Small block, Chevy
A “small block Chevy” is a common Chevy V8 engine that a lot of people modify. It’s popular because it’s strong, and there are lots of parts and builders for it.
Car
Chevrolet Bel Air
The Chevrolet Bel Air is an older full-size car made by Chevrolet. It’s well known among classic-car fans and collectors. In the podcast, it’s referenced because someone is dealing with something from a Bel Air and wants to confirm it was checked.

flat-tap cam
The camshaft controls when the engine’s valves open and close. A “flat-tap” cam (as she describes it) sounds like a milder cam choice meant to keep the engine smooth and street-friendly.
Term
duration
Cam duration is how long the valves stay open. A longer duration usually makes power at higher RPMs, while a shorter one helps the engine feel stronger and smoother at lower speeds.
Term
torque
Torque is the engine’s twisting force. More torque usually means the car feels stronger and pulls harder, especially when you’re not revving at the very top.
Brand
AFR street heads
AFR is an aftermarket cylinder-head brand, and “street heads” refers to a street-friendly performance cylinder head intended to make good power without being overly race-only. The speaker also specifies “195cc,” which is the intake port volume that influences airflow and power characteristics.

Term
new transmission
The transmission is what helps the engine send power to the wheels through different gear ratios. She’s saying she put in a new one, but the car still isn’t staying trouble-free.
Term
ride height
Ride height is how high or low the car sits relative to the ground. If you lower it for looks, it can change how the car handles and how much clearance it has.
Term
suspension
Suspension is what helps the car ride smoothly and keeps the tires planted. She’s saying she lowered it for the look, but that makes the suspension not work the way it’s supposed to.
Concept
stance
“Stance” is the look of how the car sits—usually how low it is and how the wheels sit in the arches. People chase that style, even if it can make the ride less comfortable.
Car
Chevrolet Nova
A 1967 Chevrolet Nova is a classic muscle car from the late 1960s. She’s saying she had it rebuilt from the ground up—so it’s not just a quick refresh, it’s a major restoration.

brake fluid
Brake fluid is the fluid that carries the force from your brake pedal to the brakes. If it leaks, the brakes can feel soft or stop working.
Term
327
“327” is the engine’s size—327 cubic inches. Bigger displacement generally means the engine can move more fuel/air, which changes how it drives.
Term
spun bearing
It means the engine’s internal bearing got overheated or stopped being properly lubricated. Once that happens, it can damage the crankshaft and you may need major engine work.
Term
383
“383” is shorthand for a bigger-displacement V8 build (383 cubic inches). Bigger displacement often means more torque, which helps with acceleration and fun driving.

A camshaft controls when and how much the engine’s valves open. Changing to “Howard’s cam” is a way to tune the engine’s power to feel stronger where you want it.
Term
roller cam
Your engine’s camshaft controls when the valves open and close. A “roller cam” uses rollers on the lifters to reduce friction, which can help the engine run harder and last longer.
Term
195cc
That “195cc” number is about the size of the airflow passages in the cylinder heads. Bigger passages can help the engine breathe better at higher RPM, but it has to match the rest of the build.

