Episode Transcript

(00:02):
Garage. Willie Bee's garage is nowopening. Man, what is up?
Welcome to it, y'all, Willyby'sgarage. How we been how's everything going?
Woo? Man? At least wegot decent weekend, not like last
weekend where it's just brutal. Uh. It was brutal. I was in
Florida, Larry, Dude, dude, stop it was, man, Yeah

(00:25):
it was. It was in thesixties down there, and people are tripping
bro the same reaction to Denver atnegative thirteen, Floridians have at sixty five.
Oh man, he's just seen themmany. I need my wit of
cold. We're gonna have the lightof fire. They were like one of
my buddies lives in Arizona. Hewas rending. It was mine at six

(00:48):
degrees. I called him. Hesays, man, man, it's chili.
It's sixty five. I'm like,man, I don't want to talk
to you right too funny anyway,man, big show. That's my pedifrag
Go for it services. The thefour in that equation is the number four,
so that'll be trying to spell itout. Confuse yourself, go number
four, go for it services.All kind of tune ups on driving,

(01:14):
ripping and riding. So he's gotyou covered. Go for it, services
man. We got we've got bigshows, so some wild couple of things.
So next week we're gonna be broadcastingfrom the carride of Motorcycle Expo,
straight wild, crazy, cool show, all things motorcycle classics, all kinds
of cool stuff, just cool vibeout there in general. So we're gonna

(01:36):
be out there broadcasting live. We'llhave Scott a little bit later telling us
all about it before that if Ican squeeze in Carson from Food Dog as
my boys, so we'll have himon. But we got this dude Ted
there's so it's so crazy. Iwent down with keynote speaker last weekend at
Fort Myers for some advanced you know, Federated training and horses and all this

(02:00):
other stuff. So it was reallycool to plug into a coult people down
there and some of the big kindof things going on behind the scenes that
we're not really privy to. Whatare the big things is this massive movement
from the manufacturers, and all themanufacturers are together in this. It's not
like one is in particular like headingit up or whatever. Just across the

(02:23):
board, and I mean, they'realready doing with some European cars in European
countries. So obviously you got abig push and incentive, you know,
for German manufacturers and a few ofthose, But all the manufacturers are trying
very diligently too to lock us out, us being you know, the weakeed
warriors, the people like the tuneor work on their cars. Just the

(02:44):
guy that does general maintenance. Ifyou do oil changes to your car,
you gotta find yourself in violation ofyour what's really crazy, of your agreement
when you purchase the car. Basically, there's a big movement in the manufacturing
side to say that when you buyyour car, you don't own the services

(03:07):
of the car. You just ownthe mobility of the car. Meaning take
something, Take something really simple.Take like a seat heaters, right,
something you get in especially here inColorado, you like to fire up the
car. You like to hit thatyou know, little seat heater. Oh,
the tush is getting warmed up.That's nice, Like even inside the

(03:30):
cab can be cold. With thatbooty warm off center fields, it's just
a lot nicer, right, weall agree, it's kind of dope.
I caught fire one time. ManI had to stop drop and roll.
But that's just that's well, thosethings a nice. So say you you
just think that you want seat heatersin your car, so that's an option

(03:50):
that you buy when you buy yourcar. You you know, you make
that an option or it comes withthat. Well, here's what's crazy.
The manufacturer is because everything is youknow, it's now updated via bluetooth through
the air this that the other everythingis so computer computer not just dominated,

(04:10):
but focused on how the systems interactwith one another, how one you know,
system will communicate to another for adefault code, or or they'll just
they're always plugged into the mothership,so to speak. And because of that,
the manufacturers say, no, youdon't own the rights to those type

(04:31):
things. So if you don't saysign up or re sign up, say
you're you own the car. Youthink you own the car for several years,
but you don't read the fine printof the seat heater option goes goes
away in three years. And ifyou don't pay for an update, or
if you don't pay them for anotheryear of license agreement or that particular thing,

(04:54):
well when they update it through theair well, you won't have seat
heaters. Anymore. It's the codetush you know, de simber through March
kind of like the nav systems,but you get navs and then it's it's
for a particular time and then ifyou want that updated, you have to
pay them again. Yeah, youknow how you know, how bogus and

(05:17):
what trash garbage? You know,income property taxes are. Let's be honest,
if you pay for your house,you you pay for it, right,
It's straight idiotic that we pay theprice we do for income taxes like
what what but we already paid forthe house. Uh. But every year

(05:39):
that's how the government you know,reaches into you know, into its uh,
into its purse and grabs more money. Well, this push is just
a way then continue to do that. So there's got to be a way
to fight it than there is.And we're gonna bring this guy on to
chat a little bit about it.His name is Teddy's from Repair Repair Act
dot com. They got a wholeteam of fighting and stuff and he's,

(06:02):
man, what I've told you justtip of the iceberg. You wouldn't believe
some of the things are trying tocontrol and you know what else is crazy.
You wouldn't believe the data that yourcar collects on you every single day.
I mean, it's wild to thinkhow the manufacturers are taking that day.
Any car you're driving right now,man, any car you're in,

(06:24):
it is collecting all kinds of dataon everything from where you're going, what
you're shopping for. You know,you sync it up with your phone.
You know, it's taken every bitof data on your phone right Your car's
got access to that. And it'swild all the info that they're basically just

(06:46):
grabbing from each and every consumer,and how they can manipulate that, sell
it to third parties and all thisstuff. So there's a lot going on.
There's a kind of a big sortof it's gonna be wild. There's
gonna be collision soon, and it'sgonna be between independent shops, dealerships and
who's got the right to work onthese rides. So let's get ahead of

(07:11):
it. We'll do that with Ted. Let's take a break. We'll come
back swinging for the fence man.It's Willybe's garage, Mike Pettiford go for
his services, scoop behind the wheelsand will he be back in just a
minute's bpi. Willibe's garage. You'reback in Willibee's garage. What up,

(07:31):
guys, will it Bees Garage.Welcome to it man, hope you're doing
well. All cons cool stuff onthe show today. But hey, we've
got you serious for a minute.This is a crazy battle going on kind
of behind the scenes. But fineon the radar a little bit. But
Ted is here to kind of bringus all up the speed now, Ted,
you're with Repair Act dot Com.People don't, I truly believe they

(07:55):
don't understand the importance of what isgoing on and the battle that is waging,
you know, between manufacturers and peoplethat just want to turn the inch
on the car, turn it up, the independent shops and you know,
the the after market. There's beenso robust for so many decades for so

(08:15):
many people. So welcome to show. Ma man a right, Willie,
Thanks thanks for having me on.Yeah, this is you can't you can't
understate the importance of what's at hand. And so, as you mentioned,
repair Act dot Com go there.It's an initiative led by UH the aftermarkets
trade associations, the leading trade associationsto that are that are really there to

(08:35):
protect consumers and vehicle owners and especiallythe technicians and those the four and a
half million people that make their livingin the independent aftermarket. And for those
that don't know, Willie, theaftermarket is basically anything on the vehicle after
you leave the dealership lot. Soyou're talking about go to sensor replacements,
spark plug wires, I mean,anything under the hood, under the vehicle.

(08:58):
All of that is what encompassed inthe in the independent aftermarket. So
you're you're talking a massive, wideswap of of anything and everything that you
generally would do. You know,I know plenty of people on their new
cars that had no problem bringing itin changing oil or doing breaks or you
know, code air intakes and performanceupgrades, doing o two cents or all

(09:20):
that stuff. But if this goesthrough, then that along with independent shops
and being able to take a carto the shop you trust, and you
know, it's a it's gonna bea whole different world. Yeah, you
know, we're not we're not necessarilytalking about the cars from the eighties or
the nineties. You know, thisisn't necessarily going to pertain right now to

(09:43):
to a lot of what maybe whatyou do for for your your fantastic cars
for Christmas program, this is thisis more on on the more modern vehicles
where you have the the onboard uhtelematic diagnomtics, the computer controlled stuff.
Yeah, and you know, reallycame to critical mass in the last fifteen

(10:05):
years or so. The stuff thatyou have to have, the diagnostic data,
you have to have repair data tobe able to fix the vehicle there
and that repair data is what theoees are trying to keep to themselves,
right that. I'm telling you,man, I have a really cool Bosh
scanner. And if it weren't forthat scanner, and I'm talking this is

(10:26):
a seven thousand dollars scanner, ifit weren't for that scanner, all these
cars because the cars I gave way, the average car this year for cars
for Christmas was probably twenty fourteen,twenty fifteen, so something like that.
So there's not a car that weworked on. Actually that ninety three Saturday'm
givaway today we didn't need. Weused the scanner, but it wasn't essential.

