Speaker: This is the Garage Avenger Podcast.
Speaker: Welcome everyone to the Garage Avenger Podcast. I'm Kieran, the far more uglier twin trying to turn my garage brewed beers into a world-renowned brewery.
Speaker: Yeah, I'm glad you said you were the far more uglier one. And I'm Justin, trying to share the joy of building illegal street vehicles, aka death machines, in my garage with the hope of one day making living out of it. That was not that bad, Kieran.
Speaker: I told you it was nice. ah That was actually pretty good. yeah i mean i I have been toying with the idea of my illegal street machines. It's got a much nicer ring to it. I think if you put illegal street machine on a YouTube video, bang, views.
Speaker: Well, actually, you say that and I've been talking to ChatGDP about this.
Speaker: Old friend ChatGBT. She's a good one, that one. Is it a she? Are we going to assume that AI is- call it a she because, know, you just want- If you want a robot to, like, murder you in your sleep, you want it to be a woman, let's be honest. Yeah, well, yeah, I guess that's true. You don't some sweaty dude hanging over you, murdering you.
Speaker: No, you'd rather be... Some sweaty oiled machine. yeah Choking me out in my sleep. No, what a sexy robot.
Speaker: You want one of those fembots. Yeah, you want one of fembots from Austin Powers to the murder you in your sleep. With the guns and the boobs.
Speaker: Exactly. Yep. Yep. ah Well, anyway, we'll get on with the script here. We're twin brothers with a passion for creating the wild and unexpected, taking you on a ride through our everyday life in our garages.
Speaker: Welcome, everyone, to the Garage Avenger podcast. yeah ah We first normally try and share what we're drinking. So today, yeah' going to go straight into this.
Speaker: That was a nice timed...
Speaker: that was a nice times What have we got, Kieran? Today i'm I'm drinking a beer that, like, normally I get all these things that people actually can't really get their hands on terribly easily.
Speaker: So I'm like, you know what? I need to mix it up with something that people can actually maybe find somewhere. And this is Amundsen's Helles Good Lager. Helles Good?
Speaker: Helles Good, yeah. As in Helles Lager, i.e. German-style Lager. so Okay. Yeah. so it's ah I should also add here to the listeners, we are back recording Monday morning.
Speaker: It's 9.15 in the morning. 9.15 and I'm having my best beer. Let's go. Beer's on. ah This is a 5% lager. This is a bit bit like, it's not a 4.7.
Speaker: Not that there's like, you can actually really taste, you can taste a little bit of a difference actually. between 4.7 and a 5, in my opinion. But that's me. So um it's pretty clean.
Speaker: um It's unfiltered, so it's not going to be crystal clean, but it's pretty clear, nevertheless. I can actually see Justin's face through the glass. So that's a good sign. So there we go.
Speaker: Hellas Lager. Yeah, Malt Forward Lager. A little bit like sweet, actually.
Speaker: Sweeter than I would expect from a lager, typically. and But still very easy and refreshing. I think um it's it's kind of closer to an Australian lager than anything. ah Australian lager will probably be drier, though. That's certainly difference. What do you rate it, Karen? I don't know.
Speaker: boom Well, I'm going to do like this annoying thing with people like that use untapped and stuff is they'll compare a like 10% Imperial Stout with a 4.7 like session lager.
Speaker: you know And then they'd be like, well, of course the Imperial Stout's going to rate higher because it's like so much more complex and flavorful. You can't do that. It's ah it's a different scale. so I agree.
Speaker: um This is going to be a lager scale based on lagers that are similar in profile. And I'm going to give this um
Speaker: a three and a half out of five. Okay, three and a half. Nice. The only reason for that is is that yeah I would like it to be, as a lug, I would like it to be drier and maybe a little bit more bitterness just to drive it through.
Speaker: But to be honest, if it's drier, it would be more bitter. So um there we go. 3.5 for me. What are you drinking, Justin? Well, I have a choice of two and I need you to help me choose. Okay.
Speaker: It's either... Mystery can. Mystery can.
Speaker: Go on. Cosmic Christ. Go on. Give it to the people. the people want to know how it is. All right. because like you tells something It's one thing to hear from me.
Speaker: ah Yeah, but I have high expectations of this now because I mentioned Northern Monk Brewery like two weeks ago, I think it was. Yeah, yeah. You have to be though. You have to be honest. You can't me biased ratings. And then you said, just wait till you try Cosmic Christ is better.
Speaker: Now, I will be the judge of that, to be honest. You will be, technically. Yeah. I mean, judging beer like that is so subjective, but you know.
Speaker: i agree. Now, I have to say your label is awesome, by the way. yeah It's cleaner than it was before, right?
Speaker: ah Yeah, I tweaked some things, made the logos bigger, didn't do the and embossing foiling. I just did the just did relief from the silver layer underneath. So I just made it a bit cleaner and actually kept the cost down, which is good.
Speaker: So, yeah. um I showed this to my neighbor and she's like, oh, what's this? Yeah. And she said something about like, this would be interesting for her restaurant that she works for.
Speaker: So there you go. That's a lead. Cool. All right.
Speaker: It is a hazy pale ale. um It has like a – like weirdly when I look through it, you look better, Kieran, even though I can't see you.
Speaker: Joke. And I'm sure after I drank a couple of these, you'd look a lot better too. um
Speaker: Very fruity and I – geez, I'm going to just taste it because – You've set these highest expectations. All right, go on. Dive in. Now, I have to say i did pre-warm the cans a little bit.
Speaker: They've been out for about half an hour. Yeah. So hopefully that's at the right temperature. should at the right temperature. Yeah. There you Moment of truth. I'm waiting. Oof.
Speaker: It's killing me. Yeah.
Speaker: How do I say this without being a dick? hu i has's not It's not as good as Northern Monk.
Speaker: So there's something on the tongue with this. On the tongue? Yeah, for me at least anyway. now saying that... I don't know if that's because of my palate right now.
Speaker: What you had for breakfast. Being you know what i you know well I had a coffee. That's but that's all I've had. That's probably not going to help you though. Yeah, 100%. And you know the fact is this would taste weirdly better after like a hot summer's day you know out there.
Speaker: out and about. Yeah. Like that, this would taste really good. Uh, what, what the only thing only, let's just talk about the benefits. Like this, this is really nice.
Speaker: But I end up comparing it to Northern Monk's Faith, which is a 4.7 as well. yeah Saying that, Northern Monk is a hazy pale ale, not a hazy Indian pale ale.
