0:00
What's going on everybody? Welcome back to another episode
0:02
of the After Hours podcast. On today's episode we have Reece
0:05
Marin local club, loose legend and formula drift judge.
0:11
Reece Marin has been a long time friend of mine pretty much since
0:13
I got into drifting and he's already been on this podcast
0:16
once. So if you want to hear a little
0:17
bit of his back story, I would go check that episode out.
0:20
We we really just hung out on this episode and just
0:24
bullshitted. Reece was picking up his car.
0:25
He just got aligned here and some other work done.
0:28
So we we got into some some interesting topics this time
0:33
around. We were talking about kids at
0:34
one point and how you can drift and have a family and this and
0:38
that. It was a definitely a different
0:41
route we went but very a very fun episode.
0:44
Reece is an awesome guy. So thanks for coming out guys.
0:47
Don't forget we are doing a Stance XR1 giveaway on our
0:50
website this month. So every $5 spent on our website
0:53
gets you one entry to win a set of toilovers.
0:56
And if you buy any merch, it's double entries.
0:59
Before we jump into this episode, I just want to give a
1:01
huge thank you to our sponsors. This podcast is sponsored by
1:04
East Coast Drift School. East Coast Drift School is a
1:07
driving school focused on learning the art of drifting,
1:10
conveniently located at the greatest drifting facility in
1:12
the United States, Raceway Park in English Town, New Jersey.
1:16
Raceway Park currently has three tracks, so you will have a few
1:19
options to choose from when setting up your lessons.
1:21
Chris Knapp, who is part of the Raceway Park family, will be
1:24
your teacher as he guides you through car setup and technique.
1:26
If you are more of a seasoned driver, E Coaster School is also
1:29
the place where you can get some extra seat time.
1:31
Chris allows private track time with no instructing as well so
1:34
that you can get some tests and tune runs in before that big
1:37
event or competition you have coming up.
1:39
Instead of spending the night dodging the police with your
1:41
boys, consider signing up with E Coaster School the next time
1:44
they release their schedule. Chris releases schedule on the

Chase Bays has been a household name in our industry for over 15
2:00
years, supplying us with tons of fluid power products such as
2:04
power steering cooler kits, oil catch cans, engine oil coolers,
2:08
hydraulic handbrake kits, and of course their dual piston brake
2:11
booster delete kits which fit a wide variety of vehicles.
2:15
The core values of Chase Bays is function, simplicity, quality
2:19
and aesthetic. All of their products are user
2:22
friendly and easy to install while of course looking the
2:24
part. The quality of their products
2:26
has only increased over the years and now with Front Street
2:29
Drift Club being a sponsored team of Chase Bays, you can
2:32
guarantee the products are stress tested as well.
2:35
I'm currently digging their compact intercooler sprayer
2:38
reservoir kit. This kit includes a pump and
2:40
pigtail to wire it up to any switch you want.
2:42
I've been a big fan of sleek looking OEM style intercooler
2:45
sprayers ever since Subaru had one on the STI and this kit
2:49
provides you with what you need to get started.
2:52
If you need any more info on any of their products, make sure to
2:54
take a look at their product descriptions.
2:56
They have some of the most detailed descriptions I've read
2:59
with tons of information. You can check out Chase Bay's
3:02
products and place your orders directly on our website at
3:04
factionmotorsports.com. And make sure to use the coupon
3:07
code Chase Bay's After Hours with no spaces to save on
3:11
checkout. This podcast is also sponsored
3:14
by Automotive Specialty Wraps. Automotive Specialty Wraps is a
3:18
company specializing in paint protection, film vehicle wraps,
3:21
ceramic coatings, and window tinting located in Fairlawn, New
3:24
Jersey. Owned and operated by car
3:26
enthusiasts and Drifters, their technicians have over 10 years
3:29
of experience in the industry. Ceramic coating is one of their
3:32
specialities and is the service they offer that caught my eye
3:34
first. In the 60s, NASA and the US
3:37
military formulated a ceramic coating to be used on spacecraft
3:41
and planes. This coating would be able to
3:43
protect them from harsh conditions.
3:46
Following that, in the early 2000s, ceramic coatings were
3:49
revamped to be used in the automotive industry.
3:52
These coatings give your cars paint extra protection while
3:55
also making it shine. Wax only last for a couple of
3:58
weeks at most, but ceramic coatings last for a year or
4:01
longer. They perform a full 2 stage
4:03
Polish to the car beforehand to make sure the vehicle is in
4:06
perfect condition before applying the coating.
4:09
This service can also be applied to wheels, which would be the
4:11
best thing you can do to a new set of wheels you just picked up
4:14
if you are looking to protect them for years to come.
4:16
As mentioned, they also offer window tinting and paint
4:19
protection film installations. Now everyone knows what window
4:22
tinting is, but these guys offer carbon or ceramic tinting
4:25
depending on your needs. Paint protection film or PPF is
4:29
a great idea for those new vehicle owners that want to
4:31
protect their paint before it gets chipped up driving down the
4:34
highway. I always suggest having at least
4:36
the front end done in PPF like the front bumper, fenders and
4:41
hood. ASW is now offering mobile
4:43
detailing and this is no basic car wash, it's more of a 2 hour
4:46
spa session for your car using special soaps designed to
4:49
extract toxins out of your paint.
4:52
And the best part is they will come to your house, job or even
4:55
our shop when your car is being serviced to get the wash done.
4:58
From protecting your tow rigs exterior to full delivery
5:01
installations on your drift car, they have you covered.
5:04
You can contact them at automotive specialtywraps.com
5:07
and make sure to mention our podcast.
5:09
They are currently offering 10% off mobile washes and tinting
5:12
services for our listeners. Limitless Auto Fab is a
5:15
fabrication shop and retailer located in Illinois.
5:18
They produce bash bars and catch cans for a bunch of popular
5:21
models in the drifting community.
5:23
We started selling their products earlier this year and
5:25
have heard nothing but great things since.
5:28
Limitless Bash bars are honestly the industry standard right now.
5:30
Fabricated from inch and a half mild steel tubes, these bars are
5:34
designed to take the impact of light collisions in order to
5:36
avoid or minimize damage to your body or frame.
5:39
My favorite part about these bash bars is that they are
5:41
designed in a way that helps hold most aftermarket bumpers up
5:44
at the correct height, unlike a lot of other aftermarket bars
5:48
that require you to either Weld additional brackets on or
5:50
install those big foam rubber pieces to raise the bumpers up
5:54
to avoid bumper sag. This is a huge pet peeve of mine
5:57
when installing bash bars at the shop, so I'm really glad about
6:01
this feature. John, are the days of trying to
6:04
keep your rusty rear factory crash bar because you are
6:06
worried about bumper fitment issues with an aftermarket one?
6:09
Their bars also come with jacking points and optional
6:12
license plate brackets, so everything you need is right
6:15
there from the start. Limitless Auto also sells catch
6:17
cans for a handful of specific models.
6:20
These cans are built in house and chassis specific.
6:23
We have used these cans before in the shop with no issues and
6:25
they look great as well. The guys over at Limitless are
6:29
on social media as well at Limitless under score Auto under
6:32
score Fab. So please make sure to check out
6:35
their Instagram and give them a follow.
6:36
They post photos of all the drift cards using their products
6:39
from Front Street Drift Club to Animal Style.
6:42

6:45

8:44
pretty early. And to be honest, that first
8:47
podcast was a really good podcast because you we got we
8:51
learned a lot of shit about you like your whole back story.
8:53
Dude, I didn't know St. Drifting.
8:55
Yeah, yeah. All that shit.
8:56
I actually, yeah, that was a pretty pivotal podcast because
8:59
now I there's like so. Much more like, you know,
9:02
because there's only so much you can think about.
9:03
Like on the way home, I was like, there's a story.
9:07
That story. That's going to happen this time
9:08
too. Well, thanks for coming on.
9:10
This place is a lot more different, obviously and.
9:12
Yeah. This is the we was just shooting
9:14
the shit because what were we talking about?
9:15
Oh, you wanted to talk about it on the podcast?
9:19
Grind the movie. Yeah, so you.
9:21
Watching you were watching. I was watching it the other day.
9:23
I was watching it the other day and I was like, how come there's
9:25
not a drifting movie like Grind? They're kind of.
9:30
Mad. What are you going to say?
9:33
There's that bullshit movie. Right.
9:35
Oh, wait, no. That fake Fast and the Furious
9:38
movie. Like Tokyo Drift?
9:40
No, that's not Malcolm. Can I get some volume in my
9:43
headphones or? Thank you.
9:45
Thank you. Turn my mic on.
9:46
Turn my mic on. Yeah.
9:47
Thank you. Thank you man.
9:48
BRV. But in in grind, that's one of
9:51
the thank you Malcolm. By the way, that movie is one of
9:55
the maybe 4 movies where I could play it in my head sitting down.
9:58
You know what I mean? Like the scene where you it
10:01
opens up. He's fucking skating through the
10:03
high school and shit. Right.
10:06
Weird details in that movie. I remember the punch buggy shit
10:09
where they punched. What did they call it?
10:11
Sluts. Slug bug.
10:13
Slug bug, yeah. Dude.
10:15
Quiz me on anything on. Slug.
10:17
Bug No quiz me on anything on that movie.
10:21
I fucking that killer soundtrack.
10:23
Too. I like it because of the bro
10:24
vibes and I'm like anytime you go on a drifting trip ending and
10:28
anytime that's how it was. Yeah, well, at.
10:31
Least how it used to be. I don't.
10:32
I mean, I'm assuming still it is.
10:33
It is when you're with the right group of people, like you're
10:35
with your friends and like something as OK.
10:39
There's a scene in that movie where they fucking literally
10:42
have to scheme for the food because they're buddy ran.
10:45
Oh yeah, when they get into the. They go into the garbage can,
10:48
get a receipt, they go up and they're like, hey, yeah, I
10:51
didn't get any of this. Do you think anybody ever tried
10:53
that someone? Yeah, 100%. 100%.
10:56
That's a good idea. It's got the the the the
10:58
thoughts got to come from somewhere like the scene.
11:00
Now let me take a wild guess. Malcolm never saw this movie.
11:05
Malcolm Skate like no, it's a skateboarding movie for those of
11:08
you who don't know this. Movie.
11:09
Well, you know what I mean, We brought up.
11:10
Can we play the trailer would be get in trouble.
11:12
For yes, we will get in trouble for that.
11:14
Dude, they watch. Trailers.
11:15
Are broken all the time. He's a.
11:16
Fucking. Sophie, it's more of a bro.
11:19
It's more of a bro movie than a skate movie.
11:21
Yeah, it's okay. So if I had to summarize it up,
11:23
it's like four friends, three friends that go that are very
11:28
different. Obviously it's like Rd.
11:29
Trip, but everybody skateboards. Literally like road trip, but
11:32
you add skateboards and the the conflicts are not really that
11:36
high. They don't really run into
11:39
anything bad. Yeah, ever.
11:41
It's the it's the best movie. It's great.
11:44
The the plot one of my favorite the.
11:45
Plot is just yeah, A-Z. You know every answer to the
11:49
questions that show up. You know the soundtrack is
11:53
sweet, Impeccable. Sweet Lou, dude.
11:56
So when I went to club, when I went to club loose and you guys
11:59
told me about somebody named Sweet Lou there.
12:04
That's. Immediately what I thought it
12:05
was, I was looking around looking for some dude with
12:07
fucking. Little different, but a little.
12:09
Different He's the one who failed me for.
12:10
That is just as sweet. Yeah, as I'm saying as.
12:13
You're just as sweet. He failed me.
12:15
He's a really nice guy. Sorry bud.
12:17
Look man, I'm sorry, but. With his mustache like that.
12:22
Mustache that was actually. Kind of a good impression and
12:24
you only met him like. One time I don't know what his
12:26
voice sounds like at all. And weird.
12:28
He's awesome. This is going to fucking get to
12:29
him and he's going to be like a fucking asshole.
12:32
But mustache. And not for nothing, he had his,
12:35
like, no shirt on, so he had a little bit of a belly, Yeah.
12:38
God damn, he had his dad bog going, dude.
12:40
Yeah, he it demands authority. I did just follow him on it.
12:45
I saw him on Instagram so I clicked follow and I was like
12:48
damn. Like I never knew who this was.
12:52
Like I never, I don't know if we've ever met.
12:53
We should have him on the podcast.
12:55
We I'm trying, I've been trying for a couple.
12:56
Years. I think he's a Family Guy.
12:58
It's hard to get when you have. He's a dad now.
13:01
Yeah, when you have a spawn like you're not going to.
13:03

