Welcome to the dirt life show with your host, George Hamil. Yeah What's up everybody we are going live today for mg motorsports see all of it. We're going to talk about car builds today on the screen is backwards but we're gonna talk about car builds today we're gonna get our buddy's brand Gilliam and Billy Slade on to talk about their frustrations and everything with their car build so join us hanging out. We're gonna have a good time. Man. We got so much stuff here at img rent on one three fours car right here. Lots and lots of builds. But it's gonna be a good time. So let's get the boys on we're gonna have some fun talking Yeah, building cars. Let me see what's going down homie what what can you see? I can see your pretty face right Gilliam? What's up? Chillin man. How are you guys? It's I'm sweating bro it's 105 in my garage I figured I try to be like you guys and have all these builds going on in the back but there I don't count though because I'm not working on any of these are all I'm not gonna lie right now like seriously my eyes are like burning from the sweat today. It's been it's just been gnarly. Yeah, it's 100 balls over there. We're losing weight now you're going to be at fighting weight so when you go through the jump contest that is exactly that's what I was thinking I'm like you know I needed to die it anyway for the new race suit and this is I'll just go sweatshop it in the garage for two weeks. Brand brand how to make one size too small. Yeah, you go away. I had to make it go away. Alright, so we're going to talk about some pretty fun stuff today. I like when I talked to you guys earlier this week. I was like, shit, man. They're gonna take whatever time let's just say half hour hour to to do this Instagram Live. But man dude, that half hour could be totally used Kitt you guys, with your cars back going again. Man. You guys have a lot of work to do before. I got up early, and I already put 10 and a half hours in on the car. We made some solid progress today. So I'm feeling I'm feeling really good about it. Hey, in my defense, Brett also went to bed at like 630 Last night the sun was still out shooting a tag. I'm in bed. It was totally like, dang, I did like 10 hours and I hit a wall. Like wife came home. She fed me and then I was sleeping on the couch and like three minutes. She's like, let's put you to bed. I was like, okay. Did that's the way that works, though, when you're doing that much on your cars. Like, we actually talked about this a lot like in in off road racing? Not necessarily. Well, I guess it's the same basic context is that like most dudes work a 40 hour work week. And then they come home and work on their car for another 40 hours that week. And they barely make it to the races. I mean, that's how all these cars here at img are. So I can only imagine the stressful, you guys. It's been it's been a challenge. I mean, we started this build a good three months ago. Yeah, I was like, Oh, they will have plenty of time. And here we are nine days from the party. Like there's no car behind me yet. That's crazy as yours. Is yours kind of the same way? Yeah. Can you see it in the background? Yeah, there's Yeah, I mean, I think I think the hard part is, is just with limited products out there, even you know, planning a build these days is things happen. I've gone to backup plans, and then backup plans for those backup plans and good thing I had them in place to begin with. But, you know, it's still it's stressful because you know, you kind of like check something off the list, you're moving forward. And then you have to basically go all the way back to the beginning and kind of start over on certain aspects of it and work your way forward again. So that's a good point to bring up. Because like, a lot of things happen, right? Yep. Yeah, and maybe it's parts or pieces or colors or, you know, some things won't work. You know, some parts won't work with other parts. So those are always the hard parts that I would say, no matter how much you plan to build out. You have to be fluid and you have to be, you know, willing to basically sacrifice a little here to get a little there and kind of just kind of maneuver around the obstacles rather than just being stuck on one obstacle. Yeah, like to Billy's point. Yeah, totally a room to sacrifice stuff. I mean, we're building a race legal car. He's essentially building a car SEMA show car all his stuff is like, it can't be stacked like I'm ripping parts off and throwing them in the corner on top of each other like, Oh my God, those have scratches that okay yeah, but I mean it all kind of goes to the same I don't know in the same context though because you basically you have to really do it like one piece at a time like, Brent you're doing a whole motor swap like there's stuff that can go wrong when you're doing that motor swap, you might need a $2 part and that part could be 100% I mean, we thought we had a bent valve in the motor and when we tore it down there was something further you know wrong with it internally and the guys over at SF race works they hooked me up to you know a new partner of mine they're building out my race cage. Those guys are solid bunch of dudes, and I was stressing out he called me on Monday he's like, Dude, we have a brand new race motor that stock that just just sitting on the Craig's like come pick it up, throw it in your car, we'll we'll figure out your motor afterwards. That was like, my saving grace. You know what I mean? I was like, Oh, my God, guys are so awesome. So but Well, it's, uh, he got a doc but just cleaned up a little bit, but yeah, got the motor in and then I'm waiting on two gaskets to finish the install on it got a water pump gasket and an engine oil cooler gasket that's supposed to be here hopefully tomorrow. So it's definitely it's there. You know, I got the whole car rewired today. Put new radios in it all the underglow in building the wiring harnesses for that we worked on Wait a second. I heard a it's a what do they call it? I don't know. You know, because it goes to shows but also it's got a glow at night. I'm not worried about wait. We got to see six Rockford. Fosgate stereo in the race car deal with four subs. Yes. We're gonna battle on the whole time. Last year when I raced the freedom cup at Glen Helen, I had the stereo bump and the whole time we were you know, kick butt out there was great. That's hilarious. A smile on your face enjoying yourself and the crowd was enjoying the music. Yeah, I was having a blast. It was great. I was just, you know, throw out some penny wise. Yeah, that's hilarious. Man. I wish I had that stuff in my race cars back in the day. Matt, let's say you're not read said cowboy. Man. Yeah, he does he get himself in more trouble than he already does. Yeah, we just send it further. That's funny. So it looks like we got a few comments coming in. So you guys can comment into I know these dudes need some help. Or maybe some advice even or you could learn a little bit from these guys, too. But any tips and tricks that you guys have? Shoot them over? So we can hear them too? Because I don't know. I can get really img guys as well. Plus, hopefully I'll be able to Yeah, and we can we don't have all the answers. So don't think you know any comment is a good comment. Because I think you know, myself and Brent, we're both just, you know, we've kind of learned along the way. But there's no master booklet saying hey, this is how you do this. It just kind of you figure out what works for you. So I'm sure there's some people out there that have some better ways to do it. And if they're willing to share them, we're willing to listen and and learn and move forward with better ideas. