#139 - Brian Hoplamazian: Formula Drift ProSpec Driver · After-Hours with Faction! Motorsports

0:00
Hello everybody, welcome back to another episode of the After
0:02
Hours podcast. On today's episode, we have my
0:05
good friend Brian Hop, local club Loose driver and a new 2025
0:11
Formula Drift Pro spec driver. So on today's episode we talked
0:15
a bunch about what he's doing to get ready and prepare for the
0:19
season. And we also spoke about how we
0:22
are supplying him with Origin Arrow.
0:25
He just recently picked up his body kit and his hood.
0:27
So we're trying to make sure this car is looking great and
0:31
pretty much doing everything we can for Brian and making sure
0:34
that this season is going to be a big one for him.
0:37
And as you guys will tell by listening to this, he's, he's
0:40
got high hopes and he's going into the season with a, with a
0:43
great attitude. Oh, also, don't forget we are
0:46
raffling off a set of XR1 Coilovers on our website.

1:05
So let's listen to a few words from our sponsors and then we'll
1:08
dive into this episode. This podcast is sponsored by
1:13
East Coast Drift School. East Coast Drift School is a
1:15
driving school focused on learning the art of drifting,
1:18
conveniently located at the greatest drifting facility in
1:21
the United States, Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ.
1:24
Raceway Park currently has three tracks, so you will have a few
1:27
options to choose from when setting up your lessons.
1:29
Chris Knapp, who is part of the Raceway Park family, will be
1:32
your teacher as he guides you through car setup and technique.
1:35
If you are more of a seasoned driver, E Coaster School is also
1:38
the place where you can get some extra seat time.
1:40
Chris allows private track time when no instructing as well so
1:43
that you can get some tests and tune runs in before that big
1:45
event or competition you have coming up.
1:47
Instead of spending the night dodging the police with your
1:49
boys, consider signing up with E Coaster School the next time
1:52
they release their schedule. Chris releases schedule on the
1:55
16th of every month through Instagram.

2:05
Chase Bays has been a household name in our industry for over 15
2:08
years, supplying us with tons of fluid power products such as
2:12
power steering cooler kits, oil catch cans, engine oil coolers,
2:16
hydraulic handbrake kits, and of course their dual piston brake
2:19
booster delete kits which fit a wide variety of vehicles.
2:23
The core values of Chase Bays is function, simplicity, quality
2:28
and aesthetic. All of their products are user
2:30
friendly and easy to install while of course looking the
2:33
part. The quality of their products
2:34
has only increased over the years and now with Front Street
2:37
Drift Club being a sponsored team of Chase Bays, you can
2:40
guarantee the products are stress tested as well.
2:43
I'm currently digging their compact intercooler sprayer
2:46
reservoir kit. This kit includes a pump and
2:48
pigtail to wire it up to any switch you want.
2:51
I've been a big fan of sleek looking OEM style intercooler
2:54
sprayers ever since Subaru had one on the STI and this kit
2:57
provides you with what you need to get started.
3:00
If you need any more info on any of their products, make sure to
3:03
take a look at their product descriptions.
3:05
They have some of the most detailed descriptions I've read
3:07
with tons of information. You can check out Chase Bay's
3:10
products and place your orders directly on our website at
3:12
factionmotorsports.com. And make sure to use the coupon
3:15
code Chase Bay's After Hours with no spaces to save on
3:19
checkout. This podcast is also sponsored
3:23
by Automotive Specialty Wraps. Automotive Specialty Wraps is a
3:26
company specializing in paint protection, film vehicle wraps,
3:29
ceramic coatings, and window tinting located in Fairlawn, New
3:32
Jersey. Owned and operated by car
3:34
enthusiasts and Drifters, their technicians have over 10 years
3:37
of experience in the industry. Ceramic coating is one of their
3:40
specialties and is the service they offer that caught my eye
3:43
first. In the 60s, NASA and the US
3:45
military formulated a ceramic coating to be used on spacecraft
3:49
and planes. This coating would be able to
3:52
protect them from harsh conditions.
3:54
Following that, in the early 2000s, ceramic coatings were
3:57
revamped to be used in the automotive industry.
4:01
These coatings give your cars paint extra protection while
4:04
also making it shine. Wax only last for a couple of
4:07
weeks at most, but ceramic coatings last for a year or
4:09
longer. They perform a full 2 stage
4:12
Polish to the car beforehand to make sure the vehicle is in
4:14
perfect condition before applying the coating.
4:17
This service can also be applied to wheels, which would be the
4:19
best thing you can do to a new set of wheels you just picked up
4:22
if you are looking to protect them for years to come.
4:24
As mentioned, they also offer window tinting and paint
4:27
protection film installations. Now everyone knows what window
4:30
tinting is, but these guys offer carbon or ceramic tinting
4:33
depending on your needs. Paint protection film or PPF is
4:37
a great idea for those new vehicle owners that want to
4:40
protect their paint before it gets chipped up driving down the
4:42
highway. I always suggest having at least
4:45
the front end done in PPF like the front bumper, fenders and
4:49
hood. ASW is now offering mobile
4:51
detailing and this is no basic car wash, it's more of a 2 hour
4:54
spa session for your car using special soaps designed to
4:58
extract toxins out of your paint.
5:00
And the best part is they will come to your house, job or even
5:03
our shop when your car is being serviced to get the wash done.
5:06
From protecting your tow rigs exterior to full delivery
5:09
installations on your drift car, they have you covered.
5:12
You can contact them at automotive specialtywraps.com
5:15
and make sure to mention our podcast.
5:17
They are currently offering 10% off mobile washes and tinting
5:20
services for our listeners. Limitless Auto Fab is a
5:23
fabrication shop and retailer located in Illinois.
5:26
They produce bash bars and catch cans for a bunch of popular
5:29
models in the drifting community.
5:31
We started selling their products earlier this year and
5:33
have heard nothing but great things since.
5:36
Limitless bash bars are honestly the industry standard right now.
5:39
Fabricated from inch and a half mild steel tubes, these bars are
5:42
designed to take the impact of light collisions in order to
5:44
avoid or minimize damage to your body or frame.
5:48
My favorite part about these bash bars is that they are
5:50
designed in a way that helps hold most aftermarket bumpers up
5:53
at the correct height, unlike a lot of other aftermarket bars
5:56
that require you to either Weld additional brackets on or
5:58
install those big foam rubber pieces to raise the bumpers up
6:02
to avoid bumper sag. This is a huge pet peeve of mine
6:06
when installing bash bars at the shop, so I'm really glad about
6:09
this feature. Don are the days of trying to
6:12
keep your rusty rear factory crash bar because you are
6:14
worried about bumper fitment issues with an aftermarket one.
6:17
Their bars also come with jacking points and optional
6:20
license plate brackets, so everything you need is right
6:23
there from the start. Limitless Auto also sells catch
6:26
cans for a handful of specific models.
6:28
These cans are built in house and chassis specific.
6:31
We have used these cans before in the shop with no issues and
6:34
they look great as well. The guys over at Limitless are
6:37
on social media as well at Limitless under score Auto under
6:40
score Fab. So please make sure to check out
6:43
their Instagram and give them a follow.
6:45
They post photos of all the drift cards using their products
6:48
from Front Street Drift Club to Animal Style.

