- We got Ken on the table today, dude. - Not gonna be able to just kind of hide back there now, Ken. - Not gonna be behind just an absolute wall of equipment. - You have said that, you do feel like you're out. - Better be on your A game. - Yeah, I'm excited, dude. Get that Ben guy out of here. We just took a flight to Detroit, lovely city. God.

Yeah, we went actually past 8 Mile where Eminem grew up. Really? Yeah, it's like a road. It's like driving across university. It's like 8 Mile Road. The craziest part was that we had $75,000 in cash. In a backpack. It was

it's just me ryan and ben in a rental car that is a tough place to be a lot of money you know basically everywhere we walked i just kept it on me because i don't know if the car was gonna get broken into or yeah you put the backpack like forwards no i just walked around normal just with the backpack luckily we don't look like high rollers or anything not that we are but we didn't look like we'd have 75 000 cash on us i would not have left in the car either so anyways yeah that was that was interesting seeing uh did

Detroit City. Nice place though. We had not one bad encounter but we were told not to go certain, you know, you go down the wrong street. Basically, it's like the movies is how the locals that we were hanging with described it. Like if you went down the wrong street, they'll do like the bird call and shit and like,

They'll hold you up and there's been some horrible things that happen to people if they went down the wrong neighborhood, took a wrong turn. I got to imagine it's probably more if you're not supposed to be in that neighborhood. I have a hard time believing like granny and granny.

Grammy and grandpa could take a wrong turn. And they're like, nice. They're driving a 2011 Buick. Like let's hold them up. Yeah. Yeah. It's true. But I mean, apparently the cops don't even go to those neighborhoods, but it was interesting because we go past the Ford factory. It was massive.

Massive. Massive. I bet. Like, I can't even describe how big it was. And then there's all these abandoned houses, like, everywhere. It was just really interesting. It was such a strange city. And then, like, we couldn't find food half the time. It was just a lot of houses. Do you guys ever, like, look on Zillow, see how much those houses cost? They're, like, nothing. I looked on Zillow, and it was, like, just a couple thousand dollars to, like, a couple hundred dollars. Yeah. So you buy the homes. What people are doing out there is they buy, like,

the whole neighborhood, bulldoze it, build new ones. People come, it's just a repeating cycle. These, then the, you know, houses that are old, they just get abandoned and another guy does it and just repeats like that. But, uh, yeah, it was cool being in, in, uh, motor city, you know, kind of reignited my love for cars.

You lost an eye. No, but you just kind of forget about it when you're in the winter and you're just driving a stock pickup around like myself, which I don't know if you guys saw, but Post Malone made a hat and he had my truck on it. He had my truck. It's actually that famous of a build. Might have to bring it to SEMA. I love it because it's like I look at it and go like, what?

What does that mean? That's just a stock Ford Raptor on it. I thought it was great. Austin Post Malone. Well, the dude understands a good looking truck and I'm not surprised. He's a car guy. But,

Yeah, I've been kind of itching to get the Jeter out, and it made me wonder, Mike, how's your Subaru going, man? It's going good. Kind of forgot you even own that thing. Yeah, it basically is just like, if you guys have ever been to like a bonfire and it gets good, the more wood you put into it, that's how mine is, but with money. Right. Yeah, dude, you're going to have a hell of a fucking Subaru.

No, dude, I actually, I have like a list of the parts I put on it, but like I crashed it, but there was some rust. I was like, yeah, let's fix the rust. Yeah, I mean, once you start, where do you stop? You know, blew out like two of the coilovers. So I got like KWs. So if you guys know about that, like the best ones. And then I'm like having the fender flares like blended into the body. God. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's how deep into this thing are you?

Balls. So you bought this vehicle for $10,000, I remember. $10,000. Which is a good deal. It was a fantastic deal. Yeah. But then how much do you think you have in it now? You got to have four Subarus. You could have bought the car four times over. Yeah, I got $16,000 into the STI swap among a few other carbon fiber parts. Which was what, like two years ago? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

And then probably another like 20K into it now. So almost five times over. But it's going to be a hell of a Subaru. Yeah, yeah. It's a rare one though. It's one of the most rare Subarus in my opinion. I'm so excited. Yeah, like new control arms, new hubs, new headlights, new taillights. Yeah, repainted. I was going to ask if you repainted it. That's awesome. Carbon fiber, front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser, front splitter.

new intercooler. Jesus, the whole everything. Everything. New timing belt, new timing belt cover, new, I want equal length exhaust, which, you know, kind of defeats the whole Subaru rumble, but makes it sound more race car. So let's just, yeah.

I got some help from some sponsors and making some money on Snapchat now. So that's helping. Spam and Snapchat. Yeah. No, it's, it's going to be like, like I said, I'm going to give it to my kids, but like now you could list it for sale. 60 grand, 2002 Subaru. Yeah. It probably, as it sits, once it's done is maybe worth 25.

Yeah, it's like one of those guys be like over 50K invested and they got the poor thing listed for like 18 grand. That's tough. That's tough. But I had it twisted. I thought for some reason your neighbor was doing it in his garage. What?

And then like, I was like, oh, that's good. He found like a guy, you know, kind of just to just get her, get her back on the road. And then I started hearing about all this stuff you're doing to it. I'm like, oh, this is quite the neighborhood project. Yeah. Yeah. But no, it's my neighbor. He works at a fab, uh, uh, restoration shop. This is him and like his boss.

Corey. Shout out Corey's Customs. Also, he is still working on it. Yeah, but it is interesting. There's so many things that I probably could have got away with not doing and just doing myself. I could put the intercooler on myself. However, it's in the shop and it's like they're just working on it. They have the whole thing torn apart. Yeah, so it's like there is something worth. There's so many parts I've always wanted on the car that I got to take a random Wednesday night off.

all night to put it on just to get the intercooler on. So just have the professionals do it. It is. I'm planning on putting some parts on the Evo. I just had them for years that I just have sitting in a box. Now that we got the saying it's fun to do. Yeah, it's fun putting it on when you're just doing it by yourself though. Like you're not even like doing it for a video because you don't have like this pressure of like,

Like you got everyone here. You got a camera guy and you're like, I feel like bad. You know, you want to go, you can kind of just chill and do it. Especially when you got a two post lift. That's a luxury. Yeah. I think it's fun when you want to do it. Yeah. Like it, like putting the lights in my truck when I want to do it, it was really fun, but then I kind of got sick of it. And then it was like the worst thing ever. I was like, I just want this over with. Yeah, exactly. Or you don't have time, but, uh, isn't it weird thinking so?

Everything's kind of going electric when it comes to modifying the cars. You can't really buy parts. You just make them lighter. Just visually. Yeah, visually or obviously with the chassis or suspension. But in terms of increasing power, you just reflash it basically. It's all software. Yeah, but that's not that exciting. Can you unlock your Tesla to make it faster? No.