17:08
The currency. I don't know, I just, I pulled

17:17
Don't know. Yeah, I guess we could go to the
17:19
drift thing. It's the boring stuff.
17:20
They, they, they could care less.
17:22
I was like, oh, there it is. There's a little clip.
17:24
Yeah, there's Here's a clip. Welcome to Forza Horizon.
17:29
This is literally what I'm picturing right now the the the
17:32
voice over. So yeah, I went out there.
17:34
I had a judge with one of the judges from Drift Spain and then
17:38
one of the other judges from Drift Portugal and then I think
17:43
like Jake, Jack Shanahan came out, Kieran came out from
17:46
Ireland or like another competition that was going on
17:49
like the week after or a different day than us.
17:53
So it was good. It was a big festival.
17:55
It was like a one of them was EDC European Drift Championship.
18:01
Oh, I was like, OK, is this? Yeah.
18:05
So yeah, it was cool. It was out there.
18:07
It was comp. It was it was in a big.
18:09
I feel like this this we're watching right now is a
18:10
takeover. Yeah, that's that's a different
18:13
portion. Oh, they're just showing you
18:14
different. They utilize the space for.
18:16
Oh, they call it look. They call it freestyle drifting.
18:19
Yeah, I don't know what that. I think that's their way of
18:21
saying takeover. I mean, maybe that's what it yo.
18:24
They did it right though. Yeah.
18:26
That, yeah, nobody. I don't see anybody getting.
18:28
Like yo look at. The back of a car there.
18:30
Yeah, it was wild. There's there's a drift there.
18:32
Spiritual drift event. There it is.
18:34
Yeah. It's the wall.
18:36
I mean, it's the New Jersey racially park.
18:38
Yeah, it it definitely gave that type of vibe, Yeah.
18:41
When I was there. So you knew what to do already?
18:43
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:44
What kind of car did they have you piloting over?
18:47
There no, no no no. I just judging.
18:49
I know you got to head definitely.
18:50
No, no, no. I got the driving Dubai but not
18:53
there. I got to drive at this place
18:55
called Drift Home and they let me RIP G37 and E36 and like
19:01
right off the RIP and I posted those I posted up on on
19:04
Instagram. OK, so those might have been the
19:05
clips. Yeah, the clips where I was
19:06
like, yeah, with the the meta glasses.
19:09
Yeah, the meta glasses for the. One you fuck with them.
19:11
Wait, what is that? Yeah, the glasses that recorded.
19:14
Yeah, yeah, I see. All of the yeah, last time I saw
19:16
them. You've been using them for
19:17
fucking. Nice, nice, I mean.
19:21
I'm so out of it I don't get. The joke?
19:25
Dude, I feel like that was more of your speed back then.
19:27
There was a. What but?
19:29
Go. Go for.
19:30
Filming. Yeah, yeah.
19:32
That's the whole. Oh, for having sex, I get it.
19:34
You're filming while you have glasses.
19:36
On all working on the. Car 3 minutes.
19:37
At a time. Yeah, 3 minutes.
19:39
I'll get her done in 33 minutes, don't you worry.
19:41
Maybe a few times, dude. Fucking that's not much.
19:44
That's a lot that's got the world.
19:46
Yeah, but all, all the mountain footage is, is pretty much on
19:49
that dude. That's kind of cool.
19:50
And the it's literally your eyes.
19:52
So like, you know, if you're, I'm looking around.
19:55
Before I was just putting my phone like like in my huh?
19:59
No, you're not. Yeah.
20:00
No, you're not. No, you're not.
20:02
Yeah. Oh no, that's good to.
20:04
Swear to God I was just like, let me just throw it in there
20:06
real quick. So it was like right in front of
20:08
your. Mouth.
20:09
What do you think it was? Like Reese is just using his
20:11
lips to like. No, because you know how like
20:13
when you put that, when you put some of the helmets on, it's
20:14
like really tight. Yeah.
20:16
So like I kind of wedged it in. I'm like, oh, it fits right
20:18
here. So I like covered it up and I
20:21
did that for like, I don't know, a couple months and I'm like,
20:23
I'm just going to get my glasses.
20:26
Then I got the meta glasses and I was good.
20:27
I don't know how you but but no, you're literally saying, but did
20:30
you not like the footage? Like I bet you can't even tell
20:32
the footage. Hold on.
20:33
Let me see. Hold on.
20:35
Yeah, It would be like this. Yeah.
20:38
I don't like this at all. You can't drive it.
20:40
Try it. Try it.
20:41
It looks weird. It looks like you're.
20:43
Yeah, but you got a helmet on you right here.
20:44
Yeah, you could do it. I guess I don't know why
20:49
nobody's ever. I'm not saying do it now, I'm
20:51
now just go get the meta glasses.
20:53
Yeah, I see. Are those like the Ray Ban
20:56
looking things? Yeah, okay.
20:58
Yeah, a lot of Drifters got them.
21:00
Now what I like. About it is if you stream or
21:02
whatever I think it can stream, can just stream.
21:07
Yeah, I think for IG, for IG and.
21:10
So you're getting direct radiation straight to your
21:12
brain? Yeah, all the.
21:13
Time. I don't know how that works.
21:15
How can? You play something.
21:16
We're all going to get cancer. So how do you you're recording
21:18
when you're recording? It doesn't.
21:19
No, no. But like, let's say you're
21:20
playing music. How do you, are there speakers
21:22
in it or something? Yeah.
21:23
Yeah, OK. Wait, where are the speakers?
21:25
Yeah, they're in the. Like the frame?
21:28
Yeah. Whoa.
21:29
So I'm just sitting around you like I'll have it on.
21:31
Yeah, I'll have it on like, as you know, on as in like it's
21:35
waiting for a command. And then if I'm just like on the
21:38
line waiting to go and they're like, all right, go.
21:40
I'm like, hey Mehta, start recording and then it records.
21:43
That's it. And then when it's done
21:44
recording, I'm like, head him, Hey Mehta, stop recording and it
21:47
stops recording. What do you do when you when you
21:50
fall off the mountain? You fuck, fuck Mehta, stop
21:53
recording. Fuck.
21:55
He's fucking upside down and shit.
21:56
I feel like Mehta would just keep on talking like.
21:58
What did you say? We did not understand your
22:00
command like and you. Just kind of feel like I want
22:03
those real bad. Yeah, I think you should get
22:05
them. Honestly, at this point, I feel
22:08
like the next version of them or is going to be Jarvis is going,
22:13
I don't know, it's going to be that much better.
22:15
Yeah. So like, no, no, no.
22:17
I mean, they're cheap now, right?
22:18
They're cheap now, right? They're 2. 100 something 300
22:20
bucks. That's crazy, I get them with
22:22
transitional lenses so it's like it was I think it was 4 when?
22:27
I I would look so fucking cool with those.
22:29
On right now. I'm.
22:30
Just the next version is going to be your eyeball, so I don't
22:33
know if you want to wait for the update.
22:34
I think the next version is going to have something in it.
22:38
I want it to be AR where it's like like it's.
22:42
Augment that's augmented reality, so it's shit's like
22:45
yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like I'm picturing like I'm.
22:47
Pretty much I'm trying to be like the Super Saiyan.
22:49
Yes, yes. That's exactly what I thought
22:51
that it did. So you would like to be the
22:53
Terminator or something like? No, no.
22:55
I'd rather be Vegeta. Yeah, but that's, that's a,
22:57
that's a natural ability. No, it's not they.
23:00
Have a scale to get a scudder. That shows you how much of A
23:03
nerd I am. Yeah, it's.
23:05
A scudder, but it doesn't. Display anything in the lens,
23:08
right? Like, I can't be like, hey,
23:09
Jarvis, what's the weather? On the bed of glasses right now,
23:13
Yeah. No, no, no.
23:14
OK. God damn.
23:14
Oh no. If it was like that, I'd be
23:15
geeking. That would be so.
23:17
Cool, like a heads up. I'm down.
23:18
That's what I think is going to be next.
23:21
I think I think so. 'Cause when I, when I play on
23:24
Aceto with the Oculus, that's I'm some days I'm like, this is
23:29
really fucking wild that I get to do this.
23:32
Yeah, not as of recently now though.
23:34
The fucking I want to drive my real car.
23:37
It's so cold and fucking sad. Well, I mean, I was going to
23:41
until I until I broke the rats up.
23:46
Is that what you got done? No.
23:48
No, I brought it here so I can have an alignment done because I
23:51
got those wheels on it and I was like, all right, let me go get
23:54
here, get it all done up and a couple other things.
23:57
And then I ended up like taking it off the trailer.
23:59
The trailer's ramp came off and then I slammed the rat support
24:02
and I broke it. You're like the whole piece,
24:05
bro. And I'm like.
24:07
I thought it was like an under panel or something and.
24:10
Then I looked again, I'm like, oh shit, yeah.
24:13
And it's like 300 bucks or something.
24:15
So it's. The fact that you can get it is
24:18
pretty pretty. Good.
24:19
Are those guys going to get it for you?
24:21
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They hit me up and they're like,
24:23
yeah, just let me know. And then I have to set up, you
24:25
know, want to set it out and. Stuff and these guys.
24:27
What was the name of these guys? Cool, SAC City.
24:29
I know SAC. SAC City SAC City, SAC.
24:32
City out of parts. They all have all the VQS and
24:34
stuff like that. They sponsor one of the guys who
24:36
are in in FD. It's been FD.
24:39
How's that? How's that going They?
24:40
Got Oh yeah, Yeah. By the way, you're a judge for
24:42
FDA. Yeah.
24:44
Because, like, yeah. Well, the last time I was here,
24:46
I was like, oh, you know, it'd be kind of cool to become a
24:48
former Drift judge. Yeah, it haven't.
24:50
No, you, you had something in there.
24:52
I had no idea. I had no idea.
24:54
I didn't. I really didn't have any idea.
24:56
And I don't even think it was even a thing until like, I
24:59
walked up to Ryan Sage at the the banquet and I was like, yo,
25:06
like, we should make this happen.
25:07
Yeah. I think that's when it really
25:08
was like, oh, are you for real? Damn.
25:10
So that was way after me coming here and talking about it.
25:16
He manifested. It.
25:16
I know. Seriously.
25:18
Yeah, I believe in that shit. Yeah.
25:19
Well, it works apparently. So yeah, definitely keep doing
25:22
what you're doing that. That's amazing.
25:25
Yeah, it's rad. It's it's it's cool.
25:26
It's definitely, it's different from being like now like an
25:30
official. Yeah.
25:32
I mean, that's like about as as official as our sport kind of
25:36
gets. Yeah, it is.
25:36
You officiate the official. Thing yeah for the for that type
25:42
of driving yeah yeah like I I definitely been a little bit
25:45
more vocal saying like there's a there's professional competition
25:49
drifting but there's also like professional driving that's not.
25:53
I'm going to quote a breeze on this because when we did the
25:55
Gambler, the Casino Royale thing, you had a lot of fun and
26:01
you like the 235 thing versus the unlimited thing.
26:05
Yeah. I think I had the slowest car
26:07
there. I was pushing maybe 2:40 to the
26:12
wheels. If not the slowest, suck the
26:16
slowest. Wasn't there like KA or
26:18
something? Yeah.
26:19
Because because there. Was AKA car there that white?
26:22
Yeah, he got you. Beat there and that guy's good
26:24
as hell I heard. He almost I had to.
26:26
Go against Mike Nab. Mike Nab slaughtered me.
26:29
I was like, yeah, what am I going to do?
26:32
Did he buy? Didn't he buy the overs the
26:34
other week? Yeah, Hell yeah.
26:35
Frankie Beans just showed up. I ran into him out.
26:38
He was like, I want to show you this tag.
26:40
Let me know if this looks familiar to you.
26:42
I'm like, I don't want to sound smart here, but I think that's
26:47
an origin tag and we got those. Let me ask Malcolm.
26:51
Yeah, no, he got them. I mean, he only he only owns the
26:54
track Reese. So like, I mean, you know that
26:57
that's a pretty solid guy to lose to, I think.
26:59
Yeah, his, his one Jay-Z or whatever was in it.
27:02
Like kicked my ass. I was like, damn, all right,
27:04
that was a fun. Time if you.
27:05
Lost a flag that was so fun and I had no, I was like, there's no
27:08
way I'm I can maybe get past one person, you know?
27:12
And then I was like, after that you're just you look who's
27:15
there. Everyone showed up with like,
27:17
not, not the stuff, you know what I mean?
27:19
Like I'm like, God, where's this VA coming from, bro?
27:23
I was like, but I get it. It was it wasn't a serious
27:26
thing. So it was just cool to go out
27:28
there and just kind of show people that you can just thrash
27:30
and it doesn't. Matter you were.
27:31
You've been trying to set up a drift event like that for a
27:34
while. Yeah, it's just easier now to
27:36
just go to them, yeah. He he always would call me and
27:40
be like, I'm like, why would I do like a street series?
27:42
You know, like it's and it's to gauge like I don't like the wild
27:46
grippy like and it's I know it's ironic because like I judge
27:49
formerly. Drift, I was about to say that's
27:51
like what they do. There is is literally pioneer
27:54
that grip sheet and then it trickles down to us.
27:56
But it's a job. US plebs.
27:57
Yeah, it's a job. But it is cool that the FD judge
28:03
drifts. Yeah, is.
28:05
I don't know. It hope so.
28:06
Now, I don't know if I'm Speaking of like I don't.
28:08
Do the other ones drift? Yeah, yeah.
28:10
They do OK. It'd be weird if you weren't a
28:12
part. Of I'm just, I'm just a lot.
28:14
You just see a lot because I'm way more available.
28:16
I mean, do you have kids and families and.
28:18
Stuff Yeah, yeah, their. Lives and future.
28:20
Yeah, their lives are way more complicated.
28:22
Yeah. Like I wake up and I'm like,
28:24
what are we doing today? You know, they don't, they don't
28:27
got that. They wake up and it's just like,
28:29
I don't know, Dad, mom, you know, like, like real shit.
28:32
Yeah, you know, like, you know, like we'll have to remodel my
28:35
house or something. I don't know, like shit, we got
28:37
that shit. We.
28:37
Dude the the sink in the kitchen is going nuts.
28:40
We got to have to fuck it, not do the drifting thing this
28:43
month. Yeah, but not even a not even a
28:46
conversation that I've ever had in my life, you know what I
28:50
mean? Like.
28:51
I, I kind of like, how do you feel about that?
28:53
Do you like where you are in life?
28:55
Because I'm the same as you and I feel pretty content about not.
28:59
About about kids. Yeah.
29:02
Talk about, talk about a subject we don't talk about a lot.
29:05
Yeah. I would like to get your.
29:06
I would like to get this out there.
29:07
You too can talk about this and I want to listen.
29:09
So I think, I think you, I don't think I can do what I'm doing.
29:17
If I had a kid, Yeah. Am I happy that I went about it
29:21
this way? Yeah.
29:23
Right now, but my dad definitely kind of explained something to
29:28
me was this kind of like, you may not like realize it now, but
29:32
it's like way later on because like I'm around for my mom and
29:36
dad and my brothers are around for that.
29:38
So like they have that last bit of like connection.
29:42
But theoretically I wouldn't because I have no kids or
29:46
nothing like that. You know, I have my nieces and
29:49
stuff like that. They they could have kids and I
29:50
can maybe have that or my younger brother maybe have kids
29:53
and but me directly I want so he says like that.
29:56
That might be something you miss, depending on how your life
29:59
holds unfolds later on in life. Yeah.
30:01
What I always say to people is I'm like, is there something
30:06
that just like clicks in your head where all of a sudden you
30:09
want kids? Or is that not something that
30:11
exists? Because if it doesn't, then I
30:14
don't think I'm ever having kids because that's not even a
30:16
thought in my brain. I would I would my 100%.
30:20
I mean, I'd have to have a girlfriend.
30:21
Yeah, obviously, obviously we're.
30:22
There's a lot of steps. I'm the same, I'm the same, I'm
30:24
in the same boat happen but we're just assuming that.
30:27
So let's say, you know, yeah, I've been with someone for a
30:30
while and I'm, yeah. And I have a kid.
30:33
I think it would be more so like I for me personally, I would
30:36
want to be financially in a better position for that.
30:40
Yeah. Like I am definitely where I
30:42
need to be to do what I do now. Yeah, I'm very happy and content
30:46
with. It and if you didn't drift.
30:48
And if I if. You probably could afford a kid
30:50
no problem. Yeah.
30:51
Yeah. I think.
30:52
So see, that's the. Thing it's like.
30:54
So but so I would want to do. It That's horrible to say,
30:58
actually. But it's the truth because you
30:59
want, because immediately you can't.
31:01
It's not horrible. It's just that I feel like we
31:03
all have that instinct, even guys.
31:05
I mean, I don't, I want to speak for everyone, but I feel like
31:07
most of us, I think, or at least me, if I were to have a kid, I'd
31:10
be like immediately I'd go into dad mode.
31:13
I think it's like an instinct or something, you know, because my
31:15
dad's breastfeeding and. Yeah, Well, yeah, no more.
31:19
So my dad's done a really good job of being a fire figure, so
31:22
I'd want to like, yeah, pass that.
31:23
On you, I think both of you would be great parents.
31:26
Same with. Me.
31:27
No way. No way.
31:27
You think I would be a great parent?
31:29
Oh. No, man.
31:31
You just being. You're being nice right now how
31:32
would? You not be a great.
31:33
Parent, I think if you had a daughter, she'd have me wrapped
31:35
around her fingers. If I had a daughter, she'd have
31:38
me wrapped around her little finger.
31:40
Yeah, I'd be. Screwed.
31:42
But Frankie, Quite quite literally.
31:45
But makes rules. Guess what though, We don't got
31:49
kids. We don't.
31:50
We don't got kids. We don't.
31:51
That's why I'm just over. Here painting like no offense to
31:54
anyone who has kids, but like I see their no.
31:56
No offense at all. I'm like fuck, I feel like shit.
31:59
I feel like people who have kids understand.
32:02
Yeah, yeah, they have. They, they are.
32:03
They have the hardest job in the world.
32:05
Yeah, Yeah. They're like we we would
32:07
understand if I mean, they could probably look at me and be like
32:09
maybe that. Like, imagine we get to go home
32:11
tonight and go to sleep and not have to worry about where
32:13
anyone's at. Yeah, I mean, my, my fucking
32:16
employee just started his car. You're here in the back, but
32:18
he's got two kids and I'm like every time he comes in.
32:22
But he makes it happen. Bro, he comes to work.
32:24
All powers. He's a stronger.
32:26
He makes it happen. He's.
32:28
Dads are strong people. Moms are strong.
32:29
People. You know, because you have to
32:31
take care. You now have a you like levelled
32:35
up in like the life tertiary, like you went boop and now you
32:38
under this bracket. You have another human now so
32:41
that the other human can make it their own bracket.
32:43
Yeah, you know, yeah, whatever the fuck Carl just said by
32:47
Bracket of Life, bro. Yeah, what what I'm saying is he
32:50
comes in and he doesn't complain about anything.
32:55
And then yeah, other employees will come in and they'd be
32:58
complaining about everything. And I'm like, OK, I'm like, go
33:01
look. At you know what?
33:03
The fuck? Perspective is life, you know.
33:05
Perspective is life. You know, yeah.
33:07
But it's like, look at, look at Jesus, like he fucking has two
33:10
kids. He he got two hours of sleep
33:12
last night. Yo, but like, maybe he's just.
33:14
He's going to bust his ass all day.
33:15
Makes it happen. Yeah, perspective on life, dude.
33:18
Also, you have two kids so you got to fucking bust your ass and
33:21
make money. Yeah.
33:22
And maybe those, maybe those kids bring some sort of, well, I
33:26
can only assume some amazing joy to his life where it's.
33:29
Yeah. That's what everyone says.
33:30
That, you know, and that's where I think the disconnect because
33:32
we don't have that. But I I wouldn't even know what
33:35
that feeling. I I get teary eyed about little
33:37
shit some days. Like I could never see my son
33:40
walk. What?
33:41
Oh. Shit, I think more so when I saw
33:43
my older brother go through it because my older brother's 10
33:46
years older than me. So then when he had kids and I
33:49
saw him become a dad and I'm like, damn, my, my brother's
33:51
like he's doing it. Yeah.
33:53
I'm not going to do it. That's on.
33:57
Him, I was like, yo, like, yo, he's, he's a real one, yeah,
34:00
he's like. And for me, I'm turning 30 next
34:04
month. Oh fuck, you don't turn 40 in
34:07
May. I know.
34:08
Well, I I just. Kept I'm in the middle.
34:10
I used to keep. I used to make fun of Frankie
34:12
all the time for being 30. Then all of a sudden.
34:15
Oops. Now I'm going to turn 30.
34:17
Yeah, so now me and Frankie are the same age.
34:20
Not really. That works, but yeah.
34:21
Once pretty much enter that brat.
34:23
Yeah, you're in the brat bar. Yeah, for a little while, no one
34:26
asked anybody how old they were. He's the only one that can make
34:29
fun of us. Well, how old are?
34:31
How old? Are you Malcolm?
34:31
How old are? You 28.
34:35
That's 28. It's not really.
34:37
It's screw you. That's like, that's like where?
34:39
It drops down. He has no Grays.
34:42
He has nothing. But no for.
34:43
For me, like I, I think I don't want to stop at the same deal if
34:49
I had a kid and the kid first of all can happen anytime, like I
34:57
meet somebody, I have a wild night or if I'm with somebody
35:00
for a long time. He's being.
35:02
On like, it doesn't matter. Like if that baby happens, I'm
35:06
stopping a lot of the things that I have to that I like.
35:08
OK, but here's the difference I. I'm not sacrificing anything,
35:12
I'm not selling anything, but I know that you got to lock in
35:15
just like. Jesus, but I feel like you would
35:17
like to have a kid. I would love to, but I just know
35:20
that I my. Card.
35:21
The card. The cards.
35:23
In my hand, none of them. Equal that right now and Malcolm
35:28
would like to be a dad. Malcolm would love to.
35:31
Yeah, you. You would whip that thing out.
35:33
Poop right on. The back.
35:35
Wait, what? Oh wait, what?
35:36
Whip the. Tit out.
35:38
Oh, all right, all right. Yeah, I talked to Malcolm about
35:43
this. Do you really?
35:45
Yeah. Well, you sit next to each other
35:46
for a. While 28.
35:47
Because what happens is someone will do some crazy dumb shit and
35:50
I'm like, this guys got a fucking kid.
35:52
What an idiot. And then I'm like, wait, you
35:53
want a kid one day? Never mind.
35:54
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So that's that's exactly what
35:58
I'm talking about. I just don't get it where in
36:00
the? Manual where in the manual says
36:02
that dad can't fucking continue to have fun and be who they are.
36:07
You know what it is and do the shit.
36:08
That they like to do. I think ideally if like if you
36:11
told me, hey man, you can have a kid and you can still do
36:14
everything and I can, I have a structured enough to where I can
36:19
give him that lifestyle. And the board, both comfortably.
36:22
Then sign me up. I mean, people are doing it.
36:25
But I, you know, and I know there are people are doing it,
36:27
but like I want to be able to do it comfortably.
36:30
Yeah, you know who I think is is an awesome dad and I still see
36:33
around rich bro. He just, he just had a kid.
36:38
Right, I know, but but I saw the baby pretty shortly after they
36:43
had it. I was like or him or her.
36:46
I don't, I don't really remember.
36:48
Yeah, I don't know either. But nonetheless, I was like, hey
36:50
Rich, shouldn't you be like? Yeah, well, Rich is a good
36:54
example. Let's see what happens with
36:55
Rich, because Rich is fucking deep into drifting.
36:58
And he's smart. But see, Rich knows what to do.
37:00
I already could tell you he knows what to do.
37:02
Yeah, you got Stoneback. Stoneback too.
37:05
What are we talking about? Stoneback has.
37:07
Eight kids now, right? 8 I think. 933 No 810 he.
37:11
Has a soccer like 20 I think. And like 8S fifteens.
37:15
Yeah, you're right. Sorry.
37:15
It was the S15 number I was confusing it with.
37:17
Yeah. No, but he.
37:19
Did Hector? Hector's a good dad and he's
37:20
still in the game, you know? Hector's a Hector is rigged
37:24
right now. Are you friends with Hector on
37:26
Facebook? I I.
37:27
Yeah, yeah, Hector's like he just went to the pen or
37:29
something. I don't.
37:30
I don't. Know and and I'm over here I'm
37:33
like God damn, I feel. I feel like he middle man's a
37:36
lot right now, like he looks like Gay's older.
37:38
Brother dude, like I don't. I remember when he was here,
37:42
like, what, two years ago? Like that's not Hector.
37:44
It's heck, you know, like that's not Hector.
37:47
He was here like two years ago. He's like, yeah, I got to start
37:49
working out again and then boom, fucking.
37:52
Rich, I'm telling you, did you see a picture of him recently?
37:54
He's. Literally.
37:55
Jacked. I'm like Hector.
37:57
When he said when he says he's going to do something, he does
37:59
it. You know.
38:02
There is that too. Characteristic trait there.
38:04
Yeah, I'm with that. Heck, what's up, heck?
38:09
So it was Gabe's birthday recently, too.
38:10
I think that's yeah. You.
38:13
You can judge a father based on how his kids come out, right?
38:15
That's a good way to do it. And look at Hector's kids.
38:18
Fucking amazing. I feel fucking when Gabe's
38:21
around. I feel like I I need to be on my
38:22
best behavior. Exactly.
38:23
And that's how you feel when you're on Hector.
38:26
Gabe is great because like, if he don't like something like.
38:31
Yeah. He'll just be like, like on his
38:35
face. It just says like, that's corny.
38:37
Like just you can see it on his face.
38:39
What are we doing? Then he looks at you for calm
38:41
from it, like right. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yo.
38:45
And he's right and he don't care.
38:46
He's just like. And just so people know, these
38:49
are club loose, club loose people that we're talking about
38:52
right now, so. I haven't heard from Gabe in a
38:54
minute. He's probably, you know what it
38:55
is. If I haven't heard from Gabe,
38:56
he's probably doing something and it's probably something very
38:59
beneficial to him and so. He's probably getting beat up by
39:03
heck. Yeah, Honestly, Yeah.
39:05
What? Do you mean?
39:06
Bro, dude, heck is he'd be dead lifting and she'd be seeing that
39:10
like bro. You imagine getting hit by a
39:12
punch Buggy by him. Bro imagine you failed tech by
39:14
him. Get the fuck out.
39:17
Yeah, seeing him, man. Go for his knees bro.
39:19
Go for yo stop, all right? Every older person's weak point.
39:25
So kids are off our table right now I guess.
39:28
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, I'm just glad I'm not
39:30
alone. That's why I want to ask No.
39:31
Because I, I just couldn't do, I couldn't do what I'm doing and
39:34
travel and do all that stuff. And, and you know, because I
39:38
think what a lot, because I have a lot of people that ask me
39:40
like, hey, man, like I want to do something like this.
39:42
I want to get involved in drifting and all into a
39:45
different capacity and stuff and all that.
39:48
But what it really comes down to is like when that phone call
39:51
comes and they're like, yo, I need blah, blah, blah, blah.
39:53
You got to be ready to say, yeah, you get, oh, I don't know,
39:56
like, yeah, you just got to go like the whole Dubai thing.
39:58
That was like a week before. Yeah, that's a good example.
40:02
That's. A pretty that was like, yo, are
40:03
you available? Yeah, All right.
40:05
Cool. Like someone will call you in
40:07
like an hour and like they called me.
40:09
And the truck will come by and pick you up.
40:10
Yeah, and like yo. And everything worked out
40:12
perfectly. Like, you know, the big shout
40:14
out to Yousef, everybody from there was awesome.
40:17
But like last minute, like yo, what's up?
40:19
I hate to sound like the bitch in a room right now but the but
40:23
the sport that we do is not exactly safe either.
40:28
Like if you have a kid that you need to come home to someday,
40:31
stop for things. I mean fucking explosion SR20
40:35
blue. Maybe, maybe when we're doing it
40:37
on the street, but I mean, yeah, I think it's pretty safe.
40:40
I think it's safe. Yeah, well now you have link EC
40:42
us providing you fail safes in every parameter.
40:44
No. Hey yo, Link.
40:48
Link's about to make a lot more sales.
40:51
That was really good. You know why?
40:53
Because of that. No, because Jay from Auto
40:57
factory realized came out with a little power FC looking device
41:03
to put their screen in. Of course, and you can control
41:06
it too. Jay is brilliant as hell man.
41:09
So now, now, now it's. That's pretty bad.
41:13
That's a guy who listens though, OK.
41:15
Now people are going to have no reason to do power and.
41:18
I hope Jay listens to the podcast.
41:19
I know there's a lot of episodes and I don't know how up to date
41:22
people are, but I get to talk to Jay sometimes and that's kind of
41:26
weird because I I just knew him through the videos.
41:28
Oh really? I never met him, ever.
41:30
He's the nicest guy in the world.
41:32
I feel like he we would have a really good conversation.
41:35
Yeah Jake, come out here, call me sometime.
41:37
We're. Not going to fight you out but.
41:38
Come out. If you happen.
41:40
To be real that click through thing bro.
41:44
He probably knew how to do that already dude.
41:46
That shit is crazy. Like he's it has buttons on it
41:49
and everything. It looks like a power of C.
41:51
Do you hear yourself? It has buttons on.
41:54
Like they work. You OK?
41:57
Like it's all set up. Usually what happens is someone
42:00
will make something and put a screen in it and then that's it.
42:03
And they're like, yeah, look, it's like a power of C No, it's
42:04
not. You can't control it.
42:06
This is you can control it. So like, he pretty much just
42:11
changed the game for 240 owners and anyone else, honestly anyone
42:14
else who really like the power FC commander Because now it's
42:18
like, well, Apexi's not updating their ECU obviously.
42:22
Yeah, it's crazy. Like it's crazy how far those
42:25
two 40s have come. Yeah.
42:28
Like I I think I'm just going to start doing out the beige 1.
42:31
You probably should. I was going to keep it, but I'm
42:34
like, I mean, keep it to like, oh, let's keep it original, but.
42:36
You need to drop that off here and we need to have a
42:38
conversation about. That.
42:39
What? I got to figure this out.
42:41
I picked one up that's all stock and I just drove it around for.
42:45
A while, yeah, you. Don't drive it.
42:46
You don't drive it anymore. No, no, but I'm sure there's
42:48
some rust and so you know, like anything.
42:50
It's time to drift it in. Yeah, yeah.
42:52
Hey, hold on. Wait, Jay, I hope, I hope that
42:55
you sell that thing and that does something for you.
42:57
He's. Going to.
42:58
