LIVE
All right, so see if we can get through this podcast and see if everything works here
Internet soon as they'll be working great here today air conditioning is working great friend. We're doing good
Offices. I just did a nice little cleaning in my office this week. So I dusted it vacuumed it. I got a little
Hatter and and a holder for my hoodies when I come in in the winter. So
Things are coming together same thing with my garage in the back working on my cars right now
My s2000's out kind of baking in the Sun right now. I'm gonna get the funk out of it
and I was working on there's a video uploading right now of
hardtop restoration and installation and
for the for the Matt Mormon Channel, we just put up the first video in the series of
Joe Pechette's garage so on obsessed garage channels. So hopefully you guys will check that out and
Lots of cool stuff coming. So we can talk about all my cars and all my plans and you can talk more about what cars come next
I need to take a little time out here because I got a lot of parts and stuff. I gotta buy so
Anyway, let's go to the top here
another s2000 so that photo of the
You know, I'm going back to nostalgia and looking at all my all my nostalgic photos of all my cars
And I had to find some photos of them
You know the mugen exhaust for John and LHT because I told them when we make our custom exhaust
I'd like the same kind of slash cut tip that we have on that I had on the mugen exhaust
And if I can find a mugen exhaust, I might pay the money and get one
But I always loved that look of the AP to mugen set up
And so if we could replicate that it'd be great
And so I went and found some my old Google photos of my AP to s2000 that was mine
That photo is probably from so the thumbnail for this was probably from
2008 2009 something like that and maybe yeah, yeah, probably 80809
070809 is when I had that car. So yeah, that that was mine back in the day
Bob Bourbon says have you ever looked at peptides just curious with all the exercises exercising you do?
No, I mean, I'm certainly familiar. You know BP1 was a BP157
You know some of the other other stuff
I'm just not interested first. I'm not interested in injecting something into myself
I'm not a super huge fan of being a you know a petri disc getting pig
No, I understand that most peptides are sort of naturally occurring in us as humans
But it's just not something I feel the need to get
My inflammation is pretty pretty spot-on. I don't you know non-existent
I'm liking my current eating, you know structure and set up
I'm sort of unlocking and then when I drove play some basketball last night now
I blew up my freaking hamstring
So I just tweaked my hamstrings can come take a couple of days to recover which sucks. I don't want to do that
I don't want to get injured because I've been running and
And and doing my workout straight schedule. This is gonna mess me up for like a whole week
But yeah peptides. I mean that's one could argue that, you know, maybe you wouldn't have a pulled muscle
You can recover quicker, but I don't know just not for me
I'm not saying never but
I'm taking creatine and some basic supplements that I'm deficient in and that's about it
Let's see, no that it's not the red one in black and white that is my old AP to SU thousand
But it was pretty well set up
I don't think I'd really figured out spacers yet at that time. I'm like that thought spacers were probably terrible
So
Anyway, yeah, that's not that's not the same car
Building needs a new roof but Matt needs 12 cars. Yeah, that's true
We can just nurse the roof, you know
I got some advice from the guy who managed the building for like 20 years and he said look Matt
If I were you I would just have a company come out and nurse the roof and have pay him
800 7800 bucks
733 or 4 times a year chase some of the leaks
You know, you can probably scrape together another five to seven years out of that roof and then do it and I'm kind of living
that philosophy
When do you expect to release the OG soap collab with ADS we have to work out a couple of things with it
You know bottling who's bottling it how we're gonna bottle it what bottles is going in labels
So I would guess probably three months from now
So it's incredible man
Man, I don't know what it is, but I think
You know, I've said this a million times, you know, it's not likely to catch lightning in a bottle
It's not kept not likely to like get it right
and so
We've won Bradley approached me and said hey, man, I think I don't want to just make you a soap
I don't I don't know you can ask him you ask him
I think I said I don't think you can but send me some stuff. Let's give it a try
And it'd be kind of fun to play with it, but you know, I don't I'm not super optimistic that we can we can beat GSF
and so
He sent me type a type B type C. It's he pretty okay
pretty reasonable and
Then then type D then type ABC version two
Then type E version one then type E version two then type E version three, which is a backward step
then back to type E version two
and
and then if I picked I didn't know any of the details of them I picked type E and
And sure enough type B is like ten times more expensive to make
Than any other version it has what do you say 31% active ingredients and traditionally they'll have some between 5 and 15 and up
I'll clarify all this. I'm gonna go down there and we're gonna frickin mix the stuff up and show everybody what it is and
And how to do it and why we're doing it and why it might be better
But I don't know it it foams great. It works better in a bucket than many soap. I've ever used
Now we just have to make it smell great and look great
Yeah, so it's not like it's not really lightening in a bottle
It's just putting the most expensive crap into a vat mixing it up
and then the result is what you'd expect when you put the most expensive raw ingredients in a vat and mix it up and
And then you just manage to pH and then you manage to slickness and you manage to you know
how much how much aeration you get and how much foam can be produced and
I guess probably manages that I don't even know how it works, but I'm gonna learn all that
I'm not gonna mess with you and tell you I'm mixing it up in the bathtub
It's it's you just spend a lot of money on the raw materials and turns out it becomes hyper concentrated
Which means we can use a lot less even though it costs 10 times more. I'm using 150 amount of soap. So it ends up
I don't know how that math works out. Maybe it's not 10 times more
Maybe it's two or three times more, but when you're dealing in raw costs, so
You know if it cost, you know, normally cost two or three bucks maybe five bucks to create
You know, so let's say it costs two bucks to make a normal soap with the water and the and the raw ingredients
This one costs somewhere on 14
And so my cost is probably gonna be you know 20 ish 26 7 bucks a gallon something like that
And so if your normal cost is is two bucks and this is 14, okay?
