(00:25):
Welcome to an influence peeps. Today, we're gonna get in. We're gonna
do that hybrid stuff again. Y'allseem to like that where we get into
a little bit of questions and answers. And I did some research on the
track racing versus traffic deaths, andthat's a that was about an hour and

(00:46):
a half of my life. I'mnot gonna get back that was there was
one of the statistics very hard tofind and I didn't come up with it.
Yeah, but just the funk withthe producer. We're not gonna get
into that yet. Uh. Igot an email and I flagged it so
we can talk about it later.But I want to get into it a

(01:07):
little bit early. Car meats peopleasked, is it okay to come up
and talk to you at car meats? Yeah, yes, every time unless
you want to say some stupid ship. But if you just want to come
talk, hang out, talk carsand bullshit, yeah, come say him
again. Don't come up and askMike, Hey man, I'm feeding my

(01:29):
dog this parina. What do youthink. I'll just tell it, tell
you all the same shit dog stuff. Go to Team dog dot Pet buy
the food at Mike Ryland dot com. That's it. That'll be my answer.
If you want to come ask mesomething about dogs, that's what I'm
gonna tell you. Sign up forthe online training and switch your dog over
that shit. You're still having problemsafter all that, then we'll talk.

(01:49):
Yeah. Yeah, And if youwant plumbing questions, go to the same
website. And then every bag thereis no answers to plumbing. There's a
free plumber in every bag. Yeah. Free. You just gotta find it,
like an old cracker jack ass crackincluded. Yeah hell yeah. Yeah.
So car meets, we enjoy talkingto people. Hell the last car
meet, I didn't. I don'tthink I got twenty feet away from the

(02:12):
cars. Yeah. I purposely fuckingwalked around and went and checked out the
bikes. Yeah. I asked mywife how you do that? She said,
people will be just mid centate sometimesand you just walk off. Yeah.
I just oh shit, I gotit. Hang on a second,
Yeah, this is my mom.I'll be right back. Yeah, hold
this, my phone's ringing. Yeah. Uh. Talk about dodge vipers.

(02:34):
We don't talk about them often.What are your thoughts on dodge vipers and
the reason I bring it up?It was actually a question too, but
another YouTuber street speed seven one sevengot a Calvo car. Yeah, and
I've watched, especially since t Ktwo and last year, a lot of
the Calvo stuff they build. Anamazing fucking car. Yeah, I mean,

(02:55):
for me, the what do Ithink of them? That's one one
of the few cars that growing upI was kind of in awe of,
you know, in the eighties andnineties seeing seeing Vipers that was kind of
like the American super muscle car hybridthat that was pretty hot shit and so
kind of piggybacking from a nostalgia standpointon those, I like them, I

(03:21):
still wouldn't want one, you know, to me, looks wise, I
think back then they looked cool.Now the f twelve, the eight twelve,
the Viper, the fucking Corvette priorto see eights all looks similar enough
to me to where, you know, unless you really know what the fuck

(03:42):
you're looking at, a lot ofpeople I could see mistaking one for another,
you know, which I don't like. I'm not a huge fan of
the long front engine car either,just I'm really not. I mean,
like, of all of them,I like the twelve the best, mostly
because of how it sounds and andwhat it brings to the table engine wise

(04:05):
and what have you. But lookswise, like if I'm looking at you
know, most Euro style mid enginecars versus front engine cars, I just
prefer the mid you know, yeah, mid rear quite quite a bit.
But um, you know, I'veseen some of the street street speed videos
of him and his new fucking Chameleongreen car, and it's I mean,

(04:30):
it's it's a fucking it's an engineeringmasterpiece, no doubt about it. Like
it's it's an impressive building. It'sa bad motherfucker. I just still wouldn't
want one. Yeah, I likethe way Calbo does that where they're basically
basically dual clutches to a point,I mean you're still, yeah, manually
popping it. But I mean it'sa and I had asked set up.

(04:50):
And I do like the way thatit shifts that way to that big big
lever that's real short short stroke orshort travel is really neat. But yeah,
just to me, I could seealmost like Porsche Carrera GT, like
that much fucking power in a rearwheel drive, and it's not like there's

(05:14):
a lot of driver aids in thatthing either, I could see that car
going horribly wrong really fucking quick.Yeah. Yeah, I'd like to see
Dodge coming back with a redo ofthat car if they could. Yeah,
I agree, I think they should. I mean with especially if they're getting
rid of the fucking hellcat engine.I don't know what they're gonna do,
if they're gonna put something else inor what. But well, they have

(05:36):
that Helephant engine. I believe that'seight hundred horsepower eight eighty something like that.
I'm not one hundred percent sure whatthat one is, but they could
do that if it would fit underthe hood and a dual clutch because their
partner in the viper was the VolkswagenGroup. Yeah, so you know they'd

(05:56):
be like, Okay, bro,here's this dual clutch we've been using in
the Hurricane. Mount it up toyour V ten and have fun. Yeah.
I'd like to say that redone withthe technology, with the infotainment and
all the gauges Dodges done lately.I think it'd be really cool to see
that done again. I agree.Yeah, Now, what are the two

(06:20):
key components for canine success? That'seffective training and proper nutrition fueled by team
dog brings. Those two components toyour family and best friend, the perfect
nutritional balance that results in a highermental acuity, energy, overall vitality,
and even an improved appearance. Everyproduct you will find in my company's store

(06:40):
was born from the battlefield and notfrom the boardroom. Letting my life's work
help you become your dog's hero.Let's get into this speeding thing, because
the last question we kind of letoff on was the tracks race tracks versus

(07:01):
street being on the street driving andshit like that. The deaths. First
off, can you go back tothe email real quick? Yeah? Right
there? So if we go here, if you look, I did some
research. I gave us there's fourlinks. So it's been about an hour

