everyone, but uh
00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:42.469
I got one of my very very dear friends
00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:45.990
that lives his everyday life and has
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.910
taught me so much. And um
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.350
when I asked him why he would help me,
00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:54.950
that's what he said. There's plenty for
00:01:54.960 --> 00:01:57.670
everyone. cuz at the time we were
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.749
technically
00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:02.950
the competition.
00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:09.430
That did not stop in one bit. So anyway,
00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:11.110
wow.
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.190
We got to pay the bills and then when we
00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:15.830
can pay the bills, we will immediately
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.150
bring on our guest because uh he needs
00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:20.229
no introduction. He is the goat. He is
00:02:20.239 --> 00:02:22.470
the godfather. He is the guy that taught
00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:25.750
me all that I need to know.
00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:28.390
about detailing and chemicals and
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.589
customers and everything. He is he is
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.309
truly a mentor. So, let's pay the bills.
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.191
Let's get this thing uh started.
00:02:37.201 --> 00:02:39.430
[clears throat]
00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:41.350
Take a minute to recognize the people
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.350

around the corner for any length of
00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:49.990
time, you've heard me say this, but I
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.470
think it bears repeating. I don't want
00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:54.390
sponsors on the show that I wouldn't
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.869
personally do business with. And I do do
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.150
business with because you can see that
00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:00.790
their towels are now available on
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.750
Phoenix EOD's website. Uh Thor isn't
00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:06.550
just some random company that uh that
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.869
bought 60 seconds of air time. Uh they
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.470
are people that we know, people that we
00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:12.790
work with, people whose product Phoenix
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.710
actually carries, and people who have
00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:15.990
continued to put their support behind
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.070
this goofy little thing we're building
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.630
every Saturday night. this community.
00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:22.869
Their philosophy is right there in three
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.070
word words. Built on quality. Good
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.710
microfiber, good products, good people.
00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:31.430
No BS. And whether you need serious
00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:32.949
drying towel or something ridiculously
00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:35.509
plush for that final wipe down, or just
00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:37.830
a dependable stack of microfers that's
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.710
going to earn its keep at the shop, Thor
00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:42.789
has got you covered. Head on over to the
00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:44.470
House of Rags and check out their entire

lineup and use promo code the corner.
00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:49.509
That's it. all one word and it'll save
00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:51.509
you 10% on your entire work. And when
00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:53.350

Hello, my friend.
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:15.910
>> How are you? Thank you for having me
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:19.189
once again. And hello to everybody out
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.189
there this evening. Hope you're having a
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.830
great Saturday evening. I have the shop
00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:26.150
manager by my side huffing and puffing
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:27.990
in case you might hear
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.469
>> as usual and we're ready to go. Let's
00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:31.909
let's get this thing started.
00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:35.430
>> Looks like Rich and Nate have joined our
00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:40.550
band of brotherhood sisterhood. Um, how
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.310
you been, man? It's been a It's been
00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:44.870
about a month now since I've seen you.
00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:46.870
>> Very good. Very good. Busy. keeping
00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:49.670
busy. That's the way I like it. Uh
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:51.749
semi-retirement or retirement, whatever
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.150
you want to call it. It seems that you
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.990
have less time than you actually did
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.230
before. If you start thinking about it,
00:04:58.240 --> 00:04:59.830
always something to do.
00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:01.909
>> I have a man in my life. His name is Dr.
00:05:01.919 --> 00:05:04.070
Baxter. He has been he was a professor
00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:09.749
of mine in college and um he's he's I
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.189
mean he's been everything to me. um 87
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.350
years old and he is, you know, he's
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.830
retired, but he's the busiest man I have
00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:21.590
ever met in my entire life. Just
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.230
I don't think retirement for some people
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:25.909
means exactly what it means for the rest
00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:27.189
of the world.
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.830
>> No, I once you hit that period of time
00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:31.670
in in your life when you can stop and
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.710
smell the roses, you think of all the
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.430
stuff that you enjoy that you haven't
00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:39.029
been able to do. And when you start to
00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:41.029
do them, uh, there's just so many of
00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:43.909
them, uh, it it really fills up your
00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:45.110
time. So, yeah.
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.390
>> Sure. Yeah. Al Daly in the house. And
00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:50.710
John Weber, dude, Guardian, huh? How
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.550
about Guardian? Guardian Autodetailing.
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:54.310
He has been making some content for me
00:05:54.320 --> 00:05:56.550
for my for, you know, for my YouTube
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.029
channel. Uh, actual how-to videos. They
00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:02.150

You're just going to let that float?
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:25.189
You're just [laughter] gonna let that
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:26.629
float on there? Okay. All right. I'll
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:27.270

