Transcript
- 0:00What he was explaining to me is the grass is always greener on
- 0:03the other side and I get that like people want one 80s over
- 0:06here, but. There has to be like a reason.
- 0:08He just likes America. I think like a lot of them, like
- 0:12US. And you got to remember like
- 0:15what we do with those cars, they don't really do over there.
- 0:19So they look at us like, oh, they have like all this crazy
- 0:23shit, like 800 horsepower. Like they don't do that.
- 0:26So they're like, oh, what they have is so cool.

- 3:18Well, welcome everybody to an episode.
- 3:20I'm. Going raw tonight.
- 3:24What I don't? I'm going no headphones tonight.
- 3:26Yeah, I don't know what that was, nor do I know what I just
- 3:29said. I was, I just said the
- 3:30completely wrong thing. I think I messed up the intro
- 3:32for the first time in like nearly 200 episodes.
- 3:36Welcome everybody to the Faction After Hours podcast.
- 3:41We are going to bring you another episode.
- 3:42We have one of our regular guests.
- 3:44Haven't been on in a while. Well, because you've been like
- 3:48out and doing stuff and building an S13, we have Johnny Minako,
- 3:52local legend Johnny Minako S. 13 I have not.
- 3:57Where have you been? Japan.
- 4:00Yeah. Drift Appalachia.
- 4:02Oh, that went to the last one. Yeah.
- 4:05Yeah. How was that?
- 4:07It was a good time doing the usual.
- 4:11You said you had a different perspective on it.
- 4:13I'm going right to right to it because the people know that
- 4:16you're the lead car and shit. I was doing the follow car.
- 4:19I was lead car for a little bit, but I like following because I
- 4:22get to see my friends do shit, so it's more fun to me that way.
- 4:27OK. But yeah, I mean, it was a good
- 4:30time. It was a little different than
- 4:32the last one. What happened?
- 4:33Oh wait, this is the one with the night stage.
- 4:35He ran a little smoother. It did, yeah.
- 4:38There was less crashes, ran a little smoother.
- 4:41There was crashes still but. What do you mean ran a little
- 4:44smoother? Like it just felt like the whole
- 4:49thing just went like they've been doing.
- 4:51They had since I did the last one they've had what, 5 of them?
- 4:56Oh, you mean like it's just coming with age?
- 4:58Like they they know what they're doing.
- 4:59Type of shit. I mean, they always, it always
- 5:02ran really. They know how to run an event.
- 5:03Definitely. So they they kind of run it like
- 5:06club loose in a sense. Did you do follow car even if it
- 5:09was night time? Yeah, I was following that
- 5:11night. That's.
- 5:11Tweaker shit I I would be so scared.
- 5:14Did you see? That tweaker shit.
- 5:17You just said earlier I'm going in raw.
- 5:19Shut the fuck up. Did you, did you, did you see
- 5:23the night stuff? Didn't it look like a Hot Wheels
- 5:24track? I want them to take the fucking
- 5:26neon lights off though. Well, that's you didn't like.
- 5:29The neon lights. Dude, even the organizers were
- 5:31like, yeah, I would be sick without the lights because it
- 5:34feels real. It it.
- 5:36It would and I heard not the entirety of it was lit up so you
- 5:40can enjoy that. But for us people with
- 5:42astigmatism and and and struggle seeing at night, I was like, oh
- 5:47fuck yeah, just avoid that bright area.
- 5:50I could. I think I could maybe do that.
- 5:52It was still sketchy though, because you got to it's not just
- 5:56like a regular like you see in Japan or wherever over here,
- 5:59even where it's like two or three cars going up a mountain,
- 6:03it's fucking 50 cars. That's crazy going in the train.
- 6:07They. Do that shit there.
- 6:09Johnny, I know, I know. But I'm saying it's like you
- 6:12can't see shit, so you're going into a blind corner not knowing
- 6:16if someone's spun out in it because you know they had the
- 6:19flaggers on the side with the lights.
- 6:21We all hear you eating. Malcolm camp right now.
- 6:25Now. Dude, do not move a muscle.
- 6:28I'm trying to finish. It wait 'cause I know.
- 6:30Dude, first of your mic, first of all.
- 6:32I wasn't going to say anything and Frankie put you on the spot.
- 6:35So did you do any of that stuff over there?
- 6:37Did you do like any like? What do you mean like?
- 6:39Allegedly bad stuff over there, like on the street.
- 6:42No, no, no, no. Where drift Apple actually.
- 6:45No, I'm talking about Japan. Japan, I mean, I was fucking
- 6:48around in the rental, definitely.
- 6:50I was following some guy in like some old Porsche and M2 like up
- 6:56Manu. Dude, we we saw an old Porsche
- 6:59there too. It was like dark green, like
- 7:02almost black. It was so nice.
- 7:04They they actually have a shop that's kind of near Manu, like
- 7:08the the famous Osaka Toge, you know, the the iconic video Osaka
- 7:14JDM drift. Oh, with the?
- 7:17The dude doing the Yeah, the dude doing the doughnuts around
- 7:19the. That's the one yeah, that
- 7:21mountain there's like a near it there's like a old poor shop.
- 7:24So I figured like a lot of them in that area have it wait
- 7:27because. You went to that road, you
- 7:28drove. On that, yeah, it was dude.
- 7:29You must know this video pops. I might know the video.
- 7:32You would know it like JC Streeter drove it back in the
- 7:35day and shit, That's cool. That is sick.
- 7:38I think there's an aceto map for that.
- 7:39I'm about to. Yeah, there is, there is.
- 7:41It's on car X too. Is it?
- 7:43Yeah. Isn't that fucking crazy?
- 7:46They're like, yeah, this one specific Rd. over here kind of
- 7:49interests us. I mean it's.
- 7:50It's iconic but like dude that road is crazy.
- 7:54What was the rental you had? Please don't say it was
- 7:56something bad. Was it something lame?
- 7:57Yeah, I hope it's. Something bad Nissan no Aqua or
- 8:02something. It was like a fucking no,
- 8:04Malcolm. I don't.
- 8:08Know what to say Is a Nissan Aqua Note Note Aqua?
- 8:13What is it? I need not remember.
- 8:15What it looked like, it was like a little, it's like.
- 8:16A phone you don't. Remember what it looked like,
- 8:19Johnny? Was it a K car A.
- 8:20Little bit no it wasn't AK car, no way you were driving around a
- 8:23bit worse than a K. Car.
- 8:25Yeah, it was, it was that thing like, like it was red, but 9.
- 8:30Pictures. On the screen it was like the
- 8:32blue one but it was red. Oh, oh, wait, this is so so
- 8:37that's not really AK car that one's.
- 8:39Nicer than the 1 I had. I had a base Model 1.
- 8:42It kind of looks like the K car. Kind of, but it's bigger.
- 8:45It's like a, it's like having a fit or something.
- 8:50I mean, it was whatever. It got me from point D to point
- 8:52D That one's probably a couple of years older.
- 8:55Oh. Toyota Aqua what?
- 8:57Why? What is the Aqua mean?
- 8:59Is it a hybrid? Was it a hybrid?
- 9:00That's what it was, either a Toyota Aqua or a Nissan Note.
- 9:03That's why I was getting mixed up.
- 9:05Oh, you're getting it. Was whatever though, I was
- 9:08keeping up with the Kaizes the the M2 and the Porsche but they
- 9:11weren't flying but they were probably like who the fuck is
- 9:14this engine behind? And Alex in a sub compact car.
- 9:19That's cool though, pushing the shit up.
- 9:22Dude, it was crazy. And what's crazier is that zoo I
- 9:26like leads right up to that road.
- 9:28So I was like, I went to the first day we were there, I went
- 9:32to the zoo and then I just there's like a mountain Rd. that
- 9:37just goes up from there because it's at the end of the city and
- 9:41you just follow it up and you end up on that road.
- 9:43Did you realize it was a road when you went on it?
- 9:45I've like been on maps and like seeing that it's close and that
- 9:48it connected in a way and then I was going up and then I end.
- 9:53So it's set up like that section, they drift is like an
- 9:56intersection between the two roads.
- 9:59And then the race section, like the grip section is further up.
- 10:03And I was, I didn't go through there the first time and I'm
- 10:07coming through. I'm like, oh, this like
- 10:09definitely leads up to it. And I'm going through and I get
- 10:12to the intersection where they would drift, where the light
- 10:14post is. And I like saw, I was like, it's
- 10:19it's hard to tell when you're there where you are.
- 10:21Doesn't it look so different? Like the roads?
- 10:24Like it looks so weird. Yeah, it looks different and
- 10:26they like those concrete. Walls on the left.
- 10:29Yeah, they do. And shit drifts me out.
- 10:30Yeah, it did. But I got there and I saw like
- 10:32stickers on the guard rail and I was like, oh, this is.
- 10:35There was like cars behind me though and shit, I was like, I
- 10:37got to get the fuck out of here. But I went back a couple times
- 10:39after that. Just to say like, because
- 10:41obviously I don't think people do anything there anymore since
- 10:44we're talking about it not drifts.
- 10:46But they race it still. The race section.
- 10:48Yeah, they race it still. Dude, I imagine getting into an
- 10:52accident out there and then needing to be like recovered.
- 10:55I don't know. What goes on?
- 10:57You get an accident over, I don't know what happens to you.
- 10:59You get put in jail or something.
- 11:00I don't know. Do you want to go?
- 11:01But do you not want to go back? I do want to go back.
- 11:04On chops. I want to go no, I want to go
- 11:06Drifting St. Drifting shut off.
- 11:08Yeah, yeah. I want to see it.
- 11:09I didn't see. Do you really do?
- 11:11Only St. drifting you should care about anything else.
- 11:12I'm going to tell Diego and Brad that you said that and this is
- 11:15going to happen. Yeah, I'll go with them, yeah.
- 11:16They're good. They don't hit.
- 11:17They don't hit each other. Unless you know.
- 11:19I like that that that's nice. They're.
- 11:21Going to hit that spot that you guys went to without saying
- 11:24allegedly what it is, but is it near Osaka?
- 11:30No, not really. Like outskirts maybe like an
- 11:33hour 45 out of. Oh, so like maybe like Nara area
- 11:36or something? Yeah, I.
- 11:38Don't honestly know. Like somewhere on that island I
- 11:40guess. Like that pile of rocks?
- 11:44Somewhere in Japan, I. Do Johnny I?
- 11:46Like you don't normally know where you are when you're there,
- 11:49Yeah. You, I'm assuming, had some sort
- 11:51of awareness of geographically what Japan?
- 11:53Looks like I'm good like that. So sort of in a way, but still I
- 11:56was like you, like I've never been there.
- 11:59So I would go, but you knew more.
- 12:01About it, like I feel like you, you fuck with Japan.
- 12:03I do, but I I feel like I just have something in my body that
- 12:07just like tells me if I'm like N SE like I'm I'm like, dude, you
- 12:12cannot get me lost You. I cannot get lost.
- 12:15I don't know what it is, but I cannot get lost.
- 12:17How did you come to this conclusion?
- 12:20My mom is that way and I've always just been that way, like
- 12:23I guess riding bikes around all the time and shit.
- 12:26So you're telling me your Dick just points N all the time?
- 12:28You know where to go, and not necessarily.
- 12:30That but the. Way.
- 12:31The way I figured it out is when we would leave a store at the
- 12:33mall and my sister and my mom would go the wrong way.
- 12:35And I'm like, it's this way. Yeah, exactly what do you?
- 12:38Mean. I'm a landmark.
- 12:39We came from that way. Yeah, you just feel like you
- 12:42have a compass, like in your body or something.
- 12:45I'm the same way. That's I I can, I can, I'm
- 12:48hearing you, but logically for me to not get lost, I use
- 12:52landmarks, you naturally you're saying.
- 12:55Sort of in a way. I use landmarks but like.

- 14:09in another language over there. I'm like what the fuck am I
- 14:12looking at? That's what made me panicked at
- 14:14first, but man, everybody's so nice anyway.
- 14:17I'm sure you experienced it dude.
- 14:18If you're if you're lost, it's. Fine.
- 14:19When you're in Japan, you kind of don't know where the fuck you
- 14:21are. Either no, that's what I'm
- 14:22saying. It's like here.
- 14:24It's like, I always know where north is generally wherever I
- 14:27am, but like in Japan, it's like you were just dropped there.
- 14:31Like if you look at a map, when you get there you're like OK.
- 14:34Yeah, exactly. I mean, spending however much
- 14:36time I did there like I figured it out after a while, I wouldn't
- 14:40even need maps to get to like certain places.
- 14:42Like you learn Japanese in in a week.
- 14:44Type shit. No, hell no I didn't.
- 14:47I had no idea. You know, that was one thing
- 14:49that I would go wherever and I feel like I'm just mumbling to
- 14:52these people like they would. What were you saying?
- 14:54Did you learn anything? No, I didn't learn anything but
- 14:57like I. Didn't either dude.
- 14:59Yeah, I didn't learn. I mean, like, I guess a couple
- 15:02like basic words. I forgot them by now.
- 15:05What the fuck? But I would just go to a
- 15:07convenience store and they'd ask if I wanted a bag, I guess, or
- 15:09something. I bet yeah, Sam was saying.
- 15:11I was just like mumbling to them and they'd be like, okay.
- 15:15And I just leave. They'd be like, what is because
- 15:17I didn't stay in touristy area. I was like in the outskirts.
- 15:22Yeah, it's so fun when that happens because they're like,
- 15:25what, the actual? Fuck, they were looking at me
- 15:28and Alex like we had fucking 10 heads.
- 15:31It was insane. They were like what the fuck
- 15:33like. What?
- 15:34But you know, you don't you don't mean bad by anything.
- 15:36So you're. Just like we were respectful, we
- 15:39were respectful and definitely like knew what we were getting
- 15:41ourselves into, but. What did Alex think of this so
- 15:45far? Because now I'm.
- 15:46Like when we first got there. Not not to give do it by like a
- 15:49play by play, but obviously we talked about your first day and
- 15:52I feel like we're not even through the first day.
- 15:55Oh no, we weren't, dude. We, we did so much there.
- 15:57It was kind of. Ridiculous on the first day
- 15:59alone. Well, the so we got there.
- 16:03You went to the zoo right away for the people who are realistic
- 16:05that don't know why. We got there like 5:00.
- 16:08We landed in Osaka. Well, we landed in Tokyo and
- 16:10then took a flight to Osaka. Then we got there and we were in
- 16:14Osaka airport, ITM, whatever airport.
- 16:18And they have a a spaghetti place there that sells.
- 16:22It's a winery. They sell the wombat wine.
- 16:25So we stopped there and I bought all the wine.
- 16:27That was the first thing I did. OK, though.
- 16:30Yeah. So that was one, that was what I
- 16:31was going to tell people that who that don't know or haven't
- 16:34heard the previous episodes. You like wombats?
- 16:36Yeah. So I bought all the wines.
- 16:39He's got a fucking pin on his hat.
- 16:42That gets such a. So that we did that and then we
- 16:46go to the Air BN. Oh, I get the rental car.
- 16:49You don't even drink. Oh well, you drink.
- 16:51Can you just put a wombat on the screen so I can see it?
- 16:53Oh yeah. It's it's just a comfort thing.
- 16:55It is a funny. Why don't we put the the
- 16:58particular wombat? Isn't there a particular one?
- 17:00Common that the one all the way on the right?
- 17:02That's not a common, that's a no.
- 17:04No, no, the one Harry knows. Like what's the?
- 17:07Name of the one? Mr. Wine?
- 17:09Yeah, he's famous. Those are the wines up there.
- 17:15Yeah, that's Mr. Wine. You don't even really drink
- 17:17wine, Johnny. Why did you need to buy?
- 17:19All of it, just to have it. That money was burning a hole in
- 17:24yolk. Pie.
- 17:25Yeah, that was like 100 bucks right there.
- 17:28They got big noses, right? Yeah, they do.
- 17:31Well, Mr. Wine has a really big nose.
- 17:32They say it looks like a loaf of bread.
- 17:34Yeah. What is?
- 17:36That's Fuku Chan down there. I don't know who that is.
- 17:40That's not Mr. Wine, they said. Congrats, though.
- 17:42I don't know that guy. Yeah, wait.
- 17:43Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 17:44That's how big the wombat is down 3 rows, Malcolm.
- 17:49This is how big a wombat is. Yeah, that's Patrick.
- 17:52He used to be the oldest in the world.
- 17:56Dude, what happened? I'm.
- 17:57I guess he passed away like a while ago though.
- 18:00I'm blown away at the size of a wombat, I thought.
- 18:03They're pretty big I. Thought I thought this thing

- 18:30So yeah, we, I bought the wines, we ate food, and then I get the
- 18:34rental car. Dude, that was one of the
- 18:35hardest things I ever did in my life was get in the rental car.
- 18:38Why was it hard? Same.
- 18:39For me, but in Texas. Oh, actually, Bryson had a
- 18:42terrible time too with the rental car.
- 18:43Dude, I was like this guy didn't speak any English and so I'm
- 18:46using translator and he's asking me for an address and like I'm
- 18:51like, it was a Airbnb, it wasn't a hotel.
- 18:53So I'm like fuck, like I didn't have any service now because I
- 18:57didn't get the the Wi-Fi thing yet.
- 18:59Damn it, Johnny. And I was like trying to like
- 19:02actually I might have had it, but I couldn't like get the
- 19:04address or I couldn't write it down because I don't know how to
- 19:09write in Japanese. Oh, you don't know how to what
- 19:13I'm? Just like trying to tell him
- 19:15like, yeah, I don't know the address, but I'm staying in this
- 19:19town. And he's like, OK, OK, I just
- 19:22took the car. The first thing I see when I get
- 19:25out of the airport, like a block away from the airport, bone
- 19:29stock cookie 180 with all the arrow on it.
- 19:34Damn. And I'm like, I was like kind of
- 19:36tripping out at that point because I was like
- 19:37hallucinating. It's my first time there.
- 19:38I was like. Like holy shit.
- 19:40Yeah, I was like, wait, what the fuck?
- 19:41Before we go on any further, I'm so angry I wasn't with you.
- 19:44Yeah. Or vice versa.
- 19:45I want to go with everyone, but I just wanted to go like it was
- 19:48a good opportunity. To go over again.
- 19:51I want to go October too, yeah. No, you said you weren't.
- 19:54No, I'm going to go. You know why I'm going to go.
- 19:56I'm probably going to quit this job by then.
- 19:59No, actually, probably by October.
- 20:02By October I'm going to be like already had been already
- 20:07leaving, like thinking about ditching.
- 20:09Carl's moving, guys. Yeah, we talked about this on
- 20:12the last podcast. How we got to remind him.
- 20:14No, I don't want. People to know because I'm mad
- 20:17people you. Just told everyone that listens
- 20:19to the podcast. I know, but it gets buried
- 20:20really quick. OK.
- 20:23Dude, because I don't need people meddling with my shit.
- 20:24Dude, I'm going to have a bunch of people that wait, where are
- 20:26you going to move? Shut the fuck up.
- 20:28You'll figure it out. Anyway, though, I thought that
- 20:33you were not going to want to go back to Japan first of all.
- 20:35Yeah. I I like.
- 20:37Japan, I like it more than here. I want to move.
- 20:40There I also like money though, so I don't know if I want to go
- 20:42do that. Malcolm, you heard how he said
- 20:44that for me. I love.
- 20:46I mean, I spent a lot of money when I was there, but I didn't
- 20:48spend. Johnny, you spent $100 within
- 20:53seconds of being there on 7 bottles.
- 20:55Yeah, I mean, I I spend money on things that I wanted when I was
- 20:58there, but just being there, I didn't.
- 21:01No, you don't spend any money when you're there.
- 21:03Yeah, it's getting there and not working while you're there.
- 21:06Yeah, that's those are the 2 problems.
- 21:08Dude it feels so weird because we were this is so wild.
- 21:12We're actually talking about this because the other day we
- 21:15were all just talking on the discord and and Brad was like, I
- 21:18want to watch the Japan video, like our Japan video.
- 21:21And I, I was watching it and in my mind I was like, how the fuck
- 21:25it was any of this real? Because like when you leave
- 21:28there it you're like, I don't know, you just didn't do work
- 21:31for that long. And it it was like full like
- 21:35decompress because you're just not really struggling to fucking
- 21:40do things. I don't know unless you needed
- 21:43tools, hardware or or off the shelf car parts like OEM
- 21:49manufacturer car parts. Everything was chill.
- 21:52Yeah, I know. That stuff's hard to get there.
