What's going on? Hello, everybody.
0:01
Welcome back to another episode of the After Hours podcast here
0:05
at Faction Motorsports. Today is a good one.
0:09
This is a banger. We sat down tonight with our
0:12
good friend John from Soapbox and Gearbox 2 businesses
0:17
involved in detailing and selling cars.
0:20
John is a good friend of Dimitri from Prime Motoring.
0:24
If you guys listened, I think it was a couple episodes ago, we
0:27
had Dimitri and JD from Prime Motoring here.
0:30
Prime Motoring is a Subaru shop that's right around the corner
0:34
and John and Dimitri go way back.
0:36
So John recently in the last few years opened up a detailing
0:43
company and him and Dimitri opened up a company called
0:49
Gearbox where they sell vehicles.
0:51
So and they, and they were all in the same building pretty
0:54
much. So it was a really cool
0:55
situation that was going on. John would always come over here
0:58
and get some tires and stuff mounted, possibly alignments, I
1:03
don't remember, but he'd always come over here for work.
1:06
He's an awesome guy. Only known him for a couple
1:08
years, but he you can tell right away that he's a genuine person
1:11
and definitely a smart person as well.
1:13
So I've, I learned a lot from him just from our small
1:16
interactions. So this was a, this was a fun
1:20
one. We thought John was going to
1:21
come by himself. And then Dmitri just said, Nah,
1:23
I'm coming, I'm coming. We got to, we got to talk about
1:25
a certain story. I said, OK, all right, whatever
1:27
you got to talk about. We covered a lot of stuff in
1:30
this episode. Let me not explain any of it.
1:33
We'll just dive in and let you hear it first hand.
1:36
Just a reminder, we are giving away products every month over
1:39
on factionmotorsports.com. Every $5 spent gets you one
1:43

1:46
double entries. And for this month, we're giving
1:48

1:56

2:03

4:19
located in Illinois. They produce bash bars and catch
4:22
cans for a bunch of popular models in the drifting
4:24
community. Limitless bash bars are honestly
4:26
the industry standard right now. Fabricated from 1 1/2 inch mild
4:29
steel tube, these bars are designed to take the impact of
4:32
light collisions in order to avoid or minimize damage to your

vehicle. A must have for drift cars.
4:37
Their bars also come with jacking points and optional
4:40
license plate brackets so everything you need is right
4:42
there from the start. Limitless Auto also sells catch
4:45
cans for a handful of specific models.
4:47

4:50
We have use these cans in the shop with great results.
4:52
The guys over at Limitless are on social media so make sure to
4:55

5:02
If you are in the market for a bash bar or catch can, make sure
5:04
to check out their full product line up on our website
5:07
factionmotorsports.com. We are excited to announce the
5:10
newest sponsor of our podcast, Ramstead MFG.
5:13
They sell an easy to use wheel fitment tool that is a massive
5:16
game changer for any shop or enthusiast looking for an easy
5:19
way to check their wheel fitment.
5:20
With their user friendly tool you can check diameter with an
5:23
offset before you buy your wheels.
5:25
Gone are the days of ordering wheels and hoping that your math
5:28
was correct. Just throw their tool on your
5:30
wheel hub and dial in your specs to see if your dream wheel
5:33
clears your coil over and fenders before committing to the
5:36
purchase. Not only can you check wheel
5:37
fill in with their tool, you can use it to check suspension
5:40
clearance as well. This is really great for
5:42
Drifters who are always changing wheel lock and adding angle to
5:45
their setups. Now you can see if those new
5:47
suspension arms or tie rods will clear your wheels at full lock
5:50
before going out and destroying your new wheels.
5:53
Another feature is that you can use two of these tools together
5:56
to measure track with from the wheel center line.
5:58
About 20% of Ramstead's customers purchase 2 tools at
6:02
once so they can measure track with for various wheel and
6:04
suspension setups. I recommend this product to the
6:07
everyday enthusiast and most importantly shop owners that
6:09
need a way to size wheels for customers so that they know they
6:12
are getting the right specs before ordering a brand new set
6:14
of wheels. To get more info, head on over
6:16

