Funny how u say this shit and he just dropped a CZcams video about building a new car. Your F***ing lame
First rule of being an owner or boss, don't be an ass to employees. They can make or break you depending on how they are treated.
I'm getting those "AMERICAN HOT ROD" vibes from this. : )
Very true 👍
@@The_Bermuda_Nonagon yup. I loved boyd coddington as a child. Watching his cars and what not. Then I found out what a dick he was to his employees....sadddd
@@mrcontroversy222 that show was unwatchable because of bud
@@mattspychala7251 exactly
Man i worked in this business for alot of years. THere is never enough time in the day to do all the stuff that gets promised. I walked out more than once after 12 to 14 hour days but the boss left after 8 hours. Money isnt worth your life, no matter what!!! Great Video!
Yeah I recorn, I actually want to start build Lamborghinis out of crap old cars but I don't think of I will have enaugh time to complete it I'm thinking of use light metal sheets and alot of welding just to make it faster cause fiber glass take alot of moldings and time
@@MrNdanguza you can’t build a Lamborghini unless you are Lamborghini. You will have a horrible looking replica. Don’t bother save yourself the grief.
Met a guy years ago that said he worked for him, wasn't sure if I believed him, but one thing he did say was owner was an asshole...
@@ryanflood635 it very possible, as long as u work on urbody kits and transform your engine on very good performance, the only problem is I don't have time, it take alot of time.
@@MrNdanguza a cobra replica if done right has great value. A Lamborghini replica is useless, just posing.
Unfortunate. "Ish" was one of the most talented employees for WCC. Too bad the owner was over working / under paying em.
I interviewed with the. And the employees all told be not to work there. They were all unhappy
😂😂😂😂
Unfortunately she of the best custom shop end because of these same issues!
Mkpn
Yup
They are stuck in 2000 with their designs, They should be called West Coast Ricers
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Theres much better alternatives than WCC nowdays, who make you look like a milion bucks instead of a ricer.
@@mangotail6808 RDB comes to mind
They build what they’re asked to build..
If I walk in and ask for a balls to the wall off-roader it’s not coming back with ten foot exhaust tips and a big wang
I never really connected with this show. I though the owner was always a d**k to the shop guys. Not entertaining. I like Chip Foose
Foose is a class act, this guy, not so much.
broo foose was the best, i loved all his work when i was younger i would watch every build of his. i just loved how his cars were so clean & not over the top he knew how to add things without going overboard
Don’t compare this guy to Foose
Couldn't agree more Tad !!! . Chip Foose is a great builder but as far a TV shows to watch i personally enjoy Full Custom Garage . If an everyday guy is building in his garage at home so many tips and creative techniques can be picked up by watching Ian Roussel .
U can't even compare a builder to so over working shop owners
Never got why people got their cars done by them.. all their cars looked cheap and just plain ugly.
Cap
Monkey see, sheep do
Yeh. I don’t think iv ever seen a nice car come out of there. And I think I watched nearly all of the episodes growing up.
@@ryanflood635 i wouldn’t say all their cars are bad cuz i’ve seen some clean one (the ones that’s not over the top)
I agree. The cars they did were horrible.
Yeah, when their brand started showing up for sale at Walmart. That was the end.
It was the end when the little kids that thought they did a great job grew up and realised that it was shit
It’s all the same crap. Just rebranded at a cheap price.
Lol
Walmart is where they all die lol
Shaq keeps them in business by having his cars brought in to replace all the emblems with the Superman logo🤣

thats why ave left he was too good
SO TRUE
@@howiedoin582 he might come back
@@Kazra hope so we’ll have to see
Ryans ego swallowed him whole
The owner let success corrupt his thinking. The workers are the ones getting the work done. If you screw them you'll end up in failure. This guy out grew his talent.
Maybe try wearing big boys cloths.
He dresses like a 15year old kid.
Haha so true 😂😂👌
That's for sure.. and the ink.. very low class. no matter what you say about it. who is your audience,
He thinks he’s a bro!
@@jimballuff3849 tattoos has nothing to do with it lmao.
The host?
Typical junk for people who have more money than common sense. I would not let WCC or Will Castro in NY wash my lawnmower.
Castro show went away real fast off of motor trend.
😂 😂 😂
I seriously never liked he's west coast attitude...
You mean wouldn’t.
