Dialed In Podcast: January 2nd, 2026

up with a microphone and everything. So I've got my camera on a camera mount. So let me

know how it's going here. Let me make sure it's working. Make sure the audio levels

are good. I can go adjust the audio levels a little bit if it's too quiet. I could also

bring the mic up a little bit closer. But I want to see here. Oh yeah, this is good.

I can see it. Okay, we're good. Let me pull my chat back up here. Keep my pop out chat.

Alright, happy New Year everyone. I hate one of my least favorite days of the year is New Year's Eve.

Just not a good day for me. Not interested in all that goes with that. So I didn't do anything.

I took the day off yesterday. Wow, I guess I didn't totally take the day off. I finished the

ultimate audio package setup and video at my house yesterday. I planned to wash some cars,

so I owe you guys some washing talks. But I was freaking freezing cold and I just wasn't feeling it.

So everybody says it needs more volume. Let's see here. I think I'll keep the microphone close as

well. If I exit the app though, it'll probably jack me up. Let me see. That's as much volume as I get.

Alright, so I'll keep the microphone closer and that's as much volume as I get. Actually,

I'll take this muffle thing off here because that doesn't really help me anyway. So anyway,

I got a road pod mic and then I got a plug that directly in my phone and then I got the road.

Let me call it cell phone, the MagSafe mount. So now I can sit here at my desk. So what I'm going

to do is I'm going to go from this office to I guess my new desk setup back in the back.

I've got the office at my house and then the garage at my house. So I'll kind of move stuff

around and use the various platforms of various areas of my life to mess with the podcast here.

So I've got some big plans for this year. I got some announcements to make. I'm making

some progress on what I'm planning for next year. I got big plans for Inside the Hex,

the podcast as well, the Obsessed Garage channel gaining some. I'm probably going to chase down

some sponsors and do some sponsorship like mid-roll, post-roll ads on YouTube on the Obsessed

Garage channel. I'm really excited for the Matt Mormon channel, this channel. It's my favorite.

And so the team will manage the Obsessed Garage channel and tell me where to be and what to say.

And the Matt Mormon channel will be, I do what I want when I want to do it. So anyway,

PGS12464 says Matt drove that car 25 miles, put a $25,000 exhaust on it, sold it. You're not

wrong. I took the exhaust off though, so I was able to sell that. Let's see, what did I do?

I sold the whole thing back to Dundon. So he took it back and actually traded me out for the

exhaust for the GT3RS. So that was the Brewster car that I made the thumbnail. I think I'm going

to make my thumbnails until I have somebody making thumbnails for me. I'm going to make

them just all my old cars and just put a goofy little text on there just so it gives me at

least a thumbnail. Dan Pfeiffer, good morning from Minnesota. Minnesota, you guys are in the news,

man. All kinds of chaos going on in Minnesota here with a bunch of fraud and stuff going on. It's

been blanketing my feed. So good luck with that. Let's see, thanks for getting armor in the store,

so I can buy from you. Only one missing is the glass coating. Is that coming soon by chance?

I'm not sure about the glass coating yet. I appreciate buying it from me. Yeah, I got some

more work to do. I really need to wash the Sequoia and I keep saying it. I need to get that thing

fricking done. Let's see, Shark Blue Turbo says, when is the easiest step to use water spot remover?

Can you spray some on and go straight into a maintenance wash? I don't think so. I mean,

I think you need to wash it first because you generally, most water spot removers,

they want you to agitate it or wipe it flat. I mean, I guess you could try and set it up to

where you just spray a bunch on there, but I think part of it is you need to kind of,

I've found that water spot removers, they very rarely work, but I've found that you need to spray

it on, spread it evenly, let it sit, and then I find that the wipe off helps to get the contaminants

off if possible, if it can come off. And then I would rinse afterwards. Or what you could do,

let's say you wash the car, dry the car, and then you want to address the water spots prior to

polishing, maybe just do an eraser, like an isopropyl alcohol, wipe down afterward to kind of get

the product off or a waterless wash like McKee's N914 or Armor Hero or something like that.

Let's say RB Beer Chick says, Hey Matt, love the fitness journey. Love that your fitness journey

is doing well for you. Question for you. Have you tried out Garmin Watch for your fitness journey?

I know you said you have an Apple Watch Ultra. I keep going back and forth and looking at those.

The Garmin Watch feels very Android to me. It just feels, it doesn't look right. It doesn't feel

right. I know that there's a endless debate from runners and adventure athletes and stuff like

that, that say the Garmin is the way to go. I just like how everything connects. I like how I have

it set up. I'm not super analytical when it comes to data for working out. If I get too analytical,

it messes me up. I spend too much time thinking about that instead of thinking about just do the

work. I like the fact that I can kind of track where I'm at. The thing that helps me the most

is the Aura Rings daily calorie calculation. I know it's largely nonsense, but

daily active calories and it's a relative number. Even if it's inaccurate, whether I'm burning more

or less this specific number, if I have a number of say a thousand or 1200 calories active to burn

a day and if I hit that every single day or I don't hit it in a day, it's relative. It just

gives me something to work toward and focus on. Really what I want Strava or Runa to do is just

feed my Aura Ring so I can kind of track what I'm doing for the day. Today I went to CrossFit

and I got my Aura Ring on and I can't show you because my phone's here. I think you guys are

right. I'm going to get a separate phone. I've already got two phones. I guess I'm going to

need to get a third phone for the podcast. The data that I'm pulling from Runa, which then feeds

me the information through Aura Ring is what I find to be most helpful for me.

It's Ryan says, have you allocated some time for an R34? That's my dream.

Not yet. The hierarchy of what I'm working on is I've got a bunch of work to do tonight

on the AR635 so I want to work on that and then on making a phone cannon function.

Then I've got to do the, I'll probably do my GT4 next so I'm going to coat that,

coat the wheels and the PPF. Then probably finish the Evo so we need to bring the Evo in here,

put the wheels on it, tires on it, probably adjust the suspension, realign it. It needs to go up to

get tuned so that the Evo's done and then get the Evo finished and maybe enjoy a little bit.

Oh, I got the headlights, the Evo 9 front bumper, the tail lights, so the JDM headlights and tail

lights to put on the Evo 9 front lip. I got to put that on the thing. So finish the Evo, photograph

the Evo, video the Evo, get it tuned and calibrated and set up and then probably sell it. Use all of

that content to sell the darn thing and then I'll do the GT3RS I think. So I need to pull the PPF,

polish that, send that down to Kevin and then finish the GT3RS and then consider doing an R34.

And if I'm going to do the R34, I'm going to have to sacrifice something.

You know, Ryan's going to have a car here and not too distant future. He got his permit this week.