- 21:53Dude, they. Don't have AutoZone, they don't
- 21:54have O'reilly's they don't have. Advance Auto, they don't have
- 21:57that I mean. We're so blessed to have that.
- 21:59I didn't know that that was a big deal to have.
- 22:00But they got up garage. But you were doing more car
- 22:03stuff than me there. Like I did car stuff, but I
- 22:06wasn't like, that's not that wasn't like why it went there.
- 22:09Well, this is great because we did car stuff and that was
- 22:12really fun, but we didn't really do any tourist stuff.
- 22:14I I mean I didn't really do touristy stuff either.
- 22:17Did you go to the castle? No, I didn't do anything like
- 22:20that. I went the most.
- 22:21Tourist Wombat. Yeah, I didn't kind of.
- 22:23I saw them from far away. The zoo wasn't open fully
- 22:26because it's still being renovated.
- 22:28So like they have like a petting zoo area kind of where you get
- 22:32to meet like bunnies and like small animals, but.
- 22:36Johnny knew why he was there. He was like.
- 22:39Yeah, I just wanted to go see it.
- 22:40I just wanted to go see it, and I wanted to go to Japan.
- 22:42The most touristy thing I did though was probably go to Nara
- 22:46Deer Park. Hold on.
- 22:47So like, so you went there, you first day done, boom, whatever,
- 22:51boom. Now we're at the Deer Park.
- 22:53Well, no. So nothing.
- 22:55Happened in between. That that happened because so I
- 22:58was I wanted to go the the second day was sick honestly,
- 23:02and how I like this whole thing happened.
- 23:04Hell yeah. Well, let's talk.
- 23:05How about that? So I've been we woke up.
- 23:09I woke up at like fucking four in the morning again, go to
- 23:13Lawson, get a coffee. I'm just hanging out all
- 23:15morning. Tell Alex like all right, let's
- 23:18go. I wanted to go to Consai
- 23:19service. I was like, let's go to Consai
- 23:21service. That's.
- 23:22Kind of far from Osaka dude. It's like an.
- 23:25Hour, it's like an hour and a half without toll.
- 23:27So, but it was like 7:30 in the morning at this point.
- 23:32So I was, we had all the time in the world.
- 23:34So I'm driving up whatever toll this road.
- 23:37It's like a little not toge, but it's like a kind of like a
- 23:40winding road. And then I think she had to go
- 23:43to the bathroom. So I was like, all right, let me
- 23:46put a Lawson or a Family Mart in, try to find something.
- 23:51So then I put it in and we're like kind of in Nara at this
- 23:54point, and it just brings me up like this tiny brick road.
- 24:00Oh it's like the single lane type shit.
- 24:01Kind of, but it was like double lane and there's, it's so early
- 24:05in the morning, there's no one out.
- 24:06And then I just like all of a sudden I see like deer things.
- 24:10I'm like, oh, we're in Nara. It's like it's famous for that.
- 24:13Then all of a sudden there's like a deer just standing in the
- 24:15middle of the road and I'm like, oh, I, I guess we're kind of
- 24:18near it. Then we go to the Family Mart
- 24:22and we're like, we're at the deer.
- 24:24Like it's right there. So I was like, oh, this is cool.
- 24:26So we spent a couple hours there, pet and deer, and it was
- 24:30sick because no, like that's a big tourist attraction.
- 24:32No one was you. Were there so early?
- 24:34Yeah, no one was out. There was like a few Japanese
- 24:36people. The deer are just wild right
- 24:38there. Or is it?
- 24:39Yeah, they're wild deer and they just, like, walk around and
- 24:41they're nice to people. I hate deer over here, as you
- 24:45guys know. I hate deer.
- 24:46Good. I'm just picturing, I'm just
- 24:49picturing Johnny not realizing, right?
- 24:51And, and he just walks outside of a Family Mart and it's just
- 24:55fucking. Deer.
- 24:56I was, dude. I was literally like dumbfounded
- 24:59because I was I just stumbled across it and we wanted to go
- 25:02there. Like that was a plan to go
- 25:03there. So I just stumbled across it.
- 25:06It was crazy. Dude, that's some Johnny.
- 25:09Ash, it was wild. There's a deer place, so I guess
- 25:11that's it. Yeah, I'm really just picturing
- 25:13him like, like literally just walking around.
- 25:16Is that it's that close? Yeah, they just walk around.
- 25:21I'm picturing it's as if you are a city block away from Central
- 25:26Park. Which which Central Park would
- 25:28be full of deer? It's not like the the little
- 25:31downtown in Nara isn't like Central Park, but it's like it's
- 25:36like a little hip Japanese town in a way.
- 25:40So it's like there's shit everywhere.
- 25:41Imagine there was deer in Central Park.
- 25:43They'd be wearing fucking boots and shit.
- 25:46I. Don't think they would.
- 25:48Yeah, I think that they would survive.
- 25:50People would be. I think there's deer in Central
- 25:52Park. I'm pretty sure there is.
- 25:53There's like coyotes. I know there's coyotes.
- 25:55Dude, you know what's by my house right now, which is kind
- 25:58of a problem. We have like a boatload of
- 26:00Bobcats just like fucking going nuts.
- 26:03That's cool. How big are they?
- 26:05How big are they? They're they're like yay big.
- 26:08OK, It's like larger than a cat. It's like they're probably
- 26:10eating animal, they're probably eating pets and stuff.
- 26:12I know and they're catching one. And birds, bro bro bro bro.
- 26:16I haven't seen that stray cat in a minute.
- 26:20No, I don't know if that would happen.
- 26:21It probably would. You think so?
- 26:23Dude butter cat was beefy dude. Yeah, butter cat's gone.
- 26:28And we keep seeing like this other cat and it, and Joe says
- 26:31it's a skinwalker. The cat says.
- 26:34Joe's got to stop smoking that shit.
- 26:35No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, because the, the other
- 26:38time that I saw this new cat, it was, I was like, this is really
- 26:45weird, like and, and I would typically let the cat inside
- 26:49because it was on the porch And I was like, I actually tagged
- 26:52John. I I put it on my story because I
- 26:54tagged John and I was like, what do I do?
- 26:58But it wasn't buttercat and but it was kind of the same.
- 27:01And I was like, something is telling me not to let this cat
- 27:06in. Oh, OK.
- 27:07Like do the hairs on the back of my necks like.
- 27:10What does that mean? I don't know.
- 27:11So you think it's a skin Walker? All I could hear is Joe being
- 27:15the voice of reason and saying shit like, don't open that door.
- 27:20Really. Yeah, I was home alone.
- 27:22Or. So.
- 27:23Maybe it was pretty late. But why does she think that
- 27:25though? What do I know?
- 27:29Am I Joe? I don't know.
- 27:33That's weird. I don't know.
- 27:34I feel like. I most people like.
- 27:37That it gives or that the animals.
- 27:40Some cats are weird bro. They're like, we have a couple
- 27:43shop cats right now and they're just like one of them is just
- 27:46like it just hangs out and waits for food and like.
- 27:49Well, that's what like if you think about the, the, the
- 27:54purpose of living it is to eat so that you can live, fuck and
- 28:01fuck so that you can reproduce. And I'm doing one of those
- 28:07things, sexual. Reproduction.
- 28:10But that that like, that's why the cats and dogs and stray cats
- 28:15and dogs will just like, do those things.
- 28:18Late night at the shop, everyone.
- 28:20What is that? That's AV 8 brother.
- 28:22Oh man, that's ALS. All right, so you, you, you ran
- 28:26into a bunch of deer. It sounds like you had lost in a
- 28:28lot already by this point. I did.
- 28:31What were you getting? Aside from honestly, I don't
- 28:35really know what you buy Pizza buns.
- 28:38My morning routine would be a pizza bun or two and I think
- 28:42chicken. Oh, and just just eat that.
- 28:46It kind of sucks that you don't smoke cigarettes anymore because
- 28:49yeah, that would have been, you seen the wall of them.
- 28:51Like they're, they're just like a lot of them and they're all
- 28:54the same price. Yeah.
- 28:56I was like, I mean, it was whatever to me, but yeah, I
- 28:59would see that and be like whatever.
- 29:03And then I would get my chicken, my pizza and eat it outside,
- 29:06drink my coffee and then start my day.
- 29:08It was kind of sick. But then back back to the Deer
- 29:11Park. So we did that and then I think
- 29:14we stopped at like another Family Mart to pee or something.
- 29:18And then some guy with what's the Forrester STI thing?
- 29:21The older one, we didn't get him over here I think, but we got
- 29:25the turbo 1. So there was an older guy in one
- 29:28of those and my girl like Subarus and stuff.
- 29:32So she's like just like we're just looking at the car, he was
- 29:34inside. Then he comes out and he just
- 29:36like just older Japanese guy, like bowing and like, I'd just
- 29:42go like, nice car. He's like, oh, thank you.
- 29:43You're from America. I said, yeah, I was wearing my
- 29:47my Evo jacket. And then so we're just like
- 29:51talking to him about whatever he did.
- 29:53He used to live in the US in like the 80s or 90s and drove
- 29:56through every state. He said he did a road trip
- 29:58driving through every state. Wow.
- 30:00Yeah. Crazy, but we were he His
- 30:03English was good, so we were just like talking to him.
- 30:05And you, dude, see, this is like the cool shit that I like to
- 30:08hear. Yeah, this is dope.
- 30:10This is just a rando on your trip.
- 30:13Yeah, random guy. And he was just like asking what
- 30:15we were doing in that area because we are like past all
- 30:18like the touristy shit at that point.
- 30:21And I was just like, oh, I'm going to Kansai service.
- 30:25And he's like, oh, you're going on cons eye service.
- 30:28My best friend used to work there in 90s.
- 30:31And I was like, what's like your your best friend worked at cons
- 30:35eye? Like I'm going there right now.
- 30:37Like just just fucking weird. Yeah.
- 30:39So then yeah, whatever, talk to him for a bit.
- 30:41He left cons eye. It was like 9:30 in the morning.
- 30:46Cons eye service wasn't even open yet.
- 30:47So I was like whatever, we just go try to find something over
- 30:50here. As I'm passing cons eye service
- 30:54the fucking clapped out J ZX100 flies past me like just I was
- 30:59driving legally like just in my this kid just goes just like I
- 31:05was like what? You know what's right by there,

- 31:09well, I did. I knew it was near there but not
- 31:12like how close it actually is. Yeah, that's what I told you.
- 31:16I know, but I didn't know it was that close.
- 31:18Mahon is like it's on the way. Like literally like an exit or
- 31:21two from there. Not even an exit.
- 31:23Or it was like, because I didn't take the highway, I took the
- 31:27back way. It's like down the street.
- 31:29Like. 2 minutes down the street. Limitless Auto Fab is a

- 32:26They sell an easy to use wheel fitment tool that is a massive
- 32:29game changer for any shop or enthusiast looking for an easy
- 32:32way to check their wheel fitment.
- 32:33With their user friendly tool you can check a diameter with an
- 32:36offset before you buy your wheels.
- 32:38Gone are the days of ordering wheels and hoping that your math
- 32:41was correct. Just throw their tool on your
- 32:43wheel hub and dial in your specs to see if your dream wheel
- 32:46clears your coilover and fenders before committing to the
- 32:48purchase. Not only can you check wheel
- 32:50fill in with their tool, you can use it to check suspension
- 32:53clearance as well. This is really great for
- 32:55Drifters who are always changing wheel lock and adding angle to
- 32:58their setups. Now you can see if those new
- 33:00suspension arms or tie rods will clear your wheels at full lock

- 34:09three hours just watching everything, and I was just like
- 34:11kind of geeking out. I lost my hearing because, dude,

- 34:58practice stuff. Yeah, yeah.
- 34:59Yeah, so I was just like standing on the wall.
- 35:03I lost my hearing because some of the cars are so loud, just
- 35:06like Sr. ringing in your ear, dude.
- 35:08I had a headache from it and they don't wear helmet on that
- 35:10one. Some I don't think anyone that

- 35:17not all the time. I don't remember, but it was
- 35:21whatever. Cool.

- 35:38anyone's toes. Like I wasn't trying to act
- 35:39like, like I took a couple videos.
- 35:42Yeah, I took a couple videos on the wall and then just like just
- 35:46watching and like walk through the pits and like, didn't bother
- 35:48anyone. Kind of like how I act over
- 35:51here. I was going to say, that's
- 35:53Frankie. Is that literally not what
- 35:55Johnny does? Yeah, no, it's like, I'm so I
- 35:59don't drift, obviously, but I'm so numb to it in a sense where
- 36:02it's like, all right, yeah, I saw the rowdy racing guy or
- 36:06whatever and I was just like, oh, that's cool, but.
- 36:08Hold up. You drift though, You just
- 36:09haven't in a while. Yeah, yeah.
- 36:11That's what I meant to say. But like you kind of just you
- 36:16think. You could drift right now.
- 36:17Yeah, he could. Maybe drifting is easy.
- 36:20I mean, it might take me like if if you give me like a stock Sr.
- 36:24car, I'll probably like get through E town.
- 36:27But like if you gave me like a 400 horsepower car, like I'm
- 36:30going to fucking crash that thing.
- 36:31It's just how it's going to be. I think I would crash a 400
- 36:35horsepower car too. Yeah, exactly.
- 36:37I don't know. I won't be able to do that.
- 36:39But you just gave me like a simple car.
- 36:40I'll probably be able to drift it.
- 36:42I don't know. Well, guess, guess, guess what?
- 36:45What you actually own, Johnny? I know, but trying to win
- 36:49Joshua's car so I don't have to do it and it's not.
- 36:51You, Frankie. Yeah, it's nice.
- 36:53Yeah. Frank Johnny has all of the
- 36:57things right. I don't want it.
- 37:00You got a lot of shit for that car now he.
- 37:01Has the. Whole.
- 37:02Fucking car, dude. Car I just don't have.
- 37:05No, I don't have knuckles and I don't have an inner cooler.
- 37:09Knuckles. He's screaming.
- 37:11Oh God help. Of everything, it's kind of bad.
- 37:13Frank he. Has so many knuckles dude.
- 37:16I might. No, I have knuckles.
- 37:17I don't have like. What?
- 37:19He wants. He wants the B knuckling.
- 37:20Yeah, I don't have B knuckle. That's what I don't have.
- 37:23You got D Nakamura. You're boys with Naoki Nakamura.
- 37:26I went to Japan. I'm not boys with them, but I
- 37:30didn't like care to see any of that stuff when I was over
- 37:32there. So I was like.
- 37:33But you saw it. I saw it and I was happy I saw
- 37:35it, but then I just went to Kansai Service and fucking
- 37:38geeked out for two hours. Just like staring at the shop.
- 37:41Yeah, which reminded me of Faction.
- 37:42I told you this too when I got back.
- 37:44It remind like you didn't go there right when you no.
- 37:47I drove by it and I think I texted you like.
- 37:51I think you sent me a picture of it or something, yeah.
- 37:52Like I, I was literally like, and mainly because you could see
- 37:56the sign from the highway. Yeah.
- 37:58And I was like, off the highway. No way like like Johnny this
- 38:02shit is. Like can you bring us some
- 38:03photos man? Did you go to the truck stop?
- 38:04That's right there. That's where we ate.
- 38:06Kan No, I didn't. I didn't.
- 38:08SAIAI the where? Did I go?
- 38:11Didn't I go to? You went to Kakimoto?
- 38:13Yeah, that shit was sick. Isn't it that right there?
- 38:15That's you at Kakimoto. That place was sick as.
- 38:18That's like a kind of one of the shops at the.
- 38:21It's like 2 shops in one. They have like a whole 4 shop
- 38:25garage. There's a dinosaur shop, no?
- 38:33No, there. Well, there is a website too.
- 38:36Oh. That's a older picture that's
- 38:38way old, but that's kind of so that's the main building.
- 38:43That building on the side isn't there anymore, but I guess that
- 38:46was their office. It's on the other side now.
- 38:48So cool. But it reminded me of Faction in
- 38:51like a way where they have their little showroom and then they
- 38:55didn't have like a lot in there, but they had the parts they sold
- 39:01and other companies parts that they sold.
- 39:04And like, the office is right there.
- 39:08You could see the office from the showroom and there's a
- 39:10waiting room with people just hanging it.
- 39:12It reminded me of here, but like Japan here.
- 39:15Do the dog imagine? It was so sick.
- 39:17I was like just thinking about that the whole time.
- 39:19Not it was not. That's correct.
- 39:21Imagine if the TV wasn't here and that was the same concept,
- 39:24like it was that same little plexiglass window and you would
- 39:26just see the car is like rolling in and out.
- 39:27Well, we were going to put a window in the showroom to the
- 39:31shop, but we just know what's going to happen, so we don't
- 39:34really want to. What it's good?
- 39:36Oh, that the customer. The way they have it there the
- 39:38entire. Time, yeah.
- 39:39That's why they get there. They don't have it like like
- 39:41you, you could see the shop from like like it's like if you walk
- 39:47in here, like you could watch what they're doing, but you
- 39:49can't be like at a window watching them up close because
- 39:53it's maybe not a. Full window Frankie, but like.
- 39:56Yeah, I mean, I like the idea of it.
- 39:57I really it would have been. Sick.
- 39:59But this is like the one room that hasn't been touched, you
- 40:01said. So I think that's kind of fire.
- 40:03Yeah. Yeah.
- 40:04You know what I mean? Like you didn't, you didn't like
- 40:05bust a wall down in any of that. In the office it'd be, it'd be
- 40:08cool, but I feel like it's nice to separate the things too,
- 40:12where it's like. Yeah, I just liked it because
- 40:14you could like see through the. I like the fact that if we put a
- 40:18window there, you could see through the whole.
- 40:20Front you could see through the. Whole.
- 40:22That's called a sight line. Which is kind of sick, yeah.
- 40:24And design, that's a sight line. The amount of sight line I When
- 40:27I would design houses in architecture class, I would try
- 40:29to put as many sight lines as possible.
- 40:31So just being able to see be a certain amount of.
- 40:34One end to the other. Yeah.
- 40:36So like there would be a sight line from like that window.
- 40:39Technically this window straight through.
- 40:41Because then I could see people like kids, like on bikes looking
- 40:43in the window and they. See all the way through the kids
- 40:45the other day, Yeah. Oh my, you can fucking.
- 40:48Yeah, I I would like to do that. You could.
- 40:50You could fucking clear out a room really quick.
- 40:52Yeah, but unfortunately, yeah, people like to stare at their
- 40:57cars being worked on, be annoying.
- 40:59And Japanese people aren't like that, though.
- 41:00They're, they're like, there was a couple guys in the waiting
- 41:03room when I was there and they were just like, they had like
- 41:06magazines like you. They're just like reading and
- 41:08like doing whatever. So they treat that like a dealer
- 41:12in a sense, yeah, but a cater salary aftermarket.
- 41:14Car there's like sound. Cars they work on It sounds like
- 41:16exactly what I tried to build. Yeah, it's the.
- 41:18Same what you want. They work on skylines, they work
- 41:21on Evos, they work on like GR80 sixes like Suzuki Swift sports
- 41:26like so they work. On everything like Japanese
- 41:29like. No, I mean like performance.
- 41:31They specialize in sports cars, but only like like the best
- 41:37sports cars they sell. So like Suzuki Swift sports GR86
- 41:42evos, Subaru the. Same cars, you just think.
- 41:46Yeah, no, it's like the same thing, like this guy.
- 41:48Faction for a freaking. It's literally faction but over
- 41:51there. But they don't do.
- 41:52They're working clopped out two 40s.
- 41:54No shot, dude. No, they they're not like a
- 41:57drift shop. They don't like cater to those
- 41:59people over there. They're more like higher end
- 42:03those people. No, but you know what I mean?
- 42:05Like over there it's like a drift shop is like end style or
- 42:08like. Yeah.
- 42:09So are they still HKS like related or no?
- 42:12They're related, but it's not HKS Kansai, it's Kansai service.
- 42:16They're still like HKS dealer. But before that's, so that's how
- 42:20it was like HKS used to have like their service centres and
- 42:25that was the Kansai Region 1. And then they had like whatever
- 42:28Tokyo one, they stayed in business, but they, they did a
- 42:32lot more of like making their own parts and shit and like
- 42:36doing their own development for parts.
- 42:38And they still were HKS service centre.
- 42:40And then they just like, they still use HKS a lot and like
- 42:44whenever they're rebuilding an engine or anything, they use HKS
- 42:46parts, but they don't, they're not like associated, I guess,
- 42:51like in the HKS name anymore. So dude, that's.
