This podcast is sponsored by East Coast Drift School.
1:38
East Coast Drift School is a driving school focused on
1:41
learning the art of drifting, conveniently located at the
1:44
greatest drifting facility in the United States, Raceway Park
1:47
in Englishtown, NJ. Raceway Park currently has three
1:50
tracks, so you will have a few options to choose from when
1:52
setting up your lessons. Chris Knapp, who is part of the
1:55
Raceway Park family, will be your teacher as he guides you
1:57
through car setup and technique. If you are more of a seasoned
2:00
driver, E Coaster School is also the place where you can get some
2:03
extra seat time. Chris allows private track time
2:05
but no instructing as well so that you can get some test and
2:08
tune runs in before that big event or competition you have
2:11
coming up. Instead of spending the night
2:12
dodging the police with your boys, consider signing up with
2:15
East Coast Drift School the next time they release their
2:17
schedule. Chris releases the schedule on
2:19
the 16th of every month through Instagram.

Chase Bays has been a household name in our industry for over 15
2:32
years, supplying us with tons of fluid power products such as
2:36
power steering cooler kits, oil catch cans, engine oil coolers,
2:40
hydraulic handbrake kits, and of course their dual piston brake
2:44
booster delete kits which fit a wide variety of vehicles.
2:47
The core values of Chase Bays is function, simplicity, quality,
2:51
quality and aesthetic. All of their products are user
2:54
friendly and easy to install while of course looking the
2:57
part. The quality of their products
2:59
has only increased over the years and now with Front Street
3:01
Drift Club being a sponsored team of Chase Bays, you can
3:04
guarantee the products are stress tested as well.
3:08
I'm currently digging their compact intercooler sprayer
3:10
reservoir kit. This kit includes a pump and
3:12
pigtail to wire it up to any switch you want.
3:15
I've been a big fan of sleek looking OEM style intercooler
3:18
sprayers ever since Subaru had one on the STI and this kit
3:21
provides you with what you need to get started.
3:24
If you need any more info on any of their products, make sure to
3:27
take a look at their product descriptions.
3:29
They have some of the most detailed descriptions I've read
3:31
with tons of information. You can check out Chase Bay's
3:34
products and place your orders directly on our website at
3:37
factionmotorsports.com. And make sure to use the coupon
3:40
code Chase Bay's After Hours with no spaces to save on
3:44
checkout. This podcast is also sponsored
3:47
by Automotive Specialty Wraps. Automotive Specialty Wraps is a
3:50
company specializing in paint protection, film vehicle wraps,
3:53
ceramic coatings, and window tinting located in Fairlawn, New
3:56
Jersey. Owned and operated by car
3:59
enthusiasts and Drifters, their technicians have over 10 years
4:01
of experience in the industry. Ceramic coating is one of their
4:04
specialities and is the service they offer that caught my eye
4:07
first. In the 60s, NASA and the US
4:10
military formulated a ceramic coating to be used on spacecraft
4:13
and planes. This coating would be able to
4:16
protect them from harsh conditions.
4:18
Following that, in the early 2000s, ceramic coatings were
4:22
revamped to be used in the automotive industry.
4:25
These coatings give your cars paint extra protection while
4:28
also making it shine. Wax only last for a couple of
4:31
weeks at most, but ceramic coatings last for a year or
4:33
longer. They perform a full 2 stage
4:36
Polish to the car beforehand to make sure the vehicle is in
4:39
perfect condition before applying the coating.
4:41
This service can also be applied to wheels, which would be the
4:44
best thing you can do to a new set of wheels you just picked up
4:46
if you are looking to protect them for years to come.
4:49
As mentioned, they also offer window tinting and paint
4:51
protection film installations. Now everyone knows what window
4:54
tinting is, but these guys offer carbon or ceramic tinting
4:58
depending on your needs. Paint protection film or PPF is
5:01
a great idea for those new vehicle owners that want to
5:04
protect their paint before it gets chipped up driving down the
5:07
highway. I always suggest having at least
5:09
the front end done in PPF like the front bumper, fenders and
5:13
hood. ASW is now offering mobile
5:15
detailing and this is no basic car wash, it's more of a 2 hour
5:19
spa session for your car using special soaps designed to
5:22
extract toxins out of your paint.
5:24
And the best part is they will come to your house, job or even
5:27
our shop when your car is being serviced to get the wash done.
5:30
From protecting your tow rigs exterior to full delivery
5:33
installations on your drift car, they have you covered.
5:36
You can contact them at automotive specialtywraps.com
5:39
and make sure to mention our podcast.
5:41
They are currently offering 10% off mobile washes and tinting
5:44
services for our listeners. Limitless Auto Fab is a
5:47
fabrication shop and retailer located in Illinois.
5:50
They produce bash bars and catch cans for a bunch of popular
5:53
models in the drifting community.
5:55
We started selling their products earlier this year and
5:58
have heard nothing but great things since.
6:00
Limitless bash bars are honestly the industry standard right now.
6:03
Fabricated from inch and a half mild steel tubes, these bars are
6:06
designed to take the impact of light collisions in order to
6:09
avoid or minimize damage to your body or frame.
6:12
My favorite part about these bash bars is that they are
6:14
designed in a way that helps hold most aftermarket bumpers up
6:17
at the correct height, unlike a lot of other aftermarket bars
6:20
that require you to either Weld additional brackets on or
6:23
install those big foam rubber pieces to raise the bumpers up
6:26
to avoid bumper sag. This is a huge pet peeve of mine
6:30
when installing bash bars at the shop, so I'm really glad about
6:33
this feature. Gone are the days of trying to
6:36
keep your rusty rear factory crash bar because you are
6:39
worried about bumper fitment issues with an aftermarket one.
6:42
Their bars also come with jacking points and an optional
6:44
license plate brackets, so everything you need is right
6:47
there from the start. Limitless Auto also sells catch
6:50
cans for a handful of specific models.
6:52
These cans are built in house and chassis specific.
6:55
We have used these cans before in the shop with no issues and
6:58
they look great as well. The guys over at Limitless are
7:01
on social media as well at Limitless under score Auto under
7:05
score Fab. So please make sure to check out
7:07
their Instagram and give them a follow.
7:09
They post photos of all the drift cards using their products
7:12
from Front Street Drift Club to Animal Style.

Well, welcome everybody to the Faction After Hours podcast.
8:32
We're here to bring you another episode tonight.
8:34
We have another guest. We have Amin from Fab Auto, a
8:38
local performance shop. Performance slash powder coat
8:41
slash what would you what would you describe your shop?
8:44
We focus mostly on powder coating.
8:47
We like to do a little bit of everything.
8:49
You know, as much as we all like to be like one stop shop, it's
8:53
trying to like delegate everything help or grass roots.
8:56
So like we're trying to help you get your car where you want it.
8:59
So, yeah, yeah. Powder coat is a good thing too,
9:03
yeah. Your shop's been around for
9:06
moderate amount of time. Like I think when I got into
9:08
cars, like you guys were already, so that was like 20.
9:12
Yeah, 1315. When you start when you start to
9:15
so. Officially 2014.
9:17
We started in 2013. When we started like that was
9:21
our idea, and before that we had another shop with our buddies.
9:26
That's really how it started. Yeah.
9:28
OK. So all right, I want to hear
9:30
about the buddies stuff because how does that roll into, I'm
9:36
gonna call it a successful business because.
9:38
Definitely. I hear, I hear your name, that
9:41
that company for powder coating all the time, like I pretty much
9:45
suggested almost any other time. Somebody asked me, Yeah.
9:49
So how does it just snowball into that?
9:53
You took the leap. Like, yeah, so I took the leap
9:57
because most of my family is, like, business oriented and I'm
10:00
a lazy sack of shit. Wild.
10:03
Yeah, look at you. Now, yeah, if I, yeah, if I, if
10:07
I worked for you, I wouldn't be on time, that's for sure.
10:10
I can agree with that, yeah. It's probably barely for myself,
10:13
but I've made it. I've made it work.
10:17
First it was just, you know, buddies.
10:19
High school as all of us, we get together, bought some cars,
10:24
thought this one's cool. We.
10:26
I started with a Ford Contour SVT.
10:29
That's what I love. Yeah.
10:31
Yeah. Can you?
10:32
Bring a photo of. That yo-yo, yo-yo yo.
10:35
Yeah, a lot of people probably don't even know what this car
10:37
looks like. I.
10:37
Don't know. I don't see.
10:38
One the other day. Probably an escort or a Taurus.
10:42
You know, it's exactly the same. Yeah, but it says.
10:44
Contour. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:47
Oh yeah. So first one is a.
10:49
First one is on COSAS. Oh yeah, that one.
10:53
That one is pretty dope, yeah. So you were into these?
10:56
I was into these actually, my buddies dad had a V, they're all
11:00
for the most part they have a 4 cylinder 4 banger but he had a
11:04
V6 and we're like all this shit sounds so cool you know?
11:08
It's NA. Or is it turbo?
11:09
It's NA mine. I ended up turboing and doing
11:12
everything so pretty fun car honestly.
11:16
It was supposed to be a like M3 killer really.
11:20
Yeah, yeah, E36, it was supposed to be the M3 killed.
11:25
Then E46 came on and was like, yeah, right.
11:27
Yeah, but. Then didn't they also have that?
11:29
What was the the Taurus show or something?
11:32
Yeah, the SHO yeah, yeah, that was a dud.
11:35
I I think yeah, but I mean, I just.
11:37
Remember, like some kid had that in high school.
11:39
He was like, yo, I got a Ford show.
11:40
I was like, what? Yeah, 2000, that was me.
11:43
But with this car? Yeah, I mean this is.
11:45
This is rare to me. Yeah, yeah, honestly, like this,
11:49
if it hasn't popped up, wow, there it is.
11:51
There's one right there. I was going to say, there's got
11:53
to be an auction where like an auction picture on here and
11:58
there it is. Cars and bids.
11:59
There's one Haggerty. There's another one like.
12:02
Yeah, they're pretty cheap cars, but I don't know, they're still
12:04
pretty cool. They sound.
12:05
Pretty great. Yeah, they really do look.
12:07
Like, oh, no, no way. Amin is now figuring out that
12:13
oh. No, thank you.
12:17
I'm over it. It is interesting, they do kind
12:18
of look like Taurus as you said, right or something?
12:22
Yeah, most people don't say contour.
12:24
They're like, what is that a Taurus or escort I've?
12:27
Actually never seen. I mean we.
12:28
Kind of know, but. Those side skirts work on a lot
12:31
of our cars. The rear Malcolm.
12:33
You see the side skirts, you see how they're nice and straight
12:35
like that? Freaking robots.
12:37
OK, wait. Hard.
12:38
SVT, but it's just a four banger.
12:39
Hard no. This is the SVT is a 6V6.
12:42
This is AV 6 and this is the model you had.
12:44
Yeah, yeah, yeah, my boy had, my boy's dad had like the base and
12:48
we're like, oh, this is so freaking cool.
12:51
And then I'm like, I one up, I'm going to get the nice, the, the
12:55
dopest one they got. So the first one my mom helped
13:01
me buy in Maryland, we drove all the way down.
13:04
I don't know how to drive stick shift.
13:06
This these only come in stick shift.
13:08
And I mean, the only place I had a little Logitech gaming rig at
13:13
my house built out of wood and a civic seat.
13:17
That's my, that was the stick shift that I learned.
13:20
Anyways, first one I bought. Hopefully they're not listening
13:23
to this I121 and blew the motor. No, you money shifted.
13:31
Yeah, no, yeah, yeah. So after I paid right And then I
13:37
oil everywhere. That's a good story.
13:40
Yeah, it sucked. And like, we called back and
13:43
we're like, bro, this car's a dud.
13:46
I was broken. Oh my God.
13:50
Which is crazy because they just handed us our check back.
13:54
Wow. And took the car back.
13:57
The reason why we got away with it, it only takes 93.
14:00
They put 87 or whatever regular in it so.
14:03
They thought they blew it up. So they thought they blew it up.
14:05
I'm like, did you guys put the right fuel into it?
14:07
I want to see. And they're like, oh shit.
14:11
And here's your check. Bag I wish, I wish there were.
14:13
You had a camera in the car when you did that.
14:15
Shit dude literally he's like here's the key go take it for a
14:19
test drive. I do like half a burnout, like
14:23
A1 sided one wheel burnout out of the driveway.
14:27
Go around. I'm like, oh this is not bad.
14:29
Stick shift is bad. Easy drive around.
14:32
OK, then we pay for it. We want the car, we love it,
14:35
it's clean. And then I'm like, I know how to
14:38
drive one to one baby that is. That sucks.
14:45
That is got to be. That was your.
14:47
First car buying experience. Oh yeah, yeah, first car.
14:52
But you found another one. I found another one nicer.
14:57
So yeah, it worked out That one I went all in with, did
15:01
everything I could to it, everything I could afford,
15:04
turbo, blah blah blah. That was that was fun and that
15:08
turned into my other buddy buying one and then my other
15:12
buddy buying one. Okay so that's three of that
15:15
work. Silly thing is running around.
15:17
Yeah, it's funny. Yeah, if you check the shop out,
15:20
probably. Yeah, yeah.
15:23
That's. Going on.
15:24
I was like the same thing with us, but we had two 40s, yeah.
15:26
Yeah, yeah. So anyways, we had like a crew.
15:31
We called it TSTTS traction. OK team St. traction.
15:35
What do I feel like? I Yeah.
15:36
Why do I feel like I? Yeah, wait.
15:38
No way. I've heard I'm thinking of
15:39

15:41
About Oh yeah, Oh, Tri-state Tuners, the forum.
15:44
The forum. Wow.

15:47

15:57
You guys look. Maybe the same age, maybe you
16:00

16:02
Like, I don't know what to say about that.
16:05
Carl just turned 30. I used to comment.
16:07
Not yet. I turn 30 next week.
16:09
Oh my God, Carl, I'm cranking. It's coming.
16:12
Cranking. This is the best I've ever felt
16:13
in my what? The hell I got to shut that off.
16:17
That was the craziest. Was that Metal Gear Solid?
16:20
What the hell was that? That's my wife.
16:22
Oh no, my God. Carl's scared of the.
16:25
Fucking. That was crazy, yeah, but that.
16:27
Hit me too. Are you in trouble?
16:31
You. Could No, no, no.
16:31
It's all good. It's all.
16:32
Good. No.
16:33
Yeah, I turned, but I I've never felt as great good fucking
16:37
working around. This is the prime.
16:39
Somebody's been a lot of people have been telling me that 30.
16:42
3435 that's prime bro. Yeah, 30.
16:46
At me, you're like, this is your last chance.
16:50
If you don't take care of your body, it's over.
16:54
That is, that is really depressing actually.
16:57
I feel good because I am taking care.
16:59
Of yeah, I'm. So like, I'm for me, this is my
17:02
prime because I at this time, like you get a smack on the head
17:05
thing, you know, like 40s come in, you know, take care of, take
17:09
care of yourself. You know.
17:10
You felt like that at 29 for a minute and then once 30.
17:12
Yeah, 39. Yeah, you're good.
17:15
Don't worry about it. Cool. 40-50 though I don't know
17:17
about that. That's gonna.
17:18
Be great. We'll see about that.
17:20
Yeah. So TST happened.
17:22
TST happened. There's just the the guys, the
17:25
brothers, so on and so forth. Guys from high school, some of
17:28
the brothers and we just, we're having fun.
17:32
We rented a little shed for like $20 each at that time or
17:39
whatever it was, or $100 each or whatever, and we would work on
17:43
our cars outside and eventually we got a little shop because it
17:51
was like 1000 bucks. It was really cheap and we're
17:53
like, yo, $200 each, 55 people, six people, whatever.
17:57
We have our cars in a nice spot, a safe spot, and we could work
18:00
on cars. Eventually that turned into
18:02
like, hey, you work on cars, you know, can you do this for me?
18:06
Can you do that for me? At that time I was doing a lot
18:08
of Fender rolling. Oh yeah, he does a lot of Fender
18:12
rolling. Dude, I have a brace.
18:13
Shirt yeah, that's the one thing I still like it doesn't make any
18:17
money but I enjoy like just. Yeah.
18:20
Touching the car. That's like the one thing I hate
18:23
doing, and I'd probably send you a lot of work because I'm just
18:25
like, I don't want to, you know what it is?
18:27
It's the paint thing. Like, yeah.
18:29
It's so scary. I mean, it can happen.
18:31
Yeah, I guess you just got to tell them like.
18:33
The name of the game happen if you don't like it, get wheels
18:36
that fit. Yeah, that's usually what I tell
18:38
them. It's you have to be blunt on
18:40
that stuff. And I got lucky with one of the
18:45
my boy's younger brother, Ahmed, he did a lot of he got into two
18:51
40s. So he was like the drift guy.
18:53
He would hang out with guys like now it's koi works, but BM, I
18:57
was going to say BMDC and before that.
19:00
I knew. I knew him, yeah, for sure.
19:02
Yeah, so I would find the roll a good bit of those guys, and
19:06
they're just like, just make my wheels fit.
19:08
Yeah, yeah, here's a pizza. You know, like.
19:11
And I'm like, all right, cool. Freed education, pretty much.
19:14
And I learned from stuff like that, yeah.
19:16
Those are the best cars to learn on too.
19:18
Yeah. They nobody care about the
19:19
paint. Yeah, it was.
19:20
It was all missiles. Now you can't.
19:21
You can't get these cars for for those prices.
19:24
You have like AR-34 GTR, like hey, can you can you roll my
19:28
fenders really quick? It's Bayside Blue, but it's.
19:32
It's still, it happens Now I get cars like that.
19:34
I'm like. And it's always a Subaru.
19:36
Yeah. Hey, can you roll my fenders?
19:38
Yeah, it's going to crack, though.
19:39
The pain's probably going to crack.
19:40
So like, do you really want to do this?
19:42
I made Frankie roll my fenders on my IS telling me the same
19:47
thing. Do you remember that?
19:48
Yeah. He was like, I don't roll
19:50
fenders. Yeah, like I'll do it for my
19:52
friends 'cause I'm like, yeah, whatever.
19:54
And I tell them like, look, this might not go the right way, but
19:57
you know, but it is fun. I get what you're saying like.
19:59
Yeah, that was it. It it's not really.
20:01
It's just relaxing. It's from.
20:02
Yeah, it's like I I pull my headphones on and I just.
20:06
I just go at it and nobody bothers me.
20:09
Like it just wastes time. It's I really shouldn't even do
20:12
it. But yeah, it's what would.
20:15
You charge for something like that.
20:16
We charge like 100 bucks a corner and then we go up from
20:20
there. So 100 bucks a wheel, whatever
20:22
you want to call it. I call it corner.
20:24
I've always wondered because I when trying to make prices for
20:26
rolling fenders I'm like I don't fucking know.
20:28
No, no you should. You should be at like $100 a
20:31
corner at least if not more. Some cars are annoying.
20:34
They have like rubber cement on the side and yeah, a lot of the
20:39
BMWs and stuff like you have to cut them instead of rolling
20:43
them. Yeah, grinding them.
20:46
Why? Why is that?
20:47
I don't know. I'm assuming it's for some type
20:50
of, but you can't touch. On the color like you can't roll
20:52
it, you have to pretty much cut it.
20:53
Yeah. So on.
20:54
Let's say like E46, Yeah, on the edge, the L, the edge inside
21:01
they have like, I guess it's a protective coating.
21:03
It's like rubber cement or something like that.
21:05
If you yeah, seams healer. I guess if you roll it, it kind
21:08
of gives you a big circle instead of a flat, you know?
21:12
OK, so you have to grind all that crap out, which is nasty.
21:16
Yeah, yeah, super nasty. I hope you're wearing your
21:18
proper PBE for that. Oh yeah.
21:21
Oh yeah. Yeah, my face.
21:24
OSHA just came by our pocket. I work at A at A at a Body Shop
21:28
now and OSHA came by the other day and I was like sanding
21:32
something. Don't say that word around here.
21:35
Look man wait till you saw the inside and what I was doing bro
21:38
I was literally like taking fucking filler down.
21:40
They said something to you. No.
21:42
Oh. OK, it was a girl.
21:43
She was pretty cute, but she I was taking some filler down and
21:46
she was like, you don't have a respirator.
21:48
And I'm like. Wow, so she did.
21:52
Say something and. She was like, it's fine.
21:55
Just like, you know, you should really be wearing that.
21:57
Oh my God, yeah. Sorry to to distract from the
22:00
story. Yeah, no.
22:01
I like learning. No, yeah, that grinding that
22:05
stuff off. I was going to tell you an if
22:08
it's $100, at least if it's per corner, right.
22:11
Let's say you you're doing this corner.
22:12
It takes you an hour, hour and a half.
22:15
That's at least $100. Yeah, yeah.
22:17
No, it's it's. Your time, your knowledge, your
22:19
effort. Like that's why people would go
22:21
to FAP. You know you've been doing this
22:22
stuff for years. I'm going to you.
22:23
Yeah, You know, Yeah. That's usually what I tell
22:26
people about an hour corner. It's usually a little faster
22:28
than that, but better give them worst.
22:30
Yeah. And that that comes with that's
22:32
only, that's because it's you, you know what I mean?
22:34
Like I can't let anybody tell the guys.
22:36
It's like it's probably going to get messed up.
22:38
You know, but so then threaten to roll in.
22:42
Then you got into you. You offer how?
22:44
The hell did that? Happen, yeah.
22:45
So aside from the shop like again snowballing even larger to
22:50
like a business. So now I'm friends with these
22:53
guys. Before they were our
22:54
competition, but I went to our competition and I was like, hey,
22:58
I want a powder coat. Everything on my contour, how
23:02
much is it going to be? And they're like $6000 or
23:06
whatever. I'm like, Oh yeah, I'm broke and
23:10
it's I'm not doing that. So I just, I went and I bought
23:14
like an Eastwood powder coater again with all the guys at the
23:17
time, it was like $200. I'm like, damn, I'm in high
23:22
school or you know, or just out of high school.
23:24
Like I'm, I barely got a job and I'm like, I'm telling all the
23:28
guys, yo, if we put $25 together each, we could buy this powder
23:31
coating gun. Yo, you so far you've been the
23:34
whole this, you're the instigator.
23:37
Like, yo, yeah, Oh yeah, the idea guy.
23:39
Yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm broke, but I got the idea that.
23:42
Yo, yeah. That's me and you got to
23:44
convince everyone. That it'll be.
23:45
Yeah, yeah. Come on.
23:46
It'll be good. Oh, that's not me.
23:47
I I. That's me I.
23:49
I do not have the power to do that.
23:51
I can't make my friends do anything they don't want to do.
23:53
I mean. Listen to your story.
23:55
It's the same way here. Because we had we had three
23:56
people splitting the shop over there when we first got it.
23:58
It was more like just we got we finally had a space to work on
24:02
all of our cars. Yeah.
24:03
Yeah. It's the same thing.
24:03
Oh. Absolutely feel.
24:04
Like that's how a lot of people start.
24:05
That's kind of insane, now that I think about it.
24:08
Like that was a sick shot and then.
24:10
People just fall one by one. Yeah, I gotta get.
24:12
Yeah, I'm out of this. Yeah, I'm out.
24:13
Yeah. And you're like, oops, I have my
24:15
own shot. Yeah.
24:16
That's what. Happened, although same thing
24:18
and and it's it what's nice is in our story as we've grown
24:23
older, we're still friends. Yeah, yeah.
24:25
So a lot of guys it it turns into something nasty, you know,
24:29
so that kind of. And it did for a while with us
24:32
actually. So going back to the story, we
24:37
eventually went to a shop in Lodi, 1000 bucks split between
24:41
all of us. We have space for our cars, we
24:42
have customers coming in or people asking us to do stuff.
24:45
And I'm like, yo, we have something here, you know?
24:50
And it I tried to push everyone and that's where eventually I
24:55
got the kick. Back.
24:57
You know, so we ended up having all different agendas.
25:04
There was older guy, which was me and then the younger guys and
25:08
they were some guys just wanted the money right then and there
25:12
and let's just go and I'm like it.
25:15
It's time for us to put some money back so we can get
25:18
somewhere. You know, like one of the guys
25:22
would always be like, this is what we're doing.
25:25
This is how we're making our money, and we're just going to
25:27
walk out with. And I'm like, you know, we can
25:28
put it all together and get a lift.
25:30
Yeah, yeah. Now we don't have to work on the
25:32
floor. And they're like, you know what?
25:33
I'd rather just keep my money in my pocket.
25:36
Was it a legitimate business between you guys at that point
25:39
or no? No, it it wasn't.
25:41
It wasn't just the club. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:45
That's the way it gets really messy is when you form that
25:49
business before, you know, before trying it out like you
25:52
guys basically did what we did, like we were all just hanging
25:54
out and working together, but not it's like one person had the
25:58
business. We did we did turn it into a
26:00
business TS traction for about two years.
26:04
It was still I would still call it a hobby.
26:06
You know, even though it was down as an LLC, you know, I
26:11
would still call it a hobby. But at, at that .20132014, I'm
26:17
like, I, I got to go, 'cause like we got to make a move or,
26:22
or I'm going to make a move, you know, And that's when I was one
26:26
of the guys came with me and, and we created Phap Auto.
26:30
Oh wow, yeah OK, now this is the only main question I want to.
26:34
Ask you motherfucker. I was like, here it is.
26:36
Why is it phap auto? Yeah, so when we started Phap
26:42
Auto, it was a Wii it I had a partner, so it's tough making a
26:50
name, right? So, yeah, so I wanted something
26:53
with like a tachometer and attack, right?
26:57
Yeah, yeah, Logo. And I wanted performance.
27:01
So I'm like, but you can't put that up.
27:04
Everybody got that shit, you know.
27:07
So at the time, memes were starting to get really crazy and
27:14
we went through a billion, a billion names.
27:15
Eventually I said to my partner, we usually call him Moe, but his
27:21
legal name is Fouad. So I was like, let's do Fouad
27:25
Amin performance. That sounds like shit, right?
27:30
That's a mouthful. Yeah.
27:31
So yeah, we're not writing this out.
27:34
And then we say fat, and then we're like fat, fat, fat, fat,
27:38
fat, fat. So.
27:40
It does have to do with it. Yeah, do.
27:43
It so it just got we were like stuck.
27:46
That was the time when that was like fat meme galore all over
27:51
the Internet. Yeah, yeah, OK.
27:52
And I was like, it's stupid, It's funny, but I think it's
27:58
something. And it ended up being a really
28:00
big marketing thing cuz everyone kind of is fab.
28:03
Seriously, You named it fab? And then people would just write
28:07
down why. And that was like, our people
28:13
just come and tell us for no reason, dude.
28:15
We're still saying that like. Yeah, I'm like, oh, you gotta go
28:18
to FAP. Auto and they go what?
28:20
I'm like FAP auto. I kind of still get prank calls
28:22
here and there if you're like, is this fat?
28:24
I was. I was.
28:25
Are you fat? You're fapping right now.
28:28
I was on the phone with my friends from Georgia and they're
28:30
like, yeah, we're having a podcast, you know, if you guys
28:32
want to tune in this week or whatever.
28:34
Who you guys having on? Oh, we got this shot by us.
28:37
It's called, you know, it's called Fat Fat bottle.
28:44
What they say no. Okay, like what are you gonna
28:48
say? Like you have a successful
28:51
performance shop? Yeah, that's the thing.
28:53
You can't say anything. While fappin like you're.
28:56
Yeah, there you go. I can't.
28:58
Believe. I actually had to do because I
29:00
remember when there was, yeah, I do remember when it blew up and
29:04
that word fab. Yeah, Yeah.
29:06
It was like I, I took advantage of the marketing.
29:09
I really. Did you just said fab?
29:11
It is. It is what it is, bro.
29:13
It is what it is. I mean, but there is actual
29:15
meaning behind the name too. Yeah, yeah.
29:16
So, so yeah, it kind of got stuck in that we were laughing,
29:19
you know, we were, we were like at the time we would smoke, we
29:22
were high or whatever. And we're just like chilling
29:23
back like, yeah, I think this is, we got nothing else.
29:27
Yeah, this is it. We got nothing else.
29:29
This is hitting for some reason. Yeah.
29:31
I mean, yeah, Any publicity, Good publicity, yeah, You know
29:35
what I mean? That was free marketing.
29:36
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It still is, honestly.
29:39
Yeah, yeah, we still get, I mean, I just powder coated a a
29:42
face, a ABBS face and someone posted are are you like doing
29:50
face shots now? It's like.
29:54
Carl's face. That is what.