As far as I know, if you do anything to the software or the parts, you just brick it. Really? It just becomes nothing. Can they bring it back? I'd assume if you bring it to a Tesla person, they can probably fix it. But what are you going to do? You have to swap out a computer? Elon's got that shit on lock. Honestly, though, I don't look at the Teslas and be like, I wish they made noise. No offense to the Tesla owners, but they're not like the...

Like, I don't look at it and think, like, that's a hot rod. And I think that there's something cool about the Cybertruck being so odd. That's definitely the coolest Tesla. I had that rental Kia down in Utah, and it made noise. Like, there's a speaker that made noise when you're driving it, and it was the most annoying thing. I had to, like...

It's just so tough to look cool in an electric car, in my opinion. But, Kent, I still am torn on that. I just find it very hard to believe that you just showed up and they go, hey, this is the car we're giving you an electric Kia. You had to have chosen that. No, it said manager special could be gas or electric. And there was like no...

There's no chance that they just send someone, hey, you're getting an electric vehicle because that would be such a pain for anyone. Which it was running out of battery the whole time. I was looking online and Hertz just does that and it's the shittiest thing ever. Imagine doing that to like my grandpa Ron. I mean, he would be able to do it, but he would be like, I got this.

I got to learn a whole new thing here. Where do I go? Like all this. It goes back to what you just said. Like there's a lot of electric vehicles out there now. So like, I don't know, man, you know, before if they were to put them in a tent, it sucked. And it was the, I sent an email to Hertz. I was like, this is the stupidest thing you can do. Like if you, if,

If somebody wants an electric car, they should specifically say, I want an electric car. But if you're going for like just the cheapest manager special, just give me what you give me. That should not be like electric cars should not be on that. Can I see this email? Ken, it should be a freaking. Can I see this? It was like a response form thing.

I don't know. I'm just not buying it. Hey, how was your rental? Give us your feedback. It's fine that you were like, I'm going to try a new EV out, you know? Yeah, you're going to trade into Tesla and Kia. I just think it's saying a lot that he has owned multiple Teslas and drove an electric car and is now shitting on it. He's saying he does the Kia version. Yeah, it sucks. Dude, I've been saying, because I get a little flack.

For my electric hummer. For sure. Probably deserve it. I forget you even own that thing, dude. That's the thing. No offense. I don't know if you do deserve it, but if you get it. It still happens. You forget you even have the thing. You got to park in the corner of the parking lot and kind of forget. I just hide away. It's just kind of this little brick sitting in the corner, dude. You know why you forget? Seriously, because, yeah, it is. It's sitting in the corner, and when he takes off to drive home,

the TRX home, we know Ryan's going home or leaving. Yeah, because it's freaking loud. And when you leave in the Hummer, we don't know ever because you can't hear it. That's probably a big reason of it. The edit that Dalton made was freaking sick. So whenever I get a bunch of flack on it,

I always go like, oh, I'm not a save the planet electric guy. I just like it because of the power and it's cool. And now I finally come to a conclusion, Stratman and I actually did, that if it came with a supercharged V8 in it, it would be 10,000 times cooler. That would be the coolest car ever. I would want one. If in the front it had a supercharged L.

LS. I've said it for years. I've always thought H2 Hummers were cool. Like, since I was a little kid, which I didn't understand how much they cost back then, but I remember seeing one and sitting in the back of my mom's car going to school, and I was like, my first car is going to be a Hummer. And my mom was like, oh, yeah, I bet. You know, like, yeah, no, they were just badass. Well, you know, I always kind of wanted one, and then when you got yours, I was like, damn, this...

It's too late. It's just too late. They don't work anymore. There are still some absolute cherries out there, and they are asking the appropriate price for them. They want like $60,000, yeah. For like a, let's say a 40,000 mile Hummer H2, $60,000. That's pretty crazy. That's like what it costs new. Which, that was a shit ton of money, dude, back then for a vehicle, but...

I don't know, dude. Inside of your Raptor, that'd be a pretty cool daily rig for you. An H2? Yeah. A mint H2 would kind of suck. I mean, it's just, there's so, there becomes a point where it's like the time has moved on. I drove one. Time has moved on and it's hard going back in time. If you say a mint H2 sucks. Ah,

I'd have to drive it. Ryan's was beat. Yeah, mine was beat. Still had heated seats though. The heat didn't work that well, but. I've been kind of going back and forth on like, you know, is it time to move on from the GTR? But it's literally so perfect. It's got everything. I want to take it out right now, but the

roads are there's one car i mean we've gone over this is one car that you belong in if it's not a gtr and that's an r8 i'll say that bro like r8s are just too like they just rolled the last one off the assembly line it was yellows kind of ugly but yeah they just rolled no it's it's all right it's sick they just rolled the last one off the assembly line and it's just you can just feel like the sadness in the comment section really yeah like you know quite the i just feel like

like when I envision a guy driving an R8, most of the time I feel like it's like a businessman in like a suit. Yeah.

I don't know if I'm... Yeah, you're right. The GT-R is like a punk version of an R8. I just like the fact that it's cheaper. It can beat up on the Lambo, the R8. Be faster than Ben. Yep. That's tough. And I think the R8 is like... The Huracan is kind of the suited version and the R8 is like the tuner version. Really? Yeah. I feel the opposite. I feel like Huracan is typically the more punky.

He does have a point in that people generally, they tune R8s. Like if you're like a tuner. No, it's the same exact as Ben's Lambo. Yeah. And then they, that's what's cool. You can put a, I follow a few companies that, you know, their sheepy race. I can't remember the other one, but they just make, you take the intake manifold off and you just put the supercharger on and flash it. And that is it. And you get like 250 extra horse. Superchargers are cool, but no,

I feel like turbo has just trumped them. I would never even consider a supercharged car. To twin turbo, it's like triple the price of putting that one supercharged on. And also, I've owned three supercharged cars, and a turbo sounds better.

It does. Like, I mean, the supercharger works really well. It's fucking fast. But it just sounds better turbo. I mean, then, because a procharger is still a version of a supercharger since it's belt-driven. But that's what's interesting, too. Like, regular turbo still sounds way better to me than a procharger. Yeah. Like, Jake's Mustang was cool. That's, like, the only experience I've really had with a procharger. But it just sits there and idles. Woo!

Like, kind of just loud. And then when you go, it's just a bunch of air versus turbos. You get that whistling. Pro chargers don't seem to be used very much anymore. I don't know.

I feel like I see him a lot, and I'm like, I almost look, you know, see a Corvette, pro-charge Corvette, bunch of horsepower, 900-something, whatever. And then I'm like, ah, it's pro-charge. It'd be sicker if it was turboed. You see that guy that he was in that Z06 Vette, and, like, the cops have him boxed in? You guys just see that video? Yeah, I did. And then they pushed him, and then he drove off. He escaped. So apparently that guy's got an Instagram account called TheStolenZ06. Yeah.