Castro does bullshit work
I really don’t care. I just feel bad for the employees.
I hate how Ryan and even Boyd don’t lift a tool and make all the money. Chip is the only guy that gets his hand dirty, treats his workers with respect.
Boyd Coddington died back in 2008 FYI. I don't know what happened to his shop in the end.
You can't name Ryan and Boyd in one sentense. Boyd was an a*hole, but a genius designer. Ryan is an a*hole and can't design
Not sure many companies have the boss working the same tasks as the employees
Well obviously not. Ryan is busy trying to get high profile clients and always seems to be in meetings. Plus as above, you don't see Jeff Bezos coding the Amazon website.
Sorry to bust your bubbles but Chip is an arrogant A-hole too. Yes he works hard but he is not what you see on TV.
I remember when they put toasters & fish tanks on Pimp My Ride😂😂😂😂😂😂
😢🤣 funny asf
That doesn't sound like a good combination.
@@alf6259 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@calebstith5326 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Be honest pay employees for their time quit making deadlines you can’t make. Make it right.
I really thought the owner Ryan, didn't know anything about cars he was just a bad bullshitter.
The biggest lawsuit that I read that they had was a customer brought in a basically brand new car that was from the dealership and they wanted several different customizations to the car and car was totaled because of these guys didn't do anything correctly so they had to have it completely redone by another shop
The customer refused pay for any of the work because of the damages to the car and then they actually tried to Sue and they lossed and it was for several million dollars this lawsuit
even the owner looks like his stuck in 1995 with that blink-182 high school look.. lmao i drove by the shop the other day they have two stock chargers in the front door, like wow thats their work lmao
The work was what seemed to be bolt on catalog add-on junk, wraps and crappy paint jobs. Lots of goofy LED's making it look like a clown car. They catered to celebrities mostly because they are generally not real car people and buy into the hype and have deep pockets.A shop like Kindig blows these lightweights away.
Absofuckinglutly!
Man you can't mention kindigit and Westcoast in the same sentence, that's disrespectful 🤦♂️
@@nonameisthename138 Your right, two different worlds here. Kindig is but one that comes to mind. Many serious shops that will never be on TV also do excellent builds and custom work. The work they do can be seen at SEMA every year.
Chip Foose's bumpy ride with Discovery is rather typical- when Chip got it rolling for them, they started trying to substitute corny false drama and faked problems for cars well done. Chip finally learned he could not reform them. I miss the show for the outstanding work. Chip, he still blows them away at SEMA and is a judge at places like the Most Beautiful Roadster Show and the Riddler; I suspect he is much happier!
Kindig makes some great stuff he passes Foose big time.
Westcoast Custom was a customer of mine years ago! They bounced a $70 check to me and would not come clean with it! Till some months later I get a call they're in a bind they needed me to build something for Sylvester Stallone's movie truck! Bingo! I told them pay $70 plus fees and the job I'll do prepaid in cash. There was a lead fabricator I don't remember his name but his house was about to or was in forclosure because Ryan wasn't paying him so he went to Ryan for money so he wouldn't lose his house and Ryan fired him! Another guy was a couple weeks behind in pay! On a Friday Ryan comes to him and asked if he would come in on a Saturday to work on Ryan's son's go-cart! He asked if he could get paid and Ryan got pissed and fired him! This is all first hand info.
Glad you blew their cover👍
Ryan always came across as a little shit!
Classic case of “Small Man Syndrome”!
@@ces69 when ur short u have to wait for the shit to come down
He paid his guys cash for a long time my buddy sold him the hummer for alien ware
😳😯😯😯😡
These place was the “Extreme Makeover Home Edition” of the car enthusiast community. Looked good from a distance but it was nonfunctional and fell apart in the driveway.
This happens to all car audio shops, they usually take someone young in the field and exploit their passion for custom, capitalizing on their work ethic and loyalty to getting the job done. Bringing their mentality to a no room for error ideology, or the installer has to pay for it. Just think about it, while the shop makes 100.00 per radio install, and after 200plus installs later, if an accident happens and a 400.00 dashboard is cracked, the shop wants to put the bill on the installer or terminate them if they don’t agree to pay for it. While most installers have OCD, when it comes to having any to no accidents on their record.
Are they still in business? Ryan overbooked and oversold his capabilities, then gave shoddy workmanship.
