0:00
For those of you who don't know, Logan is 12 right?
0:02
I was saving up to buy a tractor.
0:04
A tractor. A tractor I used to play this
0:06
game called Farming Simulator. After we went to the FD event.
0:09
I'm like wait, I want to do this.
0:10
I'm not buying this tractor. One time I was working as a
0:13
doorman, couldn't afford a proper helmet.
0:15
I got some like dirt bike helmet.
0:16
I got one of these Dymo label makers at work.
0:19
I printed out snail and I cut it with those snails, slapped it on
0:22
the back. Sorry, Hector.
0:24
I did motor swaps, transmission swaps, wiring harnesses.
0:29
I did welding like. This is the sickest camp ever.
0:32
What is it? What?
0:34
Camp Long Lake. Long Lake Camp Adventures.
0:37
Hello, everybody. Welcome back to another episode
0:39
of the After Hours podcast. On today's episode, we have a
0:43
good friend of mine from God. I don't know, 15 years ago?
0:47
That sounds crazy to say, but yeah, I guess that's 15 years
0:50
ago. Anthony and his son, Logan
0:53
Fallon. I met Anthony at Club Loose 15
0:57
years ago around that time, probably like the peak of Club
1:01
Loose right when I was getting into drifting as well.
1:05
So many good memories from that time.
1:06
We, we talk about, we cover a lot of that stuff, but we also
1:09
talk a lot about his son Logan's new endeavor in the motorsport
1:15
world and drifting. He's they have their own
1:19
website, Fox Fallon Motorsports and they are building a Fox body
1:23
right now. He's only 12 years old and he is
1:27
already a wealth of knowledge on the cars that he's interested in
1:31
and drifting as a whole. So definitely going to be a fun
1:34
and interesting ride following him.

4:15
this intro out of the way here, but welcome everybody to the
4:17
Fashion After Hours podcast. We're going to bring you another
4:19
episode tonight. We have two guests that we just
4:22
met and. You just met.
4:24
Well, I just met, but we have Anthony and we have Logan from
4:28
Fox PAL and Motorsports everybody.
4:30
We got the live audience right here.
4:32
But thanks for coming on. You guys are our father son duo
4:38
in Motorsports. Yeah, and both in life and
4:40
Motorsports. And yeah, it's definitely a
4:44
genetic trait, very much a very strong genetic trait.
4:47
You don't think it's a learned thing, you think it's.
4:49
Nature and nurture, you don't know.
4:51
But like, I'm like, I didn't think he he could be more,
4:54
someone could be more obsessed with cars than my own offspring.
4:57
During the years you know. He knew when you guys pulled up.
5:01
First of all, they drove a Ford Galaxy here.
5:03
I don't know if you posted it on your story.
5:04
Did you do any of that? I didn't yet, but I should.
5:05
You're the worst with social media, but they pull up in.
5:09
A 10,000 square foot shop, No big deal.
5:12
He wears a lot of hats. Yeah.
5:14
But we still bother him for it. They pull.
5:16
Up it later when I can tag him dude.
5:18
Logan gets out, opens the hood right away.
5:20
I didn't even had to ask. I was like, dude, nice, thanks.
5:23
Then we went on the shop tour and now that did that.
5:28
Being around your dad, does that make you want to drift or what
5:31
made you want to get into drifting?
5:32
Because isn't you're building a for fox body?
5:35
Fox Body, Yeah. I think originally I always went
5:40
to the track but I think I was too young to realize that and it
5:44
wasn't till like I think we went to an FD event E town like 2024.
5:49
I was saving up to buy a tractor A.
5:52
Tractor. A tractor I used to buy you
5:54
guys. Just said you live in the city.
5:55
Yeah, but we have a house in Pennsylvania and I used to play
5:59
this game called Farming Simulator and I really want to
6:02
buy a tractor after it is a Ford AN.
6:05
And then I realized after we went to the FD event, I'm like,
6:08
wait, I want to do this. I'm not buying the tractor.
6:10
We need to dive into this. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
6:13
what So. Anthony, you, you know about
6:16
tractors at all? Wait fuck, like I'm from Ireland
6:18
but like we see them go by like when they'll go to a vehicle in
6:22
Ireland is when you're 14. You got a tractors like driving
6:25
license. That's the quickest thing.
6:27
So OK, I was telling you about the genetics that's wrong with
6:29
this. Yeah.
6:32
Because you you pull up the name of the tractor you wanted to,
6:34
which is pretty. Crazy.
6:35
Yeah, I was on Marketplace for days.
6:38
What were you, what was the goal with the tractor after you
6:41
bought it? What were you going to do with
6:43
it? You know, that's a good
6:45
question. I I kind of just wanted to get a
6:47
mower attachment to it and just mow lawns and be that guy on
6:51
Sunday. Let's.
6:52
Talk about PT OS and I want to get a little more and we got
6:55
like Rocky Land and the Poconos. I don't know what you're going
6:58
to do with that. Probably thought he's going to
7:00
do chores. Is as A and for those of you who
7:05
don't know, Logan is 12, right? And you had set a financial goal
7:10
and made a larger goal after that.
7:14
So you're you're a grown man. So like we went, we went to
7:21
like, I was originally just saving up, just saving up
7:23
because I saw the movie Gran Turismo and I really wanted to
7:26
SIM. So I was really saving up for
7:28
that. And then dad showed me a photo
7:30
of a four day dental marketplace for 500 bucks.
7:32
I'm like, oh, I can read, I can rebuild that.
7:35
It was the rustiest thing ever. Tetanus everywhere.
7:38
And after that we went to DFD event and that's where
7:43
everything really sparked and. But but he was he was at club
7:47
loose events too. Right.
7:48
Oh yeah, From inspection, yeah. Because I remember you, you, you
7:51
would come to events with your dad and you would just make fun
7:53
of me the whole time. How do you 2 know?
7:56
He's a ball Buster. Did you drift as well?
7:58
I think I met Frankie and Justin Hoisteman's garage.
8:02
Oh, really? Yeah, we had a party there one
8:04
night. No, about 17 years ago.
8:08
This is how you 2 meet. I mean, maybe so curious.
8:10
Not it was at Club Lewis, but yeah.
8:12
Marlo days and all that stuff, yeah.
8:14
You 2 are so different. I'm like, how did this happen?
8:18
Yeah, do club Lewis it brought. A lot of people together.
8:20
Club Lewis brought a lot of different people together, man.
8:23
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Back then, it was like it was
8:26
kind of crazy. Remember Matt Graham?
8:28
Yeah, Matt Graham. We talked to him every.
8:30
Day. Yeah, he talks to us for an hour
8:31
every day. He texted the other day he's
8:36
like, oh, is Logan out? He calls me Lothar because he
8:39
wrote a whole entire story about me.
8:41
I believe it's called loath. I'm Lothar in the story.
8:44
And he's like, is Lothar out of school yet?
8:46
Because he wants to call us and send us photos of his build and
8:49
he's got skeletons all over his two. 40s I saw some of it yeah.
8:52
And he's. Like when is it gonna be done?
8:56
Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah?
8:57
When is it gonna be done, Frank? Good question, Carl.
8:59
Yeah, moving on. Yeah.
9:02
When you wait, when you met him, did he have the was?
9:04
It was at Club Blue so you were drifting that already.
9:07
Well, actually we were talking about before.
9:10
He's like, I went to drift zombies once.
9:12
Were you there? Yeah, I was there, man.
9:14
OK. In Queens, That event in Queens,
9:16
yeah. Flushing.
9:16
Yeah. Yeah, it was.
9:17
Crazy. We'd go there and go drifting.
9:20
Oh yeah, The cops that pull us over, they're like, we're giving
9:23
you a ticket for being in the park after dark, $35 is great.
9:26
And then, and we'd go to McDonald's, we'd fuck off to
9:29
McDonald's, and we'd be back 10 minutes later drifting again.
9:31
Oh. My God, this.
9:32
Is literally the story that Frankie tells and you seem to
9:35
have somebody. Who else?
9:37
And he lived there, yeah. Right.
9:40
But the residents of Regal Park, like, there's like a little body
9:42
of water and they would call and they hear all the craziest kids
9:45
and then call the cops on us. And then it was great.
9:47
We'd go back. Yeah, 10 minutes later.
9:49
It was fantastic. Those events before they had
9:50
Ballards and stuff. Yeah, those events were, I'm
9:53
calling them events, which is crazy, but those events were
9:56
crazy because it's like you go to Club Blues, but then you go
9:59
to this thing and this thing is closed and we're like, oh, we're
10:00
not going to see anyone we know. And then you guys are there and
10:02
it's like it's literally a Club Blues.
10:05
Yeah, Front St. Drift guys were there.
10:06
Yeah, it was like in the middle of the night, just like in
10:09
Queens. And you're like, why is everyone
10:10
here? I remember one time we went
10:12
there, we saw Co workers from a Nissan dealership I worked at.
10:16
Dude barely spoke English. I was like how what, why are you
10:19
here right now? And he's like, oh, I heard
10:21
something was going on here. This is.
10:22
This is about a an unsanctioned drift event that went on kind of
10:26
par. Stories about this all the time
10:28
and I wish I was there. I feel like amongst your
10:32
friends, like currently, let's say you're in school, do you
10:34
talk about what do you guys talk about with cars?
10:36
Like do you have anybody to talk about with cars?
10:39
There's like one kid in my school.
10:42
There's a neighbor in Pennsylvania I talked to, but a
10:45
lot of the kids are into German cars, BMW, Mercedes, and I just
10:50
don't like that they. I agree.
10:52
So like like M threes and fours AC?
10:54
63 You know I'm not. About that is what kids like
10:58
nowadays, I guess I did not know that.
11:01
Yeah, well, it might have something to do with their with
11:03
their parents are driving too and stuff like that.
11:05
Like you, you got a good influence here, so you got.
11:08
Yeah, dude, I think. Anthony is the best influence.
11:12
You. Can or or the worst depending on
11:14
how you look at it. No, I mean, if I did show a
11:17
marketplace, that's not a very good influence.
11:18
Yeah, Marketplace is a bad dude Had a problem, Yeah.
11:22
I had to. You can look on there.
11:26
That's it. You don't have to buy everything
11:30
on there. Well.
11:31
You see the Ford Rangers on there?
11:32
What? The.
11:34
So you like Ford Rangers? Yeah, Ford.
11:36
Ranger. Tell them about the Ford Ranger
11:37
build you have in my. Okay so Ford Ranger Dooley with
11:43
the F-350, the 1997-F-350 rear, it's supposed to go just bolt
11:48
right up, but you just need custom leaf springs and it could
11:51
tow like £10,000. Wow, but it's a but it's a
11:55
Ranger though. What did the frame?
11:57
I mean. Yeah, the best truck built in
11:58
America. My neighbor was selling one for
12:01
the longest time. It was just on his lawn.
12:04
I should have, should have it's. Gone now.
12:06
I don't know what the Bush is creeping on.
12:07
Yeah, I should have took a picture of it.
12:09
He would drive it to work every morning.
12:10
I don't know why, but I'd know what the starter sounds like of
12:13
that thing. 7:00 AM That kid, me and I would race or him and I
12:16
would race to like I'm like packing out of my driveway and
12:20
he's already gone. The Ranger is like kind of the
12:23
smaller truck, Yeah, Ford, right?
12:25
Why not AF150 or something? Yeah.
12:28
I don't, you know, that's a good question.
12:29
But the thing about the Ranger is it's a Ranger, you know, it's
12:33
not a stranger, it's a Ford Ranger.
12:36
OK. Whoa, whoa, you got me.
12:41
There. What about the Maverick?
12:42
The Ford Maverick. Yeah.
12:44
We had one for. Trouble for talking about that?
12:47
OK, that's what we told. We told his car when we got his
12:49
fox body. Yeah, we towed it and it, yeah,
12:52
it just did not look good. Oh was it?
12:55
Is it loaded up? Super loaded?
12:57
I didn't even know people could tow with a Maverick.
12:59
We took the Maverick at like. From Europe, we tow cars with
13:03
cars. We took his car to a shop, but
13:06
we had the Maverick. We had our like, I don't know,
13:09
2000 LB trailer and the Galaxy on with like everything on it
13:14
and it was like 6000 lbs on a something that's supposed to
13:18
tour 4000 and. Yeah, that truck is so weird to
13:21
me. When I see it on the road I'm
13:22
like, why did they make this? They they make cool stuff.
13:26
Yeah. They make cool.
13:27
Stuff like you can put a family of five like in there pretty
13:30
comfortably. No.
13:32
Oh, this? With my sisters in the back is
13:35
torture. On a 2 hour drive, yeah.
13:38
Right there you have two sisters.
13:39
Yes. Oh man.
13:41
Yeah. Now I understand why you let
13:43
build a car. Wait, back to the Ireland thing
13:45
because they do tow cars with cars over.
13:48
There, oh, they tow ridiculous stuff.
13:50
Well, we don't really have pickup trucks in Ireland.
13:51
Everything's got like Jeeps. It's either Jeeps like some
13:54
Japanese, you know, Hilux. Hiluxes are pretty pretty big
13:58
for towing the. Ford Ranger Raptor that's.
14:00
Yeah, that's like the latest thing.
14:01
Well, that's the number one selling truck in Europe.
14:04
Can you bring a photo of that up man?
14:05
Philippines we got that was my first time seeing when I went
14:07
back home and they they saw a Ranger Raptor and I was like
14:10
this. It's I didn't know they made
14:12
that they. Had Ranger Raptors in Ireland
14:13
before they had them in America. Yeah, yeah, because Australia is
14:17
a massive market for Rangers. Yeah.
14:19
And the new ones are very fancy pants.
14:21
Wow. Yeah.
14:22
But there was there was like go like a 2020, Yeah, because it
14:26
was out. Like when I went to the
14:27
Philippines, I seen one. Oh yeah, it's.
14:29
Probably and it was a really nice and.
14:30
The Volkswagen, they copied the same frame.
14:32
Yeah, it literally looks like. That that's cool.
14:34
Yeah. I want to take that off a jump.
14:35
Jump that does like 3 1/2. It does like 7000 lbs I.
14:39
Feel like I need 10,000 minimum. Yeah, but why?
14:42
Because it just feels better. You're not doing anything.
14:46
Like even my truck like fully loaded.
14:49
It is. It is the American way.
14:51
Well, the Europeans they dog on the Americans for their big
14:53
trucks are like, well, my God, what are you doing?
14:55
Yeah, house with that. And like, yeah, because in our
14:57
we literally have a Jeep and we're like tone like a
14:59
Caterpillar 27 ton. Do you guys have the same amount
15:03
of like mountains and stuff though to climb?
15:05
Not so much Yeah, there's a lot of mountains on the coast, but
15:08
no, it's not like yeah to the like, not not like going around
15:10
in Colorado. I.
15:11
Was like PA going through PA. Yeah, dude, that's all I think
15:14
about. It's like 80 or or 287 or
15:17
something and you hit one of those.
15:19
Yeah, 'cause I see on YouTube there's some content creators
15:22
were like in Poland, they're night ride.
15:26
You should watch their videos. You would actually like their
15:27
videos but they tow with a CRV and and I looked up if there was
15:34
a if there was a different power plant.
15:36
It's a different power plant. No, it's the same CRV.
15:40
But the table gives it like an extra 200 I think.
15:43
That's what that's what it is. You love CRVS?
15:45
Right, dude, we rented that one. Yeah, that.
15:47
Was he loves? CRV Did that pop up in your
15:49
Instagram reel? The CRV carmies.
15:52
It was epic. Everyone sat their tables out.
15:54
And at first I think I saw one where the guy was like, I don't
15:59
know if anybody is going to show up.
16:00
And then people actually showed up as a CRV car meet.
16:02
That's crazy. I rented one with Frankie when
16:05
we went to California. He.
16:06
Didn't tell me what he was getting.
16:07
It was so sweet. And he pulls up in a CRV.
16:09
No, the thing was like mini. No, no, no.
16:11
I went to the airport to pick up Frankie Park, the car amongst
16:16
other cars. Yeah, yeah.
16:17
And I was like, yo, you should. Do you see the car yet?
16:21
Like is it? Do you see?
16:23
It like we're walking up to the car and I I point out like a BRZ
16:26
or something at 1st and I was like I was like here it.
16:29
Is and then. I like unlocked the.
16:31
CRV yeah, but that thing was clean, dude. 60,000 miles.
16:35
What year was it? It was 98.
16:38
Yeah, 98 was 60,000. Everything was still zinc coded.
16:41
It was so weird. Weirdest.
16:42
Engine Bay was. Weirdest rental car I've ever
16:44
had. Yeah, the best.
16:46
That was my first car until I got stolen and burned out.
16:48
No way would you have. It at a 1992 Honda Civic Ferrero
16:52
1.5 liter VTech 4 door. And somebody stole it.
16:56
Oh yes, it's the one night I didn't put the club lock on.
16:59
I so I used to live in this place called Sligo and there's
17:01
like a lot of beaches and mountains and I used to go to
17:03
their train kickboxing. I used to fight for the Irish
17:06
kickboxing team years ago. Yeah, a fighter, by the way.
17:08
Yeah. Yeah, former.
17:09
Yeah, but all my fighting is done, Frankie.
17:11
I don't know. There's a lot of interesting
17:13
stories that I don't know about him.
17:15
Yeah. And there's.
17:17
A lot. I knew, but I used to work in
17:19
Dublin during the week and I went to Dublin this one night.
17:21
I got there at 1:00 AM. The one night didn't put the
17:24
club lock on and yeah the next day I woke up the car gone.
17:28
I was like oh shit, imagine took like 1/2 an hour to get to the
17:31
Carter station, the police station and do the report and my
17:35
work were such fuckers. They wouldn't, they're like, it
17:38
took me 4 days to get off work to go to the junkyard.
17:41
My, my, my landlord who I lived with, he was coming out of the
17:44
housing estate and he recognized this burnt out car.
17:46
He's like, where'd you get that car from?
17:47
He's like, oh, that was taken from the, the local school.
17:50
So I went to the junkyard. I could only recognize it by the
17:52
wheels and the exhaust went. Oh my God, and.
17:54
I was like, you know, what's in your first car?
17:56
You put your $1200 stereo system in and it's like done, you know,
18:01
insurance, they wouldn't give me any money for it.
18:03
It was like, you know, increasing the premium by 400%.
18:05
Imagine. You caught the guy stealing it
18:07
when he was doing it in the act. He turns around, he sees him in
18:09
like prime shape. I'd be like fuck, just like.
18:14
Beating the Shadow. Oh God damn.
18:17
I have a lot of patience. Not that day.
18:19
Yeah, that would have been bad. That is the one.
18:23
I've never met anybody who has ever fought anything in their
18:26
life really like as a hobby aside from Alex.
18:29
Yeah, I don't know how far you took it, but I've seen photos of
18:31
you. Yeah, yeah, you've seen No, like
18:33
I've defeated world champions, won European champions once.
18:36
That's one the my biggest. That is the most nonchalant
18:39
sentence I've ever heard this. Is mine.
18:42
This is £100 ago and now I'm like national.
18:44
Barbecue more sturdy. You're like more powerful now.
18:48
It's all right here. In the solar plexus.
18:52
But one time I had my biggest accomplishment was six fights in
18:56
one day is in the Irish Open. We had like 40 like a lot of
19:00
countries involved and that was crazy. 17 and I went full base
19:05
mode that day. East Coast Drift School, which

