SRC and Old mans Garage helped get me through some very hard times laying in the hospital and gave me something to forward to when there wasn't much else. Thank You Bill and Billy !
I started watching and following their channels when I was recovering from 21 hours of surgery for cancer that I wasn't supposed to survive. Praise God that I am still here and was here to hold my youngest grandchild at the hospital. Great videos from a wonderful family. Listening to this podcast and being from NE Ohio I remember my first cars. Being a Ford guy and street muscle cars being my passion. I have owned six mustangs but I am a Fairlane/Torino guy mostly because of my love for big Ford mills. The drag racing at Norwalk and 42 and of course on the street are memories I will carry till I leave this planet.
@kennethchapman9564 Torino's are one of my favorite cars ! I started following them after my 1st time in Mayo and it helped me get through being there 18 more times and being life flighted there 3 times. I really don't understand why I was so interested in their videos I live in a state with absolutely no drag racing. But I think I was seeing the family working twords a common goal that sold me?
For a lot of us who didn't grow up with a present father figure, Bill fills that void very well... Lot of people have a lot of love for him because of that, including myself.
Bill is a true genuine person.. I’m sure I’m not the only one but the raw take and background was nice. The fact he’s so down to earth and honest. A regular person the rest of us can relate with.
I drove from Texas to Ohio to meet this family and watch them race. They were so nice! Unfortunately race rained out 3 hours after we got there but it was well worth the trip!
I've been a pastor for 25 years and we are responsible for what we say but not for how others react. We cannot control all the variables around us and sometimes people create their own drama but it is usually due to ignorance or arrogance and not the substance of the situation. Thinking back to the windows being tinted, or people assuming we are some overtly extroverted person. People are still people, life is still life, and things happened. Thank God for His grace.
You hit the nail on the head when you said that Bill is an excellent storyteller. I watched since he started his channel and that’s exactly what I told everyone who I showed his channel to. “Best storyteller on UA-cam “ brings us older people back to when we were younger and sitting around the old country stores listening to stories
Tommy really helped src with his talent of video and editing.. but imong time fan and you both hit it on the head its about the people and the family i love anymore... Love you guys tin soldiers included....
I met Bill and Vickie at PRI several shows ago. They are the most nice and honest people. I am their senior by over 20 years and they still tolerated me being so excited to meet them. Because of them and families videos I found and purchased a 78 Monte Carlo and I am building a 88 C4 drag and drive car only using Market place parts. I plan on doing a video on it all because of you and OMG. Keep up the great content and sharing.
I'd have to say this channel and the hoskinson family really renewed my love for cars and life. As someone who loved cars in my younger days but now a family man with a business. These videos really helped get back to enjoying the cars and trucks we own and share knowledge and wisdom to others.
52 yr old welder in U.K.Absolutely no racing history. But this channel’s are my escape to USA. It was SRC and Old Man’s Garage i first found. The Tin Racing. Bill you need to give yourself a big pat on the back fella. Anyway you are all a great bunch of people. 👍🏻🇬🇧
WHAT A GREAT INTERVIEW, WOW!!! I'm definitely a fan of Bill and really enjoyed the interview but not only that, the professionalism behind you guys was Exquisite you guys did a great job in every aspect you really killed it great job guys thanks for doing it
Hey Bill! I have watched your show from the very first episode. I am an 80 year old that loves the old school approach. You have accomplished full fold. I totally understand the privacy issue. The problem the people think they know you through your video’s! Don’t change a thing it’s perfect just the way it is. Keep it up my friend.
This is the best one on one podcast of the year! Thank you Bill for finding the courage to face your demons and sitting down with JT. Please have another sit down soon I could listen to a 4 hour show and learn so much. Thank you!
I had a good comments "conversation", or exchange with Bill during a tough time. He told me "it sucks that we have to be a father and a psychologist at the same time". I'm so happy it worked out. I knew it would if a supportive role was taken! You've done amazing Bill!
Fellow introvert here, I totally understand Bill. There are people that probably think I'm mean and distant. All I'm tiring to do not keep it together. I see the same thing in my oldest boy and it kills me inside. love both of the channels you're both doing more good than you know. Thanks
When i first started watching SRC i really didn't care for bill but after awhile i seen how much he cares about his sons and what they are doing... now i admire bill for always being there for his kids grumpy and mean and all...im a little bet older than bill and have grown hard headed kids so i understand the being grumpy, sometimes mean part because sometimes you have to to get your point across.