6:19
their Wheel Fitment Tool Pro, we are now carrying them in store

7:43
We have John from Soapbox. Welcome, John.
7:47
Thank you. Thank you.
7:48
And. There, there they are, the.
7:50
Other one that you and Dimitri are doing Soapbox.
7:52
We also have Gearbox. Gearbox.
7:54
Yeah, Gearbox. So Soapbox is the detailing
7:56
Gearbox is selling. OK, so you guys sell cars too?
7:59
The name rolls off the tongue and that just seems like a name
8:02
that's profitable as fuck. Yeah.
8:04
Like, it's just like one of those things.
8:05
It's like. Like how does no one thought?
8:07
I mean, I'm sure people. What was that food thing, the
8:09
early food thing, the food delivery thing?
8:12
Grubhub No. No, no, it was like like it
8:14
comes in pieces. HelloFresh.
8:16
Why the fuck is it called HelloFresh?
8:17
It's. Yeah, that's kind of a good name
8:19
too, so. Soapbox.
8:19
That kind of rolls off the tongue too.
8:21
Soapbox. Soap What is it?
8:23
Soapbox. It's not that.
8:25
It's not that. Soap.
8:26
Wait, what? Soapbox Gearbox.
8:28
Oh, they're both boxes. Both two boxes.
8:29
OK, cool. Box Master.
8:32
Soapbox is an interesting one. Soapbox is fun.
8:36
But it is a good name though. That name?
8:37
How did you come up with that name?
8:38
Oh my God, dude. We had so my brother who's a
8:42
part of Soapbox and Dmitry, who's also a part of Soapbox.
8:45
We had a couple like naming sessions where we like, you
8:49
know, just get in a room and even just on a phone and just
8:51
like, what the hell are we going to name this thing?
8:53
What are we going to do? And I forget exactly how it came
8:57
up when my brother said Soapbox and my brother said it first, it
9:01
was like whoa. And then you're like, you think
9:03
of like an old school soapbox, like when someone stands on a
9:05
podium and like announces that. Like it just feels like a really
9:08
strong name and a good brand. I love the name and I love the
9:11
brand. Obviously.
9:14
I think you guys know, we started as a mobile detailing
9:16
van and then we quickly grew to two.
9:20
And as soon as I got the second van, the space next to Prime
9:25
became available. So I was like, not really ready
9:28
for a shop. I didn't want that commitment.
9:30
That should. That makes it real.
9:32
Probably super real. It makes it not even I I was
9:34
already committed to making it real, but I was like, dude, I
9:37
don't know, like another six, $7000 a month in bills, Yeah.
9:41
That's what I mean. That's the part that I'm talking
9:43
about that. Shit is real.
9:44
Yeah, because it's, you know, any new business, you we all
9:47
know it's you're scraping together together pennies that
9:50
like just trying to make it all work.
9:52
And, you know, shit, the first couple of months that we were
9:55
open, I, I signed a lease or not a lease.
9:57
I signed a rental for Public Storage right here and we were
9:59
working out of a 10, 10 by 10 storage unit, just like trying
10:02
to make it work. And yeah, I, I, I didn't want
10:06
to, but I did it. So you did you.
10:08
You didn't have the space before you started the brand.
10:10
You started the brand before the space.
10:12
Brand was like I, I spent a lot of time with the logo, with the
10:16
website, with the idea, the pricing, with the names, all
10:18
that fun stuff. And we, it was going to strictly
10:23
be mobile. I wanted a place to park the
10:26
vans. We had two different business
10:28
plans with a fork in the road or one plan with the fork in the
10:31
road going two different ways. The first way which I thought we
10:35
were going to do was like, you know, 1020 vans on the road like
10:39
making it. The building was literally just
10:42
to. Park our.
10:43
Vans. Yeah.
10:44
I, you know, I've always looked up to and respected companies
10:47
like ASW and like detailers Domain, like Phil.
10:50
I've known Phil for like 20 years and what really funny
10:52
we've only known each other over the phone for like 20 years and
10:54
we met when Soapbox was live. Like.
10:58
You know, like you look at those detail shops, you're like,
11:00
that's a real detail shot. But, and I didn't think I was
11:03
possibly capable of it and I didn't want the PPF action or
11:07
any of that stuff. I didn't even want to get into
11:09
ceramic coding originally because I obviously know what it
11:12
all is. I can do it myself, but I
11:13
didn't. Feel like it's such a big part
11:15
now of detailing. It is right you like you need
11:18
it. And the high end clients, I feel
11:19
like it was that was a seller for like those higher cars or
11:25
not higher end car like. Well, yeah, kind of.
11:27
I feel like PPF only only like people who really spend money on
11:32
the car, began PPF. Dude.
11:33
Like for sure. Like I'm not putting PPF on the
11:36
Quay. What?
11:38
Yeah. On the Quay outside PBF.
11:40
What? I remember like back in 2007,
11:45
like one of my closest friends, Adam Sasso.
11:47
I'm not sure if you guys know who he is but he's like a
11:50
probably a pioneer in the North Jersey car scene.
11:53
Back in the day. Dub Audi always had the coolest
11:55
cars. Really nice guy, just cool shit.
11:59
He was doing 3 M clear bra back in the I.
12:01
Remember that. And we were like, whoa, what's
12:03
that shit? I.
12:04
Remember that shit? Imagine how I'm sure, I'm sure
12:09
that it has improved in terms of like ease of application, not
12:13
like it bitch, but like it's, but I mean like imagine the
12:17
earlier material that shit was. No, that shit was garbage dude.
12:21
It was probably. Like yellow?
12:23
Like, within a year, yeah. Yellowed so.
12:25
Crazy never matched like you have it on your hood and then
12:27
the Fender would look different or something yeah and the.
12:29
People would do like half the hood.
12:31
Yeah. Oh, that's the worst.
12:32
So it'd be like. Oh, the little like literally
12:34
there's like a hard line just. Like the rock chip area?
12:37
Yeah. Dude, I'm one of those people.
12:38
Back then I was like like like because I had cars that I cared
12:42
about, but I was like, I don't want to, I don't want to do some
12:46
of this shit because it's just it makes it like, you know the
12:48
people that have like the 9 elevens and they put that weird
12:50
black thing on the back up in front of the rear quarter panel,
12:53
the rear wheels. It's like this weird magnetic
12:56
thing that just. Sticks there.
12:57
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're like, yeah, it's to
12:58
protect the paint. I'm like, yeah, but now your car
13:00
looks ugly 100% of the time, for sure.
13:02
So it's like what? I think some cars look actually
13:04
pretty cool with it. Like you.
13:05
You guys know John De Simone grass roots?
13:09
No, I I don't. We have mutual friends but I
13:11
don't think I actually. Met I've known John for like 20
13:13
years. Also he has AAZ 3 coupe.
13:16
Yeah, with the BMW. And he's got that.
13:17
He's. Got a little thing.
13:19
Yeah, he has like little black magnetic.
13:21
Yeah, that's like a beamer thing, I think.
13:23
It looks kind of cool when I see it on the 9/11.
13:25
Hate it? Yeah, I'm like, I don't know.
13:28
What about those leather bras? Or is that what we're talking
13:30
about right now too? You're talking like the front
13:32
the. Front the front has a full that
13:34
was like really big more and like late nineties 2000s it was
13:38
like a a Pep boys hot item dude like.
13:41
All that shit. Leather bra, especially on like
13:44
a civic. They have the ones that is just
13:46
on the hood. Fuck that.
13:47
The like little leatherette that goes on the hood with a civic on
13:50
it. But even back then, I would, I
13:51
remember, I would compare the clear bra to that shit, 'cause
13:54
I'd be like, you can see it, dude.
13:56
You can see it. No, you can't and.
13:58
Then like the worst part is like it would get like littered with
14:01
rock chips and you can see the rock ships.
14:03
Yeah. So either way, it's like all
14:04
peppered. Up, Yeah.
14:05
Either way, you got. Rock ships.
14:06
I was always like, I'm just gonna fucking paint it.
14:08
Yeah, like I I didn't like the leather bras because of my thing
14:11
is like it's touching the fucking car.
14:14
Yeah. Something is on the paint
14:17
already so like shit gets in there.
14:19
I don't understand if you take that off.
14:21
It's all like moldy and it's. Gonna look so bad under that,
14:25
you know what I mean? Yeah, what was the point of that
14:26
shit even? Like I don't know, but but I do,
14:28
there are sometimes where I feel like it does look cool.
14:31
I don't know. I'm trying to think in my head.
14:32
There's I'm trying to be a full hater.
14:35
I think about it on like like a late 90s GMC truck.
14:39
Yeah, a truck and. I'm like, all right, yeah, it's
14:41
fine. I'm still picturing it on a
14:42
Civic because I know they have one that that says Civic on it
14:47
and on like a white car or like a silver car that you would
14:50
probably look kind of cool. That's like we always say, like
14:54
when you spend Max mod dollars at AutoZone, that's like the
14:59
product. There was one the other day and
15:01
at Walmart because I was passing by and I was like, damn, I need
15:04
a few things. I'll just go to Walmart and it
15:06
was at peak hours. Because you ever tried to go to
15:08
Walmart lately? Fuck that.
15:09
Fuck Walmart peak. Fuck that, but.
15:11
Peak hours Walmart specifically. Like after work bro it's peak.
15:16
From 9:00 in the morning until it's.
15:18
Not it's not it's not because those there's people who are
15:21
going at Walmart need to work. They had they they like.
15:24
At work, I don't know if you're right about.
15:26
It just like me. I'm like what?
15:27
Actually you could probably pull up the Google Analytics and see
15:30
the peak hours of Walmart. Yeah.
15:32
Dude, it's but I pulled in. There was a the usual suspect,
15:36
it was a Honda Accord with the tail lights that have every kind
15:41
of sequential function. So like fucking he's on the
15:45
brakes. It could have been flashy.
15:47
And then they're. They're like filling up like
15:49
it's like, I'm like, OK. And then then the cannons, the
15:53
diffusers for the for the rear windshield, the front
15:55
windshield. That's something.
15:57
Oh my fucking. God, oh God, this guy.
16:00
The front windshield. Come, Papa Squad.
16:03
Come on in, Daddy. All the all the under panels and
16:06
shit like it, it is unreal. Shit, $48,000, you're rich.
16:12
Wait, should we talk about this now?
16:13
We could talk Perfect, perfect. They just have water.
16:17
Nice to see. You they have bud heavy.
16:18
We got water. Bud heavy mouth.
16:20
Yeah, I. Get.
16:22
Thank you, Sir. I appreciate it.
16:23
Thank you, Malcolm. Sorry, I was on the.
16:27
Phone. How's everything going, man?
16:28
How's the move? How's every?
16:30
We have Dimitri from Prime joining as well.
16:32
He's a return guest here. Hey.
16:33
Guys. These two know each other
16:35
apparently long time. We met Long, we met once before.
16:38
So you came in yelling about $48,000 on the screen.
16:41
We have a V70R that you guys sold.
16:44
So, Gearbox. Yeah.
16:45
So Soapbox is the detailing side and we can touch back on that
16:48
later. But then after Soapbox started,
16:51
we started Gearbox, OK, trying to supplement the income and
16:55
make sure that we could pay our bills without, yeah, going
16:58
under. Never ending rent.
16:59
Why? Why'd you guys decide to do this
17:02
together? Dimitri?
17:03
Why do you want to sell cars? So.
17:05
Were you worse selling cars though?
17:06
Right, Kind of. No, I was.
17:08
I was. I was never selling to the
17:09
public. I sold to the public years ago
17:11
and then I never. Oh.
17:13
I sold to the public years ago and it was just a lot of like
17:16
dumb shit, you know, and you're dealing with like a lot of dudes
17:19
that you know, you have problems with titling and stuff like
17:22
that. So it's like, you know, fuck
17:23
this shit. I'm just going to wholesale.
17:24
So I would wholesale and it was just easier because you just
17:26
deal with dealers and they buy the car and you're gone.
17:30
Like there's no middleman, nothing.
17:32
And thank you, Sir. Appreciate it.
17:35
Damn. Sexy service dog.
17:37
Damn, Malcolm, thank you. Thank you.
17:39
Dude this is real JMO move. Right, this is real JRE shit.
17:44
Hell yeah, it really was. Next time wear the outfit we
17:47
left you, but otherwise it. Was good dude.
17:50
We were selling cars for a while and it was like.
17:52
Yeah, you were making me want to do that.
17:54
Listen, it's good. You just deal with a lot of
17:55
shit. Yeah, a lot of bulls.
17:57
From customers or like. Vendors.
17:59
Customers. Oh, OK, because.
18:00
You're when you're selling to the public and like DMV sucks.
18:04
I was like gonna chime in and say I take the shit from the
18:06
customers all day long. The.
18:08
DMV is the war. Get fucked.
18:10
Dude, So you can't, if you're a dealer, you can't walk in and
18:13
just get a title like you can like make an appointment.
18:15
You go and just hand in your shit.
18:17
You have to like drop it off. And the people that work it are
18:20
the most miserable people. Like they.
18:23
Hate. I think we've covered this
18:24
before, right? The DMV conversation.
18:26
DMV. So you drop.
18:27
It off and then they call you but they never call so then
18:30
you'll go there and you'll be like hey, can I get my title or
18:34
is my title ready? They'll be like, we didn't call
18:35
you. They're like well it's been like
18:37
2 weeks and the title will be sitting like right there in the
18:40
basket. Holy shit.
18:42
And they'll be like, no, we'll call you leave.
18:45
Like literally. Yeah, they treat you like your
18:47
like your criminal. Seriously, they treat you like
18:49
straight shit So what the fuck. It's like then the the
18:54
customer's temp tag's expiring. They're like, I need my title
18:57
and you can't get it. And if you go they'll kick you
19:00
out and it's just stupid stuff like that.
19:03
So I'm like, yeah, fuck this shit.
19:04
It's not even worth it. The extra couple grand that you
19:06
make it, just wholesale the car and just be done with it.
19:08
You don't have to deal with title.
19:09
You write a reassignment and it's gone.
19:11
So he came along and so he came back into my life after a hiatus
19:19
and the I was like, you know, he's good with like people he's
19:24
dealing with the like, I'm just don't, I don't have patience for
19:27
it anymore. So I was like, he's like, how
19:28
can we make more money? I was like, weird.
19:31
You know, it it with the starting the soapbox thing too.
19:34
It was you, you know, it's a new business.
19:37
It's you're, you're detailing cars.
19:39
You're not making a shit ton of money, rent and overhead and
19:42
insurance and all this crap. I was like, dude, I'm like, I'll
19:46
sell the cars that I'm gonna wholesale.
19:48
I'm like, I'll give you the car, I'll sell it to you.
19:50
He's the wholesaler and that you're the wholesaler and then
19:53
just sell the car. But I'll hold the car so you
19:56
don't have to like put out the money immediately, right away.
20:02
I'll hold it. Let's see if you can sell it.
20:05
You just got to deal with the bullshit people.
20:06
I'll get the car ready and you deal with bullshit.
20:09
And if I buy a car that's good, I'll compression test it.
20:12
I'll do the fluids and whatever and roll it over to you, take
20:16
pictures and sell it. So that's what we did and it
20:18
worked out pretty good. Yeah, I like, I like the setup
20:20
over there. Like it seemed like you guys
20:22
were taking over that whole fucking place, like.
20:24
We were until they just. Dude.
20:28
I run the show there. Yeah, I'm fucking Daddy.
20:32
But. They make them call you daddy
20:34
too. I think they.
20:35
Do call me daddy. I make them.
20:36
When this thing went for 48, I bought 2 Volvo these.
20:39
I bought this one and a Gray one at the same time.
20:41
And everyone's like what's up with these?
20:43
I was like, yo, I'm like these are hot.
20:45
I'm telling you they're sick. And I bought it.
20:48
There was like a green one that sold on cars and bids for 40K
20:52
right right when I bought this. Like right right after I bought
20:56
this. Right after.
20:57
And I was like, ah, I'm like, this one's not as nice as that
20:59
green one. I didn't know the red was like,
21:02
I know red was nice but I was like that green looks kind of
21:05
crazy and it kind of like pops. Yeah, it's like flash green
21:08
metallic Volvo. It's pretty sick.
21:10
I was like. Yeah, you know, I'm like, dude,
21:11
we get 20K for it 25 we good like good little payday.
21:15
We mean rent like whatever and then it just like it was good.
21:20
Comments from the start usually bring a trailer.
21:24
People are very difficult. Are you guys mostly just doing
21:27
bring a trailer or? Like, no, so Subarus we sell
21:30
like mostly on our own. And then I was like, let's throw
21:33
these quirky cars on, bring a trailer and see what what they
21:35
do. I didn't think it was going to
21:37
do that. That's crazy.
21:38
If it did half that, I would have been fucking over the moon.
21:41
And. Where'd you get this one from
21:43
like? I was just like scouring fucking
21:45
ads and shit and just found it and it was really good price and
21:51
it needed a little work. So like the, the, the wheels
21:54
were curbed up and stuff like that and it had like snow tires
21:58
and we just swapped that out. So you just cleaned it up?
22:00
Just. Cleaned it up a little bit and
22:03
that's it. Just got, you know, cleaned up
22:05
the interior. Ed, who used to work for me, he
22:10
works for Volvo. He's like a big Volvo dude.
22:12
I was like, yo, Ed, come check this thing out.
22:14
He's like, whoa, this thing's sick, bro.
22:16
You know, he's like, he like, did like all the little like
22:19
Volvo stuff. I'm sure Volvo people probably.
22:22
I mean, if you look at like so there's 212 comments, right?
22:28
Look at like fucking 812 Competicione on bring a trailer.
22:32
It's like neck and neck as far as how many people are coming
22:36
the. Volvo guys are serious.
22:37
Yeah, they're they're also like more helpful.
22:40
Like we sold a couple 9 elevens on there in the 9/11 crowd.
22:43
They just want to kill you. They want to go right for the
22:45
jugular. Yeah, sorry if you're a 9/11
22:47
guy. No, I'm not sorry.
22:49
You're fucking horrible dude. It's like you're, you're,
22:52
they're so. Mean like this guy T5.
22:54
PTS. You see that?
22:56
Guy yeah T. Fiving T fiving, yeah.
22:58
T Fiving, he was the owner of the green car that sold for 40
23:01
grand, you know, and he came in being super nice and helpful.
23:04
This guy Greg, I think his name. Is you know what this was?
23:07
It was an old forum, Yeah. It was like VW Vortex.
23:10
Just do my God, Volvos, just. Like VW vortex.
23:14
Whoa, a Volvo V70R. Let's all talk about the Volvo
23:17
V70R. Yeah, like that we love and all
23:19
that. Does is like move it up the
23:21
algorithm? It did.
23:21
And it was, it was great. These dudes were awesome.
23:24
When it's you're selling like a 911, the cars make good money.
23:28
It's in the comments though. You're it's like like what's
23:31
that ticking sound? What's this?
23:33
What's that was IMS, IMS, IMS, IMS, IMS, IMS.
23:37
And it's like. Over Rev over Rev over Rev over.
23:40
It's not like. 11 people are just people that don't really
23:44
get it. Do they really understand?
23:46
Here's my beef. The people in the comments
23:48
section of the 9/11 post on Bring a Trailer.
23:50
The dudes that don't bid no. So the guy's talking shit.
23:53
It's 911 fanboys that never bid. That's what it.
23:55
Sounds I was going to say they researched way too much.
23:58
So on Bring a Trailer, there's a lot of people that that they
24:02
live and die for the thumb up. So they make the comment for the
24:06
thumb up. OK, I see what you're saying.
24:08
Like the like the like the like, the like.
24:12
Remember on the forums what would what would you?
24:14
The yeah I would. Count your comment.
24:16
The post Yeah, yeah, yeah, the more post.
24:19
The more seasoned you are, so these guys are trying to like
24:23
this is what they're doing. And there's guys that will
24:26
literally go on a car they'll bid a dollar just to show on
24:30
their profile that they've bid on like 200 cars.
24:34
It's like yo, and then they'll make what's this?
24:36
Was this done? Was this done?
24:37
Was this done? What's that?
24:38
Do I notice something? What's that shadow?
24:40
Is that a scratch? Is that IMSDME clutch been done
24:45
rear main seal? What about this?
24:47
It's it's just like yo. It's insane.
24:49
It's insane. It's every car though, but it's
24:51
it's. Like really bad, but I get it.
24:53
I get it. A lot of these guys, you know,
24:57
we look at it at a different, a different light.
25:00
A lot of these guys like a $30,000 nine 96 Cabrio is, is a
25:04
very big purchase for them. And I get it, that's cool.
25:08
But like the cars got like 20,000 miles.
25:12
It's not going to implode if the IMS wasn't done.
25:15
It's probably OK. So and and budget the IMS in
25:19
there if it's been done or not. It's really not like a ton of
25:22
money, especially when you're talking about like that's a a
25:25
$30,000 one. If you get into like a 5060
25:27
thousand dollar 911, you have to do the IMS bearings.
25:30
It's regular maintenance, bro. Yeah, that's what you got
25:32
yourself into. The IMS bearing is that like a?
25:34
Was it a crank bearing? What was?
25:35
It it's like an intermediate shaft bearing.
25:37
It's like you pull the trans off and shit and it's is it?
25:41
Translated. No.
25:43
On the motor. It's it's on the motor side, but
25:45
like that. Is yeah, that's.
25:48
Yeah, with the job entails. You do.
25:50
You do when you're when you do the clutch, Yeah, what you're
25:52
gonna do eventually. Yeah.
25:53
And most people have. They've done the clutch.
25:55
It's been done, too. Yeah, like so.
25:57
You're a Batman, that. Crazy you do a clutch and.
25:59
If it's an auto car you have to pull the whole motor and trans
26:02
out to do it. If it's a manual, you can
26:04
actually get the. Trans out automatics actually
26:06
worse. Yeah, luckily Gearbox, we don't
26:09
really sell too many auto cars. I look at autos too, but the if
26:13
there's a good deal, it's a good deal.
26:14
Like I scour the depths of the Internet looking for deals.
26:18
So at first you were just gonna wholesale cars for him, but then
26:20
you guys were like. I was like, yeah, let's try
26:22
these out. And then like I never bring a
26:25
trailer was never on my radar. And What Car did you saw on on
26:31
cars and bids at one time? Like for I was like, oh, that
26:35
went pretty well. Like you did it yourself.
26:37
First car that we did a cars and like one of these online
26:39
auctions for. I forget what it was.
26:43
What was the first Cars and Bits car?
26:45
You didn't. Talk about this too, like you
26:47
mentioned it earlier I feel like as well.
26:49
The first cars and bits car we did was not a 911, right?
26:54
No cars and no, I forgot What Car was it.
26:59
Shit, I'm drawing a blank. Probably an Audi.
27:01
No. We did an Audi.
27:02
We did a couple of Audi. Trailer the I don't know, he did
27:05
a cars and bits car and I was like.
27:08
Yeah, we didn't lose. So we're like, right?
27:11
WI was like 'cause. He's like when you put get rid.
27:13
Of a car. When you put this shit on here,
27:15
you can put a reserve, right? Not all the time, if they if
27:18
they allow you. If they allow it, this had a 19
27:21
K reserve. Holy shit dude.
27:23
Yeah. So I was like, that's a cool,
27:28
Yeah. Sweet.
27:29
Easy. Easy.
27:30
Easy. Easy, easy.
27:31
And it's like the sometimes they'll be like no reserve.
27:36
I know reserve. It's like.
27:37
So you put the car out and then they tell you how it's going to
27:40
go. You can.
27:41
Ask for some like you get like the targa what did the target?
27:46
Get for reserve once. Like now that I have like a
27:49
little bit of a relationship with the guys from Bring a
27:51
Trailer. Like I have a 2025 or 2024 Targa
27:55
going up. We're putting for someone up and
27:57
it's like a 24230. Reserve reserve.
28:00
But I, I went in asking for 2:30, they've countered give you
28:04
a 200 and we're like, can't do 200.
28:07
Can you meet us in the middle of 215?
28:09
Because they want to see the cars move.
28:11
Is that Yeah, they're holding. Money too, if it moves so.
28:14
Because there there's fees. There's fees, so they want it to
28:17
move as well, but they're trying they they're trying to get it to
28:20
where it's like a they yeah, it moves.
28:22
They want it to move too. So I don't blame.
28:25
That's interesting, I never knew how that worked.
28:28
Yeah, it's cool And and you you play them both cars and bids
28:31
bring a trailer. They're both good for something
28:33
like you see these Cayenne manuals yeah, go for sale and
28:37
some of them put up pretty big numbers like and I bought a
28:40
black one with a manual trans. It was like a which?
28:43
Gen. Cayenne comes in a manual.
28:45
They actually all did. The 1st and 2nd Gen. did really.
28:48
So we bought a second Gen. We bought a second Gen. black
28:53
one with a tan interior manual. It's getting cleaned up right
28:56
now and it's. That sounds like a riot dude.
28:59
That sounds fun if it was the V. Eight, I'm trying to find a no,
29:01
no, it's a pretty. Much car, the VR6 Yeah, but the
29:04
one did there was like a green one.
29:06
It was a rare color and it did like 120 K on cars and bids.
29:09
Yeah, bananas. Which is insane.
29:11
I don't think we'll ever do that.
29:14
I'd be cool with like 35. It's like, hey, man, we we, we
29:18
cover rent this month. Yeah, good.
29:21
So, oh, the first car we sold on on Carson business was was an
29:25
Audi, it was Adams S8. What the hell, Frankie?
29:30
It was an S8. So we did.
29:32
We did an Audi C, we did like AD 2 S 8.
29:35
Then we did an E30 Bower. That one on cars sounds.
29:39
Fantastic. Really cool.
29:40
E30 Bower is like kind of, it's like a BMW targa.
29:45
Yeah, it's pretty cool. Pretty cool.
29:47
Then we did an. That STI was nice.
29:49
Then we did an STI. What STI did we do?
29:51
Or was that the one that you raffled?
29:53
Didn't you give something? Never raffle again.
29:56
That's fucking worst thing ever, dude, really.
29:58
That's funny 'cause some people love it and they live and die by
30:01
it, dude. We'll never do it again.
30:02
Never do it again. We did it one time and that's
30:04
like never again. Then we did the Evo and it's
30:07
like never again and again it's like.
30:08
Yeah, I think that some people just have a really good you.
30:11
Need to have a crazy. Raffle presence and a good
30:13
following. Yeah, you have to or else it's
30:14
not gonna work. But we do and it's it.
30:17
But but it's very. Niche I I feel like.
30:19
But it dude, it's a cool car too.
30:21
But you were clean. It was a Subaru.
30:22
Right, the first one, the. First one was a WRX.
30:25
That almost put us out of business.
30:26
Yeah. Yeah, it was literally the worst
30:28
thing ever. If we didn't figure out how to,
30:30
like, raise our own money, we would have been smoked.
30:32
You know what would be good at Raffles?
30:35
You really should. You probably would because
30:37
you're good with like merchandise and stuff like.
30:39
That OEM shit in the back like that thing would be refreshed.
30:42
Well, the more our friend. Our friend Josh keeps raffling
30:46
car or he's he did 2. But he does the Josh shit to him
30:49
so then he adds a value so he gets.
30:50
A he finds a 240. That's like, you know, kind of
30:53
OK price or whatever and he'll get it and he'll just clean it
30:56
up and he goes to raffle it and he did, he did one the other day
30:58
and I was like, dude, I can't even believe.
31:01
I couldn't believe the money he got just raffling a stock car.
31:04
Diogo has to be goat. Diogo AMS Diogo.
31:07
He's absolutely GOAT but. It's gone.
31:10
The cars filled up in like 30 seconds.
31:13
Story like the day before they're.
31:15
Sending the money, they're selling the money.
31:17
Yeah, I mean, not even up yet. Kind of makes sense when you
31:19
think about it cuz it's like. I mean, he has cool shit.
31:22
Like, it's really cool. Yeah, the WRX fine.
31:24
It's a WRX. It like an FAWRX like I I would
31:28
probably not bid on that car either or buy anything for that
31:30
car. But that Evo is a 55,000 mile
31:33
Evo 8, Yeah. It's pretty.
31:34
Thick I saw clean title. Turbo kit like nice.
31:38
Car yeah like forward facing kits cool, but The thing is like
31:41
what happened with that WX oh we did that that JDMSTI, the wagon
31:46
to that car that car wasn't even up for a lot.
31:50
I think it was like 150 entry, something like. 125 one. 25 We
31:54
actually lowered it at the end is just a bum rush and then you
31:58
end it and you're like, we're done.
31:59
And people are like throwing more money at you're like,
32:01
where? Where were you?
32:03
Yeah, when the whole thing was the.
32:04
Whole thing was going and then you're getting people messaging
32:06
you. They're like, just call it now
32:07
because they were. Trying to make their decision
32:09
and then they, yeah. It's that's what it is.
32:11
It's annoying. So these other guys get on it.
32:14
So I think once I think people see Diogos and how it goes so
32:17
fast and they know they have to get in it or they're not.
32:19
Yeah, for sure. Does he?
32:20
Put a time limit on it like he doesn't.
32:22
Need to. He doesn't need to though.
32:23
He. Doesn't need to the thing.
32:25
Entered one of his giveaways. Yeah, but I've I went to enter a
32:28
couple of them and it's it was sold down.
32:30
I was like, damn, dude. It's like I didn't even get to
32:32
see this thing. Like, yeah.
32:34
Some of this stuff is really cool because he posts cool shit.
32:37
So I get, I guess most people are like, I need to get in on it
32:41
before it enters. So they like, they're like
32:43
throwing money at them before it even goes up.
32:45
Yeah. And he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
32:46
He's like, guys, I didn't even, I just posted a story that I'm
32:48
gonna raffle it. And they're just.
32:50
Starting, they're just like zelling him.
32:52
And shit, my God bro. Which is pretty cool.
32:54
Good for him. That's awesome.
32:56
And this is this is someone at what AM S?
32:58
AM S Autoworks. Oh, the one in.
33:00
Linden OK. Yeah.
33:02
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all the crazy euro stuff.
33:04
Yeah, I've heard of the shot, but I don't know anyone from
33:06
there. Go build some crazy shit.
33:08
Yeah, he's been doing it a long time, man.
33:09
He's. Yeah, he's on it for a long
33:10
time. Yeah, I feel like the raffle
33:12
thing works for some people and then not.
33:13
It's so fucking weird. Super.
33:15
Yeah. Do you think it's ever going to
33:16
go away? Hey James, is raffling something
33:18
off? I'll give James James a little
33:20
shout out here because I don't think his raffles full.
33:21
What is it? Raffle James Carper is raffling
33:23
off as JZX or a Skyline. Which one of them you want?
33:26
I don't know. Oh, you just pick one.
33:28
Yeah. Oh, it's.
33:29
Cool. What the fuck?
33:30
Yeah, that's. Kind of like go check that out a
33:31
good. Way to do it?
33:32
I know James because what sucks about this is what's happening
33:35
to James. James made a story and asked
33:37
interest. Fuck load of people.
33:39
Gave interest too. Fuck load of people gave
33:41
interest, then he then he's like all right fuck it raffle now
33:44
there's no one interested. Yeah, you can't fill it up.
33:47
Now there's AI want James raffle his car up.
33:50
I might buy raffle right now. Yeah, I.
33:51
Don't know, we'll buy one. We sold a vote for 48 grand.
33:56
Dude, we're going. We're getting fucking.
33:58
That's cool. We're getting more.
33:59
Steakhouse for fucking dinner tonight.
34:01
People are like. Oh man, I got to do something
34:03
real quick that's work related. Oh no, it's like, I wish I've
34:06
like people are like, oh, I wish I had it wasn't this, it was
34:10
Skyline. And then it's like, well, here's
34:11
your option for two. That's pretty good.
34:13
That's a good idea. But do you, do you think the
34:15
raffle market, I don't know if I'm wording, do you think it's
34:20
ever going to be like hindered or I guess it would be by
34:25
regulation? I think it's regulation wise
34:27
people are worried about. I think some people are doing it
34:30
really right, you know, and, and following.
34:33
The rule? If you're buying like a fake
34:35
thing, you're buying like a ticket.
34:37
I think it's good, like awesome if.
34:38
You get mad about that, you're a bitch.
34:40
Yeah, that's just annoying. I think a lot of people are also
34:43
very apprehensive to buy a raffle because they think
34:45
they're getting scammed. Yeah, but a lot of these guys
34:49
that do it often, like we've made the the life of some, like
34:54
the people that have bought it and like you call them, it's
34:56
really rewarding because they're just like, dude.
34:58
If I fucking want a car, I'd be off the.
35:01
Wall Oh my God, dude, some of these guys it's it's you call
35:03
them and they're just like what they're it's like complete utter
35:07
disbelief and it's like they're like they can't believe it and
35:10
they're so happy, dude. So it's really cool.
35:13
It's a really cool thing that's you can you can change and even
35:16
if they sell the car. You're helping that person
35:20
you're selling because they had to make a choice that like I
35:24
can't really keep this car the. Guy, yeah, the guy that bought
35:27
that won the WX last year. He sold it for like 30 grand.
35:31
Like that's life changing money for a lot of.
35:32
People. Barry, Yeah.
35:34
They bought a $50 T-shirt, you know what I mean?
35:36
That's. The even crazier part cause like
35:38
a lot of the sweepstakes type of deals like that where it's like
35:41
oh spend X amount of money, you get X amount of entries or
35:43
whatever. I don't.
35:46
I like when it goes to that person, you know what I mean?
35:49
Not the guy who's farming who buys like 100 spots and they're
35:53
like oh fuck. Yeah, that stuff can get weird
35:56
too, because I, I like the I thought we would do it well with
35:59
the, with the set entries, you know, set, you know, buy a
36:04
T-shirt set entries, you're not going, we're not going over this
36:07
amount. So you have a good chance of
36:09
winning this car. The the stuff where it's like
36:14
selling a ton of T-shirts and stickers and you're entered so
36:18
many times and these guys are making a crap ton of money on
36:21
these, on these cars. It's like, I get it from like
36:24
the seller standpoint of it, you're making a good margin, but
36:27
it's you're really making it, you know, just like a really
36:30
small percent chance of winning it.
36:32
But I guess either way that. Sounds like a processing
36:34
nightmare. Yeah.
36:35
Like I don't want to even can. Probably handle that.
36:37
What was it? Just like the selling
36:39
merchandise for entry. That's probably.
36:41
What I would want to do you guys are.
36:43
That's the right way to do it anyway.
36:44
Yeah, Like textbook. You know, by the state.
36:47
Yeah. Like we work.
36:48
We work with the guy, Brian that owns Prime Driven.
36:52
You know them. They're also like a huge MR2
36:54
Parts distributor. I was about to be like, that's
36:57
an MR2 guy, Yeah. Yeah.
36:58
Because every time I talk about Prime I, it's it's usually in
37:02
relation to your shot, Dimitri. We've been, we get calls from
37:04
there all the time. They're like we, they're I have
37:07
AMR 2. I need this done.
37:08
I'm like. No wrong person.
37:10
Because one of my older roommates has an MR2 and he
37:13
would talk about prime MR2. Yeah, yeah, like they're the
37:16
same thing. And then eventually I'm like,
37:18
are you are you talking about? It's funny, it's like that's
37:20
happened for years, like a decade and it's never, there's
37:23
never, there's no beef or anything or even I've never even
37:28
talked to him or anything like that.
37:29
And then you just like one day he bought a car from us.
37:32
I was like. Yeah, and I, I have a great
37:34
relationship with him now. Like he's a really cool they.
37:36
Rattled off a piss load of cars. Yeah.
37:38
Oh yeah, and you speak. About people being super happy
37:41
and grateful when they win a car and then I've seen first hand
37:44
people nod. Wait, what?
37:46
People get like they complain and nitpick about.
37:48
I love that. You know they got for free.
37:50
Yeah, he bought an, he, some dude won an STI that we we were
37:54
selling and we bought the car. Like I bought the car to sell
37:58
the car. We posted it, you know, and
38:01
Brian bought it. He's like, oh, this is a good
38:03
car. It was like it looked like the
38:05
motor would have been replaced. Like we don't know you're buying
38:07
it. It ran good for us.
38:09
Yeah, the car, he bought the car.
38:11
The car got shipped across country.
38:12
The guy drove it for a little bit and it blew up and it's he's
38:16
spamming us of like that worst scumbag selling like a shitty
38:22
car. I was.
38:22
Like it was a free fucking car. That's the thing too.
38:25
You could part it out. Oh yeah, sell the trans man like
38:27
like this. Guy I.
38:29
Sell the trans people are good. Yeah, you bought like a.
38:32
Culture. The reason?
38:33
How do you complain? About.
38:34
The reason he's bitching is because of the probably the
38:36
transport fee because that's probably the only thing you
38:38
really had to pay, no? I'm pretty sure Brian ships free
38:41
all over the. Country.
38:42
Then he just shut the fuck up. There's literally nothing you
38:44
could have complained about. Be grateful.
38:46
Guys, he has his friends. I mean, don't get me wrong.
38:51
Don't get me wrong, you don't want that to happen.
38:54
No. Right, but shit happens.
38:57
Yes, it's a car. For example, we sold.
38:59
The car we sold the WRX last. Week like if that happened two
39:01
more times to you in the same year, then there's a problem
39:03
with you, you know what I mean? But but if it's one time like.
39:06
He sold the car last week like a WRX and the car started like
39:10
jerking a little bit on the highway and the dude's like, yo,
39:13
I'm real uneasy. He bought the car back right
39:15
then and there. He we didn't have to like it.
39:17
There was nothing wrong with the.
39:19
It needed like a little tune adjustment and that's.
39:22
It yeah, dude, it was like the clutch is blown, the transit
39:24
stuck in gear. I got, I got to him like, first
39:26
of all, I don't, I, I, I don't like to talk bad about anyone,
39:29
but this dude parked in the middle of the New Jersey
39:31
Turnpike, like right by Newark airport and IKEA.
39:34
And I went there with his truck and A and a trailer and like was
39:38
going to go rescue this kid because I couldn't get anyone to
39:40
go get him. You know when when you're broken
39:44
down on a Turnpike, you can only.
39:45
Get the air people out. You have specific like like.
39:49
Boy. I mean, that's the thing that
39:51
sucks about selling cars though too.
39:53
I mean. Exactly.
39:54
That's the but if. They.
39:57
Know you're like, we're not going to.
39:59
Be 5% of our customers understand.
40:02
But what they're getting into a lot if you, if it was a if it
40:04
was like another dealer, like a a regular whatever dealer
40:08
selling it, they're like deal with it dude, get a tow.
40:10
Fuck off. Yeah, no, in paperwork you
40:13
literally. Drove him home.
40:16
Staten Island got some pizza. That's like 35.
40:22
Dollar money. It's like a $35 toll.
40:24
It was like 50 bucks, yeah, out of my pocket to go rescue that.
40:28
Car comes back and I'm like, motherfucker, dude.
40:29
I'm like, I just, you know, like I got to do them because I get
40:32
stuck doing the motor, the trans, whatever goes wrong.
40:34
You want to be daddy? Yeah, you have to take care of.
40:39
Your no, because I'm daddy. Yeah.
40:40
So I pulled the car off of it. Shit feels pretty good.
40:46
It feels good. There's like a stumble like
40:48
25103 thousand RPM, but it's a lean stumble so I'm like, it's
40:52
nothing crazy. Junior, can you adjust this?
40:55
Adjust it? Car's smooth and then no one
40:58
wants the car anymore. So it's like.
41:00
Yeah, car's perfectly fine. Now we're sitting on.
41:01
It's it's a $9900 WRX. You know what I mean?
41:05
But how do other people even know that this situation even
41:08
happened? They.
41:08
Don't know it just it just. Happened.
41:11
Maybe. In a day or two, you got time
41:12
you. Got just your car?
41:13
'S sold it now. No one like it's just sitting
41:15
now and it's like, yeah, that's great.
41:17
We lost that sail and it's like, did it really go?
41:19
I was like, John did it really. I was like, how did it feel
41:21
going on the trailer? He's like felt fine.
41:23
I was like. Yeah, maybe he just was
41:24
bullshitting. Or.
41:25
Something maybe, yeah. You don't want to blame him for
41:27
that, right? Because I do.
41:28
Listen, Yeah, he. Probably.
41:31
Was like enough. He was, he was a nice kid, like
41:33
nice guy, whatever he. But like if I'm nervous in a
41:37
car, I just broke down and I'm getting off the Turnpike.
41:40
He didn't break down, Yeah. Or yeah, first of all, yeah, he
41:43
didn't break down, dude. He put it in cruise control and
41:45
it was like, I guess it must have been resting at like 2500.
41:48
The. First thing that went in my head
41:50
is who uses cruise control #2 and then it's like.
41:53
Fuck you. Cruise control is great.
41:55
I'm a lazy and coming from somebody who's like I want I
41:59
remember this. I remember this coming from
42:01
somebody who's like, I love an automatic car.
42:04
I. Could fuck it.
42:04
Yeah, I don't care about cruise control.
42:06
He's in a manual car cruise controlling.
42:08
Like what the fuck? Yeah, I probably shouldn't be in
42:11
cruise control. Yeah, cruise control and it
42:14
landed him. I realized it landed him at the
42:17
RPM. 2700. I just started doing this and he
42:21
probably was like, what the fuck?
42:23
He just like pulled over. But then he's like the, Oh yeah,
42:25
stuck in gear. Yeah, I got in the car and
42:28
William. Clutch and shit.
42:30
Dude, it was like one of those days, like the first days where
42:32
it was like fucking 10° outside too.
42:34
And I'm over there like I'm going to have to push this kids,
42:36
this kids car up a trailer in the middle of the Turnpike
42:38
freezing my nuts off. And I got there, started the
42:41
car, put it right in first gear and just drove it right at the
42:43
trailer it. Was just a weird.
42:44
I was very, it was very odd. It was.
42:46
Just buyers, buyers remorse wait.
42:48
If they wanted to keep the car, would would they have?
42:52
I'd fix it. Yeah, I was gonna say like what
42:54
would you have fixed it? I'm sure you would.
42:55
Have because they know primes names behind it.
42:58
So I can't just be like, yeah, fuck you bro.
43:00
Yeah. So you know, cuz every car we
43:02
sell, we, we, you know, it's it's collabed with prime.
43:05
So it's like they know not all the cars like that red STI that
43:09
went to this raffle like I didn't build that car.
43:12
I I bought the car assuming it's like a nice car to sell.
43:16
Maybe did A1? Silver big turbo.
43:17
It had like, it was cool, you know?
43:19
We compression test everything. I drive everything or he drives
43:22
everything. The car was fine.
43:24
We wouldn't sell it. We wouldn't sell it.
43:26
They're like, ha ha. The park dog.
43:28
Two in three days, motherfucker. Yeah.
43:30
Right. Like we don't want to do that.
43:32
Yeah, like there's cars like I write if the car was like done
43:35
by us, like there's a car that has like there's a new 2015 WX
43:38
we have listed with a a new OEM short block clutch.
43:42
Holy shit. Holy shit.
43:44
And it's like done by Prime, tuned by us.
43:49
Buy with confidence, stand behind it like I will disclose
43:54
that. It's kind of sick though,
43:55
instead of someone having to buy a Subaru and go get work work
43:58
done by you, you can just buy the car.
44:00
And they're less than regular retail.
44:02
And it's less than regular retail.
44:04
And these guys come in and their cars are hacked to shit.
44:07
Yeah. And I was like, where did you
44:08
buy this car? And they're like, oh, I bought
44:09
it from so and so dealer how much you pay.
44:12
And they're like some astronauts.
44:14
Like what man? I was like, these guys are
44:15
fucking. It's just the thing the
44:17
difference is is they're getting.
44:18
What's hacked up on it typically like what's hacked up like what
44:22
is just the way the bork is done on it, just like bunch?
44:25
Like a lot of us back to stock shit like cars that are modded
44:28
and put back to stocking like very cheaply.
44:31
We have a good customer from down the shore who bought an an
44:34
STI from a big brand dealership and the car had a 20X in it.
44:40
I I won't say anyone's names, but they're two brothers that
44:42
come to prime. What's a 20X?
44:44
20X is like a JDM legacy or WX. Motor, he bought a 2 liter.
44:49
He bought like a 2018 STI from a dealer like a big grand story.
44:53
Yeah. And the car, These kids, yes.
44:55
He had bought a 2018. Yeah, the older one, not the one
44:59
with the blue one, the one that that has the black one that we
45:01
sold him, but prior to that black.
45:03
Car the O 4 from us. That happens all the time.
45:06
Bought a 2018 STI for like 38 grand or whatever from AA30. 8.
45:11
1000 like a manufacturer, store, dealership, a full dealership,
45:14
you know that for the 2 liters too, with.
45:16
What with what motor? What's supposed to make?
45:18
In that. EJ25EJ257 yeah, it's they put a
45:21
20X 'cause it's quad avcs so everything bolts right, plugs in
45:25
so it works. So so so the motor blew up and
45:27
then I got. Us though too, we buy cars like.
45:29
That all the time they show. Up this.
45:31
Sounds kind of fucking crazy. Guess that the dealer that
45:34
bought it, probably they did probably.
45:35
Probably didn't. They don't know a lot of it.
45:37
We don't know how many of them have come through.
45:39
The doors and. It's like we don't know it's.
45:41
Like Merry Christmas. Imagine you know Malcolm.
45:43
Imagine it's Kenneth Dealer. The remember the there's like a
45:47
black STI. We sold the Maryland car would
45:50
had a I bought it from Maryland. It came here and it had a 20X in
45:55
it and we sold it super cheap because it had a 20.
45:57
What year is this 20X? Is this a?
45:59
Common thing it's like anywhere yeah, it's super common people.
46:02
So it's like it's actually listen, we actually install a
46:05
bunch of them for customers because they're like 1000 bucks.
46:09
So if you can't imagine you have a WRX and you're in you know the
46:13
the ship blows up right spins a bearing and a new motor is to
46:18
either you know what it costs to put a new short block in a car,
46:20
or you're. Probably like 4 grand at least,
46:22
right? Just for the block, the block in
46:24
the block a four. Grand kit, Yeah.
46:25
Is it 2 or? Four 2200 dollars.
46:28
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no. So a new OEMSTI box, 2200
46:30
dollars, labor, gasket kit, studs, fluids, timing belt, all
46:35
at least 5000. You're talking like it gets
46:38
expensive, right? Yeah, 20X to 1000 bucks.
46:41
Put your fucking accessories on it and throw it in and get you
46:44
on the road. So it's actually common and it's
46:47
an option that we give. We don't supply.
46:50
Is it internal? We supply, yeah.
46:51
Yeah. But it's actually a 2 liter.
46:53
It's just a 2 liter JDM motor. So it's so you lose .5 liters
46:58
and. This is so the.
46:59
Internals are probably different.
47:00
The internals are yeah, it's it's just a higher compression
47:04
piston. It's open deck, but the heads
47:07
are almost similar to 25 STI head, like almost identical.
47:11
So you get a. Little shittier engine, but
47:13
it'll. Work.
47:13
They actually work pretty well. Like we had one guy, we had a
47:16
customer, I forgot his name, He had a blue.
47:18
It was like a blue 18 or 19 and he had blown up.
47:22
He had like spun a bearing or something like that.
47:24
I remember. I remember because he had one of
47:25
those Tamioka Racing turbos or Tapioca racing, and he had, he
47:32
had, I remember it was that and he had a like a top mount.
47:34
Yeah, yeah. And it was like an 18 STI.
47:36
And he's like, I couldn't afford AA25.
47:38
He's I was like, yeah, whatever, we'll tune it.
47:40
And the thing was, on flex fuel, it made like 4:50 on that on
47:43
that turbo. Yeah, they're not.
47:44
So it's. Fine, it's fine.
47:46
No, no, no. They fuck.
47:47
Yeah. Yeah.
47:48
Yeah, they were. I think it's a lot of times when
47:49
people buy them, they're they're they're in dire straits.
47:54
So they kind of cheap out putting it in, but if you do it
47:57
correctly they do okay sometimes.
48:00
That was good. I might put that shit in
48:02
something else. Yeah, we have a lot of people
48:04
that put it in. BRZ or some shit.
48:07
I don't know about BRZ. Because the wiring is all yeah.
48:10
I don't know shit. Fuck.
48:11
Because it's an EJ. If you don't have money, I was
48:13
telling the guys up there I was like a side quest of mine is to
48:17
do a rotated 20X and see how fast I can go.
48:20
Yeah, take it to the track. It's actually can we go nines.
48:23
You should do a YouTube video on that shit.
48:24
I think it would be cool I just need someone to.
48:26
You should come take the. I don't have anyone to do but.
48:28
You should come film this. I wonder if my brother works as
48:31
a fucking Subaru salesperson. I wonder if it's his fucking
48:34
dealer too but he wears in Philly it.
48:36
Wasn't a Subaru store. Oh, I thought that's what you
48:38
meant. Right now it was just another
48:40
after my. Yeah, they're the worst.
48:41
Yeah, they're so bad. Oh my.
48:44
Gosh, he said. Maserati.
48:48
Oh my God, there's only a couple.
48:49
Oh OK. There was one closer to my
48:51
hometown in Ramsey. That was fucking weird.
48:54
Yeah. It's there's a, there's a, we
48:56
get a lot of cars from there for like post purchase inspections
49:00
and they're just, they're bad. They're bad.
49:02
And I was like, I was like. It's crazy though, because at
49:04
the same time are. They selling Subarus I guess no
49:06
one's buying Maserati so it's. Like somebody in that fucking in
49:09
the buying in the in the acquisitions department is like,
49:12
yeah, let me let's let's try this one.
49:15
Especially when you have the wrong engine.
49:17
Dude, we had no, we had one guy that bought it.
49:19
Remember the guy that tried to have you sell his hyper blue?
49:22
The hyper blue I put together for him, He bought that for me
49:25
because he got screwed by that. And I was like, what?
49:28
Did you I've heard of I've heard of a few stories from them like
49:30
and I was. Like, what'd you pay for this?
49:32
And he was, I was like. 400,000 I was like damn.
49:35
Shut the fuck. Up.
49:36
No, no, it was like. 38 K something like that like 21 STI
49:41
but he didn't have a 20X. He we put it on the lift and
49:44
then I was like yo this whole side is bondoed.
49:48
So I I googled the VIN and I found the Copart listing of the
49:53
car just demolished. Like dude, go.
49:55
Get your money back dude. You saw the photos and
49:58
everything. Yeah, I was like, dude, I just
50:00
searched the VIN but the Carfax was clean.
50:02
Yeah. So he saw the Carfax.
50:04
No one reported the accident. Yeah, but it was already in a
50:07
yard. I have no fucking clue dude.
50:09
Yeah, what is? That word if you.
50:10
If you crash your car on the track, you can't report and you
50:13
don't report the accident like if you don't have track
50:15
insurance. It was that Copart.
50:16
But it was that, yeah. But if you send, if the car is
50:18
just a total loss and you send it away, I'm sure Copart I.
50:20
Think it was a total loss. It might have just been a clean
50:22
title still. Fuck, I don't know, dude.
50:24
I have no idea. And I was like, dude, get your
50:26
money back. And he did.
50:27
And he's like, he's like, you have any car?
50:29
I was like, I'll sell you. I'm like for what you paid them,
50:31
I'll I'll sell you a car. I'll put up a fucking IG motor,
50:34
everything that's crazy. And he's like, I was like, he's
50:36
like, what do you have? I'm like look around, take a
50:37
pic. He's like, I like that hyper
50:39
blue. And I put that hyper blue
50:41
together for him with like an IG motor and whatever.
50:43
And I was like. Damn, that's kind of sick.
50:45
Yeah, it's nice. Car was nice.
50:47
How does how does it work like because that car was at a Co
50:50
part lot I'm sure. Have you you guys bought car
50:53
from Co part? I've never bought from Co.
50:55
Part Yeah, we don't really. I was.
50:56
Really hoping because I know you guys would have gave it to me
50:59
direct like how do you do that? Why does it when somebody
51:02
acquires it from there, what makes it so that they acquire
51:05
paperwork for the thing and to do the thing and.
51:08
Register you could salvage title a car like you could, you could
51:12
fix it and still title the car, Yeah.
51:15
And then register and insure it just like.
51:17
We. Might be a rebuilt title.
51:18
So Co parts. Yeah, it says salvage on the
51:20
title or? Rebuild.
51:21
Or whatever the IS, is a phone. What say it?
51:26
Louder the IS is a little but dude, that thing's a piece of.
51:30
I literally use it to drift. It wasn't important.
51:33
To me, of course. We bought rather nice.
51:35
We did a little ghetto fabulous thing like a year ago.
51:37
We bought like a Range Rover that we were going to share and.
51:41
First of all, sharing was. It ghetto.
51:44
The the first one not, not the one I'm driving, No, I don't
51:47
know. You missed the diesel one.
51:48
I'm like, fucking good car. You know how I feel about the
51:51
diesel range. I.
51:52
Was like, that's not ghetto at all.
51:53
Diesel. Range Rover is my absolute.
51:54
So I'm gonna tell you you're gonna.
51:55
Sell me, I'm gonna give it to. You.
51:57
Because we told me. About it on his part let me give
51:58
Let me give you exactly how Co pardon all these you have info
52:02
OK, let's. Do.
52:05
I do have info. So you either, you're either a
52:07
dismantler and you buy a crashed car, let's say an STI to part
52:10
out, which I know people that do and I buy parts from them to put
52:12
cars back together, etcetera. Yeah.
52:14
And that that's all that's normal legit business.
52:18
The other thing is the cars with the bad titles, they go
52:22
overseas. If you ever bid on, I've bid on
52:25
Copart. I've like watched, sat in and
52:27
I've looked. It's Ukraine.
52:30
It's Georgia. It's Africa, It's Panama.
52:35
Russia. But yeah, Russia's mostly
52:38
through Ukraine or Georgia. It's the gateway.
52:39
They will. I don't think they'll, I don't,
52:41
I'm not sure, but a lot of a lot of those cars that go Ukraine.
52:45
And Georgia? Something like that too.
52:48
There's so we huge money. So I had realized this and I'm
52:52
like, oh, I like this. This is interesting.
52:56
I was like, yo, look at this range.
52:58
It was a 21 or 20 Range Rover. 2020 with like 26,000 miles on.
53:02
It this is the Diesel 1. No no no, Diesel 1's my baby.
53:05
I can't wait until this shit is. Hot.
53:08
I was like, yo, we're going to buy this and I'm like, we're
53:10
going to ship it to Greece because there's no Carfax there.
53:12
It's like clean slate. And you know it it it says on
53:16
the list because it tells you on the list if it runs and drives.
53:19
So it ran and drove. It just didn't run and drive for
53:21
long because the the IT would never hold the charge.
53:25
We cleaned it. Was a flood car.
53:26
It was a flood car. OK.
53:28
The car was nice. A flood Range Rover.
53:30
So thinking about the electric, Yeah, I'm not even.
53:33
Thinking about the. Amount of the electronics it's
53:37
probably insane. Correct, but.
53:40
I almost died for that car. There was a time, there was a
53:43
time in the world where there was men, young boys that left
53:47
their homes and went to conquer faraway lands.
53:51
And if you don't take a fucking chance, you might not.
53:54
You don't. You don't know.
53:55
Look at that Volvo. You got to take chances.
53:57
It's a range, yeah. But they set that same car in
54:03
Europe sells for like €100,000. So like.
54:07
This car like we buy for like 20 K it's like buy it now 24,000
54:12
something like that. I was like we fix it whatever it
54:17
needs. You know check the wire.
54:20
It might be something stupid. It says runs and drives.
54:22
It ran and drove. I didn't know that there was
54:24
going to have so many like little gremlins, but I kind of
54:27
want I was like let's see you never know.
54:28
It was worst case sent back. It was fucking.
54:31
Beautiful. And it ran and drove.
54:34
It just would never hold the charge.
54:35
And it had a brand new alternator and we fixed all the
54:38
grounds that were corroded and all the fucking modules and all
54:41
this shit. It just never held the charge.
54:44
It would run for like an hour and then eventually the battery
54:46
would would the the alternator would charge and then they would
54:49
decide not to charge anymore. Do you remember what it was?
54:52
It was. We never figured it out.
54:54
Oh damn it. Should we tell him what?
54:55
How? We got really lucky on that.
54:57
Car get to that on that car. So we did get very we're like,
55:00
yo, we're stuck with this fucking car like you.
55:02
Spent just. Dollars on this shit.
55:03
So I was like this is the worst right here, worst case scenario.
55:06
Can't even send it back. I was like, but I'm like looking
55:09
at it and I was like, yo, we never got the title for this car
55:13
to have 30 days to give a title. It was like 100 days had passed.
55:18
I was like start arbitration process.
55:21
What does that mean? Arbitration is like the send
55:24
back, like warranty, like claim like you didn't get the title.
55:27
It's time to you know, you get your money back, you get your
55:30
money back, you get your fees back, you get your shipping
55:32
back, you get whatever money you put.
55:33
In because they failed to deliver on that.
55:36
And that's how we. All those, all those, all that
55:38
dealer had. To do is send.
55:39
Us the title, yeah. Really.
55:41
Yeah. Because now the.
55:42
Thing is, they never got paid. You don't get paid unless you
55:44
send the title, so they never got paid for the car.
55:48
Someone fucked up on their end somewhere.
55:52
Or or they're just a title never existed, so who knows.
55:56
But I was originally thinking I was like, yo, all these cars on
55:58
Copart and shit, they go to Ukraine, they go to Georgia,
56:01
they go to all these fucking far away places and they get wiped
56:04
clean. It's like if we can get this car
56:06
and we find an in there and we get it running good.
56:10
It's life is new over there. They don't there's no whatever.
56:14
I was like we can I'm like and if if these cars are selling for
56:16
like 90100K and we go there and be like, yo dude, give us 70.
56:20
Yeah, he's a nice you. Do not have to talk to me.
56:23
I'm following the business model to AT right now.
56:25
I tried it didn't work. Damn it, I'm sure it can for
56:28
someone. It can, it can we also we looked
56:30
into like the tax process in Greece.
56:33
We were like. The reason we chose Greece is
56:35
because we're Greek, so there's like people there that we could
56:37
be like, hey, you know, like, can I talk?
56:39
To a friend. We'll pick up this car.
56:42
Hey. You like anal sex and it's like.
56:44
Wait, what? Yeah.
56:46
Greeks love anal sex. Greeks invented anal sex.
56:48
Really. Yes, with boys.
56:50
No. What's a what's a Greek food
56:53
there if I would a Greek salad Greek.
56:56
Yeah, Greek salad isn't is not Greek.
56:59
In Greece, there's no lettuce. I dude, that's why I was
57:01
hesitant. I was literally so.
57:03
Hesitant to say. Lettuce Lettuce Koriati is is is
57:07
tomatoes, cucumbers, pepper, bell pepper, capers, feta
57:13
cheese. OK, there we go.
57:14
As long as it has the fettle then I'm I'm in it and onion I
57:16
fuck with the feta. Cheese and olive oil and that
57:19
shit is the best. That sounds delicious.
57:21
Yeah, lettuce is kind of. Pointless.
57:22
Lettuce is so crunchy. Water, yeah.
57:24
I was so hesitant to say Greek salad because I was like, that's
57:28
definitely not Greek because it's called Greek salad.
57:31
Yeah, no, it's like Caesar salad isn't.
57:34
Why the fuck then? Why the?
57:35
Why do we call it that then? Like I've been, I don't know
57:38
what. You didn't know you know where
57:39
Caesar salad was invented. It's.
57:41
Here somewhere. I think it's Mexico.
57:43
This guy named Caesar. Can we take it to the web?
57:45
Yeah, take it to the web. Yeah, guy named.
57:48
Caesar. Well fuck.
57:49
Invented Caesar salad. Yeah, this is.
57:52
This is interesting. And if it's.
57:53
Tijuana. That's still Mexico.
57:55
Or is it? Like Tijuana, San Diego.
57:57
Tijuana, Mexico. You're a wealth of.
58:00
Nothing by Italian American. That was impressive as fuck.
58:02
By Italian American restaurant Cesar Cardini he.
58:06
Was not fucking Italian sing flag.
58:08
I fuck with a Caesar. Crazy.
58:10
When was the last time you fucking had a Caesar sound?
58:12
I don't remember the last time I had a Caesar.
58:13
Sound like yesterday? I really can't.
58:15
Swear you. Know Caesar salad fucks if you
58:18
have like the traditional Caesar salad with the anchovies.
58:21
It has the. Yeah, it has.
58:22
The fucking shit, It hits you in the face really hard.
58:25
Yeah, like that I. Fuck with that fucking salt.
58:28
It's so good, Oh my God. And a good crouton.
58:30
I fucking love Crouton. Crouton.
58:32
Fuck, you need a good crouton. So you guys going to get another
58:35
car and try this out again or what?
58:36
20X swap. No swap.
58:38
Are you talking about export? No, no, no, I'm done.
58:40
I'm done trying to be scummy. What about different country?
58:43
Different country getting out of it.
58:44
And we're not. I don't want to.
58:45
Do it, but it's not even really scummy.
58:47
It's not, but it. Could get a good.
58:48
Car with a good car and make money yeah I my biggest like I
58:52
was like let's pump the brakes a little bit is it's 26% sales tax
58:56
on what the car is worth when it gets there and guess it dictates
59:01
the value of the car. The guy that fucking checks.
59:03
It in the port. Yeah, yeah.
59:05
So 26% of 100K is. 26 G's. OK, but if you sell the car for
59:09
75, it's a nice little fucking come up.
59:11
I was gonna say you can't roll that into your ROI there.
59:14
No, you can. You can if you buy the car for
59:16
you. Don't know what they're gonna
59:17
do. Yeah, and also like what happens
59:20
when the car doesn't show up? Like a natural disaster.
59:25
Insurance, dude. Yeah.
59:27
You're scared of that. That's why you're such a P word.
59:30
Yeah, P word as he puts a fucking Knick knack into his
59:34
mouth. I just love that he wouldn't say
59:36
pussy, but he would say some crazy shit two weeks ago.
59:38

