- In todays episode we sit with Merrick and Swerve from M Powerhouse who have built some of the world's fastest BMWs for over a decade. M Powerhouse has played a role in some of the most iconic BMW builds to date with popular names such as 1stockf30 and Peppa. Merrick was the first to break the world record for the fastest BMW G80 M3, and plans to break the record again after Rick From M Life recently broke the record running a 8.5 in the 1/4 mile. Merrick also covers what his experience has been over the last two decades working on BMWs.

Grims a really good co host, I think Street Alpha would benefit from having him on more often
💯
Waiting for grimms to pull up with the bulletproof and the cowboy hat
Word. Thank god they got that Asian kid outta here. You can tell he has no knowledge or real street racing credentials. 😂
Grims is the best co host so far.
M powerhouse are clowns, after all the BS they talked about b58 s58 being the best, to only say rear wheel drive g80 m3's are trash get rid of them. Morons
I never in my life watched a full podcast let alone watch for two hours. But all the information from all four of you guys was so fun to listen to, jokes and all around good vibes. Easily my favorite podcast channel already.
Same they were really fun to watch😂
Welcome! And glad you enjoyed! 🙏
Me too 😂😂
Bro deadass 💀 never in my life
Facts this and 1stovk
N54 owner here. Truth hurts, Ive dumped so much money into the car on normal and preventative maint and she just runs "ok". Low mileage too on an '09 @ 80k. No codes or anything like that but in comparison to other cars it's such an emotional engine. Almost like it's alive. You look at it wrong and it'll throw a phantom code just to spite you. EDIT - just wanted to add despite the temper tantrums the car has never left me stranded, as far as reliability it's actually been rock solid. Money pit aside lol.
Yeah but saying the n54/n55/s55 is “junk” is crazy bro I own n54 and n55 and yes they both got their dumbass issues and they def some money pits at points but they’re definitely solid engines when running right but maybe I’m just hurt🤧🤧
@@uzik00sh65 I agree, not junk at all but definitely a mechanics nightmare which is where I think they're coming from. But my car, man it's like it runs different day to day, not bad just different. You experienced that?
@@ATH420_woow 😮
He right there's Hella problems but put some respect on the N54...it's the grandfather of every last turbo charged Inline 6 3.0L they've made. They wouldn't be here without it. The tuning capability was found in the N54 and transfered per design into the B58
Damn I own a 740li N54 at 55kmiles. Hasn’t given me any problems
Merrick laughs like the evil villain who has the secret to destroy the world 😂🔥
Laugh is menacing …now I see why 1stock always says “we cookin’ up..!”
“ you’ll run 9s all day “ - mechanic
“ I want to go faster “ - customer
“ bro who are you racing” - mechanic
😂😂😂
Is this comment a.i generated?
Facts 😂😂
N54 is the godfather of all the new motors people enjoy. It gets so much hate and it’s disrespectful
The N54 was so good during its time that it inspired the I6 Twin turbo to be featured in M cars which easily changed the M platform for the best. FBO E85 was SPANKING E92 M3s and it wasn’t close. Upgraded turbos were SPANKING supercharged E92 M3s!
N55 was trash and N54 was the baseline platform that spoiled yall new kids with STOCK boosted BMWs.
S55, B58, S58 are all great but they wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the N54! Stock block 700whp in 2007/08 was insane and 5 sec 60-130 was before its time!
RESPECT THE GODFATHER OF BMW MOTORS!
Facts bro 👏🏻👏🏻
n54 is cool and all but its unreliable junk atp theres better engines to tinker with in this day and age lol
@@TheprodigyTrickShot that’s why I said it isn’t better than B58, S55 or S58 but it paved the way. The disrespect for it is insane. Mine made 700whp on stock block. Currently have built motor with 11mm stud conversion running 32psi. Probably make close to 800whp. Don’t have many issues at all. Most people cheap out on parts and cut corners.
Who cares about the g80 record, you guys bought $100,000 cars and pretend like you built something, you did nothing but some bolt ons and a few strokes of the keyboard. BMW engineers are the ones that made that motor fast
@@BoostAuthority lmao omg stfu nobody cares 😂
Yea I agree Grims is a great co- host he always has great back up questions and he helps keeping the interview alive when things get slow, it’s possibly because a lot of people have more of a connection to grim then tukes but I can’t wait to see where this podcast channel strives to next!