So, I mean, I guess I technically have a year, so I'll have another car at my house.

So I'm probably, something's going to have to go, at least two because three cars in the back

here really fits the best. So we'll see how it goes. Or maybe I'll put one in storage or something

like that. Ratspeed's garage, it's time to hang that picture. No, this picture is going to go

out in the hallway, but we have to finish the hallway. So maybe I should just hang it on the

hallway for now. On the wall back here is my acoustic treatment that I'm going to do of my GT4RS.

And so they made one and it was a jank city and so they're making me a new one. So hopefully,

hopefully I'll have that in the next couple of weeks so I can finish the look of my,

look and feel of my office here. I'm really digging my office though. I like this place.

Let's see. Yeah, my wife says hang that darn picture behind you. Again, I don't want to put

a hole in the wall because it's not going on the wall there. It's just sitting there and

because it's going to go in the hallway so I can see it outside there. So I'll get that done.

And let's see. AlexR3510 says, do you think the AR635 can and will change OG like Crensla did

in the beginning? It's a game changer product. I think it's triggering a major wave of upgrades

sold out on the OG site. Yeah, I think it has that potential. And that's what I told the AR

folks. I mean, I think this could become the industry standard. And so we were just talking

about this with Tommy and Joe, the engineering team of engineering products. And so we're going

to pull out my dual Crensla out of my house and put a single 635 because I need to do some

long-term testing and calibrating and playing with the thing and making sure that it is what I

want it to be. I think we have more coming hopefully sooner than April, but the original

intent is April. Yeah, it has the potential. And what I'm going to work on tonight is trying

to make the foam cannon work with it. So I've got different orificizes. I'm going to play with

different soap dilutions and figure out what I need to make the darn thing work because it doesn't

work very well with that pressure washer. But yeah, I think it has the potential. I mean,

how many people are really going to do, and you're doing it kind of at your own risk. If you do

dual pressure washers, it's not really designed to do that. You're always going to be better off

of a single pressure washer. And I always see comments like, you don't know what you're doing.

Why don't you just get one big pressure washer? Yeah, I would. But the big boys, there's so many

trade-offs. You get heavy inline pressure. They're real loud. They generally don't have

auto stop start because it's not great for the motor, the electric motor on those things. So

we've got some work to do. And there's real promising some of the stuff I was testing out

with Crensla and then the AR635. There's no reason I don't think to do dual 635s. So I've got some

work to do and do what I do best, which is to figure stuff out and then create a solution that

makes sense. So yeah, Neil White says, Matt, you should have gone into the daycare business,

much more money to be made. Yeah, I was thinking about that. Let's see. Kyle says,

any chance the vacuum hose microfiber covers are coming anytime soon? Yeah, I think they're due in

any day. So we need more of those. We sold out of those pretty quickly. And I think he's getting

them made in China. I mean, you got to get them made where microfiber is either Korea or China.

So we sold a lot more than we anticipated.

DHG Adventures says, hello from California. Excited to be excited for all the growth at OG.

Yeah, we actually had a really good year. We were up, say,

four million year over year, three and a half million, which is awesome.

The question is the profitability is down. So I need to get into the day to get into the numbers.

And so far, it looks so good. My bank account doesn't look very good. So we're trying to figure

that out. But what I'm doing structurally, I changed, I want to think about business more

this year than I did last year, but more specific. And so what I'm doing is taking all of my meeting

structure. I now have COO, controller, VP of marketing. So my three different sort of divisions

of the company are now dialed and set up. I have the right, I think I believe the right people in

place. And so what I'm going to do is on Monday from two to 4pm, I have blocked off my schedule

where I'm thinking about the business, I'll come prepared, they'll come prepared. We have 30 minutes

for the leadership team, 15 minutes to work with operations, 15 minutes to work on finance,

30 minutes to work on, what did I set up on media and the media structure and the scheduling of

that. And then 30 minutes to an hour to work on products. And if I do that, so two, two and a

half hours blocked off every Monday, everybody comes prepared, we were very efficient. Because

what I find is that when I have several different meetings throughout the week, it sort of disrupts

the creative flow. And so what I'm planning on doing, and I'm going to share this on Inside the

Hex, I'm going to pull it into a screen share. But we have the Obsessed Garage channel. Obsessed

Garage channel is garage focused. It's going to showcase all the stuff we do, new products,

detailing, car projects, design. And that channel will be story told, right? So you've seen us sort

of transition on how the story is told on the channel. And we're going to continue that path

where it's garage specific. And then we've extracted out all the other, the traditional,

the old school, Matt Mormon, which I'm calling a lifestyle channel showing all things obsessed

and long format, traditional OG style. And so the Matt Mormon channel will be, what I'm hoping

to do is three videos a week on the Obsessed Garage channel, three videos a week on the Matt

Mormon channel, including the podcast. So the podcast added to that. So we'll do the Dalton

podcast into a weekly episode. And what I'd like to do is have the podcast edited and put up properly

on all the, right now I'm just vomiting it up to the normal podcast platforms. But I hope that

those of you appreciate me, I'm doing it. I'm producing this, I'm sort of pulling the audio

down, formatting the audio, putting it up on Lipson so that it can go to Apple and Spotify and

all the various, you know, RSS feeds. But we need a, we need a thumbnail, we need a description,

we need to, you know, focus on that. And so the Dalton podcast, I want to, I want to get a sponsor

for it as well, or a few sponsors, because what I'm looking to do is I'm looking to make the media

division a, you know, a profit center. So have it pay for itself. That way I can invest heavily

back into it to provide you with, you know, more resources and more, more, you know, more value,

I guess you could say. So the target on the Obsessed Garage channel is get to a million

subscribers. And the target for the Matt Mormon channel is get to 100,000 subscribers. And then

we need to reactivate the OG Shorts channel, which we're going to call the Obsessed Garage How-To

channel. And the How-To channel has 12,000 subscribers. Now the goal would be to get

that to 100,000. The main purpose of the How-To channel is for the really granular detail stuff

that you need if you're purchasing products. And so a lot of those videos will be embedded on the

Obsessed Garage website. But I think it's, you know, when Nick was doing it, a super valuable

resource to show you how to use everything. And so I think it'll probably be me and the team.

But I want to do two videos a week there. So there's three, six, eight videos. And then inside

the hex, what my intention is to hex log once a week, hex cast once a week, and then possibly come

up with some other, you know, video ideas specific to behind the scenes. My goal would be to, you

know, really promote that and talk about it more often. I think we have 1,000 members or so. I'd

like to, you know, triple that. And if I do that and create some consistency, and if we're able to

then support that on social and share with you on all the different channels, what we're doing on

each channel, I think we can, you know, hit these numbers and grow it pretty substantially.