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, totally. Not so many of my friends in my industry, like, hey, how do I hook this up? How does this work? What should I do? You know, like, this is my first time changing the motor to Ken Ham. And I was like, alright, let's figure it out and go and if I get stuck, I just called some of the homies that are in the industry. Where does this wiring harness go to? They're like, I just wrote that just based on you know, so is that is that's actually Sanford to help me that. That's pretty neat. So what happens like let's get let's kind of go backwards a little bit here. So what happens is you guys plan to do this build the or these builds, and you guys have people that are associated with the build the you know, if you have sponsors, you have people that you buy products at a discount, or you go down to your dealership and you buy them at retail price, whatever it is, and you plan to do these things and what happens when he like get close to the event and you like fuck, I'm not going to make it like or do you just push as hard to make it as possible because you have people that want you to be there or sponsors that want you to be Well, thanks, man. Yeah, I feel like I mean, the pressure is on right like, as we get closer, you really start feeling the stress especially since like UTV takeover and athletes, the athletes they want me to get there, you know, already committed to that. And with everything slowing down as far as getting parts in and you know, feeling the pressure of getting everything done. I feel like I just I almost committed myself more to it. You know what I mean? I'm easily prepared to go to bed only to wake up early to just spend 12 hours to get the car. But like, I don't know how many events we've done in the past where we're like, down to the wire, just trying to get the car together and get it in the trailer, and then still working on it when we show up, you know what I mean? So it's, as far as the pressure goes, you just kind of I, you know, for me, I like the pressure. It's exciting. And you know, it's all worth it. Once you get in the car and you've fired it up at the event and that like that euphoria comes over you and you're like, This is why we did it. You know? Yeah, the hours and four days. Like it was worth it. Yeah, totally. And before you answer Billy the kind of brings a little bit of real life to situation. Brands girl just commented and said, I haven't suggestion get your bed, almost all of them are gone. Today, I got them all out to the seats in the car. So my wife has been myself. But that that brings, that brings a whole nother reality of the situation. Like, you know, like, for me, I was doing all my race program out of a garage, you know, I'll be in a three car garage. So decent, but there was shit everywhere. Like no matter what you do, you never have enough. With this truck build with the body, like my whole box trailer has the whole body in the box trailer. So there's no parts that can leave in there. So all the new parts that are coming in, I was stalking in my kitchen in my dining room, my wife God bless her. She's just like, alright, you know, clean around these. And she's been she's been absolutely amazing and super supportive. So thanks, man. But on almost all the boxes. I was gonna say until you're in there, and she's like, I'm done. Overload This is it. This is the straw that broke the camel's back. We had a couple of those conversations during this, but that's part of it. Yeah, stick with it all day said that there were parts coming in. Hey, maybe what you do is like the trade off is be like, alright, babe, you can order 10 days on Amazon one part a day and put it in the garage or put it in the garage and take on a bad idea. And all right, Billy. So the same question to you like, how does it work? When you have that schedule the deliverables like you can and can't get parts? Do you go buy retail for them? Do you work with your partners? Like all that stuff? Because it seems like there's a lot of pressure to make it to the event. Like, if you don't show Yeah, and I think for me, mine is more a personal goal. Like I said it was gonna be there and I like to be a man of my word. But you know, I mean, like, I think at the end of the day, if I didn't go or didn't have the car there, I don't think anybody would really be upset other than I would be so disappointed in myself that that would be the deciding factor for me. So as far as parts, like I said, you know, like I've had backup plans and kind of contingency plans based on Okay, let's say worst case scenario, this doesn't work out because this is the world we're living in today. You know, nothing is a guarantee as far as parts or timing, things like that. And I just kind of been you know, like I've kind of had a backup for certain things and certain things that there is no backup for other things, you know, you can kind of work around and then you know, you know, last resort is is hey, you know, start calling around to local shops and find out hey, do you have this or finding the closest one and then paying overnight shipping to get things here? And I mean, I'm still so far off. I was looking at my phone today and I have 15 subpart Safari pages open right now with all with tracking information and like every half a day I go through and hit that refresh button just to make sure it's on time. And yeah, it's I literally have two personal pages open on safari the rest of them are all FedEx ups or USPS tracking numbers all just waiting for part so it'll probably be down to the wire and this card not finished into the trailer but I'm leaving Thursday night, getting up to Oregon Friday so I have four days up there that I plan on writing but if it takes me four days of camping and finishing it I'm totally okay with that too. You're leaving Thursday? Well, Thursday Yeah, late Thursday evening. Yeah. Oh my goodness, dude. So that's like that's the way I'm leaving Sunday. Like 3am So I should be there like Monday afternoon I'm gonna take my time getting up there and sleep this time last time didn't destroy that we did Shannon night we we just worked all day got up at seven and just drove straight through and then got there and unloaded the cars and went got content so by the end of Tuesday night like I couldn't even formulate sentences anymore. Like I'm not doing that again. I'm gonna drive halfway take a shower, sleep chill out and then go the rest of the way. Yeah, and that's so crazy that you guys I got I have to say thank you to all my partners out there. They really stepped up to help me get here like up V LIVE. SF race works so the guys are doing a great job helping me and they gave me a moto. Full Throttle desert wimps, rugged radios, Simpson seats. Rockford Fosgate Kwi clutches are doing my clutches right now, I said on my clutches on Monday, they got a Wednesday and they're like, we can't even rebuild these, like they're destroyed. Yeah, so he knocked my clutch out for me today and shipped them, I shouldn't have them next Wednesday. So I'm like, and then you know, Gator apps is doing some new logos for us. And we're just everyone's chipping in to help, you know, help help the passion succeed. So it's, it's really cool. I'm really pumped. That's crazy, though, man, especially with like, the new cars and all this, like, I don't know, the last couple of years, with the world being so crazy. It's like, I remember back when we had our Yamaha program, like it was pretty high, I don't want to say easy, but it seems like it was easier than what you guys are going through now. Because we were the, I don't know, parts distributor at the races. So we have all the products. So if a dude needed a product, we just bring it to the races, he could put it on whatever it was a Moto E swap it out, like all that stuff. So it was a lot of really good snack, that's when do to destroy us the shit out of my jack already out there. I want to, I want to I want to add to that. But that's the beautiful thing about this industry is that even if you have a company that you don't work with, you can call them and they're like, We got you. You know, I mean, that's the best part about this industry is it's at the end of the day, you know, people it is a big industry, but at the same time, it's a tight knit industry, and everybody's willing to help one another achieve that common goal, whether it be you know, enthusiast racers, you know, characters in the sport, they're all willing to pitch in a hand to help you out, which is