After the sad and shocking news of Ken Block's passing on January 2, 2023, we felt it was appropriate for us to engage in a discussion with Hoonigan Industries about the brand, the YouTube channel, the company's history, and its current and future endeavors moving forward. In this episode of the Battle Approved podcast, we are joined by Ron Zaras, SVP of Hoonigan, who enlightens us on all things Hoonigan and provides insights into what lies ahead, including their Gymkhana Grid series later in the year. Ken Block, an American professional rally driver, was associated with the Hoonigan Racing Division, previously known as the Monster World Rally Team. He was also the co-founder of DC Shoes. Ken actively participated in various action sports events, such as skateboarding, snowboarding, and motocross, and co-established Hoonigan alongside Brian Scotto. As of today, the Hoonigan YouTube channel alone, has garnered over 1.15 billion views. Sign Up for BATTLE APPROVED updates by clicking HERE. Check out the official HOONIGAN website HERE.

Brian Scotto is the co-founder of HOONIGAN, a brand that either created or found a new kind of car enthusiast that loved their cars but drove them in a way that some would call abusive. To the Hoonigans it was what was needed to go drifting, rally racing, or to just have fun. Burnouts: evolved. Working alongside business partner and mentor, Ken Block, they created the Gymkhana video series, holding the attention of over 550 million people and brands like Ford, Monster Energy, and Subaru. On this episode we talk about @brianscotto growing collection of Audis and VWs (some of which work); getting in early on the RWB Porsche craze; how a valve cover fix became a whole engine; the slippery slope of Audi love; the wonderful challenge that was working with Ken; and how the dark cloud of a sudden and terrible tragedy caused him and the HOONIGAN family to come together and reflect on the past and plan the future. Recorded April 24, 2023 Go to blackvue.com/TST to learn more about the BlackVue DR770X Box dash cams.

Chris Harris sits down with the Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder of Hoonigan, Brian Scotto. The pair talk through how Brian got into cars and motoring journalism, how Brian founded Hoonigan alongside Ken Block, and also how the Gymkhana videos became a global automotive sensation.

Brian Scotto has been a lot of things, Magazine Editor, Film Director, and now Youtube personality Chief Creative Officer at Hoonigan. Through all that, he's also had a serious addiction to the Audi brand... particularly the big bodies. In this second part of our discussion with him, we talk about importing cars from Germany, wheels/Rotiform, the art of video production (versus virality) and Hoonigan's upcoming Electrikhana with Ken Block and the S1 e-tron Hoonitron.

Through all that, he's also had a serious addiction to the Audi brand... particularly the big bodies. In this first part of our discussion with him, we talk about Hoonigan's Audi SEMA cars, his Coupe quattro and Ken Block's Sport quattro, plus his ever-expanding Audi habit.

We drop a bonus episode. This time, the boys sit down and chat with Brian Scotto for a second time.

Today's guest is the Hoonigan Design Director Jon Chase, however you might also know Jon for being the person behind DSTROYR, a lifestyle brand he created. But you might ask how did Jon start on this path? It all started by working incredibly hard at an industrial rubber company. Then things took a turn as Jon started at Famous Stars and Straps working under Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. Jon spent time at Maisto as a designer working on diecast vehicles before some serious arm twisting from Hoonigan's Brian Scotto. This arm twisting had Jon join the growing band of Hoonigans and led to what is now his current position as Design Director. 

Hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman are sliding into this On the Move with key takeaways from Mecum's October Takeover. The guys discuss the action-packed month featuring three back-to-back live auctions. All three boasted incredible sell-through rates in excess of 80%, with top sellers at each auction going for much more than $200,000 and the grand total over all three October auctions exceeding $60 million. From there, it's on to preliminary thoughts of what to expect at the upcoming SEMA show in Las Vegas before a quick tease of November's Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Rosemont, Illinois. The pair also chat about Chevrolet Performance's newly released ZZ632 crate engine–the brand's most powerful and largest yet. The 632 CI V-8 produces 1,004 HP and 876 lb-ft of torque. In the second part of this week's episode, it's another Surprisingly Great Guest powered by State Farm and its surprisingly great rates on car insurance. Hoonigan Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer Brian Scotto hops on the line to get Matt up to speed on the brand's upcoming 10-year anniversary. Other topics include what Brian sees as future collectibles, based on what he's seeing from Hoonigan's younger automotive enthusiasts fanbase, as well as the allure and excitement of owning more recent vehicles. The content creator also shares how the team is gearing up for the world of electric vehicles and teases some of the radical builds Hoonigan will have on display at the SEMA show.

