Let's fuck around.
- 1:30:21Yeah, just start switching up. And I'm like, in my mind, I'm
- 1:30:24like, you guys are gonna win this shit.
- 1:30:25Somehow stop driving today, nowt, but dude, it was perfect.
- 1:30:31And then seeing you guys, when they announced the winners, that
- 1:30:34shit. I think, I think I shed a single
- 1:30:36tear, my way fucking cry. Are you kidding me?
- 1:30:38Dude, we thought was like that is some hype shit, right?
- 1:30:41Like they did when they were stoked and I was still trophy in
- 1:30:43my entire life. I wouldn't Literally cry.
- 1:30:46I reminded me of final bout to with us and when we got whatever
- 1:30:50the fuck, we don't even know if we got any more.
- 1:30:51I think it was second or third, but we were, I urge there's a
- 1:30:54photo somewhere with the like, lifting me up.
- 1:30:57We're just so excited to search. Yeah, it's funny.
- 1:31:02But yeah, man. That was cool and that what I'm
- 1:31:04saying is like you guys drive really well together.
- 1:31:07So and that was like one of your first competition events ever no
- 1:31:11motor problems. Toyota.
- 1:31:12Yeah that too. That helped a lot honestly.
- 1:31:15Yeah, like having cars that we can just like do 20 laps
- 1:31:18together, like really help build the team dynamic, because like
- 1:31:23we didn't have like mechanical issues like holding its back.
- 1:31:25Like, I know a lot of people are just like, I've been in the team
- 1:31:28for x amount of years and it's like, yeah, we only driven
- 1:31:31together like a handful of times.
- 1:31:33Yeah, that's how I got in like, five laps in past three years.
- 1:31:37Jesus, yeah, it's called faction Motorsports.
- 1:31:45I've only driven with Kris, like I and I'm going to show you
- 1:31:48different requests have been with Chris.
- 1:31:49Oh yeah. Yeah, you drew.
- 1:31:51Well, we're not like not like, not like how I want to call and
- 1:31:54Chris are good. We went, we either die.
- 1:31:56Watch How I wanna see videos. Are you guys driving?
- 1:31:58I'm watching Frankie drift and I'm like, I think we would be a
- 1:32:01good match. Yeah, I never seen them derived
- 1:32:03together but watching them individually like.
- 1:32:05Chris is already got that. Shit.
- 1:32:06He's done. Carl is just the power thing is
- 1:32:09your only limiting factor I think they drive really similar.
- 1:32:13Yeah, there too. Yeah.
- 1:32:15Another thing with like, you have a team with your boys,
- 1:32:17right versus like a bunch of random people.
- 1:32:19Yes, if I you guys grew up together in drifting, I now I'm
- 1:32:23knocking on wood, but like, I feel not and like, more bad.
- 1:32:29But like if I'm hit, if I hit you, oh God.
- 1:32:32And and it's, and it's and it's all in good spirit likely
- 1:32:35though, we were in, we're tandem wing and, and I, and I hit it.
- 1:32:39What kind of hit like a like a, like I bump your door.
- 1:32:42Okay. It's like, yo we did What cool
- 1:32:46or not because you're kind of sounding like that's how like
- 1:32:49you just like kind of be lined up for the yeah kind of sounds
- 1:32:54like Tom for a minute there. We mean by all mikaze, the end
- 1:32:58of the day you're still my friend.
- 1:33:00Like, you know, depends on how if it look cool, then we're
- 1:33:02good. I'm going to try to make it
- 1:33:04cool. If you were straight and uses
- 1:33:06rammed in my door on The Hairpin at a town Frankie will be like
- 1:33:10dude what are you doing? Know?
- 1:33:11Like I think it justifiable there's like a different energy
- 1:33:15there. It's your friends and and like,
- 1:33:16you're letting this is me, this is what me and Justin, I'm tell
- 1:33:19you to live on this podcast. This is how we me and Justin
- 1:33:21would Drift. We want to get as close as
- 1:33:23humanly possible as your to each other if we touch cars.
- 1:33:27It's okay. But we would much rather not do
- 1:33:30that. Yeah.
- 1:33:30Oh, I don't know. That's the goal.
- 1:33:32I don't want to touch it, but I'm saying it's not like these
- 1:33:33new kids these days where it's like, yeah, we're banging door.
- 1:33:38I don't want to do that. They all think they're naoki and
- 1:33:42like they can just bang shit on, get a good free bumper.
- 1:33:45Origin. I have a feeling like and
- 1:33:47though, we haven't driven together, right?
- 1:33:49Like, It's going to take time, we're not just going to go out
- 1:33:53there. I mean on the rare occasion that
- 1:33:55we will or might like and have it be perfect gonna drive
- 1:33:59totally fine. But first, not going to be good
- 1:34:03and right off the bat it until you go turbo.
- 1:34:05Hmm. That's going to be the limiting
- 1:34:06factor. Are you do you see that in the
- 1:34:09future for you? Do you, do you see yearning?
- 1:34:11Yeah. I mean, I need to know since
- 1:34:13like everybody out everything your whole team has won.
- 1:34:15Jeez. He's like you have a choice.
- 1:34:17Now, don't have a choice. The same boat bullied into This.
- 1:34:21Yeah that's why I'm like taking the winter to refresh the car.
- 1:34:23What route are you going? Well if you decide not to work
- 1:34:26on it let me know. Maybe we'll work something out.
- 1:34:27We can do it well that you're going to do we're doing it live
- 1:34:32across the country route. Are you going to take?
- 1:34:35Do you do you know you want to go 1j?
- 1:34:37You want to go new power plan, or unfortunately?
- 1:34:40Thanks to the good old community of take stock and YouTube verse
- 1:34:451. J is our astronomical price.
- 1:34:47That makes no sense. How much are they?
- 1:34:49Wait, wait, wait, I've been finding him though.
- 1:34:51Oh, he's got her. How much as they used to be like
- 1:34:53900 bucks. I couldn't give them away, not
- 1:34:56900, but but some sub 37 right around.
- 1:35:00That's still ridiculous. $900 is ridiculous and Sr and that's one
- 1:35:05days used to be 900 Engine Depot.
- 1:35:06They couldn't even get, the couldn't give them away.
- 1:35:08Wait for really was, I don't remember it being that.
- 1:35:10No. You know what it is because it's
- 1:35:11not a to J and because drifting wasn't big exactly.
- 1:35:14I think the 1j sounds better than the to jail.