Speaker: So I don't know if that's any different. Probably just a more of a mention on like more of a were a reference to the bitterness. Though I think that's it's both a pretty mild.
Speaker: I think, yeah so my my opinion is that the Northern monk's faith is a little smoother than this, Kieran. This leaves like a little like ah prickly feeling on your tongue, like a set like a slight sour. And I think that could be to do with your lactospacillum or whatever you put in it.
Speaker: No, um there's no lactose bacillum. Sorry, what did you put in it that it was different? I forgot. In this, there's lactose, which is sweet.
Speaker: I think it probably has more to do with the hop combinations. um This has got Galaxy in it, which typically has a passion fruit descriptor.
Speaker: which Yeah, it definitely smells like it. Yeah, so it definitely gives it a more acidic type profile. Yeah. And so it just, it's a, yeah it's a different beer. It's like, I mean, if I had brewed Faith with the exact same hops, the exact same dry hopping regime, uh, same malt bill, all the rest, and then you could compare apples for apples.
Speaker: But, uh, yeah, I mean, it's different. And I, I think Faith is a great beer just for the record. um, Yeah, I really – like this is a good beer. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker: You're really selling it to me, Justin. I gave – – Tell me my livelihood. I gave – Quiet, Karen. I'm trying to give you – I'm trying to give you daps, okay? Right. um I gave Faith 4.5. Yeah. 4.4. It's so – ah this is a four point four ah so You're right, is it is a different beer, but it's so drinkable. It's so easy.
Speaker: I highly recommend it. It's probably the best 4.7 hazy pale, Indian pale ale I've ever tasted. What do you think of the body on it though?
Speaker: like I think it's really good. like It feels thick in your mouth, which is so much nicer than a normal 4.7. yeah i've I've tried some of those horrible industry IPAs,
Speaker: that claim to be like a, you know, thick body. and You just, you're like, what? This tastes like water. Yeah, right. Like, yeah.
Speaker: Success, Kieran, success. There you go. Happy days. 4.4. I'll take it. I'll take it. Well, let's talk about your brewing, Kieran. What has been happening in your world?
Speaker: i'm Not a lot of brewing. yeah last week ah i call bullshit on that because you are working for Armisen still, right? Yeah, on a part-time. So, I mean, technically I brewed – what did we do?
Speaker: We brewed – apocalyptic thunder juice and hop liminal messages last week. So technically I did ah did brew those beers.
Speaker: ah The first time on the brew house with those guys, like so that was good. um I've kind of – now they've I've done all the back-end seller work for a good while now and now they're kind of leading me through the the brew house and getting all that.
Speaker: um, understanding the way their system works with that, which is kind of cool. so lots to learn, which means I'm pretty exhausted at the end of the day and don't have much energy for much else. So, but, uh, on the actual Eucharist side, it's been accounting this, this, uh, week. That's what I've been dealing with.
Speaker: And I fucking hate accounting. Oh, it's so weird. it, it it brings something visceral up in me, like ah so some so some psychological trigger from my upbringing or something like that. Because every time I'm like, oh, no, have I done this right?
Speaker: i' like I'm filled with anxiety around the idea of like doing something wrong with accounting and getting in trouble with Scott or something with a tax department. So it's it's a fascinating inner journey as much as a frustrating outer journey with just trying to go through the numbers, go through and make sure I've, you know, doddled all the I's and crossed all the T's with everything that needs to be done there. So I'm in the process of that. Still got more to do Found out like some things that I've been claiming I can't claim in the way that I can't that i did before. I have to redo a bunch of shit like that. So that's most of my... um
Speaker: wake been spent on that, unfortunately. And then we had... um You know, I was back to like kind of the grind of trying to decide where things are going.
Speaker: This week, the... the Holy Ghost is bringing brewed commercially. Oh, exciting. So that's ah that's going into production, I think, tomorrow.
Speaker: I have double check with the guy. um so that's cool. um so were in the The main thing there is I'm going to have be there for packaging to make sure that the chili is what what it should be on that one.
Speaker: So that's exciting. And for... and for like For me, I think that will be um a make or break for the future.
Speaker: If that beard does really well, that projects to the next level. If it bombs, ah then I've got to do some soul searching.
Speaker: So um I believe it's going to do really well. But, you know, the people will decide at the end of the day. And so that's really, really.
Speaker: and then the rest is, is I've been building a deck. like out and they We ripped the deck up last week and, and I've been rebuilding the deck.
Speaker: So that's been my week in a nutshell. The, I've, I'm not the biggest fan of of home renos, to be honest, mostly because there's small things I always fucking forget.
Speaker: Then it makes a headache for me later. ah What stresses you out about these home renos? Because I've heard you talk about like getting frustrated about doing housework and things like that before. like What is it?
Speaker: Cause I'm a dreamer. i I'd much rather just be like off off thinking about something or out with friends and, you know, just enjoying myself rather than like the, there is a small joy in finishing a project. I will admit that as now, like I've kind of more or less finished the, all the, the plotting of the, the, the boards.
Speaker: And then now I've kind of just, or pretty much finished all the stair supports with their little bricks that they sit on in a pile of, um gravel so they don't sink too much and move too much in the summer and winter.
Speaker: and ah And so I'm like, so that's just, it's more or less ready to start laying the stairs now and some things like that. So there's um there's some real... ah satisfaction in getting that done. And I think when I put the last plank down, I'll be like, fuck yeah.
Speaker: But um it's ah it's used the whole weekend, that's for sure. Lynn had to take the kids away, went down to your place this week. and then Yeah, it was just super nice, by the way.
Speaker: and And I was out there slaving, screwing fucking boards in until the cows came home. And it takes way longer than I wanted it to take. so It always does. Yeah.
Speaker: It always does. I'm like, yeah, I'll bang this out in a day. If I had four people there helping me, probably good. So let's ah let's talk about your business side of things. Sure. You've got – ah You've still got the Nordic Triple yeah available, right? Yep.
Speaker: ah You've now also got ah three Australian wines come being imported in. Yep. Which will be available next week or week after for everybody. 7th of May, so not next week but the week after.
Speaker: Yeah. So that's exciting. ah You're now brewing... what I believe is your best beer ever, Holy Ghost.
Speaker: Yep. In my opinion, things are looking amazing. Yeah, it's um it's funny how ah perception and reality of things...
Speaker: what you You start to evaluate when things start going up and down like this and you start to look at how the you know how things are selling. But you actually start to – like the thing that's that's that's got me ah this at the moment is the accounting because you start to see the numbers and the numbers are, let's be honest here, depressing.