Let's say it's seven times the cost, but it's not seven times the retail of other soaps
So seven times the cost, but if I'm using
Two ounces one ounce in the bucket one ounce in my phone cannon
Where normally I was using five ounces in my bucket five ounces in my foam cannon
So I'm using 150 amount of soap. So even if the soap is, you know, 130 bucks 150 bucks a gallon
Or GSF costs say a hundred for a gallon and a quarter
It's still net net gonna be you know, I'm using 150 amount of soap
And so my per use cost is going to be significantly less retail you you and me as a user
and and performance is pretty incredible and
Man, I'm I don't know. I think we've got it. So we're gonna launch it
Let's see where we had here so a few months
How is your drying aid reacting to powerlock colonite, I think it's doing okay
I'd forgotten how annoying it is especially now that I don't wash my car every single week because now I'm washing my model 3
A couple times a week because I'm driving that every day
But I washed the the e46 so I did drove it around left it outside got the sweating
Did the first wash and then I parked it outside in the sun here again
For the four cars and culture and now it's got you know, a bunch of you know wax sweating marks
I got to wipe it down again and get get to get the colonite sweat sweat marks off of it
Which I've forgotten how annoying that is
Let's see it would be sweet if you got an older Toyota like a third gen forerunner or alexis
LS430 would be cool to see one of those dialed in
You know, I'm gonna only really pursue the cars that I'm like hyper interested in a lot of people went throwing around the idea of NSX
I just never wanted an NSX and I still don't
Know maybe I'll head down that path a gen 1 in a sex, but there's so many more cars. I'd rather have
I I kind of bought the cars that I like and so I'll first want to go back and get all the cars that I like
You know dot one a 91.1 Carrera GTS. I do want to get a Boxster spider
So a 718 Boxer spider
You know and I want to get an EK9 civic
Civic hatch. I want to get an EM1, you know civic again
I want to do some lows and kind of put those back in my garage
Then maybe if I get bored then I go down the the Supra or the NSX or
But maybe I'd run out of space and energy in my life, and I just kind of work with the cars
I like I do want an E36 M3 a Euro spec
I'm there. They actually just put
a
M4 GTS a white one on bring a trailer 8,000 miles, so I don't know we'll see how it goes
But right now I'm kind of kind of good because I didn't tell you this but I bought a I bought a a
Model s that I'm kind of fired up about
Carson says
Or
Is it
I got my Swiss tracks in and had a quick question
What's the best way to cut them to fit around an object in the middle like a pipe protecting the water heater?
What I'd only do if you got something round like that
I would cut the box
Which is very similar in size. I'd cut that piece of cardboard to the shape of a tile
Now let's say you had four tiles that were all descending upon that one piece
Then I would cut sort of four cardboard pieces and I would cut the cardboard with some
with some
Scissors so that it perfectly fit around it and then I would use that as my template and then I take a marker and outline it and
Then either use a jigsaw or just use a razor blade and cut it one rib at a time
But but that's how I do it
I'm glad to see you driving at me, too, buddy me, too. It's freaking great
I'm doing more and more and more driving without fsd
And which means I'm gonna be able to start driving my car cool cars around here soon
By the way, we just had a failed attempt. I know I don't need to do no
I need to get a manual car like in my e46 or something down to Middleton
Ryan
Got in the s2000 and I was teaching him how to drive a manual and he was he did not like it
He was really frustrated now. He did great. He didn't stall it
But he couldn't get out of first gear. He couldn't put the things together to get out of first gear
So but then I showed him doing some donuts. Maybe maybe that'll get him motivated
Let's see Honda bro, Maddie
What do you recommend as an oem plus car radio or car audio? I'm buying whatever you suggest
Haven't let me down yet
So I'm I'm actually just changed my thought process on this and I don't really think about this but all the new
Moscone and Helix and all these new units have a
What aptX higher-end or AAC capable Bluetooth module on board in the processor amp?
and so you get these little class D amplifiers and
What you can do is just get a custom blank plate
So delete the head unit all together and then just use your phone and you just connect via high res Bluetooth
Or if you're really concerned about you know quality you can run a USB C cable up and plug it into your phone
Which is going to be negated by road noise that that that that quality difference
But that's I think the way to go so in my Evo
I bought that that old-school expensive Kenwood KDC X998 or whatever I bought and
What I took the car down to down to ultimate auto and we're just going to delete it and just use the
Use the regular old
Bluetooth and no head unit at all so you either want I think a Moscone Pico or the I forget what model number Helix
Amplifier slow class D super efficient. They're generally like eight channel six eight ten twelve channel amplifiers
They've got a bunch of different versions and you can just connect via as high res Bluetooth as possible
Which is the same we're going to connect any head unit
But it may be slightly better quality and then just eliminate the head unit all together from there
Then you just pick your your speakers
I'm either going to do I'm going to do you know, I'm going to do Dynaudio
So I would do Dynaudio ESO tech like I'm doing in the in the s2000 I'm going to do ESO tech
six inch in the door and one inch tweeter I'll eliminate the little goofy tweeters from behind me and
So no head unit. I'll just get some sort of blank plate solution and do the Helix amplifier
Probably in the what take the little tool cart thingy off
I'll take the spare tire or put it put the amplifier where the spare tire is get rid of the little tool thingy and
I'm good to go and add virtually no weight
Are you still considering the EK9 type R many folks feel that that's even more engaging than the DC2
Yes, I want one. So keep an eye out if you guys find one send it to me
Either all really really nice white one. I really want a yellow one
And I originally wanted white but now I kind of want the yellow one because that's the rare one
But I would take a white one. And so I'm thinking electron blue em1
white DC2 type R
yellow
EK9 and
Then and then red s2000. I think it'd be kind of a cool little skittle setup. So help me
I guess if you're doing white it doesn't count but
Help me find these so I'm on I'm on the prowl for a low-low mile em1
And I'm on the prowl for a as nice as possible EK9
Let's see if it all was here at the
And I wonder what I was doing I was running around somewhere. I got some buckets since I was here closer car than culture
J 60th. Hey Matt, which business KPIs are the biggest impact on your revenue growth right now?
And how do you measure the actions that influence those KPIs? I
Don't give a crap about KPIs. I don't measure any of them. I don't want to know any of them
I want to see my cash flow statement. I want to see my expense report
I want to see my P and L and I want to see it summarized with notes from my team
And I want to see my inventory on hand. I want to see my inventory turns
And I want to see what our plan is to negotiate with our vendors
And then I'm gonna make videos like this and and then that's gonna generate results. So
KPIs are for nerds. I think who are
Running or doing business that they didn't build. That's the way I think of it
And so I think it's pretty rare for you know people that were you know started the business
That have you know the vision for it to even care about that kind of stuff. So, yeah, I'm not I don't mean it's all
I'm sure it's interesting and useful
If you're in a major corporation and you're looking to have something to get a bonus based on but in the real world
I don't give a crap about any of that stuff
And
What's your go-to oh G spec coffee brand for creamy espresso?
I don't drink coffee and you shouldn't either coffee is for losers. So I don't need that crap
I'm just joking
half joking. No, I don't drink coffee. I'm caffeine for me is not I
Don't think it's really an option. I don't need it. I have plenty of energy
And I would argue that when you get on baseline caffeine addiction, which is
Everybody in America every basically everybody in the world and it doesn't do anything for you
You're just maintaining baseline. So my argument was why don't you just get rid of it all together?
