Whether you have a puppy that's just a few weeks older, a

0:02

senior who's seen multiple decades, any dog person

0:04

like me knows the most valuable thing in the world is

0:06

spending more time with your pet. Farmer's dog

0:08

makes it easy to keep them healthy, which can give

0:10

you more quality years with them. The farmer's

0:12

dog makes and delivers fresh 30 dog

0:14

food It's recommended by vets, nutritionally 30,

0:17

and made from human grade ingredients in safe

0:19

clean kitchens. It's the best option for

0:21

dogs at all stages of life. It's not

0:23

kibble. It's not kangaroo. It's just real food.

0:25

Traditional dry and wet dog food options are extremely

0:27

processed and they can use much lower quality ingredients

0:30

than they claim to. They're also extremely difficult

0:32

portion accurately. Farmers dog isn't

0:34

just higher quality food. They also send the food

0:36

30 portion 30 for your dog based on

0:38

your unique nutritional needs. Makes it

0:40

easy to help your dog reach and stay at their ideal

0:42

weight, which is one of the biggest indicators of

0:44

a long 30 life. A healthy diet

0:46

just isn't important for humans. My

0:49

dog Daisy has been eating the farmer's dog for weeks

0:51

now and she loves her farmer's dog food.

0:53

My favorite part is a breath doesn't stink so

0:55

dang bad 30 right after eating.

0:58

Doesn't matter if your dog is young or old, it's always the

2:11

Alright. Today's

2:12

guest, is a business owner turned YouTube

2:14

creator. If you've ever bought wheels and

2:16

tires for your car, you've probably

2:18

helped them afford the thirty million dollars in

2:20

cars sitting behind us right now. That he gladly

2:23

hands the keys over to pretty much anyone

2:25

to experience and

2:26

drive. Welcome on the podcast 30 Hamilton.

2:28

Thank you, gentlemen. It's awesome to be here

2:30

at at my headquarters.

2:32

Yeah. I was like, thanks for letting us Thanks

2:33

for letting us tear apart your shop and your couch set

2:36

up and all that. My

2:36

pleasure, young

2:37

man. Yeah. This is sweet dude.

2:38

It's cute.

2:39

Quite the setup here. What did you call this? The Carcondo?

2:42

Yeah. We call the Carcondo or THC HQ,

2:44

the Hamilton Collection Headquarters. That's that's usually

2:46

what we call in the

2:47

text. Yeah, dude. This is sick. And thank you.

2:49

This is new. You guys just moved from your house?

2:51

Yeah. Everything was stored in my house. Prior to that,

2:53

we had a much smaller unit 30. So small

2:55

unit only fit seven cars, and then I

2:57

built my house to accommodate like fifteen

2:59

cars. And then it got the collection got to like

3:02

twenty five, twenty eight cars. So we needed this

3:04

pretty quickly.

3:05

Steve, I don't know if you even know this, but we've

3:07

been working with custom offsets. I

3:09

know you're an

3:09

owner of for, like, I'd say, four years

3:11

now. I think it was, like, twenty eighteen. Yeah.

3:13

When we first had we brought our truck to

3:15

a banker, and he built it for us down there.

3:18

So, I mean, our viewers are

3:20

super familiar with custom offsets. Fitment

3:23

industry. So we thought it'd be really cool to show

3:25

the man behind the business. Sure. And

3:27

you 30 becoming a little bit more public

3:29

with your YouTube

3:30

channel, the Hamilton Collection. But before

3:32

that, it was nothing. Like,

3:34

you were you were just, like, you were just businessman

3:37

and you left all the content creation to

3:39

the custom offset guys and you were kinda just behind

3:41

the curtains. Right? Yeah. Exactly. Totally

3:43

behind the scenes. And then, technically, I

3:45

kinda stepped away from day to day 30,

3:47

and then I got bored immediately. So

3:49

part of that's why 30 started the Hamilton

3:51

Collection little over a year and a half ago, and so

3:53

the channel has done really well in just a year and a half

3:55

and took a lot of what I learned from custom offsets

3:57

fitment and all the other 30. Added

4:00

my own clever spin, my personality. We

4:02

have a great awesome team behind us with Natalia,

4:04

Tommy Aiden. And then Lauren, who does some editing.

4:07

So just a combination of us

4:09

all makes for a really fun

4:10

time. What's kinda cool because a lot of

4:12

people become

4:14

YouTubers to buy cars and to

4:16

kinda do stuff, but you've almost done it in reverse

4:18

where you had the business, you had seen

4:20

success, and then you started

4:22

YouTubeing. Yeah. Yeah. It is it's kinda strange.

4:24

And the awesome thing about that is Because

4:26

I I still have the businesses and they're still generating

4:29

income, I can I

4:31

don't have to worry about this being an income stream

4:33

to be honest with you? So And that's that's a huge

4:35

part of the reason why we we give everything back.

4:37

And so every every profit and and

4:39

then some 30 give back. There's

4:42

no money that gets paid out. I mean, technically,

4:44

all the money gets paid to me 30 then my wife and I go

4:46

donate it. So but, yeah, that's that's what it's all about

4:48

sharing the Kaiser community and then giving

4:50

back everything that we earn to to

4:52

make sure that people are taken care

4:54

of, I guess. So it it didn't start this

4:56

way though. You didn't have all these cars growing up.

4:58

You got very humble you come from very humble

5:00

beginnings. Sure. I think to

5:03

tell your story, we gotta just start at the very

5:05

beginning. Yeah. So the audience really just

5:07

knows the come up story. So

5:10

how did you get into the wheel and tire

5:12

industry? I guess backing

5:14

up, giving a little more background like I had

5:16

to work for everything that I had. I was just joking

5:18

with my brother yesterday we were at this little pop

5:21

popcorn shop downtown Wheaton that that

5:23

sells like 30 candy. It still actually

5:25

does have penny candy even with inflation

5:27

and 30. They have penny fifty year olds. And

5:29

remember being twelve years old and lying on the application

5:32

that I was fourteen to be able to get a job there.

5:34

It just showed that, like, I look at the age of

5:36

my middle son, and he's twelve. And I'm like, god, I was

5:38

I was that young, understanding that

5:41

you needed to have money to be able to get things

5:43

because there was no money at home. Like, there was

5:45

there was nothing. Like, I had to go there

5:48

would be field trips, and I would have to

5:50

show up without five dollars with

5:52

the permission slip, but no money. And the teacher would

5:54

be like, oh, well, we'll make it happen

5:56

somehow. And I don't know if they still charge for field trips

5:58

at school, but I didn't get to do, like, there's a big

6:01

springfield trip. There's a big Washington 30 trip. Like,

6:03

forget about all that stuff. You really

6:05

learned the value of a dollar 30, and

6:07

so I was extremely driven, tried

6:09

to get that job at twelve. They must have

6:11

ran ran a Social Security check, and that that

6:13

didn't happen. Started working at

6:15

age 30. There's some weird law in Illinois that

6:17

allows you to be like a catty at a golf club.

6:19

And you you don't even have to have you're not

6:22

on payroll like you can receive cash and there's some just

6:24

odd caveat where that was okay.

6:26

Fourteen, fifteen worked at McDonald's, sixteen

6:29

and nine for the most part worked at Jewel, which is a

6:31

local grocery store. And so, like, always had

6:33

that drive, always had that entrepreneurial spirit. There were some

6:35

other things that I started kind of in between with radio installation,

6:38

with bike repair. And

6:41

just kind of used that drive to

6:43

realize that there was a need for

6:45

wheels and tires. So this was like two thousand 30. I

6:47

was in my second year of community college.

6:49

And I just was looking for

6:51

wheels online and

6:54

realized that a 30 being successful

6:56

at it and 30, like, I could probably go do

6:58

this myself. So I found a way to

7:00

to get direct with the manufacturer, took a little bit

7:02

of finesse and I was able

7:04

to discover what the actual buying price

7:06

of these wheels that I was looking at. I was looking

7:08

at what they were selling on 30. And this was, like,

7:10

almost before drop shipping was a thing. So

7:13

30 is about timing. Right? So right now, it's

7:15

freaking impossible to get into drop shipping 30 though

7:18

YouTube will confuse people into thinking that

7:20

everybody can be a drop shipper. It's it's like hard and

7:22

so much harder now. To be successful because you're

7:24

going up against guys like me that have been doing this for

7:26

twenty years that get the best price that stock that

7:28

can ship faster. But

7:31

Yeah. I mean, I just started on eBay, drop shipping,

7:33

selling wheels out of my mom's apartment in the first didn't

7:35

have to have any money to start it. In the first week, I was

7:37

receiving money from customers going and buying the product.

7:40

Shipping it and then keeping the leftover

7:42

money. It was pretty sweet.

7:43

How'd you finesse them into into

7:46

believing that you were like a wholesaler or a

7:48

dealer? I I called up and I

7:50

said I was just around I'm just like, what's my price

7:52

on these Eagle O seven sevens? They're like, well,

7:54

are you a shop? 30, the guy I talked to, his

7:56

name was Paul and 30 he talks. He said, hey, 30.

7:58

They can use shit. That's just so funny.

8:02

30 time I later on, every time I'd call and

8:04

check on a 30, It would always be food 30.

8:06

I'm like, Paul, we've been doing this for two years, bro.

8:08

He's not doing that food dasher joke.

8:11

Anyway, that story for another day. But

8:14

The second time I called because they wouldn't

8:16

give me the pricing first, I'm like, hey, this is Steve

8:18

from Wheaton Firestone. Could you give me

8:20

price on that Eagle seventy seven? And

8:23

like, without hesitation, they're like, yeah, it's eighty nine

8:25

bucks a wheel. I'm like, well, that was

8:27

pretty easy to go get that price. And

8:29

while there's money to be made, I need to go over

8:32

there and get set up as soon as possible. And I

8:34

just had this little business card for radio installation that

8:36

was doing. It was totally not a registered LLC

8:38

or anything. I mean, I was nineteen years old at the time.

8:40

Just doing it on the side. And they've

8:42

signed me up on just a business card, like, nobody

8:45

else would do that. I just happen to be

8:47

at the right place, at the right time. But

8:49

after, like, a week or so, they immediately needed

8:51

proof that I was a business because I'd already bought, like, five

8:54

or six sets. They're, like, this guy's not gonna float under

8:56

the radar. So Yeah. And

8:58

then and then I but I had the money and I had that, like,

9:00

at that point, I'm like, this works. I'm gonna figure

9:02

out how to go get myself 30, and

9:04

I was able to do

9:05

that. So Nice. Wow.

9:06

So were you, like, passionate about wheels or you

9:08

just saw money to be made and you were, like, I'm gonna

9:11

just go all in on that because I can make

9:13

the most money. I think it's both. I

9:15

I liked wheels. I I had these wheels already

9:17

actually on my car, and I was what I was looking

9:20

for was them in eighteen inch. That's where the idea

9:22

of birth. So it didn't come to me when I first

9:24

bought wheels from them, which I happen to have bought from that

9:26

Firestone, by the way. It was when I wanted

9:28

to upgrade. So I was very into customizing

9:31

my 30. And, like, there

9:33

there's a joke about CD players where

9:35

30, like, earth there or and

9:37

I've been with my wife since I was she was fifteen,

9:39

I was sixteen. So she'd buy me CD player for

9:42

my car and I always have 30 three months I'd have a

9:44

different piece of crap. And the

9:46

joke was I'd I'd put the CD player and install

9:48

it and then sell the car. And like she'd have to get me

9:50

a new CD player. And so

9:52

always customizing with that, I'd I've done

9:55

engine swaps myself, even the

9:57

stupid staff where you're just throwing stickers

9:59

and making your car look special. But, like,

10:01

all always end the wheels and automotive customization.

10:03

What kind of cars were you young with Back then?

10:05

My first car ever was an eighty four z twenty eight that

10:07

I have when I was fourteen. I bought it from a fellow

10:09

McDonald's employee, drove it to school at age 30,

10:12

one time. Drag race in the 30,

10:15

and I could never get the title. See, I didn't

10:17

know what I was doing at the time, didn't have great

10:19

mentors as parents So,

10:22

yeah, I had to had to part that vehicle out.

10:25

My first vehicle after that was the

10:27

day I got my license. I went and bought or, like,

10:29

right around the day, I got my license. I bought a seventy

10:31

9F2 fifty for, like, five hundred bucks.

10:34

And it was a really special car to

10:36

me. I tried finding it again just because it was my first, but

10:38

it was an absolute piece of prep. And

10:40

I've probably had, I don't know,

10:42

maybe fifteen cars from

10:44

that until I started my business that were all,

10:46

you know, sub two thousand dollar hunks

10:49

of crap. Just flipping them and it

10:51

wasn't intentional. I just got bored of them. Like, I I don't

10:53

think I even made money on most of them. I think I lost

10:55

money on the vast majority of

10:56

them. It was more -- Right. -- like yeah.