Im Bills age and i was the PITA rebellious kid that drove my dad crazy and wanting to break my neck regularly😂, seeing the good and bad side videos of Bill early on i never looked negatively towards him because its always 3 sides to every story and sometimes people only video the side affects of their actions vs throwing the whole story. All thats in the past and families move on past that and grow into productive families as Billy/Molly has and i wish them all well
I would like to get Billy and Tommy's opinion about how Bill taught them how to make good content without doing street racing and shop stuff. Cause I'm not so sure I believe it I believe Billy and Tommy showed Bill the ropes about vid E o content ...
Watched the complete pod cast and enjoyed it very much. When we watch all the videos it makes us feel like part of the family and I think that's why people come up to you guys all the time we feel like we know you from hanging out and watching your videos we feel like we are there kept up all the great work and thank you guys
🎉 absolutely great forecast one of the best I’ve seen on partial I like the old man he’s grumpy but when you get to know him, he’s a cool dude just have to learn where to talk to him. He has a great family specially Miss Vicki she’s a sweetheart. God bless both your families and keep up the good work thank you
Bill is such a great person. I hate that he's having a rough time finding where everything is going. Bill just be you and the people will see you for you and learn that sometimes you just need a little space. You will make time but let you make the time when it suits your mood.
I watched SRC for a long time since the early days. Was interested in Bill because he was so knowledgeable about carburetors actually. Because these guys are willing to do whatever it takes to be successful and I take pride in that my self
Keep doing what you’re doing Bill. Don’t let it weigh on you too heavy, sometimes people have unrealistic expectations of their peers and even heroes. We love your content, your insight and your family. Hope you continue to do what you love and thanks for letting us be a part of it. 💪🏻
Bill, I might be speaking for a small part of your subscribers and fans but when we’re watching your and Billy’s videos it feels like we’re part of your family, there are people that look at you guys as a famous figure but there’s some of us that have learned more of the sport or how to make the cars faster and you guys share a passion with us that some of us don’t get to share with our fathers, brothers, or sisters. Just know some of us look at you guys as the family we don’t have yall do more good then you probably think you do! Appreciation from Hershey pa ❤
Bill, you’re a very down to earth guy from what I see in all the videos. At the end of the day family comes first and that’s what your about. From where you started to now, you deserve all the fortune that comes your way. You’ve paid your dues and now you deserve to do what makes you happy. Whether you see it or not, you can tell in some of Billy‘s videos that he really does appreciate what you have done for him. He doesn’t seem to be the type of guy to say it in so many words but personally, I see it just keep doing what you do. Myself and apparently many others enjoy the whole deal that you and the boys have been putting together. Thank you.
Bill, I'm 43 and lost my pops in 2021.. Watching your videos is the only thing that brings me to a calm place.. You and my father are a lot alike, and your voice of reason and wisdom is so important to me and I'm sure many many others..!! Thanks Bill..!! You are an amazing man, and even better father..
you and your family are people I'd like to meet, not because I idolize you guys in any way but because in watching Billy and then the growth into multiple channels as an audience we feel connected. you show things like the loss of family and the tug of war between generations which we all deal with. I grew up hanging out with my granpaw and uncle helping them in the shop and watching them interact and learning in my opinion how to be a man. these where some of the best times in my life. my grandfather has past and i miss him every day and I really dont have a relationship with my uncle anymore which sucks too. Watching you guys reminds me of those times and reassures me that no matter what the msm says there are still good down to earth people with values like I was taught. I love the cars but you all are what keeps people coming back
Been a fan of OMG since day one and am also a fan of Tin Soldiers! I think you guys hit the nail on the head with humanizing all of you guys. Love Bills story, definitely want to hear more of the backstory, the stories, the humanizing part of OMG, etc!!! Appreciate you guys doing this. Will be looking for the next episodes
I always knew Bill didn't have a lot of money and worked his butt off, but this put it more in perspective. Im happy Bill was there with Billy street racing because Billy was gonna do it with or without him. By being there and helping, he could better ensure his son was safe. I love SRC and OMG and would love to just have a conversation with Bill. I grew up in a similar way. No money, but making the most of what you got. I had to BUILD the truck i drove to high school. I learned a lot about turning wrenches and about life in general. Great interview. Thank you.