Post the wheel and then be like I got it and next scroll it's
30:01
just that dude. Remember that?
30:02
Remember that meme where the guy was like biting his lip?
30:04
It was like it'd be the sun. It was like, remember the Datsun
30:07

Freaking mushrooms, wow. Yeah, dude.
31:17
Good times. Now.
31:18
Now memes are like normal. Now, now, memes are one.
31:21
They're not really memes. They're like reels now.
31:23
Memes were like early brain rot, but it was brain rot that you
31:26
discussed with your friends and made your own brain rot.
31:30
With that and they were like cartoons.
31:32
They weren't like now memes there.
31:34
Weren't always there. Were still forum times and
31:37
Reddit was you know. E Bombs world.
31:39
Oh wow, wow. E bombs.
31:41
World I was not. I was.
31:43
I caught the tail end of that. Were you an E bombs world guy?
31:46
Yeah. Yeah, you guys, you guys have
31:49
seen something. Yeah, we've seen some that are
31:51
probably not allowed on the Internet anymore.
31:52
Definitely not. Oh yeah, I've seen fucking
31:54
helicopter accidents. There was a there was a video on
31:57
E bombs world. It was one of the earliest
31:59
videos I've ever watched where it was like it's called fat boy
32:03
car wash. Do you know what I'm talking
32:05
about? He literally was just this
32:07
larger gentleman just rubbing himself all over.
32:10
It could have been a Ford Contour for all I knew.
32:12
Honestly honest. Because it would have known
32:15
then. There was a long antenna and it
32:16
was just like you would like lick it and like throw
32:18
hamburgers all over it. It was crazy.
32:20
Okay. Yeah, I should not have been
32:22
watching that at 11 years old. That was weird.
32:24
Yeah, yeah, the Internet was. I mean, I'm sure it's way worse
32:28
now. The kids growing up now it's
32:29
probably way worse. Just accessible.
32:32
Just accessible. And I remember like, my friend
32:34
would be like, yo, you, you gotta come see this shit and
32:35
yeah, LiveLeak and, you know, less cuter to death.
32:38
And you're like, maybe I shouldn't be watching this at
32:40
fucking 14. But I feel like there was more
32:43
of like a, a unifying element there.
32:46
It'd be like, it'd be like that one kid who had that Channel.
32:49
You know what channel I'm talking?
32:50
About. Yeah, I know you're talking
32:51
about. Squiggly channel?
32:52
Yeah. Do you know what channel I'm
32:53
talking? About the squiggly channel.
32:54
Channel 67 where you might see a nipple.
32:57
You might see a. You might see a tip.
32:59
Through the screen. Yeah.
33:00
Yeah. You come over, Yo, you gotta
33:01
come over. Joe's dude.
33:02
It's it's gonna be sick, OK? And also like.
33:06
I had Internet. So yeah.
33:07
I could get everything. That's the thing.
33:09
Like if it was like. One, one person, you know, you
33:13
got to come over. I found this shit on the
33:14
Internet and you got to go to his house, his computer, to see
33:17
what he's talking about. It wasn't like, oh, I'm just
33:19
going to send it to you. Yeah, you can't.
33:22
It's too long. Yeah. 56 K and.
33:24
We were young and like, we didn't know how to do e-mail.
33:26
What's that? Yeah, the fucking Internet is
33:28
going. Yeah, and.
33:30
You're like what the fuck is going on?
33:32
Yeah, shit was weird, man. That was.
33:34
I'm telling you that unifying element there, that was so
33:39
great. Like.
33:41
That was fun. Do you remember 2 girls 1 cup
33:43
bro? Yeah, I was like 15 when that
33:45
came out. Yeah, I tried to predict that
33:46
came up, yeah. That that was, that was.
33:50
That was a unifying element bro. OK, here's the one that I dodged
33:55
and I I to this day pain Olympics.
34:01
I dodged that. To this day I never.
34:03
Watched it. That was disgusting.
34:04
Yeah. Yeah, bad stuff.
34:06
The problem is is that I had older cousins and the older
34:09
cousins. They were going.
34:11
They were. Going in they were not, no they
34:13
wouldn't force me but me being a kid I'm like what are they
34:17
watching in there? And then I'd catch 1 glimpse of
34:20
it or one one or hear one thing about it.
34:22
Go right to my friends and tell them about it.
34:24
Same thing with cars. You.
34:25
Know my cousin got like AE46M3 vert yeah he just got a big job
34:30
as he got he was doing real well M3 vert unheard of in the
34:35
family. But now I'm going to tell my
34:37
friends and now it's like oh fuck we all like E46 M3's now.
34:41
Yeah, yeah, it's. The only car I know.
34:42
So then it's like, oh cool, no Quan, I don't like BMW and to
34:46
anybody, there's been a rumour going around that I like BMWs.
34:49
I could see you in a beamer. No good.
34:52
Dude, God damn, that's just making me think of.
34:55
I know, good times though. Oh my gosh.
34:57
Yeah. I'm glad we got that.
34:58
Was good unity that was good. Like forum times.
35:01
Like that was our, like, that was love, Yeah.
35:06
Pinnacle car culture right there.
35:07
And you guys are always been pretty active with being in the
35:12
community, like I've been to multiple cars and coffees at you
35:14
guys displaced. Yeah, multiple cars, yeah.
35:16
So we're we try that's it. I mean, that's, that's the best
35:22
part about it, you know, like trying to just make money is
35:26
it's great right to, to have money, obviously, but like,
35:29
it's, that's not why we got into it.
35:32
You know, like the guy that we're going to help that doesn't
35:35
have money. That's the best part, you know,
35:38
and we try to like plant like, hey, I did this already.
35:41
I've I fucked up. I fucked up.
35:43
You know, like I bought this turbo kit and I just installed
35:46
it, no tune. Yeah, yeah.
35:49
I had to hear it bro, but now I need an engine and I'm telling
35:54
you not to do that, you know? So like with our expertise, we
35:57
can help you like hey, you know, like you can get an intake and
36:00
install it. You can do this and install it
36:02
and still have fun instead of like balls to the wall and fuck
36:07
everything up, you know? Yeah, it's always the Honda V6
36:09
owners. What else can you?
36:11
Do to this so the contour had no tune on it.
36:14
The contour had no tune on it, yeah.
36:17
I knew you mentioned it for a reason.
36:18
I. Yeah, absolutely.
36:20
I. Knew it, I knew it.
36:21
I knew it yeah so like yeah, I'm just still on that dude and like
36:27
who, how the where do you even find a a turbo kit for that?
36:31
Like what you? Probably got to make one guy
36:32
makes it one guy and you just got to pay what he makes.
36:35
It for whatever he sold it for. And it's the best because it's
36:38
the only one. Yeah, what did you?
36:40
What did you? End up getting into after that
36:41
car. So projects tend to take a long
36:46
time. So I got into a project of
36:48
painting the car and that stayed at the paint shop for like a
36:54
year, yeah. He put you in painter hell.
36:57
Yeah, yeah, it was free. What is it?
36:59
Paint purgatory? Yeah, that's.
37:02
That's when the car waits on one part, but then sits in the
37:05
corner. Yeah, forever.
37:06
Yeah, yeah, it was it was free. It was my neighbor.
37:10
So like I was going to The Body Shop.
37:11
That's kind of how I learned how to like fend the roll.
37:14
He kind of gave me a spot to fend the roll.
37:16
Here is the shop, use it, whatever.
37:18
And so anyways, he painted my car for free, but it took so
37:24
long and when I went to work I had to walk and then I really
37:29
wanted a different car. So I was looking for a 190 E
37:34
Gray market 2.316 valve the Cosworth.
37:38
The Cosworth The Manual 1. So that's what I wanted, that's
37:42
what I wanted and I wasn't finding many.
37:46
Obviously it's hard to bring those in and my buddy brought up
37:52
probably from like Need for speed or something and MR2.
37:55
I knew, I thought, I thought I remembered you had an SW 20
37:59
this. Car looks so rare.
38:00
Oh yeah, I love them. But the rare is that car.
38:03
That's the Evo. Yeah, this is.
38:04
Crazy. That's a very expensive.
38:06
You buy the cheap one and then you make that.
38:08
Yes. Oh.
38:09
OK. Something like this?
38:10
Yeah. That gold one on the bottom
38:12
right, Malcolm or Yeah, that works.
38:14
That's a drifting one that works.
38:15
Oh, OK. The rear wheel drive slab of of
38:19
metal, dude. Yeah.
38:22
I still till this day think they're an awesome call.
38:24
Yeah, never. I never ended up getting one.
38:26
Cosworth engine, So it sounds fucking fucking like crazy,
38:31
yeah. That's cool.
38:31
I mean the. Evo One or whatever looks sick.
38:34
You would like the most. It's kind of crazy.
38:36
They. Call it EVO and literally put it
38:37
EVO. On it, Yeah, yeah.
38:39
Yeah, it's it was that word evolution, and probably that one
38:42
I think was evolution. You know what?
38:44
I'm saying yeah, that was nice, especially against the E 30s.
38:48
Yeah, E30 and it says DTM because that was there.
38:52
There was like a class, yeah raced in.
38:54
Yeah, they would be in like the what are the races I was looking
38:58
at at the time group BTC. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, they
39:02
sound. Yeah, the contours were in that
39:04
too. And I was like, what?
39:06
We're done with the contour now. 190 E that.
39:09
I'll still bring it back you if. I find one on yeah my Facebook
39:13
marketplace be talking. Crazy.
39:15
I don't know, I think I'm out on that.
39:18
Someone told me that they they they're kind of asked, they're
39:20
not really that special, but never feature.
39:24
Heroes. Yeah, if it falls on our lap,
39:26
maybe. Maybe.
39:27
You'd make a cool 1 though, but OK.
39:29
MR2. So my buddy was like how about
39:33
an MR2 and I'm like whichever one I find 1st I'm going to buy
39:37
and it was an MR2 So we went into an MR2 and that's it.
39:42
That's really it. I have 3 Mr. twos right now.
39:45
Oh, really? OK.
39:47
So that really stuck. Yeah, yeah, it's terrible rear
39:50
wheel drive, I mean. What what motor you got?
39:54
I'm a purist, so a Second Gen. 3S, yeah, second Gen. 3S.
40:00
How many leaks it got? No, no, it's not bad.
40:03
That's a good freaking motor. Dude.
40:05
OK today today I will pull up a video.
40:11
My buddy has had an MR2 I think like 20 years now.
40:14
Oh well impossible like 15 years.
40:18
We swapped a second Gen. when we were in college into it I
40:23
believe. Ran great, leaked like fuck but
40:28
we know it leaked. So when you, I feel like when
40:30
you know there's an oil leak, you tend to be a bit more of an
40:33
active motorist. You're like, oh, let me check
40:35
the oil. You would check on, yeah.
40:37
Yeah, it's Tyler. He's a very intelligent.
40:40
He's. A very intelligent guy, the.
40:42
Black one. Yes, yes, I know I was.
40:44
Going to say the MR2 community is so small you probably know
40:46
him but second Gen. it died, had a Bluetooth cylinder.
40:52
He drove it 3 cylinders like from his parents house to our
40:54
house that we now currently live in and three cylinders mate
41:00
totally fine died in the driveway but fine made it today.
41:04
The third Gen. that we put in then it has spawn a bearing or
41:10
something. Yeah, this morning.
41:12
So. Five years?
41:14
How many oil changes? Who the fuck?
41:16
Knows we just bought the motor put it but like.
41:19
I guess. Like he bought it from.
41:23
A depot. No, no, it was a half cut.
41:27
Like they bring those cars in sometimes with a half cut.
41:30
It's like the bearing Toyota. That's why I'm like kind of
41:35
weird. We could check something else,
41:36
but it sounds. Nice.
41:38
Yeah, it's just kind of weird. I'm sure he'll make a post maybe
41:40
in the MR2 groups knowing if you're in, yeah.
41:43
I haven't had many issues with them outside of not working so
41:51
that can be. I tend to go balls to the wall,
41:54
so usually I'm doing something with my car and it's three of.
42:01
Those things, yeah. And they're all like the same
42:03
engine set up, no? No, so the the third one, I just
42:08
shit, my wife's going to hear this.
42:11
We're a little further in. We're a little further.
42:12
In we're a little. Further in this far yeah my my
42:19
buddy got rid of his shop and I ended up picking up his which is
42:23
like super clean. I'm probably going to get rid of
42:25
one of mine. So that's the third one it's
42:27
temporary I guess, but one's supposed to be like a street set
42:32
up one's full track set up. I'm trying to set one up for the
42:36
circuit for time attack. So yeah it's taking a long time.
42:42
I don't really have like I have a motor like fully built.
42:45
I have like a full drag motor, another full drag motor fully
42:49
built. I was going to throw it in the
42:51
shop over the winter. Something took over the shop and
42:55
I was like, yeah, well I'll just keep that in the garage.
42:57
That's how that goes, man. So but.
42:59
They're they're gonna be turbo charged I assume or.
43:01
Not yeah, always turbo. I mean, yeah, I'm not that
43:04
boring. I don't know anything about Mr.
43:06
Twos. Yeah, like, I know a little bit,
43:07
but I don't know, like, you know.
43:09
Turbo 2 liter still Turbo 2 liter called the three turbo
43:14
Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that.
43:15
Yeah, yeah, your Nissan's wackier in America, bro.
43:18
They had a turbo mid engine rear wheel Toyota.
43:23
Yeah. It must be pretty fun to drive.
43:26
Yeah, it goes into walls pretty easy.
43:30
Dude. I've lost one.
43:31
Yeah. Have you really?
43:33
Yeah, my first one. I lost it, unfortunately.
43:37
I was Fender rolling Mobile, was a mobile Fender roller, and I
43:43
had no tires. I just started powder coating
43:45
and I was like, I'm going to powder coat these wheels and I'm
43:48
not going to put tires on until I powder coat the wheels.
43:50
So I had bulb tires and I went to Fort Lee I think it was I I
43:58
Fender old my buddies civic or it was a Co worker or something
44:02
like that. And then on the way home it
44:05
started drizzling. Oh no yeah.
44:07
And I had no tread. Amazing tires because they
44:10
usually get better as they lose tread.
44:12
I had Dunlap Durizos star specs. Yeah, till the rain comes.
44:17
Till the rain comes, yeah. And hey, Frankie.
44:21
Likes those tires? No.
44:22
No. No, no, no, I only had my car
44:24
once and they're still on there. I actually like them.
44:26
They're good. Yeah.
44:27
Not, not. Much experience.
44:28
With them, yeah. Not the cheap dresses, the Z2.
44:30
Stars or whatever they. Probably had the Z ones.
44:33
Yeah. I'm old, yeah.
44:36
The good formula. Yeah, so I'm on the Turnpike
44:42
where it's like connected to 80 coming from the George
44:45
Washington, you know, Fort Lee area.
44:47
And there's like this long left hand curve and like I it just
44:53
spins out and I don't know how, but I'm going back and forth 4
44:58
lanes probably 3 or 4 times. And then I couldn't, I couldn't
45:02
bring it back. And then I pulled it to the
45:05
right and went under the guardrail with my with the nose.
45:10
It hit the post and as it's spinning, I'm like, don't hit
45:14
the back, don't hit the back, don't hit the back.
45:16
And long and behold, I hit the back.
45:19
Oh my. God.
45:20
Yeah. And the car got stuck because I
45:22
did a wire tuck and that goes towards the rear quarter panel
45:26
and that's where it hit and like pinched the wire.
45:28
So I couldn't even move. I was stuck on that highway for
45:32
probably an hour and a half. No cops, no nothing.
45:36
Wow. Yeah, I'm like, I ain't calling,
45:38
no. In that spot too.
45:41
Yeah, isn't that crazy? Yeah, my buddies came from.
45:44
I'm like, yo, I need help. They came from Jersey City.
45:47
We pushed it up the hill a little bit, backed it up, kick
45:51
started it turned around and I was with my girl at the time and
45:56
I'm like, I'm can I just leave this at your parents house in
45:59
Teaneck? Yeah, yeah.
46:00
And and they're like, yeah, sure, why not?
46:02
And then they see this ugly shit roll up all beat up and I'm
46:06
like, oh, I'll take care of it later.
46:08
Oh my God dude that. Could have been worse.
46:10
That could have been a worse story.
46:11
Yeah, I could have hit like 50 people.
46:14
Yeah, that that that's a signature trait of that car.
46:19
Yeah. Oh really?
46:20
Lose like. Hard to the snap.
46:22
The snap over steer of that car is insane.
46:25
Well. The only car I was thinking of
46:26
when you were talking about Mr. Twos, I was like, well, the
46:27
Miata is a small car. That's probably, I mean the
46:29
Miata I know is a fun car to drive.
46:31
I don't know about Mr. Twos, but I know, I mean, but that's a mid
46:34
engine, so it's not rear engine. So it's a little bit.
46:36
Southwest 20 was the first car where I felt it was really weird
46:44
the way the car rotated. Like I met Tyler.
46:47
Yeah, Yeah, I met Tyler in college.
46:49
He had that car. He uses a daily everything work
46:52
car or whatever. He made one turn when we finally
46:56
got like sticky tires. Like we, you know, you climb the
46:59
ladder, you have sticky tires now.
47:01
And he made one turn and it felt like the car rotated like on a
47:05
like on this axis instead of like the back, the back like
47:10
swinging the car. It spun like in the middle like
47:14
a turn. And I was like.
47:15
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Feel that?
47:19
Like you will throw up if you get in Tyler's car, specifically
47:23
Tyler's because everything Tyler does.
47:25
Anybody knows how to drive that? He's so maniacal with it.
47:27
Like very very fast reaction time.
47:30
Extremely fast. You know somebody's psycho when
47:33
they buy 2 mid engine cars like. You got 3.
47:37
Oh, you're talking 'cause he's got a.
47:37
Cayman or something? Yeah, Tyler bought a, a Cayman
47:40
like AI was like, oh, you really bought like a bigger one of
47:43
these. Congratulations.
47:45
Like and that, that is a scary feeling 'cause when it drift or
47:52
when it does come out, it's not like ours.
47:55
What does that feel like? We have time to like, you know,
47:59
and it's very predictable when we throw it, dude, when Tyler
48:03
does that thing to come out it. Probably.
48:04
Feels like it's not gonna stop. No, no, it's just like, feels
48:07
like you're gonna, it's gonna kick out, bite and then fly back
48:11
really hard. And like, yeah, and then hit the
48:13
other way and then. Go back the other way.
48:15
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh.
48:18
Yeah, I tried. I tried.
48:19
I tried to drift the I I suck. Only thing that it's hard, only
48:22
thing I've ever driven that feels like what you just said is
48:24
like an all-wheel drive car. No, no, it's like not because
48:29
like the back. Will come out and you're like,
48:31
this is cool, but you know that the second it grips up or
48:34
something it's just going to swing you back out that.
48:36
Way because you're same concept. Yeah, same concept.
48:39
Like it doesn't want to counter steer, like it wants to just be
48:42
turned in that way while you're doing a doughnut or something.
48:45
It's even weirder just because there's, like, just glass right
48:49
here. Yeah, behind your head.
48:50
And then like sometimes there's no roof.
48:53
So I like all the T tops, yeah. Dude, they're cool.
48:56
Sick like. It reminds me of like an NSX but
48:59
like I feel like an. Oh, it's a Ferrari.
49:00
Ferrari. Ferrari, Yeah.
49:01
Poor man's Ferrari, yeah? Poor man's Ferrari MRT got a.
49:04
Honda NSX. We already got a Toyota, we're
49:06
not going to Honda. Yeah.
49:08
You're not going. Hopefully Tyler does AV6V6.
49:11
Swap on, it's really nice. It's better AK swap I guess.
49:14
GR Wow 2. GR Dude I.
49:17
Don't like V6 engine? Dude, that that the two GR is
49:20
nice, yeah. Makes it even more like a yeah.
49:23
It's it's going to be a Sienna. Yeah, pretty much.
49:25
Pretty much. It's reliable, yeah.
49:28
Turnkey. No timing chain engine.
49:30
No need for oil at all, ever. You need to do those.
49:34
That's the V6. One the the three.
49:35
Yeah, 2 GR. Two GR Yeah.
49:37
What does that come out of? Sienna.
49:39
What? Sienna Tacoma, Forerunner.
49:43
Dude, you ever been one of those motherfuckers?
49:45
Be careful when you be messing with the Sienna XL ES on the
49:48
highway the. Minivan, Yeah.
49:50
Terrifying. They're fast.
49:51
I've been involved in one minivan race in my entire life
49:53
and it was pretty fucking crazy. I used to race people in our
49:56
Honda Odyssey all the time. It was sick.
49:58
Yeah, until I had AI. Bought like a big TV for
50:01
college. Like I'm bringing this home.
50:03
It's like a gigantic TV, but like one with the back.
50:07
There's a Sony, Wagga, whoever is like old.
50:10
Like. Big.
50:11
The big normal. Projection TV but like Sony
50:13
Wagga when I was a. Mirror in the bag my.
50:16
My cousin had one and it was sick and it was free so I was
50:19
like I'll take it bro. I hit the we were flying, we
50:22
accelerated really hard, but then I had to stop and the Sony
50:26
Wagga just hit. The fucking no hard man.
50:29
And I was. Like damn, I hope that's still
50:32
good. Minivan races are always like,
50:35
you look over to see the guy, you could tell like, oh fuck,
50:37
he's going to race and you just fucking take off.
50:40
And it's like the most serious race ever because you're like,
50:42
this Honda is going to smoke this Toyota.
50:45
I was with Miyagi. I don't know what he was
50:46
driving, but he was fucking so serious.
50:49
Literally the Sony wagon, the second one, the Grand Wiga.
50:52
Yeah, that's the one. Nice.
50:56
Yo, that thing was a gajillion pounds.
50:58
That's a built in subwoofer and the bottom that.