8:11
Shut up. We've been.
8:12
Doing this for the past couple of weeks, Malcolm just presses
8:14
record and we're just here. Standard of ease into it.
8:17
Yeah, it's kind of fun. Welcome.
8:18
We're here to bring another episode tonight.
8:20
We have another guest. Not just any guest.
8:22
We have professional driver Brian Hop.
8:26
Yeah. Yeah.
8:28
I I said to AB earlier I was like, yo.
8:30
He's jacked up on calling me professional.
8:32
Gotta add the dude. Professional spec.
8:34
You got a, you got a, you got a season coming up.
8:38
Like, not even just like a oh, we got to get ready for opening
8:41
moves. Like, yeah, that's how it used
8:44
to be, but now? Has it hit you yet?
8:47
Like are you? Oh yeah, you're pretty.
8:49
Calm. Oh yeah.
8:52
I mean, after the first couple thousands of dollars were spent
8:56
towards this season, it was kind of hit me at or at that point.
8:59
Couple is probably an. Understander too, yeah.
9:01
Yeah. Yeah, all for a good reason.
9:05
Yeah, it's what I keep saying. We've been talking about you a
9:07
bunch on the last episodes. We're like is Hop is how is he
9:10
ready or? I know I heard Reese's like.
9:13
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah.
9:16
Yeah, Reese. It wasn't really like, yeah, I
9:18
remember Reese's. I was like, he's not.
9:20
It wasn't really that confident. Inspiring Reese's comments.
9:23
That's. Good though.
9:24
I loved Reese's but it's. Good I want it to be the real
9:26
answer, not like Oh yeah, he's gonna like do great, you know
9:29
problem like fully full of shit right now I.
9:31
Think everyone views you as how we know you, which is you like
9:34
to have fun, and hell yes, you have a very, like, free spirit
9:38
when it comes to drifting. So that's probably what they're
9:39
thinking. Yeah.
9:40
They're like, oh, I feel like shit's gonna hit, hit him hard.
9:43
But out of like the 20 years, give or take, I've been doing
9:47
it. I mean, it's only been three
9:48
years I've been doing competition drifting.
9:50
So it's like out of my element a bit still.
9:54
Or it sometimes feels like that when I show up to competitions
9:57
and I'm like, oh wait, like we got to have like a real plan
10:00
here, not just get through a few sessions and stuff.
10:03
But then that was like mostly the first year and then this
10:06
past year got a little easier and we'll see how year three of
10:10
competitive driving will go, but.
10:12
Yeah, I, I kind of forgot that you kind of already been doing
10:14
this for like 3 years or yeah, whatever.
10:16
I mean, the last time I was on here I hadn't even driven my car
10:20
yet the the Hatch. I.
10:22
Don't know it like was just being finished maybe I did 1 I
10:25
think. I drove it, but you, yeah, you
10:27
didn't really like, yeah, compete with it.
10:28
No, no. I.
10:29
Think you drove it and the wheel fell off?
10:31
No, that was this Geez, is. That what happened.
10:37
What happened was Grant was leading me and Ryan Turek and he
10:43
was in a slower car and he decides to do a backwards entry
10:46
to tree turn while me and Turek are like diving in.
10:49
That's good. And then I hit him, rubbed his
10:52
door to the point where my coil ever snapped in half wheel
10:54
stayed on coil ever, not so much.
10:58
And Turek got out of the car and he was like, what were you
11:00
thinking dude? I was like.
11:03
We have those same instances in video games, and the fact that
11:07
you just described that to us and it happened in real life is
11:12
pretty fucking nuts. Yeah, that was like the
11:13
beginning of 24 drift season right there.
11:17
You hear that Ethan stops spinning out in front of us
11:19
because it happens in real life. To grants credit, he wasn't
11:21
spinning out. He was doing some cool shit.
11:23
I just was like. Going too fast Going.
11:25
Yeah, I'm, I'm still, well at that point I was still getting
11:29
adjusted to the fact that like in all the cars before, I would
11:32
like transition or initiate behind someone and really be
11:37
floating or like maintaining speed in this car, it drives
11:40
forward like hard depending on how it's set up.
11:43
But that day it was set up to be like.
11:45
Kill mode. Yeah, side bite and forward bite
11:47
to the Max. So when you had the grassroots
11:50
car, were you all did? Were you changing setups around
11:53
like you are now or were you just in the cargo?
11:56
No, yeah, it was like you get your standard alignment and then
12:00
you'd set up your shocks to be like middle.
12:03
That was it. Like I was the king of like
12:05
everything in the middle and then couple clicks up or down
12:08
accordingly. And that was the gist of car
12:10
setup for me. And now it's gotten to the point
12:13
where it's above my own knowledge.
12:16
I have other people to like, help me actually properly set up
12:20
the car because I mean, I feel like I'm like Tom Cruise in that
12:25
movie where he's a NASCAR driver and he like doesn't do anything
12:27
but drive and even. What movie are we talking about
12:31
where he's at? NASCAR.
12:32
What do you mean never saw that movie?
12:33
Yeah, what is the movie called? Road of Thunder, Thunder.
12:36
Thunder something. Days of Thunder.
12:37
Days of Thunder. Yeah.
12:38
Cold trick. With Tom Cruise, you.
12:40
Need to see that movie, Carl. Can you Google?
12:42
The Edge not only is it's equally entertaining and cheesy
12:45
at the same. Just the just the cover of it.
12:46
I need just need that's. Like the NASCAR version of Fast
12:49
and Furious. I don't even.
12:50
I didn't even know that that existed.
12:51
You're pretty young. You're gonna love that movie.
12:53
I. I like a lot of old movies.
12:54
The old movie. You guys brought?
12:55
Holy, now that is a cover. Yeah, yeah.
12:59
Wow, that looks like a young Frankie Bovino.
13:03
Not really, but I'll give it to you.
13:04
Look at that mellow yellow racing suit.
13:07
That dude's got style. Oh my, there was another one in
13:09
there too. Yeah, that is a mellow yellow
13:12
racing. I thought you were talking about
13:14
the color, not the drink. Oh my gosh, you know I need to
13:18
watch this movie. You know what movie you guys
13:20
brought up the other day? What?
13:22
He didn't know about it, but I think Malcolm and you did the
13:25
Kung Fu. Like, yeah, dude.
13:28
I said you, you know Kung. Fu yeah, the second you said the
13:30
like, OK, bye, bye, now throw the baby.
13:33
I started sighing, laughing. Dude, we used to watch that
13:36
movie. I went to boarding school and we
13:37
watched that movie nonstop probably 1000 times.
13:40
Yeah, what? The boarding school?
13:42
Yeah, yeah. What the?
13:43
Fuck was that or I'm sorry for what was that like?
13:46
I like how you actually are following this new cursing role
13:48
that you created. You said your mom was gonna
13:49
watch it. Yeah, well, I mean.
13:52
That was why with that. Person I.
13:54
Thought it was something else, I didn't know why.
13:56
No. Well.
13:57
Well, sorry mom, we're going to curse.
13:58
Yeah. Yeah, she's OK.
14:00
She's old enough. Your son is really great.
14:03
All right, So what? What were you guys talking
14:05
about? Oh, he didn't.
14:06
I thought we talked about this last time I went to boarding
14:08
school. That's all I know.
14:09
Jeff, Me and oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:12
Boarding school and stuff. OK, OK, wait.
14:14
Yeah, Now this is really ringing a bell now.
14:16
Yeah, but I don't know that. I knew a couple of friends of
14:20
mine that went to boarding school and they have the best
14:22
lives. So I'm like, there must be some
14:24
sort of sauce they're giving in there.
14:26
We got kicked out of boarding school.
14:28
Too OK that's good. Oh no I do remember if if for
14:32
those of you who are listening, I don't know hop was on here
14:34
previously. There's like another episode
14:36
like way. Yeah, I don't even know.
14:38
I don't know where. Either two years ago almost to
14:41
the month, so it's. Probably like within the 1st 50.
14:43
Yeah. And if you, if you want to learn
14:45
more about like hops is like when we first met, yeah.
14:48
That's that's the one good, good idea.
14:50
Yeah. That would be something.
14:52
Good Carl never tandem before at.
14:53
That point I do really. I didn't drive with anybody.
14:56
The car was not the way it was. He didn't confess his love for
14:59
one Jay. ZI didn't know anything, yeah,
15:02
didn't really. Toyota Realm.
15:03
I I knew what I wanted to. I knew I just wanted to drift.
15:06
That's it, yeah. That's all.
15:07
Damn, that's crazy, I think. You had been doing some
15:09
Evergreen events at that. Just a couple right here and
15:11
there. Yeah, I like I knew who Reese
15:12
was. I've, I've been to club loose a
15:14
couple of times and then we had that pod and then actually we've
15:18
hung out a couple of times like. Yeah, I was gonna say you guys
15:20
are getting getting into some stuff together just.
15:22
Fun stuff though, just like. Carl will randomly show up.
15:25
Like the last time was when Jeff and Jimmy and all them were at
15:29
the track, right? And then we ended up jeeping in
15:32
the woods. Yeah, everyone got stuck.
15:33
That was the worst day ever. That's like the worst example
15:36
that we could have ever brought. That was like the worst.
15:40
Everyone got into a conflict like there was something wrong.
15:42
Everywhere we like have it down to a science of like where we
15:45
can go off roading with these shit box jeeps near E town,
15:49
right? And that day everyone was like,
15:51
let's try somewhere we haven't gone.
15:53
And it had rained like a whole lot the day before.
15:57
They were like you should have to cross this Creek.
15:59
And after that there's like one more little stream.
16:01
None of us made us through the 1st Creek and like we all tried
16:05
different areas like within 100 yards and everyone with these
16:09
like different areas was just stuck in the mud up to the frame
16:11
rails. It was horrible.
16:13
Yeah, Did you off road your car? Then no, no, no, anytime.
16:18
I like off roading my car, but I think our definitions of off
16:21
roading are a little different now.
16:22
Yeah, after seeing one. More time I was with Hop in the
16:26
Woods it was. Yeah, that.
16:28
Was awe. Was it new year?
16:29
No, not new. Year's Friendsgiving.
16:31
Friendsgiving. That was a great.
16:33
Time shit was violent. Yeah.
16:34
No, it was. Wait, it was.
16:35
That one, Ken, Yeah, just. Jeep.
16:37
How about the rear glass on the on the Jeep?
16:41
Oh yeah, that was the first thing I.
16:42
Smashed Ken's rear glass. Yeah.
16:44
Oh, he was real sour about that. Yeah, I.
16:46
Remember. And then he didn't care after
16:47
he. And then he did not.
16:48
And then liquid motivation. I guess he didn't care after he
16:51
was like 20 feet in the air jumping that thing.
16:53
He I just like. Remember you standing, like, at
16:56
a distance like he'd be like, I wanna go home, Yeah.
17:00
No 'cause Frankie Beans was like, yo, you gotta get in the.
17:02
Car. They jumped him and Carl jumped
17:05
that that Jeep like 2 feet off the ground and they're like and.
17:08
Then and then Malcolm got in and then they jumped like 3.
17:10
And then you're like 4 feet. Yeah, a little higher.
17:12
And then no one got in the car except for Ken and just like 12
17:16
feet. That was the one Frankie was
17:18
supposed to get in. Yeah, he's like.
17:19
Yo get in the car. I'm like, no, I'm.
17:20
Glad you didn't. I'm like, I'm not breaking my
17:23
spine and they only get more and more intense.
17:25
That's how it goes. He landed like on to a another
17:29
jump like he cleared the landing of the jump he was taking to
17:33
like on top of the next. I'm glad someone got that on
17:35
film because that was fucking gnarly.
17:37
It was like one of the nutsest things I've ever seen.
17:40
It was a pretty intense. With my own eyes, like in front
17:43
of me. I'm just replaying it and I feel
17:44
like it's even larger when I remember it.
17:47
It jumped. Over us, it could have jumped
17:49
over it. I think he was very close to
17:52
jumping a car. Yeah, that was the best jump we
17:55
were. Standing on a mound higher than
17:58
the take off ramp and his wheels were at our heads.
18:01
But. I was like, if they put a car
18:03
there, he could jump it. All the doors opened wasn't.
18:06
Like, yeah, I don't think that's how it's.
18:08
Supposed to work. Can you are you able to pull up
18:11
Instagram? Do you have Instagram?
18:13
We have this clip. It's on Ricky's story.
18:14
He has the best. About the fact that Ricky posted
18:18
that and got all the like clout from.
18:19
It well, first of all, it's 'cause it's Ricky's Instagram
18:22
too yeah you gotta. Remember, it doesn't hurt that
18:24
he has like 100,000, yeah. That that was I I like that.
18:27
In the background though, you just hear Hop going nuts.
18:32
Well, 'cause I heard him grab third gear, I was like, Oh my
18:34
God, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God. 2.2 billion views.
18:39
That's fucking crazy. Look at.
18:40
The wait, look at the intro photo.
18:43
Yeah, just. Like right here.
18:45
This is me. Good.
18:46
Yeah. Oh my God.
18:47
Oh my. God, oh.
18:50
My holy shit, yo, Frankie's kind of 17. 100 Why did this?
18:58
1700 lights. I'm good.
19:01
That was literally Frankie. I'm good.
19:04
Yo, I've never look at Malcolm full of life.
19:06
Did you see him at the? End.
19:07
Oh yeah, yeah, I. Remember, my gosh, I.
19:09
Remember that moment I was like. Me and beads like we're hugging
19:12
each other in laughter. It's.
19:15
Like. I, I will say it's pretty rare.
19:18
I feel like that you could just get a group of like 10 people or
19:22
more to just my gut. My gut was hurting, probably
19:29
laughing like. My Oh my.
19:31
God, that was like one of the hardest laughs.
19:36
You guys showed us a good time that night.
19:37
That was that was fun. That was, it was like that night
19:41
we all, if we didn't own a crappy Jeep, we all had one
19:44
after that and it was too cold. I had intentions of like I
19:48
bought a crappy Beamer. I was like, I want to just drive
19:50
a lot and just make sure like I don't lose any muscle memory,
19:53
all this kind of stuff. And then it was like 12° or a
19:56
month straight and I was like, alright, I guess I'm gonna do
19:58
that with this Jeep in the woods now.
20:02
I guess it's it's. Kind of kind of the same, yeah,
20:05
I'm. Sure, that'll translate 1000%.
20:07
Maybe not and if it you see me run a car over and get.
20:10
Airborne. You see what happens, right?
20:12
Right, Right sees an opener of Roadhouse.
20:15
Just fucking yo. Is Ken OK though?
20:18
Like. Yeah, he's, I mean, I think his
20:20
back hurt for a couple weeks. After that I would say so.
20:22
He's. So bad.
20:24
Yeah, I don't know. The crazy part was that Jeep was
20:26
actually a totally OK car. Yeah, when he got.
20:29
There was, he brings that up a bunch.
20:31
He drove me to pick up my truck in Toms River today and like it
20:35
came up. He was like, I think I need to
20:36
build another Jeep and like ruin that one or the one I already
20:40
have 'cause he's like, he definitely has some like.
20:43
So he still wants to like make that 1:00 Nice dude.
20:47
The shock mount broke off. Yeah, but that's that could have
20:50
been that was like best case scenario.
20:53
Like what of what broke? Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
20:56
Didn't break back. Whole it all could have like.
20:59
Everything was whole. I looked.
21:01
I know, but like I was just. Hanging there and I was like.
21:03
That's only what you can see. I think like his transfer case
21:06
cracked in half and stuff. Oh.
21:08
But he's he's still functional somehow.
21:10
He filled it with grease instead of oil so it wouldn't leak and
21:14
it works. I guess that's the thing the.
21:17
Jeeping has like, we really levelled up on the stupidity
21:20
with Jeeping this winter. I I guess that's like that.
21:24
It right there is a prime example of when.
21:27
You give kids. Money like that shit escalate.
21:33
I would. Yeah.
21:34
I mean that that, yeah, that's kind of what it's like.
21:37
I would watch. Everyone bought their shit
21:38
themselves this time 'cause we're all older, but it really
21:41
is. Messages go by bro and it just
21:43
like fucking just slipperiest slope ever like of of purchases.
21:49
Oh my God. We all just, like, motivate each
21:51
other to be Dumber, too. That's the problem.
21:53
Like, Bobby will do something and then I'm like, well, I gotta
21:55
do that too. And then, like, next, you know,
21:57
like, Ken's gotta do it bigger. And then next, you know, like
22:00
Ken's 12 feet in the air. Yeah, and now I don't want, I
22:03
don't want to be 13 feet in there, that's for damn sure.
22:06
Yeah, no one's. I don't think anyone's topping
22:07
that jump. Bobby's always doing something
22:09
too, though. That's another guy that I'm, I'm
22:11
glad we've we've grown a friendship because Bobby is one
22:15
of those guys where he just does stuff.
22:18
Fearless the. Plow on the golf cart had me
22:21
dying. Yeah, well, we all went to
22:23
Canada and he couldn't go. He got bored.
22:26
He can't stand still. He was getting cabin fever.
22:29
Crazy. He put a plow on his golf cart
22:32
'cause we were ice drifting. He looked so lonely in this.
22:34
He posted a video on his story. Like it's it's just him in the
22:38
garage. Usually there's like 20 people
22:40
in there. It's just him.
22:42
Put a winch and a cable on a plow.
22:44
It drops the plow. It's just him in there.
22:46
Oh my God. That's amazing.
22:48
Hopefully this like it's been a great like entertaining, you
22:53
know, winter outside of drifting, like we're done
22:56
driving or whatever and then we have like a bunch of fun doing
22:59
other stuff. I hope that like goes into the
23:01
summer. Yeah, I think, I don't think
23:04
that you guys are ever short of having fun.
23:06
Ever. I love this, no point otherwise.
23:08
That group of friends is so fucking awesome, dude.
23:11
You guys just help each other out all the time.
23:13
Yeah, no matter what. Yeah, we're very thankful you
23:15
guys invited us. That was awesome.
23:16
Dude, I was glad you guys came. Yeah, that was fun because we,
23:19
we, I mean, we have our friend group here, but we don't really
23:22
get to go to another friend group often.
23:24
So it was cool to see because it's like we know everyone but.
23:27
Right. Now Carl's part of the.
23:29
Group Imagine me. Trying.
23:30
Carl is part of the group. Imagine me trying to explain
23:33
that to you. Yeah, no, it would not.
23:34
Malcolm that it would. You would just get like, sounds
23:37
good, Carl. Yeah, yeah.
23:39
And then I show you the video and you're like, Oh my God.
23:41
That video would have been crazy to.
23:43
Say, though, if I wasn't true, I.
23:44
Would have been. Trying to explain it to all of
23:46
your listeners on the podcast though, so.
23:48
I would have been like, you guys were in that fucking truck.
23:51
And got back in after. Yeah, Jeeps are fun man.
23:55
But so, yeah, that's gonna translate really great in the
23:57
Formula Drift season. Oh, yeah, yeah.
23:59
Formula Drift. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:01
So how did you make this decision?
24:02
Because this is a pretty big decision.
24:03
Like the first year, well, I mean, there's a whole, let's
24:08
hear it, three-year build up to it, I guess because I went from,
24:12
you know, low horsepower driving.
24:15
All. My life basically.
24:17
And then I, I had the means and like the drive to build a car
24:22
that was like, you know, outside of my comfort zone 3 years ago.
24:25
So MA built this car for me and the first year it felt like
24:31
awesome. I was going to all these
24:32
different places. I noticed like myself improving
24:35
in ways that I didn't think like you had any more room to improve
24:38
on because it's a car that's so challenging.
24:41
That's the first year with this high horsepower hatch and then
24:44
the second year the ball kept like rolling.
24:47
It just felt really good. So in the midst of the beginning
24:49
of last season, they offered instead of having to do a
24:53
program shootout series or anything if someone like me,
24:57
because I'm always like trying to do Drift Appalachia events or
25:00
grid lice places where you're actually driving with either
25:03
already licensed drivers or guys that have been in FD and stuff
25:06
like that. Well, to make those events you I
25:09
can't do these series. It's just there's always a
25:11
scheduling conflict. So I think they offered a
25:14
scouting program of sorts that I signed up for.
25:17
So it's a bunch of people, Reese, Brian Eggert, I think Dan
25:21
Savage is on there, a bunch of other guys that are highly
25:24
qualified to choose a good driver.
25:27
And like I, I got chosen out of that scouting program to do FD
25:31
for this coming year. Did you have to sign up for
25:34
this? Program gold.
25:37
Hey, sign up for this. Like there's going to be a bunch
25:39
of other guys that do it, but like, we think you'd be a good
25:42
contender for it. And if you don't want to have to
25:45
dedicate yourself to like, I don't want to name the series
25:47
because I don't want to seem like I'm bashing them, but it's
25:49
it's a series or a bunch of them that I really wasn't interested
25:52
in being a part of. So you cannot be obligated to go
25:55
there. You can actually just keep doing
25:57
what you're doing and maybe prove yourself in a different
26:00
way to be qualified to drive Formula Drift.
26:03
So I did that. And fortunately enough, I think
26:06
it was me and one other driver from Florida got chosen out of
26:10
however many signed up to get licensed for the season for
26:13
Prospec. And if I hadn't, if that wasn't
26:16
made available, I would have missed out on things that I
26:19
think like drastically improve the driver, the driving
26:24
abilities I have, like Drift Appalachia alone is a, is a huge
26:28
like leap forward for confidence and like abilities and stuff.
26:31
There's no such thing as like making a mistake.
26:34
And if you do, you're probably writing off your car or you're
26:38
just you're, you're not having a good day.
26:40
There's no such thing as like flying off track, getting back
26:43
on and figuring it out. You know you have to like in the
26:45
moment, have the reaction and the like bag of tricks to make
26:49
it through there. I've thought that since the
26:51
moment I saw the 1st event I was like that is fucking crazy.
26:54
I've ended up in a ditch at those events.
26:56
I had like an issue with my car. It was stalling for some reason.
27:00
I end it just was that like millisecond where you would have
27:03
just gone wide and dropped a tire.
27:04
I ended up in like a Rock Valley and I like it's it.
27:08
It's the matter of millimeters to change your day.
27:11
So that event definitely helps. Yeah, all those events, every
27:14
time I leave at an Appalachian event, I feel like I've learned
27:17
something major. And then with grid lifes, like
27:21
you're driving these tracks, you never get opportunities to drive
27:24
Lime Rock. Well, Ginger Men, I guess they
27:27
drive a lot at but it's a huge fast track and there with guys
27:30
that are pro 1 and pro spec drivers, stuff like that.
27:34
I just try and like sponge and absorb everything I can being in
27:37
those situations and I don't. I don't think there's anything
27:40
wrong with the Pro Am series that are available, but I think
27:44
there's more to learn doing other things too, so I was
27:47
happy. Everything was a good idea yeah
27:49
it lets people kind of get away from that whole like oh I got to
27:53
do these 4 events this year right put everything towards it
27:57
Yep versus doing exactly what you just said I.
27:59
Feel like you lose seat time almost having to over commit to
28:01
something like that, especially on a pro AM level.
28:05
Yeah. So once that became real, like
28:08
getting the license, I was already like mentally and
28:12
somewhat financially prepared to make the jump.
28:15
But I, I had to like still, I had to talk things over with the
28:19
people in my life. Like so Haley and I, we've been
28:22
dating forever. I was like, look, if we're going
28:25
to do this, we got to put on hold a couple other things that
28:29
you're probably expecting right now.
28:31
And she was totally cool with it.
28:33
Thankfully. She's crazy supportive.
28:36
And then the same with like I'm close with my family and we all
28:39
run a family business. So I had to like approach them
28:42
as well and be like, listen, I'm not disappearing, but I am also
28:46
going to have to dedicate myself when it comes time.
28:49
Like these 4 events aren't just like 4 weekends.
28:52
These 4 events are like the next six months of my life.
28:54
So I, I basically am taking on a second job here because I'm not
28:58
going to just show up and try and be like the guy that was
29:02
there. I'm going to show up and try and
29:04
be the guy. That's like the problem for the
29:05
rest of the field, you know, and it's, it's easy to say and it's
29:10
not easy to do which which is like you got.
29:13
To have that mentality. Yeah, I don't want to just be
29:16
there to say I was there. I want to be there and like have
29:19
something to show for it. So hopefully my my main goal
29:22
coming into FD is to like, I'm not going to say I want a
29:26
podium. I'm not going to say I'm trying
29:27
to win a championship. I just want to be like, the
29:30
problem, the rookie driver, That's the problem for everyone
29:33
else, you know? That sounds amazing yo.
29:34
I can't wait to have hop on again and then it's rookie
29:38
driver of the year, man. Let's hope so.
29:39
Yeah, I'm putting come. On whatever's in my control to
29:44
make that happen, I'm I'm doing. It.
29:46
Putting the people places and things in the right area.
29:49
So. And it seems like you're
29:50
somebody that since you have control of it, you'll actually
29:53
do something with it. You you just covered every Ave.
29:58
like before even signing up for something like that's so
30:01
incredibly courteous of you like to think that way, you know what
30:05
I mean? Yeah, well, I just didn't want
30:06
anything in the back of my head to be like creating any
30:11
hesitation like I don't want to be sitting on the line first
30:14
round, second round, third round 4th and have somebody's like
30:18
voice that I'm affecting negatively in the back.
30:20
Yeah, that voice to, to change my focus cause that was the
30:25
other thing that changed the past three years.
30:27
You don't have to, you always have to focus.
30:29
You're racing a car, sure, but when you're at a grassroots
30:31
event, you're like, you can mess up and go out for the next lap
30:35
and stuff like that. When you're in competitive
30:36
drifting like that mistake usually means your day's over,
30:39
like you've lost your battle or whatever.
30:42
And it's just, yeah, like, I don't want any excuse other than
30:48
like my own to like, maybe not have success, yeah.
30:52
Yeah. It's a lot of stress.
30:54
Yeah. I'm getting stressed out right
30:56
now. You.
30:56
Are so I thought it would I do get stressed.
30:59
I'm sure all my friends can attest to like the first year
31:02
especially like it was hard to handle stress competitive
31:05
driving and now I've like come to use it as a tool almost or at
31:09
least. You don't seem stressed to me,
31:13
but what you're talking about. What do you want to do?
31:16
You don't realize how much I think about it at this point
31:18
because it is a huge financial commitment.
31:20
It's time commitment. So if it's something you can't
31:23
handle because it's stressing out to that level, it's maybe
31:25
not meant for. I keep saying you me, but so
31:29
I've been doing my due diligence and like handling it too.
31:33
I have a lot of confidence in the people.
31:34
Like I have Wilkerson as my crew chief.
31:37
He's man, he's been the crew chief on multiple championship
31:41
winning teams for Pro 1. Chelsea De Novo is going to be
31:45
my spotter and setup guy. He's won his own championship
31:48
and also helped Tommy Lemaire, who won the championship for Pro
31:52
spec and he's also helped Turek last year with car set up And
31:55
then the little bit of testing we've done, I've noticed a huge
31:59
improvement on like he could take my inability to like tell
32:03
him how I'm feeling or what I think is going on in the car and
32:06
then translate it to like a mechanical change that actually
32:09
is helping me. And then my my two mechanics, I
32:13
trust them too. Beans is actually like the
32:17
hopefully he doesn't get mad at this.
32:19
He's like the the second hand mechanic guy.
32:22
Love him, but and then Mike could tell.
32:24
I don't know if you know the hit.
32:24
I don't think I know him, but I know, I know Front Street.
32:27
Front Street. Tom was here earlier and he was,
32:29
he was real mad at you. Yeah, yeah, well, Tom's having a
32:32
baby, so. Yeah, it just to I guess we're
32:35
announcing on the podcast. He announced.
32:37
We were gonna do no. No, no, no, no.
32:39
Yeah, it's Internet knowledge, yeah, but I had to think for him
32:43
a little bit with that 'cause I wanted Tom.
32:45
Of course him like thinking like.
32:47
I know I. Did it's, I was like, Tom, I
32:49
think I have to think for you a little bit here.
32:51
Like you're about to have your a kid with your girl.
32:55
You just moved into your house. You just had like a little bit
32:58
of a career change. Like he got promoted within his
33:00
own job. I'm like, you have all this
33:02
stuff going on, which is all positive things that take a ton
33:05
of your attention. And I'm going to ask way too
33:07
much out of you time wise and dedication wise.
33:10
Not to mention you have your own drifting program to do.
33:13
Like go do that and then find the time for the rest of the
33:17
stuff. I was just thinking about him
33:18
drifting and I was like, how's he going to manage to do both of
33:20
those? So when you say all that, Tom
33:22
was just like, whatever, dude, look.
33:27
Dude, I don't that was. I don't even really know what to
33:31
say about that. I don't even know he's.
33:32
Not he's not. He likes to pretend he's mad,
33:35
though. Yeah, he's not mad.
33:36
No, but that was extremely. It's awful.
33:38
Like, yeah. And Tom, I think you're going to
33:40
be great person. You're going to be ready, Tom.
33:43
You're going to be a great dad. Shout out Tom.
33:45
Yeah, yeah, make sure everyone goes on his Instagram and.
33:48
Don't do that. See, now you're making us the
33:51
back. I know.
33:52
Now I'm. Hoping he's made a public post
33:53
to this. I'm pretty.
33:54
Sure he did. Yeah, I saw.
33:56
It yeah. Jeez, he'd.
33:57
Be real awkward if he didn't. We end this whole podcast and I
34:00
call him, yo, can I talk about this?
34:01
No, you can't. You got to delete.
34:02
The whole don't. Edit it out.
34:04
Delete it please dude we got a fun year this year like for us
34:09
and normies down here. Yeah, for you, your stress is.
34:11
Fucked. Good luck we get to watch after
34:13
hearing that. If you're not hyped to see Brian
34:15
on the line this fucking coming season, you're weird.
34:18
Yeah, true, you're weird. You don't love an underdog
34:21
story? What?
34:21
What kind of? Yeah, there's a lot of heavy
34:23
hitters coming into perspec are already existing there.
34:26
So it I do feel like I, I am a bit of the underdog.
34:29
I'm like the guy that's got to wake up, you know, 45 AM, you
34:32
got to run my business and then go out, go figure out drifting
34:36
stuff after the. Got any tire response?
34:39
Is that the whole thing? I don't.
34:40
I don't have. Anything.
34:41
Anyway, I don't know. I have to run GT radials 250
34:45
fives for the rear. I'm going to try and run a 23517
34:49
upfront. I don't know how many other guys
34:51
in purse spec are going to do that, but so that's, I've been
34:56
trying to find a way to get them cheaper or at least like on the
35:01
grassroots end of things for Appalachias and gridlifes and
35:04
club loose stuff. But if anyone's out there
35:07
wanting to sponsor a driver for tires, I, I I'm hitting
35:10
roadblocks right now, yeah. That's why I'm a little
35:12
confused. I'm like, OK, so they force you
35:14
to use a certain tire. Yeah, but they don't give you
35:17
like a, they must give you a crazy rate on that.
35:19
Yeah, I mean the pricing seems reasonable, but they're still
35:22
expensive. It's over $100 tire from what
35:25
I'm gathering. So, and I mean Race treads is
35:28
the person or the company we're gonna, I'm gonna go through at
35:31
least I don't know if guys go to GT Radial Direct and I am part
35:35
of the ambassador program for Race Treads.
35:38
So I get a discount through them.
35:39
And then also, if you use Code Brian Hop, you get a discount
35:43
and I get a little like incentive showing that I'm doing
35:47
something for. That's their sales.