10:58

It's cool. You ran

11:00

a lot of money on everything he touches. It's funny

11:02

because my brother, Joel, who's also an owner at all

11:04

the companies, like, I never understood

11:06

it. Like, he he wasn't trying either, but he

11:08

would always make money. Like, no matter what he bought, I'd be

11:10

like, how how did you go make a thousand bucks? And I think

11:12

it was patience. I think that was the difference where I'd

11:14

be like, I'm sick of that car. Like, I'm just gonna

11:16

throw it out, offer it at a cheap deal, hope I get

11:18

some cash, go buy another car. But, like, that's

11:20

when the addiction truly started to cars.

11:23

I didn't have 30 cars at the

11:25

time, but I had fifteen cars over like a three

11:27

year period. So So you've always been a car guy.

11:29

Always. Absolutely.

11:30

Yeah. Some people just have it when making

11:33

30, like, flipping and wheeling and dealing like that

11:35

and some people just

11:36

don't.

11:36

Yeah. I'm one of the people who don't. I think

11:38

you're right. I think it's patience. Like, I've impulse

11:41

bought my last two 30. Nice. I

11:43

mean, which is fun, but it's it definitely

11:45

is not good for the the trade and

11:47

value on

11:47

that. Yeah. They borrow on the wallet. I mean,

11:50

half of what you see behind you were impulse buys,

11:52

but they were, like, three day,

11:54

well thought, well shopped using

11:56

my, like, network of people that find off market

11:58

cars. So, like, at this point, when you buy

12:00

this many cars, you connect with a lot of 30. A lot

12:03

of people know off market cars, and and that kind

12:05

of becomes the thing when it's super hyper. And then you

12:07

can eventually like that pagani Roadster that I

12:09

just bought it a really good deal where I know

12:11

that I could sell that within a month and probably

12:13

make, you know, three, five hundred thousand dollars.

12:15

And so that's same with the LaFerrari that I got.

12:18

I will be I will be patient

12:20

if I need to be, but I'll be impulsive

12:22

if a deal comes around right away. I'd I'd

12:24

waited, I don't know, nine months and I kept saying I

12:26

I need to get a lot for all three million dollars. Like,

12:28

I have to get it at three million. They're all going for 30.

12:31

And then I got a phone call from someone

12:33

and he's like, it has an oil leak, but it's

12:35

gonna get fixed. But I can do it

12:38

at three million. And I'm like, what color is like black? I'm

12:40

like, well, that's a rare color. I have

12:42

no problem waiting a month for something to get fixed on

12:44

someone else's dime. Hell yeah. I'll take

12:46

that. Like, I've I've got a half million dollars of instant

12:48

30. And it's funny about like the car flipping thing because

12:51

as you become a business owner, you just realize

12:53

so many opportunities out there that people can take advantage

12:55

of. Like, I I look at Tommy

12:58

was just talking about buying what's it called, Tommy?

13:01

No. The one online, the Vanderbilt. Right?

13:04

All right. All right. So he's

13:06

looking at buying a Vanderbilt. And I'm like

13:08

I'm like and and he does some motorcycle flipping

13:10

and he he looks locally and he does a good job

13:12

actually flipping it takes some time. But I'm like,

13:14

you know, you can run like, scrapes to to

13:16

do nationwide searches and then have it, like,

13:19

hit you if it's below a certain price.

13:21

Go look at it, buy it, or establish a network

13:23

of people around that. Go look and help you. And, like, you

13:25

could you could really flip anything and

13:28

and make money if you're good enough at

13:29

it. And it's just fascinating 30

13:32

in the super and hypercar market. Where

13:34

there's lot of allocations that I could

13:36

offer to me that even just

13:38

a a commitment for spot in the car that's coming

13:41

out in two years I could get and then flip for

13:43

a I've been

13:43

offered a million bucks plus my deposit

13:45

that I already put down on a future allocation that

13:47

I have. It just nuts. Wow. Obviously,

13:50

in order to get these cars, you need

13:52

to have your network like you talk about. Yeah. What's

13:54

like the buying process look like for that? You you

13:56

have to have straight cash or can

13:58

you can finance for sure, but

14:01

it it depends. So let's call it kinda

14:03

three different categories. There's the super car.

14:06

Typically, you're gonna wanna put down, you know, call it,

14:08

twenty five plus percent, and you can finance.

14:10

I buy the vast, if not

14:12

all of my now, the vast majority of my supercars

14:14

I just pay cash especially now because

14:16

the interest rates are little bit higher. Right? So

14:18

it's less attractive to go take a two hundred thousand

14:20

dollar loan. Mhmm. Hypercars are little hard

14:22

to move forward. Obviously, we're talking two plus million

14:24

dollars And so I

14:27

own a few of them. I finance a few of them.

14:30

I got a lot of them on notes that were,

14:32

you know, sub four percent back in the

14:34

day when it was a lot cheaper.

14:36

And so, like, I'll put down a half million dollars

14:38

or I think I put down, you know, over a million on

14:40

my p

14:41

one, on my son and I put down I think, a

14:43

half a million. And you do

14:45

need to put down a amount when

14:46

you've done that. That's one of my questions.

14:47

Yeah. Yeah. Like, you can't you you really like, if it's

14:49

a million plus, you can't you can't put

14:52

down, like, two hundred let let's say, thirty to

14:54

forty percent and you're probably

14:55

okay. So

14:57

30 someone can't go fake that they're

14:59

-- Right. --

14:59

you can you can fake to an extent, but

15:02

not at that level. Yeah. I 30, yeah,

15:04

that's what she said.

15:05

So

15:08

I counted in my safe. I think I

15:10

had about twenty titles. And we've

15:12

got just shy of thirty vehicles. So I'm I'm

15:14

financing, what, eight or nine 30, but

15:17

if I can finance at, you know, four percent

15:19

average, and I can go invest that money at eight or nine percent,

15:22

like, I almost should finance the entire fleet

15:24

at that point if I can go reinvest that money.

15:26

But I I'm gonna point in my life where I

15:29

just really wanna simplify things and

15:32

not have to go work. I mean, two years

15:34

ago, I owned like I don't know,

15:36

seventy different units, apartment buildings,

15:39

many, many businesses, LLCs, and it's

15:41

I've I've skilled it down to thirty percent of what it

15:43

and I'm trying to get it down just my core

15:46

wheel and tire businesses. Why? Just because

15:48

simplifying things, just because it's easier. I

15:50

mean, I think I think I look

15:52

at how many things I was juggling and it's like,

15:54

gosh. Like, that's it's just crazy

15:56

to think that that someone

15:59

can mentally handle that much. And

16:01

I've gotten to point where where think the

16:03

net worth is is just high enough. Like, I've and I've worked

16:05

extremely hard my entire life for it. So part

16:07

of it's just burnout and

16:10

part of it's just like, you know, my kids

16:12

are my oldest is a teenager now

16:14

and, like, I just really wanna simplify life. Now, given

16:16

them a lot of time. I think I've done a great job, like,

16:19

making sure that all we have plenty of family

16:21

time 30 more than your average nine to

16:23

five job even because

16:25

I find time. I can do a lot of what I do remotely.

16:27

I can go vacation, but sneak work in all

16:29

throughout the day. But I still

16:32

just don't wanna have that stress, you

16:34

know, 30 with the wheel businesses

16:35

alone, there's enough equity there where I don't

16:37

need all of this other stuff. I don't need those other legs

16:39

to stand on, I guess. Just doing a bunch

16:42

of things instead of just doing a couple

16:44

things really

16:44

well. You find that? Like, you're spraying yourself just

16:47

too thin? Yeah. I mean, we're focusing on,

16:49

like It's not 30 business. It's not even that I was

16:51

spreading myself too thin. Like, I managed it all.

16:53

It's just when you think that if

16:55

if something goes it like goes whack

16:57

with one of the businesses, which two thousand

17:00

twenty two is a very big struggle for the

17:02

30 the wheel industry in general. I

17:05

think it's it's when you you realize that something

17:07

requires your significant focus that it's

17:09

very dangerous to have yourself stretched like

17:11

that. Now, I wouldn't say I was stressed too thin because

17:13

I had 30, like, a smart person

17:16

that that owns businesses and runs them as not

17:18

in the trenches of every single business because then

17:20

you'll never get anything done. So I have great people

17:22

running my pet supplies plus stores. I have great people

17:25

running 30. I had

17:27

the property manager and someone taking care of it, but

17:29

like, but if crap hits the fans or if that person

17:31

30, and while I'm managing

17:34

the wheel business, like, that's that's dangerous

17:36

thing if I to jump into managing sixty

17:38

tenants while working seventy eighty hours.

17:40

So it's it's just thinking about what could

17:42

happen. In three to five years,

17:44

I I wanna have I wanna be tied to nothing.

17:46

Like, it's it's more about, like,

17:49

what has leverage on you. Right? So I

17:51

wanna be completely able

17:53

to detach myself from

17:54

30. Do whatever want during

17:56

the day and it just doesn't like it doesn't matter.

17:59

Right? Mhmm. What all do you own?

18:01

The wheel entities and automotive entities are custom

18:03

offsets, fitment industries, m a formats out by

18:05

you guys, and we acquired them.

18:08

SD 30, mister wheel deal, trail

18:10

built, Arcon Anthem, 30, God

18:13

help me if I'm forgetting another business.

18:15

I know I am for one or two under that umbrella.

18:18

And then I own the seven Pet Supply Plus

18:20

stores working to sell those two. And I'm

18:22

selling them at a discount. So I've had a really long

18:24

line of people interested, and I anticipate

18:26

those to be gone within about forty five days. They're under

18:28

contract as well. Again, those are

18:31

managed actually flawlessly. I've I've had to work, spend

18:33

a half hour of my time every month on those stores and they're

18:35

still being

18:35

30. Well, you know, you you talk when you're

18:37

younger, you like, yes, I just need to work. How

18:39

do you take working to

18:42

make money on yourself? And then apply

18:44

that to a business, to have the business making money?

18:46

Like, how did you go from Alright. If I work

18:48

fifty hours this week, I can afford the thing

18:50

I want to creating a system

18:52

behind. Like, this is something that we

18:54

all would love to

18:55

do, but it it's hard without mentors and stuff

18:57

like that. Yeah. It and and I didn't

18:59

like 30 that that reaches out

19:01

to us now that they're seeking mentorship. I never

19:03

did that because I didn't know. You

19:06

don't know what you don't know at the end of the day. And so

19:08

back then, it would just be figuring stuff

19:10

out on my own. Like, a lot of it was just figuring

19:12

it out. And and

19:14

I was just really driven. And and I was doing

19:16

a lot of twelve dollar an hour labor. When

19:18

I started, I was wearing every possible hat, when I

19:20

started the 30, what was called Steve's discount

19:23

wheels. That was the first of all of the

19:24

30. Hope I didn't forget SD 30 in that

19:26

whole mix because

19:28

I think you said it.

19:28

That's what SD 30 stands for. Steve's discount.

19:30

Yeah. It's no way.

19:32

Yeah. So so I think it was your middle

19:34

name. Yeah. Yeah. Nineteen year old Steve thought

19:36

it'd be a great corporate name. Real catch you

19:38

once Steve's discount wheels. And

19:40

when I walk when I walked into the Always

19:42

run-in sales. Yeah. Yeah. Right. And when I

19:44

walked into the 30, that card

19:47

for the radio installation was Steve's discount radio

19:49

installation, like, the worst possible

19:51

don't know. Just not a not a

19:54

great, like, business day.

19:55

Cheaper than the rest. Yeah. Yeah.

19:57

Just a weird, like, I don't know. It's weird

19:59

to include your name and then discount. And then,

20:01

I mean, a lot of people use the name and it works successfully

20:04

30 Jimmy John's, but it's it's more fun to

20:06

just make up words. Like Arcon.

20:08

Arcon offer. 30 story

20:10

about Arcon. That's one of our wheel brands and then whatever

20:12

I see the city, Arcon, I always

20:15

fucking call it Arjun. It

20:17

used to be the opposite where everyone got confused

20:19

and would say Akron when they read it now, like in my

20:21

brain, everything is Arcon. But

20:24

like answering your question, it's just I

20:26

just met people along the way. Like, you meet

20:28

good people along the way. You ask them

20:30

questions. don't even realized that what I was doing

20:32

was seeking mentorship. But, like, David

20:34

was a great example in o eight where he was he worked

20:36

in the corporate world and he 30 the one that had started mister

20:39

30 with us. He worked in the corporate world and he

20:41

knew spreadsheets. And so I'd leaned on him for

20:43

some advice on how to how to do spreadsheets.

20:45

And then, you know, at some point, pretty

20:48

quickly after he showed me he was like, you need to go,

20:50

like, look this up. Like, just just Google it. Like and

20:52

and he was a good nudge to help me just go

20:54

figure it out on my own versus asking him to do

20:56

formulas for 30. And that was huge because

20:59

I learned very rapidly how to use a spreadsheet

21:01

effectively, and that's one of the most important things I think

21:03

that skill that you need to have

21:05

when you're going into any corp position is the

21:07

ability to work really well in Google 30

21:10

or Microsoft Excel that a lot of people don't

21:12

realize. So I'm even teaching my thirteen year old son

21:14

how to, like, catalog his Hot Wheels in there conditional

21:16

formatting, running formulas. But

21:19

just yeah. That's that's just kind of its

21:22

Just taking a piece from everybody.