00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:29.270
>> Where would you [clears throat] Where I
00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:30.870
was I was thinking of a starting point.
00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:32.950
Where would you like me to start? How's
00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:35.590
that? uh a return question.
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.510
>> Yeah. Well, I mean, so you've been on my
00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:39.990
show a couple of times now and um you
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.629
know, I mean, the the the the
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.230
um
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.629
the Brian origin story is pretty well
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:47.909
known and you've been on other people's
00:06:47.919 --> 00:06:49.189
shows, too. I know that you did a
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:50.629
fantastic interview with Chelsea.
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.150
Chelsea,
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.110
she's dangerous. I do not like doing
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.029
interviews with Chelsea at all because
00:06:57.039 --> 00:06:59.510
she gets me talking. She gets me, you
00:06:59.520 --> 00:07:02.150
know, she gets all the juicy stuff. She
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:03.350
comes prepared.
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:04.790
>> She does. Great.
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:06.309
>> She knows that she knows how to give an
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.150
interview without a doubt. So,
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:08.629
>> she does.
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:09.670
>> Um
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.150
>> Um So, basically, just give me a 36,000
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.950
foot view of of of Brian.
00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:20.230
>> Absolutely. Um well obviously before uh
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.670
the retirement uh stage I guess if you
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.790
want to call it that um detailing has
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.390
been a about a hu a huge chunk of my
00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:32.790
life for about 80% of my life. Uh, I
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.749
started that to pay for insurance for my
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:37.830
first car and that was at the end of a
00:07:37.840 --> 00:07:41.110
body shop obviously. Um, cleaning up
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:45.909
dust from repairs, bondo, uh, and once I
00:07:45.919 --> 00:07:47.510
got it into my blood, just like
00:07:47.520 --> 00:07:49.749
everybody else, it it just it sticks
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:51.830
with you. Um, I started different
00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:54.309
businesses, but just for an example, one
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:56.230
a trucking company, I always kept the NB
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.350
bay to detail when I didn't have to go
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.309
out because I loved it. It was in my
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.390
blood. It always will be in my blood.
00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:07.270
I'm still doing it now. Um, but just
00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:10.070
like everybody out there, I love to do
00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:13.589
it. It's it's therapy to me for for some
00:08:13.599 --> 00:08:15.670
things, especially mentally. Physically
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:17.589
now I'm kind of worn down. That's why I
00:08:17.599 --> 00:08:19.510
had to step back from it.
00:08:19.520 --> 00:08:21.510
>> Hips, shoulders, knees, nose, you know.
00:08:21.520 --> 00:08:23.830
>> Yeah. Well, I mean, so you know, I had
00:08:23.840 --> 00:08:27.670
that massive accident back in '94 and um
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.029
both of my knees were destroyed and so I
00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:33.350
knew right away that detailing for me
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.509
was probably not going to be anything
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.909
that I'm going to ever be able to really
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.269
do a lot of because Yeah, exactly there.
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:42.709
I mean, you don't think about it, but
00:08:42.719 --> 00:08:44.310
you're up and down and up and down and
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:46.389
you're squatting for forever and you're,
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.269
you know, just I mean, and if you're not
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.269
built for it,
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.750
it's no no thank you.
00:08:53.760 --> 00:08:55.590
>> Yeah. I mean, it it is physically
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.550
demanding and over a period of time, it
00:08:58.560 --> 00:09:00.949
it it can be costly if you don't take
00:09:00.959 --> 00:09:02.630
care of yourself. Um, if you're
00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:05.430
stooping, use the knee pads. Um, keep
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.150
your knees off the cold payment. Uh,
00:09:08.160 --> 00:09:10.150
watch how you bend over. Use a stool
00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:13.030
when you can uh use, you know, look for
00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:15.509
the right stool. Many ways you can go
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.630
about it, but uh yeah, it definitely you
00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:20.150
don't think about it at the time, but
00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:22.230
over a period of time, it definitely can
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:22.870
take its time.
00:09:22.880 --> 00:09:24.790
>> Oh, yeah. EMS was the same way. I mean,
00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:28.630
I beat myself up a lot in EMS. You you
00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:30.310
know, up and down and lifting and
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.389
carrying people downstairs, all kinds of
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.949
stuff. Yeah, I get you. I get you. So
00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:38.389
when you when you turned detailing into
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:42.230
a career, did you have any like mentors?
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:45.350
Did you like did you have any of the
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.030
Brian Spitlers in your life that you
00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:50.070
were could able to ask questions and and
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.230
review, you know, your channel? You've
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:53.910
tal I mean so many people that I've
00:09:53.920 --> 00:09:56.150
talked to that know you. I'm like, "Oh,
00:09:56.160 --> 00:09:57.670
I've learned so much from watching
00:09:57.680 --> 00:09:59.590
Brian's channel and this that and the
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:00.710
other thing." And I mean, and you do
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.590
have what, 200,000 subscribers on your
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.310
YouTube channel. And how many videos?
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.949
Like a bazillion videos.
00:10:08.959 --> 00:10:12.870
>> Uh 2,000 about 2,000. Just under 2,000
00:10:12.880 --> 00:10:13.670
videos.
00:10:13.680 --> 00:10:15.269
>> Holy smokes.
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.790
>> But 34 35 years ago, you know, we didn't
00:10:18.800 --> 00:10:22.630
have Reddit or forums or uh really
00:10:22.640 --> 00:10:25.670
anywhere to to to go to we didn't we
00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:29.030
couldn't be YouTube certified back then.
00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:33.509
Uh, but really I starting at a body
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:36.230
shop, I just figured out, you know, hey,
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:37.670
they need to get the dust from the
00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:40.710
interior. Uh, they need to have it smell
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.030
better. They need to get the Bondo dust
00:10:43.040 --> 00:10:45.590
uh out from the carpeting and the
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.590
upholstery. So, little by little, I
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.310
would put together what worked for me
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:53.670
and uh figured it out on my own. uh
00:10:53.680 --> 00:10:55.430
polishing when when you get to the
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.870
exterior. Polishing was simple. We had
00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:02.389
about a 24 lb rotary polisher. It was
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:06.389
this big uh made of of steel and just
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.670
all metal, heavy as all heck. And you
00:11:09.680 --> 00:11:12.470
had one pad. It was a wool pad that uh
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:15.110
had you sneezing from the fibers after
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.150
the first minute of of of working it.
00:11:18.160 --> 00:11:20.230
And that definitely built your your
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.230
stamina and your muscles up using it.
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.350
But you had one compound. It was 3M back
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.430
then. We had a pale of it with a rag
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.590
hanging out and you would just grab it,
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.430
sling it onto the car, pick up the
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.829
polishers and go. Now, yeah, that great
00:11:35.839 --> 00:11:37.430
for cutting, but if you pulled it out
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.910
into the sun, well, you obviously would
00:11:39.920 --> 00:11:43.430
see what you know, buffer buffer trails,
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.910
but that's that's what we had to do back
00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:46.630
in the day.
00:11:46.640 --> 00:11:49.910
>> And all the dusting like with the with
00:11:49.920 --> 00:11:51.990
the compounds. Um
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.630
>> yeah, and as I mentioned, you know, many
00:11:54.640 --> 00:11:58.310
times at that point uh of of time, if
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.670
you didn't know or master wet sanding or
00:12:01.680 --> 00:12:04.389
rotary polisher, you didn't have a job
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:07.509
cuz that's really all there was at that
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:10.069
point. No DA polishers, no foam pads
00:12:10.079 --> 00:12:12.870
that could help you finish down.
00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:15.350
It was It was fun.
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:19.190
>> All right.
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:20.790
And we all know that the reason why you
00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:21.990
started your channel was because you
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.949
wanted to show your boy how easy it was
00:12:24.959 --> 00:12:27.350
to create video content and then it just
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.069
kind of took off from there. And now I I
00:12:30.079 --> 00:12:31.990
I've come to you at least four or five
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.990
times talked to you about video editing
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.190
and you're just like, "Oh, it's so easy.
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:36.949
Just"
00:12:36.959 --> 00:12:39.030
And I'm just like,
00:12:39.040 --> 00:12:40.870
"I'm
00:12:40.880 --> 00:12:42.870
a noob."
00:12:42.880 --> 00:12:44.949
>> Yeah. Um
00:12:44.959 --> 00:12:47.030
Yeah. I just wanted to well I didn't
00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:48.949
want to show him how easy it was because
00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:51.269
it it it never was easy and it still
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:53.990
isn't easy. I I made it uh more
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.173
efficient is the best way to put it.
00:12:56.183 --> 00:12:56.710
[gasps]
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:58.629
But I I wanted to show him that you can
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:00.949
jump in front of a camera and and find
00:13:00.959 --> 00:13:03.750
your style. Uh and then of course he
00:13:03.760 --> 00:13:05.670
moved on to
00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:07.750
bigger and better things anyways. But I
00:13:07.760 --> 00:13:11.030
I started to reach out and and connect
00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:13.990
with uh those watching tonight and and
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.910
those that have been following the
00:13:15.920 --> 00:13:18.310
channel for quite some time. And that
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.870
became very enjoyable and important to
00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:23.509
me because that connection with really
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.310
good people. Nothing can beat that. Even
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:29.030
the detailing itself uh can't beat that.
00:13:29.040 --> 00:13:31.670
So I continued to do it and and grew the
00:13:31.680 --> 00:13:34.710
channel and now we have a good family. I
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:38.470
honestly this is this is like
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:41.190
Phoenix gave me the platform
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.190
and the people that I have made um I
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:47.829
mean these I everybody in the chat rooms
00:13:47.839 --> 00:13:49.350
um
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:52.550
they're they're I jokingly call them the
00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:54.230
Phoenix family because they are family
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.790
to me. I love these people and um
00:13:56.800 --> 00:13:58.790
getting to meet them at trade shows and
00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:02.710
coming out to the warehouse and um you
00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:04.470
just doing all of these things. Uh I
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.310
know Thor's going to have a big uh
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:07.990
birthday party in September and I'm
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.189
going out there and I'm going to be able
00:14:09.199 --> 00:14:10.949
to hang out with Fred from Glovebox and
00:14:10.959 --> 00:14:13.030
a bunch of other people that I don't get
00:14:13.040 --> 00:14:17.269
to see all the time. And um the question
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.590
was asked to me a lot if I was going to
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:21.269
do SEMA this year. And I don't think
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:24.710
that I'm going to do SEMA,
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.269
but I'm going to go out to Las Vegas
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:30.310
during SEMA because I don't need to be
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.189
on the floor. I think that's a big D
00:14:33.199 --> 00:14:36.150
swing moment. And um I don't need to be
00:14:36.160 --> 00:14:38.710
on the floor. Um but I do want to meet
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.590
with PE like I know detail Doug. Um he's
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.670
supposed to be out there for the show. I
00:14:43.680 --> 00:14:45.509
think my my buddy from Australia might
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.870
be coming into the show. Um, and and so,
00:14:48.880 --> 00:14:52.470
you know, I have a much better
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:57.269
time with with the people than I do
00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.189
being on the show floor. You know what I
00:14:59.199 --> 00:15:00.870
mean? Because it's so hectic. It's so
00:15:00.880 --> 00:15:03.110
crazy. It's so chaotic.
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.269
>> Yeah. I mean, I was brutally honest with
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.750
you what I thought about SEMA and when
00:15:07.760 --> 00:15:10.150
why I never went personally for any of
00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:11.829
my ventures.
00:15:11.839 --> 00:15:15.269
Um, I mean, just quite honestly, it
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.710
doesn't do a whole lot for your your
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:20.949
business. It it helps to get your name
00:15:20.959 --> 00:15:22.389
out there if you're just starting out,
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.910
but it it's really a huge grab festival.
00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:30.310
Uh, great to great way to network, but,
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:31.509
you know, when it comes to your
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:34.949
business, not a whole lot uh is is
00:15:34.959 --> 00:15:36.710
gained.
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.750
um a lot of great people to meet and and
00:15:39.760 --> 00:15:42.629
again socialize and and start to network
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.750
your business but um was never worth it
00:15:45.760 --> 00:15:46.710
to me.
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.310
>> What about NTE? You want to go to NT
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.110
meet uh mte with me next year?
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:56.790
>> That is uh definitely a more viable uh
00:15:56.800 --> 00:15:57.990
event and
00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:58.949
>> it's so much better. [clears throat]
00:15:58.959 --> 00:16:02.150
It's so much better. I It's not It's not
00:16:02.160 --> 00:16:03.509
rushed. It's not
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:04.949
>> What was the name of the event that we
00:16:04.959 --> 00:16:07.670
went to? Um it was
00:16:07.680 --> 00:16:09.749
>> Southern Southern Detailers Conference.
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:10.790
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:16:10.800 --> 00:16:13.749
>> Yeah. So um apparently the the guy that
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.230
originally set up uh the Southern
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.069
Detailers Conference, he died of a heart
00:16:18.079 --> 00:16:19.269
attack. And
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:21.030
>> wasn't that just a year before we went
00:16:21.040 --> 00:16:23.189
or just a couple months maybe?
00:16:23.199 --> 00:16:25.829
>> Yeah. And so the company that bought S
00:16:25.839 --> 00:16:29.990
uh DC also was uh in charge of the MTE.
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.470
And so
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.230
they did the sub detailers conference
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:36.629
and they didn't do anything with it. Uh
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:38.710
and they I for me personally I think
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.629
they completely
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.389
>> they dropped the ball on build
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.350
>> they did a massive disservice to to us.
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.150
>> Um and then they made an announcement
00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:49.990
last year that they were merging the two
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.629
together and that only NTE was going to
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:55.269
exist from now on. Um and so I've been
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.350
going to NTE for the last two years and
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.150
I love it. I love it. I got to have
00:17:00.160 --> 00:17:02.310
dinner with all kinds of people and my
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:03.910
friends and stuff that I've made
00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:06.150
throughout the, you know, the community
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:06.710
and
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:09.189
>> yeah, meeting the the community. Some of
00:17:09.199 --> 00:17:12.390
the the best memories, um, being out in
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:16.230
Chicago for Turtle Wax, uh, Arizona, a
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:18.069
couple other places and meeting some of
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:19.669
the people and getting to shake their
00:17:19.679 --> 00:17:22.789
hand and, uh, after seeing them down in
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:24.789
the comment section for so long, having
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:26.630
them, you know, in front of me, nothing
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:28.549
beats that. That was that was great. I I
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:30.549
I know I shouldn't I'm not I don't mean
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.830
to I don't mean I don't mean to value
00:17:33.840 --> 00:17:38.230
one person over another, but um getting
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.590
to meet Mary Hoffman was such a treat
00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:45.669
for me. Um she just she's such a a
00:17:45.679 --> 00:17:47.590
wonderful human being and the fact that
00:17:47.600 --> 00:17:49.830
she came down there and and we were able
00:17:49.840 --> 00:17:52.310
I was able to give her a hug, it was
00:17:52.320 --> 00:17:53.830
fantastic. It was you know what I mean?
00:17:53.840 --> 00:17:55.350
It's just like hey I've known you and
00:17:55.360 --> 00:17:57.350
I've seen you but now I really see you
00:17:57.360 --> 00:17:59.590
know what I mean? So, um, that was
00:17:59.600 --> 00:18:02.470
pretty cool. Um,
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:05.110
we have a question. Sir Nate Brad would
00:18:05.120 --> 00:18:07.190
like to know, "Any advice for a first
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:09.430
car for my son?" We're skipping ahead.
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:11.430
We should be saving this for the auction
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.470
car reconditioning phase of this show,
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.150
but we'll jump in here because I don't
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:18.310
want Nate to feel unseen.
00:18:18.320 --> 00:18:20.950
>> Oh, hey, no problem whatsoever. We can
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.870
we could mix it all up. Uh so definitely
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:29.909
a uh a Honda or a Toyota. Toyota being
00:18:29.919 --> 00:18:34.710
at the top of my list when it comes to
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.230
the shop manager
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.190
pitching in. But uh definitely
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:42.950
not we're not talking about brand new.
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:46.070
I'm talking about mid 2000s early 2000s.
00:18:46.080 --> 00:18:48.230
That's going to be the the best Toyota
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.110
Honda vehicles out there. uh they're
00:18:51.120 --> 00:18:52.710
actually having their problems right now
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.990
with the newer cars, but yeah, uh mid to
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.150
early 2000s, Toyota, Honda,
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.669
um any of the spin-offs or the luxury
00:19:03.679 --> 00:19:07.669
brands from them like Acura, um when it
00:19:07.679 --> 00:19:10.390
comes to Nissan, that's hit or miss. And
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:11.750
and they have
00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:14.150
>> I gonna interrupt you. I'm gonna say
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:16.230
miss on Nissan. All right. They bangered
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.630
me. They pissed me off and it makes me
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:21.430
it makes I love the Nissan. My
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:23.830
Pathfinder was absolutely fantastic and
00:19:23.840 --> 00:19:26.390
uh and I had always wanted a Titan uh so
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.310
I could say you know Titan uh Titan is
00:19:30.320 --> 00:19:32.549
the truck that Tit Titan bought you know
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:34.950
I mean that's my flagship product. Um,
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:36.950
but then when I learned about the
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:40.230
transmission and how it is designed
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:44.070
>> to fail and designed to like if you want
00:19:44.080 --> 00:19:46.150
to replace it, you have to buy it brand
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:49.510
new kit from the factory. So, you can't
00:19:49.520 --> 00:19:50.950
just go, you know, down to the
00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:53.430
>> Well, nobody rebuilds the CVT like
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:55.750
depending on what it is. Like your your
00:19:55.760 --> 00:19:58.549
Titan would have had a different type of
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:00.870
transmission. It's
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.990
the the the motor and M, but the um the
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.310
CVTs, nobody rebuilds them. There is
00:20:06.320 --> 00:20:07.990
maybe one or two or three on the West
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:09.830
Coast now that kind of rebuild them, but
00:20:09.840 --> 00:20:12.310
it would be a factory rebuilt that you
00:20:12.320 --> 00:20:16.470
would have to to to order. And uh they
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:18.310
are such a huge gamble. The motors,
00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:20.789
Nissan Motors, like look at an old
00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:24.710
Ultima or a Maxima from the early 2000s.
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:26.230
If it wouldn't be for the body falling
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:28.390
apart or the transmission, those motors
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.710
would keep going and they they get
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.110
abused and they're not maintained. They
00:20:33.120 --> 00:20:34.549
don't get the oil changed. They just
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.029
keep on going. It's such a shame.
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:39.430
>> So, it is hit or miss. Uh I've always
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:41.430
had good luck with good luck with the
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:45.750
Infinities, especially the um QX56 or 80
00:20:45.760 --> 00:20:49.350
or the station wagon. Um, but if you're
00:20:49.360 --> 00:20:51.909
going to get one that CBT trans, change
00:20:51.919 --> 00:20:55.909
the fluid and um the uh the filter if
00:20:55.919 --> 00:20:57.190
you can get to it every
00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:59.990
>> Yeah. I mean, I got 233,000 miles out of
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:02.470
my Pathfinder. And uh Papa Papa Smurf
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:02.710
was
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:04.070
>> more can you ask for it?
00:21:04.080 --> 00:21:05.830
>> Yeah. Well, that's what Papa Papa Smurf
00:21:05.840 --> 00:21:07.430
was just like, "Dude, I don't think I've
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.630
ever seen one over 170,000 miles." I was
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.390
like, "Well, you take care of it." But I
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:16.230
just don't I just don't I I just find it
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:17.990
to be kind of shady business practice if
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.470
if you're if you're making a a
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:22.549
replacement part that only
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:24.630
>> you can only get from the factory and it
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:26.789
it bothers me. So, I'm going to say no.
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:27.669
Nope.
00:21:27.679 --> 00:21:31.270
>> Yeah. So, Toyota, um Corolla, uh if they
00:21:31.280 --> 00:21:34.070
want an SUV, the RAV 4 if they want
00:21:34.080 --> 00:21:37.110
something for the family. Uh I've had a
00:21:37.120 --> 00:21:40.310
Toyota Sienna with 543,000
00:21:40.320 --> 00:21:42.149
miles on it.
00:21:42.159 --> 00:21:44.870
Now, if you think about it, I had no I
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:46.630
didn't even hesitate picking this up. I
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:49.830
got it for 750 bucks, but something with
00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:51.990
that type of mileage only got that way
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:55.270
from being loved and well-maintained.
00:21:55.280 --> 00:21:57.909
And anything that came up, they replaced
00:21:57.919 --> 00:21:59.510
the part new. That's the only way you
00:21:59.520 --> 00:22:01.029
can survive. That's the only way a car
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:02.950
is going to get that type of mileage.
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.149
And a car with 168,000 would would scare
00:22:06.159 --> 00:22:09.430
me more than a car with 548,000.
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:11.750
A Toyota can do that easily with just
00:22:11.760 --> 00:22:12.950
regular maintenance.
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:15.270
>> Maintenance. Yeah. I I had the car
00:22:15.280 --> 00:22:18.950
before I had that was my uh my uh Dodge
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:22.870
Dakota. And I love that truck. I mean, I
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:24.870
love that truck. I pretty positive my
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:29.430
son was born into that truck. And uh um
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.510
266,000
00:22:31.520 --> 00:22:34.149
miles. And I rode it I drove it until it
00:22:34.159 --> 00:22:35.990
literally the wheels fell off. like the
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:39.590
the mounting brackets rotted out and my
00:22:39.600 --> 00:22:41.350
mechanic was like, "Well, I mean, you
00:22:41.360 --> 00:22:43.350
could probably get this thing over to a
00:22:43.360 --> 00:22:45.430
body shop and they could, you know, you
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:47.270
could sink another couple grand into,
00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:51.350
you know, rebuilding the frame, but
00:22:51.360 --> 00:22:53.830
>> it's a it's a shame because eventually
00:22:53.840 --> 00:22:56.230
everything around the motor falls apart.
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:58.630
It starts to nickel and dime you, but
00:22:58.640 --> 00:22:59.909
>> Yeah, exactly.
00:22:59.919 --> 00:23:05.990
>> could keep on going. Really?
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:09.830
Yep.
00:23:09.840 --> 00:23:12.230
Lots of distractions tonight. Sorry.
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:18.070
Sorry. Got a lot going on.
00:23:18.080 --> 00:23:21.350
You are again going back to the Oh, see
00:23:21.360 --> 00:23:22.630
we got lots of questions, but I want to
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:24.789
keep going back to them. Um,
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:27.350
>> keep Hey, if keep them going. I I love
00:23:27.360 --> 00:23:27.990
the questions.
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:29.669
>> All right. Since we've we've kind of
00:23:29.679 --> 00:23:32.470
segueed into the auction car
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:34.310
reconditioning, I'll keep it here, but
00:23:34.320 --> 00:23:35.830
there's a couple of other questions that
00:23:35.840 --> 00:23:38.390
are more about your detailing stuff, but
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.549
here uh question, Brian, can a Chevy
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:44.390
Malibu make it to 2,000k miles?
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.909
>> Yes, it can. And uh I know that because
00:23:47.919 --> 00:23:49.990
all right so if you've been following
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:53.430
the channel for a long period of time
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:57.190
uh I had the uh Lamborghini on there the
00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:59.350
orange one. Um
00:23:59.360 --> 00:24:02.149
>> and I had to get down there to pick it
00:24:02.159 --> 00:24:03.909
up cuz I picked it up from North
00:24:03.919 --> 00:24:07.110
Carolina, Charlotte.
00:24:07.120 --> 00:24:09.190
>> And they offered to ship that thing up
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:11.190
to me and I said no. I want the
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.750
experience and the the memory of driving
00:24:13.760 --> 00:24:15.110
at home with top down. It was going to
00:24:15.120 --> 00:24:16.789
be a beautiful day. It was an eight 8
00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:18.630
hour drive,
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.590
but is there I said, "Do you take
00:24:21.600 --> 00:24:23.510
anything as a trade in?" And it happened
00:24:23.520 --> 00:24:27.029
that I had an an older blue Malibu and
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:29.830
uh it had close to 200,000 miles on it.
00:24:29.840 --> 00:24:31.350
Timing chain was about to go. It was
00:24:31.360 --> 00:24:33.350
leaking oil, but it just kept going and
00:24:33.360 --> 00:24:35.350
going and going. I actually even gave up
00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:37.830
on maintenance. It was just it was a
00:24:37.840 --> 00:24:40.549
nightmare, but it just it kept going.
00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:42.230
And I could imagine how long it could
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:44.470
have survived if I only maintain it,
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:45.990
took care of it. [snorts] But they said,
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:47.990
"Yeah, whatever you bring down, we'll
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:49.590
we'll we'll take the title. We'll give
00:24:49.600 --> 00:24:52.230
you at least 500 bucks for it. If if you
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.750
can tow it and we'll give you
00:24:53.760 --> 00:24:56.630
something." Well, 3/4 of the way down
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:59.029
