#14 All Access Review KECO DENT REAPER DEAD DENT
===
[00:00:00] Hey, what's up everybody? Gene Fetty with the Automotive Appearance Institute back at you with another episode of our All Access podcast. This is number 14. Today is a tool day. Tool time, pit stop, something, I don't know what we're calling them. We're going to talk about some new tools that I got. Some I've got to try, some I haven't got to try, but they are sweet tools.
and I wanted to talk to you about it and we've got a couple of events coming up. We'll talk about that. Also, Dylann, how are you today? I'm doing good. Super duper Dylann has been getting the studio, uh, straightened up and cleaned up all week. Hopefully the audio is a little better. We added some more sound deadening panels as we get this finished.
We get the lighting hung. Uh, we'll do a little studio tour, but it is not quite to tour level yet. We were headed down the right direction. It's looking great. Uh, we've got a door installed, uh, also not finished yet, but the [00:01:00] door is hung, uh, to help keep some of that sound from up front from coming back in here.
So let's talk about some of these tools. Uh, now, uh, I want a couple, bought a couple. We'll talk about them all. I don't think anybody gave me these. Now I take that back. I was gifted this one, but it's awesome. So, you know what? Let's start with this one. What should I do? You should do some tool ASMR into the microphone for our audio listeners.
Tool. Okay, here, we'll do a little. So this is the end game. Let me show it how it comes. This is the end game from Dead Dent Tools. I believe in Anson company now. The handle comes just like this. Absolutely in love with it. So it clicks on like a normal hub tool.
So crisp. [00:02:00] Yes. The magic lies in not having to remove the handle to ratchet it. So two buttons, this is on and off the smaller lower button. And this one is as Craig Dyer would say the magic button.
You just hear it clicking. Around Dylann has given a thumbs up on the ASMR for you. Awesome tool. It's called the end game, I guess, because you're not going to need any more handles. Everybody that I have let try this handle absolutely loves it. The 15 degree kick, uh, is nice. It takes some of the pressure off of your arm.
Now I have been a, I think it's the gorilla handle or tactical handle, whatever it is, the original style hub handle. Um, I've been using for years. I've got an extension. This,[00:03:00]
I don't know if you're getting any spinach there. It's picking up. Perfect. I always work with this extension. So this is my go to handle set up. Uh, it makes pushing effortless. These old dent guys shoulders are smoked from too many years of not enough leverage. Uh, the end game, uh, this is sort of an updated review.
I got a prototype, uh, at. MTE or I'm sorry at the PDR expo in Las Vegas brought that back. Um, the fit and finish was great. Uh, it was nice, not great. Uh, these are the finished production for sale ones. Got to smooth out some of the corners. Awesome. Awesome tool. Uh, and now I've been using this for what? So we started in September, October, November, December, so three months.
I've been using it for a quarter. Uh, love this handle. Everybody I've let try the tool. loves this handle. It's an instant. Yes. Go get it. Uh, [00:04:00] again, available at dead dent tools. com or ants and pdr. com for sure. While we're talking push tools, let's talk about the latest releases from our buddy John Videne, the dent reaper himself.
Uh, first up, uh, are the Kratos K R a T O S. I think that is the Greek God of something. I'll look it up. Greek God of power or strength or Dylann will check it out. I thought it was like an Avengers reference. I thought so too, but I was on the Dent Nerds podcast and John said it was a, uh, Greek God. I believe it's a Greek God.
K R A T O S. Oh, he's also a Oh, and is a character in the God of War video game based on Greek and Norse Norse Norse mythology. There you go. So this tool, uh, comes in a set, uh, 18 and 24 inch two [00:05:00] piece. Uh, it's the fat tip set retail on it on dent reaper. com is two 69 for the pair. This tool is man. It's gotta be at least three eights, maybe even a hair up from three eights, shaved, but not.
Super shaved. I don't know how well that's going to show. Maybe Dylann can punch in. It was when I asked John, I said, well, what kind of, what kind of push are you going for? What, what's the, what's the idea of the tool? And it is a broad clean push that feels a little sharp. It really reminds me of how the hail angels push.
