Speaker 4: We were just there always, always, We did everything. We

167
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:14,399
went everywhere together, everything all the time.

168
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: You guys used to get naked in your hotel room again.

169
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,199
Oh yeah, he tells his story. Tell the story and

170
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,959
see ifvn agrees with it. You guys were playing saga

171
00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:28,639
up in their hotel room. Nobody had to share a

172
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:32,399
hotel room, but these two always hotel room.

173
00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:33,079
Speaker 4: Yeah.

174
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,079
Speaker 2: And they both smoked cigarettes at the time. And I

175
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:37,519
walked into the room to play saga with them, and

176
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,480
they they're both like butt naked.

177
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: Were Yeah, the chest and back hand together, he said.

178
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,879
We were flicking ashes in each other's chest.

179
00:07:47,079 --> 00:07:51,399
Speaker 2: Yes, I keep telling it. I keep telling it differently.

180
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,160
We were smoking cigarettes cigarettes.

181
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had fun, though we didn't.

182
00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:03,879
Speaker 1: We were chilling probably after a long day, right, we're

183
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:05,360
wind down, you know.

184
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 3: That stuff, long day.

185
00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:10,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can tell them.

186
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you.

187
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 4: Remember the board story.

188
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 3: I don't I'll be quiet.

189
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 4: So uh yeah, man.

190
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: And then I was thinking, you know, with with coming

191
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:26,040
out here and getting this whole thing set up, I

192
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,000
was thinking about, like, well, really going way back, like

193
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,919
to the early days, like when we first started working together.

194
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,879
And then I and then I remembered like where we

195
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,399
really first started working together was on the airplane.

196
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 4: The model airplane. Was telling that story the other day

197
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,200
and it occurred to me.

198
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,519
Speaker 1: Then we had this like cause I watched like the

199
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,200
first few episodes, Bro, it's just me and you. Other

200
00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:51,279
people are doing stuff, but we're doing like we're doing

201
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,200
all the fab and all the creative on all the

202
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:56,120
first bikes. Other people are coming in. I'm not saying

203
00:08:56,159 --> 00:08:58,200
it was just me, no, no, of course, but it

204
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,399
was like eighty percent.

205
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really was.

206
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,759
Speaker 1: And it just worked out that way because that that

207
00:09:02,919 --> 00:09:04,919
was the demand we had on us at the time

208
00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:07,840
the show was cranking. We had a nice little fancy

209
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,639
water jet that you know, if I had an idea,

210
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,039
you were able to cut the stuff out. I didn't

211
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,879
want to know about that. I just wanted to keep

212
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,080
doing the creative, you know.

213
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 4: And we made it happen. Man, We made it. We did.

214
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:21,720
And just like all that whole first season was really

215
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,879
It wasn't until after when Rick came in, you know,

216
00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:27,879
we started getting more help and stuff. But that first season,

217
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,600
all the way up through Man like the Miller Bike,

218
00:09:30,759 --> 00:09:32,120
the Commanchi oh bro.

219
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: I keep thinking about the Comanche for some reason, that

220
00:09:34,639 --> 00:09:35,559
stands out the most.

221
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 4: Well, remember we were under the gun or no, we

222
00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:41,480
flew we were down and Myrtle, we flew back to

223
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:44,399
finish the assembly and it was just me and you.

224
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:47,720
Oh that we got that thing running that night. We

225
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,519
never checked anything over because we were so under the gun.

226
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:52,759
Threw it in the trailer, went down there. That's when

227
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:53,960
we had that problem.

228
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: I remember you guys saying you barely had time for dinner.

229
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 3: Before you left.

230
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,759
Speaker 1: It's so funny because you remember that, and now that

231
00:10:03,879 --> 00:10:05,639
you're saying it to me, I remember it.

232
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:07,919
Speaker 4: But we were like in a dark shop with just

233
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,279
film creww Yeah, that's right, that's right.

234
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: And then I just posted that whole thing and you

235
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,039
were freaking out on the dude in the trailer.

236
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I saw it. I remember that where we

237
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,960
were flying in the helicopter.

238
00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: And the motor went and run and they were like

239
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,120
working on it and the dude's hitting it and things

240
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,600
like I cannot stress to you how much you cannot

241
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:32,000
do that.