a really good feeling. And it's a great industry to be a part of. Yeah, it makes you feel good, just about like society, almost, you know what I mean? Like, we have such a camaraderie in in the off road industry, like, all the crazy shit that's going on in the world that like kind of, you know, the tunes that you can just focus on the good stuff, you know, and just vibe out with everyone that's, that's working on, on off road cars and go rip with them. And like the fact that everyone bends over backwards to help a handyman, give a heavy helping hand. It's just, it's remarkable, you know? Yes. Take over, go into those events, almost every single one of those people that go there to even spectate have spent 1000s of dollars to be there. And we're all you know, congregating on one area to enjoy the same thing, which is motorsports, at its finest, you know, at an enthusiast level people go there to you know, I mean, they, they're spending their vacation time, they're losing money from work, you know, some people other people, you know, have, you know, paid days off, but nonetheless, you know, with all the prices of everything, fuel and RVs and, you know, trucks and everything, I mean, it's a lot of money for just the random person to get there, let alone that 10s of 1000s that will be there. So, oh, 100% I wouldn't, I wouldn't be making a good one, I wouldn't be making the journey 100% TV life and, you know, helping out with fuel and getting me up there to, to go build content. So it's, it's, it's definitely a team effort, you know, right. So what if you guys had like, let's just say you have multiple cars, or put me as the guy you're given advice to? I have multiple cars, and I need to get this one done. Like, why wouldn't I just give up building this one car, take my old car and then start building it again? Like, am I gotta run into the same issue again, like after it? Like, is it better to just keep moving forward? I think, go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. No, you're good to go. I was gonna say, I think, you know, for the most part, when you're, you know, like a garage builder, or somebody that's doing this as a passion. It's not so much of giving up because giving up isn't in the, you know, it's not in your vocabulary, it's not what you want to do. I think it's one of those things where, you know, for the majority of these people that are building these cars, it's such a passion. Like, for me, this is my way to express myself when I you know, after a long day of work, some people want to come in and sit on the couch and watch a football game, or, you know, they go out and they do their yard work or whatever it is that they that's their release. This is my release being in my garage, and, you know, basically putting my thought process and my creativity to work on a machine. So yes, there are stressful days, but I also am stressed out with a smile on my face, enjoying every single moment of it. So yeah, 100% and then a situation where I have two cars to work on. So I'm, I'm thankful for that. Well, like when I think about it, I think about it from a reality perspective, right? Like the amount of work that you're doing the amount of Some time, effort and money that you're putting in, but you literally just go down on yet another car, you know, I can't go take a stock car and send it 140 feet. So exactly. So that, that that's exactly what I'm saying, though is like, I want to know the difference, because if somebody comes at you and you're like, Dude, why did you put in all the work? Okay, I think it's part partly your identity. You know, like, for Brett, everybody knows his car. That is his passion. That's his baby. It's like a child. Same thing with my cars. Obviously, I don't keep my cars as long as Brent does. So for me, I there's some attachment, but also at the same time, but I think it's one of those things where he's not calling you Oh, that's why he's not calling you. Be nice, be nice to the girl. I think at the end of the day, you know, it's kind of like, you know, if you had a truck that you just, you know, it was your, it was your truck, you know, it was your identity, you built that truck. And just to be like, Ah, just go get another one, you know, for it takes a lot for you to jump over that hurdle and be like, Okay, I'm done with this, I need to move on. And most of the time, it's after that. It's to the point where you're kind of like, I cannot, you know, it's almost like because it breaks more than it's showing you joy. Yeah, well, the reason that I asked that question is because like, when we ran our racing programs, we will recycle cars pretty often. But when we would do it, the people would say, one of two things. Why don't you just get a new one if you've crashed it? Or why don't you keep your old one and just fix it? And then I think about like on the totally top level of the spectrum, like Rob Mac just won the Baja 500 in I think it's an eight year old or 10 year old, maybe even older, trophy truck, right? Like he just keeps rebuilding it. Like, there's a lot of value in doing that. And especially in this day and age like, Billy, I really commend you because you're building a car. No parts ready. Hey, there's, there's probably about 15 people after next week, that will probably never take my call ever again. Because I've called and text him at least 15 times going like, hey, so are those parts ready? So you got those parts? Hey, so what are those parts gonna be available? Can I get a shipping? Can I get a tracking number? And sometimes I get a response. And sometimes I don't sometimes it's like a late night email, like, this guy is definitely not awake right now. I'm just gonna go ahead and send this and I'll get an alert on my phone. I'm like, I'm responding at midnight. Yeah, I got. Like, I got I got a lot of like so well, that's actually a good point to bring up, though, is unfortunately, this day and age, the squeaky wheel does get the grease, and we always mentioned this on the dirt life show for young racers and young side by side enthusiast. Like, if you don't keep asking, you won't get it. Right. But I also think with that, you know, you don't want to sound like you have your handout. Like I tell every you know, every company and every person that you know, that helps me, whether it be sponsors or anything, how much I appreciate them, and how much they mean to me, because at the end of the day, there's a million of me out there that they could you know, I mean, it's not, you know, it's it's one of those things where I'm, I'm blessed, and I feel fortunate to be in the position that I'm in. And I want to, you know, reiterate that to the companies and the people that helped me do what I do 100%. But at the same time, I'll blow them up on a daily basis when you have on a daily basis when you have this stuff going on. Yeah, networking is key, but no begging. Let's see here. There's a couple other comments come in, they're going back to fire up too fast. So yeah, on daily basis, Brent, when you're going through all this stuff, I mean, how do you even keep organized? Like how do you know what to do that way? It's one thing I learned from Wilkie. It's bake a daily list of everything that you have a goal to get done and just go down that list and slowly check it off. It doesn't matter if you get frustrated, or something's not going right. You know, if you need to bounce to different parts of your list to check stuff off. But at the end of the day, if you can complete each one of those lists each day like you're taking strides forward. You know, yesterday I was struggling really hard with my list. Today I crushed my list and I'm like motivated. I'm feeling good, you know, so but my list for tomorrow. As hiccups. My powdercoated called me and said his oven broke and all my all my trailing arms and and radius rods and arms are all hanging in his rack ready to be powdered. But the cages done he knocked out my cage and like a day and a half. So I'm like okay, do I wait till Monday to get the rest of my stuff? Or do I drive down there, get the cage at least get the cage on now the