We'll have the OG Instagram handle, the Matt Mormon Instagram handle. I'd like to do five

stories a day and one reel a day on each. The Obsessed Garage Facebook page, what I'd like to

do is take, in order to sort of reach new audiences or to just create more palatable viewership,

but take what we do on the Obsessed Garage and Matt Mormon channel, make it into a five-minute

short form and upload that to Facebook. And the goal would be to double that to 200,000 followers.

And Matt Mormon target 25,000 followers and again, make that more personal and, you know,

target lifestyle and whatever heck I'm doing. And then I haven't fully committed to, but we're

going to fully commit to TikTok and then TikTok Shop. And so that's something we're going to add this

year. The other thing I'd like to do is really engage more on the OG Facebook group and start to

grow it. Again, there's 49,000 people in there. I'd like to get to 75. Same thing with the inside

the hex group. I'd like to double that and then grow the OG marketplace and continue to make that

a valuable resource. So the media portion of the company, I'm hoping to really spend quite a bit

of time this year adding to that, generating some specific revenue just to help reinvest back in,

make it pay for itself. And so, you know, for OG, what I'm looking at doing is I'm going to target,

and this isn't a very good target to have, but I'm not hitting that target currently, is to have a

10% pre-tax profit margin and then long-term, you know, the next year to get to 20% pre-tax profit

margin. So that's going to require, you know, expense management. It's going to require maybe some

margin chasing, you know, try to find a way to increase our volume. And that would be through

having West Coast distribution and then head toward free shipping, which will eat into profits.

And so I'm going to give us time to increase our volume enough to go to that target 20% profit

margin. We're going to have departmental budgets, which like the media department will have its

own budget. The products team will have their own budget. The design team will have their own budget.

From that profit center, each department will have then upside potential and, you know, revenue

sharing bonuses based on performance for each department. And so if we hit our 10% pre-tax margin

as an organization, so I want the whole organization focused on profitability,

and it's the right thing to do, and make the OG really viable, including all the improvements

we're talking of doing, and make it, you know, make it viable. I put sell two cars. This is my

financial vision for the year, sell two cars. So I'm thinking about it. We'll see how that goes.

Then from the marketing and products perspective, all of our products, I want to be bottled in a

entry level bottle, and a press all bottle, and a fancy gallon. I want branded packages,

like a box, say like a car washing package box, so we can wholesale and retail those. And if I'm

bottling it, and we're going to be bottling, you know, car pro and bottling, hopefully griots and

bottling the curated products, then I'll have better margin in order to, you know, one chase

our profitability, but then also be able to wholesale and increase volume as well to, you

know, some people who want to sell my stuff. New buckets, new microfiber, so microfiber 4.0,

the new pressure washer lineup, which will include OG spec max flows on the high and low end,

the, you know, the R635, including the, you know, the FU version, and then a product streamlining.

I'm no longer doing home stuff. I'm focused in on OG design, garage, detailing, you know,

the whole package of that, you know, this year. I sold destination OG. I sold, you know, any

real estate holding I have outside of my own house. I'm going to keep lean, mean, focused,

and really focused on creating, you know, content and making the business. Taking some of the risk

off the table. If I can do that combined with all the fitness work I'm doing, maybe I can drive

a car again someday. And then operations. We want to be ready for West Coast distribution by Gen 1

of 2027. So we're going to be working on that. We have the villages to the showroom inventory and

vendor negotiation. That would be our promising. We're going to buy more stuff because we're,

you know, going East Coast, West Coast and shipping things out to people quicker. I'm going to get the

building painted, finish the OG bullpen for all the employees, finish their new break room,

finish the curated warehouse or go up with the ceiling, do an outdoor wash bay, new photo studio,

and I want a published org chart on the wall. It looks really cool. I want box boxing and

packaging revamped, analyzed for cost and efficiency, and I want every single room

inventory and dialed in in here. That's what I've got thus far. So that meeting that I've

structured, I'm going to share the vision and then have the leadership team focus in on these

things that I'm, you know, looking to accomplish. And then I'll have a calendared structure where I

can, you know, hold them accountable to the vision, you know, or here's where we at in each department

from a vision perspective. So what I'm looking at doing the, I'm hiring two people in media.

I'm hiring probably two people in, in products. So if you are looking for a job,

you, I need a, you know, social media person, cinematography person. And then I need the

couple of products people. So hit me up if you want to come work for OG. And the

products job somewhere, you know, in the 45 to $75,000 range, depending on where you're at in,

you know, in life, the, the media positions, same thing, you know, somewhere in that range.

All of which I think you're going to have, you know, some, some upside and upward mobility.

And that's what we're going to be working on structuring for the entire organization.

What's the upside for people. And if we can chase profitability, and then I share,

you know, a portion of the revenue or the profitability, not the revenue, but the profitability.

If you share revenue, you can go out of business pretty quickly. So anyway,

you didn't ask or, but that's my, that's my 2026 plans. And I think it's going to be fun.

Very, very focused. Let's see where it was. Hello from Daytona Beach. Jesse says, hey, Matt,

your black drying aid label for the Tolco Boat bottle. You got those made or make them in house.

We have them made, but I mean, we designed them in house.

I didn't know if I could order blank. No, we don't have blank labels, only the drying aid.

But we, we probably will have blank labels at some point. We do for the press halls,

but not for the Tolcos. Let's see. Taylor says, hey, Matt, when is the merch and

solo 260 sprayer is going to be on the Canadian website? That's another thing. Canadian website

is done. So I've got to bring it back to the US. I can't focus on it the way I want. So, yeah,

you're going to be, I'm going to figure out some sort of partnership with the Carzillar,

TOC or something like that. That's on our docket to focus on. I should put that on my,

on my list here, you know, Canadian distributor. So we'll put that into

operations, wholesale, we'll call it wholesale, national and international.

So I'm going to be looking for, to have somebody else to distribute it for me. So it won't be

yesterday. Did you ever put together tool packages with all the original tool grid

pieces and diagram of how it should look in a drawer? No, I haven't yet. But yeah,

you'd have to hit up design and then have to just kind of work through it, you know,

one piece at a time with you. Are you going to carry that water spot remover from SEMA?

I think so. It was a nasial water spot remover. I think I might, but I'm kind of in the,

let's get all the products we have supported before I launch a bunch of new stuff. And I think

we're going to move fast. So once I get the team set up, we're going to move pretty fast.

Jet driver says he has the Garmin and loves it. If you've already have, so Joe O'Shea also asked,

if you already have garage cabinets and stuff, but just need some bespoke solutions for tools,

pressure washer, without the whole soup to nuts garage design, what do you suggest or offer?