35:48
But yeah, free tires is always great too.
35:52
Yeah, hey, use the code Brian Hop, please.
35:54
Yeah, that'd be great. About that what the fuck?
35:57
Yeah, Carl is gonna be using this, Yeah.
35:58
Yeah, I might, Yeah, not might. But if I use it.
36:00
If I buy it for. Ray, that really gonna use Brian
36:02
Hop? Yeah, yeah, definitely use it.
36:04
Yeah. So that's why I was like, I
36:06
don't, I feel like you, you kind of need a tire sponsor before
36:09
you go into this. But now that they kind of
36:10
mandate the tires, I don't think it's the same as it was.
36:13
Harder to go, at least if you're trying to do only FT based
36:17
program for like tire support and you don't have an in with GT
36:21
radio or maybe like I think there are a driver or two that
36:26
has like maybe a racetread sponsorship of some sort.
36:29
Yeah, but there's a huge pot of us.
36:31
I I don't know if it's 30 or 40 drivers in prospect that are
36:35
using the same tire, same company, same brand.
36:37
Malcolm, could you look up when did Formula drift mandate tire
36:40
brand? Ask AI they'll they'll help you
36:43
out. What the fuck?
36:45
Yeah, we're doing that now. Sometimes you.
36:46
Know wild works, right? AI, yeah, but it's are we
36:49
talking about that top search? Suggestion.
36:51
That's what I'm talking about. When I when I first came up.
36:54
Whoa, yeah. I mean, it's it's here now.
36:57
I mean, it might be sentient. We don't know.
37:00
Didn't they try and like put a pause on it for a bit there and?
37:03
They did try. For a minute they were like,
37:04
maybe we should stop. And then they got crazy with
37:07
who? What do you mean?
37:07
Stop. I don't know the name of the
37:08
companies Open AI. Sounds like you would know
37:12
better. I think it's called Open AI.
37:13
Is that one company? And Elon Musk was like, can you?
37:16
I remember Elon being vocal about it like, hey, this is
37:19
like, we're not advanced enough to have.
37:22
Mandating tire brand 2014 in 2014.
37:24
I knew it was. That's when I went from Pro 2 to
37:26
Pro spec. So it was Faulk and Tire at
37:29
first, and they supplied the tires for the series.
37:35
Yeah. See, they did this for a couple
37:36
reasons. The main reason is, I guess, not
37:38
the main reason, but the main reason they'll tell you is so
37:40
that everyone's the same tire, you know?
37:43
So like minimum, maximum or minimum weight requirement and
37:49
tire size is their best way of making an even playing field.
37:52
And then there's lake ECU requirement for all cars.
37:55
Which how? How does that like?
37:58
How does that help? The link ECU portion, look I
38:02
should know more, I don't. Yeah, it's kind.
38:04
Of I'm happy it's a great ECU that they're forcing, quote UN
38:07
quote, forcing us to use. Maybe it's so someone like Kevin
38:11
Wells can do their own, like data logging or plugging in or
38:14
understanding of the car or something like that.
38:17
So they can. Maybe something with Lincoln
38:19
like the telemetry too Don't. Is there a lot of like data that
38:23
goes through the ACU? And Yep, OK, if that's the
38:26
right. But we're not professionals and
38:28
we don't. Or, well, you are, but we don't
38:29
know what we're talking about on this side of the table over
38:31
here. I hate that you call me
38:34
professional drivers. I'm.
38:34
Gonna keep doing. It I'm gonna keep doing it.
38:37
I mean, maybe they just did a really good deal with them or
38:40
it's because of the things Carl just mentioned.
38:42
Yeah, it could be. I mean, that's all I could
38:44
think. There are a few things that are
38:45
confusing to the rule book pro spec, I know, like in the midst
38:48
of getting our car to like a little bit more higher caliber
38:54
level, there's been some frustrations with like
38:58
suspension point pickup points and things like that.
39:01
I know other guys are frustrated with like steering column stuff
39:04
and all. So prospect definitely has its
39:07
other limitations to it. But the main like leveling the
39:11
playing field factors in my opinion are the weight
39:13
restrictions, the tire size stuff.
39:16
I I was always a fan of the tire width to weight thing.
39:20
I think that was a major game changer when they did that.
39:24
I am too. Yeah, because there was like no
39:26
way to really regulate Yep stuff.
39:29
I mean, it kind of it helped a little bit.
39:32
Obviously they haven't put a cap on power, so there's really no
39:35
way to stop that. I don't know how if at that
39:38
point the power would. Matter.
39:39
That's why. That's why they did.
39:41
That my car would spin a 255 right now.
39:43
But I think it's funny because it's the standardized size is
39:46
255 and you have 300 horsepower SRS with a 265 on it.
39:52
Yeah. Set up very differently.
39:54
And then you wonder and you wonder why it's breaking it like
39:57
the 255. I feel like is that's that was
40:00
like a big tire when I was younger.
40:02
I was like, this shit's. What?
40:04
And I had my suspicions that like my car, it was 600
40:08
horsepower basically for the first two years.
40:10
So we tested before taking the car apart with a 255.
40:14
Before that I was running 280 fives, 290 fives and I was like,
40:18
this car is about to like just have no grip whatsoever.
40:22
And I was like pleasantly surprised.
40:24
It was like picking up the front end when I was like going to
40:26
full lock and stuff. I mean, credit due to Chelsea
40:31
because he set up the car for the 255, but I was surprised how
40:35
much grip you can actually get out of that tire to the point
40:38
where we had to like address, OK, 600 horsepower is not
40:41
enough. Like we definitely need more
40:43
power. The fact you got Chelsea in your
40:45
corner is pretty sick too. It seems like a really like
40:47
smart person, very smart and direct which I.
40:50
Like that's what I like too. Like he's not going to cookie
40:54
cut it. And it's at many of the moments
40:57
coming up, it's going to be like, I need to hear it how it
40:59
is so that we can just like. Get through whatever is going on
41:03
right now. Tell me what I.
41:04
Need to do yeah, I feel like he's he's like the way more
41:08
refined and tamed version of like me in the terms of like
41:13
super aggressive, like always trying to somewhat be close to
41:17
full tilt. But he's found a way to make it
41:20
into like a consistency thing where I still struggle with the
41:23
right consistency. Like I can ride 60 percent, 70%
41:27
and be fine. But the problem is once like the
41:30
adrenaline flows or I'm in top eight top 4 battles, it's hard
41:35
to hold back like and not go to like ninety 100% because at that
41:39
point you make a mistake or you blow it for yourself.
41:41
Because I did that a lot for Sears driving this car.
41:44
So I'm hoping him being in my ear is going to really like reel
41:48
back the the hop insanity. Yeah, you have a really good
41:52
team set up right now. So yeah, yeah, this is this is
41:55
looking to be a really exciting. Kind of serious.
41:58
Kind of. It's pretty.
41:59
Serious, the more we talk. About it, I'm like, God, jeez,
42:03
this is a lot. God, jeez God.
42:05
Jeez, it is a lot. Dude I don't want how does.
42:08
Mommy get mad at me. Shit.
42:10
I mean. You were one of the first people
42:12
to call me Frankie once I got the license.
42:14
I was just thinking that too. You were, yeah, 'cause I was
42:17
like, and it was funny, you called me 'cause I was like, oh
42:19
man, I gotta like, start spending money already, like
42:22
body kit wheels. Yeah.
42:24
And you called me like, the next day you're like, hey, man, I, I
42:28
really want to get back in a car, back in the form of drift.
42:30
Like, I'd like to, like, support you with a, a kit, origin lab
42:33
kit. And I was like, hell yeah.
42:35
Yeah, yeah. Right in my mind, I.
42:38
I mean, the second I see like, you know, when Mike Power did
42:41
it, and then if I see people I know that are doing this, I,
42:46
it's, it's fine for me. I'm like, OK, that makes sense,
42:48
you know, and we'll see what happens.
42:50
If it doesn't go well, then it doesn't go well.
42:51
If it goes great, then awesome. I don't care.
42:53
Like you're my friend. You're you're one of the drivers
42:55
I looked up to most as far as driving is concerned, which I
42:58
really usually don't care about. I care more about how shit
43:01
looks, obviously. But you were the only one at
43:03
Club Loops where I was like, if you were driving, we had to go
43:06
watch like we had to watch. He's going to be really cool or
43:09
he's going to blow it real, really.
43:10
Hard. And it was always, it was always
43:12
the bank. I was like, he's always just on
43:14
the wall the whole time, like fucking sick.
43:17
And I'm pretty sure you were the reason why Justin would always
43:19
try to do that too. So yeah, no, that's what I
43:22
thought right away. I was like, wait, he's doing,
43:24
he's doing competition shit. We gotta we gotta figure out how
43:26
we can help somehow. Yeah, so it felt good that you
43:29
like. Yeah.
43:30
This faith in me, are you scared?
43:32
It's going to ruin things for you.
43:34
We haven't talked about that, but I like to talk about the
43:36
glass half half empty sometimes. Yeah, you like to be negative.
43:39
Got it, you. Just got to be.
43:41
You just got to be prepared for, you know, you're scared it's
43:45
going to like ruin grass roots for you.
43:47
No, because you. Know how that sometimes gets
43:50
lost? You know, now it's like just
43:52
about being a pro. If anything, it's, you know,
43:55
because I've been humbled already a bunch in the like past
43:59
two years. I keep saying the past few
44:00
years, but it's like what I that's when I've changed like my
44:04
momentum and like what I've been doing.
44:07
So being humbled was just like, I took it as more of like a
44:10
motivator to like get over that hump.
44:13
So let's say it, I mean, it is tough, especially now the new
44:17
qualifying like way they're doing it, shooting out and
44:21
tanning to get into the like the show.
44:24
I it's let's say I don't make it into the show the first event.
44:29
Like all I have to do is if I get down on myself, I'm only
44:31
going to get worse. So I just have to make sure to
44:34
use that to get better. So I don't think it's going to
44:37
ruin, it's certainly not 100% not going to ruin grassroots
44:40
drifting for me. That it would be very something
44:42
grassroots related would have to make that go sour.
44:46
It's going to either make me love competitive drifting even
44:50
more or it's going to really like, I don't know.
44:53
I don't think I'll ever hate it because it's I've never hated
44:56
competitive drifting, even when I didn't do it or have like a
44:59
drive to be a part of it. It's, it's always been like a
45:04
different aspect of different mentality, a different like
45:07
mental game for driving that I just want to be better at.
45:10
Is it like you switch to a different person almost when
45:13
you're competing? It's like a totally different
45:15
person. I try.
45:15
To. Yeah, I can kind of relate to
45:17
that. With the one competition I ever
45:19
did at Super DI was like all of a sudden I was like, feel a
45:21
different. Person yeah, yeah.
45:22
And they say, like, some of the most successful professional
45:25
athletes at any sport, they have, like, the ability to,
45:27
like, click on like their flow state, like right off the, like,
45:30
bat, you know? Yeah, They're sitting for
45:33
drifting. It's crazy.
45:34
It's so much hurry up and wait. You show up to the event, you
45:38
get unloaded, you get tacked, whatever.
45:40
Then you, like, linger around for a bit.
45:42
OK, Time to practice. Practice is easy, whatever.
45:45
Or it's hard and then stop. And then in grassroots drifting,
45:49
it's go qualify. You've been waiting for an hour
45:51
and a half. All right, get in your car, go
45:53
do the best lap you can right now, you know, And then for FD,
45:57
it's like, OK, you're paired up with this dude, go win the
46:00
tantum battle with him right now.
46:01
Go do the two best laps you can, lead and follow.
46:03
Yeah, wait. But I'm like sitting here for
46:05
two hours, so it's like you have to find your way.
46:07
That's crazy too. Switch it on.
46:09
It's that's the hardest part, yeah.
46:12
It's like getting in the car is easy, getting up to the lines
46:14
easy and then all of a sudden you got like 15 seconds, 20
46:17
seconds after the burnout box before you go and you're like,
46:20
it feels like an hour you're. Like I wonder if there's
46:22
somebody in the grid with like a SIM in the back in the back of
46:25
the trailer. Yeah, right.
46:26
Going. For that would be like the guy
46:28
at Fast and Furious playing the game before.
46:31
But then you're but then you're doing this or not that, not that
46:34
this is drifting. That's what I think of is like
46:36
this motion is like. If that's not all ready.
46:40
To wake up and like go flipped the wheel the other way, like.
46:43
If that's not already happening, someone's gonna have like, for
46:46
sure crazy fuck. Are you guys good at SIM?
46:49
We could have had the sauce. I'm.
46:50
Sure. I'm terrible.
46:51
I'm terrible. So.
46:52
I I, I use it to, like, learn tracks before I go there.
46:55
Yeah. So that's why.
46:57
Oh, OK. Remember when we were at the
46:59
private day with Jimmy and I got in the car?
47:01
Yeah. Never driven that car in my
47:03
life. That's the SIM talking.
47:04
Yeah. Before we left, Jimmy walked up
47:07
to my car, told me there's a there's like, you know,
47:10
different packs of cars. You can have told me a a pack of
47:13
cars. He was like this, drives like an
47:14
N style car. Well, he told you like what and
47:17
he Sims 2 how'd. You do in that car when you
47:19
drive. Loved it.
47:20
He let out like everyone drive at that time.
47:22
I got to drive. I got to drive.
47:23
Dude it was like AV 8 but AS. RA2 Car.
47:26
No AG series powered Sr. OK.
47:30
And it was like wet out. So I don't know.
47:32
It was wild fat right off of the right off of the pedal.
47:36
It's. Full boost I think.
47:38
It's the 85 too. Yeah, probably.
47:40
I never drove a, I've never driven an S chassis with an
47:43
angle kit. So like I wasn't expecting it to
47:48
like, I would just go like this a little bit more and I'm like,
47:51
how much does it have That's? AB knuckle car too, and that was
47:54
the first time I drove AB knuckle car and I'm not one for
47:57
like big spaced out off the knuckle wheels and stuff.
48:01
So it took a little for me too, but it was wild how responsive
48:06
that yeah, those G series turbo. No wonder like people bend rods
48:09
and stuff without a proper set up bottom end because that's so
48:14
much torque in like it was like 2500 RPM.
48:17
He's building that, however much boost that thing had.
48:20
Well, none of that that and I was just shocked at how much
48:24
bite it had in my car is like a pretty and.
48:27
You're talking in the war. It was soaking wet and Jimmy was
48:31
like, it's pretty much the worst conditions right now, but you
48:34
could try and that that shit's saying he was in a.
48:37
Real like giving mood that day he like digital adrenaline Berry
48:42
Dr. it me you. I, I, I feel like once you let
48:45
like two people drive it, you're pretty much fucked.
48:47
You gotta let everyone. Drive it, turn with it and like
48:51
going from like off the I didn't hit the bank because I
48:56
personally just didn't. Trust myself with that.
48:58
I feel like I could have done it.
48:59
The car was so. I mean smooth.
49:01
But I just didn't want to just if somebody's nice to you,
49:05
we're. We're both short.
49:06
Did you have to like pile up some cushions or anything?
49:08
I was like, so I was saying no, because that's just how I was.
49:12
That's not my car. It's you never drive somebody
49:15
else's car. That's just like my dad's rule.
49:18
He did. He did start.
49:19
He's just started. Jimmy's like, oh, you'll reach
49:21
it. I'm wearing hiking boots.
49:24
And I was, I got in the car. I'm like, Jimmy, no, no, this
49:27
isn't going to work. I guess I can't drive it.
49:28
And then he just started grabbing like every cushion.
49:31
And then now I was like right here.
49:33
And I was like, I mean, I guess now I have to drive it.
49:36
And it actually worked like the problem is all the way forward
49:38
like. He took all the cushions,
49:39
including the bottom one, and now I'm like right here.
49:43
Oh yeah. I could not.
49:45
So now you've reached everything, but now you're low.
49:47
I was just going based off of what I thought the track looked
49:50
like at that point, some of it like they.
49:52
I love how he just whispers in your.
49:53
It's like an end style car. And like right before we went.
49:55
Yeah, that's probably what gave him the confidence.
49:56
She's like, he's good at SIM. You'll just tell him what kind
49:59
of SIM car. Yeah, it was, it was nice.
50:01
Like every I the whole chorus, front and back, tree into I like
50:07
tree turned into that little one hairpin.
50:10
Haul, backtrack, hairpin, or whatever.
50:12
Hairpin just hauling and going. That turn always feels weird to
50:16
me because it feels like everything's off camber like
50:18
the. I freaking.
50:19
Love it dude, especially the new pavement sections.
50:21
They're a little bit sloped like off camber.
50:24
You're right, yeah. It's almost like you have to
50:26
time yourself with like a a bit of float if your car is float,
50:29
or get on the gas like a smidge earlier to push yourself out of
50:33
that like because otherwise you're going in the grass.
50:35
Yeah, you, you, if you go wide, you all of a sudden it's like
50:37
you're going wide and you're like digging down.
50:40
Now you're in a dirt bike track. Yeah, none of those dips are
50:43
forgiving either, 'cause everyone drops a tire in the
50:45
same spots. You're like picking up your
50:47
front tire. Yeah, when?
50:48
People would fly from XTC and in that turn.
50:51
That's like my favorite thing to.
50:52
Do that shit is you're a fucking This is why.
50:54
Yeah, you're a man. Yo if I have.
50:56
To say right now that might be yeah, well, that.
50:58
Might be the. Scariest transition from me on
50:59
that track. You think so?
51:01
I, I haven't hit it right ever, but from watching people do it,
51:05
yeah, that, that seems like it's.
51:06
Where are you looking when you're alright?
51:08
So you're finishing XTC front track and then you're coming
51:11
through you're. Looking at the fucking track we
51:12
got up here. Oh shit.
51:13
OK, so let me show you. How are you going to see this,
51:17
Malcolm? Your Cam.
51:19
Oh yeah. The hop Cam.
51:20
The hop Cam. The hop Cam take it off.
51:21
The wall. Great.
51:22
Take it off the wall. Sit down with.
51:25
It OH. OK.
51:25
Oh yeah, look at that. I had my mic already and stuff.
51:28
Yeah. Hop was alright.
51:29
Hop was like, what? You don't have cameras that
51:31
move. Come on, bro.
51:31
Yeah, dude, Tracking, tracking. I like how Malcolm before this
51:36
podcast you were the boss of Malcolm and now Malcolm.
51:39
That's how it goes. Is the boss of you.
51:41
That's how it goes. You have no idea what that did
51:43
for Frankie right now. He's the producer.
51:45
Malcolm was correct. He's the producer.
51:47
This is, by the way, this is not, I don't even know where you
51:50
got that, but we don't sell this.
51:52
We don't sell this, but you can. You can buy these online.
51:54
You. Oh, really?
51:55
Search it, you'll find it. Yeah, any track too.
51:58
But anyway, so this is this is XDC.
52:01
So you're going to be lining up here and then you're going to
52:04
come down here and you're going to hit.
52:06
First turn 3 going 1,000,000 miles.
52:08
Transition where you are right there.
52:09
Transition coming through tree. Little left foot right there.
52:13
Come through here. Right here.
52:15
Yeah. So when you get to like right
52:16
here, where are you? What's your line of sight when
52:18
you're in your? Own my line of sight is going
52:20
straight and not drifting because my car is not making
52:22
that much power. Dude, what?
52:24
I'm probably going to be foaming at the mouth that no right?
52:28
I'm done right here. Literally.
52:30
If you keep dragging your finger up to the to the hairpin, like
52:33
keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going,
52:35
keep going and then stop right there and then drag your finger
52:38
out to the out, that's where. I'm looking.
52:40
And so then I know I'm like, OK, I'm going to pitch the rear
52:42
right there and just. You're looking myself, you're
52:45
looking at this point when you're about here, you're
52:47
saying, yeah, So that's that's the thing to do.
52:50
Like when when I was like when we all were first trying this
52:54
and stuff, a lot of guys got it right away.
52:56
And I was like getting way too much angle here, coming up
53:00
short, thinking about going too fast.
53:01
And I was looking like down my hood just out of the fact that
53:05
like it's 4th gear. You're like really kind of I was
53:07
getting intimidated and stuff. And then once I started looking
53:11
like way far in advance to what I was doing it it exponentially
53:14
helped. It's hard for people to
53:15
understand this, but if you have the video podcast you can see
53:17
this track. Just imagine how fast you need
53:21
to go to. Think of.
53:22
A through this long ass turn and then you're going to a hairpin,
53:25
Yeah. It's it feels so good though
53:28
when you like transition and all of a sudden you grab like you
53:31
hit your bump, stop as you like, downshift and just floor it
53:34
right through here. Yeah, and you know, it could do
53:36
the rest of it too. So you're like, right, Yeah, I'm
53:39
fucking usually. By here I've like blown my
53:40
quarter panel apart from the tire delaying it's every time.
53:45
That watching. XD On the last Test day, on the
53:49
last Test day, I had like half a set of tires left in the Hatch
53:53
and I I did a big entry up regular and then I clicked forth
53:57
and I did that off of like doing regular entry.
54:01
That's sick. Yeah.
54:02
It felt wild. I thought it was going to blow
54:04
my. Transmission Have you ever done
54:05
this layout? Hold on.
54:06
Give me give me that. Give me that.
54:07
Give me that. Have you ever done this layout?
54:08
Hop does this? Has this ever happened in the
54:10
history of? Probably.
54:12
I I call it the K hole. Oh God.
54:15
But that's what hippies do at concerts.
54:17
They they find This is my name. But it would be like a hot lap
54:22
trap. You, you would grid here.
54:23
You remember the butterfly track at a Lime Rock?
54:28
It'd be two laps. Yeah, it'd be two laps.
54:29
And you get off. Yeah, that shit was sick.
54:31
Fire the people like people want that again, but we can't do that
54:36
at Lime Rock anymore. So I had this idea and we tried
54:38
it out on the SIM, which is great.
54:39
You can bullshit like that. The K hole you would grid right
54:42
here. You don't drift the bank turn 1
54:44
and you enter like XDC and it would be this again, two and
54:50
then off and then off and then grid right here again.
54:56
Not a bad idea. You've done that on the SIM?
54:58
Yeah. We do it a lot, but sometimes or
55:01
when people decide to listen to me.
55:03
But yeah, that's the the not driving the bank the first one,
55:08
right? Get loose and enter a tree.
55:10
You get speed, so then people get that people love a big entry
55:14
now and then the stands. My idea was that since the
55:17
stands are all there everyone want can see.
55:21
I feel like sometimes although as a driver backtrack is fun as
55:24
hell and tree turn is sick. The the people watching it are
55:29
like, oh damn, we got to walk all the way over there, but now
55:31
we can't see this one. So then it's like there's.
55:33
Some course layouts I've been trying to like figure out for
55:37
come few weeks from now and I'm like testing for Atlanta and I
55:41
want to figure out a way to replicate like down the hill
55:45
after down the hill. Like I'm not worried about the
55:47
entry part. I'm not really worried about
55:48
much, but what I would want to practice the most is once you
55:51
transition from Turn 1, the extension into the keyhole,
55:55
that's like something. I feel like there's something
55:58
either I don't want to just go into the parking lot and set up
56:00
cones 'cause there's elevation change at Atlanta, but I feel.
56:03
You're going. Up a course layout to be had
56:05
within Forgotten Turn's not on there, but within Forgotten Turn
56:09
and all the kidneys and stuff and little access roads to like
56:13
try and get close to that big fast, slightly uphill.
56:17
And then as it crests, grab downshift, do almost like, I
56:22
don't know, the keyhole isn't that tight compared to like the
56:25
hairpins at E Town. But I got to think up something.
56:29
I I've been racking my brain on what I could do to like try and
56:32
test. So what are the four?
56:34
Events Atlanta's first Jersey 2nd, St.
56:37
Louis is third and Utah is 4th. So it goes.
56:41
Utah's not. June.
56:43
July. August.
56:44
Malcolm, can you prepare the last two?
56:46
He said. Saint Louis and what else?
56:48
Utah. Utah 'cause I don't think I know
56:49
those, but I want to see them. Utah.
56:51
Utah's real fast. It's wild.
56:54
Fast, yeah. Yeah, Saint Louis seems.
56:56
I mean they all seem fast in their own right.
56:58
Like Jersey is not necessarily mile per hour fast, but
57:03
everything you're doing is against a wall or crossing over
57:06
into the outer zone of another wall.
57:09
So like even though it's 60 mile an hour and less, you're doing
57:13
it against a wall the whole time.
57:15
I'm going to be. Panicking about Atlanta, but I
57:18
guess it's not that crazy. Yeah, I don't know.
57:20
Atlanta seems just so like fluid.
57:23
Yeah. Like flows nice and it's a big
57:26
open safe to crash racial. This one is.
57:29
What is that? When is Atlanta?
57:31
You said May. Atlanta, yeah, May 8th and 9th
57:33
is prospect, I think. Yeah, I might have to fucking
57:36
fly down to Diegos and go watch that shit.
57:39
That'd be sick. I mean, I've never been to Rd.
57:40
Atlanta. No, no.
57:42
And there's there. Looks like the sickest viewing.
57:46
Yeah, it's awesome. And 'cause they have like all
57:50
around Keyhole and the big sweeper and everything.
57:53
Yeah. That's awesome.
57:54
What makes it like I remember seeing?
57:56
And it's May in Atlanta. It's not like July in Atlanta.
58:00
It's nice. Atlas doesn't rain.
58:02
But like old formula DVD, that's the track.
58:05
Like you would watch him come down the straightaway.
58:07
Yeah, this is Saint Louis. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
58:09
This is Saint Louis, but we're. But I'm talking about Rd.
58:11
Atlanta. Like when you come down the
58:13
straightaway like that shit was the coolest thing.
58:14
But this is Saint Louis. OK, where?
58:16
Where I don't know. In Atlanta is so cool, and
58:18
they're incorporating Grid Life and FDR in the same weekend.
58:23
Oh my God. Yeah.
58:25
So there's like so much to see. Yeah.
58:27
Pro spec, Pro 1 and then Grid Life on top of that.
58:31
And I'm not sure. I'm sure, no, I'm about to say
58:34
I'm not sure. I'm sure maybe there's Rd.
58:36
Racing because gridlock's going to be there as well.
58:38
So that's a ton. If there's AFD event other than
58:42
Jersey that you want to go to, I would say that would be the one.
58:45
Yeah. Is there a real photo of this
58:47
Malcolm so I can like see? Oh, you want to I?
58:50
Like how I have you guys talking about FD so much.
58:53
Yeah, this is fun for me because I don't know shit about it.
58:56
Yeah, it is. We'll burn together.
58:57
I don't know shit about. It either but.
59:01
So. So how long have they been
59:02
raising here? A while now.
59:03
At Saint Louis. Yeah.
59:04
Oh, I kind of remember this. Oh wait, I also remember.
59:08
I feel like Saint Louis and Utah is definitely one of the newest
59:13
that news but they go through. That rumble there are my misses,
59:16
yeah. This is shut down.
59:18
Oh my God, yeah. Oh, they shut it down, right?
59:21
There, like, I don't know where they put the line.
59:23
I think they changed the line. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
59:25
It used to be like drift through the rumble strips.
59:27
They might have now made the line.
59:28
OK, so this is kind of like the last turn.
59:30
Yeah, but you have to come through here extension, I
59:33
believe there's like an outer zone or touch and go, OK, same
59:35
right against that wall and then outer zone all the way through
59:38
here. All right, Malcolm, now go back
59:39
to the other one now that we kind of OK, I see.
59:42
All right. So that's the end.
59:43
Yeah, but the entry. Is the entry in the second.
59:45
Entry is fast. Yeah, entry is fast and then no
59:48
such thing as going slow and for.
59:49
Me, yeah. Thank God.
59:51
That's the exciting part for all the species.
59:53
A lot. Yeah, there is something to be
59:56
said about though. Like slow technical drifting for
59:59
sure. Like.
1:00:00
Yeah, with 300 horsepower. Cars right?
1:00:01
Exactly. It is stupid when you're like no
1:00:05
I agree. I fully agree.
1:00:06
I think it's just like it's scaled down a little bit.
1:00:11
You know what, I say that, but then at the same time I think
1:00:13
about Formula Drift New Jersey, and I'm not a fan of that track.
1:00:17
But when Formula Drift is going on, it's fun to watch.
1:00:20
And it's like it's, you're right on top of it.
1:00:22
Like in the stands, you're just like, you're within, almost
1:00:26
like, yeah. You're.
1:00:27
Right there, Flash Zone at SeaWorld.
1:00:28
It feels like you're watching a gladiator.
1:00:30
Battle. Yeah, right.
1:00:31
Yeah. That's like as close as you can
1:00:33
get to it with with drifting. So that's why it's fun.
1:00:36
We're screaming out in the. And it's so cool.
1:00:38
Like the cars echo through the little tunnel that you go
1:00:41
through on the entry and stuff. Yeah, yeah.
1:00:43
And you're seeing the entire lap.
1:00:44
And it's cool because they do have a lot of power.
1:00:46
So it's it's ridiculous. You know, it's like tons of
1:00:49
smoke for no reason. And it's just a Figure 8, but
1:00:51
it's. We never ran crazy.
1:00:53
None of us drove that. I never drove it.
1:00:55
You would be the only one that. I'll give it a try.
1:00:57
Yeah. Trying to do that track like the
1:01:00
weekend after Atlanta. I mean after after drift.
1:01:03
Is it grippy? Yeah, because then you go to
1:01:05
walk it the tire like that's. Crazy.
1:01:07
On the track is so crazy all. Right.
1:01:09
Maybe we'll wait a little. Later.
1:01:12
Or something. Or if it rains, it's the
1:01:14
opposite. Let.
1:01:15
It go, go back, go back. I like when we're talking about
1:01:19
outer zones and all that stuff, I like that because then you
1:01:22
could kind of picture the car doing it in my head.
1:01:25
So then I'm like, oh, I, I. Yeah.
1:01:26
So what do I worry about here? So what's like the entry speed
1:01:29
for outer zone 1? I don't know, that's a good
1:01:31
question. Man.
1:01:31
OK, cool. You're gonna find out.
1:01:33
And on your next episode, you're gonna let us know.
1:01:35
There's some people out there probably tell you somewhere.
1:01:38
You know, 80 mile an hour or so. Yikes.
1:01:42
That's not that you never ripped your handbrake at 80.
1:01:45
It's fun. I did it at 100.
1:01:47
Oh yeah, that's fucking cool. And I almost died.
1:01:50
Oh yeah, that was the day I almost died.
1:01:52
That's. Also almost cool.
1:01:55
No, but yeah, yeah, 80 miles an hour.
1:01:57
Yeah. That's, that's pretty crazy.
1:01:58
Yeah. Like.
1:01:59
I don't I mean you, I I purposely like don't know what
1:02:03
mile an hour and stuff because I just want to know, Hey, what
1:02:07
gear should I be in for this? All right, so then I'm either
1:02:11
going to be in mid range or close to the top of that for my
1:02:13
entry. And then I'm going to keep in my
1:02:16
power band and keep in every zone after this.
1:02:19
And if the car is if I'm fighting the car to do that, not
1:02:23
just for this track, for any track, if it's a fight for me to
1:02:26
do that or feels unnatural, I want to just be able to
1:02:28
verbalize. Hey, I feels weird here because
1:02:30
I keep having the tendency to do this and then somebody else
1:02:35
that's way more qualified than me addresses what to do because
1:02:39
I feel like if I give my two cents, I don't know enough to
1:02:41
set up the car to do it the right way.
1:02:44
All I can do is tell you how I'm trying what I'm trying to do and
1:02:47
how it's making me fail to be where I'm supposed to.
1:02:49
And then somebody. Pretty much have to like totally
1:02:52
get in your head and understand how you drive as a driver, but
1:02:55
that's OK because they've seen you driving for the last Yeah,
1:02:58
right, you know. And what you would think within
1:03:01