- 42:54Kind of. It's kind of sick.
- 42:56That's kind of fucking awesome. Yeah, it's sick, dude.
- 42:58That shop was insane. I was just like geeking out.
- 43:02How many? Lifts they got?
- 43:06What's the reduction looking? Like how big is their Dick I
- 43:08have? Pictures I need.
- 43:11To know it looks like a big. It's a big shop.
- 43:16It's a pretty big shop for. What they got for over there
- 43:18shit. Because most of the places in
- 43:21Japan aren't that large. They're not surprised me for
- 43:24over there how big it was. I I do know what you're talking
- 43:26about. Lots of the tracks dude.
- 43:29How small is Mahon in person? It's.
- 43:32Tiny. Yeah, it's tiny.
- 43:34That's like the main shop and like there's a Dino shop too,
- 43:37but. And they?
- 43:38RIP down that street, dude, and it's.
- 43:41I didn't see that, but I I could tell it.
- 43:43It's honestly, it looks not bigger in person, but it looks
- 43:49like when you see it in person you're like, oh shit, these
- 43:52motherfuckers are flying. Yeah, it's nuts.
- 43:55Did you see the dirt track? Well, like when you drive in
- 43:58there's like if you go up towards E course, there's like a
- 44:03dirt track. No, I didn't see that.
- 44:04I saw the E. Dude, the dirt track is insane.
- 44:08What about the fiberglass? The fiberglass bathtub factory?
- 44:12Did you see that? Yeah, I saw that.
- 44:14It literally smells like fiberglass, like the moment
- 44:16you're driving. You can't get away from these
- 44:17R33 sedans man Fucking everywhere.
- 44:20Oh yeah, they're everywhere. That looks like the nicest shop
- 44:23in Japan honestly. Let me see, Johnny.
- 44:26What the fuck? Let me.
- 44:26See, it looks real Americanized in there compared to the other.
- 44:29Shops, do you think? Do you think that?
- 44:31Is what like? You see how it looks like an
- 44:34American shop? That's just one of the buildings
- 44:37though. They had like. 3 or 4 multiple
- 44:39of those. They they have a whole like 4
- 44:41car garage here. There's like 5 lists in there,
- 44:4465 lists in there. That actually does kind.
- 44:46Of they do a lot of a lot of work, though they're always
- 44:49busy. I feel like because I I follow
- 44:50them on Instagram and it's like. That red evo is crazy.
- 44:54Yeah, oh, the the demo cars they had outside Voltex even just
- 44:59sitting outside. Where is the Dino Room?
- 45:02Did they show you around or? No, I mean like I, I didn't want
- 45:07to stop. No, they weren't like that.
- 45:08I was like in. I was there for like a while.
- 45:11But I call you Guy Jane again. I bought a bunch of shit.
- 45:13No, they didn't call me Guy Jane again, but I didn't want to like
- 45:16my whole thing when I was there is I didn't want.
- 45:18You didn't. Your phone just turned off.
- 45:21It'll you got to like lock it and unlock it, it'll start

- 45:36Yeah, that's probably like the the owner's car or something
- 45:38there. Is I found like a black Sequoia
- 45:43there? That's it.
- 45:44That was a black. Sequoia on like black wheels.
- 45:47It was on black wheels. That's funny as shit it.
- 45:49Might have been really weird. I was driving through.
- 45:54I kind of guess would be in that area too.
- 45:57Actually it wasn't. It was like more actually.
- 46:00It could be, I don't know. That might be him.
- 46:02How many fucking Coias are there?
- 46:03Dude that was AUSA made car. They did not come right hand
- 46:06drive. Was it a coil or was?
- 46:09It, I don't know, it felt weird looking at it though.
- 46:11I was like, this doesn't look like it's.

- 46:15don't know. Dude, just just start rubbing.
- 46:16Have Lexus right? Just start rubbing the hell out
- 46:18the phone. Rubbing it.
- 46:21Yeah, but I don't know, that shop is crazy.
- 46:23I think I didn't want to step on anyone's toes when I was there,
- 46:25so I wasn't like, I just bought a bunch of shit.
- 46:27I know what you mean. You don't want.
- 46:29To know just like, let me just look around and like, and I
- 46:31asked and I was like, could I take pictures of like the shop?
- 46:34They're like, yeah. And I was like, alright.
- 46:36And then I just like. Do you know how to say that?
- 46:39No, the lady that was working in the front work spoke like she
- 46:42spoke a little bit of English, so.
- 46:44No, no, no, the friend that we made at the shop.
- 46:46Ah, I fucking miss Jay so much. But our friend Jay, I was trying
- 46:51to take a picture of something. Ah, fuck.
- 46:54What the hell did he say? That it was Shasha?
- 47:00Daija Budeska. Same.
- 47:02It's like, can I take a picture? Is it OK if I take a?
- 47:05Picture, Yeah, I kind of heard that a little bit that.
- 47:07Ending part bro that riffs. You should get a shirt that says
- 47:10Daijo Boo on it. No, I'm not.
- 47:11Going to get that the country runs.
- 47:13On that, I actually did hear that, because when I was at the
- 47:16zoo I met up with some wombatter friends.
- 47:20And you call each other WAM batters.
- 47:22Yeah, WAM batters. OK, why are you writing that
- 47:25down? My my friends Mijo and Yuyu
- 47:29shout out to them though, because they showed me around
- 47:30that whole town and it was like I felt like a local that is so
- 47:34sick. It was sick dude.
- 47:36It was like Mijo smoke spoke a little bit of English and you
- 47:41didn't speak like any English but she's working on it.
- 47:44But like it was like still hard to conversate, but we were
- 47:48talking and they showed us around the whole town.
- 47:52Like dude, it was insane. Gave us a bunch of gifts.
- 47:56It was. How are you not about to mention
- 47:58wombat? The wombat stuff already?
- 48:00How? Did I?
- 48:01We met up with them later in the trip too.
- 48:02Oh, that's this is all. What?
- 48:05Yeah, this is dope. You had tour guides?
- 48:07Yeah, dude, it was sick 'cause it was like that whole town, the
- 48:11little town. Akita.
- 48:13I think it's how it's pronounced or Akita, whatever.
- 48:17IIKEDA, there's like there's like lore within the whole town
- 48:22with like car shit, but like that's also there.
- 48:25But the town is just like, you know how Osaka is like Osaka,
- 48:30it's like big as fuck. Yeah, it's hustle bustle, kind
- 48:32of, but not really. Oh, was it like a country town?
- 48:35I fuck with the country town. Sort of, but like it was still a
- 48:39city with like a shopping district.
- 48:41And you know how they have like the little shopping district in
- 48:44Osaka. They had that little, but it was
- 48:47there was no one there. So it was like calm and you
- 48:51could like walk around and relax.
- 48:53So, I mean, we had a great time when we were in that town.
- 48:57How much did you how much did you drink on the trip?
- 49:00It was pretty fire to be able to drink, right?
- 49:03Not a lot surprising because I was driving a lot of it I'm.
- 49:06Shocked because Alex. Alex can drink too, dude.
- 49:08Yeah, she could. I mean, we had our nights where
- 49:10we were drinking, but like, I had the car a lot of the time,
- 49:13so I wasn't like trying to drink and drive into Japan just didn't
- 49:17seem like a good idea. No, that's not.
- 49:19Don't do that. Definitely don't do.
- 49:21That yeah, I mean, like we would go out to dinner and I would
- 49:23have like a beer or whatever, but there was one night we got a
- 49:26little twisted. I didn't dude, I, I wasn't as
- 49:30like, I wasn't as aware of the fact of how blessed we were, but
- 49:34when we were in Osaka, we just walked everywhere.
- 49:38I, I don't remember, like trying to be like, who's going to
- 49:42drive? Yeah, I mean, we were walking
- 49:44everywhere, but I would just like, we'd be like, all right,
- 49:47what are we going to do today? Let's go here.
- 49:48And I would drive there, we would park and we would just
- 49:52like walk the rest of the day. And that's we were going
- 49:55somewhere far and I would drive. But yeah, having a car there was
- 50:00sick because it was like, dude, I couldn't imagine trying to
- 50:03take the train and that's. What we did the whole time.
- 50:05I couldn't imagine you definitely.
- 50:06Were able to see more stuff because.
- 50:08Yeah, you didn't take it once. That's why I liked having.
- 50:10It Yeah, we lived on the train. Yeah, it was.
- 50:12It's nice. It was very nice.
- 50:14You. Don't have to worry about
- 50:15anything, but like I wanted the car because I was like, first of
- 50:18all, like I'm going to get lost. Second of all I want to see like
- 50:22all these. Random things you don't get
- 50:24lost. Well, like that type of stuff,
- 50:26it's a little different because it's like if you get on the
- 50:29wrong train, you're going to be going the wrong way.
- 50:32But like driving, it's like you're outside and you could
- 50:35like, and you're in control. Yeah, yeah.
- 50:37I like that part. Train, I mean, you're under
- 50:40you're under control of where you're heading, but like if you
- 50:44can't read the signs, then you're kind of fucked.
- 50:47It's dude. It's even easier to get lost on
- 50:49the fucking subway in New York. Like.
- 50:50Oh, dude, I hate. It's confusing as fuck.
- 50:52I hate taking the subway. Yeah, I'm scared that I would.
- 50:54I'm scared that mid subway I would have like either a weird
- 51:00silent panic attack where I feel like I got to throw up because
- 51:03I'm drunk and I'm getting the spins.
- 51:05Even a couple weeks ago my phone broke.
- 51:07Why is that funny? Yeah.
- 51:09I can't think of the subway I might.
- 51:10Just throw up, dude. Malcolm, remember when you
- 51:13lived? You think I could say the temp?
- 51:16Well, whatever, Malcolm. Malcolm lived near the train and
- 51:18and we would go out and I would get on the train and immediately
- 51:20I got to throw up. I smile on the.
- 51:23Princess why? Why it makes me emotion sick I
- 51:25get. Emotion sick.
- 51:25Oh, emotion sickness. OK then.
- 51:27You put drinking on top of that. Dude, I got lost on the subway.
- 51:29It's like a couple weeks ago, my phone broke.
- 51:32I got that sounds like a phone broke in the city.
- 51:35And I was like, I had my bike and I was like, well, I got to
- 51:39get back to the George Washington Bridge because that's
- 51:41where I parked and it was raining and I wasn't about to
- 51:43ride my bike all the way up to the George Washington Bridge
- 51:45from lower Manhattan. So I'm like, all right, let me
- 51:50just find whatever train. So I find, I think the one
- 51:54train, I hop on the one train transferred to the L train.
- 51:57And I'm like, I was just, dude, I was like, thankfully I made it
- 52:01back because I would have been fucked.
- 52:02That would that sounds terrible, but that that that that doesn't
- 52:05happen in the Japan ones. No, it was pretty pleasant and
- 52:09like even it's easy to get lost. Is it?
- 52:13Yeah. It's easy to get lost on once
- 52:16you understand. I when we took the train, no
- 52:20bullshit. This is it.
- 52:21You walk up to the thing, the machine has a button, it says
- 52:25English. Click the English button.
- 52:27I navigate it, I click it the ticket printed and it had I
- 52:30think it was literally color-coded.
- 52:32And then we went into the station.
- 52:34I seen there's like ticket has a color lanes color stand on the
- 52:41colour. Yeah, they're on that train a
- 52:43lot more friendly with that type of stuff over there.
- 52:46Over here it's like you buy your ticket and then just get fucked
- 52:48basically. Yeah, like I don't want to do
- 52:50that. I can't even imagine not
- 52:52speaking English and being over here in New York.
- 52:55Like imagine that. Oh my God, somebody's.
- 52:59Like I can't, I can't picture. It dude, a couple weeks ago, me
- 53:02and Alex were going for a walk by the house and some lady was
- 53:06at a bus stop, some Turkish lady, and she's like basically
- 53:11like begging us to take her to like the bus stop.
- 53:14She was at a bus stop. She's like, how do I get to New
- 53:17York? We're like, no, this one is
- 53:18going to Newark, not New York. Someone told her that.
- 53:21This was a confusion there. Yeah, so she's like losing her
- 53:26mind. It's like an old lady and we had
- 53:29to walk like a mile or so to the bus stop, but like we were, we
- 53:33were already on a walk. We were like, yeah, we'll walk
- 53:34there. But like, I couldn't imagine
- 53:36that dude. Like, what the fuck?
- 53:38You're in a different country. Could could you help there?
- 53:41I guess, but we like, I wasn't doing anything anyway.
- 53:44But like, I couldn't imagine that.
- 53:45Like in Japan, I was just like, oh, it's, it's so easy to not
- 53:49get lost because half the stuff's in English or it says.
- 53:53Or somebody could kind of broken English explain to you.
- 53:56Yeah, yeah. And everyone's so willing to
- 53:58help. Like you're in New Jersey and
- 53:59you're lost. Everyone's like get fucked
- 54:01piece. Oh yeah, you're fucked.
- 54:03I don't know. I miss Japan talking about it.
- 54:06Yeah, so do I I wish I was back there right now.
- 54:09OK, I guess if you look, if you, if you look and sound like you
- 54:12are not from here, maybe someone will help you out.
- 54:15Yeah, but like if you if you look like an American even a
- 54:20little bit, no one's helping. You, yeah, you don't have like a
- 54:23crazy accent of some. Sort exactly that's like I'm
- 54:25trying to picture it. Like if.
- 54:28You're If they're lost in the subway, these motherfuckers
- 54:31ain't going to help no one. Yeah.
- 54:33No, no. Like, yeah.
- 54:34Even the MTA workers that are in the booth right there, you could
- 54:38ask them anything and they're going to be like.
- 54:41Yeah, point. Unless they literally look like
- 54:42they're off the boat and they speak no English, then maybe
- 54:45they'll be like OK. No, I feel like that would make
- 54:48me be like I can't even understand you.
- 54:52Yeah, but maybe you'd feel bad. I would feel bad and I'd just be
- 54:54like chair sit. Wait there.
- 54:58You go like, I feel like nowadays it's pretty rare for
- 55:05you to be like such a fucking hateful criminal, you know what
- 55:10I mean? It depends.
- 55:11I mean like, are you? It depends.
- 55:13Because sometimes I get videos of people like walking with the
- 55:15people sucking them in the face or some shit.
- 55:18Shot over there now like. Bullshit.
- 55:19Yeah. Like, yeah, people are getting
- 55:21shot. We.
- 55:22Watched a motorcycle get stolen off the street.
- 55:24Someone just filmed it. Or like, didn't you maybe even
- 55:26want to say something? But they're so I guess they're
- 55:28so scared they're going to get shot that they don't even want
- 55:31to say anything. Kind of bike.
- 55:32Are they stealing? I don't know some ugly Yamaha
- 55:35thing. One of the Mt Whatever.
- 55:38Dude, those are apparently super nice to wheelie.
- 55:41I want to try it. They're super good to steal too
- 55:43man. It's not hard to steal a
- 55:45motorcycle. This is not a hurry.
- 55:48I think in your head, I'll give you 2 seconds to think about it.
- 55:50How would you steal a motorcycle right now?
- 55:52I'd roll it into the back of a van.
- 55:54Boom, we're gone. The easiest way.
- 55:56Like what That's like, that's like the easiest thing to steal.
- 56:00I feel like that's been a normal thing.
- 56:02Heavier the better. I'm surprised they're not
- 56:04stealing shit like. No one even locks up a bicycle.
- 56:07Yeah. Oh, in Japan?
- 56:09Everywhere. And I'm like, like, I was just
- 56:12thinking like, oh, I could like, we wanted to go for a bike ride.
- 56:15And I was like, I could just take this person's bike and just
- 56:17be back in like an hour or two and like, they won't even
- 56:19notice. That's fine.
- 56:21I was gonna, but I was like, like, it's whatever, but yeah.
- 56:26Yeah, it's crazy. I would leave a note.
- 56:29It's so in English, the the way things work over there, to me,
- 56:32it baffled me being from like New York area where it's like
- 56:37you got to like I do. I'm like basically watching my
- 56:40car all night to make sure it's not getting fucked with like.
- 56:44And you live in the suburbs of New Jersey.
- 56:45Yeah, and you still have to over there.
- 56:48It's like they just leave like shit.
- 56:50Dude I have a lot of break insurance in our neighborhood.
- 56:52What about up here is that? Not necessarily.
- 56:54I mean where my? Fucking Belleville is bad.
- 56:57Where? Where the fuck Jesus lives?
- 56:59He lives in a Bloomfield. Bloomfield, dude, Bloomfield is
- 57:02bad. It's more so so.
- 57:04It's a rich town. It has to be a rich town next to
- 57:08a not that rich town and then the rich town.
- 57:11This is how they do. It is the one that gets it, but
- 57:13I I don't. My parents area, so you know,
- 57:15like DuMont, that whole area. DuMont yeah.
- 57:19It's so that they get fucked with a lot over there, like
- 57:23closer that whole area because it's a rich town and it's far
- 57:27away from Newark to where like, they know they're going to find
- 57:30something and be able to get back to Newark without quickly.
- 57:34Yeah. Like the cops in like the towns
- 57:37that are surrounding Newark that are nice, they're watching all
- 57:40night to make sure nothing's happening.
- 57:42These small towns, they have fucking one or two cops on duty
- 57:45at night. Do you remember my parents
- 57:48house? That was like the easiest place
- 57:50to steal. Oh yeah, right off 17.
- 57:51Just bro 17. 17. Bang, yeah.
- 57:54That's. Gone.
- 57:55That's what they aim for is like having a highway like that,
- 57:58that's not like the Parkway or something nearby and like you
- 58:03could just hop on it Parkway. Is even better.
- 58:05It is, but you got to deal with. Do you think you could?
- 58:07Get away. Yeah, that, that's what I was
- 58:08thinking of. Right away you get on the
- 58:10Parkway. I'm good on the.
- 58:11Parkway, you have like a bunch of different obstacles.
- 58:13You got a toll booth, you got the cops that hang out in the
- 58:15middle. The.
- 58:16Cops are so rare on the Parkway though.
- 58:18What? Up north, yeah, there's like
- 58:21none up. Dude, But the moment that you
- 58:22move, oh, you would just hightail out to New York.
- 58:26Yeah, Newark, just get off like, yes.
- 58:29I guess when you start going when.
- 58:30You go South, dude. You got the ones.
- 58:33You got toll booth number one. You got the first cop that
- 58:36you're gonna run into right past Paramus Park, like that little
- 58:39exit 57. There's I've got pulled over by
- 58:41that one right there. First one right there.
- 58:43Boom, right? On the Parkway.
- 58:44Yeah. Like right when you pass DCH
- 58:47Honda like exit 57, there's like a cop that sits right fucking
- 58:50there. I don't know how you don't know
- 58:52what I'm talking about. It's like.
- 58:53I don't really drive. It's how you get to Elmwood Park
- 58:56and Pizza Town is like that exit.
- 58:57That's how you get to like. That's a little further down.
- 59:00That's the next exit. But that's where the.
- 59:03Honda is like passing over Route 4.
- 59:05There's like a cop that sits in that median.
- 59:06That's one. You got to go to the toll booth
- 59:09and then you start to get into the area where there's like cops
- 59:11in the middle that do this thing, like where they're just
- 59:14parked like this. They're just.
- 59:15I'm just going to go with your opinion on this because I I, I
- 59:17don't think I drive enough on the Parkway I guess.
- 59:19Dude, I I wouldn't I think I. Rarely take it.
- 59:23I've had like these. You don't think it like?
- 59:24I go 90 miles an hour in the fast lane Route 17 every single
- 59:27day though and I get and no one stops me.
- 59:29That's. Insane.
- 59:30What do we do? Every day going up to the
- 59:31mountain, I'll be going 8590 and I'll pass cops and I'm like,
- 59:35they don't do. It he's good in 8590.
- 59:38Ever since COVID, they don't do anything, but before COVID, 72
- 59:41miles an hour, they're pulling. You out?
- 59:42I'm so paranoid. I don't don't do that.
- 59:44I I I go 5 over like our parents taught us to do and that's it.
- 59:50That's that's how it used to be. That's why I'm so paranoid to
- 59:52know about all these cops. 80 miles an hour, I would get
- 59:54stopped. They'd be like, what are you
- 59:55fucking crazy? And now I'm going 90 and they're
- 59:58just watching them go by. Loud exhaust ticket I've gotten.