(10:48):
But almost every car I give awaynow for cars to Christmas is so
computer based. You have to havea scanner, you have to have something
to read and talk to those systemsbecause you can run you know, you
could run testing it. You coulddo you know, you can go and
all tell and get parts and whatthe recommended you know, procedure is for

(11:09):
it what to sort of tackle first, Like it is critical to have all
this data because it's not you're justkind of lost because there's about eighteen different
directions you can go to try totackle a problem. Being able to get
in to talk to the computer systemsallows technicians and you know, people riching
on the cars to find the problemand attack it beyond just throwing parts of

(11:31):
stuff. Right, And imagine ascenario where any person that owns a vehicle
that's outside the warranty window, theowly warranty window, whether you're talking three,
five years, whatever it is,you've always taken your vehicle to your
neighborhood technician shop owner, go in, they know you by name, you
know them by name, you trustthem, go in and you you drive

(11:52):
your vehicle right into the bay andthey say, sorry, Willie, we
can't work on this one. Wedon't have access to the data that we
need. And you know, it'sreally a direct shot of freedom and having
that ability for vehicle owners to havetheir vehicles fixed any place and any time
and in any way that they wantto so elaborate a little bit as to

(12:16):
what's happening, who's kind of behindit, and you know what happens if
we don't do anything. How fastis this coming? Yeah, So so
we talk about we talk about theyou know what the Repair Act represents,
and it was introduced in the Houseof Representatives in Washington early last year and

(12:37):
it's gaining momentum. There's currently thisis a non party You can think about
anything in Washington, it's got tobe partisans. This is completely nonpartisan.
It was introduced and it was cosponsored by a Republican and a Democrat,
and since then it's picked up fiftysupporters in the House of Representatives, twenty
five Republicans, twenty five Democrats.Okay. Hr nine h six is the

(12:58):
bill, and that's what we callit, the Repair Act. Right to
Equitable and Professional Automotive Industry Repair.And what that means is that it guarantees
that the the OE vehicle manufacturers newcar manufacturers have to share that that that
UH repair information with the independent aftermarket. What what it comes down to,
there's there's a you know, fourfactors really costs repairs in the independent after

(13:24):
market are on average thirty six percentcheaper than they are at the OEI dealer.
Yeah. Pause, pause on thoughtthree, because I want to make
sure the the understanding of part twothere. When he says it's thirty six
percent cheaper, I feel like thatis an older stat. Then then what

(13:45):
is currently happening out there right now? You guys, I'm telling you man,
it is. I'll be honest,it is. It's almost sad in
a lot of ways where repairs andhow expended to repairs have gotten. You
know, I was crushed this yearby a woman who's she had to give
up her car. She took outa loan for her. She had a

(14:07):
jeep and it needed ball joints andbreaks. And this was a you know,
just a regular shop. You know, I don't't name a shop,
but you know, take for example, your your Goodyear, your you know,
your less Schwab things like that,right, this was just ball joints
and breaks. And the bill wasfour thousand, thirty seven dollars. That's

(14:28):
easy. And I'm like, ohmy god, who can afford that?
Man? And look ball joints andbreaks, you know, shout out to
my guy's cars. Of Christmas.We do that. Hell, we do
that on damn near every car.It's it's amazing how much and how expensive

(14:48):
parks and repairs have become so anyamount of money. When he says thirty
six thirty seven percent, really i'dsay it's closer about forty five percent nowadays.
And you are already talking to building'sthousands of dollars for general repairs that
that are very common on cars Likethat is a common, you know,

(15:09):
procedure for a lot of vehicles outthere, because it's just you know,
the roads and conditions they're in nowadays, you're going to wear through breaks and
ball joints. So that's a lotto put on somebody's shoulders. And if
they can save two thousand dollars ona repair, that's a general repair.
God. People need that. Familiesneed that absolutely, especially with the economy
the way it is today. Itkeeps cars on the road, keeps people

(15:31):
the ability to go to work andput food on the table, the kids
go to practices and whatnot, andlook who, look who's that? Who
is that affecting the most? Likewhen you step back from a thousand feet
on a macro level, it's thepeople that are barely making their budget anyway.
It's the people that that you know, don't have the money to get

(15:52):
you know, snow tires or havethe money to you know, fix the
brakes when the squeak indicators is youknow, starting to up there. These
are the these are the people thatby all means, can get really busted
by big time expenses like this.Sometimes. You know a lot of the
stories we get for cars to Christmasthat people had to forego their car because

(16:15):
they couldn't afford a repair on it. So it tells you a lot and
going through a dealership is just gonnaget worse because right now you can say
they're forty percent higher. But whenthey when they're the monopoly, what do
you think is gonna happen to prices? You know, it's gonna go it's
gonna go higher, and a lotthere's never in a single time throughout history,

(16:36):
there's never been a time where acompany had a monopoly where the prices
went down. They'll go down,they'll go down to put the hook in
your mouth. And then when allthe competition's gone, they're blowing through the
ceiling. You know, and youknow what you know, in another casualty
of it is competition. Competition makeseverybody better, from parts quality to the
convenience factor. I mean you're justtalking about the cost side with the with

(16:59):
the OE dealer. How about theconvenience. I mean, if you have
a car it's under warranting, youneed to get it in. You're looking
at two weeks, four weeks,sometimes six weeks to get your appointment at
the dealership. And here's a statfor you, Willie, seventy percent of
repairs vehicle repairs outside of the warrantywindow are done in the independent aftermarket.

(17:21):
So if you think four weeks,a month, a month and a half
is a long time to get anappointment, imagine what it's going to be
when you can't use the independent aftermarketanymore. Right, this was the first
time I heard of this today,and I was shocked. In addition to
all the other information that you're givingus, also the probability of this actually

(17:41):
happening, I would appreciate. Yeah, I'm scared. It's brutal, man,
and we read more into it.It goes so far. You guys
completely oblivious to how much data isbeing collected on you, what you do,
where you go, how you youknow, spend your time to and

(18:04):
from you sync with your phone.It's grabbing all that data so it knows
exactly what your phone knows. Look, these things are are massive black holes
sucking data and sharing that and sellingthat. So we'll get in telling it.
Yeah, we'll get into that afterthe break. When we come back.
You got to tell us what yousaid. There's five points one and

(18:26):
two are huge, three four fivestill to come after the break, So
back with Ted. I will tellyou if you do go to repair act
dot com. They have made itreally, really easy. I mean,
it's so fool proof. You justgo there, You put in your you
know where you're you're at, ifyou're listening to Michigan right now, or
you know in North Glenn. Youjust put in your zip. It brings

(18:49):
up who It's a pre written letterand all's got to do is sign it,
fill it in and it's already shippedto your your local government and the
person that represents your district in DC. So it's it's easy to get plugged
in and help fight this because trustme, this is coming for each and

(19:11):
every one of us, and itmeans a massive swing in money and how
we're able to get to and fromand how easy that becomes, and man,
it's a it's a pivotal moment.We got to fight it more with
Ted on how to do that injust a minute. Willy's Garage nine twenty
four to one seven nine KBPI Willyb'sGarage. Portions of the following program were

(19:36):
prerecorded. You back in Willyb's Garage. What have you all this Saturday morning
and looking halfway decent? Hey,compared to last Saturday? So much better.
I'll take it. Yeah, Man, all right, all kind of
stuff cat the motorcycle show coming upnext weekend. We'll be broadcasting from that,
looking forward, plugging into all coolthings going on to been COLTRD Motorcycles

(20:00):
Show. It's gonna be awesome.I think we're gonna rally up a man
Carson from Food Dog Talk. Allthis cool stuff you gonna see out there
at the show. It's wild.Man. I was there this weekend or
this weekend for the stock show,and I was like, man, it's
crazy to think, Oh no,we can have It's gonna be full of
cool motorcycles and parts and stuff.But yeah, man, it's a blast

(20:21):
looking forward to that. What elsea couple things. Hey, hit me
up on Instagram, Willie underscore KBPI. It's funny because I've been throwing family
photos up there and a lot ofpeople that followed me are kind of automotive
related, and they're like, Yo, where's your cars? What's cool?
Carson Christmas kind of getting wrapped up. We got a guy coming today to

(20:42):
pick up a ninety three Saturn.Shout out to my friends who have helped
all year. We've been at it, man, God, we've been at
it so hard for Carson Christmas.A couple more to finish up and not
be wrapped up for the year.And then I get back on a few
of my projects, which I'm reallystuked about. I got a sixty bel
air. Uh. I need youropinion too on the Titan. Uh.

