- 0:55He deployed. That's awesome, man.
- 0:58What's that the figure is of the deployment for that one.
- 1:00It's like you travel 5000 nautical miles on ship and I did
- 1:06that like it like over 10. So I got.
- 1:08Two, you did over 10,000. Yeah, that's because that's the
- 1:11ship was. Broken.
- 1:14Oh, so you're stuck on it? Yeah.
- 1:17It had one propeller. It had one propeller, right?
- 1:20Yeah, it's like 1 engine was working. 11.
- 1:24So it took you twice as long to get to where you were going?
- 1:27No, it was just. It just took forever.
- 1:29Yeah, why? You were supposed you were
- 1:30supposed to be out there for how long originally was it like 3
- 1:35months? Ended up being like 6 it.
- 1:37Was like it was supposed to be 3, ended up being 4.
- 1:39Yeah, so an extra month at sea. Where were you?
- 1:44What ocean? The one that's blue?
- 1:51The one by Australia or by Chan Japan?
- 1:54Super well, we were in. I'm going to guess the Indian
- 1:57Ocean. Let.
- 1:59Me see, you got to pull up my handy dandy map.
- 2:08Where the hell is Australia at? Australia, It's Dan Enda.
- 2:11It's Dan Enda. The Tan Enda.
- 2:14Dan Enda. The Tasman Sea, Coral Sea,
- 2:17Solomon Sea, Bismarck Sea, Philippine Sea and then East
- 2:23China Sea and then the Pacific Mumbai.
- 2:28And then the Gulf of America. No, I have a hat that.
- 2:32Said I saw the Trump thing, the Trump Trump they put on the
- 2:36Giants page about your tweet. You said that Trump did.
- 2:38But yeah, I. Didn't.
- 2:38That's hilarious. Yeah.
- 2:40And then and then I was like, that's bullshit.
- 2:41But yeah, Trump, actually. Well, there's so much AI shit
- 2:45out there now. It's like, what do you believe
- 2:47and not believe? But yeah.
- 2:49Yeah. That one turned out to be true.
- 2:51You know, giants, you have cooked.
- 2:53Get the microphone. Get the microphone.
- 2:55You know, giants didn't go put on 3rd down.
- 2:57They they just now just absolutely embarrassing.
- 2:59They should have just took the points and so they lost it over
- 3:02time. Absolute disappointment.
- 3:05Never never trust them that organization ever again.
- 3:07Yeah, no, no, no disappointment. So China, right?
- 3:13They coach the New York Giants. OK, It's what it seems like now.
- 3:18That was great dude, I loved. It Malik Malik neighbors threw
- 3:23him under the bus. He's like in his in his in his
- 3:26attempt to be a speaking English, but he's like he's
- 3:30like, I swear that there's sabotage.
- 3:33There's just they just want us to lose.
- 3:34How do you how do you get 2 turnovers and you're up by this
- 3:38and then you end up running the ball twice and just lose the
- 3:40game. It's like, it's like they want
- 3:41us to lose. Exactly.
- 3:43That's what it seems like sometimes.
- 3:45Yeah, yeah, absolutely. It's ridiculous.
- 3:50We've been talking recently about how gambling has
- 3:53influenced the NFL. Jake, have you heard anything?
- 3:57Vegas, always. Won about like.
- 4:01Vegas, always. Won.
- 4:01I'm finding that out here. Yeah.
- 4:04Here's one thing I noticed. Do you do online sports betting
- 4:07at all? Absolutely I do.
- 4:11OK, I thought so and I didn't know if you were allowed to say
- 4:14so I was giving you the opportunity to say I have to
- 4:17take the 5th. But anyway, have you noticed
- 4:20that if there is like more than 60 or 70% of the money on anyone
- 4:27team, that even though that game should end in an outcome based
- 4:32on how we bet, that miraculously the other team either doesn't
- 4:37cover the spread or that team just outright loses, that's
- 4:43fine? Does that make sense?
- 4:44Yeah, I, yeah, it does. You know, I, I think it's more
- 4:48like how like, let's say like I bet on, I was, I thought the
- 4:57Bills were going to win and then maybe just end up sacking them
- 5:00eight times. That's the game that I'm talking
- 5:02about in particular in recent memory.
- 5:04Thank you. Or like, talk to me, what was
- 5:08it? What was the other one?
- 5:12There's one like. The the Cowboys Eagles game.
- 5:16No, no, because that's just the Eagles being Eagles Chiefs.
- 5:19No, they but you know. Saquon Barkley is not running
- 5:22like Saquon. Saquon Barkley is running like
- 5:24he's playing for the Giants again.
- 5:26Have you noticed that, Mike? Yeah.
- 5:28He's not running angry anymore because he said he can't run
- 5:31angry. It's not good for the soul.
- 5:32So he got his ring, he got his, he got his money, and now he's
- 5:35like, oh, 22 yards for the Philly game against the Cowboys.
- 5:39There's there's another game right around those same games,
- 5:43though, that my dad brought up that I think is the one that
- 5:46Jake's trying to think of. And I can't remember what it
- 5:48was. Schedule.
- 5:49My dad and I bet on a lot of the same games unbeknownst to each
- 5:53other without talking, right. And then Saturday or Sunday,
- 5:56we'll compare notes. And we definitely lost that
- 6:00Bills game there. You go, yeah, no, agreed.
- 6:03And that was kind of bullshit. And since I'm just a baby or
- 6:07gambler. Packers, Giants.
- 6:09Somehow you know that game corner out.
- 6:13If it's a corner route, it threw a pig.