20:11
Six fights? How long are the fights?
20:13
Oh, they're like 3-2 minute rounds.
20:16
Oh my God. When you're kickboxing, it's
20:17
like a kick takes four times amount of energy as a punch,
20:21
yeah. That is a long time.
20:24
Yeah, Yeah. And then multiply that by six in
20:26
a day, dude. You would, Frankie.
20:27
We would not fucking last. I don't know anything about
20:30
kickboxing. I'm gonna ask you a dumb
20:31
question. Yeah, you can kick and you can
20:34
hit, obviously. You can use your four weapons or
20:36
two feet or two, two hands. That's it.
20:38
All right. You can't like Mutai.
20:39
You can't throw on your olive boy or knee.
20:41
Wear like pads, cup, head guard. Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
20:44
That was a really good question. I was actually.
20:47
I actually never do. That for a second.
20:48
I was like, you can only kick like.
20:50
Oh Dang for a second you only kick like that would be
20:52
ridiculous. If it was, I would have a
20:54
problem with like not using my hands.
20:57
Well, cuz like when I hear about people kicking and fights and
21:00
stuff, I'm like, I feel like that's pretty tricky because I
21:03
mean, obviously I don't watch fighting, but I feel like
21:06
kicking someone could take a little bit longer than punching
21:09
someone it. Does, but you have a longer
21:10
reach with your feet than you do your arms.
21:12
Your your feet are longer than your hands, so if you put out
21:14
your foot in your fist, you have more distance on that.
21:17
In my mind, I'm just like, I feel like you could see someone
21:20
getting ready to kick before you'd see someone get ready to
21:22
punch you. Well, you don't want to
21:23
Telegraph your movement. That's when you fight.
21:25
You do want, you want to show that the quickest point is from
21:28
A to B. So just, you never wanna throw
21:30
out the hips too much, okay. And there's a lot of faking
21:32
going on, you know? Somebody is gonna come and fight
21:34
you after this. I don't think that you're gonna.
21:37
I don't think. I don't think so.
21:38
They're hearing all your moves. So I know one guy told me this.
21:42
You can't find Anthony. You're a lethal weapon now.
21:45
Damn. I'm not, yeah.
21:47
So I know. You're good.
21:48
You've got it. Like there was a time I stopped
21:50
going to bars 'cause there was always this little Napoleon guy
21:52
picking on me, and I'm gonna stop going to bars for a while
21:56
'cause I'm like, I can't be fighting anyone.
21:57
They knew who you were. Yeah, I knew this guy in Ireland
22:00
who was a doorman, A bouncer, and he was cornered by three
22:04
guys and he put them all to the ground.
22:06
One of the tooth, he one that he really messed up.
22:09
One guy's jaw, another guy's tooth fell out and he had to do
22:12
like time in prison because he was a lethal weapon.
22:16
Yeah, once you reached a. Certain level when when you was
22:18
in court. So you can't like just because
22:20
you're like, you are a good fighter, you should not be
22:22
fighting. Yeah, The whole art of fighting
22:24
is not to fight. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:26
That's what they say, yeah. Oh my.
22:29
Gosh, and when you've been in 230 fights, you just don't need
22:31
to fight anymore. And I feel like when you, when
22:33
you learn how to fight and know how to fight you, your
22:36
confidence is greater too. So in certain situations, yeah.
22:40
There's nothing to prove. Exactly.
22:41
Nothing to prove. Yeah, You're like, well, let's
22:43
try to avoid this. Yeah, Yeah.
22:44
And they just keep egging you on, you said. 230 fights, yeah.
22:47
So you could you in any situation you were.
22:51
You know what? You know what the correct A.
22:52
Little bit more insulated now so it'd be harder, but nice.
22:56
Bullet He could take all of us down right now.
22:58
I. Could still I could still kick
23:00
like a good few inches over my head.
23:02
But the but the but a but The thing is, is a kick though.
23:05
Like, yeah, there's a always, there'll just be like a video of
23:08
somebody in a street fight and and the guy knows how to fight
23:11
and he throws a kick if somebody kicks me, dude, Yeah, I'm.
23:15
I'm fucked. I don't I.
23:16
Don't know what to do, I'm a normal guy.
23:19
Like. I just got kicked by not.
23:21
Expecting a foot, not expecting the ground.
23:25
Like that is. That is insane.
23:27
Now, you didn't inherit any of this, right?
23:30
Not really. I mean, I I did MMA for a little
23:35
bit and then we moved, so I stopped.
23:38
Yeah, yeah, bring. It back into it.
23:40
It's a it would be cool like to just stay in shape and know and
23:43
I still. Hit him all the time.
23:45
Oh my God. Too much.
23:48
He Logan just broke his heel. He's getting over a hit.
23:49
He broke his heel playing basketball.
23:51
Oh really, Tore? A ligament.
23:53
So he was on like one of those scooters for a while.
23:54
Not fun. Oh, you gave him something with
23:56
wheels Danger. Oh yeah, it was.
23:58
I got in trouble in school for doing wheelies and going too
24:02
fast in the hallway. Yeah, we got like an e-mail
24:05
about. It but you you just had
24:07
somewhere to be. Yeah, this is the third because
24:10
we were talking earlier and apparently Logan was wearing the
24:14
smoke. And if you got them, sure got in
24:16
trouble at school, Dude, I wouldn't have got.
24:17
I don't know if I would have gotten in trouble in school for
24:20
that. Is that no a different era?
24:22
Wow. Yeah.
24:23
Like what? You're very sensitive about it.
24:26
Everybody is. Like sucks.
24:29
What? What was another?
24:30
I mean, I think at that, at that age, you might have, you might
24:33
have. I'm trying to think what I was
24:35
wearing like like. In high school, that's when
24:36
everything's. Yeah.
24:38
Yeah, no one's going to. Dude, you would wear like a
24:40
Coors Light T-shirt or like it was always a Modelo T?
24:44
Shirt but at like 10 years old like that's yeah that's kind of
24:47
crazy I guess I. Would never had a problem in
24:49
Ireland. We always wore uniforms at
24:50
Catholic schools. Well, you're in uniform right
24:52
now. We feel very underdressed.
24:54

25:52
moments where I'm like. Guys, get a glass.

26:33
That's this is the most important.
26:34
This is my favorite sticker. This is the original, the
26:36
original sticker. So all the other ones, you put
26:39
them wherever you want. And these are new ones that we
26:42
just had. They were just, they just came
26:44
out with them before. Let me open it up just so you
26:46
guys can see these things. But yeah, it's supposed to be
26:49
like tattoo style. My friend Carly actually made
26:52
these. Yeah, and she made them in like
26:54
one day. I was going to release them on
26:56
Friday the 13th. Perfect whiskey glasses, Yeah.
27:00
Right, the red cup. Hey, for the sponsors, we're
27:04
drinking. Bunch of tattoo style that's.
27:06
Cool. Wait, who made those?
27:07
Carly. Carly.
27:09
Cranjack, you remember Brando with R30 two that crashed that
27:13
time and her brother, Yeah. Yeah, I don't think I've ever
27:17
met that guy, but. That's sick.
27:19
That's awesome, I'm really happy you guys aren't using AI for
27:22
your logos. Not yet, but don't say never.
27:24
Whoa, no. Please hold on.
27:26
Please. The graphic designers alive.
27:28
No. Yeah, yeah.
27:28
I have a break. Graphic Designer.
27:30
I had a, I don't know if you know him.
27:32
I've only met him like one time when we were at final bout when
27:35
all the IS people like congregated.
27:37
It was so funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:39
But Dustin, Okie, Dustin on Instagram, he helps run
27:42
Riverside in Chattanooga or I don't know where it is,
27:47
Gatlinburg, somewhere, I don't know, in Tennessee.
27:49
He does graphic. Design.
27:50
Somebody uploaded his work into, like, ChatGPT and then, like,
27:56
had to modify it. But then it was just so
27:59
evidently his work. Yeah.
28:01
And then I was like, oh, I get this now.
28:03
And that would annoy me. Oh, yeah, it's bad.
28:05
Like I just, you just spent hours of your time making the
28:09
stuff that probably no one else can do and then somebody just
28:11
pumped it in the chat. GPT and there's no way to like,
28:14
there's no way to stop that from happening.
28:16
I don't know but. You have a case to use it.
28:18
The first T-shirt design we did that was all ChatGPT and that
28:23
looked really. Is it the one?
28:25
On your shirt? No, it's not this one.
28:26
It's not the. One guys from Texas did that
28:28
one. Yeah.
28:30
Who's that guy that used to dress back?
28:31
Nate Hamilton. Yeah, Nate Hamilton, his brand.
28:34
Yeah, he did a beautiful design on that.
28:35
Yeah, no, that one's awesome. Yeah, I like that design a lot.
28:38
Some of this whiskey and they me and Malcolm are gonna have a
28:40
couple of sips in this. Yeah, this is beautiful.
28:43
But yeah, no ChatGPT give the designers a life that is like
28:46
yeah, yeah. I didn't understand the the
28:49
gripe before because I was like oh, this makes everything easy.
28:52
It's it's. It'll shortcut this.
28:54
Yeah, it's easy for people that can't draw, but it's bad for
28:57
people that can. And then?
28:58
You see a farm get wiped out that's been in a family for
29:01
generations because a data center has got to get pumped in.
29:04
It's insane. Frank, you don't have to drink
29:06
that, you just pop it on yourself.
29:07
This is a beautiful bottle, Yeah.
29:09
It's nice. This is the color bottle.
29:11
Nice. It's just like.
29:12
I'm a whiskey person. I do not so.
29:13
I don't drink whiskey anymore just because.
29:15
What happens when you drink whiskey?
29:17
He gets I turned to party on. I just turned into a party on.
29:20
It's crazy. Yeah.
29:22
Remember, Remember club foul on the club list and all the
29:24
drinking we. Were in the back of the Toyota
29:27
Sienna one night when you drank too much whiskey and now it's a
29:30
very, very, very, very long night.
29:33
Alright, but we can. Leave that one out.
29:36
Sometimes a gift, maybe one of these might be a regift, but I
29:39
got 1. Of them more.
29:40
Yeah, yeah, sure. First time ever.
29:43
Yeah, dude. Dude smells nice.
29:45
The last time, show Anthony what you brought from Alabama.
29:50
Where the hell you went? I bought, I went to Tennessee
29:53
and I got moonshine. Let me smell this.
29:55
Look at that. It's like the American pungent.
29:58
This. Smells like E85 and cherries.
30:03
Dude, I smelled like hazards. Like, yeah, like medicine.
30:06
Straight up medicine I. Think Malcolm might need a
30:08
double shot if he's doing subtitles for me.
30:10
God bless him. You got to smell that this.
30:13
Is great. So the car I have at sight,
30:15
these use those cars as moonshine runners.
30:17
Oh, really? Yeah.
30:18
The galaxies. Yeah.
30:19
Oh wow. And that's how a lot of NASCAR,
30:21
like, became NASCAR. Yeah, yeah, I've heard about
30:23
that shine. Runners.
30:24
Tell me that doesn't smell like medicine.
30:25
That's. Lovely.
30:26
I told you, dude. Oh, dude, Anthony was.
30:30
You were probably a party animal.
30:32
Yeah. Oh my, not.
30:33
Anymore though, got three kids that I know about.
30:37
They've been scared. That I know about.
30:39
Dude, yeah, who? Who liked the dealer day?
30:41
Remember that one night that you brought Guinness to Mad Mike and
30:45
you woke up on the lawn that morning with Matt Graham?
30:47
Mad Mike like Red. Bull Mike.
30:48
Yeah, yeah. Mad Mike yeah, yeah.
30:50
He, he came to Columbus that one time.
30:52
Remember that 2010? Yeah, yeah.
30:53
And I don't know how I remember the year, but.
30:56
Yeah, yeah. I just, I remember that year.
30:57
That year was crazy. I was like, Mike, you want some
30:59
Guinness? He's like, yeah, I do.
31:01
And then he brought us back to his trailer and it shows all his
31:03
really creative drawings. Really genius.
31:06
Yeah, with creativity. He was one of my favorite
31:09
Drifters in the pro scene. That was my favorite driver.
31:13
Yeah. Matt Powers and him, those were
31:15
the 2 that I was like and they were both, I think Need for
31:17
Speed grabbed both of them at one point too, like when they
31:19
were sponsoring stuff and I was like, this is perfect.
31:21
Yeah, but even on this rig is like it had like these spikes,
31:24
like when it was driving. Yeah, he had this little slam
31:26
down F-350 or something. Yeah, I remember it.
31:29
I kind of remember it. Yeah, I remember seeing his car
31:32
at Racing Park and going this is nuts.
31:34
The bad bull, Yeah. Yeah, is that what was his
31:37
nickname? No, it was a license plate.
31:39
It's a bad bull. Yeah, he would name all of them
31:41
like. His son's a really good drifter,
31:43
too. Dude, it was an RX8 and it was
31:45
like a pro car, but it was, we've shown it before.
31:48
Yeah, I've seen. Videos of it that I like.
31:50
I think it's cool dude. I got into drifting late so 2010
31:54
and 20 up to 20, 16 or 17. I was not at club loose, but
32:00
that was apparently when it was fun as hell.
32:02
Well, 10:10 well, probably earlier than 10, but it's good.
32:05
I feel like up until like 1314, that's like up until then, that
32:10
was, yeah. Yeah, it's good, good bunch of
32:12
guys and it still, it still is, but it's just like great
32:14
memories. Yeah, see.
32:16
That thing is, that thing is fat.
32:18
Go to the top right. That thing was that, yeah, he
32:23
prioritized looks over. Functionally stripped that
32:26
incredibly, yeah. Those are the only drivers I
32:27
liked. Yeah, yeah.
32:30
I can't remember him winning too much but hey that was the
32:33
favorite. Bro that was.
32:34
Like a four rotor. When he came out, you were like,
32:36
yeah, this is gonna be the best lap of the day and.
32:38
Dennis. Yeah, for me it was, but for
32:41
everyone else, probably not because I just want to hear that
32:44
thing like that was the only. Thing, but he's yeah, he's such
32:47
a good person, like he was a. Little He's awesome.
32:49
We had a great night that night. Fungan Junior was there and
32:52
yeah, it was a good night in them.
32:54
Sneaky Pete's. Don't you feel like when it was
32:56
when? When FD was that wall and then
33:00
they would all drive up to club loose.
33:02
Don't you feel it was better back then for?
33:03
Some. Yeah.
33:04
Why? More better now everyone's in
33:05
the same spot and it's like it doesn't feel the same.
33:07
What do you mean like like when everyone had to?
33:10
Drive pro bro. Pro bro down.
33:12
You all have to drive. Back up to club loose.
33:13
For some reason that made it better.
33:15
I don't know why, Yeah. This is delicious.
33:18
That was what is now what FD going in Connecticut this year.
33:21
What's up with that? Yeah, I mean, we don't know too
33:22
much. I mean, we know why it happened.
33:25
Yeah. Basically something along the
33:27
lines of the town was going after E town again like usual,
33:30
and they couldn't make a commitment.
33:33
That's stupid in a certain amount of time.
33:35
Yeah. So they had to jump and then.
33:37
Obviously after they made the decision, it was like.
33:39
But that was. Kind of that was a post.
33:41
They were like, oh, it's all fine, we're having LZ and.
33:43
FD is very like you have to know by this point right?
33:46
And if you don't have an answer by that point, then and we got
33:49
to move on. So it's like the NAP families
33:50
auto's under pressure to like a. 100%.
33:52
Yeah, that town is just out firm, which sucks because that
33:55
that town, the only thing we know it for is that racetrack.
33:59
Yeah. And the wall and the Wawa on
34:01
Texas Rd. that corner. Yeah, I don't know why.
34:04
Limitless Auto Fab is a fabrication shop and retailer
34:07
located in Illinois. They produce bash bars and catch
34:09
cans for a bunch of popular models in the drifting
34:11
community. Limitless bash bars are honestly
34:13
the industry standard right now. Fabricated from 1 1/2 inch mild
34:17
steel tube, these bars cars are designed to take the impact of
34:20
light collisions in order to avoid or minimize damage to your
34:22
vehicle and must have for drift cars.
34:25
Their bars also come with jacking points and optional
34:27
license plate brackets, so everything you need is right
34:29
there from the start. Limitless Auto also sells catch
34:32
cans for a handful of specific models.
34:34
These cans are built in house and chassis specific.
34:37
We have used these cans in the shop with great results.
34:40
The guys over at Limitless are on social media so make sure to
34:42
check out their Instagram and give them a follow.
34:44
They post photos of all the drift cars using their products
34:47
from Front St. Drift Club to Animal Style.
34:49
If you are in the market for a bash bar or catch can, make sure
34:52
to check out their full product line up on our website