This just really brought me closer to Mr. Bill makes me think of my dad and the things we’ve been through and how much of a man and dad that my father is and has been I love SRC and Old Man’s Garage
Idk which is the best part. Bill talking from the heart or Jason filling the time it took for Bill to regain his composier. What a terrific pod cast. God bless🙏🙏🙏🙏
WELL BILL THIS IS THE LONGEST I HAVE EVER SAT DOWN AND WATCHED ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS, AND I REALLY ENJOYED IT , I LOST MY FATHER AT 22 YEARS OLD SO I DIDN'T GET TO SPEND THAT QUALITY TIME WITH HIM, AND YOUR IN YOUR 50s SO ENJOY THE TIME YOU HAVE WITH THEM AND THE BABY , YOUR GRANDSON CANT WAIT TO SEE ANOTHER VIDEO
Hey Bill and Jason. Great Podcast....Bill i see where your coming from where the fame of you tube can be stressful. It's like being a Rock Star and when your off the stage you wanna be a every day person and it's hard to do.Fame can be awesome but very stressful. I hope people that watch this video can understand where your coming from and kinda approach you in a different way,Keep up the great work Bill.....Jason you inspired me at my age of 59.I never thought i could learn something from a young buck but the way you speak at the races you at at has brought me closer to the man above and i look at life different these days,I talk at my group meetings i go to on how you inspired me to love my self and love the man above that much more. Take care guys and look forward to a part 2 some day........Billy loving life from Ct
Bill when we met you in Brockport, NY my husband and I connected with you. Being around the same age and just talking about things we both were going through with our kids. You and all your family were lovely ❤
I'm 50yeaars old and you taught me alot about boosted engines and the simplest way to get in to the boosted SBC side of high horsepower street vehicles. And I Thank you Building a LSX 427CI 94SS s10 now fuel injectied fuel tech ft600 system. It all started with you and Billy my youngest son is 26years old will be 27years old on his birthday my oldest son is 32 years old and my Daughter is 17yearsold.
Bill, you are the ultimate figure of what being a father is and means hands down. You tamed the wild and now have the family and life a majority of us wish we all could have. Not much else can be said on that in my book. Thank you all for your generosity and openness.
So many things I could comment on but then it’ll be paragraphs long.. but one thing I’ll comment on is a saying I’ve heard long ago and experience it quite a few times… > Everyone wants to see you “do good” as long as it’s not better then them. Awesome episode 🤜🏼🤛🏼
I can relate to their lifestyle because im from and work in ohio and in some of their same areas. Thats what brought me in and has kept me. Its the lil guys doing big things and making it. Watching his boys win or lose brings out emotions that other activities or other people would or could. Now that my kids are grown and out of house. Its just me and the pet child. So they motivate me to get out and do something other than work and home and staying planted in that rut spinning my tires. Bill, Billy brought me in for the entertainment. But youve brought me in for the lesson. I had a new cobra mustang, an 04. Had it like a week and went and brought home a new N20 system for it. The fight started he was like that car isnt fast enough that you have to ruin by running nitrous. It split us apart for years. Things happened for the worst with me. Didnt have his opinions or advice or even scoldings. Because i thought in my mind that he was jealous of what i was doing. And not that lllwas concerned for my safety and well being. Hes the reason im into cars, the reason that seperated us, and finally the reasons that brought us back together as a family. Only regrets are the time lost that you can never get back. Thanks Bill and Jason. Oh, Bill do you have one of those controllers still laying around. We are so much alike its bizarre. Your from the south and im from the northern part of the same state. I have 2 bedrooms full of Large scale rc and slots. Way way too much invested but thats what i invest in. My reasoning, but investments are for future endeavors. my family says ill never part with it. And they wouldnt know the value of it. My now being 55 and irish twin grandsons that are 1½ and one thats 9 months old. Now I, as well as them know thatbsomeone had a plan for my madness when we sure didnt. If i had family or friends that were like them. Id be out there with them. Love you guys youre my long distance extended family. We just havent met. ive been at the camp at events. But i dont envade on their privacy or their their program. Because i dont want to be that one. But hearing bill now, gives me a few ideas on how we can meet when those times happen. Bill you are therapy to alot of people that watch. That had or long to have the things your family shares. Thats the Blessings. Thanks Again Jason and The Old Man
I love this so much. Bill, you're the man. I love your commitment to your family above all, blood and extended..... stay true to yourself. SRC, OGM, AND G2G are my absolute watch channels.