there, uh the check engine light came
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:03.190
on. uh oil light dash lights lit up like
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:05.510
a Christmas tree, but it kept going and
00:25:05.520 --> 00:25:07.590
going. I would stop, put oil in it. It
00:25:07.600 --> 00:25:09.029
would leak out faster than I could put
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:11.750
it in. It I made it all the way down
00:25:11.760 --> 00:25:13.909
there. This car survived and got me
00:25:13.919 --> 00:25:17.990
there. Um just a just just a total
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.110
survivor. Uh when I parked it and shut
00:25:21.120 --> 00:25:22.950
it off, I could tell you it never
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:25.750
started again. Signed over the title,
00:25:25.760 --> 00:25:28.070
salvage company came, towed it away. But
00:25:28.080 --> 00:25:30.950
uh yeah, you can really put a lot of
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.310
miles and and a lot of um
00:25:34.320 --> 00:25:36.390
uh
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:38.470
you know, wear and tear on them. Just
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:39.990
maintain it.
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.310
>> Yeah.
00:25:40.320 --> 00:25:42.950
>> If you pick one up, m check all of the
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:47.909
fluids. Uh now, if it one tip on that
00:25:47.919 --> 00:25:49.269
with that many miles, if the
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:51.269
transmission fluid has not been changed
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:53.269
and and you smell it and it's it's it's
00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:56.390
dark red and burnt, just leave it as is.
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:58.549
Don't change it. Don't Don't change and
00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:01.590
filter out those particullet. Um th
00:26:01.600 --> 00:26:03.590
those those clutches are gone. But if
00:26:03.600 --> 00:26:04.950
it's nice and pink and somebody's been
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:07.190
doing it, keep doing it every 30 40,000
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:09.750
miles. Change the oil filter, flush the
00:26:09.760 --> 00:26:10.710
antifreeze.
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:12.549
>> And you're talking about like if you're
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:15.750
going to inspect this used vehicle for
00:26:15.760 --> 00:26:17.430
purchase. You want to check those things
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:18.630
first. Correct.
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:20.950
>> Yep.
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:22.390
>> Listen to Brian stories all night. I
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:24.149
know. I do. I go out there and we hang
00:26:24.159 --> 00:26:26.630
out. My dude, my best times is when you
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:28.390
and I get to go and hang out and we have
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:31.909
lunch over there at at Roses
00:26:31.919 --> 00:26:34.710
um and uh we just get to hang out and
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:36.950
tell stories. We have so much fun on No
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:37.590
Direction.
00:26:37.600 --> 00:26:39.590
>> Well, to to to finish the story about
00:26:39.600 --> 00:26:42.390
bringing that uh that um Gallardo back
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:44.950
from from Carolina, I thought it was
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:46.870
going to be a great idea to to to drive
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:49.110
that back the 8 hours and experience it.
00:26:49.120 --> 00:26:51.750
And uh while the first 30 to 45 minutes
00:26:51.760 --> 00:26:54.630
were a great experience, after 45
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:57.110
minutes with those seats being as hard
00:26:57.120 --> 00:26:59.190
as cardboard and everything stiff and
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:01.190
it's, you know, built to just be a race
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:05.430
car, it's like driving um a go-kart.
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:07.350
Uh I was reaching in my overnight bag
00:27:07.360 --> 00:27:09.830
for every sweatshirt, everything I could
00:27:09.840 --> 00:27:11.830
find to put behind my back because I was
00:27:11.840 --> 00:27:15.510
I was in great pain already. Um, after
00:27:15.520 --> 00:27:17.190
the fifth hour, then it just went
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.990
completely numb from from uh the nerves
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:21.909
rubbing together and I had a great time
00:27:21.919 --> 00:27:23.830
coming back. But I would look down
00:27:23.840 --> 00:27:26.549
often, find myself rushing at, you know,
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:31.350
1, 105, 110 on on 80 coming up through.
00:27:31.360 --> 00:27:32.950
But, uh, yeah, definitely one of the
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:34.630
better experiences. I had a beautiful
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:38.549
day all the way back. Um, uh, just yeah,
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:42.630
some some fun times.
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:45.190
Detailing with AK with AK, welcome to
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.990
the show, man. Appreciate or
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:49.830
that's cool. Whoever you are, thank you
00:27:49.840 --> 00:27:53.110
for showing up. Um, all right. Uh, let's
00:27:53.120 --> 00:27:55.110
see here. Let's do another starred
00:27:55.120 --> 00:27:58.389
question.
00:27:58.399 --> 00:27:59.990
Nope. That starred question is for
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:03.269
later. All right. So, being one of the
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:08.549
original horsemen, you sir, I I I could
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:11.830
be wrong, but I'm pretty positive
00:28:11.840 --> 00:28:13.839
you and I got together in 2015.
00:28:13.849 --> 00:28:16.070
[clears throat]
00:28:16.080 --> 00:28:17.510
I think that's when I think that's when
00:28:17.520 --> 00:28:21.350
we first met. And um you were a rock
00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:24.389
star from the very very beginning. And
00:28:24.399 --> 00:28:27.430
um I was working for the old company.
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:29.590
No, I was going to say it was our first
00:28:29.600 --> 00:28:32.710
visit in the Warersville or Robinia
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:33.990
location.
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:35.510
>> It was so that was the thing. You had
00:28:35.520 --> 00:28:37.510
just moved to Warersville because the
00:28:37.520 --> 00:28:40.070
address that you still had listed was in
00:28:40.080 --> 00:28:42.070
uh Robinsonia. And so I went there
00:28:42.080 --> 00:28:43.909
first. And they were like, "Oh, no. He
00:28:43.919 --> 00:28:46.549
moved down to the next town. So just get
00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:50.549
back on on Penav and head on down and
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:52.230
you'll you'll see his shop." And and so
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:54.070
they you know the mechanics that were in
00:28:54.080 --> 00:28:55.669
there told [clears throat] me how to
00:28:55.679 --> 00:28:59.269
find you. So, you had just moved.
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:02.789
>> I would say closer to 2017, some
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:04.870
somewhere in that area, but you're
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:05.750
you're close.
00:29:05.760 --> 00:29:08.070
>> All right, that's fair. I kind of a blur
00:29:08.080 --> 00:29:09.830
that the old the old place was kind of a
00:29:09.840 --> 00:29:12.230
blur, but that makes sense. And I was
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:15.750
going up against uh one of the Ardex uh
00:29:15.760 --> 00:29:18.310
products in a lot of the uh in a lot of
00:29:18.320 --> 00:29:20.389
the dealerships that I was going into
00:29:20.399 --> 00:29:22.789
and they, you know, I kept losing over
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:24.710
and over and over again to one of their
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:27.430
one of their uh I think it was one of
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:29.590
their compounds and then so I was doing
00:29:29.600 --> 00:29:32.950
research on what exactly is this
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:37.350
compound and you had done a video on it
00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:37.909
and so I watch
00:29:37.919 --> 00:29:39.750
>> is that the you know I can't even
00:29:39.760 --> 00:29:41.430
remember the name of of it anymore, but
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:43.190
I think it was a rust color.
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:44.789
>> It was a blue bottle.
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:45.590
>> Oh, blue.
00:29:45.600 --> 00:29:47.110
>> It was like I think it was their 1500
00:29:47.120 --> 00:29:48.710
cut, whatever that what it was called. I
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:50.389
I forget what the name of it. I don't
00:29:50.399 --> 00:29:51.990
know. But it was like a 1500 cut
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:55.350
compound. And And so I was watching the
00:29:55.360 --> 00:29:57.190
video and then I wanted to and I was I
00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:59.990
thought to myself and I'll be I'll be
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.909
honest,
00:30:01.919 --> 00:30:03.669
I didn't know anything about YouTube
00:30:03.679 --> 00:30:05.269
influencers. I didn't know anything
00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:07.990
about like people's channels and things
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:09.669
of that nature. I was literally just
00:30:09.679 --> 00:30:12.950
doing research on a comp uh competitor's
00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:16.549
product and um
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:19.510
that's right, Guardian. I'll drink to
00:30:19.520 --> 00:30:21.990
that.
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:23.830
Yeah. I don't know if if anybody
00:30:23.840 --> 00:30:27.190
watching is is from the inter, you know,
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:30.070
the area, but at that time I had three
00:30:30.080 --> 00:30:31.750
that were stopping by. One was called
00:30:31.760 --> 00:30:33.590
Hershits.
00:30:33.600 --> 00:30:35.750
Did you ever hear of them? Did you ever?
00:30:35.760 --> 00:30:38.549
So they were out of closer to Allentown,
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:41.269
Henchitz or Hennitz and then Ardex and
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:43.990
then yeah extreme. Those were the three
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:46.070
in my area at that time that were
00:30:46.080 --> 00:30:46.870
swinging by.
00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:50.389
>> Thanks. Thanks.
00:30:50.399 --> 00:30:54.230
>> Um yeah. So uh and then and so then I
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:57.190
was just like how does someone get a
00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:59.350
product review
00:30:59.360 --> 00:31:01.430
done? And then I looked on your about
00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:03.269
page and I saw that I'm like you're in
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:05.990
my territory. Like we like the the
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:07.510
company that I worked for, we had stuff
00:31:07.520 --> 00:31:11.350
as as far out as
00:31:11.360 --> 00:31:13.990
it's past Gettysburg. I think
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:15.669
McDonald'sville
00:31:15.679 --> 00:31:18.470
is I but it was it was out there. We
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:19.830
were all the way out there and I think
00:31:19.840 --> 00:31:24.070
>> Yeah. I mean I remember you saying um I
00:31:24.080 --> 00:31:25.990
I was on the way to going
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:26.310
>> Yeah.
00:31:26.320 --> 00:31:27.990
>> out west somewhere. Sure.
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.789
>> Yeah. For sure. And so I came to visit
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:33.590
you and [clears throat] I asked you um I
00:31:33.600 --> 00:31:35.269
told you about you know who we were and
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:36.630
what we were doing and so on and so
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:39.430
forth. And then uh I was I said is it
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:42.310
possible to to maybe put some product in
00:31:42.320 --> 00:31:43.830
your hand and see if you would review
00:31:43.840 --> 00:31:46.070
that stuff and and I don't know if you
00:31:46.080 --> 00:31:52.070
remember what you told me.
00:31:52.080 --> 00:31:55.190
>> Um was it about the product or was it
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:58.310
about you starting your own company? We
00:31:58.320 --> 00:31:59.430
didn't we didn't have that kind of
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:00.789
friendship right out of the gate. No.
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:02.549
So, it was about the product.
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:04.789
>> It was about the product.
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:05.750
>> Yeah.
00:32:05.760 --> 00:32:08.230
>> That that level of friendship came uh a
00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:10.950
few years later or I mean we were pretty
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:13.990
fast friends, but
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:15.350
>> No, it had to have been earlier than
00:32:15.360 --> 00:32:17.590
that because I remember
00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:20.070
>> What was the product?
00:32:20.080 --> 00:32:21.509
>> I don't care. I don't remember what the
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:23.509
product was. What you said to me was,
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:26.870
"If I do this, are you going to be
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:29.590
available to my customers?" Because I
00:32:29.600 --> 00:32:32.710
only am going to deal with a company
00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:36.070
that will be available for questions and
00:32:36.080 --> 00:32:39.750
things of that for my community.
00:32:39.760 --> 00:32:40.070
>> Yeah,
00:32:40.080 --> 00:32:42.549
>> that's what you said.
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:44.950
>> I 100% will pledge that I will be there
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:48.230
for your community. And and that told me
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:51.110
right out of the gate what type of a
00:32:51.120 --> 00:32:53.350
person you were and that it wasn't like
00:32:53.360 --> 00:32:55.190
all for show and it wasn't for some sort
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:57.190
of weird monetization and you weren't
00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:59.190
just clickbait
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:04.950
clickbait. You were who you are and it I
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.110
was thoroughly and that's why we became
00:33:07.120 --> 00:33:08.710
friends as quickly as we did is because
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:10.950
the caliber of a man that you are is
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:13.830
amazing and and your onscreen persona is
00:33:13.840 --> 00:33:16.630
exactly it's not fake. It's not a show.
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:20.149
You are who you are, man. It's awesome.
00:33:20.159 --> 00:33:22.230
>> Yeah. And you were there for every one
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:25.269
of my customers and and uh any every one
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:27.750
of the the viewers that [snorts] had
00:33:27.760 --> 00:33:29.590
questions or concerns, you were there.
00:33:29.600 --> 00:33:34.470
So, that meant a lot.
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:37.029
>> We got some good stuff going on. Um
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:39.830
Brian, you are you you are a a tea
00:33:39.840 --> 00:33:41.269
toddler when it comes to the heavy
00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:43.269
spirits, correct? But you do you do
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.029
embibe every once in a while. I know. I
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:48.470
sent you a bottle of bullet for my first
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:50.149
first Christmas at Christmas.
00:33:50.159 --> 00:33:54.070
>> Yeah, the the heavy stuff. Um, not quite
00:33:54.080 --> 00:33:58.389
my cup of tea. Uh, I I enjoy the uh not
00:33:58.399 --> 00:34:00.389
the IPAs, but I I like the beer. The
00:34:00.399 --> 00:34:04.149
Jingling Logger to me has a great taste.
00:34:04.159 --> 00:34:07.590
>> Yeah. Just I enjoy. And I'm happy to
00:34:07.600 --> 00:34:09.190
report to the people that are watching
00:34:09.200 --> 00:34:11.669
the show that uh you found the lost
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:15.270
footage of No Direction Bal, which I'm
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:16.950
excited about because we were drinking
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:18.710
some pretty
00:34:18.720 --> 00:34:20.550
nasty beer on that episode.
00:34:20.560 --> 00:34:21.829
>> Yeah. And that wasn't even the worst of
00:34:21.839 --> 00:34:23.829
it apparently. So, we can do another one
00:34:23.839 --> 00:34:26.310
to follow up and and really fall go down
00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:27.190
the rabbit hole.
00:34:27.200 --> 00:34:29.669
>> I love that. I love that because these
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:32.710
were I think that the beers were all
00:34:32.720 --> 00:34:34.790
domestic popular domestic stuff, but you
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:36.790
can get into some real micro brewery
00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:39.750
stuff that is just gross.
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:42.230
>> Oh, yeah. Just [laughter] just draws
00:34:42.240 --> 00:34:44.310
your mouth shut. Uh one I could think of
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.510
the the Hershey um Tro I forget what it
00:34:47.520 --> 00:34:49.270
is what it's called, but it just draws
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:50.550
your mouth shut.
00:34:50.560 --> 00:34:50.950
>> Yeah.
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:53.669
>> Trove something I think it's called.
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:57.670
>> All right. So, uh, Chelsea Bailey, uh,
00:34:57.680 --> 00:34:59.750
asked this question. Will Fab still be
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.790
one of the four horsemen? Uh, that's a
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:05.750
great question, and I can only answer
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:09.829
for me. I can't answer for Fab. Um,
00:35:09.839 --> 00:35:12.870
Fab will always be a horseman. These
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.470
these four guys believed in me and
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:20.310
helped me from the beginning. And so,
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:23.030
um, whatever his future is, um, I know
00:35:23.040 --> 00:35:25.030
that he's he's pretty much done with the
00:35:25.040 --> 00:35:27.829
whole, uh, selling products and and
00:35:27.839 --> 00:35:30.150
really detailing. And I know that he's,
00:35:30.160 --> 00:35:33.670
you know, he and his wife are full blown
00:35:33.680 --> 00:35:37.750
into, uh, his own mechanic shop now. Um,
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:41.190
which is fantastic. And, and I wish them
00:35:41.200 --> 00:35:42.790
more success than they've ever
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:46.550
experienced in their life. Um, as far
00:35:46.560 --> 00:35:49.750
like being a horseman isn't because you
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:52.790
were a detailer uh or are a detailer or
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:54.950
you push my products or things of that
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:58.790
nature. Being a horseman was somebody in
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:01.430
the detailing community that believed in
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:04.470
me enough to help me get started with
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:06.310
this company.
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:09.190
So yeah, Fab will always be a horseman.
00:36:09.200 --> 00:36:13.349
Um, Brian, he borderline retirement will
00:36:13.359 --> 00:36:16.630
always be a horseman. Um, Papa Smurf
00:36:16.640 --> 00:36:19.430
will always be a horseman. And and
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:21.270
Miranda will always be a horseman. I
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:22.630
know that he's not doing a whole lot of
00:36:22.640 --> 00:36:24.470
YouTube stuff anymore either. He's
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:27.190
focusing on his his local business. That
00:36:27.200 --> 00:36:28.950
doesn't mean like I'm you're not a
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:32.230
horseman for what you can do
00:36:32.240 --> 00:36:35.670
for me today. It was you guys believing
00:36:35.680 --> 00:36:39.349
in me in the beginning and that I guess
00:36:39.359 --> 00:36:43.270
is a good segue into you encouraging me.
00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:48.630
I think so if we met in 2017 by it by
00:36:48.640 --> 00:36:51.589
easily by 2018 you were saying hey when
00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:53.829
are you going to do this for yourself
00:36:53.839 --> 00:36:56.470
and then by 2019 you were leaning into
00:36:56.480 --> 00:36:59.109
me pretty heavy about hey when are you
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:00.950
going to do this for yourself? you can
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:04.710
do this so much better. And and it
00:37:04.720 --> 00:37:06.630
wasn't until
00:37:06.640 --> 00:37:12.950
it wasn't until co
00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:15.030
it was right before CO happened because
00:37:15.040 --> 00:37:17.349
we had a big the we had a big meeting.
00:37:17.359 --> 00:37:19.910
There was the four the four head
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:22.470
offices. It was the uh it was me. I was
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:25.670
the number two guy, the director of
00:37:25.680 --> 00:37:28.390
sales or excuse me, the sales manager,
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:30.870
the warehouse manager, and the ops
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:33.990
manager. You know, did you watch Banner
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:36.230
Brothers?
00:37:36.240 --> 00:37:38.470
So, there's that scene where the the the
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:40.230
NCOs's all get together and they're
00:37:40.240 --> 00:37:42.870
like, "We are not going into battle
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:44.710
under this captain. He's going to get us
00:37:44.720 --> 00:37:47.670
all killed and so we are going to resign
00:37:47.680 --> 00:37:51.829
our NCO status." And uh and they did
00:37:51.839 --> 00:37:53.430
that and then all of a sudden it was
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:56.630
like they committed treason and the the
00:37:56.640 --> 00:37:58.550
general was just like I I ought to have
00:37:58.560 --> 00:38:00.630
y'all shot and hung but we have a war to
00:38:00.640 --> 00:38:04.150
fight. So anyway, there was the four of
00:38:04.160 --> 00:38:06.630
us had gone to the owner and was just
00:38:06.640 --> 00:38:10.230
like hey we have a list of grievances
00:38:10.240 --> 00:38:13.030
and unless those grievances
00:38:13.040 --> 00:38:15.589
aren't met
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:17.589
we're all we're done. All four of us are
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:20.069
walking out here and then COVID struck
00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:21.990
and we got furlifted. So we all got sent
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:24.870
off into our homes and then we got back
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:31.829
after CO was lifted and um
00:38:31.839 --> 00:38:33.829
that's when and nothing had changed. We
00:38:33.839 --> 00:38:36.230
got back six months of being furled,
00:38:36.240 --> 00:38:37.910
seven months of being furled, nothing
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.630
had changed. And you know, so sales
00:38:40.640 --> 00:38:43.190
manager was the first one to quit, ops
00:38:43.200 --> 00:38:45.910
manager was the second one to quit,
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:48.230
warehouse manager was the third to quit.
00:38:48.240 --> 00:38:52.230
And then you know, I'm standing there
00:38:52.240 --> 00:38:54.950
and that's when I said to you, "Hey, if
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:58.310
I do this, will you help me?" And your
00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:02.390
response was, "It's about time."
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:05.430
>> Absolutely. I mean I mean it it was
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:06.630
pretty quick where I could see the
00:39:06.640 --> 00:39:08.230
frustration of the guidelines that you
00:39:08.240 --> 00:39:10.950
had to follow and it's like why don't
00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:13.510
you do this for yourself?
00:39:13.520 --> 00:39:15.030
>> You have free range and you you can use
00:39:15.040 --> 00:39:18.310
your you know free to express your
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:21.190
creativity and your products and
00:39:21.200 --> 00:39:25.670
I I I saw that you had it all. So do it.
00:39:25.680 --> 00:39:29.270
>> Yeah.
00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:32.550
So, speaking of just do it, you
00:39:32.560 --> 00:39:35.589
transition out of
00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:37.670
um well, you're doing you're doing uh
00:39:37.680 --> 00:39:39.430
you're you're doing Apex surface
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:42.390
protection. Uh well, you're doing Apex
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:44.630
auto detailing, then you do Apex surface
00:39:44.640 --> 00:39:46.470
protection, and then you do auction car
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:47.990
reconditioning, and now you're
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:51.109
semi-retired. So
00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:53.670
what how does how do how does one trans
00:39:53.680 --> 00:39:55.990
like you started doing chemical like you
00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:58.790
would you were doing chemicals
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:01.750
before I was doing chemicals. You were
00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:03.430
working with I think artshine or
00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:07.030
something like that and and then and
00:40:07.040 --> 00:40:09.109
then I started doing chemicals and then
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:11.990
you really started doing chemicals like
00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:16.470
like what was the process in in in that?
00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:18.710
Well, I wanted to start with protectants
00:40:18.720 --> 00:40:20.710
and I wanted to get on the other side of
00:40:20.720 --> 00:40:22.310
of the curtain when it comes to
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:25.670
chemistry. I've I I I was I never did
00:40:25.680 --> 00:40:27.510
well chemistry in school. I wish I would
00:40:27.520 --> 00:40:29.510
have because it's it's so fascinating
00:40:29.520 --> 00:40:32.630
and I had such a good time with it. Um
00:40:32.640 --> 00:40:35.589
but I I I wanted to see that end of it
00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:38.150
and um and I did. I I saw through I had
00:40:38.160 --> 00:40:43.109
a great time. Um, and it uh it it really
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:45.829
opened my eyes to a lot of good things
00:40:45.839 --> 00:40:50.230
and bad things about the industry. And
00:40:50.240 --> 00:40:53.349
um I I I I enjoyed myself. I I really
00:40:53.359 --> 00:40:56.069
did. And again, I I had connections with
00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:58.870
a lot of people that was life-changing
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:02.309
and I'll never forget and uh was a great
00:41:02.319 --> 00:41:06.390
page of of my life. Um, but there were
00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:08.230
there there are some things that linger
00:41:08.240 --> 00:41:11.190
over the industry that uh that I
00:41:11.200 --> 00:41:14.230
personally can't live with and um you
00:41:14.240 --> 00:41:17.109
know locally I I had a competitor that
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:19.349
um gave me an offer that I couldn't
00:41:19.359 --> 00:41:22.230
refuse. So I I I took that uh I took
00:41:22.240 --> 00:41:25.109
that exit or that offramp and there's so
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:27.670
many other things I want to do yet um
00:41:27.680 --> 00:41:30.390
while I physically can. I try to keep
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:32.630
myself healthy and in good shape and uh
00:41:32.640 --> 00:41:34.390
hopefully I have many years to try
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:36.230
different things and
00:41:36.240 --> 00:41:38.630
>> um I definitely have plans to
00:41:38.640 --> 00:41:40.710
>> Well, I know that you definitely enjoy
00:41:40.720 --> 00:41:42.630
travel. I that's one of the things that
00:41:42.640 --> 00:41:47.430
I admire about you is that um uh that
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:49.430
you you do have that ability to just
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:51.109
kind of like you know what I'm taking
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:54.470
two weeks see you bang gone and uh and
00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:57.750
and I I wish that I could do I wish that
00:41:57.760 --> 00:41:59.030
I could
00:41:59.040 --> 00:42:01.589
>> absolut I mean
00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:03.430
one of these days I would like to get to
00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:05.510
a point where I could just there are so
00:42:05.520 --> 00:42:08.390
many places uh in this country and and
00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:10.230
beyond that I would like to see I would
00:42:10.240 --> 00:42:12.390
like to see Peru, Brazil. I'd like to
00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:15.829
see Egypt and the pyramids. Um, you I
00:42:15.839 --> 00:42:17.589
think you and I have talked just
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:21.510
recently about, you know, older and
00:42:21.520 --> 00:42:23.349
ancient civilizations and what they were
00:42:23.359 --> 00:42:25.589
capable of and that fascinates me.
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:25.910
>> Yeah.
00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:28.069
>> Uh, to to try and figure out where we
00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:31.270
actually came from. Um, but yeah, uh,
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:33.190
that and just
00:42:33.200 --> 00:42:37.030
>> uh Oh, definitely. Um, I'd love to visit
00:42:37.040 --> 00:42:40.150
um Oslo, uh, Burgon.
00:42:40.160 --> 00:42:41.670
um
00:42:41.680 --> 00:42:45.109
uh in Norway and uh skit, you know, jump
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:48.790
across to to Finland and uh maybe even
00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:51.270
Poland. You there's just so many places
00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:54.309
I would like to see uh on this rock we
00:42:54.319 --> 00:42:57.430
live on before before I came before I'm
00:42:57.440 --> 00:42:59.670
just too too too old and and not
00:42:59.680 --> 00:43:03.109
physically able to enjoy it.
00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:04.630
So,
00:43:04.640 --> 00:43:07.910
one thing that I we So, Phoenix has
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.550
exploded in Australia. Um, I think we
00:43:10.560 --> 00:43:12.790
might be one of the most popular codings
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:14.870
in in Australia. Um,
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:18.309
>> Australia is an just an incredible
00:43:18.319 --> 00:43:21.430
culture of of car nuts.
00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:24.069
>> Yeah, they really are. They They are car
00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:25.270
nuts for sure.
00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:27.750
>> I love it. I love it. Great people I've
00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:28.470
met.
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:30.710
>> And so, I have a an an incredible
00:43:30.720 --> 00:43:33.829
distributor. Uh he was on my show. Uh he
00:43:33.839 --> 00:43:36.309
was my last show or no maybe Eddie and
00:43:36.319 --> 00:43:38.390
Oh no Eddie and Jamie were my last show.
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:40.870
So he was two episodes ago. My
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:44.470
distributor from Australia um Ahmed from
00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:48.790
Detail Planet and um he's been trying to
00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:51.910
replicate the MTE in Australia. So he
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:53.750
wants to do like a basically a detailer
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:55.349
summit in Australia which is actually
00:43:55.359 --> 00:43:57.910
how he found out about me. He found out
00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:00.309
about me through his detailer summit. my
00:44:00.319 --> 00:44:03.589
old distributor who got out of the game
00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:05.349
went to the the the summit and was like,
00:44:05.359 --> 00:44:06.390
"Hey, have you ever heard of Phoenix
00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:08.790
COD? There's stuff. Don't sleep on it."
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:10.550
Anyway,
00:44:10.560 --> 00:44:12.550
I want to go to one of his mtees. And
00:44:12.560 --> 00:44:14.150
what I really want to do is I want to
00:44:14.160 --> 00:44:16.230
take my dad with me because my dad has
00:44:16.240 --> 00:44:18.870
been so supportive of the of the move
00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:22.150
out here to northwestern PANROtheastern
00:44:22.160 --> 00:44:25.109
Ohio. Um, just been really he's been
00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:28.309
involved uh in the company. He's he's I
00:44:28.319 --> 00:44:29.990
I've actually made him my CFO because
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:31.990
he's infinitely smarter than I am,
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:34.309
especially when it comes to finances.
00:44:34.319 --> 00:44:38.150
So, he is he is part of the company. Um
00:44:38.160 --> 00:44:39.829
my nephew was part of the company.
00:44:39.839 --> 00:44:42.950
Anyway, sidetracked. I want to go to
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:44.870
Australia for one week. I want to go to
00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:46.870
the I want to go to the detailer summit