52:52
A big deal. Like, Yeah.

You got to remember some of the listeners are a little younger
53:17
and might not this. Was like this was like seeing a
53:20
space station inside your school like when these.
53:22
Computers were there. That was sick.
53:24
Like that's when style was styling.
53:26
Look at the colors of the computer bro.
53:28
And your iPhone doesn't mean first.
53:30
Time that Mac did anything different like this was.
53:34
It wow, that's dope. Like I feel like this was like
53:37
the. The first like, oh, we're,
53:39
we're, we're going to make something that's not just a
53:40
beige square. You know, yeah, you're not
53:44
wrong. Because all the fucking other
53:46
ones were based. They had a matching speaker that
53:49
the speaker system is what I had.
53:51
I guess JBL or and an Apple like rebranded it or something like
53:55
that. That shit was dope.
53:58
What the fuck are we looking? At yeah, the second, the second
54:03
one on, that's what I had, the second.
54:05
One on the left, pro speakers. Yeah, that no, with that big
54:08
ass, the base, the oh, the level 4 on the left, Malcolm.
54:13
Golf. I don't know what I'm looking.
54:15
At second one, this one, yeah, yeah, yeah.
54:18
That shit looks like it's really.
54:19
Alert and yeah, there you go. Yeah, I do remember.
54:22
That I had this dumb ass shit under my desk.
54:24
That. Looks like a air diffuser.
54:27
That looks like something you should be putting somewhere
54:29
else. Yeah, maybe we should.
54:31
Yeah. Dude, OK, OK, so yeah, so maybe
54:34
a generation after that they got rid of those Macs and they maybe
54:39
kept them in like the classrooms.
54:40
They got rid of the non colored ones and now, you know, it just
54:43
bumps down. Yeah.
54:44
But then they got this Mac that had like the screen that you
54:47
moved around like this, like it spun around.
54:49
It was just a it was just like 1/2 a half a basketball.
54:53
And then there's like a. Screen.
54:55
I didn't have that. Yeah.
54:58
Yeah, it was a little like bowl upside down.
55:00
It was like, yeah, yeah, maybe. Yeah, that was really cool.
55:04
I don't even know which. Yeah, that was pretty cool too.
55:06
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The the the fifth one.
55:09
Oh, I see. To the right, Why Mac G4?
55:12
Yeah, that the G4. Yeah, that was the next one.
55:14
I ever saw that. That was the one that I would be
55:18
in the computer lab playing like some robot game on it where
55:22
you're just like, running around doing robot shit.
55:24
Yeah, yeah, that. Why?
55:28
Why have that? What?
55:29
What is the point of this? What do you mean this?
55:32
Point Malcolm. What is the point of this I?
55:33
Don't know. I don't remember what they were.
55:35
Exactly like, oh, you can move the screen, yeah.
55:38
Look, I mean what am this? What is this?
55:40
Health. Ergonomic.
55:41
Well, thanks for that thing walked.
55:43
So this thing can run. How about that?
55:44
Dude, I'm not, I'm not sitting at my desk and I'm like, you
55:47
know what? I'd rather sit over here and
55:48
then I just. Like, well, no, it's like, it's
55:50
like, hey, Malcolm, do you want to see what I'm looking at?
55:52
Look. OK, that's convenient.
55:54
Yeah, see. Boom.
55:55
Steve Jobs is a Steve Jobs POS system.
55:59
That was something, yeah. Exactly that would be good for
56:01
that, but. That was a crazy damn.
56:06
Like times moving crazy. Why is there Jaeger on the right
56:11
of that? What the hell?
56:14
Like, yeah. That's when ads were good bro.
56:17
Dude, I know that keyboard's banging to type on dude.
56:21
Yeah, we're going back to those. Are we the mechanical?
56:24
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
56:26
Yeah, I love it. Until that one guy in the office
56:28
is typing on it, you want to shoot him.
56:30
That's probably. Me.
56:31
Oh yeah. That is exactly.
56:33
You see all the girls like when they're doing makeup stuff, they
56:36
like tap their nails on something like they click.
56:39
This is like the man's version. No, the man's version is when
56:45
you know, when you're in a, when you think of a shot, the sound
56:48
of when you drop a piece of metal or a pipe or a wrench and
56:51
it goes like. King, King.
56:53
Yeah. That sound, Yeah, yeah, that's
56:56
the sound of like this for me. Yeah.
56:59
Damn. Yeah, that guy worked.
57:01
A wrench falling on the. Ground Bentley.
57:03
Dude, all right, so 3 Mr. Twos. Yeah, yeah.
57:08
That's the garage in my whole garage.
57:10
So how one day? How long ago was it when you
57:13
were doing the because you were doing mobile Fender rolling?
57:16
Yeah, that. Was before the shop.
57:19
Yeah, that was during, I think that was like TS traction time.
57:24
Oh, it was OK. Yeah, yeah, I had my Contour at
57:28
The Body Shop and I'm like, yo, just bring it to The Body Shop.
57:31
It's like, Nah, my car's down or something.
57:33
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
57:34
Yeah. And I'm like 100 at the time.
57:37
I think I would do all for them for like 80 bucks.
57:40
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was.
57:43
It was not worth it that day. It was.
57:46
Dude, but it that grind like just seems that aided you, you
57:52
know it benefited you. Yeah, absolutely.
57:55
The grind, the grind is is always there.
57:57
I'm kind of like, I kind of like chaos.
58:01
Like, nothing. Like if, if my life isn't
58:05
somewhat chaotic, I'm lazy, you know, like if I get $1,000,000,
58:10
I'm just going to chill out until I don't have $1,000,000
58:13
and then I'll start grinding again, you know, like, damn.
58:16
And I don't like yeah. That's so real.
58:19
You got to. Keep.
58:19
You got to keep going. Yeah.
58:21
You know, I'd rather take the $1,000,000, spend it be broke
58:24
right now and then like make figure out a way to make more
58:27
money with that, you know, just keep going, you know?
58:32
I remember the first one of the first things he said to me.
58:34
I dropped some off at his shop. Yo, what time you open tomorrow?
58:37
He's like probably like 10. Yeah.
58:40
I don't like coming in early. I was.
58:41
Like, oh, OK, yeah. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
58:45
Yeah. We open at 11:11. 11/05 coming.
58:49
Yeah, I was like, damn, I thought I was bad at 9:00.
58:52
I was like, OK, I don't feel bad anymore.
58:54
This is pretty good. Yeah, no.
58:56
But that's a lot of shops though, like a lot of people
58:59
like us who were like tuners and stuff, they a lot of them were
59:02
just like, fuck the normal schedule.
59:04
Like we're just opening A10 like.
59:06
Yeah. I mean, you gotta make it work
59:08
for you. And that's pretty much what I
59:11
did, yeah. What time you guys close?
59:12
Seven. Yeah, I thought so.
59:14
So we get the late, we get the late comers, you know, like if
59:20
you open up at 789, you get the morning guys, you know, we take
59:24
care of the guys coming back from home, you know, if we're
59:27
doing regular stuff anyways. But I don't even close at 7.
59:32
I'm like there till God knows when, you know?
59:34
I was about to say, what time do you actually?
59:37
Leave. Yeah, probably 9.
59:39
Yesterday I left at 12 or, or one.
59:43
Yeah, yeah, it's a little rough right now with Ramadan.
59:47
Yeah, right now it's a little rough with Ramadan because I
59:50
have to break my fast at a certain time at at sunset.
59:53
So I'll go home and eat and then like just to spend time with the
59:59
family and then I'll come back and start work.
1:00:02
And then it's like a reset. You're like.
1:00:04
So you actually leave and then come back.
1:00:06
Yeah, I don't live too far. I live about like 15 minutes
1:00:08
from from the shop. OK, So I'll go and I'll come
1:00:11
back and I'll get stuff moving for the next day.
1:00:14
Like, so when the guys come in, they can get things going, you
1:00:17
know? How many employees you have
1:00:18
over? There I have three.
1:00:21
OK, Yeah. Basically the same over here.
1:00:23
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are they all happy?
1:00:27
Yeah, I think so. That's.
1:00:28
Good. Yeah, I hope so.
1:00:29
That's an important thing, I hope.
1:00:30
No, no, that's an. Important thing, it's really
1:00:32
hard to keep people happy and and hopefully we're doing a good
1:00:36
job. Hopefully I'm doing a.
1:00:37
Good job. I think we're doing a good job.
1:00:38
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it was.
1:00:41
It was like, I don't know today, like I work not in an office
1:00:46
now, so I get to see this. But like when people aren't
1:00:49
happy in the shop, yo shit don't get done.
1:00:52
Nope. It is stopped, yeah, and no one
1:00:55
is doing anything. Yeah, you're just sad.
1:00:58
Yeah. You're just sad and.
1:00:59
Then maybe, hopefully it doesn't happen, but.
1:01:02
Like one person. You might mess it up.
1:01:04
One person can ruin the whole mood in the shop.
1:01:06
Too. Oh yeah, for real.
1:01:07
Yeah, one person farts really bad.
1:01:10
Poor ventilation that day. Yeah, but I'm thinking more like
1:01:13
their mood like like if they're in a bad mood then it'll
1:01:16
sometimes it'll set the vibe off for the rest depending on the
1:01:20
the person. What's going on?
1:01:21
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, when I hired my guys, I
1:01:24
would ask all my guys before hiring the person.
1:01:27
Like, do you think this guy? Oh yeah, no, that's.
1:01:30
Looks cool. Yeah, you have to.
1:01:33
You have to you vibing with them.
1:01:35
I think it's because our shops are so small and you know,
1:01:38
everyone's involved in everything.
1:01:39
Yeah, pretty much. Absolutely.
1:01:40
That is, it's not like a corporation where it's like,
1:01:43
yeah, we're bringing on this guy.
1:01:44
He's gonna be your new manager. It's like what?
1:01:46
Yeah, no, we gotta hand shit off and talk.
1:01:50
Yeah, so. And happen to look at each other
1:01:53
by accident, like, yeah, yeah. Damn.
1:01:56
So we brought up fasting before. I've been staring at these.
1:01:58
I don't know how you're staring at these, not eating them.
1:02:00
So let's dig in. I didn't eat all day so this is
1:02:03
I'm gonna be breaking. I broke my fast with the the
1:02:07
drink but what the fuck I want. I.
1:02:09
Have break your fast. I did with the drink.
1:02:13
I thought it was the right time and everything, yeah.
1:02:15
Malcolm. Found oh break like oh, I see
1:02:18
what you're saying. OK.
1:02:19
So I brought some dates so I can break my fast because I haven't
1:02:23
eaten all day. You know, this is this is our
1:02:25
work. So yeah, I brought a couple
1:02:27
extras if you guys want one. I'm.
1:02:28
Definitely going to RIP one right now.
1:02:30
Let me get. One, this might be my first date
1:02:31
I ever had. So there is a pit inside, be
1:02:35
careful. And there is a part where it
1:02:37
comes off of the tree on the top.
1:02:39
So you have to take that off. You just peel it.
1:02:41
Off. I got a small 1, so I don't even
1:02:42
think this one, yeah. I don't think mine has that.
1:02:44
Either it looks like a little. Yeah, mine's not a.
1:02:46
Little brown all right, and then like flip.
1:02:48
I like usually break it in half and get that pit out.
1:02:51
OK, and then you can eat it. These ones are soft.
1:02:54
I really like them. Wait a minute, it just tastes
1:02:56
like. It's not bad.
1:02:57
It's not a Raisin, is it? Yeah.
1:02:59
Yeah. This is a good one, Yeah.
1:03:00
See the ones that I had before? The legit ones.
1:03:02
The ones I had before had a weird taste it.
1:03:06
Reminds me of a Raisin. Bro Malcolm, you ever eat a Hope
1:03:08
yet? Do you know what that is?
1:03:10
Hope. Yeah, yeah.
1:03:11
They taste kind of like hope you have more.
1:03:12
I hope he has like a bread thing.
1:03:14
I thought no, no, but there's there's stuff in it.
1:03:16
Oh, like a take a little piece of it, take a little piece of
1:03:18
it. I've never had it just take.
1:03:20
A. Little fucking this is.
1:03:23
Mine never had a date. Does it taste like Hopia?
1:03:30
Hopia is like a Filipino. Is it Filipino?
1:03:34
Sorry to eat on the podcast. It's like an Asian dessert and
1:03:38
inside of it there is like, I think it's like called mungo
1:03:43
bean, like a mungo bean inside of it.
1:03:45
Am I bugging or does that taste like Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
1:03:48
You're high. There's like, there's like a lot
1:03:50
of. Different flavors.
1:03:51
Where's the where's the pit? Because I'm like fuck, did I eat
1:03:53
this thing? RIP it in half.
1:03:55
It'll be in there. No, you can't.
1:03:57
You can't mess it up. No, I'm gonna eat the whole
1:03:58
bitch. Wait, it kind of tastes like
1:04:00
Cinnamon Toast Crunch? It's not bad.
1:04:04
I have I have a whole one. If you want another one I got
1:04:06
plenty. I'm good.
1:04:07
That is not Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
1:04:09
You maybe what I mixed it with Bud Light.
1:04:11
Maybe that's why. This is a fruit, yeah.
1:04:12
Yeah, yeah, right off the tree. This doesn't taste like any
1:04:16
fruit I've ever had in my entire.
1:04:17
Life. Are you fucking having a fruit?
1:04:18
That's the first time right now. This is the first time I saw
1:04:21
Frankie eat a fruit. Yeah.
1:04:22
Oh, really? Really.
1:04:23
Yeah, but this isn't even. Healthy.
1:04:25
See you can eat like 10 of them and be OK.
1:04:27
This. Has this stuff sugar?
1:04:29
It tastes very sugary to me. Yeah, yeah.
1:04:30
There's a lot of sugar in it. OK, a lot of sugar.
1:04:32
That's that's what natural sugar tastes like.
1:04:35
Yeah. Did you like just because it's
1:04:39
not processed sugar doesn't mean it's like, still not bad for
1:04:42
you. Like if you're a diabetic, like
1:04:44
if you eat a shit load of fruits like this, it's not going to be
1:04:46
good for you. Yeah, but dude, if you switch
1:04:49
from, I saw there's a fresh box in there.
1:04:53
What? Of Oreos.
1:04:54
Bro I don't buy these things people.
1:04:56
Bring them here, right people bring threw all that shit out.
1:04:59
Stop giving Frankie Oreos. This guy's gonna have fucking
1:05:03
not. Their finger growing somewhere?
1:05:07
Yeah, some. I don't know, extra toe.
1:05:10
I, I, I kind of stopped buying. That's a lie.
1:05:13
But I, I'm pretty good at not buying that shit now.
1:05:16
But like, so many people bring me Oreos and stuff here that I'm
1:05:19
just like. I'm not throwing it out, Yeah.
1:05:22
And it comes to my house. Everybody gets to enjoy it.
1:05:25
Why not? That's AI usually.
1:05:27
Never seen Frankie eat a fruit. That's actually kind of insane.
1:05:31
Next time I'll bring a whole like fruit basket.
1:05:33
We should have told you it was a fruit.
1:05:34
No, I knew it was a fruit. I mean, I figured it was a
1:05:36
fruit, but. Well, if we told you it was a
1:05:38
vegetable. I probably would have liked it
1:05:40
more. Well I have this thing with
1:05:43
fruits where I didn't eat fruit growing up.
1:05:45
And. Now I'm ruined.
1:05:47
Yeah, like you give me an apple. I'm just like.
1:05:49
Yeah, I guess. I like don't.
1:05:51
I don't enjoy it. But when?
1:05:52
I see people eat fruit and they love it.
1:05:55
I'm like, God, I kind of wish I had that.
1:05:57
Yeah, I, I, I switched. Dude, I don't think I drank
1:06:00
water until I was 30. Oh, wow.
1:06:02
OK. Like what?
1:06:04
Soda? Like I hate water.
1:06:06
Oh no, I. Hate it?
1:06:07
Really. I'm the opposite with water.
1:06:09
Yeah, yeah. So like, that's been like a
1:06:12
journey for me. Wow.
1:06:15
One of the most important fucking elements that you can
1:06:20
give your body. That's like my father, dude, I
1:06:22
feel. Like I never seen him drink
1:06:23
water growing up. I was like, how are you?
1:06:24
How do you? How is your body alive?
1:06:26
Well, that's because Dad's just think that there's water and
1:06:28
coffee, so. That yeah, there's water and
1:06:30
coffee. There's water and Coke.
1:06:31
Oh, OK. Yeah, it's clearly I would.
1:06:33
Say the same shit, probably. Yeah, yeah.
1:06:35
That's. Crazy.
1:06:36
Not. Until.
1:06:37
People survive like. That until you get like.
1:06:39
Migraine. Throughout the day, it's funny
1:06:42
you had migraines for. Pretty much you just.
1:06:44
Deal with it, bro. Yeah, I've been, I've.
1:06:46
I don't think I've been like, I've always been tired.
1:06:49
Yeah, I've, I don't think I've ever had a relaxed day.
1:06:52
I'm just like, I wake up and like, is it time to sleep?
1:06:55
There's a lot of. Sugar in that.
1:06:56
Yeah. I can almost feel it in my
1:06:59
throat. It's weird.
1:07:00
Yeah. Yeah.
1:07:01
It's good for your horror. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:07:05
Like anything that's not processed your whole body like
1:07:08
digests it. It's so good.
1:07:09
You know so. It's good for you.
1:07:11
It's good for you. Now where do these come from?
1:07:13
Where is a date like natural home or like where are they
1:07:16
grown? They have them.
1:07:18
Is it the Middle East? So these ones specifically were
1:07:20
grown in California. Oh, OK.
1:07:23
All right. But a lot of it in the Middle
1:07:25
East. I haven't looked.
1:07:27
I just eat them, man. They're good.
1:07:29
Yeah. They have.
1:07:29
Probably like a more of a desert climate type.
1:07:32
Yeah, but they yeah, the the oh here.
1:07:35
We go. Holy.
1:07:36
Shit, all right. I'm what it fuck it looks like.
1:07:40
Wow. Yeah, so these are dry as fuck.
1:07:45
Those those shits look like this.
1:07:46
Is the one you? Ate Yeah.
1:07:48
This is the one you ate. That looks like it's hard and
1:07:52
and yeah, and they're not gonna. Taste.
1:07:53
Here you go. There you go.
1:07:55
It looks like it definitely comes from like a more arid or
1:07:58
sunny type of environment. I know exactly.
1:08:01
I was telling, I was telling you this earlier.
1:08:03
First time I heard of a date was Indiana Jones.
1:08:05
Raiders are the lost time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Are you shitting me? Yeah.
1:08:33
For for Malcolm, can you look up the amount of sugar in an Oreo
1:08:38
1? But it's a process.
1:08:40
Yeah, Well, that that there's only one thing in your body that
1:08:44
can digest that, and you're fucking it up as it's digesting.
1:08:49
14 grams. From 1:00.
1:08:53
Yeah, but that's you're. Having 14% of your daily value.
1:08:57
And we like here. Here's how I'm estimating it.

