Jason, i wanted to say thanks for speaking at my cousins funeral. Brian Harrison was a very special person, and your words made it easier for us.

[@garyclarke2385]

Sorry for your loss and Jason in my personal opinion speaks from his heart and has the wisdom of an elderly man in a young man.🇺🇲🙏🇮🇪

[@picklefart]

Sorry for your loss. Jason is a true wordsmith.

Hello, My wife & I won the 1979 Mustang. I had to stop in and say, Tommy & Allison are two of the most kind & considerate people in America. The hospitality afforded My wife & I and my brother in-law by the entire family was absolutely next level. Tommy went out of his way to make make my wife and I feel so welcome. He drove us to the top of KD Dragway and explained all the inns and outs of the track. He spoke to us as if he had known us all his life. Just the best experience. And Allison, she is simply precious, our experience with the entire Hoskinson family was life changing. God knew what he was doing for my wife & I allowing us to win the car. Profound respect across the board. M&J Chaney. Aka, "Doc Holliday "

[@scottbobcat8450]

As a long time fan Tommy and Allison are incredible couple in a very unique situation they're both awesome Racers and their filmmaking ability is the standard

[@handyman75657]

Well said!

[@timothyblackburn7317]

Tommy and Allison are such a class act. Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to showcase who they really are.

[@emersonromine6042]

From tin soldiers to gen2garage both y'all do amazing content and show the full passion of the grind to "get ER done" and Iove and appreciate all. Thank you.

[@dbeelee8564]

My take on the difference between watching SRC or Gen2. SRC tells the story of racing life. Gen2 tells the story of personal growth thru racing. I root for both to succeed. I'm more interested in Gen2, probably because of my age, living vicariously thru Jeff. Thanks for the ride on both channels and being personalities on OMG.

[@d_isturbed5493]

Got to meet Tommy and Allison at KD they are so kind and humble! Drove from MN to see them and the family they did NOT disappoint! They truly are kind people! Wish them the best of luck!

[@Jeffmopar]

A couple of great people, interviewed by a great guy. You guys are an inspiration! Keep it up.

[@djcarr41]

Tommy and Allison are doing amazing things. I’m always excited when there’s a new video from them. Whether it be Gen 2 Garage, SRC, or Old Mans Garage I always look forward to their family sharing their experiences with us and I am thankful for that. Ricky if you are a fruity pebble fan you have to get it as a mix in with ice cream if you ever see it. It’s awesome.

[@bigbruno84]

That’s basically what Blue Bell ice cream’s I heart cereal ice cream is.

[@montyperkins3369]

She’s the best so humble and appreciative you two are great

[@Racheluvsme]

[@onegative8887]

[@robertfournier7050]

Allison and Tommy. Cool relationship. Cool people. Awesome that you go back so far. So cute you guys. What a story.

[@chrisdobbs787]

I love how you take time to do motivation Monday or pray and you take time to acknowledge people you are full of positivity and insight always having room to grow and be humble.

[@scotherd2938]

This one of the best podcasts yet. What wonderful genuine people that I feel like I know but never have met I’m definitely a fan of everyone here

[@kjax76]

It is the genuineness that's made the src family successful. And I think tin soldiers is headed there, as yt success goes. There's other channels, too. It is the dedication, the hard work, that matters. Being real. Being humble.

[@bbmotorsports1976]

Great advice, as well as a great story. Both great young people. Love watching and learning ❤

Great video. It was great conversation. And it was so great to see Rick nerd out with Tommy and Alison on the tech side of things.

love all you guys and haven't got to meet you yet , I'm on the same path , trying to figure out the video part so people can really see what I do , love to build ,fabricate ,,great video , hit home for me !

[@dloneyv8]

Just Thank you! I got so much more out of this video than expected. I pulled this up to see how these kids met because I’m a big fan. I didn’t expect to get so much great commentary about what it’s like to KZbin. For an older than the Old Man amateur KZbinr it was really helpful. Thanks again you guys. Bravo!!!

[@peggypatton9170]

❤❤❤❤❤GOD IS GOOD ❤❤❤❤

[@joeh1940]

Not into the pod cast videos but this one was good....

[@Dsauder878.]

This is a very entertaining video watch Ricky and Tommy and Allison nerdout on filming thinking Jason would probably like to have a more of a racing style video just turned out really

[@RogerMoore-ne6hu]

They deserve each other and they compliment each other. I try to follow them as much as I possibly can.