- 6:15Yeah, game winner. See there's another great
- 6:18example. Yeah, well.
- 6:19There's Giants, Lions. There's, there's five Giants
- 6:22games that that they've lost in the in the final quarter that
- 6:26you can look at everything and be like, even Troy Aikman was
- 6:29like, what the fuck with the Giants, Lions, Lions game.
- 6:32You should be 8 and 4 right now. He thought it was a total, you
- 6:36know, rigged, fixed, whatever. I saw a big old thing about him.
- 6:40I'm not, I'm not sorry, not him. Tom Brady, Tom Brady.
- 6:43He said the N word after Tom Brady said the N word on an open
- 6:45mic. He goes back and he's champion.
- 6:48The Giants, they totally got screwed.
- 6:51Tell me about this because I missed that whole story.
- 6:54Brady was just saying somebody'd name and he said.
- 6:58He was trying to say Dicker, the kicker for the charges, but it
- 7:01didn't come out that way. And I'm sorry, the N word is, is
- 7:05polar opposite than dicker. OK, You know, we're talking
- 7:09about boys and girls. They're two different words.
- 7:12They are two different words. You cannot.
- 7:14You can't. No, you will.
- 7:15You cannot tell me. That that's one in his head.
- 7:19Right. You cannot tell me that Tom
- 7:20Brady in his head, it unintentionally said the N word,
- 7:24meaning to say Dick or the kicker.
- 7:26I'm sorry, don't buy it. But because he's Tom Brady, the
- 7:30golden child of the NFL, next to the Manning brothers, nothing's
- 7:33going to happen to him. Nothing.
- 7:35Nothing. Because.
- 7:37He's Tom Brady. I agree.
- 7:38It's bullshit. It's bullshit.
- 7:40Another game that was rigged was the Jags Cardinals game last
- 7:44week. Yeah, they should have won.
- 7:47That they went. They did win.
- 7:49Oh yeah, Jaguars won that. Carlos should have won, yes, but
- 7:53or there was. There was like another.
- 7:55Based on the way the game was flowing, they should have.
- 7:58Right. Yeah, It was like, it was like a
- 7:59Chiefs game, but they went to overtime.
- 8:02Yeah, I don't know. Chiefs shouldn't have won that.
- 8:04Game. No, I don't know which one it
- 8:05was. It was a different game.
- 8:06It just happened. Different game.
- 8:07Oh, OK. I don't know.
- 8:10Somebody got like a bad call. Oh, it's another Giants game.
- 8:14It was like call you defensive pass interference, but there was
- 8:17nothing. There was nothing.
- 8:17And then? Or like when they knocked out.
- 8:20No, it was it was the Colts and the Chiefs when they knocked out
- 8:22Daniel Jones. He didn't get roughing the
- 8:24passion, but you get you just barely touch patch of my home.
- 8:27Yeah, flags are thrown. Yeah, like, Oh my God, don't get
- 8:29into space. There's another good example
- 8:31space. I remember that incident there.
- 8:35Yeah, how can you stop a £400 lineman going down right?
- 8:37He can't move his momentum. He's going to land on him.
- 8:39No, it's, it's ridiculous and the NFL has got to start looking
- 8:42at this stuff because otherwise it's going to start pissing
- 8:44people off and there's just stop.
- 8:45People are going to stop watching and stop betting
- 8:47because it's obviously it's messing everything up.
- 8:49Well, I think that we've established this year for sure.
- 8:53And I can tell you I've been gambling legally online since
- 8:582018, if I remember right. And I told your dad I re floored
- 9:05and basically redid one whole half of my house based on my
- 9:08sports betting. From that six year period
- 9:11starting somewhere around last year, something changed because
- 9:16I can maintain about a 50 percent, 60% average, but that's
- 9:20not enough to get ahead at a decent margin, right?
- 9:23So something changed. And it seems more like the WWE
- 9:28watching the NFL this year than it does anything else.
- 9:31It really does. It does for sure.
- 9:34I just put $10 down on like a bunch of teams and then I just
- 9:37call it a day. I've been playing with my free
- 9:39money because when I when I made my first bet, I got that $300
- 9:42bonus. Money.
- 9:42Yeah. How'd you do with that?
- 9:43I never followed up. They're all.
- 9:44They're all, they're all prop bets.
- 9:46So it's like it's like playoff stuff.
- 9:48It's all parlays and shit. I'm still, I'm still over my 100
- 9:52bucks that I put in initially. So I'm still playing with one
- 9:54money. I still haven't dropped below my
- 9:56$100 threshold. So I'm just last week.
- 9:58I just play with with one money and then I end up winning little
- 10:01things here and there and then I just carry over to the next
- 10:03week. If I win it, I'll just go to
- 10:04casino to put it on black right and lose it right.
- 10:08I was $100. You like Jack?
- 10:10A month ago. Have you ever played craps,
- 10:12Jake? No.
- 10:14We need to meet in Vegas sometime and we're going to play
- 10:17some craps. It's the first time I go to
- 10:19Vegas because he's got to go because I, we like made this
- 10:23thing. I was like 15 and I was like, if
- 10:26we ever go to Vegas, like my Oh, my 21st birthday.
- 10:30So I gotta go and. I would say that goes like, duh,
- 10:33he's I I just want to be there too.
- 10:35I love. Playing Oh no, 100% yeah.
- 10:36Isn't he? Yeah.
- 10:37Of course he can go. Oh, it's like, it's like, Nah,
- 10:40Chris. It's like Chris.
- 10:42Got Chris, you guys stay home, do the podcast.
- 10:44Jake and I are going to go do some gambling.