Speaker: As much as there's a lot happening and there's a lot moving forward, the numbers are very sad. but what are What are we talking? Are we talking you losing lots of money are you breaking even? Like what what are we talking about?
Speaker: Uh, the, the 2024, not, I haven't, uh, some figures yet to be decided, and but I'm, me I'm losing.
Speaker: 50, 60,000 at least. I think that's a very conservative number. But you also have a bunch of stock you haven't sold yet. Yeah, that's true. And that carries over. And that's worked out in the accounting, like what you've – you know, what stock you've bought and what transfers over to the next calendar year.
Speaker: um So the the the biggest factor is actually like, for example, like the Nordic triple, I've got five pallets of that sitting in a warehouse right now.
Speaker: And that, a is the there's profit margin on those bottles and that's you know really great. But every month there's a fee for the storage and the the distribution that I um set up with and that eats away at the products, profit margins every month.
Speaker: So basically I worked out, we if I don't sell anything else in that time, i have basically until ah February or March next year to sell all that triple before I start going in minus.
Speaker: Which is easy. On every bottle sale. So how much how much selling you actually doing to get the triple moving?
Speaker: To be honest, not enough.
Speaker: Not enough. So that's just, that's the answer, right? It's going out and sell. Yeah. Just go out and go to restaurants, go to places. You can't rely on Vina Monopola to move product.
Speaker: Neither can you rely on Norway, let's be honest. to move You know, we've we've talked about this many times before. um And they they there are many challenges ahead with that. And I've just got to chip away at them and and do my best to try and move move it forward.
Speaker: and So I'm doing what I can with the time I have. And and the challenge there's challenges of... of running a business, doing a side job and ah having family with small kids.
Speaker: and So time is my biggest a factor here at the moment. So I'm working as best I can. But there are certain things that take priority, like getting my taxes in order before the end of May.
Speaker: So that's that's where my focus is right now, to sound very boring. I'm sorry. So on ah out of my boring crap, Justin, and on to your more exciting things, tell us what's been happening in the garage.
Speaker: yeah Nothing. Nothing. You've clearly been doing something, though. No, I haven't done shit this week. I mean, I saw some pictures of the of some bodywork pieces on them on the WRC car. That's exciting.
Speaker: Well, this week has been very slow because on Tuesday i went to the doctor and And got my little tubes tight.
Speaker: Tubes snipped. Snipped. Chubby, chubby. I got... I...
Speaker: Excuse me. Choppy, choppy. yeah ah So I want to share my experience with this. Okay, do tell. Because, Kieran, you like talked it up like, oh, yeah, you just go in there and the old fucking and then it's done and like, and you're out and then you're good to go. And like, yeah, you have a a little bit sore for a couple of days and so on and so forth.
Speaker: Mm-hmm. So, I went into this private place, surgery place in Tonsberg. Was it a butcher shop? or Wow. I'm about to get to that.
Speaker: So, your book online, yeah you don't speak to a person at all. No. No. just Yes, I would like my balls chopped off.
Speaker: Book done. One o'clock, Tuesday, you're coming in getting balls chopped off. You get into the waiting room, there is not a soul in there. it just said There's a sign saying on the wall saying, sit and wait for your name to be called.
Speaker: Right. So you're like, okay. So that the first human interaction you have with this whole process is meeting the guy that's going to chop your balls off.
Speaker: So in my case, it was a guy called Jan Edek who was like, I don't know, probably late 60s. Yeah, good old Jan.
Speaker: Very... so How do I say this? Camp. Oh, really? Yeah. Loved the little dingle down there. Yeah, he he's like, the way he shook my hand was like, like you know, just like, you're going chopping my balls off?
Speaker: ah ah Damn. So anyway, we get in there. He's like, yeah, you have to sign this bit of paper. Yeah. and And I was like, is this it? Yeah.
Speaker: And he said, oh, i I guess I could tell you what we're going to do. like, yes, please. I would really like to know this because, you know, I'm just a little bit nervous about getting my balls chopped off.
Speaker: And he he explains a little bit of what we're going to do. and he goes, right, just come through here. And so I get into the like the operation room whatever you want call it.
Speaker: And it's so sterile and empty. Yeah, butcheting. And there's not there's no there's no sound, there's no music, there's nothing nothing to distract you. Yeah, what did you what did you have in mind that were like... do do do do do Yeah, some sort of elevator music or something, right? Yeah.
Speaker: And I lie down on this freaking paper, you know, covered bed. Yeah. You know, like they always are. And he's, you know. and
Speaker: He's like, oh I'm going to give you the anesthesia, right? Yeah. And so he gives me the anesthesia. That's probably the worst bit would have. Yeah, was going to say, I was like, holy shit. What is going Some guy's probably just having your nutsack with a needle. Yeah, and yeah and it goes like like you feel it right up in your throat.
Speaker: yeah He's just like, oh, God. But that is the worst bit, right? And I was waiting for him to say like, You know I was waiting for to say, like, ah can you feel my lips on your cock?
Speaker: Oh, no? yeah good. though we're We're all good to go. like ah yeah This poor surgeon's going to bloody sue you this defamation of character.
Speaker: And I was just, but then, so he had to give he had to give me three. He didn't give me enough in the first little, like, shot. So he stabbed my balls three times ah get him to get them numb enough to operate.
Speaker: We should have figured out that those elephant balls of yours just needed a couple more. I know. he was too busy fucking oogling them probably. I don't know. Yeah.
Speaker: But then like the worst thing is like he started chopping before, that like after the second one. I'm like, hold on. Like I can i can feel what's going on down there. like And I'm looking at the ceiling and there's nothing on the ceiling to look at.
Speaker: Yeah, I talked to the guy. i was just like, I was ta chatting up a storm. because like I did not chat up a storm. I didn't want this guy to get an erection. didn't. I was looking at the light. I was trying to read serial numbers on the lights and the fire alarms that are up there.
Speaker: I refused to look down because I was like, if I look down, um going to be traumatized. He didn't have they didn't have like a little like, because, you know, when I went there, they had this little kind of like a thing know and they literally like pulled my fucking cockaballs through this like sheet.
Speaker: Yeah, they did that, but if I looked down, i would have seen it. Oh, really? Yeah, there was no barrier prior there though they did that to me. You got a hack job.
Speaker: Dude, and he's like, I could feel him fucking pulling the... Pull on the my ball sack and the, what do you call it, the tubes. and So he didn't use a cauterizing gun like you got done.
