Ep. 8: Jessica Bieri - In the Aisles w/ Derek Bieri

In this episode of “In the Aisles”, Derek from Vice Grip Garage talks to his better half and CEO of Vice Grip Garage, Jessica Bieri. Together, they travel through the years with stories of Geo Prism drag-racing, various off-road adventures, and the price of a family night at the movie theater. After meeting in sixth grade (at which point Jessica gave Derek a “hard pass”), the rest is history.

These two are the definition of true love, Jessica is such a lovely partner.

[@GRIMRPR6942]

Derek admitting that he is just a big kid resonates with me so much because my darling wife of 32 years calls me a 12 year old trapped in a broken old mans body...🤣So remember kids, growing old is inevitable, but growing up is optional !!!!

[@kevinmckenna5389]

It's like a "curse word", who defined that it's vulgar. "Being a Kid" who defined that that we can't have "fun" anymore aka be mature. I remember one time me and my good friend, later my brother-in-law and now ex brother-in-law (life is complicated;( "no handbook" as someone once said), anywhosed, we were camping and just having fun being stupid and his wife gave him a rash of S*** about we're adults now and it's time to grow up.....

[@nascargas]

The more I see of Jessica the more I know you made the right choice in middle school. And Ive been watching since forever. Like when nobody was doing anything but there was this guy up near the Great White North driving broke down hoopties home many hundred miles....and seeing her appear every now and again when a revival just didnt wanna revive. And she had to bundle up the boys and come rescue the revivalist. I could not imagine a tighter team that so fully enjoys doing what you two do...and simply bringing us along for the ride. There is an old saying that girls who like wrenching on cars are a gift from God. What Jessica puts into VGG is more like god like power. The heavy lifting to ensure a guy gets to be informative, funny and just plain cool. I would say you two are a KZbin Power Couple. And Im here for it. Oh by the way....there is this show on KZbin that you dont watch. Its called Vice Grip Garage. You might enjoy it. Guy is pretty funny and he has this beautiful wife who can spin wrenches along side him just as good. Great show....❤

[@hunterr1241]

Definitely recorded some time ago but well worth the wait. No lifts in the addition and the “ patina like the truck Longmire we HAD” that Jessica stated were some of the give aways. I literally laughed and thought oh if she only knew, maybe that was Derek’s big anniversary secret.😜

Really enjoyed learning more about you two and what makes you tick.

As a feller who spent life in school, voc prep, trade school and grueling jobs I understand the logistics of the channel, just because you don’t see Jessica i imagine her buried in piles of work, and you stretching yourself so thin and driving sketchy vehicles all the US it all makes me a nervous wreck and that’s what makes it so real/addictive, I’m now retired and it’s like watching the crazy non stop grind I lived and never had time to think about it was lucrative but ludicrous, the channel is a part of my life now 👍PS did you buy the GTO or was this previously filmed?