testing and like everything else we're going to learn about each
1:03:04
other because there's also stuff I have to learn about like in
1:03:08
just communications, my communication skills to my
1:03:10
spotter definitely could use work for sure.
1:03:13
Your spotter, Chelsea didn't know.
1:03:14
Yeah, just yelling at him. Like fucking yeah.
1:03:18
I don't know. I don't know this.
1:03:19
Well, yeah. And so I counted at one point
1:03:21
how many times I said I don't know, but.
1:03:24
And he was just like he was getting so sick of hearing it.
1:03:26
I'm. Sure.
1:03:28
He's like, I get it, you don't know, Just explain what you
1:03:31
think. And at the end of the day, he
1:03:33
was like, OK, so I figured out one thing.
1:03:34
You keep calling forward bite, side bite and side bite, forward
1:03:37
bite, OK. And I was like, OK, so I still
1:03:39
don't know what those things are.
1:03:39
Great. Yeah.
1:03:40
You know. But yeah, that's some shit I
1:03:42
would do. Yeah, I don't know any of.
1:03:43
These well, 'cause it's like the opposite of what you, well, at
1:03:45
least someone like me would think.
1:03:46
Like, I don't know. I'm not gonna explain it because
1:03:49
I'm gonna be wrong. Go for it, go for it.
1:03:52
I'm going to be wrong too. This guy A.
1:03:53
License What is going? On like some kid is you.
1:03:56
Know who knows it? Carl knows it.
1:03:58
What? Let's hear your definition of
1:04:00
side bite versus forward bite and what they are and let's see
1:04:03
if it. Was what I think it is OK.
1:04:05
So if if a car is like, let's say you're in drift side bite to
1:04:10
me is like it's reluctancy to resist going reluctancy pass
1:04:17
past that point. You know what I mean?
1:04:20
Like resistance towards yeah, getting more angle or get on
1:04:24
that. Angle, but real.
1:04:25
Quick, I know what you're saying.
1:04:26
That's exactly what I do want. I do want that's.
1:04:28
What I think side bite is forward bite is when I am mid
1:04:31
drift and I get off the clutch and I'm on the gas and it.
1:04:36
Lurches forward. Yeah, I'm like, oh, this thing's
1:04:39
like forward, bite it. Has forward more momentum.
1:04:41
And I can get in the pocket of my tandem.
1:04:43
Partner, I'm going to admittedly say I I still think I get them
1:04:46
mixed up because I'm stupid, but I'm pretty sure side bite is
1:04:50
wherever your wheels are pointing is where the car is
1:04:53
going to be driving. Front wheels and forward bite is
1:04:57
wherever the rear wheels are pointing is where the car is
1:04:59
going to be driving. Yeah.
1:05:01
So OK, that's a even better way. But and what I had, the way I
1:05:06
had it reversed was because in drifting, you're sideways moving
1:05:11
forward. Whoa, this is that is actually
1:05:15
freaking terrifying. Yeah, you never seen ChatGPT?
1:05:18
Four, I've never used it so. Side bite Definition Side bite
1:05:22
refers to the grip generated by the tires when they are working
1:05:25
sideways during a drift. It is.
1:05:27
It's the force that helps the car maintain control as it
1:05:30
slides sideways. Around a corner that's real
1:05:32
generalized that yours, your definition was better.
1:05:35
My definition was right. Chelsea's gonna hear this and
1:05:38
beat your ass. He's.
1:05:39
Just gonna call me stupid. Well, front tires also
1:05:43
contribute, but to a lesser extent.
1:05:45
See, So I think I said it the opposite.
1:05:48
I did. Well, hopefully Chelsea can come
1:05:50
on here and explain this, all of us, because you.
1:05:51
Know you did. Forward bite refers to the grip
1:05:56
generated by the tires when they're driving the car.
1:05:58
I feel like we're solving a fucking.
1:06:00
I feel like this is word problem.
1:06:01
People listen. Yeah, I don't know.
1:06:02
No, they're, they're, they're, they're sitting in their chair
1:06:05
yelling. No, it's not.
1:06:07
No, it's not, no. It's not.
1:06:08
I could probably name those people that are doing that right
1:06:10
now. Yeah, Josh, delete.
1:06:12
Ohh, call Josh, we could figure this out right now.
1:06:14
We. Really could on.
1:06:15
No, don't don't. I don't want to either.
1:06:18
So. I think we're right though.
1:06:20
I think we're all right. I think are saying in our.
1:06:21
Own in our own heads, we know what.
1:06:24
So wait, I think I was right because too much forward bike
1:06:28
can lead to understeering cause the rear tire's gonna be
1:06:30
overpowering the front driving it the opposite of in drifting,
1:06:34
at least of where you're pointing the car.
1:06:36
So I think I might have had it right.
1:06:38
Yeah, no, that what you. By the time I go to a grid in
1:06:41
Atlanta, I have 100%. The main thing is you and
1:06:44
Chelsea need to be on the same page.
1:06:46
Yeah, that's. Something he knows at this
1:06:48
point. You got to be.
1:06:49
Shot. I don't know what I'm talking.
1:06:50
About you got your own language now I was going to say that it
1:06:52
sounds like your whole team is people that you know already.
1:06:56
So it's there's I don't know, like if I looked at if we were
1:07:00
ordering food or something and I looked at you without saying
1:07:02
anything. I can community.
1:07:03
Know what I want? So on a juicy platters, on a
1:07:07
huger, on a bigger scale, yeah, your pit crew and everybody like
1:07:12
that is going to know hopefully, yeah, what you're saying.
1:07:16
Right. Or at least Chelsea will for
1:07:19
Brian and Mike Cattell and beans.
1:07:21
Like they just have to know the car and then yeah, communicate
1:07:24
accordingly with like what? What the recommendation?
1:07:26
Is Chelsea that's the tertiary like well.
1:07:29
They just have to fix it and maintain it.
1:07:31
Yeah, correct. Chelsea has to tell them what?
1:07:34
What to do? Yeah, and what?
1:07:36
And tell me what to do as. Well, so.
1:07:39
Boss man Chelsea. Yeah, sick dude.
1:07:41
That's a dope name. It's a good team, man, yeah.
1:07:43
Boss man. Chelsea, what if I I'm not named
1:07:45
my team that? No, no, no, no, no, no.
1:07:47
I'm saying it's a good team of pick up guys.
1:07:49
Oh, you. Can name me whatever you.
1:07:50
Want I thought you said team name.
1:07:51
I think mulch mulch crew is good mulch crew.
1:07:54
Dude, I I think that when hop gets on the line, you know the
1:07:57
other persona is when you say hops full last name.
1:08:01
Yeah, yeah. I wonder if the announced.
1:08:02
I'm interested to see if it's going to be Hopper Kai Bosch
1:08:06
version of Hop Lamesian, Yeah. Dude like.
1:08:10
Yeah, good luck with that. What's your what's your nickname
1:08:12
going to be on there? I don't know.
1:08:13
Oh. That's going to be good.
1:08:15
The mulcher, bro. No, no.
1:08:18
God, someone. 'S going to.
1:08:19
Set you up. Yeah, we're getting shirts made
1:08:22
for Kaylee. Please.
1:08:25
Haley 1, Haley 2. And somebody's going to pull
1:08:27
this together. The mulcher, bro.
1:08:30
And now you're going to be known on the Internet as that.
1:08:32
Oh my God. You're so excited for something
1:08:35
I hate. Stops through the roof.
1:08:38
You get it, I get it. You do.
1:08:39
I can tell by your. I know.
1:08:41
I know how it feels. Be called shit you don't want to
1:08:44
be called. I get it.
1:08:44
Like the bovine, Like finish your fucking car.
1:08:47
Shit like that. Yeah.
1:08:48
Yeah, I'm not even. I wasn't even going.
1:08:50
To say it. Yeah, you said it.
1:08:51
Earlier I was checking it out. No, I didn't.
1:08:53
I think this is the most drifting we've done.
1:08:55
You've done me and Hop pushed the car earlier and he said.
1:08:57
This is the most drifting you've done, and I've pushed the car
1:09:00
around a corner. I was like, all right, cool man,
1:09:04
here's all your free shit. Thanks.
1:09:08
Get the hell out of. You all right?
1:09:10
So Saint Louis. Yeah, why are you hooked on
1:09:14
Saint Louis I? Want to know more?
1:09:15
I want to go. Look at Utah bro.
1:09:17
No look at Utah all. Right, that one.
1:09:19
St. Louis's beat.
1:09:20
All right, go to Utah. And on top of Utah too.
1:09:23
Not a nerd about it. The cars hate that track.
1:09:26
Let's hook up like Pluto Rd. in West Virginia right now.
1:09:31
Oh, that's yeah, that's because that's.
1:09:32
The. I think the Appalachian.
1:09:35
Well, they're doing it in West Virginia, so assumption would be
1:09:38
no, it's one that we've done like twice before.
1:09:40
OK, that's like the many of the drivers opinions don't.
1:09:43
Listen to hop. Go back to what?
1:09:45
No. Don't listen to the guest of
1:09:48
honor. Yeah, the guy who owns the
1:09:49
building. OK, wait.
1:09:50
So as you start there, you drive straight to a 90° turn.
1:09:53
OK, outer zone 1 hitter clip. 1. Oh nice.
1:09:57
OK, so how is this faster or slower than the other one you
1:09:59
think? I would think Atlanta's faster.
1:10:02
What about Saint Louis? Than than Saint Louis.
1:10:04
I think Saint Louis is. This is Utah.
1:10:06
That's not Utah. That's a oh, it is.
1:10:08
That looks so much. Not a good sign.
1:10:10
Hop. Hop this is not a damn it.
1:10:13
This is faster than Saint Louis. OK, tell me that.
1:10:17
That doesn't look like a little bit.
1:10:18
I wasn't looking for people yet. To scale, like I don't know if
1:10:22
it's just me, but the road looks skinnier and it looks like we're
1:10:25
taller, we're higher up. This is all blacktop here, so I
1:10:29
think the. Oh, I see.
1:10:31
And then I don't know what year is this the most recent one?
1:10:35
Because I think they were crossing over the rumble strips
1:10:37
for their outer Zone 1. Click that one. 2023 All right,
1:10:45
that's two years ago, that one. Yeah.
1:10:46
So they changed it for last year.
1:10:48
Like there was an outer zone past these rumble strips.
1:10:51
There was a bit of like. So is there any elevation change
1:10:53
on this or? Is it?
1:10:54
No, I think that's pretty flat. OK.
1:10:56
Atlanta has a lot of elevation change, and if Saint Louis has
1:11:00
it, it's very deceiving. It looks flat.
1:11:01
Yeah, it does look flat. So it's really just Atlanta as
1:11:04
far as elevation, which I mean that's good for you, you know, I
1:11:07
mean. I.
1:11:08
Wouldn't see much crazy. Shit, I would think Atlanta.
1:11:11
It seems like that elevation change is something that you
1:11:14
can't like discount because you're going uphill into that
1:11:18
keyhole where you then have to hit an outer zone.
1:11:20
So it could like slow you. Down.
1:11:21
Yeah, that makes much way harder.
1:11:23
Yeah, adding adding the variable of elevation change is just
1:11:26
going to make it more. Difficult and that entry is that
1:11:29
downhill is pretty significant as well it's.
1:11:31
Intimidating for sure, it seems. Well, I was talking straight up
1:11:34
like the height of the like the of Utah track.
1:11:38
I heard it like affects the tune or whatever like you're high.
1:11:43
I was hoping to have my car out there like far in advance to
1:11:48
make sure like there's no tuning, like things that have to
1:11:51
go on or whatever. Yeah, because I'm going to be
1:11:53
running a good bit of nitrous and stuff.
1:11:55
So like I would, I would hope. I want to do my due diligence
1:11:59
whenever we're allowed to practice there before they like
1:12:02
have the cut off, it's like 2 weeks before or whatever.
1:12:04
I would hope I get out there for that.
1:12:06
You're going to have to try to get out there with the car.
1:12:08
Yeah, I think Andrew Fable offered to drive the rig out for
1:12:11
that event because it's in August.
1:12:15
I'm busy at work, I'm always busy at work.
1:12:17
But to do that cross country trip, it's going to be a little
1:12:20
tough for me. So I was like, if you can get it
1:12:21
out there, yeah, helped me out a lot.
1:12:23
Then I just have to like double down on a plane ride and
1:12:26
hopefully it doesn't crash. Everyone seems everyone thing
1:12:28
right now. Yeah, what?
1:12:29
Did you see the one that flipped over?
1:12:31
But in. Canada but it but it landed and
1:12:33
then went like. That yeah yeah not the one in
1:12:36
Philly really is wild whoa all the like Ring camera footage of
1:12:39
that and so the. Chopper.
1:12:41
And. Everything.
1:12:42
Yeah. No, no, it was after the
1:12:43
chopper. You didn't see the Philly?
1:12:46
I don't do. That it went down.
1:12:49
Oh, did you? Did you hear that too?
1:12:52
Wait, when was this? It looks it looked like a
1:12:54
missile launch like attack. Are you telling me there's a
1:12:58
conspiracy? No.
1:12:59
Well, I'm sure there is 'cause there's like it was, I don't
1:13:02
know. I don't want to get into that.
1:13:04
Well, actually I will get into that, but.
1:13:06
He said fuck it, I will. Get no, no, no, there's a
1:13:08
there's a video where it's. Really close to where Reese.
1:13:10
To the right, the Times and The Sunday Times.
1:13:13
Make sure you don't put 21. K, it's a minute long.
1:13:17
It's got to be just a video. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:13:19
Here it is. So.
1:13:23
Yeah. There's the so there's a million
1:13:25
other clips, people's Ring cameras and stuff.
1:13:27
This is like route One and Roosevelt Blvd.
1:13:31
And I forget the cross street, but it's extremely.
1:13:34
Oh, here's some more. Oh yeah.
1:13:35
There you go. Dude I had no idea about this.
1:13:37
This thing took off like 2 minutes before and then
1:13:41
instantly just fell after taking off into the into the situation.
1:13:45
That's kind of weird. Yeah.
1:13:47
That's really. Fuck, that's.
1:13:49
Horrible. I texted Reese making sure he
1:13:51
was like good. And he's like, I'm sitting in a
1:13:53
crap load of traffic right now because of this.
1:13:55
Supposedly there was a kid on that plane that was returning
1:13:58
home from a life saving. Surgery.
1:14:00
Yeah, it just said a girl from Mexico or something.
1:14:02
Yeah, a seriously injured girl or something.
1:14:04
Yep. Well, now she's really injured.
1:14:07
She had just like gotten her successful, I think it was
1:14:10
cancer treatment, surgery and stuff and her mom was with her
1:14:14
and stuff. Her mom was with her.
1:14:16
Yeah. It was like a private medical.
1:14:19
Medical. Plain deal.
1:14:21
Whatever. Okay, so so who shot it down?
1:14:24
No, I, I think there's that what it is they were saying that this
1:14:28
company that owns these private charters and stuff, they had a
1:14:31
similar accident out of Mexico once before and stuff like that.
1:14:35
So and they followed different FAA regulations on prep and
1:14:40
stuff like that did. They what did they crash into?
1:14:43
They crashed into an intersection, a very busy
1:14:45
intersection in in how many people?
1:14:48
Died. I don't know about non
1:14:51
passengers on the plane, but everyone on the plane's dead.
1:14:53
This thing fell 30,000 feet per second.
1:14:56
Oh, they they were on to the ground.
1:14:57
They were up for a while then. I don't think so.
1:15:00
They weren't up. Well, 30,000 feet isn't fucking
1:15:03
high up there. No, like, that's how fast they
1:15:05
were, like 30,000 feet per second.
1:15:08
That's what Rich Wightman said, at least.
1:15:09
Oh well, he's. I trust too.
1:15:10
Yeah, definitely. Dude, yeah.
1:15:13
I mean, I saw the one in Canada and I'm watching.
1:15:16
I don't even see that. Canada's the the flip over on
1:15:19
landing one. Right.
1:15:20
The only thing I saw was somebody grabbing Yang.
1:15:21
I mean it was a windy fucking day but like.
1:15:24
Yeah, so like, it's weird though.
1:15:25
He like Lance is like Wing comes off and they just roll right
1:15:28
over. Augustal, dude.
1:15:31
So I used I used to fly a bit. I was never I never got my
1:15:35
license, but I was I was a student pilot.
1:15:38
I guess I still am, but I haven't flown in a while landing
1:15:42
never did it alone. Still I dude that was the
1:15:46
scariest shit. Every time.
1:15:48
Anytime that he that he made me think he was going to give me
1:15:51
the controls, I was like bro, if I fucking hit one of these
1:15:55
pedals the wrong way and the rudder goes.
1:15:57
We're done. We're just going to fucking
1:15:59
flip. But at least that's what I
1:16:01
think. But he made it seem he would.
1:16:03
He would always make it seem like it's not.
1:16:05
As serious. Exactly.
1:16:08
Because you got to remember you have all that air pressure as
1:16:10
you're landing. So maybe they're a lot heavier
1:16:12
than I'm making it seem, but still, dude, it's scary as fuck
1:16:15
because you're like, if I because you got to keep it
1:16:17
straight too. So you're coming from the air,
1:16:19
your pedals are controlling your rudder, but then you're
1:16:22
transitioning to the ground and now the pedals are controlling
1:16:24
which way the plane's going to pivot, right?
1:16:26
So it's like if you do it wrong, you just picture it tipping.
1:16:31
I don't know when I when I because Frankie bought me a
1:16:34
little gift card or gift gift. Yeah, he flew too.
1:16:37
Certificate for me to fly this. Oh yeah.
1:16:39
Did you do it yet? Yeah.
1:16:40
Nice. It was freaking awesome.
1:16:42
I wait until it was fall. Yeah, so it's nice and.
1:16:45
It's nice out, beautiful, but then so that landing thing that
1:16:48
Frankie's describing, accurate as fuck.
1:16:51
Because when we go to land you, first of all, if you've never
1:16:55
experienced it, it's like they just let you.
1:16:59
Do your thing in the air. Yeah, in the air, the guy was
1:17:02
like, all right, I'm going to let go now.
1:17:03
Sounds awesome. And then I'm like, or, well,
1:17:06
first of all, it started when we took off.
1:17:07
And then the guy's like pull up, pull up, pull up, pull up, pull
1:17:09
up. I'm like I'm.
1:17:11
Like you're. Like what?
1:17:12
It's like why am I doing this? Who am I?
1:17:14
Even talking to Carl. I I know it's just like I, I
1:17:16
thought this was just like a little introductory thing like.
1:17:19
They're always trying to get you to take off.
1:17:21
So we I, I pull up it's. Crazy.
1:17:23
And then apparently. Like No Fear.
1:17:26
Trust me, it's it doesn't make any sense.
1:17:28
When I was there and and they were talking to me, I was like,
1:17:30
wait a minute, I'm you're just gonna let me fly this shot?
1:17:33
I'm thinking about like when you go to like a go Kart place, they
1:17:37
don't give you full power of the go Kart for a while.
1:17:40
You're on the ground. You're like in an airplane with
1:17:41
some dude and he's like, yeah, go ahead, junior.
1:17:43
Yeah, yeah. In their head they're like, Oh
1:17:45
well, I could just take control. It's like, can you?
1:17:46
Yeah, 'cause what if I'm strong in the?
1:17:48
Fast. You know what I mean?
1:17:49
Oh yeah. Overpowered.
1:17:51
What if I'm stronger? What if I'm stronger than you
1:17:53
and I decided today's the day we're gonna die?
1:17:56
Gotta have something that like kills your control.
1:17:58
No they don't. It's all cable.
1:17:59
Treated. No, it's crazy when.
1:18:02
When you're you're controlling both of the joysticks.
1:18:05
He would have to overpower you. When?
1:18:07
He's when he's moving it. Yours is moving.
1:18:09
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, all nuts.
1:18:10
When we were going up into the air, as soon as them fucking
1:18:14
wheels came off the ground, it just did not feel safe at all.
1:18:19
At all. I called I I think I called you
1:18:22
after. Yeah, dude, it felt like a
1:18:23
Miata. When it gets a big gust.
1:18:25
Ohhh yeah. And you put it in the air and
1:18:27
that shit was just going like this.
1:18:29
And I'm like. This you start panicking, 'cause
1:18:31
you're like, you're like, wait a minute, I'm doing this and then
1:18:33
it was cool. It is once you're up in the air,
1:18:35
but what I'm. What you just said reminded me.
1:18:38
Beans was following me Saturday on the highway and it was like
1:18:42
60 mile an hour gusts and he's in his little Corolla.
1:18:45
I'm in like my pickup truck. Yeah.
1:18:47
So I felt it like shake me. I'm like oh and I look back
1:18:50
Beans was like in the shoulder. Just.
1:18:54
Fighting for it like counter steer.
1:18:56
Just like he's on a pirate ship. Just fucking like holding.
1:18:59
That landing though, so you don't land it yourself, but when
1:19:04
I was going that the knowledge that the controls both moved at
1:19:09
the same time I want to say. You were.
1:19:12
You were ghosting him. I was fully moving it and he was
1:19:15
like, oh, wait a minute and then just stop talking and then I was
1:19:19
just doing stuff and we were on the ground.
1:19:22
So you kind of landed it. Crazy.
1:19:24
Yeah. And then I was like, was I
1:19:26
supposed to do any of that? And he goes typically not but.
1:19:29
You did good, yeah. Good job.
1:19:31
We're here. What?
1:19:32
What? We were going to die.
1:19:34
Have you ever watched people landing at E town like on a
1:19:37
windy day? I.
1:19:38
Haven't, but I go back. When like the drag ship was
1:19:40
open, I think I was hanging out with Mike Knapp and like, it was
1:19:43
petty and stuff. It was just like us near and we
1:19:46
were watching all these planes land.
1:19:47
I was like kind of breezy. They would get, they would be in
1:19:50
full like like, you know, parallel to the ground, fine,
1:19:53
looks good. And every single plane at a
1:19:55
certain altitude pretty close to landing, they would catch like
1:19:58
the same stream of air and go like this and then just land.
1:20:02
So every plane was going like this and they go.
1:20:06
And that's the pilot going like that really quick to correct it
1:20:09
before they hit the ground, like please.
1:20:11
After the first one, I looked at Mike.
1:20:12
I'm like, dude, what was that? And he's like, every plane's
1:20:14
going to do that. Today.
1:20:15
I was like, what? Do they know?
1:20:19
Yeah. I mean, why do we not have they
1:20:20
usually? Here.
1:20:21
Bro, we have to. Everyone yells at us too, 'cause
1:20:23
we we haven't. Yeah, I freaking love talking.
1:20:24
I'll hit him up for Mike. Call.
1:20:26
We were at the shot. Like 6 hours though 'cause he,
1:20:29
he, yeah, he knows. Clear out the whole day, dude
1:20:31
yeah, when I really. Wanted to get him and his
1:20:34
brother on here, but yeah, yeah, just.
1:20:36
That'd be cool. History of E town.
1:20:38
Mike calls you Killer. It's a good day.
1:20:40
Oh yeah. Hey, Killer.
1:20:42
Oh shit, Yeah, I'm ready today. He's.
1:20:45
Joining the V8 crew. Oh.
1:20:47
Yeah. I convinced him to get I didn't
1:20:51
do the convincing. He like in the midst of tanning
1:20:54
with my brown car was like, I need the replica of this setup
1:20:57
and I was like, it's a Cam with an LS3.
1:21:00
He's like, got it And then. What did he have?
1:21:03
A Jay-Z. Yeah, well, he's got multiple S
1:21:06
thirteens, like all those cars still be in existence.
1:21:09
I think he had two Jay-Z hatches, though, and he was
1:21:11
like, I don't need two of the same car.
1:21:15
Yeah, yeah, I'll put AV8 in one of them.
1:21:16
Yeah. So he's gonna do that.
1:21:18
Well, at least he ran a Jay-Z for a while.
1:21:21
He's a Jay-Z car. He's gonna have an LS car.
1:21:24
He's gonna have like. He needs AKA car.
1:21:26
Does he? No, he needs one.
1:21:27
Oh yeah. No, he does not need a kid.
1:21:30
Why not? You it's so fun being in a low
1:21:32
horsepower car and it's coming from someone who's gone way in
1:21:36
the wrong direction of saying that I but.
1:21:38
Never experienced that end, but the low end.
1:21:41
We're having fun down here. This is great.
1:21:43
Carl, you should. I mean, we're a little late now,
1:21:46
like winter's almost over, but you should come too, of course.
1:21:48
But you don't ever want to go trifting.
1:21:52
Oh, are you? Going to be.
1:21:53
Late. Oh my God, when?
1:21:55
Chris. When Chris sent that paragraph,
1:21:58
I Chris, he was the best proposal he ever.
1:22:03
He's like guys, we need to do this.
1:22:04
I spent X amount of money. It was a good deal and tons of
1:22:07
fun. I might.
1:22:08
So what's the situation here? The.
1:22:09
Situation is, so I don't know exactly the coordinating of
1:22:14
event part. Like it's almost like make sure
1:22:16
the ice is thick enough and that the FDF race shop guys seem to
1:22:20
be the ones that are the like managing this lake or at least
1:22:23
getting onto it to do these events.
1:22:25
But basically near their shop, within 30 minutes, there's this
1:22:29
resort lake thing that they plow a track because it's always snow
1:22:35
covered. And then you go out and you go.
1:22:38
You put studs in your tires and you go drifting on a frozen
1:22:42
lake. It's kind of sick.
1:22:43
It's sick. It's.
1:22:45
Sick until you go into the lake. No, I know they, I was worried
1:22:48
about that and they were like this.
1:22:50
Wait, was that in Canada? Yeah, it's like near Ontario.
1:22:53
It's in Trent, Canada. Yeah, that shit's frozen, I'm
1:22:55
sure. It's like 21 inches thick.
1:22:58
Dice Dimitri had his F450 drifting on the lake.
1:23:01
That's insane. OK.
1:23:02
Oh, that's a lot. Of weight, Yeah, well.
1:23:05
Yeah, that's fucking crazy. It was to the point I got a
1:23:09
little bit of the short end of the stick on the last time we
1:23:12
went cause within like the first two hours I blew the clutch out
1:23:16
of like my car. So I ended up just having to
1:23:18
like throw it into first, jam it into second and then like left
1:23:21
foot brake instead of having a clutch which I made the best of.
1:23:24
It was fun. It was really fun actually.
1:23:27
But I also ended up in the snowbank more than anyone that
1:23:29
was there that day. But like, you can go as your
1:23:34
car's not overheating. You just continue drifting.
1:23:37
Like, I was out there for like an hour and 20 minutes straight
1:23:40
and then I was starting to run out of gas and I was like,
1:23:43
'cause. The tires aren't wearing.
1:23:44
No. And you found 20 minutes?
1:23:46
Hop like literally straight. Cause of the of.
1:23:49
Just drifting on this lake, yeah.
1:23:51
And you're and you're it. Was in.
1:23:53
I have this like 325 four door shit box that I have to fix so
1:23:59
Haley can learn how to drift, but that's the perfect kind of
1:24:02
car to do it with. Yeah, there was like 800 BMWs
1:24:06
and then like two other cars and one of them was Chris Naps.
1:24:09
Dude, Chris. Chris took his car that he had.
1:24:12
Wait, Yeah, here it is. That's Russo's car.
1:24:16
What is the texture like? Like what's me?
1:24:18
Running into Grant. What's the forward biting?
1:24:21
Side biting. Situation, the studs work
1:24:24
phenomenal. So when you start to lose your
1:24:26
front end, you have to use your left foot brake a good bit to
1:24:29
keep it in check. But this is like, yeah, so
1:24:34
that's. Me.
1:24:37
That's Dimitri. Yeah, that's me and the lead of
1:24:39
Wilkerson. It's so much fun.
1:24:41
Guys like BMWs. For some reason that was just
1:24:45
like the car of choice so. Not this one now this one right
1:24:48
here. LS400 baby come on that is a
1:24:51
big. And you can it's so good easy to
1:24:54
practice close tanamine 'cause you're you are moving slower of
1:24:57
course. Look at that LS.
1:25:00
Because you're on. I ran into.
1:25:01
That the plow is. I ran into that tow truck by
1:25:04
accident. What the plow is fuck?
1:25:08
That's cool, man. Yeah, it's definitely a.
1:25:10
Lot of fun there's. Definitely some next level shit,
1:25:12
right? Now, Oh yeah, Oh yeah, there we
1:25:14
go. Send that to Toyota right away.
1:25:16
The key is there's a place near us, I'm not going to say it on
1:25:19
here because we need the studs for ourselves, but they seem to
1:25:22
do the best job of installing studs onto tires because a lot
1:25:25
of other guys are having problems with studs flying out.
1:25:27
I was going to say that. All of us like that, use that
1:25:30
tire shop. We our studs.
1:25:32
I'm still have a set of tires good to go for like the next day
1:25:35
or the next event. 51 out of 10 How'd you How much did you have?
1:25:40
Fun. All right, let's say you're
1:25:41
really cold. You don't want to stay in the
1:25:42
parking lot. You walk into the resort, they
1:25:44
have food, they have drinks. You just hang out.
1:25:47
Really. My God, that is like and.
1:25:50
How and how far is this from here?
1:25:52
So it took us like six. Well, from here it's probably a
1:25:55
little closer, but from me it was like 6 1/2 hours, OK.
1:25:59
Yeah, normal Canadian border trip, Yeah, but like you guys
1:26:02
are on the. Border people were like, you're
1:26:04
going to race this car. And then the one lady was like,
1:26:08
you know, it's like pretty warm and the ice is kind of thin.
1:26:10
And I was like, it is. And she's like, do you not know
1:26:13
what anything you're doing? I was like not really no, but I
1:26:16
do have my passport. And definitely don't have a
1:26:20
bunch of drugs in the car. No, no, no, no, dude, that yeah,
1:26:25
when Chris came back from that. I like when Chris gets like
1:26:29
these ideas. Super hyper.
1:26:30
Dude. And then he just starts cooking
1:26:32
up ideas and you see it happen and you're like, oh gosh, here
1:26:35
it comes. He does it with like engine
1:26:36
swaps. Too, I've noticed.
1:26:37
Dude, the 8 HP idea, were you there for that?
1:26:41
Did he try to? I mean, I've heard it.
1:26:42
Did he try to tell you the idea? Yeah.
1:26:44
The Trailblazer engine, right? We talked about that for a
1:26:48
little while when I went there for the the drum that one day.
1:26:51
Yeah, yeah, he loves that. Thing he ruined he well not
1:26:56
ruined, but he altered my algorithm talking about those
1:26:58
engines so much because now they come up on like my reels and
1:27:03
people are like these Trailblazer engines are so easy
1:27:06
to make high horsepower all you have to do and then it's like a
1:27:09
laundry list of not easy things to do and they're like and then
1:27:12
you make 600 horsepower like wait a minute they're like you
1:27:18
have to get the head from this generation and then you have to
1:27:21
get the bottom end from this one.
1:27:22
I was like this sounds like an SRV.
1:27:24
I don't know, that shit is not easy either like.
1:27:26
I like, I like when Chris gets amped up about shit, you know?
1:27:30
I fucking love when he fucking. Of course.
1:27:32
Yeah, like you just maybe not putting.
1:27:36
He tried to explain to me that you shorten the you shorten the
1:27:38
pan. Do it in his voice, please.
1:27:41
And his boy. He's pretty close to his voice,
1:27:42
right? Now he's really good at it.
1:27:44
Dude, yeah, you just got to shorten the pan like but like
1:27:49
drops in the car, the hood is going, it's going to be sticking
1:27:52
out of the hood. The tall, tall engine, the tall
1:27:55
engine. What are?
1:27:56
You meant to be in a trailblazer.
1:27:57
I like when Chris gets ideas because like, they're fucking
1:27:59
ideas and then he does them sometimes and I'm like, holy
1:28:02
shit, like this happened, huh? Like.
1:28:09
Malcolm, click the on my Instagram, the second the video
1:28:12
in the middle. Yeah.
1:28:14
This is a good ice drifting thing.
1:28:17
I don't know who these people are still, but they were really
1:28:21
fun to tandem with. And This is why he started
1:28:24
playing the bongos on our hood. Yeah.
1:28:27
And then I got scared and I, like, darted off.
1:28:28
I was like, all right, that's enough.
1:28:29
I don't think I just hit it off. Those guys, those guys aren't
1:28:32
going home. They're like on their way home,
1:28:35
you know, pull on to here like. What Car?
1:28:38
What Car are you in right now? Oh, that's the Beamer.
1:28:40
Yeah, I'm in the beamer. I think that's Kenrick filming.
1:28:43
OK. Oh dude, wait before I go to the
1:28:46
bathroom to go fucking drop the dress to to piss.
1:28:50
No, you can't. You can't poop in that bathroom.
1:28:51
You can, but. Oh no, I'm glad you had to tell
1:28:54
us what you were. Doing I feel like I feel like
1:28:56
Kendrick was probably having the best.
1:28:59
Yeah, he kept yelling. So he would film something and
1:29:02
on the next lap he would try and show me the film of the video
1:29:05
while I'm while you're drifting. I was like, I got to pay
1:29:07
attention. And then he'd like yell some
1:29:09
more orders. He'd be like, get closer to
1:29:10
Dimitri. I'm going to open his door while
1:29:12
we're drifting. And this ice dripping shit's
1:29:15
kind of fun. Yeah, hurry up, I want to.
1:29:17
Take. You would have a blast, yeah.
1:29:18
Yeah. That and then you and then you
1:29:20
just go inside, get some hot chocolate.
1:29:22
Yeah, right. And like, the food in there was
1:29:24
practically pretty good. That's that's what he wanted.
1:29:26
Poutine there like it's just this big gravy smorgasbord.
1:29:30
About this shit, that's pretty good.
1:29:31
Never had. This no, your digestive system
1:29:33
might not be like the best shape after it, but.
1:29:36
Yeah, but disco fries are kind of the same thing, though, I'm
1:29:38
not gonna lie. Yeah, it is.
1:29:40
It's just like a higher cheese content.
1:29:42
Malcolm was. It was.
1:29:42
It was. Poon Tang, What is?
1:29:44
It poop Pootie. Pootie Tang.