242
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,799
Speaker 4: Well, that was killing me too, because I'm not used

243
00:10:34,799 --> 00:10:37,080
to letting somebody else work on something, and I had

244
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,320
to sit there and watch him do that, you know

245
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,600
what I mean? Yeah, right, I knew what the problem was.

246
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,240
And we had to get a guy with a torch

247
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,240
because that scavenger pump went. Man, we couldn't get the

248
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,679
gear off. And Joe was there. I remember, crazy Joe.

249
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,679
Joe got it time he did.

250
00:10:51,159 --> 00:10:53,759
Speaker 3: He did, nice guy he did.

251
00:10:53,879 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 4: He celebrated for like a week after. I literally got

252
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,200
out of that trailer and jumped in a helicopter.

253
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: That's right, remember that, hey? And then you know what's

254
00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:06,240
so crazy? When I rode that thing up there. We

255
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:08,440
didn't really proof it out because everyone was in a panic,

256
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,759
and we flew in in a helicopter, right, and so

257
00:11:10,919 --> 00:11:13,000
we land and I get on the bike fires up.

258
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,519
I'm like, dude, you couldn't make this up. If you

259
00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:18,440
watch it, you'd be like, there's no edit, it's real.

260
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 4: It was perfect.

261
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean, of course they do editing, but it was

262
00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:24,919
not edited to the amount of time that played out

263
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,879
was exact right, it was.

264
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 4: And then I get on that thing, Rev rev, and

265
00:11:29,039 --> 00:11:31,720
you know that's an awkward bike, dude. The handlebars are

266
00:11:31,879 --> 00:11:32,919
like you're flying away.

267
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: I don't even know, right, And uh, I remember going

268
00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:38,720
up that ramp, dude, it was super It was like

269
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:41,720
like it was straight up a wall, right. And I

270
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,000
got to the top of the platform and realized the

271
00:11:44,039 --> 00:11:47,000
platform was almost the same size as the motor side

272
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,960
and they.

273
00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 4: Had all this netting down.

274
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: Couldn't make it look military with all these like leaves

275
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,039
woven into it. And I jumped up there because I

276
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,679
had to get up the ramp. And when I got

277
00:11:57,799 --> 00:12:00,320
up top, I just grabbed the front brake and lid

278
00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:04,159
on the mesh until my tire was like almost half

279
00:12:04,279 --> 00:12:07,600
off the end of the whole platform, and then I

280
00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:11,039
just reved it and they blew that air and my shirt.

281
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,399
Speaker 4: It was it was like, yeah, it was like skin

282
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:16,399
in my teeth, especially for that time. I mean there's

283
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:19,399
a lot of crazy stuff now, that was for that time.

284
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:19,679
That was.

285
00:12:19,879 --> 00:12:22,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was early days. We were like experienced, but

286
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,679
not quite. We only had a couple of those. It

287
00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:27,080
was a new thing and it wasn't like ten years later,

288
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:27,519
you know.

289
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 4: And it wasn't only a couple of shows before that

290
00:12:30,919 --> 00:12:33,600
where we really started getting really famous. I mean at

291
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,759
that time for Comanche, I mean it blew up.

292
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: And you know, I think about it too, like you

293
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,080
coming to work for us, and I remember being like, man,

294
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:45,600
we were starting to get busy, you know, we were

295
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,399
just starting to get busy, and I knew you were,

296
00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:49,519
like I think you were working with Clayton at the

297
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,759
time or something like that, and we needed someone. And

298
00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:55,960
I knew from our days of building model airplanes, which

299
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,840
is such a crazy thing because I can't even fly

300
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,559
crash those things in a heartbeat, you know, just doing

301
00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:03,679
all the cool work on them, and we were like

302
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,480
customizing not motorcycles, but those, and so I felt like

303
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,679
when it came time for you to come to work,

304
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,960
when I came and asked you, I was like, I

305
00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:12,759
think this could work.

306
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 4: Obviously.

307
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: I knew you from when you were young the sledge shop.

308
00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:18,320
You know, you were a mechanic already, yeah, and but

309
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,600
I knew we needed that, you know, And when you

310
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,000
think about it, you weren't even really a fabricator when

311
00:13:23,039 --> 00:13:23,799
you came to work for.

