  What's going on guys? Welcome back to another episode
• 0:03
  of Faction After Hours podcast. On today's episode we have Eric
• 0:07
  Ryan here with us. He is a photographer, automotive
• 0:10
  enthusiast, drifter, and just overall good person.
• 0:13
  He he lives real close to the shop.
• 0:16
  I've known him for the last three years.
• 0:17
  I believe he recently moved out here from the Midwest.
• 0:20
  So I want to say we were one of the first shops or group of
• 0:25
  people that he kind of met out here.
• 0:27
  So it's been an interesting few years watching him, you know,
• 0:32
  just become used to the Northeast and and start
• 0:36
  attending different events. He got a motorcycle a year ago.
• 0:40
  That was cool watching him build that.
• 0:42
  So yeah, we just, we had him come in and we talked a lot
• 0:45
  about photography in this episode, which is actually
• 0:47
  really awesome. We we, I think we dive more into
• 0:50
  photography than we ever have before.
• 0:52
  That being said, I do, I do just want to mention to you guys that
• 0:55
  there might, there might be like a 20 to 30 minute segment where
• 0:59
  we're just looking at photos. So what I'm going to have
• 1:01
  Malcolm do is post up the basically I I think it's like 5
• 1:05
  photos or so that we talk about in order.
• 1:08
  I'm going to have him throw those up on the Instagram in a
• 1:10
  post as this comes out today. And that way you guys could just
• 1:14
  go back and reference that if you're only listening to the
• 1:16
  audio segment. I didn't realize we were doing
• 1:19
  this until it was too late and I was like, hey, no one can see
• 1:22
  this, but yeah, if you haven't already checked us out on
• 1:26
  Spotify, we have video portions on there and also our YouTube.
• 1:29
  We post all of the podcasts on there as well.
• 1:32
  Let us know what you guys thought about this episode and
• 1:34
  enjoy. This podcast is sponsored by
• 1:37
  East Coast Drift School. East Coast Drift School is a
• 1:40
  driving school focused on learning the art of drifting,
• 1:43
  Conveniently located at the greatest drifting facility in
• 1:45
  the United States, Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ.
• 1:49
  Raceway Park currently has three tracks, so you will have a few
• 1:51
  options to choose from when setting up your lessons.
• 1:54
  Chris Knapp, who is part of the Raceway Park family, will be
• 1:56
  your teacher as he guides you through car setup and technique.
• 1:59
  If you are more of a seasoned driver, East Coast Drift School
• 2:02
  is also the place where you can get some extra seat time.
• 2:04
  Chris allows private track time with no instructing as well so
• 2:07
  that you can get some tests and tune runs in before that big
• 2:10
  event or competition you have coming up.
• 2:12
  Instead of spending the night dodging the police with your
• 2:14
  boys, consider signing up with East Coast Drift School the next
• 2:16
  time they release their schedule.
• 2:18
  Just releases the schedule on the 16th of every month through
• 2:21
  Instagram. Make sure to check them out,
• 2:23
  give them a follow and shoot over a direct message when you
• 2:25
  are ready to set up a date. You can find them on Instagram
• 2:28
  at East Coast Drift School. This podcast is also sponsored
• 2:31
  by Automotive Specialty Wraps. Looking to have your car ceramic
• 2:34
  coated or wrapped? Look no further than Automotive
• 2:37
  Specialty Wraps. ASW is a company specializing in
• 2:40
  paint protection, film, vehicle wraps, ceramic coatings and
• 2:43
  window tinting. Owned and operated by car
• 2:45
  enthusiasts and Drifters. Their technicians have over 10
• 2:48
  years of experience in the industry.
• 2:49
  They are located right off of Route 208 in Fairlawn, New
• 2:52
  Jersey. Other than window tinting, which
• 2:54
  is something we all need at some point, it was the ceramic
• 2:56
  coating that really caught my attention back when they reached
• 2:58
  out to us. This coating basically gives
• 3:00
  your cars paint extra UV protection while also making it
• 3:03
  shine. Wax only lasts a couple weeks at
• 3:06
  most, but ceramic coating lasts for a year or even longer.
• 3:10
  Honestly, this stuff is like witchcraft to me.
• 3:12
  Julian came down here one day to explain how it works and how it
• 3:15
  compares to wax and I was pretty stunned.
• 3:17
  They perform a full two stage Polish to the car beforehand
• 3:20
  just to make sure it's in perfect condition before
• 3:22
  applying the coating. As mentioned, they also offer
• 3:25
  window tinting and paint protection film installations.
• 3:27
  Now everyone knows what window tinting is, but these guys offer
• 3:30
  carbon or ceramic window tinting depending on your goals with the
• 3:34
  vehicle. Paint Protection film or PPF is
• 3:37
  a great idea for those new vehicle owners that don't want
• 3:39
  to watch their investment get littered with rock shifts.
• 3:42
  Also keep in mind they are capable of getting liveries
• 3:44
  designed and installed as well as full vehicle wraps.
• 3:48
  From protecting your tow rigs exterior to full livery
• 3:50
  installations on your drift car, they have you covered.
• 3:53
  They also recently added mobile washes.
• 3:57
  So the way they're doing this is they will post a story, there'll
• 3:59
  be a link in the story on their Instagram and you can click it
• 4:03
  where you will be able to enter your full address and it
• 4:07
  literally tells you the services they offer right there.
• 4:10
  It's pretty awesome. The options are just inside the
• 4:13
  car, just outside the car, inside and out, and then a full
• 4:17
  detail inside and out. So you click one of those and
• 4:21
  then it'll also give you some extras.
• 4:22
  You can choose if you got, you know, crazy amount of pet hair
• 4:25
  in the car, if you want, ceramic sealant, child seat cleaning,
• 4:31
  engine, Bay detail option. Wow.
• 4:35
  Yeah, there's a there's a bunch of options on here.
• 4:36
  It's actually really awesome. They just called and told us
• 4:40
  about this, so I wanted to add this to the podcast because this
• 4:45
  is, this is like something I didn't know that detail places
• 4:49
  did, but now that I see this, we're probably going to use them
• 4:51
  ourselves. So yeah, check this out.
• 4:54
  If you can't get to a car wash, or if you know if you're at work
• 4:57
  or something, I'm sure they'll be able to come by and help you
• 4:59
  out. You can contact them over at
• 5:02
  automotive specialtywraps.com and make sure they give them a
• 5:04
  follow on Instagram at automotive specialty wraps.
• 5:14
  What the fucking noise? The intro scared the shit out of
• 5:17
  me. It did scare them, yeah.
• 5:19
  Are you your? Laptop Your music's are you?
• 5:21
  Overlaying Are you watching your own pod while you're talking?

• 6:37
  So I really appreciate this. It's gonna be good.
• 6:40
  Happy to be here. And your specialty is like media
• 6:44
  and stuff obviously because if you if you've noticed some of
• 6:46
  the photos on the wall, Eric has actually taken some of these.
• 6:48
  Are there more than one that you?
• 6:50
  Just the one. Just the one.
• 6:52
  The one above Frankie's desk. That's my favorite photo.
• 6:55
  Is it really You could, I think, say that fully.
• 6:57
  Yeah. It's probably my favorite photo
• 6:59
  of your car, aside from that one you've taken on your phone where
• 7:01
  you can just see it. I don't know.
• 7:02
  What's the? Oh, in the parking lot or?
• 7:04
  Something, yeah. At Club Lose it was like, oh.
• 7:07
  Oh yeah, that was a good photo. But yeah, I don't.

  There's like the. The parking lot track, I think I
• 7:12
  remember. That, yeah, yeah, that one's
• 7:13
  good. Meanwhile, it's just a photo
• 7:14
  where Frankie's probably just. Like, if I posted it on my
• 7:18
  Instagram, I'd probably like it a lot.
• 7:20
  That's. Probably.
• 7:20
  I would hope that's what you're posting on your Instagram.
• 7:22
  I mean that's like the only way. For you to really know
• 7:25
  meaningful posts, yeah, yeah. When was the last time you
• 7:28
  posted on Instagram Frankie out of curiosity?
• 7:33
  October 22nd it was my motorcycle.

• 8:09
  of you to do that. I sent.
• 8:11
  I was like can you just send us photos you've taken?

  So we at least have that cuz we never get prepared for media
• 8:17
  people I feel like. I know there's so many things
• 8:20
  that I wish that we've like. I wish we're hopefully going to
• 8:23
  dive into them tonight because you did mention some of the
• 8:25
  things that you wanted to talk about.
• 8:26
  You also said you had some notes.
• 8:28
  So I hope we get through all of those.
• 8:29
  Let's just get through your notes, because we don't ever
• 8:31
  have any notes, me and Frankie. I hope people ask or still can't
• 8:35
  ask media related questions, whatever they may be.
• 8:38
  Yeah, they got to go on our Instagram and check out our
• 8:40
  story. Yeah, might as well say that

  Yeah, no, it's like Silverados with like 18 lbs of rust on
• 11:53
  them, man. I wish like Honda made AV 8 for
• 11:54
  that fucking Ridgeline dude. That would be fucking.
• 11:57
  Yeah. That would have been the shit,
• 11:59
  you know, the tailgate swings out like 20 different ways.
• 12:02
  The Maverick is the dumbest vehicle ever.
• 12:03
  Made. What is that?
• 12:04
  It's a car with a bed. When we were in Vegas.
• 12:06
  In El Camino. We rented 1.
• 12:09
  A Maverick. Yeah, did it help you at all in
• 12:11
  your travels? It got us around.
• 12:14
  It's a 2 liter turbo. That she would probably smoke
• 12:18
  you. Off the bed.
• 12:19
  With a bed. Yeah.
• 12:21
  Two liter turbo. I don't know.
• 12:24
  Dude, I want to still figure out why Eric moved here.
• 12:27
  Dude, he moved here because he's in love, man.
• 12:29
  So what, Does she have a job out here?
• 12:31
  So she originally is from Illinois as well, but her
• 12:34
  parents moved here because of, you know, opportunities and
• 12:38
  career paths, things of that nature.
• 12:40
  So we had not even met till I had already or she had already
• 12:44
  moved like we were talking online.
• 12:48
  How do you guys meet? Through Instagram?
• 12:50
  Really. Yeah.
• 12:51
  You slid in the DMS. You slid in my DMS, Hey.
• 12:54
  Yo, go get her. Attitude.
• 12:55
  I need to meet Lauren and if I did, I feel like a Dick and.
• 12:58
  She's the one who made the lemon bars.
• 13:00
  Yeah, fuck, she'll appreciate that.
• 13:05
  Well, OK, that's. Those were gone that night.
• 13:07
  Really. That's interesting.
• 13:08
  And yeah, and I don't even really eat lemon flavored
• 13:10
  things. And I was like kind of dogging
• 13:12
  them on the pod, which was funny.
• 13:14
  Yeah, like I was just. And they.
• 13:17
  Here's Here's one thing, though, I did leave here covered in
• 13:19
  crumbs, yeah. Like I had them.
• 13:21
  Like they do that. Yeah, they're messy.
• 13:24
  But so she bakes, Yeah. Specifically lemon bars.
• 13:28
  Oh fuck, I was going to say. Lauren, I know you're listening.
• 13:31
  And oh. No, no, no.
• 13:32
  No, I like chocolate chip cookies.
• 13:33
  OK, maybe she'll write in the chat, yeah.
• 13:36
  Don't. Are you bribing customers?
• 13:38
  Yes, I'm 100% bribing her. That's incredible.
• 13:41
  She she wasn't good too, she said.
• 13:43
  Did she? Yeah.
• 13:44
  Well, what's she need done on the car?
• 13:46
  Fucking. Takes the oil change to a local
• 13:50
  place where her parents live. Out West.
• 13:52
  This sounds bad. I think they just stripped the
• 13:54
  drain plug but but but it still seals but also the pan itself.
• 13:59
  The lower pan is like kind of rusted.
• 14:01
  So it's time. Yeah, just replace it.
• 14:03
  I already bought it. Oh, good.
• 14:05
  Boom. There you go.
• 14:06
  There's another tip to do it. There's another.
• 14:08
  Tip and trick. Don't buy your own parts before
• 14:10
  you come here. The weather's perfect for
• 14:13
  working on the car right now. If you have a garage.
• 14:17
  Yeah, he probably would have did it if.
• 14:18
  That's the whole thing like too with moving here and you know,
• 14:22
  coming from the Midwest where everyone has space, here's
• 14:26
  there's no space. I have a a surface level parking
• 14:28
  lot, you know, spot in our apartment building.
• 14:30
  I'm not doing a lower oil pan in the parking.
• 14:34
  Lot. Were you always into like, the
• 14:35
  whole car thing, even when you're in Chicago?
• 14:37
  Oh yeah. Or Illinois, sorry.
• 14:39
  Maybe we can get into like the friends side of the the Midwest
• 14:43
  and all my homies back home. But I've been in a car for a
• 14:46
  long time. Like I got my 2:40 in like 2011.
• 14:51
  Seventeen years old, like, Don't know how to work at cars.
• 14:55
  Is that your first car? Yes.
• 14:57
  Damn. Didn't even didn't even know how
• 14:58
  to drive stick. My dad had to go with me.
• 15:01
  We picked it up, he drove it home, gets pulled over on the
• 15:04
  way home because the car doesn't have plates on it.
• 15:07
  And I'm in tow with his car and I pull over and then we get home
• 15:11
  and I asked him, what did, what did the cops say to you?
• 15:13
  He's like, don't you know this car doesn't have plates, blah,
• 15:15
  blah, blah. And then he's like, we just
• 15:17
  bought it. Here's the paperwork.
• 15:19
  And he's like, OK, get that windshield fixed.
• 15:22
  Damn. That's pretty lucky, man.
• 15:23
  New Jersey cops would never. Really.
• 15:25
  Why are you like the second part?
• 15:27
  Didn't somebody else have their dad drive the car?
• 15:30
  I don't know. But it was AJ.
• 15:33
  Oh, maybe I just. Or was it not his dad, but
• 15:36
  somebody else drove it? Someone he knew.
• 15:37
  Yeah, maybe. There's just like a a few things
• 15:40
  you don't do in this state, and one of them is drive a car with
• 15:42
  no license plates or insurance on the streets.
• 15:44
  No. No, exactly like.
• 15:46
  Shit'll get impounded. Your whole night will be ruined.
• 15:48
  I've. I've done it tons of times.
• 15:50
  I don't know what you're talking about, allegedly.
• 15:51
  With no plate. There's a something there.
• 15:55
  Yeah, a fake plate. Allegedly.
• 15:58
  Yeah, that's fine. Plate from another vehicle.
• 16:00
  Maybe one day a Toyota Celica might look like a Sequoia.
• 16:06
  Or yeah, I mean we got stacks of plates, but no plate raw dog in
• 16:10
  it is great. I wish I kept my old plate.
• 16:13
  I kept a lot of them. Don't they not let you keep
• 16:16
  plates in this state I. Don't know if they don't, but.
• 16:19
  Yeah, you're right. Allegedly we have.
• 16:20
  All. Yeah, allegedly.
• 16:21
  I don't know anything of how to do that or how I acquired.
• 16:24
  These I have never sent, allegedly, to send back a plate.
• 16:28
  Yeah. Using that little like Dropbox.
• 16:30
  They're like, Oh yeah, mail it. Back Steal these.
• 16:32
  Like I'm not mailing you a damn thing.
• 16:34
  And like every car, I purposefully don't transfer the
• 16:37
  registration so I could, like, get another one I'm.
• 16:39
  Like, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. New new plate, but like the old
• 16:42
  ones when they were stamped. I don't know what I did with
• 16:45
  mine. I think I honestly turned it
• 16:47
  into like a heat shield for the brake master.
• 16:51
  Yeah, that's a that's a go to move for old plate.
• 16:53
  But I grinded off the fucking paint.
• 16:58
  I probably. It's not a federal offense, but
• 17:01
  it's definitely a crime, right? That's not a that can't be a
• 17:03
  federal offense, right? I don't know.
• 17:06
  I mean, regardless, it was for the reason being that the paint
• 17:10
  could possibly light on fire. I don't know.
• 17:12
  Either way, they they weren't gonna pass me tech without.
• 17:15
  Either way, the police are on their way.
• 17:16
  Oh. You drove a drift event with
• 17:17
  this as your heat shield. Oh, yeah.
• 17:19
  OK. Yeah.
• 17:21
  Yeah. It was at Pocono Raceway.
• 17:22
  OK. They were like, yeah, I mean,
• 17:25
  it's not metal. You need to get something metal.
• 17:29
  Plate, front plate, Front plate from the car you drove, it
• 17:33
  worked. Fucking great, I can tell you
• 17:35
  that's. A common thing I've seen people
• 17:37
  do that they don't, I mean. The heat shield thing?
• 17:41
  Yeah, like I did it with my other daily driver, Miata.
• 17:44
  License plates are the perfect size.
• 17:46
  Yeah, and it's just thick enough.
• 17:47
  It's thick. Yes, that's what it is.
• 17:49
  You. Can bend it form it do what you
• 17:50
  need. To do because my roommate came
• 17:52
  back from his like dad's house or or their parents house and he
• 17:56
  they had a rot hole in the floor when he left.
• 17:59
  Yeah, yeah. And then he comes back and I'm
• 18:01
  like, what happened to the hole? And he's like, look, there's a
• 18:03
  license plate. I'm like, wow, I never would
• 18:06
  have thought to do that. Wow.
• 18:06
  It's. Got a lot of uses the universal
• 18:09
  use. Did your first 240 need a
• 18:11
  license plate in the floor? How rusty were we talking here?
• 18:14
  It was bad. It was bad.
• 18:15
  It was bad. Of course it was bad.
• 18:19
  But you enjoyed it. Oh yeah, I daily drove that car
• 18:21
  for three years. Three years.
• 18:23
  So you. Can do it for a little while
• 18:24
  too. Did you do anything daily?
• 18:25
  Drove it, welded diff to it. Everything.
• 18:27
  Oh, so it had. Yeah, I That's all that we can
• 18:30
  go into. A whole story of things I got
• 18:32
  into with that car, but. What?
• 18:34
  What was done to it? It was KA dual Cam.
• 18:38
  It was a 1990 so you know single Cam pignos car just had Rep
• 18:42
  wheels on it. XXR 5 Thirteens The You know,
• 18:46
  the Wantana Bay Wantanabe looking.
• 18:48
  Wheels. Yeah, but the spokes are like,
• 18:49
  so thick, thick spokes. It was like bananas.
• 18:52
  Yeah, they were like 16 small, you know, small wheels, small
• 18:55
  arrow, had type X skirts when you could still get version
• 18:58
  select. Oh yeah, actually, you still
• 19:00
  can. Really.
• 19:01
  Was version select it. It was through Toga factory.
• 19:05
  Yeah, it is. It's just like normal.
• 19:08
  That's what I remember. Origin Quality.
• 19:10
  Yeah, like when you would type in like 240SX body kit, it was
• 19:14
  like one of the first ones that'd come up on eBay.
• 19:16
  Yeah, you could. Still get that stuff, they they
• 19:18
  don't bring it in that much anymore.
• 19:19
  I wonder why, But occasionally I'll see them trying to sell.
• 19:22
  Because that's all you could get, a full fiberglass type X
• 19:25
  kit, I'm assuming you can get everything.
• 19:27
  Yeah, I think you can still get that stuff.
• 19:28
  Yeah. I don't really know the history
• 19:31
  on version select. Oh, but it it's usually a vertex
• 19:34
  Rep, right? Right, I thought it was a type X
• 19:36
  Rep, like it was always a type. X Well, they make like some type
• 19:39
  X stuff, but version select. I think most of this stuff was
• 19:41
  supposed to look like Vertex, like the S14 kit they made and
• 19:46
  some other stuff, yeah. Why you're you're so hung.
• 19:50
  I'm telling you, I'm just think it was just another company
• 19:52
  dude. Yeah, but it was a Rep company,
• 19:54
  yeah. Yeah, of.
• 19:55
  Course nonetheless. So you you had that car for
• 19:57
  three years and then what? How'd you would you go after
• 20:00
  that like? So many paths to take from a
• 20:03
  240. Did you get another one?
• 20:04
  No, I got a Miata, an A. OK, Frankie's like.
• 20:10
  That's one way to go. It was like I didn't want to,
• 20:15
  but the car was just so beat and and what it needed was beyond my
• 20:20
  skill level and like me coming up with that car, I didn't have
• 20:25
  like somebody older than me, like I was in my friends group,
• 20:28
  the older person. But you were already drifting
• 20:30
  and everything. Yeah.
• 20:31
  So I drove like US Air once with that car and it was like AD day
• 20:35
  101 event very often throughout the season they would offer
• 20:38
  those and I definitely fit, you know that kind of demographic as
• 20:43
  a driver, still new, never been to US Air before.
• 20:46
  How far was the track from where you lived?
• 20:47
  That was my. Fuck you.
• 20:48
  It's the same as like the Chicagoland area.
• 20:53
  Like I grew up in the suburbs. Yeah, 3 1/2, yeah, 4 hours
• 20:57
  depending on how fast you drive. So that's like your local.
• 20:59
  Yes, that would be your quote UN quote local.
• 21:01
  Track what I'm used to. So like, you know now with that
• 21:04
  car the, the silver Miata, like going far driving to events is
• 21:08
  not like, you know anything new to me.
• 21:10
  Like, yeah, it'll be constructed in such a way to be driven to
• 21:15
  the track, abused, and then driven.
• 21:17
  Home, that's what's up. Three car not I'm not.
• 21:20
  I can't tow that with the 4 runner or it would be a lot.
• 21:24
  Probably could. No, no, no no.
• 21:25
  Not his 4 runner though, no. Why?
• 21:28
  You still? Doesn't have the four liter.
• 21:29
  It's the 3.4, It's the small one, dude.
• 21:32
  I could tow that by hand. I think you'd be all right.
• 21:35
  That one. It's.
• 21:36
  Like it's an NC Miata for those who the one that is it
• 21:39
  currently. Like 2400 lbs Probably 20-3
• 21:42
  maybe. Probably 20-5, maybe.
• 21:46
  Malcolm's typing. Malcolm's typing it in, which
• 21:48
  means he's looking at it. Pull that up.
• 21:49
  Wow, he's on his shit. 2450. 24. So with Eric in it, it's 2500.
• 21:55
  I can pull it. If you had one of those like
• 22:00
  Malcolm's Forerunner in like even the V6 configuration, you
• 22:03
  guys could totally do it. The aluminum trailer, that's a
• 22:07
  good, that's a good combo. Dude, you can totally tow that
• 22:10
  if you got another. Tow Why bother when he's just A
• 22:12
  streetcar that's cooler? Yeah, yeah, and you can.
• 22:15
  I saw one, My favorite, and I like those cars.
• 22:17
  And it's I I mean, I'm going to say it's new.
• 22:19
  It's not. O6O6 so.
• 22:22
  If it was. Made off the lot.
• 22:23
  Yeah, if it was made after 2000, you got a new car, so.
• 22:26
  Yeah, that's. Isn't it modern amenities?
• 22:28
  Yeah, 'cause I feel like it it took a leap and then it.
• 22:30
  Now just all of it like started to get this weird look to it
• 22:34
  where it was no longer 90s stuff.
• 22:36
  I kind of like that car. Though the NC.
• 22:39
  Like that. That's an NC.
• 22:40
  Yeah, yeah. I think they look kind of cool,
• 22:43
  his car. Like his current car.
• 22:45
  That's like the most not liked Miata.
• 22:47
  And out of all of them, that's the one you're gonna like.
• 22:49
  Heavily hated on really, And that's OK.
• 22:52
  That's hilarious. I think I like Wags's the most.
• 22:55
  That's. NB That's like a.
• 22:57
  That's like the the tweaker version of that looks exactly
• 23:00
  the same, has the same like circular.
• 23:01
  To be honest, I think I like all of them.
• 23:03
  OK, then, what the fuck are we talking about here?
• 23:06
  The one I don't like the most is the first one, the flip up light
• 23:09
  really. How?
• 23:10
  'Cause I don't think any car should have flip up lights,
• 23:11
  unless it's a hatchback. OK, I just made that up.
• 23:15
  Yeah. I.
• 23:17
  Was I just made that up? And I think I'm going to stand
• 23:19
  by that. I hate you because I started to
• 23:20
  think of why your logic went that way.
• 23:22
  Because. It matches the front.
• 23:25
  How It's not like there's something out of back going like
• 23:27
  this let. Me show you God's card.
• 23:29
  It's called A180SX. You see the shape.
• 23:31
  You see the Hatch. Go back in the fucking picture.
• 23:34
  And then you see the front, the lights go down.
• 23:36
  Well, that it matches. That picture.
• 23:40
  There's there's one incorrect thing about this picture, and
• 23:44
  it's the fact that the headlights aren't popped up a
• 23:46
  little bit. I don't like that.
• 23:48
  So. That's law.
• 23:49
  That's like almost law with. That finger gap.
• 23:52
  Three finger gap. If you have OEM arrow, it is.
• 23:54
  If you have aftermarket arrow, that shit could look real bad.
• 23:57
  Really. You don't want.
• 23:59
  That's my opinion. I don't know.
• 24:00
  The only time I ever did Sleepy Eyes was the only competition I
• 24:03
  ever drove. And you did awesome.
• 24:04
  Super D did pretty good. You did?
• 24:07
  Yeah, Super D, Super D So I was there.
• 24:10
  Three finger gap. Dude, and I regret it, 'cause
• 24:12
  now my car looks like shit in all the photos.
• 24:13
  But anyway, so you see how like the front, the front is.
• 24:17
  You get what I'm saying? Yeah, it's obvious.
• 24:18
  OK, cool. So on a Miata, it's like, how
• 24:21
  can we make this car looks even more dumb?
• 24:24
  Let's just put googly flip up lights in the I.
• 24:26
  Like the way the Miata looks there, there was this yellow one
• 24:29
  that I liked that had APS deuce kit available on
• 24:31
  fashionmotorsports.com but PS Deuce kit and a Type X wing.
• 24:37
  On the back? No.
• 24:38
  Yeah. Always a yellow.
• 24:39
  Star car. Oh, OK.
• 24:40
  The Gold Star cars. Where the cars?
• 24:41
  Do you remember those cars? Oh yeah, yeah, those were the
• 24:44
  badass Miatas. Somebody posted recently one of
• 24:47
  them, the original. I think the car with the cookie
• 24:50
  wing was for sale, the black. Ones I'm.
• 24:53
  Thinking, Yeah, I think he's the guy who paints for them.
• 24:55
  That's final bout one, I think. They were there.
• 24:57
  Bro, I would totally drive that. Oh my.
• 24:59
  God, those cars made me like miatas.
• 25:02
  What was the one that had Seventeens Viennas 17 And he was
• 25:06
  like shaving down the inner barrel of his wheel.
• 25:08
  Oh my God. Those cars were fucking.
• 25:10
  Sick. But that one was Gold Star, yes.
• 25:13
  Yes. I don't know any of the newer.
• 25:14
  I mean we know Rd. star, Rd. Star.
• 25:16
  Yeah, those are the Miata folk that I think of.
• 25:19
  Right. When you're talking about the
• 25:20
  yellow aerials car from Japan, maybe not.
• 25:25
  The one that I was talking about was, I think, a guy stateside.
• 25:28
  His name might have been Morgan or something.
• 25:31
  The wheels were white. I don't know, dude.
• 25:33
  I couldn't tell you. I couldn't even remember what I
• 25:35
  did this morning. 30 sevens I think I know white Tees, Yes.
• 25:39
  Thompson. Yeah.
• 25:40
  GT Wing. I think so.
• 25:42
  Wait, which one is that? No.
• 25:43
  No, no. But it didn't have a GT wing.
• 25:44
  The one I'm talking about was when I had a Type X wing and it
• 25:47
  had a hard top and it was. Yellow A.
• 25:50
  Yeah, it looked so nice. I was like, whoa.
• 25:52
  Like I didn't know Miatas can look.
• 25:53
  Like I think the NB facelift is that's the way the car is
• 25:57
  supposed to come, because it looks like the the the regular.
• 26:02
  You're just rubbing the air like this.
• 26:04
  You're going the. The It's funny because I knows
• 26:06
  what he I I like. I know what he means.
• 26:08
  You want it to the front end is like round.
• 26:09
  Yeah, they're all round, except for the ND is a little more
• 26:12
  pointy. But when I see something like
• 26:14
  the car being round like that, I'm like, all right, make it
• 26:17
  pointy, make it aggressive looking you.
• 26:19
  Know who really needs to stop with that shit?
• 26:21
  Acura what? Are we?
• 26:22
  What? What are you?
• 26:23
  Hold on, Hold on. Hold.
• 26:24
  On next time you're behind a fucking Acura, just ask yourself
• 26:27
  why does everything have to be a triangle?
• 26:29
  It just comes to a point every Acura for like the last 20
• 26:33
  years. This is such a.
• 26:35
  I'm like, what are they doing here?
• 26:37
  This isn't. This isn't a.
• 26:38
  Crazy. Anyway, Anyone but me?
• 26:40
  No. No.
• 26:41
  No, no, that's cool. No, I totally get it.
• 26:43
  Do you get it, Eric? Have you like TL TSS.
• 26:46
  Kind of. DS All of them.
• 26:48
  It doesn't matter what it is at this point.
• 26:50
  Yeah, I get. I can see what you're talking.
• 26:51
  About at least the last 10 years.
• 26:52
  It doesn't matter what it is, if it says Acura on it, it's coming
• 26:55
  to a point in the front probably as well.
• 26:58
  But have you seen the logo shit look like?
• 27:00
  This. Yeah, it's a Honda logo that got
• 27:02
  hit with a hammer or something. And the Acura is good, man.
• 27:05
  Stop talking that shit. But like, why so?
• 27:07
  And then that got me thinking. I was like, so I'm like staring
• 27:10
  at this bumper and I'm wondering why I have to still stare at
• 27:12
  these pointed bumpers in 2023. And then I was like, so Honda
• 27:16
  and Acura are the same company in Japan.
• 27:19
  Do they just have a random line of cars that are pointy?
• 27:22
  Cause Hondas don't do that. I'm like what is this?
• 27:27
  I don't know. Maybe the chat can tell us.
• 27:28
  I don't know. I couldn't tell you.
• 27:30
  But Johnny might know some weird shit about this.
• 27:32
  I don't know why, but yeah, it's just fucking weird, dude.
• 27:36
  Do you ever want to just, like, see what cars they have in
• 27:39
  Japan? Like, I just want to go to a
• 27:40
  Honda dealership in Japan and just be like, oh, OK, so you
• 27:43
  took this Acura and you OK. If I go to Japan, I'm going
• 27:47
  there to do probably just a handful of things, one of one
• 27:51
  one of which is to eat 2. All right, there's two drops.
• 27:54
  Only one in the dealership. You're going to go to a Honda
• 27:56
  dealership. We're all going to go to Bihoku.
• 27:58
  You're you're crazy. I'm just.
• 28:00
  Going to be. Studying the dealership then you
• 28:02
  won't be like OK, I don't know why this is like this anyway,
• 28:06
  sorry that's my random. You, you, you take the Miata,
• 28:09
  you made it point or you make it pointy and in my opinion makes
• 28:11
  it look a little bit more aggressive and that's why I like
• 28:13
  it. I like it like.
• 28:14
  That so you're talking about which one now?
• 28:15
  And a that yellow one still, but did you have on when you got
• 28:19
  your Miata what what was we're going to just kind of trickle
• 28:23
  down the yeah of the timeline? Of your entire life was just
• 28:27
  stuck. It was just a daily driver like
• 28:30
  me stepping away from wanting to drive and drift because it was
• 28:34
  clear, like I can't do this on a shoestring budget the way I want
• 28:37
  to do it. So around that time is when I
• 28:40
  was more seriously starting with photography, OK?
• 28:44
  Like so you drifted before you shot photos, yes?
• 28:47
  Interesting. OK.
• 28:49
  Everyone's path is different. Yeah, you know, So yeah, that
• 28:54
  car was, it was super mechanically sound.
• 28:57
  It wasn't cool or anything. It was just like, all right,
• 29:00
  this is the car. It's real drive.
• 29:01
  I can daily it. I can drift it in the snow.
• 29:03
  I can drive it 4 hours to Wisconsin.
• 29:06
  Drifting in the snow is crucial 'cause now you feel like a
• 29:09
  superhero when you're drifting. Honestly I will say like that
• 29:13
  car had snow tires. It was set up to drive in the
• 29:16
  winter so and I would drift it as much as possible.
• 29:19
  It probably the snow, it was great.
• 29:21
  It wasn't welded diff or LSD or anything.
• 29:24
  It was open but still, even in the snow, it'll it'll it'll
• 29:27
  boogie. Snow tires in the snow, that's
• 29:30
  that's good. It's great it, But Eric's pretty
• 29:34
  tall, so I'm like, how is that stock seat stock?