- 10:45Yeah, we're going to go gamble. That's cool you.
- 10:47Know yeah, you'll see how crappy of a gambler I am.
- 10:50That would be a blast. That's why they call it
- 10:52gambling, man. Don't look, it's not skill.
- 10:55It is. I try to learn how to count
- 10:56cards, but I just I. Couldn't.
- 10:59Hard with six decks. No there it's not illegal.
- 11:03But if they find out you're doing it they will just say that
- 11:06you're you can't gamble here anymore.
- 11:08That's what they'll tell you. I've watched 100 YouTube videos
- 11:10of people being kicked out of casinos.
- 11:12It's actually kind of fun if you're looking for something
- 11:14funny to watch. Because some of them are
- 11:18downright rude about it and they have no reason to be because
- 11:22you're not doing anything illegal.
- 11:25Oh. But they just like any business,
- 11:28they have the right to refuse service, right?
- 11:31Right. I saw a video of like a dude.
- 11:33He was like, like, I don't know, he's doing, he's winning too
- 11:37much. They like politely was like,
- 11:40hey, man, yeah, you got to just finished.
- 11:42You got to go. So.
- 11:43OK, Yeah. You know who they did that to?
- 11:45That's a famous story that Joe Rogan's told 100 times on his
- 11:48podcast is Dana White. He won $6 million in one night
- 11:53at the Palms. Pretty sure it was the Palms,
- 11:56and he got banned from there for life.
- 11:59Of course, playing what? I'm pretty sure he's just a
- 12:03blackjack player. Wow, yeah.
- 12:07But they play, you know, that room where nobody gets to go
- 12:09into. That's where they're playing for
- 12:12ungodly stakes, right? Like $25,000 a hand or
- 12:15something. If I take a picture so you
- 12:22understand why I'm looking down like OK.
- 12:25Yeah, curiosity is killing me. Just dozers like leaning up
- 12:31against me so I'm like. Oh yeah.
- 12:35Dozer misses Jake. I had a dog like that for a long
- 12:39time that just no matter where I was, she was right there leaning
- 12:43against me. It's like he's a cat.
- 12:45Man. Yeah, well, they got their
- 12:49people, man. What's your shirt say, Jake?

- 19:15Getting ready to do a couple custom baggers.
- 19:19Nice. We're going to be doing his with
- 19:22a 34 in the front, full air ride.
- 19:26Going to do 132 motor build on it.
- 19:29It's going to be pretty sick. Nice.
- 19:32But just, you know, working on motorcycles like I always do.
- 19:40Talk us through that process of starting, you know, obviously
- 19:45someone comes in for a custom build and they have an idea of
- 19:48what they want in their mind. How do you take it from their
- 19:51vision to making it a reality for them to have something
- 19:56they're going to enjoy for the? I definitely try to get as much
- 19:58information as possible from them on what they want.
- 20:02There are certain things that I know that we can and can't do
- 20:06so. So if they have something that's
- 20:08a little too extravagant, I will try to point them in the right
- 20:11direction so that way they'll actually have a bike that they
- 20:14can ride and it just doesn't set in their garage and be a
- 20:17showpiece for them. So unless that's what?
- 20:21They're looking for I can do a showpiece for them as well.
- 20:25Sure. So some people come in and
- 20:27they're not realizing that their vision is going to keep them
- 20:29from making it an everyday rider, Right?
- 20:32Yeah. Yeah, sometimes they.
- 20:35What are some examples of that? So like Steve's bike, for one,
- 20:41we're going to be doing a 34 on the front.
- 20:43If we don't extend his neck out, the bike would never ride
- 20:47properly. A lot of people would just try
- 20:50to do an offset triple tree on it and try to run the 34 in the
- 20:55front. And it's not going to trail
- 20:57right. So you'll have a speed wobble
- 20:59anywhere from, you know, 25 up to 55 miles an hour.
- 21:04So what's the 34? That you got to do.
- 21:07You have to do. It does take extra work to do
- 21:10it, but you have to do it if you want it to ride right.
- 21:14OK, so what's the 34? 34 in the front.
- 21:17OK, OK. Because not everybody.
- 21:18'S going to understand what you're talking about, so that's
- 21:22why. Yes, sorry.
- 21:23You got to talk to, you got to talk to us like we're, we don't
- 21:27understand. I knew what you meant, but
- 21:28there's going to be things you're going to say that people
- 21:30don't understand too. So yeah, yeah, yeah, I was, I
- 21:34don't, I hate to say it, talk to us like we're a 5 year old, but
- 21:36that's kind of what you got to do sometimes.
- 21:38Really lay it out because I don't know.
- 21:40I want to understand. I I'm barely starting to get
- 21:43into this custom guitar building thing with another podcast guest
- 21:46of ours. And I ran into all kinds of
- 21:49questions that I didn't even understand as a person who's
- 21:51played a guitar for 40 years, you know, So.
- 21:54Yeah, I'm now I'm really curious to, you know, what your process
- 21:58is. So they come in and you either
- 22:00tell them it's going to be a showpiece or it's going to be a
- 22:03daily rider. So what happens from that point?
- 22:07So from there, like with Steve's, we had to, we had to
- 22:12order. You want to grab that your neck?
- 22:17We had to. There's a company out there that
- 22:20makes the necks the extension piece.
- 22:23So basically we're going to have to tear his bike down, cut into
- 22:27his frame, and then Weld this extension piece into the frame
- 22:31so it'll push it out far enough. And by the way, this is my
- 22:35business partner, Steve right here.
- 22:37Hi, Steve. What up Steve?