And he's been in, I believe, Charlotte. I can pull it up here. Have they caught him yet? Was that the black one? Yeah, that was a black one. No plates on it. C8? Yeah, C7. The best. His bio says video game player. And all he posts is just videos of him outrunning the cops and toying with the cops on his Instagram. How do you get away with that? Dang.

I can't imagine he's going to get away with it for long. But still, just the fact that he's able to make multiple posts about it. When you're breaking the law like that, I just don't think. Yeah, there's just no way you can get away with it for that long. Hey, everyone. It's me, Drew Alfalo, host of the Comment Section Show.

Grammarly. Easier said, done. And what's the one guy? There's the one guy that's like in Europe that's super famous. He's like named the Ghost Rider or something. Like he kind of was the first one I've seen. This is like almost 10 years ago. And he would just go out on his motorcycle. A little easier to do in a motorcycle. And a lot easier probably. And just toilet. Yep. Just run from it. That was his content. Wow. When you're on a crotch rocket, it's like...

Not even close. Especially for a cop car. You just escaped. Speaking, I just got my R6, but I won't be doing any of that. That bike is so good looking. Isn't it cool? That is a good find. I had to pay extra for that, actually. I was just going to say, the R6s are going up in value. They are. He got a 2013. No, 2017. 2017. Oh, my bad. $413,000, which is more than you could have bought. You know that a brand new R7, not as cool, is like,

nine five yeah and then like a brand new cbr is like still like 11 12 5 but yeah no i i considered it but i was like i'd rather just have an r6 i feel like we've got this thing going it's got to be an r6 and that's actually a pretty fair price they just have all gone up so um i think uh yeah everyone that watches the channel is gonna be like heck yeah dude you got an r6 i just gotta keep evan off it i was laughing i leave and next thing i know i'll be on the track

He's just what he's used to. He'd just do it like normal. You guys see the reel of a dude? He's like selling an R6 and then he sees like this C-Boys rolling up with editing gear. Yeah, put that in here. That's funny. Yeah, that is funny. Okay, so here going back to the stolen Z06 guy. Here's the video of him supposedly getting caught

What the fuck's this cop doing? So they had him pinned, but then they push him and help him push out of the way. Yeah, you'd think they would just chill. I think this guy moved in the front. I can't really see because he's not on the gas yet. But this guy in the front here is pretty casual. Oh, he does kind of push him out. Yeah, he pushed him out. Oh, he's just gone.

Wow. In front of the Ross dressed for less. And they could have just left him. Yeah. Why didn't they just break the window? He tried, like, kicking it. He did that weak-ass sidekick. Yeah, that was dumb. This guy is a maniac. This is obviously in California. So he's got the GoPro and everything, the 360 GoPro on the back. Hanging off the back. It's always a sick shot.

I mean, in this one, dude, he's in the rain. Is this thing, like, tuned up or what? Is it just a factory Z06? There's been some debates in the comments if it's stock or tuned, but it does shoot flames when he's on the gas. So you would think it'd be. Yeah, it's definitely not stock. Yep, he's getting lit up. What's he going to do, pull over? Probably not. Probably not.

He's cut 89,000 likes on this. Yeah, I mean, he's kind of blowing up. So he stops. He's going to wait until he gets all the way to the door. Smart. Smart moves. Listen to that thing, though. Yeah, he's got a cam. Oh, look. He's just got the street. Yep. See ya. And he's gone. Damn. In the rain. That cop's pretty sketch, dude. But this guy's committed to that life. He's got to do it whether it's rain or snow.

A lot of them don't chase him. I'm sure they're just like, this guy's a hazard. Like, if I start chasing him, he's just going to hurt somebody. It's not worth it. If they're aware of what he does at all, they know that he's not going to quit. They're going to catch him eventually.

I guess I can see why people do it, but that and then where people are weaving, bobbing and weaving through traffic, it's something that I enjoy watching, but I can't get behind because it just seems so dangerous to everybody else. I'm not a fan of the C706s. Pop it up on the screen, picture of them. I used to think they were super cool. I'd rather have a C6. I mean, I'm still with you. I think the C706 is just...

the most gorgeous car really like almost almost ever and no i feel like i've just seen so many of them i just they're just kind of lame it's just so common at this point it's not special you see them everywhere and it's just kind of like but i do feel that way about a regular ca yeah you see them everywhere but like a zl6 c7 obviously if it's a zl1 dude they're they're just they're skyrocketing in

price. Oh yeah. Well ZL1 obviously my grandpa not my grandpa Ron. That's when I fell in love with that car. Yeah. So you had an orange ZL1. Orange. It

It was a manual. So sick. It was, like, basically the last year they ever made manuals, it had this track pack on it. It was insane. He had owned so many Corvettes, he got it at MSRP, and then it was immediately worth, like, pretty much double. I think it was worth double. And, no, I think it was probably worth, like, $200. Anyways, his house... I don't know about at the time, but now... No, yeah. Well, anyways, his house burnt down, and he didn't have insurance on it because it burnt down in the winter. He just...

Wasn't driving in. He was sitting there. He was taking insurance off. Oh, man. Lost all that money. It's just gone. Like, honestly, even I'm sick about it. Yeah. Because it's just, like, it was just gone. That was, like, one of many cars that he lost in that fire, wasn't it? Yeah, he lost one other really expensive car, but it was very unfortunate. And it's interesting how that happens because I remember, like, taking my cars off of

in the winter and insurance agent was like, are you sure? You know, you can leave it on the lowest, whatever. And then if, I don't know if your garage burns down, I'm like, that's not going to happen. Yeah. Take it off. Save me the $50 a month. Nope. I, you got to put storage insurance on it. Yeah. But,

I think after that, that was a pretty good eye opener for us. Yeah. A hundred percent. No, I just like the C6 is cause they're just more core. I feel like, yeah, there's something cool. It's like having like an old Subaru versus a new one. I think the new ones are lame because it's just like, they're so user friendly and, uh, it just doesn't seem like a race car. Whereas like before when you bought like, let's say a 2007 Subaru WRX STI. It's like, yep. It's like you,

you obviously are a car guy because you have to make sacrifices driving that car. You know, it's going to ride stiffer. It's going to be loud. And, you know, whereas in the new ones are just like, so luxury is kind of just,

They put too much technology into it where it dates it immediately in five years. That too. It's also too. They just don't look as cool either. And you see them all over. It used to be hard to get them. I mean, we're always scrolling Facebook Marketplace. Just saw like a 2015 WRX for 10 grand. I'm like, that's what the old ones are going for. Yeah, no one wants those ones. No one wants those.

