Anyway, live in the garage here, at Middleton, laptop setup, I was finishing my workout and took a lot longer than I thought. I wanted to kind of get it in before, because I'm going to my buddy's 50th birthday party today. So, let me know about audio. I cranked it up a little bit.
They'd always work to prepare the live stream, and then you have to choose the orientation prior, which is freaking stupid. Every single one I screw up, it's unbelievable. So, I'm going to keep doing this until I get it frickin' right. Anyway, let me go to the channel and pull up your chats, help me out with questions here today. I've got some cool products I want to show you, and I know most of you don't watch this live, and I also got Lipson Racing,
so I'm going to start posting this on all the different platforms. So, I tested it out, I put last week's up, or I guess it was, yeah, last week's stream, I put up on Lipson, so it's on Spotify and all that stuff.
So, anyway, welcome everyone. Let me pull up the chat, pause this. Yeah, that's not the right stream. God dang it, man. Hold on one second while I go and clean this up. I need to get this one out of here.
Let's go to YouTube Studio. I'm running this all by myself, so it's kind of a lot to screw up.
Let's see, I'm already started. What do you want? Ryan's science teacher just called, and I'm like, how do you do this time?
And she was like, I just thought she didn't know, he has been a whole different kid, his attitude, his effort, he just went 100 on his test, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, no teacher ever calls. Good news.
And it was like, lady, you just made my whole weekend. Thank you so much for calling, to actually say something creepy to it. Like, am I cool?
No, it's cool. Can you buy money when you get small? Sure. Also no message to a call, but make sure you say something. Okay.
Be dad of the year, love you.
All right. She's crazy. So, anyway, all right, it's funny because Kate, I think it's a lot like Michelle and I, but Ryan just, I think he knows that school is nonsense.
So, he, yeah, he just does his own thing. And so, but he's, he's clearly smart enough to get good grades, but I think he knows that it's the world that's changed to where you can, everything you need to know is at your fingertips.
All right. So, we always start this out terribly as usual. So, I deleted the, the one that didn't work out so you're not confused going to watch 55 second mess up.
So, let me do the pop out chat here so I can answer your questions, get the questions coming in. So, I can do this properly.
Well, anyway, I didn't screw up last week on the, the AR announcement and apparently other people kind of beat me to the punch.
It's pretty typical. I was told that I would have the only AR635's. So, the original plan with AR635 was to, we were going to launch, we'd be the first to launch, we had all of them became in the US.
And, that was what they told us, of course, that wasn't true. And, and so, we were going to launch the 635's this week. And, and the 630's were coming in to kind of fulfill everybody's orders.
And, apparently some other dealers already have it up, which is unbelievable. But anyway, my 635's sitting right here. So, we have AR635's in stock and they don't need to be tested.
They're good to go. And, and so, they, the only thing we have to figure out here in short order is you can't use a 1.5 millimeter orifice on them.
So, we're going to start shipping them. People have already started buying them. So, we, I guess, I guess you're going to have to figure it out on your own if you want to be a beta tester.
The 635, again, if you're not familiar, is 1 or 2 point, sorry, 3.2-ish gallons per minute. And, you need to put, I think I'm running it with like a 7.5 or 8 orifice.
And, then, we need about a 1.8 on the foam cannon. It's at around 900 psi. It's extremely quiet, extremely robust.
I think what they've done is they slowed the RPM down a bit. I might be making this up, but this is just logic sort of making, it makes logical sense to me.
They slowed down the RPM. They slightly increased the size of the plunger, the thing that makes the pressure. And, they also increased the size of the camlobe.
So, that combination means that they can stay under a certain amperage percentage. They can stay under a certain amperage and voltage percentage.
And, so we can get these remarkable results, really, really quietly, with a, not a lot of power, which is freaking sweet.
And, the pricing on it, so right now with two versions, we have the regular version, the brass version, and then we have the hot version. So, here it is right here.
So, there's mine sitting right there. That guy. So, that's the brass head version, which I think is like 1290 bucks or something like that.
And, then, the 635 hot, which doesn't have any benefit other than it looks cooler for us.
You know, it gets you higher heat, which you need a boiler in order to get to those heat, that heat level. And, it is prettier.
But, that one's like 13 something, just shy of 1400 bucks. So, the orders, you should be able to place your orders here soon.
But, that was what I was talking about last week, and then, against my better judgment, I said, well, maybe I better hold this up.
And, then, now, it's live. So, if you want one right now, I don't think we have it up on the site yet. If you want one, just email support at psescars.com and we'll chip it to you.
We have them there, they're here. So, let's see, audio's good, all clear, good, I jacked it up a little bit.
That was the AR announcement, Spencer, JM King says it's been a while since I caught it live.
Let's see, let's see, good day, Ryan. We're starting with the AR announcement today.
Let's see, Gene, showcat 899, says, do you know when the press all shelves will be available for purchase.
Like the shelves back here, I'm assuming. I think they are up in the store.
I should be. Let me see, let me go to psescars.com.
By the way, LeaderMax is live for everybody, and we haven't sold out, so we still have some. So, get your orders in for that.
And, let's look at shelves.
Wriggle black shelving. Yep, it's up on the site. We have them in stock. We've been shipping them.
I think we have all of them available. And so, those are the 8-inch deep.
I like the 8-inch deep, but if you want to do two bottles front to back, you know, you could still fit two on the 8-inch, but I think that 10 inches is the way to go.
So, those are 30-34-inch wide, and they're the 8-inchers. They're 34-inch.
Oh, it's backspath in there. There are 110 bucks piece.
And then, we should have...
We do have, if you want to do it on Slatwall, we have the Slatwall mounts up as well.
So, you can add those. Those are in transit, so you can reserve your spot on those.
And so, mind on the Slatwall. It's nice on the Slatwall. If you want to move them around, if you want to adjust or change where it's at.
So, let's go back to your questions here. Let's see.
Let's see...
What happened is Ryan got in trouble with his teacher for being a smart ally.
And so, she called Michelle two or three times, and he kept screwing up.
And so, now, she called today to say he's doing great.
Which is good.
Tell us about the new bucket filler you have there, Maddie.
And so, the bucket filler, the pipe, or the hose is the same.
But the spiket, or whatever, the end piece, the nozzle.
Gosh, we're looking for the right words. It's drawing the words here, Jay.
It just got out of cold pot, and it's still a little loozy.
The one we have is from Dram. It's up on the site now.
It is, let's see, Dram. I think that's what we call it.
Let's see, we call it Bucket.
It's something like a bucket filler nozzle.
Yeah, yeah, it's the bucket filler, aluminum bucket filler nozzle.
It's made by Dram.
It's not anything special. It's 30 bucks.
But it's designed for like watering plants, and it's freaking sweet.
We got 33 of them in stock, and it's cheap.