- 1:35:17Yeah. Emma is before people knew how
- 1:35:18great of a motor it was. Yeah and I just wanted to know,
- 1:35:21give me an Aristo. So I'll give you a rest those.
- 1:35:23Well, I need that. Super.
- 1:35:24What the fuck is it Mark to? So, give me that super motor?
- 1:35:28Yeah, exactly. Don't you love when I asked for
- 1:35:31sale posts, a super engine. I need the one Brian spilner
- 1:35:35used. Wait, what was it?
- 1:35:37What's his name in? Brian?
- 1:35:39Earl spilner? You kind of sounds like a serial
- 1:35:42killer. Yeah you kind of sounds like a
- 1:35:43serial killer know that what you are one day.
- 1:35:46We'll do a podcast fast. Hopefully we can drive together.
- 1:35:49Yeah, cool. But yeah, I'm gonna just I'm
- 1:35:52going to Turbo that engine like hope.
- 1:35:55Hey man on vvt-i 2JZ. Would you want to do that to Ray
- 1:35:59Pistons? Yeah, I mean it's like the
- 1:36:03cost-effective / like guess the job done, route and result.
- 1:36:07Yeah. Rosario, you'll do the same and
- 1:36:09trephine but you know, I'm a nerd yet.
- 1:36:12Engine comes in the car, in Japan in Japan.
- 1:36:15Yeah, beams or the one G. Fe feel like the base One G is
- 1:36:21not. Is that a 600 buildup?
- 1:36:23It's like a, it's like a like an economy engine.
- 1:36:27But six. Yeah.
- 1:36:29I don't even know if this is it. I was like a four cylinder.
- 1:36:31I feel like before if they're putting forwards in over there,
- 1:36:34I don't know. But I guess like the sportier.
- 1:36:36So it's the beams, the beams? Yeah, but like you can't really
- 1:36:40do that because it only makes sense when you get you can but
- 1:36:43it's like yes I made a 180 bro. I wouldn't want.
- 1:36:46I would want that and it sounds great.
- 1:36:48It sounds really good and it's a six-speed.
- 1:36:50Read it is Jay 160 translate. Could you make that work with
- 1:36:54like a s are with 300 horsepower, you make those
- 1:36:57tandems work. I think so.
- 1:37:01I'd be curious. I want to be spend the beams in
- 1:37:05it. Yeah serious this is.
- 1:37:07And do you want me to do the same thing too but I agreed with
- 1:37:14me. You're technically downgrading?
- 1:37:17Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:37:18Whatever you're losing. That torque it does.
- 1:37:20It is a pretty Torquay. No, I think the beams is a
- 1:37:23little torque here, really? I think I could be wrong but I
- 1:37:27think about punchier the punchiness of it is more there.
- 1:37:30It's more fun. Drive one, man.
- 1:37:31I want to drive one before I make my decision.
- 1:37:34I meant it. I didn't mean to me drive one.
- 1:37:36I didn't drive it. Are you selling?
- 1:37:38There was a, our friend Damon. Do you know, Damon?
- 1:37:41Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:37:41Of course. Yeah.
- 1:37:42Date Damon our friend and I'll tell as I drove it actually to.
- 1:37:46Yeah. How was that?
- 1:37:47It's, it's very comparable to the end a2j.
- 1:37:50Okay, you have to but lighter lighter.
- 1:37:54I hope the smaller engine. It's probably a fucking sound in
- 1:37:56claw. Crazy on that red line would be
- 1:37:59so high. Be like, Probably realize that
- 1:38:03like 10 grand for no reason. Yeah.
- 1:38:05I've always wanted a turbo Jay-Z though.
- 1:38:08Like like ya know it makes the sound.
- 1:38:10I hear me Yogi's car and ice luge every time it makes more
- 1:38:13sense so it sounds so good. I guess that's the route.
- 1:38:16You gotta go non vvt-i Pitter Bodines Motors.
- 1:38:19No, no. It's like a high compression
- 1:38:21engine. So it's just like, it's either
- 1:38:22like ITV or like then do like a full bottom and build on her
- 1:38:26bow. And that's kind of sick though.
- 1:38:29At that point, I would just try to Sick burn money.
- 1:38:33I mean, we are in the drift cars, okay?
- 1:38:37Whole I went down the other day, so my roommate who actually he's
- 1:38:40outside. He's dropping his car off here.
- 1:38:43He has an MR2 mr2s in Japan came with the 3s GTE.
- 1:38:48Hmm. The Bell, the block is the exact
- 1:38:51same and though it's mounted more at an angle.
- 1:38:56Somebody in Europe had like a build thread on.
- 1:38:59I think it was. My is just a Form for oh I know
- 1:39:02my yeah I love my died. My dad.
- 1:39:04I asked and they put that engine in the car but the thing is, is
- 1:39:10the exhaust side would be on what is the usdm driver side and
- 1:39:15that exhaust setup like the turbo and the manifold the
- 1:39:18steering column goes right through all of that.
- 1:39:20And unfortunately it makes it a pain in the ass to do and that's
- 1:39:23the same reason why the beams engine isn't a common swap in
- 1:39:26is, has that collector of the header is right there?
- 1:39:30Oh yeah, yeah. So then I looked up.
- 1:39:32They have a conversion header made for eight-six's.
- 1:39:34Yeah, that's about 17 hundred dollars.
- 1:39:36Okay. So you're going to get a 1.
- 1:39:38J. I would like to get a 1j
- 1:39:40eventually and look it's only thirty seven hundred dollars.
- 1:39:43I'm gonna pass thirty-seven hundred dollars on it to any to
- 1:39:46J and you're making 600 horsepower.
- 1:39:49Yeah, it's exactly like okay. Well then you can spend like
- 1:39:522,500 and be like on a moderate. Yeah.
- 1:39:55And also see turbojets. Yeah tuned, whatever.
- 1:39:59Let's find then. I mean it's not that The ideal
- 1:40:01engine out, I would want to beams.
- 1:40:03So, if you're, if you're put, if you're already swapping it
- 1:40:05engine that doesn't belong in the car.
- 1:40:07Then you might as well just turbo.
- 1:40:08The 1j actually drops into the is but like in my head I'm like
- 1:40:13this guy. Sounds like the stock.
- 1:40:14Yes, it's a big engine for the space like you ever look the
- 1:40:17same size. 2 J though. The beams.
- 1:40:20No, no. The other you saying 1j?
- 1:40:23Well, yeah. No.
- 1:40:24But I mean that the to J in general is like a big engine for
- 1:40:26that bay. Oh yeah.
