Mendo

[Barefoot Bob]

But you have to give us a little hint now......You can just leave us sitting here;)

[ProComp]

Hit Greg up for a shirt to wear!

[mendo]

Yes, shirts and some stickers to put all over the garage!!

I bet Jesse would love to rip up the river over 100!!

You are a lucky guy! Enjoy it Dude!!

:) :)

Mendo

[Adam McKeon]

Greg, hows about a shirt? Something with S&F.com on it real big! National advertising for the cost of one T-shirt...Not bad:p

Honostly I dont have any other info...and wont get any..Believe me , I tried sweet tlking the casting director and she wouldnt budge. Even offered her drinks and I got shot down:eek: .

I will keep everyone posted though....

Need someone in Cali to show me around. I want to see Boat shops. IE: DCB, Ultra , Eliminator,etc. and maybe a bar or 12! Any takers???? First round is on Monster Garage!:D

[Boz]

How did you manage to get your straw drawn?

[mendo]

Yea, did you send in a tape for the audition?

Looking forward to seeing the show, tonight is my tv night. Monster house, monster garage, american chopper!!!

:)

Mendo

[wing nut]

maybe it will be a car into a speed boat (insted of a speedboat into a car)?? better be fast!

if greg cant get a S&F shirt made up just get 5 (or is it 6?) t-shirts (one for each day of the build) and with a thick sharpie wirte WWW.SCREAMANDFLY.COM :)

and make sure you mention the website at least 30 times during the build lol

[mendo]

Hey Clockwork............

How about posting a picture of your mug so that when we see the show we will recognize you!!

Mendo

[WATERWINGS]

COOL!

[Adam McKeon]

I never sent them the 5 minute video they wanted ( didnt and still dont have time )

Its an odd story...One of my friends who,s name is still disclosed at this point had sent them info about me . In return I got an email one day and a application for the show. At the end of the appl. they request a 5 minute video of your talents and some rescent projects. I didnt send one in but did send the app. 2 months later the casting director is calling me. At this point they were still choosing people and nothing was a definate. This past thursday morning she called and said it was a definate and I was to fly out on the 8th till the 12th. Which is close to the dates Im going to Wyoming to snowboarding and snowmobiling. ( 2nd to the 6th) I told work they either let me go or "Let me Go"! So , I still have a job and Im going!


No mug shots.....Sorry! Just look for the good lookin young guy
:D Adam McKeon .....Jacksonville FL

Now whos going to meet me at a bar when I get there!

[10.5' Tunnel]

[MODVP22]

I'm jealous. How did you pull that off? That's reall;y cool you get to be on the show and hang with Jesse James. Have a great time, make us proud:)

[lqdegl1]

kick ass and get some tools. :D

[Barefoot Bob]

I just spoke to my cousin. He lives in L.A. and works for Speilsberg. He told me he would show you around or at least point you in the right direction. He is a party animal and knows the hot spots.

[msc5195]

keep us updated on the show. Maybe you can hit up some of the advertisers here for some FREEBIES. It will be good advertisement for them on National TV.

[AlaskaStreamin]

If you need any pointers, get ahold of Eric Simon www.simonmotorsports.com. He was on Monster garage last Aug..
Just don't get caught up in the B.S.. They'll make you look like an ass when they air it.

Make us proud!!

[Talon2.5]

Damn it man!! thats awesome!!

if ya need help on the show....lemme know hehehehe :D

keep us posted so i can be sure to watch!! course, i rarely ever miss the monday night line-up....monster house, garage and choppers, i even tape them incase i fall asleep :D that also helps to zip through the commercials :cool:

good luck man and HAVE FUN!!!

[PARKER RABE]

[tunnelmike]

I think they already know !!

[baddjonny]

I guess greg would have to chose a vender for custom shirts .he Might have one already please let me know I'd could probably get samples made in a few days.

jon b

[Trikki1010]

Don't be a Druid;)

Keep us updated dude.....

We're all behind ya 110%/365 :D

[Adam McKeon]

Hey guys, I just got done snowboarding Wyoming, did some kick ass snowmobiling in Yellowstone, now I am sitting in the airport ( right now) and waiting for my flight to Los Angeles! I have tonite and Sunday to screw off...

I also found out what the project is and am bummed out. You,ll understand after the build which doesnt look good at this point. I can say this..If we pull it off it will be a damn miracle. That is if the producers arent pulling my leg on the build. If anyone wants to get in touch with me call me on my cell phone (904) 838-8838 ( adam ) I really do want to go out tonite and see some sites tommorow.

In the last two weeks I have left Jacksonville, went to Orlando, flew to Seattle, flew to Idaho, drove to Wyoming and Montana, flew to Salt lake city Utah, Now to Los Angelas. Im pretty fricken wore out. Hope I dont look like **** during the show:D

Later!