light bars, put the roof on the car, and then Monday drive back down there and start the suspension component. So it's like He's just kind of got to move in flow with the list and just you know, stay positive and just find ways to work around stuff. Yeah, totally. And since we're at IMG, I'll show you like, they have a big calendar, a big whiteboard, they got all the purchase orders all of this stuff like every single day, they come in, I mean, obviously, you have the behind the scenes work that happens. Then they have a, even in the lunch room, they have a calendar that they write down stuff and actually take notes when customers call during lunch because there's no breaks, right? Like, the only break that you have is literally when the day is done whenever it gets done. So it's crazy how much that organization actually helps when you have all these different. Yeah, otherwise, yes, too overwhelmed and stuff gets missed, you know what I mean? So it's just like, like I had this week already planned out last week of what I needed to do on the car. And, and as I've gone through the week, everything's getting pushed out a couple more days because of, you know, parts availability and whatnot. So I'm just like that. I wanted to have the car completely rolling on its own by Sunday. And now that doesn't look like it's gonna happen till Wednesday. So I'm like, whoo, we're getting close. When you run into issues where some pops up, and you gotta like, not check off it to do list item, what do you do, you know, just as important and then just keep that that item as top priority on your list for the next day. You know? Yeah, that's pretty much what stick with it all day. Just to so you know, I mean, like, I can only imagine what you guys are seeing what the what these guys deal with on customers cars every day is pretty crazy, too. It's like the same stuff that you Yeah, I think we have, I think a little bit easier because obviously the IMG they have multiple employees and some employees work on you know, at a different speed some slower some faster. Also, you know, I mean, people do things differently. So, people management on top of these is a job I don't want Yeah, totally. But true when you have good people. Hey, look, yeah, cams in here to a couple can't wait for that new cam, bro. We're gonna sell this girl and build another one after the new one comes out. I saw all that stuff. Hey, quick shout out sponsor placement on you go nice. Yeah, looking pretty good, man. All right. So keep telling kind of keep telling us what the process is. Billy, if you kind of follow those same things that Brent was talking about you because, like, to me that organization is crucial. But it never ever goes as planned. Like, right? Yeah. So for me what I did on this car. I mean, I've it's been a long time coming that the pro car was going to come out. So I was like, okay, when it does come out, this is going to be my spare no expense car. And when I mean spare no expense. I mean, I went overboard on a lot of features. And some Yeah, you double or triple overboard. They're so sick, though. They're they're so sick. Yeah. So it's. So you really, really made a lot of work I did. And here's one of the things. Most of the time I lean on people I know, and I can trust this car, I, I went some avenues that I didn't know anybody. So I asked around, and I just kept making phone calls until I found people. And then when I finally found the number to the person that can actually do that. I was like, Okay, here's my timeline. And I said, If you promise me that this timeline can be met, then let's go ahead, but if it can't just please tell me now because I don't want to get my hopes up. I would say for 80% I'm 70% I'm on track with people that I've kind of gone outside of the UTV industry and kind of pulled from but at the end of the day, you know, I kind of a little bit had backup plans, but it was like, you know, it's kind of like one of those things like I'm I'm building a car and for me the car is like even the smallest of details make or break the car for me, you know, I mean, so if it's not aesthetically pleasing and it's not a complete package, I feel like I wasted all that energy. So for me, it's it's hard and I'm learning really quick that you know, adapting is actually a good thing for me because it's putting me in an uncomfortable spot that I don't like to be in but it's also the real world and I need to learn to basically you know kind of just work myself through it mentally and you know aesthetically pleasing for myself so it's Yeah, totally well when you when you say that like when you one thing I caught there was like the real world right? So also take into consideration all of the guys on the other end like wheel companies or any type of vendor like those guys are also fighting the same battle, maybe not necessarily doing builds, but providing Correct. What's the different builds? Like you said, Billy, you're wondering 100 that are doing the build, right? You know, Brent has different needs. But still, all of those companies are dry. And I always take into consideration I always tell myself, like, if tracking is late, I don't yell at the UPS driver. I don't call and complain. Because guess what, at the end of the day, this is a first world problem. We're building a really cool machine. But it's there's also a million other people that need things. There could be a mother that her formula is late, or diapers or an elderly couple that need their medicine. So you know, I mean, and it's all coming through the postal system. So at the end of the day, you just kind of gotta roll with your roll with the punches and go with the flow. Yeah, well, it's one thing I like, uncomfortable. So that's the part I got my uncomfortable. Hey, speaking of which, there you go stick with it all day. I don't know what Billy's doing to his car, but he's seriously building a monster. See my show car. It is so insane. No, nobody's seen it. Nobody's seen the color. I've kept it under tight wraps. Like there's actually a blue towel hanging right here right now. Because that has a piece of color on it that I don't want anybody to see. So it's it's one of those things. Yeah. It's all Riley just rarely just said always given the the delivery guys. Yeah, that's pretty good. I know, Joe, my UPS driver. I've hooked him up with hats and T shirts. That guy always goes out of his way for me. And he's like, like, he dropped off some deviant parts of me the other day. He's like, Oh, I didn't think I was gonna make it over here. And I saw your name. He's like, so I drove across town to drop off. I was like, scarred. Yes. Yeah. He's like, No, I'm not. Well, I'm not saying for I forget, actually, Brent, you can plan earlier today. That was 103 in your garage. I actually was going to start this video and a beanie. And a like a thick jacket and some sweats and be like, Oh, it's freezing in here. What's just first of all, you've got air conditioning in his garage. Duty in Lake Elsinore today I'm feeling the pain to about 100 over here in the shop. Just started sweating. I was like, this is gonna suck. Yeah, I'm sweating. Hey, do you guys, do you guys have the ability to take your phone to kind of show us the progress and give us like an update on what's going on? I got some things taped off. So there's not. Yeah, I'm good. Let's go Billy. I want to see that thing. Let's do it. All right. Here we go. Oh, it's just one of those things. Let's see what he reveals. Okay, I mean, there's not a lot to see. Can you guys see so there's some wiring down in here. A steering wheel? What? What's a yellow what's a yellow has been accountable there was that? Hey, that's, that's just tape. Don't look at that. That's just that's just a masking tape. There's not, there's not a lot. I like it. I do have some CRP parts. So are all the parts. That was okay. Those are looking good. Oh, if you've got to protect it. Brenton. You mean keeping it clean, just like SEMA Bill did. I'm like, I'm like out of the bubble wrap on the car go. Good. I can't show you the other side. Because there's already actually some