And so, what you would want to do is put your garden hose quick disconnect on it,
so you could take it off and remove it or change it, you know, if you had a different,
like you had an ultimate hose on it, not only on a switch back and forth.
So, the combination would be to do the OG, you know, T316 staying this ore, the OG,
you know, just the regular continental frontier hose, and whatever length you need,
you know, 12, 18, that's a 24.
And then you put that on the end of it, and it's like the perfect combination.
I like having that because then I never have to adjust the spray pattern.
It's just good. It's like the right amount.
It's cheap. It's simple. It's going to last forever. It's great.
So, it is up and available for purchase.
We have them in stock. It'll ship today.
Let's see, Buddy Hume says, just ordered my Sonic MSS 192-inch array in advanced tool package.
It's so looking forward to getting everything.
Oh, that's going to be great. That's going to be a fun time when that shows up at your house
and you get to unbox it and put it all together.
It'll take it, you know, a day, and then you get to figure out where you're going to put your tools.
Oh, man, that's frickin' sweet, dude. Congrats on that.
I'm pumped for you.
Send us post some pictures in the Facebook group.
Jeff Jr. says, my wife is Michelle too.
Yeah, Michelle with the one L. This is my Michelle.
Let's see, Adamos Garage says, I'm running dual-crenzalous and I usually isolate one so I can run my CR spotless.
If I'm upgrading to dual AR630s or an AR635, do I have to upgrade my DI system to handle more flow?
Yeah, I mean, the 630 technically is probably flowing too much, right?
So it does 2.3 gallons a minute.
I mean, I haven't tested it, but I think that the new 630 is probably going to overwhelm the CR and probably rifle through a resin quicker.
I don't know, I haven't tested it, so I'm not sure.
But if you have two pressure washers, what you could do is just do two CRs.
So if you like with two crens, lows or two AR active 2.0s or something like that, you could do two of those and then do them in parallel and then set it up that way.
I expect to have our full high-flow pressure washing solution.
I don't know if you're going to want to spend $6,000 on the thing, but I have that which would support either.
So the 635 and the CR is a no-go.
It's not going to work in whatever configuration you try to do, it's not going to work.
I think if you tried to run two in parallel, it would have a flow restriction and cause cavitation and problems.
So you're going to have to do something like a DI rinse pro or some other higher flowing clack.
Clack is the maker of the valves and the tanks that you see everywhere.
So you're going to need something like that in order for it to work.
Or you'll have to wait for the OG high-flow pressure-washing solution.
Let's see.
Joey Boss Carino says, do you have any suggestions for cabinet organization of microfibers and other items?
So for microfiber, I mean I don't...
A lot of people will put them inside of sterile bins, sterilized, or I think they're sterile light.
So they'll put them in some sort of plastic bin so they don't get dusty.
Mine, I just put in the drawer, right?
And so I just do this.
And so if you look at mine, I have these deep drawers.
And so I have my used pads there.
I need to sell those pads.
And then I have the slightly less deep drawer up top here with my more used towels.
But that's how I store mine.
I kind of like having them in a drawer better than in a cabinet like in a normal closet.
But that's how I do mine.
And I'm running through them regularly.
And my garage isn't particularly dirty or dusty and it is air conditioned.
But I know a lot of people that may not have quite as ideal conditions if you're doing a lot of polishing,
your blow and out pads a lot, and you got a lot of dust and debris going on.
Or you're doing metal work, then maybe you want to put it in some sort of bin.
But generally speaking, I'm going to put it in my cabinet or in my drawer
and just keep them nice and folded and whatever way makes the most sense.
That's how I do it.
Let's see.
Matt, all my way to, whoa, we'll just have them there.
Just jumped.
Matt, all my way to see bring in a couple of hours.
Can I swing by and pick up a AR635?
Sure.
Yeah, they're there until 430.
So you'd have to hustle.
But yeah, you can come and buy one.
Matt, all this is going to yell at me for this.
But yeah, come on over.
We're always happy to sell it to you.
Neil Natick says, active 2.3.
What are your thoughts?
It's not a good pressure washer.
I wouldn't recommend it.
It's really loud.
It's clunky.
I don't like the pump head.
It seems really cheap.
So it's got this really big electric motor.
I didn't bring it in.
I just, I didn't like the thing.
So I wouldn't buy it.
And so I wouldn't recommend it.
I think you would be better served.
Get the AR630 on the,
you're going to have to come up a little bit
from the pricing on the 6.3 on that 2.3.
But when we'll extra press all sprayers be available,
I think we've launched those yet.
I know we put the tips up.
We just wanted to make sure that we had ample stock.
So I think it should be soon.
Yeah.
My guess is we'll probably have them up in, you know,
first quarter, early first quarter.
So the people you can buy all the parts and swap it out.
I did disassemble mine here, trying to figure out what's going on with this.
There's not much to it now.
It's pretty, pretty simple.
But I wonder what's causing the blow by from the heavy alcohol content.
So I've been, I've been meaning to sort of start playing with this.
What's happening is getting past somewhere and then leaking.
So I'm going to figure out, is it leaking from one of these points here?
Is it leaking past the O-ring that's in the back there?
I'm not sure.
We did send some, I think we sent some product, some traceless to them
to figure that out.
But yeah, I think we should be able to launch our spray heads.
So I think we have a boatload of them.
We just want to end up with a bunch of bottles and no spray heads.
But we, you know, we have more coming regularly.
All right.
Matt, you said in the past when you get new bath towels,
you wash them six or seven times first.
Do you toss them in the dryer each, between each cycle or is that just the end?
So I haven't had to do that with the new towels that I've been using.
The new towels are Matuke M-A-T-O-U-K.
Yep.
Matuke.
And they just dry much better.
I was doing front gate and the front gate towel is in order to get them to dry.
You had to wash them six or seven times and I would wash dry.
Wash dry.
You need to go through that cycle a bunch before they actually start working well.
At least those towels.
So the Matuke towels that I've been buying, that I've been using,
which I like a lot more, is a...
And I don't like bath sheets.
They're too frickin big.
I like bath towels.
Uh-oh.
Looks like they changed their towels.
The heck?
See if they still have the ones I have.
And yeah, a M-A-M-A-N towels.
Man, they're not cheap.
And I did them in the...
What they call cloud, which is a gray.
And they're bath towels, 73 bucks a piece.
But they're pretty frickin' sweet.
Yeah.
They have like a whole washing procedure, which I'm not following.
But they're really nice.
So those are the towels.
And those wash ones, and they're good to go.
Shoot.
I don't even know if I washed them.
The first time I used them, I probably just used it.
Uh, let's see.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Happy you're here.
ATD Auto Spa says,
had a question concerning cabinets.
If you were a detail shop, me and one employee, low volume,
two cars a week, PPF and ceramic.
Which array would you go with?
Not sure.
I'd need as many shallow drawers.
I mean, you're going to be investing in your company, right?