• 29:38
  Seat stock worn out seat. One of the common things in N as
• 29:43
  like taller gentlemen and such as myself do, they will
• 29:46
  literally like gouge out the lower cushion so they can fit
• 29:48
  lower, yes. Have you Well, have you ever
• 29:51
  thought about, like, maybe getting a different car?
• 29:55
  I I don't know what it is about tall people somehow drawn to
• 29:59
  small cars. Now this is, this is a thing.
• 30:02
  I've I've observed it. I've seen it.
• 30:04
  I'm one of them. I don't know what it is.
• 30:07
  Lived it I've. Lived this.
• 30:08
  It's like you're a certain height and you just look at a
• 30:11
  car and you're like, I bet I could fit in that.
• 30:14
  Low key, you could probably see the whole fucking car from where
• 30:18
  your point of view is, as mine is down here, but from up there
• 30:22
  you could see the whole car that's kind of lit.
• 30:25
  You ever wanted a cappuccino before?
• 30:27
  No, I actually showed Lauren those for the first time because
• 30:30
  she was like, there's no way there's a smaller roadster than
• 30:32
  a Miata. And I think Noriyaru Alexi was
• 30:36
  he's he's about maybe a little bit taller than me or similar in
• 30:39
  height and he's he can't even fit in a cappuccino.
• 30:42
  Yeah, he did a video with that and his knees were like, this is
• 30:47
  the wheel right here. And I was like, there's no way
• 30:49
  he's actually in his, his. Eyesight is like at the roof
• 30:53
  line. No way.
• 30:55
  I saw, well, someone came here with one of them once.
• 30:57
  Really not for us to work on, unfortunately.
• 30:59
  I wish. But I was just he.
• 31:02
  He opens the hood and I'm just like, what are we doing?
• 31:05
  Three cylinder. Dude, that shit was the size of
• 31:07
  like, this water bottle. I'm like, how is the car moving?
• 31:11
  It looked like a. Was it bigger or smaller than
• 31:12
  this? Way smaller dude, way smaller
• 31:15
  do. You have anything to say about
• 31:16
  that? I.
• 31:18
  Guess not. The engine can't speak.
• 31:21
  That's what, baby. That bitch is going to bark,
• 31:23
  I'll tell you. Engine.
• 31:25
  Can't speak, that's why I like it.
• 31:29
  That's incredible. It's fighting.
• 31:31
  Lines poet. I just, I just work on it.
• 31:35
  It doesn't talk to me. It's quiet.
• 31:38
  Come here on Saturdays and Sundays and just, you know
• 31:41
  that's it's peaceful. Yeah, it just says what do you
• 31:44
  need. Until you hear this at the door.
• 31:47
  Yo-yo, yo. Anyone there?
• 31:49
  Frankie, are you in there? Yo, you there?
• 31:52
  I'm drop Yo. Oh, Jesus fucking Christ.
• 31:56
  Anyway, yeah, we're closed on the weekend.
• 31:59
  Sorry, that's when Frankie's not here, so don't think that he is.
• 32:03
  Yeah, I'm trying to get this shit together, man, so I can
• 32:06
  drive with you. Yeah, and.
• 32:08
  Now, Eric. Dude, so when you moved here,
• 32:12
  you started like like were you drifting in the Midwest?
• 32:15
  What's drifting there? Like, are you drifting like in.
• 32:18
  I'm picturing it cause smooth brain's from Indiana, right?
• 32:22
  And when they did their video, they were in a cornfield.
• 32:25
  What do you mean when? They did podcast.
• 32:27
  No. There was like a a ABMI video
• 32:29
  they did and they were in a cornfield like it was a a
• 32:31
  highway or maybe a straight away and then a cornfield like a like
• 32:36
  a roundabout. Oh, OK.
• 32:37
  OK. Yeah.
• 32:38
  Yeah. Yeah, or like a a cul-de-sac.
• 32:40
  So like, how'd you where were you learning how to drift?
• 32:42
  Just random. Lots.
• 32:43
  And then. Yeah, yeah.
• 32:44
  When you know industrial areas. And then you came here and then
• 32:48
  you have 5 tracks within two hours.
• 32:50
  I know, but. Isn't that?
• 32:52
  Crazy. It's, you know, it's a lot of
• 32:55
  the other, you know, Chicago guys.
• 32:56
  We just wherever we can. Did you have a group?
• 32:59
  You mentioned you had a group of homies.
• 33:00
  I did, yes. And they all drifted, too.
• 33:03
  Yes, maybe Malcolm can pull up the photo of a bunch of us
• 33:07
  parked up in a parking. Lot all the miatas.
• 33:09
  But no, it was just you and then.
• 33:11
  It was Red Cars. Red Cars, yes.
• 33:14
  Wait, they're all red? That's fucking.
• 33:18
  So we have. Mark and true source.
• 33:21
  Shout out Mark and Josh, shout out Evez all in that photo.
• 33:25
  Other members not picture Leo. Yeah, did.
• 33:29
  You guys have like a club or a name?
• 33:32
  Yes. Was it bath salt?
• 33:34
  No, it was cool and good. Cool and good.
• 33:37
  OK, cool and good. I don't know the they probably
• 33:42
  would think I would know the answer to this, but like cool
• 33:45
  and good is just it was just like something we would say it
• 33:48
  was just cool, you know? I think it was a meme.
• 33:51
  Like give me an example. It was a meme use.
• 33:52
  It in a sentence, it's. Like, oh, that's cool.
• 33:55
  And you know that's cool and good.
• 33:56
  It's nothing more than that. It really isn't like, cool and
• 34:01
  also good. It's because none of us like the
• 34:04
  idea of like, being a team. Frankie I.
• 34:07
  Just pictured someone saying something and he's like cool and
• 34:11
  also good like. What?
• 34:15
  Like, that's cool. It was just and also.
• 34:17
  Good. It was just something we had
• 34:19
  between us. We were never like a team or
• 34:22
  anything like that, you know? I thought you were.
• 34:24
  I think you were a club. It was.
• 34:25
  It looked like a club. Yeah.
• 34:26
  You got members. I mean, they're all red.
• 34:28
  They're all red. Looks better than.
• 34:31
  We all had different cars but. That that that photo looks
• 34:34
  better than 90% of the drift teams lately.
• 34:37
  They're. 2 scores are those sores or SC?
• 34:39
  Just SCS and and they're brothers.
• 34:41
  That's sick. And they're also Filipino.
• 34:44
  I could have maybe? Guessed they need a job.
• 34:49
  That is. Crazy, that.
• 34:50
  You just said. That they work on cars.
• 34:53
  Clearly they make nice ones. That's cool, man.
• 34:57
  So then you bailed on all of them?
• 34:58
  Yeah, that's what I was going to say that must.
• 34:59
  Have heard not chill that suck. Yeah.
• 35:03
  Or well. Not cool or good.
• 35:05
  You got some Filipinos over here, so you're good right here
• 35:08
  at Faction. Motors.
• 35:08
  It's funny how that works out. Yeah, yeah.
• 35:11
  But that was probably so sad. I moved an hour away and I the
• 35:15
  life was over. Yeah.
• 35:16
  And I was like, shit, I'm never going to see them again.
• 35:18
  And I'm here every week. But yeah, now what was that like
• 35:23
  'cause now you gotta go find new people.
• 35:25
  That. Yeah.
• 35:26
  Yeah, so. He's like, that's why I'm here
• 35:30
  every week. We're like trying to forge new
• 35:33
  friendships. This was when 20. 10.
• 35:36
  When I went. When I moved.
• 35:37
  When I moved. When you made the leap.
• 35:39
  Oh, this? I didn't move until 2019.
• 35:42
  Fuck, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 35:43
  That was like last year. Well, yeah, You skipped the
• 35:46
  COVID year, so yeah, yeah. Right.
• 35:48
  Right, right. Yeah.
• 35:50
  And then the COVID hit and you were like, oh.
• 35:51
  Here I am in a new place and can't go anywhere.
• 35:54
  Oh, no, that would have been. Yeah, right.
• 35:57
  That's pretty much how I. Went Yeah, moved in October of
• 35:59
  2019. Oh my God.
• 36:01
  Yeah, got it. I was working, had a job for,
• 36:06
  you know, one of those four or five months until March hit and
• 36:09
  then it was like, all right, we have to let you go because we
• 36:12
  don't know what's going to happen.
• 36:13
  What were you doing? Sign industry type stuff.
• 36:17
  I don't know if you're familiar with what I do.
• 36:19
  Very similar to what Connor does.
• 36:21
  Likely enough. It's hilarious. him and I will
• 36:24
  talk back and forth because I don't know anyone else in the
• 36:26
  sign industry other than him. So like signage for like
• 36:29
  businesses and stuff like vinyl stuff.
• 36:31
  Vinyl. Yeah, inside and outside.
• 36:34
  Stuff like, you know, illuminated lettering for
• 36:36
  buildings, stuff like that. I've worked at since coming
• 36:40
  here. Like 3 different places.
• 36:42
  Oh wow. I worked at a neon sign shop as
• 36:44
  well. That's cool.
• 36:45
  That was cool. That was in Hoboken.
• 36:46
  I was going to say I feel like I know where Manhattan Neon or
• 36:49
  some shit. Yeah.
• 36:50
  How do you know that there's? I had a friend of mine who lived
• 36:54
  in that area and like I would pass by that shop all the time
• 36:57
  and that's where I worked. It's a neon sign shop.
• 36:59
  What the fuck? You don't like see a neon sign
• 37:02
  shop everywhere? Neon signs.
• 37:03
  What? I need some neons, yeah.
• 37:05
  Can you make fuck? Did I remember that?
• 37:07
  I'm so sorry, but like, how the hell did I remember that?
• 37:09
  I haven't seen that. Can you get me a sign that says
• 37:12
  on air in neon? Yeah.
• 37:14
  OK. How much would something like
• 37:15
  that cost? Honestly, you could probably
• 37:17
  find one on eBay. But I want.
• 37:20
  We actually have one in our kitchen.
• 37:23
  Really. That says on air.
• 37:24
  I got it from eBay. And I can hook it up to a switch
• 37:26
  and everything. It's already wired.
• 37:28
  It's got a switch in place. OK, I'll send you a picture,
• 37:30
  Frankie. Likes NEON if it can be
• 37:33
  dangerous if it breaks. Yeah, I try to tell Carl he's
• 37:36
  like, yeah, I'm gonna put, I'm going to put neons on my car.
• 37:38
  I was like, first of all, you're not putting neons on your car.
• 37:40
  You're putting LED strips from eBay on your car, That's what.
• 37:43
  You're If this was 2002, you're putting neon on your car.
• 37:46
  Then he, like, he started thinking like, oh, maybe I'll
• 37:47
  put neons on my car. And then I was like, Nah, I'm
• 37:49
  going to stop you again. Don't fucking put neons in your
• 37:51
  car because they're going to shatter when you go off the
• 37:53
  track. It's and they do kind of glow a
• 37:56
  little differently. They.
• 37:57
  Do you're 100%? Right.
• 37:58
  I would 100% put neons on a streetcar, but like a drift car,
• 38:02
  it's like you're playing a pretty stupid.
• 38:04
  Game. Don't we play a fucking game?
• 38:06
  Do we not? Is the whole sport not stupid
• 38:09
  and dangerous? No, you're silly.
• 38:10
  You are right and. Actually, no, I'm wrong.
• 38:13
  It's cool and good. It's cool and good, but like we
• 38:17
  spent a lot of money on body kits and stuff and break them
• 38:19
  so. No, you do.
• 38:20
  You're right. That's why my car's cool and
• 38:23
  good. Yeah.
• 38:25
  You're right, mine is not cool and good.
• 38:27
  Cool and good is just like everybody can be cool and good.
• 38:31
  Everyone can, but a lot of people are not.
• 38:34
  I really like that name. Can you guys keep that thing
• 38:36
  alive? Yeah, it's still alive.
• 38:39
  Some people still have that sticker on their car of our in
• 38:42
  our Friends group. People have moved on to other
• 38:44
  cars, but the sticker still exists.
• 38:46
  We need that sticker. That'd be cool.
• 38:48
  That's the other thing too. We never we we never gave out
• 38:51
  stickers. It was only for us.
• 38:54
  I I love that actually, 'cause now you you kind of.
• 38:56
  Just. It's there.
• 38:57
  It's your. Piece.
• 38:58
  That was my original plan too. And then I put one up for sale
• 39:01
  and I was like, I'm selling all these fucking stickers.
• 39:04
  You're like, I'm going to start a whole business.
• 39:06
  I need to make AI need to start a business who wants a sticker?
• 39:10
  It's just for me. No, that's cool.
• 39:12
  Wait, are they all kind of like in that creative?
• 39:14
  Because I in my eyes, I view you as a creative person and I hope
• 39:17
  you don't find. No, I appreciate that.
• 39:19
  Because you also built a motorcycle.
• 39:22
  So like, I after now 'cause now I'm on the innerweaves about
• 39:25
  fucking like motorcycles. I want to build something, OK.
• 39:28
  Can you tell him to buy a Sportster so that I can't be the
• 39:32
  only one? Why is it you think it's too
• 39:34
  small? No, I want him to buy a
• 39:36
  Sportster to build into a chopper because as of right now,
• 39:38
  he wants to turn a A. 650 unit you want a hard tail it Yeah,
• 39:42
  OK. It looks so small.
• 39:43
  I knew he. Was going to be OK with that.
• 39:45
  It's sick, is it not? Fuck you, Frankie.
• 39:48
  We're being. I appreciate anybody who goes
• 39:52
  around in a different way. It looks apparently the bike was
• 39:56
  known for its one reliability. Yeah, let's let's ruin all of
• 40:01
  it. No, I'm not just the back half.
• 40:03
  Of it literally are. Just the back half of.
• 40:05
  It dude, it's a parallel twin engine, right?
• 40:09
  That's what it is. Yeah.
• 40:10
  Whack. Get a fucking V twin.
• 40:12
  That's what a chopper is, Yeah, I said it.
• 40:15
  You've never seen any old photos of six 50s?
• 40:18
  Or you probably have. I have, yeah.
• 40:20
  It just it doesn't do. It doesn't do it for you.
• 40:23
  It really doesn't the the the tubes too.
• 40:25
  They go out like that, like it's nice and symmetrical looking.
• 40:28
  I can name something worse though. 4 cylinder.
• 40:32
  I don't like that because at least this one the only reason
• 40:35
  why. Bro, you start it up, it sounds
• 40:36
  like a fucking fucking Ducati. You're like, what do you not a
• 40:39
  Ducati? A fucking Yamaha RZ 1000.
• 40:43
  Like, I'm like, dude, it's supposed to sound like a
• 40:45
  chopper, not a fucking race bike.
• 40:48
  Have you seen any of the guys in Thailand or other Eastern?
• 40:52
  No, but I could see that being a thing.
• 40:54
  Countries 'cause they don't, obviously can't get them.
• 40:55
  Yeah, that makes sense. A lot of.
• 40:57
  My Explore pages stuff in Asia and it's they get it how you
• 41:02
  live, you know, make it you 'cause that's all you have
• 41:04
  there. That makes sense.
• 41:05
  They got you. Know, But then I see it.
• 41:06
  But then I'll get like a reel of a Japanese guy with like a
• 41:09
  shovel head. Hell yeah, that's.
• 41:11
  And I'm like. Common they.
• 41:12
  How the fuck did you get that? They do Harley's better than
• 41:15
  Americans do. And they're always kicking it
• 41:17
  on. They're always like.
• 41:20
  The same way we like import vehicles, we export, You know,
• 41:25
  old big twins. You could probably.
• 41:26
  Get a fucking bike. You know, easy.
• 41:30
  So what do you have, Eric? Yeah, what kind of bike do you
• 41:32
  have? The Mazda Miata of the Harley
• 41:34
  lineup. What's the Mazda Miata?
• 41:36
  Harley-Davidson Sportster. But it's an 8. 83 it's an 8. 82
• 41:40
  it's a 12. That's not the Mazda Miata.
• 41:43
  Damn, that's even the nicer Sportster.
• 41:44
  Fuck, that's the one that Frankie, if I was even to get a
• 41:47
  Sportster would be like, well, it's an 883.
• 41:49
  You're a girl. If you saw, if you just pulled
• 41:51
  the head off and just saw the difference in displacement,
• 41:53
  you'd be like, yeah, isn't that worth it, really.
• 41:55
  Yeah. Right.
• 41:56
  The Pistons are very small. Well, I have a 650 and I got it
• 41:59
  from wags which makes it even better.
• 42:01
  Is it 5 speed? 4 speed?
• 42:03
  What is? I don't know anything about.
• 42:04
  This. I wrote it once and I think it's
• 42:05
  a five. OK, mine's a four and it has a
• 42:09
  kickstart. I never kickstarted anything and
• 42:12
  now I would like to kick start it with it chopper mode so I
• 42:16
  feel like I would look cool. I mean, it's not a
• 42:19
  four-cylinder, so I'll probably hang out with you still if you
• 42:22
  do it, but. It just fits me.
• 42:24
  If it was a 4 cylinder, I would never let you live that down.
• 42:27
  And that's what Miyagi's trying to do.
• 42:28
  What? He's got a four, he's got ACB
• 42:31
  750 and he's just like, yeah, let's fucking destroy it.
• 42:35
  I'm like, dude, make it a cafe racer.
• 42:37
  It's going to be sick and he's like bought a whole frame.
• 42:40
  I'm like, this will never be cool.
• 42:42
  Literally ever. To me, the two cylinder, OK, it
• 42:48
  it it's not that bad. Like if I see that and it's done
• 42:51
  right, I'm like all right, that's kind of cool.
• 42:55
  It's it doesn't look cool to me. Like I wouldn't want it, but at
• 42:57
  least it sounds right due to 4 cylinder one.
• 43:00
  What are we doing bro? My Dave's brother Mike came by
• 43:03
  the other day with one. He's like yeah, I got this thing
• 43:05
  and he's like I don't really like it.
• 43:07
  It's really dangerous. I'm like yeah, and it sounds
• 43:09
  retarded because it's like a fucking 4 cylinder.
• 43:14
  No I don't. He doesn't care.
• 43:15
  He he doesn't even know if he wants it.
• 43:16
  Those older bikes though, they have this like it still sounds
• 43:19
  like a sport bike. It doesn't sound like a chopper.
• 43:21
  My I don't know if it's because my bike.
• 43:23
  Louis helped me with my bike recently.
• 43:25
  Thank you Louis. He also.
• 43:28
  Scared the shit out of you that night on the podcast.
• 43:31
  Fuck you, Lewis. But he came over and working
• 43:35
  with the older bikes, OK? Or anything old in general,
• 43:39
  'cause I don't know if earlier on in the year you Remember Me
• 43:41
  saying, but I was like, I kind of want to build something old.
• 43:44
  What's your? What's your categorization of
• 43:46
  old? Sub 80 like 80 and below.
• 43:48
  So just carbureted. Yeah, or actually anything,
• 43:51
  'cause that the the bolts and the metal are way the grades and
• 43:58
  shit, They're so different. And the bike, the everything's
• 44:01
  smaller. So I was about to tighten the
• 44:04
  tighten the fuck out of something and Lewis was like.
• 44:06
  Whoa, whoa. That's.
• 44:08
  Dripping. That's good, Manito.
• 44:10
  And I was, yeah, that's good. That's good.
• 44:12
  And I'm like, OK, sorry I've died in every bolt on here like
• 44:16

  Name. At first I was like, it's a
• 45:37
  pretty interesting name, but now I'm like, fuck yeah, that's an
• 45:40
  interesting name. That's probably going to be
• 45:42
  sticking around. Here.
• 45:43
  I can't. I can't say like, oh, that's
• 45:44
  cool. And good is it also.
• 45:47
  Good. I can't even imagine what my
• 45:52
  friends back home they're. Probably There's a lot of
• 45:53
  things. That are looking at this.
• 45:54
  There's a lot of things that come in and out of the shop that
• 45:56
  are cool and not good, like, right, Malcolm?
• 46:00
  Like, that's just cool, but that's not good you ain't gonna
• 46:05
  make. Every every RO has like a check
• 46:08
  box for cool and good. Do you know what?
• 46:10
  Would be. You know what would be cool and
• 46:13
  good? What?
• 46:14
  Juicy platters? No, The other day I was on the
• 46:16
  Discord. All right, shout out to the
• 46:18
  Discord. If you're not in the Discord,
• 46:20
  hop in there. Are you in the Discord?
• 46:22
  Eric? Do you use Discord?
• 46:23
  Not I used to be. I used to SIM for a little and
• 46:27
  we that's how we would communicate, but not regularly
• 46:29
  not. OK.
• 46:30
  Well, if during the winter, you know it's kind of cold now, you
• 46:34
  know, hop in the good old Discord.
• 46:35
  We're bouncing ideas there. One of them is what?
• 46:39
  Good old faction and friends? Dude, we should have a Drift
• 46:41
  event next year, yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 46:45
  Sounds like a good idea and cool.
• 46:50
  But it would be fun and I think that it.
• 46:52
  I don't know we we should we should definitely get with this
• 46:54
  idea. We're we're always with creative
• 46:56
  people and stuff and we need to bounce these ideas.
• 46:58
  You know what I mean? Join the Discord.
• 47:01
  The think tank, the Discord, Think the.
• 47:02
  Team, you remember that trip that I went to to mid pond trip
• 47:05
  to the pond. Which one?
• 47:08
  What didn't you go like three times?
• 47:10
  I went one time you. Only went once.
• 47:12
  Yeah, and my car broke in like 4 hours.
• 47:14
  Yeah, I do Remember Me. It sucks, but that whole
• 47:18
  organization, I feel like they would be wanna do a pod up here
• 47:21
  or something and maybe we have a little drift event and like they
• 47:25
  help us organize it, they help us organize it.
• 47:27
  People in the Midwest can con everyone to coming to Wisconsin.
• 47:30
  I think you guys can con everyone to come to the East
• 47:32
  Coast. It'd be.
• 47:33
  Fun. Yeah, I hope we can.
• 47:35
  Team Bald Head presents Faction and friends trip to Englishtown
• 47:40
  V1. Yeah, I mean there you are with
• 47:43
  Diego. BBBBBB everyone.
• 47:45
  'S going to Mid Pond too. That was the bad call.
• 47:47
  That was it. The BBBBBB in the chat.
• 47:50
  He just wanted us to talk about. We talked about this last night,
• 47:54
  to be honest, and at night I'm a little bit more what all over
• 47:58
  the place, more. All over the place.
• 48:00
  Yeah, dude, Jesus. Christ.
• 48:03
  Look, Frankie is not one of those friends for me right now
• 48:05
  where if I bounce an idea off of him, he will rebuttal with me
• 48:10
  for more than 10 minutes. I don't entertain much.
• 48:12
  He doesn't. He shuts it down right away.
• 48:14
  But let's say we're talking Eric.
• 48:16
  I feel like we've had conversations longer than 10
• 48:18
  minutes outside. Frankie would just probably walk
• 48:22
  away right there, but I feel like it's good to have those
• 48:25
  friends where you can, like, bounce ideas off of.
• 48:27
  Not that I don't appreciate Frankie's.
• 48:28
  Friendship. He hates me.
• 48:30
  But it's like, I get it. It's like the the the kind of
• 48:33
  varying views and shit. It's it's something that I
• 48:35
  treasure a lot. So like you as a photographer,
• 48:40
  like when you got into it, like are you, did you take influence
• 48:44
  from anybody or like kind of most definitely sort of
• 48:48
  influential character that got you into that?
• 48:53
  I mean, just everyone knows the Chicago scene is the Chicago
• 48:56
  scene and there's certain people that would always shoot video or
• 49:02
  do photography that always just were at events and just seeing
• 49:06
  their photos. I mean, who's to name a few?
• 49:11
  Who can we name? I'm trying to.
• 49:13
  Name drop. Yeah.
• 49:15
  You familiar with T2 films? Yeah, of course.
• 49:18
  Video Guy. Yeah, I'm sure you've watched
• 49:19
  all those videos. All you know, Risky devil.
• 49:21
  Videos, yeah. And then there there's who else
• 49:23
  is there? You probably don't know him.
• 49:25
  I think his name is Keith Kaizo. Photo.
• 49:28
  He's from Minnesota. Shot a lot of early club Fr
• 49:32
  events. OK.
• 49:33
  Yeah, just. Just seeing his photos and even
• 49:36
  from like you know, just framing everything, just like seeing
• 49:42
  everything that he would shoot or you know other people in the
• 49:45
  in the area, just you know, I want to go do that, you know?
• 49:49
  Why is the Midwest car scene so clean and stylish?
• 49:52
  Why is it always? Like I, you know, I recently
• 49:54
  listened to TF Dave's podcast and I feel like he explained it
• 49:58
  pretty well. Just like having it right there,
• 50:00
  you know, like everything. Toge factory I had to offer as
• 50:05
  far as like parts and you know, ready, you know, ready.
• 50:07
  The ability to like, get things in a timely matter, you know, to
• 50:11
  people. I didn't think of it.
• 50:12
  Because, like, think a bit late there.
• 50:14
  Well, because. Because I'm thinking of it, of
• 50:15
  the climate, because I'm like, oh, California.
• 50:19
  And Frankie said this before where he's like, it's warm all
• 50:22
  the time. You kind of expect all the cars
• 50:24
  to be nice. Yeah, really warm all the time.
• 50:27
  The. Midwest thing is weird.
• 50:28
  It must it must be Toga factory. They must have had a big
• 50:31
  influence on that. Definitely, yeah, definitely.
• 50:35
  Shout out Dave. Yeah, that that really has to be
• 50:37
  one of the main reasons. Most definitely.
• 50:40
  You know, availability of parts like when he was talking about
• 50:45
  the guy Brian Koehler crab that had S13 and he was buying all
• 50:49
  the parts from. Do you remember that
• 50:50
  conversation? Obviously.
• 50:52
  I was pretty fucking out out of it, but yeah.
• 50:55
  But like, I'll circle back to that.
• 50:57
  But like JDM Chicago was like a forum that we all used to use.
• 51:02
  And like there was a a drift section that was put in to the
• 51:06
  forum And like all the OG guys had threads and they went
• 51:10
  through their whole histories and it's unfortunate that this
• 51:14
  doesn't exist anymore, that we can't go back and look at this
• 51:16
  that. Was my next.
• 51:17
  Question. So that doesn't exist anymore,
• 51:19
  but like hearing like their side of it, 'cause like crab is like
• 51:24
  AOG. Like, you know, as you know,
• 51:26
  when TF Day was still selling used parts, that's what he was
• 51:29
  buying, you know, Like before it became what it is now.
• 51:32
  Like, you know, just where's that going with this?
• 51:38
  I mean, that's my dream. Explaining how that has a main,
• 51:41
  yeah. Point and you know what to do.
• 51:42
  With it, it makes sense. Having the the ability to get
• 51:45
  the sought after stuff to make your car cool, you know,
• 51:48
  everyone else after them is coming up and seeing like, wow,
• 51:53
  all these cars look wonderful and like that's what I wanna do,
• 51:56
  like I wanna get an S13 and do that.
• 51:59
  I want to get an S13 and be Rev gas and Josh.
• 52:01
  Yeah, that was the other thing. Risky Devil definitely had a big
• 52:04
  influence, probably on everyone. Yeah, most definitely.
• 52:06
  It's probably them and Toge F. Actually, and and having
• 52:10
  obviously the Internet, but also having creative friends that
• 52:14
  want to create videos and take pictures of their friends doing
• 52:17
  cool shit, whether it be on the street or on the track and
• 52:21
  putting it on the Internet for everyone to see.
• 52:24
  You know, like ultimately that's that's the influence before
• 52:28
  actual social media like Instagram, like what it is now.
• 52:32
  I wish. There was a way to get that
• 52:33
  forum. Fuck.
• 52:35
  We finally cracked the code. There's no like Time Machine
• 52:38
  thing where you can, like, browse old domains that you
• 52:41
  like. The Wayback Machine is that a
• 52:43
  thing. It doesn't.
• 52:44
  Work I tried. Too simple.
• 52:46
  For the forum, yeah. Too simple it would have been
• 52:48
  too easy. Would have been too easy.
• 52:51
  Just like Faction and friends, it's going to.
• 52:54
  It's too easy. No, it's going to be easy.
• 52:56
  Just in general. It's going to.
• 52:58
  It just happened. Sorry, I'm taking my jacket off.
• 53:00
  It's kind. Of hot hey yo.
• 53:03
  Relax. See your nipples through there?
• 53:04
  Damn. I guess.
• 53:07
  They're cutting now you got me. Fucking that's.
• 53:11
  How I'm going to sit now? OK, that's crazy, but.
• 53:14
  You've been hitting the gym, I see.
• 53:16
  I have been. I've also been hitting the
• 53:19
  buffets. Oh.
• 53:21
  Yeah. Where was the invite?
• 53:22
  It's Balkan. Me and Daryl and Joe just
• 53:25
  attacked Korean BBQ the other week.
• 53:27
  No, that's crazy. I'm so sorry.
• 53:30
  You like it was on the way home. Do I like Golden Corral?
• 53:33
  Yeah, I fucking love Golden Corral.
• 53:36
  But there was like, AI forgot what show where they like, went
• 53:38
  to a Golden Corral and then they just had all this gross shit and
• 53:41
  I was like, huh, Maybe I don't like Golden.
• 53:44
  Corral What is golden? Corral.
• 53:45
  It's a buffet in Florida. No.
• 53:47
  Wonder they have it here, don't they?
• 53:49
  There is some around here, but for some reason I know Golden
• 53:51
  Corral to be in Florida. Like I would always just see a
• 53:54
  Golden. Corral in Florida Old Country
• 53:56
  Buffet. What is that?
• 53:58
  What? What?
• 53:58
  Malcolm, Malcolm. Malcolm.
• 53:59
  Malcolm, are you holding out? Hold on with that.
• 54:01
  What is Old Country? Rest in peace, the Old Country
• 54:04
  Buffet. First off, they don't exist
• 54:05
  anymore. It's funny, back home, the Old
• 54:07
  Country Buffet is now a Golden Corral.
• 54:10
  What is an What is an Old Country Buffet?
• 54:12
  It's just like it's Golden Corral, but.
• 54:14
  It's a chain. Yeah, it was a chain and they
• 54:16
  just served, you know, exactly. Get on the mic.
• 54:19
  See what this was. Come on, man.
• 54:22
  It was just good old American classic like.
• 54:24
  What like you? Like you like a specific type of
• 54:26
  food I. Don't know what was it, Eric?
• 54:28
  Just like fucking. You could get like, ha, like a
• 54:31
  whole honey ham. And they would like there'd be a
• 54:33
  guy there that would cut it. Mashed potatoes, Coal.
• 54:36
  Comfort. Food.
• 54:37
  Yes. It's basically like a better TV.
• 54:39
  Dinner you. Know that's.
• 54:42
  That was get a Salisbury steak. Of explaining how Malcolm his
• 54:45
  favorite type of food. I love better food that Malcolm
• 54:48
  likes. Yeah, 711 pizza, TV dinners,
• 54:52
  cheesecake, cheesecake. That's so specific.
• 54:57
  Definitely not a nice steak from our good restaurant.
• 55:01
  That's. Imagine Malcolm getting like a
• 55:04
  filet mignon. Hates Korean BBQ.
• 55:07
  Dude, I'm just a buffet person. Though I don't know how to
• 55:09
  control myself. I it's like my favorite kind of
• 55:11
  restaurant. But I know it's not like a
• 55:13
  classy thing. But like I'm going to go there
• 55:15
  and be not classy and I'm going to shovel popcorn shrimp it in
• 55:18
  my mouth even though I'm allergic.
• 55:19
  That's hot. Then I'll eat chicken Nuggets
• 55:21
  and and wings and fucking. I don't know give me some of
• 55:24
  that fucking prime rib brother. Thank you and keep it going.
• 55:27
  I. Haven't been to many buffets.
• 55:29
  Yeah, I feel like you wouldn't. Did you?
• 55:31
  Go to 1 when you were in Vegas. Did we?
• 55:34
  Oh, no, we didn't. Why?
• 55:35
  Why? Why?
• 55:35
  Did the opportunity though, but we didn't.
• 55:37
  Because I went to Vegas like 2 weeks before they did.
• 55:41
  We did. We did the buffet at I think,
• 55:44
  Where was it? Oh, it's at like a casino.
• 55:46
  Yes, yes. Why are they good?
• 55:48
  I think Caesar's it might have been Caesar's.
• 55:51
  Wait, Malcolm, you're acting like you knew of this buffet?
• 55:52
  Yeah. Wait, what?
• 55:53
  Is this a no? No buffets in Las Vegas.
• 55:56
  Oh yeah, yeah, they're very. Very we need.
