Transcript
- 0:00I hate saying this, but it's like being in a band, you know,
- 0:02like going on tour, like there's always like logistical headaches
- 0:07and it's not like 25 year old, like let's crash our boxes into
- 0:11each other and then put on the trailer and go home and sleep in
- 0:14the truck as like somebody else drives like.
- 0:16It's kind of insane that you can't put that on your resume,
- 0:18huh? My level of dedication to
- 0:20drifting is does not equal my level of dedication to
- 0:23employment. I wouldn't be sitting here right
- 0:27now with no job. The driving is getting elevated.
- 0:29That's exactly what I think of when I see Drift Appalachia.
- 0:32I'm like, OK, and now it's at a different level.
- 0:34Let's be honest, 80 to 90% of them have never even drifted on
- 0:37a mountain and they're doing that.
- 0:39It's like, that's pretty impressive.
- 0:41Club loose and the way that they handle kind of that, like tough
- 0:44love energy is actually good for drifting.
- 0:48That's something missing on the West Coast.
- 0:52Welcome back guys to another episode of the After Hours
- 0:54podcast. Today is a very, very special
- 0:57episode. We have finally got our good
- 1:01friend Palmer Sanderson of the goodest cast on our podcast.

- 1:17is actually driving Club loose this weekend, which I'm very

- 4:29then I'm like, oh OK, I'm actually really, really loud.
- 4:32No, but the headphones you don't notice anything like.
- 4:35Yeah, but then you got to lock into it and.
- 4:39You're levelled out and you notice if you're not on the mic,
- 4:41you know. Yeah, that's true.
- 4:45It's really funny to watch somebody who's like never had a
- 4:47mic and then just be like or or like, like talking to them and
- 4:50be like over here. Or they do this and then they
- 4:52start talking and they just like way all the way back here and
- 4:54I'm like, yo, come back all the way over here or.
- 4:58Yeah, they usually lean back and they don't bring the mic with
- 5:00them. And we're like, dude, you can
- 5:00bring the mic with you. I don't know, I I really like
- 5:03drifting. Sometimes when we have a lot of
- 5:06people in here which we don't like doing, but we'll have like
- 5:084 to 6 people, Let me rephrase that.
- 5:10I don't like doing. Carl loves it.
- 5:12Why do you say I love it I most you?

- 5:31But we have Palmer Sanderson from the goodest cast, ladies
- 5:34and gentlemen. Long time coming, but finally
- 5:38here this. Is a long time coming dude.
- 5:39Thank you so much for driving. At our podcast studio, which is.
- 5:42Sick. This is so weird honestly.
- 5:44And I, you know, when I, it got real for me when I saw the car
- 5:47outside underneath the faction banner and I was like, did
- 5:49Christy that on purpose. That's a picture.
- 5:51That's cool. Yeah, but it's so nice to have
- 5:53you here. We've talked about so much
- 5:54random shit so far. Yeah, we pretty much did like 2
- 5:58podcasts already, yeah. You've been here all day, so I'm
- 6:00so sorry I would have. Come here earlier.
- 6:02At first he came in. He's right away.
- 6:04Right away. He was like, now we gotta save
- 6:05for the podcast. I was like, oh God, he's already
- 6:07saying that. He's trained.
- 6:09I just know. Man, you like hang out with
- 6:11people before the podcast and all the best stories come out
- 6:14and then you're just like, you hit the podcast, you're like,
- 6:16hey, what about that time? Yeah.
- 6:20Oh yeah, we got to talk about that again.
- 6:22And. Like you just told me like the
- 6:23funniest story I've ever heard in my entire life and then now
- 6:26you can't redo it like. It's the hardest thing people
- 6:29don't really understand and it's it's so nice to talk to somebody
- 6:32who has a podcast too, that is in that realm.
- 6:35This stuff is hard. Yeah, yeah, we've been talking
- 6:38about that the whole time too. Yeah, that's really all we've
- 6:40talked about is how difficult it is what you do because you're a
- 6:43solo op. Like, hopefully I'm not a not a
- 6:46like, probably not a lot of people know this, but you and
- 6:49Laura just do this. It's a lot of work.
- 6:52Yeah. So hats off to you.
- 6:54I mean, you know it's fun, right?
- 6:57Like when it goes well and you remember to plug the mics in
- 7:00and. Oh my God, have you had a bad
- 7:02one? Dude, I did a podcast with
- 7:05Julian and Ryan and I didn't like my mic was plugged in, but
- 7:08I didn't arm the record on that Channel.
- 7:12Oh my God. And it took me like, I don't
- 7:15know, like I wanna say like 60 hours to make it sound like my
- 7:20God listenable. OK, I would like re edit it.
- 7:23And then I'd put it in the car and I'd go for a drive and see
- 7:25if you could still hear them and me in a reasonable thing cuz.
- 7:30You're getting the audio from a different.
- 7:32Source. Microphone, yeah, yeah, OK.
- 7:35Before we start, I wanna ask you something, Carl, is the reason
- 7:37you came up with this podcast because of his podcast?
- 7:40Yeah. OK.
- 7:41I was wondering I. Told I told him that earlier.
- 7:43OK, yeah, I would listen to the earlier ones.
- 7:45Like I'm talking like maybe the Ken Gucci 1 was like one of the
- 7:50earlier ones. And I was like, I'm just going
- 7:51to listen to all of these. And then and then I heard him
- 7:55and I'm like, dude, he's kind of like us.
- 7:58And then Frankie had this brand new shop, and I didn't really
- 8:02have a lot of drifting friends. And I was like, maybe I can meet
- 8:04people through this way. Yeah, we have.
- 8:07Yeah, that's a good idea. He's like, yo, let's do a
- 8:09podcast. He'd be like, come back every
- 8:10week and like, yo, what do you think about?
- 8:11This. I got so many random things done
- 8:13to my fucking car just to come here and be like, oh.
- 8:16Yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 8:18Wait, so you came in as a customer kind of was like, hey
- 8:21Frankie, can we please do like hey guy who I know but also
- 8:26works on my car. Let's do a podcast at.
- 8:28Your shop kind of but Chris, one of his best friends was working
- 8:31here. It was me and Chris that was
- 8:33like the two people that were working here.
- 8:34So he he would come in pretty often to see Chris and hang out
- 8:38and then but you also would bring your car here.
- 8:39I just. Knew Frankie is a scary guy,
- 8:41dude, you know, do you ever have everybody has a scary guy in the
- 8:44town that is like, oh, his car is mad cool, but I don't really
- 8:47want to bother him that much. I'm glad I give off that volume
- 8:50I. Bothered Frankie relentlessly.
- 8:53But what made you start goodest 'cause that one was just 'cause
- 8:57I listened to yours. But then what happened to How
- 9:00did you start yours? So I did Mez from Reckham and
- 9:05Billy Sutton had this, like, video chat podcast that they
- 9:09were doing called Unexplored Lines.
- 9:11And they didn't really, like, have guests.
- 9:12It would just be them, like, having autistic conversations
- 9:15about Motorsports. And then they had me on as a
- 9:18guest and I was like, yo, this shit is fun, dude.
- 9:21Like, I want to do one. Yeah.
- 9:23And they're like, OK, I guess, you know.
- 9:26No, it makes sense. And yeah, the very first episode
- 9:29I did was with my teammate Jason Bostrom, and it was literally
- 9:33just us on Zoom during COVID and like, we like, pulled up his,
- 9:37like, engineering homework and was like looking at it and
- 9:40stuff. It was like, I didn't think
- 9:44anybody was going to listen to it or watch.
- 9:46It but they did though, yeah. That's amazing.
- 9:49Yeah, and I the name was like a joke from Super D Northwest like
- 9:562017. I was like try hard and you'll
- 9:58do goodest like with a camera in my face and so.
- 10:02So you had that name for a while like that was a thing?
- 10:05We would just say goofy shit on camera.
- 10:08And I was like something that I was like, well, that's a word
- 10:10that no one really uses. And yeah, yeah, I put it in
- 10:13Google and I was like, there's like dog memes and stuff.
- 10:16But like, you know, yeah, it's not really like anything called
- 10:18goodest. I'm like, I'll just call it
- 10:20that. That name was such AI would I
- 10:23feel like that is like, you know, when you go to Target and
- 10:26they make up names for their like clothes and stuff, it's
- 10:29like the most beautiful calming name.
- 10:31Goodest. Goodest.
- 10:32Yeah, like I would wear. Yeah.
- 10:34Does this sound like something you would come up with too,
- 10:36Carl? No, I don't.
- 10:37All of mine are like kind of basic ass names.
- 10:42Our name is pretty basic. Is after hours dude.
- 10:45We were, I remember, like, I remember that conversation, it
- 10:49was like 3 or 4 of us in the office.
- 10:51What are you going to call this shit?
- 10:52What are you going to call this shit?
- 10:56And he's like, what? Dude, I actually saved a piece
- 10:58of paper where I was like trying to pitch this idea.
- 11:01Maybe one day when we make it I'll like fucking frame it.
- 11:04But one of them was like, it was like Frankie time or something.
- 11:08Like this is what I mean. Like he couldn't be the one in
- 11:10charge of this. So I was like, yo, we're going
- 11:12to do this after hours. So let's call it after hours.
- 11:15And and everyone's like maybe. Or no, what did?
- 11:17I What was the There was one other one, Malcolm.

- 15:45Yeah, I mean, I try and save if people give me stickers, I
- 15:48usually try and put them somewhere and I have a big shoe
- 15:50box full of stickers from people giving me stuff at events and.
- 15:56Gosh. I have a piece of ABS like the
- 16:01asphalt. That's cool cuz I saw like a
- 16:03chunk that broke off the track and I'm like, they're gonna
- 16:05demolish this shit someday. I like, I wanna have a piece of
- 16:08it, you know? Yeah, they only made it better,
- 16:11I guess. But.
- 16:12They're gonna put a housing complex.
- 16:14No. There's so much fucking room out
- 16:17there. So.
- 16:17Far out like. Hey dude, shit expands over
- 16:21time. You.
- 16:22Know, I saw a murder documentary documentary where it was in that
- 16:25kind of environment. And hills have eyes.
- 16:28No, I love that area. I don't know, but I watch all
- 16:32the Netflix ones, but the the area over there, I don't I think
- 16:35that that place. Is is safe for now?
- 16:38But what do you think they're going to build?
- 16:39Like some sort of? I mean, how often are you over
- 16:42here, like on this side of the country?
- 16:46Not often. So when you come over here, you
- 16:48start noticing everything's getting like real compact
- 16:51compared, right, Yes. I hate it.
- 16:53Yeah, like when you the second you go West and you like
- 16:56somewhere through Texas, all of a sudden like shit starts, like
- 16:59there's nothing anywhere and then you get to fucking
- 17:01California. And then it's like that again.
- 17:03Well. Once you get to the coast but
- 17:05like. That's because that's the only
- 17:07like, believable place. Yeah, yeah, it's hot as fuck in
- 17:11that. Yeah, that's true I guess.
- 17:12Like California, it's like all really expensive down the coast
- 17:16and then the middle of California and like eastern
- 17:19California is all, well, there's like Yosemite and some like
- 17:22Tahoe and stuff. But like the majority of
- 17:25California is like farmland, like desert.
- 17:29Yeah, dude, the desert is so sick though, Yeah.
- 17:32I think of California immediately.
- 17:33I just think of like, God, it's probably so expensive to live.
- 17:36Oh yeah. And how you guys do the car
- 17:38thing with all the regulations you have?
- 17:41Yeah, I mean, that's why like you look at animal style, like
- 17:43none of those cars go on the street ever.
- 17:45And I think that actually has something to it comes into play
- 17:49with like why we're able to like push really hard is like, we
- 17:52don't really care if the car is falling apart and goes on the
- 17:55trailer and goes home like in eight pieces.
- 17:58We'll just Band-Aid the shit back together and go do it
- 18:01again. Because, you know, we don't
- 18:03really get to have the experience of driving around and
- 18:07like, I don't know, you guys have that out here.
- 18:09And it's really sick. Like I'm jealous.
- 18:13But I can kind of understand why people take a bit more pride in
- 18:18like fit and finish and you know, like really having like
- 18:23nice paint and stuff like that in areas where you can drive the
- 18:26car around because. Yeah, kind of makes sense.
- 18:28I never thought about that. But yeah, you guys, yeah, none
- 18:30of those cars are really well, some of some of you guys are St.
- 18:33drive the cars right or none. I mean, Aaron does.
- 18:36When he's in. Washington.
- 18:37OK. Yeah, I thought you guys for
- 18:39some reason though. We all just think you're
- 18:41annoying each. Other in that area.
- 18:43Yeah, Aaron's just outside Seattle in Everett, WA He's been
- 18:46there, I think most of his life, so.
- 18:48OK. Weird that's why he's always cuz
- 18:51you can get plates up there. I feel so bad every time.
- 18:54I think that's also why I was kind of afraid because I called
- 18:58him Fun Frankie right away because they both have long hair
- 19:02and. Who made that?
- 19:03Josh made that. Someone did and somebody and he
- 19:06just does more fun stuff than Frankie.
- 19:08So I was like, that's fun, Frankie I.
- 19:10Think Josh made that? Yeah.
- 19:11He's like, that's fun, Frankie. And I think when I met him, I
- 19:13said that to him and he's like, what the fuck are you talking
- 19:15about? I know.
- 19:16And I was like, all right. And like a fucking moron dude, I
- 19:19said the same thing. You said the same shit.
- 19:21Yes. That's funny, he thinks we're
- 19:23crazy. What else I'm going to say dude,
- 19:24I don't like know that person and I know I just watch videos
- 19:27of that person. Or maybe I'm confusing.
- 19:29I think I confuse him with another one of your guys's.
- 19:32Jason, there's only. No, not Jason or.
- 19:35What's? Is there another one?
- 19:36Start naming them all that. Looks like Frankie.
- 19:38No, no, no. Just start naming your team
- 19:39mates off. I can't remember all of them.
- 19:42That's crazy. Julian Ryan, Jason Sam Jam.
- 19:48Jam. Maybe Sam, I don't know.
- 19:52Sam's car is like the crazier. The crazy one.
- 19:56This is the one with the fade. Orange and red fade.
- 19:59That's Sam. OK, then there's Brandon and
- 20:03Aaron. Me.
- 20:06Dude, animal styles. Fucking Luke.
- 20:08It's kind of big. Dude, we got we.
- 20:10Got nine people. 9 is huge. I.
- 20:12Like, I like that. That's sick.
- 20:13That's what they all say, yeah. Not to me.
- 20:19Well dude, nine people Sounds like an organizational nightmare
- 20:24you would have. AI thought you were going to say
- 20:25orgy? That was crazy.
- 20:26No for what? I'm sorry I.
- 20:29Malcolm No team orgies. Quite.
- 20:31Yet Malcolm, get your freaky ass one reference. 9 is cool though,
- 20:37but how do you OK so my thing always was when we were like
- 20:40making the drift team and everything and like trying to
- 20:43fucking wrestle all these motherfuckers like.
- 20:46Oh dude, do. You guys have a problem with
- 20:48like? Getting them in one spot.
- 20:50Not even, not even that I'm talking something else.
- 20:52I'm talking like, do you have a problem with like, brainwashing
- 20:56these motherfuckers to know what is cool?
- 20:58No. Or you just let them go wild.
- 21:00I mean, I, I'm not really in the forefront of like that.
- 21:07I I'm I'm not. I don't know how to explain this
- 21:10you. Guys are like, you guys can be
- 21:12the very California vibe where like you guys aren't.
- 21:15There's there's a vibe check before the car thing even
- 21:20happens. You know like Sam was like
- 21:23hanging out at Julian's for like 3 years before he even, I mean
- 21:30you know, he was working on his car and stuff like that.
- 21:31But by the time he's on the team, it's like he's already
- 21:34like, like us and cares about the stuff he.
- 21:37Got the slow drip? Yeah, exactly like.
- 21:40That's what it is, dude. That's what it is.
- 21:42That was the coolest thing you've ever.
- 21:43Said it is though, like the slow drip.
- 21:45That's the slow drip. You're getting brainwashed and
- 21:47you don't even know what's happening and then you're like
- 21:49oh fuck I only like low fucking sick drift cars now like.
- 21:53So Jamo Jamo, I think yeah, he had like an E36 at one point
- 21:57when he was like getting started at Good Luck League.
- 22:00Like he was like a part of Good Luck League and started hanging
- 22:04out with Julian. Like I there's kind of this is I
- 22:07don't know if I want to give away the like how to get on
- 22:10animal style step by step, but. Because, you know, somebody
- 22:13might actually take that. Yeah, literally.
- 22:16But like, all of us at one point hung around Julian and Ryan and
- 22:22like was like a anything you need, man.
- 22:26I got you, you know, like I, I wired Julian's car for FD, but
- 22:31he didn't take it to FD. But I like, I was like a car
- 22:33audio installer and I was like, I'll figure it out.
- 22:35Yeah, and like in a in a biker club, they call that a hang
- 22:38around. I thought that was like a
- 22:39prospect, the prospect. Is a level up.
- 22:42Yep. Oh shit.
- 22:43That's when like they you're going to join.
- 22:45Yeah, yeah. Do you know the way how they I?
- 22:47Called Sam a prospect a couple of times like.
- 22:50Yeah, we do that too. Yeah.
- 22:51I'm like he's. Going to you.
- 22:53You did one time. Yeah, we might have.
- 22:55But there's people who like, like be strong Brandon, he's
- 23:00just an unreal driver. He was like coming from Calgary,
- 23:04Canada to, to Southern California to drive ABS with us
- 23:09and like, his cars are cool. His driving is like unreal.
- 23:14And then, you know, it just makes sense.
- 23:16Like I, I think Julie and I were like talking about like, oh,
- 23:18it'd be cool to have Brandon on the team.
- 23:20And he's like, yeah, I'm going to reach that's.
- 23:21Kind of like Jimmy with Front St.
- 23:23Yeah, yeah. I like that you guys have been
- 23:26friends for so long at this point and still do things
- 23:31together. That's really important, and
- 23:34people don't understand how hard that is to hold a friend for
- 23:36that long. It is it's tough, man.
- 23:38Like the we have just like any long going thing.
- 23:44Like it's like being in I, I, I hate saying this, but it's like
- 23:47being in a band, you know, like going on tour.
- 23:50Like there's all these like fucking logistical headaches and
- 23:53blah, blah, blah. And this person like, well, what
- 23:55day we got an Airbnb? There's not enough room for
- 23:58everybody. Fuck, this guy's got to stay in
- 23:59the OK. So there's always like, you
- 24:01know, you got nine people and then as you get older, there's
- 24:04like partners. Yeah.
- 24:07And then there's kids and like, it's just like as as it's, it
- 24:13was. It's not like 25 year old like
- 24:16let's crash our shit boxes into each other and then put on the
- 24:19trailer and go home and sleep in the truck as like somebody else
- 24:22drives like you know. Yeah, it's like a next, the next
- 24:25level to that. It's kind of insane that you
- 24:27can't put that on your resume, huh?
- 24:28Because like getting to drift events and like getting your car
- 24:33ready and figuring out what you need and then handling an issue
- 24:38that comes up right then. So just so you could go drifting
- 24:43is all talent like that or skill and and luck, like a lot of luck
- 24:49and. My level of dedication to
- 24:51drifting is does not equal my level of dedication to
- 24:54employment. I wouldn't be fucking sitting
- 24:57here right now. No job.

- 26:05talk about that earlier because unfortunately we're both laid
- 26:08off at the moment. But now it's so nice to see you.
- 26:11Some people you could you could take that a bad way.
- 26:14Well, now that I'm laid down, yeah, now that I'm on the After
- 26:16Hours podcast, like it's just going up from.
- 26:19Here only up from here dude, it's.
- 26:21Only up from here. 2 out of three of us have no job.
- 26:23But yeah, it's only up from here.
- 26:25But you hang out in here, you might feel rich some days.
- 26:29Sometimes you do, yeah. But no, it's, it's, it's hard.
- 26:32And I know some people because I only know this, that there are
- 26:35listeners that are in this same situation too.
- 26:38You're not by yourself. Go outside and touch some grass
- 26:41and enjoy life because what else you're going to do?
- 26:44Sebastian Rodriguez said this once And it was like life was,
- 26:48he told us life was 90% or 80% perception and then 20%.
- 26:52It's just, it's like it's happened.
- 26:55And I feel like if you look at this as like an opportunity for
- 26:57you to take a trip, which you have.
- 26:59I'm so happy dude. Lit this trip so far.
- 27:02I'm surprised that you're even get when you're here.
- 27:04When he came in the shop and he was like, yeah, I was like, oh,
- 27:06what what do you, what do you do for work?
- 27:07He's like, oh, I just got fired. That's why I'm doing this.
- 27:09I was like, oh, sick. Like that's exactly what you
- 27:12should be doing. Like that's 100% what I would be
- 27:14doing. So, yeah, I mean that that you
- 27:17have to take those opportunities because you don't know when
- 27:19you're going to get them. Again, it's this is one of the
- 27:21best decisions I've ever made is.
- 27:22On this trip you get to I like to call it like early retire
- 27:27'cause some days. You know, you know about that
- 27:29life, I guess. Some days when you're like
- 27:32working for yourself it and it's something you enjoy.
- 27:35Even this what we're doing right now, this shit does not feel
- 27:38real. No normal norm.
- 27:41You know, the average population does not get to just do this or
- 27:44like see the people that or see the things that we get to see.
- 27:48There's a lot of people who the only way they're going to get on
- 27:50a podcast if they start their own, you know?
- 27:52Yeah, and like that's in. Like how?
- 27:55My side note, That's how I feel about drift clubs, by the way.
- 27:58What? Oh, I better start another one.
- 28:00It's like, why don't you just try to join one?
- 28:01Not to push people on animal style, what we were talking
- 28:03about before, but you're like. We're full bro.
- 28:06Though yeah, don't go hanging. Out at Julian's house.
- 28:08They've got nine people. That's that's different.
- 28:09But like who? Just fucked over Julian so.
- 28:12But like dude people always start go hang out at.
- 28:15Julian. I feel like, I feel like they
- 28:17always start new drift clubs and shit.
- 28:18I'm like yo you could just like probably join one if you just
- 28:21like hung. Out, dude.
- 28:22Like talk to him and like, yeah, you know what I mean?
- 28:24That's like side note. But that's exactly how friend
- 28:27groups, there's friend groups out there that come up and they
- 28:31want to do drifting too. You can't, you can't be like,
- 28:33yo, you're going to have to fall into these strata right here.
- 28:37Well, yeah, I mean, if you have total different ideals than
- 28:39other people, then yeah. I think that's what's nice is
- 28:41that kids are still doing that type thing and not kids, but
- 28:46like other drivers are still thinking about that because if
- 28:52you think about it, it's a it's a weird.
- 28:54It's. It's like, oh, let's make a
- 28:57drift team, what the fuck are you going to get if you make a
- 28:59drift team? No, you get to go to Final Belt
- 29:02regional and. Then yeah, that that's what they
- 29:04want to get, yeah. It's different now, man.
- 29:06Yeah, it's a change. Like it used to be like you just
- 29:08make a team because it's cool and now there's like a reason to
- 29:12do it, which I actually like, man.
- 29:14I love, I love team drifting. I think final belt is like a
- 29:18really good. There was like the first final
- 29:21belt was like this amazing gathering of like people who
- 29:25have been dedicated to like a certain style of drifting and
- 29:29like pretty much preserving like this really cool, like Ika 10
- 29:33team drift concept and like what it's evolved into.
- 29:38Like for a little bit it hit this like weird, like we're too
- 29:42cool for you. And then most of drifting
- 29:44rejected it because they felt left out.
- 29:47And then now it's hit this like kind of like new wave of like,
- 29:50oh, I don't. That was my favorite period, by
- 29:51the way, but continue. Well, we known everyone hated
- 29:54it. Yeah.
- 29:55That was my favorite period when they when they wouldn't let
- 29:59anyone in. Yeah, that was my very period.
- 30:01And they still don't, I mean, I don't know, to go back to like
- 30:04the the team thing, like how do you still like have the drive to
- 30:08like get everybody to to go drive?
- 30:11Driving with animal style is like one of the highest highs
- 30:17I've ever had. Like everybody on that team
- 30:20drives so fucking hard and they're all really impressive in
- 30:23their own way and just getting to do laps with those dudes and
- 30:28like going 110% and knowing that like everyone either in front or
- 30:33behind you is doing the same thing is, I don't know, like
- 30:38back to the band things like, dude, you know, am I going to go
- 30:41play fucking, you know, in a jazz jazz band and I don't know,
- 30:44stupid or am I? Going to go go in a jazz band
- 30:47or? You're Are you going to play
- 30:48Mötley Crüe when you're supposed?
- 30:49To be a Mötley Crüe, Yeah, that's.
- 30:51What I'm like, I want to go play thrash metal.
- 30:54I want to go play like, you know, the blue book.
- 30:56Yeah, exactly. So it's like that's what keeps
- 30:59us going is if everybody's going somewhere and we're going to go
- 31:02put on a show like that, we get a lot of energy from that and
- 31:06it's like worth the huge sacrifice.
- 31:08And I think like people see that and they want to create that for
- 31:12themselves. And that's why teams are growing
- 31:16like people see you like what comes from doing well at final
- 31:20bout. Like there's seeing like a train
- 31:25of really cool cars, like stacked up at US air.
- 31:29People want to go do that, you know?
- 31:31Dude, that, that, yeah, that is a feeling that because I'm I'm
- 31:38kid, I am the kid. I was going to say he's one of
- 31:40those people. Because I wanted to drift with
- 31:42Frankie for so freaking long. Like a long time.
- 31:45So then this was. After I retired.
- 31:46Yeah, so then I hung around here because I wanted to revive the
- 31:49dead horse. Yeah.
- 31:52Which is still dead. I'm still and you're still
- 31:55beating it I. Saw it on a rotisserie back,
- 31:57yeah. It's dead for now, but like I
- 32:02hung around and then what ends up happening is this person is
- 32:05no longer drifting. So then it forms another team
- 32:08and then my team now is are are just we don't have.