It took us a decent amount of time to like, eat a date and
1:09:03
yeah, you know, we're chewing it.

Bro you're. Oh, I could eat a whole line of
1:09:07
Oreos. Oh yeah, no problem.
1:09:09
Another one. Boom.
1:09:10
Damn, like now you're at 4852%. What's the percent value?
1:09:15
Yeah. 52% dude when Oreos open a 52% year year bro.
1:09:21
I mean, at least. I'm thinking at least one
1:09:24
sitting. If I'm doing.
1:09:24
That and I'll eat Oreos if I'm eating Oreos for real.
1:09:27

I'm like, I can't be trusted. Oh my God, I'm like, I'll skip.
1:13:53
I'm good now with the Oreos for some reason.
1:13:55
I'm good with Oreos. I'll I'll walk right by them.
1:13:57
I don't know what it is. Something about the Oreos, I'm
1:13:59
like, I can walk by that the pot ring.
1:14:01
Ding. I cannot walk by a ring Ding.
1:14:03
Everyone branded him as like a Oreo guy.
1:14:06
I am. I've always been the Oreo guy
1:14:07
now. They're good man now.
1:14:09
They are. Yeah, with milk.
1:14:10
Like come on, you can't beat an Oreo.
1:14:12
Yeah, no gummy worms and shit. That was that's that not was
1:14:16
that is my road trip snack. That's I'm lucky I never got on
1:14:20
the gummy stuff but. It was those gummy vitamins.
1:14:22
Telling me that on the fucking. Cabinet as a kid.
1:14:25
I. Think I think gummies are
1:14:26
definitely one of the worst things for your teeth too.
1:14:29
I have. I have a theory because I never
1:14:31
ever had gummies and I'm basically never had a cavity in
1:14:36
my life. I had one cavity like two years
1:14:38
ago. What?
1:14:39
Yeah. Yeah.
1:14:40
Have you had a cavity before? Absolutely.
1:14:41
Yeah, I've had tons of cavity. Another thing I asked my dentist
1:14:44
too, I was like can you explain why I never had a cavity?
1:14:46
All I eat are oreos, ring Dings and fuck.
1:14:49
Like I just eat like shit I eat. Candy my whole life, chocolate,
1:14:53
everything. And she and I was like, she's
1:14:57
like, it might be because you chew gum a lot.
1:14:58
I was like, I chew gum every single day, multiple pieces.
1:15:02
And she's like, that could be it.
1:15:04
Because it's just like grabbing. Yeah, It's like, yeah, but when
1:15:07
I'm chewing. I was about to give you my
1:15:09
theory for that. Like let's.
1:15:10
Trident, so it's sugar free. I think, yeah, right.
1:15:15
I didn't even notice that was sugar free until like five years
1:15:18
ago, but. I feel like when you're chewing
1:15:19
like gummy worms and shit, since you're pressing down and you
1:15:22
have to pull back up, yeah, that's what's pulling like shit
1:15:26
from your teeth. I don't.
1:15:26
Fuck no. Because because of filling.
1:15:29
Tootsie Rolls. Imagine that shit.
1:15:30
You wouldn't. You wouldn't imagine you.
1:15:32
Never had a cavity the vanilla until you.
1:15:33
Until. It pulled.
1:15:34
Your teeth out. Whoa, the vanilla ones was
1:15:37
weird. I had.
1:15:38
One of those, the blue 1 blue packets.
1:15:40
'Cause they was the last thing in the Halloween bucket that I
1:15:43
had by the door and let me, I tried one of these shits.
1:15:45
They're good, dude. I had no idea how different.
1:15:48
Flavored ones. It's all right when it's all
1:15:49
white. Weird, weird.
1:15:50
Whoa, yes dude, no, that is fuck.
1:15:56
I haven't had candy this entire year.
1:15:59
Actually good. False.
1:16:01
I had Joe my my roommate, my roommate, both my my two
1:16:07
roommates. They're a couple but Joe and
1:16:10
Daryl are both my separate friends and Joe had a open bag
1:16:14
of fucking the watermelon sour patch kids the other day on the
1:16:19
kitchen counter and she wasn't around.
1:16:22
I know she don't listen to this but I was like oh let me take
1:16:25
like 2. I took two of them and I thought
1:16:29
to myself, like, fuck, like, you know, when you bite into it and
1:16:32
it just, like, hurts? Yeah.
1:16:34
Because you're like, it was the first sweet thing you've eaten
1:16:36
in so long. You're just.
1:16:37
Like it does some weird feeling, right?
1:16:39
Wow. What is that shit?
1:16:41
It's your wisdom teeth. Bro, that's when you know you're
1:16:43
like, I probably should not be eating this.
1:16:45
It's. Your wisdom teeth?
1:16:45
Yeah. Yeah.
1:16:45
Do you have your wisdom teeth? Yeah.
1:16:47
Are you serious? Yeah.
1:16:48
No, it is. Somebody told me it was that.
1:16:50
My wisdom teeth. Are you sure?
1:16:52
What is it about your wisdom to you that's like?
1:16:54
I just bite into it and fucking hurts like I don't know it's.
1:16:57
Not a doubt there, but there's a sensation.
1:16:59
Yeah, it. Hurts, Oh no, it hurts me.
1:17:01
I put those that's different. It doesn't like hurt, but I'm
1:17:03
like and I feel it right here. That's.
1:17:06
Different than what I have. And I'm like, damn, what the
1:17:08
hell was that all? The way back.
1:17:09
Pretty good, Yeah. Cool, Yeah, I like water now.
1:17:13
Yeah, water. Yeah, water's good.
1:17:15
When I'm, when I'm feeling something, I'm like, when was
1:17:18
the last time I had water? And now I carry this with me.
1:17:21
Best thing? OK, Worst thing my parents ever
1:17:23
did not give me fruit. Best thing they ever did was not
1:17:25
give me soda. Yeah, I never had soda growing
1:17:28
up until yeah, that. I had McDonald's bro.
1:17:32
Don't bring up McDonald's, right?
1:17:34
That shit was good. I was like a young kid driving
1:17:38
up and down East Coast with my dad.
1:17:40
He would, he used to sell like home decoration stuff or
1:17:45
wholesale. So he would sell to stores and
1:17:48
he'd go up from up to like Massachusetts down to, like,
1:17:53
Washington, Yeah. Go up and down Northeast and the
1:17:56
M bro the M. Is the R the arts?
1:17:59
The arches, whatever. Yeah, bro.
1:18:02
The Golden Arches. Yeah, what are you ordering as a
1:18:04
kid? What are you going?
1:18:04
What was? What was dragging you in there
1:18:07
every. Happy meals, but I want some
1:18:08
toys. I was eating a Big Mac as a
1:18:12
child. Dude, the Big Mac.
1:18:14
Back then, the Big Mac back then look like the picture.
1:18:18
Yes, it did. You were.
1:18:19
You were just. You were small.
1:18:21
Yeah. OK, yeah, that's true.
1:18:23
But but also when I was having the Big Macs, it was when my
1:18:25
family was like we would drive up and down to Florida.
1:18:27
My one of my great uncles had a timeshare down there.
1:18:30
But like the the Big Mac in Florida, for some reason it.
1:18:34
Hit different was. Mad good.
1:18:36
Yeah, so good. Right on the beach.
1:18:40
No, just like maybe like a foot hop skip away from I drive in
1:18:44
Orlando. Like it's just literally Big
1:18:46
Mac. Big.
1:18:47
Mac sauce, those Nuggets, shredded lettuce and shit.
1:18:50
Oh. Yeah, that was horrible.
1:18:52
Sodas, Candy. Yep, everything.
1:18:56
That's road trip food. I mean, you know, that's what we
1:18:59
do, yeah. That's it.
1:19:00
Makes sense we. Love that shit.
1:19:01
Yeah, do you, do you guys ever have non flashbacks of the how
1:19:05
the Mcnuggets used to taste? Yeah.
1:19:08
Yeah, sometimes you just be driving.
1:19:09
You see the arches, you're like. I know it's good but not anymore
1:19:12
are fun. Oh.
1:19:12
Yeah, then you think of the PITA video and you're like, OK, maybe
1:19:16
I don't need the Nuggets. I don't really care about that.
1:19:18
I watched that video, watch that video in school, watched it in
1:19:22
high school. They just throw the whole
1:19:24
chicken in there, grind it all up.
1:19:25
Yeah, I mean. That's why it tasted like beak
1:19:27
sometimes. Yeah.
1:19:28
Because it was. What you you not buy ground
1:19:31
chicken at the store? I do sometimes.
1:19:33
I just buy a little. Tenderloin guys.
1:19:35
I buy ground Turkey or ground beef or ground chicken so then I
1:19:39
can just shovel it right into my mouth when I'm at home.
1:19:42
I don't have to cut anything, I just need to eat it because I
1:19:45
need to go. That makes sense.
1:19:47
But when I saw those videos in high school, a buddy of mine had
1:19:52
McDonald's that day. Like at lunch.
1:19:56
Yeah, you're allowed to go out. Check this shit out.
1:19:58
Yeah, like, yeah, damn, yo, we should go get McDonald's during
1:20:01
lunch. Damn.
1:20:02
Yeah, yeah, yeah it. Like, made him hungry.
1:20:04
Yeah, that's weird. That's actually probably
1:20:07
terrible. All right, anyway, so when did
1:20:10
you get your current spot like your current?
1:20:13
How long have you been over? There.
1:20:14
Oh I'm going on this is my 4th going on 5th year.
1:20:18
Oh OK, so huh? After traction we moved to car
1:20:26
to rent. Oh.
1:20:28
My God, that. No, I definitely remember that
1:20:31
because wait a minute. I've been there.
1:20:33
Another friend of mine I've been I had an S13 there.
1:20:37
Yeah, that's yeah. The red one, yeah.
1:20:39
Dude, I met you a long. Time.
1:20:41
Yeah. Chris's SR20 is out of that car
1:20:45
or was supposed to be in that car.
1:20:47
Yeah, yeah, or something. I remember that.
1:20:49
Shot Yeah. Yeah, it's funny.
1:20:50
Oh my God, dude. That was an awesome shot.
1:20:53
I loved that fucking place. It was like.
1:20:55
And it was like a zone. Exactly.
1:20:57
Yeah. That's what one would bother me.
1:21:00
So we went there, COVID happened and my lease was up and they
1:21:06
sold the property, so I couldn't stay.
1:21:10
So I left. I knew there was, I knew it was,
1:21:13
I knew my lease was going to be up and I didn't know what was
1:21:16
happening because I was going to try to do a partnership with
1:21:19
somebody. That didn't work out.
1:21:23
Bad move, but I saved up a lot of money because I'm like,
1:21:27
there's going to be some space while we wait for the new shop.
1:21:32
So COVID, I was out of business, not because of Kovid, but
1:21:36
because I didn't make the right move.
1:21:39
So I had a great fucking time during the movie.
1:21:43
I was gonna say, what kind of hobbies did you pick up?
1:21:46
What did you do? Because that was fucking five
1:21:49
years ago now. Yeah.
1:21:50
What the? Yeah, I left March 2020, March
1:21:56
2020. I, I, I left like a month before
1:21:59
because I'm like, I'm not getting kicked out or anything
1:22:01
like that. Or they locked me, locked the
1:22:04
shop because like I was over my lease already.
1:22:07
So I just like, picked up my shit one day and left.
1:22:13
Yeah, I picked up mountain biking.
1:22:15
My shoulder really still hurts. Oh no.
1:22:17
Yeah, yeah. No, but.
1:22:19
That shit is fun. Yeah, it does look fun, that.
1:22:21
Shit's really fun. How intensive mountain biking
1:22:24
are we talking? Like, are you going to Creek?
1:22:26
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like.
1:22:29
Season Tickets Season tickets are out right now.
1:22:32
Like fuck it's fun, I'm just scared to get hurt now.
1:22:36
Man, that sounds awesome. You still got plenty of time
1:22:39
bro. I know, I just don't want to get
1:22:40
hurt and that can't work. I'm very competitive with me and
1:22:44
like my boys very, very competitive.
1:22:47
So like it fucks us up. Like if I'm not better, I have
1:22:52
to be better somehow. How?
1:22:54
Did you fuck your shoulder up? I went into a tree.
1:22:57
OK, I went into a tree. Yeah, yeah, that'll do it.
1:23:00
That'll do it out of nowhere. The tree came out of nowhere.
1:23:05
Yeah. So I would you know how they
1:23:08
like slalom when they ski and they like hit whatever that like
1:23:13
pull is, you know, so they'll they'll do that and that's like
1:23:17
it's super. So I would ride my bike and I'd
1:23:20
get really close into the hit the apex, you know, obviously,
1:23:26
you know. Well anyways, one time I went
1:23:29
too far in the bike kept going and I didn't so like my home.
1:23:37
I just went right into my shoulder and.
1:23:40
So just like a little trap. I don't think I just, I mean,
1:23:44
felt like I dislocated that shit, you know, Like it was, it
1:23:47
was bad. I just like, walked myself back
1:23:50
down the bucking hill and I'm like, oh, I got to stop for a
1:23:53
little bit. I feel like you don't have to
1:23:55
push that hard though, right? You were just pushing that hard
1:23:57
because you were competitive. No, that's by myself.
1:24:00
Or you you'll just get hurt. This hurt no matter what if you
1:24:03
go on one of these things. Absolutely.
1:24:05
Yeah, OK, maybe I should. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:24:08
Oh, no, that's, that's my style. Yeah, you can slow down.
1:24:12
There are, there are days where I'm just like, yeah, I'm just
1:24:14
gonna like, Nah, people like egg me on probably like the second
1:24:18
or third time I went on, I went to Mountain Creek and there's
1:24:22
like these, there's these fucking crazy jumps, bro.
1:24:24
And I was like, yeah, you can do it.
1:24:26
Just follow me. Yeah.
1:24:28
He tows you in. He tows you follow him.
1:24:31
Yeah. Yeah.
1:24:31
Nope. Nope.
1:24:32
I know how this goes. Man, Yeah, yeah, I did a few of
1:24:35
them and I'm good. And there's some, I got a video
1:24:38
of one where I do a jump over this fucking like overpass
1:24:42
bridge and I'm slow. I got on a GoPro slowly doing a
1:24:48
front. Flip No.
1:24:49
No. Exactly.
1:24:50
Made it, and I made it. Everyone on the side was like,
1:24:55
you were dead. We saw it.
1:24:57
You were dead. And somehow you hit the front
1:24:59
tire and the back tire went down.
1:25:02
Yeah, somehow. And yeah.
1:25:04
That's not how it happens every time because I was out with
1:25:08
playing fucking now, but not. Maybe not to that extent, but
1:25:13
hey, man, yeah, just just follow my speed and we'll just coast
1:25:17
right over the jumps. Follow my buddy's speed case.
1:25:22
the OR. I don't know if you would call
1:25:23
that a case. Yeah, that's a case when you're
1:25:25
short, but there's it's not a tabletop.
1:25:27
So there's a. So there's a gap?
1:25:30
Yeah, you're. Done.
1:25:31
Yeah, that's a point. Boom.
1:25:33
Yeah. Right down, went over the bars.
1:25:36
Oh no, landed on my back. Yeah.
1:25:42
Yeah, it's like a lot like. You see, you see some of these
1:25:45
pros, they just get the fuck back up.
1:25:46
I'm like what? You just.
1:25:48
You were a rag doll like 2 seconds ago.
1:25:50
Yeah, and it would have been cooler too if the jump was like
1:25:53
the Pro 1. Yeah, it was a little one.
1:25:56
Yeah, yeah, the one I was talking about, a 60 year old guy
1:26:00
could do it. That's what I did after, right
1:26:03
after him. He has like this old suspension.
1:26:05
Like why? Frame suspension bike, No nice
1:26:07
shocks. No, I have like this $7000
1:26:10
freaking bike. You know, nice Cannondale.
1:26:13
Every tidbit I can touch, I touched.
1:26:16
That was my that was not my budget.
1:26:18
My budget was like $2000. Whoa.
1:26:22
Yeah, but you. But you.
1:26:23
Had to go ahead and be a mean. Yeah, there you go.
1:26:25
There you go. Jump higher with this, I think,
1:26:27
you know, it's it's not skill, it's just the you just need the
1:26:30
bike, Yeah. You're just doing videos where
1:26:32
where they like to know the bike on the ground and it's like,
1:26:36
yeah, the suspension like works perfectly.
1:26:38
It doesn't bounce. Carl's dirty at snowboarding,
1:26:41
that's what he's good at. I like the snowboarding.
1:26:43
Nice, I haven't done it yet. You.
1:26:45
Probably. Love.
1:26:46
It you would love it absolutely. You would love it absolutely.
1:26:50
Just the spirit of it is nice. It's kind of similar to mountain
1:26:53
biking where it's the people who are on the mountain are all
1:26:56
there to do the same thing. So it's like people are pretty
1:27:00
helpful. Once you get it, it's fucking
1:27:02
sweet. It's just music on just coasting
1:27:05
down. The problem is I don't want to
1:27:07
look at how to do it. I just want to go and be like I
1:27:09
can do this and everyone says don't do that.
1:27:12
I think you just got to go with someone who knows.
1:27:14
When I went with them, it was like I pretty much knew how to
1:27:18
ride a snowboard within like 2 hours and I was like, OK, and I
1:27:22
just watched what they were doing, you know?
1:27:23
Yeah. So I.
1:27:24
Think that you could do it what you would.
1:27:27
What I would do is like, I would go to try it and then once I
1:27:29
fucked up enough and I have to eat up my own words, I'm like,
1:27:32
all right, how the fuck do I do this?
1:27:33
And like, yeah, I always figure it out, that's for sure.
1:27:36
But I feel like it's easy. Then I'm like, everyone's
1:27:39
telling me no, like you need someone to help you, so
1:27:42
whatever. We'll see.
1:27:43
Did did biking? Like put a lot of stress on your
1:27:46
body. Did you feel it like when you
1:27:47
would, when you would start? I felt really good.
1:27:50
OK, snowboarding fucking ruined me.
1:27:53
No, it hurts. Yeah, no, I know.
1:27:55
No, it hurts. Like after the long run, like my
1:27:58
body was in shape. It was nice.
1:28:00
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, if you're sitting there
1:28:02
snowboarding every every week, like your body gets like,
1:28:06
strong. You know, yeah, I was.
1:28:07
Working out muscles I didn't know I had.
1:28:09
Yeah. No, you had, Yeah.
1:28:10
Yeah, yeah, like I woke. Up the next day and I was like
1:28:12
holy shit. Yeah, it feels like somebody, a
1:28:15
horse, just came and just. Literally fell off a horse or
1:28:18
something. I was like.
1:28:19
What the I like the stresses of of like snowboarding on your
1:28:22
like your knees and your hips. You just got to stretch and like
1:28:26
it is. Fun.
1:28:27
If you can learn how to snowboard and not hurt yourself
1:28:30
it it is fun. Get some.
1:28:31
Fluid flowing through your joints like.
1:28:33
Just got in there. It jumps there too, yeah.
1:28:35
Oh yeah, dude, I'd definitely. Be fucked.
1:28:38
Yeah, dude, you would love. It 100% you would.
1:28:40
Love it. What the hell are we even
1:28:43
talking? About We're just chilling, but.
1:28:44
Yeah, we should definitely go. Yeah, that we snow like right
1:28:48
now. We could.
1:28:49
You know what's crazy is we really could one of these days.
1:28:53
That's wild they have that indoors.
1:28:55
That place is hell. That place is hell.
1:28:57
Is it good? No.
1:28:58
I. Liked it though.
1:29:00
It's the snowboarding part. Who who doesn't love like a
1:29:05
little indoor? I'm talking about that mall.
1:29:07
Oh yeah. That mall is designed by Satan
1:29:10
himself. Why?
1:29:12
The parking lots are all like a. Crazy.
1:29:16
Conundrum I want to get to Big Snow all right, parking a where
1:29:21
the motherfuck is A and. You got to pay for.
1:29:23
It I get into parking AI park it I walk into the mall, Big snow
1:29:27
is on the opposite side of the mall.
1:29:29
Like what the fuck? So now you're walking through
1:29:31
the whole mall with all your snowboard.
1:29:32
Geared. I was geared up like I'm just.
1:29:35
Yeah, I see now I'm like, look at this fucking walking through
1:29:39
the mall. Dude, people will come here and
1:29:43
like, they're really. Oh yeah, we were visiting the
1:29:46
whatever American Dream mall American Dream.
1:29:48
I was like, you should go to Garden State Plaza.
1:29:50
That's a good mall. That was a good.
1:29:52
But people really come here now to visit that mall.
1:29:53
It's crazy. It's.
1:29:55
Not it's not. Massive dude I've.
1:29:57
Been there one time and it was just to go get a computer
1:29:59
because we needed one for a car. Yeah, the that was it.
1:30:02
The fucking the parking situation annoys me.
1:30:06
And now every time there's an event at American Dream, I'll
1:30:08
just comment on it. I don't have to comment on it,
1:30:11
but I'll be like, if it wasn't at American Dream.
1:30:13
And then everyone else comments why, why, why, why?
1:30:16
It's called the parking's hell. I mean at least it's open now.
1:30:20
Fucking that shit was just there for. 15 years dude, Carteret,
1:30:24
you were probably passing that Oh yeah, fucking empty ass
1:30:28
structure for years. So I I lived in the area I lived
1:30:33
in there. So I moved from Jersey City down
1:30:35
to Linden, OK. So is it Oh.
1:30:37
That's where I work, yeah. 15 minutes.
1:30:39
Yeah, Yeah. Dude, your commute has never
1:30:41
been more than yeah, fuck that. Oh God bless.
1:30:44
That's sick. That's why you could do a little
1:30:48
refresh after work, come back and.
1:30:49
Now you're close to your other shop too.
1:30:51
So, yeah, so that kind of worked out itself out.
1:30:57
I couldn't find the shop during COVID and I was just slowly
1:31:02
getting rid of my savings, going back into Creek and having fun.
1:31:08
And at some point I had to like slow it down.
1:31:10
And we moved up up north because my wife is from up north and we
1:31:17
had our first kid and he was going to school and she got him
1:31:22
into like a lottery. So he was able to go to school.
1:31:25
Excuse me early. So I'm like fuck everything.
1:31:30
Kids going to school is most important.
1:31:32
So we're moving close to the school so we can get in.
1:31:37
Anyways, I'm over here looking for a shout.
1:31:40
Can't find shit. I'm like, I'll go down a cart of
1:31:42
red. I don't know what's going on.
1:31:44
Everyone like raising prices, whatever.
1:31:48
Anyways, I'm like about to like cry my fucking balls, my eyes
1:31:51
out and I just drive down 1 and 9 and I'm like I'm going down
1:31:58
every block And his old Italian guy didn't put anything online
1:32:03
has a big ass for rent sign And I I go in, he's there and I'm
1:32:08
like, what are you renting out? He's like this and I'm like,
1:32:11
this ain't going to work because it's the same size as old shop
1:32:14
and I got a powder coat and I want something nicer.
1:32:16
Obviously we always make it nicer.
1:32:19
He's like, I'm going to retire and I'll give you my side.
1:32:23
And that's probably gonna be in a few months.
1:32:25
And I'm like, sold. How much can you give it to me?
1:32:27
You know? And that's how we found the,
1:32:31
the, the current shop, which. Yeah, it, it, it took some
1:32:36
blood, sweat and tears and a lot of tears.
1:32:39
Damn. Yeah.
1:32:39
You. Really.
1:32:40
You really said I'm gonna fucking go down every one of
1:32:43
these? Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
1:32:44
Yeah, yeah. That's.
1:32:45
A success story, it's. Pretty crazy.
1:32:47
It's pretty crazy. I but as much as I was crying,
1:32:51
like that turned into the hustle, you know?
1:32:53
Yeah, that turned into the hustle.
1:32:56
My landlord stayed for 2 1/2 years.
1:33:00
I was going to ask you. Yeah, yeah.
1:33:02
'Cause it seemed like he didn't 'cause you, you.
1:33:04
It took a while to get that second spot right.
1:33:06
Yeah, Yeah. So I have, like, a stubborn
1:33:11
Italian. Yeah, you know, And he's just
1:33:13
like, I don't know what I want to do, you know?
1:33:16
I don't. I'm not.
1:33:16
I'm just going to go home and die or something, you know?
1:33:18
He's 77 years old, like a horse, like I, I hope I'm like that
1:33:23
when I'm that age. And he's like, that's all I
1:33:26
know. I've been working since I was
1:33:28
like 2 1/2, you know. And so eventually he, he had
1:33:34
like an act like a freak accident because he tried to
1:33:37
like, fix the garage door and like, messed up over the
1:33:39
weekend. So, and he fell on his head
1:33:42
straight down from like over the office.
1:33:45
So yeah, like dive, he's lucky someone found them because he
1:33:50
was bleeding out. Oh my God.
1:33:51
And then he's and then his wife was like, that's it, Yeah,
1:33:54
you're not working no more. He was, I think, 7677.
1:33:57
What was he doing anyway? Fixing the oh, he's
1:34:00
construction, he's in like masonry, I don't know, asphalt
1:34:05
something. Yeah, so construction stuff,
1:34:08
typical Italian stuff, but and then he's like, that's it, I'm
1:34:16
out. You can have this side.
1:34:18
Would you like to pay rent now? And I'm like, I like, I need to
1:34:22
get to give me. It's winter time.
1:34:25
We got no money. Yeah.
1:34:27
This is the slowest time for us, but we managed to make it work.
1:34:31
About 2 1/2 years in we managed to make it work.
1:34:33
He always gave us a piece of the shop though, so he was really
1:34:36
nice to like he like shortened his whole operation and gave us
1:34:44
the back cuz I got a powder coat.
1:34:46
That's our main stuff. Yeah.
1:34:48
So we set up everything in the back, like in a small area and
1:34:52
just continue to powder coat that way.
1:34:56
Yeah. So eventually he left and now we
1:34:57
have the whole shop. Yeah, yeah.
1:34:59
That's cool, man. Yeah, that's when I saw it,
1:35:00
right. It was.
1:35:01
You had the whole. Thing, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, we
