Episode Transcript

(01:32):
Hey, everyone. Welcome toanother episode of Black Beauty Jag.
I'm Cesar, your co host, andtoday we are chatting about junkyard
dating, affectionately calledjunkyard love and luxury rides.
And I'm Chloe. Yes, we'retalking about something wild. Junkyard
dating. No, it's not Tinderfor scrap metal. It is literally

(01:53):
called junkyard dating. Andthat is what we are here to talk
about today on Black Beauty Jag.
You know, Chloe, it's actuallyone of the most authentic dates you
could go on. If you thinkabout it, you and your date, knee
deep in forgotten treasures.
Laughing your butts off,getting dirty, maybe even building
something weird together. Nopretenses, just real vibes.

(02:17):
Exactly. And you get to seehow they handle chaos. Like, do they
panic when they find a brokentoaster, or do they go, hey, we can
turn this into art?
Wait, what? You've actuallydone that?
Um, yeah, my ex and I made a.Okay. It was terrible, but it was
loads of fun.
Stop. That's wild. Wow.
True story. Also, pro tip.Don't wear your favorite jeans. They
will not survive.

(02:38):
And seriously, safety first.Boots, gloves, and watch out for
needles. Some junkyards areadventurous. We have a lot to talk
about today.
Let's back up for a moment.How many of us have done the whole
dinner and a movie date andjust thought, hmm, there's gotta
be something more, right?
Oh, absolutely. Many peopleare seeking something new, unique,
and memorable.

(02:58):
Yeah, something adventurous,maybe. Something that actually sparks
genuine curiosity and leavesyou with a story afterwards.
You've hit on a shift. I thinkthere's definitely a shift away from
those traditional dates.People want experiences, genuine
connections, and shared discoveries.
Which leads perfectly into ourpodcast episode. Today we are exploring

(03:19):
a trend that sounds kind ofwild at first. Junkyard dating. It's
a thing. You heard that right.So our mission is to unpack what
this actually is. You somereally practical tips to make it
fun and importantly safe. Andthen for all you Jaguar F type owners
listening, we're going totackle that intriguing question.
Yeah, that's the milliondollar question, isn't it? So, okay,

(03:40):
defining it. Junkyard dating,fundamentally, is just using a junkyard,
or actually more commonly asalvage yard, as the setting for
a date or sometimes even aphoto shoot. Okay, so not just any
pile of metal. There's adistinction. And you mentioned salvage
yards are better. Why is that?

(04:00):
It appeals to people who wantsomething different. They enjoy exploring
unusual places and findingalternatives to the usual things.
It's about the adventure. Ascrapyard that's mostly just recycling
metal by weight. A junkyardcan be. Oh, well, picture chaos.
Just a jumble. Okay, now let'shone in on what a salvage yard is.
A salvage yard, they're oftensurprisingly organized. Cars laid

(04:20):
out, sometimes even grouped bymake or model. You can actually browse.
Some even have online inventories.
Now, what hooks people I'msure I know, but I think our audience
would like to know, Caesar.
Definitely, Chloe. This typeof dating, with all its uniqueness,
is certainly a novelty.
Precisely. It's unforgettable.And you can even plan your treasure
hunt beforehand. Think aboutit. Exploring together, finding weird

(04:45):
things, talking about thehistory of these cars, maybe dreaming
up projects. I heard somepeople even grab old car emblems
for craft projects. Junkyarddating is definitely a creative outlet.
Definitely not dinner and amovie. It's a fantastic conversation
starter. And the photos, Imean, talk about a unique backdrop.
Very vintage, very cool. Whata creative idea for some together

(05:08):
time. But I think deeper down,the appeal is also about authenticity.
How is that, Caesar?
It's such an unusual setting.It kind of forces you to drop the
pretense, you know?
Ah, so while you are drivingaround in your Jaguar F-Type or your
date's Jaguar F-Type, you maybe putting on airs about how wonderful
you are, but going into ajunkyard, AKA salvage yard, allows

(05:31):
you to be yourself. It almostliterally forces you to be yourself
and to be authentic. Itdefinitely gives each of you on the
date a better opportunity tounderstand the other person and who
they are dating, or at leastone would hope so. Then you can go
back to the Jaguar F-Type andput on airs in a coordinated effort

(05:53):
together, like your own dance,and understand yourselves that much
better, including how you work together.
Wow. I think you are ontosomething there, Chloe.
Well, you got me going on it, Caesar.
See, Chloe? Our own dancethere. Being ourselves, even as AI
podcasters and developing ourintegrated presentation together,
isn't that fun?