Uh, you know, they're, they're, uh, I had the aluminum killers, the AKs from Excalibur, love them. Great tool. And then I get to try the hail angels and the push is just clean. And then it lets you get sharp. This Kratos tip [00:06:00] is the exact same thing. It's got, it's not a hard 90 where it comes around the edge.
It's sort of rolls a little bit. I use this on a sharp shot, deep shot in a accurate door was the first dent I got to try this on. It pushed, it really, it makes a really clean push. Tons of drive, especially right. Paired with the end game. Um, definitely recommend it. At first I was like, I won these. So I won the set of these at Dapper Dent Repairs.
Uh, dense for kids meetup is where I won these tools at. Uh, at first I was like, do I really need another push tool? I love my, uh, Oh shoot. What are they called? The Anson door set. Anyways, the awesome Anson door set that Dylann will put up on the screen. Um, I can't think of what the, I'm having a total brain fart on what that tool is.
Anyways, I was like, do [00:07:00] I really need a, another door Lords? I love my door Lords. I was like, do I need another push tool? But I want it. So I was like, all right, we'll give it a go. Love it. Uh, actually possibly will become my go to door tool. They're, they're certainly in the mix and I'm grabbing these first over the door Lords.
Now the door Lords, a sharp, a sharper push. This is broader and then sharper. It's cool. So the set of two from dent reaper. com. Um, Won this set. Thank you, Dent Reaper, for donating them to Andy. Andy, thanks for having the event and letting us donate some tools and end up in the raffle and end up with this awesome piece of equipment.
Now, the ones I had my eyes on to win, I put my tickets in both, the ones I was really hoping to win are the new 3D dent reaper tools. Uh, same thing in 24. I just grabbed the [00:08:00] 18 of my Kratos and the 24 of this because my desk was getting full. The dent reaper 3d, I did buy these. I scooped it up on the black Friday sale.
Thanks dent reaper for having a black Friday sale. Uh, these are a pretty cool tool. So hopefully you can see that it is a, tear shape, right? Maybe if we go this way, uh, it's a tear drop or a drop point. Maybe it comes out and gets fatter right before it comes back in for the tip. Uh, I don't know what shape Dylann, what shape would you call it?
I would say that's like the tip of a pencil, like a really sharp pencil. Yeah, but a pencil square, this like flares out before it gets square. I don't know. I, I wasn't a. You're right. There you go. There you go. Uh, so the idea with this tool is, uh, I don't, I don't want to say it's [00:09:00] necessarily that style, but stand liner style of rolling tool.
So with this edge, instead of just a push, if you're in the door, you sort of like, instead of just twisting, load it a little bit and you're trying to get out here onto the panel. And then you get a little bit of a rock. I did an aluminum F three 50 door the other day, the nice five or six inch crease. And I was able to roll off of this point about a half an inch at a time.
So a little roll, so clean. And then when you're ready to finish picking like unload and then come out and you've got a great sharp tip to come in and detail out the, uh, the door. Now that head. Does have a little flare. You would maybe struggle down some European windows to get that. It was a tight fit.
Uh, I had to go, I used the stocky wedge. I had to go right next to the wedge to get that down into the [00:10:00] door. So just know that it is a little bit of a thicker, uh, more pounded out shape. Yes. Dylann, you have a question? I always raise my hand. I don't want to interrupt and like overlap, you know, it's all good.
Yes. Your question. So I'm not a PDR technician, right? You're not? No. Surprisingly, I could probably glue pool a little bit. That's what Mac thought too. If you guys hear any knocking in the background, that's my son Mac in PDR training on the other side of the wall. But my question is, do you prefer a sharper tip or adult tip?
And what are the circumstances between the, like what circumstances do you use? Which ones when you use it? Yeah. If that makes sense. It does. Uh, so I, it depends, it depends on the damage. Uh, so where do I use a sharp tip? The two places that I like to use a sharp tip first is if we've got something that we're worried about stretch, if we've got a dent that's worried about having stretch [00:11:00] in it, Uh, we will attack that with a sharp tip to try to draw some metal in to keep from shrinking, but actually to start that crinkle and draw it in, uh, like the, the door Lords are sharp.