• 55:59
  A expensive, but it's worth it to do it at least once.
• 56:04
  How expensive are we talking here?
• 56:05
  It was like $50 a purse. That's not expensive.
• 56:08
  Let's go. Maybe it was like.
• 56:09
  Did you just say that it might have been more?
• 56:10
  Expensive. All you can eat buffet MAF.
• 56:12
  Oh, different from. Lunch and dinner.
• 56:14
  Dude, I'm going to be eating $120.00 worth of food, so.
• 56:16
  That's that's my mentality. I think that's the problem Is
• 56:19
  like. Cobia was closer to like $100 a
• 56:21
  person. I I can't, dude.
• 56:22
  There was maybe. I didn't want to remember how
• 56:24
  much it was. There was my goal is to put them
• 56:26
  out of business, dude. All you can eat sushi places.
• 56:29
  That's where I go. That's.
• 56:30
  Where you like do. You like Cura?
• 56:32
  Where is that? The revolving sushi bar,
• 56:34
  remember? We took you.
• 56:35
  Oh, the one in. I don't like that place because
• 56:37
  it's always packed. It doesn't come out fast is.
• 56:40
  It still like that? I haven't been to 1 here yet.
• 56:43
  There's one in Edison. Well, they used to have the
• 56:45
  city. E was a thing by us.
• 56:48
  That one in. But I'm talking like, all you
• 56:49
  can eat, like, like you pay this much money and you can order
• 56:53
  whatever you want. And I'm like, Are you sure?
• 56:55
  And they're like, yeah, and I'm like, OK, And then me and
• 56:57
  fucking Dan Sharif would go in there, bro.
• 57:00
  Why do I feel like Dan is an animal at the buffets?
• 57:03
  Dude, me. If me and him walked in there,
• 57:04
  it was a fucking problem. The.
• 57:08
  Pictures of how much everything? Can you eat?
• 57:10
  Give me, give me a number right now.
• 57:12
  Like, like a big, like I'm going to go with my arms, like with a
• 57:15
  plate. Like you could, you could still
• 57:18
  eat. This I'm going to try to think
• 57:18
  how many individual rolls I could.
• 57:20
  Actually, can you still eat this plate of sushi where my hands
• 57:22
  are right? Here, like a long plate?
• 57:24
  Sure, sure. Yeah, like the boat.
• 57:26
  The boat Plate. Probably the sushi.
• 57:28
  Boat, Sushi, boat, can you eat? That me and Dan Sharif can go
• 57:31
  anywhere and they they are losing money.
• 57:33
  We made sure of it. How do you eat that much?
• 57:35
  And here's the other and B your stomach be all right.
• 57:38
  The other fucking problem with these places, So we would, I
• 57:41
  would only go to the ones where they were like all you can eat
• 57:44
  sushi and all you can eat kitchen food.
• 57:47
  I'm like, oh, you guys fucked up.
• 57:49
  You guys really fucked up. I'd order three plates of
• 57:52
  chicken teriyaki, I'd order shrimp shumai, gyoza, edamame,
• 57:56
  everything, everything like 3 plates of it.
• 57:59
  And then we get the sushi and we order all of that and I'm like,
• 58:02
  there's no fucking shot. Well, no, no, no.
• 58:04
  The project manager in me is like yo you eat the sushi while
• 58:09
  at Wild Ass Shit's cooking you. By the time you finish the
• 58:11
  sushi, the hot food's out. Repeat the cycle.
• 58:14
  Yes, you're good to go. Let's go.
• 58:15
  Sometimes, depending on who we brought, they would go in the
• 58:18
  bathroom, pull the trigger back out.
• 58:21
  Eat more. Now you're doing too much.
• 58:23
  I didn't do that, but I'm just saying you're.
• 58:25
  Doing too much. Dude, did people, I don't know
• 58:28
  how those places make money. Well, I guess they make money
• 58:30
  because people just go on dates and they have like 1 bite and
• 58:32
  they're. Like, why would you take a a
• 58:34
  date directly to a all you can eat food?
• 58:36
  I don't know. I don't want him to know that I
• 58:38
  can. Eat food?
• 58:39
  Maybe not the first date. Yeah, but.
• 58:41
  A madman. Yeah dude, I'm getting hungry
• 58:43
  now. Yeah.
• 58:45
  Sushi. Sometime soon.
• 58:46
  Let's do that. I'm literally allergic.
• 58:48
  Invite Warren. Wait, Really, You are?
• 58:51
  Yes. When have you ever seen me eat
• 58:54
  sushi? Like you're allergic to
• 58:57
  everything? That's like a lot of a lot of
• 58:59
  fish stuff, like the oil that they emit like.
• 59:03
  Over it. Let's just go try it, dude.
• 59:05
  Yeah. I've done that before.
• 59:07
  What are you going to do in Japan?
• 59:08
  Just like cry. No, just take a Benadryl at
• 59:10
  night and hope that I wake up the next day.
• 59:11
  Oh. My God sounds.
• 59:13
  Like a good plan. I mean, they got a lot of like,
• 59:15
  I feel like Malcolm would love the food in Japan because it's
• 59:17
  just like the the fast food they have is just like.
• 59:20
  There's like, I've seen YouTube videos, people build like a
• 59:22
  lunch just at 7-11, yeah. There's tons of, yeah.
• 59:25
  It might be a little too nice for Malcolm. 711.
• 59:28
  Yeah, he. It might be taquitos aren't
• 59:30
  really enough. Yeah, he's going to be where the
• 59:32
  hot dog where the glizzies at. Nah, but.
• 59:35
  But I will say though, we would have a good time in that 711.
• 59:40
  We probably wouldn't have to leave.
• 59:41
  We wouldn't have to leave. We would just eat everything in
• 59:43
  there. I like all the food Malcolm
• 59:45
  likes because I know. Everyone does it.
• 59:48
  Junk food. Yeah, everyone.
• 59:50
  It's such a. It's such.
• 59:51
  A hot dog? Have you had a Chicago style
• 59:54
  hot? Dog.
• 59:54
  Nope. Is that with the hold on?
• 59:56
  Is that with a pickle on it? Onion.
• 1:00:00
  Pickle. Also relish celery, salt,
• 1:00:03
  tomato. Throw it all.
• 1:00:04
  Give me, give me. The works.
• 1:00:06
  They're boiled hot dogs, too, they say in Chicago.
• 1:00:08
  Drag it through the garden. Drag it through the garden.
• 1:00:11
  And if what if he actually started dragging it on the
• 1:00:13
  ground? Put it back in the bun I would
• 1:00:14
  still. Maybe at some places?
• 1:00:16
  Yeah, I will say there's no possible way it can be as bad as
• 1:00:19
  a pizza, so I'll try it. There's just no way it could.
• 1:00:22
  Be bro, I still want to try it, 'cause I feel like, I don't
• 1:00:25
  know, I'm that weird percentage that I might like it.
• 1:00:27
  Actually, let's talk about this. What's what?
• 1:00:30
  Who's got better? Pizza.
• 1:00:31
  Oh, no. Oh no.
• 1:00:34
  Yeah. Oh, no is right.
• 1:00:36
  Why we can talk about this? I'm sure you know by now that
• 1:00:39
  it's like deep dishes like specialty pizza.
• 1:00:42
  Yeah, garbage. So which one do you prefer?
• 1:00:47
  I like New York pizza. Oh, thank.
• 1:00:48
  God, alright, it's gonna be awkward if we had to kick him
• 1:00:51
  out like mid pod. But like how do I see the?
• 1:00:53
  Ones where like that shit is like looks like it would be
• 1:00:55
  crispy underneath, like it's sizzling.
• 1:00:57
  Like all you guys can talk about.
• 1:00:59
  Like the good thing about deep dish pizza.
• 1:01:01
  Like I would have. She has faith in it.
• 1:01:03
  Has have you had it yet? No, because we we didn't get
• 1:01:06
  that when you guys were there, you were.
• 1:01:08
  The only one that was like I want to do it.
• 1:01:10
  Yeah. And then Frankie was like, well,
• 1:01:11
  they're hanging out at Lee's house.
• 1:01:13
  There was a There was a place time to hang out.
• 1:01:15
  By me that actually did slices, deep dish slices, so you don't
• 1:01:19
  have to get a whole pizza and I feel like that'd be enough for
• 1:01:22
  you just to get one piece I. Don't even see how they could
• 1:01:24
  physically. Work.
• 1:01:24
  Why do I feel like that wouldn't?
• 1:01:27
  We just view it as a soup. Yeah, 'cause then this, If you
• 1:01:30
  get it by the slice, then isn't all the, like, sauce that's
• 1:01:33
  going to fly off of it? Like, it's not going to stay.
• 1:01:37
  Like the cheese isn't holding it.
• 1:01:38
  Like, what's going on? What do you mean like like you
• 1:01:41
  feel? Like as soon as you tomato cake.
• 1:01:43
  You feel like as soon as you take the pizza part.
• 1:01:44
  Everything is just going to fall.
• 1:01:46
  Because it's not. It's out of its.
• 1:01:47
  It does, It does. It does stay.
• 1:01:50
  Probably the other thing too is this place.
• 1:01:51
  Because it's by the slice, it's in the rotisserie, you know, so
• 1:01:54
  it's a little more crispy. OK, it's.
• 1:01:56
  Like, why is Malcolm laughing? So I would just in my head I was
• 1:01:59
  thinking of taking a slice. Out of a above.
• 1:02:01
  Ground pool in it. I don't.
• 1:02:02
  I don't. Know.
• 1:02:04
  That's literally what we're thinking of, yeah.
• 1:02:07
  I'm thinking of a cake. Yeah, I'm thinking a cake.
• 1:02:09
  Yeah, like like a. Cake stays together though.
• 1:02:11
  No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm talking about like a
• 1:02:13
  blueberry pie probably where when you cut it and you lift it
• 1:02:16
  up, all the shit flies out of it and you're like fuck filling,
• 1:02:19
  right? There's all the tomato sauce on
• 1:02:21
  the. All I know is that, like when
• 1:02:22
  you get that pizza, you're just disappointed.
• 1:02:25
  I tried to explain that to Carl like you don't.
• 1:02:27
  It's. Hard to disappoint me with food.
• 1:02:28
  I'm not going to lie. If it fills me up and gives me
• 1:02:30
  nutrients, I'm good to go. Like it comes out of the oven.
• 1:02:32
  You're like, now what do I do? You eat it?
• 1:02:35
  I guess. I drink it straw.
• 1:02:37
  Like, yeah. We just fucking segued so far.
• 1:02:41
  Again, it's heavy enough you don't have to fold it, OK?
• 1:02:45
  It it holds its shape, you don't.
• 1:02:46
  Well, you're supposed to fold pizza.
• 1:02:49
  That's how you hold it, but isn't.
• 1:02:50
  I'll admit, I'll admit I don't fold.
• 1:02:52
  My I'm literally like, you see my fingers right here, that
• 1:02:55
  middle piece or that that index finger is folding it.
• 1:02:58
  They these two are pinching it and you're not.
• 1:03:00
  You're not folding it and creasing it like a origami, like
• 1:03:03
  you're just holding it so you can.
• 1:03:05
  No, I read it quicker, yeah. I just, I don't do it because
• 1:03:08
  once you do that, all the all the fucking oil and grease just
• 1:03:11
  drip out. Now now you just got to move
• 1:03:13
  your hand though. Then I get reminded of how much
• 1:03:15
  of trash I'm eating. Do you like eating the crust?
• 1:03:18
  Hell yeah. OK, some people don't.
• 1:03:19
  Oh, I know. How do you just you just?
• 1:03:21
  Don't want to name drop us. Someone was here recently where
• 1:03:24
  we ate pizza and they didn't eat the crust and I was going to say
• 1:03:26
  something. They in the.
• 1:03:28
  Was it Mike Power? It.
• 1:03:30
  Could have been. No fucking way.
• 1:03:35
  No, you might. Need that pizza I'm about.
• 1:03:37
  To order right now. Look.
• 1:03:38
  Look. Look.
• 1:03:39
  Look. Look.
• 1:03:39
  Look. Look.
• 1:03:40
  Look. I will say though that that
• 1:03:41
  pizza was kind of mid and I probably wouldn't.
• 1:03:44
  We found the right spot. So did I I sent it to you on
• 1:03:46
  Instagram 10 times, bro. Malcolm.
• 1:03:49
  Literally. Johnny sent it to me like.
• 1:03:51
  You hungry? I'm starving bro.
• 1:03:53
  I had pizza for lunch, so. I don't care.
• 1:03:56
  It's perfect. You don't now it's like you had
• 1:03:57
  pizza and doesn't even. It's like you just had another
• 1:03:59
  leftover slice. They do order one pie.
• 1:04:01
  You get one free. Let's go.
• 1:04:03
  What place is this? Yeah, Can we?
• 1:04:04
  What is the place everyone knows?
• 1:04:06
  Domino's forgot. It's in Clifton Ralphs, bro.
• 1:04:11
  No, it's. Not Ralphs Tony's.
• 1:04:14
  Tony's. Tony's.
• 1:04:15
  You know how many Tony's, Tony's in Clifton.
• 1:04:20
  That's the fucking place. Do you know how many tone I
• 1:04:23
  guarantee? You're probably going to call a
• 1:04:24
  muffler shop or something. Yeah, Tony's Tony.
• 1:04:27
  'S Tony's Mufflers. That pizza.
• 1:04:29
  No, that that pizza is not number one in my book, but it's
• 1:04:34
  fucking up there. Kinsley's in Ramsey.
• 1:04:36
  Room. No, I'm good on that.
• 1:04:38
  I'm not a think respect person. I am.
• 1:04:40
  I respect it. I'm not that person.
• 1:04:42
  Thank you. I.
• 1:04:42
  Appreciate that's all you got to say.
• 1:04:44
  But yeah, Tony's Clifton. Check it out.
• 1:04:47
  Good pizza. It's like everybody's bagel spot
• 1:04:49
  here that I've learned. You find the one and then you
• 1:04:52
  just ride or die for that bagel or pizza spot.
• 1:04:54
  Yeah, it's my comfort space. I know exactly where mine is.
• 1:04:57
  It's nowhere near my house. It's nowhere near anywhere.
• 1:05:00
  It's not the one that's in my town right now, even though it's
• 1:05:02
  not bad. Bagels are way more important to
• 1:05:04
  me than pizza. Yeah.
• 1:05:06
  Way more important, 'cause I don't actually like pizza that
• 1:05:08
  much. But you like bagels.
• 1:05:10
  Bacon, egg and cheese. Fuck yeah.
• 1:05:12
  Yeah, Taylor, him. Egg and cheese.
• 1:05:13
  Yeah, I mean, I. Don't know, I started.
• 1:05:14
  To back off on the bagels when I found out how many pieces of
• 1:05:18
  bread oh, it's. Terrible.
• 1:05:19
  Like, it's like 5. It's a lot.
• 1:05:21
  It's terrible. Well, more than five.
• 1:05:23
  I think it's like 8. Really.
• 1:05:24
  I always heard it was five. Yeah, dude.
• 1:05:26
  Five is maybe not that bad. That's like 2 sandwiches.
• 1:05:28
  I get a bacon, egg and cheese once that.
• 1:05:30
  Like I get one like once a quarter, if that, probably less,
• 1:05:33
  probably once every, like probably twice a year.
• 1:05:35
  Here's my hot take. I don't think Taylor Ham is
• 1:05:37
  really that good. Me either.
• 1:05:38
  Really. That shit tastes like fucking
• 1:05:41
  spam. I'll just go eat Spam if I.
• 1:05:43
  Want. But I wouldn't call it a pork
• 1:05:44
  roll, I could tell you that. Did you hear me call it a pork
• 1:05:47
  roll 'cause it's Taylor Ham for? Me Personal.
• 1:05:49
  If you're down there, you got to order it like that, though.
• 1:05:51
  Who are you? Yeah, that's when you do, you
• 1:05:53
  have. Like, did you have bagel shops
• 1:05:55
  in Chicago? Does that exist?
• 1:05:56
  No, it's not. So what do you have for
• 1:05:57
  breakfast? They just, they suffer.
• 1:06:01
  Yeah, they suffer. I'm serious.
• 1:06:03
  Pizza. What do you mean, deep dish?
• 1:06:06
  I I still haven't made it to a bagel place in Illinois yet.
• 1:06:09
  So I don't know. I don't know.
• 1:06:11
  Oh my God, did we? Even.
• 1:06:13
  See any? No.
• 1:06:14
  We had to have, dude. Probably not.
• 1:06:15
  But honestly, they they probably, they probably have
• 1:06:18
  some. I don't want to say this, but I
• 1:06:21
  want to say it. They might have some decent
• 1:06:22
  bagels in Chicago. Why do you think that?
• 1:06:25
  I don't know. It's definitely, it definitely
• 1:06:28
  would have to be a mom and pop type place.
• 1:06:30
  No, obviously no chain. Yeah, I mean, no one's gonna
• 1:06:33
  beat the East Coast, but it's true.
• 1:06:34
  I mean, no one's gonna beat this area, not the East Coast, 'cause
• 1:06:38
  there's a whole. New Jersey go, there's going to
• 1:06:40
  be a formula that comes out in California.
• 1:06:43
  I've already seen like some random pizzas in California.
• 1:06:46
  I don't know why they're on my time.
• 1:06:47
  No, everything in California sucks.
• 1:06:48
  But like, but like, I see a picture of it and I'm like, that
• 1:06:52
  looks like a normal fucking piece of pizza.
• 1:06:54
  Yeah, until you eat it and you're like, what in the?
• 1:06:55
  Fuck. Not until you pay for it.
• 1:06:57
  That's yeah, yeah, take out a loan.
• 1:07:00
  I remember. I'm gonna, I'm gonna fucking
• 1:07:03
  throw Jesse under the bus right now.
• 1:07:05
  We were trying to get our final bout or our Super D trip across
• 1:07:08
  the country. We were trying to get breakfast
• 1:07:10
  in in Las Vegas. And Jesse, Jesse, it's your
• 1:07:13
  turn. He fucking picks a bagel spot.
• 1:07:17
  And I would in my head I'm like pink.
• 1:07:19
  This is a bad idea. But OK, so we drive to this
• 1:07:21
  place, We get bagels. I threw my shit out.
• 1:07:24
  I took two bites. I threw it out.
• 1:07:26
  I'm like, what in the fuck? It tasted like A roll, like a
• 1:07:30
  like A roll. I don't know what to.
• 1:07:31
  Tell you it tasted like it was just really, really bad.
• 1:07:33
  It like it was probably like cardboard.
• 1:07:35
  Bad bagels exist here too, bruv. Oh, I know there's a spot on
• 1:07:39
  Route 17 on the way here. I'll never go to it and it's the
• 1:07:41
  most convenient bagel spot. To go to.
• 1:07:44
  On the way here. Goldbergs.
• 1:07:46
  No, it's not. Goldbergs Goldbergs.
• 1:07:47
  There was one in Ramsey and I used to Goldbergs.
• 1:07:49
  Usually OK. I haven't been yet, but.
• 1:07:51
  Bonos bagels on 17, dude. 17 Southbound right by the Bendix
• 1:07:55
  Steiner that that bagel place fucking sucks and it is packed
• 1:08:00
  every weekend. I'm like what is wrong with you
• 1:08:01
  people? What you should do is get on
• 1:08:03
  northbound for a little while, go to Ramsey, go to Bonos.
• 1:08:06
  I know it's another halfway. Yeah, I know.
• 1:08:08
  It's another hour out of wait. Where?
• 1:08:10
  Is it? But come back down to work.
• 1:08:11
  Bueno's Bagels. They used to be right smack dab
• 1:08:14
  in the middle of town. There's actually like a bunch of
• 1:08:15
  bagel places I would recommend in my hometown if you're
• 1:08:17
  anywhere near this area. Mahwah, New Jersey, Ramsey, NJ
• 1:08:20
  area. I don't live there anymore, but.
• 1:08:21
  Isn't there a bagel spot off Route 17 in that strip mall?
• 1:08:25
  That's the one I'm talking. About I knew it.
• 1:08:27
  Bueno's bagels, I heard. I've been going there for my
• 1:08:29
  entire fucking life. My house, my parents old house
• 1:08:32
  was right there, but then there was another one in town that was
• 1:08:35
  called Bagel Stop and I think they changed it to something
• 1:08:37
  else. And then there was another one
• 1:08:38
  where was good. Ronnie's bagels in Hillsdale
• 1:08:40
  Goldberg. That shit I fuck with Heavy.
• 1:08:42
  You probably had that. Was that your hometown?
• 1:08:44
  That was it, yeah. That was where I went.
• 1:08:46
  You got any core memories from that spot, Frankie?
• 1:08:48
  Oh yeah, I got one. OK, give me one, give.
• 1:08:51
  Give us one. Eric, let's Let's see what
• 1:08:53
  Frankie's got in his. In his memory.
• 1:08:55
  Yeah, core memory of a of your bagel store.
• 1:08:58
  You know, I take it back. I don't even.
• 1:09:00
  Fucking remember? Thank God I thought you were.
• 1:09:01
  Something that happened outside. Am I trying to dig it out?
• 1:09:04
  Yeah. One time I was so hungover when
• 1:09:08
  I walked into the bagel store that I drank so much water
• 1:09:10
  before leaving the house that I had to walk out of the bagel
• 1:09:12
  store around the back, pull trig and go back inside.
• 1:09:16
  Never heard. Did you eat more?
• 1:09:19
  I didn't even eat yet. I just was hungover and drank
• 1:09:21
  too much water and then to go to come back out.
• 1:09:23
  OK. Bet that bagel store man, that's
• 1:09:25
  like, that was like, textbook. Nah, I mean, yeah, the bagel
• 1:09:29
  store, dude. That's where, like, that's where
• 1:09:31
  shit got done. That's the spot.
• 1:09:33
  Yeah, like that's. Many days, you know, if I was
• 1:09:35
  going into work early or whatever, stop Taylor and Megan
• 1:09:39
  cheese and eat it on the way to. Work so you you're you eat the
• 1:09:42
  tailor ham. I do.
• 1:09:43
  That's good. That's good for you, man.
• 1:09:44
  I like that. I like you're taking the, you're
• 1:09:46
  taking the jersey in and. Oh, definitely.
• 1:09:48
  I definitely have. Yeah, I feel like even when my
• 1:09:51
  friend showed me that, I was like, what the fuck?
• 1:09:54
  That's spam. Like.
• 1:09:56
  Whatever, if you have. If you swap Taylor Ham with
• 1:09:59
  spam, honestly. It's probably going to be.
• 1:10:01
  Good. It would smack so hard, yeah.
• 1:10:03
  Oh my God, doesn't it cut thicker?
• 1:10:05
  It's just it's saltier. In my opinion, Taylor Ham is
• 1:10:08
  pretty salty. It's more.
• 1:10:10
  Really, it's more when they make a 35% less one and it still
• 1:10:14
  tastes salty. That's bad.
• 1:10:19
  We didn't talk about judging for the past hour.
• 1:10:20
  We're fucked. Great with for me.
• 1:10:22
  Fuck, I don't fucking care. Do people normally like when you
• 1:10:26
  talk? About I think people I don't
• 1:10:27
  know us talking about random shit more than drifting.
• 1:10:31
  Yeah, OK. I do think so.
• 1:10:32
  I can see how it can get old after you know a certain.
• 1:10:35
  Amount of time, Yeah, I mean, drifting's cool.
• 1:10:38
  I've just got to drift more and once I start drifting more it's
• 1:10:40
  going to be way more fun. For me to talk about it, but I
• 1:10:41
  agree it's been a hiatus for me too.
• 1:10:43
  When you get back to drifting, do you think you're going to
• 1:10:48
  like drifting more or and forget about taking photos?
• 1:10:51
  Are you going to still find a way to like, do those two
• 1:10:54
  things? When I still had the Red Miata,
• 1:10:57
  I was doing both. Like you'd be at an event,
• 1:11:00
  drifting and then you'll. Be like Oh no, not that I
• 1:11:02
  couldn't changing mag what they got.
• 1:11:04
  Maybe if it was like a two day event and I'm already there,
• 1:11:07
  like if we were in, if I was still living in Illinois and
• 1:11:10
  Wisconsin and maybe friends were driving you know I could sure as
• 1:11:13
  enough ask if I could shoot the following day.
• 1:11:15
  They probably would be cool with it.
• 1:11:17
  Yeah. It's a little next year you're
• 1:11:19
  going to drive, Eric, with no less, but we're going to, we're
• 1:11:21
  going to drive definitely. Well, he's getting his car
• 1:11:23
  ready. So what are you going to put in
• 1:11:25
  the back of that thing? Like a like a welded or
• 1:11:27
  something. That, or I'm thinking about
• 1:11:30
  actually putting A2 way in. Oh shit.
• 1:11:32
  I don't know. Chris, you heard that That's
• 1:11:35
  Chris's least favorite thing to do here.
• 1:11:37
  Oh, what? Doing backlash or whatever.
• 1:11:40
  It's. Called.
• 1:11:40
  Yep, but he knows it now like the back of his hand, so it's
• 1:11:44
  good. I don't even know what the back
• 1:11:46
  of my. Fucking what?
• 1:11:49
  What's that over? There.
• 1:11:50
  I don't know. But you did mention you sent
• 1:11:52
  Malcolm some photos, so I wanted to make sure we put some time
• 1:11:55
  away to look at them so you could explain some of the
• 1:11:57
  feeling and the emotion that you may have had that made you want
• 1:12:00
  to take them. That is correct, right?
• 1:12:02
  Like that's what. We're going to need, yeah, yeah.
• 1:12:03
  Just, you know. I I just want to make sure that
• 1:12:06
  your hard work is not, you know, lost.
• 1:12:09
  We have a delay over here, Eric. So it's you're not you're
• 1:12:13
  probably not going to have. To Well, that was.
• 1:12:14
  That was the photo. We're just damn, these are fire.
• 1:12:17
  Oh my God. There's a Frankie One.
• 1:12:19
  You want to start with Frankie's photo?
• 1:12:20
  No, no, no, no, no. We could.
• 1:12:23
  Start with the oldest one. Do you know what the oldest one
• 1:12:25
  would be? Oh damn it, the.
• 1:12:27
  Old The oldest one just might. It's just AI.
• 1:12:29
  Think a stationary photo of your car, Really.
• 1:12:33
  The 1 from 2016. Where's the 2016?
• 1:12:35
  Can you make it bigger or no? Yeah, do I have that one?
• 1:12:38
  I don't think I have that one. Did you download everything?
• 1:12:41
  I I kind of sent some other ones after the fact, like later on
• 1:12:45
  after. He's on like the thread of.
• 1:12:48
  Emails. Unless Frankie didn't send them
• 1:12:49
  all to me. Go on.
• 1:12:51
  Is it? No, that's not Frankie.
• 1:12:52
  It's quite awesome. Maybe I didn't open that one.
• 1:12:55
  Gosh darn it. I mean, I did this.
• 1:12:57
  Maybe I just. I was.
• 1:12:59
  I had a folder and I just, like, was panicking, grabbing stuff.
• 1:13:02
  So maybe. I guess I didn't send it.
• 1:13:03
  All right, Never mind. OK.
• 1:13:05
  Regardless, we'll start at that top one.
• 1:13:08
  Is that Josh? Who is that?
• 1:13:10
  Black and white. Yeah, black and white.
• 1:13:12
  That's. Josh's car that was Super D.
• 1:13:14
  So this was the event that Frankie drove with the comp that
• 1:13:18
  we were mentioning. Earlier.
• 1:13:19
  Yeah, yeah, that photo. Yeah, that's a cool photo.
• 1:13:23
  It's a cool photo. I mean this is.
• 1:13:24
  I'm a by the way, let's can you put.
• 1:13:26
  Yourself in that position, Yeah. Where are you spectating from?
• 1:13:29
  Frankie, do you remember at all how it was set up?
• 1:13:31
  Like, yeah, I do. You know, intermediate.
• 1:13:34
  Coming up the hill, back to grid.
• 1:13:36
  Yep. And this is that US air this.
• 1:13:38
  Is that this is that turn? Yes, This Is Us.
• 1:13:40
  Air the layout is not set up the normal.
• 1:13:42
  Layout and they put us, it was interesting, they put the
• 1:13:44
  spectators right at the end of the of the course here and I,
• 1:13:48
  you know obviously Josh was competing and this is probably
• 1:13:51
  like a celebratory kind of arm out the window kind of deal.
• 1:13:54
  OK, so this is after he won or took second place.
• 1:13:56
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like, you know, there's kind
• 1:13:59
  of, you know, in the blurry areas you can see someone taking
• 1:14:01
  a picture. I mean, the best part to me of
• 1:14:03
  this photo is Pat and his wife. You know what's funny?
• 1:14:07
  When I opened this up and the the I posted this photo on
• 1:14:11
  Instagram cropped in. But when I found the actual
• 1:14:14
  photo, I was like, oh shit, there's Pat and Ann, yeah.
• 1:14:16
  That that is really cool. And another thing that's cool
• 1:14:19
  is, is that a cornfield behind there?
• 1:14:22
  Ed, you bet your sweet ass it is.
• 1:14:24
  So that is like this really doesn't get any better at
• 1:14:29
  expressing what final bout is to us.
• 1:14:31
  Yeah, it's just corn drifting, Josh being happy.
• 1:14:36
  Spectators. Pat and Anne in the back
• 1:14:38
  watching what's going on at their facility, someone drinking
• 1:14:41
  a beer or whatever that is allegedly and then someone on a
• 1:14:44
  phone videoing it. Cause phones are huge at final
• 1:14:47
  bout. Yeah, this is like the best
• 1:14:49
  final bout photo. That was an amazing.
• 1:14:51
  But it's not a final bout. But you get what I'm saying,
• 1:14:52
  that. Was an amazing analysis by
• 1:14:54
  Frankie right now. Yeah, now I get it.
• 1:14:56
  Now I can work at an Art Museum. There you go.
• 1:14:59
  And what emotion does it give you?
• 1:15:01
  You can also you can also well you can also relate to this
• 1:15:04
  photo. Too.
• 1:15:05
  That's the problem if I couldn't relate to this photo.
• 1:15:07
  But that's that's why someone speaks about art.
• 1:15:10
  The way they do is 'cause they have a connection to it.
• 1:15:12
  So they need to like, explain it.
• 1:15:13
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. They need to Like.
• 1:15:16
  Depending on who you are, you can see the way someone's
• 1:15:18
  looking at something and maybe ask them.
• 1:15:20
  You seem like the type of person that would go to like a Art
• 1:15:22
  Museum. Are we going the counter route
• 1:15:24
  with this? Yeah, that is crazy.
• 1:15:26
  How are? You going to assume that he's
• 1:15:28
  also goes to art? Museum.
• 1:15:29
  I do. You do.
• 1:15:30
  You ever been to DIA Beacon? No.
• 1:15:32
  Up in New York? No.
• 1:15:33
  It's pretty cool. You should go.
• 1:15:34
  What about I really want to go to the one in New York City,
• 1:15:38
  MoMA the. Museum of Modern.
• 1:15:40
  Yeah, you want to go to the Museum of Modern Art?
• 1:15:42
  Last time I was there I was like a 10, so I would like to go
• 1:15:46
  back. You should go.
• 1:15:47
  All right, I'm down to go. Let's all go when we get the
• 1:15:49
  choppers going, baby. Don't you worry, I'm out dude.
• 1:15:53
  Can't we? Just go normally.
• 1:15:54
  Let's go on a train or something.
• 1:15:55
  No, because I want to park on the sidewalk.
• 1:15:58
  Active. Derek does it all the time.
• 1:16:00
  All right, next photo. Oh, it's.
• 1:16:03
  Me. I don't know.
• 1:16:05
  Malcolm Pop the photo. This is the photo, by the way.
• 1:16:07
  For those of you who don't know, this is the photo that's in the
• 1:16:10
  office that we point at all the time that we were referencing
• 1:16:12
  earlier. Because, you know, alright,
• 1:16:14
  everybody tunes in it though. Eric, what do you like about
• 1:16:16
  this photo? I like this photo because to me,
• 1:16:18
  shooting at this spot, this is at US Air.
• 1:16:21
  For those who don't know, this is the balcony, this is the
• 1:16:23
  wall, this is where everyone spectates.
• 1:16:25
  To me, a cool photo on the balcony is front brake lock and
• 1:16:30
  that's. Exactly why I like this photo.
• 1:16:31
  Too so many pictures. Is that really locked up?
• 1:16:36
  Yeah. Yeah, that's front.
• 1:16:37
  That's why the smoke coming off of.
• 1:16:38
  It yeah, yeah. Yeah, and. 4 wheel skid.
• 1:16:41
  It technically is, yeah. No, that's my favorite thing.
• 1:16:43
  If I could get the car to do that on video.
