From YouTube to Millions: The Success Story of Ring Maker Patrick Adair | Digital Social Hour #29

All right, we're back on the digital social hour.

I'm joined by my co-host Ari Gold and our guest today, Patrick Adair.

What's up, guys?

How's it going?

I'm doing really good.

What brings you into town today?

I'm filming a, or I'm part of the film production of a car TV show, Bacon Gears.

It's going to be somewhere on the internet at some point in time.

So, wait, what do you do?

How'd you get into this?

Well, my background is I do jewelry.

I'm a ring maker.

I got into it in high school.

That's how I know Sean.

Get the f ⁇ out of here.

Bro, I cold emailed him after I got a Facebook ad for their ring company.

They make the sickest rings I've ever seen.

Okay.

He made me a custom ring with meteorite in it.

And nobody wanted to show me any pictures of these.

I was supposed to bring it, but I forgot.

I'll throw up a photo on the video.

Yeah, I definitely want to see a point of reference.

Yeah.

But show them these.

I mean, yeah, so this is a

car shoot.

So I've got some car-related stuff on.

This is made from a Bugatti wheel.

Check it out.

Bugatti wheel.

Yeah.

Okay, so this is like $14,000, right?

What?

$2,500?

I think we trade for that.

That's a lot.

We bought Bugatti wheels.

They cost $25,000 a piece, each wheel.

What?

Wow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There's like a whole like...

They're made of very strong materials but forged alloy and they are insanely wide and i mean they're very overpriced too okay but yeah a hundred thousand dollars to how much is a bugati on average um they sold uh new i think for about a million and a half

veyon that's got to be insane one of the most expensive they lost money on every one they sold i believe wow just the r d cost of building it was so absurdly high So they won't profit for years?

No, but they've moved on to it was Volkswagen Group who did the whole like Gugatti thing.

I think it's more for like land speed records and things like that.

Yeah, it makes you look cool.

It helps you develop some tech and good branding.

All that, yeah.

Cool.

So what made you get into cars so heavily?

Well, I mean, I like cars a lot.

I've always really liked them.

They're just kind of like to me, I'm into engineering.

I'm into like

cool stuff, stuff that's made out of cool materials, stuff that goes and does a function or is really fast.

So I've always liked cars.

I've always liked just like things, making things, making stuff with my hands.

So kind of the same reasons I like jewelry, same reasons I got into that, same thing I like about cars.

It's all craftsmanship.

Yeah, you know, fine craftsmanship can be noticed anywhere.

Yeah, it doesn't matter where it's at.

When it comes to cars, I feel like it's interesting because you get to see a progression in style over a period of time.

You know, my favorite era

of 50s, 60s for me, I think is the

golden era of cars.

Yeah.

And I don't know.

Beautiful, beautiful cars.

You know, there's just certain things, and especially with jewelry as well, you can see similarities when jewelry progresses over time.

You know, I've started to see new,

I don't think it might be called steampunk creation or something where it's like

gears and wires and all different types.

I'm like, dude, the way that jewelry has progressed, like people

will wind actual gems inside little wires.

I'm like, these look like it would take.

years to make.

Yeah.

I mean, that's what I'm into.

So little details, the little fine stuff.

And it's easy to do that on a ring, it's hard to do that on a supercar.

Um, so that's why I got into rings.

It was like this: I want to make really, really cool stuff.

I can't go just like make a supercar.

You know, you, there's, I mean, you could, it depends on how you, how rich you are, how much money you want to blow.

I'm Christian Ball.

It could be done.

Yeah, it could be done.

It could be done.

Hey, dude, look at Elon.

Yeah.

He's got a supercar.

Do I?

Do you?

Oh, no.

No, no.

See, look, the closest I got to a supercar was an M6, and

i don't think i kept the car under 100 miles an hour at any point in time

but and the problem and and listen the problem was especially in vegas that every street is just straight shot that's what i have noticed firsthand yeah

so

but i'm sure see and we'll get into your car in a minute what you've experienced the same thing i experienced mine was lowered and You don't f ⁇ ing notice at 100 miles an hour when the road goes like this.

And, you know, when you do that at 15, you're like, oh, it's a bump.