plastics, some painted plastics on that side. So alright, that's all you get to see for now. And my bikes. I've been a when I do these builds, like I don't think people realize I have the tiniest garage. I have my wife's and my bike hanging up right here. So when I go to the passenger side of the car, it's a duck down every time. And I got yelled at by my wife because I left her bike out in the rain one time, and I knew I could never do that again. So now the bike stays and I work around it. Yeah, I'm gonna try and get some angles. So you can't see how messed up my garage is because there's parts parts just like just overflow. I'm getting close here. It's driving me everywhere. And I haven't had time to like reset my garage until I can get the car on its wheels and out of the garage. So like it's driving me nuts. But let me flip the camera here. So I do have something that I'm very excited about. I don't know anyone that's done this yet, but we put full train horns under the hood of my cam behind you or my train horns. We're taking you for a ride. I want to hear that horn when you're just sending it 100 100 feet into the jump just lay on the horn. So that's the plan that could I couldn't do the train horn work right So I can hit it in the air. So I put it on the floor Oh, it does work. Kick it seriously just rattled my ears. But yeah, I got the new Rockford Fosgate stage six stereo in here. We got the new new radios from Ragan comms in new Simpson seats with the suede seat heaters for the wifey nice these aren't these aren't bolted in I just said I'm in for the show these are this is on my list for today to try to get in. If not I'm okay with doing it tomorrow. Yeah, receipt nothing crazy. Oh, wait, let me show you some. You know some WunderGlo lights on the race car. So you have right right. Oh big. Yeah, we're waiting on a lot of parts back here. So it's looking at us to go oh my gosh, you got a lot we're getting there, bro. We're definitely getting there. But I mean, the amount of parts I still have that's it's almost mountain. So but almost one bolt might be left out. So don't ever ride back rear. No, no. aside, the brackets are now not bolted in yet. So it's like you know just I wanted to I'm trying to figure out the height with the the rugged or the Rockford stereo underneath of it. Like my front seats. My front seats have to be fixed mounted. So they're lower because the roof of the of the truck comes down so low, like I have to have the seats as low as they go. So I made special mounts. So this basically sits on the sub, like, like super low butts like up to it. Yeah, exactly. So and then I mean, do you look at look at my hair, just so you guys know, this one dealt with in the backyard. Like, there's my coilovers just, there's crap everywhere around. It is brutal. But that's about it. Do that. That's great. You did make a lot of progress. We're getting there. We're hustling hard over here. So I got it. Alright, so as we talk about the process and the progress and like all of the people that you guys deal with, maybe give us a couple of examples of people that came through and totally helped out like maybe gave you guys something faster than it would have really been or you know, tried to make parts quicker or anything like that because like you guys both said like the industry really, really bands together. There's a lot of camaraderie and stuff that happens dude, and that's something that's really meaningful to me. Bill, you want to start I'll go Go ahead. Oh, all right. Well, I got a long list man. UTV life this new this new company that we're introducing to the off road world is kind of going to change the game for UTVs I'm not allowed to say anything big about it right now but they have come through and helped me financially lot with getting the car ready and getting parts that were kind of out of my budget so huge shout out to those guys. Sal SF race works these guys right here dude stepped up super hard. You know sign me up about three weeks ago built me a full race legal cage for the car and then took it one step further and you know because I have to tap out the whole cage for the body and they're like bring me the chassis so I took the chassis up there and they kept it all out and made the body all bitch and build a new front bumper out the front so we can mount the train horns and you know, mounted a bunch of other stuff super, super cool, humble guys just willing to turn wrenches and laminate and you know, helping hand to the point where I found that I needed a motor. And you know, they saw how devastated I was. I needed a motor and they gave me a loaner to go use for UTV takeover. So huge shout out to those guys. Awesome crew, deviant race parts, UTV guys out of small shop out of Idaho, they've been throwing me all my upper lower control arm sway bar links, stuff like that MTS, they did all my suspension in record time. Kwi just did my clutching and like a day, which was awesome. I was super stressed. I wasn't going to have those till like probably next Friday or they were going to bring them to Coos Bay. So super happy they're rugged radios because one Simpson stepped up this year they got me new seats and harnesses for racy with neck restraints and helmets as they saw me. Yeah, they saw me send it it was a UTV takeover and sand hollow and we I think we did 137 feet but the car dug really hard didn't I like seriously got whiplash bags I didn't have neck or strength on so Jason price stepped up and helped me out. Rockford Fosgate same thing with them. They stepped up to give me the new stereo to go showboating and like they were having trouble getting kits together. So I was like, I got like three quarters of the kit and then like a part and then another part like they're just trying to get me stuff you know, so it's been hard concept powder coating. They stepped up really hard and they're getting all my stuff powder coated so it's all race ready and nice. Got it? No, I'm forgetting somebody. But yeah, all my homies to a ton of my homies. have been over here turn wrenches late nights helping me just like pulling together so if I forgot you I'm sorry I love you I'm super tired it's really hot yeah, and it's past and it's past his bed when that when I go No dude seven 740 Bro got an hour when I hear that though, that makes me happy because like that's not just like a few people that's a shitload of people right like and all your friends and homies and family and stuff like they all have other stuff to do man so it's cool that they're dedicating the resources really trying to help and Bill Yeah, sure. Yeah. My local dealership, Roseville Polaris and Yamaha they I mean they always take care of me they took care of me on my car any parts that I need, they'll special order it and overnight it for me HCR racing, they they always you know, Brandon and Chris and all those guys over there, they always take care of me so I can't thank them enough that I mean Brandon's now a really good friend of mine that you know, we spend a lot of time and he's he's actually the only reason that I actually know how to rock crawl. And I get people all the time. They're like you're doing guy you don't know how to rock bro. Well, it's thing I mean, right? And so do you know how to rock call? I've seen some videos are bad videos, because when you do something good, it doesn't actually look that good. You're just I'm kidding. didn't really tell you he's already enrolled. I actually did just enroll there's this thing called the UTV conquest. It's a three day adventure on the Rubicon. So I am actually doing that August 2 through the fourth. Yeah. Whoa. And I'm gonna do that in a brand new bone stock Polaris razor turbo R four seater that actually now everybody knows I have a four seat terroir on order so Hey, wait. Yeah, so did you did you name your car? Yes. What do you guys want to name I thought it was clever. destroy our so it's like a pro our destroy our nothing to do. I'm doing and destroy John in your face destroyer. Like, he's like working on the destroyer. I was like, Oh, that was cool. Yeah, yep. And then when I reveal the