21:24

That's when she said,

21:25

damn. No. That's gonna Got a couple of those in already

21:27

today. That's also what she

21:29

said. There

21:33

will be an endless stream of

21:34

that. Yes. Hey, guys. Quick breaking

24:06

we switch over to cars a little bit.

24:08

So we got we came to Chicago and we thought

24:10

it was snowy here because when 30 kind of

24:12

forget that it's not winter --

24:13

Yeah. -- until, like, May. You know, we're

24:15

hoping to bust our cars out in, like, April,

24:18

and most people around us would think we are

24:20

insane -- Yeah. -- for

24:21

that. So is what's car culture

24:23

like down here?

24:24

I take my car. Is that all year long? 30, the

24:26

last winter? I would say this last winter

24:28

less than usual, but usually I'm I have like a super

24:31

high per car in my garage, and I'm I'm rocking it 30,

24:33

four times a week. But, yeah, it's definitely

24:35

it's definitely dead until about

24:37

May. May, April, there'll be some nice days, and

24:40

we'll try to piece something together. But Did you

24:42

grow

24:42

up in Chicago then? Or Okay.

24:44

So what what makes you stay? Just

24:47

You

24:47

could live 30, obviously. That's a really good

24:49

question. I I don't even think it's fall. Like, I

24:51

love fall so much that end of August

24:54

to early September is, like,

24:56

I can sit down on my my patio. I

24:59

can watch football

25:01

and just relax. Like, it's

25:03

the only I don't know. That that's the the

25:05

most beautiful best time of 30, and I think that's

25:07

literally why I'm here. Season's change is always

25:10

the best 30 even for

25:11

us, but then it's like after December, you're

25:13

like, alright. Get

25:14

Yeah. Like, that's would say

25:16

November third or fourth. I'm like, oh, it's too

25:18

cold. Yeah. Yeah. I should disappear

25:20

and come back in April or May. They salt

25:22

the roads here? Then Oh, yeah. So And

25:24

you still you're ripping your cars? Yeah. I mean, you

25:26

just wash

25:27

them. I mean,

25:27

most of these are, like, carbon 30. Right?

25:30

They're not gonna rust. So, I mean,

25:32

like, almost all of these are

25:35

carbon. And if they're not, we have a car

25:37

wash like I can see it from your bright and auto

25:39

detail is. Yeah. Three hundred feet. So

25:41

as soon as they get here, we'll just drop them off there and

25:43

they get washed right away. Do people ever give you

25:45

a little bit of, like, like, the purest

25:47

30, like, give you 30 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

25:51

We get plenty of we

25:52

I mean, about ripping them and or just driving them

25:54

in the winter. Yeah. So there's there's

25:56

a page, a Facebook page that is over hundred thousand

25:58

followers out here and, like, I'm at one

26:00

point, I was the only guy getting spotted in there.

26:03

I'm, like, I'm not even trying to get just wanna

26:05

go have fun in a car you almost feel bad because

26:07

you're like, gosh, I'm gonna get spot and people are gonna hate

26:09

just because it's the only it's the only,

26:11

like, super hyper car being driven out in this

26:13

weather, but I try not to let that affect 30.

26:15

We get plenty of hate. I mean,

26:17

I hate the

26:18

30, so I give that lots

26:20

of hate.

26:21

Why do you hate the GTR? I got a

26:23

GTR. You

26:25

should take that one back with you. I'll

26:27

take it. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I just really

26:29

don't like it. I think there's there's a lot

26:31

of pent up anger for

26:34

for the the length of time that it took to

26:36

build, which I've never actually

26:38

30 two thousand horsepower, isn't it? Yes. It's

26:40

always It'd be my it smoked to my 30.

26:42

Like, in the there's a drag race

26:44

Full on race

26:44

car. I mean, it'll it looked like it was gonna

26:47

just, like, launch

26:47

into the sky. I

26:50

30, most of it's just, like, people

26:53

just saying,

26:53

like, yeah. Like, what is he why why would you and I'm,

26:55

like, it's not meant to be. To me, when I

26:57

see you doing that, I'm, like, wow. That is so

26:59

cool. Like Sure. -- that is like, you

27:01

know, that's coolest thing.

27:02

That's like the ultraflex. Yeah. Exactly. It's

27:04

one thing to have the cars, but when you actually rip

27:06

them and drive them and then 30, like,

27:08

you don't know how you try I

27:10

I don't like, it's amazing that you're able to just give

27:13

the keys out to it which seemingly

27:15

seems like

27:15

30. I'm sure it's not. Well, that's one,

27:17

but that's changing a little bit. Oh, is it?

27:19

Well, it

27:20

has to because my son,

27:22

I got wrecked by nobody here. No no part

27:24

of the crew that's here. The son,

27:26

I got wrecked. So that that I heard about

27:28

that. One little thing is making my life very challenging

27:31

because I I wanna continue to share my cars,

27:33

but my insurance company who might who

27:35

might praise so much 30 financials decided

27:38

to not renew my

27:39

insurance. So

27:39

Oh, oh, they did. They're not going to

27:41

renew my insurance. So For the whole 30.

27:44

The whole entire fleet. So I have to figure that out.

27:46

problem was I was already trying to figure it out because I was told

27:48

that it's probably gonna happen. But I felt like

27:50

I got strung along for a few months because, like, it didn't

27:52

happen. Like, the accident happened in in November,

27:55

and it's, like, early February. And I'm

27:57

like, okay. Well, they haven't 30 good.

27:59

And did they give you the

28:00

money? Yeah. And then as soon as I get the money, I

28:02

got a letter and I got a call two days later.

28:04

So it's like that. That was for the people back

28:06

home how much was the senate? The senate

28:08

was about a million. Now by the time that

28:10

by the time that it was wrecked, it was worth, like, 11213.

28:14

And then the insurance company, I guess, legally

28:16

or they just decide to also pay you tax because

28:18

if you go buy a new vehicle, there's tax registration.

28:21

So I got a check for about one point four million

28:23

dollars. If I could go back and do it all again,

28:25

I I just wouldn't have had that person drive the senate.

28:27

Yeah. And I would I would just rather have my car

28:29

have insurance. Yeah.

28:31

Apparently, the it's that big of a claim,

28:33

it goes to a national underwriter level.

28:36

Like, there's one guy, I guess, with 30, and

28:38

this is just what what I heard from them. As

28:40

a national guy. He lives in Texas.

28:42

His son, like, I guess 30 brought up the name. His

28:44

son was an avid follower of the channel

28:46

and like so. 30 immediately somehow

28:49

there is a connection made and immediately, like,

28:52

they got the the adjuster went on

28:53

YouTube, and he's like, oh my god. I was like, I

28:55

saw this the sixteen year olds

28:57

driving them to to prom or to

28:59

Yeah. I just don't So I kinda don't I

29:01

kinda don't blame them. 30

29:03

deal with the same thing

29:04

too. Yeah. They

29:04

go and watch the 30. It's like, you can't keep

29:06

by with anything. Yeah. So I need to figure

29:08

that out. Now if you have

29:10

do you ever more cars in Illinois, you can self insure.

29:12

So that's gonna be an option. I've also went and quoted

29:15

with haggardating a lot of other people and they just rejected

29:17

like they saw that senate claim 30 hit.

29:19

I I may not be able to insure these vehicles. I

29:21

probably can insure them all liability, which means

29:23

that they're not covered in an accident, but the person

29:25

that gets hit but then they might have excluded

29:28

drivers even then. So I I'm

29:30

insured until mid April. They also mailed

29:32

me letter that no one else other than

29:34

the myself and my wife can drive them.

29:36

That hasn't stopped like 30 the

29:38

cars are insured and someone can go drive

29:40

them, I'm just responsible. We've still

29:42

been driving them but not quite as 30. So I I

29:44

need to figure that out so that I can continue to

29:46

share cars with friends family and get people out there

29:48

driving them. Well, I think it's really cool what you

29:50

do because there's a lot. I would say 30

29:52

an older generation car collectors have

29:55

these giant garages full of cars

29:57

and they never get driven. They sell these cars

29:59

like two miles, pushed around, you know,

30:01

all that stuff. So I think it's really cool that

30:03

you've made a mission to share these

30:05

cars, which are truly extraordinary with

30:07

people who appreciate them. Yeah. I do

30:09

I do my best. I mean, it it's it's like I

30:11

I couldn't touch these or drive these I was young.

30:13

So in 30, we

30:16

become we all become numb to them. Like, it's like,

30:18

oh, we gotta take the GT3RS today, man.

30:20

I wanted to take, like, you know, the

30:22

the p one or said, like, it's weird how numb

30:24

you become to to owning them and how normalized

30:26

it is. But, like, someone will come in here for the

30:28

first time and see A765LT

30:30

or the Porsche nine

30:31

eighteen. 30, like, they get to sit in

30:33

it. And, like, they'll remember that three years

30:35

later. Mhmm. They'll remember that

30:37

On a twenty two. 30 important. Like,

30:39

I've gotten letters mailed to my house, which

30:41

is a little weird, but it's also fine. And

30:44

just how

30:44

much, like, that changed their life. And

30:46

how they witness this car. So

30:48

it's it just knowing that just

30:51

continues to make me wanna do it. So speaking

30:53

about, I guess, like, you you

30:55

drive them. You obviously don't drive them nearly

30:58

as hard as whistling 30. No.

31:00

But I'm sure, obviously, you saw his new

31:03

video with 30 you think

31:05

he's gonna get

31:06

sued by Ferrari? Like I texted

31:09

him when it when it got pulled down. I'm,

31:11

like, did, like, Ferrari give you prom? Because

31:13

I've never had proms and, like, mines mat

31:15

wrapped. If I didn't exhaust

31:17

on it, I would never tell you guys. Mhmm. And

31:20

we heavily modified my eighty eight GTB

31:23

that is now gone. I sold it. I've

31:25

never had problems with those, but I've heard that that

31:27

they're notorious for going after people. I

31:29

don't think I know anybody personally that they've gone after,

31:31

but, like, I thought that that was why it got pulled on.

31:34

He's like, no. No. He's like, I think that

31:36

he's like they demonetized it. Yeah. And

31:38

I think that there is something that was

31:40

in the video that he went and changed, and

31:42

then he put it back up. But I'm like, well, you should still

31:45

send it even if it's not demonetized. He's like

31:47

he's like, I'm not putting that up, but I'm not

31:48

kidding, babe. I'm

31:49

like, okay.

31:50

No. He's got a lot of money in that video. 30 like, I appreciate.

31:52

They got yeah. For 30. And I and I appreciate him all

31:54

the better. And he is like, if you guys met him, Yeah.

31:57

He's in my think he's such a good

31:59

dude. Like, he he was so much

32:01

more respectful than than, like, he

32:03

he asked about everything. He was

32:04

like, can I throw this bean bag at at your a big 30?

32:07

like

32:08

Alright. What an odd question? 30

32:11

what about the egg? When he threw the egg. Yeah.

32:13

Yeah. 30 did that like a block from 30. And

32:15

he asked about it. And I'm like, alright.

32:17

Like, we we we did some testing ahead

32:20

of time to make sure it wasn't gonna scuff and scratch. And

32:22

it had it had a

32:23

30, and then Stradman wrapped it

32:25

for us. So it had panels wrapped. So I'm like,

32:28

that's actually pretty convenient timing for

32:30

him. Yep. So

32:32

So we were we were alright with it and, like but

32:34

when he did donuts, he asked about doing donuts

32:36

in it,

32:37

like, that was the scariest price.

32:38

Right. Right. So that I could have. Yeah.

32:40

30 was so close. So you were

32:42

nervous. I was wondering,

32:43

30, because you don't seem like you ever get nervous.

32:45

Most like, I didn't. And then,

32:47

like, That happened. That was like the first.

32:50

And then when Alex Choi drove me

32:52

in that Porsche right there, that was the scariest

32:54

time. He's

32:54

a crazy driver. He's a good driver,

32:57

30. But, like, dude was going, like, he ran emails

32:59

an hour down, like, curvy roads like this.

33:01

I'm, like, if there's one patch of want

33:03

like, I'm,

33:04

like, I could die in a woman here.

33:06

Had a

33:06

good life. I don't don't need the for

33:08

this YouTube video.

33:10

So Ferrari will

33:10

send you a cease and desist if you put Who

33:13

knows? Exhaust on? I know

33:15

about ramps. I've

33:15

heard about that or modifying the

33:17

emblem. It's all potential hearsay.

33:20

So

33:20

Really,

33:20

I don't I don't know. But I I probably

33:23

can't. I I definitely can't speak for Whistlin,

33:25

but this is maybe just what it seems

33:27

like to me. I feel like he maybe wants them to send

33:29

them a cease and

33:30

desist. Maybe I would 30, like, he would

33:32

go off and Well, it'd 30, like, story

33:34

like Yeah. It would be, like, the perfect.