At 100 miles, your shit lifts the off, and either you lose your front end, or you scrape your front end, or you just shit your pants.

And

oh my God, holy shit.

You know, slam on the brakes, you get out, you do a full lap around the car.

You're like, all right, tires are good.

Front end, back end.

Oh, okay, fuck, my tailpipe is hanging out.

All right, cool.

Let's take this shit home.

Wrap it up.

All right, everybody.

Good job today, baby.

So

I got to say, when you pulled in,

you pulled in in a Taco Bell wrap Senna.

It's a 720S.

720S.

It's a Walmart brand 720S.

It's got a body kit on it.

Ah, so it had the Senna kit.

So look, this is why I wanted to save the questions because I saw the 720 badges, but I was...

That car is wild.

It's got a lot going on on it.

Tell me about this thing.

Is it yours?

Yes.

Okay.

And you wrapped it in a Taco Bell wrap.

Yes.

Are they paying you?

No.

Why?

Because I haven't talked to them.

I just thought it'd be funny.

Why?

You like to live, Moss?

Yes.

How often do we Taco Bell?

Not even that often.

Power hour of questions.

I know.

I've been saving this.

I'm sorry, guys.

Okay.

Let me give a back jump for this.

When he pulled up, we were smoking outside.

I told everyone no questions.

They all looked at me crazy and they got mad.

And I said, I want to save this shit for the podcast because this is gold.

The car is stunning.

It's sitting on fucking four Giottos, 18s, I'm assuming.

Rohana three-piece wheels.

Wow.

So it looked like 4Gs.

Yeah.

My God.

The guys.

So it's not a Senna.

It's not 4Gs, but the car still looks phenomenal.

All right.

It's got a Taco Bell wrap, purple with lime green accents, live moss on the fucking tail.

Okay.

Yeah.

How?

How did this, how did this happen?

Well, so my background is in jewelry.

What I use to originally kind of grow my business and uh market it is youtube so i pro or i i'd film myself making the rings post the videos to my channel grew myself organically that way um naturally i grew the company earned a little bit of money i wanted to buy cars i've always really really been into them and i always really like youtube so i was like let me just start a little car youtube channel just kind of as a side hobby sort of a thing and uh that's what got me all into it i bought a couple at that time did you have did you have cars or you were just like it i need to just go out and go buy some shit i was kind of you know i grew up without enough to afford any kind of sort of car and i started this business and it kind of took off over the course of

like two or three years and i was just busy you know like those are the grindstones so i didn't have time to

buy anything along the way.

I had a Ford Focus.

I eventually bought a Ford Raptor.

That was like my first nice car that I ever bought.

And it was like a business write-off at the end of the year one year.

And then I finally, just after a couple more years, was just like, all right, let's go straight to a super card.

Oh, man.

I mean, dude, you're being super humble, let's be honest.

Your YouTube has 800,000 subscribers.

Your jewelry business is doing millions a year.

I mean, how are you able to scale that just making rings in your garage?

I mean, it's, let me just kind of walk you through the story.

You know it probably better than hardly anyone else.

I was there earlier.

Yeah, yeah, you're one of the OGs.

Yes, sir.

But

I started it while while I was in high school.

It was just kind of more of a hobby.

I'd build and make the rings and sell them online for whatever people were willing to pay.

But I started doing the videos.

I've always loved YouTube.

I've known it's such like a cool, valuable resource.

And I grew up on it.

I didn't have television or anything like that.

I watched YouTube.

So I wanted to do it.

I got into it.

I'd post videos showing the whole process of how I make them and just kind of started growing a following to the point where I was getting a lot of ring orders.

I would make the rings and then I'd offer that design on my website.

You could go check it out and buy it.

So that was my original business model.

I was still in, I was onto college at this point, but I, over a summer, got like really into it, got really

just kind of scaled it to the point where I was getting really busy with it.

So I was like, I'm going to take a semester off, see how this goes.

That's how it starts.

You know, and then it ends.

The rest is history.

You don't show up, then it's over.

Yeah.

Yep.

So

that was just me until I had moved out from my parents' house in their basement was where my first shop was.