59:43

1:01:06
Put keep your car here. Because you used to.
1:01:08
There was a moment where you had a lot of fucking cars there.
1:01:11

1:01:13
that building was the worst thing ever come up.
1:01:16
Just killed us. Dmitri's got a story about John.

Now it makes sense. So we get there and we we forgot
1:02:22
just of everything. It was just, you know, like
1:02:25
everyone getting settled in and whatever.
1:02:26
And he walks out of the bathroom, you know, completely
1:02:30

Unrolled. The condom perfectly and he
1:02:35
walked out of the bathroom without any spillage whatsoever,
1:02:38
holding this monster like. This thing so fucking funny.
1:02:42
From the top, like the like the iceberg that sunk the Titanic
1:02:47

1:04:03
How much smoke it would blow up when you.

Get up the car was black but like it would just because those
1:04:09
FSI motors run super rich and they just piss fuel out of the.
1:04:12
Back at the time because no one really.
1:04:14
Did no one? Yeah.
1:04:15
Yeah, because we were talking about back then with cars and we

crazy fast. Fast, yeah.
1:04:22
So 500 was insane. Car was vast.
1:04:24
I don't like it, just never hooked.
1:04:26
Yeah, you'd have to be going. You'd have to be in 3rd gear to

1:05:08
I remember. Them graciously pull up a mark
1:05:10

1:05:12
I do remember that all the German like the Volkswagens were
1:05:15
fast as fuck back then. Like I don't know why but.
1:05:17
That was like that time, that era.
1:05:19
Was one. Is VR6 turbo?
1:05:20
It was. He was like, yeah.
1:05:23
Fucking perfect. Yeah.
1:05:25
Males looking at a fucking mark for you.
1:05:28
I would, I would love to own that.
1:05:30
That looks great. I would love to own that car
1:05:32
right now. Yeah, dude, yeah.
1:05:33
That looks so. Badass doesn't fit in those
1:05:36
things anymore. Time.
1:05:36
For me, Oh yeah, I'm in there. Type in red 2004 Audi S4.
1:05:42
Dude, you know what's nice about those?
1:05:43
If you close the door on any German car, it's like the most.
1:05:45
I hate that feeling. It's like oof I hate German
1:05:48
cars. Yeah, that third picture, Ryan
1:05:49
Friedman, that car is fucking perfection.
1:05:53
My. God.
1:05:54
I like the B5 more than the B6. Dude I like the B5.
1:05:58
So listen, I've owned AB5HE owned AB six, I've owned the
1:06:02
B7AB8. I've done B6 and B8.
1:06:05
I had AB 5 but it was a turd. My B5 was nice.
1:06:09
I like B5. I had a Nagaro on Nagaro
1:06:11
Alcantara B5 S 4 that I purchased from Adam.
1:06:14
The kid that we talked about earlier.
1:06:17
That car was sick. Had like 60,000 miles on it.
1:06:20
Fully built, 3 liters upgraded turbos.
1:06:22
That's amazing. When you're like 17 is oh, you
1:06:27
were odd tier. Oh yeah, you were.
1:06:29
Probably. The guy like the recaro's?
1:06:32
I mean the B7 didn't even exist when he got that.
1:06:35
So yeah, so it was. Like just coming out.
1:06:37
No, it'd just come out. I couldn't afford it.
1:06:39
I bought mine used but it was like a.
1:06:41
Can you get the rear photo amalgam This is I'm going to
1:06:43
tell you why I don't. I don't like the BB.
1:06:45
I only like the B5 for one reason over this.
1:06:48
Remember this. It's because of the little
1:06:49
indent the B5 had. The B5 is hot, B5 is.
1:06:53
Such a good looking that's it. But but I'm sure this is
1:06:56
probably significant light years ahead.
1:06:59
For me, when I was like when it came out, it was just like what
1:07:03
the fuck? This is insane.
1:07:04
What? Was it?
1:07:04
What was it that? 42V8.
1:07:06
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like, I know it's not.
1:07:09
It wasn't tunable. Like people were like, oh,
1:07:10
before it's better 'cause you could put chip and dump and she
1:07:12
grew like, yeah, but it's like, dude, yeah.
1:07:14
But it was like a fucking V8 net.
1:07:15
He had, yeah, at one point his car was straight piped and we
1:07:18
called it the fuck trumpet, bro. It was the loud actually on this
1:07:23
block right here, used to just rape these buildings.
1:07:26
Like that noise that would come off of that car on this street
1:07:29
right here. Oh my God.
1:07:30
Why your Volkswagen's also the fucking loudest dude at the
1:07:33
party I swear to. God 90 horse.
1:07:37
Loudest cars ever when you take the muffle.
1:07:40
Oh good. Which one?
1:07:41
Which one? Which Audi is the is the wide
1:07:43

Yeah, very nice. I like when they do the RS4
1:08:04
conversions on the B5 sedans. Dude, B5B. 5RS4 sedan, yes.
1:08:13
Maybe that's what I'm thinking of.
1:08:15
That car is they never made them.
1:08:17
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:08:19
Yeah, yeah, that's that's a pretty ass car.
1:08:21
I think, yeah, I think that's more like what I'm thinking of
1:08:23
is there. Is there a rendition of that car
1:08:25
that's reliable to this day right here?
1:08:27
The any of the two of one day if you whatever.
1:08:30

1:08:44
listening to that is so mad Subaru if you put AG25 in it
1:08:49

1:08:55
in there cuz I have to pull the motor to do everything.
1:08:57

1:08:58
The the two sevens are like a nightmare for me.
1:09:00
They're mounted like right up. They're like fucking pull.
1:09:03
The motor you do KO fours, you'll make 400 horsepower.
1:09:06
Wow. That was a big, that was a lot.
1:09:08
That was a. Lot.
1:09:09
Like you do that an STI with fucking a tune, Yeah, and it
1:09:13
won't fucking. There's not one of those that
1:09:17
has like 1 of the normie. One of the normie models that is
1:09:21
reliable. I feel like I see a.
1:09:22
B5A4180 is decent reliable. The two AV 6. 2 AV 6 is reliable
1:09:29

He's sitting there the whole time, regrettably, like I
1:14:15
fucking tell him I. Don't even care anymore, but I
1:14:17
know I could. I could probably think about
1:14:19
things to talk about for him too 'cause I was doing so around.
1:14:21
Doing it, I have to let one out. Do it.
1:14:23
I don't think he'd be embarrassed by anything.
1:14:25
I don't care. No, there's nothing.
1:14:27
I don't care, I'm married. He already talked about the
1:14:29
horse. I'm married, I'm married.

Someones gonna dive into it. You want me to be the guy?
1:15:13
We don't know. We haven't had this happen yet,
1:15:15

I was like, if somebody fucking clipped anything we talk about
1:15:19
on here, it'd be fucked. You mean like and post it?
1:15:22

1:15:25
No, he didn't do anything. I mean.
1:15:27
There's some shit, but no. Didn't do anything really wrong.
1:15:29
The outside looking in it's it's pretty bad, but on the inside
1:15:33
looking out it's like it was. Fate, yeah.
1:15:37
It's all awesome. I've known his wife for as long
1:15:39
as he's known his wife too, so I won't talk about how they got
1:15:41
oh. I think you were talking.
1:15:42
About that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:15:43
Leave my kids alone. So anyway, so.
1:15:45
Anyway, you're watching. Yeah, we, my brother, my brother
1:15:49
worked at a restaurant in Hoboken for like 15 years before
1:15:53
venturing out to open his own. And it just happened to be
1:15:56
around the same time that I was like, trying to figure out what
1:15:58
the fuck I was going to do for my life.
1:16:00
So I opened the first one with him in 2010 in Jersey City
1:16:05
called the Hamilton Inn. And then, you know, we just
1:16:08
continue to work and grind and grow.
1:16:11
And you know, we opened the second Hamilton Pork and then we
1:16:15
opened the 3rd called Chickies, which is an Italian place.
1:16:20
And a lot of fucking restaurants.
1:16:21
Then three restaurants in Jersey City.
1:16:23
Then we we have a management group that operates Hudson Hall
1:16:26
in Jersey City. It's a big sports bar, OK.
1:16:28
And then we are a little partner at a place in Tarrytown, NY.
1:16:34
I feel like I've been in Hudson Hall.
1:16:35
I don't know when or why I would have been there.
1:16:38
For Jameson and Ginger. Maybe, but I do love Jameson
1:16:41
Ginger else you're. Filipino, everyone.
1:16:43
Every Filipino does. Easy, easy.

1:16:52
Silver Forerunner is crazy. Malcolm's half Filipino Gars
1:16:56
silver forerunner that's. Crazy.
1:16:57
Listen, there's. The Jameson Ginger Ale is a good
1:17:00
drink. Jameson Ginger's fine dude.
1:17:02
Great drink. There's generalizations out
1:17:04
there and and stereotypes that just happens to be a really
1:17:06
funny 1. Filipinos love Jameson and
1:17:08
Ginger. Not wrong with it.
1:17:09
Fucking love it. I don't fucking know.
1:17:11
This is. It dude stereotypes are mostly.
1:17:14
True Greeks love Marlboro Reds. We would probably love one right
1:17:17
there. I would love.
1:17:18
One right now, yeah. I would love I've been.
1:17:20
Trying to get Frankie a lot of smoke in here, but he does.
1:17:22
Yeah, we gotta get a fan in this bitch.
1:17:24
Dude, what is? There's what I got, a cigar shop
1:17:26
humidifier. I mean, landlord already
1:17:28
approved it, he said. If we get a fan in here.
1:17:30
Smoke in here. But if we get like 'cause I'm
1:17:32
not trying. To.
1:17:34
Dude, we used to fuck it. They would come in for the rent.
1:17:37
We'd all be like in that little box.
1:17:38
Yeah, they're playing. Oh my God, I forgot about that
1:17:41
little box. Just.
1:17:42
Yeah, here's rent. Yeah, dude, here we.
1:17:44
Go what about if we each had like a little thing that you
1:17:47
would keep like ashtray fire, But like no, dude, we got a
1:17:51
fucking. Fan in here.
1:17:52
That just sucks it. All you know, do you know it
1:17:54
would it would be like it would give this place such a mystique
1:17:58
to have that like lingering cigarette smell.
1:18:01
Like a cigar lounge, it's. Not even just that, it's just my
1:18:04
ability and the amount of times that I've had this experience.
1:18:07
I smoke. You go outside of a venue.
1:18:10
The other day it happened, I took my dad to like an Eagles,
1:18:14
like a cover band concert. It's like intermission.
1:18:17
You go outside, you have a cigarette, you talk to people,
1:18:20
Yeah. Yeah.
1:18:21
You talk to people because the cigarette was a.
1:18:22
Conversation piece. Yes, it's the best thing for
1:18:25
socialization. Imagine right?
1:18:27
Now so miserable now. Smoke a cigarette, talk, ash it
1:18:30
out. Maybe in a few minutes I'll
1:18:32
light up another one. I.
1:18:33
Love Dmitry's logic like everyone just needs to start
1:18:35
smoking cigarettes again. That's.
1:18:36
How we fix but it's. True.
1:18:38
Once they got rid of all the and no one smokes, like you used to
1:18:40
go outside and you'd talk to Pete, you'd smoke and be like,
1:18:43
hey, what's up? Like you just talk to random
1:18:45
people. Sometimes you talk to a girl and
1:18:47
it's like light her up and it's just like.
1:18:49
Like dude that out because I didn't have a lighter.
1:18:52
The risk of letting a girl's cigar.
1:18:54
When you're like, dude. Like I I had no lighter.
1:18:58
The lady I spoke to had a lighter.
1:19:00
And now she's your wife. And now I I love her.
1:19:03
I love her, yes. Not exactly.
1:19:04
It's just such an amazing tool and it's just ruined.
1:19:07
A great. Time.
1:19:08
Now you vape. Well, we talk about this all the
1:19:10
time, like you guys don't feel this in this industry.
1:19:13
Like right, I don't feel this in Soapbox or Gearbox, but I feel
1:19:16
this in the restaurants. No one goes out anymore.
1:19:19
What are you talking? About like in general booze is
1:19:22
down like 70% in our places since really.
1:19:26
I was actually talking to Lynn about this the other day because
1:19:29
she's like the diner is not open anymore.
1:19:31
Obviously, like we've spoken about, I grew up in the diner.
1:19:34
I'd work nights a lot of times and there were bar crowds.
1:19:37
So it was busy. I'm mad about that shit bro.
1:19:39
That was the that was the spot. Diners are mine diner.
1:19:42
I can't. Believe we could go new.
1:19:43
Jersey there's no more like. Waiters.
1:19:45
I have so many diners. 100 places to choose from. 10
1:19:49
readers. That was the top five best
1:19:51
things about New Jersey. Yes, like, dude, you'd get out
1:19:54
of the diner, 2:00, you'd, you'd get out of the bar, 2:00, you'd
1:19:58
be a buzz. You'd go there, you'd get a
1:20:00
fucking disco fry something, Yeah.
1:20:04
Mozzarella sticks like boneless. Wings give me.
1:20:07
You go home and you got your Dick sucked, yeah?
1:20:10
Now never happened for me. Yeah, it happened for me a bunch
1:20:13
of times. But I'm just saying, yeah.
1:20:14
Now they don't go out to drink, therefore they don't meet girls
1:20:19
or guys or whatever the fuck they're doing people.
1:20:21
Are doing they go home and they buy fucking only fans and they
1:20:23
just beat their meat. They have the only fans.
1:20:25
They have those virtual. Things where they here's.
1:20:27
What they really do, though, here's what the brunt of what
1:20:30
they do is. They go onto their phone, they
1:20:32
open up Tinder. Hey, do you want to come over?
1:20:34
They order a pizza and they Netflix and they smoke weed and
1:20:38
get their Dick sucked. It's true that.
1:20:39
Sounds like a great afternoon. Yeah, actually not as good.
1:20:41
As going out not as good as going to the bar.
1:20:43
It's like, that's like supplemental income.
1:20:45
That's like, that's a good addition to being able to like
1:20:47
go out and experience life, but it isn't life.
1:20:50
It is not life. It is not life.
1:20:51
There's a different experience for life.
1:20:53
That's strictly for play like that's that's that's if you that
1:20:56
you want to do great. 2000s was peak civilization, the problem
1:21:00
of humanity. I agree.
1:21:01
The cars, the social, the everything.
1:21:05
Everything. I I agree because going out
1:21:07
right now, like I dude, if I went out right now, I would feel
1:21:10
like an old man. I don't know.
1:21:13
Oh. Yeah, I can't hang at all.
1:21:14
Yeah, no, we were talking about that yesterday.
1:21:16
It's not it's not the drinking part.
1:21:17
We could sit around this table right now and bang through a
1:21:19
bottle of whiskey. That sounds great, but if it's
1:21:21
comes to like being around that crowd, dude, I wouldn't know
1:21:25
what the fuck to do. Dude, we used to go to remember,
1:21:28
we used to go to Clifton Ave. Dunkin' Donuts.
1:21:31
Were you there? No, you were in the restaurants
1:21:33
at that point and we would sit there till like 4:00 in the
1:21:36
morning, Dunkin' Donuts, drinking coffee and.
1:21:40
Going outside, that was my, that was my high school experience.
1:21:43
Yeah, yeah, we, we had Starbucks Edgewater, like a lot.
1:21:46
When I was kidding, that was about.
1:21:47
That yeah, Starbucks Edgewater in like 07 to 2010 was like
1:21:51
probably one of the best times to be alive.
1:21:53
Wait, 'cause that really was it 20?
1:21:55
It's 24 hours. Was it 24?
1:21:57
Hours. It was 24 hours, Starbucks.
1:21:59
I think I've been in there before actually, because it was
1:22:03
24 hours, there wasn't a lot of 24 hours.
1:22:05
Over the road. Sit there outside, Yeah, in the
1:22:07
summertime till like, I mean 3-4 in.
1:22:10
The morning, yeah. Pretty sick because there's a
1:22:11
lot of bars in Fort Lee. You would just fucking we.
1:22:13
Weren't we weren't even drinking like we were drinking.
1:22:16
Fucking a coffee like a fucking cake pop and like.
1:22:20
Looking for a street race at like 1:00 in the morning, Yeah.
1:22:22
You literally could go there like at 7 and be like, yeah,
1:22:25
well, let's just go hang out for a couple hours and you'd be
1:22:26
going home at 2:00 in the morning, Yeah.
1:22:28
And you're like such a good. But it was like time.
1:22:30
Yeah, it was real Socializing. Yeah, like real.
1:22:33
You made we made friends for literally life.
1:22:35
That's why we know each time talking about.
1:22:37
Just like the dude Adam Sasso basically met because of that.
1:22:40
Yeah, dude, that was. Alex ow that?
1:22:43
Shit was crazy man. I don't talk to Alex OW anymore,
1:22:45
but. That that would have.
1:22:47
Been peak Edgewater was like. I was gonna say that that would
1:22:49
have been like a arrow where it's like the peak of that era
1:22:53
like that was like the epitome of what you could I'm.
1:22:55
Glad it happened, like I'm glad I'm old enough to where I've
1:22:58
experienced it. Like a lot of these kids never
1:23:00
know dude, I was thinking. About the other day, I was like,
1:23:03
there's kids that were in high school during COVID, Yeah.
1:23:07
And I'd never really think about it.
1:23:08
But then we were talking. My friend Nico was here the
1:23:11
other day and we were like, he has photos of every fucking year
1:23:14
from 2007. And I'm like, bro, I don't even
1:23:17
want to see some of this shit, but like, it brings you back and
1:23:19
you have flashbacks. You're like, fuck, I remember
1:23:21
that room. Like, I remember this.
1:23:22
I remember. And then I'm looking at all of
1:23:24
it and I'm like some crazy shit that went down.
1:23:27
Back then I was telling Malcolm I'm like, dude, there people
1:23:29
were having like, orgies, like 16 years old and shit in this
1:23:32
girl's basement. I'm like, this is insane.
1:23:34
Fuck yeah. And then I'm like, and then I'm
1:23:36
like, bro, what did kids do in high school when COVID?
1:23:39
They just sat at home. They weren't allowed to do
1:23:41
anything. I'm like this can kind of whack.
1:23:44
We all know I was. Trying to figure out where the
1:23:46
hell I was like what are we? Talking.
1:23:48
About this fucking by design, by trying to keep us down.
1:23:51
Yeah, we're having too much fun, but.
1:23:53
I'm just like, damn that that's fucking crazy.
1:23:55
Like, I mean, now, now Covid's over, so I don't know what
1:23:57
people are doing. Covid's not over though for so
1:23:59
many fucking people. I know a.
1:24:01
Lot of people lingering effects of.
1:24:02
COVID like the. Not even that, just like walking
1:24:05
around like Jersey City and see people like wearing masks still
1:24:08
that don't have. I would never talk about anyone
1:24:10
that has like a real illness or anything like that.
1:24:12
Just like a mental illness like. Yeah, I've seen that.
1:24:15
They're still like, social distancing.
1:24:17
Yeah, yeah. 6 feet away like. I think, I think what?
1:24:21
I think the government just wanted us to wash our hands
1:24:23
more. Dude, that was like the fucking
1:24:26
awakening for a lot of people to be like, oh, maybe I should wash
1:24:28
my hands. Nah, such a simple fucking
1:24:31
function. It was like, OK, yeah.
1:24:33
No, no, no. They wanted to increase, they
1:24:36
wanted to increase sales of toilet paper.
1:24:38
They want you to sit home and not do anything and order.
1:24:42
Stuff be Dumber. That's really Dumber and Dumber
1:24:44
they. Just spent money on bullshit
1:24:47
that's just. Made everyone a fucking retard
1:24:49
because the. Corporation.
1:24:50
The corporation fucking mate, they they were living it up.
1:24:54
Dude, I was on the Amazon, Yeah, and you just see Amazon.
1:24:58
Yeah, and all the all the small businesses were just getting
1:25:00
wiped out day after day. Oh dude, it was crazy.
1:25:03
Yeah, it's fuck. It was super bad.
1:25:04
I just heard that Liz, Amazon's gonna start doing alignments and
1:25:07
drift cards. Like, yeah.
1:25:11
They got a new logo. It's a grim Reaper and
1:25:13
everything. They're gonna start detailing
1:25:14
cars too, so. Fuck.
1:25:16
Shit. They're gonna start selling
1:25:19
cars. That's a.
1:25:20
That's a. Fact.
1:25:20
Yeah, that. Amazon's gonna sell cars that
1:25:23
makes. Sense.
1:25:24
OK, I mean that. That won't ever.
1:25:26
At that point. What we do is so yeah, niche
1:25:29
that it won't ever be able to. Don't it.
1:25:31
Don't ever, ever. But.
1:25:32
Who's gonna do it? Like new cars, maybe New cars.
1:25:35
New cars. Yeah.
1:25:35
Like the Tesla model, right. Like, you know, there's no
1:25:39
bargain. Like, I would rather get shot in
1:25:41
the forehead than buy a Tesla brand new.
1:25:44
But you, you there's there's something to be said about the
1:25:47
the ease of it. Yeah.
1:25:49
You're not like going back and forth.
1:25:51
There's no fucking games involved.
1:25:53
But is this part of the problem? I actually part of the problem?
1:25:56
Are you trying to sell? Me on this right?
1:25:58
Now, no, if you go buy a Tesla, I'm going to call you a three
1:25:59
letter word. I went.
1:26:02
I I went to Tesla dealer. I actually picked up JJ who owns
1:26:06
IG. He's like I'm he's like, I'm
1:26:09
buying a Model S in on the one on route 17 by you.
1:26:12
Can you pick me up from the train station and I'm like, fuck
1:26:14
yeah, let's go pick him up. We go.
1:26:16
And I was like, damn, dude, this was like painless.
1:26:20
It's like it's easier than getting a fucking cell phone.
1:26:22
It's. The same process of of getting
1:26:24
an iPhone, well, that's. Kind of how shabby.
1:26:26
It was a pain in the Dick for me to get an iPhone.
1:26:28
The other. Way I was like, dude, I kind of
1:26:29
I like. This what made it good.
1:26:32
I need to better. Walk through Tesla's website to
1:26:35
like buy a car. No, there's zero bullshit.
1:26:38
It's not like Tesla and Paramus is going to be cheaper than
1:26:41
Tesla's Tesla and Summit. Oh, they're all Yeah.
1:26:43
Yeah. What?
1:26:45
It is. It is $340 a month to lease a
1:26:47
Tesla model. It's.
1:26:48
Like going on apple.com? Yes, trying to buy iPhone.
1:26:50
He's like, hey, sign here, done, done.
1:26:53
Credit cards outside waiting. The guy's like here, do this,
1:26:56
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And he's like, OK, let's go get
1:26:58
Shake Shack. It was like 10 minutes.
1:26:59
It comes with this. And it comes with a like a a
1:27:01
venti soy milk latte when you get one.
1:27:03
Are you for real? No bro, you got me for a minute
1:27:06
'cause I. Would've believed.
1:27:07
You but dude, it's like I was like, yo, this is how it kind of
1:27:10
should be. It is.
1:27:11
It really is. Like, well, that kind.
1:27:12
Of July's cost for Let's Look no.
1:27:15
Games. Yeah.
1:27:15
No, no bullshit. No $50,000 over for AG 63 at a
1:27:19
Mercedes I was gonna use. Something like that as an
1:27:22
example. That's annoying.
1:27:23
That's just stop playing games. Stop playing games if.
1:27:25
Someone's buying a $250,000 truck from your dealership, you
1:27:28
really have to bang them for an extra 50.
1:27:29
Even then, though, your Mercedes is different.
1:27:32
So who is it? Who is it then?
1:27:33
Toyota. Toyota's the worst.
1:27:35
They fake. They fake the.
1:27:38
They fake the the. MSRP No.
1:27:41
They do it though the like they're oh, this is yeah.
1:27:45
So they they only give you like I remember what happened with
1:27:48
the Sequoia when it came out, the new Sequoia.
1:27:50
Fuck not the fucking everything I loved has been.
1:27:54
Mentioned. Everything, everything I loved
1:27:58
has. Been mentioned.
1:28:00
It is bad. It's bad.
1:28:03
But they fake the demand, and so they.
1:28:05
Well, that was a horrible trouble they limit.
1:28:06
How much goes out and they're like, oh, you know, there's so
1:28:10
much such a hot commodity. So we're going to mark it up
1:28:12
like crazy money. And you're like, yo, this is the
1:28:14
question. Be 100K.
1:28:16
But then, but then OK, who? Who should dictate the
1:28:19
centralized? The problem is we.
1:28:21
No, there's no. It's the dealership that should
1:28:23
we. Dictate it by paying it.
1:28:26
Yeah, people are paying. If people boycotted G wagons, no
1:28:28
one's paying 50K over. Yeah, I've never seen as many G
1:28:31
wagons as I could as I. Didn't.
1:28:33
Know there's. So many in Japan, I don't know
1:28:35
why it's. Easy.
1:28:36
It's yeah, I got a loophole. I have a friend that paid 360
1:28:38
for one. Oh yeah, cuz of the weight or
1:28:40
some shit idiot. 363 is that is it the one Goldstein was
1:28:44
selling? I do.
1:28:45
The one brand new, one a brand new.
1:28:47
Math. That's the only reason I have
1:28:48
that Raptor. But during COVID craziness like
1:28:51
when you. Couldn't get a car my taxes.
1:28:52
Yeah. It's and Trump, though.
1:28:55
The one good thing Trump did was reintroduce the 100% because it
1:28:58
was getting phased out. OK, so now it's you.
1:29:01
You you write the whole thing off 100%.
1:29:04
Versus you can't write first year.
1:29:06
Versus if it's under a certain weight, you can't write the
1:29:08
under. 6 unless it's a Unless it's a lease, No, you could
1:29:11
write 100. Percent lease lease.
1:29:13
You can lease it with no money down and you can write the 100%
1:29:17
of the MSRP off your off your income.
1:29:19
You could, but you could also lease something under 6000 lbs.
1:29:22
Write the lease. Money to buy it.
1:29:24
You can, but then there's more if you get audited, there's more
1:29:27
you you really got to like show proof that it's used for
1:29:29
business. So like you can go get like a
1:29:32
new, I don't know what's like a new, like a new Z right And like
1:29:36
Don it out and faction stuff and drift it and then you can write
1:29:40
it off. But if you do get audited, you
1:29:42
got to like really show that whatever, but it's a truck is
1:29:46
more on the believable side you. Write it, you know.
1:29:50
You're using it as like tow and fucking payload.
1:29:52
Yeah. But I just figured you could
1:29:53
write off 100% of it either way if you're using it for business,
1:29:57
not depending on the weight, but you're saying.
1:30:00
But I'm saying like you can, there's more hoops to jump
1:30:03
through with it, but for anything over. 6000 lbs.
1:30:06
Fuck, sometimes you just gotta moan.
1:30:11
You gotta let it out. Just gotta let that out last.
1:30:14
Night we're driving with my dad to hack it.
1:30:16
Sound calls and you just start to moaning but.
1:30:18
That's like your dad's. In the car, Dad's laughing
1:30:21
because he's like. Who the fuck is wrong with him?
1:30:24
Dude, one of my favorite things to ask when you're on the phone

