Agreed - I made it about 2 minutes in before I got sick of hearing it.
I think I made it about 3 minutes, it's a channel definitely aimed at the bro crowd. After I heard their dialogue it was too late to watch it on mute.

I just laugh through it. It's funny and it's not every day that you find young guys who know how to use their hands. Body work is exhausting. Takes a certain kind of guy to do that every day.

WHAT IS UP GUYS!

Long time Goonz sub here. It's not for everybody. The reason I watch is because they just do it; they jump into every build with both feet. I don't talk like them, I can't match their energy, and I probably have a more fundamental understanding of automotive engineering and repair than they do...but they do it. They do it with passion and honesty. They make mistakes and they'll show it. They'll admit they don't know and they'll try anyway. Watching their skills improve has been really enjoyable- body work and paint; the kit car; welding; interior; electrical; wraps; engine swaps...
Their channel started out with Jeep builds, they grew first with high power modern domestic muscle and lately it's been a lot of import work.

I also appreciate the guys they work with- vTuned is an artist, literally. He's so good. They use local shops for radiator repair and other technical repair skills.

It's good stuff. Highly recommended...just take their personalities with a grain of salt to start. They're clearly good (young) dudes. Once they grow on you, I'm sure you'll appreciate the inherent humor they bring.

They are kind of morons at times but they strip the JT down pretty far and so it's interesting to what's under it all.

I might try to watch it again... I had to turn it off after maybe 2 minutes if I do it will be volume off and ready to fast forward.

Their bro personalities are actually just that, a fake personality they put on for Youtube to appeal to the automotive bro crowd. They're actually Ukrainian immigrants (or the children of immigrants) and "Billy" is just a redneck personality they put on and not his real name.

I'm not hating on them. I've watched all of their builds and they're super detailed and informative. They do some great work for two guys in a home garage. Their personalities just add a bit of flair which I understand isn't for everyone.

I think you are being nice. If it is a 100% act, they need an Oscar for it. I get hamming for the camera and over amplifying for Youtube videos, but they seem to stay in character to a certain degree that makes me think their "Bro" personality is pretty much them in real life.

Anyways, their last video shows them getting in a 4.5" lift kit and probably their next video is going to show them installing it. Should be interesting as they seem to be struggling trying to figure out why their 4x4 service caution is flashing and 4x4 does not work.

So broken down individually, what would it cost to add all the upgraded parts these guys have thrown on? It is looking amazing after episode 15.