Yeah, reach out to designandobsessedgarage.com and just tell them what you're looking for and

they can help you with anything. So even if it's just the accessories to kind of outfit your garage,

we can certainly help you with that. I haven't been up to date on everything going on. Are you no

longer selling Milwaukee or Coach Kemi ASC? Yeah. So I'm on this path to like get all the products

we have fully supported, dialed in Milwaukee. They kept cutting margin because I wasn't selling

enough. And so I finally just said, look, I'm out. So I sold off all the Milwaukee stuff.

I also, I love, I want to like Coach Kemi ASC, but I don't ever use it like ever. So I have it.

I have it as one of my spray bottles and I never, ever use it. I would either use eraser,

I would use invisible glass, or I would use, you know, Griot's interior cleaner on the interior.

And so I just never used it. And so I'm like, if I'm not using this, what's the point?

So we got, we pulled it off the store. Let's see. Tony Baroni says,

hey Matt, my Sonic MSS cabinet arrays being delivered Wednesday. I'm psyched. It actually was

ready early in mid-December to my surprise. Yeah, they, they got them in stock and they're shipping

out. So I'm pumped for you, dude. You're going to frickin' love it. Take, send me a picture. I want

to know, Mikey684 says, have you considered also carrying LeaderMax 1.3 for Alcantara?

Or just the 1.1 and 2.0? When and when are the experts expected to arrive to demo the products

like Colourlock did a few years back? I don't think we have a date yet, but I'm thinking probably

first quarter. And I think we'll probably bring over the vast majority of the line. Just, you know,

every time we bring over a new shipment, we'll probably add a product that makes sense.

And then Delictus says, has anyone used LeaderMax on a smooth leather steering wheel?

It feels like it makes my hands clammy. I have and shouldn't. So I'm sure, you know, there's

some product leftover that may need to kind of rub off, but yeah, I haven't experienced that.

Just curious, why not an R35? Because I think it's ugly and the R34 looks cool.

The R34 is like the, I think, the cool car.

TDaz 250 says, do you see Crensla responding with a product to compete with the 635? Yes.

I don't know of anything, but they're going to have to. And I'm excited for it. I want to,

I want them all to make the best, come with their best foot forward. But they are Germans,

it will take them a lot longer. So we'll see how it goes. But I'm going to push for it.

I'm here for it. Maxflow, Crensla, AR, all competing. I love it. And I'm going to,

I'm going to be on the front lines of it.

Have you faint? Dang.

Let's see, has anyone, oh, we did that one. Have you found any favorite towels to use with

Max? Not yet. I have those cozy earth ones that are like 40 bucks a pair, but they're not great.

They're just okay. So I'm working on it. I need to find, if anybody, if anybody finds some great,

we need a great cotton towel, like a really nice one. It doesn't lint a lot. I'm sure you'll have

to wash it quite a few times, but we need a really nice cotton, you know, organic cotton towel.

It's Ryan says, are you still planning to rob the other side of the garage here?

Would you ever bring your tire machines in there to the ultimate garage, or does just take up too

much space? We've been talking about it, I may. Maybe we're talking about doing an indoor wash

bay there and kind of setting that up for dry ice cleaning, indoor washing.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, but I think the tire machines will stay put.

They take up a giant amount of space and they actually work really great in the air conditioning

room. So I'm probably going to just maybe do a little better lighting in the air conditioning room

and leave it be. Let's see if it all says, I've watched at least 15 different AR videos,

and the only one that appeared to have no issues with foam cannon was Pan, not sure what he did.

Yeah, well, whoever's using foam cannon, they don't know what they're freaking doing,

because I haven't solved it yet, and so I'll solve it for everybody, and then they can just copy.

So yeah, the foam cannon doesn't work, so we need to get the foam cannon to work.

I'm not sure, I'm confident we're going to get something to work, but I'm just not sure what

it is. I'm going to actually work on that tonight. I'm here till eight o'clock tonight,

after the podcast I've got another interview to do, and then I'm going to go work on that

specifically. I'm going to shoot a video on the Matt Mormon channel, this channel here.

What is the shelf life for LeaderMax products? I used a lot less than I anticipated,

worked great on my 992 leather. I would assume a long time, assuming you don't have like crazy

heat cycles in your garage, I think years and years. But all, yeah, it was great meeting you

in cars and culture, and shouldn't be too impressed with our headquarters yet. It's still kind of

janky, but someday it's going to be impressive, I hope. I'm excited, but everybody can kind of,

let's see. I want to install, let's see, Mo3N8862 says, I want to install speakers in my ceiling,

with a power node for general music listening. What's the best way to air seal these types

of speakers without impacting sound quality? You really don't have to. I mean, they almost all

have a, generally they'll have a foam ring around them, and then they'll clamp the dry wall.

If you wanted to really seal it up, I mean, you could build a box around it. Generally,

they're designed to work in open air, or what I do is just go up in the attic and just push all

that cotton foam insulation around it, and it's fine. So you're usually okay. You could,

I wouldn't recommend it, because it'd be hard to get a speaker out in the future,

but you could caulk around it too. That is one easy way to do it. Just caulk around the grill.

Let's see. Do you still have the GT3 touring in the thumbnail? No, I traded that touring for my 991.1

RS. What speaker is that at your desk? That is an Evoque 10. So Dynaudio Evoque 10 powered by

a Dynaudio, or I'm sorry, a blue sound power node, and then I usually connect my Mac to it. So the

new power node has more power. It's 100 watts per channel, I believe, and it has USB-C connectivity

so I can connect my laptop to it. The only disadvantage, the volume on your laptop, it

shows that it's changing the volume, but it doesn't adjust the volume. And so you have to use the

volume slider on the device, but way easier in some of the old DACs that I was using to connect

speakers. So those are passive, you know, non-powered speakers, so they're just a regular speaker with

a regular speaker wire input, and then, again, I'm using the power node to power it. And then I have

a sub 18S, so the Dynaudio sub 18S underneath the desk that just kills. It's awesome.

Frank Salvioli says, Happy New Year, Matt, and everyone at OG would love your input on placing a

center channel speaker inside a media cabinet. I have a BDI corridor media console that can

house my Clip504C Series 2 center. Now, you never want to put a center channel in a cabinet if you

have a center channel that has some downside to it, arguably. The BDI has already vented,

right? So they designed it for a center channel. But technically, you would want your center channel

open so it can, you know, whatever, an open air so it can breathe and, you know, and utilize your

walls and everything like it was designed. But oftentimes, you got to make do with what you

got. If you don't want to mount your TV too high, you may want to put the center channel in the

cabinet. So I'm a proponent. I do it often. My current two setups have the center channel on

top of the stand. But generally speaking, I think it's fine to do it. I've done it many times.