33:36

Yes. He's exactly what he wanted to

33:38

happen.

33:38

And then he'd have three more videos about him.

33:41

Exactly. Exactly.

33:42

I don't know if I'd wanna go to court against

33:44

Ferrari though. That's

33:46

true. That might be What's the

33:47

worst case scenario? May you give back your 30.

33:49

And he said he's gonna be worth it. But

33:52

And there's even some crazy content like there there's

33:54

a 30, and I'm not gonna go into it too detailed,

33:56

but there's like a video that we have that can be

33:58

an an amazing performing video

34:00

right now that we've already filmed and and in like,

34:03

there's risk there. Like, we were in the right and

34:05

and to some extent, we

34:08

were threatened with false information, like,

34:11

if we continued posting or if

34:13

we said

34:13

something, So, like, this video will be

34:15

an amazing all reservoir. I I

34:16

can't say who it

34:17

is, but -- Oh my god. -- like, there are some

34:19

really suspicious things said.

34:22

Like, I I actually filmed this video to protect

34:24

myself. Like, if this stuff was

34:26

if this fake stuff was to go public -- Really?

34:28

-- like, I have a video ready to launch 30. Or

34:32

yeah. Who knows. But it's it's just

34:34

crazy. I don't

34:35

know. That one's that one's

34:37

interesting. Dude, isn't it wild that

34:40

you start this, like, billion

34:42

dollar 30, and now you're dealing with,

34:44

like, some 30 and shit, like, the

34:46

things that we deal with day to day. It's

34:50

And I and I think I enjoy I enjoy

34:52

both of them 30, like, getting back

34:54

in the trenches of custom offsets fitment

34:56

and all the companies, like, it's really fun.

34:58

Like, I started out doing really high

35:00

level stuff, like looking at wages as a percentage

35:02

and working with the team to fix that And

35:04

now it's like I'm negotiating with suppliers.

35:07

I'm I'm working on a slow moving inventory problem.

35:09

I'm working in the warehouse for a day. Like, I love

35:11

that stuff. I love working closely with

35:15

with every team member, not just my 30. I

35:17

I'm finding it a lot more fulfilling what I'm doing,

35:19

but the YouTube videos some

35:22

some of it's work. Like, some of it I don't look forward

35:24

to. Like, some of it's like a year ago. Like,

35:26

we just shot a vlog on a new car that I have coming

35:28

in and, like, I I love getting the new car, but

35:30

knowing that I have to commit two hours to, like, creating

35:33

a vlog running. Like, you gotta think what you're gonna

35:35

say

35:35

and, you

35:35

know, you wanna it's not even that. Like, I

35:37

can come up it's just knowing that I have

35:39

to like, I don't want

35:41

to. Like, I don't wanna go suited to our I'm

35:43

sure there's twenty. Why yeah. Why 30,

35:45

because you wanna give back. I

35:47

guess, but Well, you need to create content. Like,

35:49

we need to keep creating content and growing the

35:51

channel. Like

35:52

Why why do you want to? Yeah. Like, I to

35:54

me, I look at you. I'm like, this you you've

35:56

won it. Life. You got you got your 30.

35:59

You got an awesome

36:00

job. You got your I mean, everything you

36:02

could possibly want, I would imagine. I

36:04

think it's because it affords me so other

36:07

opportune like, for every one

36:09

video that's that's work and then I'm not looking forward

36:11

to where I'm like, I gotta go drive this for two hours

36:13

talk. Like, when in actuality, I just wanna

36:15

go drive it, have fun, go to donuts. But I gotta

36:17

film it. It's gotta be added. For every

36:19

one that's work, there's two that are fun.

36:21

Right. And then one of the two that are fun our

36:24

opportunities to meet people like you guys or to meet

36:26

Willandizell. Like, my like, Willandizell

36:28

gave my my son the little RC

36:31

30 that he that he raced in our or his

36:33

video, like, unspeakable flew

36:35

out to our house and did

36:37

attractive He's killing it. 30 been killing him for

36:39

a long time. But Yeah. And 30 and he's definitely younger

36:41

generation, but like It's amazing. David

36:44

Dobre at Kimball. I was like, and it's it's not even

36:46

that I'm meeting these people. It's that It's that they get

36:48

to 30, like, my kids. Like 30

36:50

like, it means a lot to them, I think, to meet these people.

36:52

Just just knowing that I'm giving people access to

36:54

these guys that they could have never met. Like, it's that means

36:56

a lot to me. And that is very

36:58

fulfilling. So and we also got to go

37:00

to Italy. Like, there's some really fun stuff that we get to

37:02

do. I'm sure you guys feel the same way, maybe you want a minute, but there's

37:05

probably some vlogs where, like, god, I'm not looking forward

37:07

to this. I'm doing it because I know it'll prob it'll probably

37:09

do okay and Oh, but 30 have to get

37:11

Well, some some days you don't feel like phone

37:14

The hard half is when it's so fucking cold.

37:17

Like, dude, I do not wanna go outside

37:19

right

37:19

now. It's twenty below

37:20

us, but we're

37:21

like, yeah. It's not that bad. Let's

37:23

go. And then there's some cringey shit. We're like,

37:25

I had I went my 30, and we made a bathtub

37:27

in the ResVani. And you're like, I'm like,

37:29

god, I gotta go to drive throughs sitting

37:31

in the swim trial. Yeah. Well, like

37:34

but it's so funny when you launch it. It's

37:36

such a different video for us then that, like,

37:38

it's done. It's over

37:39

with. I didn't wanna do it, but it was 30. So

37:41

I'm glad Yeah. That's the best feeling too when

37:43

you're like, you're like, god. I really don't wanna do this,

37:45

and then you're like, whatever we're gonna do it, and you do it, and then you're

37:47

just so

37:48

30.

37:48

you can do it

37:48

after it's over. Yep. How good

37:51

does it feel though when you get, like, a one out

37:53

of ten video? And you know, like,

37:55

you put all this work into the

37:56

30. And it actually worked

37:58

and people love it though. Yeah. At the very

38:01

30 good. That is

38:03

one of the best feelings ever. And then it does the little,

38:05

like, For those of you that have YouTube channels, the little

38:07

sprinkles are the fireworks. They're like,

38:09

I don't think it works on

38:10

mobile. It doesn't do the It does it

38:12

for me on mobile, I think. But

38:13

maybe it does. Maybe Maybe I just Yeah. No one knows

38:15

what it might be. Yes. And and for

38:17

us, like, I think our our videos have done

38:19

really well in general. I'd say now we're in a

38:21

little bit more of a slump where And

38:24

I I said this on the the podcast I did with

38:26

Graham Stefan, but, like, I I still

38:28

even though it's very, like, loosely run here,

38:30

like, we still have metrics that that I want them to

38:32

stick by. And it's, you know, it's

38:34

it's and I don't know what you guys look at,

38:36

but the more subs you have, the more views that

38:38

you should get in a video. Yeah. But if you

38:41

million subs and you're only getting three hundred thousand or two hundred

38:43

thousand views on a video, then you're not doing so well.

38:45

So I try to make it third of our sub

38:47

count is a a

38:50

pretty good video. And then two thirds or more

38:52

is a solid video. So we're at four hundred

38:54

thousand subs anytime that we're doing two fifty k

38:56

plus like we've made a solid video. We're averaging

38:58

around two hundred k to two if

39:00

you took the average of our last twenty

39:02

videos, it's probably that two twenty five to

39:04

two fifty k, which is really solid. Right?

39:07

And that's like what Whistler and 30 performs at.

39:09

Like, he's got four and a half plus million subs, and every

39:11

video is getting three plus million. Like, and and

39:13

the bigger you get, the harder it

39:15

is. Right. She said, You

39:16

can't set yourself up for this. So

39:19

like so he is really

39:21

but he's also, like, bold and, like, I will

39:24

never be that bold and dangerous. It's

39:26

weird how the older you get, the more

39:28

conservative you get, even though you have

39:30

less years to live, it's it's just

39:32

weird. And when your young

39:33

users.

39:33

No. That's an interesting perspective.

39:36

It's true, though. Like, you like, he's in

39:38

his early

39:38

twenty four. 30 way,

39:41

he inspired me to get a tattoo. It was my first ever

39:43

tattoo. He had a tattoo in his hand

39:45

of his of his

39:48

girlfriend's birthday. And I'm like, it was

39:50

really small, really subtle. And, like, if I ever

39:52

get one, it's gonna be small and subtle. And then,

39:54

it was, like, old timey typewriter font. So

39:56

when I was in Vegas, I got my wife's

39:59

birthday

39:59

tattooed. Nice. I

40:00

noticed that it looked fresh. That's

40:02

that's cool. So clean. So that

40:04

was pretty that's I didn't wanna pose off the guy, but

40:06

I thought it was so cool. I wanted to replicate

40:08

it. 30 stealing his ideas and shit.

40:11

Yeah. You want a nice dude's tattoo. Yeah.

40:14

I should go take my laugh 30 off road

40:16

now and go beat it and send it.

40:18

Right. Yeah. So you like,

40:20

how's how's how's things been with obviously,

40:23

you're extremely busy working on the business

40:25

and now you're working on

40:26

YouTube. Yeah. You got your 30, you got your wife,

40:28

they brought up, like, there must

40:31

be a balancing act that comes with that.

40:33

30. Yeah. Like, there's, like, you know, weekends and evenings

40:36

are are for the 30, and then there's a lot

40:38

of time I can schedule 30, like, I pick up the kids

40:40

a lot school at three three thirty. Take

40:42

them, like, there's it's kind of like weaving

40:44

my schedule around that. So it's that that's

40:46

kind of the core schedule is making sure they're

40:49

taking the school, taking care of when Caroline can't.

40:51

And there's a lot of days where it's just make a shell exercise

40:53

work. I feel like, that's kind of the the

40:55

solidified thing. And then the work is scheduled,

40:58

like, all around that stuff. And we

41:00

try to travel lot too because I

41:02

read that one of the or the biggest thing

41:04

that people do once they start making good income is travel.

41:06

That's that's the biggest differentiator. It's not going

41:08

and buying super hypercars. It's like the travel

41:11

increases significantly. And like, there's reason

41:13

for that. Like, it's so fun to

41:15

just get out, go to the Bahamas, go to Hawaii, go

41:17

to Florida. If you guys have seen some of

41:19

the

41:19

videos, which I'm sure you have, like 30 World is I'm

41:21

huge.

41:23

I caught onto that. Yeah.

41:24

Yeah. Mhmm. And so He's like,

41:26

you 30, like, ten times a year or so? Yeah. I

41:28

mean, we're we spend about one

41:30

out of every four or five days in that

41:33

30. If if you yeah. Yeah.

41:35

It's kinda nice. It's kind of a big kid. I

41:37

30. Like, I eat a

41:39

lot of

41:39

sugar. Like, I 30.

41:41

I wanna be like you. Yeah. I

41:43

30, when I'm as I get older,

41:45

I wanna even more like, I'm not comes

41:47

to it, but I'm more of a I'm more of a

41:49

child, I think, than a lot of people in there

41:51

than probably

41:52

them. But, yes,

41:54

that's that's the way it has to be. Whether you have puppy

41:56

that's just a few weeks older, senior who's seen multiple

41:58

decades, any dog person like me knows the most valuable

42:01

thing in the world is spending more time with your pet.

42:03

The farmer's dog makes it easy to keep them healthy,

42:05

which can give you more quality years with them.

42:07

The farmer's dog makes and delivers fresh,

42:09

healthy dog food. It's recommended by vets,

42:11

nutritionally 30, and made from human grade

42:13

ingredients and safe clean kitchens. It's

42:15

the best option for dogs at all stages

42:17

of life. It's not kibble. It's not kangaroo.

42:19

It's just real food. Traditional dry and wet

42:22

dog food options extremely processed and they can

42:24

use much lower quality ingredients than they claim

42:26

to. And they're also extremely difficult to portion

42:28

accurately. 30 dog isn't just higher

42:30

quality food. They also send the food 30 specifically

42:33

for your dog based on your unique nutritional needs.

42:35

This makes it easy to help your dog reach and stay

42:37

at their ideal weight. Is one of the biggest indicators

42:40

of a long, healthy life. A healthy

42:42

diet just isn't important for humans. My

42:44

dog 30 has been eating the farmer's dog for weeks

42:47

now and she loves her farmer's dog food.

42:49

My favorite part is her breath doesn't stink so

42:51

dang bad even right after eating.

42:53

Doesn't matter if your dog is young or old, it's always

42:55

the right time to begin investing in their long term health,

do you pick up the kids from school in these

43:37

things? I

43:38

do. Yeah. We've we've seen, like,

43:39

that must draw a crowd. Yes. There were

43:41

there was a period for, like, three solid weeks. I'd show

43:43

up in a different car 30 day. And

43:46

and then once we had all the cars up

43:48

doing a vlog and and, like, my son 30 to be

43:50

picked up. I'm like, we're gonna have to take them all there. Like,

43:52

that's the only option. So we show up with, like, ten

43:54

super diaper cars to

43:55

pick. Oh, I'm up. One of which was

43:57

the blues 30 that was just with us shooting

43:59

a vlog.

