SPEAKER_01

I know. I know. Right across the lake. Yep. I used to go to DBU and watch the um like all the F-14s and the F-4s and shit leave and land at Dallas Naval Air Station back when it was Dallas Naval Air Station. Now it's just a chunk of concrete.

SPEAKER_04

Well they're talking about planes flying in and out of there again.

SPEAKER_01

Really?

SPEAKER_04

I don't know when.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it was cool, man. You could sit on the other side of the lake around DBU and just watch them go right over the top of you. And then if you went over on a Jefferson over by Yellowbelly, you could sit literally in line with the flat path at the railroad tracks and just watch planes come land over the top of you and ship them.

SPEAKER_02

That's like that's like 408 in Keist like area, right? Yeah, it's Jeffy. You can see it from there, right? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yep. Yeah, because I remember sitting there, I'd be I'd be going I was a mobile tech for a while. Yeah. I'd be driving, be like, what the fuck was that? Yeah. Something fly over me.

SPEAKER_04

Well, they still do flyovers at the cemetery.

SPEAKER_01

Is that what it is? That's fucking crazy. Yeah, we used to watch them all the time. Every Saturday, me and my uncle would go sit and just watch airplanes all day. You can go to Fort Worth and do it. Like I'll see them tomorrow when I go to Fort Worth. Yeah. For uh Chuck's hangout deal. Oh, yeah. At Sickies. Where tomorrow? Yeah, Sicky's burger joint or something. I don't know. I've got the flyer probably saved, I'm sure. Damn, I should have gone to that instead. No shit. It probably won't get rained out. No, it'd be 85 degrees. Yeah, it'd be nice and warm and 90% humid. Truckle overheat on the way there. No. Nah. It'd be fun. Man. So we haven't recorded since I got it. We talked about it last time. No, I mean, yeah. I saw it for the first time today. Now I got Dewey the Dooley. Hell yeah. That thing is fucking sweet ass ride. Man. Brad. Bro. It's so cool that I don't even really want to do much to it.

SPEAKER_04

No. What does it need?

SPEAKER_01

Uh little bullshit. I kind of. And there's a camper over here behind Wyatt's building that I can have. Oh shit. If I want it, I can have it. It's got it's got one or two busted spots in it. Fiberglass, but it's got the double step up at the back of it. Oh it'd be fucking killer. And I almost wonder if it wouldn't get better gas mileage.

SPEAKER_04

Maybe. Probably would. Just take tailgate. Lay it down. You're good.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Get the bigger scoop. I mean, all I gotta do is go buy five or six clamps. You know what I'm talking about? All I gotta do is go buy five or six fucking C clamps. We can put that camper on the truck. Yeah. I don't need to bolt it. No. Let's go buy some C clamps.

SPEAKER_04

We can probably find some in the shop. I doubt it.

SPEAKER_01

I doubt it. You can't find hose clamps in this motherfucker right now.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

I got at least two or three Vice Grips in the excursions.

SPEAKER_01

I got a bunch of Vice Grips. I just bought eleven fucking pairs from the Mac truck. Yeah. Ouch. Hey, I am proud to say though, my MACO Bill is paid off. Nice. Yeah. The scanner's paid for. Oh yeah. So I don't owe her nothing. Yeah. But just the other one. Yeah, but Derek's a different story. Wait. I I still owe Derek some money. Yeah. I still owe him. The Mac truck.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, we have a Derek Snap-on. Oh yeah, no. I owe him a little.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I don't want to say too much. So Snap-on came in here one time. That's pretty much the end of the story.

SPEAKER_04

Well, there have been some that are arrogant fools.

SPEAKER_01

He came in and he stood in the middle of the shop and everybody kind of just walked around him and kept working.

SPEAKER_02

Dude, didn't that happen to us back in the day? He ain't never been back. Who was it that came in? Was it Snap on? Maybe. That came to the old shop. Maybe. And like he did the same thing. Like he came in and Matco. It was the it was that Matco guy.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, it was? Yeah, it was Matco over on that side. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Jennifer Vega, our Matco girl, she's badass. Oh yeah. She's she's really good. Yeah. Um I haven't met her. Her husband has the another route. Like they that's what they both do. They both have Matco trucks. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Her father-in-law owns uh it's Mark Mark Cross, the guy with the blue cutlass. Right. That's what I want to do. I say the blue cutlass. We've worked on three blue and white cutlasses. Yep, sell tools.

SPEAKER_02

That would I would love that. I think it'd be rad. I'd love that. Just drive everywhere. Chasing down people for the biggest. Yeah, you gotta do that part. Yeah, you gotta do that part, but like like literally, like, eh, I just ate dinner. You know what? Hey, I'll be right back. Yeah. And go run my like little routes at like 3 a.m. Yeah. You know what I mean? For like the third shift guys.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. You know, and fucking, yeah, I'd I'd fucking but it's like 50 or 60 grand to even get started in that. Yeah, it it's it's expensive. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_02

And and your credits gotta be outrageous too. Yeah. I th I thought about it before opening this.

SPEAKER_04

I thought that I I've already tried to pursue it, and they're like, I've been asked three or four times different snap-on dealers, and I'm like, no, I'm good.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I don't know. It'd be kind of cool to be on the other end of the dick for a little while. Just saying. Uh, but no, the dooley's a bad bitch. Oh, yeah. I'm I'm as happy as I was when I had the blue one. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like ever since the blue one had to go because I couldn't afford to keep it. I need I needed the money. Right. Ever since that truck left, I've been depressed about it, and I've bought fifty-five different trucks thinking I was gonna replace that truck, and it never did. Do we does? Yeah. Same exact interior, so I can pretend it's not red till I look at the hood. Like I can pretend I'm in the same truck. Yeah. It's pretty close. No, it's nice. But it's nicer than the blue one was. It was. It is. Yeah. AC frees your fucking balls off. Yeah. Yeah, it's cold, cold. Yeah, yeah. Seats are comfy too. Seats are like sitting in your living room. Yeah. Yeah, it's fucking killer. I love bench seats. Yeah. Yeah. It's killer. It's got pretty cool fucking 3D printed cup holders screwed to the doors. Nice. Um, they don't work worth a fuck for a 20-ounce Coke bottle. No. No. No. No, that bitch will fall on the floor every single time.

SPEAKER_02

So just a spit can.

SPEAKER_01

No, it works alright for like styrofoam cups. Like cigarettes. Okay. There's a spot for my cigarettes. I don't have to throw them on the dash and watch them slide across the passenger side.

SPEAKER_04

I thought that was to hold a phone.

SPEAKER_01

Um, they might be, but not me. My nuts, my nuts hold my phone. Um I need a phone holder. I gotta find my phone holder for uh relaxing. Go on the windshield? Fuck man. Didn't quite steal it. I don't know. He didn't? Little bastard. That's in the termax. That 19 foot tall motherfucker. I'll go buy one. Maybe I um it it it loves gas. No. No. What's funny though is it does have a it does have a an aged um fuel line on the left side that goes from the switchover valve to the sending unit and it permeates a little bit. So out of the left side, it gets like eight, maybe nine miles a gallon. On the right side, that bitch gets ten or eleven miles a gallon. So so so I ran the I ran the left side until it's so what's the average? Exactly. So but both tanks work, the switch over valve works, the switch works. That's amazing. The gauge works on both tanks. Oh yeah. Um like I said, the only thing that don't work is cruise control. And now I know why it doesn't work. I just don't know why it's unhooked. But I got a package of Eclipse sitting right over there on my desk that I just bought today, and we're gonna hook that bitch up tomorrow and see if I can make it work.

SPEAKER_04

Gotta have cruise.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah, I like cruise control. A lot.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You don't realize how much you like it till you don't have it.

SPEAKER_02

Exactly. I've had a lot of cars without it.

SPEAKER_01

Jimmy, over the years, how many square bodies do you think I've owned? No, I'm gonna go with like 35 or 40. A while a lot. A lot. Probably. This is the first one I've ever had that the AC worked on. I've never had one that had air conditioning. No, I've never. Wait. Yes, I did. I had a blue 85 short wide when Trisha and I were married, and it had AC. So I take that back. It's not the first one. This is only my second Port O'Reoley, though.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I I I don't know how many three quarter tons. I was gonna say. I don't know how many tugs you had. I don't know how many long bed half tons. Probably seven or eight shortwides for sure. Yeah. Um two K5 Blazers, uh, two suburbans.

SPEAKER_02

Handful of C uh 60 to 66 C10s. Oh, yeah, I've had a bunch of those trucks. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um I've probably had seven or eight of those. But I'm just talking square bodies.

SPEAKER_02

Just square?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I've only had two OBSs, one half ton and one three quarter ton. Yeah. Um but yeah, just squares? At least 35 or so. Had to be. Probably. Had to be. And that still ain't even close to as many as Kevin Fuller's had. Nah, this year. Kevin's gonna go through 30 of them bitches a month. Yeah. Holy crap. I've seen Kevin buy a square body and before he got home, he had traded it for another square body. Yes.

SPEAKER_02

I've seen it happen. Before you can even put chicken lights on anything.