Investing in your...
I don't call it persona, but in your...
What you're presenting to the world,
presenting to your customers.
And especially if you have something...
Some coming to you, you'll be using that.
You'll be sure you'll be posting photos on social media.
So I would want it to look good.
And so I would pick the cabinet array that you think looks the best.
But I would want to invest in something good.
And so I would do, you know, MSS Plus if you like the way that looks.
And if you don't want a lot of drawers, you could.
If you got time, we could just cost them order.
You know, if you wanted more cabinets, we could do that.
If you could swing it, you know, I mean, if I own a detailed shop,
I would want Sonic MSS Plus in there.
Or I would want to do Rousseau and do it in my custom color.
But I know that's sort of cost prohibitive.
So I think what I would consider is, if you're not at that level,
then, you know, consider doing a Prostlat.
Because Prostlat can do whatever color you want.
So I would want to do it like your color has somewhat some green in it,
green and white.
So it would be kind of cool to do some sort of custom green
to match your style.
Or maybe it's the white cabinets and you have the green and your Swiss Trek style
or something like that.
But I mean, I'd consider doing, I would want MSS if that style worked for you.
If not, because the cost makes sense.
But if not, I would probably consider Prostlat.
Let's see, does it foam with the 1.8?
Yeah, the 635 does, for sure.
It bogs down. Well, I guess I'm assuming it does.
But it bogs down and overamps the machine
when you use a smaller orifice inside the foam cannon.
Why do they make a 3.2 gallon per minute?
Doesn't make sense.
What do you mean doesn't make sense?
Why wouldn't you?
More flow, better.
That's why we're doing doles.
Because when you're washing with more flow,
it makes it a much more efficient process.
You want as much flows you can get up to a certain point.
Once you start to get into big flow, 5, 6, 7 gallons a minute,
and it becomes a bit difficult to manage.
You know, your pressure washer got a big giant pump.
You're on 240 volts, 30 or 40 amps.
And you've got to have a double handled pressure washer gun.
And so I think the sweet spot is around that four gallons a minute.
Once you start to get above that, then once you get to 5,
it gets a little dicey.
You need a two-handed operation.
But 3.2 in a single machine that's much, much quieter than a dual setup
and much less expensive because you don't need all the piping and valves
and all that stuff is incredible.
It's like the best pressure washer to wash a car that's existed to date, for sure.
Let's see, Matthew Popov B7Y says,
Hey, Matt, we all know Mirko will likely be the top tier polisher for each segment once they launch.
The LE 4500 has been amazing.
Have you tested the upcoming new A42 or A2000 Pro
which uses Makita batteries?
I haven't, I haven't, I haven't got my hands on it yet.
So I'll let you know when I do.
Let's see, Mike in 1977 says,
Hey, Matt, looking to get the spotless wall mount solution.
Do you sell a wall mounted solution with the pre-vose piping?
Do you sell a wall mounted solution with the pre-v?
Yeah, yeah, so if you go to the site,
so you want the IW which is the wall mount, the IW20
and pre-vosed CR,
we have a package.
So like, if you just wanted like the pre-vosed piping kit alone,
if you just Google or just search in the obsessed garage search field,
or says, what are you looking for?
Just search, search pre-vosed CR
and you'll see the CR Spotless rolling system which will work.
Or, you know, you can buy the piping package
which is the piping wall kit.
It's freaking expensive.
You can get it in gray or blue.
It's $665 for everything we need to do it.
So it's on reserve your spot,
but we're always getting the parts and pieces that are always coming in,
so you can get that.
Hope that answers your question.
Let's see here.
Let me go back to where I was.
Yeah, the 635 is not up yet.
Should be up soon.
Lou Sassy says 1.8 to 2.2 GBM is the perfect sweet spot.
No, it's not.
I'll tell you what the sweet spot is.
It's not.
It's 3 to 5 GBM.
It's not 1.8.
It's just, 1.8 is the most we could get.
And now we can get more.
So why wouldn't we?
And I'm not a spec guy.
I'm a real world operation guy.
I'm telling you, if you came and used my dual at 4.2,
and then you had to go wash another car with just 1
and 2 GBM, you're going to think the pressure wash is broken.
Now, if you're used to 2, it's fine.
OK, that's the job, but you want more.
Let's see.
What was the name of the water spot remover?
You were using the Bronco Washington.
It's this nasiol here.
It's the only water spot remover I've ever used.
It actually worked this thing here.
It's pretty sweet.
N-A-S-I-O-L nasiol.
I've got the coatings and the trim coat and the glass coatings
and all that stuff here.
I guess it's not a glass coating.
You know, rain repellent?
Yeah, car glass protection.
Yeah, I've got that here, too.
Let's see.
Thanks for your questions.
Keep them rolling.
Let's see.
I don't see the 635 on the site.
It's not up yet.
Just shoot an email and support at pcscrows.com.
We should have it up in the next couple of days.
Jeff Jr. says, how hot of water can we push
out of an active 2.0?
I think you're good to probably 140.
I don't know what it's rated at.
You're not going to get 140.
I mean, my water heater is set to 120.
I mean, which is relatively hot.
And it's going to run through, you know, PVC or pecs
throughout the house or copper.
It's going to lose a lot of heat through the line.
And so, I mean, what are you going to get at the actual,
you know, spick it.
You're going to get 110 degrees.
So, it'll be more than fine to run whatever kind of hot water
you can get out of a normal water heater.
Now, if you had a boiler or you had like a dedicated water heater
for your pressure washer, then, you know, you'll probably run into.
The problem going too hot, same thing with running
to heavy mineral content, is that you're going to jack up the seals.
And so, you jack up the seals.
And that's where the difference between the AR635 or this
in the 630 and then the hot versions is that they have a ceramic seals.
And so, those ceramic seals are not affected by the heat.
Because there's really nothing else in the pressure washer.
The check valves in the seals, if they're not heat rated, you know,
they're plastic.
And so, the check valves are different.
The seals are different.
And so, then it can handle, you know, about the hotter water.
Really, they're designed like to go up to 180, you know, 200 degrees
and some of these, like a hot sea with a boiler.
But in most cases, if you have hot water just for like the winter,
you, out of your normal water heater from your house,
I mean, pretty much any pressure washer is going to be fine with that.
What won't be fine with that is your DI.
You don't want to run any kind of warm water through your DI,
you'll nuke it fast.
Your resin won't work very well.
Ryan Warner says, how do I get a myself a viper chair in Australia?
I'm sure they have some sort of distributor there.
Or, I mean, you can pay the insane amount of money and we can ship you one.
It'll get there in like three days, four days.
Let's see.
Have you had the chance to try the Bosch Polish, a very similar with America,
basically the same unit, but as a trigger lock.
This Cadilluit is not what he's talking about.
The Bosch is not even close.
I'm working with them to see if we can make it decent.