What attracts people with the Hoskinson’s is that they are just real people Unapologetically ! We can all relate to what they’re doing ! Its evident in this podcast you can see Bill is a Dad who loves his family and just wants to do what his family loves and support themselves doing it , we can all relate to that. Bill just remember you dont have to be perfect we are all flawed ! Just be you !
Thank You Tin Soldiers & Bill your story is so relatable to so many of us. Your family is what makes it so interesting the Highs and Lows the way you try to help others grow in the sport everything thank you . I look forward to all your content.
I don't know what to say. BUT WOW!! Thanks Bill for putting your life out there for everyone to see and it makes us fill like we are part of your Family.
You guys are right, we came for content and we stayed for y’all. The shop videos I enjoy as much as racing. I hope to see a part 2 with bill. I’d like to hear how he became the carburetor whisperer as Tommy said once. All self taught, did he have a zen master? Jason as always I think you’re also excellent at this as well. I always enjoy these and look forward to these as much as shop/racing/MM videos.
This is my first time watching a podcast with you guys and this was awesome. I'll be going and watching all of them and look forward to many more! Great job
Bill is a great story teller. Love your content, along with OMG, SRC and Gen2. I appreciate all of you. Keep up the great work all. Stay safe all, God Bless.
I hope this comment gets read. By the old man. Bill i saw the struggle between you and Billy and how far yall have come as a family. Bill you yourself are a great person. I'm sorry to hear that you struggle. I'm introvert myself. But for what your doing . Thank you. So whenever your down bud. Just smile man. So thank you for all your efforts and support of the drag racing community. And your determination and dedication. Thank you for your view on family values. I hope when I get older as I'm 34 now and a father myself. I had to step away from drag racing. To raise my daughter. So watching your family and you. I feel connected to racing still. And I Thank you. I hope this message reaches out to you. And I hope it might help you on a bad day. But truly thank you bill.
Hell yeah man, awesome stuff!! I am a subscriber to Bills channel and the kids too, but I really like Bills a lot, watchin him is like living a life I never got to live or will never get to live, for the fact that I love racing too.. keep up the good work, and that’s for everybody, 🤘🏻👏🏻🇺🇸
That was amazing when you said Westside Columbus. That’s why I used to go in the early 70s. I lived on the northside. They actually trailer in all kinds of cars back then. You would even see an occasional dragster
The reason people love bill and the whole family so much is because there doing living and supporting the American dream and there all deserving and great at what they do each of them are great people and work hard and awesome that why there a success
I can relate to you bill because you are who you are, you and your family have much respect from me, Me and my brother has raced all of our, definitely one of my favorites,keep grinding my brother
One of the best podcast yet and I like how Ricky was able to relate lil Wayne to bill and put that into prospective of being famous and needing your space!
Probably the best one yet. Think Bill is spot on that many of us view their channels as TV now because of that family feel that you just don’t see these days. We all have our struggles and vices but can all relate to a family trying to survive to do the things they love doing. Just hard working folks trying to give their kids something more than they had.
Thank you, Jason, and the whole Tin Soldier team. Great great podcast really hit to the heart. Bill/old man garage is an awesome channel as well. I would like to see more down to earth videos of reality. I'm speechless right now no work can explain this video. I also have a UA-cam channel that I am starting/started to cover drag racing and DYI car stuff. Just an no drama car guy, Sunday bracket racer from Michigan. Keep the Monday videos coming your word help motivate a lot of people. Personally, for me makes me think more on life and my family. Thank You Tin Soldier/Jason.