Term
flat roof
They’re calling out a “flat roof” version of the car. It’s basically describing the roof shape/look they’re aiming for. In car projects, that kind of detail can matter a lot for the final style.
Concept
buying a chassis
They’re talking about buying the car’s main structure first. Instead of buying a whole finished car, you start with the foundation and then build the rest around it. That lets you choose what you want to put together.
Term
compression
Compression is how much pressure an engine can build inside its cylinders. If it’s low, the engine may be worn out or have leaks that keep it from running well.
Term
cam specs
Cam specs are the “settings” of the camshaft that control when the engine’s valves open and close. Those settings change how the engine feels—whether it makes power low in the rev range or higher up.
Term
LSA
LSA (lobe separation angle) is the angle between the camshaft lobes for the intake and exhaust. It influences idle quality, overlap, and the engine’s overall torque curve—tighter LSA often increases overlap and can make the engine sound more aggressive.
LIVE
So I have a very corporate job,
so this side of me, when people find out,
they're like, what?
It had piston slap,
and it had been bored out to the point
that you couldn't bore it anymore.
Like there was like nothing left.
Small block, Chevy, you know?
Yeah, small block, yeah.
So I went back to the builder,
and I'm like, okay, I know the original motor,
you dropped in here, spun it bearing,
and you put this piece of shit in
that you pulled out of a Bel Air.
Like did you check it?
Like what's happening?
So he gave me a bit of money back,
and then I ended up just buying the short block.
My regret is that I didn't go 383,
but my insight is what it is.
And then I just set her up to be a cruiser,
so it was like entry level heads,
like it wasn't really, you know,
I still had the flat-tap cam in there,
not a big duration, yada, yada, yada.
And I drove it for a season,
and then I was like, we need more torque.
Like I want to have some fun with my track.
So then I pulled the engine again.
I retrofitted to Howard's cam,
and I did the roller cam in it.
I did AFR street heads in it, the 195cc,
and then I did their air intake manifold as well.
I want you to hear me coming before you see me.
You want it to be more like...
I want to set up alarms.
Like, I always say I want my shit rowdy.
What do you do professionally for a living?
Natural gas and electric company.
Design and implement and manage behavior change programs
for energy efficiency.
Break that down for us because we're not...
So basically, anybody could put their truck on a chassis.
You want RS, and if you don't, like, you're an idiot.
I'm sorry.
I mean, I would agree with that, but I...
I like the way I feel with camo.
I just do.
I love camo.
It's like flame GI juice.
I'd compare them to a cat.
Oh, a cat, yeah.
Like, they don't like a lot of people.
You gotta kind of win its affection.
I don't like that, but I get it.
And that's why Kevin probably likes you.
Kevin doesn't like me.
Kevin's my cat.
Oh, Kevin's your cat.
Oh, your cat person?
Well, yeah.
He owns a cat and no other animal.
So by default, he's a cat person.
It's a cat with spots on it.
It's a small tiger closer to a cheetah
than it is like a domestic cat.
It's what you'd call pretentious.
When have I ever actually, like, seriously hurt you?
You're a saint.
No, it's not like that.
Have any of my comments...
97 to 99% of the things you say cut to the bone.
No.
No.
That's a pretty good win percentage.
No, no, no.
You guys are my fucking...
Okay.
Welcome back to another episode of Oil and Whiskey,
presented by HPTuners.
This week, we have probably one of the farthest traveling,
I would have to say, guests that we've had.
We have Alicia Marie from...
from Canada.
Yep.
All the way up there in Canada.
Thanks for having me.
I'm stoked to be here.
Thanks for coming.
Yeah, thanks for coming.
Glad we could put this together.
Yeah, you've been Roadster Shop adjacent for quite some time.
You know, running some similar circles that cross over sometimes.
You've been to the party in SEMA a couple of times.
That was like...
I got to go two years ago was my first party,
and that was like the bucket list.
And I remember I didn't have tickets,
and it was Thomas from PHP that got me tickets.
Yeah, Thomas took care of it, for sure.
There's always the last minute,
hey man, I got it.
I'm not supposed to say that.
They had to purchase them.
They had to purchase them.
That never happens.
It costs a little bit more.
It's the best party.
Hands down.
It's a fun time.
It's the best.
It's a fun time.
And nobody ended up in the pool last year.
Oh, it's shocked us.
Are you guys going to have it there?
Yeah.
Same place.
Bring your bikini.
It goes for both of you.
A little Speedo act.
Wear mine all the time.
Stay ready.
Get ready.
I'll bring you Canadian Speedos.
There you go.
With a flag on them and everything.
Mix them up.
A little Canadian.
Maybe you take the Canadian.
I'll go stars and bars.
Yeah, we'll do it.
A little Breslin, maybe.
And this is...
Yeah.
Not going to go well.
Yeah, so no.
Nobody has gotten in the pool.
The first year we ever did it...
The first year.
Someone got lost.
SLS, there was a little pool situation.
We've always been concerned with having a pool on the premises
just because of our people.
Standard Murphy's Law.
The very first party we did had that pool access.
And from the start, from the inception,
they kept saying, hey, pool is off limits.
Make sure you don't have anybody jump in the pool.
It happens all the time.
People get drunk, jump in the pool,
and nobody's going to do that.
We're responsible.
Not a problem.
Like, it's first time party,
you're not knowing really how wild it might get.
As soon as they said nobody in the pool,
of course, that's the time that's going to happen.
Fast forward to last year.
The new venue has ten times the amount of pool.
And they're like, yeah, do what you got to do.
If somebody wants to get in the pool, we don't care.
Get in the pool.
And nobody gets in the pool.
When it's like, you know, available, nobody cares.
So there's a goal in here, so let's sort it out there.
100 bucks to the first person to jump in the pool.
And Josh is going to give you the 100 bucks.
Yeah.
Yeah, this could go...
I need to make sure that they're still okay with it.
You got to swim over here and wrestle it from me.
I see...
Cousin Mike, he's ended up in the pool.
And there's two ways I see that happen.
One is you and him get after it.
Feets of strength.
And I think you'll...
I'll say this about it.
I'll say something nice about you.
You would defeat him.
And Cousin Mikey would end up in the pool.
Other way, I see Cousin Mikey being that body
that's just floating face down in the pool
at the end of the night.
You're like poking it.
You're like, what?
Is that all that fucking Cousin Mikey?
He's been face down for 13 minutes.
And then...
No problem.
You've never met Cousin Mikey, have you?
I don't know who this is.
So Cousin Mikey's coming off of a big win.
So he just debuted a black OBS Tahoe at Columbus
that Jesse Greening just built.
So it's pretty good looking.
We just maybe should pull it up real quick.
Got a little bit of coverage on the old social media.
Cousin Mikey's a friend of the show and a friend of us.
And he is, like we said, coming off of a...
I can't speak in type at the same time.
Cars, Mike.
How has he not changed his Instagram?
He's got four or five other hundred things
to change before he gets to that.
I mean, Cars, Mike, 1997, it's pretty fucking bad.
But if you change it, you lose everything you've been tagged in.
Like me, I'm Alicia Marie Six-Seven.
You know how many dudes are like,
your drugs known as Six-Seven.
I'm like, no shit.
Like, thanks.
But I have a Sixty-Seven number, too.
I probably didn't make it up to Canada yet.
So this is his new OBS that he just debuted.
It's his son with shame, full look on his face.
He's got a ride with his dad.
Good looking truck.
Very nice.
They did an amazing job.
And Mikey gets a lot of good old fashioned ribbing
from the friend group, right?
The guys.
He gets made fun of a lot.
Yeah, quite a bit.
He was on his best behavior this past weekend.
He was riding high, though, too.
Short of tucking his shirt in.
Like, Mikey was on great behavior.
I think he was.
That was the only thing he was missing with the new persona.
He was terrified of fucking up, fucking doing something
and being his show right before this last year,
the last show he was at, he's got a bitchin' ass
square body S10.
All original, great paint, low mileage.
Low front crossmember.
Yeah, low front crossmember, it's lowered right.
Not painted tension, catches a manhole cover,
centered up on the crossmember, puts Jesse Greening
through the windshield.
Oh, it was embarrassing because we pulled back in the hotel
and it's taco.
The front wheels are up through the fenders.
And it looks like it's a general league that got jumped
like Dukes of Hazard.
Like, it's that fucked up.
So I think he was terrified.
Yeah, he definitely was.
That incident, though, like, it's bad enough that
Kaz and Mikey fucked the truck up, but hurting Jesse Greening.
I mean, Jesse's an important guy to the industry.
Yeah.
And to take him out.
Luckily, his beard absorbed most of the impact, I think.
Sorry.
So we gave you a little background on Kaz and Mikey.
Kaz and Mikey will be...
You shouldn't be.
You shouldn't be.
He was at the party last year and...
You might remember the guy who completely fucking choked on stage.
He got super nervous and didn't know what to say.
That was him.
I think I missed half of it because, like, I was playing dice
for the entire show.
Do you play with their dice?
You bring your own.
Okay.
So that's the only way.
That's the only way to do it.
Because I think...
These are...
Yeah, those are from...
Huh.
Hmm.
Wow.
Are yours weighted as well, like Kevin's?
Those are from Kevin, so...
Probably.
They could be rigged.
Are you from the hood in Canada?
Where...
The hood?
Yeah.
Tell me about the hood in Canada.
Well, I don't know.
I don't spend a lot of time in Canada,
but rolling dice is not exactly something that...
This has been brought.
This is a West Coast...
I only brought them for the show.
They actually sent my office as, like, a souvenir.
I'm not running around.
You guys, you want to play dice?
You want to play dice?
The dice thing is taken over the West Coast shows.
That's it, really?
Yeah.
It's been Jeremy Treyfive and Kevin Scrape.
It's became a thing.
So, okay.
I'll tell you about something funny about...
Tell me about it.
Okay.
But let's have some whiskey first.
We got to talk about the whiskey.
So, I have to tell you about this.
Yes.
So, I'm in Vancouver and because of the tariffs to get back at you guys,
we don't have American whiskey or bourbon on our shelves.
You showed us.
That'll show us.
Did that hurt?
Yeah.
So, I have Canadian whiskey.
So, I actually don't know what this tastes like.
I've never tried it.
So, they recommended it to me.
Let's give it a shot.
But I brought you maple syrup in case it tastes like shit.
And we can just add a little...
We can add a little maple syrup.
I was talking about maple syrup.
I was supposed to ask you about a maple log.
Oh, yeah.
This is bizarre.
Okay.
You do this and we'll talk about the maple log.
So, what's a maple log to you guys?
It's a long John.
It's a...
A long John, yes.
It's a maple long John.
A long John.
I would have no idea.
But it's a long John.
My mind would go someplace else.
A maple log is the most common terminology for here in America.
It's a long John dipped in maple syrup.
It's a donut.
It's a long John.
Okay.
But you know what a long John is?
Yeah.
And would you call it a long John?
I do.
I call it...
I like chocolate long John's.
So, I call it a long John.
Thank you.
I won this.
So, the long John part is the funny part?
Yeah.
He thought long...
He was like, no.
It's a maple...
What was it?
A maple bar?
Maple bar.
Stupidest thing ever.
Maple bar.
I've heard long John before.
I've heard maple bar.
It's called a long John at Dunkin Donuts.
Didn't they pioneer that?
I feel like that's their...
Or maybe Tim Hortons did in Canada.
So, there you go.
Fuck Timmy Hortons.
We just...
That's the bone I had to pick.
All right, go ahead.
I gotta leave now.
I gotta leave.
Bye.
We were looking forward to this.
Fire away.
It's all you.
I've heard about Timmy Hortons for years, and Canadians just swear by it.
It's the most amazing thing ever.
It is a shit-ass version of Dunkin Donuts, which isn't good to begin with either.
We were so excited.
I mean, it's going probably 10 miles out of the way to get Timmy Hortons for breakfast
in Columbus.
Where were you?
Columbus.
Oh, we have Tim Hortons in Columbus.
Yeah.
And then, like, old, you know...
Wow.
It was not good.
I think everyone threw away at least.
I threw away a chocolate cake donut.
Yeah.
How do you fuck up a chocolate cake donut?
They fucked up a glazed donut.
I ate all four of my donuts.
I figured it out.
Yeah.
Even though they were bad donuts.
The one...
I ate as many donuts as I purchased.
It's...
I think we might have gotten a bad shake on that, though, because I've had it in, like,
Michigan, Detroit area.
I didn't know we had them in the States.
I think that the tariffs in exchange has screwed the American version up.
I've never had any other ones, but that much hype about something, it couldn't be that
bad.
It had to be a bad experience at that one location.
Out of Canada, do you think I eat at Tim Hortons?
No.
So it's just overblown everywhere, then.
I don't see what the big deal is.
Okay.
They're coffee like you just smoked crack.
Really?
Yeah.
I didn't know if it was like our Waffle House.
Because Waffle House is maybe like a cliche American thing, but it's good.
It hits every time.
That's good.
That's really good, right?
And also, average is, what, 40%?
I brought you guys 56.
Oh, who?
I'm going to get you guys so drunk.
That's 112.
That's...
This is really good.
That is...
100% Canadian-owned.
That's delicious.
See?
We have good things in Canada.
You do.
I know.
That's why we're going to annex it.
Yeah.
We're coming.
We're going to have all of it.
There won't be any trade anymore.
Can you include me in that?
Yeah, we're taking all of Canada.
It'll just be Northern Montana.
Hey, Alberta is all on board for that.
That's where I'm originally from.
Well, Alberta is...
Most of Canada would be on board.
Where is the French Canadian?
They're next to Alberta.
So that's where Coulter Wall is from, which seems cool, because he's cool.
It's straight up from Montana.
Pretty much all of Western Canada would be more...
We're...
B.C. is like the California of Canada.
Yeah, once you get too far west, then it crosses that.
Yeah, so we're going to tax everything and make it so unaffordable for you to live here
and have a little communist province.
Good times.
Good times.
We can't get whiskey unless it's Canadian.
You had caribou?
Caribou crossing?
Caribou crossing.
It's a Canadian.
It's the one that's like the Blantons of the North.
It's in the square bottle.
It's got the gold caribou on top of it.
That's quite nice.
That's one of my options.
I didn't know if you've had it before, though.
Are you a big whiskey drinker?
That's all...
Yeah, my parents were worried about me coming on here drinking whiskey.
Let's get after it.
It's all I drink.
Are your parents going to watch?
Yes.
What are their names?
We're going to say hello.
John and Doreen.
John and Doreen.
Those get classic parent names.
Right.
Yeah, John and Doreen.
Who?
John and Doreen.
John and Doreen are going to dislike the most out of all this.
Probably you, because I didn't like you when I first met you, either.
I'll probably smoke something at some point, too, to...
So...
I'm not a fan of mine.
We're going to talk about that?
Yeah, I guess so, because I heard it a good bit this weekend.
You're right over where you go.
I'm sure you've heard it your entire life, dude.
I have.
I've tried to change, though.
I try to smile more when I meet people.
I try to act more interested, even though I'm not.
You probably shouldn't play that card or show that card, because now everybody you talk
to is going to be like, you know, listen to me.
Well, then that...
It should be interesting.
I really do like to meet new people, and it's just like my face.
It fills my cup.
It's just how I...
I don't know why...
We're going to get into it.
I don't know why you didn't like me at the beginning.
However, going forward, I'm going to ask you a question.
If everybody knows the truth of like, hey, this is just kind of how I am, wouldn't you
be more excited if I do, like, engage?
Because it means I do...
I mean, I am interested.
And if I give you just a little bit, that means...
Would you rather be fake it?
No, I don't want anybody to ever fake it.
So I will say that we just spent like two hours together.
I was so nervous to meet you.
You guys I've met before, and like, it's so nice.
I talked to you last year.
I was like, these guys are good.
You...
They're the fake ones.
I was a little nervous.
Talk so much shit.
But I cracked the ice.
I broke that wall down a little bit.
And you're good shit.
He's like...
I'm not a dick.
He's like a...
He is a dick.
But he's like a cat.
I'd compare him to a cat.
Oh, a cat.
Yeah.
Like, they don't want to have a cat.
They're very standard.
They don't like a lot of people.
You got to kind of win its affection.
Yeah.
It's...
I don't like that, but I get it.
It's actually probably pretty accurate.
And that's why Kevin probably likes you.
Kevin doesn't like me.
Yeah.
Because you're a dick?
No, because he's like a cat.
Because I'm like a cat.
Kevin, the cat.
Kevin's a dick, too.
Kevin's my cat.
Oh, Kevin's your cat.
Kevin's a cat, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You're a cat person?
Well, you could say that.
Yeah, he owns a cat and no other animal.
So by default, he's a cat person.
Well, he could have a cat and a dog.
Yeah, the dog died, Josh.
It's great.
Have some fucking sympathy.
But right now, there is no dog.
Who wanted the cat?
Was that your wife?
Your kids?
Or...
No, that was you.
I heard you talk about this.
Isn't it like a leopard cat?
It is.
It's a cool cat.
It's a cat with spots on it.
It's a small tiger closer to a cheetah than it is like a domestic cat.
It's what you'd call pretentious.
A super pretentious cat.
So look at me.
I got a fancy cat.
Yeah.
I hope Kevin fucking mauls you one day.
Some others in the sleep.
But it is a problem with you, Josh.
I can...
I was especially being in sales.
Especially being in sales.
I was like, this guy's in marketing and sales and he's like this.
Wow.
But it can come around really, really quick.
Change that work chart around a little bit.
It's just like if you don't...
If we don't have enough interaction and I can't give you enough,
sometimes I can come across that way.
And I assume this is a short...
Tell the story.
I'd like to know exactly what I did so I could learn from it.
So it was two years ago at your party.
And I was with Scrape and Thomas and all those guys.
And you guys had come up and they introduced me to all of you.
And for me, I was like, oh my goodness.
Like, wow, I'm meeting these guys.
This is like super cool for a little old me.
And we were standing in a circle talking and you would talk.
And you would talk and you would look at everybody else and you wouldn't look at me.
And I was like...
And I was just like, that's disrespectful.
Like, why will he not talk to me?
Well, the rest of them men.
They were all dudes.
It says even worse about me.
I apologize.
I will say that...
I don't want to make you feel bad.
I didn't want to...
This is kind of what this is known for.
Let's make him feel bad.
Maybe we need to workshop this and see how we can not get him to be like that.
I'm going to make a couple of excuses.
You got a couple of easy outs you can take here.
Well, one, the party is very difficult.
You're pretty locked in.
There's a lot going on.
I'm going to try and do better that because I do get overly stressed and focused.
I can't have as much fun as I would like to have because I am overly focused on making sure everything's going right.
But I do get in my own head about the stuff.
I can come across as pissed off, but I'm thinking.
Also, I didn't know you.
I'd like to have met you.
You just ignored me.
I just ignored you.
I didn't want to make it uncomfortable.
I've got also a thing.
I can't look pretty women in the eyes.
If everybody wants to know, I just can't do it.
It's like the Austin Powers kind of the mole thing.
As soon as you draw attention, I'm telling myself, don't be awkward.
But I'm looking away the whole time and it comes across as being a dickhead.
However, a lot of guys say that I'm a dickhead too.
So it's not just that.
It's a lot of things that I have bad about me.
I can't find the right word.
It's just who you are.
It's a demeanor.
You're just like, which is fine.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But see, it doesn't take long once we can interact.
We didn't get an opportunity to talk about it.
But I didn't think you guys were dickheads.
Well, I appreciate that.
Thank you.
You're nice up front.
No, I've dealt with it my whole life.
Now I feel bad.
I'm sure you wish you were taller.
I wish I was nicer.
There's some things you just can't change.
You said another mean thing.
That's not mean.
Why would I wish I was taller?
Do you wish you were taller?
How long have you guys known each other?
Probably like 15, 20 years.
How long?
20 years almost.
It's been 2005.
21 years.
You guys have a very brotherly banter.
Yeah.
It's good for your self-confidence and mental health.
The best thing about this is...
Is there something in shoes or hugs
or something that you were wearing?
You were rousing him on one of the shows about shoes.
Don't bring up the fucking shoes.
Are you serious?
This is what you guys can go back and forth on pretty easily.
I apologize to the listeners because this whole podcast is going to be us just
trashing Josh.
We just had a shoe situation.
Another one.
At the show.
Yeah, we did.
Saturday morning I come down from the hotel room.
That's not a shoe situation.
It was a combination of the shoes and the shorts.
The shorts I was a choice.
I was excited about the shorts.
Phil slept in.
I come down and there is...
Every morning the same kind of thing happens at every show.
Josh is always the first one down.
He's down there smoking a cigarette outside.
Whether it's in Vegas and he's down in the casino.
I don't smoke like that.
He's smoking a cigarette.
He's smoking a cigarette.
Phil's usually running late.
I get down there.
There's Josh.
He's got camouflage cargo shorts on
with bright red, brand new Chuck Taylor's.
I look at it and I said...
I don't think that's bad.
You didn't see it.
Do we have a picture?
No.
I saw the good guy.
You were walking late to do your...
Short of having a flat...
It wasn't that good.
Flat bill hat.
It was Fred Durst.
You literally put that on
and it didn't cross your mind that I was going to make fun of you
when you got down here?
It did.
My feeling of what I like...
You've known this about me for a long time.
I like
the way I feel with camo one.
I just do. I love camo.
You couple it with
cargo shorts
that spend my jam for a long time.
However, for the last 15 years
it has not been in style.
Camo?
Cargo shorts in general.
It's just coming back.
Cargo shorts are back.
That's what I did.
I said, yes, and I bought
some camo cargo shorts.
Did you buy them or bring out the old ones?
No, the old ones all got thrown out
because I wore them too long and my daughter and wife said
the only way for you to stop is we throw them out.
So, I had to get new ones.
I think they're red vans. I don't know.
Not vans, Chuck Taylor's.
Nothing wrong with red chucks.
I'm going to have to slide with him.
I feel like that's okay.
It's not like he's wearing crocs. Do we wear crocs?
No.
No.
Nobody wears crocs.
I think my dad hasn't.
Those are fine.
That's a great shoe for
around the house.
He's retired?
He's like a young retired though.
If he ever thought he didn't look cool,
they're 71, 72, they're still riding motorcycles.
Maybe he doesn't know that he doesn't look cool in the crocs.
Maybe you should tell him that he doesn't.
Maybe he listens to this podcast.
Yeah, exactly.
Let's
move off the crocs.
I was up at the lake,
and it was my worst nightmare,
and I had gone into the storage thing,
and I looked and I was like,
oh my god, my dad had a pair of white new balance.
And I was like, no.
Like the dad ones.
Oh.
They weren't cool.
They were the white new balance.
The prosthetic looking ones?
I will say as we get older,
still try to hip it up a little bit.
It is amazing when you
are conscious
and make a conscious decision on footwear
when you start being a little bit more
mature.
I bet that's going to be a comfortable shoe.
That shoe is a little bit more comfortable.
And then you stop wearing
some other shoes that normally you would have always wore
because you're like, you know what, I just can't do it anymore.
These are too uncomfortable to wear all day.
I've had to bump my heels down at work
because my feet just can't do it anymore.
I'm wearing like a kitten heel now.
A kitten heel?
That's a small heel.
Like a bump.
Yeah.
I'm a heel.
If you're going to wear a heel, wear a heel.
Those trainer heels, those big thick
chunky heels and all that stuff.
Those are all back in.
The 90s, it's terrible.
It's something, yeah, terrible.
But it's back in.
Are low rise jeans coming back?
I hope so.
No.
Low rise jeans.
I literally have something on there where I was like
C-10s are in and low rise jeans.
They're back in.
My formidable
years.
Those are like the mom jeans.
Right here.
Those are
they're back.
It's a whole thing.
So
yeah.
The industry can get behind that.
That time when
you were impressionable
and things were imprinted
on you for life,
low rise jeans
basically
exactly what you're wearing in that picture right there.
Hard to wear though.
When I go
and take pictures after I wrap my finger around
my belt buckle and pull my pants up
and then I one hand it.
I was probably
more impressionable on some
little trash here.
So they usually had the
young Josh here.
Were you tied up on the sides?
No, maybe a little bit.
Josh enjoyed a good whale tail.
That's a thong poking out the back
of low rise jeans.
I learned something new today.
Yeah, it's a certain type of lake.
I've never heard of whale tail.
Yeah, it looks like a whale tail.
I put it together as soon as he said it,
but I've never heard that before.
So we've done
everybody's being nice to each other, right?
We've gotten it out of our system.
Yeah.
I wonder if I'll ever run out of
things to be mean to you about.
I doubt it.
I think I do. I've got one last thing
to say before we move on.
You're the quiet one and you just sit
there and wait and then
he's more mature.
Phil's a sniper.
It counts when he shoots.
I get that.
Phil throws so little ones out there,
but when he does, you're literally like,
oh dude, fuck dude.
We were all just joking around.
He's totally stupid
and ugly.
Dude, I did.
I gotta air something.
And I don't know if you, well,
I don't know. I'm gonna say it anyway.
When does it stop?
Because of the way that I treat Josh.
And Josh was in
kind of a bad mood. He had some things going on
last week.
And I'm pulling into work
and my phone's ringing.
I pull it out. It's Josh's wife.
What's Jody calling before?
So pick up the phone and
she's just being kind of like
short and a little awkward and then she's like,
hey, so can you just maybe
kind of be nice to Josh
this week?
He's like in a bit of a bad mood
and just
kind of like don't bust his balls
maybe this week.
So that's the reason you were nice.
Fuck, I thought we were turning the corner.
No.
My wife called and said, don't be mean
to the little boy today.
Holy shit.
Hey, tell him his outfit looks good.
Tell him his new outfit looks really good.
Jody, I like your cargo shorts.
Look how fast you can run into your new shoes.
I slipped a few compliments
that week. Was it noticeable?
It was.
He put a little note in your cargo pocket.
Do you guys like pump each other's tires on?
You're like, hey, you look good today.
We do some of that.
Those really mean a lot too
because you know it's like legit.
It's always preface with, hey,
don't let this go to your head
and I still think you're a fucking asshole.
But today, blah, blah, blah,
whatever compliment.
And that's enough of that. All right, now back to normal.
Those are nice shoes for a complete
fill in the blank.
But hey,
tell me what the best.
We've had a lot of these employee
podcasts that we've done recently
and it's been really fun.
We should do some more of those.
And we go through the,
tell us what the most challenging thing
about working here and what some of their favorite
things about working here.
And I will say that
if you want to work some place
where you just can't wait
to get here and be lifted up
by those around you and then you leave
in such a good mood of like,
hell yeah.
They affirmed my abilities today
and told me that I was this and we lifted each other.
This probably ain't the place for you.
I didn't know which way this was going to go.
Probably not the place for you.
If you want to have thick skin
and you want to learn
to
get after it and
suck it up, rub a little dirt on it
and know that if you get a compliment
it's 100%
warranted
and true.
Versus just like sugarcoat and bullshit all the time.
I also think there's like a standard you have to live up to
working here.
You guys are Roadster Shop.
Yeah, there definitely is.
There's a standard.
There's some dress code choices.
Some of these young kids we went to
and I was like, it's so cool to see how
I don't know if I'm just getting old.
We're getting old.
Everybody's so young
and it's really cool to see a lot of young guys
entering
this kind of stuff because I feel like it's all about computers.
Nobody really wants to do the labor, the work.
No, there's
I think it's shifting. There's a lot of young kids.
I mean we even got younger that are like
in high school trying to
like what do I got to do?
I want to do things with my hands.
I want to do this stuff. It's like a renaissance.
It's a changing of like...