I know many people enjoy it, but I enjoy Skittles and Twinkies
But I don't eat those
And I think that most of the justification for coffee being healthy is complete nonsense
So
Yeah, my supplement staples are creatine and EACs. I don't know what EACs are
every
Yeah, I don't know
Have you ever talked about how you and Mike met yeah, we have a podcast
Where we went through all of that
So Lank and semics peptides are a nasal spray solution helps people focus and anxiety relief
I should have specified. Yeah, somebody had sent me that before but
The
I'm gonna make a doc or make it, you know make us a video
Documentary style I'm gonna call it unlocked and I'm gonna explain the process and all I've gone through
to learn about
How to how I've been able to confront and anxiety and I hate to say it
But I think that all of this stuff pretty much every single thing I've done
I
Think I think that the the the ranking of of solutions that help
One would be
Let's see, let's start from the top
Number one is learning how to
Confront panic and anxiousness. That's like the number one thing
So you could have terrible diet terrible health no peptides no solution no ketosis none of this stuff that those are the least
important of the solves the biggest most important thing is
Understanding that you've had your worst panic
You there is no big one coming. They're all the same
and and then understanding that it's a natural
Defense mechanism that can be a little bit heightened or off
And that avoidance
Is not the solution, but neither is full immersion
You need a slow controlled immersion into it in order to make it through it
So that's like the number one most impactful thing that seems to make the most logical sense that I was doing everything
But that and so, you know, Dr. Julian and the tariff program to ERR AP is the thing that helped me solve
The other one was gosh, what is that podcast? I can never remember the name of it and what's not have impacted me enough. I
Said at last disordered
so combination of those two things are the the the biggest and most impactful thing on on on
Anxiety and panic disorder and all of that
To the point that I don't even know if I have obsessed compulsive disorder, you know, I
Probably you know, I have certainly have tendencies. I certainly migrate in that way
Certainly the panic and the passing out comes from obsessing and some form of OCD
But the label doesn't really matter. It's how do you fix it?
So that's the number one thing the number two thing I think is is some sort of SSRI or medication
Not so much naturally occurring all the naturally occurring stuff doesn't do jack
I think it's it's something very specific
That needs to be you need something specific that works for you mine was a velocidone
so a combination of the realization plus the the
Non placebo
effect of me
understanding
That I can get through this understanding that if I get to a three and I have some positive experiences
I can quickly unlock
And so the SSRIs can help with that, but they can also have significant side effects and not something
I'd put that at a distant number two
And then number three is a you know mitochondrial refresh or an autophagy refresh that you obtained from a ketogenic state and
Being fat adapted and that's a pretty distant third
that is just a sort of a
part of partly a for me with the OCD part the obsession part
Is is probably
Largely placebo and that now I'm you know, I'm
Metabolically extremely healthy in comparison to what I was I feel great. I look great performing. Well
Information is is down
And I'm able to sort of be present and enjoy
And so the that's that's sort of a distant third, but the number one thing was the realization combined with
A lot of you know stress reduction and risk reduction and stuff like that
so I don't think that
Selenic and Seminix and and I don't think that certain
Naturally occurring remedies are going to do squat if you can't do the number one thing
Which this is a good question
Which of the recent car purchases excites you the most?
You guys aren't gonna like this and I'm gonna like this at all. I
Think it's the Model S
And I think that's short term
I've been the most excited about it. I've done the most sort of digging and research on it
I'm gonna risk ruining it by doing some aggressive wheels and aggressive
Adro, you know splitters front and rear
But I can always just pull those off
The reason I'm most excited about it is the combination of having a really sporty is sporty as you can get
nimble
Model 3 I'm putting the trailer hitch on that so I can go mountain biking
And that's kind of become my utility vehicle
I'd even considered buying a stupid Cybertruck. It wasn't so darn ugly
Just for mountain biking
And and so if I have the so I have the model s is like my highway missile
I don't know. I've wanted for such a long time ever since I haven't been able to drive ever since like, you know
I got the F10 m5. I wanted to have just a highway missile, you know a car on
21 or 22 some big deep deep dished wheels dark tinted, you know with an aggressive, you know
Front bumper splitter and just like a I got like a estate looking, you know a tough looking car
I I think that the
Portions in the look of the model s is it's my favorite proportion because it's not a fastback like a like a
Taycan or a
Panamera
It's or like a cls Mercedes
You know I do
Like the look of a
of a RS was RS 6 of aunt but they're kind of fat and they certainly don't drive very well
You know because they you know they understeer so much with that with the goofy
You know
All you know all the drive business
But I haven't driven a model s at all. So I bought a model s plaid
I found a 2022 I really wanted 2026, but those are marked up
So we'll deal with that later and I do hope they bring it back
Because they make it's a lot like built the Hamburg where they don't do releases
They just make improvements as improvements went along and so every single batch of cars every single car that were released had had some
Some positive aspects to it. So well into 2024, but I found a 2022 with 1200 miles on it for 65 grand
That was owned by a collector. I talked to him. He has 45 cars
this is now he's done 44 and
I bought it from a dealer for 65 grand and I think that I can rock that for a little while to decide if I like that car
And then I'm putting carbon ceramics on it. I'm putting the the signature wheels on it
They're gonna think look pretty sick
I may have to try a few different wheels to get it right, but I want like flush fit
I want it to be low and I want it to look tough
And I want to be able to just roll around in that thing with super dark tinted windows
We can't see who's in it. I think it's going to be cool
Now it's not going to make the noise and stuff and so once but once I think what will happen once I kind of
Get through and can drive wherever I want whenever I want which I'm I'm confident
I'm going to be able to do then I would rather have like an m5cs and do the same thing with that
So, uh, yeah, I'm most excited about that. I am excited about all of them though
The 1m is going to be fun and cool and interesting
The the e46 I need the exhaust because that thing sounds god awful and I can't even bring myself to drive it right now
So I got to get the suspension
So I need to get these big modification parts on that that's been the most expensive car to get set up
S2000 is going to be 95,000 bucks 100 grand all in the
The e46 once I paint it it's probably going to be 145,000 all in 150,000 all in
The evo is 130k all in
After you know doing all the stuff to it the 1m is going to be relatively
You know economical in comparison somewhere around you know 95 90 to 100 grand for that when I get all the parts on it
And then my kite bar really doesn't need a whole heck of a lot. So
But jose is coming to pick that up next week to paint it. So I'm going to get the painting done on it
But all fun all interesting all really cool. I'm having the literally the best time of my life right now
Getting to getting to like like ryan and I went to walmart. I he drove there and I drove back
It was like two teenagers driving for the first time. It's so fun
man
Let's see last name kumar
That a full two-step correction on my new to me l long beach blue manual ogm 2
Last week encoded it. So nice seeing it now. Then only has 19,000 miles. Nice. I do like the
The that's a n55 m2. I think is it?