• 1:16:45
  It does look sick 'cause it you're just like.
• 1:16:47
  Yeah, it's still going. As long as you have a slow
• 1:16:50
  enough shutter speed that you're blurring out the background, you
• 1:16:52
  know? And it looks like it's going
• 1:16:54
  1,000,000 miles an hour and the wheels are locked up.
• 1:16:56
  That's fucking rad. Yeah.
• 1:16:58
  So that to. Me.
• 1:16:59
  When I would see old photos from Club Fr media like and seek
• 1:17:03
  drivers doing this, that's what I wanted to emulate.
• 1:17:07
  Yeah, my one of my favorite drifting photos was front brake
• 1:17:10
  locking up. Oh, I know who it was.
• 1:17:11
  It was Kyle Landers of Drift Faction I think at at Raceway
• 1:17:15
  Park and I think he was doing the first corner.
• 1:17:18
  I want to say it was him. It might not even be him.
• 1:17:21
  It might have been JCR. But yeah, and he was entering
• 1:17:25
  and this front brace was locked up and he was just smoking like
• 1:17:27
  a motherfucker. He's just sick standing.
• 1:17:29
  On. It it just looks like he's has
• 1:17:31
  no control right now. Like what the fuck is about to
• 1:17:33
  happen? Yeah, I love there's a there's a
• 1:17:35
  fine line between front brake lock cool and front brake lock.
• 1:17:39
  Yeah. I'll I'll tell you what I also
• 1:17:42
  like about the photo is just the from a car aspect, everything is
• 1:17:47
  on the same whatever you call that color spectrum or whatever
• 1:17:52
  it everything. Everything is silver,
• 1:17:55
  everything's white like Chrome, like everything is there.
• 1:18:00
  There's minimal red. The only thing that's red is the
• 1:18:01
  tail lights. Just the lens and I would figure
• 1:18:05
  out a way to make that less stickery out.
• 1:18:08
  I guess is the word, but that I love.
• 1:18:12
  That. Picture of the car.
• 1:18:14
  Thanks, Carl. I like your car, dude.
• 1:18:16
  I love my car in this photo. I tell you to put it on the
• 1:18:18
  ground every fucking day. Shout out whoever printed it out
• 1:18:21
  for you. That was Joe Diffie, who used to
• 1:18:24
  be our screen printer, right? Dude, that photo looks like it
• 1:18:27
  just got pulled out of the flood, man.
• 1:18:29
  Yeah, it it's, it was really wrinkled, yeah, unfortunately.
• 1:18:32
  It looks like it's literally been.
• 1:18:33
  It's not. It's not a.
• 1:18:34
  Fine photo. I think he just printed that
• 1:18:36
  shit at his like, house or some shit.
• 1:18:39
  Like, I mean, I did used to do the same thing, dude, when I was
• 1:18:41
  at college I would print everybody big prints of their
• 1:18:45
  car. I wish my blitz were on the
• 1:18:47
  back, but then at the same time I kind of don't.
• 1:18:49
  So it kind of works. I'm I don't know if this is a
• 1:18:53
  hot take, but I personally don't like those back.
• 1:18:55
  Wheels. A lot of people don't like those
• 1:18:56
  wheels. I feel.
• 1:18:57
  Did you? See the Instagram account that
• 1:18:58
  exists first? Serve to hate.
• 1:19:01
  Just hating, I believe. It there's an Instagram account.
• 1:19:04
  Somebody tell you why I don't like it.
• 1:19:06
  It goes too much of A thin to the hub.
• 1:19:09
  To the middle okay. Yeah, see?
• 1:19:10
  What you're saying? I like them because they're just
• 1:19:12
  ridiculous and. Two Dub edition.
• 1:19:14
  Yeah, they look like they should be on some fucking.
• 1:19:15
  Nightclub 3 exactly. Blowing hearts.
• 1:19:18
  I like that style. Kind of wait till I get some
• 1:19:20
  Ashantis on the koya Dude, you're it's over.
• 1:19:23
  I don't. Fucking and The thing is the
• 1:19:24
  blitz are, the blitz are the same way to me.
• 1:19:26
  I know other people don't view them like that, but I view them
• 1:19:28
  as like ridiculously. Please keep doing that crazy.
• 1:19:30
  They are very jewel like. Yeah.
• 1:19:33
  Exactly. Because they're, you know a
• 1:19:34
  three piece in the in the, you know, the studs are shiny and
• 1:19:38
  the whole deal the the spokes are like, not not just smooth,
• 1:19:42
  they're kind of like multifaceted, yeah.
• 1:19:45
  It literally looks dual. Like description is an extremely
• 1:19:49
  good description, 'cause I'm like, yeah, everything is kind
• 1:19:52
  of poof, poof, poof. Yeah, on it like Jewel, like are
• 1:19:55
  those GMRS? All right.
• 1:19:58
  Next photo. Is it, is it Mark Martino.
• 1:20:01
  Blue. Yes.
• 1:20:02
  Yeah. White.
• 1:20:03
  OK. Yeah, I mean, Mike wait 2002.
• 1:20:08
  That's Mike's car that is right. Like Martino or design shop
• 1:20:12
  React. That's his car before.
• 1:20:14
  Yes, this was fine about gallery.
• 1:20:15
  Holy. Crap.
• 1:20:17
  I think the car is originally white, but I don't.
• 1:20:21
  I don't know anything. But yeah, I mean underglow.
• 1:20:25
  Did those cars, those cars were fucking Immaculate?
• 1:20:30
  I don't know. If it was like final.
• 1:20:31
  Which one was this? This was Gallery.
• 1:20:33
  Yeah, Gallery was probably. 120. 19 Gallery was the one where
• 1:20:36
  they looked fucking awesome. I don't know.
• 1:20:38
  Why? To me, Gallery was just like
• 1:20:40
  such a pinnacle of an event. Yeah, just like everything was.
• 1:20:44
  If the cars all looked great, yeah, that, that right there.
• 1:20:47
  You know what's funny too? For this event I was AI was a
• 1:20:51
  spotter for somebody. Yeah, It wasn't even like Actual
• 1:20:54
  accredited me because. Because it was a it was a comp.
• 1:20:58
  Was. I think it.
• 1:21:00
  It kind of was right. They did individual.
• 1:21:02
  Individuals from each team, I believe.
• 1:21:05
  No, no, no, no. I think it was.
• 1:21:06
  Just individual. Gallery was no teams.
• 1:21:09
  Yeah, it was like a exhibition event.
• 1:21:11
  Everybody for themselves. They should do more of those.
• 1:21:13
  It was very cool. I think the team.
• 1:21:16
  The team thing is great, but yeah, the the individual thing
• 1:21:20
  too, you know? So what I love about this photo
• 1:21:22
  is the reflection of the lights above the car.
• 1:21:27
  Whatever. Oh, you just you kind of like
• 1:21:28
  the little. Yeah.
• 1:21:29
  Dude, what is it called? A light.
• 1:21:31
  Leak. Those are some shit.
• 1:21:32
  They're kind. I don't know exactly what
• 1:21:34
  they're called, but yeah, they're not light leaks, but
• 1:21:37
  they're almost like the lens reflecting off of like I I
• 1:21:42
  literally, I don't know how to describe it.
• 1:21:44
  And you don't mean to do that stuff.
• 1:21:45
  Obviously, no, no, not at all. That's just happens to be.
• 1:21:48
  That's like kind of that thing with photography, it's there's a
• 1:21:52
  lot of luck, so. Here's how I'm kind of viewing
• 1:21:54
  drifting Photography. OK, you take a bunch of photos,
• 1:21:57
  obviously you have to know what you're doing, but somewhat you
• 1:22:00
  take a bunch of photos and you go home.
• 1:22:02
  I feel like the key is selecting the ones that you're going to
• 1:22:06
  release to the world and doing whatever you have to do.
• 1:22:09
  Edit a little bit here and there.
• 1:22:10
  Depending on what you want to do.
• 1:22:12
  Yeah, 'cause that's. Like that's the key.
• 1:22:13
  You know what? I fucking should have brought
• 1:22:15
  like Roz. I could have like showed what it
• 1:22:17
  looked like before and. After like the papers.
• 1:22:19
  Hindsight, hindsight, Always 2020, but.
• 1:22:22
  Because I I don't know, man. I like I feel like you probably
• 1:22:25
  saw that too, like you saw the the way this the light looks.
• 1:22:28
  Yeah, and that's definitely something.
• 1:22:29
  I'm not like, oh, I'm gonna go for that, you know, that's just
• 1:22:32
  like a a luck of the draw and it, you know, to the to another
• 1:22:34
  photographer. They might go into Photoshop and
• 1:22:36
  get rid of those. Exactly.
• 1:22:38
  Is it a flex? To help?
• 1:22:39
  Let let's say let's say I we are standing next to each other and
• 1:22:43
  we both tried to take this kind of photo, right?
• 1:22:45
  Is it a flex as a photographer if I took 200 shots to get this
• 1:22:53
  photo versus you who like wait were waiting till the right time
• 1:22:57
  and then you just like took like 10 and then you got that?
• 1:23:00
  I mean that's and that's honestly that's the case
• 1:23:02
  sometimes because people just have better equipment.
• 1:23:05
  Like I don't shoot on the nicest stuff.
• 1:23:06
  Somebody with like a one DX might have the ability to shoot
• 1:23:10
  hundreds of frames per second or whatever, and A1 DX can shoot at
• 1:23:14
  and they can get that. They could get that, you know?
• 1:23:17
  What's a one DX? It's just like a probably the
• 1:23:19
  top tier Canon body you can get I shoot on.
• 1:23:23
  Canon I was going to ask you that.
• 1:23:24
  Yeah, we can go to. We can talk.
• 1:23:25
  Can you make the the image bigger?
• 1:23:27
  Like even take up the whole screen possibly when we're
• 1:23:30
  talking about it? Because now I think I might have
• 1:23:33
  to save it. OK, and then never mind.
• 1:23:36
  Yeah, I just. I just want everyone to see the
• 1:23:38
  photos. I think that that photo's also
• 1:23:39
  on my Instagram as well for the for the ones motivated to, you
• 1:23:43
  know, see it or. I mean, honestly, man, these
• 1:23:46
  are, yeah, it's some really fucking good.
• 1:23:48
  Photos. I know that's why when you said
• 1:23:50
  I don't really shoot on the grade, I'm like.
• 1:23:53
  Yeah, dude, that. Looks pretty fucking great to
• 1:23:55
  me. There's there's like a handful
• 1:23:56
  of photographers that I I remember Connor's one of them.
• 1:24:00
  You're one of them. And another one is, I don't even
• 1:24:02
  know his name. I remember his.
• 1:24:04
  You probably know I remember his Instagram name.
• 1:24:06
  It was like GVBZ or something. He's shot at Englishtown.
• 1:24:11
  Not sure bro, not. Sure, his photos were like Next
• 1:24:15
  level. Shit, I was like James maybe.
• 1:24:19
  I don't know if his Instagram would be the.
• 1:24:21
  Same is that his name is a Graves or.
• 1:24:23
  Oh, maybe, yeah. Something with AG, regardless,
• 1:24:26
  he just released. AI found it a.
• 1:24:27
  Club Loose album. Greg Valley Valanotti or
• 1:24:31
  something. This is the guy.
• 1:24:33
  I don't think he does this, like, often.
• 1:24:35
  Well, maybe he does, 'cause that's his whole Instagram.
• 1:24:37
  But yeah, it's dude. He had some photos of my cartoon
• 1:24:43
  and then everyone that I he, I think he was like a turn the
• 1:24:46
  first turn at E Town. He would always take photos
• 1:24:47
  there and dude, those photos, those entry photos would be
• 1:24:51
  sick. Nah, these are cool.
• 1:24:53
  Yeah, should have him on the podcast.
• 1:24:55
  Yeah, we really should. We were.
• 1:24:56
  We're trying to get more media people.
• 1:24:58
  I think that's I think that's great because there's you know
• 1:25:01
  cameras are so readily available everywhere in so many photos I
• 1:25:06
  take like on grid that are shooting back into the crowd
• 1:25:09
  like at US Air everyone has a camera, you know, and I don't
• 1:25:14
  know if their plan would be to eventually do media, but you
• 1:25:17
  know it's that's how that's how I got my start.
• 1:25:19
  I was a spectator. You know I was in the crowd just
• 1:25:23
  taking pictures in front and behind people and using people
• 1:25:27
  as foreground to like frame shots.
• 1:25:29
  You know there's that's how you you get started.
• 1:25:32
  You just got to do it. I I want to keep going through
• 1:25:34
  these photos, but I want to sidetrack.
• 1:25:36
  What is your motivation for doing this?
• 1:25:40
  To take pictures, yeah. To stay close to drifting.
• 1:25:44
  OK, that's a that's a really good it's like.
• 1:25:46
  Your your Ave. to get. To stay close to drifting, for
• 1:25:52
  when I eventually come back to drifting, 'cause I'm away.
• 1:25:55
  I'm away from it right now. Yeah.
• 1:25:57
  Yeah, you know, OK, 'cause that's like, that's that was how
• 1:26:00
  I started. I was like, well, now I like I
• 1:26:02
  told you guys, I started drifting, then I started doing
• 1:26:05
  media. So it was like it's.
• 1:26:06
  So weird. So, like, so you're not even
• 1:26:09
  really like like you don't do this for a living.
• 1:26:12
  You don't. It's just fun.
• 1:26:13
  Which is a lot of the media guys.
• 1:26:15
  Yeah, I mean they a lot of these media guys don't do it.
• 1:26:17
  For a living. It's a, it's a it's a labor of
• 1:26:20
  love type of thing. Yeah.
• 1:26:21
  I mean, what the hell? None of us are professionals
• 1:26:23
  that doing anything that we do. Everything's a labor of love.
• 1:26:26
  I feel like in this community and that's what makes it kind of
• 1:26:27
  awesome. I'm.
• 1:26:29
  Just looking at these photos like, holy shit.
• 1:26:31
  Yeah, is it this one? Wait, which?
• 1:26:33
  Let's go to the next one. I guess the Tom one.
• 1:26:37
  Tom's picture. Man, fuck this dude shit.
• 1:26:41
  Carl and Tom have beef. Crazy.
• 1:26:43
  That's crazy. That's true.
• 1:26:45
  Tom literally has said that he hates me.
• 1:26:48
  So this. Is cool, I see.
• 1:26:49
  You're. Trying to do something else
• 1:26:50
  here. Yeah, this is an overlay.
• 1:26:53
  This is just obviously two photos put together, stitched
• 1:26:56
  together in Photoshop. Kind of standing by tree turn.
• 1:27:01
  Yeah, for the bottom one and then kind of standing by the
• 1:27:03
  wall at E tone. OK, yeah, this is this is them
• 1:27:07
  before their cars went different colors or?
• 1:27:10
  Went yeah, this was the 1st. Yes, yeah, this was like, fuck,
• 1:27:14
  I can't remember what year this was.
• 1:27:15
  This was probably 20 or 19. Yeah, that might sound right.
• 1:27:20
  And then? Tom's car looks good as hell
• 1:27:22
  right there, man, though it was. Cool.
• 1:27:24
  You know how to admit right there, man.
• 1:27:27
  Even though you guys have beef. Yeah, I totally forgot.
• 1:27:30
  The car still looks OK. It looks great, dude.
• 1:27:32
  And Tom's a rowdy driver too. So like, I feel like when I look
• 1:27:35
  at this, like I'm like the handbrake pull on brake, you
• 1:27:38
  know he's going to try to pitch it in an aggressive fashion.
• 1:27:42
  Yeah, I mean this looks like they're heading towards this.
• 1:27:44
  Looks like it's XDC to me, but I don't know if it.
• 1:27:46
  Is. Yeah, it is.
• 1:27:47
  They don't. They go left and they don't do
• 1:27:49
  tree. I don't know the whole layouts
• 1:27:50
  of English town front to back, but yeah, that's what they are.
• 1:27:54
  Doing throw it into the middle section.
• 1:27:55
  Yes, that's exactly what it was. Yeah.
• 1:27:57
  So this is XDC regular, not reverse.
• 1:28:00
  Yeah. OK.
• 1:28:01
  But post processing is not like in my head.
• 1:28:04
  I would love to make something like that.
• 1:28:06
  And then in my head I also play what I think it would look like
• 1:28:10
  and it does not look like that in my head, like that looks
• 1:28:14
  really good. This is a good example of like
• 1:28:17
  you're finished editing, you know you want to, you like these
• 1:28:22
  two photos, but you want to do something, maybe to incorporate
• 1:28:24
  them all. And maybe people like you guys
• 1:28:27
  have seen what I post on Instagram.
• 1:28:28
  I post like the carousels of photos where you swipe and it's
• 1:28:32
  continuous. Something like that you could do
• 1:28:34
  with this photo, you know. Yeah, you know, I'm thinking
• 1:28:37
  about like if I just saw the bottom photo, I wouldn't like
• 1:28:39
  it. Yeah, I would like it.
• 1:28:42
  There's, but I see what you're doing.
• 1:28:44
  There's a There's also like a fine line between, like how
• 1:28:47
  blurry a photo could be before. It's like, not good to me, OK,
• 1:28:51
  You know? Well, also you.
• 1:28:53
  There's also, I feel like that fine line of, like, how much can
• 1:28:56
  you like the colors and everything?
• 1:28:59
  They look great, like you ever see a photo and then it's like
• 1:29:03
  so overly saturated. Yeah, I get what you're saying
• 1:29:05
  and I'm like maybe that their intention or maybe their eye for
• 1:29:08
  what they were going for just doesn't agree with what I like.
• 1:29:11
  Totally subjective. It's totally subjective.
• 1:29:13
  But man, you you got a great eye for the colors and stuff.
• 1:29:16
  Yeah, and another thing you're really good at capturing is
• 1:29:18
  movement. I appreciate.
• 1:29:20
  That like. Really.
• 1:29:21
  Really. That shit is hard.
• 1:29:22
  It's hard. I try to do that shit and it
• 1:29:25
  never goes out. No, I know.
• 1:29:26
  I noticed when I was when you sent me the e-mail earlier and I
• 1:29:29
  was going through the photos, the one thing I noticed through
• 1:29:32
  all of them was you're capturing movement but not in the usual
• 1:29:37
  way like. Well, I'll explain more as we go
• 1:29:39
  through it what I'm thinking. But another thing too is the way
• 1:29:42
  you frame everything. Because I keep we're looking at
• 1:29:45
  it on through my e-mail over here.
• 1:29:46
  So every time I see a photo, I zoom in, I click the zoom
• 1:29:49
  button. Yeah, it takes up his whole
• 1:29:50
  screen. And it and it doesn't zoom in
• 1:29:52
  properly. I'll hit zoom one time and it
• 1:29:54
  crops it differently and I'm like, no, it doesn't work.
• 1:29:57
  You have to see the whole thing as he wants you to see it.
• 1:30:00
  You know what I mean? Like the the whole, you don't
• 1:30:04
  want to crop it. Yeah, because then.
• 1:30:05
  But I feel like sometimes if you, let's say you captured a
• 1:30:07
  photo and you just wanted and within that photo you see it
• 1:30:10
  look better, you wouldn't like crop it just to show that part.
• 1:30:14
  Definitely, Yeah, 100. Percent I I totally do that all
• 1:30:16
  the time. People that don't like shame you
• 1:30:19
  for doing that. Yeah, that's what I.
• 1:30:20
  Yeah, I get it. I get it, 'cause you know,
• 1:30:22
  you're not good at framing what you want, but like just we have
• 1:30:26
  the ability to show what we want.
• 1:30:28
  To show we can crop now we don't have to pull out that like
• 1:30:30
  little like scissor thing. And and ultimately, it's for me,
• 1:30:34
  yeah. It's for me and for us all.
• 1:30:37
  The pictures I take, the pictures I edit, everything is
• 1:30:40
  for me. If people like it, that's
• 1:30:42
  wonderful. Yeah, ultimately.
• 1:30:43
  I love all these photos, dude. Did you get Were you schooled in
• 1:30:47
  this at all or you just? No, just do it.
• 1:30:50
  Fuck, did you take a photo class in high school?
• 1:30:52
  At least. Did you take?
• 1:30:53
  I took Intro to Photo. Senior year.
• 1:30:56
  Me too. I did.
• 1:30:56
  That, yeah, that's what I feel like We.
• 1:30:57
  Needed a credit. Yeah, so we all.
• 1:31:00
  Did we did the pinhole camera thing?
• 1:31:02
  We did photo developing. In the darkroom thing with that
• 1:31:06
  like where you have to what the fuck was that you had to like
• 1:31:09
  line it up I. Remember the darkroom?
• 1:31:11
  Yeah, and it was that was also a camera, that thing.
• 1:31:14
  I think I I Why can't I? Remember, it's like a old school
• 1:31:17
  thing. I don't know, but I yet again I
• 1:31:20
  used it to like I used the camera to go take pictures of
• 1:31:23
  like my my car at the time and he he was like why this is not
• 1:31:28
  the assignment I'm like. Yes, it is the assignment.
• 1:31:31
  Sorry, how'd that get there? Do you see this thing it?
• 1:31:34
  Was not a good car. All right.
• 1:31:35
  So the next photo is PJ, right? From Bostown, yeah.
• 1:31:42
  That car looks. The blue darks in the sea.
• 1:31:44
  We've touched on a little bit of this front brake lock.
• 1:31:47
  Yeah, same thing. Yo, you got a again?
• 1:31:50
  4 wheel. 4 Wheel This is at final about Special Stage E
• 1:31:55
  2022. Again, the movement, the smoke.
• 1:31:59
  I'm not showing the. Cars blue, so I already love it.
• 1:32:03
  You don't like my you don't ever say that shit about my car?
• 1:32:05
  Dark blue? That's not right.
• 1:32:06
  The other thing too that's off putting is like the.
• 1:32:09
  It's almost a side profile. Shot it is a my favorite photos
• 1:32:13
  are side profile shots. OK dude.
• 1:32:15
  Perfect. Show the whole length of the
• 1:32:17
  car. But The thing is like if you
• 1:32:18
  compare this photo you took to that photo you took of my car.
• 1:32:21
  It's the tilt. You could?
• 1:32:23
  Well, yeah, that too. I didn't even think about.
• 1:32:25
  That God damn if a if a photo's tilted and it's got like, yeah
• 1:32:28
  that. You can just add.
• 1:32:29
  And I'm like, oh. Yeah, you know it's.
• 1:32:32
  A comet. Really does help because what I
• 1:32:34
  was thinking when I was looking at this photo was I can barely
• 1:32:36
  tell it's drifting. That's a good point.
• 1:32:38
  But this photo, it looks like it's it might be because it's
• 1:32:41
  me, I don't know. Maybe I'm super zoomed in on
• 1:32:43
  that photo. Like I'm pretty sure that's
• 1:32:46
  pretty minimally cropped OK And obviously the way Thompson is, I
• 1:32:51
  think where I was shooting was in a much lower position.
• 1:32:54
  Yeah, so I'm like, I'm almost looking up at the car.
• 1:32:57
  Maybe at this angle, turn one of.
• 1:32:58
  That, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. That long?
• 1:33:00
  Straight. Yeah, that's the stern.
• 1:33:02
  Fuck, I'm so sad I didn't get to drive there.
• 1:33:04
  Should have. Let's drive there next year.
• 1:33:06
  I'll drive, I'll drive there. Yeah, that's 3 1/2 hours.
• 1:33:09
  That's like going to US. Airlocks, city homies.
• 1:33:11
  I feel like we have, like, I have so many other friends who
• 1:33:14
  are like driving over there and they're like, dude, you're
• 1:33:16
  never, how come yo you, you come into what was the?
• 1:33:19
  Last one they just had. The one Tom drove?
• 1:33:22
  Yeah, Josh was there too. What was?
• 1:33:24
  It called Nutcracker or something, OK.
• 1:33:27
  I have to cop on that PJ on this car because the body panels are
• 1:33:30
  all lined. Up, dude.
• 1:33:31
  It looks perfect, doesn't it? It looks.
• 1:33:33
  Good. Like the look at the arrow the.
• 1:33:35
  Front The front bumper. Particularly the front and the
• 1:33:38
  distance from the ground and the kind of light it.
• 1:33:41
  Reminds me of the photo of my car.
• 1:33:42
  Yeah, to be honest, it's a similar flavor for sure.
• 1:33:45
  Yeah, like the BN Sports. Like that is BN.
• 1:33:47
  It looks like it. The roof wing in the in the in
• 1:33:51
  the wing like really complement. Each other.
• 1:33:52
  Literally, Yeah. I mean, this is what I if I had
• 1:33:55
  an FC, this is what it would look like.
• 1:33:56
  I don't think that thing in that way.
• 1:33:58
  It's not. I don't know.
• 1:33:59
  It looks like it because it's got that bottom line.
• 1:34:02
  To it to. Yeah, it might be.
• 1:34:04
  Has all the trim on the door and the bumper and everything.
• 1:34:06
  Yeah, everything. Everything matches.
• 1:34:08
  So many FCS, you know. Yeah, that's from.
• 1:34:10
  FC Yeah. All right.
• 1:34:12
  Let's go ahead. And that is cool and good.
• 1:34:13
  Yeah, that is cool and good. All right.
• 1:34:16
  The next one's different for me, 'cause I don't know shit about
• 1:34:18
  these cars. This is what AGS 3. 103 hundred,
• 1:34:20
  yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 1:34:21
  This is my buddy Paul's. So they had my friends group
• 1:34:25
  like one of my friends who's part of cool and good.
• 1:34:28
  He drove final bout 5. This was last year leave so I
• 1:34:33
  was you know first time kind of I actually like had really close
• 1:34:37
  friends in final bout. So I was like riding in the car
• 1:34:40
  with them. So I'm in the car for this
• 1:34:41
  picture, obviously, OK. I'm in an IS300 so I'm in the
• 1:34:44
  back seat so I'm able to shoot, you know out each side window
• 1:34:48
  because nobody's in my way. So now I I think I'm you're in
• 1:34:51
  the back. I'm in the back.
• 1:34:52
  Seat like this? I'm in the back.
• 1:34:53
  Yes, exactly. With a helmet on.
• 1:34:55
  Oh my God, the motion sickness. I would die.
• 1:34:58
  Dude, you captured the movement in this photo, 'cause if you
• 1:35:02
  look at the ground in front of the car like, you still see
• 1:35:05
  that. Like this is really.
• 1:35:06
  But you got to understand now he's in a moving object too.
• 1:35:10
  I know it's. Capturing another moving object.
• 1:35:13
  It's really good. 'Cause it is, it does almost
• 1:35:16
  look like the car is kind of parked a little bit almost, but
• 1:35:18
  then you have. Your the smoke trail.
• 1:35:20
  Yeah, you have your smoke trail. You can see the rumble strip is
• 1:35:22
  kind of blurred out, maybe a little bit.
• 1:35:24
  I can't tell from here, but maybe you can see the tires.
• 1:35:27
  You can't see the tread of the tires.
• 1:35:29
  You know, it's it's blurred. That J blood hood or or grill or
• 1:35:33
  whatever that is on the GS God. That looks good.
• 1:35:37
  That's a. That's an AT car.
• 1:35:39
  Yeah, I only have one complaint about the car.
• 1:35:41
  Raise the rear up a little bit. No, not at that.
• 1:35:44
  I don't want to see. That car, I don't see that side
• 1:35:46
  skirt on the ground, but it's literally like this car was so
• 1:35:50
  low one inch. Away from being so low for that
• 1:35:52
  event. Yeah, it looks like it was.
• 1:35:54
  And he's got 2 twelves and a trunk.
• 1:35:57
  Yeah, dude. That cool car though?
• 1:35:59
  Cool and good. That thing is fucking dragging
• 1:36:01
  that screw, I think. The front bumper is like cutting
• 1:36:03
  apart. Yeah, which I I kind of like,
• 1:36:05
  'cause it means this is a drift car.
• 1:36:08
  So it's crazy how the front really looks like a Mercedes.
• 1:36:12
  Oh yeah, that's what that grill does.
• 1:36:13
  Oh yeah. Interesting.
• 1:36:16
  Really good photo. Again, cool and good.
• 1:36:18
  The smoke trail, it's just perfect.
• 1:36:20
  And then the movement down here. I feel like I'm in art class
• 1:36:23
  right now, but like, it's. OK, it's so.
• 1:36:25
  Easy to feel that way when the photos are like this because it
• 1:36:28
  it captures so much. Another thing that that this
• 1:36:32
  photo tells me too and that also Eric just described is that
• 1:36:36
  media people really be the go too because they are risking
• 1:36:40
  their lives sometimes for y'all. Especially on like depends on
• 1:36:43
  the track. Like like US Air.
• 1:36:45
  Like when a Like when a media person is at A at A at like a
• 1:36:49
  clip. Or like at a runoff where a car
• 1:36:51
  could come off. Yeah.
• 1:36:53
  I mean, they're aware, they're fully been briefed of what to do
• 1:36:56
  and like, but still that's like a danger that not the everyday
• 1:36:59
  person takes. Remember Connor last?
• 1:37:01
  Wasn't he? Like?
• 1:37:02
  Yeah, I realized all of a sudden.
• 1:37:03
  I was going to talk about. I was going to talk about this
• 1:37:05
  too, because yes, the entry to Advanced and the balcony are
• 1:37:09
  back-to-back and you're in that little no man's land.
• 1:37:12
  You're having action happening both sides of you.
• 1:37:15
  You really do need a spotter. Or just be vigilant for your
• 1:37:19
  other photographers around you. You know.
• 1:37:21
  If you see something, grab them. See something, Say something
• 1:37:23
  exactly. What?
• 1:37:25
  What? Car like it's not always in the
• 1:37:27
  front forefront of my mind to think that way, 'cause I'm
• 1:37:30
  trying to take pictures, but still, like, you know, you can
• 1:37:33
  keep one eye open when you're shooting or just.
• 1:37:35
  Kind of the the most dangerous part of the track, not the
• 1:37:38
  drivers like you guys are, pretty much.
• 1:37:41
  Yeah, that sucks. All right.
• 1:37:43
  Moving. On.
• 1:37:45
  You must really like doing it. Oh damn.
• 1:37:49
  All right, so. I you know, this photo has two
• 1:37:51
  very pivotal, well, three very pivotal cars in my opinion.
• 1:37:54
  Let's hear, let's hear your description of.
• 1:37:56
  This this is a good example of new wave FD and old wave FD.
• 1:38:01
  I mean what more do I have to say is true.
• 1:38:03
  You know, a car that may or may not have inspired the driver
• 1:38:06
  Ilia of to make his car the way it looks and then you have the
• 1:38:10
  other demo car ahead of you, just, I mean driving, but it's
• 1:38:13
  it's in the frame. Yeah, this is a very taxi photo,
• 1:38:17
  right? Here dude, that white car, the
• 1:38:20
  his name's Ilya. Yeah dude, that car has been
• 1:38:23
  like my favorite looking FD for so long it it is pretty cool.
• 1:38:27
  The wing is perfect. That's the the height is right
• 1:38:31
  at the roof line, the stands are nice and narrow, and it's a
• 1:38:34
  little wider than the car. Ilya, I don't like that wing
• 1:38:37
  but. And he's got a second one.
• 1:38:39
  He got a wing for the wing. Yeah, I see that.
• 1:38:42
  That's perfect drunk. Wing talk about A streetcar.
• 1:38:44
  That car he he literally just drives that shit on the street
• 1:38:47
  every single day. Like that's his.
• 1:38:49
  That was his car. Always.
• 1:38:51
  Yeah. Fucking wild.
• 1:38:52
  Call back to JDM Chicago. Like the yellow FC, he would
• 1:38:56
  drive that thing everywhere too. But yeah, as far as this photo
• 1:39:00
  goes, I mean, obviously you captured the movement.
• 1:39:03
  God damn. It dude.
• 1:39:04
  I love. I love that about his photos.
• 1:39:06
  I I'm like, I I look at a photo immediately and like sometimes
• 1:39:10
  it'll trigger a memory. I look at that second FC or FD
• 1:39:14
  and you know what I remember? I remember California and me
• 1:39:18
  looking up at that thing and going, oh.
• 1:39:20
  Yeah, yeah. Is this that car like And it's
• 1:39:23
  in front of my face like, oh. Yeah, like like, that's the one.
• 1:39:27
  Yeah, both of those cars, both of those cars were there, I
• 1:39:30
  think. He is him.
• 1:39:31
  Yeah, both of those cars were there.
• 1:39:32
  That's crazy. Oh, really?
• 1:39:33
  And then like, and that's a different era.
• 1:39:35
  You know it. But it took me there.
• 1:39:36
  So you got a completely blurred out car and then he's just the
• 1:39:39
  other one's completely in focus. So it's like.
• 1:39:42
  To some they might be like you know but.
• 1:39:44
  Yeah, I could. I could understand that.
