Well, another throwback episode. This is from June 2017. It's called Boxing a Dead Kangaroo.
And I don't know why, because I wasn't there. Dr. Bruce is sitting in for me, and they go
straight to the phones. They talk to someone wondering why people have so much more concern
for animals than humans. That's something Adam and I have talked about over the years.
And also, a little catch-a-contractor action. It is Adam and Dr. Bruce for a throwback
episode. You'll have to keep listening to see why it's called Boxing a Dead Kangaroo.
Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Corolla and board-certified
physician and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're
listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew show. Yeah, get it on.

Fascinating stuff.
Fascinating stuff. Bruce is, he's a real deal, everybody. Podcasts with dr. Drew subscribe on iTunes fascinating stuff fascinating stuff Bruce's
He's a real deal everybody and again in the urban dictionary. Oh, yes
Oh, that's right prominently
Highlighted and rightfully so in the urban dictionary. They you know what they can never take that away from you
good lenses bad frames, huh, I
I can never take that away from you. Good lenses, bad frames, huh?
I will not be recognized for my genius in my lifetime,
either, Bruce, so do not worry about it.
But good lenses, bad frames is the most apt description
of somebody who's actually good, just doesn't
look good at their job.
How do you think ER patients would feel if they got,
you're a doctor, these good lenses, bad frames.
I don't want you introducing me.
Hey, it could be, you could be under the beheimen.
That would be a real problem with your career.
I would say it's emblematic of your comedic genius.
So you're able to encapsulate a description of someone that's concise, not always accurate,
but. Well, the thing
about it is, is there's never any effort put into it. It's simply there. It's not
like I'm gonna go home, I'm gonna get my steno pad, I'm gonna try to come up with
something that works for Dr. Spaz. You just sort of have to be in the moment.
And when people say, when you come up with your metaphors, how do you do that?
And the answer is you don't try.
It has to hit you.
Yeah, no, I know. I've tried and I get a little spastic.
It's almost not really something you can try to do.
You have to just sort of let it move you a little bit.
Okay. Phone calls are up there. There not? That's one. We'll get to
this guy. Alan, line three. Hey, Alan.
Hey, Ace Man.
How you doing, man?
And Dr. Bruce.
Good day.
So, my question is, or two things. I have a real quick, rich man man poor man I'd like to get your thoughts on.
And so it gets killed by a piece of machinery that is worth more than a billion dollars.
All right.
So you're driving a Ferrari GTO or Luso on one of those, you know, they're doing the
Italian hill climb and you get cleaned out in your Luso or your
GTO or your Burketta or whatever it is in a vintage race or whatever versus driving
the, you're driving the asphalt spreader for the city of Inglewood and you get caught,
you get caught putting the black and blacked out for over
40 years single it city Inglewood and you get caught under your asphalt
spreader right right or it's a big mining vehicle or something yeah that's
that's attention that's solid I like that and Gary capture it somehow but
it's not exactly poor man,
like driving the heavy equipment
or working the heavy equipment,
it's middle, you know, that guy's bringing down 60K a year.
It's not that poor man type thing, but it's solid.
I like being killed by equipment,
which is worth much more than you.
Yeah, okay, so then my question is I have a co-worker who's a
woman she's like 38 years old and is unmarried and childless and she when
somebody else mentioned that the sent sent around pictures in an email of a
brand new baby everybody got excited from her she said you know basically oh
cool it was like a
four or five out of ten for her but then when the Cincinnati Zoo put out new
footage of a baby hippo it was like a 15 out of 10 like you'd never heard so much
baby talk out of this 38 I'm wondering yes I'm just wondering what what's the
motivation there is that she's shy about the fact that she
doesn't have children and doesn't want to expend that energy in an obvious way on a
human baby?
Chicks are wired weirdly and guys are wired sort of like robots and then there's guys
that are sort of wired like chicks which makes them like chicks
Which is what we're
Reconjuring the wiring now if you have a really straight wiring
I don't mean heterosexual does mean like a super pragmatic straight wiring like I have a pragmatic straight wiring
And so if you say to me and I see it with Gina grad all the time
It's not like there's something wrong with Gina grad or there's something wrong with Lynette or anyone else.