Ramsted MFG. They sell an easy to use wheel
35:00
fitment tool that is a massive game changer for any shop or
35:03
enthusiast looking for an easy way to check their wheel
35:05
fitment. With their user friendly tool
35:07
you can check diameter with an offset before you buy your
35:10
wheels. Gone are the days of ordering
35:12
wheels and hoping that your math was correct.
35:15
Just throw their tool on your wheel hub and dial in your specs
35:17
to see if your dream wheel clears your coilover and fenders
35:20
before committing to the purchase.
35:22
Not only can you check wheel fit in with their tool, you can use
35:24
it to check suspension clearance as well.
35:27
This is really great for Drifters who are always changing
35:29
wheel lock and adding angle to their setups.
35:31
Now you can see if those new suspension arms or tie rods will
35:34
clear your wheels at full lock before going out and destroying
35:37
your new wheels. Another feature is that you can
35:40
use two of these tools together to measure track width from the
35:43
wheel center line. About 20% of RAM sets customers
35:46
purchase 2 tools at once so they can measure track width for
35:49
various wheel and suspension setups.
35:51
I recommend this product to the everyday enthusiast and most
35:53
importantly shop owners that need a way to size wheels for
35:56
customers so that they know they are getting the right specs
35:59
before ordering a brand new set of wheels.
36:01
To get more info, head on over to ramsteadmfg.com and if you'd
36:04
like to purchase their Wheel Fitment Tool Pro, we are now
36:06
carrying them in store at Faction Motorsports and Faction
36:10
motorsports.com. Remember that me remember that
36:12
piece of land was for sale with the E towns?
36:14
Oh yeah, I go to Matt Petty. Is that good land?
36:16
Is it? He's like, oh, that shit land,
36:18
bro, don't go there. But I'm like, I nearly wanted
36:21
to, like, go there and buy it just to be like, keep eat
36:24
drifting on it. I'm so appreciative of the Nap
36:26
family. Yeah.
36:27
Because without them, yeah, we wouldn't have these recurring
36:30
dreams that we have there all the time and the memories.
36:32
Yeah. Like that we constantly make
36:34
there. Yeah, we would have none of
36:36
this. We could be back at the the
36:38
videos of like East Coast Bash 2021 like 20/20/16 it was.
36:45
Yeah, yeah, man. It's crazy.
36:47
That was a different time I feel like.
36:49
It's scary thinking about, I mean, shit could go away
36:52
tomorrow, so it's like you gotta just.
36:54
It ain't gonna go. You guys ever do the ready set
36:56
drift stuff? Ever mess with that?
36:58
I have, yeah. Carl, did you?
37:00
I've gone a lot, yeah. You've probably gone more than
37:03
me, but yeah, I. Failed tech When I first got
37:05
into drifting, I failed tech at Club Blues because Club Blues
37:07
has notoriously strict tech for good reason.
37:09
Yes but instead of fixing my car I was like what place can I pass
37:14
tech at? Which, yeah, which is what a lot
37:16
of a lot of a lot of. Kids, which is which is wrong.
37:19
You should not do that. I should have fixed my car,
37:21
which I didn't. Eventually, it was It was a
37:24
cracked windshield that had a big.
37:25
One, it's always a cracked windshield.
37:26
It's always a cracked windshield.
37:28
I found a glass guy that replaced that windshield for 140
37:31
bucks like after the fact. Better than my place in the
37:34
South Bronx, that's. Great, now I have a place in
37:37
Staten Island. Best place ever.
37:39
I think it's ABC auto Glass. Hit them up.
37:41
They're really, they're really cool people.
37:42
Well, Josh and all of them have a have a guy down there too.
37:45
This place, I don't know, it might have been Bobby, but yeah,
37:50
hey, don't go to him if it raises his prices because I'm
37:53
trying to good dude. Like came over the bridge and
37:55
everything right to my house. He's like hit me up if you ever
37:58
need anything else. And I was like.
38:00
OK, so you failed for glass? I failed for Glass and who was
38:05
it that failed me? It was Sweet Lou that failed me
38:08
and it was for the glass. It was I had a open face helmet.
38:12
I must have like not read the rule book I.
38:13
Mean back. Back of the day, that was.
38:15
Fine to get away with the open face, yeah.
38:17
But they weren't going to let me go if there wasn't like a lot of
38:20
other things that were fucked aside from the the open face
38:22
helmet. I didn't have a coolant
38:23
overflow. I didn't have something else, I
38:28
think seat belt related. Dudu was a shit car.
38:32
I should not have driven that car on the track anyway, so that
38:36
was a blessing. Went to ready set with a
38:38
different car, still with the same things that were broken.
38:42
So I just went to ready set anyway and then finally drifted
38:45
and I was alone. I didn't like I went there.
38:48
Chris couldn't come that day. He was the guy in the shop and
38:52
has the Sylvia in the back. He couldn't drift that day.
38:56
I think I was just like maybe knew some people that were going
39:00
and that was it. That was drifting.
39:02
There was no, I couldn't hit anybody up on Instagram.
39:05
I couldn't go. Maybe we could check the
39:07
Facebook group to see how many people were going.
39:09
Club Lucians, I started. That club Lucians did what?
39:11
Yeah, Wait, you started. I started that but then hater
39:15
Dan got all hater ish and I was like fuck this and I shut down
39:19
the group or like change the admin to someone else.
39:21
Oh, really? Yeah, but you're the club,
39:23
Lucian. Starter.
39:24
I started that. That's so fuck dude Anthony was
39:28
a. You were in.
39:28
It integral part of club yeah 1 moment he's.
39:31
Almost day one. Very close, yeah.
39:34
Yeah, come. Back come back, baby, come back.
39:37
Come back. Well, you're making, you're
39:38
building something right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:40
Which is crazy. That's ice cream gutter, right?
39:42
Strictly. Yeah, we're talking about the
39:44
Galaxy. We're talking about Logan's.
39:45
Car. Oh no, we're talking about
39:46
Logan's car. But let me tell you a quick
39:47
story about the helmet thing. One time I was working as a
39:50
doorman, couldn't afford a proper helmet.
39:51
I got some like dirt bike helmet and I got one of these Dymo
39:54
label makers at work. I printed out snail and I cut it
39:57
with a little snail. Just slapped it on the back.
40:00
Sorry, Hector. Oh.
40:01
My. God, that might got approved by
40:02
someone. It actually passed.
40:04
Oh hell yeah it passed. It was a perfect little fortune.
40:07
And maybe he's quoted with some clear coat, but I was.
40:10
Dude. It's either like Naco or yeah
40:13
got a Dymo label. On the back when that helmet.
40:15
Was. What were you driving back?
40:16
Then oh, it's 07 Mustang. Oh, that's the S197 you're
40:20
talking? Dude, he had that car you you
40:22
basically you basically bought a brand new and it.
40:24
Did I tried to get a a 240 but the bank wouldn't give me the
40:27
money for the loan. That's so funny.
40:29
They're like, we don't see this car being $6000 from 1989.
40:32
I'm like, put it to go to an Sr. red top and they're like, yeah,
40:35
2000. It's like a 12 thousand $15,000
40:38
car. So now this then there's like
40:40
either 350Z or Mustang and I'm like America, you know, and they
40:43
just got the Mustang and then we went drifting.
40:45
You were you were the von getting of Colus for.
40:48
Me cuz you were the von getting the colus.
40:50
No, cuz you, cuz you had you had the Mustang that he they were
40:54
running that Mustang for a minute.
40:55
They were. Doing it for a while, they
40:57
brought to China Japan, yeah, there.
40:59
Was only 500 horse but he made it work.
41:01
He won the world champs in there.
41:02
Yeah and you had it. I was like wow this is like this
41:04
is like a new cuz back then it was like I'm.
41:06
Trying to think that, yeah, that's like, what if somebody
41:08
pulled up with a with a dark horse?
41:10
Or like a new GRE 6. Like pulling up.
41:12
But yeah, Mustang 1. Yeah, but they still make the
41:14
Mustang, you know, it says. I'm trying to picture if a new,
41:17
new Mustang was in my grid. I'd be like.
41:19
I don't want. Every time I see new cars on
41:21
there, I'm like, this is crazy, man.
41:23
Like, I know you're paying this thing off and you're about to
41:25
just like. What is it though?
41:27
To me it is like. Shout out to Valley National
41:30
Bank for giving me the loan for that guy.
41:32
You know the problem? When you're an immigrant, no
41:34
credit is worse than bad credit. So it was the struggle to get a
41:39
cosigner and everything. You come over here.
41:41
Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Got out to OMA for the coach.
41:44
Yeah, my mom the. Heck yeah.
41:47
But you cage that car too, right?
41:48
Or no. Yeah, Jeff Marlow. $500 a
41:52
Walter. All right, find the cage.
41:54
The Marlow cage. Yeah.
41:57
Marlo's good. He's living the good life now in
41:58
Weston, PA. Yeah, I see that.
42:00
I see that. Motorcycles and everything.
42:02
Yeah, yeah, finally. Guys are all old now.
42:04
He's guys are settled out. He's.
42:05
APA guy, I can hear that. Yeah, yeah, that checks out.
42:08
So you're building a fox body, Yes.
42:11
Did. Were you inspired?
42:14
I know I asked you this earlier, but maybe for the for the
42:16
record, were you inspired by anybody to buy this Fox body
42:19
aside from the 197 Mustang? No, it sounded like a yes.
42:25
No, I did see Von's fox body. Yeah.
42:29
And. Chelsea's those two fox bodies,
42:31
you're really, Chelsea just said.
42:33
Is that a EcoBoost car? That's.
42:35
EcoBoost. What were you thinking for power
42:37
plant? Do you know yet?
42:38
I just wanted to get the car and then figure that out.
42:42
But so the story is, I bought the car for $900.
42:46
It was roller, it was roller, it was just body.
42:49
Framing. Yeah, saved them for like.
42:52
Three years I guess. Got his Instagram too if you
42:54
can. That's better literally than
42:57
some of my grown ass men friends.
42:59
Yeah, they're good. Good on.
43:01
You yeah, $900 And then it was roller, so there's no motor.
43:06
And we tried to go to, I'm not going to say the junkyard name,
43:09
but we tried to go to a junkyard.
43:11
They wouldn't let me in. And it wasn't until we got
43:14
there, we drove an hour and a half to the junkyard with my
43:16
sisters in the car to go try and find a motor and couldn't let me
43:23
in. I was so upset that day.
43:24
I wasn't old enough. Really, to go in the junkyard,
43:26
that's like, those are like pivotal memories.
43:29
I feel like when I was in the junk.
43:30
I've been to a junkyard with my dad, like, one time, yeah.
43:33
Insurance, OH. OK, dude, he bought this car for
43:37
900 bucks. It's three weeks.
43:38
We're going to we set three weeks to go get to the junkyard.
43:41
I take a day off work, he takes a day off school.
43:44
We go there we have the little luggage bag full of all the the
43:47
goodies. And.
43:49
Then we get there. Sorry, we don't do we don't.
43:52
We don't let kids in here. Like dad tried to bribe the
43:55
guys. Yeah, but this guy never cried
43:58
like he's born. He's an incry and but he was
44:00
like really upset today and I felt terrible.
44:02
So we turned the negative into +1 on Facebook Marketplace.
44:04
Found the motor 17 minutes from our house.
44:07
Instead of driving the out and 1/2 it was a it was a three O 2.
44:12
The three O 2's were never in the Ford Ranger and it was
44:15
pulled out of a Ford Ranger so it was an HO.
44:19
So it was probably an Explorer motor, so we got that for $500.
44:25
5. 100 bucks, yeah. And on the way home, you're
44:28
like, all right, now we got it. Now we have pretty much
44:31
everything we need. Now we just have to get the
44:32
Instagram. So I thought of a video idea.
44:36
We went home, we filmed the video, we posted it overnight,
44:40
got 1,000,000 views. And then over like the course of
44:43
the week, you like just blew up. It has like 12 million.
44:46
Which video is that on here? Keep going.
44:49
Down all the way the bottom. Yeah.
44:52
Yeah, it got 12 million views. Fire. 1.10 million Likes 80,000
44:56
Shares 4000 Comments but. Who's counting what?
44:59
Numbers, that is insane yeah, it's a very.
45:02
Organic thing like we didn't plan these.
45:04
Numbers are also higher than the factions.
45:06
Yeah, too. Way higher.
45:07
These are way higher. I keep going.
45:09
It's like very early. Listen, I think factions should
45:12
do a video on your toilet so clean.
45:15
We do have a nice bathroom for a shop.
45:19
Oh wait a minute, I've literally seen this video you.
45:23
Were one of them. One of the 12 million.
45:25
There it is, yeah. Oh, I do kind of start.
45:28
From the beginning. And then with the music, it's
45:29
it's like it's got to be a little intertwined, but
45:32
whatever. Yeah.
45:33
So like what makes a video like go crazy?
45:36
I don't know. People who can relate to it,
45:38
people get excited. Like I saw this and now I see
45:42
Logan when I saw this, like. I was. 10 All I could think
45:46
about is when I was your age, I couldn't even think about what I
45:49
wanted to have for lunch. Yeah.
45:51
And he knows the motor he needs. Way ahead and you're able to in
45:55
your brain without you knowing it right now you're you're
45:58
budgeting you're you're learning about finances and just
46:03
responsibility as a whole like. Bad financial decisions with
46:07
this. Yeah, but.
46:08
Yes and no, because the fact that you're learning this now,
46:12
yeah, is probably better. Oh.
46:14
Dude, you'll learn exactly what not to do soon.
46:17
Like, yeah, like it will. But thankfully you have auntie.
46:21
Your dad? Yeah.
46:22
But he's, yeah, we leave him out of the picture.
46:24
He's not the best with the fine Angel stuff either.
46:27
And so I made. Mistakes.
46:29
Yeah. No, no.
46:29
Drifter is but literally like. Yeah, no, it's great.
46:34
But he's self driven, man, you know?
46:35
PE asks people. As a nature, as a nurture, It's
46:37
all it's in him. He wants it like he's not.
46:39
I didn't beat it into him like he he just wants to do car
46:42
stuff. You know.
46:43
And he tinkers around like he's, he's dangerous in the garage,
46:47
you know? So you, you got his project in
46:49
PA, right And then, OK, yeah, because he couldn't fit in that
46:53
garage in New York. No, no, that's crazy.
46:55
So when you no actually it's in function Motorsports right now,
46:57
it's going to. Get.
46:58
Oh yeah, I saw that. Cage.
46:59
Yeah, yeah, perfect. Yeah, proper cage.
47:01
So that's one thing. Like he buys everything but we
47:04
function has helped us a lot with with that project.
47:07
So we just got to get him a seat, get him mocked up and good
47:09
to go. OK, we have all the mounts and
47:11
everything so. I think club loose is what like
47:14
14 is, no? 8 No, technically they got to
47:18
follow. They got to follow New Jersey
47:19
girls. Only drive at ready, set drift
47:21
and Evergreen. Oh yes, I remember Ready Set and
47:27
Evergreen was where I seen, of course, Reese.
47:29
Reese was Conklin. Yeah, he was drifting like early
47:35
and he was one of the first ones where we saw he was like a kid.
47:39
We're like. The actual age that you're
47:40
supposed to be 4. So no, it doesn't go by that.
47:42
It goes by height. You have to be taller than Danny
47:44
DeVito. You have to be.
47:45
Taller. Are you actually?
47:46
Is it actually? Yeah, you.
47:47
Have to be taller than Danny DeVito and you have to be 12
47:50
with a parent's signature and pass tech and you can.
47:53
You're up. Where's I'll go?
47:54
Whatever you're going over there, I'm down.
47:56
So you're just, are you literally just waiting to grow?
47:59
No, I'm at the height you're at the.
48:01
I just need to get my car done. Are you telling me Danny DeVito
48:04
is shorter than him? Oh yeah.
48:05
Yes, yeah, I see him in a restaurant once.
48:07
In a year, he's like. Four.
48:08
He's like 410. Oh dude, he nice things.
48:12
How tall is is Jen? Things can be worse.
48:14
I'm 55. No 490.
48:16
I have not stopped. I'm not.
48:18
I'm done growing dude and and that makes me feel good.
48:23
I didn't realize Danny DeVito was so short, dude.
48:25
I'm height I hope. Yes, you can drive, yeah.
48:27
You can literally drive and you sit.
48:29
I SIM are you? Excited to to try to get these
48:33
to to unite. Yeah, I'm excited to see how it
48:36
feels on the SIM and then critique, like be able to drive
48:41
in the car and critique that to the SIM.
48:43
You're going to pick it up in a day.
48:44
It's it's it's pretty hard to find a mod exactly for my car on
48:49
a set of gorilla so. You'll you'll find like you'll
48:54
find the car that you like or something I.
48:56
Found a notch but it's not a hatch and.
48:58
There's, I think I know the exact mod that you're.
48:59
It's like WDTS, yeah. Yep.
49:02
You don't know what we're. Talking about people can make
49:04
these. Yeah, go on fiber.com and yeah.
49:07
You could pay people, but I don't really feel like it so.
49:09
Someone, someone, someone's gonna.
49:10
Hear this and make this guy a car.
49:11
Come on. Yeah.
49:12
Box mount. Come on.
49:13
Yeah, that deserves. I don't know how long that of
49:16
course about, yeah, but. But at least I feel like I I
49:20
learned from simming too. So when you go right, you're
49:23
gonna just try all the stuff because I just know you are
49:26
gonna right away. And once you link those two,
49:30
you're a weapon. You're you're good.
49:32
Like it's it'll click so fast for you dude.
49:35
Yeah, I don't know if you've seen people that SIM and then go
49:38
to Drift. It's like totally different.
49:40
I mean, that guy Reese Conklin, right?
49:41
Reese. That's Butcher's name.
49:42
Reese Conklin. Yeah.
49:43
Conklin. Conklin, he is a SIM beast.
49:47
I mean, we made our SIM out of two by forest, but yeah.
49:49
It's that's fine. Mine is not made out of two by
49:52
fours, and it probably should be.
49:54
Yours also has got a. Schedulet mine is so bad.
49:56
Frankie and Josh played with it when they're where in my house
49:58
and like it was just, I already knew it was kind of not great
50:02
and like it was just dropping. Around.
50:03
Mine. Has screws sticking out of the
50:05
every time kids come over there like oh can I try you?
50:08
Gotta be careful. No, No, no, no, no.
50:10
Like. Yeah, you're used to that.
50:12
I used to, like, restore pedal cars for Logan.
50:14
And these things were not for, like, the fan of heart.
50:17
These things are made out of metal for like, like my car
50:19
outside. They're like, robust.
50:20
Yeah. And he was always around like
50:22
stuff like that, a little dangerous every now and again.
50:26
That is, that is going to be a crazy day for you when you get
50:31
that going. I can't wait.
50:33
I I can't wait for you. So what what?
50:35
What stage are you at now the car is getting caged.
50:37
So I need to see right now so I can get fitted for the cage and
50:41
then pretty much from there I'm going to sand and paint the
50:44
engine Bay and hopefully the engine and transmission could go
50:48
in. OK.
50:49
So the engine and transfer, they're like ready to go.
50:52
Yeah, more or less. Yeah, T53O2 engine we're working
50:55
on. Logan welded up a lot of patch
50:57
panels as well. He.
50:58
Welded. Yeah, yeah.
51:00
Oh, yeah. So I went to this camp over the
51:02
summer. Oh, Greg camp there's.
51:03
Oh, this is sad. Yeah, it's called.
51:06
Google like camps in the world that do cars and there's one in
51:09
upset. In upstate New York, it's 9
51:11
hours from New York and I went there over the summer and it was
51:16
crazy. What date?
51:18
What kind of what did you do? I did motor swaps, transmission
51:21
swaps, wiring harnesses. I did welding like.
51:25
This is the sickest. Camp ever What is the.
51:27
Longest. Camp Long Lake.
51:29
Long Lake Camp Adventures. Malcolm, please.
51:34
This this is sick. Yeah.
51:36
What? It's really good, and you know
51:38
what? It's good bang for your buck.
51:40
It teaches kids practicality and there's this lecture from a
51:44
local university that teaches them cars about differentials
51:46
and stuff like that. Like first period, we have 7
51:49
periods in the day. Every period's an hour.
51:51
First period we have a lesson about anything, so all the kids
51:55
will pick the what we want to learn about first period.
51:58
It's not just automotive though. It's a bunch of stuff, yeah.
52:01
Yeah, there's like a creative side, and then there's like more
52:04
a practical side. What the heck?
52:06
This is so. Cool.
52:07
Any anyone out there listening and wants to like have your kids
52:11
be sort of a cool stuff, This is where it's at and you get
52:14
practical Dune. Buggy that's there's a bunch of
52:17
bikes, there's a Mustang, there's an old Chevy 2.
52:21
Jeeps, we got to get your drift car up there this summer.
52:23
Yeah. Two free labor.
52:26
This is. What are the age?
52:27
What are the ages like? You have to be 8.
52:30
To go and then 16 is Max. Sorry. 8 to 16 Yeah, we're we're
52:35
too old. Frankie could come teach.
52:37
We just got to get 240 up there. Dude, that is.
52:41
Honestly, that's the T bucket we built that was like crazy.
52:47
He would fix a lot of ATVs and. Stuff.
52:48
Oh yeah, ATVs. Some kid rolled an ATV and
52:51
screwed the whole suspension. This is this is like the coolest
52:58
thing. Yeah, it is.
52:59
If I was a kid like I they do. Like blacksmiths as well they.
53:02
Do I went to camp as a kid and we learned how to play lacrosse?
53:06
Yeah. Yeah.
53:07
That's and like, I didn't even really want to use that.
53:10
I didn't even really want to play lacrosse.
53:11
We built soapbox cars every year.
53:13
That was fun. I built 2 soapbox cars.
53:15
Special effects makeup. That's cool, yeah.
53:17
Like this is cool stuff. Yeah, you could do gardening or
53:20
you want to do gardening blacksmiths.
53:22
And this is the closest one you could find pretty much.
53:24
Oh, this is the only one in the world.
53:26
Only one. It's so crazy, man.
53:27
Yeah. It's it's really good and
53:29
everyone has. Great government should be
53:30
funding things like this. Like instead of blowing up Iran.
53:33
I'm just thinking. About like, literally the times
53:36
when you were a kid and you're like, I don't really know if you
53:38
imagine you didn't know what to wrench on.
53:39
Yeah. And then they bring you here and
53:41
then you literally wrench. Not to mention there's so many
53:44
different activities. Oh yeah, I.
53:45
Mean we we do the ATV and that is so fun.
53:49
Oh, that's cool. Logan's just an automotive all.
53:50
Day. Oh yeah, I'm an automotive all
53:52
day. Mom doesn't know that, though.
53:53
Mom thinks I'm all around the place.
53:55
Yeah. You are all.
53:56
You did all this stuff. I'm really an automotive.
53:58
You you, you did all. Kind of this.
54:00
Once aside, what you do during the?
54:02
Day. Come on Logan, try cheerleading.
54:04
No. One day.
54:05
No. That might be a good thing to
54:07
get into I'm. Gonna kick you right now.
54:09
Good thing this table is Joe Rogan size.
54:12
This is this is the coolest. I've just baffled.
54:17
No, they're super cool there and everyone's lovely.
54:19
I mean, you know what it does. Great.
54:21
It's. Pretty.
54:22
It's not like unreasonable price for what you're getting.
54:25
Yeah, and it's incredible. Dude, I would want to ride a
54:28
horse. That's the one I would do.
54:30
Horseback riding and automotive and blacksmithing.
54:32
Yeah, blacksmithing is cool. Like I spend my whole time
54:35
automotive and ATVI didn't do a single other thing.
54:38
I think you're right, though, Frank, Frankly, this should the
54:40
government should get behind this stuff.
54:42
Yeah, right. Even Jim Farley said there's
54:44
5000 jobs that are overpaying over 100 grand and they cannot
54:47
fill them because people are not, you know, trained
54:49
automotively or practically. And everyone wants to be an
54:52
engineer but no one. Like we all know what AI this
54:56
is. Exactly, you know exactly.
54:58
This podcast is sponsored by AG One guys.
55:00
Spring is finally here. Snow is melting, flowers are
55:02
blooming, spring cleaning is in full effect, and the race tracks
55:05
are prepping for a busy 2026 season.
55:07
There's no better time than now to take control of your health.
55:10
One habit I'm recommending to everyone this season is AG1AG1
55:13
is the clinically backed daily health drink that combines A
55:16
multivitamin, pre and probiotics, superfoods, and
55:19
antioxidants into one deliciously simple scoop.
55:22
I've been taking AG1 for a few months now and notice
55:24
improvements almost instantly. My gut health has never been
55:27
better and it's the easiest part of my morning routine.
55:29
Just one scoop with eight to 12 ounces of cold water is all it
55:32
takes to keep you on the right path to improving your health.
55:34
It also replaces the need for a multivitamin, which helps keep
55:37
my morning routine super simple. Go to shop.drinkag1.com/faction
55:43
to receive a free AG1 Flavor Sampler, plus a bottle of
55:47
Vitamin D3 and K2 with your AG 1 Welcome Kit when you first
55:51
subscribe. Link is also available in the
55:53
show notes. So do some spring cleaning
55:54
you're on this season. Ditch your current supplement
55:57
regimen and stick to just one AG one.
56:00
We are super excited to be working with Wrecked Magazine.
56:03
Wrecked has been capturing the best moments in Drifting since
56:05
the mid 2000s. After a long hiatus, they have
56:08
recently been brought back from the dead with the best people in
56:11
the industry leading the charge. The first couple issues have
56:14
been nothing but amazing and after speaking with these guys I
56:17
can tell you it's only going to get better.
56:19
Now I won't lie, a print magazine being brought back to
56:21
life in 2026 is pretty risky move.
56:25
It's a dying industry with video content and social media
56:27
flooding the market. But nothing beats to the
56:29
nostalgic feeling of print. It's always been the best way to
56:32
get a glimpse into the automotive scene that you're
56:34
interested in. Automotive magazines were the
56:36
reason some of us even got into cars.
56:38
To this day I still have all my magazines from high school and
56:41
it's so cool to be able to go back to see how the culture was
56:44
during that specific time. And to have AUS based magazine
56:47
that's just focused on drifting is unreal.
56:49
They have tons of information in the first two issues that I've
56:51
been reading through. Everything from event coverage,
56:54
specific vehicle articles, driver profiles, shop tours,
56:58
much more. Even the ads are cool.
57:00
For more info or if you are looking to subscribe, head on
57:03
over to wreckmagazine.com They got a bunch of other cool stuff
57:06
on there as well. We are in the middle of trying
57:08
to get some of these to sell here at the shop, so hopefully
57:10
in the next few months we have them here to at least check out
57:13
or if you want to purchase them, we're going to be more jobs
57:16
like. I mean you must see it when you
57:17
interview for like factions stuff, right?
57:20
I mean quality of whatever. Well, we see it everyday when
57:23
customers just go in because they're younger.
57:25
Yeah. So we see everything we see.
57:27
Like, sometimes you'll get a kid that walks in and he's like,
57:31
very smart. Yeah.
57:32
Yeah. And you're like, whoa.
57:33
And you're kind of blown away. Most of the time.
57:35
You get kids that walk in and they are shot.
57:37
Yeah. Like like fried.
57:39
Yeah. They're just like.
57:41
They get upset with you? Hey Chris Fix did this in 5
57:44
minutes on YouTube. How come you can't?
57:45
Get Yeah, What kind of? No, no, we don't do any of that,
57:48
really, honestly. But we just get people who, I
57:52
don't know, Malcolm, you can you can chime in wherever you want.
57:54
Don't get it. Yeah, they just don't.
57:58
Malcolm loses his mind. He's like, why?
58:01
Why don't these kids know how to talk?
58:04
That's the one thing that Malcolm always says.
58:06
Yeah. Well, COVID messed up.
58:07
Well, he was like throwing COVID in.
58:10
School COVID, COVID was bad. So that start COVID started when
58:15
I was in first grade that like I very vivid of that.
58:19
But in during first grade, we, my mom, my sisters and my mom's
58:26
friend and her kids, we all went to Florida for like 6 months and
58:32
I was there through I was there like up until like halfway
58:38
through 2nd grade, I think. And it, it's not the same as the
58:46
learning now, but I think after COVID, everybody like their
58:51
whole personality is just social media and memes and all of that.
58:56
And nobody, I feel like nobody has a real personality now.
58:59
That's good, you got a lot of it, so just keep that going
59:03
'cause you know what else to happen during COVID.
59:05
Drifting got expensive during COVID, so it sucks that you
59:09
weren't born like you would. You would have loved it a little
59:13
while ago because I we're also. And the drift tax after the
59:17
Tokyo drift. And now it's Sun Kang.
59:19
Oh yeah, the sun. Kang movie is what is that right
59:22
now? I don't I don't know is it out?
59:24
No, it's not I. Don't think there's a release
59:25
date yet. There's still.
59:27
Cooking in the kitchen on that one.
59:28
Yeah, I don't know much about that.