Speaker: Yeah. He sewed this oh old school, was stitched up. Oh, fuck. So I could feel every like, because he it took time. I'm like, ah. yeah It's like he got pleasure watching my legs just jitter around. Like, ah.
Speaker: You're selling this for people. I was like, hey, hey, hey, hey. I wanted to be honest. I wanted to be honest about my experience, Kieran, because you sold it out like it's this rainbows and unicorns experience. That's not problem. You went to a fucking hack.
Speaker: but i I had a brain professional who's done, was just like, it was easy snip, snap, stoop, like done.
Speaker: Easy peasy. Yeah. But anyway, yeah, you, uh, I got, I got it done and it was a the worst thing is like, you think they'd give you like an injection in the balls and it would do the whole balls, but no, they have to go to the other side and then also give you injections in your balls. You have to do two sides. You have to have two sides.
Speaker: Like, why don't you just numb the whole thing down there? So I don't feel a thing. Like, Yeah, because you've got to walk out of the place. If you can't, like, if they do the whole thing, you probably negs legs go numb and you can't walk out of the place. Maybe, but, like, ah.
Speaker: So it was, i to be honest, it felt like eternity in there. ah really? But Kristen's like, oh, that was quick because Kristen was waiting me for me in the waiting room. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: And ah like for me, it felt like I was in there for an hour, just getting hacked. ah like i In my head, there was blood flying everywhere. My nutsack was wide open.
Speaker: like was so and then, but okay, so to be honest, everything's worked out great. Yeah, that was a pain afterwards. Yeah, it wasn't so bad. It was like a ah numb, like, you know when someone kicks you in the balls and then like and like a minute to two minutes after there's like this ache yeah you have?
Speaker: It was kind of like that. But just for like the first day or two. And then it suddenly slowly dissipated. And then it was just a bit awkward to like move them and and like, you know, you kind of have to support them in some tight jocks or whatever, you know. Yeah. um But for days after, i was like, I remember just sitting down at dinner.
Speaker: And just waiting for Kristen to come bring some of the food down eat. And I just remember being like feeling like I wanted to cry. was like, my manhood. You're that precious about it. i Yeah, i I don't know why i was precious about it, but I wanted to cry nearly. was like, so I feel so violated.
Speaker: This 60-year-old gay guy just chopped my balls. He didn't chop them off, Justin. I know, i know you want he's like What do you think? He just got down there with an elastic band and tied it real tight around your nutsack and it just dropped off?
Speaker: That's what was like. That's what I felt it like. It was honestly, I just felt for days after, I just felt like I wanted to cry, like I'd done something wrong.
Speaker: Yeah. I don't know why, but it was just, it was frustrating too because the next thing is like, you can't do shit.
Speaker: Like you you can probably start doing stuff. Yeah. But I didn't want to risk it because if I like all of a sudden start doing stuff and then I had issues with my nutsack and then I'd have to potentially go back to that guy. tell So I'm like, I am just taking it easy.
Speaker: I'm going to lie down for like three days straight and do absolutely nothing. Three days on the couch eating popcorn. It's brilliant. Yeah. I will i refuse to go back to this guy and get checked up on.
Speaker: yes But I've had that so hard. On the plus side, Justin, you've literally, you you're like, listen, Kristen, you've got to blow me at least 30 times clearing out the pipes after you're ready for that one. Give it a two weeks something.
Speaker: But like... Yeah, got to clean out the pipes. I got to blow me 30 times, make sure we're not firing any loaded guns here. Yeah. We'll see if she falls for that one.
Speaker: A man can only try. but ah to be honest, the hardest thing this week is actually being doing nothing. Like for me, knowing like my garage is probably from the sofa to the garage door is probably, i don't know, maybe like 25 steps.
Speaker: Yeah. You know, and like I could just take 25 steps and be in the garage doing something, but instead i'm watching Netflix and I'm watching my phone way too much Nothing here. I got crazy into like Sleep Token, like Rabbit Hole.
Speaker: I just like, don't know, all of a sudden I was like watching Drumeo, like interview with two. And i was like, oh, this is sick.
Speaker: I was really into it. And then then Super Ordinary came out with his new video. Oh, yeah. And I got super duper into that. I watched the the first one the other day. It was actually really good. It was good.
Speaker: ah So, to be honest, doing nothing really sucked. Like, I really suck at doing nothing. there's always There's a bunch of people out there that just like, what?
Speaker: What? but love doing nothing. I think a lot of there's a lot of people that just do nothing every day. But but for me, I can't i can't handle that. no like i oh I have these big ideas and projects. I know it takes hundreds of hours to complete these and to be sitting on my ass for three days, not really okay for me.
Speaker: So I was also dealing with that trauma. Trauma.
Speaker: ah Well, you know, just so a word of advice for people out there. Don't go to a butcher. like Don't go to your local butcher shop to be like, oh, come on. Just need an old choppy chop.
Speaker: And he's like, it gets out the big, big cleaver. Nope. Go to a trained professional. The only thing I said to this guy is like, how How many times have done this? And he's like, I've lost count.
Speaker: that's but That's the only thing we really talked about. Otherwise, it was super awkward silence and then and listening to his refrigerator vibrate.
Speaker: You should have come up to Drummond to do it. Like my guy, he was like, he was smooth as, and I haven't had some like half decent nurse fondle in my nutsack after, like before. you? Yeah. She was swabbing me and all that jazz.
Speaker: Really? Yeah. So i was like, and then he, and I said to the guy, I'm like, how many have you done this exactly as you did? And he's like, I think this will be my 3,782 vasectomy whatever. like He had the numbers down. He was like, he knew it. He was like, this is my jam. This what I do.
Speaker: no I'm going to get a cauterizing. And I pretty much danced out of the place after.
Speaker: So Chris looked at my face. She's like, are you okay? I'm like, I feel violated.
Speaker: And you were in the Navy. I know. I never felt that such violation before.
Speaker: but Anyway, let's talk about garage stuff. You did mention ah Thomas coming with some parts. That has been super exciting. Yeah. It looks pretty sweet.
Speaker: have to admit. Thomas came with a bunch of parts for the World Rally car. Yeah. Now, he's printed 10 kilos of stuff. Now, you didn't really see all the parts in the video, i the little story I took, because he's also printed the rear wing.
Speaker: Yeah. Which looks freaking amazing. so But we can't really mount it up there show what like. No, you've to have something mounted on, yeah. Yeah. So really cool.
Speaker: ah But he ran out of filament. and pomaker Polymaker, it we were talking for ages. Polymaker is a filament company that was sponsoring him.