They're wired like women.
It's a good thing.
That's why you want them raising the kids.
They have a wiring, which is different than your wiring.
But if Gina Grad is sitting here and you go, oh, man, there was a small aircraft that died
and five people, a parish, including a father and teenage son oh and their dog
Rusty she'll go oh like upon the dog perishing you won't hear anything about
the five souls. You're treading on thin ice here. I'm treading on true ice here puss.
That's how chicks are wired. That's how Gina Grad would react.
Lynette's got actually less of that probably than most, but that's just how chicks are
wired for the most part and super soft dudes.
When chicks are wired like chicks, that's a good thing.
When guys are wired like chicks, it's a bad thing.
But that's a chick wiring thing.
A lot of it is less pragmatic and more, oh, I just heard about a dog dying. But they do have a gear
for putting dogs in front of human beings in the sadness department, which is absolutely
bizarre to me. And you know what I think a lot of it is?
What?
Whether it's good animal or bad animal, like dogs dying or dogs puppies being born or whatever I've figured this out in real time dogs
kids chicks sorry
chicks
look at
chicks and dudes wired like chicks look at
human beings as
things as once you get outside of your own family, you're just into some other species somewhere or not even another species. But it's like, hey, a truck went on a rampage
in South Africa and killed the tribe members or something. You're just like, yeah, all right. Hey, a fairy turned
over in the Philippines and 81 people drown. It's like, yeah. You have nothing for that
because you have no connection at all. When it comes to puppies or hippopotamus or Cecil
the Lion, we all own those. Women and dumb dudes think that they own, like they're
somehow world citizens when it comes to puppies and animals and stuff like that. So they do make
a big deal out of Cecil the lion because that's their lion, even though it has nothing to do with
them. And they have much more in common with the Filipino who drowned when the fairy capsized because it was over capacity, but they don't
Doesn't hit them returning in our culture. We anthropomorphize we make we as from little kids on we make animals like Disney
We we think these things are ideal
creatures that have personalities and their human traits and they're
creatures that have personalities and their human traits and they're lovable and perfect. Well that would be good. Your theory, except for what I'm saying, is the
creatures have passed people. Right, right. So you're saying you've turned the
creatures into people. I'd rather be turned into a puppy because that way I'd
get a... oh, when the plane, when the asphalt spreader runs over me, I'm on the
poor man's side.
You know what I'm saying?
That doesn't explain what I'm talking about.
What I'm talking about is they're much more caught up
in Cecil the lion than they are in whatever,
the 82 Christians that were blown up
by the ISIS bomber wearing the vest,
they don't give a that and zero for that.
Now what about people that like other countries and hate our own country? Can we get into
any kind of...
If you'd like to I know exactly what that is.
Well like Teddy Roosevelt said it's like men that like other women as much as they like
their wives or men that like other countries as much as their own.
Oh really?
Yeah. Same thing. I love Teddy Roosevelt. I like him too but that is, those
are people, chicks and dudes that are pissed that they're dad. They're always angry at
dad. And dad becomes the man. As a matter of daddy is the man daddy starts as the man and then at a certain point
The country becomes the me Ronald Reagan becomes the man and now you got a wage war against Ronald Reagan
Well, you have to push up against Ronald Reagan even though whatever you're saying is fucking retarded like
You know when Ronald Reagan was butt in heads with
the Soviet Union, I didn't know anything about world politics, but I knew enough to know
we're better than the Soviets are. What are you taking their side for? You're not taking
their side because you agree with what Brezhnev agrees with or Yeltsin or whoever, whoever
the Russian leader de jure is. You're agreeing with them because you hate your dad,
who's taken on the form of Ronald Reagan. So that's what you're pushing up against.