- 1:00:01Every fucking week. I've gotten countless amount
- 1:00:05it's like 54 pre court fees and then the online fee it's like
- 1:00:12$54 and I've been driving with no muffler dude.
- 1:00:20I got one down the street from here.
- 1:00:21How? What are you doing?
- 1:00:24I made a right on the red bag. Right, there was probably a
- 1:00:28sign. That I mean the key, the key to
- 1:00:30not getting tickets to is staying on highways around here
- 1:00:32because when once you get into a town, it's fucking done.
- 1:00:35Especially like the more money the town has, like, the better
- 1:00:39the town is, they're gonna pull you over more often.
- 1:00:41That's you think. So 100%.
- 1:00:43Smaller money towns around here you're getting fucked with right
- 1:00:46away. Like this shit, it's like you
- 1:00:48made a right turn on red. It's like, yeah, it's the middle
- 1:00:50of the night, dude. Unless they read your plate and
- 1:00:53they see you're from that town, then you're fine.
- 1:00:55They're not gonna fuck with you. Not completely true, but yeah.
- 1:00:58Not yeah, not completely true, but most of the time you're
- 1:01:00that's. Your age too, dude.
- 1:01:02The Bergenfield cops are bad mouth.
- 1:01:03Did you ever fucking get pulled over by a Bergenfield?
- 1:01:05I've. Never been pulled over.
- 1:01:06No, they're cool they they never fucked with me.
- 1:01:08They're cool, they. Fucked with me so badly because.
- 1:01:11You weren't from that area. Yeah.
- 1:01:13So I think that that matters a lot.
- 1:01:14It does. It does.
- 1:01:15If you're from that town, you're usually golden.
- 1:01:18The other day, like last weekend, I took the IS out for a
- 1:01:22stroll. That's what I called it because
- 1:01:23I was like, I picked it up from daycare at the hiding spot,
- 1:01:28drove it home, drove it home OK, because I knew I was going to be
- 1:01:33driving it all weekend because I, I Roslyn had a house warming.
- 1:01:36I was like that's an hour long drive.
- 1:01:39It was going to be 90° and I was like, I was like perfect IS
- 1:01:45weather. And then so then I was like,
- 1:01:49yeah, I'm going to take the shit for a stroll.
- 1:01:50Take it to Rosins. It's an hour drive back home.
- 1:01:53It's another hour drive back home to the hiding spots,
- 1:01:55another hour drive. So then, yeah, when I was going
- 1:02:01home, it was like one or something and like in the
- 1:02:08morning and a cop for the first time in my life like in not in a
- 1:02:15while in a while it has the cop went like hit a 180 so hard.
- 1:02:21I know all my lights work. I know what do I have like
- 1:02:25allowed no front plate. I know all my lights work.
- 1:02:27But yeah, the car is like yellow and whatever pulls A180 I'm like
- 1:02:32on the road that goes to my town or to my house.
- 1:02:35And I feel like the cop ran my tag saw that I lived in that
- 1:02:40town. The car is rumbling and bumbling
- 1:02:43at this hour and and just almost like annoyingly had to let me
- 1:02:48go. Yeah, he probably read the
- 1:02:51plate. It was like, oh, he lives down
- 1:02:52the. Street.
- 1:02:52He's literally like a mile from home.
- 1:02:54Like this guy's literally trying to get home.
- 1:02:55That's, that's what they do, They, they realize like, all
- 1:02:59right, like this kid's just trying to fucking get home.
- 1:03:01Especially now though dude I feel like COVID changed.
- 1:03:03Something. Yeah it did.
- 1:03:04COVID changed a lot but having a modified car is so easy over
- 1:03:07here now. Don't jinx it, I.
- 1:03:09Can't you know what? It might not be COVID either.
- 1:03:10It might be the whole. Like people hate fucking cops
- 1:03:13after that whole thing too. What you think?
- 1:03:15That they're they're on thin. Dude, maybe they just don't want
- 1:03:18to. It's harder for them to.
- 1:03:20Cripple people, much like I'm trying to be safe, you know what
- 1:03:23I mean? Like still be a cop and you need
- 1:03:24to be. A cop.
- 1:03:25They did loosen the group up too.
- 1:03:26And don't don't forget to be a cop.
- 1:03:28Defund the police. No, it's also a lot easier to go
- 1:03:32to court now and just be like, I didn't do this shit and you get
- 1:03:36away with it with like whatever fucking bullshit tickets he was
- 1:03:39going to give you. So they don't even want to deal
- 1:03:40with like they'd rather fuck with someone that they know they
- 1:03:45could get a ticket on and that like they're just going to pay
- 1:03:48it in a sense, you know, like. What, like a speed?
- 1:03:50Like, they're not going to give you a loud muffler ticket
- 1:03:53because they know you're just probably going to go to court if
- 1:03:55you're not going to pay it. But if you really want to be an
- 1:03:58asshole, you could just go to court and be like, oh, measure
- 1:04:00my shit with the fucking decibel meter, dude.
- 1:04:03And they don't want to deal with that shit.
- 1:04:04The decibel meter. Have you ever asked the cop to
- 1:04:07pull that out? No.
- 1:04:08It doesn't exist. Don't ask.
- 1:04:11Don't ask the cop to do that because.
- 1:04:14My car ain't passing. Yeah, no, but one of the first
- 1:04:17times I ever got pulled over for that, I the website said
- 1:04:22something about it, like it gave me the decibel meter.
- 1:04:25But I asked the cop, I'm like, well.
- 1:04:28You can bring it up in court though.
- 1:04:29This thing passes a decibel meter test like can you can't
- 1:04:33you just check it? And the guy, the cop was like
- 1:04:37decibel meter or something. He.
- 1:04:39Doesn't even know what that word is.
- 1:04:40He. Gave me the ticket.
- 1:04:43Decimal. Decimal meter trying.
- 1:04:45To have me do math right now. Like 17 years old, like I didn't
- 1:04:49know any better. I've never gotten pulled over.
- 1:04:51Fun fact, guess what? When you get pulled over, just
- 1:04:54be fucking nice and don't they don't fuck around you.
- 1:04:57Want to talk about this shit right now?
- 1:04:58Yeah, neither. Do I get angry?
- 1:05:00Right. Now this is how I give the cop
- 1:05:01my wallet. I'm like, yo, here it is, it is
- 1:05:03here's my wall. I'm.
- 1:05:04Going to not get pulled over, suck his fucking cock and just
- 1:05:07be as nice as you can. Then when he leaves, curse him
- 1:05:08off and that's it. That's the easiest way to go.
- 1:05:11That's like the old school way, only way pulled over.
- 1:05:13Like you just got to jerk his fucking Dick off and that's it.
- 1:05:16And then hopefully Malcolm, he agrees to it and leaves.
- 1:05:20Jerk it. What is wrong with you?
- 1:05:22My fucking place. Do you remember?
- 1:05:26Do you remember? Do you remember this tip?
- 1:05:28Did you ever get this tip if you held like this on the steering
- 1:05:31wheel? Like the triangle?
- 1:05:33You won't get shot. It means that you're like,
- 1:05:35you're down with it or whatever, like the you're down with the
- 1:05:38couch or whatever. That's a thing.
- 1:05:40None of you heard this shit. What?
- 1:05:41No, I've seen people like do that though when they get pulled
- 1:05:44over. I'm doing that now.
- 1:05:46That means I got APBA. Card, I'm just hand that shit to
- 1:05:48him if you want to give me a ticket.
- 1:05:49What colour is your? What colour is your PBA card?
- 1:05:51I don't. Even know the cop, the cops came
- 1:05:55to my one GBA card and my boss goes to the the golf outing
- 1:06:00every year that they do. He's just like handed a bunch of
- 1:06:02PBA cards. I just I don't even know what it
- 1:06:04looks. Like a bunch of money in there.
- 1:06:05Next time I get pulled over I'm just blasted Charlie Kirk song.
- 1:06:11We are Charlie Kirk. Johnny, that's from 2019.
- 1:06:16Bro it says 2026 on it. You're good dude.
- 1:06:19It doesn't matter if it's fucking last year or the year
- 1:06:20before that. You're still sorry.
- 1:06:21I'm still going to hand it to him.
- 1:06:22He's probably going to take it from me and whatever.
- 1:06:24Feel don't don't flip it around again just in case somebody
- 1:06:26screenshots that it makes APBA card out of that but.
- 1:06:29Yeah, I. Have two different Can you show
- 1:06:30it to Frankie one more time? Did dad have the twin towers on
- 1:06:33it or am I bugging? It did.

- 1:06:39Frankie. Only has the twin towers.
- 1:06:44Isn't is that an? Interesting.
- 1:06:46It's a state card, that's why. What's the Why are they putting
- 1:06:49the Twin Towers on you? Know how these fucking.
- 1:06:52What are you talking about? How the back the blue shit is?
- 1:06:54Bro that was like the most important violent day of their
- 1:06:57life. OK, we should move on the
- 1:06:59different. Topic.
- 1:07:00Yeah, move on that topic. Honestly, no cops in Japan, I'll
- 1:07:02tell you that it. Wasn't that weird?
- 1:07:05It was like. Yeah, like I'd see them every
- 1:07:07once in a while pulling someone over and then that was it.
- 1:07:10What Car? It was the Crown, The car.

- 1:08:35You turn over, you open your eyes, and that thing's not.
- 1:08:38The photo on the right, that one, this it it, it.
- 1:08:40No, no, no. All the way to the right, Damn
- 1:08:42it. On the IT was on the old.
- 1:08:44Photo. Oh sorry, let me find it.
- 1:08:46Anyway, you look down on the side of your bed.
- 1:08:48That one, yeah, that you look over to the left and that's
- 1:08:50their Yeah, I'm going to be. Like that's a little cool.
- 1:08:52They're different than hers and. I feel like hey.
- 1:08:56Hey. They're definitely different in
- 1:08:58person because they're like in the water.
- 1:09:00And stuff the face straight on photo it's.
- 1:09:03Yeah, it's a little scary. I don't.
- 1:09:05Yeah, we went there. I met my friend, went to Evo,
- 1:09:08the US Evo. We had dinner.
- 1:09:10Still didn't do. Much.
- 1:09:11He had AUS Evo. Yeah, He imported it, Yeah.
- 1:09:14Still didn't do much car shit. I don't know.
- 1:09:17He don't know. What he was explaining to me is
- 1:09:20the grass is always greener on the other side.
- 1:09:22And I get that like people want 180's over here, but.
- 1:09:25There has to be like a reason. He just likes America.
- 1:09:29I think like a lot of them, like US.
- 1:09:31And you got to remember like what we do with those cars, they
- 1:09:37don't really do over there. So they look at us like, oh,
- 1:09:40they have like all this crazy shit, like 800 horsepower.
- 1:09:44Like they don't do that. So they're like, oh, what they
- 1:09:46have is so cool. So they look it as like.
- 1:09:49You bought that shit because it's left hand drive.
- 1:09:50I feel like that market, like our market for that here is like
- 1:09:55that, right? And God forbid the US start some
- 1:10:02start some trails. You know what I mean?
- 1:10:04What do you mean like like the the the US evo scene has, I
- 1:10:11don't think even as far as I can remember, dude, it was always
- 1:10:15like, don't fuck with a evo with no wing.
- 1:10:18They're always fast. Yeah, it's just not.
- 1:10:20It's not like that over there, that that's all the same shit
- 1:10:22over there where? It's like I kind of stocked
- 1:10:24Turbo basically kind of forgot about that.
- 1:10:26They don't do that there. Yeah, they don't at all.
- 1:10:28And it's like, I see the stuff they build over there and I'm
- 1:10:31like, holy shit. Like they're.
- 1:10:33Really nice. Yeah, I saw a lot of nice ones.
- 1:10:36Like and they look like they drive so.
- 1:10:38Well, yeah, like they just do like a bunch of cool stuff to
- 1:10:41them. We just like kids over here just
- 1:10:43fucking bolted fucking AMS turbo kit.
- 1:10:46I was. Going to say they made a good
- 1:10:47engine. It's a 4G6 tree.
- 1:10:48That's the reason, because everyone here was like, oh, you
- 1:10:50can boost this shit to the moon. Yeah, but over there they don't.
- 1:10:53They they treated it kind of differently.
- 1:10:55Yeah, it was more like a grip fucking dragon.
- 1:10:58Car good everyday car that's like a sports car yeah that's
- 1:11:01fun you could bring it to the track and drive to work that's
- 1:11:04how they look at that car yeah so he he does the same thing
- 1:11:07with it I mean like he doesn't have anything it's stock car
- 1:11:09with intercooler pipes and. Like a like a cat like.
- 1:11:13Not even exhaust. The Kansai service car like the
- 1:11:16demo car right? Probably what makes like 600.
- 1:11:19Not even no like I mean some of their cars are probably crazy
- 1:11:23because HK has sold a turbo kit but.
- 1:11:25I know, but I. Don't their demo Evo 10 had they
- 1:11:30had two of them, one had a HKS GT2 turbo, probably made 400
- 1:11:34horsepower and that's it. I know, but isn't it crazy that
- 1:11:39you take a hop skip away and a Patterson or Passaic and I
- 1:11:42guarantee you there's going to be an Evo in that town that will
- 1:11:44blow the fucking doors off? Oh yeah.
- 1:11:46I could go down the street and find.
- 1:11:48One, it's insane, like I never I this is really kind of blowing
- 1:11:50my mind. I never thought about it like
- 1:11:52that way like that way at all like that.
- 1:11:54They don't use the evos for the same.
- 1:11:56I realized that when once I started like seeing what people
- 1:11:58do with that car over there. And like the circuit racing type
- 1:12:02of deal, Yeah, and. Even when I was.
- 1:12:03Our tracks here are bigger too. Yeah, they are.
- 1:12:05But no one tracks their evil over here like some people.
- 1:12:08Obviously they do all the time. Not a lot.
- 1:12:10Not a lot of people do. But even, I mean, we've got drag
- 1:12:12strips, they don't have too many drag.
- 1:12:14Strips over there, right? No, no one.
- 1:12:15Drag Race is evil over there. Yeah, but what was I going to?
- 1:12:19Say I'm just picturing the like Wangan English.
- 1:12:22That's the one thing like it's like the highway racing.
- 1:12:25Smokey is heating up his tires. But I think like over there,
- 1:12:28they're like, I'm just going to buy a GTR if they're going to do
- 1:12:31something like that, like why would you buy an EVO?
- 1:12:34It's. The thing is I don't think their
- 1:12:36Wangan cars are even that fast either.
- 1:12:38Like I think they all stick around. 4 to 600 horsepower is
- 1:12:41crazy. I feel like probably not.
- 1:12:43But there are people like Smokey in those cars that we like build
- 1:12:46some crazy shit. Yeah, I mean, I definitely saw
- 1:12:48some crazy shit when I was there.
- 1:12:51So it's not as easy to do that there, right?
- 1:12:53Crazy laws and like you can't modify the car and you got to
- 1:12:56get inspected maybe? You could, but there's it's like
- 1:12:59here, it's like there's ways around shit, but.
- 1:13:01Here's so easy. When I was talking to my friend
- 1:13:04about, it's like, he was just saying like, it's kind of hard
- 1:13:08to like do what we do. Like you need a catalytic
- 1:13:13converter. You need like all this stuff.
- 1:13:16So he's like most of the people just like do some cosmetic
- 1:13:19things that could still pass inspection.
- 1:13:22And like, they just leave it at that because it's like, how much
- 1:13:26horsepower can you make with a cat still in the car?
- 1:13:28You know, like. Yeah, that's the.
- 1:13:30That's a big problem for sure. You.
- 1:13:32Can get a high flow cat. You could but it's still it's
- 1:13:35like a lot of the parts they sell aren't like they don't sell
- 1:13:393 1/2 inch exhaust for the cars. Yeah.
- 1:13:41Malcolm, can you look up what happens to you if you're caught
- 1:13:43with no catalytic converter on the street in Japan?
- 1:13:46Just see if they see if AI will give you an answer for that.
- 1:13:48They. Cut your toes off like.
- 1:13:49I want to know how bad the fine is.
- 1:13:51Dude I'm so hungry for a fam chicky right now.
- 1:13:54They probably take your inspection away or something.
- 1:13:57You're shocking. Yeah.
- 1:13:59That's crazy. You can't drive a car anymore.
- 1:14:01There is no loophole. Loophole or fine.
- 1:14:05You can pay to make it street legal.
- 1:14:08It's just you, you fail. Shocking.
- 1:14:11Fines and penalties, severe fines.
- 1:14:12You can face massive fines that quickly climb into the thousands
- 1:14:16of dollars. OK, that's different than here.
- 1:14:19You'll receive heavy demerit points on your OK, that's like
- 1:14:22points I guess on your driver's license, which can lead to
- 1:14:25immediate suspension, not just adding up vehicle impoundment.
- 1:14:30They'll impound the car too. That wouldn't happen here
- 1:14:32either. They literally do that here.
- 1:14:35I don't know. They were not for a catalytic.
- 1:14:37Converter, yes. They do I.
- 1:14:39Shut the fuck. Up I was driving through DMV
- 1:14:42area and there was a fucking sniffer machine on the ground
- 1:14:46and you can only imagine if there was a cop.
- 1:14:49In the ground of the street. No, like at an on ramp there was
- 1:14:54a stop sign where there was a box with a fucking thing on it
- 1:14:58and I can only imagine if there was a cop there standing
- 1:15:01waiting. Like pass pass pass fail over
- 1:15:05there. Wait, there's a sniffer on a
- 1:15:07public St. Yeah.
- 1:15:08That's crazy unmanned, just sitting.
- 1:15:10There dude, I wish, I wish Javi we it was literally during.
- 1:15:12The mid 1970 something car, you're going to get a ticket.
- 1:15:16I'm sure antiques and stuff are different, but that that.
- 1:15:18Literally that only counts for the newer like 25 and up 25 and
- 1:15:25newer. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying
- 1:15:29is like if you have an old car, and that's only New Jersey too,
- 1:15:32not every state like. Virginia.
- 1:15:33But that's where I was. DMV area.
- 1:15:35Oh, you said Virginia. OK.
- 1:15:36Delaware, Maryland, Virginia that I.
- 1:15:38Was like what are you talking about?
- 1:15:40This is literally that's crazy. It was.
- 1:15:43So wild because they're they have signs leading up to it and
- 1:15:46what I was told yeah, there it is.
- 1:15:49And then I was like, have that sign said emissions checking
- 1:15:56device ahead. My car would fail.
- 1:15:58Dude. And you know.
- 1:15:59What does it take? A photo of your plate?
- 1:16:01Wait, wait, wait. I sure as shit hope not.
- 1:16:04How does that even fucking work accurately?
- 1:16:06Dude, because like OK, Koya don't got no.
- 1:16:11Cats. You could say it is fine.
- 1:16:13You could say it. 18 miles per gallon. 17 miles per gallon
- 1:16:15still 12 miles per gallon tone but.
- 1:16:17The confusing part for me is that this is in Virginia.
- 1:16:21Dude they hate everything in Virginia.
- 1:16:22You can't even go over the speed limit there.
- 1:16:24You get arrested. Well this is the good part about
- 1:16:26America. There is 50 options. 51 options.
- 1:16:30You don't need to fucking live in a communist fucking dude.
- 1:16:33That's crazy. That's the thing about Japan is
- 1:16:35when I was there like you saw crazy shit like I was at a up
- 1:16:39garage and some fucking S14 pulls in and it's the most
- 1:16:42clapped out car I've ever seen in my life.
- 1:16:44Like loudest fucking Sr. I've ever heard.
- 1:16:46Just guys pulling in like and I'm like this guy could drive
- 1:16:51around on the street like fucking Hoonigan sticker on the
- 1:16:53side. You don't.
- 1:16:54That's crazy. So you just roll the dice that
- 1:16:57day I guess. But you're like, you see that
- 1:17:00shit around? Yeah, it's completely insane.
- 1:17:03The people just want to buy they.
- 1:17:05Should revolt and fucking hang everyone in.
- 1:17:06There, what the heck? Yeah.
- 1:17:08It was so crazy. And then it was even crazier
- 1:17:11when I seen that box on the ground.
- 1:17:13I was like wait. People should be blowing those
- 1:17:15up. Yeah, that was real, dude.
- 1:17:17Probably got blown up already. Part of me, dude, I was pretty
- 1:17:20delirious at that hour. Part of me thought, what if
- 1:17:25somebody just clean ranted home. That's like New York City doing
- 1:17:30the whole fucking you're you're just driving down the road and
- 1:17:32the light flip and you're like, what was that?
