We're two for two from people coming up for the for the hometown hangout. No shit. God damn, I got good parking tonight. Listen. I got front row. Here's how it works, man. I figured this out having to racetrack. Okay. It was supposed to fucking rain. It was supposed to. If it's over a 20% chance, they ain't coming. No. Because it might rain on it. And the water's different now than it was in the 50s. I mean it kind of is. It may be.
SPEAKER_01I mean, it yeah. I mean, if you haven't put it under a microscope, do you really know if it is or not? I I think fluoride wasn't introduced until later. Fluoride come out of the rain? No. You said water. I I meant rainwater. Oh, rainwater? Yeah. Oh no. I see. I I don't think I don't think they chemtrailed that bad in the fucking 50s. Conspiracy theories.
SPEAKER_05I'm just saying. Dun dun dun. I believe them. We need that episode. That was funny. The one with Chuck when we did the that was hilarious.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.

unknownBut it's not addictive.
SPEAKER_01I didn't. No, no, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. There's a there we can get on that tangent because I don't know. That do. Yeah. Because is it addictive? No. Is doing it addictive? Do you have gain an addiction from it? Yes.
SPEAKER_00Like the habit of it?
SPEAKER_01The habit of it. But I think that's what it I think that's what addictive would be. You don't you don't you don't scratch for it. You don't fucking try to get sell cheeseburgers for it and all that stuff. No, that's true. But I have seen people. That's what I don't get with most people. Okay? Because I know you like you could just stop today and be all right. I I'd be fine, but I'd be an asshole for a while. Just for a minute. Yeah. I'd be an asshole asshole for a while. My fucking words wouldn't come out near as clear. Or better. I no. Believe me at work. I'm sitting there talking. Kool-Aid will look at me and go, the fuck did you just say? I'm like, I know, dude. Like, yeah, just fucking catch me after work. I'll get that sentence out.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Um just call me after work. We can continue this conversation. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01No, no. I literally, like today, they said something and I walked fucking five feet. And they're like, what's up? I don't know. They're like, you walked up here for something. I'm like, fucking 100% I did. I wanted to tell you guys something. They're like, what was it? I'm fucking fine. Turned around, went right back to my toolbox. Ten minutes later, I'm like, oh yeah. Walked up and I'm like, hey. And he's like, hey, what do you mean? And I go, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm gonna lose it again. Don't interrupt me. Yeah, don't fuck me up.
unknownShh.
SPEAKER_01Now that might not be because of that. It might be actually because I do show the signs of Alzheimer's pretty bad.
SPEAKER_00Is our music playing or is that next door?
SPEAKER_01It's not our.
SPEAKER_05That's us playing through the building. So it must be next door. Yeah. Okay. I also hear the air conditioner in my headphones, so I don't. I do. That's all I hear. The air conditioner? Yeah. I think it's the air conditioner. It's just in our headphones, though. You don't hear it in the microphones. Microphones.
SPEAKER_01Well. When you run it through all the stuff. Yeah, it's gone. It's gone.
SPEAKER_05Uh yeah, this uh look, we had to cancel the hometown hangout.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, because there's a 20% chance that these motherfuckers were gonna shoot.
SPEAKER_05If I wouldn't have canceled it, everybody would have been pissed. Because there's water in the parking lot. Yeah. And it's not bad water, but there is water in the parking lot. I weren't out there at that place. That fucking that might as well be a gravel parking lot. Might as well. Might as well be a gravel yard. Flooded. That asphalt had water spots in it. I had to couldn't.
SPEAKER_00That water was I didn't want to get water in my fender wheels.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, yeah. All over the bottom of my car, up in my drain plugs and shit. Plus the other thing, and I should have, I should have clarified this.
SPEAKER_01Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Just just to be fair and all that, half the half the people would have to see if their shit was leaking. So if they splash water up there, they wouldn't be able to see if it was leaking. Fucking got my new balances wet. Yeah. I've never seen that. I haven't seen many Corvettes in the parking lot.
SPEAKER_05However, also, um, I didn't think about this until just now. What's that? But also tomorrow morning, there's a lot of people that are leaving for the hot rod tour of Texas. Oh shit, I forgot about that. Bobby's Parkman and Jeremy Texas.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05I forgot all about it. So they probably wouldn't have come anyway tonight.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_05And I forgot all about it until just now, even though I knew because Brian Smith was here earlier and had us work on the Mustang.
SPEAKER_00Yep. Bye, Brian. You know what?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but at the same time, you know, you you saved those guys. Those guys would have mad dashed to get here and cram their whole night and then mad dash to go do the hot rod tour week. Now they're gonna go rested. That's what I'm saying. Like they're not gonna be like, oh, I was at the fucking hangout last night, a fucking piece of shit.
SPEAKER_05I'm all hung over from burgers and shit. Yeah. But also I talked to Mike and Lori from Smashed and Loaded, and they were like, hey, we'll come, but man, I really don't want to buy a bunch of food and nobody show up, and then we just throw it all away. I'm like, no, hell no, because I can't eat more than half of one of y'all's burgers.
SPEAKER_01So I've been I've been I've been killing them. Um Bro, hey, I'm hungry again. Yeah, really? Like, like I've been taking this medicine four times a day and all that stuff.

SPEAKER_00Mine went off once.
SPEAKER_05At the same time. I got two on my tank. Anyway. Um It wasn't me. An overwhelming majority of hot rods and custom guys and all that started mini trucks. Yeah. And there is as much or more fabrication that goes into building a mini truck as there isn't anything else in the car hobby. Um look.
SPEAKER_00You can do it for cheap, or you can go all out.
SPEAKER_05You can do hot rodders call it channeling. Mini truckers call it body dropping. Yep. Yeah. I mean, do you know what I'm saying? Yep. Um there's a lot of the same that goes into both. Yeah. You know?
SPEAKER_01Um You know it always worries it pisses me off about mini trucks. When you see them just hauling lawnmowers in the back, it's like you're letting that bitch go to waste. Yeah, that truck, that truck's all fucked up. You need a full size for that.
SPEAKER_05Uh you know, there's a lot of things that that do translate that I don't think the hot rods recognize track trucks. It's like forgetting where you came from. Like you you you used to dig mini trucks and built mini trucks. You know what I mean? Before you started slicking your hair back and rolling the cuffs of your pants up and things like that, you were you were wearing cavericis and shit in your mini truck. What is that? Don't act like you weren't. I don't even know. What the fuck are you all the pants from the nineties? Oh, I didn't I didn't get name brand, nothing. The Z. Cavaricis with the tag on the fly. You remember all that? Mm-hmm. You were still greasing your hair back, but I didn't grease my hair. There's different grease. I don't remember that. You wouldn't. Yeah. Tight wooden. You were tight rolling your Z Cavaricis in your Francois Jabrot fucking pants.