SPEAKER_01

I've seen it happen. That dude can go through some square bodies. God, he can go through anything. But and a lot of people don't realize this was when we very, very, very first started in 2016, whenever I had the blue truck. Yeah. When we first started our first shop, all we were gonna work on was square bodies. Because I know them trucks literally like the back of my hand. And Kevin knows them even more than that. Yeah, I know how to fix this piece of shit. Yeah. That's what's so funny about Square Bodies, man, is I love them. No, I do too. Absolutely love them. And they're they're one of the best driving trucks that GM's ever made. Right. You steer them with one fucking finger, like they're they're one of the best driving trucks they've ever made, but they're such piles of shit. They really are. I mean, there's a bracket, there's a brace kit that they make for when for when on 4x4s, when the uh frame cracks around the steering gear box. Yeah. There's a there's a repair kit. Yep. They make a brace kit for the hoods on 79 and older. Yeah. Um, or 80 and older, because in 81 it went to the new hinges. Right, right. But yeah, they make a kit so that the hood the hood doesn't fold in half when you try to shut it.

SPEAKER_02

I love that body style though.

SPEAKER_01

The seven-way vacuum switch, I'll even on this one out here, the seven-way vacuum switch is fucked up and it only blows out of the vents, like the dash vents, except for defrost. Defrost does work. Oh, nice. But it won't go to heat, it won't do anything but blow out of the vents. So you got hot ass air when the heater's on. Um the seven-way vacuum switches never fucking work. Speedometer works okay. Hold on. Speedometer works perfectly smooth. There's no jumping it, no bouncing it, no nothing, but it is five miles an hour fast.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

So keeps you from getting a ticket. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Fuck your fire size, maybe?

SPEAKER_01

Maybe it's what it is. That bitch has got a.

SPEAKER_03

Wait, so if you're doing 60.

SPEAKER_01

You're doing 55.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Um that's in 55 and 276 earlier. It's all good. Um TBI 454, bone fucking stock. It's like a smog pump.

SPEAKER_04

Damn.

SPEAKER_01

Damn. The jack and the jack handle are still bolt, they're still strapped to the interfenders.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

The little fucking work light that's got the cord attached to it that you take all over the truck with you. Right. Like you go all the way the back of the truck. Right. And then you wind it up, right? It still works. No. Yeah. Squirters work. Delay wipers work. What the fuck? Shit. Yeah. It's a nice truck. And I've driven it. God damn. I bet I've already put 500 miles on it.

SPEAKER_03

Probably.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I think it came from Hugo, Oklahoma, all the way to Royce City. And then drove it all over fucking Rockwell the first night. Clayton took off in it five minutes after we got it home. He's like, I'm taking the duly. It was gone for an hour. I was like, hey, bring my motherfucking truck back. Fill the tank up on the water. Is that a hot rod pulling up? I mean.

SPEAKER_03

Sounds like a motorcycle.

SPEAKER_01

No, that's a hot rod. No, that's a hot rod. We'll be right back. Just kidding. We didn't go anywhere. I didn't know what the fuck we were talking about. Just about Dewey. Oh, we're back. I'm just very proud of it. Oh yeah. It's nice. It rides good. Dewey. Dewey is a nice truck. It's C-notch. The blue one was not. So the blue and the pumpkin hit the bed every time you hit a bump. This motherfucker don't the front the front shocks are blown out, and the new ones will be here tomorrow. Cool. Um but other than that, so when you hit like dips, sometimes the tire hit the top of the fender, the inner fender. So you get that little sometimes. But like I said, you know the only thing I don't like about the camper will weigh it down enough in the back that the rake will go away. Yeah, maybe. For sure. That bitch is heavy. Is it? Yeah. Huh? You don't like what? You say the only thing I don't like. Sure. No, I like it all.

SPEAKER_02

Never mind. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I want a wood green wheel. Hell yeah. I want a half-rap forever sharp wheel for that car for that truck bad. Yeah. I think it would look really, really good with a wood wheel with that color interior. Yeah. I think it'd look killer. I just saw one on marketplace. I am going to do the all the you're going to shit when I say this because I've never been this guy, but it'll look good on that truck. I'm going to do all the side marker lights and the cab lights and the tail lights and smoke lights. Okay. Smoked LED lights. No, that that'd look good. That'd look good. It'll look real good. And the kids that I found, they're like fucking black until they're on. Yeah. And then they're LED through them. Your lug caps. The lug nuts? Yeah. I thought about doing spikes.

SPEAKER_02

Well, that's the thing is, is that that's where I was going to say. The only thing I don't like about it is the it just it just stops. The lug nuts? Yeah, like they need it needs something. Spikes would be cool. It would. Spikes would be cool. I mean, I know I know a lot of people do them, but it fits it.

SPEAKER_01

I mean there's a reason they do it. Yeah. Um it does have 17s. They're not 195s, so I can buy tires.

SPEAKER_04

Fuck yeah. Just about anywhere. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I was still trying to figure out how we can get some from work. Yeah, I thought it had 195s on it from the photos, but they're 17s. And they're good-looking wheels.

SPEAKER_02

Like them clean.

SPEAKER_01

Dude, you know how many times we take them clean though. Yeah, right? Hell yeah. The blue one had 16-inch alcovas. Yeah. I don't know what those are. I don't know what brand they are. I've never recogni I've never seen that emblem before. Yeah. I was looking at it. But I did see, I didn't take the time to read it, but I did glance down the other day and saw that there is a there is a branded tag on the in the lip of one of the back wheels. Oh, okay. So maybe they are Alcoa'cause Alcoa does that. Alcoa has the tag on them. So maybe they are. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

They look like Alcoa's. What's on the cover? Look like a K. Or an eagle. I don't know what it's like. I don't know what the fuck it is. Does it do some like weird swoop shit? Maybe. I think that is Alcoa's emblem. Maybe. I'll have to go look. Yeah, they're weird looking. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um, but yeah, I think spikes would be cool. Yep. Yeah. But yeah, dude. Um it will stay bone stock under the hood. Yep. I ain't gotta pop the hood for no but fuck everybody. Yeah. You gotta pop a hood, it hurts you, you go deduction. I don't give a fuck.

SPEAKER_02

Do you know how many people pop their hoods at some of the shows that I've judged and they should not have? Yeah. Because I look over and I look and I'm like, damn, look at that frame. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Or somebody goes, oh well, big block Chevy.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Mine's a is that an LS? No, it's a VTN.

So if you've got your hood up and they walk by, they're like, oh. Oh, look at this bag discussion. Oh. Same with Mike. Look at this bag sky. Oh.

I didn't do it in my own shop though. I don't have it. Right. Open resources. Yeah. I can only afford to pay other people to do shit instead of doing it myself. Right. Pay or do favors. Yeah, sure. Oh yeah. Same thing. 2020.

SPEAKER_04

2020.

SPEAKER_01

So uh the bucket actually is now Clayton's car. Okay. We're still going to build it. Same design, same concept, same everything. Okay. But it's Clayton's car.

SPEAKER_02

How in the fuck is he going to get in it?

SPEAKER_01

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

What do you mean get in it? You just got to step over the side of it. Yeah. I was going to drive it.

SPEAKER_02

That's what I mean. Yeah, you mean drive it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like can you front where his feet go and bring the trash can up against it? No, you just let him flip his feet over and put the pedals on the opposite side of the fucking bucket and all that. And then he just straddles the fucking fucking the hand controls.

SPEAKER_01

So it will have an automatic instead of the granny four-speed. Okay. Because there's just not enough room for his big ass and his big ass feet. But still the same motor? Yeah, yeah. Still doing the six cylinder. Is he? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, you're still doing the six cylinder. He was like, I want to do a turbo three fifty, but I don't want to pay for a fucking adapter. I went, you don't have to. 250 and 292 will bolt right up to whatever. It had a turbo 350 in it already. Yeah. It'll bolt right up to that six cylinder. And he was like, oh. Oh. I was like, you don't have to have an adapter. You don't have to have an adapter if it's 235 or back. Fuck yeah. Hit a monkey. Um. But uh hell, I don't know. We could just be showing progress on the dually. You know, right now. There you go. Yeah. You know, we'll take the I think we're gonna throw the frame of the bucket in the dooley. In the dooley and take it on Saturday.

SPEAKER_02

No, you guys just gotta break the news to everybody. What? The check bounced. Oh yeah. The billion dollars didn't go through. We are we apologize, everybody. But but then next show, never know, might be the Thunderbird.

SPEAKER_01

Never know. Did you like my pictures? I was making. Yeah. I got the lower end blocks for the Thunderbird. Hell yeah. Yeah. So next time it could be the Thunderbird. Fuck it. Really and truthfully, if we figure out why the brakes are dragging, it could be the Thunderbird by Saturday.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Take the hubcaps off, paint the wheels black, put the lower end blocks on it. Boom. Send it down the road.

SPEAKER_02

Progress. Yeah. Progress. Progress. Wait, show up stock.

SPEAKER_01

Show up stock. Put the hubcaps back on it. Show up with the Thunderbird stock. That's a good driving ass fucking car to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_02

That's what I'm saying. Show up the show up with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Show up the way it looks now. And then and then just the time it takes from after this show. To August. To August, the amount of things that you possibly are going to do.

SPEAKER_01

It better be finished and sold by August.

SPEAKER_02

That'd be the only problem.

SPEAKER_01

Then what do you take? A picture. The dooley, the frame, the chassis, the tea bucket. I don't know. You see what I'm saying? I'm almost certain that by the October 10th show, she'll take them all.

SPEAKER_02

It's too bad all these things weren't trucks, and you can just take pieces that bucket pieces of the tea bucket, like all of a sudden here's the frame, and the next time you show up, it's just the bucket. Yeah. Yeah, here's the body.