312
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 4: I mean I've done some little but not like not

313
00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:28,039
tig welding, and.

314
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:30,919
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, grinding water jet, all that

315
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,120
stuff you really learned like on the show. Pretty much

316
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,279
on the show you started really honing that skill set. Yeah,

317
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,679
and then it gave you an opportunity to run water jet,

318
00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:42,799
to learn seeing city.

319
00:13:42,799 --> 00:13:45,159
Speaker 4: I mean, just a lot of stuff, right, yeah, I

320
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,720
mean that's that's definitely one of my biggest qualities is

321
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,799
I'm very good at learning on a fly. Yes, you

322
00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:52,679
know so, yeah, yeah, you pick up fast.

323
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. It worked well.

324
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is good.

325
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: We would work together, good man, and going back and

326
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,679
you and Mikey work together.

327
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 3: I look old now because their beards are gray.

328
00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 4: I know, what are you gonna do?

329
00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:08,399
Speaker 3: I know, that's pretty funny. Yeah, we all worked well together.

330
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,879
Speaker 4: We're working well together right now.

331
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,919
Speaker 3: Gosh, man, I know we did.

332
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 4: We had some good times, man, I mean listen, we

333
00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:16,679
worked our butts off. Yeah. You know, people don't understand

334
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,279
that because not only are you working whatever seventy eighty

335
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,000
hours some week, I know, then you have the filming

336
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,240
aspect of it too. It's not like you're just holding

337
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,320
up the cameras. You move some parts around it and

338
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,000
you sit down in the green room. I agree, you know, yeah,

339
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,159
and I see they put your cameras around. You're trying

340
00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:32,639
to get stuff done. Oh yeah, dude.

341
00:14:32,679 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: In the hours were endless. There was no time for anything.

342
00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 4: Dude.

343
00:14:36,159 --> 00:14:37,799
Speaker 1: We were working our butts off, and I feel like

344
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,080
when you think back to that time period, you know,

345
00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:43,480
the show started taking off, I think people thought like

346
00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:46,600
you think about people on television, like it's just like

347
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,279
they're only doing like a couple hours and then going

348
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,840
home and drinking tea or something.

349
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,879
Speaker 4: And we were like killing our set out at that

350
00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:56,120
time too. I was starting a family, you know. Yeah,

351
00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:58,559
remember during the Miller Bike Vanessa was born.

352
00:14:58,639 --> 00:14:59,039
Speaker 3: That's right.

353
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 4: Remember that. When do you remember that episode where I

354
00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:06,000
called you to tell you we had a girl and

355
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,440
my next Tell number was on and everybody was calling you.

356
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,240
I was living in walk Hill at the time and

357
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,320
we didn't have good service and we were watching that

358
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,519
episode that night and it was like pretty an episode air,

359
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,080
and all of a sudden, my phone started. I didn't

360
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,240
pick up on it at the time, and my phone

361
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:26,159
start like it was going nuts, and I'm like, I

362
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:28,399
just shut it off. The next morning, I turned it

363
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,919
on and it was still going nuts. It did that

364
00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:31,679
for like a year.

365
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: Really. Yeah, you know, it's so funny too, because that

366
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,120
tells you how early we were in the game, because

367
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,159
that doesn't happen anymore. Right, you never see these Housewives

368
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,519
phone numbers. Somebody's head would roll, you know.

369
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,559
Speaker 4: But they did edit it for the reruns. Oh, that's right,

370
00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:50,039
they did. You're like, dude, you got to edit that. Well.

371
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,120
The thing was too, he never had me programmed in

372
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,200
his phone at my number, so when I did you

373
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:57,360
it didn't come up Vinnie Cell or anything like that,

374
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,559
and it just came up whatever the next two way

375
00:16:01,639 --> 00:16:04,679
number was. It was like number number dot dot number.

376
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,200
It was. Yeah, that was That was funny. That was crazy.

377
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:11,000
There's a lot of crazy stuff in the beginning because

378
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,159
we were all we were all learning as we went.

379
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: We were man, yeah, we were. We were just learning

380
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:17,000
because it.