- 1:17:34You're like, oh, that's a speed camera.
- 1:17:35You were going faster than 25 miles an hour.
- 1:17:38Well, there's. What there's the there's the
- 1:17:39same camera thing in Georgia right now, and I think there's
- 1:17:41people going around like cutting them down.
- 1:17:44Interesting. Yeah, I think I'm just.
- 1:17:45Having flock cameras everywhere, I'm scared of the flock.
- 1:17:48There's a. You hear about this?
- 1:17:49What the fuck is this? Oh boy.
- 1:17:51You know, it's like all the cameras that you just see that
- 1:17:54the police. All of them.
- 1:17:55There's more. We've we've realized there's two
- 1:17:57different types in this area. There's flock cameras and then
- 1:18:01there's these other cameras that aren't even talked about yet.
- 1:18:03They just went up on Route 17. There's tons of them.
- 1:18:06They ain't going anywhere. The one right here.
- 1:18:08Yeah, I saw that one. On a highway, there's a camera.
- 1:18:11They call them traffic cameras that.
- 1:18:14See, there's a website calleddflock.org and that one
- 1:18:18doesn't come up on. I thought no, no.
- 1:18:20They're not. Yeah, they don't come up on
- 1:18:21there. That's crazy.
- 1:18:22So there's these things called flock cameras.
- 1:18:24Actually, the dude flock. Dot org.
- 1:18:25The guy who made this company was on Rogan literally like last
- 1:18:28week and I'm like yo fuck this guy.
- 1:18:31Launch the map. Launch the map I think.
- 1:18:33I think these are the cameras that I was talking about that
- 1:18:36are in Georgia. Maybe.
- 1:18:38Dude, last week I was on here there was $90,000.
- 1:18:41Seven thousand were registered. You know what they say, it'll
- 1:18:45make the streets safer. You got to zoom out.
- 1:18:47There's not a lot over here, but they're they're like on the
- 1:18:51highways, like they're on 17 and shit.
- 1:18:54They're they are over here though.
- 1:18:55They're they're somewhere over here.
- 1:18:56Yeah, there's a lot. Over.
- 1:18:58Here, look how many there are in our region.
- 1:18:59Yeah, like it's. Hold on, Hold on, Malcolm.
- 1:19:01Stay right there. I could without saying where I
- 1:19:05live. I can see it from here.
- 1:19:06So I just want to see something. Bless you.
- 1:19:08There's a lot by you, Carl. Yeah, why is there so many by
- 1:19:11me? See how there's a lot in New
- 1:19:13York City? Yeah, what the fuck?
- 1:19:16I mean not by, not by Connor. Though I heard something about
- 1:19:20these cameras where where it might not be these.
- 1:19:22These, I think only they only can.
- 1:19:25Like they read your plate. Yeah, it's only plate stuff.
- 1:19:27But then there's this other thing.
- 1:19:29To a lot of shit with these cameras.
- 1:19:30Yeah, but there's other thing in Chicago that they have.
- 1:19:34It's called like a gun spotter or something.
- 1:19:36So if a gunshot goes off, it like triangulates and tries to
- 1:19:39figure out where it's coming from.
- 1:19:40I was like, OK, that's a little different.
- 1:19:42Yeah, I. Could see A use for.
- 1:19:44That yeah, I'd have to get into more details on that, but that's
- 1:19:46a little different. This shit.
- 1:19:47Go fuck yourself. So what's the new one you're
- 1:19:49talking about on Seven On Seven we.
- 1:19:50Haven't figured it out yet. Well, we have.
- 1:19:52I guess they're called traffic cameras.
- 1:19:54But they're still using it to do whatever with all your
- 1:19:56information. Dude these cameras are insane.
- 1:19:59When you see some of them, you're going to be like, why?
- 1:20:02This is new, I drive on 17 on the fucking.
- 1:20:04Dude, it's right on the entrance, right?
- 1:20:06Here So the first thing I noticed was these little red
- 1:20:08dots. I'd be driving and I go, I never
- 1:20:10noticed that power box there. How did I never notice that?
- 1:20:13It's just like a little red dot. I'm like I never.
- 1:20:15Noticed I noticed dots like that yeah and I don't.
- 1:20:19You know me. Because I don't like I have like
- 1:20:21a weird random fear of like red lights in the dark.
- 1:20:25And I see and I'm like, what is it?
- 1:20:26And I I saw them for like a month and then Louis came here
- 1:20:30and Louis goes, they put a camera up by by your drift spot.
- 1:20:34I said, what? And he's like, yeah, like
- 1:20:36there's a camera at that exit or the exit ramp or whatever.
- 1:20:40I was like pointing right towards when you're getting on.
- 1:20:43Yeah, I was like, well, it's probably, I was like, it's
- 1:20:45probably for the World Cup thing.
- 1:20:46They're probably putting cameras up and he's like, that shit
- 1:20:49ain't moving and. I'm like, he's not moving.
- 1:20:50What? And then I drove, I saw that
- 1:20:52one, and I was like, OK, then the one by Hackensack on Route
- 1:20:5617 and Route 80 is fucking massive, dude.
- 1:20:59Yeah, it's like a huge metal. Route 80, OK, you know, by Wawa.
- 1:21:03You know where you would go. You'd go for juicy platters.
- 1:21:06Yeah, yeah, yeah, that. Oh, that hasn't been there in a
- 1:21:09minute. It's right at that light and
- 1:21:11it's huge. I don't get why they put one
- 1:21:12right here though, because there's no fucking traffic right
- 1:21:15here and it's because. They don't care about that.
- 1:21:17I got that weird. They just want.
- 1:21:18To read they just want those there to the.
- 1:21:20Hairs on the back of my neck stood up again.
- 1:21:22I did not like that. I mean, I don't think it's going
- 1:21:25to affect us at all, but. Like, yeah, it's not.
- 1:21:27They can't, they can't watch it 24/7.
- 1:21:30Be like you drifted. Yeah, they're not going to.
- 1:21:31That's not going to happen really, unless that's.
- 1:21:33What you're concerned about is the stranger.
- 1:21:35I mean, that's all I have. That's all I'm worried about.
- 1:21:37Sort of, but like. I don't think that's actually
- 1:21:40going to affect drifting at all, but it's going to affect
- 1:21:42takeovers for sure. So that's a good.
- 1:21:44Thing that and that's chill. They catch you doing something
- 1:21:47they could be like we know you went in this like they could tie
- 1:21:49you to exactly things. That's what the problem.
- 1:21:52You know how back in the day you could just leave and you could
- 1:21:54just go somewhere and know where you are?
- 1:21:56No, now they're going to know where I'm going.
- 1:21:58Yeah. You can't do that like it
- 1:22:00doesn't matter. Type in your plate number.
- 1:22:02And they're going to wait for you to pass.
- 1:22:04These cameras to go home, they don't even they they know you
- 1:22:08did something, they type in your plate number and it'll register
- 1:22:11up on whatever cameras you passed.
- 1:22:13And flock cameras don't even need your plate.
- 1:22:15They just go, oh, it's what kind of car?
- 1:22:17Oh, it's that car, and it's this car.
- 1:22:18Oh, you can't do the whole you can't see my plate number thing
- 1:22:21anymore. They're using AI so now.
- 1:22:23Yeah, I don't even know that. Yeah, the Flock cameras are
- 1:22:26real, real good. How can I get?
- 1:22:28Over but we have to you know we have to keep our streets safe
- 1:22:31yeah I there's there's cities that have I got rid of them like
- 1:22:38look. In Newark, there's none.
- 1:22:39In Newark, like 1. They probably banned them.
- 1:22:42They probably banned them. Let's and it's always the cities
- 1:22:45that need them the most. Yeah, Jersey City.
- 1:22:47Jersey City has one. Yeah, they probably banned them.
- 1:22:50Dude there's like a thing now where it's like flock cameras
- 1:22:52are racist. They probably are.
- 1:22:55That's what they that's what they're saying now.
- 1:22:56So. So all the cities that actually
- 1:22:58need them and have high crime probably won't even get them
- 1:23:00can. You keep going West, Malcolm,
- 1:23:03just like right where you are. Yeah, but then look at all the
- 1:23:05nice towns. They're just everywhere.
- 1:23:06Yeah. They're everywhere.
- 1:23:07Dude so you can get all the people for fucking ridiculous
- 1:23:09tickets. Dude, what the fuck?
- 1:23:14You're fucked. What the fuck?
- 1:23:16They're coming out. Dude, no, I'm going to look for
- 1:23:18him. Look at.
- 1:23:18Dude, look at it, look at it, look at all those.
- 1:23:20Do you know where I'm looking right?
- 1:23:21Yeah, but look at them. Can you see where I'm looking?
- 1:23:23I don't know. I guess not.
- 1:23:24I. Don't know.
- 1:23:24I do I know where. You're at dude, like what there
- 1:23:28I where I'd be residing. Yeah.
- 1:23:31There's nothing there. Because they want motherfuckers.
- 1:23:35They want good, they want good samples.
- 1:23:36They made them criminals to not go there.
- 1:23:39Then look at Newark. No, you can't put them there.
- 1:23:42Trust me, trust me, I just drove through there and that place is
- 1:23:48a fucking shit hole. That's what I mean like.
- 1:23:50The roads are paved. Maybe by fucking Stephen Hawking
- 1:23:56himself? They're probably not.
- 1:23:58His company's just hoping that the more people they convince,
- 1:24:00the more towns they convince to let them go there, the crime
- 1:24:02rates will drop and then they'll just let them put them in more
- 1:24:04places. I saw some just statistic where
- 1:24:07it was like, oh, we have flaw cameras and we caught this many
- 1:24:10people and the crime went down and it's like it's the crime
- 1:24:13really going down or dude, I know are these people just like.
- 1:24:16It's the reporting and all that, yeah.
- 1:24:18I know what they look like and I thought that it was a traffic
- 1:24:21sign. That no, yeah, those things,
- 1:24:24some of them look different than others though, and they're not
- 1:24:27all on this map. There's more they're they're not
- 1:24:29all registered. It's really I'd like to see what
- 1:24:33it sees like the the image of it dude, like.
- 1:24:36That is literally when when that COP 180 by me those there was.
- 1:24:45There's, we're living in a fucking security state, right?
- 1:24:47No, I, I. Did not like that.
- 1:24:49I'm literally looking at the intersection where I would get
- 1:24:51off the highway and there's one right there and then by the time
- 1:24:56I made that left, oh, I see it. That cop was hauling so much ass
- 1:25:01towards that one and I wonder if it I don't.
- 1:25:04Know if they have live. I wonder if it triggered like a
- 1:25:07noise one. Can you look it up, Malcolm?
- 1:25:10Say, what do flock cameras do? Do flock cameras alert police of
- 1:25:15anything? This is the craziest.
- 1:25:17Little rabbit hole. I don't like this at all.
- 1:25:20They might. Pollock Polach, Polichi.
- 1:25:25They do, dude. It was, it was like.
- 1:25:28Oh, wait, wait, wait. It was the plate.
- 1:25:30So it reads the plate and it could.
- 1:25:31Yeah, it learns. To them, yeah, that's.
- 1:25:33How of vehicle of vehicles associated with crime?
- 1:25:37Dude. That's your car.
- 1:25:39It was, it was, it was literally like that.
- 1:25:42The drug dealers here. It was I was sitting at the
- 1:25:44light, I motored through the light and then like clockwork,
- 1:25:49the cop was already hauling ass down the street because it was
- 1:25:52such a weird turn around. Dude.
- 1:25:55It was literally like, I'm just cruising.
- 1:25:57I don't speed at night as I mentioned earlier, 180 so.
- 1:26:01Fast. You trade freedoms for security.
- 1:26:04That's what's going on right now.
- 1:26:05Give me my freedom back. I don't give a fuck.
- 1:26:07Amen, brother. Like dude, that was the weirdest
- 1:26:10thing and there were there's two right there.
- 1:26:13That's what I want. That's what I was looking at
- 1:26:14just. Like you'll be more safe if we
- 1:26:16put more of them up. Yeah, safe from.
- 1:26:19Who? The criminals, they're
- 1:26:22everywhere. We are the criminal.
- 1:26:24Yeah. This is the criminal right.
- 1:26:26Here, look, Connie is a criminal.
- 1:26:29I do criminal activity you. End up in the mountains.
- 1:26:32No, no, they don't have them up there.
- 1:26:34There's a plate reader on one of the roads, like the main one,
- 1:26:36but they don't. It doesn't do anything you.
- 1:26:39Go up a little bit now. Oh, sorry.
- 1:26:42There's a. There's a few on the way up
- 1:26:45definitely but but. They're not tracking speeding
- 1:26:48and stuff. No SO.
- 1:26:50Dude, they're really over here on the right.
- 1:26:53Whoa, look at the. Whoa, it's the border.
- 1:26:55Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's.
- 1:26:57Crazy. Zoom in.
- 1:27:00I want to see why they're on that line.
- 1:27:02Dude, that is the New Jersey, New York border.
- 1:27:04They're trying to keep OK what, what side of it they're on New
- 1:27:07York side. They're all on New York side.
- 1:27:09They're. Trying to keep the criminals
- 1:27:10from Jersey out of New York State.
- 1:27:12What the fuck? Look at that, look at that.
- 1:27:15All the roads, all the roads entering New York State from
- 1:27:19Jersey have them on there. Yo that is insane.
- 1:27:22Look at Japan. Oh my God.
- 1:27:24Dude, if they wanted where Derek was I would have just told them
- 1:27:27like come on. But they are in New York State
- 1:27:29too, so it's not like they're biased.
- 1:27:31They're they're all over. I just.
- 1:27:33It. Looks like Bergen County is kind
- 1:27:35of against these things so far. Yeah, dude, all of Bergen County
- 1:27:38where like you and I grew up is like fucking.
- 1:27:40Yeah, but they but they are there.
- 1:27:42There's a couple in Paramus. Yeah, by the.
- 1:27:44They're on 17 in Paramus. Dude, dude, dude, dude, I could
- 1:27:46tell you. I see them.
- 1:27:49Frankie Wayne never doing it. I'm doing everything.
- 1:27:52Dude, we're not ever doing it. Where they are, you know how
- 1:27:54much. That is literally that's right
- 1:27:56there. You know how valuable the things
- 1:27:58are about that shit in those cameras?
- 1:27:59What? Are you talking?
- 1:28:00About like the material in the cameras.
- 1:28:02Oh, that's what we're doing. Oh, you want to melt them down
- 1:28:05and. Shit, you could I I think
- 1:28:07there's like $2000 worth of material in them or.
- 1:28:09Something really I see a lot of dots on this screen.
- 1:28:12I I could have a lot of free time for the next few hours.
- 1:28:15Just bring a car that's not yours and cut them off them can
- 1:28:18you? It's kind of interesting how
- 1:28:20there's. Frankie, they're literally
- 1:28:22there's like literally a clump of dots where look at Woodcliff
- 1:28:25Lake Park you want to do. Is yeah, look at Park Ridge,
- 1:28:29Woodcliff, Lake, Hillsdale, Westwood, Emerson, Ultapan,
- 1:28:32Upper Saddle River, Ramsey, Allendale, Waldwick, Ho Hocus.
- 1:28:35That whole area doesn't have any but Paramus Hawthorne has, or
- 1:28:41Hallworth has one and then Rochelle Park, Hackensack.
- 1:28:45Or with having one is crazy, huh isn't.
- 1:28:48That kind of weird. Like the whole N section of
- 1:28:50Bergen County has none. You got to remember some of them
- 1:28:53aren't registered because I know of some that aren't on this.
- 1:28:56Oh, so they're not set up yet? Oh, so you have to register on
- 1:29:00this? Oh, meaning like no one found
- 1:29:02them? Or just no one registered it.
- 1:29:04They know they're. There me don't like that bro
- 1:29:07that that's. Yeah, word advice to anyone.
- 1:29:11If you're going to do crime, look this website up and.
- 1:29:13Actual crime though, probably. Probably not driving shit I
- 1:29:16don't. Think that's going to matter?
- 1:29:17I mean if you're drifting in front of one of these you're you
- 1:29:20could get fucked probably. It's I, I'm telling you they
- 1:29:24would. I'd go home late at night with
- 1:29:27that with yellow car all the time.
- 1:29:30That was the first time I've ever gotten pulled.
- 1:29:33Like not pulled over, but almost like I was going to get pulled
- 1:29:36over and I wasn't even really doing nothing.
- 1:29:40And like, I don't know, not like I was hiding.
- 1:29:42It happens. I got followed shit last week, 2
- 1:29:46weeks ago. I don't even remember, but I was
- 1:29:49going up to do what I do. Then all of a sudden that little
- 1:29:52thing they do in New York, cop just pulls right up and I'm
- 1:29:56like, oh, all right, but your shit's clean.
- 1:29:59Yeah, it's. Like some things on your.
- 1:30:03Yeah, it's. Kind of a hot boy, but it's not
- 1:30:05like, I don't mean that in like, you know, fucking way.
- 1:30:08Like, Oh my shit, hot boy. Like, not like I could get
- 1:30:11pulled over for things, but I was like, oh, this cop's
- 1:30:15following me and he just stayed behind me, a little bit behind
- 1:30:18me. It's mine, it's registered, it's
- 1:30:22insured. If he pulled me over I would
- 1:30:23have been like what the fuck are you?
- 1:30:25Yeah, like why are I'm literally just trying to get home?
- 1:30:27He just wanted to make sure I wasn't going nowhere.
- 1:30:29I wasn't supposed to. I got some questions on the
- 1:30:31Instagram. This podcast is sponsored by AG
- 1:30:33One Guys, spring is finally here.
- 1:30:35Snow is melting, flowers are blooming, spring cleaning is in
- 1:30:38full effect, and the race tracks are prepping for a busy 2026
- 1:30:41season. There's no better time than now
- 1:30:43to take control of your health. One habit I'm recommending to
- 1:30:45everyone this season is AG1AG1 is the clinically backed daily
- 1:30:49health drink that combines A multivitamin, pre and
- 1:30:52probiotics, superfoods, and antioxidants into one
- 1:30:55deliciously simple scoop. I've been taking AG1 for a few
- 1:30:58months now and notice improvements almost instantly.
- 1:31:00My gut health has never been better, and it's the easiest
- 1:31:02part of my morning routine. Just one scoop with eight to 12
- 1:31:05ounces of cold water is all it takes to keep you on the right
- 1:31:08path to improving your health. It also replaces the need for a
- 1:31:10multivitamin, which helps keep my morning routine super simple.
- 1:31:14Go to shop.drinkag1.com/faction to receive a free AG1 flavor
- 1:31:20paper sampler plus a bottle of Vitamin D3 and K2 with your AG 1
- 1:31:24Welcome Kit when you first subscribe.
- 1:31:26Link is also available in the show notes.
- 1:31:28So do some spring cleaning of your own this season.
- 1:31:30Ditch your current supplement regimen and stick to just one AG
- 1:31:33One. We are super excited to be
- 1:31:36working with Rect Magazine. Rect has been capturing the best
- 1:31:39moments in drifting since the mid 2000s.
- 1:31:42After a long hiatus, they have recently been brought back from
- 1:31:44the dead with the best people in the industry leading the charge.
- 1:31:47The first couple issues have been nothing but amazing and
- 1:31:50after speaking with these guys I can tell you it's only going to
- 1:31:53get better. Now I won't lie, a print
- 1:31:54magazine being brought back to life in 2026 is pretty risky
- 1:31:58move. It's a dying industry with video
- 1:32:01content and social media flooding the market.
- 1:32:03But nothing beats to the nostalgic feeling of print.
- 1:32:05It's always been the best way to get a glimpse into the
- 1:32:07automotive scene that you're interested in.
- 1:32:09Automotive magazines were the reason some of us even got into
- 1:32:12cars. To this day I still have all my
- 1:32:14magazines from high school and it's so cool to be able to go
- 1:32:16back to see how the culture was during that specific time.
- 1:32:20And to have AUS based magazine that's just focused on drifting
- 1:32:23is unreal. They have tons of information in
- 1:32:25the first two issues that I've been reading through.
- 1:32:27Everything from event coverage, specific vehicle articles,
- 1:32:30driver profiles, shop tours, much more.
- 1:32:34Even the ads are cool. For more info or if you are
- 1:32:36looking to subscribe, head on over to wreckmagazine.com.
- 1:32:39They got a bunch of other cool stuff on there as well.
- 1:32:42We are in the middle of trying to get some of these to sell
- 1:32:44here at the shop, so hopefully in the next few months we have
- 1:32:46them here to at least check out or if you want to purchase them.