We got an awesome parking lot to go outside
and see all the Camaro's and Fox body
Mustangs and a bunch of guys got square bodies
and it's really cool.
The only thing is cool is all the
I mean the C10's
the Fox body is still like that
and it's so awesome
but then you realize when you start talking to them
like how old they view
that car
and you're like
it's like they're driving a 69 Camaro
back when we were in high school
That car would have been like us
Model T
Well that's what I was saying, like the Mustangs
I dated a guy when I was like
17 and that's all he drove was these Mustangs
and I was like what this is cool now
No, I have like PTSD from this guy
Like old Mustangs or
Fox bodies
GT hatchbacks or trunk cars
He had both
He had the trunk car
Well they didn't
They moved me away from our province
and I had no friends and they were probably
just happy that I was getting out of the house at that point
That dude
He was a good dude wasn't he
No, he was a total loser
That's exactly where I was going with that
Oh god
I mean
But it doesn't seem
It doesn't seem like
Oh, shit
Most of those dudes are pretty cool
Yeah, no, he was not
He was not, that was like
Every once in a while we miss
Mistake
It was a trunk car, I could have told you that
But then he did go to a hatchback
But he
I don't even really get into it, he was a loser
But those cars don't seem like
they're that old because it doesn't seem like
that long ago
We've talked about a bunch on the podcast
Like the 97 Honda Civic
You pull up to a red light right now
you look at a 97 Honda Civic
You know what year it is, it's an older Civic
But it's a car
Right now, that car is
just as old as when we were in high school
looking at a 69 Camaro
Same distance
These cars are going to have the same nostalgia
and feeling
and that guy
I mean I guess, that's what happens
I can't relate to that
Just as impressionable on their
childhood is
We're seeing it, if you look out in the shop
there's an 80
It's an 89
Irock Camaro, there's an 89
GT
Mustang
The Mustang that customers
good friend of ours and he's building that
because that was cool when he was in high school
I don't know if he had one, but he's going down memory lane
and it's something
special, there's like a nostalgia about it
I guess it's weird to be that age
now
That's the problem with all this
I'm 30, by the way
But I think that's what I'm struggling with
where I'm like, okay I know how I feel
about my 68, but my grandma
is like, I don't know why you drive that old
truck and I'm like, really?
To her, so it's like
now I'm that age where it's a trip
It really is when you start
looking at the trip
Are you outside yelling at kids that are going too fast
on the road?
You're outside yelling at kids going too fast on the road
Slow it down
She's doing burnouts with him
100%, which I heard
you're the burnout master
You gotta get a little closer
It fills the driver
She mentioned earlier when we were doing
I want to learn to drive my truck like I stole it
I said there's only one person to teach you
and that'd be Mr. Phil Gerber
You might have to come to Canada, I'll buy you Tim Hortons
The problem is
he can't teach you how to drive through a Starbucks parking lot
without curving all four wheels, but I guarantee
he could take a 15 foot long car
and put it in a 12 foot hole
Unlike anything I've ever seen before
I'm going to take him a few tries to get it started
to get it rolling if it's a manual
Once it's rolling, it's like fucking
Schumacher
That initial on-off
I've always given Phil this same
compliment and there's nothing to even
There's no way to even do it underhanded
I've never seen anybody do
what he does with a vehicle
It's so interesting to me
because with men, I feel like it's just in green tea
You guys just know how to put your foot
into it, don't just drive it
Whereas me, I'm so cautious
where I'm like, oh, if I do that
and then I hit a light pole
That's what's even funnier about
Phil's ability though
because
we will go out and play
around with the car
You'll drive it spiritedly
You'll spin the tires
You'll step it out and stuff like that
There's caution
In every other way
where there's learning the car
Right, learning the car
This is the first time I've ever been in it
so I better be careful
and I need to learn this car
There's caution from us
and other people
In every other time
of life and business
generally we have no caution
and we throw caution to the wind
and we're ready to get after it
Phil is the overly responsible one
and making sure we make right decisions
You're putting behind the wheel
of a brand new, never been driven
$1.3 million
completely custom
one off and it's
dump the clutch, step it sideways
and
parallel park it between two cones
He's got to dump the clutch because it's the only way
for him to get it going
Once it's going
So next time
So today we won't
but next time we're somewhere
and we have a vehicle that we can
borrow
where there's nothing I can hit
Will you teach me?
I can give you a lesson or two
You have patience for that?
Phil's patient, she wants to learn how to do a burnout
and then a rolling burnout
Like a good one
A couple of things
Number one, if you really want to like
make the car do awesome things
it should probably have a roadster shop chassis under it
because it helps
You can only do so much when you get body roll
or tires or chatter
and so that helps
Well you were saying it's
working into it and I know what the chassis is going to do
is I've driven a shit ton of our cars
so you get there
you know what's going to happen
it's a lot easier to just jump in
I love my truck but
I just took the TH-400 out of it
and put a 700R4 in it
I know they're not the best transmissions but I'm not
begging on my shit
and now I'm like oh my truck
can go over 60 miles an hour
and I was coming over the
Golden Years Bridge and I was like
what is going on and I looked down
and I was like oh so we can't drive fast
because we're going to die
so you know
we got this new transmission
but it's hard to keep her on the road
also I've sacrificed
the suspension for the ride height
so the suspension isn't really
doing what it should because I
want the stance that I have
let's talk about the truck
where did the truck come from
and how did it end up
like it is
during COVID
I have a 67 Chevy Nova
and
it was
my husband did
the whole frame off
restoration in the garage
that car was built
that was like my car
that was like what I wanted for years
and so a friend of the family found this car
it was no fun to drive
he would follow me to work
when I would drive it
because he made it too nice
restored
and he did all the work
so it was his blood, sweat and tears that went into that
and he did a beautiful job
and actually it just had a 2.0 makeover
and we're going to reveal it this week
but it was just
he didn't want door dings
there was no stopping at the store on the way home
and it just took the fun out of it for me
so anyways during COVID
I started looking for a truck
and I found a 72 Cheyenne
from an auction house in Alberta
so I was home
and I was like oh well
we talked to the guy he's like oh yeah this truck's on
it's going to bear Jackson
and it's got an L-S motor
so right there I'm like oh this truck's going to be in great shape
like nothing to worry about
I go with my mom and my dad
we drive 2 hours to go look at this truck
I couldn't get under it, couldn't look at anything
but I popped the hood and started up
I'm like what's going on L-S motor
this is great, let's just buy this
this is what I want right
so stupid so I buy this truck
ship it home
and we put it up on Jack's Downs
and Ed comes out from underneath
the truck and he looks at me and he's like
what the fuck did you do
and I was like really?
he's like this is so bad
this is the worst
this is a boat anchor
so the guy literally cut the frame
and then just bolted it together
he wrapped the brake lines around the frame
there was so much
so much wrong with this truck
so in Alberta they actually have a law
that's called AMVIC
so how you've marketed that vehicle
is how it has to be
you better live up to it
okay buddy
you messed with the wrong girl
and I did this whole
corporate professional email
and I got him to buy it back
really?
that's nice
I was out probably
for a grand
and then this one was a builder
which I wasn't super stoked to do
but it was a builder
locally in the lower mainland
and as soon as I saw the truck I was like
that's the one for me
it wasn't the best experience
and I'm not going to sit here and talk to the guy
but I just think sometimes it's
the platform is yours
go ahead
yeah it wasn't good
so I remember picking my truck up
and driving it home and being like
I'm happy I have this truck
but it's a dog
like you would step on it
and the truck wouldn't move
on the way home
the master cylinder I heard it pop
and there was a brake fluid all over my
freshly coated
not good for patina
not good for stopping either
no so they're right
so anyways I get this thing home
and I'm like yeah this is cool
but there's some shit wrong with it
we ended up pulling the motor
I drove it that season
it had piston slap
and it had been bored out to the point
that you couldn't bore it anymore
there was like nothing left
it was a 327
the original motor
so I went back to the builder and I'm like
okay I know the original motor
you dropped in here spun a bearing
and you put this piece of shit in
that you pulled out of a belair
like did you check it, what's happening
so he gave me a bit of money back
and then I ended up just buying the short block
my regret is that I didn't go
383 but hindsight it is what it is
and then I just set her up to be a cruiser
so it was like entry level heads
like it wasn't really you know I still had the flat
tappet cam in there not a big duration yada yada yada
and I drove it for a season
and then I was like
we need more torque
like I want to have some fun with my track
so then I pulled the engine again
cause you know let's do it twice
that's the way to do it
yeah they at least come out easy
that's an easy track to get it out
yeah so pulled that again
and then I put
I retrofitted to Howard's cam
and I did the roller cam in it
and that's been great
I did AFR street heads in it the 195cc
and then I did their air intake manifold as well
a bunch of other shit
anyways she goes good now
I'm super happy with her
and the black widow exhaust so it originally had
Magnaflow and I just for me
the two things is stance and sound
those are the things I want
that's pretty good
I would agree with both of those things
if you don't have that you have nothing
and I remember like me like
oh like you can't
like I start my truck and it's like
I want you to hear me coming
before you see me
I want to set up alarms
I always say I want my shit rowdy
and that truck is wildly
like the videos don't do it justice
people hear it in person and they're like
holy shit like
when I started a rowdy little small black Chevy
she's sounds good
sounds really good so the black widow exhaust
on that really changed the sound
and then when I did
when I put the AFR heads on that I was like
massive difference
she's rowdy
what
what got you
we're going to step back even before the nova
it's like that what
did you go up in a car family
so what
what hooked you
what made you start looking
so I would say my mom and dad
have always been in like the 50s and 60s
have been a huge part of my
upbringing Elvis especially
Elvis
my dad actually
broke his ribs trying to steal
an Elvis Presley Boulevard sign
in Montana
when I was like 13 years old
and then we went and bought one at that store
called San Francisco's
did you guys have that store here
it was like a joke store but anyways
he busted his ribs trying to steal this
because it was like hanging the guy welded it on
obviously it was stolen before
and then a car had come around the corner
and my mom and the two friends
that were with him trying to steal this
ditched my dad
running through the woods with the ladder
and the tools he had
and fell over a log
and smoked his ribs and I remember them coming back
to the campsite I'm like what's going on
and he's like I'll tell you when you're older
there was like no telling me what happened
that sounds awesome
my dad's pretty rad
so there's just like this respect for history
and a guy
their best friend
he did like a poultry and body work
and stuff on cars a couple houses down
so I just remember as a kid like seeing these cars
go in and seeing them come out
and seeing that change and just like the smell
and I've just always
anytime I get in something like that
and he's like what's its story
tell me what your story is
who drove this like what
it's the history for me
so I wouldn't say I grew up cars
but actually so the guy who's the friend of the family
his son we were on a family vacation
and we went through a car museum
and there was a Bel Air there
and he was 16 and at that time
that's how old he had to be to get your driver's license
they went back and bought this Bel Air
for him and that was his first car
and I remember it sitting outside the house
and just being like how cool is that to be like
this is what I'm rolling into high school with
that's cool
he actually
he had a Seaman car
I don't know if you know it was called the real dirty 30
Joel Cannon
good name
yeah you should look it up
and he has like the craziest wagon right now
he's a really good builder
but he sold his at Bear Jackson
so it was his dad
that kind of
I would say was like the car guy
and then watching these guys do their thing
and
and then you said your husband's a car guy
he built a Nova
yeah so he's definitely always been a car guy
his dad was a painter
he might have to go to Instagram
I think it's that third picture from the right
there we go
cat will you
go on Instagram
no
you have to go
oh there it was
there it is right there
that's why
dirty of course
let's go
yes I remember that from Seaman
so super talented guy
so it was his dad
that lived down the street
he did the headliner in the Nova
but yeah he's a car guy
obviously I'm not doing this alone
but I'm out there
like when we pulled the motor I'm out there doing it
he just taught me how to like change my spark plugs
and I learned about gapping them
like if I'm driving that truck
if I break down
I want to know at least have an idea
of what it is I need to look for
and I know that truck inside and out
what do you do professionally for a living
okay so
so I work for
a natural gas and electric company
and I actually
design and implement
and manage behavior change programs
for energy efficiency
so when I roll up in my truck
break that down for us because we're not
so basically I like
I have like an online program
where we send out home energy reports
that compare your energy use
to your neighbors to essentially shame you
change your habits exactly
behavior change you could probably use us as examples
yes of what not to do exactly
but the funny thing is is like
my daily up until recently was a dodge
ram hemi and then I roll into
working one of my hot rods and my boss is always
like Alicia like you are in energy
efficiency everybody's like riding their bikes
and their evens and I'm like
right and I'm like hey I
I am the audience I'm I'm the
segment that I'm trying to change so I know
how to talk to me so I have a very corporate
job so this side of me when people find
out they're like what that's wild
yeah they this it's
it's night and day they did you get into that
um
money
why I didn't say
why I said I mean how but like
I actually
went to school for entertainment business management I wanted
to do like a and r for like music
yeah like events
that's what I wanted to do and then
I grew up and I was like hey this job
has a pension and I have seven weeks holidays
and they pay me really good money
and it allows me to
do all of these things because I'm
not making money doing this this is all
on my dollar nothing wrong with that
yeah hot rods are not cheap when
did uh when did you know
documenting on Instagram with the Nova
did that did you have that plan
when you're doing the Nova or that come after the fact
it was really after the fact where I
was like I feel like I can do something
with this um but it was
interesting because the Nova didn't really get a lot of hits
and then it was like when I started
posting the truck but now like
watch Friday I'm gonna post the reveal
of the Nova because it's just had a full
on makeover like
change color to oh wow like
whole modifications the car
doesn't even look the same um
so it'll be interesting to see
how the page does
showing the Nova because
now I find when I show the Nova there's more
interest so I don't know
it's interesting it's just different
the norm yeah and honestly
like how many pictures
in my truck can you like
like really
I suppose really I mean
there's a lot of different people like
to see things moving and working
so it's hard though
when you don't have like I'm doing this
on my own right so it's not like I have
like a it's
it's tough it's not like a build in
process anymore either I mean you've
changed some things but it's like I'm done
it's just hey this is me in my truck I'm driving
something up there like that though and you've got that
kind of action that kind of engagement
you don't get a lot of
manufacturers reaching out to you that want
to get parts on it or work with you
on it no I like I've had
Phytek um Howard's Cam which
I actually got Mike Cotton he's been
a big supporter so he introduced me to
Howard's Cams um
Stage 8 locking fasteners
I've had a few but
other than that like
yeah no I don't really don't
get like so you've got a real
job corporate job yeah and this is
like my second full-time job and this is a
full-time job but you're doing it because
you enjoy it you love it this isn't like
it feeds my soul
it really
does and like yeah and you got to think
too like honestly
I don't have like me paying for this trip
here this is out of my pocket this is
my vacation time this is me but
it's like what an opportunity
when you guys reached out I was like
holy shit
like Roadster shop
you guys are like God
like
two of them are really nice
but hey
I'll deal with it
but to me like this was like
yeah it was honestly wild
like you guys are
to be able to
associate myself with your brand is
such an honor and to be sitting
here is just like we appreciate
I really appreciate it so
I'm glad you finally came around we were like
you got to reach out to her she'd be great to have on the
podcast and just like no fuck that
she's yeah I don't know
why he wouldn't
it was weird
no so it's just honestly like I don't
I've been paid for a few things and I
have wire care they've been great so
I'm doing a whole heat shrink
thing in September with them
but like everything's out of my pocket
it's because I love doing it is I want
these experiences like when I'm 80
I can look back and be like I did that
yeah and
and like the other thing
too that I trip out of like I'm
40 I'm gonna be 46
okay and people have
posters of me I thought you said you were 30
okay 30
30 going on 46
yeah Canadian years Canadian
years but the fact that like
at this age there's
people that have posters of me like it's
it's wild it's a trip and
I think that's cool to be like hey
I'm a middle-aged woman
I think
that it's awesome I honestly
very envious
um
we can print posters of you
totally in a Canadian speedo
I mean
I'm sure there's some
the internet's a wild place I'm sure there's some weirdos out there
well you
can't chat gbt that get down there I tried
putting I tried putting cousin Mikey
in a speedo will not do it
Canadian version
well I don't know it's got
the thing pops up where it doesn't fit
there she had Canadian version and then I tried
rewording it of like
this is a classic swimsuit
I don't understand why this can't be done
this is a traditional men's swimsuit
you're doing Claude or chat gbt
chat gbt Claude
Claude that's the
that's a I would love to see that
argument that you had cousin Mikey dodge
to bullet on that one Claude is the
is uh oh I heard you on the
both that picture I want to see that picture
which one I watch
the podcast where you somebody
or was it cousin Mikey that like
chat gbt some picture and you were pissed
uh
oh no that was him which one was that
that picture and getting fucking shown which picture
can I see it I don't which one we've done I do
it a lot which I will he was really
mad about it is the it wasn't a picture
is the video oh even when you just
when you just found the Carlson
when Carlson did it and send it to you
oh Carlson did it yeah yeah he got
on a kick of like he found
the one that was off-putting
yeah it was uh
because me doing so
yeah it's the one thing
that crosses the line for me
yeah I don't want to know
I don't want to know I mean it yeah
we'll show you
can you show me after
sweet can I have a copy of that
I'll text it to you
oh man
I hate you
I feel like I just want to join in the picking
on now everybody that comes
on it's it's a safe space
normally it's me though normally like
all of the my whole crew is like it's
picking on you you kind of
you canadian accent yeah
easy target yeah so
honestly I was you know
it is a little envious I don't want this to come
across the wrong way um
but when you have been in
the uh industry for
so long um like we have
and you're you're you're doing this
you know every day
you it's a business right you're you
we have made our hobby
a business
so the hobby leaves
you the hobby leaves right it's a business
still love it hundred percent still
love it the ability to do it as a hobby
gets tough the ability to do it as a hobby
is is difficult and I'm
envious of that when you
when you've done your hobby all day long
when you leave sometimes
you don't want to do the hobby
right now you want to take a break from
the hobby um and again
no would not change a thing
right and I guess
the easiest way to say it is
you know how the saying that I wish
somebody would tell you that
these are the good old days yeah
while you're while you're living them so you take
you take small things for granted right we have
tremendous opportunities meet some
really great people go to some amazing shows
we've built some amazing fucking cars we've got some
great employees and you do some stuff
but sometimes when it's the thing
you're just doing the thing right and it's
the next thing and sometimes it takes
like looking back and be like oh shit
I forgot it that was that was
really fucking cool that we got to do that
it here is envious of like
you can be and okay
I I totally get where you're coming from but
so this is like my insecurity
is that I'm not I have no talent
I'm not a builder fabricator
I'm not a make like I like who am
I that's how I feel and so
talking with people I was like whom I
whom I to be
sitting in this chair
so you almost you have these feelings
because
like who am I I'm not a you've
created a brand a hundred percent
but
I also think there's people out there that get
pissed off about it so you think about SEMA
and I can fully respect
this is that people like
me
we shouldn't in theory
be at SEMA right so
so old
because who are we I think now there's a marketing
spin on it
but I think you've got some old
school
that like the OG's that are like what are these people doing
here they're just here with their videos
and this and that and they're just they do content
oh I have a cool truck I'm a girl I'm a blonde
I've got some followers right so
where is my position in all of this
but the way I look at this
is I'm like anybody
else out there who is passionate
about these vehicles
and being an
influencer I hate that term has allowed
me an opportunity
into this industry I would not
have otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here
with you guys like
it's kind of a catch 22 there's
people there that they hate people
like me at SEMA so I don't I'm
like I don't even today I was like I wish
I documented everything but I didn't because I don't
want to be like that person I just want to be in the moment
in the moment I think that you
I could see where you're coming from on
feeling that way and there probably is companies
that you know companies are people that
might feel that way however
they're they're wrong
and they're missing the point anyway because
really what matters
especially today
with social media and the younger
generation and the way the consumer
behaves differently
you and a lot
of other people have created these
brands right and
you're living your life you're into
trucks if you say
hey look at this that happened at
SEMA or here's this new product something like that
that is as unbiased
and as real
of an interaction
and showing of a product as you can
get because I feel like I've made black
widow somebody
oh I'm sure he should be fucking
paying you for my truck like I'm not
a pair of mufflers out of that deal no
I bought no I bought them
so here's the thing like I that's
even more organic that's it's kind of goes
this point of experience I went
to California and I was like shit what
like what is this da da da and then
came home and I talked to scrape and he was
like oh these ones would probably be good on your truck I ordered
them they didn't they never gave them
to me and I was like
that's how that
changed everything for how I felt for
that truck but you realize that that's
goes to my point and even
makes it more authentic
because you bought them
it's not like somebody figured out the underhand
oh man we just give her some free exhaust
I'm not gonna push
anything I will never
never ever ever ever ever
ever ever push anything I don't believe in
if you give me something and I try and it doesn't
work sorry
I'm calling that's why you should be a SEMA
calling you out that's why you should be a SEMA
and that's why anybody that
I just like wander around
but you produce content that you're getting
in front of a big audience that might otherwise
not see it or not be able to go to SEMA
which then helps the rest of the industry
because all of our potential customers
are seeing it through
multiple channels which then brings
interesting to me that you guys find value in that
there's a huge value in it
you guys are RS but the amount of
but it's the internet have you I mean
but I feel like you don't have to even market
you guys are roadster shop
nobody if any to me
anyways if anybody could put
their truck on a chassis
you want RS and if you don't
like you're an idiot
I mean I would agree with that
but I
but that's why I mean again
the you know
you paid your way to get here
100% but I'm grateful
for the opportunity you feel that way
you
us finding some people
to say that and put it on our channel
and put it out there to people
it comes across as a different way
what do we drive
the vehicle we drove in today
and I was like holy shit because
well that's a holy shit vehicle
I'll tell you that
if I went if I was at like a little
car show in Canada and I was like hey are you on RS
are you on RS like no like
it's expensive there you've got the exchange
you've got the duties the taxes the shipping
like we got some
sounds like there's some tariffs rolling your way too
yeah so it's wild like
we just like we're doing the
best we can with what we've got
up there so the only
RS chassis I rolled on was
Thomas's the white C10
the white C10 and I didn't
really roll on it because I was just like oh
I've had a few beers let me like try
and see if I remember how to drive stick shift
like it wasn't
I did good did you
yeah I 100% did good
Thomas let me tell you a story about Thomas though
so you want to talk about hard asses
earning respect
yeah I can see how Thomas
could be a bit of a hard ass
cool dude though
and his wife
I fucking love those too anyways
so I like Thomas I met
two years ago at SEMA we were walking around
blah blah blah he got me the RS party
so we were there
and he's like
asking me about my truck and I'm like this
no foes like quiz me
bring it
bring it
and so he was like talking about my
cam and I was like back then
it was a 268 duration
so I was like oh blah blah
it's a 268 compound blah blah blah
and he's like he looks at me and he goes
but what's the duration
and I looked at him I'm like are you
fucking retarded I just said it was a 268
and I was like
it's a 268
and he just like stood back
and he high fived me
and that was the moment I
earned his respect because it was like
I'm not gonna
I'll never pretend to know
something I don't know because
I don't want to be caught off guard so it's like
I do what I
can I'm in there I'm
getting my hands dirty but if I don't know
I'm never gonna portray myself to be something
so if you're like hey tell me about your motor
and I'm like uh I don't want to be
that person well that's what
I mean it's also unique I think to this
industry because
we talk about it all the time you know with new hires
and especially sales guys is don't
bullshit right you're talking to people
that have been doing this for a long time
you told somewhere that it's do
as I say now as I do okay
don't don't bullshit you know
on hard facts you know
it's pretty good it's really
it feels like loving it like the quiet man
he's he's he's gonna
he's gonna like
let's do some maple syrup let's just try it
it's pretty sweet is this like super troopers
oh that was a good show
let's just try it
is it really yeah it's three
okay let's just try it I don't know
super troopers three the movie yeah same dudes
same dudes
oh wow
you're gonna have to pour a little more in there
just a
just a shot just a
just a touch
I am
I'm highly disappointed
let's go
this is round two
she's wanting to autograph this bottle
put this Canadian bottle open
if we kill the bottle you get to autograph it
am I that special
probably
as long as you finish the bottle
you get to sign it
and then it goes on the Hall of Fame
I'm a veteran over there
we got this shit you guys
don't really taste it
do you want more
you do uh
feels quiet
we need to deep dive into you
let's get deep into
see if you can crack them
yeah I feel like I'm a good cracker
see what you can do slide that down
I think people I've gotten a lot of positive feedback
that people appreciate
Phil's position on the podcast
because there's me and Josh just yapping
about fucking not fucking worth it
but I feel like you're quiet
Phil brings me out
are you shy? a little bit
yeah I see that
March? Pisces