She was like, 50's car, and I went, yeah, I was gonna put it in custom, but it's custom with a C on there, not with a K. She goes, Well, it was supposed to be custom with a K, but we just didn't get any to come. And I said, That's because you weren't promoting that you had it. If you promote a local show that's class show that you're doing a custom class, yeah, I can fill this place up with customs. Yeah. Like a lot. Like they don't come because there's nothing that their car fits in. Right. All of a sudden they're all fighting for 50s car. Yeah. All of them. You know what I mean? So I said, so I put this one in 50s car. Well, under construction. You know that I have a real what would you call that?
SPEAKER_01It's a hankering. So is there only one Decepticon badge on one side?
SPEAKER_05So the under construction class bothers the fuck out of me in any car show. You worded that well. Do you like that? Thank you. I practiced. Yeah. Under construction does not is not the same thing as underfunded. Right. Under construction is not the same thing as I'm out of money, and this is where it's at. Yeah. There's nothing wrong with that. No. Put it in daily driver. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Put it in. Jerry Bissell has a cool class. It says it ain't pretty, but it's mine. Yeah. Put in that one. You know what I mean? Ugly Duckling class. I don't know. Come up with another fucking class.
SPEAKER_01The thing is, is when you're building your daily driver and you're not gonna make any progress until you've got the cash, you're not really making progress.
SPEAKER_05So when we had the 55, we pulled all the vinyl off of it, we pulled all the chrome off of it, we started welding up holes. Yeah. We repainted the roof. Right. And we were filling in holes and grinding and metalworking and putting filler down. Because it's under construction. But we still wanted to take it to shows. Yeah. So we took it to a show and we had put it in under construction because it was truly under construction. Yeah. The whole hood was primered because at that time that's when we got it Louvered. Yeah. Um, we got beat by a practically fully restored Volkswagen bus. Like That's not under construction. Correct. Look, if you're the person and you listen to Hometown Hot Roder, because we actually had some fans at the show Sunday, if you're the person that I'm about to talk about, I don't mean any offense, it's not your fault. No. You should be told that your car does not belong in a certain class. Yes. 1964 Corvette. Fuely. Fuel injected. Bad bitch. Yeah. Four speed. No. My bad, wrong car. No, that was the right car. I don't remember. There was a 61 also, but I think the 61 was the one that had the L the LS in it. Anyway, no, I think the 64 did. Nice fucking car. Like every bit of a$150,000 car at Barrett Jackson. Damn it. And that's pretty low for one of those cars. But under construction. What? And it won. And it won. A fucking Audi R8. Okay. I don't care if I offend you because douchebag. Uh entered in three classes. Yeah. Paid 20 bucks for each class. Okay. He entered uh import. Okay. Makes sense? Makes sense. He entered uh 2010 in a newer car. Okay. And he entered original. In a class car show, original doesn't is not the same thing as it's exactly how I bought it and drove it off the showroom floor three years ago. Yeah, no. Original was designed for an unrestored we'll say a 66 Pontiac Le Mont.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_05Or a 70 Mustang.
SPEAKER_00It could be a model A that still is.
SPEAKER_05I mean put for this this uh this purpose we'll use a we'll say it could be a 66 Pontiac Le Month. Right. That's perfect and stock and origin and fucking amazing. It could be an 86 iRock Z that is a hundred percent unrestored in stock and as clean as the top of this table would be if we cleaned it.
SPEAKER_00Yes. Had to throw that in there.
SPEAKER_05Um it could be something like that. Your office manager should clean it. I should get one of those. But no. Mm-mm.
unknownMm-mm.
SPEAKER_05Went to an Audi R8. Yeah, that doesn't make sense. The reason that these cars win in these classes is because they're participant judged. No. So it was a cool car. If you get more homies to vote for your car, you win. That's stupid. Ta-da! Boom. Well, go ahead.
SPEAKER_00No, go ahead. No. I've seen that somewhere else too at a show we went to. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05100%. I'll just say it. Car clubs do it. If you have a car club there and they're all gonna vote for each other. Yep. Because the promoters don't have the balls to tell these big car clubs to go fuck themselves. Yep. You can't vote for each other.
SPEAKER_00Don't be walking around the crowd grabbing people trying to get them to vote for you.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. You can't you you look, I'm not dogging it. That's that's that's cool, but it's not worth going to. How's a I mean we we got we won a car, we won. I'm not throwing a fit because we lost, we got beat, we didn't get beat, we what we won. Yeah. But man, it's just when when you see it could be like one of these badass cars out in the shop. Let's say that we fixed a bunch of stuff, and then they're doing some more stuff to it, so we're waiting on parts, but the car is immaculate. Yeah, don't go take it into under construction because we're waiting for some parts. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's not that's not cool. Um and it's all the car clubs, it ain't just one.
SPEAKER_01No. Shit. I remember he said shit right after I farted. I know, I know we were uh we were at uh we were in uh Bedford uh at a show and all that, and those tundra guys, yeah, they all came in, and I mean I'm talking about like 30 of them. Yeah, 30 of them, but like 50 to 60 percent of them were completely stuck, like they just stopped these people and said, hey. But they all won. Yeah, but they won club participation.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. And look, I'm not dogging it, so please, anybody that's listening, don't think I'm I'm not. But I can tell you that people are tired of it. Yeah. I can tell you that it will eventually fade out. There's a reason that promoters are coming up with incentivized ways to get people to come to their shows. Yeah. There's a reason that people are making things where you can be special if you come. Yep. Right? It I'm not dogging it. Do you make do make your money? Yep. But I can tell you also that it's gonna be the same fucking cars every single fucking week. What was that stupid app they used to have up front? Park it's still oh, it's very much still a thing. Is it really? They want me to put our hangout on park up front. I was like, no. You want to park up front, park up early. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_05That's I mean, no. I ain't doing park up front.
SPEAKER_00What starts at six or six thirty? Six. It's an hour after five o'clock. Most people get off at five o'clock, but you're on time. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Or early. Yeah. It's not that hard. Nope. Um Jeep gets here at 4 30 every day, every Wednesday. Even when we're not having it. Yep.
SPEAKER_00Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_05Uh but like I'm not dogging, I'm not, I'm not talking shit about nobody. Don't get mad at me. But I can tell you that it's not the quality of car because some of those cars are very nice, but you're missing out on so many more nice cars for people to come look at.
SPEAKER_03Yes.
SPEAKER_05And I hate to bust your bubble, but just because you spent money on the car to make it nice and you want to go take it to a show and show it off, very cool. But remember, you are there for the spectators. You're there to entertain people. Yep. They don't get that. You well, the the car show almost all of its spectators are free for local shows. Right. So they're not making money. They're making money off of the people that register for the car show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I understand that. Yeah. But damn, they'll quit having it if there's no spectators. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_05The the restaurants that you're parking in front of, they want the spectators. Yes. They could care less about the 80 cars. They want the 300 people.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_05You know what I'm saying? Yep. Um you you figure let's say it's let's say 80. Yeah. Almost all cars are gonna have two people in them. That's cool. Yeah. So there's 160 people. Yep. Well, if you don't have another two or three hundred spectators, it's really not that great of a show. Nope. It's just not.
SPEAKER_00Yep. It's just a bunch of people standing by their cars.