59:30
I forgot what I was doing that day.
59:32
I think I was. I mean a lot of the problem is.
59:34
Drifting. A lot of the problem is the
59:36
phones, but I think more of the problem is the parenting.
59:40
Personally, I think and this is obviously a great like this is
59:44
this is the best case scenario. You, you did an amazing job with
59:46
him. So it might be too goodnight.
59:48
Because. He's he's.
59:51
You said 12 years old. Twelve.
59:53
Yeah, he's 12. He he can hold a conversation.
59:54
He's on a podcast right now, by the way.
59:56
That's. What I'm saying?
59:57
And, and he's totally fine. You bring one of these 20 year
1:00:00
olds we see or 23 year olds and they, they're broken.
1:00:04
And the second. Thing I've learned is that Logan
1:00:07
talked to some kids in the school and they don't know what
1:00:09
their parents do. Yeah, and maybe.
1:00:13
Maybe it's me or us, right? But that that seems very.
1:00:17
It's a simple thing to know. I mean, they pay for everything
1:00:20
and you don't even know what they do.
1:00:22
So and it's stuff like that where it's just.
1:00:25
It could be just working long hours like I'm trying to think
1:00:27
what the logic is behind. I'm trying to think of, I don't
1:00:29
know, I I feel like I it took me a while for me to ask what the
1:00:34
actual I. Feel kind of similar too.
1:00:35
But I think it's because my parents, maybe they weren't like
1:00:40
proud to share the that's what all I could think about.
1:00:43
Like, like you're, I'm not a doctor, I'm not an engineer.
1:00:45
I don't know what to tell myself.
1:00:47
The thing is it's very hard to make friends now.
1:00:50
Like, oh, it is, it is. It's very hard, especially for
1:00:53
me because I have totally different interests and I feel
1:00:56
like I'm not like I'm on social media, but it's not my whole
1:01:01
personality. Like, and I think kids just
1:01:06
don't care about cars. Like especially in the city,
1:01:10
like it's very hard to find somebody like that.
1:01:13
There's like one kid in every school, but they don't know
1:01:15
anything about cars. They just know Mercedes, BMW
1:01:19
and. That's it.
1:01:20
Yeah. Like not to your degree.
1:01:21
Yeah. It's weird being like that and
1:01:24
but it's awesome. You will grow up I.
1:01:26
Was going to say, I still think you're going to end up being one
1:01:28
of the coolest kids in your school.
1:01:30
Dance down. Once you get to around 16, yeah,
1:01:33
then it's things are going to change.
1:01:35
It's not even like you have to be.
1:01:36
It's not about being like the coolest kid in your school.
1:01:38
But it's just going to happen. It is just going to happen
1:01:40
because what ends up happening is all of those people sometimes
1:01:46
will just be worried about the wrong thing their entire lives.
1:01:49
And as long as you are following cars, if cars is what you want
1:01:52
to do or if you want to get into gymnastics when you go to
1:01:55
whatever. I have to leave now.
1:01:57
Thank you everybody. Have a good night.
1:01:59
But like, as long as you chase it and.
1:02:01
It's gone. I never stop.
1:02:03
You will. Just as soon as I caved into it
1:02:05
and I came here as an example that took years.
1:02:08
Like I came here when I was like 20.
1:02:10
Or oh, like before you. Really.
1:02:12
Do it right now and found, like, this group of friends that I
1:02:16
have now that I can call, like, my family sometimes.
1:02:18
Yeah. Is it just it happens when
1:02:21
you're just following all your stuff.
1:02:22
So just keep following all your stuff and then you'll have
1:02:25
pretty long friends for a while. Yeah.
1:02:28
Like, and and like countless memories too.
1:02:31
Like, I have a lot of dumb memories, dude.
1:02:34
Like with Chris, we were outside and Chris was like, we've been
1:02:37
friends for as long as you've been born or like, since before
1:02:41
you were born. And I was like, Jesus, yeah.
1:02:43
Like, that's like when our parents would talk about that
1:02:46
and they're like, oh, I knew you was just a baby.
1:02:48
Like what the fuck? Yeah, when were you born?
1:02:51
2013 Wow. Yeah. 20. 13.
1:02:55
Makes you feel old now, doesn't? It that's about the time I saw
1:02:58
less of you around that time, yeah, yeah.
1:03:02
That's. For a little bit and then he
1:03:04
came back, but he was here. I was like, oh.
1:03:07
Gotta keep the generation going. I gotta spend time and he's a
1:03:10
good investment. Yeah, of course.
1:03:11
Very good. Very good, Yeah.
1:03:12
Yeah, like what do? What do they do?
1:03:14
Like Roblox? Honestly they just play Roblox.
1:03:17
Video games like I, I, I was the same up until last year, two
1:03:24
years ago maybe and. I started.
1:03:26
Having realizations like it's kind of stupid and kids should
1:03:31
have other parts to their personality because when you try
1:03:35
and talk to them, that's all they talk about.
1:03:37
It's like, have you seen this? Have you seen that?
1:03:40
And it's, it's just it's kind of boring at this point.
1:03:44
You know, there's, there's just like nothing new to talk about.
1:03:47
Yeah. Well, the shocking thing about
1:03:49
the generation now is I. Don't know if you ever observed
1:03:52
this guys, but you go to like a party with a lot of kids.
1:03:55
There's no conversion to each other.
1:03:56
It's kind of like, I guess what the land games used to be, but
1:03:59
everyone just on their own iPad, you know?
1:04:02
Yeah, even my friends were like my sister.
1:04:05
'S friends were over the other day and all they did was like
1:04:08
text each other through their iPads and stuff, but they're in
1:04:10
the same room. Oh yeah, absolutely.
1:04:13
I used to. Go to that.
1:04:13
I used to play as an age of. Empires back in the day and none
1:04:16
of us would talk to each other for five hours, but we'd, like,
1:04:18
annihilate each other with our, yeah, Roman troops.
1:04:21
Yeah. But that was only one part.
1:04:22
That was Land City. Yeah, yeah, I know.
1:04:25
You guys brought your own TV? We did that.
1:04:28
We did that with Halo, Yeah. Halo, yeah.
1:04:31
But it was. But it was still.
1:04:33
It was. You were still together?
1:04:34
No. Yeah, we.
1:04:34
Were I mean that phone thing is crazy.
1:04:37
I'm trying to relate it because just because you.
1:04:41
Remember when you were a kid and you would think.
1:04:42
Like, oh, the adults. Are just being old.
1:04:44
We're being old right now. Is that?
1:04:46
No, no, no, no. This is not old.
1:04:48
Oh, it is. You don't think so?
1:04:49
No. OK, I'm trying to be no.
1:04:51
You guys are normal. I'm trying to be hip.
1:04:53
I'm trying to. Figure it out and give that a
1:04:55
chance. And not be the same.
1:04:56
Like, I feel like a lot of the adults I grew up around were so
1:05:00
quick to shut off something you wanted to do or something that
1:05:04
was different. Yeah.
1:05:05
So I'm trying not to do that, but I just can't see the appeal
1:05:09
in text thing. I mean, Anthony, I mean, you see
1:05:10
it first hand, so you see. Your daughters playing with
1:05:13
these phones or whatever, I've got to be in private servers,
1:05:16
OK, Which they're not. We try, we try.
1:05:21
Yeah, but because. The creeps are on.
1:05:22
Like the non private? Servers right, Logan?
1:05:24
What do you know about that? I don't know much about that is
1:05:27
I don't play video is. The only video game.
1:05:30
It's a proper problem I do. Really play as a.
1:05:32
Seto, that's it. Yeah, there's no way you can
1:05:35
even we try to control it. But then they're not part of the
1:05:38
clique, right? They're not part of the groups.
1:05:39
That are on those things, yeah, there's a cool thing.
1:05:42
Roblox updates are so bad, like with the settings.
1:05:45
Like what is Roblox I what is that?
1:05:47
So pretty much I I just introduced stock bro.
1:05:51
No. I just.
1:05:54
Learned what? Minecraft is, yeah.
1:05:57
And I really don't know what Minecraft is that's been around
1:05:59
for a while. I know I.
1:06:01
Don't. I don't play video games.
1:06:02
I don't play video games. I don't play video.
1:06:03
Games I just play a set of course.
1:06:05
And. That's it, Yeah.
1:06:06
And then my Malcolm knows all of them.
1:06:08
Yep, Yep. He knows all of them.
1:06:10
I like just played it. And now?
1:06:12
I use it as like oh. I'm bored.
1:06:14
Let me build my house in Minecraft.
1:06:16
Yeah. Is that what Roblox is?
1:06:17
No. No.
1:06:19
So pretty much. Roblox is you just, Roblox has
1:06:23
like a billion different games in one.
1:06:26
So you're able to customize your character to whatever you want
1:06:29
and you can go to thousands of different games.
1:06:32
So there's anywhere from racing, makeup, there's all sorts of
1:06:38
it's a world, yeah, it's a world in a game.
1:06:41
So yeah, I could see how that could be a problem.
1:06:45
You could see how that could be a problem.
1:06:46
You could see your. Car in it one time.
1:06:48
Yeah. Oh yeah, I see.
1:06:50
James Car I. See Roblox.
1:06:53
Oh yeah, drifting games. Those are the only.
1:06:55
Good games I'm. Not biased or anything, but you
1:06:59
see everybody Ryan Turks Hora Manoa every every year for an FD
1:07:04
you'll see their car. Can you type in Roblox if you're
1:07:06
feeling on show us I want I want to know what this.
1:07:08
Looks like yeah, this is interesting.
1:07:11
Someone's gonna do your Fox Valon car in.
1:07:12
Roblox now. Oh, that, that.
1:07:13
'D be cool that. 'D be cool.
1:07:15
I mean, the Internet is good. For some things like that, they
1:07:17
shouldn't. Do that because then I would
1:07:19
actually start playing so. Oh yeah, I want.
1:07:21
I wanted to ask what's the fox part for?
1:07:24
Fox. It was a fox body muscle.
1:07:26
OK, All right. That's the only That's right.
1:07:27
This is. Roblox this is not.
1:07:29
What I thought this was? I thought it looked like
1:07:32
Minecraft. That's what I thought too
1:07:33
actually. No.
1:07:35
No. This is interesting, yeah.
1:07:37
I'm so it looks very child friendly.
1:07:39
But it's not I. Was going to say Roblox seems.
1:07:41
To be. The child version of Grand Theft
1:07:42
Auto. Why is it not child friendly?
1:07:45
No, because this is only the drifting.
1:07:46
Games, there's a lot of. Other what kind of stuff?
1:07:49
Yeah, it's all about the emoji, right?
1:07:51
You're. You're.
1:07:53
Your parents and stuff. I did.
1:07:56
I have heard. About some weird stuff going on
1:07:58
I. Mean all these kids are.
1:08:00
Just sort of escaping. Reality but barely anybody plays
1:08:02
these games like you'll look at the amount of.
1:08:04
People who play and it's not a lot.
1:08:06
This is sick and you can customize to beyond.
1:08:09
Your heart's content. Oh yeah.
1:08:10
Oh yeah. That would that would get me,
1:08:12
dude. But it's not.
1:08:12
Can you just type in Rob Roblox like?
1:08:15
I don't know, you can make a fake account.
1:08:19
We're not. Right now we are not.
1:08:21
Getting on Roblox, right? Now, OK, so.
1:08:24
Yeah, you just make a character and.
1:08:25
Then is it like a world you walk around in?
1:08:27
Yeah. So pretty much you go on and you
1:08:30
pick any game. That you want to play and you
1:08:32
could leave, rejoin and there's multiple so each game is.
1:08:36
Like a different world. Kind of, yeah, you.
1:08:39
Could you could create your own world if you have the Roblox
1:08:42
studio? And stuff.
1:08:42
Kind of like I don't even remember the name.
1:08:46
What was it, Oblivion Sims. It's kind of like Sims.
1:08:49
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of immediately.
1:08:51
That's almost looks kind of like Sims right there.
1:08:53
Sims. Was fun, I'll give you that.
1:08:55
You look like a SIM you I feel. Like you played The Sims?
1:08:57
I played The Sims. I did not.
1:08:58
Play The Sims, it looked cool I you.
1:09:00
Know I played. I played Roller Coaster Tycoon.
1:09:03
That was the one that is a good game, Yeah.
1:09:05
And City Tycoon that one was. A good one.
1:09:07
They have all that in here, really, those games.
1:09:11
Are pretty educational. Honestly the roller coaster
1:09:13
tycoon and the city one that you learn a decent amount of stuff.
1:09:16
Are you the type of guy that used to delete the apex?
1:09:19
Just as the people who go off the road.
1:09:20
Yes, I have done that, Yeah. Yeah.
1:09:23
How could you tell? Dude, I played Oregon.
1:09:26
Trail dude. Oregon Trail, that was.
1:09:28
My shoe. Do you remember that, Anthony?
1:09:30
Or no not. Really.
1:09:31
But I know. I could tell how.
1:09:32
You would do that because. Your shop here is so pristine.
1:09:35
Well, yeah. Thank you.
1:09:36
Everything is perfect. Do you do?
1:09:38
Tours here No. Should I?
1:09:40
Should You would make a lot of. Money.
1:09:42
We do tours like when? People come in and.
1:09:45
Like if they they haven't been here in a while.
1:09:47
This is Tor worthy. We we call, we call Chris the
1:09:49
tour guide because. Chris likes they just show.
1:09:51
Everyone around you did use the defer to Chris for a little
1:09:54
while to give this to him. He.
1:09:55
Would grab them and do that and I'm like Chris you'd.
1:09:58
Probably be working on cars, but OK.
1:09:59
There was a time where Frankie was nervous to.
1:10:02
Talk. I'm still, I still am.
1:10:04
Bullshit, you're not. We're good now, all.
1:10:08
Right. And like, now, we could all give
1:10:11
a shot to her. It'd be fun.
1:10:12
Yeah. Yeah.
1:10:13
I mean, it's it's fun, I. Guess, but it takes it does take
1:10:17
somehow it takes him a lot of time now to for this whole.
1:10:19
I would do it. Yeah, it does.
1:10:20
Yeah, it's fun. Summer job, Logan.
1:10:22
Yeah. Done.
1:10:23
Done. Oh yeah, you don't.
1:10:24
Pay me under the table. Once once you can.
1:10:27
Start or just two. 4240. Rides once you can get on the.
1:10:30
On the train to come here by himself, then we're.
1:10:32
No. Ain't there a station right
1:10:34
there? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:10:35
We noticed that when we pulled up.
1:10:36
Yeah. There was.
1:10:37
It was already planning it. Out there was he was a pretty.
1:10:39
Young Day. Yeah, we had a.
1:10:41
He was here the. Other day, yeah, we had a we.
1:10:43
Had a what would you call that? An intern?
1:10:45
That was like a summer. We always call him an intern,
1:10:46
but yeah, did everything. He did all the normal.
1:10:49
Work. Yeah, one of our friends that
1:10:51
drifts. His cousin?
1:10:52
Funny. Enough, this kid Dave, he used
1:10:55
to ride his bike with his friends by the shop and they
1:10:58
would, they would like hang out and we would one time we took
1:11:01
them in I think Josh's car and we, we were like whoever can do
1:11:04
the longest wheelie down the street, we'll take you for a
1:11:06
ride in a drove car. And like one of them did it.
1:11:08
I don't think it was Dave, but we took him for a ride, did like
1:11:11
Donuts and came back anyway, Dave ended up coming back here
1:11:15
looking for a job when he was like 15 years old. 16, something
1:11:18
like that. That's a new legal age.
1:11:19
Yeah, 1516, something like that. And then?
1:11:22
Yeah, he hung out. He was actually, he was really
1:11:24
smart. I was going to say he was an
1:11:26
amazing tech. Yeah.
1:11:27
And then he. Decided he wants to be a
1:11:29
professional hockey. Player so now he's going down
1:11:31
that road. There you go.
1:11:33
Unfortunately, because he acts Motorsports, he sort of started
1:11:36
that off. I guess he realized.
1:11:37
He didn't want to do this for a living.
1:11:38
He builds his confidence. Yeah.
1:11:39
Well, I will say if you want to, if you want to.
1:11:41
Have a good job. You got to have a I'm not saying
1:11:43
this is a shit job, but you got to have a shit job to appreciate
1:11:46
a good job. Yeah, you really do.
1:11:48
Yeah. Like, I remember cleaning
1:11:50
buckets of plaster for a mansion in Cold Springs one time, and
1:11:53
that was like, hell, probably lost £100 that summer, lifted up
1:11:56
buckets. But then any other job with
1:11:58
that, you, you get appreciation and you're just going to work
1:12:01
better in that environment. Yeah.
1:12:03
And like, when I interview people these days, I'm a
1:12:05
building manager, right in New York City.
1:12:06
Like a luxury building manager. I'm always looking for
1:12:09
character, you know, hard work. No tattoos.
1:12:12
Well, neck tattoos are cool. You just got to cover them up.
1:12:16
But like I hide my arms real. Quick, I'm like, yeah, no.
1:12:19
No, Ted. Well in my industry there people
1:12:22
are very judge mental. You know, in the customer
1:12:24
service industry, there's nothing wrong with tattoos.
1:12:26
The policy usually is just got to cover up when you're working.
1:12:29
But, you know, going back to like finding good people.
1:12:33
Frankie, I know you probably struggle with that in today's
1:12:35
climate, but it's it's you got to interview heavy.
1:12:38
I feel like. Yeah, it's weird.
1:12:41
I've been very, very, very. Very fortunate.
1:12:43
Yeah. Good.
1:12:45
Yeah. I don't know how else to say
1:12:47
that because that's how it feels.
1:12:48
Because I should be struggling like you're saying, but I'm not
1:12:53
because mainly Chris. Chris was the first one.
1:12:56
His his best friend. I remember when Chris came here,
1:12:59
it was such a nervous. That was the first time I was
1:13:02
hiring because me and Justin were doing this for a while and
1:13:04
then. Justin kind of took his own, did
1:13:06
his own thing. He went his own way.
1:13:08
So it was just me and it was COVID.
1:13:11
That was like when that happened.
1:13:12
So it was like the worst timing. Everything was terrible.
1:13:15
I was like, I mean, you're driving, you're driving down
1:13:18
here. No one's on the road.
1:13:18
It was it was crazy. I was like, OK, I guess this
1:13:22
might be the end of this. I don't know what's going to
1:13:23
happen. And then I hit up my buddy Chris
1:13:27
at the time. And because I knew he wanted to,
1:13:30
he wanted to work here and he worked at other shops.
1:13:32
Dude, it was like Chris was, He worked at tuning shops, he
1:13:35
worked at dealerships. He worked at a shop before.
1:13:37
This like currently. Like at that time, sorry, he was
1:13:41
working at Alex's. Do you remember Alex?
1:13:44
It was just a general maintenance shop where
1:13:47
occasionally something aftermarket will come in.
1:13:49
But I know that Chris was doing like he was capable of way more
1:13:55
extensive repairs, like the OCD matched what Frankie was looking
1:14:02
for. I feel like yeah.
1:14:03
And then and that was. When I was talking about
1:14:04
applying here and shit. And then we were like.
1:14:07
I don't know if he, he was like, I don't know if I'm going to get
1:14:09
it. And then we would be so funny
1:14:11
because like on the opposite end of that, like they're all
1:14:14
talking. About it, like it's crazy and
1:14:15
the opposite. And it's just me and my office,
1:14:17
like talking to Nico or something.
1:14:18
I'm like, can I afford to hire someone?
1:14:20
Like this is pretty crazy. And then it's like, all right,
1:14:23
let's talk to him. He came down one day.
1:14:24
We talked to him. We busted his balls a bit.
1:14:27
I was like, all right, cool. He had S chassis already.
1:14:30
Yeah. That was a key thing.
1:14:33
I was like. He, he was the perfect
1:14:35
candidate. He knew these cars.
1:14:38
He was a mechanic like he I didn't have to transform someone
1:14:42
who didn't work on cars into some.
1:14:44
He had everything. It was just me.
1:14:46
I was like, I don't know if I can afford to pay someone, but
1:14:48
he was working for shit money and I was like, OK, this might
1:14:51
work out where I can afford to pay him right now.
1:14:54
And then we can build together, you know, and, and that way.
1:14:58
Yeah. And I told him the whole thing.
1:14:59
I I'm like the most honest boss you can have told him the whole
1:15:02
situation. I'm like, look, look, it's
1:15:03
COVID. We don't know what's going on
1:15:04
right now. You might not want to quit your
1:15:07
job because. I don't know if.
1:15:08
We will be able to afford you. And he's like, he's like, I'm
1:15:12
going to quit it anyway. I'm like, OK, well then we're
1:15:15
doing this. We did it within that year.
1:15:19
It all worked out perfectly, all the cars.
1:15:21
Started coming. He was fixing everything
1:15:23
himself. They got to the point where he
1:15:24
was doing too much by himself. Then Chris had a friend,
1:15:29
Malcolm, who came in for an oil change.
1:15:32
And then I, Malcolm's in the office.
1:15:34
The waiting area was my office before, so it was just me at my
1:15:37
desk and then two chairs. And so whoever was there, we
1:15:40
would just be talking. And I'm talking to Malcolm and
1:15:42
I'm like, this guy's smart. Like, I'm like this guy's, he's
1:15:45
just, he's just a smart kid. I'll call him a kid, but he
1:15:49
wasn't really a kid. But I'm like, he's a smart kid.
1:15:51
He he knows what he's doing. He looked like a kid when
1:15:53
Malcolm first got here. Yeah.
1:15:55
And. And he's.
1:15:55
Right here. How?
1:15:56
How? How old?
1:15:58
How old are you? Are you 30?
1:15:58
Or 20. Nine yeah, so we're like 7 ages,
1:16:01
7 years apart or whatever. So I'm like daddy, he's like
1:16:04
talking to me about cryptocurrency.
1:16:05
I'm like, I don't know what any of this shit means I'm like,
1:16:07
this guy's smart so we're all talking about that.
1:16:10
And then I was like, we need a media guy.
1:16:12
We need someone to do YouTube, we need someone to film stuff
1:16:15
because I, that's all I that's how this happened was because of
1:16:18
Instagram and everything like that's all we that's all I
1:16:20
focused on and selling parts. So we get him.
1:16:24
Same. Thing I was like yo I.
1:16:26
Can't afford to pay, but it was COVID so he doesn't have a job
1:16:30
and he's on unemployment and I'm like, OK, well, I can match
1:16:34
that. Or, you know, you're on
1:16:36
unemployment and I'm going to pay you.
1:16:37
Maybe something on the side and it all just works out.
1:16:41
I get him. He's the most loyal employee.
1:16:43
They both are. And I was like, all right, I'm,
1:16:46
I'm just straight up with everyone.
1:16:47
I'm like, look, this is where we're at.
1:16:48
These are the finances. This is what's going on.
1:16:51
I want everyone here to make money.
1:16:52
Like I don't really care about myself as much.
1:16:54
I care about you guys. Then we got too much shop work.
1:16:58
Then we got to. Bring in another technician.
1:16:59
Same situation and a friend of a friend.
1:17:01
Do we hire him? Do we not?
1:17:02
I take 6 months, I take 9 months.
1:17:04
I finally make a decision. We get him here, another
1:17:07
extremely loyal employee, and that's how it works.
1:17:12
And we did try the, you know, hiring.
1:17:17
What do you call it, Malcolm, like the Joe Schmo?
1:17:20
Well, no, we did. Put out feelers on Instagram.
1:17:23
Before. We like give people an
1:17:25
opportunity to or like apply, recruit.
1:17:28
Or like those. Apps that you get, you know, to
1:17:30
hire people like Indeed and yeah, I tried one of those ones,
1:17:33
you know, but. That's good, because you can.
1:17:35
Filter people, but you don't know their character.
1:17:36
You don't visit to their. Friends, because you don't know
1:17:38
the there's no point of association from anyone else.
1:17:41
Exactly. So.
1:17:42
So let's get them up. Yeah, the one piece of advice I
1:17:45
haven't. Taken from things I've seen is.
1:17:47
Don't hire your friends. That's the one piece of advice I
1:17:50
I don't take and I don't know if I'm going to regret it one day,
1:17:53
but I I don't really care at this point because it's been
1:17:57
what 6 years? 6 solid years with these guys?
1:17:59
It's been 3 now, you know, with 06 with.
1:18:02
Chris with Chris and then 5 going on five with Malcolm.
1:18:06
Going on four with, four with. Dude, four with me.
1:18:10
Here yeah, that too. Yeah, 'cause that's the only.
1:18:12
Reason I'm here too we could talk about.
1:18:14
That too, Carl. Comes in friends with Chris,
1:18:16
Yeah. We should do a podcast.
1:18:18
I'm like, yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
1:18:19
For weeks I was coming in for random shit and he's.
1:18:23
Like he's like yo. This could this could be good
1:18:25
and I'm like. I'm like, I'm like, if it's
1:18:28
easy, we'll do it. Yeah.
1:18:30
So. They all, they you.
1:18:32
Guys figured out I really. Didn't figure it out.
1:18:34
Is it easy? This is This is a good.
1:18:36
This is a good. Example of.
1:18:37
Of. 10 no's. Might yield.
1:18:42
You a yes, someday because I went in.
1:18:45
There's times a negative is positive.
1:18:46
That's the time, that is. Actually in math, but I asked
1:18:50
Frankie. Week after week, I think I got
1:18:53
like an oil change or and then I got, I got.
1:18:57
Like a timing belt. Service I got.
1:19:00
Here's the one thing I have noticed with people that end up
1:19:02
working or. Doing stuff with me.
1:19:04
They harass you. They they, they lure me up a
1:19:06
little bit of. Money.
1:19:07
They they. Come in they get service done
1:19:09
like hey Zeus, remember he bought that hood Malcolm.
1:19:11
Yeah, he come in I need a hood and then we would talk you know
1:19:14
like they'd come here they'd yeah and then when they're here
1:19:16
I'm hearing them talk and they're giving me ideas and I'm
1:19:19
like OK, I was like I I can't just Frankie is going to get
1:19:22
pissed if. I hang out here, yeah, with no
1:19:24
reason Man cave here yeah so that if it's.
1:19:27
Easy to hang out here, but that's not what.
1:19:29
Frankie wants. I was like, I got to prove to
1:19:31
Frankie that I'm going to be here every week to do this
1:19:35
podcast, which we have. It's been like 3 years.
1:19:37
This is the part I was going to get to.
1:19:39
He, he had us. He was.
1:19:41
Like, all right, here's what we're going to do.
1:19:42
I was like. OK, if we could do it in this.
1:19:43
Office and I don't have to do anything crazy and we just stay
1:19:47
late. Whatever, it was easy.
1:19:50
Like what do we call it? Fucking call it after.
1:19:52
Hours I don't. Know like that's what.
1:19:53
That's what it's going to be. So many funny names they were
1:19:55
on. There was like, Frankie Time or
1:19:56
like. Meet the meet the bovine was one
1:19:59
OK like because it was last name is Ovino and I said.
1:20:02
Where we set up. I bought the shittiest.
1:20:04
Microphones. Oh my God, they were.
1:20:06
Because I'm was also. Like.
1:20:09
Working some sort of job where I, I don't have a lot of money.
1:20:12
I pay my own bills. I, I live on my own and like, I
1:20:15
was like, all right, microphones check.
1:20:18
Well, they all work. We don't know.
1:20:20
I was trying to figure out how to make them work.
1:20:22
We used like some, we used like some free software called
1:20:26
audacity. We used to use that way back
1:20:28
when to make fake wraps. I didn't even know we stopped
1:20:30
using it and then and then we recorded. 1 and I.
1:20:34
Watch it sometimes and dude, it was so terrible.
1:20:38
I should go back and watch that like you just.
1:20:39
You start from somewhere and then now you have.
1:20:41
Nowhere to go but. Up and now we're here.
1:20:43
Now we get to meet you guys. I've met like, did you ever see
1:20:46
the first episode of The Simpsons and.
1:20:49
The latest 1. So it's night and day.
1:20:51
Wow, I I would, I would do that. It's.
1:20:54
Crazy because it's like very cartoonish, right?
1:20:57
The first one. It's.
1:20:58
Animation. It was like Homer's voice.
1:21:00
It didn't sound like a. Wow.
1:21:01
But yeah, I mean, obviously there's progression here.
1:21:04
This place is like an institution.
1:21:06
I wouldn't encourage people to come here and like, do shop
1:21:08
tours because that's going to waste your time.
1:21:10
But I feel like this, unless you've been living under a rock
1:21:13
by a 240 in this place. Perfect I.
1:21:16
Don't want to sound like you're paying me.
1:21:17
Money to say, it says. This place, you look like we
1:21:20
might be rocks. Thank you man, I appreciate it.
1:21:21
This is rocks. Like the details here?
1:21:24
Like I said earlier, someone at OCD must have designed this
1:21:27
place because it's fucking amazing.
1:21:29
Yeah, thank you, dude. I appreciate that.
1:21:31
Everything. Yeah, every little.
1:21:33
Detail how clean the shop. Floor is I know one guy who is
1:21:36
like obsessed with like clean shop floors and like customers
1:21:40
obviously judge that yeah, yeah. And like I was, I was at a point
1:21:42
when I was like working on my cars and stuff where I was like
1:21:45
keep the place clean or get productivity done on the car.
1:21:48
I remember when I just wanted to work on the car and you're like,
1:21:50
well, today we're. Cleaning.
1:21:51
I'm like, no, that's an important part of the week.
1:21:54
It is. It is.
1:21:56
Crucial. Yeah, yeah.
1:21:58
And if you can, schedule. It like that and then do it at
1:22:00
a. Certain time, you know, if
1:22:01
you're like, oh, Sunday night I'm gonna spend an hour cleaning
1:22:04
up yeah yeah. Then you go into it the next
1:22:06
time and you're like OK, now I know where everything is Every.
1:22:09
Yeah. And I can do this because if you
1:22:10
go into filth over and over again, it's like, oh, dude,
1:22:13
you're gonna get back filth. Yeah, now I have OCD in my
1:22:16
toolbox and it's. When like we're going to do
1:22:20