SPEAKER_01

Here's the body. But I'm pretty sure if the Thunderbird's still around by October, which I hope it's not, I hope it's sold. Right. Um, but whether there's one of them or two of them, I'm pretty sure everything that's running will go to the October show.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Here's the progress, motherfucker. Here, here. Yeah. You know how I did that? With my open fucking checkbook and endless resources. Endless resources. I built three bitch. And Narana, one of them got a foot of trailer wire in them. What's wrong with that? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing until that's the excuse we use. Oh yeah. Speaker wire. Yeah. Because from what I had heard, it's a build-off, not a fucking repair off.

SPEAKER_05

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04

That's what I had heard. I mean, I got a 61 unibody you can start with build-off.

SPEAKER_01

I left this undone so I could show progress. Oh, that's a repair, my friend. And you half-assed, you left it half-assed until whatever. Here it is. Yeah. I'm building it. Yeah. It was already built. You just covered it back up the way it should have been done originally. Oh. I don't even want to know what the model is. That's what I'm going to start telling Brooke. I left my dishes in the sink so that you see progress when you do the dishes.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

I don't think that'll work.

SPEAKER_02

You know, you know, I saw I saw this video. This guy walks up, his wife's doing dishes, and it's on it's on Mother's Day. He walks up and he goes, baby, what you're not doing Mother's Day on dishes, or you're not doing dishes on Mother's Day. And she goes, Oh, baby, goes, you can do them tomorrow. I fucking lost it. I'm like, damn.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Friday night. I'm going to be like, hey, I came first so that next time you could come first and see the progress. You can see the progress.

SPEAKER_02

Catch me, bitch.

SPEAKER_01

No shit. Boy. I cannot talk about it. I cannot go into detail, but damn, did I have a conversation with somebody today on the phone? Speaking of coming first.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah, we'll leave that one alone. Yeah, things get a little weird sometimes. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I had no idea. I can't even try to do a snide joke or like a little.

SPEAKER_03

I was just trying to rack one in my brain. I couldn't figure it out.

SPEAKER_02

Because it would just, you just spit it right out. Give it away. Yeah. Instant.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Huh. Well, I know if things ever end, they've got a pretty good insurance policy. Double check. How was that? That was good. Thank you. That was good. Thank you.

SPEAKER_02

You just didn't. No, no, it didn't. Okay. Because like I thought of that too, and all of a sudden, like, oh. That was a pretty classic joke, wasn't it? That was good.

SPEAKER_01

I hope when I die, my legacy is my classic joke.

SPEAKER_02

All out of bubblegum.

SPEAKER_01

Oh fuck. Oh boy.

SPEAKER_02

There.

SPEAKER_03

So I'm good. I'm good now. Yeah. Yeah. Got that out. Corey has no idea. So definitely not.

SPEAKER_01

I am also, guess what? The frame and the bag for the frame came in for our new uh our merchandise booth. Hell yeah. Hopefully the cool part of it will be here tomorrow.

SPEAKER_03

Hopefully.

SPEAKER_01

I was all fucking excited Monday. Like I was in a great mood because all day it was sitting over there in the floor in the lobby in the box. And my 3:30, 4 o'clock rush started happening every day. Yep. Every day my phone started. One of four packages. Well, then Brooke and Spencer get here, and I'm like, hey, let's go, let's check out the canopy. Well, I'm I was getting a little irritated because my phone wouldn't stop going off. And people start coming in the shop. It's every every every day at the same time. Well, I opened it up and I think I'm like, this will be cool. Let's take the look at this. And I was like, it's a fucking frame. And I'm like, well, oh wait, maybe the cover's in this other box. There's another box over here. Sure. Maybe that's the cover. It's the other frame. It was the bag for the frame.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

I was like, well, that's a 10 by 20 aluminum frame. Then you look on the box and it says one of four. Yeah, no, I don't think it did.

SPEAKER_02

I'm just kidding. Wouldn't that be fucked up? All of a sudden you're like, yeah, and you open it up.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, look at the box. Yeah. One of four packages being delivered. And what's really cool about this, I haven't seen it since mock-up because this company doesn't send you a sample. Right. Like you proof it in this fucking little layout where it's just some triangles. Right. You're like, yeah, it looks good. They never show it to you like mocked up. So it's going to be a big surprise for all of us.

SPEAKER_02

Wait, you didn't do it on that same one year? No, no, no. Oh shit. No, no, no. Oh, wow. No.

SPEAKER_01

I I had found a company that I could finance it through. Fuck no, I didn't spend $2,600 on one.

SPEAKER_02

Not at one time. No, bro. That's why I was kind of getting sick. Yeah. When you're like, it'll be here. And I'm like, what? Yeah. I mean, I saw the fucking price tag. We're trying to get that bitch lower. Yeah, I did. Like, can you take off just one color? Yeah, we saved a lot. Uh nice. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

But it'll be here. And that's cool. Because next weekend, uh, two of the events that we are sponsors for will have the booth at. Which just so happens to be the same weekend that I'm supposed to be going to relax in the park. Oh yeah. But we are a sponsor for Cars and Coffee, Rockwall, Saturday morning. Yeah. And we are a sponsor, we are a shirt sponsor, like a title, like a up there sponsor for Cars for Casa on Sunday. Shit. Car Cars for Casa's the Rockwall, Rockwell Courthouse, big one. The like 400 car one. And we're a sponsor, sponsor. Okay of that one. Saturday. Sunday. Saturday and Sunday. Yeah. Saturday morning. Saturday morning is Cars and Coffee. Gotcha. Um Wow. Thank God you finally answered your neighbor who just got $11,000 from us, gave me your name and number. I'm Chantel. Okay. You giving me a cut? Should have answered that. Shit, hold on. Is it too late? Fuck, it's too late. I should have answered that one. Anyway. Be like, yeah, I know. My neighbor gave me the money. What the fuck are you talking about? Permanently assigned to other applicants waiting in line. If you're currently employed and owe more than $10,000 in combined balances.

SPEAKER_02

Well, cool. That's what I don't understand, okay? So I go on these things and it's like, we've got debt relief. And then you go in there and they wanted you to pay them. Yeah, they want a loan.

SPEAKER_01

You want to give you a loan.

SPEAKER_02

Listen, motherfucker, that's not what you just said. You said debt relief. You're going to relieve me of my fucking debt.

SPEAKER_04

Not you remember how pent my ride. Give me a loan to relieve the pay.

SPEAKER_01

You remember how pent my ride that you had some lights for your lights and right now, you got some debt for your debt. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Like I remember this lady called me, and it was, I mean, I was still working at YRC, but anyway, she calls me and she's like, sir, you know how much you could save? And I'm like, what do you mean? Well, we can help you with your debt. And I'm like, you can. So we go through this whole process. And she's like, so for $280 a month, and I'm like, you're not relieving me of my debt. Hold on a second. You said you were saving me money. You're just reassigning my debt. And she goes, Yes, I am saving you money. I'm like, I'm not paying those people. Yeah. And then you want me to pay you to pay those people. If I'm not paying them, who's saving money? Yeah, that's what I thought, bitch. She just assumed you're paying them.

SPEAKER_01

I feel like that's flawed logic, but I get it because I do the same shit.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, if you don't, if you're not paying your debt, how are you saving me fucking money by making me pay money to you? All of a sudden I gotta start spending money. That's fucked up. Like you want me to be responsible. I wasn't responsible since I fucked my credit up. Like, no thanks. I don't want to add you to the list. Bye. Yeah. Like, like when we went to go get our house, they were like, okay, so we're gonna run everyone's credit. So they run my credit, my wife's credit.

SPEAKER_01

And they're like, so that's every so we need to just do their debt. That's every time I go buy a car. Yeah. They're like, is this gonna be a both girls name? I'm like, you can try. But I can tell you what the answer's gonna be.

SPEAKER_02

That's why my car said my wife's name.

SPEAKER_05

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. The only one that I got that ain't in Brooks' name is that fucking Dooley. Everything's in my wife's name. Um, so yeah, Corey, I I've got a dilemma. Um for one, he has a dilemma. The trip to relaxing is gonna be really expensive. Yeah, it is. You know what I'm talking about. Fuck yeah it is. You know what I'm gonna talk about, what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_04

But he's like, fuck yeah, dude. I got a V10. No, I got a V10 on a trailer being pulled by a diesel.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah. Sick miles to the gallon. And then and then we got a room for whatever it is, three nights. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Thursday, Friday, Saturday night. Yeah. So there's 400 bucks probably. If you had that little couch thing, I told you put an excursion, you wouldn't have to get a hotel.

SPEAKER_01

And then eight to ten miles to the gallon.

SPEAKER_04

Oh every time we stop to use the bathroom, we'll fill up. It won't feel as bad. Yeah. You'll just notice it when we get back.

SPEAKER_01

I'll bet you I need you I need gas before I have to piss at least once.

SPEAKER_02

What the fuck are you talking about, bro? You sure Emma's grounded. Take her car. No, I'm gonna take something cool. We cut the springs on it.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna take something cool. Um but also we're sponsoring two pretty big local shows that I mean with a booth. Hopefully it helps. With a booth.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, hopefully we have some money for that next year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I'll go next year. I don't have a ton of merchandise to sell, but we're gonna take it all. There ain't a lot here, but what's here is going to those two shows. Clayton and Les and you, I think. Somebody said they would handle everything. Yeah. Like it'd be handled. It's not that I don't trust everybody to handle it. But if it's it's the show part of our business, which is me and Jimmy and Tyson. You know what I'm saying? And you're not there? Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

Like, I gotta, I gotta make sure I make it. So the the NASCAR one that I made. The first one I'm making is Jimmy. Okay, last night. I was actually gonna make one like it was Dudes for Boobs, and I'm like, I don't know how cool these guys are. And I was gonna like, hey, let's do a t-shirt run. And I'm like, no, probably not you with the fucking what's his name's Harry Chest. Yeah, probably not.