SPEAKER_05Uh-huh. Talking shit about each other's cars. Yep. Mm-hmm. And then clapping whenever that guy wins an award. Yeah. Yeah, no shit. All right, good job, Bob. Fucking dick. Fucking ass ho. Under construction, my ass. Yeah, right. You know what I mean? Why in the fuck did that motherfucker win 50? You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_01Like, yeah. Yeah. Right? Under construction, he just got his bumper off. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05So almost anywhere else, man, in I've been to a lot. Almost any other state, even if you go to a pop-up Saturday car show, they either don't have awards at all because it's a show that you're just it's okay that I know you spend a bunch of money on your car. I get it. Yeah. I get it. But does it really matter that you took a prize home?
SPEAKER_00No. There's I mean Pismo. Yeah. California. Yeah. The one I grew up going to, they do it every Saturday. Yeah. And there's 50, 60, 70, 80 cars every Saturday. Yeah. No awards. Everybody just comes, hang out, enjoy the car culture, and then everybody goes home.
SPEAKER_05Every Friday or every other Friday night in Santa Maria. Yeah. The same drag that Santa Maria Boulevard that everybody takes up and down for the cruise night at West Coast Customs. Every other Friday night it's the same thing. Yeah. It's about the culture.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. It's not about your$3 trophy that you're going to put up on the wall.
SPEAKER_05Really not. It's really not. No. Now, like for us, it's cool to take a customer's car like taking the Merc and it wins. That's that that helps us. Yeah. You know what I mean? And in for business, it makes sense. Right.
SPEAKER_00But we're not there for a trophy though.
SPEAKER_05For my own shit? Dude, you know how many shows I go to that I pay the 20 bucks and don't register? Yeah. I just pay the 20 bucks to the show and don't fill out a form. Right. Don't put my don't put it up for judging if it's mine. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Like there's several shows you did that with Penny.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. A lot. Yeah. Yep. I'd take the Falcon and I'd pay the money. Yeah. I just didn't get my car judged. Nope. Yeah. Because nobody likes me. So nobody's going to vote for me anyway.
SPEAKER_00I like you. It's okay.
SPEAKER_05Uh two guys voted for me. Hell yeah. But Well, you can go ask everybody. This car club thing, man, and these car clubs bickering and bitching and fighting back and forth with each other. Always. Shut the fuck up.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. You guys aren't gangs, bro.
SPEAKER_05Like, no.
SPEAKER_00You're part of I'm I'm going to say you're part of the problem.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yep. Just stop. The culture's going to die.
SPEAKER_05It is.
SPEAKER_00If something doesn't change.
SPEAKER_05It is. It a hundred percent is. People are going to get tired of this shit. You know what I mean? And like.
SPEAKER_00I just had an epiphany. Okay. Can we do a car show where it's everything everybody hates about cars?
SPEAKER_05What do you mean?
SPEAKER_00Like best of too much chrome. Best of best squatted truck.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um. Best of too many air cleaners. Called the projects. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05He said too many air cleaners.
SPEAKER_00Your stack is too stacked. Best of too many LED lights under the car.
SPEAKER_05There's a lot of those. Yeah. There's a lot of those. That the competition would be big. It would be a lot. But it's in all genres. We should do an underglow show. Do it at night. Only cars with underglows show up and just light up the parking lot with underglows.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_05An underglow show. Call it like a fucking the neon moon. A rave. A rave. Some fucking rock. Was there technomusic in the shop? Um I mean, I got a lot of homies with underglows. Like, I got no problem with underglows.
SPEAKER_01No. Um as long as you don't see the fucking bulb. That shit, that shit drives me fucking nuts. Yeah, as long as it's underglow. Yes.
SPEAKER_05A hue motherfucker. I told Clayton the other day he put his rock lights in. Oh, good. And I called him because we left at the same time that morning. I was like, hey, bro, that your front, your front lights on your front wheel wells. He's like, yeah, I was like, you gotta move them. For one, you can see the entire thing. And for another, they're fucking blinding and you're going to hurt someone. Yeah. It's bright as a motherfucker. Yeah. It's like you gotta move them. Yeah. Like I I know you're grown, but I'm telling you. You gotta do it. First of all, it's gay. Yeah. Second of all, you're gonna get a fucking ticket. Like they're fucking bright. He's like, okay. I'm like, I don't know. Whatever, Dad. I don't know where you're gonna put them, but you gotta put them somewhere. Somewhere. Because it's terrible looking. That bad?
SPEAKER_01In the trash. Yeah. Yeah. In the trash. Nah, they're all right on there.
SPEAKER_05They don't really look that bad lit up. Just the the the front ones, just you can you can see them too well.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Uh other than that, he did a good job this time. It looks good. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01If I ever get a truck, I'm not gonna put rock lights on there, but I'm gonna put my turn signals in it so my whole fender well goes pink, pink. I've seen that. I've seen that. It's kind of cool.
SPEAKER_00I mean uh people put like LEDs in the door handles and shit too.
SPEAKER_05Fuck an underglow show. Hell yeah. It'd be kind of cool.
SPEAKER_00Like a worst of show.
SPEAKER_05A worst of show, yeah. This is two different shows.
SPEAKER_00Right. No, I'm just saying. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. This is two different shows. Huh.
SPEAKER_00I feel like people get their feelings hurt.
SPEAKER_05No. No. Okay. But you could do a common, a common you could do all the common uh common parts awards. Right? Right.
SPEAKER_01But it could be like How many Decepticon stickers do you have on? Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05It used to be ain't scared stickers. Yeah. Now it's Decepticons.
SPEAKER_01Uh it could be most air cleaners. I mean, dude, no, you hey, the mo the most O'Reilly's or the most auto parts uh fucking dress up get. Instead of a club award, we could do a brand award.
SPEAKER_05A brand award? Yeah. Like most cars with one particular brand of wheel. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And there'd be like three competing against each other. Inkies. Yeah, or fooses. Or uh U.S. Mags. Yeah. Riddlers are coming. Riddlers. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Riddlers are if you want to be able to still make fun of the guys with foosas. Yeah. Because they look the fucking same. They do. You could put Krager in there because there's still quite a few cars with Kragers on them. I love Kreggers. I like Kraiggers too. IROC. IROCs. Yep. You have to do 16 and below and 17 and above. You have to do two classes. I like that.
SPEAKER_00US mags would be in the 16 and above. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Big big wheels? Yeah. Yeah. So and you could do um crumb accessories. Yeah. What other mods could you? Uh what else could you do? Um LSs. Mm-hmm. Like the LS award. Oh, that'd be everybody. Um there's just all you could come up with all kinds of functions. All kinds of shit. We're gonna piss a lot of people off with this one. I'm sorry. We're just kidding. Yeah. It's just jokes. Do one like inspection violation. Look, we're a hot rod, we're a fucking hot rod shop, and we see the all of it and we see a lot of the same thing on everything. Oh yeah. Just do Edelbrock carburetor or Holly carburetor. Like you could do like things that are like the most commonly used. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like sniper. Who yeah. Who who has who has the most expensive aluminum radiator? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Who has the worst BM shifter?