• 1:39:45
  But The thing is, like, I don't know, It's kind of cool, 'cause
• 1:39:50
  like you said, I mean, I'm sure that's how you're viewing the
• 1:39:52
  photo, like new, new school versus old school.
• 1:39:55
  Definitely, you know. So you have the new school
• 1:39:58
  quote, UN quote in in focus and this is kind of blurred out
• 1:40:01
  behind it. 'Cause it's like kind of sick.
• 1:40:04
  It's almost a car, Almost a car that almost needs no
• 1:40:06
  introduction. Yeah, like if you if you are and
• 1:40:10
  have been a long standing fan of drifting, like you know about
• 1:40:12
  the Apex FD. Yeah, that's cool, man.
• 1:40:16
  And good. And good.
• 1:40:19
  Oh, we got a tandem. Photo Shut up Mark.
• 1:40:21
  Shout out to Dirty Dawn. Hey, that's AIS 300.
• 1:40:25
  I feel like. I've seen this IS 3. 100 He
• 1:40:27
  competed at Super DI think he might have driven.
• 1:40:29
  Against. Oh, I did.
• 1:40:30
  I did. Didn't you lose against him?
• 1:40:32
  That guy was good. You know, that was lost, I
• 1:40:34
  think. Carl, that was an NA2J.
• 1:40:37
  But he smoked my. Ass when he versed.
• 1:40:39
  Frankie. He's 1J in this photo, but did
• 1:40:41
  he beat? Me.
• 1:40:42
  I don't know. Mike beat me.
• 1:40:44
  Oh no, you beat him. Fuck.
• 1:40:47
  Got him. So anyway, tell me some stuff
• 1:40:53
  about this photo. It's just the awesome Chrome
• 1:40:55
  fucking wheel. Jesus.
• 1:40:58
  Those wheels are fucking huge. What the 14 the.
• 1:41:02
  Eye goes right here, So big. They're garsons.
• 1:41:07
  I believe they're cars and same with the IS those are I.
• 1:41:09
  Think those were the same wheels Mark had on an S, his SC300 as
• 1:41:13
  well. He was one of the red S33
• 1:41:14
  hundreds in the photo that I showed you previously.
• 1:41:18
  Mark's also looking at me in that photo.
• 1:41:20
  If you can, you can't. Obviously no one on the live
• 1:41:22
  stream can see it, but like he's his head is out there or you
• 1:41:25
  know, out the window. I hate to call this out, but do
• 1:41:27
  I see a a fuck up in this photo or is there two intercoolers on
• 1:41:30
  this car? No, it's a.
• 1:41:32
  It's a. It's divoted so that you could
• 1:41:34
  put that bash. Bar.
• 1:41:35
  No way. So you could have a full size
• 1:41:36
  intercooler. Really.
• 1:41:38
  Fuck up. Yeah, that's a that's a CX
• 1:41:39
  racing intercooler, Frankie. That's crazy.
• 1:41:42
  Yeah, technology. I was looking at that.
• 1:41:44
  I was like, damn, did the did the editing like, fuck this up
• 1:41:47
  or the shutter speed? No, it's like it's shaped like
• 1:41:50
  that. What the fuck?
• 1:41:52
  It's the one I'm gonna run. That's so weird.
• 1:41:55
  Yes Sir. Bob run a bash bar PSA.
• 1:41:57
  I always have bash bar. I don't want to die.
• 1:42:00
  Cool photo though. Just cool, because you know,
• 1:42:04
  those are those are the homies. I know where you're standing.
• 1:42:07
  That's also I'm like. The helmet.
• 1:42:10
  Yeah, he's staring right at me. That's.
• 1:42:11
  Cool. Like that's turn one for Super D
• 1:42:14
  layout. Yes, that's the big entry in.
• 1:42:16
  Yep. Yep.
• 1:42:17
  Exactly. That's exactly where I'm going
• 1:42:19
  to go off. I love that turn.
• 1:42:21
  I know. That's all I'm.
• 1:42:22
  Like whenever. It's like the two day final bout
• 1:42:25
  event. That's always my favorite place
• 1:42:26
  to go. You know, whenever in the day
• 1:42:28
  this. Is before grid right?
• 1:42:30
  Or no, totally different? This is the long straight and
• 1:42:33
  that super D layout like the initial entry, the big entry.
• 1:42:36
  I'm thinking like the one further down, right?
• 1:42:40
  You go around it, you start going up.
• 1:42:42
  The Hill. Yep, I know you're talking.
• 1:42:42
  About that is one of my favorite corners.
• 1:42:44
  That's a good corner to stay in too, for if if you have media.
• 1:42:46
  Especially on the second day when no one gives a fuck
• 1:42:48
  anymore. And then they're hot lapping.
• 1:42:50
  It. I just remember driving that
• 1:42:52
  like and that's where me and Tom would just be stacked up coming
• 1:42:55
  up towards grid and then you just shut it down.
• 1:42:58
  Or if they're doing hot lapping, you'd literally just come around
• 1:43:01
  that corner like door to door, straighten out and just launch
• 1:43:04
  over that fucking hill. God.
• 1:43:06
  Damn, that's making me fucking horny.
• 1:43:08
  Dude, I. Fucking want to.
• 1:43:08
  Drive so badly, that section is wild.
• 1:43:11
  Yeah. All right, moving on.
• 1:43:14
  I hit zoom. Whoops.
• 1:43:17
  Oh, whoa whoa. Isn't this the team that you
• 1:43:19
  like? Real dream?
• 1:43:20
  Oh no, no, no. I thought it was Garage
• 1:43:22
  Abstract. Not that I didn't.
• 1:43:23
  I didn't even realize. This.
• 1:43:24
  Wait, that's at Summit? Yeah, that was this.
• 1:43:27
  This real? Dream this all the.
• 1:43:28
  Boys at Real Dream special stage event.
• 1:43:30
  This was like the event to get into final bout.
• 1:43:32
  You saw this? You were?
• 1:43:33
  Yeah, weren't you? There.
• 1:43:34
  Oh man, was I there? Yeah, I was having a time of my
• 1:43:37
  life there. Dude.
• 1:43:39
  At the standing on top of the koya.
• 1:43:40
  I'm literally probably behind Eric Ish to the.
• 1:43:44
  Right your head right there. Yep, when I was a redhead kind.
• 1:43:48
  Of a cool photo. Like you said, movement, you
• 1:43:50
  know everyone is in drift. Yeah, it's cool that they're
• 1:43:54
  they're the. They're all in different play,
• 1:43:56
  exactly. Obviously they're all in
• 1:43:58
  different places, but everyone's encountering, you know, a
• 1:44:01
  different section of drift that, once again, everyone else will
• 1:44:03
  encounter. What do they call it, the change
• 1:44:05
  in elevation? That's that's the cool part of
• 1:44:07
  this. For sure, yeah.
• 1:44:09
  Yeah, if that guy's head wasn't there, I'd like a lot more.
• 1:44:12
  That might be a woman. Dude, you don't know that.
• 1:44:15
  Could be trans. Here's what Here's what I'm
• 1:44:16
  thinking. Right here is from back to
• 1:44:19
  front, you have Sebastian, David, Bob, Nico and Juan.
• 1:44:25
  Juan. Yeah, sorry.
• 1:44:27
  I was looking at the car and I was like, that fucking rear is
• 1:44:30
  in there. Because if you don't know, he's
• 1:44:32
  got a crazy sick blog. Go check that out.
• 1:44:35
  Relax amigo, on Instagram to go check out the build on that
• 1:44:37
  thing, it was insane. But like, I just know the back
• 1:44:40
  story of all of these guys to get here and the amount of work
• 1:44:43
  that it took for them to get here, that when I see this
• 1:44:44
  photo, it makes me happy. Like Nico, I think Nico, this is
• 1:44:49
  his maybe second or third time driving his fucking car.
• 1:44:52
  And then I just mentioned Juan's thing and then David Bob is
• 1:44:55
  David Bob. That car was newly boosted and
• 1:44:57
  stuff. Yeah, I see the intercooler.
• 1:44:58
  On Yeah, it was newly boosted. I didn't even know he was like,
• 1:45:00
  yeah, it's misfiring. I turboed it.
• 1:45:02
  I'm like, what? And then you have Sebastian.
• 1:45:04
  Every time I see Sebastian, it's a delight, just 'cause, you
• 1:45:06
  know, Sebastian's all over the place doing Sebastian stuff.
• 1:45:09
  So like, when I see this, that's what I think of again.
• 1:45:12
  I like, associate photos with memories, even if it isn't right
• 1:45:15
  here. So then, like, I think of that
• 1:45:17
  and I'm like, good job boys. Yeah, man.
• 1:45:22
  That could be us, Frankie. One day next.
• 1:45:23
  Photo motherfucker shout out real dreams.
• 1:45:26
  Look at this. Photo Shit.
• 1:45:29
  Oh shit. I don't think I posted this.
• 1:45:31
  Whole damn, that's close. This is a shot.
• 1:45:32
  Of a nice. Photo.
• 1:45:33
  Easy bro. These two always.
• 1:45:36
  Save some crumbs. Wonderful drivers, always a
• 1:45:39
  blast to take pictures of. So what happened here is they
• 1:45:41
  just parked up for a minute. On a transition, definitely.
• 1:45:45
  That's That's one of the things with drifting though Like this
• 1:45:48
  photo. I I still sense the movement
• 1:45:51
  just cause it's Eric that took the photo.
• 1:45:53
  But it's really hard. There's no smoke really.
• 1:45:56
  Cars are in focus. Like they could be parked there,
• 1:46:02
  but because you took the photo, I could just look at the fucking
• 1:46:05
  hay in the. Back.
• 1:46:06
  Yeah, yeah, the hay bales. Dude, just.
• 1:46:10
  The random hay bales in the back.
• 1:46:11
  That just gives you like the. You know where it is now because
• 1:46:14
  just 'cause you see that in the background.
• 1:46:15
  In the middle of a field? Yeah, that's Lee from Proceed,
• 1:46:19
  right. Shout out Lee for having us at
• 1:46:21
  your house. Man, I had a great time.
• 1:46:24
  Yeah. That was dude, that was awesome.
• 1:46:26
  See again, like I the memories that I get are from the photos
• 1:46:30
  like. I will say phones ruin photos
• 1:46:34
  like this. I'm just looking at the
• 1:46:35
  passenger. And oh, you see it.
• 1:46:36
  Oh, OK, look at that even. It's just annoying.
• 1:46:39
  It doesn't ruin the photo. The photo's still good, but it's
• 1:46:42
  just like I my eyes go there and I'm like, yeah.
• 1:46:45
  Well, that's where people like, they go in and crazy Photoshop
• 1:46:49
  mode and have it. Oh yeah, Like that person is.
• 1:46:51
  How do you feel about that? Like, yeah.
• 1:46:52
  Is that a? Move that camera like is that I
• 1:46:55
  don't is. That OK.
• 1:46:55
  I mean, I would do it if I if I wanted to.
• 1:46:59
  If I if I felt like it took away from it, I would I would modify
• 1:47:02
  it, OK. I mean it's not like I'm putting
• 1:47:04
  smoke in or you know doing stuff like that.
• 1:47:06
  It's just small tweaks that make me like the image a little bit
• 1:47:09
  can. You Photoshop my car lower
• 1:47:10
  please. Yeah.
• 1:47:12
  That would be a that. Would be a good example of
• 1:47:14
  something you probably. Shouldn't do nice photo though,
• 1:47:16
  boys. Don't fake the funk.
• 1:47:17
  Next photo. God damn.
• 1:47:19
  Why? Why?
• 1:47:20
  Why? Because of Josh's car.
• 1:47:23
  Why? Oh dude, wait, I love Josh, But
• 1:47:28
  is that what's his name? B.
• 1:47:30
  Strong B. Strong it is.
• 1:47:31
  Favorite fucking car there. Down to the wheel, down to how
• 1:47:34
  loud it was. That's your favorite car there.
• 1:47:35
  You're going to have to join Front St.
• 1:47:38
  Why? Because no.
• 1:47:40
  Look how hard that shit looks. So here's from my opinion.
• 1:47:46
  This photo I like because I see two cars that have nothing to do
• 1:47:52
  with each other and they're on the same.
• 1:47:53
  Track different flavors, Different flavors.
• 1:47:55
  That that's the reason. Now if that if B Strong's car
• 1:47:58
  wasn't there and it was a slam car that looked like that, I
• 1:48:01
  would fucking, I would print this out like on a fucking wall.
• 1:48:03
  Like. Trace this car behind.
• 1:48:04
  Me look at the. Rear of B Strong's car Look at
• 1:48:08
  the Look at the rear B Strong's. Car, you're going to say exactly
• 1:48:10
  what I hate about it. Let's go.
• 1:48:12
  There it is. Say what you love about it.
• 1:48:14
  The tire to rim to Fender and the wall and the cannered and
• 1:48:20
  all that shit. Just that little square section
• 1:48:23
  right there. Oh yeah.
• 1:48:25
  What do you like about that? Square.
• 1:48:26
  It looks fucking like a race car.
• 1:48:29
  It looks like it's gripped up. The suspension is fully loaded.
• 1:48:32
  That's what I don't like. He's he's ready to flick it back
• 1:48:36
  around. Like, I know the thought process
• 1:48:38
  in my head from right there. I feel like I know I would be
• 1:48:40
  like, OK, get ready for this to they're.
• 1:48:43
  Just trying to extend this corner out right now so he's
• 1:48:46
  like getting getting straight. He's loading that bitch up so he
• 1:48:49
  could. Poop.
• 1:48:50
  You know. Transition.
• 1:48:51
  Really cool photo because of the differences in the cars.
• 1:48:55
  Yeah, but yeah, like you said, if fuck this face's car.
• 1:48:58
  Was only my traces S14? You know another thing that
• 1:49:01
  ruins photos? These fucking banners and
• 1:49:03
  everything they got to put out. Wait, what banners?
• 1:49:05
  The final ballot thing and everything in the back.
• 1:49:07
  What? I love that people work hard to
• 1:49:10
  make those kinds of things. Yeah, it ruins a photo, but.
• 1:49:14
  And. It and it and it like it almost
• 1:49:16
  like brands it right then and there.
• 1:49:17
  You might like it more because it makes it feel more like it's
• 1:49:20
  a race track type situation. Well, you you don't like it
• 1:49:23
  because you want it to make it look like you're on a fucking
• 1:49:25
  public Rd. you'd fucking. If this was on a public Rd.,
• 1:49:28
  it'd be way sicker. Yeah, see what but.
• 1:49:31
  But you like you brought up that you like that that car looks
• 1:49:33
  like a race car. Right.
• 1:49:35
  It just looks like it's ready to drive really fucking hard, which
• 1:49:38
  which it did. It looked sick, It just.
• 1:49:41
  He's like the hardest driver there is you.
• 1:49:42
  Even even the cars, I think that those were Gramlite 57 Pros,
• 1:49:47
  which are one of my favorite fucking wheels.
• 1:49:48
  And on that cartoon, like, it just looked everything just like
• 1:49:52
  tied together. It's extra loud physically and
• 1:49:55
  like for your ears and eyes, it's loud is what I mean.
• 1:49:59
  It's got a little stripe, you know.
• 1:50:00
  You know what other car has a little stripe on the bottom of
• 1:50:02
  it. My car 2002 Lexus IS300.
• 1:50:06
  So another cool thing about this photo is the ugly banners in the
• 1:50:09
  back. The final battle flags.
• 1:50:10
  They match that guy's shirt in the back on the right of the
• 1:50:12
  pink. Oh, look at that.
• 1:50:14
  They do. That's cool.
• 1:50:16
  And if you notice, the one on the left matches.
• 1:50:18
  The guy's media fest. Yeah, so those are other two
• 1:50:22
  cool things. Cosmo and Wanda is.
• 1:50:23
  Like, yeah, wow. That's.
• 1:50:25
  Cosmo and Wanda. Hiding.
• 1:50:27
  Do you notice that shit when you do this?
• 1:50:29
  Just no. That's happenstance.
• 1:50:30
  That's luck. So crazy.
• 1:50:33
  That's weird. Imagine the luck people had
• 1:50:35
  shooting film all the time. For Motorsports, you know you
• 1:50:39
  you have to be so calculated with what you're choosing to set
• 1:50:43
  your camera at to get those photos.
• 1:50:45
  And then you you can't just do like a, you know, fucking semi
• 1:50:48
  auto, yeah. That wasn't really a thing until
• 1:50:51
  like. Full Auto mode.
• 1:50:52
  Until like the 90s, maybe, when cameras actually, you know, had
• 1:50:55
  a lot more technology in them. No, no, no.
• 1:50:57
  Even like film. Like SLRS.
• 1:50:59
  You're saying somebody who's going like click, click.
• 1:51:02
  I'm no, I'm just saying like people who like, like nowadays,
• 1:51:04
  they'll just see this moment happening and they'll just hold
• 1:51:06
  the trigger down. They'll get like a million
• 1:51:07
  photos and they just go to post and they just pick the one
• 1:51:10
  that's better. It doesn't always.
• 1:51:12
  That's that's me. You're describing me.
• 1:51:14
  Like you're doing on a film. You can't just do that.
• 1:51:17
  No, Yeah, you have to time it right.
• 1:51:18
  One, you're costing yourself money, that's what.
• 1:51:21
  I'm saying. Shooting a whole roll of film in
• 1:51:23
  10 seconds? Yeah.
• 1:51:25
  Yeah, that's insane. Yeah, it's crazy.
• 1:51:26
  It's crazy to think that that, but you know, again, that's all
• 1:51:29
  they had and they liked. It That car's not even that
• 1:51:33
  high, you. The fact that you think that car
• 1:51:35
  is not high is what makes me really, really worried.
• 1:51:39
  Oh shit, that's the tallest car I've ever seen in my.
• 1:51:42
  Life Gander. It's like an inch above the tire
• 1:51:45
  in the front, That's. 4 inches above the tire in the front, 4
• 1:51:51
  inches with a stretch. Maybe like 2?
• 1:51:52
  Yes, I'll meet you in the middle.
• 1:51:54
  Two, look at the front bumper, please.
• 1:51:56
  My car is super high in the front when it squats.
• 1:51:59
  I can see the lower control arm from the front of the car.
• 1:52:02
  You dude. When my car is squatted, my
• 1:52:04
  front bumper is really high up. You just said something.
• 1:52:06
  I hate squat. You got to let the suspension
• 1:52:09
  work. Nope.
• 1:52:10
  You got to let the suspension work.
• 1:52:12
  Come on, Carl, I want my car to look.
• 1:52:14
  I want my car to look like it's sitting still while drifting.
• 1:52:17
  Frankie, my car is going to smoke yours with 100 horsepower.
• 1:52:20
  If you keep thinking like that, man, it will.
• 1:52:21
  But then we'll see a photo of this, like with our cars, and
• 1:52:24
  one's going to look good and one's going to look like, what
• 1:52:26
  the fuck? Dude, you're bugging, man.
• 1:52:29
  But some people will like that. Some people will smoke.
• 1:52:32
  That you, bro? I knew.
• 1:52:32
  You were going? To say that shit, but cool
• 1:52:38
  photo, man. It really, it really captures
• 1:52:40
  what drifting is right now. Sick to my stomach people.
• 1:52:45
  Can make what they want to make right.
• 1:52:47
  And they're both great examples of what.
• 1:52:50
  What routes you can go? Yeah, Yeah, I like, I do like
• 1:52:53
  what you mentioned earlier that they're two different flavors.
• 1:52:57
  And I just know how much, how much Josh has in that car like
• 1:53:01
  in terms of time and and just personal investment and the fact
• 1:53:06
  that it's that close to that other car which which does that
• 1:53:09
  kind of driving. Like, I feel like it's built for
• 1:53:11
  that kind of driving. But, but he B Strong's car right
• 1:53:15
  here in this moment is like pretty mint condition, it looks
• 1:53:18
  like. He was hopping, tandeming with
• 1:53:20
  everybody too. Yeah, you know.
• 1:53:22
  But like it's it's a great chance to see like like we said,
• 1:53:25
  I mean you got that style, taller cars, squat, you know?
• 1:53:30
  It's a performance vehicle. Yeah, whack.
• 1:53:32
  And then you got the cool, what a drift.
• 1:53:35
  Car supposed to be on the left. All right.
• 1:53:37
  Moving on. There's a blend in there.
• 1:53:38
  There is a blend in there. I'll just have, you know, Yeah,
• 1:53:41
  but. These are the two I don't even
• 1:53:44
  want to say Josh's car is at the extreme of what I'm trying to
• 1:53:47
  get at, 'cause I don't think it is.
• 1:53:49
  I think Josh's car is kind of like where my car was, where it
• 1:53:51
  was in a middle. Yeah, Happy medium, Yeah, but
• 1:53:54
  not. Even some people would say
• 1:53:55
  that's not a happy medium. Like that car is too low.
• 1:53:57
  It's not 19 on Serbs like it was.
• 1:54:00
  Yeah, Battle Machine, but his car is at the extreme, I would
• 1:54:03
  say. I would say be strong car is at
• 1:54:05
  the extreme of what like of of that end of the spectrum like
• 1:54:10
  it's a really purpose built drift car.
• 1:54:13
  It's not meant to be low. Josh's car is like primarily
• 1:54:17
  more focused on looks and and looking a certain.
• 1:54:21
  Type of show and go, but they're both show and go.
• 1:54:23
  I was going to say Josh is probably in there in with a
• 1:54:27
  completely different mindset of what's going to happen on the
• 1:54:30
  next corner versus what not. You know, aside from the fact
• 1:54:33
  that one's a lead and one's a chase, but like the way Josh's
• 1:54:36
  car is set up versus sorry, B Strong's car is set up like
• 1:54:41
  they're about to do 2 completely different things.
• 1:54:44
  Like Josh might pop his shit in a first, like he said.
• 1:54:47
  Yeah, literally. He might.
• 1:54:48
  And then like B Strong's probably in like. 5th.
• 1:54:51
  Yeah, because he's got like a five one or something.
• 1:54:53
  I don't. Know, I know Josh loves to drive
• 1:54:55
  with people like this, though, so I I I'm sure he's stoked.
• 1:54:58
  In his photo What? Dude, I.
• 1:54:59
  Have you sent him this photo or anything?
• 1:55:01
  Oh my God dude, you got to send this photo to them.
• 1:55:04
  They probably would love this. Both of them would love it.
• 1:55:07
  I can't believe the picture I took on my fucking phone, where
• 1:55:09
  my camera was actually probably smudgy, was like Josh's profile
• 1:55:13
  picture. Let's jump to the next one.
• 1:55:15
  Oh, we got the crew. The crew cool and good.
• 1:55:19
  Cool and good. I.
• 1:55:19
  Think this might just be pictures of my old car at this
• 1:55:21
  point? Yeah, thereafter.
• 1:55:23
  Yeah, that's. Fine.
• 1:55:24
  The the Model 6 is on there though, yeah.
• 1:55:27
  Yeah, 17 by 8, yeah. So.
• 1:55:31
  Did I miss? That's an 8.
• 1:55:33
  You had a, you had a NA and then you got rid of it.
• 1:55:36
  Yeah, and then I didn't have like a rear wheel drive car for
• 1:55:40
  a while. I just had a CRV and then first
• 1:55:43
  first Gen. CRV.
• 1:55:45
  What was that bitch's name? Bernice.
• 1:55:49
  Oh yeah, I forgot you guys had a you guys had.
• 1:55:51
  A. We had a certified pre owned
• 1:55:53
  one. For the Cali trip.
• 1:55:55
  It was brand new. I didn't enjoy it really that
• 1:55:58
  much, but the fact that Frankie didn't enjoy it made me enjoy
• 1:56:01
  it. Awesome.
• 1:56:04
  So yeah, I did. I had the CRV and then I was
• 1:56:06
  like, all right, well, you know, at this point in my life, I had
• 1:56:09
  a pretty good job and I was steadily making money and you
• 1:56:13
  know, could afford to to have a drift car again.
• 1:56:16
  And smart, smart. I don't this this was like 2018.
• 1:56:20
  I started looking, and some buddies that live out in Iowa
• 1:56:23
  shout out Alec and Luke. Far Side sent me a link to one
• 1:56:28
  that was for sale at a dealership near them.
• 1:56:31
  And I was like, looking it over, you know?
• 1:56:33
  Oh, that's cool. Let's go take a look at it and
• 1:56:36
  the rest is his or he. It almost matches the SC's color
• 1:56:39
  on the end. You fucking know it.
• 1:56:41
  Is it the same color? No.
• 1:56:43
  That's so weird. That's that 2 shades of red that
• 1:56:45
  Lexus offered. They offered the maroon and then
• 1:56:47
  the more like Aztec kind of red. Similar to Nissan.
• 1:56:51
  It's a really cool color, we'll say that.
• 1:56:53
  I like that there's pairs, but I'm I'm curious why or how.
• 1:56:59
  Just cause 17 by 8. I just sold Eric a pair of 17 by
• 1:57:03
  nines. If you follow me on Instagram, I
• 1:57:04
  was selling 5 seconds. Blame Eric.
• 1:57:06
  He took them but I wanted Eric to get them because I know he's
• 1:57:10
  might use them to drift and quite possibly use them to drift
• 1:57:14
  with me. So that's why 17 by 9 + 9 and
• 1:57:18
  that's an 8 a lot of and that has a pretty decent amount of
• 1:57:21
  camber and almost like a tiny tire.
• 1:57:23
  How are you going to 50s is my question.
• 1:57:27
  Cause a lot of guys run R33 wheels, yes on NC and those are
• 1:57:31
  similar spec to what you sold me, 17 by 9 plus. 30 offset on
• 1:57:36
  those, that's AVS model sixes. 30.
• 1:57:39
  Oh, Oh, yeah. They're they're a little bit
• 1:57:41
  more sunk than they appear in that photo.
• 1:57:44
  Like if you looked at the car profiled.
• 1:57:46
  Yeah. Thank you.
• 1:57:46
  And. They're both soft tops.
• 1:57:49
  Your current one and that one. Yeah, what if you drifted A
• 1:57:52
  hardtop one? Is that crazy?
• 1:57:53
  Is that bad? Would it be more the weight?
• 1:57:56
  It would be an actual removable. No, that one would come with,
• 1:57:59
  right. You're right.
• 1:58:00
  Yeah. Power Retractable.
• 1:58:01
  Hardtop. You're right.
• 1:58:02
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:58:02
  Wild. Just in grid.
• 1:58:05
  Hold on. Sorry, brother.
• 1:58:05
  I'm getting kind of hot. Yeah.
• 1:58:08
  Pretty cool. Those are all like the high trim
• 1:58:10
  level ones. I can't.
• 1:58:10
  I don't think you could. Put a bull bar in that though
• 1:58:12
  with. The they do make A roll bar for
• 1:58:15
  the power top. I I haven't exactly looked at
• 1:58:18
  all the options yet because they're they are specific for
• 1:58:20
  each one. Like you can only run that one
• 1:58:22
  with that top versus the other top.
• 1:58:24
  Malcolm, you got the next batch of photos.
• 1:58:26
  I think that there's more than. One with the Front Street cars.
• 1:58:29
  There's like a composited. In photo Yeah.
• 1:58:32
  Oh, it's this photo. I forgot you did make this.
• 1:58:36
  Photo I forgot you made this too.
• 1:58:39
  I liked it. I liked it on Instagram.
• 1:58:40
  I just, you know, this is one of those times where everyone can
• 1:58:44
  walk out on grid and everyone's parked up, you know, around at
• 1:58:47
  US Air, you know, all the cars and everyone can come out and
• 1:58:49
  walk. And this might have been right
• 1:58:51
  before, because obviously there's nobody in the pictures,
• 1:58:53
  but for whatever reason I was just like, oh, take a front
• 1:58:57
  profile of every car. So you had the idea when you?
• 1:58:59
  Were no, no, no. I didn't have the idea to do
• 1:59:01
  this. I just had the idea to take a
• 1:59:02
  picture of every single car, and this is one of those things
• 1:59:05
  where it's like, you're in, you're on the computer and
• 1:59:07
  you're like, well, what can I do with these?
• 1:59:09
  What are the? Odds that OK.
• 1:59:11
  It's pretty good. The the A pillar.
• 1:59:14
  Yeah. What are the odds that I?
• 1:59:18
  Don't they are all the same car? Yeah.
• 1:59:20
  But. Yeah.
• 1:59:22
  It's lined up like it's Josh's car to Jimmy's car.
• 1:59:26
  I had to do the two same cars on the end for it to make sense in
• 1:59:29
  my head, but you know, I wasn't sure with Jeff's S15 how it was
• 1:59:33
  gonna work. Tom's car worked fucking
• 1:59:35
  surprisingly well next to Josh's car.
• 1:59:39
  Yeah, that's 'cause those are actually the same.
• 1:59:41
  Car Yeah, that's the S. 15 is the problem.
• 1:59:43
  Yeah, yeah. How do?
• 1:59:44
  You line it up like. When you but the drifting, it
• 1:59:46
  the drift HQ lines up. That's crazy.
• 1:59:50
  Oh yeah, I didn't shout out to. Teams with all the same sticker
• 1:59:52
  placements. Oh.
• 1:59:54
  My God. Shout out Martino.
• 1:59:55
  You did a great job. Damn, that's crazy.
• 1:59:58
  It's a good example of, you know, a team that's all on the
• 2:00:00
  same page. They are.
• 2:00:02
  You can even see the faction on the right kind of lined.
• 2:00:05
  Up a different angle, but it's the same flavor.
• 2:00:07
  Yeah, mine. Fucking did a whole season
• 2:00:12
  asking for a livery. It's insane.
• 2:00:17
  You got him with that? One I actually found a sticker,
• 2:00:19
  by the way. What?
• 2:00:21
  I didn't know I had the rear stickers I had in the whole time
• 2:00:24
  I. Literally asked you for one.
• 2:00:26
  At. The Beginning.
• 2:00:28
  Of the year. I drove.
• 2:00:31
  I was like, yo, I'm going pretty far.
• 2:00:33
  Like can I get like maybe a bigger?
• 2:00:37
  Carl doesn't. Carl doesn't like asking me for
• 2:00:39
  things like that either, 'cause he he wants me to just give them
• 2:00:41
  to him and I want to do that too, so.
• 2:00:44
  I'm not going to ask cranking time, because then I'm just
• 2:00:46
  going to. I'm.
• 2:00:47
  I might not get something that isn't fully ready 'cause I'm
• 2:00:50
  the. More you talk about you want
• 2:00:51
  your car to look like be strong, the less chance we have of this
• 2:00:56
  happening. I think.
• 2:00:57
  It's not too late to run the beams, dude to To lighten it up,
• 2:01:01
  lighten up the front some more. No.
• 2:01:02
  Dude. No.
• 2:01:04
  Dude. I think the first time I came
• 2:01:07
  here, you gave me a hoodie. I did.
• 2:01:09
  I gave you a hoodie. You did for that photo,
• 2:01:11
  probably. Maybe.
• 2:01:12
  Just the fact that you took it, he did hand me makes sense.
• 2:01:15
  I I got what did I get from Frankie once.
• 2:01:18
  I don't know 4 alignments. No, you didn't.
• 2:01:20
  I. Pay for every single alignment,
• 2:01:22
  and if there was a member program, I would have had a.
• 2:01:26
  Free. A punch card, Yeah.
• 2:01:29
  Carl, I think you're going to be on that free alignment system
• 2:01:31
  next year. I got like six or seven of them.
• 2:01:35
  I think this year. No, no, probably like 4.
• 2:01:38
  Here's the thing, realistically, here's the thing, Carl's he
• 2:01:41
  can't abuse him cuz like he'll probably hit me up every week.
• 2:01:46
  Yo, the toe in the back. Well no, I changed it cuz.
• 2:01:50
  It's your fuel map. No.
• 2:01:52
  Why did I? It's got a nasty haul.
• 2:01:55
  No, but why was I changing them? Can you change?
• 2:01:58
  Parts I changed parts. That's the only time I only get
• 2:02:01
  in alignment when it makes sense to get in.
• 2:02:02
  Alignment when they're free. The car is still far.
• 2:02:07
  What am I going to change? Hey, Frankie, I'm here a little
• 2:02:09
  early. You mind changing toe out from
• 2:02:11
  .1 to .2? All right.
• 2:02:13
  Next photo. That's crazy.
• 2:02:14
  That'd be. Horrible.
• 2:02:15
  Oh shit. This is a film photo.
• 2:02:18
  And you know who would be pissed about that?
• 2:02:19
  My buddy Maddie. Was pissed at that shout out to
• 2:02:21
  Maddie. So this is you drifting?
• 2:02:23
  Yep. Oh, hell yeah, dude, this is
• 2:02:25
  sick. That looks great.