- 1:40:27Right up against the fans are right there, like, yeah.
- 1:40:30Literally rat support to firewall.
- 1:40:32Every time I take every time I took the engine out, I would
- 1:40:35just take the front end off and just slide the whole engine.
- 1:40:37Yeah, makes me feel like an hour now.
- 1:40:39Okay. So those are your future plans
- 1:40:42both of you. Okay.
- 1:40:43I guess. Yeah.
- 1:40:44Who's going to blow their car in a package deal?
- 1:40:46Doing both the same time to chill.
- 1:40:48Frankie doesn't even want to touch the socket.
- 1:40:51Never know if you got to write that check you can bring it in
- 1:40:53here but I know how you be. Yo put these used tires on my
- 1:40:56car. Yes thing.
- 1:40:58Because you'd be doing the same shit sometimes I think You hired
- 1:41:04a brand new set of always in the back of my car.
- 1:41:06Okay, good. I bought some tires from you,
- 1:41:09Frankie. Okay, yeah, yeah.
- 1:41:12All right. Fair enough.
- 1:41:12Everyone's everyone's done what you said, but we're trying to
- 1:41:15level up. Yeah.
- 1:41:16But if you get used tires again, it's not like the worst thing.
- 1:41:24Somebody out there can relate to me.
- 1:41:26Oh yeah. That's different.
- 1:41:27But like you're leveling leveling up like it's Ryan.
- 1:41:30Well, because in order for Right.
- 1:41:31Like, you know you have experience that level of
- 1:41:34driving. Unfortunately, I have not that's
- 1:41:36something that I want to attain and your meteor there.
- 1:41:39Carl. No.
- 1:41:40But I want to, there's that next level you know, where we're tan
- 1:41:42to me, and then I feel more confident.
- 1:41:44Just being like, you know what? I'm going to pitch it in here
- 1:41:47because you're going to be over there.
- 1:41:48Yeah. Because your tires are new and
- 1:41:50because I can rely on my tires because they're consistent, you
- 1:41:53don't know if they're just going to be beat after or some shit.
- 1:41:58All right, we got to kind of wrap this one up.
- 1:41:59I don't know what plans you have for tonight.
- 1:42:00And I feel like we just like attacked.
- 1:42:03Yeah, put them in here. Just grab all the street, sit
- 1:42:06down. You can't leave and he literally
- 1:42:07got off a plane. Yeah, so came here so but this
- 1:42:10is a pretty well how far we won 45 hour and 45.
- 1:42:14Okay, it's less than I thought. We were over two hours.
- 1:42:16I was like goddamn almost I can't believe it in an hour 45,
- 1:42:20right? We talked about a lot though.
- 1:42:23You covered a lot of a large. I wanted to ask you something so
- 1:42:26badly and I forget, but I just wanted to make sure that we
- 1:42:28covered the drift team and everything because I know of If
- 1:42:31it was just me and you we be talking, we still be talking
- 1:42:33about filming and stuff because yeah, they like I'm just here
- 1:42:35for a lesson learned something. Yeah, but I have a random
- 1:42:41question for you. What is the weirdest request you
- 1:42:43got four? Are picture.
- 1:42:46Carter weirdest request, I guess.
- 1:42:51Most obvious specifically weird was I gotta go like the fact
- 1:42:57that they're the director was like I need a green 60s camper
- 1:43:02van with shag Carpeting. And the fact that I found
- 1:43:07exactly like it took me a couple days of of, that's crazy that so
- 1:43:13you're just searching I was going to say, I don't know if we
- 1:43:15if you want to get into that, but I can you give us a rundown
- 1:43:17of how the fuck you would ever find that.
- 1:43:19Like are you want us to G? Just all the time.
- 1:43:21I mean, the thing is that like Instagram can only do so much
- 1:43:24when These cars are sometimes owned by like older tired.
- 1:43:28Yeah like people that are not flexing their car collection on
- 1:43:31IG. Yeah.
- 1:43:32That's like true. It's a it's a combination of a
- 1:43:36lot of things. At this point we have very very
- 1:43:38vast network of collectors that work with this and vendors and
- 1:43:44it sometimes it's reaching out to them.
- 1:43:46And sometimes it's trying to figure out like their Facebook
- 1:43:51groups that they may be talking and find them.
- 1:43:55Or it's a, it's a, it's literally just like, get the
- 1:43:58task and then be like, all right, what like resources do I
- 1:44:03have. That'll find me that you're
- 1:44:05using your your connections. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 1:44:08Infiltrate the fucking Facebook groups.
- 1:44:09The Wranglers here, baby? Yeah, literally.
- 1:44:11Infiltrating the, the funniest like, fucking Facebook group,
- 1:44:15all the old heads, I'm like, I'm part of, like, Facebook group
- 1:44:19for like her Stoners and like, 99 Woodstock group, Unwanted
- 1:44:26survivors like Mad Max style cars.
- 1:44:29Like just apocalypse Vehicles like the dumbest shit.
- 1:44:32That's right. Yeah.
- 1:44:33Infiltrated all all the groups in the world.
- 1:44:36Well if you ever need a wrangling another is 300 you
- 1:44:38know we're fine but yeah no it's just a it's just a fact a matter
- 1:44:46of just like looking for even if you don't have the resources.
- 1:44:49Like now you have to like make it.
- 1:44:50I had to like yeah now you find start cold.
- 1:44:52Calling people like the other day I had a had This one request
- 1:44:56that like in 24 hours I have made over 100 phone calls to
- 1:45:02make this happen cuz we got to get 10 of the same car and it
- 1:45:06was it was quite a task 10 of the same car.
- 1:45:09Yeah. Oh you were telling me about
- 1:45:11this. That's fucking crazy.
- 1:45:12Yeah. So we a lot of talk about the
- 1:45:14car now. No, not right now.
- 1:45:16This is still in like an NDA, but follow Sebastian.
- 1:45:19Make sure you follow me going to see that.
- 1:45:20Shit. Crazy shit, dude, just your
- 1:45:23being resourceful with. I told you Stan.
- 1:45:25Yeah. It's just trying to, like,
- 1:45:27working with what you got exactly working with you guys.
- 1:45:29And just when you see this car, you're gonna be like oh this guy
- 1:45:32knows what he's doing because finding 10 of these is not gonna
- 1:45:34be fun. That sounds fucking.
- 1:45:36We need to talk about that after.
- 1:45:37Yeah, I'm like still recovering from that job.
- 1:45:41That, that was a very, very task.