SPEAKER_05Who has the worst fucking aftermarket shifter? Yeah. Um who didn't hook up a neutral safety switch? Yeah. Like how many cars will start in gear? Yeah. All of them. All of them. Uh inoperable vintage air. Yeah. Vintage air that doesn't work. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. Uh this will be funny for the custom guys because chop cars just don't fucking have them. Uh working wipers. Working wipers. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Working door poppers. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Um fiberglass wheelies. Whew.
unknownWolf.
SPEAKER_05Hey, let me tell you. It ain't nobody's fault, it ain't the owner's fault, and it's not our customers' fault. But those fiberglass Willie's cars?
SPEAKER_02Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_05No. I always thought I'd want one to big a gaser out of. Nope. I'll never own one because I can't afford a metal one. That bad, huh? Oh my God. Nothing line up.
SPEAKER_00I feel like if the hood was done differently.
SPEAKER_05It's like um, you know, back when did you put model cars when you're a kid? Mm-hmm. The AMT cars were amazing. Yeah. Fitment was great. Yeah. Revell cars were pretty alright. Monograms sucked.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Yeah, they did.
SPEAKER_05Right? Yeah. Yeah. The Willie's full size Willie's cars, they're like big monogram model cars. Ew. Oh. I I mean, T buckets fit together better than that car. Damn. It's fucking bad. Yeah. It's no fucking bueno.
SPEAKER_00That's that's funny because the T buckets one piece.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Yeah. Well.
SPEAKER_00Maybe two.
SPEAKER_05There's a lot of parts. Yeah. There's a lot of parts. Yeah. They have to look right. Yeah. Um. I feel like this is like an episode of just dogging everybody.
SPEAKER_01Oh, why not?
SPEAKER_05Fuck them. We're already 45 minutes. 45 minutes of your shit sucks. Yeah. Um a long time ago, Jimmy.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Wrong time ago. Well, wrong time ago. Wrong, wrong time ago.
SPEAKER_05Four skin and uh forescore. Many foreskin and seven inches ago. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01You you'll butt it's all like butt like bubblegum at the end.
SPEAKER_05But you asked the question.
SPEAKER_01Which one?
SPEAKER_05What's what makes a custom a custom?
SPEAKER_01What makes a custom a custom?
SPEAKER_05Custom with a K. What's the deal? And we kind of explained it. It's like a gentleman's kind of lowrider.
SPEAKER_01It's very over-the-top body mods and that's and that's always where where custom has always been, is because I always always like hit the brakes at the low riders. That's what it reminds me of. It reminds me of somebody that fucking loved lowriders and decided to grow up. I mean in honesty, sorta.
SPEAKER_05In honesty, you could have almost called my 55 a custom, but it wasn't. It was on air ride. You know what I mean? It had a little bit more modern wheel for a while. It had the Gregor eliminators on it. Um it kind of wasn't, but it kind of was, right? It was a it was a merge, uh melting of designs to make one. But like most real customs are static. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01They're not they're not I mean before we before we changed up the the uh uh the suspension, that probably because you're tail dragging and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05I didn't realize how few people understand these different terms for genres of vehicle, right? So a lot of this also goes back to this car show thing we're talking about. Right.
SPEAKER_01Because it just hit me with ton uh with a ton of bricks. You have spectators come in, they see this whole fucking class, yeah, and it's all fucking wrong. So their their brains are automatically go, oh, this thing's under construction. You know, this thing's new.
SPEAKER_05When you put uh you know, the post that I made of the custom shows your customs. There's a lot of things in there that were customized. Yes.
SPEAKER_01But they're not customs, yeah. No, it's custom as with the C. I I hate I hate saying it like that, always saying it like that.
SPEAKER_05But it but yeah. Um your car is customized and very cool. Yeah, but it is not a custom. Yeah. It's a genre. It is custom, not exactly. It's like the radio stations fucking up and putting Nirvana on classic rock. Don't get me fucking started to do it because it's old doesn't make it classic rock. No, it doesn't. It's a genre. Um, and then you've got say, I did another post about uh shows your traditional hot rods. Yeah. There's a lot of 70 style tea buckets in there. That's not a traditional hot rod. It's just it's not. No. You know, um, but it's weird when you start finding out what people think something is, but it's not so it's just a lack of education. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Um street rod. Street rod is you know, leather and or tweed type interior. Right, right. Street rod is graphics, right? Street rod is power windows and air conditioning in an old coop or roadster. Street rod is what Tyson is showing me right now. Yeah. What'd they put that under? Traditional? Custom? Yep. There's no such thing as a custom car with running boards and fenders.
SPEAKER_03No.
SPEAKER_05Um but custom. There's a custom. A shop shoebox. Yep. Um but it I'm not dogging nobody. No. I'm not. I promise I'm not. And thank you for commenting and thank you for but but we've we've got a street rod. Street rod. But we gotta do some we gotta do some edu macaiting. Yeah. Because it's customized does not make it a custom. No. Um custom, but yeah. Yeah, that's weird.
SPEAKER_01Not custom. Oh. That's that's that's like when Brian was gonna gas her a 64.5 fucking Mustang. That would have been cool. There's no, I know, I know, but that that that I was not gonna drop it. But I'm looking at it going, hmm.
SPEAKER_05And it's on a four by four frame, I think.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Uh anyway.
SPEAKER_05Um it it's different. It is. It's different. Like people don't get it. Uh and that's okay. It is. Not everybody's a 401k is not the same thing as growing up as a car guy. No. And sometimes we have to remember that. You know what I mean? Um there's differences. Hot rod fucks people up bad. If you tell somebody I'll let's see your hot rod, it fucks with them hard. Yeah. Because uh it's different.
SPEAKER_01Because they hear the quote unquote my car's a hot rod. Yeah. No. It's it it it's it's hot rodded. You think it's a hot rod, that doesn't make it a hot rod. Yeah, it's just different.
SPEAKER_05Um it's kind of the same thing as sport truck, and there's a difference. Yep. You know what I'm saying? Between mini trucks and sport trucks, and yeah, there's a difference.
SPEAKER_01Fucking 100%. You know, uh rat rod. Well, it's that that I'm sorry, but the idea of what an actual rat rod has formed into is not a rat rod to me.
SPEAKER_05To you, a rat rod's more what a everybody else would call a traditional hot rod.
SPEAKER_01Like in my eyes, primer, like okay, bones. Yeah, like for example, the the shop truck was more rat rod than I see anywhere. Right. You know what I mean? Like it's not that that is what rat rods become. Yeah. I'm okay with the rusted patina and all that stuff. It's the it's the extra bullshit welded to it. Wrenches for gas pedals. Like, and I get it that that's that's a cool idea, but now everybody's fucking doing it.
SPEAKER_05Timing change sets for steering gears.
SPEAKER_01Uh which which was which is pretty cool idea. Cool. The idea of it. But how many people are doing it now? Probably a bunch. A bottle opener welded to the side of the cab. That why? Like just because I mean, tell me you're an alcoholic without telling me you're an alcoholic. What, Tyson? No. What?