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:49.750
in Australia. Then
00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:52.550
I want to puddle jump over to New
00:44:52.560 --> 00:44:54.470
Zealand and take my dad fly fishing for
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:56.230
a week in New Zealand. So that's my
00:44:56.240 --> 00:44:58.710
goal. My goal is either next year or
00:44:58.720 --> 00:45:01.589
2028 I'm taking my dad to Australia to
00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:05.510
go to the mte Australia and then do fly
00:45:05.520 --> 00:45:07.990
fishing in New Zealand. Those are two
00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:10.069
really really big checks off of my
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:11.750
bucket list. The other two would be
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:13.510
Ireland. I have to go and visit the
00:45:13.520 --> 00:45:16.630
motherland. And then I also really
00:45:16.640 --> 00:45:18.710
really want to see Iceland because I
00:45:18.720 --> 00:45:21.829
hear like the most incredible imagery of
00:45:21.839 --> 00:45:24.069
all time exists in Iceland. You can see
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:26.069
volcanoes and you can see ice and you
00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:27.910
can see everything and the northern
00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:30.710
lights. Just that's those are those are
00:45:30.720 --> 00:45:32.470
my big three.
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:36.470
>> Absolutely. Yep. I would add Japan and I
00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:38.390
I mean there's just so many places that
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:38.950
>> Oh, sure.
00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:40.630
>> I'm just saying like he's like, "Hey
00:45:40.640 --> 00:45:42.390
man, you have limited time. These are
00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:44.069
the you know, you got to pick three.
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:45.589
Those are the top three, but is there a
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:47.750
list of 20?" Absolutely.
00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:50.550
>> Yeah.
00:45:50.560 --> 00:45:53.750
Oh, did detail with AK. Man, you got
00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:55.270
some great questions and I hope to get
00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:59.270
to all of them.
00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:05.349
Um
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:11.190
I I personally like Scrapple. I do.
00:46:11.200 --> 00:46:13.510
Nate, um where can I tell you to buy the
00:46:13.520 --> 00:46:15.030
best? First of all, where are you
00:46:15.040 --> 00:46:16.550
located? Because I don't think Scrapple
00:46:16.560 --> 00:46:18.710
exists
00:46:18.720 --> 00:46:19.829
everywhere.
00:46:19.839 --> 00:46:20.710
Um,
00:46:20.720 --> 00:46:23.349
>> that's that's my neck of the woods. Um,
00:46:23.359 --> 00:46:24.870
>> yeah, for sure. I didn't I mean, like
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:27.349
I'm from everywhere. My dad was a
00:46:27.359 --> 00:46:29.510
marine. We moved every two years and I
00:46:29.520 --> 00:46:30.790
didn't learn about scrapple until I
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:34.230
moved to New Jersey. So, um, I will tell
00:46:34.240 --> 00:46:37.670
you the the key to a great scrapple is
00:46:37.680 --> 00:46:41.670
thin and crispy. So, you the the big fat
00:46:41.680 --> 00:46:43.910
slices, they get real mushy and it's a
00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:45.910
texture thing and it's kind of gross.
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:48.790
But if you get it cut thin and have them
00:46:48.800 --> 00:46:51.270
fry it up real good. Oh man, that's
00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:53.589
>> And And do you do you just eat it just
00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:56.069
so or do you put molasses or ketchup on
00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:57.190
it?
00:46:57.200 --> 00:46:58.710
>> Whatever. I can eat it just so, but
00:46:58.720 --> 00:47:00.470
ketchup is you if it's in a sandwich, I
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:02.309
put ketchup on it. You know, ketchup,
00:47:02.319 --> 00:47:05.430
egg, and cheese on a scrapple on a brios
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:09.990
bun. Heck yeah, bro. [laughter]
00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:11.190
>> Yep.
00:47:11.200 --> 00:47:13.270
>> Oh, you don't know what's in it. Oh, I
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:14.470
know what's in it and I don't care
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:16.710
because it tastes delicious and that is
00:47:16.720 --> 00:47:19.430
pretty much my mo for everything. I
00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:23.430
don't care as long as it's good.
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:25.190
Never even heard of scrapple. So, yeah.
00:47:25.200 --> 00:47:27.670
So, definitely Oh, yeah. Close to New
00:47:27.680 --> 00:47:28.950
York, Delaware. Yeah. So, he's
00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:30.710
definitely in the heart of scrapple
00:47:30.720 --> 00:47:34.069
country. Um, and Ryan, that would be the
00:47:34.079 --> 00:47:37.132
reason why you're not. I think
00:47:37.142 --> 00:47:38.710
[laughter]
00:47:38.720 --> 00:47:40.069
I I just said
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:41.910
>> it's definitely a staple in a
00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:44.630
Pennsylvania Dutch breakfast for sure.
00:47:44.640 --> 00:47:48.309
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like basically
00:47:48.319 --> 00:47:50.470
think of think of what you know of how a
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:53.030
hot dog is made and it's worse.
00:47:53.040 --> 00:47:57.030
>> Oh bird's beak feet. Chicken's feet.
00:47:57.040 --> 00:47:59.750
Yeah. Anything that they need to fill to
00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:00.630
grind up.
00:48:00.640 --> 00:48:02.550
>> Yeah. Just grind everything that's left
00:48:02.560 --> 00:48:06.150
over. Everything that's left over gets
00:48:06.160 --> 00:48:07.270
to scramble.
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:09.190
>> No way.
00:48:09.200 --> 00:48:11.670
>> It's good. It's good.
00:48:11.680 --> 00:48:13.829
All right.
00:48:13.839 --> 00:48:17.430
I derail so quickly.
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:21.109
All right. I am in need of a new
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:23.190
1 inch 3-in polisher. What do you
00:48:23.200 --> 00:48:26.470
recommend, Brian?
00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:30.069
One inch? Well, uh, for a one inch, the
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:31.670
um
00:48:31.680 --> 00:48:35.910
Adams has a uh 1-inch polisher that is I
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:37.750
I think I've had it for at least six,
00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:39.750
seven years now, and I'll have to break
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:41.349
it back out and show that it still
00:48:41.359 --> 00:48:44.150
works. But for a 3-in to the new uh
00:48:44.160 --> 00:48:48.069
barjack polisher is um cordless,
00:48:48.079 --> 00:48:51.670
brushless, smooth, quiet. Um you can use
00:48:51.680 --> 00:48:54.470
the 3-in for headlight uh restorations,
00:48:54.480 --> 00:48:56.309
bumper, uh squeeze it in.
00:48:56.319 --> 00:48:58.710
>> You were describing a girl anyway. Go
00:48:58.720 --> 00:48:59.349
ahead.
00:48:59.359 --> 00:49:02.950
>> Well, yeah. I mean, yeah. Um
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:06.390
Yeah, absolutely. And you can put uh you
00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:08.230
could put a you could turn it from a 3
00:49:08.240 --> 00:49:10.150
inch to a 4 inch by putting uh you know
00:49:10.160 --> 00:49:12.710
a backing plate um uh it's a hook and
00:49:12.720 --> 00:49:14.309
loop extension and you could put a
00:49:14.319 --> 00:49:18.309
bigger pad on it. But uh absolutely
00:49:18.319 --> 00:49:23.270
great price too. Um under 200 bucks.
00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:25.030
>> Yeah.
00:49:25.040 --> 00:49:28.484
All right.
00:49:28.494 --> 00:49:32.390
[clears throat] Uh let's see here. Okay.
00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:37.030
I got more. Uh, next one. Hide. Check.
00:49:37.040 --> 00:49:38.964
Um,
00:49:38.974 --> 00:49:40.630
[clears throat]
00:49:40.640 --> 00:49:42.790
Brian, I received the immortal ceramic
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:44.390
spray today. Do you have any tips for a
00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:46.150
proper application? Have we done
00:49:46.160 --> 00:49:51.750
immortal on on uh no direction detail?
00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:53.670
>> I don't think we have.
00:49:53.680 --> 00:49:56.069
>> We we we should cover that more. I think
00:49:56.079 --> 00:49:57.589
it was on the list. It was
00:49:57.599 --> 00:49:58.790
>> I think it was on the list. Yeah, cuz I
00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:00.390
mean you can use it as an interior, you
00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:02.470
know, like a a Scotch Guard on crack.
00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:03.910
You can put it I mean you can put
00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:05.990
immortal everywhere. So anyway, what is
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:08.069
your what is your proper Do you like to
00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:11.030
spray it directly into a microfiber or a
00:50:11.040 --> 00:50:12.549
block or do you like to spray it
00:50:12.559 --> 00:50:14.150
directly on the surface?
00:50:14.160 --> 00:50:18.470
>> I like to spray into So uh I normally
00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:21.349
favor the micro suede applicators. Uh,
00:50:21.359 --> 00:50:25.190
but for that I will spray into a uh I
00:50:25.200 --> 00:50:27.829
have these yellow foam pads, real thick
00:50:27.839 --> 00:50:28.710
ones,
00:50:28.720 --> 00:50:29.910
>> and [snorts] I'll spray into that and
00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:31.829
I'll put it on with in circular motions.
00:50:31.839 --> 00:50:33.030
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how
00:50:33.040 --> 00:50:34.150
it goes on. You don't have to do it
00:50:34.160 --> 00:50:37.510
crisscross pattern. Um, just get it on
00:50:37.520 --> 00:50:39.430
there any way you can. The trick with
00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:42.230
that one is to leave it on long enough.
00:50:42.240 --> 00:50:44.309
Don't be too eager to wipe it off. You
00:50:44.319 --> 00:50:47.670
can leave immortal on. Um, I mean, I
00:50:47.680 --> 00:50:49.190
I've I've gotten phone calls. I've
00:50:49.200 --> 00:50:50.710
gotten customers that have come in,
00:50:50.720 --> 00:50:52.309
interrupted me, and I've come back and I
00:50:52.319 --> 00:50:54.630
didn't have it hard time at all wiping
00:50:54.640 --> 00:50:56.549
it off, and it actually seemed to
00:50:56.559 --> 00:50:58.630
perform better the longer I kept it on
00:50:58.640 --> 00:51:00.549
there. And trying to find the sweet spot
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:02.230
in your environment with the heat,
00:51:02.240 --> 00:51:04.309
humidity, temperature to leave it on
00:51:04.319 --> 00:51:07.270
there without it giving you a hard time.
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:09.829
Uh, that's the key.
00:51:09.839 --> 00:51:10.230
>> Okay.
00:51:10.240 --> 00:51:15.109
>> But, but uh uh preparation,
00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:16.470
getting that paint ready for it. You
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:17.430
don't have to give it a paint
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:21.430
correction, but just decon it. Uh, use a
00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:23.430
cleaner polish by hand if you have to.
00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:26.390
That helps to get any of that road film
00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:29.190
or any old leftover protectant like a
00:51:29.200 --> 00:51:31.750
wax or a polymer sealant, you know, so
00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:34.470
you can start from scratch and
00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:36.630
give a mortal a chance to anchor onto
00:51:36.640 --> 00:51:39.030
that paint, that naked paint.
00:51:39.040 --> 00:51:42.710
>> Yeah. [clears throat] Okay. Okay.
00:51:42.720 --> 00:51:45.990
Um, all right. I have to ask answer this
00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:47.990
question. Um
00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:50.790
I think he's doing great. Uh he and I uh
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:52.630
like he's one of those guys that you
00:51:52.640 --> 00:51:54.390
don't hear from for a long time and so
00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:56.309
I'll just call him up and be and I'll be
00:51:56.319 --> 00:51:59.430
like, "Hey man, uh how you doing? How
00:51:59.440 --> 00:52:01.270
you making up?" And uh his answer is
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:03.430
always the same. He's he's he's doing
00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:05.430
really really good. You know, it was a
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:08.470
slow time for detailers. And that was
00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:10.309
universal. I mean, I talked to all of my
00:52:10.319 --> 00:52:11.750
detailing friends and they were all just
00:52:11.760 --> 00:52:12.870
like, "Yeah, it's been a little bit
00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:14.870
slow. You know, the economy is kind of
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:16.549
weird right now. It's been weird." And
00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:19.430
we were expecting we were expecting all
00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:22.710
kinds of amazing changes and then all of
00:52:22.720 --> 00:52:24.950
a sudden we find ourselves in a war uh
00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:28.870
with uh oil. So,
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:32.630
unfortunately, oil dictates everything.
00:52:32.640 --> 00:52:36.309
I mean, you know, you can't just say be
00:52:36.319 --> 00:52:40.549
the when the price of fuel goes up,
00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:42.630
everything goes up because everything is
00:52:42.640 --> 00:52:44.790
run by fuel. You need to have trucks
00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:48.309
that bring whatever to stores and and
00:52:48.319 --> 00:52:51.670
all of that stuff. So, when the p when
00:52:51.680 --> 00:52:53.829
price of of petroleum goes up,
00:52:53.839 --> 00:52:56.230
everything goes up. And unfortunately,
00:52:56.240 --> 00:52:58.069
you can fix everything that you want to
00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:01.510
fix in in in the economy, but if fuel
00:53:01.520 --> 00:53:03.829
goes up, the economy is not getting
00:53:03.839 --> 00:53:08.150
better. So, um, the reason why I I went
00:53:08.160 --> 00:53:10.470
down that that rabbit hole is he was,
00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:12.150
you know, he obviously was concerned
00:53:12.160 --> 00:53:14.230
that that that business was slow. I
00:53:14.240 --> 00:53:18.150
mean, you detailing is a luxury, right?
00:53:18.160 --> 00:53:18.870
Do I want to have
00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:20.710
>> It's a want, it's a not need. I mean,
00:53:20.720 --> 00:53:22.790
>> do I want to wash my car and have it
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:24.390
cleaned up real nice or do I want to put
00:53:24.400 --> 00:53:26.470
food on the table?
00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:31.270
>> So, um,
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:32.790
that was a concern for his. And so, the
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:34.230
last time that I talked to him, he said,
00:53:34.240 --> 00:53:38.150
"I'm going to basically I I hired a new
00:53:38.160 --> 00:53:40.549
web designer and we're going to focus on
00:53:40.559 --> 00:53:43.589
local traffic. I'm gonna focus on my
00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:45.589
local business and try to get pe, you
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:46.870
know, he's like, I'm gonna operate like
00:53:46.880 --> 00:53:48.870
I what back in the day when I was living
00:53:48.880 --> 00:53:50.710
in Richmond, there's a, you know, it has
00:53:50.720 --> 00:53:53.270
a much bigger crowd of people in a in a
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:55.510
in a major city versus where he lives
00:53:55.520 --> 00:53:57.589
now. And so he's like, I'm just going to
00:53:57.599 --> 00:54:01.190
refocus on advertising locally and doing
00:54:01.200 --> 00:54:03.109
local business and so on and so forth.
00:54:03.119 --> 00:54:05.349
Now, probably what I'm not supposed to
00:54:05.359 --> 00:54:09.670
tell all of you wonderful people is he's
00:54:09.680 --> 00:54:12.069
got an amazing family and he's got an
00:54:12.079 --> 00:54:15.430
amazing wife and he and he's got uh this
00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:19.190
piece of property
00:54:19.200 --> 00:54:21.750
is incredible. And I can tell you right
00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:23.990
from being back here in Northwestern PA,
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:28.150
every morning I sit out on my porch and
00:54:28.160 --> 00:54:29.910
drink a cup of coffee and there's not
00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:31.750
another house in sight. There's not
00:54:31.760 --> 00:54:34.230
another person in sight. There's not a
00:54:34.240 --> 00:54:36.390
there's not another car in sight. It's
00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:40.309
just serenity. And I mean, I have never
00:54:40.319 --> 00:54:43.270
felt healthier.
00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:46.230
>> Just knowing peace
00:54:46.240 --> 00:54:48.950
and and I I imagine that that is exactly
00:54:48.960 --> 00:54:51.270
what Phil is experiencing. He has got
00:54:51.280 --> 00:54:53.510
this he's got this incredible piece of
00:54:53.520 --> 00:54:56.309
property. Uh, and it's got a lake on it
00:54:56.319 --> 00:54:59.430
and I mean he's got critters and you can
00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:01.430
hear the peepers and you can hear the
00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:03.190
frogs and you can hear all that stuff.
00:55:03.200 --> 00:55:06.069
So I and and I know that he was also f
00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:08.309
he and his wife were focusing on
00:55:08.319 --> 00:55:11.510
off-roading a lot. Um, and I know that
00:55:11.520 --> 00:55:14.309
that's a big passion of his. So, uh, to
00:55:14.319 --> 00:55:16.390
answer your question, although I haven't
00:55:16.400 --> 00:55:18.150
spoken to him in a couple of months, I
00:55:18.160 --> 00:55:20.630
can probably tell you, yeah, he is doing
00:55:20.640 --> 00:55:22.470
great and I don't think that he needs
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:24.870
you to. Um, from what you were telling
00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:26.950
me, Brian, and from what Papa Smurf was
00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:29.589
telling me, you like the metrics with
00:55:29.599 --> 00:55:32.069
YouTube is all kinds of screwy and and
00:55:32.079 --> 00:55:34.230
they they pay different now and they
00:55:34.240 --> 00:55:36.790
don't, you know, like what is the real
00:55:36.800 --> 00:55:40.470
motivation for continuing to do
00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:42.950
YouTube videos if you're not in it for
00:55:42.960 --> 00:55:43.670
the community?
00:55:43.680 --> 00:55:46.390
>> Oh, you you you have to you have to
00:55:46.400 --> 00:55:48.710
absolutely love it and and love the con.
00:55:48.720 --> 00:55:50.390
For me, it's the con keeping the
00:55:50.400 --> 00:55:51.990
connection with with everybody out
00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:53.109
there.
00:55:53.119 --> 00:55:53.910
I did not
00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:55.190
>> It's not monetized.
00:55:55.200 --> 00:55:57.270
>> It's not monetized. I do and and half
00:55:57.280 --> 00:55:58.950
the videos that I do make says this
00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:02.390
video is not eligible for monetization
00:56:02.400 --> 00:56:04.150
because I do the mental floss, you know,
00:56:04.160 --> 00:56:06.230
and I'm always showing somebody's
00:56:06.240 --> 00:56:08.309
Instagram feed or something like that.
00:56:08.319 --> 00:56:10.230
And as soon as I do that, it goes, "This
00:56:10.240 --> 00:56:12.150
video is not eligible for monetization."
00:56:12.160 --> 00:56:14.549
And I go, I don't care. Like, that's not
00:56:14.559 --> 00:56:16.470
why we're doing this. We're not doing it
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:18.630
for
00:56:18.640 --> 00:56:20.069
putting money in my pocket. We're doing
00:56:20.079 --> 00:56:21.270
this because I'm trying to make a
00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:23.190
connection with
00:56:23.200 --> 00:56:26.230
you people and my friends and being able
00:56:26.240 --> 00:56:28.309
to talk to
00:56:28.319 --> 00:56:29.910
me run my mouth for two hours on a
00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:32.470
Saturday night.
00:56:32.480 --> 00:56:37.030
Anyway, sorry. So,
00:56:37.040 --> 00:56:43.510
what else we got? Um, next one. Uh,
00:56:43.520 --> 00:56:47.829
we did that and we did that and
00:56:47.839 --> 00:56:49.510
what is this? What does it say? Erin,
00:56:49.520 --> 00:56:51.430
will you and Brian talk about how Brian
00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:53.349
had to start over with a new YouTube
00:56:53.359 --> 00:56:56.309
channel? Also, Brian
00:56:56.319 --> 00:56:58.470
Also, why does Brian wear smoked lenses
00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:00.390
to help with his health? Or is that just
00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:02.309
personal? Is that just, you know, dark
00:57:02.319 --> 00:57:05.430
and mysterious Brian Spitler with his
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:08.230
smoky glasses? Hello,
00:57:08.240 --> 00:57:10.309
>> I'm Brian Spitler.
00:57:10.319 --> 00:57:13.990
>> So, I suffer from the migraines that uh
00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:17.030
that include the aura. Uh so how they
00:57:17.040 --> 00:57:20.069
start is um when there's a flicker of
00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:22.390
light or or something
00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:24.789
which is normally how it triggers my
00:57:24.799 --> 00:57:26.390
migraines anyways. You can let me know
00:57:26.400 --> 00:57:28.230
out there if you guys suffer through
00:57:28.240 --> 00:57:30.950
that. Uh an aura starts in one corner of
00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:32.470
my eye. I could see it all the way out
00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:35.670
here and it starts as a like a sparkler
00:57:35.680 --> 00:57:39.030
has been right and it slowly moves to
00:57:39.040 --> 00:57:41.190
the center of my vision until there's a
00:57:41.200 --> 00:57:42.549
point where I can't see what's in front
00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:44.230
of me. So I got to bury my head in a
00:57:44.240 --> 00:57:46.390
pillow, wait for it to move to the other
00:57:46.400 --> 00:57:49.990
side. And during that period, it can
00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:52.470
take anywhere up from an hour to two. My
00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:57.430
my son gets them and um as well. And uh
00:57:57.440 --> 00:57:59.030
if
00:57:59.040 --> 00:58:00.470
it it could take up to two hours for
00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:02.470
that to pass and go from one side to the
00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:04.309
other and you feel nauseous during that
00:58:04.319 --> 00:58:07.030
per period. When they pass,
00:58:07.040 --> 00:58:08.950
the pain that comes and follows after
00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:11.349
that for about eight, six, eight, 10
00:58:11.359 --> 00:58:13.030
hours is like somebody sticking a
00:58:13.040 --> 00:58:14.630
screwdriver in your head and just
00:58:14.640 --> 00:58:17.030
twisting and turning. Yeah.
00:58:17.040 --> 00:58:19.030
>> So, I do everything including
00:58:19.040 --> 00:58:22.150
medications and uh controlling the the
00:58:22.160 --> 00:58:24.230
the amount of light that's flashing and
00:58:24.240 --> 00:58:25.670
and sunlight. And
00:58:25.680 --> 00:58:27.430
>> when now it's been a great while since
00:58:27.440 --> 00:58:29.589
I've had my last migraine, but I when I
00:58:29.599 --> 00:58:31.270
was younger, I used to get migraines all
00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:33.030
the time. and and I know exactly what
00:58:33.040 --> 00:58:35.910
you're talking like the aura it it it's
00:58:35.920 --> 00:58:38.710
just like the you can just see star
00:58:38.720 --> 00:58:42.150
light on the outside but for me I I so
00:58:42.160 --> 00:58:44.230
as soon as I started seeing it I had 20
00:58:44.240 --> 00:58:46.710
minutes to get ibuprofen on board if I
00:58:46.720 --> 00:58:49.349
did not get ibuprofen on board I just
00:58:49.359 --> 00:58:51.349
you know it it the whole thing blinds
00:58:51.359 --> 00:58:53.190
you and then you just crash and and
00:58:53.200 --> 00:58:55.109
you're in so much pain and you can't
00:58:55.119 --> 00:58:57.030
breathe you can't move
00:58:57.040 --> 00:58:57.589
>> um
00:58:57.599 --> 00:59:01.430
>> I have I've come across one that they
00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:03.990
give me that it's a it you put it under
00:59:04.000 --> 00:59:05.670
your tongue and it just dissolves under
00:59:05.680 --> 00:59:08.390
your tongue and it it just it doesn't
00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:10.710
make it go away but it it stops it from
00:59:10.720 --> 00:59:12.230
getting worse and I'm very thank
00:59:12.240 --> 00:59:16.069
thankful for that. But um just combining
00:59:16.079 --> 00:59:18.789
everything that I can do to um to head
00:59:18.799 --> 00:59:21.510
them off is is
00:59:21.520 --> 00:59:23.190
it's more important than the medication
00:59:23.200 --> 00:59:24.950
for me.
00:59:24.960 --> 00:59:27.589
>> Hey detailing with AK appreciate your
00:59:27.599 --> 00:59:29.589
service. Thank you very much. There was
00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:31.510
another question within that. Uh, did he
00:59:31.520 --> 00:59:32.309
have another question?
00:59:32.319 --> 00:59:34.549
>> I'm sure he did. I'm really terrible at
00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:39.349
my job.
00:59:39.359 --> 00:59:42.549
>> I'm sure he did. They question. Uh, what
00:59:42.559 --> 00:59:46.069
did I say? I said, uh,
00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:48.390
>> oh yeah, the question was, Aaron, will
00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:50.150
you and Brian talk about how Brian had
00:59:50.160 --> 00:59:51.670
to start over with a new YouTube
00:59:51.680 --> 00:59:53.109
channel?
00:59:53.119 --> 00:59:56.069
>> Oh, uh, sure. That's that's uh I I
00:59:56.079 --> 00:59:58.470
covered that one. That's an easy. So,
00:59:58.480 --> 01:00:00.870
uh, handing the business over to my son,
01:00:00.880 --> 01:00:02.870
I wanted to,
01:00:02.880 --> 01:00:05.190
uh, also hand over the channel, which is
01:00:05.200 --> 01:00:07.910
the same name, and then he could add
01:00:07.920 --> 01:00:10.630
his, uh, own content at at some point,
01:00:10.640 --> 01:00:13.829
which he's working on now, uh, getting
01:00:13.839 --> 01:00:16.390
used to that. And I wanted to start
01:00:16.400 --> 01:00:19.030
something fresh, uh, with the auction
01:00:19.040 --> 01:00:21.750
cars. So, that's kind of that that's why
01:00:21.760 --> 01:00:24.309
I did that. He can he has that channel
01:00:24.319 --> 01:00:27.430
now. uh the the channel name anyway and
01:00:27.440 --> 01:00:30.230
the presence and he can take over
01:00:30.240 --> 01:00:33.589
whenever he wants to.
01:00:33.599 --> 01:00:35.589
>> So he he's not really actively throwing
01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:37.030
out videos.
01:00:37.040 --> 01:00:39.910
>> Not act no he's he actually is building
01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:42.870
content and and polishing his skills. He
01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:44.390
has a lot of content. None have been
01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:45.430
published yet.
01:00:45.440 --> 01:00:45.829
>> Okay.
01:00:45.839 --> 01:00:48.230
>> His what he does not enjoy is the
01:00:48.240 --> 01:00:51.270
editing part of it. Uh and he's getting
01:00:51.280 --> 01:00:52.789
better at that. And of, you know,
01:00:52.799 --> 01:00:55.109
there's always newer and newer software
01:00:55.119 --> 01:00:58.630
that helps and makes that easier. Um, I
01:00:58.640 --> 01:01:00.230
just told them to use what what I use.
01:01:00.240 --> 01:01:01.990
You can I can upload my videos in like
01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:03.670
10 15 minutes now. So, it's
01:01:03.680 --> 01:01:05.750
>> I I I'm aware I I'm aware of your
01:01:05.760 --> 01:01:07.190
skills. I've seen it. I've seen it
01:01:07.200 --> 01:01:08.630
firsthand. And you show off and you go
01:01:08.640 --> 01:01:09.829
like, "Oh, so easy." And I'm just like,
01:01:09.839 --> 01:01:12.309
"Yeah, okay."
01:01:12.319 --> 01:01:15.829
>> Um, it's a good question. So, I'm going
01:01:15.839 --> 01:01:18.390
to throw this out there and and you you
01:01:18.400 --> 01:01:20.549
can say whatever you want to say about
01:01:20.559 --> 01:01:23.510
it, but Don Delp would like to know, is
01:01:23.520 --> 01:01:25.109
Brian's
01:01:25.119 --> 01:01:27.190
son someday going to want to take over
01:01:27.200 --> 01:01:30.630
the BC line?
01:01:30.640 --> 01:01:33.589
Uh so that would be impossible because
01:01:33.599 --> 01:01:37.510
what was purchased uh be beyond the
01:01:37.520 --> 01:01:40.789
formula was my ability also to go back
01:01:40.799 --> 01:01:43.430
and become a competitor again because it
01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:45.349
was purchased by somebody local.
01:01:45.359 --> 01:01:45.670
>> Okay.
01:01:45.680 --> 01:01:46.789
>> Does that make sense?
01:01:46.799 --> 01:01:48.230
>> Yeah. 100%.
01:01:48.240 --> 01:01:50.710
>> Yeah.
01:01:50.720 --> 01:01:52.150
It's a non-compete.
01:01:52.160 --> 01:01:54.309
>> Yeah. Yeah.
01:01:54.319 --> 01:01:57.109
>> Non-compete. Yeah. All right. So, can he
01:01:57.119 --> 01:02:00.150
do his own stuff with He can under a
01:02:00.160 --> 01:02:02.309
different name. Absolutely. With me
01:02:02.319 --> 01:02:06.630
helping and uh you know guiding his way
01:02:06.640 --> 01:02:11.910
through it. Absolutely.
01:02:11.920 --> 01:02:14.549
>> I'm reading I'm reading you can treat
01:02:14.559 --> 01:02:16.630
migraines.
01:02:16.640 --> 01:02:19.430
They tried a non-vasive non-medication
01:02:19.440 --> 01:02:22.870
treatment. put ice water on cotton and
01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:26.470
run it up and down the spine for
01:02:26.480 --> 01:02:29.750
uh once a minute for 15 minutes, once a
01:02:29.760 --> 01:02:32.710
day or so. And it really worked for this
01:02:32.720 --> 01:02:33.750
person
01:02:33.760 --> 01:02:36.950
>> up and down the spine um full length or
01:02:36.960 --> 01:02:39.510
the upper part of the spine.
01:02:39.520 --> 01:02:42.309
>> Uh it just says uh put ice uh ice water
01:02:42.319 --> 01:02:45.349
on a cotton on cotton and run it up and
01:02:45.359 --> 01:02:46.950
down the spine. So, I'm going to assume
01:02:46.960 --> 01:02:49.030
the entire length of the spine from
01:02:49.040 --> 01:02:50.710
coxix to
01:02:50.720 --> 01:02:53.030
>> what is it? This is
01:02:53.040 --> 01:02:56.230
>> Oh, you were an EMS for 15 years. Um,
01:02:56.240 --> 01:02:58.470
coxix to um
01:02:58.480 --> 01:02:59.109
>> ser
01:02:59.119 --> 01:03:00.870
>> I know this is the axis. I know this is
01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:04.870
the axis, but it's there's a the thorax
01:03:04.880 --> 01:03:08.390
and the lumbar and the I forget who
01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:09.430
cares. It's been
01:03:09.440 --> 01:03:12.230
>> Well, thank you. I will try absolutely
01:03:12.240 --> 01:03:14.789
anything to prevent them. So
01:03:14.799 --> 01:03:15.029
>> yeah,
01:03:15.039 --> 01:03:16.630
>> much appreciated.
01:03:16.640 --> 01:03:20.630
>> Yeah.
01:03:20.640 --> 01:03:25.829
All right, next one.
01:03:25.839 --> 01:03:29.109
By the way, um I'm going to tell you I I
01:03:29.119 --> 01:03:31.990
I
01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:34.069
if your son ever did want to start his
01:03:34.079 --> 01:03:37.990
own product line, I would slap him.
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:40.789
This [snorts] is the most
01:03:40.799 --> 01:03:43.510
oversaturated industry on the planet.
01:03:43.520 --> 01:03:48.630
And I mean like it is h when you got out
01:03:48.640 --> 01:03:51.349
of the game and I'm you know one I'm
01:03:51.359 --> 01:03:52.789
glad that you got out of the game but
01:03:52.799 --> 01:03:55.029
two when you you and I behind the scenes
01:03:55.039 --> 01:03:58.230
we would talk about stuff and and a lot
01:03:58.240 --> 01:04:00.150
of your
01:04:00.160 --> 01:04:02.230
a lot of your struggles for lack of a
01:04:02.240 --> 01:04:03.270
better word I'm just using the word
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:04.630
struggles but they weren't struggles
01:04:04.640 --> 01:04:08.870
they were issues. a lot of your issues.
01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:11.029
You were doing like three full-time jobs
01:04:11.039 --> 01:04:12.630
at a time. You were doing you were doing
01:04:12.640 --> 01:04:14.390
a chemical company. You were doing the
01:04:14.400 --> 01:04:16.069
the detailing. You were doing the
01:04:16.079 --> 01:04:19.109
YouTube. And then then you transitioned
01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:21.910
into auction car reconditioning.
01:04:21.920 --> 01:04:24.390
Like I'm like, "This guy is doing three
01:04:24.400 --> 01:04:27.270
full-time jobs, and I only have one
01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:30.950
full-time job, and it takes everything
01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:33.750
to just do Phoenix." And here you are
01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:36.470
pulling off three. And when you got out
01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:38.630
of it, I was like, "Yeah, I get it. I I
01:04:38.640 --> 01:04:40.630
understand. I understand why you got out
01:04:40.640 --> 01:04:43.270
of this one." You
01:04:43.280 --> 01:04:45.270
>> Yeah. There there were many reasons, but
01:04:45.280 --> 01:04:49.029
the the most important one is that
01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:53.349
that business deserved 100% of my
01:04:53.359 --> 01:04:55.829
attention. And I just could not I I
01:04:55.839 --> 01:04:58.870
could not do it. I to do it right. It It
01:04:58.880 --> 01:05:01.190
deserves all of you. and I couldn't do
01:05:01.200 --> 01:05:02.630
it.
01:05:02.640 --> 01:05:04.230
>> And if I can't do something right, I'm
01:05:04.240 --> 01:05:05.270
not going to do it at all.
01:05:05.280 --> 01:05:06.789
>> Yeah, for sure. Again, it goes back to
01:05:06.799 --> 01:05:08.470
the our
01:05:08.480 --> 01:05:09.990
Smurf
01:05:12.720 --> 01:05:14.309
on the show, Smurf. Oh, that's right.
01:05:14.319 --> 01:05:18.630
Yeah. Anyway, um
01:05:18.640 --> 01:05:21.670
I'm I lost my train of thought. I
01:05:21.680 --> 01:05:23.109
completely lost my train of thought when
01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:25.829
I saw Smurf. Smurf just drove all of my
01:05:25.839 --> 01:05:29.829
thoughts out of my head. Anyway,
01:05:29.839 --> 01:05:31.589
um
01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:35.270
the next one.
01:05:35.280 --> 01:05:36.470
Oh, we already heard that one. All
01:05:36.480 --> 01:05:39.430
right, next one. Um, in a few months, my
01:05:39.440 --> 01:05:41.910
wife is going to be getting her dad's
01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:45.910

