0:00
Hello everybody, Welcome back to another episode of the After
0:03
Hours podcast. On today's episode we have Will
0:07
Ramos of Lorna Shore. We met Will maybe two to three
0:12
years ago. He was just getting into
0:14
drifting, so he came by the shop and had us do a bunch of work on
0:17
his 350Z and since then he has been killing it at Club Loose.
0:22
Will is also the vocalist from metal band Lorna Shore.
0:25
So if you know of them or are into metal, I'm sure you've
0:29
heard of them before. But yeah, I, I was not aware of
0:32
this band when when I met him, but I've grown to learn a lot
0:37
about them and I have a bunch of friends that are into them as
0:39
well. So let's see if there's a
0:41
crossover between metal fans and drifting, because the people
0:45
that are coming to hear this that are into the metal scene,
0:47
I'm sure you guys would love drifting and vice versa.
0:50
So we talked about, we covered a lot in this podcast.
0:54
We talked about drifting for sure, but not too much.
0:56
We talked about a lot of music, we talked about college, we
1:00
talked about everything, life decisions, just everything.
1:03
Will is a really fun person to hang out with and I hope we can
1:06
do this again. Enjoy.

Huge line bro, I like that. Some people don't look at the

7:22
try to sell something crazy one day.
7:23
Like one day. Oh my God.
7:26
Frankie, put your pants. Back on dude, like fucking
7:29
something crazy. I could be like, what is he
7:31
doing? What?
7:31
Is he doing I? Felt like that's.
7:32
Happened before on this. I mean you that one time you
7:35
said that crazy shit before it started.
7:37
That's not even crazy anymore dude.
7:39
We were talking. Malcolm's done this before,
7:42
where it was an accident and the mics were rolling.
7:45
We were talking about, you know, the movie waiting.
7:48
How old are you? 3031.
7:50
Then you know the movie, you know the.
7:51
Movie waiting, yeah. Cool.
7:52
We're all kind of. Yeah, all right.
7:54
Yeah, we old, you know. No, I used to make fun of
7:56
Frankie, but now I'm. I'm 34, so you know I'm damn.
8:00
Old man he. Calls me unk.
8:04
He's fucking 30. I'm like, that's four years.
8:06
Old I turned 30 and I was like. Fuck.
8:08
Frankie's only four years ahead of me.
8:10
Now he keeps saying shit dude. Now he keeps acting all old.
8:13
He's like Oh my fucking back this and that.
8:15
I'm getting kind of tired. I think 30 is the perfect age to
8:18
start just complaining about stuff.
8:20
You know what I mean? When you're in your 20s and you
8:23
start complaining people like that, you're young as hell.
8:25
But then once you hit 30, I'm like, I stubbed my toe.
8:28
I'm like dude, my toe's been stubbed for like 3 weeks.
8:30
I was now. I was scared before I turned 30.
8:33
I was like, fuck, here goes, I'm 30.
8:35
But then it happened and I was like, yeah, whatever.
8:37
It's like 20 version 2 you didn't get.
8:39
I believe that, yeah. Yeah.
8:40
Except I did get a sunburn the other day and I never sunburned
8:43
my first time ever. I mean in a long time like.
8:47
Dude, I'll go to the beach. And I'll be like hanging out and
8:50
shit and I'm like, I'm cooking, dude.
8:52
And then I come home and then everyone's got sunburned.
8:54
I, I barely wear sunscreen. Just put a little bit on my
8:56
shoulders, a little bit on my face, call it a day.
8:57
That's it. Literally roasted bro.
9:00
I feel you. I believe that you're a white
9:03
guy. You look like you're extra white
9:05
though dude. I had motorcycle gloves on and
9:06
everything. I just had white hands and
9:08
fucking. Yeah, it was bad.
9:11
He's got anchor arms from SpongeBob.
9:12
Like it was like the perfect oh. Wait, here you go.
9:15
Oh yeah, put those. Away, see, but now it's tanning
9:17
down here. Now it looks kind of nice.
9:19
It does. It's like a nice little contour
9:20
or something like that. I said this on the last pod, but
9:23
I feel like every single one of my caucus friends tell me the
9:26
same thing. They're like caucus.
9:28
I just got to. Burn the 1st.
9:29
Time. Yeah, that's not the.
9:30
Word. It's tan.
9:31
It's tan. Yeah.
9:32
That's. Literally how it goes.
9:33
And now I'm going through that. So it doesn't feel right.
9:36
It doesn't feel right at all. I don't know I that's that
9:39
happens to be every year like and I don't really wear
9:42
sunscreen. I was going to about to make a
9:44
comment on that too. Yeah, you.
9:46
Guys are responsible for even, you know, doing the I.
9:49
Don't know I got it dude, otherwise I'd start peeling and
9:51
shit. Yeah.
9:52
That that's happening. I hate that my.
9:57
Even someone looks at me and I, I know I'm peeling and they're
9:59
looking at me and like oh damn, he's peeling and I'm like please
10:01
don't say anything. I'm probably still peeling.
10:03
I don't mind it. I, I feel like a snake, you
10:05
know? You know, it means that you're
10:06
going outside, you're getting vitamin D.
10:08
Yeah, yeah. That's healthy.
10:09
You're a healthy guy. Exactly.
10:11
You know what? I don't mind it.
10:12
You know why? I'm bad if I'm if I'm peeling,
10:14
'cause I'm gonna fucking sit there and fucking peel and.
10:17
Destroy. That's not.
10:18
Good then, that. That's apparently the worst
10:20
thing you can do. Yeah, I feel like I got a scar
10:22
from. That I don't care.
10:23
Very satisfying. Very satisfying.
10:26
Like, you ever get a you ever get a tattoo?
10:29
And it's and it's healing and you just start fucking.
10:31
With the dot dude heal. It off.
10:35
Frankie has no tattoos. Not one.
10:37
I got no tattoos. That's crazy.
10:38
You don't even have like a Jay-Z engine tattoo.
10:43
Like a random, Like a random hidden one on Frankie?
10:46
No, Are you? Sure you don't?
10:47
Nothing yet? No.
10:49
Will you nothing on the butt? Yeah, would you ever get one?
10:52
I mean, you should get like parrot, like lipstick, just a
10:54
little kiss right on, on the on the ass, Yeah.
10:57
I mean. I want to do that.
11:00
You should do that if. There's anybody better if it
11:02
wasn't off it looks but it would blend.
11:04
Better if it's you. But if you know, that would be
11:08
fucking hard as hell. Be like, I don't know.
11:10
There you go. Malcolm, what do you feel about
11:12
that? How you feel about?
11:13
That yeah, you should get it. Colored like a colored one boy I
11:17
knew a girl. There was a girl in my high
11:19
school that had lips on her ass or something.
11:22
I was like, what? Oh, kiss Mark.
11:24
I was like, that's kind of crazy.
11:25
That's your only tattoo. I remember when she got that
11:27
too. Kind of like that's kind of a
11:28
little. Wait, so you never got a tattoo
11:31
at the freaking track before? No.
11:34
Malcolm did. What'd you get, Malcolm?
11:37
Is it a Jay-Z engine? No, it's like a little cowboy
11:40
guy with a gun and a sack of money.
11:44
Shout out is that Bob? Is that Bobby?
11:47
Billy, Billy. Yeah, Billy.
11:49
Billy. That was that was the most
11:51
random thing that. I ever witnessed.
11:55
Like part of me now is kind of like, I don't want to get any
11:57
tattoos because I don't have any now.
11:58
I'm kind of like, what if I just don't get any ever?
12:01
Well, now you got prime real estate, dude.
12:02
You could do any. You can go crazy, yo.
12:04
How do you? Feel about the blacking out
12:07
thing with tattoos. I only did it because I had
12:09
something to black out. It looked terrible.
12:11
Where you're talking. About my entire from here to
12:13
here was all something. It was like one thing that I
12:16
didn't like when I got when I was 18 and I covered it up with
12:18
this, it was super black when I first got it.
12:20
So I was like, I got to cover it up with something else.
12:22
It's super dark. So I was like, OK, let's go with
12:25
fucking space or something. So that I, I went and I started
12:29
doing a space thing and that dude who was doing that was like
12:32
not thinking properly about how he was going to space all the
12:35
planets. And then it was going to be
12:36
like, I was going to start having planets on like my
12:38
fingers and shit. And I'm like, that's not going
12:40
to work. So I was like, let's just stop
12:41
right here. Fully blacked out the whole
12:44
thing. That kind of looks good.
12:46
Yeah, you have. You have a pattern in it.
12:48
I was like, I don't think that's blacked out.
12:50
Am I? Like I'm rubbing my eyes and
12:52
shit. It's likely.
12:52
Yeah, I guess it is, but. I will say this is like 3 or 4
12:56
layers of white and it will continue to come out forever, so
13:00
it's like totally a curse. You know it's not a blessing.
13:03
And the white will fade eventually and then you got to
13:05
go back over the white again and then.
13:07
So it's way harder to upkeep. Yes.
13:09
So that's like a black and then the white is over top of it.
13:13
Like that's not your skin, no. No, no, The best thing that you
13:16
could do, otherwise I'd be really tan.
13:18
Hell yeah. The best thing you could do is
13:19
if you're going to do it, just know what the white is going to
13:22
be beforehand and then just use your like actual skin tone as
13:26
the white. Like just do the negative space
13:28
or something I didn't think about.
13:29
But that's usually not how it goes, because it's exactly what
13:32
happened with you. It's usually like, oh, I'm just
13:33
gonna black this out and then. Which is why you were in the
13:36
perfect position. Right now I'm just gonna.
13:39
I'm just gonna tell you my body black.
13:40
I'm. Black, you're inside.
13:43
My body. Black my whole body out you
13:45
wore. That for different reasons bro.
13:47
More. Suits you're about to be.
13:48
So tactical at night bro, like you just take your shirt off
13:52
you're instantly. You disappear.
13:53
Creeping around bro, just. I'm not.
13:55
I still want to talk about this thing, though.
13:57
You see, like the people with like, they just turned black
13:59
overnight. Like now they're just blacked
14:00
out everywhere. Oh yeah, for sure.
14:02
Is that kind of crazy? It definitely is.
14:03
Would you do something like? That I mean, I did it.
14:05
Well that's not he literally just told him.
14:07
I just did. This whole last.
14:08
Thing, yeah, but that looks. Good.
14:09
Nah, I mean. Like that I.
14:11
Made the best that I could with it.
14:13
I mean like your whole fucking like this this just straight
14:16
black no pattern. I don't know why people do that.
14:18
I have friends that have that. Yeah, Austin even has his arm
14:21
like that. I don't know if it's like
14:22
temporary, yeah, to like fill it up later with white or something
14:27
or I don't know. I don't know.
14:28
Some people take longer. Some people are just like, I'm
14:30
cool with having a black arm, yeah.
14:32
Even the white on top of the black is blowing my mind because
14:35
I was like, why did I not? I didn't know people did that.
14:39
Listen, don't do it. That's all the viewers and
14:41
listeners out there. Don't do it.
14:43
Like a tattoo. A tattoo is one thing.
14:45
Tattooing your whole fucking arm black is another thing.
14:47
I'm just I'm cackling at the fact that how white Frankie's
14:51
ass would be with just like a red kiss mark.
14:54
That's what I'm saying, it would be awesome.
14:58
You would be. Badass dude.
14:59
OK, how about this? What if an actual girl?
15:02
Came and kissed my. Ass kissed your ass and then it
15:05
would. Be and then it's.
15:06
Better you have to tattoo whatever.
15:08
Unless it's Ariana Grande, no. All right, viewers put Ariana
15:12
Grande, hit her up on on Twitter right now.
15:14
I'll be like we. Need this.
15:16
I'll get her tattoo on my hand. I'll just say, yeah, I'll get
15:19
that. No.
15:20
Kiss that is not nearly as exciting.
15:23
Yeah, yeah, like of the kiss on your ass.
15:26
I'm not getting a kiss on my ass bro.
15:29
Nobody said I would do it. I would.
15:30
I would. I might do it.
15:32
Yeah, if you got it, I would. Probably do it that I wouldn't
15:34
even be surprised. All right.
15:35
If I do it, you do it. Yeah, that's cool all.
15:38
Right. I would do it.
15:40
Malcolm would do it. Would you get it done?
15:41
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, let's get Malcolm
15:43
involved in this shit. Yeah, I'm good.
15:44
In the room, Malcolm, Why wouldn't.

16:00
What about a tramp stamp? I mean if you want to do that
16:07

16:09
instead of the kissy tattoo on that if.
16:11
Carl gets a tramp stamp. I'll do whatever you want on my
16:13
body. Fucking.
16:14
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, Carl's would just say
16:16
Toyota. The Jay-Z engine right above
16:20
there, that's. Fucking nuts.
16:21
What if he does it? Then he starts making millions
16:23
of dollars because like the sponsors are like, dude, this is
16:26
free. This is advertisement right
16:28
here, real estate right there. This guy is at Faction and he's
16:30
got that shit. Dude, this.
16:32
We got to give him thousands of dollars a month.
16:35
I don't know dude. I don't know about this.
16:36
Did all the tattoos come with time and doing the whole band
16:41
thing or did you always have tattoos like the rest of your
16:45
life, Like the whole your life? I I started when I was 18.
16:49
Obviously, I was very excited growing up.
16:51
When you're in like the metal scene, you love tattoos.
16:53
There's a lot of people that I knew.
16:54
Covered. Right away, I mean, people that
16:56
I knew were like getting going to Saint Mark's in New York City
16:59
and fucking getting tattooed like 17.
17:02
Yeah, I was like, I'm not going to do that.
17:03
I'm going to be mad responsible and wait till I was 18.
17:06
So I did. I did.
17:08
That was one year, just one year, 1718.
17:11
My mom said hell no. So I was just like, I gotta wait
17:14
till I make 18. It's fine.
17:15
We're gonna do that anyway. Yeah, But I started with one and
17:19
then 1 turned to two. I didn't really wanna get my
17:21
fingers done until I was like, I'm gonna have a good job.
17:25
But then I realized I got older. I was like, I don't know if I'm
17:27
ever gonna have a good job. I don't have like a proper
17:30
education. I didn't go.
17:31
I went to college. I didn't finish college.
17:32
I'm like, you know, I'm just gonna try.
17:34
My best going to do. I wanted to what did you could
17:37
have been an engineer. I wanted to be a freaking
17:40
architect 'cause I love building shit.
17:42
Still do to this day. Me.
17:43
Too. I was trying to go to
17:44
architecture too man. I was there.
17:46
I was that close here now I stopped.
17:49
I just I was so bad at school, dude.
17:51
You know, I'd be like, I used to smoke a lot even more weed back
17:54
then. So that was like, OK, what are
17:56
we gonna do? Should we smoke weed and then go
17:57
to class? Yeah, let's do it.
17:58
I'll smoke weed and then I'll like, fuck, now I don't really
18:01
wanna go to class. I might just go home, you know
18:03
you guys. Got a lot in common.
18:04
I feel like whoa got a lot in common like.
18:07
Dude like I guess but I would smoke weed and then go to class
18:12
because I feel like it made it funnier for me.
18:15
Like I get the I. Retain nothing.
18:18
I retain nothing. I'm there for the pure
18:20
entertainment of it. And then how to get by with
18:23
minimal effort as possible. That's it.
18:26
Well, that was me as well, and that's why I had to drop out and
18:29
that's why I had to put just. A little bit more I guess.
18:33
You know. He you're, you're friends with
18:35
someone who's friends with Chris, right?
18:37
There's like a mutual friend there.
18:38
John Kane. No.
18:40
I mean you have a couple of mutual.
18:41
Friends Chris that works here. Chris Tony Strange, Tony
18:44