- 1:45:42But it was it fun though still like, yeah, you know, I mean
- 1:45:45like everything that comes our way even if we like, it's almost
- 1:45:48exciting when we don't have a way of getting something because
- 1:45:51it's just, yeah, it's new. I gotta open new doors.
- 1:45:53Yeah, always leads to Meeting new people and that's good for
- 1:45:56the future. Exactly.
- 1:45:58Like yeah, at this point every job leads to meeting more
- 1:46:02people. In kind of you can kind of
- 1:46:04compare that to the automotive world where you like you got a
- 1:46:06car. You can't figure it out.
- 1:46:08I probably can't figure it out and then you figure it out and
- 1:46:10something that you never saw before and you're like and now
- 1:46:12you just know you have that in your back pocket.
- 1:46:13Yeah I like all right well now I'm going to check that when
- 1:46:16this specific car comes in as this problem but boy, does this
- 1:46:20suck while it's happening. Oh my God, that brings me back
- 1:46:24to that. Saying what?
- 1:46:25Chris getting mad and stuff. When you can't figure something
- 1:46:27out on a car. Oh my God.
- 1:46:30It's Musa. It suppose, the reason why I'm
- 1:46:33always so glad I could bring my car here.
- 1:46:35Oh yeah, thanks. But like, it's crazy because
- 1:46:38this is a resource that like really doesn't exist in many
- 1:46:41places in the country. Yeah, which is.
- 1:46:44Yeah, I've heard that from other people to, like, what's-his-face
- 1:46:46Mike from Chicago area? He's like, you guys got a cool
- 1:46:50trick shot, man. That's really like he just likes
- 1:46:52that. It's a thrift shop and I'm like,
- 1:46:53yeah. Technically it is, I guess, At
- 1:46:55your shop but we do work on other stuff.
- 1:46:57Yeah, yeah that's good. It's your specialty.
- 1:46:59And it's just like most people that drift everywhere else and
- 1:47:02the country they don't have like a place that they can rely on
- 1:47:05like that. Yeah, which is deaf.
- 1:47:07Yeah, I mean it's definitely helpful but then part of me is
- 1:47:09like, you should be working on your own cars, anyway, but I
- 1:47:12fucking hate you so much. Like, that's, that's a friend in
- 1:47:16me and I live across the country.
- 1:47:17Yeah, you have a good excuse. That's the friend in me.
- 1:47:19Telling someone likes it. I want you to work on it
- 1:47:22yourself. Yeah, business owner.
- 1:47:23Me is like no, bring me everything.
- 1:47:24Yeah. I don't know what you're doing.
- 1:47:26Just bring the car here. Why I view it as like, I want
- 1:47:29you to work on my car because I like the way that you work and
- 1:47:31that's no, that's good. And I appreciate that.
- 1:47:33But what I'm, what I'm really saying is, I want you to be able
- 1:47:35to know how to work on your car. That's what I mean.
- 1:47:39Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:47:39That way when it breaks the track, you're like, oh I know
- 1:47:42what to do? Yeah.
- 1:47:43Yeah, my ball joint just popped out.
- 1:47:44Yeah, I just gotta sorry, I asked you to do it back.
- 1:47:49Do those videos? Oh my God, it's my worst fear
- 1:47:52dude. It tell me you hit a bad pothole
- 1:47:54sometimes and you're like A nice change.
- 1:47:57My lower ball joints once a year, me too.
- 1:47:59I just did. My tell me about that.
- 1:48:00I just did mine. I'm just after seeing that video
- 1:48:02where the wheel comes off in the mirror and they hit the ganador
- 1:48:05and again oh my God. That's so that's the way that
- 1:48:08the red car. Yeah.
- 1:48:11Did you see that video Malcolm? I saw a screenshot of it.
- 1:48:13He's just drifting. Is it?
- 1:48:15It just looks like the car explodes.
- 1:48:16Yeah, the wheels bouncing and Fender to Fender gets totaled in
- 1:48:19the wheel. Comes out and hits the mirror.
- 1:48:21Ganador goes flying, I'm like so scared.
- 1:48:23That was a four thousand dollar accident.
- 1:48:25I've never experienced that and that's because I service might
- 1:48:29remember that when I was such a big effect Motorsports, whenever
- 1:48:32I switch to the angle kit, a few weeks before that, I was
- 1:48:35standing with my friend and I like bumped his door and the
- 1:48:39wheel moved a little bit and I was like, oh, what actually is
- 1:48:42happening? Why is that a problem?
- 1:48:44It's all the suspension is resting on.
- 1:48:46Yeah. It's like a Toyota engineering
- 1:48:48flaw. They also they also didn't think
- 1:48:51that people Sequoia had the same problem.
- 1:48:52Yeah, that's a ironically enough.
- 1:48:54I own Two of the vehicles, the same fucking time.
- 1:48:58You just you just there's no such thing as bad luck.
- 1:49:00There's no such thing, as bad luck they're just playing with
- 1:49:02your luck enough, bad decisions. But there are there's there's
- 1:49:08they did like they did a um a revision of the of the design,
- 1:49:13right? They put like a little cup
- 1:49:15around a little guard apparently made it better.
- 1:49:17So as all Toyota stuff like double Wishbone in the front I
- 1:49:20guess for the most part. Yeah.
- 1:49:21Miyagi's car is a exception. I think.
- 1:49:23No, no, it's Well, it's running a you're right.
- 1:49:26It is an exception because you guys did know.
- 1:49:29We know we use the. It's McClure to.
- 1:49:32Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:49:33It's it has its kind of like a 240.
- 1:49:35Honestly, the front end of that car, the only difference is the
- 1:49:38knuckle has the same setup as yours and that's what I don't
- 1:49:42understand because you have a camber plate on the top of that,
- 1:49:44right? Yeah.
- 1:49:45You can convert all that to s13 relatively easily.
- 1:49:49I just didn't do it. Don't, it's card.
- 1:49:51Yeah. He's you could I'm gonna have to
- 1:49:52take a look at that just because like Justin did.
- 1:49:54And he had the Cressida. It was all s13 suspension.
- 1:49:57The front, the control arm literally and s13 control arm
- 1:50:01bolts into the subframe on that car. 99% sure.
- 1:50:06And then the tension rod, you got a drill like two holes in it
- 1:50:10and it'll bolt into there so like you can use almost the same
- 1:50:14thing. Let's hear those talking.
- 1:50:15Yeah. Wait a minute here.
- 1:50:17I didn't know any of this very close.