44:01

Yeah. That's awesome. You got limos though

44:03

too, don't you?

44:04

Yeah. Those are like some of my favorite cars. I I drove

44:06

them extensively this weekend. We're big limo guys

44:08

too. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We've had two. What kind?

44:11

Shady ones. Yeah.

44:13

Like, what year and what year? I think the first

44:15

one was, like, a two thousand one Lincolntown

44:17

car, and It

44:20

was the best. It's not like wrap wrap 30,

44:23

but we had so much fun in it. I think

44:25

we bought it for, like, three thousand dollars. Wow.

44:27

And that's where it all started.

44:30

We we ended up chopping the roof

44:32

off and doing a convertible demo. And then at

44:34

the after

44:35

that, we did a we made a hot tub out of

44:37

it. And drove around. It was

44:39

so fun. Mhmm. Yes. Mine's less

44:41

about going and doing crazy stuff. I I just

44:43

like that it it brings you into

44:45

a different, like, era. I feel like I'm in

44:48

the like, I'm driving this car and it's nineteen

44:50

eighty three. Like, that's why I love it. And and

44:52

so they're very untouched other

44:54

than rewiring them and making everything

44:56

work. So I have the eighty three 30 Broomand

44:58

then I have an eighty nine Lincolntown Cut. Those were, like, the two

45:00

Pinnacle Limos of the eighties. And so I

45:03

wanted to get both of them and and like the kids

45:05

30 enjoy them until my eighty three broke

45:07

down on the road the other day and like my daughter was

45:09

wigging out a little bit because we're in the middle this

45:11

busy s

45:12

highway. The 30 dead. So, like,

45:14

the

45:15

hazards are barely on. Like, it's dark. I'm

45:17

like, I had to get the kids out. We're pushing

45:19

the car like this quick

45:20

spouse, like, she

45:20

got two week cards. She's

45:22

like this. 30 freaking out in the car,

45:24

like, not making matters better. I'm like, oh, she's

45:27

never gonna go in the slimmer

45:28

again. But I still freaking love them.

45:30

Are

45:30

your kids driving? No. They're not. No. So,

45:32

like, what are you what are you gonna do for, like, a first

45:34

car? Have you thought about that

45:36

yet? Or Like, It's not gonna be it won't

45:38

be modest, but it'll be far more modest than

45:40

this. Like, I really like

45:42

the Tesla Model three as a great

45:44

car. Like, I'm not gonna like, they're

45:45

not gonna put them on a third wagon? No.

45:48

There's there's a lot of that culture where the kids

45:50

get, like, super hypercars. They're wearing, like,

45:52

a thousand dollar I'm, like, that will never be

45:54

my kids. Like, they go to public schools. Like, III

45:57

just won't put them in a private

45:58

school. I think there's a lot to be 30. And that's there's nothing

46:00

wrong with private schools. I just I

46:02

think that a public school There's something

46:04

wrong with private private

46:05

school. He

46:06

30 to

46:06

a private 30. Yeah. There's lots there's

46:08

lots there's

46:09

lots of good people that come from them, but I want them

46:11

to live a normal life

46:13

as possible. And that's not

46:15

possible to some extent, but like model

46:18

three is not humble, but it's also, like, a

46:20

safe car that's quick and, like, it's neat

46:22

and fun reliable. Maybe it yeah. Yeah.

46:24

So it's pretty basic stuff. So yeah. Or

46:27

like a 30 like a like a

46:28

wrangler. Like, it'd be cool for them

46:29

to have the Rubik 30. My my wife has the three

46:31

ninety two. So that that is an expensive 30.

46:34

But, like, it'd be neat for them to go whip at jeepering

46:36

the Rubicon three ninety two that's supercharged to

46:38

school. And it's not like a it's not

46:40

a Lamborghini.

46:41

And now to eye eye catching and

46:43

Yes. I mean, at the end of the day, you still own

46:45

a 30 entire 30. Yep. And

46:48

the car industry has made you you

46:51

know, who you are today. So -- Sure. -- you almost

46:53

gotta have your sons or your daughter

46:55

rolling around at some

46:56

cool. They have to have in through even the Model three isn't

46:58

like, we would I would probably put wheels on it,

47:00

and we'd probably put a body kit in it. The the Rubicon

47:02

three ninety two is an enthusiast vehicle. Like, it

47:04

would have to be some kind of enthusiast vehicle. They're not

47:06

gonna get a

47:07

Camry. They're not gonna get something that's

47:09

boring. What what do you think of the three

47:11

ninety two? It seems to me that jeeps

47:13

30 don't drive the best in putting giant and

47:15

it would make it a death

47:16

trap. It's incredibly fun. My

47:19

one of the other owners of the 30, Ryan

47:21

Wittenbought one too, and it's just

47:23

a really fun car, however. It's

47:25

governed at ninety nine miles an hour, which

47:27

I for good 30. Yeah. It doesn't go over.

47:29

You know, I hit it every time drive it, I'm like,

47:32

gosh, dude. I just wanna like, even my

47:34

wristwani, which is a 30. I'll hit

47:36

like a hundred and twenty in that thing, and I'm like,

47:38

cool, man. This thing's like, yeah. And I'm like,

47:41

I could die or flip at any moment. But cool,

47:43

man. I'm going hundred and twenty. But

47:45

that frustrates me however. It is like

47:47

you're next to someone and and they're in like

47:49

a Mustang. And I'm in this 30. And,

47:52

like, I just zoom off and they're probably like,

47:54

what the fuck? That

47:56

thing sounded and it's a first v eight and a and

47:58

a jeep in forty years. And incredibly

48:00

fun. However, we we put the supercharger on,

48:03

and it added, like, thirty horsepower. And we're like,

48:05

how did it only had thirty horsepower? The tune shops,

48:07

like, Well, we couldn't really tune it any higher than

48:09

that because these engines are notoriously 30.

48:11

He's like, I could, but your engine fault. I'm

48:12

like, well, that's great to know. Yeah. I don't wanna

48:14

that.

48:14

I I have to have invested I would have never put the

48:16

supercharger in if I knew that they could only

48:18

limit to their They didn't tell you that?

48:20

Nobody said anything. Yeah. You know what

48:22

I love about you, 30, is is

48:24

everyone always dreams of

48:26

getting to where you're at. Right? Where

48:28

you get the money and you can buy all

48:30

these cars. Sure. But you

48:32

arrive them and you treat them exactly

48:35

how everyone would always dream that.

48:37

Sure. And that's like my favorite part is that

48:39

you're like you're actually mobbing these things

48:41

down the

48:42

30. Like like a eighteen year old

48:44

kid would. I've I've gotten as I've gotten older, I've

48:46

gotten lot smart. Like, I'm not I'm not 30.

48:48

I'm speeding in the right 30.

48:50

Like, desk. So nobody's 30. J. Says

48:52

that C. J. Sanity 30 gets one ticket

48:54

every three weeks. Oh,

48:56

well, I was gonna say I used to get

48:58

a ticket, two to three tickets a year.

49:01

I have I've had well over thirty five, forty tickets.

49:03

I've had none in the last three years, and it's because

49:05

you just kinda like you're like, there's a right place and

49:07

a wrong place to speak. Like, I don't wanna speak, but there's a lot

49:09

of intersections, crossroads, homes,

49:11

but, like, there's plenty of stretches that

49:14

that don't have any of that. And and they're they're

49:16

very unlikely to probably be patrolled. So,

49:18

like, those are the ones that I'm going a hundred, hundred

49:21

and twenty, a hundred and fifty plus on. Allegedly.

49:23

Yeah. 30 held it in Mexico. And

49:25

then there's certain highways that that have, like,

49:28

long stretches, like, you know that it's not possible

49:30

to patrol Yeah. And so that's where really try

49:32

to get my aggression

49:33

out. I saw the

49:35

video of you doing two hundred in your poor

49:37

guy. Yeah. Yeah. It's insane. You're

49:39

on eleven miles an hour. I

49:42

can't disclose where, but yes.

49:43

What does that feel like? Oh,

49:45

scary. Well, and that's scary. Like, the

49:47

the problem was I hit it. And

49:49

then there was a curve way up ahead. Right?

49:52

And then so I start breaking, but you're like,

49:54

you can't hard brake at that speed. Yeah.

49:56

So, like, the curve got taken, like, a

49:59

hundred thirty, 30 four. So it's gonna be you kind

50:01

of forget. You just don't realize how quickly

50:03

it comes up. That's what she said. And

50:06

it's like it's so far a heads up.

50:08

Right, I braked 30, but like, I'm like, oh my

50:10

gosh. Like, I needed to break even earlier. And then

50:12

and that was one that I I texted the crew. That

50:14

was when I went to eleven, and and I'm going on the curve.

50:16

And I and and there was the Senate was right behind

50:18

30. And that's what I'm like, alright, guys. Like,

50:21

we need to chill little bit more than that in the highway. Like

50:23

and I was 30, like And you're leaving,

50:25

like, what I'm like? Because that's I mean,

50:27

are you 30? We need to chill little bit

50:29

more than that. Like, it's it's just not

50:31

worth it. Maybe

50:33

we'll just go at hundred thirty, hundred forty, but but

50:35

I don't know about this two hundred eleven shit. But

50:37

is tough because you gotta 30. It's almost like you

50:39

have

50:40

to. Well, the bugatti has actually shipped

50:42

off to to be auctioned

50:44

30?

50:44

So so I I wanna get a phase around an

50:46

EB one ten this year. So I I

50:48

and then have the the Siron SS

50:51

coming later this year. So as

50:53

goofy as it sounds. I wanted to, like, not

50:55

have a Sharan for a good ten months so that it's

50:57

all more fun when I do get

50:58

it. Nope.

50:59

That actually makes sense. Mhmm. It does. Indeed.

51:01

What's your favorite car in the fleet? Nine eighteen

51:03

all day. So far. And then we we put an exhaust

51:05

in it, which made it better and also made it worse.

51:07

Like, it's it's a it gives me a headache when I drive

51:09

it. But, like, when the when this the

51:11

tap is off, like, it's something

51:14

about a gas motor. When I was in a Tesla, I drive

51:16

a lot safer. They're faster. Like,

51:18

the acceleration on that's faster than anything I have

51:20

here in my plaid that I had. But, like, you don't

51:22

hear the engine rumbling behind you? Not as

51:24

fun. So it's like, you you just you just

51:27

drive more conservative. And then it

51:29

has autopilot. I'm like, well, I'm lazy. Like, I'm

51:31

just gonna throw autopilot on and let this thing drive

51:33

me at the speed limit, the entire way to exercise

51:35

or whatever. But these are like, I mean,

51:37

there's no autopilot. They're loud. You can feel the engine

51:39

rumbling. I'm like, yeah. I'm gonna need to go a a hundred

51:41

and thirty seven miles an hour on

51:44

this little block here.

51:45

So -- Yes. -- with, like, the car market,

51:47

you know, obviously, there is a stint where you could

51:50

buy Lamborghini and make money

51:52

on it. Yeah. And now it's obviously coming

51:55

back down. Do you think let's

51:57

say if I was going to buy a

51:59

an Audi RA or a a HuracON? Would

52:02

it be a bad time to buy it right now? I

52:03

think the market still has some correcting to do.

52:06

It would have been a really bad time to buy it six months

52:08

ago.

52:10

I bought I bought a Hurcon six months ago.

52:13

Oh, shit.

52:13

You were more like eight, so maybe even worse yet.

52:15

Yeah.

52:16

don't know. I bought it at the peak of Oh

52:18

my gosh. I've lost so much money on it. I don't actually

52:21

wanna think about it. That will happen. Yeah. And

52:23

that was about yeah. 668 months ago was

52:25

pretty much peak March good value, and then it's come down

52:27

pretty hard. Yeah. I know. The hurricanes

52:30

so, like, looking back at

52:31

hurricanes, they got as cheap as about one seventy

52:34

five, one eighty. And I don't know what they're at.

52:36

What's, like, the 30? I was I've been seeing

52:38

them for, like, oh, the two wheels. don't even look

52:40

I just look at the six ten fours and --

52:42

Yeah. -- those

52:42

are, like, you can get them for like one eighty right now. Okay.

52:44

So they're they're getting back down to where they were at, but

52:46

that but that was where they were at three years ago.

52:49

So they have to come down lower than that.

52:51

Like, Yeah. So that that's the thing

52:53

is, like, they can't hold that value,

52:55

especially with interest rates rising. Like,

52:57

even theventadors are getting where they were

52:59

at three years ago, but there's more correcting

53:02

that has to be done because they're three years older.

53:04

Now that doesn't go for all cars. There are cars that you can

53:07

buy make money on the four GT has has held

53:09

strong.