The Mark circus set is sharp. These 3d Reapers are sharp. Um, so if you were trying to draw the bottom and you're trying to scrunch metal together, sharp tips are good there. I also like a sharp tip for finishing. If I'm really trying to get the highest level detail finish. sharper tip allows me to go in like at the texture of orange peel and split orange peel or finish orange peel up.
Um, when the damage is not sharp, uh, man, I like a bigger tip and we're going to talk about some tips here in a minute. A bigger tip, sometimes a softer tip to move more metal cleaner and faster, but don't use a soft tip on a dent that you think might be stretched because you will displace the metal and stretch it out faster.
That's good to know. There you go. Little [00:12:00] PDR 201. Thank you. 101. Uh, but great tools. So, uh, so the 3D set, uh, the 369 on sale at dentreaper. com. Uh, excellent tools, just like everything from Dent Reaper, right? It's a high quality tool. John is, is working with John over at A1, uh, to make, uh, the best possible tools they can get together.
So that is it for push tools. Moving on over to, uh, we'll go, we'll stay at Andy's event. Andy again, thank you for having that event and making Christmas better for some families. And thank you to the tool companies who donated that made the raffle possible. That just helps breed more generosity. We love it.
I love this industry because we do that. So with one of my wins. I got the new K Tips. I didn't even know this was a [00:13:00] product until I won them. Danny Hacker. You gotta keep me in the loop, dude. I, like, I guess I'm the redheaded stepchild now. It doesn't matter anymore. Quite literally the redheaded Well, cinnamon and sugar now, but I used to be a redhead.
Andy, er, uh, Danny, I'm just kidding. It's alright, dude. I, it's fine. He's only crying a little bit, a little bit, just on the inside. Anyway. So the Kiko, uh, K tips now, hopefully we can get this to show up. Dylann can maybe punch in, this is a, so I would imagine that these tips would fit on your standard, like ultra black cap, soft tip style tool.
Um, but these Dylann, you like your ASMR. This has, uh, it's this, it's a similar shape. It is that like sort of rounded. Bullet pill topper, uh, but it's got a groove cut in it that locks these tips on. So here comes some ASMR for you. We can get it in [00:14:00] here. You ready? Yeah. That was so clean. So it, uh, they sort of pop on and lock on, uh, different, um, radii, I think is the plural word, radii, radii, radiuses.
something like that. So big fat mama here, thick sides around the, um, around the tip. This is going to be your softest, uh, tool. I'm excited to see these have come out. I have a couple of prototype tips that Hayes Freeman of pivot pivot tip fame made. Uh, they're like a giant pivot tip that he's not brought to market.
No matter how many times I've said, Hey, he's bringing it to market. Hey, he's bring those tips to market. They're amazing. Let's get it done. Chris White, if you watch this, call Hayes, ask about those tips. The two of you put your heads together and make it happen because Kiko, I believe manufacturers and takes care of all the pivot [00:15:00] tip action for Hayes.
These remind me a lot of the pivot tips without the pivot action. Uh, but anyways, those big tips, uh, big tips like this are great for moving large damage, large metal. Uh, but they're rigid enough, like, I don't know how well you'll see it, but like squeezing on this pretty hard, there's just not much give, but when you're pushing and driving a tool, it's going to just sort of mushroom out and push and make a large broad push for you.
You can use these just like most tips for pushing or knocking down. Uh, great for like your medium sized crowns. I'm not so sure that I can get this off without it being on a tool. Maybe. Here we go. A little more ASMR. So we've got a medium size tip, right? Putting them side by side, slightly smaller, going to give you a little different push, a little [00:16:00] sharper, soft push.
And then coming down into smaller, this would be like, I would call this like a beefed up tip, same, uh, material. I can't remember, it says what kind of plastic it is on Kiko tabs. com, but anyways, really tough. And another thick walled tab or a tip. So those three, right, are thicker walls, broader pushes, um, Um, just for doing cleaner work.