1:32:39
You don't. You don't like bet?
1:32:41
That chicken parm was made here. I was.
1:32:42
Going to say that too. Look.
1:32:43
At where the chicken parm? They should claim it because
1:32:46
Italian food is is mid what? We're taking it to the web.
1:32:50
We're taking it to the web. Wait, wait, wait.
1:32:52
I want to hear a Frankie folks with chicken parm because.
1:32:54
This is such a great fucking food.
1:32:55
You like spaghetti? Yeah.
1:32:57
You like boiled dough? Yeah.
1:32:59
What? What does spaghetti do that
1:33:00
bread doesn't do better? Wait.
1:33:02
What the fuck A. Lot, bro.
1:33:04
Not a lot, but it tastes better. It tastes, really.
1:33:07
Yeah, yeah, Spaghetti over bread the.
1:33:09
Thing is, I'm also a bread guy though, so I understand where
1:33:12
you. Coming from what is boiled.
1:33:14
Dough. Right, Okay, yeah.
1:33:16
Bread is baked dough, so you could take the same whatever you
1:33:19
put on spaghetti. Name something, anything,
1:33:23
anything. Oil.
1:33:23
Yeah, anything. Put it on bread, it's better.
1:33:26
Like for example mozzarella and sauce.
1:33:29
You put it on bread, it's pizza. It's infinitely better than any
1:33:32
spaghetti dish. I do fuck with the spaghetti
1:33:34
though. Like like a chicken parm with a.
1:33:37
Bad bread. There is bad bread, but there's.
1:33:40
There's bad space. Yeah, I was about to say that.
1:33:42
A good dish of pasta to me is much better than a no good than.
1:33:46
A bread sandwich, though. And it's a.
1:33:48
Waste. No, it's a waste of space.
1:33:50
It's a waste of space compared to than a sandwich.
1:33:53
Dude, I put a. Sandwich.
1:33:55
A sandwich I want. Sometimes I want no.
1:33:59
The knife and the fork in my hand to fucking.
1:34:01
What do you have against Italians right now, man?
1:34:03
I just think their food is not that great.
1:34:06
It's so overrate. See I and it's like, but the
1:34:09
people that I rated know. I'm having this last.
1:34:11
Week. Yeah, 'cause you own a
1:34:12
restaurant that's Italian. No, it's not even about that.
1:34:15
It's like when I went to Italy, I went to look you could.
1:34:17
Cast in the World. Feta.
1:34:20
Well, you're. Greek wait, but it is.
1:34:23
Fuck, but it is. Listen, I would love to eat like
1:34:26
a piece of burrata or a piece of mozzarella, a block of really
1:34:30
good feta cheese sounds. Great love, Feta.
1:34:32
Cheese better than any French cheese.
1:34:34
Too burrata. Burrata, mozzarella or burrata
1:34:37
is the same it's. Retarded.
1:34:39
But burrata is. Just mozzarella with milk
1:34:40
inside. It's retarded.
1:34:42
It's not retarded. It's more in the creamy face.
1:34:45
Feta, you can put on anything and it shines, all right.
1:34:47
Feta, you take fucking bean soup and you put feta in it.
1:34:50
It's incredible if you put mozzarella in it.
1:34:52
Let's just taste it. Let's just take this fucking
1:34:54
table, for example, and you put a piece of mozzarella here, You
1:34:57
put A, and they're all all really great versions of these
1:35:00
cheeses. You put the best mozzarella
1:35:01
here, put the best feta here, put the best blue or Brie cheese
1:35:05
here. Blue fox, blue fox.
1:35:06
But sorry and sorry, France and Italy, we're eating the feta
1:35:10
fox. They got good applications for
1:35:12
each of them. You know what I mean?
1:35:13
How? Do you feel about this shit?
1:35:15
No. Yes, there's different.
1:35:16
Applications for each. Cheese.
1:35:18
I'm not a cheese person, so I. Haven't even tried feta cheese
1:35:21
on hold on. Dimitri's about to drop
1:35:23
knowledge on feta right now. And I need to know, bro, you're
1:35:25
Greek. We get it bro, No.
1:35:27
He's defending it. Shut the.
1:35:28
Can you put Parmigiano Reggiano in in eggs and be as good as
1:35:32
feta cheese in the eggs? No.
1:35:33
Absolutely not period. A feta cheese omelet, bro.
1:35:35
Like what? That's one of the best things in
1:35:37
the world. Hot tear.
1:35:39
He does have you. I can't relate.
1:35:41
You never had. I dude.
1:35:42
Next time I'm bringing fucking feta.
1:35:44
I'm not. You.
1:35:46
Bringing this thing I was supposed.
1:35:47
To bring me a piece of cake today.
1:35:49
See, the cake is we. Can't promise anything that's
1:35:51
been mentioned on the side. We were just supposed to do a
1:35:54
pot that. Is good.
1:35:55
This asshole in front of his daughter, he told me he was
1:35:58
gonna bring me a piece of cake. Now it's.
1:36:01
She literally crashed out because she wouldn't put the
1:36:03
icing on on the phone with him. She was like, where are you?
1:36:07
And she's inside crying because I'm like, dude, just try the
1:36:10
ice. What?
1:36:10
Kind of cake is this. It was like a it was like a
1:36:12
sweet potato, something like like squares and with like a
1:36:18
cream cheese icing on it tasted like a Cinnabon.
1:36:20
It's mad good. So she's like, I was like, yeah.
1:36:22
Don't mention Cinnabon again. Why?
1:36:25
That fucking lady that crashed out on the Internet this week?
1:36:28
Oh, the. 1. With the hard R.
1:36:31
Oh my gosh, you. Weren't fucking berserk.
1:36:33
I didn't see it. I'm not going to say I was just
1:36:35
thinking about how like during COVID, there was a massive
1:36:38
obsession with feta. Actually, really they did that
1:36:41
that like feta dishes just went up crazy style during COVID.
1:36:45
Yeah, because it's. Superior cheese they.
1:36:46
Found it out you guys were out it's like during COVID cheese
1:36:49
I'm. Pretty pissed about it.
1:36:50
Could you put parmesan on tomatoes?
1:36:54
Cucumbers on? Why do you keep?
1:36:55
Using Parmesan? Is it because of the Italian?
1:36:57
Because they say Parmesano Reggiano is like the the the
1:36:59
best cheese. It sucks, it's not good.
1:37:02
I wouldn't say it sucks. It's not like Gouda cheese.
1:37:04
That's French cheese. I think Gouda.
1:37:05
'S all right. Gouda's good.
1:37:07
Listen, if you have like a nice block of Parmesan Reggiano,
1:37:10
right, and you take a like a, you don't.
1:37:11
Really like it, and you like it because the Internet tells you
1:37:13
to. Like no, no, I don't.
1:37:15
Yes, you. It's good.
1:37:17
It tastes like It tastes like a touch like farts A.
1:37:20
Little bit shit which is most? Cheese smells and tastes like
1:37:23
smells. Like better tastes like fucking
1:37:28
yeah. We gotta have some right now,
1:37:30
dude. Uber.
1:37:31
Is so good. No, but.
1:37:33
The thing is, you gotta have good feta, the one that comes in
1:37:34
the bucket with the brine. Oh fuck, like the the.
1:37:37
Big pail like which one is at the diner and it's like a big
1:37:41
block of feta like this just. Sitting in salt water.
1:37:43
Sitting in like salty brine. What about the store?
1:37:46
The store? No to us regulars.
1:37:48
Like I wanna get feta on my way home.
1:37:50
Has that brine. If it doesn't have brine, it's
1:37:52
not real. Yeah, it's usually like a little
1:37:53
square container sitting in like a little.
1:37:55
Bit of water. Yeah, like a little bath, yeah.
1:37:57
Yeah, it's so fucking. But it doesn't if I'm gonna dry
1:37:59
feta and I'm gonna fucking eat it all this week now, 'cause
1:38:02
we're. Talking about.
1:38:03
Don't make everydays and just put it in the feta.
1:38:06
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then like, it's OK if it
1:38:08
overflows, like if the feta gets onto the hot pan, 'cause then it
1:38:11
like it like melts a little bit and like caramelizes.
1:38:14
It just becomes like so. Nice.
1:38:16
Fucking amazing. And with like a couple slices of
1:38:18
bread. Whatever like that really
1:38:20
toasted like like like like like like a bruschetta bread,
1:38:24
whatever the fuck that is in Vafetta though, that would eat
1:38:27
that right now. Unlimited.
1:38:30
Not spaghetti. No, no.
1:38:32
Well, there's different. Breads just superior.
1:38:34
Yeah, rice is superior to to. But I'm not he and spaghetti
1:38:37
like casually. You know you don't like rice
1:38:39
more that you should be liking rice more.
1:38:41
Oh no, you're. Filipino, I love hot dogs.
1:38:43
I fuck with pasta. Pasta.
1:38:44
Yeah, and ketchup. Yeah, they do.
1:38:45
Yeah, you. Do it's different?
1:38:47
It's different for you. Well, I just grew up here
1:38:49
jerseys I like. Pasta restaurant.
1:38:50
Filipino restaurant. Max's.
1:38:52
Max's yeah, Manila. Is pretty good.
1:38:54
That's just pretty. Good.
1:38:55
Manila Ave. Yeah, of course.
1:38:57
It's called Manila Ave., Yeah. Where else are you going to put
1:38:58
the Filipino restaurant? Actually West side Ave.
1:39:02
They'll probably fucking shit load of Filipino.
1:39:04
Yeah, dude. Yo, this guy, is this guy's
1:39:08
around the Philippines? I end up with Forerunners.
1:39:12
They taught you the one only phrase that every single person
1:39:16
teaches a white guy. They're like yeah Oh my God,
1:39:19
dude, they taught you. They just.
1:39:20
Know they they. Taught you the necessities.
1:39:22
Yeah. They're like, this is a good
1:39:24
word, Yeah. I only hire Filipino people and
1:39:27
they haven't taught me shit about their language yet.
1:39:29
You gotta say putang in ammo. You know it too well.
1:39:32
That's kind of, it's really impressive.
1:39:34
You guys tell me one thing once I already forgot it so.
1:39:37
Come to my performance at the Mandalay Bay.
1:39:40
Dude, is that a Manny Pacquiao? Person because dude, I have.
1:39:43
A dude, I have a big beef with that guy because like the the
1:39:46
fact he was really awesome for like a little while for for
1:39:49
Filipinos, it's just the fact that he was like piling mad shit
1:39:53
onto his plate. Like you're a congressman, now
1:39:55
you're singing, now you're playing basketball and now
1:39:57
you're a boxer. Listen.
1:39:58
Dude. What?
1:40:00
That's kind of like he was a bad ass dude.
1:40:02
He was really sick. Yeah, he was a bad ass dude.
1:40:05
Dude like the Eric Morales like era of of Manny Pacquiao.
1:40:08
That was a great time to. Be happy.
1:40:10
Guy he got knocked out that one time I remember like the
1:40:12
Filipinos were like. Bad stage.
1:40:14
Oh, it was crazy. Like all the videos of them
1:40:16
reacting to the knockout was like.
1:40:18
Yeah, who did? Who did get knocked that by?
1:40:20
Mexican dude I think. It's always a Mexican guy that's
1:40:22
fighting him. Mexican kids box man.
1:40:25
It's like they're on like they're like evil, evil, equal
1:40:28
terms of like, you know, like fighters.
1:40:31
You know, they're, they're like, well, like I feel like
1:40:33
Filipinos, like the Hispanics of Asia, it's like we're like super
1:40:37
far. And we're also like really dark
1:40:39
compared to like, yeah, like we're mud Asians, dude.
1:40:42
Well done. Yeah.
1:40:43
Yeah, we're well done. Well done.
1:40:45
Well done. Well done Asians.
1:40:46
Dude, I don't know, like I forgot who I don't really know,
1:40:50
but those, those many Pacquiao parties were great.
1:40:52
Dude, somebody. Mandalay Bay.
1:40:53
Somebody, yes, somebody made a proof about it.
1:40:56
And like those those are the parties were randomly on a
1:40:58
Friday or whatever, they're probably all your aunty uncles
1:41:01
were getting hammered. I remember the fight.
1:41:03
Yelling at the fucking screen. Yeah.
1:41:05
Did he? Yo, did you?
1:41:06
Watch the document. Did you?
1:41:07
Watch it. I didn't watch it.
1:41:08
Yet. Oh dude, I started.
1:41:09
It twice both I fell asleep, both times I didn't.
1:41:12
Really, I feel. Like I'm supposed.
1:41:13
To talk about it today. Mouthwash.
1:41:14
Is so good it's hilarious dude I can't believe it's just funny
1:41:18
like. Ja Rule got involved in the mix.
1:41:20
Ja Rule I wish. I wish. $0.50 was in the
1:41:23
documentary because if why wouldn't he mix talking about
1:41:25
this shit? I would have died last.
1:41:26
Night the problem. My problem is $0.50 was in a lot
1:41:29
of those photos. Oh shit, at the dating.
1:41:32
Party. That's how he knew about it.
1:41:33
Wasn't he cut out? Yeah.
1:41:35
That's how I only know because of Ja Rule.
1:41:37
Really. Ja Rule put him on blast.
1:41:39
Yeah, well, I mean, that's how he knows about everything.
1:41:41
Yeah, that, that was obviously. Has like moral I.
1:41:49
Don't know, but obviously. I think it's like more
1:41:50
intelligent. He killed the first few people
1:41:53
that he killed, you know? His compass to navigate around
1:41:55
that shit was so funny. It's like I'm making the this
1:41:58
Diddy documentary and it's going to be on Netflix.
1:42:00
It's. Just funny because the the Diddy
1:42:01
hires Diddy hired that guy to follow him around.
1:42:04
I. Thought that he.
1:42:05
Never paid him. Oh is that so?
1:42:07
50 fought all the footage. You put it in the documentary.
1:42:09
Oh my God, now that's wondering. That's a how this happened.
1:42:14
Yeah, that's a play. That's an example of a $0.50
1:42:16
move. Yeah, that's how he got all Like
1:42:18
it started off like the documentary started off like
1:42:21
them following around Diddy and like Diddy like.
1:42:23
I didn't know that's where you got the footage.
1:42:25
Yeah, yeah. How much you paid for that
1:42:26
footage? How much $0.50?
1:42:30
There it goes. There it is.
1:42:33
It's a little no, it said. Like it was acquired from the
1:42:36
film makers like after the creation of the dock or
1:42:40
whatever. It's crazy because he had the
1:42:41
dudes that were like there, like working like the books and shit
1:42:45
like that. Like in there like.
1:42:46
He was closest, guys. Isn't that kind of weird that he
1:42:50
like how is that legal to do what Like use that footage
1:42:53
against someone without their? Like it wasn't anything like
1:42:57
damning. Though you're not targeting.
1:42:58
Yeah, you're. Like they're just talking about
1:43:00
like, like how everything transpires.
1:43:02
I think the craziest thing about the whole thing to me is that
1:43:05
like P Diddy 15 years ago, How old is he right now?
1:43:08
55I. Don't know.
1:43:10
So he was, look that up, 40. He was 40 year old man worth
1:43:14
billions of dollars and he was plowing Justin Bieber like how
1:43:18
fucked is your brain? Yeah, but I mean, he's a freak.
1:43:22
Dude. What I.
1:43:22
He's 56. Yeah, yeah.
1:43:24
But it's like what I realized is I think when you have that much
1:43:27
money, you get bored. Everything you can possibly buy.
1:43:31
You go, you gravitate towards little boys that look like Alan.
1:43:34
But The thing is, you, all these dudes that are worth billions do
1:43:38
it because they're just like they you.
1:43:40
You've think of the kind of person that it takes to be so
1:43:44
obsessive to, to, to. Make that kind of money.
1:43:47
Deal with the shit that he's doing and then buy every like he
1:43:50
can buy whatever he wants. You think that developed from at
1:43:52
home like the the docked? Like his mom beating his ass.
1:43:56
Yeah, and like his mom being like a caller, you know what I
1:43:58
mean? I.
1:43:58
Don't know dude. You know, dude.
1:44:00
I don't even think making all that money, like becoming a
1:44:03
billionaire makes you hungry for little boys, I think.
1:44:07
Yeah, but there is a lot of weird in.
1:44:09
You. There's a lot of weird shit
1:44:10
going on though with that I. Think that was weird.
1:44:11
I think it is the money. You think it's the money?
1:44:13
Yeah, yeah, literally, I can have you have you can buy
1:44:16
anything you want. I've.
1:44:17
Thought about many times. Literally the same deal when.
1:44:20
You're buying. You could buy everything so many
1:44:21
times over. Nothing for a perfect example.
1:44:24
Dude, you buy a sick car, it wears off.
1:44:27
There's very few people that can buy bars.
1:44:30
Happy with that? Car.
1:44:31
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's that's true.
1:44:34
Dude, I was talking Luca at fucking Ferrari.
1:44:36
He's like, there's guys that would go in, they'd buy like a
1:44:39
488 like brand new, drive it down the street and be come back
1:44:44
and be like, I can't. I needed the piece, though,
1:44:46
because this thing's not like it's not.
1:44:48
The newest? It's not the.
1:44:50
It's not. The best?
1:44:51
Of what it is and then they get the piece, then that wears away
1:44:54
and then they want the next thing.
1:44:56
So it's like you can only go so much and if you're a billionaire
1:45:00
and he can have anything, what's the sickest car in the world?
1:45:02
McLaren F1 can own that he could buy it.
1:45:05
He can write a check and buy it cash.
1:45:07
At that point, nothing is nothing and like dude, he had
1:45:11
the hottest chicks. Cassie was like fucking insane
1:45:13
dude. What would you do with Cassie
1:45:14
and? Yeah, and like.
1:45:16
What? Yeah, like Massey.
1:45:18
Was a bad. Well.
1:45:19
Yeah, I didn't. I didn't watch it yet.
1:45:21
But he mopped the floor of a hotel with her.
1:45:23
I didn't. I didn't watch it yet, but I'm
1:45:24
pretty sure the. Pussy.
1:45:25
He's fucking seen like the elite level, like we talk about Dua
1:45:29
Lipa all the time. Really.
1:45:32
Dua Lipa's go. Out of out of all the bunch.
1:45:36

1:45:38

1:45:46
documentary is the guy that got called come.

1:45:53

1:45:57

1:45:59
Lord Almighty. Yeah, like.
1:46:02
Imagine that, but then you get sick of it eventually.
1:46:05
No. If you get sick of that, you
1:46:06
should kill yourself, No? There's people that get sick of
1:46:09
it. Dude.
1:46:09
This dude has probably seen the most insane box.
1:46:13
Elite pussy elite. Box of boxes and he's probably
1:46:17
like, where do you go from that? OK.
1:46:19
Right you Justin Bieber's butthole.
1:46:21

1:46:22
Now you have. Dominance thing that was part of
1:46:24
the documentary that he needed to like dominate other dudes
1:46:27

1:46:30
you the only person that was up on that entire dock is the dude
1:46:33
they would call to come in to fuck Cassie in front of Diddy.
1:46:36
Yeah, he literally got paid. Just e-mail Cassie in front.
1:46:39
He was a cop. No you didn't know Did he was a
1:46:41
Diddy Would Diddy would pay other fuck.
1:46:43
Did I ruin that doc for you? Just no.
1:46:45
Someone said that earlier. Dude, but it was even in the
1:46:48
whole court thing before the doc Diddy would pay other guys and
1:46:51
he would sit there and watch like he want.
1:46:53
He loved seeing Cassie getting fucked by like for and they he
1:46:57
would they would take E and they would fuck for days and he would
1:47:01

1:47:40
You're still. She's still fucking beautiful.
1:47:42
Yeah, Me and You was a great song.
1:47:44
Doesn't change my view about it about this.
1:47:46
At all she's. I couldn't name one single song
1:47:48
that's the. Only.
1:47:49
Song I know I do like the only song I actually do like that

want you there's like all these dudes.
1:48:00
It's not just him, all these fucking weirdo billionaires,
1:48:04
whatever. Once they get to that point they
1:48:06
just do weird shit because. I mean, yeah, look at.
1:48:08
That guy from prime, Like that guy from prime Dimitri?
1:48:11
Bro that guy is fucking crazy. Yeah, dude, I bang John all the
1:48:14
time. No, I could never do it.
1:48:16
I get what you're saying, but like I I think P Diddy was I
1:48:21
think he's gay. Obviously I like I do think he's
1:48:23
gay. I.
1:48:24
Think he's like he's a. Guy bisexual, you say?
1:48:26
Bisexual. Yeah, yeah.
1:48:28
So. But I think that's a dominating
1:48:30
kind of thing. Yeah, he's got multiple
1:48:31
problems, but. Like he has a severe.
1:48:34
We've spoken about dragon fever, yeah.
1:48:36
What the hell, Lord? Of the rings.
1:48:38
Yeah. Or like The Hobbit.
1:48:41
What is the dragon? Don't shit in a condom bro.
1:48:43
Bring it in, throw it, bring. It in Yeah, I'll be right back.

Oh, he's probably. Going to get Zen, that's what.
1:48:54
He's he called you a degenerate for fucking.
1:48:56
Yep, look it come back. What's wrong?
1:48:58

1:49:04
You want a Knick knack? Nah, it's not enough for him.
1:49:06
Oh, it's. Not it's not what were you
1:49:08
saying? No, I was just I don't know,
1:49:09
like I understand what you're saying.
1:49:12
It could sound really weird if we keep going down this what
1:49:16
you're saying, but I get what you're saying.
1:49:19
But like I I can't relate obviously because we're not
1:49:21
fucking billionaires who are into little girls and guys.
1:49:24
But I'm saying I understand how your brain could twist into
1:49:29
this. You know what I mean?
1:49:30
It's like the I don't want to sound like I hate talking about
1:49:35
it because it's like I don't like the time, right, because I
1:49:39
was like in a different state of mind.
1:49:40
But when I had like my nicer shit, it's never.
1:49:44
Enough. Yeah.
1:49:45
It's never good enough. So it's like you're always
1:49:48
looking for the next. I never got to the point where I
1:49:50
wanted little boys asses exactly like I I see how these dudes get
1:49:55
to that. Yeah.
1:49:56
And. Even if they're straight, that's
1:49:57
when you get into the Epstein shit and there's like there's
1:49:59
young girls on an island and this and that, you know what I
1:50:02
mean? Like.
1:50:03
'Cause then 'cause then you're. Oh, it's water.

1:50:58
Because I was like, are we in the window We'll cut right now?
1:51:00
Because I would love a cigarette right now.
1:51:02

Toilet can't faction matches. You have too much money.
1:51:32
You have too much money. These are the cheapest thing in
1:51:35

1:52:15
No, that's a good play. That's left field.
1:52:21
That's left. This was new though.
1:52:22
It's crazy. Lucky Strike.
1:52:23
Made a comeback like. I went to Japan and.
1:52:26
I had Lucky Strikes. There and they.
1:52:28
Were good. And then, to my surprise, I had
1:52:30
lucky. Strike here, one, because
1:52:31
Marlboros are like $13 a pack sometimes, depending on the
1:52:36
fucking store. These are nine.
1:52:39
Yeah, it's more palatable. It's like it's like, OK, that's
1:52:42
like a normal cost for a cigarette, at least from.
1:52:44
What I remember they're like. $18.00 dude they're fucking
1:52:47
literally $20. When I quit smoking there were
1:52:49
like. 17 bucks a pack for I smoked.
1:52:51
American Spirits. They were like $17.00 a What are
1:52:53
the most expensive? Wait, they're 17 a pack then?
1:52:57
And they're only in the city, in the.
1:52:59
City. Now they're like 21.
1:53:01
Or 22. They gotta be over 20.
1:53:03
I remember for some reason like I would visit my buddies who'd
1:53:07
go to. College in PA and you'd.
1:53:08
Be able to buy a carton like 30 bucks for like 30-40 bucks.
1:53:12
Yeah, Yeah. We used to go to is that.
1:53:15
What's the casino? Parks.
1:53:19
Is that still a thing? Like buying cartoons we used to
1:53:21
stop. On the way to.
1:53:22
H2O Yeah, we. Stopped in stock.
1:53:24
Up in Delaware, 'cause there was tax, right?
1:53:26
It was. They didn't.
1:53:27
Tax it and some no tax. It was like half the price.
1:53:29
Yeah, yeah, yeah. My.
1:53:30
God dude, Heavy D. Would come with us to He would.
1:53:33
1000 Marble Light One. Hundreds.