1:30:18
Literally 100% that's how Malcolm was looking at you right
1:30:21
there. Yeah, that's how he was looking
1:30:23
at her bro when you were bitching at him before this
1:30:25
podcast. So what?
1:30:27
Betty Ugar. All right, look up this food.
1:30:29
Now I want to see this. Poop, but I'm not going to tell

we're all over the place. Here.
1:30:41
Oh, so it is like fries. Yeah, it is fries cheese.
1:30:44
And gravy, yeah, but it's like some weird cheese.
1:30:46
It's like, yeah, it's like cheese curd type.
1:30:49
Yeah, about, but it looks no. Oh, it's Canadian.
1:30:51
Oh, it's. French.
1:30:52
I'm just like a Canadian thing. I'm a French Canadian.
1:30:55
Cheese hater, are you? Yeah.
1:30:57
I would probably be skinnier if I was a cheese hater.
1:31:00
Yeah, You know, I, I realized that not eating cheese is
1:31:03
definitely, I mean, I do eat like I eat a cheeseburger every
1:31:06
now and then. I'm not going to be like, oh,
1:31:07
take the cheese off, but like, I'm not going to eat some.
1:31:09
Like you're not doing like extra cheese cheese steaks.
1:31:12
I'm not having like cheese on cracker.
1:31:14
I'm not doing any of that shit. I'm not doing it.
1:31:15
It smells like shit. I've never been into it, so I
1:31:18
don't know, that's just me, but damn.
1:31:20
But it's a good thing to not eat so.
1:31:22
Yeah, it's true. I guess I think like.
1:31:23
All dairy in general, we're pretty much not supposed to.
1:31:26
Be dairy is not really great, but Oreo's milk I can't.
1:31:31
I can't deny that shit. I'm sorry.
1:31:34
Were you here for the revelation of Malcolm being Pootie Tang
1:31:37
from? Over there, I open the bathroom
1:31:42
door. It's just fries on.