What a great interview. Bill is just a good olé midwestern farm boy like a lot of us. He has done a lot of good and you can tell he is much happier now. He and Billy have grown a empire and it will keep growing due to them being genuine and normal. My only wish for him and Vicki is to get on a life style change and drop some weight. It is not a diet diets don`t work per say and I am saying this out of love not hate. Everyone out there is capable of getting thinner and healthier and it is not that hard and does nor require a ton of exercise at all. I`m 20 yrs older then Bill and I dropped 60 pounds about 2 yrs ago and I feel sooo much better now. Corn syrup and sugar and enriched bleached flour are the devil and it has made sooo many of us fat and have health issues. All you have to do is reduce your sugar intake by 70% and make sure you have the proper minerals and nutrients. Fast food is pure trash made by the government and big Pharma. And the first 20 lbs. will go in about 3 months. Trust me the older you get it is so much harder to get around to sleep to live in general!!. And it is no fun wearing out you knees and back and be reliant on meds and having no energy. Just a though for them to get heathier for Wyatt to watch him grow up. Peace and love to all. Oh you MUST get Uncle Bucko on for sure!! That will be an awesome vid cast. Thanks Jason.
Wow thanks to Tin soldier for having you on the podcast and thank youBill I really enjoyed listening to you and I could have sat here for two more hours God bless you and your family can't wait to watch a hold lot more videos from you
Guys, you are being too hard on yourselves. I appreciate the conversation and your candor. The love of cars is the basis for your success, and UA-cam is showing us what you go thru. I'm not always understanding but I am trying to. Keep up the good work love the content.
THE BEST Tin Soldier pod cast to date. Thanks so much for this. I hope there is a part two. This was FANTASTIC.
Agreed
I 3rd that
Definitely
Get Jeff on for one I really want to know his life story. Bill this was amazing
Same here
JEFAFAFAFA!!!!!!
I agree
I agree
💯
SRC and Old mans Garage helped get me through some very hard times laying in the hospital and gave me something to forward to when there wasn't much else. Thank You Bill and Billy !
Me too,but don't thank them and tell them that,they will mute you like they did me

A chat with bill should be a monthley series . Could sit and watch it for years
For a lot of us who didn't grow up with a present father figure, Bill fills that void very well... Lot of people have a lot of love for him because of that, including myself.
You need to get Miss Vicki on now and here her take on everything !!
Great idea!
I think Miss Vicki needs to do a Christmas Cookie episode too.
I'd watch.
Bill is a true genuine person.. I’m sure I’m not the only one but the raw take and background was nice. The fact he’s so down to earth and honest. A regular person the rest of us can relate with.

What a great podcast and interview! Thank you guys! I’d love to see and hear more for sure!
Amen!

Longer ain’t always bad, probably my my favorite podcast episode yet
This is the interview I never knew I needed. Absolutely loved it. Thanks to all for sitting down, and getting this done.
Bill is a regular normal guy. Thats why I and other people like him. And he tells the truth!
And he never sold out , he just kept being himself never doing click bait or scripted nonsense, and always seems humble
Tommy really helped src with his talent of video and editing.. but imong time fan and you both hit it on the head its about the people and the family i love anymore... Love you guys tin soldiers included....
I met Bill and Vickie at PRI several shows ago. They are the most nice and honest people. I am their senior by over 20 years and they still tolerated me being so excited to meet them. Because of them and families videos I found and purchased a 78 Monte Carlo and I am building a 88 C4 drag and drive car only using Market place parts. I plan on doing a video on it all because of you and OMG. Keep up the great content and sharing.
Bill is a great guy. Been following him since the beginning of his channel!!
Same
Proof that the American dream is alive and well. God bless Bill and his family and the Tin Soldier race car family.
I'd have to say this channel and the hoskinson family really renewed my love for cars and life. As someone who loved cars in my younger days but now a family man with a business. These videos really helped get back to enjoying the cars and trucks we own and share knowledge and wisdom to others.
Always great to see a sit down with Bill, and to tell the stories of the past. Great listening for 2 hours!
I could listen to this all day
Man bill and his family are awesome. Wish I had friends like that around here . Real down to earth genuine people .