1:53:38
For like a week. Oh dude.
1:53:40
That's what he loves. He loves fucking one hundreds.
1:53:42
I did ultra lights. Though Ohh yeah dude you would
1:53:44
love these. Ones and there's these ones that
1:53:46
you put. In that would literally burn for
1:53:48
forever. Dude I fuck.
1:53:50
I smoked them 'cause Rose would smoke Ultra Lights.
1:53:52
I wanted to 100 remember that was Dimitri first.
1:53:54
Abusive. Relationship is.
1:53:56
That this that is fucking. Is that the silver?
1:54:01
Pack the ultralight. Yeah, like that wasn't.
1:54:04
Abusive relationship actually. Yeah, Cross sucked.
1:54:07
Oh my God dude, let's not. Talk about what?
1:54:10
Because we both had abusive. Relationships at the same exact
1:54:14
time. Yeah, but they could bond.
1:54:16
Over it, you know, Well, we were like.
1:54:18
They were both friends like best.
1:54:19
Friends. So you didn't know it was going?
1:54:21
On as it was going on until. Afterwards we were both abused.
1:54:24
We would smoke cigarettes at a strip club until like 4.
1:54:26
O'clock in the morning while we were in those relationships.
1:54:28
You. Probably saw my dad.
1:54:29
Dude, that's crazy. Probably stilettos.
1:54:31
Yeah, probably he. Loves it in that mother of
1:54:35
ballet. He loves that.
1:54:36
BYO when you were. Talking about the restaurants
1:54:39
because. There was like, you know, like
1:54:43
we didn't really have direction in life.
1:54:46
And your brother plucked you. Out of stilettos like you.
1:54:48
Literally were gone and he, like, gave you direction.
1:54:52
If you're real, it's fair. It's very fair.
1:54:54
What do you mean he plucked you out of there?
1:54:55
Hold on. I wasn't worried.
1:54:57
I just happened to be. There so I.
1:54:59
I validated. That 17 years old, which.
1:55:01
Is kind of a normal gig I think for a 17 year old kid.
1:55:05
My boss just happened to put me as stilettos but they made like
1:55:08
big money for like I was. 17 years old.
1:55:10
I made 4. 100 bucks every Friday and every Saturday fire.
1:55:13
So I was making 800 bucks on Friday, Saturday fire.
1:55:16
And then before, before Mike plucked me away.
1:55:19
Mike is my brother. I got a job at Giant Stadium.
1:55:23
Remember that? Oh yeah, he's at Giant Stadium,
1:55:25
Jack. Well.
1:55:26
MetLife. Oh yeah, whatever.
1:55:27
But it was giant stadium. Rest in peace.
1:55:31
And I. Was like bartending on concert
1:55:34
nights and football games. Crazy money.
1:55:37
I was 18 there. What no 18 and 19?
1:55:42
I worked there for like a season and 1/2.
1:55:45
So. I would work like a Saturday
1:55:48
night concert, like there there was actually.
1:55:50
I remember this actually vividly.
1:55:52
I worked a Muse concert the day before going to H2O.
1:55:58
Oh, you're about to be branded up, dude.
1:55:59
I was, I was broke. I had no business going anywhere
1:56:02
on. Vacation.
1:56:03
None of that. Shit, I made like 35. 100 bucks
1:56:05
the night of the Muse concert all the way.
1:56:07
Shit, I was like shit, I'm in. That's he made shit happen.
1:56:12
Yeah, you. Probably bought secrets when
1:56:14
you. Got done?
1:56:14
That's crazy. We tried. 3500 in a fucking day.
1:56:18
3500 bucks and I got 100 day. Trade we we would get paid like.
1:56:21
$15.00 An. Hour back then.
1:56:23
That's a lot of fucking. Money, bro.
1:56:24
Yeah, yeah. We have.
1:56:26
We have. Months where we don't make 3500.
1:56:28
Yeah. And then the next time I saw
1:56:30
you, I hadn't seen you in years, is when I got my GT3.
1:56:34
You hit me up. No, no, no, no, no, that's not
1:56:37
that's not true. I with that is true, but before
1:56:40
that? I had come with my S4 to your
1:56:43
show. That doesn't count because I I
1:56:45
you were a piece of shit back then.
1:56:48
Dimitri holds a grudge. With me till this day, he can't
1:56:51
let go of the fact that he thinks.
1:56:53
I took my B7S4 for work to get done at KMD.
1:56:59
Oh a different shop, a different shop.
1:57:02
And he's such a little bitch about it.
1:57:05
And they posted a picture. On like Audi Zine and his car
1:57:08
was there and I recognized I was.
1:57:09
Like you, I was like the best. Part it was ever again.
1:57:13
I literally, I don't know if you guys know Chris Cortana, I.
1:57:16
Held this no until. So fucked up.
1:57:19
Dude fucking hell that shit in for like. 15 years.
1:57:22
I literally went there to say what's up to my boy.
1:57:24
Chris, who worked, who worked at KMD for a little while, and then
1:57:27
I brought the car to prime this fucking Dick.
1:57:29
It's not how it played out in my head.
1:57:32
So I'm going to go until until you die.
1:57:35
Until you guys got together for. For a soapbox and then.
1:57:39
Dimitri brings it up. Yes, right there.
1:57:41
I got the boxy 3 and we went to the meet on in Garden State
1:57:44
Plaza. You had an FA three?
1:57:46
Yeah. I had like an FADM 3 and it was
1:57:50
like my first cool car in a while.
1:57:51
I had like, you know, decent cool cars for a little bit, but
1:57:55
I was like daily driving, parking in the city and shit.
1:57:58
And then I finally got my F80M3, which at the time was like my
1:58:01
dream car was like, man, it's cool.
1:58:02
I I did it. Car sucked, but I really it
1:58:07
sucks. I I put like. 20 grand into that
1:58:10
car like the. The month I got it such an.
1:58:11
Overrated car it was. Just like.
1:58:13
Man, so get just get a manual 340I then OK no.
1:58:17
No, if you get a. 340I you you're.
1:58:19
Not my favorite car guy I think. Listen, they're fast and
1:58:25
whatever they they have the verbal tune, blah, blah, blah,
1:58:27
blah, blah. I don't like that.
1:58:28
Yeah. They're not.
1:58:29
They're not. For me, but if I was ever going
1:58:31
to do anything BMW again. It would have to be.
1:58:34
E 92 or older oh older oh OK, I like the V8 and the E90 twos.
1:58:39
They sound like yeah, but you guys, you guys are making it
1:58:41
seem like. German.
1:58:41
Cars are just not really it. Anymore.
1:58:43
They stopped being it after 20. 11. 2011 or greater cars they
1:58:48
just became. So boring because you could use
1:58:51
the word gay, yeah. They're not even gay, they're
1:58:56
just. Really.
1:58:56
They're. Boring they're.
1:58:57
Fucking scared what you were going to use.
1:58:59
I was like, gay. What's he going to say now?
1:59:01
Just dropping the hard R just out.
1:59:04
Of no, just out of. Context.
1:59:07
No, we don't need that word here.
1:59:10
We, they're they're. Soulless and.
1:59:12
They the auto blip. And like.
1:59:15
There, there's nothing going. On in those cars, but whatever I
1:59:18
got my F80I was super pumped about it and at the time I had
1:59:20
known that he got his 997-GT3. It was like the first nice car
1:59:24
I'd ever bought, right? Crazy car I ever bought.
1:59:27
So I was like, yo, let's. Meet up it's been a long time so
1:59:30
we like we GTG Ed. Just the two of.
1:59:31
Us, we went to a car. Wash we went to then we take my
1:59:33
nephew to the George Wash the the the car show at the Garden
1:59:38
State Plaza yeah, yeah, we met Mike there yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:59:42
So Mike and his middle child, it was like a they.
1:59:45
They had that like crazy. Meat.
1:59:47
It was like all hyper cars. Yeah, like Veyrons and shit.
1:59:50
At Garden State Plaza, it was cool.
1:59:52
Oh yeah, that was like the first time we hung out in.
1:59:54
Probably a decade. Yeah.
1:59:55
Outside of, like, me visiting his shop, Dimitri doesn't eat
1:59:59
food except for at home, so he never came to the restaurants.
2:00:02
Friends. For 20 years, he never once
2:00:04
visited New Jersey City. Never once.
2:00:08
Why not? I don't eat out.
2:00:10
Is there a reason? I just don't think.
2:00:12
It's worth the money, I just think.
2:00:15
I The thing is I've. I've grown up around.
2:00:17
Food so it's and I'm. Not yeah, you.
2:00:20
Literally worked in a diner. So yeah.
2:00:21
But it's like, I've always enjoyed the process of doing it,
2:00:24
like doing it myself. So, like, I'll go home.
2:00:27
And I'm the exact opposite of you.
2:00:28
I can't. You'll spend money out there.
2:00:31
I don't want to fucking do any of that shit myself.
2:00:33
I do it, but I don't. Want to.
2:00:34
I don't want to clean any of it. See, I don't clean.
2:00:37
I'm the cook part. I don't want to cook.
2:00:38
Wife cleans. I like the cook.
2:00:40
Part I don't like the clean part of that shit I don't.
2:00:42
Do the clean but I do the cook the.
2:00:44
And I like so it's. Like yo, everything I ate out
2:00:47
was. Never as good as I can bake.
2:00:49
And if it's good, I can make it better at home for way less
2:00:51
money. Yeah.
2:00:52
I mean, if you feel that way, then you probably shouldn't eat
2:00:54
out. I just don't eat out.
2:00:56
But I just, I mean don't enjoy it.
2:00:58
It's got it's got a lot of stuff.
2:00:59
So you're not coming to chili there?
2:01:00
To wear chili, you're not coming to chili.
2:01:02
I wouldn't even come to Chili's. I wouldn't even go to Chili's.
2:01:05
And I what you're saying it does Chili's is good.
2:01:08
Fucks though for what it was back in the day.
2:01:11
Listen, you're gonna go and you're gonna.
2:01:14
Enjoy yourself and I'm happy for you.
2:01:15
That's just ass. Do you remember?
2:01:18
I feel like there was a few years ago where?
2:01:21
It wasn't a Chili's. But like Applebee's, when you
2:01:24
would meet up with cars at Applebee's at night, yeah, that
2:01:27
was that was great. When we were kids, that was like
2:01:31
fucking $10 to eat out. Like, shit.
2:01:33
I've never. Shit like I've shit after eating
2:01:35
it you will know like you will shit like I'm like fuck.
2:01:38
After that person about not feeling.
2:01:41
Shitty the next day so it's like.
2:01:43
If I go here. And I eat.
2:01:45
Yes it's tasty but I feel like shit and it's not worth at that
2:01:48
point. That's not worth.
2:01:49
I can't eat any like fast food anymore.
2:01:51
Like, I'm done with fast food. I'm kind of on the tail end of
2:01:53
that. Just because I'm like.
2:01:56
But not like aim the you don't. Yearn for it probably as much.
2:02:00
I don't. I don't.
2:02:01
Yearn for it, you get it like. A really big.
2:02:03
Pinch. If I'm fucking starving, I'll
2:02:05
get like. Chipotle or five, which is not
2:02:08
that bad. It's not as I feel like it's
2:02:11
supposed to be pretty good. They both make me feel like
2:02:14
shit, but nothing makes me feel like shit like McDonald's.
2:02:16
I love McDonald's. The thought of like.
2:02:18
What? How much is a bowl at Chipotle
2:02:20
now? It's like 20 bucks to go to
2:02:21
Chipotle solo. What?
2:02:23
I pay $11.00 for my bowl. I got $12.00 burrito there 12.
2:02:26
Dollar Burrito $11. Bowl I go to Chipotle and I get
2:02:30
a. Burrito bowl.
2:02:31
And. A drink and it's like. $19.20

2:04:18
multivitamin like you supposed to take.
2:04:20
Two of them I only took. One and my piss would be fucking
2:04:24

2:04:48
yeah, we. Poops were nice, I.
2:04:49
Want to talk to you about that. What else have you noticed?

2:04:53
stuff that detox. Like it detoxes you.
2:04:56
Yeah, from like heavy. From like the bad shit that
2:04:59
like, yeah, 'cause like the vaccines, yeah, the like I was
2:05:01

Guy that's like the the number one.
2:06:16
Vegetable that you could be like, oh OK yeah I'll eat some

2:06:37
You know, like Tri colored carrots.
2:06:38
They're fucking delicious. Heirloom.
2:06:47
Maybe we should post some of the questions.
2:06:49
Yeah, there. Was probably not.
2:06:51
Many, but let. Me.
2:06:51
See. Let me see.
2:06:52
Let me see. We're moving.
2:06:53
We would talk about that instead of Dimitri.
2:06:55
Yeah. We're getting we're talking the
2:06:56
a bad word. He's just rage baiting the
2:06:59
people. What is he?
2:07:00
About to say so. We put this question arrow
2:07:02
cancel you I was. Like please podcast with
2:07:04
soapbox. I was like, who's gonna fucking
2:07:06
like? Ask it because we got Drifters.
2:07:08
In here, but there were some. Questions in here.
2:07:10
So I actually recently detailed the drifter's car.
2:07:14
How broken was it? How much fiberglass?
2:07:15
Why? Why are they?
2:07:16
Detailing the drift car. No, not that car.
2:07:18
That one never went out. Dave's Boy with the S2000 it.
2:07:21
Was a drift S2000. That's already.
2:07:23
But I think so. I just got the front bumper.
2:07:25
Really. No, it's it was.
2:07:28
Yellow. It's yellow drift one.
2:07:30
He's probably a takeover person. There's no.
2:07:32
Maybe I don't really. Know S2000, I was just judging
2:07:34
by the front. Bumper so sorry, but yeah, no.
2:07:36
Way there is a drift. S2000 that's Nino's.
2:07:40
It's blue though and I think he's in new.
2:07:41
York and how's he's been doing it.
2:07:43
He likes the S2000. I would assume Star.
2:07:48
Like yeah, that's like 1. Of those cars that like we.
2:07:52
We're always like, why don't? People drift them, but I think
2:07:54
it has something. To do with the.
2:07:55
Electric steering rack, right or something that and the fact that
2:07:58
it's not a drift car like how about the wage is kind of you
2:08:01
don't need to make every. Real drive car, a drift car.
2:08:04
We have a a good friend. Of ours, this kid Geraldo,
2:08:07
who's. Like haunting for an S2000
2:08:09
again. Oh, wait.
2:08:10
No, he bought one. I've met him Right again.
2:08:12
Did he come here? We told.
2:08:13
We always tell him to come here. Did you say something?
2:08:15
You have a red one. Here's a red one.
2:08:17
But he was. He was like hunting for one.
2:08:20
He paid like. 17 grand for that red one with like 130,000 miles
2:08:24
and rusty gas quarter panels. Yeah dude they're expensive.
2:08:26
I bought one for six 6900 that's fair back.
2:08:31
When that's fair. I blew up.
2:08:33
I had a Suzuka blue one for like a day.
2:08:35
I just. Did not want.
2:08:36
I was like, oh. Man, I always want as 2000.
2:08:38
Yeah. And then you get it, and then
2:08:40
you're like, yeah, I don't really fit in this.
2:08:42
Yeah, yeah, I'm like fucking Donkey Kong in those.
2:08:45
Cars I can't. I look ridiculous.
2:08:47
For me and. Like it's just very.
2:08:49
I love that fucking car. I mean, that's like 1 of.
2:08:52
My, let's be honest, my one of the coolest cars ever made.
2:08:54
Yeah, dude, it is. Cool, I.
2:08:56

Yeah, that, that. One sold on Bring a Trailer.
2:09:16
Suzuka Blue CR. Yeah, fucking sick.
2:09:19

Blue interior I. Like that?
2:09:26
What I like the blue. That's what I had for like a
2:09:29

2:09:30
It looks like I. Like the look?
2:09:31
It looks like a Canadian. Tuxedo.
2:09:33
There was a moment in time where my 2 best friends had a Honda
2:09:36
S2000. And the other one had RX8 and we
2:09:39
put. Exhaust on them.
2:09:40
And I was like, I don't know if it gets better than this for
2:09:42
Japanese cars, like just going through tunnels like RX Eights.
2:09:45
The way it sounds. Dude, the cars so cool.
2:09:48
Yeah, they love the way they look.
2:09:49
I hate that they're hated. Like they're.
2:09:51
Not like, you know, the motors kind of booty.
2:09:53
But the. The car is cool.
2:09:55
Cool car. Yeah.