(21:04):
Just talk kind of stuff. Catchyou up on why body's coming back in
to get some work done. Ican't wait. So anyway, really underscore
KBPI and Instagram for that to follow. This is something else you should follow.
We have a man ted in.It's repair Act dot com. Repair
Act dot Com. This is kindof wild because this is similar to something

(21:26):
that they fought. Remember a fewyears back, there was the big deal
where the manufacturers are trying to sayany aftermarket part that you put on the
card should avoid the warranty. Theseare the These are the guys that fought
that in one case. Now they'refighting a bigger battle with a lot more
funding. And it's the the mechanismwhat I would call the mechanism. All

(21:48):
the manufacturers, whether it's you knowyour favorites from Ford or Chevy or Toyota
or you know Audi, BMW,the v Volkswagon, they're all all teamed
up against the independent shop, againstyou and I who like to turn a
wrench on our cars. They're they'reteamed up because well, because they want

(22:10):
the money. And that money,well it's a lot more than where you
may you may just be thinking alot of people are thinking, well what
kind of money is in the carand after markets and why do they care?
Well, Ted with Repair Actors hereto tell you why we went through
number one and number two, numberthree, four and five still to come
as to why this is such ayou know something we need to fight off

(22:33):
at hold back. Why you needto go to repair act dot com and
sign up because Ted, this thingis, this thing is massive. I
was explaining to Mike Pedaford in here, you know, this is bigger than
where it's at just now. Rightnow, they want to be able to
tell you you can't do anything toyour car. You're not allowed to take
to the independent shop. You're notallowed to do you know, breaks or
code air intakes or if you wantchange the O two cents or no,

(22:56):
you're not going to be allowed todo that, to have access to the
data anything about that. And itgoes beyond that too, because when you
think about where this culture, andit is a culture where this move to
uh to sort of hide underthing oneverything under the guise of climate change,

(23:18):
like everybody's wanting to in this governmentsall around the world, they're just talking
about it in dabbles with this WorldEconomic Forum. They're wanting to move to
carbon a way to tax you forthe carbon you're emitting, sort of a
carbon tax on every individual. Somister Mike Pedtiford, go for it.
Services the number four, not spellthat you want to go tune up on

(23:42):
his badass C eight corvette. Youknow, well, guess what it may
it may link up the big runand say, oh well, Mike,
you've got a lot of carbon coinsthat you've used in the last couple of
days. Guess what, You're notgonna be able to move, say for
three days, because your carbon footprintis too big. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift

(24:03):
is just flying here and there tosee you know, Travis and what.
That's okay, But yeah, itreally is. That's something you gotta look
at because it's going to that allover the world. There's already countries that
are they're doing that. Hell,they're doing that in China, So you
gotta imagine that's just a matter oftime. That's like the big movement push.
They're collecting all this data. Peopleare oblivious to the data they're collecting,

(24:26):
right, They have no idea what'sgoing on. Yeah, and you
know what you talked about. Wetalked in the last segment about the you
know, the the just the generalrepair and the stock replacement stuff. But
you hit on it right there.I mean, what about the fun stuff.
I mean I call them the thego fast parts or the get loud
parts. You know, you wantto you wanna make that Corvette fund even

(24:47):
more fun to drive. Any kindof upgrades, whether it's performance, higher
horse or whatever. All of thatstuff would be would be under the control
of the the OE vehicle manufacturer.You know, if if we're not successful
in getting repair Act passed. Soso that's yeah, I mean that would
be sad. Right. Can youimagine not being able to do what?

(25:10):
What? Dude? I don't careif you're buying an eight hundred horse power
car, one thousands of power car? What dude? What car? Guy
unearthed and said, no, youknow what, that that's enough performance there,
that's enough power, enough horse power, right right, said nobody?
Yeah, yeah, And think aboutit, think about it this way.
You know, the the the ramificationsare long term and lasting because how many

(25:32):
teenage kids and and uh you know, Willie, I know you've got a
family, and how many teenage kidslearn from from their moms and dads working
in the garage, customizing their stuff. How many how many kids grew up
buying a car at thirteen or fourteenthat was a project to get them to
repair it so that so that whenthey got their license at sixteen, they

(25:52):
had a bad ride, that thatthey could tool around town in and and
and feel like king of the world. And that sparked that's part the fire
in them that carried them through therest of their life. That is the
that's the og story of so manyfriends in the car world, and you
know even even kids today, youknow, save it up, drop it

(26:14):
all cons and money in the littleyou know quick BMW. They're a little
little nasty auty whatever it may be. Well, you know their old Chevy
Blazer, pick them up truck,whatever that may be. It that that
passing on of interest, knowledge,enthusiasm, all that stuff associated with it.
It ties a big part of familybonds. And you know the community

(26:37):
that is, you know, theracing world, the performance world, or
you know car show world, cruiserworld, all of that ties together and
it's such an unbelievable sort of thingto step out of that and go,
look if they are able to dowhat they're wanting to do. A lot
of that disappears, a lot ofthat just goes away. Well, and

(26:57):
the pride that you have have whenit's your vehicle that you've built and if
something goes wrong, you lift upthe hood and you fix it right there.
Yeah, so yep, what wouldnumber three, four and five be?
And you know, as this thingbuilds more steam, tell us again,
walk us through the best ways tofight it. And you know how

(27:18):
we can act against it. Soone one thing that you touched on a
little bit, you talked about howthe data is being collected. So so
one of the key points is privacy. You know, you you take for
granted when you get in the carand you drive from point A to point
B. Whatever, maybe break thespeed limit, maybe you stop too quick,
whatever you're driving limit. You know, everybody has different driving habits,

(27:44):
but the fact remains that the vehiclethat you're driving is logging all of that.
And it's not just talking. You'reto to the oeys and communicating back
and forth. What the oeys aredoing with that data is they're they're selling
it. They're selling to insurance companies, they're selling it to a third third
party market providers, and you don'tknow it. All of a sudden,
your your social media feed to startfilling up with things that you wonder,

(28:07):
how how they they know that I'vethat I care about fitness because your car
notes that you've gone to the gymfive times that week. You know,
things like that are are what whatthe general public thinks is, wow,
that's crazy. But it's not crazybecause there's a scenario where and this is
all this is all public. Imean, if you do a little bit
of research, you can figure itout. There's a scenario where the car

(28:30):
manufacturers are going to be making moremoney off the data that they sell,
your data that you create and youput in the vehicle. Uh, then
they're making off of the actual saleof the cars themselves, which is which
is crazy to think about. Andand Willie you heard me use this example
before. I mean, you buyan iPhone, or you buy a Dell
computer or something. You take abunch of pictures you mentioned your your Instagram.

(28:52):
All the pictures that you have onyour phone, those are your pictures,
right, yeah, I mean Apple, Apple doesn't own those pictures because
they were taking on an iPhone.So is it Why is it that your
vehicle manufacturer owns the data that youput on the vehicle. I'm not talking
about just you know, the repairinformation specifically, it's all the data.

(29:15):
And that's that's the challenge that we'veexperienced, is that it's all bottled together
and the aftermarket is not looking forall of that data. There's not a
security risks. They like to saythat, well, the security of the
data. No, there is nota security risk because everything is up to
the same code that banks and militaryuse. All the aftermarket wants is the
repair data and it's and it's alltied together. So so really that's one

(29:40):
of the things that we're fighting foris privacy. Is there a scenario where
all of that data that they're collectingand they're interested in, is there a
scenario where that can be say,behind door A and and for the technicians
of the people like the rent work, you know, upgrade the car,
all the stuff that we're interested in, right, that can be behind say

(30:03):
door number you know B. Isthere a scenario where that can happen?
That is, there is a scenariothat's out there, and that is all
we're looking for. Okay's and gettingthe passage of HR nine oh six the
Repair Act does not mean that yourindependent shop is going to know that you
put on seven pounds since since thelast December. That's not what it's about.

(30:25):
What it's about is just that yourtechnician is going to be able to
figure out that based on based onthis fault that came up in the diagnostic
process. This is how we haveto fix it, right, Okay,
all that the aftermarket is looking for, so you mentioned you know these five
points I mentioned, that's probably maybethree, four and five. Yeah,
there's yep, yep, there's there'scost, there's convenience, there's competition,

(30:51):
privacy. We all talk about theother one in supply chain. I mean,
you mentioned a little bit about abouton the on the monopoly side of
things and how how having a lackof competition is challenging for the economy but
most importantly for the vehicle owners.Think about it this way. If there's
a supply chain issue, and Ithink everybody on the that's listening today experienced

(31:11):
some supply chain issues, maybe goingback about four years up until just recently,
and still in some cases there's supplychain issues. If you're bound to
one avenue for repair or replacement andbound to one source, when there's a
supply chain issue, you are notjust limited, but but you're really crippled

(31:33):
against having a means of repair ifthey can't if your source can't get the
part that's needed to fix the vehicle, then you're dead in the water.
And that's really something that the aftermarketis specialized in for a lot of years.
So what happened over the last coupleof years to the supply chain,

(31:53):
because man it, I swear toGod, has seems so so unbelievable that
that hell for it was probably wortha year or two ago. But man,
I'm amazed how long it takes toget parts in pieces now and what's
not available? What just sorry,we don't we can't make that anymore.

