The Rag Company Podcast is all about car care, community-building and an unusual look behind the scenes of one of the world’s largest suppliers of premium detailing products. While companies often come across as overly self-important and unapproachable, The Rag Company Podcast trio of Dane Hennen, Levi Gates & Anthony Fisher buck that trend completely with their irreverent humor, extremely supportive community and a unifying goal of never taking oneself *too* seriously. (After all, we’re making cars shiny, not solving world peace)

Anthony's back and it's Thanksgiving Week, so the guys share a little of what they're thankful for. (including the awesome job RUPES did fixing-up Levi's original battle-scarred BigFoot 21 polisher!)
In addition to some sentimental stories, the guys hint at some of the awesome new stuff coming to TRC and Anthony tells the tale of the time he accidentally ended up camping in a Black Friday Sale line.

Anthony's got the day off, so you know what that means!
Dane & Levi have a deep-dive discussion about the nature of Subjectivity versus Objectivity in detailing videos & content. They go pretty deep down the rabbit hole, but that's just the kind of show you can expect when Anthony's not around to say "Whoa dude!".
If you like listening to Levi & Dane go down some detailing/productivity/human-nature related tangents, then this MAIN SHOW episode for you!
You can thank some recent /r/AutoDetailing and Obsessed Garage Facebook group posts for being the inspiration for this particular chat.

The Rag Company is on the road in this episode, and SEMA 2017 is the destination!
Levi, Anthony & Dane are joined by TRC Operations Manager John Green & TRC Co-Owner Jeff Hennen as they pilot the Ragscalade down desolate Nevada highways with the TRC SEMA booth in-tow.
This episode meanders, rambles and doesn't really have a particular point --but hey-- that's just life on the road!
Don't worry about this one being a little light on the detailing-talk, though. Tomorrow's episode will feature the guys back in the TRC Studio for an EPIC recap of the week!

It's crunchtime at TRC with SEMA 2017 less than a week away! There's a big list of to-do's and not too many checks on it just yet. Come see us at booth #52032 in the Performance Pavillion, (Big Outdoor Tent) next to BMW, Mini & the Continental Tire Extreme Driving Experience!
In other news, Anthony found some time to work on a Heritage Edition Ford GT and discovered some weirdness with the paint that people may not know about. Then, as if that weren't enough, Anthony somehow manages to continue selling old trading cards on eBay for way more than expected.