1:31:53
is? Look.
1:31:54
Is that not Malcolm right there? That's.

this whole winter it's been going like 14° and then you'll
1:34:08
get a week of like 40 and you're like ohh wait this is nice and
1:34:11
you're like wait it's still 40° I.
1:34:13
Think you guys have been getting colder weather down there this
1:34:16
the first week we've been really.
1:34:18
Really. Yeah.
1:34:18
We got ripped in January. Like the beginning of it.
1:34:21
It was. Do you?
1:34:22
Remember that I don't. I think it's a little.
1:34:24
Warmer might not live right here, but he's also not all the
1:34:28
way. Over there, just not outside
1:34:30
much buddy. No, trust me, we're outside.
1:34:33
The doors are open. But it this isn't cold.
1:34:36
It's been what? Today was what, 20 this week?
1:34:38
Has been horrible, Yeah. It's been like 25, Max.
1:34:41
There's been a horrible night, like when we walk outside.
1:34:44
You're right, it was a cold week.
1:34:45
It was like, yeah. It was.
1:34:47
Weeks dude. I remember because we were
1:34:49
outside destroying jeeps. Yes, you.
1:34:51
Were there for. Those two weeks where it was, we
1:34:55
were hitting record-breaking lows in New Jersey.
1:34:58
OK, all of the farm kids are outside.
1:35:01
Yeah, I swear to you, those two. I remember it was so cold.
1:35:05
I, I had to tell all of my tractor trailer guys like we
1:35:07
can't run the trucks, like the fuel is going to freeze.
1:35:10
And we like we're trying anti gel and stuff.
1:35:12
And I was like, you know what we're calling it?
1:35:14
Wait for is it better? Isn't.
1:35:16
It better to run them. Are you saying you have them
1:35:17
inside usually? So you.
1:35:18
Have them on heaters. Like it wouldn't matter.
1:35:21
Like let's say you put them on a block heater and then you'd
1:35:24
start it up that morning and you'd go hit the road.
1:35:26
Your fuel is like turning into gel.
1:35:28
It was just so cold. But wouldn't it?
1:35:31
So basically you just you need to let it sit, turn to gel and
1:35:34
let it sit well it's and wait till it warms.
1:35:37
Yeah, right. The fuel will then turn back
1:35:39
into like regular wow. Yeah, you know how I know that
1:35:42
started that diesel truck we got when it was freezing out.
1:35:45
What? Oh, and it's turned itself off.
1:35:47
The fuel line just blew right there.
1:35:50
Just shot out. Boo no I just cracked and then
1:35:52
it was leaking diesel. Hope my landlord doesn't hear
1:35:54
this, but yeah so. What diesel?
1:35:57
Was OHH right? No it's ohh my gosh my dad had a
1:36:01
2500 oh two. Same truck as mine, but a 2500
1:36:04
diesel and he was gonna get rid of it.
1:36:06
And I'm like, do not get rid of that fucking truck.
1:36:07
Yeah, I grew up with that truck. So plus, what year is it?
1:36:10
2002, yeah. Yeah, that's 2000. 1.
1:36:13
Yeah, if it's not rotting away, it's.
1:36:14
Completely rotted away. Yeah, the drivetrain's pretty
1:36:17
good. Steak is really.
1:36:19
Rot they made me put in the back of the building, so I asked.
1:36:23
Why don't you just pull maybe like the drivetrain out of it or
1:36:27
what? Do you put a whole something?
1:36:29
What I want to do is swap the frame.
1:36:32
Yeah. But The thing is the cabs rusty,
1:36:35
so it's like. And you're like hierarchy of
1:36:37
like projects, where's that? And then where's like the drift
1:36:40
car? My car is above everything okay?
1:36:44
So you just haven't started any of these projects?
1:36:46
First of all, my car has definitely started.
1:36:48
I did see welding rod and stuff in it.
1:36:50
Yeah, there's a lot of things going.
1:36:51
On looks like new welds. In there, I just don't talk
1:36:53
about it because it's not worth talking about till till there's
1:36:55
primer on everything but that. My car's here.
1:36:59
The truck, unfortunately the truck was the next one.
1:37:01
But unfortunately I think I'm moving it to like the back
1:37:04
burner because I'm looking around the shop.
1:37:05
I'm like how the fuck am I supposed to take a truck?
1:37:10
Yeah, you need like a higher ceiling.
1:37:12
For sure. I'm just like, where am I going
1:37:14
to put all this shit? You know, you call for that kind
1:37:15
of job. Who, Tom?
1:37:19
Oh, you did not. He's not.
1:37:21
I don't. Think he's gonna call Be here.
1:37:24
I need just more space like where am I going to put that
1:37:26
fucking truck? There's been so many times this
1:37:28
winter where I was like, this Jeep's totaled.
1:37:31
I know I keep bringing up Jeeps, but it's been my life.
1:37:34
Unfortunately, I was like, this Jeep's totaled.
1:37:36
There's no way we're going to fix.
1:37:37
There's no way it's running. And then like Beans, Tom and
1:37:40
Bobby are just like, and Steve Payne, they like scurry around
1:37:44
the Jeep and then like 2 AutoZone strips later, we're
1:37:46
like back in the woods. I'm like, Oh yeah, we're good.
1:37:49
Those guys can fix anything. Those guys you named can, Yeah.
1:37:54
They take the Dream Team anything.
1:37:56
And they really showed me the limits of an automobile, dude,
1:37:59
because I swear to you, I've never seen half of the stuff.
1:38:03
I know I've never had so much faith in a Crown Victoria.
1:38:06
Yet. Until.
1:38:07
Recently. No wonder cops used them for.
1:38:10
Yeah, that makes sense, right? Or ACT or yeah, CTS is that.
1:38:15
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that shit was crib, but I don't understand how
1:38:18
Bobby's car is fucking still alive, That Cadillac.
1:38:20
It's not. No, it's finally dead.
1:38:22
Yeah, I think he junked them. Yeah, I think they're not.
1:38:24
Bro, I I can't. I couldn't.
1:38:25
Even there'll be new ones to come, I'm sure.
1:38:27
But he, he was driving that shit for a while, like.
1:38:29
Yeah, once, once I was there, the day he like discovered it
1:38:33
was like, well, he was good at drifting it and it was just like
1:38:37
a whole new world to. Him.
1:38:38
Yeah, he. Talked to me about that.
1:38:40
He was like, yeah. Hop took a lap.
1:38:42
Haley took a lap. None of us could do it.
1:38:44
Mike Knapp took a lap. And he just like put his arm on
1:38:47
the door so he wouldn't move in the seat.
1:38:49
And he just was like driving like this floor in it.
1:38:52
And he did like 3 laps in a row, like perfect.
1:38:54
I was like, damn. Bobby kind of rips in his
1:38:56
Cadillacs DS. Yeah.
1:38:59
Yeah, I don't. I mean, I can't tell you one
1:39:02
thing. After seeing him abuse that
1:39:03
thing, I was like, I guess some American cars are fucking built
1:39:06
pretty well, yeah. What was that AV?
1:39:08
That's AV 6. I think.
1:39:10
So I don't remember. I just remember never.
1:39:12
Run on all of them. We.
1:39:13
Didn't pop the hood much either. I the yeah, the rear end was
1:39:16
just like completely gone, but. Well, yeah, 'cause you had to
1:39:19
cut the quarters for 290 fives or.
1:39:21
Yeah, they had Valenos on the back.
1:39:24
Yeah, you don't remember that? I just, I'm trying to remember
1:39:27
what, what was the vehicle that was trying to get up the hill?
1:39:30
Was it that? No, it was.
1:39:33
It was the Cadillac. Cadillac.
1:39:36
Bobby owns a Cadillac, but for those who don't know, Bobby also
1:39:38
has a Jeep and Bobby was driving the Cadillac.
1:39:43
I know Steve was driving the Cadillac and Bobby was driving
1:39:46
the Jeep. So Bobby was taking two of his
1:39:48
cars and they were he was just hitting them against.
1:39:50
Each other you guys were. Just get him up a hill.
1:39:51
He was trying to. Bump it up the night you went
1:39:53
there. Oh, and then he gave me his Jeep
1:39:55
Wrangler. And then I smashed Kendrick's
1:39:57
window. Yep.
1:39:58
Yeah, but you were taking the Jeep and trying to push the car
1:40:01
up and I'm like, guys, you're just running the car over.
1:40:05
We've done that a couple. Times like maybe we should like
1:40:07
move it and then I and then I realized, oh wait, we're not
1:40:09
actually. Joined.
1:40:10
No, no way. No, no, no.
1:40:12
But OK, OK, we're talking about a lot of the the fuck ups here,
1:40:17
OK? But there's been success.
1:40:19
There has been success. There was this one day where you
1:40:22
guys built a bridge, or I don't know if you were there for the
1:40:24
bridge, but they built a bridge to cross the Creek that had
1:40:28
ruined everybody's day weeks prior, the one that we were
1:40:31
talking about. They did.
1:40:33
They did build a bridge. They got to where they wanted to
1:40:35
go. That's farming, baby.
1:40:38
That is farm kids stuff. Yeah, that and this bridge fit.
1:40:41
Bobby's wide like you. You've seen Bobby's Jeep.
1:40:44
It's like not like a normal. I don't know a lot about Jeeps.
1:40:46
It's wide, but it looks. You know how to read a measuring
1:40:49
tape? It, it looks, yeah, it looks
1:40:51
like they measured it really to Bobby's Jeep.
1:40:54
And everybody's truck is more narrow than that, so it's fine
1:40:58
across the Creek. And it was still there after
1:41:00
that storm too. Amazing engineers.
1:41:04
I was just sitting. Back I was like, why are we
1:41:06
talking about planes? And I was like, Oh yeah, because
1:41:08
those planes crashed. Yeah, we still, I feel like.
1:41:11
That brings me back to that, that Canada one.
1:41:14
Yeah. So it flips, right?
1:41:15
We saw a video like yesterday about this plane crash.
1:41:18
The kid gets out, he's filming, right?
1:41:21
And he's like filming and he comes out of the plane and, and
1:41:23
someone's like escorting. Them out and they're telling
1:41:25
them like drop the phone. Yeah, she's like, put your phone
1:41:27
away. Yeah.
1:41:27
I was like, are you out of your fucking mind?
1:41:29
You're screaming at me. Your fucking plane just flipped.
1:41:31
Not to mention the lawsuit that's about to come down on
1:41:34
you. Yeah.
1:41:34
Dude, I was like. 60 passengers you should just like let them
1:41:37
get out of. There, that shit was crazy to
1:41:39
me. I was like, she's.
1:41:40
Really. I don't know.
1:41:41
There was another video where like motherfucker grabbed like
1:41:45
right here. Get out of the plane like.
1:41:48
What? Yeah, you've never seen that.
1:41:49
Oh. They're going to be a lot of
1:41:50
lawsuits. I don't know, you know what,
1:41:53
we're pretty far in. Wags commented on it.
1:41:56
Oh no, Oh God, it just said. I'm so jealous.
1:42:05
I had to click it to make sure it was Wags's account.
1:42:09
So I was like, what is Wags's comment doing on this video?
1:42:14
It's funny when you see your friends comment like just in
1:42:16
the. Like I'm so jealous.
1:42:17
And then then I had to watch again.
1:42:19
I'm like, what is he talking about?
1:42:20
Like being in a plane crash and somebody literally like pushed
1:42:23
the one. I was like, maybe it was a guy.
1:42:25
So I mean, not that that would really matter, but.
1:42:28
Probably not like Wags. No.
1:42:30
No. No, I mean, like in the world,
1:42:32
like as two human beings, you shouldn't be grabbing somebody's
1:42:35
yams to push him out of a building.
1:42:37
Boy or girl. Yeah.
1:42:39
Bro they're in a flipped over plane.
1:42:40
No grabbing anything, no but you out.
1:42:42
But this one dude in this video, I don't know.
1:42:45
I was just like, everybody in the comments is like, hey, I
1:42:47
know they flipped in a plane, but did he have to grab girls?
1:42:50
Ass So what's going on with these planes?
1:42:54
Yeah. I don't know, there's a whole
1:42:56
you could go either direction with this conspiracy theory,
1:42:59
political theory. AI is taking over the plane I
1:43:03
think. There's.
1:43:03
Maybe like some reasonable explanation for it, but none of
1:43:07
us are going to have it. We're just going to have what we
1:43:09
read on the Internet. Yeah, I don't know, Maybe
1:43:11
they're just not going to pay enough.
1:43:12
So I went through. I went through a let me think
1:43:15
about this like a rich person for a second.
1:43:17
Like nice. Always money with.
1:43:18
You. Yeah, No.
1:43:20
Well, you got to think about, it's usually not about money.
1:43:23
It's because I don't have that. It's usually about like, how do
1:43:26
we get money? But.
1:43:27
OK, so give me since. We still don't have that, but I
1:43:30
tried to think about it like a rich person, right?
1:43:32
So the planes are crashing somebody who's benefiting from
1:43:35
the plane crashing. So then I looked at what airline
1:43:38
crashed and then I looked at the stock price for that airline or
1:43:44
at least what I used was it was it was kind of during like what
1:43:48
election time, so. Well, right after I.
1:43:51
Feel like it's right after right after.
1:43:53
So. Because there's a whole theory
1:43:54
of like, what Trump's doing to create this, too.
1:43:57
Oh, oh, OK, so this is this has nothing to do with that's why
1:44:00
any political party. I just this was what I thought
1:44:04
is so. What is the stock price?
1:44:06
I googled American Airlines and I was because I think.
1:44:10
They did. They did 9/11 that.
1:44:12
Week. Mm hmm.
1:44:15
I might add that into my little notebook, and now I might put in
1:44:17
my little notebook that I looked up American Airlines, just
1:44:21
purely on the fact that it said American in the name, and it
1:44:27
went up a little bit that week. Wasn't it a bunch of Delta
1:44:30
planes that have? Been and it was, it was Delta
1:44:32
and it was D1. And so that's why I tried to
1:44:35
find one that wasn't that. And I was like.
1:44:39
But then you got to put that against how many Delta and
1:44:41
American Airline planes are flying compared to other
1:44:43
companies and this and that, and maybe there's just more planes.
1:44:46
Flying, I don't know, I just saw another video though of Spirit
1:44:49
Airlines. They're like, yo, you guys were
1:44:51
talking shit about me before, like Spirit's good.
1:44:55
But I tried to think about it from like a more.
1:44:57
I guess the technical term would be like a macro like a higher
1:45:01
like not not down here. It would take a lot of effort
1:45:06
and power for American Airlines to pull this off.
1:45:08
Yeah, it wasn't. I don't know.
1:45:10
Well, I know they were all remember they were.
1:45:12
There was this whole thing with with the pilots not being
1:45:15
trained well enough and all that shit.
1:45:16
Yeah. And wasn't there things I don't
1:45:18
know about recently but like going over their hours and still
1:45:22
being like pushed in to like being allowed to fly?
1:45:25
And then they had all those technical problems with Boeing
1:45:28
and all that, yeah, or something so.
1:45:31
That's a good point too cause a bunch I forget what plane it was
1:45:34
but they had to recall like all of them after a bunch of crash.
1:45:38
The doors was they? Would blow open or.
1:45:41
Something they would fly open. Yeah, dude, I was in AI, was in
1:45:44
Vancouver and we. Dry much and this year I have to
1:45:46
fly a lot and I'm like what you. Do have to?
1:45:50
Fly a do's in the mouth. Yeah, why?
1:45:52
Why don't you fly? Are you scared or something?
1:45:54
Well. What's?
1:45:56
What's the worst thing that happened?
1:45:58
I mean, driving a Dooley to this shop from Philly in rush hour is
1:46:02
probably more dangerous than flying anywhere.
1:46:05
Yeah, probably if you're taking the Turnpike, I'd.
1:46:07
Rather take a freaking sailboat through the Bermuda Triangle,
1:46:10
OK? Calm down dude.
1:46:12
I don't know. I don't I I feel like years ago
1:46:15
there wasn't really as many. Never publicized, remember.
1:46:19
Like the flight to Malaysia or whatever.
1:46:21
Yeah, that. One plane that went missing.
1:46:23
Yeah. That was the last time in real
1:46:24
life. You mean it was the last time
1:46:26
that anything happened? Now people just crash all the
1:46:30
time. I watched that Netflix
1:46:31
documentary on that. I was kind of annoyed at when it
1:46:34
just ended and I was like, oh, so I just watched like a six.
1:46:37
To get nowhere. Carl Carl was hoping there was
1:46:40
some like what the. Fuck are we doing here?
1:46:41
Netflix had the line on the real answer.
1:46:43
You know what's a good a good Netflix one?
1:46:46
Where they were, that happened, where it ended and there was no
1:46:49
conclusion and then they went back, let out another season and
1:46:52
then there was a conclusion. It was like a Murder 1 though
1:46:55
and like they were still under investigation with.
1:46:57
Them I want to know what it is, maybe I watched.
1:46:59
It it's like it was has murder in the title.
1:47:02
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Haley will know.
1:47:05
Wait, yeah, it's not the, it's not the one with.
1:47:07
Dying or being sexually assaulted, and it's ATV show
1:47:10
Haley has watched it. It's not like the the IT was a
1:47:13
guy right? The first one, Manhunt or some
1:47:15
shit. Yeah, Manhunter was one of them.
1:47:18
But there's like, murder. I know it.
1:47:20
It was like it was about mind of.
1:47:22
A killer or. Something.
1:47:23
No, no, no. No, that's one too.
1:47:24
The the, the one, whoever's listening and they're probably
1:47:27
hopefully gonna get this. There's one where the guy
1:47:31
murdered his. Wife.
1:47:36
It's always the wife. Son or something like that in
1:47:39
the barn. And then they closed out the
1:47:41
story with Season 2 and I was like, I definitely.
1:47:43
Didn't see that. It worked.
1:47:45
I forget what it is though. I've watched some of those on
1:47:48
Netflix cuz they make them look like fucking movies bro.
1:47:51
And then somebody's actually dying.
1:47:53
In the world, I'm like, what? And it's I'm like, I guess I'll
1:47:57
watch this. It's pretty fucking good.
1:47:58
And then you're watching it halfway and you're like, oh,
1:47:59
it's a it's really just a documentary.
1:48:01
And it's like, repetitive as hell.
1:48:03
Yeah, yeah. But sometimes they're good.
1:48:05
Once you watch one Netflix doc you just notice the trends right
1:48:09
away of how it's like they have a template like in school they.
1:48:11
Tried watching like a ditty doc with Haley and they was like.
1:48:16
Is it must be new? Yeah, it was like on Tubby or
1:48:20
Hulu or something. I don't know if I.
1:48:22
Someone was like, oh, it's really good.
1:48:23
And then we like got 30 minutes in there were like this is this
1:48:26
is nothing. This is like trash.
1:48:28
Well, she's probably a. She probably this.
1:48:30
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She is a connoisseur of like,
1:48:33
she'll go to sleep watching like Law and Order SVU and I'll what?
1:48:38
A lot of females watch these shows yo, they kill people.
1:48:41
Yeah, I guess they're like just making sure they know how to get
1:48:43
away with it. That's.
1:48:45
Something I don't know, I don't. Know how she can go to bed
1:48:47
watching Law and Order like SVU though, And that stuff's like so
1:48:50
dark and I'll like have nightmares and stuff.
1:48:52
I had to tell her I was like yo, can we put on like home
1:48:55
improvement or something? Tim Allen Who's love you?
1:49:01
Tim Allen, The. Two men tailor right now,
1:49:05
please. I was also going to say I was
1:49:07
like when? Now it sounds like it's right
1:49:10
before bed. I'm like, when the fuck do you
1:49:11
find time to watch a whole series?
1:49:14
Never. Yeah, I was.
1:49:15
About to say my like version of being at home is like you know,
1:49:20
I get home, eat dinner, get a shower, go to sleep, wake up and
1:49:24
that's like I must sleep by like 9.
1:49:27
When you wake up. Like 4:30 fuck.
1:49:30
And like then on the weekends it goes longer like because it's
1:49:34
it's usually either work on a Saturday or do car stuff on a
1:49:38
Saturday and then have some form of social life and then same on
1:49:42
Sunday and then the cycle starts back.
1:49:44
Over So you sound like you actually get sleep though,
1:49:46
because you go to sleep at. Nine Yeah, I I'm a person who
1:49:48
needs. Like who needs sleep?
1:49:50
So so am I. I hate it.
1:49:51
I don't know people who can exist on like 4 hours, five
1:49:54
hours. Wish I could though.
1:49:55
Yeah I do too because I would love to get more stuff done.
1:49:58
Like I almost get frustrated at 9:00 PM when I'm like damn tired
1:50:01
again, you know? Yeah, it's just like, I see
1:50:05
those people and I'm like. Fucking 5.
1:50:06
Hours. Five hours would be so perfect.
1:50:09
I think it's got something to do.
1:50:10
I don't know many business owners that can do that.
1:50:12
Like there's just, I think there's a form of mental stress
1:50:15
guys like us carry that has to like it has to be turned off and
1:50:18
the only way it can happen is like sleep, at least for me.
1:50:22
I I am speaking for you, but. I, I just realized like over the
1:50:26
last couple years that like if I, if I get around, my minimum
1:50:31
is about 6 hours. Yeah, if I get six to seven
1:50:34
hours of seven is like my perfect.
1:50:37
If I get 7 hours of sleep, I'll wake up perfect, I'm good, I'll
1:50:41
get up on time, everything's fine.
1:50:44
But like, if I, if I just get hintless, yeah, it's fucking
1:50:50
over. Everything's over.
1:50:52
I'm waking up an hour later. My alarm's been going off for an
1:50:54
hour. I'm like you, you could have
1:50:56
threw a grenade in my room. And.
1:50:57
Went to sleep cycle. Yeah, super sensitive.
1:51:00
What about you, Carl? I was going to say like, I
1:51:02
don't. He's probably a non sleep.
1:51:03
I feel like he probably doesn't sleep too much either.
1:51:05
There's some nights where like this happened recently.
1:51:10
The. Well, he's always about trying
1:51:12
to go to sleep once. Yeah, and it was hard, Hard,
1:51:16
right? You ever wake up and it's like 2
1:51:18
in the morning? You thought it was like your
1:51:19
regular Well for you for. Today, dude, was the best.
1:51:23
I woke up. I'm like fuck, I woke up all
1:51:25
right. And I look over 5 minutes to my
1:51:27
alarm. I'm like.
1:51:27
Fuck you. Nice bitch you.
1:51:30
Yeah, I fucking beat you, bitch. That's how I felt.
1:51:32
I was like, yes, done. Perfect morning.
1:51:35
Set an alarm to wake up in like 5 years.
1:51:38
That's sick. I literally clock it.
1:51:40
Yeah. Dude I don't know how I did it.
1:51:42
So even for like snow removal, I'll go to bed.
1:51:45
Let's say like the last no storm, I had to wake up for
1:51:47
midnight. So I went to bed like forced
1:51:50
myself asleep at 5:00 and I was like, go to wake up at midnight.
1:51:53
I woke up where? You just said that to.
1:51:55
Yourself, yeah. Like and I, I do it on a regular
1:51:57
basis. Your alarm in your head.
1:51:58
Yeah literally shut the fuck. I haven't set my alarm on my
1:52:01
phones for a purpose to wake up in like 5 years.
1:52:04
You just told yourself. Yeah, I'm like, yo, you got to
1:52:06
get up at midnight. Dude fucking woke up before
1:52:09
midnight. I swear to God.
1:52:11
That's true. I like, literally have like
1:52:13
what? Somehow I wish I was this good
1:52:15
at drifting, but I am not. I am this.
1:52:18
Good at waking myself up. Do you do this?
1:52:20
I I swear to you, I don't know why and, and it's weird that
1:52:25
we're talking about this, but if you think in your head and it's
1:52:29
habit, it's usually a drift event.
1:52:31
You go to be. Prepared to be late for work,
1:52:33
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't work
1:52:35
every time, but and if you have an inclination that you need to
1:52:38
be up at like 8. OK, we need to talk about.
1:52:41
That and and for some reason you go to bed even if it's at 2 or
1:52:44
one I'm waking up at 7. Let.
1:52:47
Me tell you guys for no reason. For no reason.
1:52:49
This shit ain't happening with me.
1:52:51
No, I go to sleep every night. I go this.
1:52:53
I'm going to tell you exactly how it goes.
1:52:55
Let's say, let's say it's 12 at night.
1:52:57
I get in bed. I'm like, all right, all right,
1:53:00
I'm not going to be a piece of shit tomorrow.
1:53:01
I got a lot of, I got a lot of shit to do.
1:53:03
I'm going to wake up at 6:00 AM right when the alarm goes off,
1:53:07
get out of bed, do some jump jumping jacks, you know, start
1:53:10
to exercise and whatever I got to do, it's going to be great.
1:53:12
I got a lot of shit to do tomorrow. 6:00 AM comes, alarm
1:53:16
goes off. Leave that motherfucker on for
1:53:19
an hour. No.
1:53:21
You. Can't an hour I totally ignore
1:53:24
it and just go back to sleep. Bro, any any, any fucking reason
1:53:30
my brain will create to make everything I said last night
1:53:33
mean nothing to me. Yeah.
1:53:35
Oh, you have enough time. So, oh, you can do that
1:53:37
tomorrow. Oh, you can do that.
1:53:38
I truly think no matter what I do.
1:53:40
That's like the alarm waking you up makes you like, at least in
1:53:44
that. Year you're right, I.
1:53:45
Keep No, you're right. When I mean me, it unmotivates.
1:53:48
It demotivates instantly. It does.
1:53:50
It's such a rude awakening of the day and you're like, F
1:53:54
everything, give me 5 more minutes with my eyes closed.
1:53:56
Yeah, where instead you gotta like, I don't know how I did it.
1:54:00
I think it's just because I had to like wake up or so early, so
1:54:04
uncomfortably for so long that by the time I was like 30, 32,
1:54:09
somewhere in there my body was just like fuck it.
1:54:11
And I was the. Other morning person.
1:54:13
I was the opposite. Yeah.
1:54:14
I almost never had to for school.
1:54:16
Yeah, yeah. But like, my mom was way too
1:54:18
nice to me. I gotta be late to school.
1:54:20
And shit like, oh, she would you like?
1:54:21
Like Dad would be gone before I even had to go to school.
1:54:24
So you, so he didn't give me the the wrath of my father.
1:54:26
Didn't have to, you know, come down on me.
1:54:27
Yeah. And then?
1:54:28
No, my mom's super punctual. She's listening now.
1:54:30
Hi, Veronica. And then with work, I, I always
1:54:33
worked night jobs until I worked at like Nissan and stuff.
1:54:36
So my clock was always my, my early 20s, like teen, late
1:54:40
teens, early 20s, completely fucked.
1:54:43
I was basically a vampire. Like I, I.
1:54:45
Worked at night and just slept till fucking 11.
1:54:48
I. Could see you be a vampire.
1:54:50
I love vampire just. Like he's Pootie Tang.
1:54:51
I just looked around. I looked, turned around and
1:54:53
looked at Malcolm. I'm like vampire.
1:54:56
Dude. That's how it.
1:54:57
Felt it could have really felt, you know what my roots are like
1:54:59
the boarding school regimen. My mom is a very punctual person
1:55:03
and like then I worked for my dad till I became like somewhat
1:55:06
of my own boss. So like I always had to answer
1:55:09
in the mornings to someone that was like a very timely person.
1:55:12
So then it just became me as well.
1:55:14
Yeah, when I had. Answered nuts when?
1:55:17
I. When I had to answer to my dad,
1:55:19
like if it was we had a plow, yeah, we sometimes we have to go
1:55:22
plow, He would just bring me along.
1:55:23
Yeah. It wouldn't even be snowing yet.
1:55:25
But like he saw it was time to get up.
1:55:27
Yeah, it's like, oh, it's time to get up.
1:55:28
I'm like, Dad, it's 3:00 in the morning.
1:55:29
What are we doing? I look outside.
1:55:30
It's fucking dry. Yeah.
1:55:32
I'm like, where are we going? He.
1:55:33
Said the storm is coming. He's.
1:55:34
Like well, the storm's coming. I'm like it's fucking not even
1:55:36
snowing. And then we just go and look at
1:55:38
a parking lot for like fucking 4 hours and then it snows at 9:00,
1:55:41
10:00 and I'm like, well that was fun.
1:55:43
I remember the moment, like, snow became not fun.
1:55:46
And it was like at 1819. So I used to snowboard so much,
1:55:51
go out West, like at least for two weeks out of like for
1:55:54
Christmas breaks and stuff like that.
1:55:55
It was awesome. Yeah.
1:55:57
And then like, I had to like, start working harder for the
1:56:00
family business and I'm like, snow sucks.
1:56:04
Yeah, my dad fucking hates. Snow, we are, Yeah, I do too.
1:56:07
I do. I have it down to a system now.
1:56:09
And that system is like, make sure there's more people than
1:56:12
there are inches of snow. Like that way we like, don't
1:56:16
have to work for three days straight.
1:56:17
But my dad would always be like, incapable of sleeping.
1:56:23
If snow is coming, he's pacing the windows.
1:56:25
Literally my dad, yeah. They should meet like, yeah.
1:56:29
That's literally the same thing. The.
1:56:30
Amount of people are seeing my dad and there's like tidy what?
1:56:32
He's looking at his window. Not yet.
1:56:36
It's the same thing. Maybe I should drive around.
1:56:37
It might be snowing somewhere else.
1:56:38
How was the previous Gen. such a tidy whity?
1:56:41
Gen. I don't know, they didn't have.
1:56:43
Boxer briefs yet? Yeah.
1:56:44
Yeah, they didn't have Boxer. That was like the weirdest thing
1:56:47
to me. I was like, dad, why the fuck
1:56:48
are you wearing those? And.
1:56:49
They never really adopted it because they were so stuck in
1:56:51
their ways. Yeah.
1:56:53
So all our dads are tidy away. You're.
1:56:55
Yeah, Mine definitely, yeah. Do you remember when boxer
1:56:58
breach kind of became a thing because I wore boxers?
1:57:00
Yeah. I just wore.
1:57:01
Boxers. Now I can't even fathom having a
1:57:03
pair of boxers dude. Foxy dude is so uncomfortable
1:57:06
it. Just turns into like a scrunchie
1:57:08
in my. It's kind of freaking.
1:57:09
Pain to even think that people wear that still like I, I'm
1:57:11
like. Back then, though, baggy pants
1:57:14
were like, yeah, that's thing too.
1:57:15
Yeah, I never had baggy pants. You don't rock.
1:57:17
A pair of boxers from time to time.
1:57:19
I'll wear boxers if I'm like, at home.
1:57:22
Are you chilling? Yeah, I'll wear boxers.
1:57:24
Right now I've but I there I do have like a couple pairs of
1:57:26
boxers I'll still wear but. Isn't it?
1:57:28
Doesn't it feel like you don't wear super baggy pants either?
1:57:30
So it doesn't feel like scrunched up in there like
1:57:33
baggy. What about you, Malc?
1:57:34
You wear boxes? No, you don't.
1:57:35
Wear boxes. He wears cat underwear.
1:57:36
We know this. Own a pair of boxes anymore?
1:57:38
I know you're wearing. I know you're wearing cats.
1:57:40
You go wearing cats. The cat The cat.
1:57:42
Don't take your pants off Stop. No way.
1:57:44
Wait. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
1:57:49
No, no what? Calvin Klein.
1:57:51
I got Calvin. Klein baby started dying, I got
1:57:53
Reebok. Malcolm I got more Caterpillar
1:57:56
underwear than whatever I'm wearing right now, but I like.
1:57:58
That I like. That he loves them and he was
1:58:00
gonna get them for Christmas. Haley got them for me.
1:58:03
She's like, I knew what she was thinking.
1:58:04
She's like he owns Caterpillar heavy construction equipment,
1:58:07
buying them fucking underwear. Well.
1:58:11
It's breathable, it's nice. I mean, we covered a lot.
1:58:14
I think we covered a lot of subjects on tonight's podcast.
1:58:16
Yeah, but we got, we probably got questions.
1:58:18
I like that the structure. I like that the structure was
1:58:21
like talk about formula deriv side.
1:58:26
We exposed a few things I need to learn before I go.
1:58:29
Officially forward by. E-mail that maybe the layout for
1:58:32
Saint Louis and Utah and the differences of them but.
1:58:36
I I know we were joking about it before.
1:58:38
Or maybe it's all a plot. Yeah, for my competition to
1:58:40
think of a target. There we go.
1:58:43
This guy doesn't know anything. Yeah.
1:58:45
Like but better stay back when I'm following him.
1:58:48
I think you just don't. You can overcome pretty much any
1:58:52
challenge hops. I would hope so.
1:58:53
I think that you're fucking. Yeah, like I think it's all in
1:58:56
the prep. Like, I forget who I was talking
1:59:00
about with this. It might have been 10, like the
1:59:05
first lap is always the best lap for or it feels that way.
1:59:09
So like, and it's because you have that bit of like hesitation
1:59:13
or not hesitation, but like you stay reserved and stuff.
1:59:16
So if you come there over prepared, overconfident in a
1:59:19
sense of like, I know the insurance and outs of this track
1:59:22
and all that, I feel like it's going to work against me if I
1:59:24
overdo that aspect of it. Whatever's in my control,
1:59:28
immediately I want to be in control, Yeah.
1:59:32
I'm going to do you a favor. I'm going to ignore any of that.
1:59:35
Say mulch. Yeah.
1:59:37
Cool. Unless the first one is a really
1:59:39
good mulch question. Yeah, if it's really good, but
1:59:41
hey. I've got.
1:59:41
This but if it's like mulch mittens, am I right that's.
1:59:45
Literally the first one I read. Wait, wait, wait.
1:59:50
Before we get going. I'm not going to put this on the
1:59:51
screen. Malcolm, don't.
1:59:53
Don't fucking flip your look what I got.
1:59:57
Stop. Yeah, it's a booty tank picture
1:59:59
of Malcolm. Let me see, Let me see.
2:00:00
This is much worse than booty tank we.
2:00:02
See this shit? What do you mean?
2:00:06
That's not let me see this shit. You never seen this?
2:00:11
One dude looking good. Oh my God, do not put that on
2:00:14
the fucking. See.
2:00:15
Yeah. For Malcolm, can you you want to
2:00:18
give him a back story to that or you just?
2:00:19
No, no, I get it. It's all right.
2:00:21
It's cool, man. I get.
2:00:22
It if I say if someone saw a photo of me like that, I'd be
2:00:25
like, you got to hear the back story.
2:00:27
I I. So much scrolling, so many.
2:00:30
More things. No, I know the back story.
2:00:32
Yeah. Yeah, You were there.
2:00:33
Yeah. No, no.
2:00:33
But I'm saying like that makes it look.
2:00:35
Weirder. So so.
2:00:38
We just saw Malcolm and drag, just so everyone knows.
2:00:40
The print no, it was not drag. Well, then what was it?
2:00:45
Prince. Princess, my fiance was in on
2:00:48
vacation in California and she. Said oh, I just got a.
2:00:50
Package delivered. Can you open it and tell me how
2:00:52
it looks so I. It's actually really funny.
2:00:55
That is funny as fuck actually. I opened it, it was a dress and
2:00:59
I put it on. That's actually hilarious.
2:01:02
Chris, dude, I just remember, yeah, Chris and Carl were there.
2:01:06
I was just. Chris is probably hard as a
2:01:08
rock. Wow, that changes.
2:01:13
But yeah, no the the with context.
2:01:15
I'm not going to lie, when you started the explanation, you're
2:01:17
like, my fiance was out of town, Coral was over.
2:01:21
I'm like. Yeah, that you know what, that
2:01:25
was actually not the greatest way to start that, but it was.
2:01:28
But it turned around. It was a good.
2:01:30
Way to end it finished well. How does it look?
2:01:32
Best way to fucking show you. Haley Lee says tell him he looks
2:01:36
like Bradley Cooper. Yo, she's a liar.
2:01:40
You. You.
2:01:41
Got a little similar when. I was skinnier.
2:01:43
I did get that. Yeah, you do have similar I I
2:01:45
get it. Are you?
2:01:46
Going to wear the vest when you're in the the hot seat.
2:01:50
In the hot seat. The.
2:01:52
Vest VQS 13 Timeline Story takeaways Why don't more people
2:01:58
do it? Would you do it again?
2:01:59
That's a good question. VQS 13 timeline was the first
2:02:02
question. Yeah, I I guess like, what's the
2:02:04
whole story with this? Basically I was just getting no,
2:02:13
I was out of college. I've I didn't have a lot of
2:02:16
money. I blew up my Sr.
2:02:17
It was an awesome Sr. Wilkerson was selling a known
2:02:23
good VQ swap setup. So this is like 2014 fifteen
2:02:28
maybe? I remember when this happened.
2:02:30
And Wilk Wagner, John Wagner calls me and he's like, it's
2:02:34
bullshit that you think you're not going to drive this year, go
2:02:36
down to fucking MA and buy Wilkerson swap.
2:02:39
It's like I think it was like 2500 bucks and it had like
2:02:42
everything you needed. And I was like, I screw it.
2:02:45
And I did that, plopped it in my car.
2:02:47
Literally that just waited for it to blow up and I was going to
2:02:51
figure out another engine set up and I was like 2 years, three
2:02:53
years later I'm like this motherfucker ain't blowing up.
2:02:57
And it was great though it's one of the reasons I was able to
2:03:01
save money to build the car, the cars I have now and will I do it
2:03:07
again? No I'm not going to tell anyone
2:03:09
not to do VQ swap, but there are cheaper or the same amount of
2:03:15
money for equal or more horsepower and reliability.
2:03:19
Like I mean an LS1 junkyard block.
2:03:21
I know you guys all balk at like the V8 stuff she like.
2:03:25
To be honest with you, I think I am feeling a lot worse about a
2:03:27
VQ S13. So yeah, OK, good.
2:03:29
What, you don't? So I like Champion.
2:03:31
Also VQS have all these quirks to them that LSS don't and like
2:03:36
you can go to Napa, you can get the portion and stuff like that.
2:03:38
So I wouldn't do it again just because price per like hours of
2:03:43
fun it's not quite worth it. But then someone like Mikey
2:03:47
Walsh who has an HR swapped S14, the car rips and makes probably
2:03:54
3 mid threes NA horsepower and it's reliable as all hell.
2:03:58
So. How do they make them reliable?
2:04:00
Cause some people just blow these things up left.
2:04:02
Yeah, I feel like they're asking too much of the engine.
2:04:04
If you just like do either basic bolt on stuff or just whatever
2:04:09
it does, whatever it makes stock, like your goal should be
2:04:13
like 50 to 100 more horsepower. I don't know.
2:04:16
The Texas dudes seem to have them figured out.
2:04:18
The guys that like have a bunch of you know what I think it is
2:04:20
and stuff. I think it's just check the oil.
2:04:23
Yeah, literally. Like.
2:04:25
My an oil cooler. Man, purely I finally did blow
2:04:28
my VQ up by just having it finally be worn out like a rod
2:04:33
bolt like loosened and just came out and the rod like gently like
2:04:37
pushed out of the block. I'm not even kidding.
2:04:39
Like it was this like the most like softest way to window a
2:04:44
block because it didn't even like stall or anything and the
2:04:47
rod wasn't exited. The building rod wasn't bent.
2:04:49
The threads were still there for a new rod bolt and stuff.
2:04:52
But it did. It pushed it like the crank was
2:04:54
just like, I can't hold on to you anymore and just like kind
2:04:57
of like let it out of the side. How something can gently window
2:05:01
go block I thought. No one would do the.
2:05:04
Block. But I stalled and then I was
2:05:07
like, oh, I need a tow. I think I have an oil leak or
2:05:10
something and I get to the pits. I'm like, I'm gonna call it that
2:05:12
hole in the block. Anyway, I think they're designed
2:05:16
to fall apart like that, to be honest with you.
2:05:17
I lost. Unless you're getting like some
2:05:20
trashed like Z that's got a good engine and you already have a a
2:05:24
S13 or 14 or whatever, there's no reason like unless these
2:05:29
parts are coming to you at an extremely cheap rate.
2:05:32
Yeah. And I hate CD trains is now.
2:05:35
I lost to. That really 13?
2:05:37
Like Nachi and what you got to get this specific one and the
2:05:42
clutches cost a lot. I don't know, I'm not ACD guy.
2:05:45
I like mine because it takes a beating from what I have.
2:05:48
I went through a lot of them for some reason.
2:05:50
I don't know, Like I know there's a lot of them, there's
2:05:54
like 12345, whatever. But then, but then if you have
2:05:59
this A1 on your or A2 on your casing, then you actually have
2:06:03
like a nine, I don't know. I wasn't going through them
2:06:07
because I had them on my Sr. cars and then I had them with
2:06:10
the VQS obviously until I started trying to drive my VQ
2:06:13
car fast enough to like win at gamblers.
2:06:16
And then I was like 15 clutch kicks through hairpin leading to
2:06:21
the bank and stuff like that. And that's when they were
2:06:23
starting to really grenade. I was like over gripping the car
2:06:26
and stuff. So maybe that I have a biased
2:06:28
opinion of possibly. That 13 that Mikey drives.
2:06:32
When I was hearing it, I lost. 13, not a 14, right?
2:06:35
But with a 14 front I think. Yeah, that's where the.
2:06:38
I drove against them in the casino, yeah, and same.
2:06:41
And I lost. And that car, what's behind me,
2:06:44
it's on. Well, Brian, Brian Hoffelmazian
2:06:47
wasn't behind the wheel. That's a different story.
2:06:50
But. The.
2:06:52
That car was like barely trying. Yeah, I know it moves.
2:06:55
It's moves so fast. I mean not.
2:06:57
Nonetheless, Mikey is an awesome driver.
2:06:59
It's just like. Barely was working.
2:07:02
He's one of many guys that like will come out of nowhere and
2:07:07
people that are like newer to drifting maybe not won't know
2:07:10
him and they'll be like who the hell is this?
2:07:12
Like What Car is that? And then then it's like, oh.
2:07:15
I knew him for a different car, I think.
2:07:18
He's got another one and. The name was familiar so I was
2:07:21
like. Oh shit, fuck.
2:07:22
Me. He comes his like crew of
2:07:24
buddies that all like learn together.
2:07:26
They're big names within his friend like click.
2:07:30
It's Ricky Hoffman by Strike Yeager, like me, stuff like
2:07:36
that. Sorry, I'm reading these
2:07:38
questions and I'm. Go ahead, read them out loud
2:07:40
all. Right at the bottom.
2:07:43
I'm stressed. About that I know.
2:07:44
Why are there's a? There's a.
2:07:45
Lot of good ones actually in here, so we've been.
2:07:49
Talking a lot of stupid shit. Let's maybe get.
2:07:51
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stuff out here, we're pretty
2:07:53
professional. Chris Knapp asked.
2:07:55
Where does the name Hopquake come from?
2:07:58
I hate that name so much. Yeah, yeah.
2:08:00
Yeah. Comes from crashing into the
2:08:03
wall a bunch at E town, totalling into a lot of chassis
2:08:07
is. That where hop came from or is
2:08:09
that was just a shorter. Name no, almost all of my
2:08:11
cousins and stuff they hop is just from Hop Lumazian.
2:08:15
Like instead of 11 letters it's 3, so.
2:08:18
I remember Hop Quake. Yeah, so do I.
2:08:21
That's. I forget there was one of like
2:08:25
there were like two or three big crashes to the wall before I
2:08:28
like finally mastered, like not crashing, just rubbing it.
2:08:32