52 yr old welder in U.K.Absolutely no racing history. But this channel’s are my escape to USA. It was SRC and Old Man’s Garage i first found. The Tin Racing. Bill you need to give yourself a big pat on the back fella. Anyway you are all a great bunch of people. 👍🏻🇬🇧

Bill, I'm 43 and lost my pops in 2021.. Watching your videos is the only thing that brings me to a calm place.. You and my father are a lot alike, and your voice of reason and wisdom is so important to me and I'm sure many many others..!! Thanks Bill..!! You are an amazing man, and even better father..
mines been gone since 2014, it will get better. I agree 1000% that the videos are cathartic
This interview will do big numbers. Everyone loves the old man.
you and your family are people I'd like to meet, not because I idolize you guys in any way but because in watching Billy and then the growth into multiple channels as an audience we feel connected. you show things like the loss of family and the tug of war between generations which we all deal with. I grew up hanging out with my granpaw and uncle helping them in the shop and watching them interact and learning in my opinion how to be a man. these where some of the best times in my life. my grandfather has past and i miss him every day and I really dont have a relationship with my uncle anymore which sucks too. Watching you guys reminds me of those times and reassures me that no matter what the msm says there are still good down to earth people with values like I was taught. I love the cars but you all are what keeps people coming back
It's better than any TV show! It's that "True street talk "🤙.
Been a fan of OMG since day one and am also a fan of Tin Soldiers! I think you guys hit the nail on the head with humanizing all of you guys. Love Bills story, definitely want to hear more of the backstory, the stories, the humanizing part of OMG, etc!!! Appreciate you guys doing this. Will be looking for the next episodes
I always knew Bill didn't have a lot of money and worked his butt off, but this put it more in perspective. Im happy Bill was there with Billy street racing because Billy was gonna do it with or without him. By being there and helping, he could better ensure his son was safe. I love SRC and OMG and would love to just have a conversation with Bill. I grew up in a similar way. No money, but making the most of what you got. I had to BUILD the truck i drove to high school. I learned a lot about turning wrenches and about life in general. Great interview. Thank you.
Thx Jason for having bill on
Honestly probably one of my favorite interviews you’ve done.. thanks
This just really brought me closer to Mr. Bill makes me think of my dad and the things we’ve been through and how much of a man and dad that my father is and has been I love SRC and Old Man’s Garage
I really appreciate seeing this side of you bill.
Idk which is the best part. Bill talking from the heart or Jason filling the time it took for Bill to regain his composier. What a terrific pod cast. God bless🙏🙏🙏🙏
WELL BILL THIS IS THE LONGEST I HAVE EVER SAT DOWN AND WATCHED ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS, AND I REALLY ENJOYED IT , I LOST MY FATHER AT 22 YEARS OLD SO I DIDN'T GET TO SPEND THAT QUALITY TIME WITH HIM, AND YOUR IN YOUR 50s SO ENJOY THE TIME YOU HAVE WITH THEM AND THE BABY , YOUR GRANDSON CANT WAIT TO SEE ANOTHER VIDEO
Hey Bill and Jason. Great Podcast....Bill i see where your coming from where the fame of you tube can be stressful. It's like being a Rock Star and when your off the stage you wanna be a every day person and it's hard to do.Fame can be awesome but very stressful. I hope people that watch this video can understand where your coming from and kinda approach you in a different way,Keep up the great work Bill.....Jason you inspired me at my age of 59.I never thought i could learn something from a young buck but the way you speak at the races you at at has brought me closer to the man above and i look at life different these days,I talk at my group meetings i go to on how you inspired me to love my self and love the man above that much more. Take care guys and look forward to a part 2 some day........Billy loving life from Ct
Bill when we met you in Brockport, NY my husband and I connected with you. Being around the same age and just talking about things we both were going through with our kids. You and all your family were lovely ❤
I'm 50yeaars old and you taught me alot about boosted engines and the simplest way to get in to the boosted SBC side of high horsepower street vehicles. And I Thank you Building a LSX 427CI 94SS s10 now fuel injectied fuel tech ft600 system. It all started with you and Billy my youngest son is 26years old will be 27years old on his birthday my oldest son is 32 years old and my Daughter is 17yearsold.
Bill, you are the ultimate figure of what being a father is and means hands down. You tamed the wild and now have the family and life a majority of us wish we all could have. Not much else can be said on that in my book. Thank you all for your generosity and openness.