1:35:03
have both doors open and you can see it any anytime you pass.
1:35:06
Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, it's not bad.
1:35:09
We got The Dirty side and the clean side.
1:35:10
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's.
1:35:12
Haitians, right? There, Yeah.
1:35:14
And unfortunate about the owner, obviously.
1:35:16
Yeah, he's a good thing. I'm.
1:35:18
Glad it worked out, and I'm glad that you know that that also
1:35:21
worked. Out.
1:35:21
Yeah, yeah. Well, people like that are not
1:35:23
gonna quit unless they get told to.
1:35:25
So my family. He's still working.
1:35:27
He does fit on the side. Yeah.
1:35:28
Crazy. Yeah, he, yeah.
1:35:30
I mean, I get it. That's most people, most old
1:35:33
people like they stop and then they just, they just they're
1:35:36
gone, you know. So I usually say you got to keep
1:35:38
doing it. Anyways.
1:35:39
My dad was same thing 86 years old when he passed away and he
1:35:44
was like in the hospital bed with like cancer and COVID time.
1:35:49
He died in December 2020. So it was like a little towards
1:35:54
Anna COVID, but and he's like, yo, I have to get out of here.
1:35:58
We got to pay bills and I got to like figure out how to make
1:36:01
money. I'm like, yeah, yeah.
1:36:02
He's like, I got to go to like overseas.
1:36:04
I'm doing this. I'm like bro what are you
1:36:07
talking about? My grandfather died the same
1:36:11
exact time and everything and he was 92 and he's the same way
1:36:15
talking about work as he's on the deathbed.
1:36:19
What? Do you think about this idea?
1:36:20
What do you think about? It yeah, like grandfather was.
1:36:22
The. Getting right beforehand.
1:36:24
He literally had his glasses on and a notebook, right?
1:36:27
Yeah, bro. What?
1:36:29
Yeah, they're, they're just different.
1:36:30
Memories. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:36:33
That's really where I got my hustle between like my whole
1:36:35
family is kind of like that, like lazy fucks.
1:36:39
But. Lazy but.
1:36:41
Not really, I don't. Think you're lazy?
1:36:42
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We make things work for us.
1:36:44
I think that's what you know, like I am I, I think I am lazy,
1:36:48
but I think. Yeah, I think that's just
1:36:50
something that you need to have in your mind when you're not
1:36:54
lazy, honestly. Like I think I'm lazy too.
1:36:56
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, look around, like look
1:36:59
around your shot like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:37:00
Obviously we're not lazy. Yeah, so I tend to like my
1:37:04
shop's slow. I'm not like a regular.
1:37:06
If I do like mechanic work like a suspension job, let's say we
1:37:10
can knock it out like 2-3 hours, not too bad.
1:37:12
You know, I do the whole damn day.
1:37:14
Yeah, you know, I do the whole damn day and it's, it's still a
1:37:17
good day. You still make you still make
1:37:19
decent amount of money and and you have fun.
1:37:22
Yes. The main thing is to continue to
1:37:24
have fun. Like I tell that even to my
1:37:25
guys, I'm not like, yo, you can do, I know we can do 2-3
1:37:29
suspension jobs in one day and and we all make more money.
1:37:33
No, like, let's relax, let's enjoy.
1:37:36
I've already fucked up and messed.
1:37:38
I've already done the crazy hustle of like 24 hours.
1:37:41
Keep going, keep going. You don't have to do that, you
1:37:43
know? Yeah.
1:37:44
You're like the second we had, we had super life on here.
1:37:48
Yeah. OK, come on, come on.
1:37:50
Yeah. And I feel like when we had him
1:37:55
on a couple of years ago, his attitude was a little different
1:38:01
in terms of like head to the pavement work.
1:38:05
Yeah, like gotta go, gotta go. And then we had him on recently.
1:38:10
Just generally he, I'm not saying that he was happier, but
1:38:14
like there was a like, did you, did you notice that?
1:38:17
Yeah, I did. But I also know that there's
1:38:18
that one thing that changed. Yeah, he had a kid.
1:38:21
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we did talk about that and
1:38:23
he actually it did seem like the kid was one of the but but the.
1:38:26
Main reasons to come home. Like he was like, Nope.
1:38:31
Going home. Yeah, you know, yeah.
1:38:33
Or or. I'm doing this because you know,
1:38:35
he's having fun, still doing. Yeah, yeah.
1:38:38
I mean, so, yeah. You're the second business owner
1:38:40
to say. That yeah, I, I wouldn't have a
1:38:44
Sunday off if I didn't have a child.
1:38:46
So my first child, he didn't know me for six months, 'cause I
1:38:51
would work and I'm like, I fucked this.
1:38:54
I'm, I'm taking Sunday off. Yeah, I'm taking one day off and
1:38:58
that's kind of still up. And now I have 4 kids.
1:39:03
So now it's my last. Like I'm a dead fish now.
1:39:07
I cut everything off. I'm not having any more kids.
1:39:10
So this is my last chance to like, you know, enjoy them, you
1:39:15
know? So now I'm like, yeah, fuck it,
1:39:18
I'm going home. Yeah.
1:39:19
It's. You work Saturdays.
1:39:21
It's more I still work Saturdays, I still work
1:39:23
Saturdays. Yeah, you're not going home.
1:39:24
Yet no, I'm going. I am.
1:39:26
Maybe at 3:00. Yeah, yeah.
1:39:27
Like, like literally this year, like Ramadan, I go home every
1:39:31
like last year I didn't. Yeah, last year I'm like, you
1:39:34
know. You're fasting in the shop?
1:39:36
Yeah. Oh my God, that would be fucking
1:39:39
passing out. What the hell?
1:39:41
That's not bad. It's not.
1:39:42
You get used to after 2-3 days, all right?
1:39:44
Yeah, After 2-3 I. Think I'd be good at it.
1:39:47
I think I'm good. At it's not bad.
1:39:48
It's really not that bad. The big thing for everybody is
1:39:51
like, you can't have a drink. That's hard.
1:39:54
Yeah. No water.
1:39:56
That's hard. No intake, nothing at all.
1:39:59
Nothing at all. So it's been.
1:40:01
Back to the kids, like I wake up in the morning before sunrise
1:40:05
and we cook up like a good meal. Have some dates, you know, have
1:40:08
some dates. Protein, obviously, You know, we
1:40:12
don't eat pork, but like, Turkey bacon.
1:40:14
And like, if I have something from leftover from the night
1:40:17
before, like chicken or whatever, eggs, a little bit of
1:40:20
carbs, and that puts us through the day.
1:40:23
Yeah. It's really not bad.
1:40:24
It's actually really good for work because I don't kinda take
1:40:27
a break. Yeah.
1:40:28
Dude, I was just, I'd be drinking.
1:40:30
I'd be drinking 2 gallons of water before the sun comes up.
1:40:32
Yeah, it's not good for you. I wouldn't.
1:40:34
I used to do that. So you can't.
1:40:36
Drink that much water in a short amount of time right you.
1:40:38
Throw up? No, you're gonna piss it all out
1:40:40
and lose all your electrolytes. So usually probably it's like
1:40:44
maybe 2-3 cups and you'll retain it.
1:40:47
So there is this whatever science, you know, that's worked
1:40:50
for me at least. Yeah, I'll have one.
1:40:52
I'll have one full like maybe 20 ounces of water or something.
1:40:56
And that's good for me for. That and how long is this?
1:40:58
2 weeks? A month?
1:40:59
What is it? It's a month and the month
1:41:02
changes every year because we use a lunar calendar.
1:41:05
So every year it's like 2 weeks back.
1:41:10
So next year it we won't have daylight savings in the middle,
1:41:14
which really messes alone. Yeah, it really.
1:41:17
Changes it, you know, so we were breaking our fast at like 6:00.
1:41:22
Now it's around 7:00 because of daylight savings.
1:41:25
So you kind of have to, again, it's an hour.
1:41:27
It's not really a big deal, but it changes everything.
1:41:29
It changed in the middle. It's just a perception of it
1:41:32
because the other day I forgot it was daylight savings and I
1:41:35
was just hanging out outside getting some things done.
1:41:39
By that time I'm usually inside eating dinner or something so
1:41:43
that I'm not going to be like, you know, fucking.
1:41:46
I had gone. I know where I know.
1:41:48
I keep saying it's really hard for me to.
1:41:50
It would be hard for me to fast. I just do that shit by accident
1:41:53
sometimes because I'm just moving moving.
1:41:55
You're working. Yeah, you're going.
1:41:57
But then it was daylight savings time and I was like, damn, man,
1:42:01
I've got a lot of time to feel kind of light headed right now.
1:42:04
Like what the oh, whoa, it's 730.
1:42:08
Whoa. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:42:10
Damn like so now I try to keep like protein bars in my car or
1:42:14
something so that when I'm going from place to place or.
1:42:17
Something I'm just, oh, shit, yeah, real quick, yeah.
1:42:20
Just I got to eat something. I got into a bad habit of just
1:42:23
doing that. Yeah, not, not, not.
1:42:26
It's not too bad, Ramadan. It's pretty pretty easy you.
1:42:29
Will persevere. There's nothing that you cannot
1:42:31
do with. Me the the toughest 1 is middle
1:42:34
of summer, so yeah. So in a eventually a couple
1:42:39
years from now it'll be in June and we eat at 9 and the and the
1:42:44
9 if not after and the day is so much longer.
1:42:48
Oh, 'cause it's just all the sun's done, it's not the time.
1:42:52
Oh. My God, it's not the sun.
1:42:54
So, yeah. So like, you're eating madly,
1:42:56
which is not good, not great for you 'cause you can't digest it
1:43:00
and then you have to wake up really early so you can eat it,
1:43:03
I mean. So you can eat before.
1:43:04
So eat again. For me, I, it's kind of turned
1:43:07
into like wake up, wake up the kids.
1:43:11
Like my daughter is 7 years old. She wakes my ass up and says I'm
1:43:16
not fasting unless, and she fasts like usually my, my
1:43:20
family's like she doesn't, she's like super same thing as me.
1:43:24
She's going to try to do everything as hard as possible,
1:43:27
you know, And yeah, she's like, I'm fasting the whole Ramadan
1:43:30
this year. And my wife's like, Nah, she's
1:43:33
too young for that. And I was going to ask you like,
1:43:36
what do you do with the kids? I I guess that's what you do.
1:43:38
You let them make their own decision.
1:43:39
Yeah, I, I used to be a little bitch.
1:43:41
Yeah, yeah, I'd get, I would get to like 4:00 or 5:00.
1:43:44
I look at my mom. I'm like, you know, like, Oh my
1:43:48
God, we need to eat. This is bullshit.
1:43:52
You know, like what kind of God would do this to?
1:43:56
You. You know, like, but it turned
1:44:00
into like something that we do and bond together with, you
1:44:04
know, so like that's why I enjoy for me this, this it took me
1:44:08
3038 years. This Roman's like very special,
1:44:14
you know, like I'm I've never been super religious.
1:44:17
I still I am not too much, but like this kind of like got me
1:44:22
closer because my daughter just like asking questions or my
1:44:26
son's asking questions. I'm like, God damn, I got to
1:44:28
answer this shit and that sounds smart.
1:44:31
Now you got to be. The person that that those that
1:44:34
your kids. Are you got to be somewhat of a
1:44:37
actual role model? Like what if, what if Pop was
1:44:40
fucking yeah, you got to do that.
1:44:42
And then? You know, like.
1:44:44
Fucking. Yeah, yeah, absolutely,
1:44:46
absolutely. You seem like you're doing a
1:44:49
really great job. We're trying.
1:44:51
We're all just trying. I mean, the fastest thing is
1:44:53
awesome though. It's good for you too.
1:44:57
It is, yeah. If you use it the right way, it
1:44:59
is really, really good for you. Yeah.
1:45:02
I mean, it's supposed to clean your body.
1:45:04
Yeah, when you're not eating, obviously the whatever cells are
1:45:08
looking for like other fat cells to eat or whatever.
1:45:11
So it goes after cancers or or whatever.
1:45:15
Yeah, You know, I grew up Roman Catholic, so we just had to talk
1:45:17
to some dude in the closet. I was.
1:45:19
Yeah. And then like.
1:45:20
When you do something wrong. Like, yeah, you got to go tell.
1:45:23
Someone behind a veil, but. I'm I was not very weird.
1:45:26
I was not religious or anything like that.
1:45:28
I don't have any kids so I can't really compare but I don't know
1:45:31
if I would. The problem for me was like, I
1:45:34
wasn't religious, but my parents really were.
1:45:36
And so when like I don't know how many other people feel like
1:45:41
this, but I'm Filipino and I did not have any slightest interest
1:45:48
in being there. And when you don't have an
1:45:51
interest in something as a child and you're forced to do it, you
1:45:54
then grow this crazy amount of spite towards it for no reason.
1:45:59
Like now you're now Now as a child, I feel like I was being
1:46:02
pretty not disrespectful like I'm going to churches and like
1:46:05
spray painting them or whatever, but I just, I'm like not wanting
1:46:08
to go to church because of me being forced to go.
1:46:11
But I do understand like how my parents wanted to, they shared
1:46:14
the beliefs with me and I took what I can from it and now I'm
1:46:19
here. Yeah, you're still a good person
1:46:21
from it, right? So that's always a good thing.
1:46:23
I think all religions are just like morals for the most part,
1:46:28
right? Yeah, but I was really bad.
1:46:31
I got kicked out of my mosque on purpose because there's people.
1:46:34
We're in America, bro. There's kids playing outside.
1:46:38
Who the hell goes to school on Saturday and Sunday?
1:46:41
And I got to learn about all, Yeah, I got kicked out on
1:46:45
purpose. You know, I like hitting people
1:46:47
and like that we can't have this, this monstrosity in our
1:46:50
school. And my dad tried.
1:46:53
And you know that your family's trying.
1:46:56
Like, it just hit me out of nowhere.
1:47:00
Like, now I'm like, let me learn a little more.
1:47:02
And that way I can teach my kids to be good kids and another good
1:47:07
person as society, you know? Yeah.
1:47:08
So eventually that'll hit. You're just a rebel, bro.
1:47:11
Yeah. We're all everybody.
1:47:13
I feel like. We're kind of.
1:47:15
Created into it, but yeah in this.
1:47:17
In the bubble, bro. In the bubble, we're all rebels.
1:47:20
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
1:47:22
Just. But I mean what you said is it
1:47:24
is like most religions are just morals and stuff like that.
1:47:27
For the most part, yeah. I mean, let's create a good
1:47:29
foundation, but they teach. You like basic non douche
1:47:35
baggery I feel like. Things that things that you
1:47:38
wouldn't learn at home, like, you know what I mean?
1:47:41
Or or maybe things that you'll learn more hearing it from
1:47:44
someone else? Yeah, rather than your parents,
1:47:46
a better way to put, Yeah, I mean, maybe.
1:47:47
Absolutely, absolutely. I like it.
1:47:50
Yeah, like thou shall not steal. That was one of the 10 commands.
1:47:54
Definitely don't steal. I broke every fucking 10
1:47:56
commandment. Dude, all of them.
1:47:58
Yeah, I don't even know all of them, but I.
1:47:59
Broke no there I. Definitely lied in the
1:48:01
confessional. Everything I should know about?
1:48:04
What I was telling, yeah, I was like, what am I supposed to tell
1:48:07
you? I was like.
1:48:08
It was like you're supposed to. You're supposed to tell them
1:48:12
something bad that you did, like confess.
1:48:14
Yeah, confess your sins so then you can repent about.
1:48:16
It and, you know, when you're like whatever, how old we were,
1:48:18
I don't know, 13, yeah, whenever you, you definitely did
1:48:22
something. But for some reason you can't
1:48:24
think of anything you know. This is so weird.
1:48:27
Why the fuck are we? So you're like I?
1:48:29
Yelled at my mom. Yeah.
1:48:31
And they're like, all right. I say 2 Hail Marys and you'll be
1:48:33
all right, Yeah. But now as.
1:48:37
I don't know. What, what, what can I derive
1:48:38
from that? Like, take it on the chin.
1:48:41
I'm just going to tell this person that I did something
1:48:43
wrong to them or if it affected them, I'm just going to be as
1:48:47
forward as I can about it because I did something wrong to
1:48:50
them. I like letting know of their
1:48:51
religions though. That's what I, Yeah, hearing
1:48:53
about, yeah. Other religions and other even,
1:48:57
maybe not even just religions, just other traditions or
1:48:59
cultures or anything like that. It's pretty sick, especially if
1:49:02
you can discuss it. Yeah.
1:49:03
Yeah, I love the cultures more than the religion.
1:49:05
Yeah, because then you, you know, there's, there's a lot
1:49:08
more sustenance to it when you, when you get to think about it a
1:49:12
little bit more instead of just like, oh, they don't eat from
1:49:16
fucking when there's daylight out, that's when I grill hot
1:49:19
dogs like. Yeah.
1:49:22
But. That's actually kind of a cool
1:49:24
thing. I'm about to do Ramadan next
1:49:26
year. I don't think you could just.
1:49:28
I think you can. There's a lot of good memes
1:49:30
about it. Good memes about it.
1:49:33
You got to, can you look? You got to see a sauna.
1:49:36
Yeah, we're doing Ramadan next year at the shop.
1:49:37
When your Co worker tries around but you can't drink water you
1:49:40
know like 3 hours in. Ramadan.
1:49:43
The first person that taught me about this was a Co worker at
1:49:46
work. Yeah.
1:49:47
Yeah. Let The Hunger Games begin.
1:49:49
Is is insane. Oh, that's funny.
1:49:56
Wow, that's me. Yeah, that's me.
1:49:58
I definitely did that. Yeah, I definitely did that.
1:50:01
Absolutely. Oh, wait, wait, when you pretend
1:50:04
to break your fast with the family, but you and Allah know
1:50:07
you already broke it earlier. Yeah, you're you're beat.
1:50:09
You had. You had the oh.
1:50:11
Wait, what's that one with Patrick?
1:50:12
That's. Going to meet you later with the
1:50:19
Big Mac. With the Big Mac, yeah.
1:50:22
Oh yeah. That's funny.
1:50:23
Oh my God, dude. I got to, I got to give that to
1:50:27
like my son or my daughter be like, I left you a surprise for
1:50:30
later. And dude, I'm not even going to.
1:50:33
Maybe that's just me thinking like a kid, but that is like the
1:50:37
memory that would stick with me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like little.
1:50:41
Almost like a Christmas. Little things like that, like
1:50:43
that a parent would do. Like if I woke up and my dad put
1:50:48
a burger in my bed. Dude, I'm remembering that for a
1:50:52
while. I'm not remembering it now
1:50:54
because it never happened, but. Yeah, like, I guess sometimes
1:50:57
religion is good, I guess. Yeah, yeah.
1:51:00
Oh my gosh. Did we get any questions?
1:51:02
We usually did. You post a thing.
1:51:04
I think did Eddie post OK there is Eddie's on top of his shit.
1:51:08
So he might get it. So is Malcolm.
1:51:10
Yeah. Malcolm's a moderate.
1:51:12
Shout out, Malcolm. We haven't got a single Malcolm.
1:51:15
Can we give Malcolm up? What's up?
1:51:17
Do you have a Malcolm game? Whoa.
1:51:19
Oh, Now it's like facing nothing.
1:51:21
Whoa. Yeah, that scares you?
1:51:24
Yeah, dude, Malcolm's killing it.
1:51:25
He runs the ship. He was Googling all these things
1:51:27
for us. Yeah, man.
1:51:28
Come on, dude. Keep your employees happy bro.
1:51:31
Malcolm's happy a. Lot of screens to deal with at
1:51:34
the same. Time.
1:51:35
You know Malcolm's fine. No worry.
1:51:36
We need a Sony Wagga to replace it dude.
1:51:39
Oh. The Mitsubishi TV I I know they
1:51:45
there had to be a relative relative of mine that had one.
1:51:49
Yeah, those things were. Nuts.
1:51:50
It was weird. And Yamaha made stuff.
1:51:51
Yeah, yeah, like. These these fucking comments.
1:51:54
First one, do you fat before you auto?
1:51:56
Yeah, Yeah, we should have. Started with that.
1:52:00
Yeah, PJ, still 80. Oh man.
1:52:04
That will do it, Yeah. It probably has a relaxing day.
1:52:07
I don't know. Here's oh, someone asked why
1:52:09
fat, but we already talked about that.
1:52:11
Another one was how how do you deal with or handle assholes in
1:52:14
the car community? That's, I mean, that's a pretty
1:52:17
good question, but. Try not to try not.
1:52:20
To that is the best. Answer right the same thing made
1:52:26
made this to work for for us you know like if if we don't mesh
1:52:31
together, we're not going to be happy working on your car.
1:52:34
We don't want your, I mean want your money, but like, like, but
1:52:39
at the same time, we're not here to, to do a bad job.
1:52:42
So just give it to the next guy. There's a million good shops out
1:52:45
there. It's not just us, you know,
1:52:47
there's a million good shops, maybe not a million, but there
1:52:50
are a lot of good shops out there.
1:52:51
Just pass it on to the next guy who wants to deal with it.
1:52:54
Yeah, and it's OK. Yeah.
1:52:55
So every time you get one of those customers like so and so
1:52:59
sent me, it's like, OK, well, let's.
1:53:01
See why it's? Hard to learn how to say no,
1:53:03
you're a little slow or, you know, whatever.
1:53:07
You're just like, fuck it, you know, let me just do this oil.
1:53:11
Change and before you know you're in, you're in over your
1:53:13
head and you're like. You had a drain plug bolt and it
1:53:15
literally just falls off or you just.
1:53:19
Like. I don't know when I read that,
1:53:21
when I read that how to deal with or handle assholes in the
1:53:23
car community, I'm just immediately I'm thinking about
1:53:25
people that are like, I don't know, like not to talk bad on
1:53:30
customers, but we really don't have bad customers.
1:53:32
But like, sometimes you'll get a situation where you see it
1:53:34
coming from a mile away and you're like, I don't think I
1:53:37
want to deal with this. Yeah.
1:53:38
I mean, Oh yeah, I'm going to say that about like the takeover
1:53:41
stuff. I've been staying away from all
1:53:43
that. Like I used to go.
1:53:45
Do you guys remember Global on 440?
1:53:48
Wait, was it a a wheelchair? No, because I knew that was like
1:53:53
where the guys would like meet up every Friday and Saturday on
1:53:57
440. Is this the a?
1:53:59
Little meet. Yeah, I don't.
1:54:01
I don't know about it. Yeah, Jersey City 440 like a
1:54:05
bunch of Yeah, a bunch of car now it's by the there's a
1:54:07
Jollibee there. Yeah, sorry, I'm not trying to
1:54:10
be no. No, no, no, no.
1:54:11
Trying to be racist. Relating right over to me, yeah,
1:54:14
that's where it used to be, next to the gyro shop.
1:54:16
Yeah, So Dunkin' Donuts gyro shop.
1:54:19
Yeah. Gyro stop or whatever.
1:54:20
Yeah, whatever. It's not good anymore.
1:54:22
It used to be pretty good. It was bad, yeah.
1:54:25
OK, see, I have a memory with my dad there.
1:54:26
He brought me there. He was like, I used to come back
1:54:28
here during the 80s all the time.
1:54:29
Yeah, yeah. Drove by it the other day.
1:54:31
So they would make races and then there was like some silly
1:54:34
stuff, you know, Sometimes the guys would go do burnouts or
1:54:37
like they'll like do drifts or circles or whatever, but they'd
1:54:41
like go to the other side of the parking lot, you know?
1:54:44
Yeah, by the Babies-R-Us or whatever.
1:54:46
Yeah, whatever. I think it's APC, Richards or
1:54:48
whatever it is, Lowe's Lowe's now.
1:54:50
Yeah, some whatever on the other.
1:54:52
Yeah, the other side and do their thing.
1:54:54
And they'd be like, oh, cool. And then guys, you know, I mean,
1:54:57
one time I seen a girl get hit by like some car doing a burnout
1:55:02
in the main area and they caught a little bit of grip and went
1:55:05
right into her. Boom, pushed her right back.
1:55:08
And I was like, I learned right then and there, never stand in
1:55:11
front of these cars. Yeah.
1:55:12
And that was way before the takeovers.
1:55:14
Now takeovers are crazy. That's like that.
1:55:16
That's like that's like that's light day for.
1:55:18
Them, you know. Boop on a on a female, you're
1:55:20
good. Yeah, yeah.
1:55:21
Oh yeah, yeah. Good day for a takeover.
1:55:23
Like that's easy. Easy day for a takeover.
1:55:26
So yeah, that stuff. I mean, I get it.
1:55:29
Trying to get away from the tail.
1:55:32
Yeah, I like, get some. I'm trying to like I get some of
1:55:35
it but I yeah don't pull. Up.
1:55:37
Yeah, why do you? Pull it up a location right now,
1:55:39
yeah. Yeah.
1:55:42
Get like one of the old Google images.
1:55:44
Oh yeah, you could you do that this all day.
1:55:47
Yeah. Oh wow, look how much more life
1:55:50
that looks. Like.
1:55:53
Wow. Look, look, look at the new one.
1:55:54
Look at the new one. How to just show it?
1:55:57
Yeah, they don't know where this is A.
1:55:58
Lot of our. Listeners are yeah, that was
1:56:01