01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:47.910
Phoenix Kronos graphine coating be
01:05:47.920 --> 01:05:50.470
enough to coat it? Uh, if you don't
01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:54.150
follow Ivan's apply it thin philosophy,
01:05:54.160 --> 01:05:56.630
I I don't follow Ivan's apply it thin
01:05:56.640 --> 01:05:57.190
philosophy.
01:05:57.200 --> 01:05:59.190
>> Yeah. And aren't your bottles 100 mil
01:05:59.200 --> 01:06:00.710
bottles,
01:06:00.720 --> 01:06:02.309
Aaron?
01:06:02.319 --> 01:06:05.270
>> Aren't they three sizes? 30 milliliters,
01:06:05.280 --> 01:06:07.430
50 milliliters, and 100 milliliters.
01:06:07.440 --> 01:06:10.230
>> Yeah, get get the 50 or or 100, and
01:06:10.240 --> 01:06:12.789
you'll have some leftover uh to do the
01:06:12.799 --> 01:06:14.950
the door jams, the the wheels, the
01:06:14.960 --> 01:06:17.829
glass, um any and you know, maybe
01:06:17.839 --> 01:06:21.270
another project.
01:06:21.280 --> 01:06:23.109
>> Let's get this clear. Papa Serve is only
01:06:23.119 --> 01:06:24.789
here for Brian. Okay. All right. Yeah.
01:06:24.799 --> 01:06:30.470
Shots fired. Got it. Got it.
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:32.230
All right. Hold on. I All right. All
01:06:32.240 --> 01:06:33.589
right. This is getting out of control
01:06:33.599 --> 01:06:35.109
and it's getting out of hand and I'm
01:06:35.119 --> 01:06:38.950
gonna have to rain in Rick's media.
01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:41.510
I sent you a link to the show. Dingus.
01:06:41.520 --> 01:06:43.990
If you want to pop in, pop in. All
01:06:44.000 --> 01:06:46.309