381
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,519
Speaker 4: Was a new thing. Even it wasn't like we were

382
00:16:19,559 --> 00:16:22,039
trying to be something that somebody already was and you

383
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:24,919
kind of got, you know, a dialogue to follow. There

384
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,840
was nothing to follow. There was nothing to follow.

385
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: We were just the ogs and we had no idea.

386
00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 4: We weren't even trying to be the only other really

387
00:16:31,799 --> 00:16:34,440
reality out there at the time, was I think like Survivor,

388
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,960
and that was totally different. Yeah, I agree, man.

389
00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:39,639
Speaker 3: And the Osbourne's.

390
00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:42,759
Speaker 4: Were they out when we first they were out a

391
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,120
month before us. Really I didn't think so.

392
00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 3: And it different show, different type of show.

393
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 4: It was a different show.

394
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:54,559
Speaker 3: It was Genrey was so big, man.

395
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: He came on the scene a monster, you know, he

396
00:16:57,919 --> 00:17:01,519
was just everybody. He was just big, thirty year his

397
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,039
mouth and had it really following.

398
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

399
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,319
Speaker 1: So I would say for all intentsive purposes, certainly, our

400
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:13,960
show was its own groundbreaking, reality, never before seen type thing.

401
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 4: You know.

402
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,079
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, man, you know it's good stuff.

403
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 4: I'll tell you. The older I get, man, the more

404
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,519
I appreciate it all.

405
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, at different times and stages in

406
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,839
your life, it's it could be great and then a

407
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,440
burden and then frustrating and then like all these phases.

408
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,079
But ultimately what you come back to is, no matter

409
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,319
what it was, you appreciate it because you get older

410
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,680
and you're like, it was a good journey. It's the journey.

411
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 4: It is the journey. Bad stuff's good. Yeah, and think

412
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,039
about what we got to do. You think about what

413
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:47,680
we got to do.

414
00:17:47,799 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: Because of it.

415
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:52,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just that's unfathomable to me. I still I

416
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,359
still think about it. And you know what's so great

417
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:54,759
about that?

418
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,839
Speaker 1: Me and you were the same person in the sense

419
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,799
that we're both from Valley Satchel, we both are from Montgomery,

420
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,519
we have similar fathers, you know, mechanic all that, and

421
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:11,359
so I feel, no, no what Michael Michael's from. Of

422
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,519
course you might have to switch with Vin. I think

423
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,160
maybe I'm sorry, buddy, No go on, Vin?

424
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 3: Sorry sorry? Sorry?

425
00:18:17,759 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Well, the point is, no one would ever

426
00:18:21,759 --> 00:18:24,640
think that our success would have been what it was

427
00:18:24,759 --> 00:18:26,920
if you went back even a year before, right, I

428
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:29,359
mean before the show came. Who would have ever known

429
00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:32,240
that we would have had like this type of You.

430
00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 4: Were a welder. I was a motorhead.

431
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that's all.

432
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,279
Speaker 4: That's everything about me was motorhead. Everything about you was

433
00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:39,359
working at the welding shop.

434
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: Yep, you know, Mike was a deadbeat welding shop employee

435
00:18:44,519 --> 00:18:46,680
work there. Where were you when the show started?

436
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:47,559
Speaker 3: I was there.

437
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,839
Speaker 4: I was working in the steel shop.

438
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,079
Speaker 3: And you hated it? Yeah?

439
00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: I hated that was a burden to that business. You know,

440
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,599
no harm, no foul roosters into it.

441
00:18:59,079 --> 00:19:03,079
Speaker 3: Yeah. Born in an occupage you absolutely hate, but you

442
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,599
liked it, right me?

443
00:19:04,759 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 4: I love it.

444
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 3: Do you like making railings and.

445
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: Ship I did, I really did, because I feel like

446
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,240
it'd scratched an itch for me At the time I

447
00:19:10,319 --> 00:19:11,319
needed to build stuff.

448
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,759
Speaker 4: My mind was like I had. I didn't like.

449
00:19:13,839 --> 00:19:16,599
Speaker 1: The creative wasn't like a thing back then other than

450
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,839
you're building stuff. There's creativity, but not yeah, not like

451
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,839
the wide open kind of thing you know, where you're like,

452
00:19:25,079 --> 00:19:27,440
do you just come up with great unusual ideas?