So I got myself a tiny little mother-in-law apartment above a garage.

And then I got the half of a garage underneath it.

And that's where I've been to that garage, right?

Or was that the other one?

You went to our it was our first like actual shop.

Okay shop, but it was like the small tiny one.

Yeah, that was crazy to see with my own eyes.

Yeah, yeah.

So it from there, it it was just me.

I brought in some other people.

How do you find craftsmen like this?

I'm so curious.

I mean, a lot of the jewelry we make is really non-traditional.

I don't have any jewelry making experience or education.

It's all just self-taught.

So my techniques are

just a little bit different, a little more brutish, and they're not like the fine, ornate, like.

You're not setting diamonds on it.

Yeah, yeah, we're not doing that.

I got you.

Things like that.

So,

I mean, I make videos that are essentially tutorials on how to make the ring.

So we hire someone on who's got just kind of a passion for making stuff is kind of how we start and starting with the basic stuff and the yeah i saw you did a ring for pewdiepie when he hit a hundred million yeah well i didn't i i he didn't commission it or anything but that was uh i should say i i brought my friend lewis you know yeah lewis well on as a business partner and we started scaling it hiring employees doing all of that and the youtube channel was just my focus for a long time so the pewdie pie thing um he was hitting a hundred million subscribers and if you guys like remember like there's a sensation throughout the whole internet when PewDiePie was about to hit it.

Like everyone and their dad was just posting about like, get him to 100 million.

So

I was like, we could do a rink and get a lot of buzz about it.

And I know that PewDiePie had a YouTube segment that he would post like weekly at this point where he'd just go on his Reddit and just kind of look at what was popular there.

So I was like, I could make this ring, post it to YouTube and then post it to Reddit.

People will love it on Reddit.

It'll get upvoted there, and then PewDiePie will see it.

And if we're lucky, maybe it'll make it into one of his videos.

And that's exactly what happened.

That's awesome.

Did you get to send it to him, too?

No, we never reached out to him.

It'd just be so hard.

Yeah, I don't even know where that man lives.

Yeah, and I think he stays quite private.

Very.

He's not super into the

comics.

What have been your favorite rings to make?

I'm really into

just going crazy with weird different materials.

Your ring was, I made you a a ring in a video and that was the first time I had made

something exactly like that where it was just like really just like no budget on the materials.

I'm just trying to make something like classy and a little more

just like something you could wear every day.

Yeah.

I'm dying to see what this thing looks like.

Every time I wear it I get compliments.

I gotta know.

It's what I ended up patterning my wedding ring off of.

So it's wow.

It's what you made your own wedding ring?

Yeah, I saved 25 years

made it with me oh that's so yeah that's the one ring with unique what a unique thing to share yeah i made her come into the shop and put her to work and say make me my ring what's on the ring um meteorite so that's

yeah yeah yep meteorite in the middle and then rose gold accents carbon fiber on the edges sick rose gold we'll make you one ari yeah we'll have to get you something sick i'd love one maybe a weed one or something yeah 420 get some weed in there that even possible throw some yeah just throw some emeralds in it yeah okay i like emeralds i like emeralds Go green.

Yeah.

I'm wearing blue, but I fuck the green.

Yeah.

So that's what my channel is.

You know, just trying something crazy with jewelry.

You know, take emeralds, cast them in resin, make it into a ring.

I got to go on your channel.

I feel kind of bad now that I haven't seen any of your videos.

I really don't spend that much time on YouTube.

Yeah.

I do.

You big into YouTube?

Yeah.

I do.

Are you?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, still to this day, it's just like my only.

Yeah, I watch YouTube more than TV, Netflix, everything else, pretty much.

much because you learn a lot off youtube honestly yeah youtube's like really dense i just used to get i just remember when i was heavy on youtube i'd go in like rabbit holes for like eight hours i'm like oh you were going what's happening like where am i you were watching like conspiracy theories oh dude i would come oh i would go into the like is is the megalodon still oh we don't like oh man and then it would just be like some would be like good videos and some would just be like like fucking copy and paste like the shittiest edits of like oh my god people are fucked but yeah that's my you know that's your youtube experience that's my i listen i love youtube i love anytime i need diy around the house yeah how do i do this how do i

youtube youtube will save i feel like youtube could save millions that's how i've learned like everything i know you know like

Good stuff.