Yeah they are, but they send a lot of work to other people, and they have a CZcams channel with the same feel of a tv episode, but a lot shorter and stuff; still, nothing interesting to see there
Finally . The only thing that kept them in business was their ignorant celebrity clientele. More money than brains pool was bound to eventually end. Their work quality was terrible and their lack of imagination obvious . They are up there with unique whips another chop shop taking money from people that don’t have a clue about quality or style .
These cars are art: built for appearances only; not meant to be driven or used as a vehicle.
Chip Foose and Dave Kindig are the BEST !!! Real Designers !!!
Totally agree!👍
What about the owner of Phantom Works...lol NVM that dude seems like a dick..
They built over done junk. Always thought they were a joke
their job on classics are great, on newer car is like ew
When I was younger I thought everything they did was cool. Now that I am older and look at the details. Everything they have done has been junk. Cool concepts but junk results
Like I loved watching when I was younger now i prefer other shows
Couldn't watch the mouthy Hobbit or his ugly brat, reminded me of the dwarf from Fantasy Island
They added body kits with two sided tape and then painted over that , you can see it on some YT clips , where they found and restore an old "Pimp Your Ride" car .
Overworked and underpaid, sounds about like most of the shops I worked at back in the day.
He never paid his bills. At car shows and SEMA he always failed to pay Models, Booth Setups, and cars.
He’s a terrible human being
How do you know? I’m not doubting you I’m just wondering

thats a simple example of when you don't take care of your workers
Now these boys can make their "own" shop and start doing some real man's job. Forget about the toys fellas.
Custom work is so, so difficult. There's always going to be unexpected challenges and generally speaking, It's the hardest way to make money in the aftermarket car industry. Communication is everything and obviously taking care of your valued employees is extremely important.
When the owner/boss doesn’t even work on cars this is what you get .
Yeah Paul Teutel Senior!
Truth!
Yes its just more pimpmyride shit.

Amen to that 🙏🏾
They been killing it way more time before the youtube videos
@@frankierizzo5481 CZcams them they do all the celebrity cars NOW
They also build better cars, not riced for the most part. Mostly clean cars and clean builds.
"OH my F@#%in god"
"You get the shot?"
"Yep got it ryan"
"OK see you next week"
So basically the working environment there is like the work environment everywhere LOL all bosses want you to work as much as possible for as little pay that they can get away with paying you
Nah some bosses have realistic expectations and treat employees fair. Sounds like you guys need some new jobs.
When you look real closely at the cars these guys were hacks.
They probably do fine work but when you get a tv or production crew trying to force their inputs, this almost always happens. Ryan sold him and his team out chasing the cash.
What do you mean closely?
@@janeblogs324 lol. Touche
Bondo covers it all lol or seem seal
Agreed, I worked on a customer's Mercedes, that was done by Wcc and they jacked up the whole electrical system on that thing. I had to convert the vehicle back to stock. The body kit that they created was terrible, when you inspected the craftsmanship. Every malfunction indicator light in the world was on display, in that Mercedes.
I worked at the company they made the Firefall Bus for - it was a total cluster F. It was undrivable when they "delivered" it. Looked gorgeous, but literally had to be carried on a flatbed from location to location.
A lot of the cars on pimp my ride where not legal for the road or safe.
Wow
Red 5?
Holy crap.
I TOTALLY believe it....LOTTA these type of "car custom shops" deliver their "finished products" with the EXACT type of deathtrap driving cars but...? "Dudn't it look DOPE bro sittin there?!?!" Like driving by at 30 feet.......SMDH
How they made it this long is a miracle, their work was a Kenny Powers wet dream
Kindig and his crew build the best cars around, and Dave gets his hands dirty. Toronto, Canada
Absolutely, they actually do car design and engineering. These clowns just do wheels, tyres and crazy music systems. Give them a Lamborghini and they will just slap stupid wheels on it
The Ring Brothers build killer cars too.
And the rust brothers, they do well too
@@j.armand1363 not familiar with the Ring Brothers
@@Nyjawonder couldn.t agree more, I am with you.
You always look after your employees
First they then look after the customer
Pay them well / treat them respectfully / and make them part of a team environment and encourage feedback and thoughts
This is why I’ve had the same employees for over 15 years
Years ago, I took a class called "Management by Objectives" as part of the business course to finish out my degree. The entire book, as named in the class, elaborated on everything you said.
