thanks for having me on! It's awesome to talk about how we got started and the difficulties we faced individually (we both don't talk about them as much as we should). This podcast is going to go far, honored to share my story here!

We need the videos for these 😭😭😭

Would love to see Jimmy, Vaughn, cleetus, Tommy and Collette on the podcast. Those have to be some good stories

Tjs "redemption" arc over the past couple years has honestly been crazy. He has changed so many people's opinion of him by just bein a real dude. Definitely helped that he befriended the CT/FL skwad

Words cannot express HOW GOOD THIS EPISODE WAS!! So inspiring to hear you and TJs stories, the good and the bad. Can't wait to hear more. Keep up the killer work Adam.

Respect to TJ! I remember the whole incident with his old brand. I never knew the details so this gives it some proper closer! Just gained even more of my respect 👍

Adam, your podcast hosting skills are getting better and better with each podcast! You know how to steer the conversation!

I love how you guys talked so much about TDIB, he really started this thing I hate how little people watch him now

i wanted to thank you guys for talking about the whole breakup thing, i just got out of my first long term relationship and it’s been hard but your podcasts have really been helping keep my mind off everything and i just wanna thank you guys for all you do

This was a dope episode its so cool to hear the struggles and missteps that people dont see or forget once someone finds success you should have TJ or Chelsea host a LZ episode where you are the guest

Its would be super cool to see you do a podcast with James since he's been in it with you so long.

Hearing how tj started his channel after the downward spiral is exactly what pushed me to start mine.. was engaged with my ex of 8 years and things fell apart and I really needed something to keep me up and motivated and that's what youtube became for me... now it's my pride and joy and absolutely love the creative process

the best podcast you have put out so far! So entertaining to here you guys talk and share stories about your journey we havent heard about in so much depth before. thank you so much for sharig!

I love these guys opening up and talking a bit about past experiences and shedding a light on the situations and clearing it up for us who have been watching for years and always wondered

I honestly have gone back and forth about how I feel about TJ for a multitude of reasons and he hit every single one of them and holy shit. I respect him so much it was such a pleasure listening to this and props to Adam for letting people tell their whole story and for keeping the conversation going and empathizing and relating enough to make his guests feel comfortable enough to share stuff they may not have otherwise. Absolutely phenomenal episode.

These are great, thanks to both of you for taking the time to share. It's so easy to get caught up in our lives and what we see that we don't always take the time to think or reflect on where you came from. Keep it up!

Hearing you two discuss your humble beginnings is so awesome! Very inspirational guys, thank you!

this was probably one of the best podcasts ive listened to. very happy to get insight on TJs and your story. would love to have you guys do this again and just tell more stories of your past.

I’ve been a fan of you both for the last 7 years roughly between the both of you guys and your content it has got me through a lot of tough times and just hearing how you two talk about your upcoming and everything is super motivational and the way you guys talk about your business is on a whole new level and that growth as a person is shown more then just your actions but how everything around you is and I rate that big time

crazy having followed both of you for so long to know exactly who every unnamed person talked about was. great episode love hearing everything you guys talked about. Adam should do a solo episode or bring in a guest host and go over his entire story for an episode.

I cant wait til after work so I can truly listen to this. Two of the best automotive youtubers. Much love and keep moving sideways!

This episode was amazing, in relation to thinking or feeling that you relax and become lazy, and dont think thats the case, and we see it , youre always doing stuff, and managing it, thats not being lazy, what happens i think is, some people naturally help you gain inspiration and naturally have new ideas, which wont be as draining as forcing yourself to think about something else other than all the managing you do. Overall, keep those people close. You two together are a rly nice match, i dont particularly enjoy Tj's videos anymore as i matured, but when hes with you i see a more serious side of him and i think i see him growing a lot, as for you i see you more relaxed which you need! Overall love this duo for the content, inspiration and vibes.