car, everything will make sense. I promise for me. Like the name means just as much as the build. So for me, it's not like I said, you know, like, I get super, super creative. And I probably go way overboard, but it's kind of like, I always I'm my own worst enemy. I always try to talk my last build and so many, you know, and in a lot of small ways. So for me, it's Well, dude, like, just knowing the name. Like, I feel like everybody wouldn't want to park their car next to you. Like, I have my unicorn build. I wouldn't want to park. Oh, so yeah, no, I It's, it'll, it'll be a fun car. And I mean, a lot of people are gonna be like, Oh, you're actually going to drive that? Hell yeah, I'm gonna drive it and I'm gonna drive it hard. So I love building the cars, but I also like, putting them to their use and not just having them sit in a corner and be on display. So So does that mean you're gonna you're gonna send it and hug fest up and I? Well. Hey, I'm gonna enter a couple of the events. I don't know that I like keeping off the ground. Like, I might do the wheelie contest or something. But, I mean, really? Well, I mean, would it? Would it be like lame if I just like went out there and like sent it like 30 feet? No, what if I did one? Yeah, yes. Yeah, everyone's gotta start somewhere, bro. My first jump. Yeah, normally like my smallest one, just so I can feel fill it out. You know? Right? Yep. So you gotta go would did? Here's the TV Wednesday. Wednesday, we'll go out and we'll find some jumps and go test. Okay, I'm done with that. Yeah, yep. Yeah, so and I think the other heart you got to have a certain you got to have a certain set of suspension and a certain set of no I'm just yeah everyone's like you Why do you go so hard? I'm like It's not me. But this guy doesn't listen, it just goes to the floor. And I think if I can get the car Oh, Chris Kristen saying hard path. Requesting she's actually in the house right now watching this so she can probably actually hear my voice over that her actual phone that she's probably watching. Right. So I think I'm not afraid to use the car but I also don't want any like, where do you get pro our parts? You just don't. So yeah, if I do if I do something stupid, then I'm pretty much out the rest of the trip. And until I know that I have a certain amount of parts in my trailer then I'll probably kind of beyond. I'll play it on the safe side. Yeah, pass it. I mean, yeah, I agree with that. 100% Because you want to take it easy on my car too, because the fall. So we come back that Monday, that following Thursday, I leave the Glen hill in the go race, the freedom cup in the car. So like, I don't want to walk the car, because we gotta go racing the next weekend. But you'll have like, you'll have like four days and be Hey, give me an idea. Yeah. All right. Let's go. Egg give me an idea of like, how do I say this? Like, basically, you guys are building the cars for different reasons, right? You guys have different agendas or riding styles, you're going to be doing different events at the UTV takeover, like that kind of stuff. So give me an idea, like what the mental process is to make sure that you're getting a bill like you did brands building, here's the big flex with the lights and all that stuff, but also the Senate. Like there's a big difference in both of your guys. And yeah, it's a it's a little nerve wracking, to be honest, like now that you know, now that we're putting such a gnarly cage on the car, and window and dads and you know, the car is going to be really, really safe for me to send it. Like a lot of law a lot plays along with that. Like, I don't want to push it too hard now, you know, and I end up doing something where I ended up, you know, breaking my back or getting in getting hurt. You know, I'm not I'm no stranger to injury from racing Supercross. So it's, I've gotten multiple broken bones broken my neck a couple times. No, definitely not trying to do the same thing. And so you know, I think for me, like building it with a little bit of show and go on, it kind of helps me take it down a notch. You know what I mean? If it was, if it was just like a whole jump car, I would go out there and I would push it to the limit. But since it's not just a full jump car, like I'm gonna go play with short cars, I'll do hawks bass. I'm not trying to set records like almak bat, but you know, I definitely want to give the fans something to see. So that's kinda Yeah, that's actually a really good point, too. But yeah, like if you come out now Macbeth car there's no other way to do you mean your whole time in? In San holo. I was like, because he wasn't gonna jump. I'm like, let me take a spin on that thing. Maybe I'll jump it for you. And I drove that thing. And it was a handful. I was like, that's like my car. 17 Oh, dude, it's a limo, that thing just goes straight. As long as there's no headwind. Like it floats pretty pretty. If there's a headwind, the hoods like a sail, and it just like loops out, you're like, Oh, this is bad. So you'd have like some bent holes, cutting it. matte red, I got some. So you don't Kate, Matt reds not mad. That guy doesn't even take his car to low. And I don't even know who Matt red is. So I'm gonna go with Brent on this one. I'm pretty sure that you can really, really longer name my cars too long. It doesn't really. Yeah. And he has a he has a four seater. And I have a two seater. And so it's, I mean, there's going to be definitely things that his car is going to be better at. And my car is going to be better in probably the polar opposites of those aspects. So who do you think? Well, that's one of the things that like that, I think is so cool. Like, you guys are building them for totally different reasons. But you're kind of in the same. I don't know. You guys still are fighting all the same problems. Like it's kind of Yeah, and I think so many people that are watching this will relate to this. Because if they're not building one right now, they've built one in the past, and they've gone through this and I know somebody commented the other night, on your posts the other night saying, like, I wouldn't even build a car right now with the parts shortages and everything like that, like you just be stuck in the waiting game. And that is very true. And but you know, it also at the same time, all these manufacturers are doing everything they can believe me, they want to take your money and they want to they want to sell you their product. So don't think it's they're just like, Oh, we don't want to sell to you or you or you they want to sell it to everyone. So they're working as hard as they possibly can to bring you parts across the board. Yeah, yeah, exactly. 100%. And then, so grant, you're getting pretty close, man, you basically redid this whole car, and you're gonna have a new motor and like, when do you think you're going to actually have it done? You think you're gonna be working on it when you pull up to the, to the to have it done before? No, I don't want to work on it when I get there. I mean, obviously, there's gonna be some work that needs to be done when we get there. Testing tuning and stuff like that, you know? But I mean, that's, that's whenever we go anywhere you gotta set up for the terrain you're on. But I definitely want to try and have this thing like, ready to run before it goes in the trailer Friday. So what's the suggestion that you would give me and the people that are listening or watching the show just like to help them do that same thing. Like if I was building my race car, and I didn't have the parts before the race and I had deliverables that I had to meet for my sponsors. What's it Gotta work around them you know what I mean? Like there's there's always avenues by us parts to get you through the race or you know lean on other other racers to borrow parts or something but I mean just you just got to keep pushing and you know find find the find the best avenue that will work with you as far as getting your car ready and then just put in the hours and and you'll get to it's just it's just a it's a commitment thing you know? Yeah, do it 