(07:26):
and a half messing with this andfinding the amount of pro drivers that are
class pro drivers is damn near impossible. Were there groups so you could see
there was ten thousand total pro drivers. Ever, we don't know, but
since they've been doing records, there'sbeen six hundred and fifty eight pro drivers
that have been killed or died ata track motorsport racing. That don't sound

(07:53):
like a huge number, but I'mwilling to bet there's not more than three
thousand pro drivers. Yeah. Imean again, to me, it's it's
about percentages. Yeah. So withthat said, we're talking safety, right,
is where it all got brought up? Safety? Yeah, more than
three thousand spectators and staff at thesepro events on a track, not the

(08:16):
amateur track, not the track dayswhere it's me and you and Billy the
guy who couldn't work the pro event. Yeah, at a pro event,
over three thousand spectators and staff havebeen killed, not counting the drivers.
So you're at thirty six fifty eightand the numbers higher than that, there's
not a true total on that.That's yeah, I mean, so there's

(08:39):
a couple things with that number.One, you know, a couple of
takeaways. It's it's weird that it'smore dangerous to go watch it than it
is to be a pro driver.To me, the key there is pro
driver though, is that neither ofus are pro drivers now. But if
there's six hundred and fifty eight,when is this from that's from believe it
was team fifty eight to two twentyone. Yeah, I mean, so

(09:03):
you know, to me, thelist of pro drivers over that span of
a period contrasted to how many prodrivers there have been. I'm sure,
that's a smaller number than the percentageof people dying. I could be wrong.
I don't know. I mean again, percentages are where it matters.
And you know, the population ofpro drivers back then versus what it is

(09:24):
now versus the population of the UnitedStates, and what percentage of people lost
their life in vehicle accidents versus whatthe population is. But so the thing
to keep in mind even with that, though, is this is just pro
drivers. It's not amateur drivers.It's not track day. Like to me
that that's the more important number becausethe pro drivers are obviously the very best

(09:46):
at it, and that's why Iwanted to because that's the number I could
find. With the pros, there'sno and I searched. I went through
twelve pages and there's just nothing onamateurs, nothing on the other So I
could find this number. Yeah,and if these are the best of the
best driving and there's still six hundredand fifty eight of them dying with the
worst fatalities being since two thousand andeight on, oh well yeah, so

(10:11):
it's modern day is more dangerous thanit was back in the day, probably
just because of the capability of thecars, the capability of the cars,
tracks are wearing down, the safetystuff isn't being kept up, you know
on the say, the fences andthings like that. That was just some
of what I got into. Sothat's a like I said, we don't

(10:33):
know the true number of pro drivers. I would guess there's no more than
three to five thousand since that span, which is still a huge amount of
people. Yeah, well yeah,I mean percentage was it's it's much bigger
than well. So I went throughthe list of the bottom one right there,

(10:54):
it actually shows that what they are. It's in HR eight even IHR,
which is the lower version of theNHRA, So that tells you it's
true pros. The top tier iswhere these six fifty eight are. So
in HRA, we know there's rexand the bush. We know there's rex

(11:15):
and all that stuff. Where peopleare, you know, losing their lives.
Uh, go to that car anddrivers statistics and facts. So there
is two hundred and seventy six millionregistered cars in the United States right now
and approximately two hundred and twenty twomillion that was in twenty sixteen license drivers.

(11:43):
That's a lot a lot of people. Right, can you go down
does it say the or is thatthe other link that I found. I
think it's right there. Yeah,all right, so this is the overview
of deaths in those amount of people. So thirty two thirty two thousand people

(12:13):
are killed each year out of twohundred and twenty two million. Hold on,
I got, I got it brokedown a little bit easier due to
traffic, right, that's what itwas. So yeah, thirty seven thousand
and five ninety five traffic deaths,right, because this don't count intoxicated or

(12:39):
anything. These are just traffic deaths. Yeah, nine thousand, four hundred
and seventy eight of those are fromspeeding. So a third out of two
million, two hundred and twenty twomillion, which is a higher number.
Well that's closer to a quarter actually, yeah, twenty five percent due to
speeding. Yeah, so what thehell is that? That's broken down by

(13:03):
country? But yeah, US lacksthe party, we know that. But
the alcohol is this? The otherone? Is this that first one?
Still for the second one with thestats, go back to the stats.
That's not the right one. Thisis the CDC one. There's another one
that's the third one down I believeit is. Yeah, here we go,

(13:28):
okay, so this right here andwe'll put some of these links up
so you guys can your keyboard commandoscan go even deeper in it. The
funny part is the worst places tolive Florida, California, in Texas for
traffic, which popular. Yeah,I get that. So the numbers are

(13:48):
all pretty close to what I hadas I went off of the CDC one
I think it was this one saysthirty five thousand, ninety two. Keep
going down to the speeding there wego, and then none of them are

(14:09):
really current past twenty fifteen, whichkind of sucks. Yeah, I mean,
to me, it's still recent enough. I mean, it's enough to
where we can get some stats.Yeah, I mean, I can't imagine
that trends have you know, waveredso far to where it's going to be,
you know, woefully inaccurate by comparison. But what was the male female
breakdown? Go up just a littlebit? Oh males, fuck all kinds

(14:31):
of shit up seventy But that's stillthat's thirty percent less, right, So
seventy percent of that statistic as men, which we both happened to be at
least today anyway, that's how weidentify. Yeah, So okay, go
down to the speeding again. Andthen if you go down a little bit
more, so, forty eight percentof that was people speeding with speeds over

(14:56):
fifty five miles an hour. Arethey keep in mind these are the deaths
right of nearly ten thousand speeding relateddeaths, So we're close on the numbers
still from what I originally talked about. Now, let's go down to drunk
driving real quick. The funny partwe're going to get into it just a
second. So the drunk driver's fatalitiesone death every fifty three minutes yep,

(15:26):
one death every fifty three minutes dueto death drunk driving over the past decade,
one hundred and thirteen thousand deaths fromdrunk driving. Now, let's go
down to distracted driving. Look atthose almost a million wrecks due to distracted