They also have their version of what, what would be a typical or more typical, um, soft tip size. So about half the thickness, if we can get this to show up on camera, about the half, half the thickness of the wall, uh, on this last tip or second to last tip. Um, Let's see if we can get an ASMR [00:17:00] here, ready, little puff,
great typical soft tip style, style tip. Uh, I think this is going to fall under sort of the same as Anson's, uh, guardian tip guardian and guardian of the galaxy. Uh, which looks about VIP size and they have cap covers for them. The cap covers look like they want to go out on VIP, but they want to split. So like you need the Anson tip.
Uh, and they also have, I can't remember what it's called. The little pink one that is awesome for pushing similar style looks like, and it will go on the ultra style soft tip knockdown. Uh, but you want to grab the proprietary. tip the the male side that comes from Kiko or Anson respectively for their tips.
It's gonna give you the longest life. Dylann's got two cents to add here. I think these are the K tips, right? [00:18:00] K tips, yes. They're made from TPV rubber, which is a soft but rugged material for maximum forgiveness and effective metal flow. There you go. Perfect. Right. It's all about working cleaner. The whole thing is all about working cleaner.
We just had a big van in this week that two of my other techs worked on and they are more in the like, go get it done fast mode. And I like to slow it down and work cleaner. Well, I got stuck doing all their cleanup work at the end of the day. Today. It's fine. Guys, thanks for jumping in and getting that done.
Uh, as much better than doing the whole job. Uh, but I really like if you slow down in the beginning and work cleaner, you're going to finish faster and better because you're not cleaning up your mess. Right. It just makes sense. All right. Don't last ASMR here. I really thought it was going to go like, no, the little ones don't do any ASMR.
Uh, and we also have a hard plastic [00:19:00] Uh, I didn't see these on the site and it could be on there. My guess is, uh, it locks on. In fact, it does lock on here. More of a knockdown style. Uh, I'll probably sacrifice one and see how it pushes. Um, but they, it locks on, it's got three splits in it. It's almost like a, It was like a retainer clip.
Um, probably more of a knockdown style tip. Uh, Danny Hacker, if you listen to this, shoot us an email and we will tell you exactly what it's for in the show notes or in a post. Uh, but anyways, keep an eye out for, uh, an ongoing checkup review, just like with the end game. As I put these through their paces and find all the different places, I like to use them.
We'll be back on another episode to tell you. where I think they really, really shine. Like, where is it? Where does it happen? I am excited to see large heavy duty [00:20:00] tips like this, uh, coming into play. The old, uh, dent craft tips that, that we all know and love are great, but you start throwing some heat, you'll cut through pretty quick.
This, what kind of plastic T? TPV rubber. TPV. This TPV rubber, uh, seems at least at first glance appears to be. Pretty tough stuff. I can't get this cap off. We'll work on that later. Staying in the Kiko line. Keep it at blue. Following my buddy, Danny Hacker. Trying to see how many times I can say Danny Hacker on this episode.
Should I do a Danny Hacker count in the corner? Maybe. Chat, let us know. Yes. Um, I saw a post, I think he made it, it was like his Black Friday post, it was like, hey, here's the hacker approved, cool brand, Danny Hacker, I still don't have a hacker approved sticker, I guess I'm not hacker approved, anyways, [00:21:00] saw his Black Friday post, I don't remember what all he had in it, but I had almost all of it.
but not all of it. So I'm like, well, I guess I'm going to kiko tabs. com to do some shopping. Uh, the first thing I saw that I think they just came out with, uh, are these new tab straps. So essentially like if you get this, they are taking a rigid centipede and they are machining out the spine and leaving.
Just that last maybe inch and a quarter or so on the tab. What these are, are Kiko's answer to tension straps, right? So our buddy Keith has some great tension straps from black plague. Anson has some great straps from Anson. Hanson carries their own straps. I [00:22:00] guess that's how we would say that. Uh, and the straps are great.