Speaker: yeah And he basically used 10 kilos of their filament to do this project. yeah ah And then we realized we're going to need at least another 40 kilos yeah of filament to get this project finished.
Speaker: And it was going to cost us around about maybe 30,000 kronos. Jesus. to To buy that. So I asked Thomas, I'm like, can you just try asking Polymaker, like send them a picture of the car now that like where the parts kind of placed over the car. Yeah.
Speaker: And you get an idea of what it how big it is and how so like how cool it is. Hmm. And maybe they'll like maybe that'll change their mind to sponsor a little bit more. So, ah yeah. So, basically, he's heard back. there look They said they would ah potentially support him in this project. Yeah.
Speaker: But they didn't want to know how much he needed. So, he he gave some ridiculous number. And I'm like, I'm so skeptical to see if they actually come back. With the full amount. Yeah. ah But we'll just see.
Speaker: I need 80 kilos. and he was like Well, he actually quoted 60 kilos. Okay. But I mean. yeah it's ah but but it made It makes sense because he's he he knows what he's talking about. Yeah. um He also wanted to change. So we printed the first little bit in PLA.
Speaker: here p l a plus or it's not PLA plus, it's the Polymaker's special type of PLA, which is super durable.
Speaker: Yeah. ah Except its melting point is about 65, 60 degrees. So if you leave it out in the sun. Yeah, so it's a bit of an issue there. Yeah.
Speaker: And then so we started talking about like, oh, crap, might maybe this is not a great idea. Plus the engine heat, of course, as well. Yeah, right. um So we realized that we needed just print it in PETG, sorry, that's what I was going to say, ah which has like a higher melting point of like 85 degrees, but it's a bit more flexible. It's ah it's a more flexible a type of plastic. Right.
Speaker: But that's kind of good because we want it to flex a little bit because if you have it too solid, then everything is going to crack and fall apart. So I assume that it's better that we we have it a little bit flexible. And so that's what's been the talk between Polymaker and Thomas at the moment is ah can we get 60 kilos of PETG? Yeah.
Speaker: So we'll just see what happens with that. I don't know what we're going to do with the parts that we've already printed. Maybe we'll reprint them if we get the full amount. I don't know. So we'll just wait and see.
Speaker: o ah But either way, it looks pretty damn sick. Yeah, I mean, I have to admit, it look like I see there was only like the front bumper and a little bit of the over the wheel ah ah wheel hub.
Speaker: And it was just like, yeah look like you you start to see how the whole thing can kind of come together and you're ooh, that's going to be looking fucking sweet. Yeah, it's going to look so good. Yeah.
Speaker: So I'm pretty excited about that. o
Speaker: And I have been working on the motorcycle this weekend, which has been nice. Yeah. I've worked on... Uh, the rear fender, like the, the, the mud guard, I guess you could call it, which is basically the tray from the hand truck.
Speaker: Yeah. Nice. Uh, and then that also doubles as a support for the seat. So the seat has springs on it. Yeah. And because it's a hard tail motorbike, it's probably good that it's got springs on it.
Speaker: Yeah, exactly. Otherwise your ass would be like vibrated to help. Um, And then I've been working on how to set up the chain system and that has been absolute nightmare.
Speaker: o Because i don't know if you saw the story I posted yesterday, but like, so I've got a double chain system. So yeah primary like the primary chain goes from the engine to a, like a secondary sprocket. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: And then it has to, because the alignment of the fat wheel that I've got on there, i would have to move the engine over like seven or eight centimeters or something like that. And then it would look super weird and awkward.
Speaker: So I figured that instead of doing that, what I'll do is I'll just, I'll use secondary chain. So I'll do an offset chain. Yeah. So on the secondary sprocket,
Speaker: There's two sprockets there, which then goes to the main drive on the wheel. Yeah. I don't know. The terminology I'm using is probably off, but...
Speaker: It's been difficult because I don't know you saw it in the story I posted, but when I squeezed the primary chain, the secondary chain got tighter.
Speaker: Yeah, right. And that shouldn't happen. Right. Like it shouldn't tighten. Like it should be solid enough that it's not doing that. And like I was thinking, oh is it the supports? Is it the bearings that I'm using? Like what's moving?
Speaker: And then I was like racking my brain for like two hours. i was like, I added like, i started welding in supports and more stuff and I started adding more and more and more. And then all of a sudden I realized as I was squeezing like Wait a second, I can see air now between the frame and what I've got it sitting on.
Speaker: so The frame itself was bending. Oh, That's the problem with using a freaking hand truck for a motorbike because steel is so thin.
Speaker: like it bends. it's Of course it's going to bend, you idiot. So... I think I just have to just see if it bends too much or you know what what happens when it's sitting on it. Yeah, far out. I think we'll just have to see and see what happens.
Speaker: It could be that I just have to have like a spring tensioned, like a chain tensioner on it. Yeah. And that will solve my problem. But to be honest, I don't i don't want to. i think it looks really cool how it is. If I'm going to add this chain tensioner, it kind of ruins the look of it. And I don't know how stupid that sounds.
Speaker: but But that's how I'm about. Just doesn't look cool. ah Yeah. And then the next thing I've been thinking about is this is getting close to be finished. So I need to set a deadline. So I think, to be honest, I've got a deadline of being able to deliver it on the 17th of May. The video should come out the 17th of May.
Speaker: and think National Norwegian Day. good ah So my goal is to get the video out actually maybe the day before, hopefully.
Speaker: ah you going to Are you going to paint it to red, blue, and white? No. I'm going to just keep it the same as the go-kart.
Speaker: Nice. Because it just had the thumbnail has to work, right? Yeah. ah To get get people to understand, though, yeah wait a second, that is the same thing that I'm seeing in the little picture here of the hand truck converted to a bike. You have to be very clear about that yeah with your with the thumbnails.
Speaker: So I'm going to paint it blue. like Obviously, it's blue already, but you know I'm going to strip it down, prime it, and repaint it. Yeah. um I think it's going to look pretty cool.
Speaker: I don't know what to do with the fuel tank yet, whether I should just leave it to go rusty. i thought that would kind of be cool, make it look a little of rustic. Otherwise, I thought I was just but painting it like a matte black color.
Speaker: Yeah. um So we' just I'll just see what I think is going to be good. But ah I need to basically – by probably Tuesday next week, Wednesday next week, ah need to be kind of finished everything.