Because. Sorry, just put a lid on that.
43:00
And we're going to sell it here. Because my next thing was how
43:03
good the link works just period. Like Daryl just texted me and
43:08
that threw me off because I was going to talk about Daryl, my
43:10
roommate and also one of my best friends.
43:13
I turn his car on to move it any day of the week.
43:17
Any temp you remember that cold as day we had a couple weeks
43:20
ago. I had to move the car and it
43:23
skipped my mind that like oh this is like a the one J in here
43:28
it might not turn on link link. How was it?
43:34
How was it? Kick, kick, kick.
43:37
Easy. 2 cranks like one of those.
43:40
Not that. What's up.
43:43
See ya. There he goes.
43:45
There's a dad. There's a dad, yo.
43:46
Yo-yo. Get in here, yo-yo.
43:51
Good to meet you. Click.
43:51
Click, click, click. Now you're going.
43:53
To rob more of his time, you're quite literally going to rob
43:56
more of his time. Come here.
43:58
We were just talking about how me and Reese don't have kids and
44:01
we don't really want them. But then I told him about you
44:03
and I said this guy has two kids.
44:07
He comes in here every morning. He says yeah, I got like 2 hours
44:11
of sleep last night. And he never bitches about
44:12
anything. Can you tell us how how it is
44:15
living the life of a dad drifter?
44:18
Just give me like a rundown like his.
44:20
Is it easy? Hell no.
44:22
It's not easy. Yeah, You just, you just do it
44:26
like having kids and trying to like it's all balancing, like
44:32
money wise, time wise, making sure they're good.
44:36
And obviously I got a wife making sure she's good.
44:38
You know what they say, happy wife, happy life.
44:41
But it's all about like a balancing act and try to get
44:45
your kids to like it so they want to come out.
44:48
Reese was saying Reese was. Like, wow, that you hear that
44:51
response. It's very much for it's very
44:53
like calm. Yeah.
44:54
We're over here. I'm over.
44:55
Here we're immediately. We're over here like kids.
44:57
Fuck that, I. I asked Reese if he was ready to
45:00
breastfeed. Like.
45:02
Totally different wavelengths here and it's that's good.
45:07
It's also good that we know that as a three over here and
45:11
possibly A4 like we know that who.
45:15
Comes next he's going to have a kid next Oh yeah for.
45:17
Sure. All right.
45:20
Well, thanks. You want to get your opinion?
45:21
Yeah. Better, better get going.
45:23
Yeah, they are. You.
45:27
Know she already texted me. It's like your kids watch you.
45:32
Oh, God, So where are you? It really be like that, though.
45:34
Yeah. And and that I think it's good
45:37
again, to our characters that we said what we said and we know,
45:43
you know, we're not here trying to be somebody when I would love
45:47
to be a dad one day, hopefully. I will say that I feel like
45:49
there's a lot more people that I know that are like me in in the
45:53
industry. I mean, I know people that have
45:55
kids, obviously, but I know a lot more people that are more
45:59
similar to like how I'm going about doing it and they don't
46:01
have kids. And it's the same reason they're
46:03
like, we just need the flexibility.
46:04
We need this, we need that. And that's just kind of how we
46:08
went about about doing it. Well, that's good to hear,
46:10
because sometimes I think I'm just wired completely wrong.
46:14
Yeah, I mean, but you never know, you might meet someone,
46:16
you fall in love and then. Yeah, I get that part.
46:19
Yeah, yeah. It's the other part where I'm
46:21
like, well, the the, the. I don't get that.
46:24
Part it goes like and then. Yeah.
46:25
And then what? The Discovery Channel.
46:28
No, I just don't. I'm like, oh, cool, we're in
46:29
love. We're hanging out.
46:30
Yeah, life's awesome. And then the bird.
46:32
Comes. Imagine we just had a really
46:34
annoying fucking thing that was hanging around and it would just
46:36
never let us do anything. You're scared that your baby,
46:39
you're scared this guy is afraid that you wouldn't.
46:42
You wouldn't love your you're scared you would not love your
46:44
kid. When I, when I that, when I'm
46:46
crazy, when I say I don't understand it, I don't
46:50
understand it. Bro it is literally it.
46:52
It's like. You know when I you, you know
46:54
when I don't understand that when I have to take a flight to
46:57
Orlando. That's a good example, but
46:59
that's me 24/7. Bro Oh, because of the plane,
47:02
because of the. Oh, but that's me 24/7 dude.
47:05
Like I don't get it. Like when I see them running
47:07
around I'm like, I don't get it. When they're being cute and
47:09
shit, I'm like that's cute but I don't get it do.
47:12
You think you would be able to. So when you're on a plane like
47:14
that, what annoys me is 'cause there's things that I would do
47:18
if I was a parent in that situation, there's some things
47:21
that I would do to try, 'cause I'm considerate of my
47:25
surroundings and I took that responsibility.
47:27
The person next to me didn't like.
47:29
So I would try. I would try.
47:31
Never even came into my mind. When they don't try, when they
47:34
don't try and I see the person sitting there fucking watching
47:38
or playing something on their iPad or something, I'm like,
47:41
dude, if that was my mom, she'd be trying to, you know, tell me.
47:45
Or I would try to educate my child, like, yo, we're on a
47:47
plane. Shut the fuck up.
47:48
Yes and yes and no. I mean, I agree with what you're
47:51
saying, but at the same time it's like we have no idea.
47:53
I don't know. I don't know what I'm talking.
47:55
About exactly, it's like. It's just, it's just what I
47:57
would. It's just me trying to think of
47:59
what I would do. I I don't.
48:01
The thought doesn't even come in my head when I see it when I see
48:03
a baby like crying or some shit on an airplane.
48:05
What would you do? And it's annoying me close my
48:07
eyes exactly that's I just. Closed my eyes and go why the
48:11
fuck? Would you just ever do that to
48:12
yourself? And then you start looking at,
48:13
you start like clicking on the screen thinking like.
48:15
I don't know if you're. Watching this but Reese really
48:17
said. I just wanted to fucking close
48:19
my eyes. Bro doesn't even have it then.
48:24
You start looking at the like the headrest with the screen to
48:27
see how long until the the the plane lands.
48:30
You're like 7 hours. Tuesday.
48:31
No, no. No, no, no, no, no.
48:32
No, no one's going to get this reference, but I have to say it.
48:34
No one's seen the movie Kung Pao, right?
48:37
Yeah, yeah, You saw it. You saw it.
48:41
You said yeah. No fucking way.
48:42
I used. To rent that from the library.
48:44
Fuck up Malcolm saw Kung Pao, OK?
48:45
Can we? Can we?
48:46
Explain what is this and what year is the movie?
48:48
I cannot explain the movie. It's so.
48:50
Ridiculous. It's it's a Kung Fu flick.
48:52
It's like a it's a comedy Kung Fu flip parody.
48:55
It's a parody. Anyway, the beginning, one of
48:57
the opening scenes, this lady's walking down the street.
49:01
These guy, this, this, I think it's this family or something,
49:04
But they abandoned their child. They throw the child down the
49:05
mountain. So the mountains rolling, the
49:08
the kids rolling down the hill, right?
49:10
And he stops and this woman finds her, finds the kid.
49:13
She goes, oh, Oh my God, picks up the baby.
49:16
She goes so cute, bye bye and rolls it down the hill again.
49:21
And I'm like, that's me. That's literally me.
49:23
So I like that's, that's, that's my mindset.
49:26
That's what you fucking I don't bring to the table.
49:29
I don't get it. I, I know, I know a lot of
49:31
people. I I have nothing against it, but
49:33
I do know a lot of people that it's just a big no.
49:37
Yeah, I I also have friends who are like, that's why you just
49:40
have, I think. I have more friends that are the
49:42
opposite. You just got to pick what you
49:44
what's for you. You know what I mean?
49:46
Nobody's telling you. Any more of those friends
49:48
hanging around? What the nose?
49:49
Sometimes you got to change, sometimes you got to just adjust
49:52
your circle. Yeah, yeah, you need to like
49:54
maybe snowboarding, skydiving, more drift.
49:58
Skydiving. Fucking just crazy stuff.
50:00
Go to Bali and all that. Shit people?
50:02
Probably. Yeah, they're probably not.
50:03
Really big parents. I could see you going to a
50:05
fucking little travel group where it's singles only you
50:07
staying in hostels and shit. Yeah.
50:09
But. Yeah, but then like you see it
50:11
on the other side, like for instance, like I used to spot
50:13
for Alec, Robin and FD and like he would bring his whole family
50:18
like like a literally a whole. Yeah, I was with the.
50:20
People and like, I mean, don't get me wrong, for me it's still
50:25
a hell no I. Wouldn't do it?
50:27
Like what? I saw there, I don't know, but
50:29
to see how they would have been, how supportive, like I thought
50:32
that was cool. Like, yeah, you would go to the
50:34
Airbnb's because I would stay with them, right?
50:36
And they would like cook food and this thing and the other.
50:39
So like I thought that was really cool.
50:40
Again, still a no. It's still a hard no, but like.
50:44
But it's good. For them, yeah, I was gonna I
50:47
couldn't break up you like, yo, it worked.
50:49
And I'm just looking at this dude.
50:51
I'm like, dude, he's doing all this.
50:52
Obviously the fans don't know this, right?
50:54
Because all they see is him show up and drive.
50:56
Yeah, but like Alec is like building this and that and like
50:59
him and his brother-in-law are over here, like working on the
51:01
car and they're figuring this shit out this time and the other
51:03
and. And like he has like he's a dad,
51:05
like puts him to sleep and shit all in the same weekend of FD.
51:08
And I'm just like, yeah, yeah. But you're, you're Superman.
51:12
This is the other part. That I'm so I'm pretty
51:14
disciplined. I like to challenge myself,
51:16
things like that. I think parenting is probably
51:18
the like highest level of like you want to challenge.
51:22
Well, because now you got to discipline somebody else.
51:24
You saying you like a challenge but like you're S13 dog?
51:29
Yeah, you're right. You're S13.
51:31
I dropped the ball on that one. Wait on the, on the on the other
51:35
end, just like that I wanted. To bring it to light again you.
51:38
Know, don't worry, it's people. I know we're going to go the
51:41
whole podcast we're not talking about.
51:43
That would have been nice. It was close.
51:45
No, no, we're literally 20 minutes in.
51:47
No, but. He was waiting for that.
51:49
On the other hand, do do you remember Quan, my my one friend?
51:51
Quan? Yes, he has a daughter who's 7.
51:55
Yes. A kid who can talk and like have
51:59
a conversation with you and be around things and be somewhat
52:03
responsible. OK.
52:06
When I see that, that's when sometimes the the empty feeling
52:09
hits, when I'm like, damn, like they're making memories
52:13
together, they wrote ATV. That's that's what.
52:16
My they wrote ATV around at E Town and I was like, see, she's
52:19
going to remember that hopefully.
52:20
This is someone who wants a kid because you could tell because
52:23
that that that would not even come in my head.
52:26
What making memories and shit? The whole thing.
52:28
She like not even, I don't relate to it at the moment, but
52:30
I feel like if I have no other choice and, and like I'm put
52:34
into that situation, I'd probably be all about it.
52:37
And again, I think it's because I had such a, you know, I had, I
52:40
have such a great dad. Yeah.
52:41
You know, So I think I'm like, alright, like I've seen this
52:43
before. I can do this.
52:44
Yeah. The only way I'll have a kid is
52:46
if I make it a challenge for myself.
52:48
Frankie like. Let's see if we can do this
52:50
shit. How many sit ups can you do?
52:52
Yeah, Frankie's Francie's Frankie's kid is going to finish
52:55
the S13. Yes, that You know what, I'm not
52:58
the reason do you think? He's going to finish the S13
53:00
first or pop a kid out first. Frankie's going to be the guy
53:03
the. Kid first, because he's going to
53:04
the kids going to finish. Well, he's going to figure out
53:06
how to have a kid on his own. He's going to find some way to
53:08
pop a kid out on his own. I heard you do that these days
53:12
somewhere. I don't know.
53:13
Men can have kids, I heard. Oh, are we done with that now?
53:16
I don't. I think horse was it.
53:20
Isn't there like an animal where the.
53:22
There's some animals. That seahorse, that's a good
53:26
seahorse. Malcolm's like Thomas Seahorse.
53:29
Yeah, dude, you identify. I remember, remember that one
53:32
time Malcolm was like a guy identify as a seahorse?
53:34
Yeah. Oh, I did not say that.
53:36
Are you sure? Because you kind of look like
53:37
you've been. Quiet about the kid talk, No.
53:39
You kind? Of look like he has I.
53:41
Think he's talking about the haircut, the little flip bag.
53:43
Is that what you're? Saying I don't know what it is,
53:45
but wait, was that real? Carl?
53:46
Were you serious about that? Why do I think you look like a
53:50
seahorse? A little.
53:51
Fuck you. Maybe it's just I don't.
53:54
Know dad did not say that that is.
53:56
Not what I said, you look. Like a sea monkey.
54:02
Fair enough. There was so much ammunition
54:04
there. I'm like, man, I wonder who's
54:05
going to pop off? I know, right?
54:06
I. Was wondering what?
54:09
I don't know. You've been back quite you,
54:10
don't you think? You think you'd be good with it?
54:12
You think you'd be a good dad? I think I'd be a good dad, but I
54:15
won't be a good dad right now, I'll tell you that much.
54:17
Are you in the same thing? You're like, I just kind of want
54:19
to get financially. And yeah, yeah, or I just feel
54:23
like I'm not mature right now, right?
54:24
That's how I. Feel about a few, a few more
54:26
years, I'll be all right. And I feel the same.
54:29
Like like 10 years later and I feel the same.
54:34
Like like those little mots fruit snacks I'd give him one or
54:38
him or her one. I'd be like damn these are good
54:40
as fuck. To me, I don't know, I'm just
54:42
going to sound more and more like a piece of shit this
54:44
episode. So to me it's like when I see.
54:46
Don't feel alone. First of all, people have
54:47
commented before. Someone out there feel?
54:49
Fuck yeah, Frank. I hope so, but.
54:51
Someone out there is like, yeah, this.
54:52
Is one of the most accepting times possible.
54:54
To me, it's like, to me, it's like, I see a kid and I'm like,
54:57
OK, so when, what? At what time in my life do I
55:00
want to fucking ruin my life? It doesn't really you thinking
55:03
about it. That's how it goes through my
55:05
head. No, no, no, no.
55:06
Well, I mean, if you had tons of money or let me not say it that
55:09
way, if you were in situation, yeah, I just don't want to say
55:13
it that way. But if you're in a situation
55:15
where it's like, wow, this could easily happen.
55:18
But again, you're going to have someone that says, yeah, that's.
55:20
Never that you could you make. So you you also sound like you
55:23
could be a dad at one point. I I think I could.
55:26
OK, now, now give me a million. Give me a billion dollars.
55:29
You're. Not.
55:30
Not really not having a. Single child, you know, with
55:33
the, with, with that billion dollars, I can tell you, you're
55:36
not having a kid anytime. In someone give me a billion
55:38
dollars, I probably wouldn't have kids.
55:40
Because you know what it is? It is.
55:41
It's like, really? Oh, wait a minute, wait a
55:42
minute. I contradicts what I just said.
55:44
Yeah, I did. Yeah, yeah, I thought no, but.
55:46
I I think in that process of the billion dollars, I would find
55:49
some fun where all of a sudden I might no, no, magically have a
55:52
kid. This is the issue right now.
55:53
If someone were to give me a billion dollars, I wouldn't
55:56
because like, I don't, I don't have someone.
55:58
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's going to beat them off.
55:59
We're assuming so if I had someone and yeah, that's like,
56:04
Oh yeah, cool. That's a whole another animal.
56:07
If you imagine me going home, like yo, I just got a billion
56:09
dollars, you trying to have a kid?
56:11
I thought that's a that's a whole nother thing.
56:13
Is that like I can't? Finding.
56:16
Finding somebody to fucking try to explain what we like to do to
56:21
like, it's like. Yo, they're they're going to be
56:23
like, what are you? Let me just let me just put this
56:26
out there right? Like this is just so
56:28
embarrassing. Like.
56:30
Hold on A. Minute yo this trust trust me so
56:32
like. We don't cut anything out of
56:35
here, just so you know. That's fine.
56:36
That's fine. Like people need to hear this
56:38
because this. Is how?
56:39
Yeah. No, no, they.
56:40
Do so like I remember this one time I meet this, I meet this
56:47
girl, this chick and she's like official has like a a like a big
56:52
girl job and like all that and like, you know, I'm like yo,
56:57
you. We we think like we have pretty
56:59
cool lives. We get to travel, we get to go
57:01
see all these right to us. But like this chick, was not
57:05
impressed. By like drifting and all.
57:07
That like she was like, so that's not even a job like I was
57:11
like. Oh, yeah, yeah, I know.
57:12
That's yeah, I know what you mean, yo.
57:14
Cut me down hard. Yeah, yeah, like.
57:17
Hard like to the we were like, I sat there and I was just like.
57:21
No, that's real those. Those women exist.
57:23
Yo one, I was kind of about it one.
57:26
For your credit score too, right The first date.
57:28
What you do is cool, Reese. Don't let anybody.
57:31
Tell you, but it was it was it was cool and refreshing for
57:34
someone to stand their ground. She didn't, she didn't say it
57:36
like a bitch or anything. She just kind of she stated like
57:39
where she was coming from. Yeah.
57:40
And it was just she just wasn't about that.
57:42
But to like, you know, when you hear someone, wouldn't you
57:44
always hear you do what? That's so, so you know what I
57:47
mean? Like you and all my friends
57:48
always hear that. But to hear someone who just
57:50
doesn't give a fuck about that shit is good to be like, yeah,
57:52
it's all right, Yeah, you're just like.
57:55
It's refreshing to hear that perspective kind of honestly.
57:58
I had to tell I went on a snowboard.
58:00
Every year I go on a snowboarding trip with some
58:02
college friends of mine. That group is my insight as well
58:07
as a couple other friends from home.
58:09
But that group is my insight to what reality is like outside of
58:14
our world. What it could have been.
58:16
What what it could have been outside of our little bubble,
58:18
because what we have is a little bubble of like our.
58:21
Friends a bio doomed. Art of of what?
58:24
A bio Dome. Who are built just like us.
58:27
They got feelings, they think just like us.
58:30
Little Dome of it. We live in a fantasy.
58:32
World, but then those kids like and not kids like.
58:36
God forbid they hear this. Those those guys mean the world
58:39
to me because they fucking give me that perspective.
58:43
OK, this, that past this past trip, for the first time, I
58:48
brought up something that I feel like I've never 'cause I skip
58:52
out on some of the outings, like I don't, OK, I had to tell them
58:57
I'm like, I'm like, yeah, you know.
58:59
Yeah, what did you? Say because it was brought up,
59:01
it's like, hey man, we don't really see Mike he's never going
59:05
to listen to this Mike. I had to say no to some of these
59:09
things because like, I'm sitting there and I'm the what?
59:14
13th 15th wheel on the front spearheading any useless
59:20
conversation I can because I don't know what the hell y'all
59:25
are all talking. About you can't relate to.
59:27
I can't relate to nothing. I can't.
59:30
We're talking about houses. OK cool.
59:32
I'm looking for an old house I'd love to build, like a barn.
59:34
Dominium One building kitchen on the top.
59:36
Did you say a barn dominium? Cat This is just an example.
59:39
Catwalk lifts right in front. I can wake up, see my car.
59:42
Yeah. No, why would you do that?
59:44
That would I'll no, I'll gross what?
59:46
No. And I had to explain like
59:48
sometimes and it's not, I'm coming from like a place of
59:51
like, I'm not saying I hate you. It's just understand I don't
59:58
know how to act in any of that. This is a big part of growing up
1:00:02
too, you realize. That happens, bro.
1:00:04
Yeah, that's that's kind. Of and then you have to be like,
1:00:06
OK, is it worth spending my time with this person that I can't
1:00:09
relate to? Or is it worth spending my time
1:00:11
with these people that I can't relate to?
1:00:12
And maybe you can push me a little bit further.
1:00:14
But I wanted to make sure that I wasn't telling him, like, I hate
1:00:18
hanging out around you when you talk about this stuff.
1:00:20
I don't want that. Yeah, I understand that.
1:00:22
That's who you are. And I, I love you for that way
1:00:27
and I respect what you do when you hang out with them, but just
1:00:29
don't think that I'm just fucking giving you the culture.
1:00:33
I don't. I just don't want to have to sit
1:00:35
and talk about fucking. Maybe the possibility that you
1:00:38
guys are planning to have a kid like you know?
1:00:40
Yeah, I don't care about little Timmy.
1:00:42
Like I don't care about those pictures.
1:00:45
But they, they, that's my insight into that, that world.
1:00:49
If you don't have that insight and we're in our little Dome,
1:00:51
it's so easy to get lost, dude. And you forget about the fact
1:00:54
that life's happening. Around you do I, I think, I
1:00:57
think the, the best thing about drifting is that you can get
1:01:02
engulfed in it and then and then the the repercussion of it is
1:01:08
when you come out of it for a quick second you're just you
1:01:11
look around and you're like, wow, everybody's got older,
1:01:13
everyone's gotten this everyone. Dude, that is so.
1:01:15
That's you don't realize, like I'll talk to someone and I may
1:01:20
not have seen them for six years, but I will talk to them
1:01:23
like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just the other day.
1:01:24
Remember, they're like bro six years ago.
1:01:26
Yeah. Dude.
1:01:27
Well, that that. Happens when you get older,
1:01:29
period. That's so that is.
1:01:31
Yeah, that sucks. No, that's.
1:01:33
That's rad, but. Oh fuck, that gives me a bad
1:01:35
fucking. You're about right there.
1:01:38
It's it's hat, but yo, it's a. Good thing because it's fuck
1:01:41
that feels gross. I don't like that, actually.
1:01:43
Like I. Years, I kind of look at it.
1:01:45
COVID was years ago. Yeah, it was years.
1:01:48
Well, four. Yeah.
1:01:51
Oh, it's. Five started five years ago,
1:01:54
yeah. Me.
1:01:57
That feels like two years ago. That felt like last year.
1:02:00
We just started this podcast yesterday.
1:02:02
That that Kovid feels like it was, I'll give it three years
1:02:06
ago. I felt like Kovid was, I was a
1:02:08
teenager and I'm. Yeah, right.
1:02:11
You know what I mean? Like, yeah, it's like, like
1:02:14
right after high school, COVID hit.
1:02:15
Yeah, that's not what happened. And then they're like, well, you
1:02:17
know, those two years after COVID, they don't really count.
1:02:19
And I'm like, OK, I mean, I guess that that makes my timing.
1:02:23
Accurate then that's why I told like all the all the younger
1:02:26
guys I'm like, you know what I told a lot of them to do now I
1:02:29
think what's really what people miss in like this culture is
1:02:33
like everyone's really wrapped up in like building a car and
1:02:39
then it becomes like only a track car, but like I got to
1:02:42
live driving my car on the street with my friends for
1:02:46
years. Yeah just like 1 summer.
1:02:49
It was like multiple summers where you're going to car meets
1:02:53
and it was yeah and they were drift cars like you did some St.
1:02:57
drifting, you know what I mean? Especially for it, like I don't
1:02:59
want to say it's never acceptable, but I mean it was
1:03:01
acceptable for the time period. And like that was fucking like
1:03:04
20 years ago. So like I tell them like, yo,
1:03:08
like don't tear your car completely apart still make it
1:03:12
like still be able to drive with your friends to these events.
1:03:15
And like, like that's part of it.
1:03:18
And I feel like if all you do is just build a car and you just go
1:03:20
straight to the track, like, yeah, you're going to drift.
1:03:23
But like, like the character and like, like the real spirit of it
1:03:28
all comes with like going to the track but also still cruising
1:03:31
with your homies. Putting all the tires in the
1:03:32
back and. Yeah, Yeah, Doing all like you
1:03:35
got to go through. I went through that.
1:03:36
I drift, I drove to the track. I stacked my tires in in the
1:03:40
back of my car, like fixed cars, like in the middle of the
1:03:43
street, wherever we were on some trip or wherever.
1:03:47
You know, like I feel like you need to go through that because
1:03:50
then you start appreciating like when you get a truck in a
1:03:52
trailer and it's like, and I know some people have the money
1:03:55
to do it, but like if you're able to just like still go to
1:03:58
these meets and just just be a normal bro, but with like a cool
1:04:03
car, like that's what you're going to miss like I feel.
1:04:06
That's what I miss. I feel like people forget that
1:04:08
there's that you can just like hang out with cars.
1:04:11
Like you don't have to fucking be suffering all.
1:04:13
The yeah and then drift. Like Sunday nights, bro.
1:04:16
You. Yeah, I think that's fun.
1:04:17
Stop bro. Like, dude, during this past
1:04:20
summer, I, I got that feeling a lot this past summer.
1:04:23
And that's why I can't wait for summer this year.
1:04:24
I feel like it's going to be even better.
1:04:27
One person needs to do something.
1:04:29
So you call somebody that person, you maybe you let other
1:04:32
people know, they pull up, you get the one thing done in like
1:04:35
10 minutes. And then now you have 15 people
1:04:41
at your house and now you're just chilling around the cars,
1:04:45
talking about cars, bullshitting, like all in that
1:04:48
group, that Dome that I was talking about, you just hanging
1:04:53
out. That's like some of the best.
1:04:55
That's the best thing about it. Memories that you can that I can
1:04:58
think of recently that keep me comfortable about not thinking
1:05:01
about how many years have passed or that life is pretty much
1:05:05
whipping past me because my mom loves telling me that it's like
1:05:08
you just keep watching your friends like fucking lives
1:05:10
passing. But I'm like I'm fucking trying
1:05:12
to make my IS cleanest. Fuck, what did you do with your
1:05:16
life? Yeah.
1:05:18
Where are you? Going I'm trying to have a nice
1:05:20
IS. BN IS300 please mom, relax.
1:05:23
Next time. Or like, yeah, next time.
1:05:25
She's. But they don't.
1:05:26
They're not. What did you do?
1:05:27
Yeah. What have you done?
1:05:28
Don't be crazy. That's, I hate to say it, but
1:05:31
sometimes when I think of like my dad's like automotive little
1:05:34
adventure that he's had through his life, blue adventure.
1:05:36
I'm sorry, but I'm like dad, there ain't no way you're doing
1:05:41
this shit I'm doing. Yay.
1:05:42
See nothing yet dude. Like.
1:05:44
No. Way.
1:05:45
They can't. They can't comprehend, and it's
1:05:47
not their fault. Yeah, they didn't have.
1:05:49
It's just technology and everything.
1:05:50
It's just like, sometimes I don't even like, get in.
1:05:52
I'm like, yeah, I'm just out there.
1:05:54
You were literally in Dubai judging a competition.
1:05:57
They have to think something crazy is going.
1:05:59
On Oh no, they think it's great, but they don't like that's
1:06:02
insane. I don't think they know like the
1:06:03
insurance and outs or like, why would they?
1:06:06
Yeah, I think it's great that they don't like for instance,
1:06:07
right. Like I love watching
1:06:09
snowboarding. I've never snowboarded.
1:06:11
Wait, really? So you like watching it, but
1:06:13
you've never done it? You've got Z Powell.
1:06:15
Growing up, all I ever wanted to do was action sports, but living
1:06:18
in the city you couldn't. Well, you can.
1:06:21
Skateboard, I mean, yeah, skateboard, but I mean, like
1:06:23
then I had to like pick and choose and basketball was like
1:06:26
easy. I didn't have money for a board
1:06:28
or anything because even for that was like, that wasn't
1:06:30
happening. You're going to do what
1:06:32
sneakers? I could be like, oh, I need it
1:06:33
for Jim. Carl could take you
1:06:35
snowboarding. No, no, no, I'm not saying how
1:06:37
to do it now, but I almost I almost like that I don't know a
1:06:42
lot about it to like really know the insurance and outs because
1:06:47
then I just enjoy it. You would.
1:06:49
I know that. You're you're admiring it from
1:06:52
up here. I I admire it from a very.
1:06:56
Macro. Like a very genuine ignorant.
1:06:59
Point. Of view genuinely ignorant.
1:07:02
That's how I feel with music. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:07:05
And I feel like there's like a lot of people, like for me, I
1:07:08
know so much about your thing that I feel like it just, it
1:07:11
robs some of it away from me. So when I find other things that
1:07:14
I find interest in, I try not to like, learn too much about it.
1:07:17
So then it's like, I have like this just this innocent, like, I
1:07:20
don't know. So I'm just going to sit here
1:07:22
and enjoy it. And I find so much more comfort
1:07:25
in that. Like, I watch a documentary on
1:07:27
what's what's to do with the red hair, Shaun White.
1:07:30
Yeah, I watched a documentary on Shaun White because I don't know
1:07:33
the insurance and outs of snowboarding.
1:07:35
Like, I just sit back. I'm like, dude, this dude's just
1:07:37
doing his thing, dude, you know, And I get to genuinely enjoy
1:07:41
this because I don't know, there's enough.
1:07:43
There's like room for imagination because you don't
1:07:45
know. Yeah.
1:07:46
You know, that's like where someone that knows about
1:07:48
snowboarding would be like, yeah, whatever.
1:07:50
Well, this was blah, blah. Like I would about your thing.
1:07:52
Yeah. That's like, yes.
1:07:55
And that's pretty much just how I feel about every other topic
1:07:58
that comes up. Like a woodworker, probably.
1:08:00
Like, yeah, man, I watched fucking Outdoor Boys and he
1:08:03
built a shed. Oh man, Fucking I.
1:08:05
Kind of want to learn a little bit about that though.
1:08:06
That shit's. Sick.
1:08:07
No, but that's. The old man talking.
1:08:09
Yeah, yeah. Woodwork.
1:08:11
I want to just. Sit bro, we built the bench in
1:08:13
that little boot. Dune.
1:08:14
Oh yeah. But like with music, like one of
1:08:18
my best friends growing up was a drummer and he, he'd probably
1:08:23