SPEAKER_01

But yeah, I'm trying to, I don't know, man. Like Barber Joe and Jason from Carpenter to Barber are going to relaxing. I know. They got a room in the same hotel as us. Hopefully it's not a shithole this year. Um, I don't give a fuck.

SPEAKER_02

He said, eh, maybe not breakfast. Maybe not breakfast.

SPEAKER_01

I'll go with breakfast today. I love hotel breakfast. I do too. I love hotel breakfast. Well, dude, I love continental breakfast. It shows to be redone. So you want to hear a funny story. So back when I used to do Uber, right? I'd drive Uber. If I was out all night doing Uber, about 645 or so, 6 30, 645 in the morning before I decide to go home, I'd just find a choice hotels, like comfort suites, quality suites, and something. I'd walk in like I was on the phone and I'd walk straight into the deal and get breakfast. Hey, I was a diamond member. Yeah. I mean, see my card. Yeah, I'm a diamond member. Park up front too, motherfucker. Yeah. I I dude, I used to travel a lot. Like a lot, a lot. So I was. I was a diamond member. I just rolled up and get breakfast. Yeah. I pay for it. Um but yeah, I don't know, man. I gotta I gotta think on this. Man, I could definitely go for a concert. Like the Brian that needs to get the fuck away from here for a little while wants to just say, fuck it, everybody, I'll handle the boot, no problem. And I know that. I know that Oh, it'd be fine. It'll be fine. I know it will. But fuck. Who's the one that does all the videos? Who's the one that does all the posts? Who's the one that you know I'm saying?

SPEAKER_04

Fuck. Who's gonna step up over there?

SPEAKER_02

The following weekend? Yeah. Okay. When do you get paid? Fridays. Okay. I can get the gas. You'll be good. Yeah, I'll be fucked by Sunday, but geez, how far away is it?

SPEAKER_04

That's what it seems like.

SPEAKER_01

I know. That's uh the other thing is I'm I'm trying not to. I know, but damn. But you gotta you got a full business you're you're doing here, so that's understandable. I paid money to sponsor both of these shows. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And it wasn't a little money, like it wasn't.

They don't always have every size available in the certain shirts that we pick. Yep. So if they don't have your size, I'm sorry. I I'm trying. They're stretch. They're stretchy, bitch. Yeah, they're bella candies. Like they're soft, they're the soft, and they're not the the ones that form to you. Like they're nice. Yeah. Like, because I'm I'm still tubby. Like, that's a belly. Is it comfortable? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah. Corey's wearing a break room bucket shirt right now. He is. Yeah, he is. Um so I had to redo the break room bucket shirt, the OG shirt, and one of the other ones. Because I when I was redoing the website yesterday, I hit the wrong button. Yeah. And I had lost like four shirt designs. Oh shit. So I had to start over. Yeah. But you can't tell the difference. They're the same. Yeah. So I need to order another one and put them in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd love for you. Yeah, I think you should. What size you wear? 2X. Oh, yeah. I got some new shirts out there hanging up right now you can buy. He's like, this motherfucker. Every time I come up here. So when I bought him, I I bought like I was it was like one for me, one for the store. One for me, one for the store. One for me, one for the store. Right. But I paid full price for them just like everybody else does. I didn't order them as inventory, I bought them myself like normal. So it was kind of cool because I profited.

SPEAKER_03

But profited from yourself?

SPEAKER_01

Well, out of my personal money, I bought shirts and the company profited off of them. But what?

SPEAKER_04

Because the company's but the company's a different account.

SPEAKER_02

Correct.

SPEAKER_04

It's a different entity.

SPEAKER_02

So the company made all the money. Right. Right. But personally.

SPEAKER_01

So it just went from kinda. Yeah, but I still only paid the discounted price.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

I'm making all this up. Now I got Tyson Tyson's. He's like, what the hell? Fucking ears are smoking. See, that's the bit of the thing. No, I paid full price and didn't fucking profit. I watched that.

SPEAKER_02

That's the good thing about Tyson. Like all of a sudden he's doing the math and all that. Where to me, if he was stalking me, I'd be like, okay. Yeah. Tyson's like, wait. Sure, whatever. Yeah. Tyson's like, wait, that doesn't math. And I'm like, fuck math. How many fingers I got to use? Yeah. I got toes too.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, the stickers. Can you order the stickers in bulk? Yeah. Will you get it cheaper? Ish. Because we were talking about doing the dragon destroy stickers and kind of passing them out everywhere.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah. We can order them in bulk that way too. Um and and we did it with it, doesn't have any dates on it. It just has the state of Texas with the autism puzzles in it and just says Dragon Destroy Showdown. Doesn't have a date, doesn't have anything on it. That's cool. They're timeless.

SPEAKER_04

I was gonna say, does it have a website or does it have a link or anything?

SPEAKER_01

No, it's got nothing.

SPEAKER_03

It's just uh it's like a legacy. There's no time plan.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but it's Googleable. Somebody would be like, what the fuck is Dragon Destroy Showdown? You can look it up. Okay. Yeah, you can look it up. It shows up. Um, I think Tyson's gonna check me on that. Tyson's checking everything out. He's my fact checker now. No, he isn't, but I I can. Tyson turned into a liberal. Oh, damn. He's fact-checking everything.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, right there. You can sell roofs and shit, huh?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Oh man. Hey, by the way. Oh, hail damage. By the way, hail damage. Fucking all you cogity ass fucking car show dudes. Y'all leave Josh Forsyth from Mustang Sally Productions alone. God damn, dude. Yeah. He's doing this show. It's he gets paid to do car shows for people. Yeah. Right? Somebody says, hey, I want you to throw a car show. He's like, okay, it's gonna cost you this much. And they're like, all right, I bet. You're gonna bring a shitload of cars and people and attention and blah, blah, blah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

He's doing a shark a car show called Cars and Conservatives. Well, it's a Republican politician that's paying him to do a car show. Yeah. Oh, god damn, dude. There's people, I guess I'll be skipping this one and blah blah blah. Shut the fuck up. Guess what? It's still the same fucking walnut wood fucking plaque. Calm the fuck down. That's fucking bullshit. Just because it's called something. He actually had to go make a post. Well, he didn't have to. I would have thought everybody eat a dick. But he he went and made a post going, hey, we're not political. We're neutral. We get paid to do car shows. Blah, blah. Man, fuck you. Yeah. That's what that wow. Don't come. Don't come. That's where we're at nowadays.

SPEAKER_02

Is that but hats off to him that he could he could, you know, swallow his pride and be like, you know what, hey guys, you know, we're not political. Yeah, eat a dick. Yeah, but yeah, but us on the other hand, be like, fuck off. Yeah, go fuck.

SPEAKER_04

Don't show up. Don't fucking come. I wonder when he when you that was brought to him, if you kind of thought about it for a minute, like, hmm.

SPEAKER_01

You want to hear something funny though to me? Here's my thought process on this. It's a business. Look, man, even at a local show like Josh's, the vehicles that show up typically are pretty nice high dollar vehicles. Right? They're pretty expensive. Here's my thought. If you are someone that has the expendable income to own such a vehicle, and you and typically have somebody else work on it, which is expensive. We're expensive. Yeah. Right? If you have that, chances are pretty high that if anybody else were president right now, you'd admit that you're a conservative. Yeah. Just I'm just saying. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

No, you're right.

SPEAKER_01

Chances are pretty high right now that you you may not want to admit it, but you're probably a conservative.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, just saying. I'm not saying Democrats don't have money.

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_01

But old people complaining about it being called cars and conservatives, you're probably a conservative. Yeah. In three and a half years, you're going to say you're a conservative again. I'm just guessing.

SPEAKER_04

I'm just asking a couple of questions and they're conservative.

SPEAKER_01

Right now, I promise you, I am fucking neither, because ain't nobody done nothing for none of us right now, other than taxes were a little better this year.

SPEAKER_04

That's true. I can agree with that. I'm just saying. Yep. I mean, fuel's definitely not helping.

SPEAKER_01

Fuel has not changed. And and that's another like.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, it's going to get lower next day. We're going to start shooting some more. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Well, yeah. And then out one side of their mouth, they say that the shit going on over there in the Strait of Horton Moose is not affecting us because we are an exporter of oil, not an importer of oil. But then out the other side of their mouth, gas prices are high because of what's going on over there.

SPEAKER_04

Doesn't make any effect.

SPEAKER_01

Which makes no sense. Out one side of a senator's mouth, he'll say that we're not at war. We're preventing war. But then when he's asked about gas prices, he says out the other side of his mouth, of course gas prices are high right now. We're at war. Yep. He literally said the word duh. Duh. Of course they're high. We're at war. Duh. That's what he had said. But what hold up? Ten minutes ago, you said we're not at war. We're preventing war. Yeah. Yeah, we're preventing them. And I don't get into this shit very much because I don't give a fuck what people think about what I believe and blah blah blah. But I'm telling you right now, that's a motherfucking money grab. Yeah, oh yeah. Oh yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's like when small businesses were well, our prices had to go up because of the tariffs. So this part that I'm buying just showed up yesterday off the boat.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And it was affected by the tariff. Or you already had it in stock in a warehouse in fucking Boise somewhere. Correct.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Because you didn't pay no tariff on that motherfucker.

