In S2E18, we talk through Robby redoing the Mustang shocks, helping with an oil change, and the never-ending debate between keeping things old-school or upgrading to coilovers. Ian recaps a packed beach day, a failed attempt at metal detecting, and a new tattoo idea involving Ultra Instinct Goku, Ultra Ego Vegeta, anime panels, and space-themed designs. We also get into LEGO side-hustle talk, old friends we should bring onto the podcast, classic car meets, and why the Slingshot might be too damn fun to sell.

SPEAKER_02

What's up everybody?

SPEAKER_01

It's Ian. And this is Robbie. And we're two assholes in a mic.

SPEAKER_02

Very well. It's gotta be a record.

SPEAKER_01

Uh oh. Yeah, it was both of them this time too.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. So what have you done today so far? None? Chilled?

SPEAKER_01

Uh I replaced the fucking grommets that I needed to, so basically I did the shock struts a second time. The shocks a second time on the Mustang. Yeah. Um, I still have to torque down the uh the lug nuts on the fucking on the wheels don't need I can't forget that. Put them down, put it down on the ground and then torque it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I haven't done that yet.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's right then.

SPEAKER_01

Uh and then uh one of Aaron's uh co-workers came over and I helped him change the oil in his shrook.

SPEAKER_02

Nice.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. 97 Chevy Silverado.

SPEAKER_02

Silverado?

SPEAKER_01

15 Hannah.

SPEAKER_02

Nice.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, dude, this shit was easy. The oil filter was somebody put it on hand tight like they supposed to. The damn the bolt wasn't like cross-threaded or nothing in the oil pan. Like I was worried about all that stuff.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, surprises me how many people fucking torque that shit on there. Both the the oil filter and the and the drain plug.

SPEAKER_01

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02

Like, bitch, read some directions.

SPEAKER_01

Read some directions. Watch a video.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Go to YouTube University.

SPEAKER_01

YouTube University. I mean, that's what I did. I'm not gonna lie. It was a different engine than the one that that he had, but it got, you know, it was the same gist of it. The only thing that was different was the freaking placement of the oil filter.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Which was a more convenient position.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Anytime I have a doubt, I always go to YouTube just to check it out.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah, it's like a refresher, almost.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was like, yeah, I think I know how to do this. Let me check a video real quick, make sure I'm right.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly. Did you just hear Roxy growl? I heard it.

SPEAKER_02

I heard it.

SPEAKER_01

Roxy, all done.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, the beach was fucking packed today.

SPEAKER_00

Ew.

unknown

Fucking packed.

SPEAKER_00

I wouldn't even want to go. I wouldn't even want to go to the beach.

SPEAKER_02

We've never been to this beach before. Wouldn't have wanted to go go to it and then uh I brought my fucking metal detector, but it was uh it was too rocky. So I couldn't really look for anything.

SPEAKER_00

No. Roxy!

SPEAKER_02

Shut your ass.

SPEAKER_01

Shut up your big headed ass up. Lay down and relax. Take a break. Take a break. Lay down. Roxy, lay down. Good girl. It's about time you lay down. It only took her 27 seconds. She gets like, she wants to lay down and she'd like just like can't figure out her life and shit. She'd like do a circle for like 27 times before she actually will like lay down. And she just took off again.

SPEAKER_02

It'd be like that sometimes.

SPEAKER_01

It'd be like that though.

SPEAKER_02

I was thinking about getting some new tattoos when I fucking I was driving home because my shorts I got my swim trunks on, they're pink flamingo shorts, but they're shorter. And so I was thinking about getting some on my thighs. Uh I was thinking about getting fucking uh Goku Ultra Instinct and Vegeta Ultra Ego.

SPEAKER_01

Nice. That'd be fucking dope. That's like Erin has uh strawberry shortcake right now and she wants to or wait, she has Rainbow Bright right now, and she wants to get strawberry shortcake on her other fucking thigh.

SPEAKER_02

Noise, noise.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but I know that's gonna fucking hurt.

SPEAKER_01

Really? I don't think it'll hurt there.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know, we'll see.

SPEAKER_01

I gotta figure out what I want to get on. I gotta get another loop, I gotta get a Luffy tattoo. I have a straw hat tattoo, but I gotta get a loofy tattoo. I'm thinking gear for like either bounce man or snake man.

SPEAKER_02

Have you seen those fucking um like beehive looking uh tattoos?