453
00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:28,319
Speaker 3: So you see like the.

454
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,079
Speaker 2: Characters at the steel shop. Oh, there's nothing but car

455
00:19:31,279 --> 00:19:34,279
nothing with characters. Because who does a non union iron work.

456
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:35,880
You gotta be out of your mind?

457
00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, guy's name Conrad.

458
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,799
Speaker 3: You got to be totally rejected. But everybody else.

459
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also a screw loose because you could do

460
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,480
anything else non you and it'd be like easier.

461
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, i'd imagine anyway.

462
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing's easy about the steel business, that's for sure.

463
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 3: No way.

464
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: But you know, mechanic work sucks too. I mean it's good,

465
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:56,440
but you're on the concrete all day.

466
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 4: You know, you're standing all day the heat. There's no

467
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,799
ac in here. You know, it's just it is. But

468
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,079
you know what. You know, some of the happiest people

469
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,240
in the world come home dirty. Oh yeah, for sure,

470
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,799
and you feel accomplished. And I have. I'll be honest

471
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,640
with you. I don't know how I got it. I

472
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,200
have the best customers. Yeah, I have such a relationship

473
00:20:17,279 --> 00:20:19,240
with all my customers. I mean, they just dropped the

474
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:21,319
car off, they leave it, I leave the keys in it.

475
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: They come back and pay, and they're not going any windy.

476
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:29,039
Speaker 2: Can do any work on the car. Just run it

477
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,759
through the bill right, dust off the passenger side seat.

Speaker 4: I am yeah, he needs it, though, I think, right.

483
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to poison his ear against he poison,

484
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,759
but he took it literal. He's like, you want to poison.

485
00:20:58,039 --> 00:21:02,519
Speaker 3: Put poison in my ears? Trying to kill him? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

486
00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:03,279
It was kids.

487
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,559
Speaker 4: So all right, So let's talk about some early day stuff.

488

Speaker 1: Oh and then he came back and said they wanted thought.

496
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you told me we're getting busy. We have all

497
00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:29,119
these production bikes. I could really use you there, you know.

498
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,680
And obviously we made it happen.

499
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: And some were the production bikes that we needed you

500
00:21:33,759 --> 00:21:36,759
for at the time, right, not necessarily the show.

501
00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 4: It came out, it wasn't for the show, because yeah,

502
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,039
and I remember I remember the day they came in

503
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,000
there and said that we got a thirteen part series. Yeah,

504
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,000
and that was like crazy, and we're like, man, And

505
00:21:47,079 --> 00:21:49,279
then you came up with a black widow and that

506
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,319
was it, man, and rest is history.

507
00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 2: I remember her bike looks good. I remember talking to

508
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,960
the producer before they hired you. You know, they said, yeah, absolutely,

509
00:21:58,079 --> 00:22:03,759
no Italians, They're just they're disgusting people. And you made

510
00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:06,000
it through anyways, because you you made it through the

511
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,880
Italian You noticed you were the only Italian.

512
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,599
Speaker 4: You got Italian. We're more than half Italian, Mike, what

513
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,359

514
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,559
Speaker 3: What are you talking about? You just look more Italian.

516
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:28,319
Vinnie pretty Italian about it. But yeah, man, and then

517
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,559
when that happened, Man, I mean, what do we do?

518
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,440
Let's what's the lineup? It was Black Widow, trim SPA,

519
00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:38,119
then it was fire Bike. Yeah, what was after fire Bike?

520
00:22:38,279 --> 00:22:39,039

527
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay, that makes sense. But I'm trying to

528
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,519
think how many Well it was two episodes per bike

529
00:23:02,599 --> 00:23:03,519
we did, that's right.

530
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:06,519
Speaker 1: The first season was too even maybe the second season yeah,

531
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:08,680
I think even a second it was like two one

532
00:23:08,759 --> 00:23:11,720
hours one hour episode. That was great too, because you

533
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:13,079
really got so much common.

534
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 3: A great story about how I met Rick. All right,

535
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,839

599
00:26:07,079 --> 00:26:09,279

00:26:09,319 --> 00:26:14,119
get angry, he too, get hold back. I get so

601
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:14,920
pissed off.