1:56:04
That's Jollibee now. Yeah, that's Jollibee now.
1:56:07
Yeah. You know what's crazy?
1:56:08
That advanced auto right there. Went out of this place.
1:56:11
It went out of business and they had 90% off everything.
1:56:14
That was Rs Strauss. Yeah, food and the.
1:56:19
Over. Been there over here.
1:56:21
I think this was a yeah, I've. Been a.
1:56:24
Bradley's No. It was a Home Depot or no?
1:56:27
No, it was. It was either Bradley's or or
1:56:32
something with AC Caldor's. Oh, it might have been Caldor's.
1:56:37
Bradley's was down the road. Oh, whoa, Malcolm, go back.
1:56:40
Go back, go back. PC.
1:56:41
Right here with a brush guard on it, Yeah.
1:56:45
Oh no, it's SR5SR5. I can't believe.
1:56:47
PC Richard is still. V8 in there.
1:56:49
Yeah. UZ in that bitch.
1:56:53
There's a random look at the look at the doughnut mark.
1:56:55
Yeah, there. Yeah.
1:56:57
There you go. There you go, dude.
1:57:00
So, yeah, guys would like, come to this side of the parking lot,
1:57:03
do some Donuts, do a burnout, try to get a little bit of
1:57:07
attention. I mean, I did it too, you know,
1:57:09
but you'd be away. Yeah.
1:57:11
You know, there was like, some sort of responsibility.
1:57:14
But like now it's like everybody's like you might as
1:57:19
well be on the track taking the video, you know, like might as
1:57:22
well just jump on the road and take a video, you know, like
1:57:25
this is how I'm going to get the best shot.
1:57:26
I. Feel like the takeover.
1:57:28
I feel like the takeover stuff kind of slowed down in the last
1:57:31
year. They did.
1:57:33
Yeah, a little. Bit they are getting a lot of
1:57:34
hate obviously. Yeah, that's probably why.
1:57:37
And, and the police are going to, they're going to go after
1:57:39
it, you know, I mean. I mean, maybe, maybe they
1:57:42
realize they're just retarded. I don't know.
1:57:44
I don't know but. I kind of hope they did realize
1:57:46
that, but. The.
1:57:49
The drift guys are awesome. That's why.
1:57:51
Like I hung out a little bit with them, like drift.
1:57:53
Community got sick of it. They were like, we're getting
1:57:56
grouped together, that's why. I didn't.
1:57:59
I didn't even think of that. Yeah, this time, yeah, we ended.
1:58:02
Up talking about a lot of that shit like a year ago on here
1:58:04
because it was happening so often yeah people would ask us
1:58:07
questions like and we're like dude that's not drifting like.
1:58:10
Yeah, I would go to IKEA. Yeah, I don't know.
1:58:14
Oh yeah, Yeah, yeah. IKEA a long time ago, and they
1:58:17
would be like, this is probably the property.
1:58:18
You got to go. OK, goodbye.
1:58:21
That's it. Police come by.
1:58:22
You got to go. All right, peace out.
1:58:23
They were throwing crazy takeovers in that lot 2 years
1:58:26
ago. Oh yeah, the one up here.
1:58:28
Yeah, yeah, like crazy we're. Not going to say there's two.
1:58:31
You got two options for IKEA's. Yeah.
1:58:33
We're not going to say which one it is, but that one with, with
1:58:38
the auxiliary little area, Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
1:58:41
The one that I know, yeah, yeah. That one was so sick.
1:58:45
Yeah, that location was off, but they.
1:58:48
Could go to the Sports Authority and do the takeovers.
1:58:51
Yo recipe Sports Authority bro, do you remember?
1:58:53
That yeah, they're gone. That.
1:58:55
That used to be where I had to go play with the new basketball
1:58:58
hoops dude. Like that was that was the time.
1:59:01
Damn. But like that's an example of
1:59:03
something that could have worked but didn't.
1:59:05
Like that spot is dead. We could have car meet there if
1:59:10
it was controlled. If it was controlled, maybe the
1:59:12
police would be like, you know what?
1:59:13
That's just where they all congregate.
1:59:15
Yeah, we threw a car meet the other night.
1:59:16
First time I ever threw a car meet and I kind of didn't even
1:59:18
throw it, but I guess I did pick the location and tell people
1:59:21
about it. But we picked a spot over here
1:59:25
as a backup first. We did Edgewater, Yeah,
1:59:27
whatever. And everyone went there.
1:59:29
Whatever, we were doing it with prison like this YouTube guy and
1:59:34
shout out. Prison money, yeah.
1:59:35
So they all dude, it's fucking a million people came for him.
1:59:38
Yeah. And we're like, what the fuck?
1:59:40
Cops shut it down in in like. Yeah, Edgewater. 20 miles.
1:59:42
Yeah, well, we were all like. We were kind of ready for it,
1:59:45
but. It was good for a while when I
1:59:47
was going it was. Good for a.
1:59:49
While back in the day, that shit was sick.
1:59:51
That was where you saw the sickest.
1:59:53
Cars, man. But anyway, so they shut it down
1:59:54
and I moved. I was like, I was like, I don't
1:59:56
fucking know. Fucking Lowe's in East
2:00:00
Rutherford. I'm like, I don't know.
2:00:01
Like I. Probably shouldn't bring them
2:00:03
back here, but I guess we're doing it.
2:00:05
They were there for over an hour.
2:00:06
Yeah, yeah. Cops didn't do anything.
2:00:07
I was like, wow, that's amazing. By the Five Guys.
2:00:10
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, And I was like, holy shit.
2:00:12
And the cops were there, like rolling through and they didn't
2:00:14
do anything. And I was like.
2:00:15
Wow, this actually. Worked and then some Dick head
2:00:17
did a fucking burnout guy. That's it.
2:00:19
Ruined the whole night. Yeah yeah whenever I throw like
2:00:22
cars and coffees and stuff like that, I like do invite and I
2:00:26
will call I will do it like the night before cuz one, a million
2:00:30
people are gonna come yeah two, you just want your you just want
2:00:33
your guys to come and just chill out and have a good time that's
2:00:36
it that's usually what I like with the cars and.
2:00:39
Cars, you're in a similar area, like you only have like one way
2:00:41
in, one way out, right? Yeah, we are in a dead end,
2:00:44
which is really, really nice. Yeah, I guess that's even
2:00:47
better. Yeah, that's better.
2:00:48
It's hard going in and out. Yeah, right.
2:00:51
You can control it though. You can control it.
2:00:53
You you make sure it's under control, which is great.
2:00:56
Yeah, with a couple guys, yeah. You make sure that everything is
2:00:59
nice and smooth. No ones doing anything stupid.
2:01:01
That's it. Yeah, 'cause we're trying to
2:01:03
think of of, of doing something like that here.
2:01:05
And it's also with. With it's it's it's awesome.
2:01:08
Just I would like I would call certain clients and be like,
2:01:13
hey, we want you here. Yeah, you know, we we enjoyed
2:01:17
your build, We enjoy you, you support us.
2:01:19
Come on over. You know, that's usually the and
2:01:22
then bring a couple of your friends.
2:01:23
Yeah, you know what I'm saying? That usually works out really
2:01:26
well for me. The the the rest I don't I don't
2:01:29
want to yeah, the week a week ahead.
2:01:31
Like all these guys tell them put it a week ahead.
2:01:33
I'm like. No, no, no, no, no.
2:01:35
We're gonna be fucked bro. I'm on one and 9.
2:01:38
I can handle like 80 cars or 90 cars on that road dude.
2:01:42
That's a lot of cars and one in nine is is 2 lane Jersey barrier
2:01:47
yeah, two lane. So like there's no shoulders
2:01:52
like yeah, Yep. It's it's like if you you can.
2:01:56
Yeah, you can, if if you stop there, the police are getting
2:02:00
called. You're you're a fuck Yeah, yeah,
2:02:01
yeah. But the the good thing is, is if
2:02:05
since it is a little bit more, I'm gonna use the word intimate
2:02:07
since it's a little bit more personal and intimate, like the
2:02:09
your guys, your friends, whoever those are, those are all people
2:02:15
running that meet or, or that cars and coffee or that, that
2:02:19
gathering. Because like, if somebody's
2:02:21
doing something bad, I'm going to hope that my friends will
2:02:27
either intervene, check em, let em know.
2:02:30
Like yo this is not, Yep, this is not OK here.
2:02:34
Please like either either leave or just stop doing.
2:02:37
That yeah, yeah, most, yeah most of the guys don't if you like
2:02:41
try to keep it personalized. Most of the guys, dude, I think
2:02:43
I had maybe 3 or 4 pieces of garbage down that whole block.
2:02:48
Like I walked 'cause like I don't want to be a douche to my
2:02:51
neighbors either, right? My neighbors like clear up all
2:02:54
of their cars they. Move.
2:02:56
Yeah, like I tell them, hey, man, we're going to have some
2:02:59
coffee or whatever. If you wanna come, you have
2:03:01
kids, whatever, and they move everything and they're like,
2:03:04
yeah, you can use the front of my shop, no problem.
2:03:06
That's it. Yeah.
2:03:07
They're really nice. That's very nice.
2:03:09
Yeah. Yeah.
2:03:09
One of them did it the day off. Like he forgot.
2:03:12
And I'm like, yo, we need these spots.
2:03:16
Move these. You know, he's a Body Shop down
2:03:18
at the end of the block. And he has like these like,
2:03:20
yeah, there are beat up cars, you know, they're getting fixed,
2:03:23
you know, And he's like, I'm going to come and move them
2:03:25
right now. And he called like all his
2:03:27
employees on a Sunday to call like you move the car, you had
2:03:30
to push some of the. That's like, Oh my God, called
2:03:33
Malcolm. Yeah, Malcolm would look at his
2:03:36
phone and go click. So but that that is.
2:03:41
So, yeah, yeah, three pieces, 4 pieces of garbage, like a a cup
2:03:44
or like a from quick check down the block or something like that
2:03:47
is probably one of my guys. All right, let me pick it up,
2:03:48
throw it in the garbage. So like even something like
2:03:51
that, I don't, I don't put in garbage cans.
2:03:53
I have my, my garbage bin out. Everybody filled that out.
2:03:58
Yeah, walked all the way down the block to throw away their
2:04:00
garbage, you know, so I appreciate guys like that and
2:04:04
those are the guys that we want. Yeah, yeah, I'm very, very
2:04:08
scared and excited. Yeah, I know.
2:04:10
Frankie is nervous as hell all the.
2:04:12
Drifters. Yeah, just gonna be.
2:04:15
Cigarette butts everywhere, dude.
2:04:17
Just everywhere. And Frankie is my.
2:04:19
Landlord's gonna be calling me every 5 minutes and watching the
2:04:21
cameras like hey, someone just peed behind a building.
2:04:26
I said OK dude. Oh.
2:04:28
Man. Nah, they're very, they're very
2:04:29
nosy. Yeah, I don't.
2:04:30
I don't think anyone would. Would do anything.
2:04:33
Crazy. Yeah, it just.
2:04:34
Yeah, obviously. You know you.
2:04:35
Should you should go. Right out somewhere, then we'll
2:04:38
you know, yeah, IKEA after. Yeah, you should chain off like
2:04:42
where the beams are like for the lift so nobody goes close to
2:04:46
the. Oh yeah, no, I would.
2:04:47
I would. Chain off no one.
2:04:47
'S going under lifts, yeah, yeah, for sure.
2:04:50
Chain it off, but like don't close the shop completely.
2:04:52
Like this is your space. I know you don't like to show
2:04:55
off, but like, show it off a little bit well.
2:04:58
We definitely. Want to do at least one like
2:04:59
open house? Like the first, the first lift.
2:05:03
Don't put a car on it. Yeah, or put a car.
2:05:05
Or like put a nice car. Yeah.
2:05:07
Yeah, there, you know, and let people walk around.
2:05:08
Be proud of it you. Know the rest I would chain out,
2:05:12
close it, lock. It up don't people.
2:05:13
Can't be walking away and proof it like.
2:05:16
Really. It is, yeah.
2:05:18
It's it's retard proof. Like naked.
2:05:20
Yeah, fuck it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:05:22
That's like those seats gotta say, do not sit like.
2:05:25
Yeah, 50. Do not sit.
2:05:27
Do not sit like. Do not put like.
2:05:30
Spikes on them like they do for the for the birds.
2:05:32
They'll still sit on them. The problem is they'll they'll
2:05:35
still sit on them. All right.
2:05:37
Another question here, What's your favorite part of about
2:05:40
powder coating? It's very similar.
2:05:44
You know, when I started powder coating, it was MO fuad that
2:05:50
that was like, we should do powder coating.
2:05:53
Yeah. So he was he's the one kind of
2:05:55
who started that and then he left.
2:05:58
But. Dammit, Fua.
2:06:00
Yeah, FAP. Yeah.
2:06:02
Now we're just AP. We're just AP, that's it.
2:06:05
So I would say it's. It's.
2:06:10
It's intimate. You just like, chill out with a
2:06:14
part that's really shitty and somehow you can make it
2:06:19
beautiful again, you know? And no part is exactly the same.
2:06:25
So the stuff that we normally do is like wheels so you like, or
2:06:30
black wheels are like the most popular.
2:06:32
So we're just doing black wheels left and right, left and right,
2:06:34
left. So it's all the same shit.
2:06:35
But when someone comes and says like I want to do a 2 tone or I
2:06:40
want to do, most people usually don't coat this area, but I want
2:06:46
it coated. That is the stuff that like I
2:06:49
like to do, you know, so every piece is actually custom piece
2:06:52
as much as it's the same shit as the next one.
2:06:55
Yeah, yeah, that's true. It's it's hilarious that it was
2:07:00
him that came up with a power coating and now you're stuck
2:07:02
doing it. Yeah.
2:07:02
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was about to say.
2:07:04
How is this guy about I just. Yeah.
2:07:06
But you obviously like it. I mean even your new shop set up
2:07:09
you. Yeah, yeah.
2:07:10
No, I've, I've always loved. It was kind of like I was going
2:07:13
to be like, like, hey, you do this, I'll, I'll do like.
2:07:16
You work on the cars. Yeah, I was, yeah, I was going
2:07:17
to do the mechanic stuff and we kind of like fuck that.
2:07:20
The only thing I like is like suspensions, like we we'll bring
2:07:23
that stuff in. And yeah, anything I enjoy, I'll
2:07:25
bring it in. If I don't enjoy it, I kind of
2:07:27
like step away from it. Yeah, yeah, unless I have to do
2:07:30
it. Yeah, that makes sense.
2:07:32
Yeah. I mean the powder coating
2:07:33
operation you got over there is is awesome.
2:07:35
Yeah, it's yeah, it's a groan from a Eastwood.
2:07:37
Yeah, for sure. I got an ad for an Eastwood one
2:07:42
the other. Way it works, it works.
2:07:44
I made money off Pennsylvania Company, Pennsylvania.
2:07:47
Company I think. Or Jersey?
2:07:51
Yeah, one or the other? No.
2:07:52
Probably Pennsylvania. They have a store in Jersey.
2:07:55
They did, but I don't know, I think they might just got rid of
2:07:56
it. Yeah, that's where I picked up