So many things I could comment on but then it’ll be paragraphs long.. but one thing I’ll comment on is a saying I’ve heard long ago and experience it quite a few times… > Everyone wants to see you “do good” as long as it’s not better then them.
Awesome episode 🤜🏼🤛🏼
I can relate to their lifestyle because im from and work in ohio and in some of their same areas. Thats what brought me in and has kept me. Its the lil guys doing big things and making it. Watching his boys win or lose brings out emotions that other activities or other people would or could. Now that my kids are grown and out of house. Its just me and the pet child. So they motivate me to get out and do something other than work and home and staying planted in that rut spinning my tires. Bill, Billy brought me in for the entertainment. But youve brought me in for the lesson. I had a new cobra mustang, an 04. Had it like a week and went and brought home a new N20 system for it. The fight started he was like that car isnt fast enough that you have to ruin by running nitrous. It split us apart for years. Things happened for the worst with me. Didnt have his opinions or advice or even scoldings. Because i thought in my mind that he was jealous of what i was doing. And not that lllwas concerned for my safety and well being. Hes the reason im into cars, the reason that seperated us, and finally the reasons that brought us back together as a family. Only regrets are the time lost that you can never get back. Thanks Bill and Jason. Oh, Bill do you have one of those controllers still laying around. We are so much alike its bizarre. Your from the south and im from the northern part of the same state. I have 2 bedrooms full of Large scale rc and slots. Way way too much invested but thats what i invest in. My reasoning, but investments are for future endeavors. my family says ill never part with it. And they wouldnt know the value of it. My now being 55 and irish twin grandsons that are 1½ and one thats 9 months old. Now I, as well as them know thatbsomeone had a plan for my madness when we sure didnt. If i had family or friends that were like them. Id be out there with them. Love you guys youre my long distance extended family. We just havent met. ive been at the camp at events. But i dont envade on their privacy or their their program. Because i dont want to be that one. But hearing bill now, gives me a few ideas on how we can meet when those times happen. Bill you are therapy to alot of people that watch. That had or long to have the things your family shares. Thats the Blessings. Thanks Again Jason and The Old Man
I love this so much. Bill, you're the man. I love your commitment to your family above all, blood and extended..... stay true to yourself. SRC, OGM, AND G2G are my absolute watch channels.
What attracts people with the Hoskinson’s is that they are just real people Unapologetically ! We can all relate to what they’re doing ! Its evident in this podcast you can see Bill is a Dad who loves his family and just wants to do what his family loves and support themselves doing it , we can all relate to that. Bill just remember you dont have to be perfect we are all flawed ! Just be you !
Awesome podcast! Great insight 💪
Thank You Tin Soldiers & Bill your story is so relatable to so many of us. Your family is what makes it so interesting the Highs and Lows the way you try to help others grow in the sport everything thank you . I look forward to all your content.
Really liking this podcast!! Love to hear from Miss Vickey
I don't know what to say. BUT WOW!! Thanks Bill for putting your life out there for everyone to see and it makes us fill like we are part of your Family.
🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸THE OLD MANS GARAGE🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅 perfect timing!!!
100% one of the best podcasts to date. I follow The old man pretty regularly as one of my favorites.
That was awesome with you and Bill !!! Ty for sharing!
The only podcast I have watched all the way thru without jumping ahead great job 1:54:49
You guys are right, we came for content and we stayed for y’all. The shop videos I enjoy as much as racing. I hope to see a part 2 with bill. I’d like to hear how he became the carburetor whisperer as Tommy said once. All self taught, did he have a zen master? Jason as always I think you’re also excellent at this as well. I always enjoy these and look forward to these as much as shop/racing/MM videos.
My favorite vid from src was the one going to Texas with the voice over from the local pd , badass
Thank you Jason,Ricky this one was great! Hope bill knows we appreciate him and his family for what they do.
This is my first time watching a podcast with you guys and this was awesome. I'll be going and watching all of them and look forward to many more! Great job
Bill is a great story teller. Love your content, along with OMG, SRC and Gen2. I appreciate all of you. Keep up the great work all. Stay safe all, God Bless.
Thanks for the podcast! I enjoy both of your channels.
This is what people want, real talk with real folk!! Great job!!
Bill your a great person. We all are here to show your channel and Jason’s love. Awesome video.