Speaker: So I need to put the push on so that the weekend after that I can go test it somewhere. So that's the next big thing I want to talk to you about is like, where should I go test this thing? push push Technically, it's illegal to ride. Yeah, right.
Speaker: But I still want to ride it somewhere. It's more of a... And it doesn't have the suspension to really go off-road anywhere. not no. So...
Speaker: I don't know. What do you reckon? Like...
Speaker: I kind of just – like part of me wants to just take it up like some sort of hill and a lookout, you know, like ah somewhere where cops aren't like hanging around for one. Yeah. you know And then maybe someone can follow me in a car and then we just throw it in the back of the car when we get to the top of the hill type of thing, right?
Speaker: um But I kind of just – yeah, I thought maybe it would be fun just to climb a hill ah and go to some sort of lookout. And I just wondered – you know Where is that? Where could I do that?
Speaker: Where's somewhere interesting that I could take this bike? so the For those Norwegian listeners, where can I take this bike? yeah I'm not going to get sprung by cops and saying, oh, that's an illegal vehicle. oh yeah so yeah i guess again Worst case scenario, I guess you can always take it to the Garage Avenger test track.
Speaker: I can, but it's so boring. Like, who wants to see me ride it around a bunch of barrels? It's true. It is true. It is a motorbike. It's a motorbike. You want that feeling of freedom, which is like that whole feeling of like...
Speaker: You know, going out on the open road, sort of along a coast road somewhere. alone, die alone. Yeah. Isn't that so funny that you've just got the chop and you're making a chopper?
Speaker: Don't joke about these things, To celebrate me getting my manhood chopped, I made this chopper.
Speaker: ah ah Yeah. Well, I mean, that sounds like things are happening. and I mean, deadline's good. Deadline's good to get you you're moving. and and Well, I need to set a deadline. Otherwise, all of a sudden, it'll slide out again and slide out and slide out.
Speaker: So my dedication is towards the chopper at the moment. like The 3D printing will happen ah with the car, so that will happen. I'm getting parts this week for the breaks finally. They should hopefully be in the mail ah today or tomorrow.
Speaker: 6,000 crowns later. Yeah. ah They will come and then ill you know we'll fix that. But I think, to be honest, I won't touch that car until I finish the bike. like I need to get the bike out and finished and video made, published by the 17th of May. so that's why that's my goal.
Speaker: So I guess we'll hear next week how that went. Yeah. Cool. It seems like you got a lot going on. and and i'm like that I'm really excited to see how the rally car works out.
Speaker: That's for sure. Yeah, it's a bit scary because you know you talked about your numbers being like bad. Yeah. My numbers are horrific.
Speaker: Yeah, right. yeah Right? So, like, I've used so much money and I'm getting zero return. Like, I don't even have product like you do, just sitting in a warehouse, right?
Speaker: Where you know you just have to sell it and then you'll be better off financially. Yeah. Right now, I'm waiting for some YouTube algorithm to make sure people see my video.
Speaker: that's That's what I wait for. And then you have zero control of that, which really sucks. And right now I'm 150,000 the red and I used all my cash up. and you know like the I think I just hit 30,000 kroners on the World Rally car.
Speaker: Yeah, right. There's no body printed yet. and like If we have to pay for filament, that's going to only increase, right? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker: and Will this project do well enough on YouTube that it could cover those costs? I don't know.
Speaker: So that's ah this these huge things I'm constantly thinking about and worried about, it's really hard yeah to keep on going, but I love it.
Speaker: That's a big thing. I love to do it. And i have to see the benefits, like it will work out. Like I can't think that it won't work out. I just have to do the work. I mean, i do the work, it will happen. Like it's the same for you, right?
Speaker: You do the work, it will happen. You work hard to sell the products you have, things will start happening. Yeah. like You can't just sit around them wait for it to happen. You can't wait for Vina Monopola to do something, right? You have to go out there and sell your stuff.
Speaker: Yeah, well, that's ah that's it, isn't it?
Speaker: So, Kieran. Yes, Justin. What's blowing your mind this week? This week, i Sigurd Jokobson is blowing my mind this week.
Speaker: Mind blown. No, Sigurd Jukursum is not a YouTube star. Sigurd Jukursum is not a famous ah individual here in Norway.
Speaker: he is just a good friend. And shout out to Sigurd, who probably would never listen to this podcast, to be honest. But he's such a fucking solid rock horse of a man. Like, I mean...
Speaker: I said to him, like, I'm going to start building rebuilding the truss. I need to rip it down first. And he's just like, oh, I've got this job finished early. like I'll throw the chainsaw and a few other bits and bobs in the car and we'll I'll be over.
Speaker: and I'm like, okay. So he just turned up and and he was like, help me dismantle the whole fucking thing. And then... and On top of that, he's like come back day after day after day, like helping out with whatever things, only sometimes only for an hour or two. But like what a fucking rock star. Like people like that in this day and age, so hard to find. Yeah, they don't exist. but he's He's got – and like he's of the of the mentality like you do what you can for your friends.
Speaker: You know? And he's just there because he wants to help because he's just that kind of guy. And, you know, and of course it's reciprocal. Like, well, if he ever asks for something, of course, all of I'll be there when he needs it, yeah?
Speaker: he needs his house painted. i mean, that's the other thing. Last year or two years ago, he painted a house. Basically spent three days painting helping me paint my house. I'm like, what a fucking rock star.
Speaker: champion Sigurd Jogubsen. What a fucking legend. so What a legend. Legend. So interesting side fact, Sigurd Jogubsen is English.
Speaker: ah He has a Danish dad. So he got a Danish name, but has spent most of his life in the UK. So we get on like house on fire.
Speaker: There you go. yeah, shout out to Sigurd. Blow on my mind. What a fucking fantastic top bloke he is. What's blowing your mind, Justin? Tell me, tell me, tell me.
Speaker: Well, you know what's blowing my mind is Super Ordinary's new video, The Rock. You're supposed to hit the button. Sorry. No. bloke.
Speaker: Okay, cool. Because I watched the first one that you recommended last week and I really enjoyed it. It was really nice. yeah It's really good, right? He's such a good storyteller and such a great cinematographer. Is that what you'd say? Yeah. yeah And you know like that guy's... that like Art directors that basically give him work as a as a graphic designer will lap that shit up. That's like that video has probably will turn over 10 times what it cost him in jobs he'll receive as a result.
Speaker: So it's smart. Actually, you're probably right. It's so smart. I didn't think about that. Oh, man. Because art directors from all over the world will be like, we're going to have this guy.