• 2:02:27
  And it's a film photo. In the rain this might have
• 2:02:30
  been. You took a You took a photo of
• 2:02:32
  your own car. Self timer.
• 2:02:36
  The setup for this photo was incredible, yeah.
• 2:02:38
  The self timer I was actually drifting and I had a wireless
• 2:02:41
  remote click. Damn, you should try that.
• 2:02:45
  No. Yeah.
• 2:02:46
  No, no, no, no. Wireless.
• 2:02:47
  Remote and then mid. And then you could literally be
• 2:02:51
  like, that's a photo of me drifting.
• 2:02:52
  I took it. What are people going to say?
• 2:02:54
  Dude, Eric, you have to do this. You have to wait.
• 2:02:57
  I did. Have once a wireless remote for
• 2:03:01
  a camera. At one point this is.
• 2:03:03
  Possible nowadays. Yeah, because this is what I
• 2:03:04
  would do. I would tape the the that remote
• 2:03:08
  smack dab right next to the power FC controller.
• 2:03:11
  I'm going to tape it on the handbrake.
• 2:03:13
  So when you're grabbing the hand.
• 2:03:14
  Right, That's pretty. Smart put it out of turn where I
• 2:03:16
  know. Him And then, yeah, that's what
• 2:03:18
  I would do like, I would just be driving and then be like, oh,
• 2:03:20
  there's a camera. So you did this?
• 2:03:21
  You did that? No, I use the.
• 2:03:24
  I use the wireless remote for light painting.
• 2:03:28
  Oh. Oh OK and to do it with one
• 2:03:30
  person like and when you press the button for when you're light
• 2:03:35
  painting like I feel like the camera would move so I got a
• 2:03:37
  remote so then I would like not touch it and just be like click
• 2:03:41
  and then not. Taking off, you can set your
• 2:03:42
  camera up to just have the shutter remain open.
• 2:03:45
  Yeah, I. Was going to ask you if you had
• 2:03:47
  any photos of you drifting so that we could prove to the world
• 2:03:49
  that you drift, but you just did.
• 2:03:51
  So that's. More proof than I saw, Conor.
• 2:03:53
  That's. Because Conor doesn't drift.
• 2:03:55
  Yes, he does. No, he doesn't.
• 2:03:57
  He's going to start. If you say one more bad thing
• 2:03:59
  about Conor, we might fight. Shut up, Conor.
• 2:04:03
  We're gonna have an episode with you both on at the same time
• 2:04:06
  eventually, 'cause that sounds like a fun time we could dive
• 2:04:09
  talking about media. Wait, there's more photos of
• 2:04:12
  the. Oh, let's go, yeah.
• 2:04:14
  Look how nice. This looks shout out to Darien
• 2:04:17
  Squared D. Before you say how nice this
• 2:04:19
  looks, can we talk about what's dragging on the side?
• 2:04:21
  What's bacon with that? Yeah, what's the with the Bacon
• 2:04:24
  Dragon on the side that? Looks like a spare rug.
• 2:04:26
  Cheap attempt at side skirts. OK, fair enough.
• 2:04:31
  Oh. I know what you use.
• 2:04:33
  What? What?
• 2:04:33
  What? Is that that those are just like
• 2:04:35
  NA garden? No, they're just like NA Miata
• 2:04:37
  side skirts from eBay. Just me trying to like complete
• 2:04:40
  a look. Oh 'cause you had the front one.
• 2:04:42
  Yeah, you know, the basic. What's the rear spat?
• 2:04:45
  The rear is a Mazda Appearance Package Valence.
• 2:04:48
  That's what you should have did for the whole thing, 'cause that
• 2:04:51
  shit looks sick and it's painted.
• 2:04:53
  I like that it. Completes the, IT completes the
• 2:04:55
  look, yeah. What's the spoiler situation?
• 2:04:58
  Here it is. A Toyota Celica wing.
• 2:05:00
  Pretty sick. I love the car.
• 2:05:02
  It's real nice. Yo, just look at the the back
• 2:05:06
  half of the car. Like, cut it down where the
• 2:05:08
  wheel is. That's a Viper.
• 2:05:11
  What are you what? Crack Are you what?
• 2:05:13
  Look at this. I'm looking at it.
• 2:05:14
  I'm looking at the photo right here.
• 2:05:15
  That's a Viper. Show me that.
• 2:05:19
  Must be the wing. Something about the wing, I
• 2:05:20
  don't know. I I mean, I don't.
• 2:05:23
  I don't. Think and the tail light, The
• 2:05:25
  tail light. It might look like that weird
• 2:05:27
  Viper ACR, like the original one it was AI had a toy of that and
• 2:05:31
  it had a wing that kind of looked like that.
• 2:05:33
  But Celica Wing? That's pretty interesting.
• 2:05:35
  Good looking car man. Yeah, I know.
• 2:05:37
  Now I kind of want one Like low key.
• 2:05:38
  Of course you do. No, they they do look good
• 2:05:41
  though I. Love that color.
• 2:05:42
  So my uncle. Has.
• 2:05:43
  Copper Red Mica 32V. You know what?
• 2:05:45
  You know what you got to buy when you own one of those.
• 2:05:48
  And Eric's going to laugh just because he's watched my whole
• 2:05:51
  story where I struggled working on this thing.
• 2:05:54
  So you got to buy a 13 mil. A 13 mil Fucking wrench and
• 2:06:00
  socket. I got them they.
• 2:06:02
  Use them. I got.
• 2:06:04
  I had to go. I went.
• 2:06:05
  I went right back to my box and the 13, like all the other
• 2:06:08
  sockets, may or may not have been gone, but the 13 couldn't.
• 2:06:11
  That be like 1/2 inch or something or like something.
• 2:06:14
  Could it have? I wasn't trying to freaking
• 2:06:16
  strip the bolt of my uncle's Miata.
• 2:06:18
  My uncle has one too. Yeah, yeah, you said.
• 2:06:20
  It was his has like 40,000 miles on it.
• 2:06:22
  It's like the nicest car I've like, ever worked on in terms of
• 2:06:26
  rust and like that had so many 13 mil bolts.
• 2:06:29
  You got to raise that rear up a little.
• 2:06:30
  Bit No, no, no, don't listen to Frankie here.
• 2:06:32
  That shit looks sick. Tucking.
• 2:06:34
  So that it it's level kind of match.
• 2:06:37
  You know what it is. It's it's always the front of
• 2:06:39
  the cars look like, they're like.
• 2:06:41
  You know what's funny too? That's what he likes.
• 2:06:43
  You know what's funny too? I ran A40 front side wall and a
• 2:06:46
  45 rear. Yeah, you know, it's it's a
• 2:06:49
  suspension because it's it's working.
• 2:06:51
  That's the problem. We want to.
• 2:06:52
  We want to make it not work. That's what we want to do here.
• 2:06:56
  No great photo though. Who took the photo?
• 2:06:58
  Darien Darien his his watermark is there at the bottom, squared.
• 2:07:01
  Squared. I've definitely seen that
• 2:07:02
  before. Oh yeah, yeah.
• 2:07:04
  Always shooting. Always Great photographer, you
• 2:07:07
  know. A little Advent sticker on the
• 2:07:09
  Fender. Beautiful.
• 2:07:10
  You know me printing. Got to make it myself beautiful.
• 2:07:13
  See it on your helmet too, he. Gets he printed more than one.
• 2:07:17
  Hell fucking yeah. All.
• 2:07:18
  Right, next photo. We're on the next batch of
• 2:07:21
  photos, yeah. This is some other just drifting
• 2:07:25
  Me and Mark, Mark and I. So where is this?
• 2:07:27
  This is Autobahn Country Club, The Skidpad.
• 2:07:30
  OK, is this where everyone goes to?
• 2:07:32
  Do certain events. This is like the road course
• 2:07:34
  you've seen people drifting like.
• 2:07:35
  The one that Simba did. Recently, Yeah, probably where
• 2:07:38
  he was. He was playing Forza in real
• 2:07:40
  life. Pretty much no.
• 2:07:42
  It's all very. So these two photos are, yeah.
• 2:07:45
  Yeah, yeah, that's that's about it for the.
• 2:07:47
  Picture that looks kind of like a your run-of-the-mill Street
• 2:07:52
  spot that last photo. I mean, this is exactly what
• 2:07:55
  Chicago St. spots look like. Like you got the fucking what is
• 2:07:58
  that? What is that town in the back
• 2:08:00
  that the town around Chicago where it's like industrial?
• 2:08:04
  Gary No. Gary IN.
• 2:08:07
  You don't drift in Gary IN you don't, you don't walk in Gary
• 2:08:10
  IN. But it's like an industrial area
• 2:08:13
  near Chicago I. Don't know with.
• 2:08:17
  Someone in the chat might be. Don't name, drop it if you if
• 2:08:20
  you don't have. No, no, no, no.
• 2:08:21
  Like exact location. It's just, you know, industrial
• 2:08:27
  area. But anyway, while you're driving
• 2:08:29
  on the highway around there, it's just fucking like factories
• 2:08:31
  or like towers, like everything. It's crazy.
• 2:08:35
  We got to do questions now, yeah.
• 2:08:37
  I was just signaling Malcolm for questions because I feel like we
• 2:08:40
  might have a few. We'd probably a bunch.
• 2:08:44
  But damn, now I want an NC me out of bed.
• 2:08:48
  Oh boy, 'cause then I could daily that it's got power
• 2:08:52
  windows. What kind of MP GS you get in
• 2:08:55
  that bad boy? I'm not.
• 2:08:57
  I put premium in it if that makes any difference.
• 2:08:59
  So it's probably they say. I think they recommend but it's
• 2:09:03
  not required. But I just do it anyway.
• 2:09:06
  I'm not really sure. Probably like 20 GS.
• 2:09:08
  Wise. 20 Oh, there is quite a few, is there quite a few.
• 2:09:14
  There's quite can. I piss real quick.
• 2:09:15
  Yeah, absolutely. And I'm going to, every time
• 2:09:18
  somebody takes a piss break, I feel like it's my opportunity to
• 2:09:21
  be like, thank you guys so much for listening because again, I I
• 2:09:25
  made like this post. I want to take actually a
• 2:09:27
  second. Thank God we did this to say
• 2:09:30
  thank you to our audience. I don't know if you saw, but
• 2:09:32
  when people were posting their Spotify Rep, we're at the top of
• 2:09:34
  some of those people's stuff. And like, I had to take a second
• 2:09:37
  to take a post about it. I was like, dude, or a story
• 2:09:40
  about it. Dude we were.
• 2:09:42
  We're posted at the top. Dude, we I've never posted so
• 2:09:45
  many stories in my entire life. Re shares.
• 2:09:47
  Everyone was was re sharing. I I was sitting there like.
• 2:09:51
  Crazy. What?
• 2:09:52
  Like thank you guys so much that that doesn't happen without our
• 2:09:56
  listeners. I guess you don't realize that
• 2:09:57
  people are actually listening to this until something like that
• 2:09:59
  happens. I don't, because when we're in
• 2:10:01
  here, I really want to exaggerate the fact that we're
• 2:10:03
  just hanging out. Yeah.
• 2:10:05
  Like, we really don't pay that much.
• 2:10:06
  Attention. I don't pay attention to the
• 2:10:07
  fact if anybody's having a good time or not.
• 2:10:09
  Like, I I don't know if I maybe I should.
• 2:10:11
  I probably won't. Don't bank on me doing that.
• 2:10:13
  But like, no, I really appreciate it.
• 2:10:15
  It's kind of crazy how that happens.
• 2:10:17
  Kind of awesome. And we've gone to meet so many
• 2:10:19
  people. 2024 is going to be crazy.
• 2:10:21
  We don't know what's in store for the podcast.
• 2:10:23
  If you know T pain, tell him I want to have him on the pod.
• 2:10:25
  Please T pain. I want to just tell him like,
• 2:10:28
  yo, the first time I shined out a fucking school dance was
• 2:10:32
  because of your song, man. Which song?
• 2:10:35
  Low. No, no.
• 2:10:37
  Low. Had T Pain in it.
• 2:10:39
  Yeah. Flo Rider and T Pain.
• 2:10:40
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:10:42
  Oh man, I was fucking busting down fucking straight Boston.
• 2:10:45
  Down Connor, says Chris. Chris looking different today.
• 2:10:48
  He kind of looks like an SR20. Hey, yo, Chris, you got
• 2:10:50
  something, You got something to say?
• 2:10:54
  Yo. Still nothing, no.
• 2:10:56
  He's still nothing. All right, Well, for those of
• 2:10:59
  you who are tuned into the video portion, I'm sitting next to
• 2:11:01
  Frankie's. Sri walked into the office today
• 2:11:03
  and I said, what is this doing here?
• 2:11:06
  And there's actually another one in the corner.
• 2:11:08
  Yeah, we've. Whose is that one?
• 2:11:11
  That's a spare one, but. That looks like it would fit in
• 2:11:13
  an IS. They both probably would.
• 2:11:16
  That one is not being used. Goodbye.
• 2:11:21
  All right. Let's get to some questions.
• 2:11:24
  You you read them first. All right, cool.
• 2:11:26
  I'm not good at reading. That's funny.
• 2:11:30
  This is from Corey Nay 77 opinions on Underglow style hot
• 2:11:34
  takes. I feel like we dealt on this
• 2:11:36
  earlier, but you like the shit that blows up.
• 2:11:39
  Actual neon. Yeah, actual neon.
• 2:11:42
  Well, you said. You said too.
• 2:11:43
  The glow is, you know. It's just like it's different.
• 2:11:47
  It does. It's different.
• 2:11:48
  But nowadays I feel like, you know, everybody's got that
• 2:11:51
  sponsor type S auto. You see those ones on the
• 2:11:53
  ground? They're so bright, like.
• 2:11:56
  Yeah, there's definitely coming from signs too.
• 2:12:00
  Like we deal with LED's, you know, mounting them.
• 2:12:02
  And very often there's problems with like hot spotting or you
• 2:12:05
  see like every individual diode. And I feel like I see that on
• 2:12:08
  certain cars, the way they're mounted, like the execution.
• 2:12:11
  Again, the execution of the underglow is important.
• 2:12:14
  Now what kind of gas is in there?
• 2:12:16
  The execution. Is poor on 90% of them.
• 2:12:19
  It's bad, man. Bro, I don't know how though
• 2:12:21
  because I mounted a set of those and they look fine.
• 2:12:24
  You sure? Yes.
• 2:12:26
  I don't remember what they look like, but.
• 2:12:28
  They were pink, you said. I know it's clashing.
• 2:12:30
  It needs to be blue. Oh, that sounds like something
• 2:12:32
  that was, yeah. All.
• 2:12:34
  Right, Blue would look good. Blue and blue.
• 2:12:36
  No light blue. I wish that.
• 2:12:38
  I wish there was an under glow where it was like fucking
• 2:12:41
  straight bright white. You can.
• 2:12:43
  On the ground you can just. No one does it.
• 2:12:45
  Just bright white on the ground and then there will be strobes
• 2:12:48
  in the headlights. Strobes are way fucking cooler
• 2:12:51
  than under glow. Yeah, until I personally get
• 2:12:53
  distracted by my own strobes, 'cause I'm like, back.
• 2:12:56
  That decision for sure. You're in tandem and someone's
• 2:12:59
  behind you. Well, I I said that that was
• 2:13:02
  going to be my my secret strategy for the car tracker.
• 2:13:05
  Just throw them on. I would just have strobe so that
• 2:13:07
  when you're chasing me, you're just like.
• 2:13:08
  What is that? It's like a Batman trick,
• 2:13:10
  Batmobile trick, yeah. Yeah, turn on the oil slick.
• 2:13:13
  Yeah. Yep.
• 2:13:14
  Just flip a switch. This is from Diego Emperor Uno
• 2:13:20
  New Jersey versus Illinois. Who has the best break?
• 2:13:23
  Diego. Come on son, we just talked
• 2:13:25
  about this and they got loaves of bread over there in circle
• 2:13:28
  form. That's why I feel like I picked
• 2:13:32
  her a bagel, though that's not from here.
• 2:13:34
  He said, he said who has the best bagel, Illinois or New
• 2:13:37
  Jersey? New Jersey come.
• 2:13:40
  On easy peasy. When I'm home, somebody take me.
• 2:13:44
  If you know a bagel place, take me.
• 2:13:46
  And then we'll have to get you back on.
• 2:13:49
  This is from TSB. Sam.
• 2:13:50
  Shout out TSB, that's team Smooth Brain.
• 2:13:53
  What's the better Miata engine 1-6 or one eight?
• 2:13:57
  I'm not gonna read the second-half of the question, but
• 2:14:01
  it's bad. But which one did you have you
• 2:14:03
  had? So I only had an NA with a 1.6.
• 2:14:06
  So that's the small block, yeah? It's the small.
• 2:14:10
  Block big block. Well, shout out Fischetti.
• 2:14:13
  He would call it the the 18 like a a big block one and I was
• 2:14:16
  like, you call it the what. He's like, that's the big block.
• 2:14:20
  And he would call it IS the dual or what did he call it?
• 2:14:22
  Crew. Cab.
• 2:14:23
  Miata. He called the what?
• 2:14:26
  Because they had a teammate with an IS or a little bit.
• 2:14:28
  I think his name was Pete, and then he would tandem with the
• 2:14:32
  Miatas and they would just call it a Crew Cab Miata.
• 2:14:34
  I thought that that was funny. Can we not read some of these
• 2:14:37
  questions because they get weird?
• 2:14:39
  No, I'm going to read a majority of them.
• 2:14:40
  I'm just going to omit the ones that are, like, borderline too
• 2:14:43
  much problematic. Speaking of Fishetti, he said.
• 2:14:46
  Miata, thumbs up, and this one's from FRS.
• 2:14:50
  Zach, where do you see yourself in five years?
• 2:14:54
  Interesting. Yeah, that's that's an interview
• 2:14:57
  question. That really is.
• 2:14:58
  Yeah, good question. Here we go.
• 2:15:01
  Right on the spot. Where do you see yourself in
• 2:15:03
  five? Years in general.
• 2:15:06
  Let's relate it, let's rate it, relate it more around the
• 2:15:09
  automotive space so we could kind of not get depressed about
• 2:15:13
  our lives. I'm down to get depressed.
• 2:15:17
  You always are 'cause you're a down ass bitch.
• 2:15:19
  I'm down to feel something. Let's go.
• 2:15:23
  Let's get tased on the pod, yeah?
• 2:15:25
  What? I would.
• 2:15:26
  Don't tempt me. I would.
• 2:15:28
  You got one on you? Not here, but I have.
• 2:15:31
  It has to be one of them ones where somebody has to.
• 2:15:32
  Catch. You want me to shoot you with
• 2:15:34
  it? The ones with the pros.
• 2:15:35
  Where you got, where you got to catch me, Where you got to catch
• 2:15:37
  me, I don't know. Yeah, I'm down.
• 2:15:39
  I just won't tell you though, you can't going to be here one
• 2:15:42
  day and I'm just going to. Be like you can't.
• 2:15:43
  You can't tell me, OK? You can't tell me.
• 2:15:46
  And then all of a sudden I'll just be like.
• 2:15:48
  Yeah. You're going to fucking write
• 2:15:50
  down. Just so everyone knows, it's on
• 2:15:52
  record, he said. That all right?
• 2:15:55
  Christ, I'm going to walk in here next week like, hey Gaga.
• 2:16:01
  On the part is crazy taste. Live Taser, five years.
• 2:16:09
  Automotive space, maybe. Still drifting?
• 2:16:13
  Who knows? Maybe.
• 2:16:15
  Unless the EPA fucks us that bad.
• 2:16:17
  Stop. Let's not talk about it.
• 2:16:20
  Where do you think you're going to be in five years?
• 2:16:22
  Frank me. Well, me and Eric are going to
• 2:16:24
  be drifting. See the seat?
• 2:16:26
  Right fucking here. All right, this is it.
• 2:16:30
  This is all I'm doing. This is it.
• 2:16:31
  Fucking working. That's insane.
• 2:16:34
  Yep. I would like to.
• 2:16:36
  Be I would like to be J thing, yeah.
• 2:16:39
  Like I would, I would like to be.
• 2:16:40
  Drifting but. I would like to be in a place
• 2:16:42
  where I feel like I don't need to keep.
• 2:16:44
  It's going to stay that way forever.
• 2:16:46
  And I'm going to be like, all right, new school's happening,
• 2:16:48
  but this is mine. Like, what do you mean?
• 2:16:51
  You know what I mean? Like, the car will reach its
• 2:16:52
  point where to me it's like, timeless.
• 2:16:54
  Now I'm like, this is what I wanted.
• 2:16:57
  It's going to be like, it's at the height, just in just a half
• 2:16:59
  an inch above the tire in the front and then in the back.
• 2:17:03
  The tire has to be tucking like just 1/4 of an inch.
• 2:17:06
  The back is fine. The front needs to be level with
• 2:17:09
  the top of the tire or lower. I'll give you top of tire cuz
• 2:17:13
  that's how my tire mindset I have right now.
• 2:17:15
  All right. Fair enough.
• 2:17:16
  Yes. Did you even answer the
• 2:17:17
  question? Yeah.
• 2:17:18
  He said. Just drifting.
• 2:17:19
  Yeah, drifting and. What about your personal life?
• 2:17:22
  Where do you wanna be? You still wanna be living here?
• 2:17:24
  Maybe. Where are you moving?
• 2:17:26
  Because I'm. Like a nomad to me, like.
• 2:17:28
  You don't know what this guy he could.
• 2:17:29
  Just like, get up and be like, fuck it, I'm going to Vegas.
• 2:17:31
  Well, you already took the one. You took a leap already.
• 2:17:34
  Once I had a code here. I haven't even done that shit,
• 2:17:37
  but I could. Do you see yourself ever?
• 2:17:39
  Moving. Yeah.
• 2:17:40
  Could you do that? I think about it all the time,
• 2:17:43
  yeah, But I need to. I First things first is work.
• 2:17:47
  So like if there's no opportunity there for me, there
• 2:17:50
  has to be more than one opportunity.
• 2:17:51
  Yeah, it has to make sense. Yeah 'cause God forbid the
• 2:17:53
  opportunity one fails, then you need 2/3, 4:00 and 5:00 and
• 2:17:56
  then. Carl thrives on his friendships,
• 2:17:59
  but I also know that he can make friends with anyone.
• 2:18:01
  So you probably. It's pretty evident, yeah, I
• 2:18:03
  feel like. Where would I you're.
• 2:18:05
  Like a capybara, they're friends with everybody in the animal
• 2:18:08
  world. I.
• 2:18:08
  Would want to try Texas Caby Bars are friends with all the
• 2:18:12
  animals. Johnny's going to love this.
• 2:18:14
  Conversation. You've never seen the photo of
• 2:18:16
  like, a cappy bar next to like a crocodile and they're just
• 2:18:19
  chilling. Bullshit.
• 2:18:20
  I'm serious. Bullshit.
• 2:18:22
  Yeah. Crocodile's not eating.
• 2:18:24
  Him. No, they're just hanging.
• 2:18:26
  Yeah, they're just on the water. And Crocodile's on dummy mode.
• 2:18:29
  He could be fed. He.
• 2:18:30
  Just didn't see them yet and the guy took the photo.
• 2:18:33
  It's just yeah, there's no fucking way.
• 2:18:36
  Carl's friends with everybody. I might, I don't know.
• 2:18:40
  We'll see. That's that's like a grown up
• 2:18:41
  move that I would have to think about probably for.
• 2:18:44
  More than 10 seconds it comes with this challenges like
• 2:18:46
  everything you know. What was like probably the
• 2:18:48
  biggest challenge for you when you moved?
• 2:18:52
  It's obviously very different here as far as dealing with
• 2:18:55
  people you know a lot. I don't know how to put this in.
• 2:19:01
  Don't ever say that to a stranger.
• 2:19:02
  You can offend us, please. Hey, how's it going?
• 2:19:06
  Don't say that. I would say the positive aspect
• 2:19:08
  of that is I'm a very like reserved kind of quiet kind of
• 2:19:11
  person and like moving here you can't be that you got.
• 2:19:14
  To feel like you're a very disciplined person.
• 2:19:16
  I would say that's true, yeah. Yeah, 'cause you build things
• 2:19:20
  probably to your vision and your vision.
• 2:19:22
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's definitely, you know, it's it's
• 2:19:26
  always for me what I want to do. That's good like.
• 2:19:29
  So go back to that. You say you can't be a quiet and
• 2:19:31
  reserved person. Is that a fact?
• 2:19:34
  No. That that's how you felt?
• 2:19:36
  I think when I moved, that's how I felt.
• 2:19:38
  I was like still kind of just like, you know, to myself and
• 2:19:42
  like being here, you know, you kind of have to, you got to
• 2:19:45
  speak up for yourself. More things like.
• 2:19:47
  That Yeah. Use your sharp voice Exactly,
• 2:19:48
  Ma. No.
• 2:19:49
  Let your nuts hang. Yeah, There you go.
• 2:19:51
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:19:52
  No. Yeah, I guess I get what you're
• 2:19:54
  saying. I mean, I don't know.
• 2:19:56
  I feel like I know some quiet and reserved people.
• 2:19:57
  Literally can't think of one right now.
• 2:19:59
  But right here. Sitting down in the street.
• 2:20:01
  You excuse me, what? No, no, no.
• 2:20:04
  No. No.
• 2:20:05
  No. Literally no.
• 2:20:06
  I mean, sometimes I could be. No.
• 2:20:09
  If my no, you don't know me, dude.
• 2:20:10
  I don't know you at all, right? Sometimes.
• 2:20:12
  Yeah, right, Anyway. That's my super.
• 2:20:14
  You don't know what I do outside.
• 2:20:15
  Malcolm You know any quiet and reserved people?
• 2:20:18
  Chris. I mean, Chris, I guess.
• 2:20:24
  Chris is pretty, I guess Chris is the quiet as we get around
• 2:20:27
  here, yeah. He's actually when I first met
• 2:20:30
  Jesus, I thought he was going to be quiet.
• 2:20:32
  And then now he says some of the funniest shit I've ever heard.
• 2:20:35
  Ever. He'll be yelling shit in the
• 2:20:36
  shop all day. Like Ice Spice will say some
• 2:20:39
  shit and be like what did. She fucking say, trying.
• 2:20:42
  To think of somebody who's quiet and.
• 2:20:44
  He just talks to himself. He'll be answering the people
• 2:20:46
  singing the song. Because Chris ain't talking to
• 2:20:48
  no one. Chris gets here in the morning,
• 2:20:49
  he's just fucking. He's literally asleep still.
• 2:20:51
  We were wondering how he's walking.
• 2:20:53
  And then, like, Jesus, Chris and Jesus are the exact opposite in
• 2:20:57
  the morning. Literally the exact opposite,
• 2:20:59
  really. Chris walks in here and he'll be
• 2:21:01
  asleep for another hour. Jesus walks in here and he's got
• 2:21:04
  a grinder going like the first thing in the morning and and
• 2:21:06
  Chris is like, what the fuck? And Jesus is just fuck, yeah, I
• 2:21:12
  got to grind this caliber fucking air compressor
• 2:21:15
  screaming. And then, yeah, like Malcolm
• 2:21:17
  said, he's just talking to himself and shit, like, and
• 2:21:20
  literally he'll say shit and we just start laughing here.
• 2:21:23
  I can wake up in the morning and and get right to it.
• 2:21:27
  Yeah, you and Jesus. I have to throw myself in right
• 2:21:29
  away if if I need to get something done, dude, first
• 2:21:33
  thing in the morning, fucking just start ripping, ripping
• 2:21:35
  through it. Then the rest of your day you're
• 2:21:37
  going to do a bunch of productive shit.
• 2:21:38
  That's the most productive. Chris picks the most.
• 2:21:40
  Productive week of my life. Chris wakes up at about 5:00 PM
• 2:21:43
  and then he tells me everything he needs me to order for the day
• 2:21:46
  and then I tell him everyone's closed and then he goes home.
• 2:21:48
  He's. Like, right dude.
• 2:21:50
  See you. Tomorrow.
• 2:21:51
  See you tomorrow. That's how that goes.
• 2:21:54
  Dude, I'm telling you man, when When shit has to get done, dude,
• 2:21:57
  God, God bless the day this place get turns into an empire
• 2:22:00
  like you saying it would, you know?
• 2:22:02
  And then and then I'm coming in here as shit.
• 2:22:05
  You know I'm coming in. Good morning, boys.
• 2:22:08
  Good morning. How we doing?
• 2:22:10
  What Carl means to say is one day you can afford me and I'm
• 2:22:13
  going to be coming in here and I'm going to be there's.
• 2:22:16
  Going to have to be something where I have to work for my own
• 2:22:19
  money, like like eventually, no, no no like.
• 2:22:22
  No. No, no.
• 2:22:23
  Like like that way. Not for nothing.
• 2:22:27
  That way I could make keep making the money that I I make
• 2:22:30
  and then work here and then, but then but then everything is just
• 2:22:33
  on me. Like I don't have my my
• 2:22:36
  profession right now. It's not like a let me work more
• 2:22:39
  so then I can get paid more. Like let me work more days, let
• 2:22:42
  me work more hours. I have a salary.
• 2:22:45
  It's not worth it. Capped, right?
• 2:22:47
  You're not capped at that amount, like they can give you a
• 2:22:48
  raise. Yeah, the end of the year is
• 2:22:50
  coming up. You do like a review.
• 2:22:53
  They don't just be like good job on that raise for you.
• 2:22:57
  Doesn't happen like that's what I do here.
• 2:22:58
  You got to have a formal HR meeting.
• 2:23:00
  You got to propose why you need a raise.
• 2:23:02
  I give raises every. Week.
• 2:23:03
  And the reason isn't the reason isn't like, well, my one J just
• 2:23:07

  business. Yeah.

• 2:24:22
  Not at all. Next week about to be crazy.
• 2:24:24
  Oh my God. Malcolm, I swear to God I'll be
• 2:24:28
  so fucking. Pissed.
• 2:24:29
  And when Malcolm leaves, just so everyone knows, the podcast
• 2:24:32
  leaves, so you might want to hope that he stays around too.
• 2:24:34
  Yeah, because we all know what's going to happen if Malcolm left.
• 2:24:37
  I would be like, all right, I'll just try to do it, I guess, and
• 2:24:42

• 2:26:21

  OK, sun is down. That was scary.
• 2:28:14
  We fucking. Sun is down.
• 2:28:17
  This is from Ricardo and I know who's in the chat.
• 2:28:20
  What is your go to lens? That's the air go to.
• 2:28:24
  Lens. What's your go to lens, Ricky?
• 2:28:27
  My go to lens. They got cataracts.
• 2:28:33
  I got a loop old. What is it?
• 2:28:36
  Fucking 9 by my spotting scope. I was gonna say, is it I?
• 2:28:42
  Thought you were gonna shoot it? Related Ray Ban.
• 2:28:43
  No. No, no.
• 2:28:45
  That's pretty good lens though. All right, Well, you go to lens,
• 2:28:48
  Eric. 70 to 200. 70 to 202 hundred is like the.
• 2:28:53
  Max Vocal Lens Max. Yoga.
• 2:28:55
  Telephoto 70 the the optical What's the what's the size of
• 2:28:59
  the range? The size of the diameter of the
• 2:29:03
  lens? Is that OK?
• 2:29:04
  How do you know that? I'm just thinking of scopes I
• 2:29:08
  don't know, like the. Actual.
• 2:29:09
  You mean like the actual diameter?
• 2:29:10
  Yeah, like is that one. 70 describe.
• 2:29:13
  No, the 70 is the focal length. The at minimum.
• 2:29:16
  Like it, it's a zoom lens. You can zoom from 70mm out to
• 2:29:20
  200. Millimeters, OK.
• 2:29:21
  So that's just the range. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:29:22
  Yeah. Just the range.
• 2:29:24
  I used to shoot on A50 mil and it didn't zoom.
• 2:29:27
  I think that's called a prime. Ding, Ding, Ding yes, Ding,
• 2:29:30
  Ding, Ding. I would have to do this if I had
• 2:29:32
  to take a picture of of Eric right now from where I am, I
• 2:29:36
  would back up over there and it would just be a picture of just
• 2:29:39
  Eric. 'S I believe 50mm is similar to
• 2:29:41
  what like the focal length the the human eye sees, but
• 2:29:45
  obviously but obviously not the the whole perspective 'cause we
• 2:29:48
  see, you know, peripherally. So it would just.
• 2:29:50
  Be there. Right.
• 2:29:52
  Yes. That's why people do that.
• 2:29:54
  That's why people do this, you know, Wow.
• 2:29:57
  To kind of frame it up. I thought it was just to look
• 2:29:59
  like a Jackass. Sorry for the for the audio
• 2:30:03
  listeners. We're putting our fingers like
• 2:30:05
  an L together. Put your like a square.