(32:14):
Yeah, the original parts you can'tget in a lot of instances. Well
no, yeah, that's that's forsure. And you know what it comes
down to is the you know,still the repercussions in the pandemic, having
so many people that were that wereout of work for so long, and
and to think about it, totell you that the uniqueness of it all

(32:37):
is that during the pandemic, theheights of the pandemic, or in mid
twenty twenty when everything was shut down, the Autocare Association fought and gained essential
status for anybody that worked in theaftermarket. And there's instances where people were
getting pulled over saying you need tobe home quarantined, and you had to
have a letter saying that you're anessential worker because you worked at a repair

(33:00):
shop or you worked at a partsstore and so and so when you go
back to the pandemic and all thepeople that were out of work for so
long, and and you know,parts weren't getting made, parts weren't getting
shipped. Uh. And so that'swhere that's where all of that supply chain
challenges come in. And then youthrow in the things like today you've got
three h one tariffs between the USand China, you know, and and

(33:24):
the porns of bureaucracy crap. Exactly. I couldn't couldn't say it anything.
You know what's funny is me andmy man Scoop we made people essential letters
because we came on it. Wewere the only two guys in the radio
station this rate. This building haslike eight radio stations in it, and
we're the only guys in the building. We were making fake essential letters.

(33:47):
We had some of the dopest seals. We stole Harbor Freights, like tool
seal. We would put that onthe bottom of it. We would put
like some food service I had,like hell, I want to say,
we put like our hammer baby sodaor something. Uh. We had uh
sign Yeah, we had signed byJoe Exotic h and CC to Donald Trump.

(34:09):
Uh. It was hilarious. Andpeople we would call up and rank
people's essential letters was right, itwas it was fun. I might still
have mine, just fake as hellbecause that was stupid. Anyway, how
have you, guys, you know, knowing that this battle is coming,

(34:29):
how have you made it really simpleat repair act dot com. This is
what I want people to know aboutbecause this definitely needs your attention, that
definitely needs you to get plugged into, and they have made it really simple
and really easy to do. Souh, so explain that, uh and
then we'll uh won't take too muchmore of your time. Yeah, no,

(34:49):
this is We shared a lot ofinformation and so some great stories.
But but that's the one thing thatI would really love everybody to take away
today is that their involvement is criticalto us making sure that none of the
worst case scenario stuff that we talkedabout happens. And to do that,
you mentioned it a few times.You go to repair act dot com and
it is a completely and totally nonprofit, nonpartisan site where you can get all

(35:14):
of the information from a factual andreliable source and all you have to do
is put your address in and it'snot for any marketing verson. I can't
stress that enough. That isn't heldon to The only reason that that address
is used is so that we canidentify who your congress person is in Washington,
what congressional district you're in, whetherit's Colorado or Florida or wherever,

(35:37):
So that you put your address inand three letters. Three letters are automatically
generated and done. And like yousaid, all you have to do is
type your name in the box thatyou're signing it, hit the mint and
it will send one letter to eachof your two senators and then one letter
to your representative in Congress. Andwhat that does is lets them know it

(36:00):
doesn't. You have the ability tochange the wording of the letters if you
want, but you don't have tobecause it's the volume that the people that
are working in the Washington offices arecounting. That that my gosh, here's
another letter supporting right to repair.And that's what it comes down to.
The Repair Act, another word forit is the right to repair. Everybody
should have the right to repair theirvehicles or have their vehicles prepared where they

(36:22):
want it. And and this ishow to get involved. And from our
standpoint, like I told you,Willie, we can get the message to
our manufacturers and our distributors and they'reactive involved. But there's two hundred thousand
repair facilities coast to coast. There'sthree hundred million vehicles on the road,
and everybody that owns one of thosevehicles needs to understand that their freedom is

(36:43):
at stake if they don't fight forit. And the only fight they have
to do is go to repair Actdot com and send the letters. And
it's all done automatically. So I'mthere right now doing the what's right you
You just hit the action now,yep, take action now, simple repair

(37:07):
Act dot com. It's wild tothink good. It's a you can watch
the video on it there as well. I tell you, man, what
a bigger impact this will be.You know, a lot of people don't
realize how much how much money isinvolved in how many families. There's a

(37:28):
kind of an unarticulated consequence of theseindependent shops. Think about how many people
there, you know, say theygot three to five the six technicians right
all family gods. That's that's MiddleAmerica right there. You know, technicians
is a great job. You know, that's a that's a especially nowadays,
that's a great income, great career. You think about the trickle down effect

(37:51):
of not just those technicians, thosefamilies, the supply line, right,
all those people in those ancillary serviceon top of you know, you know
the guys that are still making itand not a lot of parts are made
here anymore, but you know there'sstill few of them. All of those
you know, all of those peopleget affected by something like this in a

(38:14):
major, major way. So youknow, they got to get alerted and
alarmed to it. Technicians out there, they need to be alerted to it.
Independent shops they need to get onboard with this. It's just something
that really is something we got tostomp out. I'd say sooner than later,
because what happens if we only defeatit by a smaller slim margin,

(38:36):
They're gonna come back with the samething reworded and try to get a little
more you know, power in alittle more. You know, it all
comes down to money, right inthe end. It's all about money.
They're gonna try to get a littlemore money out of us, and that's
one of the ways they oftentimes doit. So smart thing is to get
on it right now. Act whyyou can't make really simple repair act dot

(38:57):
com? Hey, when when doesthis wrap up? Like? When is
there a vote on this thing,or how does it what's the end game?
Similar how you guys defeated the youknow, the the Oie battle a
couple of years ago with the withthe parks and how that wasn't avoid on
the warranty. So right now,I mean, the momentum for Repair Act

(39:17):
for HR Nino six Right to Repairis so strong right now. It was
introduced. So this congressional session lastsfrom from twenty three through twenty four through
the end of this year, andso we're in uncharted territory because we've had
bills introduced in the past, butthey didn't get the momentum because it's a

(39:38):
process that take you go back tothe schoolhouse rock and bill on Capitol Hill.
This is no. So so it'sgone through the HR nine six,
has gone through the committee subcommittee,and now it's in front of the committee
and so that's the last barrier beforeit gets to the House floor and get

(40:00):
to vote. And that we needthat to happen before twenty twenty four ends,
before this session ends, because thenit'll start all over next year if
we don't get it done. Soright now, the momentum is high.
It's farther than it's ever progressed before, and the momentum is stronger than it's
ever been before. And so that'swhy we really need the engagement from everybody

(40:21):
listening to go to repair ac dotcom and let your Congress people know that
half a trillion dollars in the inthe in the federal economy is what's at
stake with the independent aftermarket. That'sbig money man. Half eighty trillion dollars.
What chuck of the economy is thattwo percent roughly two percent of the
GDP the gross domestic products, Soand of all the dollars that are sold

(40:45):
for everything from prescriptions to pet food, the independent aftermarket accounts for about two
percent of the federal economy. That'sbig man, that's crazy that Yeah,
all right, Repair Act dot com. They made it really simple. You
just basically drop in your zip codeso it knows what area, what district

(41:07):
aligns it with those people on astate level, on a federal level,
and it sends those letters off.Basically, it's a PC way of saying,
you man sull good and we needthat. So yeah, get on
that Repair Act dot com. ThroughTED Thanks for the time, thanks to
the message thinks of that battle.Man, that's a big one. I'm

(41:29):
sure Willie and Mike. I can'tthank you guys enough. And you know
what, keep doing what you're doing. We appreciate it. We love it.
And here's to going fast and beingloud boys my man. All right,
bro, take care man, Thanksso much. See Bro, what
a crazy think about that? Man? That could get ugly quick, and
a lot of people just you know, just oblive us to it. I

(41:49):
knew it was out there because Iheard about it about eight months ago,
and we might have mentioned it onthat show because I heard that's when the
battle just kind of begin. Andthen you know, as I as I
was there last week and saw howmuch momentum and how they're posturing, I
was like, oh my god,what a people have no idea the effect
and what the ripple effects will beon everything down the line. You know,

(42:14):
it's just wild. It's gonna bereally ugly if they are able to
pivot in that direction and not sharethat data and prevent all these independent shops
and people just want to upgrade thecar. Yeah. I was one of
the people that was not aware untiltoday. So I will be getting letters

(42:35):
written in my behalf. Yeah,man, all right, we're gonna break.
We come back. Hey, CoradMotorcyc show in town next weekend.
We'll chat about it. Just WantaSep nine KVP I Willybe's garage fell back
in Willybe's garage? What is up? Will Bese garage man? Or men