- 22:39How you doing man? Living a dream, brother.
- 22:42But this and that. So the triple trees are going to
- 22:45mount up to here. Now this is the part that we
- 22:48stick into the frame to Weld it on so we get that extra room for
- 22:53that 34 up in the front. OK, right on.
- 22:57So don't do that you. Can get an offset tree, but you
- 23:01have no suspension in the front anymore it you lose it all.
- 23:06Now, are these choppers you build?
- 23:08Are you like this? You know.
- 23:09This is going to be a custom bagger.
- 23:11This is not going to be a chopper.
- 23:14OK, so what's the difference between a bagger and a chopper?
- 23:16So a bagger is like your Street Glide, Rd.
- 23:19Glide Ultra classic Road Kings. Kind of like the diners.
- 23:24So the the dyna super glide I had.
- 23:27That is not a bag. Yeah.
- 23:29That's just a dyna OK, which what makes.
- 23:33That a dyna. Now I'm curious so.
- 23:36The frame was actually designed I think in 85 by Eric Biel and
- 23:41it was an FXR frame that Dyna or Harley took over and turned it
- 23:47into a Dyna and it has been one of the best handling bikes
- 23:50Harley has ever produced ever. Gotcha.
- 23:56Cool, I. Think I got somebody that hey.
- 24:03Who's this This is? My daughter Lennon, hi.
- 24:07Lennon hi. So last time I saw.
- 24:10Lennon She was a lot shorter and she was eating a lot of Cheetos.
- 24:14No the. Last time you seen the hot way
- 24:15shorter. Yeah, because that was at Mike's
- 24:18Mike's shop, Mike's Auto Shop or whatever.
- 24:21Mike's Mike's Bike Shop in Queen Creek, right?
- 24:23Yeah. Yeah.
- 24:25OK, yeah, we don't talk about Cheetos.
- 24:27Anymore. OK, but yeah, it was it was Hot
- 24:29Cheetos in a burrito or something she was eating.
- 24:31I was like, oh fun, fun food. I wondered if you're still
- 24:36there. Because I drive by there every
- 24:37now and then. I'm like, oh, but I never seen
- 24:39you. No, it's all good.
- 24:42Shit happens. So what's?
- 24:45A what's a, what's a what's the I know this is a loaded question
- 24:48because, you know, it's going to vary from bike to bike.
- 24:50But if if somebody came in and wanted to build a custom bike,
- 24:53what could they expect to spend on a low end, You know, just on
- 24:57a low end? You're probably, you're probably
- 25:01going to look around 20,000 if we're starting with a bare
- 25:04frame, OK, because the I mean, the motor, you're your
- 25:10drivetrain is what's going to run you the most.
- 25:13And that's your motor transmission and primary.
- 25:16A typical motor is round 7 grand.
- 25:21I mean, primaries and transmissions aren't that much,
- 25:24but that's where a big chunk of it goes to his end of the motor.
- 25:28Gotcha. OK.
- 25:30And do you build the motors from scratch or do you just you I buy
- 25:34some type of motor and then a lot of them are?
- 25:36Already pre assembled like S&S motors, Ultima's, TP
- 25:41Engineering, Patrick Racing, they're all pre assembled but I
- 25:45have done a lot of motor builds. Done a 132 already.
- 25:52That was a fun one to do 'cause it was on the newer M8 and
- 25:57basically set that motor up how the king of baggers bikes are.
- 26:02So it had the exact same setup that the guys used to race.
- 26:07Oh, right on. Now do you have?
- 26:10Do you have a? Website, Facebook page do what
- 26:13do? You have a.
- 26:14Facebook page. Or a website, right?
- 26:17Now we got a Facebook page. It is hell right Josh?
- 26:22Been trying to get it turned over into a business page.
- 26:25I'm not too savvy with the whole social media thing.
- 26:28I've just been getting back into it again.
- 26:30So but hell, right Josh? On Facebook you can find me.
- 26:37Well, boys and. Girls, there's hell, right?
- 26:40Josh right there. Yeah, right there.

- 26:50I like that. Oh that's bad.
- 26:51How do I get that on your T-shirt?
- 26:54On this shirt? Yes, Sir.
- 26:58I have sure wear. The shit out of it.
- 27:02What size do you wear? Large.
- 27:05All right, I think I. Got one large left.
- 27:08Actually, we got to put in another order.
- 27:12I love that dude, that is badass.
- 27:16Why? Is.
- 27:17I mean, you know me, I got. To keep it metal somehow I.
- 27:21Know man when? When Chris told me who was
- 27:23coming on, I was like right on man.
- 27:25Josh and I jammed together the action.
- 27:30I don't know why my. Internet.
- 27:32I have for years. Yeah, yeah, we did have fun for
- 27:36years, yeah. And.
- 27:38Unfortunately, we've talked about that.
- 27:40You guys caught me. We had time where I was just
- 27:43starting to go through recovery. Yeah.
- 27:47So. I my head just wasn't in it back
- 27:49then, man. I mean, I had fun jamming with
- 27:51you and I remembered having a great time because I was excited
- 27:55that you were coming on. You know, it's like, well, thank
- 27:57you. I know we had a.
- 27:58Good. Yeah, Hell yeah, man.
- 28:00I remember everybody I've ever jammed with.
- 28:03That's it's kind of like relationships I guess, you know,
- 28:06you remember all your ex girlfriends, you definitely
- 28:08remember all the people that you ever wrote songs with or just
- 28:13the feeling that you had when they were there, you know?
- 28:15So when Chris told me who it was, I was like oh fuck yeah,
- 28:18man, that's awesome. Yeah, Josh was a hell of a bass
- 28:20player for sure. We definitely.