- 32:12The yellow fevers. We don't have a goal right now.
- 32:14That's your fucking team. We're all different Asians.
- 32:16Yeah. Yellow fever.
- 32:18Yeah, he just fucking stares at you.
- 32:22A lot of people buy the merch maybe.
- 32:23Maybe. Maybe for like a weird reason,
- 32:27no? Let me get a shirt, dude.
- 32:29Dude, yes hobby. I really hope Laura doesn't
- 32:32watch this. We had, we had a buddy.
- 32:36I'm not going to name names because maybe now it'll be
- 32:38funnier because he does listen to these, but obviously he's
- 32:42white and his girl at the time was Asian.
- 32:44And I was like, yo, you need one of these shirts?
- 32:47You can't wear that out with her bro.
- 32:49I know that's. Crazy.
- 32:50What's funny is we, me and Ethan were my, my one teammate and
- 32:53friend. We were like placed pretty high
- 32:55on at like a, at like a tandem comp.
- 32:57And this guy, like somebody's father or somebody older who was
- 33:01at the event was like, Oh my God, I just got the team name
- 33:07'cause there was another team there with all yellow cars and
- 33:10he thought that that was yellow fever.
- 33:12These cars aren't yellow. No, we're all yellow.
- 33:14We're yellow. The people are.
- 33:15Yeah, that because that was, well, you're not all yellow.
- 33:19One of us is 2/2 of us is black, but.
- 33:22That's why I was like. This is making less sense.
- 33:25The yellow fever was also a plague.
- 33:28Don't catch it. I don't know.
- 33:31Like the blood. Like the blood?
- 33:32What were the team names that didn't make it?
- 33:35I don't even know, that might have been the first tee it.
- 33:38Might have been it. Was like, it was like group chat
- 33:40names started and then we were like.
- 33:42Yeah. I mean, we don't do anything
- 33:44serious. I.
- 33:45Actually like that name, it's. Still a friend group and that's.
- 33:48Is black dudes. That's like.
- 33:50Should I have Asian girlfriends at least?
- 33:52No, totally not. Nobody has Asian girlfriends.
- 33:56No, all right. No, they're, they're the yellow
- 34:00fever. Yeah, the other people have
- 34:02yellow fever like the Watchers. That's what I thought it was and
- 34:05I was like, OK, that's kind of cool.
- 34:06But then there's. Like any other names and I like
- 34:08driving with my friends and I was like, this is a cool
- 34:10Instagram handle. Let's get this shit so.
- 34:13You have at yellow fever. Yeah, no, we I got the yellow
- 34:17fevers. That was what so.
- 34:19This is what happened because I didn't finish my car well.
- 34:22No, that's the end of the story. That that the the story that I
- 34:24or the thing that I'm trying. To finish the car, man.
- 34:27Is it, is it still a friend group?
- 34:29And there's still kids out there who are having fun with it.
- 34:32That's, that's what this shit is about, dude.
- 34:35Like, how, when do you ever think back and think about all
- 34:38the fun that you have had? You had a lot of time on the
- 34:40Yeah. Since 2013, right?
- 34:42I've been on the, I've been on Animal Style since 2013.
- 34:44I was friends with them for like, I was a prospect, you
- 34:48know, for a couple. Years.
- 34:49Let's not use that word. Why I?
- 34:51Mean it was so. Degrading bro.
- 34:53It's not degrading. Frankie called me a prospect one
- 34:56time and I was like, fuck, I'm not.
- 34:57You got to start somewhere, dude.
- 34:59It's. Cool.
- 35:00It's like Hell's Angel shit. Yeah.
- 35:02That's fun. Did you see how they and I
- 35:05watched the video of like when you guys pulled the paper back
- 35:08and Jamo like seen it on the banner?
- 35:11Oh, that's great shield. Like they were painting his car
- 35:14and Jamo left I guess or I don't know what happened that day.
- 35:16Damn. No, he taped that up like a a
- 35:20while before that. And then he just saw that it was
- 35:23on there when you peeled it back.
- 35:24Yeah, and that's so sick. Sam's reveal was the sticker
- 35:28didn't come in time. So like we were at this Mexican
- 35:32restaurant that we stopped at on the way back from Thunder Hill.
- 35:35It was like an outdoor little like taqueria or whatever.
- 35:37And we, we brought him to the back of the car and it was just
- 35:41like a small, it's like this big like maybe like 6 inch animal
- 35:45style sticker like on his back window in the middle.
- 35:47And we're like, and he like looks at us like, does it mean
- 35:52I'm on the and we're like, you're on the team?
- 35:53He's like, oh shit. That's funny, dude.
- 35:56That was amazing. That's cool though, I like that.
- 35:59Like that's. That's the way it should be.
- 36:00I'm glad we kind of like are doing it that like, 'cause
- 36:03that's I. I came back after Team Tandem
- 36:06and ASB to the literally the sticker pulled off the side of
- 36:10Julian's primer car and put on my back window.
- 36:14That's cool. So it's like, that's like the
- 36:17way that you find out. That's so sick.
- 36:19Man, people like Aaron and stuff, they kind of, they
- 36:23weren't in town and they didn't have to.
- 36:25Like they didn't have the same amount of energy that they need.
- 36:32They were just like, it's like, no, you, you party and your car
- 36:35is cool and you like drive really sick already.
- 36:37Like here's the files. Everyone has their own like way
- 36:41on the team. Here's the files.
- 36:44That's so rich. Hey, man.
- 36:47I think he got the, I think he got it mailed or something, I
- 36:49can't remember. But yeah, it's, it's fun, man.
- 36:52The Jamo thing is, we talk about Jamo so much and he's like 2021.
- 36:58I think he just turned 21. That's what you need though.
- 37:00You need the young guys. He's a robot.
- 37:02He's one of those like him and Bryson operate in this.
- 37:06You cannot put those two human beings in the same category,
- 37:09dude. Just going to say wait.
- 37:11They like please tell me what when they have in common.
- 37:14When they talk to each other or when Bryson isn't being a
- 37:18retard, he's pretty analytical. He's pretty analytical.
- 37:21Like he's a pretty calculated guy, that.
- 37:24Guy seems kind of. Crazy.
- 37:25He only does stuff. Yeah, it's always the crazy
- 37:27ones, bro. Look at you dude.
- 37:30No. Look at you.
- 37:31Look at you. You're crazy.
- 37:32Look at you. No, you're crazy, everybody.
- 37:35Yes, we're all kind of crazy. I would say Jamo is the most
- 37:40like calculated, respectful, like well-intentioned, well
- 37:46thought out 21 year old I've ever.
- 37:49Met. Yeah, Bryson is kind of a shit
- 37:50bird. None of that is Bryson.
- 37:53But they're like, I don't know, they're good dudes.
- 37:55They like, they love this shit. That's what they have in common.
- 37:58They like, really care about drifting and you know.
- 38:01They just operate and just like they're, they got 10 years.
- 38:06I'm so upset. Jamo's as good as he is already.
- 38:10I'm like, dude, I'm like, dude, by the time he's my age, like
- 38:16I'm gonna retire. Like maybe even like in the next
- 38:20couple. Like there's just no.
- 38:22No, don't say it but his. His level, his level that he's
- 38:26gained in such a short amount of time is like, truly amazing.
- 38:30Do you think that would you put that, would you put that on on
- 38:34raw talent alone or because of how hard somebody works?
- 38:39That fool is on peptides or something.
- 38:43Dude, I don't know. You think?
- 38:44No, no, he's got. He's got AG one.
- 38:45He's got he's drinking AG1AG1A scoop a day keeps the doctor
- 38:48away. That's.
- 38:49Why I like that? Not really.
- 38:51It's not a health, it's not a health substitute.
- 38:54Yeah, bring out the whole pamphlet.
- 38:55That's a yeah. Don't say that.
- 38:56Don't say that. Yeah, don't say that.
- 38:59No. I just, I can't wait.
- 39:01I I was like hyped that somebody like it.
- 39:04It's kind of growing like you kind of rolled in the new age, I
- 39:09guess. With the drivers.
- 39:10Yeah, Jamo is. Jamo's pushing hard like that.
- 39:14That dude is has set us in a different direction, you know
- 39:19what I mean? Like he's driving a lot.
- 39:21He's making his car really good. Like Jamo's car is mechanically
- 39:27put together very, very, very well.
- 39:30And I like almost pushing. I would say Julian and like Ryan
- 39:35and Jamo was like telling Ryan what like wiring stuff he should
- 39:41do on his car. Oh, he's a wiring type, like
- 39:45very like if you made a fuse pan like a like a switch panel, the
- 39:49wires would all be perfect. Is he that kind?
- 39:53I don't know, I didn't look at it that closely, but I mean,
- 39:55just like the thought process on like how to build a car that's
- 39:59going to be reliable and also be able to be driven very hard.
- 40:04And that that was the thing that was most impressive to me
- 40:06because it takes time to figure that out.
- 40:11And a lot of like trial and error and like go into the track
- 40:14and having your car not work. And he's like dealing with that
- 40:16with like head gasket stuff and like, you know, whatever.
- 40:19But like as far as? Making the right decisions for
- 40:22longevity. He's already doing that at such
- 40:25a young age. He's going to get a lot of drive
- 40:27time and he's going to elevate his driving very, very quickly.
- 40:33He definitely does drift simulations and shit like that.
- 40:36Yeah, I mean like all these dude, if they had a set of
- 40:40Corsa, I mean they did, they had lift for speed and stuff when we
- 40:43started, but it wasn't like a social like.
- 40:47Did we have Forza 4? Dude, you didn't.
- 40:48It wasn't. No, during that time there was
- 40:51Live for Speed. I'm so we didn't have that.
- 40:53You mentioned that live for Speed was so old and you had
- 40:56like the most basic sound file. You were there because it you
- 41:01can drift in it and the wheel would be able to rotate more
- 41:04than just like this. That was a really, really good
- 41:07game. Live for Speed's a great
- 41:09simulator. My gosh, they just.
- 41:10Came out with a new version. Did they really?
- 41:12Yeah, wow. And like, that's the one that we
- 41:15would play when we were going to like Julian if I went to
- 41:18Julian's house back in my, you know, early.
- 41:22Days, yeah. I mean, I thought a team.
- 41:25I thought Palmer was 28 by the way, for.
- 41:27Those of you that was crazy, that was I thought.
- 41:29We were, take it. Yeah, I thought.
- 41:30That's a good thing or a bad thing.
- 41:32Actually a good thing. Everyone just young again
- 41:34nowadays. I don't know, but you were
- 41:35saying years ago. It's really hard to have online
- 41:41stuff if at all you can't do online with mods.
- 41:45So it's like, you know, you'd have to like launch this other
- 41:47annoying file to like have an angle kit and this like other
- 41:51annoying file to like have all this other stuff.
- 41:53So it was like really complicated just to like turn it
- 41:55on and go do like a couple apps. But we would, we'd like trade
- 42:00off and try and like up each other's like entries and stuff
- 42:03like that. There was a weird mod for that
- 42:07where you can make any engine value.
- 42:11You were able to just like switch it up dude.
- 42:13You could make like it would give you like the specifications
- 42:16for the make. Place or feel like a V8?
- 42:19Not necessarily, but like you would put like 2 liter 4
- 42:24cylinder and then like your all these other little
- 42:26specifications and then you'd press OK and the the sound would
- 42:30change and all of this stuff would change.
- 42:31It was, did it? Real fucking rotate back or no?
- 42:35Yeah. Yeah.
- 42:35It did. The first speed was good.
- 42:37That was like the first one that did that maybe.
- 42:39Yeah, because I remember that was a big thing.
- 42:41It was like, oh, I got a driving simulate and you go and you're
- 42:43like, and then it doesn't do anything and you're like, dude,
- 42:45you can't drift on this game. Dude, you give me a controller
- 42:48You could totally. Drift.
- 42:49That was awesome. That was the game where it'd be
- 42:51like I'd be in my college dorm, I'd be playing that and then go
- 42:55downstairs, go to my S13 and fucking wait till it's raining.
- 42:58And that's when it would feel so fucking similar.
- 43:02It was awesome. Yeah, I mean, that's that's I'm
- 43:04into that, but I feel like a lot of kids are just doing the first
- 43:07part. What's the first part?
- 43:09Just having the simulator and then not the S13, well not.
- 43:12Everybody could do that, man. You you know how it goes.
- 43:14Yeah. That was I left them by them.
- 43:18I left Frankie and Josh alone with the SIM at my house.
- 43:22We were having we were having a Christmas party and I just left
- 43:25them alone and I came upstairs periodically and just saw them.
- 43:28It was like. It was like 2 men retards.
- 43:30It was like 2 men discovering fire dude it was hilarious.
- 43:33Files are in the computer. Literally dude but and his shit
- 43:36OK don't act like it was a perfectly good setup.
- 43:39It's a horrible setup. Terrible bro horrible setup.
- 43:42The wheels like falling off the table.
- 43:43The E brake is like a button. Was it a button?
- 43:45It was a button at the time. So at one point I'm sitting next
- 43:47to Josh. I'm kneeling down next to Josh.
- 43:49I have my hand. I'm like, here's your hydro.
- 43:50And I would just like he would hit it and I'd hit the button.
- 43:53It was the most crazy. That was the easiest way.
- 43:56So he would just like and then because you would have to like
- 43:58drift and then hit a button, I'm like.
- 44:00I've had you do this, I've had that set up.
- 44:02I think you got the space bar or something.
- 44:04The space. Bar was a good one because you
- 44:05could like quickly hit a space bar.
- 44:08Yeah, you had like it was like AB button on a controller.
- 44:10I'm like. Do you still SIM and stuff?
- 44:12I feel like it's hard for you. You probably don't have any
- 44:14time. I've been like moving around a
- 44:15lot and then also like, yeah, I've just been so busy.
- 44:19It's tough man. Like it helps so much, but also
- 44:25it does kind of create bad habits in a way.
- 44:28Like if you have the car. I don't know how to explain it
- 44:30but. Like I feel like some things
- 44:33that are unrealistic or like you're timing with clutch and
- 44:37dull that shit and now you go in a car and you break axles
- 44:40because you're grabbing the handbrake at the wrong time and
- 44:41letting off the clutch. That's a bad habit I feel like I
- 44:44saw. You can do a lot of like nasty
- 44:47shifting that you can't do in a regular car.
- 44:49You can like. Yeah, like 2-3 it all the time
- 44:52and you're like, yeah. Also, like, I don't know,
- 44:56there's something about Aceto Corsa and like the front grip
- 44:59that like really messes with me. I think like I think Aceto Corsa
- 45:04having no front grip is like a big reason as to why people like
- 45:09running high front tire pressure and like like a more slippery
- 45:13front tire because that's what they're used.
- 45:16To Oh wow, I never thought about.
- 45:17That, yeah. And you like it's still.
- 45:19Yeah, yeah, I don't. Yeah, when they started telling
- 45:22me about this shit with the front tire pressure and all
- 45:24that, I was like, what? Like I would blew my mind.
- 45:26Because for a while you just run them so that you could get like
- 45:29they're like. Oh, it flows better.
- 45:31I'm like, what are you talking about?
- 45:32Yeah. Like.
- 45:33Josh tried to tell me. You tried it though, didn't you?
- 45:38Try it. I do, I do it.
- 45:39I have it higher than I used to have it but I don't have it like
- 45:43high like. Really.
- 45:45Which? They were putting it crazy high,
- 45:46right? Like 80.
- 45:47Yeah, they're like 60. I remember listening to the when
- 45:51the smoothbrain dudes came in here and they're like oh animal
- 45:54style, runs like 90 PSI on the front and I was just like
- 45:56yelling at my computer. What are you talking about?
- 46:01Or I was like driving and I. Was like, do you guys do any of
- 46:03that shit or no you guys? Don't, no, we all run like
- 46:05really grippy fronts and like at like 30 PSI.
- 46:09And the reason for that is like when you're running a really
- 46:12sticky like 265 and you have like no front grip, you can't
- 46:18flip the car hard. Like you can't do like a shallow
- 46:21faint because if you do you just lose the front.
- 46:26So. That's, I mean, that makes
- 46:27sense. What you were trying to explain.
- 46:30Frankie but, but, but you drove with it one time and you came
- 46:35back and you were. Like I noticed.
- 46:37Is that the list? What in the What in the blender
- 46:39is going on right now? What is that?
- 46:41Malcolm, what is that I. Think that was the That's a
- 46:44spaceship belt Sander. That's the belt Sander that
- 46:48actually sounds like it's inside this room.
- 46:50That was crazy. Sorry, I don't know if the
- 46:52listeners are getting that, but somebody turned on a belt Sander
- 46:54or something. I'm kind of impressed you guys
- 46:56are able to podcast with like the train going by and then like
- 46:59a shop next to. A Rotary start.
- 47:01This side, yeah, it's a real thing for those of you listening
- 47:03who care, yeah, this is a real functioning shop and it's not
- 47:07it's not actually it is a little later.
- 47:09It's the shops closed now? Yeah, it's.
- 47:11It's. After hours, it's the second
- 47:13shift. That's what it is.
- 47:14Yes, this is the second shift. But what what you were saying
- 47:17regarding like turning in and flicking it hard, that's what I
- 47:20remember having before. And then with the higher tire
- 47:24pressure, what I realize is like it might not have as much of
- 47:28that initial bite. But then when you're in drift,
- 47:31it's like light. Like it's super light.
- 47:34I don't know. I don't like when it's too
- 47:36light. So then I just brought it back
- 47:38down. I don't like that.
- 47:40I tried it, but Limitless Auto Fab is a fabrication shop and
- 47:43retailer located in Illinois. They produce bash bars and catch
- 47:46cans for a bunch of popular models in the drifting
- 47:48community. Limitless bash bars are honestly
- 47:50the industry standard right now. Fabricated from 1 1/2 inch mild
- 47:53steel tube, these bars are designed to take the impact of
- 47:56light collisions in order to avoid or minimize damage to your
- 47:59vehicle. A must have for drift cars,
- 48:01their bars also come with jacking points and optional
- 48:03license plate brackets so everything you need is right
- 48:06there from the start. Limitless Auto also sells catch
- 48:08cans for a handful of specific models.
- 48:11These cans are built in house and chassis specific.
- 48:13We have used these cans in the shop with great results.
- 48:16The guys over at Limitless are on social media so make sure to
- 48:19check out their Instagram and give them a follow.
- 48:21They post photos of all the drift cards using their products
- 48:23from Front St. Drift Club to Animal Style.
- 48:25If you are in the market for a bash bar or catch can, make sure
- 48:28to check out their full product line up on our website Faction
- 48:31Motor sports.com. This podcast is sponsored by
- 48:34Ramstead MFG. They sell an easy to use wheel
- 48:37fitment tool that is a massive game changer for any shop or
- 48:39enthusiast looking for an easy way to check their wheel
- 48:42fitment. With their user friendly tool
- 48:44you can check a diameter with an offset before you buy your
- 48:47wheels. Gone are the days of ordering
- 48:48wheels and hoping that your math was correct.
- 48:51Just throw their tool on your wheel hub and dial in your specs
- 48:54to see if your dream wheel clears your coilover and fenders
- 48:57before committing to the purchase.
- 48:58Not only can you check wheel fit in with their tool, you can use
- 49:01it to check suspension clearance as well.
- 49:03This is really great for Drifters who are always changing
- 49:05wheel lock and adding angle to their setups.
- 49:08Now you can see if those new suspension arms or tie rods will
- 49:11clear your wheels at full lock before going out and destroying
- 49:14your new wheels. Another feature is that you can
- 49:16use two of these tools together to measure track width from the
- 49:19wheel center line. About 20% of RAM sets customers
- 49:22purchase 2 tools at once so they can measure track width for
- 49:25various wheel and suspension setups.
- 49:27I recommend this product to the everyday enthusiast and most
- 49:30importantly shop owners that need a way to size wheels for
- 49:32customers so that they know they are getting the right specs
- 49:35before ordering a brand new set of wheels.
- 49:37To get more info, head on over to ramsteadmfg.com and if you'd
- 49:40like to purchase their Wheel Fitment Tool Pro, we are now
- 49:43carrying them in store at Faction Motorsports and Faction
- 49:46motorsports.com. I like being able to use the
- 49:49wheel to like force the car into like where I want it to go.
- 49:53Like you should be driving with the throttle and using the wheel
- 49:55to like force the car like, and you're going to be able to do
- 49:58really the aggressive shit if you can do that.
- 50:00But if the front is just super floaty and you're just driving
- 50:03with the gas, like you're not going to get to the point where
- 50:06you're doing really snappy transitions.
- 50:08You're not going to get to the point where you can like load up
- 50:11and do the snaps like. How is it going to drift app and
- 50:14trying to apply your driving style to a more like up that was
- 50:23that's like up there for me in terms of like how hard that
- 50:26would probably be compared to like.
- 50:27Have you ever drifted a mountain before?
- 50:29No. OK, so that was your first team?
- 50:32Yeah. And I think, like, I'll be
- 50:36completely honest, there's people on my team who probably
- 50:39would have absolutely destroyed that.
- 50:41I had to work for that. That sounded it looks scary I.
- 50:44I like I worked my way up. So you think it looks scary too?
- 50:48I think it looks fucking scary as fuck.
- 50:50Well. Hold on, I want to hear about
- 50:51it. I just want to.
- 50:52I mean, the day one it was raining, you know, and I'm like
- 50:56I want I do want to I really wanted to drive E town.
- 50:59So like that's in my head. I'm like OK.
- 51:01Oh. You're scared.
- 51:02I'm like, I don't want to total my shit 'cause then I just got
- 51:04to go home and my trip's over. So like true and out there you
- 51:10can't think about that. Like drift app is insane, dude.
- 51:16Like the the level of driving of those guys since the first one I
- 51:20saw like clips from the the first one, right?
- 51:22And now they've come back to the same spot.
- 51:24Like I think like a couple times they are single handedly
- 51:30levelling up like east, like eastern US drifting with drift
- 51:35app because it's teaching people to drive with speed and like
- 51:40shallow angle and not washy like outer zones.
- 51:42Like you have to rate do the racing toge line or like you're
- 51:46going to be in the barrier or you're going to be in the
- 51:48mountain. And so like I'm coming down the
- 51:51hill like kind of expecting people to do the like big wide,
- 51:56like edge to edge stuff and like some people are, but like
- 51:59they're still hitting like the inner apexes on the corners
- 52:02where they have to. And that's kind of how animal
- 52:07style likes to drive. Like we've especially like when
- 52:12we play a Seto as a team. Like we just play.
- 52:16Toge Oh, you're just a hills like on those nights where you
- 52:19are to get it, yeah. Like Kato is like a huge Toge
- 52:23nerd. Like he like loves the like the
- 52:26way that he drives is very fast, like and so like I'm doing like
- 52:32Toge Isetto stuff leveled me up as a driver on everything all
- 52:38tracks, because like you learn how to carry speed and if you
- 52:41like wash on the toge, like see ya, you know, like people or
- 52:45you're getting torpedoed by the person behind.
- 52:48You, you're doing a kickflip, dude.
- 52:49Did you see Reese's? Yeah, I'm glad.
- 52:51That was the best explanation of Drift Appalachia, by the way,
- 52:54that I've ever heard like. The.
- 52:56Like the driving and everything like that.
- 52:59I'm like, OK, cool, now it now I get what you're like, what it's
- 53:01all about. You got to do it if you get the
- 53:03option, do not miss that. It looks so fucking scary.
- 53:07That looks it looks insane. The night time looked sick.
- 53:10Did you got to drive at all at night?
- 53:11I did, yeah. I had.
- 53:14I had a time, man. Like, so Friday was short, like
- 53:20it was only like a couple sessions and I was like, I was
- 53:25like a little nervous and it was like pouring rain to me and Josh
- 53:28are like out there, like trying to door each other on this
- 53:31stupid rainy mountain and like getting like really sketchy.
- 53:35But we, you know, we made it. And then Saturday rolls around
- 53:38and yeah, my, I had like fuel issues.
- 53:43And so I was like trying to troubleshoot that.
- 53:44And then I like, I got, I like borrowed somebody's like Amazon
- 53:47Hellcat pump. Hell yeah, I.
- 53:49Slapped that in dude. Red key all day.
- 53:54Wait, are you? Full serious Yeah.
- 53:57Hellcat pump and it worked great.
- 54:00I mean. Those.
- 54:01Pumps. Those pumps are, yeah, the
- 54:02Hellcat pumps are pretty serious, yeah.
- 54:04Dude I so your car makes the sound not weird.
- 54:09Supercharger. So I've I got that in with like
- 54:12two runs left in the day and I kind of I wasn't feeling super
- 54:18good about my driving. I got to do two runs and I did
- 54:20like the the last two like up and downs and I would got to be
- 54:23the lead car and the clip that I posted of me like going uphill
- 54:28with no one in front of me except for the the Evo like lead
- 54:31car. Start boy.
- 54:32Johnny, by the way, yeah, Johnny lives in the mountains over
- 54:37here. Like every single night he's in
- 54:38the mountains. So doing this shit is like
- 54:41perfect for him. That one I was like fuck no, I'm
- 54:43going to catch this evo in drift.
- 54:45Like I'm going hard like. I was too scared to go to 3rd in
- 54:49the train because my car like just has like a ton of grip and
- 54:52shallow angle. So it was like surging with like
- 54:54high wheel speed and I didn't want to be down low because you
- 54:56know, I don't want to fucking blow up my diff.
- 54:59And so I was like ringing it out in second gear, like just trying
- 55:04to like stay in the trains. And I, I was like, so I watched
- 55:08that GoPro footage like 2 days later and I was just like, damn,
- 55:12that's really cool. Like I'm so happy.
- 55:14I like captured that moment because it was it was just I got
- 55:18to the top of the hill and I was like, that was one of the
- 55:20craziest things I've ever done. Like is there ever a line there
- 55:25where you crossover it and you're like, I'm locked.