SPEAKER_05No, I'm just thinking of um fucking moonshine steels for gas tanks. Yeah. Copper lines coiled around like a moonshine steel. Yes.
SPEAKER_00I don't want to piss a bunch of people off, but I was thinking about starboard.
SPEAKER_05Which part?
SPEAKER_00That whole section.
SPEAKER_05Oh. I like I like that. What'd they call it?
SPEAKER_00I don't know.
SPEAKER_01I don't remember. What the the the rat rod section? Yeah. I mean, don't get me wrong. There's a lot of things. To me, like my vision of doing a rat rod.
SPEAKER_05Rat rod was for it was originally for people that didn't have any money.
SPEAKER_01And that's it, that's where my brain was gonna go. Now people spending tens of thousands of dollars to build a rat rod. 100%. It's supposed to be bare fucking bones. And and and you literally, like, oh, that's a Chevy motor. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it is a Chevy motor. Oh, what's what'd that radiator come out of? Exactly. That's what a rat rod is to me. Right. You go to a fucking junkyard and be like, I can make this motherfucker work. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05When rat rod started, everything was flat black with red wheels. Yeah. It wasn't even patinaed. No. Then some dude decided not to paint one. Yeah. And it became the cool thing to do. Yeah. I wish I'd have been that guy.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Um, good lord, my phone. And see, and that's another thing too. It's like, and I'm I'm I'm guilty of it uh trying to make something look like it rested and been sitting out in a field. But I think it's rad as fuck when they go, you know, somebody actually goes and gets a fucking fucked up cab and fucking makes something out of it. That that that's cool.
SPEAKER_05But yeah, that can be cool. Oh, standby. This is the obligatory uh picture when somebody keeps texting me. We recording. Stop texting me. Yeah. Uh but yeah, it's a rat rod's a big misconception.
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_05Rat rod was not designed to be a$50,000 car class.
SPEAKER_01No. And that's what gets me. It's like, okay, and don't get me wrong, I think it's cool as fuck when they've got the diesel in it and all that shit. I think it's cool. But you're you're dropping a fucking shit ton of goddamn money.
SPEAKER_05Pretty sure I just got a text about my picture. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_01But you know, it's like uh, you know, they pay the shit ton of money to fucking put that bitch in there, and it's like it's not a budget anymore. No. Like you can't you can't fucking make all that fucking because they don't just fucking dump a fucking shitty ass fucking diesel in it, you know. Oh, I gotta build it and I gotta do this and yeah. Yep. Like, so you you go 10 grand into your fucking motor, it's not a fucking rat rod anymore.
SPEAKER_00It should be 10 grand for the whole car.
SPEAKER_01Yes, sir. Yeah. If that, yeah. That's how I'd look at it.
SPEAKER_00I'm on the same boat as you, but that one truck had the two-stroke Detroit in it at Starbird that shot like 15 foot flames. Yep. That was a cool truck. But it was that what we're talking about.
SPEAKER_05So okay, then take Starbird. Um the whole Hoonigan thing. Did you like it?
SPEAKER_00I didn't. I liked everything but the motorcycles.
SPEAKER_05I didn't like any of it. I don't I'm at a car event to talk to car people.
SPEAKER_00That's true.
SPEAKER_05And when that thing's going on, you ain't talking to nobody.
SPEAKER_01That's true. Yeah. Are you talking about the middle thing?
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Uh I mean it's part of their spectacle. I I leave every time.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_05I I can't. I just it bores the fuck out of me.
SPEAKER_00We would just go sit outside.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I just I hate it. I if it wasn't so enclosed. It is literally my least favorite part of Starboard. The first of well, the first year I was I was okay with seeing some of it, but I'm sure it got old the second time. And the third time. And the fourth. And the fourth time. You know, I mean, yeah. Same, same shit. Um I mean, it's a good, I think. I mean, don't get me wrong.
SPEAKER_05I mean it's part of the draw. It was what I was gonna say. It brings a crowd. Yep. It was more of a spectacle this this past year, but yeah, let's not do demolition derby inside anymore.
SPEAKER_00No. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Uh I'm not saying you'll get rid of it like I got any fucking say so. That's not what I'm saying. Just for me, yeah. I'm done with the by the time I every single time I they do it, I go somewhere else. Yeah. I don't listen to the shit.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00See, I was the same way. I liked it the first day. Yeah, no, it was cool.
SPEAKER_05I was yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00I was looking for Brian because I knew he was going out the door.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. And the fucking Harleys? Mm-mm. Yeah, you never seen that deal. Mm-hmm. How long can you uh bounce a V twin off the chip? Mm-mm. Waving your arms, getting the crowd louder.
SPEAKER_01Ugh. Ugh. Yeah, well, I'm I'm out.
SPEAKER_05Ugh. I'm out. Um never thought anything could be more annoying than junior dragsters. I was wrong. Yeah, I'm sure. Because mini bikes, just as annoying. Yeah, they are. Yeah. And there was 14,000 of them. No. Just fuck. Wow. And and the chop top was right next to the arena. Yeah. It was too fucking close.
SPEAKER_01Same same spot as it always is.
SPEAKER_05No. Mm-mm. Right next to the stance. Oh. Uh-huh. Next to the ramp going up? Yeah. In between the ramp and the stance.
SPEAKER_01Why didn't they put them near the door so that they could have circulation? God. So fucking loud. Sure.
SPEAKER_05All day. And I love I love Starbird.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05Um I would like for us to be able to do something at Starbird next year. That'd be cool. You know what I mean? At least set up the booth or something. But I'd like to I'd like to have some tea buckets to take. That'd be cool. To show off. Yeah. That'd be cool shit.
SPEAKER_00Um I wonder if we could do like a part two to the 39.
SPEAKER_05Well, we talked about doing a fucking build. Like have all the parts laid out and build a car over the course of Starbucks. Like a three-day build.
SPEAKER_03Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_05That'd be sweet.
SPEAKER_00That would be cool.
SPEAKER_05That would be pretty fucking sweet. Would we do a tea bucket? I would you'd almost have to.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Or a mile aim.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, you almost have to do something extremely easy to build. Yeah. You know what I mean? And you'd have to know that everything fucking goes together. Yeah. So to my in my opinion, yeah, let's fucking take everything with us, take tools, take everything, and build one of our fucking Rodden Style T buckets at Starbird. Yeah. That would be cool.
SPEAKER_00And then possibly sell it at the show.
SPEAKER_05Word. Um Mike and I talked about doing a rap. Like a three-day rap at Starbird. Yeah. Raffle it off. Oh, yeah. Like starting soon. Yeah. All the way up to the date or whatever, the you know, the month before, so that that whoever won had time to get their car there. Right. And the winner gets their car wrapped at Starbird. You know, but you had to put some criteria on it. It had to be an old car. Right. You know? It had to be something that would fit in at Starbird. Yeah. Which honestly, there was a lot of muscle cars this time. Yeah. A lot. There was a whole almost a whole fuck. A big portion of upstairs was muscle cars. Yep.