- 28:23Had a lot of fun, a lot of fun on stage, a lot of fun in
- 28:27Nashville. That was a blast.
- 28:30Yeah, that's so. What a great experience you guys
- 28:32had man. It was a good time.
- 28:36It was, you know, Yeah, you know.
- 28:41Yeah, you still playing, Josh? I am.
- 28:43I play bass in a band called Burn Victim.
- 28:46Right now it's a grind core band.
- 28:51I just. In a roundabout way, got asked
- 28:54to play bass in another death metal band today.
- 28:59He came in with his bike and they were like, we're looking
- 29:02for a bass player. I'm like, huh, there you go.
- 29:06OK, there you go. Have gear wheel travel?
- 29:09Yeah. Exactly.
- 29:12Well, that's cool, man. I'm.
- 29:13Glad you're still playing. I don't know if you ever heard
- 29:16the story. About how Mike and I met.
- 29:17We are at a candle box concert and I was singing along with
- 29:21Kevin Martin the whole show, like every song.
- 29:23And Mike kept looking back at me, kept looking back at me like
- 29:27and I was getting the vibe like there's a guy, long haired,
- 29:30freaky guy looking back me telling me to shut the fuck up.
- 29:33And then the half the stage went out in power and he turns back
- 29:35around and busts out a business card.
- 29:36He's like, hey dude, you a singer?
- 29:38I'm like, yes, I am. And there you go.
- 29:43That's all it took. I was.
- 29:45Auditioning without realizing I was auditioning cause 'cause
- 29:48legit, I was singing every note, right?
- 29:50I was doing everything that Kevin Martin was doing, right.
- 29:53Yeah, same kind of range and shit.
- 29:54And so he just kept looking back and I'm thinking this guy's
- 29:57like, what the fuck? But he was looking back like,
- 29:59holy shit. And their singer, they had
- 30:03refused to go on stage because he had stage fright.
- 30:07So then Scott, the drummer's like, this can never fucking
- 30:09happen again. So then why wouldn't he be a
- 30:12singer if she have? Stage fright so.
- 30:15It was the first time in my life that I realized that you don't
- 30:18know, and I've told the story a million times to young musicians
- 30:22and anybody who will listen. You don't know if you have stage
- 30:26fright or not until you fucking get there.
- 30:28There's no way to know, right? Yeah, I didn't.
- 30:31Know. My drummer didn't know.
- 30:33We literally were opening up on the mainstage of the electric
- 30:37ballroom because I had a connection.
- 30:40So, you know, the guy who was running sound did me a favor.
- 30:44And right before we. Were going to go on stage, man.
- 30:47It was deer in the headlights. He was like, I'd never seen
- 30:49anybody in shock other than an accident victim or something
- 30:53like or somebody who was having a drug overdose, you know, I'd
- 30:55seen that in my life, but I had never seen somebody who was in
- 30:58shock just because they were scared, you know?
- 31:02And this dude was fucking scared.
- 31:04That's crazy, I still remember my first show and I was scared
- 31:11me. Too.
- 31:11And then the lights. Dimmed and I could hear the hum
- 31:14of the amps and I just settled right in at that point.
- 31:18Yep, Yep. I remembered at the.
- 31:21Very last second advice that the guy who taught me how to play
- 31:25and it was some of the greatest advice, he says when you get to
- 31:28that point, you have two choices, man.
- 31:31You can go out there and sink or you can swim, you know?
- 31:34Yep. If you play a bad.
- 31:36Note, hit it again because once was a mistake.
- 31:38Twice as jazz, they'll think you're meant to do it right.
- 31:41Don't stop. Chris.
- 31:43Can adjust all the bad notes I hit we all.
- 31:47Have dude, that's part of way in life.
- 31:50Yeah, but that's the thing. Like that's the thing, nobody in
- 31:52the crowd knew what notes for good or bad, because they were
- 31:55just so engaged in the moment of us, of us jamming and enjoying
- 31:59the, you know, the music and the show.
- 32:00So, you know, we, we had, we had one, we had stuff with Nemesis
- 32:05that, that, you know, we knew we were, we fucked something up.
- 32:08But the crowd didn't know, you know, They smiled.
- 32:11You don't keep trucking along. Yeah, yeah.
- 32:14Well, you. Can do just.
- 32:16Give your brothers a thumbs. Up and go is my bad right?
- 32:19I know it. You guys are fine.
- 32:21I fucked up. I I would.
- 32:23Usually look back and be all. Yeah, I know.
- 32:29It's all me, man. Yo damn guitar players trying to
- 32:33mess around with the time. Well, we we had a.
- 32:38Guitar player that legit kicked his cord out of the amp and
- 32:42didn't even know it. And I remember that in Sturgis.
- 32:48I try not to remember too. Much about that guitar player
- 32:51because you know, you know, I just I just I know I.
- 32:56Know he didn't know he wasn't. You know Drew his amplitude.
- 32:58I know. I know you know.
- 33:02I know you know, and I know that you know you don't want to ask
- 33:05Josh. This question, yeah, OK.
- 33:06How do you not know that you're not being amplified?
- 33:11I would feel that. Instantly.
- 33:15Instantly I think. He was so much a.
- 33:17Part of my in. The moment.
- 33:18Of. Being in his guitar.
- 33:22Solo. Daddy didn't.
- 33:28Even realize. That it popped out.
- 33:32I don't know why. I walked over and plugged it
- 33:33back in for him. Do you remember when that
- 33:37happened? To CC Deville because he was
- 33:39fucked up on the MTV Music Awards.