Yeah, GT4RS video. Yep, I need to do that. That'll be coming here shortly.

Spencer asked, any chance Matt watched Stranger Things? Yes. And you know what I'm going to say.

The previous have just so stupid, you know, disappointing. I wasn't like a super fan of

the show. I just watched it. It's okay. But yeah, it's just goofy, you know, typical

artists get weird and, but it was fine. Let's see, what are your thoughts on Ultra Fit on your

GT4RS? It's good, really good. I need to go wash the thing and put the darn, you know,

coating on it and finish the darn thing so I can fully assess it. But as of right now,

it looks great. Any update on OG Cosit Solutions? No updates. We're going to hit that ground run in

here very in the next coming weeks. So I would say we have it available for national sales in the

next month and a half or so. That'd be the goal. Any, Shane says, any opinion on Sonos 5s

for a stereo pair in the garage? I already have them in the home and in the Sonos system.

They probably do okay. I mean, Sonos is the new Bose, right? So it's not good. But if you're already

on the ecosystem, you already have the app, it's, you know, it wouldn't be the world's worst thing.

I would probably rather have get the Sonos amp, well, I forget what they call their amp, and then

get, you know, the amp has, you know, speaker level output, and then get a pair of something else

like PSB P5s, you'd get a much better result. So if you wanted to stay on the Sonos architecture,

you'd get a much, much better quality sound out of doing their amplifier with some other pair of

speakers. But I mean, it'd be fine. Better than nothing. Better than some Bluetooth soundbar

bullcrap or a little, you know, little Bluetooth device.

JR says, Carzilla is great. If you could work with them, that would be fantastic.

Will you still carry Coke and tool packages? Yes, that's our next grouping of packages we're going

to work on. This is the year of the tools. Oh yeah, I should probably put that down in my marketing. New

year of the tool. We'll call it. Thanks for the reminder.

Let's see. Happy New Year, Matt. Your plan sounds great. Thanks. We'll see if I can execute.

I think I'm going to be able to execute better than I ever have and that I've

pulled back on Canada, pulled back on Destination OG, pulled back on Home Theater, pulled back on

Home Stuff, changed and restructured how the complexity of how the village's showroom is going

to look. I am laser focused on being the best garage provider in the world and continuing to do that.

Let's see. Matrix2nomad says, You've said before you're against remote jobs. Yep,

it's a waste of time and money. But do you think you'd do something in the future? Nope,

like email or support. Currently traveling the world and want to do a remote job. Huge fan of

OG for years. Yeah, I don't think so. Although, you know, the tech support job, I guess, could be

something remote. But yeah, I don't like it. Yeah, just prepare for the R34 to be old, stinky

and leaky. Well, I would make it brand new and rebuild the whole thing from scratch.

Is there any way to listen to these podcasts audio only? Yes, not live, but yes, it is on Spotify,

you know, the last three weeks I think I put up. I'll put this one up probably tomorrow.

So yeah, it'll be up. Happy New Year, Matt. The right company video turned out great or good.

Yep, I think so too. Here's your great 2026. Same to you. Just signed the lease on a new shop.

Tyler says, Annie is quite excited. Awesome, man. Congrats. Good luck.

Let's see. Oh, yeah. Yo, Kenny R says, I know you listed a few minutes ago what you've got on your

plate. But reminder top of mind about the Swiss tracks floor jack plate. Yep, we just talked

about that. We have two different samples of three different types coming. So yeah, coming soon.

We're doing it. I've been wondering if you've been working more with Carzil and Calgary to get

press all bottles. We're going to work on that here in the first quarter. The occasional detailer

says you liking the road mic more than sure. Well, the shore is a what they call low level

mic, low impedance mic. And so you need some sort of some sort of active gain.

So you need a cloud lifter and then you need a device. This is a USB-C mic. So I'm going to do

squat. I just plug it into my phone with a with an iPhone USB-C cable and I'm done. So all I have is

this plugged into my phone. I have the road app. I can adjust the volume and I don't need any

DACs or dongles or XLR cables or anything like that. And so I've kind of gone to using this

microphone and audibly I'm sure there's a difference. But there's a $200 microphone and this little DS1

stand and I would highly recommend it. I use it for doing zoom calls and stuff like that. It's

T self 777 says Matt with how much I use touchless in my wash routine.

By the time I'm doing a full contact wash, the surface is pretty dirty and I'm typically

reach for carpet reset instead of GSF. How about you? No, I mean, I use both.

I kind of use it like every third time I'll use reset. But yeah, I mean, both are good. I mean,

you probably don't need both, but I just like having both. Greg said Greg Rudman 8168 says,

what do you have in mind for Ryan's first car? We've been talking about that a little bit.

Michelle says absolutely no to BMW. We were talking about like a 335is. They're like 20 grand

now. But do I really want the problems of an N54, you know, and the high pressure fuel pump issues?

Have you ever solved that? I've talked about like a GR86, I think would be cool. I think that's

probably a smarter car to get a lot less power, a lot less problems, a lot simpler, you know,

naturally aspirated. He really doesn't want a manual, but I think I should make him.

So, I mean, I do have the Model 3, so I'm not sure yet. Model 3 is a little bit too much money.

Let's see, what's Spencer Shane? No.

That's something about Stranger Things. Red GT3244 is the OG vacuum cleaner strong enough to work

as a central hose house vacuum. Yes, but I would do the 240 volt version. It just depends on how

many drops you have. It would work for it, but I would do, and I have 140, it's just louder,

but I would do the bigger tank, the bigger version.

Spencer says, on a car related topic, it seems like you go crazy with audio in the garage,

which I understand because there's nothing, but how come you don't go crazy with car audio

in all your vehicles? I do sometimes. My GT3RS has a sound and motion system, has a Mosconi

Pico processor amps. It has Dynaudio three-way separate, so Esotar, Wolfers, Esotec,

Tweeters, all active, all RTA time aligned, so that was, I don't know, 20 grand or so. It has a

it has a down-firing kick panel, like a really sick illusion audio sub,

that single 10-inch subwoofer, and so that system's pretty sick. The Evo, I bought it,

I have the system still sitting there. I've got Dynaudio 12-inch Wolfers. I've got a full

Oddison processor amplifier, Kenwood, excellent head unit to put in, but I've been turning cars

over so much that I haven't been doing stereos as much as I have in the past, but if I was

keeping and if I was driving a lot more, I would be. Let's see, Mikey, will the clean garage carry

the 635FU and leader max? No, no. I know you probably can't talk about it yet, but any knowledge

or guesses about the new Active 3.0 pressure washer? I'm not involved, so I don't know.