Speaker: Got to have him. Doesn't matter. And he's like, ah it costs three million crowns an hour. And he's like, and they're like, sure.
Speaker: So brilliant. Yeah. So second video's out. I haven't seen it yet. Second video's out. It's fantastic. And yeah it's about him going out into the forest, into the woods, and just being unapported unapologetically creative.
Speaker: Okay. Cool. ah Him and his brother go out and they... But the filming and everything and the way they build up suspense to what they've been working on for three or four days, you know, is so good.
Speaker: And then when you finally see it, I think i what i yelled out aloud. i think i like when I was watching it, I was like, ha-ha, what? Like I kind of... that There's such a...
Speaker: It's so well made. ah just It blows my mind. i'm i'm Now that's probably what I'm going to do after this.
Speaker: yeah But, Kieran, we do talk about what's giving you the shits, not what also is blowing your mind, but what is giving you the shits this week? Radiata pine.
Speaker: um oh my god
Speaker: does Oh, it's so bad, isn't it As the Norwegians would know, Furu... Sorry. sorry Voodoo, pine, radiata pine. It's the stuff that they make all the terrazzo board, the planks for the decks and stuff like that out of.
Speaker: It's impregnate. It's been fucked. ah
Speaker: In more than one way, impregnated ah boards. It's impregnated with fuckery. That's what it has been impregnated with because you cannot find a single board that is not fucking bowed, wonky, or full of fucking knots and defects.
Speaker: Like every single board I pulled out for my deck project has some fucking problem with it. Like impossible. And we're just talking about like a 120 mil wide boards, like not even the wide ones.
Speaker: It's why do you get the worse they get? And i'm just like, oh, for fuck's sake.
Speaker: Fucking furrow. Radiator pine gets me up my goat, I tell you. like why can you think The biggest issue with it is that it's it's produced in China.
Speaker: Is it produced in China? 100%. hundred percent canal yeah uh and then they ship it here yeah right and then because the climate's so different here yeah the the moisture in the air is so different it bends like a banana it's fucking so stupid because they dry it over there right well no they half dry it let's let's be honest let's be fucking honest if you buy this fucking fucked board as i'm going to now be calling
Speaker: impregnated board. It's wet as fuck. I'm like, I'm putting screws in and it's juicing. you know, literally like water coming out of the fucking board as I'm putting a screw through it.
Speaker: And let alone... hope you I hope you jammed all those boards next to each other. You didn't space them. I spaced them half a millimeter. I would have just jammed straight up because they're going to dry like a mother trucker and then they're going to... Anything that was super wet, I didn't space.
Speaker: Okay. That was my that was my my measurement. I was like, okay, if it's super wet, I just i don't space it. If it's like feeling like it's a bit of a drier board, um I'll give it a one half millimeter.
Speaker: Because what will happen is all of a sudden you have like 10 millimeter gaps between the ports. it's drunk so much. Oh man, it's going to shrink so much too. i'm like And that's the other thing. like One cannot expect miracles for 16 crowns and 80 erda per lineal metre.
Speaker: However, I mean, one can just hope. so One can hope. So that's what's giving me the shits.
Speaker: Radiata Pine this week. Yep. o Is it stays a time for me to sing? No. No. Is it not?
Speaker: No. Oh, tell me. You know what's given me the shits, Kevin? Oh, forgot. You haven't... Me butting in and telling you that we're moving on to the next segment.
Speaker: yeah What's giving you the shits, Justin? Tell me. Super ordinary. Who does number two work for? Hold on, hold the phone. Excuse me, the McShits. You just had mind blown and then the same thing as the McShits.
Speaker: yeah Because it's so freaking good, it makes you doubt everything you're doing. Yeah. It gives you the crap. Like, stop producing such amazing work on YouTube, you douchebag. Well, I mean, let's let's be honest here. You say, like, okay, the guy's got great cinematography.
Speaker: Probably not just him doing it. Maybe that brother is a fucking filmmaker, right? Right. and he's Maybe. And it's his brother filming all of it, more or less.
Speaker: and he's just like And he's got some serious help and his brother's film career is going to blow up out of this. And also his career. Maybe. Either way, it gives me the mcshits.
Speaker: Because... You watch the video and you think, ah, like if ah only i could do something like this. or like oh i was so like The second video inspired me so much. yeah i was like I was about to like drop everything I was doing and go do something else. like Super creative. yeah Because I just thought that's what I need to do. because it Because it's so inspiring. And i it gives me the shits because just it's just so good.
Speaker: You're about to cry, Justin.
Speaker: um'm I'm crying laughing because it's so good. It's so well put together. It gives me the absolute shits because it the it brings the bar up here.
Speaker: You know, like you just can't, like when you look at your stuff, you just like, you start crying because you're like, why is mine so epically cinemagraphic or cinematophic? I don't know how the word it's What's a word?
Speaker: see Cinemagraphic? No, that's not a word. ah so yes yeah, definitely definitely feel like I'm inferior compared to him and that's why he gives me the shits.
Speaker: And that's okay.
Speaker: Kieran, what's – well, I guess it's it's time for your singing. It is. Are you ready for this? Yep. Ready?
Speaker: Recommendation. Recommendation. What that yeah ro a
Speaker: Is it some sort of death metal, Kieran? ah ah That was my – yeah. ah recommendation for this week. what is you ah You go first, Justin, this week. What's your recommendation?
Speaker: My recommendation is super ordinary.
Speaker: Super ordinary. Go check out his new video. It's really good. All of a sudden, super ordinary. He's like, oh, he's suddenly got an uptick of seven views.
Speaker: I think he's worth looking looking into. He's super interesting to watch. ah I'm only looking forward to the next video. He sets high expectations.
Speaker: ah The real reason why I recommend is for others to go see Super Ordinary Videos is so they also feel the pain that I also feel. Well, you know, I guess it's just more to do. i mean it like i got something out of thought it was a really lovely video. It was heartwarming and interesting. and Yeah.
Speaker: So I think. Oh, you're going to love the rock video. It's great. The rock. Now you're giving away. ah Well, that's what it's called. The rock. Okay. There you go. The rock.
Speaker: no Well, you know what my recommendation is for this week, Justin? Justin? Tell me. A laser level. Oh, so useful. Get at a laser level, unlike me, who used a large spirit level, which clearly didn't get enough of the fall on the on the decking, and so the entire thing is on the fucking piss. so Rookie mistake.
Speaker: I just like, oh, man, it was like checked it. But the thing could – the level that had couldn't take more than – couldn't take more than two like ah like three um because they're between. And I couldn't do more than three at a time.