bismerch me in the comments section, you
01:06:49.599 --> 01:06:51.256
coward.
01:06:51.266 --> 01:06:51.910
[clears throat]
01:06:51.920 --> 01:06:53.910
Anyway, all right. Back to the regular
01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:56.069
broadcast.
01:06:56.079 --> 01:06:57.910
Hey, I made I made this guy a producer.
01:06:57.920 --> 01:06:59.589
All right, let's I made this guy a
01:06:59.599 --> 01:07:02.069
producer, right? Because I needed help
01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:03.589
like getting ho, you know, getting
01:07:03.599 --> 01:07:07.190
guests and and and promotions and and
01:07:07.200 --> 01:07:08.950
things of that nature, right? And I gave
01:07:08.960 --> 01:07:11.349
him I gave him full access to all things
01:07:11.359 --> 01:07:13.190
Phoenix and all things the corner. And
01:07:13.200 --> 01:07:15.109
he's done some amazing things like he
01:07:15.119 --> 01:07:18.309
was he was behind the new logo uh and
01:07:18.319 --> 01:07:21.029
stuff like that, right? So Rick has been
01:07:21.039 --> 01:07:25.029
an exceptional friend. Um, and and and I
01:07:25.039 --> 01:07:26.870
you know, and I know that he cares a lot
01:07:26.880 --> 01:07:28.870
about Phoenix. Maybe not so much me, but
01:07:28.880 --> 01:07:30.069
I know that he cares a lot about
01:07:30.079 --> 01:07:31.829
Phoenix. And so I was like, "Hey, why
01:07:31.839 --> 01:07:33.750
don't you be a producer?" And then all
01:07:33.760 --> 01:07:35.670
of a sudden he's just like, "Oh, well,
01:07:35.680 --> 01:07:37.750
Ahmed won't come on your show unless I'm
01:07:37.760 --> 01:07:40.069
on your show. I need to." And I was just
01:07:40.079 --> 01:07:42.549
like, "Oh, okay. All right, fine. Fine."
01:07:42.559 --> 01:07:46.470
Like, so okie, you're the producer.
01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:48.390
You're not supposed to be on the show. I
01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:50.710
did say that once, but I mean at the
01:07:50.720 --> 01:07:56.309
same time did with the uh the tooth guy
01:07:56.319 --> 01:07:58.870
Gary, he was a producer on the Howard
01:07:58.880 --> 01:08:00.630
Stern show and he was on the show every
01:08:00.640 --> 01:08:03.349
single day. Just because I say horrible
01:08:03.359 --> 01:08:05.109
mean things, Rick, doesn't mean you're
01:08:05.119 --> 01:08:07.109
supposed to take it personally. You're
01:08:07.119 --> 01:08:09.190
not supposed to listen to me. Nobody
01:08:09.200 --> 01:08:11.190
listens to me. What are you talking
01:08:11.200 --> 01:08:16.407
about? That's Yeah. So, and
01:08:16.417 --> 01:08:19.269
[clears throat]
01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:23.510
End of soap box number two.
01:08:23.520 --> 01:08:25.829
All right. So, all right. So, 50 milll
01:08:25.839 --> 01:08:27.990
bottle of cra Kronos graphine will be
01:08:28.000 --> 01:08:30.630
more than enough for a 2025 expedition.
01:08:30.640 --> 01:08:32.709
Correct.
01:08:32.719 --> 01:08:35.269
>> Yes, I would I would get the the 100.
01:08:35.279 --> 01:08:38.630
The 50 should do it. Um, get the 100 and
01:08:38.640 --> 01:08:40.630
you'll you'll be able to, you know,
01:08:40.640 --> 01:08:42.630
again, do the door jambs and anything
01:08:42.640 --> 01:08:44.470
else you want, plus have some leftover
01:08:44.480 --> 01:08:47.269
for your motorcycle, jet ski.
01:08:47.279 --> 01:08:47.990
>> Yeah,
01:08:48.000 --> 01:08:50.309
>> I mean, as my dad would say, better to
01:08:50.319 --> 01:08:52.070
have it, not need it, then need it, not
01:08:52.080 --> 01:08:53.749
have it.
01:08:53.759 --> 01:08:55.349
>> There you go. Hope that answers your
01:08:55.359 --> 01:08:58.390
question. Detailing with anything,
01:08:58.400 --> 01:09:01.910
>> right? I mean, it's something to keep u
01:09:01.920 --> 01:09:04.229
mindful of is is whatever media you use
01:09:04.239 --> 01:09:06.470
to to get the product on there. If you
01:09:06.480 --> 01:09:09.269
use something that really absorbs a lot
01:09:09.279 --> 01:09:11.349
of the product,
01:09:11.359 --> 01:09:13.669
>> you know, maybe uh maybe a 100 would be
01:09:13.679 --> 01:09:15.030
a better idea.
01:09:15.040 --> 01:09:16.870
>> Okay.
01:09:16.880 --> 01:09:20.390
>> Um All right. And then I have my three.
01:09:20.400 --> 01:09:22.229
I don't know what your three would be.
01:09:22.239 --> 01:09:24.149
He said, "If someone were to ask, what
01:09:24.159 --> 01:09:27.669
three non-coding products of Phoenix EOD
01:09:27.679 --> 01:09:31.189
should everyone try?" Um,
01:09:31.199 --> 01:09:33.110
honestly, what put me on the map, I
01:09:33.120 --> 01:09:33.990
think, is my type.
01:09:34.000 --> 01:09:35.349
>> Glossom wax.
01:09:35.359 --> 01:09:38.070
>> Glossom waxes. I love glossom wax. I
01:09:38.080 --> 01:09:39.829
don't know if you know, if you're into
01:09:39.839 --> 01:09:41.910
waxes, absolutely. I don't know. You
01:09:41.920 --> 01:09:43.829
know, he just asked about I think he
01:09:43.839 --> 01:09:45.030
just he was the one that just asked
01:09:45.040 --> 01:09:47.430
about the ceramic coating. So, uh, I
01:09:47.440 --> 01:09:49.510
would not mix waxes and and and
01:09:49.520 --> 01:09:53.269
polyazine. um they do not they don't
01:09:53.279 --> 01:09:56.390
live well together. Waxes um because of
01:09:56.400 --> 01:09:58.870
their their their lifespan and the way
01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:02.390
that polyane is porous, waxes will get
01:10:02.400 --> 01:10:05.350
into those pores and then when the wax
01:10:05.360 --> 01:10:07.830
finally fails, it's going to look really
01:10:07.840 --> 01:10:09.830
really funky and you're going to have to
01:10:09.840 --> 01:10:12.390
do a decon to get it to get it all out.
01:10:12.400 --> 01:10:15.350
So, um
01:10:15.360 --> 01:10:16.950
um
01:10:16.960 --> 01:10:21.430
I would say for me my top three um or
01:10:21.440 --> 01:10:24.550
necessities, if you will, um would be
01:10:24.560 --> 01:10:30.310
the uh the Titan hybrid detail. Um it's
01:10:30.320 --> 01:10:32.950
uh it's my flagship. It's it's it I love
01:10:32.960 --> 01:10:35.189
it when I use it. It still, you know,
01:10:35.199 --> 01:10:36.709
five years later, it still makes me
01:10:36.719 --> 01:10:39.669
giddy using Titan. I put, you know, the
01:10:39.679 --> 01:10:41.669
next day I put my hand on and it just
01:10:41.679 --> 01:10:44.709
feels like a force field on the car. Um
01:10:44.719 --> 01:10:50.630
I'm very prideful of um of Apex Auto
01:10:50.640 --> 01:10:53.590
Wash. Um, I I love I I love the banter
01:10:53.600 --> 01:10:55.430
between me and Pan the Organizer when it
01:10:55.440 --> 01:10:57.189
comes to Apex because he was talking
01:10:57.199 --> 01:11:00.310
about how uh for the longest time uh
01:11:00.320 --> 01:11:03.990
CarPro Reset was the greatest product on
01:11:04.000 --> 01:11:05.669
the planet as far as soaps are
01:11:05.679 --> 01:11:07.910
concerned, but we're just splitting
01:11:07.920 --> 01:11:10.390
hairs with Apex Auto Wash. We're just
01:11:10.400 --> 01:11:12.950
splitting hairs and CarPro Reset is just
01:11:12.960 --> 01:11:15.110
a little bit better. And and he did that
01:11:15.120 --> 01:11:17.430
for years, even though I changed the
01:11:17.440 --> 01:11:19.510
formula three times and we were clearly
01:11:19.520 --> 01:11:23.189
better than CarPro Reset. But
01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:25.830
look at the price tag. If we're just
01:11:25.840 --> 01:11:29.669
splitting hairs and CarPro Reset is $30
01:11:29.679 --> 01:11:33.510
more a gallon, I think I'm gonna go
01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:35.990
Apex.
01:11:36.000 --> 01:11:37.990
Fred. Fred's in the house. Fred, we just
01:11:38.000 --> 01:11:40.070
were talking about you a little bit ago.
01:11:40.080 --> 01:11:41.669
Uh,
01:11:41.679 --> 01:11:43.830
>> I'm coming to see you in September. So,
01:11:43.840 --> 01:11:45.750
make sure that you have one of those
01:11:45.760 --> 01:11:49.270
amazing Chicago pizza joints ready to
01:11:49.280 --> 01:11:53.430
rock and or roll. Nate, about the
01:11:53.440 --> 01:11:55.350
Raspberry set, uh that was supposed to
01:11:55.360 --> 01:11:57.750
be a Fourth of July release. Um, but it
01:11:57.760 --> 01:12:00.550
epically failed. And now that we are in
01:12:00.560 --> 01:12:03.830
Ohio and we are up and running in Ohio
01:12:03.840 --> 01:12:06.390
and I have I have minions that work for
01:12:06.400 --> 01:12:10.229
me on a regular basis now, um, it is
01:12:10.239 --> 01:12:12.950
awesome. I love having employees. I
01:12:12.960 --> 01:12:14.149
didn't think I was going to like having
01:12:14.159 --> 01:12:16.229
a lot of employees. I had, you know,
01:12:16.239 --> 01:12:19.030
back in New Jersey, I had pdeiums or I
01:12:19.040 --> 01:12:21.189
should Yeah, pdeiums like, "Hey, I I
01:12:21.199 --> 01:12:22.310
need you to come into the warehouse. We
01:12:22.320 --> 01:12:23.669
have a big order to deal with." So on
01:12:23.679 --> 01:12:26.070
and so forth. But now
01:12:26.080 --> 01:12:28.229
now we can afford to have full-timers
01:12:28.239 --> 01:12:30.310
and it's
01:12:30.320 --> 01:12:32.070
>> I'm glad you have the help you deserve.
01:12:32.080 --> 01:12:32.709
That's
01:12:32.719 --> 01:12:33.270
>> Thank you.
01:12:33.280 --> 01:12:34.870
>> It's about time.
01:12:34.880 --> 01:12:36.870
>> And it's like it's like I get to be I
01:12:36.880 --> 01:12:39.430
get to be two of me. It's wonderful. You
01:12:39.440 --> 01:12:40.870
guys can go fill the orders. I'm going
01:12:40.880 --> 01:12:42.390
to go over here and play with some soap.
01:12:42.400 --> 01:12:45.430
And so I'm planning on um I'm going to
01:12:45.440 --> 01:12:48.070
probably do another
01:12:48.080 --> 01:12:49.590
holiday release because I just like
01:12:49.600 --> 01:12:51.750
holidays. I'm going to do the holiday
01:12:51.760 --> 01:12:55.030
release for the raspberry soap and I'm
01:12:55.040 --> 01:12:57.990
also going to do um we have that that
01:12:58.000 --> 01:13:00.229
that spray sealant that you and I were
01:13:00.239 --> 01:13:01.430
playing with, Brian. You remember the
01:13:01.440 --> 01:13:04.229
green the green spray sealant? So I
01:13:04.239 --> 01:13:06.310
think I'm going to launch that uh for
01:13:06.320 --> 01:13:08.870
the for Thanksgiving as well. And it's
01:13:08.880 --> 01:13:11.110
pretty pretty exciting. And then lastly,
01:13:11.120 --> 01:13:14.470
but not uh least, uh Typhen, my interior
01:13:14.480 --> 01:13:17.750
cleaner, I think is
01:13:17.760 --> 01:13:20.550
in my opinion, it is the best interior
01:13:20.560 --> 01:13:22.310
cleaner that's that is out there. And
01:13:22.320 --> 01:13:23.910
especially that we partnered up with
01:13:23.920 --> 01:13:26.550
Biobombs. Um and you drop the little
01:13:26.560 --> 01:13:31.510
mini bomb into Typhen. Uh this stuff is
01:13:31.520 --> 01:13:33.910
phenomenal. And and it's not just a car
01:13:33.920 --> 01:13:36.630
product. Um, I had a very sick dog that
01:13:36.640 --> 01:13:38.310
uh
01:13:38.320 --> 01:13:40.790
last year we had to put down uh due to
01:13:40.800 --> 01:13:44.310
cancer and that cancer bled
01:13:44.320 --> 01:13:47.830
everywhere and it caused other problems
01:13:47.840 --> 01:13:51.030
and um Typhen
01:13:51.040 --> 01:13:55.030
handled all of it amazingly. So, my top
01:13:55.040 --> 01:13:58.950
three, Titan, Apex, Typhen, those are my
01:13:58.960 --> 01:14:02.870
three. What are your picks?
01:14:02.880 --> 01:14:05.990
I would have to go with the popa cut fab
01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:10.470
finish and the glossom wax for non non
01:14:10.480 --> 01:14:10.790
spoken
01:14:10.800 --> 01:14:14.390
>> like a true detailer. I appreciate that.
01:14:14.400 --> 01:14:16.630
Thank you.
01:14:16.640 --> 01:14:20.950
>> I appreciate that. Thanks.
01:14:20.960 --> 01:14:22.870
Where are we?
01:14:22.880 --> 01:14:25.110
An hour and 15 minutes into this thing
01:14:25.120 --> 01:14:27.796
and I am completely off script.
01:14:27.806 --> 01:14:28.630
[laughter]
01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:30.149
>> Nope.
01:14:30.159 --> 01:14:30.709
Uh,
01:14:30.719 --> 01:14:31.830
>> no direction.
01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:34.550
>> Yeah, no direction. Can I just say that
01:14:34.560 --> 01:14:37.030
is my absolute favorite. When you and I
01:14:37.040 --> 01:14:39.990
are in the studio together,
01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:43.910
>> we have such a good time.
01:14:43.920 --> 01:14:45.990
>> Sometimes it can get heated, but for the
01:14:46.000 --> 01:14:47.030
most part,
01:14:47.040 --> 01:14:48.070
>> it's such a good time.
01:14:48.080 --> 01:14:49.430
>> Lots of layoffs. Yeah,
01:14:49.440 --> 01:14:51.350
>> we laugh [laughter] at each other all
01:14:51.360 --> 01:14:52.470
>> We'll get back to that again.
01:14:52.480 --> 01:14:53.750
>> Yeah. Well, not only that, but it's just
01:14:53.760 --> 01:14:55.590
the stuff that's off camera, too, is
01:14:55.600 --> 01:14:58.550
just hysterical.
01:14:58.560 --> 01:15:00.390
One of my favorite things is making you
01:15:00.400 --> 01:15:04.950
laugh. It's I love it.
01:15:04.960 --> 01:15:09.110
No direction. Where are we going to go?
01:15:09.120 --> 01:15:12.149
All right, let's see here.
01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:15.030
Review these notes real quick. When did
01:15:15.040 --> 01:15:17.590
being a good detail shop stopped being
01:15:17.600 --> 01:15:19.270
enough and suddenly everybody had to
01:15:19.280 --> 01:15:22.149
become a content creator? Um, that's
01:15:22.159 --> 01:15:23.830
question that that Smurf and I have had
01:15:23.840 --> 01:15:26.630
a couple of times. Um,
01:15:26.640 --> 01:15:30.630
is the crest of being an influencer
01:15:30.640 --> 01:15:34.630
over? Like is like
01:15:34.640 --> 01:15:37.270
I feel like
01:15:37.280 --> 01:15:39.189
people are
01:15:39.199 --> 01:15:41.750
a lot more skeptical of of of
01:15:41.760 --> 01:15:43.750
influencers. I think that uh
01:15:43.760 --> 01:15:46.950
>> it it depends on what your intent is. My
01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:49.750
intent when I got into it is a lot
01:15:49.760 --> 01:15:52.790
different than um a lot of them that are
01:15:52.800 --> 01:15:54.709
that are out there and getting into it
01:15:54.719 --> 01:15:57.350
these days. Um
01:15:57.360 --> 01:15:59.910
the intent I have on on to keep
01:15:59.920 --> 01:16:01.910
creating. If if you notice that what I
01:16:01.920 --> 01:16:03.669
put out there, there's some videos that
01:16:03.679 --> 01:16:05.430
do really well. There are some that I
01:16:05.440 --> 01:16:07.910
know are going to get hardly any views.
01:16:07.920 --> 01:16:09.990
But to me, it's just as important to get
01:16:10.000 --> 01:16:11.510
those out there because I know it's
01:16:11.520 --> 01:16:12.870
going to help the one or two or three
01:16:12.880 --> 01:16:15.110
people. if it helps, you know, those one
01:16:15.120 --> 01:16:17.110
or two or three people, it just that
01:16:17.120 --> 01:16:21.910
makes my day and then again the uh
01:16:21.920 --> 01:16:23.669
you know, just the the connection I have
01:16:23.679 --> 01:16:26.149
with a lot of people out there. Uh but
01:16:26.159 --> 01:16:28.630
that's me. Uh depends on what you're
01:16:28.640 --> 01:16:30.550
creating content for.
01:16:30.560 --> 01:16:32.390
>> Uh yeah, I mean that that bubble has
01:16:32.400 --> 01:16:34.870
burst a long time ago. And if you're
01:16:34.880 --> 01:16:36.390
still doing it,
01:16:36.400 --> 01:16:38.070
>> those are the people that that love what
01:16:38.080 --> 01:16:39.110
they do.
01:16:39.120 --> 01:16:39.590
>> Yeah.
01:16:39.600 --> 01:16:40.790
>> If you still do it and you're not
01:16:40.800 --> 01:16:43.030
complaining about it and and not It's
01:16:43.040 --> 01:16:43.830
also one of
01:16:43.840 --> 01:16:46.630
>> not chasing the dollar while doing it.
01:16:46.640 --> 01:16:48.470
>> Yeah. Well, that's where I was just just
01:16:48.480 --> 01:16:50.550
about to go. Um I think that that was
01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:53.669
one of the reasons why you survived very
01:16:53.679 --> 01:16:55.750
very nicely when you launched your
01:16:55.760 --> 01:16:59.830
product line. Um is that you never
01:16:59.840 --> 01:17:02.950
compared your product line to anybody
01:17:02.960 --> 01:17:05.510
else's. like if you were doing a product
01:17:05.520 --> 01:17:07.430
review or if you were doing you know
01:17:07.440 --> 01:17:10.630
like uh
01:17:10.640 --> 01:17:12.550
you know you you know a best of or
01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:14.790
something of that nature you never
01:17:14.800 --> 01:17:18.310
compared the BC line and and and that
01:17:18.320 --> 01:17:20.790
really really really kept your integrity
01:17:20.800 --> 01:17:22.390
and I think that people that's that's
01:17:22.400 --> 01:17:24.149
one of the reasons why your channel has
01:17:24.159 --> 01:17:26.390
always done so well is that people
01:17:26.400 --> 01:17:29.669
believe what you say and and and there's
01:17:29.679 --> 01:17:31.910
a trust that you have have built with
01:17:31.920 --> 01:17:34.229
your your audience
01:17:34.239 --> 01:17:37.510
Um, and so you can do a product review
01:17:37.520 --> 01:17:39.350
of a BC line like, "Hey, today we're
01:17:39.360 --> 01:17:41.189
going to talk about BC3, blah blah blah
01:17:41.199 --> 01:17:42.630
blah blah blah blah."
01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:44.390
>> You definitely compared it to anything
01:17:44.400 --> 01:17:45.430
else.
01:17:45.440 --> 01:17:47.669
>> Yeah. And to me it was important to to
01:17:47.679 --> 01:17:50.470
not stop showing other tools and
01:17:50.480 --> 01:17:53.430
products. Um, because even though I had
01:17:53.440 --> 01:17:56.149
my own stuff out, I still enjoyed other
01:17:56.159 --> 01:18:01.030
products and tools. And if if you stop
01:18:01.040 --> 01:18:05.430
using all them and just um you know uh
01:18:05.440 --> 01:18:07.350
crawl into a small hole with your own
01:18:07.360 --> 01:18:09.750
products, you'll never experience new
01:18:09.760 --> 01:18:13.270
things and and keep up with you know uh
01:18:13.280 --> 01:18:15.910
new products, new materials, new raw
01:18:15.920 --> 01:18:17.910
materials. So that that was very
01:18:17.920 --> 01:18:18.870
important.
01:18:18.880 --> 01:18:21.990
>> Yeah. Yeah. You you you uh threaded that
01:18:22.000 --> 01:18:23.990
seamlessly and I I always admired you
01:18:24.000 --> 01:18:27.110
for that. I was like there's that guy
01:18:27.120 --> 01:18:29.430
like again my That makes me a bad
01:18:29.440 --> 01:18:31.669
businessman because a good businessman
01:18:31.679 --> 01:18:34.390
or business person
01:18:34.400 --> 01:18:36.470
>> would have drilled every single day and
01:18:36.480 --> 01:18:39.030
every single minute their product line.
01:18:39.040 --> 01:18:40.630
That's what a good business person would
01:18:40.640 --> 01:18:41.030
have done.
01:18:41.040 --> 01:18:43.270
>> I know I'm the worst. I am the I am the
01:18:43.280 --> 01:18:47.189
worst at promoting my own stuff. I am I
01:18:47.199 --> 01:18:50.709
I don't know again like this this
01:18:50.719 --> 01:18:54.310
podcast isn't about
01:18:54.320 --> 01:18:55.990
it's not about selling products. This
01:18:56.000 --> 01:18:58.390
product, this podcast is about community
01:18:58.400 --> 01:19:01.830
and connecting and
01:19:01.840 --> 01:19:04.870
>> um can I share what percentages of EOD
01:19:04.880 --> 01:19:09.189
business is US and what is Australian? I
01:19:09.199 --> 01:19:11.830
cannot. And the reason why I cannot is
01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:15.110
because I don't know. That's why I hired
01:19:15.120 --> 01:19:18.310
a CFO because I don't do numbers all
01:19:18.320 --> 01:19:20.470
that great. I have a bookkeeper, I have
01:19:20.480 --> 01:19:23.990
an accountant, and now I have CFO.
01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:27.510
But I will say this though,
01:19:27.520 --> 01:19:33.830
definitely sell
01:19:33.840 --> 01:19:36.070
I sell to Australia more than anybody
01:19:36.080 --> 01:19:39.350
else. I Australia is
01:19:39.360 --> 01:19:41.430
Australia is the kitty right now. All
01:19:41.440 --> 01:19:44.790
right. So if if I only had the success
01:19:44.800 --> 01:19:46.390
of the United States that I have in
01:19:46.400 --> 01:19:50.709
Australia, I would be a tycoon.
01:19:50.719 --> 01:19:54.310
But um I I I don't. And and you know the
01:19:54.320 --> 01:19:55.830
question is well why are we so
01:19:55.840 --> 01:19:58.709
successful in Australia? And uh the
01:19:58.719 --> 01:20:00.470
answer is I don't know. I I think it's
01:20:00.480 --> 01:20:02.550
Ahmed and his passion for Phoenix. I
01:20:02.560 --> 01:20:06.229
mean I talked to him um at length. I've
01:20:06.239 --> 01:20:09.350
met his wife. I've met his kids. um
01:20:09.360 --> 01:20:12.870
we're very dear friends and um uh you
01:20:12.880 --> 01:20:15.910
know he is he has truly become a brother
01:20:15.920 --> 01:20:19.430
and um that energy and passion uh for
01:20:19.440 --> 01:20:21.830
Phoenix shows in Australia and like you
01:20:21.840 --> 01:20:24.709
tipped on touched on earlier Australians
01:20:24.719 --> 01:20:27.990
are fanatics and once they get a hold of
01:20:28.000 --> 01:20:30.630
something they're like yeah got so he
01:20:30.640 --> 01:20:32.310
also is friends with a couple of like
01:20:32.320 --> 01:20:35.430
really big Tik Tok um influencers over
01:20:35.440 --> 01:20:38.790
there and um
01:20:38.800 --> 01:20:42.390
and they love the product.
01:20:42.400 --> 01:20:45.270
>> We often talk about some of the the
01:20:45.280 --> 01:20:47.830
territories and countries that are that
01:20:47.840 --> 01:20:49.910
have incredible car cultures that you
01:20:49.920 --> 01:20:54.950
would be shocked out of them and uh
01:20:54.960 --> 01:20:57.750
yeah Australia, India's India is another
01:20:57.760 --> 01:20:59.270
one believe it or not.
01:20:59.280 --> 01:21:01.110
>> Yeah, I I don't unfortunately I don't
01:21:01.120 --> 01:21:04.310
know anybody in India. So it would be a
01:21:04.320 --> 01:21:06.310
wonderful I also Saudi Arabia from what
01:21:06.320 --> 01:21:07.910
I understand like Dubai
01:21:07.920 --> 01:21:10.229
>> they say that that is like the hottest
01:21:10.239 --> 01:21:15.590
car market on the planet is Dubai
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:17.030
but that'd be something.
01:21:17.040 --> 01:21:18.870
>> Uh so anyway I don't know percentages
01:21:18.880 --> 01:21:21.830
because I I don't handle the numbers. Um
01:21:21.840 --> 01:21:23.910
but I can tell you as far as orders are
01:21:23.920 --> 01:21:27.189
concerned um
01:21:27.199 --> 01:21:31.990
it's it's easily 3 to one if not more.
01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:34.870
Thor does a great job of of pushing
01:21:34.880 --> 01:21:36.310
products and I know that we're going to
01:21:36.320 --> 01:21:39.270
be doing a big graphine
01:21:39.280 --> 01:21:42.390
um campaign next next week I think is
01:21:42.400 --> 01:21:43.590
when Jamie said we're going to do a
01:21:43.600 --> 01:21:47.350
graphine campaign. Um
01:21:47.360 --> 01:21:49.590
so I do very well I do well in the
01:21:49.600 --> 01:21:51.669
states. Uh I just don't do nearly as
01:21:51.679 --> 01:21:54.709
well as Australia. I'm thinking I might
01:21:54.719 --> 01:21:57.430
have to get a a a summer home in
01:21:57.440 --> 01:21:59.430
Australia. you know, because these
01:21:59.440 --> 01:22:04.470
Pennsylvania winners are so much fun.
01:22:04.480 --> 01:22:07.990
>> Anywhere warm, I will follow.
01:22:08.000 --> 01:22:13.189
>> So, I got Apex Titan T uh Typhen. Um,
01:22:13.199 --> 01:22:15.510
pot uh I didn't hear the last one. It
01:22:15.520 --> 01:22:17.830
was a wax. Colossum. Glossom is the wax.
01:22:17.840 --> 01:22:21.590
I love glossom wax. I think waxes to me,
01:22:21.600 --> 01:22:23.830
I like I like waxes more than I like
01:22:23.840 --> 01:22:27.830
ceramics. And um there's maybe it's
01:22:27.840 --> 01:22:30.629
nostalgia. It's probably nostalgia, but
01:22:30.639 --> 01:22:34.790
I used to remember uh washing and waxing
01:22:34.800 --> 01:22:37.590
my dad's car with him when I was a kid.
01:22:37.600 --> 01:22:39.910
You remember the old uh the turtle wax
01:22:39.920 --> 01:22:42.310
can and it had the plastic lid and then
01:22:42.320 --> 01:22:44.149
inside the plastic lid had that yellow
01:22:44.159 --> 01:22:46.790
sponge and you could get it all loaded
01:22:46.800 --> 01:22:48.629
up and then you would do the Mr. Miyagi
01:22:48.639 --> 01:22:55.350
wax on wax off stuff. Um with the um
01:22:55.360 --> 01:22:56.870
Thank you, Mary. I appreciate it. You're
01:22:56.880 --> 01:22:59.430
hired.
01:22:59.440 --> 01:23:01.990
So waxes for me have always carried like
01:23:02.000 --> 01:23:06.709
a a real love affair and gloss and wax,
01:23:06.719 --> 01:23:08.790
I wanted to replicate that and have it
01:23:08.800 --> 01:23:12.790
easy to use. Um, I just think you get a
01:23:12.800 --> 01:23:16.709
a deeper gloss and a warmer gloss with a
01:23:16.719 --> 01:23:18.709
wax than you do with a a coating. What
01:23:18.719 --> 01:23:20.229
do you think, Brian?
01:23:20.239 --> 01:23:23.990
>> Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, a good
01:23:24.000 --> 01:23:27.030
montan wax to me is is a favorite,
01:23:27.040 --> 01:23:30.149
especially on a single stage classic
01:23:30.159 --> 01:23:31.590
antique car. Yeah.
01:23:31.600 --> 01:23:35.430
>> Uh, and I use polymer sealants and waxes
01:23:35.440 --> 01:23:37.270
more than I do coatings at at this
01:23:37.280 --> 01:23:38.390
point.
01:23:38.400 --> 01:23:41.030
>> Okay. All right.
01:23:41.040 --> 01:23:42.870
Awesome. Yeah, dude. I I'm telling you,
01:23:42.880 --> 01:23:45.270
I love I love I love working with the
01:23:45.280 --> 01:23:49.910
Wag I did I did my stepson's um
01:23:49.920 --> 01:23:53.189
Mercedes and uh we did the gloss meter
01:23:53.199 --> 01:23:55.110
and it was like it started out it's like
01:23:55.120 --> 01:23:57.350
an 86 and I have the proof on my phone.
01:23:57.360 --> 01:24:00.950
Started out as an 86 and then I did uh I
01:24:00.960 --> 01:24:04.149
I did a fab polish on the whole car
01:24:04.159 --> 01:24:08.790
using um um a polishing pad. Not really,
01:24:08.800 --> 01:24:10.390
not super aggressive, but it was a
01:24:10.400 --> 01:24:13.110
polishing pad. And then uh and then I
01:24:13.120 --> 01:24:16.310
went over Buff and Shine makes a it's
01:24:16.320 --> 01:24:19.910
called the uh ultimate finishing pad. I
01:24:19.920 --> 01:24:21.350
think it's what it's called. It's either
01:24:21.360 --> 01:24:23.590
final finishing pad or ultimate
01:24:23.600 --> 01:24:25.830
finishing pad, but it's a red pad. And
01:24:25.840 --> 01:24:29.990
it is goofy soft. And I used that with
01:24:30.000 --> 01:24:33.430
glossom wax. And we got a a gloss meter
01:24:33.440 --> 01:24:36.550
reading when I was all done at 102.
01:24:36.560 --> 01:24:39.110
>> Yeah. similar to the CarPro gloss pads,
01:24:39.120 --> 01:24:40.790
the white ones. They are incredibly
01:24:40.800 --> 01:24:41.830
soft.
01:24:41.840 --> 01:24:43.830
>> Yeah, you can get a That's You're
01:24:43.840 --> 01:24:47.350
practically jeweling at that point.
01:24:47.360 --> 01:24:49.510
>> All right, Fred. Yeah, Fred, dude, you
01:24:49.520 --> 01:24:51.590
were one of my most watched shows, so we
01:24:51.600 --> 01:24:54.229
have to get you back on and hopefully we
01:24:54.239 --> 01:24:57.350
can do it before or maybe maybe we can
01:24:57.360 --> 01:25:00.709
do it after the birthday show um in
01:25:00.719 --> 01:25:02.390
Chicago so that you and I can talk about
01:25:02.400 --> 01:25:04.709
all the cool things that we did. That's
01:25:04.719 --> 01:25:06.790
a great idea. Uh Mr. producer, if you're
01:25:06.800 --> 01:25:09.590
still in the chat room, um, line up Fred
01:25:09.600 --> 01:25:13.110
for after September 21st. Um, we're
01:25:13.120 --> 01:25:14.390
going to have Fred on and we're going to
01:25:14.400 --> 01:25:16.790
talk pizza.
01:25:16.800 --> 01:25:18.149
All right. Sorry. Sorry. I get
01:25:18.159 --> 01:25:20.629
distracted easily. Shiny bobbles,
01:25:20.639 --> 01:25:22.470
objects.
01:25:22.480 --> 01:25:25.350
Sorry.
01:25:25.360 --> 01:25:27.110
I think it looks like we got through all
01:25:27.120 --> 01:25:29.270
the starred questions.
01:25:29.280 --> 01:25:30.950
Um, [snorts] I'm scrolling through here
01:25:30.960 --> 01:25:41.430
real fast uh for anything else.
01:25:41.440 --> 01:25:43.110
Waiting on the raspberry scent. Yeah.
01:25:43.120 --> 01:25:48.709
All right. Okay. Moving on. All right.
01:25:48.719 --> 01:25:52.390
There is plenty for everyone. There's
01:25:52.400 --> 01:25:54.870
something you said years ago that struck
01:25:54.880 --> 01:25:57.270
me. Honestly, it's one of the reasons I
01:25:57.280 --> 01:25:59.270
wanted that phrase for tonight's
01:25:59.280 --> 01:26:02.629
thumbnail. Um, where does that come
01:26:02.639 --> 01:26:08.870
from? Where is this mentality of,
01:26:08.880 --> 01:26:10.470
you know, I had a friend of mine who was
01:26:10.480 --> 01:26:14.149
a detailer who literally said, I have
01:26:14.159 --> 01:26:18.390
spent 20 years perfecting my
01:26:18.400 --> 01:26:21.189
technique. I am not sharing that with
01:26:21.199 --> 01:26:23.030
anybody.
01:26:23.040 --> 01:26:24.629
>> Well,
01:26:24.639 --> 01:26:27.830
it it's it's easy. Um, I I like to work
01:26:27.840 --> 01:26:30.229
with the well, they're supposed to be
01:26:30.239 --> 01:26:33.510
competitors in my in my field. uh in my
01:26:33.520 --> 01:26:36.229
neighborhood, in my area, and and rather
01:26:36.239 --> 01:26:37.750
than
01:26:37.760 --> 01:26:41.030
shut them out, um degrade them, bring
01:26:41.040 --> 01:26:43.590
them down, I I like to lift all of us up
01:26:43.600 --> 01:26:45.830
and we work together. Uh so that's where
01:26:45.840 --> 01:26:47.830
that that
01:26:47.840 --> 01:26:49.910
term was coined, I guess, however you
01:26:49.920 --> 01:26:52.149
want to say it because there is enough
01:26:52.159 --> 01:26:55.110
work to go around for everybody. you you
01:26:55.120 --> 01:26:57.350
don't um
01:26:57.360 --> 01:26:59.270
no matter how many pop up in the
01:26:59.280 --> 01:27:01.669
neighborhood, the the quality of your
01:27:01.679 --> 01:27:03.910
work is is what speaks volume for you.
01:27:03.920 --> 01:27:06.629
So, you know, if you're having a a
01:27:06.639 --> 01:27:10.310
problem bringing in work or volume, um
01:27:10.320 --> 01:27:11.990
that's something in your own house that
01:27:12.000 --> 01:27:13.750
you have to fix. You don't need to blame
01:27:13.760 --> 01:27:15.830
it on anybody else. So, I never blamed
01:27:15.840 --> 01:27:17.510
anybody else. I always worked with all
01:27:17.520 --> 01:27:19.270
the companies around me, all the
01:27:19.280 --> 01:27:22.790
detailers that wanted to learn. Uh, I
01:27:22.800 --> 01:27:26.310
gave polishers to young local detailers
01:27:26.320 --> 01:27:27.990
that were just starting out who now are
01:27:28.000 --> 01:27:30.470
doing great and they would be classified
01:27:30.480 --> 01:27:34.070
as strong competitors and I helped them
01:27:34.080 --> 01:27:36.870
>> Brian Mayhal like
01:27:36.880 --> 01:27:38.870
>> you I mean you turned that kid into a
01:27:38.880 --> 01:27:39.830
jug.
01:27:39.840 --> 01:27:43.750
>> He now manages uh another detailing shop
01:27:43.760 --> 01:27:45.430
as far as I know.
01:27:45.440 --> 01:27:47.910
>> Um still using Phoenix EOD.
01:27:47.920 --> 01:27:49.750
>> Yes, he does. Yes, he does. Yes, he
01:27:49.760 --> 01:27:50.790
does.
01:27:50.800 --> 01:27:53.990
you know, great kid. Great kid, great
01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:56.470
talent. Wish him the best.
01:27:56.480 --> 01:27:59.910
>> Yeah. I mean, honestly though, not to,
01:27:59.920 --> 01:28:01.270
you know, not to keep blowing smoke up
01:28:01.280 --> 01:28:03.590
your butt, but he had a pretty awesome
01:28:03.600 --> 01:28:06.470
mentor for years. So, how could he not
01:28:06.480 --> 01:28:08.390
be a great detailer? But you and your
01:28:08.400 --> 01:28:11.830
boy and and flock of seagulls.
01:28:11.840 --> 01:28:15.350
Yep. He invested in business. No offense
01:28:15.360 --> 01:28:17.270
to anybody else, but I mean,
01:28:17.280 --> 01:28:19.030
>> I can never take credit for that. I I
01:28:19.040 --> 01:28:22.709
could point and and and you know give
01:28:22.719 --> 01:28:25.990
pointers [snorts] and and um advice.
01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:28.390
It's they have to do the work. They have
01:28:28.400 --> 01:28:31.189
to do the actual work. Um and those that
01:28:31.199 --> 01:28:33.030
that have it within them, they they get
01:28:33.040 --> 01:28:35.350
it done. And I would never take credit
01:28:35.360 --> 01:28:36.629
for that.
01:28:36.639 --> 01:28:38.790
>> Take credit for what? Teaching two young
01:28:38.800 --> 01:28:40.709
men like
01:28:40.719 --> 01:28:45.270
how to be perfect in their trade.
01:28:45.280 --> 01:28:47.270
>> You You have to have it in you. I mean,
01:28:47.280 --> 01:28:48.870
there's a lot of people that you can
01:28:48.880 --> 01:28:50.790
coach until you're you're blue in the
01:28:50.800 --> 01:28:52.070
face and they're just not going to get
01:28:52.080 --> 01:28:54.629
it. They're not going to be able to
01:28:54.639 --> 01:28:56.950
>> That's true. That's true. Yeah. Focus of
01:28:56.960 --> 01:28:58.629
Eagles definitely has the high the eye
01:28:58.639 --> 01:29:00.709
of the tiger and I've seen that, you
01:29:00.719 --> 01:29:02.709
know, time and time and time and time
01:29:02.719 --> 01:29:07.189
again. Um, he definitely is hungry. Um
01:29:07.199 --> 01:29:09.590
and the last question in this particular
01:29:09.600 --> 01:29:12.629
uh segment is uh
01:29:12.639 --> 01:29:14.629
>> why does the industry seem to have a
01:29:14.639 --> 01:29:18.310
tough time believing that
01:29:18.320 --> 01:29:19.590
>> believing
01:29:19.600 --> 01:29:21.990
>> that there's enough for everyone?
01:29:22.000 --> 01:29:24.149
>> There's I can see a lot of people
01:29:24.159 --> 01:29:27.669
cutting each other down and and
01:29:27.679 --> 01:29:28.629
>> go ahead
01:29:28.639 --> 01:29:32.950
>> ego. Everybody's got an ego.
01:29:32.960 --> 01:29:35.830
Just within the last two days on my
01:29:35.840 --> 01:29:39.590
feed, social media, especially Facebook.
01:29:39.600 --> 01:29:41.669
Wow. The egos. I mean, I don't know what
01:29:41.679 --> 01:29:44.149
it is. Is it full moon? I I don't know
01:29:44.159 --> 01:29:47.669
what it is, but it's just wow. Um, full
01:29:47.679 --> 01:29:49.990
of themselves, egos, egotistical
01:29:50.000 --> 01:29:51.270
maniacs.
01:29:51.280 --> 01:29:51.590
>> Yeah,
01:29:51.600 --> 01:29:53.910
>> that's why. some some ass hat on on on
01:29:53.920 --> 01:29:58.229
on YouTube um commented in on one of
01:29:58.239 --> 01:30:00.070
Papa Smurf's videos where he was just
01:30:00.080 --> 01:30:02.070
like, "Why do you cons like you know,
01:30:02.080 --> 01:30:04.470
stop embarrassing yourself, stop acting
01:30:04.480 --> 01:30:07.910
like a an influencer?" And Smurf was
01:30:07.920 --> 01:30:09.590
just like, "Hey man, I'm just putting
01:30:09.600 --> 01:30:12.629
out content to share with people. Like,
01:30:12.639 --> 01:30:14.790
I'm just trying to share my knowledge
01:30:14.800 --> 01:30:17.270
with somebody else. Why do you got to be
01:30:17.280 --> 01:30:18.870
why do you got to be negative like that?
01:30:18.880 --> 01:30:20.470
Why do you got to come in there for no
01:30:20.480 --> 01:30:22.550
reason? like people like myself and you
01:30:22.560 --> 01:30:25.590
and just putting ourselves out there. If
01:30:25.600 --> 01:30:28.229
you don't like the content, don't watch
01:30:28.239 --> 01:30:30.550
the content. But do you have to make a a
01:30:30.560 --> 01:30:32.470
snarky little comment about, you know,
01:30:32.480 --> 01:30:34.629
quit embarrassing yourself?
01:30:34.639 --> 01:30:36.550
>> Well, I mean, as as a creator, you're
01:30:36.560 --> 01:30:38.229
going to deal with that every time you
01:30:38.239 --> 01:30:40.629
put out content or every day, uh, every
01:30:40.639 --> 01:30:42.950
time you put yourself out there, you're
01:30:42.960 --> 01:30:43.990
going to have to deal with that. You're
01:30:44.000 --> 01:30:46.310
going to have to have, you know, I don't
01:30:46.320 --> 01:30:49.510
know, thick skin, whatever the word is.
01:30:49.520 --> 01:30:50.629
you're going to have to be able to deal
01:30:50.639 --> 01:30:55.110
with that. People um live for it really
01:30:55.120 --> 01:30:58.229
to to to bring them jealousy maybe. I
01:30:58.239 --> 01:30:59.189
don't know. I don't know what
01:30:59.199 --> 01:31:02.070
>> Well, I I mean I my old post uh my old
01:31:02.080 --> 01:31:07.270
postman um back in Jersey, he uh he'd
01:31:07.280 --> 01:31:09.750
like to enter into chat rooms and just
01:31:09.760 --> 01:31:13.270
say horrible things to get people wound
01:31:13.280 --> 01:31:15.110
up like, you know, like Hitler wasn't
01:31:15.120 --> 01:31:17.830
wrong or Hitler was Hitler wasn't wrong.
01:31:17.840 --> 01:31:19.750
prove me wrong. You know, that kind of
01:31:19.760 --> 01:31:23.270
just absurdity just saying horrible
01:31:23.280 --> 01:31:27.189
things to just and and he he physic he
01:31:27.199 --> 01:31:29.350
physically enjoyed
01:31:29.360 --> 01:31:31.910
getting people wound up and riled up and
01:31:31.920 --> 01:31:34.390
you know and you know how dare you say
01:31:34.400 --> 01:31:41.669
something like that.
01:31:41.679 --> 01:31:44.790
I'm in a better place. I'm I'm at peace.
01:31:44.800 --> 01:31:49.430
I I I I am I am loving life like I've
01:31:49.440 --> 01:31:53.430
never thought I could love life. So
01:31:53.440 --> 01:31:55.110
ain't got time for that.
01:31:55.120 --> 01:31:56.229
>> Nope.
01:31:56.239 --> 01:31:58.070
>> Nope. Life is too short for that. That
01:31:58.080 --> 01:32:01.750
that's I just skip right over it.
01:32:01.760 --> 01:32:04.629
>> All right. So although that you were
01:32:04.639 --> 01:32:09.510
encouraging me for years,
01:32:09.520 --> 01:32:11.030
um
01:32:11.040 --> 01:32:14.070
you knew me before Phoenix existed, when
01:32:14.080 --> 01:32:17.350
I told you what I was doing, what did
01:32:17.360 --> 01:32:22.470
you actually think? Horseman number one
01:32:22.480 --> 01:32:24.629
>> when you when you uh
01:32:24.639 --> 01:32:27.430
>> when I came to you and I said, "Hey, it
01:32:27.440 --> 01:32:29.430
was in I think it was in March. It might
01:32:29.440 --> 01:32:31.910
have been April. It was either March or
01:32:31.920 --> 01:32:36.229
April of of 2021. I said to you, "Hey,
01:32:36.239 --> 01:32:40.149
if I actually do this,
01:32:40.159 --> 01:32:42.790
>> what do you think?"
01:32:42.800 --> 01:32:47.669
>> It's about freaking time.
01:32:47.679 --> 01:32:49.189
>> That's what I was thinking.
01:32:49.199 --> 01:32:50.070
>> Yeah.
01:32:50.080 --> 01:32:52.390
>> The hell's taking you so long?
01:32:52.400 --> 01:32:54.310
>> Um,
01:32:54.320 --> 01:32:57.910
what did you think that I got right
01:32:57.920 --> 01:32:59.910
out of the gate? We're going back five
01:32:59.920 --> 01:33:02.470
years.
01:33:02.480 --> 01:33:04.790
Well, you knew exactly how to to to
01:33:04.800 --> 01:33:07.910
tackle it. I mean, doing it for somebody
01:33:07.920 --> 01:33:12.310
else, uh, and then transforming it,
01:33:12.320 --> 01:33:15.910
doing it for yourself. Um, you knew you
01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:19.030
knew how to get things you knew how to
01:33:19.040 --> 01:33:20.870
get the ball rolling and get your
01:33:20.880 --> 01:33:23.669
company up and running a lot better uh
01:33:23.679 --> 01:33:26.390
than I did when it comes to chemicals.
01:33:26.400 --> 01:33:28.709
That was a whole new chapter for me and
01:33:28.719 --> 01:33:31.830
I had to learn that on the fly. You had
01:33:31.840 --> 01:33:34.550
start and I I just knew you would uh do
01:33:34.560 --> 01:33:35.350
fantastic
01:33:35.360 --> 01:33:36.790
>> and I love the fact that we were able to
01:33:36.800 --> 01:33:39.350
collaborate. We we collaborated on a lot
01:33:39.360 --> 01:33:42.149
of your chemicals and then you helped me
01:33:42.159 --> 01:33:46.229
with a lot of my chemicals. Um that was
01:33:46.239 --> 01:33:49.350
it was wild that um again this this
01:33:49.360 --> 01:33:50.790
whole mentality of there's plenty for
01:33:50.800 --> 01:33:54.390
everyone and and taking it one step
01:33:54.400 --> 01:33:57.590
further to your comment about ego.
01:33:57.600 --> 01:33:59.430
Neither one of us had egos with each
01:33:59.440 --> 01:34:01.750
other. Like I really truly felt that we
01:34:01.760 --> 01:34:07.430
were friends helping each other just be
01:34:07.440 --> 01:34:10.629
the best that we could possibly be. Um,
01:34:10.639 --> 01:34:13.270
and you know, selfishly I could say I
01:34:13.280 --> 01:34:14.870
think that you know, you carried a lot
01:34:14.880 --> 01:34:16.790
more of the weight than I did because uh
01:34:16.800 --> 01:34:23.590
you had that team years of of um
01:34:23.600 --> 01:34:25.590
established integrity with with the
01:34:25.600 --> 01:34:27.669
audience. And so when you came out in
01:34:27.679 --> 01:34:33.189
support of me um
01:34:33.199 --> 01:34:36.629
it gave me immediate
01:34:36.639 --> 01:34:38.790
what is not the word isn't validation.
01:34:38.800 --> 01:34:41.430
It gave me immediate credibility. Your
01:34:41.440 --> 01:34:44.870
your endorsement gave Phoenix immediate
01:34:44.880 --> 01:34:46.470
credibility.
01:34:46.480 --> 01:34:48.310
>> Well, we really didn't have time to
01:34:48.320 --> 01:34:50.950
think uh of each other as competitors
01:34:50.960 --> 01:34:53.750
really, even if
01:34:53.760 --> 01:34:55.910
we weren't friends because we were both
01:34:55.920 --> 01:34:58.550
learning on the fly and having a damn
01:34:58.560 --> 01:35:01.030
good time doing it. and we had to
01:35:01.040 --> 01:35:05.350
concentrate on that rather than
01:35:05.360 --> 01:35:07.430
intermediate things like being jealous
01:35:07.440 --> 01:35:09.030
or whatever.
01:35:09.040 --> 01:35:09.990
>> Yeah.
01:35:10.480 --> 01:35:12.470
>> Now, if if you know, if we're being
01:35:12.480 --> 01:35:14.070
completely bluntly honest with each
01:35:14.080 --> 01:35:15.270
other, I think you should have slapped
01:35:15.280 --> 01:35:16.629
me in the head and said, "Buy a food
01:35:16.639 --> 01:35:19.750
truck because [laughter]
01:35:19.760 --> 01:35:23.110
>> this has been insane. H this chemical
01:35:23.120 --> 01:35:26.790
company is just madness. Supply chain."
01:35:26.800 --> 01:35:28.709
First of all, who starts a business
01:35:28.719 --> 01:35:31.350
right out of COVID, right? So, I mean,
01:35:31.360 --> 01:35:33.430
we're talking, you know, we're talking
01:35:33.440 --> 01:35:38.229
July of 2021, we're starting a company.
01:35:38.239 --> 01:35:40.709
Supply chains are different. The Amazon
01:35:40.719 --> 01:35:44.070
business model is completely wrecked.
01:35:44.080 --> 01:35:47.189
There was shipping. I couldn't get Yeah.
01:35:47.199 --> 01:35:49.430
Remember all of those ships that were
01:35:49.440 --> 01:35:51.590
that were off the coast of California
01:35:51.600 --> 01:35:54.070
and Florida that didn't have a port? So
01:35:54.080 --> 01:35:57.430
you couldn't get anything like Oh, shut
01:35:57.440 --> 01:35:58.149
up while you're ahead,
01:35:58.159 --> 01:35:58.629
>> Eric.
01:35:58.639 --> 01:36:00.390
>> And then when they finally got to port,
01:36:00.400 --> 01:36:02.709
we had to wait for the the trucking to
01:36:02.719 --> 01:36:03.990
get it.
01:36:04.000 --> 01:36:06.390
>> Mhm. Yeah. Yeah.
01:36:06.400 --> 01:36:09.270
>> Across the country. Crazy.
01:36:09.280 --> 01:36:14.149
>> Um
01:36:14.159 --> 01:36:21.270
I don't like any of these props.
01:36:21.280 --> 01:36:23.430
I don't like props. We miss you guys.
01:36:23.440 --> 01:36:25.270
Hope all is well. Thanks, dude. I
01:36:25.280 --> 01:36:27.350
haven't talked to Buddha in a million
01:36:27.360 --> 01:36:30.950
years. Good to see you guy.
01:36:30.960 --> 01:36:32.070
You know, there's a couple of people
01:36:32.080 --> 01:36:34.229
that used to be here in the in the chat
01:36:34.239 --> 01:36:36.149
rooms that we don't see anymore and it
01:36:36.159 --> 01:36:40.709
makes me sad. And um like uh Silverado,
01:36:40.719 --> 01:36:43.990
I haven't seen him in in in decades. And
01:36:44.000 --> 01:36:47.350
then uh there's uh Hawaii Tim. I haven't
01:36:47.360 --> 01:36:49.590
seen him. I haven't seen, you know, I I
01:36:49.600 --> 01:36:51.750
don't think I've seen uh Titan Tim since
01:36:51.760 --> 01:36:54.229
he got married. So, that tells you
01:36:54.239 --> 01:36:56.310
something. His priorities have
01:36:56.320 --> 01:36:59.270
definitely shifted.
01:36:59.280 --> 01:37:01.990
Uh which it should. It should. He's he's
01:37:02.000 --> 01:37:03.830
he's a newly married man, so it should
01:37:03.840 --> 01:37:04.629
shift.
01:37:04.639 --> 01:37:07.830
>> And also, you know, you touched upon all
01:37:07.840 --> 01:37:09.750
the different content creators out there
01:37:09.760 --> 01:37:11.669
now. there are different perspectives
01:37:11.679 --> 01:37:13.910
for individuals to jump to and and and
01:37:13.920 --> 01:37:16.709
see through which is completely
01:37:16.719 --> 01:37:20.390
uh I would recommend that you know
01:37:20.400 --> 01:37:22.310
soak up as much information about
01:37:22.320 --> 01:37:24.629
whatever you're into and then make a
01:37:24.639 --> 01:37:27.270
decision on it. So that's you know that
01:37:27.280 --> 01:37:29.350
that goes their attention goes way
01:37:29.360 --> 01:37:32.709
beyond us at that point. So
01:37:32.719 --> 01:37:33.510
no problem at all.
01:37:33.520 --> 01:37:35.750
>> Great detailing with AK that's
01:37:35.760 --> 01:37:39.270
fantastic. I'm glad. Um,
01:37:39.280 --> 01:37:41.430
it crushed a lot of businesses. It
01:37:41.440 --> 01:37:43.750
crushed a lot of families. It crushed a
01:37:43.760 --> 01:37:47.189
lot of people. And, you know, after the
01:37:47.199 --> 01:37:51.750
whole Fouchy files got released,
01:37:51.760 --> 01:37:53.189
I mean, we don't try to get political
01:37:53.199 --> 01:37:59.030
here on the corner, but
01:37:59.040 --> 01:38:01.430
we're talking about And you know what?
01:38:01.440 --> 01:38:02.629
Here's my other I'm going to I'm just
01:38:02.639 --> 01:38:03.510
going to say I don't even care. I'm
01:38:03.520 --> 01:38:05.910
going to say it.
01:38:05.920 --> 01:38:06.310
fine.
01:38:06.320 --> 01:38:08.149
>> He got pardoned in the United States,
01:38:08.159 --> 01:38:11.270
but what he did was global.
01:38:11.280 --> 01:38:14.870
And so, put him on the world stage and
01:38:14.880 --> 01:38:16.550
see if he doesn't go, you know what I
01:38:16.560 --> 01:38:18.629
mean? Like
01:38:18.639 --> 01:38:21.430
the Nazis at Nerburgg. Let's do that
01:38:21.440 --> 01:38:24.709
because this guy killed millions and
01:38:24.719 --> 01:38:27.270
millions of people. When you think about
01:38:27.280 --> 01:38:29.270
it, he he killed more people than
01:38:29.280 --> 01:38:31.669
Hitler.
01:38:31.679 --> 01:38:35.109
Wrap your head around that, kids.
01:38:35.119 --> 01:38:36.629
Wrap your head around that. He killed
01:38:36.639 --> 01:38:38.070
more people than Hitler. Gain of
01:38:38.080 --> 01:38:40.470
function research out of the Wuhan
01:38:40.480 --> 01:38:43.590
Clinic.
01:38:43.600 --> 01:38:49.109
All right, moving on. [clears throat]
01:38:49.119 --> 01:38:50.950
>> Um,
01:38:50.960 --> 01:38:53.350
hey, they want to know, uh, do you still
01:38:53.360 --> 01:38:55.350
enjoy giving classes and are you going
01:38:55.360 --> 01:38:57.430
to continue carrying them?
01:38:57.440 --> 01:39:01.510
>> Well, actually, I do coach a it's it's a
01:39:01.520 --> 01:39:03.430
huge part of what I do now. I'm into a
01:39:03.440 --> 01:39:07.990
lot of different things. Um but um
01:39:08.000 --> 01:39:11.990
coaching uh detailers from their own
01:39:12.000 --> 01:39:14.470
companies, dealerships, you name it. Uh
01:39:14.480 --> 01:39:16.390
I still do that a lot. I just don't
01:39:16.400 --> 01:39:19.109
>> I have some really great friends that I
01:39:19.119 --> 01:39:21.590
am still friends with. Like you Dr.
01:39:21.600 --> 01:39:24.070
Fred, for example, I met Dr. Fred at
01:39:24.080 --> 01:39:26.470
your class. I've been to seven of your
01:39:26.480 --> 01:39:29.430
classes. I've learned every single time
01:39:29.440 --> 01:39:31.830
I have learned from going to your
01:39:31.840 --> 01:39:33.510
classes and I've done it seven times.
01:39:33.520 --> 01:39:35.990
So, uh not only have I met lifelong
01:39:36.000 --> 01:39:37.990
friends at your classes, but I have
01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:39.830
lifelong knowledge because of your
01:39:39.840 --> 01:39:41.669
classes. So,
01:39:41.679 --> 01:39:44.149
>> the only difference is instead of uh you
01:39:44.159 --> 01:39:46.790
know having 10 to 20 people at my shop
01:39:46.800 --> 01:39:51.030
uh consulting, I travel. So, I I I do it
01:39:51.040 --> 01:39:52.070
at their location.
01:39:52.080 --> 01:39:53.430
>> Oh, that's true. Yeah, I remember you.
01:39:53.440 --> 01:39:56.070
Yeah, you did do that travel. That's
01:39:56.080 --> 01:39:58.390
exciting. Have a local local celebrity
01:39:58.400 --> 01:40:00.229
fly all over the country to give
01:40:00.239 --> 01:40:01.669
seminars and
01:40:01.679 --> 01:40:02.790
>> Wow.
01:40:02.800 --> 01:40:05.750
>> Well, just
01:40:05.760 --> 01:40:07.750
brush it off.
01:40:07.760 --> 01:40:11.030
No big No big deal. I get it.
01:40:11.040 --> 01:40:13.030
All right. What else? What else we got?
01:40:13.040 --> 01:40:15.510
We're coming on. We We're coming on.
01:40:15.520 --> 01:40:17.510
Hey, Mr. Producer. Is Mr. Producer still
01:40:17.520 --> 01:40:18.870
in the house? I don't I don't know. He
01:40:18.880 --> 01:40:20.870
doesn't You know, after I rebuked him,
01:40:20.880 --> 01:40:22.870
he stopped talking.
01:40:22.880 --> 01:40:24.629
Um, we're supposed to give something
01:40:24.639 --> 01:40:28.950
away and I I can't remember if
01:40:28.960 --> 01:40:31.430
we are giving away a Thor I think we're
01:40:31.440 --> 01:40:34.470
giving away a a
01:40:34.480 --> 01:40:38.470
Yeah. All right. So, here's the question
01:40:38.480 --> 01:40:41.109
for a Thor sponsor. Do I have to read
01:40:41.119 --> 01:40:43.189
the Thor? Do I have to read the Thor
01:40:43.199 --> 01:40:46.070
read again for this? Because we are
01:40:46.080 --> 01:40:48.870
sponsored by Thor. Built on quality. Uh,
01:40:48.880 --> 01:40:50.390