602
00:26:15,759 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

603
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,319
Speaker 4: But like the Mikey bike, we worked, you know, together

604
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,200
with on a decent amount. But then when we did

605
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,880
the Mikey Vinnie bike, that was I had so much

606
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,440
fun with you on that. We want to hear something

607
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,599
funny too. Not to get off that subject, but none

608
00:26:28,599 --> 00:26:30,799
of my kids have ever watched the show. Yeah, me too,

609
00:26:31,079 --> 00:26:31,720
none of my kids.

610
00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:35,519
Speaker 2: We wound up going out a lot too during bike

611
00:26:35,559 --> 00:26:37,960
events we did. Yeah, so we'd go out a lot. Yeah,

612
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,559
you know, but none of my bond with somebody when

613
00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:45,480
you're fucking loaded. I mean he was pretty well controlled.

614
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

615
00:26:46,279 --> 00:26:47,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was not a big drinker.

616
00:26:47,599 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 3: I was doing the jack.

617
00:26:48,599 --> 00:26:48,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

618
00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 4: And uh but anyway, my daughter Eva, while she's working

619
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,519
here for a while, she went on a spreathe on

620
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:54,599
HBO Max.

621
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 1: Is the show. Yeah yeah, so she started putting it

622
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,880
on every day, playing it here, playing and you heard

623
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:01,039
yourself in the backgroun.

624
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,599
Speaker 4: I would catch things and I'd be like, I remember that,

625
00:27:04,839 --> 00:27:05,000
you know.

626
00:27:05,319 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 3: You know, dude, I forgetsport you.

627
00:27:07,839 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 4: It does, it does. And she's only washed up to

628
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,400
I think season three. But like those older ones, they're

629
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,599
really the ones I want to see.

630
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 3: It was the one where.

631
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 4: Cody was going to what is it a A m R? Yeah? Yeah,

632
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,400
and where I had him in the face with the pie.

633
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,960
Remember that, dude. We were brutal back then, I know,

634
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,079
you with your fireworks, oh man, firing.

635
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,039
Speaker 1: Him out of that air gun, the little that big

636
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,359
long tube air thing, just being we'd be sure those.

637
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 4: Things were literally blowing up in Cody's face.

638
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 3: That's the last to screw with the young guy.

639
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, Actually, Cody's truck's here right now. I'm working.

640
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,440

00:27:56,279 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 4: We still hang out. Yeah, yeah, he I'll tell you, man,

644
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,440
I would like to have him on. I should have

645
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,680
told him about this. We probably could have figured something out.

646
00:28:02,759 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: I know because I ran into him at a gas station.

647
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,720
He bought a farm, he did. Yeah, he's a farmer now.

648
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,759
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he's not up there. He built that beautiful

649
00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:15,160
house on Drexel yea. Then he ended up selling it

650
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:17,799
and he's got a he's got a big farm yeah

651
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,440
on Walco Road. Yeah, that's awesome. Really, I don't know

652
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,359
if it's that much. But he also bought more next

653
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,839
to it. So, and it's right on the Walco River. Really,

654
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,079
it's gorgeous. Where is this in Montgomery and walk on Walco.

655
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, stretches of river out there.

656
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can see it from the road. I'm probably

657
00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:41,599
knowing it from to a weight going towards Walk Hill.

658
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,480
Yeah all right, if you looked to the left, you

659
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:43,880

00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,599
So we sit down in my office and he goes,

677
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,119
I got this opportunity and if if I don't take it,

678
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,599
I'm never going to forgive myself right away. I'm like, dude, Like, dude,

00:29:52,759 --> 00:29:53,079
good job.

684
00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:55,039
Speaker 1: And you know, it was a start long term because look,

685
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,200
the show went away and things slowed down, and you know,

686
00:29:58,359 --> 00:30:01,000
he probably would end up there actually. But now he's

687
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,039
got all that time in and it's afforded him all

688
00:30:04,079 --> 00:30:06,039
the I mean, dude, I hear about his overtime. You know,

Speaker 3: Yeah.