[tunnelfast]

Cool!

There was another S&F member on a TV show re: powerboats last year, wasn't there? Something about tunnel boats?

[Adam McKeon]

I know they have had John West ( owner of Ultra Boats ) on a couple of times..But as far as any other S&F member Im not sure.

Im at the Super 8 motel in Longbeach CA. The other guys arrive today. Cant wait to meet them and start elaberating on the build.Its 7:30 am PST and Im going to walk down the marina. Not real excited , guesse it hasnt hit me....???

Im just glad that the SUPER 8 has a computer that I can use! I can give everyone an update as we go. Im going to talk to the producer tonite and ask if I can spill the beans on what we,re doin. LATER!:cool:

[MODVP22]

S&F member Eric Simon of Simon Motorsports was on Monster Garage last summer for the pontoon sharkboat build.

[Adam McKeon]

Thats close to the equivalant of what I will be doin...:confused: Fast boat guy building a not so fast "boat:eek: "

[Rickracer]

...sporting all S&F members. Another drag boat show would be cool, and we could make the last show's boat look like a rowboat. :D :D

[Adam McKeon]

One of the guys from the show (not sure of his title) has kept in touch with me since the beginning , well anyway , he gave me this like 45 min interview today over the phone . Asked me about everything. Well , anywho....We got in depth about S&F and what it was all about..I dont know if they will say anything about it but he did sound interested.
So far today I have hiked about 15 miles today, went down to the inlet and saw ALOT of go fast boats! Nothing small....All big stuff...a bunch of big cats. So far Longbeach is pretty sweet...Alot of nice a** to look at too!

Oh yeah...They said it would be about 2 months for the show to air.

[baja200merk]

thats awsome man it may not be a scream and flyer but make the best of it! get your self some slammin mac tools!

there is a rule tho you have to put this on the side of your contraption!

[10.5' Tunnel]

It's a pontoon amphicar? Well am I close;)

[CDave]

You need to also wear a ByUBoyz Stars&Bars shirt at least one day. :D

[P man]

Thats AWSOME!!!!
Have fun and if you dont mind scream out my name (ill send ya 5$) lol
Good Luck whatever it is!

[jmdank]

make sure you tell us what it is like behind all of the cameras;)

And good luck to you man!

NOW GO WIN SOME TOOLS!!!

[Talon2.5]

thanks for the updates!! this is cool!!

good luck man!!

[Adam McKeon]

filmed today. tore the car apart, screwed around a bunch and we are one big happy family.

Jet drive!!!!:eek:

[baja200merk]

al i can say is do wut jesse says otherwise youll be nationally insulted:eek: :eek: :eek:

just watched the one with the semi i love that thing soo point less!:D

[mendo]

Don't get cocky (at least on camera)!!!

The editors have a way to put it together so it is more interesting in the end.

You are lucky Dude!!!

Have fun!!

Thanks for keeping us posted!!

:)


Mendo

[Adam McKeon]

still filming, long days working.....8-8! Thank god we scrtched the jet idea:D I dont do jets!Keep you updated.

[tsextreme]

Thats pretty damn cool man, congrats on the opprotunity. I'm jealous:rolleyes:

[Adam McKeon]

Well , its all done and you can scratch up another falure!:D What we did wasnt too hard but they killed us with so much bull****....We were supposed to have 5 days, the first day we didnt start till 1200 noon. wed, they made us go ride jet skis in the ocean which lasted about 4 hours. then they put all this other bull**** in there so in actuallity we got about 3 1/2 days to do alot of work...It was cool though. I have no regrets. ..The car / boat never sank, never broke... Unfortunatly the designer / builder / fiberglass guy decided to make a "neet looking hood scoop" It scooped! A BUNCH OF WATER INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT! Oh well.....it was fun and it makes for good TV...:p Cant wait to see it on TV... Jessie was only there for a total of about 7 hours during the whole thing. And one of our "builders" was a jet ski racer.....Didnt know squat about mechanical ****.:confused:

[wing nut]

so did it fail or no??


scott

[10.5' Tunnel]

Did you atleast get your tools? Sounds like you atleast got the thing done, so didn't fail to badly:cool:

[Adam McKeon]

As much as I hate to say it,, yep we failed! We still get our tools and get paid though! And , We will most likley go back out to do anouther show. Kinda like the herst project...They say failures make for better TV anyway.....It still sucks though! Im back at work today and am so tired....dont want to do anything.

[Laker]

all I can say Is WOW!!!
HOW COOL!!!
Sucks you failed but still very COOL!