Yeah, not sure. Any decent home audio setups, sub 1500 bucks? Yeah, I mean,

depending on what you're trying to do, if you're trying to do stereo or surround sound, but

ELAC, PSB, there's lots of great entry-level solutions that you could head down. Maybe give

you some more clarity and what are you trying to do? Stereo, audio throughout the house,

a surround sound system, it'd be hard to do a surround system.

Michael N says, are you going to hook up with Tommy for the R34? Yeah, Tommy F. Yeah, it will

build it for me for sure. Hello from France. How you doing? So yeah, F. Yeah is the, you know,

he already got me my intake, so I already bought the Nismo intake. I paid 12,000 bucks for that

sucker because it's like a unicorn. He sent me a listing. There's one in Japan he just found for

30,000. So yeah, I got a good deal on it. So I got a Nismo intake box, like the carbon fiber air box

case I do it. But yeah, Tommy would build the engine for me. We would do the, you know, paint

the engine bay. We would do the full build together. Buddy Hume says, oh, Brian says,

why pull out of Canada? You know, I just have to, I have to make a choice. Do I go all in

or do I go all out? And I don't have the bandwidth to go all in. So I'm going to figure out some

simpler resource and get less. Because what I found is that owning it,

sorry about that. I don't know why. It's like stops midstream. That's stupid.

All right, we're back at it. I don't know if my phone's not hot. Everything's working great.

He said, Brian says, why pull out of Canada? We love you up here, man. I appreciate that. And I

like Canada a lot. And I had to make a choice. Do I go all in or do I go all out? And I think that

when we calculate the percentages, I'm actually losing money. I'm actually spending money to

sell the stuff. And I knew that was a potential possibility. And I just don't have the bandwidth

and the resources to go at it as hard as I would need to go in order to make it successful.

So I think I'm going to be better off net net to find a partner and do it that way rather than

to try to own it all. Let's see the occasional detail. I've also transitioned away from studio

monitors, interface, XLR, mic primarily because I'm using three different computers depending on

the time of day between personal work. Same thing here, man. I was setting up all these XLR

setups with all this fancy crap. And I have three setups now core core fives in the back.

I've got this evoke setup here core fives at home. And then I have a single laptop. And then I have

two of these mics one at home and one here and two of the so what I did is I took this DS2 stand.

And I just I basically took this extra arm off of it. So I took this arm and I bought road has a

magnetic mount for the for the camera that I'm using right now. And so that picture there's

like a little, you know, piece here and then the phone just magnet, you know, MagSafe just mounts

to it. And then I can turn it either way. And so right now I have the screen facing me. And

and I can kind of see, you know, see the stream, see the, you know, see the engagement on my phone

to make sure it's working. And then just plug the pod mic into that. It's just way simpler.

It's Ryan says a golf RGTI would be cool for Ryan. I agree, but I don't I don't seem to like it.

So the Broncos $200,000. So he's not driving that.

Um, yeah, I don't want that. I don't want that. That Broncos mine. Yeah, I don't care if I could

drive it or not. It's mine. So I'm doing power bookshelves now with a built-in DAC hardwired

to the main PC and Bluetooth to my mobile devices and work MacBook Pro dynamically switches as well.

Yep. Similar to me. Will the OG vacuum cleaner be available with an EU type plug? I don't think so.

I don't think it's capable. I don't think it'll operate on 50 Hertz.

So Adamo says, Hey, Matt, what road mic? So this is the road pod mic. So it's a USBC pod mic.

And then I have it on the DS one or DS two stand, which I think is pretty sweet.

And then I have the road here. Let me turn this around and I'll show you what's going on here.

So here is the microphone thingy. Right. So what I did is I took the DS two stand.

I took the secondary arm off. I bought the MagSafe. So it's the MagSafe road

piece here. I think this was like 80 bucks or something like that. And so then what I do

is I basically take it like this, turn it whichever way I need.

Right. And so, and then I put my, I'm going to turn my phone around and put it on it like so.

And so if I'm doing, if I was using as a webcam, I would flip it around and use it the other way.

And so that's the setup that I have. And so it's all on road site. And so you get those,

those three things and you got yourself a pretty sick webcam. Because, you know, my phone in continuity

mode works as a great webcam. Now, my system here, this system, I have the studio, the 27 inch

studio monitor. It's a little small for me, but it has the decent, decent camera built in. So I

use that sort of for zoom meetings and stuff. Like you said, so Mozmatic came out with a $350

trash foam cannon and now a $500 one. What did they charge for $200?

No. So Mozmatic launched their foam cannon at SEMA. And I didn't like it. It didn't do very well.

It's not 300, it's a $500 foam cannon. I don't know if somebody's selling for 350, but

it's the same foam cannon, be the same price. I don't know how much it is. I got to find out

what the cost is and I'm going to buy a lot of them. So the cost might come down.

So I'm just assuming it's 500 bucks because that's rough. Jamie said it was somewhere in the

$300 and something cost range, you know, cost to me. So that means it would retail for say

500, 600 bucks. But it didn't foam very well. It didn't, the foaming lance wasn't, wasn't great.

And so the new one, the one, the prototype that I have, no one has, I have the only one that exists.

And the head is 3D printed. And so it foams really well. It doesn't do anything better.

It just does it differently. It has a quick disconnect head. It has, it's all stainless.

It has an interesting new design. It has a different way that it produces foam, you know,

a different way that it functions. They didn't just copy what exists, like all the other Chinese

crap that copies the Italian MTM. And it's bespoke and interesting and low volume production with

high quality materials and it's expensive. And if it's great, then, you know, the Chinese will

knock it off and sell it for 100 bucks later. But it's made in Switzerland, you know, and it's

made out of T304 stainless, a lot of stainless on it. And so it's, it's one of those things where

like, do I want it to exist? Yeah. And is it 500 bucks? Yep. If you're poor and stupid, you can't

get it. So sorry, you don't know what to tell you. Don't be poor. Don't be stupid. Go get after it.

And then you can decide if you want to waste your money, like I'm gonna waste mine or not.

And I mean, it's just pretty, that's just the way I look at things. Like, you know,

I mean, if this microphone was $2,000, maybe I wouldn't buy it because I didn't value it enough.

But if it, you know, was $2,000 versus not existing, I would rather it exist and rather have

the option. And so that's what we're talking about here is do we want it to exist? And that's

what I'm trying to answer. And so I need to use it more to decide if I want it to exist. I think

I think I do. I like the disconnect part of it. I like the cap. I kind of like the bottle. There's

certainly some improvements I'd like to make to it. But, you know, what are we gonna do? It's,

you know, it costs what it costs to make it. And yeah, but yeah, what you're, you're not,

there's no delta between, there really is no old and new. The old is gonna go away,

because the old doesn't freaking work for squad. So that's why I never even made a video of it.