There's no, you have no love of communism or the Soviet Union or their regime or all the horrible
atrocities they've done to their people, or God forbid, all the stuff, they're incredible
hypocrites because, you know, all the marches on women's rights and gays
rights and all that kind of stuff these people trample over women's rights and
gays rights and what have you so why are you taking their side simple
Reagan's your dad and you hate your dad. So I'm intrigued by the safe spaces movie
you're doing so you're going to campuses and you're gonna be are you gonna would
you make statements like that because I think that would be very provocative and
I think it is a provocative idea. Oh thank you I get to make whatever statements
I want. Is that what you guys are gonna I saw you guys on Tucker Carlson that was
very interesting that he was I think he considers that a sort of this is the
right time for that that type of a project I think.
I would say one of his causes de jure or I mean not I don't mean de jure but I mean he has a number of things that you know look not everyone can be concerned about everything all the time and we're the same. But how we're turning young people into super soft victims is
something I'm very interested in. I think Dennis Prager is very interested in it,
Tucker Carlson is interested in it as well. The reason I don't want to turn
young people or any people, whatever your nationality is into a victim is
because it destroys the person right you become a victim I mean they it's it's an
insane instinct to want somebody to feel like they're a victim it is a is a
parent the last thing I would want for either one of my kids is
to feel like a victim. I'd rather them, you know, we spent a lot of time going,
hey, you got to feel good, like you got to feel smart, like you got to realize
there's only one of you and nobody else before, you know, this planet came that was you and no one else after you and
Every day, you know what? Today is the next day to the rest of your life and all that
I'd rather them feel stupid
Then feel victimized. I'd rather them feel dumb or
Inadequate or just or just about any feeling under the rainbow other than a victim.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And the feeling like a victim would be more hobbling to them than feeling ugly.
I'd rather them feel ugly, dumb, stupid, and undeserving than feel like a victim.
As a parent.
Don't you also think it's better for kids to lose once in a while and there be a winner
in them learning to accept?
I agree.
Be nice if Sonny won a basketball game on a rare occasion.
He's not so comfortable with losing.
He's not even sure if he needs to make the trip.
He knows. This is a foregone if he needs to make the trip. He knows.
This is a foregone conclusion.
Of course people should lose.
He cheated last time we were playing horse.
Oh, did he?
Yes.
Well, so maybe he got a victory.

It's got a lot of wisdom, that man.
Yes, yes. I'd like to, I think maybe if I joined your team as a presenter and I
could share some of my wisdom just whisper to Dennis all right let's talk
to Eric 29 Riverside Eric hey yeah yeah I got problem. I fixed up my kitchen, right? And then a guy charged me 2,300
to do my kitchen and this guy has been taking them, took them two months and a half to do my kitchen
and now I paid him already 1,800. Now he's not going to come back to finish his job because he wants the money first.
And I told him I'm not going to you till the job done so he never came
back he left my door hinges and my he didn't install my doors he just left
yeah and it's been two weeks now so I took him to I took him to court I mean I
filed the paperwork for small claims and I just want to know you know what what's
if I win if I should I sue I'm suing them for all the
money back so what yeah for the 1800 yeah licensed no he said he was he said
he was but he said he don't want to put his license on the job because I would
have to pay property taxes and he would have to pay taxes also so I checked and
it doesn't I called the board they said said they had they have no name. There's no there's nothing under
It's not he's not licensed because no one's redoing a kitchen for 2300 bucks who has a license
What was the scope and scale of his work?
His work is usually doing cabinets, but this guy tore it was tearing down my walls
He did the drywall wrong so I had to pay a contractor a real contractor drywall to fix my drywall he messed up my
window he when he framed my window it was cricket it wasn't right and we put my granite
in put my granite in and it's lopsided it's everything's all messed up yeah he messed
all my whole kitchen up and I've been I've been living without a house Well, I've been living my mother-in-law's house for two months. So I got two kids. Oh
Yeah, hey Eric
All right. Let me give you some sagely advice
Okay
The 1800 bucks you can sue the guy you can get it back. Also when stuff is like too cheap to be true
It is in the contracting world, my God.
I mean, my God.