never admit it, but I, I feel like he is a little tainted from
1:08:26
knowing so much, you know what I mean?
1:08:29
Because like I, I feel like he's a little bit more judgmental
1:08:32
obviously on certain things where it's like, if you don't
1:08:35
know anything about it, everything's kind of cool.
1:08:37
Not everything, but you know, whatever your taste is.
1:08:40
But I remember I tried playing guitar for a minute and I was
1:08:43
like, this shit is so difficult. And it made me appreciate it way
1:08:49
more, like way more. I was like, I had no fucking
1:08:53
idea how crazy playing guitar is.
1:08:55
Like and I'm sitting there trying to play an acoustic
1:08:58
fucking song and I'm like, these motherfuckers are drenching
1:09:01
sweat playing crazy riffs live and singing at the same time.
1:09:07
I'm like. On Beat that.
1:09:09
Shit is nuts you. Ever tried to sing and play a
1:09:11
guitar? At this stage, no.
1:09:13
I can't even think hard shit of my life.
1:09:15
Yeah, I fucking tried to do it once for I think it was like a
1:09:17
talent show. You were playing for a girl.
1:09:19
No hold. On I got to, I got to take this.
1:09:22
Frankie's here to Weld some. For real?
1:09:24
Yeah, I would have brought something I needed.
1:09:26
I needed some stuff done. Did he bring water?
1:09:29
We got no water in this bitch for real.
1:09:31
I'm sorry, Reese, you're going to have to fucking dehydrate
1:09:33
Juicy platters though. Juicy platters though.
1:09:36
Oh. Yeah, dude.
1:09:37
The guitar talk, though, I'm not going to stop on that because
1:09:42
that is an example of something I tried to play guitar, failed
1:09:45
at it. I kind of tried a lot of.
1:09:47
I tried and I sucked. Yeah, a horrible.
1:09:49
Bro my grandfather was great, he was like a classical.
1:09:52
Oh, no one in my family is medically.
1:09:54
So good at. It horrible but I wanted to try
1:09:57
it. I played the trumpet.
1:09:59
In school and stuff. Yeah, serves me right.
1:10:02
I have a VQ. That's you, You.
1:10:04
You can play all the notes. It's a shame.
1:10:07
I don't, I never learned about music or anything like that.
1:10:11
So then I, I just looked at it from back here, but the guitar,
1:10:17
any solo or any like 80s song that has a guitar solo or or a
1:10:22
riff that fucking just just tingles your ears a little bit.
1:10:26
The guitar, to me, is the one that stands out.
1:10:28
Oh yeah, yeah, like 80s Rock'n'roll and stuff like that
1:10:30
all day long. In grit.
1:10:32
I'm just that's cruising music. If I'm going to take a a drive,
1:10:36
if I have to go for a drifting event and it's like more than a
1:10:39
few hours, trust me, I'm putting on classic rock.
1:10:43
Yeah. I'm listening to, like,
1:10:44
Zeppelin. I'm listening to, like, Mötley
1:10:46
Crüe. Yeah, yeah.
1:10:47
Not because I'm like, not because I know every word, just
1:10:50
because I think I grew up in a time where all of those movies,
1:10:54
anytime someone was going cross country, that was the
1:10:57
soundtrack. So I.
1:10:59
Find comfort and just putting that music on.
1:11:03
When I go traveling somewhere, I'm like, oh, we're going where
1:11:06
to? South Dakota cruising music.
1:11:08
I never. Put those two.
1:11:10
Think about it, but think about every movie from the 90s that
1:11:13
you may have seen growing up or in the 2000s.
1:11:15
There's like some sort of like montage with one of those
1:11:18
classic rock songs. I use the classic rock songs as
1:11:21
like. Background music when you're at
1:11:23
the shop. No, it's a hero moment.
1:11:25
It's like fucking to me. It's like I'm going to throw the
1:11:27
best entry of my life when this solo starts ripping.
1:11:30
Yeah, that's what we've time for me.
1:11:31
That because then my heart rate is like fucking through the roof
1:11:35
in every movie that solo rips and the hero just busts out of
1:11:38
the smoke and just saves the day.
1:11:40
Do you think that's an American thing?
1:11:42
Do you think? Because like that's our music.
1:11:43
Like, do you think people like in another country, they think
1:11:45
about their folk song and they're like.
1:11:47
I don't know, I. Want to come out to like some
1:11:49
Indian jams or something? You.
1:11:51
Know that's kind of an interesting take.
1:11:53
Because like, you know what I'm saying?
1:11:54
Dude, sometimes I think in my head like, OK, I'm I'm Filipino,
1:11:58
OK, Like my cousins, they probably cannot comprehend what
1:12:04
the fuck something that we do at E Town, like fucking a private
1:12:07
day. You're hanging out with your
1:12:08
friends, Sun's beaming, somebody's playing music.
1:12:11
We're all just ripping watching our friends just driving around
1:12:14
having a good day, right? Solid day right there.
1:12:17
If I told my cousins we were doing that, they'd be like how
1:12:19
the. Fuck.
1:12:21
Are you guys just able to do that?
1:12:22
That's what you just and it's real blessed we get to do that.
1:12:24
USOA. I'm not saying I love it here,
1:12:28
but man, I fucking love it here. You know it.
1:12:31
Could be worse. It could be worse.
1:12:32
I don't got, I don't got any money into the stocks of this
1:12:35
hotel, but it's kind of cool, man.
1:12:36
I just like to stay here. It's, it's a solid time.
1:12:41
It's like it's fucking solid time.
1:12:43
People trying to break in here all the time.
1:12:48
That's how. Good it is.
1:12:50
That's how fucking good. It is.
1:12:51
That's the two people that come from like, immigrants and like.
1:12:54
Frankie just left Malcolm's look at look at how big look how big.
1:12:57
Malcolm's smile is behind the care for Frank.
1:12:59
Malcolm, are you first generation or are you like or
1:13:04
second generation or? What like am I first?
1:13:07
Was your dad born here? Oh, my dad was born here.
1:13:09
My mom wasn't. Where was your mom born?
1:13:11
The Philippines. Damn, I thought he was like
1:13:14
Spanish. I look Dominican but.
1:13:16
Not yeah, some people. I thought you were a platon or
1:13:19
something. There somebody, somebody said
1:13:21
that you look kind of Indian one time.
1:13:22
I get Indian, Dominican, Dominican Indian, yeah.
1:13:25
Damn, I don't. You can't really.
1:13:27
You can't see. It Oh no, it depends.
1:13:29
His haircut. Dude one time I was just on the
1:13:31
sidewalk in. Front of my house.
1:13:32
I can see it now. I can.
1:13:34
See it now? And so the Indian neighbor just
1:13:36
came outside, walked up to me and asked if I played cricket.
1:13:38
And I was like. Damn, for real?
1:13:40
That's hard though, yeah. Crickets.
1:13:43
No, I don't. He just thought I was Indian.
1:13:44
I was like, no, I don't play cricket first.
1:13:46
Of all, there's other countries that play cricket.
1:13:48
Yeah, but he was Indian as well, so he probably thought I was
1:13:51
you. Think he threw down You think he
1:13:53
like? He definitely played some
1:13:54
cricket. He.
1:13:54
Definitely played. Did he have his paddle with him?
1:13:56
Smack in the wickets back, that's another.
1:13:57
Weird sport that he played. Oh, the one where they throw the
1:14:01
the ball really fast. With like the little coop thing.
1:14:05
All the curved. High a lie?
1:14:06
What is it? High a lie.
1:14:07
Yeah. Could you match again hit with
1:14:09
one of those? Things.
1:14:09
They did it in Jackass, remember?
1:14:11
Oh yeah. That's why I know what that is.
1:14:14
God. They they fucking do.
1:14:16
Why don't we do that here? Why do they?
1:14:18
Why would we ever do that here? We got racquetball here.
1:14:22
You know, that's that's very. True, you get hit by a
1:14:24
racquetball. Do you ever?
1:14:26
Hear of Batman? Is Batman American?
1:14:28
I don't know that's. Let's look it up.
1:14:30
There's no way badminton is American.
1:14:34
That's got to be where was badminton invented?
1:14:40
Shit, it's India. Stop for real.
1:14:43
See. Yeah, my Indian neighbors play
1:14:45
that too. Whenever it's nice out they pop
1:14:47
open the fucking the net. Nah.
1:14:51
My family just play soccer. Yeah, I was going to say soccer
1:14:53
or we're a volleyball people. Volleyball, bro.
1:14:58
Malcolm, I literally seen you. We played volleyball together.
1:15:02
Where yo your best? Friend plays volleyball OK,
1:15:05
that's that's your country who's.
1:15:06
The country that that plays the sport where they like kick, they
1:15:09
play volleyball, but they're kicking, they're using probably
1:15:11
Brazil. Yeah, probably Brazil.
1:15:13
That is some Brazilian shit. Do you ever go drifting there
1:15:15
yet? Yeah, yeah.
1:15:17
I went down to Brazil to judge Drift Show Brazil.
1:15:22
I went down there with a couple of people.
1:15:25
The vibe was great. I fucking bet they probably
1:15:27
party like hell over there. Yeah, yeah, they definitely
1:15:30
party really everywhere and just dude, any, anywhere Germany.
1:15:35
The the event I did over in Germany this past summer was
1:15:37
like, that was great. It was 100 plus battles or
1:15:40
something like that that we had to judge 6 judges at that one.
1:15:42
That's another thing too, is, is as much as we're, we're like US
1:15:47
of a baby, but nonetheless, if you're drifting in any country
1:15:53
or that's that that scene in that country is fun as hell.
1:15:57
Everybody's having fun. My I think it's.
1:16:00
Hard to not have fun. You want to go to like, like I
1:16:04
want to go to Russia to go drift.
1:16:05
There. Oh dude.
1:16:06
Like I'm trying to go to Sochi. Like if you told me there was
1:16:08
people drifting in Mars like I'm trying to.
1:16:11
Fucking drift it. You know my twist right now?
1:16:14
You know how like in skateboarding, there's like, oh,
1:16:16
I'm trying to go to this plot, this spot.
1:16:17
Oh God, I just had this fucking conversation with Nick.
1:16:20
Bro you want to own that spot like before anybody else does
1:16:24
one? 100% so, but for me, for me,
1:16:28
right in Colombia, they have the main track called to Cantipa.
1:16:33
So like everyone talks about that main track, but when you
1:16:36
look up Cartadromos, which are like the cart circuits, there's
1:16:41
like 10 of them and no one even thinks about that.
1:16:46
So like, I'm trying to figure out a way to get a car or get
1:16:49
something down there, get it set up, and then I want to go claim
1:16:52
homage to all of those, Dude, I want to who's going to go?
1:16:56
Who's going to go do them? I want to do that same thing in
1:16:58
the Philippines because they have some tracks but they grip
1:17:00
drive there no one drifts. Exactly, the consumables for
1:17:03
drifting is way too high for it to be in a country.
1:17:07
That's why you got to make sure. Do you have a set up like in
1:17:10
Colombia? I know I can go there and be
1:17:12
like, listen, dude, I'm like, I'm going to give you $200.
1:17:14
And. I'm going to get the track for a
1:17:16
couple hours and I'm going to like bang out this video.
1:17:18
Like I know it can happen down there.
1:17:19
I'm sure it can happen in the Philippines as well.
1:17:21
Too. I know.
1:17:22
I'm trying to think of how much am I going to get tires for
1:17:25
because Westlake is huge there. They fucking love Westlake
1:17:28
there. I don't know if they make it.
1:17:29
There, I think I'll probably spend like 10 grand doing that
1:17:38
whole ordeal if I end up buying a car down there.
1:17:41
Like I'm trying to see if I can get one of the car.
1:17:42
So in Venezuela you can get like 350 ZS for like hundreds of
1:17:47
dollars really. But try to get them the fuck out
1:17:49
of Venezuela. Oh, no, no, no.
1:17:51
You're. Keeping so like I'm trying to
1:17:52
see if like, but I'm still like, who's crazy are they?
1:17:55
Be like, yo, I'll do it for you. So someone can grab me one of
1:17:58
those ZS and bring it over to Colombia because they're
1:18:00
neighbors. Then like, boom, I'm in there.
1:18:02
You know what I mean? Like.
1:18:04
Now you're now you're involving a lot of the problem for the our
1:18:08
island is, is everything there is expensive as fuck because
1:18:12
it's got to get brought in. Still pain?
1:18:14
Painful. Venezuela might as well be on an
1:18:16
island right now because like, you can't get anything to
1:18:18
service any of those cars. So that's why they cost sold.
1:18:22
They cost nothing. Well.
1:18:23
What if you go there with like a suitcase?
1:18:25
I'm not trying. To go to Venezuela bro, like my
1:18:27
American ass go hell no. Even if I had dual citizenship,
1:18:30
which I'm working on in Colombia, I wouldn't go over
1:18:32
there. I'd have to find someone there
1:18:33
to do it. Like like I think what's going
1:18:35
to end up happening is I'm going to have to find it a different
1:18:37
way. Maybe get it from Costa Rica or
1:18:38
something like that. Because Colombia doesn't have
1:18:39
any ZS or any anything good. They don't.
1:18:41
All they have is BMWs. Where would you go drift if if
1:18:44
we're talking about drifting in other countries and how we want
1:18:47
to like be the first there? Like you been skating, They're
1:18:51
like, oh, I'm going to go shred the spot before anybody else.
1:18:54
But there's a whole bunch of good projects in Colombia that
1:18:56
I'm trying to go drift before anybody else gets to do it.
1:18:59
Then that's it. Like you're a legend at that
1:19:00
point. Yeah, see, nothing.
1:19:02
Nothing's cool unless it's on the street.
1:19:03
And I don't know too many St. spots in different countries.
1:19:07
So that's the problem. Did you under, did you catch
1:19:10
this in Japan? But the, the road pavement in
1:19:14
some of those areas, it's like this white.
1:19:17
It's talking about like the grippy stuff.
1:19:19
No, no, no. It's like concrete kind.
1:19:24
Of he's like, it's like. Concrete.
1:19:25
I don't know. But like the roadies of the of
1:19:27
the 86. Dude, I'm just saying.
1:19:29
I'm just saying like in other countries, the street spots are
1:19:32
fucking rough. Yeah.
1:19:34
Like it's not. Well, it depends.
1:19:37
It depends. Like Iran, yo.
1:19:39
I swear to God whatever they put in the asphalt on the last
1:19:44
circuit that we did or the last stage we did for drift
1:19:47
Appalachia like that has to be weight.
1:19:49
The cars were like 500 horsepower and 8090 or PSI.
1:19:57
Oh, it was grippy. It's really grippy, but.
1:19:59
You're driving on a on a NASCAR track.
1:20:02
No, no, it was just a normal I I mean, it's just a you saw it,
1:20:06
bro. It was, but the pavement didn't
1:20:08
look weird. It didn't think.
1:20:10
I think Brian Hopp was saying that he thinks that they put
1:20:12
graphite in. Yeah, they could.
1:20:14
That's what makes it more grippy.
1:20:17
Fuck, that's. Perfect.
1:20:18
Because why wouldn't? Know because he's he deals with
1:20:20
that, he deals with pavers and all that stuff.
1:20:22
So he would know about that stuff.
1:20:24
I fucking one. I would have believed him
1:20:26
immediately and I do believe him now and I'm going to look into
1:20:28
that. I mean, he's not, he's not 100%
1:20:30
sure. He just took a very educated
1:20:32
guess. He's like, yeah, they're
1:20:32
probably putting graphite and they're like.
1:20:34
Well, they probably changed. I mean there is different
1:20:36
pavements. And I can see that because
1:20:38
imagine you're on a, on a, on a tow guy.
1:20:40
Yeah, a mountain Rd. Yeah, they don't want people to
1:20:43
fly off they. Don't want people to fly off, so
1:20:45
I guess they may treat this asphalt.
1:20:48
So because you're on an embankment is pretty much.
1:20:50
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I never thought about it.
1:20:52
That's. Flat if you I mean it looks flat
1:20:54
on video, but like when you're there like you're.
1:20:56
I'm just assuming the municipality is out to get me.
1:20:58
So that road is bad for a. Real.
1:21:00
I've only seen like I've only seen like different color
1:21:03
pavement and usually that means it's gripier.
1:21:06
Yeah, like there was turns and well, there's turns around here
1:21:11
that oh the. Red.
1:21:12
The red. Shit, yeah.
1:21:13
And it's that you're like, that's a dangerous turn that.
1:21:15
Makes my car feel like shit if I'm drifting on it.
1:21:18
You ever drift on it? I don't know.
1:21:19
It's feels like shit. It it, it sounds bad.
1:21:23
It's like and then you're. Like it's probably.
1:21:25
Just grip it's. Trying to.
1:21:26
It's trying to. Fight like and then you just get
1:21:28
off of it and then it's just good.
1:21:30
Yeah, You know what we should do?
1:21:31
We should, we should go to like those little like small towns,
1:21:34
like small town America and like just like rent out one of those
1:21:39
towns that are like abandoned and then just shred that.
1:21:43
Just rent it out. I don't.
1:21:44
Yeah, or like. It's called Detroit.
1:21:46
Does that work like that and? Well, they did in Detroit,
1:21:49
didn't they? Do something?
1:21:50
You guys just in troll. Yeah, they're like, yeah, just
1:21:52
come in and shred. Can you Google what is that word
1:21:55
that you just started? Centralia, I don't think they
1:21:57
allowed us to. Is that that shit in PA?
1:21:59
Yeah, the roads are fucked up though.
1:22:01
The roads are fucked up now that's.
1:22:02
That tunnel of shit, that long thing.
1:22:04
There's a fire burning underneath the ground.
1:22:06
Yeah, constantly. No.
1:22:07
You know what you can do there? We can go off road in there.
1:22:10
You want to go? I guess that'd be so fun.
1:22:13
You could probably on road over there and it'd be just as bad.
1:22:16
I think the roads are fucked. Yeah, the roads are pretty
1:22:18
fucked. And you might just fall into a
1:22:19
pit that's hell. It's just that's it, straight to
1:22:22
hell. All right, I'm going.
1:22:23
But there has to be other places like like I think there's a
1:22:25
place over in Ohio called the Danger Zone where it's like some
1:22:28
sort of like airfield type place that I saw people drift out.
1:22:31
Like, I mean, talk about airfields, there's probably a
1:22:33
million places in the desert. Yeah, so I'm saying.
1:22:36
But that's like desert shit. You know, where I want to like,
1:22:41
I mean, we always talk about like, you know, where no one
1:22:46
talks about that. I kind of want to see if there's
1:22:48
any place we could drift down there, the swamps like the
1:22:51
Bayou. Like fucking you.
1:22:54
Know what I'm saying? Like think about not the pine
1:22:57
bears, not the pine, no, I'll talk about Louisiana like, you
1:22:59
know, alligator I am. Think about it though.
1:23:01
Think about. It that could be cool.
1:23:03
Think about it though, like you're in the swamp and like
1:23:05
obviously there's roads down there, but what if there is
1:23:07
windy roads down there? But just if you go off, it's
1:23:10
that's it. It's alligator.
1:23:13
That's it, you're getting. Eaten yo.
1:23:14
But then you let's say you see a video of someone who gets to the
1:23:18
other side and doesn't fall in. Tell me that's.
1:23:21
Not bad. Not yet.
1:23:22
So I've gone down this rabbit hole before, but with the state
1:23:25
of Florida because for some reason, yeah.
1:23:29
But Florida has it. But I mean like Louisiana.
1:23:31
Don't, no, but a state's so large all they got is skid pads.
1:23:34
There's like 17. I was about to say.
1:23:35
Florida's had enough time. Don't even give them I.
1:23:38
Don't get it though because I know tons.
1:23:40
Of I don't know what they're doing, there's a.
1:23:42
Crazy awesome community. There was a.
1:23:43
Great opportunity. And then they came out with
1:23:45
another one and I was like. Another parking lot.
1:23:48
Dude, yeah, another huge skid pad.
1:23:51
I went. What the fuck?
1:23:52
I went down a rabbit hole, OK, didn't take me long.
1:23:57
Abandoned go Kart tracks because in the in the 90s I was like 6
1:24:04
or 7. So yeah, I just felt weird to
1:24:07
say in the 90s or in 2001 there was a go Kart track.
1:24:14
It's. A good old day, the glory days.
1:24:15
Yeah, he was talking about 2020 years and there was a go Kart
1:24:18
track, open wheel. My parents have this somewhere
1:24:21
in a photo album, open wheel. The track is huge, would
1:24:26
absolutely satisfy a car like in terms of width and like how the
1:24:31
turns looked. It was in Florida and to me I'm
1:24:35
like. Where is it?
1:24:37
Fuck if I fuck if I know that I've been trying to find it.
1:24:39
So my first instinct was abandoned go Kart tracks,
1:24:43
because what do they do in Japan?
1:24:44
It's every sportsline, Yamanashi, all that shit.
1:24:46
Go Kart tracks, Suzuko or whatever.
1:24:50
So I typed in abandoned go Kart tracks.
1:24:51
You'll find them, and they're just like in the woods.
1:24:55
They're just waiting. They're no, no, they are a part
1:24:59
of the woods now, like you'll see on the Google Maps.
1:25:02
Well, we can just cut some trees down.
1:25:03
It's like Nazareth. It's not.
1:25:05
Like that anymore, like Nazareth used to be a racetrack in PA and
1:25:09
like that's gone, but it's like if you look at it 30 years ago,
1:25:13
I think it was still around or more than that or something
1:25:15
like. That like it's just it's just
1:25:16
grown it's and it sucks because I feel like just.
1:25:19
Cut the trees. I repave it.
1:25:20
I feel like it. Who?
1:25:21
Knows what it is. I don't know if it's like a
1:25:22
sound ordinance thing like every state has their own like stupid
1:25:26
twisted. Why enclosed but like or foot
1:25:29
traffic purely like you know, you had to get but I feel like
1:25:32
drifting was a little was a little late for those tracks
1:25:38
because if it was like a. Few years ago about to create
1:25:40
them because of drifting. Yeah, maybe, but they're getting
1:25:44
rid of they're getting rid of the what do you call in Florida
1:25:46
right now, bro? The what?
1:25:47
Baruso or like Palm? Springs Palm Beach, yeah,
1:25:51
they're getting rid of that went for sale.
1:25:53
So like, and that is the second. Can you can you Google that?
1:25:55
Palm Beach I I? Drifted that years and years and
1:26:01
years ago when they had like the Novi qualifier.
1:26:04
The Novi qualifier. This this one, this one for
1:26:07
sale. There it is listed for sale
1:26:09
Motor authority. You might click.
1:26:10
On that link. Oh, sick.
1:26:12
There's a. No, no, no.
1:26:13
Look, look in it. Look in it.
1:26:15
You see how there's a secondary little?
1:26:17
Yo, there's your swamp right there, Reese and.
1:26:19
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What?
1:26:21
The hell? Oh yeah, they got bought out.
1:26:23
Oh. How do we see the picture?
1:26:25
Let me go somewhere else. Like the images?
1:26:29
Oh yeah, here we go. Look, Frankie.
1:26:31
Look, so you look at that go Kart track earlier.
1:26:33
Oh nice, still flat as fucking boring.
1:26:35
It would be fun as fuck. Yeah, dude.
1:26:37
But that's all you're going to get in Florida, so at least
1:26:39
that's better than the that's. What I'm saying, I think the one
1:26:41
place that we haven't gone to are we haven't done.
1:26:43
Like, I just don't think anybody's going to Louisiana.
1:26:45
Like what if there's some cool ass like dude?
1:26:47
That's track on the left. Yeah, that track on the left.
1:26:51
Is. Like right here.
1:26:53
Why is no one like drifting this shit?
1:26:57
Did they drift it at one point? Yeah, what?
1:26:59
I guess so. Did you drift, Reese?
1:27:01
I don't know which one they did. It was so long ago.
1:27:05
It was a while ago. Dude that.
1:27:08
Is that looks like a runway. That would be a riot dude.
1:27:11
Imagine there. Was like barrows in the middle
1:27:13
where you had a manji that's like goes back then where
1:27:15
they're like oh you need you to manji around.
1:27:17
Because it goes back then, Manji was OK.
1:27:19
We have a Barrow here, just make sure you manji around it.
1:27:21
Dude, that end corner right there, that little, the little
1:27:25
yeah, pause. I'm a fucking.
1:27:28
Let's see. Look, here's a track.
1:27:30
But then it I mean, I guess it's too much money to maintain take.
1:27:34
Somebody and I don't. Know well they got a drag strip
1:27:36
too Sick. I didn't notice that.
1:27:37
Yeah, right on the out. Fuck that.
1:27:40
Look, it's E town but Florida. Yeah, and no one wants it, I
1:27:44
guess. No.
1:27:45
That's weird. How much is it?
1:27:47
20 bucks. I sold.
1:27:50
I mean someone. Should do it.
1:27:52
I mean, I get it I guess. How much is?
1:27:53
It Adam LZ should buy that shit I.
1:27:55
I get it. Like people go to the skip house
1:27:57
because like they won't break anything, I guess.
1:27:58
Like, I don't know, no. Every day it looks like they're
1:28:02
not in. Florida, they go there because
1:28:03
there's nowhere to go. Yeah, Yeah, it's true.
1:28:07
That's very true. I don't think those.
1:28:09
Like I know we get on Florida's case, but like I I feel bad for
1:28:12
them. What I'm?
1:28:14
Serious, they don't have a place to go.
1:28:17
They have what the compound that they illegally have to go shred.
1:28:20
Yeah, that's that's. Kind of sick.
1:28:22
I think that's kind of a dub now too though.
1:28:25
Really got blown up for so many every.
1:28:28
Everybody knows. About yeah, but still like,
1:28:30
that's all they got. So I, I right, I, I feel kind of
1:28:34
bad. Like it's like, you know, and
1:28:36
then this one place that just opened up.
1:28:38
I know. And like, they were like, Nah, I
1:28:40
was just gonna whisk a pad and. Something I know, but.
1:28:45
But it's like, you know, when you look at the numbers.
1:28:47
Yeah, 'cause you could use a skid pad for other things.
1:28:51
My takeovers mainly. Maybe you're freestyle.
1:28:55
Freestyle drifting. I think the you should.
1:28:57
Have a square guy but then like make something.
1:29:00
Else I think the issue is is that there's just so many
1:29:04
drifting events that it's really hard for you to have like a
1:29:07
specialty oriented track. Like it's just it's hard.
1:29:11
I mean, honestly, like I feel like even if we did have like an
1:29:14
abishu here where it was open all the time, it's E town.
1:29:18
We would think you exactly you would think it would work.
1:29:21
I. Get but it's.
1:29:22
Literally E town, you know? I love E town.
1:29:24
Yeah, but we're talking a place like Abishu that has like a toga
1:29:27
track that has this, that has that.
1:29:28
It would be the shit for a little bit, but I mean, but it
1:29:31
would. Go out of business.
1:29:32
Right away. Eventually it would, I think.
1:29:34
So right away, you know? No one would support it, no man.
1:29:36
No one would support it. We would.
1:29:38
It's all hot. T town would just you just drive
1:29:41
down there and just hop on. What like a toga if they?
1:29:45
Had to like it wasn't like race it was.
1:29:46
Like a pay as you. Yeah.
1:29:48
Like you get, you go down there and you can either drive this
1:29:51
track, you can drive this track, you can drive that track.
1:29:53
Oh, like it was just open for for business like and we're
1:29:56
open. I wanted to.
1:29:57
I wonder. I mean, I think it's like, all
1:29:59
right, So like, because a lot of people like, how come I can't be
1:30:02
that way? And my argument is like,
1:30:05
Americans have no etiquette. True, because everybody.
1:30:08
'S like God does this. Sir.
1:30:10
Well, I mean like, yo, you can do it in Japan, but I think it's
1:30:12
because of Japan. Everyone has like a decent like
1:30:15
yo, we we all have to be decent. We all have to be, you know what
1:30:18
I'm saying? Like, but in America, in in the
1:30:21
tri-state area, they're not going to be.
1:30:24
You're going to have to hire a lot of people.
1:30:25
Yeah, there's going to have to be security, yeah.
1:30:27
It's going to be full time, multiple people on every course
1:30:30
we. Can't just cut people loose here
1:30:32
like they cut people loose out there.
1:30:33
Like, again, I think over there there is a certain threshold of
1:30:36
like of etiquette, see that they have in those countries.
1:30:41
But in America, like we can't, we can't, you can't give us
1:30:44
that. Someone's going to get sued and
1:30:45
then that's it. I had this conversation with
1:30:49
somebody recently. I don't know if it was also
1:30:51
Nick. These these phone calls I have
1:30:53
with Nick are long. They're.
1:30:55
Cool the. Front Street, Nick.
1:30:57
Dude, I don't fucking guy. That's my guy.
1:31:01
That's my guy. That's so funny.
1:31:02
Bro, that's my guy, yo. He was telling me he's like, I
1:31:05
fuck with Reese, bro. I'm like, yeah, we haven't won
1:31:07
the pod, but we was talking and I was like, what?
1:31:14
Do you call him A? Few.
1:31:15
Don He's a Dawn. That's a Don of Staten.
1:31:18
Island he reminds me of like the dude that's always with Action
1:31:21
Bronson big body Biss. Oh yeah, best.
1:31:25
Oh my God. I.
1:31:25
Think. They got to know.
1:31:27
Like his energy? Yeah, they got to know each
1:31:29
other. There's no way.
1:31:30
You're just like, what's up? He's like, oh, you doing?
1:31:32
I'm like, yeah, that's what's up, dude.
1:31:35
Movie but. No, when I when I was talking to
1:31:36
him, I was like, wouldn't it be sick if E town where the shop is
1:31:41
right? Everything back there was
1:31:43
cleared and it was like people from around the world who want
1:31:46
to have a car here buy a car in the tri-state area.
1:31:49
We have an abundance of them. You fucking pick one, buy it,
1:31:52
have it there. There's a level of service where
1:31:56
we can maintain it. Rizzo would come grab it.
1:31:58
Drop it off a spot for the car too here.
1:32:00
We would work on it and then when they come here, they want
1:32:03
to drive it. There's an agreement.
1:32:05
Somebody's going to make sure that that car is working,
1:32:07
driving Goodwill tech it, boom. You want to schedule a East
1:32:09
Coast Drift school, private day, boom, you're out.
1:32:12
But everybody gets paid. You put the car back, we take
1:32:15
care of it, we get paid. Chris gets paid for all that.
1:32:18
That's kind of what we're thinking.
1:32:19
That's what I wish would be a thing.
1:32:22
I think it's more so like that someone has to like do that,
1:32:27
just do it just kind of like the Drift school thing.
1:32:29
Like years ago, it was like there was like 2.
1:32:32
And then it's like, you know what I mean?
1:32:34
Because then you're like, all right, so I just got to do XY
1:32:36
and Z. Yeah.
1:32:38
I think we are at the point where you could maybe do that,
1:32:40
like, but you also just have to make sure that there's always
1:32:44
going to be a steady influx of like, people coming in to do
1:32:47
that, you know what I mean? Like it's kind of like where I'm
1:32:51
at, where at the school, it's like, I could expand, but it's
1:32:53
like then you have to make sure. Like if I end up getting like an
1:32:55
instructor at my school, like now I have to make sure like,
1:32:59
just like you have an employee, you have to make sure there's
1:33:01
work, enough work to keep it going and then keep that flow
1:33:03
consistent. The thing for me is I just watch
1:33:07
so many of my friends buy a car in Japan from somebody they
1:33:13
don't even know. They buy it, They coordinate it.
1:33:16
That guy coordinates whatever they need to do on that end.