(15:48):
driving four point five million, areyou just saying per year, per year?
Yeah, So if we go tothis stat and the funny part is
most of these people commenting or aboutour bad driving and speeding or doing it
while they're in their cars texting,right, So yeah, I mean to

(16:10):
me, like, the big pointis is that I see it as an
emotional response most of the time,you know, when when you look at
the data, just like with alot of the stuff that I talk about
in my book, whether it's uh, you know, police statistics, drug
statistics, fucking immigration statistics, gunstatistics. You know the I think guns

(16:30):
are probably the closest um parallel becauseit's an inanimate object the same way a
vehicle is that you know, hasto be operated to kill somebody. Um,
you know, in that more morechildren from from the age of eighteen
and under, more kids drown inswimming pools every year than die by by

(16:51):
long guns or assault rifles, andand by like twenty twentyfold, right,
um, at least tenfold. Youknow, nobody's talking about filling in swimming
pools. My point with that isis that similar to speeding, is that
I get in that that one storythat you hear or this this handful of
stories that you hear about the footballplayer that was drunk doing one hundred and

(17:14):
eighty miles an hour and killed someyou know, young mom and her daughter
and dog or whatever. You know, is something that upsets people and pisses
them off and gets them emotionally charged. And I understand all that, but
that's where most of the the heatand the heartburn comes from when it comes
to stuff like that. And frankly, most issues is that look at the

(17:36):
fucking data. And you know,I'm not saying that that there isn't a
potential for that shit happening. Ofcourse it is. Uh, there's also
a potential for that happening driving inmy fucking truck under the speed limit,
you know. So, UM,I just you know, I don't think
we're ever going to fucking see eyedeye. You know, the people that

(17:56):
provide the feedback that they do showme this at six that says says otherwise
because I looked up a ton ofshit. Matt's obviously spent a fair bit
of time this week looking up thesame thing, and our stats completely independent
of one another. He didn't eventell me he was doing this. This
is the first time seeing this,and they match up in line with what
I gathered, you know, acouple of months ago when we first talked

(18:18):
about this. So, um,you know it, it's pretty plain to
see that. You know, whileI understand, you know, you can
you can have your your opinion andthink that we're assholes for driving the way
that we do. Um, youknow, and you're welcome to that opinion.
But here here's what the data says. So do we have Will you

(18:41):
be able to clip about thirty secondsto a minute of what I recorded on
that three sixty cam? Yeah?Okay, so right now, and we'll
play some music or y'all can listento us talk over it. In one
of the corner is the top ofMike's car in Mexico driving, and it's

(19:07):
gonna be thirty seconds to a minuteof him driving. It's uh, I've
watched it. I've watched it fourtimes now. I actually stayed in the
back because, you know, asirresponsible as we are in Reckless, I
had my pregnant wife and I wasn'tdriving my vehicle, so I drove slower

(19:27):
enough to keep up. And Ireally watched because I wanted to kind of
get a scope, you know,the back view of everything. And I
saw some some things. But itwasn't You, wasn't Clint, it wasn't
anybody we mainly drive with. AndI mean I saw nothing that was like

(19:47):
fuck these people? You know?And I say, we're both pretty picky
about who we will and won't drivearound with. Hell, we got one
little asshole that rides with us.He can fun can drive. But uh
yeah, so we'll put that inthere. Uh. I would say for

(20:48):
the most part, Mike, Mikesaid, we're gonna have to just agree
to disagree and go from there.I mean yeah. I mean again,
it's an open forum. Like we'reknow, nobody's making us have this podcast.
We talk about what we talk about, and you know, like to
be fair, you know, weput it out there and we shouldn't be

(21:08):
surprised if there's people that that takeissue. I've been doing podcasts and talking
publicly long enough to know that nomatter what you say, there's always going
to be people that think you're anasshole, or that you're wrong, or
that that you're fucking doing it wrong, or you shouldn't be you know,
fill in the fucking blank. Imean, that's always going to be the
case. So I do respect youknow, your ability to offer feedback and

(21:33):
give your opinion. That's what thiscountry is all about. And I would
never want anything otherwise. On thesame token, uh, you know,
if if you have the ability todo that, we have the ability to
respond, and I'm happy to keepan open dialogue on it, but that
you know, that's how how wefeel about it, and uh, you
know, you're welcome to tell uswe're assholes, but yeah, we are

(21:56):
an assholes. Oh yeah, soI did like I said, I did
some research. I told you lastweek, you guys, last week,
I was gonna do some research onit. And that's the numbers I came
up with after spending a good hourand a half and I off and on.
I looked at it throughout the weektoo, so it wasn't just an

(22:18):
hour and a half, but Igot other shit going on. So an
hour and a half of my timeand going through multiple, multiple pages of
sitting looking at stats from actual governmentagencies, not us making shit up with
a post it note. Yeah,which I did have some shit on a
posting note. I was drawing graphsand shit. Yeah it's wild, but

(22:40):
yeah, so there's gonna be shit. And the crazy part is hobbies.
There's a lot of hobbies out therethat are dangerous, right, Shooting guns
sometimes that can be just as dangerousas going out for our Saturday morning drives.
I've been at the range, localrange with range masters, you know
out there supposed to be watching thefiring lines and all that, and no

(23:04):
ship. My wife's freaking out andwe're like, bitch, what's wrong.
She's freaking out? And no shit, we see this dude on a live
range walking halfway down. Yeah,on a live firing range. Yeah.
I mean to me, I thinkwith anything, whether it's gun ranges,
vehicles, what what have you,is that you know, anytime it's like,

(23:25):
oh, I live in this cityand this happened, Like you know,
that's as textbook anecdotal as you canget, you know, So to
me, look at the data.So like in this case, you know,
fucking I think you know, ifBilly Bob the producer back there,
Google's uh you know accidental um gunrange deaths per you know, per annual.