Teej I am so glad I found you! You brought so much happiness to my life, I know that sounds weird over KZfaq but I am genuinely excited every time I get a notification from KZfaq and your channel! KEEP MOVING FORWARD 🔥

tj ive been a subscriber for yearsss now and man, this was so inspiring, thank you for that, and also huge thank you to adam, this is one of my favorite podcasts 🙏🏼

I’m popping in here to leave a comment and a like because this episode is so good. This has honestly been like a therapy session. They way you spoke about the big breakup that “ruined” your life at the time or talking about how you should be silent and not try to burn people because you’ll end up burning yourself was so eye opening and relatable. I find myself in similar situations and this is really inspiring. Thank you

These are so good. It’s awesome to hear about the struggles, the growth, the excitement behind these people! I love it

Thanks for being open TJ. Needed to hear this. Stuck at the moment

Man Adam I have always loved you and respected your hustle as an automotive KZfaq and you are my favorite but after this. I respect you as the men you are. The Kinsey you have and how you control the power that you hold. And how you think and use that power to push only positivity. I love it. You are the reason I love old Japanese cars myself. I can’t wait to see you podium in fd this year. And to watch you in person in Atl! I personally never watched Tj and I’m sure he doesn’t care but man did he also earn my respect in this podcast. Hearing his roots and the love he has for what he does is the reason he is where is which is just dope.

These pod casts make this channel so much better. These conversations just makes you and all the guests you've had/are going to have just so much more relatable. I appreciate These a ton. Makes the membership side of the channel entirely worth it.

First off. Respect to TJ for how he handled the drama for that whole clothing brand thing. And more respect for balancing school and KZfaq. I can't keep my KZfaq on track with school. It's so much work and then trying to find the time to make and edit a video. Respect to him for pulling it off

This was absolutely amazing to hear, love the whole podcast thing you’re doing. Definitely need to get Jimmy o on here next🙌🏻

The joy i found in listening to seasoned professionals go through their trials and growth is crazy. The history and growing up stories and the behind the scenes was great. LOVE seeing you to getting together so often. The bromance is real, and I love it. So happy and proud of both of you.

Bro, thankyou for sharing this. I'm literally in this right now! But this story has given me a new smile! And push threw!! Peace hope to meet you guys in coming years!!

This was an eye opener on how much Tj has grown thank you boys. Gotta get Cleetus on next! Love from NZ

I really needed this podcast. As a small time entrepreneur currently in a rut, knowing that people I admire both as a car enthusiast but mostly as a business owner have been through the trenches and went through similar experiences makes me feel better and also more inspired to keep moving forward and keeping my nose to the grindstone. Thanks lads. Big love from Australia ❤

This was an awesome listen, really appreciate you taking the time to explore this avenue of long form content so we can really hear about all the small insights and details you can’t fit into a vlog, loving it 👍

I found both Adam’s and TJ’s Channels kind of in a similar time - I.e., going through heartbreak, etc… and it makes me so happy to see where they are now. To any going through a tough time, car enthusiasts or not, know that we as a community and as influencers support y’all. We’re all here to spread love and support.

This has quickly become a weekly staple, keep it up dawg

100% worth the listen! Learned some new details about the behinds the scenes. Crazy to see the growth from TJ and it is well deserved.

Damn bro, I am like 13 mins in and I really connect and feel for you Teej. Also, haven't been this hyped over a podcast since "All The Smoke"

Long time fan of both Teej and Adam and to hear these more chill BTS style conversations is super refreshing. Hyped for more episodes, would love to see the Taylor Ray story

I listened to this entire podcast while working, and man I have so much respect towards you guys

Gotta do a Collette episode.....James Episode...... Kinda interesting to hear TJ side of the Merch Drama w/ Tunercrate and w/ MIke...I watched Mikes episodes about this situation haha

My apologies to TJ for years i didn’t like or subscribe to your channel because this entire time i fell for the lie , i never heard your side of the argument and i truly believed you played that guy. Now i finally see what really happened. My apologies ✊🏼🙏🏼

im only 20mins in amd i got so much respect for you both man. you guys have provided quality entertainment for so long and im glad iv been apart of the trip. is not to hear this side of things that you dont get on the main channels to offten. you guys are awesome. keep movin forward.... or sideways 😂

The community you have going is amazing tj, Jimmy, tommy, rudnik, just the whole crew is epic

Loving these podcasts so far! So nice to get an inside look of how these people got where they are

This is quite literally the best podcast i have ever listened to. It has everything i care about in one place and it's all coming from people i respect and look up to very much. Nowhere else would i be able to get this kind of insight in to how these people work.