18:46
Hell no. No.
18:48
OK, he lives. He lives in Florida.
18:49
Not that, Tony. Strange.
18:51
That's sick because we. Need great stories because of
18:53
his name being strange, literally.
18:56
Like his actual name? Yeah, like his last name, like
18:59
we were in the, I noticed kids since I was in high school, like
19:02
we were, we went super far back and there were times we were
19:04
just doing bad shit in like the library and then like, like
19:09
breaking things or like stealing things that we shouldn't be
19:12
doing. And and they were like, OK,
19:14
well, they were like, what the hell is your name?
19:16
All right, what's your name? But yeah, my name is Will.
19:17
I was like, OK, cuz we got in trouble obviously.
19:19
And you're like, and what's your name?
19:20
My name is Tony Strange. And he's just like, OK, but your
19:22
last name is like Strange. And then she thought that he was
19:24
like actually just lying to come up with a name.
19:27
It's just a great name. It's a really.
19:29
Good. Like band name.
19:30
Like a metal name, literally. Tony Strange.
19:33
I'm like, oh, he must be. He's in a band.
19:36
Nope, that's just. That's just his name.
19:38
That's fucking crazy. He's just a strange guy.
19:40
A strange guy with. That last name, you got to live
19:42
up to it at that. Point.
19:43
Well, he definitely does some. Strange shit all the time.
19:46
He lives up to it because I remember the first connection.
19:49
Yeah, First time you came here, Chris, like, knew you better
19:51
than I. I didn't even know you.
19:52
And then I was like, wait, he's in a band, this and that.
19:55
And then Chris was like, oh, wait, yeah, he's we have a
19:57
mutual friend. And then you guys were talking
19:59
over there. I was like, what the fuck?
20:01
Yeah, that was crazy. So I didn't realize you, you
20:03
basically grew up right around. I grew up in Edgewater, yeah,
20:06
like Leonia Edgewater area. So I used to come to East
20:09
Rutherford all the time for like Wallington Lanes, which I
20:12
technically is Wallington. Yeah, yeah, but it's right over
20:15
the. Tony strangers to live here in
20:17
East Rutherford. Tony Strange and.
20:21
You got to say his last name. His name, it's just the name.
20:24
It's just so funny. It blows off the tongue, really.
20:28
Tony Strange, bro, you don't know Tony.
20:30
Yeah, Tony, Strange dude. It used to be around like
20:33
somewhere around the train station, like 2-3 blocks away.
20:36
So I used to come over here a lot.
20:39
And then how'd you get into music?
20:40
Like what age were you when you were starting that?
20:43
Yeah, because you wanted to be an architect.
20:44
I I those those two. Things, they're like fucking
20:47
like I. Feel like that's right from the.
20:49
Well. It's fucking.
20:51
I always, I, I felt like I was a nerd growing up and I just
20:55
slowly grew out of this nerdy world.
20:58
I'm still the nerd, you know, now.
20:59
But like, back then I used to wear like freaking Aeropostale
21:02
all the time. Whoa.
21:03
Whoa. Whoa, you're talking too loud.
21:05
You're talking too loud. Wait, wait, we all wore
21:08
Aeropostale? But you definitely did.
21:10
You can't be nerdy dude. It's all good.
21:12
You definitely did. Swear to God, OK, fuck you, we
21:15
all come. From humble, we come from humble
21:17
beginnings out here. I was a skater boy my whole
21:19
life. So what were you wearing then?
21:21
Vans fucking hawk fucking all this.
21:24
And all that shit to skate. I was skating my Aeropostale
21:27
shit. I started like that and then
21:28
Tony Strange came by and started making fun of me.
21:31
Was like, you got to start wearing skinny jeans bro Tony.
21:34
Strange right here. Yeah, Tony Strange.
21:37
You're Tony Strange. You could be Tony Strange.
21:39
So Tony ruined you? No, he put him on.
21:41
He was. Definitely the, you know, the,
21:43
the straw that broke the camel's bag.
21:45
After that, it was all downhill. It was freaking, I was crazy
21:48
silence. And then I love listening to
21:50
metal. And then I still love like doing
21:52
building shit and like going to class for like architect stuff
21:54
because there was an architect class in my high school.
21:57
And then, you know, you get older, your parents are like,
21:59
you got to get a fucking job. And I'm like, oh, but I love
22:02
music. All right, I'll get a job or
22:03
I'll guess I'll go to college for this thing and pray that it
22:05
gets me a job. And then you still love music.
22:07
And then, I don't know, years go by, you drop out of college, you
22:11
get a bunch of shitty jobs, you decide to make a band.
22:16
Damn. Or join a band and then now you
22:18
get here. Look how happy you are like.
22:20
This is not bad. It's not bad this.
22:22
Whole time like Will's been smiling this whole time for
22:25
those of you who are not watching.
22:26
I will see you when that happened, like when you actually
22:28
got into the and that was your first band.
22:29
Like, is Lorna Shore your first band?
22:31
But Lorna Shore is not my first. OK, so you've been.
22:33
I've been in a lot of bands growing up.
22:36
I couldn't. It's probably more than 5.
22:37
Some of them just don't have names.
22:39
Like it's a bunch of this classic.
22:41
When you're younger, you're trying to make a band with
22:42
people. You're like, oh, dude, let's
22:43
call my friends. Yes.
22:44
Can you play a bass? I don't know.
22:46
OK, great. Now you're playing the bass, but
22:48
not everybody's really there, 100.
22:51
Percent of us here know. That is it all my friends.
22:55
All my friends play music. I've seen that happen like 5
22:57
times with the same people too. People that play bass usually
23:00
did not start playing bass usually.
23:02
Like they usually just were doing nothing.
23:04
And then somebody was like, yeah, we need you to play this
23:05
bass for a thing. He's like, all right, fuck yeah,
23:07
I'm going to do the bass and they get really good at it and
23:09
shit. What made you just what made you
23:11
just start rifling off with the bass?
23:13
Because there was there was a basement in my college house,
23:17
and our one roommate was pretty musically inclined.
23:21
They formed a band. They needed a bass player.
23:23
They found some dude off Craigslist.
23:24
It's always a. Craigslist.
23:25
Craigslist was fire back then. Still, maybe like the tail end
23:29
of Craigslist. But he.
23:30
Showed up and he was kind of weird.
23:33
I'm not even going to lie to you.
23:35
He was really fucking weird. He wrote one song and we went to
23:37
their open mic night and it was about like, he opened up on the
23:41
mic and he was like, this one's about my foot fetish.
23:44
And then we were, we were, we were in the like, it was BYO.
23:48
I'm sitting there. I'm like.
23:49
What did he just? Say and jet my my roommates
23:52
behind him. Like what the fuck did he just
23:54
say? Is he so?
23:55
Was it a banger or not kind? Of hard.
23:58
It was pretty good song, no? Yeah, I mean I.
23:59
Just I just appreciate the I'm not musically talented, so when
24:03
somebody else is right, I'm just in full admiration of that
24:07
person cuz cuz it's a skill that yeah, I can't take that take
24:11
away from that person. I mean, everybody's got a some
24:13
kind of skill that they're really good at.
24:15
That's what I like to think of it as.
24:16
It's like whatever you usually really like is the thing that
24:18
you're, whether it's knowing information about something or
24:21
doing that thing in itself, it's like everybody's good at
24:24
something, you know? Yeah, I'm just this is just the
24:25
one. It took a long like freaking, I
24:29
don't know, 10 years for anything to happen.
24:31
Good. So.
24:32
So just being persistent and just keeping at it I guess got
24:36
you. I don't know.
24:36
Somebody found me. It got mad.
24:37
I got really lucky with Lauren. I'm not gonna.
24:39
I was like on my last band. I was like, I'm gonna.
24:41
As soon as this band is over, I give up.
24:43
I've done. I've tried like too many times.
24:47
Nothing happened. As soon as this ends, I'm done.
24:50
It's a. Fucking tough career.
24:51
It is and it is. It's not very rewarding.
24:53
You spend a lot of money, especially in the beginning,
24:55
like you're going on tour, you need to rent bands you to take
24:57
off at work. A lot of places fire you because
25:00
they don't want you to take off of work.
25:01
So you got to have a specific job.
25:03
And the more older you get into it, the more, I guess the older
25:06
you get, the more you get into it and the less other people get
25:09
into it because they start to realize, OK, well, I got to have
25:11
a real job now because I'm 27 or some shit like that, you know?
25:15
And like, damn, that makes sense.
25:17
You really should get a job. Hopefully at least start
25:20
thinking about like a Plan B, you know, I'm really.
25:23
Glad that we're all kind of in the same head.
25:25
Well, at least. But that's that's.
25:27
Right now, me and Will, we're on that, that story of all tumbling
25:30
through jobs because you don't know what you're going to do.
25:32
And then now the same thing happened to me.
25:34
I tumbled through a bunch of jobs and I finished, I finished
25:36
college. But let me tell you, I didn't
25:38
really learn anything. Thank you.
25:41
That took a lot, a lot of Adderall and a lot of weed and a
25:46
lot of like, but it was a business degree.
25:49
It's not the degree I want. I wanted to be an architect, but
25:52
business is like you could kind of chat through school.
25:55
Right. But now you're out here working
25:56
on cars. Now I don't know.
25:58
Now I didn't know what to. Do that work out It's.
25:59
Just like I didn't know what to do and I feel like maybe I if I
26:04
was maybe. Well, he had a lot.
26:06
Made a different. He had a lot of office.
26:07
Jobs had a lot of office jobs tumbled through every single
26:10
one. Just don't like reporting to
26:12
somebody who's telling me shit that don't make sense.
26:15
I kind of like that. I used to work in an office too,
26:17
and one of my many jobs. I loved it really did.
26:20
Only because I looked. I looked like the craziest
26:22
person there dude. You're the guy that's like, yo,
26:25
that guy looks crazy. Yeah, that.
26:27
Was me. I was that guy.
26:28
Like everyone's mad normal and I just like show up.
26:31
I got big ears, I got my hands tattooed and like all this shit.
26:35
Dude, it's pretty dope. And they had coffee every
26:37
fucking day. Every for free because.
26:39
And it's free exactly because there's always a coffee machine.
26:41
It's always going, dude, I was curious.
26:43
You know what's? With the coffee over there and
26:45
the water machine at Corporate Environment Classic.
26:47
Higher they have the freshly sprinkled sparkled water.
26:52
You ever seen that before? It's the thing.
26:54
It's sparkles. You're they have like classic
26:56
water and then sparkle water and then there's like warm water
26:58
obviously, you know, for the three spouts, but you click on
27:01
the one that's sparkling spout, there's a third spout.
27:03
Yeah, yeah, makes it. They made they made the third
27:06
spout for the some of them and it shoots out sparkling water.
27:09
That's crazy. Some like weird pros of of
27:12
working in that place. It gave me like a lot of
27:14
perspective of what maybe I didn't want to be.
27:17
Some of the people were in there and they they lived to be at
27:20
work. And you could probably see
27:21
people who hate their fucking. Lives.
27:22
Yeah. And I'm, I'm like, well, I
27:23
don't, I don't want to. Yeah, I don't want to fucking do
27:26
that. Yeah.
27:27
So how'd you get here? I I just I was doing.
27:29
He doesn't work here, he only does this, but he work.
27:32
He's just started his own thing, painting cars and shit so.
27:35
I was doing like the I like for the past year and a half.
27:38
I was like teetering on painting cars and doing the office thing
27:41
at the same time. Then I did a painting thing for
27:43
a little bit to learn a little bit more.
27:46
And then one day I just like quit that job because they were
27:50
trying to push me to do. They didn't want to have that
27:53
quality of work. They just wanted it out the
27:55
door. And like, I like caring about
27:58
the shit. Of course I appreciate.
28:02
I feel like I appreciate things that maybe other people might
28:04
appreciate, like make going the extra mile.
28:06
Even if my extra mile isn't like fucking the proper standard, at
28:09
least I went that extra mile because I care about the person
28:13
who's paying. For it, especially at the end of
28:15
the day, if you're doing like car stuff, like you, you like
28:17
cars, you wanted to come out in a certain level, yeah.
28:20
To walk away from something and be like, oh, it's not properly
28:22
done. I would hate.
28:23
I know that feeling when you're really investing, you're just
28:26
like, okay, yeah, just take it like, why didn't I?
28:30
Do why didn't I like go and do that?
28:32
And then you're just thinking about it for the rest of the
28:33
day, rest of the week. Yep.
28:35
Like I should have did that, Yeah.
28:36
So you paint cars you like a Mako?
28:38
Like a Mako. Kind of kind of this.
28:40
Time yes, all this time he's like a.
28:42
I have a couple of cars under I. Got a car painting and an origin
28:48
kit ready to be bought? 1600 for an all over is with the
28:52
paint. Whoa, yeah, Really.
28:54
Yeah. I try to keep it pretty cheap
28:55
because it's just me and like it.
28:58
I think at that number, the paint's a good chunk of the
29:02
price of that, but at that number I get a little bit of
29:05
money. The customer that's cheaper than
29:08
a lot of places that I've heard and.
29:10
How long does it take to get done is the question.
29:12
A week? Wow.
29:13
Yeah, you're good, dude. Yeah, he's your.
29:16
He's your go to. I like to work real hard.
29:18
Well, I just got a new car. I heard.
29:20
So. Is that not public knowledge?
29:24
No, that's OK, so people can know.
29:27
Fucker. Why?
29:28
Did you tell that earlier? People can know about.
29:31
I was all right. I was like.
29:33
Well, the. Car.
29:36
I'm stoked, dude. I don't know.
29:37
It's this is it everybody. I got a new car.
29:40
It'll be at the track soon, hopefully, but it needs to be
29:42
repainted or wrapped or something.
29:45
It is a shell of a vehicle. It has been destroyed.
29:47
Art. You know, I feel like he's going
29:50
to want you to wrap it. Yeah, right.
29:52
He's probably going to. Want to wrap it?
29:55
I mean, people usually rap, but like a rap is fucking, I'm not
29:58
going to lie. I mean, I guess it depends on
30:00
who's doing your wrap. I usually send my wraps to like
30:02
my boy Artie. Yeah, and automotive specialty.
30:06
They charge like 2 grand I think to wrap a whole.
30:08
Yeah. I just found out that's actually
30:10
probably a good price. It is really expensive, did you
30:12
know that? So that's what I'm saying you
30:14
can either wrap or paint and when you paint now I'm starting
30:16
to notice like unless you go and you want to get like a $15,000
30:20
brand new BMW special color paint job.
30:23
You know, it just makes more sense to just get it.
30:26
I personally 18116 hundred paint job I.
30:28
Like paint on drift cars for a couple reasons, but the first
30:31
reason is when you crash, there's not like vinyl hanging
30:33
off. Yeah.
30:34
I don't like, I'm not really into that.
30:35
I like when it's like torn and then it's but there but the
30:39
pieces are all still painted. Yeah, I'd rather be.
30:41
Shit looks great and like went through.
30:43
The. War.
30:44
Yeah. And I'm like damn.
30:45
Yeah, rap is kind of in on a drift car, but.
30:48
I feel like everyone does it though.
30:49
Everybody. Does I think they do it 'cause
30:51
they buy a kit from like Amazon and like I can do this myself
30:54
and then it comes out like shit and everything Like if, if
30:57
automotive wrapping all of them, yeah, they would all do it.
31:00
But they, the way that they get in them, damn.
31:03
Like in the vents, Yeah, yeah, and all that.
31:05
Shit, that's insane if you think.
31:07
If you think you're picking that up from a YouTube.
31:09
Video. Yeah, no, you're.
31:11
Bugging, I just want to say I tried you did.
31:13
I wrapped a what was it my tail lights on the Z because I I
31:17
found some like tinted smoky thing.
31:21
I was like, I'm not going to buy the tail lights.
31:22
I'm just going to wrap it myself.
31:24
It can't be that hard. No.
31:27
It can't be that hard. Here we go.
31:28
It's literally like, here's the exterior of the thing.
31:31
It's like this big, you know what I mean?
31:33
There's not a lot. It's not a lot.
31:35
Some curvage, couple curvage. I didn't realize how painful the
31:38
curvage was going to be. It is hard, that dude.
31:40
And the hardest part is that well, I don't have anything to
31:44
properly hold the light. So think this think about this,
31:48
you need something to hold the light, like a clamp.
31:50
You need 2 hands to like wrap it over.
31:54
Yeah, to put it a. Hand.
31:55
You need a hand to hold the heat.
31:58
Gun, that's your third hand. That's the fourth hand, so a
32:01
clamp and three hands. Literally.
32:05
Dude, I'm like, I'm trying to hold it with one hand because I
32:07
don't have clamps. So I'm like holding the light
32:09
with this hand and I'm like folding it here and then I'm
32:11
like trying to stretch. I'm not OK.
32:13
This is the craziest thing I ever did, but I'm not going.
32:15
It was absolutely genius. I had my ladder next to me and I
32:18
had like 3 clamps. These clamps could hold on to
32:21
something but not the the actual light itself.
32:24
So I had a heat gun on constantly like just running
32:27
clamped to the ladder pointing like this.
32:30
It's actually smart. Thank you.
32:32
See there you go. I'm at engineering.
32:33
See that? What the fuck is up?
32:35
Fuck you. Bergen community.
32:37
Bergen Community College. You're.
32:38
Fucking we all went to Bergen. Wait, if you're 30, you.
32:44
Gotta have been at Bergen at the same time as me bro.
32:47
Me too. I was on the I was on the four
32:48
year plan. We probably all went at the same
32:49
time. I.
32:50
Was at Bergen for three fucking years.
32:52
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was bad.
32:54
I was like, this supposed to be two years, I thought.
32:56
Poked. So much weed at Bergen from.
32:59
100% that was the best place to smoke weed.
33:01
Dude I love. I miss Bergen community.
33:04
Dude, you walk. That you walk into the fucks.
33:07
Go to Dunkin' Donuts. I miss Dunkin' Donuts,
33:10
everybody. Right when you walk in into the
33:12
into the my buddy called that place the jungle because one
33:15
day, one day it was what was that movie?
33:18
Mean Girls? OK, yeah.
33:19
Where they had a scene. Where they were going?
33:20
It turned into a jungle. It turned into a.
33:22
Jungle. There was one day they were