that's pretty badass
I'm sensitive
I don't want to admit that
but I'm an empath

I feel like you're probably
no
I have a nephew
so my niece
my niece is a Taurus
basically the better side
my niece is a Taurus and my nephew
is Pisces and he's very sensitive
he's the one throwing temper tantrums
I didn't

I'm just like super
I just want to latch on to him
he's a latch on
I'm going to break you
I doubt it
I feel like I can't
you figured him out
we actually gel
I'm paper mache
that's easy
Phil would hold his breath for an hour and a half
is that
I'm going to have to look really
I think in like two minutes as long
it's like
the fact you remember that
that's the best
line of the whole fucking podcast
I feel like if we're like all together though
I have to say
you came up to me last year
and I didn't forget it
you were like hey what is it going to take
you to get your truck on an RS
I was like hey you know what
I appreciated you coming up to me
because again
I don't want to demean myself
but again
not a builder
the fact that you came up to me
it meant a lot
I have a lot of respect for that
you're in Phil's community
Phil's the C-10 guy
he's in that world
that definitely tugs on his heart
let's talk about that
do you want to leave the wood bed
so we walk into that shop and right away I'm like
that was a new truck
whose truck is that
I tried to talk shit
that's a fucking sweet truck
it's sweet
that one was
it's beautiful
but like you got to leave it
outside it's getting left 100% as is
I'm a survivor
it's a good truck
it's a PGS for sure
did you see a square body
Phil Gerber special
the white one over here
Phil's been dubbed the C-10 guy
Phil's got a good taste
it's what they said
you've got a square body
so I've always
when I looked up a picture
like a stalker
your truck's out front
I was like oh my god I'm seeing this in person
can you do
somebody can you're better on
chat GPT I want to I want right now
as we just said this somebody needs to do
no a CD cover
in the old no limit
record style
Phil as a C-10 God
like Phil
rap name C-10 God
like the old no limit
I want to see that album cover right now
is that your jam
yeah and then just kind of the patina stuff
wasn't me
so my truck
the thing that annoys me
is the big ones with anything no limit
because
that's what it's yeah
agreement doesn't it doesn't match my truck
and my tailgate
my tailgate
I just want to like rip it off my truck
drag it
down a gravel road no it's fake
that's not that doesn't match
you got to bring it to Jerome Boris
and let him do his magic
can you know so that so here's
my fuck up
sorry dad
so that's
that's what the builder did
turn the volume up so I can hear this
back and out I want to hear this
careful everybody turn your headphones down
my husband hates it I'm not
doing what I do alone
I'm not doing that alone
he is there and like I said
there's things I can't do
where he's spending more time
under that truck than I am
there's just there's
I have very weak hands you guys
I have little hands
you got stronger ears
I don't know about that
but there's just things I can't do
but I'm learning
and the fact that he's like taught me
has been amazing but
hindsight so
I took shop in high school
okay I almost got expelled
in home act
it was a whole
grilled cheese incident
you don't just glaze past that
yeah no it was a whole incident
so like I got lawn mowers
oh string cheese incident
and I took shop and it wasn't for boys
it was like I legitimately was
like interested in this and then my dad
I don't know I just I like to
I like to make things what happened with the grilled cheese
didn't end up on the ceiling
I know so I think
we're supposed to like bake a cake
I may have like rallied
people to make grilled cheese
oh yeah that's
stupid that's a leader
that's showing leadership innovation
exactly exactly yeah no it
didn't go over well I yeah
I wasn't the best in school there was a few times
I just got expelled
did you have any well real quick before
yes go ahead talking about
school were there any unique classes
that you were enrolled in that other kids weren't
no I just trying to see where we
I'm from Canada
she talked about her high paying job
and what she's doing
yeah somehow
she's not in this industry
so no she did regular classes
but here's the message
my brother my brother
my brother is so smart you guys
my brother is like I was like
Google Robert he's so smart
and so growing up they're like
oh she got the looks and he got the brains
and I was like that's what people say about us
here but now that I'm older
like that's an insult I'm like
really
really that like like that's how
we're gonna roll but
so I feel like I got street
smarts and he's book smarts
and
I want to ask you favorite child
now my mom and dad fucking love me
they didn't grow
they were like this girl's like
there's there's listeners that have listened
that are gonna
get this but I don't think you have listened
as much so I'm gonna I'm gonna ask
you some trivia
I'm gonna name three names
of schools programs
right and you're gonna guess I'm in Canada
I know that you're not gonna know these but this is
this is they're gonna be wildly different you've got
to pick the three of us
so one of us
went to
a school called
the answer center
one of us was in a program
called geared up for learning
and one of us
graduated from
Indiana University geared up
for learning for sure
okay
am I right keep going
oh was it you
oh shit
yeah
I just want to hug you I'm sorry
it hurts
I'm sorry that one sticks with you
do you want to hug?
maybe
shit I thought that was you
I was the answer center
you didn't have any colored pencils
that was an entire answer center
what was that like that was an alternative school
for the senior year
well if you knew what
how these classes were structured
then you would understand
is the answer center you're removed from
the traditional high school campus
that's you
because you can't you can't conform
you can't live
amongst the other students
keep going what's your story
Phil the other one was
I finished I went to normal high school
I got home
my other option was the Indiana University
I don't know what that means
University of Indiana college
okay that's Phil
he went to college
are you the only one post secondary
that's what we call it post secondary
this is like Australia
are we going to bust out this list or what
Australia's university
so you did post secondary
college
university
brothers
I went for a year
I started at a tech college
but it was like a normal college
that had a tech this is not for you
what's your age difference
two years
I did quite well with the tech program
but college just wasn't really my thing
I just it's not
I like an attention span issue
so Jeremy's mom and who's dad
what do you mean
who's more like mom and dad
well nobody's like mom in this family
really
we love mom
love mom but I don't know that
so
so why are you guys
successful
you went to
secondary
I see that
left brain right brain
same end goal
I see that
it just worked
I'm proud of you
seriously
proud of you too
I appreciate it
it just came out alright
the answer center obviously had a few answers
were you
you like to paint that picture
that the answer center might just be a little worse
because we had to be removed from campus
it 100% is worse
I went for one period
geared up for learning wasn't like a school
it was a fucking class it was one
period
you've painted your picture
now let me paint my picture
go ahead
alright you've had your time
you've played with your colors
you need finger paints for this
no this is just
so you have
one situation
like the answer center where
a young
a young child
a young kid
that is finding
his way in life
maybe that had something to do with it
thanks dad
hey can you like
finish his 11th grade
year
and then summer happens
and then he
doesn't come back for his 12th grade year
he goes to a different school
or you have another situation
where
this same
a different young boy is going to
high school
and then all of a sudden
he's in class with everybody else
and then he has to be removed
from that class
to go to a different class
to be sequestered
and then go back in with the rest of the class
you're at high school and they know you get pulled out
let me stop you for one second
because the reason like we just said
I don't have a long attention span
I'm fucking losing it
that's why he doesn't
I've got patience
he has zero patience
I've got patience
like it's wild
the RS like I had no idea
he could do that
I would lose my shit
Josh has a tremendous amount of patience
and I actually envy that
I do too
Josh can do things
I'm autistic
he's got ADHD
with a little bit autism
you know what
I will say
I'm normal
must be nice
must be nice
but I wish I had that
because you know what
you can focus
and do that shit
I'd be like fuck this
I'd be throwing jewels everywhere
I'm not doing this shit
I'm going to pay somebody
and then the whole ADHD
you can hone in
and that's all that exists
for that moment in time
and then you're like checkbox
but that's also shitty with builds
because I feel like
relationships
relationships where you're like
okay I accomplished
yeah maybe
some people
it works out good for building cars
Phil what do you have
hyper focused on cars
are you normal like me
we're tired
I'm tired I just want to sleep
that's all I want
yeah I just need to be
engaged to
get my focus
I guess
I'm not interested I don't really care that much
I am too passionate
all it takes though
honestly and this is not a dig
this is yours
you could be not interested in something
and then something
flippantly goes by
and then you see a problem with it
and then all of a sudden
now you're interested because there's a problem with it
oh I just
there's a problem there that needs to be tugged into
and then layer
pull back the layer
I think it's like 99% locked
yeah
or it's just a
that's your prescription
it's like the lens
it's the lens
this will be like Phil's therapy
it's a good therapy session
hey it helps right
some people are color blind
you're problem sensitive
like when it
go ahead
this is first
you got him to shut the fuck up
shut the fuck up
you just thought I was a dickhead
how are you fixing it
you miss canada
kids
2
that young
no I have to
oh I was like oh my god I fucking shoot myself
at this age
15 and 12
girl boy
15 year old girl 12 year old boy
so you're having fun with the 15 year old girl
she's actually
very very good
little bit of drama clothing friends
everything else is great
you kids
15 and 13
girl boy
boy girl
boys 15 girls 13
how's that
I was a dick to my dad at 13
that was when the relationship went to shit
really we're still going strong
but we're best like my dad and I
like 13 I was like
I know everything blah blah blah
but my dad is like
my dad's my shit
I love my mom
my mom's sweet she's nurturing
she does all the things
but my dad is like
that's interesting
my mom was like growing up
she was like
wild I'm gonna tell this
go ahead
back to Jeremy
so like the first time I was like
I was gonna like have sex
I talked to my mom
so everybody knows this is not me
there's other Jeremy's
there's other Jeremy's
and I was like hey this is where I'm at
and she told me she was like
the three hours respect, reputation
and responsibility
that was what she told me and I was like
wow killer mom like you're
you're cool
and then my dad
my dad would probably kill people but
yeah my dad is like
he's like my logic like my business side
where I'm like hey I have this and he was like
you have to go about it like this
he's very
I don't know I feel like for
until 46 I'm really close with my parents
so being parents
like
I don't know they shape you they do
I just I find it interesting
just from personal experience
I've got a 22 year old daughter
and I've got a 19 year old son
my daughter like
from the day she was born
you know
until right now
never a problem never an issue
she's been a daddy's girl
forever
never a daddy's girl
whatever she needs
I'm like I'm gonna fuck you up
and my dad's gonna back me up
well I fuck you up
well yeah no
she's a mini Josh for sure
yeah that's daddy's girl and like
we've always clicked
and connect oh she's
she looks like me
it's a mini me
now the opposite
my son
great up until about
16 17 and then there it changes
it's it's like the you know just like
what you watch on National Geographic right it's the
the lion pride right that's the
oh you're like
you're overly masculine though
so I feel like and I'm just I'm
being this is my perception
you're like I feel like
you're overly masculine so I feel like
if your son doesn't live up to
your expectation
of what masculine
is you're gonna look down on
that and you have to understand
that today's perception
of being masculine is
very different than what it was when you
were when you were
18
exact opposite
exact opposite but you said it
with conviction be a good life coach
the way you said it
I was the problem
the problem with
that is
he got every single
negative trait from me
no and over
and over masculine thing
and over over masculine
it's not it's not negative like
I am my
I am my fucking dad
have you ever watched crouching tiger
hidden dragon no but there's some shit where
it's like
like as a female I want to be masculine
I'm like
I want to peacock
I don't want let like I don't want
you to know that I'm insecure
well everybody wants that
yeah I don't know
I don't know I mean maybe some people
thrive off of like
I get what you're saying
I just think you have to like
embrace who he is and know
that it's different and like
I tried to embrace him a week ago
and he was trying to embrace me
like it's literally
what do you mean by your definition
so the
let's unpack that
anybody that's listening
is that ground and pound is that stand up
anybody that's listening that has seen
crouching tiger hidden dragon right
it's a 10 year old
movie a pretty crazy
martial arts film
it's slow motion
it's like the matrix you know how you get
in the matrix and it's everything's like hover
that's how it was at my house
you were like I'm gonna I want to
chest bump you
and he wanted to chest bump me back
yeah but like so let him
you've been there done that
he would have whooped your ass
not at that moment I told him
don't chest bump it
he's lost a lot of weight though
I think you might have a fighting chance
oh I would have dropped him
dropped him
yeah
I don't know you just have to
like embrace sometimes
you do sometimes you got to just
my dad was just like
don't say fuck
that's his only that's the thing
we should FaceTime my dad he would
let's FaceTime your dad
really
Alicia hasn't dropped an F bomb yet
yeah
we should get the F bomb counter
up here
I'm pretending I'm on a job interview
we've done better
that's what I promise
my mom
we're hiring
we're at a
worried about me that they were like
okay just like and even my director
at work she was like just pretend
cause I was like oh I just I got a hand
tattoo I was just gonna fucking
let's do it
you got a hand tattoo
well a little bit
what is it I don't know
my wife has it
you know
how similar that tattoo is
my wife has almost the same
tattoo here
but she got this like fine line stuff
super fine line
and then she decided after she did her whole
form with flowers
she decided that's not enough
then she did her whole side
yeah I feel like it's spiral
Kyle thought it was Lindsay at RS2
I thought
I wanted to do like all my hands
but I was like so
what would you put on your hands
I just want to be like my dog that died
Bailey
on your hand
what would you put on there
Vinny's got it
I don't know I'm just like
I don't fucking care
I'm super corporate
it's okay now though
don't use mother fucker
once you pop the first one
now they start rolling
the tattoo things changed a lot
in the corporate world
so I saw my director
and I was like oh I did
and I was like oh I want to do more
and she was like no I don't
and I was like
so you said
don't so I feel like I'm gonna like
do that makes me want to do it more
I was kind of on the fence but now that you said not to
I don't care
I don't care
so we talked about today so my two things
like the car page
so I have this many followers
and you know what
I haven't had to flash my tits
you've done good
there's no only fans link
this is before
I've got a butt
but whatever
I have no tits
this is a great segue
I wanted to circle back to where we were just at
not to go too far back
keep it coming
the Canadian whiskey
it's really good
easy drinker
this is one of the best pulls
from what people have brought on the podcast
in a while
I'm shocked at how smooth
of a drinker that is
but it's so enjoyable
it really is
it's not just
smooth
it's not smooth and watered down
it's smooth and flavorful
that sometimes you get smooth
and you're like that's kind of like watered
so the funny thing is
my husband will go for dinner
and he orders a glass of wine
and I'm like whiskey straight up
and they come and they're like no
and he's like oh no that's for her
there's something cool about that though
my wife will drink whiskey neat
and it's tough
it's kind of cool
but I won't drink wine
wine is disgusting
really? I'm with you
I'm a wine drinker
I drink with a cat guy
wine
wine is not feminine
I'll have to
first of all
I love Phil
I opened the fucking door on that one
I'm gonna fucking break Phil
guess the dog
yeah you would
it's not a pit bull
okay
but I had a shitsun
she died a year ago so don't
I'm not judging
if you had to guess
take one more
go totally different direction
captain suburbia
like a doberman
she thinks you're cool
I see that I love Phil
she's so all
you fucking neglect Phil
and I'm not gonna
Phil I love you
I'm not good
I'm not good
Phil in a doberman
you didn't neglect him
it's about you two
Phil and I
it's the most
outlandish statement I've ever heard
on this podcast
well Phil loves me and you fucking love me too
I do but Phil doesn't have a doberman
no good hound dog who's the one who had
the first vesula coolest dog ever
I found the vesula
I've had two of them
you know what a weimeriner is
it's kind of like that but a rust color
you're stepping over
so the current situation
what do you think Phil
what do you think Phil has right now
okay hold on
but I felt like it was a hound dog
you're wrong
closest thing to a stuffed animal
that's a dog
what's the closest thing to a huge Stanley
water cup
you're halfway there
you're halfway there
keep the poodle
keep the last part of the poodle
the oodle
labradoodle
you're almost there
almost
keep cruising
labradoodle
poodle
golden retriever
golden doodle
medium size
huge
huge lower section
normal size dog
enormous genitalia
that's why I'll give his dog that
I respect that
dog my jam
my dog died it's her birthday today
we lost a dog
maybe six months ago it was a vesula
it is fucking sad
worst
I'm not a dog person
but seeing like the kids
yeah I'm a cack
honestly you don't
they're a part of your soul and so I don't have kids
so my little Bailey
I lost her a year ago
February
how old was she
she was 14 and a half
and today's her birthday
happy birthday Bailey
happy birthday Bailey
cheers
she was a shit
she was a fucking asshole
yeah we lost
so George was my dog
George was a vesula
but he was only
five
six
cancer
what the fuck
that's two dogs in a row
we had one vesula before that
that got cancer and then went blind
like all of a sudden
that was a cool dog
same age
same age
that's weird
George good dog
George and Josh had a special bond
George loved me
when Bailey left and I got home
and I was like wow
she's the love of my life
we're on the fence right now
no don't do it
well the kids are 15
and 13
kids want a dog
but I tried to explain to them
like you get a dog now
I'm gonna have that dog when I'm
60 years old
honestly
love Bailey like respect
everything she gave me
I was the best dog mom
hands down
so you're saying don't get a dog
no cause you know what there's freedom
honestly it's been nice
to just be like oh I'm gonna go on my truck
and I don't have to worry about coming home
and this and that
but on the other hand
the love
they give you
there's nothing like it
my truck gives me that
I pat her
I'm like hey Maze
hey but it doesn't pet you back
it doesn't snuggle with you
neither does your cat
that's true
Lindsay wasn't home the other night
and the cat did came in bed
and wandered right up there
and I was like this is weird
laid right down
gave him a few pets
and then it reached over
and knocked my water glass
it was plotting to kill you
it's like yeah
back to
back to your statement
I wanted to bring it
I'm enjoying the way
Signal Hill created it
I wanted to bring it full circle
you mentioned earlier
you know that you've got
imposter syndrome
or worrying about not being at
you'd belong at SEMA
the fact I'm here is wild
we've talked about the brand that you've built
and most
brands if they don't realize it
they should realize it how important
that
you know
honest
integrity, class
respect
you can find influencers
that say whatever they want to say
for a price
and then there's the people that live the life
you, Scott Spencer, same way
he's loving the life
living the life, loves everything about it
it's absolutely a hobby
he's got a completely different job
and
been able to get connected with
the community
and manufacturers
which wouldn't have happened
10, 15 years ago
it wouldn't have happened
Scott Spencer is an amazing dude
he's a great guy
do you want to respect what you do
do you follow him?
he's a great dude
respect what you do
that's where I was
that's where I'm going