No one wants those ones. Dude, I still like the 22 plus, the new ones. They came out. They still do have Honda Civic taillights, but now people are modding them. I think they're cool. I still think they're ugly. I'm a Subaru boy. Same. That was my first love.

for cars if i feel like every generation of subaru they just get uglier and uglier and people just like trick themselves into thinking this is a cool looking car but it's always like the last one was better looking and then they come up with another one and the last one was better to be fair they've always been looked at as ugly cars though like i remember reading things like articles on them and they'd always say like they they drive great but

just can't really get used to the looks. Like most guys don't like the looks. I would just say they, they can't do much worse than that. Oh wait, they can't do much worse than the narrow body. Like it, that's truly like no one wants those. Get those for a hell of a deal, but,

You guys see they tore down the Fantasy Factory? What? Yeah. Like the warehouse. The warehouse. And everything in it. Just recently. What? They'd still been all intact. No, it wasn't. It was not. They still had everything in the Fantasy Factory still there? Yeah. That's even crazier than that. I found a YouTube video on it. What? I can get that if the skate park and the offices weren't in there or whatever in the foam pit. I'm pretty sure. I thought they took everything.

everything out because Rob Dyrdek was paying so much and they weren't filming for the show anymore so he obviously stopped and then but then sorry I blacked out it was already seven years ago that they tore it down oh I thought it was two years ago the whole building oh my gosh this is kind of weird who took this video California skate parks

So they just kind of have like a little time lapse of it being taken down. But it's so crazy because in some of these shots, you can see and like remember the sets. The skyline over there and stuff like that. Like, look at that. I'm glad they got to have a little fun, I guess, destroying it. That's what we would have done. Yeah. That's exactly what we would have done. Just throwing hammers through the windows. Gosh, that office was the coolest. It was. But isn't that crazy that...

Like if I was ever in the area, I'd probably pay 10 bucks to tour that. And if I was a skateboarder, I'd probably pay, I'd pay 50 to skate it, skate it. Yeah. I'm surprised they weren't able to make a, some something out of it. But like after us building a shop and, you know, kind of like doing all the things where we're trying to mix a useful space and also having something that looks really cool on camera. This place is nuts. They had a fake tree house in it. Yeah, I know. When I look at that, it makes me like,

Yeah. Yeah.

90, 95. And so we're going to be doing the reveal of it, showing you guys. We need to do that because we're going to be building a new truck the following week. That's why we're doing it when it's 90%. I was kind of like, man, we're doing it already? But no, that makes total sense. Wow, a lot of exciting stuff.

Yeah. I mean, we've been in there. It looks so good. It looks amazing. You guys are going to love it. It's a little bit different than previous than this shop, but it still ties all together. And it's going to be great for making new builds, basically. That's what we kind of tailored it for. And there was a ton of stuff that we wish we could have done here that we got the opportunity to do there. Just better lighting, better tools, better equipment. More offices, all that. It's just way nicer than, honestly, this place.

this shop. Higher ceilings, wider stairs. I know a lot of people are like, are you going to move your office over here? And I was like, no, but I've been asked that so many times and I used to say, oh no, definitely not. Home base here, here, here. Now we're keeping this home base and

And then, and we still are, but whenever I'm over there, I'm like, dang, this is nice. I know all the new guys are getting, getting the better offices. Yeah. No kidding. Yeah. We already got two of them filled up. It's been weird because like the farm has kind of come together behind the scenes. Like when we redid this, we were, they were working over top of us. Literally. Yeah. We're like trying to make the video. We were doing little updates along the way. Yeah. Which was cool. But this one, we were doing it all at once. Yeah.

We were also think too, I just, now you spark my memory on that. We were working around them as well. Like that was a chaotic time. We were like trying to edit while they're cutting stuff. We're trying to build, you know, we're trying to work on stuff and they're like, you know, they're using the table saw and we're like, Hey, we gotta have, you gotta be quiet for 10 minutes so we can film this like portion. Like it was an interesting time. So it was nice to have that separate, uh,

But I'm so excited to have that part of our shop. Like it's just going to be, I was over there. It's so dialed. There's just, there's airlines ran everywhere. All the ventilation, ventilation and stuff like that. All the things that we learned with what we need in this shop are now put into place over there. Yeah. And now that it's done, we've probably already outgrown it. Yeah. Yeah.

Honestly, though, like seeing the Fantasy Factory, I would love to integrate more stuff. But honestly, he just had a way bigger facility. Yeah, it was like our shit is going to be full. Like it's already full. Yeah. You know, and

And it's got to be functional for doing these builds. The price of the build was, we could probably tell it, couldn't we? A little podcast exclusive. I think we've got one. It'll go live. Yeah, it'll go live. So, yeah, it was a $400,000 remodel process. It was insane. We all are surprised. It's just like Mike's Subaru, dude. You start and you're like, wow, we're going to fix this wall. We might as well fix all the walls and everything.

Before you know it, is that even the all-in price? Yes, that's 100%. That's 100% of all-in price. That's the remodel price, yeah. So that's not including what we paid for the building. True. And the land, but yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the boys have been taking some, not even pay cuts. We just haven't been paid for like three months. It took a couple of months. We just haven't been paid for like three months. But that's part of, I mean, we've done that so many times.

so many times though, in this process of operating this company. Yeah. Like, I mean, for the first few years we weren't getting paid at all. Yeah. And, uh, cause everything was, you know, the little bit of money we were making, we were just putting back in and then we started getting paid just a tiny bit. And then, uh,

we had another situation happen where we basically had to basically invest in, and, uh, you know, we had lawsuits and shit and we had, no one was getting paid. So, I mean, this isn't really anything new to us. There's been many times where we've done that, but that's why, I mean, it's just comes with being a business owner. A hundred percent. You gotta, you gotta be willing to ride out some hard times. Like honestly, it's, it's not necessarily as luxurious or, or,

There isn't a lot of luxury to owning and starting a business. No. Like you have to take a lot of hardships, I'd say with it, you know, to actually get it to the point where everyone then thinks it's a big luxury. A hundred percent. But that's why you got to save your money, spend it, you know, wisely. It's just all, it's all part of the planning and the journey. And we all,

look at that and we go damn yeah i mean it's tough but like we're excited to have that space to use we know it's going to help the company in the long run like it's good we've always been willing to invest and we got that double whammy though too because this this bill came right as the same time we had to pay for taxes yeah dude taxes are dumb i mean it was just a real tough tough pill to swallow for us it was a kick in the nuts man that was a kick in the nuts that stresses me out dude taxes have always been

Kind of dumb. But, you know, the more you make, the more you get taxed. And then now that we're kind of moving towards some of those brackets, it's just saddening. Yeah, I thought. It's just a bummer. Damn taxes, dude. That's why I'm moving to Greece. Talked about it before. Moving to Greece. There's lots of places you can go to avoid taxes. Yeah, I'm just going because it's cheap to live there. Okay. Like, I'm kind of trying to live my whole, like, Mamma Mia type dream, you know. I can see it.