2:07:59
that tear down table. Someone told me, like, you can
2:08:00
buy powder. I'm like, I'm buying that, she
2:08:02
said. Dollar Store.
2:08:04
Store again. There's actually a powder
2:08:06
coating supply company in this building.
2:08:09
Yeah. Do you know them?
2:08:11
Nope. OK.
2:08:12
Yeah, it's. No, I don't need to know anybody
2:08:15
else. I got my contacts.
2:08:17
No, thank you all. Right, you got it.
2:08:20
Another question involving powder coating that I thought
2:08:22
was pretty interesting. Will powder coat ever be able to
2:08:25
match Chrome or what do you recommend?
2:08:28
Oh, good question. Yes.
2:08:30
Yeah, so I got this today from somebody else as well.
2:08:35
No, damn it. I mean over time, you know, like
2:08:41
I guess maybe like wraps or like plasty dip or liquid wrap or
2:08:45
whatever. That stuff has been getting
2:08:46
really nice over time as well. Maybe, but I don't I do Chrome
2:08:52
powder coat for a lot of people and they like it.
2:08:55
So like maybe you have to see it, but it's not the same I.
2:08:59
Think I've seen it and it's just a little bit more like.
2:09:02
Orange Peely. It's definitely a little more
2:09:05
orange peely. What if I cleared over?
2:09:07
It looks like a dirty mirror. Yeah, we do clear over.
2:09:10
Otherwise it'll turn black. So we do clear over it.
2:09:15
That's really it doesn't have that much orange peel.
2:09:19
I wouldn't say it's that bad in comparison to Chrome.
2:09:22
Absolutely. Or a comparison to a polished.
2:09:25
I usually tell people Polish their stuff.
2:09:27
You know there's a lot of good polishers around the area.
2:09:30
Go Polish it and your wheels or whatever parts will still have
2:09:33
their integrity and structure. Chrome once it fails it it just
2:09:38
hold. It'll have a pinhole somewhere
2:09:41
and water and nasty shit will get behind it and by the time it
2:09:44
starts bubbling up it's too fucking late.
2:09:47
It's pitting, it's all messed up, it's ruined the structure.
2:09:50
So usually I tell people polished is the way to go.
2:09:53
Yeah, polishing is just annoying.
2:09:55
Super annoying. That's why I let other people do
2:09:58
it. Yeah.
2:09:59
LSP. Yeah.
2:10:00
I was gonna, I was gonna ask, have you ever got into
2:10:02
polishing? But I guess you just don't.
2:10:04
Want to deal with it? No, it, dude, we're thin
2:10:07
already. Yeah, we're on a thin string
2:10:09
already. Our buddy polishes, his hands
2:10:13
are always purple act. Yeah, what the hell is that
2:10:17
about? Yeah, like.
2:10:18
What me? Don't be looking at my hands.
2:10:19
What the fuck? Look at these you're.
2:10:20
Talking about what's his face? James.
2:10:22
What's his face? What are you talking about?
2:10:24
What's wrong with James hands? Yo, James.
2:10:25
He's a hard worker, leave him alone.
2:10:28
So he's not right, that one. Yeah, you're.
2:10:30
Seeing Hops hands do you see him here when he was here?
2:10:32
He. Looked fine.
2:10:34
What was wrong? With it, they look like trees.
2:10:36
Yeah, I know they're big, but. No, but I'm saying like those
2:10:39
are just working hands and I watched my.
2:10:41
Hands before I got here, but they still no.
2:10:43
No, no, James has a problem. His hands are black.
2:10:46
Because he's doing stuff. What do you want him to do?
2:10:49
But he said I asked him once. He's like, I can't even get it
2:10:51
off. Yeah, because he's.
2:10:52
Sitting. There for so long, yeah.
2:10:55
I mean, I can't. More and more and.
2:10:57
More yes. Yeah, no, I can't, but.
2:10:59
It's like. Paint and random filler sanding
2:11:03
shit on my head, yeah. But now you have to wear gloves.
2:11:06
We're not doing that shit, no. Man, just at the end of the day,
2:11:09
I'm just gonna scrub as hard as I can possibly.
2:11:12
I feel more comfortable with my hands.
2:11:14
I mean, most people do. Yeah, James''s hands are just
2:11:17
the the Polish of metals it. Looks like the Polish.
2:11:21
Yeah, it looks like the Polish compound like.
2:11:24
Flinging all over the place? Yeah.
2:11:26
You ever see a? Picture of him like when he
2:11:28
flips the camera around and it's like his face.
2:11:32
No, yeah, it looks funny. It was like a coal.
2:11:34
Miner, yeah. That's what his hands look like.
2:11:36
I. Love James man, he just works.
2:11:38
Plenty of guys like that. Yeah, that it's, it's a lot of
2:11:40
work. That that's a lot.
2:11:41
Especially when you're holding that freaking die grinder.
2:11:44
And he does a really sick job. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:11:47
Tons of that's. The best way to do is with that
2:11:48
like buffing wheel and you know there's ceramic polishing.
2:11:52
If you guys seen the ceramic polishing that goes like into
2:11:54
the tub? That's what he he has a wait,
2:11:57
what is that? He has a big Tumblr thing.
2:11:59
Yeah, big Tumblr and it has like it's media in it.
2:12:02
OK, that it, it's nice, it comes out nice, but it's not the same
2:12:05
as like sitting in there polishing.
2:12:07
I've seen the little ones where you put like bolts in it.
2:12:09
Yeah, it's pretty much the same thing, but a big ass wheel.
2:12:11
Yeah, wow, what the wait? Malcolm, if you go to LSP, we
2:12:14
maybe we could just give James a little plug here in case he's
2:12:17
not busy enough. Good luck, this shit takes a
2:12:20
whole damn day to do. Yeah.
2:12:22
No, it's it's a long time, it's a long process and it's it's not
2:12:26
just it's not just dump it in there either like there's things
2:12:31
you. Got to do.
2:12:31
I don't. Yeah, There you change the
2:12:33
media. Yeah, there's like the abrasive.
2:12:36
Here's what James does. There's a.
2:12:38
There's a picture of. Like little shiny parts.
2:12:41
There's a there's a bucket like look for the little.
2:12:44
Yeah, there it is. That's what it.
2:12:46
Oh shit. I use the same one for something
2:12:50
else. Nah, that's what it looks.
2:12:53
Like, yeah, there you go. Jiggles it around.
2:12:55
Yeah, I think that's like the final.
2:12:56
But like some of them, they look like little triangles or
2:12:59
something like that, Whatever. Like he does.
2:13:03
Great. Dude, yeah, that looks
2:13:04
beautiful. Yeah, wow.
2:13:07
Have you never looked at this? I don't look at anything.
2:13:11
We had a conversation with James.
2:13:13
Wasn't he here the other week? Yeah, James is cool.
2:13:16
I don't go on Instagram bro. Nobody got time for that.
2:13:19
I just don't. It's not good.
2:13:20
It's just not. Good.
2:13:21
Yeah. So that that looks stage 2,
2:13:24
right? It might be 3.
2:13:27
It leveled down a little bit. And then go one more, James.
2:13:29
Come on, do one more. One more one.
2:13:30
More, he's really used more machine a lot.
2:13:32
There we go. Yeah, that machine is like a
2:13:35
life changer. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:13:39
Because imagine hand polishing that fucking thing.
2:13:42
The hand Polish would come out nicer.
2:13:43
Yeah. Yeah, he comes out a lot nicer,
2:13:45
but it's. But it's still super.
2:13:47
Yeah. You just throw that in.
2:13:48
I mean I. Think he's got to take it to
2:13:50
like that and then probably be doing so.
2:13:52
He probably hand polishes at the.
2:13:53
End at the end, yeah. Because now it's just fine
2:13:56
tuning. He he has my wing.
2:13:59
I'm hopefully going to have that this Saturday.
2:14:01
Hopefully. James.
2:14:03
Yeah. Hopefully.
2:14:04
Hopefully I know James is like I'm getting my car SSE ready
2:14:10
final bout. Are you familiar with final bout
2:14:11
and all that stuff? Yeah, yeah, the he's like I'm
2:14:16
getting my car final bout ready, bro.
2:14:18
The roof is cut off. Oh.
2:14:20
Yeah, he's trying to make like a the.
2:14:21
Roof is cut off. Everything's cut how?
2:14:24
Is he going to do the windows? That's my question.
2:14:26
Dude, it's James. Just let him.
2:14:28
He's doing a chop top 240. Oh.
2:14:31
Yeah. Right.
2:14:32
Pretty interesting. I hate right away.
2:14:34
Really. Yeah, what the fuck you're
2:14:36
ruining you're. So many of those cars are
2:14:40
ruined. Altering the 2:40 to make it not
2:14:43
look like the way like Oh my it's not a Mahon car.
2:14:47
Your money glazing. I don't know.
2:14:49
I think it's kind of sick. Like I want to see how it comes
2:14:51
out. I like it because it's it's
2:14:53
different. It's not, maybe not my cup of
2:14:55
tea. To be honest, I don't even think
2:14:57
anyone in Japan has done that, really.
2:14:59
There's one, I think there is one maybe, but there's that's on
2:15:03
my cup of tea. But since somebody'd trying it.
2:15:05
Yeah, yes, and. They're attempting to try it
2:15:07
then. That by all, some quality comes
2:15:10
out with it. That's it, yeah.
2:15:11
Yeah, and I know James, he's gonna still work hard on it.
2:15:15
That doesn't mean it's just done.
2:15:17
It's. Gonna be cool to see it
2:15:17
drifting. Yeah, yeah, if it ever drifts.
2:15:20
His heads going to stick out. Yeah, I don't do.
2:15:23
No where where the me and James are roughly same height now he's
2:15:26
maybe 5/8. I'll give you the three.
2:15:28
Short, though. Short.
2:15:29
I was like, yeah, you could have left a couple inches on that.
2:15:32
Yeah, it's it's. Could you bring a photo of that
2:15:35
Malcolm? That thing looks fucking
2:15:37
ridiculous James, I hope where his ears have got to be ringing.
2:15:41
Right now the first thought I my first thought was what is he
2:15:43
going to do for the windows? And I was like, I guess he's
2:15:45
going to do like Lex, Lexan, I. Hope he doesn't.
2:15:47
No, no, no. The top half of the window
2:15:50
should. Oh no it's not.
2:15:54
Oh. It's kind of.
2:15:56
Sick. You know, it looks hard, like
2:16:01
yeah, like enough, enough fucking Kitty hair on the roof,
2:16:05
like fiberglass filler on the roof and you are golden.
2:16:09
I'm just worried about the windows.
2:16:10
Everything else is gonna work. It needs to be lexan.
2:16:14
Yeah, right. He's gotta have, he's got like a
2:16:16
guy that that's like, yeah, I can make custom glass.
2:16:18
I don't know. They're in the middle of
2:16:19
Pennsylvania. They might.
2:16:21
I got a glass guy. Magic.
2:16:24
Magic. Just.
2:16:25
Reshape the glass somehow. I don't know anything about
2:16:27
glass. Like I don't know if that's
2:16:28
possible. I do.
2:16:30
I actually think a lot of drag racers, they'll ship out like
2:16:32
stuff and get it made in a certain way with Lexan, with
2:16:36
that shape and all that stuff. So.
2:16:38
Like imagine just trimming the glass down somehow not.
2:16:42
Me, I don't, I don't know the cracks.
2:16:44
We'll, we'll, we'll let James make more progress.
2:16:48
Yeah. Dude, that's one of our mutual
2:16:51
customers is on here, Alexi MR2 drift car, he said.
2:16:55
Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah.
2:16:57
One of them. Oh yeah, one of them, right.
2:16:59
You could choose. I already have a whole team, you
2:17:01
know, just need some drivers. Dude, East Coast, even if, let's
2:17:05
say, let's say when you get it done, because I know you're
2:17:07
going to get it done. Maybe not next week, maybe,
2:17:09
yeah, whatever, whatever. Yeah.
2:17:11
You want to go drift it? Just go, hit, hit them up.
2:17:14
No need to go to a full. Event, especially if it's an.
2:17:16
If it's an. MR2 you can just see if you want
2:17:19
to drift. I've been thinking of getting
2:17:21
A-350. Oh yeah, goodness gracious.
2:17:23
You're in the car. You're in.
2:17:25
You're in. Dude, that's the car to get.
2:17:27
Low maintenance, quick. Yeah, just get it off like
2:17:31
insurance auction and yeah, fucking go.
2:17:33
Dude, and you like mountain biking?
2:17:35
Yeah. Oh, it's up.
2:17:36
Yeah, it's up. You're, you're, you're gonna be
2:17:38
able to drift. It's like almost written in a
2:17:41
book. Oh yeah, I'm not.
2:17:42
I'm not too worried about that. Yeah, dude, you have some fun.
2:17:45
My buddy has a really nice 240 and I'm like, yo, why don't you
2:17:50
send it to these guys? Why don't you send it to these
2:17:52
guys? You know, like get it going.
2:17:53
It's been down for like 15 years or whatever, but 15 bro, he
2:17:57
bought that shit for like, I don't know, 10 grand or 15 grand
2:18:04
that long ago. That's how it was already.
2:18:06
Yeah, it's. Probably pretty nice.
2:18:08
It is. It is, yeah.
2:18:09
It was at that time it was I think RB25 in it or something
2:18:13
like that. RB25 back then, yes.
2:18:16
Yeah, you're top dog. Yeah, you don't have an Sr. like
2:18:20
you. Damn there's a fucking RB.
2:18:22
Swab in here. Yeah, He went from.
2:18:24
He went from like a was it kak turbo KA to that.
2:18:30
That's that's everybody's flavour yeah.
2:18:32
Is the turbo KA cause the KA is a little bit more readily
2:18:35
available and. Senior prices.
2:18:38
Just as our prices went up, yeah, yeah.
2:18:40
And turbo parts are the KA like the production of them went up
2:18:46
like tons of still just a 4 cylinder, low compression work,
2:18:52
4 liter work. Yeah, that's it.
2:18:54
That's yeah. It's a weird time right now.
2:18:55
For Tobos noise, that's noise. That's the one thing you don't
2:18:59
get with a 350Z, yeah. Fuck.
2:19:01
You know what you do get? Trumpets.
2:19:03
Yeah, that shit is gonna. Yeah, that shit is crazy.
2:19:08
Dude. Also.
2:19:10
That A-350 makes me feel like I'm in a chop top car.
2:19:14
Cause the doors. Are so big and the windows are
2:19:16
like that, yeah. But it's a great drift car.
2:19:19
Maybe an IS IS is good too. IS.
2:19:20
Is good too. It's.
2:19:22
Just Toyota guy. If I had to if I if I was being
2:19:25
frank, the the the car is not grayed out the box to.
2:19:31
Like, Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, like it's it's very
2:19:33
sluggish. Like the trans is more than
2:19:35
likely going to be an auto like so then you got a manual swap.
2:19:39
Like it's not like a Frankie literally drifted like a stock Z
2:19:42
or you remember Mike. Yeah, I don't know what it had.
2:19:44
Doing just like a stock LSD. It was not a welded, Yeah, and.
2:19:50
It just goes, yeah, yeah, that's why I said it.
2:19:53
You know, like what do you get a $5000 and go FRS that's too
2:19:56
slow? Damn.
2:19:57
That's that's. Beautiful, but that thing is
2:19:59
slow. It just looks so much better,
2:20:01
you know what I mean? Just.
2:20:02
It does look better, yeah, Yeah. Like damn, have you got anything
2:20:05
else you wanted to share with our?
2:20:07
Listeners and stuff. Yes, butter, I know.
2:20:10

