Five0 Asylum

Episode 76.) This week, Brent and Monica from Hicks House Videos, stopped by to give the Asylum an exclusive “first look” at what The Fox Gathering 2024 has to offer.
For those that aren’t aware, each year Hicks House puts on an amazing Gathering for Foxbody lovers, where the motto is “come for the cars, stay for the friends”. If you don’t have a Mustang, that’s ok, your car is welcome… just may cost a little extra at the door though ;-)
The show takes place in Taylorsville NC, from 26 – 28 September. Make sure you mark them calendars! 
Let’s take a listen, learn more about The Fox Gathering and enjoy a conversation with good friends of the show!

This week, we want to take the opportunity to revisit one of our favorite episodes, #17 with Scot Weeves. 
 Originally posted on 12 February 2023, Scot’s episode immediately became one of our favorites. Scot is a decorated combat veteran who was severely wounded overseas. While recovering, Scot leveraged his circumstances to gain his wife’s permission to purchase “one more” fox, to… “aid” in his recovery. 
Scot is hilarious, and his story speaks to how a car build can help one recover and move forward with their life.
This episode also has to contain the absolute best of all time “Fast 10”. 
Fast forward to the present day; Scot’s Coupe is a well-known Fox. His signature (custom mix ) blue with bronze wheels identifies this car from miles away.
We hope you guys enjoy the reposting of this episode.

Episode 17.) We start the episode this week with John on a tear. Some internet trolls ruffled his feathers and he lets us know about it. This week’s guest of honor is Scot Weev’s, a certified American Hero! You probably know his coupe by its signature orangey brown interior and custom one-off dark blue paint. Scot discusses the traumatic circumstance that led to the building of his Notch he affectionately calls Monica, and how it was cathartic during his recovery. This episode has plenty of humor, from the origin of the name “Monica” to John impressing us with his Fast 10 and we discover that John is easily distracted by “penguin noises”. We think you are really going to enjoy this one. Sit back, relax, and tell your friends about it! Enjoy the show.

Episode 72.) This week, we had the honor and privilege to chat with Nick Strong. Nick is an icon in the Memphis Mustang scene. While you may not know him by name, you have certainly enjoyed his work. He organizes and runs the Ford Take Over Cruise every year.

In this pod, Nick discusses his upbringing and how he had to make the conscious decision to change the path of his life. In doing so, Nick changed the trajectory of his life, for the better! We talk about how his love of Mustangs came to be and go over his car history. We also discuss entrepreneurship and how Nick has found success as a business owner. 
This one certainly has something for everyone. We hope you enjoy!

Episode 71.) Have you ever had to make an incredibly difficult decision? One in which, no matter which decision one makes, they will certainly have THOUSANDS of people second-guessing them.  Could you take that amount of pressure and handle it with grace and dignity?
This week, we dedicate the pod to Jenn, so she can explain the incredibly complex factors behind the reason Chocolate Fox 2024 was canceled. 
This is a look behind the curtain, to remind all of US, that these shows that we all enjoy are put on by real people, who risk their financial well-being in the hope of breaking even. All so we can have a good time.
We hope you pull something from this episode. And we hope it makes ALL of us preregister for shows, support the sponsoring vendors, and help breathe financial life into these things to make them viable.

Episode 69.) This week we had the honor, or honour, to speak with Tommy Mederios.

He is an amazing guy, that lives north of the border and has created some 4 eyed greatness with his black GT.

We had a great time talking with Tommy, getting to know him better and learning about his Mustang journey.

Thanks for listening; have a great week!

Episode 68.) This week, we had the privilege to sit down with everyone’s mad scientist of LEDs, Travis Blanchard (@classicleds)
If you are unfamiliar with Travis’ work, he specializes in bringing a critical safety component of Foxbodies into the 21st century, our taillights!
You have undoubtedly seen his work, on any Foxbody that has blinded you when they hit that brake pedal. Our very own War Admiral, Hicks House Videos and 631coatings_carl run Classic LED taillights. 
In this pod we talk to Travis about his love of Foxes, how he came to be the sole proprietor of Classic LEDs and how he amassed a collection of 233 cars (slight exaggeration).
Have a GREAT week and enjoy the pod!