Or is that the n54
It must be the n54
I think I like the n55 one the most
All right, where was man, you guys got lots of questions today. I'm only at the top here
Eric diy. Hey matt. Hope hope all was well
Just got an og box to start building my air delivery system in real nice
That's good
I do have a uk distributor only really for the press all bottles. It's clean and shiny
Um, yeah, middle 10 is insane today
Yeah, the the president is literally coming flying into landing in my backyard. It's my backyard
The little lake and they're landing on the you know on the field right there
But it's chaos. I got out of there at 8 a.m. Today and I'm not going back till 10 p.m. Tonight
I'm not going there told michelle and ryan and kate to just go to orlando and get out of dodge
Because you got that it's a it's a freak off you got the trump freaks and then you got the other freaks and they're all there
Um, just being weird and fighting each other. So I don't want any parts of that
Um, let's see
I have a relatively new press all head that atomizes on the pool
But seems to have a jet stream on the release
Uh, any troubleshooting tips for this or do I need a new head?
I don't know. I take the tip off make sure it's cleaned out
I don't see how that's possible because the tip is the thing that creates the atomization
So maybe you just got something clogging the tip
But also so it's a shampoo for the foam and contact portion of the wash
Yeah, yeah, so you put it in your bucket and the foam cannon is the new og
stuff
Did you try the active 3.0? No, it's getting closer. It made it closer to the door
Um, I gotta as soon as I'm done with this podcast. I gotta go test out the new max flow
software update
We're going to launch that I think the guys tell me it's really great where it basically turns off
So, um, we'll see
It's ryan, maybe it's maybe a maddy rant over yum cars posting that he has improved press
About a thousand people sent me that
Yeah, they have that dude has absolutely nothing to do with improving anything about those bottles. It is 100% us
Largely tommy and brice and matias from
From from press all and then gelanda nina from press all allowing me to tell them what to do
The squeeze bottle is mine. You know, it's my freaking idea
You know sitting there on a call with them saying I would like to have a ldpe bottle
and then
The pro series is our bottle 100%
Now I've given up the right to distribute worldwide. They've given me that option. I just can't deliver for them
Um, and so I'm allowing press all press
I'm not allowing but press all and I came to an agreement. Hey
Just ship across the world and we have a side agreement on on that because you know, we created these bottles
I did all the work did all the testing took all the risk
Um, so that's 100% nonsense
I can never
But I don't get mad about that kind of stuff, you know, copy cats copy losers lose. I mean
The that whole crew of people they don't have an original thought
So I it doesn't affect me one way or the other. So I'm not I'm not interested
And it doesn't it doesn't bother me. Um, but yeah, it's my my freaking bottle. We made it
Uh, let's see. Have you had a chance to flog the gd4 arrest? No, no
I'm kind of kind of taking this in in progressive steps here. So and I don't want to get ahead of myself
This is this is like a a renewal for me and that I get to re-experience life again
It's like I'm a a child again
They get it it'd be as if you erased my memory bank of movies
And then I created a a strategy of you know, based on research of what movies I would I would experience first
So you've kind of erased my memory bank of driving
And so I've kind of
Teared this in in risk level and my comfort level and my level of angst around around cars
And so part of the reason you've seen me go s2000
type r civic
Uh, evo those cars mean the least to me
um, and for whatever reason the placebo effect of those cars are
um, the ones that that I feel most comfortable driving
Uh, and I get the least amount of angst their manuals. I've told myself that if I did pass out it would it would stall
um
They're the least impact of you know, if I'd curb something or had to like drive off the road or something like that
So, uh, not that I'm going to do that. But if I did it just seems to be less less of an issue for me
Uh, and then from there then it would go to bmw's
Uh, and then from there it gets to my Porsches. Uh, and so the Porsches are sitting on the lift
It's kind of
Opportuned that my gt3 rs is going to get painted and so that one's kind of out of commission for the time being
Um, but and and my gt4 is sitting there to go to the mountains
Um, I think that I'll probably hopefully unlock my Porsche stuff
Which which is good because I don't want to buy any Porsches right now because they're a lot more expensive
Um, I'm having enjoying buying a bunch of cheap cars cheaper cars
Uh, that have more modifications, which is more fun
Uh, to me
so
I'm kind of re-experiencing
And and through the utilitarianness of the teslas that are up getting me around
Uh, I'm kind of enjoying the progression that I'm going through in this process
Excited for the new soap I use so much in my foam can on the ar635 results have still been not great with a 1.5
Something's up because mine's working great
Matt likes Folgers
Why not get Ryan a newer super m340i to capture the b58?
It's just too fast. I don't want them rocking a super fast car to start
Um is let's see Eric DIY says I think there's a community out there
Maybe not the average ads crowd but an og crowd that'd be willing to pay a premium for an amazing performance soap
Maybe more economical to offer in bulk
The other thing we may be able to do is I don't know. Maybe we could just dilute it
Sell it pre diluted like if somebody didn't want to pay the the big money for it
Maybe we could pre dilute it. So I'm going to work this out and figure it out
Yeah, wait till you see what I plan for my model ass. It's going to be freaking sick. The thing's going to look so tough
Uh, what does your family spend monthly on food? I just actually I know this because I just um, I just ran the numbers
So
Because ryan, kate, michelle are on the go and on the run and because
They all use apple pay and money isn't real to any of them
Um, we were doing somewhere on the order of as a family somewhere around
What was it like 1500 a month on on food?
you know between groceries
And um, and then eating out now that excludes me
I'm
Let's let's let's think about this. So my average snake river farms orders probably 900 bucks
And I probably do that every two months
So i'm 450 bucks a month in stake and i'm probably only
Another 400 bucks a month
and
Just other you know going to the grocery store. I don't eat out very much
So yeah, I'm probably so let's just be fair and say um, I'm
Yeah, we're probably freaking 3000 bucks a month on food
That's that's that's too aggressive
I don't spend 400 bucks a month on me
Because I only eat eggs and butter
And steak and occasional like cheese
So maybe I yeah, maybe I spend
200 bucks. So I'm probably 600 bucks a month
ryan was 900 bucks a month on eating out and then kate and michelle were like or like
So, let's see if I'm if I'm 600
Yeah, so we're probably 2,500 bucks a month if we're 600 bucks a person something like that
They spend more than I do so maybe it is 3,000
Any american muscle cars you ever wished you owned?
zero no
Nope, maybe a gt 350 r
Do you know what year your gto your dad had um, would you ever build a pro touring one?