has Brian been the feature? not
01:41:19.679 --> 01:41:20.950

that you've done a couple of cameos. Um,
01:41:23.520 --> 01:41:26.229
but how many times has Brian appeared on

That is correct. Corey, he has been on
01:42:06.239 --> 01:42:09.109

been featured guest at three of those.
01:42:19.679 --> 01:42:21.030
And as a matter of fact, he was the

first in person because you and I did it
01:42:24.080 --> 01:42:26.870
in my office sitting side by side with
01:42:26.880 --> 01:42:27.910
each other.
01:42:27.920 --> 01:42:29.109
>> That's right. Yeah,
01:42:29.119 --> 01:42:30.950
>> that was a lot of fun. That was back in
01:42:30.960 --> 01:42:32.550
the day when we were mixing chemicals in
01:42:32.560 --> 01:42:33.990
New Jersey together.
01:42:34.000 --> 01:42:35.030
>> Yep.

01:42:43.199 --> 01:42:44.550
>> no. That
01:42:44.560 --> 01:42:45.910
>> that was before a [snorts] lot of the
01:42:45.920 --> 01:42:48.870
equipment. We were using a old wooden
01:42:48.880 --> 01:42:50.149
spoon to turn it.
01:42:50.159 --> 01:42:52.870
>> Yeah, we were a drill. We were using a
01:42:52.880 --> 01:42:56.056
Milwaukee drill.
01:42:56.066 --> 01:42:57.830
[laughter]
01:42:57.840 --> 01:42:59.669
>> We had a boat motor and propeller in
01:42:59.679 --> 01:43:01.109
there. Making
01:43:01.119 --> 01:43:04.229
>> Yeah. Now, now we're all big.
01:43:04.239 --> 01:43:08.390
Uh, hey, speaking of which, um,
01:43:08.400 --> 01:43:11.776
so the plantation that I live on is
01:43:11.786 --> 01:43:14.070
[snorts] pretty incredible. Uh, I'll
01:43:14.080 --> 01:43:16.550
send you pictures. Um, but if you ever
01:43:16.560 --> 01:43:20.709
want to come out here and just I mean,