(42:58):

wild, man. My buddy Ijust jumped on the phone and he's like,
I saw his text. He's like, man, they're trying to control
what you just go down and I'mlike, yeah, it's crazy. Nuts
man. When you read or watchthe video and see what they're doing,
they're like, uh no no.And they make it really easy. If

(43:21):
you go to that that site RepairAct dot Com, you basically, you
know, you got to slick thebox. If you're a technician, if
you're a you know, if you'rea you know, consumer, all that
stuff, hit it and grip it. Man. It's it's one of the
things where you really really need tosign up. That'd be a said,
got something really cool going on herenext weekend. So this upcoming week is

(43:42):
wild because you know, I'm backin Florida. I shoot two guys garage.
This week we're working. You'll lovethis Mike Pedtiford working on eighty one
Corvette. Oh yeah, dude,those are you know what? That's a
great looking corvette. I had oneof those. Man, is that car
slow? It can't pull a greasystring out with cat's ass, It is
slow. I mean that thing wasa It took off like a turtle in

(44:07):
peanut butter. It was like,but you know, sid, I had
that car for a long time.It was one of the you know,
it's a good time to plug this. If I had a buddy, his
name was Jim and wild story man. This guy was a really good friend
of mine. Yo, how wildis this man? So I'm gonna take

(44:28):
you for a ride. Just putaside, Carson, my man, Carson
there. Hey, I'm gonna sharewith you this story. This is a
wild story man. Listen to this. So this guy, Jim, who
was a friend of mine, himback in the days when I was doing
a lot of motocrossing. His wifewas gonna leave him. And this man
like begged his wife. She youknow, I guess had another dude or

(44:50):
something whatever. But she's gonna leavehim. And he's like, no,
no, no, I'll make itworth your wild just just give me five
years. And this is not funny, oh chol is not. And this
guy said, I'll make it withyou while just hanging there five years.
That was his that was his message. Just please don't leave, just stay
by my side. We'll repair whateveryou need to blah blah blah blah.

(45:14):
So I didn't know him when thatoccurred. I met him about two and
a half years later, and thenI had no idea what had occurred at
that point. Well then fast forwardfive years, Well fast forward about four
and a half years. All ofa sudden, a man who was just

(45:34):
normal as he could be, andyou know, just an everyday guy.
You wouldn't think he had he hada great job. Everything seems on the
surface to be, you know,easy peasy, like Sunday morning. Four
and a half years later, aboutthat six month mark, all of a
sudden, he starts giving away abunch of stuff. He starts giving some

(45:55):
things to people that I was like, WHOA. I was over this house
one night and he said he hadthis black, you know, nineteen eighty
one Corvette and it was one ofthe triple black ones. Yeah, it
was black, black interior t tops. It was just a gorgeous car.
Like those cars, I mean thelines on them, it's kind of like

(46:15):
a batmobile. They're gorgeous, big, you know, when you sit in
it, you're sitting really low,and it's got those big round, you
know, front flares, and youjust look like you're driving a Batman car,
and it's you know, the feelof it is really cool. Well,
this guy, you know, he'slike, hey, will you like
that car, don't you? AndI'm like, yeah, you know,
and he's like, man, I'llsell it to you. And I was

(46:35):
like, I can't afford a carlike that because back then, even back
then, that car was worth youknow, ten eleven thousand dollars, you
know, you know, on alower side. This thing was Mit had
like six thousand miles, interior perfect. It was just a slick car,
just a really nice, you know, representation of that particular Corvette. And

(46:57):
he's like, well, what doyou think that car is worth? And
I'm like a lot more than Icould have. And he's like what can
you afford? And I'm like,man, I might be able to come
up with like four or five grand, bro, And he goes all right
yours, And I was like,what he sold me that corvette forty five
hundred bucks? Oh my gosh,And I thought it was I thought it
was a giveaway man. I waslike, what, man, I pushed

(47:19):
that little thing around forever. Well, here's what happened. He took care
of a few people that were reallyclose to him in his life just that
last six months, on that fiveyear and one day mark, right,
this man drove down a deckers andtook his life. Man, and all

(47:42):
his whole plan was to give thewife everything. He took out a bigger
insurance plan that the deal was fiveyears. You know, you couldn't have
a suicide or something like that forfive years, or she couldn't didn't get
the money. So this dude didall of that. Can you imagine the
mindset with somebody that goes through thatmuch pain for that long and has that

(48:06):
timeline and not just has that timelinehe played it out. Wow, it
was devastating. Me and a fewof my friends talked about it for you
know a few months after that that. You know, we didn't see it
necessarily on the surface, but ifyou were to look at it now in

(48:27):
hindsight, you could kind of seea few of the things that were occurring
with what he did with me,with what he did with a few other
friends. And look, the reasonI tell you that story is because if
there is ever a moment where you, you know, the weight of the
world is just ripping on you andjust bearing down and you're just like,
I don't know, and you're startingto think about that as an option.
Hey man, there are people outthere that want to talk to you,

(48:49):
that will help you. Know.You could dial like like you dial nine
to one one for you know,emergency dow nine eight eight. I believe
military people are you know, youpress one anybody else you pressed too.
Man, there are people that aretalking, they'll they'll talk to you.
There's people that will help you.There's services out there. But man,
you got a you know, abigger plan on this world than that dude

(49:13):
that rocks me for like a year, you know, I always yeah,
And and to play that plan outis just I mean, you imagine a
burden, your weight that is onyour shoulders. Crazy. So there's always
somebody out there, there's always anotheroption. And I encourage you, man,
depressed, talk to somebody, geta puppy. You know, find

(49:36):
a crazy cool dime in your lifeor a great friend and reach out.
Uh that being said, a lotof friends coming together next weekend. This
is one of those events the youknow, a lot like the car community,
the motorcycle community runs real parallel tothe car community. They're super tight.
They you know, they have certainyou know, a certain reputation with

(49:57):
some of them that you know,you'll you would so quickly drop if you
ever met him, shook their handor whatever. Man, it is a
crazy cool community and it's wild thathere in Colorado you you're not afraid to
put a motorcycle show in the middleof January, a big old expo.
We're talking on the dude right theirmotorcycles to now not here, baby,
light it up. So we're gonnatalk a little bit about what's going on

(50:19):
out there. None better than themoment Carson with food dog. He Carson,
you there are you rallying up withhiddos? What up? Man?
Welcome to the show, Thanks man, thanks for having me back. It's
been a manute. How you guysbeen, Dude, It's wild? Yeah,
man, you know you kids beenhanging out with mine? Oh?
They straight crazy Oh yeah, wildMan, you know, to kind of

(50:42):
like touch on what you were sayingthere, Dude, it's I feel like
there's a stigma with men like kindof talking about their feelings and talking to
each other about that. And that'ssomething that I think we really need to
work past, man and realize,like you know, us, dude,
carry a lot of like weight onour shoulders, you know, supporting our
families and stuff, and just Ithink taking that time to ask your home
like how he's doing is is?You know that that goes a long way.
So man absolutely does for sure.You know, that was the moment

(51:08):
in my life where I sit backfor like a month and a half two
months after that, and I'm justI'm walking around in a daze, just
like you know, I wouldn't turnon the radio going into words be like
man, I could you know?How could you have? How could you
carry that much weight? And thattime like just knowing, just like you
know, I just was. Iwas blown away and I felt bad because

(51:30):
I was like, man, Iwish you know, I wish I knew
that, or wish I would haveseen more of it or whatever. What
could I have done different? Look, it's it's wild man's suicide never takes
the pain away and just puts onsomebody else, and that is just distributed
amongst you know, all of usfriends and his other family members and other
people are like wait, wait no, so yeah, it's you know,

(51:53):
talk to him, you know,reach out, say hello, or you
know, call it perfect stranger.And sometimes maybe you just need that.
Maybe you don't feel comfortable, youknow, doing it with you know,
you're a homie, but you know, a perfect stranger. Some people are
like that. But regardless, heyman, that life a corteous opportunity and

(52:15):
it can get better. Just takeus, set a deep breath, reach
out to somebody. That being said, man, you know, find a
hobby or community that has similar interestsand passions that you do, you know,
I mean through the motorcycle community initself is such a cool you know,
whether it's hey man, you allwant to get together do a little
riding. I see all kinds ofwhether it's you know, I know,
my man Mikey with the mini bikes. You know, he'll he'll run up

(52:38):
with a group of you know,twenty five little mini bikes all the hood
now having fun, you know,dirt bikers motocross a do same things showing
up a track community, whether it'syou know, guys that take cool Japanese
bikes restore them and go rip aroundtown and do cool rides like that,
whatever that may be. If youfind a mechanism plug into that. Similar

(52:59):
with your passions, the line withwhat you're interested in. Man, sky's
the limit. Uh. You cantake what Carson done as a per example.
He loves old motorcycles, that Japanesestyling, that flash and flare sided
to make a crazy career out ofit. So what's what's the ladies and
grays at food? Dog? Man? What's going on in the world of
retro bikes? Oh? Man,we're uh, we're staying busy, dude.