He had a 1966
And uh, not really. I don't have any interest
We talked about which car I'm enjoying glad to see you're going with gt goods for your s2000 interior
I went with them for mine amazing. Yeah, I'm excited. They've already said they've already about to start my seat covers
The car's outside right now baking in the sun. Hopefully to get rid of some of the funk
Um, and I bought an ozone machine. So I bought a, um
Ozone isn't going to fix it. I don't think but I want to rule it out
Um, they
The guy who I bought it from said that the detail would use an ozone machine
But maybe you had a jank ozone machine. I bought a rainbow 2000 and then I also bought a mighty
extractor so I'm going to get after it here soon
Uh, let's see
I couldn't drive an fsd car because, um
I can but I'm afraid of panicking taking this one step at a time
What was the trigger in your own mind after your coach's help that allowed you to get yourself
Uh, to just get in yourself and drive again start pushing further from home
So here's what happened
Oh, it's a pressure washer scared the crap out of me
So here's what happened. Um, you know, I, uh, ken one of my, you know, customer's friend, um, og follower
He had uh, he had told me a story. Um, or he he mess sent me an email saying hey
Um, he sent or he sent me an email with lesson one from dr. Julian
And um and said look I experienced something similar not the same thing but something similar that I was able to overcome
And um, and this was the thing that did it and so he the very first lesson explained my exact existence
Uh, and then the first lesson one of the homework assignments of the first lesson from dr. Julian was
um to
To um read this book by dr. Clair weeks. So I got that book that night read the lesson got that book
Uh, and then I read the book cover to cover in like one sitting
I called ken next day and I said ken can you like get me in with it with your guy?
And he's like, I don't know and he's kind of semi-retired, but let me talk to him
so he convinced him the doctor to take me on and uh, and then
The biggest I think one of the most impactful things there's two things, but the most impactful thing was
He had me stand up at my desk right here
And I was at like my peak wound up
Peak walls closing in couldn't go to the grocery store couldn't go on a plane
You know because I couldn't get through tsa
just the
How much small the world was coming smaller smaller smaller wasn't driving couldn't drive across the street to the parking lot couldn't drive on my driveway
Um, couldn't um couldn't go to ryan's football games couldn't go to the restaurants
Uh, couldn't couldn't even walk over the bridge that I'd run over or probably a thousand times in middle 10
Uh, just couldn't couldn't couldn't do it couldn't function
and um, and so he got me at my worst
And the business was struggling I was struggling to build the leadership team and
Cash flow wasn't right or inventories jacked up didn't have the right things in place, but I could feel I felt like I was close
And so he had me stand at this desk on like probably session three or four and he's given me all these lessons
And he had me do this breathing exercise where for 90 seconds I had to do this
So breathe in and out like that like basically hyperventilate for 90 seconds
And I had to stand up move the chair out of the way
And then I had to deal with the lightheadedness
So to just feel what that felt like
And not run away from it
And then I practiced that and I did that, you know a few times
But I really only needed to do it once once I felt the sensation and I was able to confront it not run from it
It sort of unlocked something
So then I started driving around um a little bit around middle and I made it to the end of the street
I started to practice a little bit of full self-driving because full self-driving wasn't helping me at all because you know, I didn't know
The having it wasn't anything to do with the driving and do with me
And so then the you know about probably six weeks ago now
He had me
Get in my car so we booked a double session
I was you know doing sessions on zoom with them and the and halfway through the session he says
What would we do this?
Let's switch over to FaceTime
And why don't you just you know hold me on your phone go show me one of your cars
I went and showed him my m3 and
And then um and he said why don't we get in it?
So I got in and then I started to get the rush. Oh, no, this is what he's going to make me do is going to make me drive
And and I have this immense feeling of obligation. I feel obligated to all of you
I feel obligated to everybody on the road obligated to everybody around me. I'm so worried about inconveniencing being in the way
Shoot when I'm shooting I shot a couple of airballs last night playing basketball. I feel obligated to the team
To to not be in the way
And so, um, I'm feel obligated to him and he's going like oh shoot. He's going to make me drive
It was very good at sort of disclaiming and not having me, you know, feel like I needed to do it
I could do it, but I didn't need to do it
And so it's like well just just started and then I drove around the parking lot a couple times
Then I sat here and told the story a couple times and I went up to I couldn't even get up to the stop sign to pull out
And really I wanted to just get to the parking lot next door, which is 100 yards to the right
And so I did that I got was able to do it after 30 minutes of freaking out
And then that unlocked me
And then I took several steps to to to unlock so it was that breathing thing
Where I felt lightheaded and I was able to kind of work within it
And and then that first drive and then from there just
Steps further and further
Thoughts on focal, I don't like focal. I don't like the way it sounds. I think it sounds thin bright
Lacking
I just don't like focal at all. It doesn't work for me focal is great for most male hearing because most men have
Are sort of tone or deaf to higher frequencies for whatever reason. I'm very sensitive to it
Um, and so it's probably my female tendencies or something, but um, I don't
I'm not a focal fan at all
So I explain that mental block
Hey manny, can you make og military tribute t-shirts and hats and military green?
We have
Green hats and shirts. I don't like to um
I don't know
Maybe it would be kind of cool. I think it would be cool, but I just don't like to um, I don't have any military ties
I didn't I didn't serve
So I don't want to I don't just feels again me being feeling obligated here
I don't want to feel like i'm profiting. I guess I could always donate the money or something
But maybe that's not a bad idea
Maybe we could pick a charity and I could make some shirts and donate the profits from it or something like that
Uh
Finney abraham 2382 were you always good at remembering anything you see or read?
Uh, listening you call out model numbers of the head unit for an evo is credible
um
I guess
sometimes
Sometimes it's hard like if i'm not on camera and i'm not sort of on the spot
I can always remember, you know model numbers, but sometimes you see me fumbling because there's a lot spinning around
There's a lot of model numbers and a lot of things to remember and so
You know people bust my chops all the time and I can't remember something that I should
um
But but yeah, generally your recall has been one of my strong suits, especially in something i'm interested in
Uh, and uh, I don't know. It's just it's it's part of the reason why I able to stand in front of the camera and talk for so long
Because most of the information is at the tip of my tongue
Uh, and so I've yeah, but yeah, it's not something I've worked on. It's just something I was born with
Uh, let's see
How's it been working with chris, which chris are we talking about here? I got a bunch of chrises
Any talking about chris corberry?
Uh, let's see
All the chrises great
Hey matt, what is the progression of things to upgrade in the house lighting first your organization?