33:24
having like some sort of cultural festival where everyone
33:29
was screaming in there and I'm just trying to go to go to
33:33
class. I was a nerd, bro.
33:35
My Aeropostale was rage. Probably Hollister I.
33:39
Kind of never. Rage it, I just want to go to
33:41
class I. Kind of never went into that
33:42
main area, only for Dunkin' Donuts.
33:44
Yeah, there was a Dunkin' Donuts in there.
33:45
Yes, the. Only.
33:46
Thing that's the only reason I went in there other than that
33:48
there were weird motherfuckers you.
33:49
Ever go to the you ever go to the the Bergen Community College
33:52
cafeterias? Yes.
33:53
Did you know they had a cafeteria?
33:54
I have gone there. Upstairs, it's the.
33:57
Smallest guy It looks like a. Hospital cat.
34:00
I've never been in there. It's a small.
34:03
You know the main room you like, Walk down that first hallway.
34:06
Yeah, yeah, the one that's right next to Duncan.
34:09
It's very great in there, bro. Like in that, in that because
34:12
that's the original. Building and I feel like they
34:14
didn't change anything up there. I don't know.
34:15
The amount of times I cut class and went to the Popeye's right
34:18
there was unbelievable. I missed that shit dude.
34:21
I had some good history professors in.
34:23
There, this is the second time, he said.
34:25
I love history dude. I just remember with my history
34:27
professors, it was so much fun. That was my worst class Fuck I
34:30
think I barely passed or I failed it every year but you
34:33
needed it. I think it was like if you get 2
34:35
fails, you fail, you got to do the grade again.
34:37
So I was just like, I'll save my one fail for history.
34:41
So what's your favorite? Subject Math and science all day
34:44
here. Math and science architecture
34:46
nerd guy opposite nerd guy Will. That's crazy.
34:50
English and literature a lot you could bullshit around in that
34:53
class. Pretty there's there's good
34:54
leniency. I don't.
34:55
Hate that? You know what I mean?
34:57
You, you could like, you could like make the word count.
35:01
You know what I mean? In math and science math,
35:03
there's one or two like there's, there's an answer, there's a
35:06
definitive answer at the end. Yeah, I like.
35:08
That and then you there's history, which I was horrible at
35:11
'cause you have to remember. That's my words.
35:13
I smoke too much weed for that. My brain.
35:15
History, dude. I would smoke weed in college.
35:19
I'd leave, smoke weed, come back, go to class, come back to
35:23
get into my car. Can't find my car because I
35:26
don't remember where I parked it 'cause I was so fucking stoned
35:29
dude. So there was a 0% chance that I
35:32
was learning anything, dude. My history.
35:34
Remember it required. Reminder, I miss Bergen.
35:36
'S dude. Why Doug?
35:37
I don't know you know what, but I do.
35:39
About Bergen the. The night classes like you leave
35:42
the Suns down, you get your car crazy.
35:44
I don't. Know it was fun.
35:45
But the parking lot there was so sick.
35:48
It was sick. It was so sick to drift.
35:50
Just crazy fucking in there 'cause it was.
35:52
It was like a bunch of you. Yeah, it was like this bad kids
35:55
and. There was like all these grass
35:57
pads, like the Teletubbies fucking yeah.
36:00
Land in there? Were you guys at like peak
36:02
drifting time at that age? I don't know about.
36:06
You. Yeah, it's just about the same
36:07
time I. I started going to Bergen right
36:10
when I started drifting, so that was like right at the.
36:13
Start of the that was the the beginner days.
36:15
It was the beginner, but it was definitely.
36:16
The C group, the C group days, yeah, for sure.
36:18
I would see Chris, the other tech here, he would have AZ and
36:23
Star drift and was drifting and I would have a knot car.
36:26
I would have a non rear wheel drive car and it would make me
36:30
feel so inferior. That sounds about right.
36:32
I was like damn. I got to get into that.
36:34
Until it rained or snowed and. Then then now you look like a
36:39
weenie and then Chris is doing shit.
36:40
Like, we definitely went there and when it snowed, too.
36:42
It was sick. You would go there and like, you
36:45
would have a snow day, you'd get out of class.
36:46
Everybody's already gone. Dude having a 240 at Bergen was
36:50
pretty sick. It was sick and you know the
36:52
under garage thing would just smell like pot all the time.
36:55
Because Oh yeah, that was a good place to smoke you.
36:58
Like you're smoking in your car and you look like 3 cars down.
37:00
There's another car that smoked down.
37:02
And. You're like fuck.
37:04
That makes sense because I never parked in that fucking.
37:05
Lot. Oh, I always parked there.
37:07
Yeah, yeah, that was classic, remember?
37:09
You remember like opening opening day, whatever the fuck
37:12
they call it the first day, like when they first.
37:14
This week or whatever. Yeah, whatever it is.
37:15
Dude that lot was packed. And then it would just.
37:18
Gone because everyone just drops.
37:20
Out everyone the first week drops.
37:22
I get it. Yeah.
37:23
Just me. Yeah, I know.
37:24
You're talking about me. Yeah, I did.
37:25
I fucking. That's why we've never.
37:27
Seen you there dude. They.
37:30
Dropped out. It's.
37:31
Crazy though because people be parking on the lawn and shit the
37:33
first two weeks and then within the first month everyone's gone
37:36
and you're like oh this is easy now.
37:38
Dude I had a Spanish night class there and it was the craziest
37:42
experience. Ever it was.
37:44
Like a Spanish one. And like, I just had to make
37:47
credits at that point. Yeah.
37:49
And like I should take that. That's a good idea.
37:51
What do you what do you mean I should take that?
37:53
I should go back dude, I just want to go back.
37:55
I want to do it too. I want to go back for Japanese
37:57
though. Can we?
37:58
I'm down. I want to learn Japanese that's
38:00
not sick. I'm down if you.
38:02
Listen, you don't know anything about that because you don't.
38:03
You haven't been in. I haven't been yet.
38:05
You guys, you guys have. Yeah, you went.
38:07
I'm going on tour. How was that Japan trip you went
38:09
on tour for? For that, right?
38:10
We were on tour. We did one day.
38:12
It was the last day of the tour in Tokyo so we stayed.
38:15
Me and my girlfriend stayed in Tokyo for or not Tokyo but Japan
38:18
in general. So all of it for like 3 weeks.
38:22
But. It was like the best three weeks
38:26
I've ever had in my life in a long time.
38:28
Dude, three weeks somewhere, I'd feel like I'm living there.
38:31
Like you know you. Basically are.
38:33
I was a little Japanese. I became a little Japanese.
38:36
Dude, for sure. OK, give me give me something
38:39
that you miss from there right now like you would want it
38:41
Wagyu. Really. 100% the.
38:43
Meat is like that, much better. Dude, it was like the Wagyu was
38:47
so good. It's better than every steak
38:49
that we've ever had in America. And it was like $4.00 for like a
38:54
piece like this big. So you would go and like imagine
39:00
you know all you can eat sushi where you leave and you feel
39:03
terrible because you ate so much.
39:06
I did that every single day and still only spent like 15 bucks
39:12
on a big dinner with alcohol with unlimited Wagyu.
39:16
Whereas if you did that same thing here, it would be like
39:19
$150.00. So it was like every day it was
39:22
let's go get something. Let's spend money extravagantly
39:27
because it's so much cheaper. Yeah, we got a nice hotel.
39:31
They was like 1000 bucks for like a week and a half.
39:34
And it was like prime time. I was like, yo, I'm now I'm rich
39:40
and famous. I broke it.
39:42
Made it right here. How to change up on your day
39:45
ones right now right here. So that's the best place ever
39:49
dude. Wow.
39:50
I can't wait though, I'm going to October.
39:52
I loved it. I I didn't eat enough food, man.
39:54
I just wasn't with, I guess the right group of people.
39:56
I'll call them out. Call him out.
39:58
I was just saying how you tried stuff.
40:00
I thought you tried stuff. I'll try anything, but everyone
40:03
I was with had their own little thing.
40:04
No seafood, no. Sushi, no.
40:07
What? This.
40:08
No, I'm like, OK, so one night I went out.
40:11
What do you mean no sushi? Yeah.
40:13
I was like, no seafood in Japan. I know.
40:16
I'm allergic. Who are they?
40:17
Ethan. Ethan Lazarus.
40:20
Wait, Ethan, what the fuck is your problem?
40:22
He doesn't eat fucking fish, dude.
40:24
But he's not alert. Is he allergic?
40:26
No. If I wasn't allergic to fish.
40:29
Are you actually allergic to fish?
40:30
Like, you know, people like I'm allergic to tomatoes, but they
40:32
just hate tomatoes. How could you be allergic to a
40:34
dish? It's like 90.
40:35
Percent. Coriander.
40:36
Oh, I'm allergic to coriander. It's.
40:38
A pretty good seasoning that fuck with coriander.
40:40
People think it tastes like soap, which it does have for
40:42
other for some people, but you know, you're not allergic to it,
40:45
you just don't like it. For me it like my throat gets
40:48
itchy, my tongue gets puffy as fuck and like my is it all fish?
40:52
It's like there's an ingredient in seafood that like it.
40:56
It varies between things. Like I could have shrimp, I
40:59
can't eat fish, like straight up fish can't.
41:02
So it's not a shellfish thing. Wow, that sucks.
41:05
I'm sorry. But I've I've eaten fish dude
41:07
for the I got to taste it. Yeah, it's straight in the
41:10
hospital bed immediately. Looks good, I got to taste it.
41:13
There was like one night where I went out and I was alone and I
41:15
was like, OK, now's my time to shine.
41:18
I just go to. We were in Osaka.
41:19
I just went to like that. Main, that's a great place.
41:21
Yeah, what do they call it, Don? Don Quixote.
41:24
Something. Don Tan Buru, yes.
41:26
Yeah, I'm talking about something.
41:28
That's on Bori. Yeah, I butchered the.
41:30
No, I think you got. That on booty.
41:32
And and I went there and it's just basically like food carts
41:34
everywhere. I got everything I could.
41:36
I just started grabbing everything.
41:37
I was like they. Did good.
41:38
That that it was great. They have a lot of.
41:41
Those in Japan, a lot of them. Oh yeah, and it's all amazing.
41:44
Like, so then we next day they were like trying to pick
41:46
somewhere to eat and everyone's being all picky and I'm, I'm
41:48
just like, whatever, here we go again.
41:50
Go and get some crazy shit and then are.
41:52
You talking about Josh? It was Josh, me, Ethan, John or
41:56
something anyway. Josh, Ethan, what the fuck is
41:58
your brother? So then somehow we end up at a
42:02
Korean BBQ spot and I was like OK all right, this is kind of
42:05
cool. I do wish it was the fucking
42:07
Japanese version of that though. There is a Japanese version of
42:10
Korean BBQ. Japanese BBQ called that?
42:13
Is it called that? It's, I mean, it has a name, but
42:15
it's literally, I mean, that's what I call it.
42:17
Yeah. It's like JBBQ and that's where
42:19
they give you all the Wagyu and it's a Wagyu.
42:21
That is sounds delicious, but they also.
42:23
Give you other strange things in that that you would normally not
42:27
have like here's beef intestine oh like tripe and.
42:31
Try anything once. Oh, you ever seen tripe in the
42:33
supermarket? It's all spiky.
42:35
Yeah, a little scary. Spike, it looks like a it looks
42:38
like AI don't even know how to describe like a sponge if you
42:40
shredded it. Yeah, like I want to.
42:43
Drag my I'll. Try anything once except for
42:45
like an insect. I don't think I mean an insect.
42:46
No, I can't do that. Yeah.
42:47
That's the only thing. I draw the line there.
42:49
No grass. I feel like a grass is so fast
42:52
to eat. What about chicken feet?
42:54
You've never seen chicken feet on a stick?
42:56
That shit's crazy. I've never.
42:57
I mean, I've, I feel like I've seen it on a steak, but I would
43:01
never eat, I would eat a. Chicken foot way faster than a
43:05
fucking cock cricket or something.
43:06
I'm not eating a. Cock, I am not doing none of
43:08
that. How do you eat a chicken foot?
43:09
How much meat is in a damn chicken is.
43:11
What I'm saying I. Don't always.
43:12
Like they do, yeah. Do they eat it or do they like
43:15
use it for like a broth? Like if you're making a soup
43:17
like chicken foot soup, that sounds like.
43:19
Chicken feet, yeah. That's like Puerto Rican shit.
43:22
Are you a chicken? Feet person.
43:24
It's a Filipino shit dude I swear that's why.
43:26
That's why I know what it is. I'm like, I wouldn't eat like
43:28
that. I think it's a Hispanic thing.
43:30
Hispanic people love that. But dude, so I went in this
43:32
fucking Korean BBQ. Spot.
43:35
Went in, I was like, whatever, it's just Korean barbecues, but
43:37
it's not going to be that crazy. I don't know what we got.
43:40
I think we got, I don't know what it was.
43:42
Oh, it was that shit. Malcolm hates sarku pork belly.
43:46
Pork belly pork. Yeah, pork belly.
43:47
You don't like pork? Belly, you don't wanna get into
43:50
it. Are you fucking serious bro?
43:53
No weird bro. Not Korean BBQ pork belly.
43:56
That's so good. Right.
43:58
What are you talking? Dude, I take a bite.
44:00
I take a bite. I'm just like, whatever, take a
44:02
bite. I'm just like, I look at Ethan,
44:04
I go, is this the best Korean BBQ we've ever had or not or
44:07
not? And he's like, yeah, this is
44:09
fucking amazing. I was like, all right, cool.
44:11
I'm just making sure. Like out of nowhere, just a
44:13
random spot. We didn't even try to look up
44:14
anything nice. Dude, that's usually pretty
44:16
good. Like Japanese?
44:17
Yeah, standards for food are, yeah, much better than a. 100%
44:22
I. Feel like there's a different
44:23
level of care when they're like making it or when even even if
44:26
they're just like just an extra mile of like not maybe they
44:30
clean this shit. It is not all about money over
44:33
there and here it's all about money.
44:34
That's the difference between certain things.
44:36
Like they like someone making food over there.
44:38
He's not thinking about like, oh, how much did that?
44:40
Like, I don't think they're thinking about it like that.
44:42
I think they're thinking about it like how much they care about
44:46
having a good product. It's like how you feel about
44:49
working, like painting someone's car and just letting it go out
44:51
the door. Just good doing a little extra
44:53
to make sure that it looks real. Versus you just doing it fast
44:57
and making more money on because you did it fast.
44:59
Yeah, you know, that's the American.
45:00
I want it to look good. Yeah, that's that's how I feel
45:04
about did you. Do any drifting over there or
45:06
this wasn't really a drift trip? No, it wasn't a drift trip.
45:08
I wanted to, but I had to talk to Ibizu on through e-mail,
45:14
which was proving to be incredibly difficult as I didn't
45:17
have anybody that spoke Japanese and I definitely couldn't read
45:20
it. So I had to run everything
45:21
through Google Translate. They sent me one thing.
45:23
It was literally like AAPDF picture of the schedule, which
45:30
was like a big old grid. Just imagine a grid like you're
45:33
on a fucking Google Excel and there's a whole bunch of like
45:37
squares all over the place. And then there was just like
45:39
random Japanese lettering and like numbers and shit.
45:43
And it's like, this is when we're open and I'm looking at it
45:45
and I'm just like, I literally because because it's not in like
45:50
written like typed out, you can't just drag over it.
45:53
I don't even know how to begin translating this like dude at
45:57
all now. We got ChatGPT, it might be a
45:59
little different. I'll just.
46:00
I probably should have done that.
46:01
I would have been a go chat. GBT when should I go to NBC?
46:05
Yeah. Here's an image somebody wrote
46:07
out. What?
46:07
I don't know what this says. Help me.
46:08
Yeah, they. Probably could figure that out.
46:10
What were you there for besides eating?
46:13
Kind of where Front St. went over there because they had an
46:16
event they were going to do with thrash racing.
46:18
So that's sick, dude. It was this shit was crazy
46:22
because like at one point we were just, we were just in a
46:24
shop in Osaka surrounded by drift cars like, and I just like
46:29
looked around. I was like, I was like, yo, this
46:32
is kind of fucking crazy. That's a real Fast and the
46:34
Furious. Yeah, fucking feeling right
46:37
there. Yeah, I was like, this is kind
46:38
of insane. Like, what the fuck?
46:40
Like my buddy Ethan, I was like, yo, this is crazy that we're
46:42
here right now and he's like, yeah, I guess I didn't really
46:45
thought about it because we were up like every night working on
46:47
cars or like doing shit. So it was kind of just like it
46:50
literally was the same shit here before some crazy event, but we
46:53
were in Japan. And that's so dope.
46:55
There were just people that you couldn't talk to because you
46:57
didn't know the language, but you're like trying to like
47:00
communicate with them and everything.
47:01
Did you drive? I did not.
47:05
I think I drove on the street once or twice, but I did not
47:07
drove. You driving, dude?
47:08
I'm not gonna go. They wanted me to drift, but I
47:10
was like, you don't want to drift someone else's car on a
47:13
track I. Don't know.
47:14
We're gonna bring you back to C group in a minute if you don't
47:17
start fucking driving. I don't mind.
47:19
You're going, right? Yeah, I'll start.
47:21
I'll start over because. Sometimes the C group winds at
47:24
Club Blues are short as well. Sometimes they're fucking long.
47:26
Sometimes they're long as shit, yeah.
47:28
But no, yeah, I mean it was slightly.
47:32
I regret that, but the problem was I I never drifted right hand
47:34
drive, so I was like, that was a big thing.
47:36
I get that. So I was like, I'm going to get
47:38
one of these mother fuckers cars that just built their car.
47:40
You're going to crash this shit. It's going to explode.
47:43
Yeah, I mean, it would be funny, but it would still suck.
47:46
How's the metal scene in and in in Japan?
47:50
It's probably. It's so dope, but it is so
47:53
incredibly different than like, imagine like we're at a show,
47:56
you're at a show. Doesn't matter what show could
47:58
be any band, doesn't matter. Band just finishes and now you
48:03
got to wait for the next band to go on.
48:05
They usually play some music in the background.
48:08
Everybody, it's called changeover music.
48:10
Everybody, it's anything. It could be rap, it could be
48:12
fuck. It's usually inspired by the the
48:14
next band that goes on. They decide what's going to
48:16
play, and so you play stuff that like, oh, we're playing in, I
48:20
don't know, Texas. It'd be really cool if we had a
48:23
Texas changeover song. So this way it can hype up the
48:26