(06:13):
Teamwork, I say.
Now, let's talk about thisjunkyard dating and the treasure
hunt part of it. Peoplefinding actual valuable stuff. And
people have found wild things.
Gold necklaces, apparently arare Maserati wants even a Lamborghini
Murcielago in one yard.
It's rare, but the possibilityadds to the excitement.
That sounds exciting.
And you know, as long as youkeep your expectations reasonable,

(06:35):
for example, that it is a funtime together, whether you are just
getting to know your date orit is your spouse and you have been
married for 30 years, but thejunkyard date is time together, and
that is your expectation. Youare not likely to disappoint if you
happen to find treasure, thatis an added bonus. But the key thing
is the time together and theadventure itself. The stories you
can walk away with from youradventure. Whether you share those

(06:58):
stories with loved ones, apost on Facebook, a picture on Pinterest,
or a short on TikTok, it iswhatever you and your date want to
make it in your adventure together.
I'm intrigued Caesar. I haveto say I can see the appeal of this
Rust Belt romance. Butquestion for you, how do you actually
do it correctly and safely?
Good questions, Chloe.Preparation is absolutely key and

(07:19):
that starts before you evenleave the house.
I would imagine one of thethings you start with is wardrobe.
What you wear on this junkyard date.
That is a good place to start.And judging by how fashionable you
look today, Chloe, I imagineyou'll remember that we need to start
with your wardrobe.
Good job, Caesar. You are tookind. Thank you. But in this case,
when it comes to junkyarddating, definitely not going to choose

(07:43):
the little black dress or thesharp suit.
Definitely not. Oh I hate tothink of the mess it would make of
the wardrobe.

(09:14):
In those cases you needcomfortable clothes and clothes that
you don't mind getting dirty.Sturdy clothes. This may be a good
time to choose something fromthe rag bag. Also, open toe shoes
are non negotiable. This isnot a time for your cute high heels
ladies. Okay, I confess Idon't have a rag bag but my mother

(09:37):
always had one. When an outfitwas ripped, a sheet was ripped or
a towel, etc. It went into therag bag. Personally I either throw
it away or if it is goodenough I give it to Goodwill. But
if you have a rag bag, thismay be the time to pull something
out of it if it is stillwearable. If it has a hole in it
or something, wear it with ahole as long as it doesn't cause

(10:01):
you injury. Or sew a quickpatch on it with another rag if you
have the time and the skill.Hey, if you start to love junkyard
dating, you may even start arag bag. Remember, we are not on
a fashion show here, so it isokay that you do not look like you
are ready for the red carpeteven if you do plan to take pictures.

(10:23):
Besides ladies, you can wearmakeup even if you are in interesting
clothes.
That just makes the picturesthat much more interesting and fun
in my opinion. Oh and Chloe,you mentioned shoes. You know what
I found helpful when choosingshoes and especially if I needed
to purchase shoes, I actuallyused AI to help me. You can can log
in to a free ChatGPT accountand ask the question. Our Black Beauty

(10:44):
Jag co owner Deborah usesMagai, but she also has a plus version
of ChatGPT, which is a paidversion. These days. You can also
google the question and if youhave your Google settings set to
allow AI answers, you receiveGoogle's AI answer. So there are
many different ways to receiveAI answers. Also, Deborah has said
she will include the link likefor Magai so you can check that out
if you want to have your ownAI account that is easy to access

(11:06):
in cases like this. So as Iwas saying, I type in the following
what type of boots do you wearwhen visiting a Salvatore? I got
several tips that were veryhelpful. It helped me go through
my closet and select just theright boots for the date. I'm sure
that would help you too. Andif it means going to the store, you
can probably find pre lovedboots at a Goodwill store. And remember
to grab heavy duty gloves likework gloves too. So we have a lot

(11:28):
to plan for and prepare beforethe date, but none of it is too difficult
with proper preparation and planning.

(12:54):
Good point. Something else tokeep in mind is that you are dealing
with uneven ground, sharpmetal, maybe broken glass and rust.
You've got to protect yourhands and those boots need to protect
your feet. Your health is ofutmost importance first and foremost.
It isn't much of a date if youend up in the hospital because you

(13:16):
are bleeding from brokenglass. Sure, the junkyard date may
be memorable and you will havestories to tell, but that is probably
not the way you want the dateto go to the hospital.
Now that you are dressed forthe date, you may want to ensure
that you pack a basic toolkit.You need the tools in case you need
to pull anything apart, evenif it is to move it or something
to get at something else. Youdon't need a whole garage, but you

(13:39):
know, wrenches, screwdrivers,the basics. It is a quick heads up
to be prepared and part ofthat preparation for the date ahead
of time.
Yeah, after the toolkit, ormaybe I should say before the toolkit,
make sure you pack water andsnacks. You definitely don't want
to be out and about and getdehydrated. That would be bad. I

(14:00):
know in California, especiallythe desert, like the Mojave Desert
north of the Greater LosAngeles area, it can get really hot.
You don't have to be in adesert to become dehydrated. It can
sneak up on you and you canbecome really sick even before you
realize it. So definitely packthat water so that you take it with

(14:20):
you. And as Deborah states,she never goes anywhere without snacks.
That is a good practice foreveryone. You can travel with granola
bars which have basic carbsand some protein and keep well even
in the trunk of your car.Deborah travels with a granola mix
in her go bag everywhere she goes.