- 1:32:50Hell yeah. Wait, did you have before?
- 1:32:53Did you have anything else that you did in Japan?
- 1:32:55Then you were there for like a week.
- 1:32:58Yeah, like almost two weeks. Almost 2 you had to have done.
- 1:33:02That I went to Daikoku, Daikoku or whatever that was.
- 1:33:05That was kind of whatever, but. I feel like that might.
- 1:33:08Be it I do shit I don't even remember what else I ate.
- 1:33:13A bunch of good food restaurants, Yeah.
- 1:33:17What kind of restaurant? Yakiniku.
- 1:33:20Yeah, that shit was fucking insane.
- 1:33:22We haven't done that in a while. Think about it right now.
- 1:33:26Korean BBQ. Yeah, I had Korean barbecue in
- 1:33:28Japan too. It was the best Korean BBQ.
- 1:33:29Yeah, ke niku, it's so good. Oh my.
- 1:33:31So maybe I went there, I don't know.
- 1:33:33Was that an Osaka? No, it's just like.
- 1:33:34That's just the. Name of the OR type of.
- 1:33:37Like Japanese, Korean or Japanese BBQ.
- 1:33:40Japanese unlimited BBQ. Yeah, I didn't have that.
- 1:33:43Oh my, I wish I did. Dude, Oh my God, what?
- 1:33:46I don't even. Dude, I did so much that it's
- 1:33:48like it's hard to fucking remember everything.
- 1:33:54I went back to the zoo, saw wombatter friends.
- 1:33:56They gave us more gifts, we gave them gifts.
- 1:33:58What kind of gift you give a wombat?
- 1:34:01A wombatter. They the one gave me a bunch of
- 1:34:07Wombat stuff. They gave Alex Pokémon stuff
- 1:34:13from Pokémon Center which was kind of sick.
- 1:34:15That's. So thoughtful of them.
- 1:34:17Yeah, they're really nice people.
- 1:34:18What did you give? Them a pack of Marlboro Reds and
- 1:34:20cowboy hat. No, they're like, they're like
- 1:34:23middle-aged ladies. We're not going to convey that,
- 1:34:25but. So Boo I.
- 1:34:27Forgot what we got them. We just got them like some small
- 1:34:29things. Probably like the cigarettes,
- 1:34:30honestly. We're going to send them a gift,
- 1:34:32though, soon. We made them some custom stuff.
- 1:34:36Yeah, or Alex did, because she's awesome.
- 1:34:38But I'm trying to think of what else I did in Japan.
- 1:34:42Dude, I can't. Even we going in October or
- 1:34:44what? I wanna, I really wanna.
- 1:34:48I'm going to, I think not that soon, not I think I'm probably
- 1:34:50going to go. It's expensive to go then,
- 1:34:52though. That's why word of advice, I
- 1:34:54shouldn't be saying this, but word of advice to anyone that
- 1:34:56wants to go, don't go in like a popping month there because
- 1:35:00you're going to spend way more and you're going to deal with
- 1:35:02way more people. I don't.
- 1:35:03Care about what's going on around there because shocker,
- 1:35:09I'm not going to any of that stuff.
- 1:35:10Yeah, that's the thing. I didn't do any.
- 1:35:12Of that, all the stuff that we did was like, it was like the
- 1:35:15car stuff. So I wanted to really hear about
- 1:35:17the other things that you did, and I would have killed to go to
- 1:35:20like an aquarium or something. That sounds fucking awesome.
- 1:35:24Dude, I can't even remember a lot of the stuff we did.
- 1:35:27We were just like going out winging, like just winging it.
- 1:35:30Yeah, we would just go out and be like, let's just go to this
- 1:35:32town and like, see what we find. Like, dude, we went to this
- 1:35:36supermarket. It's like you think it's almost
- 1:35:39like like a Costco almost. But dude, you could buy a hoodie
- 1:35:43for like $2.00. That's sick.
- 1:35:47Yeah. Like it was like a supermarket,
- 1:35:49but you could buy clothes and like whatever you you could buy
- 1:35:51whatever you wanted there. It was kind of crazy.
- 1:35:54And we, we spent like 5 hours there just like what?
- 1:35:58Like just random stuff that like you wouldn't even think of the
- 1:36:00do we were just. What did you do with all the
- 1:36:02shit you had? You had a.
- 1:36:03I brought 4 empty suitcases. That makes sense.
- 1:36:07I was like, you sound like you got a lot of stuff.
- 1:36:08You brought 4 suitcases. Dude I bought everything they
- 1:36:14sold at the zoo shop. Everything.
- 1:36:19Multiples of some things too. Name.
- 1:36:22Name your favorite thing you got there.
- 1:36:24Yeah, not the one. I don't know.
- 1:36:31I can't like I was buying a lot of random things.
- 1:36:36I I liked everything I bought at the zoo.
- 1:36:38Like a life-size wombat. Yeah, did you buy a real wombat?
- 1:36:41That was sold out. They used to sell those.
- 1:36:43What about a wombat skin jacket? No, you can't.
- 1:36:46That's not you can't. No, that's not the kind of place
- 1:36:48you're going here. Yeah.
- 1:36:50They'll kill you if you walk. In there, I'm sorry, I was
- 1:36:53wearing like shirts and stuff Wombat.
- 1:36:57For shirts. No, you can't buy that there.
- 1:36:59They'll kill you, dude. What about wombat jerky?
- 1:37:02They'll kill you. You.
- 1:37:03Can't buy that there. They you can't say that that's
- 1:37:08disrespectful to Johnny I. Know.
- 1:37:10Yeah, it's not nice. OK, maybe Australia, you could
- 1:37:12buy that. Japan.
- 1:37:13They probably skin you instead. 4.
- 1:37:15Suitcases. They used to do that shit back
- 1:37:17in the. Fucking 30s.
- 1:37:18Yeah, Alex got a lot of stuff. I I I didn't buy a lot of car
- 1:37:23stuff. I didn't think that.
- 1:37:24I didn't think that you were going to like, I feel like once
- 1:37:26you saw like what was for sale around there, it's like.
- 1:37:31I mean up garages like you can't even find anything at those
- 1:37:34places. I got lucky there, like I just
- 1:37:36happened to get springs there. You.
- 1:37:38Could buy things like that. Little.
- 1:37:40Things yeah like if you want like springs, you could buy
- 1:37:43springs or like if you don't have like a newer 86 chassis or
- 1:37:51like a fucking like a. JZX they.
- 1:37:55Have 32 GTR or like a JZX you can't get any or like AK car you
- 1:37:59can't get anything at these stores.
- 1:38:00Dude if you had AK car they had parts galore.
- 1:38:04Everything but like it's so milked out that like you can't
- 1:38:11fucking find anything at all. That's why when I bought those
- 1:38:14candidors for the car, they were at up garage and I was freaking
- 1:38:17out on the dude. I was like, yo, you need to buy
- 1:38:18these for me right now because someone's going to buy them
- 1:38:21because like everyone over there is at fucking up garage
- 1:38:25obviously and everyone overseas is on the fucking website.
- 1:38:29So you got to like you bought. Piano doors while you were
- 1:38:31there. No, I bought those like a couple
- 1:38:33weeks ago. Oh OK.
- 1:38:35I didn't buy anything from the only thing I bought from up
- 1:38:37garage was the tissue box. I got you the raised tissue box.
- 1:38:41It looks like a raised wheel, but it's a tissue.
- 1:38:42Box. Yeah, a raised wheel box, but
- 1:38:44it's a tissue box. Thanks for thinking of me,
- 1:38:46Johnny. Johnny had four suitcases and I
- 1:38:49texted him to buy me cigarettes and he didn't buy me because
- 1:38:53Alex was looking out for my health.
- 1:38:56Oh my, I didn't have any space for anything honestly too
- 1:38:59though. She wanted something and then
- 1:39:00she saw those. Get these out of here.
- 1:39:02Yeah, Johnny was like, I guess I got to smoke all of these right
- 1:39:04now. Yeah, All right.
- 1:39:07All right. We got some questions, Johnny.
- 1:39:09We got to go in October. What?
- 1:39:11You heard me, joints are blunts. That's to Johnny.
- 1:39:14I used to be too buddy only blunts but I've only been

- 1:39:31They know. They know Johnny's down with
- 1:39:33Carl. Joints are blunts.
- 1:39:35Joints because you could have a lot of papers in one.
- 1:39:41Joints I guess. I'm a blunt kind of guy myself.
- 1:39:44This question, this question I don't understand.
- 1:39:47Is the car trend dying off? What do you mean what don't?
- 1:39:51What don't you understand? If anything is getting worse.
- 1:39:53There's no cars are not a trend. Cars are a hobby that you're
- 1:39:57into. Yeah, no, but like having a cool
- 1:39:59car and like that's. Not a trend that's been.
- 1:40:02That's been a lifelong obsession.
- 1:40:04Every day it's getting worse. I feel it's with people just
- 1:40:06like I in AI could see some ways, but you I see a lot of new
- 1:40:13young kids that like will be like they only care about like
- 1:40:17whatever fucking car, but they make that their whole identity
- 1:40:20dude, like only caring about like a Kia Stinger in a sense.
- 1:40:24Those are a number. Is my dad.
- 1:40:26Has a high offender they love making it seem like they're in
- 1:40:32an F80. Low key, they're sick dude.
- 1:40:34My dad has. Johnny's drinking the soup.
- 1:40:36Oh my. God, if you drove one you'd be
- 1:40:39like, this is pretty fucking. Dude I think like the richness
- 1:40:41and wholesomeness of it and like the purpose of it is totally
- 1:40:45different but the hobby is still there with but since it's
- 1:40:49different. Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:40:50What we like to do is definitely like.
- 1:40:52Yeah, that is like a thing of the past.
- 1:40:54Yeah, I mean, I could see that, but.
- 1:40:58Malcolm's putting up some Patreon questions right now.
- 1:41:00Also want to know what percentage of guys finance their
- 1:41:03drifting meaning in the car with the tires.
- 1:41:06I don't finance anything. So Ricardo does do people
- 1:41:10finance their drifting? Because it's just.
- 1:41:13Nona. B2K asked.
- 1:41:15Nona B2K asked. He wants to know what percentage
- 1:41:18of guys finance their drifting, Mainly the car, but also tires,
- 1:41:21parts. Da da da da.
- 1:41:22Well, I'll tell you one thing, right now everyone is financing
- 1:41:25everything because they made that an option.
- 1:41:27So. Yeah, when I was drifting, I
- 1:41:29didn't even know what a credit card was, to be honest with you.
- 1:41:31But now just. Affirm everything you can Affirm
- 1:41:33your the work we do on your drift car here.
- 1:41:36Here's. Crazy.
- 1:41:37Here's how. You can affirm McDonald's on
- 1:41:39Uber I heard. I didn't know that, but I like
- 1:41:43to think that if it's like 300 bucks or less, I'm not going to
- 1:41:46affirm it. Yeah.
- 1:41:48That's like, yeah, here, here's here's how I make it work with
- 1:41:54no money ready. You want to drift.
- 1:42:00What do you need to drift? 4 tires.
- 1:42:02You need gas for the weekend and the entrance fee.
- 1:42:05You need to pay your insurance that month.
- 1:42:07You need to pay the registration that month for your car or that
- 1:42:10registration is got to be valid for your car.
- 1:42:13You need to buy the car. And then once you have all those
- 1:42:16things, now you have to pay for those things.
- 1:42:19And then to pay for those things, you got to work.
- 1:42:24And after you work, they give you money and then after you get
- 1:42:29the money. Work.
- 1:42:29Go back. What's work?
- 1:42:32Work is no one works. Yeah, no.
- 1:42:34One works. That was the saying after Covad
- 1:42:37or before Covad? I think it was during COVID.
- 1:42:39I think it was during COVID that, yeah, that saying started.
- 1:42:43I. Didn't say that because no one
- 1:42:45would, no one would have a job. It was just like everyone was
- 1:42:47just, everyone just had drift cars and shit and no one had.
- 1:42:49A job, dude. Like if you, if you buy the
- 1:42:51part, I promise you nothing lights a fire under your ass to
- 1:42:55get some fucking work done. Like you trying to get a car
- 1:42:59done for an event. Yeah, if it's just how bad do
- 1:43:02you want it? Do you want to spend?
- 1:43:04Do you want to spend $5000 in six months going to bars and
- 1:43:10going out to restaurants and living a normal life?
- 1:43:13Or do you want to be a scumbag and spend it all on drifting?
- 1:43:15It's pretty much all you want to figure it out.
- 1:43:17Yeah. Also the the finance options and
- 1:43:20stuff, those like those are firm companies and what are the other
- 1:43:25ones like? Claw no is a different thing.
- 1:43:30I don't know. I use PayPal paying for him.
- 1:43:31I'm a loyal PayPal guy. That's a good one.
- 1:43:34Malcolm, you know it's. Just like that these kids asking
- 1:43:36like is anyone getting a loan for like 20 K and drifting?
- 1:43:40But what I'm saying? Oh, and just burning the loan
- 1:43:42fully for Drift. Yeah, which is kind of silly.
- 1:43:45I mean, Tom, Tom's done that. Holy shit that is.
- 1:43:48In the Front St. All Front St. probably that bad.
- 1:43:51But dude, I could definitely crank a season out with 20K and
- 1:43:54have a pretty fucking. Give me 20 K I'm actually yeah,
- 1:43:56probably all. Front St. has done that.
- 1:43:58But anyway, these finance companies, they, they're banking
- 1:44:01on you to not pay by the time when you're going to owe
- 1:44:05interest. Yeah.
- 1:44:06If you're a normal, responsible person, you should be using
- 1:44:11these companies to your advantage right now, yeah.
- 1:44:13Oh, yeah, there we go. Yeah.
- 1:44:15So it is what Johnny is kind of saying, like how many people are
- 1:44:18being financed via bank. I don't, that's insane.
- 1:44:22I'd I'd really hope not a lot. People probably are, but they
- 1:44:25should. I financed my evil when I got it
- 1:44:27and I fucked around with that the fucking first day I got it,
- 1:44:30but it's a little different that's.
- 1:44:31People you also need car to get places that.
- 1:44:34Yeah. So The thing is like, does that
- 1:44:40just just just repeat that in your head really quick?
- 1:44:43Do do you want to finance a hobby in which you see zero ROI?
- 1:44:50Yeah, whatsoever. That's all you have to say right
- 1:44:53there. I mean, I wouldn't finance.
- 1:44:56I'm drunk, but like, I don't think I would do that.
- 1:44:59I don't think I would do that. I mean, I can't say I haven't
- 1:45:02because I've put parts on credit cards and.
- 1:45:04That's different. That's a.
- 1:45:05That's a. Credit card, buying a 180 and
- 1:45:07being like, I'm going to go finance it.
- 1:45:09I wouldn't do that because if you write the car off then it's
- 1:45:12like. Well, no, that's.
- 1:45:13But that's still a car used for transportation.
- 1:45:15Yeah, that's a. That's a mode of transportation
- 1:45:16if. It's your secondary car and you
- 1:45:18finance it just for drifting. Yeah, just drifting.
- 1:45:20Then I wouldn't do that. But but but.
- 1:45:22People do that all the time, but.
- 1:45:25In the eyes of people who view credit as leverage and value,
- 1:45:31then in that world it would be the smarter move because today's
- 1:45:36dollar is not the word, is not the same worth as tomorrow's
- 1:45:40dollar. That's where people were
- 1:45:42probably would probably be like, I don't see why I wouldn't
- 1:45:44finance this. Yeah, but if you're paying a
- 1:45:46high interest rate. Some people don't.
- 1:45:49Yeah, that's different. Yeah.
- 1:45:50If you're, and especially if you're using these finance
- 1:45:52companies and they're charging you no interest for a certain
- 1:45:54amount of time. Oh, I'm, I'm take a motor of it.
- 1:45:57Yeah, I'm going to drive this car for six months in that area
- 1:46:00in that time frame of no interest and then sell it and
- 1:46:03then recuperate my funds and then even if you whole thing.
- 1:46:06Even if you gotta get tires and they give you a shop thing at
- 1:46:09the end, you wanna pay for these tires in four installments over
- 1:46:12three months or four months, whatever it is.
- 1:46:14No interest and for no interest it's like.
- 1:46:16Well, not yeah, I guess you. Should do that.
- 1:46:18You guys are leaving out the factor of let's say you even you
- 1:46:22could, you could points Max you're you're buying, you're
- 1:46:25buying car parts on a monthly basis.
- 1:46:27You you have like rewards for your points.
- 1:46:29As long as you can pay the card off.
- 1:46:30As long as you can pay the card off and shit like.
- 1:46:32Most. People, you're, you're, you're
- 1:46:34hacking the system. Mikey Alamone has been telling
- 1:46:36me to do this for years. And I, I told him straight up,
- 1:46:38like Mikey have bad credit. Shut up.
- 1:46:40I'm going to fucking have to pay everything in cash.
- 1:46:42I mean, you should always be using a credit card for
- 1:46:43everything if you can pay it. Off I pay it in cash.
- 1:46:46I don't like using any cards but that's what he's saying.
- 1:46:51Debit card. Japan I was using they'll.
- 1:46:53Give you money for. New time just because I was
- 1:46:56like, all right, yeah, they take.
- 1:46:58The card there and do the exchange, but please don't do
- 1:47:01that if it if it's not something that you can afford, if, if
- 1:47:04they're financing the car and and financially it seems like a
- 1:47:07good idea and and you've done your own analysis, not us 3 in
- 1:47:11here who are bad and now financial analysis.
- 1:47:15People don't don't listen to anything that we have to say
- 1:47:17with that shit $900 mirror. That might be the that might be
- 1:47:22method, I don't know. I don't know.
- 1:47:25Most successful people I know are in debt.
- 1:47:27That's all I'm going. To say yeah, so.
- 1:47:28Go for it, blow off valves, mount to the hot or cold side
- 1:47:35and why I have always been taught or learned that the cold
- 1:47:40side closest to the throttle body is the actual right correct
- 1:47:43place. That side is the correct.
- 1:47:45Yeah, but to be honest with you, I don't think it fucking
- 1:47:48matters. It doesn't really matter.
- 1:47:50Unless you're making like a lot of power and yeah, but as we're
- 1:47:53talking like drift cars and stuff, I don't think it fucking
- 1:47:55matters, dude. It's a.
- 1:47:56It's a. If it's a drift car, don't even
- 1:47:58have a blow valve on it. Or that, yeah.
- 1:48:01Oh no man, I kind of want a hot. Topic.
- 1:48:03I kind of want another SSQ. Oh, he's going with the SSQ.
- 1:48:07Dude, do you remember how many people had the SSQ when we were
- 1:48:10young? I.
- 1:48:10Fucking hate that blow. Alex has the OG one on her.
- 1:48:12So he'd be like, yeah, and you're like, what the fuck?
- 1:48:17Oh, no. It was like a no, It was like.
- 1:48:22Like it was, it's like the little like a little weird one
- 1:48:29at the end, right? Or am I think?
- 1:48:31Depends how much boost. Dude I want one that's like hits
- 1:48:34the the thing. About the HKS 1 is it has
- 1:48:38different inserts too you can put in it.
- 1:48:41I didn't know that my fucking one was from Amazon Made by do
- 1:48:44wheel. The shitty part about that blow
- 1:48:46off valve is there's no adjustment at all.
- 1:48:48So it's kind of just. Like yeah dude, if you're
- 1:48:51getting blow off, Valve got a good blow off.
- 1:48:53Valve, dude, the flange for that blow off Valve was a snap ring.
- 1:48:56Yeah, and that shit. Some people hated that.
- 1:48:59Pissed me the fuck off. Yeah, I could leak are peanut
- 1:49:04seeds. Technically, yeah, right.
- 1:49:08Did they grow on a tree? I don't know anything.
- 1:49:12Hell yeah, Jodie, I wouldn't have even come remotely to that
- 1:49:16fucking, I don't know, conclusion.
- 1:49:19I eat the peanut. I don't think of putting it back
- 1:49:22in the ground and growing. Something.
- 1:49:24Me neither, but. And they they, they got to come
- 1:49:27out of a shell. I love going to five guys and
- 1:49:29just getting peanuts for no reason and then eating like 2
- 1:49:32and then just throwing the rest out.
- 1:49:34I feel like an asshole. I should next time just not
- 1:49:37throw them in the garbage and just throw them in the grass so
- 1:49:40the birds could eat them. Is that is that, is that real?