(23:47):
Uh you know, Like to methat that tells you how dangerous it
is. Not I've been to abunch of ranges and there was a bunch
of crazy shit happening. Or Ilive in Detroit and this happened, you
know whatever. I mean, nothingpecking on Detroit. I'm just saying,
you know, like that that's uhtwenty twenty one, four hundred ninety two

(24:07):
people unintentionally, right, So that'san anomaly, right, Um, you
know, But but to me,that that's the important way to look at
any issue, whether it's drownings,gun deaths, vehicle accidents, drug overdoses,
child trafficking, pick any of theman. That's one of the big
things I learned in the research donefor the book on Fuck America is that,

(24:30):
and that's such a big reason whyI wrote it, was that there's
a lot of things in the mediathat get uh, you know, spoon
fed and portrayed as being these hugedetriments to our society, when when data
wise, they just aren't. Youknow, it's not to say that,
um that think you know, everylife doesn't matter, it does. You
know. However, when you're talkingabout a collective group of three hundred and

(24:53):
thirty five million people, um,you have to look at, you know,
the collective average of what are theten or twenty you know, biggest
detriments or threats to our society's existence, And the reality of it is deaths
from speeding isn't one of them,right, COVID isn't one of them.

(25:15):
Fucking assault rifles aren't one of them, and fucking drowning isn't one of them.
You know, opioid overdoses is oneof them. Heart disease from eating
like shit is one of them.Cancer from shitty lifestyle choices and environmental factors
is one of them. Right,So you know, to me, it's

(25:36):
not that you you don't try totackle the other things. But I think
it is important to put the amountof coverage, emotion, and anecdotal outrage
that accompanies most people's comments when itcomes to forums like these about having such
an emotional and emotionally driven response tocertain things that I think you just need

(25:59):
to die back a notch on onsome of those things. So, yeah,
I don't want to be on thesoap box all fucking day, but
uh, it's important to do yourresearch and from multiple sources before you start
getting all wound up. Yeah.Yeah, I got some of this ship
from the Disney channel, Fucking Disney, speaking of which I was watching some

(26:25):
fucked up deal on Disney. That'swhat gotten me on that I want to
get into Disney. That's a wholeother episode that places fucked up. It's
a shame, I don't, youknow, I don't want to get all
the way into it, but youknow, Disney is such a neat place.
I hate to see that it's gettingdrug into, you know, the
culture war that exists. Um,I just I don't know why corporations have

(26:45):
to get involved in any of it, you know, Um, I really
don't. I wish businesses would juststay in there fucking lane. And I
mean that's my business. Like youdon't see me on my business pages talking
about this is what I believe beenand here at corporations such and such,
you know, we believe like justmake a good fucking product and shut up

(27:07):
about it. You know. Well, you think about that Twitter move today,
Elon by it. I think it'sawesome. I hope he buys the
whole fucking platform. Yeah, Imean he's the majority share owner at this
point. I mean not over fiftypercent, he owns like nine to nine
in change, but he owns themost, which means from a board of
directors standpoint, he's the biggest dickat the shareholder table, you know,

(27:29):
which is pretty awesome. I wonderwhat Jack Dorsey thinks. I know he's
not the actual CEO of it anymore, but yeah, I'll be curious to
see how that how that pans out. I like theme, have you seen
the mame where it's someone cutting cake? It's like, do you want a
piece of cake? And it's gotthe Twitter deal on it, and it's
a small piece and they grabbed thewhole cake and this is Elons everybody else

(27:53):
and it's just that piece. It'snotthing awesome. Yeah, yeah, I
hope it. I hope we getpeople like him who actually fixed some of
the social media bullshit we're dealing with. Yeah, and that'd be kind of
cool. Uh, let's look intosome of them questions and answers because that
could get that could get kind offun. Or on I'm looking at something.

(28:18):
Look, yeah, you're getting inon that. You're getting in on
that homes last, Uh, justare you gonna click on the motherfucker?
Or are you just gonna scroll?Yeah? What not that one? Damn,

(28:40):
Travis, the fuck's roma. Yeah. Yeah, this is the stuff
I like doing. I love whenyou guys get involved with the show the
question and answered. I think onboth shows we kind of like, yeah,
dealing with this, Um, that'sgonna be a you thing. All
right. I'm a crossover fan orI'm a crossover from Mike Drop and loving

(29:03):
a car show that is real asMike Drop. Well, I appreciate it.
Yeah, we appreciate it. Thisquestion is directed a bit more at
Mike, if you had to pairthe personality of working breeds malanaw, German
shepherd, Dutch shepherd, etc.To the personality of a sports car,
how would they match up. That'sa really interesting question. M That's tough.

(29:25):
I will say there are certainly someparallels. I think working breed wise,
you know what's neat and interesting aboutand I will say Malinow's German shepherds
and Dutch shepherds from a working standpointis the same breed in my opinion.
Now, there's going to be peoplethat probably lose their fucking mind at hearing

(29:45):
me say that. That's just howI view it. And the reason why
is it my selection criteria, Mytesting is the same whether it's a German
shepherd of Malanmawa or a Dutch shepherdfor that matter. If a fucking giant
Schnauzer passed that test, that dogsas an individual is not going to be
much different, really almost any differentthan a Malan moosh ephard, Dutch shepherd,

(30:06):
what have you. Because my testingis so specific and so thorough and
so criteria driven, the dog thatpossesses all of those tools in one package
are all going to be really reallysimilar dogs personality wise. Now having said
that, that collective working breed orbreeds I would say, are are kind

(30:29):
of similar to I mean, herewe go talking about the peace. They
again, really any really well roundedcar that can kind of do everything well.
You know, a good working herderwill say, you know, malmosh
Ephord, what have you of?The herding breeds is really a good jack

(30:49):
of all trades, utility dog.You can use them to hunt with,
you can use them for protection tracking, you know, ratting or you know,
small animal hunting, vermin or quarrydispatch, etc. There's a lot
of things that you can do withthem. You know that they can do
just about any job fairly well.So they're very utilitarian that way. They're