And I think the one I did in reverse was the one where like,
2:08:35
people started calling me back 'cause I cracked the freaking
2:08:37
wall. I.
2:08:39
Know it was a big crash. I wasn't good enough to do what
2:08:43
I was doing and I was still trying to do it.
2:08:45
I was trying to link in reverse to Hairpin Omanji, and I was
2:08:51
like, I say, Eric O'sullivan's doing it, why can't I?
2:08:54
And then I crashed and petty, like, came up.
2:08:56
He's like, are you OK? I'm like, yeah.
2:08:57
And he's like, you're not Eric O'Sullivan.
2:08:59
You don't drive professionally. And he like, stormed off like in
2:09:03
his. I was like, oh shit.
2:09:05
That's amazing. That's a good story, though.
2:09:10
All right? The real JDM, Will said.
2:09:13
The Puerto Rican delegation renamed you to Tito.
2:09:17
When I drove a Corolla. Oh.
2:09:19
My God. That was awesome.
2:09:22
That was another thing that just fell on my lap, though.
2:09:24
I think it was before I finished putting the VQ in my S13 and
2:09:30
there was a loner A86 coupe at the track and I just like
2:09:36
commandeered it to the point where I I like forced Petty and
2:09:39
Tim to like sell it to me I think, and I fell in love with
2:09:42
that car. Had no E brake, had 90
2:09:44
horsepower. I had to put the tires on like
2:09:46
90PSI and I could drive it so well.
2:09:49
At least I thought well. Is that the one that I no?
2:09:52
I don't remember if that was in the bloodbath video.
2:09:55
No, that brings me to my. No, that was this is way after
2:09:57
that. Yeah, yeah.
2:09:59
I'm trying to. There was an 8/6 in that video
2:10:01
but I don't think it was that one really.
2:10:03
I feel like there was. What is your best memory from
2:10:05
the Bloodbath weekend? Oh shit.
2:10:07
I. Don't know.
2:10:11
Good question. I had to find that video later.
2:10:14
On actually I have it. There you go.
2:10:15
Sorry. I knew.
2:10:16
I knew you were. Going to have it.
2:10:17
Yeah, it was pretty easy. So I really didn't tan them much
2:10:20
before that weekend. And all of a sudden I showed up
2:10:23
and it was like, oh shit, all these guys are professionals
2:10:26
and, like, Petty convinced me to come here.
2:10:28
Yeah. And Wagner, it was like golden
2:10:31
hour day one. And Wagner was like, dude, let's
2:10:35
go to the fucking backtrack. Screw these guys.
2:10:36
And me and him did like 30 laps back there together and he was
2:10:40
just like, follow me, follow me, follow me.
2:10:43
And by like lap 10, I was like during him on transitions and
2:10:46
everything to the point where like, you know, you're like
2:10:49
jamming with somebody. We were doing it and we did it
2:10:51
for like literally 30 laps straight.
2:10:54
And that was like the, that was like what broke the mold?
2:10:56
Like I was finally able to be like, oh, I can fuck someone up
2:11:00
in the follow position tanning. And then then we shot that whole
2:11:04
video or whatever, which was awesome in itself, but that was
2:11:07
like truly the coolest part. So you really like were learning
2:11:10
how to tandem that, Yeah. He, like, took me under his wing
2:11:12
because you could see I was like, kind of overwhelmed.
2:11:14
Nobody took me serious. I was like some 21 year old with
2:11:17
hair, like out to here. And they were like, just like,
2:11:19
screw this guy. And Wagner was like, already
2:11:22
knew. I knew how to drive enough to
2:11:23
not crash into somebody and had the potential to be fast enough
2:11:27
to, like, be good. So he was like, fuck this man.
2:11:30
Like, yeah, let's go to backtrack and screw everyone
2:11:32
else for a while. I was like, hell yeah.
2:11:34
That's an amazing story. Yeah, I just.
2:11:38
I love hearing that because everyone loves that video, that.
2:11:40
Was fun. Really fun, yeah?
2:11:42
For sure. I didn't hear about it until
2:11:44
again like later on. There's even videos I didn't
2:11:47
hear about till. There's a There's a behind the
2:11:49
scenes one too, like an. Extent Mark Lonardan made that.
2:11:53
It was like it was a long one too, like 30 minutes long of
2:11:56
stuff. I.
2:11:56
Didn't even know if I seen that because.
2:11:58
There were so many parts of that weekend, like it wasn't just
2:12:01
like we showed up in one day and perfectly like made this video.
2:12:05
Like people who had to like Carlucci with the blue VQS 13
2:12:11
hatch. He had to like, Weld his oil pan
2:12:13
back together and he had to put a vacuum cleaner in his valve
2:12:15
covers because he didn't want to change his oil.
2:12:17
Stuff like that. Yeah, there was like and all
2:12:20
those little things like that. One story in particular that's
2:12:22
like in that edit that Mark Lenarden made.
2:12:26
Damn, I gotta watch that. Yeah, it's cool.
2:12:32
I know I said I wouldn't read any dumb ones.
2:12:33
But no, I just read them. Charlie and Sizzix says fuck,
2:12:36
marry, kill. Frankie Beans, John Kane, Tom
2:12:39
Nazaro. Kill Tom.
2:12:43
Wow. Hey, I didn't.
2:12:45
Marry beans, Chuckie get. Oh, and Chuck's not in the list.
2:12:49
Nope. John Kane.
2:12:50
I don't think no one's getting it.
2:12:52
No one's getting it. No damn.
2:12:54
What do you mean you're? Fucking Frankie.
2:12:56
I can't marry Kane. He's too annoying.
2:13:01
But I definitely want to marry me.
2:13:03
That's damn waking. Up there like.
2:13:05
It sounds like you're fucking Tom.
2:13:10
No way. All right, fine.
2:13:13
You got? Yeah.
2:13:14
Make another baby. Killing Kane?
2:13:16
Yeah, fucking Tom. That's.
2:13:17
Great. Marrying.
2:13:18
Beans marrying beans. No question.
2:13:20
No. Question.
2:13:21
That guy will take care of you no problem.
2:13:27
Tyler says. Tyler say what?
2:13:29
Says cat case deer. Or is it Kamatsu?
2:13:34
Yeah, Next question. Which one you like?
2:13:35
Oh, are these machines? Yeah, machines.
2:13:37
Deer, Kamatsu. Yeah.
2:13:41
You like play, not case. You probably like, oh, he's this
2:13:43
cat in there. I don't actually.
2:13:44
Cat has been letting me down lately.
2:13:46
Yeah, they're not the same company they used to be.
2:13:49
Oh. Shit, Kamatsu makes the best
2:13:52
bulldozer right in my opinion. OK.
2:13:56
Cat makes the best wheel loader case doesn't make anything the
2:13:59
best. Do they make all this shit in
2:14:01
China now or no? So yeah, like dude, Cat is the
2:14:05
king of this. All of them are but American
2:14:08
made. Yeah, the window it says
2:14:10
American made on is made there you.
2:14:12
Assembled in America. Yeah, right.
2:14:14
That window like everything's everything's like Indonesia,
2:14:17
Mexico, China, whatever it. Really.
2:14:20
Yeah, yeah, what the fuck? Yeah.
2:14:23
Yeah, damn little loophole I. Don't know, maybe it'll change
2:14:25
now with tariff changes in the. Tariffs.
2:14:28
Yeah. Come on.
2:14:28
Knock them. Do it.
2:14:29
Come on. The.
2:14:30
Tariffs. The tariffs I very they're gonna
2:14:32
charge you. They're coming.
2:14:37
All right. Oh, God, Every other question is
2:14:40
there like a lot? A lot, Yeah.
2:14:42
I it's just I I pick things that I want to go back to later.
2:14:46
BMWs, vintage or modern. And why?
2:14:49
Also does it change if it's just a street cruiser or track only
2:14:53
car? That's for me.
2:14:55
Sorry, I mean, who can be? Who can?
2:14:57
Be for that who thinks John Smith, Ben BMW.
2:15:00
It might just be a question for us then, Carl.
2:15:02
Vintage beamers are are pretty. I don't know how vintage we're
2:15:06
talking. I was.
2:15:06
Gonna say just the crazy part. You know more about them than
2:15:08
both of us, probably. No, no way.
2:15:13
Yeah, I've been deemed a secret BMW.
2:15:16
I'm not surprised you, you do know a lot of shit.
2:15:18
But I don't like them though. I don't really fucking
2:15:21
understand why people. Think I like Toyota in your
2:15:23
blood and now Beamer and Toyota are in cahoots.
2:15:27
Are they where you? Are they today?
2:15:29
Yeah, today, today. But I mean, it was, it's,
2:15:33
they're quality cars. For some reason people die on a
2:15:37
hill saying that you could work on them easily.
2:15:39
No the. B 58 is like what?
2:15:42
A very impressive engine I will say.
2:15:44
That you got to enjoy. I forgot you.
2:15:46
Yeah, that thing. Is that the moment the van
2:15:48
notice and everything? No, no, that was in the.
2:15:49
That's in the supras and like whatever.
2:15:52
Oh, OK, that's a new one. You missed that one.
2:15:55
That old. Dude, that car is fun.
2:15:58
Yeah for sure. And it's fast as all hell, but
2:16:00
like. Pointless.
2:16:02
There was nothing, yeah, no point other than get in trouble.
2:16:05
And Haley did like taking it to car shows or whatever else, but
2:16:09
like between the two of us and the four years we owned it, we
2:16:12
put 10,000 miles on that car. That's just one of those cars
2:16:15
where I feel like if I had it, I'd be like, what the fuck do I
2:16:17
have? Yeah.
2:16:18
So I said that to myself. You're doing times and then all
2:16:21
of a sudden I was recommended to get a spare engine transmission
2:16:24
and differential for FD. And I was like, it's sold.
2:16:26
Yeah, no question. Yeah, alright.
2:16:30
So we don't know much about BMW. Not much.
2:16:32
I like the B 58. Most important mod that it
2:16:34
commonly overlooked I guess let's say for grassroots
2:16:37
driving. Yeah, commonly overlooked
2:16:39
because everyone says, you know, diff coil over seat.
2:16:44
Damn it really is just diff coil.
2:16:46
Over that, that that is the. Basic like.
2:16:50
Fucking. I don't know.
2:16:51
You know what they don't say though is like to get an
2:16:54
adjustable set of arms. That's I don't know how
2:16:58
overlooked it is the overlooked parts got.
2:17:02
Me. Yeah, now I'm.
2:17:03
Properly fitting wheels, so many kids show up and they you can
2:17:09
tell they have like some fundamentals and then they have
2:17:12
like a rubbing issue, whether it be front or rear of the car.
2:17:15
Like the car doesn't even squat 'cause they're trying to be like
2:17:18
either stanced out or they have like wheels from their friends
2:17:21
or something and they don't fit on the car or even worse, in the
2:17:24
front. There's some like sunken in eBay
2:17:27
wheels and you hear them like get to not even close to lock
2:17:30
and it's like rant against the frame rail.
2:17:32
That's a. Good one you're.
2:17:33
Killing your day right now 'cause your wheels are wrong,
2:17:35
man. Yeah, that's definitely
2:17:36
something. That's go to Kansai or something
2:17:38
and get some wheels that are. I got one oil inside of your
2:17:43
engine. That's overlooked.
2:17:45
Is that overlooked? I think so bro.
2:17:46
Bro I don't I go as our. 20s suck.
2:17:49
Well, you didn't have oil in it. Why?
2:17:50
Does my VQ. I know.
2:17:51
How do you have a all know one man who the drain plug was like
2:17:55
one of those universal. Oh God, Jake had a.
2:17:59
Dorman Universal like wing nut drain plug.
2:18:04
Every time I hear this story I'm like shake my head.
2:18:06
Yeah, well, I. I wanted to dad him more than I
2:18:09
did, but I realized it falls on deaf ears when I get too angry
2:18:12
at him. I have to play the nice guy.
2:18:14
He'll like listen more. That when I heard the reasoning
2:18:19
it was funny that it was that he withheld it from me at first and
2:18:23
then waited for the weekend to end.
2:18:25
Yeah, I can't even get that mad about that though, 'cause I have
2:18:28
to remember, like Hop at his age, Brian, I say Hop about
2:18:32
myself is so stupid. You're in third person.
2:18:36
Me at his age I had an SR22 stroker that I forgot to drain
2:18:40
the freaking water out of and I cracked the block.
2:18:43
So like, who's more of an? Idiot.
2:18:45
I've been there before, 2020. Three or him, you know, at least
2:18:50
his was a stock Sr. Yeah, definitely him.
2:18:52
All right, next question. What's the biggest animal you
2:18:55
think you could fight and win? That's a good question.
2:18:59
Who has that one? Chris Knapp.
2:19:02
Fuck it, this is what I'm talking about.
2:19:05
He's asking all of us, by the way, including you, Malcolm.
2:19:07
So yeah, let's let's give this some thought.
2:19:09
Animal I could be in a fight. I know Malcolm's a bird.
2:19:14
That's crazy. I want to beat up a man.
2:19:16
The biggest animal I can fight and win is you, motherfucker.
2:19:19
Whoa. I always like to hear his
2:19:22
comebacks. That's the only reason.
2:19:23
Anything. Quick wow, this is.
2:19:25
Quick. It's.
2:19:26
Loaded up, I'm gonna say like a realistically the biggest.
2:19:32
Biggest animal? It's a bird.
2:19:33
How does who's? The best swimmer in here.
2:19:35
If you could swim good enough you can probably get a shark.
2:19:37
No, fuck the. Biggest animal probably.
2:19:39
Swatch. Motherfucker's big but he's slow
2:19:42
as fuck. I'll beat his ass.
2:19:42
That's a good answer, Sloss. Or big?
2:19:44
How big are Sloss? Pretty big, probably as big as
2:19:46
Frankie or something I was going to say.
2:19:49
That I was going to say it's Carl, but yeah, it's.
2:19:52
Crazy. I'm trying to think.
2:19:53
I don't think I one I would have a really hard time trying to
2:19:56
beat up an animal because I'm just like I would feel bad.
2:19:58
Oh, I'd beat the shit out of any animal unless we're trying.
2:20:01
To come at you, we started the fight.
2:20:03
OK, maybe like a fucking newborn deer or some shit, I don't know.
2:20:09
That's pretty. Accurate deer.
2:20:12
That's a good one though, because it's pretty.
2:20:13
Realistic A newborn deer with the rest of its family.
2:20:16
That's pretty big. Bambi by the neck, swinging him
2:20:18
around, taking the rest of it. Family out.
2:20:21
Done venison for dinner? Easy deer jerky.
2:20:25
Deer sausages. It's over until that shit bucks
2:20:28
you in the forehead. I've I you ever feed a deer?
2:20:31
Nope, I have damn at the top of a pepper.
2:20:34
Once I was I was cutting Peppers in the backyard to grill
2:20:36
something up and he came up and I gave him a top of pepper.
2:20:40
Yo, what about you said feed a deer, right?
2:20:43
How about that guy who used to make like reels or whatever and
2:20:46
he was like, we all eat fam. And yeah, deer is that was the.
2:20:49
Yard. That was the inspiration, Yeah.
2:20:52
Oh, what was that one deer's name?
2:20:54
Oh, fuck. Canella.
2:20:55
Canella, Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:20:57
I we've, I missed that one from that dude.
2:20:59
It's like everybody eats. I'll tell you when I'm not
2:21:01
fighting any fucking monkey. No way A.
2:21:05
Gorilla. Monkey.
2:21:06
No. A gorilla, obviously.
2:21:07
But any monkey? Nope, not an orangutan.
2:21:10
They go for like. You're nuts and they RIP them
2:21:12
off, right? Yeah, no, fuck that.
2:21:14
So those are all out. I feel like a deer was a really
2:21:18
good answer. Yeah, it's realistic.
2:21:20
Because it's easy and it's large.
2:21:22
Like give me, would you rather have a deer or like 20 geese?
2:21:26
Fuck that, I'm not fighting a goose.
2:21:27
Yeah, 1 deer. Yeah, 1 deer.
2:21:29
Yeah, these. Dude, they're relents are.
2:21:31
Dude violent. They are.
2:21:33
They're either. Pregnant or the males by the
2:21:35
pregnant I. Know we have a specific like
2:21:38
subcontracted geese egg killer guy for like.
2:21:42
Some of our commercial properties that yeah, yeah,
2:21:44
because I've had to get yeast off property before and I'm like
2:21:48
looking at I'm like, all right, how am I going to do this?
2:21:50
The second you go up to them if if yo the female's pregnant.
2:21:53
It's pack mentality too. It's over.
2:21:55
You're not getting anywhere near them.
2:21:56
They're going to fly at you like and just run right even.
2:21:59
The way they cross the road, they're like, what,
2:22:01
motherfucker? I got my homies with me.
2:22:03
Yeah. Like what the fuck are you going
2:22:04
to do? There's all of us.
2:22:06
They're not doing a hard ass question bro.
2:22:08
I'm not going to lie to you, this is.
2:22:10
What the fuck is going to be stupid?
2:22:11
This is bad. Yeah, no, you're the you're
2:22:13
gonna answer this. You are the worst liar.
2:22:15
If I can't answer this, you got what we both got.
2:22:17
Gotta come up with something. You're looking at me weird.
2:22:19
Yeah, they'll wear slacks every. No, no.
2:22:21
I'm I'm saying the. Animal 1 you have.
2:22:23
To answer, you have to answer no.
2:22:24
No, no, no, no new question. No new question.
2:22:27
All right, fine. I'm not letting you get away
2:22:29
with this. I honestly think.
2:22:34
I know I have to answer this too.
2:22:35
Fuck. Yeah, you don't have an answer,
2:22:36
so that's why you're looking at me all like I'm.
2:22:38
Feeling like a fucking. I would say dolphin, but those
2:22:42
things will rape you. 29 year old Puerto Rican woman.
2:22:48
I don't know if you're supposed to call that an animal.
2:22:51
Never mind, she wins the fight every time.
2:22:58
I. Don't Chihuahua.
2:22:59
There you go. Nah.
2:23:01
I can't fight a dog dude. See like.
2:23:03
Oh, murder Chihuahua. I am too humane for.
2:23:05
That I'm on my list. I could get.
2:23:10
I think I could get the best of be not a boy, no like a monkey.
2:23:17
You. Think.
2:23:17
One-on-one. No, bro.
2:23:19
You don't think so? No, What kind of monkey are we
2:23:21
talking about? No, I thought, I'm going to say
2:23:23
it. The ones that go that one
2:23:26
because fuck that shit. There's just one though, like.
2:23:30
Dude that thing you have to be scary looking.
2:23:32
You have to like break its arm basically.
2:23:33
I'm not going to describe how this would happen.
2:23:35
Please describe it. No.
2:23:36
Yeah. We want to hear how Ruth.
2:23:38
Grabbing it right here, right on the ground, you're done.
2:23:43
Yeah, like how much does a full grown monkey weigh?
2:23:46
I don't like that we're still on this subject, but.
2:23:49
I love this because this is the only I'm just.
2:23:51
Trying to answer, yeah, it's hard.
2:23:52
And you're like. Chihuahua, which is not an
2:23:53
answer. Because I want to be perfect
2:23:55
with this answer, it needs to be like on point.
2:23:59
You think you're you're good enough at swimming.
2:24:02
No, you don't. You want this?
2:24:04
Swimming thing. But you could take out a
2:24:06
bluefin. Yeah, here's right, a bluefin
2:24:09
tuna. I might be able to fuck one of
2:24:10
those. Things.
2:24:10
Are you kidding me? No, they're massive.
2:24:12
They're fucking huge. You're the size of your boat.
2:24:15
Those fish. You're right, I can't.
2:24:16
Fuck that thing. This.
2:24:17
Table dude the the amount of money you have to spend for the
2:24:20
boat, the size big enough to. There's an animal.
2:24:23
A starfish. You could fight a starfish.
2:24:26
That's a mammal that we're not thinking of A.
2:24:27
Fucking walrus. Well, I don't know if this is a
2:24:30
mammal, but what about an octopus?
2:24:33
They will fuck you up 'cause you think so they could do like
2:24:35
that. OK.
2:24:36
But all they have is like an ink shot thing and all like.
2:24:39
That I just don't like how it's hard to take off you.
2:24:42
A fox. Oh, OK, that's not kind of
2:24:44
similar. To like a dog.
2:24:45
They're dirty, dude, and they got fangs.
2:24:49
Yeah, I don't care. You can bite me.
2:24:50
I'll fuck that thing up. Yeah, one bite all.
2:24:54
Right. I don't know though.
2:24:55
Fox is a good. I actually had that in my head
2:24:58
too. They're not like too small.
2:24:59
For me it is monkey. It is too small, Monkey.
2:25:02
You're crazy. You're.
2:25:03
Squaring up Who can wrestle better?
2:25:05
That monkey's going to rip your eyes out.
2:25:07
I'm wearing a cup and sunglasses.
2:25:09
Yeah, I was going to say like, but a monkey, I don't know, like
2:25:14
my whole hand is fitting on the monkey's head and I am just
2:25:19
getting that away from me, bro. Because I would have I would
2:25:22
have said dog if I felt more confident, but fuck that too.
2:25:26
You ever have an angry dog growling at you?
2:25:28
The first thought is how am I going to go about hitting this
2:25:33
thing when it's whole entire? Face.
2:25:36
Is the weapon. You know what I mean?
2:25:39
It's kind of hard I. Don't want to choose an animal
2:25:42
like I Unconditionally you will love.
2:25:44
And you got to remember, monkeys will bite you.
2:25:47
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know, just I won't
2:25:49
either. I just want to be as humane as I
2:25:52
can, and that shit is not. I would paint the walls with
2:25:55
their blood. Nemo and Nemo and Stuart and
2:25:59
Patrick Starr are we found. In it we found a list of
2:26:03
animals. Look at.
2:26:03
Look at. Carl Octopus is on this.
2:26:05
Fucking Carl. 'S in the middle. 5050 chance
2:26:07
that I win or lose a. Year Snake.
2:26:09
No way 5050. Look, look at.
2:26:11
It would be a close one, but I'd who's the wolf and the cheetah?
2:26:15
Wait, it's not. The close one where is the where
2:26:17
is the. Golden Retriever.
2:26:19
A close one. I think they're just saying dog
2:26:22
in general and they're right. A dog would be a close.
2:26:24
Wait a minute. They'd get a few hits in, but
2:26:26
ultimately I would win the crab. You just stomp it.
2:26:30
Yeah, wait, what? Where's the crab?
2:26:32
Oh, 'cause it'll, it'll, it'll get your toes and shit, you
2:26:34
know? Oh, same with the lobster.
2:26:36
Is that a? Female.
2:26:37
That's a female deer at It would be a close one, but I'll win.
2:26:42
That's a female deer in the middle.
2:26:43
Where it's a DOE. Right up top.
2:26:45
Yeah, right next to the golden retriever on the left.
2:26:47
There, and that's a male one on the bottom.
2:26:49
Buck on the bottom. And that's accurate.
2:26:52
This is pretty. Accurate hop everything you
2:26:54
named just want to they're they're they're.
2:26:57
All losing category. They're all in the bottom part.
2:26:59
This is fucking hilarious. The octopus is right there.
2:27:02
It would be a close one, but I would lose.
2:27:05
And then the orangutan. I'm going to count that
2:27:07
orangutan gorilla. Yeah, but notice how there's no
2:27:12
other monkeys other than that row where it's orangutan and
2:27:16
gorilla? Well, what do you want to fight?
2:27:19
Why is? The cow in the I'm going to lose
2:27:21
category because it's so big. Yeah.
2:27:23
What are you going to do with that thing?
2:27:24
I mean, that's a really good. You have to possess a weapon I
2:27:27
guess, or something that big. Yeah, that's a really good
2:27:28
option, though. A cow.
2:27:29
But. But yeah, how are you going to
2:27:31
murder that thing? There's almost no way you can
2:27:33
kill that thing with your bare hands.
2:27:34
No. The entire time Hobbs trying to
2:27:37
tell us if you're a good swimmer you could fucking kill a shark.
2:27:40
And that shark? Look at the bottom, the bottom
2:27:42
all the way the. Picks up for getting all the
2:27:44
picture. Dude that shit I'd be too scared
2:27:47
to even fight. Look at the bottom.
2:27:50
Elephant, hippo, Fucking grizzly bear.
2:27:53
Rhinoceros, I think. Yeah.
2:27:55
And a great white shark. Yeah.
2:27:56
And it just says I'd be too scared to even fight.
2:28:00
That's a good question. That's me.
2:28:02
I'd be too scared to even fight the whole bottom of this list.
2:28:05
I'm not fighting a fucking. I can't.
2:28:06
Believe Lion isn't all. On the last. 1.
2:28:10
OK, I had to fight the Turkey once.
2:28:12
I tell you about that. I'm quitting from the 5050 spot.
2:28:15
Like everything down from here, I'm quitting.
2:28:17
Yeah, I'm not doing that. I like how they throw a cheetah
2:28:20
up there. Yeah, I'd be close, but I'd
2:28:21
lose. Yeah.
2:28:22
Oh really? It'd be close.
2:28:24
I would paint the walls of the blood and then like you look
2:28:27
over, it's a Goldfinger, a goldfish.
2:28:30
My God, a parrot. Yo.
2:28:33
Actually my answer. Sheep.
2:28:35
Sheep. I knew it.
2:28:37
I knew that's what you're eyeing on.
2:28:38
Yep. Oh, right there.
2:28:40
Look how. Cute that sheep.
2:28:41
Is I know, like I can't even fight.
2:28:43
That guy it would. Be hard to murder that thing
2:28:44
too, but it's gonna be hard to murder a deer as well with your
2:28:47
bare hands. And I think of it more of his
2:28:49
hunting. But that was the best.
2:28:51
Oh, OK, here we go. I'm gonna, I'm gonna vote, I'm
2:28:53
gonna vote. Carl had the best answer.
2:28:54
Come catch these hands, Bambi. I'm.
2:28:56
Here it is. Yeah, Whitetail Buck.
2:28:58
Definitely quickest answer and most realist.
2:29:00
Buck, I don't think you're fucking getting a buck with your
2:29:02
bare hands. I'm grabbing him right by the
2:29:03
horns right there. Bucks are pretty can be pretty
2:29:06
stupid though. Right by the horns, right there,
2:29:09
and I'm down. I was driving to work one
2:29:12
morning recently whenever the bucks are like in heat or
2:29:15
whatever, and this, I watched this happen.
2:29:18
He was chasing a doe, goes to jump an iron fence.
2:29:22
Oh no, catches it with his gut. And I watched him gut himself
2:29:27
and just hang there. And I was like, all right,
2:29:28
today's going to be fucked up all.
2:29:31
You have to do is just run over a.
2:29:33
Fence I'm drinking my coffee and I see this deer just murder
2:29:35
itself over at some tail and I was just over.
2:29:38
Some. Tail.
2:29:38
I was like damn. That is crazy.
2:29:41
That would fucking send my rest of the day like yo.
2:29:45
The worst part is it was at the IT was this iron fence was to
2:29:48
the field of like this Military Academy I pass every morning and
2:29:51
I was like, damn, these dudes are gonna come out for their
2:29:53
like morning roll call thing. And I'd be like that up.
2:29:55
Jesus Christ, the drill instructor just did this to
2:29:57
like, yeah, she was, she's. Boss Josh Delise says why is not
2:30:03
driving with Tom considered a smart financial advice?
2:30:12
I mean that is accurate. The funniest thing about Josh is
2:30:17
that his he has the ability to think and reiterate everything
2:30:22
Tom says, whether he's been with Tom or not.
2:30:24
Like after events, he'll let me up.
2:30:26
He'll be like, I don't want to talk too much shit on Tom
2:30:28
because he gets all upset inside, but he'll be like, let
2:30:31
me guess, Tom came up, asked you a million car questions, asked
2:30:35
everyone a million car questions, went back, didn't
2:30:38
change anything in his car, went back out, explained to everyone
2:30:40
afterwards how fast he is and how everyone else is so much
2:30:43
slower. And then he continued to like
2:30:45
destroy his body again. And I'll be like, wow, were you
2:30:47
like there or something? He's like, no, I've just known
2:30:49
Tom for a long time. Yeah, Tom learns best by, I
2:30:55
guess, experience. Yeah, Yeah.
2:30:57
The the Casino Royale car track comp was a good example of time
2:31:03
over thinking things. With the KA car that went up
2:31:07
again yeah, that's right. We were all standing next to
2:31:09
each other and you guys were all like he's going to take time
2:31:11
right now. He.
2:31:12
Kept like asking about pressures and grip and all this stuff and
2:31:16
I was like dude, set your car up to go slow.
2:31:20
This kid is consistent and reliable and he's in AKA car
2:31:24
like just float behind him and what'd he do?
2:31:26
He went out there like as if he's going against an FD car and
2:31:31
he just, he didn't. Even laughing so hard.
2:31:33
Picture car Tom like fucking, I don't know, like Oh yeah, I'm
2:31:37
going to fucking murder this kid fucking like set his car up for
2:31:39
that's. What he was, I don't think was
2:31:41
he. Yeah, he was.
2:31:42
He was a mess in a mess. I don't mean like bad at
2:31:47
drifting. I mean like mentally he messed
2:31:49
himself up like just bad. My favorite Tom story.
2:31:56
OK, It's like me Grant Mike Knapp was like standing on grid
2:32:04
and we see him coming to and we're all loading and I say to
2:32:08
everyone I was like watch he's going to like do a donut and fly
2:32:11
on his trailer try to be a fucking bad ass.
2:32:13
Sure enough, he like buzzes past us, pulls the handbrake, shoots
2:32:17
on his trailer, forgot to hitch his trailer up, smokes his
2:32:21
tailgate with. His.
2:32:23
Car and just looks over at us and all of us fell to the ground
2:32:27
laughing at him. Oh my God.
2:32:29
Oh my God, is that why his shit was fucked up?
2:32:32
Yeah. Oh my God, that's.
2:32:36
Fucking I'll never forget the amount of oxygen I had to like
2:32:40
force back into my lungs after I was like completely called it
2:32:44
too. Oh yeah.
2:32:44
I I saw it in his eyes. He was like eyeballing us.
2:32:47
Like when he came back on to like grid.
2:32:49
I was like, he's gonna try and show off right now and then not
2:32:51
sure enough like. Good old Tom.
2:32:57
That's never a dull moment with Tom.
2:32:58
Ever Josh also says PSI Still want to apprentice a round or
2:33:03
two for your program. Yeah.
2:33:05
So there's a I haven't. Forgotten, buddy.
2:33:07
Yeah, New Jersey's close. Yeah, that's true too.
2:33:11
Last question I guess is going to be goals for first pro spec
2:33:15
season. We kind of talked about this a
2:33:16
little bit, but I guess if you have any like main goals.
2:33:19
Just to like a real goal. I mean, I'm going to, I, I am
2:33:25
shooting high in my own head. I I would love to be on the
2:33:28
podium before the year's over for sure.
2:33:31
That's a great goal. Yeah, I, I think I have it in me
2:33:35
as well. I have the mental game.
2:33:37
Yeah. I mean, obviously the real goal
2:33:39
is winning the damn championship, but like, if we're
2:33:42
going to keep it like somewhere realistic, definitely I would
2:33:46
love to podium. My first year in FTA would be
2:33:48
awesome. I think it's going to happen, I
2:33:50
think so. I'm not even worried about it to
2:33:51
be honest with you. I can't wait till they interview
2:33:54
you hop because I feel like you're good at it.
2:33:57
No, and that. You are good.
2:33:59
You are good at it. Stop.
2:34:01
You're good at it, dude. And you're going to be able to
2:34:03
like and if you aren't, then you're going to be a normal guy
2:34:07
on the camera. And that's, that's that'll.
2:34:09
Probably be. I like that.
2:34:10
Something about like this is easy because it's just us Bros
2:34:13
hanging out. I remember like in Canada, the
2:34:16
world tour Cerise right before the mic was like going to come
2:34:20
up and I just got beat by Grant. She was just like, all right,
2:34:23
the only rule, don't, don't curse.
2:34:25
I was like, all right, cool. She hates me.
2:34:26
I'm like, I'm like fucking. I look at it like all these
2:34:30
people and they were just like, what?
2:34:32
And I was like, no, nothing. That's amazing.
2:34:38
It's like, it's cool. It's only like 2540 thousand
2:34:40
people watching this show. Whatever.
2:34:43
You're going to do great, dude. And the fact that you even you
2:34:46
still take the time to come hang out with us.
2:34:47
Yeah. People.
2:34:48
Down. I like how you talk to like
2:34:50
you're the little people or something.
2:34:51
Dude, you're like. I really did just come here for
2:34:54
my body kit, but like when? When?
2:34:56
When went for a little while, I don't know if you remember this,
2:35:00
but a long time ago, maybe a 2-3 years ago, you went up to me and
2:35:03
you were like, yo, you're pretty good.
2:35:05
You you kind of know what's going on a little bit.
2:35:07
And then ever since then I was like, yo, I've told me I'm
2:35:10
pretty OK. Yeah.
2:35:11
It's because I think I already met you at the we when we did
2:35:15
the first podcast and then we were at the same event or
2:35:18
whatever. I think so.
2:35:19
So I knew to like, look and see. Like, does this kid actually
2:35:23
know anything about first? Thing I mean like I like it, but
2:35:25
it's. And you did well at the casino
2:35:27
thing too, Dude, I was hard. Track one of the best driving
2:35:30
some. Of the best Carl can Tanum.
2:35:33
Yeah, yeah, he definitely. Can I know exactly how I lost
2:35:36
too? Mikey, I'm coming for you next.
2:35:37
Year dude Mike's car was like in super speed mode.
2:35:41
He was driving so good. Like the when we went OMT, that
2:35:45
was like, yeah, the same exact run.
2:35:47
Oh. You went one more time with
2:35:48
Mike, dude. That in itself is, you know he
2:35:51
owns a place, right? He like drives her all time.
2:35:53
That's pretty impressive. That is pretty impressive.
2:35:56
Look, man, congratulations, Mike.
2:35:58
You've got that one, all right? Yeah.
2:35:59
There we go. All right, any any last words?
2:36:04
No. Haley, he'll be home soon.
2:36:06
Yeah, don't worry. We we should.
2:36:08
Are you down to get food out? I'm down.
2:36:10
I'm. Really just thanks to you guys.
2:36:14
I love this podcast. It is helpful.
2:36:16
Operating equipment or driving a long place long distances all
2:36:20
the time. I can listen to this and stuff
2:36:22
and you're the man for supporting me this year.
2:36:24
Thank you. Oh.
2:36:24
Yeah, no problem, man. Yeah, I'm looking forward to
2:36:27
this. So it's going to be a fun time.
2:36:28
Yeah, man. I mean, I'm sure you're going to
2:36:29
destroy all of it, but you know, it is way.
2:36:31
I mean, I'm going to try not to. I, I had to, I was like, like, I
2:36:36
was catching up to the compliment and then it was boom.
2:36:40
There's one of those things where it's like you give it to
2:36:42
people and you're like, yeah, this is.
2:36:43
There's like a little a couple tricks to like keeping them
2:36:46
together, you know, like some of that spray foam stuff and
2:36:48
whatever. As long as you have vinyl on the
2:36:50
car it always. Looks vinyl definitely helps and
2:36:52
I will be vinyling it so. Yeah, so that, that always
2:36:54
helps. No, no, I'm not worried about
2:36:55
it. It's gonna be cool and the car's
2:36:56
gonna look good. I hope you be no, I can't wait
2:36:59
to see what it looks like. You're gonna be that problem.
2:37:01
Dude, I really that's. I I love the way dude I.
2:37:04
Hope Brian the problem. No, I don't know.
2:37:08
You ruined it. Yeah, that's good, dude.
2:37:11
I don't know. That's yeah.
2:37:12
I'm excited for this year. I think it's gonna be really
2:37:14
fun. Not just an FD though.
2:37:16
There's like, I have a schedule on a big calendar of like the
2:37:20
events we're trying to do and I'm realizing how many places
2:37:22
and how much cool shit's about to go down so. 2025 is the year.
2:37:25
Yeah, I'm gonna try and, you know, have a couple, at least
2:37:29
one media person with me everywhere I go and actually do
2:37:33
something about posting and making the cool stuff we're
2:37:36
doing. I think Haley started the
2:37:38
YouTube channel for you. Yeah, it would be good.
2:37:41
It would be helpful, right? It would certainly be helpful
2:37:43
with finding partners too, so. If anyone wants to partner up
2:37:46
with Brian Hop for the pro spec season this year, yeah, you know
2:37:50
who to hit up. All right, let's go get some
2:37:52
food. Haley, wait next week, next
2:37:54
week, we're having Prisa Mike on the podcast.
2:37:59
Finally, we get to meet Prisa Mike.
2:38:01
I believe also there's going to be some sort of meet up that
2:38:04
night. Make sure to follow Praise and
2:38:05
Mike for those details. Yeah, they might be out already,
2:38:08
I'm not sure, but he's going to post the the event.
2:38:11
The event is crazy. It's a fucking car meet, but
2:38:14
we're just meeting up in the spot that I chose.
2:38:16
It's definitely illegal and hopefully we don't get kicked
2:38:18
out. This meet I I left all
2:38:21
responsibility to Frankie to plan this and he said fuck it
2:38:25
why don't we just do it old school?
2:38:27
And there's got to be an Outback nearby so we can eat.
2:38:29
And, and just meet up and if they kick us out, we'll just go
2:38:32
to spot number B or letter B. You fucking it?
2:38:35
I'm like OK, cool. So look out for that if you
2:38:37
haven't already and. That's it man, that's it.
2:38:41
Buy some fenders. OK, well, thank you so much.
2:38:44
Peace. Bye later.
2:38:47
That was fun. That was fun.
2:38:48
That was a good. One hop.
2:38:49
What the heck was it? Yeah, I'm telling.
2:38:53
You that dude we got stuck on? That for like, I I can't
2:38:57
believe. Brian Hop, I said.
2:39:03
A hip, A hop. A hip.
2:39:04
That. There you go.
2:39:05
Hey, OK. That's a good way to start the
2:39:07
outro. Yeah, Yeah, man, I mean, I don't
2:39:11
know if we really talked about cars much in this podcast, but
2:39:14
we at least we know now what animal you'll fight till the
2:39:17
death. Yeah, that was a good question.
2:39:18
Chris, Chris, nap that. Was one of my favorite questions
2:39:21
we've ever had. Honestly, I'm still not really
2:39:24
sure if my answer of a sheep is really good.
2:39:27
I think a deer is probably the best answer.
2:39:29
It really is the best answer. Until he said a male deer.
2:39:31
And then I was like, OK, now that guy's just kind of Bucky
2:39:35
you into another. Dimension impale you right
2:39:37
through your eye socket. Yeah, so I don't know about
2:39:40
that, but a female deer, Yeah. You can take one of those down.
2:39:42
All right. Anyway, Brian Hopp.
2:39:44
Yeah, Great. Episode Yeah, talk a little bit
2:39:46
about Formula D, which is nice. Yeah, I think we talked a lot
2:39:49
about it. It's just we always feel like if
2:39:51
we talk about anything else, it's it's like, oh, we didn't
2:39:53
say anything, but we did have a long conversation about formula
2:39:56
drift. Yeah, honestly, I have high
2:39:57
hopes. I have high hopes for Hopp.
2:40:00
Yeah, a lot of people are are, I don't want to say talking shit
2:40:03
because they're not talking shit.
2:40:04
But a lot of people are saying like, oh, you know, he's not
2:40:07
ready. He's not, you know, I don't
2:40:09
think he's prepared, mentally prepared for this.
2:40:11
I'm like, I don't, I mean it. I don't give a shit, honestly.
2:40:14
I think he's going to do great. Everything they're saying is
2:40:16
valid because he's literally a rookie.
2:40:19
Every time somebody goes into something for the first time,
2:40:21
they're not going to be amazing at it.
2:40:22
So. Yeah, but like, I've been
2:40:24
watching Hop Drive and I'm just like that guy, that guy's a
2:40:26
monster. I, I don't really know about
2:40:28
like his competitive side, but anything like his grassroots
2:40:34
side, it's like most people that are decent drivers, when they
2:40:40
compete, they become like amazing, you know, because
2:40:44
they're just like, it's like, oh, now it's serious time.
2:40:46
Like I got to, I got to actually do this.
2:40:48
So if that's what I'm thinking is going to happen, you have to.
2:40:50
Perform every single time. And let's talk about the team
2:40:52
he's got. I mean.
2:40:54
He's got Chelsea Denofa in his corner.
2:40:55
Chelsea Denofa, you know, MA Motorsports, this is this is
2:40:59
he's just he's set up right now to to have a good rookie season.
2:41:03
So we're going to see how that goes, guys.
2:41:05
We're going to be, we're definitely going to be tuning
2:41:07
in, maybe even seeing some of these live, obviously New
2:41:10
Jersey. We got to go to FD this year.
2:41:13
Yeah, we're definitely going to FD this year.
2:41:16
I don't know if we're going to go to Atlanta.
2:41:17
I wish we could, honestly. I've been trying to do that for
2:41:19
like 5. Years.
2:41:20
That track is so cool. Yeah, that track is awesome.
2:41:24
I never seen it in person yet so.
2:41:25
I could. I'd drive it in eye racing.
2:41:27
I know that track like the back of my hand.
2:41:29
Wait, really? Yeah, I could picture it in my
2:41:31
head right now. All right, So what is it?
2:41:35
4th week of February 2025? Yeah, it's we're still in winter
2:41:39
guys. So if you got cars for us to
2:41:40
work on, send them our way. I I would like to say that the
2:41:46
auto preserve is almost 100% ready.
2:41:48
It's. Getting worked on as we.
2:41:49
Speak Yeah, the car, the car storage, also known as the auto
2:41:52
preserve here at Faction Motorsports, is basically going
2:41:55
to be up and running next month. Yeah, the past.
2:41:57
Year we've been digging out the ground to install that elevator
2:41:59
to put the cars in the. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:42:02
The cars are stored underneath the ground here.
2:42:05
Our landlord doesn't know, but no, yeah, it's very small spot.
2:42:09
So if you guys are interested in storing your cars here, let us
2:42:13
know as soon as possible because it's going to fill up fast I
2:42:16
think and especially with all the bullshit cars we got here
2:42:19
that are mine that don't move. You know you're going to be.
2:42:22
Yeah, there's not a lot of room. I'll be charging you.
2:42:24
Thanks. So yeah, make sure you you hit
2:42:27
us up about that. I always say, and I was thinking
2:42:30
about it last night on the podcast.
2:42:32
I was like people who live out of state that have money, you
2:42:38
should probably send a drift car over here.
2:42:40
Yeah, this is the the time to do it.
2:42:43
This is the spot to be. Also, you got to remember Brian
2:42:47
was talking about the airport at E Town.
2:42:50
You could land a plane there like if you if you had money and
2:42:54
you had a private. You think people that people
2:42:57
have money going to E town? Yeah, I do.
2:43:01
We could transport the car there.
2:43:02
They just fly in, they drift, they go home and.
2:43:05
Then land at Teterboro. I mean, I can think of one
2:43:07
person, Adam, LZ. I don't know man probably does
2:43:15
have a. She definitely does dude,
2:43:17
people, I mean flying is not a big deal, especially when you
2:43:20
have a decent amount of money. So I don't know that's my dream.
2:43:23
I'm just trying to transport your cars to and from E town
2:43:26
because I think that would be fun.
2:43:27
Also, we have a full shop here, obviously, so if you need
2:43:30
anything fixed on them one stop shop, we can do that as well.
2:43:34
But yeah, contact us. Let us know if you're interested
2:43:36
guys. We're also doing vapor honing
2:43:38
and zinc plating now, so if you need anything vapor honed or
2:43:40
zinced, Eddie has made a whole. What would you call that web
2:43:47
page? What would you call that on?
2:43:48