1:33:19
They get the car to the track, to the shot, whatever.
1:33:22
They fly there and it works and. I'm willing to do that for
1:33:27
Japanese drivers, but you? But you just said it.
1:33:30
You just said in Japan, in Japan.
1:33:32
So there is a nostalgia I think that goes along with doing it,
1:33:35
all of that. And it's like a whole, it's an
1:33:37
experience. But like, you know, now do I
1:33:40
think foreigners would like to have the same experience in
1:33:43
America? Sure.
1:33:45
But in order for you to get the same type of etiquette, yeah,
1:33:49
like in America, there's a price attached, attached to it for
1:33:52
sure. Where over there, it's just
1:33:54
common courtesy for some of these people for, you know, I'm
1:33:56
not saying no one has a bad experience, but from the most
1:33:59
part, we hear about how everybody's really like, really
1:34:02
good polite, there's really good etiquettes, just common decency.
1:34:06
So, like, I would like to think that's what it is.
1:34:08
But I mean, like we don't like, let's face it, we don't have
1:34:10
that here. We don't, and that's.
1:34:13
Shutting down my operation? No, no.
1:34:15
I mean. No, I'm not.
1:34:16
I'm not you. Just you.
1:34:18
Can't do it. I'm not.
1:34:19
They're way. They're way nicer over there,
1:34:21
I'll tell you that. I'm not.
1:34:22
Disagreeing the. Slightest I'd be no, but I said
1:34:25
if you do it, there has to be a price attached to it.
1:34:27
So like if you were to do it in order for you to have the same
1:34:30
attention. 100 bucks. Yeah, yeah.
1:34:32
And there needs to be a a price attached to that that makes you
1:34:36
get the same type of service that you're going to get.
1:34:38
It's going to be somewhat of a premium because like you can't
1:34:43
really do that anywhere else. We.
1:34:44
Got to maintain the cars. We got a storm here.
1:34:47
We got to make sure they're still running.
1:34:48
Good luck trying to get in the E town at night, you're fucked.
1:34:51
Yeah. Danny's going to get your ass.
1:34:54
I think, I think it can be done. I think, man, I just there's
1:34:59
just so many events. You just, I wish I just knew
1:35:01
like how long, much longer like this wave, because the wave is
1:35:04
so big right now. The wave has always been.
1:35:06
Growing What's going to happen? Though but it's not.
1:35:08
It's going to stop. Where's it going to crash?
1:35:10
When's it going to crash? What's not going to crash, dude?
1:35:12
That's it. I don't want it to.
1:35:14
We're here. I know.
1:35:16
This is it. You know how you just get real
1:35:18
comfortable and you're just like, this is really great.
1:35:20
How long? But I don't want to.
1:35:21
Get caught lacking. I don't want to get caught
1:35:23
lacking. Yeah, I don't want to get caught
1:35:24
lacking either. But you know, I don't want to
1:35:26
get. You you guys, I have a fucking
1:35:29
shot built on this shit. You can fuck you gotta.
1:35:32
You can pivot you. Pivot.
1:35:34
We all have Korean. I'm literally fucked.
1:35:37
And I don't give a damn. I think, dude, I think, like I
1:35:39
said, how long has drag racing been cool in America?
1:35:42
100 years. That's true.
1:35:44
You can't just, like, retire. We're good.
1:35:46
We're started, We're good. I think we're good.
1:35:48
Dude, yeah, we're good. At least our generation.
1:35:49
No, you know what? EPA comes in and that's.
1:35:52
Why I'm scared? That's why I'm.
1:35:53
Scared. Our sport fucking horrible for
1:35:59
the environment. Well, yeah, everything.
1:36:01
I don't like your attitude. Everything.
1:36:03
Yeah, I really like that. My sisters is an
1:36:05
environmentalist. But didn't they say like what?
1:36:08
Didn't they say the white smoke from the tires isn't like really
1:36:10
bad because it's just like evaporation of like water or
1:36:13
something like that? Sure, that's the most info I've
1:36:16
got you. Ever smell that?
1:36:18
No, no, I'm good. It just smells like something
1:36:20
that shouldn't be ingested. I'm just going to do what
1:36:23
everybody else does. I'll go and Reddit and then
1:36:24
whatever agrees with what I'm thinking.
1:36:26
Then that's it. I'm just taking that.
1:36:28
OK. No, I mean I it's definitely not
1:36:32
good for the environment, but neither are fucking batteries
1:36:34
and Teslas, so. Look what's better, drifting
1:36:37
tires and it burns up white or burning them when they burn up
1:36:40
black. What?
1:36:42
What is the fucking difference? Actually shiver.
1:36:45
Yeah, that's right. It is when we look real dumb.
1:36:48
Talk about looking underneath your Snapple cap now,
1:36:50
motherfucker. Malcolm, can you what's?
1:36:52
That you. Fucking no no, but it sounded
1:36:54
good. I added it in.
1:36:54
There oh. Come on, Malcolm, what is the
1:36:56
difference? So, well, what you're looking?
1:36:58
No, I don't fucking. OK, well, the tire is melting
1:37:01
when it's burning. Well, isn't it melting when
1:37:03
we're burning when we're going? Yes.
1:37:05
The same. I think, I think when what we're
1:37:07
doing is it's, it's, it's tearing it.
1:37:11
Yeah, but there's, but there's white smoke.
1:37:13
It's still. So what's the difference between
1:37:14
the white smoke? Have you ever touched a tire?
1:37:17
Right. So what's the difference between
1:37:18
the white smoke and the black smoke?
1:37:20
You light it on fire and it and it's black smoke, only you drift
1:37:24
it and it's white smoke. Look, I don't know sometimes.
1:37:27
You burn wood is white smoke and sometimes it burns black well.
1:37:30
Because of the condensation, so it has.
1:37:31
Something to do with? Water.
1:37:33
I have no idea. And someone with a PhD.
1:37:37
Somebody someone's happened these.
1:37:39
Guys are fucking dumb. Why am I even a legend of this
1:37:42
good? Go listen.
1:37:42
There's probably someone like. I know the answer.
1:37:44
Yeah, they know the answer. So bad they're like, there's
1:37:47
gotta. Be one, Why can't they say?
1:37:49
It some dude in the middle of nowhere, like in a field right
1:37:52
now. There's one chemist listening to
1:37:53
this and he's like, come on, guys.
1:37:55
It's simple, OK, OK. He has an E30.
1:37:58
It'll never know. I'll.
1:38:01
Never. I'll never stop.
1:38:03
I've I've found the way of driving that I like, which
1:38:08
there's people that like to drive front wheel drive, 4 wheel
1:38:10
drive, whatever. OK, I've found the way that I
1:38:12
like if they make us drive just electric.
1:38:17
I'm not drifting. You are lying if you don't think
1:38:20
the first thing I'm doing. Oh.
1:38:23
That's good for you. I'm not.
1:38:24
Doing that, that's the first thing I'm going to try.
1:38:26
I'm going to bitch about it the entire.
1:38:27
Yeah, I'm not doing that shit. I would have.
1:38:29
To find a way to like it. I'm going to kick and scream and
1:38:31
just pull the old man card. I'll keep the shop open and
1:38:34
we'll change batteries. Like it was better back in our
1:38:36
day when there was petrol. I would I would have to remember
1:38:39
that and be like go to the garage.
1:38:43
Open I think. I think power by Max is is.
1:38:45
That's why that what they're. Doing ambo stuff to the Tesla's
1:38:49
and stuff like that like that. That's what made me think of it.
1:38:50
They were drifting the hell it looked you.
1:38:52
Said power by Max is doing this. Yeah, part shop Max Power by
1:38:56
Max. Did you slap the shit out of
1:38:57
Tommy? Because that's the.
1:38:59
What? Is that your friend Tesla's?
1:39:01
Is that your boy dog? 'S wack.
1:39:02
He's out there. It's on YouTube, do you want to
1:39:04
see a video? Yeah, sure.
1:39:05
It's a market, Yeah. Dude, yeah, they're smart.
1:39:08
Is that your boy? Because they're really smart for
1:39:10
that. Me and Tommy.
1:39:11
I'm hoping events, I'm hoping eventually like the the Tesla's
1:39:14
or whatever ends up becoming like the the RC cars or
1:39:17
something. And I thought you were about to
1:39:19
hate on him. I was like.
1:39:20
I am hating on him I. Know why?
1:39:21
Why know it's? We are.
1:39:23
We like cars, so like, it's hard.
1:39:24
There's no way he actually likes is he's just like, this is a
1:39:26
good opportunity. He seems like a good he's.
1:39:30
Got to be that. If he runs parts by Max I'm
1:39:32
sure. There's good reasoning bro.
1:39:35
Is that him? This is for real right now.
1:39:38
No, it's wait, no. It's Oh my.
1:39:40
God, they're really going in hard with this shit.
1:39:43
Yeah, they're really doing it, dude.
1:39:45
A Hydro. Did I click one?
1:39:47
No, I mean. Who do you think has I?
1:39:48
Want to see it just drift? Off dude or nothing?
1:39:50
Do they have one where it's drifting Malcolm?
1:39:53
Oh my God, are they really? Doing There it is.
1:39:55
There it is. There it is.
1:39:56
They're really doing that, that whatever clip that one is where
1:39:58
it's drifting at Grange. Yeah.
1:40:01
Driftable. Yeah, There we go.
1:40:04
Isn't that weird? It's just.
1:40:06
Going to sound really bad. It's going to sound.
1:40:10
Like it's going. To sound like the worst part.
1:40:12
I want it to sound like pirate wheels.
1:40:16
Oh whoa this is so wild. Oh damn, what the fuck?
1:40:22
So it does it disengage the drivetron?
1:40:25
Let's be honest, that thing's a nardy wheel away from being OK,
1:40:28
no? Not too many, but if that's what
1:40:30
you're into, look. At Frankie is a drift thing.
1:40:33
It's literally a three wheel drive car.
1:40:34
Why wouldn't we try to drift? It it doesn't sound cool, look
1:40:37
cool, act cool. Would you prefer smell cool?
1:40:39
Would you prefer a VQ? Yes, damn.
1:40:43
One for the VQ, I think it's on like gram lights on the front
1:40:46
too. Look, you'll have to convince
1:40:47
me. Let's go out there, do a
1:40:48
podcast, and we'll go drifting. Oh, look at that.
1:40:51
What the? Fuck, this is something else.
1:40:54
Oh, get the hell. Out there.
1:40:55
I mean, think about it. That's fitting the Bill Gates
1:40:57
demographic. What is the Bill Gates
1:41:00
demographic? People that look like that dude,
1:41:02
just that's what. They're now that is.
1:41:04
Right, that's that's somebody who is they probably hear
1:41:08
thought they're they're they're definitely.
1:41:10
I mean, someone's got to do it. They're putting their thought
1:41:13
forward for the sport in a good way.
1:41:16
And then you have people like us who are like, ah, we hate it.
1:41:18
We want the sport to be pure. We're the reason why this sport
1:41:21
ain't going to grow. That's what that is.
1:41:23
Whatever, whatever. You got we need people like you
1:41:27
that do all that kumbaya shit just like you need people like
1:41:30
us to be like fuck that. That shit's cool.
1:41:32
That's exactly. Right.
1:41:34
What's the people like complaining about?
1:41:36
They're like, oh, do you think the drift scene is negative?
1:41:41
Everyone's always bringing this up.
1:41:43
It's. It's because, yo, it's just
1:41:44
America's really big and like, you know, like we can't act the
1:41:49
way we act in certain parts of the country.
1:41:51
People are always like, we always get a question.
1:41:53
Sometimes we get questions there like how do you feel about the
1:41:55
culture and this and that. And I'm like, dude, I don't give
1:41:58
a fuck about any of that shit. And.
1:42:00
It's good. I think that's like, again, that
1:42:03
little Dome we keep talking about.
1:42:05
I think it's Instagram. Everyone's just living on
1:42:07
Instagram. They're like, dude, these people
1:42:08
are mean. It's like I.
1:42:10
Told I told dudes straight up I'm like, like, do you have a
1:42:12
car? They're like, yeah, car cool.
1:42:14
Like you should go out and hang out with your friends.
1:42:16
Like yeah, me chicks like yo like the real shit dude, go out
1:42:21
there. It's just, you know, like go
1:42:23
through, you need, you need to go through all of that.
1:42:26
Like there's, there's like a, a, there's like a, a certain, I
1:42:32
don't know, like a group of people or a certain demographic
1:42:36
where they don't have access to things like that.
1:42:39
Like you can't just drive an hour and blow through like 17
1:42:44
towns. Yeah, we do live in a good.
1:42:45
Area and then in those 17, in those seventeen towns, there's
1:42:49
at least one person who fucks with you in.
1:42:54
That 17 obviously if you're like, if you're in middle
1:42:56
America and you're the only person that's doing drifting in
1:42:59
your town, obviously what we're saying doesn't relate to you and
1:43:03
like you have to go about it a more creative way, you know, to
1:43:06
try to get that. But I mean.
1:43:07
You're going to have to move. For the most part, yeah, you're
1:43:09
going to have to move. This is what you really want to
1:43:11
do, which, you know, lines up with a lot of like, how many
1:43:13
times have you heard Scott, I'm going to move to California.
1:43:15
Yeah. Or you know, Or you're.
1:43:17
Just going to be the cool guy in that area.
1:43:19
That's yeah. And that's cool.
1:43:20
You're the fucking cool guy. You're the guy.
1:43:22
That's cool, you know. Or girl.
1:43:25
Know the bar is maybe not, you know, like.
1:43:29
But you're there to. But you're there.
1:43:30
You're there to set it. That's what.
1:43:32
That's why it's like. But you, the whole point is you
1:43:35
need a community, you need friends.
1:43:36
But I don't think there's negativity.
1:43:37
I just think, again, I, I think the community has just grown.
1:43:42
And when it grows, you're going to have a lot more different
1:43:44
personalities. Some people that don't like, you
1:43:48
know, there's a lot of people from the East Coast that aren't
1:43:49
like us, that are very polite, that are like.
1:43:52
Where are those? People, you know, I mean, I
1:43:54
don't know, I don't really talk to them, but I mean, like,
1:43:56
there's people like that that exist.
1:43:57
I bring them I. Bring them to time every time
1:44:01
because now now y'all are really good friends.
1:44:04
But we have this friend of ours who's on Road star Justin.
1:44:09
Frankie was so fucking. Why is he so nice?
1:44:13
Bro, he's just got. He's got to understand this.
1:44:15
Completely. He's got to be up to something,
1:44:17
dude. You know.
1:44:18
What you mean? But he's just genuinely one of
1:44:20
the nicest people. And they're like, too nice.
1:44:23
You think they're like? Even when no one's looking,
1:44:26
they're nice. That's the kind of nice Jason.
1:44:28
You just said it right there. You think they're fucking you?
1:44:30
Think you're fucking with you? That's how nice they are.
1:44:32
Yeah, yeah. I it took me like 4 times
1:44:34
meeting Justin before I was like you know what dude?
1:44:36
You're you're not right, guy. That's an insane.
1:44:38
'Cause you're like, what aim are you wearing?
1:44:39
Yeah, I'm like, literally, that's what I was.
1:44:42
Saying. I was like, what is he trying to
1:44:45
do? And then I was like, oh, he's
1:44:46
just a good person. That's weird.
1:44:48
You're like, no you're not. Yo, you ever?
1:44:50
Oh well, you don't. And then I even found out he's
1:44:51
from California. But I was like, now it makes
1:44:53
sense and it's true 'cause like when I was in, you know, when I
1:44:56
was in California for a little bit, I met people like that when
1:45:00
I was in Washington state or in Portland area in the Vancouver
1:45:05
little section. Like there's just people that
1:45:07
are different, you know what I mean?
1:45:08
It's cool, you know, it's, it's different for me because the way
1:45:12
I joke around with people that I'm cool with is different than
1:45:15
yeah, dude, than that. Totally.
1:45:17
There's nothing wrong with that, you know, And when you think
1:45:20
about it, like if you didn't know any better, you would think
1:45:24
we hated each other. Yeah.
1:45:26
So I, I can kind of see how like someone from Arizona or like
1:45:28
Utah or like wherever over there, they're just kind of
1:45:31
like, so you guys cool. No, it's, it's like I feel like
1:45:34
it's AI want people to remember sometimes.
1:45:40
And I've and this attitude of mine has changed over the years
1:45:43
we've had this podcast. We've seen you grow.
1:45:47
I've been fucking. We've seen him grow over the
1:45:48
years. Yeah, yeah.
1:45:50
Grove hate. OK, like not the the the the
1:45:56
person that's complaining and asking about the industry or the
1:45:59
drift. Scene.
1:46:01
Not everyone is your friend. And like, I mean that in the
1:46:06
best way possible. Because if if this is going to
1:46:11
sound so fucking bad, if you're giving your love out to
1:46:16
everybody, then your love means nothing.
1:46:19
Damn. You know what I mean?
1:46:21
Yo, not for nothing. Bars, bars.
1:46:25
That was. D all day, but no really though.
1:46:28
What the fuck are you talking about if you're?
1:46:30
If you're, if you're, if you're just, if you're just trying to
1:46:33
be friends with everybody, like every event, every event, you're
1:46:36
just trying to make friends. Da da da da da, everybody's your
1:46:38
friend. No matter what all your views,
1:46:40
you're not going to have a single believe in anything.
1:46:42
It's going to be hard for you to believe in one thing because
1:46:45
you're. Letting everybody just.
1:46:47
I think what you're saying is like, be nice but don't be
1:46:50
gullible is what you're. Saying, yeah, like still hang
1:46:54
out with people because you want to hang out with them, not
1:46:56
because they're the only people you want to hang out with or
1:46:58
that you can hang out with because just because that person
1:47:02
likes one thing, you like the other.
1:47:05
It's. Like what I said before, life is
1:47:07
perspective. So I mean, like, for instance,
1:47:10
I, my brother like his, he's very content with just watching
1:47:14
the Eagles and it's his whole thing.
1:47:16
And they go down there, they do the tailgating.
1:47:18
Are you a Eagles guy too? I'm from Philadelphia.
1:47:20
Yeah, I. Mean so you fucking sing the
1:47:22
song and know whatever. I can spell, yes.
1:47:25
Some people can't. I know my mayor can't.
1:47:28
She's a stupid anyway. She's horrible.
1:47:33
We might have to edit this podcast.
1:47:36
No, she didn't spell it right and she didn't.
1:47:38
No, yo, it's not made-up. It's.
1:47:40
Not made-up, she spelled it incorrectly.
1:47:42
But this is what I like about Philadelphia.
1:47:44
Immediately they came out with T-shirts with the incorrect
1:47:48
spelling and people bought it. Of course, that's the city of
1:47:51
Hustlers. Growing the economy.
1:47:52
So what, you're supposed to like, sing?
1:47:55
I don't know. Anything.
1:47:56
You're not going to get me to say it, but yeah, you spell it
1:47:57
out, OK? Like spell out eagles.
1:47:59
Like chanting A. C.
1:48:01
TI, Oh and faction. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that and.
1:48:05
She spelt it wrong. Yeah, and stayed with it.
1:48:09
ESG I think is what she spelled instead of EAG she.
1:48:11
Said EOE. Yes, yeah.
1:48:14
I was like, well. She should not be in her
1:48:17
position of power. It wasn't even that funny, but
1:48:22
Reese started laughing and I was looking at Reese.
1:48:24
I just started laughing just immediately like, well, I don't
1:48:27
know. It wasn't.
1:48:28
Yeah, it was like she just kept with it and I was like, you
1:48:31
spelled it wrong, bro, like. That's that's bad.
1:48:34
Like it's not that long of a word.
1:48:37
No it isn't dude. It's like everyone.
1:48:39
It's chanted forever everywhere like.
1:48:42
The Philly fan base was, I went to school like right across
1:48:45
that, that bridge there and fucking when they made the Super
1:48:49
Bowl for the first time. It was.
1:48:51
Going a long time. Yeah, it was wild.
1:48:53
The city shut down, dude. The classes, the cops were just
1:48:57
like, yeah, like. Dude, the classes.
1:48:59
When they were, when they were riding or whatever.
1:49:01
Yeah, when they won. When they won.
1:49:02
When they won, yeah, same thing. But even when they first went
1:49:05
and everybody was going to go watch them, bro, classes were
1:49:07
all going on that day. The campus was never so dead.
1:49:10
I didn't see anybody. They were running buses.
1:49:13
People were just standing outside.
1:49:14
To to to Philadelphia and back. Like to to make sure that
1:49:17
everybody was able to go was fucking wild.
1:49:20
So I guess that's a big football team.
1:49:22
Yeah, yeah. Like we're, yeah, we're going to
1:49:25
the Super Bowl the next weekend. Wait, where is this are?
1:49:27
You fucking are you really? No, not as in Philadelphia, as
1:49:30
I'm not going I. Was like what the?
1:49:32
Fuck. Aren't they?
1:49:33
I'm trying to be at the school. Where is the Super Bowl this
1:49:35
year? Somewhere.
1:49:37
Good. Yeah, I figured that.
1:49:39
Where is it? I don't know.
1:49:39
Where is it? Where is it?
1:49:42
Yo what more of a car guy movement?
1:49:44
We all genuinely do not know where the screw control is at.
1:49:47
It's. In California.
1:49:48
Sunday I thought it was a night that's it's OK, I had no.
1:49:51
Idea that I thought for some reason I heard it was.
1:49:53
It's the Eagles, and like Chiefs, the Chiefs.
1:49:56
New Orleans New. Orleans.
1:49:57
Holy shit I got that. Nice.
1:49:59
Why did I? Say because.
1:50:01
The inside because. We were talking about Louisiana
1:50:03
and then drifting in the Bayou full circle.
1:50:07
I thought you were going to bring up your brother.
1:50:08
Tristan in the Bayou, bro. That's going to be a thing one
1:50:11
day. Could you imagine like first
1:50:13
drift? Team out of there Bayou brigade
1:50:15
slot sliding Bayou Bayou to Bayou brigade I like.
1:50:20
That I see what the Bayou Brigade Bayou.
1:50:24
Brigade because there was a drift.
1:50:25
There was a drift of a team that was drift for good.
1:50:27
Yeah, but whatever. Bayou Brigade is better.
1:50:31
Bayou Brigade sounds fired. Yeah.
1:50:33
Yeah, but Malcolm? We can't, I mean, but they have
1:50:35
to talk. They have to talk that one get
1:50:37
it? Could you imagine if you get a
1:50:39
whole bunch of swamp people that are like swamp people?
1:50:41
Like first of all. I should be not gonna be happy.
1:50:45
Yo, because the the TV show Swamp People, they're from down
1:50:48
there from the Bayou. Is that a show?
1:50:50
That's a show. From the Bayou.
1:50:52
Yeah, check on this can. You Fact Check.
1:50:55
This man no, it's from the show there's that's a show I'll.
1:50:57
Fucking watch the swamp. People.
1:50:59
Yo, I promise you do. Need your own ideas?
1:51:01
I think ever to watch. But yeah, Oh my God, it's a
1:51:04
show. It's a show.
1:51:05
That guy sounds exactly like that.
1:51:06
Looks. Like he sounds.
1:51:07
Yeah, exactly, exactly. Literally the way he looks is
1:51:11
how he. Sounds well, I'm just trying to
1:51:12
think of the guy from the water Boy.
1:51:14
You know the guy from the water boy.
1:51:16
You like to be homo naked. You like to see homo?
1:51:18
Naked. Look at that.
1:51:19
That guy. Yeah, that is like that from the
1:51:21
movie. That guy.
1:51:22
That could be you, Carl. That guy rides a fat Bob.
1:51:26
Harley. 100 percent, 1000%. Even though.
1:51:29
The fat Bob is ugly. Is it one of those hover things
1:51:32
with the fan on it? Was it called?
1:51:34
Such a fan boat fan, boat fan. Boat I could see Carl whipping.
1:51:38
I went to New Orleans a few times.
1:51:40
Yeah, yeah. Fucking I went there once, I
1:51:42
loved it. I, I I.
1:51:43
Imagine imagine meeting a drift team that had good looking cars
1:51:47
not from the Bayou. Not happening fire.
1:51:50
Prove me wrong. They come, you know, but imagine
1:51:52
how hard would that be they come out.
1:51:54
Those people. Yo that.
1:51:56
Is crazy. But I'm that's what I'm saying.
1:51:59
That's how. Hard it is.
1:51:59
No, that's what that's not. What I'm saying is crazy.
1:52:02
What I'm saying is crazy is that Frankie is so shocked that that
1:52:06
would be impossible. The swamp people.
1:52:09
You never know, dude. You never.
1:52:10
Know you'll learn a thing or two from this people.
1:52:12
What? If they come out with like like
1:52:15
some like old school over. Yeah, dude, I would be so
1:52:17
fucking interested in what they're building.
1:52:19
What of? Course you would you close.
1:52:21
You close minded? Fuck, have a well what is it a
1:52:24
squirrel burger or something? I don't know.
1:52:26
I don't know. Maybe.
1:52:27
Maybe not that I'll have. Maybe.
1:52:29
I've had Gator before. You've had some rice.
1:52:31
I haven't had it. I've had Gator before, or at
1:52:32
least they said I still. Like it before?
1:52:34
But it's like chicken, isn't it? I don't know, it was like Gator
1:52:37
bites. I'm like, so a chicken nugget.
1:52:39
Yeah, I heard. I heard it tastes like.
1:52:40
Chicken, right? Like great, let's be honest.
1:52:42
Like, oh, you're having Gator bite something.
1:52:43
So basically chicken Nuggets. Yeah, nonetheless, though,
1:52:46
that's how, that's that's why, that's why you got to have all
1:52:50
the flavors, dude. What do you mean?
1:52:51
That's like the definition of America swamp people that you
1:52:55
could be friends with somebody who's from the swamp and I don't
1:52:58
even really know if I want to say swamp people.
1:53:00
That sounds so fucking. That's ATV show.
1:53:03
I feel like we got friends who probably are who are or
1:53:05
listeners who are from maybe that area.
1:53:07
And like now, I wouldn't call him like a swamp person.
1:53:10
I mean, if he looks like that, yeah.
1:53:12
I just want to hear a swamp person.
1:53:15
What's what's so bad? All right, so we said swamp
1:53:17
person and they say I'm a city slicker.
1:53:19
I wear that with the with the, you know, I.
1:53:22
Am. That sounds really cool.
1:53:23
Right. I'm a city.
1:53:24
Slicker. Yeah, see, that's the problem.
1:53:25
We get all the cool. Names.
1:53:26
Yeah, I'd. Be pulling up.
1:53:27
No, we hold up. They made a they.
1:53:29
Made a whole. They made a whole movie called
1:53:31
City Slickers where like the city slickers were like the
1:53:33
dumbasses. I mean, they are.
1:53:35
We are the dumbasses. Bring us down there.
1:53:36
We're gonna be like. Huh.
1:53:37
Yeah, and they know how to guess what the fire probably survive.
1:53:40
Yeah, bring bring me into PA like in two hours in and I'm
1:53:44
still gonna be that down. That's true.
1:53:45
Yes, to survive down there. I guarantee you we would not.
1:53:49
Yeah. No, we would not, No.
1:53:50
We would get fucking killed right away 100%.
1:53:53
They're going to be like, OK, now hunt your own food.
1:53:55
I'd be like. That's why it fascinates me.
1:53:56
I'll watch them. Those people are living this
1:53:58
fucking like fucking bugs alone bro.
1:54:02
It would be I'm getting malaria. You're a Filipino, you should be
1:54:05
used to it right though? They when I go to the
1:54:07
Philippines, crazy. When I go to the Philippines,
1:54:09
the bugs over there, they don't, they don't need my blood.
1:54:11
They're like, I'm sick. I'm sick of your shit.
1:54:13
Him right here. They're they're, they're gonna
1:54:14
eat me up. They're eating him up.
1:54:16
Yeah, they're like. Sucking the shit out of your.
1:54:17
Paws occasion, but whoa. Wait, wait.
1:54:20
But why? Why is that?
1:54:22
I don't know what the bugs think.
1:54:23
'Cause they're like, I already had this flavor before, Like I
1:54:26
want Gator bites. OK, truly.
1:54:30
Dude, I fucking yo. I haven't had a mosquito bite in
1:54:33
so fucking long. Yeah.
1:54:35
The winter the. Winter has felt that long.
1:54:38
Is that weird? The winter was like, not even
1:54:41
happening. January was a fucking marriage.
1:54:44
Three weeks of doing nothing now.
1:54:47
I love January. January was our best mom.
1:54:50
That's why I loved it. It's because you had a crazy
1:54:52
giveaway. Who won the?
1:54:53
Who won the body kit? Who won it?
1:54:56
His name is Chad Morris. Chad Morris from California.
1:55:01
California had a had a S13. We called him today.
1:55:07
Yo, you want a body kit? He's like, really?
1:55:11
Yeah. He's like, that's sick.
1:55:13
I'm like, yeah, typical California.
1:55:15
The right coast got it, so that'll look good.
1:55:17
Yeah, so I have a feeling his car probably looks really good
1:55:20
so. He was souped on it.
1:55:22
Yeah, he was stoked. See, that's, that's how, that's
1:55:25
how the drift the universe balance things out.
1:55:27
They're nicer people, but they have nicer cars than we do.
1:55:30
I don't really enter. Right.
1:55:31
Let's be honest. Yeah.
1:55:33
We're meaner people. They're I think things are.
1:55:36
I guess I can't come on. We're we're nice over here.
1:55:38
Stop. We have a couple.
1:55:40
We have a couple over here. But I'm saying things are
1:55:42
things. Have a fleet.
1:55:45
Yes and no. I think they're starting to get
1:55:47
ugly cars over there now. They got history.
1:55:49
Yeah, but I'm saying now I think it's going both ways or like
1:55:52
now. It's a mess of fucking.
1:55:53
Instagram bro who? Who?
1:55:56
Owns it right now 2025. The Midwest will own it forever
1:56:01
Every. Style.
1:56:02
Game ever since risky double right?
1:56:04
There's a Texas. It'll never go away if you go to
1:56:06
don't forget about Texas. Have you been a final?
1:56:09
No, no, no. No, when you go there and you
1:56:11
spend like the two days before or whatever.
1:56:14
I feel like it's going to just ruin me.
1:56:15
I'm be like alright guys, you fucked up.
1:56:18
You are going to feel that way a little bit, but you're going to
1:56:20
understand. Drivers meeting FD hey.
1:56:23
Shut it down. Yeah, everything here is ugly.
1:56:25
But you're going to, you're going to feel, you're going to,
1:56:27
you're going to have the same thought process that I'm having.
1:56:29
You're going to be like, yeah, they got this shit on lock.
1:56:31
Then you're going. To go to Culver's bro.
1:56:33
But he's right about Texas, though.
1:56:34
Texas is a Texas. Is looking good, Yeah, knuckle
1:56:36
up is. Looking good, I mean Texas.
1:56:38
I think right now, right now, you see knuckle up, you see club
1:56:44
Fr. I don't say final bet, I'll just
1:56:46
say club Fr. Was it good, Good luck, League,
1:56:54
good luck, good luck? Something like that, Yeah.
1:56:56
Isn't that the guy's from the the goodest past and all that?
1:56:58
I don't know. Do you know Carl?
1:57:00
Good luck, League. Is that a thing?
1:57:02
Yeah, that's how they're in. California, I think.
1:57:05
That's Palmer and all. Them.
1:57:07
No no no, that's goodest cast. Good luck.
1:57:09
League is run by fuck Stevie would know.
1:57:14
Well, that that little bubble of people over there that.
1:57:18
But that's not just over there cuz when you think about it.
1:57:20
So now we're now we got West Coast, East Coast, Midwest.
1:57:23
South and and drift in the the the what because of what Derrick
1:57:26
King and all that they've really cleaned up.
1:57:28
Dude, they're. Style wise.
1:57:30
Oh yeah, Derrick King runs a Runs an.
1:57:32
That's the Midwest. Ship over there, huh?
1:57:34
That's the Midwest. Yeah, yeah.
1:57:36
Like I'm I'm telling you, man, Midwest is they're going to be