- 33:44Well, I would have to say. That would be the reason why he
- 33:47kicked his out and didn't know. Yeah.
- 33:52Well, you. Always wrap your.
- 33:53Cord around your strap for one. And, you know, if you're not
- 33:57playing a wireless system. I did that one.
- 34:02Time in practice when I was about, I don't know, 18 in my
- 34:06first band, real band in college.
- 34:08And I was like, OK, you got to wrap her around the yeah strap.
- 34:12You got to hook it up so that if you you don't yank it out.
- 34:17It's not very hard, you. Know I'm not the most
- 34:19mechanically and client guy in the world and I figured that one
- 34:22out right quick. Sorry client.
- 34:29Text, you know, selling houses and shit.
- 34:32It's all good, brother. It's all good.
- 34:34So how many bikes? Have how many, how many?
- 34:35How many custom mics have you built there, Josh?
- 34:37Hi, guys. Hey.
- 34:38Hey, Mikey. What's up, man?
- 34:39Hey, Mikey. What's up?
- 34:40Mikey? It's Mikey.
- 34:40It's Mikey here. So far done October 28.
- 34:45Three. OK, but in.
- 34:46Your in your time of building motorcycles because as long as
- 34:49I've known you, you've you called the turning wrenches.
- 34:51So how long in your in your lifetime of motorcycle building
- 34:55have you how many have you built?
- 34:57How long what? You got quiet.
- 34:59How many have you built? How many have?
- 35:01You. For some reason, turn your
- 35:02volume. Yeah.
- 35:03I don't. I I don't know, dude.
- 35:04It's my Internet's being whack. I don't know.
- 35:07I don't know what it is about the afternoons, man.
- 35:08Oh my God. I have no idea.
- 35:12Hello. Hello.
- 35:14I. Built bikes for Saxon
- 35:16motorcycles for like 4 years. Right, I remember that I.
- 35:19Remember that. I.
- 35:21Know in one. Year I've done 350 myself.
- 35:26Wow, that's crazy. When I.
- 35:29Opened. Up my shop.
- 35:33Shortly after. That it was called the Aces and
- 35:35Eights and it was down in Scottsdale.
- 35:39Remember that I heard of that one.
- 35:41I. Did probably, I would say
- 35:49definitely over 100. Wow.
- 35:52What really boosted me there was I did a trike for Shaquille
- 35:55O'Neal when he was playing for The Sun this year.
- 35:58Oh. That's awesome.
- 35:59I remember that. Yeah, I.
- 36:00Remember that? Yeah.
- 36:01And that was a lot of fun. Got to spend a lot of time with
- 36:04him and he was actually a really cool guy.
- 36:07He was. He sounds like a.
- 36:08Really. Yeah.
- 36:09Yeah, he seems like everything. Everything.
- 36:12I've heard about him. He's a big man.
- 36:13He's not an asshole. Yeah.
- 36:17Have you seen his wife? It's like it's, you know, I
- 36:20don't know how. I I I don't know how.
- 36:22He doesn't break her. You know, I just.
- 36:27When I met. Her.
- 36:28I felt sorry for her. She's itty bitty.
- 36:33Yeah, yeah, it's. Like shagging?
- 36:35Yeah, I know. And the wife?
- 36:37Man, I'm just like Josh. It's crazy for the poor girl.
- 36:42Dude. It's nuts.
- 36:45Like we got to work on an arrangement here.
- 36:51That's really cool. Who?
- 36:52Else have you built bikes for anybody else that?
- 36:56People would know. A guy named Beau Mack that owned
- 37:00the Elements restaurants in Scottsdale.
- 37:03He owned a couple. They were really fancy
- 37:06restaurants, super familiar. At.
- 37:09One point when I was working for Saxon, when who was it that won
- 37:15the World Series that year? The Red Sox.
- 37:18We built a couple bikes for their players.
- 37:21Awesome, I built a bike for an ASU fundraiser.
- 37:27And actually the. Guy that owns that bike now has
- 37:30recently contacted me to see if I could help him out with it and
- 37:34I'm like bring it on in. Trying to think who else.
- 37:41There's been a lot. I just, that's really cool, man.
- 37:45I had, I mean, I knew that you were into motorcycles because I
- 37:48remember the night that we jammed you and I talked about it
- 37:50and I think you were wearing your Aces and Eights shirt back
- 37:53then probably. So we.
- 37:55Got to talking about it and I knew you were into it, but I had
- 37:57no idea a, that you built custom bikes and B, that you had done
- 38:01it for so long and it's such a high level man.
- 38:05You know, I, I knew you were a great bass player because I
- 38:07jammed with you. I I just think it's cool when
- 38:09somebody has mastered their craft and if you can take a
- 38:13piece of steel and a motor and tires and put it together, you
- 38:16have mastered your craft. It's.
- 38:19I love it. It's probably the most enjoyable
- 38:22job I've ever had in my entire life.
- 38:26That's. Awesome man.
- 38:28I wouldn't. Want to be doing anything else?
- 38:30I like creating stuff. That's my whole thing is I love
- 38:34to build. Bikes, obviously being a
- 38:36musician, that carries over into every other part of life.
- 38:40That's the part that people don't understand is you don't
- 38:42stop being an artist because you put your base on the stand,
- 38:45right? Yeah.
- 38:47You're still creative. In every other aspect, we
- 38:51started this podcast. Very weird.
- 38:53You know, we'd never introduced you.
- 38:56This is Josh. I know from.
- 38:57Yeah. Sorry.
- 38:58What's the name of your business?