that's a dude I'm so envious
of his drive
and ability to
he's a pilot
but he gets
shit done
the dude's got
multiple projects going
he's building these things by himself
at his house
he's a commercial airline pilot
so I respect
I'm not gonna shit talk
I respect the
those builds
but at the end of the day
I just want to drive my shit
well every
as far as
the total ecosystem
the entire sphere
of manufacture
to end user
to print media
to our own channel of social media
from the podcast
and then all the great customers
that we have and them sharing their builds
influencers like yourself
specifically what I'm talking about
is influencers like yourself
influencers like Scott
that just makes me laugh
we've been calling influencers too
that can't be
that can't be bought
because you're gonna
100% you should
be proud honestly so I'm just
she's not listening
I'm listening
I just have to say
be fucking proud of where you got
like you fucking
built this brand
look at where you are
I don't like
looking at it I like just
keep going you know I don't
stop and look at it
I get that but like
you guys have to
breathe this in like somebody like me
who is
it's cool
to be recognized
to be sitting here is a wild
he's trying to give you a compliment
you have to take
some of your own medicine
who am I
take it in
because there is no shortage
of people reaching out
saying I'm starting this channel
or I've got this channel and I'm building
this build I want to
feature your products give it to me for free
do this kind of stuff right
we could have
if we just wanted to give away chassis
the entire internet would be
the problem is
the where you
and several others lie
is in that sweet spot because
your truck
is going to be built
or was going to be built the next project
is going to be built regardless
of social media
regardless of sponsorships
right because you are in the
thing so you're going to do what you want to do
regardless
there's a lot of other ones
that's the hard part for the industry
and what gives everybody a bad name
I'm not going to beg you I love you guys
the project
won't happen unless all the sponsors
get involved
but I'm not doing this for sponsors
I'm fucking doing this
that's what I'm saying
I don't care about what
the problem with that is
the end product
is just a creation
of how many companies were willing to give something for free
100%
and they give that validity
by I got this for free
I got this for free
75% of it could be shit
but it's out there for free
then that person has no voice
they might have a lot of followers
but they don't have a voice
but there's people that are uneducated
so it's like
we drove that truck today
and I was like shit
like fuck if my truck
sorry dad
let's talk about the truck
if my truck drove like that
so I was saying
I upgraded
my
transmission
we're not going fast
because I'm going to die
let's talk about this truck
and unpack this
this is the first vehicle that we've built
that's a truck we built for
a very awesome customer
and a very close friend of all of us
does he have to ultimately get it
no there's no play
I don't know if he does
and if he does it's close enough
that we can take it back
act like we don't know what he's talking about
there's a lot of
heart and soul
put into that
when you click with a customer
you really do push
extra
you definitely do
that's one of the first vehicles we've built
that Josh drove it before me
we were pushing like crazy on it
and Josh jumped in it
and I get a text message
from Josh
me and Phil are standing right there
there's a group text it was a little scary
I knew it was scary
I think it, what's that
sorry
rewind that
the tits
I know you're all
keep going and I'll circle back
so I get a text
that says
I think it was like
y'all need to get the fuck out front right now
it's a text
you read it that way
I read it in his voice
it was sent in a way that I'm like
shit
I'm like Phil
we're looking at it back and forth together
I'm like
something horrible
I thought something horrible happened
I thought he got
I know there wouldn't be anything
that happened with the vehicle
but somebody could have hit him
or something could have happened like that
so I'm freaking the fuck out
so we come out
Josh pulls in and Josh is critical
which I like and he should be
because he's very in tune with how
a car functions and all the little nuances
way more than anybody else would be
so his opinion honestly means
a lot more to me than anybody else's
which is very rare
probably one of the
one of the very few occasions
where it does
your legs are about to be just
this is all positive
so we're standing there and Josh comes in
and he actually looked kind of cool in the truck
which the truck did most of the
work and the truck's great
happy lifting
and we're talking about
this diesel crew cab
so he pulls in and
diesel crew cab
you make the S and Z
diesel
diesel
diesel
diesel
and rolls down the window
and he's like
Y'all, this fucking truck, this is the baddest motherfucker
we've ever built.
This is the best driving, best fucking vehicle
that's ever come out of this fucking shop.
Y'all need to drive this motherfucker.
So we do, the three of us pile in it and go cruise it.
This truck, it's honestly, it's what makes doing
what we do all worthwhile because you fight fucking battles.
Yeah, especially after that week.
It was an ass kicker of a week.
Do you actually understand?
At that point in time, yes, I do
because you get your ass kicked in this industry
and you fight battles and you're constantly pushing.
This whole industry is all about perseverance, you know?
You take a second for the win.
That's one of the split seconds of like, this is a win.
Though like a mom moment.
Thank you.
I'm proud of you guys.
I appreciate it.
Like seriously, fucking own it.
The three of us all experienced a win together.
We needed it.
We drove it together.
And I think we all shared the like, holy shit.
You know, this is a culmination of, you know,
20 plus years of experience to create this.
And in that small window we did, it was pretty special.
But you don't get that outside of that.
No, because now we've raised the bar
and now everything needs to be that good.
That's a while to me.
Like you guys are like...
So it made everything else not...
When I was texting my mom and dad,
I'm like, you don't understand.
Like, I signed at SEMA last year.
Love, Mike, appreciate, like whatever.
But I was like, this is like, for me,
this is like the biggest fucking thing I can do.
Keep telling people that.
Keep telling people that.
Because it's not true, but keep telling people that.
You don't get that.
I don't.
Like you built this.
Yeah, we don't focus on that.
You're focused on, I mean...
I get that.
You're humble.
Well, I wouldn't say it's humble.
You're just trying to...
It's our job to find the weakness,
to find the thing that's wrong.
Hey, but be proud of what you created.
I know, but the whole saying that always,
don't believe the critics and don't believe the hype.
Okay, well, I'm proud.
Find the middle ground.
Thank you.
You can't start doing that pendulum swing.
The very first thing I did when I got back
was although it was spectacular,
it was my first time driving it,
and I identified probably a half dozen things
that were wrong with it.
And we're instantly on those, right?
Yeah, and the downshift needs to be...
Oh, and this needs to...
We're plugged into it now,
sorting out the tune and the trans tune and all this.
And it's going to be as close to perfect as it can be
when it gets delivered.
And it's going to get delivered this weekend.
And...
And that's a different, like,
it'll be fucking awesome.
There's no need in...
That's it?
You're anxious.
I'm excited.
I'm not anxious because it's a customer who,
if I delivered him something that was completely fucked up,
he'd be like, bro, we'll fix it.
It's not a big deal.
Like he's a buddy of ours.
But I want it to be perfect, perfect, perfect.
No, I respect that, but that's where I'm like,
my patina, dent it.
I don't, I don't want that.
But that's different though.
Like there's a...
It's so fucking stressful.
There's a strive for like...
My husband, like today he was like Sam Adorno,
and I was like...
He said what?
I don't understand.
I was getting in Scott's truck.
I was like, make sure you pull it hard, right?
It's new weather strips, everything's setting in.
Fucking troubled.
Well, let's hear, sorry, I went on a fucking rant
because I'm excited about that truck.
Tell us about, you wrote in it,
you've got more seat time in it than I do, I think.
No, it was like, I was like, oh, so...
What did it feel like?
Oh, so good.
I hope Scott's listening.
So who's Scott?
It's the owner of the truck.
Hey, Scott, you wanna go for a cruise?
Scott's got a beautiful girlfriend,
and he loves very much.
Hey, girlfriend, let's...
Everybody could go for a cruise.
Everybody could go for a cruise.
Hey, no, let's tell Scott about how awesome
this fucking truck is.
Okay, let's just step it back.
So I had my truck for the last 15 years,
it's been like 19, no, 2010 Dodge Ram.
Okay.
Right?
Oh.
Yeah, so that wrote a lot better.
A lot better than a Dodge Ram.
Fucking Dodge Ram.
But then I bought a Genesis, and I'm like...
Hyundai?
Yeah, like...
Hyundai's a good car.
It's a Genesis, not Hyundai.
It's wild.
Two different companies.
Is it really?
No, no, it's Hyundai.
Two different brands.
Two different brands, it's very specific.
Wait a minute.
While we're talking about that,
is Ram not owned by Dodge anymore?
It is, it's two different brands.
It's just changed the brand.
It's a Ram.
It's a marketing play.
I've driven a truck for 15 years.
So I get this car, there's like backup cameras
and sensors and like, we're test driving it.
Headphones that come out of the head.
I can't, I just fucking let me drive this car.
So I totally changed lanes,
and this car does this thing,
and it's trying to...
Imagine the outlawed.
Yes.
100%, I was like, we're gonna die.
This is what's happening.
Like I can't, no.
That's why Slate and REO's gonna take over everything.
Like I care.
This is Slate's good.
They're doing better things than I was expecting.
Wild colors, they match your shoes.
Do you see the Crayola?
They just did the deal with Crayola.
You're so gonna have red chugs.
You can get it in a crayon color.
It's a whole collab with Crayola.
I'll tell you what, that Slate is...
Okay, we're gonna face them, Kevin.
Fucking brilliant.
You're bestie.
We should do that.
Before we...
Kevin A. Dog.
First...
Kevin A. Dog.
This isn't fishing for a compliment.
I really wanna know.
We can even...
Oh, is this for you?
No.
That's for us.
I love you now, by the way.
This is for us.
Before getting in...
This is for Phil.
Who you love, Phil.
Phil, I fucking love Phil.
Before getting in the Scott's Crew Cab Square Body.
What did, in your mind,
what did you think it was gonna ride like?
Cause it's four-wheel drive, it's sitting up.
No, I knew, I knew this could be like brand new.
Like riding in that, I was like,
oh my trucker, it's like shit.
So it lived up to the height?
Oh, 100%.
Okay.
You already had it at a pinnacle.
We've talked, and it's not like...
Okay, so just for the viewers out there,
everything I do, I pay for.
I don't have, nobody is paid for shit.
You see me at a car show, whatever.
I'm there, I paid, come here.
You're like, oh, we can do zoom, I'm like, fuck that.
We're doing this shit in person,
even though you're a dick.
But I'll fucking win you over.
I love this, that's three times.
I'm gonna win you over.
I'm pretty sure people understand now.
Yeah, I will win you over, cause that's what I do.
Can we have Elio capture that
and then put out one of those buttons?
You're a dick.
Let's make a button, but this is like,
like, where were we going with this?
I don't know where, Elio.
Let's FaceTime, Kevin.
Okay.
Really?
Kevin Dogg?
Yeah, Kevin A Dogg?
Kevin A Dogg.
I haven't talked to Kevin in a while.
I talked to him this morning.
He called me, I said, good morning, Mr. Dogg.
And he was like, oh, where's your list?
We're getting out.
We got the list.
We have a list.
Let's FaceTime, Kevin, and we'll ask him,
we'll go through the list while he's on.
I told him, I'm like, he was fucking ass or a mother fucker.
There's a list of words that she's gonna have to pronounce.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, we hit on a couple of them, didn't we?
Leading up to the podcast, eh?
Oh, careful, don't.
He is, what is, hold on, hold on.
Oh, yeah.
Let's hit a few while he's while we're waiting.
Decal.
Dekal.
Dekal.
I don't say like that.
Dekal.
Duh.
Z06 Corvette.
Zed on six.
Oh, shit.
You gotta put his volume up to the against the thing.
What's going on, Kevin?
Oh, yogurt time.
Are you eating some pasta?
Are you eating some pasta?
No, he has snack time every day at like 430.
Yogurt?
What's up?
Are you still at work, dude?
You are still at work.
What the fuck time is it?
Oh, it's earlier there.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
How do you pronounce pasta?
Did you just do this?
Really?
Yeah, what the?
A loser.
No.
No.
I didn't really mean to do it, absolutely.
Hold it, hold it.
No, you're like, you're like homicide?
Hold that up behind the damn microphone.
Hold it by the microphone.
I didn't kiss on my bicep.
I wiped my mouth on my shirt.
Hey.
He was like, he was like this.
How do you pronounce pasta?
Right.
How do you pronounce pasta?
I pronounce it pasta.
Yeah, we pronounce it pasta as well.
It's not pasta.
Well, how do you pronounce it?
Does the Illinois people pronounce it like that?
Yeah, how else is it pronounced?
Pasta, pasta.
Yeah, fuck you.
What's the alternative?
What's the alternate version of that?
What about, what about project?
Project?
Project.
No, there's no O in project.
Where's your list?
I've got it right here.
I'm looking at my list.
I think we need to call Vinny on this one.
He has a list.
I've got a list.
We can get the northern and the southern.
You gotta hold it.
I'll tell him, and he's gotta be on top of it,
so I can imagine he has a list.
Of course I've got a list.
What else we got?
I don't drop the ball.
Okay, let's roll.
Let's go.
What about project?
You just, yeah.
He's not dropped.
What about process?
Process.
It's not.
Next.
We already went through the maple bar before we called you.
Maple bar?
And I'm gonna have to tell you,
it's a dude, it's a long John.
Yeah, we're with her on that one.
It's a long John.
Boo, you lost.
Yeah, it's a long John.
I never heard that one, dude.
I guess I'll have to change my ways.
I accept defeat on that one.
Yeah, it's definitely a long John, bro.
One out of four is not bad.
But we can all, we can all.
Where is other three?
We can all agree that in six,
in six months it's just Northern Montana.
That's what we can all agree on.
We're taking, we're taking Canada.
Yeah, I think we're well on our way.
Yeah, you're done.
Z06.
Z06.
Zed.
It's not Zed.
Zed, hot six.
How do you, how do you call a letter a whole word?
Yeah, Zed.
You secretly love Phil?
I do.
Yeah, she's got a fucking thing for Phil.
She's got great taste.
That makes sense because I believe
that's where Miata Racing originated.
Was in Canada.
I think you're right.
It does seem very French and also other things.
French, Canadian.
Kevin, do other Mormons race?
Do other Mormons race and build cars or is it just you?
Exactly, exactly.
Dude, what do you guys work on?
I'm gonna tell them that you're drinking alcohol.
I want everything, dude.
Fuck, we've got a shop full of shit, dude.
Hey, that's funny.
Dude, I've been watching you guys on YouTube lately.
That fucking Ferrari is cool as shit.
Yeah, I can't wait for that one.
It's finally in the body shop, dude.
It's badass, dude.
That thing's cool.
I can't wait to drive it.
Hey, when's the first gen Bronco
getting mocked up on YouTube, on the chassis?
It's coming by real quick.
Do you want to see the body?
Yeah, I do.
Let's see it.
That thing's gonna be sick.
You've got to put it, look, put them right here.
Yeah, that looks badass, dude.
Then we can't hear them with no microphone.
Well, it's...
Oh, yeah, they got...
They might have the front end off of it,
but they got a lot of it built already.
The whole tub is built.
Oh, shit.
You're not here every time.
Yeah, I got them.
Truck.
Truck?
He talks like a...
He's a mini trucker.
He talks like a...
Give him a hard break.
Like a normal American talks.
No.
Truck?
Yeah, here's the body.
Hey, guess what?
Hey, the men are talking.
What the fuck do you go?
I bet you can beat his ass.
100%.
I'm like...
Did you already shit?
Yeah, it's not...
Don't.
You already raised the wheel?
Wheel hoses and shit?
Roadster cop.
Yeah.
I told him I got my top guy on it.
Who's got shit to say?
The law.
Shit the fuck, though.
Are you making Dave work?
Is that Will?
I don't...
Oh, where's Will?
I don't think Will likes us.
Will loves us, dude.
Well, there's Will.
Yep.
Easy, bro.
Wait, Will's already gone, bro.
Come on.
And she just leaves early.
Is that Wednesday?
Well, it's 45.
They gone, dude.
Where's your dad?
My dad only works on Friday.
Thursday.
Yeah, only on Friday.
He does the tours.
Does the tours.
But tell them how you like love me now.
So, I started off, we got on the podcast
and she said, I'm just gonna let you know,
I thought you were a huge dickhead
when I first met you.
And that's how we started this off.
Did you at least set her straight?
Did you stick up for me?
Enormous dickhead.
I know.
You were like, he's a fucking dick.
That's not what I fucking said.
I said, look, Josh has a very hard shell.
He's like an M&M.
That's a good...
But once you get in there...
It's a good comparison.
A peanut M&M or a regular M&M?
Yeah, once you get past the shell, it's sweet.
It sucks.
Peanut butter M&M, kinda gooey.
Oh, Phil's a peanut butter M&M.
Possibly replaced.
You know, they're all amazing.
Josh, I talked to Josh the most.
But we gotta figure this guy out.
I gotta have her.
She's...
I love Jeremy, but we just don't see
either I on the Stallone Reynolds thing.
That's really just a rift in our relationship.
You're Stallone, right?
You're Stallone?
Of course he's not.
Dude, do you think that drives a stake between us, Kevin?
I feel like we can work...
I think we can work, but I think we could be closer
if we could see eye to eye.
We can work...
We need to have a conversation...
Dude, let's work through this.
Cause I love you, man.
And I think we can work through this.
I really do.
I have so much respect for you.
I think...
I think you just need to sit down
and have a conversation eye to eye
and I'll listen to what you have to say.
I think if you will publicly denounce Stallone...
I won't publicly denounce her, but I think...
Dude, I'll say this.
I think Kevin could bring a better argument than you can.
And I'd be willing to listen to it.
I'm not gonna be bullheaded on it.
I'll listen to it.
Like at some point...
Dude, Seema, let's sit down.
Let's have a fucking cocktail.
Hey, are you guys gonna come back out and do round three?
We're gonna do another podcast.
Let's go out there.
Let's go there.
Oh yeah, let's do it.
Let's do it at your place.
I'm in.
Can I come?
Can I come?
All right, we're...
No bullshit, we're playing in it.
Can you just up?
That's Phil.
That's Phil.
That's Phil.
Fuck you, Phil.
Did you just up?
I was right here and then it just fell off.
Phil, Phil, uh...
Yeah.
All right, no, serious, no bullshit.
Even everybody's listening.
We're gonna do another podcast, but...
With me and KevDrop.
We'll send a letter.
We'll send a letter and let you know when it's gonna happen.
We're gonna do...
We're doing it at...
We're doing it at Kendig.
In Dave's office.
In Dave's office.
We're doing it in Dave's office.
Can you send me out?
On the racing...
We're on the racing desk chair.
We're doing...
I'm in.
Kevin's gotta get the fucking word.
Yeah.
But okay, we're gonna twerk.
Appreciate it, buddy.
You guys have an amazing rest of your podcast
and I will listen to it soon.
Thanks, buddy.
Love you, man.
Later.
Later, dude.
You're gonna get the dude fired.
Yeah.
He's got work to do.
He's got work to do.
Nothing like getting drunk about five o'clock.
I'm gonna get a job job.
Oh, first of all...
All right.
I'm gonna...
We're gonna take a restroom break.
Oh, that happens?
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
Okay, so me as a female in this industry...
I have no tits show.
But I haven't done it.
And here I am.
This is me looking at Phil.
And it's not me being a dick.
I just can't make eye contact.
This is like Josh the first time you met him
where he's not looking at you.
And here I am.
And I'm a female.
And I'm not...
Moly, moly, moly.
And you know what?
No disrespect to the women that are doing that.
Like 100%, like go fucking go for it.
But like...
You've done a very classy job of presenting your brand.
Yeah, 100%.
So my parents, and again, John, Doreen,
like integrity, respect.
So I don't wanna do anything
that will jeopardize those two things.
So I wanna look back when I'm 15 and be like,
hey, yeah, like I honored my integrity.
I did this with integrity.
I respected myself.
And at the end of the day,
like I don't give a fuck, don't like me.
I don't care.
I could fucking care less.
But if you respect me, different.
Yeah, right.
You can not like people,
but respect them.
And that's where I'm at.
I'm like, do I wanna like...
I'm hoping a lot of people respect me.
I'm just going for that.
But at my age, like...
At 30.
Right?
Yeah.
Metric.
Metric 30.
But like I kind of, like I'm not gonna lie.
46 years old.