Texas people. And then you're playing it.
48:28
Everyone's getting hyped and you can hear them.
48:30
Everybody's singing in unison before the band even comes on.
48:33
You know, it's going to be a really good show.
48:34
Step one, play good changeover music so that you know they'll
48:37
sing. If they sing it, then it's going
48:38
to be sick. If they don't sing it, it might
48:40
be a little bit of an awkward show where people don't know
48:43
what to do, but otherwise, people are either singing it or
48:45
they're talking throughout the entire thing.
48:47
In Japan we had like 3000 people at this place and the muse I put
48:51
on. All.
48:53
I'm talking every single Japanese banger that I knew was
48:57
going to hit. I was like, I'm a fucking
48:59
genius. I can't wait to see how
49:01
everybody reacts to this. I'm playing it, nobody is
49:06
singing it. It is so quiet in a room full of
49:08
3000 people. You could drop a pin and hear it
49:11
on stage. It was just like.
49:14
That is so different. 3000 people, nobody's talking.
49:16
It's just like. But but then how do you know it?
49:20
Did they enjoy it? Do you know if they enjoyed?
49:22
It, well, once we started, they started like moving around and
49:24
having a good old time. But it's like jabbing.
49:26
People are so incredibly respectful that they're
49:28
respectful about the changeover music.
49:30
If you're on a subway, you shouldn't even talk on the
49:32
subway. Dude, the subway thing is.
49:33
Weird. It's silent.
49:34
Most places are They, like, want you to be quiet?
49:37
And then Americans come in and we're all just like, do.
49:40
They. Tell.
49:40
You like? You're not supposed to talk on
49:42
the subway. It's like a library, basically.
49:45
You're not even if you want to talk to someone, you got to
49:47
like, whisper. Yeah.
49:48
It's so weird. That's the kind of shit I don't.
49:51
Fuck with, by the way. Then you come to New York City
49:53
and you got people doing break dance moves over your fucking
49:56
head. Yeah, that that part of Japan I
49:58
don't really fuck with, but it's cool to see it.
50:01
What do you? Mean, I kind of like that, I
50:02
guess just a little bit of discipline.
50:04
I like the craziness on a subway.
50:05
I think that's more. I guess.
50:07
Well, they took the, you know, the flip side is they also hit
50:11
you with the stick to get you into the subway.
50:13
Yeah, I didn't experience that. But you were in Tokyo.
50:16
It's probably. Different they pushed the shit
50:17
out of me. I literally there was a dude
50:19
behind me I had a big puffy jacket on so I was alright.
50:21
I was really fluffy and shit and I'm like trying to get inside
50:25
the thing and I don't want to push anybody too much.
50:27
This dude in like a full blazer, suit tie, little briefcase
50:33
fucking thing comes up behind me and he just what's like this
50:38
with his hand and just pushes every and I am literally like I
50:42
am getting pushed. Like it is not like a you know,
50:44
when you're in a group of people and you're like, I feel like
50:46
this guys kind of pushed me a little bit.
50:47
It was like this guy really grounds like I am like whoa, I'm
50:52
getting pushed in and then. How is that fine, but you cannot
50:55
talk, Yeah. Like once he walked in, nobody
50:59
looked at him like he was doing something wrong.
51:00
Yeah, I couldn't move. Yeah, it is efficient.
51:03
Because you know why? Every single one of those people
51:06
got to go to a job that is going to help that economy move.
51:09
And guess what? That guy or girl is going to get
51:12
on that train. It's just so weird.
51:14
Dude Tokyo has like the highest population like suicide.
51:17
Fucking rate too. Like maybe, yeah, but like, just
51:20
the amount of people, like, have you ever been, remember, you've
51:22
been a what is it, Shibuya Crossing?
51:25
I yeah, I know what you're talking about.
51:26
I never do, but yeah. The worst place in the entire
51:30
fight. I don't fucking care what.
51:32
Anybody. That's the.
51:33
Road when you bring that up on a scene.
51:35
Jamie put it on the screen. Yeah, yeah.
51:39
Yeah, pull it up. Jamie.
51:40
Jamie. That is the worst place on in
51:42
the planet on January or frigid Friday.
51:46
Saturday. It's like 8 crosswalks.
51:49
But then in Tokyo Drift, they're just like they.
51:51
Drift right through it they. Drift right through it, yeah.
51:53
OK, so. That's not as packed as there it
51:55
is usually looks like though, is it not?
51:57
Well, it might not be a Saturday.
51:59
Yeah. Wait, go to buy one.
52:00
OK. Yeah, that one.
52:01
So yeah, click on something, go. Go up that.
52:04
OK, so pretty bad beats. That's not even bad.
52:07
That's not if you're walking between here, here and here,
52:13
just to go around that little turn right there.
52:16
Yeah, there is a line. You have to wait so that the
52:20
people that are here can cross the street, so that way you can
52:23
go around them to go over here. Oh fuck that, there's like so
52:27
many rules and shit. No, it's just like there are so
52:30
many people. Imagine the biggest music
52:32
festival you've ever been to all day long, every Friday and
52:37
Saturday, people just walking around.
52:39
Just you want to walk somewhere, you're doing like, doing like.
52:43
So compared to Times Square, because that's.
52:44
All we have Times Square on. New Year's.
52:49
New Year's shut. The fuck I would.
52:50
Describe it. I'm not even kidding.
52:52
I'm not even but. I'm navigating that Times Square
52:54
crowd like a fucking surgeon, dude.
52:57
I'm. Yeah, but New Year's is some
52:58
gnarly. Yeah, but you know, you're from
53:00
the area, kinda. You know, you're in Japan,
53:02
you're not. You don't know.
53:03
You don't know if you should like look people in the eye,
53:05
like is that mad, disrespectful or some people?
53:08
Cross like all the. Time and you got mad tattoos and
53:10
that's disrespectful apparently. But I will say I use it to my
53:12
advantage because people I'm, I'm, I'm not a big old, nice old
53:16
teddy bear. But when I'm walking through all
53:17
these people, I'm getting I'm really pissed because people are
53:20
just like, and I'm like move like I want you to move.
53:24
So I would just look like this and I would I told EV my
53:27
girlfriend at one point I was like, all right, we're going to
53:29
get through everybody, but I'm going to lead the way.
53:31
Take my hand and I'm just walking with the most resting
53:34
bitchiest face. Like I'm just.
53:36
Like I'm just about. To say hell yeah, they're all
53:37
like this, the white devil. Oh gosh.
53:39
Everybody, it's like I'm Moses, bro.
53:41
I start partying. The sea of people just move out
53:44
of the way and they're like, oh shit, this guy is like a scary
53:46
dude. And I'm like pretty.
53:47
Smart. Yeah, I'm better.
53:49
I'm pretty damn scary. You better be careful or
53:52
something. I don't know.
53:53
It's amazing. It worked out, though.
53:54
It worked out. Yeah, that's cool.
53:55
You got to go to Tokyo though. Japan, it was dope.
53:57
It was dope. I wish I got to drift.
53:59
I wish I got to be there. Well, let's all go again.
54:02
I'm glad that you experienced the other stuff because I'm
54:05
going there for like the other stuff.
54:06
Too. What do you want to go for?
54:08
Just food and just hanging out. I want to be A lot of my friends
54:11
have friends there now because they after going there a couple
54:14
times. Yeah, his friends are wild.
54:16
Now they just hang out and do stuff.
54:18
They just. Over there all the.
54:18
Time that they like that the people in Japan like to do, like
54:23
they take them to like a karaoke bar.
54:24
They go out and do this, go do that, like normal things that I
54:28
want to enjoy. The stuff that you see in anime
54:31
on the slice of life animes really this is the kind of life
54:34
that they live at. I'm going to sing Mr. Brightside
54:36
so fucking hard in a bar across the world.
54:39
Black the fuck out. Eating.
54:41
Fucking chicken be I don't give a shit.
54:43
I'm going to have a fun ass time and hopefully make some friends
54:47
and like actually I don't even really care if I don't make any
54:50
friends I. Don't totally make enemies make
54:52
enemies just start causing beef. All like fuck you.
54:55
My name is Frankie Bovino. I hate.
54:57
No, no, no. Yeah, you're gonna have a good
55:00
time. How many tracks are you guys
55:01
gonna go to? I don't know, but I know they're
55:03
gonna hit the hills. How many tracks are there?
55:06
A few. But what I'm going to go there
55:09
to enjoy is like some fucking Mountain St.
55:12
Drift. That's cool.
55:13
I'm going to be on the side of that road.
55:14
You're going to be shitting your pants.
55:16
I would much rather want to do that than go.
55:18
To I know you would do it. I'm surprised you didn't get to
55:20
do any of that stuff. I see this stuff on Instagram
55:23
and I'm just like, how are you just flooring it around this
55:26
turn? It's like pitch black outside.
55:29
Like what if you just die? You just.
55:31
Like that compared to. You're dead in Japan.
55:33
Fuck. They don't have wide lines.
55:35
They don't, they don't say take the outside line.
55:37
They're just like, just take the line that makes you survive when
55:40
you get to the bottom of the damn.
55:41
Mountain and it was it was sketchy back in the day when
55:43
you're watching the option videos, but like if you see shit
55:46
from today and they're doing that shit it's way crazier
55:50
because like shit just just like it's gotten crazier on track.
55:52
It's gotten way crazier in the mountains, so like I I would
55:55
love to see that shit and there's.
55:56
Like a certain etiquette about St. drifting there too.
55:59
Like it's like no faces, no plates, no nothing that can
56:04
discriminate the person there. How do people just drive without
56:08
plates on the street I. Don't know because it seems
56:11
pretty like strict over there. But then you run away.
56:14
But then they do shit like that. And then you run away and then
56:17
they're like, ah, well, we'll let him go.
56:20
But like, I could see you ended up in a in a Japanese prison.
56:23
Me. Yeah, great.
56:25
Which would be a good story to be honest.
56:26
With you I guess until I get butt fucked by somebody named
56:29
fucking like. Or you become the.
56:31
Boss some shit. Or you become the fucking boss
56:33
of the place, you know? Dude.
56:34
And then I got some crazy. Yeah, I don't know if you get
56:36
butt fucked, but you might be in there for a long time.
56:39
Listen, you butt, you get butt fucked or you got to do the butt
56:41
fucked. I'm doing yeah, or I'm doing it
56:44
but. If you come back after being in
56:47
prison for street drifting, you're gonna have the most St.
56:50
cred out of anyone I know. If you come back, you might
56:52
know. Yeah, that's what I'm saying if.
56:54
And you don't even have a job right now like you could be
56:56
there for. Like have a job?
56:58
Yeah, yeah. But it's your.
56:59
Shit bro he could be in there for like 2 months and survive
57:02
and be fine and then just come back and we'll be like yeah he
57:04
was in Japan prison. For now, my passport.
57:06
Would be hard is now I. Can't get into America?
57:09
Like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
57:11
Take it easy there. Buddy, now you're gonna live
57:13
here forever. That's how I should do it,
57:15
obviously. That's my residency.
57:17
That's my inn right there dude. Have you seen the houses over
57:19
there? We were talking about it before,
57:22
yeah. Yeah, 40 grand.
57:23
Do you wanna buy a what did we say?
57:25
A GTI. You could buy a GTI or a Golfar.
57:28
You could buy a damn. House, yeah, but.
57:30
Supposedly. Supposedly.
57:32
Getting your citizenship there is the hard part.
57:34
That's like the. You have to live there for 10
57:36
years, paying your taxes on time every time, every year for the
57:41
full 10 years. And you can't just live there
57:44
for more than three months, I think, or six months out of the
57:47
year. That's a certain amount of
57:49
months. So you have to literally get
57:50
like a working permit and work at a business for like 10 years
57:56
before you're legally allowed to live there.
57:58
That's longer than we, cause here it's five years.
58:00
I think in America it's 10 years.
58:02
I'm like, that is so fucking long.
58:05
And would they let someone buy a house if they're not a citizen?
58:07
I don't know that I don't know. I feel like there could is
58:10
something like that. Wasn't there a Jimmy Oaks video
58:12
on this? Yeah, he went to someone's
58:14
house. That guy just bought the house
58:15
or something. Yeah, I don't know, but.
58:17
I think you can. I just don't think you'd be able
58:19
to live there. So you'd have to find some way
58:22
to go there every so every couple months or for I don't
58:25
know. Yeah, this is something to think
58:27
about taxes. Money.
58:28
There is, I don't know, there's, I have an aunt there and it took
58:32
her. I don't think she even still is
58:35
a citizen of this day, but she has a business in Japan.
58:38
She does all this shit beefing with my mom that's why we don't
58:42
really hang out. So like.
58:44
Which sucks because she's literally lives in like Tokyo or
58:46
something, but apparently she was me to my mom so I'm not
58:48
fucking with her either. Damn, but that's inconvenient.
58:51
She did not get her citizenship either.
58:53
And she's there. She's had a kid there.
58:56
Like, she has a whole life there.
58:58
Still not a citizen there. Yeah.
59:00
I think she has to like constantly apply since her
59:03
business has to do with like Japan stuff like all of her
59:08
businesses within Japan. It's.
59:09
Probably like someone coming over here and getting stuck in
59:11
the system and they're just like, all right, well, one day
59:13
I'll be a citizen, but. Yeah, she's just live here.
59:16
Yeah, probably. Because she's been there for a
59:18
while, like a long time, yeah. Or maybe over 10 years.
59:22
But maybe it's harder for her to get her citizenship than to just
59:25
continue to do what she's doing, which is just like buying for
59:28
working visas or shit, something like that.
59:30
I don't know. Listen, I'm going to get a visa
59:32
for that place one day. That'd be safe.
59:34
You live here. Visa.
59:36
Yeah, that's what I want. What is that called?
59:39
A green card. Yeah, I think it is a green
59:41
card. But for Japan?
59:42
A Japanese green card. Oh, it probably fucking made out
59:46
of real nice. It's probably beast, dude.
59:48
It's probably fucking beast. Probably not.
59:51
Green either, but. Yeah, it's like made out of like
59:53
the coolest material and and it makes sense in every way.
59:58
Wait, did we talk about how you guys started drifting?
1:00:00
Yeah. What happened there?
1:00:01
How'd you how'd you pivot into that?
1:00:03
Like how the fuck? Random, but first of all, before
1:00:06
I get into this, do we got another one?
1:00:08
Yeah, you wanna. Check out Yeah, otherwise we're
1:00:11
on green tea form Which. No, I'll take a green.
1:00:14
These are kind of good. I'll take a green tea.
1:00:16
Green tea is good. Yeah, don't worry about.
1:00:18
Don't worry about it. He's got a see.
1:00:20
Grab that but. This is pretty good.
1:00:22
I'll take a green tea. Thanks to Ken Fuji for YEAH.
1:00:25
Shout out Ken, he went on a camping trip and.
1:00:27
Was like, let me bring. The rest, yeah, I heard of a
1:00:29
fucking, what do you call a cooler being rolled in here
1:00:32
earlier. I was like, what the fuck is
1:00:33
that? It's emptying all the all this
1:00:36
fucking, all these drinks. Oh my God.
1:00:38
He's got something. He's got more beer.
1:00:42
What is it? Brooklyn Brewery, baby.
1:00:45
It's like a non alcoholic one. Oh.
1:00:49
My God. The summer ale you want.
1:00:52
This I just opened this. One I know I just opened this.
1:00:56
You're gonna have to drink it. Yep.
1:00:57
Gonna have to drink it, so yeah. Drifting.
1:00:59
How the fuck did that happen? So I basically so how was saying
1:01:05
a long time whatever we first started this we there's a crazy
1:01:08
crossover between metal and just like drifting in general and one
1:01:12
of my Tony Strange. I knew I knew it.
1:01:14
Was. Gonna have to do with Tony.
1:01:16
He's fucking back. Baby.
1:01:19
Yeah, he's fucking back. So me growing up with this guy
1:01:23
my whole life, he's always been like, yo car, this car, that
1:01:26
cars are dope, blah blah, blah was like, yeah, it's super dope.
1:01:28
But in my mind I'm like, I'm so broke.
1:01:30
Like I know I'll never be able to afford this in any capacity.
1:01:34
I spend all my money on fucking weed.
1:01:35
I'm like, I'm never going to buy.
1:01:36
I'm never going to buy one of these cars.
1:01:37
If I break something, it's going to take me like a year to pay to
1:01:39
fix it. So I didn't really care too much
1:01:42
about it. I was like, yeah, it's cool,
1:01:43
blah blah blah. And then at some point I start,
1:01:46
I got to when I joined Lorna, we got got a golf RI started
1:01:50
bringing the R to get service done and get wrapped and this,
1:01:53
this and that and go beast mode at Artie's shop at Autoco Tour.
1:01:57
And so I left it there. They did a lot of stuff.
1:02:00
And one of the times that I left before I was even really good
1:02:02
friends with Artie, I think it was like the one of the first
1:02:04
times I went there literally to get the car wrapped.
1:02:07
He was like, dude, there's an event next weekend.
1:02:09
Do you want to come down? It's a car event.
1:02:11
And I was like, I'm home from Tour.
1:02:12
I have nothing about it, nothing better to do.
1:02:14
Like literally nothing's going on.
1:02:17
Let's go, let's see what's going on with this.
1:02:18
I know Tony always spoke about it.
1:02:20
Maybe I'll enjoy it when I get there.
1:02:21
And I got there, it was at Englishtown.
1:02:23
It was summer moves. OK, so it was a club loose event
1:02:27
it was. Hot it.
1:02:28
Was. Hot.
1:02:30
Yep, it was. Not.
1:02:32
Was that your like first car event in general?
1:02:35
Yes. That's fucking curious.
1:02:37
Yep. And so this is how deeply I got
1:02:38
sucked into it is how, you know, is that when I like things, I
1:02:41
really like them things. You go.
1:02:42
Ahead first. I fucking got there and my
1:02:45
friend already was like, oh, you know, maybe we could put you in
1:02:48
someone's car. I'm like, yeah, maybe I don't
1:02:50
know, this is kind of dope. I'm just watching the cars from
1:02:52
the stands. And then I like I got, I got to
1:02:54
a point it was like 3 o'clock. You know, everyone's getting a
1:02:56
little, the sun's hitting them there.
1:02:57
Everyone's getting a little ippy sleepy.
1:02:59
I've been there since like 9. So I was like, I don't fucking
1:03:01
care what the hell happens at this point, but I'm ready to go
1:03:03
home. Got a long drive coming up and
1:03:06
