This is the Six Figure Home Studio Podcast, episode 138

Brought to you by COVID-19. You're listening to the Six Figure Home Studio Podcast. The number one resource for running a profitable home recording studio.

Welcome back to another episode of the 6 Figure Home Studio Podcast. I am your host, Brian Hood, and I'm here with my bald, beautiful, purple-shirted co-host, Christopher J. Graham. How are you doing today, my friend?

Christopher J. Graham (0:34)

I'm good. I'm very good.

I bought a car, Brian.

Brian Hood (0:38)

I know, dude. You bought... Okay, so back in my bachelor days on my bachelor party, we went on a trip to Yosemite. We called it the brosomite trip.

We rented jeeps on that trip, and you fell in love with a specific jeep. Tell us about it.

Christopher J. Graham (0:52)

The Jeep Renegade. So you guys don't know the Wrangler. It's on the podcast all the time.

It's engine blew up.

Brian Hood (0:58)

Thank God it was time.

Christopher J. Graham (1:00)

It makes me sad.

Brian Hood (1:01)

I mean, now that I've seen photos of your new car, and I think it's a blessing that your other old trash car died.

Christopher J. Graham (1:06)

It has been. It's better than the Wrangler. So it's a Jeep Renegade, which is what we had.

Brian Hood (1:10)

Do we gear slut for car models?

Christopher J. Graham (1:13)

Yeah, nah.

Brian Hood (1:15)

James will figure it out. There either was or wasn't one.

Christopher J. Graham (1:17)

We could gear slut for this. My Jeep comes with Beats Audio. Ha ha.

It actually sounds pretty good. It actually sounds good. But I'm pumped about it because it's got two sunroofs.

Brian Hood (1:29)

One's a sunroof, one's a moonroof. You knew that.

Christopher J. Graham (1:31)

No, no, no. They're both.

Brian Hood (1:33)

I'm making shit up. I don't know.

Christopher J. Graham (1:34)

It's true. Well, one of them is electric, and then you can take them both out and turn it into like a convertible.

Brian Hood (1:40)

Yeah.

Christopher J. Graham (1:40)

Which my kids went nuts for. And hilariously, I got a new car. I'm like buying all the accessories for it. And I bought what I think is one of the most fabulous products on the face of the earth, not sponsored, because it's called a NoCo Boost Plus.

It's a big lithium battery that you keep in your car that has like this little pair of jumper cables.

Brian Hood (2:02)

So when you inevitably leave your interior lights on or your door cracked or your headlights on and your battery's dead, you can jump yourself off? Is that what it is?

Christopher J. Graham (2:09)

Yeah. Or in my case, you went out to your car last night to put this new device in your car and you left your trunk open all night long.

And then had to jump your car the next morning with the new device.

Brian Hood (2:23)

No, you didn't.

Christopher J. Graham (2:24)

Yes, I did.

Brian Hood (2:25)

That's incredible. It's like.

Christopher J. Graham (2:26)

It was awesome.

Brian Hood (2:27)

It's like, this product's awesome, but also I wouldn't have needed it had I not had this product.

Christopher J. Graham (2:31)

Exactly. It's like a hundred bucks, but like everybody should have one of these in their car.

Brian Hood (2:36)

Yeah, cause it's so annoying, dude. Like I've had multiple times in my life where you're like, hey stranger, who probably thinks I'm gonna stab them in this parking garage. Can you pull your car over here and give me a jump, even though we don't know each other and you owe me absolutely nothing. Yeah.

Christopher J. Graham (2:48)

It's the worst. Yeah, with this thing, it's like literally under 30 seconds and you're on the road again.

So dope.

Brian Hood (2:54)

I just pay for AAA so they can come out and do that shit. But also, AAA here in Nashville is so fast. I've had them come do things multiple times since I've paid for that service. It's like a hundred bucks a year or something.

And they're here within 15, 20 minutes. It's weird in Nashville how quickly they can come, but I'm not complaining.

Christopher J. Graham (3:10)

Well, that's 19 and a half minutes longer than it takes this device to jump your car.

Brian Hood (3:14)

This is so true. Yeah. I mean, this was for tire-related issues, so this thing can't do that. But for battery-related issues, that's just one less thing to worry about.

Christopher J. Graham (3:21)

It also has a flashlight built into it, a USB charger, so if you're out in the middle of nowhere and you need to charge your phone, you've got a whole power bank.