- 55:30This is what it's all about. Like, did you ever hit that
- 55:32realization while you were out there where you like that
- 55:35doesn't any of that, none of that sounds real at all.
- 55:38So I feel like I'd have to take a.
- 55:40I'd have to find time to be like, holy crap.
- 55:43They they like everybody's like, oh, like I don't care about
- 55:46anything anymore. I just want to do this like.
- 55:48Yeah, that's how it. Say who said it, But there's
- 55:51like some big names that are like, I don't care about
- 55:54anything. I just want to do Drift App.
- 55:56The funniest part about this whole thing is that this is how
- 55:59drifting started. Yeah, which is the funniest part
- 56:02I know. So it's like, it's almost like
- 56:04backwards in America. They're like, oh, we figured out
- 56:07the thing that like created drifting is cooler than the
- 56:11drifting we created. It's like, yo-yo, we should do
- 56:13this on the mountains. Like yeah, no shit.
- 56:15But like, yeah bro, I. Mean I'm glad they figured out
- 56:17how to do it legally, but. I hope one day they find like a
- 56:20shorter technical one where I don't have to do 1,000,000 miles
- 56:24an hour. You don't have to go that bad
- 56:26like you do. You need to be.
- 56:30It is like all about timing and reflex and like being OK.
- 56:36So like I got the car running. I did those two laps.
- 56:39I go to pull it on the trailer because you have to like move
- 56:41everything because it's like a road that opens after they're
- 56:44like you have 40, you have 15 minutes to load up and get the
- 56:47fuck out. Don't show it by yourself like I
- 56:49did because like. If you have somebody.
- 56:52They can drive the truck and trailer and you can drive the
- 56:54car, but like I had to like load up because like I'm one person.
- 56:58Also get there early because if you're pitted all the way in the
- 57:01back and don't have like a scooter or something, like
- 57:03you're going to do a lot of walking.
- 57:05And yeah, so I like, go to load the car on the trailer and my
- 57:08power steering dies and I'm like, all right, this is the
- 57:11universe saying don't drive the night session.
- 57:13That's how I would feel. And I'm, I'm like, you know
- 57:15what? I'll let the universe decide.
- 57:17I like put it in the, the Facebook chat and I'm like, does
- 57:20anybody have a pump? And some dude's like, yeah, I
- 57:22got 1. I'm like, oh shit, alright,
- 57:24let's see how fast we're going to power steering.
- 57:26Oh. My God.
- 57:27We got it in started and bled like as the drivers meeting was
- 57:30starting and like Sam from smooth rain like rolled like
- 57:35rolled it off the trailer for me because he was like in there
- 57:37bleeding it while I was like pouring stuff.
- 57:39I'm like OK, I guess. I guess we're doing this.
- 57:41The first downhill run was all 30 cars.
- 57:47Dude, this, this is the Palmer's at the front.
- 57:49I was not at the front, I was like in the middle back, which
- 57:52was like a bad, bad. Place to be.
- 57:55That's the craziest part to me. Like the mountain, I'm fine with
- 57:58that. 2-3 people, OK, That many people, I'm like, yo, I'd be
- 58:02panicking because I'm just thinking about the third cars
- 58:04ahead. It just looked.
- 58:06Like fucking nuts. I remember it started crossing
- 58:10into like the the media being night time and I was like no
- 58:16fucking shot. This looks insane.
- 58:20Like the same speed except it's dry and whoever's idea it was
- 58:27for the lights, kind of. Sick as well.
- 58:30They were really nice to have because I couldn't.
- 58:32Yeah, dude, I got. These like I got like Amazon LED
- 58:37headlights and they showed up like dead in the box.
- 58:40Yeah. And I was like, well, I guess
- 58:41I'm using my fucking eBay one piece halogens and see how?
- 58:45See what? I did They tell you guys like
- 58:46you'll probably get more lights because I saw Josh had lights on
- 58:49his car too. Like Josh was.
- 58:50Lit up. Yeah, he.
- 58:51Was lighting up the back of my car.
- 58:53Josh put some like additional lights on his bumper or
- 58:56something. His shit was bright.
- 58:57I had to like move my mirrors. That's Josh being Josh dude.
- 59:00He probably I'm going to put some toe gay Lloyds that point
- 59:04out like that. He's really prepared, yeah.
- 59:06Yeah, that guy's just well, Josh.
- 59:08Only cares about drifting, so yeah, that's literally his life.
- 59:11That's he's. The most dedicated person to
- 59:13drifting I know. What do you guys like outside of
- 59:16drifting? Motorcycles.
- 59:17Motorcycles hiking you like you're.
- 59:19Not talking to anyone about drifting hiking.
- 59:22You like hiking? I just started getting into
- 59:24hiking. Dude.
- 59:25Yeah, for real. Yeah, dude, hiking is.
- 59:27I do. I hike every week and it's like
- 59:30I go in the woods, I fucking get turn my phone on mute, whatever
- 59:33the fuck and I just I'm good for like 2-3 hours or whatever.
- 59:36It's a good reset. Yeah.
- 59:37Yeah, I like outdoors too. That's my thing.
- 59:40He's the one that got me hiking. Funny enough, I.
- 59:42Took him out one time and then he bought boots and bought this
- 59:45and bought that and never stopped going.
- 59:47Sort of like this podcast and then never stopped since that
- 59:51weekend. Did you ever think you'd be
- 59:53influential to the dude you're afraid of?
- 59:56No, because I didn't think he was going to like it.
- 59:59I it. Wasn't I it?
- 1:00:00Was you it? Was, you know, it was a really
- 1:00:02hard no. It wasn't a hard convince.
- 1:00:04No, Ethan said Frankie won't go. Yeah, you said.
- 1:00:06Good luck, Frankie. Good luck bringing him and.
- 1:00:08Then he came and then you invited me and I was like.
- 1:00:11Yeah, fuck you wore Doc. Martins.
- 1:00:12I wore Doc Martins or some shit. Something really painful.
- 1:00:15It's like a three mile, 3 1/2 mile.
- 1:00:17Dude, I like was not, I'm, I'm not really an outdoorsy person,
- 1:00:21but I don't know, I grew up like in being into military and shit
- 1:00:25like that. So like I, I did airsoft and
- 1:00:27shit so I there was a time when I was into that, but I wasn't
- 1:00:30into it anymore. So all my shit was so bad.
- 1:00:32Like I'm wearing jeans like. Yeah, it was funny.
- 1:00:35Fucking Doc Martens hiking. I'm like, yo, my feet are fucked
- 1:00:39up. It was a good time and then now
- 1:00:40Frankie goes all over and hikes. When we went to AVS that one
- 1:00:44time, I went on a plane and Frankie, literally.
- 1:00:46Went on a like, yeah, I went in. Solo I'm like, dude.
- 1:00:49You're where the fuck did you hike out there?
- 1:00:51There's a mountain though. There's a lot of mountains out
- 1:00:53there, but there's a mountain really close to that, to that
- 1:00:57track. And I didn't really know exactly
- 1:00:59where I was, but I knew that the track was probably around there.
- 1:01:03And I remember coming down off the mountain, I was like, I was
- 1:01:06like, I know it's around here, but I don't know.
- 1:01:10I got in the car and I'm driving.
- 1:01:11I'm driving down this road and I'm like looking around.
- 1:01:12I'm like, dude, I'm going to pass our Airbnb.
- 1:01:17I know it like from, and I'm talking from like 2017 when we
- 1:01:20went to the first Super D or yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:01:22I was like, we're going to pack and I'm like, I'm going around
- 1:01:25this bend and it just appears and I'm like, dude, immediately
- 1:01:28like flashbacks to like one of the best trips of my life, like
- 1:01:31going out there. Occasionally we'll watch the
- 1:01:33Super D that you went to like Diego's favorite video is like
- 1:01:37from 2017 Super D and we like watched it the other day
- 1:01:41together. And then there are clips of your
- 1:01:44car that's. Crazy because it didn't really
- 1:01:46drive. I did like 4.
- 1:01:46And I'm like, wait, click, click, click, click.
- 1:01:48And then I'm like, that is Frankie for sure.
- 1:01:51I did like 4 laps, blew the trans and I was like yeah I'm
- 1:01:53not doing this shit. Fuck that.
- 1:01:55They had a. They literally had another
- 1:01:56trans. Yeah, I was like, I'm not doing
- 1:01:58this shit, fuck it. But I I probably should have
- 1:02:01fixed it looking back but. I think that you should have
- 1:02:06fixed this I. Also, don't really give a fuck.
- 1:02:07I don't know, Like it was one of those things where I wanted to
- 1:02:10go across the country. That was the goal.
- 1:02:12So like getting there was cool, drifting was cool, but it was
- 1:02:16way cooler just being in California with my car and my
- 1:02:19friends and everything. And and then knowing that I'm
- 1:02:22going to also go back, like we're going to go up to San
- 1:02:25Francisco and then head back. And I was like, I was just more
- 1:02:27excited for that, like honestly. Do you have any more on your map
- 1:02:30after? Because like you made your way
- 1:02:32down, you're at Polecat first. Polecat was originally like the
- 1:02:36beginning. That's like all I was going to
- 1:02:38do. Wow, so you changed your whole.
- 1:02:43When did you change your decision on that like?
- 1:02:45I wasn't even going to drive Polecat until like I think like
- 1:02:492 days before I left and I'd like there's just.
- 1:02:53That's the best trip though. There was like a whole lot going
- 1:02:55on and I'm like, I need to go drifting.
- 1:02:59Everybody says Polecat is like the best track in the US I'm
- 1:03:02going to go find out for myself if this fucking car starts.
- 1:03:04It's been a pain in my ass for a year.
- 1:03:07Like I'm putting it on the trailer and I'm going and so I.
- 1:03:11And then it turned on. Yeah, then it started.
- 1:03:13I was like, fuck it, let's do this.
- 1:03:14You know what? What's your review of that
- 1:03:15track? I think it's a very, very good
- 1:03:18track. I think if you want to RIP like
- 1:03:21third gear and do elevation change and then also there's a
- 1:03:24section like, you know, the front straight, you could blast
- 1:03:27it and like pull E break if you want to do that kind of stuff.
- 1:03:30Like there's a lot of variety, but I would say like as far as
- 1:03:35like, I don't know, everybody wanted me to say it's the best
- 1:03:38track I've ever driven and like. It's.
- 1:03:41Not it's really, really, really good and it's definitely up
- 1:03:44there, but like, it's hard to pick, you know?
- 1:03:46I can't wait for you to drive E. Town What is your favorite
- 1:03:48track? It's going to be E town.
- 1:03:50I don't know. I don't know if I have a
- 1:03:51favorite track. Like I really liked ABS, but
- 1:03:54then I lived in Socal and that was like the only track we went
- 1:03:57and drove. And like, I really like Horse
- 1:04:00Thief. I think Horse Thief's like one
- 1:04:05of I'm really, I feel like I'm really good on horse thief.
- 1:04:08I feel like I can like drive that shit with my eyes closed.
- 1:04:11Sonoma like. I've never been there, I don't
- 1:04:14think. Is that the one with the big
- 1:04:16flick after the hill? Like is it that one?
- 1:04:19It's like a downhill and it's a. So there's like a bunch of
- 1:04:21different layouts at Sonoma, Sonoma's, you know, Sears Point,
- 1:04:26right? And they like for a while had
- 1:04:28like a ton of drifting there. And there's this one layout
- 1:04:31called Summer Jam where it's like 123, you know, first,
- 1:04:37second, third gear, then like a flick up a hill, then upshift
- 1:04:404th and you're like coming down this like crazy elevation
- 1:04:43change. Snap back and you can.
- 1:04:45Fucking back you down this like downhill.
- 1:04:47Wait, is that in Forza of that track?
- 1:04:49Yeah, OK, I know what you're talking.
- 1:04:50About yeah, yeah, yeah. So like, I really like that one
- 1:04:53and then man, I don't know, there's just, there's so much
- 1:04:57good. You can't, everything is
- 1:04:59different. Thunder Hill is just like
- 1:05:01incredible. There's 2 tracks there, there's
- 1:05:03east, there's W 1's really fast, one's like a little slower but
- 1:05:07still really gnarly and has like a ton of great sections and
- 1:05:12dude. Even us talking about.
- 1:05:15Mega with like both of the tracks combined.
- 1:05:17Like shout out Julio for letting me RIP his S15 there.
- 1:05:20Like that shit is fucking all. Like you can't pick.
- 1:05:23There's no best track. Yeah, there is no best track.
- 1:05:27Yeah, I kind of feel the same way.
- 1:05:28There is no best. Track I just, I find it a hard
- 1:05:30time for me to not have fun when we're drifting so I do kind of
- 1:05:34agree but. You have your preferences.
- 1:05:37I'm trying to think of like if what I would think is my
- 1:05:40favorite. One, because those tracks out in
- 1:05:41California are big dude, they're like.
- 1:05:43Sick they look because they're race.
- 1:05:45Laguna. Laguna was fucking crazy.
- 1:05:47That's right, you got to drift there.
- 1:05:49That's. Wild.
- 1:05:50The the Corkscrew was. That is.
- 1:05:53Insane, that's. You've got to drift race tracks.
- 1:05:56That is what I thought was cool about when you would see
- 1:06:00drifting on a professional circuit like that, because
- 1:06:02that's where race cars go. That's what I like that the
- 1:06:06racing line like that shit. Is cool, that shit's crazy to.
- 1:06:09Me, You got to drift the Corkscrew at Laguna Sega.
- 1:06:11Yeah, that's crazy. One of the most challenging
- 1:06:14tricky corners that are infamously in Motorsports and
- 1:06:17you can't. How was that?
- 1:06:19It was sick, man. I was so like the drive started
- 1:06:24out. We had a drivers meeting for
- 1:06:25this is for grid life. And I'm like in this room and
- 1:06:28it's just like all pros and like me and Jason, we're like, how
- 1:06:33the fuck did we get in here? And Nick's one comes in and he's
- 1:06:37just like, maybe I think Nick. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:06:40He goes like, all right, guys, they don't fucking want you
- 1:06:43here. Don't fuck this up.
- 1:06:45Like go out, keep it clean. Like don't drift.
- 1:06:48They don't want you to drift the Corkscrew.
- 1:06:50Not really. I'm like, oh fuck, that's lame.
- 1:06:52So we go out there and fucking JTP first lap, just wow down the
- 1:06:57Corkscrew and then everybody's like, well, fuck it, we're
- 1:06:59already in this. And I'm like, that's funny.
- 1:07:03I felt like I was in a fucking 4 AC Hachi going down the
- 1:07:08Corkscrew with like 400 horsepower.
- 1:07:11Compared to every other because it just.
- 1:07:13It just was, oh, just, I was like just clutch kicking the
- 1:07:17fuck out of that thing just to make it down.
- 1:07:20Because it's such a steep drop as you're going like, like
- 1:07:23gravity is speeding the car up and like trying to like get your
- 1:07:27wheel speed to be the same as like how you know your, your
- 1:07:30car's moving faster and your wheel speed's catching.
- 1:07:34And so like the car doesn't want to keep drifting.
- 1:07:37This is too crazy bro. It was we talking about drifting
- 1:07:40right now and I'm so. But that's just like another
- 1:07:42level dude like that, That's so crazy to me.
- 1:07:45I want to drive so badly now we don't even really, we don't talk
- 1:07:49about drifting that often as we mentioned earlier.
- 1:07:51So like now I was talking about drifting.
- 1:07:53I'm like. Yo you should start your own
- 1:07:54podcast you're really good at talking about dude.
- 1:07:56Totally no. For real though, he is really
- 1:07:58good about like you're really good at explaining drifting
- 1:08:01really. Yeah, I was.
- 1:08:02Sick. I don't know what it is like for
- 1:08:05some reason, like I'm, I'm like the Drift Appalachia thing.
- 1:08:07I was like, damn, that makes a lot of sense.
- 1:08:10But when other people talk about it, it's just kind of like,
- 1:08:12yeah, it's cool. Yeah, this shit's fucking sick.
- 1:08:15Yeah, it wasn't that hard. Yeah.
- 1:08:17Exactly. Anybody that says that that's
- 1:08:19not that hard is nuts. That thing looks.
- 1:08:21I'm just still there's a level of.
- 1:08:23It would be straight fear for me the whole time the.
- 1:08:26Entire lot. I tried to Josh was on some like
- 1:08:28Sticky Boys and I was on some knot and I was trying to chase
- 1:08:32him down the hill and I I ate the guardrail like a.
- 1:08:35Little like on the. Right side, Is that what it was?
- 1:08:37Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know that.
- 1:08:40Yeah. Tapper and zip tiles.
- 1:08:42Yeah, the tail light was a little.
- 1:08:43In my garnish, yeah, yeah. Oh.
- 1:08:46God, the the craziest part was we did alignment on your car
- 1:08:48when you got here and. The.
- 1:08:51Fucking alignment was not OK that.
- 1:08:53Was that was not from crashing and.
- 1:08:56He was like, yo. He's like, you could tell when
- 1:08:58he came here, he was like, I don't even know if I really want
- 1:09:01to do an alignment 'cause I don't want to mess it up.
- 1:09:03It feels good. And I'm like, what watch?
- 1:09:05We'll put it on the rack and then we'll see.
- 1:09:07And this shit was so out of whack.
- 1:09:09And I was like, yeah, let's just even this out.
- 1:09:11Yes I drove pole cat and then drift app with like 2° of camber
- 1:09:15in the rear on one side, toe in on one side in the rear, toe out
- 1:09:19on the other like. One was 02 degrees of camber,
- 1:09:22the other was what like 0 or like?
- 1:09:24Like .4. Yeah, something like that.
- 1:09:26It was just all over the place. But a lot of people drive like
- 1:09:29that. Like I was telling Chris when I
- 1:09:30was out there, I was like, because Chris was doing it and
- 1:09:32he was like, this is kind of like out, like pretty bad.
- 1:09:36And I'm like, I'm like, dude, when I started drifting, like we
- 1:09:39didn't get alignments, we didn't do any of that shit.
- 1:09:41That car hasn't seen an alignment rack since like before
- 1:09:45the 1st Laguna. Yeah, like if I didn't have this
- 1:09:48situation, we would not be doing.
- 1:09:50Alignments, I think. I think the main reason why you
- 1:09:52don't notice it right away is because it was probably like a a
- 1:09:56the slow drip of like of the alignment slowly getting borked,
- 1:10:01but you're driving I think. You're just adapting, yeah.
- 1:10:05Every single time is if, if there's, if it's getting worse.
- 1:10:08It doesn't matter to you 'cause it was like that the last time.
- 1:10:11That's kind of the animal style way of like, just drive around
- 1:10:13it, you know? Like, is your shit bent?
- 1:10:15Straighten it. Drive around it.
- 1:10:16That's exactly my mentality the whole time when I was drifting
- 1:10:19like that was I was like, they're like, oh, well, if you
- 1:10:21did this, it would be because club loose is all about like
- 1:10:24making you a better driver. Yeah.
- 1:10:26So they'd always be like, oh, if you like did this, if you raised
- 1:10:30this, if you did that. And I'm like, yeah, I mean, I'm
- 1:10:32not going to raise it. So I guess we're just going to
- 1:10:35figure it out, you know what I mean?
- 1:10:37And then you do fight around it the whole time you're driving.
- 1:10:40Like I know in my head because. Because then you would like
- 1:10:42raise your car 1/4 inch and then feel so much better.
- 1:10:44So I always laugh at that because I think it's I think the
- 1:10:48animal style slammed car era made everyone a better driver
- 1:10:53because like we were pushing as hard as we could like against
- 1:10:57having these like very poorly, like sprung and like, you know,
- 1:11:02no suspension travel cars. And then once you do go to like
- 1:11:06that, I don't know, more suspension travel, a little like
- 1:11:11higher set up. You're like, oh, this drive's
- 1:11:13really good, and now I can really.
- 1:11:15Do, Yeah, yeah, that's, yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
- 1:11:18And Front St. was the same way. I mean, it really changed for
- 1:11:21them when they went to the Super D that time in 2017, that's when
- 1:11:23that's when everything changed for sure, because it it was like
- 1:11:27a little bit right before that. But after they came back,
- 1:11:30they're like, all right. And they just started like
- 1:11:31raising the cars up and like changing everything and.
- 1:11:34You're going to do the same exactly 260.
- 1:11:35Five. Yeah, he thinks I'm going to do
- 1:11:36the same thing, that. Was a big event, man.
- 1:11:38That was a big event for drifting.
- 1:11:39I think them doing that and having like Naoki come and like
- 1:11:43you say what you want, like yes, we talk about Naoki all the
- 1:11:46time. Like he is very good.
- 1:11:49Wait and. He did show up and absolutely
- 1:11:51walk all over everybody like like 10X.
- 1:11:55And it was like, OK, well, if you were there and you saw that,
- 1:11:58you'd understand why we're like, OK, like I, I went from like a 7
- 1:12:03out of 10 skill to like a three out of 10 skill.
- 1:12:06How do I get how do I get to like 7 out of 10 now you know?
- 1:12:10Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
- 1:12:12You were in Japan with me, right that year, 2024.
- 1:12:15So you were at B Hoku with everyone.
- 1:12:18Do you remember seeing Naoki fly?
- 1:12:20I remember the first lap, we were all standing there.
- 1:12:22He goes out and he flies down the street and shucks it.
- 1:12:25And I was like, yo. I remember you mentioning that
- 1:12:28like when you came back, because you are, you were skeptical too.
- 1:12:32You were one of the skepticists. Well, no, I mean I I I remember
- 1:12:34seeing him as super D and it was crazy.
- 1:12:36But like that track is different like.
- 1:12:38The well it's going and seeing him drive on something that he's
- 1:12:41comfortable. Yeah.
- 1:12:41And not only that, like if you go to, I say this, I talk about
- 1:12:45this all the time, man, blah, blah.
- 1:12:46Anyway, if you go and see that that shit in person, like, it
- 1:12:50will change you. I don't care who you are.
- 1:12:52Like, I was there with like, Derek Bianski.
- 1:12:54Yeah. And he's like, you know, like.
- 1:12:58I, I, I feel like I'm more like those guys.
- 1:13:00Yeah, and he was like. But yeah.
- 1:13:02You know, yeah. He's like, OK, like I, I, you
- 1:13:04know, yeah, yeah. It's pretty hard to deny it like
- 1:13:06when it's right in front. Of you.
- 1:13:07Oh, yeah. I mean, I, I can, I can see him
- 1:13:10in my head hitting that turn and it is one of the coolest things
- 1:13:14I've seen drifting like period in drifting it, it is, it is
- 1:13:18awesome. I just have like, I don't know,
- 1:13:21like I like that style, but I like another style too.
- 1:13:24So it's like 2 different things. You want to have your cake and
- 1:13:27eat it too? That's where I'm at.
- 1:13:28And now you told me no. You want to have your cake and
- 1:13:31eat it too. I kind of know that I'm not
- 1:13:32going to be able. To eat the cake, you you just
- 1:13:35gave up on it. Yeah, I like, I'd rather have
- 1:13:37this, the style that I like over the driving, I think, but we
- 1:13:43can't see anything. Yeah.
- 1:13:45You haven't driven in a while dude.
- 1:13:46Yeah, I haven't. Driven my own car in a while so
- 1:13:48it's like I don't want to say what I'm going to feel but.
- 1:13:51Yeah, things have changed a lot. Like even like come we came out
- 1:13:54for Blood Masters 2018 and Julian drove Jeff Stoneback's
- 1:13:59car and like everybody was a really good driver then.
- 1:14:03But like going to drift App and like seeing some of those guys
- 1:14:06like RIP their I'm like, oh shit, like all over the country,
- 1:14:11like people are just in the last like, I don't know, 2-3 years.
- 1:14:15Like the driving skill, the average driving skill has raised
- 1:14:20so quickly and I you. Think it's the SIM.
- 1:14:25I think it's the SIM. I think it's the SIM.
- 1:14:28I think it's like people are are finally like starting to just
- 1:14:31like stick to the formula. Like people are like running
- 1:14:34like bigger, stickier tires. Like people are figuring out
- 1:14:38like, you know, like people are starting to not run like a
- 1:14:41really slippery set up even on like lower power cars.
- 1:14:44And I think that's pushing driving, yeah.
- 1:14:46Crazy because you have two different types of people.
- 1:14:49You have the younger guys who definitely did the SIM, but then
- 1:14:52you have the older guys kind of like our friends and they're
- 1:14:56doing the same shit and they're doing Drift Appalachia and
- 1:14:58they're fucking killing it. I think they're like fuck them.
- 1:15:00Kids yeah, I honestly, yeah, I. Think that's impressive in its
- 1:15:03own? Because now that's like, that's
- 1:15:05an old dog learning a new trick. You know how hard that is to get
- 1:15:08through to somebody. Dude, like just what you said
- 1:15:11before, like the, the, the driving's getting elevated.
- 1:15:13That's exactly what I think of when I see Drift Appalachia.
- 1:15:16I'm like, OK, it's insane now. Now it's at a different level
- 1:15:20because if these guys are just going to this mountain and
- 1:15:23probably, let's be honest, probably 9080 to 90% of them
- 1:15:26have never even drifted on a mountain and they're doing that
- 1:15:29shit. It's like, that's pretty
- 1:15:31impressive. This podcast is sponsored by AG
- 1:15:33One Guys. Spring is finally here.
- 1:15:35Snow is melting, flowers are blooming, spring cleaning is in
- 1:15:38full effect, and the race tracks are prepping for a busy 2026
- 1:15:41season. There's no better time than now
- 1:15:43to take control of your health. One habit I'm recommending to
- 1:15:45everyone this season is AG1AG1 is the clinically backed daily
- 1:15:49health drink that combines A multivitamin, pre and
- 1:15:51probiotics, super foods and antioxidants into one
- 1:15:55deliciously simple scoop. I've been taking AG1 for a few
- 1:15:57months now and notice improvements almost instantly.