(53:22):
Uh. You know, last lastyear, we we went into winter
with a good handful of projects,but I think kind of like just barely
made it through the season. Butthis year it's been you know, it's
been like kind of balls to thewall every day all day where you know,
we kind of mostly see dips.But it's cool doing the restoration stuff
because you know, there's no there'sno really timeline on that. People aren't

(53:44):
itching to write it. You know, it's not weather based or anything.
So we put tons of tons ofengineery built, tons of like full restoration
stuff. And yeah, I sawthat fifty you had on his grand the
other day and I was like,nope, I got one of mine there
too. I grew up on thatMr fifty, y'all. It's such a
dope bike. And that one youhad was a sweet little replica. Oh

(54:06):
dude, she was, Yeah,she's cherry man this. This dude brought
several little mini bikes in and Ifeel like a lot of guys bring us
stuff just to kind of, Ithink, even more so show it off.
I mean I kicked it off.I was like, what's up with
this bike? It's as perfect asit is. But right, we've got
to see some amazing stuff through theshop this year, and you know,
I'm I'm stoked for twenty twenty four. It's it's kind of just like you

(54:28):
know, I said on the sky, where we're trying to grow, get
in a new facility. We've welloutgrown the spot we're in now, so
I would as well take, like, you know, one year. That's
so funny. You know. Hewas like, y'all, don't understand Carson
and food Dog. You can findhim online food Dog Moto, give him
a like and a follows. It'sawesome what they're doing. But these Japanese

(54:51):
bikes have been popping last number ofyears and he's been riding that wave.
Well. When I first met him, the little showroom and shot was you
know, it was like normal office, man, it was small. And
then he got this this spot wherehe's at now and he's like, dude,
this place has got I got somuch you know, room for growth
and this is gonna be huge forus. And I went down there and

(55:12):
I'm like, yeah, this isa big size up from where you were.
But this business, this world,the love of the passion for is
exploding. Like I said, Ithink it's just tip of the iceberg.
I was like, yeah, hegonna move out of this in another year,
sure enough. Yeah, man,that's awesome. That's big news.
That's that's huge. It's cool manthat the motorcycle community here in Colorado is
so insane. Like you know,I've lived all over the country and uh

(55:35):
and motorcycles. It's always been motorcyclesand music for me, and they're both
both of those scenes are very Idon't know, divisive. People are kind
of like, you know, ifyou're not into what I'm into, I'm
not into what you're into and thisand that, and Dude, what I've
noticed in Colorado is like it's justabout two wheels. It's why that's why
the expo is like it's so coolbecause it's kind of this intersection of so
many different like lifestyles surrounding motorcycles andtwo wheels. And I mean even do

(56:00):
like a rider car show in thebasement. So even if you're a car
guy, like you're kind of onthe fence about motorcycles, there's still badass
cars there for you. But it'sa it's, man, what a great
opportunity to like kind of bring thewhole, the whole, like like people
that are fans and motorcycles and theindustry itself together in one location. And
man, it's it's a great weekend. It's you know, it's the it's

(56:22):
two days out of the year thatwe always look forward to. So yeah,
next next weekend Saturday Sunday, Man, we're getting at it. Yeah.
Man, that's gonna be a blast. And I'm excited to be broadcast
from down there. I would say, Man, you never know what you
go see it's not just to collectthe cool bikes and parks and you know,
cool things like that. But man, there's all kinds of antiguities and

(56:44):
just wild, weird cool stuff,wall art that you wouldn't believe and just
you know, all kinds of cool. You know, you'll get guys in
there. They're building their own littleversions of bikes, strikes, mini's customs,
whatever, doing cool things. It'sjust a blast. It's a really
cool opportunity to kids out have funthere. It said, you know,

(57:04):
it's a National West complex, soyou can really ask for more there,
all kinds of different vendors and justman, just good times and a great
way to you know, kind ofplug in at community, see what's going
on, what's happening, and justuh, what's out there. So if
you're looking for something to do nextweekend, definitely the spot. What about
you? And you know the fooddog shop. What's the hottest bite y'all

(57:27):
working on and restoring right now?Oh? Man, uh, I we've
got some uh, we've got somereally cool I'm trying to think like what's
up on the list. It waskind of a wild week there. This
has been the week of Yamaha forus. I'm pretty sure every bike we
touched this week has been Yamaha,like several XS six fifties. But you

(57:47):
know me, I'm a two strokedude, so we've had We've had several
like Kawasaki triples through the shop lately, you know, some some rds and
just the cool like two stroke streetstuff that I'm all always you know,
if you follow us online, youalways hear me preaching about this stuff.
I absolutely love it. It's justwild and unsafe and really just like something

(58:08):
like they would never put this outnow it is. Yeah, yeah,
I mean we had an HD threerecently. I think I posted a video
of that. Man, I justI love It's like, what a cool
job that I have. You know, I could never afford all these bikes,
but I get to own them,quote own them for about a week
or so at a time, andenjoy the hell out of them. And
it's man, it's just it's sick. We're in motorcycle heaven over here at

(58:31):
the shop. Yeah. Man,uh, super cool. And this is
the time of year if you're lookingor thinking about, you know, what
to do that old vintage bike,whether it's you know, back in the
garage, and shop or you know, you know where one's at. These
things is so it's so cool.Man. We gave one away last year
with Sailor Jerry's. That was justdope. Seen a bunch of them just

(58:52):
being brought back to life. That'swhy I like following you on social media.
You guys are always doing cool videosand like check out this blast the
past. I don't know whether it'sthe pin stripping, the styling, the
colors, maybe it's all of itcombined, but somebous then bikes. Man,
just the flare and kind of attitudethey had. I love the fact
that they're you know, they're allmechanical and they're all like chromed out and

(59:15):
stainless steel, and it looks likethey cared. You know, it looks
like it wasn't just stamped and moldedand you know this and that it looks
like it was put together with alittle like man, this bis looks cool.
You know it just uh, theyjust do totally yeah. Every it's
back then. You know, everyonewas trying to like outdo the competition,

(59:36):
and like you can really see it, like the the competitive nature of like
the you know, especially in theJapanese bikes, like the factories back then.
You know, they used a lotof the same stuff, you know,
like nuts and bolts and this andthat. But yeah, man,
when it came to the paint jobs, you've got like Kawasaki being like,
you know, green as our colors, so you've got like rad shape green
through Kawasaki and man, yeah,the paint. The paint's really like I

(01:00:00):
think it's just that's the coolest,coolest part of those. My dad's CAZy
one thousand was that really dark,dark, dark green that almost looked black
from way far away. But beforehe got the close you got to the
bike, you saw green in it. Oh dude, I had Eddie Lawson
replica. That was the Kawasaki greenOkay, yeah, yeah, that's that
line green bright green. Huh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's crazy.

(01:00:24):
What a cool bike in offering thatwas. Man, those are those are
badass, and you you know,not only do you work on these things,
but get them running you do fullAre you doing more full blown like
restorations now, because it's wild tosee where these bikes have gone in prices,
like where they've gone, and youknow you used to be able to

(01:00:45):
pick these up. I'll be honest, before I met Carson. I bet
I bought a CB and it waslike the Super Sports CBS, like fifty.
I paid twenty bucks for it.What Yeah, man, I just
gave it to another dude and itwas the first one with like braks.
Cars are like you do what youknow? Yeah, man, he got
another Yamaha he's doing for me.I paid twenty bucks. I actually think

(01:01:07):
I paid twenty five for that one. Yeah. Man, you used to
be able to get these bikes forlike nothing. Now they're going to probably
be a little bit more expensive.But these bikes, I don't know why.
Well, you kind of do knowwhy. You see the styling.
You see what Triumph, you seewhat Harley, You see what all these
manufacturers are doing nowadays. The bikesthat they're dropping brand new from the factory

(01:01:31):
look like these bikes from the seventies. Yep. Like how crazy and cyclical
is that? Yep? Definitely.Man, We've got a We've got a
brand staking new twenty twenty four Znine hundred in the shop right now.
And this is I guess I kindof decided note I should say this too.
So like, as we've grown ourteam, we've really grown our skill
set and yes, vintages are focused, but you know, for the guys