2:43:56

2:45:18
order, but we have two in stock here.
2:45:20
We already sold 1, so they are going.
2:45:22

2:45:27
We also have a firm on the website, so make sure if you

2:45:37
you, I would say most people get, most people get approved.
2:45:42
Yeah, it's. Yeah, it's.
2:45:44
Very rare where you'll get denied for a firm.
2:45:46
Yeah, even if you do have money, you just don't feel like
2:45:49
spending it. Spending it all.
2:45:50
Just why not affirm it? Some big brain shit.
2:45:53
That's some rich people. Stuff, yeah, and we accept
2:45:55
PayPal, so you could also use PayPal paying for you charge
2:45:58
every two weeks. True.
2:45:59
That's that's another good one. More people use pay for for
2:46:02
paying for than than a firm. So yeah, we also have that as
2:46:05
well. Guys, we mentioned in the
2:46:07
beginning of the podcast, but we are doing a raffle this month
2:46:10
for Stance XR1 coilovers for any chassis of your choosing.
2:46:14
So any, every $5 spent on the website gets you a, what do you
2:46:18
say an entry. An entry gets you an entry into
2:46:21
the raffle that we will be announcing around March 1st to
2:46:25
3rd somewhere in there. Yeah, within the first week of
2:46:27
March. Yeah, so guys, we're going to be
2:46:31
doing some content on stance coilovers.
2:46:33
So if you don't know about them, check out our YouTube to learn
2:46:36
more. But stance coilovers are pretty
2:46:38
much the only coilovers I would suggest for any as chassis owner
2:46:42
in the drifting community and a bunch of other cars too.
2:46:45
They're they, they definitely have them for other makes and
2:46:47

2:46:49
skyline here. So check out their website,
2:46:51

2:46:53
website. And yeah, we're going to try to
2:46:55
put out a, a video explaining more in detail about their coil
2:46:58
overs. So you guys have more of a more
2:47:01
knowledge about them. So you can, it can help you make
2:47:04
a good decision on which coil overs you want to purchase.
2:47:06
But yeah, we are giving a set of those away.
2:47:07
So make sure to get those orders in on the website before the

2:47:21
collaborative meet with him somewhere nearby.

2:47:32
We have the flyer already, so he'll be announcing it.
2:47:35
Yeah, within the next few days, yeah.
2:47:37

2:47:41
Yeah, it's, it's a chill meet just to, it's a, it's basically
2:47:46
a little hangout such that I think prison Mike likes to,
2:47:49
prison Mike likes to do every now and then.
2:47:51
For his followers, yeah, 'cause he's travelling in the country
2:47:53
right now, it seems like. So yeah, he's, I mean, he's
2:47:56
coming up from like North Carolina or something right now.
2:47:58
And I know, I mean, Jimmy Oakes might make an appearance too.
2:48:01
He said, he said. So yeah, it seems, it sounds
2:48:04
like it's going to be fun. So if you guys have any cards
2:48:06
you want to bring out, I purposely picked the spot next
2:48:10
to an Outback Steakhouse, so I will be in there.
2:48:14
Yeah, I will be in there eating a lot of steak.
2:48:16
So yeah, that's where you can find me.
2:48:18
I'm not gonna be hanging outside freezing my ass off, but the
2:48:21
parking lot is huge. We'll bring as many cars as you
2:48:24
can. Please check our sponsors and I
2:48:30
don't forget to leave a review on this podcast if you have not
2:48:32
already. We appreciate all the love we've
2:48:34
been getting. And I got an awesome message the
2:48:37
other day from someone saying like, thanks for the motivation
2:48:39
for, you know, I'm starting my own thing.
2:48:41
He's got a lift in his parents house.
2:48:42
I think, Oh, wow, like he's working on cars there.
2:48:45
I'm like, oh, this is cool. I didn't think I would get a
2:48:48
message like that, but it it made me feel good.
2:48:51
I was like, this is sounds like a message that I would send to