Yeah.

It's more valuable than college in my opinion.

But now I feel like TikTok is like the DIY spot.

If you need shit done, like everybody's going to TikTok.

I still haven't jumped search engine.

changing is not good, though.

That's what YouTube's got down.

If you want to know how to

do this on your water heater, you can't just search for that on TikTok.

You have to tag it.

Oh, really?

I don't know how it works.

Again, I have not fucking played on TikTok.

I will say for finding new restaurants, I like TikTok and Instagram better than Google.

And do you follow like an account?

Yeah, for those specific big accounts in

the Las Vegas restaurant.

Yeah, there's a guy named Las Vegas Phil.

There's Vegas Starfish.

There's a couple.

What's that guy, Keith Lee?

Keith Lee's another big one.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm just kidding.

Yeah, it's interesting.

I'm just mad because social media has this little Snack Daddy is another one.

Snack Daddy.

I was.

I'm retired now.

Retired from the TikTok game.

No, I wasn't on the TikTok game.

I did.

We did a cooking show for a little bit during COVID because nothing to fucking do.

I was just bored.

I had this kind of parody that everybody knows me for called Snack Daddy.

So, you know, we're like, all right, let's have some fun with it.

We just would go out and buy like wagu and stuff and have it ordered in and

just cook crazy shit and just make fun of it.

Do you have like cooking experience?

No.

So

is that like kind of like

zero culinary experience?

However, I've been cooking my whole life.

Yeah.

So it's not like I went to like,

yeah, okay.

But

I've been told by friends and people that I am

an exceptional chef.

Yeah.

I love food.

I have a passion for food.

So it's like a serious, like a very serious, like you're.

Oh, it's like, by all means, is the show not serious?

I'm like smoking weed and like

no, no, no, no.

Welcome back to.

So I have a professional chef.

Shout out Chef Green.

He owns a couple of restaurants and created some of the best restaurants out here in Vegas.

And he's my partner.

We're literally.

But it's more like back and forth banter because he's traditional.

You have to.

I'm like,

I'm not doing

yeah, I fuck with, and everybody loves it because it's just like

him and I are such good friends, and we just play off each other so much.

But in the videos, it just looks like we just hate each other, like, we just can't like, bro, what are you doing?

Like, you're sprinkling too much shit.

I'm like,

you know, like, cooking's hard, man.

Cooking is listen, cooking involves

patience.

And I'll tell you, the

number one thing that I learned from my grandmother god rest her soul uh

the first thing i learned to cook was eggs and what she told me was when you take time with eggs the eggs will taste better and i never understood that because growing up i used to always be in a rush and just you know cook some fucking eggs and whip and

now i'll sit i'll cook on low I'll let the eggs slowly cook.

I'll put milk, I'll fluff them,

season, put the cheese on at the end, let a nice glaze go over, flip, nice glaze on the other side.

They come out like a golden brown little fucking delicious pan.

Oh, God.

Sounds good, man.

You gotta.

I'm telling you guys, that's hungry.

Listen,

there's just certain things that you pick up along the way when you're cooking.

And to this day, my favorite thing to cook are eggs.

It's just because I can cook it so many different ways, scrambled,

sunny side up.

You can do omelets.

you can do

anything.

Eggs, you can literally cook into fucking anything.

So that's awesome.

That and ramen, because I lived off ramen being broke.

So shout out to ramen.

I'd love to get a sponsorship from those guys.

Puff noodles.

Yeah, Marucha.

Those were the days, man.

Yeah, I mean, dude, we all grew up on fucking ramen.

So, but we'll segue back to, I want to go back into the

ring business and what you're doing now.

So,

what I want to know what you've seen in the past five years as far as growth and expansion and

obviously having to

learn with the trends

and

focus on how that's going to make more money in the future.

What are you doing to kind of stay ahead of the curve right now?

Yeah, so

we...

We kind of don't have any competitors currently.

We make these weird different rings, stuff that will glow in the dark.

Meteorite rings.