Exactly! Thank you for your support!
one of my favorite episodes. Mad respect from Austria. It's really fascinating getting to know the insights of the street races we've been watching for so many years. The people behind it are really awesome. Thank you for the amazing content
These guys are goofs, saying cars are bad because their garbage m340i b58 is faster than them at the 1/4 mile 😂 . Also saying S55 is wack cus DCT sucks for launches, praise. The b58 and s58, best motors out there, but states @1:10:48 to get rid of your rear wheel drive s58 g80. What they need to start sucking on is the x drive system.
@@troymurphy9595 Yeah. The older S55 was never meant to be a drag car. It is a track focused platform.
@@troymurphy9595 IKR lmao, two goofs who knows nothing about actual cars
Grim is a top tier co host ...... would love to hear from Visconti that man seems to be tapped in to the whole tuner industry.
Merrick’s worked on my G80 a few times, I’m definitely one of those slow ass “save the manuals” guy 😂 but great podcast! Loving these and I’m loving learning more and more about car culture in general.
Slow ? Honestly if you can make an H pattern boogie , you definitely have skills !! So don’t even take it that way bruh.
Manual cars are not slow wtf😭😭
Frustrates easily over 120k into his awd car. Its not cheap lol
This who he really need to bring to the podcast 👆👆👆
Why do these guys always think they are the first at everything lmao like no one was racing or building BMW's before they came a long. Theres a huge amount of people in Germany, UK, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe that has built turbo BMW's since the 80's that don't put their shit online.
For the Honda dudes, you should get Jmarsh & the CT guys. Jamie, sonic, his brother & Jroc
💯💯 Jamie a solid ass dude. Tons of respect for him.
This has got to be the funniest episode by far guys thank you also really loved the cohost
Blasphemy. N54 started it all for the BMW i6 with turbos. Engine won six EOY awards, and it was a tuners dream for that era. Super easy to make hp and hurts V8s feelings for decades. Gtfo with that junk talk.
For real, the only reason they would call the N54 junk is lack of experience with the platform, or simply too dumb to understand it.
BoostedBoiz would be an awesome podcast, and im sure Kyle would love to come on he's an awesome dude with tons of knowledge
It would. I'm not into Hondas at all, but i've always liked his channel ever since he lived at home and did shit. I havent watched this podcast for long, but it feels like it's the NY/east coast scene. They go to peoples shop and film the episode. Talking to Kyle would mean flying to Florida
grim needs to be permanent co host, the dynamic duo, y’all kill it
🚦Man I love these interviews these guys have a wealth of knowledge…time to move around to other spots throughout these United States 🇺🇸
Yeah it’s a lot of Good shops Tuners and racers all over not just NYC area 😎
Come to Texas than Florida but don’t forget about California 🙄
Bro said who’s Rock, respectfully who tf is he ? 😂bro in the back cheerleading
Roc NYC he’s the main content creator that films all New York street races like 1stock and no hesi
Dudes had me dying with the Ayo moment at the end of the pod. Tukes couldn’t even get a word out😂
we definitely need reaf on this podcast, his cars are dope af tt r8 and porsche, 2jz 335
Merrik a real one, great guest. His sense of humor 😂
AS A M6 owner I wish we had him in Florida.
S55s are not junk at all. he just saying that for some controversy to bring some more attention to the podcast.
I agree, they praise b58 and s58s , yet later says rear wheel drive. G80's are trash, and get rid of them, nothing. Dudes are clowns.
SWERVE IS TOO FUNNY MAN "all these take over guys why don't you takeover the front of your house" LMAOO BRO SHIT HAS ME DEAD, love m power house and a phenomenal podcast as always, these are legit gold.
Ima have to call bs on the "id rather pull a BMW engine than a Honda"
need to have ColoradoN5x on built the fastest bmws out of denver. (n54,b58,s55,s58)
I will be real i tune in from TX. I started watching NY racing because of Roc. But i like this podcast because of the good information, and i learned about BMW platforms. Shit about to buy a G80 because of the NY racing.
Keep doing good stuff. People change, but having Roc on would be a good thing for NY. No beef needed
Its Good to see our local guys in the hot seat, and the banter on camera is nothing compared to in person 😂😂 Merrick and Stephen been talkin they shiii since the shop BBQ's in FDR park. Grim has proven to be a solid cohost too.