(01:01:52):
out there being like, hey,I can't you know, find a shop
that I trust for my bike andit's newer, and i've heard food dogs
a great shop man still hit usup. We're still taking in new bikes
and working on that stuff too.But like you were just saying, man,
I've got a brand new Z ninehundred in there right now, and
it's I mean it, there's somany things on it that are exactly how
the the KZ nine hundred was back. Okay, It's like the kalpiece,

(01:02:15):
the paint job on them, likedude, the colors, the pinstriping.
It's like, what the hell they'vethey went back and snatched up the production
line from nineteen seventy three or fourand throwing it at us in twenty three
and twenty four. It's like,wait a minute, and this is a
new thing they've I think they've seenthe trends with you know, the vintage

(01:02:37):
stuff just going nuts, and sothey're like, oh, oh crap,
like we gotta, you know,we gotta like cash in on that because
it's it's a relatively new thing.I think even when you and I started
talking. We're you know, wewere kind of slamming the new designs.
We're like, ah, they're justnot as sexy as the old stuff,
and like since then it's now it'sall you're seeing is this kind of nod
to nod to the you know,where they started, which is super cool,

(01:02:57):
man. I think I think it'sa move definitely on the manufacturer's part.
Yeah, man, absolutely a bigmove on their part. Smart to
see where that you know, thattrend is coming and going, and obviously
they're cashing in on it because yousee these new offerings and they look just
like some of that old stuff.But nothing beats the sound, the smell,

(01:03:20):
the wingy dingy of the old stufftoo. That it's so cool man,
It's just it's stuffed. It's justa blast, whether it's a small
bike or kids bike, or somethinga little bit bigger, something you know,
easy whip in and around the city, or something that gets out and
you know you can lean into onthe country road and have some fun with.
Uh. They do it all fooddog Moto. That's where everybody finds
you online on social all that funstuff. Yeah, man, at food

(01:03:45):
dog Moto. You can find usanywhere or if you know, just do
a quick search for food Dog Motorcycleson Google and it'll direct you to wherever

Oh yeah, man, it's superexciting. It's haven't been getting much
sleep lately, rand to prep foreverything, so it'll be nice to finally

(01:05:58):
put the show on and get itgoing. Yeah. Man, I was,
hey, I was at the NationalWestern Complex this week from the stock
show, and I was like,man, I can't believe you're gonna move
out this poop out have cool motorcycleshere next weekend. But yeah, man,
I can't. I can't wait becauseit really does get full on.
I mean, it just becomes amassive show and swap just a I mean

(01:06:20):
there's something for everybody out there thatthis upcoming weekend. Oh yeah, it's
crazy. It's Uh, it's alwaysinteresting to watch the transformation and they got
a lot of dirt to move outand we still get get a little bit
of snow hanging in there through ourevent. But it just adds to the
experience because it's definitely an experience likeno other. Yeah. Man. Uh,

(01:06:44):
there's several hundred vendors all with coolyou know, everything from antiquities,
the cool bike parks to you know, you never know what you're gonna see
find be able to get your handson really cool stuff out there from vintage,
classic, collectible and more. It'sone of those things you do.
You know, how many vendors arecoming out this year, like you'll see

(01:07:04):
everything from like, there'll be somedude in there slinging hot tubs and a
rapp beside him. This guy hasgot some vintage frame you've been looking for
forever, and cool signings that youlove in a man cave. And y'all
know what a man cave is,right, you know what a man cave
is, my Pennifer. Ye,no, course, now you know a
man cave is for a man thatdoesn't have a garage or you know how

(01:07:24):
to use tools. But hey,that's all good too. Maybe you have
whatever you're passing about in your mancave, whether it's sports, shooting,
whatever. I'm just saying, theman cave is what, Well, it's
a garage for dudes that don't havetools or cars. That's a good one.
I like that. Yeah. Yeah, we definitely have everything you could

(01:07:45):
imagine out there. We'll have oversix hundred vendor booths, so you know,
some of the bigger vendors take upmore than more than one booth,
and you have leather, jewelry,biker related stuff, stuff that's not biker
related, and it's it's just areally cool experience. And of course we
try to focus on since it wasfounded as a swap Meet. We try
our hardest to get as many peoplein there with used parts, and we

(01:08:10):
get people from all over the countrythat brings stuff that run the swap circuit.
So there's still quite a few peoplethat do that, and it's it's
really cool to come and try tofind something for your own project, if
you're working on anything. We alsohave a lot of fun because this year
we have a beer belly, beefcakeand bikini top. Mechanical bull riding competitions

(01:08:33):
would be pretty fun. There's awet tea shirt contest that's been going on
forever, so the old classic can'tbe taken away. You know, that's
hilarious. All right, Well that'sgonna be a big time thing. And
really he man, he'd kind ofdownplayed the swap meat portion of the program
because it really does have unbelievable amountof vendors and people there with parts and

(01:08:58):
pieces that you're you know, you'veprobably been searching for can't find otherwise.
Really, what type bike would yousay it focused on? Is it more
Harley centric, is it more Japanesebikes? You have anything from tryumph out
there, those weird backwards, youknow, stuff on the opposite side of

(01:09:18):
the bike as this Americans have it. What's the main bread and butter as
far as the bikes and the parts, well, it's traditionally very much been
an American iron you know, Harleytype event, but we do everything we
can to make sure that everybody elsecomes. And you know, Carson from

(01:09:41):
Food Out is a perfect example ofsomeone that's important to come out and love
what we're doing. And he toldme last year that he had got so
much business from the show just frompeople that still have bikes like he works
on in their garage or in abarn or whatever it might be. So
I think sometimes people just just assumeit's only for Harley stuff, and that's

(01:10:02):
absolutely not true. We try todo whatever we can to get everybody there.
And you know, in our bikeshow, I heard you mention that
we will have around one hundred bikesand up to twenty classes, including like
Euroasian classes. So the only thingthat stops those classes from being bigger is
people don't bring the bikes, youknow, And there's so many cool ones

(01:10:23):
out there in every possible way.We had like a couple of can ams
and in our trike class last year, so everybody's welcome to bring anything they're
working on, and it's really coolto see the wide variety of what we
have. There were a lot oftrikes out there last year, so great.
Yeah man, we set out rightbeside this big displayer tricks that were

(01:10:45):
like yeah, nuts, dude,Yeah, like v eight right, yeah,
yeah, those things are crazy.You have to It's hard to even
describe them. You just have tosee them. It's like a station wagon
version of a motorcycle. Like insome of these things are like a thrown
man, you might as well puta Game of Throne style thrown up there,
Like who the hell is driving that? Yeah? You know, wild,

(01:11:08):
but yeah, man, you gotthat. You got crazy cool customs.
You got all kinds of cool vintagejust art, you know, yard
art or man cave art, garageart, whatever you want to call it.
You look at parks and pieces andbikes, wheels. You know,
I saw a lot of car stuffthere last year too, So you get
a little bit of car stuff influencedin on that because kind of the same

(01:11:28):
person, same dude, he's gonnabe appreciative or fan of you know,
cars and bikes together. It's alllove of steel and burning you know,
burning gas babies. So you finda lot of that and just a lot
of cool stuff that you probably won'tsee in one place under one roof like
this anyway, you know, untilit rolls around next year. Yeah.

(01:11:50):
Absolutely true. It's a very uniqueevent and you know, there are a
lot of places around the country thatdo flop meets, but we add a
lot to with the entertainment element anda really big bike show. As we
talked about, we're doing stuff onSunday for kids the first time we did
it last year, Like down inthe Big Stadium. We have a bunch

(01:12:12):
of inflatables and things like that specificallyfor the family for the kids. Got
that bowl that I was talking aboutfor mechanical bowls, yeah, earlier in
the day. Yeah, before allthat goes down, we do have a
lot of fun and other stuff forthe kids to do on Saturday as well,
and just want everybody to know it'sa family friendly event too. Yeah,
man, huge and big fun.Definitely recommend you grab us some tickets.