1:57:38
on top for a while when it comes to the style, in my opinion, I
1:57:41
think. What do you?
1:57:42
Think that is because in the water.
1:57:45
No, because I think, well, yes, but because, okay, hear me out
1:57:49
before social media. Yeah, there's fucking extra
1:57:52
calcium in it. What was the pipes?
1:57:54
Before where did we go? Where did we go wrong?
1:57:56
I. Don't know about that, but
1:57:57
before social media it was you did things that your peers did
1:58:02
right and that was it, right? Right.
1:58:04
And of course, you know, videos and stuff like that from Japan
1:58:06
and other things like. That so you think external
1:58:08
influence kind of a. 100% but it but but they're surrounded by
1:58:13
basically the proceed guys and risky devil.
1:58:16
Those were the elders in the group.
1:58:17
Those are the first people to do it and they all got their
1:58:21
inspiration from Japan. So their cars were Immaculate,
1:58:24
looking cool, like factory body kit.
1:58:27
Not to mention they had Toby Factory over there.
1:58:29
So Dave, Dave's doing the same thing.
1:58:31
So now they have that whole community and what do we have
1:58:33
over here? We're just we have Raceway Park,
1:58:37
so that's a big thing as far as driving is concerned.
1:58:40
We have the best track that anyone had in the country, I
1:58:43
would say, for drifting. So what is that going?
1:58:45
To produce. That's going to produce current
1:58:48
the best drivers. Do you think, do you think we
1:58:52
ended up taking the route that we have?
1:58:55
I, I, well, I don't want to say I, I think because of the heavy
1:58:59
influence from Drift Alliance. Not, not, not exactly.
1:59:03
If I had to put a put a thing as I'm saying this, I'm I'm
1:59:06
figuring it out. They don't have a track over
1:59:08
there in Chicago. They have little skid pads and
1:59:13
stuff like that. But their stuff was real St.
1:59:16
stuff because they really didn't have a track.
1:59:18
We have fucking Raceway Park an hour away, so our stuff, our
1:59:23
drift drifting was mainly on the track and especially drift
1:59:27
lines. And all those guys were doing it
1:59:28
before we were or before I was. And when you're on the track,
1:59:32
you're going to break shit a lot more often.
1:59:34
Your body keeps going to break everything.
1:59:36
You're going to go off the track.
1:59:37
Everything's going to be broken eventually.
1:59:39
You don't really give a fuck about how it looks anymore.
1:59:43
I think that's it. Yeah.
1:59:44
So we're a product of our environment.
1:59:46
You. Don't think.
1:59:49
Until someone comes in and changes it.
1:59:51
I think that was you guys though.
1:59:52
When you I thought it was too. When?
1:59:54
You guys in Front Street showed up.
1:59:56
You guys were like you guys kind of, at least from my
1:59:59
perspective. You guys picked up where Brian
2:00:03
Wilkerson stopped when he had his clean.
2:00:07
Yeah, his clean coupe. Oh, coupe, OK.
2:00:10
Yeah, yeah, I know the the Rigamasters and stuff like that
2:00:12
and it. Was really and Wagner's.
2:00:13
Car and Wagner's car and stuff like that.
2:00:15
Yeah, I mean, obviously they're, they were getting style
2:00:17
influence from Japan and other, other places like that.
2:00:21
We, me and Josh, I can tell you we're getting a lot of our
2:00:24
inspiration from street drifting in Chicago because it was
2:00:28
videotaped and it was online now.
2:00:31
So we are like, yo, this shit's sick.
2:00:33
So it was like we kind of brought that over here because
2:00:37
we were like, well, we like driving on the street.
2:00:39
We like cool, cool cars, but we obviously love and it's.
2:00:42
Because when you guys started doing that, the rest of us like
2:00:49
like Dan Savage, Jeff Stoneback, Steve Angerman, like all these
2:00:53
other dudes that were showing up at that time, we had already
2:00:55
started moving into program cards because there wasn't any.
2:01:00
There wasn't that. And the last time we saw that
2:01:04
was like the D1 show off demos that they would do like at E
2:01:08
Town. Yeah, that shit.
2:01:10
Yeah. Yeah, and it was crazy.
2:01:12
Yo, they, they, they, they stomped all over us.
2:01:14
Timing is everything too, because you got to remember like
2:01:16
Petty and all those guys were experiencing that, and you too,
2:01:19
I'm assuming. I came in the tail end of it.
2:01:22
Yeah, so like you guys already experienced that shit, so
2:01:25
they're kind of over that now. They're like, oh, comp driving
2:01:28
that's kind of obviously not petty is in the comp driving,
2:01:30
but everyone else is like, oh, comp driving like let's try this
2:01:33
out. I and I think the reason we
2:01:35
ended up doing it or is because like for those, for some of us,
2:01:42
the only way at that time for it to become how do we make this a
2:01:46
career so we can just keep on doing this forever, was we're
2:01:50
going to have to become pro drivers.
2:01:53
Yeah, yeah, I don't. Next.
2:01:54
Yeah. That was the next week.
2:01:55
It wasn't. It wasn't that we got into this
2:01:57
and it was. Forsberg, you saw Turek, you saw
2:01:59
this happening. And they didn't do it even the
2:02:02
way like those guys did it watching their first couple of
2:02:05
videos. It it you didn't.
2:02:09
It didn't come off, at least for me.
2:02:11
I didn't receive it like, oh, we're dudes and we're trying to
2:02:15
become race car drivers. They were just dudes just
2:02:17
shredding. Yeah, it wasn't like it was a
2:02:19
lot. Different.
2:02:20
Become, you know. Those videos, so like there were
2:02:25
the videos were that were like Haggard Garage, all that stuff
2:02:28
where it's like hanging out bullshitting.
2:02:30
That's like our level with me and my friends.
2:02:32
The Turk offseason videos. That was that was when I was
2:02:36
drifting when those. Videos came out, those videos
2:02:39
were like the oh shit, like we could do other stuff and we can,
2:02:47
we can drift and go streeting. And then when I found those, you
2:02:52
found other streeting videos, like somebody made a post about
2:02:56
these recently on the I think it was like Shakotan nights on
2:02:59
Facebook. All of those videos of that era
2:03:03
were what not groomed but birthed a lot of.
2:03:07
People, yeah, your whole your whole era that.
2:03:10
Whole era like miles deadbeat there was this SR20 pig nose
2:03:16
hatch I think it was or it was a coop but there was a front
2:03:19
camera in the car like a bumper Cam.
2:03:22
And the Sr. car is just ripping this mountain Rd. and it's wet
2:03:26
and it's slow and it's very easy going.
2:03:30
And that video, dude. Videos were a huge thing.
2:03:32
I think the era, I would say about 10 years ago where we were
2:03:37
really, that's when we were doing ride away stuff with
2:03:41
videos were a big thing. Like long form videos were huge
2:03:44
for us and then like if you could be part of one of those
2:03:47
long form videos, like it was it.
2:03:49
Yeah, you got because you got like a little part.
2:03:51
Yeah, it was a real nostalgic time.
2:03:53
And I, I, I mean, I like what we do with reels and everything now
2:03:56
in social media. But back then, like when someone
2:03:59
would drop a video, you would go watch the video just to see, you
2:04:04
know. But then again, it was so much
2:04:06
easier for you to get. It's so much easier now for you
2:04:08
to get filled. You kind of get mixed into the
2:04:11
sea of footage that's out there sometimes.
2:04:13
Sometimes, like of a creator, will you stumble upon a channel
2:04:19
or something? There's a Harley channel that I
2:04:21
watch. Japanese guy who has a Harley
2:04:25
probably does not. Kill shit.
2:04:27
Does not talk. I mean there's there's like
2:04:29
probably. Way better at it than a. 100,000
2:04:31
subscribers or whatever, but it hasn't like taken off Taken off
2:04:34
doesn't really talk, but they he's able to capture like a a
2:04:39
vibe and just a feeling that I like.
2:04:42
So that's why I I watch it. I feel like it just takes that
2:04:47
one videographer, that one post process editor or whatever to
2:04:51
make that video to translate that feeling where it's like I
2:04:55
want to watch this video. I want to watch this next video
2:04:58
again. I want to see this part that
2:05:00
they got in here. I want to see the driving in
2:05:02
this next. Part that was.
2:05:03
Keep drifting. Fun that was.
2:05:05
That one. Video keep drifting.
2:05:06
Fun was huge. Yeah.
2:05:08
Street of Slide America. I remember the old one that I
2:05:12
had the old one, and I remember Plan B, you know, the company
2:05:15
Plan B, They came out with a drifting video on par with
2:05:18
escape video way back like in 2005, 2006.
2:05:21
I've been talking about that for 10 years now.
2:05:23
Yeah, Plan B, they came out with a street.
2:05:25
So there is a lot of that. It's like and like, which is why
2:05:29
I understand like I'll meet a lot of guys that come to the
2:05:31
school that are students that are just like, I want to go
2:05:33
compete and I understand why they do it because they come in
2:05:37
seeing the Forsberg and the Von. But I didn't I didn't see that.
2:05:40
Like my introduction with drifting was so much more St.
2:05:44
drifting, so more more geared on the style.
2:05:47
And I guess due to when we came into drifting, by the time we
2:05:50
came to like, what's the next thing to do?
2:05:53
We moved over to the prime stuff because they're because at that
2:05:56
time there was no Pro 2, no nothing.
2:05:59
It was just like when you became pro, you became pro.
2:06:02
But back then, and I was saying this at another podcast as well,
2:06:05
like I feel like back then you could be a pro whether you
2:06:09
competed and you can be a pro and just not be a competition
2:06:14
drifter. Well, you're just like the pro
2:06:16
of that area. Like like you're.
2:06:19
Getting paid by. Let me like.
2:06:20
Let me or you mean like make it money wise?
2:06:22
Like no, no, no trash like you are at that skill level.
2:06:25
So let me give you an A current example.
2:06:28
Now there's no one that's going to tell me that Josh Elise isn't
2:06:30
a professional driver. I will.
2:06:33
Yeah. No, I was about to say this guy
2:06:35
right here. When it comes to drifting, he
2:06:38
doesn't compete. He he's not a competition like
2:06:42
you know, but. He does, but he.
2:06:43
Doesn't he would love to be a dude and he would be the hardest
2:06:46
on. Himself, yeah, but right away,
2:06:47
the what he does, the style of drifting he does, like there's
2:06:51
no license for that, but like that dude's that dude's a pro
2:06:55
level driver. Yeah.
2:06:56
Now if I take Josh and I put him in that VA 350Z that I have and
2:07:01
I'll say yeah, you're going to practice for a month, I
2:07:03
guarantee you a month later he'll figure that shit out way
2:07:06
earlier than that easy. Yeah.
2:07:08
So like, what's the difference between that guy and someone who
2:07:10
does have a license? You know what I mean?
2:07:13
Again, I'm not taking any anything away from people that
2:07:15
do that, but I just think that there was a time where you could
2:07:20
be a pro snowboarder that competed, but you could be a pro
2:07:25
snowboarder that did Backcountry and that was 100% OK.
2:07:28
And at at some point in drifting, it was like that.
2:07:31
And then now if you say I'm a pro, it's like, Oh well, you
2:07:33
have to compete. Look man, these companies used
2:07:36
to start paying people. I'm sorry, that's that's what it
2:07:39
really. Is action, yeah.
2:07:40
Try to get that Sponsors no. I'm talking like, I'm talking
2:07:44
like tire companies like. Microfiber companies.
2:07:47
Yeah. Fucking you know, I thought
2:07:48
about that too, but I think maybe just like, so for
2:07:51
instance, we look at other racing series and you're like,
2:07:53
well, how can we can't do it like that?
2:07:55
You know how you said timing is everything?
2:07:57
Well, maybe the timing for it lined up for them that way, but
2:08:00
the timing for us isn't and the structure for us just isn't so.
2:08:04
You know, I still think grassroot competition stuff is
2:08:06
going to I I know it hasn't. I mean it's picked up a lot but
2:08:09
I I think it's dude Super D had it like Super D was.
2:08:14
I think it's I mean. Like if they if they keep those
2:08:16
going or they come out with some more of those, I I think that
2:08:19
will really help and obviously final bout, but the. 230 fives I
2:08:21
think are doing are going to do good.
2:08:24
I think the Super D. But I mean, like, as far as
2:08:29
companies being like, Oh yeah, we'll dump money into this
2:08:31
driver because he's he's out there.
2:08:35
His car's got style. All the kids are looking at
2:08:37
these people, right? Like I think, but I'm going to,
2:08:41
you know, come in a different. World, maybe it's a niche and
2:08:45
it's like, you know, it's real. I think it's really hard for
2:08:47
some of these companies to realize what niche they should
2:08:49
be attacking. I mean, it's us.
2:08:51
It's easy for us to decipher the niches of drifting.
2:08:54
But if you go tell one of these people who for no reason, they
2:08:57
should know that, hey, you do know that there's like different
2:08:59
subcultures of drifting. To them, drifting is just
2:09:02
drifting. OK, here I'll give you an
2:09:03
example. You know, so like when I would
2:09:05
see this is like five years ago, but when I would see like or
2:09:08
when Justin would go do pro am or some shit somewhere US drift
2:09:10
or something, I'd be like I'd be there looking around.
2:09:13
I'm like, no one's here. No one gives a shit, no one
2:09:17
cares. But that was back then too.
2:09:19
Then you're going to find about and you're like, still no,
2:09:21
everyone is here, everyone's videoing it, everyone cares
2:09:25
about this. And that that's, that's, that's
2:09:27
my whole gripe with it because I'm like.
2:09:29
But I'm saying the potential to make money.
2:09:32
Which one would? You pick.
2:09:33
I'm going to pick the one with all the eyes on it.
2:09:35
Yeah. Because all those kids are going
2:09:38
to drift now. Now the, the, I don't want to
2:09:40
say the unfortunate thing, but I think it's more so like the
2:09:42
reality of the situation is your benchmark for that type of stuff
2:09:46
is going to be like formula drift.
2:09:48
So they're going to pull numbers from that and be like, well,
2:09:50
this is what it could be at the highest standard and like
2:09:53
everyone goes there just to go there.
2:09:55
Do I think that format of drifting could work out that
2:10:00
way? Yes.
2:10:01
But I think the evolution of it to get to that point, you guys
2:10:05
wouldn't like how we would end up steering like it would get
2:10:08
maybe a little bit more. It can't.
2:10:10
It can't change. That's the thing.
2:10:12
It's got to say the same. But it will.
2:10:13
But it will because they'll be money, they'll be this, they'll
2:10:16
be that. And I think that's what make
2:10:18
that that niche so good. Is that because because?
2:10:21
There's. No money and so you can stay
2:10:24
pure. OK, but pure is a weird thing.
2:10:27
Wait, let's back up skateboarding people do St.
2:10:31
series comps, stuff like that. Yeah, yeah.
2:10:34
It's not all whack. You know.
2:10:35
What I'm doing, there's money. Yeah, there's money, but there's
2:10:38
also dudes that don't do that and all they do is videos and
2:10:40
they make money. What I'm talking, what I'm
2:10:42
talking, what I'm concerned about that you're bringing to
2:10:46
light for me is if somebody, the the sport that we have evolves
2:10:52
based off of fucking experimentation.
2:10:57
Like one person does one thing, somebody figures out how good
2:11:01
that is and then they do it repetitively, then it just
2:11:05
multiplies, right? Like V eights were not huge
2:11:09
right off the rib. Then they became huge because
2:11:13
formula drift in like O 6 or whatever the fuck that was
2:11:18
popular. There was like a couple of those
2:11:20
V eights that drifted the best and then people on down here
2:11:23
were like OK, we can actually buy these I feel like.
2:11:26
And then more people got V eights because they were like
2:11:28
shit. V eights are actually really
2:11:29
easy to drift. I've.
2:11:32
Driven AV8 car like once. This is just an example because
2:11:36
V eights are so cheaper. Some person see AV 8, another
2:11:38
person see AV 8. Everybody's like, if you have
2:11:40
ALS swap, you're fucking pro. You're the pro, right?
2:11:44
You're. Sick.
2:11:44
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He got AV 8 because of that.
2:11:47
He's got 211 non V81V8. But now it's what Ave. will the
2:11:55
sport take to get to that level that Reese is describing?
2:12:00
Where they choose where they as in the population, the community
2:12:04
chooses which way. Well, what Reese was saying,
2:12:09
what Reese was saying to me was once money gets involved, the
2:12:13
people with the money handing it out, it's just they're just
2:12:15
going to want more money. So how do they get more money?
2:12:17
I. Was thinking about.
2:12:18
Others so how do they do this and then I'll.
2:12:20
Before you know it, it's terrible.
2:12:21
I mean I I don't want it to be that way, but like, I mean.
2:12:24
But then that's why I brought a skateboard.
2:12:26
I'm like, oh wait, I think there's still cool
2:12:27
skateboarding. But then you hear you hear about
2:12:29
the same shit in skateboarding. Like what's that podcast I
2:12:31
listen to sometimes? Again, again, because we don't
2:12:33
know about it all the way, we know the insurance and outs of
2:12:35
this. But like, Rob Dyrdek brought in
2:12:37
that whole that he had like a street series comp or something
2:12:40
that apparently was a big deal. I didn't know it was but.
2:12:43
Yeah, SLS. Yeah.
2:12:44
And when I heard about him talking about that and he was on
2:12:47
someone's podcast, I was like, oh, that's actually really
2:12:50
similar to the shit we're going through.
2:12:52
Because he was making it seem like there wasn't like an easy
2:12:55
entryway to this stuff. It was like you either had to be
2:12:57
a. Crazy.
2:12:57
And that's, that's the thing, like, you know, why is it, why
2:13:02
did you have to go do that? I'm not I'm it sounds so bad
2:13:05
because I'm a judge. That's why I love this
2:13:08
conversation. Like it's so bad, but it's like,
2:13:10
you know, I, I get, I get that you want to go do that, but
2:13:15
like, what about the people that don't?
2:13:19
And they're just perfectly content with being rippers at,
2:13:21
at, at the and I don't, I don't like saying it's a division
2:13:24
lower. Yeah, but I mean, like, it's
2:13:27
just a different way of doing it.
2:13:28
Like there used to be 4 strokes and two strokes and and
2:13:31
motocross and you have to be just as skilled to do either or.
2:13:34
So what would your ideal situation be in the drifting
2:13:37
competition world? I think people should I I think
2:13:41
we just need to have less grip, go to a smaller tire size and
2:13:44
make it more about the driver. And just jam.
2:13:47
And and yeah, they make it more about the driver.
2:13:49
Would you have different competitions or it would just be
2:13:53
FD or it would be like different?
2:13:55
Not saying there should be other operations as big as FD, but I'm
2:13:59
saying would there be like grassroots competition?
2:14:01
Like more grassroots competition?
2:14:03
I wish, I wish, I wish we were more organized in our in our
2:14:08
industry to where we could have like a grassroot division.
2:14:14
Imagine AFD grassroots division. Yeah, that would be.
2:14:17
Yeah, I'm. In there, not FD because it
2:14:19
would just be a headache. Yeah, it would be, yeah, I mean,
2:14:21
but I try to give it. You know, well, yeah, try to
2:14:24
give him a little shower, but. Because I don't want to judge
2:14:25
it, I want to. Drive.
2:14:26
Yeah, I want to drive it too like anybody, because privateer
2:14:31
like own privateers only. And.
2:14:35
And I need AI, need a check, I need a pay stub to show me that
2:14:40
you're a privateer. I want to see how much money you
2:14:43
have and and you'll put me only against others, band for band.
2:14:48
You're not taking me out. Well, I think where the money's
2:14:50
going to come into play, like let's say you're in the middle
2:14:52
of a competition, like you break something and that's you just so
2:14:55
happen to have the part because you have the money.
2:14:57
I think that's where it comes into play.
2:14:59
But I think having like these different competitions, if we
2:15:04
have to have competitions like it's just steering it to where
2:15:09
like I, I think eventually you get good enough and drifting
2:15:11
where you can be like, OK, someone's winning here, possibly
2:15:15
because of horsepower and tire. And over here with the way they
2:15:19
have it set up with the, the restrictions of maybe tire
2:15:22
sizes, people are winning based off of like more than just that,
2:15:26
you know, and like we, I don't want to say like, Oh, well, you
2:15:29
know, you're, it's more about the driver than your equipment.
2:15:33
I'm again, I'm not taken away from what they're doing in FD,
2:15:36
but I think in the middle, a lot of people look at you competing
2:15:41
in like a 235 series and it's like almost like people don't
2:15:43
take you serious. You're like, oh, well, you're
2:15:45
not really doing anything. You're just doing this.
2:15:47
It's like, Nah, dude. Like they're like, this takes a
2:15:49
lot of skill to do. Yeah, I would feel almost the
2:15:51
opposite way. You know what I mean?
2:15:52
But I think only people that know about drifting can see how
2:15:55
hard it is to like, OK, I have a 400 horsepower car and I have to
2:15:59
go against this dude that has like Kerbal lag, but it's like
2:16:02
320. Like how do I match it?
2:16:04
You know what I mean? Like that, that there's some
2:16:06
skill that goes into figuring that out, where in the high
2:16:10
horsepower stuff it's just like speed grip horsepower.
2:16:14
Nothing wrong with that. It's just something different,
2:16:16
you know what I mean? Like that's just all it is.
2:16:18
And FD is cool to watch so I don't want to get rid of it.
2:16:22
No, it's cool to watch because of, I think Greg said in one of
2:16:25
the other podcasts that it's it, it's good because it's spreads
2:16:29
the word of drifting to the masses.
2:16:31
It may not be something that everyone's about because
2:16:34
everyone likes a different form of drifting, but it's like the
2:16:37
biggest chip that we have in drifting.
2:16:39
So that's why we should support. It and that's yeah, because more
2:16:42
people will get a because more people get into it and then they
2:16:45
steer away from calm stuff and start doing what we're, you
2:16:47
know, all the other stuff. That's why we set booths of it
2:16:49
for. Me, I would.
2:16:49
I would definitely. I definitely agreed with what
2:16:53
he's and that guy is smart as hell.
2:16:55
Yeah, fucking well. I don't know about.
2:16:56
Oh, Greg. Craig Busell.
2:16:58
Sometimes I don't know about him being all smart.
2:17:01
Oh shit, hey, sorry, this is the faction.
2:17:03
Podcast. I love.
2:17:04
I love Greg. He's awesome.
2:17:05
Yeah. This we're going to fight.
2:17:08
I never I never met Greg yet, so no, he's a good dude.
2:17:11
He's definitely a good dude. I spoke with him not too long
2:17:13
ago. We were talking about like
2:17:14
judging and all that stuff and just drifting and where
2:17:18
everything's at. And so like, it's cool.
2:17:19
You can have those conversations with people.
2:17:21
Just the word your thing is going and like everyone has a
2:17:24
little different view of it all. What?
2:17:26
About what? About those Adam LZ events?
2:17:29
That's the world tour. Yeah, that's the one Josh.
2:17:31
Josh got second place or some shit in.
2:17:33
Did he get it in Canada? No, the Jersey 1, whatever year
2:17:36
that was. Oh, where he was literally.
2:17:39
Oh, that. Shit was sick.
2:17:40
See. So that was a hometown hero
2:17:43
moment for Josh, probably. Like, yeah, that probably.
2:17:47
I want to know how the fuck to feel about that.
2:17:49
I would be geeking. Dude, I mean, I know.
2:17:51
How Josh felt, he was like fucking second place.
2:17:55
Right. God damn it.
2:17:57
He's like I should have. Won.
2:17:58
We were all like yo this is sick.
2:18:00
He's like fucking second. He only gets 2nd place so I know
2:18:05
that's how he felt but. I think that, I think those, I
2:18:07
think those are good. They I got to judge the one in
2:18:13
Toronto. So I went up there and it was
2:18:15
just, you know, a really good show.
2:18:21
You just go there. There's tons of people.
2:18:23
No, again, no one took it really serious.
2:18:26
You know, I think what I've noticed is just like, no one
2:18:29
really, like in drifting, like, no one really takes it serious.
2:18:32
Yeah, but as soon as you go to FD.
2:18:35
Everything's serious. There's, well, you know why
2:18:37
there's a lot of money on my mind.
2:18:39
It's for real. Yeah, people like.
2:18:42
Everywhere else is like yeah FD it's like.
2:18:46
You know why I'm? There's a lot of money on the
2:18:48
line, man you. Know what I'm waiting for?
2:18:50
You're absolutely. There's a lot of money.
2:18:51
That's what it is. When I see people break shit,
2:18:54
I'm just like, that's expensive. You know what I'm waiting for in
2:18:57
FD? For Brian Hop to bust that shit
2:19:00
up and show that you could fucking have fun in FD.
2:19:03
Come on, let's hear it. I hope so.
2:19:05
Just show up in there, hop and fucking fuck shit up.
2:19:08
Just start partying around. What's your opinion on this?
2:19:13
I think Brian's a good driver, but I think with anyone that's
2:19:18
new, you need to be a little bit.
2:19:22
You just have to get used to it. And you go in there, the water's
2:19:24
cold. It's like, all right, I got to
2:19:26
get used to this. I think other people that we've
2:19:29
seen come have success, like Manoa or like Connor, they come
2:19:33
from already doing that. Yeah, You know, so do I think
2:19:38
can people drift and are good at drifting?
2:19:39
Yeah. But where it changes with
2:19:42
Formula Drift, where I will 100% give it to these FT drivers.
2:19:47
It's different when you lock in and then you go out there and
2:19:50
you see how many people are showing up for this and then you
2:19:52
have to perform in the next 45 seconds like that's.
2:19:57
And Brian is a very chill fun. Yeah, he's a very.
2:19:59
And I think he definitely can lock in and do all that.
2:20:02
So I think. Yeah, now we're now we're going
2:20:03
to see if it's possible and I, I cannot wait.
2:20:05
Dude, I want Hop to look at those challenges and just be so
2:20:09
laissez faire about it because it's.
2:20:12
Well, yes and no, but yeah, he's going to be yeah.
2:20:14
Yeah, and just. Hope it just.
2:20:16
Go out and show that people can have fun still.
2:20:18
Like people see hop on the Internet now and he's out
2:20:22
fucking jumping jeeps and. Shit, but even Hop, I think even
2:20:25
Hop, once he gets there, you have to take it serious because
2:20:31
maybe not, maybe the first time not.
2:20:33
But like I'm sure after he goes for the first round and he sees
2:20:36
how much was used, yeah, it's like you may be OK with it.
2:20:40
You may be a person who you locked down your sponsors and
2:20:43
you did everything you need to do and you're ready to do this.
2:20:47
But it takes a different person when you're like OK, I spent XML
2:20:50
and I got to do it again. Yeah.
2:20:53
Yeah. And then you got to lock in.
2:20:54
So like, I totally sympathize with these guys when like.
2:20:57
When they take it seriously. When they take it serious and
2:20:59
then they'll like, they'll come up to you, you'll ask you a
2:21:01
question, but in the back of their mind, you know, their
2:21:04
transmission broke and their mechanic is sick and like they,
2:21:08
their trailer tires broke. And like all these things that
2:21:12
you wouldn't even think about is what these drivers are thinking
2:21:15
about. So like that's the, and they
2:21:16
have to deal with all of that within 3 days of doing the
2:21:20
competition. So that's where I feel like that
2:21:23
world of formula drift is very different than like what we do
2:21:27
outside of FT. Because if something goes wrong,
2:21:30
like there's always someone you that can help you.
2:21:32
It's like, you know, you can figure it out, like whatever
2:21:34
over there, you're still going to get the help.
2:21:36
But you know, you got bother clock on the line over there
2:21:40
looking at everything. You're on a time limit, no one's
2:21:43
going to sleep. Then you got to get home.
2:21:46
I can't wait to have Brian on this podcast because I want to
2:21:48
get his opinion before he goes. Yeah.
2:21:52
It's have you talked to him? We should get him on here.
2:21:54
I'm sure. Come on here.
2:21:55
I think you should have him come on here before he goes.
2:21:57
And then we're we're sponsoring him with Origin, so.
2:22:01
Are we really? Yeah.
2:22:02
What the fuck, Brian? I've seen you like 6 times.
2:22:05
So I think when he comes, grab some stuff, we'll have him on
2:22:08
the podcast. That's when we'll go from there.
2:22:09
But yeah, so we're trying to make sure the car look is
2:22:12
looking 100%, yeah. I like how we're all trying to
2:22:14
like clean up a little bit. We're like, alright, let's get a
2:22:17
clean shirt. On, you know.
2:22:20
I didn't get a clean shirt, I just got clean socks real quick.
2:22:23
I was like, alright, let me start with the socks.
2:22:25
The wheels. It's just nuts that that is a
2:22:30
thing. Like Hop was in the fucking
2:22:34
early E Town group too. And yeah.
2:22:35
Fucking. And he was.
2:22:37
He was the. Drivers Burger.
2:22:41
He maybe if Hop was the driver, you go to E town like if you're
2:22:43
like, oh, I'm going there. I don't I don't have a car
2:22:45
today. I'm not driving.
2:22:46
I'm not drifting today. Well, it's hop drifting.
2:22:48
Oh, OK, cool. Then I'll go watch.
2:22:49
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like that's the person you
2:22:51
want to watch. That's why he was wild.
2:22:53
Like what do you think top three people you want to watch at E
2:22:55
Town if you were there? Yeah, yeah, 100% yeah.
2:22:57
Like when you had the VQS 13 and like, yeah, that thing was
2:23:02
haggard. Yeah, Yeah.
2:23:04
Well. He drove it.
2:23:05
He drove the piss out of it. Yep, his his like Coca-Cola
2:23:11
colored S13 looks yeah, really good, yeah.
2:23:15
And that fucking V8 is crazy. Yeah, yeah, I've been only
2:23:18
receiving end of that thing. I'm like, all right, dude,
2:23:20
relax. The receiving.
2:23:22
End. Yeah, because he's like, yo,
2:23:23
I'll chase you. And then I'm like, I can't even
2:23:27
hear myself. Yeah, that's all you heard.
2:23:29
Right, right, right. I'm like.
2:23:30
Ah, shit. I try to follow him once.
2:23:32
I'm like, all right, I'm not even not sure whatever.
2:23:36