Like I'm like, did I think I would like...
A metric 30 is 45, isn't it?
I think so.
Yeah, I forgot that.
It's one and a half times.
Conversion ratio, but...
I don't know.
Like 46, I'm not to my own harm,
but like I don't look like
I thought I would look at 46.
Do you feel like you look...
Metric 45 is 30.
Do you feel like you look better
than you thought you would look at 46?
100%.
Yeah.
Yeah, 42.
I mean, I'm 43.
Kilometers.
Oh, why?
You're a fucking baby.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And look at how,
look at what he looks like to be that young.
You look great at look.
But I remember...
I'm on a mission though.
I'm on a mission where I'm like,
you think I'm middle-aged?
You, okay?
You, middle-aged?
I'll fucking prove you wrong.
Well, I was...
I want to do everything to prove you wrong.
What's funny is, I look at like...
Way past middle-aged.
No, we're the same age.
Nobody was quite like that.
What are you talking about?
Yeah.
And you look so much better than Josh.
I'm not making it to 90.
So much better than 90.
I'm not making it to 90.
Oh.
There you are.
What'd you say?
She agrees with you?
No.
But I just...
He said you look so much better than Josh.
She said, yeah, I hope I do.
No, I'm like, okay.
Fell?
Or were you talking about saying you make it to 90?
In the 40s?
No, I just want to remember our parents at this age.
That's what I was just going to get into.
Like, 40s, when I was a kid,
I remember going to my dad's,
my mom threw a surprise party for my dad,
for his 40th.
And I remember being at like legitimately sad.
Because I saw the gifts that they were giving out.
And I'm like, this is the end of the road for my dad.
I'm like, I don't know how much longer
he's going to be around.
You viewed that at that old age?
Yeah, he was.
I viewed it as so damn old.
Go ahead and finish.
Kill him across the board.
I'm faithing you.
Yeah, kill him.
But then I looked at like my mom and her friends,
and that was the era of like warm-up suits, you know?
Yeah, you're talking like mid-80s.
But she probably looks super fucking hot.
No, they did not look good at all.
To you, at like that age.
Well, to nobody.
They weren't like fit like, you know, the Ford.
Like, our wives are all.
I'm about to fucking rumble you right now,
but keep going.
Why?
No, I'm giving you a compliment.
I'm saying our, like our wives and all their friends,
like everybody's super fit.
They go to the fucking gym.
Because we have to be, you know why?
Every day.
They're like muscular.
What's this?
These are, we fill the bottle,
so you get to autograph it.
Nobody's wearing parachute pant material warm-up suits.
Josh, buttons.
No, so I will say like, I think you guys are lucky,
where it's like, I think there's a percent,
like there's a percentage of women where we're like,
fuck that, I'm not doing that.
Fighting that number.
The men are doing the same thing.
I won't do it.
No, shelf life.
You wanna hear my philosophy?
Men have a shelf life.
Women have a shelf life, so.
What is the life?
What is the age?
So women, as we age, we have a shelf life, okay?
What is it?
I don't know the number, but like it,
like our shelf gets, where you find us attractive,
there's a shelf life.
However, with men, we're like, oh, great beer, great, like.
A lot of money, money, shit doesn't come out, coming out.
I'm gonna pay you, anyway, I don't need you,
I don't need your money, but.
Don't think about me, I'm just.
I'm just saying, there's probably women out there
like that, but I will tell you wholeheartedly,
like I will fucking, I'm not taking your money.
You're gonna be my bitch.
Oh.
100% that, yeah, no, yeah, Josh is like.
I didn't do that.
Yeah, but that's the way I work, that's the way I work.
But you're interested, it's interesting you say
the shelf life of the, you just, that is.
We have a shelf life, 100%.
Yeah, you can search the internet a little further.
No, we do.
You'll be like, oh, that's, I didn't expect that.
No, but there's a reason why men, men, they're, okay,
but there's a reason why men are like, okay,
single, yari, yari, yara, like let's go be
with a 20 year old.
Like it gives you something,
which is whatever, fucking, I don't care,
but I just think we have a shelf life.
So for me, I will say being like this influencer, right?
I have a shelf life.
How many years do you think you got left?
Two, I'm 46 on Friday.
You think you got two years left?
I'm 46 on Friday.
What do you think's gonna happen in the next two years?
I'm gonna get really fucking old.
No, I disagree with that.
But I'm striving to be better.
So here's the mindset is I'm gonna fucking prove you wrong.
Your shelf life, fuck you.
That's the mentality you're supposed to have.
I will fucking prove you wrong.
And at 50, I'm gonna look better than I did at 20.
Why do you think I'm wearing red chucks at 47 years old?
Yeah, like, but we know what happened is a question.
That's a bold question to ask in this crowd.
But that's what I'm saying is like,
I just, I don't wanna be.
You fight the, fight the number.
And I could like show my tits and like,
I don't have any better things.
Well at 50, that's maybe not what you wanna do.
It depends.
We went into that a little bit,
but then we got derailed because you, the,
Do you want?
Go, go Josh.
I think that, I think that speaking from just me personally,
I'm very, I don't know what the type of personality is,
but I'm very, you know, organized
and like I gotta put up like barriers.
I gotta compartmentalize or put things in the boxes.
I don't know, we could, that's the,
that's a, that's a,
Do you want to dig into that?
That's the different.
Let's peel back the hairs on this.
That's a fucking different.
Like you haven't had like, like, look at me.
Like, like, why are you so protected?
Like let's talk about that.
Why do you have to be?
Show us on the dial.
So you show me that you're very masculine,
but why do you have to prove that?
That's all the front.
It's a complete front.
No, don't say that.
What do you, why do you think it is?
Oh, here we go.
And we go to commercial break.
Yeah, I thought, I thought Jeremy said mean things.
I actually think that you are more sensitive
than you want to let on.
And that sensitivity is a weakness.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah, you nailed the head on, nailed it, nailed it.
Yeah, so you're like,
I don't want to play this card because I'm weak.
Yeah, you don't want to give anybody the power over you.
100% it doesn't though.
Fuck that.
Like you let that in.
I'm so sensitive.
Like, like, I'm like, I'm, oh man, my heart, my heart.
Like I hurt.
Yeah, but why do you give some,
I don't want to give anybody the power
of letting them know that I was sensitive
and that hurt me.
No.
Because, get a win at all costs.
Like he's like, I feel like you're going to cry.
Well, no, I'm just, I'm wondering, I'm like, when,
I wanted to know like, when have I ever actually
like seriously hurt you?
You're saying, no, it's not like that.
Have any of my comments been,
Is there any no?
97 to 99% of the things you say, cut to the bone.
No, no.
That's a pretty good win percentage.
No, no, you guys are like, fuck it.
Okay, therapy session.
You're in that brotherly ban,
you're the brotherly, like, oh, hey,
like your brotherly banter.
When he says something, he's going to fuck you up.
Oh, you'll go, you'll go home crying.
Okay, Phil, what are we thinking right now?
Tell me what your perception of me is, go.
Of you?
Please.
Go, go.
I don't have one.
Go, you have to have one.
I don't.
Bullshit.
Fucking go, spill it.
Nope.
Jeremy, go.
If my perception of you,
I think you're,
I think you're pretty,
I think you're pretty confident.
I think you, I think you really enjoy what you're doing.
I think you're a little excited to be in this environment
because you feel like, you know, maybe this is,
maybe this is like the big leagues
and you're sort of like tinkering,
but I don't think that, in my opinion,
that's not really the case.
I think you're doing something really fucking cool
and that it, you know, it's fun hanging.
It's fun shooting the shit, but I don't know.
You keep trying to give,
tell us to take a moment and understand,
you know, and be proud of what we've built.
You've got to take your own medicine, right?
You got to take your own medicine.
And where I was going with that is how,
you know, I compartmentalize things
or I put people in boxes, right?
It's not to be mean, it's how my fucked up brain has to work.
You always talk about, when they say things like,
you're a one-trick pony
or somebody says you're a one-trick pony,
people think that that's a bad thing, right?
People think that that's a negative connotation.
That's a good trick.
So I look at it like I have,
I would rather somebody be the best trick pony, right?
Then, try it.
No, no, no, it's an analogy.
No, I get it.
I get it, right?
Analogy.
But you see, I'm talking about specifically
in the influencer space or even in the car builder space
when they're trying to figure out social media
and trying to brand.
It's hard.
It's hard being me when I'm with you.
But you, this is a-
What are we talking about?
Like-
You're being you, that's the point.
That's the point.
That's what I'm trying to say,
is you are being you, you're an enthusiast,
you're talking about everything that you've done.
Yeah, like this is who, like everything you do is it.
You see-
Nobody wants the fake version of that.
You see people, especially on the female side all the time,
and I get it.
I respect that.
Go full-blown for an object insertion only fans,
if you want to, right?
And make that your thing.
But here's my thing.
Go do the thing.
Please, guys, respect at the end of the day.
At the end of the day.
Who, who, who do you respect?
I respect hustle and being true to their craft
at the end of the day.
Look, yes, I would agree with that.
There has, there's been people that have reached out-
You're smart.
Well, there's been people that have reached out
on multiple occasions-
Yes.
To do this podcast, that have done things like Josh
just talked about, we're not interested in.
Like, you can, there's websites,
there's websites you can go to
and you can check that shit out.
Does anybody wants to go to them?
Check them out.
So I said to him today, I was like, why me?
This is a podcast, well, this is a podcast about,
like, talking about people that are into car shit.
And you've built a cool C-10.
It's interesting to unpack what the ideology is behind it,
where the fucking truck's going.
Like, you know?
I don't know.
Just surrounded yourself by some cool people.
We love, we love to have a conversation with somebody
that, you know, we, first of all,
we've said it before, we'll continue to say it.
We're gonna only do these when it's something
that we are generally interested in.
I'm just saying-
Regardless of the outcome,
sometimes the outcome's not that great.
Sometimes the outcome's awesome.
But we're gonna initiate the conversation
and schedule the podcast and have the podcast.
Because at the beginning, it was at least something
that we were interested in having.
There's a set of questions.
They're like, there's layers to pull back.
The Canada thing was off-putting, honestly.
It would've probably-
Phil, no, no, I'm so disappointed.
It's not advantageous.
But, okay, let me tell you.
Did I win you over?
Yes.
Yeah.
And there he is.
It's fun to listen to you talk.
It is.
But there-
Where is the list?
Let's go.
We've already come to this.
There was only four names on the list.
No, really?
Yeah, it was all it was given.
So when he messaged me, it was, okay, let's scale.
How many of them did you ignore first before you?
No, nobody.
So when, like, I honestly, no joke.
Like, three months ago, I was like,
because I manifest, that's what I do.
And then I thought, I was like, man.
Like, if this fucking, like, if this-
Man.
Half a dick.
Half a dick.
If this could happen, I thought, I was like,
if they ever reach out to me, then I know, like,
like, I must be doing something right.
And then he messaged me and I was like,
fucking asshole.
This was the asshole, dude, from the party.
Really?
And I ran outside to my husband and I was like,
I don't know, I don't know.
Like, Josh from, like, he was like, what?
I'm like, fuck, no idea.
But I feel I have a story to tell
and it's just a different perspective.
I'm not a builder.
I'm not a fabricator.
I'm an enthusiast.
And here we are.
That's what I told you on the, we were talking today.
That's what is so important, I think.
So you guys are like, God to me.
Sorry.
We appreciate that.
It is-
Like, not to be a loser.
I'm like, fangirling.
When it's, when you've been in the industry for so long
and I've always used the analogy forever.
When you see, I look at it wizard of all,
it's right?
When you see behind the curtain, right?
Yeah.
And you're like, oh, so that's like this
and this is like that and that's how this is.
No, but you guys are like the real chef.
Phil, I'm gonna play with you.
I'm gonna take your mic away from this.
You're gonna listen to the-
We're doing standard questions.
No, she's on her way.
She's currently doing it.
Are you gonna deep dive?
Yeah, she's currently doing a deep dive.
You're manifesting your-
Yeah.
She's been working on this all night.
I'm sitting back and listen.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
Phil, let's go.
Come on.
I wasn't ready for the therapy session.
I'm gonna put my feet up.
Tell me about your childhood.
Let's go.
Yeah, tell her about it.
I don't need a therapy session here.
I'm gonna get on this.
Did you feel like there was a standard
that you just couldn't live up to?
Yeah.
But your dad, so like school me,
your dad had a shop, right?
So he funded this.
Eh, sort of.
No, but so here's the thing.
I'm not gonna, like,
but you guys fucking made it what it is.
So you can't be like, oh yeah.
Like there's people, they're like,
oh well their dad gave them the money,
but it's like your fucking business.
We got a lot of that.
Right, but your fucking business smarts.
And this is my thing.
With Zenova, it's like if people are like,
oh well fucking garage built.
Yeah, look, he threw some money at it
and bought this like little, little old hot rod shop.
You did this.
And the byproduct is this.
Dude, I'm stepping in.
I'm stepping in, right?
Yeah, go ahead.
All right, this is from outside looking in, right?
Well, no, I'm outside.
No different than anybody else that took on a customer
that had a wealthy customer that invested in.
It's not just that.
Like you knew what you were doing.
Completely different, completely different.
So they.
You knew what you were doing.
The stigma.
We figured out what we were doing.
The stigma and the shying away.
Everybody, you know, the easy thing to throw out is like,
oh of course you could do this with, you know,
daddy's money, right?
The problem is nobody takes the time
to sit back and think.
Forget about, forget about all the work
that you guys have put in, the talent you put in.
Just step back.
Simple statistics.
Simple statistics.
It does.
Tell me how many second generation companies succeed.
No, but here we are.
How many times does the second generation
live up or surpass the previous generation standards?
100% this roaster shop, you guys.
That's the thing.
I don't know the percentage,
but it's probably not huge.
Generally.
You're not, seriously.
So as somebody who is like a fucking complete outsider,
take pride in this.
Like look at what you fucking build.
And being nicer to your employees.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter that you had like a backing to start it.
You're the only one that would say we're not nice to them.
No, but it doesn't matter that you had a backing to start it.
It's who you are and what you fucking did.
You build a lot of work ethic and.
Right.
So you wouldn't be who you are today without your dad,
but you also fucking did what you did
because of what he ingrained you.
Like he didn't like, like.
Oh, there's no question about it.
Or you could phrase it as,
you are 100% where you are because of your dad.
What he did for you and what he said to you.
But they're dry.
And that's not a bad thing.
No, I would agree with that.
It's 100% what he said.
No, but if they're so hindsight,
if your dad just was like,
okay, like leave it what it is and not have you two involved,
where would it be?
Look, how many times did he call you a fucking moron?
A lot.
All right.
I was looking at you guys.
But you.
And it was every time it was warmly justified.
Every time it was justified.
How many times did he ask you what was wrong with you?
Daily.
A lot.
No, that was what I was younger.
Yeah, I was younger.
It was, are you a fucking moron?
Or is there something fucking wrong with you?
Are you on fucking drugs?
Yeah.
Are you on fucking drugs?
And it was warranted.
But I was younger when that was.
That was like pre Roadster shop.
Yeah, of course.
That set the stage that like paved the path for who I am.
Exactly.
And, you know, I would say like, you know, he.
Yeah, sure.
Like my dad had a lot of success.
He built an incredible fucking company.
And I will never deny the fact that he helped get this whole thing started.
There's no fucking question about it.
I'll give him all the fucking praise in the world.
He's he's my fucking idol.
And he always will be.
But what he instilled in me is that I'll fucking outwork any motherfucker
that wants to go to battle with me.
Like, and we built a bad ass fucking company, me, Phil and him.
And, you know, he stepped aside a long time ago and me and Phil pushed
like fucking hell to build a hell of a company and pushed pushed.
And, you know, it's we surround ourselves by some incredible fucking people.
And yeah, still to this day, like it's like it just comes down to work.
I mean, it's fucking work.
I mean, that's what it is.
Like, I can take it.
I can take the opportunity because, you know, no, this is.
Josh has been there since my old man was around me.
We the best conversation.
They were they were.
He's one of the only people that my old man liked.
Yeah. Josh is Josh is a rare.
He's a rare individual that broke through and him and my old man.
We had a we had a lot.
They had a fucking bond.
Like, no, he passed away in 2019.
Yeah, we had a we had a.
Yeah, they both smoked.
Yeah, they had a bond like nobody.
They had a bond like nobody else in this industry did.
You're right.
Different different bond.
Yeah, me, me, me and me and Neil had had a bond.
But I will say, regardless of that, as important as that is, I know as long
as I've known Phil and Jeremy and again, that's that's that's O5.
I was we were friends and customers and on the outside, right?
So I was I was privy to conversations and, you know, accusations is the wrong word.
But like insinuations or and like feel, you know, we've we've all been
in the same conversations about other, you know, shops and stuff like that.
The everything that they're that that Neil, I want to say their father,
that Neil was and that he instilled into them and even even taught me
in this damn smoke breaks and.
Could say him and George Pete, George,
Poteet are the only people that could say a book's worth of knowledge
in three or four words, right there.
And it seems simple until you dissect it.
And you're like, holy shit, that's so fucking credible, Dr.
Horrible, but that's that.
Yeah, fuck.
But we got along so great.
I everything that he taught you as far as how to beat people.
Great.
There's seed money to buy a fucking shop that was fledgling
that you were already working with and you figured out who gives a shit about that.
Means nothing, right?
The people that he taught you in the.
The chip that you had to have had on your shoulder or the
the bar that was raised because.
Oh, it's so easy because, you know, you had money and you bought a company
and you could buy a renegade and you could do this.
That chip on their shoulder to prove that it's not that easy
is also it just as of important of a piece of it.
As is anything because.
Like it would be easy to be like, oh, yeah, we just do this.
We do the hot rods, blah, blah, blah.
There's there's always been.
And again, I love these guys like brothers and I don't have any brothers,
but these two are my brothers and.
Second generation growing up with things.
And this dude had a backpack.
Super soaker.
Let's write.
He grew up with a backpack.
Super so.
Right.
So he was.
Geodro aircraft carrier.
I didn't have to find a joker.
He was of means, right?
He he danced around on horses, right?
Like this of means.
Generally, 99.9 percent of the time.
That generation that grows up with those things does not have the work ethic
that they do and deprive themselves of the things that they could have.
To to get to the next level and to take care of their employees
and to build the business to the next level and forever will have the utmost
respect and it's never probably been said that way on the podcast.
But it's it's a fucking I've had it in private conversations before
when I've told people like you you guys have no fucking idea what you're talking
about like you don't and.
He loves you and it's mutual respect.
You're this is you're never coming on here again.
This is a time for like shit talking each other, not to be nice.
And nice.
It is love.
We love.
But seriously.
Oh, cheers to fucking Neil and everything
that guy that he did to you guys.
I think you have to cling after cheers and have to drink.
It's bad luck if you don't.
Oh, how's it going?
Hey, what what projects are you working on?