- 1:50:19Yeah here. Yeah.
- 1:50:20And to be honest, you can even put a Tsar in that and in that
- 1:50:23I've seen that are pretty easily.
- 1:50:24I wanted to put in us are in the is everything that old blue one
- 1:50:30from Japan that like an Elixir kit, that had an Sr in it.
- 1:50:33That wasn't a sarkar. Yeah, I seen the blue one with
- 1:50:37the Elixir kit that it's almost yet Elixir demo car every time
- 1:50:40you type in a lick. Yeah, an Sr car.
- 1:50:42Yeah, we should have made Miyagi.
- 1:50:43Goodness are fuck you. Well do an Sr in my car would
- 1:50:46never do it but I'd want to. I'd love to do that.
- 1:50:49He hates in these are more than anyone.
- 1:50:50I know really I don't know why he's like, I will never Ever.
- 1:50:55Oh Nana's chassis. I was like, okay, so you and
- 1:50:58that's why you suck it dripping just kidding, 87 back so much
- 1:51:03that our state sent him sort of act like eight years.
- 1:51:07I'm gonna look into getting a car for that.
- 1:51:09Now he's kind of getting it but he has a driftable car.
- 1:51:12Yeah, but net but now he's got like the RX8 habit so he's going
- 1:51:15into every turn at like 90 miles an hour passenger seat like
- 1:51:19dude, stop slow down. Do you know where the brake
- 1:51:22pedal is? He's like you have to use that
- 1:51:23I'm like yeah, dude. Dude, if you're going to be
- 1:51:25launching this thing into another dimension you got to use
- 1:51:27the brake pedal, I had the opposite problem.
- 1:51:29When I started out I feel like I was just going up to the corner
- 1:51:32and I'd be like and you just kick it?
- 1:51:34Yeah, yeah, yeah no me all. He's got no fear and it's bad.
- 1:51:38Like I'm scared when I'm in that thing dude.
- 1:51:41But this game does Otto real dream have intentions of
- 1:51:45driving. Final bout at Wisconsin ideas,
- 1:51:48are you going to try to get it? We did driving.
- 1:51:51We drove his car. Yeah.
- 1:51:53Yeah. That's it was I know.
- 1:51:57I mean like you're next year. Yeah.
- 1:52:00I mean, if everything permits, we definitely just want to spend
- 1:52:04the offseason dialing, the cars in is like they're our next big
- 1:52:08thing and then seeing like, what we can do, well, yeah, you got
- 1:52:13some things to overcome because now, you all got to drive again
- 1:52:15together, different cars. Yeah.
- 1:52:18I think we're about to do a couple of events while.
- 1:52:20Oh, yeah, my car still. I Nee.
- 1:52:22So like You'll be fine. I mean, yeah, a little upset
- 1:52:26about it, huh. You seem a little upset of, I
- 1:52:29really wish I could. I could have just like taking
- 1:52:31the time to assess my whole engine situation, this year,
- 1:52:34since I had the car sat for so long.
- 1:52:36But I just had. Yeah.
- 1:52:38But there's stuff going on. Now you got winter, which is
- 1:52:40better? Yeah.
- 1:52:41You look good driving. Like when you see that your car
- 1:52:44moving around? I feel like you wouldn't.
- 1:52:47Well, not well, you're gonna this weekend is going to be.
- 1:52:50Yeah. All right.
- 1:52:50He's a fun layout now they? Yeah.
- 1:52:53But the tool. W.
- 1:52:54So now it's like a like a fun big entry.
- 1:52:57Yeah. A lot of switch bags and then
- 1:52:59this is still have like the section that like you cross the
- 1:53:02other a lot. No, it's a hope and this isn't
- 1:53:06don't take this with a grain of salt, but like I'm pretty sure
- 1:53:09they split the lat. They got rid of that little
- 1:53:12alley in the middle, a lot of people Vanishing on them.
- 1:53:14I almost hit that like the first time I went through it.
- 1:53:17I was like going and that's 13. And then, I guess, I
- 1:53:20transitioned to early and I was like, oh, and then that the The
- 1:53:24curb is literally like a foot-and-a-half god.
- 1:53:26Yeah. But if you don't the thread
- 1:53:29that. Yeah.
- 1:53:30Now you it's like a only that second side and it, you just go
- 1:53:34straight down into the wall and big entry and then you do the
- 1:53:39rest of it. Nice.
- 1:53:40So I think you guys will have fun actually, like I said like
- 1:53:42we said earlier, Daryl's going to be there.
- 1:53:43So I am interested to see, I'm going to be following this event
- 1:53:46because I want to see. I want to see.
- 1:53:47Just guys, with we can just go that's that's wild and go on
- 1:53:50touch, that's wild but says it Who is advocating for
- 1:53:55spontaneous adventure? We could just go, dude.
- 1:53:59Where is it? Coconut coconut oil.
- 1:54:01Or Frankie's way, whether you help me out on Friday, we put my
- 1:54:05car together, and then we drive, I wouldn't be opposed to driving
- 1:54:09that event, Jesse. I'll just steal miyagi's
- 1:54:12president sounds about, right? I mean, it.
- 1:54:16Oh, you know what? That'd be sick because I would
- 1:54:18love to see you drive the Cressida with Diego's jzx.
- 1:54:22Miyagi, are you in the chat? Yes, his ears are ringing.
- 1:54:26He's like why do I feel like my car is in danger right now.
- 1:54:29He would probably tell me to take it but I don't know.
- 1:54:33I can't people still think that you sound like a great idea.
- 1:54:36I don't like taking his car because I'm like I mean the last
- 1:54:40event. I was fucking entering at the
- 1:54:43gray area and I was like, okay, this isn't this isn't my car.
- 1:54:46Sounds like a you problem. I know but I can't control.
- 1:54:50I can't get in there and just feel like I'm just gonna baby
- 1:54:52it. Like, I don't know how someone
- 1:54:54could do that in a drift car like we're just gonna baby it.
- 1:54:56Yeah, it's involuntary reminds me of like when you, when you're
- 1:55:00about to go out for the first lap, so we're going to take it,
- 1:55:02take it easy on these disciplines and then you're just
- 1:55:04like, yeah, each other's shag. We've had this problem.
- 1:55:07I don't know if we had it on air, but that's always out as
- 1:55:09like yeah, I was my first bout. I just changed all this.
- 1:55:11So be careful and yeah. And then within the first turn
- 1:55:15your on the door. Push it.
- 1:55:17Yeah. Happy time.