- 38:59Hell Ride Hell. Ride hell, Ride custom.
- 39:02So everybody go to Facebook, check out Hell Ride customs.
- 39:07If you're in the. Market for a bike, especially in
- 39:10the Phoenix metro area. Go see Josh.
- 39:13Yeah. And I'm I'm live again, right?
- 39:15We can definitely we. Could make your dreams come true
- 39:18with it, that's for damn sure. So if you can think.
- 39:23It more than likely we can do it and that's.
- 39:27What the guy told me when we had him on for Monkey House Guitars.
- 39:32And it scared me. Man, because I'm like, well, I
- 39:35know how to play the thing and I know what all the components
- 39:38are, but I don't know what a fret radius is.
- 39:40I don't know what gauge fret wire I want.
- 39:42I don't know what would I want. And he just kind of started
- 39:46laughing. We talked for an hour and a half
- 39:48after work, the podcast, man. And you know, all these
- 39:50questions came up and he's like, I have clients who are so
- 39:54particular, they'll send me 7 pages of notes, right?
- 39:57Here's what I want. I'll build it.
- 40:00He said, And then I have clients obviously like you who have just
- 40:04been players their whole lives. And you know, he's like, don't
- 40:07let that bother you, He says. I'm just, I don't want to offend
- 40:09you by doing things for you. You know what I'm saying?
- 40:14Yeah. I'm like, you're not, you're not
- 40:16going to offend me, man. His work speaks for itself.
- 40:18So what made what caught Chris and I's eye is he built a custom
- 40:24guitar for Peter Clutt from Candlebox.
- 40:26Oh nice. So.
- 40:27Now we all three. Had something in common, right?
- 40:30That was one of his heroes as much as it was one of mine.
- 40:33And that's where Chris and I met.
- 40:34So it's just weird how things come together like that.
- 40:38You know that that is awesome. And and.
- 40:41And we're so it was a cool. How the universe?
- 40:43Brings you back around like that.
- 40:46Now I'm sitting here talking to. You, man, I remember that night
- 40:49that we were jamming in Kevin's backroom like it was yesterday.
- 40:53You know, it just those memories come flooding back.
- 40:56And to talk to Mikey, well, his name's Mike.
- 41:00The other guy's name's Mikey. Mike Thompson is the guy who
- 41:03owns Monkey House Guitars. To talk to him about what Candle
- 41:08Box and that album meant to him, it was just so cool, man, you
- 41:12know? To have somebody who.
- 41:16Built a guitar for their hero and then not only did that guy
- 41:19accept it, but he's. They're going out on their 32nd
- 41:23day anniversary reunion tour and he's pictured with that guitar
- 41:28everywhere he goes. That's got to be the.
- 41:30Best feeling right there. Mike said it.
- 41:33Just, you know, he, like, didn't mean it, but he's like, I looked
- 41:37at everybody and said I could fucking die right now, right?
- 41:40That's what all that meant to him.
- 41:42Yeah. It's like, I don't mean it, but
- 41:44you know, that. It's just that kind of feeling,
- 41:47man. I did it.
- 41:48You know? Not only did this guy accept it
- 41:50into his collection, it became is number one.
- 41:53Yeah, which and. He played.
- 41:54He made a. Show you right?
- 41:56There at how well of a job you did if somebody of that caliber
- 42:01wants to be playing that instrument as their number one
- 42:04you did something good well so. Much so that he ordered a number
- 42:092 the hoe, which made me order my number one and then who's the
- 42:13other band? Was give yourself a favor, Josh.
- 42:15On your phone, go to Monkey House Guitars on Facebook and
- 42:18just follow his work because I will that.
- 42:21Attention to. Detail that he pays is just
- 42:24outstanding. It's probably the same on par
- 42:28that you would do for somebody on a custom bike, right?
- 42:31You're going to. If the customer is not.
- 42:34Happy you're not happy. I can just see that attention to
- 42:36detail in anybody who does custom work.
- 42:40If you're going to stay in business as long as you have,
- 42:42you obviously listen to what the people want and more so I think
- 42:48it's more important what you said earlier in that you're not
- 42:51afraid to tell them when they're wrong.
- 42:53You know, No you if you can't. You can't be like, for real,
- 42:59you, you have somebody's life in your hands at that point.
- 43:02So if they're going to make a decision that would be unsafe
- 43:05for them, I, I have to put a halt on that.
- 43:11Yes, I'm listening to you man. I.
- 43:15Was just making sure Chris didn't text me.
- 43:17I don't he no I heard. Oh.
- 43:19Oh, you can't see me. Yeah, he.
- 43:22Froze up on us. I know he's.
- 43:24Got a hard stop too at a certain point, I can't remember what
- 43:27time it was but you and I can go however long you got.
- 43:30I got him off till Monday. I started my vacation.
- 43:38At 2:00. Oh, there he is, right there.
- 43:41Hold on. Oh, he's here.
- 43:43I'm here. I'm here.
- 43:45You don't see me, he says He's here.
- 43:47Hello. Hello.
- 43:48Hello. Oh, he can hear everything.
- 43:51We're doing he. Yeah.
- 43:52We can't hear him. No, I can't.
- 43:54Hear him at all? Oh fuck.
- 43:57Weird. I don't know.
- 44:07I've. Never encountered that.
- 44:09Technology sucks sometimes man. It does suck.
- 44:12That. It does.
- 44:17Oh, there he went. He.
- 44:18Finally. Sorry, ladies and gentlemen.
- 44:21We're having technical difficulties.
- 44:23These things happen. So I think what we should.