@@Joskemom You can delegate authority, but not responsibility.
@@sewlow58 I did not say you delegate responsibility.
@@Joskemom Neither did I. Just saying that that's how it works.
I was in the auto aftermarket custom/candy industry for quite a while and his stuff was just north of decals and Walmart lights unfortunately. Really very little actual true custom work that he did and most was outsourced it appears. He's probably alright from the creative side but this industry is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration and your craftsmen are the life blood in this business. If you mistreat them, the end is near. Talented employees are tough to find and often hard to keep as other quality shops are always looking and the guys know it. Success obviously went to his and was as unmanaged as the production side so someone should have told him to hire to his weaknesses, pay them well, encourage their talents and you both will shine.
I think I need to get off this toilet and stop watching all of these recommendations
Same
Legit on the toilet doing this 🤦🏻♂️
My legs are numb...
Ryan takes credit for the builds, but doesn't actually do any of the work.
The craftsmen are your business they must be treated fairly.
Another case of, "pimped rides", and "whips", leading shops to build flash cars that don't age at all. These guys were always money motivated, not real creative car builders. You'll find there shit at Copart auction next year.
My buddy got his car done by them. They did shit work and over charged crazy prices. They banked off their tv show. They were never going to last. He waited 8 months for a job that should have taken them a week.
I think a lot of car manufacturers are coming out with factory higher technologies and the aftermarket scene isn’t need as much as it was in the early 90s early 2000s. Thus leading to less work.
So I watched a long as video saying it knows why it stopped then asked us at the very end do u know like tf
Yep. Agree. Video was as bullshit as the show and the builds.
I spent 10 minutes and 26 seconds of my life watching just for an answer not to be given. Wtf 🤬
I didnt even think they were a thing anymore. I pass by that shop all the time and its super empty.
You're correct, as I often visit friends drive up there from San Clemente. I never see anything moved around. The Shop is washed up..
That's all it really was once they made it to the top. A made for TV production studio.
I believe the celebrities has moved on to driving real super cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, etc. The novelty of a pimped out custom car has dried up. As they’re seen as ridiculous boy racer cars as seen on the fast & furious.
@@iMadrid11 no they just realized Ryan has been scamming them for years.
There’s even you tubers that make full build cars and anyone can buy nice cars anywhere. Competition is killing this guys. West coast custom should stay close since 2010 after they pull the fuck up on Mexican guy that open the shop in Mexico City the guy left his family in LA and his illegal. Now his ex wife is married to someone else and he didn’t got the chance to see his kids grow up thanks to Ryan.
I was wondering why there's been no new seasons well glad I found this video that explains everything
I think celebrities figured the dealership could install tinted windows, wheels and sound system for a fraction of the price WCC was charging. Why would you pay Ryan 40k for a lift kit and wheels on your Toyota Tundra when the dealer could just mark up the price a couple of thousand and do it for you.
paint,wraps,wheels,big sound systems. he will never be a real custom builder like kendig
I’m reality he never did anything!! His employees are the ones making all the upgrades and changes lol 😆👍🏼👍🏼
Thats cuz kendig designed cars like chip Foose, West Coast Customs just adds fancy upgrades to their cars
Foose
idk dude turned a 4 door charger into a 2 door coupe supercharged 5.7 v8
Defo ..he has skills and gets his hands dirty ...RYAN is just a glorified floor manger ..
Hard to take anyone seriously when they wear flood pants.
He will be laughing When there is a flood
Obviously that didn't stop him from making millions..
"high waters" back in the day
If you want to like a fool.. He Made it !! you ever hear of Dress for Success, and pay the people that work for you well and they will stay and always come through for you. He seemed to try and do everything wrong. da.
If the shop is anywhere near the la riverbed, those flood pants will come in handy
Huh there you go always wondered how he pays his employees with his words,"it needs to be done,"sometimes they do overdo a car and it looses it class,look at Foose his on another level very humble guy his work is fantastic
As a now retired car audio installer, I remember watching a few of the shows much like a dog tilts is head at high pitch noises.
First and most important rule in business. Always Always take care of your employees. They will make or brake you. In this case WCC is on borrowed time. Big mistake bigger consequence.
I'll just take my cars to Benny's from now on.