The three inches is going to be $675 with two three-amp hour batteries.
But it has an insane amount of vibration.
So that's the disadvantage.
Like, if you're not even using, you're just holding in your hand
and operating it for, say, 20 seconds,
you'll have like 10 minutes of like,
like you feel, almost like you sat on your hand or slept on your arm wrong.
You'll feel it in your hand for a long time.
In fact, when you hold it up and you turn it on
and you look at the lights, you see the thing bouncing back and forth.
And so I'm hoping that they can remove some of that NVH.
Because I think it is a pretty sweet spot here, because I like it.
It has tons of torque, both the 3-inch and the 5-inch.
I think they made a mistake in that the 5-inch is an 8-millimeter orbit.
And they did that because they want to be able to use it as like a hybrid sander and polisher.
But it's like off the charts, vibration.
So it's going to be a really poor user experience when polishing.
They're not launching till April, so they have some time.
I was talking to Alberto about it who actually came and visited and brought all the machines.
So they have a rotary 3-inch and a 12-millimeter 3-inch.
And then they have the 5-inch, you know, dual action.
They're nice. It has a mechanical trigger lock which is nice.
It has ample torque, ample power, but they've got to figure out the vibration because it's brutal.
It's absolutely brutal.
And so I think that might even be prohibitive.
So I set up my deal or agreement and everything.
But I love the spot here because America is going to be on the ultra high end.
And so we have Ellie on the low end or entry level starting out.
They compete with these higher end ones.
And then we would have the Bosch stuff in the middle and they are working on.
They couldn't share anything with me, but they are working on a full-bodied cordless 5-inch.
So that's good.
And they're going to be to market way before America.
So I'm interested in it just for my own personal use.
And so if I'm using it, I'm going to sell them.
And then it's going to be slaughtered in a different price point.
I mean, the America 3-inch is about 900 bucks.
And this is 675.
And then if we have a nice Ellie at 2, 3, 400 bucks, that's going to be a nice combination.
So yeah, the Bosch is very interesting, very close, but right now almost unusable.
So I'm hoping we can get them to fix that.
They're very new to this game.
And so they hired Alberto from Roupes to run North American distribution and product development.
So he's running all of the sort of abrasives and the body shop side as well as detailing.
Which detailing will be a much smaller percentage of their business.
But I suggested, man, I'm really intrigued.
I think it's really cool, but it's not there yet.
So hopefully we can get it.
And it's not the same unit, not even close.
It's a completely different architecture.
Let's see, AR 635 does require a dedicated, dedicated, donate app.
Yeah, it's going to pull 19 amps.
Let's see, Matt, you mentioned something you were thinking of doing with gift cards.
Can you elaborate?
Actually, we got to nail this down because in order to get this going, I think we should run this.
We should run this next week.
I don't know if we can get your gift cards to you in time, though.
Dang.
We need to run a gift card promo.
What I was thinking of doing was doing a short-term physical gift card, physical or virtual gift card.
And so I guess if, that's the way we could get around it, we could do a virtual gift card as well if you needed it like last minute.
And so you could, I was thinking, running inside the hex, or running it for everybody at like 10% off.
So I'll talk to Rutledge this afternoon and see if we can get that going.
But I was going to 10% off gift cards.
And then it's 10% off effective for you to buy stuff because that's what I was planning on doing.
And I'm telling you, an OG gift card at Christmas would be fire people up.
AR Stock allocated for OG Canada?
No.
Nope.
I'm going to ship it from the US.
At least not yet.
Let's see.
I don't know what this guy saying.
I mean, hose nozzle.
Knows why my phone said the boner, HN10, AL original.
You can buy them single and black.
I don't know what he's talking about.
He's talking about a nozzle.
Let's see.
Brian Silver says, hey, Matt, I don't have room to install a jack shaft opener.
Is there any other model opener you can suggest as an alternative?
Yeah.
I mean, you just want to do a nice, you know, I would stick with the next company.
Escape to me.
Liftmaster.
Just do a nice high quality lift master, you know, normal, normal opener.
Hey, Matt, what was the issue with other retailers getting the AR635?
So I'm not exclusive on the 635.
I didn't ask for that.
I have a different deal, you know, set up for them.
And they told me that I was getting all the 635s and I didn't get all the 635s.
So I don't know what the heck is going on there, but whatever.
It doesn't matter because I've got a good marketing deal with them.
And I'm not going to disclose that.
But I've got a good deal to where I will get taking care of for my promotion of this.
Because the 635 will do fine without me, but it will do great with me.
Right?
I'll sell the lion's share of them in the marketplace.
And so I'll sell, say, 50-60% of them.
But the other 50-60% will sell just because we're promoting it.
And so a pressure washer like that needs somebody like me to be like the spokesperson for it.
Otherwise, it won't sell nearly as much.
And so that's what I negotiated.
So I negotiated and make sure we have stock in it.
And so you're going to be able to buy it pretty much everywhere.
Everywhere I can buy AR, you're going to be able to get it.
Which is fine with me.
I just want to promote the machine.
And so the deal I put together would allow me to just promote it.
I want everybody to buy it for me because that's the way I make the most amount of money.
But I just want the pressure washer to do well.
And so I have a deal with AR to help me promote it.
And so it's a good deal for me.
It's a good deal for them.
And it's going to be a good for all everyone because I'm going to help sell the darn pressure washer
for all the dealers that sell it.
Which is going to be great, great for the whole marketplace.
Because right now it's the best pressure washer in existence, no question.
And then I'll have exclusivity on the FU version, I think.
I haven't gotten a sign off on that.
But when we do the carbon fiber, matte-mormon signature addition,
I'll probably do that when exclusive.
Maybe with a couple of partners.
I'm not planning on running dual 6.35s.
I don't think.
But we're going to try it and see what happens.
We'll see what it looks like.
What if you turn the unloader valve to run the CR?
You really don't want to mess with the unloader if you can help it.
It puts on new pressure on the machine or extra pressure on the pump head.
The unloader is kind of pointless.
At least for my experience or the recommendation on these small pressure washers
that you're generally not recommended to use the unloader for adjustment on the fly.
You're better off served doing minor adjustment via opening up the orifice on the exit
on the gun.
Robert Dean 387 says,
what's the best way for me to know what size sonic inlays to buy for the new MSS sonic cabinets?
Yeah, you should just reach out to the design team.
But you want mediums and larges.
So the mediums will go in the 26 inch wide drawers
and then the larges will go in the 34 inch wide drawers.
So they're designed to fit.
But yeah, you're best served.
Just reach out to the design and they'll help make sure you get the right stuff
and kind of lay it out for you.
863 Vegas says,
hey Matt, any plans to do deep dive into which combination of phone packages you'll recommend
based on the mix of drawers and size 675 versus 845 with preconfigured arrays?
Yes, for sure.