Keep feeding off each! Makes you both better people!
Wow, one of your best one yet this was great. Keep up the great work.✌️👍✌️✌️
I hope this comment gets read. By the old man. Bill i saw the struggle between you and Billy and how far yall have come as a family. Bill you yourself are a great person. I'm sorry to hear that you struggle. I'm introvert myself. But for what your doing . Thank you. So whenever your down bud. Just smile man. So thank you for all your efforts and support of the drag racing community. And your determination and dedication. Thank you for your view on family values. I hope when I get older as I'm 34 now and a father myself. I had to step away from drag racing. To raise my daughter. So watching your family and you. I feel connected to racing still. And I Thank you. I hope this message reaches out to you. And I hope it might help you on a bad day. But truly thank you bill.
Hell yeah man, awesome stuff!! I am a subscriber to Bills channel and the kids too, but I really like Bills a lot, watchin him is like living a life I never got to live or will never get to live, for the fact that I love racing too.. keep up the good work, and that’s for everybody, 🤘🏻👏🏻🇺🇸
This was a great one. The spending money you don’t have to fund a dream you think could work is so real.
That was amazing when you said Westside Columbus. That’s why I used to go in the early 70s. I lived on the northside. They actually trailer in all kinds of cars back then. You would even see an occasional dragster
Loved it. Simply great,
The reason people love bill and the whole family so much is because there doing living and supporting the American dream and there all deserving and great at what they do each of them are great people and work hard and awesome that why there a success
I can relate to you bill because you are who you are, you and your family have much respect from me, Me and my brother has raced all of our, definitely one of my favorites,keep grinding my brother
One of the best podcast yet and I like how Ricky was able to relate lil Wayne to bill and put that into prospective of being famous and needing your space!
This is a great video. America Loves The Old Man!
Probably the best one yet. Think Bill is spot on that many of us view their channels as TV now because of that family feel that you just don’t see these days. We all have our struggles and vices but can all relate to a family trying to survive to do the things they love doing. Just hard working folks trying to give their kids something more than they had.
Thank you, Jason, and the whole Tin Soldier team. Great great podcast really hit to the heart. Bill/old man garage is an awesome channel as well. I would like to see more down to earth videos of reality. I'm speechless right now no work can explain this video. I also have a UA-cam channel that I am starting/started to cover drag racing and DYI car stuff. Just an no drama car guy, Sunday bracket racer from Michigan. Keep the Monday videos coming your word help motivate a lot of people. Personally, for me makes me think more on life and my family. Thank You Tin Soldier/Jason.
What a great interview. Bill is just a good olé midwestern farm boy like a lot of us. He has done a lot of good and you can tell he is much happier now. He and Billy have grown a empire and it will keep growing due to them being genuine and normal. My only wish for him and Vicki is to get on a life style change and drop some weight. It is not a diet diets don`t work per say and I am saying this out of love not hate. Everyone out there is capable of getting thinner and healthier and it is not that hard and does nor require a ton of exercise at all. I`m 20 yrs older then Bill and I dropped 60 pounds about 2 yrs ago and I feel sooo much better now. Corn syrup and sugar and enriched bleached flour are the devil and it has made sooo many of us fat and have health issues. All you have to do is reduce your sugar intake by 70% and make sure you have the proper minerals and nutrients. Fast food is pure trash made by the government and big Pharma. And the first 20 lbs. will go in about 3 months. Trust me the older you get it is so much harder to get around to sleep to live in general!!. And it is no fun wearing out you knees and back and be reliant on meds and having no energy. Just a though for them to get heathier for Wyatt to watch him grow up. Peace and love to all. Oh you MUST get Uncle Bucko on for sure!! That will be an awesome vid cast. Thanks Jason.
Bill Is The Goat !!!
That was some great content!!! Loved it , Jason and Bill keep doin what you all are doin!!
Wow thanks to Tin soldier for having you on the podcast and thank youBill I really enjoyed listening to you and I could have sat here for two more hours God bless you and your family can't wait to watch a hold lot more videos from you
Guys, you are being too hard on yourselves. I appreciate the conversation and your candor. The love of cars is the basis for your success, and UA-cam is showing us what you go thru. I'm not always understanding but I am trying to. Keep up the good work love the content.