Everything so good. Though our 7 is so good.
2:10:04

2:10:39
Compounds. For a paint correction, what do
2:10:43
you? Use.
2:10:44
Right, I have I have like 5 different ones in the shop.
2:10:46
It really it depends on the car. Brand in my opinion, and the
2:10:50
paint, you know, some paints are harder than others and some are
2:10:54
softer than others. Obviously, I really like like a
2:10:57
like a as a universal compound. I like the the Rupes, the blue
2:11:03
bottle. Damn is it expensive?
2:11:06
Shit It's no not like is it 3 M expensive.
2:11:11
Listen, I feel like all of. It's cheap when you're buying
2:11:14
for. Like yourself for your house,
2:11:15
right? Because.
2:11:16
How many times are you going to cut and Polish your car?
2:11:18
Yeah. Like if you buy a $20 bottle of
2:11:19
compound, is it cheap? Yeah.
2:11:22
For me, when we're going through like bottles and bottles, then
2:11:25
it like starts to add up. I also use the the Mcguire's.
2:11:28
I forget the name of it off the top of my head.
2:11:29
Microfiber. DA compound thing.
2:11:32
The pink one. The the pink one's good, but the
2:11:34
grey the like greyish. White Mcguire's cuts harder.
2:11:37
So if the car's super. Swirly pro speed.
2:11:40
No, it's like it's like D10. I forget the the numbers on it,
2:11:44
but it's we used the oh, I know which one you're talking about
2:11:49
the 101 or something. Yeah, it's like 101.
2:11:51
That that one's really good for like a a heavy cut depending on
2:11:55
the traditional. You just have to worry about the
2:11:56
pad and are you doing Rotary or are you doing DA?
2:12:00
Like there's so many different ways for me personally, I like
2:12:04
the the Rupez, the blue, the the compound.
2:12:08
It's good. It's it's a good product.
2:12:09
And and you can't really fuck your car up.
2:12:12
You know, you have to be kind of stupid to fuck your car up or
2:12:14
like really not paying attention at all while you're doing it and
2:12:16
just sitting there with the Rotary.
2:12:18
Like, yeah, for Beaver. Beaver fucking burnt all the
2:12:22
paint off. That STI dude I remember I had
2:12:24
a. Rotary.
2:12:25
Back in the day. When we used to do.
2:12:26
Detailing and I I sat there with a wool pad.
2:12:28
To see and on forgot What Car was like a red car.
2:12:32
It was like one of our cars. I'm like, let me see if I could
2:12:34
burn through the paint. Dude, you really have to be a
2:12:38
fucking Jackass. Yeah, burn through the pain.
2:12:41
It's crazy how many people actually do it.
2:12:43
You know who's like whose Instagram really is amazing?
2:12:46
That dude. That's Larson.
2:12:47
Yeah, Chris. Larson, yeah, he's, he's fucking
2:12:51
super talented, man, but. He makes cars look like.
2:12:54
Come on, that clean glass. Hold on, I'll.
2:12:56
Find him Chris Larson Larson under score detail under score
2:13:00
W. ERKZ works.
2:13:04
Chris is a customer of mine. He has a 15 STI, he's an older
2:13:08
gentleman. He fucking details like enzos
2:13:11
and shit and he does he like travels the world and does like
2:13:15
classes, seminars and shit and like how to how to Polish with a
2:13:18
Rotary. He's the man.
2:13:20
He's so insanely. Talented.
2:13:22
He's like ammo New York City level good, but he.
2:13:25
Doesn't have the PR like. He's just like him.
2:13:27
He just does it for like, he just makes a living.
2:13:30
He doesn't go. Like he just posts his stuff,
2:13:32
but he's like, he's probably the best detailer I know.
2:13:35
Yeah, it I mean, like it really is like an art sometimes.
2:13:38
Sometimes, like I feel like there's a little bit of a cheat
2:13:40
code. When you're detailing like a,
2:13:42
like a. $500,000. Ferrari because they're not
2:13:45
fucked, but sometimes I love when I want to see it on like a
2:13:47
fucking minivan or something like a black minivan.
2:13:51
There's like a video ammo. Ammo NYC recently did like a
2:13:54
crazy resto detail and like an I think it was an.
2:13:56
E39-M5 and like you talk about before and after and it's
2:14:02
absolutely insane, but like yeah, this dude's so good.
2:14:05
He's he's good and and the I know, I know what he charges too
2:14:09
and he the what he gets and it's.
2:14:10
Like he, he's got insane clientele, but he's doing he's
2:14:16
in Tommy. Don't you guys know the Yeah.
2:14:18
Tommy F Tommy F Yes. What the fuck is that?
2:14:22
He's like a drifter. Is he blocked?
2:14:23
He builds. He builds like GTR stuff.
2:14:25
Oh, OK, yeah. Yeah, I mean, this dude's also
2:14:28
in like the heart. Of the money in.
2:14:29
Connecticut so like, Oh yeah, so he.
2:14:32
Is at Tommy's shop. Yeah, that makes sense.
2:14:34
Oh, OK. So yeah, like, you know.
2:14:37
The daily drivers are the GT threes, so he's the man this.
2:14:40
Is he's the nicest guy too. He's really nicest fucking guy.
2:14:46
That's cool, yeah. A lot of people in here asking
2:14:48
about Magnum. Condoms at H2.
2:14:50
O. Really.
2:14:51
Actually, I digress. It's probably fucking Scott
2:14:54
Corn. Corn fed.
2:14:55
Yeah, corn fed again. He.
2:14:56
Asked about the. Fucking whores fuck you.
2:14:58
Scott, you Swedish fuck. I don't know if that oh I.
2:15:02
Remember now? Yeah, I don't know if that was
2:15:04
the same word. You used, but yeah, that.
2:15:06
Was a Swedish faggot. Yeah, I think it was for for
2:15:12
tree SAP. On a white car, should I?
2:15:14
Clay bar or go straight to polishing compound.
2:15:17
It depends how long it's been sitting there.
2:15:19
They make spray on chemicals like.
2:15:22
Iron X carpro, Iron X Iron X won't take off tree SAP
2:15:25
probably. If it's only been a couple days
2:15:27
then it should be fine. I'm going with a.
2:15:29
Razor blade. That's what I would do.
2:15:31
Oh my. God, you want to know what I?
2:15:33
You want to know what I do on my own fucking?
2:15:34
Car yeah, I'm gonna get tree saps.
2:15:36
Oh shit, like. That Hold on.
2:15:37
No, no, the greatest the greatest detail product known to
2:15:41
man a snake going over here. We no fuck break clean's
2:15:45
actually like if there's other detailers out there and you're.
2:15:47
Listening. To this and.
2:15:48
You disagree with me? Fuck off, fuck you.
2:15:52
Break clean is a detailer's magic.
2:15:54
What? Don't let it sit on the car
2:15:56
long. Use it where you need it.
2:15:59
Wipe it off like spot. Yeah, and then you're.
2:16:01
Going to Polish the I would answer any detailer, write it
2:16:03
after. Like neutralize dude.
2:16:05
Like you take a you. Take a quick detail spray and
2:16:07
like you rub it at an area. That has like something on it
2:16:09
like tree SAP or. Something you're going to
2:16:11
fucking trash your car away you take brake clean if you give a
2:16:14
shit about like oh like 1 of swirls and you're work you're
2:16:18
going to Polish it anyway if you're at that point if.
2:16:20
You're if you're going to take tree SAP off regardless.
2:16:22
I'm not a detailer I'm a or entire detailer.
2:16:25
Obviously that's how I built prime period.
2:16:27
I didn't even have brake clean back to that and we used to use
2:16:30
like adhesive like 3 M adhesive remover and I would fucking
2:16:32
throw paint thinner at that shit.
2:16:34
That's the number one paint thinner.
2:16:36
Yeah, is probably worse. It's.
2:16:37
Probably worse. I can, I know I can water.
2:16:41
The paint thinner after I don't be good?
2:16:42
He asked. Me to do his brake clean on like
2:16:44
the. 1st 200 cars that we did in that shop, I'd be like yeah,
2:16:47
yeah, yeah, yeah I'd put the brake clean in the.
2:16:48
Corner and I'd Polish the little area.
2:16:50
And then one day we had like a shitty gearbox car, like a $4000
2:16:53
WRX and it like it had stains all over the paint.
2:16:56
I took the Canon brake clean. I was like, whoa, shit works.
2:16:59
It doesn't pull the paint, it doesn't pull the clear.
2:17:01
You just gotta wipe it off. But then the car's getting
2:17:02
polished after anyway, so it's like deal.
2:17:04
With it like you like you strip. With the brake clean like a
2:17:07
really. Aggressive strip, you cut, you
2:17:09
Polish. The crazy thing is they'll be
2:17:10
like, oh. Like they'll wet, they'll
2:17:12
advocate for wet sanding. It's like you're doing you're.
2:17:15
Pulling more shit off your fucking shit up, more wet
2:17:18
sanding and pulling more layers of clear off wet sanding than
2:17:22
you are fucking just get it off. And rather than sitting there
2:17:25
fucking butt fucking the shit out of your clear coat, it's
2:17:29
just people are, you know, but people need to be perm and
2:17:31
proper. That's what I like to use.
2:17:33
I like to use shit like that for paint transfer, like you know.
2:17:37
When you like somebody rubs onto a pole or like, and you know,
2:17:41
dude, you know, it's not like in there.
2:17:43
He would have dudes sitting there.
2:17:44
They take the wheels off and like sitting there like really
2:17:48
like trying to get. Braked us off and I go bro, go
2:17:51
grab a can of brake clean and just fucking it's break dust.
2:17:55
Nothing is gonna happen to the wheel.
2:17:56
I mean, it fucking works. So yeah.
2:17:58
I mean, I've used brake clean on wheels before.
2:18:01
I want my hands. With it like someones in the
2:18:03
bathroom. I've done that too, and it's
2:18:06
probably really bad, yeah. Let me get cancer as fast as
2:18:09
possible, right? Yeah.
2:18:11
Well, that's, I mean, that's good information right there.
2:18:13
Yeah. The the tree SAP thing is, it's.
2:18:15
To answer the IT sucks. To answer the question, it sucks
2:18:17
and it's very situational and you have.
2:18:19
To like kind of touch it and see it to know for sure.
2:18:21
OK yeah, Louis said that GC 8 is bad ass.
2:18:26
Is there? AGC 8.
2:18:27
I don't know. I don't know.
2:18:29
Maybe we're talking about gearbox or soapbox.
2:18:31
I don't know. The grey one.
2:18:32
That's your car. The customer.
2:18:34
Oh, Hughes used car sick. Maybe that's.
2:18:37
The only one I could even think of.
2:18:39
He also asked. What's the biggest challenge you
2:18:41
faced I guess in this? Business.
2:18:44
Every day there's a new. Challenge.
2:18:48
I guess building the business and hiring staff.
2:18:53
What you. Like I don't, I, I detail cars
2:18:55
like when I have to with these guys, but finding the right guy
2:19:00
has been super challenging. And I have my 1 main guy right
2:19:04
now. And I've had like some part
2:19:05
timers and some guys that come in and fill in for me on the
2:19:08
side. I'd say like the the client
2:19:13
relation thing I have. That's not a problem for me.
2:19:15
Like I'm good with the. People like you mentioned
2:19:16
before, I know I. Am dude, be honest.
2:19:21
Let's be honest of like how it it fucking sucks because it's
2:19:24
like. To do it correctly, to like
2:19:27
build a business correctly, First of all, you're detailing a
2:19:30
car, right? So #1 there's a shit ton of
2:19:33
around here, especially there's a shit ton of competition and
2:19:36
there and detailing became like a huge thing, right?
2:19:39
There's you have a ton of overhead because you have to
2:19:42
have a good spot, right? And then you need good staff,
2:19:46
your fucking insurance. Especially when he was when he
2:19:49
had the vans, Yeah, insurance was like 30 grand a year.
2:19:52
And I'm like, bro, fuck this commercial insurance.
2:19:55
I'm like. It's literally you're working.
2:19:58
To pay commercial insurance is ridiculous.
2:20:00
Ridiculous. So he's like what is someones
2:20:03
really crashes or? This or that or whatever and
2:20:06
it's like. I get it, dude, but you're
2:20:08
you're you're going out of your own pocket to pay these dudes
2:20:11
every month. You got to kind of risk it a
2:20:13
little bit. I know you have to have it just
2:20:16
maybe till you build a clientele up to a certain level.
2:20:18
Yeah, that I I probably would have started smaller.
2:20:22
And way more like. Teetering on a shade of grey,
2:20:26
you know what I mean? It just devastates business.
2:20:29
I mean, what did we lose? In the first two years 250 we
2:20:32
lost 2. 150 grand in our first two years in operation.
2:20:36
So like, if you can't stomach that, Oh my God, and keep
2:20:39
pivoting and trying to make things, make so much money comes
2:20:42
out of your pocket. And it's not and.
2:20:44
Even to this day, it's not like it's this great thing.
2:20:47
Gearbox is what's what we do. What became it was it was good
2:20:51
because gearbox came out of it and then we were just like, yo,
2:20:54
it was literally I think it was like a it was a year ago where
2:20:57
like you're like, I don't think I'm going to renew my lease.
2:21:00
And I was like, bro, let's fucking buy a couple of like
2:21:03
cheap Subarus and let's fucking slang them.
2:21:06
And you know, we'll just keep detailing cars that will take
2:21:09
care of the guys and whatever and 3800 bucks a month will take
2:21:14
care of this unit's rent if we can sell 3800.
2:21:17
Bucks a month in. Profit on these cars.
2:21:19
Soapbox can operate without the extra bullshit overhead and
2:21:23
that's where it came out of and that that at least like at least
2:21:26
business, it's the learning of it.
2:21:28
That's the one good thing with it.
2:21:29
You learn as you go and you realize, like, you got a pivot
2:21:32
and change some stuff around and like, the vans were good and it
2:21:36
was great. But we also learned that you're
2:21:38
paying these dudes to to drive from job to job and sometimes
2:21:42
they're stuck in traffic and now you're wasting money right
2:21:45
there. Yeah, we figured after like,
2:21:47
serious thinking in math. Like, you know, you pay.
2:21:51
Someone call it 20 bucks an hour for easy math.
2:21:54
They get through three car washes in a day.
2:21:56
They worked for 10 hours because the first guy was in Caldwell,
2:22:00
the second guy was in Santa River, the third guy was in
2:22:02
Florham Park. You're paying that kid $120.00
2:22:06
of that day was just sitting in traffic getting from the next
2:22:08
guy to the next guy. You know, hats off to people
2:22:11
like Meech Bubbles who have like a really successful mobile
2:22:14
detailing business and like he does it however he gets it done
2:22:18
and his his roll decks of people's must be gigantic to
2:22:21
have that many vans on the road. He's also in an area where
2:22:24
there's less competition than up here.
2:22:26
There's like I, just I. Don't think I'd ever want to do
2:22:29
mobile ever again. Like bring people in, don't.
2:22:33
We don't hurt people, you know, we try to be super fair with our
2:22:36
pricing and try to appreciate every customer that comes in and
2:22:39
spends any money with us. But to this point, if you have
2:22:44
$6000 a month in bills just for rent, insurance and PSE&G and
2:22:48
cable, or, you know, Internet, water and then you have laundry,
2:22:53
$2000 a month in $2000 a week in payroll, yeah, you know, you're
2:22:57
looking at like, shit, I gotta come.
2:22:59
Like, like you're washing cars. You're gonna come up with 14 G's
2:23:03
a month just to break zero and then a full.
2:23:05
Correction in like ceramic codes like you're not.
2:23:07
It might take the whole week and you're not getting.
2:23:10
Paid that job and it the weather's ass so you're not
2:23:14
getting extra washes and other jobs you're coming out of pocket
2:23:18
yeah the the mobile thing sounds fucking hard it's fucking hard
2:23:23
it's like that and if. You don't have a crew of guys
2:23:25
that you really know and trust. Hard, hard.
2:23:28
And The thing is, they need to make a living too, right away.
2:23:31
And so they they're not guys that like he.
2:23:33
Yeah, because. You can't hire just random kids
2:23:35
that are. Learning, you know.
2:23:36
Hire people that know what they're doing.
2:23:37
Yeah. And you know that can drive.
2:23:40
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not that is retards that.
2:23:43
Yeah, it's like. Don't fucking wreck.
2:23:45
The vein, that's another thing I.
2:23:46
Bought a $75,000 Sprinter 2 and. 1/2 years ago I explained some
2:23:50
of that loss. Well, no, because I sold it but
2:23:53
2 1/2 years of owning that. Truck.
2:23:56
It had 30. Thousand 35,000 miles on it or
2:23:59
something like that OK 40 it is over 40,000 miles over 40 yeah
2:24:02
it shipped a lot of miles the fucking rear suspension was
2:24:05
blown out the whole. The whole frame.
2:24:07
Of the car was rusting. Because the.
2:24:09
We didn't know this, but there's like a 300 gallon.
2:24:11
I knew about the 300 gallon tank, so 300 gallon water tank
2:24:13
on the van that had like a slow leak in it that was just
2:24:16
puddling right under it and you can't see it and it's such a
2:24:19
slow leak and you know, you're dealing with water all day, so
2:24:21
everything's always a little wet.
2:24:23
Yeah, fucking the generator goes was down.
2:24:26
The generator is 1000 bucks. You know, like the mobile
2:24:28
detailing thing is kind of like something that you do after you
2:24:30
got a crazy clientele. Yeah, and maybe certain.
2:24:33
Employees maybe you know what I mean that way yeah you know it's
2:24:36
just maybe it would work then but even after what you said
2:24:38
with like you send the guy out and he just. 3 washes and he's
2:24:42
been driving. All day, it's yeah, you're
2:24:44
talking like you do $450 in sales and you got to pay someone
2:24:47
300 bucks for the day. Or do you have a really?
2:24:49
Good day, lined up. And then they just call out.
2:24:51
Yeah, yeah. Which happens, you know, Yeah.
2:24:54
You have a guy that booked a 500.
2:24:55
I've seen him be like, get in the van and go.
2:24:57
Himself. Yeah, yeah 'cause I'm fucking
2:25:01
old and fat. I can't be out there washing
2:25:02
cars. Yeah, I actually.
2:25:05
Own the. Company that I just had to sub
2:25:08
in for the day. Yeah.
2:25:10
Yeah, yeah. You know, it's no different than
2:25:12
like any small business, you know, but like with.
2:25:14
Soapbox. If I'm out doing washes all day
2:25:19
in a van, I can't do anything to run the business.
2:25:22
You know? You know how it is.
2:25:22
You can't run the business when the business is running you and
2:25:26
you know where it's a little different for like D or for you.
2:25:29
Like if a, if a tech calls out, you shift your schedule around,
2:25:33
you know, maybe you have to like do an alignment or something,
2:25:35
but you're still here When I'm gone for six hours, 'cause I
2:25:38
just got had to go do a, a $200 car wash.
2:25:41
It's tough. Yeah.
2:25:43
Do you enjoy it? Fuck, yeah.
2:25:47
That's good. Fuck yeah.
2:25:49
Cars have. I've met some of my best friends
2:25:53
in life. Cars have have been like my
2:25:55
biggest. Hobby, he sees me.
2:25:57
More. That's why he likes it.
2:25:59
Yeah, right. Right.
2:26:00
Dude, Demetria has the biggest. Smile on his face, he sees me.
2:26:04
More seriously though, like that might be 9 in.
2:26:06
The morning and coming in and all you hear from across.
2:26:08
The parking lot is Oh yeah. But no like I'm to be.
2:26:15
Fully serious, like some of my best.
2:26:17
Relationships in life have come. Out of cars, I'm a a junkie for
2:26:21
all cars, you know, So to be able to work with them on a on a
2:26:25
level like this, like where I'm not, you know, Oh yeah, dealing
2:26:31
with dealing with broken cars. Oh fuck yeah, bitch.
2:26:34
Like I'm not I'm. Not fixing cars.
2:26:36
You know what I mean? Like I'm not chasing problems.
2:26:38
I'm making someone's car really clean and really pretty or.
2:26:41
I'm selling someone. A car that they've been dying to
2:26:43
get for so long. You know, I just sold a car to a
2:26:45
kid like this, really nice. Like 19 year old kid from New
2:26:48
York. He was dying for an STI.
2:26:50
He's been hunting for an STI. He finally got his mom to say
2:26:53
yes to getting an STI. This kid was so fucking happy.
2:26:55
Like that's cool. You know, he's 19.
2:26:58
When I was 19, if someone gave me an STI or allowed me to buy
2:27:01
an STI, I'd be fucking happy too.
2:27:03
So to be able to be that guy that like get someone into like
2:27:05
a car like that or even this dude that bought the Volvo
2:27:07
today, he was like 53 years old. He bought like 10 Volvo V 70s or
2:27:12
7 Volvo V 70s. He's like trying to start a
2:27:15
little collection of them and open his own dealer.
2:27:17
I talked to him for like 2 1/2 hours today on the phone.
2:27:19
Shit so fucking nice. Like you, you meet really cool
2:27:22
people. So that to me is awesome because
2:27:25
I remember I saw you like maybe a year ago and I don't know if
2:27:29
it was, it must have been summer or something and you were.
2:27:31
Like, this shit's rough, man. Yeah, it's it's it's not fucking
2:27:35
easy. And people think I'm out here,
2:27:36
like, making a shit load of money actually.
2:27:38
Like we didn't get into this. But the like, my main guy in my
2:27:40
detail shop is my nephew and he's a good boy, good kid.
2:27:44
You know, he's growing up. He's 28 years old, so he's like
2:27:47
a young man. And I think sometimes his
2:27:51
perception is that I'm like upstairs in my office, like.
2:27:54
Playing around and. Making shit load of money when
2:27:56
really like you're actually just.
2:27:58
I'm fucking sucking wind. I lost $250,000 in the last two
2:28:02
years just to. Keep the shit together.
2:28:04
You know what I mean? Just like live the dream.
2:28:07
Fuck dude. What though?
2:28:08
Keep that image for. Him.
2:28:11
Or them. Alive.
2:28:13
Because to me that like if I was them, which most of the time I
2:28:17
am like, keep it alive because then it gives that person like,
2:28:21
oh, I just need to fucking like grind a little bit more, head
2:28:24
down, keep grinding. Yeah, just just just, you know,
2:28:26
Yeah. Like pivoting is the best word.
2:28:29
For me because like we'll. Me and Dmitri together.
2:28:32
Like we'll always pivot to try to just get out of the hole,
2:28:34
right? Like anything to just get to the
2:28:36
next step level of the game and just keep trying to make it
2:28:40
work. Like now we're moving to fucking
2:28:42
Hackett staff. Yeah, I want to bring that out
2:28:44
too, because So what's the plan there?
2:28:46
Like you got enough space over there for to do what you got to
2:28:48
do There's. Less.
2:28:49
Oh dude that's a compound you got tons of.
2:28:52
There's less inside space for like.
2:28:54
Detailing and stuff. But it's like there's.
2:28:57
Endless outdoor space with dude we we fucking the the back.
2:29:03
Re redid a lot and they just. Paved it this week.
2:29:05
It's like a lot of. Space outside, yeah.
2:29:07
It's a lot of space. It's good space.
2:29:09
It's not like insane, but it's like, it's good space.
2:29:11
Are you gonna have like a designated?
2:29:13
Area for washing or. OK, yeah.
2:29:15
You wanna see a pic? Yeah, kinda.
2:29:17
Cuz you. So it's been like 2 weeks since
2:29:18
we last spoke about. Everything so and it's like
2:29:21
probably getting pretty hectic. Cuz you're planning on moving.
2:29:24
So I've made this. Don't shit stick first day and
2:29:28
yeah shit that shit. Stick.
2:29:30
Oh my, what the fuck? That is a deep ass.
2:29:33
Yeah, that looks big. Room it.
2:29:34
Fits like 7 cars. Right now, and that's just for
2:29:37
detailing. That's just like the soapbox.
2:29:39
Gearbox. Bay.
2:29:40
You're good but I fit like 13 cars.
2:29:42
Inside if they're fucking. Tight right now and this fits
2:29:45
like 7. So like, yeah, OK, sometimes I
2:29:47
have cars inside they don't need.
2:29:48
Yeah, you got space auxiliary. So cars are gonna stay.
2:29:51
Yeah, it's like a fence slot in the back.
2:29:53
So the cars will stay in there, you know, like.
2:29:56
Yeah, right now we get castrated if we have more than four cars
2:29:59
outside. So can you put like an awning
2:30:01
you? Think or some sort of we're
2:30:03
talking about that we're probably going to cause the only
2:30:05
problem with detailing. Cars is that, you know, fucking
2:30:08
sun elements. You gotta if you got to bring
2:30:10
them out. Because you need more room
2:30:11
inside. And then yeah, yeah, that's the.
2:30:13
Only problem other than. That, that looks big enough.
2:30:16
Yeah, Yeah. I mean, go back.
2:30:17
To Phil, a detailer's. Domain, His shop is not huge,
2:30:21
you know he he makes it work. He has like 30 spots outside.
2:30:24
The cars go in when they're getting detailed, they go out
2:30:26
when they're getting picked up. So, you know, and I think when
2:30:30
we move, I think Soapbox, not that it's going to take a seat.
2:30:34
Who knows? I, I doubt if any of our current
2:30:37
clients are going to follow us to hack and sound, you know, so
2:30:40
we'll get new, new detailing clients and take it from there.
2:30:43
Start it round up with gearbox will probably take the front
2:30:47
seat as it as it kind of has and who knows what it might not.
2:30:53
It might not have to take a. You front, you don't know you.
2:30:56
Never know and it is. The word you could put a sign on
2:30:58
outside of the building. Another thing is on Route 46 so.
2:31:01
Like, Oh yeah, shit, who the fuck knows?
2:31:03
You know, you're gonna get some more remote area, you're gonna
2:31:06
get, but it's still Route 46. You're gonna.
2:31:09
Get trucked, bro. We're in the, we're in the.
2:31:11
Gland of an industrial. Complex.
2:31:13
Right now, no one accidentally passes.
2:31:14
By and says, oh, there's a detail.
2:31:16
Shop Yeah ohh yeah no. Where you are, right?
2:31:18
Yeah. It's like this.
2:31:19
It's like this spot. Yeah, yeah, No.
2:31:21
And you know you. Here you probably get. 50 times
2:31:23
more than that, yeah, 100 we get.
2:31:25
When they fucking detour shit around here and then I saw your
2:31:28
eyes. You were looking today you're.
2:31:29
Like, I like this spot over here.
2:31:31
Well, I never really like, I never investigated.
2:31:34
Your fucking his shot before you know but you.
2:31:37
Just made this setup. No, Yeah, I can't.
2:31:40
Yeah, your setup's good here. Yeah, the and he was.
2:31:42
Meant he was talking about the stairs and everything.
2:31:43
I was like, yeah, I. Don't want to deal with stairs?
2:31:45
Fuck the stairs off. You'd have to.
2:31:46
Like, deal with getting yelled at for having too much business?
2:31:49
Oh yeah, that's it. You know.
2:31:51
And I'm sure Jacob's listening right now.
2:31:53
Oh yeah, yeah. For sure who's?
2:31:56
Jacob Landlord, Who's our friend?
2:31:58
Who's the landlord's son? Who he's the most?
2:32:02
He's. Good, he's.
2:32:03
A good dude, but he. Knows that his dads like treats
2:32:08
us not. Fairly so you know it is.
2:32:12
Yeah, dude, like the ceiling, it's not even that.
2:32:15
Like the ceilings are so high. Like you heat the place, like
2:32:18
the things constantly running. Yeah.
2:32:19
And it only heats the top. The bottom is always before you
2:32:23
have high ceilings, all you want is high ceilings and then you
2:32:26
get high ceilings. There's definitely like a happy
2:32:27
medium, right? Like.
2:32:28
Yeah, 12 feet. That's good numbers like 1412 or
2:32:32
14. Leave it alone.
2:32:33
It's, I'm telling you dude, it fuck it's.
2:32:35
Cold. All the time and PSE&G is like
2:32:38
1000. Bucks a month right now, Yeah.
2:32:39
What's going on with that? Actually, I've been really
2:32:41
fucking cheap with the heat. On I haven't, we've heard.
2:32:44
Don't worry, we heard. JD came by.
2:32:46
Oh yeah, he's like, yo, the fucking heat's not on over
2:32:48
there. I don't know what they're doing.
2:32:49
I was. Like he's leaving, dude.
2:32:51
Like, I'm not paying, dude. Yeah.
2:32:52
Last year. Oh my God.
2:32:53
My God, Last year it had gone to.
2:32:57
The I think like January, February was like 1400 bucks a
2:33:02
month. And that was just, that's just
2:33:05
the one unit I was going to next door was another like 400 bucks.
2:33:10
Yeah, I was going to say that and I'm like $1400 seemed cheap.
2:33:13
And I'm like, that's not even like 52°.
2:33:16
Yeah, I no, I had. To set up in the like 40. 8 like
2:33:18
just enough to like. Not freeze totally.
2:33:20
And it's just like I was like. What the fuck dude?
2:33:22
Like how am I? It's like $2000 a month for
2:33:25
heat, you know, it's like, and then like spring comes and it
2:33:28
drops down to like 400. Yeah, still feels way too much.
2:33:32
If you combine our our rents and our PSE and GS, we're you're.
2:33:36
Like looking. Over 20. $22,000 in the winter
2:33:39
and like 20,000 in the summer. Now we have like oil heat and I
2:33:42
I like filled it up. It'll run out.
2:33:45
That's sick. That's what I have.
2:33:46
And I filled it up and it was like 600 bucks and it's like for
2:33:50
the. For book there's like 2
2:33:51
separate. Units for the different parts of
2:33:54
the warehouse and it's like yeah, can you can you run it off
2:33:57
of engine oil there's a specific heater that does and you have to
2:34:01
filter it because. And you have to be careful what
2:34:03
oil you put in it. Because if you get some fucking
2:34:05
Subaru with some spun. Ass bearing and you put it in it
2:34:08
fucks your whole shit up. So you got to kind of not really
2:34:10
worth it. It's not really worth it.
2:34:12
But it was only, it was, it was like hundreds of gallons it cost
2:34:15
like. I think.
2:34:16
It was like 200 gallons was like 600 bucks and you had a low CI
2:34:19
just did that and yeah, and it heats it so fast and it's like,
2:34:22
I was like, how long does this last?
2:34:23
And he's like. A season till next.
2:34:25
Year, yeah, a season. He's like by till the spring and
2:34:28
then you're not gonna need it and you're good.
2:34:29
Yeah. I mean, this is great.
2:34:31
People. Have been like we've been
2:34:32
talking about like, oh, are are their customers gonna go there
2:34:35
this and that. I think your customers are gonna
2:34:36
travel. But we've got a good response,
2:34:38
better than I thought. Yeah, yeah, even Soapbox we've
2:34:41
had like some prime customers that.
2:34:43
Always wanna come here yeah that are like I.
2:34:46
You're not going to drive an hour to get like a $200 Mini
2:34:48
detail and then drive an hour back and have a dirty car.
2:34:51
But now they're like, I can't wait to have you 15 minutes away
2:34:53
from us. Yeah, there's a lot out there.
2:34:55
But then there's a lot around here that I was like, they're
2:34:57
like, oh, you know, like I was expecting to be like.
2:35:00
You know, like it's far. They're like, oh, that's not
2:35:01
bad. Like, Oh yeah, dude, I think it
2:35:03
was your 40 minutes. Yeah.
2:35:04
They're like, where are you moving?
2:35:05
Oh, yeah. OK, so it's good.
2:35:06
And it's Route 80. Like it's.
2:35:08
Not yeah. It's kind of a chilled drive.
2:35:10
It's not that bad. It's not bad.
2:35:11
I've done it. So far every.
2:35:14
Day this week and this is like the.
2:35:16
One day I haven't gone in a while.
2:35:17
To come here and then it's last night.
2:35:20
It took me a long time because it like up there snowed, yeah,
2:35:24
And my truck's tires were not happy and that shit.
2:35:27
And I had the fucking dump trailer on and I was sliding
2:35:31
down cats Pole Rd. Yeah, no, dude, if you run out
2:35:34
of heating oil, that's just put in fucking off road.
2:35:37
That's what I did for my house. The one year off road diesel.
2:35:41
Oh really? It's the same shit.
2:35:42
Yeah, same exact shit I ran out of diesel or.
2:35:45
Well, we were running. Low on diesel and when it gets
2:35:48
cold, especially in Hackettstown, I'm pretty sure
2:35:51
Hackettstown oil or whatever takes care of that area.
2:35:55
They will sell the fuck out and then you're fucked.
2:35:59
And then they charge, you know, you go somewhere else and the
2:36:02
rates will go up. I have like a 55 gallon drum.
2:36:04
I'll go fill it up just like just in case you need.
2:36:06
Yeah, just in case. I'll go fill it up, bring it
2:36:09
home. Diesel pump right into the.
2:36:11
Little fucking tank. Oh, good.
2:36:13
Same thing. Done.
2:36:15
She works perfect. Perfect.
2:36:16
Good to know if you have a truck and you're.
2:36:18
Oh, dude, the dump trailer. Yeah.
2:36:20
Yeah, you load it. Up.
2:36:21
Your money? Yeah.
2:36:22
Save like save your empty the 85.
2:36:25
Ones just leave it open and just make.
2:36:27
Let it. Vent out on its.
2:36:28
Own good to know. And then fill it up and then you
2:36:30
could fill it up on your own. Oh, perfect.
2:36:31
Yeah, dude, you got that. Oh, sick.
2:36:33
You got your own little operation.
2:36:34
There you go dude. It's nice stuff like that, dude,
2:36:37
you save money. Yeah, compared to here and being
2:36:40
at PSC. And G's mercy and I, yeah,
2:36:42
'cause like, dude, the dino's going oil, heating oil.
2:36:44
I was like, oh, I gotta tell them about this.
2:36:46
Yeah, hell yeah, dude, because the Dino's going the doors.
2:36:48
Open, Yeah, and you're and the heat's.
2:36:51
You still got to heat it. Like you can just be like, sorry
2:36:53
guys, fuck you freeze. You got to heat it and that's
2:36:57
you're literally just throwing it out.
2:36:58
You're throwing money away and it's just like super bad.
2:37:01
It's also like poor design of where it is.
2:37:03
It's in a top. Left corner all the way to the
2:37:05
top of the ceiling. I have like 30 foot ceilings.
2:37:08
It's like it's so hard to heat it.
2:37:10
It's pumping. Poor design.
2:37:12
That's some. Good information in this podcast
2:37:13
because like I, I always wanted high ceilings.
2:37:16
No, fuck the high. Ceilings but like.
2:37:18
That that completely transforms even like the big shop, yeah.
2:37:22
That. Always is like I want a big
2:37:24
shop, I want a big shop and then.
2:37:26
What we said the one day the big ones hurt, the big ones hurt Hey
2:37:29
God damn big ones hurt. Well dude, that's why some of
2:37:33
those buildings that have high. Ceilings like that have a it
2:37:36
sounds. At first like it's.
2:37:37
Counterintuitive, but a fan up there is.
2:37:40
It helps. Yeah.
2:37:41
We don't have blow the air down. That's like the concept of a
2:37:45
Attic fan. Yeah, like.
2:37:47
How high were those ceilings over there?
2:37:49
26 Yeah dude, that's or maybe. They might even be. 30 I think
2:37:53
it was. It was probably literally.
2:37:55
Like 10. Degrees warmer.
2:37:57
Oh dude, no. Dude, I got the fire department.
2:37:59
Called on me like 3 times last year 'cause I had it set to 65
2:38:02
because at the fucking. Top it was like 101 hot bro, Oh
2:38:06
my God, and we'd put cars up, you know, like I'd get in a car
2:38:09
and I'd be like yo. Put me.
2:38:10
Up so you. Listen for a wheelbarrow.
2:38:12
Yeah, fuck, it's hot up here. Like what the fuck?
2:38:16
It's just blowing out. You're like damn dude, this
2:38:18
fucking. That's where all the heat is, so
2:38:19
the height is the same. In the new building.
2:38:22
Yeah. And is that the same landlord?
2:38:23
Yes. OK, He built that.
2:38:25
Yeah, so that was a fucking nightmare going up, dude,
2:38:28
because we had all those cars. Yeah, where to put them?
2:38:31
So he would have us. Dude, he worked with us for a
2:38:33
while, like where to go, stuff like that.
2:38:35
Other than like with asphalt, we'd have to move.
2:38:37
It's crazy. He had all that property and was
2:38:39
there wasn't even another building over there.
2:38:41
That was because he had bought it the whole.
2:38:43
Thing was empty and he put the first one up and then the second
2:38:45
one was like permit. Shit like that town stuff took a
2:38:49
long time. Took a long time.
2:38:51
Fuck yeah. And then even now with like.
2:38:54
You know, taxes. And shit like that, like.
2:38:56
Reassessments. And you know, yeah, he's not
2:38:59
like, like totally bad. Him and Dee really don't get.
2:39:03
Along he's not like totally, totally bad, but there's just
2:39:07
like certain things that really fucking rubbed me the wrong way.
2:39:10
Like dude, each each unit in the new building has four parking
2:39:14
spots outside. They just signed up this new
2:39:16
like soccer training facility. I met the guys that own it, nice
2:39:20
guys, like whatever. I wish everyone well and
2:39:22
whatever business they're doing, we get fucking.
2:39:25
I had I got screamed at like face to face this far away from.
2:39:29
This little Polish man. About a car that was in the lot
2:39:32
that was actually his that he had just gotten into a fight
2:39:34
with him about and he's screaming at me in front of a
2:39:37
client of mine that just spent like 8 grand.
2:39:38
That's the thing, that's that's the thing they'll do anything
2:39:41

2:39:51
He sees red and he. Doesn't give a fuck who's in his
2:39:53
territory. Who's in his path?
2:39:54
He's coming right for you. That's one thing I'll say.
2:39:56
About my landlords, they never would do that.
2:39:58
Yeah, I know your land. Yeah, they were mine.
2:40:00
Yeah, they know. Most landlords would never do
2:40:03
anything like that. I've.
2:40:03
Never had a bad running with them.
2:40:07
For whatever and we would park across.
2:40:09
The fucking St. and whatever we fucking rip it do burnout shit
2:40:14
like that. Yeah, honestly, yeah it never.
2:40:16
They don't if you're the landlord.
2:40:17
If you're getting the check. Every month on the first Yeah,
2:40:20

2:40:41
Dude. And it's like.
2:40:42
It's a lot of dope yo my customers coming to pick up his.
2:40:44
Car and he's. Parked in the.
2:40:48
Lot. And he's loading his trailer and
2:40:51
it's like, why is he getting the cops called on him?
2:40:53
Like, what? Because there's every night
2:40:57

2:41:01
50 cars in the park, 50 cars in the lot, and a dozen of them
2:41:04

2:41:07
It doesn't matter. It doesn't.

Dee, this guy's all. Right.
2:41:19
Like this guy's pretty good. Like he's easy to deal with.
2:41:22
As long as you pay him, he's happy.
2:41:23
And then like he, he got like comfortable with talking to me
2:41:26
like the same way that he would talk to Dee the first time.
2:41:29
I was like, whatever grumpy old man, like no big deal.
2:41:32
But when he chewed me out in front of my customer who just
2:41:34
spent all that money like on a fucking detail, I was like,
2:41:37

2:41:42
I don't even care. I won't even I'm not emotional.

2:42:08
The tractor trailer guy before that guy died with the green
2:42:11
tractor trailer. I was like, is he still dead?
2:42:14
I think so. Oh weird.
2:42:17
The. It was like we'd got.
2:42:19
In like an argument. And I was.
2:42:21
Like, you know how much I pay you, dude.
2:42:23
Like every month. I was like, because he, oh, you
2:42:26

2:42:27
too many cars here. I was like, they're all in their
2:42:30
spots. He's like, yeah, but it's the
2:42:32
same cars over and over again. I'm like they look like.
2:42:35
The same cars because. All you see is Subarus and
2:42:37
they're all blue and whatever. So it's like probably.
2:42:39
It looks like the same to me, but yeah, I'm there.
2:42:41
You're getting paid. What matters.
2:42:42
Yeah. What the fuck?
2:42:42

2:42:44
I. Should just and he's just and
2:42:45
I'm like you know what I. Pay right and he's.
2:42:47
Like and I was like why don't? You say something to him.
2:42:50
Who's taking? Like fucking how?
2:42:51
Many spots, whatever and he goes, you know how much he pays.

Like like his son's cool. Like Jake?
2:43:11

2:43:15
Eventually it came to that, but that's what it.
2:43:16
Can't. Do we recall the 60 year old
2:43:19
Polish man? A faggot, right?
2:43:21
Dude, the the way. It transpired he was being a
2:43:25
faggot. He was being a faggot, yeah.
2:43:26
There we go. But the way.
2:43:27
It was transpired, dude, it was the car.
2:43:28
Do you know What Car was getting picked up that H?
2:43:30
6 Turbo. 1400. Horsepower.
2:43:32
Sequential fucking car. Yeah yeah, yeah, I think I saw
2:43:34
it. That car was getting built for
2:43:35
like 7 years. Dude between cage and fucking
2:43:38
Motech custom. Harnesses.
2:43:40
And turbo kits and shit like that.
2:43:43
Dude's finally picking up his car.
2:43:44
He's the number one customer grossing of mine period.
2:43:49
Not just on that car. He's built multiple cars for me.
2:43:53
Like with me and he's picking up his car and he's like, hey, Dee,
2:43:58
he's like this guy's fucking screaming at me that he's going
2:44:00
to call the cops and you know, like why am I parked there?
2:44:03
And this is he had a he had a like a pickup truck with a
2:44:06
single trailer on like a single. It wasn't like a fucking crazy.
2:44:09
Hauler. You know, guys on the lot have
2:44:12
fucking dudes. Come and pick up or drop off
2:44:14
cars in my. Spots and I'm like I don't give
2:44:16
a fuck. Whatever, we're all here to do
2:44:17
this. We're all here to work.
2:44:18
We're all cool, you know, whatever.
2:44:20
Like, I don't care. I'm not going to berate anyone
2:44:22
for it. And I was like, what the fuck?
2:44:25
So at that point, we were him and I were like on good terms
2:44:29
for a while. Like we hadn't gone to an
2:44:31
argument. They had been almost one year to
2:44:33
the date with them from their from their last blowout.
2:44:35
OK, I was usually the. I was a mediator because I
2:44:39
obviously D's my good friend, you know, and like I was always
2:44:41
like, he's a six year old. Just fucking leave him alone.
2:44:43
Like just split up. Yeah.
2:44:45
And I would tell like I would tell the old man back, yeah, D's
2:44:48
crazy and I would tell DA he's a fucking asshole.
2:44:50
Yeah. Like, and then they'd split and
2:44:52
everything. Everyone would laugh and be fine
2:44:54
the next day. But the day that D got ripped
2:44:55
with this guy with the the crazy 1400 horse star, he like, so
2:44:59
he's, he's in a van. He drives like an Econoline and
2:45:03
and I'm. Walking down the hill from like
2:45:06
the shop to see what the fuck's going on.
2:45:08
I saw where he's parked. He's not blocking anyone.
2:45:10
Like you can get through. And he like reverses and he's
2:45:13
like in a rage and he like gets out and he's just like, and he's
2:45:18
like, I'm calling the fucking cops.
2:45:19
You can't park there. And I was like, what are you
2:45:21
talking about, dude? I was like like because he's
2:45:22
like his argument was like he's, he's in the way of the other
2:45:26
units. I'm like, I rent the 2 units on
2:45:29
this side. What do you like?
2:45:30
What the fuck? Like I can't have a customer
2:45:31
pick up my shit. So for the first time ever, and
2:45:36
I'd never done it before, I fucking started recording.
2:45:39
Because you became one of them? Yes, because you know how many
2:45:43
times I never I became a character.
2:45:46
And I'm glad I did, because. I'd never recorded before.
2:45:50
And then he would, then he. Would change his story and
2:45:53
always on the evil 1 and I don't respect give him respect and
2:45:57
anything like that. So he swats the phone out of my
2:46:00
hand and he starts getting physical assault, literally.
2:46:04
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's on camera, and there's
2:46:07
a camera. Literally on the pole that we
2:46:09
had installed, right? On top.
2:46:11
And it's just shining down on him and it's just like, and I
2:46:14
was like, don't fucking touch me, dude.
2:46:16
Like what are you doing? Like are you crazy, bro?
2:46:18
Like what the fuck are you? Like I was like stop.
2:46:21
And he's kept keeps going and he's like going back and forth
2:46:24
into his car, like like putting it in dry, putting it in park,
2:46:27
getting out, like getting like, and I was like, he's actually
2:46:30
losing his mind for the dumbest shit.
2:46:32
Crashed the fuck out. Yeah, bro, you make.
2:46:35
Between. All of us like 50 KA month at
2:46:37
this. Place like what are you?
2:46:39
What are you? So like insane for like we all
2:46:43
respect the property bro. It's not like we're not fucking
2:46:45
with anything. It's.
2:46:46
Immaculate yeah so it's we sweep outside we you know like we we
2:46:50
take care of the place it's clean it's clean yeah ish for
2:46:54
like a bunch of what it. Is and also what do you want?
2:46:59
To. And like the other other.
2:47:01
Arguments we had were like about the trailers, like he didn't
2:47:04
want the trailers parked there. And I'm like.
2:47:06
And I was like, I need a trailer.
2:47:09
Like he's like, no, I want that for for employee parking.
2:47:12
I'm like employees of who employees of like my employee
2:47:16
parking. But he's telling you he wants it
2:47:18
for your. Employees to park.
2:47:20
Why did he just fucking matter? He wants a car.
2:47:22
He doesn't want a trailer. Yeah, but I'm like if a car
2:47:25
breaks down of a customer of mine.
2:47:26
Breaks. Down and I have to go in the
2:47:28
middle of the night and get it. I need a trailer like what am I
2:47:31
going to drive to to fucking wherever to?
2:47:34
Rent a spot to. Get the at that point, why am I
2:47:36
here? So anyway, that was the blow up
2:47:40
the year prior about the trailer parking.
2:47:43
By the way, the trailers that he's complaining about aren't
2:47:45
even on his property. It's it's technically.
2:47:49
NJ Transit's property, yeah, literally doesn't even own the
2:47:52
property that he's. Bitching about and that's
2:47:53
actually what blew him up the first time because I was like.
2:47:56
Because he approached me about the trailer and I was like, and
2:47:58
I. Had I was like, I'm just having
2:48:00
a bad day and I go, it's not even your fucking property.
2:48:03
And he had just gotten a visit from NJ Transit and he lost it
2:48:07
because he was. I was like, because NJ Transit
2:48:09
just told him the same shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:48:10
So I'm like, if you, I'm like, if they have a problem with my
2:48:13
parking, tell NJ. Transit to come fucking tell me,
2:48:15
yeah. So then like he had to go to
2:48:17
court for the property and shit like that.
2:48:19
I don't even know if it's his and whatever cares.
2:48:21
Who cares? Could you still use a spot and
2:48:23
and and the story? OK, good.
2:48:25
There we go. So fast.
2:48:27
Forward So after that happened I was like I.
2:48:31
Helped. Customer.
2:48:32
Get his car in. I'm like, dude, sorry.
2:48:34
I'm like, but before anything escalates, I gotta kick.
2:48:37
Like go like go like get out like before anything crazy.
2:48:41
I don't know what the fuck this guy's gonna do in the meantime.
2:48:43
He runs over to him and he's in the corner with all the other
2:48:47
guys and a customer picking up his fucking Tundra that they
2:48:50
just did. Same guy we're we're talking
2:48:51
about about me getting ripped. Same day, same minute.
2:48:55
Oh. So you start fucking screaming
2:48:57
at him in front. Of the dude.
2:48:59
The customer and the. Other shop about you or about?
2:49:02
About about both of us. About both of us.
2:49:04
I had like 5 or 6 cars. In the parking lot that.
2:49:07
Day and I only have. 4 spots. That I did this is.
2:49:10
So ridiculous. It was he fucking crazy.
2:49:12
Hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
2:49:13
You had five. You had six cars.
2:49:14
Let's say 6. Let's say 8, Let's say 10.
2:49:17
Right the. 2 units next to you were vacant, right?
2:49:20
Yes so So what the fuck does it matter bro?
2:49:23
So nobody's even there to complain about this shit like.
2:49:26
I'm not offending my neighbors, you know what I mean?
2:49:28
Like if we were neighbors and I. I had four of my cars and four
2:49:30
of your spots. OK, this is, but there was a
2:49:33
fucking aneurysm because I'm like, he's just got problems.
2:49:36
Yeah, so dude, no, he doesn't. He just got.
2:49:38
It bro, he wants problems. He makes his own He.
2:49:42
Crashes screaming at him and my the customer's gone and.
2:49:45
I am like. You fucking?
2:49:46
I started. Screaming you fucking.
2:49:48
Faggot fucking bitch like I just start going.
2:49:52
All his employees are sitting what does he do?
2:49:55
Where is. His.
2:49:56
Place of work in that this is the number one problem.
2:49:58
That question is the. Number one problem, he creates
2:50:01
that building. And leaves himself like a little
2:50:04
2 car garage at the end of the building.
2:50:05
And he makes that his home base for his fucking dump trucks and
2:50:10
his and his box trucks and he crams all these things.
2:50:14
Dare you fucking take this spot when my employee?
2:50:20
Who fucking has can park on the curb or in any other spot?
2:50:25
He wanted to park here today. So fuck you that you pay me 17
2:50:31
grand a month, yeah? This dude just fucking.
2:50:34
Laid some tile for me it's it's really like when you.