Look, you can go talk to Mark Garagas and he could do you a favor and give you some
good lawyer advice for free or something like that, but it's sort of in the air.
The thing about contracting is it's tangible.
It involves demo and rough electrical and rough plumbing and
finish electrical and finish plumbing and granite countertops and cabinets and
like it's man hours. Like you can't talk your way out, you know, when you go we're
gonna do the floor, we're gonna do the countertops, we're taking all the
hardware off, we're gonna spray all the door fronts and drawers and and it you
can't can't fit that into $ three hundred dollars. Yeah, you could get
You could be friends
with Elton John and Elton John could come play a
Barbecue at your house for free and then Elton John could charge a corporate rate of five hundred thousand dollars
But he could still go play your barbecue for free. That's not impossible doing a kitchen for 2300 is impossible
Because there's no way to do that and make money a
Profit at all and give you any kind of experience that would resemble something that was satisfying now
It's fine could ever get in trouble because he did it without registering it or whatever in other words you
I don't I don't, I don't...
It's Riverside.
And then Adam, hey Adam, and I was on your show on the Build the Stuff Live.
So you see my kitchen.
Oh, that was you.
Yeah.
That was me, yeah.
Yeah.
So Eric, here's what I would say.
I would say sue the guy and go ahead and see if you can get your 1800 back.
And then I would say many of
these things can be solved with money. You got to make money. The problem is is
when you have $2,300 in a dilapidated kitchen then you're just gonna have $2,300
in a dilapidated kitchen. Yeah what about the wife is she ready to get rid of you?
Oh man she's she was she's more pissed off at him. She's been calling him, been calling him and calling him,
but you don't answer his phone no more.
But the way-
Yeah, we know where he lives at, so.
Oh boy.
But Eric, the only way you can get out of this part of life
is to literally make more money.
You just have to make more money.
Otherwise, it's too painful.
Whatever your work is, what is your work?
I work for the school district, for Riverside school district, a stock clerk.
Walk into your manager's office tomorrow and demand a salary of $550,000 a year and tell them
unless you don't fit, unless you don't do that, I will pull out my retractable chain with all the keys on it and slap it on your desk.
Like when a cop leaves the force and he slaps his badge on the desk. Don't do that, Eric.
I'll get fired, man.
I will figure out how to make some cash on the weekends, see about getting some training, see if you got,
let me tell you something man, when you're not making any money everything's a pain in the ass,
a parking ticket is devastating when you're not making any money, everything's, everything's,
you know, oh gas went up 19 cents a gallon, oh god damn, you know. And you're not a trust fund
kid, you can remember with the days when that would have been devastated
Yeah, a pretty healthy trust fund left behind for ma'am and I was no when you were
Yeah, right trying to think look Maxipata has seen my Social Security statement
Oh, yeah, I look at it to make me feel better
Eight 1980s ones.
Do you get any poorer than I was?
You can't get poorer unless you lose money in the year.
Like, you got, there were some where it was zero.
Like, I had some zero months in there.
Now you have to take that social security and then you have to match it against my parents'
inability to earn money or distribute money or care or care and now it's like
You're really
Yeah, I don't you know a lot of people talk about you know
Oh, we slept eight to a bedroom and drank from a well and you know
Like I don't have that kind of like share crop or poor but in terms of modern-day poor
Not third world poor and not turn of the century poor just modern-day poor, not third-world poor and not turn-of-the-century poor, just modern-day poor.
I'll have a poor off with anybody. I don't know who was... You can't really be... I mean, you could owe money, I guess.
I didn't really... You know, I owed the IRS some money. I guess I owed on like a credit card. So I probably did owe money, but had less money than me. I remember a crappy car you had when I met you. Really?
What was I driving? I don't know, was it like a small Toyota of some sort? I had a Toyota
that got totaled and then I got a Honda that had like a hundred and fifty thousand
miles on it or something like that to drive the beaterest of pickup trucks.
