What up fuckers?

Smoking to our podcast. Here it is. Drop the F-bomb, the first two words. That's how you do it. Really set the tone for the rest of the show. People should know what they're in for. It's not a mid-afternoon podcast, but it feels like it. It's so fucking bright out. It's light out. It feels an early evening podcast. It is relieved. At the same time, the cocktail of drugs coursing through my body right now really makes it feel like a nighttime podcast. I'm just kidding. I'm sober for the first podcast. Ever? Maybe. Possibly.

And it's like nice treat to stop by Banks's booth and see his engine stands.

And it's like 1500 horsepower, 2,500 horsepower, 3,500 horsepower.

And they all kind of look.

So they put the most powerful version of the 3-liter in that. And he said with the weight trailer on it, it goes up the hill at exactly the same speed with half the displacement and like three-quarters of the number of cylinders.

Really?

And when it's unloaded, does it just get amazing fuel economy?

I don't know.

I didn't ask about that part.