something or whatever and I have to take the tools out-of-the-box
1:22:23
and like, yeah, Yep, that there is, there is a, there is a, I'll
1:22:26
put them back. That has for for 20. 26 It's so
1:22:31
easy for the toolbox to get messed up, right?
1:22:34
But what I've been doing is tricking myself.
1:22:37
Like at the end of the day, I'm like where I would want to just
1:22:41
walk back into the house. Yeah, I'm like, he's not over
1:22:43
you. I'm like yo, one more thing.
1:22:45
Like just clean up. Everything that I touched today
1:22:49
so that when I go in there tomorrow, it doesn't look like a
1:22:52
bomb went off and then I can actually grab a 12 mil deep 6
1:22:57
point socket when I need it. The the the thin line you got to
1:23:01
make sure you don't cross is when you're working.
1:23:05
You don't have OCD. That's my problem.
1:23:07
When I'm working, I have OCD, so that slows everything down
1:23:11
because you're let me put this back.
1:23:13
It's like, no, you can leave it as a mess right now.
1:23:16
You're gonna be using that tool again.
1:23:17
You don't have to put it back right away.
1:23:19
Yeah, yeah. That's.
1:23:21
The problem but as. Long as you.
1:23:22
Clean up. You're in control.
1:23:23
You know where that tool is. That's fine, it helps.
1:23:26
But. It does.
1:23:27
It does waste. Time.
1:23:28
I've noticed it does. Yeah, it's a pain in the ass,
1:23:31
but it's like Logan's only 12 year old where I know his
1:23:33
favorite store is Harbor Freight.
1:23:34
Oh, yeah. Isn't it amazing in there?
1:23:36
It's pretty bad addiction, yeah. It's Harbor.
1:23:39
Freight is is crazy they've been coming out with.
1:23:41
Some good stuff this year or, you know, in the past.
1:23:44
Past few icon. The icon is icons like.
1:23:48
The. The snap.
1:23:50
On of Harbor Freight, yeah, it's really I like Harbor Freight
1:23:54
because lifetime warranty though, yes.
1:23:56
There is there is warranty. And it's really, really good.
1:23:59
But as a painter, there's not a lot of other stores that I can
1:24:02
go to where they cater to auto body stuff.
1:24:05
Yeah, when you got a lot of stuff, when you guys go to paint
1:24:07
the engine Bay, let me know if you have.
1:24:08
Any. Questions I have, I'll gladly we
1:24:11
found you Bondo all over my strut towers and like.
1:24:16
That's why it was so cheap and now it's like you rusted out so
1:24:18
as. Oh yeah, well, you know what?
1:24:20
A Weld boom, there you go. 2 front panels.
1:24:22
There you go. Yeah, Logan, we had no business
1:24:24
returning that part back. To Harbor Freight and getting a
1:24:27
warranty. We welded a ratchet and they're
1:24:29
like, yeah, we'll change it out. The day we were bringing my car
1:24:32
to go get Cage. The battery was like just
1:24:36
sitting there for on the trailer.
1:24:38
Two months, probably. Yeah.
1:24:40
And the winch wasn't working. We're trying to figure out the
1:24:42
winch. We started unloosening the
1:24:44
battery ball and then bam, fire the the ratchet part of the
1:24:49
wrench welded itself together and the ratchet didn't work.
1:24:53
Harbor Freight legendly no business returning this.
1:24:56
They're like, yeah, no. Problem.
1:24:57
Quickly we tossed in the snow and it was fun.
1:24:59
Yeah, thought. To cool it off real quick.
1:25:01
See, that's really the store that's.
1:25:02
Convenient having Harbor Freight if they if they warrant you the
1:25:05
tools like that. Because like having Snap On
1:25:07
tools, yeah, you you have really nice tools and you can warranty
1:25:10
them, but you got to wait for the truck to come by.
1:25:11
And if you don't work at a shop, then you got to find a truck.
1:25:14
And they're never in Manhattan. Yeah, no way.
1:25:17
I was. I've never even thought of that.
1:25:19
I. Think I've seen a home, there's
1:25:21
Berwin Manhattan. I mean it was like 2 home.
1:25:23
The shops in Manhattan are hidden, I feel.
1:25:25
Like, yeah, they all are hidden, yeah.
1:25:26
They're so crazy looking inside. Can we talk about your bat?
1:25:29
Cave. Is that OK?
1:25:30
Yeah, we'll talk about the bat Cave.
1:25:32
This is real. He won't give you the address,
1:25:33
but yeah, dude. He's got a bat cave.
1:25:35
Like pretty much a legit. So he told your manager you pull
1:25:39
this car in because that would be.
1:25:42
Insane. Yeah, he.
1:25:44
Manages buildings like he said so.
1:25:46
Obviously like. Skyscrapers in Manhattan and
1:25:48
underneath how many? 30 feet under 30 feet
1:25:51
underground, 30 feet underground there anymore?
1:25:53
There's a man cave. So that ones gone.
1:25:55
That's gone. Yeah, okay.
1:25:56
But. Recently that thing was.
1:25:58
That's why I. Restored a whole car down there,
1:26:00
yeah. There's all the people that say
1:26:01
I. Restored a car in Manhattan.
1:26:02
Yeah, that is insane. Turn your feet on the ground.
1:26:05
Do you have? Photos of that on.
1:26:06
On your Instagram by any chance? We I could check.
1:26:10
I feel like you do. That's an after.
1:26:11
Post I don't know if we can bring that up.
1:26:12
OK. All right, all.
1:26:13
Right, we'll worry about that later, but I have to show or
1:26:15
even. Just the thought of it, I'm
1:26:16
picturing it in my head and I'm like, no.
1:26:18
But I had like the rotisserie that you have at site like I
1:26:20
took the. Car off the frame and did it,
1:26:22
Sandblasted it, painted it, restored it.
1:26:25
Dude, I remember looking at your Instagram.
1:26:26
I'm like this guy's Batman. Yeah, yeah.
1:26:29
Like, he lives in Manhattan. He has a whole like, if you saw,
1:26:32
I'll show you later. It's just it looks like a man
1:26:34
cave. Yeah, it's big.
1:26:36
Like our old shop. I'm actually picturing like.
1:26:41
I forgot what movie it is, did you feel like?
1:26:42
You made it when that. Happened like, was that it?
1:26:44
Yeah, when? That happened.
1:26:46
I go to my boss, say can I add a?
1:26:47
Couple of shelves to this. He's like, yeah, promise me
1:26:49
you'll never fucking leave. Yeah.
1:26:52
Yeah. So like I don't have anymore.
1:26:54
But I should never left that. Place but I got a golden
1:26:56
opportunity, but it was great. It was just just kept me off the
1:27:00
drink during COVID, right. You know, not that I have a
1:27:03
drinking. How many old nighters?
1:27:04
At least 180 old nighters to build.
1:27:06
That car, but it was worth it. You know, you burn the candle at
1:27:09
both ends if you want good things.
1:27:10
That's why after hours is here, right?
1:27:11
This happens after the after hours.
1:27:13
Yeah. I tell Logan it's cliche.
1:27:14
Is I made this out to be. It's not what you do in nine to
1:27:17
five. It's what you do from your 5 to
1:27:18
9. Takes you as a man, but you got
1:27:20
to you got to burn that candle, you know, to sort of get places
1:27:23
in the world, I feel like. But it was so worth it.
1:27:25
I mean, just building that car. I waited until my wife was on a
1:27:28
beach in Aruba before I bought that car and she had the
1:27:32
cocktail in her hand. I said you got a cocktail.
1:27:34
In your hand, she's like, yeah. I bought a car.
1:27:38
You did what? What?
1:27:39
What what you know, and yeah, it was that's you got it.
1:27:41
So if anyone that has problems, buy an additional car too.
1:27:44
When your wife's on vacation are sent her to Aruba or wherever.
1:27:49
It's totally not. Yeah, go from Ireland too.
1:27:51
And. She got.
1:27:52
No nice Jewish girl from New Jersey?
1:27:54
Oh. OK, Yeah, yeah, yeah, you.
1:27:55
Told me earlier, yeah, yeah, I know.
1:27:56
I met her. Justin was at my wedding.
1:27:58
Really. Yeah.
1:27:59
He tried to get to my car. My.
1:28:00
My transmission was gone in the car and he tried.
1:28:02
He got it going. Oh, my God, Yeah.
1:28:04
It was funny. 5 Burnett, him and Marlo changed out the
1:28:06
transmission and kind of remember it's my wedding.
1:28:09
Yeah. Yeah.
1:28:10
No. What?
1:28:11
No. Yeah, they probably.
1:28:12
Were. And I was like, oh, you gotta
1:28:14
come get the car to go. I'm gonna do a burnout around
1:28:16
the wedding dress. It was in, like, some place in
1:28:18
Rywood, New Jersey. OK.
1:28:19
But yeah, epic wedding. Yeah.
1:28:20
I have to shuttle a whole plane of Irish people to come to my
1:28:22
wedding out here. It's great.
1:28:24
That's awesome. It's probably a riot.
1:28:25
What year did you come here again?
1:28:27
Full time 18 years ago. But probably.
1:28:30
The worst time in the 2008 crash.
1:28:32
But I used to live out here as a kid in the Bronx.
1:28:35
Oh, OK. Yeah.
1:28:36
But then I went back home to Ireland.
1:28:37
I got. Like, you know.
1:28:39
Robbed 2 many times. Wow.
1:28:41
My grandmother was like you gotta be better off back here.
1:28:44
OK so I went back home to Ireland to live in my grandma.
1:28:45
Did you come? Why did you come here when when
1:28:47
you were that young? Long story, but America, Yeah.
1:28:52
You just I just. Yeah, had to get.
1:28:55
Away from something. It wasn't a bad thing, it was
1:28:57
just the thing only knows what you know, but like out here.
1:29:01
And then got my green card. And the reason I came out here
1:29:04
18 years ago is because my green card was going to expire.
1:29:07
I had a great job in IT in Ireland, but I like cheap grass
1:29:10
and American cars. Yeah, it's not that.
1:29:13
It's not so cheap anymore. It's fine.
1:29:15
Stop complaining. It's $8 a gallon in Germany.
1:29:17
Relax. It is really bad elsewhere, like
1:29:20
when you buy it by the. Leader in the Philippines.
1:29:22
It's actually so fucking expensive.
1:29:24
Even California is terrible. I wonder what?
1:29:27
It is right now. I'm wondering that too.
1:29:29
Malcolm, can you look up gas? Prices in California it's
1:29:31
probably. 10s Yeah. You think not?
1:29:32
It might be more than that dude. Have we seen a 10?
1:29:35
When we were out there was like 7-8.
1:29:37
Dollars or something? Crazy as well was that 6-7?
1:29:41
I don't know about diesel. Luckily.
1:29:44
But you have issues. No way dude. 6 bucks?
1:29:47
No way. That's probably for regular.
1:29:50
Oh, exceeding 8? Wait 8 exceeding 8.
1:29:53
Dollars hit show more. What does that say?
1:29:56
Some stations exceeding $8.70. See, I remember seeing stuff
1:29:59
like that. What's it for?
1:30:00
Diesel. Oh, diesel.
1:30:06
I feel bad for the trucks now because.
1:30:07
That means everything's going to go.
1:30:09
Up Oh yeah, we'll. See what happens not.
1:30:13
Ideal. It's probably a $700.
1:30:15
To fill up a tane. Did he put a?
1:30:17
Questionnaire up, Malcolm. Yeah.
1:30:19
Oh, he did. We do these questions.
1:30:23
Oh, yeah. I'm curious of this.
1:30:24
OK. Hey Frank, can I you see my
1:30:26
Galaxy outside? Do you think that's more green?
1:30:28
Than a Tesla, I think a Tesla's more green.
1:30:30
I mean, he recycled it. Everything else I want to say.
1:30:34
Yours is. Everything's upcycled.
1:30:36
For sure, Frank, I always knew you were a smart.
1:30:38
Man, yeah, so. It takes Teslas are terrible.
1:30:41
It takes an average. Of 6.
1:30:42
Tons to make an. Average car.
1:30:44
So that that's in the 60s, I was like 6 tons of mining the earth.
1:30:48
When you build a Tesla, you have to mine anywhere between 250 to
1:30:53
500 tons of earth to get the cobalt minerals.
1:30:56
The cobalt is the bad part, all all that stuff.
1:30:59
So it's it's a. Bit of a roll of a dice.
1:31:01
Because it's either like 250 tons of Earth or 500, right?
1:31:07
Because you, you got a search. It's like Minecraft.
1:31:08
You're searching, you're searching and searching,
1:31:10
searching. So I like to think I recycle the
1:31:12
car and do my part for the oh 100% you buy an old car like
1:31:15
that and you're still using. It Yeah, you that is as bad as
1:31:19
it gets. Yeah, you're.
1:31:19
What do they call it? Fossil Footprint.
1:31:22
Is is way smaller than than someone buying a new, you know,
1:31:25
carbon footprint. Carbon footprint.
1:31:27
Yeah, I'm like fossil. I was like wow.
1:31:34
I just like to. Mess with him, but then he.
1:31:35
Calls me. He's like, yeah, but your car.
1:31:36
Broke down good. Or dead on the Internet.
1:31:39
So, oh, that was, I'm not a I'm not a Tesla.
1:31:41
Person. Dude, have you?
1:31:42
Have you ever? Driven 1 yet?
1:31:43
Oh yeah, they're like spaceships.
1:31:44
They're Yeah, never. I like the.
1:31:46
Accelerating feeling of it. But then it's just such a
1:31:49
gutless like you don't, it's hard not to hear the rabs a
1:31:52
little bit. It's yeah, it's definitely
1:31:53
different. Have you seen the?
1:31:54
Iced tea, Tesla that Chris Fixtures.
1:31:57
Bought. It's like the one with the LS in
1:31:59
it. No, that's cool.
1:32:01
Let's look that up, Malcolm. It's called.
1:32:02
Ice tea because it's. Rich.
1:32:05
Rebuild, Christopher. Yeah, Rich.
1:32:07
Rebuilds did it. That was a channel.
1:32:08
Me and my roommate used to watch her.
1:32:10
In COVID a lot I was going to say.
1:32:11
That Chris Fix guy was at E Town at some point.
1:32:13
No rich rebuilds. He did a lot of random E
1:32:16
electronic. Type builds where he just puts
1:32:19
it. Yep, there, there it is.
1:32:20
Chris Fix moved to Florida, I think.
1:32:21
Yeah, for fishing, yeah. He's cool.
1:32:24
Yeah, a lot of these. Youtubers end up doing fishing.
1:32:26
Right. That's a good thing.
1:32:27
You got to follow your. You're just talking about
1:32:29
there's only one other guy and it's literally.
1:32:31
Just no. There's a Francisco.
1:32:33
I'm thinking of some other. Gun guy but yeah the smartest
1:32:37
thing a man can do is buy a cyber truck and put a Cummins.
1:32:40
Or 7 three in. That sounds awesome.
1:32:42
That sounds about it, $7.00 a gallon.
1:32:45
Yeah, maybe not so much, right. Now that's cool.
1:32:50
So, Frankie, how? Come, you haven't.
1:32:51
Drifted it in a while. When are you going back?
1:32:54
Probably this, yeah. For the most.
1:32:56
Part Are you going to get back out?
1:32:57
In the next couple of years, yeah, I mean, we're, we're
1:32:59
building. AZ right now just because it's
1:33:01
kind of easy. To do and that'll that'll get me
1:33:03
back on the track at least. But I do have to finish my car.
1:33:06
Obviously it's just procrastination or is it like he
1:33:10
does not. I don't miss the way.
1:33:12
That you would think. But.
1:33:16
I love drifting. It's fun.
1:33:17
Yeah. Yeah.
1:33:17
I'm never gonna not love drifting.
1:33:19
It's just it doesn't take a priority over my shop.
1:33:22
Yeah. Which is funny, because it's the
1:33:24
rest of us. Want him to drift?
1:33:26
So bad. Yeah, he was a legend, that
1:33:30
picture. On the top right.
1:33:32
I looked at it every day for a while and I was going to make my
1:33:36
car look completely different than it does right now.
1:33:39
And then Frankie gave me a sliver of hope that maybe we
1:33:42
were going to drive together. So then I bought the body kit
1:33:44
that would look better drifting with that.
1:33:47
And then your car looks good though the car, the car never.
1:33:52
Got done. No, it looked good, I mean.
1:33:54
I. Discovered a new group of
1:33:56
friends at. The track.
1:33:57
Developed another new drift team in the time.
1:33:59
Yeah, but they they still drive nice cars that look good.
1:34:02
I love my, I love my phone. That's an example of what I'm
1:34:05
talking about. Like.
1:34:06
It took a while for me to find that group of friends and if I
1:34:08
was just drifting I feel like we would have all found each other
1:34:10
soon. Dude I'm the most happiest one
1:34:12
of my club. Loose like people.
1:34:14
Talk about genuine happiness when you get to like, I'm a nerd
1:34:16
by trade. So like the fact that you get to
1:34:19
nerd out with other people. Yeah.
1:34:20
It's like my, my sides are literally splitting from mental
1:34:24
laughter and happiness and just being around with cool people
1:34:29
that share the same thing that you like.
1:34:30
So then you you. You could just let loose like
1:34:34
fully. You could talk about whatever.
1:34:36
You want that's. The best thing about the friends
1:34:38
that I've made through drifting? So I can't wait.
1:34:42
Just show up with sneaky pizza and have a.
1:34:44
Few pairs, yeah. And and then.
1:34:46
You'll definitely come out there with a few friends at least.
1:34:48
Shout out to red this this question is is.
1:34:51
Pretty relevant will Logan's. Car be finished before Frankie.
1:34:55
Oh yes, yes, yo, you can. Actually raise.
1:34:58
You. Could.
1:34:59
You could we. Gotta start putting.
1:35:01
Bets on this like Kaushi? Yeah, yeah, Kaushi, yeah, OK,
1:35:05
there should be 1 we're. Making the same jokes.
1:35:07
Yo, Malcolm, do you have to pay for that?
1:35:09
Do you know if you have to pay to, like, run one of those bets?
1:35:11
Yeah. I don't think anybody could just
1:35:13
do that. OK.
1:35:13
Yeah, dude, we can't. No, that would be if my mom
1:35:17
finds out I'm pretty. Screwed you?
1:35:19
You can. You're at the same.
1:35:21
Stages we are kind of You're going to get a cage in your car.
1:35:25
I guarantee you that car is not. Going to move a move an inch so
1:35:28
then we could start. When's the when's the cage due?
1:35:31
I don't know. Summer, Summer.
1:35:33
We got to get some. I got some time.
1:35:35
But. The way it's been going.
1:35:37
You. Guys might make it so you have
1:35:40
your engine, he has his also I want.
1:35:42
A tandem with him, that's going to be one of the that'll happen,
1:35:45
yeah. Frankie gives good lead line.
1:35:47
By by the way. Going back to these pictures
1:35:50
when you did the. Three dark 3 car cat tandem that
1:35:52
was insane you must have blew a lot of mines across America at
1:35:54
final bout because like yeah final bout because like people
1:35:56
are doing that in Japan all. Day, but like.
1:35:58
When you guys used to tour America, I mean, we didn't do
1:36:01
that was the coolest thing ever, but people were.
1:36:04
Club loose do. You remember the?
1:36:05
Train train was 21. That was crazy man.
1:36:09
But the. Only reason that was crazy for.
1:36:11
Us was because Scott never tandem before that day yeah
1:36:15
that's why it was crazy and everyone from the way that.
1:36:17
Cars were painted. I thought you.
1:36:18
Guys were doing that all your life, yeah.
1:36:21
Everyone at Club Loose was like, you know, they're going out.
1:36:22
We had so much riding. Because I, I didn't really care
1:36:25
too much about winning. I just wanted to go.
1:36:27
But then everyone from Club Loose was like, oh, they're
1:36:29
going to win. And I was like, Oh my God, like
1:36:32
this is a lot of pressure. Like we didn't want to come out
1:36:35
here and and have all this pressure on us.
1:36:37
But it because we were the only ones from the East Coast really
1:36:39
that were going out there. All right.
1:36:41
Yeah, at the second one, because the happy boy guy was there.
1:36:44
What was his name? The RX7 hurt.
1:36:47
Hurt life, Yeah. Hurt.
1:36:48
Yeah. Yeah, that was cool.
1:36:50
That was cool. Hurt.
1:36:50
I mean hurt. I knew hurt from Injuku Racing
1:36:53
when he worked in Injuku Racing. Yeah, he was like my first sales
1:36:57
Rep there, which is funny. And then he he blew up and he'd
1:37:00
gone who he went again and did all that.
1:37:02
But yeah, final that was that was crazy man.
1:37:04
That that photo is there one which is that one?
1:37:08
I think it's behind that magazine.
1:37:10
But there's a photo of us all. Lined up on the wall and my
1:37:13
friend Connor took that photo and he sent it to me when we
1:37:15
were on grid and I was like holy shit.
1:37:18
Because we did not expect to. We did not expect to.
1:37:21
Do that well, you know, and that's like what they did at
1:37:25
Holly Ford Fest. They did like A5 car tandem.
1:37:28
Yeah, the more cars, the harder it is.
1:37:30
For sure, you inspired a lot of people, like even me and my
1:37:32
cousin Peter, he came. Over here, bought an FC.
1:37:35
Pedro. Yeah, freed the Pedro he's
1:37:37
allowed in the country. When?
1:37:38
Next year. Oh my God, no.
1:37:40
What the fuck? So I'm turning 13.
1:37:43
He. Overstayed his visa to.
1:37:45
Yeah, I think next. Year.
1:37:46
So his 10 year ban, whatever. Not that he's told that.
1:37:49
But he feels like he's should. Probably.
1:37:50
Wait, I remember we. Called him.
1:37:52
I was seven years old. I think it was on my birthday
1:37:54
and I'm like. How much longer till you can
1:37:56
come back? He's like 7 years.
1:37:58
So on my 14th birthday, he'll be back.
1:38:01
So, so cool. But yeah, just we, we got the
1:38:04
drift Gypsies across our top of that.
1:38:06
I'm like. Wow.
1:38:07
This is like when you that you're like the stuff that you
1:38:10
do. You don't realize it inspires
1:38:12
people, but it definitely did. Yeah, because me and Peter
1:38:14
wanted that. Moments like you have there with
1:38:16
the picture and up there. But yeah, all I think all deep
1:38:19
down like these kids, the drift Bros, they want that moment.
1:38:23
Yeah, it was it wasn't like a big thing on the East Coast for
1:38:25
drift teams and stuff. It wasn't and even.
1:38:27
It wasn't drift teams weren't a huge thing in America, period,
1:38:30
but they did exist. Yeah, yeah, The guys in Chicago
1:38:33
are pretty cool. Yeah, yeah.
1:38:35
Proceed guys. The risky devil guys.
1:38:38
Yeah, there were. Teams around, but it wasn't that
1:38:41
big. That event is what really.
1:38:43
Yeah, blew it up, but now we're on the 9th.
1:38:46
Yeah, that was 2. Ninth is crazy.
1:38:48
That was the second. One, yeah, and that event.
1:38:51
I highly recommend you take him there.
1:38:53
To one of the please. Go this year, like, we'll, we'll
1:38:57
let you know what's happening and we'll make something of it
1:38:59
because I know you got you're into the American stuff.
1:39:02
Yeah, but oh, dude, it will pull your mind.
1:39:05
Yeah. I like JD.
1:39:06
I'm just don't like German. Yeah, hot version videos and.
1:39:10
Understeer King Adam on YouTube he.
1:39:13
Subtitles and uploads. He's the one to follow.
1:39:16
He's the best YouTube channel. I like to go to him and.
1:39:20
He's a really cool dude in. Person too, but that's like like
1:39:23
even the pre meets in in Chicago before we go to the track it.
1:39:27
It blows your mind because it's just like Chicago is like the
1:39:31
it's like a home base of JDM drifting culture in America to
1:39:36
me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:39:38
And that's exactly what you just said, like inspiring people and
1:39:40
stuff. I think that's what.
1:39:41
Happened there. It's like they were around in
1:39:44
like 2005, seven, 6-7, something like that.
1:39:47
And they inspired so many people around them to get into drifting
1:39:53
and then, you know, have their own teams and and the car, the
1:39:56
magnitude of cars that they produce over there is.
1:40:01
Out of this world. Like you see.
1:40:04
Those cars and you're like, this is like straight from.
1:40:05
I mean, Carl knows he you've experienced this.
1:40:07
It's because he brought me there, too.
1:40:09
Yeah. He corrupted the hell out of me.
1:40:12
I tell everyone like if you're. Into JDM drifting and stuff like
1:40:15
you need. To go to final value you have
1:40:17
to. Go because you have to
1:40:18
experience it. Where is that?
1:40:19
It's in Shawano, WI. Shawano, WI is where the track
1:40:23
is. But Chicago is kind of where
1:40:25
everything. Starts and then everyone drives
1:40:27
up there and what is it 5 hours? Is it more than that?
1:40:31
I have Wisconsin's like 15 hours.
1:40:33
Yeah, the track is like 18 hours away, but.
1:40:36
From Chicago. It's like.
1:40:37
Three to five hours away and there is like there's like a
1:40:41
stretch where that happens where.
1:40:44
Leading up to the event, you do like a bunch of stuff you hang
1:40:46
out at at Grid Life headquarters.
1:40:49
That's what it's called, dude. They throw on such a crazy and
1:40:51
and now you see all the cars that are going to drift at.
1:40:54
The event at this grid. Life.
1:40:55
Headquarters and and you're. Seeing all the people that
1:40:57
you've been following on Instagram for a while and the
1:40:59
builds and all this and that, and then you just chat with
1:41:02
everybody. Yeah.
1:41:03
And everyone's friends. You full like, like you're
1:41:05
saying, you get to nerd out. Yeah, yeah.
1:41:07
There you full blown nerd out. 'Cause now you know what
1:41:11
everybody's there for and you all know each other by Instagram
1:41:14
too. And they're like, oh, you're Oh
1:41:16
yeah, yeah, you're up. Yeah.
1:41:18
Because the first one, I was at the first one as a spectator.
1:41:20
And I got to see. All the dudes from.
1:41:23
Zip Tide and Zilvia and everything, I saw them all
1:41:27
meeting each other for the first time and it was crazy because it
1:41:29
was kind of before, it wasn't before Instagram, but it was
1:41:32
Instagram wasn't big. It was like 2014 maybe.
1:41:35
So they all knew each other from forums for like 10 years and
1:41:39
then they're all meeting each other for the first time and it
1:41:41
was crazy. It was like they they kept
1:41:43
saying it was like the Internet like was meeting up.
1:41:46
So but the same thing now just with Instagram.
1:41:48
Yeah, just with Instagram, you know, I don't know.
1:41:51
It's it's an amazing event, but that's another question here.
1:41:53
Why? American.
1:41:54
Over JDM, I think it was just he had American car and.
1:42:00
I just. I didn't really look at the JDM
1:42:05
too much. Affordable because the JDM would
1:42:09
have been weighed out of my budget.
1:42:11
Yeah. Especially when you start
1:42:12
getting into everything. Yeah, I'm trying to think of any
1:42:14
other cool Fox spot. Do you know who?
1:42:16
Cash Staub is yeah, yeah, he's a.
1:42:18
Cool guy. He just rebuilt his car and
1:42:20
yeah, it's blue now and stuff and styled out and.
1:42:24
It's possible I think. He's on like ABC exclusive or
1:42:27
something like that. The wheels.
1:42:28
Yo, can you bring up Chelsea de Nova's Fox body?
1:42:31
Because I yeah, it's kind of that one was pretty cool.
1:42:32
And that one, you know, it's. Built by Chelsea so everything
1:42:34
is built beautiful. Top notch.
1:42:37
Engineering and then when you see him drive it, it's like
1:42:40
minimal correction at the wheel. He's literally just holding the
1:42:42
wheel. He did my knuckles on my first
1:42:44
car years ago. I've yet to meet Chelsea but he
1:42:47
seems like he would be. Awesome to chat with.
1:42:48
I've met him once at. That's literally the Karma World
1:42:51
Tour a notch. Back she had.
1:42:54
No, she had. I think hers.
1:42:56
Was a convertible is. That what that's called.
1:42:58
Is that a notch? Yeah, that's a notch, the
1:43:00
hatches, the one that you have. Yeah.
1:43:04
Yeah, dude, I remember seeing Vaughn gettin when?
1:43:06
He was at club loose with the it's.
1:43:08
Just for. Me.
1:43:09
What bewilders me about when you see Chelsea Dr. is because it's
1:43:12
always just so. Calculated and clean.
1:43:14
Yeah, yeah, we got we, we got to meet him sometime.
1:43:18
Yeah, that. Engine's so light and there's
1:43:20
another guy we. Know who's one?
1:43:21
Of Logan's big sponsors. Yeah, Dalton.
1:43:23
Dalton Legends. Right there, there's his car.
1:43:25
That's Dalton there with that bottom left.
1:43:27
Yeah, Dalton. Has like.
1:43:28
Got. Logan, so many parts.
1:43:30
Like all it's going over. His.
1:43:32
Knuckles all came from Dalton Regular and you're set.
1:43:35
Yeah. Yeah.
1:43:36
Oh, wow. Can we see like the end?
1:43:38
I never believe it. Or.
1:43:39
Not I've never seen this engine A2.
1:43:41
Point. Three, that's that's a video
1:43:42
worth watching. The the Dalton video The 2.3
1:43:44
EcoBoost. Serious build.
1:43:46
I think what does Chelsea does a 2 liter or 2.3 is a photos.
1:43:49
Oh bro dude here's literally a build.
1:43:51
OK, perfect this is. Perfect.
1:43:53
He gets under the car. Like this is like a 600 escape.
1:43:56
Motor essentially I don't know about.
1:43:58
Chelsea's what you guys, Dalton, was you guys ever considered
1:44:00
doing this stuff or not? It would it seems like the like
1:44:02
cost we did cost. The thing is the.
1:44:04
Adapter played what between the Pelhausen and the.
1:44:06
Transmission, yeah. What transmission do you run in
1:44:08
these? The same T5, so it's usually T5
1:44:11
but the. Adapter for a transmission is
1:44:13
very expensive. How?
1:44:15
Expensive like 3233? Yeah.
1:44:18
Wow. That was when I checked, but I
1:44:21
didn't. Consider EcoBoost until after I
1:44:23
bought. But if you blow up the.
1:44:24
Motor, you just pick up a $600.00 Escape motor, Yes, good
1:44:27
to go. That's where you went, and it's
1:44:28
the power. To weight ratio like it's like
1:44:30
how far back? That motor is like it's crazy.
1:44:33
Your force, your 4 cylinder turbo, that's cool, will love.
1:44:38
Drifting. It will be good.
1:44:39
How many horsepower is that? Logan Dalton's.
1:44:41
Think three. I'm pushing 4.
1:44:44
Four. Yeah.
1:44:44
Go to that one on the left, right there.
1:44:46
Yeah, that one. I just I love these pro.
1:44:48
Cars, dude, I. Don't know why.
1:44:50
Something about the Mustang shape that that I like that
1:44:52
generation Mustang. Yeah, it looks tough, dude.
1:44:54
RTR does it right. They send everything to like.
1:44:56
Abu Dhabi and all these crazy Oh really, to set the.
1:44:59
Chassis up and everything, yeah, they'll build out a full RTRX or
1:45:03
whatever and. Send it to wherever you want.
1:45:04
Have you guys gone to SEMA? No, I remember one time they had
1:45:08