And btw any tristate area E30 can catch these hands NA or Boosted ✌🏾✌🏾😂
Fire interview i was waiting for this one🔥🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲
Ghostboy Aki on the POD !!
This right here is the formula. The hosts and the guests are knowledgeable, personable and entertaining. Loved this episode. Watched the whole ting and never even blink. So very glad to see yaad man with this kinda stance in the car world. Next FastNFurious ago shoot inna Jamaica cause ah dem ting yah.
It’s an all wheel drive 🪁 😂😂 I died
Just my 2 cents I’m a kinda new viewer and I found ROC thru this podcast lookin up the races that was being discussed. I’ve since binge watched every roc video and he has the best perspective of the NY racing scene. Hope they figure something out
Its amazing to get a glimpse into the mindset of the shops and mechanics who build our favorite cars
this was a goood talk just chill and funny to watch, keep it up man your killin it with these!
I'm just confused as to why when BMW Ms are brought up... S55, S58....
All the visitors talk about is the performance of these cars in a straight line drag race..... and 60-130 times...
Maybe to most of yall it sounds cool or interesting... But most M owners are just laughing like why the fuck do I really care about my 60-130 times while I'm at Sebring..... b58 who.... lmfao... like what? What M340i am I worried about at Sebring.... or b58 car....
Just such a funny convo to have..... "the dct in the M has a one second delay" who tf buys a F80 or F82 and stresses their DCT's ability to drag race.... tf... LOL
The supra boys keep resharing this shit too, but not one of them even goes to the drag strip because of their "axles" Most of these convos are so out of proportion for the average person who comments here. 90% of racers aren't spending any of this money, They do simple bolt ons and talk shit.
So the b58 setup works for most. Cheap reliable to make 5-700. The M owners in the same age group cannot afford the upkeep to make the same numbers reliably or the b58 owners call out M cars with less mods done and post the races, Meanwhile the car isnt even setup for roll or drag racing. And the circle of stupid conversation continues.
The properly setup S55s in Florida do well. Cars in their power range do not race them and talk shit like mentioned in these interviews. Usually a Supra making 300hp more will call it out. But that same supra is not coming to do anything else that's not in a straight line.
At the end of the day some 600 hp AWD civic is gonna destroy all of them anyway.....
The e92 e46 f82 etc M platform was not designed to go drag race. It's not a 6 figure glorifiied roll racer. Its not a Hellcat being sold to their respective base a a straight line beast. So i feel like these conversations are so counterproductive. .00001% of the car community is trying to drag race their s55s competitively.. so why even base your times, or platforms or cockiness off of them... Retarded.
Use your brains
Facts 💯 . These guys are morons for saying s55 is trash because it has DCTs. All these idiots care about is drag racing, and they also fail to see that if s55 motors had x drive, of course it would drag race better.
Merrick , good guy , helped me find a part for my x5m dude left his shop to go out and look for the part with me Good dude right there
Bro not going to lie co host really be doing his thing.. keep him for real, don’t listen to these dudes that hate. If you wasn’t lit they wouldn’t hate ❗️ this vid was great vibes from everybody honestly 🔥
TRUTH: AWD is boring AF.. sure it gets out the hole and will beat cars from a dig on the street that it shouldn't, but I am 42, and from the old school feeling of being the better driver.. Stick shift rwd cars 100% take skill to and 100% take practice to master the race.. When you just "buy" your wins.. there is nothing to brag about.. I just don't understand the love of this awd auto world of guys that really can't actually "drive".. I could put my 15yr old daughter in any of those cars and make a quicker pass just due to her being lighter than you.. Y'all can have fun but don't ever call yourselves bad ass racers..
N54, N55 convo 21:20
Thank you
Big up m power house. Salute to street alpha podcast for hitting 100k. Subs. Well deserved. Keep the good content coming and going. Very informative stuff.
I swear he’s not lying i switch from a 392 Dayton to a G80 and I have no regrets
You all have to know that the N engine were the catalyst when BMW went FI, it's BMW's initial attempt from a long hiatus on FI, its an over engineered engine as BMW engineers wanted to make sure they come out strong on their first outing with that said as expected there will be issues just like any other engine that is in the genesis stage but that gave BMW engineers enough data to improve on the S58 and so forth and so on. Calling it trash is like a disrespect to the elders because without the N engines there won't be any FI engines. And moving forward with the years and the FI engines came out, the interest in quarter mile caught their attention and there are people that build their cars for top speed, track and longevity which these cars a built for.
its trash compared to todays standards.