SPEAKER_02

No, because the minute, the minute the barrels went up, those those barrels, I mean, because we're getting them fresh.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we're we're digging them out like fucking hungry, hungry hippo out of the water right now. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

No, they're fresh.

SPEAKER_01

It's never it's never just a stock. It wasn't stocked anywhere. No, not at all. That's why it's expensive now. Because it's brand new. Yeah. Y'all are fucking us non-stop. I say. Non-fucking stop. Yeah. I'm not saying fuck the government, but wow.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Not wow that you said that. Wow, yes. Fuck the government.

SPEAKER_04

Come on, they're for the people, right?

SPEAKER_02

So this Saturday we've got the build-off, Hazelwood Hot Rods, Canton Swap Meat. Right. Dudes for Boobs, trailer giveaway. All the money's going to go to Dudes for Boobs. There's going to be on the build-offs, they're being judged, and it's on a point scale. But also at all of these shows, there's a People's Choice Award. Right. But for people to vote, there's a token that you buy. It's a dollar a token.

unknown

Right.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's pretty. Or you can be like, I want to give this one 10 or whatever. So those points add to your total of points for the build-off. But also that money also goes to dudes for boobs. That's cool. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So if you buy, if you buy Jeremy, that's a good idea, Jeremy came up with.

Thanks to the chief. But it was cool. But they were like, people were showing up at 8 45. 8 30, 845. There was cars pulling in. They were like, what the fuck? I went, I told y'all. We've been promoting this on Hometown Hot Rodder. I was like, there's gonna be anywhere from 50 to 100 cars. He goes, We've never had more than like 15. I was like, You're gonna have 15 before this motherfucker starts at 10 o'clock. You might have 20 before it starts. And people just kept coming in and kept coming in and kept coming in, and they were like, oh fuck. I was like, I tried to told you. And and they just kept pulling in and kept pulling in, and they kept having to move the barriers back further and further and further and further until we blocked off the whole fucking street. It's like I was like, next year you're gonna double. Might want to start seeing if we can get the park next year, not the square. Yep. The square was cool. It was cool. Doing on the square was cool.

SPEAKER_03

Right. And I had mentioned it five or six times. Like I was doing my job. I usually don't start pounding them real hard until about two-thirds of the way through the show. Right. Try to get that last push for more money.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

About an hour in-ish. I was like, hey, what's the 50-50 at? She said, It's doing pretty good. I was like, sweet. Can you count the money and let me know? And so I can start trying to bump it up. You know what I'm saying? She's like, yeah, I sure will. And she came back over and she said, It's at $75. I said, huh? What? Wow. She goes, Is it $75? I said, so the winner would get $37.50 right now. Holy crap. Oh, wow. I was like, fuck. So I I kick in early and start just railroading these people for 50-50 tickets. Yeah. In the silent auction. Yeah. Fucking railing them. And I was like, listen, if this thing don't get up to a respectable amount, I was like, we're going to put this bitch in Blue Ridge next year. Oh. Rival. Yeah. I was like, we're going to move this show to Blue Ridge if y'all embarrass me. I'm telling you now. I was like, I grew up here, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Y'all are not going to make me look stupid. We're if it don't, we're moving it to Blue Ridge. I was like, Chief, we're moving it to Blue Ridge. And he has, I saw him thumbs up me from. We ended up at 768 bucks. Damn it. So there you go. Yeah, not bad. Fuck it. And the person that won it donated their halfback. Nice.

He gets way more attention when he does it than when I do it on Roddenstyle. Yeah. Yeah. Um, it's two different deals, right? Hometown Hot Rodder is kind of the fun, entertaining deal. Yeah. Rodden Style's like the eeyore of the hot rods. Look at my hot rod. That's a nice hot rod. There it is.

SPEAKER_02

That hot rod's not hot rod. So are we not separating and making just this? What do you mean? Remember, we were talking about Facebook. Yeah, no. We're gonna leave it? Yeah, no, yeah.

But um no, it was cool, man. The show was great. No, that's cool. It was it was fucking fun. Um yeah, first, second, third, and best of the.

SPEAKER_02

I just I just uh my my my favorite part is like how do you introduce that? You walk up and you're like, hey everybody, so we're gonna do the top three and the badass.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and then I had to explain also, I was like, hey, just so you know, if this was a show with more awards, best of show should also get first place.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Because how do you get best if you're not first? So if you ain't first, you're last.

SPEAKER_03

There should be best of second, third, fourth.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Or just first, second, third.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Right? Yeah, but then there's awards. No, I hear you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Well, what am I gonna do with this one? They wouldn't let me just buy three. So then also, uh, we did a where do you just buy four awards?

SPEAKER_03

Amazon? I don't know. Like, isn't it usually like a bulk deal?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they'd like for you to buy more, I'm sure. That's how we did ours. But this why it was so fucking expensive.

SPEAKER_02

You're gonna go up there. It's gonna be the same way. Do they have dates on them?

SPEAKER_01

Put a piece of tape with a new year on it.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I thought you meant he bought a box. I thought you meant a box like 120, but there's only four each year. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

That's what for the next quick man. So um I was like, well, we gotta add something. So we're gonna add a hometown hot rider pick. Oh. And we're gonna give a $250 off at anything they want in the shop. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So uh, but Mike and uh Clint, who's a police officer in Leonard, and Val, Square Body Queen.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_01

Because I didn't want to judge it. I don't know. You ain't gonna you ain't gonna put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby. Hell no. Not to do with the microphone. I will never, ever, ever judge in a car, a show I'm MCing ever, ever, ever again. Not with four wars. No. Definitely. So I s so at awards time. Okay. I'm like, man, I'm gonna piss all these all them old men. They brought their chairs. Like they finna Oh, they were all at all. They thought they were gonna sit there for an hour. Yeah, they thought they had a bunch of awards to go through. Yeah. Shh. I'm like, so there's four. I said, but listen to me. We're here for a charity. We're here for the Leonard Police Department High School Scholarship Fund. I said, Leonard, Texas has never seen a car show this big. And everybody started clapping. Like, all right, I got their attention. Right? I was like, y'all should be proud of this. They all started clapping. I was like, let's just say that the city didn't know if there was going to be two cars or two hundred cars. I was like, so if you spend a bunch of money on awards, then you're not going to have any money for the scholarship fund because that's money got that money got to come from somewhere.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Right? So if you spend all that money on awards, well then what are you giving to the kids? So right then I'm like, and I saw some old people nodding their heads.

SPEAKER_02

So I'm like, right then I'm like, yeah, you know, you're you know you didn't want to win, huh?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you're like, you're like, yeah, that's right. Don't be the dickhead that gets mad about the lack of awards. Right? That's about the kids. Yep. Right? Yep. So that's how I put it. And everybody was cool with it. Nobody was mad that there was only four awards. I was like, fuck.

SPEAKER_02

Nice. We pulled it off. Nice. We pulled it off. Never doubted it. Nice. Now the shit talking on the ride home, totally different.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_02

That'd be cool. Like make it like like the si every six like do it six months in.

SPEAKER_01

Right. Well well like if people are if they do a poker run for motorcycles at it, then let's do something for the cars too. Let's do a cruise for the cars. Yeah. Right. Um or even a poker run. I mean it's I don't know. But it could be a simple cruise. Like everybody meet, like have a have a uh like several meeting points. A meeting point in Rockwall.

SPEAKER_03

Quick trip and round that.

SPEAKER_01

Seems to be effective. Uh a meetup meetup in Rockwall at Hobby Lobby. Oh wow. Maybe a meetup in Greenville. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Uh and then meet Whataburger and Quinlan. Yeah, we've done that too. Uh yeah, we could do that, you know what I'm saying? Like three meetup points. Rockwell, Quinlan, Greenville. Yeah. So that people coming from like Terrell or Canton and stuff could come to Terrell or Quinlan. Right. People from Rock from Dallas could come to Rockwall, Rockwall to Quinlan. Everybody could, yeah, Quinlan. God damn. Who the fuck would have ever thought Quinlan would be the hub for something?

SPEAKER_04

Actually, you'd probably have to go to Walmart Park and if there's that many people meeting. Maybe. Except for drugs.

SPEAKER_01

Except for what? Drugs. Yeah. Yeah. There's a new gas station getting built in Quinlan. Really? And it's got a taco costle.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, yes. Yeah, I saw that. Yeah. That's right there on the corner.

SPEAKER_01

I guess that'd be old 276. Yeah, business 276 now, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. There's also a new cafe being built in downtown Quinlan. There's a new case. Big Texas Cafe. Oh, damn. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

That's better than Mama's Cafe.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah, that place is weird as fuck. It's weird. Yeah. That's a weird motherfucker.

SPEAKER_02

I ain't done shit in Quinlan. That's what I'd say. No, I mean, like, I've never even I I may have driven through it. Yeah. But never stopped for nothing. Yeah, I wouldn't either. Even in my bad days. I ain't never been to Quinlan. Yeah, I ain't never been that desperate.