- 1:16:00My gut health has never been better, and it's the easiest
- 1:16:02part of my morning routine. Just one scoop with eight to 12
- 1:16:05ounces of cold water is all it takes to keep you on the right
- 1:16:07path to improving your health. It also replaces the need for a
- 1:16:10multivitamin, which helps keep my morning routine super simple.
- 1:16:14Go to shop.drinkag1.com/faction to receive a free AG1 flavor
- 1:16:20sampler plus a bottle of Vitamin D3 and K2 with your AG 1 Welcome
- 1:16:24Kit when you first subscribe. Link is also available in the

- 1:16:29your own this season. Ditch your current supplement
- 1:16:31regiment and stick to just one AG one.
- 1:16:34We are super excited to be working with Rect Magazine.
- 1:16:38RECT has been capturing the best moments in drifting since the
- 1:16:40mid 2000s. After a long hiatus, they have
- 1:16:43recently been brought back from the dead with the best people in
- 1:16:46the industry leading the charge. The first couple issues have
- 1:16:49been nothing but amazing and after speaking with these guys I
- 1:16:51can tell you it's only going to get better.
- 1:16:53Now I won't lie, a print magazine being brought back to
- 1:16:56life in 2026 is pretty risky move.
- 1:16:59It's a dying industry with video content and social media
- 1:17:02flooding the market. But nothing beats the nostalgic
- 1:17:04feeling of print. It's always been the best way to
- 1:17:06get a glimpse into the automotive scene that you're
- 1:17:08interested in. Automotive magazines were the
- 1:17:10reason some of us even got into cars.
- 1:17:12To this day I still have all my magazines from high school and
- 1:17:15it's so cool to be able to go back to see how the culture was
- 1:17:18during that specific time. And to have AUS based magazine
- 1:17:21that's just focused on drifting is unreal.
- 1:17:23They have tons of information in the first two issues that I've
- 1:17:26been reading through. Everything from event coverage,
- 1:17:28specific vehicle articles, driver profiles, shop tours,
- 1:17:32much more. Even the ads are cool.
- 1:17:35For more info or if you are looking to subscribe, head on
- 1:17:37over to wreckmagazine.com. They got a bunch of other cool
- 1:17:40stuff on there as well. We are in the middle of trying
- 1:17:43to get some of these to sell here at the shop, so hopefully
- 1:17:45in the next few months we have them here to at least check out
- 1:17:47or if you want to purchase them. I mean, I think the first people
- 1:17:52didn't know how to like set their cars up for it and like
- 1:17:54what the line was and stuff. And now they're learning it and
- 1:17:56they're doing it like really well and it's super impressive.
- 1:17:59I haven't been that scared driving in a very long time.
- 1:18:04Like the night session was like one of the most scared moments
- 1:18:08I've had. I can only imagine, dude,
- 1:18:11because now I don't know, I'm a person where I think, where the
- 1:18:15cup is half empty, you know what I mean?
- 1:18:18Where I'm like if I'm drifting and I'm there, I know that some
- 1:18:23of the drop offs, it was in West Virginia or was it in Kentucky
- 1:18:26from West Virginia, West Virginia, there's there's rain
- 1:18:29gutters, there's drop offs. It's a fucking little guardrail
- 1:18:34that's blocking you. It's meant it's meant to stop a
- 1:18:36car, but. Yeah.
- 1:18:39As I I don't want it to as I was.
- 1:18:40Throwing it as I was converting my car to Hellcat.
- 1:18:43Like Reese's car goes by on the on the like flatbed, like
- 1:18:49rolled. Oh, not great for your man.
- 1:18:51I'm like, oh shit, you. Know not great for the mental,
- 1:18:56right? I'm like, OK, maybe maybe this,
- 1:19:00maybe it's good in my field. And I'm like, Nah, I got to keep
- 1:19:02driving. I didn't, I didn't do what I
- 1:19:04came to do, you know, I'm. So glad you went back out there
- 1:19:07because now you get to tell us about it like that.
- 1:19:10That was a hurdle that you overcame.
- 1:19:13The night shit was sick too, like none of the RTR cars came
- 1:19:16because they were like no trucks and trailers.
- 1:19:20We're all driving from the hotel like no spares, no tools, like
- 1:19:25we're hitting this like a street.
- 1:19:26Session it was. I was like, no.
- 1:19:28Way I'm fucking. Sick.
- 1:19:30I've never been so like hyped up by a drivers meeting in my life,
- 1:19:35dude, because they're like fuck this, it's going to be sick.
- 1:19:38And if you're too scared, stay the fuck home.
- 1:19:41Like we're going to go do this shit and it's going to be sick
- 1:19:43and we're going to and we're going to throw down like.
- 1:19:46And I was just like, yeah. Man.
- 1:19:48Like. That's us we're gonna do.
- 1:19:50He and coach like. That's crazy.
- 1:19:54That shit would have me. I'd be in the back of drivers
- 1:19:55meeting like, yeah, I'm gonna sit this one out.
- 1:19:57Dude. And then no, I would.
- 1:20:00That's me when we're already there and it's too late.
- 1:20:02But guess what you signed? Up.
- 1:20:03No, You're going. Yeah, I know you.
- 1:20:05You're. Doing I would be fucking.
- 1:20:07Carl be flipping off the mountain.
- 1:20:08Last minute, yeah. Only because last minute I
- 1:20:11decided to think in my head like maybe I shouldn't do this.
- 1:20:14And then literally it's like, go, that's what you fuck.
- 1:20:17Dude do you have like do they give you an option to like just
- 1:20:21do a run by yourself or is that like not allowed?
- 1:20:23Well, kind of like you can give space, OK.
- 1:20:27Yeah. Like but like by yourself and
- 1:20:31you do like most, OK, at the night session you didn't know
- 1:20:33who's behind you because your mirrors are flipped up.
- 1:20:36So I didn't know Josh was behind me for like 6 or 7 like up and
- 1:20:40downs. Dude, that's crazy.
- 1:20:42Like so did, did you have someone in front of you?
- 1:20:44Like directly in front of you? Yeah, OK.
- 1:20:46I mean, I was like, if I'm going to do this, I'm, I'm going to
- 1:20:49try to adore whoever's in front of me, yeah.
- 1:20:51Fuck, dude. I'm like panicking right now
- 1:20:53knowing that I might have to do this one day like and I don't
- 1:20:55even have my cars on a rotisserie.
- 1:20:57I saw it. You got you got some time.
- 1:20:59Too. And I'm like already nervous.
- 1:21:01Like, I can't imagine what it's going to feel like being on that
- 1:21:03road. And you're like, fuck.
- 1:21:05I think once you and once you like kind of conquer the fear
- 1:21:11and like I feel like you'll be fine because you know the right
- 1:21:14line for that type of driving. That's more of my style of
- 1:21:18driving, yeah. Yeah, like I, I think you'll be
- 1:21:20all right. I think you'll be all right.
- 1:21:22Yeah. And like I remember because they
- 1:21:25brought some, like they brought some of my peoples out there.
- 1:21:27They brought Josh out there with a low car.
- 1:21:29They brought, didn't Sima go out there or they brought Derek?
- 1:21:34Yeah. He helps run it.
- 1:21:36OK. So I'm like, OK, so there's some
- 1:21:38like lower cars that are going out there.
- 1:21:41Josh apparently went out and like did very well and like a
- 1:21:44lot of the like kind of more pro am pro spec guys were like,
- 1:21:50what's your setup? And he's like, oh, mom, like all
- 1:21:52seasons in this car makes like 200 horsepower.
- 1:21:55And they're just. Like dude, he's my favorite
- 1:21:56person like. I actually called Josh like 3
- 1:22:01days before and I was like, I heard you were ripping the first
- 1:22:03one. Like, well, give me the cheat
- 1:22:05codes. Like what do I do?
- 1:22:06And he's just like, yeah, like don't you know, don't run it too
- 1:22:09grippy, like run the racing line.
- 1:22:10Like, you know, you know what to do.
- 1:22:11Yeah. He's like, I'm so happy.
- 1:22:13Talking about proceed, Josh. Yeah.
- 1:22:15Dude, when he went to that, that shocked me because I was like,
- 1:22:18this is a car that's kind of more in our wheelhouse that I
- 1:22:22like a lot. Yeah, did you see?
- 1:22:25To like the next day, he posted. Like who could do a cage for me?
- 1:22:30Oh yeah, because. He wants to go back that bad.
- 1:22:33He's like I will Cage. He should cage.
- 1:22:35Yeah, I did. See him post something about
- 1:22:37that. Also I liked Josh literally was
- 1:22:41doing the normal angle that he does for all of his little
- 1:22:43clips. He like shoves the phone in the
- 1:22:46the split of the bucket seats and I was like this fucking.
- 1:22:50Bro that guy's the coolest dude in drifting and I don't think
- 1:22:52it'll ever change. I miss him dearly like I.
- 1:22:54Don't know what it. Is we should go see him?
- 1:22:55His heart's still in the fucking streets.
- 1:22:57Man, that's literally what it is dude.
- 1:22:58I I watched that video I'm KA swapping KA swapping my first S
- 1:23:0613 in like 2000 and it was 2009 or 2010.
- 1:23:11Okay, like crooked hat. Yeah, I was at my friends shop
- 1:23:15and he's like have you seen fucking risky devil?
- 1:23:17And I'm like what the fuck is that?
- 1:23:19And he put it on. I was like we're going St. in
- 1:23:21tonight dude. I.
- 1:23:23Wish I saw that, that's what. We watched.
- 1:23:25That should inspired all of us. That would have crumpled my my
- 1:23:30so malleable brain at that time. I'm glad.
- 1:23:33I'm glad, but I wish somebody showed it to me that.
- 1:23:35Literally was what caused everything. 100% it was those
- 1:23:39guys I didn't. Know anything dude?
- 1:23:41Yeah, like we knew drifting, we had club lose and this shit, but
- 1:23:45seeing that because I was way more into that, yeah.
- 1:23:48I was like. Same.
- 1:23:50I was like, I like the track and everything, but seeing them do
- 1:23:52that, I was like, yo this is sick.
- 1:23:54And like, we would go out and I would just get way more like, I
- 1:23:59don't know, it's nervousness, obviously, but it's just it's
- 1:24:03more fun. I don't know.
- 1:24:04I, I would watch option video with my friend.
- 1:24:09I would like, I'd be into it and like it was exciting and I was
- 1:24:13like, I like drifting. I, I'd go to like, I think it
- 1:24:15was like the first year Sonoma drift and just like take
- 1:24:18pictures or whatever. And I, that video like flipped a
- 1:24:23switch in my brain. I was like.
- 1:24:25Oh, this is like. Skateboarding Drift.
- 1:24:28Yeah. This is like, like cool music,
- 1:24:31like fucking like, like the shit I listened to.
- 1:24:34I was like, this is, I'm like, they're driving on the street
- 1:24:37with racing gloves. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:24:39And then later jobs, like, Oh yeah, I just do that 'cause my
- 1:24:41hands get really sweaty. I was like, I thought that was,
- 1:24:44it was like the coolest thing ever.
- 1:24:45And he's like, Oh, yeah, yeah. I just, they make fun of me
- 1:24:47because I do it, but like, I just get clammy.
- 1:24:49Dude. Job.
- 1:24:50Was another one. This was the.
- 1:24:52Coolest people ever. I thought Job was pretty scary
- 1:24:54too. And then you meet him and then
- 1:24:55he's like the fucking teddiest teddy bear ever.
- 1:24:58Yeah, dude, I just so many things with Josh.
- 1:25:01Like I remember we did well. I met him final about 1 I think,
- 1:25:05and then final about two. We drove and I really met him
- 1:25:08and I was like, this feels insane to me because like I, I,
- 1:25:12I felt like I was meeting one of my idols, but I didn't really
- 1:25:14know that he was my idol until I was meeting him.
- 1:25:17And I was like, I don't know how to explain it.
- 1:25:19It was weird. It was like you were meeting a
- 1:25:20celebrity. It was so weird.
- 1:25:22I was. Like of a celebrity, if you
- 1:25:23think, yeah, I was like, you're recognized by thousands of
- 1:25:26people. You know what it is, I watched
- 1:25:27this YouTube of you, YouTube video of you and it changed my
- 1:25:31life. Literally, yeah.
- 1:25:32And I know I'm not the only one as I.
- 1:25:33Felt so weird when we did the podcast with him and I was like,
- 1:25:36we did the podcast. I didn't know him like that.
- 1:25:38Yeah, I just got to meet him as like a normal, as like a person,
- 1:25:41which I like. Now he's just a dad.
- 1:25:44He's a guy who cares a lot about his family and and handles that
- 1:25:49first and does care about drifting still and like that is
- 1:25:55the guy. But like, so we get to know him
- 1:25:58whatever years go by, whatever we do a podcast, I'm like, yeah,
- 1:26:01whatever. So it's it's like dwindling down
- 1:26:03by like putting him on a pedestal.
- 1:26:04It's dwindling down and then like I'm on Facebook one day or
- 1:26:07something, I think it was Facebook and he just shares a
- 1:26:09video and I'm like, oh, what is this?
- 1:26:10And I, I watch it and it's them drifting in a parking lot and
- 1:26:15it's like 3 of them or whatever. And they're like lined up on a
- 1:26:17curb and they go out and they do a little session and then they
- 1:26:20park and he does a little session and he, I was like,
- 1:26:24damn. I mean, yeah, Josh, he's fucking
- 1:26:26going first gear. You know the shit he does
- 1:26:28drifting in first gear and shit and then like goes around, comes
- 1:26:31to the curb where they're all parked, fucking flies at it like
- 1:26:35this does a fucking like perfect 180 lines up right on the curb
- 1:26:40and I'm like, this guy is never going to stop being the coolest
- 1:26:43mother fucker I've ever known. Like straight up, literally like
- 1:26:46a fucking movie just flies up, goes right there, goes right
- 1:26:51next to the curb. It's an inside clip, hits it
- 1:26:55again, parks it, turns it off, gets out.
- 1:26:57I'm like, this is the most gangster shit I've ever seen and
- 1:26:59like he's fucking. I don't know, dude, it was just
- 1:27:02crazy. I.
- 1:27:03Love his car styling too, he just does such a good job.
- 1:27:05Every time, yeah. And he changes it.
- 1:27:07I'm like, yo, don't change it, don't change it.
- 1:27:08And then he'll change it. And I'm like this is better than
- 1:27:10the last one. And I liked when he was.
- 1:27:11I loved when he was Kay Power. When we went, yeah.
- 1:27:14That was it was just like, damn, what is this?
- 1:27:17Day that win he had on there dude.
- 1:27:20Shit was sick. The Ferrari 1, The Ferrari one,
- 1:27:23yeah, that was cool. Bro I was like.
- 1:27:24Little things like that, that's that's.
- 1:27:26All about he's all about the little things and the execution
- 1:27:29like that's, that's all, all those guys are proceed all of
- 1:27:32them like. Well, so are you guys as cars.
- 1:27:35I like that you. Haven't seen our cars up close.
- 1:27:37No, but yeah. But lately the next, the last
- 1:27:39like 4 years, 3-4 years, you guys have been.
- 1:27:42They're just character full. That's what I like about them.
- 1:27:45Like that's what I like about all the cars and you guys as
- 1:27:47people like they're it's a character full experience
- 1:27:51watching you guys drive and do what you guys do.
- 1:27:54Like it's, it's sick. Yeah, we're talking about
- 1:27:56proceeding shit, but like, animal style is almost just as
- 1:27:59big as an inspiration for us. Dude, the parking lot video are
- 1:28:03you shitting me? Especially we always say like
- 1:28:05second wave Drifters, 3rd wave Drifters.
- 1:28:07He would be like the third wave. Chris showed me that video, the
- 1:28:10parking lot video where you guys DAP up.
- 1:28:13Yeah. Yeah, yeah, Spin.
- 1:28:14Around and then it's just parking lot shit cars are
- 1:28:16dumped. Yeah.
- 1:28:18They're. Like curb hitting, slow MO,
- 1:28:20flames coming, coming out. I don't even know where I got.
- 1:28:22That fireball clip on. Like, oh, really?
- 1:28:24Yeah, Yeah. That was on my iPhone in slow
- 1:28:25MO. That was like, because I
- 1:28:27discovered drifting later and like I like cars but no drift.
- 1:28:32And then I found out what drifting was and I was like
- 1:28:34this. Is fucking cool shit.
- 1:28:35Yeah, and then YouTube was like kind of bustling with the
- 1:28:41drifting stuff. And then when you if you typed
- 1:28:43in drifting dude, that animal style video used to be.
- 1:28:47Like. Right up near the top.
- 1:28:49So that was like the first thing you'd see.
- 1:28:50Chris showed it to me. I was like damn.
- 1:28:53I knew that video got big because I would have friends
- 1:28:57that like knew that I liked drifting that had nothing to do
- 1:29:00with drifting. And they're like, oh, I saw this
- 1:29:01on theCHIVE and I'm like. The child holy.
- 1:29:06Like I thought you'd like it. And I'm like, oh, I was there.
- 1:29:10And you're like, oh, I filmed some.
- 1:29:11Of it I was there bro. Dude, that was such a like
- 1:29:15probably such a small little video for you guys now compared
- 1:29:18to what you're doing. But waves came from that.
- 1:29:21I mean, that's what. Happens when you have fucking,
- 1:29:23will Rogue do anything like he, this guy's like making
- 1:29:28commercials and like it's the same guy that did, I mean, he
- 1:29:32didn't do Gymkhana, but he's like director of photography for
- 1:29:35Gymkhana. I mean, you guys got all the
- 1:29:37guys over there. It's fucking Hollywood is right
- 1:29:39there. You guys got all the media dudes
- 1:29:41and even our media dudes, you got them.
- 1:29:42Now. Yeah, they left us and they went
- 1:29:45over there. Sebastian, Mike.
- 1:29:46Hey. Yeah, they all went over there,
- 1:29:47damn it. It's like it's.
- 1:29:49Sick dude. That's it's just awesome.
- 1:29:51I I love that video. I loved when when they were on
- 1:29:54PS Deuce. That was my favorite.
- 1:29:56That was my favorite time. When the cars were like with
- 1:29:59just white stickers and like all.
- 1:30:01Red. I know what you're talking
- 1:30:02about, but I think I liked it more when it was painted the red
- 1:30:07I I just I think it was. Red with the.
- 1:30:09Red with white vinyl. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:30:12yes, yeah. I remember Julian's car.
- 1:30:15I was like this. This might be my favorite
- 1:30:17iteration of this car. I think something about that PS2
- 1:30:20I. Don't know what I I'm so curious
- 1:30:22as to like why they both got PS2's.
- 1:30:24I think it was like. Must have been something.
- 1:30:26Somebody had like a connect there and got them or something,
- 1:30:30I don't know, but like that was cool.
- 1:30:32It's a shame that company isn't. Yeah, that company's not around
- 1:30:35it. They made.
- 1:30:35Cool arrow. That arrow fits.
- 1:30:37So good. Like literally that was like.
- 1:30:41That was the cheap, perfect fitting arrow like that was it?
- 1:30:45Is it AJ's Carpia? Yes dude AJ's we were buying it
- 1:30:48for a while like we were like oh let's just keep getting this
- 1:30:50shit cuz it fits well. So we would just try to sell it
- 1:30:52to people like, yo, you should get this.
- 1:30:54And then no one bought it. Yeah, not a lot of people did.
- 1:30:57Like I want XYZ. I want BN.
- 1:30:59I want BN sports. Origin type 2 hood really bad.
- 1:31:04Like. Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:31:06But I don't know origins. I mean, doesn't fit the best,
- 1:31:10let's just put it that way. Yeah, and you can get it at
- 1:31:13Faction. You can get it here.
- 1:31:14We have it in stock, but you're going to have to do some some.
- 1:31:17Similar on your car. I don't know a lot about E36,
- 1:31:20but I like looking at yours because probably I just I said
- 1:31:22earlier it doesn't even look like a 36 so.
- 1:31:27I had, I had stock arrow forever.
- 1:31:30I just had like the BMW like M stuff with like the wide
- 1:31:33offenders and it was on the ground like we're talking and I
- 1:31:38had like 2153518 tires up front to like clear.
- 1:31:44Oh damn, that's what's on the fucking Cressida because of the
- 1:31:46same problem that's. Like rubber band time, I.
- 1:31:48Hate that shit. It was dumb and drove so bad,
- 1:31:50but like, you know, And so like I did that for a minute and then
- 1:31:54I'm like, OK, well, I kind of want to redo the car.
- 1:31:57Do do D magic was going to do livery for me and I'm like,
- 1:32:01let's do something spicy, right? And the only I'd only seen two.
- 1:32:06One was like the demo car that Bomax did in like the 90s, which
- 1:32:11was awful. Like it is like.
- 1:32:13Can we bring that up, Malcolm? I'm sorry, I know the TV is not
- 1:32:15really. You could just look up like E36
- 1:32:18Bomax or whatever. Yeah, it's white.
- 1:32:21And it has like, just like goofy, like 90s stickers on the
- 1:32:25doors. Yeah, that's, that's the one.
- 1:32:27It's. A.
- 1:32:29Remote. I don't know where is the
- 1:32:30remote. Right there.
- 1:32:31And it's not been on. No, he had.
- 1:32:33He didn't. It's been doing this.
- 1:32:34I like that. Have you been refreshing pulling
- 1:32:36stuff up this whole time? No, no, no.
- 1:32:38No, no, he's just asleep. He's falling asleep.
- 1:32:41He's like, it's fucking late man.
- 1:32:43Again, this is. Malcolm's worst nightmare is
- 1:32:47when he gets to enjoy. It's all for mad luck.
- 1:32:50So that's actually like me pulling up to final belt when we
- 1:32:55finished it with the D magic livery.
- 1:32:58So we're looking for. Someone posting on some weird
- 1:33:00forum like where do I get this? That's awesome.
- 1:33:04That's so fucking funny, actually.
- 1:33:06Oh, is that on the bottom left? Is that this?
- 1:33:09And so the the it's actually the white one go up, up, up, up, up
- 1:33:12right there. See, right.
- 1:33:14No, that's that's. That's one.
- 1:33:16That's item B. OK.
- 1:33:18AVB. No, go go.
- 1:33:20One more that that guy or the one to the right?
- 1:33:23I don't know dude, that car looks kind of sick.
- 1:33:25I mean, it's alright. It looks so different when it
- 1:33:30just square like that down the side.
- 1:33:33I love the logo. The giant Bomas logo on the
- 1:33:35hood. Yeah, I mean, it's not bad.
- 1:33:36It's just really 90s. And I like they had it in all
- 1:33:39the posts for like the weird companies that had clones of it.
- 1:33:45And the there was a there's like a grocery store near my job
- 1:33:49where someone had a vert E36. There was like bone stock, like
- 1:33:53stock right height on stock wheels with a like flat black
- 1:33:57Bonex kit on it. And I was like, that looks so
- 1:34:01fucking bad. Like I don't know if I could
- 1:34:03pull it off but. I mean, it's a crazy.
- 1:34:06Kid find what the fuck? Yeah, I'm like I, I for a while,
- 1:34:10like extreme dimensions and like Duraflex, like had a replica
- 1:34:16Bomax kit and so like the one that I bought was from them and
- 1:34:22like the pictures of it were so bad, like no one bought it.
- 1:34:25So it was the last one they had and then they discontinued it.
- 1:34:28I think I got it for like 300 bucks or something.
- 1:34:31This is the. Same 1 you have right now.
- 1:34:33It's the same like looking kit. Yeah, but it's not the same
- 1:34:35exact. No, no, I've been through a few
- 1:34:37of them. And I was going to say Frankie.
- 1:34:39I was. Like so who makes it now?
- 1:34:43It's kind of hard to say. Like BOMAX USA came back and.
- 1:34:48There was, I remember that. That whole weird thing, dude, I
- 1:34:51got one free bumper and like 1000 DMS of where's my shit?
- 1:34:56And I'm like, this is not worth it.
- 1:34:58Like I don't I don't know the guy.
- 1:35:01He just like was like some dude in LA who's like, yeah, here's a
- 1:35:03bumper like you're he came to final bout and was like, oh,
- 1:35:07you're running. Can I get the side skirts?
- 1:35:09Because I'm going to like make this whole kit.
- 1:35:10And I was like. And he's like, I'm Bomax, I got
- 1:35:14the OK to do it or something. And then I was like.
- 1:35:16So the story behind it goes and this is like from a couple
- 1:35:20different people at this point. This dude named Masa who was a
- 1:35:23part of BOMAX Japan came over to build and that I don't know if
- 1:35:27this is true. This is all like.
- 1:35:28Hearsay. Yeah, came over to build all the
- 1:35:31cars for the original Fast and Furious, like the Supra and all
- 1:35:33that stuff, and apparently he got paid out like royalties for
- 1:35:39every time that car got sold as like a die cast or whatever.
- 1:35:44And so he was living good. That's insane.
- 1:35:46This is some fucking Fast Furious California lore right
- 1:35:49now. Yeah, I did not know any of
- 1:35:50this. Good for him though.
- 1:35:52Yeah, the Japanese dude, like, and so he just stayed in LA,
- 1:35:55right? And apparently this guy went to
- 1:35:58go buy a Bom X lip on Craigslist and showed up and it was this
- 1:36:02dude Masa, the guy who like did all the stuff.
- 1:36:05The other guy's name, I can't remember his name, but it was
- 1:36:07like he was like a Latino dude who had like an S chassis.
- 1:36:12And so he was like, Oh well, I can help you sell these.
- 1:36:17Here it goes. And like, you know, this is just
- 1:36:20shit unfolds. And I, I literally talked to the
- 1:36:23guy. I was like, hey, man, like I'm
- 1:36:25getting all these messages, what's up with these kids and
- 1:36:27like wings and stuff. And he's like, Oh well, I, I
- 1:36:32haven't like gotten one to make a mold from yet.
- 1:36:35And I'm like. Buddy.
- 1:36:37I'm like you're, I was like, hey, bro, like you're selling
- 1:36:40kits, you're selling things. You haven't even been able to
- 1:36:43find this. Is copy.