53:09

Like, those are four hundred thousand dollars. I paid

53:11

two eighty five, two something for that. I

53:13

make I've made money on my GTR if I was a

53:15

size out today. That they're they're not building

53:17

him 30. Yeah. I could dispose that part of it. I'm

53:19

gonna lose a shit ton of money on that CboysTV.

53:22

should get it like that, but Yes. Yes. And

53:24

you guys should buy it. Dude,

53:26

the 30 three like Porsche is notorious for

53:28

building a car that holds, like, their their special

53:31

GT 3RS always held value. You can go get a

53:33

fifteen year old one for, like, one seventy, one

53:35

30, and that's what they were new. Like, it's it's crazy how

53:37

well those hold their value, but then there's some cars

53:39

that will rapidly deteriorate

53:41

So, yeah, unfortunately, you're gonna -- Yeah. -- take a

53:43

bath on that 1II

53:44

figured I've probably lost fifty grand on it.

53:47

You just gotta do something something really entertaining

53:49

with it and then he can

53:50

make up for it. Yeah. Yeah. By by making

53:52

it worth even less. Yeah. The 30 that buy a

53:54

fuck from me first. So Boy. You

53:56

guys will all be partners with me.

53:58

Oh, sure. We actually bought your

54:00

guys' f three fifty, the r com truck.

54:03

Oh, really? And that thing's

54:05

been been good to us. I love driving it.

54:07

It's really bumpy just because, you know, it's a

54:09

huge listed on twenty six

54:11

inch wheels that you'll have that, but

54:13

that thing 30 is the most eye

54:16

grabbing. Vehicle in our fleet.

54:19

But speaking of doing crazy stuff with it, we've done

54:21

some some good stuff with it and good.

54:24

Yeah. 30 I bought the sister. So we ordered

54:26

one up there and then I ordered one down here and I had

54:28

the the other f two fifty diesel

54:31

for about a year and then we sold that one

54:33

as well, but those are a lot of fun. Those are really nice. Yeah. We

54:35

would drive it a lot more, but the

54:37

Minnesota's really hard on truck

54:40

laws. And we have numerous people that

54:42

are really hard all around us and

54:44

it makes it really tough to drive because it's like

54:46

A56 hundred dollar ticket if you pulled

54:48

up. Yeah. I heard I heard Pennsylvania's like

54:50

worse than the nation for for those kind of laws

54:52

too. Yes. It's unfortunate. I

54:53

mean, they're there for a reason, but it sucks.

54:55

It just have real crime down here. So 30, driving

54:58

your cars.

54:59

You go forty five minutes east here and, yeah,

55:01

you better you better be packing. Where I was going

55:03

with that, I think, was we've done some, like, kind of

55:05

outlandish stuff with it and we've been hard

55:07

on it. But

55:08

30, it it I think it looks just

55:10

as good still as it pulls off the floor. Yeah. It's

55:12

really held up. And and you made me think something

55:14

like it's weird like we'll do some really

55:17

phenomenal content. I'm shifting back to content.

55:19

My my brain will go, like, nine directions, but, like,

55:21

we're talking about that that made me think about, like, You'll

55:23

do some content that's different for your channel, but

55:25

it's like 30, really good and genuine and it

55:27

won't do well. And, like, it's unfortunate

55:29

where where I'm, like, taking my 30 off

55:31

roading it. Like, the Rosvani doesn't typically do well

55:33

unless there's drama behind it. And, like,

55:36

even when we're filming the pickup, which we haven't

55:38

aired yet, but, like, and it breaks down on the way home.

55:40

We're like, gosh, damn it. Like,

55:42

now and now the video is gonna do well because

55:44

it because it

55:45

exploded. But I

55:47

also my environment 30 also

55:49

exploded. It's like negative. Yeah. So I

55:51

can think about YouTube is, like, people just

55:53

love the the negative

55:55

side of

55:56

things. I know when the Santa Rex 30, like, we have to get

55:58

the set it in up quickly because everybody's gonna

56:00

tell their own narrative, and then that was a million view

56:02

video. Right? We're hanging out with Stradman

56:04

and some Karen walks up. I'm like, oh my god.

56:07

Like, this is gonna do really well. It's

56:10

it's it's usually the ones that do the Are

56:12

are some of ones that take the 30 amount work that

56:14

Karen video took like fifteen

56:16

minutes to film, and it's like our third or fourth

56:18

bass cold. And then our our collection

56:20

tours always do phenomenal 30 do the full tour,

56:22

those always do three plus million. So that'll be

56:24

a recurring thing. And my collection changes so much. Like, when

56:27

we film it again, maybe later this year, it'll be

56:29

a completely different collections. We do the same thing. Yeah.

56:31

You almost you almost have to. Right? But but it's 30,

56:33

broader market. I think it was James

56:35

Stradman that said, like, don't give up on those

56:37

videos. Like, if if they're good, the more those

56:39

you do, like, people you will acclimate

56:42

other types of viewers and and they will start to perform

56:44

well. Like, I started doing one's on on business

56:46

and, like, very different. Like, Those

56:48

those did, like, they did the one third of followers,

56:51

so they did, like, the b minus job, but the

56:53

sub the sub add was, like,

56:55

three x of So that hundred

56:57

thousand viewers, I added a

56:59

thousand subs, which is a thousand subs for every

57:01

hundred thousand views. Awesome. So So

57:04

you have to treat that almost like a two fifty or

57:06

three hundred thousand view because that's the amount of subs

57:08

that that it got if you equate it all

57:09

out. You hang out with, like, all these

57:11

really successful YouTubers. You've met way

57:14

more than us. Oh, yeah. Obviously,

57:17

David Dobrik's -- Sure. -- Stratman, Whistler and

57:19

30, do they give you any other, like like, advice?

57:21

30 share with us. And

57:23

I think think some of them, like, get asked so

57:25

much where, like, it's where it's almost like

57:28

like David Dobrik's, like, consistency. Like, that

57:30

was his answer. He probably knows a lot. But,

57:32

like, as big as he 30, there

57:34

may be even be a liability to what advice he

57:36

gives out. Who knows? Yeah. And so,

57:38

like, you also don't wanna give away your secret

57:40

sauce, but, like, honestly, I don't really mind at the

57:42

end of the day. don't like, I think

57:44

that there's a ton of

57:46

little I guess that's the easiest way to

57:48

put it is there's a ton of little

57:50

things. There's twenty little things and maybe a few big

57:52

things, some of which are swapping out your titles,

57:54

and don't know if you guys will swap out your

57:56

type of view and and mails. Yeah.

57:58

I I heard that's one of the most effective things. And

58:00

we've seen it where you're where you wait an hour, you see

58:02

other video forms. And then if it doesn't do well, you swap

58:04

out that. And then you'll see a small spiking

58:06

like, okay. And and 30, it only does

58:08

a small lift. There's a few videos where we're like,

58:10

wow, that that made it substantial impact.

58:13

But by and large, that only seems to help out

58:16

a little bit for us. I don't even know how important

58:18

consistency is like David Dobrik would say.

58:20

Then you got whistling in one video month

58:23

sometimes or even two months and he's killing

58:25

it.

58:25

Yeah. I mean, but it's also the

58:27

quality of content. Like, there are other people that

58:29

have.

58:30

That have collections like this, and they don't

58:32

get as much engagement because it

58:34

could be their personalities. They might not be catering

58:36

to, like, there's certain things that I wanna do

58:38

that won't perform well, so I'm not gonna do them.

58:40

Like, I wanna make sure that we know that the

58:42

video is gonna perform well. Like, I'll still

58:44

go do fun stuff. We're just not gonna vlog it.

58:46

You know. Like, we'll go take a cruise to, you

58:48

know, a three hour cruise somewhere in these and

58:51

and go hit up a bunch of restaurants and, like, plan

58:53

a really fun thing about

58:54

it. And, like, 30 would love to be a part of that, but

58:56

I don't think they wanna watch some cruise.

58:58

It

58:58

takes away from it too.

58:59

Yeah. Absolutely. It's

59:00

not worth the time, then it's like, well, 30 should just

59:02

try to be present and enjoy it. And it's

59:04

weird how when you first start filming, how how

59:06

awkward it is to have, like, a camera link and you guys have

59:08

been doing it so long where don't even know if you remember that

59:10

moment, but, like, you and then you become

59:13

numb to it. You're like, well, pop up pop the cat. Like,

59:15

we're in a Walmart. We're shopping like If it Yeah. If it Yeah. If it

59:17

Yeah. We're best example. We're in public.

59:19

Yes. And it's so weird. At first, we're like, people

59:22

watching, like but now it's just, alright,

59:24

whip it out, man. I I'm mic ed

59:25

up. I'm ready to go. Yep. It it was a lot harder

59:27

though when you were, like, small. And also, I mean,

59:29

we've been doing this for we're coming up on seven

59:32

years. Yeah. And especially where where

59:34

we're from. I mean, there there's no YouTubers.

59:36

So Why? Guys in

59:37

Minnesota. Where we grew up,

59:39

man. But I think that's the best re

59:41

that's really the best reason why I'm out 30. But we

59:43

we love it though. I mean, especially with the content

59:45

30 do we do a little bit of 30. And

59:48

we really try to to make the center.

59:50

It's just kinda the group's camaraderie.

59:52

30. And, you know, it just started

59:55

out with us hanging out and just started filament

59:57

and then started learning

59:59

more and basically kinda teaching ourselves as

1:00:01

the time went on. In Minnesota, like,

1:00:03

we loved to to 30. We love to do

1:00:05

dirt bikes. We love cars. And and being

1:00:08

that we're in such a secluded area, it actually

1:00:10

works to our benefit. And then on top of

1:00:12

that, there's a lot of you

1:00:14

know, I mean, most of America is

1:00:16

probably, you know, kind of small town

1:00:18

or Yeah. So I think a lot

1:00:20

of kids can resonate with it.

1:00:22

Exactly. Yeah. I think I think lot

1:00:24

like there's a lot of people doing the same type of content

1:00:26

that we're doing, but I think a lot of it does have to do

1:00:28

with comradery 30. Exactly. And

1:00:31

and so that that is important. And, like,

1:00:34

30 all get along really well with with Tommy

1:00:36

to tell you, hey. Like, it's and that's important.

1:00:38

Like, that that was one of the biggest hiring things

1:00:40

and we hired Aiden, who's our most recent hire

1:00:42

rate. Every day, like, 30 has to

1:00:44

be able to hang with the group and and get along

1:00:46

and, like, he just has to have that personality, also

1:00:49

one that I'm not gonna get sued at. Not gonna

1:00:51

get sued when when it's very

1:00:54

30 I don't know how to say it, but we we

1:00:56

are a little like as crazy as we are on camera

1:00:58

with three times that off

1:00:59

camera. Yeah.

1:01:01

That's 30 like us too. Yeah.

1:01:04

I think that's most people. And you have to be careful.

1:01:06

You have to trust your editor too because there's probably

1:01:08

a lot of stuff that would get like this 30

1:01:10

that says there's that they are a cancel

1:01:13

30. Like, that's bullshit. Like, every

1:01:15

single influencer has plenty

1:01:17

that will get them canceled. And there's plenty that we've

1:01:19

all said and done that would get us canceled. And and you

1:01:21

have to be careful who you like, they have to

1:01:23

sign NDAs and other

1:01:25

stuff, like and you guys should 30 that. So

1:01:27

Yeah. 30. We we say that all the time, though.

1:01:29

It's, like, at the end of the day, it shouldn't really

1:01:31

matter what we're filming as long as the vibes are

1:01:33

high.

1:01:33

Yep. Yeah. It's the most important thing. Dynamic.

1:01:35

So, like, if if 30, like,

1:01:38

pissed off or, like, something just happened.

1:01:40

We're, like, alright. Well, let's

1:01:42

film in, like, an hour. Yeah. So, like, we

1:01:44

don't go into it, like, somebody

1:01:45

mad. It's one

1:01:46

person's pissed off, though. It's almost kinda 30,

1:01:49

I got it. Situation. 30.

1:01:52

That that person for us is usually Natalia.

1:01:54

Oh, really? She'll be like,

1:01:56

and, like, Tom, you and I are the worst. So

1:01:59

you're you're poking at the bear.

1:02:00

Yeah. Oh, no. Let's say we're poking at a let's

1:02:02

say we're poking at a cat. Okay. 30

1:02:04

call her a cat because you you know you can you never

1:02:07

know how many times you you can pattern until like

1:02:09

the cat just fucking and then

1:02:11

and then one day, the cat's like, oh, fine 30.

1:02:13

Pet me one day, like, the same thing same

1:02:15

input,

1:02:15

but, like, the cat wants nothing to do with you. That's

1:02:17

Natalia.

1:02:19

Kinda sounds like Ken. You gotta have

1:02:21

that though. That's part of every good,

1:02:23

good dynamic. That's it.

1:02:24

It's essential.

1:02:25

So so we'll we'll notice her in a bad mood. We usually

1:02:27

won't back off at all. 30

1:02:30

what we do. She's a good sport though.