Yeah. And I think I got a Camaro at that time and I asked hey you want to go for
Right now no
Even at that time you were a car snob
Wasn't a car snob. I had somebody asked me somebody just I was just talking to him about you
He got the new zeo whatever one Camaro with a 10 speed. Oh the 10 speed. Ah
Would you like to revel in your glory? Yes. Yes. Well, why don't you just recount the story? Okay
We were standing out on my porch
Enjoying let's see. There's a fine selection of beers. It was either Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona. Yeah, that's
Yes, I'm alright so we had but don't worry this wasn't free Corona this Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona Corona that have been gathering dust because I don't like Corona and then I'd said to Lynette before we throw this party I was
like do not buy beer I got all the beer over at the other shop and it's all back
there just go get I got free beer they give us free beer a fine selection of
beer and then it was that was like on a Tuesday and that's smash-cut to Friday it's like Dylan's come back so I got all the beer you want
me to put in your car like what beer I just went and bought beer and I like
what would you get Corona got three cases of Corona where'd you get it I
got it at the supermarket like why did you buy Corona I hate Corona. I got a case of Corona. I don't know. I was told
to get Corona. Okay. Anyway, there's always a miscommunication, but I might, my, my profound
instinct would be that the miscommunications go way down when it's your money, right? And
you don't have that much.
Like, remember my theory about being sick and missing work?
Soon as you can't miss work, boom, the sickness goes down.
You, when it's your money, you get far fewer parking tickets.
If someone else is paying, you get a lot,
like Lynette gets a lot more parking tickets. I get zero parking
tickets because I look at it as my money and I think she looks at it as my money too and thus
she'll get many more tickets than I get. Well, I get zero. So it's an interesting thing. If it is
your money, I do believe there's a little part of your brain that goes, oh, wait a minute,
I already got a case of that beer. I should go get it. Now it is her money, which is the comedic part of it, but it's not looked upon
that way. Don't you think you're haunted by the specter of the ghost of screw-ups? Not peep,
screw-up situations. Because when I heard that, I was like, you're the last person,
not that you're a celebrity to me or anything like that, but you're not somebody, it's like, well, you're the last person, you know, not that you're a celebrity to me or anything like that
But you're not somebody it's like you want to I want to be on time
I want to do things right because you don't suffer fools you get you know a little bit testy
And in this situation, it's like how could that happen?
What happens with me is I?
Somebody says something we're going to do this and then I stop and I go what is going to happen now?
Well, how is this going to play out?
I start thinking about it and I start thinking about the person and what might go wrong in this event and then
after I've profiled the person and profiled the event I then look into
What can happen in the profiling of this person, the profiling of the event.
And I don't go, oh man, we're probably not going to have a birthday cake.
I don't do that because it doesn't, it's not going to fit the person or the event.
We're not going to forget the birthday cake.
I don't, I don't have, I have no, oh, we're probably going to get the wrong birthday.
No, no, that's not my concern.
But my concern is the last event, we went out
and bought a bunch of beer and didn't use it up, and I've been tripping over cases of
it at the other shop, but the event before the event. So now, I think to myself, how
do I unload all this free beer I have? And since Dylan works here, that's going to be
a no-brainer because he's
gonna be dispatched to get the beverages and bring them to the house, and he can simply
load up his car here. So then I work on who's the individual and what's the event. And that's
when I go in and announce, and I don't do it once, I do it twice, which is do not buy
any beer, I got a ton of beer,
I'd like to get rid of the beer.
So do it, and then I stop.
So then I realize, I don't think that's enough.
And then I double back and I go,
there's beer at the other shop as well.
The both shops are filled with beer.
This stuff's free beer, that stuff's beer we paid for.
Use all that, please. And then I go, that's
probably enough, but might not be. So then later when Dylan tells me about the beer,
I have to inquire where he got the beer. So that's how I work. But I'm a profile.
Are you haunted by, I mean, I know Ray inconsistencies, Lynette, I've been in that boat, Drew, is
it just you're cursed by people
that are more inconsistent than you?