How? With todays standards…The reason why i diagreed for the mere fact that when the N engines came out they said the same thing to the previous gen. EVery enthusiast who wants to build a bmw who's on a budget would need to start somewhere, same goes when these guys started with e30's and e36's and if u compare those engines to N engine their very outdated and would have to spend quite a bit on the engine and suspension to keep up with the N engine.@@throwaway2910 From experience the best part is knowing the flaws and fixes when building and modding a car/ engine and imho the S54 and N engines have the most known issues but at the same time have the most known fixes and rebuild kits to date that u can DIY it, even if ur not skilled enough as long as u focus, put a lot of time and enroll urself for free in the youtube university. ANd if i have to do it all over and for someone who wants to learn and is interested on building my first platform i would skip the e30 and e36 platform and go with an e46 chassis because you'll learn a lot more but i couldn't say that the e30 and e36 are trash for the mere fact that every RnD and data gathered is the reason why they were able to produce the e46's
@@throwaway2910 And? do you know how 340/440i is expensive its 30k € minimum my 335i costed 12k € that extremly big difference
@@throwaway2910 It's not trash, you clearly haven't worked on the N5x platform very much. The N54 is a powerhouse of an engine and still holds up to this day. The people that call them trash are the kids who try to push 800whp with a custom tune, ebay turbos and no maintenance.
This combo was way to fun. Never laughed this much to a podcast.
Im a 2JZ man, toyota always but i would fuck with the MK5 Supra's. Toyota and BMW. Sweet! I wont be caught watching a Podcast but Merick,Dre, MPower house and 1stock. Big up from out a bomboclaat Jamaica 🇯🇲 street alpha big mi up
The new M2 with the xDrive is going to be the car to keep an eye out for.
Was about to roast yo ass but apparently you are right, just checked there's a few rumours going around about BMW deciding for the new M2 to have xDrive in 2026, hmmm, definitely interesting.
You are a great host even on your solo pod casts for sure ! Don’t let these kids talk crazy to you in the comments allot of them grew up in totally different times then you and I ! Keep killing it tukes!! I can see why you have other co hosts because they bring a different perspective and that brings its own questions out of you that you wouldn’t ask without them ! Anyone who doesn’t see that just not understand how discussions work
Thank you!
Always a great podcast man! Appreciate the work. “Myke myke” would be a cool interview
👀 funny you mention me as I’m watching it lol 😂
Check DMs ! 😂
Yard man dem ruff it up nuff respect from jamaica 🎉
I own a RS3 currently and that was lowkey cuz of Dre doing what he does on the street.
But now maybe a B58/S58 maybe the next phase for my garage
“B58 if you do the motor and you good to go” wtf ? You good to go with every car lol
N55 Owner here and i'm pushing 355 HP @ 100k miles & no issues.
i drive hard and take care of my car,
it's not unreliable, the owners are
I equally hate that people are coping you but in this world it’s about who does it better and who is more consistent that wins. You’re doing great overall keep up the good work. Some people to interview that are Hondas Prayoonto, rob renien, Luke from 4 piston , jbre engines (father and son) , Romeo at import dps, Steveo at clm (first awd Honda), owner of Tristate motorsports, fast guy , Aki(keep gunnin) hiboost, sonic , Jamie marsh , frustrate. You could also ask Chelsea denofa (formula drift/youtuber) Good luck and keep up the good work
This was the first time I ever heard of Street Alpha, and I was admittedly a bit skeptical at first. And then I actually committed to listening to it for 5 minutes before arriving at some informed opinion (imagine that, giving something or someone a fair chance). And, long story short, i was pleasantly surprised.. intelligent but casual, sufficiently nerdy without drifting into pedantry, and as a bonus, it clearly embraces diversity, and i'm not just talking about import v domestic here. 😆 You've earned a new subscriber today.
This podcast made me want to get a 340 now 😂 and I’m like 2 hours from his shop 😂
13’ 535i N55 here, its pretty solid besides the drivetrain malfunction. Once you do the OFHG, valve cover, injectors, plugs, coils the car runs fairly well. Its heavy but it moves, the car is drivable with the malfunction but like they said once you fix one thing you need to fix something else. If you have money to spend and are handy its a great daily. Next car will be a 22 M340 though.