2:20:13
I don't know. No.
2:20:15
I like them. You're no.
2:20:17
Do you have anything else you want to share?
2:20:19
I don't know, cars. I guess that's it.
2:20:24
I gotta get into this drift lineup.
2:20:27
Yeah, No, you will. If you get a Z, you're gonna.
2:20:30
Yeah, it's up. It's I.

Yeah, everything in house. Oh wow, so.
2:24:06
That's pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:24:08
Slowly we, you know, as we grow, we buy a little bit more, yeah
2:24:11
to, to support what we do and what we get.
2:24:15
But. Three-year Workman works.
2:24:17
Damn, yeah. Workership works.
2:24:20
You're like. You know, yeah.
2:24:21
You might have to. Take, I'm sure people probably,
2:24:24
maybe. Have fucked it on that.
2:24:26
Do they, I mean, to be honest, like this is a marketing tactic,
2:24:31
you know, like I'm not, I'm very blunt with this type of shit.
2:24:35
This should last you 10 years if you fuck, not longer if you take
2:24:38
care of it. You know, people just put this
2:24:41
up and then like my customers ask like, do you have a
2:24:44
warranty? And I'm like, yeah, sure, this
2:24:46
is going to last you forever. You take care of it.
2:24:48
It's gonna take care unless. You curb it, you know, like if
2:24:50
they curb it, that's on them. If you curb it, it's on you.
2:24:52
Obviously. You know, like sometimes not
2:24:55
that obvious. Yeah, that's the problem.
2:24:57
Yeah. So like this is there just
2:25:00
because like our competition will say like we have a
2:25:03
three-year warranty. I'm like, OK, it should last you
2:25:06
way longer than three years. Someone put it three years is
2:25:08
low, a year is low. It should be way longer than
2:25:11
that. Yeah.
2:25:12
So I have guys where I used to to do really like subpar work.
2:25:17
When we started, we didn't have all the tooling, so we tried to
2:25:20
do what we can do with what we had.
2:25:22
So you're supposed to sample that stuff typically when you
2:25:26
powder coat so you get that adhesion.
2:25:29
I didn't have a sandblaster, you know, I sandblasted it with my
2:25:33
sandblasted. I like sanded it with a scuff
2:25:36
pad, you know, and then and then I would powder coat it.
2:25:40
That shit's still going. I have customers with that
2:25:43
shit's still going. I tested stuff on my own like I
2:25:49
buy like I love RPF 1 so I'll just like buy.
2:25:52
I bought for my MR2 and I'm like I'm not stripping this shit.
2:25:55
I'm on a powder coat right over the paint.
2:25:57
Oh my God. Fuck it, you know, quick scuff,
2:25:59
boom, that shit's still going, man.
2:26:02
Wow, I went to the racetrack. I fucking, you know, like it's
2:26:05
going like it's very, very strong stuff.
2:26:09
So that's why people like to do the powder coating instead of
2:26:12
the the paint. But paint is versatile.
2:26:15
Like you can switch color real easy.
2:26:17
That's what's nice about liquid, so we don't do that, but.
2:26:21
Yeah, cuz you'd have to sandblast the whole thing down
2:26:24
again if you wanted to change color, right?
2:26:27
Yeah. So, yeah, there are like some
2:26:30
ways to, there's always way to mend things, but it takes time.
2:26:36
So at the same price, you might as well just do the whole shit
2:26:39
again, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:26:41
I mean, we charge 120, five, $150.00 a wheel.
2:26:44
Sometimes it'll go up to like $200 a wheel if you want like a
2:26:47
really cool color or something like that.
2:26:50
And you curb it like yeah, here's some touch up paint.
2:26:54
You're still gonna see it. Yeah, yeah.
2:26:56
You know, you're still gonna and it's still gonna piss you off.
2:27:00
So for the same price, just fucking redo it.
2:27:04
Yeah, it is what it is. I mean like.
2:27:06
That price of powder coat a wheel like in my head I'm.
2:27:09
Like, wasn't it? It's so.
2:27:10
Cheap. Yeah.
2:27:11
What? What am I?
2:27:12
It's like. Yeah, like in my head I'm like,
2:27:14
I'm like, would I do that much work for that much money?
2:27:16
I don't know bro. I'm like this is when.
2:27:18
You have such. A good setup.
2:27:19
You're, you're rolling through that stuff, you know, like while
2:27:22
you're, while this is stripping your powder coating now while
2:27:25
this is washing your sandblasting this.
2:27:28
So you're, you're everything's flowing norm, you know, so
2:27:32
you're not going to eat everyone out for 'cause it takes four
2:27:36
days. So it's $4000 to do, you know,
2:27:39
No, I mean, we're really spending a few hours on
2:27:42
everything. But since we have so much
2:27:44
that's, you know, I can probably roll it out in a in a full 24
2:27:49
hour period if I have nothing happening in my life, you know?
2:27:54
Yeah. Well guys, if you need your
2:27:56
stuff power coated. Yeah, you know where to go.
2:27:59
Dude, I fucking. I'm trying.
2:28:01
To and I've been there myself and the shit came out good.
2:28:03
So yeah, dude, yeah. I don't know what we had said we
2:28:07
had. Something done the.
2:28:07
Subframes and stuff like that, yeah.
2:28:10
When you said I've tested my own things, that's what I fuck with.
2:28:15
Because then you're you. You're, you know, the limit of
2:28:18
like, oh, that is butchering. Yeah, that's like, don't do
2:28:23
that. The that's the only way to do
2:28:25
it. Like I started getting into
2:28:26
ceramic coating a few years back and we have a like 1200
2:28:34
horsepower MR2 drag car, one of the fastest 3S cars in the US.
2:28:40
If not, it is. Still a three S oh with 1200
2:28:44
purists. Baby deal with the purists.
2:28:47
Yeah fuck the K20 four shit even though they are the fastest.
2:28:51
Like actual I. Know that one with the K series
2:28:54
in it? That's an absolute.
2:28:55
They're missile. I mean, they all, they're
2:28:57
monsters. Yeah.
2:28:58
But but yeah, I did the ceramic coating on the on the downpipe
2:29:04
that took turbo, parted the hot side and I'm like, wow, this is
2:29:07
this actually. Works, you know.
2:29:09
Like and it and it, it lasted for five years.
2:29:12
Yeah, like, holy shit. It's starting to rust a little
2:29:14
bit. We got to redo it but like.
2:29:17
And that's similar to powder coat like the whole?
2:29:19
It's that's a liquid. That's a liquid.
2:29:22
You could probably apply it pretty good.
2:29:24
Yeah, that's a liquid. But you would you'd probably
2:29:26
want to. What do you call?
2:29:28
It sandblast, yeah. So you sandblast first and you
2:29:31
get an, a, a, a nice surface and then you just liquid paint.
2:29:36
You know, we usually use a a smaller like trim style Iwata.
2:29:42
Yeah, a little detail. Gun.
2:29:43
Yeah. Like a detail gun.
2:29:44
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you need to you need to bake
2:29:46
that too, or. Yes, it doesn't fully cure until
2:29:49
you use it. Yeah.
2:29:50
Yeah. So you need like heat, real
2:29:52
heat. Yeah.
2:29:53
OK. So we'll like partially cure it
2:29:56
at like 500° or something like that, 550° and then the rest is
2:30:01
your car. Yeah.
2:30:03
The rest is your car That's sick, Yeah.
2:30:05
Wow, that's interesting. Damn dude.
2:30:07
So you guys start doing that? What?
2:30:09
Ceramic. You gotta try it.
2:30:11
It's not. I'm gonna look into it now.
2:30:12
He's gonna be in the oven, like putting shit in the oven.
2:30:14
Yeah, it's not bro if I not. Bad to do if.
2:30:17
I ruin our oven at home. Joe is gonna.
2:30:19
Kill me. That was my first my first
2:30:21
powder coating. I put a a wool woolwood caliper
2:30:26
in the toaster oven. My and see.
2:30:29
It works. Though.
2:30:31
I mean, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah.
2:30:32
We probably all have cancer. That's good now.
2:30:37
I remember putting headlights in the oven trying to melt the
2:30:39
fucking. Yeah, yeah.
2:30:42
Yeah. Yeah, but that that method
2:30:45
never. I was just a heat.
2:30:47
Yeah, he guns way better. Yeah.
2:30:50
Thank you so much for coming on, man.
2:30:51
Thank. You thanks for having me man.
2:30:53
You have a great conversation. We've been trying to do this for
2:30:55
like a year or. At least, at least I've.
2:30:57
Only met, I mean from passing, yeah.
2:31:00
And through like other people I'm like, oh, I know fat auto.
2:31:03
Rosen goes to Fat Auto. Ivan goes to Fat Auto.
2:31:05
Yeah, like, yeah. It's crazy, like Small World,
2:31:09
like you were at the old shop. Yeah, yeah.
2:31:10
You know, and like, yeah, I know.
2:31:12
That's so funny. Dude, I was who are you?
2:31:13
Was at the old shop too. Yeah.
2:31:15
And I don't even know what we we were picking up Chris''s motor.
2:31:18
I was talking. Yeah, probably what it was.
2:31:20
Because out of there. Yeah, yeah, maybe.
2:31:23
Or he had to move. Whatever I was doing, yeah.
2:31:25
I was definitely involved with Ivan cuz he was there.
2:31:27
Yep, I think I was buying parts off of a 240 that was.
2:31:29
That's that's the right one? Yes, The right one.
2:31:31
Yeah. That's Ivan.
2:31:32
OK, so Ivan brought us together somehow.
2:31:35
Yeah. And we didn't even know his.
2:31:36
Ears had got to be ringing. I got to fucking text him like
2:31:38
yo, I just said your name like 10 times on the podcast.
2:31:41
Yeah. Thank you for the dates by the
2:31:42

2:31:45
Yeah, of course. Thanks, man.
2:31:46
Yeah. Instead of the Oreos.
2:31:48

2:31:50
You should. You should put those in the
2:31:53
fridge. And I'm gonna eat them tomorrow.
2:31:54
Yeah, yeah. That is, that's gonna be a.

2:32:49
And Yep, that's it. I don't know what that was.
2:32:53
That was the only time you ever did that?
2:32:56
I forgot what I was going to say.
2:32:58
Shit, I'm selling gloves. I'm just selling gloves right at
2:33:03
the end of the three hour podcast.
2:33:05
I don't have any posts or videos or anything.
2:33:09
I'm selling gloves I forgot to talk about.
2:33:11
It I'll take one. I make them.
2:33:13
I didn't bring any of them. I'm the worst salesman ever.
2:33:18
A pair please. But thank you guys so much for
2:33:21
the support for those you've ordered and good night we'll.
2:33:25
Talk about. God I forgot about.
2:33:29
That the whole time. Did you try a date?
2:33:46
Yeah, I tried it. I tried a little bite of Carl's.
2:33:49
Tasted good. Yeah, well, we got them over
2:33:52
here. I just took them out of the
2:33:53
fridge because I feel like I'm not going to like those when
2:33:54
they're cold. Yeah, I mean, they're probably
2:33:57
going to be much harder. Yeah, so but.
2:34:00
Put in your pocket, let it heat up.
2:34:01
I'll tell you one thing that that like filled me up.
2:34:06
They're probably packed with a whole bunch of something
2:34:09
nutrient. I tasted the sugar though.
2:34:10
The sugar was intense. That's just natural sugar
2:34:13
though. That's any fruit.
2:34:14
Yeah. Like any dried fruit is really
2:34:18
sweet. Yeah, I mean, it's it's kind of
2:34:21
like a Raisin, right? I got the Raisin vibes that Carl
2:34:25
was talking about but. Yeah, definitely.
2:34:27
I mean, it's just dried fruit. Yeah.
2:34:31
You're looking dry as head we brought.
2:34:33
OK, we brought some for Eddie so you can enjoy them.
2:34:38
All right, well, good podcast though.
2:34:40
He's a cool guy. He's funny.
2:34:42
Yeah, he is great podcast. He literally named his company
2:34:45
Fab Auto so. He's got to be funny.
2:34:48
This is all we got, so let's run with it.
2:34:50
I mean, it's kind of funny because I did always think of it
2:34:55
like maybe he named it that so people question it and he did
2:34:58
name it that. Yeah, smart guy.
2:35:00
Yeah, so. Yeah, it was interesting
2:35:03
learning the history of that and history of how the shop became a
2:35:06
thing. I totally forgot that I went
2:35:08
down to that one in Carteret or what?
2:35:11
Yeah, I totally forgot that even existed.
2:35:13
Like, I, I remember doing that, but I didn't know that was his
2:35:16
shop because I was there to meet someone else.
2:35:19
And. But now I'm thinking about it.
2:35:20
Yeah, they were doing powder coating in there and.
2:35:22
Yeah, he's been around for a minute.
2:35:24
Yeah. So if you guys need any powder
2:35:26
coating or anything like that and you're in the New Jersey
2:35:28
area, make sure to hit up Fab Auto.
2:35:30
He is located off the 1:00 and 9:00 in Fairview SO.
2:35:33
Yeah. They're pretty accessible.
2:35:35
Yeah, not far from here either. So yeah, prices just seem real,
2:35:38
real fair. Dude, that $400.00 special, he
2:35:42
does that often too. Yeah.
2:35:44
Any black, any four wheels. You could powder coat any black
2:35:47
you want, like flat satin, whatever. 400 bucks 400 bucks a.
2:35:52
100 bucks a wheel, yeah. Yeah, and that's that's a lot of
2:35:55
work. That's what I was saying.
2:35:56
I was like, that's a lot of work.
2:35:57
He's like, yeah, whatever. I mean, he said he's like, I'm
2:35:59
not really doing it for the money, which is literally a lot
2:36:01
of us, it seems like who come on this podcast.
2:36:03
Yeah, everyone's like, yeah, we're just kind of having fun.
2:36:06
So that's his goal, to have fun at the end of the day.
2:36:09
Yeah. All right.
2:36:11
So what's going? On going on Frank.
2:36:13
I got going on OK, well. Don't make it depressing,
2:36:16
please. Yeah, I don't want to really
2:36:17
talk about what I got going on. Let's talk about what's going on
2:36:20
in the shop right now. So it's things have picked up a
2:36:25
little bit. Yeah, that that fake spring,
2:36:28
yeah, that people wake up. Yeah, fake spring we just
2:36:30
experienced here in New Jersey. Everyone said, oh shit, I have a
2:36:33
car. I forgot.
2:36:34
And then they they called us. So we got some cars in the shop.
2:36:40
We got Subaru that came in, had a pretty bad oil leak.
2:36:44
Thank God he came in for an oil change because if he drove that
2:36:47
car for another 500,000 miles, locked that thing up, yeah, that
2:36:50
shit would have been done. So I'm glad.
2:36:52
I'm glad we're doing that. You got a. 15 in here.
2:36:55
S15 here for vehicle inspection oil change.
2:36:59
Yeah, I saw the car underneath 1st and I was like, damn, this
2:37:02
car's in mint condition. There's nothing we could sell
2:37:04
this guy. And then I remember I came in
2:37:07
and you were like, yeah, the S13's pretty beat.
2:37:09
I'm like, what? And then I went out and looked
2:37:12
at the outside. I was like, Oh my God, the
2:37:13
paint. Yeah, I don't know what happened
2:37:15
to that car, but what did happen to that car?
2:37:19
I don't know. I didn't know that.
2:37:21
Like how does that happen to the roof where like rust is
2:37:23
underneath the paint? Maybe the place where the person
2:37:26
lived in Japan, it was next to some water or something.
2:37:28
Or maybe it was damaged on top and repainted that that would
2:37:32
do. Maybe.
2:37:33
Yeah, yeah. The color is cool though.
2:37:35
It's that blue color. So now we got Josh's car back
2:37:39
here too. So now there's 2S fifteens here.
2:37:42
Josh's car was caged at Action Fab by Joe.
2:37:48
That's that. Cage came out great.
2:37:49
I think Frankie was that. We were all looking at it last
2:37:52
night and even Frankie was like, you know, pretty impressed.
2:37:56
Top tier cage. Yeah, so pretty stoked on that.
2:38:00
I don't know when we're going to get to that car.
2:38:02
I don't know what the plan is right now.
2:38:03
Josh is just, you know, he's always broke trying to trying to
2:38:09
have three drift cars. So yeah, I don't know.
2:38:12
We're going to see what happens. We're trying to we're trying to
2:38:14

She went there. Yeah, yeah, it's cuz auto

couture is right next door. Yeah, so.
2:48:34
Did you tell her to say that you sent her?
2:48:36
Yeah, yeah. I think, yeah, I think this is
2:48:40
the second time she's getting windows tinted there because
2:48:43
there's some other car or something.
2:48:44
But yeah, that's honestly, that's the biggest thing for
2:48:48
people. That's the thing that people hit
2:48:49
me up the most that I send them to them for.
2:48:51
Cuz window tinting, yeah. Cuz no one knows where to go to
2:48:53
get their windows tinted. Yeah.
2:48:54
So yeah, they do window tinting. They do PPF, right?
2:49:00

mirror. But yeah, they got awesome cars
2:49:29
over there as well, so check them out.
2:49:30
Also hit up Chase Bays, our other sponsor, Chase.
2:49:33
Bays man, What is? What do they call?
2:49:35
It I I said this. Last time, what do they call it?
2:49:37
Fluid. Is it fluid dynamics Fluid.
2:49:40
I'm going to go with fluid dynamics.
2:49:41
Give us a moment. Because that that's how and
2:49:44
fluid. Transfer products, Why and fluid
2:49:46
transfer products. Yup.
2:49:48
Whoever coined that, it's probably Chase Chase.
2:49:51
Chase is a genius. He can't.
2:49:52
He pretty much comes out with all this stuff.
2:49:53
I mean, he's got a team over there now.
2:49:55
But say that. Again, I forget it already.
2:49:58
What is it? High high fluid transfer
2:50:01
products. High end fluid transfer
2:50:02
products. Yeah, dude, they do a lot of
2:50:04
power steering, brakes, stuff like that.
2:50:07
And you know, when you're messing around with brakes, you
2:50:09
got to be pretty serious. Oh yeah.
2:50:11
Because that's not something you want to just set, you know, you
2:50:15
want to just fucking Willy nilly create and then throw it out
2:50:18
there. You're.
2:50:20
Going to be Willy nilly and down the road if.
2:50:22
You do that. Yeah, so check his stuff out.
2:50:27
He Chase is a big a big proponent I guess is the word of
2:50:33
his AB. No brake booster delete.
2:50:37
Yes. He tries to sell that thing he
2:50:39
probably sold his mother. One of them he tries to sell.
2:50:41
That thing to. Everyone and I'm and I'm the
2:50:44
opposite. I'm like, I'm a hater.
2:50:46
I like brake boosters, but he would, when we have him on this
2:50:50
podcast, eventually he's going to, he's going to literally like
2:50:54
he's gonna smoke me out. He's gonna be like, yo, yeah,
2:50:56
gonna shut you up. Yeah, so, but no, it makes sense
2:50:59
that with a boosted car, left foot braking, you're on
2:51:03
throttle. The brake booster is not working
2:51:06
because it's got a check valve. So the boost can't go into the
2:51:08
brake booster. It's all vacuum.
2:51:10
So once that check valve closes and you hit the brakes you're
2:51:13
it's already like you're hitting a like a non brake booster.
2:51:16
Vehicle. So the way their setup is, is
2:51:19
they get rid of the booster and they with valving and all this,
2:51:23
they, they get the pedal feel to kind of feel more normal.
2:51:26
It's not going to ever feel like it has a, a brake booster on it,
2:51:29
I'm sure, but it's going to feel better than it would if you just
2:51:33
took your brake booster off or you just unhook the line, you
2:51:36
know, So he's a big, a big proponent of that system.
2:51:41
I haven't personally used it yet, but I do look forward to, I
2:51:43
think he, he might fly out here and work on S15 as well.
2:51:47
So. Wow, look at you.
2:51:48
You're flying people out. I'm definitely not, but maybe
2:51:50
Josh is. So I know Josh wants the full
2:51:53
chase based treatment on that car, so.
2:51:55
That's going to be cool. Yeah.
2:51:56
Yeah, Little video on that. Yeah, we'll do videos, we'll do
2:51:59
a podcast. You know all that.
2:52:00
The good stuff Chase Limitless Auto fab.
2:52:04
Yes. Guys, there's no one else making
2:52:06
bash bars right now that are worthwhile.

Yeah, if you need a bash bar. If you're trying to like, not
2:52:10

chassis BMW SE36E46 Miatas. Yeah, OK, Miatas.
2:52:25

2:52:27
I thought it was just Nissans. No, it's those.
2:52:29
It's those 3. Yeah, I mean, if you got Beamer
2:52:31
and Nissan, you're good. You got the whole drift.
2:52:33
Community. Yeah, and they're basic.
2:52:34
They're probably making more. They're probably in the works
2:52:36