That's a good question. What progression in the house garage first, of course
Especially if you have a functional house you do the garage first
Then um
Lighting
Then
I want to have everything at least the first round of organization
So cleaning supplies organization have that all you know put things in in its place
So when you move in just put it somewhere in a general vicinity get it out of the boxes get it into cabinets get it into drawers
Get it roughly where it belongs
And so before I'm building the garage before I'm doing anything else where I'm buying anything
I'm getting what I have in place
And organized and chance is when you move you should have a lot less crap
Because you should have thrown away three quarters of what you had or given away or sold
Uh, and so I want to have nice lights
So I'm usually having somebody come do the lighting while I'm you know chain
If I needed to add some fixtures while I'm getting everything in the right place
Uh, and then I start buying stuff
That I'm missing uh, and then for me it's tv
So it's garage
So it's get things in place
garage
Lighting while I'm now getting things that I'm missing and then immediately into av I need to have tv
Because then when you're working on stuff your painting wall as you're doing baseboards your remodeling your building stuff
You're organizing got to have a tv set up really quickly so you can
Watch some you know college football while you're working
Yeah, helix v8 ultimate, uh, you need to buy the bluetooth expansion card to plug into it
And uh, you want the conductor for control as well
Um, definitely reach out to luke. I'll let for more advice
I don't know luke is but go for it
Yeah, I saw, um, 835 or 135 mile on bring and tear last 2000 I did see that
No, I that's an ap1 though or no that is ap2o4
Um, I forget which one I think I'm following it, but mine is 1900 mile. So I'm feeling pretty good about it
Where do you do your shopping for the e46 almost exclusively ind ind distribution
Uh
Back to any other books since dr. Clair weeks
It's the only one
And that and the tariff lessons
So the lessons he sends me. So I'm thinking I'm on less. I think he has 21 or 22 lessons or something like that
And 28 lessons and I'm on lesson 12
Um
Gio
Giovanni dev 6909
Uh curious how you plan on getting the smell out of the s2000
I just bought a used car that has a slight mildew odor
And I'm going crazy to get it out
so
I
Here's my plan
So step one I wiped it all down
Okay, so I cleaned the glass. I just cleaned it down step two
Get it outside let it bake in the sun for a couple of days got to be careful with that because I don't want to
Mess up the you know nuke it because the floor of suns pretty are especially this time of year
This is not humid yet and it's just brutal
so, um
Get it in the sun get it back inside
Take the seats out
I'm going to put the seats in my car capsule
So not the big car capsule, but I have another car capsule showcase
I'm going to put the ozone machine in there, which I should get in a day or two
And I'm going to I'm going to leather treat the leather first
And I'm going to uh ozone the crap out of them
With the seats out of the car
In the car caps I'm going to tape the seams and just let it you know let it nuke those
With the seats out of the car
I'm going to let the car sit in the garage and see if the car still smells if it's just the seats
We're good
If it's the carpet then I'm going to do um some extraction
So first thing I'm going to do is clean the carpets. I'm going to extract them using like p&s
um extractor shampoo
And then I'm going to just douse it down in um in baking soda
Let it put the top up close the windows let it sit there
Then vacuum it again maybe extract it one more time
Uh, and then I'm going to sort of go from there. Then I'm going to take the seats apart
See if it's the foams and then try to source some foams
And um and see you know see if I can get it taken care of I'm going to figure it out
Curious how it compares to shampoo plus
I don't know what shampoo plus is is that uh bradley so
Uh, when you plan to stock essence pine and leather, um, it's on the way
What websites do you use to find cars you're looking for Facebook marketplace is full of junk
So I'm using um auto tempest a little bit, but I find those aggregation sites to be annoying
So my preferred is autotradercars.com
Dupont registry so I go to those three regularly when I'm looking for something
I bought the s2000 on autotrader. I bought the
From autotrader. That's how I found it
It was a private sale. I found the 1m on autotrader. I found the
Model s on autotrader
I found the e46 via facebook group so through referral from og following
So, but seems like autotrader is number one for me
Uh, let's see. Can you drop another long best practice tips on organization
How I keep my garage clean and organized with the family and organizing and re and reorganizing and touchless washing
All my cars all my cars and garage hang. Yeah, I'll do all those
overtime
When using brake busting the foam cannon, do not you dilute it because the foam cannon is diluting it roughly 10 to 1 or so
Uh, model s is fantastic and the stereo is great. I'm super pumped for it. I can't wait
Oh, I jumped all in the bottom here
I've driven a lot of cars the s2000 is the best balanced sports car
That's cool. I was just doing some donuts out there in it and uh ryan did not like the manual driving so
Matt you should try adidas adi zero audios pro evo 3 they change running life
Every adidas shoe I bought recently like in the last five years. I hate it
But i'm kind of good with my current runners, but maybe i'll try a set
I notice you were on nitsuka tiger sneakers in a lot of videos
You should check out nipun made mexico 66 line handmade in japan more premium more comfortable basically the Porsche version
So is that what i'm what I have?
Is that what the japan pro version of the asics? Let me look that up
Yeah, mine are a little bit different than those
Those are the the the tigers are a little more minimalist
So let me look up when you're talking about here. I'm always down to find new shoes that I like
That I can waste money on nipun made mexico 66
Let me see what these look like
This is a good radio here
Yeah, these are a little different style
The fabre look pretty cool
Interesting oh shoot these are 500 bucks a piece
I really like it
How much are those fabre?
385 bucks. Holy crap
That looks sick though
Shoot they're like all sold out
What's my size
Men's shoes
It's like a 28 and a quarter is my size I guess
And yeah 28 and a quarter
Oh shoot, they don't even make them
I don't have any of them in that size
Anyway, sorry i'm getting sidetracked here
Get back on track
Uh, let's see here. Thanks for the tip. I'll start digging into that
Yeah, I did answer finny. I do want to get a euro e36
Yeah, so the model s I did buy it from a dealer. So the guy so I found it
It was put on auto trader. I found it like 30 minutes after I put it up
I wanted a 2024 or 20 or late model 2023 because I wanted hardware for
But I was willing to maybe go down and get a 21 or 22 if the price was right
To to and I had a there was a 2024 was 89 000 bucks with 12 13 000 miles on it
and um
It had the performance seats and everything in which I liked that would save me six grand
But it was in arizona. It was a private party sale, which is always more difficult to do than through a dealer
And but it was it was pending sale
And I wanted a white one. I I talked to a couple of companies or guys about red ones, but I really want a white one
So I decided I wanted the white one and then that one popped up. I reached out to the dealer. It was a ford dealer in
Kansas or some I think
can't keep them all straight
and uh, so
I talked to the guy
The guy his customer was the one who sold the car back to the dealership
He's like a famous guy in town
And so my salesman
Said I want the car
He connected me with the owner of the car the owner
Text me he owns a transport company
And so the the previous owner of the car sold it to the dealer the dealer sold it to me
And now the guy who owns the car told me the story of it and why he has 45 cars
And uh, and so that's that's the story
Did you see prior now has a pa 118 and matt black. Oh shoot. I gotta get that
Hopefully the product team is listening to that. We need that. I need it. I need that
Yeah, so my my tesla has hardware 3 which it'll be fine
And so if hardware 4 hardware 3 becomes a problem and then that'll be my my
If i'm still using the car and loving the car then I would um, let me make a change
No outies or Mercedes are on the radar. Um, what about an og nsx? We much cheaper in r34
Yeah, I would rather have an r34. I think
Uh, any updates on press off or traceless? Yes, we have a new traceless
Um, um sprayer specific sprayer coming
Um, can you please get a 981 gt4?