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_02

God dang it.

SPEAKER_01

Why would I get a beehive tattoo?

SPEAKER_02

No, it's not a fucking beehive, but it's like the pattern itself.

SPEAKER_01

Um like a like honey, like honeycomb?

SPEAKER_02

What's yeah, honeycomb style tattoos.

SPEAKER_01

I mean Erin got honeycomb on her bee tattoo.

SPEAKER_02

Uh I'll show you what I'm talking about. Let me find the picture.

SPEAKER_01

You don't even know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_02

I do. And each each honeycomb or each uh like geometric hexagon or whatever it's called is uh his own image. So like each hexagon placed next to each other, you can get like almost like a shelf or something. All the characters of your favorite fucking anime is.

SPEAKER_01

I said it was stupid and he left me. This is rude.

unknown

Quiet time.

SPEAKER_03

Quiet time, everybody.

SPEAKER_01

Just gonna sit here and be quiet.

SPEAKER_00

Welcome back.

SPEAKER_02

What the fuck happened?

SPEAKER_00

Well, the fuck over.

SPEAKER_02

I had the screen open and I was talking, and then all of a sudden I'm not talking.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you were gone, you just left.

SPEAKER_02

I don't even know how far I was.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know. It was a while ago. I literally just went silent. I was looked, I was all like, we're just gonna be quiet until he comes back. So I don't know if it was still recording or not.

SPEAKER_02

Uh if you were still recording, you still got your time counting?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Then yeah, you're recording.

SPEAKER_01

It was just quiet birds tweeting.

SPEAKER_02

Tweet tweet tweet weet. Alright, I sent that to you, and what's that? So you can either get one one image in the background, or you or each uh each hexagon could be its own image, maybe just the face of the character.

SPEAKER_01

I don't like it. Too much negative space.

SPEAKER_02

Uh uh. I like I like it.

SPEAKER_01

I think if it was individual images, I'd probably like it more. Like if each one of them was like an individual image, like that.

SPEAKER_02

I wasn't I wasn't gonna get the space. I wasn't gonna get the space between. I was actually gonna have them touch.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

But I think all all the hexagons would touch, so there the way there's no space in between that's kind of wasted. I'd probably think about the the faces. It's either gonna be something anime related or something like um astronomy related.

SPEAKER_00

Astronomy?

SPEAKER_02

I love fucking space, man. I I mean whether or not it's just a star or a planet or something just I don't know. I want to do it.

SPEAKER_01

You know what I wanted to do when I was young was be an oceanographer. You know what?

SPEAKER_02

I think we've I think that you have said that before.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I have.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yeah, that was or maybe we were just on the topic of of uh imaging the ocean floors.

SPEAKER_01

Zanu Oceanographer CMF had me thinking about it again.

SPEAKER_02

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. It comes with a clownfish, little clown Lego clownfish. Like molded, it's not built. Lego, it's not like brick built, it's a molded clownfish. It's cool.

SPEAKER_02

Oh no shit.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Nice. Yeah. How big? How big is it?

SPEAKER_01

It's like one stud big. Like it fit it'll fit on one stud. Yeah, you can buy a bunch of the CMF and then just like sell off the diver, the oceanographer, and just keep a bunch of clownfish and make a school of them. I thought about doing it, but uh, do I really want to spend like no 30, 40 bucks just to get a school of clownfish? One'll do.

SPEAKER_02

Maybe somewhere down the road they'll come by and you'll be like, you know what? It comes in a package, somebody's selling them some with a it comes with a clown fish, sure.

SPEAKER_01

Or if somebody's like on like Bricklinks sells like like sold like five or six of them at once. I'd I'd buy them up. I'd do that. I would definitely do that. Maybe I'll see if there's any bricklinks actually.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I'm sure. People do that.

SPEAKER_01

They'll they'll buy up the things and then they'll they'll they'll just sell all the torsos and they'll sell all the the hands and they'll sell all the legs, you know. I can't that's too much detail. That's too much.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, I guess if you what if you broke it down like that, then that'd probably be worth it, right?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, for sure. If you sold off each part individually, you can make money, but that's just so much work.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's a lot of time.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, because some people just want to buy just the legs or something, you know, or they want just they want a shit ton of just the legs so they can do them for mock building and stuff like that, you know. Or they just want the clownfish. Like for me, for instance, I just want the clownfish. I got one diver, I've got one the oceanographer. I don't I don't want more, I just want the clownfish.