(31:14):
also fast, they're agile, they'relight on their feet. Um you know,
so I think you know, that'smore of like a euroexotic, a
mid engine euroexotic that handles well asfast, it sounds good. It kind
of brings all of those things tothe table. The muscle cars, I
would say, are more like rottweiler'sum, you know, a bigger or

(31:36):
even like a Molosser breed. Iyou know, most people maybe would think
pitbull I don't a working bread pitbullis also very utilitarian, very athletic,
light on their feet, etc.A little more muscily that way. Um.
But maybe maybe i'd say like aCorvette, you know, a good
Corvette as zer one or uh youknow, a later model zero six,

(31:57):
a little more track focused corvet that'skind of a hybrid, would would be
more of the pit bull. Andthen uh, you know, the big
sluggers would be the molosser breeds,the mastiffs, the Rottweilers or whatever would
be the uh, um would bethe American muscle, the Challengers, the
Chargers, the Mustangs, m Camaros, you know that the newer ones that

(32:19):
that way. Um. As faras like a truck, I'm trying to
like, what what breed would atruck my corgy truck like a dump truck?
Uh yeah, I mean to me, just a good general purpose hunting
dog maybe. Um. And againthese are working bread not just ones that
you find in in papers, butyou know coonhounds or or lurchers or catch

(32:40):
dogs or uh you know kind ofthe the general purpose rugged hunting breeds that
that you know, especially more herein the South, that that people use
even dogo uh Argentinos. You know, things like that would probably be more
more of your truck. But umprius, I think you know the little
toy bree that aren't good for awhole lot except companion animals, smart cars,

(33:05):
fiats fuckers always just laying around likethey're on their charger. Yeah,
no shit, that is a reallyit's an interesting question and admittedly something I've
never thought about, So cheers toyou on that. I like that question.
Yeah, next one, you goahead on that. The general question
here. I love the sound ofa powerful car. What car? What
cars have the best sound? Toyou? What do you think about having

(33:28):
speakers recreate the sound in an electriccar? I think those electric cars cannot
recreate the sound of our favorite cars, and I think it's weird. I
wouldn't do it. I mean toeach their own. If that makes you
feel how you need to feel drivingan electric car, then have at it.
I wouldn't do it. If Idid have an electric car, I
wouldn't pipe sound in it. I'drather have the real thing. Either either

(33:52):
have the electric car or don't.To me, it's kind of like vegans
that make fake hamburgers. It's likeeat fucking tofu as tofu with whatever reasoning
on it. Don't make it lookand smell and taste like fucking meat.
If you're not gonna eat it,don't eat it. As far as the
uh, I don't know why you'regetting rid of the question. We ain't
done answering, Johnny, Yeah,yeah, shit, start calling you fucking

(34:14):
female names here in a minute,Martha. But the to me, the
fucking either the evented Door V twelveor the Ferrari V twelve. I don't
think you can you can really bea mean and eight twelve super Fast or
an Evented Door SVJO. Those twoare equally amazing sounding cars. I know
most people, a lot of peoplethat are more nerds in the car industry

(34:37):
would say the Lexus LFA is thebest sounding one. I disagree. I
think it sounds great, but Ithink that the event to Door and eight
twelve super Fast sound better. Iwill throw in a couple of honorable mentions.
The the Jaguar F Type SVR isa phenomenally sounding fucking car. Yeah

(34:58):
right back at Christine, Um theh what else? The fucking gtah,
the GT five Yeah, I meanfucking V ten, I mean the Hurricane
R eight five point two later.V ten is is no fucking slouch.
But uh yeah, there's there's alot of good engine sounding engines out there,
but Specialty, Yeah, for sure, that's that's one of the better

(35:22):
sounding too. But yeah, Ferrarithere they lost a little bit, and
I would say they picked up alot with the here's me kissing ass on
the piece to the piece to soundsdifferent than a four eighty eight. My
four eighty eight was fucking annoying todrive with a full exhaust years. I've
drove it twice now and it's notfucking annoying. I think it sounds amazing.

(35:44):
Yeah, and every time I heara video outside the car it sounds
better. Yeah, you know,and it's it's It's also one of those
cars that, while it's not likeholy shit, that's loud, it carries
like. I mean, there's beentimes where I've been driving by and you've
been, you know, a coupleof blocks away, and you're like,
god damn. Yeah. I meanfor a stock engine, especially if you're
not a huge exhaust person, whichI'm more more of an exhaust guy than

(36:07):
I used to be, but it'sstill not for me. It's not like
the first thing. I'm doing astraight pipe in and I'm not that guy.
Um. I think the piece toit sounds fucking incredible for a stock
motor motor engine, and uh,you know, just it it being what
it is, there's no reason tofuck with the sound on that. I
will say that The seven six fivealso sounds pretty fucking mean. Yeah,

(36:30):
it sounds good, but do yourselvesa favor, maybe you could clip it
in here somewhere. But the eighttwelve super Fast with an exhaust, even
either the Novotech, the Rift orthe FI exhaust sound fucking amazing. Yeah.

(36:51):
To me, that is the topbest sounding car there is. We
both those questions were awesome. Yeah, I appreciate the cross over and the
questions. That's all you chief.Yeah, what's a good GPS or tracker
for my plumbing trucks? Huh?Or some type of kill switch? I

(37:15):
can't remember what brand I use itto. Actually, this is where I
wish I would read the question,because I have one sitting and you can
go get it and I'll hold themic down. Yeah, I hold it
down. I'm gonna go grab Yeah, Well, you can move on to
the next question while he grabs thatshit, all right, Hey, guys,

(37:35):
love the show. First off,just want to say that Brandon Cantrell
is a ship bird. Just kidding. And I go way back sometime at
a previous employer question favorite cut ofsteak, riby, filet, etc.
I'll answer that first before I askedor read the second one. It's a
favorite cut of steak. Um forme, it's it's for sure a special

