He said, 225 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: my rule is tell the people what you're going to do, 226 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: do it, and then tell the people that you did it. 227 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: That's the thing a lot of people don't do. 228 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 2: You know? 229 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: Last week I put the question out tell me how 230 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: inflation is affecting your business? Do you know there are 231 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: some people that I can ask fifty eight different questions 232 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: on air and they will call up. You know why, 233 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: because then their name gets on the air and we 234 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: can't take them every time. It'd be weird, but they do. 235 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: Every business out there is affected by inflation. How many 236 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: people went to work that day depressed that they can't 237 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: seem to get more people to walk in because more 238 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: business solves the problem most of the time. Did you 239 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: get him more business? Walking through the door solves the 240 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: problem for most businesses. But you give them an opportunity 241 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: to spread their name and they don't do it. And 242 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: you've got to wonder, do you not understand that? That's 243 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: what I do. I tell stories, I share knowledge, I 244 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: help people market, I help people build their network. Why 245 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't every business call up and say, my restaurant, here's 246 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: the name of it, here's where we are. Inflation's hurting 247 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: us because the price of beef is up. How many 248 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: people would hear that name? The problem for most business 249 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: is not that they're not good at what they do. 250 00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: It's we have so many choices and you're forgotten over 251 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 1: the years. Anytime something comes up on food costs, I 252 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: would get an email from Tookies.

Or did he drive it to you? 450 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 11: So we helped him. We helped him buy the base 451 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 11: board wrapper our truck which is seven under horsepower from 452 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 11: Ford and then we take that and make a thousand 453 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 11: horse powers. So yeah, we built that with different bumpers 454 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 11: and wheels and tires and lights and brakes, and took 455 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 11: it over and delivered it to a Minute Studios a 456 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 11: few weeks ago. 457 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: So I don't need to know what he paid, but 458 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: if I was to have exactly what he had done, 459 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: what's the marginal cost aside from the base unit? What 460 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: would that cost me. I don't need to know what 461 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: he paid. She didn't know what that would cost. 462 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 11: Well, so so rapter our sticker at one twelve, but 463 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 11: you can't buy him for much under like one. And 464 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 11: then we added about it another sixty five grand with 465 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 11: the modification, so I think all ends to ten and 466 00:30:59,160 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 11: that's what he paid. 467 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: But yeah too, what is a. 468 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 11: Ten thousand pickup truck? That's what I build a lot up. 469 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 11: That's crazy to think that somebody would pay to a 470 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 11: grand from pickup truck, but it's worth every penny. 471 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. 472 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: So, so to get from seven hundred horsepower to a 473 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: thousand horsepower, explain to me, like I'm a six year old, 474 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: because I don't understand horsepower and how you achieve it? 475 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: What is if I was, if I was in sixth grade? 476 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: How would you explain how that? How you do that? 477 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 4: Sure? 478 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 11: Now that's a great question. Basically, an engine is a 479 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 11: big air pump, and so the more air that you 480 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 11: can pump through it and more fuel you can pump 481 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 11: through it, the more power you can make. So in 482 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 11: the case of the Rapper are seven hundred horse power 483 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 11: V eight from Ford and as a supercharger on the engine, 484 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 11: we basically, replace that supercharger with a larger supercharger that 485 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 11: puts more air to the engine. Air is called boost, 486 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 11: so puts more air to the engine and that produces 487 00:31:59,520 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 11: more power. 488 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: And again I'm not afraid to ask a dumb question, 489 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: how does it put more air into the engine? How 490 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: physically does that happen? 491 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 8: So? 492 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 11: Yeah, So basically the supercharger, it literally is a pump. 493 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 11: There are scrolls like you would have it a full 494 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 11: bump or a pump on a boat. That basically it's 495 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 11: a plump. Instead of pumping, you know, instead of pumping water, 496 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 11: it comes to air. 497 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: So basically, the more air that that. 498 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 11: Is forcing in the engine, you put it up. Deal 499 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 11: with that. It makes more horsepower. Simple as that. 500 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: So when you simple as that for you. So the 501 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: difference in driving this vehicle, how would I notice that? 502 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 4: To start with? 503 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: Is this obviously? Is this gonna be faster off the line? 504 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: How's this going to feel different to drive? 505 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 11: Yeah, it's it's gonna be faster everywhere. On our YouTube channel, 506 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 11: there's a video of a stock Raptor R racing the 507 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 11: bloss Drappor without and just immediately from the moment you 508 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 11: launched the trucks. The thousand or star one does out, 509 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 11: thure or three trucklaks ahead of it, and this keeps on. 510 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 11: So you know, you know it's not I mean, it's 511 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 11: something more powerful. Vehicles is not something that necessarily everybody needs. 512 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 11: But I always tell people were as much of the 513 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 11: entertainment business as we are the automotive business. Like nobody 514 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 11: needs to go to the Texans game, but they'll be 515 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 11: sold out every game of the season because people like 516 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 11: to entertain themselves and get excited about going to watch 517 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 11: the Texans the same reason somebody buys a guy like 518 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 11: Rogan and other clients buy a thousand more starting to 519 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 11: a truck because it's fun. 520 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a millionaire nextdoor book reading audience that says 521 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: I don't need that, that's a waste, and that's fine, 522 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: but some people find I enjoy in that type of thing. 523 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,479 Speaker 1: John hole with me for a minute. We'll continue our 524 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: conversation and post it as a podcast in about twenty minutes. 525 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: But hold right there, you can we'll post a separate 526 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: podcast of me talking to John Hennessy.