There's plenty of

smaller DIY shop creators that'll that you could commission one of these things from, but none of like the big players like Shanko, like they just want to sell made in China

very mass-produced stuff that they can get for sub-$10 price point and sell for $300 to $500.

That's kind of like

massive.

The male ring industry is just terrible.

I'd be so mad if I knew I was spending $500 on a $10.

Yeah, they'll charge you $500 for

plain titanium band.

It's not as bad these days, but

it was bad.

And

I've made an effect on the jewelry industry.

You can see meteorite is really prevalent these days.

A lot of Damascus steels, titanium, Damascus alloys, those are starting to be a thing.

Whereas when

I first got into them, they were very kind of niche things.

I wasn't the first to do really hardly anything that I do.

But I've kind of made it a little little more popular on the mainstream as far as mainstream jewelry goes.

But

yeah,

we got

so like we've kind of had our own little lane to stick in, you know, not a whole lot of competition.

And it's been, I guess, nice, but we know it's not something that's going to last forever.

And very quickly, all of these brands are catching on.

All these Chinese manufacturers are starting to say, like, hey, why are they selling these?

What are they doing that we can't?

And the thing is, is we're not taking like $3, $4, $5, $6 rings.

We're making stuff by hand that actually takes like real effort that you can't just do on a CNC machine as fast as you want.

And that's why we're able to be unique and that's why we're able to charge a premium.

There's no alternative to making something like that.

That's what it is.

You know, if it's a meteorite ring, it's a solid chunk of meteorite and you can't just throw that in a CNC label.

Yeah.

What's your average order value, actually?

I think about $350.

Okay.

That's pretty high.

So

it's a lot higher than, I guess, typically people I meet in the e-commerce world are 100%.

I remember jerseys when I was selling them where my AOV was like 50, 60 bucks.

Okay, yeah, yeah.

So that's kind of like our unique catch is like we're this

big higher average order stuff, but it has been tough because we are a little bit niche and

not everyone has $400 to spend on a ring.

So that's what's tricky.

And that's a lot of what our key to success was is our organic reach.

You know, you can't just start doing Facebook ads like, hey, buy this $500 ring.

You're not going to find a market.

You're going to burn through so much cash before you figured out what you need to be marketing towards.

So that is, that was kind of like our big blessing in the beginning is not only would we get free advertising from YouTube, we get paid from YouTube.

You get the views, we get paycheck, and we get customers.

It was fantastic.

But YouTube's very like fickle, ups and downs and they change the algorithm all the time and it's a grind too.

And it's not something you want to have to just stay on 24-7, 365.

So we've always tried to branch out and just kind of

have as many options and many channels as possible.

So we've gotten heavy into Facebook ads and that's Lewis, my business partner.

That has been his forte, the big, you know, like traditional marketing side of things.

And when we first got into it, we had no idea what any of it was.

I neither of us had any sort of experience.

He was in college on his way to become a doctor.

He's a brilliant, brilliant person, and

was dropped out.

He said, you know what?

He pulled a Patrick's, I'll take a couple semesters off too.

I brought him in on the business, and we started doing marketing because we knew that was something that a good business would do.

But it was tough.

You know, we just started from square one and we just learned like day by day, dollar by dollar.

And slowly we're able to get that to

become an actual profit producing like avenue.

And we've just tried to scale it as aggressively as we can.

I used to get your Facebook ad every day for like a year straight.

Yeah.

I mean, you guys are crushing it on Facebook.

We go, we get really,

I mean, I, I don't handle all of that side of the business, but I, you know, we go very aggressive on it.

That's yeah, that's a big

so do you do the Facebook ads in-house or did you outsource it?

Um, honestly, right now, I can't tell you what we're doing.

Originally, we started working with an agency

and we'd, you know, they'd,

I don't know, all agencies are relatively the same.

They'd work with us.

They'd say, hey, could you give us, you know, make this product?

We want this sort of media.

So we liked that.

We learned a lot from them and we learned and grown.

But then I think we started working with an ex-employee of the company who was a manager of our account for a long time.

He started his own thing and it was a lot more cost-effective to work with him.

Yeah, some of those agencies charge an arm and a lot of them.