(01:12:36):
Did they grab them before that dayof give us the times? You
know, it's two day events,so is it different one day compared to
the other. Yeah, it isa Saturday ticket. There's a lot more
going on than it basically costs alot more to put the event on for
Saturday. So Saturday tickets are twentyfive dollars at the door and you get
them online for the same price rightnow and avoid the lines. But you

(01:12:58):
can also come back on Sunday ifyou buy a Saturday ticket. If you're
coming for Sunday only, it's twentydollars, and again you can buy them
online now, just to help avoidthe lines I have. I'm actually on
my way down to Colorado Springs rightnow to Pikes Speak Indian Motorcycle to do
last minute ticket promo where we're sellingSaturday tickets for twenty percent off for anybody

(01:13:19):
that's down in the Colorado Springs area. Yeah, Pikes Peak, Hardy Davison
down there and try those great peopleman, those uh yeah, those guys
are great. Hey, isn't itwild? You probably heard Carson and me,
miss it isn't it wild? Thestyling of Triumph and Harley and a
few of these other isn't it kindof crazy to see the retro being brought

(01:13:41):
back in and polished up just alittle bit different with a more modern spin.
But How cool is it that theseretro bikes, these older bikes,
the styling of them, the stanceof them, the way the shocks look,
the way the you know, forks, the shape, all of that's
back your play. Oh, absolutely, it's it's so cool. In fact,
we just bought a road glide stfast Johnny that's inspired by old muscle

(01:14:08):
cars. So it's blue and whitelike a you know, like a Shelby
look. Yeah, and we're actuallyturning that into the Colorado Motorcycle Expo motorcycle,
if you will. So it's gettinga custom paint job with our logo
on it, and we'll probably doit on a tank later, but we
just did it on the backfender becausewe didn't have a lot of time.
But it's so cool because it's justold school styling and you know, just

(01:14:30):
in a modern bike and it's awesome. You're absolutely right about that, Yeah,
man, way cool. Grab ticketsnow again. It goes on all
day Saturday, basically. I sawSaturday goes till seven, right, It
actually goes until eight o'clock. Idid hear you say that? We were
staying open an hour later. Thisyear, the vendor show closes at seven
but we have live music down inthe stadium and and some Drake specials five

(01:14:54):
dollars drafts and stuff after seven foranother hour so people can hang out and
relax a little bit, have fun. Okay, what's your favorite booth that
you're aware of that somebody's bringing out. See somebody bring out a lot of
textive tests. That's something you don'twant to see. That's just saying it'd
be awesome. What's the craziest boothyou're aware of the craziest I'm aware of.

(01:15:16):
Let me think, Well, it'sI don't know how crazy it is.
But I had this quick funny storyabout a dude that was telling me
he's always mad because he's out therelike looking for parts and he sees these
guys with like magnetic healing bracelets forlike ninety bucks or something, and then
he saw his wife come back withone of those, so he's like,
I guess I can't be mad atthe guy being there if they're selling that

(01:15:39):
kind of stuff. So yeah,it'll be interesting because you know, when
we all when they sign up,I don't always know exactly what they have,
so it'll be interesting to see whatwe have. But we have like
Breaked magazine coming out this year.That'll be cool to covering the event.
We got two Wheelers Motorcycle, whichis a you know, iconic shop and
in Dan for here that's been thereforever and he's always got like super cool

(01:16:02):
old stuff and he takes up abig space in the corner. It's a
lot of clubs, you know,people that are there to to do different
things and just spread the word aboutwhat they're doing. Yeah, and yeah,
you'll see some crazy stuff for sure. All right, man, I
didn't see the lie detector test.Maybe there will be those two, you

(01:16:23):
know. I look, there's notgonna be one. I do it a
heartbeat. Yeah, yeah, forsure, that's funny. That'd be fun
because you know, I just wantto get one just to sit in our
booth and be like, all right, man, hooky willup. Let's start
asking you some weird questions. Haveyou been over two hundred dolls an hour?

(01:16:45):
Oh yeah, you lie? Allright man. Really cool stuff and
the bikes really so if you're afan of you know, custom wow crazy
bikes with all kinds of crazy cooland gravy and you know, characters painted
into the frame or the tank orthe you know how some bikes will just

(01:17:09):
be built and they're real fluid intheir design. Big front wheel and the
rims on incorporated it, and itflows off through the fenders and the side
panels and the backfender. Man,they got all kinds of wild offerings like
that. They have all kinds ofold school Harley stuff. Probably find some
you know, Whackadodo Triumph fans outthere and those bikes as well. I
got a seventy two Bonneville that almostkicks me off of it the time I

(01:19:21):
for a couple of years. SoI've written down there a few times.
I don't know, because I youknow, I'm a family man now,
so it could. Yeah, yeah, I'm probably gonna ride in a truck
like a real family man does buymore stuff that way too. Yeah,
yeah, exactly, that's my reason. What's yours? Are you going ride

(01:19:45):
down there? I whipped out lastyear? I took the car. I
know, all right? Man,Well right out, Scott, Thanks buddy,
We appreciate it. It's funny.A good take care soon. What's
the what's the rules about riding witha kid on your motorcycle? As far
as so, when I was akid, my dad would put me and

(01:20:05):
my brother on the on the infront of him with helmet. It was
much bigger than her head was wereif you were my dad, No,
the Harley came down, there wasno Helbert. I was on the take
and that's how I got introduced tomotorcyclic. So my dad had a football
helmet for a punter that he boughtthe yard itself for like two bucks.

(01:20:29):
That was like glitter blue, andthat was it looked like a bibblehead.
He put it on her head justso we'd have one, and it would
all like wobble around in the windbecause it was like a full size adult
helmet. We were just kids.But he would put her hands right there
in the middle bar, you know, on his kazaki, and he'd be
like hold on, and he wouldgo so fast the air would make me
like choke. It would come tomy not steel my throat so fast because

(01:20:53):
my mouth was like, oh mygod. There. You know, what
is the rules about this being ableto write? Are you allowed to?
You are put your kid on yourbike? There's there's really no rules even
protective gear. There's no rules.You just have to have eye protection.
Really yeah wow, yeah, soyou could ride. You could put your

(01:21:16):
kid on the I mean to acertain age, I want him on the
front. But then when he's ableto clean a round wrap around my torso
I want him on the back.Did you look some upscoop Yeah, ws
fine carding to This is a lawyer'swebsite, but says if a motorcyclist has
a passenger. They must have aproper passenger seat behind the operator's seat.

(01:21:38):
They must have foot rust well yeah, yeah for the bike. Yeah,
what if a gig can't reach themthe pegs? And is a kid passenger?
Is a toddler? Yeah? Well, I mean, is it the
best decision? No, I meanit wasn't for my dad. But here

(01:21:58):
here we are. I think itis a great decision. It's only no
crash. Yeah yeah, I mean, you know, look at that.
That's one of the grain hard memoriesI have as a child is anytime a
dad would take us anywhere in themotorcycle. I loved it. Like he
picks us up in nursery school.My first you know memories in nursery school.
His dad picks U up on amotorcycle. I thought it was so
cool at the at the moment,and listen, how shady this is.

(01:22:20):
My dad picks U up in nurseryschool one at a time. Bro.
He would take us on the motorcycle, rip us back to the house and
go get my brother. And Iwas like, yeah, that's cool with
us. Well, and I wasthe coolest guy on the Harley, no
helmet on the tank. Oh yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, it
was big fun. Right, Sothis I wonder if that's legal. According

(01:22:42):
to this, they have to betall enough to reach the footpegs. Okay,
all right, And if you're thetanks, it does it say anything
about being on the tank in there? I don't think it says you have
to be in a upper seats?Okay, so the take is a seat?
Yeah, proper? I mean,who's interpretation of proper are we going

(01:23:09):
with? The passenger may sit behindthe driver or in a sidecar that's specifically
designed for a passenger. A passengermay not sit in front of the driver.
And they must wear I wear despitesitting in the back. Okay,
so there is lame were Now wejust gotta we got a definition of proper.

(01:23:29):
Hey, look what's proper to thespiders? Chaos to the fly you
know? So you know whatever whatever? Now we know, so no riding

Paradise, but it took us toSanta Bell Island, which is right across
this two mile causeway. Remember thatplace got hit with the hurricane, so
the causeway is all in the construction. Well, Santa Bell Island, where
we were at earlier with my sonriding around or flying around, chasing seagulls
and whatnot. He uh, itwas wild because he, being the Uber

(01:25:23):

and we're like, oh, weshould have just stayed over here.
Well, he drops off of astrip mall. We see the Adventures in
Paradise store, walk in the storeand we're like, where's the marina.
Maybe it's a shuttle, you know, because the hurricane came through, maybe
wiped it up. Anyway, We'relike all right, and it ain't nothing
but a T shirt store. Sohe's like, oh, I gets the
wrong place, so our bat ourfault. We go and try to get

(01:25:45):
an uber to Uber back. Well, Uber doesn't come there. Uber lift
on because the toes so significant toget across it to get on the island.
No Uber lyfts is over there,so I can take us the one
taxi service is just a dude wholives on them, you know, and
he's got his phone shut off,So what are you gonna do? We
start walking back towards the causeway,which is the bridge. I know we

He's now riding on my shoulders becausehe was tired from chasing seagulls. You
ton of is between Monica and Iwalking, you know, on the side
of the road. There's no sidewalk, it's just grass. Well, Monica's

can't have tolerance hitch hiking. Shecalled nine one one on us. She
rolls like, I'm calling the cops. I'm like, she ain't hiking,

(01:26:46):
