Two Guys Garage Podcast

Ever wonder what makes a painter a "game changer"? Kevin and Willie sit down with one on this episode. Jeremy Winters (aka "That Jeremy Fella") is a painter whose career spans from helping his mom paint crafts, to collision repair painting, to saving reality TV show deadlines. Learn about his journey, the meticulous process behind a perfect paint job, and how he uses his skills to transform vehicles and inspire the DIY community.

Think a brake upgrade is just a onesie-twosie parts swap? Think again. Kevin, Willie, and Wilwood Engineering’s Mike Hamrick explain why 1,000 horsepower means nothing if your stopping power isn't balanced. From explaining brake pad compounds using sandpaper analogies to detailing the critical heat-cycling process of bedding in your rotors, this episode covers the exact details you need to handle extreme heat, manage rolling mass, and match your brake system to your high-performance goals.

Kevin and Willie explore the evolution and common issues of automotive fuel systems with Kyle Fischer from Hot Shot's Secret, who reveals why this "forgotten maintenance item" is often the culprit behind sluggish performance. The trio examine how poor fuel from your local pump effects the overall fuel system, and how the company’s advanced gasoline additive “Gasoline Extreme” combats carbon deposits and provides vital lubrication for modern engines, restoring that performance and lost fuel economy.

This week, Kevin and Willie talk shop with Quantum Tools president Steve Argo about the fundamental mechanics of torque, how bolts actually handle stress, and how fastening technology has changed over the years. They also break down Quantum’s new approach to torque wrench design, one that bridges the gap between old-school reliability and modern tech. The tool pairs a traditional mechanical clicker with a digital gyro, giving technicians and weekend wrench-turners both the speed of a manual wrench and the precise angle tracking of a digital system.

The guys welcome Geoff Gerko of Mantic Clutch USA back to the podcast to discuss his lifelong love of manual transmissions and building clutches for 2500 ft-lbs of torque. Along the way, he unveils his impending rebrand to Gerko’s Custom Clutches, discusses how superior materials and modular design lead to unmatched performance, and offers a glimpse into the future of high-performance clutch technology.