- 1:36:44Yet it's very common in the automotive industry.
- 1:36:47And I'm like, geez, and and and I think and like Masa is like, I
- 1:36:51think just a dude who really likes doing fiberglass is what I
- 1:36:56was told. I don't know.
- 1:36:57So it's like a whole thing. But I, I recently heard that
- 1:36:59someone just bought like the name Bomax and all the molds.
- 1:37:03Oh OK in LA And I think he's a reputable dude, but I but do not
- 1:37:09buy anything yet. Like don't take that for me.
- 1:37:12Yeah, I remember talking to that guy, by the way.
- 1:37:13The other guy. Yeah, I remember talking to him
- 1:37:15at one point, but I don't know what.
- 1:37:17Maybe we were talking about mirrors.
- 1:37:18I don't know what you're talking about.
- 1:37:19Because they're making all kinds of shit that people were getting
- 1:37:22some stuff. It was really slow.
- 1:37:24He was like, yeah, we're legit. Like this is it?
- 1:37:26I was like, are you guys actually Bonex?
- 1:37:27And he's like, well, I got like the OK and this and that.
- 1:37:29I was like, OK. The next day after I talk, he's
- 1:37:32like, Oh yeah man, like I'm going to like tell people like
- 1:37:35it's going to be like 6 months from now on, like you're right,
- 1:37:39blah blah blah. And the very next day on
- 1:37:40Instagram, he's like big sale. Like get your orders in now.
- 1:37:44Because the prices. Are going up and I was just
- 1:37:46like, OK, I need to like distance myself from this
- 1:37:49situation. I actually almost, I was talking
- 1:37:52to Masa and I almost became like he wanted like a bunch of money
- 1:37:58to essentially have rights to sell the E36 Bomax kit and have
- 1:38:04him produce it. But it was like a lot of money.
- 1:38:06And I just, I don't know. I knew as soon as I did that
- 1:38:10someone's just going to buy it and like make a copy.
- 1:38:12And then I'm like out all that cash and it's just not.
- 1:38:16Your edge is gone. But you do talk to that guy.
- 1:38:18That guy's pretty legit, so. Yeah.
- 1:38:21And then, yeah, now I'm a dealer for like the Tatsi E36 front
- 1:38:27bumpers, which are pretty sick. So like that is that is like
- 1:38:30another. But they're making them in
- 1:38:32Poland and they're making them really slowly and everybody
- 1:38:34really wants them. I.
- 1:38:35Mean dude, this. This is how it was with Dave's
- 1:38:37kit too. It's like the same thing.
- 1:38:39Body kits are not. Easy to do.
- 1:38:40It's very, very hard to make a body kit.
- 1:38:43And people think that when you envision it.
- 1:38:45And then if one gets made, it's like, Oh yeah, now we can just
- 1:38:48start cranking them out. Yeah, it's really hard to do.
- 1:38:52I had this dude e-mail. I tell me he's like my son.
- 1:38:54I'm like, he's like, I'm like, oh, you're in the next batch.
- 1:38:58I've got. I've only gotten four of them so
- 1:38:59far. Like when I get more, you're in
- 1:39:01the next 4. And he's like, oh, my son's very
- 1:39:04disappointed. He wants to be the first one in
- 1:39:06Arizona with it. And I'm like, well, there's only
- 1:39:08four and they're not in Arizona, so he might still be.
- 1:39:12I don't even have one yet. Like, I don't know people.
- 1:39:16So is that a Rep from Bumper or is that the one you're talking
- 1:39:18about? No, it's like a new design by
- 1:39:21this dude Max. He was like a 3D designer and he
- 1:39:24worked with like, he's like, he's like trying to produce like
- 1:39:28really wild, like BMW arrow. Oh, do I think I know the one
- 1:39:32you're talking about. Can we pull that up, Malcolm?
- 1:39:35It's on Instagram. Was it a white car and the ad
- 1:39:37and like. What's the name of it?
- 1:39:40A totsy. Good luck now, yeah?
- 1:39:42Let's see how Malcolm spells it. Oh wait, he's over here.
- 1:39:45Using him like he's a fucking. Chase Oh, that is literally it,
- 1:39:48I think. Look at this, Frankie.
- 1:39:51It looks good. It looks sick.
- 1:39:53I saw this on a random. I mean, dude, that car looks
- 1:39:56good. That chassis is a good looking
- 1:39:58car, you know what I mean? So like, I I can see, I can see
- 1:40:01how this could happen. Like lookout.
- 1:40:03Yeah. I mean, dude, it looks like a
- 1:40:04fucking GTR. Yeah.
- 1:40:05That thing looks awesome. It's very GTR so like that you
- 1:40:09can get those on good asco.com. So get them from only good as
- 1:40:12Co. Is there a size skirts and rear
- 1:40:13bumper or no? No, not yet.
- 1:40:14But he's like, I, I can't say too much.
- 1:40:17I want to make sure, like, you know, everybody gets the stuff
- 1:40:21that they ordered. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:40:23So you're actually selling these on your website.
- 1:40:25That's cool. Yeah, I'm, I'm just trying to be
- 1:40:27like you, dude. Yeah, that's cool.
- 1:40:30You might. You might not want to be, but
- 1:40:32we'll see how I'm. Starting to learn.
- 1:40:33I'm starting to learn that, yeah.
- 1:40:35Show them the balance sheet. Dude that bumper is sick though.
- 1:40:38It's reminding me of that. Who's that dude with the silver
- 1:40:41R34 that drifts? Rodney.
- 1:40:45Maybe. Some auto real dream.
- 1:40:47Yeah, I think it's a 4 door. Yeah, it's Rodney.
- 1:40:49Yeah, I think. Yeah, it's reminding me of.
- 1:40:51That one. Yeah, it is Kat, isn't it?
- 1:40:54That's pretty. Rodney Rips.

- 1:41:04maybe he's cool, Maybe he. Seems pretty cool.
- 1:41:06Rodney's. Rodney's like, duh.
- 1:41:08That car is awesome too. I don't know if that's the one
- 1:41:10I'm thinking of. I might be thinking of another
- 1:41:11one, but I know the car you're talking about.
- 1:41:14He's on. He's got a a yours.
- 1:41:17You're awesome. Yeah, so it might not be the one
- 1:41:19I'm thinking of. I'm thinking of the there was a
- 1:41:21dude. Oh, it's white.
- 1:41:22It's a white car. It's a white R3442 door, maybe 2
- 1:41:24door or 4 door. Is it like the crock house dudes
- 1:41:27or is it? Canada.
- 1:41:29Oh. I don't know his name.
- 1:41:30I don't know his name. He's friends with Damon.
- 1:41:33Crock house, dude. His Instagram.
- 1:41:36Like a white Skyline R34 final belt, he's.
- 1:41:39That dude is so cool I don't know what he has.
- 1:41:42Like he's aura maxing as the kids say.
- 1:41:45Yeah, of course. Is that the yours kit too?
- 1:41:47OK. Liam.
- 1:41:49Liam Yeah, yeah, yeah. That car is so.
- 1:41:51Good. Yeah, it is.
- 1:41:54Doesn't he have What's his feces cartoon?
- 1:41:56It's a Tokyo auto salon car. And then he like did his own
- 1:42:01taste, moves to it and it's just like it does not get cooler.
- 1:42:05I I. Remember seeing that final bout
- 1:42:07and I was like damn I don't know if I would drift that shit.
- 1:42:09It just it when when you see cool cars like that you have to.
- 1:42:12I end up questioning myself if I'm like do I is anything I own
- 1:42:16even cool? Like this shit looks way cooler
- 1:42:18than anything I can ever make. Yeah, but this is like, like he
- 1:42:21said he got it from Japan, like somewhat like that, but he added
- 1:42:25his own. Yeah.
- 1:42:26Yeah. You could tell when a car comes
- 1:42:28from Japan, dude. Yeah.
- 1:42:30What do you look at first? I nothing specific it just
- 1:42:33usually when I just see the car I'm like oh that looks like it
- 1:42:36was probably imported like that or something.
- 1:42:37Yeah, they just have like a weird energy.
- 1:42:39They have an aura. Literally, yeah.
- 1:42:40Yeah, yeah. But The thing is, it's.
- 1:42:42Like some dude smoked a bunch of cigarettes and put this
- 1:42:44together. Yes, but the problem is it's the
- 1:42:45same exact aura as all the proceed cars, so you don't
- 1:42:49really. Now we're getting to a weird.
- 1:42:50I feel like the. Proceed.
- 1:42:51Cars are too nice. I don't know.
- 1:42:53That's not a dig on Japan like. Yeah.
- 1:42:56Oh, I know. What?
- 1:42:56You OK? I know what you mean.
- 1:42:57Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:42:58And you're right. You're talking about like the
- 1:43:00amount of zip ties and tape and bondo and.
- 1:43:02Yeah, well, just the sketches. Well, Bondo.
- 1:43:04Yeah, but the I feel like the American cars, the the American
- 1:43:09Drifters that like emulate that, nail it even better because they
- 1:43:15think those cars are nice. Yeah.
- 1:43:18Concept never meet your hero shit exactly so they.
- 1:43:21Really, like they really build nice cars, but if you go and met
- 1:43:26your hero's cars, those things are fucking pieces of shit, you
- 1:43:29know usually. So like, yeah, we were over
- 1:43:33there. And like Semi Tanaka still has
- 1:43:36that like iconic S13. Let's look that up because I
- 1:43:39don't even know I'm I'm so bad. That's the profile where I
- 1:43:41showed you the JZX that rotates fast as fuck and then.
- 1:43:47Did he nail that? It's an A, not an I.
- 1:43:50It's an A. Yeah, the white.
- 1:43:52White back, back. This one on the top right, top
- 1:43:57right. Yeah, but that's like a.
- 1:44:00The D Max, yeah. We were over there and someone
- 1:44:02rode in that car. It's like it's still.
- 1:44:04Like that? It doesn't look like that
- 1:44:06anymore. I don't know if he brought it
- 1:44:08back, but the time that we were there, this is like five years
- 1:44:10ago, OK, But he's like the subframe was like rattling
- 1:44:13around going down the street at Mayhawk and stuff like.
- 1:44:16Well, that's like, see that reminds me of like Josh's
- 1:44:18current car. Josh Elise.
- 1:44:20Yeah cuz that car is fucking used like.
- 1:44:24The pink one, yeah. Currently, but when you see it,
- 1:44:27like if you go to the New York Auto Show this weekend, you will
- 1:44:29see Josh's car there and you're going to see it.
- 1:44:31You're going to be like, that's a fucking drift car, dude.
- 1:44:34Yeah, like that is a drift car. With dude a drift app as we're
- 1:44:37leaving the like downtown car show thing, fucking Vongan
- 1:44:41Junior starts ripping a shitty like in the street.
- 1:44:44And then of course, like Josh and Chris Ward just like light
- 1:44:48him up. And I just watched the back of
- 1:44:50Josh's car just like shaking around.
- 1:44:52And I'm just like, Oh my God, I've been, I've been like trying
- 1:44:55to door this car for like the last three or two events.
- 1:44:58And you just found out that there's no car back there?
- 1:45:00Yeah. It's just dude, it was like the
- 1:45:03whole trunks twerking and like. Like dude, we have a bad
- 1:45:06history. I tried to do or Josh tried to
- 1:45:09do a burnout when we were at the last drift app and or No2 Drift
- 1:45:13Appalachians ago. And as soon as we leave, I'm not
- 1:45:18saying we weren't drinking or anything, but like the the
- 1:45:21bumpers and everything just fell off and then we had to stop in
- 1:45:25the middle of the street, get the bumpers and then leave.
- 1:45:30It was great. I loved you, of course.
- 1:45:32Yeah, yeah, doing a burnout in like Beckley WV with Long and
- 1:45:38Junior. What do you like Andy Sapp in my
- 1:45:41passenger seat? I'm like what the fuck is
- 1:45:43happening? What was?
- 1:45:44That's an example of like a what the fuck moment?
- 1:45:47What? Were they driving?
- 1:45:47What was Von getting driving? He was in like some he wasn't in
- 1:45:51the RTR demo car. It was just like some weird
- 1:45:55Mustang that like they brought to the.
- 1:45:58I'm glad that he's there though. I'm glad that like they're doing
- 1:46:01this shit like the Ogs are coming out.
- 1:46:04Yeah, all right, We gotta. Yeah, him and Ben were like
- 1:46:06ripping. I'm like, I got to, I got to
- 1:46:08drive, which I actually when I hit the guardrail, I was in
- 1:46:11front of Chelsea Denova. Oh my God.
- 1:46:12He just like at the end, like came up, he's like what the fuck
- 1:46:15was that? My God.
- 1:46:18Sorry dude. You ever run a pro dude?
- 1:46:20You ever run into like a random von getting like cut out at a
- 1:46:24dude? At a convenience store, yeah.
- 1:46:27It'll be like a random von game, just like.
- 1:46:30Drink some monster with a fun hammer and you're like.
- 1:46:32That's amazing, dude. I don't know, maybe back in the
- 1:46:34day I feel like. No way it's not back.
- 1:46:36In the day. It's current.
- 1:46:38They'll have like, you know, like the big window stickers
- 1:46:41that they'll have. It's like some dude on like a,
- 1:46:43you know, sand rail, like jumping or whatever.
- 1:46:48Like every once in a while it's like von or like.
- 1:46:51The Mustang with a Monster Energy logo big like and it's
- 1:46:56just fun like bad or something with like a can of monsters.
- 1:46:59That's got to get to your head, dude.
- 1:47:00Yeah, Like, you pull up to the gas station and you're just on
- 1:47:03the window. Like I'd be like, I'm fucking.
- 1:47:06I'm the man, dude. Like give me free gas.
- 1:47:11Dude, that is. You're getting a gas
- 1:47:13sponsorship. You not like race teams, just
- 1:47:14have like Shell, BP and all that stuff.
- 1:47:16Yeah, that was an era of racing where I thought that was some
- 1:47:20stylish stuff. I would have really helped me
- 1:47:22out this year. Dude, I picked the wrong time to
- 1:47:25drive across the country. With your five step dude, That's
- 1:47:27why I was asking like yeah, this is kind of yeah, but the truck
- 1:47:32runs on E85 still. The truck runs on E 80.
- 1:47:34Yeah, Toyota did. I didn't know this until I
- 1:47:37started like really looking into them.
- 1:47:39But like some of the five sevens are flex fuel.
- 1:47:42That's and the only way to tell is the gas cap has like a little
- 1:47:45thing that says E85 on. It OK, so is that.
- 1:47:47Like I don't know shit about. You and there's AW the the the
- 1:47:505th Vin number Vin 5th character in the Vin is AW.
- 1:47:54So you save money this way like it's it's like better like way.
- 1:47:58From California, dude. OK, like California.
- 1:48:00Dude. 6-6 dollars a gallon or three, you know yeah it gets a
- 1:48:04little worse mileage, but like. California is insane bro.
- 1:48:08Some of the shit. I'm telling you, I don't know
- 1:48:09how you guys do it. How do you guys do even going to
- 1:48:12the track like the race jugs that you like?
- 1:48:15Let's say let's see, you had three.
- 1:48:18What are the ones with the little floppy thing like 5
- 1:48:20gallon? Yeah.
- 1:48:21I guess. The flop, yeah.
- 1:48:23It's like a 5 What's? Kind of floppy thing we're
- 1:48:25talking about. Oh, it's like the nozzle.
- 1:48:28Yeah, the the the thingy that goes in.
- 1:48:30OK, Yeah, yeah. Whoa.
- 1:48:32Also, I guess pause. But 5 gallons times three, $6
- 1:48:37per gallon, It's like. Fuck, that's for regular.
- 1:48:42Oh my. God, yeah.
- 1:48:44California Premium. Right now, right now, right now.
- 1:48:46What's 9? I remember being there and it
- 1:48:47was like $9 places the. Strait of Houmouth is really
- 1:48:49fucking up drifting right now. The Strait of Vermouth is.
- 1:48:53Vermouth. Fucking us bad.
- 1:48:56Wait, but why is? Hold up, hold up.
- 1:48:58I think I said it wrong too. No, don't, don't, don't blame
- 1:49:02whatever's going on over there. California's gas prices are
- 1:49:04always insane. Yeah, that's true.
- 1:49:07So, but manageable before, manageable before.
- 1:49:10Nah dude, it's bad when you when you go there the first thing you
- 1:49:13see other than in and out is the fucking gas prices and you're
- 1:49:15like what the fuck is going on over?
- 1:49:17Here, yeah, it's pretty crazy to me that like you can get a a
- 1:49:21meal at in and out for the same price as a gallon of gas. 100%,
- 1:49:25100% that is. And that is the best part of
- 1:49:28California, mind you. Yeah, because I remember when I
- 1:49:30went in and out the first time, I was like, yo, this is a
- 1:49:33problem. Like if this was by us, this
- 1:49:35would be a. Problem a lot when we went, you
- 1:49:36took me there a lot. Yeah, dude, it's fucking.
- 1:49:38I got a milkshake, fries, double burger, and it was like $10.
- 1:49:42I was like, you do that here, you're spending $20 minimum.
- 1:49:45Like I. Hate.
- 1:49:46Gas is gas isn't super crazy here, but you guys got tolls?
- 1:49:50You got like, yeah, the tolls. It's pretty expensive.
- 1:49:52And like it is expensive. Jersey.
- 1:49:54And you don't get anything in return in California.
- 1:49:56You got you got a lot of stuff to do in California.
- 1:49:58It's real pretty. It's hot.
- 1:50:01I think it's the most beautiful state, but I also think it's the
- 1:50:03most fucked up with the government.
- 1:50:04So it's like. Yeah, it's like, especially if
- 1:50:07you like guns. That too.
- 1:50:08It's a bad place to. Be but all that tax money that
- 1:50:12they've add to the fuel prices is supposed to go to the roads.
- 1:50:16Which How's that going? Not happening.
- 1:50:20Dude, all the tax money that we have to pay with, I mean all the
- 1:50:22toll money, that toll money was supposed to be done when they
- 1:50:25finished the road in 19, like 40.
- 1:50:29They just didn't take it. Out and they just didn't stop.
- 1:50:31Hey, man. And they just keep raising it.
- 1:50:32And I'm like, when are we going to be like, no.
- 1:50:36You like you leave this area and you go like South like let's say
- 1:50:39you're going to mid pond. It's like 16 hours straight.
- 1:50:42You leave the tri-state and then you stop running into like EZ
- 1:50:45passes and then you're like. Yeah, you're like, oh, people
- 1:50:48live free in this country. I didn't know that.
- 1:50:50Yo, Malcolm, look up how much the George Washington Bridge
- 1:50:52makes a day in total money. Watch this shit.
- 1:50:56Oh, you're going to have to go over that motherfucker.
- 1:50:58Oh no, you'll probably go over. I want to drive the drift car
- 1:51:00into New York tomorrow. You definitely should do that.
- 1:51:03You can. One of my tail lights doesn't
- 1:51:05work. Is that?
- 1:51:05You're fine dude. New York is the Wild West.
- 1:51:07Just tell him, you know Josh Delise, Yeah, he's an important
- 1:51:10person in New York. Dude, there's people driving
- 1:51:11around on motorcycles over there, just riding on sidewalks,
- 1:51:14no helmets, like just doing whatever they want.
- 1:51:16To do let alone the car. Just be careful too.
- 1:51:18Like there's fucking morons over there.
- 1:51:20Almost $1,000,000 a day, every day A.
- 1:51:23Day. A day.
- 1:51:25Who the fuck is getting this money?
- 1:51:27You'll see the roads are not getting any of that.
- 1:51:31I have I have a theory that I came up with on the way out
- 1:51:34here. Holy hell yeah.
- 1:51:36Conspiracy. It's not a conspiracy.
- 1:51:37I think it's I'd like prove me wrong.
- 1:51:40I may, I may have said this like on my podcast, but like, you
- 1:51:45know, we're in a different spot. So as as I come into cities,
- 1:51:50some of them have good roads, some of them don't.
- 1:51:51But what I did find out is there's a strong correlation to
- 1:51:54like hard rap and shitty roads, OK?
- 1:52:00Memphis. Shit roads out here, shit roads.
- 1:52:04OK, give me a place with good Rd.
- 1:52:06Arizona. OK.
- 1:52:10Yeah, you're right. Tennessee.
- 1:52:12Yeah. Nashville.
- 1:52:14Yeah, they do have good roads, pretty good.
- 1:52:17So if there's if Chief Keef is nearby, the roads are shit.
- 1:52:24Detroit or or not even Chicago, Yeah.
- 1:52:27Yeah, I mean, they talk about it in the Risky Devil video.
- 1:52:30Yeah, if you build shitty roads, we could go around them,
- 1:52:32whatever they. Say yeah, yeah, they did say
- 1:52:33that. Damn, that's actually kind of
- 1:52:36legit. I want to be proven wrong.
- 1:52:38Seattle nice, mostly nice roads actually.
- 1:52:41I don't know, but they. Yeah, kind of.
- 1:52:43No, Yeah, yeah. When I went, yeah, I think it
- 1:52:44was pretty nice. All I all I remember about when
- 1:52:47I went to Seattle was it was very Gray the whole time.
- 1:52:52Yep. That's how it is I.
- 1:52:53Don't know if I saw the sun one time and I was there for like a
- 1:52:56week or a couple of days, yeah. A lot of people kill themselves
- 1:52:58over there. Really.
- 1:53:00Yeah. Damn, why do people kill
- 1:53:01themselves all over the? Place every day but.
- 1:53:03But especially there. Yeah, Pacific Northwest not a
- 1:53:06good place to be. There might be 1 here a lot
- 1:53:09today. Not a good place to be.
- 1:53:10Yeah, that's why they are looking for vitamin D all the
- 1:53:12time. Yeah, that's why there's so many
- 1:53:13Only Fans girls up there. Nuts, Malcolm.
- 1:53:16Let's get into that hour where shit's going to get dark.
- 1:53:18Can we look up what's the state with the most suicides?
- 1:53:22Like the thing you want to get? Take a guess.
- 1:53:24Take a guess. I'm saying, I'm saying.
- 1:53:26Oregon. No, I'm saying I'm going to say
- 1:53:29Alaska. I would have said Alaska.
- 1:53:31Alaska that that checks out. OK.
- 1:53:35Montana. Montana, I would have never
- 1:53:37thought. Yeah, there's, there's not that
- 1:53:39many people. So I would have never thought
- 1:53:40Wyoming. Rural isolation, high firearm
- 1:53:44availability. OK.
- 1:53:46Yeah, they had to toss that one. Yeah, dude, suck my Dick.
- 1:53:49Totally self evaluated. That's.
- 1:53:52Crazy is it to say that you would kill yourself?
- 1:53:55I drove through New Mexico. I could see it.
- 1:53:58New Mexico's kind of shit. Like, kind of, yeah.
- 1:54:00Barren, right? I mean, it's kind of cool.
- 1:54:04I don't know if you like Breaking Bad.
- 1:54:05It's sick. Lowest rates, exactly what it
- 1:54:08looks like. New Jersey and New York lowest.
- 1:54:10Rates. It's because we have the most
- 1:54:12amount of people. The sample size is larger.
- 1:54:15And like, the area's smaller. Yeah, but it's yeah, I.
- 1:54:19Think that's based on population.
- 1:54:20Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. God damn it, yeah, maybe.
- 1:54:23This is that checks out, bro, that checks out.
- 1:54:27I'll pump up that number right now.
- 1:54:29I don't want to be an asshole to people who have lost friends to
- 1:54:32suicide, but that checks out because when I hear about that
- 1:54:35shit I'm like bro what the? Fuck I only.
- 1:54:37Like it doesn't make sense in my mind.
- 1:54:40I know like a handful, not more than five of my friends who've
- 1:54:44killed themselves. Yeah, but.
- 1:54:46Really unfortunate. Yeah.
- 1:54:47Check on your friends dude. Yeah, check on them.
- 1:54:50Check on them and sometimes you. Can't.
- 1:54:52Sometimes you can't. They're just gonna, they're
- 1:54:53gonna do their own thing. That's true.
- 1:54:55You know what I mean? But yeah, I know what you're
- 1:54:56saying. Like.
- 1:54:57My real estate agent just did himself, so that's.
- 1:54:59Fucking crazy. Fucking terrible.
- 1:55:01And he's a real estate agent. Well, it's a bad time.
- 1:55:03Yeah, Yeah. I don't know.
- 1:55:05He helped me buy a house a long time ago.
- 1:55:08Yeah, so. Fuck moving forward I think we
- 1:55:10got questions, so thank you. Let's get out of this fucking.
- 1:55:13Dark hole. It was only going to get worse.
- 1:55:15I was so, so quiet listening to you 2 And now we're talking
- 1:55:18about this and I'm like, this is.
- 1:55:20Bad. Yeah, I'm.
- 1:55:21What are we doing tomorrow? When you drive that your car
- 1:55:24into the city, it's going to feel sick.
- 1:55:26Like, not that this matters, but having a car that's different
- 1:55:32from every other car, I get a good feeling out of it.
- 1:55:35Like you're going to be the only one in the city with something
- 1:55:38that looks like that. That's one.
- 1:55:39That's one cool part about having the spot in like Phoenix,
- 1:55:44as I was able to get the car because like in California,
- 1:55:47there's like absolutely no fucking way to do it.
- 1:55:50I mean you can and. They could like take it from
- 1:55:53you, like they'll they'll impound it or whatever.
- 1:55:56Oh yeah. On some Fast and the Furious
- 1:56:00shit still like impound. Would they crush it or can you?
- 1:56:03Get it back. How are you going to have all
- 1:56:05these crazy laws in the state that fast and Furious that's.
- 1:56:08Literally, you know what I mean. The automotive capital of the
- 1:56:11country. You guys have the coolest.
- 1:56:13Cleanest cars, most detail oriented, and then you find out
- 1:56:18you can't have a test pipe. We're going to need an hour for
- 1:56:22the questions. By the way.