No, I think there's a handful of your Nick Santora's and Kevin Hench's and Jimmy Kimmel's
out there and then there's sort of everybody else. And I don't mind that they're who they
are. I don't like that they have as much pride about it as they do
But I don't I I understand that's the the majority of the people
The reason I get to be me is because of everyone else
Hmm. I've always say to people I'm not that smart. It's everyone else. Oh
No, I know you you know what I'm saying Max Max Paddy, you're getting an idea of what goes on
in this universe.
I'm not exceptional.
It's everyone else.
You gotta beat Ray.
Anyone can beat Ray in the work department
or the smarts department or the accumulate things department
or the anything department.
If Ray's your competition, you're gonna win. like if you're boxing a dead kangaroo you're
gonna win so that's it that's it's it that is mo and then go look look
abroad look look around the world you want to hear what's going on around the
world all you have to do is be smarter than that and You could be you could you could have a warehouse filled with exotic sports cars
Really?
Just got to be better than you Bruce
That's all that's all at the I think it's a very old joke
But it was
Walter Payton oh Man now we got it out of the 10 speed Camaro story
yeah damn it what's what was what was the Matsui Matsui was Walter Payton's
fullback he'd black form I think sort of the story was Matsui and like Walter
Payton or camping or something and a bear comes
running at him and like Walter Payton like starts running and Matt Sui says, how you think you're
going to outrun that bear? And Walter Payton says, I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to
outrun you. Now go through, now apply that to your life. You don't have to, I can't outrun a bear.
Can I be smarter than Ray?
Yes I can.
Can I have a better work ethic than Ray?
Of course.
My dad or my mom, all you have to,
I'm not gonna outrun a full-grown grizzly bear,
I just have to outrun the drunken slow guys
running with his pants around his ankles behind me.
And I'm set. Yeah. All right
I want you to leave enough time for the 10 10 10 speed Camaro. Yes
all right, so we're standing on the porch drinking a corona corona corona corona and
I just got done doing this
Race Bruce and I like to talk racing and cars or whatever and I said I was driving a new
Corvette cr7r
something, sequential shift, whatever it is and he said what kind of shifting was it
and I said it's sequential which is not paddle shift in this case it's a stick
shift but it just keeps going back and forward in order it's the same way a
motorcycle motorcycle one up five down or whatever be right click it up for first gear and then down down down down
And if you want to go back up, it's up up up up. You can't skip gears. Yeah
So this car is weird it had a I think it was like
first
Trying to think it was like first gear was backwards
Neutral was for first second third third to fifth was
backwards neutral was forward and then it had a grip with a cable on it like a
bicycle handbrake for reverse why that thing in lock reversing I don't know I
don't know that's how it's not f1 now but that's how the car was set up and
monster car there's a monster cars 850 horsepower
And then Bruce said to have a 10 speed and has a 10 speed
It's insane. No car has
There are four speed for a million years and we got up to five and then someone came out with six and maybe a Porsche
Has a seven but nobody has a 10 speed then I yelled at him and maybe that was just through the haze of the Corona's
But I yelled and yelled at him that no car has a 10-speed then I yelled at him and maybe that was just through the haze of the Coronas but I yelled yelled at him that no car has a 10-speed Bruce that's
a bicycle not a 10-speed and then Bruce sent me a an article a link to an article
talk about the new Chevy with a 10-speed Ford and Chevy share the transmission
I was just talking to Matt the moderator Deandrea driving a Ford F-150 back from
San Diego with
a 10-speed in it. And I thought, wow, that's diabolic. I said, you couldn't feel it shift.
It was like always at the right rev peak and all that kind of stuff. And I thought, wow.
So somebody is making a 10-speed and getting it out to Ford and NGMGM and the thing that's insane about it is you know like
Mercedes and whoever like they're all getting like seven eight speeds or
something but it's very unusual that America or America is on the vanguard of
this technology well the DCT transmission is sort of fading away from
that a little bit I think BMW is my understanding what is that trend the double clutch oh the double clutch not didn't pan out quite
the way they they hope to win but all right so no safe spaces me and Prager