[specboatops]

Chin up my friend,you got to go and thats something everyone out here wishes he had a shot at doin,and I highly doubt ANY of us would look at you as a failure,take it as a life expierence,and a great story to tell,and get drunk tellin!
Did you get a chance to talk to Jesse at all? or was he too busy with new girlfriend Sandra Bullock?
Thanks for letting us in on your fun week,you helped at least me feel part of it,even though I have never met you I will look forward to seeing it air,as I know you did a great job!
If you think of anything else interesting please let us all know(any juicy tid bits will work) did you see any of Jesse's cool ass bikes?
Take care ClockworkOrange and thanks again for the thread,it was awesome to follow along.

Respectfully,
Chris

[Adam McKeon]

yeah , I talked to Jessie a bunch..You could tell he took a liken to me right off the bat. He would come in and have me look at pics of something he was building or thinking about. Talked about his pit bull "Cisco" who might have cancer and just a bunch of guy stuff .. He was cool to me but definatly was a dick to most everyone else. Hell , he could have talked **** about me when my back was turned but I wouldnt even care. I will just jack his jaw next time I see em' !:D Even I will be suprised when the show is aired to see what theyre perspective was.

[Adam McKeon]

I hope they show me bustin the windshield of the car when we were done. I wasnt a happy camper..I had an boat paddle in my hand and after a midget.....Yeah , a midget of all people ( how humilating) told us we failed, I turned around and gave the car a kiss across the windshield.:mad:

[stokernick]

I think I would have launched the midjet with the paddle!!:mad: :cool: :cool: :cool:

They give you the tools even if you fail? And they pay you too? Make sure to bump this thread up when it's about to be on...:D

[Adam McKeon]

Its at theyre discretion whether or not to give tools, if they feel you worked hard they give them to you. I know of sevral cases where the builders didnt get ****.

[Adam McKeon]

As of right now , the Mac tools are showing up slowly but surely. Havent got my box yet. I will be selling all tools along with the tool box. ( As I already own two of everything) I will post a list with pics after everything arrives. So far it looks like this episode will be on in early May. So we shall see......

[yachter55]

I agree you are a winner in my side of of the lake.quiters never win and you finished,hence you win .besides how many poeple do ya know could even qualfiy to be on the show.high five from me and enjoy the braggin writes.

[progression22]

hey, @ least you had fun...........That's all that matters

[Adam McKeon]

June 7th .....Discovery channnel, thats the set date, 9pmEST.

I was bummed out last night watching the show, ( with the caddy ) They gave those guys a whole extra day to finish there project, oh well , whata ya gonna do?

[baja200merk]

bout the caddy last night

i dont think they gave them an extra day

what jesse said was that if they get the car done by thursday they would be able to go watch jesse race his mac tools/ westcoastchoppers top fuel dragster at the track.... but they didnt get it done so they couldnt go watch him race...

so if they finished the caddy by thursday (their 4th out of 5 days) they would be rewarded...


HEY WTF IS ON THE MOSTER GARAGE CD?

[Adam McKeon]

not too sure about that, cause if you remember he was talking about throwing it over a cliff due to no brakes on the last day (5) the following day they had to go through the brakes and what not.

[baja200merk]

we gotta get another monster garager's opinion lol

unless u wanna give ur boy jesse a call;)

[Adam McKeon]

Tools!!!! Came in the mail yesterday! Alot of stuff too! The box is getting dropped off by roadway express today! Just in time to bring down to the radical boat reunion. I will be selling the whole package! Tools and box...

[baja200merk]

those tools are prolly worth more then my boat motor and trialer
(which is all for sale!)

[Adam McKeon]

The new show is on tonite 900pm EST Friends are throwing a big bash in Jax if anyone wants to come. There is going to be kegs of Dos Equis, a BBQ truck, and frozen quervo margaritas..

[Adam McKeon]

call if you need directions , its going to be near alltell stadium ( within walking distance) (904)838-8838

[Adam McKeon]

party starts at 700

[dkwestern]

I'll be watching!!!

[Ripper]

WE will all be watching toinght! Congrats and I'm sure you'll make us proud!

Ripper

[mendo]

I will be watching Dude!!!


Hope they edit it in your favor, if not, we all know you are cool.

Congrats!!

[Ripper]

I didn't read if you wore a shirt from S/F or anything??? Did you?


Ripper

[AlaskaStreamin]

How will we recognise you?? Whacha look like??
It'll be on @ 9 pm here.

[Adam McKeon]

No, didnt have an S&F shirt to wear. They were very weird about " lables" No .COM,s were allowed. You,ll see my hat has tape on it to cover up the label. In fact , they are getting so bad, they wont even let more than 2 guys wear WCC shirts. Im ancious and worried how they edit the show, However, people will always have there own conclusions. I had fun , got my tools ( even though it didnt work out great) and it was an oppertunity I will never forget.