694
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,079
Speaker 1: And you know when he first came to work for us,

695
00:30:19,119 --> 00:30:21,400
he was like our first little dude. He was like,

696
00:30:21,559 --> 00:30:24,519
I don't know, he was there, he was, he was fourteen.

697
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,920
He came there, guy there from the show. I was going,

698
00:30:28,079 --> 00:30:30,839
I was getting my haircut at his mom's place. And

699
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,480
then that's how Jen Palumbo mentioned him, and then I

700
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,240
ended up giving him a call and he came.

701
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 4: Down on his dirt bike and he just every day

702
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:42,720
come in on his dirt bike. And he loved it.

703
00:30:42,839 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: He was really good, super quiet, but paying attention. Cared

704
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,480
was invested. It was perfect for him, like a motorcycle shop.

705
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,279
It was down the street from his house.

706
00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 4: I know. So that worked out really good man.

707
00:30:55,319 --> 00:30:55,519
Speaker 3: Yeah.

708
00:30:55,759 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got to get him on, I know. But

00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 3: Oh, I haven't watched that in a long time.

713
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,039
Speaker 4: It was the one where we had to hug each

714
00:31:10,079 --> 00:31:11,440
other when when.

715
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,839

Speaker 2: And then we did that that portrait that was that's

718
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,039
a copy of like a a or like an homage

719
00:31:24,119 --> 00:31:26,920
or whatever to a Chris Farley's last movie.

720
00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:29,319
Speaker 3: He was in it with Matthew Perry.

721
00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:34,519
Speaker 2: They played like a Lewis and Lewis and Clark type expedition.

722
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 3: I don't think he hugs him. Oh yeah, yeah, around

723
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:38,000
his waist like that.

724
00:31:38,359 --> 00:31:42,079
Speaker 4: Okay, well that's perfect then. Yeah, yeah, I didn't know

725
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:42,759
that was the reason.

726
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,359
Speaker 1: So Vinnie mikey bike. I'm trying to picture what this

727
00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:46,079
thing looks like.

728
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,119
Speaker 4: For some that was a black single sided swing arm.

729
00:31:49,839 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 3: Cool cool suicide shift.

730
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 4: Suicide shift here, you do get it? Yeah, Christian told

731
00:31:55,559 --> 00:32:00,720

732
00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:03,359
down and turned it into something else, turned it into

733
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,960
a regular bike and sold it. Yeah yeah, I feel

734
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,279
like and they were gonna throw the suicide shifter out

735
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,279
and Christian brought it over to me.

736
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,519
Speaker 1: Oh that's nice, dude. I love having trinkets now because

737
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:14,559

00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,839
Speaker 4: You know what I got. I got a Nelson stud

739
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,119
from the World Trade Center.

Speaker 1: Got that I do well though, the one we put

741
00:32:21,079 --> 00:32:23,039
on the bike, and it wasn't until we started cleaning

742
00:32:23,079 --> 00:32:26,279
out the house I found it and I forgot it. Yeah,

743
00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:28,279
because you can't have that. You can't get that stuff.

744
00:32:28,319 --> 00:32:30,640
If you didn't get it, then you can't have it.

745
00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 4: Now.

746
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,079

747
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:35,519
as you lost.

748
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 4: The statue of Liberty Bike too. I got some lead

749
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,519

750
00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:45,200

751
00:32:45,319 --> 00:32:47,039
using parts of that lead to make stuff.

752
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 3: That's right, was it No?

00:32:48,519 --> 00:32:49,279
Speaker 4: Was it lead wire?

754
00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:50,079
Speaker 3: It was lead.

755
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 4: It wasn't copper wire. That was copper wire encased in lead.

810
00:35:32,039 --> 00:35:32,679
from the show.

811
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,079
Speaker 4: I mean what you know, once you realized he wasn't hurt,

812
00:35:36,199 --> 00:35:37,079

00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,480
just like him. You know what I mean, you guys

818
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,119

00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,199
just remember when they used to stick us what was

00:41:43,599 --> 00:41:44,400

00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,599
weird I beat my kids.

964
00:41:59,159 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, because you know, you want to give

965
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,000
people a personal experience, so you don't want to be

966
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,079
a dick to them, but at the same time you

967
00:42:05,159 --> 00:42:06,760
want to juice it up for yourself a little bit.