- 1:56:23This is insanity. Read off.
- 1:56:25Read off. This is the most I've ever seen,
- 1:56:28just so you guys know. That's because.
- 1:56:29Palmer has his own podcast. Because, I mean, I'm popular.
- 1:56:31Yeah, he's he's super popular. I'm.
- 1:56:36Gonna say don't forget the Instagram handle.
- 1:56:39I'm gonna save you on some of these, but some of them I'm not.
- 1:56:41Going through the questions, every once in a while I'm I'll
- 1:56:45get one and I'm just like, what the fuck does this mean?
- 1:56:47Like if I do questions on the podcast, I just stopped doing it
- 1:56:50because I'm like. I have to just skip it sometimes
- 1:56:53because I'm like. I like the.
- 1:56:55I like the kind of retarded. Well, no, the retarded ones,
- 1:56:57like if they're funny, I'm going to say it.
- 1:56:58I'm going to say. It like the animal ones for a
- 1:57:00little bit I was like, who's who's putting these in here?
- 1:57:04Yeah. And like, what's the motive?
- 1:57:06First one, it only took two years, OK.
- 1:57:08OK. I think to get on the podcast.
- 1:57:11Who said that? Yeah, fucking when you ask me
- 1:57:14these questions. Out No, because that I like
- 1:57:16hearing my name on stuff because it's going to be.
- 1:57:18Someone that we know that I forgot his name and then I have
- 1:57:21to fucking. Instagram handle.
- 1:57:23It's what's his face. Big rice guy.
- 1:57:25Oh, Kenny. Kenny.
- 1:57:26Yeah. Forgot your name.
- 1:57:27Kenny. Sorry, I'm an asshole.
- 1:57:28You forget. Can we not ask that anymore?
- 1:57:30Just read the fucking Instagram handle and call it a day pops.
- 1:57:34Fuck fucking jeez I. Didn't ask him for his
- 1:57:36government, did I? Malcolm, you hear where I'm
- 1:57:38coming from? Just read the app bro.
- 1:57:41Yeah, like. It's going to be something that.
- 1:57:42I know, like I literally know that who?
- 1:57:44Cares. I'm going to be like it's.
- 1:57:46People change their handle all the time, so you just fuck yeah
- 1:57:49I don't give a shit. Well, whatever.
- 1:57:51Three days. If they know me, they know I
- 1:57:52don't remember anymore. They did the time, submitted it.
- 1:57:54I can't remember people's names either.
- 1:57:55No, yeah, I can't. Remember dude, my memory's been
- 1:57:58so bad lately I don't know what the fuck.
- 1:58:00I'll remember the car though. I will remember a car.
- 1:58:03So he he also asked Fuck Mary Kill, but it's your team.
- 1:58:06You pick the three. Wow.
- 1:58:10That's a fucking crazy question. Who you fucking?
- 1:58:15I did a podcast with Jimmy Hoax yesterday for like goodness cast
- 1:58:19and he asked me like rate, rate your team in order of skill.
- 1:58:25And I was like, I can't do that. That's crazy.
- 1:58:27I was like, I'm at the bottom. Everybody else is up here.
- 1:58:29This is a more realistic question.
- 1:58:31Is this No, I think that's what's good about it.
- 1:58:36You've got to have. I know you know the answer deep
- 1:58:39in your heart. Oh, yes.
- 1:58:43OK. Yeah, dude, how?
- 1:58:44You can't pick that. You can't.
- 1:58:47Like honestly, which one am I going to clap dude?
- 1:58:51That's your heart. That's where you're stuck.
- 1:58:52Aaron because he's got long hair and it won't be as bad.
- 1:58:55Like, I don't know. I don't know.
- 1:58:56Dude, that was such a quick. Here it is that you you thought
- 1:58:59of that? Now who are you killing?
- 1:59:02We'll marry then kill I guess. I got to kill Jamo because he's
- 1:59:08he's coming up too quick, dude. Oh, you're, he's, I'm going to
- 1:59:13be we're. Going to be irrelevant.
- 1:59:14Dude, that checks out. Now who are you going to marry?
- 1:59:19Julian. It's got to be Julian.
- 1:59:20It's got to be Julian. I don't know.
- 1:59:21Yeah, one's tough. You could be like he could pick
- 1:59:24you up in his arms and shit because is he is.
- 1:59:26He taller, so then it's. Like you could wear heels.
- 1:59:29I got to be the. I got to be the the the gwink.
- 1:59:32Are you the girl? I guess.
- 1:59:33I don't know which one am I. I don't know.
- 1:59:37That's on you. That's a great the rest of them.
- 1:59:41All of them move to. Utah.
- 1:59:44Checks out the Mormon wives. Do you think in the future there
- 1:59:47could be a series of mountain Toge's like Drift Appalachia
- 1:59:50teen competition? I mean, I think they're going
- 1:59:53that way. That would be really sick, but
- 1:59:58yeah, fuck it. Yeah, that sounds.
- 2:00:00I I've, I mean, that would be really cool.
- 2:00:02I wanted to have the team there so bad.
- 2:00:05Like once I was there, I was like, I'm driving with these
- 2:00:07people. I don't know, I know Josh, like
- 2:00:10we've gotten some laps. Like I don't feel like I can
- 2:00:14drive really telepathically with him yet like having the whole
- 2:00:18team there or like some of us where we really like know each
- 2:00:22other and how each person drives.
- 2:00:25Like I think we could have done some pretty cool shit.
- 2:00:28That being said, I think trying to push people to like do a team
- 2:00:33event on something like that would be.
- 2:00:35So treacherous. Yeah, true.
- 2:00:37Like for each other's safety or you mean for like the team?
- 2:00:46They might not be able to keep their insurance you.
- 2:00:48Know like like that's. What, you mean?
- 2:00:49OK, It's gonna be. I mean fuck that would be cool,
- 2:00:53but it would be very very sketchy.
- 2:00:55Cuz all of you guys pushing 110%.
- 2:00:57Yeah, like if you're trying to win the mountain.
- 2:01:00Like. It's gonna be.
- 2:01:04Dude, hey. The Toge master.
- 2:01:07Yeah, like it would be really sick and it would probably come.
- 2:01:10The fucking media that come would come from that would be
- 2:01:14insane. That might be the next evolution
- 2:01:16of this. Yeah, I think once they do it
- 2:01:18for a while and people start to get more comfortable, maybe they
- 2:01:20find some roads that aren't as like make or break then it that
- 2:01:28would be that would be the coolest.
- 2:01:32That's what I think I mean by when it hopefully they come out
- 2:01:35with a slower, more technical. 1.
- 2:01:39Like I could be at the top of second, maybe kiss third.
- 2:01:43Like I know what you mean, but it's also good that it's keeping
- 2:01:45the driving like. It's keeping the driving and the
- 2:01:48people who can go. Like, really?
- 2:01:50Really elevated type. Yeah.
- 2:01:52And you're one of them. Dude.
- 2:01:53Here you go. What does Palmer miss from
- 2:01:56drifting 10 to 15 years ago versus what it is in 2026?
- 2:02:02I don't miss sucking at drifting as far as like missing stuff I
- 2:02:08do. I do miss the simplicity and
- 2:02:12kind of just. There was less going on back
- 2:02:20then. It was a lot easier to kind of
- 2:02:23just like blend in to the crowd and the crowd was really small
- 2:02:28and it it was the community was way smaller and just, I don't
- 2:02:36know that's. Kind of how we feel too.
- 2:02:38Yeah, like right now it's like you're kind of a drop in the
- 2:02:43bucket. Even if you're like doing cool
- 2:02:45shit. It's like drifting itself is so
- 2:02:47big, it's impossible to know everything that's going on.
- 2:02:51Back then it was like there'd be like a couple, maybe 6 to 10
- 2:02:56events a year within driving range, and you knew everybody
- 2:03:01and every single one. And like now you can go to like
- 2:03:0410 events a month and know, you know, like 2% of the people.
- 2:03:11That's exactly how we feel at Club Blues too.
- 2:03:13It's like, it's like so many people now, which is cool, but
- 2:03:16it's just totally different, you know, versus back then when it
- 2:03:19was like, it's just funny memories of like you.
- 2:03:21You literally know everyone on the track.
- 2:03:24Yeah, but then like this. Dude like hooked up with this
- 2:03:26dude's girlfriend and like, you know, that's the same shit all.
- 2:03:29Over the country. You know what?
- 2:03:31I mean, it's like, it's like this community, it's like, it
- 2:03:34was like a very small tribe of people who like found something
- 2:03:38and like didn't, you know, were like trying to do something that
- 2:03:42was really unique and different. And now drifting is very
- 2:03:44mainstream and it's cool and it's really nice because I can
- 2:03:48tell, you know, people that I do drifting and they're not like,
- 2:03:52oh, you're homeless, you know, like you.
- 2:03:55Yeah. That's what it.
- 2:03:56Was like, oh, I drift and they're like, oh, do you live in
- 2:03:59a van? And you're like, what the fuck
- 2:04:00are you talking about? And you're like, oh, that means
- 2:04:03something else, you know, like now people know what it is.
- 2:04:06But it was kind of cool to have it just be so niche that you had
- 2:04:11literally had to explain it to people.
- 2:04:13Yeah, now you really don't. It's been that way for years
- 2:04:15too. It's been that way for like 4
- 2:04:16years. Where you?
- 2:04:17Yeah. I mean, we work on a lot of
- 2:04:19drift cars. Oh, cool.
- 2:04:21You know what that is? Yeah.
- 2:04:22Yeah, I know what that is like. Wow.
- 2:04:24OK. The worst is when you get a I'm
- 2:04:27into drifting and they go instead of like, it's like AO
- 2:04:30and then you're like, I know what you think that I do.
- 2:04:33Takeovers. Yeah.
- 2:04:35And then you're like, no, no, no, no, it's not like that.
- 2:04:38I think add that to the list. I think the crossover.
- 2:04:40Yeah. Like in the Bay Area, like
- 2:04:43sideshows were a thing since like I remember.
- 2:04:45You heard about this? Dude, Lexus King told us about
- 2:04:47like the original. That is totally different than
- 2:04:50what's going on right now. Yeah, I mean, I remember like
- 2:04:53watching the news when I was like 5 in like 95 and you'd see
- 2:04:57like crazy out of control drivers, like stay tuned for the
- 2:05:0210:00 news. And you'd I'd stay up and watch
- 2:05:04it because I love doughnuts and shit.
- 2:05:06So I'd be like, just be like some Fox body, like spinning out
- 2:05:09on an intersection, you know, like and like people standing
- 2:05:12around and stuff. So like that's been around
- 2:05:14forever and like drifting in the Bay has there was no relation
- 2:05:21between the two. And then they slowly kind of
- 2:05:24like there was that like intersect where people just
- 2:05:28decided it was all the same thing because they can't tell
- 2:05:30the difference. And now I, I'm starting to feel
- 2:05:33like the general population is able to tell the difference a
- 2:05:37little bit. Like for a few years it was
- 2:05:40like, those are the same thing. And then now it's like.
- 2:05:42COVID years, yeah. I try to tell people we wear a
- 2:05:45helmet. That's the big differentiator.
- 2:05:48I just say I go to race. Tracks.
- 2:05:49Yeah. I'm like, we're on tracks.
- 2:05:51Doing it in your front lawn or whatever.
- 2:05:53And we're like, oh. Yeah, I'm not.
- 2:05:54I'm not hitting people or. Anything.
- 2:05:55I did some dumb shit the other day.
- 2:05:56Guys, this is a confession right now.
- 2:05:57I did some dumb shit the other day in a car and I felt bad.
- 2:06:01I'm like what? I drift to Miyagi's crested like
- 2:06:04through an intersection during the day.
- 2:06:05Fire. And, and there was a car coming
- 2:06:08out and I saw him and I'll show you the clip later.
- 2:06:13It's fucking dumb. It's stupid.
- 2:06:16And we're going, it was me and Eddie.
- 2:06:19And I see the car come out and I'm like, OK, I'm going to shut
- 2:06:22it down. And then I see him hit his
- 2:06:24brakes and I'm like, I'm sending it and just fucking pinned it
- 2:06:27and just kept going. But I was like afterwards, like
- 2:06:30when we were driving down the highway, I was like, yeah, we
- 2:06:31got to get out of here. And like the whole whole ride
- 2:06:33back I was like, I feel like such a piece of shit right now.
- 2:06:35Like because I, I don't do that. But it was just, we were trying
- 2:06:39to get footage and then we didn't get anything for 1/2
- 2:06:41hour. And then I was like light turned
- 2:06:43green and I was like, fuck it, we're going for it.
- 2:06:45And then but I just that feeling of like feeling like an asshole,
- 2:06:49if you don't have that, you're not a drifter, you're a fucking
- 2:06:53takeover kid. You know what I mean?
- 2:06:55Like you're not supposed to be doing that shit around other
- 2:06:58cars and like putting other people in any kind of danger or.
- 2:07:02Yeah, I mean, the goal with like learning to drift was always
- 2:07:05like, how far can we get from people?
- 2:07:07Exactly, Yeah. How close can we get to people?
- 2:07:10We go through, we go to lengths to try to just get away from
- 2:07:14people, at least drifting. Yeah.
- 2:07:17Then you find a spot. You make sure it's a spot that's
- 2:07:20well away from houses so you don't get popped right away.
- 2:07:22Yeah, we'll do it at night at. Night.
- 2:07:24And we'll like wait a long time to make sure no one is coming
- 2:07:28and like time traffic lights and like we.
- 2:07:30Really did go out of our way to make it not in anyone.
- 2:07:35And these guys and the takeover guys do the exact opposite.
- 2:07:37They're like yo, right here. Yeah.
- 2:07:39So yeah, I just, I, I just thought about that, but from the
- 2:07:41other day, because I remember that car stopping and I was
- 2:07:43like. You're getting old.
- 2:07:44Because I feel like that was like, tough Frankie.
- 2:07:47I would do that. No, no, no, I wouldn't.
- 2:07:48I wouldn't. I would not do.
- 2:07:49I would do like an on ramp for where it's like you're the
- 2:07:53person on the on ramp and no one else can get to you kind of
- 2:07:55situation. Yeah, I feel like that's kind
- 2:07:58of, I don't know, I shouldn't say it.
- 2:08:01On the line of fucking takeover shit.
- 2:08:02No, no, no, no. I mean, yeah, on ramp sick.
- 2:08:08Yeah, yeah, but and you're alone kind of, you know what I mean?
- 2:08:11Unless you're doing shit with other people.
- 2:08:12But you shouldn't be doing that during the day.
- 2:08:14Frankie has a signature on ramp. It's the worst fucking on ramp
- 2:08:17ever cuz it just closes up real tight at the end.
- 2:08:20He doesn't every time. Check out the Patreon if you
- 2:08:23want to see that clip from the other day.
- 2:08:24Every time he does this on ramp so I'm so shocked to hear this.
- 2:08:28Which one are you talking about? Oh, you can't say anything all
- 2:08:31right, but. Yeah, don't blow up the spot,
- 2:08:33dude. Yeah, don't blow up the fucking
- 2:08:34on ramp not. A spot.
- 2:08:38It's like the worst on ramp ever.
- 2:08:40But yeah, no dude, we would go to that one spot that's local
- 2:08:42that me and you want to hit one day.
- 2:08:44Oh yes. Dude, I would be there for like
- 2:08:4730 minutes alone on the side of the road with my hazards on,
- 2:08:51waiting, waiting. I'd be like, OK, OK, we're good.
- 2:08:54And you can like see over this little like hill or ramp or
- 2:08:57whatever, and it's a dead area. But like, if I saw lights
- 2:09:01coming, I'd be like, no, we're not doing it.
- 2:09:03And just wait. The moment would be the light.
- 2:09:06You have to see the other light turning red and there has to be
- 2:09:09no lights on the on the top of the hill.
- 2:09:12And then you go because when, if the lights turning red, then
- 2:09:14yours is going to be green. So that's, that's one less
- 2:09:17ticket you're going to get. And then you're not going to hit
- 2:09:20anyone because you're, you're going to see the cars that
- 2:09:22aren't coming there. But then if one comes over the
- 2:09:24car, you got to shut it down. You got to turn around, go back
- 2:09:26and wait again. That's why I never really got
- 2:09:28into the street drifting thing. I feel like I'd be so.
- 2:09:31And I'd rather do that. About.
- 2:09:32Every single time than go to the track.
- 2:09:35I had way more fun doing that. But yeah, I, I.
- 2:09:37I like going to the tracks, so then I'm like, I'm not going to
- 2:09:39get a ticket here. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:09:41But. At first it was the.
- 2:09:42Adrenaline of like the risk. I think that's what it was.
- 2:09:45That's like that's yeah. But OK, spit or swallow.
- 2:09:50Now see these are the ones I'm going to.
- 2:09:53See that one? Read the Instagram handle.
- 2:09:55It's just all fucking Damon from karoshi.
- 2:09:58It's not saying the grossest shit, OK?
- 2:10:00So now, so now it's like, OK, read the Instagram handle.
- 2:10:02OK, under score. ZT EE EE like.
- 2:10:09This is fucking stupid bro. I guess you know what I mean.
- 2:10:12Like if you were reading these names you would agree.
- 2:10:13I would just read them. These are zitihi like, what is
- 2:10:17that, Michael Jackson? Perfect, get a better Instagram.
- 2:10:20What's it like? OK, sorry, bro, you smoked.
- 2:10:28All right, Norcal versus Midwest, East Coast slash, East
- 2:10:31Coast drifting, where they came from and where it's going.
- 2:10:34I don't really know if there's a question there, but I guess how
- 2:10:39do you feel about those areas of drifting?
- 2:10:41Is that like? AI don't.
- 2:10:43It's not. Really, I mean, I kind of
- 2:10:44answered it before. I feel like Drift app is like
- 2:10:47levelling this area and also like all the grid lights and
- 2:10:50stuff like that, all the big fast track stuff.
- 2:10:52Like there's a lot more I don't know.
- 2:10:58I feel like Norcal has like a really strong drifting ability
- 2:11:02because a lot of the tracks you get to drive are super fast.
- 2:11:05And then we also have like technical stuff and then we also
- 2:11:07have the skid pad that we can like try things on.
- 2:11:11And so, and there's just, there's a lot of really good
- 2:11:13drivers who aren't trying to be professionals or Youtubers or
- 2:11:19anything. Like Norcal has like a really
- 2:11:20strong community of people who just want to drive hard.
- 2:11:22And it's not about, like, clout, Yeah.
- 2:11:26Yeah. That's like Pennsylvania
- 2:11:28drifting. Yeah, it kind of is.
- 2:11:31Like people don't. People just still go there to
- 2:11:33drift, Yeah. They don't care about nothing,
- 2:11:35don't get 100 laps. We don't have a like Norcal
- 2:11:38really doesn't have like a pro AM series like we just have
- 2:11:42like. I wonder if the pro am moving
- 2:11:45wherever that area is is like a Walmart living moving into like
- 2:11:49a small. Town, I mean, I would say like
- 2:11:53what I've learned is it seems like on the eastern side of the
- 2:11:57country, the community really people float around a lot and
- 2:12:02like drive a lot of different stuff.
- 2:12:03And then also like there's events that people run that are
- 2:12:07like all over the East Coast and whatever.
- 2:12:10And also like the Midwest dudes and the dudes from Texas, like
- 2:12:13everybody kind of like moves around a lot in Florida and
- 2:12:16whatever. So I would say on the West Coast
- 2:12:19people don't really travel as much.
- 2:12:23People kind of stay in their bubbles more, especially like
- 2:12:25Southern California, Norcal people come down to like ABS and
- 2:12:28they'll go up to like Oregon and stuff, but that's really it.
- 2:12:31Dude, I feel like there's a big like there's a barrier like from
- 2:12:35Utah straight down. I mean, including Arizona in
- 2:12:38that. I know there's tracks there, but
- 2:12:40like. Arizona is also like it's own
- 2:12:42little thing. Like people from Arizona, they
- 2:12:44go to like Vegas and they'll go to ABS and stuff, but it's like
- 2:12:48that's it. Like they're like desert
- 2:12:50Drifters. Yeah, that's crazy.
- 2:12:51Like. Just sick.
- 2:12:54Yeah, that sounds. That's fucking wild.
- 2:12:55Yeah. I wonder if there's more tracks
- 2:12:57that are going to be like Uncovered that are in the middle
- 2:13:00over there. They've got a lot of space.
- 2:13:02Dude, so I I think they'll figure some stuff.
- 2:13:04Out like somebody who had the go karting track once in their
- 2:13:07lifetime and now they're just, they're like, oh, we can use it
- 2:13:09for drifting actually. Dom from Goldstar says hi bud,
- 2:13:13miss you. Sounds good dude.
- 2:13:16I like those questions. That was probably, that might
- 2:13:19have been the first car I was in drifting that final bout ever,
- 2:13:22really. Was his like?
- 2:13:23Passenger. Lab, Yeah.
- 2:13:24Yeah, that final bout 1 I think. What a wild machine.

- 2:14:08was Benson did mine and he's like, I want to do a podcast.
- 2:14:11OK. He was like my 6th or 7th
- 2:14:15guests, but there was like maximum drift casts.
- 2:14:19That was like a thing like back in the day, yeah.
- 2:14:21Why don't that sounds familiar? That's the formula D1 I think.
- 2:14:24No, that was like. It was outer zone, yeah.
- 2:14:28That's. The outer zone guy.
- 2:14:30Yeah, the the teal beanie, dude. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:14:34Maximum drift cast. It was a thing for like a
- 2:14:37minute. So I was, you know, I'm it's not
- 2:14:40like I. Yeah, we're going to say you
- 2:14:41were the first. So there you go.
- 2:14:43You're definitely what influenced us here.
- 2:14:46So thank you for that. That was.
- 2:14:51Yeah, this is really that. Was super duper powerful.
- 2:14:53No. So thank you honestly.
- 2:14:56It's not just because of the help that it's provided for the
- 2:14:58business. It's just like the amount of
- 2:15:00think about the memories that we've made because we made this
- 2:15:03shit. Yeah, we met a lot of people.
- 2:15:04And you probably have a handful too that you can.
- 2:15:07It's brought you places. You.
- 2:15:08I'm like, I'm friends with Andy Sapp.
- 2:15:10Yeah, that's crazy. Like, I like me and Andy Sapp
- 2:15:13caravan to West Virginia together.
- 2:15:15I mean like had lunch and did. He drift too.
- 2:15:17No, he did. He shot a bunch of media.
- 2:15:19Stuff. He's like he's working on a
- 2:15:21really cool project and like, yeah, we like we like I didn't
- 2:15:28ever expect to be friends with Andy Sapp.
- 2:15:30I just like thought he was cool and made slide America and like
- 2:15:34was in keep drifting fun. And I'm like that guy seems
- 2:15:36cool. He's.
- 2:15:37A bit in Keep Drifting fun was. So gangster.
- 2:15:40Yeah, the managing down the highway, dude.
- 2:15:42I was like, that's the coolest shit.
- 2:15:44Dude, I managing down every highway after that every single
- 2:15:46night. If I was on the MIS 13, it was
- 2:15:48no one was there. I'm managing down the highway.
- 2:15:50Like there's, there's the coolest guy.
- 2:15:52There's quite a few people that I've sat next to and been
- 2:15:55intimidated. And then like, now when I go to
- 2:15:58FD, like I'm all like, walk by Ken Gucci's pit.
- 2:16:02It'll be like, oh, what's up, dude?
- 2:16:03And I'm like, fucking Ken Gucci knows me, you know, like, like.
- 2:16:08Carl would. Carl would die bro.
- 2:16:10I think Ken Gucci's so cool. I went and sat in the stands at
- 2:16:13Irwindale and like watched all these guys like battle it out
- 2:16:16when I like didn't even have a car yet.
- 2:16:18You know, like to know that like, because I decided to,
- 2:16:22like, record myself talking to my friend once.
- 2:16:25Now I'm like friends with people that I thought were, like the
- 2:16:30coolest in the world. Like is the sickest part of the
- 2:16:33whole thing. Yeah.
- 2:16:35And also helping be able to tell people's story is like, means a
- 2:16:40lot to me because I think a lot of these people are really
- 2:16:42interesting. And also the amount of like, I
- 2:16:46don't know, we do you guys do this shit.
- 2:16:48So it's like, it's hard to know. You see people like doing well
- 2:16:53and you see people in a position that you're like, wow, that's
- 2:16:56really cool they got there. But like knowing the struggles
- 2:17:00and things that they gave up and the sacrifices to get to that
- 2:17:04place is like really important to me to have shared because you
- 2:17:09know, it's going to like empower somebody to be like, you know,
- 2:17:12what? If I want to get to that spot,
- 2:17:14like these are the things I'm going to have to do not like,
- 2:17:17well, I can never fucking get there because that's just, he
- 2:17:19just started there, you know? Some of the like more memorable
- 2:17:24things, pieces of feedback I've gotten from the pod is when
- 2:17:27somebody's like, I was really afraid to do insert task here,
- 2:17:32something we talked about and bullshitted about on the podcast
- 2:17:35and like I'm complaining about it or something.
- 2:17:37And then somebody find some sort of light in it.
- 2:17:41And then I'm like, wow, that actually means so much.
- 2:17:46One, because they sat there and either listened to hours of our
- 2:17:50voices just bullshitting around, or because it genuinely helped
- 2:17:54that person. But it's just a good feeling.
- 2:17:56Dude, you guys are getting people through their fucking
- 2:17:59shitty job. Like some dude who's like
- 2:18:01mopping a fucking elementary school bathroom is listening to
- 2:18:05you guys bullshit about fucking drift cars and like dreaming
- 2:18:09about, you know, the first time they go to the track.
- 2:18:11Like how fucking cool is that? Some dude running a goddamn
- 2:18:14backhoe getting yelled at and like taking a shit in a porta
- 2:18:18potty daily working in like 0° weather is like has headphones
- 2:18:22in and is listening to you. Guys, I've definitely said it.