SPEAKER_02

Crownfish.

SPEAKER_01

I just want the crownfish. And like uh the chocolatier comes with a chocolate dragon. Like the chocolatier's molding like a chocolate dragon. That's what the chocolatier CMF comes with. So people are collecting just the chocolate dragon. You know, it's like that big.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. You said it's just a block? Just one stud.

SPEAKER_01

One stud, and then then it's tall. It'll fit on one stud, and then it's like about that tall. You know, and then there's a unicorn that comes with the new CMF too. Unicorn elf. Unicorn elf. Uh, she's already going for like nine, ten bucks. Bam! Yeah, I got a bunch of her already. I scanned them. I scanned all the minifigs and I got the ones I wanted. I got a couple of the trash monster, a couple of the unicorn uh elf, couple of the vampire hunter, and one. Only one extra bionicle. Everybody wants that bionicle, dude. I only got one.

SPEAKER_02

Is it just rare or what?

SPEAKER_01

No, it's just everybody wants it because it's fucking cool as shit. Three come in a box. So if you buy a case, three of each one come in a case.

SPEAKER_03

Hmm.

SPEAKER_01

So I was thinking about buying a case. You know, I'll wait till that goes on sale, you know, goes down to like 150 bucks or some shit like that, and then I'll buy a case. And then it's like you get them each for like $375 apiece, you know. So if I sell them for five, you know, that way I'm like not I'm like not I'm still making money, but I'm not like overcharging people to make money. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I prefer I like getting deals so that like I can sell it close to retail and still make a few bucks. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. I'm gonna go grab my water.

SPEAKER_02

I think it's over there on the sleeve.

SPEAKER_01

I'm listening. I'm listening.

SPEAKER_02

I was gonna say just because like you said, it's it's more of a side hustle than a job, so you're you're able to you're able to kind of do those smaller the smaller deals that make it make you just a little bit of profit, but it's still a profit.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, if I'm only making like five to ten percent profit, at least it's you know profit. At least I'm not losing money or whatever, you know.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Pays pays for my other Legos that I get to play with and stuff. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So that that'd be just one of those things that becomes a chore otherwise, if it's it's actually our job.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I mean, I did it for a while on whatnot. I was doing it every day or every other day, and I was selling a lot, but I was also shipping a lot, and there's just a lot, you know, and I've yeah, I still stream often, but I don't know. I guess it's just something the way about I stream now. I don't make a lot of sales now. But I also don't have a whole lot of product available now. You know, I don't have near as much product as I did, and I have not gone and just bought product just to sell in forever. Like, I'll buy I see a set on sale for 50% off. I'll break it down and take the figs out, but like that's just on a case-by-case basis or whatever, you know. Yeah, I haven't gone out looking to sell or looking to buy just to sell in forever. Yeah, I think I've talked about that before on stream before, too, as well.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, maybe a lot of the shit we talk about kind of ties into each other, so sometimes it's hard to keep track of what what we talked about, but you know what? Who cares?

SPEAKER_00

Yep, you guys don't want to listen, don't fucking listen. No, it's just kidding, please listen.

SPEAKER_02

Don't fucking listen. Please stay with us.

SPEAKER_01

That's just kidding. You know who would be another cool person to have on that I just thought about that they probably wouldn't even I don't know if they listen or anything, but I think it'd be a cool person to have on here is uh Josh Morgan.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, I haven't talked to him in a long time.

SPEAKER_01

Me neither. We used to have some interesting religious conversations in the back of the expo truck, you know, and that yeah, I fucking I miss I miss talking to that dude, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Maybe I'll reach out to him.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that'd be cool.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

See how he's doing. I know he's working on a car, I think. I think he's got a car that he's got, like an older car that he's been working on. I I don't I don't follow very many people, so I'd yeah if that's a way off, then just let me know. Like, no, that's uh no. That's that other guy you know. It's not me. I did see uh Moorhead uh has re-got his Mustang out in shows and stuff again.

SPEAKER_02

I never really knew him too much.

SPEAKER_01

Oh no?

SPEAKER_02

No. I think I had got there and he was leaving shortly after I got there.

SPEAKER_00

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_01

I remember. Yeah. He's got uh he's got an older Mustang too.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Uh as the well.