Uh, and they're almost impossible to create collateral collateral. Yeah. Yeah. Almost impossible to create collateral damage with, unless you pull against the panel, right? If you're just literally pulling laterally, I have not been able to pull hard enough to really cause any damage. No. And if you go check out the GPR masterclass, we had a couple, uh, where you pulled out the lateral tension straps and you were, I mean, you were putting the work in on those and there was no other, it's unreal what they can do.
It really, really is. In fact, you could, you could head over to the auto appearance institute. com and check out our whole lateral tension class. We have a whole class on it. And check out what I was just talking about at GPR masterclass. com. Exactly. Yes. Uh, shameless plug. It's our show. We can do what we want.
Anyways. So these are called the tab straps. Uh, so [00:23:00] what they have done or what they found is you load this up with glue here because it's so flexible, much like a strap. Uh, it is not diving into the panel. It's, it's just pulling straight back. And even if there is dive, there's not enough rigidity anywhere.
Okay. to cause collateral damage. Now this, these are made to work with the K power, which has become over this past year. I got this at MTE over the past year. This has become my go to tension tool, right? I love the JVF tool. I love, uh, being able to tension off of a pull tower when it makes sense. But like my go to, you know, tension tool has been the K power but without Kiko accessories.
So I've been using this in conjunction with, and if you go check out Instagram, I think I've made a few posts about it. I've been liking it with straps, right? It's been a great way to move the [00:24:00] straps, be it black plague or the Anson straps. I get great pulls. It's not quite perfect, but I love how it pulls.
I just taped up, put some test tape around my threads here. Put that through the strap and, and went to town. Again, not, not a perfect example or not a perfect solution, but, but worked well enough. These, right, are made for this. And if you look, if we can show the camera, look how close this is, where the thread is, to the face of the tab.
The closer you can get to the face of the tab, the less likely you are to introduce dive, right? And you can pull stronger without causing dive. So these being made specifically for that are kind of a beautiful thing. Uh, I like this because I can take it and fold it and get it out of my way. We got rubber [00:25:00] caps on here to, um, keep from bouncing off the car, but these are super cool.
I'm glad you guys came up with that. I remember when I saw Danny's video, I think he was in Canada doing a down when he pulled that out. And I was like, like Bob moment in his post, uh, his black Friday post, I think it was, he said, or was talking about the K power accessories. Again, I'm out of the Kiko loop.
Even though this feels like a little bit of a Kiko second half of the show. I'm just not in the Kiko loop anymore, right? We're doing our own thing. We are AAI. We're here. Uh, I knew from talking to Chris, uh, that the K Power originally designed as a lateral tension tool had, uh, the potential and they were working on some accessories to make it think of like a screw drive port of power, right?
To make it a push tool, a powerful push tool. Um, [00:26:00] but and attention to like pretty cool sort of how you would use a port of power, right? When a lot of guys like Bryce Kelly uses a port of power for tension and for pushing K power is the same thing, but we're not carrying around a big pump. It's nice and easy and seeing these accessories and these, I think I'm going to have to pull the trigger on a K power mini to junior or whatever.
I can't remember it's many or junior. It doesn't matter the smaller version. So these tools, what do we got? Yeah. We have a foot here. So think, uh, think quarter panel, uh, wheel well, and you're hit hard enough that the, the inner pushed a bit, right? So doing a, a body shop, I have got, I don't have them here in front of me.
I've got stack tools, uh, that are made for going. It's like a big giant welded up thing for getting up inside of the wheel house and grabbing it with the [00:27:00] chain on your pull tower and pulling and we pull the outer and the inner at the same time. And that was the only way we could get a move on the inner.
Well, now we can take this, right? We can take this foot, this big foot, just thread it on, right? That threads in here, obviously screwdriver. And then on this end, we can take our standard tension and off. And we can come in with, we've got just a regular, uh, kidney shaped foot, right? It's the same rubber as the mini lifter or the Robo, uh, K beam junior, uh, or K beam.