I used it for about 10 seconds. I'm like, this thing sucks. And now he brought me the new one

and we use it. I'm like, oh man, this thing's pretty interesting. So what are you gonna do?

JD Williams picked up a NUSBOM HF7 from you a year ago. Can you explain the safety mechanism?

No mechanical locks went up. I trust, but can you explain? But, but can you explain?

But, but I'd like to explain when asked. So it has a redundant, they call it the HF stands for

hyperflow. So it has a redundant, it's a redundant hydraulic system. So you would have, in order

for the car to descend, you would have to cut two lines. So you'd have to cut essentially both

of the, of the hydraulic lines. And then if you cut both, so if you cut one line,

nothing will happen, you know, because it equalizes. And if you cut both lines, what would happen is

the car wouldn't fall. It would, it would descend at the same speed that it normally does. So yes,

if you're like taking a nap under the car and somebody magically cut both lines, you're screwed.

You know, it's going to eventually come down and crush you. But it's going to descend like,

I don't know, whatever speed it does, it takes, you know, 20 seconds for the car to come down from,

from the top. So you have 30 seconds for it to come down. So yeah, it's, it's, it's redundant

hydraulic system that doesn't require a lock. But technically speaking, if you cut the lines,

I should have gotten some water. It would descend, but slowly in, in a controlled fashion.

Details, matter, mobile detailing, any update on Merca polishers? Nope. None.

Hopefully some updates on the, on the Bosch stuff, but yeah, no updates from Merca.

And let's see, pulling out of Canada is a great decision. I don't like it, but

we're going to figure out how to get all of our stuff there and then some into Canada and

make it awesome. So we'll do it. Let's see. Oh, Jordan, a little more context. Just stereo for

a $1,500 home audio setup, going to pair it with a LG C four, C five. Let's see. If I was doing just

stereo, it was going to stay stereo. I would want to do is pair of floor standing speakers.

Let's see. If I only have 1500 bucks to work with, I might have to go to bookshelves.

You're not going to be able to get a subwoofer. Not yet. You'd have to add that later.

I think I would do PSB P fives. I just like the way those speakers sound. So P fives and get

yourself a speaker stand, like a, you know, like a mono price pair of speaker stands. So

P fives, I think are 600 bucks a pair. And I would do a, I'd really want a power node,

but the power nodes, like what, 1100 bucks. So you would do a power node edge, which would

work with those and work fine. So a power node edge is what's 700 bucks, 800 bucks, and your stands.

And so that's what I would start with. PSB P fives and a power node edge hookup HDMI arc,

and you'd have high res music. It would play down about 50 Hertz. And then your next step

would be to add a subwoofer. And it'll be pretty sweet. And now the new, then if you were able

to step up to the power node, which would put you closer to 1750 or so, 1800 bucks,

the new power node has say amplifier for a center channel. So you can add to it in the future.

Let's see, Matt, which iPhone case do you use? I'm trying to choose between the Apple tech woven

or peak design. I didn't know peak design had one. It's probably pretty sweet if peak design

makes one. I have the Apple silicone, but I think I want to go to the tech woven because

that one's pretty nice. So my, my, I usually replace my case like once every three or four months.

So it's about time. Let's see. I don't think getting out of destination of G was a great decision.

I mean, I finished the project and the model I'd set up is not designed for a traditional

rental. You spent too much money on it. And so it makes more sense to finish the project,

have the, you know, have people borrowing it fund the project and they get to experience it as well.

And I think it was, it was, it was a sound move. You know, I think I probably netted,

you know, I certainly netted significant profitability on that whole project net of,

you know, my sales, because it certainly drove some sales, but, you know, I made, I don't know,

maybe, maybe I netted a couple hundred grand, you know, and now net of taxes about break even

on the project, but I got to do it and it was a lot of fun. Let's see, Rick says,

Happy New Year to you and your family and the OG family just wanted to say thank you for having

discounted OG gift cards. Yeah. Thanks for buying. Appreciate it. Don't be poor and stupid. I'm at

2028. I've been saying don't be poor and stupid for a long time. So it's a unfairness. Now,

you know, I'm, you know, don't, those are two solvable things. So those aren't character traits.

Those are two solvable things that don't have anything to do with you. They have to do with,

or they're not, they're not innate. They are two things that you could solve. You can get,

even if you're not super intelligent or high IQ'd, you can study, you can work, you can don't,

don't be, you don't be stupid. You, other than a small percentage of the population, most people,

you can always work and always improve. And being poor is oftentimes, you know, you have a plight,

you're dealt a certain hand, but there's a decision tree that you could make to improve

that situation. Not saying everybody can go out and make a billion dollars, but you could certainly

don't be, don't act poor, don't act stupid, go out and improve, chase, get a better job, you know,

chase, chase better. What water bottle are you using? This is a global healing glass.

I don't like that it's plastic on the top, but at least it's glass where the liquid sits and it

has a rubber, you know, surround. I bought like a half a dozen of them. It's pretty sweet. It's

got this little cap. And clearly, I don't think about water. I usually just like, if I go fill

this up, I'll just drink it all, but I needed some fricking water here, some choking to death.

Are there any chance to get, press all labels to clean in shiny in the UK? Yes, at some point,

we will. Do you have any idea when the Madness signature edition AR will be available? I'm

not sure yet. We want to get a call set up with them now that everybody's kind of coming back to work.

Shane says, M18 versus LE polisher. M18 is $200 with battery and charger at Home Depot, only crap.

Yeah, I'd still pick the LE, but 200 bucks. That's a pretty sweet deal.

Yeah, I still want the LE though. It's a little better.

Would you consider a Milwaukee 21 millimeter polisher to be good for a beginner?

Yeah, it'd be fine. I'd rather have the 15 though.

Sorry if it's been asked already and I missed it. If I'm waiting until April for the AR635

hot version, but the FU version is close to that. I'd rather wait and buy once and cry once.

Remember, the FU version is not going to be any performance difference.

It's just going to look fricking cooler. And I think it's probably, I mean, it might be double

the price. I don't know what it's going to cost. But AR is usually pretty good with pricing. I mean,

the price of the 635 is pretty sweet. I thought it should have been a lot more, but they were

able to get the pricing pretty awesome. OG franchise, no. Everybody thinks they're obsessed,

but yeah, just leave it at that. Any thoughts or opinion on bio bombs? I don't really know much

about them. It's not something. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Jason just brought me some water here.