With the bay in the background. I'll befriend a couple people with big guts. Honestly, you and Wander would fit in really well out there. I could see you wearing like a striped... Linen shirt. Yeah. Shirt. Dude, and then like out there, I think being fat is still cool. Like I'd get the big Greek belly hanging out and I'm all tanned. I just waddle around. You drink as much beer as you want. Yeah, maybe. Fuck it. I'll get a chain. You would need a chain. I would love to see you in a chain. You would need a chain. I just...

I could see you in a little gold chain, man. Really? Just like a four millimeter, like, you know, very small and just like a little gold one, like a rope chain. I went shopping in the mall of America this week and I just, I just became so acutely aware one of my deteriorating health and two of just how much little swagger I have.

I just was like, damn, there's all these people in the mall and they're buying all this cool stuff and they're all looking cool. You got to get swag. And then I look at me and I'm just like, damn, like, cause there's mirrors everywhere. You're just like constantly in a mirror and it's like me. And then there's really cool looking dude. I think you're being too hard on yourself. Yeah. I mean, I, yeah, the amount of people that I actually think like have swagger is like pretty small. Yeah. There's not a lot. I don't have much. I don't have any swagger at all. In fact,

You want to know how much it costed to be swaggered like this? See this chain? About 50 bucks. Guess how much this chain costed. 70. $45. It was $14. $14 and my girlfriend bought it for me.

wow here's what you can't be a chain that is that cheap and doesn't make your neck itchy and doesn't turn colors it doesn't i just wear it all the time when i was a kid i always wore like it was like those like shaka necklaces it was like in style back then i'd always get it yo i know it i know it wouldn't be smart but i've i thought about like just bringing it back yeah one of those surf necklaces with the shark tooth well i probably know shark tooth because then you're like look at me look at my shark

I went to the Bahamas. I think we're just, maybe we've, we've lost a little bit of touch with style. You know, we're out of the scene. We, we kind of stick to ourselves. We just do our own thing. And now it's like, we got, uh, this young man Dalton who we hired on. He, he does all of our photography and makes like the awesome edits of like the Ram giveaway. And he's, uh, uh,

young 18 year old man who's got a lot of swagger and style he's in touch he was filling me up like he helped us get the suits like he picked out the suits and stuff for us when we went shopping because he was like you got to do this and this like funny make us look you know baller i mean he was telling me about his chains he's got like cartier chains and shit that cost like a thousand bucks i'm like dude this thing was 14 14 what the hell are you doing wearing a thousand dollars yeah how much are we paying you

He had all this to borrow. And I also think the chain is one thing, though. Like, that's like, if you spend $1,400 on, like, any chain, like, you spend $1,400 on chain. But I do agree, like, he's...

Okay, so maybe he'll swag us out. We're gearing up for summer gear, so we're going to make some swim trunks, some shorts. And then Dalton's like, oh, you got to hit the 5.5-inch inseam. I don't even know what that means. It means really short. And I just got done relaying to people we were working with, and I was like, yeah, biggest thing is got to shoot for that 8.

They can't be too short like our audience. And it's just funny. And then he's like, yeah, they got to be 5.5, super short. And I just bought a pair of 5.5s, kind of took your advice. I ain't got the legs for that. If Ken was wearing those things, his balls would be hanging out both sides. Both sides, dude, not even one. Both sides. Yeah, he looks good in them. It's crazy how shorts have gone up in...

in shortness. And I just remember my mom would go to Kohl's and get me a pair of shorts and I'd try them on if they were above. Mom, I can see my shins. I can see my shins. I can't wear these. I remember I bought a pair of shorts. It was when they were still super long and there was an 8-inch inseam and you guys were

roasted me for having that. And then a year later, everyone's having Kate. Kate was ahead of the style. Dude, there was just something about it. I still remember getting after my mom if she bought me a snapback hat. A snapback hat. Why? At one point, because think, remember Rob Dyrdek, Big Black Times? I had a big black hat. It was just fitted. Fitted, fitted, fitted, fitted. If it had a snapback, it was not right. And then I'm like,

What is this hood or what is this sweatshirt without a hood? I ain't wearing that. Crew neck. Like I was against crew necks. I still don't wear those. Yeah, just stuff like that. Yeah, shorts that like showed your knees. I'm like, dude, these are not long enough. But it's funny. It always comes around. Like I guarantee, like our dads wore short shorts like in the 80s. That was short shorts. Now you get to now, they're back to being short. So just keep your shit and hang on to it and then it'll be in style.

Give it another 10 years and they'll be back below the knee. To be fair, though, I don't think our looks have any impact on...

whether people watch our videos or not. No, 100%. I don't do it. It's just like a thing. I just was walking around. I was like, man, I look like such a squid. You know, Ryan, I think that's part of why people love you. I think that's why people love you. We don't have fashion, but yeah, we're doing just fine. I don't remember the last time I actually shopped for clothes or anything in a store. Everything I just buy is online. Well, that's because it takes extra work to do that.

to do that well i just never make it to a store though what do you say in there mike i'm saying ken well we've i was ken usually takes the easiest path to whatever he needs ken what's something you've recently simplified in your life ken's the master of finding the easiest way to get something done or not doing it what's something you've recently simplified that used to be a challenge

That's a great question. I don't even know. It's all automated, man. Yeah, I mean, you got the automated shades. You've got your car drives itself. The lights turn on when you drive into the house. Yeah, but I did that years ago. I mean, he's so automated. Motorized shades are nice. Oh, 100%, dude. I want them. But I'm just saying, like, what's something that has now become...

even more automated in your life. I don't think I've changed a lot in the last, I don't, yeah, like two years. To be honest, I don't think you have either in a good way, like super consistent, just like pretty streamlined. You're so automated. There's nothing left to automate. What's like the hardest thing you've done recently, Ken? Physically.

I mean, moving around boxes of merch. So many boxes. I mean, that's it. Maybe riding that bike. It's an electric bike. It's an electric assisted bike. It was also 10 degrees outside with like a 20 mile an hour north wind and I was in nothing. Tight. Okay. And I think it was a good, you know, start. We're

We're going to get you an actual bicycle, like a cycling road bike, just like Lance Armstrong. You got the outfit. It's fun to do occasionally, but not regularly. I agree, but it could be a little waste of money considering those Himaway bikes we got are electric.

And I would rather doing it. Cause he wants to become the next Lance Armstrong. Didn't Lance Armstrong have a thing with his balls too? Maybe they got small. Cause he had the opposite of what Ken at. Well, actually, Oh, nevermind. Sorry. So not good, but, uh,

Was it him that got called out for doping or something? Yeah. Ken starts doping so he can ride his bike to work. Would be insane. He's just trying to make that easier. He starts physically pedal biking so he starts using steroids to assist him. He's like, how could I make this easier? Starts using steroids. That would be pretty funny. Speaking of just...