• 2:30:07
  Put your index finger to your thumb and vice versa and you
• 2:30:10

• 2:30:11
  Directors do it all the time. Wait, what?
• 2:30:16
  Instructions Unclear. This is what Malcolm did.
• 2:30:20
  He put his fingers. Now Malcolm's like how am I
• 2:30:23
  supposed to see? Next question.
• 2:30:29
  This one's from carboy dot JP. What's up everyone?
• 2:30:32
  Deep dive into aliens. Go.
• 2:30:34
  Yo I. Don't.
• 2:30:35
  No, no, no. No, no, I won't.
• 2:30:37
  Maybe I won't go deep dive carboy.
• 2:30:38
  I'm so sorry. But the other day I meant to
• 2:30:42
  Dude, me and Daryl again ran into some weird shit and Frankie
• 2:30:47
  said it's 'cause we may or may not have been smoking Mario.
• 2:30:49
  Karl finds it weird that he only sees aliens with Daryl.
• 2:30:51
  Duh. No.
• 2:30:51
  No, no, no, no. No.
• 2:30:52
  They're both under the influence, fucking burnt.
• 2:30:56
  Like, just fucking fucking no. Longer bake just burnt.
• 2:31:00
  But. It's not even like that.
• 2:31:03
  It's we were on the top of Harriman.
• 2:31:05
  I haven't taken my car there all season.
• 2:31:07
  So I was like, you know what I'm going to drive it to the top of.
• 2:31:10
  Harriman picked up, Darrell went to the top.
• 2:31:12
  We're sitting there looking straight off towards New York
• 2:31:14
  City. It was so clear out.
• 2:31:16
  So there's no fog, no nothing. No light pollution other than
• 2:31:20
  the city. Just on the opposite, like, not
• 2:31:22
  opposite. But if you take the same angle
• 2:31:25
  and look a little bit more to the right, it's just all
• 2:31:27
  mountains. And it goes all the way down to
• 2:31:28
  the Delaware Water Gap. So I'm looking out to the right
• 2:31:33
  and there's this little white thing.
• 2:31:37
  It's like a disk. Not a disk, but it's flat and
• 2:31:40
  skinny and it's moving like slowly.
• 2:31:43
  And I'm like, yo, do you see that over there?
• 2:31:45
  Like, what is that shit? And he's like, my, what is that
• 2:31:49
  plane? I'm like, Nah, that ain't no
• 2:31:50
  plane, son. Like, I'm looking at it, like
• 2:31:53
  staring at it because that last time this happened, cute ZAP
• 2:31:57
  went away, right? It always goes away.
• 2:31:59
  So now I'm literally just staring at him, like not letting
• 2:32:03
  it leave my sight. And it's just there.
• 2:32:05
  It's far and it's there. And I'm like, it's a it's a
• 2:32:08
  plane and I know it's moving, 'cause I'm I'm like seeing it.
• 2:32:12
  I'm like in relation to the ground, it's moving.
• 2:32:15
  But then a couple other ones show up and I'm like, were those
• 2:32:18
  there before? And then he's me.
• 2:32:21
  Me and Dara are both in the Grants.
• 2:32:22
  No, they were not. And then maybe like a minute or
• 2:32:25
  two later, they're slowly moving, but then we would have
• 2:32:30
  continued to see them down here to the right some more, but
• 2:32:32
  eventually they were just gone. You didn't see him take off?
• 2:32:37
  No, they just, I I'm telling you, by the time I, like, looked
• 2:32:40
  around, I took a picture of my car and you know made like a
• 2:32:44
  quick little reel at that point. And I looked and they're nowhere
• 2:32:46
  to be found. Not even like in the distance.
• 2:32:49
  Nothing I. Don't know man.
• 2:32:51
  And here's another thing. I was like, could be a plane,
• 2:32:53
  could be a plane, could have been just somebody taking their
• 2:32:55
  Discovery flight like me. But but there was, but it was
• 2:33:00
  way too far. And I like, you know, I pull up
• 2:33:03
  my phone, I'm like, where is there going to be an airport
• 2:33:06
  around here? And why are there like three or
• 2:33:08
  four of them, like just tandeming And then there's no
• 2:33:11
  airports, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 2:33:13
  I'm like, what the fuck did we just see?
• 2:33:14
  I got to talk to Frankie about this.
• 2:33:16
  I don't know about that one I'd have.
• 2:33:18
  To see it. It was weird, dude.
• 2:33:20
  I wish. I wish you there were no you
• 2:33:24
  know, like on a plane you have the jet stream looking thing in
• 2:33:26
  the back. None.
• 2:33:28
  Not a, not a how. Many people were there 3.
• 2:33:30
  Three or four, I don't really remember.
• 2:33:32
  I. They.
• 2:33:32
  Usually come in triplets. They come in three, they come in
• 2:33:36
  threes. That's.
• 2:33:37
  Eric, have you ever seen any UFOs?
• 2:33:41
  Not to come to mind, no. Start looking up.
• 2:33:44
  They're all around here. Dude, when I'm by my love, now
• 2:33:47
  I'm just paranoid and I'm just said.
• 2:33:49
  That on Rogan. Well, they do.
• 2:33:51
  Joey Diaz. Yes.
• 2:33:53
  I've seen that, Joey. Diaz.
• 2:33:54
  He's fucking. Fucking hilarious.
• 2:33:55
  But they're right that a lot of people see aliens.
• 2:33:57
  Munaki. UFOs around here.
• 2:33:59
  Munaki is a cross. Fucking Munaki.
• 2:34:02
  Yeah. Joey Diaz is the man.
• 2:34:03
  He's hilarious. I.
• 2:34:04
  Want to see him in? I want to see that.
• 2:34:06
  Stand up, him. Do stand up, dude.
• 2:34:08
  Oh my God. Any podcast I ever see with Joey
• 2:34:10
  Diaz, I'm like listening to that.
• 2:34:12
  Thing Yeah, he's just so New Jersey.
• 2:34:14
  Yeah, 100% North Bergen. Yep.
• 2:34:17
  He's got great stories, man. That's awesome.
• 2:34:20
  But yeah, yeah, he spoke about aliens.
• 2:34:23
  I remember that. But he's right that a lot of
• 2:34:26
  people, dude. Everyone, not everyone, but a
• 2:34:29
  lot of people. You bring up aliens around here
• 2:34:31
  and they all have like a UFO sighting.
• 2:34:32
  That's crazy. Yeah, I remember this one night
• 2:34:34
  we were out at like kind of like what he's saying where he's
• 2:34:37
  like, yeah, we saw these things and all of a sudden they were
• 2:34:39
  gone and they just, they just flew.
• 2:34:41
  They just. Ants.
• 2:34:43
  Ants come. They're coming to look at ants
• 2:34:44
  in the colonies. The thing is is for me, like,
• 2:34:48
  and I feel like a good majority of the population is like, yeah,
• 2:34:50
  we're maybe mildly concerned, I feel.
• 2:34:54
  Like no one's concerned. And we're like, oh, what is
• 2:34:56
  that? But don't you think if somebody,
• 2:34:58
  if me and Darrell were actually concerned, we would be like?
• 2:35:00
  Let's call someone. Oh my God, guys.
• 2:35:02
  There's a fucking Defcon 8. Fucking get that sucker.
• 2:35:07
  I'm more concerned about the federal government than those UF
• 2:35:09
  OS, to be honest with you. Yeah, because I feel like if the
• 2:35:11
  UF OS really were, you think he's just going to fly over the
• 2:35:14
  top of us and not hurt us if they were, or he or she.
• 2:35:17
  If they wanted to do it, I mean. They would have done it by now,
• 2:35:19
  I. Don't know, but people do get
• 2:35:20
  abducted. Apparently so.
• 2:35:22
  Maybe. Maybe the alien that day was
• 2:35:24
  like, hey, that guy is with his bro having a Sife.
• 2:35:27
  We'll just keep going. Didn't Joey Diaz talk about
• 2:35:30
  abduction too in that? I can't remember.
• 2:35:34
  That was the craziest part. It was like some.
• 2:35:36
  No, I thought Rogan interviewed somebody who was abduct
• 2:35:40
  abducted. Oh, he did.
• 2:35:41
  Yeah. He has done that before.
• 2:35:43
  Those people are always kind of. You're not sure?
• 2:35:45
  Those people are exactly how you would expect them to be after
• 2:35:47
  they were abducted by aliens. So it's like you can't, you
• 2:35:50
  don't really know. They're always like.
• 2:35:53
  Yeah, that you saw him? Yeah, you're talking about the
• 2:35:55
  same guy. Well, the lumber yard actually,
• 2:35:58
  but dude, that guy had was probably full of life before.
• 2:36:01
  I never saw the movie about him. They made a movie.
• 2:36:04
  Apparently it fucking ruined people's lives when they watched
• 2:36:06
  that movie. It's an abduction movie.
• 2:36:09
  I won't watch that shit. I have mild scary tattoo.
• 2:36:12
  I play this. Video I don't do aliens, OK?
• 2:36:14
  Yeah, I don't. I don't fuck with that.
• 2:36:16
  I can't. I mean, I'll watch it just to
• 2:36:18
  torture myself, but like, I I don't want to like Signs.
• 2:36:21
  That movie fucking ruined me. Everybody in the chat that one
• 2:36:24
  day when you brought up signs knew what it was.
• 2:36:26
  Oh my God, man. I can't.
• 2:36:28
  And now going back, if you watch that movie, it's probably kind
• 2:36:30
  of cheesy when you see like the Alien and stuff, but like, the
• 2:36:33
  point is you don't really see it.
• 2:36:35
  You don't and you don't know you don't.
• 2:36:37
  We? No one really fucking concrete
• 2:36:39
  knows a that's what that is. It looks like.
• 2:36:42
  That dude. Scariest scene you ever seen the
• 2:36:45
  movie. No.
• 2:36:46
  Oh my God, I haven't seen it. Spoiler alert.
• 2:36:48
  Scariest fucking scene. It's right in the beginning.
• 2:36:52
  So they they haven't. It's about this family that
• 2:36:54
  lives on a farm. Course.
• 2:36:55
  They have a cornfield course, Yeah, Yeah.
• 2:36:58
  The dad is super religious. He lives with his brother.
• 2:37:01
  I believe the dad just lost his wife.
• 2:37:05
  And then they have two kids, a daughter and a son, and that's,
• 2:37:09
  that's, that's the whole thing. Family dynamic.
• 2:37:11
  That's the family dynamic. And the brothers kind of like, I
• 2:37:14
  don't know if he's like a loser or lost his job or some shit,
• 2:37:16
  but he's like struggling through some shit.
• 2:37:18
  And Mel Gibson's in it and he's a fucking amazing in that movie.
• 2:37:22
  And it's just, it's just weird stuff starts happening.
• 2:37:26
  Like I think the dog got killed or something one night.
• 2:37:30
  So the dog's dead and they're like, what the fuck is going on?
• 2:37:34
  And obviously you've seen the trailer, you know what's going
• 2:37:35
  to happen. But like, as you're watching the
• 2:37:37
  movie, if you could just put yourself in their in their
• 2:37:39
  places, you're like, this is getting kind of weird, like and
• 2:37:42
  so he thinks someone's fucking with the family, right?
• 2:37:44
  So. Rationalize.
• 2:37:46
  Yeah. Because he does not believe in
• 2:37:48
  that shit. But the brother is starting to
• 2:37:49
  like think like something weird going on.
• 2:37:53
  So they got crop circles. That's one of the first things.
• 2:37:55
  And they're like, what the fuck are these kids doing?
• 2:37:57
  And. All this shit.
• 2:37:58
  And then one artists, yeah. And then one night it gets it
• 2:38:03
  gets bad. Like someone's on the roof or
• 2:38:06
  something. Like something's making noise,
• 2:38:07
  physical noise where the dad's like, fuck this, Him and his
• 2:38:10
  brother, they get bats, they go outside, they start screaming.
• 2:38:14
  They're just trying to make like they're trying to scare.
• 2:38:16
  Whoever. Whatever it is away, Yeah.
• 2:38:19
  This I I didn't even mean to talk about this scene, but I
• 2:38:21
  don't know which scene comes first.
• 2:38:24
  You see, like they run into the cornfield at one point try to
• 2:38:27
  check 'cause they think they saw something.
• 2:38:29
  So, like, I fucking got him. Like I.
• 2:38:31
  We're going to. And you just see, like, the leg,
• 2:38:35
  like he was standing on the corner of the cornfield.
• 2:38:36
  He signs, shines the flashlight over there.
• 2:38:38
  And it's it's steady, right? It's just A and then you just
• 2:38:42
  see a leg go into the corn and you're like, whoa, what the fuck
• 2:38:45
  was that? And he gets scared.
• 2:38:47
  I'm running in the house. Yeah, And he gives up and runs
• 2:38:51
  back and after that moment, that's where it changes.
• 2:38:53
  Like now he believes that it's there's something going on.
• 2:38:57
  But the scene I was talking about was when the the girl,
• 2:38:59
  it's probably the same scene earlier in it.
• 2:39:01
  The girl comes in and she go the little girl and she goes, daddy,
• 2:39:05
  there's a monster outside my window or some shit.
• 2:39:08
  And I was like Oh no. And then he's like, no, there's
• 2:39:11
  not. And he follows her and he looks
• 2:39:14
  outside and it's all like in dark, right?
• 2:39:17
  And you know how you, like, you look outside.
• 2:39:19
  You see like the outline of a shed or something.
• 2:39:22
  You can see the outline of like the farm shed or whatever, and
• 2:39:26
  you just see something standing up there and you can barely see
• 2:39:29
  it. Dude, that part was what scared
• 2:39:33
  me. Just that.
• 2:39:34
  I'm out. Seriously lost.
• 2:39:35
  Like the not showing? Yeah, is what's the scary.
• 2:39:38
  Just seeing the shadow. And then, like, that's when I
• 2:39:40
  think that's when he decided, like, I'm gonna go outside and
• 2:39:42
  try to find this person. And then you see the leg and
• 2:39:44
  everything and you're like, Oh my fucking God, dude.
• 2:39:47
  Some of the Paranormal Activity movies.
• 2:39:49
  Yeah, those makes me feel like. In the shoestring budget movies
• 2:39:52
  and they're amazing. Yeah, those movies were good.
• 2:39:55
  Really good. But something about aliens?
• 2:39:57
  The one with the 2 girls and like the imaginary friend.
• 2:40:01
  I forget which paranormal activity that was.
• 2:40:03
  That one was fucking scary. I saw that in the theater.
• 2:40:05
  The one with the cubby hole or whatever where like, not the
• 2:40:07
  cubby. Was named the guy.
• 2:40:09
  They named it Toby. Toby Yeah, I remember that.
• 2:40:11
  That was a. Good movie.
• 2:40:13
  That was scary. The name of the movie was Toby.
• 2:40:15
  No, it's Paranormal Activity. But the ghost friend she had was
• 2:40:18
  named Toby. It was a demon.
• 2:40:20
  Can't take that. Seriously.
• 2:40:21
  And the grandma was, like, into witchcraft or something?
• 2:40:23
  I should Oh. Spoiling the end where it was
• 2:40:25
  like. A cult.
• 2:40:26
  The house. Remember the That cult part was
• 2:40:28
  a scary one. Scene that always plays in my
• 2:40:31
  head is when they lookout the window and they see the light,
• 2:40:32
  the fire outside of yeah cause all the shills.
• 2:40:35
  Even thinking about those movies Paranormal.
• 2:40:37
  Fuck no. What the?
• 2:40:38
  Watch them so these. Movies are always like about a
• 2:40:40
  house, like, like, and there's not many people in it.
• 2:40:43
  It's just like the people that live in the house.
• 2:40:45
  That's it. Yeah.
• 2:40:45
  That you don't see a lot of. Characters filmed?
• 2:40:47
  Is it kind of POV stuff? It's supposed to be, yeah.
• 2:40:50
  So it's all like handheld camera work and you know, fixed angles
• 2:40:53
  and you know things happen. And then the.
• 2:40:55
  And it has like it has like AVCR or not like you know like a home
• 2:40:58
  movie kind of vibe to. It, yeah, I feel like I knew
• 2:41:01
  that, like. Found found footage, kind of.
• 2:41:02
  Deal. That's how they try to make it.
• 2:41:04
  And then the third one, they changed it up because at the
• 2:41:06
  end, all of a sudden they introduce all these fucking
• 2:41:09
  people and you know why you're scared is because you're not
• 2:41:11
  used is seeing that in this. Movie that many people.
• 2:41:14
  Yeah. Good point.
• 2:41:15
  Yeah. So the second you see all of
• 2:41:16
  these people, you're immediately like what?
• 2:41:18
  Over stimulated. You're not comfortable?
• 2:41:20
  Yeah. What's going on here?
• 2:41:22
  And it, dude, they really get you at the end of that movie.
• 2:41:24
  I want to go back and rewatch those.
• 2:41:26
  Fuck. OK, All right.
• 2:41:28
  No. Enough movies.
• 2:41:29
  Off next one. This one's from Lachlan.
• 2:41:32
  Oh, Jesus fucking. Christ, can all of you sing Kill
• 2:41:34
  Bill by SZA together? No, but I think Malcolm might.
• 2:41:38
  Give us 2 bars. How does the song go?
• 2:41:41
  I don't know which one is kill bill.
• 2:41:43
  Fuck goodness, I don't know either.
• 2:41:46
  He's not actually going to sing it.
• 2:41:47
  Because Chris plays him on repeat.
• 2:41:49
  Chris does like Sis, though. We call her Susan.
• 2:41:52
  Susan I didn't know how to hell to say her name.
• 2:41:54
  Before she. Really.
• 2:41:55
  This is from, like, West Orange or something?
• 2:41:57
  Or East Orange? Oh, is she?
• 2:41:59
  Yeah. Susan.
• 2:42:00
  This one's from M Cuning is NJ. Oh, it's Quinn.
• 2:42:04
  Yeah, I actually met Quinn at Final Valve.
• 2:42:06
  Quinn. Yeah, he's Is he on the cool and
• 2:42:09
  good thing? No, no, no, like I thought.
• 2:42:11
  I I was about to be like, Oh my God, SL Spirit.
• 2:42:14
  Yeah, SL Spirit. Yeah.
• 2:42:16
  Is NJ really cool and good? Yeah, he's been here too.
• 2:42:21
  Has he? Quinn drove East Coast Bash
• 2:42:23
  2020. He came with Kevin, who bought a
• 2:42:26
  kit here from David Bob. Oh, OK.
• 2:42:29
  And they had and then yeah, yeah.
• 2:42:30
  I remember oh. My God, they came.
• 2:42:31
  Him and Kevin came out and then Kevin was here to buy the kit
• 2:42:35
  and then Quinn drove East Coast bash.
• 2:42:38
  Were you there? Were you there that night too?
• 2:42:40
  No, I wasn't there for that. I met the, I was there shooting
• 2:42:43
  media at the no. Yes, I was shooting media at
• 2:42:47
  what was it East Coast Bash 20/20/20 during the height of
• 2:42:51
  it? Eric always just shows up.
• 2:42:53
  I know. Because like, I'll be, I'll
• 2:42:55
  dude, I'll be here at night. No one knows I'm here.
• 2:42:57
  I'm working on my motorcycle. I go outside.
• 2:43:00
  I just see him down the street, the only light lighted lit area.
• 2:43:05
  This is true story. And he's just working on his
• 2:43:06
  bike. Something broke or some shit or
• 2:43:08
  you were just taking photos? Yeah, I was just taking a
• 2:43:09
  picture of it. I like rolling up and then I
• 2:43:12
  hear a garage door roll up and then I see him walk out and he's
• 2:43:15
  working on his bike. That was.
• 2:43:18
  What was it? The lamp across the street?
• 2:43:19
  Yeah, I always. Take one of those, the.
• 2:43:21
  U-Haul is great. You can park right up on the
• 2:43:23
  sidewalk. You got to have a well, well lit
• 2:43:25
  area to take your picture after you're done with your project.
• 2:43:28
  That's one thing. Can we just talk about well lit
• 2:43:30
  areas for a second and say because New Jersey doesn't allow
• 2:43:33
  you to pump their own gas, nobody here gets gas station
• 2:43:35
  shots? At night?
• 2:43:37
  Hell no, because they turn off all the lights they used.
• 2:43:39
  To it's so like. No, There was a period of time,
• 2:43:42
  man, where gas stations were open past 10.
• 2:43:46
  There was. And because that's when.
• 2:43:48
  Well, like wawas open 24 you. Feel like on the highway you're
• 2:43:51
  good, but yeah, off of that. You finish your project, then
• 2:43:54
  it's way later than you thought, then you go to the gas.
• 2:43:57
  Station. I love gas station shots.
• 2:43:59
  Yeah, it's the best lighting for.
• 2:44:00
  Free. I mean, I take those photos, but
• 2:44:04
  I also would attempt to pump my own gas if I was in a car like
• 2:44:07
  that, 'cause fuck people touching my car.
• 2:44:10
  But yeah, a normal car, you don't.
• 2:44:12
  You don't pump your own gas in New Jersey, ever.
• 2:44:15
  And yeah, technically it's illegal.
• 2:44:16
  Like it's unlawful because I pump my.
• 2:44:20
  Own 711 and Lynnhurst. Never, never an attendant there.
• 2:44:24
  I just always do it. Yeah, and motorcycles, of
• 2:44:26
  course. If there's no one there, I just
• 2:44:28
  get out and do it. Or if I see that there's a shit
• 2:44:30
  load of cars and I could just get this done really fast.
• 2:44:32
  Imagine getting off a fucking brand new Harley-Davidson.
• 2:44:34
  Yeah. Can you pump it for me?
• 2:44:36
  What? No, I just watch here the reason
• 2:44:40
  why I've been talking a lot about the Harley-Davidson in our
• 2:44:43
  group chat. I know what you watched.
• 2:44:45
  Yeah, I watched. I watched it.
• 2:44:46
  Harley and the Davidsons. Yeah.
• 2:44:48
  That's pretty good. That's good.
• 2:44:49
  That's good. That shit got me zooted.
• 2:44:51
  I watch. Easy Rider yet?
• 2:44:52
  Which one is that? Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper.
• 2:44:55
  There's like 3 Harley movies you gotta.
• 2:44:57
  Watch. I'm gonna watch that one next.
• 2:44:58
  Yeah, wait, Easy Rider is the is the movie The two?
• 2:45:02
  Bikes, the red bike and the all Chrome.
• 2:45:03
  Yeah, that's that's the one. Me and Malcolm found that out.
• 2:45:06
  One day? Really.
• 2:45:07
  Yeah. That's the one.
• 2:45:09
  'Cause I was explaining it. That's a Chopper movie type of
• 2:45:11
  thing. Yeah, that was like, that was
• 2:45:14
  like the movie that, like shot it into the mainstream, like
• 2:45:17
  the. That was their fast, the rough.
• 2:45:19
  And tough kind of bad boy like, you know, motorcycle thing that
• 2:45:22
  was. God, I don't think I should
• 2:45:23
  watch. That maybe I should like just.
• 2:45:24
  Want to come in here? It's.
• 2:45:25
  Honestly, at this point, it's like a good period piece about
• 2:45:28
  what counterculture was like in that time period, if that makes
• 2:45:31
  sense. Like there's scenes in the movie
• 2:45:33
  where they're just going to like eat at a place in a small town.
• 2:45:36
  And like the people in the town are like giving them shit.
• 2:45:38
  You know, the people are looking at them.
• 2:45:40
  The there's young girls there that are like, you know, batting
• 2:45:43
  their eyelids at them because they're like, who are you, you
• 2:45:44
  know, type of deal, easy ride, very, very, like like disturbing
• 2:45:49
  the peace kind of energy, you know, like that's, yeah.
• 2:45:55
  So that's I think that's Route 17 in.
• 2:45:58
  How funny is that Route 17? Are you kidding me or is it
• 2:46:00
  called 80? 17 hold on.
• 2:46:02
  It's called 87. Hold on.
• 2:46:06
  You're telling me I get. 89 maybe.
• 2:46:08
  I think it's 89. Yeah, it is.
• 2:46:10
  It is 89. So I didn't know that was a
• 2:46:13
  road, that road. That's cool.
• 2:46:15
  I have really cool. I have a lot of memories on that
• 2:46:17
  road already. I don't even like.
• 2:46:19
  I've only been to Arizona 4 * 3 or four times.
• 2:46:22
  And that road is always part of the trip because that's the road
• 2:46:27
  you you're on when you're leaving Flagstaff and going even
• 2:46:31
  more north and passing the Grand Canyon, like entrances to the
• 2:46:35
  Grand Canyon. So like that road.
• 2:46:37
  When I think of Arizona, I think of that road that's so cool.
• 2:46:39
  And then me and Malcolm were here one day and I'm like
• 2:46:41
  showing him photos from the movie and I'm like, yeah, this
• 2:46:43
  is like, you know, I showed him the video or whatever.
• 2:46:46
  And then I was like, yo, I just found out this is on that road.
• 2:46:48
  And then I'm like looking for the gas station or bar or gas
• 2:46:52
  station they stop at or something when they're on this.
• 2:46:54
  So when he has the guy, the hitchhiker, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:46:57
  And I was like, apparently this is in Arizona and I look it up
• 2:47:00
  and I'm like, that's literally on the same Rd.
• 2:47:03
  I just didn't know that. It was you didn't.
• 2:47:04
  Know it was there. It was, yeah, like that was the
• 2:47:06
  building. I was like, holy shit, that's
• 2:47:08
  kind of cool. It's pretty cool, but like,
• 2:47:10
  that's very cool. Dude, yeah, I remember like
• 2:47:12
  taking my friends there when we went, went out last time and we
• 2:47:15
  all rode and I was like this this road right here, Yo,
• 2:47:17
  Frankie for my birthday. I know a spot.
• 2:47:19
  Dude, I'll if if you're down, I will put everything aside right
• 2:47:23
  now and finish this fucking. It's not that big of a deal.
• 2:47:25
  All we have to do is just put the bikes in the back of the
• 2:47:27
  truck. We go out there, we do a bunch
• 2:47:28
  of miles. Yeah, but how's Eric going to
• 2:47:29
  come? He'll come.
• 2:47:31
  We could probably fit three bikes in March.
• 2:47:33
  You're small. What about Miyagi?
• 2:47:35
  He's not coming nowhere. Does he still have the diner?
• 2:47:38
  Yeah, OK. I mean, if we can get him to
• 2:47:40
  come, we just get EU Haul trailer like we did last time.
• 2:47:42
  We can go. Bro, easy peasy dude.
• 2:47:44
  That'd be so. Fun, dude.
• 2:47:45
  It's a fun trip, man. Dude, I just want to be.
• 2:47:48
  I just want to. Be It's not gonna be fun for
• 2:47:53
  you. Your ass is gonna be hurting.
• 2:47:55
  But. Dude, I'm gonna be fucking.
• 2:47:57
  Yours too or. It's a hard tailing, It's a
• 2:47:59
  rigid, yeah, it's a full frame. So.
• 2:48:02
  So you guys, so when you did that, you're saying it's a full
• 2:48:04
  frame, you bought the frame like that, you didn't modify it?
• 2:48:07
  Bought the frame. The problem is the hard tail
• 2:48:09
  sections that I see for my bike. I feel like they're too long by
• 2:48:12
  two inches. That's how I feel about well
• 2:48:14
  done hard tails. For and I'm like frames like.
• 2:48:17
  I wish it was a little short. Portions.
• 2:48:19
  You look at it and go no. If only I knew one glam.
• 2:48:23
  Like Ethan. Yeah, that can maybe do
• 2:48:25
  something about that he. Would probably be down.
• 2:48:27
  That's what I asked you about. About the That was about the
• 2:48:30
  bike. Oh, I thought you were talking
• 2:48:33
  about your car. Damn.
• 2:48:36
  So you're gonna have to hard tail.
• 2:48:37
  No, no, no. I just need something small just
• 2:48:39
  zapped on. That's it.
• 2:48:40
  Oh, it's not a big deal. That's all I yeah.
• 2:48:42
  Shit, Chris could do it. Carl on the other hand.
• 2:48:45
  It's a whole section. I think Ethan wouldn't be down
• 2:48:48
  just to say, because he'd probably be interested in
• 2:48:50
  putting his name on something like that.
• 2:48:52
  Saying he. Oh, I put a little badge.
• 2:48:53
  Adding it, adding it to his pro portfolio.
• 2:48:56
  Even Lazarus custom. Yeah, so he could.
• 2:48:59
  I mean, it's pretty cool if you're.
• 2:49:00
  Afraid on it you could lower back.
• 2:49:01
  Yeah, I've made a hardtail before.
• 2:49:02
  Like, yeah, that's something cool to say.
• 2:49:05
  Any more questions? Oh, shit.
• 2:49:07
  Sorry. There's a bunch.
• 2:49:08
  I I want to talk about the chopper some more because I want
• 2:49:10
  to get into that. So the last one was from Quinn.
• 2:49:14
  Hope you're doing well. Quinn.
• 2:49:15
  Alan. Kyle.
• 2:49:16
  Hi, Alan. Why the NC Big dog?
• 2:49:18
  I feel like we went over that so you could scroll back to that
• 2:49:22
  section, Allen, but this next Part 2 of the question is a good
• 2:49:26
  one. If you had to add 2 inches to
• 2:49:31
  your car height, like your wheel height, your fitment height, or
• 2:49:36
  two inches to your PP, which one would you do?
• 2:49:40
  I'm picking the obvious. Give me the height baby.
• 2:49:42
  Dude, what the fuck? My coilovers are maxed out.
• 2:49:45
  And. You'd go up higher so I could
• 2:49:47
  load up the suspension. No way you're picking that.
• 2:49:50
  No way. Don't.
• 2:49:51
  Don't feel that. Don't feel free not to answer
• 2:49:53
  that one unless you have an answer.
• 2:49:54
  Please answer. It LED 22 inches to the
• 2:49:57
  downstairs department. Yeah, of course, 'cause you
• 2:49:59
  don't want to raise your car. That's crazy.
• 2:50:01
  I'm trying to drift. Good.
• 2:50:02
  Yeah. This one's fucking Allen.
• 2:50:06
  Very cool fashion clothes. Yes.
• 2:50:08
  Liam, how tall is Eric? Good Q Are you 6 foot something?
• 2:50:12
  6 foot 2. Damn blessed fuck you.
• 2:50:16
  Very cool fashion clothes. We didn't need to know.
• 2:50:20
  It's on some Simba square cut or pie cut.
• 2:50:23
  That's crazy, bro. We're not.
• 2:50:25
  Gonna talk about this or the 6th?
• 2:50:26
  Time right now, but. Pie is pie is the way I like
• 2:50:30
  square cut. We never talked about Rosati's
• 2:50:31
  Pizza. Sicilian though that I got with
• 2:50:34
  Joshua. That's the square cut here.
• 2:50:36
  The square cut in Chicago is like, it's there's a place that
• 2:50:40
  just comes to mind, 'cause I'm growing up my mind, which one is
• 2:50:42
  it? It's called Rosati's.
• 2:50:43
  It's a chain. It's actually in Arizona, too.
• 2:50:47
  Or Las Vegas. It's a, strangely enough.
• 2:50:49
  What is that pizza like? Thin crispy crust and then it's
• 2:50:54
  like cross hatched. They cut the whole pie in lines.
• 2:50:58
  Oh, it's like a Domino's when I order a thin crust and I like.
• 2:51:01
  Sicilian pizza is fucking. Good because sometimes with with
• 2:51:04
  with Rosati's like because the crust is so crunchy you just
• 2:51:07
  want to eat the middle squares and you don't have to eat crust.
• 2:51:10
  But I but if it's a crunchy crust, I want to get some of
• 2:51:13
  that crunchy. Yeah, it's you have the option,
• 2:51:16
  yeah. I would try it.
• 2:51:18
  I also Rosati's. I thought when you said square
• 2:51:21
  cut and chain, I was immediately like so lasagna.
• 2:51:24
  It's not like a chain, you know what I mean?
• 2:51:26
  Like a local chain. Yeah.
• 2:51:27
  Yeah, yeah. That makes.
• 2:51:28
  Sense. OK, this one's Lauren.
• 2:51:32
  I think this is your Lauren repose.
• 2:51:34
  Repose. Oh my God, I fucked that up
• 2:51:36
  asking about cool and good We we already been asked Lauren, that
• 2:51:40
  was about 2 1/2. Ago.
• 2:51:41
  No. She was one of the first
• 2:51:43
  questions though, I think. Mark Tupas.
• 2:51:45
  Yes. Midwest drift scene versus East
• 2:51:47
  Coast drift scene PS We miss you, Eric.
• 2:51:49
  Oh, I like Smart East versus Midwest.
• 2:51:53
  Yeah, in what? Drift scene.