SPEAKER_05Um but there was a lot of muscle cars. A lot. There were very few customs. Wow. Yeah. Ten, fifteen of them. Wow. Maybe. Really? Yeah. Yeah. But even like West Coast Customs has kind of become more of a lowrider show. It's more lowrider than it is custom now. Yeah. There's a lot of.
SPEAKER_00I think that's because it's become more popular out there.
SPEAKER_01Probably. Probably. And and and as fucked up as it sounds, I hate to say it, but lowriders are they got a more of a cult culture than most fucking hunters gen genres. Yep. Like and you live in it. You know, like you like you fucking build a lolo, you're you're fucking in it. Yeah. You know? Yeah. And customs are the same way when you find those people. Yeah, yeah. No, I know. When you find those people, just gotta find that nook. You just gotta find those people. But that's a that's a big ass show to not have a lot of people. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05You know what I mean? Yeah. Um, I'm not saying it was disappointing, but there were a lot of people walking around saying it was disappointing.

SPEAKER_05Yeah. That's forty-five minutes. That's 90 that's three hours of hood time. I was gonna say that's three hours. That's three hours of billable time. Yep. That's four hundred and fifty dollars. Yep. That we didn't get to bill out because we were looking for a hood prop. Because it didn't get put back where it was supposed to be. We still haven't found it. We still don't know where my hood prop went. I guess I'll be buying another one tomorrow.
SPEAKER_03Well shit.
SPEAKER_05We'll find it. Yeah. After I buy another one, we'll find it.
SPEAKER_00No, we'll find it.
SPEAKER_05Fucking hood prop, huh? I bet it went home in a car. Yeah, it probably did. I bet it went home in a car.
SPEAKER_00I feel like the Falcon was the last one we used it on.
SPEAKER_05That's what I said. It's coming here tomorrow. Well, if it was, we didn't get parts. So I don't know. Anyway.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Both. Oh, wait, the Red Camaro's home.
SPEAKER_05They both left the same day.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, but he's just down the road.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Yeah, that's not the point, Tyson.
SPEAKER_00I'm just saying, if you want to find it that bad.
SPEAKER_05If you want to find it that bad. Uh it's not that far away, Brian. It's just down the street. Hey.
SPEAKER_00If it made it all the way to his house.
SPEAKER_05Here's the other thing. Uh yesterday when they were raising the coilovers up on the mercury. Now, mind you, I've put a lot of miles in this car.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_05Because Joe told me to.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_05Drive it like it's your car. Okay, cool.
SPEAKER_01Right. Broke the window.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, broke a window. Drive it like a car. Like the keys in it.
SPEAKER_04Drive it like you still.
SPEAKER_00Okay, break a window. Yeah. So I saw the key sitting in the seat and I busted the window out and sold the keys.
SPEAKER_05I mean, I've been to Brownsboro, so that's like a 160-mile round trip. Yeah. 130 probably. I've been to Frisco. I've been all the fuck over Rockwell and Hunt County. I mean, I've been the Cattle Mills. I've been everywhere in this fucking car. Greenville. Well, they got the wheels off of it yesterday, raising the coilovers. Guess what? Chad found. What? A magnetic flashlight stuck in the inner fender. Nice. Hell yeah. That bitch had rode everywhere. It was all covered in mud. Damn. I mean, it's been through the rain. I mean it works. And it never fell off and it still works. Hell yeah. Yeah. Shout out to Milwaukee. No shit. The fucking lights are badass. They really are tough and durable. No kidding. I don't know how the fuck a tire didn't hit it. And it would have scared the absolute dog shit out of me if it would have fallen off. Oh, yeah. I thought I ran over a fucking cat. Yeah. Or a kid. Yeah. I mean, it would have sounded horrible. Yeah. A kid too. It rode in that fender this whole fucking time. You know how many fucking flashlights probably get left in cars all across the Metroplex?
SPEAKER_01Bro. I have I have three magnetic lights. Yeah. And I only have one currently because I don't know where the fuck I stuck the other two. Yeah. Yep. They're under a track. Every once in a while, someone would come up and goes, It's yours. Like, yeah, that's mine. The best one is my fucking mallet. Yeah. Okay. Because I've welded the head came off of it. So I welded a jack handle and then uh a hollow piece of pipe on the end. So it has no vibration, but I leave that son of a bitch laying everywhere. All of a sudden I'll come up and be like, Is this your piece of shit? I'm like, that piece of shit right there's made it years. And they're like, huh. And one guy he comes walking up, he's like, hey, we're not gonna worry about this anymore. Like, what do you mean? He goes, Well, here's your hammer. I'm like, there it is. He goes, How long ago did you lose it? I go about a month ago. And he starts laughing. He goes, Well, if you flip over the head, he wrote my name in cursive, so it'll come right back to me. I'm like, thanks, bud. Etched in it and everything. Hell yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05I I have a new rule. What's that? I didn't do it this weekend. But I I've told them that uh I was like, if I come up here to work on my own shit, if I can't find one of my tools that I need, I'm calling everybody. I'm texting everybody. Everybody. Everybody get your ass up here. There was two screwdrivers missing. Yeah. I'm pretty sure everybody has a yellow chisel somewhere that doesn't belong to them. Look at Tyson.
SPEAKER_00Look at him. I haven't done anything. I've been on the Jeep.
SPEAKER_05For a day.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. For a day, Tyson. No, yesterday.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. I had had a little bit of an asshole moment yesterday morning. Did you? I did. All right. I qualified it though by I'm not trying to be a dick, but Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay, cool. So I felt myself, I felt my ears getting hot because we were looking for something.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_05And I I think I was looking for Teflon tape at the moment. And I felt my ears getting hot. So I knew I was starting to get fucking mad because I kept seeing shit that was mine that was not where it was supposed to be. Right, right. And then I'm looking through the top of my box. That's like looking in my daughter's closet. Okay. And poor Tyson. He's trying to be helpful. Yeah. He goes, hey, do you want me to clean that out for you? I said, look, man, I'm not trying to be a dick. But I've asked for it to be cleaned out like 50 fucking times. I said, so instead of worrying about what time we're going home, yeah, that'd be cool if y'all wouldn't mind cleaning this out. I walked off. Later, I was like, damn, I was a dick. I said I wasn't trying to be a dick. It looks a lot better. It does look great.
SPEAKER_01I'm just saying where you guys went wrong is the proper response when he said, I'm not trying to be a dick, is you go, okay, and just walk off. Yeah. All right, I'll clean it.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01Can you imagine that? You're like, I'm not trying to be a dick. You flip around and fucking everybody's walking off. You're like, where are you going? Said you weren't trying to be a dick. I'm out.
SPEAKER_05We know what that meant. Yeah. We we know what that meant. But then, you know, like I gave a math lesson and I explained it when four people are looking for 45 minutes. Yeah. That's a lot of motherfucking money. It is. Wait until they look for the screwdrivers and the chisel. I'm still missing two. Are you? I am. Unless they got put in there today. Which I doubt because I didn't go out there and throw a fit today because I figured why. I let that one from yesterday ride for a little while. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Because today he wasn't trying to be a dick.