Probably not
Yeah, yum car has never had an original idea in his life. It's true. No, no that whole crew they don't have original ideas
It's okay, but just own up to it. They think they have original ideas, but they're just not
I just I think they're all you know, largely probably nice guys. They're probably just not super bright
That's my take
Um, I don't know. I'm not interested in
Copy and other people. I'm doing I'm doing my own thing
Um
Let's see technically all of us took the risk. Yeah, you took an $18 risk
I took a multi-million dollar risk and you bought an $18 bottle. So yes, you took some risk, but um
I took quite a bit more
Let's see
Matt, I'm trying to figure out some of the new detailing brands that pop out of nowhere. Do you think they all use the same blender?
No, um, there's lots of local blender and blending going on all over the place
So, I mean the b&b Warner
Projet or some of the big ones, but there's there's lots of them
Uh, Matt, are we now dubbing you matty slims looking and feeling healthy?
We can see it in your physical and mental health. Yeah, I'd like that. Let's take it
G90 wagon for the highway
No
No
It's too big. I wrote in one. It's it's way too big
Has the evo earned a place in your forevergot garage, I think so
Right now it's just worth more to me than it is to sell it
Den's 90 91 46 says Matt. I have bad water spots on my windows glass sunroof and side mirrors
What's the best way?
Including products to eliminate the water spots
First thing I would do would be to clay it
So I tape out tape it off
clay it
And then polish it. So just grab um grab review from built hamper from the og store
And uh, just a rupes microfiber cutting pad. I bet you that takes it off
If that doesn't then go to car pro go to skies the limit car care get a ray on pad and car pro siri glass
I don't carry that
And then try that if that doesn't work
What you may want to try before any of that is good
I wanted to use distilled like white vinegar just use vinegar
And and use it put that on a towel and that might take it off as well
But I would be willing to bet that you get the water spots out just from
Review and a and a microfiber cutting pad
Scott Taylor 44 30. Hey Matt. Good to see you driving in after watching og for the last 10 years
My question is what are a couple of things I can spend more money?
Just to make a home life less stressful
Hmm
I mean one thing that you want to you want to invest in is find yourself a cleaning person
Someone that can come in and clean once or twice a week. That'll take a lot of stress off of you
Then find somebody if you have like gardens and stuff you need to have weeded
Find somebody to weed and find somebody to cut your grass
Those are things that figure figure. I don't know how big your yard is but let's say it's a hundred bucks a month
You know, that's $1,200
To have somebody take care of your grass
Let's say it's
Let's say it's 150 bucks a week for a cleaning person
That is what 300 600 bucks a month. What is that 7,200 bucks a year? So for 8400 bucks a year
Now you you should be making, you know 150 k 200 k or so to be able to do that
But but if you're spending, you know a grand a year would make your life
Much much better and make your life, you know those those few hours a week
Let's say you got an hour of grass or two hours of grass cutting two hours of cleaning
That's four hours a week. That's what is that 16 to 20 hours a month?
So let's see four hours a week that's that's 200 hours a year
Could you figure out a way to like invest your time in 200 hours a year into something that shoot?
Even if you just detailed some cars
You know, let's say a car takes you, you know, it would take you 10 hours to detail
And you charged, you know a thousand bucks a car
So, you know, you could make, you know, quite a bit of money
Let's see if you had we're gonna say 10 hours and you had 200 hours. That's 20 cars. That's 20 g's
So you might be able to you might be able to get a
Nice healthy return on your $8400 investment and transition that time into something you would much rather do
I love a great tv, you know, so
That would maybe take some stress off if you enjoy watching stuff
So I would want an lg ol ad and I'd want to have it is of calibrated. That's another thing that you could buy
Get yourself a really good grill
Like a wall for a dcs or, uh, you know, the best grills would be either
Alfresca or twin eagles
Um, so get or heston get one of those three
Oh, so I hope that helps
Uh, where was uh, I think I skipped over some stuff here. We talked about that
OGM2 is an N55
Um, we talked about trest trest traceless
Uh, swiss tracks is on sale. Yeah, it's on sale in the og store
Um
We talked about water spots
When will og hose bib release
How did michelle find out about the cars? Did you tell her or did she see a video?
She heard me talking about the two of them when I was yelling at the bank about wiring funds. She wasn't too happy about that
Um
I said, well
She's so funny because I was um, I didn't think anything of it. I'm just doing what I'm doing
and um, I had bought the 46
I bought the dc2 type r
and um
A couple of weeks earlier and then I was buying the 1m and the s2000 at the same time
and I was on the phone with a
Transporter and the bank trying to transfer the money the transporter was trying to pick up the car
but I thought he was picking up the 1m
And um, and the 1m I hadn't wired the funds for yet
And so I was confused and so I while I'm sitting in the passenger seat
Well, michelle's driving back from the gym and I'm talking about wiring funds and yelling at the bank
And and she's just sitting there silent and she goes at the end. So how many cars did you buy?
and uh, yeah, so
Anyway, I got in trouble for that and then I said to her so well, you don't care if I buy a 400,000 dollar container of press all
That's way more risk combined at 50,000 or s2000
Yeah, so um, yeah, anyway
I told her about the model s
Yeah, I feel the same about focal
How
Yeah usmc vet military merch is overrated and for those who didn't deploy
Yeah, are you happy with how you get in
To the cars to take them off the new rail
Jason says are you happy with how how you get in the new cars to take them off the new rack?