100% Yeah. Phone a friend look on social media look on offer up look everywhere you can for those parts, and there's usually somebody that can do it. I know that there's always guys that holds parts, at the races, all kinds of different stuff. So just ask as many people as possible shoot. Yeah, it is. Um, yeah, she had a great a great forum to ask on his desert webs. Nick Palmer runs desert webs on Facebook. They have like 50,000 members, there's an every desert pepper that's on there is always down to help another river, like super great community and love them. So yeah, and I also to that same point, tr Walker to said, Where are you guys? We're at these days. Let's leave that. Where do we ride them? Dr. Walker said, Yeah, where do you guys ride them? Well, these ones are going straight to UCB takeover. But what about Ms. Doom on sand hollow? I mean, all like the big events. And the main writing places. I'm sure both the cars will be at. Yeah, we do a lot of writing up here locally to like Java and Ridgecrest Cal city. So it's like most of our little stomping grounds. It's easy to get to from my house, but yeah, we do glamorous couple times a year. I'm not a big Dumont fan. Too small and the Razorbacks suck. Hey, but hey, but they're paving the road in I won't go back until it paved the road. That's actually happening. No way right in. Yeah, you drive into Dumont and your motorhome literally falls apart, like right when you pull up to the ranger station from the washboard road. Yeah, so yeah, that's actually been paved. So I think it'll be I'll probably go there a little bit more. So wait, wait, wait a second. So Kristin said that. Oh, yeah. So it hasn't been announced yet. But they're gonna do some, I guess. There's a couple of companies that are doing it. I'll make sure I get you guys the information, but there's going to be an ice cream social and I believe hotdogs at UTV takeover, but they're going to basically let everybody know, the day and time to be out there. But it'll be somewhere out in the dunes. Yeah, I am always down for some. And I'm pretty sure it's all you can eat. I mean, as long as you like keep getting in line. I don't there's not like a wristband or anything. So if you can eat 10 Hot dogs, maybe we need to do like a hot dog contest out there. I'm not doing that. That would be that would be awesome. I think hot dog contest. There's so much that can go wrong. Brent's got to fit into his suit. Yeah, that's right. No shit I got I got one of those. Truly otter Bob's in my freezer calling my name right now as I'm sweating Oh, yeah, so I will get you guys the ice cream social. That's gonna take place. Cool. That sounds fun. So a couple of people what's up Jackie? How are you? stoked to tread said I need to get out to get TV takeover. Chris Cochran pro ego said ice cream and hot dogs. We can combo where you were still we still got Jeff. I got you. Yeah. Okay. Can you get Okay, cool. Yes, I quit it all day says I'm with Brett ice cream. Who could have Yeah, maybe we need to have an ice cream, maybe some cereal. I was just thinking that everybody's gonna have brain freezes cricket in their driving home. To drink I just I just ate 18 ice cream cones. Right. Yeah, geez. Let me circle back real quick. Going back to your point about talking, talking to people about what they can do. I think where there's a will there's a way never give up. If you keep looking, you will find what you're looking for. Just nowadays, it's a little bit harder. And you're gonna find that one person that really wants to help you or understands because they've been in your position. And I've done that many times where I'll help somebody because I've been in their same exact position, and I know how it feels. So just wanting to basically pay it forward or pay it back is a good thing. And that's what this community is really good at. So yeah, and you know what, that comes down to that minds? Yeah, like if you have a negative mindset, like, Oh, I'm not gonna finish this. There's no way that's gonna work out. It for sure is not going to work out. You have to do it every day like this is going to happen. I'm going to make this happen. And as long as you keep doing that In working towards that goal like you'll get there, you know, yeah, life's a garden dig it I just watched the job today too. So, yeah, I think I think that goes a long way though and and don't think that you're being a nuisance. Just keep doing what you want to do if they don't want to help. They don't want to help whether you ask them or not, that's not going to the inspector. I remember there was a million times one time specifically we're trying to get a 2016 Yamaha YZ ready for a race because it got smoked the race before. And we only had a week to build a brand new car I stayed up for three days in a row never slept, hardly even a and got the car done. Before we went to the race. We put like the stickers on in the parking lot at the races. We went out and won the race. And then so the next week, we got to do all the detail work. So there's always light at the end of the tunnel like yeah, those are like yeah, those are the best situations right? You're like God, we just put in all this work. And then everything just starts moving flawlessly. And you're like, Oh, we won the race. Like everything worked out. It it. It doesn't seem like it's moving flawlessly, but it's the vibe. It's the vibe that kicks in and everybody's part of that right and then the team is like coming together and like everything's happening. So when you guys show up to UTV takeover, it's just gonna be that massive like conglomeration of everybody being like, Yes, you got it done sick. Like, if you got one of these UTV takeovers, you got to get to one man, but the people that put this on Steve McCarthy and Jim and you know, all the volunteers that they have, they're just it's an amazing crew of awesome like minded people. Just tons of fun. Yeah, it's a great spectator event. Oh, go ahead, Billy, what is there? Oh, I was gonna say it's a great event. And the riding up in Coos Bay is epic. And I would I would relate it to their dudes aren't really, really big. So if you're looking for glamorous type stuff, that's not the place. But if you can imagine riding in the sand, but trail riding in the trees in the sand. It is like nothing you've ever seen. And it's so fun. I mean, it's, I mean, miles and miles of it. I tell everyone it's like it's like riding in the small part of Glamis in Yosemite at his MO. Like, like, wait, what I'm like, yeah, all three of those, like, yeah, it's like, I just mind FTO dude, but that sounds so it sounds so fun. Once you get to like Shasta, like Northern California, do the scenery just cruising. Like I know, it's like another 300 Some miles or something when you cross the border, but like, but you just feel it. You're just cruising through the trees in the mountains. It was like, oh, everything's green. Like it's, it's so and then when you pull in the Coos Bay, you come over this massive like, suspension bridge thing. I like it and you're just like, we made it did it's the best feeling ever. It's right there. You're just like, there it is. I'm here done. Yeah. Super, super cool. Dude, that's so cool. Dude. There's been a bunch of people that keep asking about you. Yeah, well, yeah, that that ain't gonna happen. anybody was wondering if I was getting a Canon M. So I'll tell you why. So I like being low in my car like the you know, there's pros and cons to razors and cams. I've driven them both. Polaris is a great car. I love them. It's just not my driving style. I feel like I'm up too high and too tall on the car. And it feels uncomfortable. For me. I like being low in the car because I drive most of the time really fast in the desert. So that feels a lot safer and manageable in my car as opposed to a player's so like a pull up players. Way easier to drive in the dunes that it can 100% So like they'd have the pros and cons but I really liked the cam platform and I'm excited to see what they answer to as far as what the Pro are came out with and the pro ours bad. I drove one monkey