Mike Spinelli is one of the funniest and best people in the automotive space and he has quite a resume: He ran 0-60 Magazine with Brian Scotto, ran Jalopnik in the early days, hosted many a show on the /DRIVE Network (and NBCSN's "/DRIVE", and now runs thing behind the scenes of The/DRIVE.com.Go to BlackVue.com/TST and use the promo code TIRE to get 10% off any BlackVue dash cam.

Would you believe that Jon Chase, the Art Director over at Hoonigan, started his career at an industrial rubber company? Some of the best and most notable people in the automotive world started in careers that had nothing to do with automobiles. But then things changed. After landing a job as a junior designer for Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker at his company Famous Stars and Straps, he then went onto work at Maisto (that really cool company that makes diecast cars) to make more cool stuff, while at the same time starting his own clothing company called DSTROYR. The world of drifting was next where Jon designed product for the likes of Chris Forsberg and Vaughn Gittin Jr. After that he met Brian Scotto from Hoonigan, and the rest, at least for now anyway, is history (and of course we’re simplifying that). This week on the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ we’d like to welcome Jon Chase as he takes us through his journey of art and design. We’ve also pulled a beautiful 1957 Chevrolet Nomad resto-mod from our classified for the simple reason that we thought Jon would dig it. Enjoy! https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/chevrolet/nomad/2451406.html

When I first moved to LA I worked in marketing and PR for what was then a three-pronged business owned by Mike Ryan. Mike is a Hollywood Stunt Driver famous for doing stunts with semi trucks, but alongside his driving, he owned a business responsible for sourcing and placing cars in movies and television shows. At the time, Mike was also one of only two guys racing a semi at the esteemed Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb: the second oldest race in America behind the Indianapolis 500. It was 2007 when today’s guest Brian Scotto founded a magazine called 0-60. I was first in contact with Brian when he reached out about doing an article on Mike. 0-60 was based in New York City and I was going to be there the following week, so I suggested we meet for lunch and talk about it. The article went great and the magazine was awesome. 12 years later, Brian is now living in Long Beach, California and heads up [HOONIGAN], a multi-media company best known for its production of Gymkhana videos starring Ken Block acrobatically driving an arsenal of tire-shredding cars. Collectively the videos have amassed a viewership in excess of 550 million views. Given I’ve been a big fan of effectively everything he’s produced, I reached out to Brian about me now interviewing him, and he kindly obliged. His story is a fun one and we conduct some serious car talk as you can imagine. I thoroughly enjoy how he goes into what’s been easy for him as well as the challenges that opportunity can bring. We also get a back stage pass to what goes into making those incredibly viral videos. What I thoroughly enjoy, and frankly get inspired by, is other people’s passion. And it’s fair to say you can hear Brian’s passion in this conversation. He’s well on his way to building an empire, but at the end of the day, he’s as curious about what you have going on as he is about how he’ll attract millions of eyeballs on YouTube. I truly had a blast seeing him again, and I’m certainly excited to see what they have coming, so stay tuned to hear about it.

Brian Scotto is the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Hoonigan Industries as well as Creative Director on Ken Block’s ultra-viral Gymkhana Series. He first turned his childhood obsession with fast cars into a media profession as an automotive journalist. He served as Editor-in-Chief for three different enthusiast titles, including the award-winning 0-60 Magazine, which he founded. After working with Ken Block’s marketing team, Brian helped to form Monster World Rally Team (now the Hoonigan Racing Division). It's Brian's creative storytelling approach that has grown the company into what it is today while creating the attitude and authenticity that has made Hoonigan a subculture of its own.

He worked at 0-60 Magazine with Brian Scotto (of the Hoonigan Empire), and was the first writer at Jalopnik.  He currently hosts "After/DRIVE",  does video reviews for TheDRIVE.com, and is one of the hosts of "/DRIVE on NBC Sports". This show is available as a video!https://youtu.be/EztsRTwhM_wMike on IG: https://www.instagram.com/mikespinelli/Mike on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikespinMike on The DRIVE: http://www.thedrive.com/author/mike-spinelli

Brian Scotto is the co-founder and Chief Brand Officer for Hoonigan Industries, best known for the crazy car exploits of their other founder, Ken Block. Brian is an incredible guy with a huge wealth of talent and knowledge when it comes to cars and car culture and he has helped turn Hoonigan into one of the world's biggest automotive lifestyle brands. Kyle and James were lucky enough to get Brian in the CarStories hot seat just days before the official launch of Climbkhana, the latest Hoonigan masterpiece which sees Ken Block rocketing up Pike's Peak in a 1200+ horsepower twin-turbocharged Hoonicorn Mustang. Brian is also great because he's one of those guys who if you can get them talking, they'll just keep talking indefinitely and typically end up saying some really interesting stuff. This episode is a long one, but it's one of our favorites. Give it a listen and then make sure to go check out Climbkhana on YouTube!