- 1:55:20No fear moves for me like I think the guys name was Reese
- 1:55:24Reese. Marin no at E-Town.
- 1:55:27Yeah, it was real smart. Yeah, at handling grid.
- 1:55:30Yes, probably. I didn't know this this whole
- 1:55:32time. I was just saying he's there,
- 1:55:33he's there he's giving me advice.
- 1:55:35I was like, yeah, I'm gonna take a site lap.
- 1:55:37I bought go up to the first corner, I'm like, fuck the site
- 1:55:39lat. Well, you can slowly drift
- 1:55:44around it and still get the idea of where the tie.
- 1:55:47I had a gist of what the truck I feel like.
- 1:55:48Yeah. If you have the rhythm of the
- 1:55:50track like you're gonna just follow it.
- 1:55:53Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:55:54The flow as long. I mean that that's a parking
- 1:55:56lot. So, I can see everything if
- 1:55:58you're doing like elevation changes and shit like that, like
- 1:56:00no, I need to drive through that.
- 1:56:02For example, USAir USAir or E-Town.
- 1:56:07Full course. Last turn on back course over
- 1:56:11the hill. Oh yeah.
- 1:56:12I did that like earlier this year.
- 1:56:15Yeah. First time.
- 1:56:16That's one of the spots are you like, um, I hope I'm gonna be on
- 1:56:19the track. Well, yeah, when you when you
- 1:56:20when you go over you're just like where am I going to end up?
- 1:56:24Yeah, and it's throws you off a little bit.
- 1:56:26Has your mentally? You're like every time I was
- 1:56:28like, I end up somewhere different.
- 1:56:29Yeah, that is so heavy. You going to stay on the ground.
- 1:56:32I remember, I got into Mike young, Dave's brother his Z and
- 1:56:36he's like, yeah, go drive it. I'm like, okay, I'm driving her.
- 1:56:38I get to that turn and I'm like doing it.
- 1:56:40And I'm like, first of all, my damn, the stock z is sick at all
- 1:56:44around this corner like I'm going all the way up the hill,
- 1:56:46I'm about to transition. And then I'm like I don't know
- 1:56:49where the track is like I don't remember I'm like I know it's a
- 1:56:53left turn but I don't know where it is and I'm just getting to
- 1:56:55the top and I'm like, I love letter.
- 1:56:57Because I'm like this is not my car.
- 1:56:58Yeah, but yeah, let's go. Let's go to the questions before
- 1:57:01we get out of here because I know I have a couple in here.
- 1:57:05Speed round. These I can't do.
- 1:57:07Yeah I want to I can't wait. I want to join answer so badly
- 1:57:09so I have like no one will make it happen.
- 1:57:12Yeah, to gzg. He's just are going to be
- 1:57:14buzzing. It has this.
- 1:57:16It has a sound you experience this as well.
- 1:57:18When it that she goes high in a revs.
- 1:57:19It just it doesn't get any different than sound.
- 1:57:23It's just say louder because it's a straight-6, the vale.
- 1:57:27Straight sixes are so smooth man.
- 1:57:30It's crazy. The way they sound is weird.
- 1:57:33Like I'm when I drove R34 GTR and I'm I was higher in the art.
- 1:57:38I couldn't even really realize I was high in the RPMs. I'd be
- 1:57:41like I look down and be like oh fuck it's like 4,000.
- 1:57:44It feels like it's loading with Mike's a 32.
- 1:57:47GTR was driving at the other day.
- 1:57:49Yeah it's like that are B-26 is the whole range.
- 1:57:52Smooth Connor. Croak asks, did he drink enough
- 1:57:55water today? Lefty so to it, he's 10.
- 1:58:00Okay, airport water, that's just probably eight dollars.
- 1:58:04I definitely spent $20 on water today.
- 1:58:07Oh no, the sake of hydration, I'd never know.
- 1:58:11Connor. I never know how to say this.
- 1:58:13Dude's name and he designed stuff for us, so I'm apologize.
- 1:58:17You could probably read it. Oh, it's like the CV.
- 1:58:19Yeah. Just say, say the letters or is
- 1:58:25that a, you can read it? I'm telling you watching sub
- 1:58:27Scott. This it might he might be saying
- 1:58:30cult, right? I think it was cold too.
- 1:58:32Yeah, Cool. J.
- 1:58:33Something cult jst. See he asks do you sometimes
- 1:58:39miss the white stage of the Lexus?
- 1:58:41Yeah. Me and Diego or just and like
- 1:58:43the rest of the real dream chat were just talking about this
- 1:58:45dude, I had a picture of it saved, someone sent sent a photo
- 1:58:49of it in the chat and there were like, damn That is when your car
- 1:58:51like the best. I missed a silver stage, but
- 1:58:54that was the other car, right? Yeah.
- 1:58:55Silver looks look good. I missed the white a lot and
- 1:58:58photos, but when I remember, when I had it, I just hated
- 1:59:01seeing all the cracks because half the cars fiberglass.
- 1:59:06Yeah. So yeah.
- 1:59:07See and you had like Shannon was it like pink vinyl on there too
- 1:59:11and one point. Yeah.

- 1:59:17I appreciate that. Still fact, I love that she's
- 1:59:19still on there. Damn in.

- 1:59:29Don't mean you have a photo at this stage down at H2O?
- 1:59:33Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:59:34We're doing like a burnout or something.

- 1:59:38silver. Dude, it was when the that is
- 1:59:42exactly. Heroin, I had to everyone.
- 1:59:46I could I want my car and I'm like a really long time ago, it

- 2:00:00look like that. Dude is that's like a six-time.
- 2:00:01I said it just now. So good.
- 2:00:04The good thing is that the examples there so you can just
- 2:00:08follow it like that. That's that's like the the style
- 2:00:13that I like, it's like a street car.
- 2:00:16Yeah. I don't like a full-on.
- 2:00:18I never wanted the car to look like an all-out track.
- 2:00:21Our I did, I do want a, I don't know if you've seen AJ's Wing.
- 2:00:26Yeah, I would do want something similar when I was a little bit,
- 2:00:29like, an Ode To The Sea. West one.
- 2:00:32Yeah, I've been looking at like neat Wing options because when I
- 2:00:36do the refresh, I want to do something, but I don't want to
- 2:00:39do like a, like a Aluminum drag Wing or something.
- 2:00:42Yeah. Like it's there's not a lot of
- 2:00:45the TRD Wing is an option. There's not a lot of really
- 2:00:47options for that car which is weird.