(37:57):
occasion meal and that it's not onethat I eat more than maybe at Christmas
or you know, birthday or somethinglike that, because of how fucking expensive
it is. But there's a companycalled low Bells out of New York that
ships fresh I will say De Braggais a close second. They're also out
of New York, but low Bells. It's the wag you rib i end

(38:23):
cap. So if you take astanding rib roast, you know, like
a seven bone fucking prime rib andyou turn it on its side, it's
got that really heavily marbled end cappiece that on a rib bi as always
the you know, the richest andbest part of the steak is that if
you take that fucking rib roast andset it on its side, and you

(38:44):
cut that whole fucking piece from aseven bone off. It's like a two
pound big slab of nothing but thatrib cap and it's off of Wagu beef.
It's like four hundred and fifty fuckingdollars for a pound and a half
of it. But that and ahalf will feed like ten fucking people because
it's so rich. Um, that'smy favorite thing to eat beef wise,

(39:07):
but again because of what it costs. It's like, you know, I'll
get it at Christmas or something,and that's really about it. But you
know, if I had to pickone like that, that is the pinnacle
of a piece of meat that Ithink everybody should should try at least once
in their life, you know.And again like if you do it for
Christmas, you can you can feeda big family with it. They also

(39:28):
have a lot of other good beefthere. Cow Kow Steaks from They're out
of Iowa actually has some really goodwag you New York strips and rabbis Um
Snake River Farms is pretty decent.Pat Lafreda out of New York is also
really good. But really, whateverwhatever cut you like best, or order
it from higher end places like thatoccasionally, and uh, and I think

(39:52):
it'll really surprise you if how muchbetter it is than going to your local
grocery store and getting stuff there.But is that that kind of meat?
We add? Uh? Probably thatship was good. Yeah, yeah,
that shop my favorite. I don'tknow why. Yeah, it's not into

(40:15):
the fatty meats for some reason.Well it's but yeah, I mean to
me, it's it's got to bereally high quality though, like I don't
I don't like really heavily marbled umbeef. That's you know, not of
a super high grade. Whether it'sI mean even even USDA Prime is different
than you know, wag you andespecially if it's like Japanese a five wagu

(40:36):
VERSUS American wagu, which is ahybrid you know, it's Japanese mixed with
like Angus or or something similar Australianwagu the same way. That's usually a
better kind of compromise for most peopleif they don't like it to be super
super rich. But to me,I would love to take uh you know,
I'm I'm gonna table that. Actuallyit's a it's a next business idea

(41:00):
that you may may hear coming fromfrom my end on the on the beef
side. But if I end upgoing down that route. I'll tell you
about the finishing process that that Ithink would be ideal, but I'm gonna
keep that to myself for now.Thoughts and opinions on pellet smokers, charcoal
or propane, keep up the goodwork. To me, pellet smokers are

(41:22):
are by far the best I like. I like charcoal the best in terms
of the flavor um, but pelletsmokers are really tough to beat because they're
mindless. They're super easy. Theytake all of the guests work and the
expertise and and fucking up of allthese different cuts of meat and projects,
which while yeah, it teaches youhow to do it and whatever, if

(41:44):
you're using stick burners side by side, you know type smokers or even barrel
smokers or um like the pit smokers, the um the oval shaped like webber.
I'm trying to think of the nameof them, but it looks like
a like an R two D twoalmost now the green eggs a ceramic,
which those have their place too,but to me that the problem with all

(42:04):
those, including charcoal. I don'tlike propane really in any regard, except
the top down ones like the autowild griller that it's more like a salamander,
or like a broiler from a restaurant. Those are cool because they don't
they cook from the top down againstthey don't flare up, and that doesn't
taste like gas because it's not goingup under your meat. Otherwise I don't.
I don't fuck with propane at all. Charcoal is a fucking mess.

(42:28):
Ceramic cookers, they're they're cool,they take forever to fucking heat up.
It's a pain in the dick cleaningup after him. And I just to
me like, I don't. Therewas a period in my life for several
years where I did a lot ofsmoking and charcoal and was ordering binto chon
Japanese fucking high end charcoal. AndI did all of that ship for years
and got very well versed at itand fairly experienced. But I don't have

(42:52):
the time, or I'm not goingto make the time. Rather, everybody
has the same amount of time.I'm not going to carve out the amount
of time that it takes to doall of that shit the way that I
used to. So to me,the pellet smoker is really good. This
thing most people are gonna count assacrilege, But I will tell you this,
no bullshit, and air fryar worksphenomenal for a steak. I would

(43:14):
say for probably the last year atleast, I haven't cooked on any fucking
thing except an air fryar. Ifyou put a good one of these steaks
that I'm talking about on four hundredfour, anywhere from nine to fifteen minutes,
depending on how thick it is,that motherfucker's got a crust on it
that you would swear came from ahigh end restaurant broiler. It is absurd

(43:36):
how well done it is. It'stotally even. There's no fucking smoke.
You can do it inside your house, on your countertop, and it's mindless,
super easy to clean up, andthey turn out fucking incredible. I
use them all the time. Imean, fish, chicken, fucking you
name it. I mean to me, the air fryars, I mean to
me, it has taken the placeof a microwave it and it's a much

(44:00):
healthier option for that too. ButKenny the producer, he can smoke the
shit out of some meat. Yeah, yeah, well we'll have to get
in and bring some. Yeah.I mean I used to do a ton
of that stuff. Like I saidit just the time that it takes.
I just don't want to carve thatamount of time out of the day to
fuck with it anymore. But yeah, I use a natural gas cooker,

(44:22):
and it's just yeah it don't Iget a better taste out of just using
one of the cast iron fucking skilletsand just cooking in the house. You
know, still natural gas, butthat natural gas for some reason don't give
it that flavor. Yeah, youknow you want unless you put a ship
load of marinades and shit like thaton it. To me, that's at

(44:46):
that point you're almost kind of justruining things. Uh, yeah, that's
it. Oh and the tracker Iuse for all my plumbing trucks is called
Geo tab Geo tab go looks likethis. Just plug it in and uh
they have a website and I don'tknow what the hell I pay for it.