SPEAKER_02

It was a shy, timid guy. T uh Holybick?

SPEAKER_01

Holobick, yeah. I haven't talked to Hollibik in centuries. Yeah. Me and Hollibik hollybeck, you gotta be saying it all fucked up now, you asshole. Me and Hollibeck, me and Holobic, uh, we're pretty good friends for a while. I mean, I I still consider him a good friend. You know, I'm not saying he's not. I just haven't talked to him in a while. That'd be cool to catch up with Jason.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I have to start reaching out to a bunch of people.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, start getting some people on here and having some more interesting conversations than just me and you fucking reminiscing about Misawa.

SPEAKER_02

Blobbing back and forth. I know Dean said he wanted to come back on, but he's trying to find a time to fucking to do it. And then uh who else? Work said he would. Work a guy I know from uh from teaching.

SPEAKER_00

Oh okay, I won't know who the fuck that is.

SPEAKER_02

But I was like, No, we came out here we came out here to Lake and Heath to teach a class and he was in he was one of the students in the class. Nice So we just need to fucking meet up, get a get a drink, but uh he said he'll come on. He's out here, so it's uh Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Any any any of the weekdays are good.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, towards yeah, because it's evening time for him then as well, huh? Yeah. Nice, nice. Yeah, it only took me an hour to do the shocks this time. Took me two hours the first time. Took me an hour to do this. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, once you do it first time, it doesn't take that long to do the second time.

SPEAKER_01

God, I already knew what I was doing. Yeah. Yeah, you know, if I don't do something twice, then I don't feel like I've done it because I always miss or fuck something up or forget something or whatever, and it seems like every time I do something, I have to do it twice. So if I haven't done it twice, then I haven't completed it. That's just the way it is.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It's a roundabout way of saying I fuck up every time I fucking do shit.

SPEAKER_02

Like, god damn it, what was this bolt for?

SPEAKER_01

What was why is there so many rubber grommets? Um and then I pull the old fucking actuator out of the I keep calling them actuators, fuck. Like the I keep pulling the shock the shock out of the fucking trash, and I was all like, oh man, there's two rubber grommets that were stuck to this thing that I didn't see. And then I didn't put on the lock washers because there wasn't lock washers on it originally, but the new uh shocks came with lock washers, so I was all like, fuck, I may as well put those on then as well, too. So I put those on too. So hopefully it'll stay together and the suspension won't come fucking blowing apart. Yeah. Hit a bump and woo! Just too many explosions out of the front end.

SPEAKER_03

What the fuck? Shit!

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I want to do springs, uh, but I don't want to do the springs. Like, I just want to go to fucking coilovers, I think, because I took it for a little test drive and it was still very bouncy. You know, very, you know, like old school Cadillac feeling or something, you know, floaty. I didn't like it still. So I'm thinking it's gotta be the the front and rear springs just need to be replaced. You know, I gotta replace the leaf springs and then and either just replace the springs or just think about going over to coilovers.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, coilovers are a lot easier to install.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, the way that the coil overs install on this would be basically the exact same way that I just replaced moved removed and replaced the shocks. They would mount into the same positions, they just have the spring, you know how coilover works. Yeah, yeah. Um, I just would have to figure out what pound, because there's like 350, 400, 450 pound springs on the coilover kits that I found on CJ Pony Parts, and they have the same mount fittings as stock, so I could just mount them up to the stock caps and the stock mounts on the bottom.

SPEAKER_02

Well, how's the rear suspension in that car now? Is it just a shock?

SPEAKER_01

It's leaf leaf leaf suspension with leaf springs with uh my dad's got air air shocks in the back. So there's gas shocks on the front and air ride in the back with the leaf springs.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

But I don't know if those are the stock leaf springs. I mean, if they are 60 years old, you know, there's they they're bound to have lost a little bit of springiness, you know. So I've been thinking about I think they're like 300 and something bucks for a pair on CJ Pony Parts. I got them in my wish list or whatever.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and that's the for the leaf springs themselves, yeah. I guess I never really paid attention, like how you would replace a a leaf spring suspension to something like uh coil over. Like if you had like a truck. I don't know. I guess the car would be the same, right?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I mean it the rear would be the same, it just I don't know to be 100%, to be honest. But I think the rear springs they would go the same way if you went coil over, but I I don't I I want to stick with Leaf in the back. I just want to get new ones. I don't know why I want to stick with Leaf. I kind of like the whole resto modern slash old technology mixed together, you know, since it's fuel injected and stuff, you know. So it's got I got that Amazon fire that wirelessly connects to the sensors on the motor and stuff. So I'm reading oil pressure and air temperature and RPMs and you know, a target idle RPM, you know, all that cool shit. O2 sensors and shit. You know, so all that I can see if it's going bad. Fuel pressure, you know, it reads fuel pressure and stuff. That's how we knew uh how we knew so quickly that the fuel pump had gone bad because that that Amazon fire connected up was showing zero. It was only showing four PSI. You know, it's supposed to be reading fifty to sixty.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So it's already no pressure. Uh good troubleshooting method. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