SPEAKER_01

Um, just kidding, Quinlan folk. We love you. Yeah. Um But yeah, no, it was I'd like there's some cool shit we can do with that show for sure. Yeah. For one, it's in Leonard, and it just felt cool to be home. And it felt cool for people that I haven't seen in 20 years to see me doing what we do. Yeah. Like that was fucking cool. One one one I say lady, she's my age. We graduated together. But she was like, Did did you bring all these people? I'm like, I like to think that we had a decent hand in it. You know, she was like, I've never seen anything like this in my life in town, ever. She still lives there. So I'm like, Wow. Fucking cool. Thanks. It was cool. It was a cool feeling. Hell yeah. Um, we got all the we used to call ourselves the shop crew back in the day. Yeah. Everybody that worked on cars at Lloyd's. We were the shop crew. Um we had stickers made back when stickers were like before it was cool. Right. When like the only cool sticker was the Calvin pissing on stuff. Hell yeah. Well, we had the shop crew sticker made. It's like a blown motor and it says shop crew in Leonard, Texas. It was cool. Yeah. Anyway. You need to remake some of those. We got that'd be cool. We got all of us put together.

Um, but yeah, I had we took the Dooley and the Mercury, um Stevie brought Lloyd's truck, uh they got the square body, red and silver square body, Billy Chevelle, Robert brought his square body, Steven brought his Mustang, and then after the show we all went to Lee's. Oh yeah. And we all backed in front of the building and took a picture and ate lunch and shit. Like it was fucking cool. I needed it. It was it was cool. And then I had to haul ass back to Rockwell because Spencer was being baptized.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_01

Terrell, Texas. Oh bullshit. There's nobody from Terrell calling this time of day. Speaking of crackheads. Oh. On the phone, not Terrell. On the phone, not Terrell. I've been to Terrell. Yeah. Yeah, we used to go to Terrell every week. Yeah. For a while we were recording at Silver Saloon. Yeah. And then they had made me mad. That was a good day. It was. Yeah, okay, it was. Okay, we'll do our best. And you guys take too long to do your episodes. Okay, we'll do our best to shorten it up. We had went from two hours to three hours and 48 minutes for our very last one. Yes, sir. And never went back. Never. And then they had me MC an event, but they wouldn't let me go on stage to MC it. I had to do it from the DJ booth because they were mad at us. Um 15 minutes into it. Well, actually, the this act, this musician, this band came on stage, and he was from Nashville. Holy Christ. And he didn't want anybody in his green room. Like, I'm supposed to say I have access. I'm supposed to be able to interview this motherfucker. Right. I've I have access to the green room. No, not with this guy. You don't. Okay, he must be pretty fucking good.

SPEAKER_01

I don't even remember his fucking name. I don't know. He was like three foot nine. Big old fucking hat. He was he was fucking terrible. So anyway, he made it like a song and a half in. I'm not kidding you. And I went to because we had VIP, the whole section, whenever we would go MC something at Silver Saloon, we had the whole VIP, didn't we? Like not the two halves of it, because there's two halves of VIP. We had the whole goddamn thing. We decided who came into VIP. And um I walked over to all my people and I went, go pay your fucking tab. Because also that night we didn't get our drink for free like we normally. Normally they'd bring us three or four buckets of beer. Yeah. That night they were giving us pay. Okay. Like he was mad at us. I was like, okay. So I went over and I said, Go pay your tab now. We're like, why? I was like, we're fixing to fucking leave. I was like, the minute, the fucking, because I always do like let them play like two or three songs, and then I'll do my part and tell everybody where they're from, and blah blah blah, right? I was like, the minute I get done with this second part, I'm walking the fuck out of this place. And everybody's like, no, you're just calm down. I'm like, no, we're leaving. There was like 23 fucking teenagers in there. There was no crowd. Wow. And uh this dude thought he was hot fucking shit, uh, wouldn't let me sound check with him.

SPEAKER_02

Well, and that's the thing is like the people, the people playing, the people there aren't there for the people playing. The people are there for the music in between. Yep. And immediately it's like that per that person stops and everybody flocks back to the dance floor. And it's like, yeah, they're not here for the music.

SPEAKER_01

I said my thing about that dude. I literally went, he's from somewhere in fucking Tennessee. That's exactly how I put it. I was fucking mad, dude. I'm I was pissed. I was like, I'm sure you can probably find him on Spotify, maybe even on the radio, and this dude's looking at me like I'm an asshole. And I went, so uh, yeah, go look him up. I bet there's a QR code somewhere around here. Click, turn the microphone off, threw it to him, and I went, we're fucking out of here and we won't be back. Yeah. I was mad, dude. I'm talking about fucking mad. I had done fuck. A bunch. A lot. A bunch. Like we were supposed to do a fucking uh a podcast with them, and they're supposed to give us access to all their social media and all this shit that they never did. And well, I was fucking mad. I'm so I was so mad that I'll still talk about it by the name, by Silver Saloon. I don't try to hide it like I do other shit. Fuck them. Yeah, it was bad, dude. Yeah, that that place. He's like, You're not gonna finish the show. I mean, you're not paying me any motherfucking way, apparently. Yeah, they didn't give me nothing you were supposed to give me any fucking way.

SPEAKER_02

The only reason we got him free is because we walked through the back while you guys are digging tunnels or whatever the fuck you're doing there all the time. No, I swear. Fucking every time you're in there, they're doing construction in the back room with it closed, and then fucking all of a sudden they come through with like a uh wet dryback and fucking go dump it and then come back in and close that same fucking door. I'm like fucking rock hammer and shit like that. There's only one other thing I could fucking think they're doing.

SPEAKER_01

I mean the ground's thinner between uh Warez and Terrell. It's easier to drill holes in.

SPEAKER_02

I mean it's a good cover fucking silver saloon.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah. Ain't no silver, maybe quartz. Maybe bunch of red clay between here and there. Damn, can you imagine having to do? Oh fuck. Yeah, I was fucking hot, boys. Uh so I was gonna bitch about people with AI. I was gonna bitch about people bitching about AI. Whatever. It's not going anywhere.

SPEAKER_02

You know, you know the problem is, is yeah, it's not going anywhere. It's just like any other fucking generation of shit that comes around that fucking nobody, some people want to accept it, some people don't want to accept it, and fucking five years from now, we're not even gonna be talking about it, we're gonna be using it. Yep.

SPEAKER_01

Or you're gonna be an idiot and fucking my favorite is the people that bitch at you for using AI, and I'm like, do you know how many things during the course of your day have been generated by AI?

SPEAKER_04

85, 90% of it now.

SPEAKER_03

A lot of people a lot of ads on social media are created by AI. Thousand percent.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and and you know what I it's funny as it's almost all of them. Yep. It's just like a really cool search engine. That's all I think of it as.

SPEAKER_01

So there's an yeah, there's an Amazon commercial on TV, some little Asian chick, and she runs up to hug her boyfriend, and she's on her tippy toes, so she buys some kind of fucking water boots. It's raining. And then her eye mascara is running, so she goes on Amazon while she's hugging him and buys some mascara. Anyway, the next day it shows up on her front steps and then it thunders and she smiles, but whatever. That fucking commercial is AI. That chick looks like a fucking robot. That commercial is AI. I guarantee fucking to it.

SPEAKER_02

Hold on. So she she's ordering all this stuff while it's raining? Yeah, on her phone. And then all of a sudden, ding dong, and then the fucking there's her new phone because she just fucking water damaged it. Yeah. Fucking bitch. Right.

unknown

Right.

SPEAKER_04

But she's AI anyway. But she was hugging it.

SPEAKER_02

For real. Hugging a dude. Oh, I get it though. But what you didn't see was she was typing in his credit card number because she pulled his fucking wallet out of his back pocket.

SPEAKER_04

You see? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Fucking I know the fucking RFID reader. It's it's and it's definitely AI. So stealing identity.

SPEAKER_04

You use AI to make a decision if you can't figure out what you want to do. Well, yeah. Where you want to eat.

SPEAKER_01

You ask it where you want to eat. Like I tested everybody last night, and I put this before and after picture up that Spencer had given me a long time ago. It was a Model A coupe, and it the top, the before was moderately chopped, not channeled, just a traditional style hot rod.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And then the after is like rat rod chopped and channeled and sitting on the fucking ground and blah, blah, blah. So I just tested everybody. Yeah. I'm still doing my I'm still researching this rod and style thing, right? I'm trying to figure out what kind of following we got. You know what I'm saying? Like I'm just trying to figure out. That's why I've been post up your this, post up your that. Let me see pictures of this. What is this? What do you prefer here? I'm trying to figure out what kind of following is there so that I know how to pick go be Brian. Right. Right? I said, what do you prefer? Stock or chopped? I didn't say stock like the top picture, chopped like the bottom picture. I said, what do you prefer? Stock or chopped. And all of a sudden everybody's like, Why are you using AI? Some people would pick one. Stock.

SPEAKER_04

I don't even care.

SPEAKER_01

Some people are like, chopped, and this and that. And both of them are cool, and neither fucking one of them. And you know what I mean? And but there was questions like so many, there was one, so many cool cars out there, you don't have to use AI. And I was like, true, but I also don't have to worry about somebody saying that I put a picture up of their car without their permission, and now they want royalties off of it if we monetize. And then Les finally caught the test. Les goes, neither one of those are stocked, even the top one's chopped. I was like, boom. If there was a price less, you would have won it, and I deleted the post. But my point to it was that nobody's reading. They're they're more worried about H AI. I bet you got a car show for conservatives too. You know what I mean? Like they just they just want old motherfuckers want something to bitch about.

SPEAKER_02

They just want some someone to see them. That's all it is. You don't have to comment.

SPEAKER_01

Barbara Joe sent me the funniest fucking picture after that post. Yeah. Because he knew where I was going with.

SPEAKER_02

Bro, hey, it just hit me. You need to make a sticker. It's gotta say chat GPT, certified master mechanic. Certified artist.