SPEAKER_05Then today I put Ethan in charge of bagging cars. Oh yeah. I bought a hundred and I bought 30 bags for$125. Yeah. So I told Ethan, you're in charge of this now. So anytime there's a car under a car, the bottom car better have a bag on it. Yeah. Okay. Okay. And they're all bagged. They are. Yep. They are. Um the only one that's not has a car above it that doesn't have anything that holds liquid in it. So it's what's it going to drop on it, dirt? Yeah. I took care of that. Yeah. Hey. We gotta rearrange our our uh pain body section. Yeah. We we had we didn't think about it. He didn't do nothing wrong. But the way we have our long-term base set up over there, yeah, we need to reverse that deal so that the dust blows out the doors.
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_05And not through the shop. Through the air conditioner. Oh because it gets up in the air and it just goes everywhere.
SPEAKER_01Everywhere.
SPEAKER_00It's awesome. The Mercury was two bays over.
SPEAKER_05And and covered.
SPEAKER_00Three bays over. Yeah. Covered in.
SPEAKER_05Looked like aftermath in Iran. Oh hell yeah.
SPEAKER_01All glassy and everything.
SPEAKER_04It's like a blood stain. That's weird. That's weird.
SPEAKER_05How do you get that out of a fucking sander?
SPEAKER_04You can't.
unknownMm-mm. Mm-mm.
SPEAKER_05No. But yeah, it's been a, you know, it is what it is. Um business is good.
SPEAKER_00Things are still getting better in the shop.
SPEAKER_05They really are. Yeah. I'm sitting here making jokes and bitching and like I feel like I'm just pissing everybody off this episode. What? Okay, so we name it it was supposed to rain, or do we not name it I'm not trying to be a dick, but uh yeah, I think the second one.
SPEAKER_01You put I'm not trying to be a dick, but and then go dot dot dot. It was supposed to rain. The hangouts club shut down.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I think we're gonna stick to it was supposed to rain. Um what else? Is there anything else? I'm I I need an office manager.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00Are we doing shop talk this episode or no? What?
SPEAKER_05Did we not do anything? No. Uh other than y'all can't put my shit up. Yeah. Okay. Enough said.
SPEAKER_00See y'all next time.
SPEAKER_05It ain't and what's funny is me and him are sitting here fucking with each other about it. He knows it's him.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah, I do.
SPEAKER_01It's okay. I wouldn't clean around my toolboxes and all that because we got uh an insurance inspection coming through and all that. I'm cleaning it up and I'm like, oh, hmm. Oh, hmm. And Kool Aid's like, what do you owe hmm? I go, Oh, I didn't know where this tool was. He's like, Are you kidding me?
SPEAKER_00So when I was coaching I don't only do it with his tools though, I do it with mine too.
SPEAKER_05So when I was coaching T-ball and coach pitch, yeah. If a kid wouldn't do what they're supposed to do, in practice, I'd have their mom come out and stand with them in the field. Bro. I did. Hell yeah. I was like, Mom, need you out here. Now you are playing shortstop with little Timmy.
SPEAKER_02Hmm.
SPEAKER_05Until little Timmy can pay attention to what he's doing. Calling Tyson's mom. I think I'm gonna have Tyson's mom just start coming up here and cleaning up tools.
SPEAKER_00I don't think she's gonna work on cars.
SPEAKER_05Just clean tools. Okay. I just need her to pick shit up. Yeah. Could you pick up after your son? How great do you think? I know you've done it for the last however many years. Twenty-six years? Oh, I didn't mean now. Or does she still oh okay?
SPEAKER_01Um all of a sudden she shows up and does such a good job. You're like, so how are you at the office? Hey.
SPEAKER_05She's up here three days a week. Don't think I haven't thought about asking her. I mean I mean, wouldn't three days a week help? Fuck yeah, it would help. Just saying. Yeah. But I feel like we'd probably choke each other out. Maybe. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I think that or she can do it.
SPEAKER_05I think I will have met my match.
SPEAKER_00Like whatever you need, like social media-wise, yeah. And stuff like that. She could probably do that from my house because she's got Delaney.
SPEAKER_05The problem with social media, me and Jimmy have had one. Me and Jimmy have had this problem before. The problem with social media is it needs to sound like it's coming from us. Right. It needs to sound like it's coming from Hometown Hot Roderics. And it's hard.
SPEAKER_01It's hard. I mean, even Brooks tried to m do a Brian post. I'm like, that totally wasn't Brian. Yep. Right.
SPEAKER_05Like it's tough.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_05Um, that's the only problem with the social media. Like, I think I need somebody that can do everything else. Right. Or even go capture the content. Right. Just don't post it. Right. Let me post it. Right. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I don't know. We gotta figure it out. Right. Or I gotta learn how to let go and let somebody else post and know that it's not gonna always sound like me. Right. Does it really matter at the end of the day if it sounds like me?
SPEAKER_01Well, if you and if you do it long enough that person, that that entity becomes that right. I mean they could then all of a sudden it sounds fucked up if we post. Yeah. Yeah, fuck all that.
SPEAKER_00If you could do it, it's where like I know it's gonna it's a little more of a pain in the ass, but you could have somebody write something up, send it to you, be like, hey.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Or if I could just be like, hey, let me introduce you to my chat GPT. Yeah. Because my chat GPT knows me. Right. Like it tells me things like this is gonna look killer, and it says Ghana and look killer.

SPEAKER_05Car culture does need to be saved. Stop talking shit about each other. All you old men, stop talking shit about the young men because eventually y'all are going to die and then there'll be no more car guys because y'all ran them out of the hobby.
SPEAKER_01Well, and the whole the whole thing, the whole thing is a lot of things that we hate and all that stuff, okay? So you look at it like this. So if we keep steering the kids away from this, the only fun that they're gonna think they can have is fucking takeovers. And that's the last thing we need to do for these kids. Dude, I've thought about this really long and hard.
SPEAKER_05I really have. I don't think there is a genre of the car hobby that I hate.
SPEAKER_02What do you mean?
SPEAKER_05Just well, just because like okay, it's always coming up, it's a hot topic all the time, and there's a lot of promoters that ban them from coming. The squatted trucks. I don't hate them.
SPEAKER_01Just not my thing. That makes sense. Right. No, no, 100%. There's a lot of things. I mean, you you stop and you think about this. I can respect jacked up trucks. I hate them. Yeah. I'm not a I'm not a lifted truck guy. Yeah. But I still respect them.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. You know. And you I love them whenever I need it. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Uh, but like imports. I'm not a big import guy, but I like them. Yeah. They're cool. They're cool.
SPEAKER_03I like everything.
SPEAKER_05I don't want to own one. Uh I don't want to own a diesel because I don't ever want to have to work on the motherfucker. Right. Um, but I get it. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Uh I'm just laughing at y'all when gas is when fuel's six dollars a gallon. Clayton. Ethan. Yeah, Ethan. Yeah. Uh I like Ford guys, huh? Yeah, yeah. And brand loyalty, I don't hate on any brand. Less. Um I I only hate well, I'm not an LS fan. No. I know.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Are you calling me a Ford guy? We talked this for years. Yeah, I'm not a Ford guy. I just like Fords. Yeah. But but I like Chevrolets too. No, I know. And I love Mopars. Yeah. And Volkswagens. Like I I don't think there's a genre of the car scene that I that I hate. Um what I hate is the shit talking from generation to generation.