2:24:33
I'm like, I knew it. I fucking knew.
2:24:35

2:24:38
He had to go to bed. But I still got that food
2:24:41

2:24:43
There were the car. Those were the cars that I was
2:24:45
looking at when I was like, I got to fit these wheels better.
2:24:48
Oh, really? And then I saw those cars and I
2:24:51
was like, yeah, like that. Dude, those cars are are cool,
2:24:55
but those guys can drift, man. Yeah, yeah.
2:24:57
Have you seen them? Yeah, yeah.
2:24:59
They're our Evergreen product. Yeah, which is cool.
2:25:03
Yeah, you should go to Evergreen.
2:25:04
Dude, what's? What's going on?
2:25:05
Honey mustard chicken sub baby come.

2:25:14

2:25:22
shit. What are you doing I?
2:25:24
Don't know Malcolm, can you just read the questions?
2:25:26
Bro where? What do you do?
2:25:27
He's annoying bro. He's.
2:25:28
Clicking on his phone, I. Haven't been on here in a month.
2:25:30
I forgot to use it they. Updated the same thing.
2:25:33
Is it updated? OK, I Nope, I got it.
2:25:38
OK. But I don't want to read them.
2:25:39
You read them. Oh, there's a OK, there's a good
2:25:41
amount. Yeah, you read some, I'll read
2:25:43
some, but I'm going to let you start.
2:25:44
All right. You think they'll be judging
2:25:46
questions? Like, like, oh, why did he do
2:25:49
this there? I don't know.
2:25:51
Let's find out. Let me.
2:25:53
First question by S13 Tanner, what do you wish you could have
2:25:59
done differently? There are looking back to when
2:26:02
you started drift drifting. I wish I never I, I wish I never
2:26:10
took interior out of my car. Oh, Yep, Yep.
2:26:14
Hey, like the day I did that and I went to an event that it was
2:26:18
damp, I was like, this was the stupidest thing I could have
2:26:21
ever done. Like, oh wow, we're going to
2:26:22
take the heater out. We're going to, we're going to
2:26:24
weight reduction. We don't even know about that
2:26:26
shit. Back then we were like, we're
2:26:27
going to the stupidest thing ever.
2:26:28
The day I did that and I took the interior out, when I took
2:26:31
the carpet out, that's when I was like, I ruined it.
2:26:34
I wish I could have never. I wish I never did that.
2:26:37
Yeah. Good answer.
2:26:38
Interior. Interior.
2:26:39
I got saved by that. My first car, I took the
2:26:41
interior out, did all that bullshit.
2:26:43
Yeah. Drifted it for like a year or
2:26:45
less. No, a year.
2:26:46
And then Hurricane Sandy wiped it out.
2:26:48
So I got a fresh, clean slate right after and I was like, oh,
2:26:51
I'm. Not I feel like you guys saw
2:26:52
what we did and we're like. Cool, we're.
2:26:55
Not doing that. We're not going to do that.
2:26:57
Yeah, literally. Nice.
2:27:01
Good for you. Good for you.
2:27:02
We're not doing that though. Russo says.
2:27:05
Your fashion style during the early days, The early drifting
2:27:08
days. Holy shit, why?
2:27:10
Why? Why?
2:27:11
Why? Why, why, Why is that being
2:27:12
brought up right now? Fashion, style had to be your
2:27:15
club. You got to be knowing why.
2:27:17
I mean, it must have been like basketball jerseys and like.
2:27:20
OK, I kind of remember this recent.
2:27:21
Yeah, yeah. We need to see, we need to see
2:27:25
that again. What basketball jerseys?
2:27:27
Low. Low but not.
2:27:29
I do remember that, but not a. Basketball Jersey for like
2:27:32
anybody specific just like A and one Basketball Jersey.
2:27:36
That's it. I would love to.
2:27:38
Josh Rolf says Drift Alliance Why no?
2:27:44
I have no idea why. No listen.
2:27:49
We one day we saw something happen out there on track and we
2:27:52
were just like drift the lines and like it just became the
2:27:55
same. We just started saying to one
2:27:57
another every time we see there's like no rhyme or reason.
2:28:01
It's just like we just try to see each other first and be like
2:28:03
drift the lines. You know, it's a bro thing.
2:28:06
Hey, shout out he he's working on his car lately.
2:28:10
You see that? Well, you just got back on
2:28:12
Instagram, but. I saw him working on it.
2:28:13
Yeah, engine is in. Ever since he came here, it's
2:28:15
like saw that back. Yeah, the dude's cool.
2:28:18
Good watch. Love Josh.
2:28:19
Love Josh. That's, that's what I would say.
2:28:22
When I would watch FD and I was in the crowd.
2:28:25
I think Drift Alliance takes another win.
2:28:28
That's what I would say. That's when I would say that.
2:28:30
ASCAP, you said different ways. Well, yeah, I don't think it's
2:28:34
really like that anymore. There's not too many Drift
2:28:35
Alliance people. Just Von Chris and.
2:28:40
Von is still drifting. I thought he'd stop, but he.
2:28:43
Comes in. He comes in, Yeah.
2:28:44
Yeah, I don't know. What's the secret to a good
2:28:48
empanada hobby? For me it would be the crust.
2:28:54
Oh yeah, it needs to be crunchy. Remember that day will brought
2:28:59
like. Don't remind me.
2:29:01
Don't those those were pastilios.
2:29:03
They weren't well, those were Puerto Rican and bananas just as
2:29:05
good though fucking day. But for me, the Colombian style
2:29:08
would be the corn crust needs to be like just needs to be just
2:29:13
right. So.
2:29:14
You'll be bringing those up here next time.
2:29:16
Wait. So the Colombian ones are the
2:29:18
corn ones. What is the one where it's a
2:29:21
little bit more of a dough and it usually somebody.
2:29:24
That's what that is. OK, that's what I'm that's I
2:29:26
guess the one that I'm used to to fuck.
2:29:29
Those were. Good.
2:29:30
Are Dominican empanadas different than other ones?
2:29:32
Yeah. Those are the ones I always
2:29:33
have. What do they?
2:29:34
I only know Dominican. People, they're kind of the
2:29:36
same, you know what I mean? But they're all, they're just,
2:29:38
they're all great. It's just a lot of them use like
2:29:39
a flower base instead of a corn base.
2:29:41
And the filling kind of changes up to like the wages.
2:29:45
Will his S chassis ever return on what was his favorite version
2:29:50
of it so far and future version? My favorite version of my S13
2:29:56
was when it was all red and it had Chrome flames on it.
2:29:59
Yeah. That was the last one.
2:30:01
Yeah, that was that was that was in 2014.
2:30:05
That was my favorite version of it.
2:30:07
Everyone likes the Los Goonies one when I had like the the
2:30:10
Philadelphia. Brown colour or something?
2:30:13
It was, I think it was Violet with like mint green or
2:30:16
something like. That I remember the mint.
2:30:18
Yeah, but I like the Chrome, the Chrome flame after one after
2:30:22
that, which was 2014. It was AV 8 then.
2:30:25
And I don't know. I I wanna, if I were to do that
2:30:29
car again, like I'd probably do a Kat and I'd go to like Hayes
2:30:33
boys and be like, hey. They they, they know the, they
2:30:36
know the Kat over there, bro. Yeah, that's their thing.
2:30:41
Is the judging going to be better this coming season?
2:30:47
Damn Reese Fuck. I mean, I mean, that's the goal,
2:30:51
you know what I mean? Like it's, it's definitely the
2:30:52
goal. I mean, definitely after the
2:30:54
first year, there's some things that you're like, hey, like I'd
2:30:58
love to see if we could address XY and Z, and there's definitely
2:31:04
opportunities to do that. And I mean, I hope it all gets
2:31:07
taken care of. I really do think too, it's just
2:31:09
like more people that watch it now understand it more.
2:31:13
So they're asking for better explanations.
2:31:15
And I think there's a lot of things that we just don't bring
2:31:18
up, such as like drivers meeting, Like what goes on in
2:31:20
those drivers meeting? What's kids agreed upon?
2:31:23
Like, hey, this weekend, this is what we're doing.
2:31:24
But then no one else knows that. Should the people in the drivers
2:31:27
meeting. Yeah, that.
2:31:27
Should definitely be a thing that's announced.
2:31:29
You should watch like those older FD videos and do like you
2:31:33
know how you do the little compare you ever do you ever see
2:31:36
Reese's voice overs? I don't know.
2:31:39
Like you should maybe watch some of those, that'd be a cool
2:31:42
little video with the old things, the judging of what
2:31:45
they're saying back then because they're still yelling and
2:31:47
screaming about something. But I swear to you, it does not.
2:31:50
Sound like No, no it doesn't exactly.
2:31:52
It's totally different parameters of what they're
2:31:54
looking. At definitely different things
2:31:55
that they're looking at and like, thank God we don't look at
2:31:59
that stuff like that now. And I really just think it's
2:32:03
that I think it's, I don't think it's, I don't think anyone is
2:32:06
wrong really. It's just, you know, like you
2:32:10
may look at drifting a different way because you were brought up
2:32:12
doing something a certain way in this area, and we did it this
2:32:15
way. And then when you compete, if
2:32:17
you don't come to agreeable terms like, yo, this is what's
2:32:19
going on. Yeah.
2:32:20
I think that's where there's a disconnect.
2:32:21
Well, I know what you mean with that, because when we did that
2:32:23
fucking twin drift thing, there was no agreement on anything and
2:32:27
there was no way to judge anything.
2:32:29
So you see what I'm saying? That was a fun thing like that
2:32:31
was. From the beginning.
2:32:32
But if we're doing a competition.
2:32:34
We should make it more. First of all, it is a
2:32:36
competition run by some of our close friends, and it was
2:32:40
translated right at the beginning that this whole thing
2:32:43
is for the fact that they had trophies is sick.
2:32:45
Yeah. Like they got trophies and
2:32:47
everything. It it's that was for fun and I'm
2:32:49
a back them up on that for fun. There was.
2:32:53
No winner, no loser. There was winners and losers,
2:32:56
and you lost the. People want to win the moment.
2:32:58
You said there's a competition people want to win.
2:33:00
Yeah, you should have seen this guy.
2:33:01
He was fucking locked in. I was locked in and then when I
2:33:05
heard we lost, I turned right around, looked right at Ethan in
2:33:08
the eye. That's all you.
2:33:10
That was you fucking all day long.
2:33:14
Bang on. Yeah.
2:33:15
When it? When it.
2:33:16
Mattered, Ethan, you motherfucker.
2:33:19
So you see what I'm saying? It's like everyone has a little
2:33:22
different way of, of looking at things.
2:33:24
And I just think it's like moving forward having a better,
2:33:28
better clarity on like, hey, this is what we're looking.
2:33:31
For yeah, they should say in the beginning of the event like, oh,
2:33:32
by the way, this is what the judges will be looking for.
2:33:34
This time and like a lot of times.
2:33:36
Though Damien did. Yo but like maybe?
2:33:39
Oh no, not that. Maybe when we explain it like
2:33:42
drift, people get it, but not everyone really gets it.
2:33:46
Yeah, like when there's like. Yeah, Oh, they.
2:33:49
Have no So the people that don't know what the Hell's going on,
2:33:51
they have. If I say like, yeah, you see the
2:33:53
dude dive into the pocket, They're like, maybe they don't
2:33:56
know what diving into the pocket means.
2:33:57
They don't know what means Yeah, you know, they don't know its
2:34:00
proximity plus angle like so they got to.
2:34:02
Explain that every round. And I think for us, it's such a,
2:34:05
it's those little nuances that we take for granted that like,
2:34:08
oh, of course we know what initiation is.
2:34:09
Of course we know what a left foot brake is, of course, but
2:34:12
not everyone knows what that. Yeah.
2:34:14
And like, if we're talking to a large audience, you know, that's
2:34:20
where I think, you know, you can get a little blurred there.
2:34:22
So, so I hope so because like it's, it sucks getting yelled
2:34:25
at. So another question is basically
2:34:28
the same thing, but how is FD judging?
2:34:30
How has the FD judging team been dealing with the tourists
2:34:34
complaining about your calls? I don't really know exactly what
2:34:37
that means. What?
2:34:38
Is the tourists. Maybe that's exactly what you're
2:34:40
talking about. People who are don't really know
2:34:42
what's going on. I think it just gets lost in
2:34:44
translation. I think.
2:34:46
I think that's really what, what it comes down to.
2:34:48
And I think we are, we are pretty strict in FD when it
2:34:51
comes to a lot of things like we, we, you know, run this line,
2:34:56
do this, do that. So maybe they just, again, maybe
2:34:59
they're coming from a different area where they do things
2:35:01
differently elsewhere, you know, because imagine you come up,
2:35:04
it's impossible to think like whatever they're doing in the
2:35:07
Netherlands or whatever they're doing it, it's exactly what
2:35:10
they're doing. Yeah.
2:35:11
Totally different. And like, I don't think anyone
2:35:13
does it better than anyone else. It's just like I go back to
2:35:17
bringing basketball and it like you have the NBA in America, you
2:35:20
have the FIBA that's international.
2:35:21
They're not all the same rules. It's the balls are different the
2:35:24
balls. And everybody and everybody can
2:35:26
coexist. No no no, the basketballs are
2:35:28
literally different. Fuck you like the brain and.
2:35:31
Everything coexist no issue drifting we it's like we have to
2:35:36
like well this was better than this but.
2:35:38
There's a better person even in fee in feeble bro because I know
2:35:42
FIBA right? I've watched a game or two.
2:35:44
I fucked with basketball when I was a kid.
2:35:47
I just know when the US would go to any other country they would
2:35:51
absolutely RIP right right, RIP and roar.
2:35:55
But. Lately hasn't been that way, you
2:35:57
know. Wait.
2:35:57
Has it not? No, no, I mean you know the
2:35:59
world is catching up, but but the same thing in the world, the
2:36:02
drifting. It's like, you know, it exists
2:36:04
in other sports where it exists. Like how come I can't like let
2:36:07
drift masters do it? They're there and let FD let let
2:36:09
D1 NZ let you know. RDS like let them all.
2:36:12
Coexist. Well, those things have to exist
2:36:14
so that when we all battle each other country wise, it's like
2:36:20
there is something there to battle each other upon.
2:36:23
Like, you know, there's grounds for that.
2:36:25
Shit. And I think there are these
2:36:26
maybe like a global and I remember there was one of my
2:36:30
buddies that was at the the Iron Drift challenge, Iron Drift King
2:36:34
competition over in Germany named Olaf.
2:36:36
He was like, you know, if like globally, everybody just kind of
2:36:40
understood what the rules were going to be.
2:36:42
It makes. Sense I don't know if that would
2:36:44
be impossible. But I mean, it's like, I mean
2:36:46
basic things like, yeah, like you need to run the lead line
2:36:49
needs to be like, that should be global.
2:36:50
Like if you're going to be in the lead, you should be running
2:36:53
the correct line. That's true.
2:36:54
Like and not everyone does that because even.
2:36:56
Carl could agree with that. You know what I mean?
2:36:58
Like, right, that that should be a universal thing.
2:37:00
Yeah. You know, obviously there's,
2:37:01
there's some nuances that are going to vary depending what
2:37:03
part of the world you're in. But like, if you're in the lead,
2:37:06
like you should be running the right line.
2:37:08
If you're in the chase, cutting a line and getting into the
2:37:11
pocket's fine. But like, cutting it where
2:37:12
you're literally like cutting half the track off like that
2:37:15
shouldn't be allowed. I like, I like those, those
2:37:19
little lights that show you if they're in a forward motion
2:37:24
like. I'm glad you do, because
2:37:26
everybody. I don't know why.
2:37:29
OK, let's say well, well, I don't know a lot about them and
2:37:34
I'm up here, right? So since I'm since I am up here
2:37:39
all that tells me is OK if that lead person was in the lead and
2:37:44
they were right in the zone but the light turns red for any
2:37:49
reason then I'm like why did they need to get off throttle
2:37:53
there like that is on you like you got off.
2:37:59
That's kind of. You know, is that is that.
2:38:02
Yeah, in the lead. In the lead.
2:38:04
Yeah, you're absolutely right. Yeah.
2:38:05
See, so that I feel like it's pretty easy to translate if you
2:38:09
got the little light things. But again, I'm up here and down
2:38:12
here, there's probably a whole issue, whole array of issues on
2:38:16
why they're bad. Yeah.
2:38:17
And then you have people that fixate on like one particular
2:38:19
part of the battle in the call and they don't really take
2:38:22
consideration the rest of the battle or the battle.
2:38:24
Before. How hard is that to judge?
2:38:26
I don't like FD. Like you, you doing that like
2:38:29
because even when I'm watching some of these, I'm like.
2:38:32
You come up with a system like, you know, you just kind of you.
2:38:34
Got to watch this, watch that. Yeah, you just kind of look at
2:38:36
them or you take notes. Like sometimes I'll jot it down
2:38:39
or sometimes I'll just use like voice record and I'll just as
2:38:42
I'm going, I'm watching them do what they're doing.
2:38:44
And you got to rewatch it too, right?
2:38:45
Yeah, you can rewatch it. And so like we have replays or
2:38:48
sometimes I do it with my phone, whatever is going to give me
2:38:50
better access to replay, like that's when I'm going to.
2:38:52
Because I I'm that guy that will focus on one thing and be like
2:38:55
what the fuck? He got robbed.
2:38:56
Yeah, cuz I'm just like yeah, I just remember that's it's.
2:38:58
Rough too cuz I think the chasing is what really messes it
2:39:02
up cuz let's say you have a battle and then the first guy
2:39:05
goes lead and chase and then the lead puts down like a semi good
2:39:09
lead run but isn't the best and because he really didn't put the
2:39:13
best lead run but it was OK. The chase was good but wasn't as
2:39:17
great as it could have been. So it's like boom all right you
2:39:19
get that and then you switch and then the chase driver puts down
2:39:22
a baller lead line which now allows the chase driver to put a
2:39:26
put a baller chase and the uneducated would say Oh well the
2:39:31
chase driver in the second battle should win because his
2:39:35
chase was closer. I'm like, well no, the Chase
2:39:38
driver didn't put a good lead run which hurt the.
2:39:42
Other. So that's not allowed.
2:39:44
Oh my God, I had to fucking compute that.
2:39:47
First, second. Because I was like.
2:39:48
Real complicated. No, no, no, no, because.
2:39:51
I think now it makes sense. Because this is what what what
2:39:54
what that is going to help me do is when we watch you can.
2:39:58
Sandbag. But but it's meant to not.
2:40:01
The judges are there to tell you you're sandbagging.
2:40:06
But now when we're watching FD in the faction discord or
2:40:09
something like that and we're all yelling about some bullshit,
2:40:12
I'm going to be like, yo. I I got 20 on it right here.
2:40:18
I promise I don't know anything. 20 on it right here.
2:40:21
I don't know what the percentage is, but you have a pretty high
2:40:24
chance of winning any battle is if you're the lead driver 1st
2:40:28
and you put down an amazing lead line.
2:40:31
Is that is that kind of like how it plays out?
2:40:33
Well, because think about it, I mean, it's just numbers.
2:40:35
It's just like if you put down an amazing lead line where
2:40:38
you're running like the fat bro line.
2:40:40
Lot of angle, nice and wide deep into the zones and you do
2:40:45
everything you need to. Speed doesn't even play a factor
2:40:48
at that point. As long as you're pushing it to
2:40:50
the maximum of the ability and you're still completing
2:40:52
everything, you'll get close to 100% point run.
2:40:55
So now the chase driver who was trying to glue, glue it to you
2:41:00
the entire time, In order for that chase to carry weight, he
2:41:05
also has to put down an amazing lead run to match your lead run
2:41:11
in order for us to go back to your chase runs and say, where's
2:41:14
the difference? But I think people will see a
2:41:17
chase run and see someone get closer and immediately say,
2:41:21
well, this guy won. That's me.
2:41:22
And they won't take, they won't take in consideration that the
2:41:25
lead driver messed up. So that's why they didn't allow
2:41:30
the proximity to be where it needs to be.
2:41:31
And I think that's the biggest confusion when it comes to
2:41:35
battles because there's a lot of times like, well, this guy was
2:41:37
closer. I'm like, yeah, but when he was
2:41:39
in his lead run, he messed up in three different spots, you know,
2:41:43
and. They it's difficult.
2:41:44
They may be minute, but at at the level of FD, like we're
2:41:48
dealing with professionals. So minute is minute.
2:41:50
It doesn't matter. No, I'm like.
2:41:51
That and you have to make sure your shit's 100% keep.
2:41:53
It that way. Keep it that way, yes.
2:41:55
Then you walk away like, well, that's my choice.
2:42:00
What's this is a good question I guess.
2:42:02
What's the next goal? What's something you want to
2:42:04
accomplish? I guess your personal goals,
2:42:06
your drifting goals, whatever it is.
2:42:11
Dude. That's FRS, Zach, I don't know
2:42:14
if you know this person. Yeah, Yeah, he's the FRS.
2:42:16
I thought. So I would say I don't know.
2:42:22
I, I think it's really, I think at this point it's just like
2:42:24
wherever drifting really pretty much needs me.
2:42:27
I mean, I, I'm, I'm just pleased that I'm able to do everything
2:42:30
that I'm doing. You are Batman.
2:42:33
He's a drifting. Disciple.
2:42:34
Batman is Jed Davis. You are.
2:42:37
He's a drifting disciple. I, it's maybe just continue
2:42:40
drifting globally. Like I, I would think like what
2:42:43
I said about trying to get to Colombia and go drift down there
2:42:45
and do all that. Like I, I feel like some of us
2:42:49
are lucky enough where we've gotten to a point where we're
2:42:53
able to go do like these really fun things, like go drift in
2:42:56
different countries and find these little nooks that we want
2:42:59
to go drift. And like, because like me
2:43:02
competing in a series is the last thing on my mind, you know
2:43:04
what I mean? Like, I still want like, if
2:43:06
something pops up, it's like, yeah, let's go do it.
2:43:08
But like, I know the game. And the game is if you go put a
2:43:12
video clip together of you doing something amazing, like that
2:43:15
carries way more weight. And especially if the difficulty
2:43:17
factors through the roof, you know?
2:43:19
But it's hard to do it because we've been to almost every track
2:43:22
on the East Coast. So the only smart thing to do is
2:43:25
just try to find somewhere else you haven't been and try to do
2:43:27
something gnarly. Manifest Destiny.
2:43:29
Well, that's what. Well, yeah, I change.
2:43:31
Well, I mean, we'll look at Drift.
2:43:32
Look at Drift Appalachia, right? It's it's popular because yeah,
2:43:36
it's crazy, it's wild, but it's because you guys have never seen
2:43:38
that before. I like that it's evolving too.
2:43:41
It's evolving. Oh, it's evolving.
2:43:43
It's evolving grip driving, I think.
2:43:46
From what I saw. Kind of like an homage to
2:43:50
initial DI. Have nothing to do with that
2:43:52
part of it because I don't do anything.
2:43:53
I know I feel like a couple people who might have an homage
2:43:56
to that and it's that a couple people who are maybe up here by
2:44:00
us. Well, who's the guy with the
2:44:02
BMW? Pete.
2:44:03
Pete. That dude rips.
2:44:05
I tried to try to keep up with them not drifting in the Z ones.
2:44:08
That happened. That happened.
2:44:10
He was gone. Him and Johnny drove.
2:44:12
Home local toge drivers. Him and Johnny they're.
2:44:15
They're legit. So that.
2:44:17
That. Group, allegedly that group.
2:44:20
If you want to go find out who that group is, just go find
2:44:22
Pete. Is there a team name?
2:44:24
No, not well. There is a team name, but
2:44:26
Johnny's not really. No, Johnny's not affiliated with
2:44:28
that name, but if you want to go check them out, you can go check
2:44:30
out Winding Spirit on Instagram. Is that what it is?
2:44:32
Winding spirit? Yeah, that's tight.
2:44:34
But they're they're they hypothetically exist.
2:44:39
And ever since we were younger, that group has existed for very,
2:44:43
very, very. Long I saw that dude on the on I
2:44:46
was like yo the the best dude here is ripping up and down in
2:44:49
his beamer right now there's. He's checked me before because
2:44:51
we had a group called BM Speed Stars for a while and he checked
2:44:55
me on Instagram early days. What, like he was like, yo.
2:44:58
Like he was like, yo, you got BM on your name?
2:45:00
Like lock it up BM is. And I was like.
2:45:03
The location where they go. They're like, they're like,
2:45:06
dude, like. What's a sticker for sticker?
2:45:08
What's up dude? He.
2:45:09
Wanted it what? And I said no, he wanted the
2:45:11
heat. He no, he would have given me
2:45:13
the fucking heat. Dude.
2:45:14
These guys are not. They do not fuck.
2:45:17
Yo, so he like, yo, I'm about this dude.
2:45:18
So you mean he rolled up on you? Like, yo, what's up?
2:45:21
He was trying to flex on your spot.
2:45:22
Yeah. And we're the only team on this
2:45:23
fucking mountain. I will fucking hand it to you.
2:45:25
Do a good. Yeah, no way.
2:45:27
Take it, take it. That's crazy.
2:45:29
We're in a good spot, man. We got mountain.
2:45:30
Yeah. Got me.
2:45:32
Like. That we got you.
2:45:33
Talent there. That place got I named our group
2:45:37
that group because that place just brought us all together.
2:45:40
That group runs the fuck out of that place and they own it so.
2:45:44
Winding spirit? Yep.
2:45:45
That's and the place that we're talking about is.
2:45:47
And they don't really get. They know it, I'm not.
2:45:49
Going to shout out like that. Often they don't really even
2:45:51
like it. Oh no, yeah.
2:45:53
Damn, that's how it was. Three hours into the podcast, I
2:45:55
don't think anybody's going to find this, but.
2:45:57
If you but he will be, he will be shot.
2:45:59
He will be shot. That's.
2:46:00
Funny. They're the, they're the hardest
2:46:02
group. They mean every they they, they
2:46:04
are the ones who dis discipline that area I feel like.
2:46:09
Yeah, that being brought up another question, Evergreen Toge
2:46:12
stage ever going to happen? Man the.
2:46:14
Fact that we even talked about that earlier, that's sick.
2:46:17
I mean, yeah, I know some people know there's property available
2:46:20
and stuff like that, but it costs a lot of money.
2:46:22
There's a lot of zoning, a lot of big boy stuff.
2:46:25
So and let's, let's face it, trying to convince the Township
2:46:28
to like, hey, let's do this. I'm sure they would be like,
2:46:32
yeah, sure. So.
2:46:35
You know why not? Is there a way to do it?
2:46:38
I have thought of some clever ways of maybe pulling it off,
2:46:41
but just. Tell them it's a driveway and
2:46:44
then you ran out of. Concrete.
2:46:45
Yeah, I wish. I saw it on Reddit once.
2:46:48
I even want to be like, oh, well, maybe like, you know,
2:46:50
doing it where the trees are at, it muffles the noise.
2:46:53
But like, at the end of the day, like someone's gonna say
2:46:56
something. So is it impossible?
2:46:58
No. Could it?
2:47:00
Probably haven't, Probably not. But it's it's not impossible.
2:47:04
Do you think if do you think money is the deciding factor?
2:47:07
I think money, if it's only money, then it has to be a lot
2:47:11
of money. OK, so you heard it here.
2:47:13
If you got a lot of money and if you don't care, but it has to be
2:47:15
a return on your investment. If it's just like I got some
2:47:17
money but I have connections, I think you're better off having
2:47:20
connections with, you know, someone somehow to try to make.
2:47:24
And I think that's how that stuff happens.
2:47:26
But so anytime soon? Probably not.
2:47:28
Something like that, that'd be fun as fuck.
2:47:29
You're the guy to do it, Carl. I just don't know how I don't
2:47:32
fucking no one reaches out to. Me with these opportunities will
2:47:34
talk. You guys can figure something?
2:47:36
Out. I'm just gonna be the guy that's
2:47:37
driving a little talk to. It'll be like, I'll give you a
2:47:40
bit. I'll be the person you know.
2:47:42
You know that you ever. Seen this guy in a suit, he
2:47:44
looked good. Lightning McQueen, I have worn a
2:47:46
suit here. Before he could convince some
2:47:47
people to to do things, I think. But I wouldn't convince.
2:47:49
You to speak to my associate. I would.
2:47:51
I would not convince you in a suit.
2:47:52
I would show up jeans. And T-shirt.
2:47:56
Nope. Because I'm just like you, man.
2:47:58
No, stop. That's it.
2:48:02
Is that Senator Fetterman or whatever?
2:48:05
I don't think that'd work. Out there, he just walks into
2:48:08
the Senate with a hoodie on. He.
2:48:09
Has never you guys never watched this movie in in high school
2:48:13
where it was it was a door to door salesman named Bill Porter
2:48:18
selling Watkins products. Did that did that unlock I?
2:48:22
Don't think so. What was the name of the movie
2:48:24
or SH? I don't remember but that was
2:48:26
that movie rings in my head after whatever the fuck we do
2:48:30
nowadays. It's about being an entrepreneur
2:48:33
and just not giving up. And shit, was it like a real,
2:48:36
was it a movie, like a fake movie or was it a like?
2:48:38
It was a. Documentary that that they
2:48:40
played Wheeling in the TV unk. We're going to get one of those
2:48:45
for your month. No, Yeah, we don't.
2:48:47
We're. Going to get ATV.
2:48:48
We don't need it. Like science.
2:48:49
Like yes, substitute TV. That's that's what we watched
2:48:52
on. And you get the TV that's like
2:48:55
part of its furniture, like those old style ones.
2:48:58
Yes. They're expensive now.
2:48:59
Yeah, I know, but. Pisses me off because we fucking
2:49:03
threw three or four of those out at my grand great uncle.
2:49:07
Place I thought you were going to say off of fire escapes.
2:49:09
That's what we did. That's sick.
2:49:11
That's some lost boy shit. What the fuck?
2:49:14
Yo shit, Josh wanted me to tell you that I'm not your unk, I'm
2:49:19
your big bro. Like 'cause you're related.
2:49:23
No, 'cause I'm not 50 years old. So is that so?
2:49:27
Am I an unk? I don't know if you are you.
2:49:29
Borderline UNK. You're you're his big bro, like
2:49:33
he's your big bro. He's my big.
2:49:34
He's your big bro, but he's saying that mean that Reese is
2:49:37
my unk. Yeah, probably his unk.
2:49:40
You're probably his UNK, yeah. That's cool.
2:49:44
You're kind of unk, but Josh was like, he's you're not he's,
2:49:46
you're not his unk. I can almost picture Josh's face
2:49:49
when he says that. You know you're not.
2:49:52
You know, Carl doesn't know what he's talking about.
2:49:55
I'm like, all right, so Josh is more Gen.
2:49:57
Z than you are. All right, moving on, dude.
2:49:59
Josh is tapped in like that. Yeah, I know.
2:50:02
You know why I know Josh's shoes?
2:50:06
And he's on I. Josh's shoes and clothes are
2:50:08
always fine. You ever notice that he's Puerto
2:50:11
Rican? That's true.
2:50:13
That's crazy, no? Would you ever notice that he
2:50:16
brushed out those parachute pants for the first time?
2:50:19
And I would. Yeah, that.
2:50:20
Was an yoki that. Was the Yoki style influence.
2:50:23
Was it? Probably.
2:50:24
God damn it, I thought it was just.
2:50:25
He went to Japan once and then he had parachute pants.
2:50:28
I didn't even. I thought he was just trying
2:50:29
something new. He is in America.
2:50:32
Pairing out the boys, yeah. I know, right?
2:50:34
Like I, I mean, I love Josh. That's why I like the bigger
2:50:36
pants, because I'm like damn, my knees aren't even touching.
2:50:40
Hey, he looks good in them, I'll give him that.
2:50:44
Reese, how do you have? How does he have the grip set up
2:50:47
differently on the VQ/LS Cool Cats cars?
2:50:51
Not just tire difference. That's Dan Savage.
2:50:55
Oh, so with the VA car I like, I'm just trying to get as much
2:51:03
side bite as possible. So I'm like, I read I
2:51:06
disconnected the sway wire in order to get that, but I think
2:51:11
they're set up complete. I don't want to say they're set
2:51:13
up exactly the same, but obviously the horsepower
2:51:16
difference is, is definitely going to vary things.
2:51:18
So I'm definitely searching for grip and stuff like that with
2:51:22
the the NA 550 set up and with nitrous, it's like dude, you
2:51:27
know. That's fucking crazy.
2:51:29
So I think the the biggest, the biggest difference is, is like
2:51:35
the competition car. I feel like those cars are more
2:51:37
set up for like maybe 123 laps and then the other one is just
2:51:43
kind of set up a lot more loose and stuff like that.
2:51:45
Like currently what you saw like I was asking the toe out.
2:51:47
Yeah. He's like, can you toe out the
2:51:49
rear? I'm like, huh?
2:51:49
Yeah. Like what?
2:51:51
Well, because I had no grip on the mountain.
2:51:54
I mean, I mean, excuse me, I had too much.
2:51:55
Grip on the mountain. Yeah, yeah.
2:51:58
So like and it was, it was probably whacked out, right?
2:52:00
Like the whole setup. Yeah, I'm sure it was.
2:52:02
Did we? Did he give you the alignment
2:52:03
sheet? I'm sure we had.
2:52:04
Not I'm sure you can send it to me, whatever, but it's like,
2:52:07
yeah, I have a lot less grip in the in the VQ car than the grip
2:52:11
that I have set up in the VA car.
2:52:13
And that's just because to manage the power, you know, I
2:52:16
need the grip set up for the horsepower and I enjoy the glide
2:52:20
and the momentum requirement from the VQ car.
2:52:24
So two different styles of driving.
2:52:26
I like both. I like that I can do both.
2:52:28
So that's cool. Good question too.
2:52:33
Opinion on the new Origin Lab Drift Line 350Z kit and when
2:52:36
will it be available for order? Well, we're trying to bring them
2:52:39
in the next container, so hopefully like four to five
2:52:41
months. He he tried, he tried.
2:52:43
He's like. I tried to get him to.
2:52:45
Buy I was like yo-yo. I just know.
2:52:48
I just don't think I I'm going to break it.
2:52:51
I know I'm going to break it. And yeah, that's really what it
2:52:56
is. I I just know I'm gonna break
2:52:57
it. Yeah, everything breaks though.
2:52:59
Yeah, I mean, I look, I give it to Tom and I give it to Josh.
2:53:02
Like they break it, they fix it. They only get, yeah, they only
2:53:04
get like one kid a year. Yeah, and, you know, and who's
2:53:07
the other one that does it all the time?
2:53:08
Dustin Miles. He breaks it.
2:53:10
He fixes it, breaks it. This could be you.
2:53:12
Nope. That's not me.
2:53:15
That's like. But you want your car to look
2:53:17
that. Way I do I want it.
2:53:19
I. Appreciate.
2:53:19
You got to appreciate the effort.
2:53:21
The effort is there, like you. You look, look at it this way.
2:53:25
I tell, I tell the young kids I'm like, you appreciate, like
2:53:27
the old guy did all of that. And I was like, yeah, it's just
2:53:30
cool. Like, let me try it, you know?
2:53:32
But like, if I could get three of those kits, then yeah.
2:53:36
Rock. What if?
2:53:36
What if you get one kit and three front bumpers?
2:53:42
Yeah, that might be something about it.
2:53:43
The rear bumper's probably going to get ate up a lot too, so.
2:53:45
OK, so. Maybe, maybe 2 front bumpers, 3
2:53:48
rear bumpers, yeah. One prize.
2:53:51
I could see that. You want some frustrating?
2:53:53
Especially with those wheels, yeah.
2:53:56
I think you're going to need it launches.
2:53:58
It dude, you know, we'll say. Z loves to just launch.
2:54:02
The back, the rear bumper off, especially his, You see how much
2:54:04
this shit fucking tucks rim and shit like that thing's always.
2:54:08
He sent me a photo and that thing was talking like crazy.
2:54:11
I was like. I was almost touching.
2:54:12
Body kit might not, I know. Work out, but it looks gangster
2:54:15
when it squats that way. To you?
2:54:17
Yeah, Not to me. KBD.
2:54:18
You like that shit too, don't you?
2:54:19
No. It's on the fucking ground.
2:54:21
I don't like squat, I drift. I don't like car squatting.
2:54:23
Ever. Yeah.
2:54:24
But I'm the wrong person. I talk.
2:54:26
To I like it, I. Like I think all my friends like
2:54:28
that shit now but I don't. I never did.
2:54:30
I don't get it. I want the car to look like it's
2:54:32
sitting. I want it to be leveled but then
2:54:34
like when I give it power it like it.
2:54:36
You know it, really. Goes down just a little.
2:54:38
Bit yeah, that's Carl. That's me I'm talking.
2:54:39
I want my shit. I didn't like it now because
2:54:42
like. Fucking crazy The.
2:54:44
Front end was too high up so like when it would do it, it
2:54:47
exaggerated it but now? Now it's actually going to look.
2:54:50
Now we're leveled. Kind of even I also noticed
2:54:53
while messing around with your car I I noticed why ZS always
2:54:56
look like they're dragging ass because the I think the
2:54:59
difference between the wheel gap and the front is a lot more
2:55:01
exaggerated on a 350Z. So when you try to make the
2:55:04
wheel gap straight, let me rephrase.
2:55:07
That the rear. When you try to make the body
2:55:10
straight with the ground, which is what I usually try to do, the
2:55:13
front is almost tucking compared to the rear.
2:55:17
So it's like you need to you need to lift the front up to
2:55:20
make the gap look right, but then the car looks like it's
2:55:23
dragging ass. Not that means you got to have a
2:55:26
stagger. Double stagger.
2:55:28
I'm telling you, it's something with the way they designed that
2:55:30
car. It's just kind of hard to make
2:55:32
it look right if you want it low. 18191819.
2:55:36
That no, but I'm talking the opposite.
2:55:40
Oh. Yeah, that's the problem.
2:55:43
Am I talking the opposite? Maybe I'm not.
2:55:45
Maybe you're right. I have to think about it.
2:55:48
Again, it's 1819 to fill up the gap in the.
2:55:50
Rear in the rear. I do see that.
2:55:52
I mean, I see. Even.
2:55:52
Yeah, maybe you're right. It has to be like what kind of?
2:55:55
What do you have? The bigger wheel.
2:55:57
I have 1818 OK. I have square set up in.
2:56:00
The but then you put a 17 on the front of the car and it's like
2:56:02
that wheel's small. Yeah, yeah.
2:56:03
Well, that's not a 17. So you need a 7?
2:56:05
You need a 1819 on AZ? Let's fucking go.
2:56:09
What? Where are people doing that
2:56:10
shit? You said that shit.
2:56:13
Yeah, he said. He just said he said 18.
2:56:15
Oh, he's right dude. That's what these people need,
2:56:18
man. I'm about to run 1819 on my.
2:56:20
No, you're still. I don't.
2:56:21
Even wanna do that? No, we're not.
2:56:24
What do you think about running nineteens in the back?
2:56:26
No, absolutely not. I'm good.
2:56:28
Why not? I don't know.
2:56:29
I just don't know the. Tire is gangster.
2:56:31
You know why? Because the tire is going to be
2:56:33
this big Yeah, whatever. There's no side bite there, I
2:56:36
just. I got it.
2:56:36
What we're doing if we get AZ, that's 100% happened dude.
2:56:40
You're thinking about getting AZ.
2:56:42
If I ever got one for the shot I want to build one really bad.
2:56:44
You should. You should.
2:56:45
Yeah, but like, there's a lot. Like I love two 40s, I love two
2:56:48
40s, but disease are just like, that's just, that's our, that's
2:56:53
our 240 right now. Yeah, that's I agree.
2:56:55
Malcolm would learn how to drift.
2:56:57
And if we and if 19, I feel like if more people would embrace it
2:57:02
instead of making fun of it. I mean, I mean, I make disease
2:57:04
all the time. Yeah.
2:57:05
We were just talking about this. Yeah, I always make fun of
2:57:07
saying it looks like a mouse pet.
2:57:08
Like a mouse. Yeah, a computer mouse.
2:57:10
Or like a little fish. Yeah, like a blowfish.
2:57:16
Like, like, but it's like, but it imagine it's, it's the one
2:57:21
car that, yeah, maybe an ugly duckling, but man, it's it's
2:57:24
really helping spread the word for.
2:57:25
Drifting ripped I fucking. OK, this is what I think of the
2:57:29
Z. This is my comparison.
2:57:30
You know that friend that you always had when you're in high
2:57:32
school and you're like, this guy hasn't got with any girls, man,
2:57:35
what can we do? Let's help him out.
2:57:36
Let's figure out a way. He's a good looking guy.
2:57:39
And then you bring him out somewhere and you try to wing
2:57:41
man him or something and then he, every time he opens his
2:57:44
fucking mouth, ruins everything. That's the Z every time you hear
2:57:50
that exhaust. What the fuck are?
2:57:51
You fucking over? You suck.
2:57:53
It's because it's because the way the VQ.
2:57:55
What was that? Isn't that a good comparison?
2:57:57
No, you're like, you're trying to like you.
2:58:00
We're trying to get you laid with every time you open your
2:58:03
mouth. You're just an idiot.
2:58:04
Who? That's AZ.
2:58:06
Every time you hear that exhaust you're just a fucking idiot.
2:58:08
That thing sounds terrible. No, no.
2:58:10
No, I've heard some good ones. You have to have a like honestly
2:58:13
I I have one of the school cars has a a boiler exhaust on it and
2:58:17
and it sounds great. Bullshit.
2:58:19
I would. I would agree.
2:58:20
I need a sound clips I need. It sounded great, all the other
2:58:23
school cards that I have. I would give it to Borla they
2:58:25
they could probably figure out a way.
2:58:27
Yeah, I mean, it was expensive. I was told much that I went to
2:58:29
go look to see if I could find another one.
2:58:31
Was like 1200 bucks. I'm like, I don't know if I
2:58:32
don't care that much. When I go to, when I.
2:58:35
For myself, for my own personal car, maybe, yeah.
2:58:37
But like for the school cars, I'm like, Nah, it's just.
2:58:40
Oh yeah, when I've drifted AZ before they're sometimes so loud
2:58:44
that I almost do it purposefully to annoy the people around me.
2:58:50
I just put my music on. Like, whoa, whoa, just fucking
2:58:54
just. That's your personality.
2:58:56
But yeah, boom. I'll put my headphones on and
2:58:59
like I think when I was at Evergreen at the last one, I
2:59:01
just had my headphones on. I'm like, I'm not listening to
2:59:03
this. When you have to put headphones
2:59:06
on so you don't hear your exhaust.
2:59:08
But it's like, I mean, I used to, I had my headphones on when
2:59:10
I'm like on the SIM. So like same same.
2:59:13
I guess I I see so that when I'm on the SIM, I try to and I try
2:59:17
to mimic the environment. It's always just music and my
2:59:22
gloves. Yeah, that's it.
2:59:24
That's it's so funny, right? I feel so bad because when I
2:59:27
hear people say they have gloves on for the SIM I'm like what?
2:59:31
No, but it. But then I wear gloves, those
2:59:33
those like those driver gloves in real life, and I'm like,
2:59:35
well, I have no room to talk. Well, because that way.
2:59:39
Carl's also naked. What?
2:59:40
What I'm? Feeling like hand wise like when
2:59:43
I'm spinning the wheel and doing this that and the 3rd when I go
2:59:45
to my car I'm not switching like how I feel or grip the wheel.
2:59:50
It's the same fucking feeling. His SIM wheel feels the same way
2:59:52
as this car that's just loose, that's just about to fall.
2:59:55
Off like it's my gloves. SIM I don't use gloves.
2:59:57
I use bare hands. And then when I go to Broadway,
3:00:00
I'll I'll, yeah, I'll put the gloves on.
3:00:03
But like people ask me like so like does the gloves help?
3:00:05
I'm like no dude, I just wear the gloves sometimes.
3:00:07
I hate. Them, I just think they look
3:00:09
cool. Yeah, they're like, you think
3:00:10
those gloves look cool? I'm like, yeah, I'm old and I
3:00:12
think they look cool. Shut up.
3:00:14
I like mine because I feel like it makes me look like a go Kart.
3:00:17
Race you want to hear something really weird?
3:00:18
I had gloves that were hand me downs and I wore them sometimes
3:00:22
then I stopped. I was like, I don't want to wear
3:00:24
these gloves. I don't wear them on the street.
3:00:25
And then I I started drifting and I would, I would stub my
3:00:29
hand on my wheel my my thumb way more often or just anytime I
3:00:37
didn't have gloves on at the I'd be like shifting or something or
3:00:40
E brake come back up boom stub my thumb.
3:00:43
I'm like what the fuck Every time I put my gloves on never
3:00:45
happens. That's funny.
3:00:47
Doesn't make any sense to me. No glove.
3:00:49
No glove. It literally.
3:00:50
Forced me to wear the gloves cuz I was like I'm not trying to do
3:00:53
that every time. This is the weirdest thing.
3:00:55
I think it could be mental but it was just weird.
3:00:58
I can't do the colorful fuzzy gloves that I see people I can't
3:01:01
do. That I have a specific kind of
3:01:03
glove that I like if it's just. Right.
3:01:06
I like mine. Mine are made from like the same
3:01:08
company that makes all the James Bond ones and.
3:01:10
Like I've seen. The make of her.
3:01:11
Gloves. Had like outright.
3:01:12
Stars, but they're hammy. Downs, my roommate has something
3:01:14
similar. He wears a glove because he
3:01:17
likes it. That's it.
3:01:18
And they're like fingerless. Yeah, that's just Yeah, he's
3:01:21
fly. So I like the gloves as long as
3:01:24
they're right here, like they cover my wrist, because then it
3:01:28
doesn't even look like me in the car while I'm looking at my
3:01:31
hands and my wheel. And I feel like I'm just.
3:01:32
Watching a race car driver. I've so I never I never got
3:01:36
blisters, steering wheels or never it's.
3:01:37
From my handbrake I know that. And I would almost, for the
3:01:40
longest time, shill half. What are?
3:01:43
You. Gripping the fuck?
3:01:45
I, I just, I, I'm too aggressive.
3:01:47
What the fuck? Everything I do, I'm just like,
3:01:50
like, like it's life. It's funny, like in the school,
3:01:53
everyone does that. He.
3:01:55
Gripped the shit. Out of it, I'm like, yo, the
3:01:57
only thing you're going to be aggressive with is maybe no
3:02:01
ditty that pulling the the hamburger.
3:02:02
I need, I need to go, I need to go to your school, to be honest.
3:02:05
With you, everything else, I'm like, hey, you just got to just
3:02:07
vibe. You're like you're trying to do
3:02:08
all these movements, like all quick.
3:02:10
I'm like, yo, do I do that when I'm driving with you?
3:02:13
No, it looks like you're just doing everything real slow and
3:02:15
smooth. I'm like, so why are you doing
3:02:16
everything fast? Like you just got to, you just
3:02:19
got to feel it. Just ride the wave.
3:02:21
Bro just dude, yeah, just. And then one of the dudes is
3:02:23
like, wow, like doing it smooth is like a lot more boring and
3:02:26
then doing it all crazy. I'm like, no shit, That's yeah.
3:02:30
But then. But then you throw the crazy in
3:02:32
later. On well, no, I told him, I'm
3:02:34
like, when you're doing it by yourself, it's supposed to be
3:02:35
smooth because there's no one with you.
3:02:37
The carnage starts to happen when you start doing it and then
3:02:40
you start mixing two other people in the mix.
3:02:43
So then instead of you focus on you driving, because you can go
3:02:46
idle pilot driving by yourself. Now you can focus on everybody
3:02:49
else. You know what I mean?
3:02:51
So when you get to the point where driving by yourself is
3:02:53
literally boring, I mean, and or you're doing it correctly,
3:02:56
hitting all your marks, then I'm like, yeah, go do tandem then,
3:02:59
because now you can focus on something else.
3:03:01
You know what I mean? Like I cannot do single runs.
3:03:05
Like I'm like, all right. You're every week I got to hear.
3:03:07
That every week we hear this. Everybody hates single.
3:03:10
Yeah, I'm not only fucking person.
3:03:12
I'll do a couple and like if you know what, I'll do single runs.
3:03:15
If I'm working on my tree turn, I'm like OK, cool, I'll do.
3:03:17
I'll do single runs. I do single runs and I want to
3:03:20
show off. Check out this fucking perfect
3:03:23
run right here. Perfect run.
3:03:28
To me, I just, that's all that matters.
3:03:31
To me, that's all that matters. No, and I think you're at that
3:03:35
point where you enjoy the swinger runs and stuff like
3:03:37
that. And there was a point that I was
3:03:38
like that too. And I think all of us were that
3:03:39
first started out and then after a while, I think after a while
3:03:43
you go to the track and you're looking for quality laps.
3:03:45
So you're just like, all right, if I'm going to be here and I
3:03:47
know I'm going to get like maybe 15 laps today or in this time
3:03:51
period, like I want to drive and do this, this, this because like
3:03:54
you're like, OK, I'm going to try to get the maximum out of
3:03:56
this. You know what?
3:03:57
I mean I feel the same way though, the single like tree
3:03:59
turn or the first turn at E town I.
3:04:01
I love doing that turn alone and trying to go as fast as I can.
3:04:05
This year I thought that was cool.
3:04:06
This year that I don't really single single apps are for me
3:04:14
are fun because then I get to just enjoy the rest of yeah, you
3:04:17
do one and then you'll get tired of it like you're saying, but
3:04:20
then afterwards you have that hangout phase because you
3:04:24
already know what you did the 1. You could do another one and
3:04:26
then hang out again. Hang out again.
3:04:28
The cigarette. Yeah, Oh yeah, one. 100% the
3:04:31
whole sun. The whole sun is just beaming,
3:04:34
you're watching your friends do the same thing, and the car is
3:04:38
looking good this summer. That's what I want to do, dude.
3:04:40
I just want to enjoy. That was.
3:04:42
You at the last car dude, I just want to fucking.
3:04:45
You just want a vibe, that's what you.
3:04:46
Want to do, I just don't want to fucking argue with nobody.
3:04:50
Then stay away from competition driving.
3:04:52
Yeah, stay away from that or like.
3:04:54
That team. Stuff right now just fuck thank
3:04:57
you guys. You have anything else you want
3:04:59
to share Reese? It's fucking 10.
3:05:00
We gotta. Go.
3:05:01
We gotta go eat. I don't know.