Really break it down and I still.
2:50:39
I still do like I still like the guy you.
2:50:41

2:50:43
Like I don't care dude. Like it's like it doesn't eat at
2:50:46
me. It eats at him.
2:50:47
Though to this day, he won't. Look at me.
2:50:49
Yeah, he literally probably he was you.
2:50:51
Videos of the you. Yeah, you.
2:50:53
I know. I won. 100% the red Volvo.
2:50:56
That we were looking at before, right?
2:50:58
He's taking. The video of it and I and I
2:51:00
start and I see him lurking because he likes to go joke with
2:51:04
John because John's the funny guy and like you know, so I
2:51:07
start I see him lurking over to John and I just start beelining
2:51:11
for for John and he's so mentioned the drivers driver
2:51:15
just took off. He will not come near me.
2:51:18
But at the same time, it's like bro I, I.
2:51:21
You're, I have you on video, like literally fucking getting
2:51:23
physical with me. Yeah, For no fucking reason.
2:51:26
I'm the number one fucking dude there for 10 years.
2:51:30
I've paid like one. I've paid off your building,
2:51:32
dude. I paid off like 1.2 million in
2:51:34
rent to this guy. And I get treated like shit the,
2:51:38
the day that the soccer people had their grand opening and it's
2:51:42
like 8:00 AM, it's raining dude. And me and him are there early
2:51:46
and all like all these soccer moms commence on us and they
2:51:51
start parking in all our spots and shit like that.
2:51:53
And I look over and I see him watching it all happen.
2:51:56
The guy next door, Artex, who does like industrial flooring
2:51:59
and stuff, he had started putting cones out in front of
2:52:01
his shit because they were parking in his spots.
2:52:04
And I'm yelling at these ladies. I was like, hey, hey, hey, hey.
2:52:06
I'm like, you can't park here. And they're, they don't give a
2:52:09
fuck. They're just going on whatever.
2:52:11
I go yo, look. And he sees it.
2:52:13
He gets in his van and fucking drives away.
2:52:17
Like bro, dude, the the first day that they were open for
2:52:20
business was some like little. Old Asian lady.
2:52:22
Gets out of her car. Boom, right into the door of my
2:52:25
cayenne. I was like, you fucking have to
2:52:27
be kidding. You guys are getting out right
2:52:28
at the right right time. So the when the day happened,
2:52:31
when I the that happened is when I went.
2:52:33
On I, literally I was. Like dude, I'm done.
2:52:37
I'm done, I went on. And like I always would search
2:52:41
like automotive place for sale for rent, anything, anything I'd
2:52:46
like. And I'd gone seen like a bunch
2:52:48
of places that are just expensive, whatever.
2:52:50
I think we spoke about it last time and the that day I was
2:52:53
like, I wrote instead of an industrial or I wrote instead of
2:52:57
warehouse. I wrote commercial property for
2:52:59
sale. And that building came up and I
2:53:01
was like, and I was like, OK, I got to go see this place and I
2:53:04
went and I'm like, OK, this is like good, this is good.
2:53:08
It's fair. They were on vacation.
2:53:11
I wrote them a nice letter about, you know, whatever and
2:53:14
it, we made it work. And it was like that, like
2:53:16
pushed me to the edge and it, it, it and it was like it, it
2:53:20
was, it was a godsend moment. At the same time, he kind of
2:53:23
needed that. He needed it.
2:53:24
It had to happen because I was just like you were going through
2:53:27
the motions. I know, yeah.
2:53:29
He just needed, he just needed me back in his life.
2:53:31
We. We would.
2:53:32
I agree with that. We we talked about that last
2:53:34
time, bro, I was. Like you kind of in the air, you
2:53:37
kind of like found. Dude.
2:53:38
It's funny though dude, you got happy again after John came back
2:53:40
as well, you know? What's funny?
2:53:42
About that punching the air. They go.
2:53:44
Him the pulp, not you. You're you're so dude, it
2:53:47
happened like right after like. Rent was given.
2:53:51
In right, so then we get so then we get the rumblings like, oh,
2:53:57
rent. 'S going to increase soon.
2:53:58
Like, it was like, kind of like a oh, fuck you.
2:54:01
Like I would have been like, are you fucking sure, dude?
2:54:03
I knew what was working in the background at that point.
2:54:05
Yeah, we had been talking. He was, I told him, other than
2:54:08
my dad. And like my wife, like no one
2:54:11
knew. Like he knew no.
2:54:12
Employee knew nothing. I didn't want to say put it out
2:54:15
there, nothing. I kept it like super tight
2:54:17
lipped up until like the end, like when we were closing.
2:54:21
So as as like in my mind I'm like, they're going to she's
2:54:26
like, OK. And then, oh, October came and
2:54:29
she's like, just letting you know, next month she goes next
2:54:32
month we're going to talk about a rent increase and this, this
2:54:34
and that because the taxes are going up.
2:54:36
Yeah, OK, the taxes aren't going up.
2:54:39
The, the I'm sure they are, but it doesn't matter.
2:54:43
So I was like, oh, I'm like, OK, when they come at me with the
2:54:46
with that, I'm going to give my 60 days because by then we're
2:54:49
closing on the property like at the beginning of the month.
2:54:52
So she when she's like comes at me with the increase, I'm going
2:54:55
to be like, sorry, I can't boom. So November comes, the Closings
2:55:01
like the next day. It's all done pretty much at
2:55:03
that point. Money's given.
2:55:04
Everything like that and she. Goes, you know, she's like, I
2:55:08
think January would be good if we renew the lease with the
2:55:10
increases and stuff like that. I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm like,
2:55:13
but I'm not going to be renewing the lease anymore.
2:55:15
I'm like, here's my 60 days, here's my 60 days for the other
2:55:18
unit. He then hands in his sixty days
2:55:21
and it's just like boom, boom, boom.
2:55:23
And he was like, so then he went.
2:55:26
He started telling that was the wife, 'cause she collects.
2:55:29
The rent she's. Nice the but he keeps her out of
2:55:33
the loop. So like he'll go home and be
2:55:35
like, you can't. Like he'll tell.
2:55:37
Her that I like. Abused him or something.
2:55:39
Imagine that day. Oh, yeah.
2:55:40
Well, then he started going like on this mission of telling
2:55:43
everybody like I was throwing. Oh, I.
2:55:44
Had this rented, I knew I was throwing.
2:55:45
Them out? Really.
2:55:47
You were throwing me out? Is that why you were going to
2:55:48
give me a new lease on come January?
2:55:50
Literally going to sign a new lease?
2:55:51
Small. You're this small, you're this
2:55:54
small, and for once, you didn't. Get your way.
2:55:57
You're a slumlord and you didn't get yes, you didn't get your
2:56:00
way. I've.
2:56:02
I punked you in front of everybody.
2:56:04
I faggoted you. I fucked you off, everything.
2:56:08
And then you went and you did. And and you were gonna you
2:56:12
thought you were gonna be like, OK, I'm gonna Dimitri.
2:56:15
Dimitri just gonna be looking at that.
2:56:16
That's AW for the next year. Is it rented yet?
2:56:20
Is it rent? No.
2:56:20
Stop it. No, Dimitri's gonna make a fake.
2:56:22
Facebook. Profiles and reaching out to the
2:56:24
ME like yeah, I mean if he rents it.
2:56:28
As as someone who owns rental. Properties, right?
2:56:32
The. If you have a good tenant for
2:56:35
nine years, 10, almost 10 years, I would have said thank you.
2:56:38
No, not even about Christmas presents.
2:56:40
And never you increase, you just.
2:56:42
Appreciate that person if you. Have that and you.
2:56:45
Lose him. It's not about renting it, it's
2:56:48
about the unknown of what's. To come, we're going to go in
2:56:51
there because the tenant next to him originally was a disaster,
2:56:56
so. That.
2:56:57
That's why that unit went on went vacant eventually after
2:57:00
after a year that's like you don't know what's going to come
2:57:02
in. You had a good fucking thing bro
2:57:05
for 10 years sometimes. Shut the fuck up.
2:57:08
Not sometimes, bro. That.
2:57:09
Yeah, that whole story made no sense.
2:57:12
Yeah. Cheryl in real?
2:57:13
Life like I'm just like, you're not really.
2:57:15
Gonna see brucy. Next door they have.
2:57:18
Good tenants. They shut the fuck.
2:57:19
Up oh is the. Powder coat.
2:57:21
Guy still there? Yeah.
2:57:22
Yeah. How long has he?
2:57:23
He's been there longer before me.
2:57:25
Dude. When we were gonna take this
2:57:26
space, No problem. When we were gonna take this
2:57:28
space where it was in the air, We weren't.
2:57:30
I did not confirm anything. The whole time I was.
2:57:32
Talking to her, I'm like. It's insane for us to do that
2:57:34
right now. And she's like, OK, I was like.
2:57:37
And she'd be, she'd text me every month.
2:57:39
Hey, what do you think about? I'm like, rent it.
2:57:42
Rent it. I can't tell you if I'm going to
2:57:44
take it. Rent it next month.
2:57:46
Hey, what do you think about next month?
2:57:48
Because she knew, hey, she had a good thing she wanted me to do
2:57:51
it because she'd rather take less.
2:57:53
Yeah. And.
2:57:54
And be get you in here knowing that.
2:57:56
I'm going to care everything I'm going to.
2:57:57
Make it look like this. Yeah, like none of this was here
2:58:02
like. I remember.
2:58:03
Oh, I know. He knows too.
2:58:04
We. We.
2:58:05
Lived. Here, dude.
2:58:06
For a fucking year like we were good as a landlord.
2:58:09
Frankie would be sick. That's why they never, they
2:58:12
never say anything. I mean, Malcolm, you, you know,
2:58:15
they never come in here. And complain they never do
2:58:17
anything like oh shit if you forgot to pay your rent.
2:58:23
On the 1st and didn't pay till the 2nd.
2:58:25
Oh, I can tell you right now it. Happened last month.
2:58:27
I didn't pay for like the longest I've.
2:58:28
Ever not paid, which was like 15.
2:58:30
Days, 20 days, they know they're going to get it.
2:58:32
I text her. I text her like 5 days after the
2:58:36
first. I go, hey, she already knew
2:58:39
about some New Jersey bill I had to pay or something like a
2:58:41
couple months ago. I tell her.
2:58:43
She goes, OK, no problem. Yeah, never talk.
2:58:45
Never, Never. I get vaccinated.
2:58:48
Yeah, Because you know, well, that's happened in the very
2:58:51
beginning. Like soapbox Gearbox pennies
2:58:54
like. Whatever I had.
2:58:56
To make it work, you know like anything well, you went on
2:58:59
vacation the one time and I went on vacation this fucking guy
2:59:01

2:59:05
First was a Monday. I was back on Tuesday, I wrote,
2:59:08
I had the check written out. I just didn't give it to anyone
2:59:10
because the. Other it also isn't like they
2:59:11
have somewhere where you can mail the check.
2:59:13
They come at their own time to come collect it and you're not
2:59:16
there then I can't go put it somewhere sound like I could put
2:59:19
in a mailbox. So whatever.
2:59:20
That Monday was the first I was. Back on.
2:59:22
Tuesday, Tuesdays, I typically am in Jersey City and I I was
2:59:26
getting berated on the second. I'm like I legally have to the
2:59:30
15th, I think, or the fifth. Yeah, something.
2:59:33

2:59:35
You know, like it's like I mentioned another until
2:59:37
Thursday, like who came? Like it was you need. $3000 or
2:59:40
whatever. It's not like it's not like he
2:59:42
didn't pay it, you know what I mean?
2:59:43
OK. He's out of money.
2:59:44
He's like, yo, I need to fucking get that for It's not like they
2:59:47
built the built it like it's not like they.
2:59:49
Bought the building, they built it.
2:59:52
Yeah, it's no. There's no mortgage, there's no
2:59:54
nothing. We also had a time like, I don't
2:59:58
know, like year one there. Where like I wasn't really sure
3:00:02
how the whole. Dealership banking.
3:00:03
Thing worked you know like we use floor plans to buy cars and
3:00:07
like sometimes they auto debit the money and like whatever and
3:00:10
you know we're not working with a lot of money we're working
3:00:12
with like maybe 10 or 20 grand and that month whatever like a
3:00:16
$10,000 car got debited out of you know they extended the you
3:00:19
could extend it and they'll get take more fees out so it would
3:00:23
like. He wouldn't came down the road a
3:00:25
little bit, he wouldn't see it and he thought it was on like
3:00:27
cruise control and they would pull the the full amount.
3:00:29
It's like a credit line. But they would.
3:00:31
Pull the full amount and then he would be like, dude, what the
3:00:33
fuck we have it's like overdrafted.
3:00:35
I was like, did you extend the car?
3:00:38
He's like, no, I was like how many times we got to do this
3:00:40
John? So I had a rent check bounce and
3:00:42
they. Were like they like.
3:00:44
Came in like sat me down like I had one bounce last month.
3:00:49
Yeah, because, dude, sometimes the fucking yeah it happens
3:00:51
like. Things get pulled.
3:00:53
You didn't expect I like 10,000. Dollars of fucking Subaru
3:00:56
invoices and it's. Like they decide to like.
3:01:00
Hold it for like 2 weeks and then dump it all in at once and
3:01:04
then it's the first. And then rent.
3:01:06
Comes out. That comes out the hunter
3:01:08
fucking alignment payment comes out, insurance comes out, all
3:01:11
this shit comes out and it fucking overdrafts and you're
3:01:14
like oops. And it's like, motherfucker, why
3:01:17
didn't you kick off? Kick back the Subaru shit like
3:01:20
kick that check. Back Why did you kick?
3:01:22
Out the the rent, the rent bank. So it's like they messaged me.
3:01:26
He was. He's like Jacob.
3:01:28
Messaged me. I was like.
3:01:29
I was like, dude, I'll pay the. $15.00 fee, like sorry, you
3:01:32
know, it. It just like sometimes, like I
3:01:35
when I give them a, a check to fucking Subaru, I expect that to
3:01:39
get cashed. And usually they're good with
3:01:41
that for some reason they like withheld and like dumped it all
3:01:44
in at once. I'm like, oh motherfucker at the
3:01:45
1st of the month. So it's like, yeah, it happens.
3:01:48
You know it, it happens. It's just like it.
3:01:51
I woke up. I woke up a couple months ago,
3:01:53
face on it. We're not that rich, but I woke
3:01:56
up. Maybe like two or three months
3:01:58
ago and the gearbox bank. Account was like negative
3:01:59
$38,000 and I was like oh. My God.
3:02:03
Agree that it like TD let's that happen.
3:02:05
Yeah, I was like -38,000. You should just fucking
3:02:08
assassinate me. For that and I was like.
3:02:11
OK. And then like by the end of the
3:02:12
day, like whatever the check that I was waiting on cleared
3:02:15
and the and the wire that I was waiting on cleared and I was
3:02:17
like, oh, thank God, there's four.
3:02:18
Oh my God. There's 400 bucks in the
3:02:20
account. Yeah.
3:02:21
TDTD. Yeah, dude, the best was Chase.
3:02:24
Yeah, Chase would. Would I?
3:02:26
Would overdraft on like a Monday.
3:02:29
With like payroll everything, it'd be like -10,000 and they
3:02:32
wouldn't do shit, dude. I would literally go through
3:02:35
the, I would let it be negative and it would go through the week
3:02:38
and as I would the week, dude, it would replenish.
3:02:41
I use Chase for Soapbox. Same thing right now, dude.
3:02:44
It would replenish and. They wouldn't even hit you with
3:02:47
a fee, a $30 fee. And I'm $30.00 for your $10,000
3:02:52
holdings. Is I.
3:02:53
Would take that anything? I was like, OK, cool I.
3:02:55
Did it for years like that. Dude, I was operating on the
3:02:58
negative all the time but. It would re up okay Monday comes
3:03:01
guy picks up his bill. Fucking tunes like this that
3:03:05
people doing deposits, you know credit line.
3:03:08
Honestly, fuck the banks, fuck em, fuck em.
3:03:11
Yeah I agree it's hard. Yes, there is.
3:03:13
A party. For shit, when the shit's gonna
3:03:14
give a fuck, and when you need your money.
3:03:15
They ain't gonna have that, bro when the shit's.
3:03:17
Positive they're. They're using your.
3:03:18
Money to make money. Anyway, so fuck.
3:03:20
You shit. Though fucking.
3:03:22
Kick me out on both my accounts he operated at -10. $1000 for
3:03:26
two. Years, no, but true motoring was
3:03:28
operating but like we were. Fucking hard.
3:03:31
And it was like they. They, they got rid of both my
3:03:34
accounts. It's not like I never paid.
3:03:36
How do they get rid of that? They're like, no, they, they
3:03:38
gave me a letter and they said that the the accounts will be
3:03:40
closed this day. Pay off the.
3:03:43
Business credit cards. And they Kanye, wow, they Kanye
3:03:47
me. And they literally, they really
3:03:50
did. Yeah.
3:03:51
It sounds like. And I was like.
3:03:52
Yo, I've spent, I've deposited millions of dollars with you
3:03:56
guys, like why? And she goes, dude, I never
3:03:58
forget it. She goes the same reason.
3:04:01
You don't have to give us a reason.
3:04:03
If you close one of our accounts, we don't have to give
3:04:05
you a reason, cunt. And she hung up the phone on me.
3:04:09
She might drop you. And I go fuck this place.
3:04:11
And I went to Bank of America. Bank of America has been decent
3:04:13
to me. I'm probably.
3:04:14
Going to switch it because they don't let me.
3:04:15
Overdraft as much. Not like the way TD operates.
3:04:21
I'm going to just go to TD and just rack up with. -30. $8000
3:04:24
bro honestly he he shits on TD and I was getting to the point
3:04:27
where I was there. Shit on TDA lot yo.
3:04:29
TD sucks yo. Recently you can't send a wire
3:04:32
on your phone. Yo, you can now.
3:04:34
Oh, you can. Hold on TD.
3:04:35
Caught up a little bit. 20 grand, I think that's.
3:04:38
It I can send infinite. Maybe same day.
3:04:42
I can't have. I can't have.
3:04:43
AI can't have a what is the bank?
3:04:45
I can't have a private sell a manner and.
3:04:47
A business sell how? Wait, what?
3:04:49
Can't do that again? Can't.
3:04:50
Have a private sell and a. Business sell yet?
3:04:52
I'm pretty sure that's insane. I have a private.
3:04:54
What's your? Limit on the sell.
3:04:55
What's the most you've ever changed it?
3:04:57
What's the most you've ever selled?
3:04:58
I don't even. Use.
3:04:59
I don't even use it, so I. Don't know 5 grand is the most I
3:05:01
can sell. 25. 1000 is the most I.
3:05:04
Can sell, yeah, which is that's annoying.
3:05:06
Because I I work with, you know. Customers in different states
3:05:09
like I have clients that we. Sell, buy and sell cars from.
3:05:12
I have to be like, yo, hold on, dude, I got to go to the bank to
3:05:14
sell you. Yeah.
3:05:15
You know what's funny? So you said that one that you
3:05:18
just said that's TD experience. This is Bank of America.
3:05:21
I used to work for the company that would provide the solutions
3:05:25
that would make it so that you could wire or Zell specifically
3:05:29
for each of those banks. Bank of America, They pay an
3:05:34
astronomically large amount compared to TD to get something,
3:05:40
their banking infrastructure to be able to do that.
3:05:42
That makes sense. TD has a great infrastructure
3:05:46
too, just maybe not as much they.
3:05:48
Literally had a whole. Department.
3:05:50
Dedicated to Bank of America, TD was just another one of the ACH
3:05:53
someone customers higher up at TDI got.
3:05:56
Like I was complaining. About TD to my.
3:05:58
TD Bank Rep and they got me like.
3:06:00
To some woman who was really, really nice and she was like,
3:06:02
yeah, it's, it's because of our legal agreements with Zelle to
3:06:07
as to why we can't allow you to. Well, I don't work.
3:06:10
I don't work anymore. It was called Fiserv.
3:06:12
Fiserv runs the infrastructure behind all of that shit.
3:06:14
They they're like. It makes sense.
3:06:16
Literally it's just going to get taken over by crypto anyway.
3:06:18
Yeah, that's it. It's it's tiered so.
3:06:21
That they can provide the solution anyway.
3:06:23
So boom, there you go, XRP. XRP, yeah, XRP took a fucking
3:06:27
tank in Q3. I don't know this.
3:06:30
I don't know about this crypto thing.
3:06:31
It's fucking horrible. It's gonna take time.
3:06:34
Oh, did. You lose.
3:06:35
Motherfucker. Yeah, right now I'm.
3:06:36
Down Buy. More pussy.
3:06:38
No, that's why, Yeah. Everyone buy the dirt, Buy the
3:06:40
dirt, buy the OH. My God, I've been buying the
3:06:42
dip. Now I don't buy here.
3:06:44
Bro. Bro you were out of money buying
3:06:46
the fucking it's. Not about.
3:06:47
It's not about buying the dip because timing the market is not
3:06:50
as easy as time. In the market, asshole.
3:06:52
Bro why do you think why are you saying I buy everyone's trump's
3:06:57
in? Office could go to.
3:06:58
Thousands of. Coin Don't worry bro, it's
3:07:00
gorgeous. Just.
3:07:02
To go to thousands, I still want somewhere between 1000 the SCC.
3:07:07
SCC. Chair dies.
3:07:09
It's going to go to 1000 a coin once this happens.
3:07:12
Goes to 1000 a coin. Once this real bombs Iran is
3:07:15
going to go to 1000 a coin. This is not this.
3:07:19
Is. What is it not right now?
3:07:20