- 1:49:45The birds will eat the shells. Are you talking about the
- 1:49:48peanuts Can eat the shell. They'll eat the peanut that's
- 1:49:51crack it open, and squirrels will eat it too.
- 1:49:52That's for the birds, that's. For the birds.
- 1:49:55What's the coolest drift car of all time to you and why?
- 1:49:58180SX Because it's a 180SX. What about?
- 1:50:01You just like no specific, just like that's a car type.
- 1:50:05Yeah, 180. Why?
- 1:50:08What 180? That's fair enough, Carl.
- 1:50:13We all know the engine. But What Car?
- 1:50:15Just kind of think of the coolest car, I guess.
- 1:50:19I guess it would be kind of A180SX.
- 1:50:22I don't think it's a 180SX. It's it's definitely S chassis
- 1:50:26line. I like the 180.
- 1:50:28All of them. I don't.
- 1:50:31We don't necessarily rank the 180 as #1 but I might.
- 1:50:34Shut this down. You can't go wrong with anyone.
- 1:50:37Yeah, but I think is the best dude.
- 1:50:40I like the S15 so. OK, fair enough.
- 1:50:42I wish they had a left hand drive one.
- 1:50:43Do they have left hand drive ones?
- 1:50:44I wish they had a left. They do or they converted.
- 1:50:47Probably converted, I don't know.
- 1:50:49They're definitely converted. That car was only sold in Japan
- 1:50:52and Australia, right? Maybe England?
- 1:50:55I don't think they were even sold in England.
- 1:50:57I does. Does does everyone import that
- 1:51:00shit to England because they have skylines and stuff?
- 1:51:03They have left hand drive skyline in Philippines too.
- 1:51:05I've seen one before. They there's a company in Dubai
- 1:51:09or whatever that converts them maybe.
- 1:51:11It's crazy though because they make it look exactly like.
- 1:51:13Dude I love it if it was an S15 that was fucking left hand
- 1:51:17drive. Didn't Mike Power convert his to
- 1:51:19left hand drive? I mean you could technically do
- 1:51:22it pretty easily if you buy and S14 firewall because it's the
- 1:51:27same no? So you put that firewall on it
- 1:51:29and that company sells that fucking dash.
- 1:51:32No stock? What?
- 1:51:34No stock. Is it?
- 1:51:36No, it came stock left hand drive in the field.
- 1:51:38That's crazy. That's crazy.
- 1:51:41I wanted one so. That's cool.
- 1:51:42So so that so you can get that car somehow.
- 1:51:47That's insane, I thought it was only sold in Australia.
- 1:51:51Japan wipe that part from the episode.
- 1:51:53Malcolm, wipe that part from the episode please people.
- 1:51:55Are gonna try to find them. Dude no it's not worth getting
- 1:51:58from there. Anything car related in the
- 1:52:01Philippines is so expensive. Really.
- 1:52:04I've realized that every time I've gone to the Philippines my
- 1:52:06entire life, I've gone there like over over 20 times.
- 1:52:09But car stuff is not cheap. No, not car stuff.
- 1:52:12Over 20 times I've been there. Never did a single car related
- 1:52:15there. I.
- 1:52:15Can't believe you've been there 20 times.
- 1:52:16My parents were like, no, yeah, yeah, it was a lot.
- 1:52:22I've been there. Yeah, like life there is
- 1:52:24probably cheap, but having luxuries like that?
- 1:52:26Yeah, it's like it's, it's really for the rich.
- 1:52:29Yeah. I don't know if I had any
- 1:52:31Filipino listeners. Should I be sick?
- 1:52:34Do you know about this Johnny talk about the Sylvia's stolen
- 1:52:38SR20 in a Connecticut driveway lore?
- 1:52:41Oh, it was Tommy Effie. I think really, I don't know.
- 1:52:46I don't know anything about it. I just know that he was like
- 1:52:50selling an engine and the truck driver went to pick it up or
- 1:52:53something and like he took that like the truck.
- 1:52:56I don't know, like, I don't know anything about it.
- 1:53:00I've heard the story because they said it on a podcast or
- 1:53:03something one time. Well, you can't, because Sylvia
- 1:53:05is dead. Yeah, dude, there's a lot of
- 1:53:09shit. Oh lung fucking wags.
- 1:53:11What's up with the Cars for Kids controversy?
- 1:53:14I saw something like that recently.
- 1:53:16There's a cars for kids thing going around.
- 1:53:18What's a scam? The whole thing was a scam.
- 1:53:19Yeah, but we knew that already, and now it's on the news that
- 1:53:22it's a scam. But it was always.
- 1:53:23What was the scam part? Holy shit, my ex-girlfriend
- 1:53:26donated a car to them and she got a.
- 1:53:29A tax break, Yeah. No.
- 1:53:31That's all you get. That's all you get right?
- 1:53:33Didn't they give you vouchers? I think, I think we got like.
- 1:53:36Malcolm, what's the what's the scam right now?
- 1:53:38Maybe, but they probably Malcolm you donated that fucking
- 1:53:41Volkswagen to cars your kids. Honestly, I feel like they gave
- 1:53:45her cash like it it wasn't a lot.
- 1:53:49It was like 200 bucks. What?
- 1:53:58Oh, they're not OK. Yeah, but they that's what it
- 1:54:00is. The the Jews own it and they
- 1:54:03just dump all the money into wherever.
- 1:54:04They're not donating it to kids. So basically the controversy is.
- 1:54:09Most. Proceeds actually support OURA
- 1:54:13and Orthodox Jewish organizations that fund
- 1:54:16religious education, summer camps and trips to Israel.
- 1:54:20That's the controversy. No shot, this is a tiny hat
- 1:54:24thing. I'm sure it's real.
- 1:54:26Yeah, it's probably. No.
- 1:54:28Could be. No, they own it.
- 1:54:31What do you? Who did you think own it?
- 1:54:32Who? Who owns everything?
- 1:54:34Fuck. Do I know?
- 1:54:35I don't I I mean this this. Should go giant like a scam I
- 1:54:38mean. Life was literally so plain
- 1:54:40years ago because ignorance was such a bliss.
- 1:54:43Because we didn't know anything grown up and I know who owns
- 1:54:45everything. I'm not anti.
- 1:54:47Semitic. I knew, I said.
- 1:54:48I wanted to junk that fucking car.
- 1:54:50I wanted to do a normal junker route.
- 1:54:53Better off chassis mounted wings.
- 1:54:56No, no. Next.
- 1:54:58It has a purpose on race cars, but that's about it.
- 1:55:00I don't even like them on race cars.
- 1:55:02Yeah, neither do I I get why it's there, but I don't like it.
- 1:55:04Yeah, yeah. Give me a virus or.
- 1:55:06What if you mount it to the chassis, but it's through the
- 1:55:09trunk and it looks like it's on the trunk?
- 1:55:10I've seen that and it still looks off because it's you don't
- 1:55:14see the mounts on on the trunk. No, no, Frankie's talking like
- 1:55:18it went. It goes through through the.
- 1:55:20Trunk then you put like a mount, no?
- 1:55:22No, no, no, no. It's mounted to the to the frame
- 1:55:24rails, Yeah, but the Roo that comes up in the trunk or or you
- 1:55:29make a mount that comes to the bottom of the trunk.
- 1:55:32Yeah. And then you mount it there.
- 1:55:34On the on the trunk and then the the the wing presses down on the
- 1:55:37trunk and immediately touches the brackets that are.
- 1:55:39Pushing on the frame rail, Yeah, like you put brackets on the
- 1:55:41trunk, but they're just dummy brackets or something.
- 1:55:44Well, it's holding the wing up on the trunk, but when the trunk
- 1:55:47is closed, now everything is. Fully resting on there like it
- 1:55:51locks. That's a good one.
- 1:55:52That's actually a really good idea.
- 1:55:53Right. Yeah, thanks.
- 1:55:54Just came up with Avi. I'm if not if when I put a wing
- 1:55:59on the evo I'm just buying a voltex or a virus wing.
- 1:56:02Yeah, yeah. I'm not doing no well.
- 1:56:04They also they do work until the trunk flexes.
- 1:56:07Yeah. What about when you buy a 180?
- 1:56:10Or what about when you finish the 180?
- 1:56:12What do you like work? On the wing.
- 1:56:14What do we like work on the one? 80 No, I'm just going to keep
- 1:56:17entering Josh's gives giveaways, win one.
- 1:56:23Hopefully I win one eventually. What the fuck, Johnny?
- 1:56:26Instead of putting that money into the couple $100 I need to
- 1:56:29finish the car. Just keep one of y'all.
- 1:56:31Got to finish a car before I leave here and never come back.
- 1:56:33Frankie's almost done with the Z.
- 1:56:35I don't give a fuck. About this thing dude, no one
- 1:56:38does. I walk in here week after week.
- 1:56:41No one cares about it, and Frankie doesn't care about it.
- 1:56:43And then he's just like. I kind of.
- 1:56:45Like all this, I kind of like shit for it.
- 1:56:47I like it week. After week Frankie does
- 1:56:50something to this bombo Ras car. I like the car currently and
- 1:56:55it's currently. It's the best one of the cooler
- 1:56:57looking ones. It's it's got really good
- 1:57:00wheels. I'll give you that.
- 1:57:01Thank you. But I it's still a fucking Z.
- 1:57:04Yeah, it's still AZ at the end of the day, but it has a
- 1:57:06purpose. Yeah, it's and everything is
- 1:57:09like as if it was a nude. Like I see what you're doing
- 1:57:11with the wing. It's kind of like a Type X wing,
- 1:57:14kind of like in Vibe, which is great.
- 1:57:16But guess what, You literally have a car modify wonder wing
- 1:57:21for an S13 which is like one of the better ones, one of the best
- 1:57:24ones you can get. Yeah, but that also looks like a
- 1:57:26Type X wing. I'm looking at it right.
- 1:57:28Now, so if you think about it, it's basically I'm going to
- 1:57:32sound like such an idiot and someone's going to clip me.
- 1:57:35But it's AZ in Frankie's 180 form because it's Origin.
- 1:57:40It's like the fucking kit that like fucking comes out.
- 1:57:43Yeah, like a no race car stuff. It's a drift kit and then it's
- 1:57:47got like. Let's talk about the muffler
- 1:57:49guys. It sounds OK.
- 1:57:51Oh, I heard it the other day, it does sound good.
- 1:57:52It sounds OK. For now, yeah, I got to replace
- 1:57:56the cats and I'm scared what's going to happen there.
- 1:57:58Dude one of y'all got to finish a fucking car.
- 1:58:00All right, Vivo, if you could be sponsored by one non car, I
- 1:58:05already know what Carl was going to say.
- 1:58:07If you could be sponsored by one non car brand but you have to
- 1:58:10run their livery, what would it be?
- 1:58:12Oh, that's such a good idea. You first.
- 1:58:13Johnny a brand. Yeah, that isn't car related.
- 1:58:18Who has that? That's such a creative question.
- 1:58:20Ballrog, Johnson, SATA Kiyama Zoo.
- 1:58:26What? Yeah, I'm going to put wombats
- 1:58:28on the car. Or maybe, I don't know, like a
- 1:58:32food company. Like what?
- 1:58:34Abiko Curry in Palisades Park. Oh, damn, there you go.
- 1:58:38Malcolm broke up, he said. What would I run?
- 1:58:44I don't think oh dude, yeah. I think I would also do a food
- 1:58:491. I would.
- 1:58:50She would be Marlboro motherfucker.
- 1:58:52That would be kind of fire. No, they stopped doing cigarette
- 1:58:54ad ones. For one, this is made-up and you
- 1:58:58choose anything you want. No dude, I would do like a funny
- 1:59:01one that doesn't exist yet. So then I'd be known as that
- 1:59:04car. Like imagine my car with a combo
- 1:59:07slavery. Oh my gosh.
- 1:59:09That's like a like I would put something that I like on there.
- 1:59:11Yeah, why do some of the E brakes never work?
- 1:59:15You got to check the cables, make sure they're not stretched.
- 1:59:19Also, Josh was telling me something about stock brakes
- 1:59:24recently, I forgot what. That's why he did the Z32.
- 1:59:28Shit. It's like not consistent when
- 1:59:30you're using the brake as well. Probably the brake pad, Yeah,
- 1:59:33it's probably fading or something.
- 1:59:34Could be the brake pad. But what this guy's talking
- 1:59:36about is definite cables. Ash or seas calipers?
- 1:59:39Yeah, the caliper is what I'm thinking.
- 1:59:41Yeah, because my. I've owned 9, that's the first
- 1:59:44problem. No more, no more.
- 1:59:48Yeah, the fact that you've had 9, two 40s and you're not sure
- 1:59:52about the heat brake cables yet, you're getting rid of them too
- 1:59:54quick. Dude, the drum brake.
- 1:59:56Anything with the drum brake? Yeah, locks up super good.
- 1:59:58Yeah, yeah. When it when it does.
- 2:00:00Work once, once I'm out for like a lap and I come back into the
- 2:00:03pits, dude, I'd be pulling up to my pit spot just like like I
- 2:00:08could be going like 2 miles an hour.
- 2:00:09Yeah, that's true. That's the one thing I am I like
- 2:00:12about the Z. Oh yeah, the.
- 2:00:13Drum. Yeah, the drum is nice.
- 2:00:15Sorry, that goes. Let's see.
- 2:00:21If fish could talk, would you still eat them?
- 2:00:26I really don't eat fish. I would.
- 2:00:30Are you allergic to? No, but my sister is and I've
- 2:00:33had fish and I still get scared. Oh, you get scared that you
- 2:00:37might have like a reaction. No, I don't know what it is.
- 2:00:39I'm just like freaked out by it. I don't know what it is.
- 2:00:42Is it because I'll have like Calamar or something?
- 2:00:45Like if it's sitting there but I'm not, Yeah.
- 2:00:47But that's fucking like circle that shit looks like.
- 2:00:51It looks like an onion ring. Yeah, it does.
- 2:00:53I'm I'm literally allergic to that and I love calamari.
- 2:00:57Yeah, I don't know. I I wouldn't need it even if
- 2:00:59they talk because I don't need. It Malcolm.
- 2:01:03Are we talking like English? Like they're speaking English?
- 2:01:05Yes. I would just ask them.
- 2:01:09Yo, you mind if I. Eat you.
- 2:01:11Yeah. They mind.
- 2:01:14Yeah, what? Well, fuck them, I'm.
- 2:01:17Eating them. There you go, I have.
- 2:01:20Right before you put it in your mouth, no.
- 2:01:22Wait, not wait. They're talking while you're
- 2:01:24eating. No, no, no.
- 2:01:24I mean, well, if you're eating them alive.
- 2:01:26Oh. Sushi.
- 2:01:28Like you're putting the, you're putting the crabs in the bucket.
- 2:01:31You imagine you went to a sushi restaurant and all you hear in
- 2:01:34the back is no. Literally.
- 2:01:37Yeah, literally yeah. Stop, stop it.
- 2:01:41This is what I think of guys when people talk about like,
- 2:01:45don't hurt my cat, but. The other day, the other day
- 2:01:48that's what I think of. Dude in college my doctor made
- 2:01:50me go on like a plant diet for like 2 weeks.
- 2:01:54Yeah, you. Fucking vegan.
- 2:01:57Hold up. Yeah.
- 2:01:59I feel like I could do it, and I feel like I also would enjoy it.
- 2:02:02OK, I'm not going to do it. It.
- 2:02:06It costs a lot to be a vegetarian.
- 2:02:07Oh, yeah, it costs a lot. You ever go to that section of
- 2:02:10the grocery store? There's nothing.
- 2:02:11Removers everyday and get falafel that's.
- 2:02:14What I would do? Fried ass food.
- 2:02:17No, I'm talking like I'm talking like what kind of options do
- 2:02:20would I have? Like I fuck with vegetables.
- 2:02:23I would just end up eating mad vegetables.
- 2:02:24That sounds so fucking boring to me that.
- 2:02:27Sounds all right. Yeah, like it does.
- 2:02:30Sound like you. Look a little Indian.
- 2:02:31And then and then you'd like, you'd need to get protein.
- 2:02:34So what are you going to do? Like.
- 2:02:35Eat a fucking chicken. No, I would eat like mushrooms
- 2:02:39or Oh my God or like tofu or some shit.
- 2:02:43There's protein in tofu. Yeah, there's protein and
- 2:02:47mozzarella cheese, too. OK.
- 2:02:48Then I eat some cheese. Dairy.
- 2:02:50I guess so if I drank. Milk and like but didn't eat
- 2:02:53meat. What would?
- 2:02:55Vegetarian. So what would I be vegetarian?
- 2:02:57That I'd be vegetarian. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:02:59You think that would attract women or?
- 2:03:01No. Well, actually it would attract
- 2:03:03some women. So the ones you don't want.
- 2:03:06I ain't trying to lose all the all the shots I got, bro.
- 2:03:08What the fuck? Yeah.
- 2:03:10I'll just keep eating steak. There's a lot of different.
- 2:03:11People out there, you know? I don't know, I had a weird
- 2:03:15texture. Going vegetarian to attract
- 2:03:17women is crazy though. Dude, yeah.
- 2:03:19It was a joke, but it was, it was more or less because like
- 2:03:22eating the other, like you ever get like a bad texture
- 2:03:25experience and then you're like, yeah, I did not like that.
- 2:03:30It was a gristle and a steak. OK, no, I.
- 2:03:33If I like, if I. If I get that in a steak, I
- 2:03:35don't give a fuck. I'm not.
- 2:03:36Going to eat it, though I typically wouldn't, but there
- 2:03:38was something about me eating the steak that day that you
- 2:03:40felt. Bad for the cow.
- 2:03:42Yeah, I guess. OK.
- 2:03:44But it was like the way that the the bite was but.
- 2:03:47That initiated it. I was like, what the fuck was
- 2:03:50that? And then and then I was like,
- 2:03:52they really thinking about what I was eating and I was like.
- 2:03:54You're eating an animal. You're eating a living creature.
- 2:03:56Yeah, but that's you're eating. A human arm or something?
- 2:03:59That's human nature though. Not that, but that's human
- 2:04:02nature though, for us to be like for generations our fucking
- 2:04:05family has been eating cows and pigs and fucking.
- 2:04:09It's natural. Yeah, Yeah.
- 2:04:11But why? Why, why?
- 2:04:12Why are we thinking about this this way?
- 2:04:14It's got to be that COVID vaccine.
- 2:04:17That's what my landlord would say.
- 2:04:18Why? Are we thinking about that way
- 2:04:20because your, your mind is opening up and you're like, OK.
- 2:04:23I have a big texture thing I don't like like weird textures
- 2:04:26with food. Yeah, if I get a fucked up piece
- 2:04:29of chicken, dude, I won't eat chicken for that.
- 2:04:30Yeah, the chicken's actually way worse than I.
- 2:04:32Hate the chicken? Steak is different.
- 2:04:33I'll fucking just like either eat it or spit it out if I don't
- 2:04:36want it. But chicken I'll.
- 2:04:38I'll like not eat for like. Yeah, I know exactly what.
- 2:04:41You're talking like one of my fears is just eating something.
- 2:04:43Like you get something from a restaurant or something.
- 2:04:44There's just a cockroach in it. Oh, that's like one of my
- 2:04:47biggest. Fears.
- 2:04:48Damn. Milk of I don't even want to
- 2:04:49think about. That yeah, that sounds terrible.
- 2:04:51Like I always think about that. I'm like fuck that would suck so
- 2:04:53bad. Like what would I do?
- 2:04:54I guess I would just never eat again.
- 2:04:56I just, I would be so scared to fuck you ever.
- 2:04:58Seen those those things where those videos will where people
- 2:05:03will cut open like a can they bought from the store like it
- 2:05:07was a drink or something and there's a dead mouse at the
- 2:05:09bottom of it. Yeah, yeah, like something like
- 2:05:11that or like, imagine that you buy like, pasta or something.
- 2:05:14There's a bug like a Roach inside of it.
- 2:05:16You're like, OK, dude. Like I was just trying to
- 2:05:18fucking eat some rice. Yeah, the vegetarian thing
- 2:05:22sounded sick. Yeah, until you get what is it
- 2:05:24called E coli or? Something.
- 2:05:26How do I get that? Isn't that shit in Chipotle?
- 2:05:30Eat up. E coli.
- 2:05:32What is the E coli got to do with being a vegetarian?
- 2:05:34I'm eating all vegetables. Fresh produce and stuff.
- 2:05:37Yeah, I think it's in. That I would look forward to
- 2:05:38getting really nice ball movements because of the fibre I
- 2:05:42would get. Fibre I would get from all the.