I'm about to leave, about to get into the car.
1:03:09
And then I get into my car and I think already comes up to me.
1:03:11
He's like, oh shit, we got you a guy.
1:03:12
And I was like, what the fuck are you talking about?
1:03:13
He's like, dude, I got somebody who you could sit in the car
1:03:16
with and he's like, do you want to do that?
1:03:18
And I'm like, all right, fuck it.
1:03:20
Like I'm already here, let's just do it.
1:03:21
I turn the car off I go. It's Abe's from the Pazzo Drift
1:03:24
team. Oh, the blue.
1:03:26
Cars. Yeah, the blue cars.
1:03:27
Abel's car. Fucking love that guy I'm going
1:03:29
to give him the crazy shout out. This one's for you.
1:03:31
We. Should try to get them on my.
1:03:32
Podcast. They're really, Yeah, they're
1:03:34
cool. Dope, they're very nice people
1:03:36
and they took me. It took me on my first ride
1:03:39
along. It was so dope that like, I
1:03:43
mean, and at the time I had so much like whatever money because
1:03:47
the order store started blowing up.
1:03:48
I never had money for anything. So I just had like a bunch of
1:03:51
money saved up for like whatever I was going to use it for and I
1:03:54
was like cool, well, I love this.
1:03:56
I'm about to buy this drift car now and I think, I think a week,
1:04:01
literally one event, one week later, I bought the drift car.
1:04:06
That's the one, the first one that I brought here, the black
1:04:08
one, and then you guys did a bunch of stuff to it.
1:04:11
Fucking rebuilt that whole car basically.
1:04:12
It got a new transmission. They got a million oil leaks,
1:04:15
which I found out later is like totally normal now that I have
1:04:18
those. Yeah, for VQ, I didn't realize
1:04:20
it just always leaking from somewhere.
1:04:21
So it's just like, you could fix this, but you give it a little
1:04:24
bit of time and it'll just come right back again.
1:04:26
Somewhere else too, which sucks. So just keep putting oil in it.
1:04:29
I didn't know that at the time. So I'm just like, I'm bringing
1:04:32
my car here for every. I'm like, holy shit, we got
1:04:34
liquid. We got a fluid on the fucking
1:04:36
ground. We gotta find out where it's
1:04:38
coming from. Help me out.
1:04:40
So you guys help me out with that.
1:04:41
I got really into it. I got to fucking B group in that
1:04:43
car. I actually got to A group in
1:04:46
that car. Yeah.
1:04:47
Oh, right, yeah. That thing is ready to.
1:04:50
Go was that 1K? It came.
1:04:51
Ready. It came ready to go.
1:04:53
It was fully caged. It had, it wasn't like fully
1:04:55
gutted, but it was. The cage definitely helped.
1:04:58
Yeah, it didn't have a Halo. I had to buy a Halo.
1:05:01
That's so crazy, like I I knew that was your first drift car,
1:05:04
but I didn't realize that that was your first car event.
1:05:07
Yes, like you literally you don't even know anything else.
1:05:11
You just know drifting. Yes, yeah, yeah, pretty much
1:05:13
other. Than the Volkswagen like that
1:05:15
was. I thought it was like I, I
1:05:16
started liking it when I started like souping up this car and
1:05:19
making it fun. So I was like, what other
1:05:21
avenues can I actually enjoy now?
1:05:23
And like drifting. I was like, I mean, I used to
1:05:24
skate so much when I was younger.
1:05:26
Yep, there it is. There's the crossover.
1:05:28
Yeah, that's the other crossover.
1:05:30
And This is why there's a metal skater crossover drifting thing,
1:05:33
because so many people that skate listen to metals.
1:05:35
Somebody been listening to metal looking.
1:05:37
I mean, when you skate, I think a lot of people, they get their
1:05:40
bodies all fucked up. For me anyway, that was my case.
1:05:42
Like, I got so many scars and, you know, little fractures here
1:05:47
and there over like so many years that like, I can't even
1:05:51
really skate as much as I could back in the day.
1:05:53
That was like the perfect, perfect escape.
1:05:55
Like adrenaline. You're like oh shit, this is
1:05:58
crazy. But this is like grown up
1:05:59
adrenaline now, because now you don't have to kick exactly.
1:06:02
You're sweating because you're sitting and it just happens to
1:06:05
be very hot. Yeah, and it's better for my
1:06:07
knees. My knees are really stoked.
1:06:09
That happens to a lot of people. Like I was listening to a
1:06:11
podcast with Brian Deacon, that fucking metal militia guy on it,
1:06:15
and he said the exact same thing.
1:06:16
He's like, yeah, we were doing all this supercross shit, all
1:06:18
that, and then he's like, and then I just got into the car
1:06:21
shit because I didn't don't have to hurt my body anymore.
1:06:23
And, you know, and they just everyone just transfers over to
1:06:25
a car because it's like, it's still fun.
1:06:28
You still get that same rush, kind of, but it's like way less.
1:06:32
Scary, yeah. I mean, you think about like how
1:06:34
often when you're like a like a really locked in on skating and
1:06:38
how often you hurt yourself, It'll be like because you're
1:06:41
always, if you're a really good skater, you're really trying to
1:06:43
get into it. You're always trying to push the
1:06:44
bounds to do something else. And that's usually when you end
1:06:47
up getting hurt. People hurt themselves all the
1:06:49
time. It's usually like a scrape here,
1:06:51
a scrape there, but that's like up in my hand.
1:06:53
That's like, not really like hurt, you know what I mean?
1:06:55
Like it's like a, like that's like a I'm gonna get up and I'll
1:06:58
probably try it again. That shit sucks.
1:07:00
It sucks. That shit sucks.
1:07:02
But I'm trying again. I'm trying to get after that
1:07:04
I'm. Happy that I don't have to do
1:07:06
now. The only thing that hurts is my
1:07:07
bank account when I have to get a bunch of tires and shit.
1:07:11
Happy for. All like.
1:07:14
Dude, you would get hurt, you would get hurt.
1:07:16
And like, you know, what sucks about if you got when you got
1:07:19
hurt is now you can't skate the next day.
1:07:22
Exactly like because it hurts so bad you hurt yourself.
1:07:25
Too bad. And now you gotta wait.
1:07:27
And then you gotta do it again. And there is potential to really
1:07:30
fuck your body up, but it's. You ever have a board like come
1:07:33
up and hit the face? That shit sucks.
1:07:35
That I'm also thinking about like it.
1:07:37
Would fucking hit you right in the right in the face, right in
1:07:39
the nose. And then you know you're going
1:07:41
to cry because it hit you in the nose.
1:07:43
Yeah, you're like, I'm not a bitch right now, but it just hit
1:07:45
me in the nose. Dude, I follow what thrasher on
1:07:48
fucking Instagram. That's the best fucking follow.
1:07:50
I fought. Like, those people are fucking
1:07:53
crazy when you see them fall. Yeah.
1:07:56
And then they just get up and they're like, all right, I'm
1:07:58
going to do it again. What are you talking about God?
1:08:02
It's so wild, but his. Dude's got.
1:08:04
No gloves, no elbow pads, no helmet.
1:08:07
He just slammed his head on the ground so fucking hard.
1:08:10
Into his fucking groin and like. And then they just roll like
1:08:14
some sort of maneuver and I'm like, if I fell from 4 feet in
1:08:18
the air, 4, I'm fucking yeah. It's it's I'm.
1:08:23
Thinking about hurting everything is just like, damn,
1:08:27
that did not take that. Impact.
1:08:28
I just thought of a great idea for a fucking product for a
1:08:31
video that I got to put out. Now, while we're talking, I got
1:08:33
to write this. Write it down.
1:08:34
Write it down. Write it down, Write it down.
1:08:35
Write it down. No, but dude, dude, that that
1:08:38
shit fucking hurts. Yeah, yeah.
1:08:41
Dude, it's terrible and honestly, not anymore.
1:08:44
I don't I don't want that. My manager believes he's like,
1:08:47
dude, why you doing all that? Never fucking drifting.
1:08:49
I don't know why I gave him a southern accident, but he's he's
1:08:51
definitely he's from from fucking PA or some shit.
1:08:55
I don't know why why you do it is you're gonna get all hurt
1:08:57
like. You're drifting, he.
1:08:58
Hates it bro. Oh God, he's like.
1:09:01
What the hell? Is this a risk?
1:09:03
You're gonna kill yourself. I'm like, dude, this is safer
1:09:06
than you would imagine. It's like snowboarding in the
1:09:08
sense where if you hit a big jump, as long as you go to the
1:09:11
end of the jump, if you miss and you fuck up, you fall going down
1:09:15
a hill. So it's not like you're just
1:09:16
landing flat. And the same way when you're in
1:09:19
a car and you're usually driving with another car, when you
1:09:21
crash, most of the time it's not like 30 miles an hour to zero.
1:09:25
You're both going like 3025. So it's like a five mile per
1:09:29
hour difference when you tap each other.
1:09:31
Really crash at E town, never get hurt.
1:09:33
No cars are good. There was I.
1:09:35
Remember there was 1 fucking time ever where I was like damn
1:09:39
if they didn't have a door bar it would have been really bad.
1:09:42
Rich's crash. I don't know if it might have
1:09:44
been rich well. Cause Rich flipped the fucking.
1:09:46
Car No, it wasn't a flip. It wasn't a.
1:09:48
What didn't wasn't that the rich white man it was called?
1:09:50
The rich white. Man, when you flipped the car at
1:09:52
E town. Didn't it hit the tire?
1:09:54
I if I'm not mistaken. Ah, damn the.
1:09:57
One I'm talking about is just like but he hit the.
1:10:00
Rich hit the entry. This is when his car was Gray
1:10:04
like a faction looking car I remember and it hit the tire
1:10:07
wall and didn't it like boom boom then like half of a kick
1:10:11
flip? I I think I remember a photo of
1:10:14
his car. Wasn't.
1:10:15
It turn 1 and it was fucked up but I don't remember it being
1:10:17
upside down. I thought it was.
1:10:18
Upside down. No, but people have.
1:10:21
Yeah, people have flipped. People have flipped, but not
1:10:23
often. And they put you in what?
1:10:24
Do you do when you flip? You go to fucking Wawa on
1:10:26
Backtrack or you hit the first turn and you flip over there,
1:10:30
you hit the tire wall with a back and then it catches and it
1:10:32
flips. But what do you?
1:10:34
What do they do? They bring the fuck.
1:10:35
The forklift, the. Kawazaki the What the fuck is it
1:10:38
called Kozaki? Kubota No.
1:10:40
No. Kawasaki.
1:10:42
Maybe I don't know. I don't know what machine.
1:10:44
It's that fucking lift thing. It's just yeah, but how does it
1:10:47
pick and roll the car up? Probably put a fucking strap
1:10:49
around it. Ain't pretty when they do it,
1:10:51
Yeah, it's like. Yeah.
1:10:52
To just do it but. That would break my heart to
1:10:54
hear the sound of your car just going, yeah.
1:10:57
Or the. Your roof is done this.
1:10:59
Drop where it's like and then you're like, damn, that was the
1:11:03
biggest pothole that car's ever hit.
1:11:05
It's. Just kind of sick though.
1:11:06
But I mean, aside from the fact that the cars are safe enough,
1:11:10
the the staff at Raceway is quick enough as well where
1:11:15
they're always there. Medic right there.
1:11:18
Danny's fucking standing up on his four Wheeler like this,
1:11:21
running right over. But like, I wouldn't want a
1:11:24
good. I wouldn't want to be drifting
1:11:25
on a track where I couldn't flip.
1:11:26
Over where you couldn't flip over again.
1:11:28
If I was to flip over. The adrenaline, that's the fear.
1:11:30
There's a little bit of fear in everything that makes it fun.
1:11:33
What? Would be sick is if you like
1:11:35
went over and then it like went back over and then you were like
1:11:39
oh shit. Clutching, I'm a beast.
1:11:40
That would be barrel roll that shit.
1:11:43
Or get right back. Into it that would.
1:11:46
Be so you get 100 for that. I don't care if you're not
1:11:49
giving this guy 100 when not the competition like you're dead.
1:11:54
Like what the hell is your problem?
1:11:55
That it was a pretty crazy statement.
1:11:57
If I was to flip anywhere, I guess I'd flip at Club Loose or
1:11:59
Raceway Park so that I know I am safe.
1:12:02
What do you how do you feel? What's your favorite part of
1:12:04
that track? I love first turn coming up
1:12:08
front track. That's I just love cooking it.
1:12:11
Yeah, fucking straight cooking it.
1:12:13
That's. Probably my favorite part too.
1:12:14
Of that entire I haven't done XTC yet, but I'm I am now in
1:12:19
that's fast the right yeah this is crazy.
1:12:22
Bro like I've never done it either and I'm just in B group
1:12:27
but that stretch of of Rd. Between turn 1 and the bank,
1:12:34
that shit just. Makes me shit my pants.
1:12:37
Yeah, I'm like. Makes me shit my pants while.
1:12:39
You're doing it, bro. Halfway through.
1:12:41
There's no way that you're looking at this bank with no run
1:12:44
off that you're like, yeah. I'm just like, I hope I slowed
1:12:48
down enough to get through this. That's what I'm thinking because
1:12:51
every time I do it on my SIM, it's literally I will overshoot
1:12:55
that turn. I can nail first turn no
1:12:58
problem. Like I, I know where I'm
1:13:00
supposed to, you know, engage And then as soon as you go to
1:13:03
like, all right, let's try the other, whatever the XDC version.
1:13:07
I'm like, I'm flying off. You're going onto that road.
1:13:10
Yeah, back to the pits, like every time.
1:13:13
Nuts. Cuz it's not.
1:13:14
It's actually not that far. It's not.
1:13:17
Yeah, there's like a little grass patch there, but if, and
1:13:20
that's why it's called XDC, extremely difficult course.
1:13:23
No way. Yeah.
1:13:25
I'm getting anxiety right now. Wait.
1:13:26
That's what it's called. XDC extremely it's.
1:13:30
Like XTXTCXDC? Yeah.
1:13:33
XDC because that used to be the name.
1:13:35
No, that used to be the name of the drift competitions that
1:13:38
would happen back. Extremely difficult competition.
1:13:41
I don't know the name what it stood for, but it was XDC.
1:13:44
Was I thought it was like extremely difficult course.
1:13:47
Well, that would make a good. That would make a lot of sense.
1:13:50
Yeah, I'm trying to I. Made a layout in the.
1:13:53
Middle there I'm trying to see. Drifting.
1:13:55
Though I'm trying to have Chris like let me run like an event
1:13:58
sometime with his layout. The K hole bro, I'm telling you
1:14:00
he's going to be so. He's got one called the K Hole.
1:14:02
It's so cool. What's the K hole?
1:14:04
It's if you turn around and look on that wall right there, that's
1:14:07
E town and the tippy top of the triangle is the bank.
1:14:10
It's just that little L like you would hit the bank and then make
1:14:14
a left into the infield and then you just keep that little bit.
1:14:18
Like a little just. The It's a hot lap track.
1:14:20
It's like XDC. But just the inside.
1:14:23
But no big entry. But no big entry.
1:14:25
Your big entry would be that turn right there, like after
1:14:28
where tree turn would be, instead of making the right,
1:14:30
it'd be the left. OK.
1:14:32
So then you do like a you do an XDC entry and like that the XDC
1:14:38
entry for after the bank looks so cool.
1:14:41
I just like the name. You're flying down and then they
1:14:44
you flick it right at the barrels at the end.
1:14:47
Yeah. Shit is sick, but that's.
1:14:49
That's what you do during XDC. Yeah, yeah.
1:14:51
And then the thing that fucks me up when I see XDC is like, I
1:14:54
don't know how people go from right here.
1:14:59
And they go, they go, This, they go.
1:15:02
That shit's sick. And then they got to go.
1:15:04
Oh, that. Makes no.
1:15:05
Sense. I don't.
1:15:06
Know how you're having a horsepower to keep the?
1:15:09
Floor on this side, dude. Here and here, dude, I.
1:15:11
Don't know. I don't know.
1:15:13
I shut it down like right where that little.
1:15:14
Bobby and Frito have a video together doing that and I was
1:15:19
watching it like, yeah, you're fucking nuts.
1:15:21
Because because after that, after that whole, like they're
1:15:26
going into forgotten, they're going into forgotten.
1:15:30
Which? Is is that part of XDC?
1:15:32
Yeah, it can be. It's a full course.
1:15:34
Which which is it's not on there but like.
1:15:37
It's even I'm saying missing something.
1:15:39
Further, so it's just past the normal turn.
1:15:41
Yes, yes. And now if you go off, I've
1:15:44
forgotten you're dead. Then you go into the into the
1:15:48
the field. There's like a soccer field,
1:15:50
soccer field over there. Like you're going off, just
1:15:54
can't imagine you're going that. That's got to be the fastest you
1:15:59
are drifting on that track. When you're when you're cranking
1:16:01
down that turn, going into forgotten turn, that has to be
1:16:04
the fastest you're going in drift.
1:16:06
Yeah, I don't, I don't fucking understand, 'cause then do you
1:16:10
know Bobby, it's another Gray car funny guy, kind of the
1:16:13
kingpin of of. I feel like he's like a kingpin
1:16:15
of some sort of something the farm kids.
1:16:17
Yeah, I mean, Bobby, like, lives basically right there.
1:16:20
So you big Madam? Yeah.
1:16:22
But I feel like he drives that course.
1:16:25
He's doing 100 miles an hour, right, doing drifts.
1:16:28
And then we go to like Pocono. It's like a normal little track.
1:16:32
And guy's like, I don't know if I'll be able to do this.
1:16:34
I'm like bro. Well, all he's done is E Town
1:16:37
his whole life. No, but you don't think that
1:16:39
that translates? Have you drifted They're.
1:16:41
Nervous because they never went anywhere.
1:16:42
Else I guess, but have you had the opportunity to go to other
1:16:46
tracks aside from E Town? Only on my SIM, not in real life
1:16:50
but. They went to Alabama, right?
1:16:53
No, I was supposed to no. You were supposed to go with the
1:16:57
for the for Chris's birthday. Yeah, it was for some kind of
1:17:00
event. I couldn't my my brother-in-law
1:17:02
passed away that day. Fuck, I'm sorry.
1:17:04
So we ended up not going, but I was like next year I would love
1:17:08
to be there. Bro that track so fun.
1:17:10
I believe it. It's so fun.
1:17:12
I we ended up doing it on the same we my me and my me and
1:17:15
totally strange. No, fuck, I want to know.
1:17:19
Got to be a counter on this. How many times is his name said
1:17:22
on this? I think we.
1:17:22
Got to have. Tony on Tony and I SIM every
1:17:26
single if it's not every day, it's like every other day, you
1:17:29
know what I mean? Wait, does.
1:17:30
He drift yet? He got a car that is still not
1:17:34
drive. I mean classic car dudes.
1:17:37
You know, like I mean building. I mean super build, but it will
1:17:40
take me 8 years to build the Super build when I could have
1:17:44
just bought like a $5000 piece piece of absolute garbage, but
1:17:47
it would have driven like 8 years sooner, you know?
1:17:49
So he's there. He's like on his like third or
1:17:52
fourth year of having this car. It's still not done.
1:17:54
What kind of car is it? It's a 240.
1:17:56
Oh, come. On Oh yeah.
1:17:57
Come on, Tony. It's got a Jay.
1:17:59