Yeah, so I knew this going in. Um, ben pac explained this to me. They wanted me to get the dcx version
Because on these wider sports cars
Like if you were putting a Toyota Corolla on there, it wouldn't matter
But i'm putting these sports cars that are wider, especially the bigger
um, the bigger cars
the
The wider the car is the tighter it is on those on those the the dc version
But I had a choice. I could do two dcx's or three dc's
And I chose to do three dc's knowing that I would have to sometimes have a spotter
I've gotten it figured out where I I can do it myself
Knowing that it would take a you know, let's say that you're back into a parking space in 30 seconds
Whereas it takes me two minutes to back in onto the lift
Uh, and then you know, I'm pretty spry these days
So me to sort of squeeze out or climb out the window on some of them is I I find it
100% worth it versus having my car sit outside or not having room where it's parked next to my desk
Uh, and so I knew it going in it was going to be tight. Um, I wanted the parking list
I think the parking lifts look better than the four post
and um
Um, I like that when the parking lift is up the whole floor is basically open
Uh, and I just want to experience the parking lift. Uh, so yeah, I'm I'm super pleased
If you had the extra couple of feet that I didn't have
Then you'd want to do the dcx and it'd be perfect
Even then though it the dcx is, you know, 11 000 bucks a piece
Versus get a decent, you know, bend pack four post that's five grand a piece
You know, if you if four post is cheaper easier
Slightly more functional. You can do work on a four post
But I wanted the parking lifts. Um, because I I think they look better
Picked up a metro back master blaster this weekend and it's awesome
I think you mentioned not being interested in the past can you explain I prefer it over my ego blower now
Yeah, I don't like dragging the freaking hose around. I hate getting the hose a vacuum hose out
and um
It's
I'm dragging the hose around is just another hose I got to deal with
It's super loud. Uh, just like a just like a blower. I just like the battery-poweredness of the ego blower
And um, I don't see any benefit to the to the metro vac
I can't wait for the wash and drive videos. Yeah, that's that's coming because we'll do uh, when I build my my wash bay out back
Uh, bio bombs work pretty well. I just don't see how that kind of stuff works
Uh, hex video soon on outdoor watch plaza design and plans. Yes
I got a hex vlog that I have to edit will be up on probably saturday or sunday
Not on that but there is a little bit of that in there, but I'm going to do a whole detailed version
And that what is the shelf life on update of unopened og tire dressing and drying aid
I bought a bunch two black fridays ago still good. Oh, I'm sure as long as it hasn't heat cycled the bunch where it's gotten hot and cold
Then I'm sure it's the last forever
I
Try picking up some of fine detailings odor remover
Maybe I'll talk to ryan about that
Thoughts on the new Nissan z. I don't really like it
My kid better like manual cars because that's going to be their only choice unless they're buying
Let's see. No, the japan pro is still made in china or vietnam. Nippon made is the only handmade in japan. Okay
I'm going to get a pair
Matt I'm happy to hear you're driving. Thanks for that
Let's see
I'm two for two
Paint swell to defect recurrence as rapid remover on tires. Let's go three for three
Carpro microfiber pads. They don't glaze over
Gent's bet if I'm right I come down for rotary work
Okay, I'll try them
Yeah, yeah
Hey matt, hope as well house canada working and we expand to europe
I'm not really focused on that right now on either one of them. So in either ones than going anywhere at the moment
Do you see an overlap in using built hamper auto wheel with something like penis brake buster for tires
Or would you just use auto wheel for everything tire related now auto wheel a new scrap for the tires?
So that's why I don't love it
Oh shampoo plus is maguire. Yeah, I know I don't ever like any of the maguire soaps
Do you sell di resin on the site? Um, we have
Uh, see our spotless resin
And then we're going to have thermax resin as well
Um, so thermax will be selling half cubic feet coming up here soon
Uh too fast for you racing. What is your opinion on rental properties or real estate in the current economy?
So first thing I think you should start saying you'll sound more intelligent when people say in this economy
You really mean in this economic environment? There is only one economy and there are different
You know timeframes in economic times
Um, but but there is no this economy. There is only the economy
And so you would say, you know in and yours is not
Technically incorrect here in the current so you would say the current economic environment or in the current state of the of the economy
Um, but the economy is just a a thing in perpetuity
So, um, I don't think it matters
Any particular economic environment if you're going to be a rental real estate investor or real estate investor in general
Other than there are times where you can buy things on sale
Um, but just know that if you're going to start to invest in rental properties
There is really no such thing as passive investing
If you pass off all of the property management unless you just happen to get fire deals on things
Or you're able to charge some exorbitant amount of rent
Which of course if you were then the prep you would probably pay a price according to that
um, so the the
Those things are like full-time jobs. You know, there's no such thing as passive investing
Now if you get really good at you can gain scale and then if you have all of the stuff set up
You have all the the team set up to manage the stuff
Um, and you can own hundreds of thousands of them. Um, but I have zero interest in that
I think that has to become your thing. You have to be really interested in it
And if you are I don't think it matters what economic environment because you would just figure out rents accordingly
Now you can overpay can underpay
But it's one of those things that I think that you would um, you you want to get obsessed with
And if you have to execute discipline to be obsessed with it's probably not going to be very successful or a whole lot of fun
It would be cool to see you driving Adam Lz's r34 for a video to see what you think of it. That's a great idea
I'm going off to Lz's next week. Um, I want to get in his r34. I'm going to tell him to make sure it's running
Um, because I want to see I want to drive it and see if it's something I want to do
Yes, I always go Michelin
Except for I put 80 80 9s on my Evo because they do a little code
cool
Jay Miller says all roads lead to cybertruck. It's great for bikes and safety
I know but gosh, it's so freaking ugly
I'm just putting a bike rack on my on my tesla and I bought some 3d
Of this sort of hybrid fabric slash composite floor mats
And that's going to be my utility vehicle
Then again, I'm going to be super low
Now cybertrucks are dirt cheap
Uh, so yes, r34 is on the backseat right now
It's a lot of money
Have you used colonite 100 beadlock? I had a bottle when he launched it, but um before he launched it
But I don't know. I just wasn't really interested in it, but maybe it's something I should try
on my e46
Uh, saw the black floating shelves is the og complete pressure washer set up the version without the eye
And just plain lower storage cabinets still on the horizon. Yes, it'll be launched here very shortly
Uh, I think swiss tracks is 10 off. Do we have it set up here people?
Or maybe it was
It's a big change
No, I think it might be over
It was 10 off. I think that sale is up
I don't know hit up hit up designer or supportive sscarge.com designer obsessed garage.com
Yeah, these these fabre

I gotta start getting me some of this stuff
You guys can help make me cool
Now that I'm tan and fit
You got almost a six pack
Still bold as crap though looking at this picture
Hmm
Anyway, I think that's all we got here
Let me just double check your questions here if you got any more put them in but uh, I'm having a lot of freaking fun, man
So much fun messing with all these cars
It's ryan, do you know if you can replace the hose on the k
13 20 on the 13 22

Uh, and uh, dr. Julian has like 15 practitioners that work in his practice
Uh, and um, I don't know if any of them are registered, you know to do to be able to provide advice in canada
Um, it's probably somewhere in the two to five hundred dollar an hour range
Um, just to give you some perspective
So you have to keep that in mind that it's the you know, they're in new york
No long on long island. So they're used to higher-end clientele
When you get a chance, can you put together an office supply list? Yeah, maybe I should
I'm at will you ever go to japan and drive some cars and buy Rolexes for cheap?
I would like to go to japan. Um, I'd love to go like with larry chen and um, and dustin williams and uh,
tommy f. Yeah and adam
Go with all the people who've been there a bunch
Um, and then you know, I would love to be driving if I could
Next Porsche in the car collection you're you're building

He also shares practical detailing, shopping, and garage setup preferences, plus a few blunt takes on investing and business metrics.
This episode covers garage updates, car builds, and what's coming next on the channel, along with a deep dive into current and future cars including a new Model S. Matt also breaks down the development of a new high-performance car soap and what makes it different.