hammers. It was insane. I was stoked. Yeah. Yeah, it'd be it'd be cool to see Billy get his done to. Billy, was there something else that you wanted to talk about before? We Yeah, we're already going on our now. So I want to let you guys get back to work. I know you guys have. No, I just I mean, I think I think I'm good at it. Hey, if for some reason I don't make it to UTV takeover. It's 100% on me because guess what, I had a perfectly brand new car with 100 miles on it, that I decided to do this too. So people are like, Are you sure you want to do that? I'm like, yeah. And they're like, You can't do it in time. And I'm like, challenge accepted. I'll take your challenge. I shouldn't bet people $1 I probably at least have 1000 bucks for people that told me I couldn't do it. So do you get the Jesse James tattoo the paps aka my You know Kristen said also graduation. Oh, no. My nephew's graduating and we're actually late for it. But yeah, Happy Happy. Happy Great. Is it Happy graduation? Congratulations on graduating to my nephew Austin. So congratulations graduation but yeah, man, I think you guys are both like Really? Really? How do I say this adventure is for trying to attack builds like you guys are right now man the limited availability of products I mean, I see it all the time once I'm in here at img like three times a week right and so I see it all the time, man so I can't believe that you guys are actually doing this and getting it done. Thanks to both Yeah, thank you. Yep, yeah, and I leaned on a lot of companies for pro our parts that didn't exist so like I said, that's probably the 15 people that will never talk to me again. But I promise I promise I'm gonna do your product right hey, I know somebody that does have inventory just logged on Mason over a zeal savers. So hit him up if you guys need to have any raps on your got shocks and see you know, Mason Mason, nice to meet you. Yeah, so. But yeah, man, I think you guys are really adventurous. I think all this stuff done. But the best part about it is when you guys get to UTV, J comer and these bad boys. And that's what all the hundreds of hours of work leads up to is getting out there with everybody and vibe. It's the people it's you know, it's all of it. So it's all worth it in the end. It's all worth it as soon as soon as the rear door hits the sand. All right, Mark comes out. It's all worth it. Yes. Yep. Dude, yeah, that's the best part. unload the car, right. And you're just like, yeah, sure, buddy. Awesome, man. Well, dude, thanks for having me on, man. I appreciate I think you guys said. Oh, there you go.

I think this car can actually be dubbed OCD I'm stoked because you guys are doing both two different projects and I can't wait to see a man. I'm really pumped that you guys wanted to talk to people. Yeah, yeah. Appreciate your time, George. And thank you for facilitating this for me and Brent and Yeah, we'll definitely we'll get you some good content. Once we both get up to Oregon. I'll be up there a couple of days early, probably sitting at my campsite, having a few white claws or something while still finishing the car. But nonetheless, make sure campin make sure it's done. I didn't get there because I'm not bringing any tools to help. trailer full of tools and tools I got it ain't getting fixed. Oh, sweet, so I'll leave my tools at home. Yes. So perfect. Yes. All you got to do is just load up as many white claw Otter Pops or whatever you call it. Yeah. Those are brands I drink it like a man out of a skinny cannon a skinny koozie your white claw champion. Hey, mate, Mason said cowboy Deluxe best content comes with playing is that true? That was a mint 400 with Joel dirt designed and you know I always make noise on the on the microphone and everything and Joel from dirt design. He gets down to instinct pro gets down, like oh my god, really? It's seriously the best thing you've ever seen. So, yeah, that's it dude. The music industry or the off road industry has like the craziest music dude. Like I've no long but basically like the last month, I've understood that he does what he does. So he says, Hey, Nick farmer from Desert lips. If you go in his playlist, all he listens to is Taylor Swift when he's modeling through the dunes, that's all funny so I was shaking my head because all these were Prerana in Baja, we did like 1000 miles in Baja a couple of weeks ago and like we're going around and like all of these songs keep coming up like Taylor Swift Justin Bieber all these songs and I'm like this everybody liked this and everybody's like dancin like having a good time. I'm like, What the heck is wrong with me? Because I listen to punk rock. I'm like, I don't know what like watch and learn watch and learn. He's so he's in the backseat. This is uncomfortable guys. This is like George. Alright boys, hey. Me. So there's this, YouTube, like a lot of like dance. I like everything. I like I like listening to country. I listened to some punk rock and metal when I'm driving. That's about the only time I can listen to that. Otherwise I lose my mind. But I don't know like, EDM, like, remix like mashups like this new DJ right now. Sick kick, dude, you're just crushing these remixes? Like I can't get enough of them. Like literally, it sounds like a club in my garage while I'm Rachel Oh my gosh, doo doo doo doo from like dude helps you get that stuff done faster but I can only imagine if it like you get a song that just gets you I just walk away and I'm like, I should go eat or something. My blood sugar's low. Calm down. Reset. Yeah, but that is that is a good that is that's what you make is that you know like the music sets the tone you know when we're when you're we're building these cars. I'm the same Yeah, my neighbors probably hate me. My stereo is always on, blaring. It's just like setting the setting the mood and setting the the pace for the evening of work. And then sometimes you look down you're like it's one o'clock in the morning and I have to get up in the morning. Oh, do I get a text? I get a text Well, that's my wife around nine like hey, you should probably turn the music off because of the neighbors but that's what I was gonna kind of lean on was like you have all this music playing in the garage right? But then when you get out there it's totally different. No, you're done. It's funny because like the like the last two months coming up to this event. I'm already thinking about songs that I want to play in my car while I'm while I'm running stuff. So I already have almost the whole time I'm like that I'm adding to the playlist that I'm adding to the playlist that way when I get there I just hit the Coos Bay and let it go. Yeah, nice. One got on my 10 songs and if I don't like a song I hit next so it's kind of like a crapshoot. You never know what you're gonna get. I you might get inside Then you might get something weird and then you get some like 80s rock song and then it goes to like a hard rap song and then a really hard like, like, like EDM song and people are like, What is going on with your stereo dude just pick a genre and stick with it. I'm like no, yeah, that's mine. That's sometimes you can get yourself in trouble too because if a song comes on and you're like, Whoa, I just played those I'm like, Oh, that's my daughter She added that one so that'd be funny. He come out to like the night faster whatever. Oh my god. I can just see somebody saying now that I said that. Now I know what I'm gonna download actually a little audio file slathered on your USB plug on your Rockford system. You know, what's gonna happen is you're gonna pass out from white cloths, and I'm gonna go link up to your stereo. So when we go on rides, I can turn your stereo on and just play my music. You'd be like hey, hey, no. Watch, watch. You see Kristen in the in the passenger seat. She's going on here. Yeah. Next dog. These aren't like songs. I don't understand. My wife will be turning back. Alright. Thank you. That's so funny. Alright boys. Well, hey, keep going. Do you guys build? And yeah, man. I can't wait to see them at the end of the day or at least take over thanks.