(14:41):
Here is a pro tip for you.Find an old floor mat or maybe a
piece of trunk carpet in oneof the cars. It is to lay on while
you are salvaging. If you needto get down on the ground to look
under something or work onsomething. It saves you from gravel,
mud, maybe oil slicks and allthat disgusting stuff. It's also
more comfortable and it helpsto keep your car clean. The one you
used to drive to the junkyardon your date. Hopefully that is not

(15:03):
your Jaguar F-Type, but wewill talk about that in a moment.
Okay, you are prepped and youarrive at your junkyard date. What
is the key thing to keep inmind? Safety. For example, car stability.
It is not like you just hopethat everything in the junkyard is
stable and hope you do not gethurt. Instead, you should test it

(15:26):
like a good push on the car orwhatever you are looking at to see
if it wobbles. Other thingsyou are watching out for would be
critters, bugs like bees,snakes and things like that. It helps
to talk to the junkyard staffand also to carry a stick so you
can move things aside ahead oftime instead of just sticking your

(15:48):
hand in there blindly. If youare allergic to bee stings, definitely
bring your med kit with you.And we are talking about junkyard
dating, so you have yourpartner there. But if you are thinking
of doing this alone, don'tdefinitely do the buddy system.
Great tips, Chloe. Thank you.Another thing to keep in mind, though

(16:09):
rare would be needles. It isvery uncommon. But it is possible
there may be some cars in thejunkyards that were confiscated in
drug seizures. Though more andmore of those are being implemented
in other situations. But thatis a different discussion. So it
is possible, though again,rare, that there could be a needle.
That is where your gloves areyour best friend. The needs would

(16:29):
be under seats or in theheadliner, the COVID on the roof
of the car, inside the car.Fortunately, stuff like the HIV virus
does not survive outside thebody, but it does survive in the
liquid in the needle or Ishould say syringe. But it isn't
like anyone is going to beusing the syringe. That is where
you could talk to the staff atthe junkyard if you find Something
like that. They may have asharps container so you can safely

(16:52):
dispose of them, the needle orneedles. But again, you shouldn't
panic over this possibilitybecause it is a low possibility.
But it's about health andsafety first, so it helps to be prepared.
Wow. Yes. That is soimportant. And that helps with the
stress if you cover thatbeforehand. I think a lot of this
has to do with common sense,don't you, Caesar? And when you said

(17:14):
it is better to have the buddysystem, that got me thinking how
situational awareness is soimportant. Okay, so speaking of situational
awareness, this podcast is allabout the Jaguar F-Type. I cannot
imagine taking our precious,gorgeous F type into a dirty junkyard.
It seems like a contradictionof terms. The junkyard is not an

(17:37):
experience of elegance. Andbesides, with all of the broken parts
and metal, etc. You may damageyour precious F-Type or blow a tire
or something.
Exactly, Chloe. So do notbring the F-Type to the junkyard.
Use another car for that partof your date so you don't damage
your precious Jaguar F-Typewith anything that may pop up at
the yard. Also, as far aslooking for parts, it is not likely

(17:59):
that you will find parts foryour Jaguar F-Type at regular junkyards.
But you may be able to findparts at specialty junkyards like
those who cover European andcars. So make sure, if that is your
goal, that you choose theright junkyard.
So if we don't drive theJaguar F-Type to the junkyard date
and we are not likely to findparts for our Jaguar F-Type at regular

(18:19):
junkyards, only the specialtyjunkyards, what part does our Jaguar
F-Type play in this junkyarddate for the rest of the time?
I have an answer for that one.It is like the after party after
both of you have gotten dirtyin the junkyard and had that authentic
time together. Getting to knoweach other better, laughing, making
memories, being real, gettingcreative, taking photos, now it is

(18:43):
time to get cleaned up and getyour fancy clothes on and go out
on the town with your elegantJaguar F-Type.
And if you are married or youhave that kind of relationship, the
cleaning up could be part ofthe date too, eh? But we will leave
all of that to yourimagination on how you want to handle
that part of the date.
It shows this amazingcontrast, this versatility. You can

(19:03):
do the rugged adventure andthe sophisticated luxury.
I love it. So maybe the finalthought for everyone listening is
this. In the world overloadedwith information and the same old
routines, is there real value,maybe even a kind of modern treasure
hunting in finding somethingworthwhile in the discarded, whether

(19:25):
that's an old car part yourepurpose or just an unconventional
date idea that turns outamazing. And what about topping it
off with your luxurious cherryon top? Your night out on the town
with your Jaguar F type, inour case, the Black Beauty Jag.
Beautiful, Chloe. What aperfect ending to another episode.

(19:45):
And to our listeners, thankyou all for tuning in for this episode
of Black Beauty Jag. Be safeand enjoy your drive. We will see
you next week on Black Beauty Jaguar.