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know much about it. Seems like an interesting concept,

but you know, I've got my scent bag, which I freaking love. So I don't really

find that I need anything else. What was the announcement you mentioned at the start of live?

I was just talking about the non-announcement, just me talking through my plan for 2026.

That's what I was mentioning. Will you be making different levels for press all bottles? I have

some for household cleaning supplies. Yes, I'd like to nail that down over the course of the year

as we get our suite fully built. Yes. Thanks. I've been on the search for a good glass bottle.

I'm starting to hate the taste of water out of my Yeti. I don't like water in metal. I like it in glass.

Also, what water have you been drinking? I know you moved from Mountain Valley. I like

Icelandic glacier in glass bottles, but it's so expensive. I went and built my own filter system,

and so I have my activated carbon, so sediment into activated carbon to remove chlorine. I think

it's activated carbon, so chlorine filtration into softening, so sodium, you know, ion exchange or

sodium exchange. Then that goes through a four-stage ECHO RO system into the ECHO hydrogen

generator. Then what I do is I fill up ARK glass bottles. I have four of them, and I just fill those

up, and they're in my refrigerator. So now I don't have to get ice, because I don't have the filter

on my ice system, and so that water is freaking OG spec. Really good.

Carzilla to be the best partner in Canada. Is the OG design center still being considered? Yes.

So I'm meeting with Bryn, my partner on this tomorrow or Tuesday,

to go through our final numbers and lease negotiation. So I should be meeting with the

villages probably next week or the following, and assuming they can meet some of our requests,

then we're going to get after it. I'll talk about it on the next wash and talk of what I'm planning

to do. Will you ever sell your DI system not in the cabinet? I don't know yet. We're probably going

to have to, because the CR doesn't support the new high-flow pressure washers, and we're going to

have pretty much all high-flow pressure washers, and it doesn't work with it. In fact, it says on

the darn website, don't use it with a pressure washer. I'm just using it anyway, because it works,

but it's not going to work. So I'm going to have to figure something out.

Mini motoring 2 says, no more vices in your garage. Yeah, we have the, I think it's back up on

the site. We have the orange vise, and I'm going to put an orange vise in HQ here. So I'm going to

get that set up here shortly. We'll make a video on that, but it should be, if you go to OG,

I've got an orange vise. I think we got some in stock. It's freaking awesome. Yep, it's two grand,

so don't cry. Oh no, it's freaking sold out. So we have more coming. We sold them all out.

We got like 25 of them. Sick. Okay. Yeah, so I hope I have one. Maybe Jason can chime in if we

have more orange vices coming, but just click no to five when available. They're making them

and batches for us. We have to buy like 25 at a time or something like that. Let's see. Where was I?

Um, DI, if I use a DI to fill a 100 gallon tank outside my garage with a cattle trough float valve

keeping it top off. Who's your slot wall provider? It's pro-slat. As far as I can tell, I feel like

they're the best. Any videos scheduled for this weekend? Let me look at the channel.

So I would like to make a few videos this weekend, but we'll see how it goes. I want to do a couple

of wash and talks. Let me switch. I hit 10,000 subscribers on this channel. That's pretty sick.

I'm obsessed garage. Let's go content. Yes, we have coming out. It's not scheduled yet,

but it's the installation of Sonic MSS in the lobby, you know, in the OG lobby here. So

that comes out this weekend. And let's see. Where was I?

Let's couple of questions here. Oh, and then no more pit boss jacks. Yeah, the pit boss jack,

but pit boss is really nice. I highly recommend it. They're a little dainty,

little finicky, but I got some new Sonic jacks that are pretty sick. The AC hydraulic jacks.

I just found myself not using the pit boss because I'd use the AC hydraulic instead.

So I think the new Sonic jacks are going to be on the low end. So we'll see.

I've had a few insurance companies send stolen recovered cars that were pretty abused. And

after steaming and extracting everything, I used Biobomb and it did a really good job. Interesting.

I've always worried about a DI system bottlenecking the Crenslist. So I made

a DI tank that's always full. Yeah. I mean, that's always better.

Orange vices are sick. Mike is the man. I sure hope you pay him handsomely. I do.

The CR spotless pro system is kind of interesting with RO and everything,

but only 2.5 GPM would be incredible if there was something that would work with the 635.

Yeah. Well, the CR spotless pro system didn't do two and a half. They must have updated it or something.

I have to wait on the garage expansion,

and Matthew Dunlop says, so I can't buy a couple of Sonic cabinets just yet.

What would you suggest for a hand tool and maybe a drill storage until then?

Tambor door versus cart.

I'd probably do a cart. Check out the new Sonic MSS cart.

It's pretty sick. It's got three drawers or four drawers. It's got quite a bit of storage.

It's something I would want to have anyway if you had room in your garage.

So check that puppy out. It's pretty interesting.

So I'm going to go play with the AR635. Oh, I'll have that video up.

So I'm going to play with the AR635 and see if I can get the foam cannon figured out or at least

head down the path of what I'm going to need to do to make it work.

And I'm actually going to pull out my dual Crenslaz because I know that works. I know it's great.

And we're going to put in a single AR635 and a single OG high flow wash station here.

So we're going to do that shortly and do that at my house to make sure that I'm

because I think the AR635 is going to change the game.

And so I want to, you know, I want to really dig into that thing.

So I'm going to, that video will be coming here soon.

But yeah, it's going to be a great year. I'm excited.

I'm excited for the year to come. And you know, my goal as always,

my New Year's resolution is to drive a car by the end of the year and

what five years in and I haven't reached that goal. So at least I got some to work toward.

So anyway, thanks for watching and I'll get this up on the podcast platforms.

Shoot, I might be able to do it right now. It takes a little while to process.

So, oh yeah, I am selling, I will sell, we're going to put the new valves in.

I'm going to sell my dual Crenzel setup, but I guess I could ship it.

It was going to be expensive to ship. Let's call it, so that system we will be selling for,

I think, 11 grand new. And so the prototype system will put the new piping and we will put the

fresh valves in it. Let's say

6,000 bucks. Somebody email me if you want my system. So a little less than 50% off.

6,000 bucks shipped. So I'll pay the shipping. Matt at obsessedgarage.com if you want my system.

It'll probably be about a month before we get it swapped. But it's a working prototype

version of the system that will change out the valves and then it'll basically be a production

level system. But I will, you know, I do need to, I guess, I don't want everyone to put it. So I'll

sell that to somebody. So if you're looking for a discount and then you'll kind of be one of our

beta testers as well, give it them feedback. So hit me up. Anyway, thanks for watching. See you next week.