Got to the whole stagnat part of the video and gahh its soo accurate! I've been doing youtube since 2017 and I've been stuck in the same spot for 4-6months and just watching analytics is so disheartening time to time but you can't focus on that just gotta keep pushing forward.. this has been the hardest time for me as a small channel but the support I do have is amazing and thankfully I do it for fun and to inspire others 👊

this was the best one yet by far and so extremely motivating. keep it up!!

Been putting off KZfaq for a long time because I’m afraid of messing it up. I really appreciate this podcast & the honesty expressed here. This is really motivating. Thank you Adam & TJ!

I listened on Spotify but what an absolutely great episode. The content from you two has been next level lately!

Loved this podcast episode!!! Found both of you through youtube recommends and Thatdudeinblue vlogs! I didn't realize how long I have been watching TJ until he mentioned the old brand and drama deal that happened... it was really awkward as a viewer too because I loved both channels at the time. I'm so glad that I stuck with TJ though! I found him through youtube recommendations and it was some crazy miata he reviewed and I was hooked after that haha. It's also crazy thinking about these guys being inspired by youtube channels I also watched in high school and wanted to do that stuff but never had the confidence too. Makes me look up to Adam and Tj even more! Keeps me motivated to be patient and chase my dreams!

Fantastic podcast! It’s so cool to see a podcast with the two of you after watching both of you over the past 6+ years!

I have never really been into podcasts, but I am absolutely loving this one man. Just hearing these success and failure stories from people who are now prominent names in the automotive industry is nothing short of inspiring. Coming from someone who has been working their butt off just to get my foot in the door, this is exactly what I have been needing to hear.

Whew! Fuckin shit that was long but it was refreshing! I’m in a hard spot in life rn and the simple reminders to keep moving forward are all I need. You guys are awesome and I’ll definitely make sure to meet the both of you by the end of the year❤️💪

Love these podcasts Adam. Keep up the good work 🙏

This was Awesome man. Always good listening to you and TJ interacting. Keep this up for sure.

Love Your podcasts and I WANT MOREEE!! 😁 really cool and inspiring storys. I’d love to hear all your crew members story. Keep doing what You do, it’s really enjoyable. Cant wait for the next one

First podcast I ever listen to and it has been the best one hats off to both of you 👏

This podcast is so dope! Anyone else ready to hear, Cleetus, Vaughn, Jimmy Oakes, Colette Davis, Tommy fyeah and so on!

Dude, loved these so much! Can't wait for more! Thank you Adam and TJ!

You guys talking about relationships gives me a lot of hope you guys are genuine people

That was a really good conversation with two humble lads who are the same but different good stuff

2 of the best people in the world!!. i hope u start videoing these .. love u guys

This was incredible. Can’t wait for more episodes!

Being a small channel and business that is growing, the information I received from this podcast is worth more than anything money could buy. You guys are awesome. Loving every moment you guys are together on camera. Thank you for the genuine knowledge

What’s up guys, You guys hanging out more and making videos together brought my two fav KZfaqrs together. I moved to Florida alone with my husky after a really dark point in my life to work on me and focus on me a lot like you guys and little did I know I had all time low point point physically being homeless with no car and after working on my self and moving forward and never stopping I now have my own place a 370z and my own power washing business mostly doing mobile details I’d love to give my story because it’s very similar to how Tj got really into laws of the universe and self love and it had the same affect on me and my life

I'm really enjoying these episodes so far. Keep it up! Great material on while I'm grinding towards a dream!