Speaker: So I like went around and checked, oh yeah, it's level there, it's level there, it's level there, it's level there. Except for the thing, as a general rule across the entire fucking thing, it's lean tipping down to one corner.
Speaker: I'm just like, and I didn't see it until I put the boards on. And it's too late. Or that I've to fucking... jack the corner up? I've got to fucking climb under the fucking truss and now I'm just trying jack it up and do that.
Speaker: I can try. can't use like a car jack and just like jack it up and then put some small... Like, what do you call it? shimmy. Yeah. Yeah. And I had done that in some places, but there's like, it's going to be...
Speaker: Tough to get into some of those places now. ah to have to unscrew boards and climb in there just to do it. Or you could just leave it. Or you could just leave it.
Speaker: It's a waterfall. like It's the way the water runs off the boards, right? Except for the fact that I can't unsee it now. Here's the question. Does Lynn see it?
Speaker: No, but I do. I'm like, every time I look at this fucking thing, I'm going to see it like, and then anytime one of the kids drops a marble or a ball or whatever, and it's it's just going to roll to the same corner every time. And I'll be like, why? yeah Why didn't I just fucking use a laser level?
Speaker: So why didn't you use a laser? Because I didn't have one. Rookie mistake. they I didn't have fucking three grand to fucking fork out for a laser level.
Speaker: You could have borrowed mine. don't want to drive to Tunsberg.
Speaker: Anyway, and save all that pain, Kieran. And anguish. Yeah. I think I'll take the anguish. 40 minutes drive there, 40 minutes back. yeah My other recommendation is good tools.
Speaker: Who recommendations to the game? Yeah. Because like there's like all this like thing. it's It's not the tools. It's the it's the her tool. like what is What's the saying? I don't know. It's not the tools that make the man. It's the man that make the tools whatever. I don't i don't know. But like fuck, I use this default drill that I learned from Zigit.
Speaker: And it was like a gazillion times better than the shitty Euler drill that I had. And it, like, battery didn't go dead sort after 12 screws.
Speaker: And it just fucking powered through. Like, my drill couldn't handle that. So good tools make a difference. Otherwise, I would have been fucking still out there screwing fucking planks in.
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, i I bought a new step drill this week. Step drill? Yeah, so it's like a drill it kind of like every every two millimeters it kind of gets wider so you drill bigger holes, right? yeah I saw one at Euler and I saw the one at Biltema and they were like 300, 230, 240 kroners something remember.
Speaker: depending where i was and then and i saw the one at youla made by bosh And it was 1,000 kronos. And I was like, I'm buying it.
Speaker: I'm like, I'm not going to go through this pain of buying ah shitty tool three times instead of just buying the one tool. Yeah. Right? I mean, if you're if you're planning on using it more than once, don't go the cheap option.
Speaker: I agree. Yeah. I had a Festool drill that died eventually, but it was the best drill I've ever owned in my life. Yeah. Except I couldn't afford to buy a new one. Festool.
Speaker: Festool, please buy Justin a new drill. I wish. ah Like that drill costs like 6,000 crowns. Jeez Louise. Yeah.
Speaker: But I mean, I swear by the the dev default ones are good. At least the drill was great. and So I can't say much about the other tools because I haven't used them.
Speaker: But yeah, there you go. Good tools. That's my recommendation, including a laser level. and ah There is one other recommendation I'm going to... Wow! Two, four recommendations this week.
Speaker: ah My recommendation is if you would like to support ah Garage Avenger and what I'm doing, i need your support because I'm building stupid, expensive projects. So if you would like to support me, you can support me on Patreon.
Speaker: And I want to give a massive shout out to the people that do support me. So thank you to everybody who does support me, no matter how little you contribute. It means a lot. ah But I do want to specifically shout out so ah my heroes, Thomas Buckner, Mark Foster, Janice Clems, Ullis Kittaren, Arthur Midgard, the Swedish maker, Mark Jones, and Stian Zuz. And I also want to shout out my sidekicks, who are amazing, Arna, Sylvester, and Thomas. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker: yeah Like what what is in it for the for the ah the sidekicks and the – at the top tier, what do you get? Do you get a handy or what?
Speaker: ah No, you get access to the the videos and stuff before I lease them. I also run – like I put out thumbnails, I ask for suggestions and how you think you do this a bit different. Yeah.
Speaker: ah video ideas, i give updates ah during project builds. ye And then on top of that, if depending which tier you sign up for, is depending on how much discount you basically get on merch.
Speaker: Nice. So the the people in the top tier, I can't remember, but I think they get pretty much free merch. Not free, but like cost price. Yep.
Speaker: And then ah both as it goes down, it goes less and less. To be honest, i I had this other system where I would like send ah letters and stickers and all this other stuff. And I found that like I would get people to sign up for a short period of time and then I'd end up sending this stuff out to them. I use a lot of time on that.
Speaker: And it sort of realized like, oh, wait, ah they they just dropped off soon as they got their stuff. It's because I didn't get a handy, Justin. you just Yeah, you're probably right. I probably have to get a handy.
Speaker: I should ask that doctor how to do them properly. um But yeah, so ah now basically everyone gets a discount on merch, which is, you know, it's an easier way for me to be able to give benefits.
Speaker: It means that this the system, they just get a voucher and they use that in my online store. Yeah. And they can use it as many times as they want. You know, they can use it ever they can buy one t-shirt or a thousand t-shirts and they get the percentage off every time they buy.
Speaker: And so if you think about it, you probably end up making money if you support me. And then reselling Garage Avenger merch for for profit. I would also say that I do have some merch out there for people who want to check it out. So just go to my website, garageofendure.com.
Speaker: I don't really sell a lot and neither is it very expensive. Neither do I make very much money on it. um But if you want to support me and what I do, then go check out garageofendure.com.
Speaker: but you can get like What kind of you can get? Like that sick shirt, that one with a... sick shirt there's some you're wearing no one has bought that no one has bought that because you can be the one person that buys this yeah collector's t-shirt collector's edition and then uh you got like hoodie like your one that you're wearing now which is pretty nice and you know the there's a bunch of t-shirts and things in there do you have a cap Yep, I got a cap. The cap's super nice, actually. I'm really happy with the cap. Yeah, so yeah, get on it. There you
Speaker: Well, I guess we'll leave you there, guys. Thanks so much for listening. You guys rock. ah We'll keep you updated with brewery and garage building projects yeah next week.
Speaker: Cheers, everyone. Bye-bye. Later, Gators.