- 2:18:25They're like listening to us in the most tough of times.
- 2:18:29Sometimes I feel like you're in the garage handling issue after
- 2:18:33issue and then good or after hours or or whatever podcast of
- 2:18:38your choice is playing and that person's voice is your safe
- 2:18:41space. Yeah.
- 2:18:42Like what? I mean, I, yeah, I, I don't
- 2:18:45listen to automotive podcasts, but I listen to like motorcycle
- 2:18:48ones sometimes and some other ones and like, I know they
- 2:18:51inspire me sometimes. And I'm like, if we're doing
- 2:18:54that for anyone, awesome. Because that's it helps
- 2:18:57sometimes, like just when you want to escape and hear other
- 2:19:01people's situations. And I don't know, it helps in
- 2:19:04its own way. So it's kind of like therapy.
- 2:19:06Yeah, I mean, I haven't done a flip trick in like 25 years, but
- 2:19:10like I still listen to the 9 club.
- 2:19:13Because me too, I don't even fucking skateboard.
- 2:19:15Like, but it's just like, I, I want to listen to people tell
- 2:19:19stories and be passionate about like the shit that they care
- 2:19:21about, you know what I mean? It's like, oh, this video part,
- 2:19:24I haven't even fucking seen the video part, but they're so
- 2:19:26excited to talk about it, you know?
- 2:19:28Dude, I listen to the same podcast.
- 2:19:29Yeah, yeah. And I I was telling my friend
- 2:19:31the other day I was like, I'm getting inspired from listening
- 2:19:35to the 9 club. It has nothing to do with
- 2:19:37anything I do. But it's the same.
- 2:19:39Cloth that we're cut. From it is like they're talking
- 2:19:42about the stories and I'm like, this sounds like the shit that
- 2:19:44we do. Like, yeah.
- 2:19:45You guys kind of have 9 club energy for sure.
- 2:19:47That's cool, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:19:49This has been not. This has been a fun one for me,
- 2:19:52yeah. Well, he's talking like the the
- 2:19:53same energy as that. Podcast, OK.
- 2:19:55Like the way because there's more, yeah.
- 2:19:57There's more people in that podcast.
- 2:19:59Like it's. Yeah.
- 2:20:00The layout. The layout.
- 2:20:02Is somewhere. Too, Yeah.
- 2:20:03I like it. Do you think you're going to
- 2:20:04make a brick and mortar like a place for you to host yours?
- 2:20:08My teammate Luke and I, he's, he's running a fabrication shop.
- 2:20:12And then I have like the goodest like lab essentially.
- 2:20:16Oh, that's cool, but it's not going to.
- 2:20:17Be like permanent because I need it's, it's really small.
- 2:20:21So like I'm not going to be able to have like a podcast studio.
- 2:20:25I'm going to have like a shop that I can set up the podcast
- 2:20:27in. But what that means is I will be
- 2:20:30able to like it's across the street from Julian.
- 2:20:33Like literally it's in like a, you know, shop complex, like
- 2:20:37heat makers right there. And so obviously like people are
- 2:20:42going to come by and I'm going to try and do more pods with
- 2:20:46Julian because he's just fucking funny.
- 2:20:48I. Love how Julian tells stories
- 2:20:50dude because his voice is so low dude and it's like resonating
- 2:20:54through my headphones. Yeah, I just, I want to do.
- 2:20:59Yeah. Having that help, like having
- 2:21:01the little, the studio in LA was literally like half of a bedroom
- 2:21:05that we would just like take all the shit out and like have the
- 2:21:08Neborees on the wall and like, like walk Sarah Choi and just
- 2:21:12like, what the fuck is this, you know?
- 2:21:15Welcome to my podcast studio. Yeah.
- 2:21:18That's the kind of struggle that nobody fucking understands.
- 2:21:21Yeah, they see the product. Yeah, when we look back at ours
- 2:21:24in the other office, we're like, OK, well, we were really doing
- 2:21:28it. Yeah, but like, it is what it
- 2:21:30is. I mean, this is just a room, you
- 2:21:31know what I mean? It's just a room.
- 2:21:33So you could. Do you could do this anywhere?
- 2:21:34It's just how you set it up. So I think that's going to be
- 2:21:37sick. That's like the next level right
- 2:21:38there. Yeah.
- 2:21:39I mean, I don't know, you guys are, you guys are inspiring
- 2:21:42people. It's it, it's got to feel good.
- 2:21:44Like, do you get messages from people saying like, hey, I've
- 2:21:46been having a hard time. Like, I listen to the pod and it
- 2:21:50like, puts me in a good yeah. Like you I think.
- 2:21:52Carl does I people are scared of me.
- 2:21:54I get them sometimes and it it like it's my all my days aren't
- 2:22:01sunny either. So like you read a message like
- 2:22:05that sometimes and you're like fuck, like it.
- 2:22:09It gives you another reason to drive the hour to the studio
- 2:22:13every week, you know, to put on an episode or dude.
- 2:22:16I saw some shit happen the other week here with you.
- 2:22:18He he was having a bad time, dude.
- 2:22:20And, and we were doing a podcast and out of all people, I think
- 2:22:24it was Tom. Yeah, it was pretty fun.
- 2:22:27And Tom is usually ADD crazy stories, one story, the next
- 2:22:32story did it. That can't control him.
- 2:22:34But at the end of that podcast, he would.
- 2:22:36We were talking about Carl and his situation with no job and
- 2:22:39this and that. And he's like, yeah, I'm
- 2:22:40stressing right now. And I think Tom was like, Tom
- 2:22:42was like, dude, I'm like jealous of your life.
- 2:22:45Yeah, he's like, you get to do what you want to do and you just
- 2:22:49kind of skipped that like grinded out part.
- 2:22:52Yeah, which is really, people are looking at what you're doing
- 2:22:55right now and like getting inspired and stuff and like, it
- 2:22:57was kind of a moment, which is not Sam.
- 2:23:00Yeah. So that is another one of those
- 2:23:03friends where you're like. What the fuck?
- 2:23:06Like, how do you do what you do? And when he tells his story,
- 2:23:11that's somebody who sacrifices their time period.
- 2:23:18Yeah, he's got a. Like if there's a task going on.
- 2:23:20If there is a task that needs to get done, Tom will get it done.
- 2:23:23Any of those, any of those Front St. guys will get them all done
- 2:23:26no matter what. It's for the love of the game.
- 2:23:28Man, it's insane. Like, and then, and then you
- 2:23:31just pick up your boots and you're like, all right, like
- 2:23:34what am I doing? Yeah, Tom's a good dude, man.
- 2:23:36Yeah, He's, he's a really good dude.
- 2:23:38What's your process to enter your flow state for AD reads?
- 2:23:44Why is this like? A So at first I, I, I'm still
- 2:23:54like terrified of the camera, like we tried to do like vlog
- 2:23:58shit and like fuck that Laura's like you're so awkward like.
- 2:24:03Like. What are you even trying to say?
- 2:24:05You know, And I'm just like, all right, this is it for me.
- 2:24:08I'll stick with the podcast and like, so a lot of the podcasts
- 2:24:13like to do the intros. I would have like 2 beers and I
- 2:24:16would just like sit in front of my computer and I had like my
- 2:24:18little webcam and I'd just be like, hey guys, welcome back to
- 2:24:22the goodest cast. Yeah, there we go.
- 2:24:23You know, blah, blah, whatever. Like I got another fucking sick
- 2:24:27one for you. They like just get crazy.
- 2:24:29And then I started just, I hate, I hate ads, but I'm like, I also
- 2:24:35like drifting and I like money. So I'm like, well, I got to do
- 2:24:39ads. How do I do them where I don't
- 2:24:42feel like I'm selling out? So I would get like kind of
- 2:24:45drunk and just not drunk. I would have like a couple beers
- 2:24:47and I would just say like there's I have done probably
- 2:24:52like 1500 tire streets ads because I'll do like 10 per
- 2:25:00episode. And like a lot of them get
- 2:25:03thrown out because I'll say some like crazy shit that comes into
- 2:25:07my head and I'm like. I gotta dial it back I.
- 2:25:12Should probably do this more like you do it because I I'd be
- 2:25:14saying shit and then we'll just send it and I'm like, I don't
- 2:25:17know if we should be saying shit like this.
- 2:25:18I have like so. I think This is why you're more
- 2:25:23successful. I don't know.
- 2:25:26I don't know how. To two more beers and then I'll
- 2:25:27give me an advertisement. Yeah.
- 2:25:29No, you're good, Carl. You're good.
- 2:25:30You're dialed. I don't know, I don't know what
- 2:25:32happens, but I, I get to a point where like crazy shit just comes
- 2:25:38into my head and I just start riffing and like, like, for the
- 2:25:43longest time I did it by myself. And then Laura would like sit in
- 2:25:47there and like set the camera up and just like make sure I'm
- 2:25:49framed or whatever. And then I would just try and
- 2:25:52make her laugh. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:25:54And I'm like, oh, she's laughing.
- 2:25:55Then it's. Like you know why ad reads are
- 2:25:56easier for us? Because we don't film them.
- 2:25:59We just do audio. Just audio, Yeah.
- 2:26:02I mean like, I'm like trying to look at the camera and be like.
- 2:26:04Yeah, I feel like that's why it's harder.
- 2:26:06Buy some tires for your baby Mama.
- 2:26:09Like those like, you know, and they're just people are like,
- 2:26:11what the fuck is this, you know and like.
- 2:26:14People don't understand how hard that.
- 2:26:16Is to do it is annoying as fuck. Making sexual innuendos about
- 2:26:19fuel pumps and like, just like, I don't know dude.
- 2:26:23We appreciate that. Yeah, I.
- 2:26:25Don't think you. Should have stopped the vlogs
- 2:26:26dude. I never did one.
- 2:26:28Well, I thought, well, if you do get into it, don't think that
- 2:26:31you're awkward, dude, fuck. Don't be awkward.
- 2:26:35Yeah, so are we. Yeah, I mean like you.
- 2:26:37Can have a successful podcast like you do and be awkward.
- 2:26:39It's like you that's that's a. It's a them, you just got to
- 2:26:44picture them naked. Like what?
- 2:26:46I'm just. Saying like no.
- 2:26:48I'm just kidding. But I don't know, I wouldn't
- 2:26:50worry about that. But in the I don't like vlogs
- 2:26:52like I I don't. Watch them.
- 2:26:54So I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
- 2:26:55Yeah, I I can't do that shit. Have the time.
- 2:26:57Beers and let that shit flow. Dude, when I watch that Jimmy
- 2:27:00Oaks video, I'm like, this guy's my hero because I'm not ever
- 2:27:03doing this shit. But I know that's how you make
- 2:27:06money on YouTube. He's locked in.
- 2:27:07He's very locked in. But like, yeah, for example,
- 2:27:10like the Flash VM stuff with that shit, like.
- 2:27:13Oh my gosh, I love. This I just, but a lot of that
- 2:27:16time, I don't know. I just like weird shit comes in
- 2:27:20my head and I just say it. Yeah.
- 2:27:21And like, Aaron always has to be able to like, shove a camera in
- 2:27:24my face. He's got it.
- 2:27:25We've had a couple beers and like, some like something.
- 2:27:28But like, lately I haven't been drinking and I've been doing the
- 2:27:31ads and they're like a lot more coherent.
- 2:27:34OK, not not coherent. They're like a lot more.
- 2:27:36They're a little more polished. And I'm not like being as crazy
- 2:27:41I guess. Is that age showing?
- 2:27:43No. I think I'm just like being more
- 2:27:45professional which sucks. Like I want to just be weird,
- 2:27:49but I feel like I owe it to them to like actually try and.
- 2:27:52Yeah, dude, it's not. You're worried about selling
- 2:27:54out, but like, yeah, you're running.
- 2:27:57It is a business. Drew Fishbein like the old
- 2:28:00school OMG drift dude shout out Drew he he's like the social
- 2:28:04media dude for tire streets. And he was like, hey, we're
- 2:28:06going to do an ad for LZ World Tour that's going to go on the
- 2:28:10live stream and on the, like, video wall.
- 2:28:12You're like, oh fuck. And he's like, can you just do
- 2:28:15one of your ads from the good as cast and like, send it to me for
- 2:28:20that? I sent him 45 minutes of me just
- 2:28:25talking about tire streets and like aliens and being abducted
- 2:28:29and like. What did he do with that?
- 2:28:33What did he do with cut it down to like 30 seconds?
- 2:28:36And it was like, he cut out all the craziest shit and he's like,
- 2:28:39I want to use all this so bad, but I can't.
- 2:28:42Like this is the part that I can use.
- 2:28:43And then I guess they sent it to LZ World Tour and they were
- 2:28:47like, absolutely fucking not like, like we are not, we're not
- 2:28:52using this. And Drew was so sad.
- 2:28:53And I was like kind of sad too, because I'm like, it would have,
- 2:28:56it would have been really funny. But yeah, that's some.
- 2:28:58Damn it. Some TS lore.
- 2:29:01They only, they only let me record one ad and I came in here
- 2:29:04and did the same thing. I had a beer and then read off.
- 2:29:08What is it maybe? You did AG1AD I.
- 2:29:10Did AG1AD. I can't do like, I mean, I'll,
- 2:29:12I'll read it, but I'm not the I'm kind of like dyslexic.
- 2:29:15It's hard to, Yeah, yeah. I usually like make a script of
- 2:29:17some sort and then I change it up as I go.
- 2:29:21But it's usually like me and Eddie are just sitting in here
- 2:29:23and I'm like, all right, let me go, let me go.
- 2:29:24And then I, I try to do it and fuck it up and then I do it
- 2:29:27again and again and again. And I'm like, dude, you got it.
- 2:29:29Just figure it out. Just it makes something out of
- 2:29:31that. I usually like the thing that I
- 2:29:33hate about doing the podcast the most is setting up and sitting
- 2:29:37down and doing the intros and the ads and like some of the
- 2:29:40editing and like. You should let her edit the ads.
- 2:29:46She does. OK, because if you do it, you're
- 2:29:49never going to think it's good. Yeah, I'll just, and, and like,
- 2:29:53the best part is like, Laura's not helping with the podcast
- 2:29:57anymore because she's got a job and she's like doing a bunch of
- 2:29:59other shit. But it was really nice to like,
- 2:30:04hear her like editing down the ads and like laughing in the
- 2:30:07other room. And I was like, OK.
- 2:30:08I was. Like, Oh yeah, I think we, I
- 2:30:10think we got some good shit so. That's funny.
- 2:30:13There's sometimes where we can get Malcolm to laugh.
- 2:30:16That's when you know it was good.
- 2:30:17That's when you know that joke was a Ripper.
- 2:30:19When you could wake him up, Yeah.
- 2:30:21How you doing? Malc doing.
- 2:30:22All right. He's like, this podcast sucks
- 2:30:25dude give me the fuck out of here.
- 2:30:27Yeah, we're almost done, Malcolm, don't worry.
- 2:30:28There's been a laugh out of Malcolm in a few pods though.
- 2:30:30I was laughing today. He was laughing today, Yeah.
- 2:30:33That was good. Oh, OK, nice.
- 2:30:34Cool, what are Palmer's plans with the S14?
- 2:30:36What? I have an S14 I didn't know this
- 2:30:39in. Japan, yeah.
- 2:30:40Okay. Yeah, it's really sick.
- 2:30:43It's got a racing line. Love it or hate it, that's what
- 2:30:45it came with. It's.
- 2:30:48Not it's not in style right now. Trouble for this?
- 2:30:50Or no People, people. People are hating on Racing
- 2:30:54line. I thought it was cool when I saw
- 2:30:57it when it came out. The origin arrow goes through
- 2:30:59trends. It's fucking annoying, like.
- 2:31:02I thought a racing line looked so cool.
- 2:31:05I mean. That's because you're late,
- 2:31:07dude. Like that that red car outside
- 2:31:09that has racing line, That car could look pretty sick.
- 2:31:12Yeah, kooky S14 racing line like it's on like work XS as it's
- 2:31:19it's a really cool car like you know.
- 2:31:22Yeah, OK. What are your plans?
- 2:31:24I'm going to go to Japan and drift it next week.
- 2:31:27Yeah, I'm going in three weeks. How is the tundra doing cross
- 2:31:32country? Sounds like it's doing pretty
- 2:31:33good fucking. Tank God I'm jealous.
- 2:31:35God, I love that truck. That thing is actually, I love
- 2:31:38that fucking goddamn truck. Sorry.
- 2:31:40That's good. I mean, I never really was into
- 2:31:43Japanese trucks, but sounds like you're.
- 2:31:46That shit is made in Texas. Well, it's still a Japanese
- 2:31:49though. It is.
- 2:31:49It is made in Texas. Yeah, I, I mean, I don't know
- 2:31:54that that's, I got the Forerunner and I towed like a
- 2:31:57billion miles with it and it sucked and it was, but it was
- 2:32:01bulletproof. And I was like, well, why would
- 2:32:03I change that, you know? Yeah, that's right.
- 2:32:06You did have a third Gen. or no 4th. 4th Gen., 4th Gen.
- 2:32:10V8 fourth Gen. yeah. I love this. 1E36 and load like
- 2:32:14load it up. Wow.
- 2:32:15Palmer's E36 is just a JZX with 1000 extra steps.
- 2:32:21As Walmer calls it, a J. ZI.
- 2:32:23Said that earlier when I was on the lime rack, he's like, I love
- 2:32:26it. Oh man, this thing's like cool.
- 2:32:28Somehow even though I was an E36, I'm like that's just
- 2:32:31because I tried to make it look like a J ZX2 doors.
- 2:32:34Yeah. That was simple, Smith, just so
- 2:32:37you know. Nice.
- 2:32:39Good. Job.
- 2:32:43OK. Did the What have you noticed
- 2:32:46driving wise coming from West to east?
- 2:32:51Is. There a difference with drivers.
- 2:32:53Like driving with people or like crossing the country and.
- 2:32:59Like what do the people look like?
- 2:33:00Like normal drivers you're talking about maybe?
- 2:33:03Or are they talking about me driving across the?
- 2:33:05Country. I'm thinking Drifters.
- 2:33:08Everybody talks a lot of shit here, but they're all super
- 2:33:12helpful and and like they act they they like they're going to
- 2:33:17call people out. I feel like I'm especially like
- 2:33:21coming from like Socal. Like Socal people don't really
- 2:33:23like talk shit to each other. No, just behind your back.
- 2:33:26Not bad, like it's just not like a damn.
- 2:33:29Frankie. I don't know every, everyone
- 2:33:31from here. When we go over there, we think
- 2:33:33the LA area feels fake. Like that's the vibe not from
- 2:33:37necessarily the people that we know, but like.
- 2:33:41What do you? What do you?
- 2:33:42Mean there's a lot of good, there's a lot of good people
- 2:33:44down there and I really like the community.
- 2:33:46Like the garage speed kids are fucking awesome.
- 2:33:48Like, there's a lot of people doing cool shit.
- 2:33:52Being somebody who lived in Northern California and moved to
- 2:33:55Southern California, I definitely felt that.
- 2:33:57I know that's like a huge, like, hot take, but like, I don't
- 2:34:03think that, like Southern California, kind of like status
- 2:34:07seeking is like a good representation of the whole West
- 2:34:10Coast. Yeah, definitely.
- 2:34:12I think it's just part of the culture.
- 2:34:13Like, people really are a close to fame.
- 2:34:19And like, with that comes kind of like this, like weird kind of
- 2:34:22battle for status and yeah. It's such a weird area.
- 2:34:27It, yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot of like, I don't
- 2:34:30know, posturing and stuff like that, which I, I kind of
- 2:34:35understand, Like you, you have to do stuff to stand out there
- 2:34:39or you're just going to get trampled.
- 2:34:42But at the same time, I don't know, I think, yeah, like I was
- 2:34:48saying before, like it's there's a lot more pockets seems like on
- 2:34:53the eastern side of the US, like drifting seems to feel a lot
- 2:34:58more fluid. And there's a lot more like
- 2:35:01people floating around and people know this person there
- 2:35:04and people travel more to drive events.
- 2:35:06And there's a lot of tracks that you guys have access to that are
- 2:35:12a little bit further of a drive, but it's like on the West Coast,
- 2:35:15it's just like up and down. You know, there isn't like a lot
- 2:35:18of east and West like you guys have like you can be in Virginia
- 2:35:23and drive North and South and east and West.
- 2:35:25And there's something going on in a lot of directions.
- 2:35:27So it's easy for people to like congregate somewhere.
- 2:35:30I also think like club loose and the way that they handle kind of
- 2:35:35that like tough love energy is actually good for drifting and
- 2:35:40it like. Especially now I feel like yeah.
- 2:35:43Yeah, yeah, like that's a necessity and I think that's
- 2:35:45something missing on the West Coast.
- 2:35:49Yeah, those are all good things I like.
- 2:35:51That I wonder, well, you got a one on Saturday is going to give
- 2:35:55you a hard time about something and you're going to experience.
- 2:35:58I think he's going to love it. What are you fucking dumb?
- 2:36:01I've had that somebody yell. At Oh yeah, like if you fuck
- 2:36:03something up, yeah, you're in. The wrong grid line, and for
- 2:36:06some reason now you're getting chewed the fuck out because
- 2:36:08they're having a bad day. Yeah.
- 2:36:10I'm just. I'm just a dumb California guy,
- 2:36:12dude. I don't.
- 2:36:13Know you're like, OK, I guess I'll bring that right now it's.
- 2:36:15My first, I mean that happens like I went to a track in
- 2:36:19Arizona and I was it was my first time at the track and I
- 2:36:23like drifted a corner that you're not supposed to drift for
- 2:36:26no fucking reason. That muscleman and the guy's
- 2:36:30like, don't you fucking know you?
- 2:36:32How many times have you been here?
- 2:36:33You know, I'm like, it's my first time here.
- 2:36:36Like there was no drivers meeting like.
- 2:36:38What are you talking about? There's one thing about the West
- 2:36:40Coast. I mean, there's never drivers
- 2:36:41meetings, but that might, that might depend on the track.
- 2:36:44I don't know. Yeah, I yeah, you guys take,
- 2:36:47Yeah, you guys take drivers meeting like like Nick Swan,
- 2:36:51like runs a fucking drivers meeting.
- 2:36:53Like on the West Coast. Like I can't really think of an
- 2:36:58event series, especially at ABS, Like they'll have a drive to me.
- 2:37:01Like, OK, guys like you know what to do.
- 2:37:04Don't cause any problems. That is where Frankie first got
- 2:37:07that hit, where he was like we were, where are the flaggers?
- 2:37:11I was like, where is the flag? Yeah, I was at the first turn
- 2:37:14and I was like, someone spun or some shit.
- 2:37:16And then people were coming. I was like, yo, this is nuts.
- 2:37:19And then like they'd hit the slam on the brakes right at the
- 2:37:21last minute. I'm like.
- 2:37:22ABS the wild. West.
- 2:37:23Yeah, that's what we said. Yeah.
- 2:37:24We were like, this is the Wild West.
- 2:37:26I never really noticed the drivers meeting thing until you
- 2:37:29brought it up just now because dude, if you missed, Oh my God,
- 2:37:33dude, if you missed the fucking E town drivers meeting in the
- 2:37:36morning and you don't find who was running that shit like you
- 2:37:39might not drive if you're new there.
- 2:37:42Yeah, like that shit was always like, you had to be there.
- 2:37:45Yeah, you guys, you guys take stuff a little more.
- 2:37:48It's because of Raceway Park that that track is a pain in the
- 2:37:52ass to to because of the New Jersey State Police, everything.
- 2:37:55I don't know why New Jersey is like that with Motorsports, but
- 2:37:58it's not easy. So they take it really serious
- 2:38:01because of that. That was probably why that was
- 2:38:04started like that, I feel like. But it also might have just been
- 2:38:07like, yo, we got to make sure these guys know what the fuck
- 2:38:09they're doing. It worked.
- 2:38:10Yeah, definitely works. It does work though, like having
- 2:38:13the classes that people have to like earn.
- 2:38:15Like that doesn't exist on the West Coast.
- 2:38:17That's not a thing. Yeah, and just track etiquette
- 2:38:19as a whole. They yelled at us so.
- 2:38:22Much, Yeah. Like our track etiquette is so
- 2:38:24good. If you come from club Blues like
- 2:38:26you, you do not fuck around at other tracks.
- 2:38:29But then you'll know right away if someone came from somewhere
- 2:38:31else because they're just like they don't give a fuck about
- 2:38:33anything. We'll never leave tires.
- 2:38:35We don't leave garbage. Yeah.
- 2:38:37Like those are the things that Club loose instilled.
- 2:38:39And we'll always wait. Like if you don't know if you
- 2:38:42can go that way or not, it's like you'll ask and you're not
- 2:38:45gonna chance it and just fucking drive down some active fucking
- 2:38:48lane. So yeah, just shit like that I
- 2:38:51noticed. But I don't know, I haven't been
- 2:38:52to Florida yet so I can't really comment on the full.
- 2:38:54Florida, I don't know about that.
- 2:38:56We don't take Florida is not part.
- 2:38:58Of I can't wait for Florida to get some sort of circuit that's
- 2:39:02drifting, yes. Actually good.
- 2:39:04Yeah, well, cuz they have the skid pad over there at OSW and
- 2:39:07then I'm like they have Florida's such a big.
- 2:39:09State Florida is a big state, it's free as fuck and they don't
- 2:39:13have any tracks. Riddle me that.
- 2:39:14Like someone get on it right and they have a lot of drivers down.
- 2:39:17There they have a lot of drivers.
- 2:39:19That was like a snowbird state. Who wouldn't like?
- 2:39:21Drifting in. Florida.
- 2:39:22Yeah. Well, I don't know.
- 2:39:24Anywhere with palm trees. Every other 5 minutes like.
- 2:39:26Anywhere with palm trees? Awesome.
- 2:39:29Would would be sick to be drifting down there?
- 2:39:32When are you going to do a podcast with Jimmy?