1:45:11
I. Was like this is.
1:45:12
Awesome. Yeah, Yeah.
1:45:13
I don't know, something about something about those Mustangs
1:45:16
and forming the drift. I kind of fucked with them, you
1:45:18
know what I mean? I just think that they're really
1:45:20
cool. They had a cool style, like the
1:45:22
look at the shape of the look at the shape of the.
1:45:24
Car yeah, there's a long nose and a short rear end that is a
1:45:27
race car. There's so many build up parts
1:45:29
in that, so much custom like the angle kit in this car is just
1:45:33
like. It felt like top secret for a
1:45:34
while. Yeah, You know what I do also
1:45:36
like about Chelsea de Nova? You ever go on a random?
1:45:39
You'll be on. Instagram.

1:45:43
Chelsea is in the comments. Yeah, I've seen that before.
1:45:45
Setting things correct. Yeah, like he's actively.
1:45:50
On Instagram. It's my favorite thing ever.
1:45:52
Yeah, I've seen that. Sometimes he comments on the
1:45:54
factions. I've seen one.
1:45:55
Yeah, I've seen where he just. Commented about when we were.
1:45:58
Yelling about when you have an ugly kid.

Can get him on the podcast because I think he's.
1:46:15
A really cool downer guy yeah and I'd love to have a
1:46:19
conversation with that guy but yeah, yeah, he's got a really
1:46:21
good engineering mind. Like I I if he was just allowed
1:46:24
to like, think and cook things up, he would have the.
1:46:26
Craze, which he does. It's funny, a lot of a lot of
1:46:29
the pro Drifters are like that. There's a lot of them that are
1:46:32
like. Secretly geniuses they are.
1:46:34
Yeah. There's just more time to be
1:46:35
creative. Yeah.
1:46:36
It's so interesting. Like the stuff that Von Get and
1:46:38
Junior's on? He opened that like NASCAR shop
1:46:40
and it. Was a Concorde.
1:46:42
Charlotte, Charlotte near that area.
1:46:44
I mean, stuff he's doing is nuts.
1:46:46
Yeah, just like here. Like it's amazing.
1:46:48
Well, I don't know about like here, but no, they develop.
1:46:50
Parts here they do. Don't, don't, don't sell.
1:46:53
Yourself short, I'm still. Waiting for RTR stuff for Fox
1:46:57
body like he has the. Like the stitch fenders with the
1:47:01
zip ties? I mean, that's.
1:47:02
About it. But he doesn't sell.
1:47:04
Dude, you need you need to talk to Chelsea or something.
1:47:07
Yeah, I met him once at least. Even just to like you look at
1:47:10
his car like up close. I'm not.
1:47:12
Saying like copy. Everything.
1:47:14
But whenever I see something that I like, I'll just like,
1:47:17
mentally know. You got to copy Chelsea, who's a
1:47:19
mess around. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:47:20
You got to like literally copy. That whole car, Oh my God these
1:47:25
comments are great. Some of the some of these we
1:47:28
talked about. What was it?
1:47:32
Any controversial ones? No, nothing crazy.
1:47:36
I mean 1 is what? Would your death row.
1:47:38
Meal be maybe we shouldn't talk about you being on death row
1:47:41
random. You're going to ask a 12 year
1:47:43
old, you know what he's going to have on death row.
1:47:46
Yeah, when you get arrested for street drifting.
1:47:47
What are you going to? You know, I don't know.
1:47:51
Curry cheese chips. Yeah, Curry cheese.
1:47:53
Chips you. Guys probably eat good.
1:47:57
Already. What is that, Malcolm?
1:47:58
Right away was like, where are they?
1:48:00
Yeah. Wait, what?
1:48:00
This. Sounds like a Malcolm favorite.
1:48:03
I need that you got them in all Irish places.
1:48:05
Like you wouldn't think that Curry.
1:48:07
And Ireland go ahead and. Yeah, that's weird.
1:48:08
But yeah, I think that a lot of influence comes from like
1:48:11
England, but like there's different variations of French
1:48:14
fries, OK, in in Ireland. So you can have cart garlic
1:48:17
cheese chip, Curry cheese chip. Chip is like another word for
1:48:20
fries. In Ireland, we call it chips
1:48:22
Fries, we call it fry. We call it chips.
1:48:24
Chris. Chris in Ireland.
1:48:25
OK, yeah. Wow.
1:48:28
Malcolm would love that guy. Yeah.
1:48:30
Yeah. Oh my God.