1:02:32

So do you think that it's been harder

1:02:34

to create a YouTube channel in this day and

1:02:36

age? Or create a wheel company

1:02:39

back when you first started because it's like

1:02:41

completely different,

1:02:42

but, I mean, you're still building something. I

1:02:44

guess the glory days of YouTube sounded like

1:02:46

it was fifteen, sixteen, seventeen when

1:02:48

like, that's one thing when I've talked

1:02:50

to everybody like it was so much easier to build

1:02:52

a channel back than in so much competition now,

1:02:54

actually, is what I usually -- Yeah. -- versus

1:02:56

metrics. Like, you're just going up against so many more

1:02:58

people. I think we've been pretty 30,

1:03:01

like, a half nearly half million followers and

1:03:03

30, we only have had content going

1:03:06

since, like, we did few videos

1:03:08

that did a thousand views and then, like,

1:03:10

our first tour video, which was maybe a fifth

1:03:12

or sixth 30. Like, that's the one that did well at

1:03:14

the end of October in two thousand twenty

1:03:16

one. So it's been, like, 30, fifteen

1:03:18

months. Of having actual,

1:03:21

like, scheduled content. And a half

1:03:23

million subs is pretty good. Yes.

1:03:25

How that time period? So, like, I'm

1:03:27

I'm 30, I think, a little bit by that. In

1:03:30

that it's been going really 30. Like, it

1:03:32

doesn't feel like it's been a huge challenge. But

1:03:35

the business has been a twenty year

1:03:38

grind And I think,

1:03:40

like, to start this today would be

1:03:42

significantly harder. Okay. Now

1:03:44

granted, I have a huge car collection. So, like,

1:03:46

I think any Joe Schmoe could go and build

1:03:48

a channel out of these. I don't I think we've

1:03:51

seen that there there are actually a lot of channels you may never

1:03:53

heard about with super hypercars that that just

1:03:55

they don't grow or they don't do well. They

1:03:57

may have sub hundred thousand subs. Like, there's

1:03:59

there's definitely an element to creating good, engaging

1:04:02

content, having good 30. Like, But

1:04:04

at the end of the day, someone could probably grow

1:04:06

a channel to hundred thousand viewers within

1:04:09

a year even if it's pretty mediocre, maybe

1:04:11

not. But starting a starting a

1:04:13

business 30 in our industry would 30.

1:04:15

Like, when I launch a new website, it

1:04:17

takes two to three years for it to be profitable

1:04:19

and that's with our huge data our

1:04:21

team, our marketing. So that makes me

1:04:24

feel great, though. Like, to know how difficult

1:04:26

it is, lets us know how special the

1:04:28

wheel and tire companies we have are. And how

1:04:30

difficult it would be to compete against us.

1:04:32

So if you were, let's

1:04:35

say, in your twenty one tomorrow,

1:04:38

you're going back to your broke again.

1:04:40

You don't have any you don't know where you're going

1:04:42

in

1:04:42

life. Yeah. Because I'm sure there's a lot of people honestly

1:04:44

listening right now that are trying to they wanna be successful

1:04:47

like you. Like, what would be your first

1:04:49

step? That is a

1:04:51

great question because

1:04:54

it is so hard to start

1:04:56

something without money. Like, they always say the rich get

1:04:58

richer, the poor get poorer, and like it's an unfortunate

1:05:01

saying, what you realize as you make more

1:05:03

money, there's so much more opportunities to make

1:05:05

I'm like, there's so this morning. Yeah. We

1:05:07

It's but it but it it sucks and it's unfortunate.

1:05:09

Like, there's there's several ideas I

1:05:11

have in the pipeline that I know would be successful that I

1:05:13

can leverage my social media channel. They

1:05:16

just require a little bit of money and

1:05:19

subjective the end of the day. But to start a business,

1:05:21

a little bit of money, a couple hundred thousand dollars is

1:05:24

a little bit of money to start and build, especially

1:05:26

like manufacturing business. But

1:05:28

that's a lot of money to someone else. And that

1:05:30

that's what it requires to probably

1:05:33

foster most 30. It depends.

1:05:35

Like, if my skill set like, with my current

1:05:37

skill set, I can't develop. I can't I

1:05:40

might go partner myself. Like, I'll think of an

1:05:42

30. I might go partner myself with someone that has

1:05:44

strong web dev capabilities

1:05:47

and someone that's young right out of school that doesn't

1:05:49

need money right away and work together with that

1:05:51

person to build an idea that I have on the app

1:05:53

side, like I genuinely do have an idea. And

1:05:55

if I believe that it's strongly enough, it's

1:05:57

a lot of it's about giving up some equity and partnering

1:05:59

with

1:06:00

someone.

1:06:00

That can build that I'm I'm assuming there's a

1:06:02

service or product that that we thought of that actually

1:06:04

won't take too much upfront capital that could do

1:06:07

well. And so that's that's one

1:06:09

that I would go and it's like a bakery item.

1:06:11

So I would go to local mass

1:06:13

bakery producers pitch my 30, see if I can,

1:06:15

you know, minimal amount of 30, get them to manufacture.

1:06:18

I can design, like, an idea for the label. Like,

1:06:20

I can do that all pretty cheap. But,

1:06:22

like, developing and building a product is another

1:06:24

one that that will work a couple hundred thousand

1:06:26

dollars and that's building like an actual like

1:06:29

product. And so

1:06:31

I I think I'd probably go surround myself

1:06:34

and do like an app or something to be honest with

1:06:35

you. That's the hardest, but it's the one that

1:06:38

can scale and make you the money the fastest. That's

1:06:40

in

1:06:40

I was actually gonna ask you about, like,

1:06:43

the the rich just

1:06:45

continuing to make more money

1:06:46

and -- Mhmm. -- more. And it just seems like 30

1:06:49

keeps talking about, like, this recession and,

1:06:51

like, you know, we're in hard times right now.

1:06:53

And do you think that that's true?

1:06:56

Like, 30 that have money are gonna

1:06:58

just make more and it's just like more

1:06:59

dividing? Well, it's it's weird right now because

1:07:02

I feel like the average person

1:07:04

recession hasn't hit them as hard yet.

1:07:06

Like, it's and and I'm not the

1:07:08

average person, but, like, I try to talk

1:07:10

a lot with the average person. Like, wage inflation

1:07:13

has happened, right, but wages have increased really

1:07:15

strongly over the last few years. It's really

1:07:17

easy to go and find a job. Like,

1:07:20

to me, I don't think the

1:07:22

general population has has felt the recession

1:07:24

is hard. They've definitely felt inflation.

1:07:26

But but like when you talk to business

1:07:28

owners, they're like, it's weird. That

1:07:31

employment's like this, but like

1:07:33

my construction businesses, like 30 business

1:07:35

owner I talk to is struggling. And

1:07:38

and it's and they're facing challenges. But

1:07:42

the employment market is kind of jading

1:07:44

how it is because there's still such a need in

1:07:46

the service sector. And so

1:07:48

it's this weird thing that has to catch

1:07:50

up at some point. I I think that

1:07:53

recession is is hurting the

1:07:55

top level 30 right now and spending is decreasing

1:07:57

there and then ultimately I think it's gonna affect everybody.

1:08:00

It's it's hard to kinda quantify

1:08:02

that or explain it, but I it feels like

1:08:04

something's coming. Oh, you think it's

1:08:06

continuing to get worse? I mean,

1:08:09

yeah, like, it doesn't it doesn't feel like

1:08:11

it's getting better. Like, inflation's still

1:08:13

a little crazy. Yeah. It

1:08:16

doesn't feel like it's getting better anytime soon.

1:08:18

We just did a vlog 30 where where we went

1:08:20

to my old all my old apartments

1:08:22

that I grew up and I grew up in like eight different buildings

1:08:25

30 visited four of them. And first of all, I was

1:08:27

shocked at how, like, the living

1:08:29

conditions. One of them was nicer, like,

1:08:31

one of them gentrified. And the

1:08:33

other three were like, wow. Like, this is it was probably

1:08:35

worse actually when I lived in there because those cities

1:08:37

have come up a little bit better. But

1:08:40

then I asked them for their rent and we paid their rent

1:08:42

for that month and I was like, wait, you're paying

1:08:44

fifteen hundred bucks a month for

1:08:46

a dumpy two bedroom apartment. That's how much

1:08:49

it is. I don't know what it is in Minnesota. In

1:08:51

this county, even for a dumpy apartment,

1:08:53

it's fifteen hundred bucks for a nine

1:08:55

hundred square foot two bedroom. I'm like,

1:08:58

I can't imagine my parents affording

1:09:00

something like that. I mean, my dad was making thirteen bucks

1:09:02

an hour when we lived in those apartment buildings. That's

1:09:04

when he he got that job when are also pleased

1:09:07

because I think he was making nine bucks an hour

1:09:09

prior to that sporting A44 kids.

1:09:12

It shocks me how much rents have gone up. Like,

1:09:14

I'm glad we do those logs because I learn

1:09:16

more about the struggles that people face and

1:09:19

and I think that it's scary how much

1:09:21

rent's gone up, how much mortgages have gone because of rising

1:09:23

interest rates and, you know, maybe people are

1:09:25

feeling it. Although recession

1:09:28

usually means you're losing job, you're you're

1:09:30

your wage deflation, it's harder to find a job,

1:09:32

but wages are down, like, I don't think we've seen that

1:09:34

part yet. I think we've just seen cost of

1:09:36

living go up, but if cost of living

1:09:38

stays where it is 30 people are starting to lose

1:09:40

jobs, then god help everybody. Who

1:09:43

knows? Hard to

1:09:44

tell.

1:09:44

Yeah. I guess, for us, it's like

1:09:46

it it's not really worth thinking

1:09:48

about it or worrying about

1:09:49

it. So we might as well just keep on keeping

1:09:52

on it. Yeah. We just People are always going

1:09:54

to 30 watch content. It doesn't cost them any

1:09:56

money to to watch a YouTube video at the end of

1:09:58

the

1:09:58

day. So if

1:09:58

you're if

1:09:59

you're keeping them busy and entertained, then then that's a

1:10:01

win. 30 have been trying to kinda diversify,

1:10:03

though, and and invest. Like, I know so these

1:10:05

two have rental properties and have been looking,

1:10:07

but that's kinda why I was also asking. I was like, is

1:10:09

a bad time to wait till it goes lower.

1:10:13

know, right now, I wouldn't buy.

1:10:15

I think that there's gonna be a little bit it's it's kinda

1:10:17

the same thing you peg where they were. Like and

1:10:20

properties are different than cars because cars

1:10:22

always go down and then they get to a point where

1:10:24

they go back up. But it's like, when they're twenty five

1:10:26

years old, they're they become a collectible and

1:10:28

then they go back up. Properties should always

1:10:30

go up like two and a half to three percent here. I think

1:10:32

the the average rate of increase is right around

1:10:35

30. If they've popped twenty

1:10:37

percent in the last two years, like, something has

1:10:39

to especially at rising interest rates, something has

1:10:41

to correct. They may be

1:10:43

at their best correction level. Because

1:10:45

if you look at like o eight, there was huge

1:10:47

crash. And so there was a lot

1:10:49

of making up to do because the crash took them way

1:10:51

below what they actually should have been. And I bought a lot of

1:10:53

my properties way cheaper than they

1:10:55

really were worth at time. So

1:10:57

I don't I think some of that was corrected. It

1:10:59

the market may not correct much more than it has.

1:11:02

I think I read something that 30

1:11:04

bills are down five to ten percent or Americans

1:11:06

have lost five to ten percent of total property value

1:11:08

that might include commercial and residential. In

1:11:11

the last, like, six or eight months. So they've they've gone

1:11:13

down. K. Some 30, maybe not.

1:11:15

And that might be where it stops. It's

1:11:17

just hard to know. But, like, I look

1:11:19

for I look for bubbles both ways. Like,

1:11:22

that's that's kinda what like, did they drop ten,

1:11:24

fifteen percent? Like, did was there some?

1:11:27

Big recession that finally really hit.

1:11:29

They've identified it. Now

1:11:31

30 are foreclosing 30. It's like, that's

1:11:33

that's when I buy because I know. And then

1:11:36

properties increased twenty, thirty percent

1:11:38

in the course of two years. Like, I know they're

1:11:40

pretty strong right now and something's gonna correct. Like,

1:11:42

that's that's when I focus most of my buying efforts, but you

1:11:44

should still continue to buy a machine because you could still

1:11:46

make as long as you target to make seven eight

1:11:48

percent, like income or whatever, some people

1:11:51

want twenty percent then

1:11:54

you you really can buy it anytime if that's

1:11:56

your

1:11:56

goal. Yeah. Just make a little bit of cash

1:11:58

flow on it, and then you can always refinance Yes.

1:12:00

Yeah. And that's important to know now.

1:12:02

Like, a lot of people are scared about buying homes,

1:12:04

like, interest rates will come down. It might

1:12:06

be five years. It might be two years.