[@greg4876]

One of if not the best podcast y'all have done in my opinion..i really enjoyed y'all's conversation

Man oh Man what a GREAT pod cast!!! I am not usually a pod cast listner but when I seen Tommy and Allison I had to check it out and I love these people, I have only been folowing SRC for a year or so and I absolutely love it, Hey Tommy you better put a ring on Allison because she is a REAL winner and you guys make a great team together!!!!

[@TinSoldierRacecars]

Thanks for listening

[@scottburrow8717]

What a great podcast. Allison and Tommy are going to be successful in life for sure.

[@TinSoldierRacecars]

They are!

[@woodyrinker1530]

Love all of this, watching Tommy and Allison build their life and dreams is like watching the beginnings of SRC all over again, perfecting their craft from that experience. It’s often a conversation with my wife and I how much we enjoy watching the dynamic between the two family’s, and how much they compliment each other in great ways. The future looks bright!

[@Leon-rz5fv]

Love your interviews, you guys are such great individuals with morals and truly talented people.

[@ronaldfarmer1208]

Allison and Tommy a good presentation , I love watching the progression !

[@overholt6977]

AWESOME Pod cast with Alison and Tommy they are so Great an love there channel Hello from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@craigbush189]

God bless tin soldiers 🙏 and src hope everything goes well for both its alot of hard work but thats why your all on top love the videos.

[@SpeedLegacyGarage]

I was definitely ready for this podcast since you mentioned it on their video with the rear-end for the Dakota. Tommy and Allison are very cool people. I met them both 4 years ago, and every time I saw them at an event, they always remembered me and always carried on a conversation just like they were normal people like everyone else. Super proud of them both and I wish the best life for KZbin's sweetest couple.

[@tater82]

I love this producer guys energy!! 🔥🔥 He seems like a golden retriever ❤️ just seems so lovable, humble, loves everyone

[@BelleTx214]

Great people, the whole family

[@dbeelee8564]

Guys, negative comments track back to personality projections. When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. That's what hammers do. Hammer personalities make comments. Good people want everyone's opinions. Don't get hungup on hammers. They have a place, rarely as decision makers.

[@sillycatthing]

Just like anything in life, if you surround yourself with good people, good things are more likely to happen. I've been watching their channels for years. Their family reminds me of my family growing up. I've never seen so many young people so determined to work hard and reach for their goals. Jason, you are an awesome person man. Thank you for doing this podcast! Tommy and Allison are going to go far. Sometimes you can just tell. God bless ya'll.

[@jefffogle8983]

Jason, thanks for the good pod casts. You're the only one's I watch all the way thru. Hope good things to come for Tommy and Allison. And both there families. Src and gen2 garage and the old man's channels It's nice to see people give back not just take advantage of people

[@user-ti6sl3gc6k]

You guys are all genuinely awesome people ... Luv watching all the channels 😊

[@ronfollrod9893]

Great video guys. It was great hearing Ricky interact with the guests. Absolutely love Tommy and Allison. They are doing great with the Gen 2 channel.

[@racsan2011]

I loved this episode Allison and Tommy are so genuine ! I watch old man’s garage and SRC along with tin soldier garage you are so entertaining and this is a great story and keep up the great work !

[@user-si3in4mj5z]

I enjoyed this, so much. Actually, almost meeting the folks that I enjoy watching. Awesome!!❤

[@jodywells7519]

Real appreciates real ! Tin soldiers and G2G , OMG .SRC

[@JoannaClaxton-i3n]

I adore these two! And Allison is such an inspiration to me. Such an undercover gangster 😂 And Jason, your positivity is so motivational. I turn to your motivational Monday videos when we need a vibe check in our own journey and hustle. I really hope to meet you all out at an event someday!! ❤

[@Copoc10]

Get back to work, you got a truck to build!! J/K, amazing people, amazing family, and super happy for you guys

[@jeremywitteveen880]

Love you guys, you need to get these back on Spotify!

[@kylewatson6739]

Also I gotta add Jason I just wanna let you know that your words are so damn inspiring and motivating thank you sooo sooo much for being you man you have no idea how many bad times and horrible times just listening to your random advice on life and racing has helped me out of some seriously bad spots man. the way you can be talking drag racing and turn it into the biggest most powerful words of motivation and give me and I'm sure many others the push to just get up brush yourself off and tighten your boot straps and kick that struggles ass. Man thank you so much just for being you. I hope to meet you at a track some day I just wanna shake your hand and tell you thank you in person you have no idea just how much you actually do for ppl especially with this podcast man.