SPEAKER_01

Because it really helps me a lot. It says if your event flyer is AI, ah, I ain't going, but look how he did it. Good God. I mean, you got a wiener dog, a little stick figure shooting the finger. What the fuck? That's my point. Is that a t-shirt? AI, it will be. That'd be funny. So AI there tonight. You can order it. AI is making it to where people that usually couldn't now can. Does that make sense? Well, yeah. Correct. Like what I'm you know what I'm saying? Like now we can do things. And yeah, I get it. There's there's artists out there that that make their living doing that. First of all, I ain't never paid an artist to make shit other than artwork for shirts.

SPEAKER_04

But like you've said, I think you said this before. If you spend your money on having the artwork made without using AI, that's the money that could go towards the charity. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Or even if you're doing it for profit, right? If I can make it on AI for nothing, well then I saved five or six hundred dollars on artwork.

SPEAKER_04

But you can when I look at AI, I look at the design. Yeah. It's you could totally different. Yeah. An AI one is not the same. No, it's different. No, it's so you know, if you want AI, do AI. But if you want that traditional artwork that you would see on a bigger show.

SPEAKER_01

Some of my AI shirts are pretty fucking cool though. Yeah. And but me and my Chat GPT are homies. I heard. Chase Johnson has a special eBay. I got a special Chat GPT.

SPEAKER_04

He got a special whole internet. What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he got a whole Chase got his whole internet. He has his own internet. Man. Yeah, ChaseNet.

SPEAKER_04

Chase Net. Terminator.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he's got his own fucking internet. He got his like his own backpage. Yeah, him and Elon are sitting up there like what's up, buddy? You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02

Like Oh, I know what I was fixing to do. Yeah, I don't know. I do. Well, that's good, because you're the one who's gonna do it. You fixing to call somebody? Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_04

Oh.

SPEAKER_01

Live? Call Joe Edfeth. Oh god. Oh shit. I hope it connected though. No, it didn't. Fuck.

SPEAKER_04

You had to hold it up to the mic.

SPEAKER_02

He fucked up. Hold on.

SPEAKER_01

Barber Joe. Oh. Yeah. What are you doing, buddy?

SPEAKER_02

There it is. Jesus.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I'm watching the uh the old boob tube. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_02

He's rubbing one out.

SPEAKER_00

Oh shit. You guys are recording an episode.

SPEAKER_01

Maybe. Welcome to the Hometown Hot Rodder Podcast. Once again, Barber Joe Hedge Pith, everybody. What's going on? So I just wanted to call you real quick about your amazing artwork last night. Can I make a t-shirt out of it?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, absolutely. I would love to take credit for it, but I I fucking stole that shit too. Well, hell yeah. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01

He's like, I had AI make it. Yeah. I want it to look like an old screen. Yeah. Yeah. I want to do that on the front of it, it'll be like AI with a little greater than sign. And then it'll be like your skills. AI is greater than your skills. AI is greater than your skills. So yeah, we were just going into a real quick conversation because we're already an hour and 24 minutes into this dude. Holy fuck.

SPEAKER_02

We had nothing to talk about. Uh-uh. But we sure did talk about it. Yeah, I don't remember what it was. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Don't you guys have like a car meetup over there?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah, that's what I was here for. It got rained out.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, did it?

SPEAKER_01

Again. It wasn't supposed to rain today. But Corey Colgrove here because he mad, he he was so dedicated for it that he drove his newly bagged excursion to work today, which is how far is that drive, Corey? 55 miles. 55 miles to work. And then from there all the way here. I think it's only 45 to here. So you're 100 in. And I'm still another 30 from home. Oh yeah. He pulled up. I was like, oh damn, you didn't see the post, did you? He was like, Nope. Nope. Nope.

SPEAKER_04

Looked around and laid it out. And I'm like, only one. My hundred and forty mile fucking round trip.

SPEAKER_01

$50 in fuel. But yeah, so we've been talking about stuff, and I was kind of going on to this small, quick little AI argument. Joe, what is your stance on AI?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I I feel like uh I feel like if if you don't get behind it. Not necessarily behind it, but if you if you don't at least understand it and know how to use it, you're just gonna get left behind.

SPEAKER_02

Boom. Like like for like for real, if you stop and you think about this, watch an old person use a cell phone. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like if you don't if you don't fucking no, I'm just saying slow down. Every day.

SPEAKER_02

What are you talking about? But that's my point, is is we have to get behind this whole AI thing because we're gonna look like the old guy speedwalking in the mall with this fucking with trying to figure out what his jitterbug's doing.

SPEAKER_00

I speedwalk at the six flags, watch it.

SPEAKER_01

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00

We ain't got no we ain't got no malls. They close all them bitches down.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, us too. Yeah, that's actually us too. We have Amazon. Yeah. Yeah. Uh you said we had Amazon. Walmart, Walmart.com. I call it Samazon.

SPEAKER_04

The flat into you.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah. Um that's how I am. I think like I understand that artists get paid to draw stuff. I get it. I do. I 100% understand. How many of you motherfuckers out there are actually using a pencil and piece of paper to draw the shit, though?

SPEAKER_00

Exactly. I mean, you know, I've shown you uh, you know, my my buddy's artwork that does does all the uh car show flyers, uh Chris. Right. I've I've shown you his artwork. He he does all that shit on tablet.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, on on SketchUp or Illustrator or whatever.

SPEAKER_00

He does all that stuff on yeah, on a computer. The only time he hand draws anything anymore is when he's actually doing an actual painting or if he's tattooing someone.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, now there's cats like Johnny Jalopy. He's a bad motherfucker and does everything on paper. And he is fucking and he is fucking amazing at it. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But that's known Johnny for a while.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's cool. But like, and I love him to death. Like he was I was I I had the most fun at Starbird hanging out with him. It was a fucking blast. But not everybody has access to a Johnny Jalopi. 100%. And not everybody can afford a Johnny Jalopi.

unknown

Right.

SPEAKER_01

And if you're if you're if your event is for charity, you're dumb if you do buy Johnny Jalopi.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, because your your money is going to somebody else and not your charity. Correct.

SPEAKER_01

And if you're doing it for profit, you need to really out, you need to really weigh your options on whether or not you want to profit off of that instead of hiring somebody.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I mean, I feel I feel I feel like um kind of a traitor to some of the to some of the uh the my artist friends, but at the same time, it's like you know, I mean it's I ain't gotta wait.

SPEAKER_02

I ain't gotta wait for this shit. I'm just waiting for it to fucking think.

SPEAKER_01

I mean I mean the way the way I see it, the way I see it is that Artists need to start embracing AI so that they can use it to help them with their skill.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, a hundred percent. Yeah. And and I and I do believe that like like I was saying, my my buddy Chris, I think he does. I think he, you know, because I mean he's on on demand, creative creative every day of his life because of what he does for a living, not just being an artist, but you know, being a t-shirt printer. Um they they call him with an idea, and he has to come up with the idea and and then put it on, you know, put it into graphic form. So it's it's on-demand creativity, and I'm sure. I mean, I don't know, I've never asked him, but I'm I'm pretty sure that he you know uses AI to an extent.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I mean, you almost have to, man. I would think they would. Yeah. I mean, I'm not saying you have to, but it's the same thing as Is that that pimp Tyson in the back? Nope, that was Corey Colgrove. Tyson's just listening to you. All right. Tyson's just listening to you. Why do you call you a pimp, Tyson? Damn. Does he know something I don't know? Are you running hoes? No. Is that why you're so tired all day? No. Because you stayed up all night running hoes. Like maybe like I'd have money. Right.

SPEAKER_02

Like heater hose. Or herpes, maybe or money.

SPEAKER_00

Ain't nobody got enough money. Nobody's got enough money.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, dude, herpes is free. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Oh. Baltrex isn't.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know, man. I just I th I think it's the same as like uh the internet came out. Well, oh fuck, what happened? Or like for drafters, like in in the engineering world, when AutoCAD came out, learn how to learn how to use AutoCAD. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

You know what I mean? I mean, I was a little kid that did paper and pencil and drew and all that stuff, and then everybody told me as I was getting older, you need to start learning the graphic design. And fucking my shit's obsolete. I'm not a Jalope.

SPEAKER_01

Original, like um, like founding surveyors, land surveyors. Yeah. Right? Well, all they used to fucking transit. Well, then the total station came out and they had to adapt. And then GPS came out, and everybody's like, oh my god, it's gonna take everybody's job because you only need one person to do it. No, you still need it's a it's a it's a um compliment. It's you know what I mean? It's you know, and then laser scanning came out. Oh fuck. That's that's four million survey shots per second, and it takes me nine hours to do a thousand.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but what would the companies do if they just continued to do it like a step behind?

SPEAKER_01

Well, and you still have to use total stations and GPS to set control for that laser scanner to know where the fuck it's at in the world. Right. Well, then all of a sudden, like I made a living scanning highways 300 feet at a time. Well, then they came out with mobile LIDAR and aerial LIDAR where you could do the shit from a helicopter or a van at 50 miles an hour. Learn how to do it, learn how to do it or move on. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and and it's it's no different. That's all the same thing. Everything evolves. Yeah. You know what I mean? We used to have to have horses to get places. Now we don't. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Uh same thing with cars, carburetors.

SPEAKER_00

We're having the same conversation. We were having the same conversation in the shop to today, and uh, the guy who's uh getting his hair cut is an an AI um uh engineer. Okay, and he and he said, So far, as far as we can tell, you have you are the luckiest motherfucker on the planet because nobody AI can't do what you do because it has no sense of touch and it has no sense of uh motion.

