How did that come about? 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 3: What's money? So when he I think he moved to 30 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 3: Austin during the pandemic, he got met up with California 31 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 3: and I knew he was a car guy and we 32 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 3: have a few mutual friends, and so I just went 33 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,559 Speaker 3: on Instagram and sent him a dragon mess Hey brother, 34 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 3: welcome to Texas. And I'm not thinking I'm going to 35 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 3: get a response. And he replied back like within an 36 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 3: hour or two and asked about one of our trucks. 37 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 3: And I basically said, hey, look sure, I'll bring in 38 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 3: one of our trucks. If you want to drive it 39 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 3: and you like it, I'll build you one. And Brian 40 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: Truck let him drive it for a week and he 41 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 3: figures since he moved to Texas, he needed the truck. 42 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 3: I think that was four or five. We built four 43 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 3: or five trucks for Inns become a good friend. We 44 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 3: both like to play bull. He's a better player than me, 45 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 3: So he kicked my buttoner we played bull and. 46 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: Uh, he's competitive at everything he does. 47 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: I mean, when he got into the competitive fighting, he 48 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: didn't just announce. 49 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 2: He trained. He does it. 50 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: When he got into bodybuilding, he does it. When he 51 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: got into uh the uh paleo diet, I. 52 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: Mean, he went full blown on that. Whatever he does, 53 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: I admire that. I mean, it's it's a secret to 54 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: his success. 55 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: It looks like he's just turning on the mic and 56 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: having conversations, but the guy works hard and he's. 57 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: Worked hard to do it. 58 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: So we were talking about exactly what you did for 59 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: that truck, and you talked about tires and all that. 60 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: Get a little bit into the details, a little more 61 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: granular on that if you good. 62 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 3: Sure. Yeah. So, So basically we go with a twenty 63 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 3: inch wheel tire. The wheels are bigger, which allows us 64 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 3: to put upgrade of brakes in the front. So upgrade 65 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 3: the braking system with Brembo fifteen inch calipers and eight 66 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 3: piston eight pisson calipers fifteen its rotors, and that gets 67 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: the truck additional stopping power to go with the additional 68 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 3: horse power. And then different led lights, so you've got 69 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: more lighting at night. So some of our clients will 70 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 3: go out and got a ranch or go hunting or whatever, 71 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 3: they got more lights or driving around to try to 72 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: keep away, keep the spot the deer before they spot 73 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: show in the road. That's basically it. 74 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: So those How would this vehicle ride? 75 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: I understand that we're not trying to get you know, 76 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: the Catillac of smooth rides here, but how does that affect, 77 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: you know, when you're driving around this vehicle, how. 78 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: Does that affect as opposed to a regular truck. 79 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 3: Sure, well, the Raptor from from four has got a 80 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: very soft, compliant rite quality, and I think that any 81 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: vehicle that's got off road capability generally they also have 82 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: a softer suspension. So honestly, I think the Raptor does 83 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 3: go down the road kind of like an old school 84 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 3: you know, Eldorado just kind of glides down the road. 85 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 3: Is because it's got that soft suspension that's designed for 86 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 3: twisting and turning if you get it off on off 87 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 3: road on a trail. So and we try not to. 88 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 3: Basically we're not reinventing the wheel. We'll make that we can. 89 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 3: We can lift the truck a little bit more, but 90 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 3: we're not. We're not radically changing the suspension. That's the 91 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 3: factory piece that works really well for forward. 92 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: Do you do anything to the internal put cool lights 93 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: or anything that's just kind of a special little. 94 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 3: Touch now we we do. We we can't upgrade the 95 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 3: leather of material. We'll see Hennessy and the Ceple loss Raptor. 96 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 3: But and we put a plaque in the in tier 97 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 3: that has a serial number for the truck that we 98 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 3: built for the client, So you've got some of the 99 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 3: Hennessy branding. But we're not making any significant changes of 100 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 3: interior in tiers already pretty nice. The factory a very functional, 101 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: so we're not we're not changing that. 102 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: I love it. What else you're working on. 103 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: Right now, you know, I mean we're doing a lot again, 104 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 3: Like you mentioned Tahoe suburbans that's been very very popular, 105 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: or Bronco is very popular, the Mustang. We built our 106 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 3: Venom F five upper car, which we put one of 107 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 3: those a month. So you know, even with the economy slowing, 108 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 3: I mean that the demand for modified vehicles and high 109 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 3: performance vehicles, it's slowed down a tiny bit, but really 110 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 3: not that much. We just we keep growing, so very 111 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 3: very fortunate. Hopefully, hopefully we get the right present in 112 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 3: November and get the economy back truck along like it 113 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 3: was up until about eighteen months ago.