You can take that off and we've got two threaded holes. One of those threads onto here. If I hold my tongue [00:28:00] just right, right. So now we can push right. And this will close way down. Uh, but we can push with just this foot, right? We can put the rubber back on. We can take this R4 tip that comes with this kit.
R4 and a pivot tip thread that right into this foot. And my demo powers are rusty and it's a little awkward, right? So we can set you up just like that for a precise push or more precise push. We can take this tip off and thread with the included coupler, uh, large on one side, five sixteenths on the other.
Right. We can thread right onto the K power, give you one of these, right? So you can actually [00:29:00] get in and make some relatively precise tools. I saw a Sal Contreras did that years ago. And then I in turn did it, the tap took a tap and, uh, tap threads into my port of power. So I could make more clean controlled pushes with my port of power.
So that's exactly what this does. And then what else do we have? We have got, uh, I think it would turn into a sacrificial curved, uh, T slot adapter, like a, the tab track adapter from the pulling system, but this is curved and can go up and allow the inner lip of a wheel well to go right in there. And this bracket allows you to thread this right on to, Okay.
Power. Now you can get that foot back in there and then take that, which is your standard wheel well curve and push lock up in [00:30:00] and push that all the way out. This tool will do a lot now, like a pretty impressive system. Last but certainly not least, we have this adapter here is for putting on stay. this is a hinge tab.
So now if you need to be out at the edge of a tab or edge of a panel, we can slide this on to here, right? And now you can pull laterally off the edge of the panel or down. If you were, if you needed to come down, if it was like a quarter panel that was driven up, but this will allow you to grab and pull this way.
I believe we can thread this off and thread this onto here. Well, maybe it's like, so yes. So this fits [00:31:00] right into there, which fights right onto there. Now we can pull out and tension a bunch of different ways. Thus making this even more my favorite go to straight tension tool without a doubt. So that is the K power accessory cat.
Is that what they call it? I believe so. Yeah, I don't have that one pulled up. Um, awesome tools, Danny. Thanks, Danny hacker for the Danny count. That's the Danny hacker count that's going on in the screen. Um, thanks for the recommendation, even though it wasn't to me, it was like to the world, but I'm a huge fan.
So I caught it anyways. Uh, thanks for the recommendation. These are great. Um, again, guys, keep listening, keep checking back as I put these things through their paces, get an opportunity to use them. Uh, I will be documenting that coming back and, uh, giving you an [00:32:00] updated, uh, answer as to what I think of this from what I see thumbs up, super pumped to do that.
And I can already picture repairs that I could have used some of this in. Had Danny Hacker kept me in the loop, I may have had these sooner and been able to use them on said repairs. Sorry, Danny. No, sorry. It's going to be a Danny account. I don't know about a Danny Hacker, but if I say Danny, I'm mentioning Danny Hacker.
Yeah. So. It's going to be a lot. Probably. I think I'm at like 11. No, just kidding. I bet it's more than 11. Yeah. Uh, so, uh, that is our, our tool review for this show. What do we got going on? Uh, we are still taking some applications for the PDR 20 group. Uh, I think that is up at PDR 20 group. com. Uh, if you're watching the video, it is that.
QR code up there. Just scan it, go and fill out the form. [00:33:00] Um, we're doing a live glue pull webinar. It's our first webinar. I had an idea for a webinar a long time, like years and years. Uh, and it just never got executed. Uh, well the date set the clocks ticking, uh, auto appearance institute. com forward slash Webinar or that QR code right there will take you to the registration page.
Completely free webinar. Who's it for? If you are one of those people that are like, man, I wish somebody would come do a demo. I wish we could see this. This demo is for you. This, this webinar is for you. We're going to show you what's capable with gluepol repair, some of the latest tools, uh, and all of the great techniques, uh, process.
You're going to see just how simple it is to use glue, pull repair, to level up your PDR game, to level up your collision repair game. You name it. We're going to show it. Uh, seating is limited. So go make sure you [00:34:00] register QR code up here or auto appearance institute. com forward slash webinar to get there.