He wanted to do it by. There it's called XC CS extreme
1:18:05
drift circuit, so but yeah, that was a.
1:18:08

1:20:36
He's on a hero arc. His trans blew up there five
1:20:40
years ago. They had another transmission
1:20:42
for some reason. It's like 8 years ago.
1:20:45
It's like 17, 2017 I think. That's even worse.
1:20:49
So eight years ago, the transmission blew.
1:20:52
But instead of fixing the transmission.
1:20:53
Oh, you're talking about my car braking or you're talking about
1:20:55
Super D? Super D OK, yeah.
1:20:57
And it broke there. And then Frankie had a couple
1:20:59

1:24:48
Let's be honest. Sounds like absolute dookie, but
1:24:51
it looks fucking dope. Yeah, I said what I said dude, I
1:24:54
said it. And on my SIM, when I'm on the
1:24:55
SIM, I only ride the pink BDC 86.
1:25:00
Hey, shout out Murky dude, Murky was the one who this guy Murky
1:25:03

1:25:06
Wow, shout outs good dude. Tell them to stop putting out
1:25:09

1:25:10
It's good, it's good enough. We don't need more versions of
1:25:12
the fucking cars dude. I'm not downloading more
1:25:15
versions. Keep the damn versions.
1:25:17
Worst shit. It's like you got to download.
1:25:20
You got to download this, this, this, this, this, this and this
1:25:23
to join this lobby. I don't want to do that, fuck.
1:25:25
What is your favorite metal core band?
1:25:30
So that's not like what you do, right?
1:25:31
That's not metal core. No metal core is like singing
1:25:33
and stuff. That's my shit right there.
1:25:35
I like that stuff too. Yeah, there's a lot that I
1:25:37
listen to. I'm just trying to think of
1:25:38
which one was. I just listen.
1:25:40
I hate when people ask me these questions.
1:25:42
Because you can't think of it. Never listen so I.
1:25:44
Never think about it, but you know what?
1:25:46
That's why you pull out your Spotify.
1:25:49
Spotify. Let's see.
1:25:52
OK, so we got, I was listening to Shadow of Intent today.
1:25:56
Yeah, but oh, Currents is beast Currents, Currents is so you
1:26:01
heard of? Them.
1:26:02
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't listen.
1:26:03
Frankie's pretty cultured with this stuff.
1:26:05
I don't know. Metal core I fuck with.
1:26:07
I don't I can't. Lorna sure Shit, I'm like yo,
1:26:10
that is another. This shit sucks.
1:26:12
This. Shit is crazy.
1:26:14
Fuck then Polaris is really good.
1:26:16
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone listen to a lot of oh,
1:26:18
the plot new. That was what it was the plot
1:26:20
new. Very good.
1:26:21
That's probably my top one, right?
1:26:22
Now, So what is Lorna considered?
1:26:26
I mean, I would tell you it's considered just like an extreme
1:26:29
heavy metal band. People will go in and be like,
1:26:32
oh, it's a heavy metal symphonic death.
1:26:35
I know, yeah. Death metal, it's probably.
1:26:37
Deathcore. Blah blah, you would.
1:26:39
It would be more along the lines of deathcore, but the new album
1:26:42
that we're about to put out September 12th, I feel they ever
1:26:45
play. Frustrating with me is you.
1:26:47
Doing some singing on this. Or there's no singing, but
1:26:49
there's like pitch screaming and like other cool stuff that it's
1:26:52
like fun. So we're trying to, there's a
1:26:54
lot of, it's a lot different. We have some songs that are
1:26:57
like, OK, this is classic Lorna. Then we have other songs that
1:26:59
are like, it's kind of something new, Let's see how people think
1:27:03
about it. They're all good songs.
1:27:05
There's. Definitely a lot of your songs
1:27:06
that I fuck with for sure, but then the other ones I'm like
1:27:08
whoa dude, another realm. My mom's CRV speakers have never
1:27:12
felt like. Never seen that shit before.
1:27:15
Bro pain too. Or wait no it was the one that I
1:27:18
listened to. I don't know, I was looking.
1:27:20
Pain rains one. The one where it's one and two
1:27:24
that played an order and my car was going shot.
1:27:28
I was like, dude, but I try to just enjoy the music for music.
1:27:35
And then all I could think about was what Will's voice was going
1:27:38
to sound like when I met him. I was like, whatever I spoke.
1:27:42
To you like, hey, what's going on?
1:27:46
No man, but like. Damn you sound crazy different
1:27:48
on the album. Holy.
1:27:49
Shit, I want to. I don't know.
1:27:52
I didn't know that that was different than.
1:27:55
There's a lot of different I. Didn't know there was different
1:27:57
sub that many different subsets. Oh dude, there's like a million
1:28:01
of them. Metal has got like singing.
1:28:03
It's got a thrash. Metal just sounds like old
1:28:06
metal. Basically.
1:28:08
Singing is like if it has singing in it, it's usually
1:28:10
metal core. If it has only breakdowns and no
1:28:13
singing, it's usually death core.
1:28:15
But if it's, that's only if it's all like.
1:28:18
You ever has no. That it's usually like not
1:28:21
deathcore, it's usually hardcore or like there's so many
1:28:25
different kinds. There's like deathcore brought
1:28:28
to the most extreme version that's grindcore.
1:28:30
Yeah, Grindcore. That's just.
1:28:32
Great. There's a never ending list of
1:28:34
it and it's just like Lord and Sword at this point.
1:28:35
We have done so many different things on this new album and the
1:28:38
previous stuff that we're just like, we're just a heavy metal
1:28:40
band, you know, like. So you you can like be a range
1:28:43
of all, you can like range through all of those things.
1:28:46
I would say, I would say so, yeah.
1:28:47
We have songs that are like super heavy metal.
1:28:50
We have songs that are super death core.
1:28:53
You know, it's all heavy metal is like the broad term that just
1:28:56
encompasses all of that. So we're just that, yeah, what
1:29:00
the fuck is up? What would you tell child Will
1:29:03
Ramos if you could see younger you face to face take?
1:29:07
Chorus Sooner. True.
1:29:10
Was that a turning point for you?
1:29:11
It was chorus. No, I never took.
1:29:12
I always wanted to take it and they never let me take it.
1:29:15
And that was just like, all right, why rather, maybe it
1:29:17
wasn't. No, I'm sorry, it wasn't.
1:29:18
They wouldn't let me take it. It was that I was too scared to
1:29:21
because in my mind I thought I was mad feminine and I was so
1:29:25
heavily, you know, when everybody would say anything,
1:29:29
it'd be like, Oh my God, that's the most important thing I've
1:29:30
ever heard anybody say about me. I got to change how I'm doing
1:29:33
things from now on. Impressionable.
1:29:34
That's the word, a very impressionable child.
1:29:36
So it's like, I don't want to do anything that makes me feel,
1:29:39
see, mad, weird people are going to start making fun of me and
1:29:42
shit. So I never did it.
1:29:43
But then I got older and even growing up, I always wanted to
1:29:46
do it. It was just like I was holding
1:29:48
myself back from doing it. And then obviously you get out
1:29:51
of it and now everything's doing great, you know?
1:29:53
But I probably would have started singing a lot sooner.
1:29:56
And there's ways to like, scream, to not fuck your voice
1:30:00
up too, right? And I think singing and
1:30:02
screaming, they both, they're literally like two sides of the
1:30:04
same coin. Like, they're very
1:30:06
interchangeable, being able to do.
1:30:08
Some people say that you can't do if you can do 1, you can't do
1:30:10
the other, you can. It's just like the more I learn
1:30:12
about singing, the more I'm getting better.
1:30:14
Also at my screaming stuff, 'cause I'm already very
1:30:16
confident in my screaming. So I was like, if I could go
1:30:18
back in time and tell myself to get more confident sooner, yeah,
1:30:23
it would only be a superpower. And get a drift car.
1:30:27
That being said, I feel like maybe the drift car in the
1:30:29
beginning might have hurt. You it definitely would have
1:30:31
hurt everything, yeah. But maybe I would have smoked
1:30:34
the last week because I would have been mad broke.
1:30:37
What do you love most about the usual disease?
1:30:41
OK so the real reason I got AZ is because my dad had one when I
1:30:43
was a little kid. It looked really sick or he
1:30:45
wanted to get one and he didn't get it because it was a little
1:30:47
bit out of his price range. So we ended up getting a
1:30:49
crossfire. Terrible.
1:30:51
The price. The price?
1:30:52
Across. Wait a minute.
1:30:53
They drifted those, though. Did they?
1:30:55
Yes. No, there's just one guy who did
1:30:57
it, and it was was. It Ryan Turk No, he drove the.
1:31:00
Rear wheel drive it was. It was an FD car.
1:31:05
It was in FD dude I swear to God.
1:31:06
No, it wasn't. There was a There was a
1:31:09
crossfire, though it was being drifted by.
1:31:11
Maybe I'm thinking about, oh wait, the Saturn is the
1:31:14
crossfire it's just the other car or no?
1:31:16
The Saturn Sky and the Pontiac Solstice were the same car, OK,
1:31:22
And those cars were in FD, OK. And I think the OR the sky or
1:31:26
the Solstice is the one that you're thinking of.
1:31:28
So the so the crossfire you don't think was.
1:31:31
No, no, but the rear wheel drive and I have seen one drift.
1:31:34
Yeah, I'm saying like people could have totally done it just
1:31:36
so I remember seeing it. And then I I asked my friends if
1:31:39
I was like, why don't people drift this?
1:31:40
It's old enough at this point. It's not.
1:31:41
I think the motor was poop. It was either that or it was
1:31:44
like they didn't make enough parts like angle Cat two shit,
1:31:48
you'd have to custom fabs, some crazy stuff.
1:31:50
I'm like, I get that, but it had potential.
1:31:52
It could have been nowadays. It could have been the 350 dude.
1:31:55
Nowadays I feel like just the accessibility to things that
1:31:59
that dude, a welder, like the welders that people could have
1:32:02
at the fucking house now or like the the machinery and things
1:32:06
that they could do to to to manufacture items out of their
1:32:11
fucking house. I mean.
1:32:12
I can't have that stuff. Like that that why not?
1:32:15
Dude, you would be you would you would love.
1:32:17
It I would start doing something, I'd be making things
1:32:20
that like. You should have been.
1:32:22
You haven't seen Will in like 3 weeks.
1:32:25
Where's Will been? Oh he's just let's come into his
1:32:27
house. You see as you start walking
1:32:29
through my house just like Will. What the fuck have you been?
1:32:31
Doing Dude, you would love a 3D printer.
1:32:33
No, I know I would. Because if you another reason
1:32:36
why I can't have that architecture in high school you
1:32:38
played with cat and shit. It literally does all that stuff
1:32:41
I used to miss or recently, I don't know why but I wanted to
1:32:44
play in cat and like do like all the functions like extrude array
1:32:49
fucking or when you subtract something and it just like cuts
1:32:52
a hole out of something. Shit's fun as fuck.
1:32:54
Tacos or burritos? I want to say burritos.
1:33:01
Same, Yeah. More, more.
1:33:02
It's got more of everything in it, but I do love a good Taco.
1:33:05
If it's a lot of tacos and you can't stop me, I'm eating the.
1:33:10
Tacos, Yeah, that's fine. But usually when you eat a
1:33:12
burrito, you're like, fuck, when you eat a Taco, you're like, I
1:33:16
can, I'm good for right now. This is good.
1:33:18
Or unless you ate a shit load and you're like, all right, it's
1:33:20
good. You know you.
1:33:20
Want to hear the craziest burrito transport?
1:33:22
Like there's a a buddy of ours, James, shout out.
1:33:26
James works in a dealership. He does not want to use the
1:33:29
dealership microwave because it's disgusting.
1:33:32
Yeah, I don't know if you can relate to that, Frankie, but
1:33:35
maybe not here. But he puts, he makes a burrito
1:33:38
in the morning before he goes to work, puts it in a thermos.
1:33:42
Like he rolls it up and puts it in the thermos like.
1:33:47
This guy, this guy gets. To work he's A and he told me
1:33:51
that the burrito is hot as fuck by lunch, doesn't have to
1:33:54
microwave. It Malcolm looking any and.
1:33:56
Now, now, now, look at that. Look at that.
1:33:59
There be a burrito in there and then you don't have to crush it
1:34:02
in the car. It doesn't get so.
1:34:04
Yeah, or like a hot dog, you can make a full whole glizzy.
1:34:06
You could put like 15 glizzies in your fucking thermos.
1:34:09
You never thought about that? I.
1:34:11
Feel like I've seen that before. That's a great idea.
1:34:13
That'd. Be a good golf course thing.
1:34:15
Good racetrack. Imagine you're at the racetrack.
1:34:17
Something that just pulls hot. Dogs out of his like.
1:34:19
Yo, I'm kind of hungry, yo. You want a hot dog?
1:34:22
Actually, I would love a fucking hot dog right now, yo.
1:34:25
Will, I got a guy in here, he says he he's gonna, he wants to
1:34:27
take you St. drifting in Oklahoma City in October when
1:34:30
you're there. I don't.
1:34:31
I don't know about I honestly as much as I know as as long as as
1:34:34
much as I like drifting, I don't feel like straight drifting is
1:34:37
the the move. Probably not the safest thing
1:34:40
I'm. Just like I, I feel for me, I
1:34:43
don't care. Like if I'm going to do some
1:34:45
shit, hell yeah, it's going to be fun.
1:34:46
But I, I know if I do it at the track, I'm not endangering
1:34:49
people that don't want to have anything to do with it.
1:34:51
Like you're there, you're on the track.
1:34:52
Like, you know, I'm if I crash in you, you're like, ah fuck.
1:34:56
Your manager is nodding somewhere, right?
1:34:57
Now he's like, hell yes, Sir. Yeah.
1:35:10
I'm joking, Steve. I'm joking.
1:35:13
I won't do that. Here you go.
1:35:15
I won't do that. Have you ever had a car ticket?
1:35:18
Speeding ticket. Anything.
1:35:19
Oh hell. Actually, there was one point I
1:35:20
had 11 points on my license. God damn.
1:35:23
Bro, they let you get that. Shit back.
1:35:25
Yeah, you know the most amount of points you can have. 12/12.
1:35:28
Yeah, bro, I fucking did it. I've only had, I've only had
1:35:33
four. Take that dude at 4:00.
1:35:35
They were threatening to. Yeah, they say.
1:35:38
Yeah, they say. Hey, we.
1:35:39
You're in lieu of suspension or something like that?
1:35:44
Yeah, I was there. I had paid surcharges for so
1:35:47
many years, dude, it was just like, I think so I when I was
1:35:51
younger, I got this car, it was a GTI, it was a track ready time
1:35:57
attack car. I got it from my tattoo artist
1:36:00
at the time and, and I was like, I just want to drive this thing
1:36:04
fast all the time. It's sick.
1:36:05
Like it's a little pocket rocket.
1:36:07
Like it's fucking awesome. And I but the problem was I was
1:36:09
mad young. And so I'm like, oh, I'm trying
1:36:11
to go back and forth to work. So I could smoke weed obviously
1:36:15
during lunch break, but work is like 12 minutes away from my
1:36:18
house. I get a 30 minute lunch break.
1:36:21
So I'm trying to cut that 12 minutes into like 10 minutes.
1:36:24
Yes, but that requirements. To smoke weed.
1:36:27
Exactly 10 minutes of drive Exactly.
1:36:29
But to the wild, to cut those minutes, you have to drive on
1:36:33
roads that are like, you got to go 25 or 35 mph Max.
1:36:36
So obviously I'm going like 4045 and you're on a local Rd. so
1:36:41
they catch you immediately. Yeah, so I got 11 points.
1:36:45
Yeah. They called me like 3.
1:36:47
Times you got to get a low. Key car to do that.
1:36:49
One time I was I had a Celica. It was so quiet and I would just
1:36:52
fucking destroy the GPS when I would have to go places.
1:36:56
I got so many good questions in here.
1:36:57
I'm sorry I. I just got to keep them going,
1:37:00
keep them going. I love, I love going on
1:37:01
tangents. And a lot of these are from your
1:37:03
fans. And I want to I want to ask some
1:37:04
of them because I want to know the answers too, OK?
1:37:06
Let's find out, fans. If you could collaborate with
1:37:09
any metal or non metal artist, who would it be and why?
1:37:11
I guess just. One of them metal or non metal
1:37:14
artist. Honestly I would just say in
1:37:16
flames. They're so fabulous.
1:37:18
Love in flames. Big man love big.
1:37:20
Love them growing up. Yeah.
1:37:21
Still listen to them when I drift.
1:37:24
What is your favorite vocal technique to perform live?
1:37:27
Highs are always fun. Yeah, there's like, dude,
1:37:29
there's like different types of screams and.
1:37:31
Everything there's like, there's all the little things in there.
1:37:35
That shit is crazy. The.
1:37:36
Lows. That's those are the ones I.
1:37:38
Feel like my throat would just hurt but I also smoke.
1:37:40
Cigarettes and weeds. So it's like fucked.
1:37:42
Just more fun to do. OK, easier to do.
1:37:44
I sound like a little goblin dude.
1:37:46
Yeah. There is a goblin scream or some
1:37:48
shit, right? That's all.
1:37:50
Yeah, people will say that they'll be like, it sounds like
1:37:51
a goblin. I'm like, well, that would make
1:37:53
sense. That's probably, that's probably
1:37:55
what people are going for. Yeah, a little creepy.
1:37:58
If you can resurrect 1 musician from the dead, who would it be?
1:38:01
Chester from Lincoln Park for sure.
1:38:04
Damn. All day or Mac Miller dude damn.
1:38:07
See I love Mac Miller so much. That being said, he his career
1:38:13
wasn't long enough for him to have that moment where bands
1:38:16
start falling off and you're just like, yeah, yeah, oh, that
1:38:19
shit was really good. So.
1:38:20
But then they started putting out that album and it got a
1:38:22
little fucking weird, yeah. He died in his prime.
1:38:24
He died in the prime. So like, in the back of my mind,
1:38:27
I'm like, I just want to hear more.
1:38:28
What else? He had that.
1:38:29
Yeah. What did he have, you know?
1:38:31
And of course, the grass is greener on the other side.