- 2:00:49I could give us the West Wing I would.
- 2:00:50Yeah, I slept only one good looks the final one.
- 2:00:54Yeah, hmm. Well, seems like I can't find
- 2:00:58this photo. I know Miyagi just sent me a
- 2:01:00photo because his ark site was in it, too.
- 2:01:01Yeah, yeah. We all decided I remember his
- 2:01:04car was like, crab walking out of the out of the burnout.
- 2:01:07Yeah. Out of the burnout pit.
- 2:01:10But as I have another photo of me, you and koziol at the shop.
- 2:01:17This is one of those folks. This is like Peak covid.
- 2:01:20Yeah. But I remember there were some
- 2:01:23things going on. There is there some video ideas?
- 2:01:25Why are they? Yeah, I don't remember who I
- 2:01:29meant. We're working on your car
- 2:01:30obviously. Yeah cars are.
- 2:01:31But yeah Frankie's cocking his hips.
- 2:01:35Look at me next to the trash bag.
- 2:01:37That's the best part with a bag of goo.
- 2:01:41Alright. Umm, what else is here?
- 2:01:44So, the white stage is dearly missed and I don't think I'll
- 2:01:48ever go back to it. Looks so aggressive right now.
- 2:01:53I would love it is right now. I don't know that silver was
- 2:01:56pretty good. Anyway, world's best filmer asks
- 2:02:02that's pretty cocky, but ask him if he has a favorite is build
- 2:02:08any period. I don't know if he's talking
- 2:02:11about your car or any. I want to know if you have any
- 2:02:14generally, like your favorite is Bill that was ever done in the
- 2:02:19It's tough to think of a favorite one.
- 2:02:22I will say like the one that most made me lean towards that
- 2:02:27chassis and the first place. And I think for a lot of people
- 2:02:31who would drift as is right now in the u.s.a. j0.
- 2:02:36Chicago. Yeah.
- 2:02:37Yeah, that risky. Double risky.
- 2:02:39Definitely the right car. Yeah, yeah, that is what got me
- 2:02:42that pretty clean car, right? Yeah, it's I mean, this current,
- 2:02:46the current stage at Sanders really clean.
- 2:02:47It definitely had rougher stages But it was always like a full
- 2:02:51streetcar. He always drove the piss out of
- 2:02:53it. He even teens.
- 2:02:55Yeah, 17 1907 teens now. Yeah, but he at one point, he
- 2:02:58had like gangster ass like 19 as fuck.
- 2:03:01But uh yeah. He drove na-2 j4 fucking like 68
- 2:03:07years something ridiculous like that like he's 1j now but that
- 2:03:12was always, you know, it's full interior like foot like their
- 2:03:16style, always He drove really well.
- 2:03:20So yeah, tough to think of my favorite one.
- 2:03:24This is there. So many cool is is but I think
- 2:03:26he was like the example that I wanted.
- 2:03:28That was like, that's what I want.
- 2:03:30I mean here, of course, I feel like everything he does is
- 2:03:32pretty good. I've seen other cars that he
- 2:03:33owned. Hmm.
- 2:03:34I think I saw. There's one recently that I
- 2:03:37think I sent it to you, but his name on Instagram.
- 2:03:39I don't know this guy personally but his name on Instagram is
- 2:03:42Skinny. D is thing.

- 2:05:05It's really nothing. I don't feel like you guys are
- 2:05:08rude. I'll be, I'll be like this.
- 2:05:09Yeah, so completely the other way now.
- 2:05:13Yeah, I just sent you the photo. You have to do that.
- 2:05:14What you're trying to do these because I'm trying to make sure
- 2:05:16everyone's getting these photos damn the scars.
- 2:05:18Yeah, and it's fast. It's like 500 to the wheels like
- 2:05:24maybe I've seen this before Malcolm's putting it up on the
- 2:05:28screen right now for everyone. Oh yeah.
- 2:05:30I seen this car before. I mean this is that's what I
- 2:05:36would do. Yeah.
- 2:05:37It's like, it's so far great car.
- 2:05:39Yeah. Yeah.
- 2:05:40It seems almost action gray. Yeah.
- 2:05:43Like same type of vinyl. I would probably do.
- 2:05:45It's got white Wheels. Eautiful.
- 2:05:47Look at that thing. Yeah, man.
- 2:05:49If you're listening and what's his name?
- 2:05:51I love your car. Daniel Skinny.
- 2:05:53D, Skinny D, check them out. Power FC, of course, power FC.
- 2:05:57Which I heard there. They got rid of them for one
- 2:06:00Jays. Yeah.
- 2:06:01They discontinued them. Something like that.
- 2:06:03Hate to see it. Yeah.
- 2:06:04The 1j in there. I think.
- 2:06:06And he's the reason why I looked into that.
- 2:06:08Remember that one day I came in here Franky and I was like, yo,
- 2:06:11they make a power of C for the 1j that was because I saw it on
- 2:06:15his dashboard. Yeah, I mean I know Miyagi has
- 2:06:18one like we bought it brand new but I know 532 to the wedgies.
- 2:06:22Okay, that's a bat is a Judith on a mustang guy.
- 2:06:25Know. I would love something that car
- 2:06:28that is sick, but he's at that height.
- 2:06:31You see what I'm saying? Yeah, and that's great.
- 2:06:34Our than me whale oil, O'er and and Frankie hates seeing my car.
- 2:06:38There's no sighs girl there or there is no, that's okay.
- 2:06:41I almost had a heart attack. I almost had to take back
- 2:06:44everything, I said no. But now I'm saying my car is at
- 2:06:48that height and Frankie thinks it looks kind of awkward.
- 2:06:50And I feel like with arrow would look good on down.
- 2:06:53Carl would look great. You're right, we're Arrow.
- 2:06:56It would look at me. You do need a body kit.
- 2:06:58Yeah. Thank you.
- 2:06:59You're welcome. Okay, on that note, I have no
- 2:07:01more questions for you Seb. You've answered everything.
- 2:07:03Well, actually, I have a closing question for you.
- 2:07:06Who wants nine times? Ten like some sort of math
- 2:07:10problem, that no use that PEMDAS.
- 2:07:12All right, here goes, Carl loves my final questions.
- 2:07:15Oh yeah. They aren't they see if we'll
- 2:07:16see. If this one works for him, what
- 2:07:18keeps the fire burning inside of you?
- 2:07:20What keeps inspiring you to wake up in the morning and create
- 2:07:23art? Hmm.