Damn ngl I was guilty of thinking Tj was in the wrong with the whole smurfinwrx beef but hearing his side of the story now really changed my perspective, lesson learned that what we see isnt always the truth. What a great episode so far

Awesome podcast Tj has one hell of a story very entertaining man. Love the podcast I like that you don’t ask the same old questions it’s really awesome.

Good message and cool story. I have been following TJ longer but Adam surpassed a while back, to see and hear you guys telling where it started was cool af for an old man such as myself. You guys are the next group behind mine and it warms my heart to hear you guy’s continuing car culture. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘

Thank you so much for this podcast and for the awesome advice. Props to TJ for his mindset, super happy for what he's been able to accomplish.

Far out i forgot about the street drifting clip with Taylor Ray props to TJ for talking about it

Woah, I never knew the depth of the dude you worked with on merch being so crazy, i wish this had come to light earlier but props for keeping your head down and keeping your nose to the grindstone, safe to say what you built has well surpassed that person.

Adam, you are such an inspiration to the car community. I'm really proud to have been part of your growing up and making these huge moves. Keeps up the great work man!

Those things about the relationships having you down to your worst I can relate a lot to. Finally making my way out of it and it helps to have you guys saying the same thing that it can be better on the way out of it.

Love the podcasts! I’d definitely recommend throwing some film in here as well though, for those of us who would like to watch & listen at the same time. Kind of like a JRE or FlagRant podcasts! Much love to both of you 🙏🏻

Great work on the podcast, I love the content but the way you express it makes it great for non car people to enjoy it with the content you want to talk about. As a dad of kids coming into there early teens and all love this internet space I believe thay can learn alot. Can't wait for the next one and myself learning about these people you have come in contact with

One of the best things I’ve listened to in a very long time!

Guys thanks for this!! Great insight and really appreciate the openness!

All of these are inspirational to a very serious degree cant wait for more and to try and actively work at it in my own life, thanks lz

Awesome pod cast had it playing while designing hats for my wife’s company that y’all have motivated us into starting . Keep it up the both of you 👍🏻

I needed this podcast. Building a startup now and times are really good and really tough. Thanks!

Awesome listening to this again and seeing Tj thriving with employees

I think this podcast achieves your goal to teach people how to achieve their goals so well!!! Much better than any self help thing you could watch or listen to, not only is it motivational but really teaches good lessons through real life stories

This was a truly great episode. Love the humanising aspect of it, and TJ, I gotta be honest, I was never a big fan of your content, not because of you as a person or the nature of your content but simply the fact that atleast for the vlogs I sawyou could not stand still, always walking forwards and backwards and it was annoying to me. However, learning your story here today, comparing aspects of it to my own, you have my outmost respect and this podcast has changed my viewpoint of not just you, but Adam as well in a highly positive manner! Thank you to the both of you for putting this up, this was a game changer for me, and TJ, you gained a subscriber from this, AND a regular viewer, despite the annoyances! Much love.

This was suuuuch a good listen!! Need more of LZ and TJ!!

great podcast as always. I am glad you started doing these

Great great podcast 🖤 A lot of eye opening on this one You guys are both inspiration and made me realize a lot of things. Thank you 🙏

Man this podcast is really cool because it kinda gives some insight into people I've followed for years and it's pretty cool to hear some things I never knew. Once again, I love the podcast, keep it up!

Just need video to go with it, but this is ace! Well done guys! 🎉

This was an awesome podcast! I've always liked Tj but I have a lot more respect for him after hearing his journey and stories in more depth.

Work till your idols become your rivals. Loved this podcast. Thanks for hosting Adam and thanks for talking about your story Teej

Awesome to hear the real story of tj and the fact that it’s not just easy to come up and the things that he’s been thru.

New level of respect for the both of you

Best one yet Keep up the great work!!!

this could not be a better podcast. my two people i look up most to. this is so sick lz good shit.

The fact that they did this made my week.

I'm really enjoying these podcasts so far. I do wish they had video on them in the future, but I'm looking forward to future guests.