1:12:08

But you can always

1:12:09

refinance. Yeah. That's a funny thing about,

1:12:11

like, where we're at now? We're finally

1:12:13

making money and and the business is doing good

1:12:15

--

1:12:16

Yeah. -- a

1:12:16

little bit of money 30 Well, you know,

1:12:18

like like Yeah. No. Definitely a

1:12:20

little bit of work for you. But

1:12:23

now I'm trying to find a house to buy a house

1:12:25

and I'm like, of course. Now now that

1:12:27

I'm trying to buy a house, it's like nine

1:12:29

percent interest rates

1:12:30

and, like, prices are around us. They're

1:12:32

still ridiculous, but the mortgage

1:12:34

for a half million dollar home

1:12:36

back then is the same as, like, a three hundred thousand

1:12:38

dollar 30.

1:12:39

Yeah. It's a month payment. Yeah. It's

1:12:41

crazy that, like, now you have to get that you have

1:12:43

to settle for that three hundred thousand dollar homes.

1:12:45

And I say that around here because three hundred thousand dollars

1:12:48

about the one of the lowest values you can get for

1:12:50

a home out here. 30. Like,

1:12:52

if you bought a home mid twenty

1:12:55

twenty, Q2Q3

1:12:57

of twenty twenty, you you did real well.

1:12:59

You had two and a half percent interest rates.

1:13:02

You had, like, low, low value

1:13:04

right before they popped. Even a little later

1:13:06

than

1:13:06

that, everyone would tell you all you're such an idiot.

1:13:08

Worse

1:13:09

time to buy a house ever, and then now look, it would

1:13:11

have been a great time to

1:13:12

buy. So

1:13:12

it's kinda how That's

1:13:13

how it goes. Yeah. And we moved we moved into our

1:13:15

current home in April of twenty one, and I sold

1:13:17

my my house that I

1:13:19

was in right around then. And I'm like, Right

1:13:22

then, I'm like, kid had already went up to ten

1:13:24

percent. I'm like, I I gotta sell this, like,

1:13:26

as soon as possible. And then a year later, I'm like,

1:13:28

that house went up another hundred AM. Like, gosh, man.

1:13:30

Like, I would just hang on to that. But at the end of

1:13:32

the day, I still made more than I paid for it. So I I

1:13:34

can't think about it that way. That was, like, the first

1:13:36

property I sold that kinda triggered

1:13:38

Mhmm. -- the rest of them. But still made

1:13:40

30, and that's what's important. What

1:13:42

about the Florida home? You have a you built house

1:13:44

in Florida that you were just sold right

1:13:46

away. Right? No. It's it's still

1:13:48

it's up for sale, but every

1:13:51

there's, like, three buyers that are ready to go. They

1:13:53

just want a certificate of occupancy. So it's still being

1:13:55

built. I just got a picture of it 30 last night

1:13:57

and looks like ninety eight percent of the way there. So it's

1:13:59

supposed to have a COI in a a

1:14:01

week or two, and then I expect it to sell right away.

1:14:03

My wife just didn't like the layout. Like, I rushed her

1:14:06

through it and shouldn't have I don't

1:14:08

know why I did. 30 with me is like,

1:14:10

let's like when I get fixated

1:14:12

on something, it's it needs to get done and it needs

1:14:14

to get done quick. My wife has done a

1:14:16

great job, like, especially when it

1:14:18

comes to sex. Slowing me not not just

1:14:20

me. 30

1:14:22

gotta realize that's what she said in. I I know. I

1:14:24

know. Yeah. Yeah. I set myself for them. But, like,

1:14:26

everything else we've done 30, but, like, she does

1:14:28

a great job being, like, alright, just stop and, like,

1:14:30

think about this. And and I should have listened

1:14:32

to her on this house because probably would have ended

1:14:34

up keeping it, selling her other one down there, and it

1:14:36

would have been a really cool house. Like, it is still a great

1:14:39

house. She just it just doesn't flow the way that

1:14:41

she likes it. So I'm not

1:14:43

gonna go and make that our vacation

1:14:45

home if she's not happy with it, but there's plenty

1:14:47

of people that love the home the way that

1:14:49

it is. So we'll keep our

1:14:51

smaller one down there and we

1:14:54

will sell off that one 30 thousand square

1:14:56

feet. It's like I sorted. I just went

1:14:58

and looked online in Florida for all the homes.

1:15:01

And I started price down, and that was, like,

1:15:03

the thirtieth most expensive, which

1:15:05

you think could be even higher than that, but it was thirtieth most

1:15:07

expensive home in all of Florida. I'm like, holy

1:15:09

god. That's for sale. That's for sale.

1:15:11

Nah? Yeah. How much? It's

1:15:13

like right around nine million bucks. We're gonna

1:15:15

sell that, and then we'll figure out what's gonna happen from

1:15:18

there, but we'll probably just stay in the other home that we

1:15:19

love. Mhmm. And that's right around the corner from that.

1:15:22

Ship

1:15:22

request down there. Sometimes 30 shut my fry

1:15:24

down there for a little My center was down there to get repaired.

1:15:26

The shop that repaired it fucking made it much worse.

1:15:29

They had it for they had it for months. At

1:15:32

the end, the guys, like, I just went through

1:15:34

your your tune version one back on it.

1:15:36

I I threw it back on from the USB.

1:15:39

And it's been running pretty good. I'm like,

1:15:41

you you took the earliest version of the tune.

1:15:43

Like, we were on tune four or five that had been getting

1:15:45

better, but it was still thrown I'm like, you reverted

1:15:47

it back to the worst tune. And then

1:15:50

I got it and immediately it goes in the limp mode.

1:15:52

I'm like, this this this guy, like, dicked around with

1:15:54

my time and he's, like, changed all the spark plugs, did

1:15:56

a bunch of other stuff that did nothing and then reverts

1:15:58

the tune and that was in Boca

1:16:00

Raton. I I almost wanna call him. I just forgot the

1:16:02

name, but it was in Boca Raton and, like, I think

1:16:04

it was Excel perform not pleased

1:16:06

with them at all. And then they have the audacity to

1:16:08

post dino videos on their page. I'm like,

1:16:11

I remember seeing an Instagram story. I'm like, Yeah.

1:16:13

You should take that balance, so I don't have to explain,

1:16:15

like, the grief that I went through from your hack

1:16:17

job on my car. So

1:16:19

that's why that was down there. And then we have a

1:16:21

few cars down there. We have a minivan and a Tesla model x down there

1:16:23

for a

1:16:24

30. Yeah.

1:16:24

I feel like that'd be the dream. You got place down

1:16:26

in Florida, and you can just bounce back and forth.

1:16:29

It's wonderful having, like,

1:16:31

annual passes for Disney

1:16:32

World. Have you guys been to Disney World? No.

1:16:35

30,

1:16:35

one time when I was a little kid, but

1:16:37

you get to experience it as an adult, like, it's

1:16:39

and I didn't get to experience it until eighteen

1:16:42

or nineteen, my wife took me down there. So I was

1:16:44

basically an adult a very young adult at that

1:16:46

point and, like, I have to go somewhere

1:16:48

twice before I really like somewhere. It's weird.

1:16:50

I think there's like a certain level of discomfort

1:16:52

whenever I go somewhere for a first time, but like the second

1:16:55

time I go down that that's the make or break.

1:16:57

And so the first time, I I kind of enjoyed it. But

1:16:59

the second time, I'm like, okay. This is like my home.

1:17:01

Right. And 30 doing

1:17:02

like, what's there to do at at Disney World? Okay.

1:17:04

So most people don't realize it's forty square

1:17:07

miles. It's gigantic.

1:17:08

Is it yeah. Isn't it its own -- I don't know. -- 30.

1:17:11

Yeah. They have their own, like, They have their

1:17:13

own, like, utility and everything and ZIP code.

1:17:15

And so it's it's four huge

1:17:17

theme parks. It is two big water parks.

1:17:19

It's the biggest outdoor shopping area that probably

1:17:21

exists in the US for golf courses like

1:17:24

twenty twenty five plus hotels.

1:17:27

30 golf, like, I'm missing a lot

1:17:29

of what else it has to offer. So

1:17:31

there's something for everybody. And even EPCOT

1:17:34

is like they have their rides, then they have the

1:17:36

world, you can go, like, walk through, like,

1:17:38

Germany and and go dine

1:17:40

in in their restaurant beer garden and have German

1:17:43

service. Mhmm. And you feel like like,

1:17:45

they're what they do is they spend a bunch of money

1:17:47

on the experience because they wanna it's kinda like

1:17:49

the nineteen eighty three Cadillac. So I'm I'm a big guy

1:17:51

with with vibe. Like vibe, A

1:17:53

place can have shitty food, but a ten out

1:17:55

of ten

1:17:55

vibe, and I will eat their

1:17:57

own. It's a big difference.

1:17:58

Now when they have ten out of ten food and a ten

1:18:00

out of ten vibe, That's that's top

1:18:02

notch. Right? Fuck it. We're getting resin.

1:18:04

Yeah. And I and I and I try to talk,

1:18:06

like, every influencer I've met is is usually like,

1:18:08

no, I haven't gone or haven't got, like, I'm like, I need to

1:18:10

make like a big trip where I just invite a bunch of it.

1:18:12

Like, not even for filming. Like, I don't wanna

1:18:15

vlog it. I just want all of you to experience

1:18:17

it. Like, I've taken a lot of people

1:18:19

down there and and I know how to experience

1:18:21

it. I know how to walk all the parks without them. I

1:18:23

don't need a map at all. I know all the 30,

1:18:25

like, don't flex like that. I'm in.

1:18:27

You I'm in. Yeah. I'm in. Yeah. I'm in.

1:18:30

So, like and and those that experience

1:18:32

are, like, Jeff with the 30 been in some of our videos, and

1:18:34

he down and experienced it my weight and like I ruin

1:18:36

him. Now he goes down there once or twice a

1:18:38

year, like, they you just realize

1:18:40

how much it has to offer, how awesome it is. And there's,

1:18:42

like, two hundred fifty plus restaurants

1:18:44

there, a hundred of them are sit down, like,

1:18:46

the average the average person doesn't know where

1:18:49

like, I know I've been to all of them, and I've been to

1:18:51

a lot of them, like, many times.

1:18:53

My son Logan has been to Disney. He's thirteen. He's

1:18:55

been at least a hundred times. Wow. Yes.

1:18:58

Yes. So but it's great because

1:19:01

oftentimes I have rewards for my flights just

1:19:03

from spending money on PetSmart Plus and other things

1:19:05

like you get rewards. Right. So flights are paid for

1:19:07

a good portion of the time. I have the home down there that

1:19:10

yes, I'm paying monthly for it. But like, it's not

1:19:12

like I'm going down there and I have to go rent a hotel. Like,

1:19:14

I have this house that's that's already bought, and

1:19:16

then I have annual passes. So you

1:19:18

you just pay for them once. So it

1:19:20

makes sense. I'm kind of already paying for this stuff

1:19:22

and every time I go down, it's it's very minimal

1:19:25

cost to me. Again, some cutback from

1:19:27

Disney here. I see it, man. Yeah.

1:19:29

I wish. And I don't 30 like, as as so many

1:19:31

people advocate for it, they they get nothing. And I

1:19:33

don't like, I just love it. They they do such a good

1:19:35

job at making you feel like you're you're

1:19:38

like, I don't know, making you feel like a

1:19:40

kid

1:19:40

again. And back to the big kid thing. Right?

1:19:42

I just feel like a a kid down there and it's wonderful.

1:19:45

That's

1:19:45

amazing. I don't know.

1:19:47

We've been going --

1:19:47

Yeah. -- probably we 30

1:19:49

hold you up anymore. Well,

1:19:49

I just wanna say one more thing. Yeah. When

1:19:52

when we first went went to custom offsets

1:19:54

-- Yeah. -- they picked us

1:19:57

up from the hotel that we were staying

1:19:59

at, but I got picked up specifically in

1:20:01

this car right here.

1:20:03

Oh, yeah. I shipped it up to the crude to bough

1:20:05

it for a week. Yeah. And we were there for that week.

1:20:07

And so they picked me up in that one. Nice.

1:20:09

And drove over to the headquarters

1:20:12

And from that moment on, I was like, this

1:20:14

is my dream car. It was my my screensaver

1:20:16

for, like, a year and a half. Wow. I was like, one day, I'll

1:20:18

buy one of 30. Yeah. But I still I still

1:20:20

wanna get one, but think it's pretty

1:20:22

cool. You wouldn't

1:20:22

got hurt at all. You wouldn't got hurt at all. You wouldn't hurt at

1:20:25

all. I

1:20:25

should've gotten that. I would've lost a lot less

1:20:27

30, but hurricanes a bigger flex car, but, like,

1:20:29

if I have two fifty k and I'm gonna

1:20:32

buy a super car, that is the one I

1:20:34

will buy every single

1:20:35

time. That's what everyone seems

1:20:36

to say. Like like, everyone that owns one

1:20:38

or has own one says, like, the best cost.

1:20:40

It is it is wonderful. I love it. Wow.