(45:07):
Um, but it's pretty good.Pretty good. Shit. What are
y'alls thoughts on the OUTI RS seven, um, R S seven. That's
not the wagon, right, No, that's the one that you actually asked
about as a Yeah, I don'tlike the wagon. I like this one

(45:30):
because it's the four door sedan,but it's still considered a hatch right,
probably, well maybe I don't know, or a coup. Probably a coop,
honestly, but yeah, I thinkit's called a hot not a hot
hatch. I think it's a coop, but uh I could be. I
think the RS five is more consideredthe hatch, whereas the R seven's just

(45:51):
a saloon sedan. Yeah that's asexy bitch right there. Yeah it's to
me, it's if you want thebest looking fucking sedan. This is personal
opinion, the best looking sedan that'seasy to make fast. Matt black one
go up? Oh yeah that oneright there? Oh yeah, yeah,

(46:12):
it should looks good. That's ABTversion, ain't it. Uh yeah,
I mean just you got class withit, you got speed. It just
looks menacing still while still giving youclass in sport. I mean it's a
I would say it very well roundedsedan for speed, ability to do whatever

(46:38):
the hell you want, put fourto five people in there, haul asked
wherever you're going, and be comfortableas fuck doing it, agreed. I
mean to me, of all ofthe four door sedans, which I know
somebody asked and we forgot about thisone, strangely enough, but now thinking
about it, like if if inthis class, right in the you know,

(47:00):
well above six figure four door performancesaloon, I would say that's that
would be my top pick over theE sixty three s the M five.
Um, Yeah, I just Ithink it's h I think it's a better
mix. I think where it beatsthe other two out noticeably is in styling.

(47:21):
Performance. It's going to be similar. You know, the sixty three
and the M five are both monstercars. So is this mean it's a
similar spec, similar weight, similareverything. You just get that higher.
Yeah, but the styling on itis just it's it's a more refined aggressiveness
that the other two kind of lacka little bit. It just has kind
of that next next level of ofgood shit. Oh he us Marine Corps.

(47:46):
Thank you for your service. Yeah, thanks for your service. Yeah
yeah. On a scale of zeroto Bill Rape, how much you guys
into knives, I'd say probably athree. I love knives. Uh.
Speaking speaking of which, the twoknives I've actually got got, Bill's the

(48:10):
Huntsman I think it's called, um, the Amtac blade, right, which
is the one that I typically carry. Um, what's neat? The serial
number on this is five five six, which he pulled that aside for me,
which is pretty neat. But it'sgot a flint on the edge edge
here, and it's just a it'sjust a really nice sized fixed blade.

(48:31):
That's what I carry on me allthe time. I will say I also
carry my boy Shane with sh nine. I carry his knives a fair bit
as well his. I tend tocarry more in my truck or you know,
in my kid if I'm camp andhiking. Uh, you know,
more on on almost a survival standpoint, because they're a little bigger and heavier

(48:54):
and a little more cumbersome to carry. But but both both really really good.
Um. I'm just I'm not intothem the way either one of those
guys are. But I'm definitely intothem. And I always have a blade
on me always, no matter whatI think I have. I think I
have a knife on me more thanI have a gun on me. Yeah.

(49:15):
Same here. I always have aknife on me. I mean I
even shower with one. Yeah.Okay, it's like soap on a rope.
Okay, shit gets crazy. UhYeah, I'm not. I wouldn't
say I'm a collector, but Ihave a box full of knives, like
if I'm passing by, like,fuck, I want that knife, I'll
buy it and something I won't evenunbox it. I'll just throw it in
my box full and nye, Ihave a ship tone, yeah, something

(49:37):
that my uncle bought me, neverused steal in a box shit. Yeah,
but then I use this one likea fucking chisel a hammer and yeah
yeah. Uh. Can you guysshare how you clean your vehicles? Do
you pay someone to detail it?Waterless, wash, et cetera. It's
a little bit of all the above, a little bit of both. We
both use the same detailer h theguy he's rad he claims no shirt wearing

(50:02):
mock uh. And then when weclean, you're still using the same stuff
I'm using, right, Yeah.Yeah, I'll usually like anytime we like
Saturday, we got back, youknow, I'll use like ceramic waterless spray
and spray down the windshield in thefront because that's usually what what you know,
takes the brunt of the dirtiness,bugs and debris wise and what have

(50:27):
you. So I'll spray that downand just wipe it down with a terry
towel real quick. Um, youknow, after I drive it most of
the time, if it needs it, and then like if it's sitting there
for um for a couple of weeks, which anymore it doesn't. I mean
I usually get my done every weektowards the end of the week so that
they're ready for the weekend. That'smy preference. I just like to when

(50:49):
I get in them, they're totallydialed in and squeaky clean, and you
know that's that's how I like it. But but I do maintain them on
my own when they need it.When the dude told me what he uses
to clean a windshiel windows, man, I feel like a dumb man.
What does he use? He usesrubbing alcohol and water mixed. I mean

(51:10):
that's that's essentially all fucking windex is. I mean it's alcohol based. Fucking
will you use that now? Nostreaks on none of my ship? Yeah?
Badass? Then fuck you. Uhwhen doing maintenance on your vehicle,

(51:30):
do you guys stick with the OEMproducts and fluids or switched to premium products?
Uh? Like in the Mustag useams oil motorcraft? Uh? With
the supercars, we both I wouldsay pretty much stick to OEM especially and
the Ferrari. You'd be silly nottoo, because I mean they pay for

(51:51):
it. Yeah, so, uh, it's just better to stick with those.
Uh. I've been offered to usesome different products and supercars, and
I just haven't. Ams Oil isa great product for some of the Uh
I'm not gonna say cheaper stuff becausethat's not really correct. Uh. I

(52:12):
use Amzol and all my work bands. Uh the must thing, I would
use Amzol or Royal Purple in that. There's another brand that's local. I
can't think of it right now.Do you remember what it is, Tommy,
the local company Bobby's Engine Splooge,So it's yeah, Liquid Molly.