Yeah, yeah.

So it was a fat tax, and we knew that the whole long way, you know, but

eventually we were able to work.

It's nice to keep it in the family.

Yes, sir.

How do you like living in Utah?

Because when I went to visit you guys five years ago,

I didn't even know what a Mormon person was.

So when I went there, it was a huge culture shock to me.

It was like yeah, it's a different place.

It's just kind of its own, you know, little bubble up there.

And I mean, I grew up there, I know nothing else, and so to me, it's just kind of normal, but it's uh, it's an interesting place, a ton of entrepreneurship, really.

You know, it's uh, if you look up stats on it, I don't know how you would, but like BYU puts out so many of these different, like, entrepreneurial type people and YouTubers.

Interesting, so many YouTubers are from which YouTubers are from there, um,

man, uh, Grant Thompson, King of Random, he was

huge back in the day.

Jerry Rig Everything.

I don't know.

I'm trying to drop it.

Post Malone.

Post Malone.

He lives there now.

Yeah.

He's from Austin, but he lives out there.

Yeah.

Why does he live out there?

It's fucking perfect.

Dude, he has a mountain.

Yeah.

He literally has a mountain to himself.

You know where he lives?

I do.

The McLaren?

Do you know

who he owned that?

Oh, that was his?

I bought it from him.

Oh, so.

Oh, was this during, hold on.

So I'll tell you a funny story.

A little while ago, and i'm sure this is fairly recent because a little while ago they were telling me that post just wanted to sell all his cars

and so i had a conversation with his dad rich and he's like yeah i'm

i'm in charge i'm getting rid of everything and they were just he just didn't want to own he had like 150 cars he wanted to get rid of

wow yeah i mean

I can kind of relate to that too.

Like, I've got a bunch of cars now, and like, that's kind of like a typical thing.

You know, you get a bunch of cars and you're just like, what do I I need all these for?

Yeah.

How many do you have?

Not nearly as many as him, but.

150 something.

What?

Like seven, I think, at this point?

That's a good amount.

Yeah.

I feel like I only need two max.

Yeah.

No.

What do you mean, two max?

Why would I need more than a million?

Okay, this is a great discussion to get into a supercar.

You need a supercar.

You need a daily driver.

A daily sporty.

A daily.

Well, okay, if you want to get into, you wanted to get into the luxury of how many cars you could really have and enjoy, you get the daily, the daily sporty, then you have a daily utility, then you have an actual utility that, you know, and then you have to upgrade to a truck, an off-road, and then obviously a

we're missing a convertible.

So that's

that's what, six?

That's seven.

Seven?

Yeah, everybody knows bare minimum.

Everyone knows that.

That's not bare minimum.

I'm just saying in the perfect world, that'd be great.

But for me, I think the ideal scenario.

So

the setup I have now is great.

I have my pickup truck.

It has 278,000 miles on it.

That's 2,000 you, 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500, and it runs perfect.

I don't know about that.

I do because I've been driving it for 278,000 miles.

So I'll tell you, it runs perfect.

Second in the lineup is my close to daily driver, which is my Jeep.

You guys saw it outside.

I love it.

I can go anywhere, go over anything.

Perfect spark where you need to go perfect.

It is perfect.

And then when I have to go to like meetings and stuff, I have my S-Class.

And I love it.

I think the S-Class is like the perfect

business.

That's like

a car, car collection.

That's the.

Yeah, it's just a little.

That's the one.

You know what's funny is that when I started making money,

obviously I grabbed the Jeep because that was like my dream car.

But right after it, I think like maybe three months, I was like, fuck, got to get an S-Class.

That was right up on the list.

They're nice.

I had a buddy that was selling it in California.

And this is right in the midst of COVID, right before all the prices went through the fucking roof.

He was like, bro, give me like, you know, 35.

I was like, oh, man,

35,000?

Okay, cool.

I'll meet you down in Santa Monica tomorrow.

Pulled up with a little garbage bag of cash.

Gave it to him in the trunk.

He's like, all right, here's the deed.

I looked at the pink slip.

I'll never forget.

I just looked down.

I'm like,

dude, I just bought a fucking S class.