3:05:21
Awesome. I did five last year, but I'm
3:05:23
going to do all eight this year. Oh.
3:05:24
Well, I can't wait for that shit.
3:05:26
I'm ready. I'm ready to see Brian Hobb
3:05:27
ready to see you. I'm ready to see everyone doing
3:05:29
this FD shit. So let's.
3:05:30
See it. Thank you guys so much for
3:05:32
listening. This has ever been.
3:05:33
I don't even Malcolm. What number is this?
3:05:36
137. I think this one was good.
3:05:40
This was amazing. This was a good one as far.
3:05:41
As as far as like quality stuff that we said, yeah.
3:05:44
Frankie just wants to like literally punt every kid in the
3:05:48
world. That's.
3:05:49
Yeah, it didn't start off that. Good.
3:05:52
It did not start off, people. Never have children.
3:05:54
Ever. Yeah, I'm sorry, man.
3:05:56
I just, I'm honest. Thank.
3:05:58
You guys, goodnight. Bye, goodnight.
3:06:02
Let's go eat, yeah? We should probably.
3:06:04
We're gonna think we're gonna eat.
3:06:05
We better run. I mean, we got an hour, but.
3:06:09
They're going to see. You.
3:06:28
Well, that episode was not what I was expecting.
3:06:31
In the beginning. We were talking about kids and
3:06:34
was that weird? No, I honestly it was pretty
3:06:38
wholesome and deep. I guess it was.
3:06:40
It wasn't dumb at all. All right, cool.
3:06:42
Yeah, I was hoping I was like, I know I'm going to come off as an
3:06:45
asshole talking about kids, but. I mean, people relate to both
3:06:49
spectrums at each end of the spectrum.
3:06:51
So yeah, I guess so. Love to know what you guys think
3:06:55
about that whole topic. I brought that shit up and Reese
3:06:57
was like, he looked like Reese got uncomfortable.
3:06:59
He's like, OK, well, here we go. Let's talk about something that
3:07:01
has nothing. I was like, all right, I don't
3:07:03
know. I just, I just get on here and
3:07:05
just talk. Yeah, but it also seemed like
3:07:07
Reese kind of appreciate, appreciated that it was kind of
3:07:10
just a hangout. Yeah.
3:07:12
As opposed to some other podcasts he's probably done.
3:07:14
It's probably more of a. Probably getting questions.
3:07:16
Straight to the cut interview style, you know?
3:07:18
It's like an interrogation. Yeah, it's too too car related.
3:07:22
This one is car and life related.
3:07:25
Yeah, we were just hanging out. I mean, how often do I get to
3:07:27
hang out with Reese and actually talk?
3:07:29
That's the benefit of having ever.
3:07:30
Yeah, it's the benefit of having somebody on for the second time.
3:07:33
You can kind of just, you know, continue the conversation and
3:07:36
veer off because you already know their whole story.
3:07:38
So. Was that our first repeat guest
3:07:40
that wasn't a local friend? Because it feels like it was to
3:07:43
me. Yes, alone, yes, Yeah, yes, I
3:07:48
believe so. And his first episode is
3:07:52
definitely top 20 podcasts. It's in my opinion because he
3:07:56
wanted some crazy shit. I think that episode or I'm
3:07:58
confusing him with Damien, but I think their stories intertwined.
3:08:02
I think that they were really close to each other in podcast
3:08:06
episodes. No, but I think like they, they
3:08:08
knew each other and they drifted together too.
3:08:10
So that's why I'm like, I'm confusing some stuff, some
3:08:13
stories. But yeah, guys, go check out
3:08:15
that original episode if you haven't, if you haven't listened
3:08:18
to it yet, if you haven't heard already, we are doing a Stance
3:08:22
XR1 coilover giveaway on the website.
3:08:24
So basically every $5 spent gets you an entry and if you buy any
3:08:28
merch, it's double entries. So make sure you check that out.
3:08:31
Stance coilovers are pretty much the only coilover we use.
3:08:35
I would say us and Front Street. If we're, if we're using
3:08:39
anything else, it's because we can't afford the Stance
3:08:41
coilovers at at the moment. So Stance has been supporting us
3:08:45
for years now. I'd say I'd say 5 plus years,
3:08:50
yeah. So they you can you can get
3:08:53
those coilovers with anything. Yeah, they they have great
3:08:55
availability, availability with customer service and replacement
3:08:59
parts, so. And you can get swift springs,
3:09:01
you can get custom dampening, you can get custom spring rates.
3:09:04
You can do anything you want. Yeah, so.
3:09:06
Good company overall. Yeah, great company and I, I'm
3:09:12
excited for this one. Last month we did the Origin
3:09:15
Labo body kit giveaway. We got a lot of orders because
3:09:18
of that. It seems like people really want
3:09:21
body kits. But guys, you have to remember
3:09:23
the stance coil overs are more expensive than that body kit.
3:09:26
Yeah. So couple $100.
3:09:28
Yeah. So coil overs, MSRP for 1750
3:09:31
plus shipping, plus anything custom you want.
3:09:34
Figure it figure this like if let's say I wanted coil overs,
3:09:37
right? And I didn't know when I was
3:09:38
going to buy them, go on the website, buy some shirts, win
3:09:43
the raffle, order the coilovers. Now I have money to play with.
3:09:47
So now I'm going to get swift springs.
3:09:48
I'm just going to be like, yo, can you add these in?
3:09:51
Just bill me for them. Swift springs, custom spring
3:09:53
rates this and that Boom your your suspension's done for your
3:09:56
car for a long time until you got to get them rebuilt.
3:10:00
But just what like 5 to 10 years later like.
3:10:02
Yeah, those things last more. Yeah.
3:10:04
With that coating they have on it, those things last a long
3:10:07
time. Yeah.
3:10:07
So I think this, I think this raffle is one of the better
3:10:10
ones. I'm hoping we can keep these
3:10:11
going for the whole year because it would it would be nice, but
3:10:14
it's hard to like find a product that is as universal as coil
3:10:18
over as. Body kits and everybody could
3:10:19
benefit from, you know. Yeah, if you guys have any
3:10:22
ideas, please shoot us Adm with a with any suggestions for our
3:10:27
next raffle. As for the in shop promotion we
3:10:29
have going on this month, we now have 20% off vapor honing for
3:10:34
the month of February. So if you are local or you don't
3:10:36
have to be local, you can send stuff in, we can have it vapor
3:10:40
honed for you and we can send it back.
3:10:42
We're doing 20% off. Yeah, I feel like that's a
3:10:45
pretty good deal. Yeah, I would.
3:10:47
I would probably send us an e-mail first with the stuff you
3:10:50
got and everything and then we'll.
3:10:52
Yeah, Eddie actually set up a submission form on the website,
3:10:57
so you could just submit it in there, tell us how many pieces,
3:11:00
a description, and you could even add some photos and a phone
3:11:02
number and then we could get back to you from there.
3:11:05
Awesome. I also forgot to mention, we are
3:11:08
doing that raffle, that giveaway, but we're also going
3:11:11
to be trying to push a lot of stance promotion this month.
3:11:14
So we are working with them for this raffle.
3:11:17
So we're going to be doing a Stance coilover install on an
3:11:21
R34 GTT. So we're going to be doing that.
3:11:24
We of course got Josh's coilovers coming right now the
3:11:28
XR1 DI, don't know what they're called, some kind of special
3:11:34
drifting variant, I forget what they call it, but.
3:11:36
You know. It might be AD one, but I don't
3:11:38
think it's called that. I got to remember.
3:11:41
But yeah, his are coming for the S15.
3:11:43
The only problem is the S15 is getting caged right now.
3:11:48
It's going to take two weeks. Holy.
3:11:49
When are we going to get the coil overs?
3:11:51
I don't know. And then we get them the coil
3:11:52
overs back and I told Josh we kind of want to paint the the
3:11:56
engine Bay 1st and everything, huh.
3:11:58
Yeah, I told him he should get this thing painted before we
3:12:00
start installing everything. Oh my goodness.
3:12:02
You know, so that adds some more time.
3:12:04
So that video might take a while, but we're going to be
3:12:06
doing some content on those coilovers, some unboxing videos
3:12:09
and basically try to show you guys a little bit more in depth
3:12:13
about those coilovers because I personally think those are the
3:12:15
coilovers you should be buying If you have an S chassis and you
3:12:19
and you are into drifting, I think those are the only ones
3:12:21
you should be buying. So yeah, make sure you check
3:12:24
those out. They're on our website.
3:12:25
If you don't feel like trying to wait a month and see if you want
3:12:29
to raffle, you can always just buy them on the website.
3:12:31
A lot of them are in stock. We do we have any in stock right
3:12:33
now here? We might have sold out.
3:12:35
We sold out. We.
3:12:36
Sold out, yeah, we try to keep a set of 13 and 14 here, but they
3:12:40
do sell out pretty often. As far as Arrow, we have some
3:12:44
Origin Arrow coming in the next. I would say end of next week, it
3:12:50
should be here and it's not a lot of stuff, but there's we
3:12:54
definitely have fenders. We have a lot of fenders.
3:12:58
I want to say we might have a 180SX Type 2 hood coming FRP.
3:13:03
Oh, you crazy. Yeah.
3:13:05
So you guys might want to jump on that if you're looking for a
3:13:08
hood because hoods are never here.
3:13:10
So like I said, FRP, 180SX, Type 2 origin hood that should be
3:13:15
here. Anything else you can remember
3:13:18
that's going to be available I feel like.
3:13:21
It's just a whole bunch of fenders.
3:13:22
A. Lot of chaser stuff.
3:13:23
If you if you got a chaser, I think you're good.
3:13:26
We got rear overs, front overs, probably a body kit or two.
3:13:30
There's a lot of stuff FRSBRZ rear roof wings.
3:13:35
Yeah, yeah. Rear wings too.
3:13:38
Yes, yeah, yes. So a lot of that stuff, we got
3:13:41
fenders for those cars as well, possibly a body kit or two.
3:13:45
We got to double check when everything gets here.
3:13:47
But yeah, we definitely have some origin stuff coming in.
3:13:51
What else we got going on? On the website, there's a couple
3:13:55
of new products on there. If, if you feel like you can't
3:13:59
get the right fitment with your steering wheel, you know, it
3:14:01
feels too far, it feels, you know, got to reach.
3:14:04
We have some new works Bell steering wheel spacers.
3:14:08
Spacers you ever see Julian Jacobs car?
3:14:11
No. What does that look like?
3:14:13
You know how tall he is? Yeah, because every time Carl
3:14:15
sees him, he mentions how tall he is to him.
3:14:17
Yeah. How fucking annoying is that?
3:14:18
Anyway, it's Carl, so he's got. So he like sits in the back seat
3:14:24
of the car pretty much the seats like all the way hitting the
3:14:27
back seat bump. So how many spacers does he
3:14:29
have? Oh.
3:14:30
Shit ton he's got like 2 quick releases, 18 adapters.
3:14:33
No way. No, I swear to God, no.
3:14:35
He, he might have actually had two quick releases on at one
3:14:37
point. I'm not.
3:14:38
I might not be making that up. But see a picture.
3:14:40
Yeah, dude, if if you're tall and you're trying to drive one
3:14:43
of these cars, you got to have a custom set up.
3:14:45
Yeah, it's it's pretty funny, actually, when you see it.
3:14:48
That's crazy. And when he gets cars built in
3:14:49
Japan and stuff, they're always like, what the fuck is?
3:14:51
They're like the opposite. Who's?
3:14:53
Driving this thing yeah yes, if you if you have that problem
3:14:56
too, buy some of these work spell spacers.
3:14:59
They go from 10 millimetre 15202535 around there.
3:15:05
And I think you can stack them. I don't know why you wouldn't be
3:15:08
able to. OK, cool.
3:15:09
And it comes they come with extended screws to install it
3:15:13
so. Yeah.
3:15:15
So that's awesome. Yeah, we got those in stock.
3:15:18
We're trying to stock a lot of work spell stuff and just have
3:15:20
it here because last time, what was it, Black Friday?
3:15:23
People just bought all of it. Yeah.
3:15:25
It was sold out, so yeah, so we're doing vapor honing, we're
3:15:31
about to be doing car storage, the room's almost done, and now
3:15:34
I got to fucking do the floor, unfortunately.
3:15:37
We'll see how that goes. Also to help with the sales with
3:15:43
the website, if you spend over $350.00 you will get free
3:15:47
shipping automatically. This does not apply to any arrow
3:15:50
orders though, because those boxes are big.
3:15:52
Big as hell. Big as hell.
3:15:54
Big as hell yeah. So not applicable for arrow
3:15:58
orders, but everything else free shipping over 350.
3:16:01
Dollars. But what if I want arrow?
3:16:04
Pay up, pay for that ship. Fair enough.
3:16:07

3:16:08

3:16:22
I mean, some people do it, but that's whatever.
3:16:24
I'm not going to read it either way.
3:16:25

3:16:27

3:16:43

3:17:01
we'll throw them up on the Patreon first.
3:17:03
You got discount codes and codes on the Patreon for damn
3:17:07
discounted merch for every month?
3:17:09
Damn. You know what we should do on
3:17:11
the Patreon? What should we do?
3:17:12
We should give a monthly coupon code for something specific.
3:17:17
You know how we run sales every month?
3:17:18
Yeah, Patreon only sales. Yeah, give them another one.
3:17:22
Another one. Literally just give them a bunch
3:17:24
of sales. Go ahead.
3:17:26
Also, if you if you're fans of Johnny Minaco, you've seen them
3:17:29
on the podcast a bunch, you should probably join the Patreon
3:17:31