Again, it's free. Don't forget MTE, 2025. Is like 45 days from now, something like that, maybe 50, probably 40, six weeks. Yeah, not long. January 30th, uh, 31st and February 1st. I am speaking on the 29th because I'm special. No, not because I'm special. Uh, just because, uh, MTE, this is their second year for, uh, call it like beginner's day.
Okay. So it is more, uh, it's a lower key, uh, more, uh, entry level, uh, seminars, uh, half day education. Find out at mte. live, their new website. Um, Find out more info about that. I'm not sure what the cost is, but I know there are some great, uh, speakers, [00:35:00] especially me. No, I'm just kidding. Uh, there's some great detailing seminars.
I think Stan liner will be there doing like a PDR one on one seminar. Uh, I sat in on, I think it's Mike's Phillips. Detailing last year, great content like all of the instructors are or all of the speakers are at MTE that they've just added a second day for people who are interested in or just are getting into the industry.
So come check that out. Thursday, education day, super excited in my morning class. I have advanced glue pull repair, learning how to unfold metal using GPR to help you do that. Uh, make better, faster, cleaner PDR repairs, paintless repairs. In the afternoon, I'm sure this would, if we were selling tickets, I'm sure it would be a sellout, but it will be a standing room only event.
We're doing the shop owners round of table again. Uh, myself, Matt Moore, Corey Klinefeldt, Chris [00:36:00] Ray, and Dave Detlaff is joining us this year. Um, that is, what time does that tell us, is that 3 to 445, to 445, yes. 3 o'clock to 445 on Thursday at Education Day. That'll be awesome. If you want to see that, what that's going to be like, we have last year's talk up as a free class on autoappearanceinstitute.
com. Just hop on, go to courses, and look up Shop Owner's Roundtable, and you can see what our discussion was last year. We're going to make this discussion. Uh, different than the last discussion, uh, new questions. If you have something you want to know, something you want to learn, something you want to hear us talk about, send us an email or direct message us, uh, here.
And we will put that on the list with the group to take to the round table. And I think check, check, check, check. Yes, that's it. I do have one more thing. I know it's Dylann's that guy, like, [00:37:00] like we can get out of here. You ready? Oh no. Somebody has a question. No, I have one more thing and it's probably going to take like 10 minutes.
No, just kidding. Um, no, I wanted to kind of promote one of our, I mean, we're end of the year. We're in our last couple episodes of 2024. We are, this is crazy. We're 14 episodes and we've been doing this for three months. Yep. How do you feel? I'm excited. I'm really, I'm really happy. To be behind the mic again, uh, and podcasting.
Um, I love doing the shows with you when we can get together and do these and we can banter back and forth is fun. Um, and I really liked that. It's not the same show. It's not the same. M O every week, right? It's, it's whatever I want to do. Like it's just making it my show, having a blast with it. Uh, we will be on radio row at MTE.
Uh, Kevin Bird said I was getting a spot. We were getting a spot. So Kevin bird better have that spot on radio row. [00:38:00] Uh, so I've never done that before. I was on the dent reaper or the dents and dreams podcast last year. Then we talked a little bit, but I don't really know how radio row works, but I am stoked to be on radio row and podcasting there.
Uh, no, I'm super excited to be back behind the mic. This is, uh, this is cool. I really enjoy it. It's been a lot of fun and we have a couple of exciting episodes left for 2024 before we kick off the 2025 season. Whole new year. And I'm sure we're going to do something special running up to leading up to MTE.
So keep an eye out on that. Speaking of podcasts, if you're enjoying this, please go to Apple podcasts, go to Amazon, go to Spotify, wherever you're getting your podcasts at. And leave us a review, let us know how we're doing that also helps more people discover the show. Right? And that's why we do it. It's for you guys to listen.
I don't like to just talk to myself. I mean, I do, but not on a microphone. That's just a conversation for me, myself and [00:39:00] I in the shop while we're working on cars. Right. And if you're feeling a little extra cheeky, you could, uh, put our name in for the golden mic awards for MTE. Oh, there you go. Yeah. Dylann said, I don't know if we're going to vote for us.
