SO, first off thanks for all the support from everyone here. Had it not been for you guys I'd not have even made a video. No joke.
YES I had a LOT of fun. The first filming day was pretty brutal, very long, the interview was kinda weird and TVish, but the 2nd day I really had fun. The green screen thing was right up my alley since I've done a fair share of announcing at ChallengerFest each year. I literally let it rip and the actual filming went on for I'm guessing 5-7 minutes so I was surprised to only see a few seconds in the final edit. I'm not trying to toot my own horn too much here but I literally dropped the mic after that green screen shoot. Goldberg looked at me and said "awesome freaking job man!" as I walked off set and all the producers and directors cheered as I walked back to the green room and several of the crew gave me high fives as well. I was feeling pretty good about the performance. F
From there I literally went straight outside and did a few laps in a RE with Matt Hagan. I'm surprised none of the driving was shown in that second episode. It started with a burnout, which I let it eat LOL and released the line lock in like mid of 4th gear I believe. When I saw the smoke start to come around the front of the car I figured that was good or else the film crew couldn't see us.
Then the laps I started off slow just making a sighting lap like you'd expect, and gradually got faster each lap. By the 3rd lap I was getting after it pretty good and had the back end slide around a bit and I think it scared Matt LOL. He said "hey man they're not timing us" and I replied "telling me to slow down is like telling you to" and he got a big kick out of that.
It was a very neat experience although all that time and filming for just the few minutes for a webisode seems odd. I was told the original budget was quite a bit bigger for all this and I guess Stellantis cut it, so maybe this was originally gonna be on MotorTrend and due to funding had to be online only.
The Dodge people seemed legitimately interested in the enthusiasts. I'm guessing this just has some kind of campaign behind it and if you look at the top 5 I was older than everyone by 15 or 20 years. They have Goldberg for that demographic if I'm being honest with myself there. Now I get to watch the final with you guys to see who wins. I have my favorite but will reserve that until we all know.
Katie did approach me in wardrobe and asked if she could get me in contact with her people about being a guest or host on a show, so maybe you'll see me out there somewhere one of these days.