But when you 168 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: can find a job and a focus and my favorite word, 169 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: a purpose, something that you're good at or that you're 170 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: working to be good at, and I don't care if 171 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: it's turning wrenches or what that is, it turns your 172 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: life around. And you're right, like you said, you know, 173 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: Joe Rogan's life won't be changed because of his velociraptor. 174 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: He might enjoy the hell out of it up down 175 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: the highway, but a kid's life has changed from this 176 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: sort of stuff. So well, John Hennessy, thank you, brother, 177 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: We love you. Always a pleasure to have you on. 178 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: You can find him online and keep up the great work. 179 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: It's cool to be your friend to tell people I. 180 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 3: Am likewise, Michael, thank you. 181 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: We had already talked a few minutes before we actually 182 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: did the podcast. What happened was that I we called 183 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: Hennessy and we didn't reach him till right as we 184 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: were going off the air. So we had him on 185 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: and I asked him to hold and then we recorded 186 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: the podcast. 187 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: The brief podcast that we just shared with you there. 188 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: This was the earlier part of the conversation when we 189 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: got him on the line in the middle of a segment. 190 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: We weren't really prepared for that, but we'll just tag 191 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: that part on to the end of here. And a 192 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: reminder you can always email us, sign up for our blast, 193 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: or by our merch at Michael Berryshow dot com. Well 194 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: John Hennessy has deigned to join us for a moment 195 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: on the program. Normally we have to brag about him 196 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: without him. 197 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 3: Mister Hennessy, hey, brother has everything in here in Texas. 198 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 2: Do you have a good excuse of why you didn't 199 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 2: take my call when I rang earlier. 200 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was talking to my CPA. 201 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 2: See that's what happens when you make too much money. 202 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: So I saw this, this story on the Joe Rogan Velociraptor. 203 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 2: Pretty darn cool. Congratulations, that's cool. I love it. Question 204 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 2: for you because, as you know, I'm not I'm not 205 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 2: an under the hood guy. A thousand horsepower Ford Velociraptor. 206 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 2: What did when? When did you take delivery of it? 207 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: Or did he drive it to you? 208 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 3: So we helped him. We helped him buy the base 209 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 3: Ford Rapper hard truck, which is seven und of horsepower 210 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 3: from Ford, and then we take that and make a 211 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 3: thousand horse powers. So yeah, we built that with different 212 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 3: bumpers and wheels and tires and lights and brakes, and 213 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 3: took it over and delivered it to in the studios 214 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 3: a few weeks ago. 215 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 2: So I don't need to know what he paid. 216 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: But if I was to have exactly what he had done, 217 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: what's the marginal cost aside from the base unit? What 218 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: would that cost me? I don't need to know what 219 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: he paid, just didn't know what that would cost. 220 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 3: Well, So so rapped our sticker at one twelve. But 221 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 3: you can't buy him for much under like one, and 222 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 3: then we added about it another sixty five grand with 223 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 3: the modification, so I think all ends to ten and 224 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 3: that's what he paid. But yeah too, what is our 225 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 3: pickup truck? That's what I built a lot up. That's 226 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 3: crazy to think that somebody would pay to hunt a 227 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 3: grant for a pickup truck. That it's worth every penny. 228 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 229 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: So, so to get from seven hundred horsepower to a 230 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: thousand horse power, explain to me, like I'm a six 231 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: year old, because I don't understand horsepower and how you 232 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: achieve it? What is if I was, if if I 233 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: was in sixth grade, how would you explain how that? 234 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: How you do that? 235 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,719 Speaker 3: Sure? Now that's a great question. Basically, an engine is 236 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 3: a big air pump, and so the more air that 237 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 3: you can pump through it, the more fuel you can 238 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 3: pump through it, the more power you can make. So 239 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 3: in the case of the Raptor are seven on a 240 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 3: horse car V eight from Ford and as a supercharger 241 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: on the engine, we basically replace that supercharger with a 242 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 3: larger supercharger that puts more air to the engine. Air 243 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 3: is called boost, so puts more air to the engine 244 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 3: and that produces more power. 245 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: And again I'm not afraid to ask a dumb question. 246 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: How does it put more air into the engine? How 247 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: physically does that happen? 248 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 3: So? Yeah, so basically the supercharger, it literally is a pump. 249 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: There are some rolls like you would have a full 250 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 3: bump or a pump on a boat that basically it's 251 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 3: a pump instead of pumping, you know, instead of pumping water, 252 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 3: that pumps air. So basically, the more air that that 253 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 3: is force into the engine, you put it enough, deal 254 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 3: with that and makes more horsepower. Simple as that. 255 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 2: So when you simple as that for you. 256 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: So the difference in driving this vehicle, how would I 257 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: notice that to start with? 258 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 2: Is this? Obviously? 259 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: Is this gonna be faster off the line? How's this 260 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: gonna feel different to drive? 261 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's gonna be faster everywhere. On our YouTube channel, 262 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 3: there's a video of a stock rapt R racing the 263 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 3: bloss Drapper one thousand and just immediately from the moment 264 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 3: you launch the trucks, the thousand horse power one jumps 265 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 3: out two or three truck lakes ahead of it, and 266 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 3: this keeps on. So you know, you know it's not 267 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 3: I mean, it's something more powerful. Vehicles is not something 268 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: that necessarily everybody needs. But I always tell people were 269 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 3: as much of the entertainment business as we are the 270 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 3: automotive business, Like nobody needs to go to the Texas game, 271 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 3: but they'll be sold out every game of the season 272 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 3: because people like to entertain themselves and get excited about 273 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 3: want to watch the Texas the same reason somebody buys 274 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 3: guy like Rogan and other clients by a thousand. We're 275 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 3: starting to thrug because it's fun. 276 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a millionaire nextdoor book reading audience that says 277 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: I don't need that. That's a waste, and that's fine, 278 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: but some people find joy in that type of thing. 279 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: If you like the Michael Berry Show and Podcast, please 280 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: tell one friend, and if you're so inclined, write a 281 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: nice review of our podcast.