SPEAKER_01

That's a good point. And I don't think it'll be able to ever do what we do in the shop either. No.

SPEAKER_00

No. No, it's not gonna be able to build a car and diagnose. I mean, it might be able to diagnose a car just given, you know.

SPEAKER_02

All this new all this new shit, you can't do anything without a fucking computer doing it for you.

SPEAKER_00

Listen, I have listen, I but the old shit that has no sensors and has you know no, you know, ECM, the AI is lost. It won't know what to do.

SPEAKER_01

Right. I have I I have typed in some symptoms of old hot rod problems, and just to see what it said to do for it, it was wrong every time.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah, because it it doesn't know it it doesn't have anything to read off of.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah. Yep. Yeah, but ask it something about the new shit. Yeah, and it'll give you fucking about four troubleshoot right deals, and all of a sudden, oh yeah, there it is.

SPEAKER_01

Every fucking time. Yeah. Look, man, y'all everybody knows how bad I hate modern engine swaps into hot rods. Oh yeah. But if we don't at least work on them, eventually there's not gonna be any work for us.

SPEAKER_02

I know. And so I just unfortunately, here in probably 20 years, everything's gonna have an LS in it. 100%. I mean 100%. Um I know that's it. That's it, I need a vomit for it.

SPEAKER_00

That's if the electric motors haven't taken over.

SPEAKER_01

Uh there you go. Yeah, and and it's so that's the same thing, right? They're not trying to force out loud force AI down our throats. No. So all of a sudden everybody wants to use it. If they would have taken that same approach with electric cars, yeah, there'd be a lot more electric cars on the road right now.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah. A ton more.

SPEAKER_01

Because all that happened was all of our rebellious sides kicked in. It's like, fuck you, I don't want an electric car. Right. You're not gonna tell me I have to. Right.

SPEAKER_04

California.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you're not gonna give me a deadline of when I have to have a fucking electric car. So but if they would have done it just as an alternative, yeah. Look, man, I've said this before. For me and Brooke, electric vehicles make all the sense in the world.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, in all actuality, for me to go for a little bit. Yeah, for you too.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it makes absolute day long. It makes absolute sense for you. Yeah. For Corey, not so much.

SPEAKER_00

It makes no sense for me.

SPEAKER_01

No. For Tyson, it makes no longer. My commute's too long. Yep, 100%. But for me, I could run damn near all week on one charge.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. What do you think? I'm 12 miles from my work? Probably. Maybe. I know I'm like twenty twenty miles.

SPEAKER_01

No, you're probably more than that because I'm about 10 or 12 miles from work here. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

But I'm like 21 miles.

SPEAKER_02

I'm 65. I'm like 21 miles.

SPEAKER_01

And then like for Brooke, she'd have to charge it every day, every night when she got home, but she'd never have to buy gas.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

For what for what she does, it would it would make absolute sense for both of us. I'd charge it at work once a week. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_04

Like there's nowhere even nowhere to charge a car on our campus. Really? A DDU? No, no test. Helpful hint. That's surprising.

SPEAKER_01

Damn.

SPEAKER_00

If you do own an EV and you're you're one of those people that goes to the gym at four o'clock in the morning, you're gonna you'll be able to charge your car at you you can charge your car at the gym.

SPEAKER_01

True that. Yeah. Somebody's gonna figure somebody's gonna figure out how to run that fucking thing off a Milwaukee battery anyway.

SPEAKER_03

Yep. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Well, hey, some redneck in Milwaukee. It doesn't matter. At my work, they have a fucking charger, a fast charger for Tesla.

SPEAKER_01

Like I ain't never seen those shit ever. Like people using the 12-volt Milwaukee batteries to jumpstart a car and some crazy shit.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah. I do it all the time. I know you do. I do it all the time. I got these alligator clips. And I literally don't have a fancy deal that you like clip onto it. I have alligator clips on fucking wire that I shove into the fucking terminals.

SPEAKER_05

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02

And I go, go before it smokes.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Hurry up before it melts. How long to that song bitch catches fire?

SPEAKER_02

No, I still use batteries. I've been using for years. Same ones. It's like I use forks.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yep. Yeah. I mean, it's just you're gonna have to be on board with it. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if you are or not. No. It ain't going nowhere.

SPEAKER_02

No, fuck no.

SPEAKER_01

Look, look at. I mean, they want to put microchips in us and take away our ability to use our bank accounts.

SPEAKER_02

Well, they already did when they did the COVID shots.

SPEAKER_04

Then you're all frantic getting in your truck and trying to trying to leave and you can't start it because it's like, oh, you're not fit to drive.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yeah. Fuck you. Fuck that shit. Yep. Oh yeah. Yep. Not in this carburetor mount fire. Ba boom. Fuck you.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Like I it's just like I watch Ethan and Clayton with Holly Terminator. I mean, Ethan's a goddamn whiz with it, dude. He deals with it every weekend on his dad's racetrack. Yeah, didn't think about that. Like he can tune the fuck out of them. Oh yeah. And I'm like, whatever. Yeah. Where's my fucking vacuum gauge? Right. Yeah. Where's my fucking vacuum gauge and screwdriver? Yeah. And then he looks at me like I'm fucking stupid. Right.

SPEAKER_03

He looks at you like a caveman or something. You're gonna short the computer out with that fucking thing. What do you mean on a screwdriver?

SPEAKER_02

Unfortunately, in 20 years, that whole idea probably will be out the window. 100% 100% out. Yep.

SPEAKER_00

So how does that dynamic work in your shop between the the the young the the younger dudes and the older dudes? Um the older dudes, you know.

SPEAKER_03

Well you want to answer this on the air?

SPEAKER_01

When we can get the younger dudes to get off their asses out of the break room. I'm just kidding.

SPEAKER_00

There is no break room. What are you talking about? Just say, isn't there a car in there? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Well frame anyway. Yeah, I don't mind answering this on the air. I don't I think it's actually a pretty decent melt, really. I really I really do. I think um certain guys have certain talents. How's that, Tyson? Um some guys are really good at drum brakes. And some guys aren't. Tyson's really good at drum breaks. Tyson, uh, I pass that that knowledge torch over, Joe. And Tyson is Tyson is the best person at drum breaks under 30 years old within 50 miles of this shop, I promise you.

SPEAKER_00

Nice.

SPEAKER_01

You know what I mean? And then uh Dax is carburetors. Yeah, we're gonna work on carburetors too. Uh Dax is really good with carburetors. Yeah. So it's kind of nice. I don't have to go build and tune every carburetor now. Nice. Um, I still tune them. I'm not gonna lie. I still want to be the one tuning them. I enjoy it. Um, but Dax is building them. What? Tunes them on the card.

SPEAKER_03

I just finished building this one. You want me to go and tune you like, no, no, no, no, no. It's okay.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, I'll do it. I'll do it. Just bolt it on the carbon.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, just put it on. Yeah, just put it on. Just do all the rest of the work. I'll just come try the screwdriver.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and read the vacuum gates. Yep. Yep. But I I've been teaching y'all how to do it. Yeah. Um we taught Chad how to set valves on a Volkswagen Joe.

SPEAKER_00

Nice.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. See? So we're we're kind of passing those torches because I I don't, for one, I don't have time to be out there working on cars anymore.

SPEAKER_00

Did you but did you teach him to on cylinder three, he's gotta leave he's gotta leave a little more gap? Yeah. I actually did say that. Did you? Okay, yeah. Yep, I sure did. Volkswagen, and so air, air cooled dudes, pay attention. Cylinder three in a Volkswagen, you gotta leave a little more gap because that son of a bitch gets hot.

SPEAKER_05

Yes, it does.

SPEAKER_00

So you you yeah, you you gotta because otherwise they'll just keep backfiring on you and they'll just never fucking shut up.

SPEAKER_01

Yep, give it an extra two or three thousandths.

SPEAKER_00

Um, that's what I've always done.

SPEAKER_01

Yep. Um man, we drove that little car after we got done with it. It had a freeway flyer transmission in it, Joe. Yeah, that little car was running. It was a 63, and it was running every bit of 72, 73 miles an hour down the highway like it wasn't shit. God dang. It was cool.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, we yeah, our 66 was running 70 mile an hour. Yep. When when my five when my wife's foot was in it, I could barely get the bitch up to 55, but somehow or another, my wife could get it up to 70.

SPEAKER_01

That freeway that freeway flyer, you know how on the speedometer of a Volkswagen you got the the shift marks? You know, you got see where it's got one, two, three, four on the little red lines on the speedometer. Um it was a gear ahead of itself every shift.

SPEAKER_00

Oh.

SPEAKER_01

So I could you could shift it into second when it said shift it into third. And then I mean it was that thing would haul ass. I look hard ran good. Fuck yeah. Um freeway flyer. Never owned a car with a freeway flyer, and now if I ever get a Volkswagen, it will have one.

SPEAKER_00

Very cool.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it was.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I mean, you're you're due for a Volkswagen.

SPEAKER_01

No, I just got a dually.

SPEAKER_00

You can fit the Volkswagen in the bed of it.

SPEAKER_01

And a tea bucket. Fit the tea bucket in the back of it. And a Thunderbird.

SPEAKER_00

You can fit the tea bucket in the back of it too. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I don't think the bucket of the bucket frame will fit in the truck now that it's extended.

SPEAKER_00

Another foot.