We'll. Bring it.
1:48:31
That just pissed me. Off because now I can't have it.
1:48:34
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, someone skipped lunch.
1:48:36
How often do you guys go to Ireland?
1:48:38
Is it? Is it once a year?
1:48:39
Yeah, I try and go once a year, but the family's going back this
1:48:41

1:49:09
Oh yeah, it's an LS. Yeah, it's an LS.
1:49:11
Yeah, exactly. Those are good.
1:49:12
And they have Jay-Z in them. No, they have a.
1:49:14
UZ, but you could you could do 100.
1:49:16
Miles an hour in. That car and talk.
1:49:19
At A at a volume, it's a very normal volume.
1:49:21
Yeah, it's one of those, it's one of those cars you want to
1:49:23
get driven in. They spent it's a million mile
1:49:25
car. It's one of those, yeah, that
1:49:26
there is one with 1,000,000 miles.
1:49:28
On it, I think there's actually more on it.
1:49:29
Matt Farah did one on the smoke and tire I think and they handed
1:49:33
it off to people like put miles on.
1:49:35
My uncle had a taxi company. He had a definitely 1,000,000
1:49:37
miles in one chassis, a Toyota. Karina, which is like, yeah,
1:49:43
popular taxi. Cars in Ireland.
1:49:44
Anything it it probably came with like a any Toyota that
1:49:48
comes with like that accordion. Shift boot, it's like like,
1:49:52
yeah, like this. That will run forever.
1:49:54
Yeah. Any car that has that ship, the
1:49:56
Toyota guy, he knows everything there is.
1:49:58
I bet if you look at the center console of that that second.
1:50:01
One. Yeah, that looks like a taxi.
1:50:03
It is a type in like the one the green one on the far right
1:50:06
Toyota Carina thousand million miles on it.
1:50:08
You would love Ireland, they get all the.
1:50:09
Japanese imports, Yeah, you're kind of making me want to.
1:50:12
If you type in interior you should come over the summer.
1:50:15
If I if I can make. That happen.
1:50:17
I probably would, yeah. You'd enjoy?
1:50:19
It. You're Irish.
1:50:20
You got to go. I know.
1:50:21
That's why I feel like, are you really?

1:50:26
Beard. Yeah.
1:50:26
Celtic beard. Yeah, I'm more Irish.
1:50:31
Accordion. Oh no, it's not.
1:50:32
It's a. It's a boot.
1:50:34
It's a. It's a boot.
1:50:35
Damn I thought it was that where it is that boot.
1:50:39
If it has that shift boot it will run forever because they
1:50:43
literally had to make the shift boot.
1:50:45
Put that shift boat, put that shift boot on my car.
1:50:49
Your car might have came. With something like that
1:50:50
originally, yeah, Actually, yeah, I think it did, yeah.
1:50:54
Yeah, it might have. That's where the magic.
1:50:56
Is you guys. I remember the original Chelsea.
1:50:58
I remember we. Got the car, we brought it home
1:51:00

Nothing wrong with that. But.
1:51:47
Logan, thanks for not being lame.
1:51:50
Yeah. Thanks, Logan.
1:51:51
And love dad looking. Forward to having a drift team.

Gypsies, if you're still allowed.

That'd be cool. That is that that that's the
1:52:00
name of the name. That's the name.

That's yeah, me and my. Cousin Pedro Hughes.
1:52:03
I like. Those.
1:52:04
Yeah, yeah. Drift.
1:52:05
Gypsies. So one of the perfect one of the
1:52:07
questions was why did all the Irish quit drifting except
1:52:10
Kieran? Yeah, Kieran's.
1:52:13
Kieran's a real one. Yeah, he's a real one.
1:52:14
Because I remember. There was a moment at Club was
1:52:17
where you weren't sure if you were in.
1:52:18
Ireland or if you. Were in new.
1:52:19
Jersey could have sworn, like, drifting was huge over there.
1:52:22
Like, yeah, in Ireland, yeah, it's massive.
1:52:24
Yeah, that OK. Yeah, they do it all in like
1:52:26
Alexis is that? I asked.
1:52:28
Two hundreds. Oh, that's.
1:52:29
What? I asked.
1:52:30
They don't. Have the three hundreds in
1:52:31
Ireland because yeah, they got the the two leader.
1:52:33
But yeah, Fred. Kill used to be.
1:52:34
Drifting in Fred. In Ed Tinney's.
1:52:37
Yeah, Ed Tinney and. Then so many Irish guy, they're
1:52:40
all from the same place and they're all into pylons.
1:52:43
They did like all the all the pylons for big high residential
1:52:46
buildings in New York City. They work for a company called
1:52:48
ECD and ECD do core drilling. But the guy who runs that
1:52:52
company's name is Barry McKenna. He has like these awesome cars
1:52:56
that come over from Ireland, like Ford Escorts, but he like
1:53:00
he would call up M Sport, get up a car, build a rally car, do
1:53:03
upstate rally. But all those guys are into
1:53:05
Ireland is a massive rally country.
1:53:07
They love Formula One, of course, as well, but they don't
1:53:09
have the roads for it. Yeah, but rallies, yeah, rally
1:53:13
was cool. I remember they had the World
1:53:14
Rally Championships in my hometown.
1:53:16
It was crazy just seeing, Wow, just millions and millions of
1:53:19
dollars worth of car and like, oh, university, like through the
1:53:22
streets. Through the streets, man.
1:53:24
No, never mind the streets off of Mulag.
1:53:26
Moore, Do you ever see like? These 80 foot waves you.
1:53:28
See on the Internet, that's in. That's in my home, that's in my
1:53:31
hometown, Mulag, Moore, MULLAG or whatever.
1:53:35
But no look more. But but we had the rally over
1:53:39
there. It was crazy seeing like.
1:53:41
Schuberg. And all these guys, wow, that
1:53:44
literally looks like a Windows 98 screen single.
1:53:48
Lives. Around there.
1:53:49
Oh, has that been mobile in the background?
1:53:51
Yeah, this is your. Hometown.
1:53:53
Yeah, it's my hometown. This.
1:53:54
Is like see this castle over? Here.
1:53:55
And you moved to New York? City.
1:53:56
Oh, sure. No.
1:53:58
That's, that's Ireland on a good day.
1:53:59
Oh, he. Didn't.
1:54:00
Then I wouldn't be here. True, Yeah.
1:54:03
So you guys got real castles? Out there Oh yeah, I'll come
1:54:06
just. For that, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
1:54:08
need to see that, yeah. You do this is beautiful, but
1:54:10
then then the world round Rally Championship on that road it.
1:54:13
Was that's so. Very cool.
1:54:15
They got rally, yeah, just for rally or something, yeah.
1:54:19
Yeah, Irish rally. Cars don't know how.
1:54:20
To do it. Yeah, 2007, Yeah, right before.
1:54:23
I came to America. That's right.
1:54:25
Look at. The 9/11 on the left.
1:54:27
In that same row. Yeah.
1:54:29
What? Yeah.
1:54:30
Imagine. Seeing that that would be really
1:54:32
sick, man, I, I, I mean. F1 almost came.
1:54:35
To Weehawk in that one time we. Were so excited.
1:54:37
Yeah my dad got form of the Eden set or something.
1:54:39
Ohh my dad was so hyped because they did the promo.
1:54:41
Where they went through the Lincoln, the Lincoln Tunnel.
1:54:44
And my dad was like, I know the perfect spot where we could.
1:54:47
Watch they started paving roads too.
1:54:49
Like they were, they were getting pretty serious.
1:54:50
He was my We were just so geek because I was like.
1:54:53
Yo, we'll be able to get on this parking garage.
1:54:55
We'll be able to view. Everything.
1:54:56
It'll be so cool. That's what we all were
1:54:58
thinking. We're like, we'll find a way.
1:55:00
Yeah, yeah, that and. Then they cut it and I was like.
1:55:02
And they changed the way the cars sounded.
1:55:04
They got rid of they got rid of the 10 or whatever they had.
1:55:07
But wasn't that the? Year.
1:55:08
I might be wrong but wasn't that the year when they had AV?
1:55:11
Was it AV 8? I think the.
1:55:12
V8 was the last cool one and then like the eco boost V6 and
1:55:16
then they went to V6 or something.
1:55:18
That was when my dad started being a.
1:55:19
Hater super quickly he was like. They don't.
1:55:22
It does not sound like I. Used to, but they did something
1:55:24
cool for this year they made the cars narrow, more narrow than
1:55:28
before because they. They realized they weren't able
1:55:30
to, like, pass each other on the streets anymore.
1:55:32
So instead of making them wider, they were like, all right, we
1:55:34
got to cut back. Oh, yeah.
1:55:35
So I feel like that's kind of cool.
1:55:36
Yeah. Like, that's the direction you
1:55:37
should go. You should start reversing
1:55:39
everything. Yeah, I did not.
1:55:40
Know that it'll make it more entertaining.
1:55:41
Hopefully Formula One happens in Washington.
1:55:43
That will only help the sport. Yeah.
1:55:45
Get closer to New York, maybe? Yeah.
1:55:47
No, it was going to. That was going to be.
1:55:48
They should do a Formula Drift event in Times Square.
1:55:50
That'd be a. Cool.
1:55:53
Might get a permit there. Imagine formula.
1:55:57
Drift. In like a street.
1:55:59
Circuit, yeah. That like me I want to go to
1:56:02
long. Beach so bad because yeah, yeah,
1:56:03
yeah. Like that was I.
1:56:04
Was always like, that's the coolest one.
1:56:06
Yeah, like that first turn from that angle that they get it at
1:56:09
Wild. Sometimes I just think about
1:56:11
like what what I would do if I lived in one of those apartments
1:56:14
that live right there. I would invite my entire phone
1:56:16
book. Yeah, to my apartment.
1:56:18
I mean, you know, look what I we we got the best spot.
1:56:20
You can make just so much money off that.
1:56:22
I wasn't even thinking This is why I'm a terrible businessman.
1:56:25
Because I just thought about. That's why you're going to make,
1:56:27
you are going to be. Rich and I will still be.
1:56:30
Right here. We'll work for him one day.
1:56:31
Yeah, because that is big break shout out.
1:56:35
Shout out to the drone guy and the oh he did.
1:56:37
From the top of the building just weighs.
1:56:39
Down those all those like roof terrace, yeah.
1:56:42
He just, he just hits one of these.
1:56:44
Like right, right as they're entering and you're like.
1:56:47

1:56:57
Of AutoZone, is she his new? Livery I don't know, but they
1:56:59

1:57:01
O'reilly's real Irish is a useful it makes more.
1:57:04
Sense they're a. Much.
1:57:05
More useful. Part shop I went to.
1:57:09
Texas. And I've been to Georgia where
1:57:10
they have O'reilly's and all my friends are like, just go to
1:57:14
O'reilly's and get it. We don't have them here.
1:57:16
AutoZone Advance Auto Parts wouldn't have the part that I
1:57:19
would need. O'reilly's would.
1:57:21
It's weird. Can you get AG one on O'reilly's
1:57:24

An advertisement I. Look right at the.
1:57:46
Camera right there. It's the only time I do that.
1:57:50
The entire yeah AG one is our most by AG one or I will find
1:57:54
out where you live. AG1 is our most.
1:57:56
Legitimate sponsor but also the scariest to do any add reads for
1:57:59
anything because I'm like. Yeah, they're everywhere.
1:58:01
Like I can't mess, mess this up. You know?
1:58:03
I tell people we're sponsored by AG One and they're like.
1:58:05
What? And I'm like.
1:58:06
I don't know. That's the reaction I get to.
1:58:09

1:58:33
Think yeah, Wisconsin's a beautiful place.
1:58:35
Yeah, they have. What reminds you of the
1:58:37
homeland? I was going to say.
1:58:39
There's a spot where. They have.
1:58:41
A castle, but it's for. Cheese.
1:58:44
Yeah, of course. It's the same kind of castle
1:58:46
cheese. Castle History class.
1:58:48
Once, Wisconsin. Once.
1:58:50
Yeah, yeah. Did a road trip across.
1:58:52
America, you know, wait, you taught a history and basically
1:58:55
it involves teaching them about Curry, cheese, rice, really So
1:58:58
like. An Irish thing, Are we just?
1:58:59
Rubbing this in Malcolm's stage right now.
1:59:01

York and one of my friends lives in.
1:59:06
Wisconsin and yeah. Just taught a class.
1:59:09
I I was hooked up in like 3-5 hour energy drinks.
1:59:12
Oh, my face was blowing. Yeah.
1:59:14
And was it Monster or Red Bull? It was like a second grass.
1:59:17
Oh, OK. So you didn't have to prep that.
1:59:19
Much. No.
1:59:20
No, it wasn't. Energy drinks AG1AG.
1:59:22
One that'll get you across the. Country, yeah, one of the
1:59:27
questions we kind of covered. This, but maybe not do other
1:59:29
kids in school think cars are cool or do they not care you
1:59:32
kind of told us yeah, they don't really care I mean, there's
1:59:35
going to be one or two kids who like.
1:59:38
They just like the German cars. They don't really like anything
1:59:41
else. And I wonder what that is.
1:59:42
I wonder why they all is it you think the parents have the
1:59:44
parents probably driving Mercedes you know when you go to
1:59:46
a lot of. Garages in Manhattan, it's like
1:59:49
a Mercedes. Dealership.
1:59:50
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably influencing them that
1:59:52
that on that, yeah. But Logan found a friend in the
1:59:55
school. Who's?
1:59:55
Actually going to his camp this year and he just.
1:59:57