• 2:51:55
  That's what it says. As yeah so specifically Drift
• 2:51:57
  Scene Midwest, Midwest. Damn.
• 2:52:00
  What? I mean, I I totally I I I see
• 2:52:04
  it. But.
• 2:52:05
  But that's just what I was, you know, into.
• 2:52:07
  That's what I was. That's what I came into.
• 2:52:09
  I agree. I mean, that's another drift
• 2:52:11
  scene. But I feel like this past year
• 2:52:13
  for me. But here's but.
• 2:52:14
  I was able to like, experience the East Coast drift scene and
• 2:52:17
  now I just, I'm like, damn, this is like our community here.
• 2:52:21
  Yeah, I mean, I haven't drifted here yet.
• 2:52:23
  So I'd be pressed if I didn't say like the East Coast one, but
• 2:52:26
  yeah, once you drift here, I feel like.
• 2:52:28
  I do feel like being at Thompson.
• 2:52:30
  Thompson does feel like a lot like US Air, like in the overall
• 2:52:33
  the vibe. Yeah, I do feel that way too it.
• 2:52:35
  Kind is. Not only been there once.
• 2:52:37
  A little more loosely, not loosely run, but yeah, less than
• 2:52:41
  club Loose, not to say. Anything strict rules?
• 2:52:44
  Yeah, less strict rules. Yeah, it there is something
• 2:52:47
  about that track that feels like US air.
• 2:52:49
  But I feel like it's still strict though don't think it's
• 2:52:52
  like loose like it's super strict.
• 2:52:53
  Loosey goosey. No, they they shake your wheels
• 2:52:57
  and everything that's that's. Yeah, I heard it's pretty crazy.
• 2:53:00
  It's really. They actually have a Really,
• 2:53:02
  that's the next thing I have to worry about is passing tech.
• 2:53:04
  You'll you'll pass tech. Dude, you're you're probably a
• 2:53:08
  person. I wouldn't be concerned about
• 2:53:09
  passing tech. Hopefully.
• 2:53:10
  I was reading for the parking lot in Englishtown.
• 2:53:12
  You don't even need a cage if you have factory rollover
• 2:53:14
  protection, which I do, but I still would like to get an
• 2:53:18
  actual roll bar with some horizontals in it.
• 2:53:21
  I too would like if you got that.
• 2:53:24
  No, I have to. I have to.
• 2:53:26
  Yeah, that way you could drift anywhere.
• 2:53:27
  That looks cooler. Without it, though, you're
• 2:53:29
  crazy. This one's from Tucker Maxim.
• 2:53:34
  What's your gear and what made you decide to pick that gear
• 2:53:36
  specifically perfect? OK, I shoot with a Canon 6D
• 2:53:42
  which is like a very entry. It's like the cheapest full
• 2:53:45
  frame camera you can buy cuz I was on a budget.
• 2:53:51
  Yeah, like I said, budget related.
• 2:53:53
  And I'll speak to the fact that before that camera I was
• 2:53:57
  shooting on a Canon T3I like all those photos.
• 2:54:00
  It's a kit one. All those photos at final Bell
• 2:54:02
  Gallery are at three. I wow, yeah, but lens.
• 2:54:06
  The lens is what matters. Yeah.
• 2:54:09
  So eventually I'd like to get a 5D Mark 3, Mark 4, you know,
• 2:54:14
  that's I think a Mark 4 nowadays used as like $1800.
• 2:54:18
  You know, it's a bit of an investment, especially at this
• 2:54:21
  point in my life where I'd I'd like to go back to drifting.
• 2:54:24
  You know, I have gear that works for me.
• 2:54:26
  You know I have what I think is more important, which is good
• 2:54:30
  lenses. Everyone you know, whether
• 2:54:32
  you're just starting out or not, put money into your lenses.
• 2:54:35
  And the because the the smaller camera bodies, the crop sensor
• 2:54:38
  camera bodies will work with the full frame lenses.
• 2:54:41
  So build your glass and then build up to a more expensive
• 2:54:45
  body. Sounds like good advice.
• 2:54:48
  This one is. Crown of a nerd.
• 2:54:51
  That's that's cool. Just been doing it a while.
• 2:54:53
  Yeah. He intelligent, Yeah, he
• 2:54:56
  intelligent and shit. This is from Fuck Me Up Fuck Me
• 2:55:00
  Up fam Shout oven. How useful are metal zip ties?
• 2:55:04
  Why is he asking specifically? About metal zip ties.
• 2:55:07
  Yes. Oh.
• 2:55:09
  So when? Metal ones are useful, I'm not
• 2:55:11
  going to lie. When we were driving up for
• 2:55:13
  Gallery, he had a an S13 coupe at the time and the exhaust fell
• 2:55:19
  off about four times on the way there.
• 2:55:23
  And we're convoying at this point, it's it's like him, me
• 2:55:26
  and like two other cars and we hit like Milwaukee and they're
• 2:55:30
  always doing fucking road construction in Milwaukee.
• 2:55:32
  So we're. Been doing that since 19 O 6.
• 2:55:34
  We're hitting fucking, you know, Blue Shells on the way and just.
• 2:55:39
  Blue. Shells, you know?
• 2:55:40
  And then he's ahead of us and I just see a shower of sparks
• 2:55:43
  hitting me, so we have to pull over, pent the exhaust back up.
• 2:55:47
  Metal zip ties too, because the the hanger rib you.
• 2:55:50
  Had those? I I think I might have had them
• 2:55:53
  with me. Jeez, that's like strictly
• 2:55:55
  exhaust. Type.
• 2:55:56
  Yeah, that's once. You said once I thought about
• 2:56:00
  what I would use it for. In my head, I'm like something
• 2:56:02
  that probably wouldn't melt. Something that gets hot.
• 2:56:04
  Yeah. Damn.
• 2:56:06
  And then at one point when we were like 20 minutes from the
• 2:56:09
  track, it broke off again and he just drove it to the to the
• 2:56:13
  hotel, just sparking on the ground.
• 2:56:14
  It's like I'll worry about it tomorrow.
• 2:56:16
  That's how people crack manifolds.
• 2:56:21
  This is so. That was from Fuck Me Up Fam.
• 2:56:24
  His name's Vin. Vin lives in the big Connor.
• 2:56:27
  Lives in the Bay Area. Who's Connor Croak?
• 2:56:30
  And are you serious? I'm just kidding.
• 2:56:34
  Wait, he lives in a Green Bay area?
• 2:56:36
  No, Vin is originally from the Chicago area, but he lives in
• 2:56:39
  the Bay Area, like California, like California Bay Area.
• 2:56:42
  That's cool. You were really out here
• 2:56:44
  associating with Green Bay 'cause he's cause of, basically.
• 2:56:46
  I thought he lived in that area, but so?
• 2:56:49
  He born and raised in that in our like in the Chicagoland.
• 2:56:51
  Area. Is he still dragging exhaust?
• 2:56:53
  Everywhere. No, he got rid of that car.
• 2:56:54
  He's got a sorer now, and I think he's building a coupe,
• 2:56:58
  maybe. He actually recently got rid of
• 2:57:01
  his coupe that he had in Illinois to the guy in Dewalkin
• 2:57:04
  who had his car totaled. Oh, shit, Al.
• 2:57:07
  Yeah. Well, yeah.
• 2:57:08
  Well, that's. Perfect.
• 2:57:10
  He sold it to him, I think, is what I saw.
• 2:57:12
  And then I think Vin has a car in California that he's working
• 2:57:15
  on. Good for Al.
• 2:57:17
  I'm. I'm glad that that worked out
• 2:57:18
  for him. Yeah.
• 2:57:20
  So what does neon taste like? Which is what Connor's asking.
• 2:57:23
  It's a valid ask question. I love Connor for that, like.
• 2:57:27
  The other the thing about Neon 2 is I actually did it like I
• 2:57:31
  actually got to bend and do it all.
• 2:57:33
  That's sick. How do you bend that?
• 2:57:34
  There's a guy in Lyndhurst that has a neon sign company.
• 2:57:37
  He does workshops. Is it like glassblowing?
• 2:57:40
  It's, I mean it's similar in that sense, but you're not you
• 2:57:43
  you have like one of the ends corked and you have like a a
• 2:57:46
  mouthpiece and you like as you bend the glass, you kind of blow
• 2:57:49
  into it to let the glass stay in shape.
• 2:57:51
  And you have it on a flame. Yeah, yeah, it's it's basically
• 2:57:54
  glassblowing. Glassblowing is very similar to
• 2:57:56
  Neon 2 bending. I didn't even know that there
• 2:58:00
  was a literal like below that, yeah.
• 2:58:03
  That's how they do it, yeah. They heat it up under, like
• 2:58:05
  usually it's a burner that has 22 spots.
• 2:58:08
  So you you take the glass and you rotate it and you heat it
• 2:58:11
  evenly and you have a pair of glasses on that you can kind of
• 2:58:13
  see when the glass gets. This is literally wags blowing.
• 2:58:16
  Glass. Yeah.
• 2:58:17
  No, it sounds it sounds like it, yeah.
• 2:58:19
  It's the same shit, dude. Like, it's crazy.
• 2:58:21
  And then you get it hot enough to bend and then you usually
• 2:58:24
  have like a template on the table and you put it out on the
• 2:58:27
  table and you you know, you bend it, bend it, you know as it's
• 2:58:30
  cooling, you get less of a chance to get it where you want
• 2:58:33
  it. And then if you wait too long.
• 2:58:35
  Yeah. Shit just shatters.
• 2:58:37
  Yeah, it'll just. It'll just break.
• 2:58:39
  It's very difficult, but it was a very rewarding and I have the
• 2:58:42
  sign up in my in my living room. What does it say?
• 2:58:45
  It's just squiggly lines. Oh, I wanted to say.
• 2:58:48
  Cool and good. Connor also asked.
• 2:58:52
  How is he so handsome? I've been trying to figure out
• 2:58:54
  that out this whole episode. That's crazy.
• 2:58:57
  It's the. It's the fit.
• 2:58:58
  To be honest with you, is. It because it's a faction
• 2:59:00
  uniform he's always got. His shirts tucked in, if you
• 2:59:04
  ever noticed. Shirts tucked in like a chopper
• 2:59:06
  guy? Yep.
• 2:59:07
  He was a chopper guy before he had a chopper like this is
• 2:59:11
  always like that. I'll grow into it.
• 2:59:14
  Going to roll your sleeves up. Dude, when we go for that
• 2:59:18
  birthday trip, I'm serious, bro. Let's do it.
• 2:59:20
  I'm so down. I'll save all my PTO just for
• 2:59:23
  maybe just like a portion of it. Oh.
• 2:59:26
  But bro a week. Maybe 165 days.
• 2:59:31
  This one's from differential Leo.
• 2:59:34
  What up, Leo? Legend has it that Eric is both
• 2:59:36
  cool and good. The facts, I would agree.
• 2:59:39
  Yep. Missy Leo.
• 2:59:41
  This one's from Josh Tupas. Driver or photographer?
• 2:59:45
  First, pick one driver, yeah? We all knew where that was, OK?
• 2:59:49
  Damn, that was fast. Hey good.
• 2:59:52
  He also asks long term plans with the new NCUSARE town, Red
• 2:59:58
  or dead question mark. Yeah, he actually just got a
• 3:00:03
  180. Sorry.
• 3:00:05
  The right car. And actually CA powered though.
• 3:00:09
  Still the right car. It's.
• 3:00:11
  Crazy long term plans basically recreate what I had, which is
• 3:00:18
  pretty simple. Red, maybe.
• 3:00:21
  Red. Silver is, I kind of like the
• 3:00:24
  silver I like. Silver I do like the silver and.
• 3:00:26
  It's but the the nice thing too about a silver car is if you do
• 3:00:29
  paint it, you can go any. You don't have to paint the Bay
• 3:00:32
  just, oh, it's a silver engine Bay.
• 3:00:33
  Pretty. Oh shit.
• 3:00:34
  No. Like every every 180.
• 3:00:36
  I saw pictures in Japan. Always.
• 3:00:38
  Silver Engine Bay. Yep.
• 3:00:40
  I wonder why Frankie painted his.
• 3:00:41
  That's the key. Well, you know the reason It's.
• 3:00:44
  It's so you could find leaks. Hell yeah.
• 3:00:47
  Like it's essentially what that was for.
• 3:00:49
  Don't do white, though, because that shit.
• 3:00:51
  Looks. I saw a guy, I saw a guy back in
• 3:00:53
  the day painted the underside of his 240 white and everyone
• 3:00:55
  clowned him for it. But in my head, I'm like, that's
• 3:00:57
  a smart idea. No, that's but I would, but I
• 3:00:59
  wouldn't do it but like. Justin had his engine Bay white.
• 3:01:02
  That shit looked like shit all the time.
• 3:01:04
  You go off once it eats him. Yeah, that's.
• 3:01:08
  What else we got? This one is, how does it feel to
• 3:01:11
  be the most hand? Oh ha.
• 3:01:15
  There's a hand emoji. Handsome member of cool and
• 3:01:17
  good. Everybody knows your hands.
• 3:01:18
  Who is it? Who is it?
• 3:01:19
  That's also from Josh too. But this one's a this one's a
• 3:01:24
  good one. Right here, my homies.
• 3:01:26
  Actually, I'll save that one for last.
• 3:01:28
  Zuvir, if each of you were a candy cane, what flavors would
• 3:01:32
  you be? Isn't there one flavor a candy
• 3:01:33
  cane? A candy cane is supposed to be
• 3:01:35
  minty and that is it. They make different flavor
• 3:01:38
  candy. Cane, I don't think so.
• 3:01:39
  Yeah, like Starburst ones and stuff.
• 3:01:41
  Like, oh, they do. Actually.
• 3:01:42
  Yeah, they do. I'm the OG one.
• 3:01:44
  Yeah, they got a peppermint. Yeah, peppermint.
• 3:01:47
  That's how I know a candy cane to be.
• 3:01:49
  And then you turn them into a point, and then you pretend.
• 3:01:52
  To stab somebody. Yeah, this one's our final
• 3:01:56
  question of the night from our friend Johnny.
• 3:01:58
  Mr. Big Wine Mr. Wine Big Fan How does it feel to be living in
• 3:02:04
  the greatest? State of the US.
• 3:02:06
  Amen. It is great.
• 3:02:09
  I do enjoy it. It's a weird thing.
• 3:02:10
  I really do. I know I.
• 3:02:12
  We got everything weirdly like in a small.
• 3:02:14
  Area you can drive an hour in. Every direction is different.
• 3:02:17
  Yo, that's facts though, actually.
• 3:02:20
  Yup. Talk to him, Eric.
• 3:02:22
  Come on. People are listening.
• 3:02:23
  Come to New Jersey. Come visit.
• 3:02:26
  Click some people off. Keyword visit.
• 3:02:30
  You go an hour S you got. Forest or the forest?
• 3:02:34
  Oh. No, you got to crazy shit.
• 3:02:35
  You go South. An hour S you get the beach.
• 3:02:37
  Another hour after that you got forests too, in addition.
• 3:02:41
  A A makeshift desert in the Pine Barren.
• 3:02:45
  It's true. Happened.
• 3:02:45
  That day, it's true. I felt like I was like, where am
• 3:02:48
  I? Oh, the where I took.
• 3:02:49
  Yeah, yeah, I felt like fucking. Dude, I used to quad down there
• 3:02:52
  when I was gone. Like, literally.
• 3:02:54
  It had to be that spot. You can do.
• 3:02:55
  Whatever you want. Everyone gets in trouble, yo.
• 3:02:57
  You want to wheel the forward? I would let.
• 3:02:59
  Me know we like we're randomly down.
• 3:03:00
  We were meeting up one of Lauren's friends.
• 3:03:02
  He's a photographer. He was going to shoot somewhere.
• 3:03:04
  He knew some routes. He works for the State Park.
• 3:03:06
  So he's the guy. And I was like let's just turn
• 3:03:09
  down this road this Sandy Rd. Let's do it.
• 3:03:12
  And I went. I went through like a water
• 3:03:13
  hole. I was like truck kind of
• 3:03:15
  struggled let's go back on the road.
• 3:03:17
  I'm by my fucking self down here and I don't know that many
• 3:03:20
  people here. Ethan found a hole too.
• 3:03:24
  I'll talk about that one right in it.
• 3:03:27
  Dude, Ethan. And made it home.
• 3:03:30
  Yeah, you were. I I saw what had happened,
• 3:03:34
  though. That was what had happened was.
• 3:03:37
  He fucking sent. That sent her a little too hard.
• 3:03:39
  But he sent her a little too hard.
• 3:03:41
  But, but I mean, that's a fun activity.
• 3:03:44
  Yeah, do it. So that's South, then N you got
• 3:03:46
  the mountains. Yeah, you go an hour, you got.
• 3:03:48
  I mean, obviously this is New York, we're talking, but
• 3:03:50
  literally New York border right up here.
• 3:03:52
  We always go hiking over there. So you got that?
• 3:03:55
  You got the greatest city in the world right to the east of you.
• 3:03:58
  Yeah, that's the other hour that way east.
• 3:04:02
  I mean, if you count on it from, yeah, so you're talking like in
• 3:04:05
  the in if you're coming from like the middle of New Jersey or
• 3:04:07
  something, it's like 1/2 hour in everything.
• 3:04:09
  From where we are. Right now, that's true.
• 3:04:12
  I'm relating it to us where we are right now, so 30 minutes to
• 3:04:15
  New York. Not even. 303540 minutes here at
• 3:04:19
  Harriman You got hiking all galore if you want.
• 3:04:23
  Then you got an hour and a half or an hour and what?
• 3:04:27
  You're in Asbury? So you got the beach an hour or
• 3:04:29
  less? Yeah.
• 3:04:30
  So you got Asbury, then you go another 30 minutes or so, 40
• 3:04:33
  minutes from there? You're in like Atlantic City.
• 3:04:35
  Pine Barony era area? Yeah, you've got Atlantic City
• 3:04:38
  May if you want. May is beautiful.
• 3:04:40
  May is so fucking different than anything.
• 3:04:42
  They're stuck in the past in a good way.
• 3:04:43
  Yeah, they still have mom and pop stores that support each
• 3:04:46
  other there. It's really cool, yeah.
• 3:04:48
  Just don't cross the Delaware. You'll be all right.
• 3:04:50
  All right. And that was it.
• 3:04:51
  That was it. I thought there was more
• 3:04:53
  question at the top. There is one at the top.
• 3:04:56
  Oh yeah. Did you skip that one?
• 3:04:57
  Yeah. Okay, I guess I'll read it
• 3:04:59
  because you skipped it. It was weird.
• 3:05:00
  It was like you were scared about it.
• 3:05:02
  The Beastie Boy asks if Frankie and Carl had to fight each other
• 3:05:06
  with one arm tied behind their back, who would win?
• 3:05:08
  I think Frankie would win because he just knows probably a
• 3:05:11
  technique of how to kill me. You guys should get in his car
• 3:05:15
  and fight in the car. That's a good idea.
• 3:05:17
  Car. Boxing.
• 3:05:17
  Yeah, you've seen that right. I thought that that.
• 3:05:19
  You've seen phone book boxing. That's a thing.
• 3:05:22
  Phone booth. Boxing Phone booth.
• 3:05:23
  That's a phone. Book dude, that's crazy.
• 3:05:25
  Like the red phone booths in London.
• 3:05:28
  Yeah, if if I were to fight somebody, I need all my limbs.
• 3:05:31
  Because some some tips from Alex Avila, he's been coming in here
• 3:05:34
  once in a while doing. I bet that's exactly why I would
• 3:05:36
  be afraid of that. Yeah, but if I had all my limbs
• 3:05:38
  and maybe that day I couldn't get something done or I had a
• 3:05:41
  really bad day, all hell breaking loose.
• 3:05:44
  Him and Malcolm were rolling in here the other day.
• 3:05:47
  What That's what they call it. Rolling Jiu jitsu.
• 3:05:49
  Yeah, yeah. Were we?
• 3:05:51
  Malcolm and Alex of Village oh. OK, I was going to say.
• 3:05:54
  Not me. It was getting weird.
• 3:05:56
  Of my one college roommate who was a fucking crackhead, came
• 3:05:59
  home from, like MMA Club once and was like.
• 3:06:01
  Yo, let me show you how some of the.
• 3:06:03
  Shit, I said come down here, bro.
• 3:06:05
  And I was like, down here. Nah, man, I'm.
• 3:06:06
  Cool. And he's like, dude, no, I'll,
• 3:06:08
  I'll be really easy on you, dude.
• 3:06:10
  And then I'm like. And then there's like a weird
• 3:06:12
  disassociation that happens. Yeah.
• 3:06:14
  And then all of a sudden it's like hits.
• 3:06:16
  Your shoulder. And I'm sitting there and.
• 3:06:18
  I'm yeah, and it's all fun and games until you got your arm in
• 3:06:21
  that arm lock and you're like, oh fuck, this could just pop
• 3:06:24
  out. Yeah, an armbar.
• 3:06:25
  Yeah. You're like, can you not do
• 3:06:26
  that, that, Yeah. I thought you were talking about
• 3:06:29
  this one from Jamie E30. This Mooks E36.
• 3:06:32
  I don't know what any of that name.
• 3:06:35
  That's why I don't read them. Fuck.
• 3:06:37
  Marry, kill, Frankie, Malcolm, Carl.
• 3:06:39
  I'm so glad you skipped that one.
• 3:06:40
  Fuck why did. You but you wanted to skip the
• 3:06:42
  arm. You got mad that I skipped,
• 3:06:44
  tying arm behind the. Back.
• 3:06:45
  All right, Eric. Fuck.
• 3:06:46
  Marry. Kill.
• 3:06:47
  Good luck. I know you're fucking me, so
• 3:06:50
  let's get that. That's crazy.
• 3:06:51
  Please don't answer it. Fuck.
• 3:06:53
  Marry, kill, Frankie, Malcolm and Carl.
• 3:06:55
  I would personally kill me. Why'd the music just go on?
• 3:07:00
  Thank. You guys so much for listening.

  You're in. Put me back in.
• 3:07:05
  Put me back in. Put me back in.
• 3:07:06
  Coach, Thank you guys so much for listening.
• 3:07:08
  I'm not going to close this episode without thinking.
• 3:07:09
  Everybody, thank you so much, Malcolm.
• 3:07:10
  Cut the Put, put the music back on.
• 3:07:13
  Can I say one thing? Can I say one?
• 3:07:14
  Thing Yes, yes, please. For anybody out there getting
• 3:07:18
  into photography, just remember you don't have to have the most
• 3:07:21
  expensive shit to take pictures. Take beautiful, take pictures
• 3:07:25
  with what you can afford to do. There's plenty of nice stuff out
• 3:07:29
  there for a relatively affordable price.
• 3:07:31
  You don't need the most expensive stuff.
• 3:07:33
  Make it work for you. Just get it going.
• 3:07:35
  Just shoot. Just go out and take.
• 3:07:37
  Pictures and make sure to keep your eye out for Eric's photos
• 3:07:39
  when they come out. Yeah, those those photos were
• 3:07:42
  fucking. Crazy.
• 3:07:43
  Should post more. And you get it for free.
• 3:07:45
  I have too many, yeah. Can you post a photo tonight?
• 3:07:49
  OK. All right.
• 3:07:49
  Thanks. What the fuck I.
• 3:07:50
  Just want you to post one of those photos that you said that
• 3:07:52
  they don't even know that it exists.
• 3:07:54
  Like what? All right, guys.
• 3:07:56
  Thank you guys so much for listening.
• 3:07:58
  Peace out, Malcolm. Really.
• 3:08:03
  Cut us. Off.
• 3:08:09
  Had to cut you guys off at the end right there.
• 3:08:11
  Yeah, what the fuck was that? I was not letting him answer
• 3:08:15
  that question. OK.
• 3:08:18
  I was hoping Carl wasn't going to read that question, but I
• 3:08:21
  guess he. Well, you showed, you know, you
• 3:08:23
  showed the amount of power you have over the show.
• 3:08:26
  So that was a cool show of force.
• 3:08:28
  Yeah. Yeah, you could just end it
• 3:08:29
  whenever. Pretty crazy.
• 3:08:33
  Well, that was fun. Yeah, really cool.
• 3:08:34
  Thanks, Eric, for coming, hanging out, sharing your car
• 3:08:39
  history with us, Your drifting history.
• 3:08:41
  He's cool and good. Cool and good.
• 3:08:44
  He's cool and good podcast. Dude, honestly, I think it's
• 3:08:47
  photography is some of my favorite photography I.
• 3:08:52
  Feel like it gives that nostalgia.
• 3:08:56
  Yeah, Aura, That, and I'm gonna say it again, OK.
• 3:09:00
  The movement, the movement, I can sense it.
• 3:09:03
  There's movement in the photos, but they're not like very, you
• 3:09:07
  know, some people like. The freaking lights all over the
• 3:09:10
  place. Or like, move the camera and you
• 3:09:11
  get like real blurry in the background and you're like,
• 3:09:13
  yeah, this is moving. It's not like that.
• 3:09:16
  It's like very subtle. So I appreciate that.
• 3:09:19
  I thought it was cool. I feel like that was the first
• 3:09:21
  real photography podcast we did. Yeah, we really tried to dive
• 3:09:25
  deep in all the the details in it, what goes through it.
• 3:09:29
  You know, when Connor was here, we kind of just talked about
• 3:09:32
  aliens and skateboarding and. That's still sick.
• 3:09:35
  Yeah, hopefully we can do a podcast with with Eric and
• 3:09:38
  Connor. I think that would be good
• 3:09:39
  because I feel like they're Connor's a staple in the East
• 3:09:43
  Coast drift community and Eric's more of Midwest.
• 3:09:47
  So maybe, I don't know, might be good.
• 3:09:49
  Two different styles maybe? If you guys didn't already know,
• 3:09:53
  we have a Patreon account. We just put up a new post on
• 3:09:57
  there yesterday, a little podcast that we do separately
• 3:10:00
  called Under the Hood. You can check this preview out
• 3:10:04
  on our regular podcast Streaming.
• 3:10:09
  Yeah. Apps.
• 3:10:09
  Whatever the hell you want to call them.
• 3:10:10
  The playlist, whatever. Yeah, so you can check a little
• 3:10:12
  preview of that out. We have three episodes so far.
• 3:10:15
  Me and Malcolm Just do these at random, usually once once a
• 3:10:17
  month. We're trying to do once a month.
• 3:10:21
  So yeah, check out our our Patreon.
• 3:10:23
  If you sign up, there's two different tiers.
• 3:10:25
  Our first tier is $5 a month, second tier is $15.00 a month.
• 3:10:28
  So the second tier you basically anytime we drop merch, you'll
• 3:10:31
  get something from the merch pack.
• 3:10:33
  Like you'll get a shirt you'll get If it's just stickers,
• 3:10:36
  possibly just stickers, possibly a hoodie.
• 3:10:39
  That's happened before, so at least I think it did.
• 3:10:42
  Maybe it didn't but we got some cool merch planned, so you might
• 3:10:46
  want to jump in that when you can.
• 3:10:48
  What else we got going on? I mean I'm looking at the
• 3:10:50
  website, we we added some stuff, we got Mozworks slash Apexi head
• 3:10:53
  gaskets. I want to say those are probably
• 3:10:55
  the best head gaskets you can get.
• 3:10:57
  OK, so we got those on there now we got the gritty, easy
• 3:11:01
  camshafts in stock. That's always good.
• 3:11:05
  Yeah, the new gritty camshafts. If you listen to our Patreon
• 3:11:09
  podcast, we just did. We we do a little bit of a deep
• 3:11:11
  dive into these camshafts. We we talk about who makes them
• 3:11:13
  and and basically why you should go with these.
• 3:11:17
  But these Cam shafts are really designed for pretty pretty much
• 3:11:20
  like the most drop in friendly stock turbo Cam shafts on the
• 3:11:24
  market right now. So if you just have a regular
• 3:11:26
  SR20 and you want to get a little boost in power in the mid
• 3:11:30
  range, you just buy these cams, you drop them in and that's it.
• 3:11:34
  So pretty easy. What else we got in there?
• 3:11:38
  Oh, I see you added some J replace parts.
• 3:11:42
  Yeah, what is it? The water pump is that the water
• 3:11:46
  pump, power steering pump, power steering pump and one other one
• 3:11:50
  I think. You I don't even see the power
• 3:11:52
  steering pump, but I think you did add it.
• 3:11:54
  But I see the power steering rack, so they offer a rack.
• 3:11:58
  Did that. J replace OE style engine and
• 3:12:04
  trans mount, so they got replacement engine and trans
• 3:12:06
  mount. Yeah.
• 3:12:07
  So this brand just makes OE replacements basically for a
• 3:12:11
  little bit more of an affordable price.
• 3:12:13
  I want to say it's in Juku racing that's that's behind this
• 3:12:16
  brand, but I can't say that for sure.
• 3:12:17
  They seem to endorse it quite a bit.
• 3:12:19
  So I have a feeling just like ISR that they're doing J
• 3:12:22
  replace. Yeah, I can't prove that yet,
• 3:12:25
  but yeah, that's my theory. See, as far as steering racks,
• 3:12:29
  we, I mean you got the J replace one, but we also.
• 3:12:31
  Have K fab K fab steering racks. People have been buying a lot of
• 3:12:35
  K fab racks and I have not heard one complaint.
• 3:12:38
  So take that. For what it's worth, I'd
• 3:12:41
  probably grab a KFAB one. We also added some Cusco
• 3:12:46
  steering rack braces for VRZ and.
• 3:12:51
  FRS. FRS80.
• 3:12:52
  Six. Those are pretty cool.
• 3:12:54
  Yeah. So these braces, I think they
• 3:12:55
  brace the steering rack to the chassis.
• 3:12:58
  Something along those lines, I don't know.
• 3:12:59
  They seem cool. They're made by Cusco.
• 3:13:01
  I just wanted to stock them. So yeah, got those.
• 3:13:05
  And yeah, that that pretty much covers the new parts.
• 3:13:07
  Oh, the gritty Momo steering wheel.
• 3:13:10
  Yes, those are special order, but they are pretty sick.
• 3:13:13
  And they're $460. That's not that's not bad.
• 3:13:17
  That's probably a few bucks over a nerdy wheel.
• 3:13:21
  A. Few bucks over a nerdy wheel and
• 3:13:23
  these might be limited release and I have seen these in person
• 3:13:26
  at SEMA and. They were nice.
• 3:13:28
  I really like that steering wheel, so.
• 3:13:30
  They're very nice. Yeah.
• 3:13:31
  You should get one of them. I should if I had a car.
• 3:13:34
  OK. Yeah, if I had a car worth
• 3:13:36
  worthy of that. I don't know if they fit
• 3:13:38
  Silverados. Oh, OK.
• 3:13:42
  Also, one last thing, we have a bunch of coilovers in stock at
• 3:13:46
  the moment. Yes, we have S13 BC Racing
• 3:13:50
  Coilovers, FRSBC Racing Coilovers and S 1415, right?
• 3:13:57
  Yeah, S 1415 and 350Z, the Z, yeah, through the Z and then we
• 3:14:02
  do have stance coilovers coming in South 1314 XR one coilovers.
• 3:14:07
  So basically we got we got you covered on coilovers.
• 3:14:10
  If you need coilovers, hit us up.
• 3:14:12
  We're trying to get rid of these.
• 3:14:13
  We have no room in the shop for these.
• 3:14:15
  I just. We'll beat, we'll beat the other
• 3:14:17
  prices. You think right.
• 3:14:19
  On BC Racing, who knows 'cause they probably put that shit on
• 3:14:22
  Amazon or something, but. OK.
• 3:14:23
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 3:14:24
  Yeah, we we sell things for what the manufacturer wants us to
• 3:14:26
  sell them. For we have competitive pricing,
• 3:14:28
  we'll say that. Yeah, I I can't.
• 3:14:30
  I can't sell shit under. Yeah.
• 3:14:33
  'Cause then we're not. Bezos.
• 3:14:34
  We're not Bezos. Well, we get kicked off.
• 3:14:36
  Yeah. Off the off the from the vendor.
• 3:14:39
  The vendor won't let us sell it under a certain price and if you
• 3:14:41
  do do that then you're not allowed to sell them anymore.
• 3:14:43
  So people on Amazon, the reason they get away with that stuff is
• 3:14:46
  because they make. They basically make, I don't
• 3:14:49
  even know what to call them. They're just companies that have
• 3:14:52
  no value and they just put the coil over and then they get
• 3:14:55
  banned and then they make another one and they put it up.
• 3:14:59
  It's like a shell company, literally.
• 3:15:02
  So, but yeah, I don't, I don't think there's too many companies
• 3:15:06
  doing that shit right now with BC coilovers.
• 3:15:07
  I think you find them for the same price everywhere, but also
• 3:15:10
  we can install them here. So keep that in mind.
• 3:15:13