Maybe not being cool. Uh-oh. Well, I posted this carousel of pictures on Instagram the other day. And in one of the pictures, it's us in Vegas, me and Gavin. We're having fun, walking, and I'm drinking a Bud Light. Oh, yeah. I was getting a kick out of that. Yeah. I was getting kind of ripped in the comments. Really? It was partially...

Like some people were ripping me. Some people were defending it. And then Mike hops in and starts ripping. He's not even on my side. I didn't rip on you, but yeah, he just said, damn CJ drinking a Bud Light. Didn't know you guys were like that. And I said, don't bring me into this. Cause he said you guys, and then it got a bunch of likes, but,

It is very interesting that you post 10 pictures, and in one of those pictures, it wasn't just you. It's a blurry bottle in the background. Yeah, it was literally a blurry bottle kind of far away, and people just were like going crazy. My question is where do you guys stand on this? I'll let you guys go first. Listen, man, I don't got to tell nobody my favorite beer. Right.

But I think people got to get over that. It was one can. It wasn't a whole thing. I think people should just kind of move on. You know, hold on to it forever. Yeah. I mean, I wasn't drinking it during the time of that. Yeah. But then like...

You know, we were in Vegas and the lady's like, what do you want? And she just had a Bud Light. I was like, I'll just take the Bud Light. Yeah. It tastes great. And I'd drink another one. I didn't like Bud Light to begin with. So my opinion did not change. So you're still not riding with them? I still don't like Bud Light. Oh, yeah. But that's taste related. I just don't like all tastes. And then it also like, it kind of makes me feel weird. I don't know.

I genuinely don't care. I just get such a kick out of it. Like, I'm not like, yeah, I'm not going to make anyone boycott it, and I'm not even boycotting them. I just think it's so funny. But you had a great comment back. You're like, I think they moved past it. I mean, what, are you going to hold on to it forever? They doubled down. It's been around forever, dude. They doubled down on sponsoring Shane Gillis and Post Malone, and I love them. Yeah, exactly. And also, they work with the UFC now, like,

In my opinion, Bud Light's cooler than ever. If they're working with the UFC, like they're the official sponsor, that's a huge deal. If Dana White can move past it, I can too. Yeah, exactly. And I mean, also, I got a lot bigger things to worry about than the type of beer I'm drinking. If it's cold and it's in front of you, go for it. Exactly. And it's in a nice bottle. Eventually, you got to move on. I'm not agreeing with what they did, but.

Yeah. Did you guys see, speaking of the UFC, did you guys see the new Roadhouse movie? Yeah, I watched it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved it. It was filmed very interestingly. Yeah. I thought, like, when I watched it, I was like, this is weird. It seemed like more of a lower budget. Yeah, it was kind of interesting, but it's, like, not low budget. It's not, but I'm sure they put money elsewhere, but...

Getting Conor McGregor and Post Malone in it? Yeah. The plot doesn't go super deep, but Conor McGregor is so funny. The only reason I watched it was because Conor McGregor was in it and honestly Bob Bennery too. That guy's a nutcase, but I honestly like him. I think he's funny. He is an absolute nutcase, but I

Man, if you guys ever want to see someone get ripped in the comments. Yeah, that guy gets ripped. He just keeps getting up every day and going back to it. He just takes the punch. That guy does something stupid every day, but I think that is what makes him so entertaining. Apparently, that movie is a remake of like a 1988 movie. Yeah, it's an old movie. Got to watch that one. I thought Conor McGregor was a pretty good actor, though. I did, too. I saw a bunch of stuff on TikTok, and it was...

you know, like a guy playing the director and then a guy playing Connor, like just loosen up, man. You know, like just, all right, you're going to walk in the scene and look around. And then he like imitates Connor. But I think Connor being over the top is like what made the movie over the top and everything. Exactly. I was like, I was chuckling the whole time. And like Alondra doesn't really know Connor McGregor. She's like, who the fuck is this guy? And I'm like laughing. Cause he just is so outrageous.

Like when he walks in, where the fuck is everybody? Yeah, that's literally probably how he acts in real life. It's so funny. Yeah, it was good. I liked it. I liked it. It's on Amazon Prime for free. Can't beat that. But I did see that they filmed some of it during a UFC fight that we watched.

But in the background of it, like Prime is on the ring and stuff like that. And I was like, crazy. I wonder if Prime had to pay for that. Did you have to pay for advertising that ends up back in the movie? Oh, I don't know. It probably would have been harder for them to unblur it. Because I remember when they filmed that scene, it was at a regular UFC event. Yeah, it was a real UFC event. And they just were like in between fights. And they like played this song and had Jake Gyllenhaal come out. And I think like the crowd was kind of like, what the fuck?

fuck is going on here? They were playing it like it was actual and they did the guy putting Vas greasing him up and he goes in there and it's like this fake fight and they must have had to put the sound effects of people cheering and use different shots from far back in order to make it look real because I remember seeing iPhone footage from people in the crowd. Everyone's just silent like what the fuck is going on because there's these two guys fake fighting in the ring and they made them come out.

not to mention and then like the ref comes and grabs him and he pushes the ref and he comes back and fakes beat him up but like dude it's between two real fights it's not like watching it just like if you were hired to come there and watch the fake fight you go wow this is pretty entertaining but it's between two real fights so you didn't show up to a WWE event yeah you're at an actual you're like what is

going on? The last two I saw really beat the shit out of each other. What is Jake Gyllenhaal doing out here? Air punching this guy. I mean, I get why. And they made it look good in the movie, but it had to be really weird watching it in real life. Dude, I mean, UFC is killing it. Like, they're in everything. 300 this weekend, I think. Jake Gyllenhaal chilling in the hall, waiting for the call to come out for his brawl. Damn, Mike. I don't know. Where did that come from, brother?

That was good. That was good. Oh, that's funny. So I got to reverse back a little bit. So off the topic of Bud Light, Gavin told me the other day that you were going sober, Mike. Yeah, for two weeks. Yeah. Two weeks. No alcohol. No anything else. Just alcohol. Okay. Why? Wow. What was the thought process for that? Yeah, let's hear the story on this. Sydney just didn't think that I could do two weeks and I was like, I think I can. Yeah. And then that's it.

I was like, wow, I know I can. Yeah, obviously. So when did you start? Wednesday. Nice. So you're five days in, four days in, something like that. So you started to think straight?

I think the same. I did, I think it was like 65 days no alcohol in like last fall. Yeah, that's why I was like, I mean, is this even worth talking about? Like Ben's been sober for like six months now. Like it's crazy. It's interesting for people, I think. Like I was just, I was hoping for more of a backstory on it. I think the hardest part of that is just where we are.

And like the surroundings. Like we go to Utah. I wouldn't drink in Utah either because I'd be wanting to drive things and go mountain biking and do all these fun things. But it's really tough here when you wake up. It's 42 degrees, windy and cloudy out this morning. It's like, well, what do you want to do? Oh, let's go bowling. It's like, well, if we're going to go bowling, might as well have a beer. No, that's where it's hardest for me is just like burger and a beer. Yeah. I get that. Just a burger and a soda pop. Dr. Pepper ain't so bad. No.