2:01:56
Wait, where can I get that though?
2:01:58
OK, the best. Place to go is there's a pub in
2:02:01
New. York City.
2:02:01
It's called Murphy's. They have the best Murphy's.
2:02:05
OK, All right, Malcolm, we're going.
2:02:07
I'm. I'm making a note.
2:02:08
What do I eat a lot about the chicken and rice runs?
2:02:11
Sometimes. How long guys?
2:02:12
Very rarely, but we did do one recently, yeah.
2:02:15
Yeah, yeah. And oh, wait.
2:02:16
You guys went after the show? Yeah, we did go.
2:02:18
We you saw a van outside the white.
2:02:20
Van Yeah, yeah, the free candy one that.
2:02:23
Is the free candy van that is. My second best purchase.
2:02:26
Of my life, my first was my. Truck, that's the second best
2:02:29
one and we we were going out to a concert the other night and we
2:02:31
were like we all met up here and we were like why don't we just
2:02:34
take the van? Yeah, I was like, yeah, take the
2:02:36
van. So we all pile in the van, drive
2:02:38
down there, you know, let's go to the city.
2:02:39
All right, we'll just go to the. City.
2:02:41
Yeah, it's it's a fun time. I highly suggest getting a van
2:02:44
if you have a yeah, but it's got to be cool.
2:02:46
It's got to be a cool 4240 SXS in the city.
2:02:49
What? Concert do you think?
2:02:50
I think she had a warm. Tour or something?
2:02:52
Yeah. Definitely, but this one was a
2:02:54
A. Friend of mine a JS first show
2:02:56
for his band. So yeah, not what we were
2:02:58
expecting, but it was sick. We were.
2:03:00
We were literally in a small Mexican restaurant and they just
2:03:03
move everything out of the way and they just have the IT was
2:03:06
actually, I was sick. It was totally out of my
2:03:09
wheelhouse and. Dude, remember when I fell on my
2:03:12
face? Yeah, Carl was moshing in there.
2:03:14
Oh my God, dude. The ground was wet.
2:03:17
And I went to go push somebody. And I just went straight down
2:03:19
on. The ground and, you know, when
2:03:21
everybody looks at you like, oh, my God, is he all right?
2:03:23
Yeah. I stopped doing that after that.
2:03:25
Bliss ritual is the name of the band.
2:03:27
Oh, very good. Yeah.
2:03:28
Love concerts are the best. Yeah.
2:03:29
Age has been. AJ been playing music other
2:03:32
than. Drifting.
2:03:32
He's been playing music a lot. Ever.
2:03:34
Since like, ever since he was probably able to pick up a
2:03:37
guitar. So yeah, Logan picked up a
2:03:39
guitar today for the first time. Oh, really?
2:03:41
It's not a guitar bass, It's a. Bass.
2:03:44
Yeah, bass the music. Class I always.
2:03:46
Think bass would be easier because there's less?
2:03:47
Strings, but I don't think that's.
2:03:49
A fact the only. Other instrument you have to.
2:03:51
Like it was either that or the violin.
2:03:54
Lesson No, you're probably a good disorder.
2:03:57
No, although violins are crazy. I bet Malcolm would pick.
2:04:00
The violin over a base that's. Cool.
2:04:02
Yeah, that's a cool Instagram. I'd do it.
2:04:03
That's kind of smart. Yeah, but the violin sounds
2:04:06
like. Somebody who doesn't get Curry
2:04:07
fries, you did it again. We're going to that restaurant.
2:04:13
Logan's made a note of this. Where do you see yourself in 10
2:04:17
years? Oh gosh.
2:04:19
What does that put you at like 22?
2:04:21
2222 you just damn. You going to college winning 5.
2:04:25
FD. Titles in a row?
2:04:27
Wow, that's a lot for 20. Two.
2:04:28
Yeah. You'd have to start 2.
2:04:32
Years from now, you'd be. Solid you already.
2:04:34
Told me what you want to do when you're that age.
2:04:36
Yeah, I want to have a very shocked, you know, almost.
2:04:39
Something like this? OK.
2:04:41
A little. It'll be better than this.
2:04:42
Yeah. A lot of a lot of crush things
2:04:44
like. Go beyond.
2:04:46
This. No.
2:04:47
Do you remember that? Time.
2:04:48
Super life. I know exactly what.
2:04:49
You're talking about Yeah. Do you know who Nakai is?
2:04:51

2:04:53
RWBS and stuff. Oh yeah.
2:04:55
Yeah, Kamal, who does Super life, really top tier artist in
2:04:59
terms of body work. That's a good follow on the
2:05:01
best. The best I think walked up to
2:05:05
Nakai. When they were in Japan.
2:05:06
And he was like, he told them, I'm going to be better than you.
2:05:10
And I want to say that he is. So yeah.
2:05:13
I mean, I crushed his place. And you'll have Frankie.
2:05:15
I'm going to be better than you. And you can't stop me.
2:05:20
Listen, that's not how you apply for a job interview.
2:05:23
It's OK. I don't.
2:05:24
Want to work with the? 240, you know, whoa, whoa.
2:05:28
There's a lot of bone bodies subscribers fighting.
2:05:30
Work. He might have ruined that
2:05:32
internship. We'll see how it works out, no?
2:05:35
But this might open your. Your your American market,
2:05:37
right? Here, no American cars.
2:05:39
Come here. Oh, that's the Buick.
2:05:41
The Buick and the Logan's my own video.
2:05:43
I mean, that's all American guys.
2:05:45
Yeah, crazy. Yeah.
2:05:47
No, we, I mean we, we should have a couple more Mustangs in
2:05:49
here anyway. Yeah, I get.
2:05:51
It do tuning here, Frank? No, that's the other than paint.
2:05:55
That's the one thing we don't do, like row tuning.
2:05:56
Like Holly stuff or? Like, no, we don't.
2:05:59
We don't. We didn't get into any tuning.
2:06:01
Holly do Nissan. Well when they have V eights in
2:06:04
them, Holly does Nissan when? It's AKA.
2:06:08

2:06:10
Holly owns so many things. We met.
2:06:12
Yeah, they. Own nitrous they.
2:06:14
Own. They own everything.
2:06:14
Yeah, they're like a big. Umbrella corporation now I feel
2:06:17
like but. They invited us that to a Ford.
2:06:19
Fest, it was a lot of fun. That's cool.
2:06:21
That was where was that Logan? That was.
2:06:23
In Bowling Green, KY, where they make Corvettes.
2:06:26
Oh, I think I've seen some of those videos.
2:06:27
From that, that was that was fun that.
2:06:29
Was when like the hurricane? Hit really bad and oh wow.
2:06:34
It was just raining the whole time.
2:06:37
You guys what what, what V8 engine do you prefer?
2:06:41
Manufacturer. Noise only.
2:06:43
I'm not talking about anything else.
2:06:45
The sound. I shouldn't answer this Ford.
2:06:49
OK, the Cam Coyote. OK.
2:06:52
I agree, Coyote. I think.
2:06:54
I think. Four.
2:06:55
Yeah, definitely. I mean Logan.
2:06:58
Or two. 80. Nine with a really good Cam on
2:07:01
like a I don't know. Mustang sounds really good.
2:07:06
You should play B men G You can make all that stuff happen on B
2:07:08
men G Yeah. Is that like?
2:07:10
Another drifting. It's a game where you can just
2:07:12
edit anything. Realistic physics.
2:07:14
So if you crash. A car.
2:07:16
Oh, it's it like crumples up. Wow does it destroy the cartoon?
2:07:20
Like physically like. The the like everything drive
2:07:23
it. Wow, that sounds like see like
2:07:25
that makes me think like. I thought.
2:07:27
Video game was supposed to be fun.
2:07:29
No, but now they replicate life. So much it's like.
2:07:33
I get on the. Video games.
2:07:34
Every other night and get on the SIM and sweat profusely.
2:07:38
For an hour and a half. Yeah.
2:07:40
And I'm. I'm like sweaty.
2:07:42
And then I'm like, all right, I'm good.
2:07:44
I remember this one video. Go Kart.
2:07:46
It might be similar to your tractor game.
2:07:48
I remember one game where it was like.
2:07:49
This, this is when I knew the world was different.
2:07:53
It was like, oh, Oh yeah, he plays like Malcolm knows what
2:07:56
I'm talking about, Probably with the 18 Wheeler game where you
2:07:58
just drive truck simulator, drive trucks across the country
2:08:02
and you're sitting on the highway driving.
2:08:04
Straight and it's a video game and.
2:08:05
I'm like, what are we doing? And you got to abide by the
2:08:08
laws. You get a ticket, you get fines
2:08:10
and you like ruins your margin. How do you have fun doing this
2:08:12
like? People will be up all night
2:08:13
doing this. I'm like, why don't you just try
2:08:15
to go get your? CDL.
2:08:17
Yeah, I guess, right. Like that would be better.
2:08:18
Then you're going to get paid to do it, you know, I don't know.
2:08:21
That kind of stuff. Blows my mind.
2:08:23
Is that kind of like your tractor game?
2:08:24
Like you're just somewhere? Yeah, I think the same like
2:08:26
you're farm like you're doing things that like our jobs.
2:08:29
Yeah, Yeah, OK. Yeah, it's.
2:08:31
Just interesting, but what are your future goals and
2:08:36
aspirations in drifting when a lot of championships?
2:08:42
OK, so you want. To do competition stuff, yes, I
2:08:44
want to do a lot in FD and I want.
2:08:47
To like expand. The Fox body world because a lot
2:08:51
of people drift fox body Mustangs but there's none in FD
2:08:55
like I've never been and I want to expand that has there never
2:08:58
been 1 I don't want the fox body is like the American.
2:09:03
AE86 almost I feel like. Yeah, that's a good, that's a
2:09:06
good way to put it. It kind of is, yeah.
2:09:08
Or 240. No, but the last 240 that won in
2:09:11
FD was at Daigo. Yoshihara, right?
2:09:14
I feel like he wanted. One hell.
2:09:15
Yeah, yeah. With the V8 S 13 with AV8, yeah.
2:09:20
Well, it's we'll see. I think I.
2:09:23
Think. I'm gonna just hope Jeff
2:09:26
Stoneback wins. And no, he's got, he's got good
2:09:33
things. Going for Jeff.
2:09:34
Hopefully stone back to an FD. Isn't he pro pro spec?
2:09:38
Is he really? You didn't look.
2:09:40
At this at all, I didn't. Even know I saw it on the FD.
2:09:42
I don't. Yeah, it's on the FD roll call.
2:09:44
Just as Jeff Stone. Oh my.
2:09:46
God, I had no. Idea why?
2:09:47
What? You know how I.
2:09:48
Didn't know that legend. I remember I didn't know how to
2:09:50
like. Batten down my my car one time
2:09:53
at RT. Tuning and you just helped me do
2:09:55
the whole thing. Yeah, he's a nice guy.
2:09:57
I love Jeff. Still hasn't done a podcast.
2:09:59
I feel like he's a. Kids might do drifting maybe or.
2:10:01
Something 100. Percent.
2:10:02
Yeah, yeah. Ari.
2:10:03
Ari drove. Oh, did she drive?
2:10:05
We were at a track day or we were at a.
2:10:06
Private day at are you? Crazy Jeff's going a couple and
2:10:10
then all of a sudden I see the helmet drop and I was like what?
2:10:17
And then, you know, it's she came and see over the Yeah and
2:10:20
like it's just normal driving and then the next lap.
2:10:23
Drift like what? That's wild.
2:10:25
Dude, that's crazy. It's alright, dude.
2:10:28
Like, did you expect anything less?
2:10:29
It's crazy that these kids are so.
2:10:31
Good at your thing or yeah, in Europe like these?
2:10:34
Kids drift in like 6 years of age in Greece and stuff.
2:10:38

2:10:43

2:10:43
Cool. You're cooler, though.
2:10:44
He's got Pele extenders. They didn't know how to fix your
2:10:47
car like you. Yeah.
2:10:48
That is true. Weld no one, no one can dude I.
2:10:51
Can't Weld 31. It's hard on very.
2:10:54
Thin metal? I wouldn't know that pretty.
2:10:58
Much ends the questions. Thank you guys so much for
2:11:02
coming. Amazing.
2:11:03
This is wild. Yeah, you held a conversation
2:11:05
better than. Most people.
2:11:07
That's good. Just to let you know you were
2:11:09
asking questions. You roasted Malcolm, at least.
2:11:12
Three times. That's like, yeah, no Curry.
2:11:14
Chips over there, I see. Yeah.
2:11:16
We're going to Murphy's. Come on.
2:11:17
All right, so. How far?
2:11:18
How far is that from you guys? Murphy's.
2:11:21
Just up the road to the subway. All right, we'll.
2:11:22
Hit you up. We'll hit you up when we when we
2:11:24
decide. We got lots of room in the
2:11:25
Galaxy. Nine people in there, that would
2:11:26
be cool. Thank.
2:11:27
You for coming on? Yeah.
2:11:28
It's a pleasure meeting you. It's great.
2:11:29
To come out of the city, Well, we'll do this again in like 5
2:11:31
years. We'll see.
2:11:32
Or five years, probably. Probably I'll literally.
2:11:35
See a race head drift this season?
2:11:36
Yeah, you know what? Never mind.
2:11:37
We'll do. This in a.
2:11:38
Year because you'll. Probably be drifting by then and
2:11:40
like that, yeah, it's so. Weird.
2:11:43
Reese literally started off like you.
2:11:45
Yeah. 12 years old. Yeah.
2:11:46
Crazy. We would.
2:11:47
We would see him had a freaking crazy haircut.
2:11:50
It's in the documentary. That they.
2:11:52
Made on YouTube of him and it's like his journey to pro.
2:11:55
I did not because now I'm friends with Reese.
2:11:57
So now me watching the documentary is.
2:12:00
Like I'm just going to like, make fun of him the whole time.
2:12:03
I think I've heard of that though.
2:12:04
Reese, if you have. Any questions?
2:12:06
That. Guy is.
2:12:08
More than, well, like. He's the most helpful guy.
2:12:10
Oh, he's really cool. We hung him a few times.
2:12:12
Yeah. And Ford Fest Carlisle.
2:12:14
Yep, has. I think he shares some of the
2:12:16
same sponsors too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like Holly as
2:12:19
well. Yeah, I.
2:12:20
Think like all those like we got Logan got an Optima battery sent
2:12:23
and like a. Lot of coast of Holly wiring
2:12:26
harness hell yeah suspension but but we watched him 12 years old
2:12:30
at that event event Daryl. Like gave him pointers.
2:12:33
And then years down the line now he's I keep telling him like
2:12:37
you're going to be the most successful one out of all of us.
2:12:39
But their family's into it. Their like their family's, so
2:12:42
supportive like their sister, mother.
2:12:44
The father, they're all hopping in the car, going cross country.
2:12:46
Legendary. When you have that support, it's
2:12:48
good. Yeah.
2:12:50
Yeah, we have. We have a podcast.
2:12:51
You got that with a guy named Colin from Texas.
2:12:54
And he started young too, but he wasn't that young.
2:12:56
That's like, that's different, right?
2:12:59
Colin was probably like, dude, he 15.
2:13:02
No, he was kind of the same same.
2:13:04
So you might want to listen to that one that that.
2:13:05
That's a good conversation suit. And he, he's very.
2:13:08
OCD as well. So he goes through, he tells us
2:13:10
his whole thing, like all the way through.
2:13:13
So you get to see like, I think he bought his car at 14.
2:13:18
Yeah. And he did competition driving.
2:13:19
So it might be. To listen to it, yeah, but
2:13:22
that's coming. Out soon, so I wonder where your
2:13:24
corruption will be in this journey because then he.
2:13:29
Was doing competition driving right and he had a BMW.
2:13:33
Yeah, but he always very results based car like a BMW was tuned
2:13:39
to be. That kind of driving.
2:13:42
But he always had his eye on the Japanese stuff in the two 40s
2:13:45
and then eventually I think it was when.
2:13:47
He moved to Texas. That was Jimmy.
2:13:49
It might have been Jimmy. Yeah.
2:13:50
It was Jimmy. Yeah, from Knuckle Love in.
2:13:53
Texas they they. Corrupted him and before you
2:13:55
know it, competition stuffs out the window.
2:13:57
He's got rid of the beamer, and now he's just doing cool JDM
2:14:00
drifting like everyone else. He he's, he likes to be anything
2:14:03
that he did is the best he. Can do.
2:14:06
Oh yeah, he's very even the even the Japanese car that he made,
2:14:10
although it's not in competition, it's the best.
2:14:12
He can do. It looks so, so good.
2:14:14
It's perfect. That's the only way you're going
2:14:15
to be successful. Yeah.
2:14:17
Has Faction ever gone out? To Japan for like I've been
2:14:19
there we've. Both been there, just different
2:14:21
times. Just different times.
2:14:22
But I went out with the front. Street guys like 2 years ago.
2:14:24
Cool. It was.
2:14:25
Yeah, it was cool. You rent out a car, What'd you
2:14:27
do? I didn't do.
2:14:28
I didn't do any driving but it seems very easy.
2:14:30
Boring, yeah. Boring.
2:14:32
I I'm pretty boring, Logan, unfortunately.
2:14:35
But what did you do in Japan? Logan went there.
2:14:36
Just drive that's. What I do, I drove a car for a
2:14:39
little bit. Oh cool, that's it, I didn't
2:14:41
drift. I didn't want to drift.
2:14:43
Yeah, when you don't have your own car, then it's kind of
2:14:45
weird. All I can think about is because
2:14:47
your friends. Will be yo drive my car, yeah.
2:14:50
I have the worst luck. And although everyone will say
2:14:54
it's all right if I'm the reason why we have to stop driving and
2:14:58
stop having a good time. Yeah, because I couldn't contain
2:15:01
myself. I I couldn't live with that.
2:15:04
I think next time or next time we go out, we'll, we'll, we'll.
2:15:06
Figure out a way to drive and. And do it then no.
2:15:09
Next time buying a motorcycle, this guy wants to bring his car
2:15:11
over. No, I want to buy a motorcycle.
2:15:13
Well, yeah, we should do that too.
2:15:15
But yeah, that would that would be.
2:15:16
Fun, yeah. Do you think you guys go to
2:15:17
Japan one day? Oh yeah, that's the plan.
2:15:19
You got to be. 18 though driving Japan.
2:15:21
OK, I thought it was 14. No.
2:15:23
No looking up the wrong rules. Just drive AK truck.
2:15:26
Yeah, I mean. A dream of mine would be just to
2:15:28
go out there, buy like some. Wrecked up Chaser.
2:15:31
To ship it back to America. I've been talking to some
2:15:34
people. It's it's, it's not a lot of
2:15:36
money to just get a chaser at Yeah.
2:15:38
Abisu and yeah, if that's what your goal is, is to just drift
2:15:41
just you can literally buy it right there and hang on these
2:15:44
midnight. Like circles, you know?
2:15:45
Yeah, I know that dude. I can help you there.
2:15:48
That sounds but you. Got to know people there.
2:15:49
Yeah, that's sort of like you got to.
2:15:50
Know because yeah, it's not easy to get a car.
2:15:53
And like street drive it over there.
2:15:55
It's not it's. I mean, you can.
2:15:57
There's rental companies you can do.
2:15:58
I want to do that at minimum next time I get a get a cool.
2:16:01
I know someone out there right now.
2:16:02
He just rented that like a Porsche, but he he did a Skyline
2:16:05
last time. Or that's what I want.
2:16:06
To do. That's really cool, yeah.
2:16:08
Or you can get like the R34 blue, yes, that's what I want,
2:16:11
yeah. Yeah, there are ways to do it,
2:16:13
but like Japan's. They, I mean, I don't know, I
2:16:18
I've never been outside this country except that time really.
2:16:21
So I don't know how it is in other.
2:16:22
Countries, but it's like. It doesn't seem easy to just
2:16:24
like go there and get a car. And, and not to mention they
2:16:27
don't, they're not really, it's not easy to drive an old car in
2:16:30
Japan period. Like they, they want you to kind
2:16:33
of get rid of those things. And that's why they all get
2:16:36
shipped out after 55,000 kilometers.
2:16:37
They all go to Ireland, UK, Australia.
2:16:39
You got to like pay more. Money to have an older car and
2:16:42
oh, so they're all in Ireland. Yeah, I'm about to look at.
2:16:47
The Yahoo auctions in Ireland, Ireland seemed pretty lenient
2:16:50
with some stuff I guess when it comes to cars, but maybe I'm
2:16:53
completely. Wrong.
2:16:54
No, you know, you are to an extent, but like I'm so happy I
2:16:58
moved to America because. Yeah, the way I worked and when
2:17:00
I was growing up in Ireland, insurance was colossal.
2:17:02
You could not get anything over 1.8 liter without it costing 4
2:17:06
1/2, five, $6000 a year in insurance, what the government
2:17:11
would tax heavily ending over 1.8 liters.
2:17:13
So I had a three litre like a are you have out there the Z31
2:17:17
and I had to keep it under English registration, English
2:17:20
address, English insurance because there's no way that the
2:17:23
tax in that car would have been like $5000.
2:17:25
And what is the benefit for them for for that?
2:17:28
Like why would? It was just not a way for I
2:17:30
guess the. Government to tax people you
2:17:31
know, there wasn't really property taxes.
2:17:33
In Ireland growing up, wow, property tax.
2:17:36
Then we brought that in recently like someone with a big house
2:17:39
would have would be property taxes would be like 5-6 hundred
2:17:42
dollars let's say yeah, but so government would taxing pretty
2:17:45
heavy on like petrol, gasoline and anything like Rd. tax and
2:17:52
stuff like that. So it didn't have anything to do
2:17:54
with like the environment or anything back then.
2:17:56
No, they wanted to help the environment they're.
2:17:57
All about the environment the EU is all about everyone should
2:18:00
drive A1 litre car. Yeah, that's, that's what I
2:18:02
thought maybe or or at least that's what they say.
2:18:03
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we ship over.
2:18:06
A5 litre. Hey, that's great.
2:18:13
That's great. Thanks for every.
2:18:14

2:25:02
many do we have left available for purchase?
2:25:04
I would say maybe 10 or less. Less than 10.
2:25:09
Eddie, do you know off? You know that number exactly.
2:25:11
He's like, hell no, I don't know the number.
2:25:12
OK. It's not a lot.
2:25:14
I can tell you that I thought it was.
2:25:16
Less than I thought it was like 5 it could be here.
2:25:19
So we had a lot of seats coming and now we have. 5 coming, so if
2:25:23
you guys want. To grab one of these thrash
2:25:25
racing seats, They, they, it's a long wait.