[@johnmchugh9152]

watching this it accrued to me that you all are made from the right parts and more people in this world need some of those parts. please keep like you are and don't change.

[@user-lv1nv1ks7n]

Jason your killing it Godbless you

[@jead29]

hands down one of the best interviews I have ever seen on You Tube. I have been following Billy and the Old man for a couple years now. Definitely glad to see Tommy and Allison making their own way and doing their own thing. Killing it. As being an old man myself seeing two you people succeeding this was is AWESOME. Tin Soldiers congratulations on the top quality work.

[@jerryfrederick6610]

Couple of things: 1.) Great podcast, great interview subject(s). 2.) Team Allison for the win! So glad TSR is helping out. Very nice equipment. 3.) Allisons Mom and Dad are fantastic, the content they bring is awesome, Jeff is a great teacher. Engineer? I thought he made Amish cheese! 4.) Tin Soldier is knocking it out of the park, products, content, racing, being great humans. 5.) All the crossover content between the channels is fun and real. SRC / G2G / OMG / Jimmy Dale / TSR / Miss Midnight Maverick / Lucore Auto. 6.) The message from all is positive and thoughtful. 7.) It is because of Billys generosity that so many connections and opportunities have sprung up, just gifting Allison the Dart lead to Road Kill. 8.) Tom Gunner / Jimmy Dale is a gift to all mankind and his side kick Michael Poland. 9.) Small Tire needs to get on one page for the rules. Maybe Entry Class, Ultra Class. If it is still going to be inviting to regular racers and everybody's budgets. 10.) Captain Crunch does rock. Take Care and God Bless!

[@dextermacnutt]

Love all the channels! Tin solder also! I’m watching

[@Opawsays]

Opaw y'all are knocking it out of the park just remember to keep on looking out the windshield instead of the rear view y'all will go far 🙏🤔🤔✌️

[@tightlyloasted169]

This was an awesome podcast and i think it was really awesome to learn a little about Rick! Definitely enjoyed him being a part of this! Great things happen when you get genuine and humble people together!

[@kenrolltideAlabama]

Top-notch souls all around. You are good people and I have mass respect for you all. Thank you for being you. You are touching hearts and souls.

[@markfarnsworth1]

Awesome you guys all rock and are great people

[@BmoreFox]

This was probably one of the funniest pods yet lol

[@Roger-bj2zs]

45:55 MOST people really don't understand the hard work that y'all do and Have done to get to where you are now! If someone doesn't have an encouraging thing to say, keep it to yourself! I was raised that if you cant say something nice, Don't say it 😊 Love the video Jason, and to Tommy and Allison, keep up the good work!👍

[@gregoryferrell3870]

Guys I loved this podcast… trying to film your self is what I have issues with . And meeting Tommy & Billy at the Gut . And Bill sr the whole family is very good people. Love all these channels. Thank you Jason for being who you are and bringing out conversation.

[@thomaselliott4246]

I'll say it again. Best podcast yet

[@garyclarke2385]

It's through SRC and Billy and his dad going miles away to race and also get the truck, the S10 which started everything and then Jimmy Dale, Tin soldiers were lucky enough to see the behind the racing lanes which showed me for 1 the community behind the small tire 28s scene, I love seeing the grind, the frustration and recently the spirit we all seen when everyone made signs to remind Jason to turn on the nitrous...then beating frankinstien and the whole team and supporters went crazy....instead of criticism I am honoured to be around at this particular time in the small tire scene, I've loads of channels that have racing in every state across America but these are weekend racers with daytime jobs and have small tire racing in their blood...these guys are just as fast but little exposure...BUT I always give them the credit they deserve even if they go out first round THAT'S SMALL TIRE RACING FOR YOU ANYTHING CAN AND DOES HAPPEN... LOVE THIS PODCAST AND ALSO BILLY AND TOMMY'S ONE TO WORD ON THE STREETS.... LOOKING FORWARD TO ROADKILL TO...AND BILLY'S CAMARO ALSO!!!

[@MikeRay1978]

Also as someone that works in the outdoor amusement industry, take comfort in the fact that there are a team of inspectors out there looking at those welds frequently.

[@jasonblack8639]

Love Ricks input and interview on this one! Like to see him do a video about filming through editing to see how it’s done for people interested in starting a channel.

[@martyfleming6008]

You can honestly tell these are good people all the way around