Lately, I only drink maybe once a week, if that. And I probably won't drink this weekend. Well, maybe I will. I'm going over to hang out with Grandpa Ron after this. Spending the Saturday with him. But oftentimes, nowadays, when I'm drinking, let's say we go out to dinner and I have like three drinks or four drinks. I kind of walk out of there and I'm just like,

that was pointless. Like, I kind of wish I wouldn't have done that. Cause now I got to like rehydrate and like, you know, it's just like, it just was pointless. Like it was just extra calories, just not hitting, hitting like it used to after I've kind of weaned off. Like, you know, Ben has to, I did mine before Ben, but, uh,

No, I just feel better too. I just feel great and dialed. That's how surprised to hear that Ben didn't say. Or Ben said, he's like, you know, I really like don't necessarily feel any better. I think because he was forced to. He was forced to. When you're forced not to, then it's tough. But like for me, I kind of just did it by decision, mostly because I felt like shit. And then you add another thing on top, it makes you feel even worse. Yeah. You know, it just, it makes it pretty easy to do. Yeah.

But yeah, no, I'm pretty happy with it. I just drink caffeine now. God, caffeine is the best. Caffeine's the best. I couldn't kick that. I could not ever kick that. I just love getting a good cup of coffee in the morning. Coffee is like free. I think I could cut out all energy drinks and stuff like that, but a good old cup of coffee, man. There's something comforting about it. That feels like human, you know? Yeah, it's just comforting to me. It is funny. I look forward.

to coffee in the morning. Even at night, I'm like, damn, I would kill for a coffee right now. It's freaking like 8 p.m. I'm like, I can't have a coffee. I gotta wait till morning. Did that last night. I was like, dude, a coffee would be so good right now. And it'd be a horrible decision. Yeah. Every, every night I would say I crave the coffee that I'm going to get in the morning. And I've started, I used to make it at home and then have it on my way to work.

But then now I just started having it here. So then it gets me to work even faster. So instead of like getting to work at nine or whatever, I'll just be like, all right, I'm going to go there and then get my morning started. Ken, can you search up the benefits of caffeine or like the side effects too? Like what's bad? I don't think there are a ton of benefits. Well, obviously it wakes you up. That's a benefit. But I mean, is there health? How about just coffee? One of like the side effects for caffeine is

like increased heart rate, insomnia, headache, anxiety, irritability, high blood pressure, diarrhea, dizziness, frequent urination, tremors, chest pain. It just goes on and on and on. Like it literally just keeps going on and on. And like for me, I've noticed like if I have caffeine, like anything past like 10, 11 o'clock, I just have it at a.m. Oh, I was going to say no shit. I just have like a tough time falling asleep. Like even if it's not right away in the morning, it's like,

It just keeps me up. I don't have any problems with it. In fact, consumption of three to five standard cups of coffee daily has been consistently associated with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases. That's pretty cool. That's a lot of coffee. That's a lot of coffee. Wait, just two to three cups a day? Three to five. Three to five standard cups. That's quite a bit. I normally drink probably two. I'm trying to figure out what... They just said...

It has been led to a bunch of them and then doesn't say any of the positive things. I feel like that's one of those things where they have so many different studies out there contradicting each other based on who's paying for it, where it's just, there's just garbage information all over the place. This one's from Harvard. I feel like there should be some solid evidence, but for how much everyone loves and drinks coffee, there should be some really solid evidence. Yeah.

Yeah, it seems like it'd be a pretty... Or just like, you know, like you would just know in facts. A pretty easy thing to test. That's why it's got to be one of the most popular drinks next to water, I would imagine. Coffee? Water and coffee have got to be the most commonly drank thing. Wouldn't you say? Yeah, one of those corny signs that like you'd hang up in your kitchen. I don't always drink water, but when I do, it's coffee. It doesn't make any sense. But then I'm like, well, coffee kind of is just water. It says less likely to develop... This is...

We are a comedy informational. I saw that on something. We're comedy informative. That's what this podcast is right here. So I don't know. Don't take this. I'm so glad I have like a genre to tell people now. Yeah. So don't take this as biblical, but you could live longer. Could live longer. Yeah. Or you could not. Or you could not. Less likely to have coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and kidney disease. You may process. I love what it says.

May in all of these. May process glucose or sugar better. You're less likely to develop heart failure. You're less likely to develop Parkinson's. Your liver will thank you. It's protective for your liver. Your DNA is stronger. Your odds of getting colon cancer will go down. That's a good one. Your DNA... Yeah, I'm just making my DNA stronger right now. But it seemed like there's some benefits. But I notice it with if I have too much caffeine and we get into...

what would be called a stressful situation, I find that I handle it more poorly because I feel like I'm more reactive. I'm all like juiced up and I don't really realize it, but I am. So I try to watch that. Like if we're going to go out and, and do something that really could take a lot of like hoopla,

Try to not have as much caffeine. When I'm editing, I make sure I don't over-caffeinate because sometimes it's just one of those things where you're like, how can I make this go better? You keep trying to drink more and more caffeine, but then it gets to a point where it's counterproductive because you're just kind of sick. You start making mistakes. It's not good when you stress. And then when I'm trying to gear up, okay, we have to, I don't know, we're going to be out filming for the next eight hours. I'll overload on caffeine thinking it's going to help me, and it doesn't. It stresses you out more. Yeah.

Not even the crash. I think just like the jitters along with the stressful situation makes it worse. Yeah, it just ramps up. It can be poor for you. I got a new favorite drifter.

a new favorite drift driver. Who's that? Looking up to in the scene. He goes by the name of T-Pain. Oh, he's drifting now? He's drifting now? I saw that. At this point, he's just doing side quests. Literally. I kind of couldn't believe my eyes, though. So, like, he's in, like, the FD, like, competition, like, the tournament. Like, the legit one? LZ Games or whatever they're called. Like,

the LZ weekend. I'm not sure what it's called, but he's like side to side. I'm like, that's T pain. So he's actually good. He's yeah. He won his, like, you know, I think they start with like 18 or 30 drivers. No, he was drifting against another drifter and he won. He's a big car guy. Tandem. That's so cool.

I was like, that is amazing. That is so... I did not expect him to be... Well, he has the song with Hurt. Yeah, have you seen his song, dude? It's actually a pretty lit song. You got to be a car guy to really enjoy it. But what's it called? Just let them look it up after because otherwise it'd get copyrighted. Baby Got Brapped?

Yeah, baby got brad. That's what it is. You got to look at all that. It's good. It's actually pretty good. With the drifting, you've done it, Mike. You were struggling at the start because you had a car that was not running. It wasn't operating correctly. Yeah, but I did, and I was just struggling. Okay, so that was my question. So now that your car runs good, and I was watching you, you're drifting good. So much easier. So my question is, if you have the proper car, is drifting that hard?

