What an experience. I have had those all my life and will continue to. But not like that. Something to all ways remember, in a good way.

Cool that they left it in, cooler that Goldberg knew the facts and called him out on it! Haha
And I agree, Speedy didn’t get enough TV time. Maybe I’m biased.
And also, the editing didn’t help me like the other people any more than their entry videos.

Everyone was actually super cool TBH. Some were obviously more die hard Dodge than others, but they did just throw a bunch of stuff at us.

Yeah, I guess whoever did the editing just got it off my YT submission where I talked about Orange Krush. We were never asked about any of that other than an email asking what we did for a living, which in the end the info I provided wasn't used there either LOL.

Yep first episode is out, so now I can share a few things.

Not AT ALL what I was expecting. I thought it'd be an interview, some on screen tests to see how you did like at an event or something, and a driving skills test with a little training to see how quick you'd pick it up. NOPE.

My first clue was getting an email from a "producer" with "wardrobe instructions". Oh boy.

Next, was being taken straight from the airport to the racing school which had been turned in to a giant TV set, lights, cameras, boom mics, all over the place. Probably 100 person production crew. Straight to wardrobe where I was asked to take all my clothes out so a stylist could pick out what I'd be wearing each day. At least we got to wear our own clothes, but no logos or anything which was hard since all my stuff has logos LOL.

That 11:27 video took us 16 HOURS of time on set. Brutal.

For that interview with Goldberg, we had no idea what it was. A director's assistant would come get us, take us one by one to a door and the director would say when I say action, just walk in. No other information was provided. I had a guess it would be Goldberg, but no clue it was a set like that. Once we finished those of us that had completed that were separated from those that hadn't.
Looking good, talking strong. You got this.

I was glad to see goldburg even knew his stuff about Dodge. It was fun to watch. Not at all what I thought the interview would be like. I don't think it is bad you didn't get a ton of screen time on this one. Seemed to be the mistakes made the camera. But I was really curious to see what you said about the electric question since you told us you'd be honest :ROFLMAO: My guess your answer didn't fit the agenda if they didn't show it.

IT professional? I thought you were a project manager for some reason.

I basically said they had a big hill to climb on the EV muscle car thing and that they'd better be careful after being all about the "brotherhood of muscle" for so long. It was more than that but that was the gist. He nodded in agreement.

I was asked on three occasions about my thoughts on the EV program.

Good on you Speedy for being as honest with them as you could given the situation you were in about the whole EV charade! I'd bet a beer or three that Goldberg isn't no fan either - it's like the elephant in the room that most true gearheads would love to really tell it like it is - that we don't want this crap shoved down our throats, but then political correctness takes over and self-preservation kicks in. Whether or not you get the gig, you clearly are the best choice IMO and we are happy for you. Thanks for sharing this cool experience with us.

Best of luck Speedy!

If one of the "secret" criterion is positive contributions to the car enthusiasts' community, you definitely should win big on that one!

Agree. agree, agree. Go Speedy go. Nuttberg is snot leading the charge. A cooperate nuster is but Berg is good on tv. Like I mentioned, I have met him and his personality is well? But reads well and seems to be a descedent spokes person. Was fer WWE, A, EIO, whatever. Said Shenia.

My kids are already looking forward to EP2!
You just picked up 2 little fans. They’re also gearheads.

Speedy that is no surprise they would ask several times about their direction towards EV. That is a market they claim is large, and viable. Also they appear to be hedging a lot of capital investment towards. All of this remains up in the air in my eyes. Personally I am not ready for it. This is a critical time for a lot of auto makers to appeal to the target base they seek with their version of EV to stand out against the competitor. About the only thing they have going for them is there is not any muscle car electrics out there, except the electric Furd Discustang with the only muscle in the name. So I think this is is why they are fast tracking this electric muscle because they own the American muscle as we know it, and want to hold on to it. The big problem is will the muscle car enthusiast be attracted to it. Judging by responses here indicate your right about a big hill to climb.
keep the representation strong, looking forward to the 2nd installment flick.