your your house is pretty awesome, too,
01:43:22.560 --> 01:43:24.709
though. You have that ginormous lake. I
01:43:24.719 --> 01:43:28.310
Your house might be better than
01:43:28.320 --> 01:43:30.550
I really like your farmhouse. I do. I
01:43:30.560 --> 01:43:33.030
like it. I like the lake. I like. All
01:43:33.040 --> 01:43:34.709
right, never mind. But if you ever want
01:43:34.719 --> 01:43:36.470
to come out and visit, you're welcome to
01:43:36.480 --> 01:43:37.430
it. But your house is
01:43:37.440 --> 01:43:41.270
>> absolutely
01:43:41.280 --> 01:43:47.750
>> as many times as he wants.
01:43:47.760 --> 01:43:50.470
So,
01:43:50.480 --> 01:43:52.790
well, you got home just in time, Corey,
01:43:52.800 --> 01:43:58.070
to clean up. So he gets a a free bird
01:43:58.080 --> 01:44:01.510
towel set up or towel bag. Bag of
01:44:01.520 --> 01:44:05.430
towels. That's bag of towels.
01:44:05.440 --> 01:44:07.030
All right. Send me an email because I
01:44:07.040 --> 01:44:09.109
will forget. Just ask everybody who's
01:44:09.119 --> 01:44:12.310
ever won anything. I can show uh how far
01:44:12.320 --> 01:44:14.709
am I from New Philadelphia, Ohio. Are
01:44:14.719 --> 01:44:19.189
you? I don't I don't know. I I'm I'm
01:44:19.199 --> 01:44:22.310
all right. So, I am 20 minutes outside
01:44:22.320 --> 01:44:24.790
of Boardman, Ohio, which is about an
01:44:24.800 --> 01:44:28.870
hour south of Cleveland, if that helps.
01:44:28.880 --> 01:44:31.430
Um, but I don't know where do
01:44:31.440 --> 01:44:37.109
Philadelphia, Ohio is. Uh,
01:44:37.119 --> 01:44:38.709
yeah, this is true. Plantation is
01:44:38.719 --> 01:44:40.790
probably not the right word, but we call
01:44:40.800 --> 01:44:43.350
it the compound because there's like
01:44:43.360 --> 01:44:45.669
five of the Burkett tribes that live
01:44:45.679 --> 01:44:48.149
around here. Burkett/maher because
01:44:48.159 --> 01:44:50.790
that's my on my maternal side is the
01:44:50.800 --> 01:44:52.950
Mahers which is where the Irishman comes
01:44:52.960 --> 01:44:57.189
from. Um so it's a compound because we
01:44:57.199 --> 01:44:58.790
have five tribes that live here and
01:44:58.800 --> 01:45:00.550
they're all armed to the teeth and they
01:45:00.560 --> 01:45:04.149
probably have more weapons than most
01:45:04.159 --> 01:45:06.709
small town militias have. So we call it
01:45:06.719 --> 01:45:09.430
the compound self-sustaining.
01:45:09.440 --> 01:45:11.510
It's pretty nice.
01:45:11.520 --> 01:45:16.470
Uh Yep. So right. Yeah. Plantation is
01:45:16.480 --> 01:45:18.870
wrong. Compound is the accurate
01:45:18.880 --> 01:45:20.470
vernacular.
01:45:20.480 --> 01:45:22.629
Philadelphia is just below Canton, Ohio,
01:45:22.639 --> 01:45:25.189
which is just below Cleveland. I do know
01:45:25.199 --> 01:45:27.430
where Canton, Ohio is. So, yeah. So, I'm
01:45:27.440 --> 01:45:29.030
pretty close to New Philadelphia. I
01:45:29.040 --> 01:45:30.950
would say I'm within an hour for sure
01:45:30.960 --> 01:45:33.910
because I'm an hour away from Cleveland.
01:45:33.920 --> 01:45:37.750
So,
01:45:37.760 --> 01:45:42.310
Oh, okay. Uh, according to uh my
01:45:42.320 --> 01:45:45.109
person, it's just over two hours to
01:45:45.119 --> 01:45:47.830
Philadelphia, Ohio. New I don't know if
01:45:47.840 --> 01:45:49.830
it's the same. Is Philadelphia, Ohio the
01:45:49.840 --> 01:45:51.750
same as New Philadelphia, Ohio? I don't
01:45:51.760 --> 01:45:55.109
know.
01:45:55.119 --> 01:45:57.510
But all I can say is that it's within
01:45:57.520 --> 01:46:00.070
earshot of
01:46:00.080 --> 01:46:03.590
Cedar Point. Say no more.
01:46:03.600 --> 01:46:06.310
Ced, are you familiar with Cedar Point?
01:46:06.320 --> 01:46:08.470
B, have you ever been to Cedar Point?
01:46:08.480 --> 01:46:11.189
It's like It's like Six Flags, but not
01:46:11.199 --> 01:46:15.830
as corporate.
01:46:15.840 --> 01:46:20.550
>> You are about six, seven hours from me.
01:46:20.560 --> 01:46:23.990
>> No, I am not. I am four hours from you.
01:46:24.000 --> 01:46:26.229
I I know this because I drive out to you
01:46:26.239 --> 01:46:28.390
once a month to do No Direction detail.
01:46:28.400 --> 01:46:30.470
You're four hours You're four hours from
01:46:30.480 --> 01:46:33.510
me uh here and you are two hours from me
01:46:33.520 --> 01:46:35.990
in New Jersey. And so when I come to do
01:46:36.000 --> 01:46:38.390
your show or our show, when I come to do
01:46:38.400 --> 01:46:41.270
our show, I stay with my buddy in New
01:46:41.280 --> 01:46:44.229
Jersey and
01:46:44.239 --> 01:46:46.149
then I come and see you and then I drive
01:46:46.159 --> 01:46:49.109
home from there. So I for
01:46:49.119 --> 01:46:52.310
um you're you're four hours from me if I
01:46:52.320 --> 01:46:53.109
want to.
01:46:53.119 --> 01:46:55.350
>> You're you're you're foot must be heavy
01:46:55.360 --> 01:46:56.550
on that pedal.
01:46:56.560 --> 01:46:57.510
>> You don't know what you're talking
01:46:57.520 --> 01:47:00.470
about. Listen, the speed limit on I 80
01:47:00.480 --> 01:47:03.109
is 70 miles an hour. So theoretically,
01:47:03.119 --> 01:47:04.629
if you don't want to get pulled over,
01:47:04.639 --> 01:47:08.149
you can go 84 miles per hour and not get
01:47:08.159 --> 01:47:11.109
pulled over because 15 miles an hour
01:47:11.119 --> 01:47:13.590
over the speed limit will get you a
01:47:13.600 --> 01:47:16.149
reckless driving,
01:47:16.159 --> 01:47:19.350
but 14 will not. And so they don't go
01:47:19.360 --> 01:47:22.310
after the 14 m hour. They go after the
01:47:22.320 --> 01:47:25.990
15 because it's more money. And if it's
01:47:26.000 --> 01:47:29.430
all about the revenue, they're going
01:47:29.440 --> 01:47:33.030
after the super speeders. So,
01:47:33.040 --> 01:47:36.149
gota find that little niche
01:47:36.159 --> 01:47:39.109
and make sure you have ways on because
01:47:39.119 --> 01:47:40.709
we're in this together, people. If you
01:47:40.719 --> 01:47:42.229
do not tell me where the police officers
01:47:42.239 --> 01:47:43.510
are, I'm going to be very angry with
01:47:43.520 --> 01:47:45.430
you.
01:47:45.440 --> 01:47:49.830
>> Anyway, back to our
01:47:49.840 --> 01:47:51.669
not monetized and it is not made for
01:47:51.679 --> 01:47:56.390
kids. So, I take care.
01:47:56.400 --> 01:47:58.550
>> All right. Uh, let's see here. We did
01:47:58.560 --> 01:48:00.629
the the Thor sponsor giveaway. Yep.
01:48:00.639 --> 01:48:02.950
Done. Check. Uh, read comments. Yeah,
01:48:02.960 --> 01:48:05.510
we've been doing that. Check. Let Brian
01:48:05.520 --> 01:48:07.590
interact directly with the chats. Check.
01:48:07.600 --> 01:48:09.669
If he didn't have his phone, he would be
01:48:09.679 --> 01:48:11.430
able to, but he's on his phone, so he
01:48:11.440 --> 01:48:13.189
can't even probably read the comments.
01:48:13.199 --> 01:48:15.590
>> It's so tiny. I can't I can't [laughter]
01:48:15.600 --> 01:48:16.950
I cannot see it.
01:48:16.960 --> 01:48:19.510
>> I don't Does this Does this
01:48:19.520 --> 01:48:21.109
>> I've been straining, but I cannot see
01:48:21.119 --> 01:48:21.350
it.
01:48:21.360 --> 01:48:23.430
>> Does this help?
01:48:23.440 --> 01:48:24.470
>> No, not at all.
01:48:24.480 --> 01:48:25.669
>> No, not at all. All right.
01:48:25.679 --> 01:48:27.990
>> It's It's smaller than a thumb tack for
01:48:28.000 --> 01:48:31.189
me.
01:48:31.199 --> 01:48:32.950
Cedar Point and Kings Island are awesome
01:48:32.960 --> 01:48:35.510
amusement parks. That is correct. Can
01:48:35.520 --> 01:48:37.350
you tell me what happened to Giaga Lake?
01:48:37.360 --> 01:48:39.990
Giaga Lake was also amazing and it's
01:48:40.000 --> 01:48:42.870
gone now. And so, uh, I was coming back
01:48:42.880 --> 01:48:44.470
from Michigan to Chicago and I got
01:48:44.480 --> 01:48:49.109
pulled over 96 and a 70. Well done, sir.
01:48:49.119 --> 01:48:52.070
And only got a verbal warning. You must
01:48:52.080 --> 01:48:54.070
be your face. You just must have a kind
01:48:54.080 --> 01:48:56.470
face.
01:48:56.480 --> 01:48:59.030
All right. Um
01:48:59.040 --> 01:49:00.070
All right. All right, we're approaching
01:49:00.080 --> 01:49:02.310
the two the two hour mark. So, Brian,
01:49:02.320 --> 01:49:05.109
the future of detailing. What what uh
01:49:05.119 --> 01:49:08.790
make Brian predict the next five years?
01:49:08.800 --> 01:49:09.830
What products are going to be
01:49:09.840 --> 01:49:11.910
disappearing? What technology becomes
01:49:11.920 --> 01:49:13.430
standard?
01:49:13.440 --> 01:49:17.109
Would you say that PPF is getting more
01:49:17.119 --> 01:49:18.950
and more popular? Because I know a lot
01:49:18.960 --> 01:49:23.109
of detailers that absolutely hated PPF 5
01:49:23.119 --> 01:49:25.189
years ago, and now people are kind of
01:49:25.199 --> 01:49:27.109
really leaning into it.
01:49:27.119 --> 01:49:29.830
>> Well, it's effective. It's effective and
01:49:29.840 --> 01:49:32.790
it it's it's more and more popular for
01:49:32.800 --> 01:49:37.590
those that want it. The expense um to
01:49:37.600 --> 01:49:40.390
own a business that includes PPF is
01:49:40.400 --> 01:49:43.030
scary to get into, especially the first
01:49:43.040 --> 01:49:45.510
few years. So,
01:49:45.520 --> 01:49:47.830
that one there is hard. It It's hard
01:49:47.840 --> 01:49:50.470
during times like this with the economy
01:49:50.480 --> 01:49:52.629
is shaky and there's a lot of questions
01:49:52.639 --> 01:49:56.950
about it. um the search for PPF uh and
01:49:56.960 --> 01:50:00.950
and that type of of service dips um
01:50:00.960 --> 01:50:04.629
rather quickly. So, it's it's hard to
01:50:04.639 --> 01:50:07.430
say. Uh we're also into sprayable PPF
01:50:07.440 --> 01:50:08.950
and that's something that's new.
01:50:08.960 --> 01:50:10.870
>> What?
01:50:10.880 --> 01:50:12.950
>> So, the the sprayable PPF, that's why
01:50:12.960 --> 01:50:14.390
we're in that that new building because
01:50:14.400 --> 01:50:15.830
it has a booth.
01:50:15.840 --> 01:50:16.390
>> Yeah.
01:50:16.400 --> 01:50:18.870
>> Out in the middle of nowhere. Uh, so
01:50:18.880 --> 01:50:21.189
sprayable PPF, you could do it clear,
01:50:21.199 --> 01:50:22.550
you could do it matte, you could do it
01:50:22.560 --> 01:50:25.590
satin. Um, and there are thousands and
01:50:25.600 --> 01:50:27.270
thousands and thousands of color
01:50:27.280 --> 01:50:30.550
combinations that you can change the uh
01:50:30.560 --> 01:50:33.030
appearance of your vehicle as well. Uh,
01:50:33.040 --> 01:50:36.870
metallic, flat paints, um, whatever
01:50:36.880 --> 01:50:39.270
color you can dream of, they can mix
01:50:39.280 --> 01:50:40.709
together.
01:50:40.719 --> 01:50:42.470
>> What? This is the first time I've ever
01:50:42.480 --> 01:50:44.229
heard about it. What What is sprayable
01:50:44.239 --> 01:50:46.709
PPF? But apparently, according to the AR
01:50:46.719 --> 01:50:49.750
Armada, it's it's all the rage. What is
01:50:49.760 --> 01:50:52.229
what what is this?
01:50:52.239 --> 01:50:55.270
>> Yeah, I I have a couple videos uh on it.
01:50:55.280 --> 01:50:58.709
Um it's it's fantastic. It is a huge
01:50:58.719 --> 01:51:00.709
it's even a bigger learning curve than
01:51:00.719 --> 01:51:04.629
than regular PPF off the roll which is
01:51:04.639 --> 01:51:07.350
als
01:51:07.360 --> 01:51:09.830
to to master and to make yourself
01:51:09.840 --> 01:51:12.550
efficient so you're not wasting money.
01:51:12.560 --> 01:51:14.950
Sprayable PPF is a learning curve for me
01:51:14.960 --> 01:51:18.709
cuz I was never a body I never worked in
01:51:18.719 --> 01:51:20.470
a body shop. I would always been jealous
01:51:20.480 --> 01:51:23.669
of those who can paint u who have a lot
01:51:23.679 --> 01:51:26.629
of experience and a lot of of years
01:51:26.639 --> 01:51:30.629
behind uh in the spray booth because I
01:51:30.639 --> 01:51:32.149
love doing it. I always have loved doing
01:51:32.159 --> 01:51:34.870
it. I just just don't know how. I just
01:51:34.880 --> 01:51:36.870
uh I'm learning. [snorts] Uh it's a
01:51:36.880 --> 01:51:39.109
craft that is so much fun and so
01:51:39.119 --> 01:51:41.990
rewarding and um my hat goes off to
01:51:42.000 --> 01:51:45.030
anybody that is in the auto body
01:51:45.040 --> 01:51:46.709
industry.
01:51:46.719 --> 01:51:48.709
>> Wow, dude. It's wild. Like so
01:51:48.719 --> 01:51:52.149
>> so sprayable PPF is can you you can
01:51:52.159 --> 01:51:54.149
layer it thinner or thicker than regular
01:51:54.159 --> 01:51:58.950
PPF. You can go 8 ms, 12 ms. It it
01:51:58.960 --> 01:52:00.870
on average you want to do four layers of
01:52:00.880 --> 01:52:03.350
the base which is the strength of of the
01:52:03.360 --> 01:52:06.070
the film and then there is a topper
01:52:06.080 --> 01:52:08.310
layer that will give you the gloss or
01:52:08.320 --> 01:52:11.510
you know uh give you uh coating
01:52:11.520 --> 01:52:13.990
characteristics give it the look. So
01:52:14.000 --> 01:52:16.709
it's six layers altogether. The
01:52:16.719 --> 01:52:18.790
preparation for it is there's a lot to
01:52:18.800 --> 01:52:20.950
do. is a lot. You have you have to have
01:52:20.960 --> 01:52:24.629
your your masking or taping game uh you
01:52:24.639 --> 01:52:28.070
know mastered to to get a great finish.
01:52:28.080 --> 01:52:33.430
>> Huh. That's wild, dude. Um
01:52:33.440 --> 01:52:35.430
that's
01:52:35.440 --> 01:52:37.830
I So you don't have to worry about
01:52:37.840 --> 01:52:40.229
cutting um and and needing to have the
01:52:40.239 --> 01:52:41.910
make and model and all that stuff. You
01:52:41.920 --> 01:52:43.589
can just do it.
01:52:43.599 --> 01:52:44.550
>> Yeah.
01:52:44.560 --> 01:52:48.390
>> Yeah. No. Uh no patterns. Just tape tape
01:52:48.400 --> 01:52:49.910
it off. Whatever you're going to do,
01:52:49.920 --> 01:52:59.990
tape it off and uh learn how to paint.
01:53:00.000 --> 01:53:00.629
>> It's a brave.
01:53:00.639 --> 01:53:02.709
>> By the way, when the customer when the
01:53:02.719 --> 01:53:04.070
customer is finished with it, tired of
01:53:04.080 --> 01:53:05.750
it, or if it gets beat up to a point
01:53:05.760 --> 01:53:07.350
where they want to have another layer,
01:53:07.360 --> 01:53:09.350
start fresh or just get rid of it, it
01:53:09.360 --> 01:53:13.430
peels off three times easier than your
01:53:13.440 --> 01:53:18.229
your regular films.
01:53:18.239 --> 01:53:20.709
Great.
01:53:20.719 --> 01:53:22.470
Wow.
01:53:22.480 --> 01:53:25.109
Wow. Crazy new world. I never I never I
01:53:25.119 --> 01:53:26.310
never would have even thought about
01:53:26.320 --> 01:53:29.430
that.
01:53:29.440 --> 01:53:32.790
Corey Firebird.
01:53:32.800 --> 01:53:34.870
All right, Brian. Rapid fire. One step
01:53:34.880 --> 01:53:36.790
or multi-step?
01:53:36.800 --> 01:53:38.629
>> One.
01:53:38.639 --> 01:53:40.470
>> Uh, rotary or DA?
01:53:40.480 --> 01:53:42.470
>> Rotary.
01:53:42.480 --> 01:53:46.629
>> Foam or rinseless?
01:53:46.639 --> 01:53:50.629
I do both. I've on my personal car, it's
01:53:50.639 --> 01:53:53.510
mostly rinseless. Uh for maintenance
01:53:53.520 --> 01:53:55.669
visits, it's going to be foam. So, it's
01:53:55.679 --> 01:53:58.390
a combination of both.
01:53:58.400 --> 01:54:01.030
>> James Diamond showed up. Nice. Glad to
01:54:01.040 --> 01:54:06.550
have you on board. Um sorry.
01:54:06.560 --> 01:54:08.310
Um
01:54:08.320 --> 01:54:12.470
ceramic or sealant? Sealant.
01:54:12.480 --> 01:54:14.709
>> Drop or mobile?
01:54:14.719 --> 01:54:16.470
Uh, you broke up there.
01:54:16.480 --> 01:54:17.669
>> Job or mobile?
01:54:17.679 --> 01:54:20.470
>> Job? I've been through both.
01:54:20.480 --> 01:54:23.189
>> Yeah, I know. As a matter of fact,
01:54:23.199 --> 01:54:24.629
that's what you were doing when when I
01:54:24.639 --> 01:54:26.070
first met you. So, that would have been
01:54:26.080 --> 01:54:29.750
like you said 2017. Uh, you would shut
01:54:29.760 --> 01:54:34.310
down your shop on Fridays and perform uh
01:54:34.320 --> 01:54:37.030
maintenance washes for the elder
01:54:37.040 --> 01:54:38.870
community across the street from your
01:54:38.880 --> 01:54:40.149
old shop.
01:54:40.159 --> 01:54:42.470
>> Yep. That was also another
01:54:42.480 --> 01:54:45.109
>> that and we did keep some customers that
01:54:45.119 --> 01:54:48.149
had vehicles that did not leave the
01:54:48.159 --> 01:54:49.830
premises like they had a pole barn full
01:54:49.840 --> 01:54:52.310
of collectibles and stuff and or they
01:54:52.320 --> 01:54:54.870
didn't have insurance uh they dropped
01:54:54.880 --> 01:54:56.709
their insurance on or whatever but these
01:54:56.719 --> 01:55:00.149
were old antiques classics collectibles
01:55:00.159 --> 01:55:02.229
uh that stayed on the previses and we
01:55:02.239 --> 01:55:05.109
went there to maintain them. Uh Brian,
01:55:05.119 --> 01:55:08.229
what's your take on OptiShield wipe on
01:55:08.239 --> 01:55:10.629
liquid PPF? Applies like a ceramic but
01:55:10.639 --> 01:55:13.589
takes four layers to reach 28 to 32
01:55:13.599 --> 01:55:16.070
microns of thickness.
01:55:16.080 --> 01:55:20.149
The wipe on version of the liquid PPF I
01:55:20.159 --> 01:55:23.030
don't have a lot of experience with. For
01:55:23.040 --> 01:55:26.229
me, it's easier to do the spraying. So,
01:55:26.239 --> 01:55:31.030
um any sprayable PPF for me would be a
01:55:31.040 --> 01:55:32.870
better option. Okay.
01:55:32.880 --> 01:55:34.149
>> If you don't want to learn how to spray,
01:55:34.159 --> 01:55:36.629
then the the wipe on, I guess, would be
01:55:36.639 --> 01:55:38.790
uh Now, the wipe on clear coats, I've
01:55:38.800 --> 01:55:40.550
had great luck with them. I I've been
01:55:40.560 --> 01:55:43.350
able to do a lot with them. They
01:55:43.360 --> 01:55:45.910
>> they really do have uh serve a per
01:55:45.920 --> 01:55:47.350
purpose and have their own space in the
01:55:47.360 --> 01:55:49.990
industry. It all does.
01:55:50.000 --> 01:55:52.870
>> Okay. Um so, you and I have spent a lot
01:55:52.880 --> 01:55:55.350
of time together, not just in in the
01:55:55.360 --> 01:55:57.109
studio hanging out, but a lot of time in
01:55:57.119 --> 01:55:59.990
in the old warehouse. You and I spent a
01:56:00.000 --> 01:56:01.270
lot of time. there would be, you know,
01:56:01.280 --> 01:56:03.430
hours and hours and hours uh of hanging
01:56:03.440 --> 01:56:06.709
out. Um, we have a a a viewer that would
01:56:06.719 --> 01:56:09.270
like to know, how tolerable is it to
01:56:09.280 --> 01:56:11.430
deal with Aaron for an extended period
01:56:11.440 --> 01:56:13.430
of time? I'm not sure I can handle a
01:56:13.440 --> 01:56:17.589
trip to Chicago with him or not, lol.
01:56:17.599 --> 01:56:20.229
>> Uh, just be prepared to laugh. It's a
01:56:20.239 --> 01:56:21.910
lot of fun. [clears throat] He he's he's
01:56:21.920 --> 01:56:23.669
a he's a great guy and he has a
01:56:23.679 --> 01:56:26.070
fantastic sense of humor.
01:56:26.080 --> 01:56:27.750
>> Okay, very good. Thank you. I appreciate
01:56:27.760 --> 01:56:33.030
that. He's suckering you in. [laughter]
01:56:33.040 --> 01:56:34.709
All right.
01:56:34.719 --> 01:56:36.390
It's like it's like asking for a
01:56:36.400 --> 01:56:38.629
business reference. Uh in New Jersey,
01:56:38.639 --> 01:56:40.229
you were not allowed to give a
01:56:40.239 --> 01:56:42.229
disparaging reference if somebody called
01:56:42.239 --> 01:56:43.750
and said, "Hey, apparently, you know,
01:56:43.760 --> 01:56:47.030
this guy Aaron used to work for you. Um
01:56:47.040 --> 01:56:48.790
blah blah blah blah blah. Would you, you
01:56:48.800 --> 01:56:50.870
know, recommend him work coming to work
01:56:50.880 --> 01:56:53.910
for us?" It's illegal in New Jersey to
01:56:53.920 --> 01:56:56.790
give a negative review. So,
01:56:56.800 --> 01:56:57.830
>> I remember that
01:56:57.840 --> 01:57:00.629
>> the loophole is
01:57:00.639 --> 01:57:03.270
>> he's a wonderful employee. I would not
01:57:03.280 --> 01:57:09.109
hire him again.
01:57:09.119 --> 01:57:10.629
>> Yeah. Thank you, Brad. I appreciate the
01:57:10.639 --> 01:57:11.990
endorsement. Yeah. Yeah. He's great. You
01:57:12.000 --> 01:57:14.771
should definitely hang out with him.
01:57:14.781 --> 01:57:17.990
[clears throat]
01:57:18.000 --> 01:57:19.430
>> I know the answer to this one already.
01:57:19.440 --> 01:57:23.830
YouTube or Facebook?
01:57:23.840 --> 01:57:28.149
>> Uh, neither. Neither really. All right.
01:57:28.159 --> 01:57:31.189
>> If we're talking about the platform
01:57:31.199 --> 01:57:34.550
by itself and those that run it,
01:57:34.560 --> 01:57:37.350
neither. Both garbage. If you're talking
01:57:37.360 --> 01:57:39.510
about the people that you can reach and
01:57:39.520 --> 01:57:42.790
connect with, uh, life-changing. So,
01:57:42.800 --> 01:57:44.950
that we're we're we're on either end of
01:57:44.960 --> 01:57:46.149
the spectrum there.
01:57:46.159 --> 01:57:48.470
>> Okay. All right.
01:57:48.480 --> 01:57:51.270
Um, what would what would you say was
01:57:51.280 --> 01:57:54.310
the worst detailing trend that ever hit
01:57:54.320 --> 01:57:57.109
the airwaves?
01:57:57.119 --> 01:58:00.070
>> Uh, detailing trend. That's Well, first
01:58:00.080 --> 01:58:03.109
thing that always comes to mind is
01:58:03.119 --> 01:58:05.589
seeing polishers uh in videos where
01:58:05.599 --> 01:58:06.950
they're stabbing at it and going back
01:58:06.960 --> 01:58:08.550
and forth 100 miles an hour and they
01:58:08.560 --> 01:58:10.470
have the damn thing on the sixth speed
01:58:10.480 --> 01:58:13.589
setting. Mow down method, whatever you
01:58:13.599 --> 01:58:16.470
want to call that. Um, but always made
01:58:16.480 --> 01:58:18.950
me always made me giggle.
01:58:18.960 --> 01:58:20.709
>> All right.
01:58:20.719 --> 01:58:22.629
All right.
01:58:22.639 --> 01:58:24.229
Um,
01:58:24.239 --> 01:58:26.229
what do you think was the most overrated
01:58:26.239 --> 01:58:29.030
product in history?
01:58:29.040 --> 01:58:30.310
>> Ceramic coatings.
01:58:30.320 --> 01:58:34.870
>> Ceramic coatings are overrated.
01:58:34.880 --> 01:58:36.629
>> Um, and then what would be the most
01:58:36.639 --> 01:58:38.709
overrated product category? Well,
01:58:38.719 --> 01:58:39.669
ceramics. He's already
01:58:39.679 --> 01:58:40.550
>> ceramic coatings.
01:58:40.560 --> 01:58:44.229
>> Yeah, ceramic coatings. Okay. Uh, most
01:58:44.239 --> 01:58:47.910
underrated skill a detailer could have.
01:58:47.920 --> 01:58:51.910
>> Underrated.
01:58:51.920 --> 01:58:55.350
>> Uh, that would be uh wet sanding or
01:58:55.360 --> 01:58:57.350
Well, that would be wet sanding. Just
01:58:57.360 --> 01:59:00.310
keeping it by itself.
01:59:00.320 --> 01:59:02.149
>> Okay.
01:59:02.159 --> 01:59:04.310
>> Wet sanding. Well, I remember watching
01:59:04.320 --> 01:59:05.830
when I, like I said, I went to detailing
01:59:05.840 --> 01:59:08.470
school. I remember watching the the the
01:59:08.480 --> 01:59:11.430
head detailer. He had a he had uh I
01:59:11.440 --> 01:59:14.790
guess they had parked a car underneath a
01:59:14.800 --> 01:59:17.669
a pine tree and it had
01:59:17.679 --> 01:59:22.709
uh sap pitting all over the car and he
01:59:22.719 --> 01:59:25.030
had to wet sand the entire thing and I
01:59:25.040 --> 01:59:27.990
remember watching his he had to keep
01:59:28.000 --> 01:59:29.830
switching hands because they they would
01:59:29.840 --> 01:59:31.750
go numb from all the vibrations of of
01:59:31.760 --> 01:59:32.950
the wet sand.
01:59:32.960 --> 01:59:35.109
>> Yeah. I just worked on a car that the
01:59:35.119 --> 01:59:37.589
the uh the sap ate through the clear
01:59:37.599 --> 01:59:40.470
coat down into the base coat and down
01:59:40.480 --> 01:59:42.149
into the metal. I mean, that stuff is
01:59:42.159 --> 01:59:45.030
nasty. Get that off right away.
01:59:45.040 --> 01:59:47.990
>> Wow. Wow. I didn't know it would go that
01:59:48.000 --> 01:59:49.270
deep. It's
01:59:49.280 --> 01:59:51.350
>> Well, anything from mother nature is a
01:59:51.360 --> 01:59:52.229
city.
01:59:52.239 --> 01:59:57.189
>> Yeah. We had a we had a a a car hit u
01:59:57.199 --> 01:59:59.990
hit a buzzard, you know, like it it hit
02:00:00.000 --> 02:00:01.109
a buzzard
02:00:01.119 --> 02:00:05.510
>> and uh the stomach acid of the buzzard
02:00:05.520 --> 02:00:08.790
burned through the radiator.
02:00:08.800 --> 02:00:10.390
That's crazy.
02:00:10.400 --> 02:00:12.870
>> Yeah,
02:00:12.880 --> 02:00:15.109
>> the timing is crazy with that. Can you
02:00:15.119 --> 02:00:16.950
imagine the timing? That reminds me, my
02:00:16.960 --> 02:00:18.550
son was driving one time and he had his
02:00:18.560 --> 02:00:21.510
window open and a screeching owl came in
02:00:21.520 --> 02:00:23.669
through the window and smacked his face.
02:00:23.679 --> 02:00:25.430
I
02:00:25.440 --> 02:00:26.550
don't know if I showed you the pictures
02:00:26.560 --> 02:00:28.550
of that. Yeah, they they hit they
02:00:28.560 --> 02:00:30.390
headbutted each other face to face. The
02:00:30.400 --> 02:00:31.910
owl was sitting in his back seat. He
02:00:31.920 --> 02:00:34.149
pulled over and it had its one eye
02:00:34.159 --> 02:00:35.750
closed for a couple minutes and then,
02:00:35.760 --> 02:00:37.270
you know, it kind of got its bell rung
02:00:37.280 --> 02:00:38.870
and then it was fine. Opened up both
02:00:38.880 --> 02:00:40.870
eyes, flew away and they were both fine.
02:00:40.880 --> 02:00:43.030
But that could have turned out pretty
02:00:43.040 --> 02:00:44.229
>> wild.
02:00:44.239 --> 02:00:48.390
>> Yeah. Um,
02:00:48.400 --> 02:00:49.270
all right. Uh, [clears throat] good
02:00:49.280 --> 02:00:52.870
question, Kev. But I need the hund.
02:00:52.880 --> 02:00:55.990
Kev, how good is Kronos Graphine? Or
02:00:56.000 --> 02:00:58.709
just do Kronos by itself? It might make
02:00:58.719 --> 02:01:03.430
my final list for my new car.
02:01:03.440 --> 02:01:05.109
Well, B, you've worked with both of
02:01:05.119 --> 02:01:06.950
them.
02:01:06.960 --> 02:01:09.669
>> Yes. Um,
02:01:09.679 --> 02:01:11.910
so I would always
02:01:11.920 --> 02:01:14.550
myself go with just the base ceramic
02:01:14.560 --> 02:01:15.430
coating.
02:01:15.440 --> 02:01:17.990
>> Right. I know how you feel about
02:01:18.000 --> 02:01:20.870
graphine. I app I appreciate that about
02:01:20.880 --> 02:01:24.310
you and you have maintained that uh the
02:01:24.320 --> 02:01:26.709
entire time that I have known you.
02:01:26.719 --> 02:01:30.390
>> Um, I do enjoy we did that no direction
02:01:30.400 --> 02:01:33.270
detail using the new graphine. Um, and
02:01:33.280 --> 02:01:36.149
the user experience
02:01:36.159 --> 02:01:39.189
you enjoyed, but we don't have any real
02:01:39.199 --> 02:01:42.950
hard data to
02:01:42.960 --> 02:01:44.709
convince you that it's the juice is
02:01:44.719 --> 02:01:46.790
worth the squeeze. And I appreciate that
02:01:46.800 --> 02:01:47.189
about
02:01:47.199 --> 02:01:51.189
>> that's the best way to put it.
02:01:51.199 --> 02:01:56.790
>> All right. Um,
02:01:56.800 --> 02:01:59.350
what is one product that you refuse to
02:01:59.360 --> 02:02:02.950
work without?
02:02:02.960 --> 02:02:04.149
without
02:02:04.159 --> 02:02:06.070
>> Yeah. Like what is in what is in your
02:02:06.080 --> 02:02:07.830
arsenal that you have to have? Like I'm
02:02:07.840 --> 02:02:09.350
not going to go I'm not going to waste
02:02:09.360 --> 02:02:11.830
my time doing a detail if I don't have
02:02:11.840 --> 02:02:13.350
blank.
02:02:13.360 --> 02:02:15.669
>> Uh well, the first thing I would say a
02:02:15.679 --> 02:02:18.149
one-step polish of of of any kind
02:02:18.159 --> 02:02:19.109
really.
02:02:19.119 --> 02:02:21.990
>> Okay. All right. One step polish. And
02:02:22.000 --> 02:02:25.030
then um
02:02:25.040 --> 02:02:27.189
is there any person in this industry
02:02:27.199 --> 02:02:30.070
that deser that deserves to have more
02:02:30.080 --> 02:02:33.189
recognition in your opinion besides
02:02:33.199 --> 02:02:35.669
besides you of course?
02:02:35.679 --> 02:02:38.709
>> Oh that's to me it's all the young
02:02:38.719 --> 02:02:40.629
individuals out there that are brave
02:02:40.639 --> 02:02:42.629
enough to start their own business and
02:02:42.639 --> 02:02:45.510
and get something going for themselves.
02:02:45.520 --> 02:02:47.669
Uh it's a it's a huge leap. It takes a
02:02:47.679 --> 02:02:51.030
lot of bravery and um especially in this
02:02:51.040 --> 02:02:52.870
day and age, starting a business could
02:02:52.880 --> 02:02:54.950
be a little bit scary, but I think they
02:02:54.960 --> 02:02:57.510
deserve more recognition than any
02:02:57.520 --> 02:02:58.550
influencer.
02:02:58.560 --> 02:03:03.589
>> If I I I have I have issues. I do. I
02:03:03.599 --> 02:03:07.030
have I have hang-ups. I have OCD issues.
02:03:07.040 --> 02:03:10.070
Um particularly if I don't know where
02:03:10.080 --> 02:03:13.510
the food is coming from or how it's
02:03:13.520 --> 02:03:16.709
coming. But I will stop at every single
02:03:16.719 --> 02:03:19.510
lemonade stand by kids and I will give
02:03:19.520 --> 02:03:21.109
them I usually give them, you know, I
02:03:21.119 --> 02:03:23.430
give them a $20 bill. I don't want your
02:03:23.440 --> 02:03:24.870
lemonade because I don't know where it's
02:03:24.880 --> 02:03:27.510
been, but I want to reward that
02:03:27.520 --> 02:03:30.310
entrepreneurial spirit as much as
02:03:30.320 --> 02:03:31.830
humanly possible. And I agree with you,
02:03:31.840 --> 02:03:36.870
Brian. Like any fool that has the guts
02:03:36.880 --> 02:03:39.350
to start a small business, I think that
02:03:39.360 --> 02:03:41.880
we we definitely should reward that. Um
02:03:41.890 --> 02:03:43.430
[clears throat] because it is
02:03:43.440 --> 02:03:44.390
>> no doubt
02:03:44.400 --> 02:03:47.109
>> it is the scariest thing in the on the
02:03:47.119 --> 02:03:55.030
planet. Um my Phoenix journey has
02:03:55.040 --> 02:03:58.310
it cost a lot
02:03:58.320 --> 02:04:00.629
you know it cost a lot physically,
02:04:00.639 --> 02:04:03.030
emotionally, mentally. Yeah. I had to
02:04:03.040 --> 02:04:05.589
sell my comic book collection of 40
02:04:05.599 --> 02:04:11.750
years, you know, to to make the rent.
02:04:11.760 --> 02:04:14.149
Uh,
02:04:14.159 --> 02:04:16.390
it's hard and that's and so many people
02:04:16.400 --> 02:04:18.629
give up because it's just too hard and
02:04:18.639 --> 02:04:20.550
I, you know, I can't keep going and I
02:04:20.560 --> 02:04:22.629
can't keep doing this. I can't do
02:04:22.639 --> 02:04:25.750
16-hour days and sleepless nights. And
02:04:25.760 --> 02:04:26.790
um
02:04:26.800 --> 02:04:29.030
>> it's always the four steps backwards
02:04:29.040 --> 02:04:30.790
when you start before you start taking
02:04:30.800 --> 02:04:33.030
that step or two forward that a lot
02:04:33.040 --> 02:04:36.870
can't get through mentally
02:04:36.880 --> 02:04:39.189
>> or even monetarily.
02:04:39.199 --> 02:04:40.310
>> Well, yeah. And that's I mean that's
02:04:40.320 --> 02:04:41.750
what it is like you burn through all of
02:04:41.760 --> 02:04:42.870
your savings. You burn through
02:04:42.880 --> 02:04:44.950
everything. And like again, you know,
02:04:44.960 --> 02:04:46.709
not to be [gasps]
02:04:46.719 --> 02:04:48.790
whatever, but this is a heavily
02:04:48.800 --> 02:04:51.030
oversaturated
02:04:51.040 --> 02:04:53.589
um market. I remember talking to Chelsea
02:04:53.599 --> 02:04:55.990
at SEMA last year. I we were talking
02:04:56.000 --> 02:05:00.870
about her um honest detail products and
02:05:00.880 --> 02:05:02.550
we had a conversation and we had a real
02:05:02.560 --> 02:05:04.070
heartto-he heart about it and I mean I
02:05:04.080 --> 02:05:07.910
love Chelsea. She's a sister. Um and I
02:05:07.920 --> 02:05:11.350
just said look around this room
02:05:11.360 --> 02:05:13.109
you're looking at at least a thousand
02:05:13.119 --> 02:05:15.030
different chemical companies and maybe
02:05:15.040 --> 02:05:16.470
they're all white labelled, maybe
02:05:16.480 --> 02:05:18.229
they're not. Maybe they're private, you
02:05:18.239 --> 02:05:19.589
know, maybe they found the secret sauce
02:05:19.599 --> 02:05:22.229
and whatnot, but
02:05:22.239 --> 02:05:23.990
There's a lot there's a lot of chemical
02:05:24.000 --> 02:05:28.229
companies out there and um
02:05:28.239 --> 02:05:29.990
you just need to have both eyes wide
02:05:30.000 --> 02:05:31.350
open if you're going to if you're going
02:05:31.360 --> 02:05:33.350
to come into this if you're going to
02:05:33.360 --> 02:05:36.470
come into this market.
02:05:36.480 --> 02:05:39.510
You got to earn it. You got to earn it.
02:05:39.520 --> 02:05:41.830
You know just
02:05:41.840 --> 02:05:42.790
a company.
02:05:42.800 --> 02:05:45.589
>> If you don't have your eyes open, they
02:05:45.599 --> 02:05:47.910
will be open for you in a short amount
02:05:47.920 --> 02:05:48.870
of time.
02:05:48.880 --> 02:05:50.550
>> Look at you, dude. Look at you right
02:05:50.560 --> 02:05:52.709
here. Brian, read this. I know you can't
02:05:52.719 --> 02:05:54.149
read it, but I'll read it for you. I
02:05:54.159 --> 02:05:56.070
remember starting my business because of
02:05:56.080 --> 02:05:57.750
Brian. Forever grateful for his
02:05:57.760 --> 02:05:59.669
mentorship, and I owe him a steak
02:05:59.679 --> 02:06:02.310
dinner.
02:06:02.320 --> 02:06:04.470
>> Um, I'm just happy reading that right
02:06:04.480 --> 02:06:08.070
there. I appreciate the offer. Steak
02:06:08.080 --> 02:06:09.669
dinner. Boy, that sounds good,
02:06:09.679 --> 02:06:10.870
>> doesn't it, though?
02:06:10.880 --> 02:06:13.910
>> But I am just I'm very happy for any
02:06:13.920 --> 02:06:15.750
success
02:06:15.760 --> 02:06:17.750
at all.
02:06:17.760 --> 02:06:19.510
>> That's what it's all about.
02:06:19.520 --> 02:06:23.430
Yeah,
02:06:23.440 --> 02:06:25.270
getting deep on the corner. All right.
02:06:25.280 --> 02:06:28.709
Um,
02:06:28.719 --> 02:06:31.350
I'm not asking that question.
02:06:31.360 --> 02:06:33.669
I'm not answering asking that question.
02:06:33.679 --> 02:06:35.510
It's It's a loaded question. All right.
02:06:35.520 --> 02:06:39.189
Um,
02:06:39.199 --> 02:06:40.629
those are the other two questions that
02:06:40.639 --> 02:06:42.149
are starred. They've been as they've
02:06:42.159 --> 02:06:43.430
been asked and they've been answered.
02:06:43.440 --> 02:06:46.149
So, all right. Um,
02:06:46.159 --> 02:06:49.510
I guess this is it.
02:06:49.520 --> 02:06:51.109
crossed the two-hour mark, which I
02:06:51.119 --> 02:06:53.189
appreciate. Uh, we've known each other
02:06:53.199 --> 02:06:55.990
for over a decade, Brian. Forget Apex,
02:06:56.000 --> 02:06:58.790
forget detailing, forget business. What
02:06:58.800 --> 02:07:01.189
has the last 10 years taught Brian
02:07:01.199 --> 02:07:04.629
Spitler about life and that the Brian I
02:07:04.639 --> 02:07:09.669
met in 2015 didn't understand yet?
02:07:09.679 --> 02:07:11.830
>> Well, that's going to be that's going to
02:07:11.840 --> 02:07:14.069
be something in motion in until I take
02:07:14.079 --> 02:07:18.149
my my last breath. So, in that 10 years,
02:07:18.159 --> 02:07:21.910
uh it's going to be going deeper into uh
02:07:21.920 --> 02:07:24.470
business ventures, uh I've been through
02:07:24.480 --> 02:07:26.310
quite a few now. And and some of those
02:07:26.320 --> 02:07:30.229
ventures have been so different. Um
02:07:30.239 --> 02:07:32.629
having having a good friend and uh
02:07:32.639 --> 02:07:35.270
someone I can bounce my ideas off of,
02:07:35.280 --> 02:07:37.350
this guy right here. I'm not sure what
02:07:37.360 --> 02:07:39.990
side of the screen you are for everybody
02:07:40.000 --> 02:07:43.270
else, but uh that's that's I'll tell you
02:07:43.280 --> 02:07:46.229
that's something I really appreciate.
02:07:46.239 --> 02:07:49.669
>> Yeah, I I I will say the same uh about
02:07:49.679 --> 02:07:53.990
about you. Like um
02:07:54.000 --> 02:07:56.149
it's weird, Brian. I don't I don't know
02:07:56.159 --> 02:07:58.229
if I ever would have had the courage to
02:07:58.239 --> 02:08:01.109
to do this without you.
02:08:01.119 --> 02:08:02.390
>> Sure you would have.
02:08:02.400 --> 02:08:05.109
>> No, I don't think I would have. I don't
02:08:05.119 --> 02:08:06.950
think I would have had the courage to to
02:08:06.960 --> 02:08:08.550
>> just needed a good swift kick in the ass
02:08:08.560 --> 02:08:09.830
to get you going.
02:08:09.840 --> 02:08:11.589
>> I mean, there was a there was a series
02:08:11.599 --> 02:08:13.270
of events. All right. So, first and
02:08:13.280 --> 02:08:17.830
foremost, you planted the seed
02:08:17.840 --> 02:08:21.189
early and then I went fishing with with
02:08:21.199 --> 02:08:24.229
Art Morrison, uh, who revealed who he
02:08:24.239 --> 02:08:26.950
was to me and was just like, "Hey, are
02:08:26.960 --> 02:08:28.229
you coming to SEMA this year?" This
02:08:28.239 --> 02:08:30.470
would have been 2019. Are you coming to
02:08:30.480 --> 02:08:32.149
SEMA? And I was like, "No, I'm down to
02:08:32.159 --> 02:08:34.310
SEMA. I've had it I've had enough of
02:08:34.320 --> 02:08:37.030
SEMA. And uh he was like, "Well, if you
02:08:37.040 --> 02:08:38.950
come to SEMA,
02:08:38.960 --> 02:08:40.870
I'll introduce you to some people, you
02:08:40.880 --> 02:08:41.990
know." And then he introduced me to
02:08:42.000 --> 02:08:43.510
Motor Trend and he introduced me to all
02:08:43.520 --> 02:08:44.790
this that other thing and so on and so
02:08:44.800 --> 02:08:48.229
forth. And then 2019 and then 2020
02:08:48.239 --> 02:08:50.870
happened again going back to the whole
02:08:50.880 --> 02:08:56.709
COVID thing. 2020 happened and then
02:08:56.719 --> 02:08:59.430
my, you know, I built that team. Those
02:08:59.440 --> 02:09:01.830
guys were like Joe is one of my best
02:09:01.840 --> 02:09:04.870
friends and he was the ops manager and
02:09:04.880 --> 02:09:07.910
and and Huda who's is is right there.
02:09:07.920 --> 02:09:09.910
He's he's one of my ride or dies and
02:09:09.920 --> 02:09:11.510
Karazino
02:09:11.520 --> 02:09:14.390
hand selected Karazino to take over uh
02:09:14.400 --> 02:09:16.790
sales manager because he had that he had
02:09:16.800 --> 02:09:19.109
that charisma. He just had the ability
02:09:19.119 --> 02:09:21.990
to talk to people. So I had built this
02:09:22.000 --> 02:09:24.149
team
02:09:24.159 --> 02:09:27.189
and they all quit
02:09:27.199 --> 02:09:30.550
and it was you that kept saying
02:09:30.560 --> 02:09:36.870
do it yourself and do it.
02:09:36.880 --> 02:09:39.589
Good to see you. So anyway, I again, if

it wasn't from you just continuously
02:09:42.480 --> 02:09:44.149
pitching me the idea of doing it
02:09:44.159 --> 02:09:45.669
yourself,
02:09:45.679 --> 02:09:49.669
um, at least 2018, if not sooner than
02:09:49.679 --> 02:09:53.030
that, I I wouldn't have even entertained
02:09:53.040 --> 02:09:55.270
the idea. I I would have, as a matter of
02:09:55.280 --> 02:09:56.950
fact, I remember talking to Ray, the old
02:09:56.960 --> 02:09:58.950
sales man, the the old ops manager
02:09:58.960 --> 02:10:01.910
before he quit. Um,
02:10:01.920 --> 02:10:04.790

02:10:39.599 --> 02:10:41.669
scared.
02:10:41.679 --> 02:10:43.910
I remember talking to Ray about it. I
02:10:43.920 --> 02:10:46.470
don't know what I'm going to do. And
02:10:46.480 --> 02:10:48.310