No, it's a real Nova.

black gold chrome also in that category like here's a weird thing as my dad I
feel like wanted a fleet line there's a lot of Mexican Canadians so here so so I
just did a whole share the share borders and I had no idea that the whole low
rider scene formed essentially the same way the hot rod scene did it was like
these mechanics they were like World War II like yeah same same years same
years just different different genres yeah it's super cool and so anyways I
like I've got respect for it so it's the CD CD no doubt
fuck off really really we're gonna go to just shot in the dark a lot of
of more said that's easy that's easy really I don't know that angry well I
don't know we need we're not angry isn't yeah a hundred percent it's like breakup
music okay Aerosmith Cypress Hill then for what the fuck is it I feel like I

getting somewhere yeah I feel like the toxicity yeah a hundred percent yeah
yeah okay now now we can we can meet on an even playing field do what are you
gonna no it's not it's not about me to top it but that we're trying to find an
even playing field yeah system of down was a different that
genre I love what's the toxicity of the city okay yeah yeah okay so back in my
day there was this bar it was called the back alley and like every time I think
it was limp biscuit faith would come on like everybody jump up on the fucking
tables and we would have like napkins and it was everybody have faith and you
would just like like I was a total punk rock girl back in the day this is a side
bar question not in our standard standard questions does does all of
Canada like take a week off and then wait to see what America does and then do
the same thing the next week really I want I want to know if like everybody's
like maybe we're what are you guys doing and then we'll do that okay well I will
tell you what I'm doing and I'm not fucking waiting for what you're doing