Very few seasons were telecast in my country but I always thought that they just bought stuff from the market and installed it on cars. I never saw machine tools in their shop. They don't do customisation, they only do aftermarket parts fitting and vinyl wrap. The only thing they did in house was sound systems and some upholstery.
I have respect for him for being in the business but it's just what I think.
I work for a brand of auto part often used on builds like these. I've actually been on a similar show to WCC and been on the set of others. The builds *RARELY* finish on time. It's not just WCC. Additionally, when they finally unveil the vehicle, it's often not actually finished. The crew takes the vehicle back after filming, moves onto another car that's being filmed, and the first car will get buttoned-up weeks or sometimes months later.
I knew this show was a fluke. Ryan isn’t doing his job as a boss and now look what happens; all the celebrities don’t like the company no more
RDB running the show and always has been.
any more
Plywood and fiberglass does NOT make a custom. Cars were crap, show was worse.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
He needs to just tell everybody, “I’ll do it as fast as I can but I can’t make any promises.”
I watched a few episodes and saw the abuse of the employees. Every project had too short of timeframes. I get that this creates drama for reality shows, but you could tell that he’s a screwup in terms of managing his shop. The workers seem like great people. What a bad boss.
1a1aQ
you cant expect every member of the shop to be perfect every time . A mistake gets made , there was no other time to use . There was no redo potential and Ryan would continue to book jobs he couldnt meet deadlines for.
Being someone that worked in the CUSTOM industries for some years. I find it funny how people always get butt hurt on time lines not being met. I get it, as a customer if your told your cars gonna be done by said time, you expect it. But if your getting some over the top custom project, delays happen. Shop is having to outsource work and that shop might have an issue. Which now messes up your time line. COMMUNICATION is what needs to happen. If the shop is up front with what’s going on, you can’t hate. If you feel like your being dicked around well there’s plenty of custom shops in the world. But I also agree that the tv cars are not always what they are cracked up to be. You see flaws and such all the time. But also remember they are under contract to provide content for the show. So I’m sure some projects are just slapped together right quick for content. Now we would just hope that when the cameras are away those loose ends get patched up. Lastly all I have to say is there are always 2 sides to a story. I always enjoyed the show for the creativity and just like seeing crazy projects as I’d never be able to afford that. But also understand at the end of the day. It’s tv.. it’s only there for entertainment.
Oh and for the employees.. you don’t like the way your being treated at work and are being over worked. Find another job. Work for another shop. No ones holding a gun to your head saying you have to work there. You want the fancy shop, nice tools, air conditioned bays. Well all that cost money as well.
Just my .02
When "selfmade" bosses become A-holes...
This was on of my favorite shows growing up
There are a ton of great custom shops here in SoCal. Great craftsmen who are honest and great to work with.
But lots of rip off joints too!
They built crap, I never thought that any of their builds where any good
Their builds were more flashy.
i saw one episode when they ruined a white lamborghini and brought it out to the track for the owner i saw his body language and his eyes that he hated it.. they ruined his car... i was like what the hell are they doing to the car they are making it so ugly.... i guess he returned it or let another shop do a big makeover....
@@tomandersson5089 yeah they're cars suck
And paying his staff 7bucks an hour in California. Lol

I love when a company or any individual comes to their ends and the comment section is always full of people that hates them.I never find a single person who talked and praised their creations or acheivements during their prime.I used to watch this show back in the days and it was fun while it lasted,sad to know the hidden stories tho.
Ryan got tons of cash, but will bounce a $100 check on ya.
Over hyped stuff. Got more and more silly. Just compare with chip Foose... total quality and understated brilliance.
Absolutely top class.
Overhaulin' had its own issues too.
@@kjcorder Almost all caused by the insertion of fake drama and corny side shows- by Discovery Channel's production people. Chip took a hiatus, coming back when he thought he had a better handle on the crap; he didn't. Among other things Discovery did was hire Jessi Combs, a professional car restorer- and wanted her to do cheezecake rather than get her hands dirty. She left. She died trying to go faster than any woman alive or dead. It might have been different if Jessi had been given a chance to do what she well knew how to do.
@@fredericrike5974 didn't jessi also work on Mythbusters or something similar doing wild fab work
@@kjcorder I believe she also did "Girl's Garage" and another on off road cars and trucks.