- 2:39:35Yesterday, that's coming out. Yep, and this will be out.
- 2:39:41Tomorrow or Friday or Friday, the.
- 2:39:43Jimmy One's not coming out for a minute.
- 2:39:44There you go. Well, there's a Jimmy one.
- 2:39:46Look out for it on on Commerce page.
- 2:39:48That's another reason, because you got to edit all this shit
- 2:39:50like you're the one doing everything.
- 2:39:51So, yeah, and now you have your mobile.
- 2:39:53Office, I got to set the camera up yeah forgot to turn the
- 2:39:55fucking light on for the first like 3 minutes and I was like
- 2:39:59Jimmy's like telling me about his birth and I got to go turn
- 2:40:02the fucking and. What?
- 2:40:05No, I didn't. They didn't.
- 2:40:08So I got out of the womb and. Is there a?
- 2:40:11Started drifting is. There a minimum height
- 2:40:13requirement to be on animal style.
- 2:40:15No. OK wait, Jamo might be the first
- 2:40:18one that's not mega tall or no? I don't think Ryan Tall is he.

- 2:42:40Yeah, how often am I going to get to sit in?
- 2:42:44Yeah, the actual fashion and yeah.
- 2:42:46Yeah, it made sense. This shop, by the way, if you
- 2:42:49haven't been here, like fucking come here.
- 2:42:50The shop is sick. This is like the one of the
- 2:42:53cool, one of, if not the coolest shops I've ever been to.
- 2:42:57Like what they did in the last couple years is just like on
- 2:43:02real dude. Thank you man.
- 2:43:03So cool. Just Frankie's brainchild dude.
- 2:43:06Like everything in there. The way those racks are set.
- 2:43:09Like everything Frankie that reminds.
- 2:43:11Me dude, I have a video of what this looked like before and I
- 2:43:15never did the after. I think tomorrow I'm going to do
- 2:43:17the after. You got to do the after.
- 2:43:18Dude. And then post that yes, because
- 2:43:20I don't know why I didn't do that yet.
- 2:43:21Yes, this is This shop is so sick.
- 2:43:24Yeah, I got to do that. Thank you, by the way.
- 2:43:27It feels crazy to hear that from from people and especially
- 2:43:29people like you on animal style and doing your own cool shit
- 2:43:33over there. It's like it means a lot.
- 2:43:34So and I never, I never really stop and smell the roses.
- 2:43:38So when situations like this happen, then I'm like, OK, let
- 2:43:41me take it in a little bit. Got to stop and smell the roses.
- 2:43:44Yeah. Can you, what is this?
- 2:43:48Can you break down the I'm not reading that after driving
- 2:43:52various SR20 cars, would you still do A1J car if you could
- 2:43:57start over? Like in the E36.
- 2:44:00I guess. I guess you could put Sr.
- 2:44:03E30. No, I mean, I'm going to do Sr.,
- 2:44:05I'm going to do as Chazy. Yeah.
- 2:44:08That's the combo. You know, there's like there's
- 2:44:10formulas that work really well and I, I think the Jay-Z in the
- 2:44:16E36 works really well. Like it's balanced.
- 2:44:20It's a tank. You have a very strong chassis
- 2:44:23like capable engine and a chassis that can take abuse like
- 2:44:26I have done a lot of driving because of that combination.
- 2:44:32But it's a similar motor to the original one that was in their
- 2:44:34car. Right, it was engineered with A6
- 2:44:36cylinder in it. Yeah, like it's like I put it on
- 2:44:39scales. At one point it was 5050, so
- 2:44:42wow. The ultimate driving machine.
- 2:44:45Some will say, some will heavily disagree.
- 2:44:49Yes, seriously. Dude when I bought that and
- 2:44:52posted it in the animal style Facebook group like people were
- 2:44:58like what the fuck man. We're an S chassis team.
- 2:45:02Yeah, I would be bummed if someone came with that shit.
- 2:45:04I'd be like, Frankie would fucking do well.
- 2:45:06Yeah, aneurysm because of that shit I feel.
- 2:45:08Like but it worked out. Yeah, I tried my best.
- 2:45:10Let's yeah, yeah, I will eventually bring the S14 to the
- 2:45:15US and I may like put the E36 like away and drive the 14 with
- 2:45:21the team or something. I don't know.
- 2:45:22I don't know what's in the future.
- 2:45:24It depends on what job. I get, yeah.
- 2:45:27That's so fucking. Real Why are big stupid Chrome 3
- 2:45:31piece wheels the goodest? Dude, I fucking wish I had one
- 2:45:35piece wheels on the mountain really well because you're doing
- 2:45:39so much clutch dancing and E brake.
- 2:45:42I was like, I'm going to blow some shit up like and I was
- 2:45:45having to release the clutch so slow because it was just like I
- 2:45:48could feel the diff like moving in the subframe like I'm like if
- 2:45:55I didn't have like 500 LB fucking Chrome on the back right
- 2:45:59now that's. Going to be sick.
- 2:46:00The photos though, yeah, it's going to be worth it.
- 2:46:02Yeah, for the most part, like, I don't know, fucking Chrome looks
- 2:46:06sick. It does. 3 pieces are cool.
- 2:46:09I like I like being able to rebuild them.
- 2:46:11I like building wheels. I don't know, it's a weird
- 2:46:15thing. One piece like you got to get
- 2:46:20like the right one piece and it's got to be like really well
- 2:46:23picked out for the car. And I think 3 piece if you get
- 2:46:29like the right size, it's pretty easy to like set a car off it
- 2:46:33like especially right now anyway I.
- 2:46:37Don't I just like, I like the lip a little bit, Yeah.
- 2:46:40Like not too much, but definitely the shininess when
- 2:46:44it's spinning. Yeah, I like 3 piece wheels too.
- 2:46:47I'm always like, I'm going to, I'm going to do a car on mono
- 2:46:50blocks and then I'll see like 3 piece over that car on three
- 2:46:53piece. I'm like, Nah, you got to, you
- 2:46:55got to go that way, I guess. Something about having like lips
- 2:46:58and the Chrome and all the different, like, I don't know,
- 2:47:01there's just like a lot going. On you had some weird ones
- 2:47:03lately, the Benz ones. Oh are.
- 2:47:07They look like Ben's wheels. Those are work.
- 2:47:10Are they really? Yeah.
- 2:47:11Word. They look like Yogi might have
- 2:47:13those they. Look like AMG.
- 2:47:15Yeah, wheels. I love it.
- 2:47:17I was. Like what the hell?
- 2:47:17Yeah. Like 3 piece AMG monoblocks,
- 2:47:20they're sick. I they're really cool.
- 2:47:22I'd found in Canada, I found like a pair of 17 inch fronts.
- 2:47:26I don't know what I'm going to do with those exactly.
- 2:47:29They like need a refresh and stuff but.
- 2:47:32Someone said the jump at Super D was sick as fuck.
- 2:47:34My kid was stoked watching you guys just as much as me jump.
- 2:47:39There's a jump there. Yeah, well, I think I did a
- 2:47:42jump. OK.
- 2:47:44Yeah. Wait.
- 2:47:47You could if you want to pull it up on my Yeah, it's like one of
- 2:47:50the last videos I posted. I don't know how to describe it
- 2:47:55other than I've got on throttle too early and went inside and.
- 2:48:02Oh, did you hit the little dip in the turn 1 or some shit and
- 2:48:06it just. I went on the inside of Turn 1
- 2:48:08and it's Scroll down, Scroll down.
- 2:48:13It's the right there on the left.
- 2:48:16I think it's that one. It's that one, yeah, the one
- 2:48:18where I'm in the air. Damn.
- 2:48:22The. Oh.
- 2:48:23OK, so you hit the inside, Yeah. The wheel.
- 2:48:26Look at the wheel. That wheel's still on my car,
- 2:48:29it's so good. Yeah, it looked like it was
- 2:48:31fucking. It's not great, I.
- 2:48:34Was. Going to say.
- 2:48:36I see. Something on it?
- 2:48:38Yeah. Good thing we didn't have to
- 2:48:39balance those. That's all I'm going to say.
- 2:48:41Yeah you can. That's those are the 2 front
- 2:48:43wheels that are on dude. That's that.
- 2:48:45You can see Palmer's whole head and neck go like.
- 2:48:48Yeah, dude, that's crazy. Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of
- 2:48:53people there. That was a big event, dude.
- 2:48:55Yeah, it was. It was really cool.
- 2:48:57I didn't get to drive a ton. I was having car issues but.
- 2:49:02I love that track too though, it's fun.
- 2:49:04Yeah. And especially for the driving
- 2:49:05you guys are doing like that, that's crazy.
- 2:49:08Yeah, I was like trying to explain to somebody that like
- 2:49:11fast tracks because they were like they were asking me about
- 2:49:14Polecat and stuff and I was like, I think like ABS the key,
- 2:49:21you know, because they want me to say it's the best track I've
- 2:49:23ever driven. And like ABS has a lot of the
- 2:49:26stuff that my team and I like. Like I think doing a really
- 2:49:33gnarly full blast like bumper initiation at ABS is just as
- 2:49:39scary as like Drift App. But it's like getting getting to
- 2:49:44that point at ABS is really difficult.
- 2:49:49Yeah. Like Drift app is just scary in
- 2:49:51general if that makes sense. Yeah.
- 2:49:53No, it does make sense, Yeah. What you do at AVS makes it
- 2:49:57scary, Yeah. Type, Yeah.
- 2:50:02We got to just pick some of these guys cuz this is this will
- 2:50:04go all night. Is Palmer on his own Slide
- 2:50:07America tour right now? Dude, kind of hard.
- 2:50:11No. I told Andy like this is cuz I
- 2:50:13bought the Tundra like 2 years ago because I've been wanting to
- 2:50:17do this trip for years. I was like, I want to like
- 2:50:21travel across the country and podcast people and go drifting
- 2:50:24and like that's my dream. I'm going to do it eventually.
- 2:50:27And it's turned into that. And I literally told Andy when I
- 2:50:32saw him in Georgia I was like this is your fault.
- 2:50:36And yeah I am. I'm making like a little GoPro
- 2:50:41filmed like video. I'm gonna.
- 2:50:43That's see that's gonna. Be I was just about to ask like,
- 2:50:45I really hope you got clips. I know you think that it might
- 2:50:48be awkward, but I think that. You oh, there's I got plenty of
- 2:50:51me talking to the GoPro in the truck.
- 2:50:54Yeah, yeah, I had plenty of time and a lot of it's probably super
- 2:50:58cringe, but. It's you should do the add
- 2:51:00reads. While you're driving the truck
- 2:51:02with the Jimmy one. Yeah, that's good.
- 2:51:04That's not bad. Hey, everybody.
- 2:51:06Yeah. Hey, dude.
- 2:51:07Oh. Look at that, you should do
- 2:51:09that. That would actually that would
- 2:51:10be my. Problem We'll be like we're
- 2:51:12trying to read an advertisement. We pass something cool and I'll
- 2:51:14go. Oh well, look.
- 2:51:15At that, just so everyone knows the questions, I'm skipping
- 2:51:17who's got the biggest animal on team style, shit like that.
- 2:51:20Yeah, I think everybody's fucking packing heat, honestly.
- 2:51:23Oh, OK. Yeah, I think it's.
- 2:51:25I think it's a anyway. 6 foot tall man 62.
- 2:51:30Why I like this question. Why are no livery teams becoming
- 2:51:33popular? Is it laziness or is it some
- 2:51:35kind of meta move? What is that?
- 2:51:40Like some kind of unknown, like I don't know, like is it a thing
- 2:51:43that's going on that like some people don't know what's?
- 2:51:45About meta move. What is meta Malcolm?
- 2:51:49It's like. It's not a money move.
- 2:51:51It's like it's it's like, you know, like when you're playing
- 2:51:55Call of Duty and everybody uses the same gun, like that gun is
- 2:51:58the meta that's going to. Oh, it's like the trend.
- 2:52:02Yeah. It's like that that's gonna.
- 2:52:03Get you there's like. Thank you.
- 2:52:04Very much definitely not what meta means, but.
- 2:52:06Yeah, I don't think. That's the meta that I know in
- 2:52:09the gaming sense. Yeah, that, that checks out.
- 2:52:13I don't know, like, do what makes you happy, man.
- 2:52:17Yeah. Fucking if you don't want a
- 2:52:19livery, don't do 1. And probably don't do one.
- 2:52:22Honestly, is probably the right answer because there's only.
- 2:52:24I mean, I don't know. I think you got to, I think you
- 2:52:26got to earn those stripes. Yeah.
- 2:52:27And you have to like pick the right person doing it.
- 2:52:29And yeah, so that's your. That's your that's your
- 2:52:32motorcycle getting cut. Yeah.
- 2:52:34You can't, just can't just like make one.
- 2:52:37I don't know. You got to go, like, you gotta
- 2:52:39be about it. Yeah, livery is like earned, I
- 2:52:42think. Joshua Lee says what's
- 2:52:43everyone's thoughts on E10? I don't know what the fuck that
- 2:52:46is so. E10 is Dick dude.
- 2:52:48It's terrible. No.
- 2:52:49Did you hear what I said? What E10 is Dick?
- 2:52:52E10 This Dick E. 10 this Dick. What the fuck?
- 2:52:56What is that? OK, so it's an inside joke
- 2:52:59there's. No way, no way.
- 2:53:01It's a coop thing dude. No, we're a pole cat.
- 2:53:05We're like at the Airbnb. E10 Dick.
- 2:53:10So fucking Josh's friend Rob got got PJ Pendergrass so good with
- 2:53:20this. We were like crying, laughing,
- 2:53:22no. Way Rob is a savage.
- 2:53:24Yeah, and P JS, he's just, he's a sweet dude, you know, he like
- 2:53:27did not see it coming and like like fully, genuinely from the
- 2:53:33bottom of his heart was like. What's E10?
- 2:53:36You know, I was just like eating these nuts and everybody just
- 2:53:41like. Oh, you got me too so.
- 2:53:43Yeah. Thanks, Josh.
- 2:53:45All right. That's pretty much it.
- 2:53:49I mean, if you want to, if you were a female, would you let the
- 2:53:52homies hit? What?
- 2:53:54Those are the other questions. Is that a yes or no?
- 2:53:57Your fucking listeners are cooked.
- 2:53:58Yeah. They're all perma fried.
- 2:54:00They're all really awesome, but all perma fried.
- 2:54:02Also I like the one someone sent one and it's just a spider man
- 2:54:06meme pointing at each other so that's pretty sick.
- 2:54:10We'll end it on that. I'm trying to think of the other
- 2:54:12saying that somebody got me with our friend Bailey was like,
- 2:54:15there's no other fast food restaurants that start with AW
- 2:54:18aside from Whataburger and then think, think, what's another
- 2:54:24one? Wendy's.
- 2:54:25Wendy's nuts at your mind and I. Was like.
- 2:54:30Fuck. You dude, I hate you so much.
- 2:54:32Wendy's. OK.
- 2:54:35Yeah, that's that's a sign that we're done with this.
- 2:54:38Palmer, thank you so much for stopping by and having a
- 2:54:40conversation with us what that means so much.
- 2:54:43This was a good one. The fact that the guy that
- 2:54:46inspired us to do the. That's why I asked you, because
- 2:54:48I was like, I'm pretty sure. Yeah.
- 2:54:51I had no idea. I thought you guys were just
- 2:54:53like, yeah, we want to do a fucking.
- 2:54:54Thing now we ripped your shit, dude, Yeah.
- 2:54:56We ripped the idea because I was like, there's a lot of, there's
- 2:55:00a lot of cool people in our area.
- 2:55:03Yeah, that I don't have access. To that people don't get to talk
- 2:55:07to or see or hear from. Yeah, not like we thought that
- 2:55:10it was gonna get big. I thought it was like it's
- 2:55:12possible it would be good for marketing the shop.
- 2:55:15Yeah, that's where I that's where I like got.
- 2:55:17There and it. Probably.
- 2:55:18Was it was. Yeah, it was great.
- 2:55:20Yeah, people. Were like, oh, these guys are
- 2:55:21funny and they know what the fuck they're talking about.
- 2:55:23I'm gonna bring my car there. Yeah, well, and it and the
- 2:55:26ordering parts online, like people want to order parts from
- 2:55:28people they know. Yeah.
- 2:55:30So that that helps too, because would you rather order from here
- 2:55:33or would you rather order from so and so website where you
- 2:55:35don't know anyone, you don't even know the face of the, you
- 2:55:38don't know who runs the business, you don't know
- 2:55:39anything. Carbon fiber hoods.com.
- 2:55:42Yeah, there's ones like that. Yeah, I'm thinking of like I'm
- 2:55:44thinking more name, yeah, more well known ones in the drifting
- 2:55:47community. But yeah, yeah.
- 2:55:49It's just support people that like you, I don't know, all of
- 2:55:53us are just trying to do the same thing.
- 2:55:54Yeah. You know, And it's like you're
- 2:55:55putting all this extra effort into like creating a, a way to
- 2:56:00be able to afford to do the thing that you like.
- 2:56:02Like we're all the same. We're all the same.
- 2:56:04Like you're working overtime or whatever to try and get like
- 2:56:08tires to like make the next event.
- 2:56:10Like we're adding this extremely complicated thing to our lives,
- 2:56:16trying to entertain you so that we can maybe make a couple bucks
- 2:56:20to like be able to go drifting more.
- 2:56:22Like it's, it's the same, you know?
- 2:56:24It's the same shit so. This has support your friends my
- 2:56:27whole thing back into wanting to drift and it.
- 2:56:32Yeah. Flip this shit upside down.
- 2:56:35Spent so much money, now it's all gone and now I don't have a
- 2:56:39job like. This guy started a whole Body
- 2:56:42Shop basically because of this podcast.
- 2:56:43Dude, we started this pod. I had an office job.
- 2:56:47Then I talked to person after person.
- 2:56:49They're like, man, I love what I do.
- 2:56:51Yeah, and they're like. Shoot for your goals for.
- 2:56:53It And then I got laid off and I was like, fuck yeah.
- 2:56:56And then I'm laid off and I'm like, well, yeah, like, that's
- 2:56:59cool, I guess. So if people want to check out
- 2:57:01your podcast, if they're new, if they haven't heard of it, if.
- 2:57:04They live under a rock. Yeah, they're going to go to the
- 2:57:07goodest cast. Check out the goodest cast.
- 2:57:08Also, the website seems to have parts.
- 2:57:10Yeah, I'm, that's, that's in the mix, OK.
- 2:57:14It's something I'm trying out. It's like a new thing for me.
- 2:57:18I'm trying to figure out how cuz like drifting's drifting's big,
- 2:57:22but it's also small, you know? And there's like the podcast is
- 2:57:26only going to get as big as drifting is at the time, you
- 2:57:30know? And like we're trying to figure
- 2:57:34out how to make it make sense to make the thing keep going.
- 2:57:39Like, like we were talking about earlier, like you guys do this
- 2:57:41shit for the culture. Like you're not making.
- 2:57:43Yeah, that's money doing this. Like I'm not making money doing
- 2:57:48this. Like it all goes back into it.
- 2:57:50And because of that, like, you know, you got to like try other
- 2:57:53stuff. And I mean, that's, that's like
- 2:57:58a logical progression. Is it going to work?
- 2:58:00I'm already trying to decide if it's worth it, worth it and like
- 2:58:05the amount of energy that it's going to take to like do that.
- 2:58:08Or do I just try and do the best I can with the podcast?
- 2:58:11So far it's been cool. It was like a really fun project
- 2:58:14to try and build out, like a ecommerce store that's not just
- 2:58:18like merch, you know? There's a lot to it, categories,
- 2:58:21all this other stuff. I learned so much.
- 2:58:24And yeah, I don't know, you guys, if you're listening to
- 2:58:29this podcast, you're definitely going to buy stuff from Faction,
- 2:58:31and they're way more established than I'm like, what are their
- 2:58:34shit? Together, I mean, you got your
- 2:58:35own listeners too that listen to your shit religiously and then
- 2:58:37they'll be like, oh, I can buy some shit from them.
- 2:58:39OK, cool. Like same thing with Jimmy Oaks.
- 2:58:41He does the same thing kind. Of yeah, I definitely stole that
- 2:58:44concept from Jimmy. I was like, oh, that's pretty
- 2:58:47smart. If it's a concept Jimmy came up
- 2:58:49with, it's definitely works really good.
- 2:58:51Yeah. Yeah, that guy is intelligent as
- 2:58:53hell. He is a smart guy and you can
- 2:58:56check him out on the goodest cast.
- 2:58:59When it comes out, I. Think that's the next one
- 2:59:00eventually or. I I've done, I'm gonna do a few
- 2:59:04on this trip, OK? And I'm gonna put them in order
- 2:59:06of what I think they should be. And yeah, but I guess because
- 2:59:10people know about it, I should probably put that one out
- 2:59:12sooner. Yeah, yeah, probably.
- 2:59:13I think of like other people in there.
- 2:59:15Did you do one with Josh yet? So Josh and I are planning on I
- 2:59:19wanna do it with Tom also hopefully Josh and Tom.
- 2:59:22But we were talking about doing like a post couple drift event
- 2:59:26recap cuz obviously we got the E10 moment we gotta like.
- 2:59:33Yo if you guys please use our studio man.
- 2:59:37Yeah. Yeah, dude, I want, I want
- 2:59:38someone to use it. Yeah, like someone else.
- 2:59:40Use it here dude. That going to that going to pay
- 2:59:43your engineer. No, dude, you're going to, we're
- 2:59:45not even going to have him doing it.
- 2:59:47We're going to, if it's, if the timing works out and like if
- 2:59:51it's during the day, then he's busy.
- 2:59:54We're going to take him and we're going to we're going to
- 2:59:55film. OK.
- 2:59:56If it's at after, if it's after hours, then you're good because
- 2:59:59I'm just going to be doing whatever.
- 3:00:00And then so I don't know, I think if you can make it work
- 3:00:03tomorrow with Josh or something, we should do it.
- 3:00:05But. And we'll just film it, both
- 3:00:07cameras record it, and then we'll just send you that and you
- 3:00:09can do whatever you want. Damn, you know what I mean.
- 3:00:12Tom and Josh live near each other.
- 3:00:15Yeah, real near. And I think Josh is coming here
- 3:00:18tomorrow. I don't know if you guys even
- 3:00:19want to do a short thing for Patreon or something.
- 3:00:20You can do that too. I don't care.
- 3:00:21Whatever. Dude, it's yeah, it's really
- 3:00:25big, but small, so keep it small like yeah, we're just Frankie
- 3:00:29can help you out or even if shit, if there's fucking
- 3:00:32anything that I could fucking. Help.
- 3:00:34I mean, you literally inspired this podcast.
- 3:00:36So like, yeah, that's crazy. Our doors open.
- 3:00:38Dude, no idea. We could put up a different one.
- 3:00:41Yeah, no, 100% one. 1000. Percent.
- 3:00:43That's what I wanted to. Do good as Co in the font.
- 3:00:45Yeah, I literally wanted to do that.
- 3:00:46I wanted to have your thing. I was like, all right.
- 3:00:48That would be so cool. You should totally do that.
- 3:00:51I. Even I even invited dude, I
- 3:00:52invited other podcasts too, like the one I listened to, the
- 3:00:54motorcycle one. I'm like, yo, you're coming over
- 3:00:56here in this area, you're going to do podcast, come use our
- 3:00:59studio. I don't care.
- 3:01:00Like, yeah, because then you have a place and you could do it
- 3:01:02as comfortable. If they came here and saw this,
- 3:01:03they'd be like, oh, this is dope.
- 3:01:04Yeah, so, but yeah, I know you're, you know, it's a time
- 3:01:07thing, so we'll figure out if it works.
- 3:01:08But thank you again. Appreciate you, Palmer.
- 3:01:11Thanks for having me on. Yeah, see you.
- 3:01:14And good luck at Club Blues. Some days this weekend,

- 3:01:20This has been another episode of the Faction After Hours podcast.
- 3:01:23Check on your friends. We talked about that
- 3:01:26momentarily. Check on your friends.
- 3:01:27Make sure everybody's good and copacetic and see you on the
- 3:01:30next one. Peace, E10.
- 3:01:35You would have got me with that too.

- 3:01:45friendship. Oh. 100%.
- 3:02:19All righty then. The podcast almost got dark for
- 3:02:22a minute, but we brought it back.
- 3:02:23It almost got dark, brought it back down.
- 3:02:26But I do want to just reiterate, New Jersey has the least amount
- 3:02:29of suicides in the country, for the record.
- 3:02:32I think that's an awesome stat. State is lit the best state?
- 3:02:36We ain't giving up on nothing. Nothing, all right?
- 3:02:39Anyway, well, it finally happened.
- 3:02:41We got Palmer on the podcast, so.
- 3:02:43That was the goodest podcast there was.
- 3:02:46And I can't believe Carl. That was my plan.
- 3:02:48I was like, I'm going to ask Carl if he ripped this shit from
- 3:02:50the goodest guest and he he said he did basically so.
- 3:02:53Yeah, manned up. Yeah.
- 3:02:55I didn't know if he did for sure or not, but I, I remember like
- 3:02:58talking about that when we started our podcast.
- 3:02:59So that checks out, Palmer. So it's an inspiration.
- 3:03:03For us, yeah, Thank you, Palmer, for coming out and hanging out.
- 3:03:07Really awesome guy. The only time we see him is like
- 3:03:09that final ballot, so. Yeah, this was like the first
- 3:03:12time I met him. Yeah, so it was nice.
- 3:03:14I probably, yeah, just shook his hand in that final bout or
- 3:03:16something. That's about it.
- 3:03:17Yeah, first time we met him was at Toge Factory, I think during
- 3:03:21the final bout or something. But yeah, so awesome podcast.
- 3:03:25Thank you Palmer for coming out. Basically he won.
- 3:03:27He wanted to do his podcast, I think originally.
- 3:03:30And then I was like, yo, we're going to go out there at the end

- 3:03:35then yours at your place. And he's like, yeah, let's do