3:07:34
Still think it's going to be? Good.
3:07:36
I think the use of Solana. Will be more I yeah for sure,
3:07:41
but I think Solana. Will be like 5 or 10 grand at
3:07:44
some point in our lives. Probably, yeah.
3:07:46
And it's cool because it's like 150 bucks right now or whatever,
3:07:50
but I think that XRP is the future of digital banking.
3:07:54
Really. Oh yeah, It sounds like, listen,
3:07:58
I watch this shit. I watch it every day.
3:08:00
I I read like real news about it.
3:08:02
I don't watch like Instagram influences.
3:08:04
No, no, I like deep dive into like holes reading about it and
3:08:08
listen. If it goes, if it goes to $1000,
3:08:11
I'll still be selling cars like gearbox.
3:08:12
It's just going to be at 50s. What's driving what's driving
3:08:16
your like sales or your your market price?
3:08:19
Well, like what's your what's your draw on liquidity for
3:08:22
fucking XRP? So where do I come up with like
3:08:25
100 to $1000? Yes.
3:08:27
Like what's going to send it up to that?
3:08:29
Price real. Case usage real.
3:08:32
Usage of the coin because it's like like everyday.
3:08:35
Transactions. Everyday transactions if they
3:08:37
take over half of what Swift does, or 10% of what Swift does,
3:08:40
or. Or all of what?
3:08:41
Swift. Does they're processing like
3:08:43
billions and billions of dollars every day?
3:08:47
Like if that ever transpires and and like it works, what about
3:08:52
what about you? What do you think that like it's
3:08:54
gonna. That's what I'm saying.
3:08:56
It is a lot of ifs 'cause I. Feel like it's gotta be bro Brad
3:08:58
Garlinghouse is in the White House.
3:09:00
So so like a. Yeah, he's in.
3:09:02
The White House bro for. Three more years lower than it
3:09:05
was. When he wasn't.
3:09:09
Why? Oh God, no, John, you gotta no,
3:09:12
no you. Gotta come back up here.
3:09:13
I have a come. Back on that, OK.
3:09:15
Brad Garlin House is in the White House with Trump when
3:09:18
Trump got elected. There was a fucking boom with
3:09:20
everything. Right.
3:09:21
Because it was A and then it settled.
3:09:24
It settled, but it doesn't change the.
3:09:26
Fact that since he's been in the office.
3:09:28
Trump and I don't give a fuck about Trump, but it's not about
3:09:30
politics, but it's about the fact that Garlin Garlin House is
3:09:33
with Trump, right? He's in that office.
3:09:35
OK, it the SEC. Case is kind of.
3:09:38
Done. It's still kind of lingering,
3:09:40
but it's kind of done. It has 5 little or 7 little ETFs
3:09:44
that have brought in a billion dollars in less than four weeks
3:09:48
of, of real investors money. And it hasn't done a BlackRock
3:09:52
or JP Morgan Chase ETF yet. And it, and, and it will.
3:09:54
And that's real money, right? Like all the Franklin Templeton
3:09:57
little, like smaller ETFs that's, that's still brought in
3:10:00
a billion dollars in four weeks. It hasn't been a BlackRock ETF
3:10:05
or a fucking JP Morgan Chase ETF, but this is just like, I
3:10:08
feel like it's just an introduction for another market
3:10:11
maker that is. Somebody who's more centralized
3:10:14
market maker, it's type of shit. It's not decentralized anymore.
3:10:18
I don't give a fuck what anyone says about crypto.
3:10:19
If you still think it's decentralized, you're.
3:10:21
Smoking crack? No, it's oh, OK.
3:10:24
OK, wait, yes, I'm agreeing with you then.
3:10:26
Yeah, OK. If you think it's.
3:10:27
Decentralized. We're never gonna see a Bitcoin
3:10:29
boom right? You're never gonna It will never
3:10:31
happen again. You'll.
3:10:31
Never get Bitcoin at at 100,000 and it's gonna be worth 100
3:10:35
billion right like that. Shit's over.
3:10:37
Done. But for XRP to go from $2.00 to
3:10:40
$100 isn't unimaginable. I think that for your everyday
3:10:44
transaction use case, then we would.
3:10:47
Have to have everyday accessible like UI friendly crypto wallet
3:10:53
like that's is that a thing now that's the the the institutional
3:10:57
change right, that's people that's a big change it's a huge.
3:11:00
Change. But think about credit cards,
3:11:03
right? Way before our time, there was
3:11:05
no such thing as a fucking credit card.
3:11:07
Yeah, you had a bank account, you had checks and you had cash.
3:11:10
Yeah, credit cards happened. It took a few years.
3:11:14
Do you know anyone that doesn't have a credit card or debit
3:11:16
card? I don't know a single person
3:11:17
that doesn't have one or the other.
3:11:19
What do you think? When they go to full digital
3:11:21
currency? What's?
3:11:24
The point of XRP then? That's a digital thing.
3:11:28
Yes, but what if the US dollar becomes digital?
3:11:31
Oh, see that? I was going to get to that.
3:11:33
Like what about? They're going to do that.
3:11:35
What about a third player? Like the only thing that blocks
3:11:38
third player. Is if the.
3:11:40
Dollar the euro, the the yuan. All these other the fucking.
3:11:44
Dinar all these go digital, then I think all of them are fucking
3:11:49
moving No, but then but then there's just it's just morphs.
3:11:52
Into a different shape. Like right now you could a
3:11:54
stable coin you could get is fucking.
3:11:56
Like USDT, the whole point of XRP was that you can.
3:11:59
You can do a big amount. You can process it.
3:12:03
Across around the world, very fast, yes.
3:12:07
But if the dollar becomes that, like if they're like, hey guys,
3:12:11
everything's digital. Now.
3:12:12
The US dollar is now a digital thing which they they want to do
3:12:17
because then they you can't hide money anymore and everything is
3:12:21
here and you can't cheat taxes and whatever.
3:12:24
When that happens, you can send just like you can Wazelle.
3:12:27
You can send infinite amount of money across the world to
3:12:30
anyone's bank. XRP becomes a worthless
3:12:33
commodity. I hear what you're saying, but
3:12:36
it's not going to Oh fuck yeah, it's the dollar is just going.
3:12:40
To be dead. I think it it might be used for
3:12:42
mathematics and it's dying right now.
3:12:45
Like in front of us, it's dying right now.
3:12:47
Ripple and XRP just got their. Bank approval, right?
3:12:51
So they they will be their own bank.
3:12:53
So I think it's it's going to be like, there's not just going to
3:12:56
be like a dollar, right? Like you take a dollar out of
3:12:58
your wallet and pay for a pack of gum.
3:12:59
It's going to be like, OK, I'm sending whatever an XRP or $1.00
3:13:04
worth of XRP, XRP. But I think that they're also
3:13:06
going to have that for Solana and Ethereum and whoever else
3:13:10
does this. So just, yeah.
3:13:11
But eventually that's not going to, I don't know.
3:13:12
I don't see that. So just the ability to use.
3:13:15
I don't want to use. XRP for the rest of my life,
3:13:17
yeah. I want to be able to just want
3:13:18
to make the fuck out. Yeah, it's not going to matter
3:13:20
for us. In that case, I kind of do agree
3:13:22
with you, I think, I think. They probably will.
3:13:25
That probably will happen. They're going to.
3:13:26
They're learning as they're do, as they're building this
3:13:28
infrastructure digitally behind the scenes with all these like.
3:13:31
Fucking crazy computers that they're doing it with, they're
3:13:33
going to just drop shit on us and it's going to be how we take
3:13:36
it and how it actually works. When, if and when it does really
3:13:39
work, which is maybe it will, maybe it won't.
3:13:43
I think that anyone that has a substantial amount of money in
3:13:46
crypto will make money like I think if you have $1000, if they
3:13:50
pull out at the right time, the money like he told me to just
3:13:53
yeah, I was like, yeah, let's fucking go.
3:13:55
If it if it actually. For a while it was it gone to
3:13:58
like 350. And I was.
3:13:59
Like sick. That's a good return.
3:14:01
That was nice. Like I got in on that shit when
3:14:03
it was like just as an. Example because it I'm not a
3:14:07
traitor. There's no financial advice from
3:14:09
anybody, just bullshit between you and your friends that are
3:14:12
like you should buy this same deal as like a lot of probably
3:14:16
7080% of you guys out there. But before Japan I bought XRP it
3:14:22
was at like 2 maybe 2 flat or like 2O5 and then it went up to
3:14:28
like. 270 or. Like 260, that was a good enough
3:14:33
return for me. I was like, sweet, if you're any
3:14:36
kind of regular investor, that's a huge return on your money.
3:14:39
That's like multiple. Percentages of of O OK cool all
3:14:43
right cool. My 200 bucks was.
3:14:45
Good, that was cool. I don't know.
3:14:48
I would love to see if it did that boom that you'd say, of
3:14:51
course, 'cause it would, I would love it to.
3:14:52
It would fuck shit up again. I also don't think that like, I
3:14:58
don't think that whoever's controlling all the fucking.
3:15:01
Puppets somewhere behind the scenes.
3:15:04
They don't want us all to make money.
3:15:05
Yeah. At all.
3:15:06
No, no, not at all. You know, the market is there to
3:15:08
take your money. They don't want us.
3:15:09
They don't want to see us make money and that.
3:15:11
Part is like the. Only part that I'm like.
3:15:13
Yeah, they don't want us. But what they do do is they like
3:15:15
to see it go up to like $3 and then fucking rug that, pull that
3:15:19
rug, rug pull and then and then let it shake down.
3:15:21
And what it does is it shakes the shakes the people that are
3:15:24
not whole, it gets rid. Of the retail.
3:15:25
Trade or Well, yeah, the guy that got in at $2.00 and it went
3:15:28
up to $3.00 and he sold all of it they.
3:15:30
Want him to just make his, you know he.
3:15:32
Turned $100 into 150, he's out. They they don't want guys with
3:15:38
that that bought $100,000 worth of it like 2 years ago when it
3:15:41
was $0.30. They don't want that
3:15:43
motherfucker to have it when it's $100 because that's a lot
3:15:45
of money that they're going to pay out.
3:15:47
That's true too. So that part, that's the only
3:15:50
thing that makes me worried because I know people that have
3:15:53
currently have like 150,000 or $250,000 worth of XRP and
3:15:57
they're still holding. I'm like, damn, you're better
3:16:00
than me, dude. If I, if I had that much in XRP,
3:16:02
I'd probably be out. A buddy of mine, Diego is pretty
3:16:06
like not smart, but he's very, yeah, he's smart.
3:16:08
That's fucked. Up is savvy with things like
3:16:11
that and exploratory means in terms of finances.
3:16:16
Pretty much he'll take like a portion of his check or of his
3:16:19
earnings and put it into crypto because it's higher.
3:16:23
Even if there is a risk of a fully full loss, you full port
3:16:27
everything into crypto, you lose it, it's gone.
3:16:30
Even at that risk, it is better than any high risk savings he's
3:16:35
ever had. Totally.
3:16:36
It's way like if you look at crypto, you wanted to pull it
3:16:39
out, you're mapped like you killed it.
3:16:41
Insane, insane. I have my my old neighbor, the
3:16:44
first guy to ever get me into. Downloading like a crypto
3:16:47
wallet. Or anything like that.
3:16:48
He. Asked me for $5000 and 2000 12
3:16:52
or 13 for something called Ethereum that I never heard of
3:16:55
before. It was $0.08.
3:16:58
I did not give it to him because if I did, you probably would
3:17:00
never know me. He bought 50 G's worth of it
3:17:06
back then. He sold he.
3:17:07
He had a. He had.
3:17:08
A tow truck company in Jersey City.
3:17:09
He owned the like the, the what's it called, the junkyard
3:17:14
in Jersey City. So like anyone that got a car
3:17:16
impounded or towed or whatever, it would all go to his land.
3:17:19
He sold it for like, I don't know, a bunch of millions of
3:17:21
dollars, like ten, $20 million, something like that.
3:17:24
He took a portion of that money and invested it into Etherium 50
3:17:27
G's bro, it was $0.08. He still holds.
3:17:31
Wow, what the fuck? Well because at this point now
3:17:33
you could. But the leader got money though
3:17:35
you could bleed it out. He was already.
3:17:37
Wealthy, so he was able to watch it.
3:17:39
Rise. And then he sold his.
3:17:40
Shit his business so. He's he's OK.
3:17:43
So at this point, that shit's yeah, but that's.
3:17:45
A lot, motherfucker. You could literally bank account
3:17:47
starts with AB. You could.
3:17:49
You could literally bleed. Out little.
3:17:51
Portions of it on. Interest and you would be
3:17:54
fucking fine. He's.
3:17:55
Probably fine. He's fine.
3:17:57
He has a like a sick house now. In in in.
3:18:00
Like right outside. Lake Travis.
3:18:01
And at that point when you have all of that, where do you go,
3:18:05
little boys? Bieber.
3:18:07
Justin Bieber. Butthole.
3:18:08
There you go. It all comes back to that.
3:18:11
You better watch him. He's.
3:18:14
Like old. Now that's, yeah, even better.
3:18:18
Yeah. Epstein island dude.
3:18:19
He'll like beat me every once in a while he catch.
3:18:21
Somebody. Just wants to catch somebody.
3:18:24
Dude, he'll text me every. Once in a while and.
3:18:25
He'll he'll like have his feet up on a boat.
3:18:27
And be like, don't you wish you'd listen to me?
3:18:29
I'm like that's. Fucked up probably.
3:18:31
Do you have any kids yet? Dude, that same guy Diego was?
3:18:36
Trying to get a. He's like 1718 or younger.
3:18:39
Whatever pre Bitcoin like like when Bitcoin was used I used
3:18:43
Bitcoin to buy fake ID. I'm done.
3:18:46
So like in 20, 11 or 10? Yeah, it was nuts.
3:18:50
And he was telling us. How?
3:18:53
Years ago when that before that happened, he was harassing his
3:18:57
parents to give him like a loan for like $1000 to buy Bitcoin
3:19:03
for this thing and then it skyrocketed and now he's just
3:19:06
like every time I bought some Bitcoin in that when it was like
3:19:10
3K and then it gone to like 6 and I was like.
3:19:14
I'm out because I was like, this shit ain't never going to go up
3:19:16
again. I was on these like Internet.
3:19:18
My brothers too. He he bought like 25 grand of it
3:19:21
at like 5 grand or whatever, sold it at like. 10 he sold half
3:19:25
of it at 10 I think and he still has like 1 Bitcoin which is
3:19:29
cool. That's cool.
3:19:30
I mean no one would ever be able to explain that feeling of like
3:19:34
if imagine dude. You do something, you were in at
3:19:37
it in the lottery at the beginning like.
3:19:39
Like it is like. $100 It's gambling, let's be honest.
3:19:43
It's like we talk about. Like cars flipping cars is
3:19:45
gambling. Like we do it every day and it's
3:19:47
like a. Rush too.
3:19:48
It is totally. There's its own strategies for
3:19:50
that shit, but we're going to shut this down anyway.
3:19:53
Yeah, shut. Her down, We'll wait.
3:19:54
For John to come back. But I can't believe this is a
3:19:56
fucking. This is what we were going to
3:19:58
close on is fucking. Financial.
3:20:00
Advice. I mean non financial advice.
3:20:02
Yeah, this is a great fucking podcast.
3:20:04
Again, You guys are gonna have to come back here, like, often.
3:20:07
I love talking. About No problem.
3:20:08
We should we should talk about. I told you I was coming back.
3:20:10
You're like, I was like, no, no, Dmitri.
3:20:13
And then I was like, why not? No, that's gonna be I.
3:20:14
Didn't even know you were coming.
3:20:16
I always like to do the podcast. With the with the person whose
3:20:19
episode it is and then bring. People on after, but they're.
3:20:21
Literally, they're clearly counterparts.
3:20:23
They're like they're in the same business.
3:20:25
So it's like kind of whatever. You watch this guy shit in a
3:20:28
condom but dude. The Counterparts.
3:20:30
Yeah, exactly. You could share a podcast.
3:20:32
Yes, I agree. Jesus.
3:20:34
It's a significant. Thing I told you, it's a
3:20:36
significant story. It has to you.
3:20:38
Can't write the book of John without.
3:20:40
It's really just like the, you know what I mean?
3:20:44
Like in the Yeah. Well, one of the one of the
3:20:47
things too about this episode was the business Shit, dude, we
3:20:49
don't talk a lot. About business.
3:20:51
Stuff and I know there's people listening that really want us to
3:20:54
bro the rental stories. Dude, we need to do the I
3:20:57
remember we were talking at the shop the last podcast.
3:21:00
Someone needs to. Just get, I think, or we spoke
3:21:02
about it here maybe too, you need to get like a bunch of
3:21:05
business owners from this area together and just like talk and
3:21:10
just be like and talk about like daily life and daily like
3:21:15
business. Like, I don't want to say it,
3:21:17
but I think John should do something like that.
3:21:19
What a podcast. Business oriented podcast.
3:21:26
I feel like he should. He's got a good podcast voice,
3:21:28
dude. Frankie's.
3:21:29
Just amazing. He's a really good voice.
3:21:31
Yeah, John. That's why he got a lot of
3:21:32
chicks. He's never a womanizer.
3:21:34
But he's. He's you got some room.
3:21:36
In this new story. For a podcast.
3:21:37
Studio No. We doing a couple chairs, doing
3:21:40

And just like a bunch of. People chipping in for rent and
3:22:41
just. Having a good fucking time and
3:22:43
just a place to hang out in the winter.
3:22:45
We had those like, propane heaters, just like heating, and
3:22:48
we'd just go there and hang out. And then from there, I saw this
3:22:52
plate. I saw the cigar emporium.
3:22:54
Like, I was sitting there by myself in Belleville space
3:22:57
heater on reading the newspaper, and I saw the fucking one in.
3:23:02
Yeah, and I saw the one in, in underneath the Cigar Emporium in
3:23:08
in north in Lyndhurst. There's a driveway going down
3:23:12
and then there was like a little garage and then another garage
3:23:14
that could fit like 2 cars. Maybe the other garage could fit
3:23:16
a car. There's some space outside.
3:23:18
Downstairs was like a fucking like a room and I could, I could
3:23:22
picture that place vividly. Oh my God, this the fucking the
3:23:27
Arnold Palmer. 'S drunk the strawberry
3:23:29
shortcakes. Eaten and the fucking cigarettes
3:23:32
smoked and the FIFA played was like crazy, but why I I was we
3:23:38
were like there was like AII sat there and I was like there's
3:23:42
like this place doesn't fit like a business.
3:23:45
This is like a hangout. We got to get the fuck out and I
3:23:48
found the again I read the newspaper.
3:23:50
I was reading the newspaper by myself and I came here and
3:23:54
that's where I found this fucking place and that was it.
3:23:56
It's like, and Cheryl was like, you know, like you have
3:23:59
insurance. What the fuck insurance?
3:24:01
Why do I need insurance? And it's like Cheryl did the
3:24:04
same thing for me. She yeah, I know.
3:24:06
I already know what you're saying.
3:24:07
I was like, I don't know what. Insurance.
3:24:08
She's like, yeah, I was like, what's?
3:24:09
The company called. I was like, company, yeah.
3:24:11
It's like we're just hanging out, dude.
3:24:12
You know, she, that's why she felt the way she did about us
3:24:16
because she was like you, you guys are just hanging out and
3:24:18
I'm like. I mean.
3:24:20
Not, I don't think I ever said that, but I mean, kinda.
3:24:23
That's funny, but it's because she was going off of but then
3:24:27
because of like that, we it started, you know, we were we,
3:24:32
we. Started like we, we made the
3:24:33
name like what's like we got to think of a name, dude, like
3:24:36
what's the name? And we're like, what, what's
3:24:38
cool? And we're like, yo, best
3:24:39
motoring is like sick. And it's like, well, that
3:24:41
Japanese is fucking. And I was like, what's like
3:24:46
another name for best? And it came up with prime and it
3:24:48
was like prime motoring. And then it's like prime
3:24:51
motoring was formed. And then it's like we got a lift
3:24:54
and like, we started doing shit. And then, you know, we outgrew
3:24:57
this place. We went to railroad.
3:25:00
This is starting to teeter and how Dimitri got married.
3:25:03
Yeah. And then we went to railroad.
3:25:06
And then railroad, we got kicked out by the town.
3:25:10
And then you got the gym membership.
3:25:12
I had the gym membership and then I started.
3:25:14
Taking her to the. Gym we started going to.
3:25:16
The gym working out all right? We don't.
3:25:18
Need to blend this in love and that's it.
3:25:20
That's. It.
3:25:22
That's it. That's all she wrote.
3:25:25
And then this spot and then this spot.
3:25:27
They got carried out of there. That place was just Jacob.
3:25:30
The sun that's he's like I was. Like we got closed, dude.
3:25:33
I remember the town closed us up here.
3:25:37
They hated us, dude, because we were parking on the street and
3:25:40
shit like that and we were leaving.
3:25:42
We didn't have room. We were getting like kind of
3:25:43
busy. There's not a lot of room down
3:25:44
there. There's not a lot of room.
3:25:46
And the town fucking we built like.
3:25:49
Like next to the. Dyno there was like a a thing we
3:25:52
built a thing without like permits and stuff like a little
3:25:54
like engine room, you know, to build engines like away from the
3:25:57
dyno and stuff. And they saw it and they're just
3:25:59
like they tagged the fucking thing and they're like get the
3:26:03
fuck out and that's it. And then they went there and it
3:26:06
was like, dude, it just went crazy.
3:26:12
And that's. How we end up here.
3:26:13
Now we're going. 202 Route 4646, Hackettstown, NJ Yeah, and
3:26:20
buying the. Building and buying a building
3:26:22
which I'm. I'm stoked about fucking insane
3:26:24
and that's. Your next?
3:26:26
Yeah, that's where. You got to go and it's.
3:26:28
Great listen. It's great, but to be.
3:26:29
Here it's a it's a great, you have good, you have a good
3:26:35
landlord, so you have a great setup, but in the end.
3:26:39
Too, you got to think about. You know it's not.
3:26:41
About buying it and. It's about buying it.
3:26:44
And every month that money that you, you spend a lot of money.
3:26:46
Now here, that money goes to kind of nothing.
3:26:49
Yeah. So it, it doesn't go to nothing.
3:26:52
You're operating, you're, you're making a living, which is an
3:26:55
awesome living too, because. And my landlord doesn't suck and
3:26:57
they and they they don't take care of much at all, but they
3:27:00
take care of some stuff at the same.
3:27:01
Time too, you know, if you buy something.
3:27:04
And you pay it off. And you and you.
3:27:07
And you work and you sit on it and the business pays it off,
3:27:10
and then you sell it and then you sell it.
3:27:13
Move far away or you don't have to sell it.
3:27:15
You could. Pass it on to my.
3:27:16
My ideally for. Me is to have my kids working in
3:27:20
the business. I don't I don't I will be there
3:27:24
as I don't like. I would love to retire.
3:27:27
I always think about it, but at the same time, dude, when you
3:27:29
have kids too, you have to think about them.
3:27:31
And it's like, do I want, Like, it's not even about them wanting
3:27:35
it or not. It's like you guys gotta kind
3:27:38
of, what are you gonna do out there?
3:27:40
Yeah, come here. Put you in from like the
3:27:43
beginning. Like I was at the diner from my
3:27:45
dad had me cleaning string beans at like 5.
3:27:48
Yeah. So it's, you know, you learn the
3:27:51
bit. I I could run that place inside
3:27:52
out by the time I was 20. Years old, What do you?
3:27:55
Think we also I I agree with buying because it's like for me,
3:27:59
my number one thought. Process along with the.
3:28:01
Kids and and that being the number one most important thing
3:28:04
is we all have no 4O1K. We have no nothing.
3:28:09
That was my thing too and that's why I ended up buying some homes
3:28:12
at the beginning because I could have bought fucking.
3:28:14
Whatever, like I put so many I've, you know, I've like I
3:28:18
would penny pinch like crazy, like fucking make my own coffee,
3:28:22
make my own food, not eat out, fucking not change my like not
3:28:25
buy clothes, not fucking get haircut like that.
3:28:29
And I held every fucking penny I could to buy the first property
3:28:33
and then to buy the 2nd and so on and so forth.
3:28:35
Because I'm like, I need something because I don't know
3:28:38
where like in at least 30 years from now, I'll have like a, a
3:28:42
retirement, something, you know, you don't know how the world is
3:28:46
going to be. Or even now if I sell
3:28:47
everything, you know, like it's, I have something to like pay off
3:28:51
all my shit or if I'm in a bad situation, shit like that.
3:28:55
So like, same thing, same, same thought process with you owning
3:28:58
a building too. It's like you always have that
3:29:00
to fall back on, you know, need be or you, you, you buy it, you,
3:29:05
you, that's a good safety net. You add value to it.
3:29:10
You. You at that point have.
3:29:11
Equity in the building you can pull.
3:29:12
Out that equity, you can do whatever.
3:29:14
You want buy a bigger. Building and sell it buy a
3:29:16
bigger building or whatever. There's just so many more
3:29:19
possibilities and like there's nothing wrong with renting to
3:29:22
get you where you need to be, but it but it's also good to
3:29:25
like even now, like you see, like I'm up there and it's like
3:29:29
it's like a child like you, you you're, you know, like here,
3:29:33
like, you know, you slam something on the floor, you
3:29:34
don't care. It's like dirty or there.
3:29:37
It's like, I don't want to take care of this shit.
3:29:39
Let me clean this up. Yeah.
3:29:40
The problem is I have that mentality here.
3:29:42
That's the problem. What?
3:29:43
Cleaning. Yeah, that's good.
3:29:45
It's good. It's not a.
3:29:46
Bad thing. It also has some downsides, but
3:29:49
yeah, yeah. But you love your you love your
3:29:51
place and that's good. That's good.
3:29:53
It's you love it and. It's your child, but eventually
3:29:57
too, you want to see, think of it, you know, you, you've built
3:30:00
the business up. There's a a worth of it that you
3:30:04
can sell it for eventually, right when you own the the lot
3:30:07
to it or you own the building feels a lot different the the
3:30:10
worth of it. Skyrockets.
3:30:12
Too. John, what about you?
3:30:13
What do you think you're going to end?
3:30:14
Up doing. Is this is soapbox it?
3:30:18
I think. Gearbox, I think.
3:30:19
I think both of us want Gearbox to be it.
3:30:22
Yeah, I. Think Gearbox has less we?
3:30:23
Have so much fun yeah yeah, there there's like a every car
3:30:27
has. Its own little like story and
3:30:29
journey with. US.
3:30:30
And I think there's. Legs and I think there's growth
3:30:33
that's there and I think it like I said before like it can't be
3:30:37
replaced with AI or Amazon yeah and I think the name the name is
3:30:40
cool like the name excites like your box is a cool name like
3:30:43
we're we just have we're we're. Just having a lot of fun.
3:30:45
And it's like, dude, imagine being the dudes to like, you
3:30:48
know, we start out, we're doing Subarus, we're getting into like
3:30:50
little Porsches and here and there.
3:30:51
And then it's like maybe the Porsches turn into Lambos and
3:30:55
Ferraris, and maybe it turns into like, you see some of these
3:30:57
places that sell really sick cars.
3:30:59
It's like that's like the ultimate goal.
3:31:00
And it's like, dude, imagine coming to work and opening,
3:31:02
flicking on the lights, and they're just the sickest fucking
3:31:05
cars, all the cars you've ever wanted there.
3:31:07
I just love that it's. And you can throw a plate on it
3:31:09
and drive it home. Yeah.
3:31:10
I just love that you have the compound because that's what I
3:31:12
always wanted. Like you got, you're selling
3:31:15
cars. You're detailing, you got the
3:31:17
shop, everything. Yeah, it's sort of.
3:31:19
It like they all need each. Other, right?
3:31:21
I mean like Prime can very much do its own thing.
3:31:23
Without soapbox or. Gearbox soapbox needs gearbox.
3:31:27
Gearbox needs soapbox. They both need prime because
3:31:30
they're in there. Yeah.
3:31:33
Being all together under the same roof is like we have a
3:31:35
really good advantage. Too, Because it's like you could
3:31:37
buy a. Car that might.
3:31:40
Need an it like it's something I see something in like a Subaru
3:31:45
that a lot of people can't, a lot of other dealers can't see
3:31:49
right? So it'll go cheap because it's
3:31:53
like it has like a a problem and it's like and they're worried
3:31:56
about. It or you know, it's.
3:31:58
Like and I can fix it quickly and you know, even if we get one
3:32:02
that's a bad motor like that blue GD that we have now, it's
3:32:05
like I have a motor working for it.
3:32:07
So we'll get to it. We'll put a built motor in it.
3:32:09
We'll sell it as a prime built motor.
3:32:11
And it's like someone's going to get into a car that I can sell
3:32:15
and be like, I know this is good.
3:32:16
Yeah, I mean, I'm my mind's going right to fucking the shops
3:32:20
in Japan that are like the shops, but they also.
3:32:22
Sell cars and they'll Oh yeah yeah that one with all the GTRS
3:32:25
in front of it all that shit yeah and you don't even you can
3:32:27
start doing like it doesn't even need to be a GTR it could be
3:32:31
anything and there's. Yeah, I mean, The thing is like
3:32:33
you guys, I mean the Subaru thing right now is so perfect.
3:32:36
I know you wanna that works. I know you guys wanna buy other
3:32:38
cars, sell other cars, but Subaru's awesome.
3:32:41
It's it's such a good brand. It's such a good following.
3:32:44
People. People should.
3:32:46
Talk it, but everyone in the end loves them they're like a great
3:32:51
overall thing like you could daily it you can have fun with
3:32:55
it they're awesome enthusiasts cars yes that's exactly it
3:32:58
they're they're perfect and then like.
3:33:01
Something goes wrong with the car, you know we can fix it for.
3:33:05
The guy so it's not like sorry, dude, like you're on your own
3:33:09
like these other dealers like it's literally you sell the
3:33:11
Subaru and then you can maintenance it too.
3:33:13
It's it's like, yeah, you build, you build it, you.
3:33:16
Sell it you maintenance. There's also like a like a
3:33:19
trust. That we don't have to work for
3:33:21
when. Someone comes to us to buy a
3:33:23
Subaru because. I'm like, listen, it's a it's a
3:33:25
Subaru. It's a 10 year old Subaru with
3:33:26
120,000 miles on it. Something's probably going to
3:33:28
break, but we got prime right here.
3:33:31
So if something happens, just call us Yeah.
3:33:33
And the prime name like carries so well that that's that's
3:33:37
fucking sick. Like you could just.
3:33:39
Not saying that you can just, but when you're done with the
3:33:41
car and you badge it with prime, there is that trust.
3:33:45
That's it. That's what I've done.
3:33:46
Yeah. Like what else do you want?
3:33:48
We have like a couple different like little roads that I think
3:33:51
will. Transpire into big growth for.
3:33:53
Gearbox, and I think it should be.
3:33:54
Really good for us. They get there and everything
3:33:57
takes fucking time and everything takes fucking money
3:33:59
and nothing's easy. Yeah, so I remember I did that
3:34:02
eat sleep race podcast a few years ago and I they're like,
3:34:05
what do you? I was like, dude.
3:34:07
What I really want to do is be able to like, get a car, put a
3:34:10
motor in it, tune it and like, sell it.
3:34:15
Yeah, you're going to pay good for it, but it's like you're
3:34:19
going to get a product that I can stand behind where you can't
3:34:22
do it. Like why is your STI better than
3:34:25
this one at the same price? It's like, well, I can stand
3:34:28
behind this one because I put it together.
3:34:29
So it's that's like that's eventually that's what we've, I
3:34:33
mean, you're kind of doing that right now.
3:34:34
We're kind of doing it right now too.
3:34:36
A lot of the cars we buy like they're already built by
3:34:38
someone. Else like were you, were you
3:34:40
doing that? When you were on that podcast,
3:34:42
No, not really. It was something I we'd.
3:34:45
I'd spoken about that I. Wanted to do and that.
3:34:48
We're kind of doing it now, like not, you know, a lot of, we buy
3:34:51
a lot of built cars too that are already built by someone else.
3:34:53
And, you know, we look them over as best as we can.
3:34:56
But now you're kind of at that spot where it's like, buy a car
3:34:58
that you think you could fix up, fix it up, sell it.
3:35:01
Yeah. Like that's, that's pretty sick,
3:35:03
man. Yeah, It's, it's good.
3:35:04
It's great, actually, Yeah. I love it we.
3:35:07
Just want to keep growing, keep working.

I put it off for years and then we do 1 and we're like, well,
3:37:06

3:37:08
And then we do another one and I'm like, well, that was the
3:37:10
second funnest podcast. You know what I mean?
3:37:12
Yeah. Dmitri is like a guy you want to
3:37:15
be friends with. Not, not because he.
3:37:18
Makes hell, hell money. It's just because he's like,
3:37:21

3:37:25
of wisdom and experience and it's like, and he's that's the

3:37:59
You could tell they're very smart guys, yeah, but they also
3:38:02
know how to have fun, man. Yeah.
3:38:05
A lot of moaning on that podcast.
3:38:08
Yeah, you can't take can't. Take that out of.
3:38:10
A guy no. No matter how successful they
3:38:12
are, they'll always. Act retarded yeah so guys,
3:38:16
John's business and Dimitri's business, Prime motoring and.
3:38:20
Gearbox and soapbox. All these businesses will now be
3:38:22
in Hackettstown, NJ. So if you guys are looking to, I
3:38:26
mean, first and foremost, if you are looking to purchase a Subaru
3:38:30
WRX or STI, yeah and you plan on modifying it at all, you might
3:38:35
as well just hit them up right now and see if they got anything
3:38:38
lined up for you or if they can build something for you.
3:38:42
Because I mean, you've heard the stories on this podcast.
3:38:45
People are overpaying for Subaru St. is and they're just stock
3:38:49
and sometimes they have the wrong engines in them.
3:38:51
So yeah, you know how they were saying it's so easy to buy a
3:38:55
Tesla from Tesla? It's like.
3:38:57
You go in and out, you ask what you need, and that's it.
3:39:00
They're basically that for Subarus.
3:39:02
Yeah, for modded Subarus. I know they want to sell other
3:39:05
cars but in my head I'm just like God, I would just fucking.
3:39:08
I would just go for. It I would just start.
3:39:10
Selling Building modified Subarus and listing them and
3:39:14
selling modified Subarus like, and that's it.
3:39:16
You know what I mean? I immediately thought of those
3:39:18
shops in Japan. That's like, I forget the name
3:39:20
of the shop. I think Tommy FIA was there over
3:39:23
the summer or something. But there's some GTR shopping
3:39:26
over there in Japan that they sell all these Skylines and, and
3:39:32
they work on there too, and it's pretty much the same thing.
3:39:35
So yeah, yeah. So if you're out in
3:39:38
Hackettstown, make sure to check those guys out.
3:39:40
They're on Route 46. Pretty.
3:39:42
Major fucking. Road in New Jersey.
3:39:45
So you ever turned down Route 46 all the way?
3:39:48
I don't think so. Yeah.
3:39:49
And you don't know why you would, but.
3:39:51
It gets. Real weird once you pass a
3:39:53
certain point. It's Amish.
3:39:55
I don't. Know about Amish but I mean I
3:39:58
guess it gets. Because like over here, it's
3:40:00
fucking packed. You know, by the airport and
3:40:03
everything. Yeah.
3:40:04
And then you start going down there and it just becomes like a
3:40:06
desolate, like farm lands. Yeah.
3:40:09
Kinda. So by the time you're in
3:40:11
Hackettstown, yeah, it's probably just like that.
3:40:13
But you should ride the. Bikes down 46 we should
3:40:16
definitely go out there and hang out guys, if you think John
3:40:19
should have a podcast, let. Him know because I told him he
3:40:20
should. Dude, he has.
3:40:21
Such a radio. Yeah, yeah.
3:40:24
He didn't matter where he was on the mic.
3:40:27

car people are. Interesting.
3:47:21
Yeah, I mean, that's just. That's how it goes, bro.
3:47:23
You're in the garage all day, you working on cars, you come
3:47:26
inside, you get beat up by your wife or girlfriend.
3:47:28
That's it. That's how it goes.
3:47:29
So if you're trying to get at least one aspect of your life in
3:47:32
order, let's start with your health.
3:47:34
AG 1 is going to be your daily foundational nutrient, you know,
3:47:42
drink. Yeah, I was wondering, I was
3:47:44
thinking about this earlier. I.
3:47:45
Was like what do you even call? That, yeah, that they put it the
3:47:50
best, a daily foundational. Nutrition.
3:47:55
Nutrient. Nutrient Supplement.
3:47:59
It's a supplement, but. At the same time, it's something
3:48:02
that. You do every morning.
3:48:03
So it's like, it's like drinking coffee or something.
3:48:05
It's like that's the first thing you do every morning.
3:48:07
Yeah. So AG one's basically got
3:48:10
probiotics. It's got, I believe there's
3:48:12
greens in there. I don't know if they want me to
3:48:13
say that or not, but I think there's some greens in there.
3:48:15
There's some other stuff in there.
3:48:16
There's matcha in there. You read the back of that thing,
3:48:18
Eddie. There's matcha in that thing.
3:48:19
I didn't even know. I like that.
3:48:21
I probably don't, but I drink it every morning and it's got a lot
3:48:26
of vitamins in it. So me and Malcolm been how how
3:48:29
have you been feeling with it? Feeling great.
3:48:31
I I recently ran out so I'm really thinking about.
3:48:36
Hell, I might use our own code and order some more.
3:48:38
Yeah. So yeah, do that.
3:48:41
I'm going to. I'm waiting for the month.
3:48:44
Like, because right now I'm at like day 12 and it's fine.
3:48:48
I mean, I know, I know. Like I I started taking this
3:48:51
instead of my multivitamin, so you know, I'm I'm just using AG
3:48:55
one. I can tell you one thing.
3:48:55
I keep saying it but dude my shits have never been so like
3:48:59
whole and releasing. Releasing is crazy but yeah.
3:49:04
Look me in the eyes and tell them it doesn't.
3:49:06
You don't feel? Relieved I'm closing my eyes
3:49:09
right now. I'm.
3:49:10
Not looking you in the eyes and saying that, but yeah, it's.
3:49:13
My shits have never been folder. Thank you AG 1.
3:49:16
I don't know if they want us to like, talk about that.
3:49:19
There was nothing in the notes, right Eddie?
3:49:20
There's nothing in the notes about about not talking about
3:49:22
your shit. But yeah, no, it's got to be
3:49:26
fiber. They it must have fiber in it.
3:49:28
Like, well, it's all, it's everything.
3:49:29
It's the the vitamins, the fiber.
3:49:32
Yeah, they haven't shit like this since I was. 13 years old
3:49:35
and you know what the only difference is?
3:49:38
And you know the only difference is why are you laughing?
3:49:41
And you know what the only difference is?
3:49:43
I used to eat cereal every day. The fiber.
3:49:48
Fiber, fiber. Fiber, yes.