And so we're working on getting buy-in from sonic,
because I wanted to make a four new drawers that don't exist.
And then the entire year,
I'm going to be working on one drawer at a time and helping you build out exactly what you're going to need
to build an awesome set of tools on your sonic MSS.
For now, if you want just hit up design, press Kyle and team,
they can help you figure it out for sure, help you put together a nice tool package.
It's been doing it for a long time.
So has the press all order issued been sorted and new stock is coming both for bottles and heads?
Yeah, I think we're okay.
I mean, the next batch of fluorinated bottles,
I mean, they, you know, certain chemicals still affect the color in the short term,
but then they kind of go back to normal.
The blacks, I still want to figure out a way to get them here to where they're not all scratched up looking.
But like, once you put the label on them, they look, they look fine.
And so my guess is the next container that comes in that will have full stock of all the individual parts and pieces.
So that way we can, you know, sell all a cart every, every part and piece for them.
That, that's my plan.
Let's see.
Yeah, I'm still planning on doing the FU version.
Let's see, new cabinets are incredible.
I feel as though you should design your own stuff with the manufacturer.
That's what I'll be doing a lot of in the future.
The launch actually didn't go bad.
It's just, it was weird.
I'm like, they told me one thing and the different thing happened.
So it was just weird.
Like, why make that commitment?
So anyway, we'll, we'll see how it goes in the future.
Let's see.
Is the depth five inch drawer, 20 inch deep of the new Sonic cabinet's a big concern?
No, I mean, I think you wanted that deep because then you can fit your car in the garage.
If you don't have a super deep garage, like mine does.
And that's why you want a lot of drawers because they're not quite as deep.
But, I mean, I had MSS for years and the original MSS was the same size and it's great.
It wasn't an issue at all.
Just do lots of drawers.
And let's see.
For the 635, 1.8 in the foam cannon and 6 or 7 for the gun.
No, you're 1.8 for the foam cannon and 8, 7 and a half or 8 on the gun.
The wand.
And that one's your next track day.
I'd miss the drive and chat video of the IU and me, both brother.
I don't want to have one scheduled.
I'm probably going to wait a little while until I get my life in order and all my cars put together.
So, let's see.
On your future wash station, can you run a single cabinet and still have enough DI to support the future AR?
Yes.
Yes, it'll flow 10 gallons a minute.
An AZL makes quality stuff.
Why would we want hot water going through a pressure washer?
If you have hot water going through it, it is a more effective cleaner.
You know, clean your car better.
It's great when it's cold, you know, to just make for a little bit better user experience.
I don't run hot water through mine, but if once you do it, most people sort of swear by it.
Let's see.
Got the majority of OG Black Friday shipment, just pending traceless.
You might want to email support KKESSHAVE74 for, I'm pretty sure we have traceless in stock.
So, something weird.
You might want to email support and have them check out your order, because that should have gone out.
AP2S2000 says in one of your latest washing talks you were talking about an all-in podcast,
but got cut off because something went wrong filling the water bucket.
Is that the podcast with David Sachs?
Yes, it's called all-in podcast with David Sachs and Chamoth and David Freberg and J. Cal.
I think as soon as it comes out, I listen to the whole thing.
I think if you're a grown man, let's say your 25 years are older,
and actually I'd be watching it if I was 18 to get a good lay of the land in life.
These guys are all moderates.
Like, they're former, most of my think, are former Democrats.
So, they're moderate people.
Business all Uber successful.
You know, all worth.
It's hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.
And they have all worked in Silicon Valley.
And they just give you a really solid moderate take on what's going on with AI
and the business world and the political front.
It's really, really great.
I can't recommend it enough if you're a grown-up.
You should really consider it.
But yeah, David Sachs is on it a lot.
So, David Sachs is sort of the AI's are in the current administration,
which is awesome.
David Sachs was part of the PayPal Mafia with Elon and Sergey and many of the others.
Peter Teo.
So, really awesome.
And they have great guests on.
And I find it to be it.
It's my favorite podcast, that, you know, Joe Rogan.
Let's see.
With dual Crenzlers, I'm struggling to keep misting to a minimum in the garage.
But downgrading to a single AR635 help, or what can you recommend?
Yeah, I know what you're saying.
There's so much water that, you know, it's the mist overwhelms.
And you end up with, you know, a bunch of humidity issues.
And if you go down to three gallons a minute, it's going to be a little less.
So, yeah, it would make a difference.
Robbery says recommendations for gym rack system.
Sharing space in the garage, unfortunately.
Something for basic movements, chess, shoulders, etc.
Hang plates on.
Looking for a small footprint.
So, I did a rogue functional trainer.
It's only 30 inches off the wall.
I liked having a functional trainer that was not mounted to the wall.
It was just stand alone because I can squat rack bench.
And then it has the plate racks on the, or the weight racks on the side.
And so, I get cable stuff.
Because when I'm doing CrossFit, I don't get access to cable stuff.
So, I'm like today, I did some tricep push downs.
And I did overhead tricep extensions.
Which I haven't done that kind of regular weightlifting movement stuff in a decade.
Plus, because I'm doing complex barbell movements.
Like, you know, cleans and shoulder press and push press and push jerk stuff like that.
So, I like kind of having that.
And then my off days from CrossFit, or when I can't get there, I'll do that.
So, today I did the bench, flat bench, incline bench, you know, barbell bench.
And then I did just real quick tricep push downs.
And then whatever we had overhead, whatever you call that, with the rope.
And I think rogue is the best.
I know rogue is the best.
There's rep and then there's several other knockoffs.
But I would recommend rogue.
I'm a rogue sucker.
So, I'm a rogue super fan.
But the rogue, the quality of the rogue pulleys and stuff is the best.
But I would want a functional trainer rather than a wall mount rack.
But if you're doing a wall mount rack, the rogue infinity is probably a viable option.
Canada must think says, do you miss the days of being a financial advisor?
Not one lick.
Not even slightly.
And in fact, I couldn't even imagine going back to it.
But it was very important in my life's journey.
You know, many of them very successful people I know in the world were.
You know, they were financial advisors at one point.
And then they sort of, it's weird because when you are one, you think you'll do it forever.
Like there's no way because it's so hard to build a practice that, you know,
that you think, well, I'm going to do this for the rest of my life.
And man, it would be like pulling my teeth out if I had to go do that again.
But it is a great life if you make it and you can make a really great living
and take care of people and help people for making stupid mistakes.
But yeah, I'm not going back to that.
APDOS 1000s, can we get a watch collection vlog?
I don't...
If I take enough heat for sharing the fancy cars and garages I have,
I'm getting really into it.
So I have an OP oyster or perpetual blue dial.
And I just got here recently.
What I do is I watch the modal watch group.
And sometimes I'll just buy it if something I want.
But like this was there was a mode, there was an auction.
So there was a modal auction going on.
And it's a modal watch community on Facebook.
And so there was an auction on this watch.
And I wanted an oyster perpetual.
There's certain watches, like I like some mariners.
I like the GMTs.
I don't like the yacht master.
I don't like the deep sea.
You know, I don't want a James Cameron.
It's too big.
And so I haven't had enough balls to go to the Daytona world.
There's too much money for my wallet.
So this OP sells for something like the retail on it.
If you can get it at the dealer, it's like $6,500 bucks.
But then in the second area, like I'm currently 24 and even a modal watch group,
this watch would sell with a blue dial in the 41 millimeter sell more than for more than the 36s.
But they, what's up?
Let's leave.
Okay, you guys going to win?
Yeah, ask her the reviews.
What's the good news?
I'm Captain.
You got a big sea on your jersey.
You're going to get seashell or what?
No, we didn't think of that.
How are you, the Captain?
Aren't you the littlest and youngest?
She got a load of Captain by her teammates.
And the youngest one.
But you're the biggest mouth.
The biggest best leader.
Bye.
Congrats.
You're going to win?
Yeah.
Two days.
Two day tournament.
Not three.
Yeah.
All right.
We'll see you up.
Keep me up to date.
See you guys.
Keep going to the first club volleyball tournament of the year.
She's pumped.
She's on 13 you and she's 11.
So, she's the, she's the center.
She runs a 5-1.
So, somehow we got a shorty.
She's real short.
Hopefully she starts growing soon.
But anyway, what I was saying is, so I go in and load a watch group.
And I see this watch.
I'll follow this post or save the post.
And then I was on a rock.
And I went and said, oh, let's see how that,
that OP is doing on the auction.
Because then people just sort of put their place, their bed, and no one's bidding.
And so, these sell for some where or around.
Like on Chrono, they'll probably sell for 12 or 13,000.
And then they sell for, you know, 11, 12 on the, in the mode watch group.
And it was at 9,000 bucks or 9,100.
And so, I was the only one who bid at the end.
I got it for 9,200 bucks.
Still a lot of frickin' money.
Spendin' all my hellin' money, you know, selling hellin' house.
But the thing I think about with Rolex is, and I don't,
I don't know that I'll get into other watches.
Maybe I will at some point.
The brands that I like, I like Tudor on the low end.
I like IWC.
I like Glass Shoota.
And I do like some Omega's.
But for now, you know, the Rolex just wears so well, and I'm the,
I don't know, I just got really into it.
And so, I have like 10 or 11 of them now.
But I don't think I'm going to make a video of it,
because it's going to get me in trouble and make everybody hate me.
What's up with Inside the Hex posting a lot soon on YouTube before the site.
We got that solved.
It's just easier to put it up on YouTube than it is on the website.
But I think we got that solved, so this should go up at the same time.
I'll have a vlog up this weekend, and I just put the basic finance,
which I think is probably my best finance video.
I got a little too personal and shared with you all the details of my IRAs and 401K.
But I used myself as a case study for context.
But the, yeah, it's...
That video's up, and then I shot a vlog yesterday, so that should be up as well.
Super chat, Brandon, thanks, man.
Hey, Matt, how's it coming along with more items of Canada?
P.S. Crafts on becoming Captain Decade.
I don't know yet.
We got to have a meeting and sit down in the next couple of weeks to figure out what we're going to do there.
So, sorry, I don't have an answer for you.
But I'm not sure.
Cameron Washington says estimation of how much the 250 milliliters leader max will last
or how many interior cleanings.
Let's see.
Myself, I have my original 250 mil bottle.
I don't know.
Mine's smaller.
It was a 150 mil bottle.
My guess is you would get
on the cleaner,
probably 10 interiors, maybe more,
on the conditioner, probably 25.
So, buying that leader bottle was probably largely unnecessary for most of you,
but you're going to do a lot.
Stephen Cole Cassie says off topic,
what do you personally do about health insurance?
That's a good question.
I think about that.
So, we have a health insurance plan at Obsescarage.
It's Blue Cross Blue Shield.
It was really the only option we have in Florida.
But it's a Blue Cross Blue Shield plan.
We have three different plans.
And the way it's structured.
When you're a business owner with health insurance,
the company covers 100% of your personal insurance.
But I mean, company's me, so I'm still paying for it.
But I cover 50% of all employees cost them.
They get to choose from a good, better, best plan.
And recently, Michelle, through the school,
they were offered a plan.
And so, we did a simple assessment.
And they, I don't think they paid any,
or maybe they paid a percentage of hers.
But I don't know what percentage they covered if any.
But net net, because they have many, many more employees
through the villages, we made the transition
from my own darn company plan to Michelle's,
because it costs a lot less.
And so, we have, I don't do dental or eye insurance.
I just pay for that.
And so, we just pay for cleanings and whatever cost.
And I don't do, I don't have any life insurance anymore.
I let all my policies last, and we don't need it.
If something happens to me, Michelle has enough money
and she'll sell the business, and she'll be fine.
So, we don't need life insurance anymore, so I don't have any.
And don't buy permanent life insurance only by term insurance.
Let's see, where was I?
Press all, the launch collection.
Oh, sorry, I missed one.
Press all squeeze bottle labels.
I don't think it's going to work.
I'm testing it, but I don't think you'll ever be able to have a label.
We come up with some interesting ideas,
which we're working on, on how to put some sort of label on them.
But they're, they're, they're LDPE.
And so, you know, your label is going to get all crinkled and bunched up.
And separated.
So, I'm not sure what we have some ideas.
Hey, Matt, one of the floating shelves launch in the next month or so.
Ryan from Find Detailing is in here.
Happy Friday.
Same to you.
Let's see, Cameron Washington says,
probably a PRX system or rep wall mount, Aries 2.0.
I don't know.
I would want to do rogue.
And that way new, new press all bottles are not available in the UK.
Working on it.
So, they are available at the sprayers are available at clean and shiny.
Not the black ones, but the translucent.
The blacks aren't yet.
And the squeeze bottles aren't yet.
They'll be at John and clean and shiny.
And right company on the UK.
Ever find out what's inside of the air fresh bags?
No, I didn't look.
Some sort of like wood chips or something.
But oh, he was talking about the material.
No, it's still on my list.
Next time I talk to Doug and Ken out, I'll find out for you.
Will we be able to retrofit the 635 for the FU carbon fiber shell?
That's a good question.
Maybe.
It'd probably be pretty expensive.
But maybe we should sell an upgrade path.
I don't know.
I think it's probably going to be cheaper.
We're going to just sell yours.
And like, this is what I would do.
I wouldn't wait for it.
But I would buy the 635 hot today.
And then if we come out with some prettier, cooler version and you wanted it.
And it was priced at a price you were willing to pay.
Then maybe you do it then.
Sell your old one.
Do you think armor pro coating will play well with ultra-fit matte PPF?
The PPF has a coating, but debating if I should put that on top or not.
Did you do the GT4 yet?
Nope.
I just took the coatings to HQ.
It's finishing up the cabinets there.
And then he'll finish up the pre-vose piping and hose reels.
So I'm planning on doing the GT4 in the coming weeks.
I think it will be fine.
Just test the spot and see what it looks like.
Cars with heat, getting my 635, I was planning to buy from you.
But I had to have it fast on the video, LOL.
I will have your affiliate link for it, though.
Thanks, man.
Yeah, it's so goofy.
Gosh.
I always get screwed, but whatever.
Thanks, we'll send any email.
Are they at the support?
Washing in the middle of Colorado.
Winter in the garage with hot water going through my friends.
The 622 is a must.
Yep.
Matt, what do you recommend first?
America 3-inch or Ruppes new Nano.
I think I would do, assuming you have a 5-inch,
I think I would do a 1-inch first.
Because you could do more, you could do everything on the 1-inch.
It just takes more time than a 3-inch.
You could get into all those areas.
And then I think I would do the 3-inch last.
Especially because the new Ruppes Nano, I need to put it through his paces.
But it has a lot more torque and it installs much.
Let's see, Alex R3510 with Tesla FSD being so good,
why do you think it hasn't given you the confidence to get out more?
So, how do I explain this?
Forget the car.
So my current phobia or problem is,
let's say I go to Ryan's football game or basketball game.
And I go there and I'm sitting in the stands and I feel trapped.
And I start to have this adrenaline rush that wells up
and I feel like I'm going to pass out.
And then I'm definitely afraid of passing out.
And then I have all this kind of crazy sort of feeds on itself.
So theoretically, you would think, you know,
just I'm sitting in a chair at a basketball game.
And there's no one around, there's no big deal.
Not even a lot of people around me, just an JV basketball game.
And shouldn't be a big deal, I should be able to just stay present
and get out of it and just be here.
And I can't.
The good news is that, you know, so this has kind of come back around.
I was, this wasn't happening for a while,
so now I go to a thing and I'm looking for my exit strategy.
It's kind of like somebody who's like a condition
to like figure out where the exits are
and never sit with your back to the exit or, you know, that kind of thing.
But mine's in a fear response.
And so when I sit in the Tesla, you'd be so logical
that you sit in there, you hit drive
and you don't do anything and I'm just sitting there.
But yet, again, there's no rational thought here.
It's just pure panic and meltdown.
I'm definitely afraid of passing out and I can't get out of it.
And so what I'm working diligently on right now
is getting into hardcore ketosis and see if maybe my chemical balance.
See if I, you know, maybe getting into ketosis,
there's been some data that's shown that if you're in, you know,
a proper state of a ketogenic state that you have less anxiety,
have less tendencies for, you know, mental health disorder
because you're, you know, chemically in balance.
But what I, my lesson learned because now I'm doing blood testing.
So I'm testing, pricking my finger and testing it.
When I think I'm in ketosis, I'm not even close.
So I'm working diligently to get into ketosis right now.
I'm doing a 72 hour sardine fast, right?
It's sardines twice a day.
And what I think I need, because like,
let's say if you take an SSRI, you take some sort of medication.
It takes like 12 months for, you know, you have to,
it's six months, at least three months for it to sort of,
for your body to adapt to it and for it to sort of,
for you to see a result.
And so what I've been doing, now I've lost a decent amount of weight.
I haven't hit my goal yet.
And I assume that I was probably in ketosis when I first started carnival,
just because I went from a, you know,
a carb heavy, you know, binge heavy insulin driven,
glucose driven, you know, diet, not by choice,
but by, you know, by addiction.
And then I would have like two, three weeks or so of,
like, solid, and then I would eat some like nuts
and some Annie's white cheddar bunnies or something like that.
And I'd throw myself out of ketosis,
and then I always assume that two or three days later,
I just go back on, I get back in ketosis,
but now that I'm doing testing,
and now that I'm much further removed and I'm much healthier,
I'm not coming off of a, you know, high insulin,
you know, insulin resistant type diet,
type physiology where when I was 250 pounds and sloppy.
And so I think that my thesis here is that if I can get solidly
into a prolonged period of using ketones for energy
and then just not have those cheats like every week or so,
where I think I'm throwing myself out and then getting back in,
and what I'm finding now, I'm very resistant to making ketones for fuel.
And so, I mean, I'm two weeks in and I still haven't gotten into ketosis.
I got into the light ketosis twice,
and even just eating steak and eggs, I'm not in ketosis.
So I'm doing a, you know, trying to force it with a sardine fast.
I'll probably, I'm probably in it right now,
almost close this morning.
And so tomorrow morning I'll wake up,
I'll be 54 hours fasted,
and the telling the sardine fast thing,
sardines aren't that bad, I bought some fancy ones.
And I'll tell you more about it once I get going here,
but once I get into this ketogenic state,
I need to just stay there.
And so what I, when I talked about this inside the hex,
the video little gop, you know, this, you know,
this weekend or Monday,
I think that I need to get into ketosis,
maintain it, sustain it, don't break it,
and then I probably need like three, four, five, six months of that.
And then what I'm hoping is,
then let's say that I'm mentally sort of phobic
or scared while I'm sitting and thinking I'm going to get,
you know, that adrenaline rush, because what happens is,
this, the thought, the worry feeds on itself,
and then I lose track of reality,
and then I get into this fight or flight panic mode,
and I've had this ultimate fear I'm going to pass out.
And so if I'm in grounded in reality,
and if I'm not having a chemical reaction,
and this is what happened when I first started Carnival,
or I could go anywhere and do anything outside of driving,
and I was getting, you know, getting better at it,
if I don't have the response, the physical response,
then I won't, and I have some positive events
that I won't go there, and maybe I can drive a car down the road.
So I've got to do what I say I'm going to do,
or I've told myself I'm going to do it, I've got to commit.
And I think what it may involve is an actual, like, just,
like, I don't have to exercise any discipline
to not drink alcohol.
It just doesn't occur to me.
It's just not something I've never had a drink of alcohol.
I've never crave it, I never think about it.
It never occurred to me.
I don't have to, like, not drink it.
It's just not something I do.
I don't have to do that also with soda or sugary drinks.
It's just not something I'm interested in,
not something I'm addicted to, but I'm going to have,
and I think maybe if I can do that with processed foods
and potato chips and all the seas, cookie-cake crackers candy,
it just doesn't exist for me.
I think I can still have a great life.
I've had a great life without alcohol,
I've had a great life without, you know, drinking soda.
I think that I can't handle it.
It's like, you know, if you're an alcoholic,
you can't just have, like, you can't just break your sobriety
and just have a drink, you know, every once in a while,
you know, generally speaking, it's like all or nothing.
Oh, we're back.
Okay.
I'm sorry about that.
I don't know what the heck is going on.
It just froze.
Maybe the internet.
So, I go back to my questions here.
Ta-da-da-da.
Oh, five liter of tracelesses on a reserved spot.
I was looking getting some for myself.
Oh, okay.
Got it.
That makes sense.
We must have more coming.
Okay.
Matt, do you have any complaints about the Rivian at all?
I did like the Rivian.
It's a really high quality.
Rusty drives it.
He loves it.
I think it's awesome.
I mean, it doesn't have all the things that the,
that the Tesla has with, you know, with tech.
But it's decent.
I think it's a really nice vehicle.
Do you have any recommendation for coilovers for 9-11 brands,
setups, et cetera?
I think, I mean,
Olin's is always a good bet.
The thing to do would be to call,
the guys had done it.
And I think like MCS would be the way to go.
I generally don't like to mess with,
with a 9-11 suspension.
I've never done coilovers on a 9-11.
But if it's a base 9-11,
you want to lower it.
I'd be inclined to probably head down the KW
or the Olin's track,
or, you know, head up,
Dundin, and ask him about MCS
and what you should do there.
If you had that, those kind of funds.
And let's see.
Scotty Taylor.
Scott Taylor says,
Hey, man, I'm thinking of running two Crenzly K7s.
It should be around 3.7 gallons per minute.
Actually, I think it'll be a lot more than that.
The K7,
I forget where the K7 output is in Europe.
What size nozzle should I use?
In which orifice in the foam can?
So you're going to want a 1.5.
And you're going to have to just test the nozzles.
So you're going to want to buy.
If you're going to spend that much money,
just buy a pressure thingy.
You know, buy a little pressure gauge.
And easy to put it in there,
like 50 bucks or something like that.
And then you would want to get several different nozzles.
You're probably going to be somewhere
between a 6.0 and an 8.0.
But you got to kind of test it out
and see what works.
Let's see, Matt Zulkowski says
with these higher GPM pressure washers coming,
what is the max GPM from those dual 20-inch DI systems?
It's 10 gallons a minute.
What podcasts have you been listening to lately?
Joe Rogan, don't be sour.
And chase.
Don't be sour.
And Max and Joe and Christian and Shali all in.
Joe Rogan, I said,
that's what I've been listening to.
Sometimes I listen to Theo Vaughn because I think he's great.
Let's see.
Maurice says, now that you've tried both pressure washers,
if you had to choose one,
would you choose Crens or AR?
AR635, for sure.
Bobore says,
Matt, my new strategy is to do a 36 hour fast once a week.
I think it's pretty good.
It catapults me into ketosis,
using the keto mojo,
that's what I'm doing.
This way, if I fall out once a week,
I have the fast to get me back in.
Three-day water fast put me in full ketosis.
The 36 helped maintain.
Yeah, I mean, that's another option.
I've been following Dr. Annette Bosworth, Dr. Bos.
I actually signed up for her January 21 day curriculum
or 21 day or whatever thingy.
And I've been watching a lot of her stuff
and I got the sort of behind the scenes access
to watch the first part of the curriculum.
And so I decided to do, and it's way easier,
doing a sardine fast.
I'm eating just sardines.
And it's working pretty great, I think.
I feel great.
I'm not starving.
But I'm going to hit,
you know, when I wake up in the morning,
I'll be under 210.
So I'm going to hit a new low.
I saw 209.9 about three months ago.
And then I'm on creatine.
So I'm taking creatine, which makes me gain like five pounds.
You can see creatine in my shoulders.
Creatine for me is like frickin' rocket fuel.
It works really well for me.
But it makes me gain like five pounds instantly.
So I'm, it was 210.2 after the sun.
So I'm cheating a little bit.
After a four mile run, two and a half mile rock,
sony coal plunge, showered, took a couple of peas,
spit a little bit in the shower.
And I want to see, man, can I get to 209 again?
But I'm going to get it.
I'm convinced.
And I might go down to like 185.
Just get frickin' eight pack.
We'll see.
I've got plenty of fat that I can, you know,
I can drop.
And so I think that I'm like 16% body fat.
So if I dropped, say, 15 pounds from here,
so if I'm, you know, 195 or 190,
I'm going to be at like 12, right?
11.
So I'd be pretty sick.
And so I'm hoping this all comes together.
We'll see.
Yeah, so I talked about the Tesla FSD.
Alchemist, those six says,
what home theater audio solutions do you recommend
for an outdoor patio?
I was thinking Ambio Soundbar and Subwoofer,
I'd like rear speakers, any recommendation,
or will it even work with the soundbar?
I wouldn't do rear speakers.
If you're just watching TV and you're not using it from music,
then Ambio Max, with no Subwoofer,
will be the way to go.
Things great.
J. Strother, G1B says,
don't be sour, great,
and following their channels for a while now,
Joe's channel is great when he posts videos.
Yeah, Joe, Joe, I helped Joe early on years ago
when he was looking for exhaust on his GT3.
And we kind of became acquaintances from there
and have a few conversations on the phone,
texts every so often.
And then I've been following Christian for a number of years
and hopefully, and then Max,
because of those two guys.
And we're actually going to design Max's garage, I think,
and do, I'm helping him think of his home theater.
I've referred him to Matthew Pose
to do the home theater room design.
And so I'm going to try to talk those guys
and have me come out there and do all their garages
as they build all these new houses.
Anyway, I've got to shut down here
because I've got to get into our Middleton
Pro forma working on the Middleton showroom data.
So I'm hoping, you know,
I'll just tell me I'm late for the review of our spreadsheet
to find out that the numbers work for the village's showroom
because I ain't looking so good.
There's the first time in my business life
that I'm doing things by my gut and my hope and prey method
but we're going to do this logistically correctly
because I think that it's going to be necessary
for the future.
So to keep me sane and to make me not panic
and maybe I can drive these cars around.
So anyway, video is going up on Matt Warren's channel.
I have a LeaderMax video I'll put up
probably tomorrow morning.
I've got a vertical tool grid video.
I'm going to put up a
probably wash of the Tesla
and then I'm going to get my drawer video done
of the tour of everything in every drawer.
So I can go through all the parts and pieces
of every single thing.
And new mosaic stuff coming.
The new mosaic foam cannon.
There's a new iteration of it that's really promising.
It's really expensive.
These things are going to be game changers as well.
I can't even imagine what this does on an AR635.
It's turned your pressure washer into a nuke
for cleaning stuff around the house
and more gnarly stuff.
I've got a new use all that earlier
but I'm going to a new undercarriage cleaner
for four wheel drive vehicles
and I'm working on figuring out how to make it foam as well
with the touchless.
So anyway, thanks for watching.
I have this up on Apple, Spotify,
all the different platforms.
I'll put it up today or tomorrow.
And obviously, thanks for all your support.
Thanks for the super chat.
And I will see you guys next week.
See you soon.