- 2:05:44Vegetables How bad are your bowel movements?
- 2:05:47I'm just they're not bad, I'm just saying I would have better
- 2:05:49ones. Yo we might not want to say this
- 2:05:51on here but I'm going to say it anyway.
- 2:05:52AG one, should we eat straight? Dude though, my bowel movements
- 2:05:56were so fired when I was taken. Yeah, I'm just saying I know it.
- 2:06:00I'll. Just be eating French fries, mad
- 2:06:03French fries all day. OK, Johnny's obviously.
- 2:06:06Not like. Did you have the a lot of fries
- 2:06:08when you're in Japan was they were good as fuck?
- 2:06:09I actually didn't, but I had McDonald's and it wasn't the
- 2:06:12same. No, the McDonald's sucks there
- 2:06:13that girl dude the. BK was busting there, I ain't
- 2:06:16going to lie, BK. Dude the McDonald's I had was 3
- 2:06:20and it still didn't taste fucking good.
- 2:06:21It's. Because they don't have the
- 2:06:22poison in it, Yeah. That's exactly it.
- 2:06:24Doesn't have enough bad shit in it.
- 2:06:25Yeah, it's nuts. I think they put MSG or
- 2:06:28something in McDonald's. Oh, you don't say.
- 2:06:31Right. Is that normal?
- 2:06:32Like, yeah, that. Whatever is in it over here
- 2:06:35makes it taste very fucking better.
- 2:06:38Yeah. You know what's crazy?
- 2:06:39If I eat McDonald's here, I'm going to want McDonald's a lot
- 2:06:42again. But there I had it and I was
- 2:06:44you're like, I'm good. Yeah.
- 2:06:45I was like, oh, I ate it. I'm good, dude.
- 2:06:47It was going to go. That's what.
- 2:06:48Food is supposed to do to you. It was.
- 2:06:50So like overrated. I was like, I don't even fuck
- 2:06:56with McDonald's like that. Actually like I was.
- 2:06:58Able with McDonald's and I was just like, yeah, yeah.
- 2:07:02BK was good over there, ain't going to lie.
- 2:07:05Domino's was pretty good. Yeah, that doesn't.
- 2:07:07Surprise me, to be honest, because so, yeah, doesn't that
- 2:07:12doesn't surprise me. I love Domino's.
- 2:07:14I had KFC once, it was I. Can't remember if I had KFC
- 2:07:17there. It wasn't bad, probably.
- 2:07:19It was probably good as fuck. Probably better than McDonald's.
- 2:07:24Someone wants more photos and videos of Malcolm bouldering
- 2:07:27with no shirt on. Who said that?
- 2:07:31Don't be. Don't be posting shit like that
- 2:07:33and then asking a question like like like they did something.
- 2:07:36Wrong. Yeah, my fault, Tom.
- 2:07:38His name is. Nazero No.
- 2:07:41Velasco. Oh, it's your lover again.
- 2:07:44He's back. He's No that's.
- 2:07:47Nothing. Oh dude.
- 2:07:48I, I, I looked at the story and I was like, how does this guy
- 2:07:53just not get fat? Throw it up, man.
- 2:07:57No. Malcolm posted a video of him
- 2:08:00like doing some sort of shit on the Rockwall and I was like,
- 2:08:03this dude is ripped. Yeah, I know.
- 2:08:05But and then, you know, I commented jail body shows your
- 2:08:14leg muscles. Why don't you ever wear shorts?
- 2:08:18He's running brightly. No, he's roasting you right now,
- 2:08:21Malcolm. Fuck him, tell him.
- 2:08:24Meet me at the Rockwall dude. Yeah.
- 2:08:27What's JD 3 mean? Jet Davis, that's.
- 2:08:31All the event OK. Yeah, the one that we didn't go
- 2:08:33to. I'm really bummed about that,
- 2:08:35but. Why are you not going?
- 2:08:36Because I don't have to drive a fucking whole car to Texas.
- 2:08:40Oh well, you would just go and hang out.
- 2:08:42I thought we were just going to go and hang out.
- 2:08:43I can't even do. That I would want to drift that
- 2:08:45shit. I got no bread right now.
- 2:08:46Yeah, you're going to a street drift event and you're like
- 2:08:49telling Frankie not to drift. It's crazy.
- 2:08:51Ask. Frankie, about the Book of
- 2:08:52Enoch. You all know about the Book of
- 2:08:54Enoch. No.
- 2:08:57We're going to be here for. Another hour I feel like I've
- 2:08:58heard I'm going. To go to bed.
- 2:09:00I think the book of Enoch is from what I remember, some
- 2:09:03ancient texts that basically talks about how other people, I
- 2:09:09guess you could say aliens came here and created man or
- 2:09:14modified. What the fuck?
- 2:09:15I'm pretty sure. Can you look out the book of
- 2:09:17Enoch, Malcolm ENOCHI think that's what it is.
- 2:09:24That's like kind of like the. Like a Milky mushroom.
- 2:09:28Oh, now it looks like the Bible that.
- 2:09:29Has nothing to do with the enoki mushroom.
- 2:09:33This seems like a fucking Ethan Lazarus question.
- 2:09:36All of angels sent into the Neph Nephilim.
- 2:09:39Yeah, those are the giants. OK, maybe I'm not completely
- 2:09:44right, but go to show more. Is this a Ethan Lazarus
- 2:09:48question? He might know some of it.
- 2:09:51I know Dan Sharif would know this shit.
- 2:09:53Actually, that that book of Enoch was it's just another way
- 2:09:58for the people to. Well, this is apparently like
- 2:10:01the oldest text or something. I think was.
- 2:10:07That was that it's. Pretty good is.
- 2:10:09That not a good either. It's pretty good, yeah.
- 2:10:13I don't know. Look up what is the craziest
- 2:10:18shit in the Book of Enoch verbatim.
- 2:10:22Highlights, OK. Thank you, Malcolm.
- 2:10:25There it is, the fall of the Watchers and the Nephilim.
- 2:10:28The most famous narrative in Enoch describes a group of
- 2:10:31angels called the Watchers who descended to Earth, take human
- 2:10:34wives, and father a race of giants known as the Nephilim.
- 2:10:38OK, Frank. You were thinking of the
- 2:10:41Anunnaki. Whatever.
- 2:10:43Yeah. Is that WAG?
- 2:10:44Is that correct to? Me.
- 2:10:44No, it was right. Right.
- 2:10:46So SR20. OK.
- 2:10:47Yeah. So there's a different one I'm
- 2:10:49thinking of. Yeah.
- 2:10:50This one sounds kind of boring to be honest with you.
- 2:10:52God I I love the fact that the listeners are so aligned with
- 2:10:55the things that that some of us know.
- 2:10:58That's so awesome. Because of the corruption caused
- 2:11:00by the fallen angels, Enoch witnesses a cry for justice
- 2:11:04rising from the earth. Yeah, see, I don't know nothing
- 2:11:06about this shit, but I guess. I definitely don't know anything
- 2:11:08of what we're talking about at the moment.
- 2:11:10Ancient Jewish apocalyptic text that profoundly shaped the early
- 2:11:13Christian theology. Interesting.
- 2:11:16Oh, so they own that too. They own everything, shit.
- 2:11:20Though excluded from most biblical canons today, it's
- 2:11:24highlights include the origins of demons.
- 2:11:26Oh, so this is cool. This is like a This is like a
- 2:11:29bonus feature option on a DVD, except it's the Bible.
- 2:11:33It's like it's like alternative ending.
- 2:11:36Yeah, this type of. Shit.
- 2:11:38I don't know if I like that. This is like behind the scenes.
- 2:11:42Frankie's going to read this. Honestly, I kind of want to read
- 2:11:44this shit. This sounds kind of interesting,
- 2:11:46but the other? One's better.
- 2:11:47What's that one called, Malcolm? Look that one up real quick.
- 2:11:50The Anunnaki. Yeah, the Anunnaki are is the
- 2:11:53alien race that came down and altered human beings.
- 2:11:57Nah, look at that. Nah, hell no.
- 2:12:00Yeah, they have nightmares, do they?
- 2:12:01The fact that they used the word Mesopotamian like bruh we were,
- 2:12:05you remember learning about Mesopotamia?
- 2:12:07Yeah. Is that a era of?
- 2:12:09It was the. It was when the IT was like the
- 2:12:11fruitful, bountiful Earth. OK, like.
- 2:12:18Yeah, there it is. Cradle of civilization.
- 2:12:21Come on, that's literally what the the the like epicenter of
- 2:12:25like. Oh, so it's just the name of a
- 2:12:27certain geologic or geographical whatever area, area, place.
- 2:12:32OK, but now it's called yeah. So modern day Iraq, Kuwait,
- 2:12:36Syria, Turkey. OK and they think that's where
- 2:12:42everything begins. Civilization started or some of.
- 2:12:44It that was like the hub. I don't know dude.
- 2:12:48You want my honest opinion right now?
- 2:12:50I do think aliens came down and modified us.
- 2:12:53I do. There you go.
- 2:12:54I think that we're just. I think they still do, yeah.
- 2:12:56I don't think that we're all just aliens.
- 2:12:58You ever meet somebody and you're like, yeah, what do you
- 2:13:01do in your free time? Dude and some of these fucking
- 2:13:05things they draw on the walls and shit is so weird.
- 2:13:08Hieroglyphics. Yeah, like they're so fucking.
- 2:13:11Crazy. Yes, dude, they've always been
- 2:13:13crazy. Like what are they doing?
- 2:13:14This for this one doesn't seem too weird to me.
- 2:13:16Kneel before thy cock. Yeah, but like, there's some
- 2:13:19that are like you'll, you'll see like things in the sky.
- 2:13:23Like that's a, that's a hookah right there.
- 2:13:27I don't know, Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know.
- 2:13:29And like like what are they doing there?
- 2:13:33Like somebody's bringing them one single piece of toilet
- 2:13:36paper. Every person just like 1 sheet.
- 2:13:38I'm not going to lie, these don't look weird at all.
- 2:13:40This one they're putting they're cooking chickens.
- 2:13:43Oh. He looked up.
- 2:13:44Anunnaki people, huh? I don't.
- 2:13:50Know man, yeah, I should. I'm not getting a I'm not
- 2:13:53getting like a I'm not here standing on the back.
- 2:13:55Of my neck. Me either.
- 2:14:00I guess this is just supposed to be a old.
- 2:14:02Yeah, OK, an old civilization. And I guess people just turned
- 2:14:06it into. People also search for Scoober
- 2:14:10Scooby-doo. All right, that's basically it.
- 2:14:14I mean, there's some other stuff right here.
- 2:14:17How about I don't know how to say his name?
- 2:14:19Ryosai joining Front St. Opinion on WE.
- 2:14:22Were talking about that on the way down here and I was like.
- 2:14:24Ryosi, how to say his name? Front St. would figure out some
- 2:14:27fucking crazy ass way to drift with somebody from Japan.
- 2:14:31I think it's pronounced Ryosi Ryosi.
- 2:14:34I saw him driving at Mahon when we were at Kansai All Stars.
- 2:14:38I heard he's pretty good. And I was like, I saw the the
- 2:14:41video, the promo, and then I was like, yo, Diego, is this the guy
- 2:14:47that we saw? Because like his 15 is like red
- 2:14:51and yellow. Yeah.
- 2:14:52Or it looks good shade of red and yellow and it's it's a
- 2:14:56pretty high. Tom called me today talking
- 2:14:58about this and I was like, Tom, I have no idea what the fuck
- 2:15:00you're talking about. And I saw that video on that
- 2:15:02Jimmy poster or someone and I was like, oh, OK, so they're
- 2:15:05going to bring the car here. And the car is Jay-Z?
- 2:15:07No, I don't think so. No, it's Jimmy's S it's.
- 2:15:10Jimmy's S15, they're bringing the guy here.
- 2:15:14The kids going to build it to his style or I don't know how
- 2:15:18it's going to work out, but. The car's in Japan, though.
- 2:15:20Dude, they're just coming up with such crazy shit and I can
- 2:15:22barely fucking keep my lights on.
- 2:15:26Yeah, I do like one thing once a week and.
- 2:15:29And on that note. Tired of this?
- 2:15:33I don't know. No.
- 2:15:34Good luck with that, Front Street.
- 2:15:36You know, I'm probably going to be there supporting.
- 2:15:38Yeah. We'll all be around you doing
- 2:15:43random ass errands to make sure that your drifting experience
- 2:15:47with Rio, say, goes smooth. OK.
- 2:15:53God I hate my life. All right, everybody, thanks for
- 2:15:55listening to the episode of the After Hours podcast.
- 2:15:58Yeah, we're going to try to make sure Carl doesn't hang himself
- 2:16:01tonight. We'll see you on the next one.
- 2:16:02That'll be chill. Thank you guys so much for
- 2:16:04listening. This has been actually a really
- 2:16:06another good thanks. For hanging out with us.
- 2:16:07Thanks Johnny. It.
- 2:16:08Was a good. For not buying me any cigarettes
- 2:16:10from Japan. Sorry Alex.
- 2:16:13Good to have you back. Nice and safe, TuneIn.
- 2:16:15For the next one. Frankie's going to finish his
- 2:16:17car. Yeah, right.
- 2:16:21Z is life. When are you coming to Japan?
- 2:17:06When am I coming to Japan? Yeah, I don't know.
- 2:17:11But thank you for that invite, Arigato Gazai Mas.
- 2:17:14Yes, you are. You are invited.
- 2:17:16You have an open invite. Carl says he's going back in
- 2:17:19October. What's the?
- 2:17:21Over under with over under on that.
- 2:17:23What are the chances he's bullshitting?
- 2:17:25I mean, he went last time, so he didn't.
- 2:17:28He might just. Yeah, but he also says he's
- 2:17:30moving to Georgia, he's moving to Japan, he's going to Japan
- 2:17:32again. He said he was going to East
- 2:17:34Coast back. That was a lie.
- 2:17:35We're not going. And you know, so there's a lot
- 2:17:38of bullshit going on. I don't know.
- 2:17:41Yeah, you know the economy. OK.
- 2:17:47Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed listening to some of Johnny's
- 2:17:51experiences in Japan. I actually didn't even hear some
- 2:17:53of those before. So that was that was fun for me
- 2:17:56as well. I mean, yeah.
- 2:17:57Sound like he had a very free flowing Japan trip where he just
- 2:18:01like wherever the wind took him it like he gravitated towards
- 2:18:06places naturally and just worked out.
- 2:18:08That's the best way to do anything.
- 2:18:09Yeah, that's, yeah, that's the way to do a vacation when you
- 2:18:12have an itinerary for a vacation just feels like, oh.
- 2:18:14Yeah, when you got that motherfucker, that's just like,
- 2:18:17no, no, no, we have to go to this spot.
- 2:18:22You don't have an option, you know what I mean?
- 2:18:24Like that one guy that just screaming, that's like, OK,
- 2:18:26dude, we get it. Like we had a plan.
- 2:18:28Guess what? The plan's changing, so you have
- 2:18:31to evolve with the plan. And if you bring my tip, my, my
- 2:18:34advice to people, if you're going with a group, make sure
- 2:18:38that group can split into two groups.
- 2:18:41Yeah, because you guys are not all going to agree on things.
- 2:18:45Fuck it. Three groups if need.
- 2:18:46Be three groups is even better. So that's how our group was when
- 2:18:51we went to Japan and it worked out fine.
- 2:18:53If everyone like you just have to realize that right off the
- 2:18:56bat that everyone is not going to want to do the same thing.
- 2:18:58Yeah, hell no, That'd be hell. And you have to realize that
- 2:19:01when you go anywhere with a group, if there's 10 of you,
- 2:19:05you'd split that group up because it's that's not going to
- 2:19:08work. At the end of the day, it's
- 2:19:09every man for themselves. Yeah.
- 2:19:11So just my piece of advice, maybe that's because I just like
- 2:19:14doing my own thing and I don't want to follow the itinerary.
- 2:19:17I. Don't.
- 2:19:17Yeah, I don't like following. Following I can't say it
- 2:19:22itinerary itinerary. Itinerary is the hard worst.
- 2:19:25Following you can say. Following itineraries, yeah.
- 2:19:29Yeah, but it is what it. Is.
- 2:19:31But yeah, as long as you go with the right people, you're going
- 2:19:32to have a great trip. Like Johnny, which is him and
- 2:19:35his girlfriend. That's it, that's it.
- 2:19:36That's a good way to go. It is.
- 2:19:38I'm still mad at him though, but I feel like I I should.
- 2:19:42Have been there when he wanted the third wheel.
- 2:19:44I I would have no, I mean, I sound I don't want.
- 2:19:48Wait, what? That's fucking crazy.
- 2:19:53All right, everybody, well, we are very busy in the shop, so
- 2:19:56there's going to be another fast outro.
- 2:19:58We put some more parts on the website.
- 2:20:01I mean, I know I did. I don't know if Malcolm's been
- 2:20:02doing that, but we are almost completely out of origin parts.
- 2:20:05They'll be coming. A restock be coming in the next
- 2:20:07month or two, so you can check out that when it arrives.
- 2:20:11We'll be posting it on our Instagram.
- 2:20:13We have a raffle going on right now currently on our website.
- 2:20:15It's for a basically a $800 suspension package.
- 2:20:20It's pretty much going to be your choosing.
- 2:20:21It really depends. If we carry the products, then
- 2:20:23it's going to be fine. If it's some crazy thing from
- 2:20:25Japan that we can't get, then it's not going to count.
- 2:20:27So I'm kind of pushing GK tech stuff, but obviously ISR, we
- 2:20:31have that. We sell SPC as well, so S.
- 2:20:35PL. SPL also if you want to run my
- 2:20:39pockets and yeah, so with there's a lot of options, but
- 2:20:42yeah, $800 you can get a lot of rear suspension arms, probably
- 2:20:45finish the whole car. You can do the front suspension
- 2:20:48if you want. And the way to enter this raffle
- 2:20:51is, guess what? You just have to spend $5 on our
- 2:20:54website. So every $5 spent is an entry.
- 2:20:57Every $5 spent on Faction Motorsports merch and products
- 2:21:01is double entries. And our brand of the month is GK
- 2:21:05Tech. So any any GK Tech products is
- 2:21:09triple entries, which is yeah. So if you want, like if you're
- 2:21:13hoping to win the suspension package, but you don't want to,
- 2:21:17you know, get there right now, get some outer tie rods or
- 2:21:19something, and then you might get, you're going to get triple
- 2:21:22entries and then you might actually win the rear suspension
- 2:21:24arm kid that you wanted. So you got options guys.
- 2:21:28We we, we're, we're a shop full of options.
- 2:21:30So, you know, this one is more of a we didn't, we didn't link
- 2:21:34up with a brand this time. We're kind of just doing this
- 2:21:36out of our own goodwill, goodwill, good faith.
- 2:21:40Like we're just screw it, whatever, whatever the people
- 2:21:42want. Power to the people.
- 2:21:44Yeah, and if you can't afford the parts you need now we got a
- 2:21:46firm on the website so you can finance any parts you need,
- 2:21:48which we did talk about on this episode as well.
- 2:21:50I don't know if Carl got let me get any thoughts out, but what I
- 2:21:54wanted to say was basically you should be financing everything
- 2:21:59if you can afford to pay it off. If you can't, you shouldn't be
- 2:22:03financing anything. That's.
- 2:22:05True that. Yeah, I guess I'm supposed to
- 2:22:07say that's not financial advice, but that's literally financial
- 2:22:10advice that's. Basic.
- 2:22:12Yeah, basic financial. Yeah, that's, yeah, that's
- 2:22:15literally how it's supposed to work.
- 2:22:16If someone's like, oh, you can finance this and you're not
- 2:22:18going to get interest for four weeks and you're do the math and
- 2:22:20you're like, I can pay this off in one week, boom, done.
- 2:22:23Now you just have some more money in your pocket and you can
- 2:22:27use their money in the meantime, so.
- 2:22:28And benefit your credit. Exactly.
- 2:22:30Yeah, it will build your credit depending on what system you're
- 2:22:34using. I don't.
- 2:22:34I mean, I guess a firm will, but some of these shop pay.
- 2:22:37I don't. Know those will.
- 2:22:38No, a lot of those don't. Yeah, it depends on what you're
- 2:22:41using, but yeah. Only impacts if you're late.
- 2:22:44What a world we live in. Moving on.
- 2:22:48What a world we live in. OK yeah, as Frankie said, we got