968
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,320
So outrageous about then just beating out of his kids.

969
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:16,639
Most people wouldn't even be listening to love. I'd be like,

970
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:21,119
then she just shipped his pants. Man, Oh dear, let's

971
00:42:21,119 --> 00:42:22,280
get it. Let's get a picture.

972
00:42:24,079 --> 00:42:26,159
Speaker 4: And then one day Mike picture made want to talk

973
00:42:26,199 --> 00:42:29,000
to anybody, so he put a note on the thing

974
00:42:29,079 --> 00:42:30,400
that says I have laryngitis.

975
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 3: Remember that it might have had it. That was when

976
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,679
that was from smoking and whiskey.

977
00:42:37,639 --> 00:42:39,079
Speaker 4: That was when Rambo was there.

978
00:42:39,599 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he gave us crazy cousin Keith's uh brother in law.

979
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:44,480
It was crazy.

980
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,079
Speaker 4: He was only around for one minute.

981
00:42:47,159 --> 00:42:49,679
Speaker 2: Man, for that one eventge when he gave us th

982
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,480
HC pills, which didn't even exist at the time.

983
00:42:53,159 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you had a special condition that the doctor just

984
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,920
threw him at him on camera. I guess right.

985
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: We took the pills that Rambo had and they didn't

986
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,719
work because he told us they won't work the first time.

987
00:43:04,159 --> 00:43:06,199
So the second time, the next day, we took double.

988
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:07,920
We were fucked up.

989
00:43:10,039 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 3: Correct labout everything. Yeah, it was it fun.

990
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,679
Speaker 4: They were. He hadn't prescribed to him to keep him

991
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,039
from going nuts. He was nuts and right, yeah, yeah,

992
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:22,800
so he gave him to it. He gave us the

993
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,519
whole bottle. And I'll tell you what that was. It

994
00:43:25,679 --> 00:43:27,599
was like the best thing I ever took because it

995
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,159
just kind of made you happy. It was nothing like

996
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,639
doing an edible right, nothing, really, No, it had something.

997
00:43:34,079 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 2: It was like such a high quality it was and

998
00:43:36,519 --> 00:43:38,360
you get like an equal buzz to your body and

999
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,199
your head and you just feel good, like U.

1000
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 4: It helped us get through those fourteen days or whatever

1001
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:43,280
it was.

1002
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,079
Speaker 1: Really you guys were like, all right, we're going back

1003
00:43:46,159 --> 00:43:47,079
out pop pop.

1004
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 4: Well, you gotta remember back then and those hours we

1005
00:43:50,559 --> 00:43:53,320
were eight hours a day, I know, dude, that was insane.

1006
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,440
I'd rather dig a ditch for eight hours. No, not

1007
00:43:57,599 --> 00:44:01,760
that I'd rather, but that's just it's mentally wear very Yeah,

1008
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,320
and you know what, the first hour you like it. Yeah,

1009
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,480
well you're into it, and then you start to wear

1010
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,039
and then you know what it is.

1011
00:44:08,199 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 2: Man.

1012
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 1: I think people don't realize this unless you have a

1013
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,639
demand on you. It's emotionally like draw. It draws on

1014
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,360
you emotionally, physically and physically when people just.

1015
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 4: Need to talk to you. You know, it's nothing negative

1016
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:22,840
to them, it's just over like.

1017
00:44:24,559 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's non stop, non stop socializing. Say, and if

1018
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,079
you went to a family party and did that, you

1019
00:44:33,199 --> 00:44:35,280
need to be like into it because you don't shut

1020
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,599
the hell up to begin with, or it would exhaust you.

1021
00:44:41,559 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 4: It wasn't like you're going out there, you take some

1022
00:44:43,519 --> 00:44:45,920
pictures and you leave and you're behind a curtain. You know.

1023
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,360
We were putting all the bikes away, yeah, yeah, strapping

1024
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,079
everything in so people are trying to come up to

1025
00:44:50,119 --> 00:44:52,360
you then, and you don't. I always tried my best

1026
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:57,199
to talk to everybody, but like to because to get

1027
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:58,880
out of there and go back and try and get

1028
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:03,079
something to eat and go to sleep. You were Mayor.