SPEAKER_01This is me.
SPEAKER_05What I hate is bashing other people's cars and and and discouraging them from coming and hanging out. Yep. You know what I mean? What I hate is when you can't understand why people are looking at a car that's different instead of the car like of yours that 18 of your buddies on. Yeah. Right? That gets me. You know what I mean? Yeah. Um I don't there's not a genre that I hate. I am not, look, I'll just tell everybody I am not a fan of the modern rat rod.
SPEAKER_01No.
SPEAKER_05I think they're corny. Uh it's just not my thing. Yep. They're goofy. But I'm also not a fan of street rods. Like I there's a lot of them out there that are super, super nice. Yeah. Yeah. Nice fucking cars. Yeah. Just not my thing. You know what I mean? Uh I'll try to un-street rod any street rod that I get. Yeah. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. Um but I respect the fuck out of them. Right. And they're cool to drive. Comfortable to drive. Comfortable to drive. Um so I don't yeah, I don't think there's any of them that I hate. I really don't. I can't think of a genre that I hate. Um I think some of y'all need some originality. Quit trying to out chrome each other. Yeah. Color match it. Oh yeah. Well, I got chrome. All my accessories are chrome. All of them. All of them. All of them. My car's chrome. Yeah. I'm gonna chrome my whole car. What are you gonna do then to chrome my tires? Chrome walls. Yeah. What? I think you started something. I mean, there's a um fuck what's that called? Cosmochrome? Machine for sale in the marketplace right now for 4,500 bucks. We could make a lot of money with that. We could chrome everything. I know a 36 Ford that the guy wants to chrome the grill and it's not cheap. You could absolutely Cosmochrome it. Yep. And it would look just as good. Yeah. So, yeah, I mean, keep building what you want to build.
SPEAKER_00That's it. Build your shit. Drive your shit. Come to shows. Anybody talk shit? Welcome.
SPEAKER_01Well, hell, hell, you know what I came across in pictures? Uh huh when we were at that uh, what was it, uh Cars and Comets. Uh-huh. Remember when we rolled up on that fucking kid with the civic hatch that had the had the V6 hanging out of the front of it?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I came across that picture. I'm like, man, I remember that because that kid wasn't talking to nobody. He was just standing over by his car. Yeah. And me and Brian walk up and start talking to him, and he was just jazzed, like, you're talking to me, dude. He had a big old 3.5 leader, the J series or whatever, sticking straight out the hood, cut out and everything. It's like, yeah, bro. It was retarded fast. Yeah, it was stupid. But that's the thing.
SPEAKER_05We had the whole fucking traffic jam. Yes. We blocked it all. It was a crew cab fucking slammed long bed square body dually going up a parking garage to park on the upper level. Yes. It took like a four-point turn on every level of the parking garage. Yes. Motherfuckers were packed up to the road waiting on us to get through there. That was it was a it was a day. It was fucking awesome. I loved it.
SPEAKER_01And then we we left before everybody did. So that we could get out. Yeah. Yeah. It was cool. And the torchies it is.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. That just left a bad taste in my fucking mouth. He said, mmm. Then Jimmy's car got totaled one night of Torchies. Yeah. By a drunk driver. By a drunk driver. But it's okay. I KO'd that motherfucker with a power age bottle. Shit was great. Hey, I led him and everything. Like while he was fucking drunk and running into cars in the parking lot and fucking led him with a like a corner.
SPEAKER_01Listen, listen, listen, listen, okay? This guy knocked him out. This dude drives out of the fucking parking lot through the fucking through the fucking driveway. Okay. Somehow blows a tire, 180s, floors it, goes through the fucking grass, through the bushes, and fucking dukes at hazards right into my car. That's by its fucking self. No, it shoved it into three more cars. Oh, yeah, that's right. I forgot. I forgot. But my I mean, there was plenty of space you could have fucking hit anybody else. And then he had backed up.
SPEAKER_05Yes. And took off again. And was gonna hit more cars. So he only got to hit one more car because I KO'd his ass with a fucking power grade bottle and knocked him out.
SPEAKER_01And I really not I'm not making that up, man. No, and I realized how how inebriated the guy was, okay, right before the before he was night night. Okay. But before that, he literally looks at me and fucking Brian. He goes, hold on, let me park. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05He literally was so fucked up he could not figure out where to park. And then by that time he had woke up and came out of the truck, and then the cops were showing up. And I had decided I was fixing to walk over and beat this dude's ass. And the cop was trying to tell me to stop. Nope, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. And I kept walking, I was gonna hit this dude. And all of a sudden I heard those words. I will fucking tase you. I said, I just stopped, put my hands up. I was like, no, please don't do that. Yeah, I'm good. I knocked him out once.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. And he was like, Don't worry, I would want to beat his ass too, but you can't do it while we're here. Bro, I think it's a good thing I hit him in the head with a fucking power aid bottle before you got here. He goes, probably didn't need to tell me that either. No.
SPEAKER_01No, I remember they're sitting there, they're like, So you're gonna tell your car? I'm like, I ain't got the fucking money for it. And all that. They're like, so what are you gonna do? I crawled into the fucking passenger side. Okay, my whole fucking door was creamed and like sealed shut. It was banana. Okay. I fucking got in it and Brian's like, You sure you're okay? I'm like, eh, we'll see. He made it about two or three blocks away from my house. I'm like, nah, I'm good, man. And all that. But dude, you could stick your hand through my door and all kinds of shit. It was fucked, it totaled it.
SPEAKER_05I probably was square F-150.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. It hit all these cars.
SPEAKER_05Jesus.
SPEAKER_01And and and the fuck part is is the fucking side airbag, none of the airbags went off. No. None of them. But what totaled my car essentially was the only airbags that went off were my headrests, and those are like$4,800 apiece for this car. And I'm like, yeah, and they're like, and here, and I'm like, yeah, it's bent here.
SPEAKER_05So the shitty thing was is Clayton was like eight, nine. And I'd I'd just been teaching him how to drive a standard, and I had my little hard body out there that night. Clayton had just moved my truck that was parked next to Jimmy's.
SPEAKER_01That would have got cream.
SPEAKER_05That would have that's what would have gotten hit. And Clayton had just moved it into the next row of parking spots to show everybody that he knew how to drive a standard.
SPEAKER_00That's funny.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, like literally that dude would have plowed the fucking hard body. Yeah. And I had just spent a lot of money on it. Suspension and shit. I'd have been upset. Fuck, I just bought those fraud wheels for the car. Yeah. Then they were fucked us. Fucked us. Damn it. So anyway, we love y'all. Yeah. Um, if you got offended, you can't take a joke. Go fuck yourself. Yeah, sorry. We'll still I mean, sorry. Don't rave each other. Or do. Bye bye. Fuck it.
