The Goodest Cast - Hangout with the Drift Community

Julian Jacobs and Ryan Kado have been pushing themselves within the sport and the sport itself for well over two decades. It’s always been for the love of driving hard, building cars that push the limits of cool, and doing it all with a smile. Sitting down and recapping all the insane experiences they have had all because of their love for drifting is nothing but humbling. These two have always been about driving hard, putting on a show, and sharing the energy they love about drifting with as many people as they can. That’s what Super D is all about. With Animal Style now reaching fifteen years, they are still finding ways to keep pushing the teams driving and impact on the sport. I am lucky to call these two friends and to have shared some of the incredible ride with them.  Guests: https://www.instagram.com/ryankado/https://www.instagram.com/animaljuju/Sponsors: https://goodest.short.gy/303protect for the best car protectant you can buyhttps://koruworks.com/ 15% off their Koru products using “goodestboi”https://tirestreets.com/goodest “goodest" for a discount on the whole site!https://goodest.short.gy/tweed_auto_garage To export parts, cars, or anything on the Japan sidehttps://www.instagram.com/golden_era_engine_lab/Goodest Co: https://goodestco.com (grab some merch to support the podcast!)Patreon: https://patreon.com/Goodestcast Get episodes, merch, and announcements early!Host IG: https://www.instagram.com/palmer_sndrsn/Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/goodestcast/

In this episode, we sit down with the one and only Hertrech Eugene Jr. better known as Hert to trace the chaotic, hilarious, and deeply personal journey that brought him from crashing his Honda Accord in Orlando to helping build the Hoonigan legacy. From doing donuts in construction lots to faking it ‘til he made it, Hert shares the stories behind the crashes, the cars, the friends, and the passion that shaped his path in drifting and media. Hert is a real one and he didn’t get to where he is now by just luck. If you’ve ever wondered how Hert got here, this is the episodeMerch Drop Here: https://goodestco.com/ Only running until the presale ends or they sell out.Guest: https://www.instagram.com/hertlife/Sponsors: https://www.chasebays.com/ “goodestcast” for 5% so you can transfer fluid like a pro303 Car Care for the best car car products you can buyhttps://koruworks.com/ 15% off their Koru products using “goodestboi”https://tirestreets.com/goodest goodest" for 15% off Accelera 651s & 351s click the link for 10% off the rest and enter "goodest10"Patreon: https://patreon.com/Goodestcast Get episodes, merch, and announcements early!Host IG: https://www.instagram.com/palmer_sndrsn/Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/goodestcast/