They on CZcams now a days ...that show WCC reminds me of walking into a Best Buy store...the car audio aisle🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or Pep Boys.
My first job was at best but...back when we would get "at cost" employee pricing ...needless to say another of employees would make more money off the clock then they did on it. 😆 good times
So true that how I feel when I go to Best Buy car audio aisle 🤣🤣
When they did there car audio upgrade with there own gear 🤦🏻♂️ no f kidding
$6 / hour ? No overtime pay ? Nope , I wouldn't even consider this shop for a job !
Wh-ats-App+1...3...4...6..3....5...8...7...9..6...6
I’m not in the car business, but I treat my employees with respect. And guess what? My firm is thriving.
The over the top gaudy look went out now people want clean cars.
i was never a fan of over the top looking cars. wit my cars i mostly just do tints, & probably a splitter depending on the car. other than that all my upgrades are under the hood
Yup, I actually like the cars Chip Foose does on Overhaulin’ but West Coast Customs was a entertaining show.
@@nonay220 chip foose was the best, his cars we always classy & never over the top
How time and taste has changed.
Or just simple built/tuned cars. Hell I'm happy with just getting a new paint job same color on old reliable and leave at that
It seems a common trait with many car restoration companies on TV thdt staff seem to do a huge amount of overtime with no regards to fsnily life or rest and not clear whether they get a fair wage for the extra work. The owners become millionaires whereas the workers still drive battered 20 year old cars.
WCC are good. Ryan is a genius. Built that company from ground up. They are actually doing great. Got his dealership. Nothing is perfect
Amen everyone. I left a shop I worked in after the owner told me that my problems aka my kids were not his problems and that needed to figure my money. I said bye and walked out and am now making 3 times the amount.
Note to west coast customs guys if ur not making at least 50,000 a year there are plenty of shops that will pay that
A real boss in this industry will get on the tools with the crew, and put in a 12-14 hour day when projects are behind.
Gospel.
YEP!
Thats important in every Business
When your performance cannot live up to your MOUTH, you crash and burn....... Ryan's ego got way ahead of his shop......
Those employees are very real craftsmen! Too bad they had to put up with their idiot boss!
I'm amazed ish has stayed there so long. He's constantly getting shit on by the boss man
I would think that it ended because it was billed as a car build show, where they never showed anybody actually doing any work.
Even as a young freshly qualified mechanic back in 2000 i wondered how the hell these cars were getting finished and how he made any money,turns out all the pimp my ride cars were death traps and it was just about looks.
Pimp my ride always looked like they let a drunk driver run a car though the cheap car accessory aisle of pep boys.
They get money per episode.
I'm honestly surprised they were even allowed to make this long of a run. They should have been canceled 10 years ago
It's a horrible show especially Pimp your ride lol. But I guess it was for people that aren't really into cars that watched and enjoyed it.
@@squidusn71 "Pimp my ride" ? Oh, you mean "Paint my rust bucket" 😉
@@squidusn71 The show when they fixed your car and afterwards they ripped off all of the parts they put just for a show-off? 🤭 That show was a pure scam!
I remember Ryan and his shop from when they were turning out bad ass mini trucks in the mid to late 90's.Too bad he drifted away from that.
His blue Mazda b2200 that made the cover was cool but I agree with ya 💯
I called asking for price on their tinting for my windows. Another place had the same tint for 3 times cheaper. I love Ryan though! Appreciate the picture!
You have to take care of those who take care of you. That should be a business rule #1. I always thought the employees were rollin in dough. Due to their long hours. It’s sad that I was wrong.
If I had the money to have a car built it would be Kindigit Design period.

There was a shop on the east coast they had a show also in the early 2000s. They went bankrupt I read. They were based out of New York. Show lasted about 3 seasons I think. Unique Whips was the name.
Thanks for telling me nothing everyone didn't already know.
Stopped by the shop a couple years ago while in Burbank. Picked up some merch and ask if Ryan was there and they said yes. I ask if he could step downstairs to sign the shirt and say hi. He signed the shirt up stairs said wasn’t able step outta the office. Lost any interest in WCC after that. The signed shirt made a good dog bed.
He was probably busy. You sound entitled.
You expect him to drop what he is doing, rush down stairs to sign it in front of you? Give me a fucking break, you are lucky he even took the time to sign it.

They did have odd ideas based on what a 3 year old kid said.
