C10 America Talks, is where we talk to the Owners, the Builders, the Creators out there doing the unthinkable!

Welcome to a brand-new audio experience from C10 America Talks. In this debut episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the inspiration and raw emotion that fueled our song, "Tailgate Prayers."

This isn't just about the music; it’s about the life, the memories, and the stories that happen when you’re leaning against the tailgate. Join me as I walk you through the journey of how this track came to be, the meaning behind the lyrics, and why these stories matter. We’re trying something different with this podcast—bringing you closer to the heart of the music and the culture we love.

Grab a seat, hit play, and let’s dive into the story behind the song.

How does that version feel to you?

After a stretch of changing routines, finishing up the magazine work, and locking in the latest metal print projects, it’s time to get back to the early mornings and rebuild that steady 4AM grind. It’s not always easy getting the rhythm back after a break, but the mission stays the same—keep building, keep creating, and keep moving forward.

Rich talks about where things stand with C10 America right now, including continued growth in the community as the numbers climb to 87.2K members and still rising. From starting at zero to where things are today, the momentum is real—and it’s only picking up.

This episode is a reminder of what it takes behind the scenes: consistency, adjustment, and getting back in the studio even when the schedule gets thrown off. The work doesn’t stop, and neither does the growth of the C10 America family.

Good morning, C10 Nation!

Turn it up loud and proud, my friends!

This week's New Music Mondays features 12 songs written by our good buddy Roller from Colorado, along with our Brand-New Song of the Week. And no, we're not telling you what the Song of the Week is—you'll have to tune in and hear it for yourself.

We're also trying something a little different. We've been working to give the show more of that classic FM radio station feel that many of us grew up with. Great music, station promos, commercials, and a continuous listening experience that feels like you're cruising down the road with your favorite station on the dial.

Whether you're cruising down the highway, turning wrenches in the shop, hanging out in the garage, relaxing in the man cave, kicking back in the she-shed, or holding court in the legendary Garage Mahal, we've got your soundtrack covered.

Grab something cold to drink, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. For the next 1 hour and 11 minutes, it's all about the music, the atmosphere, and the experience.

🎵 Calling All Independent Country Artists! 🎵

We are wrapping up an absolute whirlwind of a week, and we’re sitting down this Saturday afternoon to break it all down for you! If you’ve seen the new cover art, you might notice something a little different—yeah, we’re talking about the freshly dyed beard! We dive into the story behind the new look for this weekend's photo shoots over at the in-laws.

The projects are stacking up, and we are just getting started on these builds. Honestly, we are so incredibly busy keeping up with the new metal prints company that we haven't even had a second to breathe! In this episode, we’re laying out the roadmap for where we’re headed next, breaking down the killer upcoming car shows you need to mark on your calendar, and dropping the inside scoop on our brand-new company dedicated to high-quality, durable metal prints designed to showcase your rides.

Building the Future: The C10 America Build Shop

To be completely transparent with you guys—right now, this is purely an idea. We are at the very beginning stages, getting our thoughts down on paper and mapping out what this could look like. We have been incredibly blessed with how fast this community is growing and how busy we're getting, and this feels like the ultimate next step.

Here is the blueprint for the dream layout we want to build:

The First Floor (The Builds & The Swag): Downstairs is where the magic happens. On one side, we’ll be building custom, top-tier C10 trucks exactly the way we want to build them—and yes, they will be for sale! You’ll be able to purchase an official C10 America build, complete with its own exclusive "C10 America Build" badging on the side. Up front, we'll have a fully stocked gift shop where you can grab all your favorite C10 America gear.

The Second Floor (The Studio): Right above the gift shop, we're planning a second-floor studio featuring a massive glass mezzanine.

The Fan Experience: While you're downstairs hanging out and grabbing merch, you'll be able to look right up through the glass to see exactly who we have in the studio and who we're talking to that day. Plus, we're going to run live speakers down into the gift shop hooked directly to the broadcast. While we're broadcasting worldwide, you'll hear the entire interview live right there in the room.

This is something we really, really want to make happen. Because we are right at the ground floor of this idea, we want to know if you guys want to get on board with us. Listen to the episode, see what we're planning, and let's talk!

In this episode, we pick up right where we left off yesterday—out at Future Graphics in Pomona, California, where I got my first real start in the graphics business. I walk you through what those early days were like, what I was learning on the ground floor, and how it all started shaping the path I’ve been on ever since.

We also talk about the big car show I took my boss out to back in California—what that day meant, what was really going on behind the scenes, and why that moment still sticks with me today.

You’ll also hear about the software we were using back in the graphics studio, and how everything was built and run in those early days of design and production.

And then there’s the part that really gets interesting—one company came in and threw a wrench into everything while we were running smooth. I talk about what happened, why it mattered, and how that same company ended up doing the exact same thing 20 years later, but now to me.

You can’t make that stuff up.

So if you want the full story, hit play. Appreciate you being here, and I’ll talk to you in the next one.

We lined up about 10 C10 chart-topping tracks, all written by our guy Roller from Colorado, bringing fresh energy and brand-new music built for the blue-collar, faith-driven C10 world.

These aren’t just random picks—this entire set of songs is part of what Roller is building for the culture, and we’re proud to feature his work here on the show. That’s what this is all about: real people, real trucks, real stories, and original music coming straight from the community.

We had a solid crowd tuning in from all over the group—and even from across the world—checking out the new format. This is still building, still evolving, and we want honest feedback from everybody listening. Let us know what’s working, what you want more of, and what you want changed as we dial this thing in.

What is New Music Mondays?

And starting soon, every song you hear will be available for download at $0.99 each, or you’ll be able to grab them in three-song packs for a better deal. Everything will be available through:
www.c10americanmagazine.com

This is just the beginning of building a full C10 music platform—by the community, for the community.

Tonight was one for the books as Texas Rich from C10 America jumped on the Pedal to the Metal Motors & Music Podcast with Jokester and world-famous Roller Jeff Richards out of Parker, Colorado for an hour-and-a-half conversation packed full of stories, history, vision, laughter, hot rods, music, and everything that makes this C10 community special.

Roller reached out around 7PM Central and invited us onto the show, and from the moment the microphones turned on, it felt like a couple of old friends sitting around talking trucks, life, and the road that led to building one of the fastest-growing C10 communities in the country.

We talked about how C10 America first started back in 2022 on the back porch of my dad’s house in Fort Worth, Texas — just an idea, a vision, and a passion for old trucks and the people behind them. From there, the conversation dove deep into the journey… from the early magazine days in California, the inspiration behind launching my first hot rod magazine, the lessons learned along the way, and how those experiences eventually led to the birth of C10 America.

We also talked about where the group is today and how unbelievable the growth has been. Sitting right around 85.5K members and climbing fast, there’s a real possibility we could hit 90,000 members by July 4th. Our buddy Scott even called it live on the show — and honestly, with the momentum this community has right now, it just might happen.

The conversation wasn’t just about numbers though. It was about people. Blue-collar passion. Faith. Family. The love of classic trucks. The stories behind the builds. The friendships formed along the way. And why this movement has become so much bigger than just old sheet metal and horsepower.

Huge thanks to Jokester and Roller Jeff Richards for having us on the show tonight. Roller’s personality, music background, storytelling, and love for the culture made this podcast an absolute blast to be part of.

If you missed it live, keep an eye out for the replay.
