The first season of Tires saw Shane and Will collab on a new marketing idea: sell tires at cost, and upsell their customers on other services. For two screwups, it worked wonderfully — for a little while.
In season two, 'Will and Shane rush to grow personally and professionally without fully realizing the cost of doing business,' according to Netflix. Also, that whole tires plan that titled the show may bring down the whole house of cards. Shane's dad (Thomas Haden Church), Will's uncle, is here to save his brother's/nephew's/son's business.
In the season two trailer, which The Hollywood Reporter can first share, Shane's got a girlfriend, Will's got 'big time squirrel vibes' and the show has (a little bit of) Vince Vaughn. Shane's dad has testosterone cream — and now Will is gonna have his 'penis fill up with blood' whether he 'like(s) it or not.' Oh, and together, Valley Forge Auto finally has some proper sexual harassment training. It… doesn't go well.
Tires, based on a Gillis YouTube pilot, is created by Gillis, Gerben and comedian John McKeever, who also write the show together. Those three executive produce the series along with Brandon James for Rough House; Brian Stern and Kenneth Slotnick for AGI Entertainment Media & Management; and Becky Astphan. McKeever directs the series.
The Tires cast also includes Chris O'Connor, Kilah Fox and Stavros Halkias; comedian Andrew Schulz guest stars.
Tires is the second production from Gillis and McKeever's production company, Dad Sick Productions. Gillis' standup special, Beautiful Dogs, was the first.

Taylor Swift has been saving up to buy her music masters since she was a teenager
How did Taylor Swift close one of the biggest deals of her career? With help from her mom and little brother. Swift gave a behind-the-scenes look at how she was able to buy back her music masters during an episode of "New Heights," the podcast hosted by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce. The episode aired on Wednesday and had over 1.3 million viewers on YouTube as of this writing. Swift, who bought her masters earlier this year for a reported $360 million, said she'd been saving for that moment since she was a teenager. "It's always been a huge thing for me. Since I was a teenager, I've been actively saving up money to buy my music back and to ever own it in the first place because it's usually the label that owns it," she said. "I've always wanted this to happen." Swift said she signed a record deal when she was 15 and that typically, such deals are set up so the artist does not own their master recordings: "Owning your master records means that you have complete control and power over distribution, licensing, and essentially the way your legacy is shaped," she said. The masters for Swift's first six albums had several owners over the years, including Big Machine Records and Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings. She said the first time they were sold, it "really ripped my heart out of my chest." "I thought about not owning my music every day. It was like an intrusive thought that I had every day," she said. That motivated her to rerecord the albums, releasing them one at a time with the appended title of "Taylor's Version." She released four of the rerecorded albums before buying back her masters this year. The rereleases were a huge success for Swift. They were praised by critics and loved by fans, garnering more streams than the original versions. Buying her music back after the Eras Tour After the Eras Tour, Swift said her team thought it might be a good time to approach the then-owners of her masters, a private equity firm called Shamrock Capital, to see if she could buy her music outright. "I don't want to be in a partnership. I don't want to own 30% of it. I want to own all of it," she said. "But it was a long shot to think that they would do that — that they would sell that asset to me." Swift said she wanted to approach the purchase from a personal place because it was more than a business transaction to her. So rather than sending a team of lawyers or managers, Swift said she sent her mom and brother, who she said she also works with, to meet with Shamrock Capital. "They told them the whole story — of all the times we've tried to buy it, all the times it's fallen through, all the times we had gotten plans together and figured out something we thought was going to work and it didn't at the last minute," she said. Eventually, some time after the meeting and a couple of months after the Super Bowl, Swift said she got the call from her mom. "She's like, 'You got your music.' And I just very dramatically hit the floor, for real," Swift said. "Like, honestly, just started bawling my eyes out, and I'm just like weeping." "This changed my life. I can't believe it still," she added. Swift announced her coming album, " The Life of a Showgirl," in a preview clip from the podcast that was shared shortly after midnight on Tuesday.