probably tell them that before you like serve them food so anyways they told
them blah blah blah I'm paying the bill next thing I look at the front door and
the waiter fucking clocks my brother-in-law in the head that's that's new
that's out of the norm so what I heard was what the fuck did you
call me and then he fucking clocks my brother-in-law and I was like alright
cheesecake to the order yeah I'm just gonna go sit in my
mom's car that I borrowed anyways so I'm sitting in there so we leave my
husband comes out gets in the car next thing I know I see like the Hawks
helicopter on like the spotlight on my mom's car like the car I'm driving and
I'm like so bad anyways I like like I turn they pull us over they arrest my
husband they're like yeah you were you were a fucking dick like all this shit
and I was like okay but like in all honesty like the the waiter through the
first punch it wasn't at like the waiter through the fucking first punch so my
uncle's a cop and I was like can you just tell him can you just tell me Constable
Ross Thompson that like his knees like it was a whole thing so they let us go
but it was yeah so there's that that wasn't cool my uncle was not impressed so
Bonnie and Clyde that's what my parents call us other than that so when I was a
kid it's not what you know it's who you know no when I was a kid in turn of
there was a thing called the bargain barn and that's where second hand stuff
would go so my girlfriend and I we were out drinking and we wanted to get home
so we stole bikes from the bargain barn and we were like peddling home and the
cops pulled us over and then my girlfriend was like oh you know my dad
like 10000000 I was like what the fuck you're totally routing us out and
yeah that's pretty much like the only trouble I've been in I'm an angel you
are last but not least final question ready cat or ski do speed round standard
questions okay go you can build anything you want to build no budget right
unlimited zero budget unlimited funds okay Canadian or us okay any builder any
build you got to pick the build you can't build it yourself okay oh no that's
it well first of all you don't you don't dictate the rules you can you can pick a
dream team you can pick whatever but it's got to be the vehicle give us some
description of the build and who's building it okay so like I would have
said the 62 Impala the bubble top okay that was like I would say as of late but
then I saw that Pontiac what do we call it which Pontiac John's no bomb oh you
want your she's big into a bomb she's she's wanting a bomb she's one she's
one like a fleet line or something like that swamp cooler a little rider oh
right right here builds I feel like who's gonna build it like okay so if if I
if I could if I had the ability it's unlimited budget no budget right right
dream world I still think I would want to do it but you're keen you can't why you
got to pick somebody that's the point why can't I have you help me but that's
not how it is you can be the customer that says who you can be that's I'm gonna
say it right here I'm sturdy listen I'm gonna say right here that that answer
sucks and it's come up you I apologize but it's come up a number of times where
people are just like oh yeah I'll fucking build it myself like I'm not saying I
can build it myself but I'm a help me I would consider myself somebody that's
been in the industry for a long time you know people might look at me as somebody
who's like short short I respect you super mean short mean and been behind a
lot of averagely talented average cars but I would pick there's a lot of
builders out there there's a lot of people that I don't know who I there's a lot of
builders out there that I had but you'd pick somebody yeah that I would pick I
could give you I mean I could go on for days of people that I like I could just
go and here's a people that I admire that I would be like dude like I
just went to Columbus Ohio it's like you want me you want my fingers and I pick
you want to build a roaster last year and I told you Ellen Johnson this year I'm
gonna tell you Henry from steadfast yeah like Henry fucking roaster this year
was the shit I'll tell you here but but respectfully here's the difference
between you and me I don't know that okay I'm not I'm not on that side of the
coin I am on the side of the coin that's garage build so I don't I don't know I
respect 100% if you can be like hey this guy does this and this guy does
that I will fully respect that but at the end of the day that's not the side of
the world I'm in I'm in like garage build so it's like I want to do the best
with what I can have so if you can teach me if you can come and be
like hey I'm gonna teach you about the geometry of like this and that I will
wholeheartedly listen to that and respect that and love that but you're
not just like oh chip booze I want like no I like I need to say it I respect the
guys that are fucking grinding it took me ten years I watched me okay like
like my pick to help her with that build yeah help her with the build yes
great that's a great idea what first of all what color what's the color well
for what's the color you just said a bomb I know what's the first color that
pops in your head like if you look under my hood black black a smoke chrome and
what it what what's the vehicle that cuts out most of the builders you were
thinking smoke chrome because that was well what was well black chrome we're
putting be BBT is at the top of the fucking no no here's here here's my
pick everybody can make make their pick go ahead I'm making my pick that South
City yeah with what we don't even know what kind of car it's a it's a 46
fleet line yeah he knows okay 46 fleet line yeah I feel like that's like my
like she's one a traditional bomb right she's one a traditional bomb I want to
be classy I want to be like I'm over they would they would kill it on the mile
custom exactly right and then there's a cruiser and cuz you know is there as
she's not as cholo as she's trying to be right but her that's the car though
that's what a bomb is alright here's my good here's my pick it's South City
Josh's man South City South City to handle the heavy lifting Kev dog and
Vinnie Kev dog for for inspiration along the way that's that's just want the
authenticity from Vinnie well of course you gotta have the right
amount of cholo thrown in there you can't fake it so that's the thing I don't
want to take away from like what the car was right well I wanted to be what it
was just that's why I threw the dream team that's why I threw the dream team
together so Kevin is like chassis Kevin's a pretty face he's gonna make sure
it happens chassis is from oh you here yeah so Kevin's not chassis roaster
shots yeah but that's where he fleet line build for her who's the dream team
for you who you pickin that's you that that is a but I like like
I want like black very difficult or black and gold yeah something I don't
want anything like I know I've gone I've gone to the coal foster well so much
though I was I was afraid to go there he's coming on the podcast here's
girl like I don't want like my truck and I say I always laugh I'm like true it's
okay Evan says true true it's honestly best that you just drive like you're
like a man's driver why I'm kidding I'm kidding yeah you want to arm wrestle
I got a rotator coffee she was fucking whole thing I just love my truck cuz
like it's she's a driver I know but we're talking about building a fleet line
you got to have somebody you're like man I really want their thumb print on it
no I want mine fleet line you to tell you could probably here's what I'm thinking I
want help dude here's what I'm thinking I want I want to hear help you
put some thought in this okay I'm thinking through it and I'm thinking that
I'm gonna pair Jesse James with Rob Ida and Rob Ida it's never getting built
well Rob Ida has the upper hand Rob Ida Jesse James's car Rob Ida has the upper
James Rob Ida has the upper hand yeah upper cuts him no yeah but Rob Ida is
steering it and Jesse James is his resource so but Jesse like the car that
you guys have right now you want to talk about that you're trying to get the
cholo you're right you're right James don't son Vinnie you're right you're
right you're right that sucks for Vinnie yeah Vinnie kind of plays Mexican
he's not really brings just pure talent and ingenuity and vision it's a great
vision dude it's a great you just white people just pay the bills that's this
cholo style you have to pay the ones like what like I saw him in Canada like
cholo you don't cholo it's a whole country away from here yeah but that's
what a bomb that you got to get the bomb to get it I'm learning right to get an
authentic bomb a white person's gonna have to pay a cholo to get there really
yeah it's just it's not it's not I fucking dig it like it's just the way it
is like like that's a cruise gotta pay respect to what to what what it is dude
bottom line my fucking team I know your team wins your team is the problem is
is the problem is Rob Jesse James and Rob Ida Rob Ida is gonna take ten years
Jesse James gonna Peter out at like two and a half right he's done he's not
gonna hang in for the long haul yes he did it's gonna get done no I'm gonna
manage it I'm just telling you I think we're on a better page I know we
gotta get we gotta get thing wrapped up and get it on on the road into the show
I don't know I think that you got an amazing dream team you have a management
dilemma you have a management dilemma on your it on your hands dream belt tell
me oh it changes it changes like every day
that's the thing it's like it's like a woman it really does yeah I would say
our dream I think any podcast it changes it really much today I mean
honestly right now gun to head ambiguously gay duo car you know that
detail reference wiping it down I'll tell you like I I pivot constantly right
now I'm into the back of your truck every day I'm so fucking stoked about the
the Rooters are odd 57 can be rudders rudders rudders are out there's no
the Rooters no Rooters in there they're 57 Cadillac broom it was just it was
Columbus I think that is such a bitch in fucking car the proportions on that car
are nuts and I don't know I mean they did a very good job with it and I don't
know if it was them or Cadillac but the car is just good right my brother I'm
gonna so I'm gonna this is gonna be such a fucking cliche move I'm taking that
car and I'm throwing it I'm just giving it to fucking Troy I'm busy we have a lot
going on we're moving into a new fucking chassis shop where we've got this is
yours handle the shit dude I'm gonna take the one that Mike just build okay but
the rudders rod it's so good but but that car has been built so
you have to build a new one I got you another one yeah and I don't want to be
the cliche of like I'm gonna have to ride rides but you're doing that you're
doing that exact thing but I'm I'm go I'm going with it
going no budget fucking rad rides build oh right I think yeah I that's today but
that's your problem you should have gone went to Adam because
Troy honestly I mean dude you see that looking his eyes at Columbus he's fucking
lost it he's gonna he's gonna show up you're gonna be like I want this 57
Cadillac Broam four-door choice like George for he's gonna show up with a
third-gen Camaro and be like this is just like it no it's you think third-gen
Camaro's gonna be done a third-gen Camaro's not done until 20 36 choice like
George Foreman he's still throwing fucking knockout punches at the tail like
at the absolute tail end of his career I don't disagree with that I see them
looking similar and I don't mean disrespect you do you mean it with all
utmost respect all I'm saying is he's still throwing fucking bombs I know
that's what I'm saying even with that fucking compression breaks on his leg
Troy that's where I'm going Troy will go down right now that's where I'm at
next week will be something different honestly I mean as the years have gone
by we had him on the podcast yes for a build yeah right now I'm curious for me
today shit today just getting after it damn I haven't given
any thought to it well then you don't know honestly yeah I fucking I really
hate this this is just honest honest as it can be yeah I think we're gonna have
to kill Troy Japan why because he's given he were giving him too much love but
we gave you know we've it's been a while he has been a while but I want to I want
to do I want to do a chicane 2.0 dude it wouldn't be the same you only two point
over here verse cut my sleeves off verse Glenn Glenn's fucking cool and it's
2.0 it's not it's not as cool as 1.0 but it's fucking cool you need to do like a
fair lane that's gonna be like dumb and dumber to know that you could do a
biscuit you could do a biscuit galaxy or galaxy sucks it's game no post galaxy
suck nobody wants galaxies George Poteet wanted galaxies and even he wanted L.S.
in a great galaxy he's gonna fucking break I'm just telling you galaxies are
it's a little bit more of a it's a list it's a live-risted fucking car you had
your opportunity to build the chicane 2.0 and all you did was sell a chassis what
the flat roof car what it's not it's not over yet it is no yeah I was copied on
an email oh my goodness not over yet and we're working through it so Josh all of
us all of us are and have been inspired by the flat roof yeah the chicane it
the chicane it was an impactful car for everybody that's our age in the industry
anybody who knows anything yeah and we have we own a bitch and flat roof in
palette I said even a fucking impala I said a hundred times on this podcast my
wife said she would do things with her body that she's never done before for
the chicane well okay yeah that now I'm like like what that's exactly what I
said like what exactly so that's what it's got my mind racing so we we've
recently been approached because we we own a car that's from a project
standpoint better than the chicane a 61 flat roof actual impala
black and white original fucking pain killer fucking car Josh is talking to
an individual I got the process started who he is now copying me on this email
chain right about this car and we're discussing it about simply buying a
chassis a chassis well that's where we're at right now not the whole car well
dude you you don't just run out of the bathroom with your pants
pulled around your ankles and be like look at this how old are you 43 years
alright how much have you learned how much of you learned younger right amongst
your time play if I can call don't be like did you see that look what it's
exactly right play a fucking cool man okay at least we'll see you turned it
over to me I know I'm looping you in you're like I'm done
with the shit no it's jet that's just the tip hey you think you
think that's cool okay and you're like oh man that's fucking really cool it has
you know what would be really cool look this car has the
potential to be the tip is the whole thing this car has the potential to be
one of the next tomato tomato one of the next big things in the industry and it
either be a car that's like oh yeah like roaster shop had that car laying
around and I bought it or it could be like oh roaster shop built that fucking
car but that was cool that thing yeah but I think I'm honestly disappointed in
Matt Saxon for not jumping on that I think Matt Saxon's I I don't know you
think you think he's like got it like he thinks he's got it it's got a great
hair on him yeah but yeah when's the last time he's had a car built buys a lot
of cars well he's got that everybody can buy a Porsche Tahoe from Jesse yeah but
that's it's it's been a while it's time to buy back into the industry you know
it's time to do cousin Mike you okay Joe Rogan bought your car great big deal
big deal on it doesn't Mike is flexing on a little bit doesn't Mike he's dropping
fucking cash and he's just like straight flexing oh yeah he was had
that little gun to shoot in the dollar bills at the Columbus last week well no
at the party yeah he was fucking shooting him out he was doing shit at the party
who no but who's the emcee Rod Rod Rob who's who's at the party yeah we have to
we have to we have really sure we have Tim strange him strange scares me so I
mad him as he does most women yeah yeah no well no I like so he was like oh I'm

don't want to be on the other like receiving and Sean Sean from
Autotopia LA fucking love Sean he's the he's the other Sean's they they co they
co more like so if you're looking for a lot of better hair than Tim well but Tim
is less hair but better yeah it's the conundrum Sean's Sean's good shit yeah
Sean he's John brings it like a level of natural cool that I respect class Tim is
more like I'm gonna call you like I remember Tim scrape last you're shocked
and all it kind of guy he came up and scraped was like oh and he grabbed the
mic and was like rooster shot blah blah blah I was like yeah cuz you didn't want
to be embarrassed so you fucking anticipated that I'm like grabbed it
from him and was like yeah yeah scrape had the most quoted best line of the
entire party yeah he did great job really cool or if he just through some
MMA moves that he probably could have Tim we can totally like I'm that Tim gave
us Tim gave us a little shit at Columbus last week you talk a lot of shit
when you're there on the microphone Tim got Tim got loose lips when he's the
only one the mic right he pulls a little punches when everybody's got the

old yeah right don't say that rude no it's kind of like the thing go last a last
question yeah last question oh we haven't we've been hit on this one a lot if
you were going to compare yourself or your build your seat and build to a rock
band a music band a song what would it be really yeah musical artist oh shit
that's hard yeah like it's something it's like you were you were a mistake but
I love you like what's that I feel like this should be so easy no it's not my
truck might my truck story is like a struggle okay alive she's it's been a
struggle but I love her and we're here here we are what do you listen cherry
crazy bitch what are you listening to what are you listening to in the garage
when you're working on it like to talk like like hit him off up
yeah I'm gonna fuck you 100% that's me I don't have phone yeah yeah no my truck
is I don't know she's definitely me she's my personality but we have these
two sides I feel like there's this like really chill respectful loving nostalgia
side but there's also this side where it's like what about all
them songs Vancouver no it was there was none of those right no no no big
Canadian oh I'm not like from the oh I'm not Terry oh like
Nickelback do you guys love Nickelback nobody loves Nickelback right Nickelback
didn't love me I'm like I actually really love country okay now we're talking
about yeah now we're talking about country you didn't know like 90s like 90s
old-school country play Walker George yeah yeah okay yes 100% like nobody yeah
that was that that's my jam 90s R&B hip-hop more more non more non heterosexual
question Tim McGraw or Vince Gill oh there's two things there so I feel like
Tim McGraw is like masculine and like but but Vince Gill is like emotional sexy
Vince Gill is most non proves that's a win for Jesse no it's a loss for Jesse no
what Vince Gill is the most non heterosexual Vince Gill yeah yeah he's
pretty feminine but like okay I believe that one never surface no but that's
like that's two-fold because it's like I crack myself up what Kate fill me in
because I feel like you ever met Jesse greening of greening auto company no so
just greening great builder he just built Mikey's cousin Mikey started the
podcast he's gonna be in the pool in the speedo he just built his Tahoe we've
been doing this name the builder with the musical artist or band and we've we've
pegged we've pegged Jesse with Vince Gill super super music
just a little little on the centric non side yeah Vince Gill's good yeah he is
good yeah but you're not something you're like how you know what I like to do
is go camping with Vince Gill 100% I would be if you're 100% I'd be like
start slipping away yeah cuz you're not like worried about anything happening to

About this episode
Alicia Marie joins Oil and Whiskey with Roadster Shop, and the talk swings from SEMA tickets and brand culture to the real nuts-and-bolts of making a truck “rowdy.” She explains why she ended up with a short block after piston slap and maxed-out boring, then details later upgrades like a roller cam, AFR 195cc street heads, and a Black Widow exhaust swap. The conversation also covers stance/sound priorities, transmission changes (TH-400 to 700R4), and how she stays honest when asked for specs.

Original notes
This week on Oil & Whiskey, we’re joined by Alicia Marie.
Alicia made the trip down from Canada to talk trucks, cars, content, and what it’s like carving out a real place in the automotive world without pretending to be something she’s not.
We get into the story behind her rowdy Chevy truck, her 1967 Nova, the reality of buying and fixing old vehicles, learning as she goes, and why stance and sound are at the top of the list.
Alicia also talks about balancing a corporate career with a full-blown car obsession, growing her platform, dealing with the “influencer” label, earning respect in the industry, SEMA, Roadster Shop, Canadian whiskey, Tim Hortons, and plenty of classic Oil & Whiskey chaos along the way.
Watch or listen now wherever you get Oil & Whiskey.