(52:34):
That's another good brand. UM.I definitely check them out too there.
I think they're more of an upand coming ams oil type deal. And
then the next one that's all youlike. Conutering a sixteen month GSD cause
him to become aggressive, Only ifyou do it without him being under anesthesia,
then maybe, uh man, Iwould piss out anybody off? I

(52:59):
would they generally No, Normally itdoes the opposite of that. And while
we're on the topic of becoming aggressiveand neutering and whether or not it's the
right call, I have a videoon my YouTube channel. It's several years
old. Now where I talk aboutspaying and neutering in my thoughts, just
the short answer is I'm not aproponent of doing it at all unless you

(53:23):
medically need to. And here's whyis it Just like in human beings,
hormones played an enormous role in behavior, and most people think, oh,
my dog is spastic and fucking youknow, aggressive, or likes to mark
or you know whatever, maybe Ishould neuter him and that'll fix it.
It generally does not fix it.If it does, it's going to be

(53:45):
accompanied by a host of other problems. The biggest thing also is, especially
if you spay or neuter your animalprior to them being physically and mentally mature,
then you're hitting the pause button onthat for their to their life.
Right. So if you have adog that's seven years old and still acts
like a puppy, lo and behold, he was neutered when he was four

(54:06):
months old. Go figure, Nodifferent than if you had a four year
old son and you cut his nutsoff. You know, they're they're not
going to grow into a grown assman the way that a child that does
not have that happen. Would youknow, a lot of incidents of and
I'm not a vet. I'm surethere's vets that would say I'm full of

(54:28):
shit, and I have no ideawhat I'm talking about, and I have
no business talking about what I'm talkingabout. I'm still going to say it
is that I believe that when youspay and neuter a dog before they're physically
mature, from a growth plate standpoint, one of one of the big contributing
factors to joint problems, hip,dysplasia, etc. In a in addition

(54:51):
to shitty breeding practices, but alsothat if you don't have the hormones to
help your growth plates closed properly thenand that's a clear indicator and a potential
for opening up that animal to haveproblems with their joints later on in life
with a higher incidence than they wouldif you hadn't done that. I think
just a little bit of common sensegoes a long way with that. UM,

(55:15):
I don't think that you can outout hormone good training. You know,
you should look at it from au A training standpoint where no different
than let's say you know again usingyour kids, is that you know,
one of the biggest excuses or reasonsfor not having or not allowing your your

(55:38):
animals to keep their reproductive organs isyou know, I don't want them to
have puppies, you know, spaya neuter, and be a responsible dog
owner. You know, my takeis a little different than that, and
that I think it's akin to saying, well, you know, I can't
keep my kid from running out intotraffic, so I'm gonna cut his fucking
feet off. If you can't keepyour your dog breeding, in my opinion,

(56:01):
you shouldn't fucking have one. Ireally don't think you should because it's
not that complicated. And if youhave that little wherewithal to be able to
keep your dog from having puppies,then you should get rid of it or
just never get one, because thatthat means that there's a host of issues
with how your dog ownership is going, and you're not paying near the the

(56:25):
attention you need to, nor puttingthe time in training. Wise, you
know that you really owe to thedog to to raise a happy, healthy,
obedient, safe companion animal. Soyeah, last one, Uh,
we already answered that. Go tothat other one that I sent. Yeah,

(56:52):
uh, never mind, go godown, go down. Yeah there
there it is. Okay, wealready answered about the uh coming up talking
to us at any event, carsand coffee, um, any of that

(57:15):
type of stuff. We also usean app called park up Front. If
you guys don't know about it,we'll use that. That's how we find
all the events we're going to,So I'm pretty sure they're nationwide. Uh.
And no, we're not gonna telly'all which ones we go to on
there, but that's what we use. Uh, Mike, I have a

(57:36):
sadistic curiosity of what it would belike in a bite suit? Do you
ever take volunteers for training? Sometimes? What I would say is that if
you're legitimately serious about being a decoy, then then maybe, uh, you
know, once in a while,we'll put somebody in a suit, you
know, for for the experience,but um, you know, generally putting

(57:59):
somebody that doesn't know anything in asuit, you want to put them with
an experienced dog typically and an experiencedhandler, because you know, you don't
want to have an inexperienced decoy aninexperienced dog and an inexperienced handler. That's
a recipe for either screwing the dogup or getting somebody bit unintentionally, or

(58:19):
or what have you. Where youdon't want them to get bit. And
so you know, if it's somethingthat you wanted to progress in and actually
do decoy work and what have you, then then maybe you know, if
I open up the hey, doyou want to come get in a bite
suit? Like, No, I'mnot going to put dozens of people and
have like a come get bit dayor anything like that. But um,

(58:40):
it's a neat experience. I meanit's um, it's very eye opening,
no doubt about it. It's it'sa very visceral and emotional and and humbling
experience, frankly, and that itmakes you realize how capable that they are
and how much damage they would doif you weren't in that suit. So,

(59:00):
um, you know, it isa neat experience. But but it's
one that you know shouldn't be donehaphazardly or or half asked, or or
in the manner of any of thescenarios that I just mentioned. But you
know, if you go to acar show and uh, you know,
what have you? You know,depending on what all the other factors are,
you know it's possible, but godown a little bit. I think

(59:22):
there's a third question. Maybe notOkay, all right, Yeah, so
that's it. Uh, if youcan put up a picture of what the
icon looks like for park upfront becausepeople always ask about that, so put
it up somewhere so they know lookslike a crown fuck you too. Um
yeah, clearas what the fuck.But uh yeah, guys, we appreciate

(59:44):
it. We love all the questionsanswers. We went away from the Monday
only question and answers right now,so keep doing them. We'll keep answering
them as they come in and keepdoing what we do. Thanks, guys,
check us out on all the platforms. Piece bitches,