- 44:30Do is talk about when you started your career like you
- 44:36said, you've been doing it 30 years or over 30 years over
- 44:41Yeah, I. Went to.
- 44:45I mean I started. Working with my dad in his
- 44:48garage when I was like 12 years old, like actually working with
- 44:54him was always in the garage with him.
- 44:57You're there. We can see you.
- 44:59We see you now and. Welcome back bro.
- 45:02Fucking weird I'm sitting. Injecting.
- 45:04And I'm like, why aren't they listening to me?
- 45:05I mean, I know I'm a lead singer and all, but come on.
- 45:07What the fuck? I'm glad we weren't.
- 45:09Yeah, you. Don't we?
- 45:10Weren't going much. No, Ever.
- 45:12I'm glad we weren't. Sitting there going that fucking
- 45:14Dick now that he's. Gone we can.
- 45:16Really talk about him and he's sitting back.
- 45:18I heard, I heard. Everything you were saying, it
- 45:21was weird. It was so weird, crazy dude.
- 45:23And the Internet, I don't know what it is in the afternoons,
- 45:25man. Josh the Internet does not like
- 45:27my after and I have Starlink and com Starlink dude like to the
- 45:31stars really yes. And it's.
- 45:34Like what the hell? I don't get it.
- 45:37I don't. It makes no sense to me.
- 45:39So he was just telling us how he.
- 45:40Got started in his bike building.
- 45:42Oh yeah, I heard it all. I was listening to everything
- 45:45so. I was like.
- 45:47Flying a wall man, I'm just. You know, you know, it's kind of
- 45:54like. So like.
- 45:56Started working on bikes with my dad when I was young.
- 46:01He was into doing hot rods and bikes so.
- 46:06I spent a. Lot of time in the garage
- 46:10building. Cars.
- 46:11Building trucks, he got heavily into 4 wheel drive trucks there
- 46:16for a minute and helped him do a lot of lifted stuff, but it just
- 46:22carried over. As I got older, into my later
- 46:25teens we were man. At one point we had a 65 Ford
- 46:34Galaxy that we had done a full frame up restoration, a 66 Ford
- 46:41F-150 that we did a full up restoration on.
- 46:46My uncle. I love those old Ford.
- 46:48Trucks, dude, Yeah. My uncle 22 Oldsmobile we did a
- 46:53frame up restoration on and totally slammed it down to the
- 46:57ground, chopped top. Did a bunch of stuff to that
- 47:00truck or that car. He had a 52 Ford that we did a
- 47:06bunch of stuff too. We welded the whole hood and to
- 47:09the fenders so the whole front part of the truck lifted off
- 47:12instead of the hood lifting up. That's awesome, man.
- 47:18But then, right? Before he passed, I signed up to
- 47:24go to MMI because we were talking about opening up a shop
- 47:27and I was like, I remember seeing those commercials.
- 47:30On TV all the time when I was in Arizona, so I.
- 47:33Went through the school right when I started he had passed
- 47:36away and I went through the school and when I graduated I
- 47:40started working for sex and right out the gate building
- 47:43bikes for them nice and then I. Kind of went.
- 47:47Off on did my own thing and worked at maybe two or three
- 47:51other shops and then here I am now and.
- 47:56Steve was wanting to. Do this for a long time and I
- 48:03finally called him was like, Are you ready?
- 48:05And he's all I've been doing is waiting for you.
- 48:07That's. Awesome man.
- 48:09So that's. A great feeling.
- 48:11Too. We did it and so far it's.
- 48:16Going good. Still trying to get the name.
- 48:20Out there and get everything rolling but.
- 48:24For the first year, a. Lot better than other shops
- 48:28would be doing that's I had. A lot of.
- 48:31Clientele follow me from the last shop I was working at
- 48:35because they couldn't stand the owner the.
- 48:39Owner would put. Bad taste in everybody's mouth.
- 48:44So when they knew I left, they came right on with me.
- 48:49That's cool. That's awesome.
- 48:50Man. I built a lot of.
- 48:53Relationships there and my work, definitely, they were like, they
- 48:58don't want anybody else touching their bikes, so that's good.
- 49:01That makes me feel good. Well, and that's one of those.
- 49:04Things right a mechanic, an air conditioning guy, those are
- 49:08people that you have to blindly trust because they can tell you
- 49:11whatever they want to tell you and you're going to believe them
- 49:13because you're lying on them to you know so you don't know I
- 49:16mean, I guess the ball bearings OK, fix them it's going cool
- 49:20yeah, do it change. It right and then you go while
- 49:23I. Was in there your.
- 49:24Flux capacitor was well. Yeah, yeah.
- 49:29But that's true in my business. That's that's plumbers,
- 49:32electricians, AC guys, you got to have you got to have some of
- 49:36you trust because you know what should be an easy fix?
- 49:39All of a sudden you're thousands of dollars down the drain and
- 49:41what the fuck? What did you fix?
- 49:42You ever no idea. This is a true story.
- 49:45Within the last couple years of dealership that I won't mention
- 49:49because I live in a small town, tried to charge my dad $400.00
- 49:54for a set of lug nuts. I'm not kidding you.
- 49:57Wow, that's a true story, Yeah. He said what are the gold?
- 50:01Plated, they better be 24 karat gold, right?
- 50:03Yeah. Because the weight would
- 50:07justify. The price at that point?
- 50:09That is insane. Maybe, yeah.
- 50:13So you know, if they do, if they tried to do that to my father
- 50:16who is 64235. What do they do to all the?
- 50:21Women that walk through right? Are they $800?
- 50:25That's terrible man. I hate that shit.