- 2:07:24Yet another good one? Frankie as a very good question.
- 2:07:28There's no like single thing. I guess that does that for me.
- 2:07:35I guess everything is just a feeling and I just like how like
- 2:07:40how I feel when I direct my attention towards things that
- 2:07:47like I enjoy seeing in the world.
- 2:07:51So I just it's very fulfilling to wake up and like the
- 2:07:56decisions you make Put out in the world things that your
- 2:08:01visual language. I'm never been good with words
- 2:08:04but I'm very good at like knowing how I want things to
- 2:08:08look. Yeah.
- 2:08:09And being able to like even if it's often like do that.
- 2:08:14Yeah, even if it's just placing a vehicle in the background of
- 2:08:17something or, you know, directing a whole piece, it's
- 2:08:21like I got to put something out there and like, I don't even
- 2:08:27care to They post about any of this stuff for.
- 2:08:30Like, put it out there like anything.
- 2:08:33Like you. Like, how you said, you didn't
- 2:08:34know I drag stuff because it's just like, I do.
- 2:08:37I just cared like to that I know for myself that.
- 2:08:40Yeah, I'm doing things that I like, is it like it's just I
- 2:08:44think it's just a feeling. I thought I love how that feels.
- 2:08:46It feels very like purposeful. Now.
- 2:08:49Are you feeling that while you're doing it or you feeling
- 2:08:52that after you see the finished result a little bit of both?
- 2:08:55Like, in the moment I like, definitely, I always try to I
- 2:08:58wasn't at one point in my life, I wasn't like present and I was
- 2:09:02like only enjoying things in hindsight but I've found that to
- 2:09:07be very like I think I'm in that right now.
- 2:09:11Yeah, it's tough. It's tough.
- 2:09:13You really have to like be like critical on yourself in the
- 2:09:16moment and in the moment you have so many other things going
- 2:09:18on that are kind of like distracting and but it's kind of
- 2:09:22like about Lee breaking away. Yeah.
- 2:09:24For a second pausing breathing, like being Acknowledging.
- 2:09:29Yeah, even I acknowledged in that you're there.
- 2:09:31Yeah. And then and then keep it going.
- 2:09:34But most of the time. Yeah, I guess I got to fully
- 2:09:38appreciate things and clear 20/20 hindsight.
- 2:09:42For sure. Like, seeing something that
- 2:09:44you've done or something, like how it came out, like that's
- 2:09:46kind of what I'm thinking. Yeah.
- 2:09:48Yeah, because you got to, like, analyze, all the pieces that
- 2:09:50made it. Yeah, you know, since in the
- 2:09:52moment you're like, you're there and you're part of making it.
- 2:09:57Yeah. But I don't know.
- 2:10:00I've learned to that. The journey is way way cooler
- 2:10:04than the destination. Yeah, it's just like, I that's
- 2:10:06why when people are just like, what are your goals and how, how
- 2:10:09fast you trying to get there? I like God, I honestly Ivy to
- 2:10:12go. I'd be fine with like, reaching
- 2:10:14my goals at the mouth, like the last day of my life because
- 2:10:17like, the journey has been so fucking fun that like I wanted
- 2:10:21to stay in the journey forever. I feel that guy like you're ever
- 2:10:24really. An end a goal like a destination
- 2:10:26is like because once you get It's just going to keep going
- 2:10:29like this. It's not you're not gonna really
- 2:10:31ever reach it. Yeah.
- 2:10:32I mean it's like going to get bigger and bigger more, don't
- 2:10:35know. The way I look at it it's just
- 2:10:36like like if this was all I could track.
- 2:10:40It's just like the fun part is like when you're in it and you
- 2:10:43got like your divot, there's a Finish Line.
- 2:10:45Yeah. Really want to get there and if
- 2:10:46you do get to the Finish Line it's like fucking like will get
- 2:10:49back and yeah that's that's retirement that's like oh we
- 2:10:52made it it's like but your 70s Florida that's this do.
- 2:10:58That's Florida, and a beach. And that's it.
- 2:11:00That's the rest of your life. But yeah.
- 2:11:01Now I know what you mean. You gotta enjoy the ride, like I
- 2:11:03say. Enjoy the Ride.
- 2:11:04Yeah, forever. That's pretty much how I view
- 2:11:07it. Like the best way to put it.
- 2:11:09I don't have any on me. Personally, I don't even have a
- 2:11:11Finish Line. I feel like I'm just like, going
- 2:11:13through the motions and I'm like, okay cool.
- 2:11:15Things are happening, that's good.
- 2:11:17And you just have new ideas and just like this podcast and now
- 2:11:20we're doing this and we're like, oh, this is fun.
- 2:11:22Yeah, it connects honestly this I didn't think that it would be
- 2:11:27here, be quiet. Is Carl's idea and he every
- 2:11:30week. He's like, you bought Mike.
- 2:11:31You bought new stands, you bought the.

- 2:11:35listening to this and I'm like, oh shit.
- 2:11:37Yeah, I was like, damn. I was I just I thought almost
- 2:11:41like when Plankton almost get the Krabby Patty.

- 2:17:44Sunday morning, and this is kind of on purpose.
- 2:17:46So we don't get a lot of people and we don't get a specific type
- 2:17:50of person that is going to do burnouts and donuts in the
- 2:17:53middle of our street. So let us know if you're
- 2:17:55interested, we'd probably just be, you know, playing YouTube
- 2:17:58video. Those are some music and I'll
- 2:18:00get some coffee and donuts and all that and just hang out and
- 2:18:03then we could go on a drive, something like that.
- 2:18:06We'll see, we'll see what everyone wants to do.
- 2:18:09Again. Thanks for listening to the
- 2:18:10podcast, please leave a review for us and share your favorite
- 2:18:13episode on Instagram. If you can that would help us a
- 2:18:15lot that way we can just, you know, spread the spread the idea
- 2:18:19of podcast and get people get new listeners listening to it,
- 2:18:22that would help us out. Just pick your favorite episode
- 2:18:26screenshot, it may be right, a little Something about it and
- 2:18:29share it on your story. That's probably the only way I
- 2:18:32can think about marketing. This thing I don't know how else
- 2:18:35we could do it other than leaving good reviews on it.
- 2:18:38And one last thing I want to, I want to thank Malcolm Carl and
- 2:18:42Chris for staying here, after hours every week.
- 2:18:44So that's definitely not something they have to do.
- 2:18:47And I do appreciate them for it. Thanks guys.
- 2:18:51See you next time.