What the hell?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so it's already been awesome for troubleshooting.

SPEAKER_02

That's cool that fucking you're getting all that that shit taken care of on the Mustang. I'm fucking we were driving around. Oh we went on the way to the beach today we saw a bunch of classic cars and I was like man they had a fucking I guess they had a classic car car show wherever we were driving the opposite direction. Bunch of old classic cars.

SPEAKER_01

Nice.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah it's been nice to get off my ass and kind of work on it a little bit. I've only done the shops. You know it's not that big a deal. I did replace the pump out of my brother's house too the fuel pump but yeah yeah and then the shocks but I don't know I just don't know if I want to go coil over if I just get springs and replace the springs you know but then I gotta disconnect the shock the shocks again you know just even replace the springs so it's like do I just bite the bull it's it's more money. It's it's eleven hundred bucks for the for the coil overs I don't know how much the front springs are I haven't even looked but I can't imagine they're much more expensive than the the leaf springs they in fact I'd imagine they're cheaper since it's less metal but I haven't I haven't looked on CJ pointy parts for that for that yet because the only thing I've looked at is coil overs I don't know I just think it'd be kind of cool it'd be all like yeah this old resto mod's got coil overs on it you know yeah yeah it'd be cool man have you uh looked at any areas for like car shows or anything that's the neighbors girls again uh no um I guess there's at Bou-Ray's did we ever go to Bou-Ray's when you were here the like Cajun restaurant I don't think so dang apparently they used to do car shows every Thursday um but you know in the summer months you know summer they shut down in like uh September October is the last the last show they did but apparently they do them on Sundays now because Thursdays I'd prefer to be bar backing if I can so I mean uh it wouldn't be a good day to go on Thursdays but um I've heard that they moved to Sundays and I would like to see I need to I need to look it up basically I need to look up book boo rays and see what days they're doing their their car meetup it's not like a car show it's just a meetup meetup yeah yeah yeah man those are always the best yeah I think it'd be be fun to do get back out there and maybe just mingle with some people and shit yeah man see what kind of shit they got going on see what kind of see what kind of cool fucking old school new school shit they got yeah exactly have you looked at anything nearby so that whenever whenever you get something you can go yeah yeah hang out yeah there's uh I mean if I wanted to go to a track there's a couple tracks here uh Stanopod's not too far um I see a lot of flyers for car shows and car meets and stuff like that on base off just off base uh yeah and around the area so I I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find something to go to. It's something I should look at too see if there's any car shows on the base duh. It's only 30 minutes. Because I took the truck to Lockheed once when we had a Lockheed Martin car show. I took the truck took the 71 but I don't have that no more now as my brother's now yeah yeah but I don't need two old classics anyways hell I'm thinking about getting rid of the slingshot once I get it fixed up and running. Get it get it back up and running and then sell it. I don't know I keep saying that to myself but then I'm gonna like the next time I drive it I'm gonna be like nah dude this thing's too much fucking fun it is fun to drive it is so fun to drive it's like a motorcycle and a car and one dude it's like a it feels exact it feels more like Mario Kart and that I I feel like when I'm driving the eco sport when I'm driving the eco sport it's like driving one of the big heavy cars you know like Bowser's or fucking Donkey Kongs or whatever it's all slow to get up to speed and it's not like it's fast it's just slow to get up to speed but it still feels like a little little go-kart or whatever whereas this because you're it's because you're low to the ground and then and it's like yeah it's it's super fun to drive it's it's really fun to drive that little thing but it's not as fun as the slingshot. The slingshot's fucking a blast yeah can't see anything you're frozen you're frozen okay by guys time's up fucking car uh take care stay safe be safe make your choices