It was the coolest thing ever.

And I remember looking around, like, I felt like I was doing something illegal almost, you know?

And he's like, all right, here, I'm selling this car to you.

Sign here.

That was it.

What are they worth now?

$45.

Yeah.

That car market spike last year, two years ago, was crazy.

Yeah.

Incredible.

Yeah.

Really, like, it's never happened before.

Anybody that's owned or owned or owning a Porsche is the biggest winner of all.

Yeah.

All Porsche owners are.

oh my God, dude.

My buddy has a 2008 Turbo

S that he wanted to get rid of.

And I remember him saying,

oh, dude, I think I might take a deal on it at 65.

And I just remember thinking,

hold on to it.

And I said, look, bro, I'll be real with you.

I think that's probably a little low.

Yeah, I might have, you know, I think I had 75,000 miles on it, but probably it's a turbo S.

That's now the car is no less than 120.

What?

120.

Why did they go up so much?

120 minimum.

Why that brand specifically, though?

They're just appreciating really well.

They have a very,

what?

They only make a few different car models.

Okay.

They are very incremental with their changes of them.

So they're all just like very classy.

And each different model year is very like.

Unit in a certain way.

Right.

Yeah.

It has its own uniqueness to it.

Yeah.

So they're like the Richard Milley of the the car world.

No, no, I would not say that.

If you're going to put it into the brand, I'd call them the Rolex.

I'd call them the Rolex.

The Rolex makes a million watches a year, though.

Then I'd say Automart Peugeot.

Okay.

Well, Porsche makes a lot of cars.

Well, yeah, because they're Volvo now, right?

Or no, Porsche still owns Volkswagen.

Volkswagen, excuse me.

No, I think production numbers are down, not up.

Yeah, I'm not going to be able to do that.

And

the only reason they would be up is because you're adding in things like the SUVs and the MeCons.

Yeah, yeah.

But I'm telling you that as far as sports models and like, you know, Targa, Turbo S, things like that, I think those are scarce and more on order sense.

Yes, but I think they're more than like Ferrari.

I don't even know, though.

So that's a whole.

They are like a supercar that you could seriously daily drive and not have issues.

The McLaren is just too

much.

Every McLaren owner, every McLaren owner I know know complains about how it, yeah, how it spends more time in the shop than it does the garage.

Yeah, I have heard that, and I'm not even into cars, but I've heard about that.

Yeah, yeah, especially.

Hold on, let's rank this real quick.

Because as far as daily driver

supercars,

unfortunately, well, no, I'm not going to say unfortunately.

I'm going to do it like this.

I want to hear your three.

I'm going to go Porsche at one because I've had experience on that, and it's great.

I think I'd take Corvette at

Yeah.

And as far as, you know, this is also a debate most people will have: the Corvette's not a supercar.

If it's got two doors and it's got over 500 horsepower, it's a supercar.

Especially C8.

Yeah.

There's no, oh, yeah, there's no debate.

The C8s are, wow.

Three, I'd have to throw in.

Oh, man, it's tough.

You got to do AMG.

You got to throw any AMG.

I don't care what it is, but any

S63 is really my ideal.

What's your top three?

Let's see.

Let's see.

For dailies,

daily, daily.

You got to go something Porsche.

Right.

Any 911,

fantastic daily.

Great.

And then number two, definitely a Hurricane or an R8.

Wow.

Wait, wow.

No.

No, it's a curveball.

Wait, wait, wait.

Back up.

How did you sneak in the R8 there?

They're the same.

So Volkswagen makes the R8 and the Hurricane, they have the same engine.

They're pretty much the same car.

The R8's slightly cheaper and a little more practical, a little roomier, more bubbly-shaped.

So there's like more cabin space.

And then the Lambo is more extreme and aggressive.

But as far as that goes, they're wow.

That would have curveballed.

Night, throw me three.

Yeah, they're fantastic cars.

That's a tie for two.

What's three?

Number three.

Whew.

This is where it's tricky.

That's why I see I stumbled.

This is very tricky.

I don't even.

Give it a good ending, though.

And I mean,

you don't want a daily mclarian ferraris are good they're decent on stuff