I may have to apolagize to some folks later:D I know I said "jet ski,s suck and jet boats suck like 100 times" I got my way when we trashed the jet pump idea and put a straight shaft on it !The pump they got us was a dominator which can handle a ton of power, We had about 180 hp after I put the supercharger on that import peice of chit!

[ApolloImaging]

Man I almost crapped myself when I saw you were on there, I came on here to post up a thread about it then realized there was already one that had been here for months:rolleyes: Cool deal:cool:

[zmoz]

Cool show...I think you got gypped with a Miata and a jet ski. :rolleyes: :) How come you didn't stay around to blow it up? :p

[mendo]

You Da Man!!

You did great!!

That one guy was a little off.

Some expert.

[Laker]

VERRY! COOL!
You did great!
I like the little deal at the end where the dude said "If One of the builders would have shown up....Bla Bla"
I hear JJ doenst guide half the build teams the right way... Still cool Tho.....
Next time in in Jax I will make sure to drop you a line.
Have one for me! You did Great!

[Jimbob]

the lit' midget said ya'll didn't get any tools?:D

[Adam McKeon]

oh my phukin head hurts.......I got to watch the show tonite again ...too drunk and too loud last night...At work and hurtin! It was fun....I didnt go out to Cali to blow it up, niether did mike ( the ol' big guy from mich. ) it was just too much traveling for a day for me. 8 hour flight...6 hour drive into the desert, blow the thing up and then the drive / flight back....TOO MUCH...They did blow that thing up good though didnt they? Like I said before, even though they portait us not winning, we did still get the tools. I sold them to a buddy of mine who now has them in his engine building room. Yeah ........it was fun.

[dkwestern]

Good Job, They did indeed blow the crap out of that thing!!!!

[Ripper]

I missed it... Do you know if it airs again? I heard maybe on Saturdays??? Do you know anything on that???


Ripper

[Adam McKeon]

I think its on again tonite at the same time....

[msc5195]

Was it just me or did any notice that when it was being hauled to beach for destruction it had no doors on it and then during the slow motion replays it clearly showed the doors blowing off. They also left the nice rims on it. What a waste.

[Adam McKeon]

sorry, its not on tonite, it was on at midnight last night.next day is 13th at 200pm you can go to the discovery channel to see a schedule.

the doors were off the car for some reason. And yes it was a shame they blew up all the cool stuff, Brand new Jackson Racing super charger , fuel pumps, wheels , tires, etc.

[Clyde]

Who decides on the project? It seems sometimes Jesse isn't into it and just blows it off, other times he's all over it. Producer's choice?

[Adam McKeon]

jessie was only there for a very short amount of time, but yes, as far as descisions go, if we wanted to change something the producers would say no, only jessie had the ability to change the project, so alot of stuff had to wait till he said we could change it.

[Clyde]

I remember Jesse saying that, and changing to a prop drive. Who's idea was it to make a "jet ski" anyway? I guess what I'm asking is who makes up the projects? I remember one where they made that tailgating Escalade. Jesse was sitting shaking his head and wishing it was over, he hated it. That show seemed like it was just a Caddilac add.

[Adam McKeon]

I think on the discovery website people put in ideas on builds and they chose from there......

[zmoz]

It's funny they still kept advertising it as the "jet car"...:p

[sho305]

Some people are so clueless about mechnaical stuff...and I swear they all work in marketing or entertainment fields.:rolleyes:

"Dude, we will make a cool car movie and everyone will love to see real expensive cherry cars blowing up in giant flame balls everywhere...":confused:

[mr.clean]

jesse only sticks around if he thinks the build crew is working hard. it looks like that "tuff guy" did alot of **** talking and nothing else. you should have smacked him and jesse ;)

[Adam McKeon]

actaully jessie comes around as much as his schedule could allow, you have no conception of how much stuff he has got going on....Chopper shop, Custom wheel manufacturing shop (which is massive) Monster Garage ( which they do an episode every 2 weeks) Motorcycle Mania ( just filmed another) Now he,s doin movies, And on top off all the public relations he does, He,s trying to launch his own car Co. Yeah....didnt know that did ya?Oh yeah slap in a family in there somewhere.....I cant blame him for not being there as much as he was but it sure would have been nice....Since we only had 3 real builders

[175checkmate]

Great job on the show. I think the car would have came out better is there was a bit more freedom to do it right. A bit of sream and fly goes along way. I love the paddel meets the glass. Nice.

[stylishskier]

great job on posting 3 times Gus :p haha
It was a cool concept but rice burner engine just is not gonna cut it to turn any sort of prob at any velocity, was cool to see you out there

lata

[175checkmate]

Bummer, sorry about that. When I was hitting reply it was taking forever. I took to out.lol

[MODVP22]

I thought it was really cool how they did the MONSTER Profile on you Adam. :cool:
