“Honestly.. you need to blow your *shit* up more often.” Sincerely, Garrett Mitchell

[@indianaslim4971]

That is a proven way to build a channel but not so good if the goal is to win races. It's a form of buying content that only works if your channel is entertaining enough to get subs/sponsors and can sell a bunch of merchandise to pay for all the blown up engines. Not many people have all the necessary talents needed to do it successfully, other than Garrett the only two that come close are Mike Finnegan, who had a ready made fan base from TV, and Tom Bailey, who has a profitable business than could fund his channel until he ventured into the Sick business to take his channel into the next level.

[@indianaslim4971]

Another that comes to mind is Kyle from boosted boys, he's blown up some engines and grown his channel enough to pay for the parts.

[@X2ENDZERO]

Honestly seeing these two split off to do their things, get big, and come back with nothing negative between them is just so awesome. Hats off to both guys!

[@Chiguy312]

Yes it proves there was really nothing bad. They can say there wasn’t but this more proves there really wasn’t

[@Cammmmeron]

I mean why would there be bad blood. Their never was in the first place but i agree it is cool to see that Coop was able to succeed on his own

[@FrankHoneycutt]

I know faster proms and them two go into a heated battle.

[@--_DJ_--]

@@FrankHoneycutt I don't think that actually happened either. I am sure there was some tension, but there was never any battle that I am aware of.

Cleet is a damn savage. He grabs his water off a coaster takes a sip and puts the bottle back down on the table top and proceeds to plays with the coaster.

Love the Dad talk. Cooper is in for a rude awakening but cletus doesn't understand how much of a curve ball that second kid is going to be.

[@minter_fab_mafia]

Hahahahah, ya then when twins happen instead of just a second. You really get a surprise!!

[@rhiley36]

Yeah the second is so damn hard but when they start becoming best friends when the second one hits 18 months it’s so fucking awesome

[@davidlindsey6514]

When they are young it's pretty easy. The bigger challenge will be when they are a little older and he's trying to balance work/content/travel with not missing school activities and sporting events. That's when things really get hectic.

[@mcarter115]

2 is simple.... now 3, oof!

[@Hammerback972]

Eh. Id say he will be fine. Cleetus looks and talks like us "poors", but, he can afford a nanny, or a helper if needed. I am partially disabled and have 3 kids under 5 years old, and 47 years old, and I dont consider any of my 3 being a "curve ball". (The part of my injury doesnt pertain to my johnson.. obviously😂)

[@reptar5.048]

Hearing them talk about the early 2017 and 18 days brings me so much nostalgia 😢 proud of the boys

[@nikolaip4947]

Right it’s crazy how far they have come!!! Besides the success, I love that they are still friends. I don’t know if it got awkward behind the camera, because it could have gotten ugly. Much respect for both

[@demwillams8898]

Many of us would LOVE to see the cheap car challenge episode 2...been a few years now lol

[@mattpeare7954]

It’s nice to hear other guy talk about being a dad and fatherhood because I got two boys that are straight going ham 24/7 and I got no friends that have kids or anything so this is nice

[@IanWrigleyNZ]

It will come. When the wife asks you to go to birthdays and bbqs say yes. Meet other dads, talk about the things you enjoy and see if you can build a new circle. "I have a V8 and a shed" is a good start, as is "I have a boat, who likes fishing?"

[@raynorcampbell2063]

I know cleetus has always said he wants to build a super bird but I think a promod crown Vic would be more on brand for him I think it would be awesome to see him build a big tire crown Vic like Steve’s wagon

[@nickcollins1528]

Pro mod crown vic would be crazy

[@Jonboy997]

That's the best idea I've ever heard

[@lordcommander3224]

Yeah, then he could sit in the back seat like Steve’s wagon.

[@laurean5998]

Yes, project meteor interceptor looks awesome with the hood cowel so a promod crown vic sould be visually pleasing. However it would not be enough to take the title of coolest crown vic from the meteor interceptor...

[@MitchZero9]

Yeah but the issue with Mullet is weight and Crown Vic isn't going to help in that department. A Superbird probably won't either!

Gotta love seeing Cleet and Coop back together again. It’s always entertaining and relatable. Watching this episode makes me feel like I’m a normal dude and we all go through the same struggles and successes. Can’t wait for World Cup and seeing the racing content but this is a cool perspective into these guys as normal relatable dudes.

its so much better with out coop

[@pomsrcadventures8482]

She will be daddy’s little girl no matter what you think. I was a stay at home dad for my second daughter for 5 years after a bad car accident. you do get to know what they want the more time you spend with them and having 2 daughters and being with them full time give us a special bond that my ex wife misses out on.

[@young11984]

Man this casual conversation is better than all the drag race only stuff, good to hear about the background life of all you guys

I second this. Would love to see coop return to the team. It would break the internet.

George is now Garret's idea man, he's been moved out of the shop and into the office for that purpose, along with the camera duties.

[@LeeRoyFreedom]

Awesome. For those us who came along for the ride from the very begining with you two and never missed a single video... What a great walk down memory lane. It's amazing what you've both accomplished and inspirational how much family is woven into the very fabric of who and why you are who you are.

[@Scott-Tim]

I’m loving channel more and more! Thank you Coop! Super proud of what you’ve built your name to be outside of the McFarland camp. I came for the support I’ll stay for the content!

I normally don't watch long podcasts because they are too long. But dang, 46 minutes into this one and I have not stopped smiling yet. Cleet is my favorite person on the planet and Coop was there from the early days. Such cool stories!

[@traviscaldwell2396]

It means a lot when y’all read the comments and are open to suggestions. Good work bud ima be watching this whole thing tonight.

Best part of Cleetus goin through the work of blowing engines is it makes such a cool evolution and learning show and great to watch. We all discover the flaws and maximums through the lens.

[@tomlanore4283]

Always good to see Cooper and Cleetus sit downtogether and catch up.

[@dalebryant5754]

I wish Cleetus would do something with that cougar sitting out by the shop, nobodies running one that I've seen and it'd be badass to see it built for Mr. Sam to run in drag and drives or something.

[@maxst2]

Here i was thinking what 30-40yr old woman has been sitting around the shop... lol

[@sneezinhatch]

Coyote swap it

[@dalebryant5754]

He's already doing that in one car, there's no content in doing another coyote fox. But depending on the trim level it might already have an old 302 in it, so building that might be OK. Both foxes, both 302s, but both different. Edit: the both being foxes thing is only true if the cougar is like an 89 or older I think they changed the platform for them around then.

[@EskimoKillaz]

​@dalebryant5754 it's an 83 or 83, I own one. It has a flat tappet 302 with an AOD. Great platform to start with. Few things have to be modified because it's just barely different from a fox mustang

[@harleyadam4813]

​@dalebryant5754 347 stroker with a built AOD and a centrifugal supercharger. Halibrand quick-change rear end and a 4-link. Total sleeper build.

[@JoeyBoozeOhio]

Wish this was a monthly or bi monthly thing with these two sitting down and talking. Natural friend chemistry and interesting with both lives taking different paths from the beginning of the channel its infinitely interesting.

[@mountainman1796]

Im really excited for Freedom+ That sounds like such a great idea. You can stream so many smaller events that don't get shown because it's not NHRA/Nascar or some other big time show. A LOT of folks, like me, would pay for a streaming service that is dedicated to drags/racing and other great content that you don't get anywhere else. Great bang for your buck and wish you the best of luck with it. I bet it will take off and be the most successful adventures Cleet will end up doing. Always a joy to see you two just talk it up! Congrats on soon to be Bogetti Jr as well!

[@54raceman]

This was like a walk down memory lane, i remember watching sooo much of this!

[@ddevil4980]

Man I miss these two together. Just pure gold..

[@tylercarandtruckcenter]

Cleet is right about airports not having good guidelines, I worked with a salesman who taught my old boss how to fly his plane, the salesman got drunk one night and stole my boss's plane, flew it to another city, then showed up at my old boss's house drunk and wanted to take him flying, well, long story short he got fired.

Tye would be a great teacher...I learned a lot from him and Zach at World Cup last year in the short time we chatted....💯

[@jbuch66koop]

[@Seventeen76]

Well what a great way to start today. I really hope they address the thing about FL 2K & the tire situation with mullet

[@laser_simon922]

44:12 I see Cleetus as being the worst teacher ever. He probably goes like: "I sat in it and did the thing, and the vehicle did its thing, and now I am a pro doing it"

[@54raceman]

The best do’ers are the worst teachers because they get to the point of where they don’t think about it they just do it so it’s hard to teach it because you never have to think about it when doing it

[@mysterj1]

I just wish Cleetus would get regular about pulling down his visor when he races…

[@somenygaard]

[@peterad1529]

As much as I thought the Godzilla engine swap is a sweet engine it was always meant to be a truck engine and for that it does a fantastic job. Still fun content but maybe some after market support they can be more reliable in a race car 😊. Can’t wait to hear the coyote scream 😀

[@garykarenmcgruther6386]

Look at the current Coyote Cleetus got? how do you compare a complete solid deck Coyote with Top fuel Hoops and receiver grooves in it to that Coyote? I'll bet the Godzilla has the right amount of torque to Horsepower ratio of any other ford engine. Brodix just modified a stock block to handle more power then Cleetus pushed out. Now add in the Top Fuel Hoops and Receiver grooves in that Godzilla? Your looking at 2000 plus horsepower and still have more turbo to play with. No comparison between his new Coyote to the Godzilla. The Coyote is a true aftermarket block to a factory truck engine block🤣.

[@AaronsSpeedShop]

Cooper, I’ve offered build consultation services for years and have rarely had customers purchase them. Typically unless I’m doing the actual build, people are completely unwilling to pay for my knowledge. They’re happy to ask questions and get answers for free at cruise nights or car shows, but typically people won’t pay you to help them with the planning/scope of their project. I’m not sure why.

[@sirmonkey1985]

unwillingness to leave their ego at the garage door is typically the problem.. until they hit that wall of frustration men are god awful at asking for help that could of kept them from having to hit that wall.

[@indianaslim4971]

To add to what Sir Monkey typed there's also the matter of money and the need to purchase parts often is the priority as opposed to buying knowledge, especially if they have access to the Internet and are willing to spend the time and effort to research different setups.

[@AaronsSpeedShop]

@@indianaslim4971 yeah, it’s really easy to fall into the “I saw a guy do it on the internet” or “I read how to do it on a forum” and feeling like you’re betting off spending your entire budget on parts, rather than adding in an expert’s labor. I also find that the people who hire me to build projects for them are much more worried about the finished project than people who “do it themselves” 100%. The do-it-yourselfer tends to find more joy in the process, specially seeing as how many of them never finish their projects.

[@AaronsSpeedShop]

@@indianaslim4971 one inexperienced mistake will destroy all those fancy parts you just bought. Remember, knowledge might be free on the internet, but experience costs real time and real money.

[@MattyEngland]

Another great cleeter interview.

[@bobbymckee8020]

You guys are the best!! By far!!!

[@BradyMcCabe]

Cooper has NOOOO idea what he is in for. The level of joy he finds in racing will quickly take second place to being a dad. It is the single best thing ever. Once you hold that little mini version of yourself, you will hopefully find a love and a sense of purpose like that has no rival. Enjoy it, journal it, take selfies, don't blink....as cliche as it sounds, it is true advice.

[@tylerdespain760]

Agreed, almost at 2 yrs old and being a dad has been the one thing that changed my life significantly for the better.

[@somenygaard]

I don’t think you can really compare having kids to hobby/recreational activities.

[@TheFlatlander440]

I'd like to see Cleetus get into rally racing and building a Rally car. I watch those road rallies from Sweden and other Scandinavian countries and those drivers are freaking insane. I bet he would love it especially after participating in those jet boat events in Washington State. Just a thought.

[@MattyEngland]

Yeah that would be cool. I used to go and watch them in the Welsh Forests here in the UK.

[@sirmonkey1985]

there aren't a whole lot of amateur options in the states. did it on and off for about 6 years myself and unless you're doing it to become a pro driver or sell your soul to sponsors it's just not enjoyable for the cost(way too many rules). something like pikes peak or the mt. washington hill climbs are far more interesting but that s... is sketchy as hell.. one day i'd like to do pikes peak though.