1:38:32
He might have. He may say, hypothetically, he
1:38:34
was here, and then he put out the next album.
1:38:36
That one fucking flopped and then I'm like, all right, well
1:38:38
fuck this guy. You know what?
1:38:40
I mean, now I guess we could kind of enjoy his memory for
1:38:42
what it is, which is great. Exactly the same thing with
1:38:44
Chester from Linkin Park, yeah. Chester was the vocalist.
1:38:48
Vocalist yeah he's now there's a lady vocalist in there instead.
1:38:51
I saw them actually in Europe how was that They were very good
1:38:54
yeah Chester has a very high pitched dude voice and she is
1:38:57
like a lower ladies voice so yeah it.
1:39:00
There were certain songs it meets in a weird place that
1:39:04
you're like, she could totally nail all these old songs I.
1:39:07
Remember I heard a song and I like.
1:39:08
I definitely don't hate this, but I would like to hear her
1:39:11
sing the old ones. I don't know if I would enjoy
1:39:12
that. But it was still good, Yeah.
1:39:14
The old songs were so good to hear her do it.
1:39:17
And then she has some new songs on the album that I'm just like,
1:39:19
these are really good. I like those as well.
1:39:21
Here's a good one. Have you ever thought about a
1:39:23
replacement job if your band didn't work out?
1:39:26
Hell yeah, I'll work back at Starbucks.
1:39:29
Yeah, that would be it. I mean, I feel like I would try
1:39:31
and use the money that I've made from the band to do other shit
1:39:34
and then I would work at Starbucks so I could just be a
1:39:37
fucking piece of crap all day. Just like drink a shit load of
1:39:41
espresso. I talk about it, get a.
1:39:43
Coffee machine if you want to get will there dude.
1:39:46
Literally that's that's pretty much where we're at.
1:39:49
That's if you haven't put it together at this point.
1:39:51
Like. I used to work at Starbucks, it
1:39:54
was a great job. That's.
1:39:55
Actually kind of hard to. I have a friend.
1:39:57
That still works at. Starbucks isn't that hard.
1:39:59
No, it was easy to get it. It's hard to keep it because you
1:40:01
don't want to wake up at 4:00 in the morning to go start your day
1:40:04
so that other people can start their day.
1:40:05
It's difficult and there's different, like the badges and
1:40:09
shit that you can get or whatever.
1:40:12
I liked it, but I will say a part of me now just wants to get
1:40:16
a job at somewhere terrible like like Walmart or something and
1:40:23
then just fuck the whole job up and just see how far I can keep
1:40:27
pushing it until I get fired. But you.
1:40:29
Could film it, that would be great.
1:40:30
Type of shit. And then after I get fired, get
1:40:33
a new job at like Starbucks or McDonald's.
1:40:38
McDonald's. Like let's say I go to
1:40:40
McDonald's and I'm like, oh, I, I'm the guy on the fucking fry.
1:40:45
How can I help you? Oh, you're like, oh, shit, yeah.
1:40:48
Oh, I'll take a double hamburger or some shit.
1:40:50
Fucking whopper. And I'm like, oh, we only got
1:40:52
like French fries over here. Like oh or you give them, you
1:40:55
read the order back to them, but you keep reading it differently
1:40:58
every single time. They're just like, how much shit
1:41:01
can you get away with? Before they fire you because.
1:41:04
Then when they fire you, you just go work somewhere else.
1:41:06
Like I don't need the job. I think it would just be fun to
1:41:09
have the job. I'm like, this is fake.
1:41:11
I could just fuck with people all the time, people that I
1:41:14
don't even know. Malcolm you know we can do this
1:41:16
too. Let's film it.
1:41:18
We'll just get you a new job every week.
1:41:20
All right. That's quit.
1:41:23
OK. Quit.
1:41:24
You, we, you we need. Malfi, I've thought about doing
1:41:29
that too, though I've thought about just getting.
1:41:30
Hiring Malcolm. No, just get well, yeah, but
1:41:32
just getting another job like like part.
1:41:35
Time for fuck, you know fuck's. Sake, You know what would you
1:41:38
get right now? You're Starbucks.
1:41:39
We all know what what would. Where Walmart?
1:41:42
Walmart. Walmart and you would be
1:41:43
superstore. Like that would start throwing.
1:41:47
Did you ever see those videos when you were growing up?
1:41:49
I used to see them all the time on YouTube where it was like
1:41:51
little kids in like Walmart and they would walk through the
1:41:54
aisles and they would see like a massive like tower of like
1:41:58
toilet paper and they would like bounce them off, trip into it.
1:42:03
Everything fucking got the whole thing down.
1:42:06
I think we definitely did that when we.
1:42:07
Were no there? What about the?
1:42:08
Ones. Where you jump.
1:42:09
In you jump in the ball pit. Like that that.
1:42:11
That they they I don't. Think they have any more of
1:42:13
those? Probably because of people like
1:42:15
you guys. Just put pillows in them.
1:42:17
Which is. Kind of sick, it might be
1:42:19
better. I think it would be better.
1:42:20
It would be way better. They got a squish mellow ones
1:42:22
now too. That that'd be a I'll I'll hop
1:42:24
in that. That's fine.
1:42:25
I would. Also.
1:42:26
Do that. What?
1:42:27
Was the first metal song that truly changed your life.
1:42:31
That's hard as fuck. Wow.
1:42:35
There's got to be something, though.
1:42:36
Oh. It's going to be answer Sandman.
1:42:38
Oh, really? Oh, no, no, it's crazy train.
1:42:40
It's crazy, Train. We just listened to that.
1:42:43
I was rest in peace. Yeah.
1:42:45
That was another question that was on here too.
1:42:47
How do you feel about Ozzie passing and everything?
1:42:50
But sad. I feel real sad too and I don't
1:42:52
know why because I'm not even. Listened to a lot, yeah, to be
1:42:54
honest. But I think the fact is you
1:42:57
respect the dude. He's been around for so long.
1:43:00
He's he's doing a lot of he did a lot of good things.
1:43:03
He did a lot of crazy things. He was a crazy dude.
1:43:04
He was like, he was definitely the end of a chapter of the
1:43:07
metal world. I'm sure there's new chapters
1:43:10
now, but the fact that he's gone, you know what I mean?
1:43:12
It's like he was a. Revolutionary.
1:43:15
Dude, Yeah, yeah. That's what I was like.
1:43:18
Revolution. Never saw it before that.
1:43:21
And he was such a sweetheart of a guy.
1:43:22
So like, as far as crazy as he was, you know?
1:43:25
I only got into metal shit. You're 76.
1:43:28
He made it. I got a good chance.
1:43:30
Dude, he just had his fucking farewell tour.
1:43:33
Like what? Just one show?
1:43:35
Not even a tour? Two weeks donated the entire
1:43:37
thing to like, some charity. Park is Parkinson's.
1:43:40
Research so good. Yeah, that's incredible.
1:43:44
Yeah. That sucks.
1:43:44
We need more people doing that. Definitely.
1:43:48
OK, I know you got to get out of here.
1:43:50
I. Would also say Crazy Train only
1:43:52
because when I was in 8th grade, somebody came by with the guitar
1:43:54
and started playing Crazy Train. Doo Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo Doo.
1:43:57
I was like, yo, this is the sickest thing ever.
1:43:59
I think I like guitar. I think I'm gonna play guitar.
1:44:01
And that was that was the beginning.
1:44:03
And then you meet Tony Strange and Q, Tony Strangehark and
1:44:07
blah, blah, blah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:44:08
Here we are. Lord of Short and now Faction
1:44:11
Motor Sports. At 11 right now.
1:44:14
It evolves. Yeah.
1:44:15
Maybe 12. Best gig or festival?
1:44:17
Let's just say best festival you've attended as a fan or as a
1:44:20
performer. I loved going to Warp Tour
1:44:22
growing up. I don't care why that was that
1:44:24
was. I knew Frankie was going to go
1:44:26
you. Survive.
1:44:28
Did you go do Raceway Park 2007? No, it wasn't.
1:44:33
I was, I got, I was to my first show when I was like 16, so it
1:44:36
was probably 2010. OK, yeah, I was.
1:44:38
A late bloomer. My my family was not metal.
1:44:42
Yeah, they were opposite of that.
1:44:44
They were like, oh, you want to go hang out with your metal
1:44:46
friends? OK.
1:44:47
Wait, how old were you? 16, yeah.
1:44:49
That's probably when I started going to, yeah.
1:44:51
I would say I missed. That or school rock.
1:44:53
Fucking Hackensack. I was there once.
1:44:55
Yeah, we talked about that. Yeah.
1:44:57
Yeah, dude, that was my. Favorite fucking venue?
1:44:59
I bought a paintball mask from somebody over there.
1:45:01
What? The fuck?
1:45:02
What the fuck? That's.
1:45:03
Also there has to be a crazy crossover between paintball
1:45:09
heavy metal. 1000. Percent.
1:45:11
Yeah, there it is. Anything with adrenaline, yeah,
1:45:14
that's got to be it. Yeah.
1:45:16
Like bro bungee jumping, you want to do that?
1:45:18
Hell, I'm. Down I'm no.
1:45:20
No way, Cut the Rope as soon as I get to the bottom and I don't
1:45:23
even know I'm as crazy. As this sounds, I feel like I'd
1:45:25
rather jump out of a plane. That's I still know it's.
1:45:28
Scarier I think with for the bungee jumping because there's
1:45:31
no like I. Just feel like the bungee's not
1:45:34
going to work and I'm just going.
1:45:35
To yeah, that's what I think. That's what I'm saying.
1:45:36
When I jump from there, might work.
1:45:38
When I jump from there, cut it and then I'm just hitting the
1:45:41
ground. Straight up right when it.
1:45:43
Splat. Oh yeah, I'm about to bounce
1:45:45
back up. Psych Bow that.
1:45:46
Guy was so fucking gnar. We got to ask you.
1:45:51
We got to ask you one of these questions because this is just
1:45:53
how it goes here. Who would win in a fight?
1:45:57
50 Bobcats or 25 mountain lions? That's pretty fucking.
1:46:01
Wait, that's a kind of close. That's a kind of a close ratio
1:46:04
there. That's a 2 to one.
1:46:05
Yeah, Bobcats are small. Very small.
1:46:08
Mountain lions ain't that much bigger than that.
1:46:10
You know why I got both of those things at my house, right?
1:46:12
Now you don't have mountain lions at your house.
1:46:13
There's. No, yeah, I do.
1:46:14
Lions in New Jersey. I do.
1:46:16
No, you don't. All right then, it's a big
1:46:17
bobcat then. I'm honestly, I'm going to say
1:46:22
bobcat 50 Bobcat, Yeah. Because, you know, he attacked
1:46:27
from every direction. It's.
1:46:29
Volume. Exactly.
1:46:31
A lot of people go with that. Yeah, I'm saying mountain lions.
1:46:34
I don't know. Wow, you say mountain?
1:46:36
Oh wait, what is this OK? I.
1:46:38
Swear to you that's what I got at my house.
1:46:40
You do not have a fucking Mountain Lion in your backyard.
1:46:43
Car That's a big mountain, actually, that a Mountain Lion
1:46:46
might be able to. Bob, Bob.
1:46:48
And it's not like it's 2 mountain lions.
1:46:50
It's 20 fucking five of them, Yeah.
1:46:52
But then there's 50. Of the little guns.
1:46:54
No, I would say a Mountain Lion. Look how small the bobcat is,
1:46:57
it's barely bigger than a normal cat.
1:46:59
Pause. That's getting me like if a
1:47:00
Mountain Lion just went like this.
1:47:02
Yeah, but look at that. Fucking guy right there.
1:47:04
Dude literally look how pissed off he looks.
1:47:06
Look at that shit. Actually, it's kind of a close
1:47:08
fight. That is not a close.
1:47:10
Fight when there's when there's double the amount of them.
1:47:12
Yeah, the double the amount I. Don't know.
1:47:13
We have to see that one. Kind of getting me.
1:47:15
We have to see that all right, somebody AI simulation this shit
1:47:18
right now. We don't, we don't, you know,
1:47:21
appreciate AI, but you know, if for this moment we might.
1:47:25
Dream car money. No, no, no problem.
1:47:27
What would it be? Any car?
1:47:30
Yes. I don't know.
1:47:34
At one point it was the RS6, I got that one.
1:47:37
So I'm stoked about that. And then at one point it was the
1:47:39
RWB 9/11 or 960-4911. Yeah.
1:47:43
And then I saw one at the track and I did not like it.
1:47:47
Really, Really. Way doper in pictures type of
1:47:51
deal. I think so.
1:47:51
I don't know. It looks so slonky.
1:47:54
It was so wide. It's like I was like, yeah, I
1:47:58
know it's wide. I love wide.
1:47:59
But I was looking at it was like, this is like on another
1:48:02
level of wide. Yeah, This is why people hate on
1:48:04
it. I like those cars too, but I
1:48:06
know what you're saying. And it's also like they're all
1:48:08
different. So yeah, you know, I mean, you
1:48:10
could get one where it was like the fucking thing was on airbags
1:48:13
and it's not driven hard at all and it's automatic and
1:48:16
everything. Or you can get one that's like
1:48:18
that. That guy does is.
1:48:19
Fucking track car to spec, which sucks because a lot of people
1:48:21
are calling him like a butcher recently for like things that
1:48:26
like they'll they'll clip something and then it's like
1:48:29
there's they didn't they didn't see what happened afterwards.
1:48:31
Like maybe that whole tow hook situation he like.
1:48:34
Fucking dude at the handle. Bonded the toe hook.
1:48:36
On Yeah, he did it for a reason. Yeah, because the owner person
1:48:39
was literally like, do it because we got to put this out.
1:48:43
Yeah, it wasn't like his choice. He wouldn't do that, whatever,
1:48:46
but. But also, it's like, you know,
1:48:48
that guy's out there making tons of money doing what he.
1:48:50
Wants to do for women so but and he still wears PJS to work
1:48:53
that's. Hell yeah, dude.
1:48:55
I would love to do that. Doesn't have to get a haircut
1:48:58
whenever he wants. Fucking shit is awesome.
1:49:00
What song of yours feels the most emotionally raw to you?
1:49:03
On this new album, it's going to be Glenwood or Forevermore.
1:49:08
On the previous album, It's Pain Remains One.
1:49:10
Are we talking about Lorna Shore songs?
1:49:12
Are we talking about in general? No, no, no.
1:49:14
Lorna Shore for sure. Yeah, that OK.
1:49:16
That's what I would say. Forevermore is one of your
1:49:18
songs. Yeah, it's one of the next.
1:49:19
That's on the next album. I think that's a Taylor Swift
1:49:21
song too. That's how you know it's going
1:49:23
to be mad. Sad.
1:49:24
Yep, you better cry. I'm going.
1:49:29
To listen that one tonight, one more question.
1:49:33
It's. A music question, but I have an
1:49:35
interest in this as well. Will you ever do an acoustic or
1:49:39
clean vocal project? I would love to dude.
1:49:42
That'd be that'd be kind. Of fucking cool I would.
1:49:46
I have a friend who sends me like these acoustic like not
1:49:51
fully, just like kind of like chill ass music, like
1:49:54
instrumentals. I work on them sometimes like
1:49:59
I'll, it's, it's usually like when my ADD starts kicking in
1:50:01
and I'm like, I'm only work on something new so I could stop
1:50:04
working on this. And then I'm like, I wonder what
1:50:06
that sounded like. I don't really remember.
1:50:07
Let me listen to it again now listen to it again.
1:50:09
And then I'm like, that's actually not bad.
1:50:11
Let me keep running with that. And then I'll finish the song or
1:50:14
I'll, I'll finish the song temporarily.
1:50:16
I'll be like, I'll come back to this and then like 6 months will
1:50:18
go by and then I'll eventually come back to it.
1:50:22
So to to answer the question, I would love to do it.
1:50:25
I am doing it. It's just taking a really long
1:50:28
time because it is not on my priority list.
1:50:31
It's just like whenever I feel like doing it, if it's good
1:50:33
enough, then I'll use it. And there I know right now we
1:50:36
have one song that is good enough, but that's.
1:50:39
Going to be cool. It's going to take a long time.
1:50:41
The record label, they don't like that.
1:50:43
Oh, really? No.
1:50:45
I just found out if you put out anything with the record label
1:50:47
or once I started joining Lorna, it's like it all will be all the
1:50:53
money that you could possibly make on something that has
1:50:55
nothing to do with Lorna will get put into the record label.
1:50:58
It'll just take the whole thing until my contract has expired.
1:51:03
Just crazy. I know.
1:51:06
I'm like, dude, I don't even. This has nothing to do with
1:51:07
Lorna. I'm not asking for anything for
1:51:09
more like, yeah, well, you know, you signed the piece of paper
1:51:11
here. That means that you can't do it.
1:51:13
I'm like that. That's crazy.
1:51:17
Yeah. Wow.
1:51:19
That's real shit. And now you're here.
1:51:22
Exactly so here though. Right.
1:51:25
Last question. How far do you plan on pursuing
1:51:27
drifting a group question mark? Were you already there?
1:51:30
We're there all right, Drift, team competitions, anything like
1:51:33
that. I would love to do a competition
1:51:35
and I'd love to have a drift team, but it feels like as soon
1:51:37
as my friends all go to a group they just stopped driving.
1:51:39
I don't know what the fuck is their problem.
1:51:41
Yo, you said that once. I am that.
1:51:44
Yeah. What is your problem I.
1:51:47
Can't. I can't say anything right now.
1:51:49
You suck. Dude, I have everybody just
1:51:50
keeps doing. I'm like oh shit, you finally
1:51:52
you're. I am man.
1:51:53
I'm fucking a group. Great, let's drive.
1:51:55
We we can drive together. We can make a shitty team.
1:51:57
Now that I'm a group now I'm like totally more interested in
1:52:00
doing it. I had a friend named Phil Phil
1:52:02
the dent guy. He's great.
1:52:03
He drives a blue Corvette. I've.
1:52:04
Heard of this guy? He's great.
1:52:05
I love him to death. Who?
1:52:06
Was I talking to that? Was there recently?
1:52:08
Dude, our one friend Jay from Staten Island literally was with
1:52:11
Phil the other day and he's like, yeah, this is Phil.
1:52:13
I'm like, dude, that's Phil the Dent guy.
1:52:15
Yeah, he's great. It says on the side of the vet
1:52:18
like clean and clear right there.
1:52:20
He's gonna make a team with me one day.
1:52:21
Yeah, one day. There we go all right and you
1:52:25