Jus a got a 12 535i M used an I love it no leaks at all which is crazy plan on getting as much power as I can out the stuck turbo any suggestions?
Upgrade to metal charge pipe (plastic one will break bc of age), air intake, down pipe. spark plugs and coil pack. Run a fuel system cleaner through it and 93. You can go with a base tune from like jb4 and botmod just to play around. Maybe upgraded throttle body and blow off valve just for the fun of it. Anything after that you’ll be messing around with fuel system and major engine upgrades. Most of this stuff is really simple to do and all the vids are here on YT.
Uzi on the channel would be life changing 😭 you guys should definitely try mighty car mods
We need some shops from West Coast like Sheepy Race, Gintani, VF Enginering, PTG (AMG), GTP (M), as well in the future please
Damn right Save The Manuals! I'll never let the car drive me
Same with newer GM vehicles; only reason the tuning is much more complex is bc of the learning procedures and reprogramming to get all the modules to communicate
Ik alot of the people that comes on here are actual mechanics but I hope Zosh could be on here one day. He deserves the recognition.
@35:57 Grimm you wyling 😂😂😂
s55 is junk LOL. rk tunes disagrees
S55 motor itself is great, reliable and good power. The platform lacks x drive . These idiots only talk about drag racing.
They talk up the b58 and s58 and then says rear wheel drive g80 m3's are trash and get rid of them hahah
all the way from TEXAS saying hands down best episode in my opinion very informative and funny at the same time. cant wait for the next one
Grim needs a permanent spot tbh.
I agree
Lmao nah that sync at 1:08:15 was immaculate 🎉
Bimmer doesnt charge for heated seats. They did away with that after backlash. My 23 has heated seats that just work.
Big Facts! Big Up Merrick... Mpowerhouse respect...
Pop cast is 🔥🔥🔥Hands down b58 awd ,s58 awd and the hemi on the Jeep AWD setup and the Audi 2.5& 2.9 tfsi and course a K engine AWD are controlling the scene personally think🤔 .
I can't believe I'm back watching this again... definitely a lit video 🔥🔥
You guys have to interview @ghostboyaki a true New York street legend if ya talk about otl chispita racing , alante racing , you have to talk about the AK47 aki real legend definitely have to interview him from Yonkers
“Is he from up here? SLOW!” is that his name? 🤣🤣 lost it
Another n54 owner here stock here stage 1 with catalysts, the rest is stock. White e93 in white interior almost 50k original miles. Love the car
It’s well over 100 grand to complete a a 7 sec civic, and I’m talking about doing it right the first time with quality parts, not used junkyard shit for everything
I don't think it will happen. Bmw has sold many motors to other companies, but never an M motor.
Morgans, Supras, Range Rover. All have been non M motor. The only M developed motor they sold was the the V12 in the McLaren F1. I don't think they'd sell Toyota that M motor.
Yes, they're a business and all, but they're not hurting that they need to sell that shit.
I don’t agree with the “what is stock” opinion.
If the car come from factory and has a full warranty, it’s stock.
A S550 Shelby GT500 (5.2 Supercharged Predator) is stock. But a brand new S650 Gen 4 5.0 with a dealer equipped whipple kit is not stock!!
Most BOOST I felt innat N55 ever 😭 shotout The Stigg/Swerve/ my boy Grim 🦾
I have never posted any comment on your episodes but this one deserves one as it’s in my opinion the best episode ever 💪🏽🔥
Can you ask why M5/X5M
S63 platforms are not more popular? Is it because of the higher buy in cost? I've seen some of those cars effortlessly hit 1000hp on a stock motor here in europe, so I'm left wondering why that platform is less talked about. Same goes for Merc and Audi platforms. You see some 5 cylinders but never RS6's or C63's built out to anything close to what G8x are now. Why is that? Weight, drivetrain, ECU, hard to work on or are they just not capable of making power?
Likely cost of entry means less people have them/initially and even less build them.
Ive got a forged motor M5, but just to forge it and get the motor back in the car set me back 23k with labor.
Thats 0% mod money.
They are very capable, but V8 BMWs, including the M variants, are plagued with many reliability issues in comparison to their inline 6 counterparts. My low mileage twin turbo F10 M5 was often problematic with even mild OTS and custom tunes.