No. Okay. I feel like I kind of have like came around to noticing that. Like if you actually have a car built for it with an angle kit and all the other stuff, it seems like it's,

It's easier than it looks. I would say just like riding a dirt bike. As in once you have the clutch, once you know how to drive it, you come up to a berm, you point the dirt bike. You don't have to be going super fast. It's not as tricky as it maybe looks. You come up to the jump and you maybe don't feel comfortable, but you know what you have to do. It was the same thing. I know how to swing my wheels out and add gas, turn the wheel, and then that's when I started getting pointers from...

you know, the dudes there that knew what they were doing. They'll explain something to you that you would never figure out on your own. Drifting is just drifting. Whether you're in a front wheel drive Buick in the snow, like it's the, it's the principle of swinging your, your ass and out. I mean, but if you don't have a car built with like an angle kit, basically, basically just an angle kit for actual drifting. Yeah. Like he couldn't link a whole course in his Camaro because right. You know, but it's, yeah, it seems like drifting, the sport of drifting is growing. Like,

It's kind of boring to watch, in my opinion, but I think it's really fun to do, and I've just done a little in the Miata. I thought the same thing. It's like when you're there watching it, it's boring.

It's pretty hard to like get into. You might see one dude that like got super close to the wall and then you're like, yeah. But when you know that you just got to hop in your car and then hop in line to go do that, then it makes it way more exciting. I mean, it lasts longer than just doing a drag run. Definitely better. You can kind of like watch where people were like, okay, this guy initiated at this point. Maybe I can try and take a pointer from that. Yeah.

I think drifting at its simplest level with the right stuff is pretty easy, but, dude, some of those guys aren't. I'm talking linking the course. Like, actually doing the course. Just going around. Linking it. Like, you're drifting this corner. Then you flop and drift it to the other way. And they're staying, like. You're not just doing a little, like, it's a 90-degree turn and you slip it. And they're staying, like, inches away from that wall the whole time. Like, I think that's sick. It's like, and it's like.

again, the difference between like jumping a jump on a dirt bike and just whipping the shit out of it and then like railing a berm. Like it's, it's like a lot of sports. It's easy to get to that 50% level. Like he's doing it. And then to get to the 99% level, a hundred percent agree. You got to work for you. I mean,

When you see the guy going like 80 miles an hour and then rips the e-brake and he's like going backwards into the corner. Like that's just gnarly. That's just gnarly. That's just believe it in yourself. If I do it, I want to get a C6 Corvette. Yeah.

and do it with that. I think that'd be gnarly. Otherwise, I'd probably have to do a 350Z just because that's iconic. But I feel like I can't have two Nissans. Then it's just like, bro, I don't know if I necessarily want to be a Nissan guy. I just like the GTR, and I do like the 350 and 370Z, but if I get another one, it's like, yeah, you just...

He's got a bunch of Nissans. It's just not what I really want to be. A bunch of Japanese cars. I mean, a Japanese is fine, but I just don't want to be a Nissan guy. Dude, a handful of the guys at the track, they weren't even like shitting on my car. They were just like, you know, they're talking about taking the turbo off, making it easier to drive. And they were like, dude, just get it. They call it a missile car. Just get a missile car. Like, just get another 350Z, just like a stock 350Z. And I'm like, bro, I don't think I can handle the flack that I'll get. If I really rolled up with like,

another drift car, people would be like, dude, this guy is losing it. No, I wouldn't. I'd be pumped if you did that, Mike. I love it when you buy stuff. I do too. It's so entertaining, dude. And so then of course, like I'm actually like legit looking. I'm like, well, some of these, you know, if you look from not around here, you can pick up a, you know, five, six, $7,000 for a drift ready three 50 Z pretty cheap. Honestly, I get in the game just daily drive it too. Yeah. Like the one that Jake's, uh,

borrowing from buddy Cody is so beat up so bad bulletproof it literally is bulletproof isn't that the car that like people get passed around or this guy will learn how to drift in it and then it'll get you past the next town bike yeah it's like so everybody gets a ride dented but like the motor and the clutch are just chilling stock clutch really it's crazy wow that's actually pretty impressive but that's what you need just a good beater but also fuck it no I said make yours into a new into the beater dude

That's the thing. I don't want to do that. You're too nice. Since it's chilling at a nice stage, I don't want to do that. That thing's so pretty too. Yeah. They make these Kevlar fenders and doors that you can just fold them up and bend them. And I'm like, that's what

I need. Your shit's all jacked up after Jake, isn't it? Yeah. Dude, and then when he didn't latch your hood and it blew up. Yeah, that was hilarious. Your car is the gift that keeps on giving. One of those situations where like I couldn't really be that mad at him because like all he did, all he did was forget to like latch the one latch and

The hood blows up right after it. But then it destroys my quarter panels and the hood. And the windshield. Yeah, the windshield has a little crack. But then we're at the track and he's like, all right, he starts my car up. Like, we're going to load it up. I'm like, you can just load it. You can just load it, like, if you want, whatever. And I was taking a Snapchat instead of guiding him onto the trailer because, like, the car is not that wide. And then he just, like, he's looking at the left. He's got, like, a foot on the left and he's just screaming.

the wheel. And I'm known for curbing my wheels, but for some reason, all the wheels on my drift car were immaculate, which is just like, it was bound to happen, bound to happen. But then he curbs, like just shaves off the outer ring on the trailer fender. One of those situations where I'm like, I mean, I'm not going to make you buy me a new rim, but I'll just bombed.

Well, I got to go take a leak. It was a good time. I'm going to go take a leak, go hang out with my Grandpa Ron for the day. Yeah, good luck not drinking. Yeah, we might have to have a couple beers. Yeah, might as well. With Grandpa Ron. Yeah, he's watching basketball. He's, you know, just a lot of smarts. So I'm going over there to go do that with him. So anyways. Well, you take it easy on you guys as well, huh? Try not to get into too much trouble. See you next time. Don't let your meat love.

Rusty Clark, an Army and Air Force veteran, needed treatment at a VA hospital. Meet his wife, Juanita. We live above Borgentown, West Virginia. It would take us about seven hours to get here. And I was prepared to sleep on the hospital floor beside of Mr. Clark. But the

Fisher House opened up that door. We had a lovely suite to stay in. We had food to eat. We didn't have to worry about that because the Fisher House, the foundation, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher took care of all that years ago, following their dream to make our reality that we were together and we could be treated here. It's a great blessing.

Meet Rusty. I was in the Army Guard, and then I went into the Air Force, and then I met Juanita. Keeping families together when they need it most. For active-duty military wounded and veterans sick or injured, Fisher Houses make a huge difference. Learn more at FisherHouse.org. That's FisherHouse.org. Because of family's love. It's good medicine.