1:52:27

1:52:34

1:52:38
Album cover of our Drift team. If you want to be a part of the
1:52:41
drift team you need a kissy tattooed on your ass yo.
1:52:47
So are you going to do it now or what?
1:52:48
There's people out there with faction tattoos right now which.
1:52:51
Is kind of crazy. Are they all in the faction team
1:52:53
I. Mean.
1:52:54
Miyagi. I wanna say yeah.
1:52:57
That's gonna be really sad when you have to tell them that they
1:53:00
see it's getting. Just gonna block it out.
1:53:02
Yeah. It's like, sorry, bro, The team
1:53:04
actually doesn't exist anymore. We're the love masters now.
1:53:06
Sorry. We don't make blood, we Make

1:53:21
Joining bro that yeah, this has been a pleasure.
1:53:23
It's great to meet you as just like another person, not like,
1:53:27
not like you as a famous person. Very nice to meet you.
1:53:30
It's nice to meet you too, dude. I just want to be treated like
1:53:32
another dude. We're all just dudes hanging
1:53:34
out, you know? We like driving our cars.
1:53:36
We love our adrenaline. Everybody, all of us, people you
1:53:38
have like the same. I don't really know if we talked
1:53:40
about drifting really that much. Didn't.
1:53:41
We did. I mean, we did.
1:53:42
But we just there was. Something I wanted to ask you
1:53:44
but I forget what it was. We.
1:53:45
Were just touching about a bunch of random bullshit.
1:53:48
I love that though. I'd say if you guys it's.
1:53:50
About Bergen community. Bergen community yo shout out.
1:53:54
To Bergen Bergen Community College.
1:53:56
Yeah. They've made a bunch of cool
1:53:58
guys over there, bro. They did.
1:54:00
They did, yeah. But I mean, this, this podcast
1:54:04
doesn't have a fucking agenda. We just come on and hang out and
1:54:06
then that's it. Well, I like it.
1:54:08
So this was a long thing waiting.
1:54:11
Basically, this is supposed to come a long time ago.
1:54:13
It never happened. I'm home for the next month and
1:54:15
a half. We ever want to do it again?
1:54:16
And where's your first stop? Where?
1:54:17
Where you at? Next US Run, there's a bunch of
1:54:21
big places and we end it with Madison Square Garden, so I'm
1:54:25
excited. Square Garden, Yeah.
1:54:27
That is, that's a big one. To be fair, it is not the arena.
1:54:31
It is the Garden at Madison Square Garden.
1:54:33
OK, a buddy one would think is bigger because it's it's in the
1:54:36
name Madison Square Garden. Are you guys are is are you
1:54:39
headlining this? Yeah.
1:54:41
Damn you, you. Need anything there?
1:54:43
My buddy runs operations in there.
1:54:45
I will make sure you got water bottles.
1:54:47
We need, we need water bottles. Make sure we get that.
1:54:50
Are you like, please, are you like too big now?
1:54:52
Like, are you going to play Starland again or are you like,
1:54:54
is that over now? I would like to, but also not
1:54:57
like to at the same time because ever since I I liked it more as
1:54:59
a viewer and less as a player because as we started playing
1:55:01
it, I started realizing I was like, I can't.
1:55:03
The sound in the room is just weird.
1:55:06
It with. I'm sure there's a way to make
1:55:07
it work, but I don't play Starland enough to spend the
1:55:10
time to make it work. It's like too.
1:55:12
It's like you'd go to a guest track and then you're like, all
1:55:15
right, well, maybe I'll change my DIF ratio and do all this
1:55:19
shit and you're like, I'm only here for like a day.
1:55:21
Yeah, why? I'm not gonna.
1:55:22
I was gonna drive it and then. So it's not ideal, but it's like
1:55:26
it's good enough. Yeah.
1:55:27
So that's how I feel about. Any other local ones or is it
1:55:29
just Madison Square? Madison Square, there's a lot of
1:55:33
big ones. I just don't know which ones.
1:55:35
Honestly, I'm the worst person to ask.
1:55:36
You could come, dude. You can come.
1:55:38
Oh, I can. We wanted to go to the Starland
1:55:41
home but we didn't because we fucking we're doing something
1:55:43
else. Well, next time we come to
1:55:45
Madison Square Garden. That's kind of crazy though.
1:55:47
I kind of want to see you in like a, you know?
1:55:49
What do you mean? I fucking go nuts If I was like,
1:55:52
yo, I know that guy. I mean, that's good for him, but
1:55:54
like, I want to see him in like a small venue, you know?
1:55:56
You know what the? Fuck, I know what you're talking
1:55:58
about. We're not going to be doing
1:55:59
those for a while. OK, good.
1:56:01
Which is that's great. That's great.
1:56:02
So I missed those as well. So.
1:56:04
OK, that's what that's why I was asking.
1:56:06
Good. Keep doing a.
1:56:07
Big. I'm trying.
1:56:09
We're trying, bro. We're trying to stay afloat.
1:56:12
It's going to be good. The longer that it keeps going,
1:56:15
the longer I can keep driving and affording everything.

1:56:26
If you guys want to see Will Drive come to Club Loose.
1:56:30
And come to Club loose, I'll be there.

Start cooking up some ideas of who you want us to interview or
1:56:35
have a podcast with for final bout that's coming up at the end
1:56:37
of the month or whatever. Whenever August is, I think
1:56:40
that's in like a week. Yeah.
1:56:42
But yeah, this has been really been really fun.
1:56:45
I like this. Outro music isn't nice.
1:56:47
It's cool. It's very sweet.
1:56:48
It's very calm. Everybody, everybody go.
1:56:49
To. Mother fucking faction did.
1:56:54
Everybody go to Faction and I'll see you guys at the track.
1:56:59
I'll see you well, thank you. Peace.
1:57:00
That's a good fun that's. A good fun right here.
1:57:05
Good. Fun.
1:57:07
Did we do good do that thing? I have such a big head.
1:57:40
All right, well, that was a good episode.
1:57:41
Will Ramos of Lauren Ashore. Yes Lauren Ashore, they got a
1:57:45
new album coming out, make sure you check it out.
1:57:47
September 12th. I feel the ever black festering
1:57:51
within me. That's deep.
1:57:53
That's a crazy title. That's deep.
1:57:55
I kind of. I kind of like the title.
1:57:57
I like it too. I'm gonna give it a shot.
1:57:58
There's there's a couple new song.
1:58:00
I think there's a couple of songs off the album.
1:58:02
They're out right now. He.
1:58:03
Says that they try a lot of new stuff in this new album so.
1:58:06
Yeah, so I'm down to, I'm down to give anything a shot.
1:58:09
You know, I'm not too much of A death metal person, but fuck it,
1:58:13
Will's too cool of a guy to not listen.
1:58:15
Yeah, you got to support him. Give it a listen at least once.
1:58:18
Yeah, I I'd really like the questions we got regarding like
1:58:21
the music side of Yeah, everything.
1:58:24
It was pretty interesting. A lot of those questions were
1:58:27
were from one person too, which is funny.
1:58:30
He's got like some pretty dedicated fans.
1:58:35
But yeah, Will Ramos, cool dude. Glad he found us.
1:58:38
Glad he found club loose. Glad he found drifting.
1:58:41
Yeah, like out of everything that was, I did not know that
1:58:43
about him. I did not know that that was the
1:58:45
first car thing he ever even went to.
1:58:47
It was a club loose drift event. That's pretty crazy to me.
1:58:50
So he did, like, when you think about it, he doesn't even know
1:58:53
really anything about cars except for drifting.
1:58:56
Yeah. Like all of us here, like, we
1:59:01
got into cars, like going to car meets and then this, maybe drag
1:59:05
racing, maybe some other stuff. And then you found drifting.
1:59:08
You know, there's a whole, like, pathway.
1:59:10
He just dived right into drifting.
1:59:11
So it's interesting to see how his car life kind of develops.
1:59:18
Yeah. Will's got a bunch of cars, too,
1:59:19
2350 ZS. He's got a new.
1:59:22
New car. New car 240.
1:59:24
Got it R32. Oh yeah, he's got that too.
1:59:27
He's. Got his Audi RS6.
1:59:28
That car is sick. So yeah, he's definitely a car
1:59:31
dude now. He's deep in it.
1:59:33
Yeah, he's definitely one now. Guys, we we got a raffle going

2:00:53
Yeah, and if you're local, don't be afraid to hit us up for local
2:00:55
pick up for these origin stuff. Yeah, actually, that'd be even
2:00:57

have to ship it and you don't have to pay for shipping.
2:01:02

2:01:16
a row so I've been changing. I feel like I'm working at Midas
2:01:19
for the last 6-6 hours or whatever.
2:01:22
Had to. Put you on the.
2:01:23
Had to put me on the floor. Yeah, put you on the hands on
2:01:26
all hands on deck. Yeah, but it's going well.
2:01:29
We got some. I don't even know what I would
2:01:31
call that. I would call them like when when
2:01:33
we have a project that's like not long term, but long enough
2:01:39
that's like a midterm project. Short term midterm.
2:01:42
I guess you could call it a short term project.
2:01:43
Yeah, yeah. OK.
2:01:45
So we have like little short term projects like 240 were
2:01:48
rebuilding a lot of stuff. Got to give these cars like a
2:01:51
quick 180 you know? Yeah, but yeah, I would.
2:01:54
I would rather that, but that's just not how it works sometimes
2:01:57
with these kind of cars. I do want to mention the YouTube
2:02:01
though, because we we've filmed a lot of stuff recently.