V8 bmw engines are dog shit coolant nightmares
He said a 100k to build a honda for it to go 8sec capp your not a real Honda guy 😂 not true at all
20k
Keep up the grind bro wether you look at it as a flex or not it’s a achievement. People can’t replicate what you do. 🤙🏻
Thank you 🙏🏽 I love the positive comments they are appreciated!
I think this was the best and most interesting video that you had on your podcast so far and I watch all of them
Grim is hands down best co host and he said his best episodes are alone but not factoring in the people he was actually interviewing in those videos that was the main factor for those views not you being alone love the show
There was never a debate about who the best co host was lol, it was mentioned because someone stated that this show wouldn't be anything without a co host which is a stretch. As a whole everyone comes together to put on for the community with the podcast, you can't just look at one aspect of the show it's everything not just the co host.
@@StreetAlphaPodcast I didn’t hear the part about being nothing without one I would agree on that being a stretch
@@racksdavis2026 That's the main reason it was brought up lol responding to a comment on a previous episode. Having Grim on is always great and you guys will be seeing him more often 🙌
G8X M3/M4 in Europe and Asia have 510BHP at the crank from factory, they don’t come with 700BHP. A car with down pipes and a tune is not stock.
Top fuel hoops have been done in heads and decks for literally 50+yrs.. Its all about clamping down the head.. Also studs, and stud placement in the heads and deck make a huge difference in the ability to hold it down.. Gotta look back before you try and re-invent the wheel..
A lot of people dont know that the B58 has a smaller bore, longer stroke 3.0L vs the S58's larger bore, shorter stroke 3.0L. (82x94.6 vs 84x90)
Crazy no one mentions the s63
definitely not a podcast enjoyer but this one was interesting and funny af, loved the co-host and guests
0:38 who am I racing?? You never seen the ghosts in the game going faster🤣
@8:00 Pepper Seed was there... Montgomery with the green 325i e36 M swap (turbo) tuned by Active Autowerks in FL. Merrick just forgot those guys.
They immediately loose credibility when they call the N54 junk. If you cant maintain an engine just say so, the N54 isn't the best engine in the world but it is far from junk. Forged internals allow you to make 700-750whp without building your engine. There are a lot of support parts of the engine that will fail with time, but you would replace those anyways when making high power. N54's also aren't that difficult to work on if you have a shop. Lack of experience with the platform is the only reason they would call it junk. The N55 has some bigger issues when it comes to the motor itself, but I still have fun with them. There is a reason the N54 is a lot of people's entry to high power builds.
Love this channel. Using all the info to help decide what car to upgrade to
You should have freshkicks and myke myke on this
Deffo one of my favourite podcast channels to watch, keep it up bro, mad love from the UK 🇬🇧 👊🏾
Grim knows his thing, the hood celebrity and the Caribbean references was good.
Ngl no hate bro but if you wait for him to finish his sentences we can hear what he saying
Im only chatting this

Nah! Roc needs to get on the podcast. This platform is actually larger than his. It will make him bigger. But I think it would be beneficial for both sides
@@unknown82626would love to interview him to be really honest, he was one of the first people I reached out to and I saw him working before he was who he is now. No one knows this but he would hit me up behind the scenes asking camera related questions, even when his camera broke he called me to ask what he should buy. Merrick said it best one hand washes the other, no one is better than anybody. However not everyone remains humble
@@StreetAlphaPodcast First of all yes I reached out to you to collaborate as content creators because although you had the following on IG I had it on TH-cam. It was going to be beneficial for both.

Both of ya gotta forget all of that "he used to dm me asking question/for collab" stuff cause these are kinda just irrelevant bygones that dont really have anything to do with having you on the podcast. And Yes maybe they didn't have to imply the message of staying humble on the podcast because it's kinda projecting a message that might not be 100% true about you. You both are chill and humble guy and for Roc we all know how much you've done for the scene, it's obvious because of all the work you've put onto youtube. It doesn't have to become a bad relation between you two imo. Go on the podcast talk about cars, your passion, the racing scene etc, it's gonna be a chill time and every one will love it. I'd bet that 99% of the people here didnt know any of the pass event between you two especially the bad ones and people dont want to see dumb dramas except the kids, so there's no need to bring those out under the spotlight. As an audience who watch both of your channels it's kinda unfortunate to see bad relation between guys like you two
